ence held between the officials of the
Suburban Railway cOmpany-the only
system in ST. Louis not controlled by
the st. Louis Transit company and on
which a strike was inaugurated ten
days prior to that declared on the
Transit system-and the employees of
that road an amicable adjustment was
effected and the men returned to work
this morning.
Terms of the Suburban Settlement.
By the agreement entered into be-
tween General Manager Jenkins, of the
Suburban road, and George w. Wood
worth, chairman of the grievance COM
mittee which settled the strike, all diff
ferences were submitted to arbitra-

cision of the violation of the agree

to decide whether the company or it's
employees violated that agreement. If
thes decision is in favor Of the company
then all the men are to return to work

Conference Over the Transit Strike.
President Whitaker, of the Transit
company, said after adjournment of a
conference that met yesterday to talk
of settling his troubles: There is
nothing to be said about the conference.
because nothing definite has been done.
We talked, and that isall. Propositions
have been made and are under consid-

speak for the meeting, because our
business has not been concluded. am

there is no use saying anything unless
it is final and official. There will be
nothing more to give out tonight. l

A Society Fad.

Something new is promised in the way
of society fad, says the New York CORE
spondent Of the Boston Transcript.
During the coming winter no really well
and properly equipped dinner table will
be considered complete, on a festive &C.
casion in the house of any fashionable
millionaire, unless there is a dwarf cherry
tree for an ornamental least one cherry
tree, that is to say, though there may be
as many as half dozen. These trees will
bear actual fruit, ruddy ripe, which the
guests are expected to pluck for them
selves when dessert.time arrives. Not
more than one hundred cherries will be
on each tree, but, inssmuch as they will
be of extraordinary size and delicious
quality, besides being so unusual a luxury,
this number should suffice for small din
ner party at all events-one Of those ideal
" managed entertainments at which, in
accordance with accepted theory in such
matters, the persons present are not fewer
than the Graces nor exceeding the MUSES.
numerically.
These dwarf cherry trees have been
evolved by the ingenuity of French gar
deners, and during the last winter they
have been the vogue in gay Paris. That
they cost a good deal of money goes with
out saying, inasmuch as the fruit has to
be forced by special processes in the
greenhouse, and, the little crop once
picked, there cannot be another until a
twelve.month later. The French are
wonderful at this sort of thing, having de-
veloped the art of horticulture along GER
tain lines to a point undreamed of on this
side Of the Atlantic.
The cherry trees, as they appear on the
dnner-table, are four or five years old,
but have trunks only about an inch and a
half in diameter. They have never been
permitted to grow more than three feet
high, being kept cut down to that point.
while most of the branches are Topped of,
so that the little tree has wholly arti-
fetal aspect. At the proper time it is set
in pot and placed in the dollhouse for
the purpose of forcing it to fruit. And
finally, when the fruit appears, most of
the cherries are removed. while at yet inn
mature, with pair of scissors, only 100
or go being allowed to ripen. AS result,
they have size and quality far superior
to the best of ordinary cherries.

Spent Millions fmeFour Years.

The appointment by the court in Paris
of George Gould as trustee for the estate
of the Countess Castellane is the talk OF
that city. AS the court gives Gould abb
solute control of the countess's estate and
as the count has not a cent in bis own
name it means that he will have to go 20
his American brother-inlaw for his peck
ct money, and will have to render &C.
count to Mr.. Gould for the money he
spends. 1t is likely that the expensive
property purchased by the count will be
sold. Counsel for the Goulds stated that
Mr.. Gould petitions the court to deprive
the count or countess Of any power to
touch the capital of the estate or TO con-
tract debts. Further, counsel stated, that
De Castellane himself was absolutely PEN
nless. Under bis guidance the countess
had spent $3,0O0,O00 in the past four
years 5000, 900 more than her income for
that period beside having contracted debts
to the amount of nearly $4,500,0O0 The
count is said to have made the assertion
that his object in marrying Anna Gould
was to obtain money to entertain others.
1t is said that Count Castellane prom
ised the Gould family that he would not
oppose the application of a trusteeship Of
the estate of the countess on condition
that bis debts are paid. 1t is also ru.
mored that the Goulds favor separation.
The counts brother, Ademar, is engaged
to an American girl.

MISSIONARIES WELL PAID.
Married Men Receive One Thousand
Dollars a Year and Travel
ing Expenaes.

The foreign missionary does not
work for love of humanity alone. He
is a well-paid person, and instead OF
having the usual Sundays and holt
days of rest like other folks he Is
given a years vacation with salary
every once in from four to ten years,
says the Philadelphia Call. The mar
ried men missionaries in China re-
ceive $1,000 a year and travel pay.
When missionaries who are married
have children old enough to require
to be kept in school away from home
they are allowed $50 additional. II
young children are with their parents
and to be supported 500 additional
is allowed for each child. OF course
these salaries include house rentals
and travelling expenses to and from
the stations.
When missionaries take a vacation
of a year their travelling expenses to
and from their stations are paid at
this time and almost their full salary
likewise allowed them. More than
the salary must, of course, be the i'm
polling motive when missionaries go
to such fields as China.
1t is good, too, to learn that the Ia
borers are not lacking even in the
face of such horrors as it is feared
have recently been inflicted on Gospel
workers in China. Even at the pres
ent moment foreign mission boards
are in receipt of hundreds of letters
from volunteers who clamor to be sent
to the land of the Celestials.

SOME POST OFFICE FIGURES.
Interesting Facts from the Report
of the London Postmaster
General.

The annual report of the postmsS-
ter general, although not due till par
lament reassembles, has been made
public by Lord Londonderry. He re-
tails the colossal blunders Of the pub
lie with great gusto. 1t is really as
tonishing that 2ss,667 packets should
be posted unaddressed and still more
that 2,767 contained cash, notes postal
orders and other paper money. There
is another record OF carelessness
against the public in the fact that the
articles found loose in the post have
increased by nearly 80 per cent. in the
last four years. The craze for cheap
ness affects even postal covers, to our
loss, il would seem. For the fact that
undelivered correspondence for the
army in South Africa is being re-
turned in large quantities, there Is
ample explanation in the melancholy
list of losses in the war. The post
master general appears to be sur
prised that 35,448 letters addressed to
the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State, which were stopped at Cape
Town at the outbreak of the war,
"were not claimed there by the per-
sons TO-. whom they were intended"
There was, no doubt, a difficulty in
the way of either Beers or uitlanders
sending down to Cape Town for their
mails after war had been declared.
There is healthy surplus on the
working of the department Of e3,-
710,631, which will please the chan
cellor of the exchequer. But the de-
felt on telegraphs has increased from
csc. $3.50 to E 288,438.

A Cruclfix Saved Gilmore.

Lieutenant. Commander Gilmore, in his
account of his experiences as prisoner Of
the Filipinos in McClure's Magazine, says
that he owes his life and that of his COM
panion to a peculiar incident which &C.
Cured when they had been taken into the
mountains by Filipino lieutenant, who
had been ordered by General Tino to ex-
ecute them. He writes: 81 have always
believed that the lieutenant's refusal to
obey orders and execute us was due to the
effect produced in his mind by an incident
which had occurred night or two earlier.
At one of our stops he had shown me a
crucifix which he wore hung by a ribbon
around his neck, and said to me: The
Americans are not Christians oh, yes,
l replied; all the Americans are Chris
tians.' But you never wear any cruel
fixes opened my jacket and showed
him my breast. cruci6x had been tat
tooed there years ago, when l was a mid
shipman. The Tagal leaped to his feet
with an exclamation of surprise. He in
stantly crossed himself. His eyes nearly
started out of his head. l explained to
him that any one could buy crucifix and
hang it around his neck, but that | had
endured pain to have my crucix pricked
in the flesh, and that, as he could see, it
must always he with me. There was a
marked change in his manner to toward
me after that"

FLORIDA ORANGES.
This Years Crop viii Be Double That
of Last Season.

The freezes of 1894 and 1895 killed most
of Florida's orange trees down to the
roots but did not kill the roots, and
sprouts since 1895 have grown into bearing
trees So general is this fact that Florids's
orange crop this winter is expected to be
about 900, 900 boxes, and will be twice
as much next year. There is no orange
equal to Florida orange in flavor and de-
liciousness, so that it commands good
price. This years crop will bring, it is
believed, about $1.75 box. In this case
the profit may be as much as in 1884,
when the crop was 5000, 600 boxes, Cali
fornia oranges are good, but the Florida
orange is better. fccording to the Louis
vile Courier.Journal 1.-THE Florida orange
is the queen of fruits. Ponce de Leon
searched the peninsula oyer for the tabled
fountain of youth without success, but a
wiser man would have been content with
the first orange grove. The tropics pro.
duce nothing else SO delicate, so refreshing,
SO pleasing to the eye, so seductive to the
nostrils and so ravishing to the taste"

NEW STYLE OF LINE MAPS.
Various Kinds of Clay and
Baked Like Brick.

It is learned that the Northwestern
Railway company, of England, is in
Producing in several of the stations OF
the line maps of the tile for accommo-
dalton of patrons of the road. The
maps measure about six feet square
and are made of tiles six inches square.
In manufacturing these maps the tiles
are made by the ordinary process of
mixing various kinds of clay in liquid
form. After the necessary treatmen
the tiles are nodded, placed in the
kiln and brought to the condition tech
nically known as "bisque." The draw
ing OF the map is reproduced on copper
plates, one plate for each tile, and
impressions are made upon specially
prepared paper. The prints so pre-
pared are transferred to the surface of
the bisque tile and rubbed into it care
fully to cause the oily ink of the pa
per impression to adhere to the tile.
The paper is then removed by damp
ening it with water and rubbing it off,
the ink being left behind without any
danger of injuring the surface Of the
tile or blurring the fineness or the
sharpness of the lines. The tiles are
then sent to the kiln to be hardened
on" after which they are put in kilns
and fired. They are then taken to the
painting-room, where the colors are
put on by hand, after which they are
sent to the enameling kilns. After this
third firing they are ready for "slab-
bing," as the cementing of a design
or pattern in tile work is called.
1t has been suggested that these maps
will prove valuable for use for other
than railroad purposes, particularly in
the schoolroom, great feature of this
style being its durability.

The European Coal Crisis.

Philadelphia Press.
1t has remained for the French AM
bassador to London, Nj. Cambon, to fur
nish new and more or less original reas-
on for the demand in Europe for Amerl'
can coal. The reason is one that need
not give American shippers any concern
regarding the future of American coal con-
tracts with the old country. If existing
conditions in the coal trade of Europe
have stimulated demand for the Ameri
can product under present conditions
they will continue to do so for some time
to come.
After discussing the rise in prices during
the last two years, through which buyers
of English coal everywhere have PAID
something like $3.50, 100000 above the
prices charged prior to the crisis, the
French Ambassador announces that foul
causes which are held responsible for the
increased demand for coal are not in reali
ty those to which the prevalent scarcity
should be charged; these are, the state o.
the mines, the South African war, exces
sive expectation and the ordinary require
nents of trade.
Nj. Calnbon declares, after careful in
vastigation into all the causes assigned
that the real reason for the existing scar
city of coal in Europe is due to the gen
eral increase Of trade and industry, which
has not been accompanied by a CORE
spending increase of output.
Europe generally during the past two
years and half has experienced a com
mercial and industrial revival second only
to that of the United States. There has
been corresponding increase in the de
mand for coal, which has not been sup
piled either by the collieries of England
Germany or France. The consequence
was rise in prices everywhere. Avail
able stocks vanished and the market wai
forced to depend on the daily output Of
the mines, which had the effect of making
the mine owners masters of the situation
They were unequal to the new condition
and crisis was the result.
This condition, according to the dis
tinguished investigator, will continue fol
some time to come. The situation will
continue in its present condition as long
as prosperity continues to prevail in the
industrial centers of Europe. This is en-
tirely independent of industrial situations
in the United States, and the demand fol-
American coal is therefore liable to con.
tinue for an indefinite period.

BAROMETER AND PASTRY.
Heavy Weather Makes the Pie Crust
Heavier Than Clear.

The connection between the barometer
and heavy pastry may not be at onre ap.
parent to everybody, but it is capable of
simple explanation.
In referring to statement that height
above sea level affects the quality of cook.
ing the British Food Journal says the rea-
son of this apparent anomaly is the rarity
of the atmosphere, as indicated by the
barometer. The gases disengaged in the
action of baking powder expand the pas
try much more when the atmosphere pres
sure is low than when the pressure is high,
so that when good cook is transported
from normal conditions to these lofty re-
gions all the pastry froths over the sides
of the cake.tins.
If the pressure Of the atmosphere does
influence the rising of the cake, then in
fine, bright weather all cakes ought to be
heavy, while in wet weather they ought to
be light.

BRYANISM CRUSHED.

The defeat to Organism administered
by the people of the United States on
Tuesday is more crushing than the one Of
1896. That this was wise and happy
result the people will live to see. No
more dangerous man has ever appeared
in the political arena than is William Jen.
nings Bryan. The doctrines he enuncia-
ted and the principles he espoused were
the most corrupting and dangerous any
candidate for the Presidency has dared to
promulgate. Tie very fact that so many
honest and intelligent men became in
fatuated with 3ryan's personality, and be-
came supporters of his monstrous theories
of government, made the necessity for his
defeat more urgent. The masses Of the
people, the business interests of the coun'
try, the advocates Of law and order will
all experience an intense feeling of relief
over the fact that Organism has been
retired, it is to be hoped permanently
from American politics. The conservative
element has been saved from the ruin
which it believed would follow in the
wake of Organism, while the radical forces
of Democracy in the South and elsewhere,
whose platform of principles is summed
up in single plank-"hatred to Repub'
licani.m' has been saved from their des
perste folly.
From the honest, intelligent masses o.
the Ameritsu people there should go up 9
ferven, prayer Of thanks that our country
has been saved from the curse of Bryan
ism. r.
The South, as usual, stands solid fol
ruin. Will we ever live to see the day
when our section will be relieved from the
burden of a corrupt and incapable leader
ship which has dominated our politics fol
more than a quarter of a century?

The Roman Church and Modern Italy
International Monthly.

International Monthly.l
Sin other countries the Church, and es-
pecially the Roman Catholic, is the best
ally of the Conservative elements, both
having as a mutual object the preserva-
ton and protection of the State. Italy,
on the contrary, has in the clericals her
bitterest and most irreconcilable foe, who
on her hearth-stone and in her very midst
are ready to give support to any enemy
attacking her, both abroad and at home,
should it be Republic or Empire, followers
of deposed rulers, or subversive parties.
The attacks are continuous, the Cericals
having at their disposal the strongest or
ganization which has ever existed, employ
ing diplomatists and the press, the pulpit
and all active propaganda with such liber-
ty and protection as can hardly be found
even in countries where the relations be-
tween Church and State are cordial. The
conflict between the Papacy aud Italy con-
tinues ever undated, there being no hope
of reconciliation, either through agree
ment between the two, or an international
convention as in either case the condition
put forward by the Vatican would be the
abandonment of Rome by United Italy,
which is proposition which will not even
bear discussion"
