-uW LIFE IN NAPLES.
naunfs of the Thieves Where Crime

Is Bred.
 The haunts of the beggars of Naples are also usually the baunts of thieves kept by some woman, who trades on the vice and misery of her felloW-crea. lures says the Gentleman's Magazine. There the miserable wretches slee2 by night and assemble by day, teaching children to pick pockets and beg. Thence every morning the blind, the lame and the aged set forth on their rounds fin the city. A false monk sets out to visit certain families and shops On certain days, giving numbers 10 the lottery and receiving aims. An Cid woman departs with her pocke4 fall o1 gweetmeats, with which she decoys little children into some deserted e2r- nerz and robs them of earrings or artl. eies of clothing. Others reb the aims boxes hung up in churches or in front of shrfnes on the roads. These kneel before the images in fictitious devotion, beating their breasts with one hand. while with the other they fish for the money with thin suck sneaFed WIth bird-lime, which they insert in the small oval aperture of the box, draw. ing out the coins one at 3 time. One member of the criminal class, got ID as a gentleman of fortune, used to frequent the public billiard saloons. where he soon made friendships with the aristocratic players. attracting them with his charming, ingenious smile bright blue eyes, and delightful tenor voice, and was often even in- vited to his friends houses and intro- duced to their families. He was no thief: his bEl ness was to inform his criminal associates of the financial state of the families he visited. thus enabling them to make plots of rob. bery of gambling.

other Tlnts Are Sometimes Found
 Among Ceylon Gems.
 "It is commonly believed that the sapphire is known only as 9 gem of a itch velvety blue in color," observed an experienced dealer in precious stones to the writer the other day. As matter of fact, the sapphire occurs in various hues. In Ceylon, for in stance, where the finest specimens of this gem are found, it ranges from the soft yelyety blue to the peacock blue, graduated in the latter to an almost faultless white. It also occurs in whites, greens and yellows, the latter shade being known as the oriental to- paz and the green the oriental emerald. The white sapphires are often found clouded or streaked with blue, so that many specimens are cut which are white when looked at transyersely. but having bit of fine blue tint ou the under point Then there is the red sapphire, or Ceylon ruby. It is valued as highly as the finest Burmese rubies These most highly prized are of rich pigeon blood or rose-reo color. Some very fine sapphires have been found in Montana during the pest ten years The American gems are light blue blue-green, green and pink, but the deep blue and red stones, which are chiefly in demand as jewels, have so far never been discovered in any part af this countr~ "-Washington Star

ST. JOHN AT HOME.

Following is portion of private letter re-
ceived by citizen of Garrett, which shows
that the people of Johnson county are for him
for congress:
The matter of selecting fusion
candidate for congress in the Second congress
sional district this year is, to my mind mat
ter of very great importance. 1t is not so much
a question Of which party shall have the can
didate as in selecting good, strong, clean man
for the place. We have such a man in this
county in the person of Ex-Governor St. John.
He is right on all questions of the day which
are generally accepted by fusion voters. He is
an able, eloquent and fearless campaigner, and
will make red-hot canvass, if non mated. He
will be help to our state ticket, and, from his
national reputation, will be of great service to
Bryan. He will be stronger before the people
of this district than any other man we can NOM
mate, in my judgment, and if elected, the
Second congressional district of Kansas will be
heard from.
Governor St. John has not solicited this NOM
ination, because he believes in the old Populist
doctrine, that ''the office should seek the man"

A president is bastard king, with all of
kings meanness and none of his responsibility.
1t is an internal shame that Americans are
not capable of sef-government. They are only
capable of cowardly submission to the fouest

stroyed humanity. No people in the history of
the world were ever degraded and destroyed as
rapidly as the American people are being de-
graded and destroyed.

You remember, don't you, what howl went
up from the Republican press all over the state
when the Republican members of our suprt me
court declared the railroad law enacted by the
Populists at the Special session of 1898 uncon-
sttutional? The judges said it wouldn't do at
all, because it conferred upon the court of Wis
itation both legislative and judicial powers,
And the Republican rooteIs all said the Popu-
lists were all fools not to know that such law
wouldn't be good. That same law made the
members of this court elective, instead of al
lowing them to be appointed by the governor
or executive council Well, when the Repub-
licanS came to meet in state convention and
adopt PLATFORM what do you suppose they
did? Why, for one thing they endorsed one of
those fool "Pop ideas" by recommending
law providing for the election of board of
railroad commissioners "by the people, This
wasn's all, though. They asked for the re-es-
Enlistment of the board with such additional
powers as shall render their work effective, aud
with power to FIX AND ENFORCE just rates.
Note the words. The power to "iX'' rates is
legislative; the power to "enforce' is judicial
or administrative. So it seems that the best
our Republican friends can do is to demand
repetition of the called "blunder' of the
PoDulists and the creation of DO ard which not
only has power to make rates, but also to enforce
them. The Republican party of Kansas is roll
ing along behind the Populsts at a very salts

THE Chicago Times Herald (Rep.), Judge
Kohlsaat's paper, in long and vigorous edit
orial, denounces Boss Plat, of New York, for
his action in forcing the nomination of Roose-
welt for vice president, and says it was mis-
take; that the nomination will lose New York,
and the Republicans will have to win i'll the
states that went for Bryan in go electors sufh-
cient to offset those OF New York. The editor
of the Times Herald takes a very gloomy view
of the situation. 1t says Plat was determined
that Roosevelt should not be reelected governor
of New York; that had Roosevelt succeeded in
evading vice presidential lightning and captured
the gubernatorial nomination again, Plat would
heve worked tor the Democratic nominse. In
the language of the Times Herald, New York
is safely Democratic this year.

hearty, but it was not whisper compared with
that which occurred when Bryan was nominal

crowded with dancers, and as they
wound in and out. passing and re-
passing, keeping time to the music
of Gibbs orchestra, the charming
gowns, the pretty flowers and ami
mated countenances made scene
of brilliancy and happy charm al
