NEW YORK, May 2.-Thomas A. Edi-

ed for some time on experiments looking
to the production of flexible tubing which
shall render possible the use of COM
pressed air. Such tubing must be able to
resist high preSSureS. Recently such a
tube has been produced in England by
the use of special machinery.
Germany has also found a way to make
similar article. Edison, who has been
a work on the problem at the instance
of capitalists interested in compressed
soon. Just as Edson's attention was
called to this apparatus a man walked in
upon him and laid before him what
seemed to be rod, perhaps two feet ir
length, whose circumference was in spi
raj convolutions, suggesting an elongat

ordinary brass tube which by the en-
ployment of machinery invented in Ger

much to bring about Christian unity. In

JUNE FIFTEENTH.

There is a difference of opinion as
to the date upon which the Territorial
bill must take effect, some holding to
June 14th and others to June 18th. The
proper day is the one which occurs
forty-five days after the signing OF
the bill These must be forty-five full
days but, according to Black on the
Interpretation of Laws, where a stat
ute provides that 1t shall take effect
from and after its passage, in COM
putting the time when it takes effect,
the day of its passage is to be exclud-
ed" Taking out April 30th leaves 81
days in May and IA full days in June
to make the necessary 40 days after,

actment to June 18th.

LONDON SOCIETY.
The Countess of Warwick Says il
Worships Mammon.

LONDON, May 2.-The Countess of
Warwick. once Lady Brooke, has written
and published an article in which she
grills and sears London society She says,
in part: From the day the Queen with
drew from London and from social func-
tons dates the beginning OF the conquest
of society by the merely rich. Mammon
laid siege to the fortress; the outwo ks
fell, one by one, and then the citadel sur
rendered without discretion.
Society aliases itself before people WHO
have no recommendation except their
wealth; whose sole passports to favor are
that they have purchased a mansion in
Mayfair; that they have hired a prima
donna to sing at their parties for fabu-
lous sum. and that they provide a supper
fit for Lucullus and with favors that
have cost a fortune.
Last, but not least, theii invitations
are sent out by needy laJies, whose mo-
tiN es are-well, not exactly not philan-
thropic. This is reducing hospitality to
farce, society to a sham. Such a state
of affairs would not have been possible
twenty years ago. The new condition of
society seems to be gradually resolving
itself into the worship of wealth for
wealth's sake, This mere worship of
We alth brings in its train a lack of re-
finement, a decay of manners, a lessened
sense of responsibility, extravaganza and
vulgar display

The loyalty of the japanese people
shines brightest when an opportunity
is given TO show personal respect to the
Emperor or to some member of his
family. In Europe and America the
birthday of a sovereign or great man
is observed in a perfunctory way, the
people welcoming it chiefly for the re-
Taxation it gives them. Not so in Jap
an. There is a sincerity in every pub
lie function that conveys honor 10 the
Imperial name or to the memory of
some hero, which cannot be mistaken.
Japan reveres its sovereign as if he
we're a god The fact will be apparent
to those who get close to the cere-
monies of today that attend the mar
riage of the Crown Prince. Wherever
Japanese congregate, as in Hawaii, they
will show how genuine is their loyalty
to the throne.

A small item in the current news an
nounces the breaking-off of the nego-
tiation between the United States and
Denmark for the Danish West India
islands. People who have noticed the
desire of the German Emperor to get
these outposts will await further devel-
opments with anxiety. Should Ger
many offer to buy and the United
States forbid the sale on the score of
the Monroe doctrine, a grave situation
would develop. 1t begins to look as if
the Monroe doctrine in these days
when Europe is searching the world
over for spheres of influence, implies a
very large American contract-perhaps
a bigger one, considering the anti
American feeling among the people
safeguarded than many patriotic but
reasoning citizens will care to go on
with.

The Nicaragua Canal bill passed the
Senate last session by large majority
but failed in the House. This session
it passes the House by a large major

of construction will depend upon the
success of the projected deal for land
with Nicaragua and Costa Rica and up
on the abrogation of the Clayton-Bul-

Hon. w. o. Smith has been absent

from savagery, might have done with

Fifteen years ago the New York Sun
said that John d. Rockefeller was the
richest man in America and would be-
come the richest man in the world
Since then his fortune has increased as
only great fortunes invested in profit
able trusts can increase. According to
dispatches Mr.. Rockefeller's dividends
from Standard Oil stock since January
l, 1900, are more than 100000, and
from all oil sources about $24 ,00O, 900
This is an average increase of cash
holdings of about S6,OOO,000 a month
or $200,0 600 day. At that rate the
Standard Oil magnate, if he lives, must
soon become a Millionaire.

POOR ovERWoRKED MEN.

The Burdens That the Republican Party
Would Impose Upon Two Candidates.
Up in the Fifth ward, the republi-
cans are daily realizing the more. that
it is a peculiar commentary both on
the material. and the limitations OF
that material that the party has to
offer there, that one Frank L Robbins
should be SO superior in point OF
qualifications to all others in the ward
that he must be expected to
serve on the board of education, run
for alderman, and hold the positions
of two men at the Rock Island bridge
all at the same time.
And the more the republicans of the
Third ward hear and see of the
candidate whom they are enjoined
to support for alderman. the more
they wonder how it came to
pass that in all the ward this
one Frank Andrews. considering that
he already has a county Office. should
have been selected as the only one tit
to stand for alderman.
