An Englishman travelling in Mary
land had occasion to investigate the
running time of the trains that passed
through the small place where he was
stopping. Carefully searching a time
table, he found apparently that there
would be an express train due at 4
o'clock that afternoon. The English
man was on time with his grip, etc.,
and so was the express train. The in
intending passenger watched 1t ap-
proach and thunder by the station a.
top speed. The traveller was annoyed
and turning to a colored man who
stoop near, remarked: THAT train
didn't stop" mo, SIR" replied the
colored citizen, cheerfully, "didn' ev'l

PUBLIC PARK PROPOSALS.

The plan for a public park on Tan
talus is characteristic of the public
spirit shown by the Hon. Samuel Da-
mon and his constant regard for the
first Legislature OF the Territory can
do nothing that will make its work
more memorable to present and flu
ture generations than the enactmeit:s
o: laws and the appropriation Of funds
that will give this city public park
system appropriate to its present prog
ress. Should this be secured indirect-
ly through the granting of municipal
charter, the city can well afford TO lend
its credit to public park extension.
In connection with this proposal, the
fact comes to the public mind tina the
defunct government of which Mr.. Dl-
mon was a member was party to tl"l-
ing over to private citizens the one
particular spot on Mount Tantalus,
that had for years been carefully tend
ed by the Board Of Agriculture for fu-
ture use as a public park. What part
Mr.. Damon had in the affair is of little
import at the present time. A proper
fulfillment of the park scheme, how
ever. should include a positive effort to
save this land to the people. This is
one of the deals stopped by the Presl-
dents land order 1t is a deal that may
even now be sanctioned by the Presi-
dent acting under the hypnotic influence
OF officials whose regard for HE peo-
pies interests in this instance sas woe
fully lacking.

AN INJUNCTION
Granted Against Telegraph Co.
to Prevent DIsConinuanco
Of Grain Quotations.

Kansas City. Mo-. Aug. S--Judge Hen.
ry, In the circuit court, has granteu the
Christy Street Commission Co, and the
Brokerage Grain Co., both OF this city,
a permanent injunction restraining the
Western Union and Postal Telegraph Cos.
from disseminating the sending of grain
quotations to the complainants
In his decision, Judge Henry held that
"the quotations of the Chicago Board OF
Trade are impressed with a public inter-
est" and the telegraph companies hand
ling such quota tions must deliver them to
commission companies that desire them.
whether they be sent by parties operating
leased lines or to be contained In private
kilograms.
Judge Henry held that being OF a pub
lie nature. these quotations could not be
converted to private use, to the exclusion
of the public: that they had become in
terwoven in the grain and stock trade Of
the entire western and northwestern por-
tions of the United States. and the knowl-
edge of them has become so essential to
dealers in agricultural products that. de-
prived of that information thousanss of
dealers would be compelled TO go out OF
business.
The result would be. the court held. the
conversion by the Chicago Board OF
Trade OF the most gigantic monopoly OF
the world.

RIGHTS,
Queen Victoria Authorizes the
Annexation Of The Orange
Free State.

London Aug. s.-The queens speech at
the proroguing of Parliament after stat
ing that the relations with the Powers
Of Europe and America continue friend
ly, and a reference to the establishment
of the commonwealth OF Australia, re-
fers to the war in South Africa, which
has placed i'm the strongest light the
heroism and high military qualities of
the troops brought together under my
banner from this country. from Canada,
Australia, and my South African posses
sions."
Parliament adjourned today after the
appropriation bill had been passed by
both houses
The speech then says:
believing the continued independence
of the republics to be a constant danger
TO the peace OF South Africa, l authorized
the annexation of the Free State as a first
step to the union of the races under an
institution which may in Tine be devel-
oped so as to secure equal rights and
privileges I'm South Africa"
Referring TO China, the speech says:
The British and other legations at Pc
kin have been unexpectedly attacked by
an insurgent mob and IL is feared many
OF their inmates have been murdered
How far the Chinese authorities are
accomplices I'm this atrocious crime, and
whether the British minister and his fam
lily are among the Victims. are matters
still in some uncertainty. The utmost ef-
forts will be made by myself and my al
lies will visit with punishment, the au-
thors OF this unexampled crime"
The closing hours OF the session In the
House OF Commons were enlivened by the
sharp replies of the secretary OF state
for the colonies, Mr. Joseph Chamberlain,
10 his political critics.
An innovation in the queens speech,
which caused some comment. was the
mentioning Of America specifically. The
speeches from the throne usually allude
to the Powers generally, or to the Euro
pean Powers.

Camp White has sustained the reputa-
ton that section of the east shore ac-
quired long ago. through years OF de-
bauchery and prostitution, with here and
there the sharp punctuation of tragedy.
There have been murders foul and these
have almost invariably resulted from
bacchanalian orgies in which wanton
women figured.
Youth has been led astray by the cup
which intoxicates and the innocents have
been started on the downward path which
with certainty leads to perdition.
Time and again the suggestion has been
made that the east shore should be puri-
fed and there has been no spot which
has needed the moral cleaning broom
than the particular section where, at an
early hour this morning another victim
was offered as a sacrifice on the altar of
lust and greed.
The news of the tragedy did not reach
the compact part of the town OF East
Providence until an hour had elapsed
since the victim was laid low.
Then IL was that Police Sergeant Mum
roe was aroused by an urgent telephone

negotiations for the acquisition OF the
Danish West Indies Germany was anx-

Views of the French Press.

Paris, Nov. 8. - The French press
comments freely upon the result OF
the American election. Says The
Temps: Bryan is beaten, but this
does not mean that Mckinley has tri-
umphed. He had to make himself
small and modest and leave the lead
ing role to Roosevelt. He has assumed
an attitude of neutrality and inertia
regarding the foreign policy, especially
China and the Philippines" The Jour-
ma des Debats says: Our country has
certainly no reason to fear an accentu-
alton of the Americans world policy.
American Imperialism has never ap-
peared dnsirous to don the mask the
English press persisted in offering 1t.
1t has no tendency to become the crea-
ture of the British or any other imper-
ialism. IN this matter as in others
America will act independently, and
our policy has nothing to dread from
the assertion of purely American in
terests.'

The Census returns show some sur
prising facts as regard the reapportion-

or course, no one knows how many
members there will be. Congress set
ties this and then divides the number
selected into the total population OF the
United States. The quotient is the
"basis of representation" and, divided
into the population OF each State, gives
the number Of Representatives allotted
to it. Supposing, however, that Con-
gress decides to keep the total number
as it is, 1t is obvious that some States
will gain and some lose one or more
members. and here is where the SUI
prise comes in. Colorado, Texas, Illi-
nois, Minnesota, Louisiana, West
Virginia, New Jersey and New York
will each gain a member. while Ohio,
Indiana. Kansas, Kentucky, South
Carolina, Virginia and Maiue will each
lose one. That is, the south and the
far west will each lose one. while the
east and the center will each gain one.
