KANSAS CRY, July 8.-The vice pres
idential situation has not cleared up
and II il: apparently in a. much doubt
q it was when the delegates to the ma
tional Democratic convention were
elected. There was q shifting Of
scenery during the day when Ben
Shively was taken out Of the race BY
the Indiana delegation. Not only the
Indiana men but other delegates in the
city accepted the statement Of Mr..
shively and he is not now considered 9
probability in the race. AZ the contest
stands after shively's retirement the
two leading candidates seem to be
Charles A. Towne and William Sulzer,
with some man from New York, like
Judge Van Wyck or Elliott Danforth,
as a possibility under certain contin-
gencies. >. :. <@ se33. = :. a !: Il
The fact is that the vice presidential
situation is interviewer with the, plat
form. If there is simple reafarma.
ton of the Chicago platform some New
York man may be selected for vice
president in the hope that he may assist
in carrying that state. # there is a
specific declaration. for 16 to i then
Towne may be Bryan's running mate.
It is pointed out as not quite conceiva-
bic that convention which would re-
fuse to make a specific declaration for
s16 to I with view of carrying some Of
the Eastern states would nominate
1Towne, who left the Republican party
solely on the ground Of his attachment
to silver. It is conceded by all the lead
ers that Towne' s strength is in the West
and on silver platform and that he
would not be strong in the East on q
modified platform. While it is not q
certainty that Towne would be NOM
mated even if there was g specific IL to
u declaration il ID generally believed his
chances would be greatly improved BY
such action, and his friends are making
every effortsto bring about that result

Our School Exhibit In Paris.

One OF the most remarkable and In
some respects the most valuable of ex-
hibits of the United States at the Paris
exposition is q series Of monographs
published by the state of New York
describing Education in the United
States" in the closing year Of the nine
teenth century. The introduction, by
Professor Butler of Columbia universi-
ty, Is printed In the current Issue Of
The Educational Review and gives a
very striking and informing summary
Of the contents of the two large vol
umes.
What will probably be most Impress
I've for foreign students Of our schools
will be first the total absence of any
central control or direct Initiative and
second the enormous results that have
been attained by n system wholly de-
centralized, in many ways crude and
extremely heterogeneous. AS to the
schooling Of it's seventy odd millions OF
citizens, the government of the United
States has not word to shy in the line
of definition or regulation, but it has
been from the earliest days Of its ex-
istence generous to the verge of lavish
ness In it's gifts of means for that
schooling. A low estimate of the value
Of these gifts, mainly in land, puts it Mt
$500, OOO, 900, while the land thus grant
ed is about 1885, 900 square miles, or an
area equal to tint of Prussia Or to that
Of the United Kingdom with Holland
added.
One result of this spirit Of encourage
ment on the one hand and of entire
freedom on tho other has been the
greatest possible variation in the kind
and in the extent Of schooling in the
several states The total number of
pupils taught is very large. The cen
sus rates as Of "school age" all be-
tween and IS years old, and the total
Is 21,5OOOOO in round numbers. OF
these 100000. or fully 70 per cent,
are registered In the public or common
schools. The figures are impressive.
The provision Of teachers and housing
10 not less so. The total number of
teachers, is 4Oo.19S. of whom rather
more than two-thirds are women, while
the number Of buildings is 242,3 800. Of a
total value Of some $5OO,OOOOOO. The
average monthly pay Of teachers II for
men $48.16 md for women $38.74.
which Is Is per cent higher In the rural
districts and SO per cent higher In cities
than the pay received 10 years ago.

The average afternoon or pink tea
has usually been regarded as some
what monotonous form of entertain
ment, utterly devoid Of exciting inter.
est. A Chicago woman has introduced
an innovation which gives an element
Of variety and novelty which society
people sometimes go so far to seek. 1t
appears that she invited a dozen or
more Of her set to drink tea with her
on recent Friday afternoon. Before
their arrival she took the strange pre-
caution to conceal her purse under the
pillow. In her bedroom. The first of
the women who were invited arrived
shortly before 2 o'clock, and shortly
afterward the revelry was at it's height.
IN the midst of the fun the hostess, like
a prudent woman, went in to see II her
purse was still safe. She found 1t miss
ing. Forthwith she slipped quietly out
OF the back door, leaving her tea party
engrossed In the mysteries Of third

turned accompanied by couple Of de-
termined looking detectives from an
adjacent police station. Immediately
the whist tables were deserted, and the
novel game Of purse, purse, who's
got the purseY' was introduced. One
Of the guests was arrested with the
purse on her person, and the others
fed. vowing that they didn't like the
game OF course the woman arrested
easily proved her innocence on the
ground Of kleptomania. Though pos
sessing the charm of novelty and
uniqueness, it Is questionable whether
this innovation will meet the approval
Of polite society. &C., - -.

The Hero Of N1afekin9.

All England may well do honor to
Baden-P Powell, the hero Of Mafeking.
So may all the world for that matter.
Rarely has war produced more hero

character than he. Not only did Colo

consummate bravery the frequent and
fierce onslaughts Of an enemy greatly
superior in numbers, but the lightness
OF heart with which the defense was
conducted attracts especial attention.
The defense Of Ladysmith was char
acterized by many notably sad and pa
thetic incidents, and that Of Kimberley
was marred by friction between the
army and the local authorities. but
SMafeking seemed unanimous in covering
Its many months Of danger and discom-

settlement cheerfully accepted the stu
alton, uncomplainingly endured the
harIlships and privations and took
their scant rations of mule sausage and
3oat husks without murmur. The
chaerfulness which characterized the
Siege was almost wholly due to the
pluck, the resourcefulness and the
boundless good nature of the COM
mander.
~ Baden Powell is a thoroughbred, and
his cleverness in relieving the grim trag-
5edy Of the siege by providing amuse-
ments for the town, by his witty com
munications to the Boer commanders
and his issue of paper currency and
postage stamps was characteristic of
the man who could play and fight at
the same time and was all the better
fighter because of his playfulness.
Hats off to the cheerful but not less
courageous hero Of Matching!

THE DAIRY TYPE COW.
instructive Figures Taken from the
Averages of n Large Herd for
Series of Years.

Careful experiments show that the
dairy type of cow yields on an average
$500 pounds OF milk yearly, while the
COW with be.f heredity and tendency
yields $500 pounds under similar condi-
tions, says the Farm. Stock and Home.
w hen milk brings a dollar Il hundred,
as is now the case the net income from
the butter from the dairy COW, whose
milk averages four per cent. fat, is S45,
while that from the cow of beef type
and whose milk only averages 35 per
cent. fat. is only S27. The feeding value
of the skim milk giving four per cent.
butter is worth one-sevcnth more per
pound than is the milk containing IS
per cent. Adding the actual value of
the skim milk of each cow to the net re-
turns for butter. we get from the dairy
COW $50 and from the other $33. These
figures are taken from averages of a
herd for serieL Of years and under the
most favorable conditions. Another
very important result should be noted
in this connection, and that is that the
cows having a flesh forming tendency
remain useful in the herd for only half
as long as do the dairy type COWS. and
that the former are more apt to con-
tract disease than is the spare COW.
