By the recent city election a politi-
cal ring has been broken, a ring whose
existence has certainly not been fol
the interests of the city. Mr.. Her.
sey has been seated in the mayors
chair and heavy burdens rest upon his
shoulders. Some, but it is feared not
| all, of the voters realize the magnitude
of the task laid out for the City
Fathers to accomplish during the COM
ing year. In the first place the city
lsin debt to the amount of 1886, 1929
and many improvements are necessary
and should be made. AS has often
been said, it has been a question be-
tween purchases. A certain policy
vas adopted and the results must be
felt sometime, that time has arrived
when the mountain of debt has reach
ed almost to the limit. Every citizen
is privileged to critcise, but in doing
so let him look to the past first, and
if he does not find the fault lying
there, it will be time to look for an
other source, in the present.
One more word in regard to politi-
cal rings. One has been broken: let
not another be formed on either
side. The TELEGRAM is confident
that Mayor Hersey realizes the i'm
p~ortance of this matter and is also
confident that he is able and disposed
to act for the interests Of the people
unhampered by the influence of any
ring, clique, or faction.

SnaRef DIeE

Baltimore News: The remarkable longevity of the Shakers is claimed by them to be due entirely to the self enforced rule of regular sleeping hours and meals, the kind of clothing worn, the manual occupation and the food partaken of at the settlement. The most of the Shakers are enthusiastic vegetarians Contrary to the opinion of many food authorities, they con- sider tomatoes as exceptionally health full. They use them for breakfast, din ner and supper all through the tomato season, while the Lebanon Shakers put 1p about 400 gallons for their own use every winter As these Shakers have not had a case of fever in the family for thirty years, have almost no other sickness, and scarcely ever a doctor, it looks as though their diet agreed with them. Another vegetable that they especially prize is celery, which they think is also a staple article of diet, served baked, in warm sauce or even in pies and puddings

distributing Revenue Stamps.

Washington special Chicago Jour nal: The work of distributing the mii~ lions of internal revenue stamps over the country is performed in two ways They are bought by private individuals in $1000 lots, to be retailed by them at the profit of per cent permitted by the law, The other way is by special stamp commissioners appointed and paid by the revenue department
 About 300 such agents are maintained in the principal business centers throughout the country. Commissioner Wilson says larger commission should be allowed for distributing the stamps. Banks are quite unanimous in refusing to handle them, and the force of special stamp distributors has had to be greatly increased. The eom- mission at one time was , per cent, and finally it was cut down to 1 per cent.

tends Even to the Cemetery.
 Huddersfeld. a city of Yorkshire, England, is perhaps the best illustra- tion of city governed on soeiaHsdc ideas to be found anywhere in the world. Every municipal monopoly is operated for the benefit of tho citizens gas, street cars. waterworks, electric lighting, markets, abattoirs. sanitari- ums, lodging houses and even the cemetery. AS to gas, all exchange gives these particulars: Tn 1872 the gas works were taken over, the ob- ject being to reduce the price of gas and increase it's use by the poorer classes. To this end the department Introduced penny-in-the-slot meters, which have been so well received that about one-ffth Of the population is now supplied in this way. When the meter is used stove is supplied and fixed free Of charge. Not one penny need be invested, except for the thirty feet of gas sold for ? cents. This is 8 great boon to the poor, who find it difficult to save enough to purchase fittings outright. Stoves alone may be returned at 10 per cent of cost price per year, and the department has it's cWn stores containing styles to suit the poorest or the most fastidious. The price of gas has been steadily reduced sssQsil now 1t is ? shillings 3 pence (6G ceats) for lighting and ? shillings (49 eents) for heating and trade purposes. Indea, the city has been so #eonsiderate of public welfare in every way that practically the whole population con- sumes municipal gas"
 Electricity is supplied in much the same way, and throughout the princi pal of monopolization is carried into effect wherever practicable and possi- ble. As everybody seems to be satis- fed with the results obtained, Hud- dersfefild fay properly claim to be the model socialistic town.

How Quickly We Can Think.

Prof Riehet, in his lecture on Nerve Vibrations,' said that the rate of transmission of nerve impulses could not be more than ten or twelve times a second. Prof. Richet states that if one tried to think set of words in succession he could never pass that speed, and could not receive a more rapid succession of sensations on the same organ. This period, then, might be called the psychological unit of time" If the rapidity were greater, sound, electricity, and light would be perceived as independent undulations not continuous sensations; were 1t slower, one would see the motion of the hour hand of a watch and the growth Of a tree.

London, August 9.-(Sunday)-What
ever of interest may attach to the events
reported in the nights dispatches is de-
stroyed by the capture of Pekin, as most
of the messages relate to matters pre-
cedng and leading UP to the capture of
the Chinese capital. General Linevitch,
commander of the Russian troops in
Pechili, reports to ST. Petersburg that
on August 18th the Chinese intended to
give battle at Che Sin, where were con-
centrated fifty battalions of the best
Manchu troops, commanded by General
Tung Fuh Slang, but that losing cour
age, they retreated hurriedly, not wait
ing for an attack to be made.
The eyes of the world, which have
been fixed heretofore on Pekin, are turn
ing to Shanghai, where an imbroglio re-
sulting from the jealousy and suspicion
of the powers will possibly shortly assume
a serious aspect. The British landed
Gurkas and Bombay regiments on Friday
and France is hurrying 100 TOnGGin
troops thither, some of whom are report
ed to have arrived already.
The situation in the Valley of the Yang
Use Kiang, at WI Chang, is serious.
Chang Chi lungs troops mutinied, but
the outbreak was quelled.
Russa's campaign in Manchuria seems
to be progressing satisfactorily, Cen
eral Orloff chief of staff, of the Russian
forces in China, reports on August 14th
that he attacked the Chinese at Medu
Chef on August 18th and subsequently
advanced to va Shi and captured an
abundance of stores. The Chinese are
said to be gathering in force in the
neighborhood of Kobo. from which place
the Russian and Tartar residents have
departed.

Washington, Aug 1S.-Washington to-

1,400 Cuban school teachers who have
been visiting this country to observe
American educational methods. They
were received at the White House this
afternoon, inspected the Congressional
Library later in the day and were enter
tanned this evening at Glen Echo,

have no plans up to their departure from
the city about noon.
After the party had taken lunch they
were marched as a body to the White
House There they were formally pre-
scented to President and Mrs. Mckinley
at 80 o'clock. The marine band was in
attendance and dispensed patriotic airs.
Each guest was introduced by name by
Juan Enrique Macins, a local Cuban.
Each of the visitors had word of greet
ing already prepared: How do you

White House the party gathered on the

General Cisneros, Ex-President of Cuba,
an idol of patriotic Cubans, was discover

ensued. Women frantic with joy, threw
their arms around the old soldiers neck
and men tossed their hats in the air.
Thenthe crowd embarked on the electric

there, amid decorations representing the
Cuban and American colors, there was "a
patriotic concert. President H. b. f. Mac

CONFERENCE AT WASHINGTON.
Tho Situation at Shanghai is Discussed by the
Officials.
(By the Associated Press


Washington, Aug. 18.-The Government
now fully satisfied by the advices in
hand that the Internal ional troops have
entered Pekin and that the legations are
saved, is calmly awaiting detailed state
ments from its own officers on the
ground. Dispatches were received today
from General Barry, at Che Foo and
Consul General Goodnow, at Shanghai
repeating the main fact of the capture
and relief. Neither General Chaffee nor
Admiral Remey was heard from however,
and it is to them, particularly to the
American Commander at PeHin, that the
Government looks for advices not only
on what has occurred, but on the local
developments from which an intelligent
determination can be made of what still
remains to be done.
The President, Secretary Root Acting
Secretary of State Adee, Acting Secre-
tary of the Navy Hackett and other Of
ficials were in conference curing the af-
ternoon. 1t was stated afterward that
no additional details had come concerning
Pekin, and it was understood that the
conference had to do particularly with
the situation at Shanghai. Word reach
ed the Navy Department during the af
ternoon that the United States cruiser
New Orleans had reached Shang
hal, at which point British war
ships and transports are al
ready in force, while the French,
Russians and Germans are hurrying their
men to the same destination The Amer
lean Government so far has kept quite
out CT this ENHANCEMENT, and in view of
the reported landing of troops by some
of the powers it was stated authorita-
lively that the landing of American
troops never had been contemplated.
Although the officials declined to give
out any specific information, it was I'M
derstood generally that The Government
was in possession of word that the land
ing of the British forces had occurred to-
day and it was probable that this would
be followed by the landing of German and
French troops. AS these several forces
had as the ostensible purpose of their
landing the maintenance of peace and
order it is not assumed to be likely that
any disorder can arise out of the course
pursued. AS a result of the conferences
held today, it is believed that a dispatch
was forwarded to the commander of the
New Orleans, advising him of the course
to be pursued.
The general situation at Shanghai
caused by the proposed landing of British
