NO LEPERS NEED APPLY.

The appearance of a supposed leper,
who came as a passenger on the China,
Is due to the advice of a Board of
Health doctor in San Francisco.
Whether this act means an entering
wedge for the California plan of send
ing American lepers to Molokai re-
mains to be seen. The leper who came
here says he has been cured and wants
to go to the settlement on Molokai to
cure others. This is a laudable ambi-
ton providing the story is true; but
until the Hawaii board examines the
man we shall have to reserve judgment
on that qualifying point.
In the event that the stranger Is still
the victim of the active plague it is
the duty of the Board of Health to ship
him back to the Coast forthwith. No
State has the right to send agencies Of
plague into another State or Territory;
every State or Territory has the right
to quarantine against such agencies.
Unless Congress specifically sets por-
ton of these Islands apart as a Federal
leper colony, our Board Of Health is
as much entitled to turn people back
who come here suffering from that con-
tagious or infectious disease as Texas
was to quarantine against California
last summer or as California was to
quarantine against Hawaii ten months
ago. The right Is one which, no doubt,
will be exercised IL an occasion for ii
comes.
We cannot state, in too strong terms,
the objection Hawaii has to becoming
a refuge for nonresident lepers. BY the
process of segregation and good care
we are now getting the better of the
scaly plague and IL things are left as
they are the time will come when Ha-
waiian leprosy will be no more. There

Colorado has now attained the same
bad eminence as Texas and Louisiana
in the matter of burning negro rape
fiends at the stake. The details of the
Western horror are too sickening to
print and the Advertiser left the most
of them out of its columns. Enough
were published. however, to show how
far American civilization still accords
with the inhumanities of savage tribes
and to suggest the need of stringent
legislation with a capital penalty
against lynchers.

GLOBE SIGHTS.

Misreoresenting and exaggerating are simply lying.
 Any man worthy of it can get credit. This rule never fails.
 After a man has told a woman he loves her, she becomes his Nemesis for
 the rest of time.
 An Atchison girls illness Is said to be
 due to a lover giving her the stony heart three years ago. A woman cannot claim that her lifn is monotonous if she has never been driven for social relaxation to a church social.
 Did you ever notice the soft, pleading
 voice women use over a telephone?
 And did you ever compare it with the voices they use around home? 4 professional visitor from another town recently appeared at a South Atch- | ison home. and the woman of the house discharged her cook and put the visitor to work.
 A great deal is said about the noto-
 rious lack of moral courags in men.
 The women are nearly as bad. When woman Is carrying a package of dry goods, and goes into a rival store, she
 nearly always hides it.
 The gossips have been reporting that
 an Atchison man beat his wife in the
 night. They had heard the beating but
 had rot heard the brave woman make
 any moan. Friends invesIigltal tho
 story and fnund that the beating was the sound rnade by ttia m., sldppin :; at mos | Cts.
 When joke is spruLS upon an Atch- isOn person, and he fails to sec it, he is called Mrs. Blank. Mrs. Biark is an Atchison woman who never sees joke. Bores who like to tell jokes lra steered up against Mrs. Blank in Atchison. in order that they may become Giscour- aged good and early. AtchlsOn claims the champion woman talker of the world. There are other
 women takers in Atchison who are good, but they all run up against the champion and pale into Insigniicancc. No difference what subject comes up. the AtchisOn champion is jn it. If some one ventures the remark that it | is a pleasant day, the Atchison cham pion is in it before any one can speak on the subject of pleas ant days. She does net talk aimlessly along. She begins by giving diagram of her subject, and
 no one is supposed to break in until
 she has finished. Then comes the story. and, in addition to the straight tale, she runs in little side anecdotes, and the subject of pleasant days lasts all the way from one to ten hOurs.-Atch- | ison Globe.

JUSTIN MCCARTHY RETIREs.

Justin Mccarthy, M. P, who a few days ago announced his determination to retire from active politics, was born in Cork in 1S30 and after receiving an excellent education in his native is land, joined the staff of a Liverpool paper in 1853. Seven years later he be- came parliamentary reporter for the morning Star and almost immediately was advanced to the post Of foreign ed itor. In 1864 he was advanced to the position of chief editor. place from which he resigned in 1863 He then came to America and visited 8 of the states, meeting the most prominent men in the country. He has contribut- ed many articles to the leading English and American magazines.
 MT. Mccarthy has written about a score of novels, several volumes of crit ical and biographical essays, and a few historical works. His fame as an au- thor mostly depends of1 his History of Our Own Times" which is a graceful review of the principal events which occurred in England, Ireland and Scotland from the accession to the re cent jubilee of Queen Victoria. He has also written a History of the Four Georges and "The Epoch of Refopm, D the latter short history of the period between 1890 and 1850.
 Although he has sat in parliament for q years, and was elected leader of the Irish party after the death of Charles stewart Parrell, Mr. Mccarthy has achieved no great reputation as a statesman. He represents the county of Longford in the house of commons. He has written some strong political editorials for London papers He is of mild, genial and engaging tempera- ment. more adapted to the quiet or the study than to the hustle of political life.

SPLENDID GIFT FOR DUBLIN

Lord Iveagh, the chief of the great Guinness brewery. has from time to time made some splendid gifts to Dublin
 but the greatest of all is that of carry
 ing out the scheme of acquiring the Bull alley district-one of the worst slums-clearing it, and building on the
 site up to date worllmen's dwellings. It is estimated that the development of this magnificent scheme will cost his lordship It least quarter of a mil lion pounds. The area of the Bull alley district is about three and one-half acres, and, not content with this, he is also acquiring, in addition, an extensive area in Francis stree, for the purposa of erecting thereon a market in which vendors of old clothes and hawkers of various descriptions of food can carry on their business without being exposed to the inclemency of the weather and other inconveniences.-The New World.

MISTOOK A BURGLAR.

The residence of J. Wood Hannold, near Woodbury. was visited by burg far early yesterday morning, and that tne fellow escaped is due largely to a peculiar mistake.
 Mir. Hannold is one of the best known farmers in this section. and he and his sons. Harvey and Charley, are as sturdy and muscular as any trio in this vicinity. Charley occasionally walks in his sleep and the burglar owes his lib erty to this fact.
 It was shortly after midnight that the family was aroused by the barking of the dogs. Mir. Hdnnold succeeded in quieting them, but shortly after :; o'clock Harvey was awakened from a sound slfep. He heard a noise and a m~ment later could distinguish the form of man in his room. The fellow walked toward the closet at the bed side, and Harvey, supposirg it was his brother walking in his sleep, said Charley. is that you?' He got no re- sponge until he took hold of the fel- lows arm and repeated the question. and the burglar answered Yes.
 The figure then retreated toward the door, and Harvey, all unconscious that his room mate was a burglar, got out of

A WONDERFUL CLOCK

Messrs. William Potts & Sons, the well known clock makers Of Leeds, England, have just constructed for that city what is claimed to be the greatest horo- logical achievement of the century. The clock is q huge one, and in 1t are combined many features of the most remarkable clocks in the world. such as those at BeTne and Strasourg cathedral.
 The hugh clock dial, which is of pol ished copper. is fanked upon either side by mailed knight, each holding above his head a battle-ax which serves 10 strike the gongs at the quarters and hours. Above the clock on a kind of perch stands a large cockerel. In front of the dial is a platform.
 When the quarters of the hour are reached, the mail-clad knights strike their gongs. Immediately on the left hand side door opens automatically. and there issues forth a British sol dier in full uniform. When he reaches the center of the platform he halts and salutes in precise military manner. he then passes on to the left and is fol- lowed by a knighted Highlander who repeats a similar performance when he reaches the middle of the platform. then comes an Irishman in the old dress of his country, brandishirg a siIil- lelah; then a Canadian boatman with his paddle. and, finally. a HindOo. wearing his turban and lion cloth. When the figures have passed round the platform they disappear from sight through another door. which closes au- toma'ically upon the last figures exit. Then the clockbird overhead flaps it's wings. raises it's head and gives three lusty crows. The figures are manufac- tured of copper bronze, while many of the other parts of the clock are con- structed from gun metal, The escape ment is the double three-legged gray fty by Lord Grimthrope, who is probab- 1y the greatest living authority on clocks and bells.-Scientific American.

SMALLEST INCORPORATED CITY

When the twelfth census returns ara all in they will probably show that Midway. in Houston county, Tenn. IS the smallest incorporated city in the United States. There is considerable rivalry among other cities as to which will show the largest number of resi- dents, but little Midway. nestled among the sunny hills of Tennessee. has sat hack and enjoyed her distinction und.s- turbed and unopposed. Only a few years old, she has had a history that is seldom net with in the annals of municipal corporations
 Midway came into existence more as a necessity than from any desire for municipal improvement, and it's object having failed, it, as another necessity, remains city.
 In Tennessee there is a law known as the "four-mile law" which prohibits the selling of whiskey within a distance of four miles of a school house except in an incorporated town. That is why Midway. exists. Houston county is only twenty-five or thirty miles from the borders of Kentucky, and the ab- horrence of water is almost as great in that section as in the blue grass s tate. Men felt that they could not live with out their morning today and occasional bracer during the day. Riding to Clarksville, twenty mics away, every time the thirst was aggravated was out of the question.
 The idea of a municipality, designed solely to avoid the stringent terms of the school law emanated from a con- ference between J. w. Roberts and H. C. Frost. A pretty spot on the banks of a silvery brook was selected. A sa- loon was built and two or three fam flies were induced to swell the popula- tion until the city numbered seventy five inhabitants with the legal voters. No taxes were levied and the citizens were made as happy as possible. Things ran smoothly for some time, the saloon supplying drinks to the farmers for miles around and making plenty of money. But an evil day came at last. Dissensions and quarrels broke out in the city council and a municipal scan dal resulted. The women and better citizens of Houston county did not fa- vOr the existence of Midway. The leg islature was urged to pass an act ex- tending the -four mile law to all towns under 2,OOO population. That was death blow to Midway The sale of whiskey was stopped in Midway. which, however, continued to be an in corporated town, and as such still eX- ists. The population now numbers about fifty.-Denver Post.

The one supreme test of prosperity is the money in the bank. It is tangible
 and can be counted. A
 THE few days ago the Leav-
 PEOPLE enworth Times pub HAVE PROS Iished some remarkable
 TERED. figures showing how the
 deposits in Kansas banks have doubled in four years Kansas has been more prosperous than most of the other states, but the whole country shows a remarkable develop ment.
 It is self-evident that if a mans fam fly is well clothed and fed sand in a comfortable home, the children receiv- ing good education, and many of the luxuries of life being enjoyed, and if be- sides this, he can put money in the bank. this condition of things means prosperity. In the unparalleled show ing of the increase in the bank depos- its from the dark days of the demo- . cratic Wilson bill regime in 1894 to the glorious days of Mckinley prosperity, the most marvellous feature is the in creased number of depositors and the augmented amount of deposits in the savings banks of the country.
 Bryan denies that the people are prosperous. So do all his calamity fol- lowers. But the official figures from the report of the comptroller of the currency of the United States for 1899 refute them.
 The total number of depositors in banks increased from 5.545,S67 in 1894. to 1855. .414 in 1899-an increase of 2.1O9.- BAY. The depositors in savings banks increased from 3,413,477 In 1894 to 5,6S7,- SIS in 1899. Statisticans assign five members to an average family, all the world over. That would give 15.OOO. 900 families to the United States. As a rule probably only one in a family de- posits in the bank. So more than half of the families in the United States have now deposit accounts in banks, whereas in 1894 only about one third of the families had deposit accounts
 The total amount of deposits in 1899 was s4,60S,0s6, Oo5 and in 1894, $2,S74, ,5S9, .
