Startling Figures Show increasing Dis

A Louisville preacher has recently
made the startling assertion that
home life is safer in the dominions
of the ameer of Afghanistan than 1t
is in Kentucky. There are more muir
ders in Louisville with 100000 people
than there are in London with its
100000. There are more murders in
Kentucky with its 100000 people than
in Great Britain with population OF
100000. Finally. there are more
murders in the United States than in
the whole of Europe, with Italy and
Turkey left out and Russia included y
The Nashville American says-and
who can deny-that this statement is
true" The American asseverates that
mo other civilized nation approaches
this in the question of murder, and
those which come nearest to 1t are
such countries as Italy and Turkey,
where the assassin's knife is freely
used and where men allow their anger
and hate and disgraceful passions to
rule their conduct. This nation has
a red record of which it should be
heartily ashamed"

| on some of the questions upon which
the republicans in congress are more
or less divided. such as the tariff. He
thinks that the ship subsidy bill as
presented to the ffty-sixth congress
ought to be modified; he favors the
Nicaraguan canal, but thinks 1t ought
to be purely an American institution,
without IAN English accent in any
syllable of it." He wants the re-en-
actment of the Geary. or Chinese ex-
clusion law; is in favor of the passage
of the river and harbor bill. and gen.
orally believes in liberal legislation and
appropriations.
The speaker is more occupied at
present with members importuning
him about good committee assignments
than anything else. Old members want
to be advanced on committees. and new
members are anxious to get on i'm
portant committees for the purpose of
getting some show. He handles them
all in an easy, suave style. and while
some leave him disappointed. very few
go away angry.

congress came to town and opened

The people who are trying to raise
money for the purpose of erecting a

people of this city contribute. One Of

consequence of the numerous outbreaks

efficient and well-trained police force,
the minister of the interior has re-

courses of lectures and practical drill
for officers and men. During their
training the young men will be used
occasionally for actual service in the

experience in the discharge of their

The president is beginning to be
famous among other things for big
dinner parties. for big lunches and in
general for large and generous hos
pitality. He seldom or never lunches
or dimes alone. and more often his
guests number half dozen. He is an
ideal host.
Mrs. Roosevelt did not receive on
Friday. There is a rumor that these
agreeable afternoons have had to be
given up. The crowd of selfish ego
lists who insist on forcing themselves
upon her privacy and pushing through
the White House doors have obliged
her to refuse to be at home to the
few. Mrs. Harrison solved better, per-
haps, than any other presidents wife
the problem of informan gatherings.
She found special invitations the only
possible means of limiting the number
of her guests. Those who remember
her pleasant little musicales and even
ings in the upstairs apartments al

Iowa. He entered the forty-eighth

the fifty-sixth congress he was elected
speaker of the house. and has just been
reelected by the majority in the fifty
