The whole question of the remunera-

especially in Berlin, is beginning to de-
mand serious attention, says the Lon

Irish judges would be amazed if they
were infor med of the miserable salaries

leagues receive for labors which in
many cases are far more exaeting than
their own. In the days when Prussia
was a small agricultural state and the
standard of life in the towns was low,
such salaries. combined with the honor
of being a Prussian official. may have

of the position is the ouly attraction.

BLACK AND TAN.

in shape and size much clpser than they
did in color; but they were close pair

to enable him TO get the shoes thus
mated up in color; not much WAS re-

Clearly the man with the shoes was
pleased Despite his seeming lack of
pecuniary resources, as evidenced not
alone by his odd shoes but by various
other corroborative indiea lions about
him, he was not an uncheerful person,
but the receipt of the money made him
more cheerful still. As to whether he

SPARROW COMMITS SUICIDE.
GpAeR OvaR ItA Dead Mate Causes
IL DIVA Death by Ex-

Two English sparrows were found
dead side by side in a field, near Smith
Pond, Cherry Valley, Mass, by party
of gunners. One of the birds had been
dead for some time, but the other ex-
PRED while the hunters were within
eyesight, and the men say it was case
of suicide, reports the New York Sum-
The attention of the men was first at
tracted by the distressing cries of the
second bird which was on the shore of
the pond. The men drew nearer and
watched. The sparrow was seen to put
its head under water and allow it to
remain there for time. 1t repeated
this ducking several times at short in
tervals.
The last time the sparrow's head re-
manned under water longer than before
and the men drew closer, only to find
that the bird had hoped to the side of
its mate and lay there expiring The
hunters said il was n clear case of sui
eide. They are men of wide experience
in field and forest. and in all their trips
they said they had never seen a bird
show such attachment as was disclosed
by the sparrow which died of its own
desire.

A wo1cer.t.l olfcr to Women.

We have received word OF q most remark
able offer which is to be made to women by
The Delineator Of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins a
new century, The Deiineator offers to distri-
butte ST. 500 among 1901 women. The plan
is SO clevery arranged that q woman living in
n small town or village, has just as good
chance to win one of these 1901 prizes as
woman living in city-becaIse tie prizes
arc given for the number OF subscriptions
secured IN town in proportion to the popu-
lation OF Tia. town, instead of being given
simply TO those who send the largest list of
subscribers-which, of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
of the plan is that all the cities and towns of
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes The cities of the
greatest population are grouped in Class |,
and as these cities are not very many the
prizes offered are twenty.eight the high
est prize being $500, and tho lowest SIS. 90.
The total amount OF prizes given away in this
class is s 900 The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into SIX other classes, and as
the number of towns in a class increases. be-
cause, OF course, there are more small towns
than large ones, tho amount of prizes given
away to class increases, so that in Class T.
there will be $4,000 distributed among COL
winners.
Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win
one OF the 1901 prizes there will be paid an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in.
hnbitants OF the town from which the con-
tcstant sends them.
This is altogether very liberal offer, and
one which the famous old Deiineator is we'll
able to make good. From our point of view,
we do not SEQ why such an offer needs to be
made by the Publishers of The Deli,aeator, for
We believe it already has nearly half million
subscribers. Its strong hold upon the affec.
tons OF American women has come in the
past generation, from its practical advice
about dress details and home matters.

Charles A. Towne spent few hours in
Washington last Friday, en- route to New
York, where he is attending to business for
his Texas oil interests. He seems to care
little for politics and declined to discuss any
of the questions of the hour. Apparently Mr.
Towne is rapidly becoming ''plute. 1t is
understood that his prospects in financial
way are exceedingly bright.

private secretary in this city, and was un-
certain where he would go from that place
His health has been good. Aug. IL he will

New York it is likely he will come to Wash

Buffalo exposition and thence to Minneapolis.

Long last winter, but received no encour-
agement, the old Minnesota being in the way
at that time.

Cleveland foreshadow the channel by which
opposition campaign managers will try to
profit by the latest change in democratic
plans. There will be efforts Of republican
campaigners to laugh Bryan's personal
following out OF the reorganized demo-
cratic party. Several party newspapers
are already trying 1t. They believe that
Bryan in his five years peregrinations has
attracted to himself many personal ad-
herants who may now be switched out of
the democratic party IL it be made to ap-
pear that their hero is being badly treated.
The action OF the gold democrats in bolt
ing Bryanis nomination in 1896 and 1900
will encourage these Bryan adherants to
adopt the same tactics themselves, now
that the party in Ohio has gone under
gold leadership and seems likely to do
so as national organization. 1t is said
that the ten men of Cleveland will soon
issue a formal statement of principles and
hold a convention in Columbus July 81.
What strength they are able to muster
will be significant of the opportunities for
cleavage in the national organization, for
the Ohioans have been about as strong or
silver, particularly the democrats, as any
people east of the Missouri. 1t is in the
Ohio valley states that any cleavage of
this sort would be disastrous to demo-
cratic prospects in 1904, and hence the de-
sirability Of having its strength tested
now.

one of the most important questions that
will be placed before the president and
Secretary Root by General Wood when he
comes to the United States.
That a campaign to that end is being
engineered by some of the most promin-
ent and conservative Cubans has been re-
ported in Washington from Havana. The
leaders in the movement are said to be
those who favored the acceptance Of the
Platt amendment and who were we'll
satisfied and pleased with the action of
the constitutional convention in placing
islands.
The adoption of the Platt amendment,
however, does not go far enough, in the
opinion of the annexation. 1t places
the island under the protection of the
government of the United States, but it
does not provide for the economic situa-
tion that will confront the rulers in the
new government. Beyond this protection
the conservative Cubans don't look for
any assistance from the United States and
none can be accepted, as Cuba is legally
foreign country. The proposition for a
reciprocity agreement between the two
countries is not regarded with much
favor by many members OF congress and
there is certain to be a fight in congress
If any reciprocity treaty is arranged, be-
cause of clash with local interests
The annexationists realize the difficult
ties in the way of the new government
and say the only way out of them is union
with this country. In furthering their
cause they have appealed to the conserva-
tives among the islanders. They address
themselves to call who live from their
labor, agriculturalists, great and small,
the merchant the industrials and the
landed proprietors and all who desire for
Cuba order, progress and prosperity" 1t
is pointed out that Cuba is ''near a none
tary crisis, the country is exhausted and
impoverished, and much time is to elapse
before 1t gets on its feet if we don't have
the acumen to select the only straight
and sure road on which to reach an
exit: that is, annexation to the United
States. That annexation will have
to come at all events there re-
mains no doubt, but there is
great difference between having
it soon, by timely request, and hav-
ing it come after a long process which
may exhaust the little strength remaining
in the country"

Of tariff revision is by a caucus of house
members next December. Congressman
'Joe" Cannon Of Illinois has been cred
tied with originating the suggestion, but
he says that he did not make it. 1t is a
suggestion that will appeal with great
force to the party as the tariff discus
sion grows in intensity with the nearer
approach Of the opening of the session.
If the caucus is opposed no doubt the
ultra protectionists of the east will be
responsible. The tariff revisionists, count
ing upon what they will say is the JUS
tice of their cause and their growing
strength, will be quite willing to submit
their claims to caucus. The protec-
tionists will probably be unwilling to do
SO.
From present indications, the protec-
tionists will control the situation. They
may not have an actual majority of the
house, but their following will be so
strong that the revisionists will be un-
willing to invite the internal strife and
disorganization that would follow the
victory Of their cause. Besides, the pro-
tectiOnists control the money bags Of the
party which is important.
Recently there has been some talk in
the east about not re-electing Hen ,Hrson
as speaker because he comes from the
west, and is presumably in favor of tariff
revision. This talk originates with the
high protectionists, but need not be taken
seriously. 1t is at best merely a bluff.
To overthrow Henderson, no matter what
his tariff views or what his environment
in the west, would be to invite the strug-
gle which the tariff folks are very de-
sirous of preventing.
Congressman William Alden Smith of
Grand Rapids, Mich, who was in Wash
ington few days ago, said to TIL e
favor of having the tariff revised, If re-
vision were deemed necessary, by the
friends of protection. This view will
doubtless be shared by all republicans,
and will prevent Mr.. Babcock from ac-
cepting the aid of the democratic members
of the ways and means committee in re-
porting his bill. Last spring Mr. Babcock
could have had his bill reported by the
aid of democratic votes, but declined.
Whatever is DONE 1t appears to be the
feeling that the republicans within them
selves ought to do it. Any aid rendered
by the democrats would be subject to
great suspicion. In the first place. the
democratic party is proverbially and by
tradition favorable to low tariffs. In the
second place, it would gladly lend itself
to the Babcock or any similar scheme if
by so doing it could stir up strife in the
republican ranks.

The local weather prediction is for fair
weather tonight and Tuesday. The
weather bureau advertises cooler weather
for western Minnesota. Mr.. Outrams
report for Sunday morning was:
The temperatures continue high over the
corn and wheat belt and have risen de-
cdedly in the Minnesota district, over which
the maximum ranged from 80 degrees, at
Langdon, n. D., to los degrees. Dry weather
has continued except for occasional very light
local showers from Ohio to Kansas and Ne
braska.
This mornings report shows a little
change. 1t is:
The temperatures continue high over the
corn and wheat belt, but are slightly cooler
in eastern North Dakota Local rains have
occurred in eastern North Dakota and at
Crookston, Mimi, at Aberdeen and Redfield,
S. D., and occasional light local showers in
the other districts except Des Moines and
Columbus.
1t Was Hotter Once.
Minneapolis has not yet reached the
record temperature of the local weather
bureau. One hundred degrees is the high
mark which the thermometer was rapid
ly approaching by successive advances. On
Saturday the maximum was 9S, which is
reduced to-day to 81. The reports from
