JUSTICE BREWERS EARLY HOURS

Interview in the Topeka State Journal
 For many years have been getting up at o'clock in the morning." said Justice Brewer, when the conversation gave room for an inquiry about his methods of work Lately the hour has been 5 o'clock. for I find I enjoy taking more sleep. My retiring hour at night is usu- ally about 10 o'clock"
 When some surprise was expressed at this early rising he added: TT began that when lived in Kansas As young judge I was very ambitious. and at night I found myself dreaming over the cases I had tried during the preceding day. I did not rest well, and this troubled me so much that I consulted a physician, an old friend of mine. He advised me to drop all work in the evening. In those days we had dinner at noon and light meals. our supper. toward nightfall. I was to go out in the evening with my wife, attend the theater, play cards or go to parties, but forget the law. Then I might get up as early in the morning as I pleased.
 'T followed his advice and gradually ac- quired the habit of rising at o'clock. I began to sleep soundly and without dreaming so far as I could tell. I got up in the morning with clear head and was able to do two or three hours of good work before breakfast I have fol- lowed that practice ever since. I know many people do their best work in the night, but my best hours are in the early morning."

From the New York Journal.
 The Metropolitan Street Railway Com pany's officials have repeatedly said that the only reason that they continued to experiment with the clumsy, dirty and unsafe compressed air cars was because the expense of putting in electrical sub ways on crasstown lines is prohibitory. This is because. as it was said, of the interference of all sorts of pipe lines and subways at the avenues which makes it cost as much to cross single avenue as 1t does to build mile of straight track
 Now that MT. Edison has perfected his storage battery this may solve the prob lem and result in finally relieving the streets of New York of the horse cars, but there may be no need to even wait for this.
 Paris has set New York an example in this matter. and has electric cars in use over miles of track without using either the storage battery. an overhead trolley wire or an underground trolley. These lines which have just been completed for the companies of the East and West, reach to the Opera on one side and to

From London Truth.
 1. Who made you?
 I made myself.

 By swindling, overreaching and other malpractices
 8. Do you believe in gold?
 Yes, believe in gold with my whole mind, and I love it with my whole heart. 4. Why do you believe in gold?
 Because it procures for me the respect and the affection which the qualities of my character. my intellect and my per- son do not entitle me to possess
 B. Of which must you take the most care of your money or of your soul? Of my money. for without it I should have neither power, position, friends nor pleasures.
 G. What is faith?
 It is to believe without doubting that with money can do whatever please. 2. What is hope?
 Hope is a firm trust that our iniquities will not be discovered in this world and will be forgiven in the next B. What is charity?
 Charity Is to so help others that it may help ourselves
 9. Are we bound to love our enemies? Yes so long as. 1t is unsafe to show that we detest them.

Extravaqant Crop Fiqures.

Expert Snow of the Orange Judd Farmer has long held a high place among grain growers and grain middle, men. His opinions have been widely accepted, and as a rule he has kept close to the facts; but when he pre- diets, as he does now, winter wheat crop of 45O,0O0,oO0 bushels, and a spring wheat crop of 335.o0O,00o. mak- ing a total of 7S5, 100000, or 10000, 900 more bushels than were ever grown in a single year-when he does this he is certainly more optimistic than known facts justify. The year 1898 is tho present record year, the year of largest production. but the entire crop of that year was but 675.000.O00 bush els. The very fact that wheat is bring ing six cents more than 1t did last year in June goes to show that deal CTS do not accept MT. Shows estimate.
 The government report just issued holds out no such promise of cheap bread as MT. Snow anticipates. The condition of winter wheat declined in laay 6.3 points. The general condition

ELECTRIC CAR LINES
 RUN WITHOUT TROLLEYS
Paris Shows New York Managers How to Do Away With Air
 Power and Horses Without the Expensive CondutS.

Montfermeil on the other. use a surface contact system not unlike that of Captain Murphy, which was exhibited last year at Manhattan Beach. That in use in Paris is the Diatto system.
 Along the surface of the street, at in- tervals of ten feet, are placed metal studs, each slightly raised above the surface and each fixed firmly in place. A shoe fitted under the car slide along on these studs, touching a second stud each time before it leaves the last. Under each stud is piece of soft iron rod floating in a cup of mercury. A cable carrying the working current runs beneath the surface of the street and connects the cups one with an other. As the cars, pass magnets in them raise up the soft iron rods beneath and this makes the contact that feeds the cur rent to the cars motors As the car passes the rods drop back. leaving the studs on the street electrically dead.
 It has been argued that snow and ice would make such systems unavoidable in our winters, but in answer to this it may be said that it is just as necessary to keep the tracqs of the trolley lines clear as it would be to clear the line of studs.

from the Chicago Inter Ocean.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
 Compilers of literary gossip are ever es- timating the earnings of popular authors. They tell us how many thousands David Harum" brought to his creators estate, and how the rewards of a grateful public to Bret Harte, Kipling, Hope and even to Hall Caine, Marie Corelli and Silas K. Hooking run into five and six figures.
 These compilers seem utterly to have ignored, however. that American writer whose pecuniary rewards have been greatest. and who is still living to enjoy the fruits of her labors. If her own state ments and those recently made by Will liam G. Nixon of Boston be correct, Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy is entitled to be called "our postpaid author" MT. Nixon, 1t may be mentioned, was for many years Mrs. Eddy's publisher, and hence may be presumed to know whereof he speaks.
 Mrs. Eddy has said, and none questioned her truthfulness, that more than 2oo,0oo copies of her "Science and Health" have been sold. MT. Nixon affirms that this work cost but 47 cents a copy to produce, while it's selling price has been from B 10 s6. Furthermore, 1t has been practically free from the usual charges for advertis- ing and promotion. Hence MT. Nixon es- inmates that Mrs. Eddy must have cleared from saoooOO to s4oo,oOo net on the sale of Science and Health alone''
 Thus, from her one book Mrs Eddy has probably profted. more than Anthony Trollope from his score. Shortly before

is, however. 6.6 points higher than the average Of the last ten years. Cali fornia has a great crop, and Kansas, Missouri, Illinois and Oklahoma have fine growing crops. The Hessian fly has hurt the crops in all of the last named States, and drought and the wheat louse have nearly ruined the Texas crop.
 The acreage in spring wheat is smaller by 100000 acres than it was last year, the decrease being heavier in the best spring wheat States, such as the Dakotas and Minnesota, and particularly in Iowa. The general con- dition is good, but its average is no bet ter than the average of the last ten years. The spring wheat crop is far from maturity. and many troubles may yet come to it.
 All in all. it Is reasonable to expect a crop up to that of 1898, or about 75,O00,000 bushels. This means cheap bread at home, and an abundance of the great food-crop for export. It means heavy earnings for the rail roads, and it goes far to give assur- ance of another prosperous year. Corn and cotton can render that assurance trebly sure.

NE OILY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
Beat not the bones of the buried.
 Loves Labor Lost.
Governor Ielks.

By the death of Governor Sanford last night, the Hon. William D. Jelks of Barbour, president of the State Sen ate, became Governor of Alabama, and he will assume his executive duties today.
 Governor Jelks filled the office of Chief Executive for thirty days during the helpless illness of Governor Sam ford, last December, and his admin istration gave the greatest satisfaction to the people.
 He is young man of rare ability and the strongest character, and he will prove himself to be one of the best Governors Alabama has ever had.

Death of Governor Sanford.

Governor Stanford is dead.
 His death occurred at 10:10 o'clock last night at Tuscaloosa.
 The death of Governor Sanford will produce profound sorrow throughout the State. In grief the people will pause to pay tribute to one whom they exalted to the highest place in their service, the greatest distinction within their power to create.
 There will be no creed and no party in the hearts of the two millions mourning the passing of William J. Sanford, for it was given to him to win in great degree the affections, the respect, the esteem and the confidence of the people he governed.
 And full we'll he deservd it all, for he was a great-hearted, great-minded man, of stern integrity and unfaltering fidelity in the broad and honorable offices and affairs of life. He was an honest man. And, after all, that is the highest tribute that may be paid to any man in any walk of the world higher than intellect, higher than greatness, higher than Governorships, and all the things which the multitude acclaim as proud and lofty.
 He was a man who long ago con quered himself, and in that victory he rose above the glory of men who con quer cities and nations; one who rose to the serene heights of the spirit tri- umphant, and who reposed in the calm of self-possession in the higher sense. | A year ago his name was being shouted in every community of Ala bama, and two months later the people elected him with remarkable enthusi- asm to discharge the duties of their highest place of trust and honor. Those who voted for him have had no reason or excuse for regretting the choice, for Governor Sanford has discharged his official duties with distinction and to the honor of himself and the people.
 For many months the Governor has faced death with rare courage and self-control, and through all his fight for life he has been upheld and cheered by a great peoples love and faXh. Death comes at last, and it never bore away braver, manlier soul.

All Should Lend a Hand.

All who have the continuing and un- checked prosperity of the State at heart should urge by letter or by per sonal intercourse moderation and eau tion in the framing of new suffrage qualifications. Very much of unrest and even of downright trouble is tied up in such radical clauses as have been inserted in four cotton-State constitu- tions. These clauses are in spirit an tagonistic to the war amendments of the federal constitution, and whenever it suits the Republican party to raise an issue over them, much injury will be brought to the material interests of the four States. The battle will be bitter, and crimination and recrimina- tion will be deep and hurtful. There are men in the convention who passed through the reconstruction period, and they at least know what Republican audacity is capable of.
 When 1t can be demonstrated by actual experience in other States that a poll-tax provision backed up by a good primary election law-which all good citizens desire anyway-when it can be demonstrated that such plan will shut out corruption and bring in intelligence, why should this State go further?
 Such a plan would be unassailable from the outside. No hostile legislation can be devised against it. No public sentiment can be built up even in Mas sachusetts on account of it. Massa- chusetts has herself both a poll tax provision and an educational qualifica- tion. No man could then say that Ala bama does not treat all alike. No one could say that any one is disfran- chised, when the State offers the bal lot to any one who will pay his share of the Sfate's necessary expenses. But the poll-tax plan should be sup plemented by white primaries. The politicians in the convention should forget their trade for once and rise above self to patriotism. Let them give over their caucuses and conventions for the States good. They must give them up anyway, and if they would

Mrs. Botha's Mission.

Beyond all doubt conferences are being held both in South Africa and in Europe looking to 8 settlement of the Boer war that both sides can accept with honor and with prospect of a long peace. Mrs. Louis Botha, the no- ble wife of the Boer commander-in- chief. has arrived in England, and soon she will meet MT. Kruger in Belgium. She desires peace. She knows the ex- tent of the suffering at home, especi- ally among the women and children, and with all the courage of a woman upon whose heart rests the sufferings of people, she is endeavoring to bring peare where war has already lasted too0long.
 England can now afford to make material concessions to brave people whom she has scattered and well-nigh conquered. She has deprived them of artillery, of railroads, of a capital. and almost of all towns. They are re- duced to the guerilla plan of warfare, having nothing but their rifles and hardy horses to depend upon. There is no glory for England in fighting a handful of people reduced to such an extremity. The whole world hopes Lord Salisbury and his colonial secre- tary will be generous, and that they will grant concessions which will en- able the Boers to live comfortably, although independence in the fullest sense has been forever lost.
 Mrs. Botha's efforts were begun at home. and when she could not secure peace there, she turned to Europe, and many believe her work will be ended in a peace that will bring relief to her own people, and stop war that is a severe tax upon the resources of even Great Britain. The great task has 0ttn ldhCn uP oy O WciAe<AA "AAo hOsOA before saw an European country. She was born on a South African farm, and there her whole life had been spent until she was driven to Europe by the sufferings of her own people. Her husband was formerly farmer and butcher, and 1t Is not known that this remarkable woman has more cul- tivation than other women born and bred in the veldt. But she has heart that lends to her devotion strength and skill, and it is believed that she will find a way to peace that the rug ged men by whom she is surrounded at home could never find.

Reported Mrs. Maybrick's Trial.

MT. John c. O'Connell, the staff corre- spondent of the Mobile Register, who is in Birmingham obtaining information for the forthcoming Southern Railway edi- tion of that newspaper. was an expert stenographer in the famous trial of Mrs Florence Maybrick, for the alleged pois- oning of her husband, in Liverpool twelve years ago. He was on the staff of the Liverpool Post for seven years. and was for a time stenographer under Henry w. Lucy of the London Daily News in the House of Commons.
 It is an interesting fact that after re- porting the trial of Mrs. Maybrick, and when he was at that work having no thought of ever coming to America, MT. OConnell should in the end go to Mrs Maybrick's birthplace and girlhood home, Mobile, to reside and work on the news paper which Mrs Maybrick daily read in her youth

RABBI BEN-HIssAR.

Post Wheeler in the New York Press. Rabbi Ben-Hissar rode one day Beyond the city gates. His way Lay toward spot where his own hand Had buried deep within the sand A treasure vast of gems and gold He dares not trust to man to hold. But riding in the falling light, A palid figure met his sight An awful shape-he knew full we'll Twas the great Angel Azrael. The dreadful presence froze his breath: He waited tremblingly for death. Fear not!'' the angel said "I bear message. Rabbi Ben-Hissar One thing the Lord hath asked of thee To prove thy love and loyalty Therefore now am come to bring Thy rarest jewel to thy King" Rabbi Ben-Hissar bowed his head. "All that have is his," he said. The angel vanished. All that day He rode upon his lonely way Wondering much what precious stone God would have chosen for His own. But when he reached the spot. he found No other hand had touched the ground. Rabbi Ben-Hissar looked and sighed. 'Tt was a dream!" he sadly cried. "I thought that God would deign to take Of my poor store for His dear sake. But twas dream! My brightest gem Would have no lustre meet for His!' Slowly he turned and took his way Back to the vale where the city lay. The path was long, but when he came Unto the street which bore his name He saw his house stand dark and drear, No voice of welcome, none of cheer. He entered and saw what the Lord had
 done:
 To! Death had stricken his only son! Clay he lay, in the darkened hall. On the stolid bier with the funeral pail. The pale death-angel Azrael Had chosen a jewel that pleased him
 we'll.
 Rabbi Ben-Hissar bent his head. t'I thank. Thee. Lord" was all he said.

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

From the New York Press.
 Brevity is the soul of wit; wit is the ievity of the soul.
 The women may look at wicked man with horror, but there are lot of good men that they never look at at all.
 If all the advertisements dealers send out to women were engraved instead of printed they would all have to build big ger stores.
 The female mosquitoes do all the bit ting and the male mosquitoes have to eat grass But, then. nobody expects de- cency from mosquito.
 No woman will ever believe a man isn't all right if he only keeps some stories to tell her about what one of his little children said the other day.

 Moreover, Mrs. Eddy's book is not her only source of income. Her energies have also been largely devoted to per sonal. teaching of her doctrines. She says she has taught more than 4,000 per sons. It is stated, without contradic- tion that her usual fee for personal in- struction is $SO0. Some of her wealthy pupils are known to have expressed their gratitude by giving her much more.
 Four thousand pupils. at an average of $500 each, would give gross receipts of $l,- 200. .OOO. Hence we find that Mrs. Eddy's literary labors have brought her not less than $1, ,500, 900, and possibly more.
 These splendid figures throw complete ly into the shade even the largest esti- Tennyson, Kipling. Marion Crawford. Mark Twain" Victor Hugo, Zola. or of any other modern author. They surpass even Walter Scott's performance. spurred on as he was by the desire to redeem his mercantile honor.
 Those who claim that this Is grossly material age should reflect upon Mrs. Ed dy's profits. Her writings cannot be said to afford pleasure" in the ordinary sense. They certainly do not pretend to lead to material profit. Yet she Is rewarded above any other author of her time, and more richly than any recorded in the past.
