Wall Street Feels Better.

Wall Street Feels Better.
Aug. 31.-Wheat is to prove the salvation Of
the stock market for at least the year to
come. About 300 ,000, 600 bushels Of wheat will
be exported to foreign countries during the
present governmental year, and the orators
of Wall street are already celebrating to
what shall be done with the returns. In pur-
suit of this pleasant pastime the street natu-
rally grows enthusiastic, enlarging on ma
tional prosperity to such an extent that all
recollection of the partial failure Of the corn
and other crops is practically wiped out
Since it is now an easy matter to calculate
with reasonable certainty on the agricultural
productions for the year and make intelligent
estimates for the future, the preachers OF
prosperity have the floor and the calamity
howlers are compelled to flock together in
miserable minorities to keep themselves COM
pany. And it is only natural that Wall street
should take the hopeful view. 1t is the cen
ter Of production Of securities based on the
country's development, which securities, of
course, could find no market if the times
promised to be bad. Yet, though 1t is to the
interest of the street to take the brighter
vlew when depression really supplants pros
perity the temper Of the financial district
changes, for it is literally the barometer of
the country's condition, ductuating with
every change in the financial weather. That
Wall street should be cheerful in anticipation
Of another year Of the "full dinner pail' can
safely be taken as a sign that a possible
slump is still remote contingency. In cor
sequence, new life is being infused into the
Stock Exchange The pressure Of offerings
of securities has entirely disappeared, and
the syndicates are relieved Of the necessity
of standing guard to protect their pets from
the panickg collie.

some sort of a showing is made before him.
He cannot act mere rumor. If no move
is made, the three senators will retain their
seats uncontested but should a bill be passed
by their votes, and without their votes fail
to pass, the courts might later declare that
the measure never became law. 1t is well
to have the title of every member undis-
puted.
The following procedure has been sug-
gested: Let the voters of each senatorial
district present a petition to the governor,
setting forth the fact that the senatorial
seat is made vacant by the removal of he
senator The governor could then call a
special election, and the senator so elected
could either perfect his title in the courts,
or go before the senate and let that body
determine which was entitled to seat. as in
contested election cases.
There is nothing in the constitution that
directly bears on the question. 1t says:
Senators and representatives shall be quail
ihed voters of the state, and shall have re-
sided one year in the state and six months
Immediately preceding the election in the
district from which they are elected
This is held to mean that so long as they
represent the district, members must continue
to reside within its boundaries Members of
congress are not restricted, and they do
not have to live within the district even at
the time of election. 1t Is only required that

Meeker county is said to desire special
election to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of ]. w. Torrey. The governors office
has no notice Of that fact, and the governor
cannot call a special election without some
kind of request from the county.
The Elbow Lake Tribune, which prema-
turely started the Jacobson fireworks, now
admits where 1t got the matches. An honest
confession merits forgiveness. Here it is:
Two weeks ago, this paper announced that
J. F. Jacobson was a candidate for congress

Either the gentleman had it as a mere rumor
or else he is in possession of inside informa-
tion that is not yet ripe for publication. In
any event, Jake is the best man now in the
republican ranks In this district, for congress
or any other old place.
Mr. Shevlin takes exceptions to statements
emanating from Washington calculated to
convey the impression that he and Evans
were not on friendly terms. He cites the
recent personal and social relations between
Mr.. Evans and himself as sufficient refuta-
ton of the charge, but declines to discuss
the question further.

Fifth Avenue Is a wonder.

One Of the chief puzzlers for the real estate
men of the metropolis is whether or not the
fashionable residential growth of Fifth avenue
will extend beyond One-Hundredth street. At
that point the line Of growth seems to be in
terrupted by the Hebrew hospital improve
ments, yet practically as insuperable an OBJ
stacle seemed to'preclude its extension beyond
Ninetieth street. When the Rupert mansion
was built at Ninety-third street there were
very few real estate men astute enough to
agree with Mr.. Rupert that he was locating
his dwelling In what would yet prove high
grade residence center, and not until Andrew
Carnegie purchased the block and a half Of
avenue front at Ninetieth and Ninety first
street and began the erection of his 81, 500 900
residence was all skepticism removed Since
then, however, not only have private individ
uals been eager to purchase residence plots
in the nineties as well as the eighties, but
speculative builders, quick to rush in. have
secured practically everything left. Making
capital Of the certainty Of future develop
ment, the spectators have almost invariably
made improvements on the lots purchased.
The result is they have been repaid promptly
for their foresight most Of their improve
ments having been sold at handsome figures
considerably before completion. In fact, what
is popularity known as the western colony
In Millionaires' row is located between
Eighty-seventh and Ninety-ffth streets or
course westerners, and far westerners at that,
can be found scattered all up and down the
avenue but in no single section are they
punched" together to such an extent as
between the streets named. When one bears
In mind the immense sums the financial
giants pay for their residences proper, 1t does
not seem likely that the presence Of hospital
improvements at One-Hundredth street will
keep them from following the avenue out 70

STRAW mORsEsHoEs

The praiseworthy fashion of providing the
horses with straw hats as guard against the
sun is growing. But while there is benefit
in adopting this custom it is hardly likely
the Japanese idea Of horseshoes will ever be-
come common here, though it may have
much to recommend it. There straw instead
of iron is employed for the purpose The
shoes are made Of ordinary rice straw braided
very tight and firm, making a surface the
size of the horses foot and about half an
inch thick. They cost cent a pair and
when worn out are thrown away.

Characterization of Wesley as the true in
ventor in religious dynamics." The non
episcopal and Episcopal Methodists hold
to the same doctrines, except the Welsh
Calvanistic Methodist body.
The church of England might have pre-
vented the loss Of the great spiritual force
of Methodism. That force could have been
utilized within the establishment. The
Roman church would have given 1t a field
to work in and have retained it as spir-
itual force. Some English churchmen have
entertained the belief that Methodism may
ultimately be reincorporated in the estab-
ilshment, but it is too late for that now.
Methodism has its own special work to
do and it is doing it we'll. The brothers
Wesley have been honored by the church
of England in the erection of memorial
tablet to them in Westminster Abbey.
The primate of the English establishment
has been invited to attend the ecumenical
conference which meets next week In Lon
don. 1t would be consistent with the
honor already paid to the founders OF
Methodism in the Abbey for the primate
to accept the invitation to the conference.

A Mighty Crane.

What is said to be the largest travelling
crane in the world is at present being used
at the Brooklyn end Of the new East river
bridge BY means Of the giant arrangement
one man can lift thirty tons and put It into
place as easily as If it were an ordinary brick.
The enormous iron girders Of the new struc-
ture are lifted from the ground and swung
into place without the least difficulty The
crane covers the full width of the bridge ap-
roacn and runs on rails attached to the outer
edge OF the structure. The natural incline
OF the approach furnishes the means by which
the crane is moved, il simply being necessary
10 remove the stops from the wheels to set
1t in motion. From the outer edge of the
platform are arms, the reach Of each of
which ls fifty feet. operated by cables which
run around drums at the rear Of the rIatform
where the engine is located Other cables
from which hooks are suspended rrn through
the crane and form the direct lift on the steel
girders. AS huge and cumbersome az this
crane Is in appearance It is operated as cas-
lily and nicely as the keys and stops OF an

Wall street real estate. The farmers work
with Chinese implements, and while in the
fields wear huge cone-shaped straw hats
about the size Of an ordinary umbrella. And
though they practice the same methods and
raise the same vegetables that were known to
COnfucius, they nevertheless outc1ass their
Caucasian neighbors raising a greater guam
ttty OF produce and in a briefer period from
identically the same soil. All the farming IS
done on the cooperative plan, the output Of
the farms supplying the Chinese Of New York
with strictly native vegetables. The finest
are purchased by the Chinese restaurants aud
the groceries in and about Mott street. All
vegetables are sold by the pound, ranging
from to cents for choice. 1t is said that
these Cinnamon produce fully one-third more
to the acre than their white neighbors.
Queen Bees on Their Travels.
From fifteen to twenty thousand queen bees
are shipped through the mails by New York
dealers every year. They go to all parts Of
the United States. and Canada, Cuba and
Jamaica, and in several instances they have
been shipped as far away as Australia. The
method of packing bees for shipment through
the mails is very interesting. A block OF
wood about four inches in length and one
inch wide and half inch thick is used.
Into this are bored three circular chambers,
each Of which opens into the other. In one
chamber combination Of sugar and honey
is placed to serve as food for the Journey.
Over the top of the circular chambers piece
of wire netting is fastened and in the end
Of the block farthest from the pantry a
small opening is made through which the
queen bee and her companion workers" are
introduced. There are generally fifteen or
twenty Of the latter and their duty is to
keep her majesty well fed and cheerfully
entertained during the journey. The hole then
is likewise covered with netting, after which
the company Is ready for its journey. Thus
prepared against injury and starvation, the
bees will live for about two weeks though
on a number Of occasions several Of them
have been known to survive as long as four
weeks The prices Of the queen bees vary. As
rule they are expensive, the lowest price
for one being 81. From this figure the price
Of queens range up to Sc, the latter price,
however, being for the finest quality Of inn
ported bee.

There was something soldierlike in the
sudden death of Captain Judson N cross
this morning. He fell in the ranks. HIS
service to his family and his state, to
which he had freely given the long years
of his active and useful life, was SEEM
ingly still unfinished-he was apparently
in the midst of it, his face to the tuture
and his mind and heart deeply interested
in all that makes for good, when the sud
den summons came. Captain Cross goes
hence highly honored in the regard OF his
fellow townsmen as man and as cIt1-
zen. All the respect that high character,
diligence in life's work. splendid achieve
ment and noble living beget were his. he
served his country as a soldier, and won
distinction; he served his fellows in civil
affairs and is held in grateful memory for
his fidelity and efficiency. In the social
and domestic relations his virtues were
no less admirable and his example an in
spiration to right living. A good man has
departed, but the world is better for his
having lived in it. What is there more
that one could wish to have truly said of
himself when he is gone?
