Austria Distrusts Russia.

vienna Correspondence OF the London Times.
The condition of affairs in the Balkans
and the possibility of their affecting the
relations of the dual monarchy and Russia
are evidently the chief preoccupation of
the Austro-Hungarian press at the present
moment. Nearly all the leading newspa-
pers deal with different aspects of this
question. The Poster Lloyd dwells upon
the political significance of the Grand
Duke Alexander Mikhailovitch's visit to
Constantinople and the Importance attach
ed to 1t by the Russian press. 1t observes
that according to that Interpretation the
grand dukes tour marks the latest de-
velopment Of Russian policy. The intrigues
of kaulbars, Hitrovo and Ignatief having
proved fruitless it now remains for the
members Of the imperial family to show
how Russian interests must be promoted.
A Vienna journal considers that the mo-
tive of the grand dukes arrogant visit"
to Constantinople, after calling at Bulgar-
home to the sultan his helplessness and de-
pendence upon Russia. The object Of Rus
sian diplomacy is to reduce Abdul Hamid
to a position similar to that which the
rulers of Persia, Bokhara and Khiva oc-
cupy toward the car. 1t is busily engaged
at ConstantinOple in securing In good time
the inheritance of the sick man. The Neue
Freie Presse calls attention to the dis
pleasure excited in Russia by the under
standing between ROumania and Greece,
and protests against intrigues intended to
promote Pan-Slavist influence at Bucha-
rest. 1t apparently attaches a political sig
nifcance to the approaching visit of the
two sons Of the Servian pretender, Prince
Peter Karageorgevitch, to the Italian royal
pair, wondering whether 1t will cause as
much satisfaction at Belgrade as 1t is cal
culated to do In the Karageorgevitch fam

The LOveliest City.


Last week the return Of the commits
sioners who have been studying the land
scape Of foreign cities again directed pub
lie attention to the plan to beautify Wash
ington. While this interest Is still fresh
let us consider the impression that Mr..
Frederic Harrison. the English lecturer.
took away from Washington lately. We
quote from Current Literature:
1.-The Capitol at Washington struck me
as being the most effective mass of public
buildings in the world. especially when
viewed at some distance, and from the
park in which 1t stands This is
largely due to the admirable proportions of

cessfu} than those of st. Peters, the Ca
thedral OF Florence, Agia Sophia, st.
Isaac's, the Pantheon, st. Pauls, or the
new cathedral of Berlin. But the unique
effect Is still more due to the magnificent
site which the Capitol at Washington en-
joys. I have no hesitation in saying that
the site Of the Capitol Is the noblest in the
world, IL we exclude that Of the Parthenon
In its pristine glory"
A little more than 100 years have passed
since the government moved from Phi.a-
delphia to Washington, and since John
Adams became the first occupant Of the
White House. The growth Of the city has
been slow but healthy. The city Is not
without industries. but Its chief attractions
are government and residential These
make Washington the most beautiful city
in the world. How long II will take to ef-
feet the plan IL outside definite stating, but
II is a sufficient matter for pride at pres

the minds OF earnest and competent men.

But female pertinacity somehow centered
itself on the riding habit and it survived

Advertising I'm England.

From the Syracuse Post-Standard
An odd newspaper war is on in England.
It is between the publishers and the ad-
yertisers, and the contention Of the latter
Is that they should be allowed to use the
columns Of the papers for display adver-
Using, which privilege the heads of the
leading publications refuse to grant. 1t is
another evidence Of how American ideas
and methods are gaining hold In England.
So pronounced has the movement become
that the advertisers are organizing to force
the publishers to grant their desires. The
editor Of the Advertisers Review Is quoted
as expressing this sentiment:
'.The great London papers treat their ad-
vertisers with contempt. They lay down
stupid principles respecting the kind of type
that shall be used and adhere to 1t, in spite
OF the fact that this course Is an idiotic
failure SO far as advertising purposes are
concerned. When asked why they persist
In these methods they simply reply: 1t Is
our rule There are merchants OF long
standing who have been compelled to quit
business because the newspapers have pre-
vented their advertising effectively.
Thousands of US concede that the fertile
American mind has produced the cleverest
advertising conceits known. and we should
be glad to- adopt them did not faulty and

Display advertising, when kept within
proper limits. Is not only profitable to the
merchant and to the publisher. but to the
reader, and 1t is rather surprising that the
English newspaper managers do not rec
ognixe the fact.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The school savings bank has gradually
come to occupy an important place in
this country's public educational system.
While it is nowhere obligatory that teach
ers or school officers shall assume these
new responsibilities, they, In many cases,
have volunteered to adopt the plan when
its benefits have come to be understood.
In many parts of the United States. and
especially In the west. the recent develop
ment of the school banks has been rapid.
California has established the system in
number Of towns and cities within a
few months, and Ihere are indications that
the practical teaching of lessons Of thrift
in the public schools may soon become gen.
eral. It is stated by the statistician of
this movement that there are now 3,5S9
school banks In the United States, which
have 63,567 depositors. The amount de-
posted In these schools since the work was
established Is placed at $4,000, and the
amount remaining on deposit on January
i last was $335OOO 1t is doubtful. how

ELEANOR oRMERoD,s WORK.

Began the Study of Entomology mt an
EARLY Age.
From the London Times.
We regret to announce the death Of the
accomplished entomologist, Miss Eleanor
A. Ormerod, which took place at her resi-
derce Torrington House. st. Adams, after
a severe illness. She had been gradually
sinking for the last six weeks from malig-
nant disease Of the liver.
Miss Ormerod, who came CT a talented
family, was the third daughter Of the late
George Ormerod, D. c. L., F. R. s., the
author Of the history Of Cheshire, and was
born at Sedley Park, Worcestershire, on
May II, 1928, so that she recently complet-
ed her seventy-third year. Insects were
with her lifelong study One Of her
earliest recOllectiOns was that Of being
placed in a chair to watch some large
water grubs-probably the larvae Of a car
nivorous water beetle-wheIf to her amaze
ment she saw one of the creatures which
had been injured devoured by its COM
panions. This observation whetted the ap-
petite for further knowledge. and her ia
theirs GlOucestershire property beautifully
situated opposite to Chepstow. in Mon
mouthshire, afforded her abundant oppor-
tunities for the study Of plant, bird and in
sect life. AS her father advanced TN years
she took q large share In the management
OF the farm and the estate, and this gave
al affairs of which her numerous writings
subsequently afforded Ievdence. A shrewd
appreciation of considerable rinforma-
ton possessed by farmers and farm Ia
borefs, acquired bytthem in the field, con-
.tfibuted much to t4leD success which, Miss
Ormerod achieved. She tapped this store
'of knowledge, and saillfully systenatized
and correlated what had previously been
isolated facts. She won the sympathy OF
the farm laborers at Sedbury, and they be-
came her willing helpers In tracing and
procuring insects. with specimens of the
mischief wrought by them.

the world-fromE varisus European coun-
tries, from Hndtista an and Egypt, North

knew how to dispense with rare old En-
gish grace. Her loss Is not to this country
alone, but to the whole civilized world,
though the farmers of the United Kingdom
will feel In special degree that trusted
friend has been taken from them. Many
people will feel that sucht>ia magnificent
record Of unselfish work she has left be-
hind ought to have received some official
recognition Of a national character. Never
theless, almost the last honor bestowed
upon her, that Of the honorary degree of

Of record. 1t is only since 1897 that this
country has led Great Britain In the an
nual production Of pig iron and steel Of all
kinds. And while there has been q most
remarkable growth In our exports from
and steel manufactures In the past two
years, both Great Britain and Germany are
still larger exporters of such goods than
the United States. So that, though II is
true we increased the value OF our exports
OF finished iron and steel goods from 49, :
100000 In 1895 to nearly $122, 900 600 in
1900, and have actually carried them into
Great Britain and her colonies with con-
siderable success, we cannot yet be said to
dominate the markets Of the world Our
progress toward that position of absolute
supremacy has been very rapid for the
past two years, and II would seem that
nothing short OF q great disaster to our
iron and steel industries-such as the gen.
eral strike now threatened would be-can
prevent our reaching 1t within a few years.
It Is a fact worthy Of some consideration
that the British iron and steel trade be-
gan to lose ground to American competi-
ton after 1t had gone through the strain
OF a great strike. While the British en-
ployers and their men fought to a finish"
American mills kept at work. and Ameri.
can iron and steel pushed their way into
hitherto unassaflable British markets. Are
American iron and steel companies and
their employees now going to take the Same
mutually hurtful course and thus give their
British and German rivals an opportunity
to recover themselves?

A LOcomOtor Ataxia Club.


The tendency 20 form clubs is one of
the vital phenomena of our civilization
Men and women nowadays organize them
selves into associations for every imayin-
able purpose. The growth Of trusts Is
only larger application of the same prin-
ciple. Thus far we have had no medical
trust" and We make bold to express the
hope that We never shall have one But
II reports are true, cur patients are be-
ginning to organize. There has been form
ed, according to -umor, a Tabetic Associa-
ton 1t Is not to be an inco-ordinate BODY
but well organized, and Is to offer a prize
or $1,000 for sure cure for locomotor
ataxia- In the present state OF pathology
We fear the offer is safe one, but We
sympathiZe heartily with the new club and
can even see ground for believing that
some good can come out of 1t. A com
munity OF interest is certainly vital prin-
cipie among men, and there is no reason
why the victims of posterior scierosis
should not find in enc another's society q
bond of fellowship that may make the gen.
eral burden OF their infirmity less grieYous
to be borne. To he sure. we have known
some tabetics who could hardly be classed
as 'clubable men, but unity Of purpose
viii do much to mitigate the slight asperi-
ties that might arise from social distinc-
tionS and individual idiosyncrasies 1t is a
curious fact that locomotor ataxia is one
OF the few very chronic affections that
constantly appeal TO the Imagination of
doctors and patients alike as having in re-
serve some latent tendency toward recov-
cry Many experts refuse to be discour-
aged by IL: many patients linger on in the
fond hope and expectancy OF cure. Let us
trust that these hopes yet will be realized.
and that the new club will be an active
agent In securing such earnestly desired
results.
