American Slang Abroad,

Attempts to express the meaning of
slang phrases in use in this country
have produced two amusingly curious
words. in Europe-one in German and
the other in French. The German word
is "spredeeg lisme." our spread-eagle-
ISM" and is used for the emperor's
policy. The French word is the verb
"tomater" which means to "stone a
fellow with tomatoes"

The cutters of the great glove houses
Mt Brussels and in France earn even
higher wages than the cutters of the
most fashionable tailors in London and
New York. So difficult is this art OF
cutting gloves that most of the prin-
cipal cutters are known to the trade
by name and by fame, and the peculiar
knives which they use in the business
are so highly priced that they are hand

CHICAGO AS AN OCEAN PORT.

Tn Frank Leslie's Popular Montnly for May appears most 1nteresting article upon the possibilities of Chica- 20 as a seaport The author, W.D. Hull bert, sums up his argument by remark ing that, when all is said and done, the facts remain that transporrat1on by water is almost invariably cheaper than by land, and that at least q DOT ton of a cargo--say from fifteen hundred to to thousand tons-can be carried through the Welland and St. Lawrence canals without breaking bulk. The latter point is of vital importance, especially in the ship ment of fragile goods which VIII not bear handling. The delays ssln passing the canals twill be counter balanced to some extent by the de lays which now take place in the New York custom house. It is even clalineu that, because of the length of time reI ouired to get merchandise through the crowded warehouses of ' New !. aork; ,lll; goods from Europe can be detlyereu at the lake ports more promptly bv way of the St. Lawrence tian hv the present routes. AS to the comparatiyely small size of the steam ers that may prove to be in some cases a positive advantage, for 1t Will enable them, like the Wergeland, to visit lesser European ports, which now have no direct communication with America cities too small to absorb inc cargo of a larger steamship, or to furnish her with load for her return trip. Even if the traffic should not be as satisfactory as desired in 19Ol,y It may succeed the following year. Just now marine freight rates are not hlgh, and there is a great demand for steam CTS. especially on the ocean; but this condition of things cannot last always. Sooner or later q change must come, and the cargo will no longer be seeking q ship, but the ship q cargo. And then the owners and masters of medium ID sized steamers will turn their attention 10 this fresh-wateT route, stretching from Montreal six hundred miles into the very heart ofEthe North American continent

When it comes to so working out problem so that the public is bam- boozled and no patronage lost, the ay- craze republican politician can easily beat the world. An example has just been made public. It is officially an nounced that MT Mckinley and Secre- tary Root have decided that the num- Der of enlisted men in the regular army shall be limited to T6,00o, unless there is fresh outbreak in the Philippines. That was to bamboozle the public, and will make small difference for a long time, as the slowness in recruiting made it certain that it would take many months to enlist all the men au- thorized by the new army law. Ac- companying the announcement was the statement that all the officers pro yided for by law would be appointed. That was to save the patronage over which there has been so much scram- bling. If there are more officers than there is work for there are always nice little details, in. Washington and elsewhere, to which those with pull enough can be assigned, the principal duties of which are social.

FROM CHICAGO TO EUROPE.

Chicago, our Newest Seaport, IS the title. of d most interesting article in Frank LesHe's Popular Monthly for. May, which gives information that most business men will not care to be without.
 It is not expected, says the author, that the boats building in Chicago will be able to traverse the canals when loaded to their greatest capacity; for the Northwestern can be so loaded as to draw tWenty-one feet. A full cargo for one of them means nearly thirty- five hundred tons, and not much more than two thousand has ever passed the Welland in a single vessel. The plan is to have them carry as large loads as possible from Chicago to Montreal or Quebec. and there fill up with addi- tional freight before crossing the ocean This method has already been put in practice to a slight extent. Last sum- mer a Canadian company, which IS engaged in opening some mines on the northeastern shore of Lake Superior, brought over from England four small steamers of about twenty-five hundred tons each and used them in transport ing machinery and supplies from Lake Erie ports to the scene of their opera tions. At the close of the season of navigation the boats were sent back; and each one called at Conneaut har~ bor, Ohio, and took on a thousand tons of steel consigned to England by the Carnegie Steel company. At Montreal they made another stop and filled up to their full capacity. with lumber and other freight. These shipments of steel direct from Conneaut Harbor; to Europe by water attracted great deal of attention in the newspapers, and certainly gave another indication of what may be done with vessels built especially for this trade.
 Tn other respects besides size e model, the Northwestern and her three sisters are we'll adapted to service on salt water as well as fresh. Seaworth- mess and so1idity of construction have entered into the problem. Not long ago I asked a famous civil engineer, one who has made a special study of transportation between the lakes and the sea, what would be likely to happen to the average lake steamer if she ven tured out upon the ocean.
 Shed go to pieces, he replied ssShe's too f1imsy. She's not as fimsy as boats in which have travelled along parts of the Pacific coast of South America, where they never have any violent storms, but she couldn't t stand the North Atlantic

side--it will place us much in the same position as England has been in in con nection with this country almost con tinuously up to within the last few years. Whenever money became scarce and rates high at the foreign money centers they would deluge our market with the return of American se- curities, so as to draw gold from us. This country is now in similar posi- ton. Whenever we get into a tight place for money, if we ever. do again, we will have European government securities to send back to them in place of shipping gold.

TROUBLES THAT NEVER OCCUR

ssI wish very much," said a young woman, ito go and see the firm of w.. and M. I feel almost certain that l could ob tain with them just the posi- ton I have long wanted, and un- derstand they have been for over Q month trying applicants for this posi- ton, but so far no one has been found satisfactory"
 .'WIhy in the world don't you apply at onee?' asked the person addressed.
 Why, you see,'' replied the young woman with a sigh, as she glanced at her weather beaten gown, live let myself get shabby, and clothes do make such a difference in an appli- cant's success
 .sI'll lend you money for suit" said the friend.
 70, thank you was the reply with another sigh" but, 1 don't want to borrow. The fact is, I have hun dred dollars, but am saving it for my poor sisters funeral"
 .Is she so ill?'' asked the friend.
 sNot dangerous yet was the an- swer but I'm sure she won't live the summer out. She's weak and de- pressed and has no vitality or appe- tite.
 Now look here" said the friend, whose intimacy and interest warrant ed plain speaking, you are taking q dead wrong, as well as an entirely foolish course. It's more than likely your sister won't die, and it lies with you more than all the doctors living to keep her alive. Don't you suppose your being unfitly dressed, and in q poor paying position, and your de- pressed atmosphere have much to do with her depression and want of vital ity? I'll go with you now to buy your suit Then you make straight for Vi. and Ms, as soon as you can get your new clothes on. Go home and tell Jean you have a. fine position, put fifty dollars of the money you have saved for her burial into her hands and tell her to go to the sea shore or mountains for three weeks, and 80 save yourself, your sister, your sor- row and funeral expenses at the same time Come! We'll have the suit sent home e. O. D.'''
 The advice was taken, the desirable position was secured, and, six weeks later, a well dressed, prosperous look ing young woman met at the train another young woman, who, vitalized by mountain air and Drowned by mountain winds, no longer even re- motely suggested funeral expenses Lida A.

KEEP THE CHANGE.

Where in the making of change a person receives by mistake a package of twenty s gold coins instead of a package of twenty nickels, the court of appeals of Kentucky, in the case of Cooper ct al, vs Commonwealth (60 s. w Rep, 33S), holds that he is not guilty of 1arcency, unless he knew at the time it was made, and tlicn intend ed to convert the money to his own use.
 This question arose on the following facts: Sandy Waggener and three others were convicted in Kentucky for crime of grand larceny. The four had been shuci1ing corn and were paid SC for their services. In order to divide the money equally among themselves, they went to the bank of Uniontown to have S2 of the money changed Into smaller denominations. Sandy Wag- gener went into the bank and to the cashiers counter, handed him the $2, and asked for the change. The cash fer gave him two half-dollars and 9 roll of small-sized coin wrapped in paper. saving: st,There are twenty ilickels." Waggener. without knowing what was in the paper, except from the statement or the caSnlef, reJol--sl his companions and the four together went to secluded spot to divide the money. On opening the package they discovered it contained twenty S5 gold coins. instead of hickels. Waggener remarked: "Boys. banks don't correct mistakes and the money was divided among the four and appropriated by them On the trial the jury was in- structed substantially that if the de fendants received the money under a mutual mistake, and after discovering the mistake feloniously converted the money to their own usa. they were guilty. But on appeal the court of appeals held that this was not the law and granted new trial The correct rule ill the case of an oyerpayment, the court said, was that in order to constitute larceny in receiving the overpayment, the defendants must have known of oyerpayment at the time it was made and must have then intended to convert the money to their own use.-Exchange.

SATURDAY, APRIL 27, 1901.

Speaker Light is a good republican, and he doesn't care who knows it. In his appointment of the committee to re-district the state he gave the repuD- licans the whole thing except just one little democrat, who will be allowed to attend the sessions of the committee, no doubt, if he is good, and does nor try to arrange the districts so that the state will elect democratic con- gressmen. There is a righteous howl being made over the naming of the committee.

< The American subscription to the British loan, says Henry Clews in his
 weekly letter, will not seriously affect

 therefor are spread over a period of

 most of the subscribers to this loan be- ing speculation and not permanent holding. The rate at which the securi- ty is offered marks English consols down to a price lower than they have
 previously been since the Barring panic of 1890. They are, therefore, very irl- viting. At the recent advance in mon- ey here, Western banks, especially Chi cago institutions, were large loaners
 on time ill this market, and there is plenty more from the same source that
 will gradually come this way. Very active money, now that the exchanges
 are commencing to point ill this direc- tion from all the leading monetary cen
 ters of this country, Is quite out of the
 question. notwithstanding that con siderable gold is likely to be exported between now and the harvesting of the Uew crops, as there is little else to ex-
 poyt now but gold, and there is
 greater need for it in Europe than oR
 this side. It would not be surprising, therefore, if we should have to part
 with at least $2o,0O0,00O When the ! last British loan (which was very much smaller than the present one)

Senator Cockre1l stated the case in nutshell when he said, the other day, that the Cubans entirely misunder- stood their status. This has become plain since the committee from the Gu ban constitutfonalscon convention reached Washington. Although they represent no government and are paid salaries by the United States, they came to Washington with the idea that their status was the same as ministers plen- ipotentiary, sent by one government to negotiate with another, and they have been greatly surprised to discover that they were in Washington to be jollied and entertained at White House state dinners and such functions, but not to negotiate. A negotiator must neces- sarily have credentials, and where, pray, would these Cubans get creden- tials? The convention which elected them has no government behind it, ex- cept the military government of the United States, and government can not negotiate with itself The subject upon which these ,self-deluded Cubans were most anxious to. negotiate was the tariff-they wish this government to lower or entirely remove the duty on Cuban sugar and tobacco, and hay ing ascertained that congress alone could act, they have been trying to see what chance there was of securing AIr AIcKinley's promise to recommend such legislation to, congress. They have not received any encouragement in that line, nor in the. hope that congress would modify the conditions laid down by the Platt amendment.

Monday Club Meeting.

The regular meeting of the Mon day club was held yesterday at the residence of Mrs. Jeannette and D. Levy, Mrs. R. E. Sloan presiding. Mrs. O. A. Hesla, who was elected president for the ensuing year at the previous meeting of the club, resigned, and the nominating committee, of which Mrs. F. A. Tritle is chairman, presented the name of Mrs. W. c. Campbell for the position, and she was unanimously elected. As Mrs. Campbell had previously been elected vice president, her election as presi- dent left vacancy in this position and Mrs. T. W. Otis was elected vice president. Mrs. Morin, elected treas urer, also stated that it would be i'm possible for her to fill the position, and Mrs. W. T. Brown was elected. Mrs. w. T. Brown was elected mem- Der of the literary committee. Mrs. Tritle gave notice of an amendment to the constitution providing for two vice presidents, which will be voted on at the next meeting of the club.
 The literary topic of the day was ''The Pilgrims" }" and Mrs. J. R. Walls read a paper entitled Religious Growths in England" "Puritans," {" "Separatists.' "Migrations to Hol- land and the Mayfower Compact, !" was the subject of paper by Mrs. w. T. Brown. Papers assigned to Mrs. N. Levy, Mrs. W. c. Campbell and Mrs. H. Goldwater were dispensed with in order that the members of the club might listen to very interesting talk on the question of F Federation of Clubs" by Mrs. Noble Prentis.

 American-made shoes are rapidly driving the English-made article out of the market in the British colonies. American goods of all kinds are made with more style, wear just as we'll or better, and, owing to the skill and speed of American workmen, are sold cheaper than those of any other coun- try. That is why we are getting ahead in all the markets in which our goods are intelligently pushed, and that is why we exceed the world in pros perity.
