VIII the Steel Trust Avert Panics :?

This new amalgamation, together with
two or three other vast aggregations of
capital such as the Standard Oil Com
pany, associated as these interests are
most intimately with the leading banks
and other financial institutions - will
now be able of its own sheer force to
avert the more violent sort OF pauic that
used to be the dread of all prudent bust
ness men. Thus it is at least highly
probable that recent tendencies have
made for an improvement in the delicate
balance between supply and demand,
and therefore may be expected to have
steadying effect and to make violent
panics and violent booms less likely to
occur than heretofore, 1t is also proba-
BILE enough that this great organization,
with its vast resources, can better pro-
tect its average dividend paying ability
than any OF the eight great companies by
the union Of which it has been formed
Whatever may be said by way of defense
or praise of this great organization, the
public will be fully justified in watching
1t with the most careful and critical scru.
tiny. Its gigantic proportions would
seem to give 1t a concentrated power
that might conceivably be used to the
terrible detriment OF individual citizens,
and also to the harm Of the people in
their collective capacity as sell-govern-
ing republic. Such an organization must
be scrupulously just toward individuals,
and 1t must be kept aloot from politics.
or else 1t must expect rocks ahead -

History repeats itself in the growth of
Christian Science in the face of great pro-
fessional opposition in New York state.
The fight that was made against it at Al
bany has failed and the Christian Scien-
fists have added to their prestige. Last
week lecture on the subject was deliv-
cred at Ithaca, under the auspices of Cor
nell University. This is the first time
that this has occurred in the history of
the larger universities. The annouce-
ment OF the lecture brought out protest
from the city physicians in the form of
a petition to the college authorities,
and the University Christian association
also opposed it. The protests were
and the lecture was largely
attended.

Spanish War Claims.

The organization of the Spa nish Wa
Claims commission, OF which ex-senator
Chandler of New Hampshire is to be
president, will be completed this week
and the investigation Of claims for dam.
age done to American citizens and their
property in Cuba during the instruction
will be begun. The total amount Of
claims is now about S3O,OOOOOO. This
will doubtless be increased considerably
during the six months allowed for filing
claims. The task OF settling all these
claims will be hard one. Among them
are some cases that were pressed upon
the Spanish government by our state
department during the Cuban war. A
notable case of this kind is that of the
widow OF DR.. Reiz for whom a claim of
$4,000 was filed. 1t was claimed that
her husband was killed in Jail near Ha.
vana in the latter part OF Clevelaud's
administration. This case was famous
at the first because Gen. Fitzhugh Lee
demanded from Secretary Olney protec.
ton for American citizens in Cuba or his
own recall.
Among the claimants are some Amer.
cans who were more or less in sympathy
with the Spanish during the insurrec-
ton and who, at the request of Dupuy
de LONE. represented to this govern.
ment that the island was pacifed, citing
their own uninterrupted work and un.
harmed plantations as evidence. One of
these went to Washington several times
and IN interviews with officials pointed
to his own plantation as showing the
perfect protection afforded by the Span
ash government. Notwithstanding this

Fire destroyed a famous reminder of
the days before the Louisiana purchase
recently. 1t was the magnificent man
sion near Natchez, Miss, that was built
in 1889 for Don Carlos De Grand Pre-,
who was governor of Upper Louisiana
during the last days OF Spanish rule. 1t
was built largely of marble, which with
the other materials were brought from
Spain, and was the scene of many grand
entertainments in anti bellum DAYS.
Lafayette, and other famous personages
were entertained there, and it was at
one time the home of Philip Nolan, the
original character in Edward Everett

MEN, WOnEN AND EVENTS.

D'Oyly Carte, whose real name was
Richard Doyle Mccarthy and who died
in London last week, was one of the best
known theatrical managers of his time
One of his early successes was the man
agement of the great singer Mario's fare
well tour. In 1877 he produced THE
Sorcerer" which was the forerunner of
that famous series of operettas which in
cluded H. NJ. S. Pinafore, "The Pirates
of Penzance," Patience" "Iolanthe,"
Princess Ida, ""The Mikado," "Ruddy-
gore, "The Yeomen of the Guard, ""The
Gondoliers," utopia (Limited)" and
"The Grand Duke" These made him
famous. His only failure was in an at
tempt to produce grand opera in English,
his first and last attempt in this line be.
ng Sir Arthur Sullivan's "Ivanhoe."
