BIG RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.

A unique excursion was recently arranged

SIGNALS OF THE STREETS.
Nearly Every Peil IN the City Thor.

In the steady volume of the noises
of the street the bell has become the
insistent charaetcristic--the jingiing
bell. the tinkling bell, the sweet bell
tangled out of tune-above all. the
pcremptory clang of the warning
gong. II is not SO very long ago that
the bells of the street were few and

gypsy chime OF cowbells swinging on
a leather belt supported by uprights
on a pushcart. Its not inharmc-

brazen handbell. the large dinner beIl,

sure indication of the passage Of
the scissors grinder, with his wheel
upon his back and the bell In hand,
looking for the chance to renew the
edges Of domestic cutlery.

.. 9. AGAINST THE WORLD.
Pref. svess, Emsnens rsblieist ssa
Palssnssieeist, Discusses Ous nn-
austrsal Ppepenaesanee.

Prof. Edward Suess, the eminent
publicist and palseontologist, has
given an interview respecting the In
tustrial and political prepondersnce
Of the United States that attracts
much attention, especially a. IL con-
firms the anti-American views of con-
tinental manufacturers and econo-
mists.
The professor, surveying interna-
tional relations from the standpoint
Of . political philosopher, observes
that while the French revolution was
,ccasioned by the abuses Of the privi-
legged classes the present situation has
been caused by q revolution of material
conditions. The declining national
sentiment should be replaced by .
movement for the common defense OF
the central European states against
the American trusts which are moving
to conquer the foreign markets more
surely than they could be conquered
by attleships. The American balance
of trade has reached an unparalleled
figure. II was . serious question II the
present political units Of central Eu-
rope were strong enough to make an
effective defense, taking into account
the physical conditions. The present
shifting of the center Of gravity Of the
wkld's forces would create three
great units-China, Russia and Amer.
lea. When China was equipped with
railroads the people would hnd that
she had the most capable merchants
and the cheapest labor. Russia would
have the largest army and be the great
| est peasant state. European capita
would flow to the United States snt
would be an important increase o.
her economic prosperity. OF the three
the United States had decidedly tn,
lead. It's policy was commercial ag
gression. beyond doubt, and states likt
the American union and Russia hat
gained far more in the way of the mo
bilization Of their powers from tn
construction Of railroads than sucl
countries a. Germany and France.

Royalty. Ca.t-Os R.imens.

One reason why the confidential
srvants OF royalty have been able to
smass comfortable fortunes In spite
Of their moderate salaries Is that they
-eceive from their employers many
riffs of old clothes and other things
which they can turn into money. The
outgrown raiment OF Queen Nictoria's
children used to be quickly purchased
oy discreet persons from the confiden-
.ial servants, who did not offer thes&
perquisites to the world ut large. but
only to a select clientele. In Catholic
countries the church and its various
iisterhoods are glad to take over the
eavings Of royal and imperial fam
lies; for splendid robes can be turned
nto vestments for the Madonna or the
'riests or for altar draperies.-De-

to this rule wherever special arrange
ments have been made for their in
struction. Children attending other
public schools or receiving instruc-
tion from private teachers, CORE
spending, at least, to that of the
public schools, are not obliged to at
tend the latter. Children who con-
tinually neglect school without suf.

ment varying from three hours Ia

Employers who keep children from
school will be fined not less than
$50 marks. Parents and guardians
are obliged to provide material for
needlework and other means Of in
struction for girls. Otherwise tho
school board has the right to obtain
these things by conlpulsion. Accord
ing to the district physician act Of
April all public and private schools
are. in hygienic matters, under the
control of an Official physician, who
must, at certain intervals, winter and
summer, visit every school in his dis

CHAPTER TX.

The momentary happiness which
his unexpected impression upon
Frances brought to Holbin soon gave
place to Jealous rage. II was impos-
siblc for him to rest satisfied. He
told himself that the war was on;
that he had been wonderfully success
ful In his contact with the secret foe,
and that victory was still possible.
He went forth blindly into the city,
seeking information OF an unknown
wounded man, but, Of course, no ex-
p'anntion was forthcoming. for the
reason that no one knew OF such a
man. At dark he sought the police
man whose beat was nearest the
Brookin residence.
Pistol shot? Oh, yes; he had heard
pistol shots every night since the war
