Our esteemed Silver Belt in it's latest issue turned aside from matters of purely territorial interest to inform its readers of the preparation that is being made for the crowning of Edward VII. Having described at some length the ceremonies that prevail at English coronations, which have been infre- quent of late, the Silver Belt says of the ladies dresses: immense court trains will be worn and the length of the train will be decided by the rank of the wearer, the train of duchess being a great deal longer than that of a countess, while a baroness can only wear one that is quite limited" No doubt there will be other ladies present of lssser degree than barone sses. Will they be dressed like ballet dancers and become subject to the displeasure of the police?

The reputation of the democratic city council als an economical body is now
 resting upon q techn!- A DESIRE ca.ity by which 1t hopes TO AVOID to avoid payment of the MEDICINE. publication of the an
 nual general tax Ordi- nance. The ordinance was printed by the official city paper of last year, the Daily Enterprise. under continuation of a contract between the party of the first part and the part of the second part at the option of the present city council. Two of the members of the present council conssnting to the ex- ercise of this option, were members of the council which made the original contract with the Enterprise. The rate named in the contract was believed by many taxpayers to be excessive, more especially since the council had lower bids to choose from. It is now immaterlal to the taxpayers whether that rate was too high or not. and the matter is certainly O, no interest, finan- cial or otherwise. t) The Republican. The democratic city council for year, or until July 8 last, paid the rate with ost a murmur JulyA by the way, was the date on which the contract would expire unless the cour ell should choose to exercise it's option. In ,that;even the rate would continue until the subse- Quent ending of the contract by the di- rection of the council
 The succeeding or present council is solidly democratic, Half of 1t is com posed of two members who made the contract with the Enterprise, and one of them, Mir. McNeil, Is gentleman with an expert knowledge of the art science and cost of printing.
 The annual tax ordinance was pre- pared in due and at the, usual time, and turned over to the publisher under the councils option. We understand that some desultory Inquiry was made by the two younger councilmen con- cerning the cost of publication. It was of inordinate and extraordinary length, a circumstance with which the printer could have nothingto do. We furtherun- derstand that there was an ex cathedra and offhand estimate that the cost would be in the neighborhood of sSo0.

A new and Widespread strike

A new and widespread strike is threatened, and, if it occurs it is
 likely to have little THE USES more public sympathy OF THE than some of the strikes TIP which have recently broken out. It is the proposed strike of 1000 Pullman car porters for higher wages to compsn- sate them for the greatly reduced tips that they are getting. It seems that the best Pullman porter does not re- ceive more than $30 a month pay, and this allowance, out of which he must keep himself and his family. is so meager because it is the assumption of the car company that the travelling public will kindly relieve 1t of the larger part of the burden of paying this class of its employees. As the only service that the ordinary traveller gets out of the porter is very poor polish for his shoes, worth less than five cents in the market, and possibly perfume tory brush of his clothes at departure. the traveller fails to see the fairness of expecting him to support the DOT ter's family. The man. left practically with a bootblack's tip, properly calls on the company to do it's duty. Yet the Pullman car porter is man and q brother.
 The use of the tip is not to relieve employers of the necessity of paying their help. Its purpose is to reward the clever and willing work of servant who has already done his duty with deftness and zeal, and in general way to conduce to the geniaaity and sweet ness of life. If waiter in restau- rant has served a guest perfectly, with out knowing whether or not he is to receive a tip, and if he is given a silver coin which has more or less propor- ticnate relation to the size of the diners check. the giver gets the moneys worth as well as the waiter. For he has purchased the value of the coin not only in good service. but in qualification to his amour proper. in fiattery to his own sense of justice and good cheer.
 Considered In this light. the tip has it's good uses. If 1t is yielded ap as a pure extortion, or an unwilling conces- sion to custom, 1t Is base and pusillan-

imous. Under such constraint the tip is sure first to dwindle, as on the sleeping car it is now dwindling, and then to tremble to it's total fall. AL ready the current tips to walters are growing smaller-beginning with the parts of the country that are best able to pay them. Ordinary tips are smaller in New York than they are in Chi- cago. much smaller in Chicago than they are in Arizona. In any case, It seems clear that the tip wanes as hoarded wealth accImula tes.

The inquiry, however, appears to have
 been quite casual and was not prompt
 ed by any hope or purpose of preserv-
 ing, or rather. creating a surplus in
 the city treasury. It seems to have
 beon merely an expression of curiosity
 concerning the ins. ana outs of the
 printing business by a couple of gem
 tlemen whose knowledge of the art
 preservative had been confined to psru-
 sals of their daily and weekly papers and the payment of subscriptions to
 them. If they had been told that it
 would cost $S,000 to print the tax ordi-
 nance they no doubt would have re-
 garded that as a matter of fact and
 reasonable figure. But the price of probably $500 having been suggested
 they very naturally fixed upon that sum as somewhere near the amount the city would have to pay. When, how ever a bill of more than $l,300 was presented these gentlemen were shocked. The figures were so far re- moved fro m their cursorily gathered idea of rates per inch. The measure ment was found to be correct and by an application of the old and reliable multiplication table the aggregate was found to be unassailable. It was a no more unreasonable price than a dem ocratic council had been paying cut of the taxpayers money for a year. The council felt, however. that though 1t could strain at gnats and get them down on 364 days of the year, it could not swallow bunch or gnats as big as a camel on the 365th day. The council began to manifest disposition to avoid its medicine.
 Thsre was at first a theory that the bill might be repudiated on the ground that the contract had expired before it was incurred, but a second reading showed that to be an untenable theory. The discovery was thsn made that by an unexplained error line containing the words "or smokestacks or other structures" had been omitted. There was therefore presented possibility that there had been no legal publica- ton, and that consequently there should be no pay. This contention may or may not be sustained in court. We cannot undertake to say whether 1t is good or not. but in any event the mo- rality of the council cannot be estab- lished for members of that body have said that that omission would not have been sought as a means of evad- ing an obligation under a contract, if the Enterprise bill had been more,mod ! crate. In the same breath the council men. therefore, say they would dis regard contract or would pay as much as $500 for an illegal publication for which, under their oaths. they could pay nothing. In other words the council could be induced to accept as legal publication which 1t contencs is Illegal, and enroll 1t among the ordj- nances fruitful source of expensive litigation.

MORE THAN SHE COULD EAT
IFrom the Chicago Chronicle.l


Senator SDooner, or Wisconsin. is a
gallant man at all times. and is especial
ly so when he encounters a woman in
distress. Some time ago, when the Ma
tional Convention of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union was in session,
one of the California delegates, an elder
ly woman, went into a restaurant, look
"a the bill of fare over carefully and or
dered fried oysters
How many2" asked the waiter
oh" she said. remembering the dirnin-
utive oyster of California, I guess a
dozen and a half viii do"
The waiter lifted his eyebrows, but
took the order back to the kitchen In
due time he appeared with an enormous
platter full Of fried oysters each half as
large as a mans head
The California woman nearly tainted.
Take them away" she gasped- Il
never. never ordered that great mass of
food"
That's a dozen and a half fried oys-
tiers. rna'am, the waiter replied.
There was some hysterical but vain
argument on the part Of the delegate
from California.
She was told she would have to pay
FOR the oysters. but she needn't eat them
unless she chose to do So
Just then Senator Spooner came in
and sat down at the next table The
Woman's Christian Science Temperance
Union delegate. almost in tears, leaned
over and asked imploringly. oh. sir, DO
you like fried oysters2''
Senator Spooner started. I have eaten
them. madam he replied with dignity.
Then please buy these; please. please
do"
But" said the senator, laughing. Il
never eat them now, for I find they pro-
mote Indigestion
The woman exhibited her white ribbon
badge and implored again. 'Oh. you
haven't eaten anything yet; please buy
these"
We'll, I'll buy them. but assure you,
madam. 1 do not contract to eat them
And he paid the check. while the dele
gate from California almost ran out OF
the restaurant.

POLICE ARE NOT SURE.
Perhaps They Know theHighwaymer
and Perhaps They Do Not

Another highway robbery occurred in
Topeka last night They are becoming
very common. This time it was James
Patterson who lives on North Van Buren,
street. He was held up and robbed Of
IS in money by two negroes at IL
o'clock last night in front Of the Chris
tian church in North Topeka The
negroes put a gun in his face and then
went through his pockets. He had been
at a dance at Barrett's hall and was on
his way home when the robbers stopped
him He offered no resistance for he
saw that it would be useless.
The police think they know who did
the work but they have not found the
men. 1T may be the man who is re-
sponsfble for the case OF infanticide or
the man who held up Ankeny or the
man who robbed the Singer sewing ma
chine ofIice-they are not sure.

That is What Russian Occupation Of
Manchuria is Now Called.


Washington, March eft is stated on
excellent Russian authority that the
Manchurian convention has from the
first been regarded simply as a modus
vivendi It was this phase of the sub
ject which Count CasSini brought to the
attention of Secretary Hay yesterday
and simultaneously it appears to have
been impressed upon the minds of the
British officials, as Lord Lansdowne an
nounced to the house of lords that the
convention viewed as a modus vivendi
might not present the objections here
tofore held against it. The Russian au-
thorities at Washington have all along
vivendi, although Count Cassini has
now made this rather palmer to Secre-
tary Hay. It is explained that the term
modus vivendi, as applying to the pres
ent convention. means that abnormal
conditions have arisen in Manchuria,
and that normal conditions can best be
restored by means of a modus.
The chief purpose of the modus, it is
explained would be to provide for the
eva, uation of Manchuria by the Russian
troops as their presence is part of the
abnormal conditions brought by the dis
turhanees. But with these forces with
drawn Russia expects that assurances
will be given that quiet will be maintain
&c and that the former normal condition
viii, be in fact restored. When the old
state Of things is thus restored it is the
Russian view that the modus vive1Gi
will cease to operate as its purpose VIII
have been secured of correcting the al
normal conditions brought about by the
Chinese outbreak and the dispatch of a
large Russian force to differeHt
points in the province. 1t is said that
the integrity of China viii be complete
~ preserved and that nothing in the ma
ture of a Russian protectorate or SUI
erainty will exist.
Neither the Russian ambassador nor
the Chinese minister has received any
word as to the final action on the COT
vention. The Chinese minister was at
the state department today having re-
turned from q three days visit to New
York He is without advices however,

TRIUMPHAL TOUR.
Marine Band Meeting With Unqual-
fled Favor.

Two acts of Lieut.. VIM. H. Santel-
mann this week during the tour of the
United States Marine band have accent
ed his especial fitness in addition to his
musical attachments to be at the head
of our national band In Cincinna ii.
when presented with q flag, the leader
did not say a word in reply, but turn
ing to his splendid body of musicians,
Spangled Banner spoke the bands ac-
acknowledgement. A pretty act in In
dianapolis Wednesday is described in
part by the Indianapolis Journal thus:
Surrounded by a thousand citizens,
the body of the late Gen. Benjamin
Harrison, now lying in a sepulcher Of
stone at the foot of classic Crown Hill.
was paid a beautiful tribute yesterday
afternoon by the United States Marine
band, which during General Harriso1's
term of official life in the national cap
ita1 furnished the music for high gov
ernnental functions. This band was
greatly liked by the ex-president, who
rarely missed one of its concerts The
distinguished man was personally ac-
quainted with Lieut.. VIM H. Santel-
mann, director of the band, and Lieut.
Santelmann felt moved to pay last
tribute Of respect to his dead friend
and eminent patron by causing the
band to play appropriate airs over the
grave.
A solemn hush fell over the assembled
multitude when the seventy-four splen-
did looking men, clad in light blue IA
tiglle uniforms wearing white belts and
regulation forage caps, marched with
solemn, martial tread to the Harrison
lot and then countermarched so as TO
bring them in a position Immediately
facing the monument. Without word
the leader waved his baton and the adj
mirably drilled body of musicians gave
forth the enhancing melody of THE
Star Spangled Banner played with
fitting mOdulatOn- When the last sweet
strains of the patriotic number had died
away the familiar notes of Rock of
Ages" hoated out on the crisp air and
the people assembled stirred involun-
tarily as they remembered that this was
one of General Harrisons favorite
hymns Then came the closing selec-
ton, Nearer. my God, to Thee" rem
de~ed so exquisitely that it seemed in
deed a harmonic prayer At the cor
the cemetery at once and took cars for
the city.
Twice as large an audience as had
before been in Tonlinson hall for a con-
cert greeted the band in Indianapolis.
So tremendous was the bands success
that twenty-three numbers in all We're
given, when but nine were on the pro-
gramme. Miss Amy Whaley, soprano,
and Jean B. H. Moeremans, saxophonist,
who are also the soloists here next
Monday night, had to give three selec-
tons each before they were allowed
to go.
The great sale of seats for the bands
engagement at the Auditorium Monday
night indicates people here are favor
able to big attractions at moderate
prices. Such a success will help to Sc
cure great entertainments for the city.
Some chairs are still to be had.
