Advertising Problems.
Current Literature.

Current Literature.
 In the little Dutch City of Leiden the municipality itself manages the public advertising, and so frees the pictuh- esque, canal-cut streets from unkempt hoardings. The city erects at the prin- cipal corners and by the canal bridges boards of neat and attractive design for public notices A projecting top prevents the rain from tearing or wash ing away the bills, the boards are sur mounted by ornamental woodwork, and the advertising is thus not only kept in bounds but is made almost artistic. Of like purpose, and better known, are the familiar kiosks of Paris, and the city owned pillars of theatrical bills. In Paris vigorous agitation has lately arisen against the defacmeng of build ing fronts by hugely lettered signs. and there are ordinances which prohibit the attachment of notices to any tree on the public way, or to the municipal lighting apparatus.
 In Rome the municipal and Govern ment acts are posted on marble tablets owned by the Government and reserved for this use. Private announcements are on bill boards, of regulated size and form. which can be erected only on per mission fro mthe property owner and from the city.

Btu: why? Simply because we were able atNeac h succeeding peiiou to obtain 8 fuller enumeration or these classes. and thus to make a closer ap- p1oach to the actual facts. Half a cen tury ago defective persons were kept a; home and their deficiencies were scrupulously concealed from puphc view.

The census of ls9o sno"s smaller proportion of these detectVe classes than did the census of 1850. ana nodoubt represents the true situation
 The explanation Of incorrect conciu- sions regarding criminals is different. The number of criminals depends Tn great measure upon what the law de- fines as crimes and upon the degree of efficiency in the administration of justice Taking the country as whole there are many more statutory crimes than a century of half century ago. MisdemeanoTs which now send man to jail were in former times wlnked at On the basis of the number of com mitments to jail comparisons have been m ade in print between the moral con- dition of Mussachusettes and Missls- sippi, to the disadvantage of the former State. The writer ignored or forgot the differences in the laws of the two States, and the variations In the de- gree of efficiency with which those laws are enforced. It is probable that greater number of arrests means a higher, rather than lower. condition of morals. A recent writer argued that the Northern negroes were much more of the South, passing his argument sirn- ilarly upon the number of commitments for crime. and thus falling into the same error.

HAVE OIL IN BOTTLES.
Companies Being Organized by the
 Score in Lawton,

Fort Sill, Okla, Aug. 12.-Oil companies with fabulous sums announced for their capital stock are being organized hourly in the new town of Lawton, near here. Twenty or more promoters and "oil ex- perts" direct from the Beaumont district had bottles of oil on display today. No gushers have been brought in. The eX- citement is not confined to any particular district.
 Evidences of oil can be found in all di- rections, but what is known as the oil district is about eleven miles north of Lawton. Oil locators have plastered the entire country with mineral claims and an Ottumwa, la, company has 2,0O acres claiming a capital of quarter million dol lars. has claimed large tract nine miles northeast of Lawton. and a third com pany has been organized, on paper at feast. and placed its capital stock at a million dollars.

TEN THOUSAND ARE STARVING
Converts to the Protestant Faith In Shansi
Province, China, Are Boycotted by
Their Heather NeighbOrs.

Pekin, April 16.-There are 10000
converts to the Protestant faith in the
province of Shansi, and the majority
of these are in great distress. Their
neighbors are boycotting them and
hundreds are actually starving. A
wealthy Chinaman, who is disposed
to be friendly toward the missionaries.
has agreed to advance money with
which to relieve the distress if the
missionaries give the necessary Sc.
curity. Shansi is the province where,
over 20 years ago, during the hard
times, the missionaries distributed
over 100000 taels among the poor and
suffering. Most of this money came
from Great Britain. An American
missionary of the name of Whiting,
who died at that time of famine, was
buried with honors at Taiyuan-Fu,
place where afterward Gov. Yu
Hsien massacred As missionaries. It is
estimated that three shillings month
for each convert will be sufficient to
keep the-starving alive.

A DISASTROUS STORM.
Many Stockmen VIII Be Ruined by the
Death of Their Cattle and Sheep
on the Ranges.

Salt Lake City, April ia special
to the Tribune from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
says: 1t is reported that the Swan
Land and Cattle company, which
ranges large herds of cattle in eastern
Wyoming and western Nebraska, has
lost upward of $500 head of cattle
during the severe storm of the past
ten days. Some of the animals were
driven by the storm over high bluffs
and others were smothered in snow
drifts. Jack Edwards, a large owner
of sheep in Wyoming and Oregon,
lost 1000 head of sheep near Kimball,
Neb.. out of band of $4,000. The
animals were on the Landing beds
when the storm came up. Other but
smaller losses are reported from the
range in western Nebraska and South
Dakota and the eastern part of Wyo:
ming. The storm is still in progress
and many stockmen will be ruined.

POPE LEO GR1EvRD.
I'm Several European Countries Cause
the P0ntffR Much Pain.

Rome, April 16.-The pope, at Mon
lays consistory, expressed great af-
aiction at the simultaneous revival in
several parts of Europe of hostilities
against the church. He also spoke of
the sadness of the law against reli-
gious associations in France, which
had not deserved such a calamity. The
pontif also dwelt on the inconsistency
of a country which proclaims liberty
for all while refusing even the exist
ence of associations whose members
made a profession of practicing the
precepts of the gospel. He spoke of
the recent tumultous demonstrations
in Spain and Portugal, which had
aroused apprehension that even worse
events were in store for italy. The
pope then alluded to the painful posi-
ton in which the papacy was kept
in Italy and referred particularly to
the divorce bill, which probably will
be submitted to parliament.

ing for Indian Lands.

Washington, April 13.-The method
OF disposing of the lands in the Kiowa
and Wichita reservations in Okla
homa, soon to be opened to home
stead entry, is receiving most careful
attention from the officials of the in
terror department. It is practically
settled that the lands will be opened
by lottery. Applicants must register
before the opening and be photo
graphed, so there will be no possibility
of transfers.
None of these lands can be obtained
as free homes. They must be paid for
by all claimants at the rate of SLIPS
per acre at the time of submitting
final proof. The law also requires five
years actual residence, cultivation and
improvement, except that honorably
discharged soldiers are given credit
for the time of their service in the
army.
