question as To whether the new Coun-.
ty officials should receive their remu-
neration in fees or salary. Judges
Archibald and Kelly decide in favor of
fees, and Judge Edwards contends for
salary.
The decisions were handed down yes
tcrday morning at the opening OF
court. Judge Archibald wrote the ma
jority opinion. A dissenting opinion
was filed by Judge Edwards.
Judges Archibald and Kelly hold that
the enumeration is not census; that
the census was not complete until it
was announced and that, as regards
the congressional act that the census
shall take effect as of June I, "thc
congress while supreme in federal ar-
fairs can not leSislate with regard 70
purely state matters"
Judge Edwards holds that the true
solution of the question is to be found
in the fact that the census was taken
"as of June /, 1900" and that the an
nouncement of the census, made on
Nov. 49, was simply the announcement
of a fact that existed June |. Before
| the nominations were made, the Judge
goes on to say, the census had been
| taken, and the candidates went into
| the campaign knowing that the popu-
| lation might be found to- be over 150,-
| 0o0, and that whatever the population
was OH june l, WoViu govern the ques-
| tlon or ices or salary. Inc mere ldCI
! that the census was announced day
before or a day after the election
should not be allowed to control such
| an important matter as this. The

NJ. Santos-Dumont's Immediate OBJ
ject has been to win the prize of 100,-
coo francs offered a year ago by NJ
Deutsch, the Rouen petroleum refiner-
The conditions required that a start
be made in the neighborhood of st.
Cloud, that the Eiffel tower be circled
three times, and that the airship then
return to its starting place at an aver
age sped of not less than thirteen
miles an hour.
More than one inventor has been
struggling under this incentive. Hence
M Santos-Dumont has been working
at the greatest speed lest he be fore
stalled, and he undertook the test at
the earlist moment. He has already
discovered several possible improve
ments which will increase the mo-
biiity and safety of the airship. The
Peutsch prize amounts to $40, 900 in
United States money.

Advertising is a mode of education
by which the knowledge of consumable
goods is increased. 1t sets forth the
peculiar excellence of novelties, keeps
in mind the merits of stap,e articles,
and thus increasss the general demand
for commodities. This method of max
ing the public acquainted with goods
has been resorted to because the mod
ern system of distribution reau res that
goods be sold in large quantities. Pro-
duction increases, competition becom es
more fierce. and purchasers must be
found Business men recognize that
advertising can increase sal by in
creasing the peoples familiarity with
goods This better knowledge not
only helps to educate the individual,
but trains him in other ways His
powers of discrimination are exercised
and developed by the necessity OF
making a choice between the articles.
Even the abuses of advertising aid him
for he learns by his mistakes. Adver-
tisement sometimes creates a demand,
sometimes directs it What greater
stimulus can there be for an inventor
than the fact that a method is in vogue
by which a useful article can be i'm
mediately placed before the public
! with the probability of large and i'm
mediate returns? Advertising fixes new
staples. Tea was one of the earlies,

the starting point, a distance of ten
miles, in forty minutes. But unfOr-
tunate1y when near home his motor
failed him and he was obliged to rip
his silken balloon to hasten descent
and avoid injury. Notwithstanding
this accident NJ Santos-Dumont's ex-
pertinent was a success in that the bal
loon navigated against the wind for
the first time in the history of airship
construction. One or two minor de-
fects which can be easily remedied in
few hours prevented the complete
carrying out of the tests, but it is safe
to prophesy that within a month NJ.
Santos-Dumont's invention will hold
as complete dominion over the air as
a ship does over the sea.

The balloon glided along toward the

obeying the will of the steerer willing

when it gracefully turned northward.

his machine until it pointed directly

HAHYLoNIAN EXPLORATIONS.
Discovery of Great Temple Library OF
City OF Nippur

Discovery of Great Temple Library OF
City OF Nippur
Prof. Hilprecht of the University of
Pennsylvania, the Babylonian explor-
er. has discovered the Great Temple
library of the ancient city of Nippur,
which was destroyed by the Elumnites
in the year 22S B. C. For eleven years
the professor has been exploring the
mounds of ancient Nippur, the city
that antedated Babylon by centuries as
the capital of Babylonia. Within the
past year he has found among those
prehistoric ruins the library of the
Temple Of Nippur. This is the first
Babylonian temple library that has
ever been discovered, and it contains
the oldest and most important records
of the earliest civilization of which
even an echo has come down to our
own age. Already $4,000 volumes
have been taken from the ruins, and it
is expected that many more thousands
will be recovered. Inscribed on clay
tablets in the cuneifOrm characters
which the explorations of Nineveh and
Egypt have made familiar to archaeo-
logical students, these literary works
of men who lived 5000 years before
the Christian era began include die
tionaries, architectural plans, histOri-
cal and chronological data, legal and
commercial as well as religious liter
allure, that bear witness to the form
and pressure of time in which Abra-
ham lived. They also show, says Prof
Hilprecht, that ages before the reputed
appearance of Adam man was not only
existing but that developed high
state of civilization, comparable in all
it's essential points with that which we
ourselves possess.

Paul KruGer'S Wife.

To his wife, who died in Pretoria a
few days ago, President Kruger of the
Transvaal attributed much of his sue
cess in the political life of the South
African republic. Mrs. Kruger was
compared in this respect to the wife
of the late Prince Bismarck. Like Mrs
Bismarck, she remained modest1y in
the background, and comparatively lit
tie is known about her. That the in
fuence of .'Tante Sante'' over the OBJ
stinate, unyielding Dom Paul was
great is, however, known, and while
Mrs. Kruger seemed to take little in
terest in politics, it is said her hus-
