The crowned heads of Europe are not finding
life as comfortable as it might be-. Emperor Will
liam sees lese majestic all about him and has had
several officers of high rank removed the charge
of being in liege with his opponents or defamers.
In address to his subjects recently he cautioned
them to be loyal to their king. Emperor Francis
Joseph is equally uncomfortable The car Of
Russia has lately been a target for several of his
Subjects the situation and conditions of affairs be-
coming so alarming that he secretly fled from St.
Petersburg for a time Hundreds of students, and
other residents, some in high Office, have been
placed under arrest during the past month"; some of
them charged with plotting tc take his life The
situation has become serious to royalty that the
station of the ordinary subject would be preferable

AMONG the few very readable magazine articles
for April is Harpers easy Chair in which William
Dean Howels discusses the deluge of trashy itera-
ture that marked the closing years of the nineteenth
century. While admitting, of course, that the de-
mand for trashy books equals the supply, Mr..
Howells takes very optimistic view of the situation
He says it is manifesty unfair to compare the
age novel published today with the average novel
published half century ago, for the author
of fifty years since worked for comparatively small
and exclusive audience while the novel of the pres
ent time is eagerly devoured by all classes society
When takes into consideration, says the author
of Lilas Lapham, that the popular reading Of yester
day was the cheap story paper and yellow-hued
novel, marves that the literature of today is not
trashy than it is He further calls attention to
the fact that book event in the days Of
Thackery and Dickens, that it not something tc
be passed over lightly, while the other hand in
1900 new book was born in America every hour Of
the day and year. Naturally the average would be
lower
Another interesting point brought forward by
Nh. Howels is the effect of udicious advertising by
author and publisher on the reading public. He
holds that if book be but loudly enough heraldeo
as the book of the hour, it will surely have ar
enormous sale, regardless Of it's real merits
Publishers realize this, and the Rockies are pla
carded with Red Pottages Green Dahlias and
Richard Carvels in consequence.
It is a state of affairs, however, says the easy
Chair" that will work out its salvation and right
itself in the long The popular novel OF today

MRS. NATION TO THE FRONT AGAIN.
During the past week: Mrs.
Carrie Nation has once more been
prominently before the public eye.
She was arrested in Kansas City,
Mo-, Sunday evening while de-
livering a temperance lecture on
a street corner, and was carried off
to the police station in patrol
wagon. She was charged with
obstructing the streets. A crowd
of more than 1000 persons were
held ll-bound by Mrs. Nation,
and all traffic was at a stand-still
in that portion Of the city until
the police interfered. Mrs. Nation
was released on a cash bond of

WHAT CARNEGIE HAS GIVEN.

W1Al OAKNEOJlE HAS OlVEN.
PROBABLY the most widely discussed and re-
spected man living today is that humbly born, self
made, Scotch American, Andrew Carnegie. Ger
tainly no man is more respected than he. Starting
life as common laborer, at wage of twenty cents
per day, he has carved his way, step by step, rung
by rung, up the rugged sleeps of fortune, until he
is now rated as the richest in the world-this
according to Americas foremost fnancier.
Having been workingman HIMSELF having
fought the good fight and struggled for existence
among the toilers, Mr.. Carnegie believes in the
future of the workingman and apparently is devot-
ing the balance of his strenuous life to the betterment
of the condition Of the man that carries the pail
The money he has given away in the past with this
end in yiew-not in charity, but as a debt he be-
eves he owes the land Of his adoptioncan scarcely
be estimated. It is the ransom of all army. His
latest gifts kept secret from the enterprisng Assoc
ated Press man until the donator was safe in mid
ocean, are of such magnitude to overshadow all
previous ones. The sum involved is almost beyond
the comprehension of the average mind. 1t is easy
to gibly talk of millions of money! but does the ia
tellect grasp the meaning of the words used? In
the majority of cases, no.
Mr.. Carnegie's most recent gifts to his fellow
workers. aggregate, approximately ST., 100000;
s. to be used for 65 library buildings in New
York City, the income of 81 100000 to be devoted to
the employees of the Pittsburg steel mills; 100000
for the purpose of maintaining the Carnegie library
Pttsburg and 900 for the erection of library
building in st. Louis. The interest on this sum
lat 5 per cent per annum amounts to $560OOO, an
income of more than 81, 800 every twenty four
hours enough to keep family from want for a
year more.
Moralists to the contrary notwithstanding,
wealth is the chief lever that moves the universe.
For the want of it nations decay and desolve and
good men stagnate and are lost. Through the
possession Of it, battles won governments rescued
education progresses art and science prospers and the
world moves on. And yet it is worthless Of itself.
No values money for the sake of the yellow gold:
bronze is much more pleasing to the eye and more
convenient to handle. It is the power, the owner
ship of human lives and human minds, involved in
gold that makes it precious in eyes. With it.
most things may be accomplished; without it,
little. In donating these enormous sums to the
workingmen Of America, that Scotchman who is not
canny has parted with equal amount of power,
placing it. for better and for all time, in the
hands of his benifciaries. Few in this prosaic
age could have performed this good deed and it is
safe to say that could have done it more
gracefully or with less ostentation.
All honor to him who does what is right for
rights sake and who takes heed of the morrow-for
his fellow man.

NO SHIRTWAISTS,

Chief Kelly of the St. Louis,
Police force has announced that
he will not follow the example of
some of his eastern brethren, and
make the shirtwaist the regulation
uniform of Sergeants and Patrol
men during the hot weather. He
says the average of compliance is
too high in the st. Louis force for
the garment in question to be be-
coming.
'How do you think a man six
feet tall and weighing PSI pounds
would look in fluffy, dimity shirt
waist; wearing a yellow silk stock
around his neck, two foot billy
in his right hand and forty-four
Colts in his hip pocket" asked
the Chief, when seen regarding the
matter. "The whole east, clear out
to the neutral territory in the
Atlantic may adopt the shirtwaist
if it wants to, but st. Louis will
stick to the blue coat and brass
buttons"

SEVERAL contributors to The MIRROR, while
able and pungent writer's, are in the habit OF apollo
giving for employing certain words by the use OF
the quotation mark This is both useless and fool
ish. To the man who wishes to express an idea
through the medium of language, there is no such
thing as slang If word is good one one which
expresses what you have to say, it by all means,
but do not make for doing so by placing it
in quotation marks. If word is vulgar and requires
an apology when introduced into decent society, it
we're better perhaps to ostracize at and hunt
about for another to take it's place.

ANOTHER GIGANTIC TRUST
RUMORED.
From London comes the news
that a great copper combination
will be the next international trust
to be organized. It is rumored that
U. S. Senator Clark of Montana,
who is now in London, went to
Europe in the interest of the
Amalgamated Copper Company
and its affiliated concerns, and
that ere he returns the American
and European copper interests
will be consolidated. AS matters
are at present the American trust
falls considerably short of con.
trolling the worlds copper output,
Spain alone producing an amount
equal to the United States.
RAJAH VICIOUS AGAIN.
Rajah, the Bengal tiger which
killed young Nelson at Bostack's
Zoo, Indianapolis, few weeks ago
and soon afterward caused panic
by getting loose in the arena, has
probably added another victim to
his list in the person Of Frank
Bostack, the Zoo proprietor. Bos-
tack was preparing for an exhibit
ton and had Rajah in the arena
trying him for the performance.
He and Captain Davy we're driv-
ing the tiger to it's cage, when
Rajah suddenly turned with a
growl, sprang upon Bostack and
bore him to the floor. Captain
called for assistance, and when the
keepers came up Rajah was tearing
away at Bostacks flesh. Keeper
Bonivita struck at him with a
club, but the animal jumped to
one side and the full force of the
blow came down on Bostack' 8
head, rendering him unconscious.
The beast now voluntarily sprung
in its cage and the door was quick
ly barred. Bostack was found to
be terribly lacerated and his re-
covery is doubtful.

The XIX Century Clubs Party Friday
Night, Swell Affair.
It was the largest party Of the
season and for that matter the
prettiest one too, that given on
Friday evening last at the Devils

ladies Of the XI Century Club.
Thecrowd was the jolly kind that
makes IN evening pleasant. The
music was furnished by Halls
Grand Forks orchestra under the
direction Of Prof. w. w. Hall,
who for about an hour gave in
structions in the twostep. There
were but few present who could
not dance all the dances and this
too, made it pleasant for the
others. The hall was neatly and
artistically decorated in the clubs
%colors, while large yellow chrisan-
themums distributed about the
hall, lent an air of cheerfulness to
