THE WORLD OVER.

For his services the chef of a big
hotel may receive $4,000 a year, big
salary for cooking, but by no means out
OF proportion to his value to the hotel.
The Greek year consisted of IL
months of 20 and 80 days alternately;
three times in eight years month was

Prosperity and happiness are not
universal. Queensland, since 1892, has
been visited with one disastrous
season after another, and this season
was the worst of all. Its 10000, 900
sheep are fed artifcially.
Gigantic water power developments
are projected in the Alps. There are
now in the French Alps 48 factories
supplied by 250,0c0-horse power, cleo
trically generated. Engineers esti-
mate that 3,OoO,o oO-horse power is now
running to waste in the Alps.
All mills in Japan run day and night
and change hands at noon and mid
night. The vast majority of millwork-
ers are children, who work II hours at
low wages. In one mill at Osaka 1900
workers are under Is years of age and
operate only $500 spindles. In this
country 300 persons operate the same
number. Take a Lowell mill of 4,061
looms, and $4,000 spindles, which are
operated by 700 males and 1,5OO fe-
males. In Japan it would take $4,000
persons to do this work

ANTITRUST REPUBLICANS.
Leader Who Strongly Favor Fife
Remedies for Oppressive
MOnopoIies.

Senator Allison and Speaker Hender-
son, respectively the republican lead
ers of the national senate and house,
stated in their speeches at Manches-
ter that they are in favor of congress
and the" state legislatures utilizing
every power for the removal of monop-
oily or its intimidation. Senator Ali
son declared that "all parties should
unite to apply every availa BILE effective
remedy for these evils when shown to
exist by means of legislation and ad-
ministration." That is the right pol
icy, in order that the people may have
still more positive proof that the OPP
ponents of republicanism are merely
using the trusts to aid their efforts to
deceive and mislead the voters. But
the people are higher and stronger
than all legislation, and the people are
the only power that can destroy the
trusts. Take the sugar trust as an
example to be legislated out of exist
ence by the removal of the duty on
raw sugars. What would be the result?
The trust would be given the advan-
tage of all the duties it now pays on
raw sugars, and every dollar of those
duties would go into the sugar trusts
treasury.
Speaker Henderson called attention
to the fact that the republicans of the
Fifty-sixth congress did everything
within their power to give congress the
constitutional rights to place every
thing made by combinations on the
free list, but the effort was defeated by
the almost solid vote of the democratic
members. He does not believe that
that would be sufficient RENE iy for
the trusts, but it will give the people
the proof that the republicans are in
favor of every movement against the
trusts and combines that will compel
them to sell their products at COM
petitive prices. The removal of duties
will only make the trusts stronger and
more profitable.
The trust "fad" is having the run of
the world, and trusts are much more
easily organized and maintained in Eu-
rope than in the United States. The
people of this country have every trust
within their power, except those pro-
tected by patent rights, and can crush
all of them by refusing to purchase
their products if they do not sell their
goods at competitive prices. This fact
must be plain to all persons who can
read and think, and the future will
demonstrate that the people crushed
the trusts by refusing to purchase
their products.-Iowa State Register.

MRS. OVERS HEART,

McCarron, Mich, Oct. 21st.-In April
last the sensational case of Mrs Sam
uel G. Dyer, of this place, was reported
in these columns. Mrs. Dyer has suf-
fered for years with very bad case of
Heart Trouble and was cured in few
weeks by Dodd's Kidney Pills.
Since then Mrs. Dyer has received
hundreds of inquiries as to her condi-
ton and many may be interested to
hear that she is at present enjoying
the best of health and has not had the
slightest return of the Heart Trouble.
Formerly she had to sit up in bed for
hours to get relief; now she goes about
as smartly as any lady of 62 years in
the State. Dodd's Kidney Pills have
made many friends in Chippewa Coun-
ty through their cure of Mrs. Dyer's
case, and have proven beyond doubt
that their cures are not only very COM
plete, but absolute and permanent.

CHAPTER XVI.

A solemn assemblage was that at
the Ermita quarters of the provost
guard the following day. Officers of
rank and soldiers from the ranks, in
rusty blue, in cleaning white, in
dingy khaki, rubbed shoulders and
elbows in the crowded courtyard.
In the presence of death the Amer
lean remembers that men are born
equal and forgets the ceremonious
observance of military courtesies. All
voices were lowered, all discussion
hushed. There was a spontaneous
movement when the division COM
mander entered and all made way
for him without word, but stur-
Oily stood the rank and file and held
their ground against all others, for
the preliminary examination, as it
might be called, was to take place
at ten o'clock.
The dead man was of their own
grade, and an ugly story had gone
like wildfre through the barracks
and quarters that his slayer was a
commissioned officer, an aid-de-
camp of the general himself, scion
of a distinguished and wealthy fam
lily of the greatest city of America,
and all official influence, presumably,
would be enlisted in his behalf.
Therefore, silent, yet determined,
were they present in strong force,
not in disrespect, not in defiance, but
with that calm yet indomitable reso-
luton to see for themselves that JUS
tice was done, that soldiers of no
other than the Anglo-Saxon race
could ever initiate, or that officers
not American could ever understand,
appreciate and even tacitly approve.
The dead man had died instantly,
not in the flush and glory Of battle,
but in the lonely, yet most honor
able, discharge of the sacred duty Of
the sentinel. Murder most foul was
his, and had he been well-nigh a
pariah among them-a man set apart
from his kind-the impulse of his fell
low soldiers would have been to see
to it that his death at such a time
and on such duty went not avenged.
AS it was, the man who lay there, al
ready stiff and cold, was known
among them as one of the bravest,
brightest spirits of their whole ar
ray, lad of birth probably moro
gentle than that of many an officer,
OF gifts of mind and character supe-
rior to those of not few superiors,
fellow who had won their fellow
ship as easily as he had learned the
duties of the soldier.

exhausted, possibly, by the excite
mentor distress-ob whatever it
was that resulted from Brent's sud-
den presentation of that carte-de-
visite. He would fly to her at once!
For third time the sentry spoke,
and spoke in no faltering tone. He
was an American. He was wearing
the rough garb of the private soldier
in the ranks of the regulars, but, like
scores of other eager young patriots
that year, he held the diploma of a
great, albeit a foreign, university.
He had education, intelligence, and
assured social position to back the
training and discipline of the soldier.
He knew his rights as well as his
duties, and that every officer in the
service, no matter how high, from
commanding general down, was by
regulation enjoined to show respect
to sentries, and this tall, handsome
young swell, with name that sound
ed utterly unfamiliar to California
ears, was in most unaccountable hur-
ry, and spoke as though he, the SEN
try, were exceeding his powers in de-
handing his name. 1t put Private
Thinking Bayonets on his mettle.
"Halt, sir!" said he. "My orders
are imperative. You'll have to spell
that NAME"
In the nervous anxiety to which
Stuyvesant was prey, the sentry's
manner irritated him. 1t smacked at
first of undue, unnecessary authority,
yet the soldier in him put the I'M
worthy thought to shame, and, strug-
Cling against his impatience, vet
most unwillingly, Stuyvesant obedi-
emily turned. He had shouldered a
musket in splendid regiment of
citizen soldiery whose pride it was
that no regular army inspector could
pick flaws in their performance of
guard and sentry duty. He had
brought to the point of his bayonet,
time and again, officers far higher in
rank than that which he now held.
He knew that, whether necessary or
not, the sentry's demand was within
his rights, and there was no course
for him but compliance. He fastened
back, and. controlling his voice as
much as possible, began:
you're right, sentry! S-t-u-y''-
when through gateway across the
street north of the Faura came
swinging into sight little squad of
armed men.
Again the sentry's challenge, sharp,
clear, resonant, rang on the still
night air. Three soldiers halted in
their tracks, the fourth, with the
white chevrons of corporal on his
sleeves. came bounding across the

THE QUIET HOUR.

When day has let her fires burn down
To glowing embers lii the west,
And busy care with folded hands
Forgets her toll and drops to rest;
When shadowy pictures come and go,
AS twilight deepens o er the plain,
And dewy silence, breathing balm,
Revives the dropping leaves again.
How sweet to worn and troubled hearts
The falling shade, the soothing power
Of ministries that nature holds
To bless US in the quiet hour.
We DC not heed them in the din
Of toll and traffic on the street;
They do not linger in the halls
Where pride of wealth and fashion meet
But, duties done, and thought released,
And daylight closing like flower,
With homes dear place enwrapping all,
How precious is the quiet hour!

SELECTS A DEMOCRAT.
President Roosevelt Shows That He
Intends to Favor the Best
Men for Office

The appointment by President Roose-
welt of a democrat t- the position o.
United States district Judge in Ala
bama should create no surprise. Of
course it is not to be intimated that the
president is a democrat, or that he
has leaning toward the democratic
party, but during his entire official ca
reer ne has been an uncompromising
advocate of the merit system in the
filling of official positions.
When he announced that it was his
purpose to give offices in the south 10
the best men, and that he would ap-
point democrats if he could not find
suitable republicans, he meant exact
ly what he said. Now, if the southern
republicans do not get offices they can
blame nobody but themselves. The
ruth is that there are few republic.
ans in the south who are fit to fill high
positions. The Leader has not hest
tated in the past to condemn and crit.
icise the republican party leaders il
that section. AS rule they are moth
ing but office brokers. Their efforts
in behalf of the republican party have
not extended beyond the caucuses and
conventions. They have traded on
their ability to control delegates to ma
t1onal conventions, but when election
day came they had no votes to return.
President Roosevelt may have an
other purpose to serve than mereI,
getting the best man for office. H.
may be seeking to precipitate politi
cal revolution in the south. No mat
ter what his purpose, however, there's
no doubt that he will be enabled to
bring about great change of sent1
ment in that section by proper exer-
else of the power of appointment

DBryan to-day is as staunch an ad-

musicians are alike received and offered
the opportunity of becoming professional
players and vocalists, with the assur-
ance that their instruction will be as
broad and conscientious as if received at
a conservatory.
In addition to the preparatory course,
there Is given normal training to those
who are sufficiently advanced, with the
expectation that graduates from that
class may be prepared to earn livelihoods
as teachers
The applicants for tuition are appor-
toned among the members of the club
in accordance with the particular instru-
ment or department Of music it is desir-
ed to learn, and after undergoing In
struction all meet at regular intervals
in the guildroom of the Art Museum,
where they are required to show by
concerted and Individual performance
the rapidity and extent of their progress.
3 Advancement from lower to higher
class is possible only after a most care
full examination, and graduation from
the 'three-year" class is the result of
a correspondingly rigid test of the pupils
accomplishments.
Besides the instruction given to enable
the pupil skillfully to perform on the
instrument itself, lectures are frequent
~ delivered on musical subjects by
Ernest r. Kroger and Mrs. Albert l..
Hughey, chairman of the "study class .
These lectures afford familiarity with
the history and theory of music, the
claims and advantages of the several
schools, and a general acquaintance
with it's artistic merits.
The national conservatory, while of
greater scope, will model it's methods of
instruction after those used in the sstudy
class" of the Musical club. Generous
support from those in sympathy with
the movement purely for its charitable
object, aid from the general treasury of
the Union Musical club and donations
from the Federation of Musical clubs, to
which an appeal will be made, Will, it
is thought, be sufficient to bring the con-
servatory into being, and continue it as
distinctive feature of st. Louis
women's philanthropy and enterprise.
So hearty was the approval Of the
idea when made the subject of several
Informal conversations among the mem
bers of the Union Musical club that it's
realization is regarded as hardly more
than an appeal to st. Louis well-known
generosity.-St. Louis Republic.
