So far as the court was concerned it was
admirably constituted. l cannot speak
with too much praise of admiral Dewey
and of his colleagues, Admirals Benham
and Ramsay. The quick and eminently just
decisions upon some of the most embar-
RAISING questions of law that arose almost
every day were simply phenomenal. Ad-
miTal Dewey told me he came from a FAM
lily of jurists and that he had heard a
great deal of law before going to sea. This
was in answer to my question as to how
he could decide so readily upon technical
questions of law. l had no idea that the
hero of Manila had the qualifications of a
great judge without perhaps ever having
read a law book.
This sustains the general impression made
by the report of the proceedings that the
questions by the court were always very
much to the point and it's rulings eminently
fair and judicial. Mr.. Rayner speaks high
ly of the conduct of the case on the gov
ernmen side, and especially compliments
Captain Lemly. the judge advocate general.
1t may not be generally known that Capt.
Lemly was personally very friendly to Adj
miral Schley and that the part he per-
formed in the court was done as a matter

Polite Erie Commuters.

A stranger who had an appointment
to meet friend in the Chambers
street ferry house, which is used by
Erie commuters, was greatly puzzled
the other afternoon by the actions of
the men who passed the ticket taker' S
window. Nearly three-fourths of them
took their hats off to the ticket taker
in the most polite style.
. The stranger thought that possibly
the ticket takers wife was in the box
with him, and he went back to look
again. There was no one in the box
save the ticket taker, who looked
good natured, but not imposing.
When his friend arrived, the stranger
said:
Is that the president of the Erie
road in that box?'
Certainly not. Why do you ask
such question:
why, every man who passes him
takes his hat off, gives him march
ing salute and walks on.
The friend smiled pityingly at tho
stranger ignorance and said it was
trick of the Erie commuters TO carry
their tickets in the crown Of their
hats. They took their hats off so that
the agent might see the ticket.-New

time A hen flew up in his face that
day as they passed a house, and the
horse started. The wilder weighed
two hundred and dasn't jump, and
Harris wasn't the man to leave her, SO
they hung on, him tryin' to stop the
horse, and her encouragin' him. The
road was slopin' off down hillside,
and mighty dangerous, and at the foot
there was ramshackle bridge that
they had to drive down into the crick
to git over. Jest what would happen
at this point couldn't be said, but old
man Harris wasn't takin' any
chances, and bein' right spry man to
think, he told his wife to take the
reins and he would see what he could
do about stoppin' the horse. In about
two shakes of lambs tail he had the
hitchin, rope made fast to the hog In
the back OF the wagon, and then he
made moose in the other end and IN
g. throw or two he had dropped 1t over
the horses head and pulled it up snug
around his neck. Then he buckled to,
and hove the hog overheard like an
anchor, for instance, and with a drag
like that on his neck, Mr.. Hoss went
ahead about dozen jumps and begun
TO think it over. Then he concluded
to stop and rest and Harris and the
wilder got out safe enough. The hog
looked little the wuss fer wear. and
they had to wait an hour till some
body come along to help them put it
back in the wagon, but Harris put in
the time lambastin' the horse and
seemed to think it wasn't wasted. -
By this time the man in bed was
sleeping nicely, and the friends turn
ed down the light and quietly slipped
out of the room and went to their re-
spective homes.

The Duluth Herald wants the tax
commission to recommend that the
gross earnings tax be apportioned
among the various counties of the state
in accordance with the value of rail
road property in cash. This is a
scheme that Duluth and the cities have
been attempting to bring about for
years, and the Herald's reference to it
leads the Madison Independent-Pre
to remark that the ''tax commission,
ought to pay no attention to the ques-
ton of railroad taxation. A settlement
of that question is now pending and
the whole matter ought to be fought
out along the lines already adopted. 1t
may take years to do it, but in the
end the people will be wiser if nothing

TO SUE THE w. u.
The State Will Try to Collect $4,000
Back Taxes.

st. Paul, May 2S.-The Weston
Union Telegraph company will soon
be defendant in an action brought by
the attorney general to enforce the
payment of SAT, 900 back taxes. The
company claims that the assessments
of 1899 and 1900 were excessive, and
has refused payment. Under the Pet
erson act, passed last winter. the state
is empowered to bring a civil action
to enforce payment of the tax in any
county in the state. The papers have
been prepared and the complaint will
be filed early next week. The action
will be brought in the district court of
Ramsey county.
The company will offer to pay the
tax on basis of the old valuation.
They will probably be permitted to
pay such an amount on account, leav-
ing the payment of the rest to be de-
termined by the courts.

Olives.

The olive tree in its wild state is a
thorny shrub or small tree, but when
cultivated becomes tree 90 to 40 feet
high, with no thorns 1t lives to a
good age. The leaves resemble those
of a willow, the flowers are small
and white and grow in clusters as
grapes do, and the fruit is greenish,
whitish, violet or even black in color
and generally oval in shape. 1t is
produced in great profusion, so that
an olive tree becomes very valuable to
its owner.
Among the Greeks the olive was
sacred to Minerva, the goddess of wis
dom. 1t was also the emblem of pur-
ity. A crown of olive twigs was the
highest honor that could be bestowed
upon Greek citizen. An olive branch
was also the symbol of peace, and the
vanquished who came to beg for peace
bore olive branches in their hands
The American olive is remarkable
for the hardness of its wood. 1t is
found as far north as Virginia. It's
fruit is fit for use, and its flowers are
fragrant.
The fragrant olive of China and
Japan has extremely fragrant flowers,
which are used for favoring tea.

Mrs McKinley's comfort was felt in
crossing the dry, hot and dusty plains
of Nevada, but there was a most re-

completely laid the dust and cooled
the air, so that the trip was made
without any discomfort to the party

The dismissed cadets at West Point
are not disposed to take their dismissal
and suspension in good grace, and
complain that they have not been used
as they ought to have been. James A.
Shannon of Duluth, who was one of
the members suspended, reached Wash
ington Saturday, and at once secured
an audience with Secretary Root and
made lengthy statement of his side
of the case, which was listened to very
attentively by the secretary. At its
conclusion Shannon was politely but
firmly informed that so far as the war
department was concerned the action
in the West Point cases was final and
would not be reopened. 1t is prob
able that the West Point Cadets will
find that the authorities at Washing
ton mean business in the policy to be
maintained toward that institution
and that the public endorses it.

1t looks as though Senators Tillman
and McLaurin had played the Conk-
ling-Platt act, and would be served in
the same way. 1t is said there is a
revulsion of feeling setting in against
them on the part of the public, and
already a growing disposition to fill
their places with other men. Some
sympathy is expressed for McLaurin,
but none for Tillman. His bulldozing
methods are no longer relished even by
the south. Last year out of less than
one hundred thousand votes cast in the
primaries on the senatorial question,
over thirty thousand scratched Till
man, and there is general hope ex-
pressed that he will be scratched on a
majority of the tickets this year. Nc
Laurin will contest with him for the
long term. South Carolina will not
lose anything in this little scramble if.
as result Tillman should be dropped
into oblivion. He is hardly repre-
sentative of the new south.

THE. SOUTHERN PROBLEM.
The Opinion of an Eastern Man as 10
How il is Working Out
Minneapolis Journal

Minneapolis Journal:
Abram Furness, a Boston railroad
contractor who has been working in
the south for several months, princi
pally in Georgia and Alabama, has
had abundant opportunity to study
the negro character as developed south
of Mason and Dixon's line. At the
Hotel Nicollet today, Mr.. Furness
spoke in enthusiastic terms of Booker
T. Washington and Horace Bumstead,
two earnest men who seem destined
to revolutionize the conditions of their
race in the country.
Mr.. Furness says that Horace Bum
stead is putting his very life blood in
to the work of maintaining Atlanta
university, which for more than a
quarter of century has stood as a
beacon light for the colored men of
America Mr.. Bumstead believes in
higher education for the colored people
of the whole country. 1.-The work at
Tuskagee, says Mr.. Furness, lis I'M
doubtedly what is most needed for the
colored masses, but the work being
done at Atlanta university touches the
peaks of educational advancement.
There a select few are prepared to go
OuO ihUo ohO WOIlo " OO1Oh ULC u uC
gospel Of higher education, of develop
ment. mental, moral and physical to
their colored brothers and sisters. !"
One graduate of that institution, Rob
ert Lloyd Smith, has trained 800
teachers for the state of Texas besides
exercising strong influence on the
different communities in the state
Mrs. Julia Ward Howe once made an
eloquent appeal, for Mr.. Bumstead, "
says Mr.. Furness. 'She was address
ing Boston audience. She recalled
visits to Hampton institute, on the
first of which she had found General
Hampton vigorous and active man
and on the second of which she found
him broken paralytic. Then turn
ing to Bumstead's work she said with
fervor: oh, men and women of Bos-
ton, do not let Horace Bumstead die in
the same way
"The endowment so greatly needed
has not yet come, but the wearisome
hunt for money keeps up just the
same. 1t does seem as if some of the
rich men of the country could come to
the relief of this splendid institution
and perpetuate their names by liv-
ing monument.
Mr.. Furness says that businss condi-
tions in the south are favorable and
that the era of cotton mill domination
in the southern states to the ultimate
undoing of all of New England great
factories is as certain as the rotation
of the seasons
