The Washington memorial institution was incorporated last spring to meet the need of an organization through which qualified students everywhere could learn what opportunity for study and research were open to them in Washington.
 The trustees of the Washington Mem orial Institution includes representa- tives of universities. scientific schools, land grant colleges and scientific bureaus of the government At their head is for mer President Gilman of Johns Hopkins It is understood that MT. Carnegie's offer is to place at the disposal of such an in- stitution as this the sum of $10,0000oo with the understanding that it is to have the sanction and supervision of the na- tional government in much the same way that the government sanctions and supervises the Smithsonian Institution with its endowment of $1,000,00O It is not proposed that the government shall have any active part in the control of the institution, although the President, doubtless ex-off1cio. would be at its head and there would be United States sena- tors and representatives ex-ofticio on the board of trustees.
 The students enjoying the advantages of the institution will in many instances be candidates for higher degrees at Am erican and foreign universities who are carrying on their studies in whole or in part in Washington. Others will be those engaged in special lines of investiga- tion-history, diplomacy. social physical and natural science. The institution will be an aid and adjunct to universities established, adding to their facilities the educational resources of the government.
 The national university scheme reviv- ed by Senator Depew has nothing to do with the Carnegie project and can have nothing to do with 1t. The Depew scheme, with it's corps of professors and instructors, its great buildings and all the appurtenances of great university is consistent with the Carnegie proposi- tion.
 The President will explain the scheme fully in a message soon to be submitted to Congress.
  he found them to answer accurately to Kiplin's description-"h devil and half child"
 Congressman Weeks, another member of the iunketing party, coincides with the opinion expressed by the Missourin, to the extent of holding to the necessity for governing the Philippines with the strong hand.
 Our own John Wesley Gaines the vol ube member from the Nashville district who lent dignity and tone to the Con- gressional expedition, is yet to be heard from Until he shall speak we cannot know what to think of the contract we have undertaken in those strange isles of the Orient, But we have the satis- faction of knowing that when he shall have spoken nothing will be hidden from us.
 Hence, wherefore and for which req son, we insist that John Wesley unlim- ber his strangely-inactive talking appar- atus at once. The S0,OOO 900 of Americans who are waiting on him may burst if kept in suspense much longer.

Economy in Hlaher Life.

The presiding genius of one of the most expensive dining rooms in Birming ham was discussing his patrons with friend.
 q have patrons here" said he, who never get anything but a cup of coffee or a salad at most, but then you see they are never seen anywhere else ex- cept, perhaps. to order the same thing in some place where the prices even top ours Yet such people are persons of small means whose social prestage depends largely upon their being seen frequently at such places and such only. It is factor in their financial credit as well.
 ''They can't of course live on coffee and rolls, but the way they manage Is this-they fend for themselves in pri- vate-devour frankfurters and rye bread behind locked doors-expensive rooms, mind you-but to the world they live in style, and they keep stiff upper lip eveu if no dinner has passed 1t in days
 Why, l know couple who dress in the perfection of style, live in the fifties just off the avenue, and are often seen here-usually for the stereotyped coffee and rolls, once in great while salad or chop-I happen to know that woman gets her breakfast and her husbands over twenty-five cent gas stove, and what they don't get here or in some similar place they eat in that fashion in their rooms. Of course they dine out a great deal; they go everywhere.
 "The man holds rather prominent though poorly paid position; the wife is a general favorite, they dress perfectly .(to do which, of course, rigid economy must be practiced sonewhere) and they are seen at all the small and selects None of their friends of course, are ac- quainted with these domestic details, and indeed they came to my knowledge in the most unexpected way"

Bad Treatment of Americans.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 10.-Ed. ward King, an American, formerly brakeman on the Mexican Central railroad, left to-day for the City of Mexico for trial on April 1E, having been on parole.
 Like fifty-three other Americans now in jail in the City of Mexico, King is the victim of the law that calls for the arrest of the entire crew of any train in case Mexican is killed in wreck. Since November 13, last, he has been in the stockade. He obtained parole aud coming to the United States laid his case before Secretary Hay at Washing ton.
 Secretary Hay, he says, advised him to honor his parole, go back aud wait for trial. Kings case had already been postponed several times and he fears it will not come to trial on the date mentioned. If there is no trial Secretary Hay promised to take action in his behalf.
 "I am afraid they will treat me more severely than others when I gel back, !" said King. If get no help ] will starve to death. Our fare is tor tillas, sort of corn cake, beans aut coffee. For over two months livec on it. As far as that goes, we in the City of Mexico are not so, badly of al the 15 poor fellows in the salt mines O Saltesno, 400 kilometers north of there They have been working under ground four years and have never seen the SUI in all that time."

 Those ambitious little cities that think their fortune will be made if they can get q State prison, or re- formatory, or an insane asylum locat- ed in their territory will do well to consider the painful history of Sing Sing, N. Y. Sing Sing was the first village in Westchester county to be in- corporated That was in 1913. In 1924, by great efforts, it's citizens succeeded in getting the ia nous State prison To- cated there. At the present session of the New York Legislature, however, i, the inhabitants of the town came up with pitiful plea to have the name changed to 0ssining, without change in the official na me of the prison. They explained that the name of the town was considered throughout the United States as synonymous with that of the prison. No manufacturer would put up works there because his goods would be regarded as "prison-made | goods" Citizens travelling elsewhere were constrained to lie when asked where they came from, else they were under suspicion of prison record. The other towns of Westchester county have made phenomenal progress for
 
 the past ten years, but under the blight 1 of the prison name Sing Sing has de creased in population by 1,Sl3. The Legislature sympathized, and granted the request. Sing Sing town is now Ossining, but the lesson remains.

Railroad Rumors.

Rumors regarding the purchase of the A. & 5. by the s. P. Co. are rife, Anent the same the Star says it is given out on good authority that the Copper Queen company is considering the sale of the Arizona and Southeast ern railroad. This is the line which extends from Benson to Bisbee. This sale is contemplated for two reasons. A good cash offer has been made for the road and the company is now build- ing its eastern extension to El Paso, which will render this road unneces- sary to the company. The company that offers to purchase this road offers as its price the cost of construction and equipment and will make it a part of it's own system. Who this pro- posed purchaser is not yet been made public, but it is supposed to be eithe T the s. P. Co. or the Rock Island. The latter, which is now pushing right into Arizona and for the Gulf of California and the Pacific coast. One thing ap- pears evident, there is to be an era of railroad building in Southern Arizona which is going to make business very active aud the increase of population very rapid and large.

THE Spaniards are said in some respects to be the best irrigators in the world to-day. They have irrigated the same lands for over three thousand years. They were past masters at the art when Caesar conquered their coun- try, and they have been constantly improving and extending their works. All the irrigation works of the king dom are under government control and supervision, and there is no conflict of water rights or titles. In this re- spect old Spain is far ahead of the United States. Since the loss of her island possessions, Spain has been enlarging and extending her irrigation area.

The Clifton Era says: The first cop per produced in Arizona was smelted in an adobe smelter on Chase creek in the early 70's. The first railroad built and operated in Arizona was laid in 1879 from the present works to the Arizona Copper company to the foot of the incline at Longfellow, distance of about four miles. The engine which by the way, was the first 20-inch gauge engine ever constructed in Amer ica-was hauled in wagons from La Junta, Colorado, a distance of 500 miles.
