Birth Rappers.

In some of the towns of Holland, es-
Wecially those which in past times suf-
tered much from the Spanish invaders
under King Philip III. of Spain, there is
prevailing the strange custom of an
nouncfng the birth of a child by hang
ing to the front door a rapper or knock
er, called chopper" enveloped in linen,
lace, or cloth. This usage, still observ.
ed, particularly by the patrician fami-
lies, is said to derive its origin from n
Spanish ordinance, according to which
soldiers seeking quarters were forbid
den to be billetted at houses where
newborn children had arrived. A half
wrapped up chopper" announces the
birth of n girl; one wholly enveloped
that of Il boy. Modern fashion demands
costly lace. which in some eases is in
lerited from generation to generation.
and. again. the lace employed to be
wound round the mothers wedding
bouquet is often used for this purpose.
A rapper's red shield denotes the birth
of u son; half red and half white,
that of Il Observation-Disclosures Sun.

Marriage by Assessment.

Marriage is admittedly always a haz.
ard, but in Servia it has been made the
basis of Il novel variation on the usual
modes of speculation. There societies
for providing bonuses on marriage were
formed, and fiourished to such an ex-
tent as to greatly accelerate the mar
riage rate. The funds We're obtained
on the assessment system; and, as
many members who got a bonus and Il
bride abruptly stopped their contribu-
tions, the aspiring celibate subscribers
who We're left found their obligations
Increasing more rapidly than is the ex-
%perience OF most married men. Conse.
quently liquidation has set in among
these companies with great severity.

be followed by Il slump.-London Hi

FIRST oE THE CUP RACES.
1t Is Ended by a FIuky Wind, with
the Columbia Fnr Ahead.

After having tried for five and one-half
hours to complete the first race between
Shamrock III. and Columbia for the
Americas cup, the regatta committee
fired II gun and set the signal declaring
the race off. The time limit. agreed upon
had expired, with the lightship barely in
sight. The breeze that had promised gNo-
.rious sport at the start had died away.
and the racers were left with their sails
looking like Il washday on Il man O war.
was something more than IL mile ahead
of the FURNISHED bronze challenger.
Although the first of the seasons races
for the Americas cup could not be fin.
ished within the time limit, the showing
made by the Columbia was such as to
strengthen confidence considerably in it's
ability to win. That the Shamrock IL.
is a remarkably fast. craft and a danger
Gus competitor has been demonstrated.
A new boat embodying the best skill
of its experienced designer, built without
regard to cost, trimmed into perfect
shape and carrying a spread of sail con-
siderably larger than that of the Column
bia, there was ground for the apprehcn-
sion that the Shamrock III. would not
only win, but win easily. The failure of
the Constitution and the necessity of re-
sorting to the old cup defender further
tended to weaken confidence. 1t is when
these facts are considered that the sig
niticance of the defenders achievement
is appreciated. In the windward work
to the outer mark it gained a considcra-
BILE lead and On the trip home it seems
to have held its own. if it did not actu-
ally make further gains. Thus the Co.
lumbia was about seven minutes in the
lead when the race was called off. With
the short distance which it had to cover,
it undoubtedly would have crossed the
line first had the contest continued.

pEnNsYLvAN,A.s SKY FERRIES.
Queer Transit for Miners Across the
Youxhiovheuy River.

Queer Transit for Miners Across the
YouxhioRheny River.
The sky ferry at Coultersville was
N of the first to be built across the
Youghiogheny, and it dates back to
about 1890. when eight miners formed a
stock company and built Z a machine.
The mechanism, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch, Of the affair consists Of a
cage suspended from two travelling
wheels, which run along a one-inch
steel cable stretched from bank to
bank, and frightened by means Of a
simple windlass built of timbers. The
cage will carry four passengers, and
the propelling power Of the ferry is
furnished by a windlass, which is turn
ed by the passengers and winds up a
light line, carrying the cage across the
stream.
To raise the ferry to a safe distance
above the river a platform is built. and
on this another set of machinery is
placed, so that If the ferry is ON the OPP
posite side of the river and a passenger
wishes to cross, he a wind the ma
chine over to him and then make the
trip across the stream.
The sefisatiOn of swinging out ove
the river i'll one of these ferries is rath-
err startling, a IS the machine starts out
from the bank with a swoop that car
ries it half way across, OF to the lowest
part of the slack of the cable. Then the
traveller has to wind up the windlass to
reach the other shore. No accident has
ever happened on any of these ferries.
but at Coultersville they tell a story of
a miner who, after an argument with
;his wife. in which he was getting the
worst of it," escaped to the ferry. threw
off the windlass line. and allowed the
machine to coast to the middle where
he was safe.
According to the story, and 1T loses
nothing in the telling, the woman bonn
barded him with stones for an hour,
but n woman was never noted for her
accuracy liz throwing stones, and the
man laughed at her invitation to come
ashore and take his licking like n man.
Then a new factor in the case turned
up as Il group of hungry miners reach.
ed the shore and those ON shore were
unable to reach him. By this time the
woman had become tired of her exer-
else, and the man solved the problem of
his OWL escape by falling out of the
cage into the river, to be dragged out"

Abraham I.incoln's casket was opened
Thursday and the face of the great eman-

cemetery, near Springfield. Eighteen per-

opened.
The Identification of the remains was
positive. The features are said to have
been extremely pallid, and it is said that
this condition was due to a film that
has crept over the face. The beard could
be plainly seen and the chin was promi-
nent, while the hair had begun to fall
out. The headrest had decayed, letting
the head fall back.

the clothing had commenced to fall to

Six laborers carried the box containing
the casket from the north side of the
monument to the memorial hall on the
south side. An hour later, after identi-
~fication had been made, the casket was
taken back to the north side of the mon

securing the casket under the mass of
masonry.

RICH U MEN.
Why They Are Objects of Especial
Public Attention.

Why They Are Objects of Especial
Public Attention.
One of the signs of the times-a sign
that grows more and more noticeable
as the years increases the amount of
attention paid in the public prints to
very rich young men. There was Moth
ing thirty years ago like the attention
paid nowadays to young Vanderbiits.
There are several Of them, all under
%, whose movements and intentions
ana various enterprises are as closely
followed as though they were states
men active in public life. They are all.
so far as appears, exemplary young
men and modest, yet whatever any
one of them does that is in the least
important to himself is considered to
be important to the public also.
When William comes from Newport
to New York on his racing automobile
his progress is reported from town to
town, and diligent narrators tell us not
only what time he made, but what he
had to eat and how his servant looked;
when Cornelius goes to q convention
ut Saratoga his appearance as q dele
gate is estimated to have more news"
in it and is more impressed on the pub
lie mind than any other incident of the
convention. So when he hires a big
house for the winter it is recorded in
all the papers and announced in some
of them in big letters on the front
page. When Alfred comes to town and
goes to work at a salary of 500 a
month, due note is taken of that also.
What is more, the people who read
about these young men are interested
in what they read. These young men
start in life as public characters. not by
dint of precocious achievement, but be-
cause of inherited position and inner.
tied or expected wealth. So it is with
the heirs of a few other American fami-
lies that have been very widely known
for two or three generations.
What 1t all means is that the great
fortunes of our time are recognized as
power that can be and is transmitted
from father to son. and that 1t makes a
difference which concerns the public
what sort of hands this power lodges
In. The old idea that it was only three
generations from shirt sleeves to shirt
sleeves is passing away. The great for,
tunes of our day seem exceedingly sta
BILE, and the families that control them
seem stable enough nowadays to be
compared with the more powerful fami-
lies in Europe.-FIarper's Weekly.

TO BAR OUT
President Roosevelt win Deal witb
the Question in His Message.

President Roosevelt Will Deaf with
h Question in His Message.
A Washington correspondent says it is
quite certain that one of the most impor-
tant points in President Roosevelt's COM
ing message to Congress will deal with
h suppression and prevention of an
archy and that he will urge upon Con-
gress a revision of the immigration laws
so as to provide for the exclusion from
this country OF anarchists, nihilists and
others Of that creed.
He may also urge the enactment of Il
federal statute penalizing an assault up
on the President. and Furnishing with
death, no matter where committed, such
crime, if the assault should prove fatal.
such legislation might be broadened so
as TO stamp out anarchy by proclaiming
the creed a conspiracy against the gov
eminent and providing punishment for
the preaching and practicing of 1t.
President Roosevelt talked the other
Powderly on the subject of keeping an.
archists out of this country and is gath.
ering information about the different
plans for revising the immigration laws,
SO rs to prevent the landing of the I'M
ueSlFdUle cluSSeS. Ills recommendation
to Congress will undoubtedly take the
usual form of suggesting legislation and
allowing Congress and the executive de-
partment interested to draft the laws,
but the bill that is introduced this Win
ter will have the full approval Of the
President before it is brought to the at
tention of Congress.
Commissioner Powderly's plan, when
approved by the Secretary Of the Treas
ury, will be submitted to the President
and will probably form the groundwork
for the bill to be introduced in Congress.
Both the Treasury Department and the
Department Of Justice are interested in
the suppression Of anarchy and will aid
the President in securing such llegisla-
ton against anarchy as will be effective.
