A characteristic story regarding Eugene
Field is just now going the rounds, 1t
appears that some years ago when the
children's poet was in London, he met
Mrs. Humphrey Ward, another of Roberl
Elsmere and other tremendously philoso-
phical novels. Learning that he, was
from a place called Chicago, the gifted
lady's interest in him was awakened.
She studied him as if he were a Marian
or the original wild man from Borneo,
and when he took her out to dinner bare
" touched his arm. However, noticing
that he used a fork and understood what
a napkin was for she thawed out sufti-

BANK CHECK STAMPS.

Lincoln, the Washington correspond
ent of the Boston Transcript, in a letter
TO that paper, calls attention to what
appears to be an unnecessary hardship
missioner of internal revenue that
check books in which the revenue stamps
have been imprinted must be turned
into the treasury in order to get the re-
bate on the unused stamps.
In Butte as elswehere the banks have
handsomely Autographed checkbooks.
Of which. in spite of all calculations
when the new law goes into effect on
July /. Many think that the internal
revenue Office should be authorized to
take these books cancel the stamps and
return the books for use. 1t appears,
however, that the commissioner is not
really to blame in the matter as the law
is mandatory, leaving no other course
open to him.
The banks, it is pointed out in connec-
ton with this order, have given the gov
eminent minimum of trouble and cost
In the collection of its revenue No othe,
tax is collected so cheaply as that or

Recently the representatives of the
Beers brought suit in the superior court
a. New Orleans to prevent the further
shipments of American mules and horses
TO South Africa for the use of the Brit
ish army. Just why such an action was
bought is not clear, as the sale and
shipment of the animals was plainly
within the rights of the people selling
and did not violate any law or treaty.
Notwithstanding that the same right
was repeatedly offered to the Beers, the
democrats attempted to make political
capital out of the matter during the
campaign, and this suit was possibly
lrought at that time for political effect.
Hhe court has, of course. dismissed the
suit. the decision being handed down
this morning. This result was foregone
conclusion and will probably neither
surprise nor disappoint the democratic
politicians.

The railroads are always among the

the condition Of affairs in this country.
A few years ago, at the close of the
Cleveland administration. scores of the

pended for additional rolling stock and

time comes the announcement that the
Northern Pacific has decided to spend
this year upwards of $4,000. 900 for bet

northwest and the prosperity of the
country justifying the step. 1t is in line
with the policy of other companies all
over the United States.

and proprietary taxes is here saved. for
the banks pay for their own check
books. and the stamp is a part of the
general imprint. What is more. the
agents stationed by the internal revenue
office with each contractor who is au-
thorized to print check books. are paid
for by the contractor who must in turn
assess this cost upon their check-book
customers Then. the detective work in
the case of this tax costs the government
nothing. The banks themselves see to
it that all the paper passing over their
counters is properly stamped whereas
in other revenue lines the watchfulness
of government agents must be unremit-
ting. III these circumstances, many
persons regret that the check stamps
have been removed. 1t is probable that
when the government needs new reve-
be one of the first things Uncle Sam
will reach out for. 1t is a notable fact
that those who have paid the most in
these check stamps have had the least
to say in opposition to their continuance:
the business interests of the country, as
whole, have been exceedingly patriotic

tax. Several commercial bodies voted

peal the tax. Facts in this line taken

AUSTRALASIA DECLARES FOR
PROTECTION.

The Australian commonwealth viii
shortly declare itself for protection, as
the preliminary step in that direction
has already been taken. The two great
states of the commonwealth We're d.
vided on that issue, and in the recent
legislative election Victoria was swept
by the protectionists, while New South
Wales returned a majority of sO-called
free traders. Queensland followed the
lead of Victoria, and New South Wales
stands practically alone for free trade
There will be a fight in the legislature
but it can only end one way according
to those familiar with the situation, and
that is in a complete victory for the
principles of protection.
1t could, indeed, scarcely be otherwise,
because in spite of the free trade seni-
ment there, New South Wales has ali
along followed the protection idea in
practice, employing the so-called mod
crate tariff"
The Australian commonwealth is a
great country but yet not great enough
to bear the burden of the British free
trade idea.

Some Of the papers are having con-
siderable fun over the entrance of
Honore Palmer into Chicago politics,
and they appear to see something in
expressibly ludicrOus in his election as
an alderman. That is a very strange
way of looking at it. Mr.. Palmer is q
young man of university training, of
considerable capacity. who is ambitious
to make for himself an honorable name.
1t should be a matter of congratulation
to Chicago that such man is willing to
give his energies and ability to such a
position, and it would doubtless be a
good thing for the country if that spirit
prevailed to greater extent in all the
| cities. Perhaps Chicago is proud of its
aggregation of Doodle aldermen and
does not wish to see the Bath house
Johns and Hinky Drinks replaced by any
higher type of officials.

CHURCH-GOERS DEMAND
CHANGE.

The members Of the congregation Of q
New Brunswick, n. j.. Methodist church
have hit upon a novel plan for increas-
ing intere,t in their services But the
plan has more than novelty to commend
it. From time inmemorial. the congre-
cation has listened to ''doctrnal dls
courses and sermons on themes with
which they We're entirely familiar. or in
which they had little interest. Now they
have concluded that the minister should
preach on topics suggested by them
selves.
The first sermon on this plan will b.,
delivered tomorrow morning the subject
having been suggested by manusac-
turer. as follows: why is. our city SO
slow, since it is the largest in the central
part of the state and the third to be or
ganized, and yet lies dormant?"
1t is said that the forthcoming dis
course is looked forward to with more
interest than any ever delivered in the
city within the memory of the Oldest
inhabltant.
The plan threatens to become ex-
tremely popular in the east. Perhaps
the church goers have laid hold of Il
thought of Emerson, who said:
The opinions of men lose all worth
to him who perceives that they are ac-
curately practicable from the ground OF
their sect Nothing is more rare, in any
man, than an act of his own. The clergy
are as like as peas. I cannot tell then
apart. 1t was said: They have bron-
chitis because they read from their
papers sermons with a near voice, and
then, looking at the congregation. they
try to speak with their far voice, and the
shock is noXious. l think they do this,
or the converse of this. with their
thought. They look into Plato, or into
the mind, and they try to make parish
mince meat of the amplitudes anI
! eternities, and the shock is noXious L.
is the old story again: once we had
wooden challices and golden priests. now
We have golden challices and wood n
priests.
That may apply to the east, and tne
change originated in New Jersey may

here. In the west the ministers are thc

SYMPTOMS OF SPRING.

Nor has the grass yet carpeted the earth

people of the city chose him to be their

give that up by electing him to the bench
of the superior court, a tribunal half way
between the circuit and common pleas
courts. He was about thirty when the
late Benjamin Harrison, beckoned the
young man to take the very responsible
position of solicitor general for the Unit

that office while as young as Billy Taft,
the son of Judge Alphonso Taft, cabinet
officer and minister to Russia. Just be-

THE MESSAGE IN THE BOTTLE.

How many stories have been built
sage thrown into the sea! 1t has fur
nished the theme for more blood stirring
tales of adventure than almost anv
other imaginary incident, and the mas
tiers of fiction have not disdained to use
it on a pinch.
Occasionally, too. the message lin the
bottle has been the medium for an
nouncing some real tragedy of the deep,
and that such a message would stand
a good chance of being found has just
been demonstrated.
Nearly ten years ago Miss Griffith of
Newark. while returning from a visit I,
England. wrote this message upon a slip
of paper, placed it in a bottle and turned
it adrift in the Atlantic:
Miss Ada l. Griffith Mount Prospet1
avenue Newark. N. .,J will pay 81 for
the return of this telegram.
For over nine years the bottle floated-
about in the ocean and finally lander
upon the bleak shores of far-away Nor
way. Miss Griffith. who had forgotten
the incident last week received the fol-
lowing message. dated at kristian-
sund, ~:
Norway. March 81.
Dear Madam: My reason for address
ing you is the interesting find of the
| inclosed telegram. which apparently you
desire returned to you. 1t was picked
up at sea in a bot lie by poor Norsk

and thankful to receive the kind reward.
If you care to send it through me, l Will

tain signed acknowledgment from him.
1t would be very interesting at tn
same time to hear in what year (untor
tunately ilegible) this telegram was
consigned to the sea and where dropped
