1900 strong, brings back sol men; from
100 to $50 men of each regiment were

If there is any value in the United
States statutes intended to control the
abuses of the trusts the Attorney Gen
eral is the official who must put them
in force. To appoint for this duty a
LAWYER intimately associated with the
most far-reaching OF all the trusts, and
that with the expressed approval of its
promoters. seems deliberately to identi-
fy the government with the interests
of this alarming combination in a way
that popular opinion cannot fail to re-

Kings exclusive use. His relatives

will thus be seen that kings come high.
IT is bad enough in England, but when
we take less resourceful countries like
Italy end Austria. where the luxury Of
monarchy costs double what it does in
Great Britain. while a good part of the
people are kept in rags to support it, 1t
seems shocking.-Boston Globe.

How Opinions Have Changed.

The Spaniards in Cuba want the ISL

States, it is said. The Spaniards are

when the native Cubans were the pat
riots and we went to war in their cause.

Why Hanna Opposes Change.

Mr.. Hanna objects to electing United
States Senators by direct vote of the
people. 1t is easy to understand why.
With the people electing Senators by d.
rect vote Mr.. Hanna would not be one,
two, three in the running. 1t is easier
to buy Legislature than it is to buy a
majority of a States voters, hence Mr..
Hanna prefers the legislative election
method.-Omaha World Herald.

WHY Knox Sacrificed So Mnch

Doubtless now We are to look out

The Climate of Sierra Leone.

The climate of Sierra Leone suits the
white mans four-footed companions if
possible even less than it does the white
man, for whom a night in the open air
means death within a few days. Though
there is a we'll laid out race course
with, until recently, a grand stand and
all complete, no pony will live there for
more than a few weeks or months at
the outside. 1t Is a charming climate;
your very dog will die there. A former
governor imported pair of mules from
Tangier by way of experiment, and
they too died within the year; no one
knows why, and it is all the more
strange because ponies do fairly well
at Lagos, only a few hundred miles far
Their down the coast. Field officers and
others, who elsewhere are mounted, on
the West Coast draw hammock allow
ance instead of forage, and Grand
Rounds may be seen reclining grace
fully in a hammock, borne on the heads
of four persplring negroes, on his way
TO visit the garrison guards; the spurs,
therefore, which the regulations oblige
them to wear are purely ornamental.

Quick Witted.

at was simply an exhibition OF nerve
and quick wit" said the old banker
who was dining at his club with a
number of friends mo one but the
paying teller knew what was happen
ing at the time, and what might have
been tragedy was turned into a COM
edy by his quick wit.
During the noon hour one day an
old man approached the paying teller
and presented q check for $1,000000.
With ii was q badly written letter to
the effect that IL the immediate pay
ment Of the check was not forthcoming
the teller would have his head blown
off, He was nothing but crank, but
he had come armed for business, and If
the wit Of the paying teller had failed
him for an instant there might have
been tragedy. But the paying teller
coolly took up the check, glanced at 1t
and then handed ii back with the re-
mark that the crank had neglected to
put stamp upon it. In an instant the
crank was full of apologies at his over
sight and departed to get stamp. 1t
took but a moment to notify the police,
and the crank was put where there is
no danger Of his demanding the pay
ment of any more Sl.000000 checks at
the point of gun."-Detroit Free

TeIegraphers' Grip.

Il nave lost my grip.
This phrase is applied by men to al!
Kinds of failures. One of the technical
usages Of losing ones grip is in the
case of telegraph operators.
Many Of the most skilled operators
suffer at times from loss Of the grip"
and are compelled to give way tempo
rarily to a substitute. This grip" Is
the hold on the key. and the moment
the operator begins to lose the control
Of this grip he realizes q rest, al
though for only a brief time, is due
him.
Another but unpleasant term applied
to this loss of grip" is photographers
paralysis" 1t shows itself in many
curious ways, all showing that the
muscles brought into play in working
the key are badly worn.
One of the most skillful operators In
Louisville, who is subject to these at
lacks. cannot send "P." The Morse
manual calls for five dots for this let
ter. The operator in question has by
some hook or crook lost the power to
stop at the fifth dot, and it is q COM
mon thing for him to warn the taker to
look out for his "P's."
Recently he asked a fellow operator
to watch him send "P's' and to stop
him at the end of the fifth dot 1t re-
suited that, although he would be
warned at the fourth dot, the fingers,
no longer mastered by the brain, would
continue dotting beyond the fifth

Standing Army $1,000 Men.

Washington, April 24.-It has been
determined to increase the regular
army to approximately 10000 men and
to leave it at that number unless con-
ditions in the Philippines should make
more troops necessary. The president
and Secretary Root reached this con-
clusion yesterday, and the details will
be worked out by the secretary and
Gen. Miles. The number of officers
appointed will be as originally contem-
plated. The artillery corps will be in
creased to its full strength of $4,000
men. Some time ago it was announced
contain 65 instead of 80 enlisted men,
and it is expected the infantry com
panies also will be reduced to bring
the total to the figure agreed upon.

Committed Suicide,

Utica, Mich, April 24.-Mrs. John

of this place, committed suicide yes
terday morning by cutting her throat.
She was i'll during the winter and was
heard to say some time ago that she
was afraid she would do something
she would be sorry for. 1t is thought
that temporary insanity was the
cause. She sent her daughter to a
neighbours house and then went down
in the cellar and ended her life. Mrs.
Foglesonger was about 65 years of
age. Her father is still living and is
81 years old.

No Adjournment Nay 4.

Readers Of these letters will remem-
Der that l have never shared the be-
lief that the present session of the
legislature would be brought TO an end
May 4, as provided by the senate res
olution. Every one admits now that
this will not be done AS matter of
fact, if final adjournment is reached
by May %, the legislature will be do
ing a fairly good job. There are two
things the people Of the state should
understand, and the sooner they do so
the better it will be for their peace of
mind. One is that, as long as they
require the legislature to do for the
most part work that properly belongs
to the boards Of supervisors, just so
long will the sessions of the legisla-
ture necessarily be OF from five to six
months durat ton. The other Is that
1t takes about so much money to run
the state government, and that the
biennial appropriations cannot be re-
duced materially unless some Of the
existing institutions are put out of
commission.

Bills That Will Be Modified.

The indications are that the Handy

will not become laws, at least in some

proposed changes are too sweeping.
