Prooress of the Associations BlIi.

The bill to regulate-to suppress in fact-the French religious orders still hangs fire in the Senate where it IS encountering much opposition. But the government is pressing it, and there is a prevalent belief that it will command a good majority in the final vote.
 It remains much the same bill. The confiscatory clause has been dropped by general consent, but otherwise 1t stands unchanged. All orders, whose members live in common, having for eign connections-and the aged Pope is considered in that light-are to be brought under the control of the gov ernment. Limitations are placed by it upon the right of association, and upon the accumulation of wealth by associations.
 Premier Waldeck- -Rosseau explained not long ago what he meant to be the object of the bill:
 ''The question is the rendering free, and subje: :t only to the common law, all the associations which are in themselves law full as regards the safety of the state. An- other object Is to cope with the peril which arises from the continuous develop ment in a Democratic society of an organ ism which, according to the famous defi- hilton, tends to introduce into the state under the spacious veil of a religious in stitution a political corporation the ob- feet of which is to arrive first at com plete independence and than at the usur- patton of all authority"

Referendum in South Dakota.

South Dakota is an advanced and wide-awake state, and the people of that state tiring of clique rule, have adopted the Swiss law that requires any law to be submitted to the people, provided 5 per cent of the people ask for such a submission within ninety days from the adjournment of the Legislature.
 The law is popular, but thus far it has not been applied to any law. The ninety-day period expired on June 6, and up to that time the best efforts of the opponents of two bills could not secure a petition of per cent of the voting population. One of the obnox- ious bills was of a partisan nature which the Populists had opposed with no little bitterness, and yet the Popu- lists, who are very numerous and well organized in South Dakota, would not sign the needed petition.
 The other bill provided for the col lection of all back taxes, and a host of farnfers are interested in it, and op- posed to it's provisions, and yet they refused to furnish the required 5 per cent. Four per cent was secured, and there the effort was stopped.
 The South Dakotans like the law, but they evidently do not propose to apply it to small measures. It is in fact club hel9 over the heads of the politicians, and as such it is very val uable. The people of South Dakota are in fact using the referendum very wisely, and no man in that state is calling for it's repeal, although many politicians secretly desire its removal, for it cripples and modifies not few of their schemes.

HISTORIC RELICS.
rom the London Express.

From the London Express.
 The general lack of picturesqueness about the present day mail attire is fre- quently lamented. yet how many people are aware that he average man carries on his coat at least two historical relics, one of which dates back to feudal times?
 This relic of the times of William the Conqueror consists of the two buttons worn at the back of morning or frock coat. The buttons are, of course useless for any practical purpose, and. inasmuch as they are certainly not decorative, you may naturally ask what they are there for.
 SartoriaI historians now tell us that these two buttons come down to us from the sword-bearing age, when they were placed at the back of the coat for the purpose of supporting a. sword belt, which, together with the sword, has long since been discarded, save by military men, the sole remaining evidence of it's existence being the two buttons. Thus, to this day they remain on our coats as mute witnesses of the days that are gone
 The other historical relic which still survives in our modern coats is the nick in the lapel.
 Though you have been wearing coats and waistcoats ever since childhood's early days you have probably never thought to inquire whether or not there is any reason why tailors should con- tinue to make this nick
 It is now recalled by sartorial experts that when Napoleon first felt the sway of boundless ambition he tried to impll- cate General Moreau in Pichegreu's con spiracy.
 AS you will doubtless remember. Mo- reau had been the man of destinys rival and was an exceedingly popular soldier but, in the circumstances, with le petit corporal in power, 1t was not safe to publicly express sympathy with Moreau{ So 1t came about that his admirers and supporters secretly agreed to nick their coat lapels to show their fellowship, the outlines of the coat, after the cut had been made, forming the letter M.
 It would be interesting to learn if men carry any other marks about their dress which have historic origins or associa- tions.
 Our dress. after all, has been evolved from that of those who have lived be- fore us

Sso,ooo FOR TWO TREES.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
 A woman of means who owned a hand some country house on the Hudson was very fond of two beautiful beech trees which stood near her residence. A few seasons ago she bought house at New port, and decided that thereafter she would spend her summers at that resort of fashion. Accordingly she sold her place on the Hudson; but in parting with 1t she could not bear to leave behind her favorite beeches. She consulted a firm engaged in the business of moving large trees, and they undertook the task of transporting the two full-grown beeches from Eastern New York to Newport.
 The undertaking was carried out with great care; the trees were taken up, placed on scows, carried down the Hud- son and up Long Island Sound to New port, where they were set up before the woman's new residence quantity of the soil of their former home had been brought along to sustain them until they should become accustomed to their new surroundings, and the trees received every reasonable care and assistance The ex- pertinent was complete success. The moving of these two trees is said to have cost their owner s30.000, and the feat is probably the long-distance record for the transplanting of trees

well settled that the mosquito Is not great traveller. If you take care Of your own block, you will be pestered with but few mosquitoes. As a rule the flight of the mosquito Is limited to 300 feet. In order to free your lot from mosquitoes, you must see that your own lot holds no stagnant water, and also that the alley lots behind you have none.
 There are some unoccupied lots, owned by non-residents, or more likely by corporate or careless residents, and these the health officials should at tend to. These together with few sluggish streams need attention, and the>cost all told would not be $100. There is no reason why this town should not be rid of the pests. They have not yet arrived, and prompt &C., tion could keep them off altogether. Nature never intended Jones Valley to be the home of the mosquito, and it was not one of it's haunts until the neg lect of slovenly and unintelligent men made it a breeding place of such nui- sances. The dangers of stagnant water under burning sun are imper- fectly understood and estimated. Many of our ills come from it.

JACKSONVILLE GIVEN A SCARE.
Dangerous Fire Started in Business
 Portion of the Town.


 Jacksonville Fla. June 17.-At an early hour this morning the Modelo building. at the corner of Clay and West Bay streets, was discovered to be on fire. The building Is occupied by the Jacksonville Knitting Mill.
 The fire department was in East Jack sonville fighting a small fire there and the response was slow. In the meantime locomotives in the yards were arousing the town with series of whistles and in a few minutes West Bay street was full of excited and panic-stricken people. When the department arrived flames were bursting from many windows. Merchants and residents in the neighborhood began moving their stocks and furniture. The department kept the flames confined, how ever. and in an hour the fire was under control.
 The building is owned by R. c. Foster. It Is estimated the damage to the build ing will amount to s10,000. the knitting mill s10,0O0, to the Three Brothers Cigar Company $6000. and other companies, which include Hanne Brothers, wholesale liquor dealers, about $10,000.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
It Will Make Vigorous Inquiry Into
 Prices of Exported Goods.

Washington, June IT. = The industrial commission has decided to make vigor- ous inquiry, by means of circular letters, into the charge that exporters of Ameri- can-made goods often sell them for lower prices than are asked for similar goods at home, and a resolution was adopted today requestion from the business inter ests of the United States a full and frank statement covering the efforts made to extend consumption of products to for eign markets.
 The secretary of the commission was instructed to prepare letter to manufac- turers indicating the information desired and asdng, among other questions, whether they sell their goods at over pricle abroad than at home, and if so, requesting them to give reasons for this course. The letter will also ask for sug- gestions for securing better prices abroad for American goods.

THE TRUE STORY OF THAT
 FABULOUS SCHWAB SALARY

assure me of a salary of $1,OO0.O00 a year for five years. went to see Mir Carnegie about the matter, and said that in my opinion it was impossible that the servi- ces of any one ntan in any business, how ever profitable, could be worth million dollars a year. He replied that that was not the point. That his chief purpose in life was to distribute his wealth accord ing to the plan he believed proper He insisted upon my signing the contract, and that's how came to be receiving a salary of $1,00OOOO year
 "I told MT. Schwab." continued Mir. Morgan, that had never heard of any such salary as that, and that to assume the contract. along with the other obli- gations of the Carnegie interests, might, in all probability be impossible to the new corporation He drew a paper from his pocket and said: MT. Morgan, here is my contract It calls, as you will see for S1,00O,O0O a year for five years. It has been in force for two years. and in that time I have drawn only $200,000 against my salary account. I am fully aware of the fact that sentiment, and not busi- ness led Mir. Carnegie to draw that con- tract. I appreciate now that 1t offers an obstacle to this project, which is vastly favorable to the Carnegie interests and directly in line with the personal desire of MT. Carnegie to be relieved of business responsibilities. You need not hesitate on account of this contract. There Is an easy way to settle that natter
 ''Thereupon," continued MT. Morgan, MT. Schwab tore the contract to pieces before my eyes. He remained in the of- flee for half an hour after that talking over the details of the proposed organiza- tion.
 ''I felt it my duty to detail to Mr. Car negie the scene in my office, when the contract was destroyed. He smiled, and said that there were few men in the world like Schwab. T don't propose he shall lose anything by what he has done, said he. I shall send him my check for the amount he lost when he destroyed the contract MT. Carnegie drew his check for $4,S00O0O and sent to MT. Schwab, with a note explaining his understanding of the transaction in my office. That I be- lieve, Is the basis for the stories we hear of the enormous salary paid to Mir. Schwab by the new corporation. As a matter of fact, his salary as president of the corporation is not larger than that of good many railroad presidents .

Dancer in Staqnant Water.

In the absence of a city appropria- ton for that purpose the Health Con- missioner of Baltimore, aided by a councilman, is conducting volunteer movement against the mosquito. They appeal to each lot holder to buy gill of kerosene, price cents. and to throw it upon the surface of any stagnant water in their block or neighborhood. This should be repeated every two weeks, and even then the cost would not be as much as a net for the baby's crib.
 It is we'll settled that kerosene prop erly applied forms an evenly spread scum on the water that is death to young and wingless mosquitoes and also to the egg layer herself. It is also

 ness sprang To strike you in the face with tooth and

 hour, Guarding the Kremlin by the northern
 tower, When To! half-bare beggar tottered

 blast, A heap of misery. he drifted by. And from the heap came out broken
 cry. At this the watchman strengthened with
 a start; An old dear sorrow rushed upon his heart The thought of his dead father. bent and
 old, And lying lonesome in the ground so cold. Then quick the watchman cried out at
 his post: Little father, this is yours-you need 1t

 man. r That night the piling snows began to fall, And the good watchman died beside the
 wall But waking in that better land that lies Under the greater stars that are Gods
 eyes, Behold! the Lord came out to greet him
 home Wearing the coat he gave by Moscow's
 dome Wearing his coat. the very coat he gave By Moscow's tower before he felt tho

 stirred. Cried softly with wonder in his word And where. dear Lord, found you this
 coat of mine, A thing unfit for glory such as Thine?" Then the Lord answered. with a look of

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 An extraordinary set of circumstances were encountered by MT. J. Pierpont Nor gan when he set about the organization of the billion-dollar steel trust, and one in- cident, which has just come to light, dis plays MT. Charles M. 5chwab, president of the combine, in an attitude which Is unique in the worlds history of finance.
 Mir Schwab entered the employ of Mir. Carnegie as an office boy. He gained the absolute confidence of his employer and was intensely loyal to him, even when enormous financial Inducements tested that loyalty. Recently. during a casual discussion of business affairs with a friend MT. Morgan was called upon to ex- press an opinion as.to the sencerity of MT. Carnegie's declaration that he believed it wrong for man to die rich.
 ''I believe" said Mir. Morgan, that Car negie is absolutely sincere in what he says on that point, and I think his actions prove It. Let me tell you about one thing he has done. When the organization of the United States Steel corporation was about to be effected, met Mir. Schwab at my office to discuss the status of the Car negie holdings.
 "It was then expected that MT. Schwab might be elected president of the corpo- ration, but there was no definite conciu- sion on that point. MT. schwab astounded me by telling me that he was receiving a salary of s1,o0o,000 a year, as president of the Carnegie companies. T know no man can be worth that much salary said he, but I'll tell you how it happened that such salary was given me- About a year before the reorganization of the Car negie interests, or about two years ago, was offered astonishing1y liberal terms to sever my connection with the Carnegie interests and take charge of some large manufacturing intereyts in Germany. I was receiving what regarded to be lib- eral salary from MT. Carnegie, but it was small compared with what the Germans offered me in the way of salary and in- terest in prospective profits. Neverthe-1 less. I declined the German offer in or der to continue my connection with the Carnegie interests, with which I had been so long identified. I said nothing to.Mr. Carnegie about the matter. However it came to his ears. and one day was as- founded to receive from him blank con- tract which needed only my signature to

Patriotism and Party.

'The future is bristling with difficult ties" said Colonel Herbert in his master full speech before the great meeting in Washington; ''but novel, complex, and varied as are the problems now before us, I believe we will be equal to their sol,i- tion. Yet this can only be if we shall rise to the level of our duties. The past is full of warnings. Let us not forget that 1t is public opinion that shapes and fashions our policies and passes upon problems. Our reliance must be upon a broad, healthful conservative, liberty loving public sentiment that shall pervade all classes and permeate every station of life.
 ITO create and maintain in perpetual activity such a sentiment, we need the help of all educated, capable, thinking men, men who shall at all times and everywhere teach what 1t Is that our flag stands for. 1,iR2
 Let them teach that to our free insti- tutions, giving ample scope to all our en- ergies, we are indebted for our happi- ness and prosperity; that to these instl- tutions we owe the glories of the past and to them i've must look as our hope for the future.
 ''Let them teach that in every free coun- try political parties are essential, that voters who agree on broad lines of pub lie policy must range themselves to carry out those policies; but let them teach also the value of free and independent thought, the necessity of absolutely free speech, and the virtue of tolerance.
 Above all let them point to the his- tory of our past and show the dangers of excessive party zeal; that partsanship has led us into the greatest mistakes we have committed, and brought us face to face with the most imminent perils we have encountered.
 Let our children and all our people be given to understand that to every true born American country stands high above party. and that the safety of the republic is the supreme law of the land. These are some of the lessons to be learned from the history of thee flag we honor this evening""
