Canny MT. Carnegie.

King Edward paid a visit to "The Carnegie" at Skibo castle on Saturday. It would be interesting to know in what capacity the distinguished host was so honored. Did royalty recognize in the individual it condescended to take tea with a notable citizen of New York, or conspicuous American cap tain of industry, or q lavish endOWer of public libraries, or a large contributor to the higher scientific education of "the states" or the lord rector of Scotch university, or the man who had saved the impecunious youth of Gale donia stern and wild from the ordinary and traditional sstudent diet of water and oatmeal? Perhaps the king wished simply to sratify his curiosity and gaze on q nulti-mllionaire who is dottinE the United States and Great Britain with memorial buildings, to inspect one who, while putting up castles and man sions for himself, propounds the dCc- urine that it is the first duty Of the rich to get rid ofttheir capital before they shuffle off for good. Edward R. l. is q genial soT. It is part of his business, and he is master of his trade They say that those who are experts in any line like to meet those who are con spicucus in any other. Perhaps the British monarch hopes even yet to re- tain the great little man from Pitts burg among his subjects. He may not know that Mr. Carnegie votes when he is 'at home" in America. But at any rate the Laird of Skiho plays beth ends against the middle with much skill. He is a simple citizen when he is on this side of the Atlantic. He is a Highland potentate when he puts on the kits. His own pipcrs gave God Save the King" on Saturday. as the royal motor car left the glorifed precincts of the castle. It must be very nice to be one thing here and another thing there; tC be right-handed and 4eft-handed; ito be rich beyond the dreams of avarice and be willing tO die poor; to be q simple American and cock of tAe walk north of the Tweed; to see your own monu- ments everywhere; to be extremely modest and shrinking. and at the same time to be pursued by smiling royalty. This peculiar combination Of circum- stances shows that therc is no use in having money if you don't know how t1 spend it right.-New York Sun.

Nepro Annexation,

There is already much talk of an- ncXiag the islam dof Hayti to the United States. It is a negro nation, sometimes an empire and sometimes a republic. It is utterly bankrupt and is in q state of hopeless revolution.
 The last president, Sam, foreseeing overwhelming trouble, fled tO Europe with all the money he could lay his hands on. It is now supposed the United States will be forced, in order tn rescue the negro republic from condition of anarchy, tC take posses sion of it and restore order.
 Hayti belonged to France, but when the French revolution broke out in EurCre in 11S9 the negro slaves in Hayti took advantage of the opportu- nity and in a bloody uprising gained their freedom and independence. Ja- maica wants to be annexed and Cuba will be sooner or later. In time the United States will acquire all the West Indies, great majority of whose pep ulGtiOn is of the ncgro race
 With the Filipinos. the Hawaiians, the West Indians and the negroes all ready in the country and their in- crease the republic will have at no dis tant day 21,0O0C00 to 4O.0O0, GOO negro and mongrel population. This is scme- thing fer the American people to con template. The prospect is not pleas ing one.-New Orleans Picayune.

HE PUNISHED THE DRAGON.

Eoce is 9 story from the Shanghai Mercury: Some time ago II. E. Jung, the governor of the province (TaIyuen), made sacrifice to the god of drag ors' and the dragons of the five lakes and fcur seas" and prayed them Cor rain. But as his sacrifice seemed not to have been accepted and his prlye. not granted the governor was thus made rather angry. and consequently he ordered q paper dragon to be con structed representing the "drag gOn of drouth.' Yesterday afternoon a pro cossion took place. in which the gover- nor brought the paper dragon to the outside of tho south gate, where he informed the high heaven tha, he was going to execute it for having taken away all the rain. At about 1:30 o'clock, immediately after the report of three guns, an eXecutiOaer. clad in red, came up to the dragon of drouth'' and with long shining sword cut the dragon into seven pieces. After read ing another prayer to the high heaven and the other dragons the governor ordered the executed dragon to be burned. When this was done he re- turned to his yamen.

A Splendid Ticket.

It is possible. of course. that the tick republican convention yesterday might have been made stronger in some re- spects-it is doubtful to conceive of a convention which would nominate the very strongest men for every office. But it must be said in all candor. that never in the experience of citizens of this county has a ticket been presented to the people so generally and thor oughly commendable. review of the personnel of nominations discloses re- markable strength. It is a certainty that majority of the candidates named will be elected, and it is po5si- ble and even probable, that the entire ticket will be victorious.
 Hereafter we shall have occasion 70 speak in detail of the nomina tions made Suffice it for the present to say that the republicans of this county are to be congratulated upon the excellent Judgment shown in making the selec- tions yesterday. and the people are to be felicitated upon the assurance that their public servants for the next bi- ennian period are to be men of such high character and intelligence.

-A suggestion to the republican cer- tral committee of Maricopa county: Jim Bark and Dr. William Duffield should be required to go on the stump in the coming campaign. For force and persuasiveness and well balanced pre- sentation, the remarks of Bark in nom- mating Mcqueen for the legislature and in seconding the nomination of Cook for sheriff. and Duffield's nomina- ton of Edwards for district attorney were superb.

Ssrmons on Future LifA.

Sermons ahout the future life have grown rare. It is q gener@ ton since ministers began to be reticent about speaking of future punishment, except to question it's endlessness and it's character. For 2 time the stress of preaching turned to the subject of fu- ture blessedness. in heaven, but that gleam of mortality is fading cut Of sermon and prayer and fingers mainly in hymns and in the funeral service.
 A philosophical, impersonal interest in this subject is felt by many. which leads them to welcome discussions by such teachers as William James or John Fiske concerning the continuance of personality after death or the ex- periments of the Society oi Psychical

SHE LOST NOTHING.
An Omission. in the Wedding Service
That Didn't Count in Her
Case.

A distinguished naval officer was
telling this story on himself the other
evening to gathering Of his friends.
At the time of his marriage he had
been through the civil war and had
had many narrowing experiences
aboard ship, through all of which he
kept his courage and remained as calm
as brave man should, relates the
Washington Star. AS the time for the
ceremony came ON, however. his calm
ness gradually gave way. At the al
tar, amid the blaze of brass buttons
and gold lace marking the full naval
wedding, the officer was all but STAN
peded and what went on there seemed
very much mixed to him. Fearing tie
excitement of the moment would tenn
porarily take him off his feet, the of
ficer had learned the marriage cere-
mOny letter perfect, as he thought.
and he remembered repeating the
words after the minister in a mechan-
zeal sort of way.
After the ceremony was over and
all was serene again, including the of
1icer's state of mind, the kindly clergy
man came up to him and touched him
on the shoulder.
Look here, old man." he said, "you
didn't endow your wife with your
worldly goods"
What's that?" asked the bride
groom. with something of astonish-
ment in his voice.
"Why, repeated the sentence, with
all my worldly goods I thee endow
several times, and despite my efforts
you would not say it after me-
The bridegroom seemed perturhed
for moment and then a beaming light
came into his face.
Never mind, sir" he said, ''she didn't
lose a blessed thing by my failure"

remarked man who makes a point
of observing things, states the Wash
ington Star. ''To be sure, that old
bogie, the number 13, figured in the
episode, but the combination of which
it formed a part was a novelty in its
line, or. at least, it was strikingly
original, to my mind.
"As l was passing along Louisiana
avenue my attention was attracted by
what appeared to be most astounding
conduct on the part of highly respect
ed and usually very dignifed official
who is connected with one of the local
tribunals-not the police court, by any
means. He was accompanied by a
young lady, and they had evidently
been to luncheon. Suddenly hating
when in front of an undertakers' sup
ply house, the official devoted himself
to rubbing his left eye with vigor at
the same time scratching his right
foot, and saying: Thirteen, 10, II,
ten, nine, eight. seven. six. five, four,
three, two, one, nothing The young
lady looked on amazed. The perform
ance ceased and the pair proceeded
in the direction of the city hall. All
this happened within my view and hear
ing.

gyrating official I prevailed upon him
the following day to explain what he
meant by initiating lunatic while
on a public thoroughfare. My boy

i thermore, you neglected to note that
there were just 13 boxes in the pile.

right foot, and, beginning with 10.

breathe easy. Remember the remedy

calamity when you least expect to

Mileage.

The first congress provided that each
member should receive besides his pay
S6 for each twenty miles travelled 60
ing and returning. In 1918 this was
raised to S.. An act of 1856 limited this
to two sessions. In 1866. the railroad
having long since come in, the mileage
was reduced to 20 cents q mile. On the
I'D of December, 1S4S. Horace Greeley
published in The Tribune statement
that the government was being de-
frauded on mileage in large sums, the
amount in excess of legitimate charges
for the Thirtieth congress being $751;
49,. While this expose caused consid-
cradle i'll feeling against him, it led to
revision of the mileage matter and
the abolition of constructive mileage.
This class of mileage was an allowance
for Journeys merely supposed to have
been made, as when congress adjourns
and new president takes office or an
extra session is called.

A NEW PARLOR GAME.
Nmething Interesting for the Young
Folks During an Evening
Indoors,

A new game for boys and girls, and
very good one for those interested in
geography and the curious customs OF
the various nations. The name of this
new game is "A Trip Around the
World,'' says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Upon each of number of cards is
written the name of some country
which a traveller would cross on a trip
around the world. The cards arc then
shuffied, and from the pack each per-
son draws one, or two if only few
persons are playing, in order that all
the cards may be drawn.
The leader in the game now an
nounces from what point the traveller
in his long trip will start. The one
holding the card bearing the name of
that country then must tell some in
teresting story about that country or
its people. While relating this tale
he must speak as if he were the trav-
eler who had made the journey and
this was one of the experiences he had
met with. When he has finished his
story the one whose card bears the
name of the next country passed
through by the traveller begins his mar
rative. Thus one after another each
of the persons is given an opportunity
to try his skill in story telling.
The game can be made very inter-
esting, especially if some humorous in
cidents are related. Thus, the trav-
eler may have taken the course of the
Philippines, and it is the duty of the
leader to tell what course was taken.
While at those islands he may have
taken ride upon the water buffalo,
which became frightened, as these an
finals often do, and have thrown its
rider into a stream, where it made
its escape.
Or the traveller may have passed
through Egypt and there met with
some funny experiences riding upon
camels. The curious customs and
modes of dress afford very good top
les. 1t is a good plan to distribute the
cards at the time the Invitations are
made to the evenings entertainment
for then each one may have some time
to look up some information upon his
topic.

DICTATES OF FASHION.
Pretty TriAes That Go to Make UI
the Costumes of the
Season.

Embroideries of all kinds are eX-
quisite in design and workmanship
and makers of laces have outdone
themselves in the new ones. These
come in variety Of shades to match
the batistes exactly, says the Chicago
Daily News.
Brocaded silk and crepe de chimes
are woven to look as much like en-
broidery as possible. Embroidered
shawls are being brought out and
made into waists, white ones being the
most stylish.
All shades of ecra and biscuit in COM
binations with white are favored, if the
great variety of biscuit and tin tfnts
is any proof of preference. They are
particularly acceptable for street
wear, since they do not show dust.
Fancy stocks and collars are numcr-
Gus and are found in every possible
combination of velvet, silk and lace.
A simple stock to wear with a lace
scarf CT one of crepe de chine is made
of dotted crepe de chine in pale blue
or pink laid in narrow folds turning
upward. This covers the entire band
to within half an inch of the top.
Summer shirt waists of nuns veil
ing in white and pale blue, in silk ging-
hams, silk madras cloth and wash
silks are being worn under heavy
jackets. The tendency in dress is to-
ward lighter-weight materials and es-
pecially is this true for the blouse.
Finest white batiste is made up now
over chiffon lining and worn on many
occasions.
Very pretty scroll designs are used
on the lace stocks wrought out with
little silk bands joined by the open
stitch. All sorts of changes are rune
on this idea. Then there are the plain
er, strictly shirt-waist stocks made of
two colors in oddly-figured silks, the
narrow tie fastened in front with two
fancy buttons or with plain or fancy
buckle. Embroidered linen stocks are
much liked for wear with plain shirt
waists and come in variety of col
ors.
