Senator Depew, has set the mark
of his condemnation on the new White
House offices. why, 1 am surprised,
really" said ohe. II doubt whether
you could find a bank president in New
York who does not. occupy more impos-
ing offices thin these A Western
congressman commented thus on DR..
Depew's remark: 1.-THE only extraordi-
nary thing in that statement is Chaun-
cey's intimation that the President of
the United States Should be better
housed than a,rNew York banker.
i DIR. Cutlefg composer and musical
conductor WhoaGdied in Swampscott,
Mass, few days ago, is credited with
introducing vested choirs in this counl
try in 1860. That was the year Albert
Edward, therf Prince of Wales. was
here as Earl of Renfrew. He announc-
ed his Intention to attend church at
Trinity in New York and DR. Henry
5. Cutler. being choirmaster then,
conceived the idea of having a vested
choir in Trinity similar to those in
English churches. The idea was at
once taken M by choirmasters, and
the result was that vested cho5rs be-
came common throughout this land.
"A story of Sir Hiram Maxim is GO
ing the rounds in England. 1t is said
that when he and Lady Maxim were
staying at summer resort not long
ago the landlord of the hotel was
somewhat. doubtful about the check
offered in payment of their bill. He
knew the name but not the face of
the signer, and Sir Hiram had not
enough rhoneyto pay the bill in cash.
Lady Maxim finally suggested that the
proprietor go,.to the pier put a penny
in a certain slot and look. He saw a
picture of Sir Hiram Maxim firing a
gun in the presence of the Shah of
Persia and was quite satisfied.

THE SOUTH DAKoTA CASE

The case of South Dakota against
North Carolina is moving along towards
decision without exciting great deal
Of attention. In our dispatches yes
terday it was stated that the Supreme
Court had been asked to fix a date for
hearing argument, and that a, favor
able response had been made. No
doubt the case will be decided this win
ter some time.
This case is interesting to other
states than North Carolina. 1t prob
ably has considerable interest for the
people of this state. North Carolina
refused to pay certain bonds on which
her guarantee had been placed on the
ground, presumably, that they were
fraudulent or had been illegally is
sued. We do not recall exactly the
reason for the refusal to recognize them
as valid obligations. AS the. holders
of the bonds could not sue the state
some of the bonds were transferred to
South Dakota, and became a part of
the school fund of that state. 1t is
probably an issue in the case whether
vi nv lic JULIUS were genuine pur~
chase. If they were simply trans
ferred to South Dakota for the purpose
of enforcing a payment of the bonds
for the bondholders the decision may
turn on that point.
If there should be a decision against
North Carolina then would come the
question of collecting the money.
What would be the proceeding? If
North Carolina should refuse to levy a
tax to pay the bonds would the aid of
the United States be invoked?
If we are not mistaken several of
the Southern States have refused to
pay guaranteed railroad bonds issued,
during reconstruction times, and for
which little or no value was ever re-
ceived. The money obtained for the
bonds Went into the pockets of menu
bers of carpet-bag governments, at
least that is the understanding.
This South Dakota case is doubtless
backed by the holders of many of these
railroad bonds for which payment has
been refused. 1t is perhaps the final
effort to make the states which issued
the bonds pay them If the case against
North Carolina is successful then steps
will be taken probably to make other
states pay bonds which they have re-
fused to recognize as valid.

The little countries to the South are
no doubt looking with anxiety in this
direction to see what the United States
purpose to do in the, case of Venezuela.
They have a. personal interest in the
matter. There is probably not one of
them against which one or more of
the, big Powers of Europe do not hold
claims. If England and Germany can
coeree Venezuela without protest on
the part of the United States, then
either or both of them. or any other
Power, can step in and use force to
collect its claims against the other
Spanish American republics. That is
why the Ecuadorians and the Colom-
bians are shouting "Vive. Venezuelan
and expressing their admiration for the
Monroe doctrine. They never love the
United States so much as when they
are in danger.

MATINEE LUNCHEON BASKETS
with the Candy-Eat1nG Habit
In TheaterS,

The matinee girl and the matinee
woman are not supposed to be COM
pletely equipped unless they carry
into the theater a box of candy.
But all that's likely to be changed
now, says Chicago exchange.
Instead of chocolate creams and
caramels the matinee girl who knows
what is right is carrying nowadays
a matinee lunch basket. The bas-
kets, to be in accord with the pre-
scribed style, ought to be pretty lit
tie affairs.
Some of them are made of delicate
sweet grass; others of fine roots or
birch bark or closely woven twine.
Inside they are lined with waxed pa
per.
The contents may be almost any
thing that suits the matinee girls
tooth and taste-little finger sand
wiches, waters, sweet cakes, stuffed
prunes, salted nuts, and so on. In
stead Of a finger bowl the basket
contains a moist little sponge: Jap
anese paper napkins complete the
outfit.
For the drinkables the matinee girl
will have to depend on the theater's
water carriers, until some ingenious
person invents a theater canteen
that isn't in the way.

CRUELTY DEFENDED.
<mals in the Interests of Science
Approved OF,

Several years ago a defense of vivi-
section, entitled "a Statement in Be-
half of Science" was issued to the pub
lie by a committee Of eminent surgeons
and professors, says Henry C. Merwin,
in Atlantic. \ \ This document.
which was indorsed by President Eliot
and other distinguished persons, ex-
pressly sanctions the practice of .vivi-
section. without the. use of anaesthet-
les, however painful the operation, in
those cases (and they are numerous)
where to use an anaesthet tic would di-
minish the value of the experiment.
Further, the sta ement expressly de-
fends the custom Of vivisecting dumb
animals not only for experiment., but
also for mere purposes of illustration
in the classroom; and it makes no dis
tinction in this respect between pain
full operations and those in which an
aesthetics are used-whereas in Eng
land vivisecting in the classroom with
out the use of anaesthetics is prohib-
fited by law. The language of the state
ment is in the highest degree decorous
and euphemistic, but when examined
it will be found to cover every form of
cruelty that can be perpetrated in the
name of science. = - =. ]'rs:

SECONDHAND PLAYING CARDS
Queer Business of Which an Elderly
New York Nan Has the
Monopoly.

There is an elderly man residing on
First avenue, New York, who has been
earning living for many years by buy
ing and selling secondhand playing
cards, says the Sun. He pays from
one cent to four cents a pack for
double pinocle decks and an average
OF two cents pack for regular decks
of 50 cards.
After buying the cards he takes
them to his home where his wife
cleans and scours them and puts them
in the sun to dry. When they are dry
he takes them around to the saloons
on the East side and disposes of them
at prices ranging from four cents to
nine cents pack.
In this way he earns from dollar
and half to three dollars a day. He
!"~ monopoly of the business in New
York
Very frequently he gets hold of
cards in good condition which have
been discarded by poker players who
change packs for luck. These cards,
ofcourse, bring higher prices than the
old greasy ones of his regular trade.

.:"Punch" is an intelligent, belligerent
and noisy bantam rooster, and he be-
longs to Mildred Bro' :, an Armour
dale (Kan:) girl. She has raised
punch from the time he was fluffy
chicken which could sleep in a teacup,
until now, full grown, he would have
difficulty in roosting in a quart meas

and she is as fond of him as he is OF

was given him for company few
months ago. "Punch's" special accom-
plishments show great intelligence
and careful training, says the Kansas
City Star.
"Punch, here Punch" Mildred calls,
and the bantam trots up to her from
q neighbours flower garden or from
behind the barn, followed by "Judy."
He flies up and alights on Mildred's
outstretched hand at her commands.

bantam goes, straining and twisting
his little body. splitting the air with
his diminutive ''crk-ck-crk-ck-ckrr-rr." |"

out his voice, while "Judy' looks up
admiringly.
"Now we'll have a boxing match" T"
says Mildred, az she places "Punch" in
position at his corner of an impro-
vised ring. "Punch's" favorite an
tagonist is Mildred's grandfather, and
as Mr.. Enochs makes passes at the
little fellow he defends himself with
beak and claws, pecking at the veins
and cords of the hand, making passes,
fefnts, undercuts and hooks with his
feet. "Punch" never tires of this game,
and he plays it with the utmost good
nature.

Poor People Who, Though Ignorant,
Have Kept the Pith of Chris
tian MOralS.

M. Hugues lie Roux, now lecturing
in America, contributes to Century a
paper on New Trail in Abyssinia,"
from which we take this odd passage:
It would be unfair not to mention in
passing that these poor people, how
ever ignorant they may be of the laws
of the religion they profess, have at
least kept the pith of Christian n morals,
the good which distinguishes them
from 1slamic teachings-the doctrine
of forgiveness.
You cannot dismiss 9 servant, or,
with regard to q culprit, take a stand
which everyone believes just, without
being visited by the friends and enc
mics of the delinquent.
They all come and entreat you: ''You
are Christian? Forgive him" And
the humble do notask merely thatpar-
don shall be granted by their masters;
they endeavor to practice it among
themselves. Wi, = j.

in the west, a rather goodfor-nothing
boy who was in my private service tried
to kill my head servant: The, victim
