Alfonso Of Spain comes of age" on
May II, that is. he will be 16 years
old on that date. Spanish royalty, it
seems, arrives at manhood or woman
hood at an earlier age than most other
folks. On Alfonsos birthday he will
be crowned. The ceremony is to be
elaborate, but nothing approaching the
coronation of his brother monarch, Ed
ward of England. The next item on
the card for Alfonso will be finding a
wife. He will not have great deal
to do with the search, Notwithstanding
he is to have a look at the princesses
of the Catholic courts of Europe; his
mama and the prime minister will fix
up the match and all Alfonso will have
to do will be to marry the girl. 1t is
said to be the hope of the court at
Madrid to have the young King safely
married within about three years.

The value of expert gunnery was
demonstrated conclusively in the short
naval war with Spain. Three or four
posed to grumble about the amount of
powder and shot wasted" in target
practice on the vessels of the navy.
Now more money is being burned up
on the ships than ever before, and not
word of criticism is heard. 1t is said
that the allowance for target practice
this year will be double what it was
in 1897, and the effort of the officers
will be to make every man on board
an expert gunner with both small and
large guns.

Divine, New York city, was shocked
jewels had been stolen. AS the news
papers described the Jewels, they were
principally amethysts and rubies, of
large size. A day or two ago the jan

mails. Upon opening it there fell into
his hand the missing gems" A note
from the disguised thief said he had
ascertained that they were only glass,
therefore he had no use for them.

We noted the other day the uneasi-
ness that had been caused in a GER
tain Kansas town by the prophecy of
a baby that there would be five years
of famine in Kansas" At the age of
a few weeks, it was stated, the baby
had uttered the words quoted and re-
peated them at intervals ever since.
Now the anxiety of the Kansans has
been augmented by the report of agents
OF the Agricultural Department in
Kansas to the effect that there will be
a visitation Of grasshoppers in the
state this year. The observations of
the agents have been submitted to
Chief Entomologist Howard in Wash
ington, and he agrees that from all in
dicatdons the grasshoppers are due to
make their appearance early in the
summer. An expert has been sent to
Kansas to devote all of his time to
studying the climatic and other con
ditions under which grasshoppers
breed, and the chief entomologist will
then endeavor TO find some preventive
which viii exterminate the pest before
the grasshoppers become capable Of in

Washington dispatch says Senator
Hanna disclaims being a man of des-
tiny, or even the man of the hour, in
so far as a presidential nomination is
concerned. Elliott Danforth of New
York, close personal friend of ex-
Senator Hill. declares that gentleman
has no idea of becoming a candidate
for the Democratic nomination but will
stick to his law practice. 1t is safe to
say. though, that neither the Senator
nor the ex-senator would have to be
bound and gagged to make him swal-
low the nomination.

TWO FINE SPECIMENS
OF PHYSICAL MANHOOD.

No form of athletic exercise demands
such perfect physical condition as prize
lighting Every muscle in the body
must be fully developed and supple,
and the heart, lungs and stomach must
act to perfection.
Whether we indorse prize fighting
or not, it is nevertheless interesting
TO know the manner by which men ar
rive at such physical perfection.

The testimony on all sides is that
Pension Commissioner Evans is a
competent, conscientious and faithful
officer. He had the confidence and sup
port OF President Mckinley and has
the confidence of President Roosevelt.
And yet Pension Commissioner Evans
must go. The announcement is made
that he will be promoted" as soon as
an equally good man can be found for
the place. No doubt Mr.. Evans will be
glad enough to relinquish the job. The
Grand Army of the Republic people
have made life a burden to him ever
since they found out that it was to
be his purpose to enforce the law
strictly. They demand a Liberal con-
struction'' of the laws, under which
about all applications for pensions
would be allowed. Mr.. Evans has held
to rigid constructions and thereby pre-
vented raiders from getting their fin
gers deeper into the treasury. 1t will
not be easy for the President to find
an equally good man ITO take his place.

The proverb. "An is not gold that
glitters." applies to the gold lace Of
the uniforms of army and navy Off
things. The War Department has or
dered lot of the old lace cast into the
melting pot for the purpose of securing
the gold in it. and the authoritative
statement is made that the melting
will result in the recovery of about 2
per cent. gold and 80 per cent silver of
the mass melted. 1t seems, for the
greater honor and glory of the military
service, that the proportion of gold to
silver in the lace used ought to be at
least / to 16.

THERE TO STAY.

Col. Gaynor, in talking to an AS
ISOLATED Press reporter a day or two
ago, said that he had no present in
tention Of leaving Quebec. According
to a special dispatch he is so we'll
satisfied that he is in Quebec for long
visit that he is preparing to go into
business there. 1t seems that he has
been figuring on some of the proposed
Improvement work on the st. Law
renee river. The dispatch says that he
will tender bids for this work in his
own name. 1t is also said that he is
interested with some local contracting
firms who have pull with the Ca
madam government.
Col.-Gaynor can be depended upon to
know the firms which have pull
with the authorities. 1t is impossible
of course to say how much truth there
is in this story that Col Gaynor is pre-
pairing to bid for contracts ON st. Law
renee river work, but it is a safe as
sumption that he himself gave out the
report on which it is based. He either
thinks that he is entirely safe from the
United States authorities or else he de-
sires it to be understood that he takes
that view of the situation.
1t is evident, however, that it is not
the intention of the government at
Washington to make no effort to Sc
cure the return of the fugitives. The
appearance of two detectives ait the
hotel at which the fugitives are stay
ing, supposed to be United States Sc
cret service men, mentioned in our
dispatches yesterday, indicates that
vigorous efforts are to be made to
secure their return to Savannah. I'M
less there was good grounds for think
ing that their extradition could be
effected the government would not be
so hasty in moving in the matter.

that is apparently fraught with

would not only deny a man the right

toned, but he has no right to prevent

traceable In all their manifestations"


4 point generally overlooked in all
discussions of the problems giving rise
to and growing out of the recent strikes
OF the mine workers and which is of
paticular interest to those who have
been persistent in arguing for the
fright" of the workingman to free"
market, is that raised by Dr. Warne in
claiming that the American working
man should have not so much II free
market as a market where fair wage
is assured. He draws an analogy be-
tween the unrestrained competition of
labor with labor and the economic law
which uncontrolled had played havoc
with and wrought ruin to not only Il
fair interest on capital but To a large
part of capital itself invested in that
industry. lie concludes that just as
capital seeks protection against the evil
working of this law in the consolidation
of mining plants and the combination
of railroads so labor is striving to find n
remedy for its present deplorable con-
ditions through organization. The OPP
position of the consumers of coal TO the
combination of capital and the oppose
tion of the consumers of mine labor to
the organization of mine workers are,
Dr.. Warne believes, both useless at
tempts to prevent the inevitable.

THE UNION IS PERMANENT.

Abstract of Article by Frank ], Wornc in
January Annals OF the American Acad-
emy of Political and Social Science.
A clear insight into the disastrous ef-
fects OF the unrestrained competition
of the cheaper European labor with the
la Dor produced under American condi-
tons is presented by DR.. Frank Julian
Warne, of the University of Pennsylva-
mia, in 1.-The Effect of Unionism Upon
the Mine Worker" published in the
January issue of the Annals OF the
American Academy of Political and So
cial Science. The writer confines his
analysis to the anthracite industry OF
Pennsylvania, but it's value is emphn-
sized when it is remembered that some
what similar results, although possibly
not as deplorable, are evident in other
Industries in this country. The Immi-
grafton Bill now before Congress is de-
signed to find a remedy for some OF the
evil effects of this European imnigra-
tion.
DR.. Warne believes this competitions
of the SlaV, whose cost of maintaining
his labor is low, with the English
speaking mine worker, whose cost OF
living is much higher, is the most DOM
inant of all the economic forces affect
ing the living conditions of the mine
workers. AS to the far-reaching effects
OF this competition, DR.. Warne says
1T crosses and recrosses every occupa-
ton i'm the industry. Among individuals
in the same group and between the diff
ferent groups and classes competition is
intensified. In all of them workers are
al
compelled to lower their standards of
living; others are prevented from rails
ing their standards, while to many the
struggle tn exist becomes n most Sc
we're battle for the necessaries of life.
The pressure on some mine workers is
so great as to force their boys of ten
der years into the breaker and their
girl children into the silk mill in order
that their mites may add to the family
income. This competition affects the
lives of hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie; it even determines the number of
births in a community as Well as in
fuences powerfully the physical and
mental qualities of many yet unborn.
1t is one of the great dominant forces
at work in the anthracite region of
Pennsylvania to-day threatening and re-
tarding communal advancement and at
tacking those institutions which we as
Americans prize so highly. Like all
great forces 1t has its beginning in
small things-in the ability of a group
of men to live on less than another
the desire of the managers
of capital to secure low cost of pro-
duetion-and like these forces its eff
fects are SO far-reaehing as TO be un-
