Fusion In Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb., March 21.--Over some
opposition on the part of the Populists
fusion was again effected in Nebraska
to-day between the Peoples party and
the Democrats. An effort was made by
the Democrats to induce the Populists to
give up their organization and formally
affiliate with them, but this met with SO
much opposition that it was not insisted
upon. No date was set for. the State
convention, that being left to the exeou-
tive committee of both organizations,
the Republicans not having fixed day.
Mr.. Bryan was present at both meet
ings, doffing his overalls and leaving his
work of moving to his farm to mingle
with the farmers. His influence was
thrown in favor of fusion. Several
Populists expressed desire to go it
alone, but were formally sat upon.
The matter of division of the offices
was referred back to the two conventions
when they meet.

The Crumpacker Resolution.

The Crumpacker resolution is not
only partisan, but it is useless. 1t is
partisan because it only deals with
elections in the South, ignoring the
gross and glaring frauds perpetrated
in the North. 1t is useless because
it inquiries into the constitutionality
of certain laws-a question which
the courts alone can settle. There
is but one excuse for the bill and
that will not be urged by the author,
namely, that it may influence the
decision of the Court as the election
of 1900 influenced the Courts decis-
ion in the Downes case.--The Com
moner.

Important Measures Passed in Congress.

Washington, March 22.-Two impor-
tant measures were passed by the Senate
yesterday--the bill for the repeal of the
war revenue taxes and that for the pro-
lection of the President of the United
States. The revenue bill was passed
without division and after only one short
speech. Mr.. Tillman embraced the op-
portunity offered by the bills consi0ara-
tion to protest against the repeal of the
duty of ten cents a pound upon tea.
dent was under discussion during the
greater part of the session. Mr.. Patter-
son, of Colorado, made an extended
speech in opposition to it and Mr.. Fair
banks supported it. All amendments to
the measure were rejected and it was
passed by vote of so to 10.

Incomes OF Inventors.

Some of the largest fortunes appear
to have been derived from the inven-
tion of trivialities and novelties,
such as the once popular toy known
as "Dancing Jimcrow," which for
several years is said to have yielded
its patentee an annual income of
upwards of $4,000. The sale of
another toy-"John Gilpin"-en-
riched its lucky inventor to. the
extent of 100000 year as long as
it continued to enjoy The unexpected
popularity that greeted it when first
placed upon the market. Mr..
Plimpton, the inventor of the roller
skate, made S1,000,00O out of his
idea, and the gentleman who first
thought of placing rubber tip at
the end of lead pencils made quite
100000 dollars year by means of
his simple improvement.
When Harvey Kennedy intro
duced the shoe lace he made $780,
600, and the ordinary umbrella bcne-
flied six people by as much as
S10,000,O00. The Howard patent
for boiling sugar in vacou proved
lucrative Investment for the capi-
talists who were able to remunerate
the inventor on a colossal scale. 1t
is estimated that his income aver
aged between 100000 and S25O,OOO
per annum.
Sir Josiah Mason, the inventor of
the improved steel pen, made an
enormous fortune, and on his death
English charities were benefited by
many millions of dollars. The
patentee OF the pen for shading in
different colors derived a yearly in
come of about 100000 from this
ingenious contrivance. 1t is stated
that the wooden ball with an elastic
attached yielded over $50,000 year.
Many readers will remember
legal action which took place some
years ago, when in the course of the
evidence it transpired that the in
ventor of the metal plates used for
protecting the soles and heels of
shoes from wear sold 100000
plates in 1879, and in 1887 the num-
Der reached total of 143,00O,00O,
which realized profits of $1,150,000
for the year.
The lady who invented the modern
baby carriage enriched herself to the
extent of $4,000; and young lady
living at Port Elizabeth, South
Africa, devised the simple toilet
requisite, known as the "Mary An
derson" curling iron, from which
she derives royalties amounting to
$500 year. 1t was the wife of a
clergyman who designed al improve
ment for the corset and made for
tune out of it. The gimlet- pointed
screw, the idea of a little girl,
brought many millions of dollars to
the clever inventor. Miss Knight,
young lady of exceptional talents,
was gifted with wonderful mechani-
cal powers, as will be seen by
the complicated mechanism of her
machine for making paper bags. We
are told she refused $4,000 for it
shortly after taking out the patent.

cellbacy is not Sacred.

Va
Rev. Min3 j. Savage, Of the
Church of the Messiah preached a
sermon yesterday on Glove and
Marriage" He took the general
ground that all should marry, barr
ing, of course, the diseased, criminals
and those who have not the means
to support family. In opposition
to the ecclesiastical dogma that there
is something sacred about celibacy,
DR.. Savage said:
81 care not what councils, bishops,
churches, popes may have enunci-
ated the dogma. Let me say it rev.
erently and without being misunder-
stood if l may, 1 cannot have any
reverence whatever even for the far
famed and eternally exalted virginity
of Mary. To place virginity, celib-
acy, after the conservation and noble
service of fatherhood or motherhood
seems to me to cast slur upon the
father or the mother, and to impugn
the wisdom and,the goodness of God,
who has ordained the fact that this
distinction of sex runs through the
universe from the highest to the
lowest and has made it the means of
all the power and glory and beauty
that are"
Speaking of the grounds and con-
ditions of true marriage, DR.. Saw
age said that the first, last and uni
versal condition ought to be that in
tangible, indefinable thing which is
called love. Of marriages that are
not based on love he said
"I am aware of the fact that whim,
fancy, passion and many other things
are sometimes mistaken for love.
am aware that there are marriages
for hundred reasons marriages of
convenience, as they are called.
There are people who marry for
money, both men and women there
are more frequently perhaps in the
Old World than here, people who
marry out of family considerations
or for the sake of bringing together
two estates, landed or what not. AS
this country gets older, though, and
large fortunes are established, the
temptation of this sort of thing here
becomes more and more. But do
not believe that marriages of this
sort can be too forcibly branded for
what they really are.
eff woman gives herself to man
for money, | for one cannot see any
distinction, on account of the large
ness of the price. 1t is not marriage
when you marry for money; it is a
bargain, bargain in which you sell
the one thing that is most sacred in
manhood or womanhood it is not
marriage II 1T becomes matter of
convenience. If woman marries
for title or for home or for any,
thing but love it is not marriage it
is really that unmentionable thing
that we look upon with such supreme
contempt"
DR.. Savage declared that in any
true marriage there ought to be
absolute respect for the inviolate
personality of each, and in elaborat-
ing this principle he said
81 do not believe that husband
has any business to break open let
ter that is addressed to his wife, any

TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis, June 26.-In the alb

push their position this morning, and
again allowed themselves to become
over-enthusiastic After materially
increasing their line it was discovered
that there was very light offerings
elsewhere and when endeavoring to
cover. found the bull crowd bidding
profusely. resulting in nearly a cent
advance. Receipts were quite liberal
again but we believe will be double the
present deliveries by July 1st The

progressing quite favorably but is ac-
companied by much wet weather. 1t

ably maintained. Ohio and Indiana

On bulges it would seem safe to go
short for a turn. but on dips like. yes
terday and this morning we prefer the
long side.
Corn opened heavy, especially for
July. This induced considerable sell
ing after the quotations were distrib-
uted. The Gates crowd seem to un-
derstand about what is necessary to
keep the outside clear of the long side.
and make offerings plentiful. Sep
tember is much steadier and if July is
wanted at GO now under favorable con-
dItions, does it not seem consistent
that with possible drouth, that Sep
tember will command even higher
prices? Chicago received 1T cars
| which considering the prices is very
light.
Oats are showing signs of nlanipula-
tion. Some good people evidently
have them we'll in hand. How much
higher they will put them is matter
of concern to shorts as we'll as to timid
holders. 1t will be much easier, rer-
haps, to locate top prices in September
or December than the low. ,a..

passed through the s1S-S1S.5 so crisis
successfully. The hesitation in prices
OF pork which is the leading specula-
tive commodity in this class, suggested
quite thorough clean up of long stuff,
increasing the short account. We be-
lieve now that the next movement will
be around the SO mark where prices

course, upon the general market con-
! ditions.

London, June 26.-At $3.50 p. m. Sir
Francis Knollys, private secretary to
King Edward, told a representative of
the Associated Press that no particu-
lar change had occurred but that the
king was maintaining the improvement
Ia his condition. 4
The following statement was made
during the afternoon on the highest
medical authority:
Until the tubes now draining the
cavity of the abscess have been with
drawn it will be impossible to feel GER
tain that the king will pull through.
What his physicians have now to fear
is that peritonitis or hemorrhage may
supervene. There must always be
this danger in such cases.a Again, it
is a fact that an abscess due to perity,
.phlitis may have fatal issue without
any warning symptoms. All the indi
cations are often masked , until the
.postmortem and there are many cases
on record where the disease was only
discovered after death from an extra
neous cause, such as an accident. AT
any. rate the kings grave illness must
invalide him for some time"

ONE CHANCE IN THREE.
Authorities Discuss Probability of the
Kings Death.

New York, June 26.-According to
Sir Frederick Treves, who performed
the operation on King Edward and
himself one of the greatest living sur
geons and specialists on abdominal
troubles, the chances Of death in cases
of perityphlitis, when assesses form
as that of King Edward, are about one
in three.
Sir Frederick Treves also declared
that the period when death is most
likely to occur, if at all, is from the
fifth to the eighth day. Judging from
the opinions of this distinguished
physician it may be assumed that
either the kings condition has devel-
oped suddenly, or he has been very
sick for several days and the phys:
clans have been attempting to patch
up their patient for this weeks cere-
monies, says the Times.

King Edwards Illness Failed to Ap.
I'D peal to London RoWdies.

London, June 26.-In spite of the
intensity of the tragic interruption of
the coronation, the lower element of
London spent the night "mafeking''
through the flag-decked streets, and a
portion of society in coronation gowns
and Jewels gathered at what was called
a gala coronation dinner at one of the
fashionable hotels.
Even at the gates Of Buckingham
palace the footing of horns and the
sound of other revelry could be plainly
heard. 49,, ss ,- g a
The gathering which remained be-
meath the flaring palace lights seemed
more bent on celebrating than on sym
pathizing. Wagon loads of boisterous
rowdies were on the streets; they were
driving all sorts of vehicles and waving
flags and hugging demijohns of liquor.
