THE TRHSTS.

The trust business is going through just what other forms of business go through and after it has been thor oughly tested it will be found that there has been an unwarranted scare Trusts that don't deserve to live will not live very long. Arthur Raffalovich, of the Russian finance agency at Paris, points out that if the trust presents some an moving problems to the consumer whom it deprives Of the benefits of competitive manufacture; if it menaces foreign producers by dumping competitive mer- chandise on their markets at any price, it must still not be forgotten that the new form of combination has for itself no guarantee of absolute security. The past has shown us overwhelming col lapses and insolvencies; the future may have others in store.
 This is a sound view of the situation. The trust business is settling itself, and unless the law makes more haste than it usually does it may find that there isn't much for it to do to the trusts when it really tackles them.

ANNUITZES

Prof. c. s. Grimes of Evanston, Ill.,, now o4 years of age, carried policy of S5,ooo for many years and when he reached the advanced age of 7ohe despaired of its ever becoming claim, so he compromised with the company on the basis of an annuity of S4Ioper year for the rest of his life. During the past A years he has received his annual payments with regular ity and great equanimity of mind and, having already drawn $o,84o, he has come to the conclusion that he has found the elixir of life in an Annuity.
 At age 70, ST, 900 deposited in The Mutual Life Insurance Go. of New York will yield an annuity of SI34.77 for life.
 This great corporation is the most wealthy moneyed institution in the world and more than SIo, ,ooo, 900 in claims has been paid in this state through the under signed.

SUNDAY IN ST. LOUIS.

St. Louis has the reputation of being a rather open city, and Sunday there is not Puritan. Probably some have ex- pected that the great fair which is to be held there would be open on Sunday, but it w;ll not be if the United States government can prevent it. and it thinks it can. The treasury department is now engaged in getting satisfactory guarantees that the managers of the fair will keep it closed on Sunday. Last week the treasury department sent to St. Louis a document having the gen. eral force of a bond, pledging the fair management to keep the gates closed on the first day of the week throughout the exhibition period, and requested the sig natures thereto of the board of direct ors. It came back promptly, signed by the president ex-Governor Francis. It had, therefore, to be returned, with a repetition of the original request, and an explanation that the treasury wished to have the individual signatures of the directors, with some testimonial in the way of a certified copy of resolution adopted by them at d meeting to show that the signers had authority to act for the whole board.

PASSING OF THE CLERICAL COL
 LEGE PRESIDENT.

The disappearance of Dr. Patton means that the ranks of the ministerial presidents will be sadly depleted. There is now Hadley of Yale, who is a polit- cal economist; there is Eliot of liar yard, who used to be mathematician and a chemist before he took to admin istering a university; there is Butler of Columbia who was a student of philos- ophy and pedagogy; there is James of Northwestern, another political eeono- mist; there is Angel of Michigan, whose academic speciality was modern European literature; there is Northrop of Minnesota, a lawyer: there is Jordan of Leland Stanford, a zoologist; there is Wheeler of California, a Grecian; there is Schurman of Cornell, philoso- pher; there is Remsen of Johns Hop kins, chemist; there is Hall of Clark psychologists; and so on.
 All over the country the tendency to- ward lay presidents is unmistakable. Faunce of Brown is a minister and Harper of Chicago used to be a profes- sor of Hebrew in a theological semin- ary. These men are at present the most notable exceptions to a general rule.-- Chicago Tribune.

THE CRETAN EXCAVATIONS.

Remains of a Civilization Uncovered
 That Was Old When Homer Sang
 On Ferbruary IA last" says Arthur J, Evans in the Lonon Times, writing from Candid, T was able, thanks to the genrous assistance given through the Cretan Excavation Fund, to resume the work of xcavation in the prehistoric Palace of Knossos."
 Those who have followed the form CT course of the excavations may re- member that their result had been to uncover an eastern wing, which seems to have been mainly reserved for state and religious functions, business and storage, a great central court, and be- yond it to the east a part of what seem ed to be the royal residential quarter At the close of last seasons work a staircase had come to light here leading down by a triple flight to a hall with double tiers of colonnades, and beyond it a larger columnar hall or Megaron. On the upper level north of these ran a corridor, beneath which another corre- spending passage of lofty dimensions
  by large window opening on the light well of the larger hall. The clearance of this was marked by the discovery of a very extensive deposit of inscribed clay tablets-the largest, indeed, yet discovered-including about one hun dred perfect documents dealing with palace accounts. The decimal system is here much in evidence, and large pro- portion of the tablets deal with percen- tages. With these were several large clay impressions of what must certain Iy have been a royal signet ring, ex- hibiting a goddess and her attendants, of which a counterfeit matrix was found last year in another part of the proof that fraudulent pro- cedure was not unknown even in the household of Minos.
 "A very interesting feature of the newly discovered hall, which will be specially appreciated by Homeric stu dents. is a private staircase opening to it's north wall and leading up by a dou- hle flight to upper rooms On the west side of the hall opens a passage lead ing to what must have been the most secluded part of this residential quar- ter of the palace Here again remains

TROLLEY DINING CHRIS,

So many things have come into the streets of cities that didn't use to be
 there that it is not surprising to read that some of the people of Chicago want trolley dining cars. There is club in that city called the Two-Million Club, and this club is advocating the use of such cars. The president of the club presents the argument for trolley dining-cars in a rather forcible way. Everybody he says, who is obliged to be at his place of business early in the morning knows how troublesome 1t is to rouse his entire household hours be- fore it would naturally be astir for the purpose of seeing that he gets a bite to eat. Well, suppose the traction com panies were to put on lot of dining trailers, or buffet lunch cars? A man could get up half an hour later, take more time to dress, and break his fast in a leisurely, human manner, instead or ledplng rom peu, ulNihs lHtO HIS clothes, and gulping down cup of cof- fee or gobbling roll. The eating cars might also be made a part of certain trains all day long, serving something to eat at all hours. They would be found extremely convenient at one time or another, and the companies could make them profitable without letting the prices soar beyond reach.
 There will soon be dining cars on the long trolley lines if it will pay to put them there, and the managers of those lines will not be slow to find out wheth- CT it will pay

CHICAGO MANS STRANGE NIGHT
 MARE

Once there was a citizen who fell asleep and had horrible dream. He dreamed that the city had become so in- tolerably dirty that men of means. hay ing become wealthy here, and despair ing of ever seeing any improvement in it's streets or in it's atmosphere, were moving to New York and other cities in droves. He dreamed that the Chicago river had almost ceased to be a navga- ble stream, in consequence of the tun- nels that obstructed it, and that the people had grown apathetic about it and no longer cared for the old river. They saw commerce leaving the city for other ports, and made no grumble about it. The bridges had become eye sores, the piling above and below them was routed away, and the docks and wharves along the stream were in the last stages of decay.
 He dreamed that general apathy as to public improvements had settled down upon the doomed city Either there was not enough money raised by taxation to keep things moving or it was unwisely expended. In his dream however, he saw that the men who held the offices continued to grow rich, and that everybody scrambled for those of fees. as they had done in other days, He dreamed that the prevailing dry rot had extended to the schools, and that some of the most important branches had been discontinued. He dreamed that the fire department, once the won der of the world, had become crippled by the palsy that was effecting every other part of the municipal body, and that destructive fires were of daily oc- currence.
 He dreamed that the police force, all ready demoralized by politics and pull, had been still further disabled by the laying off of hundreds of men, and that burgIaries and hold-ups were of such frequency that they ceased to occasion any surprise. He dreamed that the rich and prosperous men still remaining in the city were apparently content with this state of affairs, and instead of holding indignation meetings and os-

Though those who go to the fair may not be able to spend their Sundays there they will not suffer for something to see or do on Sunday in St. Louis. There will be ball games and other things, and perhaps some of the churches will be open all summer.

CAN KEEP HTS MOTHER.TN-LAW

William Giese Is an Illinois man who
 has raised an interesting question Awhile ago he married his fourth wife, the other three having gone to Heaven.
 Two of his wives were sisters, and MT
 Giese thought so we'll of the family that
 he allowed the mother of the sisters to live in his house, Of course the new
 fourth wife didn't like this, and she
 wasn't slow about saying so. But she
 couldn't move her husband, and so she
 moved. Dear Papa" she wrote, 'I did not have any thought of leaving you; I
 am only gone I will no longer live
 with your mother-in-laW. As soon as
 YOU have a home for me and your daughter you can let me know, and I will come back to you. Up to the time you get home you must support me. But with a strange woman I will not live. I will not do it. You ought to pay my board As this didn't bring MT. Giese down Mrs Giese brought an action against dear papa" for separate maintenance. The case was tried and a man said Judge Holdom, "has right to keep a mother-in-law in his house. just as he has a right to keep a dog. If the dog does not bite his wife can not complain because he keeps it in the house, and it is the same with an ex- mother-in-law-that is, the mother of former wife. If she doesn't harm any body the last wife has no grounds for I'll dismiss the bill for want of equity"
 How judge that understands the feelings of a fourth wife can give such a decision as this we don't know Per haps he doesn't understand those feel ings. and perhaps if he does he isn't that the feelings are in har- mony with law.

A representative of the Paris Matin recently had an interview in St. Peters burg with M. de Plehve, the new Rus sian Minister of the Interior who suc- ceeded the late M. Sipiaguine. M. de Plehye declared that the strength of the revolutionary party lay in the weak ness of the police and that the number of outrages would decrease in propor- tion to the increase of the police force. Moreover, Russian common sense would be a powerful auxiliary in the suppress sion of the revolutionary movement. As regarded the agitation among the peasants. M. de Plehve said he did not consider it of any importance. He an nounced his intention of abolishing the collective responsibility of the village communes in regard to the payment of taxes as the rresent system was ruin ous to the peasant, opening as it did the door to laziness. A new law effect ing important reforms in the matter would be put into force, he said, in Oc- tober next. Arrears of taxation amount ing to 190, ,000, 900 rubles would be remit ted to the peasants.
