FOURIER The PROPHET.
How He spoiled I:is Predictions by
Going Into Details.

1t is said Of Fourier. the socialist,
that he lad all the qualities of proph-
ct except vagueuess. His craze for pre-
cision spoiled his predictions for us.
The Speaker quotes Charles eide, the
economist. as cleverly showing what
Fourier lost 10y this:
"Thus if writing before the advent OF
railways he had confined himself to
stating that a man would I'm n single
day be able to start from Marseilles,
breakfast I'm Lyons and dine in Paris
his. provision would have been consid-
cred most remarkable, but since he
adds that the journey will be accom-.
pished upon the back Of supple and
elastic porter, who will be the anti
lion,' we roar with laughter
cor again IL he lad said simply that
people would some day be able to COM
municate instantaneously with each
other from one end OF the world to the
other Fourier would have been credit
ed with a rare degree Of intellectual
foresight. but as he thought best to de
scend to the particular. A certain yes
sci leaving London arrives in China to-
day: tomorrow the planet Mars, having
been advised OF the arrivals and move
ments of shps by the astronomers OF
Asia, will transmit the list to the as
tronomers OF London we again roai
with laughter and forget that he hai
arrived by the fantastic machinery o'
the Imagination at the same results al
the telegraph aud the telephone"

cal Capital Out Of It,

Washington. ID. c., June 15.-Miss
Rebecca Taylor of Minnesota, VINO
was discharged by the secretary OF
war because of her criticisms OF the
presidents Philippine policy, is likely
to become a prominent feature in the
next presidential campaign, as Wen
as in the congressional campaign this
fall.
The Democrats hope to make large
political capital out of her case ana
IL will be brought up in congress as
often as possible. An endeayor VIII
be made to show that Miss Taylor
discharge was not a violation OF the
civil service law, and that the law is
practically null and void under the
Republican administration.
Miss Taylor is the second clerk tc
be dropped by Secretary Root from
the war department for similar
cause. Her predecessor was Noble T.
Dawson, who was confidential sten
ographer to General Miles in 1898 anC
1899, and who, it is said, furnished
to outside persons written communi
cations practically charging Presi
dent Mckinley with being involved
in a blot to entrap General Miles int
conduct which would make it neces
sary to court martial him, and thu
destroy his prestige.

Atoka, /. T., June 14.-There have

out from the convention held at Tus-

succeeded in doing il, in many of the

the facts are what you desire, as you
want the news, regardless of fac

BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
HaIf-MiIe Track at Fairgrounds to BE
Built-Other Matters.

Members of the executive committee of
the State Board of Agriculture journeyed
out to the fair grounds yesterday morning
to inspect the grounds and see what re-
pairs were needed. Before the members
returned to the city they decided CT build
ing a half-mile training track inside the
present mile track. The track will be built
of material that will dry quickly, so that
training will not be interfered with in
rainy weather. 1t is thought the track
can be built for $3.50.
The members also let the contract for
the hangers" or posters, that will be
used in advertising the State Fair. Secre-
tary Downing is negotiating with Mr..
Brookes. director of the Chicago Marine
Band, to play every day that the State
fair is held. The contract with Sousa has
not been signed. the latter wants too
much money. If the proper arrangements
can be made with the Marine Band it is
thought likely that the Sousa attraction
will be dispensed with this year.
Mr.. Downing said yesterday that. in view
of the fact that this year the State Board
of Agriculture Will celebrate its golden
jubilee as an organization, ii has been
planned by the members of the board TO
make the fair one of the largest and most
successful ever held in this State. The
premium list has been largely increased.
mainly in the horse, cattle and poultry
departments In the horse department ii
is thought that Indiana this year will
exceed many of its sister States.
