Capitalization has, in the economic
phase of our life, destroyed that re-

a class and subiecting the masses: it
has brought us a caste system, an innate
enemy to democracy; 3. 1t has elevated
a political factor, which overshadows
the individual; 4. 1t is the work of CEN

to dominate the once sovereign States

days.
According to the II o'clock statement
of the physicians there was no marked
change in the condition of DR.. Talmage
tonight. If anything he was resting a

A New Society Needed.
lie New Orleans Times Democrat.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
There ought to be a Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Words and Phrases"
said a man with a cynical cast of counten-
ance, land l am reminded of the fact by
the constant and continued use of the ex-
preston, DO you understand With a great
many men the use of this expression is a
mania. Different men have different ways
of sounding the sentence. For instance,
one man will roll it off his tongue after
this fashion: ID y understand He will
start out to tell you something, d y I'M
derstand, and after saying a few words,
d. y unG -rstand, about some unimportant
detail, d. y understand, he will say a few
other nothings, d y understand he will
throw it at you again and the upshot of
the whole thing is the man spoils the effect
of his story and leaves you with an aching
desire to break away. D. y understand?
l never hear one Of those fellows without
thinking of Bill Nyes clever take off on
the man who spoiled his story by repeated
ly introducing the expression Jus like
feller will 1t is the same old thing. and
it seems to me that the fellows who are
going around using these foolish savings
ought to be muZzled in some way D. W
understand Is all right occasionally But,
seriously, man gets tire of it, I SUM-
pose the men who use the expression do it
without realizing what they are saving
There ought to be some polite way of re-
mindil.g them OF 1t SO that we could get
just a little less Of 1t. We ought to nut a
quietus on d y understand"

NOT REGARDED AS A PIRATE.
The Governments Attitude Toward
the Insurgent Admiral Killick.

Although reluctant to pass an opinion
upon such important matter without
the full knowledge of the facts in it's pres
ent lights, the government here does not
regard Admiral Killick, commanding the
rebellious Haytan gunboat Crete as a
pirate. 1t has found it necessary to pre-
vent him from interfering Illegally with
commerce, but a decision to do that does
not carry with it the opinion that he is
pirate. Touching the seizure Of the pro-
visional governments arms on board the
German steamer Markomannia, it is said
that much depends upon the point where
the merchant steamer was boarded by Ad
miral killck, and if this took place within
the three-mile limit then there is little dis
position to question the propriety of the
seizure. However, as it stands, the ques-
ton of I<iilicks status is one for oh ma
ton to determine for itself, and he will
have to reckon with the German govern
ment If it is disposed to make an issue of
the Markomannia incident.
An official denial has been made of the
published report that the administration
was seriously considering the annexation
of Hayti to the United States as the best
solution of the frequent political troubles
in that island The administration has
adopted policy of non-interference with
Hayti, just as it has always done in the
cases of Central and South American coun-
tries where revolutions are of frequent oc-
currence.

Admiring the Fit.

From the New York Tribune.
A story which has been going the rounds
Of social and church circles in Rochester,
N. Y, has aroused a great deal Of amuse..
ment at the expense Of a widely known and
well-liked young clergyman, whose position
as rector Of one Of the richest and most
state has brought him into prominence in
the affairs Of the Protestant Episcopal do
cese of western New York.
The tale is told as follows: A well-known
bishop Of the Episcopal church was pres
ent at ceremonial in this young rector's
church one day several weeks ago and
upon going away for q short business trip
tC suburban village. left his episcopal
robes in the care Of the young clergyman.
as had been his habit in other churches
under similar circumstances. A friend of
the young rector called to see him the next
afternoon and was told by the verger that
the Rev. Mr. Blank was in the vestry room
The visitor, who was on familiar terms
with the rector, FASTENED through the dark
ened church to the apartment indicat ed
The door was closed, and, without giving
It's occupant time to answer his knock in
person. he opened the door and entered
His establishment and entertainment NAV
be imagined when one reads that he dis
covered the young rector arrayed in the
complete vestments Of the absent bishop
stepping sideways and back before the long
pier glass. with the aid of which the clergy
men were accustomed to assume their
robes. The vestments were somewhat too
long. the visitor said, but they became the
young wearer admirably. What converse
ton passed between the two, or whether
the bishop noticed any change in the man.
ner in which he had done up the vestments,
has never been divulged. but the story. as
1t appears above has been told as too good
to consign to oblivion.

Public Clocks Of Paris,

From tine Detroit Free Press.
The municipal authorities will presently
be concerned with the letting OF the con-
tract for winding the public clocks of Paris
In an effort to secure uniformity In the
timepieces Of the city the budget is bur-
dened each year with an expenditure of
$4,000. The position Of official clock regu-
lator is no sinecure. There are seven
thousand clocks placed in the $50 build
ings of the Eceies Communales, in the
offices of the town hail. in the mayoral
quarters in each reimbursement, in the hos
pitfalls and other public Institutions directed
by the city fathers Generally the sum CT
IS pence is allowed for each clock. which
has to be kept III order and wound up
every fortnight. Some OF the clocks in
Guided In this category are very delicate
and complicated pieces of mechanism. For
instance, there is a wonderful clock in
the tower Of the concierge at the Palais
de Justice, which dates from Charles V.
The Corn Market and the Bourse have also
distinguished timepieces which demand
considerable care In their adjustment.

Shaved Thackeray's Bust.

From the ST. Paul Dispatch.
The bust Of Thackeray in Westminster
Abbey had several years ago upon its
checks those pendant whiskers that arc
called "weepers," from their resemblance
to the foliage OF the willow. Today the
whiskers are no longer there. Their de-
struction was due to William II. Lambert
of Philadelphia, the greatest collector of
Thackerayana in this country, who has
many portraits in oil. and many In Ink.
pencil and wash sketches of Thackeray,
and hence should know how the novelist
looked at every stage of his lfe.
Mr. Lambert is sure that Thackeray
never wore "weepers, and therefore he
volunteered not long since to stand the
expense of the removal Of the Objectionable
whiskers from the otherwise accurate and
spirited Marochetti bust. Mrs. Thackeray
Richie arranged the matter: the bust was
taken for brief space out Of Westmin-
ster, and the whiskers were trimmed down
to the proper length. MIR. Lambert was
permitted TO have a replica made Of the
Westminster bust, and Ii now stands on one
OF the landings of the stairway Of his house
in Germantown.

Flowers as Heat Producers.

From the Westminster Gazette.
Those fortunate enough to enjoy am
Alpine holiday during the present month.
are almost sure to espey the saldanella
snowbell, a dainty little plant about three
inches high, bearing two pendent-fringed,
white or violet bells each flower stalk.
They may often be found with the snow
still firmly frozen round the stem, and the.
question naturally arises: How did the bios
SONS, so much larger IN circumference,
make their way through? Botanists tell US.
that the plant forms its flower buds under
the snow, and in the process of breathing
evolves much heat that the encircling
snow is melted and trick!es down the stalk,
round which 1t frequently freezes again.
Thus gradually a dome-shaped cavity is
formed round the blossoms, and the process.
is continued till in many cases they succeed
in reaching the surface.
A modified form OF the same heat-produc-
ing power may be noticed in our native
foxglove. so familiar on banks and wood
land slopes during July and August. On
comparatively cool day. when little wind
is stirring, a thermometer carefully inserted.
In the bell-like flowers Of a plant growing
in a shady place will frequently register
temperature one or two degrees higher than
that of the surrounding air. More startling
results are however, obtained from plants
in which a number of small flowers are con-
gregated together within an outer sheath
or spathe as in the arums. The Italian
arum common in vineyards and along road
sides near the Mediterranean opens hts
spathe between 4 and q In the evening,

Worry a Disease.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
worrying is a disease" sad the barber.
The men who come In here with the long
faces and moan about their hard luck are
the people who never get on well with the
world. No matter what happens some men
are never satisfied. They would complain
of the lack of pearl in the gates of heaven
or the paucity OF color In a magnificent
sunset. They like to look on the dark side
of things. They like to think everybody has
got 1t in for them. They like to make
themselves and everybody else miserable.
How different is II with the man who takes
the storm and the sunshine with a smile.
who sees some compensation in all OF the
reverses OF life, who can look beyond the
grave TO something better! He may be out
of a job. he may be full-pursed or fiat
broke. but he is always the same. always
with a pleasant brow. always with pleas
ant smile. always happy. People love q
cheerful loser They love the man who
looks beyond the reverses of the hour to
the future, who ever takes the bubbles OF
fortune with a smile. who makes others
smile with him, who makes the world bet
ter and brighter that he has lived In II.
Those are the kind Of people who always
finish in front, somehow or other"

CALIFORNIA OLIVE CULTURE.
The Friars Began 1t More Than a Cen
fury and Half Ago.

rIom tne NdshNllle News
F. NJ Bisbee, formerly chief engineer OF
the Tennessee Central railroad. who has
just returned from an outing In the north
west, has been made general manager OF
the Los Angeles Land and Water Company
This corporation owns $50 acres of land
near Los Angeles, which, seven years ago.
was planted in olive trees. and now the
stockholders have commenced to reap a
rich harvest.
Ours Is the most extensive orchard on
the coast" said Mr.. Bisbee, land at that
we have only begun cur operations in that
locality. Recently We purchased 1850 acres
additional Land that adjoinS the orchard
from which we are now gathering fruit.
Two thousand Of these will be planted and
we think We have one Of the best revenue
producing properties going.
You can gain some idea Of the extent
of an olive yield when | tell you that this
year We have shipped from those seven
year-old trees 200 tons OF oil and 50.eg
gallons of pickles. which are now on the
market. And as the trees grow older they
bear more heavily. / have seen one little
orchard there the trees in which were
planted in 1863. almost 40 years ago, and
they are today bearing magniGceuuy.
Few people are aware Of it, but the pro-
ducing of olives in California was intro
duced by the friars more than a century
and a half ago. In those days. when primi-
tive civillzat ton was first blazing its way
along the Pacific slope. the friars conceived
the idea of establishing religious posts be-
tween Los Angeles and San Francisco, just
about q days journey removed from each
other. The object was to insure pleasant
instead OF laborious trips when moving up
and down the coast.
Everybody knows that the friars were
good livers. They liked olives. and ex-
perimented in planting with the pronounced
success which is yet apparent"

BRAVE ACT OF AN UNIDENTI-
FLED YOUNG MAN.
Seizes Bride of Runaway Horse and
Prevents Disaster-General
and Personal News.

The lives of many pedestrians who hap
pened to be traversing the Aqueduct bridge
yesterday afternoon about 4:30 O'Clock
were imperiled by runaway horse, but
the prompt action of an unknown young
man who stopped the frenzied animal pre-
vented a disaster. A great many people
were on the bridge at the time, and when
the cry of runaway was shouted, women
and children shrieked, and some Of the men
ran to place of safety
One young man. who had been riding his
bicycle across the bridge, glanced around
and saw the horse, with a pair of heavy
cart shafts dragging behind, rushing to-
ward him. After dismounting and cody
laying his wheel aside. he sprang at the
Bride which was hanging close to the ami
malls neck. He missed this, but managed
to get a good hold the animals name.
After running along with the horse a snort
distance he finally got hold of the bride
and brought the animal to a standstill. The
brave young fellow then turned the horse
over to a policeman and quickly rode away
without disclosing his name.
