Big Price for Walnut Stumps.
Nashville American.

Old walnut stumps are on a boom
throughout Tennessee. Stumps that have
remained unnoticed for years and were re-
garded as worthless are now eagerly sought
after at prices that seem almost fabulous.
An Indiana concern has had men travelling
over the country buying every old walnut
stump that could be found. AT first the
prices paid were small, but as the eyes of
the stick timber folks began to open the
prices went higher and higher, until now
they are out of sight, and the funny part
about ii is that the uglier, knottier and
more unsightly the stump the more money
ii will bring. The stump of walnut tree
that was cut down several years ago
brought more than the whole of the tree.
1t is stated that the stumps are made into
veneering material and used in the manu-
facture of high grade furniture.

COUNT WON BULOW ON THE
 TRIPIE ALLIANCE

Regarding the nature and the char
 acter of the Triple Alliance there no
 doubt exist a great many inaccurate
 conceptions. The Triple Alliance is not
 a profit-making syndicate It is an in-
 surance company. It is not offensive
 but defensive; it is not aggressive, but
 in the highest degree pacific, Count Stolberg has just said that the Triple
 Alliance does not rest upon an artificial combination. That is perfectly correct. Historically speaking, the Triple Alli- anee represents the reconciliation be- tween those national achievements which are the result of the struggles of the sixties and the seventies, and those principles of stability which, after the close of the storms of the Napoleonic wars. secured peace for Europe during half century on the basis of the treat ies of Vienna The Triple Alliance con- meets the past with the present, and as- sures the future. The Triple Alliance, moreover, does not exclude the possibil- ity of good relations between Its part ners and other Powers; and I would not consider it right if even small section of the German press were to manifest certain disquietude on account of the Franco-Italian arrangements Tn hap py marriage the husband must get into a state of excitement the moment he sees his wife having an innocent extra dance with some one else. The chief thing is that she does not run away from him, and she will not run away from him if she finds that it is with him that she is happiest Clear, hear).
 "The Triple Alliance. moreover i'm poses no irksome obligations upon the partners. In particular none of the partners-I just read in some press cut tings I have on the table before me that this was once pointed out already n the North German GaZette--none of the partners is obliged by the Triple Ali ance to maintain his military or naval forces at a prescribed level. It is open to each of the partners in the Triple AL liance to reduce his military and naval forces whenever he likes and however he likes. I am even inclined to think that without the Triple Alliance one or other of the partners would be compell- ed to make greater military exertIons and to incur a heavier military expen- allure than is the case at present when he IS a member of a strong group of Powers.
 The Franco-Italian arrangements concerning certain Mediterranean aues- tlons are not at all contrary to the

WALLS OF MANILA.
1 Plan to Provide Freer Egress and In- l ornsc ord proaarva ba

1 Plan to Provide Freer Egress and h. gress and Preserve the Relic. | There has been much said anent the ! walls of Manila, but a new idea, sug
 gested by a correspondent, is pertinent.
 Thus far there have been practically but two plans dscussed-that of the en-
 tire demolition of the wall and that of
 entire conservatism. It appears as if, | perhaps, happy medium or middle
 course might be pursued without doing violence to the feelings of any one. That the narrow gates are an ob- and provision will have to be made for freer ingress and egress This could be easily done and at the same time pre-
 serve the most picturesque gates and
 parts of the wall, by taking out the en- tire corner about the Intendencia build ing, strengthening the present road from the Magallanes monument so as to follow more closely the river bank and widening the Calle de Aduanas by talk ing in a strip of the old military hospi- tai lot alongside of the north side of the palace. By so doing broad entrance to the official part of Manila intramu- ros would be made.
 Then a broad opening might be made opposite the eastern end of Calle de Vic- toria, taking out as much of the wall as might be thought advisable, but pre- serving the most interesting part of all
 that from the Iglesia de Santo Do- ningo to the opening made at Calle de Victoria Within these limits are the Puntas de Isabela and Parian. The en- tire wall might also be removed from opposite Calle de Palacio but from the latter to opposite the western end of Calle de Victoria, including the corner facing the Luneta and LegaSpi monu- ment, the wall should be preserved. From Calle de Victoria, facing the bay, to Fort Santiago the wall might all be taken away thus allowing the city to be swept by ocean breezes."
 The plan here proposed would soothe the breasts of those whose esthetic sense would be outraged by further de- struction of what is picturesque relic of times long passed, and at the same time not do VlOlence to those or more sordid minds, whose thoughts and ac- tions are bounded solely by the dollar limit-that is, business.
 In looking down on the wall from the windows of the Intendencia, one is struck by the splendid opportunities for converting, with almost no alterations, the broad surface thereof into beauti- ful esplanade, Whereon thousands might promenade or sit and listen to music while refreshing the inner man with cooling beverages. Such structures are erected in many places at great expense for just this purpose, while for us here in Manila it has already been buila- Manila American.
