emphatically that she Is engaged to De
married to Capt. Richmond T. Hopsoh.
Poor fellow! That's what he gets for
OVERRIDING the kissing business.
In recent address by public man.
the following figures are given, winch
we commend to the notice of those pes
simists who see the country going from
bad to worse, the masses growing poor
er, and hopeless poverty their maj coh-
dillon: FIFTY years ago there were on
Nv los savings banks in the United
States with 251.354 depositors and sa3,-
43l, 1870 on deposit, an average OF Slt2.io
for each depositor In 1900 there were
LOOP saving banks with 5,Si5,456 de-
positors, and s2,Ss4.770,s49 of deposits,
being an average Of s4O5.S0 for each de-
positor.'
The bank burglary industry has re-
viyed. 1t had died out for season, but
the burglars must have spent all their
proceeds on Christmas gifts, since they
are at 1t again in full force.
The English national hymn is revised.
God Save Our Lord, the King" Instead
Of God Save Our Gracious King.
Well just so he's saved, the the people
will be satisfied.

500 aliens We're discharged and sent out
of the country. Business must be at
low ebb when such drastic measures
are adopted to protect their own peo-
pie.
A German naval constructor returned
from the United States, reports that
American shipbuilders, despite higher
wages, are successfully competing with
European builders. In view of this,
how about ship subsidies?
Congressman Kern, of Illinois, has
introduced bill providing for the re-
establishment of the army canteen ex-
actly as 1t was organized before con-
gress at the last session authorized
its abolition. 1t is not believed there is
much chance of this measure becom-
ing a law at this session, altho there
is considerable sentiment in favor of
1t. The law abolishing the canteen
has been in effect only short time,
and the secretary of war and some OF
the other officials are in favor of giving
1t longer trial. 1t really ought to
have longer trial.
Ohio's governor, too, has some ideas
of the taxation of corporations. Gov.
Nash, in his message to the legisla-
ture, urges a change in the taxation
laws so as to make corporations pay
state expenses.
President Roosevelt has decided to
yield to Admiral Schley's request for an
appeal to him as ommander-in-ch chief
of the army for reversal of Secretary
Longs approval of the committees
finding. but this by no means implies
that he will reverse it. In fact If he is
correctly reported by those who claim
to know, he will let 1t stand. AT the
same time it may give him an oppor-
tunity to accord to Schley just tri-
