This is the last day of the carnival.
II has been designated as ''Tri-City
Day and will be given over To the
people of the tri-cities to do what
they have been doing all Neek-mak-
ing merry. There win be no Sunday
session of the carnival, and today
will be the last opportunity. The
Elks and everybody else expect this
will be one of the largest days of
the season of merry making. One of
the features will be a burlesque par
ade of the Darktown Fire brigade.
Darktown will be without fire pro-
lection for this day at least, as the
fire brigade will be here to man,
and the quiet tip is being given on
the side that the parade will eclipse
anything else that has been seen here
this week. The rain and chilly wea
tner was a decided dampener to the
carnival yesterday, but there were
thousands of people on the streets
nevertheless. When the crowd gath
cred in one place, as at the scene of
the high dive on Perry street in the
afternoon, there was a mighty null
titude. But in the evening there was
no crowd to assemble.

alton at the rate of about S25 day
for his services in keeping some of
the bad people away and making
others behave. The authorities adj
mired Eeise's nerve in making such
a spiel as this, but he was chased be-
yond the limits just the same. The
fakirs he was knocking" were also
chased.

As Henry Kuehl, the grocer, in bust
ness at the northeast corner of
Fourth street and Western avenue,
was going to- his home, near Fifth
and Warren streets. at midnight
Thursday night, he met with an ex-
perience. Just after passing the
German Bethlehem congregational
church he was startled to see a man
jump from out the roadway. between
the lumber piles of the Christ Muel-
Ter yards there, and rush towards
him. The stranger tried to grasp
his throat, but Mr.. Kuehl, with rare
presence of mind, thwarted his pur-
pose and swung both right and left
upon his assailant, telling him to the
walk and tumbling him thence into
the gutter.

80 Minutes.

From thirty-nine hours to thirty nine
minutes for message around the
world is far stride IN marine teleg-
raphy, but it is to be made in sing e
bound by the Pacific Cable Company
in the laying of cable from -an ran
cisco to the Philippines and thence to
the Chinese coast.
1t seems that Boston man about a
month ago sent cablegram around
the world in thirty-nine hours. 1t is
probable that the completion of the
new cable by an all-American route TO
the Orient will enable a message to
girdle the earth in less time than
thirty-nine minutes.
Under the terms of agreement be-
tween the cable company and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, arranged in pursuance
of the law passed at the last session of
Congress, the company agrees to lay a

Two Clever Statesmen.

One crisis in LORD Palmerston's life
illustrates the absolute good humor
which may prevail even when political
enmity is at its worst. Lord Derby had
made an attack upon him in the upper
house with such energy and eloquence
that the odds against him seemed over
whelming. But he defended himself
and his policy from the dusk of one
day TO the dawn of another with such
tact, dexterity and force of appeal to
the national sense of honor that he was
acquitted of all blame by majority Of
fourscore.
Next day in passing through the cor
ridor leading from an anteroom to the
upper house one swing door opened to
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby. They
were opponents, but they were also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled.

Fashionable Life In Italy.

The fashionable season in Italy, says
Luigi Villari in Italian Life In Town
and Country" is from Christmas to
Easter, the time generally known as
the carnival. At Naples, Messina and
some other places there is also a sum
mer season. Commenting on the pc
euliarities of life among the upper
classes, Mr.. Villari says:
italians, even in the grandest estab-
lishments, do not wear evening dress
for dinner unless there is a party. A
black coat is enough for ordinary pur-
poses. A few men who wish to be par
ticularly fashionable wear smoking
coat with a black tie, which garment
is sufficient for all save very large din
ner parties and balls. On the other
hand, there are occasions when man
dons his dress clothes by day. 1t is Gle
rigueur at court functions, even in
mornings, and at weddings. Ladies
wear hats at the theaters except on
gala nights. They display more jew
elry by day than English ladies. The
Italian aristocracy have magnificent
Jewels, and even in quite small towns
where there is no great wealth. the old
families can make a fine display. The
tall hat is only necessary at maria ges
funerals and at court Young men OF
fashion wear it also when paying calls
during the season. Among the bour.
geoisie evening clothes are hardly ever
worn at ALL

Guam, thence to Manila and thence to
Shanghai, China. The company fur
ther agrees to lay a cable from Guam
Island to Yokohama, Japan, thus COM
pleting an all-American route from the
Pacific coast to both the Chinese and
Japanese coasts, and completing the
connecting link in globe-circling sys-
TEN of telegraphic communication.
The clause of the agreement that is
of greatest popular interest at this
time is the one which provides that
the government may at any time buy
the cables at valuation to be fixed by
disinterested parties. The way is
therefore left open for the United
States to inaugurate at any time the
system of government ownership and
control of the lines Of marine commu-
nication.

1t Happened in Church.

Two mischievous girls who were
members of church choir in a coun.
try town figured recently in a laugh
able incident. In some way they be
came possessed of the subject of the
minister's Sunday sermon, and there
upon set about selecting songs in han
mony with the theme.
On Sunday morning one of them
seated at the organ played "Faint yet
Persuing," which was sung as a volun-
tary. Then the minister arose, and
consulting the list which had been
given him, called number 395. The
choir sang almost Persuaded"
The minister arose and announced
the theme, sCourtship and Marriage" !"
read the lesson and called the next
song. The choir sang Triumph at
Last" and the congregation began to
look amused, "After prayer sing num-
Der 20l," said the minister, and in his
petition asked that the spirit of levity
which possessed some of his hearers
be banished. Then the choir sang
"Hasten Lord the Glorious Day." and
everybody laughed. Even the minister
had difficulty in sitting smile when
the choir struck up, ''Behold the Bride
groom Cometh," and the congregation
became positively hilarious as the
organ pealed out the notes of "What
Shall the Harvest Be?'
And throughout those wicked girls
reserved their expression of sanity in
nocence and afterwards decided that it
was 'the most peculiar and striking
coincidence" they ever heard Of

WISDOM OF THE WIDOW.
Views of a Man Who Does Not Agree
With Tony Weller.

With Tony Weller.
The man who marries a girl just out
OF school has need of much shrewdness,
tact and fortitude, for the first year of
matrimony will produce n violent revo-
luton in her mind. AS she learns to
know her husband-she who has never
seen him except when he had his best
coat on--she will deem him brute and
will be disappointed and disgusted, for
she will compare him with that impos-
sible ideal of manhood which every
girl has In her mind and of which he,
of course, falls short. But with ex-
perience will come wisdom. In time
she will understand that her girlhood'a
ideal, if she were to have him in the
flesh, would be an unbearable prig,
and that her husband Is about as good
as men go and even-if she loves him
a little better than the next man.
A widow has all this knowledge of
men and of the world, which spinster
lacks. A man talks to widow freely
as to one who has found him out. She
Is expert in the arts of pleasing him,
and if bright young widow sets her
cap for man he can escape her only
by flight. A widow has no illusions
and no ideals She is well trained and
used to going double, while the spinster

The Public Lands.

The report of the Secretary of the In
terror for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1902, has just been made public.
1t refers to the passage of the law for
the reclamation of arid lands at the
last session of Congress, and says:
ION the day following the passage Of
the Act plans were submitted by the
Director of the Geological survey for
putting it into effect, and these being
approved by me, survey parties were
at once put in the field to obtain all of
the facts concerning the feasibility of
various projects.
"Great care is being exercised in Sc
lecting projects which will be Of the
greatest benefit to the country, and
which will return to the Treasury the
cost of the undertaking, keeping in
tact the fund for new works. No con-
siderations of expediency or sentiment
can be tolerated, but only those MAX
ing the work a success from business
standpoint
The report shows that there were
disposed of during the fiscal year pub
lie lands aggregating 10, 4sS, $50. 80
acres, an increase of 1926, 739 acres as
compared with the aggregate disposals
for the preceding fiscal year.
The total cash receipts during the
| fiscal year from various sources, inelud-
ing disposal Of public land was SO, $780,

which S93, 955, ,476 acres are undisposed
Of
Continuing, the report says:
"The avowed policy of the Govern
ment to preserve the public domain for
homes for actual settlers has no more
implacable and relentless foe than the
class that seeks to occupy the public
lands for grazing purposes, by main
tanning unlawful fences thereon"
Referring to the bill pending in Con-
gress for leasing public lands for graz
ing purposes and reserving homestead
and mineral rights, the report says:
"Should that bill become law, the
public domain in the sixteen States
and Territories mentioned therein, ag-
gregating an area of 525, 10000 acres s
practically all of the vacant public do
main west of the Mississippi, would l. e
subject to lease at cents per acre for
ten years, with a privilege of renewal
for ten years more. 1t is needless to
say that such bill, if enacted into
law, would place the last acre of desir-
able public land out of the reach of the
homeseeker and defeat the purpose of
the government to preserve the public
domain for homes for actual settlers.
sit would also defeat the operations
of the Reclamation Act, and makes poa-
sible the formation of land monopoly
never contemplated by the public LAID
system, but which, on the contrary, it
is one of the purposes of that system
to prevent"

Free Hospital.
OF DOUGLAS COUNTY

As a monument of gratitude because
his daughter, heiress to great wealth,
has been reclaimed from a life of utter
helplessness and given one of activity
and enjoyment, j. Ogden Armour, mil
Iionaire, now turned philanthropist,
like his father, has begun making plans
for the "Lolita Armour Institute of
Bloodless Surgery" which is to be en-
dowed with $4,000, 900. The first active
step in that direction was taken last
week at Mr.. Armour's Chicago home.
Mr. Armour announces that the hos
pital shall be absolutely free to whom
soever may need treatment. There is
not to be knife in the place. This
was settled by DR.. Lorenz on behalf OF
his assistant. DIR. Lorenz said the
night he accepted the degree Of doctor
of laws of Northwestern university
that the doom of the knife was sealed,
that it should not be used. So it is to
be with the new Armour institute.
Mr. Armour said he had selected the
site and that the only thing remaining
to be done is the construction of the
building and the equipment. 1t was
decided that the hospital will need an
endowment of nearly $4,000, 900 to in
sure an income of 100000 year.
Thus many children may live to
bless Lolita Armour
