DIPLOMATS MOVE Up
now THE RECENT CHANGES WILL
AFFECT THE SERVICE.

Memsers of the Corps Who Profit by
Embassadoy Whites Retirement.
New Minister to Brazil Regain Ills
Career as a Railroad brakeman.
The retirement of Andrew d. White
rs ambassador to Germany has result
ed in a general shift being made in our
diplomatic representatives ut European
CAPITALS. The changes made are main
ly in the line of promotion and in rec
ognition of able and faithful service,
They will go into effect Nov. /.
The transfer of ambassador Charlie
magne Tower of Pennsylvania from
Russia to Germany is a distinct al
yancement and rounds out a diplomatic
service which has stamped him as
worthy and able representative OF his
country.
Robert S. Mccormick, who leaves the
post of ambassador to Austrla-Hunga-
ry to take the billet in Russia, takes
step forward, the st. Petersburg port
folio being next in diplomatic impor-
tance to those at the court Of st.
James, Paris and Berlin.
Bellamy Storer, by going from Spain
TO Austria-Hungary, advances from
the rank of minister plenipotentiary to
that Of ambassador extraordinary, the
highest rank in the diplomatic service.

A Wise Answer.

The shah once asked a group of court
iers whom they thought the greater
man-himself or his father. At first
he could get no reply to so dangerous
a question, the answer to which might
cost the courtiers their heads. At last
n willy old courtier said, "Your father,
SIRE for, though you are equal to your
father in all other respects, in this he
is superior to you-that he had a great
er son than any you have"

RHfIrOadiuu Terms,

Railroading terms in England and
America differ very widely. The Eng
fish would speak Of shunting train.
We call it switching. Freight trains
they call goods trains, coaches are car
riages, conductors are guards, engi-
neers are drivers, trucks are boggles
and freight cars are wagons The
British always say station instead Of
depot, and in that they have the bet
ter Of us. Rails they call metals and
tracks permanent ways. They do not
get their tickets at a ticket office, but
at a booking office, and the smokestacl
Of the locomotive is to them the Chin
ney. A railroad man going from one
country to the other finds that he has
to learn an entirely new set Of phrases
about his business

The Extinct Northern "sea Cow"

In the year 1854 the Boring explor-
ers discovered gigantic species of ryti-
nae, or northern sea cow. These enOr-
nous manatees were similar in gener-
al habits to those of the South Ameri-
can coast and were from twenty to
thirty feet in length and from ten to
twenty feet in girth. They were very
stupid, harmless beasts and lived by
browsing on seaweeds and other ma
rine growths near the land, The sail
ors were not slow in finding out that
a sea COW steak beat seal meat AL
hollow" From 1904 until 17GS they
were the principal food Of the sailors
and explorers on our western coast.
This being the case, it is not at all sur
prising that the northern sea cow, new
er a very numerous Species should be-
come extinct in the short space Of four
teen years. The last of the giant man
atees was killed in September, 176S, a
few months less than fourteen years
after the discovery of the first one.

on a paying basis. He was lucky in all
his investments. His charities have
made his name known throughout the
state. Every Christmas he gives a car
load of -four to the poor of Lincoln,
where he has a palatial home. At the
time of the Omaha exposition he invir-
ed all the children of Lincoln between
the ages of eight and sixteen to see the
show. Twelve hundred children accept
ed. and he paid all their expenses. On
another occasion he sent 500 children
and 300 women, daughters and wives
of workingmen, to the Chautauqua as
sembly at Beatrice paying all their
expenses. He lent $4,000 to the state
to bring the First Nebraska regiment,

from San Francisco. He never got the
money back. and he doesn't expect to.

in Spain, while not advancing in rank
goes to a much more important diplO-
matic post. Professor Hardy at Ma
drid will restore the old traditions of
scholarship in association with diplO-
macy. He has had a varied service as
minister, going first to Persia, then to
Greece and later to Switzerland. He is
known as the author of several good
novels, of various essays and reviews
and half a dozen textbooks on mathe-
mates, the branch which he taught
when a member Of the faculty at Dart
mouth college.
Professor Hardy is to be succeeded
at Bern by Charles Page Bryan of Hi
nois, who is now minister to Brazil.
Mr.. Bryan was appointed by President
Mckinley to be minister to China, but
owing to his health, having for years
been threatened with lung trouble, Mr..
Bryan asked the late president not to
he sent there. In Difference to his re-
quest Mr.. Conger, then minister to
Brazil, was sent to China, where he
came near to losing his life, while Nj,
Bryan went to Brazil.
The new appointment, that of David
e. Thompson of Nebraska, who now
goes to Brazil, is interesting because it
adds one more rung in the ladder of a
man who began at the bottom as a
brakeman on a railroad.
Mr.. Thompson laid the foundation
for his wealth by purchasing a wildcat
life insurance business and placing II

Many N. e. A.: Delegates Remain to
Take Course-some Over

: Though registrationi wifi mot be COM
pleted until this evening, the regular
routine work of the university summer
school has already begun with regis
tered attendance of over 1000. DIR. D.
L. Kiehle, who is conductor of the school,
expresses himsel' fas much gratified over
the large body OF students, which in
numbers surpasses last years attendance.
A large body of NJ E. "A. delegates from
Wisconsin, Iowa and the 4Dakotas has
aided in increasing the attendance. In
view of their advanced standing and grade
Of work. only a nominal fee has been
charged them. / ;
One feature of the special work. which
by some oversight was omitted from the
circulars, is the industrial work in
charge of Mrs. L. e.. Tinsley, who has
recently returned from an extended trip
in Mexico and California, where she has
been studying the latest methods in bas-
ket and rug weaving. Mrs. Tinsley' s
idea is to introduce the industrial work
into the country schools of Minnesota and
for that reason she has made a special
study of material within the means and
reach Of the district school teacher.
Cornhusks, willow twigs, cattatls and
'bulrushes are among the materials which
are utilized to produce most unique and
artistic effects both in baskets and mats.

Mrs. Tinsleys, has even a more unusual
