PEOPLE AND THEIR MONEY.

It is a constant source of surprise to us to find people so ready to be caught by the very crudest and gaudiest baits offered for their acceptance by those who believe that other peonple's mon ey is their natural source of revenue. One would imagine that, in these days of fierce competition, any one who had enough common sense and business judgment to accumulate some savings would have sense enough to know that when stock in an oil company or mining company is offered to him at p cents a share or , cents a share, with the threat that it will be advanc- ed by a certain date if he does not buy it now, he had better keep his money in his pocket and not try to get rich quick in this way. It has probably occurred to good many people read ing the flaming advertisements of pro- motors with something to sell that there is too much philanthropy in an offer to sell at 90 cents to-day, with an assurance that the price asked will be 6O cents week from to-day, for the offer to be strictly healthy Yet, this particular bait seems to entice any number of people, because if it did not 1t would not be used as commonly as it is. Promoters of oil, mining and oth- CT companies hardly fall by virtue of their business within the class of phi lanthropy.
 It is a good rule to follow that what ever is advertised for sale in the way of stock in this manner is better left alone. These are times when almost unlimited capital is available for enter prises that have a reasonable chance of success. No one who has a good commercial or industrial proposition need fear that he cannot get capital for it from some banking concern.
 Of course, there might be cases where a genuine business opportunity might not, for one reason or another be suitable from the point of view of banking house, but even then. it is very safe to say that, provided the op- | portunity was an opportunity. the caD- l ltal would be raised more easily and with less expense than by half-page or page advertisement in a newspaper.
 Unfortunately, there is only too much reason to believe that promoters l following these methods succeed in getting a good deal of money from wo- men, and from people who do not know any better. We have had many let 1 ters asking for advice in such matters. and only too often has the advice been asked when it was too late. Un- doubtedly advertisements of this kind appeal to the speculative spirit that is inherent in human nature. People who buy these things have a feeling that perhaps when they buy some stock for i five or ten cents a share in some Texas oil company, they may some day see that stock quoted at the price of the I Standard Oll. Needless to say. in ducements of this kind are held out in the prospectus as rule.-Wall l Street Journal

J. Sherwood Case of Brooklyn, N

J. Sherwood Case of Brooklyn, N. Y., possessor of the identical theater program which President Lincoln held in his hand at the time of his assas- sination, has applied for space for it's exhibition at the St Louis worlds fair. h reply to letter from him asking about provision for the safe keeping of the precious relic, Secre- tary Stevens has written as follows: Your application has been filed with the committee having charge of the historical exhibits. It is strongly probable that one of the Washington university buildings will be set apart especially for the exhibits, which promise to be not only numerous, but of great value and interest. The ex- position management has received tenders of historical relics from this and other countries which encourages the belief that the collection will form one of the most interesting features of the exposition"

QUEEN HELEN CAN SHOOT.

Queen Helen of Italy iG an expert with rifle and revolver, and beat her husbands best target score, although he has the reputation of being mighty hunter
 Her record is by no means conhed 10 target practice. either. When she was Princess of Montenegro, hunting was her favorite sport, and she has had many exciting adventures with big game
 When she went to Italy as Princess of Naples she missed her hunting more than any other feature of her girl life. The prince had targets put up in the gardens at Capo d Monte villa, and shooting matches were held there.
 The princess invariably carried off the honors, even when pitted against her husbands male friends or the prince himself. Still, target practice did not quite take the place of real hunting. so her husband guessed again.
 This time he gave his wife the Island of Monte Cristo to have and to hold as a happy hunting ground, and there she had glorious sport with her guns and her dogs every season until the assas- sination of king Humbert called her to the trone.
 Now she has left off killing game and has gone back to target shooting, but she does not neglect her practice or lose her enthusiasm.--NeW York Sun.

s.Great importance is attached to the address made by Lord Salisbury before the Primrose league in London, be- cause of his very definite and positive statement of tue position of the Brit ish government with regard to the terms upon which the Boer war may be ended,'' writes an exchange Lord Salisbury with great emphasis asserted that Great Britain had not receded an inch from it's position or policy. He did not propose that it should be left in the power of the enemy, when oppor- tunity might suit, to renew the issues for which they have been fighting for the last three years. Still more con- clusively. if possible, was his state ment that when the present conflict was over all that could be done would be done to mold the present opponents into portion of the empire which had conferred so many blessings on the human race' 1t remains to be seen whether the Boer leaders who are ac- lively carrying on the war will accept terms of peace which would make in- possible anything like future national independence. If they are willing to accept this position, it is probable that they will insist upon such guarantees for the near future that the people of the Transvaal may within a reasonable time enjoy those condition. of self-gov- ernment which the Canadians now have. Lord Salisbury alluded with considerable indignation to the ques- ton lately asked by John Morley, whether any members of the cabinet of 1899, if they could have foreseen the result of their policy as it actually worked out, would not have reversed the policy which was leading to these results Lord Salisbury denied that anything had happened to make the British statesmen regret that their pol icy had not been reversed

THE MONO RAIL.

Everyone is asking what the mono rail is, which common report says is to reyolutionize the railroad '.Why mono-rail?' To which the originator of this kind of railway, F. +. Behr, would unhesitatingly answer, in the diconcerting manner of the immortal Alice company, "Why not?' Boiled down, one's first startled antagonism to the idea of the single rail is found to have no other base than the unusual ness of the project. Trains always have to be run upon two lines of rails, and it seems to belong to the very na- ture of things that they should continue so to run to the end of time. But the engineer, who has fully inherited from his martial uncle, the sapper, the pro- pensity to set all conventional notions at naught, blandly asks If we are quite sure that railway trains do run on two rails. They rest on a pair of rails, it is true; but the engineer suggests that all four-wheeled carriages owe their stability at high speeds to the generally unsuspected fact that they then run upon what is essentially single track, the width of their wheel base. In the case of the ordinary railway, the track is five feet wide. The circumstance of the middle portion being cut away is immaterial. It is made one track by the rigidity of the axle of the vehicle At anything like a high rate of speed the railway carriage becomes virtually bicycle-that is to say, it runs on one linear path, and is as safe from over turning us a well driven hoop If any body wishes to know what happens when a carriage really runs upon more than q single linear track, let him try rounding a corner sharply, or negotiat- ing a rough road on q tricycle.. If still unsatisfed, let him replace the rigid axles of four-wheeled vehicle with ropes and go for a sharp 1rive, the doc tor following in cab.-Pall Mall Ga- zette.

Miss Stones second paper on her ex- periences, in the June McClure's, IS fully as interesting as the first, though perhaps in different way. The frst was full of action, excitement and suls- capture, the flight, the threats of the brigands, the disclosure of the blot. etc. The second installment set tles down to more matter of fact, but none the less unique, chronicling, as Miss Stone attempts to describe what life among brigands really is. The brigands it seems were of varying dyes of criminality-there were the Good Man. and the Bad Man. (the leaderl, the young man whom Miss Stone per suaded to swear off, cigarettes, and the young man who mocked; the pious brlgand and the scoffer. Of course time hung very heavy on the captives hands; it was only occasionally that the brigands would let them out of the hut for a walk in the evening. Once Miss Stone started to sing, but the Bad Man. very promptly hushed her up. After a while, when winter was ap- preaching, the brigands brought them thick. coarse wool to make into winter garments, and hemming and stitching lifted the monotony for little while. Another diversion was watching the hrioauds play games. Thanksgiving day brought its turkey, too, the Good
 Man. having been given the hint by Mrs Tsilka, and the plan carried out as a surprise for Miss Stone. Altogeth-
