 spicuous feature of the coming
 worlds fair at St. Louis is received
 with evidences of general approval
 The announcement on the part of the
 management that 50 large a sum as
 S200,0O0 will be offered as prizes is in
 itself virtual guaranty that the
 character of the competition will be
 the highest.
 The City Savings Bank of Detroit has closed its doors and it's manager F. c. Andrews is in jail charged with wrecking the isstitution and getting away with over Sl,000,0O0 of it's funds.
 President Van Buren's son attended the coronation of Queen Victoria, and thereafter tried in vain to get rid of the title of "Prince John" which is thought to have partly caused the de- feat of his father for a second term. It will therefore scarcely do to speak of Princess Alice" after the King Edward ceremony.
 Col. Jack Chinn of Kentucky has not only disarmed himself, but he is otherwise setting an example for his fellow Kentuckians and the rest of mankind. When his foxhounds killed a widows sheep, not long since, Col. Jack not only paid her twice the value of her property, but slew seven dogs that had cost him S10O.
 D. R. Proctor of Chicago has written the St. Louis fair managers that he has mastered the secret of aerial navigation and will make the trip from Chicago to St. Louis in five hours.
 Secretary Gage served longer as the head of the treasury department than any other man except Albert Gallatin and Alexander Hamilton. He held office nearly five years. Albert Gallatin served longest, near ly twelve years, from 1901 to 1913. Alexander Hamilton's term was a little over five years, from 1789 to 1795. Under Secretary Gage the revenues and expenditures in one week exceeded those under Alexander Hamilton in whole year.
 Judge Teasdale of the circuit court of Kansas City granted the applica- tion of Frank James for injunction to stop the production, "The James Boys in Missouri" drama, depicting the James boys as train robbers and bank looters, which has been playing at local theatres. The James peti- tion alleged that the play was harm ful to the youth of the country, in that it glorified outlawry and made heroes of outlaws, and it said that it unjustly revived reputation that he had been trying to live down for twenty years.
 Colonel John A. Muir, superinten- dent of the Los Angeles devision of the s. P. company, has resigned and accepted the general management of the city electric roads of Los Angeles at salary of S12,0OO per annum. Colonel Randolph has been set up a peg higher, by being put in control of all the outside lines of the con- pany. It would appear that H. E. Huntington is drawing heavily upon the railroad experts of the Southern Pacific company. Both Messrs Muir and Randolph are among the best railroad men in the country, and no one knows it better than H. E. Hun tington, who is the owner of the cleo tric railway system of Los Angeles and surroundings.-Ex.
 San Francisco has another murder mystery similar to the Durant. case and one which so far puzzles the police. The nude body of Nora Full Ter, a sixteen year old girl was found on bed in an unoccupied house on Sutter street. Autopsy made it prac- tically certain that the girl was chlo- and then strangled. AL though she disappeared four weeks ago, when she met man calling him self John Bennett in answer to an for a girl to care for child, the autopsy of the surgeon is positive that she was killed within the last ten days. There was noth- ing to indicate that the girl and Ben nett, who went under the name of c. B. Hawkins, who is believed rented the house, lived there.
