OF the committee on foreign relations
and an interested member of the COM
mittee on civil service and retrench-
ments, his every minute is occupied
and, moreover, he is recognized as the
special representative of the president
on the floor of the senate. In addition
to his ardent and energetic champion
ship of reciprocal relations with Cuba,
policy for which he has made many
friends, he has found time to prepare
and introduce bill providing for the
reorganization of the consular service
along civil service reform lines.
Tie new bill, which has been refer
red to the committee on foreign rela
tions, provides for four grades of con-
sui generals and six grades of consus,
to all of whom a fixed salary shall be
paid in lieu of fees. The bill provides
for two consul generals at salaries Of
$40, COO each and from that down to
fifty of the sixth class at salaries Of
81 800 each. Provision is made for the
promotion of consuls from one grade
to another, it being the intention to
place the service on permanent mer-
it basis. Within one year the service
must be classified, the present incum-
bent being classed as nearly as posi-
bic in accordance with their present
compensation, and within two years
those incumbents must have been re-
called and passed an examination by
the permanent board, which is desig-
mated by the bill to consist of the sec
retary of state, a consul general or
consul selected by The president, and
three members Of the civil service
commission. The measure further pro-
vides for five consular inspectors at
salaries of $4,000 each.
Mr.. Joel P. Heatwole, republican
representative from Minnesota, told
me yesterday that there seemed to be
a likelihood of Hollands enacting a
retaliatory tariff on American flour
which might prove hardship to the
Minneapolis millers and through them
to the farmers of the northwest. 1t
seems that under the provis ons Of the
Dingley tariff bill there is heavy duty
on Towering bulbs, large quantities Of
which we import from Holland. We
are unable to grow these bulbs in the
United States and presumab bly, the duty
is for revenue only, of which it yields
an inappreciable amount, although it
is regarded as hardship by the dutch
growers. Holland uses large quanti-
ties of American -four and tariff on
that product would prove an injury to
American farmers. Mr. Heatwole and
his colleague Mr., Tawney, are in favor
of some form Of reciprocal arrange
ment which will nollify the Dutch con.
sumers of American flour.

Looking for Sport.

The lovers OF racing are attempting to

local horses pitted against each other
and there will be more sport from this

There are at least twenty gentlemen
who believe they have horses with some
good blood and with these they will
make the trys againgt each other.

some merchandise prizes.

has been quite dull and the gentlemen
concerned in this movement believe that
they can enliven things greatly by hav-

Forest Fires.

raging throughout the timber districts
OF the state. In the vicinity of Sahda

threatened with danger. Near there, one
entire family has perished from the fire

There is law to prevent campers
from leaving fire. which may prove dan
gerous, but it seems that it is never pos
sible to locate those who are guilty OF
the offense. When once forest fire il
started, it seems almost impossible to
stop it, and many thousands OF feet Of
valuable timber are destroyed.

destroyed but much valuable pasture as

WEDDING sUPERsTlTlONS.

The bride should not fail to shed a
few tears on her wedding day. 1t is
an omen of good luck in the future.
1t is unlucky for the bride to enter
the church before the ceremony at one
door ana leave after the ceremony by
another door.
The bride should always cut the first
piece of her wedding cake and pour out
the first glass of wine for her guests
if there are not too many.
If the bride drops her handkerchief
on the wedding day and the bride
groom picks it up, it is sign that in
the future he will play second fiddle.
1t is said to be unlucky to tie shoes
to any part of the carriage in which
the bride and bridegroom go away, but
it is lucky TO throw an old shoe after
the bride as she enters the carriage
In leaving the church the bride will
do well to place her right foot fore
most if she wishes to be happy,
healthy, etc, in the future, and she
should always be the first to call her
husband by name.

PENNY POSTAGE.
The Incident That Led fO Its Estab-

The Incident That Led to Its Estab-
lishment In England.
Many years ago. when Queen Vic
tOria first began to reign, it cost nine
pence to send letter from one Eng
lish city to another. In those days the
postage was not paid by the sender
of the letter, as is now customary, but
by the receiver. So. of course. there
were many poor people who could not
afford to pay ninepence when their
mail arrived. and it often happened
that they were obliged to forfeit the
letters.
One day 4 man named Rowland Hill
was riding on the outskirts of a city,
and he saw a postmar bring letter to
young girl and demand ninepence
for it. The girl took the letter, scru-
tinized it carefully and then handed it
back to the man, saying she could not
afford to pay the postage. Thereupon
Rowland Hill, being Il kind hearted
man, rode up ana insisted upon paying
it himself. When the postman had
gone. the g:rl confessed to her bene-
factor that the letter was from her
lover, and to avoid paying ninepence
on every letter he made certain marks
on the envelope which she alone could
decipher.
But" said Rowland Hill, don't
you know you are doing something
very dishonest in thus cheating the
governments"
The girl admitted she did. but there
was no other way TO do.
Hill rode away and meditated over
this little incident. and his farfamed
idea of penny postage" was the re-
suit, At first he was laughed at by
every one, but he fought braveIy ana
finally was rewarded by seeing his
idea in practice all over the land.-New

celebrity, and when he found his celeb

cess he did everything that he could
think of to extend the exploitation of
his name. This was not to nourish
ValI lmaginings or because he felt ex-

Around his successive homes at
Bridgeport, Conn, he was fond of mt.
ting something that suggested show.
Queerly marked cattle, the sacred COW
or an elephant was frequently among
the stock to be noticed in his fields.
On one occasion he had an elephant
engaged in plowing on the sloping hill
where it could be plainly seen by the
passengers on the New Haven and
Hartford railroad, an agricultural inno-
vation that he knew would get notice
of some sort in every newspaper in the
country. 1t was even said that he re-
ceived letters from farmers far and
wide asking how much hay one ele-
phant ate and if it was more profitable
to plow with an elephant than with
horses or oxen. His replies were in
variably frank and We're of this pur-
port: If you have a large museum in
New York and a great railway sends
trains full of passengers within eye
shot of the performance, it will pay,
and pay well, but if you have no such
institution then horses and oxen will
prove more economical.-JoelB Benton in
