THREE SIMPLE QUESTIONS

Ana the Libra riMn Could Not Answer

One day two well dressed young wo-
men approached the desk of the read

took memorandum from her pocket
book.

For the third time the official was
obliged TO confess his inability to give
her direct Information. She looked at
him with piercing gaze and turned
away, saying audibly to her compan-
ion:
There, that just shows what all this

Getting the Masical pitch.

Musical pitch has curious tendency
to creep up. 1t Is said that Bach's mu-
sic sounds much differently now from
what it did when Bach wrote it. be-
cause the instruments are now pitched
higher In 1852 it was found that the
pitch of high \ at the Vienna Court
Opera had crept from the prescribed
49, double vibrations n second TO 443,
and in 1880 this number had further in
creased to 4J0
Accordingly musical conference
was held. and resolution was taken
to re establish the old pitch of 43o VI
brations per second, Upon this an.
nouncement the Reichsanstalt. the i'm
peral physical and technical institute
of Germany. set up standard instru'
mcnts and has since tested and cor.
rected many hundreds of tuning forks,
shortening them If they are too low in
pitch and thinning the arms If they
are too high.

anstadt keeps the tuning forks correct,

Took America For a MIrncIe

He was a tiny chap. but his mother,
who had been a schoOlteacher and had
theories of her own concerning the ed
ucation of children, had told him many
of the great world stories, among them
that of Columbus, the fearless naviga-
tor. He listened with his usual wide
eyed attention until she had finished.
Then he asked, But why did they call
it American" The question delighted
her. 1t showed his thirst for first
causes, but before she could answer he
exclaimed: "Oh, l know. They called it
that because it was a miracle for Co
lumbus to find it," Showing that even
the carefully trained child of a school
marin sometimes confuses sound with
sense.
Once after he had seen a sham battle
the same little fellow was explaining
to his aunt that no one had really beer
killed. Because" he said solemnly
'the guns only had blankets in them
And even his father. who had told hin

TOPEKA GETTING SLOW.
Gentry Concert Announcements
Made Without Interference.

One Of the essential qualifications Of
the successful circus man is to be able
to remember the peculiarities of the au-
diences in the different cities of the
country, and to cater to their whims. In
this respect the people who are concern
ed in the management Of the Gentry
dog and pony show stand IN the fore
most ranks.
The Gentry people gave an example
of this at the performance here last
night when in violation of the law that
has been established here by custom
the circus management outwitted the
audience and gave the concert an
nouncement.
Last year. concert manager attempt
ed to give the concert announcement
but as many times as he began on his
speech his voice was drowned in vol
ley of catcalls, Kisses and applause. He
appreciated the humor of the situation
however, which Mr.. Gentry did not and
he threatened to stop the show unless
the announcement was allowed The
audience was not to be bluffed that
way and Mr.. Gentry was forced to re-
lent.
L. B. Williams. the hot air. man.
now makes the announcement. Follow
Ing one of the acts in the ring last night,
the troupe of performing japanese
came into the ring as though ready to
do their act. Williams began annOunc-
ing their act While the audience was
debating whether he was making a con-
cert announcer ent or the announce
nent of the following act, he ended
with the invitation for all to stay to
the after show to witness the japanese
perform
Harry Weaver, the ringmaster, was
elated over the success of the ruse and
could hardly contain his laughter when
the audience realized the trick that had
been perpetrated
The Gentry show like wine improves
with age and the after show was one
of its best features. The japanese
should be used in the main show for
they are certainly too good to be missed

A STRONG TRADE FEATURE
Railway Earnings Continue to Show
9 Healthy Growth.

New York. June 2S.-R. G. Dun & cos
weekly review of trade says.
Foreign markets We're badly disar-
ranged by the sudden illness of the
king, and there was much liquidation
prior to the closing of the British eX-
changes from Wednesday afternoon to
Monday. Domestic financial conditions
are exceptionally satisfactory and
trade is well maintained. although low
temperatures interfered with the dis
sribution OF midsummer specialties.
Manufacturing operations have in
creased in activity especially in the iron
and steel industry and textile produc-
ton. while the constructive work on
new buildings and bridges is very heavy.
Labor difficulties have not improved in
the anthracite regin, but numerous set
Elements have been effected elsewhere.
Railway earnings thus far reported for
June exhibit an average increase of 46
per cent over last year and III per cent
over 1900
Most of the blast furnaces that We're
stopped by the scarcity of anthracite
coal have resumed with coke. OF which
the ovens have established new records
of output and shipments have been still
larger owing to the stocks aceumula-
ted during the car shOr- age.
During the vigorous pig iron pro
ductiOn, numerous contracts have been
placed abroad. and still the machine
shops, manufac turers of stoves and i'm
plements, and consumers generally are
seeking deliveries Structural shapes
of steel and all forms of railway equip
ment continue to lead. the market or
ders in these lines running far into next
year. Bars and sheets are the least ac-
tive divisions of the market but even
in these there is no tendency to weak
ness Higher freights have not mater
tally checked importations and it is re
ported that a large structural mill in
Germany has sold its output for this
year to American consumers. Another
evidence of domestic needs is the plac-
ing of a Mexican rail contract with
British producers, which would ordi-
narily have been taken in this country
Eastern manufa cturers Of footwear

placed. Statesmen are sending in more
orders. the change for the better being
most noticeable a the south where the
stagnation was formerly most pro
nounced. Leather has accumulated. and
some tanneries are closed, but betting
butts continue in demand at fun prices.
Chicago hides are slightly easier. More
activity occurred in cotton goods, al
though at some concessions in prices.
The changes were a natural result of
recent declines in the raw material.

WOULD SHUT MINES.
Governor Thinks Those at Pen
itentiary Are a Nuisance.

If Governor Stanley had it to do over
again he would close up the penitentiany
coal mines during his administration
He thinks they are a nuisance and do
not pay the state as we'll as some other
lines of employment for the cOnvicts.
It is true that the mines furnish the
state Institutions with coal, but at some
of the institutions the coal can be pur-
chased in the open market az cheaply as
it can be shipped from the prison mines,
so the labor expended in mining that
coal is practically lost to the state.
Governor Stanley's present plan, and
the one which he will recommend to his
successor, IS to close the prison mines
entirely and have the eonviets make
clothing, shoes and other things used
in the state institutions. He says the
mining of coal comes in direct compe-
tition with the labor of Kansas miners,
while the manufacture of the other ar
ticles he proposes will not affect Kan
sas labor whatever.
Then again it is difficult to maintain
discipline in the mine. The convicts
dread the mine and the dark cell has
no terrors for them when they know
they have to work in the mines 1t is
impossible to watch them in the mines
and plots and instructions are Matched
After the next legislature meets the
prison contract with Okla homa viii pro-
badly be annulled and the Oklahoma
conyicts sent home. There are nearly
300 Oklahoma convicts in the peniten-
tiary and not very many more than that
are employed in the mines, so that when
the Oklahoma convicts are gotten rid
of there will be employment for the
most of those remaining above ground.
Warden Jevett will recommend that the
capacity of the prison binding Irvine
plant be increased three-fold, and this
will give employment to q considerable
number. Then if the manufacture of
clothing, shoes and other supplies for
the state charitable institutions is IN
dertaken, the convicts will probably all
have employment which will prove pro-
6fable to the state.
