DON'T MENTJON IT.

Anybody who walks about New Ha- ven during Commencement week with his eyes open cannot fail to see that it takes a lot of beer, wine and stronger liquors to float Commencement. The floating process isn't always as conspic- uous as it was on that halcyon and vo- ciferous night when a party sat around a generously flowing beer keg on the steps of Battell chapel, but it is always sufficiently obvious. It was last night, and it will be tonight. It is evident that there are many Yale men who be- lieve in personal liberty" in putting the cup to their own and their brothers lips, and in drinking 1t down, down, down.
 What can be done about it? Noth- ing, we suppose, except to deny that there is any drinking at Yale during Commencement week.

thorizing the issue of bonds for $5OOO,- 900 for distribution among the planters as compensation for the deliberate de- struction of a portion of their planta- tions, the area to be thus wilfully laid waste being variously stated as 5O,OOO and 25, GOO acres. The bonds, according to the scheme would not bear interest for five years, but would be redeemed in five annual instalments, and the funds for that purpose would be obtained by tax of one-half cent per pound on all sugar manufactured in Tucuman dur ing the period of 1902 to 1906 inclusive. Further replanting of the area laid waste would be prohibited for ten years and any new plantations elsewhere would be taxed S250 per acre.
 When 1t is found, as it probably will be, that this law doesn't work well, another law can be passed to improve the situation.

 occasions when the House of Commons 1 has issued a writ on a presumption of | death. MT, Powell M.

Powell had alighted. The M. F. was carried back towards the skies, and from that day to this his fate has

 Hythe has it's balloon mystery as well as Weymouth. Nobody has ever heard
 of the aeronaut who ascended at Hythe
 in July, 1885. Percival Spencer, one of
 the most successful English aeronauts whose ascents from the Crystal palace
 have been witnessed by enormous
 crowds, was at one time supposed to
 have disappeared in midair He as-
 cended at Calcutta, in the presence of
 the governor general, and a quarter of
 a million people, and the next news to
 reach England was telegram an-
 nauncing his disappearance. He was

 towards the southeast, in the direction

AN A4qRACrIVE NOTION.

General A. S. Burt, retired, has re- gently arrived in San Francisco from the Philippines, and he thinks that he sees a way out of the Philippine mess. Turn the islands over to the Japanese, says the General. Let them have them on the instalment plan for the consid- eration, say, of $50 100000. Our gov ernment does not need the money in a lump sum, and by making proposi- tion of that kind we can dictate as to coaling stations and make such reser- vations as are thought to be best for this kind can be effected that will give the United States as broad road into the markets of the Orient as if we re- tained the islands; besides, we shall be making strong allies of two nations that will represent our interest on that side of the globe, without the necessity of the presence of a large army at an enormous cost.
 This Is a good scheme for the United States, and possibly Japan might take kindly to it. If she only would we could afford to throw off a few mill lions from the price named by General Burt. Of course s15O,oOO0OO wouldn't pay us back what we have spent, but we could charge the rest up to experi- ence, or call it contribution toward the spread of Christian civilization.

BALLOON STORIES.
A Case of Remarkable Escape and a
 Case of Mystery.

A Case of Remarkable Escape and
 Case of Mystery,
 There is an Englishman still living, the hero of many ascents, who will read the story of M. Severo's death with a thrill of gratitude that he was once saved from such an end. Colonel Tenn pler who has done such excellent work with the army balloons in South Africa, was the subject, many years ago, of perhaps the most remarkable escape ever recorded in the annals of balloon ing. He is probably the only man who has been carried senseless to a height of more than twenty thousand feet. To this day he bears on his face the mark of a marvellous experience he can nev- CT forget. A sudden gust of wind had blown his companion from the car, sent up the balloon with the colonel alone and dashed the car against the orna- mental ironWork at the top of gasom- eteT The collision had a disastrous and tragic effect. The ropes were cut in two causing the balloon to hang on it's side, and the whole of the unsecured in- struments to drop out; and a piece of irOnWork cut deep into the coOnelS face, tearing his cheek.
 The balloon. revolving rapidly in mid air, rose to a great height, the severed ropes tWined round the colonel sus- pending him in the most frightful posi- ton the mind can conceive. Then the aeronaut tainted, and when he came to his senses the earth was twenty thou sand feet below him. He was a pris- oner in an uncontrolled balloon, with the car dangling beneath him, and he was, to add to the horror of the posi- tion suffering intense physical pain and bespattered with blood. The novel, ist who brought his character alive and well out of such a situation would be accused of absurd extravaganza; yet Colonel Templer is alive and well to- day, and has done yeoman service in the war Who else among living men can say that he has been carried four miles high entangled in a rope?
 Colonel Templers name recalls a mystery of balloonng which never has been and never can be solved. It was he who, twenty years ago, ascended in a balloon with an M. P. who has never

PROSPERTTY BY LAW.

What can be done in legislation is it. lustrated by what has been done in Tu- cuman, Argentina. The protection of Argentina sugar and the rise of prices in terms of the paper currency, or ma tional money" as it is called, induced mania for growing sugar-cane among all classes of people in Tucuman, as there was period during which profits varying from $250 to $500 paper per hec- tare devoted to cane could be made. Sugar mills, also, were very extensively established by means of borrowed cap- ital, on which from i to 1zs peI cent. a month was paid for interest, besides 415 per cent. commission for the sale of the products. A fall of prices was the consequence of the overproduction, and this fall was intensified by the legisla- tive measures adopted to reverse the de- preciation of the paper money. The premium on gold, in terms of paper dollars, which was 273 per cent. in 1891, was recently but 132 per cent
 Now in order to correct the overpro- duction of sugar the provincial legisla- ture of Tucuman has passed a law au-

A painting of Fort Sumter in wal time, made in 1863 by Lieutenant John K. Key, nephew of Francis Scott Key, author of "The Star Spangled Banner" /" is on exhibition in Charleston. It was shipped through the blockade to Eng land, where it remained until it was re- turned to Charleston a few days ago. It was the property of Colonel Fl, w. Fielden, of the British army, and has been presented by him to Augustine T. Smythe, of Charleston. Colonel Fiel- den resigned from the British army to accept a commission under the Confed- eracy, and served through the war on the staff of General Beauregard.

HANGED. RUr NOT DEA D.

The action of the Supreme court of Kansas in sending the case of James
 Hamilton back to Butler county calls attention to a man who has had a sin
 gular experience. In the spring of 1900
 Hamilton killed George J. Webb, his
 boss, while working on railroad not far from Eureka. The men had quar- relied, and Hamilton assailed Webb
 with an ax, causing instant death. He was captured by the other laborers and strung up to tree. The men were not expert in tying the hangman's knot however, and the rope did not compress Hamiltons neck tight enough to entire ly shut off his breath. After he had hung more than an hour farmer who chanced to be passing cut him down, but the men who had been watching from a little distance at once closed in and prepared to hang him again. The farmer stood over the body of the un- conscious man and pleaded with the mob to let the law take its course. Lit tie by little he won them over until at last they consented to take Hamilton to Fl Dorado and turn him over to the authorities. He was tried convicted and sentenced to twenty-one years in the penitentiary His attorney appeal ed the case to the Supreme court on a technicality. In the trial he had asked certain of the witnesses if they had taken part in the hanging. The county attorney objected to this question, and the court ruled it out. The Supreme court decided that the question was proper, and sent the case back for new trial.
 Hamilton has some justification for thinking that he was not born to die by being hanged.

In 1855 it required on the average four hours and thirty-four minutes of the time of laborer to do the blowing, narrowing, cultivating, etc, that went to the producing of a bushel of Indian corn, and the price of that labor was nearly thirty-six cents on the average. To-day machines have changed condf- sary time of the laborer to about thir- ty-four minutes and the cost of it to about ten and one-half cents. The wages are, however much better now than in 1855.
