What an eruption is going on in
the city administration of Minneapo-
lis. In the fair CITY Of Minneapolis
one would hardly think that SO much
CORRUPTION could be prevalent, and
yet the disclosures are appalling as
they are made public from day to
day by the press. One Of the city
detectives has been convicted OF the
protection Of a gang of gamblers
and holdup men, and is awaiting
sentence; another of tpe detectives
was indicted and on the third day
of his trial he skipped out of the city
leaving his bondsmen to pay the
bill: five or six other detectives and
policemen high up in the scale will
doubtless be indicted within the next
few days, and all because on account
oftheir conniyance with crime. The
worst of the whole feature is the
Indictment of Mayor Ames, whom,
it lis alleged, Was a recipient Of the
benefits Of his policemen and was
closely allied with the gamblers and
holdup men for what money he could
getsout of the transaction: The may
or will be tried on the charge
of bribery. These cases have
shaken Minneapolis from one end to
the other and time only can tell
where the thing will stop. 1t is evil
dent that the authorities L going to
have such a cleaning up that in the
future there will be no necessity for
ii repetition Of the recent disgrace
full affairs inythe history OF the city.

Railroading is getting swift in
this country. This week witnessed
the Inauguration of two passenger
trains on the Lake Shore and the
Pennsylvania lines between Chicago
and New York in. whichea c road
covers the distance in 20 no urs, and
it lis to be a regular thing. The
highest speed attained in the trip
for any distance was SIS miles per
hour, although several different miles
was made in thirty-nine, forty-one
and forty tiy seconds. This will set
other railroads to attempting thing,s
equally as great. 1t is often a ques-
tion whether the commercial activi-
ties of the country are so important
that the~railFoads must needs ats
tempt such a gigantic undertaking,
and increase the chances for theyloSs
of life in case OF accident by trains
running under such high pressure.

BY the platform at the Sioux Falls
convention the republicans of South
Dakota have declared in favor OF
President.-Rooseyelt as his own sue
cessor in the white house. The ac-
tion was a wise one and it is only
meet and proper that the west should
show it's appreciation OF what the
president has done for us. Doubt
less there will be much opposition
to the president in the east because
of his attitude toward some gigan-
tic organizations but they are not
particularly helpful to western inter
ests. South Dakota will be in good
company by endorsing President
Roosevelt for 1904.

Things in congress are looking
very much toward the adoption of
the reciprocity plan with Cuba. The
republican members of the senate
committee on Cuban relations have
agreed to accept the provisions OF the
Spooner bill on this line and a con-

been set. One of the provisions in
the measure is to the effect that
whatever reductions shall be made
the profits shall benefit the produc-
ers Of the articles in Cuba, so that

that the riches lying in the treasure
houses that have existed under the pal
ace for centuries are not even exhibited
to the most favored of European
guests. The Indian princes who went
to London for the coronation dazzled
the crowds by the jewels they wore
but they left their chief treasures at
home.
These treasures will be visible at the
durbar, Each prince-there are no less
than forty-two important states be-
sides many smaller ones-will endeavor
to outshine the others. There will be
elephants with trappings smothered in
gems. turbans with great diamonds
and rubies and emeralds. of which the
historian of precious stones has never
even heard. palanquins of gold and
ivory, servants as gorgeously attired as
emperors-all the glamour of the Ara
bian Nights.
The yiceroy viii arrive at Delhi on
the morning of Dec. %. and the first of
the series of splendid pageants will en-
sue. This will be the state entry into
the city. A procession win be formed
at the station, with the viceroy and the
the leading officials on horseback or in
carriages. and will pass through the
streets. of the city for distance of six
miles to the camp.
The following day the viceroy will
open the great Indian arts exhibition,
which<b by a happy inspiration he ar
ranged to combine with the durbar.
The exhibition viii be the most elabo-
rate of its character ever held. and it is
hoped that it will have permanent ef-
feet in causing a renaissance of some
of India's wonderful old time handi-

his American wife. -
Through their own lords 400 100000
of subjects will pay homage to their
sovereign. and Lord and Lady Curzon
viii be treated as royalty itself. They
will be accorded the same honors, the
same reverence, that would be offered
the emperor and empress. 1t will be
India's formal greeting to its new rul-
ers.
Delhi has been chosen as the site Of
the durbar because of its imperial as
sociatiOns-it was there that Victoria
was proclaimed empress of India-its
suitability for the assemblage of a
large number of troops and great dis
play and its central situation. But the
city of Delhi could not begin to accom-
modate the thousands of visitors to the
durbar. so they will live in camps,
which will, so says the official state
ment regarding the durbar. extend for
"a distance of several miles on every
side of the city," The viceroy's camp
will be pitched on the historic ridge
where the decisive struggle of the In
dian mutiny took place.
The great reception will be held in a
specially constructed amphitheater of
horseshoe shape. The amphitheater
will be a quarter of a mile in circum-
ference. with accommodations for 12s-
600 persons. The voice of speaker
will have to carry only 800 feet in or
der to be heard by the entire assem-
blage, so ingeniously will the amphi-
theater be constructed. The viceroy
win stand in the center on a dais feet
high and 20 feet in circumference, and
while his own flag is unfurled the i'm
perial standard viii be raised in front
of the assembly.
Directly before the viceroy will be
four rows of seats, which will be occu-
pied by the 1.0OS ruling chiefs. mobiles
and high officials, while other notables
to the number of 5000 will be seated
ON benches.
Every one has heard of the fabulous
riches of the Indian princes. of their
jewels, OF their gold and ivory, of their
fairylike palaces. But it is not so gen.
orally known that the greatest of the
treasures that these maharajahs and
Iajahs possess are hardly ever shown;

M.rriare. wfthout MONEY.

The poet and divine John Dome
who became dean of st. Paurs in 1921,
married a daughter of Sir George
Moore without the consent of her par
ents. He was told by his father-in-law
that he was not to expect any money
from him. The bridegroom went home
and wrote this witty note, John Donno,
Anne Dome, undone," which he sent
to the angry father, and this had the
effect of restoring them to favor. They
were very poor at first. but things
soon got brighter, and they lived most
happily together.
Sir Joshua Reynolds after Flaxman
had married told him that this would
ruin him as an artist. When the hus
band related this to his wife, she re-
solved that marriage should make
and not mar her husband and to this
end further resolved that he should
study at Rome and do everything that
he might have done without matri
monial responsibilities. But howp
asked Flaxman. Work and econo-
mize," rejoined the brave woman.
So we'll did they do this that he found
that "wedlock is for an, artists good,
rather than his HARM" and they both
discovered that they were made for
each other.

A Dumas story.

The younger Dumas once went to
Villers Cotterets, his fathers native
village, to the unveiliRg Of statue to
the creator of 1.-THE Three Musketeers."
At the banquet in the evening the
younger Dumas sat next to one of the
oldest inhabitants who, in perfect good
nature, but without any tact, began to
tell a story of Dumas pere.
'Ah,"" said he, ''he was gay soul,
your fatheri How we loved him. He
was so kind hearted and generous. The
last time he came to Villers Cotterets
he gave a banquet in the Hotel de
Vile. He forgot for some time after
to pay the bill See that fat man over
there? He was the butcher who fur
nished the feast. 1 should not be sur
prised if the meat were still owing to
him. But that is nothing. He is proud
to this day of being the purveyor to
Alexandra Dumas"
The story was an ironical common
tary on the set speeches of the after
noon. The son was anxious then and
there to settle his fathers score.-Pall

Lamb Gourd of snmara.

In book called 1.-The Duke of Hol-
STEMS Travels Into Persia and Mus
covy," published in 1886, there is an
account of n curious vine product
called the ''lamb gourd," which runs
as follows: ''In the neighborhood of
Samara, Russia, there grows a gourd
which closely resembles a lamb in all
it's members. 1t changes place in grow
ing as far as the stalk will reach, and
wheresoever it turns the grass withers
and dies. This change of the gourd
plant the/ Muscovites call feeding
They further say that when it ripens
the stalk withers and that the out
ward rind of the gourd is then covered
with sort of wool, which they use
instead of fur
Scaliger also makes mention of the
lamb gourd and says that it grows I'M
til the grass fails and that it then dies
for want of nourishment. He also says
that the wolf is the only animal that
will feed upon it.

and pageaptry, any ceremony has ever

Should the historian be able to produce
from chronicles inspired by oriental en-
thusiasm and imagination n record of
some triumphal progress of apparently
unapproachable magnificence he must
yet fail to present us with anything so
impressive to the instructed imagina-
tion.
The celebration Of the coronation will
take the form of q great durbar, dur
bar such as has never been seen before,
not even when Lord Lytton proclaimed
Queen Victoria empress of India That
was marvellous occasion, splendid and
solemn and inspiring. but it is the in
tention of the viceroy, Lord Curzon Of
Kedleston, to make the approaching
durbar even more magnificent. The
= viceroy knows the Hindoo character
thoroughly. He knows that the native
loves nothing better than pomp and
glitter; that he is impressed by these
things in a manner which an occidental
finds it hard to understand. And this
time he means to give the Hindoo such
a display as will be talked of for gener-
atoms
