: THREE GREAT CANYONS.
Yosemite, Yellowstone and Grand
Canyon of the Colorado Compared.

Yosemite, Yellowstone and Grand
Canyon of the Colorado Compared.
The justly famous Grand Canyon Of
the Yellowstone is, like the Colorado,
gorgeously colOred and abruptly coun-
tersunk In a plateau, and both are
mainly the work of water. But the Col
orado's canyon is more than 1000 times
larger, and as score or two new build
ings of ordinary size would not appre
fiably change the general view of a
great city so hundreds of Yellowstones
might be eroded in the sides of the Col
orado canyon without noticeably aug
menting its size or the richness of its
sculpture. But it is not true that the
great Yosemite rocks would be thus
lost or hidden Nothing of their kind in
the world, so far as l know, rivals Ell
Captain and Tissiack much less
dwarfs or in any way belittles them.

maya side of Clouds Rest. These CO.
lossal cliffs, types of permanence, are
about 5000 and 5000 feet high; those
of the canyon that are sheer are about
half az high and are types of fleeing
change, while glorious domed Tissiack,

Nevertheless a noted writer, comparing
the Grand canyon in a general way
with the glacial Yosemite, says: "And
the Yosemite-ah, the lovely Yosemite!
Dumped down into the wilderness of
gorges and mountains, it would take
guide who knew of its existence long
time to find it." This is striking and
shows up well above the levels of com
monplace description, but it is confus-
ing and has the fatal fault of not being
true.-John Muir In Century.

Origin of the Red Cap of Liberty.
The red cap of liberty had a very pro-
sale origin. Instead Of being the
"Phrygian bonnet" 1t is just the galley
slaves headgear. The Swiss OF the
Chateauroux regiment sent to the gal
leys for their share in the Nancy riots
were released and came into Paris with
the red caps still on their heads. They
are the victims of despotism." said tho
people, forgetting the circumstances of
the riot, and so the red cap became the
favorite with the extreme party.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Philippine

crate mining, timber and franchise sec

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April Mayor
David s. Rose, democrat, candidate for re-
election. carried the city by a plurality
estimated at from 1000 to 10000 over
Charles II. Anson, republican.
Rose carried the balance OF the demo-
cratic ticket with him, thus insuring the
election Of William H. Gaebner for treas
urer, Peter Pawinski for comptroller and
Carl Runge for city attorney. While the
returns are far from being complete, the
indications are that the democrats also
will control the common council by a safe
majority. Roses plurality for mayor two
years ago was 2,401. and four years ago
over 1000. Judge Warren d. Tarrant, re-
publican. who ran as an individual candi-
date for circuit judge, was elected by a
large plurality over Lyman G. Wheeler, the
regular republican nominee. The demo-
Gratis did not nominate a candidate for cir

the city remains unchanged.
