WHY YANKEE GIRLS
WED ENGLISHMEN
Analysis of Motives Proves It
Is Due Mainly to En-
Yir0nment.

LONDON, Jan. 29.-Some American
the medium of the newspaper CORE.
spondenee columns that something be-
tween seventy and eighty English no
bles and foreign princes and gentlemen
of title have married American women
of greater or less fortunes. The Daily
News takes up this matter and makes
it the subject of a leading article.
1T is, the writer says, becoming al
most Impossible for a foreign ambassa-
dor successfully to perform his duties
at New York unless, like the Count
Won Sternberg, who is to represent Ger
many, or Sir Micael Henry Herbert, he
shall have first, as a precautionary
measure, forestalled criticism by mar
rying in Fifth avenue. The Yankee be-
Heves at the very heart of him that
every Englishman would like to marry
an American girl, and that only those
don't who can't. The Englishman is
poor, no doubt, but he is so superior
that the American lady Is prepared to
spend large dowry upon keeping him
alive.
''Yet the explanation of the phenom-
enon lies not wholly in the greater at.
Effectiveness of Englands sons. Indeed,
the manners of the men are by no
means so polished in the old country as
in the new. The reason why English
men marry American women while
American men do not SO often marry
English women, is, in the main, a very
simple one. The American girl travels
in England, while the English girl does
not travel in America, and a young
lady is always more open to attentions
when she is away from home. A kind
Of halo envelops her. Her very imper-
fections begin to set fashion. More
over the American girl displays s6me-
thing of the French woman'S facility
for appearing neat on a moderate al
IoWance.
'But American girls certainly are att
tracted by the dazzling, If fIlusory. OPP
portunitfes for social distinction which
are offered by land where aristocracy
is based upon birth rather than upon
fluctuations OF wealth. It is, moreover.
extraordinary that American ladies Of
acknowledged charm and position
should so frequently threw In their lot
with Europeans who have nothing to
offer them compared with what they
enjoy already It is possible that there
is a placfdity in Great Britain that
comes as a relief from the infinite dis
play of material energy, which bows
down the American citizen to prena-
ture old age"

Gross earnings of the Twin City Rapid Transit
pany for the year the total of $36I2
ooo increase of the earnings of the year
before
The amazing fact IS that these $3612, 900 of gross
earnings after taking of $63o16o of operating
penses, maintenance and taxes, and $2Io,ooo of per
dividends 100000 of preferred stock and after
paying interest something over $Iooooooo of bonds,
besides several hundred thousand dollars aside for
extensions and bettermen yielded the heavy surplus of
$I,o6o324 applicable dividends the stock.
This $1,000 900 surplus exceeds per cent dividend
on the $4,000, 900 of common stock
Five years ago this common stock was scarcely
worh~I5 cents dollar; and is quoted at ST
or more Four years ago earned its first dividend of
25 CENT while during the past year has paid per
cent, with possibility of per for the ensuing year
The $I,o6o,324 applicable to dividends common
stock plus the $2IQooo paid in dividends on the pre-
ferred stock makes dividend total of $17o324 which
IS per cent investment of $4,000 900. The
$Ioooo,ooo of bonds also per cent interest
The franchise and property therefore per cent on
an aggregate Of and therefore easily
worth that total although Gov Van SAINT and majority
of the state board of equalization appointed by him

GERMAN GOVERNMENTS DEFENSE.

The Volkszetung, of this city, publishes the side of
the German in the Venezuelan affair as given
by Baron Richthofen in the reichstag on JAM a.
The most significant paragraph in the barons speech
touches the sent by the government to Venezuela
July TO- The proposition therein contained was
that Germany and Venezuela should appoint repre-
sentaves EACH who should jointly investigate the claims
and that n every where both sides agree upon an
indemnity, it shall be Immediately paid" On points
wherein the conferees unable to agree the Inter
national Hague tribunal shall be invoked to settle the
question in issue"
Baron Richthofen thereupon says: "The prop
oson to refer these matters The Hague court there
fore dates back to July President Castro gave not
the least sign that he intended this proposal
There is question that the Venezuelan govern
ment negligent and delinquent in the matter There
is question that the German government was kept
long in waiting for the setement of its claim At the
same time, the Venezuelan predcament was serious
enough and probably the only thing that President Cas-
could do to work for delay. With revolution
hand possibly maintained by and-hungry European
powers, and with the government treasury empty and
foreign power haunting him with claims demand
ing prompt settlement Castro was not in position to
talk OF settling any foreign debts
Another thing the German note demanded that every
valid claim Shall be Immediately paid'-a physical inn
possibility For three powers join in alliance and
institute blockade with bombadent of and cities
and destruction of Venezuelan vessels under the circu
stances, strikes strenuous method of collecting
bill To demand immediate payment of a nation with
empty treasury and civil its hands would
appear be of thrift rather than mercy
If we grant that the Venezuelan government was not
entitled to mercy the beginning, still Baron Rich
thofen does submit any justify the bonn
bardments of JAM Is and after the powers had acceded
the proposition of the United States submit the

CITY WATER AND HEALTH.

One of the factors which led to ST. PauTs receiving
from the Paris exhibition the medal for being the health
city in the world is the excellent character of its city
water furnished from the purest possible and
ample quantity to meet all demands.
In this particular St. Paul has marked advantage
over its neighborng city the river The registrar of
the Minneapolis city works issued the people of
that city day before yesterday order boil their
ter and after Feb until further orders. No city
that is compelled to live on boiled in order avoid
epidemic of disease is safely or happily situated
Minneapolis takes its water from the Mississippi,
which, like all rivers i'll settled country with cities every
few miles along the banks is in compelled
ofhclae IN the capacity of In order give the
river savage deposits chance settle, the river
ter is pumped three four miles pair of reser-
voirs up Columbia Heights, just the line in
Anoka county These reservoirs for time acted fairly
well. But chemical analysis late years often shows
worse condition of the water the reservoir than the
river In other words the reservoirs have become germ
mating basins for various animal and vegetable bacteria,
including disease; and the result has been unusually
large percentage of typhoid and other kindred diseases
during the past two three years
1t is now proposed to have settling basins and
perhaps filters down the river SO relieve the
reservoir condition we'll save cost of pumping, and
a station has been erected of 100000 as
beginning toward the idea Whether or the new
method of purifying the sewage will result salts
factory and be safely depended upon permanently,
is problem which time will have determine.
St. Paul is to be congratulated that it took up the
city water problem and settled satisfactorily many
years 1t cost money at the time and sweIIed the
city debt and taxes But the burden is yearly diminish
ing, and meantime ST. Paul boast the purest water
and lowest death rate of any city in the world.
Our combined lake and artesian supply form the
finest combination for ample and pure water that has
yet been devised and at the minimum of operation
The heavy and reliable flow of artesian water only is
strong supplement from the standpoint Of quantity but
IN quality In the summer months especially, the cold
and pure artesian flow prevents the usual vegetable
growth in the lake and storage basins and gives
St. Paul the most ideal city water on record
