Courts Uphold Evening Dress.

1t is a general principle of law that an
individual or corporation may make 'rca-
sonable regulations for the conduct of
business Just what reasonable means in
this connection has brought about a great
deal of litigation. and the courts have
been obliged to make many decisions. some
of which have seemed rather extraordinary.
The courts of New York city have just es-
tablished the rule that restaurant pro-
prletor may refuse to serve a person not
in evening dress if he has Iegulat ton
to the effect that all his guests after
O'Clock must be SO attired. A hungry man
was refused food and went to law and has
his lEformd ton for his pains.
Probably there are many persons who will
think that this is silly decision. based on
unjust considerations, and at first sight it
may appear rather unusual. A serious con-
sideration of the subject however. leads
to the conclusion that it. is well grounded
and ought Ito be. Observed. The proprietor
of restaurant would undoubtedly be jus =
titled III ejectfng an offensive-looting tramp
even If he had all sorts of money to buy
deiicacies. This being The case, it is easy
TO see that 1t is the proprietor who must
draw the liEe somewhere, au1 if he draws
II at spike. tails it is his good privilege.
IL can be assumed that no proprietor would
make such an arrangement unless it was
satisfactory to his customers. If he wants
to have place where only those CARRIED
IN the correct fashion for evening gayeties
are admitted, he has the right to make the
ruilng and keep 1t going.

FILIPINO WIVES SUSTAINED.
Contract Marriages Upset Matrimonial
Plans Of Officers.

A Leavenworth special to the New York
World says:
Welded, as he supposed, for the time only.
to a Filipino wife. at least one Fort Leav-
enworth army officer has found his foreign
matrimonial alliance an insurmountable
barrier to his marriage to Leavenworth
girl to whom he was engaged before his
transfer, to duty in the orient.
The Filipino wife has recently arrived In
San Francisco. and is reported to be pre-
pairing for an immediate trip to Fort Leav-
eRworth to claim her recreant husband.
At least six officers at Fort Leavenworth
are similarly situated. and others are scat
tered throughout other military posts In the
United States. The enlisted men are much
perturbed, too, for many Of them took Fill
pino wives.
Many Of the officers are Known to have
taken native wives during their stay in
the Philippines. on the theory that the con-

marriages are valid and binding in the
United States.

Home Of the Silver Dollar.



The home of the silver dollar is the west.
An eastern tenderfoot can always be pick
ed out in a western town by his look of
surprise or annoyance en-taking handful
OF silver dollars in change. Out in the
wheat section a county merchant carefully
scrutinizes a silver certificate to see II 1t
real money. AS matter Of curiosity, I
once searched an Oklahoma town for a
two-dollar silver certificate. I discovered
one finally in a drug shop 1t was a very
dirty piece of money! and the shopkeeper
was glad to get rid of it in exchange for
two silver dollars. All the way from Chi
cago westward to thep coast the silver dol
lar Is the every day@coin Of the people
No one can blame a &uesterner for prefer
paper money that circulates beyond the
Mississippi But. as the west comes more
in touch with the east, silver dollars are
bound to disappear gradually from circula-
ton. When. it is considered how common
is the use of silver dollars in the west, the
small quantity of csiver in circulation is
amazing. Although there are five hundred
and fifty million silver dollars outstanding,
and the minis sending out fifteen hum
dred thousand month, there are only
about seventy-five million outside the treas
ury. The treasury vaults are glutted with
them. The space these unused silver dol
lars occupy equals a tunnel seven feet in
diameter and mile long. OF this great
mass of silver four hundred and seventy
million dollars are held in trust against
silver certificates. practically all of which
are in circulation.

WOULD BEAT ROOSEVELT.
That is Morgan's Aim, Henry Waiter
son Declares.

A Louisville. KY, special to the New
York World says:
Henry Watterson today again discussed
Cleveland and the Morgan syndicate" He
said:
Mr.. Cleveland makes himself monkey
wrench for no man. He has no heirs and
assigns. 1t is with him the whole hog or
nothing.
THE Morgan syndicate is determined to
beat Roosevelt. It made up its mind to that
quite year ago. There are some very po-
tent republicans who would look with
equanimity upon Roosevelt turned down
and got rid of in case this can be done
without too great risk to their plans and
hopes. Cleveland presents the least risk
of any so-called democrat. These republic
cans would look with equanimity upon a
scheme to carry New York and to buy Con-
necticut and New Jersey, finding the other
one necessary electoral vote elsewhere in
the rotten boroughs of the far west -
Cleveland regards Parker as dangerous
rival. Already the Cleveland literary bu-
reau is abusing Parker because he voted for
Bryan" -.

GERMS ELECTRocUTED.
Water is Purified by Electrifaction and
Aeration.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
Louis johnson, an employee of the Min
neapolis water works department, has de-
vised a plan whereby typhoid fever and
other germs that make their abode in the
city water can be killed by an application
of air and electricity. His system, which
was vested at the east side pumping sta
ton, provides for the aeration of the water
and the electrocutiOn of the germs by a
strong current from the dynamo The test
was a success, for DR.. Gefbett. the city bac-
teriologist. said that at least 20 per cent
of the germs were destroyed and, it Is pos
sble the execution was greater. A micro
scopic examination will determine this
point.
Water from the intake is run through an
eight-inch pipe into tank on the floor of
the pump house. While running through
the pipe the water is aerated by two air
pipes. While the water is in the pipe It is
subjected to an electric current of 400 volts
and Mr.. johnson says this is responsible
for the disappearance of the germs. Sam
pies taken from the tank several days ago
showed a disappearance of germ life of 80
per cent According to the claims of the
inventor water permeated with germs can
be run through the pipe and tank and made
almost pure in a few seconds.

"UNCLE TOM" RESTORED.
Mrs. Stoves Book May Yet Be Read by
School Children.

The New York Herald says:
Uncle Toms Cabin" scorned by the
board of city superintendent. and also by
the committee on libraries. will still be
perused by the pupils Of New York's public
schools.
General George w. Wingate, who present
ed the report Of the committee on libraries
yesterday to the executive committee of
the board of education. said that although
he did not believe any intelligent father
would give his son such a book as Uncle
Toms Cabin to read. and that he felt sure
that the book had outlived its usefulness,
yet, yielding to the clamor made about the
action of the superintendent, the commit
tee had decided to permit the work to re-
main in the catalogue.
An American hero was sent from his
pedestal when the committee refused to
permit 1.-The Life of Paul JONES'" by Alb
bolt, to remain on the school list. Thomas
B. Connery, one of the commissioners, OBJ
jected to the work on the ground that 1T
was Anticipated. 1t is possible that another
life Of Paul Jones may be used.
President RooseveltS Rough Riders is
recommended and the school children are
commended to the works Of Scott and Dick
ems. The mysteries of Jules Verne are in
dorsed, and work entitled 1.-The Lolipops'
Vacation" is spoken of as furnishing intel
lectual pabulum. alice in Wonderland is
on the list.
General Wingate tried to get the execu-
tive committee to pass the report DR..
Maxwell insisted that 1t be first approved
by the board of education and the state su-
perintendent Of education. 1t was found
when the vote was taken on the proposal to
refer the report to the committee on legis-
lation that there was not quorum present
I lie arrival Of Abraham Stern, however,
permitted the board to resume its delibera-
lions and the report was sent on It's way.

City Life is "a Ar sasd
From Success.

: What does d city youth see or hear that
is wholly natural? The rattle of cars and
heavy wagons over the pavements. the
screeching of whistles. and the roar, of
machinery are all artificial. unnatural
sounds and they are dinned into his ears
from birth until death. He rarely listens to
the myriad voices of nature. the song Of
birds. the babbling of brooks, or the sough-
ing of the wind IN the pines. IN cities all
the objects seen are artificial, and all the
lines are masses of bricks. stones, and NOR
tar, formed into sharp angles which oh.
curves of streams, hillsides and foliage.
What beauty exists is man-made and con-
ventional; and all this-in America. at least
that It must be sought diligently to be
found.

Two Remarkable Epitaphs.

The two most remarkable epitaphs in
the United States are those of Daniel
Barrow, formerly Of Sacramento, and
of Hank Monk, Horace Greeley's
stage driver. The former reads as fol-
lows: Here is laid Daniel Barrow,
who was born in Sorrow and Borrow
ed little from nature except his name
and his love to mankind and his hatred
for redskins. Who was nevertheless
gentleman and dead shot, who
through a long life never killed his
man except In self defense or by acct
dent, and who, when he at last went
under beneath the bullets of his cow
ardly enemies in JEFF Morris saloon,
did so In the sure and certain hope of
glorious and everlasting morrow"
Hank Monks epitaph reads thus:
Sacred to the memory Of Hank Monk,
the whitest, biggest hearted and best
known stage driver in the west, who
was kind to all and brought Ill to none.
BE lived in a strange era and was a
hero and the wheels Of his coach are
now ringing on the golden streets"

The Population of the Moon.

There is plenty Of authority for be-

In fact, there is authority for believing
that there are women and other ami
mails there. Dante declares that Cain
was banished to the moon and that he
can be seen there at any time. Chaucer
declares that the man in the moon was
guilty Of larceny and that he carries a
thorn bush. Shakespeare loads him
with thorns and gives him dog. Ac-
cording to the general version, he was
banished there for gathering sticks on
Sunday, and the Germans have ampli-
fed this theory by giving him wom-
an who had been caught churning but
