the cemetery road approaching the city
of Fort Scott twenty-five thousand dol
lars is appropriated for this proposition.
One of the provisions of the bill is that
the wives of soldiers. sailors, and marines
who desire to be buried alongside their
husbands. may be inferred in the ceme-
terry free of cost. This provision will
likely not be in the act, if the bill is
passed. The reason is that the war de-
partment hesitates to open the way for
what it considers congestion of all its
national cemeteries.
The entire Kansas delegation favors the
measure and viii seek to assist in its
passage. The Fort Scott cemetery is the
only one of national character in the
state outside of such as are maintained al
the military posts of Riley and Leaven-
worth. Therefore il becomes a. state mat
ter to secure the Improvement of the
cemetery.
Among the Kansas members of con-
gress who were in New York city this
week were: Senator Burton. Representa-
tives Scott Campbell. Curtis. Murdoch.
Senator Long will likely make business
til pthere next week Representatives
Bowersock and Calderhead have been in
Kansas for some time. The rest Of the
delegation have remained in the city dur
ing the holiday recess.
Representatives Scott and Campbell
were the guests this week of the Vir-
ginia delegation in congress on a trip
down the Potomac river to Norfolk.

newspaper writer and secretary OF the

The wea1thiest Family.

The Russian imperial family enjoy1 the
 distinction of being the wealthiest family in Europe. The civil list of the Czar amounts to $12,5o0, 900 a year. In addi- tion to this enormous revenue. he draws an income of an additional $5.000000 year from his extensive estates and mines.
 The house of Romanoff, as disttnguish- ed from the Czar, owns no less than u.-
 OOo,OO acres in different parts of the ena-
 pire. and from the s10,O00.00O of annual revenue which these acres produce a sum of s2,5OO,OOO is set apart for the use of grand dukes and duchesses, who number forty-six The remaining three-fourth9
 of the income is allowed to accumulate for the benefit of future claimants. The
 total annual income of the imperial fami- iy of Russia cannot, therefore. be less
 than $17,50o,000.
 Probably the nearest approach to. this revenue is to be found in the combined Dincomes of the bothers Rockefeller. the soil kings, which amounts to A2,5OO.O0o. The LAustrian imperial family possesses an ar- nual income of 7,60000O. the German family one of $5,000.0O0 and the Italian house of Savoy a revenue of $SI0O.0Oe a fyeaP.

 The voices of the singers came soft and low to the keepers and the fur-clad wo- men visitors and their escorts stationed outside in the corridor. Gradually, ever So gradualIy, the chorus lessened as child after child dropped off to sleep and the mothers lay down beside their little ones Fainter and fainter it grew until the sound of heavy sleep reached the listen CTS.

The Baptist Young Peoples Union,
auxiliary to the Southern Baptist Con-
vention, met in the First Church yes
terday at IL o'clock with a large at
tendance. Representatives were pres
ent from all of the states in the con-
.vention. President L. o. Dawson was
in the chair.
The programme which had been pre-
pared was carried out in full and prov
ed very interesting and important. De-
Votional exercises were conducted by
Rev. E. B. Pollard, D. D., of George
town, KY, after which there was an
able and instructive address by Rev.
Walter Galley of Chicago. the subject
being The Sources of Hope for the
Future" This was heard by church
filled to its utmost capacity and re-
ceived with interest.
The second address of the morning
was delivered by Rev. w. E. Yarbor-
ough of Jackson, Miss. the subject be-
ing 1.-THE Baptist Young Peoples Union
and the Country Church"
Officers Elected.
At the afternoon session of the union
delegates were enrolled and officers
elected for the ensuing year. re-
port was also received from the Execu-
tive Committee, which was of interest
to all present. The result of the cleo
ton was a choosing again of the old
officers, with "a few exceptions. The
officers for the coming year are as
follows:

open the convention this morning.
That he will be reelected president is
understood to be an assured fact. the
present indications being that he will
be nominated and unanimously elected
to succeed himself.
Gov Eagle is one of the most prom
inent men in his state, and is known
for his broad charities. his excellent
judgment and liberal views in all that
pertains to the South. He studied for
the ministry and obtained his degree,
but has never assumed a pastorate,
believing that his work would be more
successful in a general field. He is a
man of splendid physique, easy, grace
full manners and has a strong musical
voice. A recognized leader wherever
known, 1t is no wonder that he vas
chosen to be the head of the great o.
ganization that directs the mission and
Sunda y-school work of the Southern
BaptiSts.
When seen at the De Soto yesterday
afternoon Gov. Eagle very pleasantly
talked of the work in view the pros
poets for a successful meeting and a
large gathering of representative men
of the South.
From all I can learn" he said. 1.-The
convention in Savannah will be among
the most important and most largely
attended. There is much to be done,
but the work will begin promptly, and
with three sessions daily we will be able
to adjourn Monday night. l cannot say
that anything novel or out of the usual
will come up for disposition. Our work
