M. Stiegler describes his visit as follows:

bed beheld the sleeper. How pale and thin

not colorless. as one would naturally be-

slight cooration on the cheeks of this
waxen face and the lips were clearly red.

which allowed the hair, black and fiat and

disclosing two white and CLASSY eyes, were
closed. The body was fiattened out under

long time, even for years.

WELCOME GUESTS IN MEXICO.
Spanish Marines Create a Very Fa-
vOrable Impression.


Hartford Courant
The visiting Spanish marines had fine
time in the City of Mexico, and made fine
impression. If they did not achieve the
experience which Birdofreedum Sawin
vainly yearned for and ''revel in the halls
o. Montezumy," it wasn't because their
hospitable entertainers thought anything in
the festive line too good for them. A dinner
in their honor was given at the Tivoll. One
of the poets who spoke at the dinner told
the marines that in the history of such a
grand old fighting race an occasional reverse
signified little or nothing The marines
liked that. They must have been pleased.
too, with the nice things the Mexican
Herald said about them. 1t hailed in them
a proof of the 'unspent vitality" Of the
Spanish stock. 1t remarked:
This is the fact that impresses one at
any festal reunion of Spaniards; not only
is the physique of the young folk good. but
the vigor and the earnestneSs which they
throw into their very sports and dances
argue the immense reserve of energy pos
sessed by people as yet unspoilt by the
that a people thus constituted, and pos
sessing the fundamental virtues which are
at the basis of all national greatness, may
suffer temporary eclipse, but cannot fail
in the long run to resume the part in

When thrifty James 1 sat on the British
throne, counting his bawbees and airing

and away the most formidable and dreaded
of nations. Then ii was on SPANS domin-

so, and in his poem Harness the I'm

The Sort of Letter That College
Trustees Do not Write.
New York Evening Post.

Trustees Do not Write.
New York Evening Post.
Proper humility is the note in Andrew
Carnegie's letter to President Schurman, of
Cornell The university has decided to
spend 81, 900 on filtration plant. Mr.. Car
negie, upon learning the fact is much
troubled in mind. He would like to pay for
nearer to his goal of poverty. but he is
harassed by doubts whether Cornell will
accept the money. For years college pres
idents and trustees have been writing to
him as follows:
Dear Mr.. Carnegie-We learn with re-
greet that you have built about as many
public libraries as this country has room
for, and that you are now planning to
spend your money on higher education.
We trust the report that you wish to give
in the next six months is unfounded; but if
you are really set upon such an unwise
course, we beg you to remember that our
Institution will have none of Ii. Yours,
ETC."
With the memory of bushel of such
letters a week fresh in his mind, Mr.. Car
negie knew that he must use extreme tact
in approaching President Schurman. and so
he said:
'If the trustees would permit me to pay
for it, shall be very grateful indeed
Mr.. Carnegie has evidently done every
thing in his power to make Ii easy for DR..
Schurman to yield. While we do not urge
the latter to sacrifice principle. We hope he
will not use unnecessary harshneSs in de-
nying Mr.. Carnegie this small pleasure.
Perhaps he may even see his way clear to
take the money. He should bear in mind
fused Carnegie libraries, and that unless
somebody generously comes TO the rescue,
Mr. Carnegie must face what he himself
has described as the disgrace of dying rich.

A BIG LOT OF MONEY.
How N Debt OF Forty Millions May
BE Paid.

New York Evening Post.
Not the least interesting phase of the
Panama canal settlement is the problem Of
renting the purchase money. Forty mill
lion dollars is a substantial sum to draw
in a brief space of time from given mon
ey market. IL is true that the treasury
has a surplus fund which IL reports to-day
at $223. 800 900. But of this sum $50, S00 900
is on deposit with the banks, and therefore
employed I'm the money market; while the
balance of $73,00o,000 held in the treasory's
own vaults, exceeds by only twenty or
twenty-five millions the sum which the
government habitually keeps for its cash
exchanges. If, therefore, the purchase
money were to be paid TO the French own
ers Of the property in cash, heavy draft
on bank reserves would be necessary. Such
large international payments. however, are
not primarily made in exported coin. but In
sterling bills, by use OF which the recipient
draws on London. AS a rule such bills are
on three or six months time. When. how
ever, they mature, they must be met by
the American market. Payment may then
be adjusted in one of three ways by bor-
rowing abroad again, renewing the bills as
they mature. by selling to Europe enough
of merchandise or securities to Offset its
claim, or by sending gold. 1t is impossible
to say, at the moment, which of the three
expedents will In the present instance be
adopted. That Is a question largely de-
pendent on the state of the money market
and the promise of this seasons haryests.
The question is interesting chiefly because
of the present strain on New York's mar
ket, and the low figure at which bank re-
serves stand

City Ordinances-Closing of Stores
In the case of State VS.. Ray it was held
that an ordinance providing that il shall
be unlawful for barrooms groceries, dry
goods stores or other places where mer-
chandise is bought or sold Except drug
stores for the sale of drugs or medicines
only to keep open later than half past z
o'clock d. m, except Saturdays, and pre-
scribing fine for its violation was invalid
in so far as 1t applied to dry goods stores
and grocery stores where it appeared that
the corporate power to pass and enforce
such an ordinance was without legislative
authority TO do so, except the fact that it
was a chartered municipality. [42 South
eastern Rep. North Carolina), 960.l
Funeral Observation-Disclosures
Judge Deemer in the recent Iowa case of
Foley VS.. Broeksmit remarks: "Our OBJ
servation has led us to believe that the
Catholic denomination requires no more ex-
pensive funeral corteges for its members
than any other. Surely, one may die in
this faith without being troubled by visions
of the undertaken plundering his estate.
The idea that a man having an estate Of
less than s., 900 should have casket costing
$425, and that his estate should be burdened
with funeral expenses of $3.50 Is little short
of ridiculous.
Contracts. with Attorney-validity.-
A contract between an attorney at law
and one who is not such an attorney by
which the latter agrees TO procure the en-
ployment of third persons for the prosecu-
ton of suits by the attorney in courts Of

is TO be used in the cases in consideration of
a share of the fees which the attorney shall
receive for his services is against public
policy and void. [93 Northwestern Rep.

A MIsCHIEvOUs PRACTICE.
Question to Jurors That Would BE
Better Omitted.
New York Commercial.

New York Commercial.
The fact that William Jennings BRYAN is
doing ordinary jury duty at his home out in
Nebraska lis interesting only as calling at
tention rather sharply to the truth that
there are still not a few intelligent, COM
petent men here in the United States pos
sessed of ample means and leading ex-
tremely busy lives, who are willing to make
business and personal sacrifices in order TO
do their full duty as good citizens.
OF much more significance is a question
put to Juror Bryan.and presumably TO
each of the eleven other tGlesmen-before
they were accepted. IF selected as a Juror

side and a corporation on the other, could

case is that of widow claiming 81 900 from

by the company to have lapsed prior to his
death. Juror Bryan thought he could view
such a case impartially. No doubt he can
Anybody competent for jury duty ought to
be able TO. But the mere asking of the
question is a recognition-amounting al
most to a fear with many lawyers-of the
widespread and deep-rooted prejudice
against anybody or anything doing bust
ness under the form of corporation in
stead of as a firm or individual. This feel
ing is something wholly artificial and un-
natural-as unjust and unwarranted as Ii Is
senseless; yet IL has to be recognized and
dealt with constantly in the courts. Be-
hind ii is the preposterous assumption that
three men. individually honest and fair. be-
come dishonest and unfair the very moment
they organize themselves and their prop
erty into corporation. And IL Is a Ia
inevitable fact that the asking of a question
like that put to these Nebraska talesmen
actually helps TO breed and TO strengthen
a wholly unreasonable popular prejudice.
There are many and excellent reasons
why attorneys should "cut it OUT hence

MAKING MORMON VOTES.
Just az Well that Arizona Was Not
Admitted.
New York Mail and Express.

New York Mail and Express.
The Senate has done more than one
thing well of late. That one of the things
was the blocking of the statehood project
for Arizona is proved by the action of the
Legislature of the Territory in passing the
pro-Mormon woman suffrage bill that has
been before IL.
Woman suffrage in Arizona means two
votes, on an average, for every Mormon of
voting age in the Territory, for, as rule.
every Mormon who is twenty-one years
old has at least one wife, and no Mormon
woman ever votes against the wishes of
the ''priesthood''-of which potent body
every male Mormon in good standing is a
member.
On the other hand. the non-Mormon pop
ulation of Arizona is largely made up of
bachelors. in the mining towns. in business
communities, on the ranches. While the
bill, IL Governor Brodie permits Ii to be-
come a law, will double the Mormon vote
in the Territory, 1t will not Increase the
non-Mormon vote by more than one-third.
Its passage by both houses shows that the
Mormons must have got the Territory COM
pletely under their control already to make
such legislation possible.
The consolidation of their power will be
a timely warning against any further en-
tertainment of the statehood project for
that Territory.
