English speaking people are taking
satisfaction in the announcement that
English is to be the medium employed
at The Hague Court in the Vene zuean
arbitration case. IL is a suggestion of
the gaining importance of this count y
as well as that of England. Heretofore
French has been the language of d.
plomacy and this may be step toward
its displacement. English has the
strength II not the elegance of some
other language and English speaking
nations are growing rapidly in power
and Ifuence largely owing to the
forging ahead of our own nation.

The Reliance has won two of the three
races she needs to keep the cup on this
this side of the ocean, and if
she wins today, the jig is up with
Upton. There are lots of people who
would be glad to see the gallant Eng
lshman win the race today and two
more later aad thus get the cup. A half
century is long enough time for America
to keep it.

Russia's display of naval power had
the desired effect upon the dilatory
Turk. The Porte makes haste to
promise anything asked for. 1t makes
a difference who makes the demand and
how it is done. A formidable foreign
war feet on nations coast is a serious
proposition. That is the only argument
that will successfully appeal to the
Turkish government.

Municipal Court.

George Taylor was arrested, Tuesday,
by officer W. r. Clifford, for being a
vagabond. Taylor has caused consider
able trouble by his habit of passing
nights in other peoples buildings, and
this propensity led to the complaint
and warrant resulting 10 his arrest.
Judge Bachelor decided to give the re-
spondent chance to mend his ways,
and adjourned the case thirty days, with
view to dropping it if no further offence
occurs.
Yeste'd day, Ira w. Cushing and John
Mclaughlin of The Forks, proprietor
and clerk Of The Forks Hotel, were
brought down to answer to a complaint
for single sale of intoxicating liquor.
Sheriff Lang was the complainant. The
date of the alleged sale was July IS.
The respondents were represented by
S. w. Gould, Esq, George W. Cover,
County Attorney, appearing for the
state
The principal witness for the state
was n. B. Mullen, who testified to &C
ing to the hotel on the night of July IS,
and purchasing pint bottle of whiskey
from Mclaughlin. The liquor Mullen
claimed to have purchased was produced
in court.
Both defendants testified in their own
behalf, Mclaughlin admitted selling
Mullen several bottles of Uno beer, but
denied that he sold him any whiskey.
Gushing stated that he was away at the
time, and knew nothing about it, that il
such a sale occurred it WAS without his
knowledge or authority; and that he
kept no liquor for sale.
Judge Bachelor found both respond
ents guilty, and imposed sentences of
800 and thirty days in Jail in each case.
An appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court and sureties furnished for appear
ance at the September term, whereupon
Sheriff Lang produced two warrants
against the same respondents, for a sale
on the first of May last. A hearing on
these was waived, and sureties furnished
as In the former cases. Similar senten-
ces were imposed.

The Grand Army at San Francisco took
action in favor of petitioning Congress
to pass law giving pension to every
veteran of the Civil war of 81 years Of
age and above. This in effect in a brief
time would amount to a service pension,
as survivors of that war have largely
reached that age and the younger men
are fast nearing it. 1t occurs to US that
the age limit proposed could be increased
a little. Make it Ga years, the age at
which army officers are retired upon half
pay, or IS years, and the measure would
not be burd ,nsome to the treasury of the
country that has already done more in
the way of pensoning ex-soldiers, than
any other nation In the world

Europe, declare that there is nothing to
equal 1t anywhere, not even In London,
which nevertheless possesses one of the
most interesting museums-that of Ken
sington. For a long time it had been my
dream to make Of the Galliera Palace q
home for art workers. Up to the present
day only painters were treated with con-
sderation and respect, while an artist in
wood iron, pewter and jewelry was always
placed in an inferior rank. Sooner or later
a reaction was bound to take place against
this injustice, and the Galliera Museum can
take some credit to itself for having helped
in the reaction. The municipal council OF
Paris gave encouragement and protection
to art workers. and it was in this way that
I had the satisfaction Of seeing the Galliera
Palace open it's doors to the manifestations
of industrial and modern decorative art.
was well supported by the official commits
sion, which held its meetings at the Hotel
de Vile, and I am most grateful to Coun-
cillor Quentin Bauchart and to Councillor
John Labusquiere for having seconded my
efforts with their influence and authority.
1t would only be irksome to the reader for
me to give list Of all the objects Of art
to be found in the Galliera Museum come
Of which belong to the museum and others
to the artists who exhibit them. All Of
them represent, as samples chosen by n jury,
modern industrial art in all it's various
forms. From Alexandra Charpentser'S
medals Carabin's furniture, to the jewelry
by Lalique, everything is to be found here.

SAVAGE CLUB DINNER.
Sir Harry Johnston's Very Different
Meal in Africa.

From the London Chronicle.
In the unavoidable absence Of Sir Ed
ward Clarke, K. c., Alderman Sir Will
lam Treloar presided at the forty fifth an
nual dinner Of the Savage Club. The
chairman. in proposing Our guest re-
GREETED very much the absence of Sir Ed
ward Clarke, and expressed his fear that
this absence was due to his mixing too
much in highly civilized society. Oaughter.)
The toast he would couple with the name
of Sir Harry Johnston.
Sir Harry Johnston said African SOW
agery was fast disappearing under the In
fluence Of a not altogether compromising
civilization. One Of his first African ban
quets was in wild part of West Africa.
He was a very timid guest because he had
been hauled out Of his canoe on the Upper
Cross river. and his porters were impris-
oned. It was feast lin honor of ances-
tors, and he was told that the dinner to
some extent consisted of the ancestors
the composition Of one rather agreeably
f1avorish dish of red paste, and was told 1t
was man! It was made of triturated rela-
tive which had been previously smoked
over fire Of weeds, and had been mixed
with palm oil, red pepper and salt. Having
consumed his entremet he became mem
Der of the tribe. Oaughter) His last Afri-
can banquet was in very different circum-
stances. 1t was little more than a year
ago. 1t was an assembly Of blacks, but
the menu was in French, and the feast was
certainly cooked under French influences,
so that In this as in other matters Africa
was fast losing its savagery, and would in
time become as tame as much Of this life
seemed to him. But they (he club were
developing little mild sayagery. for they
were trying to bring to bear little more
Of the real into our artificial life, and per-
haps in that aspect Of savagery they were
doing very wholesome work. (Cheers)

A Vanishing Industry.
From the London Chronicle.

Whaling is one Of the vanished industries
OF Australia. In the thirties and forties It
was very remunerative business. The
first settlement in Victoria was made al
most seventy years ago by the enterprising
Henty Bros. from Sussex, who started a
whaling station on the shores Of Portland
bay. They flourished there for considera-
BILE time. but the whales were gradually
frightened out Of Australian waters and
have now to be sought in the neighborhood
of the south pole. The other day a couple
Of whales entered Portland bay and inter-
ested some thousands of spectators No at
tempt was made to capture them, as the
town OF Portland no longer possesses ap-
phances Tor the purposes or .conts n,piates

ANIMAL CIRCUITS.
Monkeys and Birds Cause Damage by
Perching on Electric Wires.

From the New YORK Evening Post.
The builders of the telephone and tele-
graph wires in Mexico first congratulated
themselves that the absence OF sleet
would allow them to economic on the con-
struction, but the ring tailed monkeys and
parrots soon awaited themselves Of the OPP
portunity to congregate on these lines at
night, and heavier construction became
necessary. In like manner, when lines were
first built through forests the absence OF
municipal supervision did not allow the full
range Of anticipated economies. for the
bears, mistaking the humming Of the wires
for concealed hives of bees, were active in
their search for the hidden sweets gnaSh-
were severely weakened. And now come
the birds to add to the trouble, for the
power circuit at Anaheim, in southern Cali
fornia, was short-circuited by an owl, caus-
wires falling upon telegraph wires caused
difficulties on those lines.
If the eagles which alighted on wires Of
opposite polarity in the Fresno power cir
suits had remained in peace and harmony
1t would have been better for both birds
and plant, but the first blow Of a fight
caused the simultaneous defeat Of both
eagles, and the arc short-circuiting the
wires made the inevitable trouble at the
central station. A heron recently alighted
on the power circuit of the Trenton Falls
line, few miles north of Utica, N. Y, and
stepping across from one wire to the other
maze DurnC O1eFluS OF himself ana .rOu-
BILE again at the central station. Along the
Atlantic coast in eastern New Jersey the
fishhawks establish their nests on the tele-
graph and telephone poles, and defend their
homes with such pugnacity that the line
men are obliged to carry sheathknives in
their belts for defense.
There are numerous instances Of rats
causing crosses at switches In electric
lighting lines. and some Of the fires in the
underwriters bulletins have been ascribed
to this cause 1t is but q short step from
rats to cats. and a cat at Lockport. re-

caused some dificulty at the power house

sion bugs for specific trouble Is not en-
tirely of ethical significance, because the
insects are an. omnipresent difficulty for
