CUTTING OFF THE DELEGATES.

The state board of control has decided not to fur
nsh the inmates of the state institutions with strawber-
ries The inmates have not yet been heard from but it
Is very likely that they will protest against this invasion
of their rights by the board Else they will presently
find themselves reduced to the necessity Of subsistng
the bare necessities of life and compelled to forego
those little things that go make life in the 1unatc asy-
lum worth the living.
Those Of who happen without the walls of the
institutions will be reminded by the order of the
board Of control that have been overlooking good
thing perhaps in behaving ourselves retaining our
wits. What does profit man to labor in the cause Of

Fun for St. Louis Bows.

Lizards and snakes, driven to shore by
the flood. are affording great sport for the
small boys The snakes are of every
variety that infest this part Of the coun-
try. and the lizards are of the greenback
variety, that grow to a foot in length.
The water moccasin, black snake and the
common garter snake are being killed by
the thousands. Most of them are young
sters, and they seem to fear the flood. AT
the foot Of Destrehan street yesterday
morning boys with clubs killed scores Of
them. Occasionally a youth, more daring
than his companions, picked one up an
threw it back into the river. Invariably
it swan right back to the railway tracks.
On a drift near the Merchants bridge a
bunch of young water snakes coiled about
each other were found and brought to
shore. When the mass was loosened the
snakes crawled for the weeds and brush
west of the railway tracks, not one Of
them heading for the river. Members of
the houseboat colony at Little Oklahoma,
which stands in clumps of small trees, say
they have killed many snakes that have
crawled into the trees during the past two
or three days. So long as the reptiles do
not get into their houses they do not
cause the OklahOmans much loss of sleep.

servIan Throne Not Soft.

LONDON. June 14.-With reference to
the statement that Prince Peter Kara
Georgevitch insists on the Punishment
of the officers compromised in the tragedy
Of Belgrade as well as an increase in
the civil list, the Vienna correspondent
of the Times says the Punishment Of the
officers would greatly simplify the prob
lem, but such a course appears next to
impossible. in view of the prevailing SEN
timent at Belgrade. Yet. II the crime is
long run prove soft seat for any Servian
ruler.
The most notable feature of the last
two days is the change from callousness
to belated reprobation in diplomatic and
political opinion. Hardly less remarka-
BILE is the change in tone in the press
from complacency to one of horror and
condemnation

RoTHscHILD ON OUR MARKETS.

The remarkable statement that has been made
in regard to the markets of the United States is given
out by Lord Rothschi1d and it requires no comment:
at is good looking further than your in
these matters The depreciation in stock values not
caused by European selling, for the very good
that Europe has scarcely any American securities SELL
Yesterdays sales in London almost entirely
New York orders. Amsterdam sold slightly, but not
nearly much attributed to that city by the dis
patches
when American wants to sell he has got into the
habit of sending his order here and leaving it to the
btrage houses. There is absolutely feeling OF dis
trust Europe the financial conditions in America
Only fool would say that the fnancers here max
ing what you call dead against American securities
What do think of the future? WE'LL the best
swer give is this" and Lord Rothschld handed
stock ticket showing that he had just purchased
shares of American railway. "That, of course
only drop in the bucket, but may tell you that
of the wealthest capitalists know yesterday invested
100000 in American securities and he has put another
100000 into them again this morning. That sounds
large but it is nothing compared with the selling orders
which here from New York. At such period as
this the transactions of the largest investors have
small effect upon the market in which the speculator fig
ures SO largely"
Lord Rothschilds explanation of the recent shrink
age in values is this: "The Speyers into rail
ways Yerkes here to eectrify the under
grounds, Morgan bought British securities, and,
told, Schwab in largely for British ndustrials They
all thought that British European investors would
take larger share in these European enterprises than
they did The result is that of the largest capital
lists in America have been obliged realize their
rites the other side in order provide capital for
their undertakings
Under such circumstances quotations were bound
go down"

President and Broncho for x-Ravs.

The ancient theory that human force is iden-
teal with electricity has been revived and corroborated
While the investigation of radium continues to bring
forth little information about the wizard metal it would
to be reasonable that, given enough
ergy in human organism, X-rays be emitted.
Among all public who have ever been before
the country it will be conceded that Mr. Roosevelt comes
nearest supplying the maximum of nerve force Should
there be urgent need of X-ray for benign or ex-
perimenal purposes in any place where the president
tarries his outing he would cordially consent no
doubt, to be properly harnessed and drawn upon. A
broncho charged with electricity and hitched to Mr.
Roosevelt would complete the equipment required for
human X-ray machine.
The use of Mr. Roosevelt will not be practicable e1-

deadly inertia of Washington would neutralize the hui

Bride of w. X. Vanderbilt to Build
One for the Poor

According to the London Daily Ex-
press, w. K. Vanderbilt has offered to
his bride the money to carry out her
long UNTITLED desire to build a hospi-
tai in Paris for the poor. The building
will be the most complete that can be
devised. Mrs. Vanderbilt will have
carte blanche in everything. including
the situation, style and management Of
the hospital, which will be called by
her name.
During her two years residence in
Paris While she was Mrs. Rutherfurd
she devoted much of her time to
nursing the sick poor. She maintained
a small establishment in one of the
most squalid districts, where she as
sisted the surgeon and attended the
sufferers personally. She also fed and
clothed the poorest and helped them to
find work.

Native Americans Dying Out.

DR.. George J. Engeman of this city, has contributed
to the Popular Science Monthly the result of an invest
cation Of his touching the statement by President
Eliot regarding the small families of college graduates
He does not find that the higher education tends to race
suicide; but he does find that what we commonly call
the native American stock is in fact declining without
reference to the educational condition Indeed the de-
ducton from all the statistics he gather is that the
families OF college graduates larger on the average
than the families of Americans of the native American
stock who do not go to colege.-Boston Herald

Chamberlain seems to have gone out

off after him in his proposals to revive

demoralized Liberals are driven into q
compact opposition by the threat OF
protective tariffs. Protection in Eng
land, by the way, means bounties to
the landlord and not to the manufac-
