THE COMING CROP.

Unless the weather conditions during the next few
months absolutely disastrous this year will break all
records in the of grain produced in this country
The winter wheat crop is practically safe and that it
will be enormous is certain. The crop reasonably
safe and it bound be tremendous unless general and
widespread drought The spring wheat crop has
been put in under conditions that could be better The
acreages great and the expectation of crop could
be better.
The outlook is most cheering for the agrcuturist
and for the people generally, the prosperity of the
country depends to large extent the condition of the
husbandman The outlook justifes the putting aside of
the pesslmstic views of the nancier 1t is quite within
the range of possbilityprobaby even-tha there will
be something of break in the speculative markets, but
is not likely to be reaching in view of the fact that
the worlds bread basket will be filled to OVERLOOKING.
The industrial world is in fair way the husbandman is
we'll off and has the practical assurance of good wear
before him. The financial world may take care of itself
Grain is marketable commodity of undoubted value
The needs of foreign countries will make the price for
grain without very much regard to the home market
The farmer is going to have much money his pocket
and the country is SAFE though Wall should be
wiped off the map

CITY MAY BUILD AUDITORIUM.

Minneapolis has for an auditorium, and the
esteemed Tribune, of that city, ncnes to the opinion
that the building will materiaize in due time The
cent legislature passed law authorizing the city to sell
$4,000 worth Of bonds and the money i'll the build
ing of public auditorium. All the details to be
worked out in the future.
st. Paul needs auditorium as badly Minneap-
oils, but there is in sight. year ago effort
was made to secure by popular support of the
project, and about $1,000 of the required 100000
actually raised and put in the bank. That
aging for it left only $295ooo be secured The
work of raising the $1,000, however something
100 cents the dollar and the gentlemen who began
the enterprise had to go into their pockets make up
the expense money With the winding up Of the affairs
of the lamented Coliseum association all hope of suit
able and credtabe public auditorium for the city went
glimmerng.
Though hope has gone the need of the auditorium is
as urgent ever more's the pity. Whether built by
public-sprited citizens by municipal funds such a
building would bring annually to the city thousands of
outsiders who would spend money here and go away
talking of the enterprise and facilities of ST Paul As it
is they go away making quite contrary talk.
The present outlook is that Minneapolis will go
ahead and get auditorium while ST. Paul by doing
nothing

At the Hotels

Victor Lemke, Bordeaux, France, is
registered at the Ryan hotel, and when
seen yesterday evening, said:
"Oh, st. Paul is no stranger to me!
AT least this is so as to reputation. I
doubt if there is a city on the Ameri-
can continent that is more widely and
better known in Europe than is st.
Paul. Ask anyone there about st. Paul
and they can tell you directly where
it is and what it is-the same is true of
Milwaukee and Chicago, but there
seems to be an unaccountable predilec-
ton for st. Paul, in the French mind,
at least. l said that it is unaccounta-
BILE, and it is. 1 do not know why this
should be so, but it is. And 1 am
pleased with the place, very much
pleased. Minneapolis is a much more
modern place-it has, maybe, nicer
streets, but streets do not make city!
st. Paul appears to have the money
My business? I sell something that
you will find all the world over! The
article is made, or rather put up. onlv
in Bordeaux, so that it is not ONLY the
same article but the same brand that
you will find all over the civilized
world. 1t is as plentiful as the Bible,
and L venture to say that if you and
1 were to walk down Robert street we
would find my wares in a dozen win
dows, yet am the only man who sells
it in the United States. You can't
guess! Well, they are cherries-the
cherry you get in the cocktail"

ENGLISH TO BE UNIVERSAL.

Sir Chen-tung, the Chinese minister at Washing
ton, educated in the United States and therefore
may be somewhat prejudced in favor of the English
language But for all that his conclusion that is to be
the worlds tongue supported by ndsputable facts at
the language of commerce." he said and nearly all
business. For this he holds that knowledge of
English is sufficient for diplomacy.
The expansion of the commerce of English speaking
peoples has been followed by the of the language in
all parts of the world and by the introduction of the
of Europe For many years past and for toacome
the United States has been and will be the point of des
tination of majority of emigrants leaving Ell
rope 1t is quite natural that intending emigrants should
appreciate the advantages of having knowledge of
the language of the country in which they expect
tie later Hence the study English is be-
coming more common in the schools of Europe
But for its absurd spelling the English language
would be easy to acquire and thus it is less
pcated and confusing than any other language use
by considerable number of people. 1t is forcefu
prehenSive and the words of such individuality that they
easily memOrized. It is the language of commerce
because the people who foremost traders of
the world and because is better adapted for business
than any other.
The Chinese minister brought with him a number of
young Chinese boys who will be put the schools of the
United States, and Sir Chenung says there of
their studying German French any language other
than English. He foresees the time when China will
put on the of modern civilization life and real
ICES that IN that day the methods and customs and con-
Ven1ences OF the English speaking peoples will be adopt
ed. Hence his decision to educate the young men in

The boys back is lacerated to his hips.

worse condition. On the instep Of her
right foot is a wound, caused, it is said.
by the application of a glowing poker.
Four fresh scars are on her left leg and
there is a deep scalp wound in TIN top
of her head The Humane society charges
that Earl inflicted these injuries as pun
ishment because the children refused to
perform acrobatic feats which he had en-
deavored to teach them. The wound on
the little girls head was caused by her
falling from a trapeZe. Earl and his wife
travel as performers with patent medi-
cine shows. They took the children from
