The Chances of lime.

Bishop Potter tells of a New York
clergyman whose views when he took
his present charge were far in adj
vance of those about him. By de-
grees new ideas crept in and a young
minister, thoroughly imbued with
these advanced notions, was called
in to assist him. Said the young man
one day: Doctor, 1 have always
been told that you were high
churchman, but 1 don't think you are
high church at ALL" The elder
preacher replied: MY dear young
brother, when 1 first took up my resi-
dence in New York 1 lived way up
town. Now 1 live way downtown
and yet I have been living in exactly
the same house all the time"

Trade Statistics.

English papers. to prove that Great
Britain is not retrograding under free
trade, assert that the aggregate for
eign trade of their country is $155 per
capita, while that of the United
States is only $45 per capita. Hence
Great Britain is three or more times
as prosperous as the United States.
Let US look at one item in the propo-
sition- We are, in round figures, buy
ing $100,000,o00 worth of foreign
sugar year by year and, equally, ex-
porting a like value with which to pay
for the sugar. Sugar adds to our sta
tistical evidence of prosperity $780,
100000, or $3.50 per capita per annum
If we made all of our sugar and paid
our own farmers 100000, 900 for it, we
would by this standard of prosperity
all lose $3.50 per year,

"PooR cARLoTTA" is DYING.
Unfortunate Widow of Macmillan Can
Not Live Many Days.


Not Live Many Days.
Calling for her dead husband Car
lotta, widow of Macmillan, once en-
peror of Mexico, is dying in her prison,
the Chateau de Bonchat, near Brus-
sells.
She still holds a mock court daily
fancying herself yet Empress of
Mexico, for she has been bereft of
reason for thirty-seven years. To
humor her the attendants pretend that
she presides over their entertain
mentS.
Carlotta was seventeen when she
became Maximilian's bride in 1857. 1t
was love match and the ten years of
their welded life were a continuous
honeymoon. But Macmillan was over
thrown, captured, led out behind hill
at daybreak and shot by the 'execu-
ton guard"
Before[the capture of the Emperor
the Empress pleaded with Napoleon
III and with the Pope to aid her hus-
band. Her prayers were unanswered.
The first symptoms of mental de-
rangement were manifested on the
day on which she had her last inter
view with Napoleon.
oring her belief that she is still en-
press and in a palace in Mexico, her
attendants find her easy to manage.
With the limited funds allowed her
by her family she has always found
much fault, because 1.-The palace" as
she styled the castle that is really her
prison, was not kept up in better
style.
King Leopold seldom sees her. 1t
is a public scandal that he dissipated
her fortune.
The most pathetic feature of EN-
press Carlotta's fate is her hallucina-
ton that her husband is alive. She
talks of him frequently, and often
begs courtiers to send her husband
to her at once.
why does he stay away from me
so 1ong?" she asks pitifully.

cLAIRvoYANTs IN A TRUST.
Seers to Combine to Investigate STOCK
Market.

Seers to Combine to Investigate Stock
Market.
The clairvoyants of New York have
formed trust, or what serves the
purpose of such an organization, even
if it does not deserve to be called by
that name. Unlike the Chinese laun-
dry trust, it's object is not to fix prices.
The trust of the seers has another
purpose. All of the members are noti-
fed by the head officer that certain
stocks are to be recommended
to clients seeking enlightenment as to
the best means of investing their
money. Sometimes several companies
are on the list.
Daily reports are made by the presi-
dent to the members as to what the
nature of their advice should be. OF
course, this combination does not work
only for the benefit of the companies.
The clairvoyants get their rakeoff.
But. naturally, they do not profit so
much as the companies, one of which
made 100000 last year through this
branch of its business.

ton. The distinction is easily marked

involves no exigency justifying the
unusual and hazardous proceeding OF
an extra session. So marked is the
difference of opinion as to the proper
measure for imparting elasticity to the
currency that there is no prospect of
an agreement, and hence no prospect
that final action could be had on
currency bill prior to the time for the
regular session. AS to the Cuban
treaty, if American growers of sugar
AID tobacco are to be robbed of the
protection guaranteed to them in the
Dingley tariff and solemnly pledged to
them in the national Republican plat
form, they can be as effectively robbed
in December or January as in October
or November.
Extra sessions of Congress are seri-
Gus things. All Presidents heretofore
have resorted to them with great re-
luctance. Even in the presence of so
grave a condition as that which exist
ed in the early part of 1897, when hun
dreds of millions worth of foreign
goods were being hurried to this coun-
try in anticipation of the higher duties
certain to be imposed by the Repub-
lican party; and when all labor and
industry clamored for speedy res
tOratlOn OF adequate prOtectfOn, even
under these circumstances President
Mckinley was loath to call an extra
session, and only consented to do so
as the. result of strong pressure and
strenuous urgency on the part of the
business interests. If President Nc
Kinley was reluctant to break prece-
dents and summon Congress into ex-
traordinary session to pass the Ding
ley tariff in 1897, how much more re-
luctant should President Roosevelt be
to take a step so fraught with risks
on the eve of a great Presidential
election!
Currency legislation being practi-
cally impossible because of. the failure
of those leading in the movement to
agree upon any plan, an extra session
either in October or in November
need not and should not be called on
account of the currency. AS to the
Cuban question, if there is to be a
| fight over it inside the Republican
party in Congress, surely there should
| be no precipitate haste in bringing
on that fight Let us have peace as
| long as we can
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1903-10-03

The necessity for an extra session
seems to be disappearing. 1t was
given out some weeks ago that the
President had determined upon Nov
as the date on which Congress
should assemble in extraordinary ses-
sion to consider currency legislation
and the contamination of the Cuban
reciprocity treaty. Since then reports
have been current of an intention to
name date early in October. There
is gratifying reason to anticipate that
the earlier date will not be the one
selected. Members of both Houses of
Congress are as a rule strongly averse
to assembling in extra session at all,
much less at a date when state and
local politics require attention. In
many of the state legislatures are to
be elected which are to choose
United States senators. In all of the
states elections of one sort or an
other are to be held. Hence the strong
objection to an October session
1t is understood that large major
ity of senators and representatives are
also opposed to an extra session in
November. They argue that mas
much as Congress is able to assemble
the first week in December for the
regular session, they should not be
called to Washington In November
unless some pressing emergency
exists which requires prompt action.
They can perceive no such emergency.
Iney know of no legislation which
could not be as well or better attended
to at the regular session which be-
gins early in December. Currency
legislation, they maintain, presents no
such urgency, and the Cuban question
