authorities say the cost to the store
was $1.1O. But if it brought 5000
people to the store it was a good in
vestment.
But were the former days less free
from fraud? An old tea dealer here
the other day, being in a reminiscent
mood said that 1S49 he sold 1000
chests of "gunpowder tea" at s cents
a pound and there wasn't one bit of
tea in the lot. Nothing but mud, and
tissue paper colored and twisted to
resemble tea leaves. When placed in
water the leaves foated and the mud
went to the bottom. 1t went to the
California mines and was used to
weight real tea. No such transac-
ton would be possible now.

June 9th being the 127th ami
versary of the birth of the American
flag, saw the emblem floating from
thousands of houses all over the city
and suburbs. But the truth is that it
was not seen on two houses where it
was on one. l don't believe that half
the people own an American flag, and
why this is, no one can tell. Proba-
bly, on the same line that every family
does not have a hammock or a sau-
sage %stuffer. That every family
ought to have some sort of a flag goes
without saying.
The schools are closing and now
the question of where to spend a va
cation must be settled. After all
others have gone away, it will be
found that home is a pretty good
place to stay after all, for you can
do just as you see fit and the neigh
bors are not there to criticise.

Under the law the Superintendent
of the United States Military Acad-
envy at West Point is required to re-
port to the Secretary of War the
names of six cadets of each class who
have made the best records during
the year. These cadets are known
as the star members of their class,
and their names are printed as such
in the Army Register. The six star
members of the graduating class of
this year are as, follows: @. r. Pettis,
of North Carolina; w. D.. A. An
derson, of Virginia; R. T. Ward, of
Colorado; H. III. Robert. of Mississ-
ippi; J. J. Kingman, of Tennessee,
and r. P. Howell, Jr., of North

five of the six are from the South

COMMON SENSE AND cLAIM-ALLs

The Hon. Thomas Taggart is a rare optimist We are going to win this year," he says, there ae no quarrels and no factions" Arcadian innocence, the harmony of the Golden Age.
 The Hon. Patrick Henry McCarren is more definite. He "can tell you something about New York" and he does:
 This state is going Democratic by 50.00O plurality. Remember that pre- diction. am sure of it. We shall give Judge Parker 5O,0O0 plurality and elect a democratic governor"
 Every political pilgrim of the first second or third class who carries his wisdom to S1gamore Hill is just as on magnifying glasses and elects RoOse- welt, just as the Democratic manager put on the magnifying glasses and elect Parker.
 All these Democratic and Republican takers know they are talking idiocy. Everybody in the country knows it. The fight is going to be hos and close. There are divisions in both camps. At pres ent, at least, nobody has any means of knowing what the end will he.
 Why, then, must the political augurs keep up their old foolish batter and "claim everything? Is there any good reason, other than habit, why politi- clans shouldn't cOndescend tD comm n sense, even in public.-New York Sun.

A TUNNEL OF THE FAR FUTURE

The Chamber of Commerce of Paris IS advocating the construction of q tunnel under the English channel. to connect France and England by an aU- rail route. The project is an old one. It comes to the front whenever there IS a temporary era of good feeling be- tween the two countries The engi- neering difficulties are probably not in. saperable, but the international difH- culties probably are. Whenever the subject is broached the British taxpav- CT wants to know what's the good of spending millions to secure the naval control of the channel if you're going to build France a military road right into the heart of England. Jauuas Bonhomme immediately begins to see visions and dream dreams of train loads of the troops of 'perfide Angle terre' pouring out of the French end of the tunnel to devastate the sunny, land of France" The millennium will be well along in years before that sub enamel tunnel gets any popular ad- Vocacy on either shore of the narrow seas.-Rochester Democrat and Chron- icle.

CABBAGES WAY DOWN
Growers in This Section Disap-
pointed at Prices Received
for Their Product.
THE YIELD is ENORMOUS.

The shipments of cabbage from this
section of the state are greater this
year than ever before, and the rail
road companies are unable to furnish
sufficient cars to supply the demand.
Hundreds of cars containing cabbage
are being shipped out every week
and the thousands of tons which are
to be forwarded must be shipped with
in the next two weeks, and it is feared
that it cannot be done.
AT the Racine Junction yards of the
Northwestern and ST. Paul roads, at
Ives and at Cor1iss, many cars are be-
ing loaded and forwarded to the east
and south. At Berryvi11e many cars
are loaded every week and forwarded.
While the number of cars of cabbage
to be shipped from this section this
year cannot be estimated, it will be
greater than ever before. From Cor
liss 200 cars of cabbage will be
shipped. More acreage was devoted
to the raising of cabbage in this sec
ton than in previous years, so that
the shipments Will DE much larger
than in other years.
The growers of cabbage are not re-
ceiving the price per ton expected.
Last year 81 ton was received at this
time, but the price received now is
much less. This is due to the great
amount of cabbage grown in this vi
cinity. Growers of cabbage who have
cold storage houses are filling them
with cabbage and the cabbage that
cannot be stored is sold and shipped.
The cabbage stored will bring good
prices within few months. Last
year during the winter cabbage in
cold storage houses was sold for $50
to 500 ton and the growers made
large profits.

MALLORY PROMINENT
Rector of st. Matthew's Parish
Of This City Honored at the
Conference in Boston.
LEADS GLORIA IN ExCELSIS.

The Rev. Mr.. Mallory of st. Mat
thews parish of this city, who has
been attending the Episcopal Con-
ference at Boston, at which the Arch
bishop of Canterbury was the leading
light, was honored in a unique way
last week by leading in the singing
of the Gloria in Exce1sis. The Living
Church, the leading Episcopal paper
of the country, gives the following
account of the incident.
"A very pleasant incident occurred
just after the close of the reception
of the Archbishop of Canterbury. He
had closed his address, and at the re-
quest of the president of the house,
had given his blessing, when the
president engaged in conversation
with him and with many of the bish-
ops standing on the platform. The
members of the House were convers-
ing with each other and commenting
on the addresses, when Mr.. Pierpont
Morgan remarked to the members of
his delegation that 1--WE ought to sing
the Gloria in Exce1sis as finale. DR..
Huntington and DR.. Parks agreed to
it, but neither one felt confidence
enough to start the hymn.
The Milwaukee delegation, sitting
Immediately in front of the New
York seats, said they had a member
who could start the singing, and so
DR.. Huntington urged him to do so;
whereupon the Rev. Chas. L. Mallory
commenced in strong bass voice.
AT once it was taken up, and the
Bishops on the platform as soon as
they realized what was doing, came
to order and joined in the singing.
It was happy episode and many
we're the thanks expressed to Mr..
Mallory for his action. -
