The English "Beerape. 4"
From lions Herald

England has its peerage and its "beerage"
or Its peerage. which is beerage This
term "beerage" fittingly describes the new
made aristocrats who have-in considera BILE
numbers-obtained titles indirectly as the
result of fortunes made in selling whisky,
beer. stout and other intoxicants Brewers
and distillers have their attractions for the
religious and esthetic classes in Great Brit
ain from the fact that they rebuild cathe-
drals and erect churches. while the political
leaders regard them with favor because
they contribute largely to campaign funds
ana stand for hopeless parliamentary seats
AS result, the class of beer-made peers
which includes the coroneted Guinnesses
Burtons and Allsopps. has become quite
numerous. much to the satisfaction of the
whisky dealers. who feel that their trade
interest Is largely safeguarded by the
presence In the house of lords as we'll as in
the commons OF men closely allied with the

Balfour seems to be daliying with the temp

eating legislation in their interest and at
the expense OF the taxpaying middle and
lower classes. and Is surrounded by ad-
visers who urge him to that course since

itself OF the "beerage" incubus. the cause of
temperance legislation in Great Britain is
sure to lag and languish.

ing documents in envelopes. 1t has orders
for a million documents from congressional
districts which it has not been able to fill.
The men who have sent for these docu-
ments want them to get the campaign
started.
The documents are used largely in order
to coach district leaders and second-rate
speakers as to the lines Of the campaign
and the arguments they should put forth in
their speeches. Even that class of poll
ttcians cannot be accommodated. 1t all
means a further delay in getting the cam
paign started.
The committee has been sending out
nearly 100000 sets of documents daily dur
ing the larger part of the past six weeks.
But that IS only drop in the bucket when
the immense demand for documents is con-
sidered
Chairman Cowherd was in New York
today. and 1t Is expected that within q
day or two 1t will be decided whether the
committee will continue its work here or
move to New York. Until that is decided
there will be no great enlargement of the
literary work that is being done.
Every officer OF the committee Is chatting
under the delay that because of one reason
or another Is being forced on 1t. The men
responsible for the work realize that with
September 1 approaching their necessity
for action Is becoming acute, because to q
large extent the activity Of the committee
controls activity in the congressional dis
tricts. where the formation of effective or
ganizations is naturally q matter that

Diamonds Improved by Radium.

The influence of radio-emanations on the
constitution of matter is very curiously
illustrated in some recent experiments
made by Sir William Crookes. According
to the results. II radium comes to be a
common commodity among us some dis
may may be caused to those who wear
diamonds on finding that the carbon crys-
tai under the influence of radium threatens
to return to its less attractive form of
graphite or crystalline black carbon. On
the other hand. radium may turn out to be
a diamond improver."
1t Is we'll known that radium emanations
possess the property of darkenng trans
parent bodies upon which they impinge.
and now Sir William Crookes has shown
that this also holds good in the case of
diamonds. The emanations not only con-
vert the surface into graphite. but also
alter the color Of the body of the stone. II
Is therefore suggested that this observa ton
may prove to be of commercial Importance.
For example, IF off-cOlor stones can be
lightened their value will increase while IL
the prolonged action Of radium Is to COM
municate to them a, decided color they
would be worth much more as fancy
stones" This may add considerably to the
business Of the Jeweler who. for a consid-
GRAFTON. might undertake to submit ON
Jewels" to burial in radium for a season.

parently remained until April 2s Then It
appeared on Gen-San. Korea. Two tor
pedo boats entered the hart,or and sank
the Japanese steamship GOyo Maru. after
having first ordered the crew OF the vessel
ashore. On the same day the 20 ton Jan
aneSe vessel Nakamura Maru was sunk
by the squadron of tho same port. while
or the following day the torpedo boats Of
the SQUADRON attacked and sank the MILL
tary transport kinshiu Maru. The Kin
shiu Maru had on board about 27O men, in
Guiding the crew. Of which number 2V0

The next raid OF the Vladivostok squadron
was In June. On June 30 the cruisers again
appeared of Gen-San. this: time entering
the harbor and sinking the steamship Koun
OF ISIS TONS and little coastwise steamer.
The following day a cabIegram from Tokyo
said that II was believed that kamimura
had succeeded in entrapping the Russian
ships. but the following day the report
proved erroneous.
The last sortie Of the Russians occurred
OF July 90 when the fleet entered the Pa
cific ocean. 1t was on this raid that the
British steamship Knight Commander was
sunk and the steamship Arabia was cap
tured.

itself seems to have less consideration
among the rural democrats than three
months ago. At that time I met many OF

Majorities In the Cities.
This matter OF majorities in the cities Is
the only one which from my passing OBJ

need concern the republicans. There Is no
question whatever about the rural repub-
ucan vote Nor does there appear to be
question that the democrats have gen

their fight in the cities. Buffalo of course
is the greatest puzzle. I don't know any

This wear from the surface indications ev-

1t would be suppressing the truth to say
that the rural republicans have full con-
fidence In their brethren In New York city.
They have not much information concern
ing political affairs below the Bronx. but
they have a very clear idea which they
state frankly It is that the republican
organization in New York city should be
able to fix a limit on the Tammany ma
jority there. With, that done the upstate
republicans can roll up a majority big
enough to carry the state for the national

SHORTAGE OF POTATOES.
Cause Is the Flood in Southern Kan
saS Counties.

There is a great shortage in the po-
tatO market throughout the state of
Kansas, due to the floods in southern
Kansas which caused all the Texas po-
tatoes to be diverted to the eastern and
northern markets. Two weeks ago po-
tatoes were quoted by the wholesale
men at Sill bushel, and now they are
$1.40. The etailers have advanced the
price about 50 cents a bushel.
s. z. Lux, the commission man said
today: Instead of advancing in pric-,
potatoes would naturally have declined
during the past two weeks. We are just
beginning to get potatoes from Okla
homa, and soon the Kansas potatoes
will be ready. 1 look for the present
high prices to break within the next
few days. They will go down fast when
they once start"
Commission men say that for the
past week it has been almost impossi-
BILE to get potatoes at any price All
Kansas towns are affected in the same
way, and the whole state is suffering
from a potato famine.
