THE HARMLESS FUSION IN
 NEBRASKA.

The latest Democratic-Populiat ar rangement in Nebraska. devised by the political genius of MT. Bryan, provides for a division of the State offices and the election of Bryan to the Senator ship. Incidentally the state is to be turned over to Roosevelt by the nomi- nation of two sets of electors, one Pop ulist, the other Democratic.
 On it's fact this looks as if Mir Bryan might have been cooling in his democ- racy since 1892, when he voted for Weaver to keep the electoral vote of Nebraska from Harrison-in whi-h by the way he did not succeed. But the national Democracy will not be inclined to blame him very much this year.
 Nebraska has not figured very exten- sively in the Parker combinations, and a remote chance of capturing it's cleo toral votes would have been dearly bought a the price of identifying the national ticket with Populism.-New York World.

MARRIED WHILE BALTIMORE
 BURNED.

An interesting story of a secret we'd ding has come to light at Baltimore. Robert E. Law and Maud l.. SaffeI were united in marriage February T., the day that Baltimore was swept by lire. They had been engaged several months prior to that time, but the mother of MT. Law had been opposed 10 ms marrying until he was d few years older, although he was then past ms majority It had been MT. Laws custom to visit Miss SaffeI al her home Gucnan avenue, every Sunday even- Ing. On that memorable day he called as usual. While everyone else in the house was downtown watching the fire the pair stole away to Ellicott City. Alter little difficulty they secured the license and made arrangements for keeping the matter secret. Father Iarro performed the ceremony and the couple returned home, their absepae attracting little notice during the ex- Citement,

loo rlany Worlds Fairs.

The plea for reduced rates to St. Louis. made by President Francis of The Louisiana Purchase exposition to thH W'eStern railroads, and which has bceA granted by the railroads as to an area within 100 miles of St. Louis, secqsss to furnish confirmation of the GaEs!vA@ant rumOrs in regard to the un- fortunate financial condition of the great enterprise.
 tg is reported that in his letter to the railways President Francis declared thssH not more than 5,OOOOCO persons visited the St. Louis exposition during The Erst three months. The attendance al She Chicago exposition during the corresponding period was about 9,OOO,- OOp. nearly twice as great. As the St. LaH9is fair is d far greater and more costly enterprise than was the exposi- t'aFs at Chicago, these figures come IiEarez to spelling bankruptcy for St. Louis magnificent enterprise and jus tigy President Francis expressed ap-

 No fault or shortcoming of the ex- position itself has initiated against the popularity of the St. Louis enterprise. greatest, most complete, most magni- flcent, mosa valuable of all American worlds fairs" And yet its pecuniary failure would not be at all surprising. A potent cause for such a result is the fact that with all its charms the Louisiana Purchase exposition lacks completely the enc charm that is most potent to attract public patronage in this countryside charm of novelty These great fairs are ''an old story to the present generation of adult Americans. The business has been ter ribly overdone. No country can be eX- pected to support more than one of these big enterprises in a generation. The people. at large can't always be
 
 United States has had at least half a dozen of them within recent recollec- ton. The average amusement seeker whose patronage is a factor of great importance in an exposition's budget finds all the great fairs pretty much alike in the features that most appeal to him. If you've seen one, you've seen all," he says, and the remark is true enough from his point of view. In- deed he can find at Coney Island ev- erything that is especially likely to in- terest him at a great exposition
 Lack of judicious and effective ad- vertising and inexpert presswork are among the causes of the unfortunate state of affairs indicated by President Francis letter. The newspapers were entirely ignored in the advertising plans of the fairs authorities. For long after the fair was opened there was little indication in the press of the country that anything extraordinary was going on at St. Louis. Recently there has been a great improvement in this respect, but it is rather too late to be greatly helpful. General Apathy seems to be in control of the situation.
 But the root of the trouble is that the great exposition business is tempo rarily played out" The public has had enough. Probably it would be safe to prophecy that twenty expositionless worlds far however magnificent, can be profitably conducted in America

THE COPPER GIANT.

O. z. Kane, president or the Copper Giant Copper company, is in receipt of a letter from the manager. N. w. Fai- son, of the companys mines. in thc Silver Bell district. which speaks very highly Of the properties. The Copper Giant is rated as one of the best mines in the Silver Bell district, the ore being of fine grade of copper with some sil- yer. MT. Faison says in his letter that he feels certain a vein will be struck soon that will prove to be one of the biggest yet revealed in the district.
 The company has two groups of claims, one of nine claims and the oth- CT of five. As in all of the claims Of that section, lead is a dominating spir- it in the ore at present, but the deeper they go the less lead there is and the more indications there are that the copper and silver run together and are very rich.-TUcsOn Citizen.

LOOKING AFTER THE LUNG
 BLOCKS"

Although consumption stays more than a million victims each year throughout the world, and in such q city as New York claims one in every eight who die scientists are figSting this disease with greater hopes of vic tory now than ever before. Whenever it has been combatted with the forces of light and air it has been forced to
 retreat. In New York, for example, the death rate from tuberculosis has ben reduced nearly one-hllf in the last twenty wears. Despite all that New York is doing to prevent the spread of tuberculosis 1000 of the inhabitants of that city are now suffering from this disease. Eight and a half thousand New Workers died from consumption last year. In that same period there were reported to the health department more than 13,00O new cases. The raging of lung blocks requires not only mill lions of dollars, but years. Delay Is one of consumptions potent allies. There are 925,OOO dark interior rooms in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and in the meantime the stricken inmates of these lurking places of disease must be reached and reached quickly. For this purpose the health department has q bureau of information by which the dwellers may learn how they them selves may fight consumption. The vital importance of light and air is emphasized so strongly that many pa tients have formed the habit of sleep ing in hammocks hung from fire es- capes, or in open windows.

AMERICAN HUMoRISTS.
What Some of Them Consider the
 Best Things" They Ever Said.

The Star asked a number of the hu- morists who are now holding a con- vention in St. Louis what they consid- cred to be the best jokes which they ever originated, and succeeded in get ting a cluster of mirth which would be hard to beat, the best humorous thoughts of the best humorous writers ill the United States.
 Frank T. Seabright who is the poet humorist of the Los Angeles Record, said that in his opinion the best thing of which he ever was guilty is the fol- lowing tribute to

 Duncan M. Smith said that the cleverest joke which he had ever writ ten was one which he manufactured about St. Louis some weeks ago, and was All is Fair in love and war and St. Louis"
 Every man present declared that he originated that joke himself, and Mir. Smith retorted with the remark that he always saw his jokes in their papers few days after he had published them.
 MT. Smith claims the distinction of being the man who made the name of Smith famous.
 MT. Smith grinds out a daily column of laughter for the Chicago News.
 Think of punster with the name of Graves.
 Yet Richard s. Graves of St. Joseph, Mo. writes humorous sketches which are published in magazine articles all over the country.
 He says that he took up humor as profession just to counteract the influ- ence of that melancholy name.

An EncFoachment on Free Speech
 In Georgia.

The ogre Of freemen, Government by Injunction, has quietly stolen an other march upon an unsuspecting country. in a case in the court of Judge Cupid. The scene of the latest tyranny is Savannah. One Judge Cam of the Georgia district court the other day heard an application on behalf of the mother of a young maid for an injunc- tscs. t0rbjdding communication between aeF daughter and a youth and after hearing the testimony, entered q decree Of the court forbidding the young man to have any communication with his lady love either by letter, note, tele- graph, telephone, public or private message, or by any whistle, sign, signal devise or scheme whatsoever, whether practiced alone or in conjunction with another. by which his thoughts or will may be communicated"
 Note how tight the lines are drawn between these unhappy lovers, a wall erected thicker than that which separated PyTamus and Thisbes, a gulf fixed, wider than the Hellespont that Leander swan. And note further the incongruity between the cold formal legal phraseology and the subject matter. Any infraction of this injunction will subject the youth to punishment for contempt of court. To prison he goes, there to decline, waste away, die, and his bones to bleach, and when discovered, the :den- tity of the victim of this tyranny to De revealed only by a. lyric of desuair. scratched upon the dungeon wall. Too late Co be avenged, but not too late to add another deathless chapter to the mythology of disappointed and tragic love
 Sympathy must go out to the name lsse youth, provided, Of course, that he violates the injunction by any sign. stGnal, device or scheme whatsoever, either alone or in conjunction with others. that his, her, or their ingenuity may suggest.
 Ii Is q question whether this decree en'CercE{ng on the rights of free thought and speech and upon free sighting and signaling, in ways known to ioVeTs since the world began, can be sustained. Before government by injunction claims this decree as a pre- cedenf fin future cases, the victim should not stop with defying it, but in tbe general interest of maidens and loVeg". should carry it up to the su- prEsne court of the United States. It is fof sAe highest court to say whether the cOmSssOn, fundamental right Of free ssSEEh in this enli ghtened country is to h@ denied to lovelorn Georgia swains alone.

ENJOYS SPENDING MONEY.

pr. Emil Reich, the Hungarian his torian and observer, says that the Americans are a dollar grabbing peo- pie. He has lived in Yanquilandia four years and kept his eyes open to some purpose He notes that while the Uni ted States is the country where the mos; money is earned by the individual, it is also the land where the least value is attached to it. This is very true. The typical "ricachon" in the United States has millions of dollars and likes to spend great sums in founding col leges or libraries, or. like PierpOnt Morgan and the Vanderbilts. he pro- Uides great hospitals for the sick. Rus seI Sage is enormously rich, and spends little money; but he is not dead yet, and no one but his lawyer has seen his will. It may turn out that he has, like Julius Caesar, remembered the poor. Here in Mexico, the average American spends his money freely, and is rarely a hoarder. The resident Euro pean sometimes criticises the American for living too lavishly, and a common complaint is that Americans spoil ser wants by putting up wages. It is the American idea to throw all ones energy and all ones intelligence into making money and then to spend it for comfort and such amount of luxury a ; can be had. No nationality is less open to the reDroach of avarice. The Amer ican is adventurous, active and, 'muy espiendido," or lavish. A Mexican lot tery official says that American buyers of the thin paper tickets are plungers as in no other nationality; but however that may be, the American works hard and if he woes the goddess Chance, he never fails to be at the office on time Mexican Herald.

Mir Daly is the manager of the Cath ollie Standard and Times of Philadet- phia. and contributes humorous poetry to it and to the Philadelphia Press and Philadelphia Ledge.
 William F. Kirk of the Milwaukee Sentinel is the best known by reason of his Swedish and Norwegian dialect poetry. Here is a sample of his work, which he considers to be the best Of all:
 Joyfully. joyfully, joyfully onward

 Kirk says that he doesn't write verse, he writes real poetry.
