For goodness sake. tell me why
flags are being displayed all over the
city?" was a question that was asked
many times yesterday. Women pester-
ed the lives out OF their husbands with
the question. and. OF course. the hus-
bands made replies that were far from
correct. Nobody seemed to know just
what was going on. June II is Flag
day in this nation. but II is one OF those
semi holidays with which people gen
orally are not familiar. June IA. 1777,
the stars and Stripes were adopted as
the national emblem. and in sommem-
oration OF that event the American
nag is hoisted on the anniversary of
the date.

The resolution adopted at the ad-
journed session Of the council Monday
night instructing City Engineer Tee
to report the best grade for a park
road west on Commercial street from
Third to First and thence south on
First to Exchange Is calculated to
solve the problem OF street connection
in the Hlnman tract. There are many
residences back on the hill, and the
proposed new streets win be Of great
convenience to them. The property
south Of Commercial street is excel
lent for residences, and streets in that
section will doubtless result in build
ing boom. The report Of the engi-
neer win be presented at the next
meeting OF the council.

The Distribution of Wealth.

The late William Weightman left his entire fortune of over $40. 100000 to his daughter. Mrs. Robert C. Walker. the widow of a former member of congress and for a time a resident of Phoenix Mrs Walker, since she came into pos session of her fortune, has been called the richest woman in the country.
 A man who has succeeded in taking advantage of the marvellous opportuni- ties for acquiring vast wealth afroI ded by the government and institutions of this country surely Is under some obli- gations to his fellow men and to the needs of society in the matter of dis posing of his fortune when he dies, if not during his lifetime. IL seems chur- fish and inexpressibly selfish 10 keep on acquiring millions as long as life lasts and then to leave the huge bulk Of treasure in lump to a single heir that it may be further increased in vol, ume and value.

The Beef Strike.

The great beef strike is rapidly ap- preaching it's terminus. Before it will have time to come to an end by nego- tiation it will probably end itself by the rush of the strikers to regain their old places. It promised to be one of the most annoying of industrial dis turbances having a much wider effect than even the anthracite coal strike had. Every family in hundreds of cit ies were affected and household eX- penses were enormously increased. Public sympathy was generally with the strikers perhaps not so much on account of the merit of their quarrel as on account of the disfavor with which the beef trust is generally regarded. So long as the labor leaders localized the trouble confning it to themselves and the parties against whom they had a grievance they were still sure of pub lie sympathy and the wish that they might win. But when a week ago President Donnelly tried to extend the strike to the independent packers with whom labor had no grienvance and an- nounced at the same time that he was going to create a meat famine such as he had not been able to bring about by the original strike, he failed in the very thing he sought to accomplish. Public sympathy was lost.
 It was hardly conceivable from the beginning, or especially after the turn ing down of the first agreement for a settlement, that the packers would yield. It was possible for them to manage their business in such a way that their losses were comparatively sinau This was. too, the first strike of ma gnitude that had ever been made against the packers and it was highly eszential to them that they should win. lf they do so it will be a. long time before there is another strike in the stbS kEaTds.

GOT A BETTER JOB.

Former Judge W. J. Wallace of AL bany told this story, which was sifted out of part of the evidence in a case presided at by a former colleague who recently resigned the bench:
 An Albany tradesman had in his employ a lad whose mother was q Wi dow in bad circumstances, the conse- quence being that the boy was poorly clad. The tradesman kindly offered to get the bOya suit of new clothes, pro- vided the boy paid him at 25 cents week out of his wages. The first Mon- day after that arrangement had been made the lad did not go to work as usual and on his employer sending to inquire the reason, his mother said that he looked so respectable she was trying to get him a better job."-New York Globe.

Exports.

4 highly gratifying thing about the statistics of exports that have lately been published by the department of commerce and labor is that while our manufactured exports for the fiscal year of 1904 reached high-water mark. the volume of our agricultural exports maintained a high level.
 Although agricultural exports for the last fiscal year fell of s9C,OOO,O0O as compared with the record breaking year of 1901. and s2O. .e0e. .0Oe as compared with 1903 they still aggregated sS53,- 7CO.OO0 the highest figure that they have ever touched, with the two ex captions mentioned. The fact is the more encouraging for the reason that lately we have not been selling as large quantities of certain breadstuffs abroad as we sold formerly.
 It is on account of these considera- tions that the notable increase in our manufactured exports for the last fis- cal year is Goubly cause for rejoicing. These exports amounted to the unpre- cedenfed sum Of s452. .5OO OOO-a gain of $45. .OOO. GOO over 1903. Since 1894 the val ue of our manufactured exports has increased 150 per cent and they have practically doubled in value since the boom in 1897 began to set in.
 With the volume of both agricultural and manufactured exports tending up- ward the balance of trade is likely to costinue indefinitely to run heavily in favor of this country.

it was "a disgrace to die rich" There has been much newspaper humor in- dulged in at the expense of Andrews efforts to reduce himself to poverty; but every right thinking man honors him more for seeing that the great body of his wealth is due to the im- provement and uplifting of his fellows rather than to the gorging of his fam fly heirs with a vast unearned estate.
 One can see what the fruits of great fortunes left to be handled by heirs who have not the qualities for wisely directing their use are by noting the profiigacy and extravaganza displayed with every sign of offensive ostenta- ion in what may be called the colo nies of millionaires. The world teens with opportunities for the wise and benefcent expenditure of surplus wealth. but many who inherit it are blind to every form of outlay except ing that which ministers to their van ity and pleasure.
 This, however, is not true of the most of those who in our day have acquired millions. While in no other age or country have such vast fortunes been accumulated, it is gratifying to know that never have the owners of great wealth been so princely in their gifts to worthy causes.

BELLS ACROSS THE MEADOW.

Bells across the meadow, daisies white as foam. And a little towhead singing as he drives the cattle home; And rosy cheeks awaiting for the cat tie at the bars, And whippoorwills a-singing,- and the first. faint gleam of stars.

 Youth time is best;
 The bells sing of love.
 And the bells sing of rest. Bells across the meadows, waited sweet along; This is youths own summer. blossom bright with song; Dewdrops seek the lily. where bees the honey drain Cheeks are only rosy for the lover in the lane!
 Moonlight and starlight;
 Youth time is best;
 For the bells sing of love.
 And the bells sing of rest. Bells across the meadows-Par and for away. They take you back in memory to vio- let-dreams of May; To woodlands where the thrushes sung where love delighted dwells.- The sweetest of your dreams are there faint echoes of the bellsl

English Towns That Advertise.

On this side Of the water advertis-
ing is confined to firms and private
corporations. In England, however,
municipal corporations have taken to
exploiting their advantages. The
town of Blackpool, in Lancashire,
and the Isle of Man, have each an adj
Vertising manager, whose sole duty
it is to obtain for his employer the
maximum of publicity.
Scarborough and Ramsgate, seaside
resorts, advertise widely; Worthing,.
another resort, uses illustrated postal
cards and adhesive stamps containing
views Of the town, which are pasted
on parcels and letters; and East
bourne, Brighton, Swansea and other
places are about to go into the bust
ness on a large scale.
There is no reason, really, why they
should not do so. 1t is strange that
American towns offering advantages
to holiday seekers have not followed
their example, but have left it to pri-
waite enterprises to exploit their pc
culiar advantages.-New York Jour
nal.
