She is not copper queen from Montana, nor a silver empress from Colorado, but merely demure little Long Island girl, by name Minnie Allen. She is the granddaughter. heiress and adopted child of ''The' Allen, much celebrated in prose in the dailies of a great city, and the one pool-room keeper of New York the police never cease adyertis- ing
 Little Miss Minnie has been reared far away from the atmosphere of dope sheets past performances and 'lead-pipe cinches." In a huge ances- tral place in Bayport, near Sayville. surrounded by servants and luxuries "The" Allen has grown up. Now she lis about nineteen years old and will live in New York, except for travels abroad and glimpses of London and Paris.
 ''The" Allen. kindly and affectionate old man, has lavished his affection, as well as his dueats, on his granddaugh- ter. and wishes for her the most bril- liant life his wealth can buy. He has great ambition for his well educated and we'll reared little granddaughter. and his cherished desire is to see her established in society Possibly ssThe" Aliens idea of society does not include place in Mrs. Astor's mahogany or calling acquaintance with Miss Van derbilt, but he will take great care that his granddaughter associates are of the right sort
 Miss Allen has one advantage appre- ciated by even the smartest of the smart. She has money. Six hundred thousand crisp American dollars are in her own name, and her grandfather's fortune is by no means pittance. Re- cently she inherited the first named sum from her p-grandmother, wife of The" Allen. But this sudden acqui- sition of wealth does not daunt the modest little woman. She has been reared in comfort of the most solid sort and has never known what 1t is to want anything. In fact, she would have clung to the big old place at Bayport but her grandfather would not have it that way He said the Long Island town, where the Allen family is highly esteemed, is too narrow and confining and that his granddaughter must have the advantages of metropolitan society

SOME HARmLEss FIGURING.

The Washington correspondent of the around for something that will give the Democrats much needed encourage ment. He points out that the reversal this year of something like 27.0o0 votes in three States where the total vote is more than 75O,00O would take these commonwealths out of the Republican column and place them to the credit of the Democratic candidate for Presi- dent. provided there was no falling off in the Democratic vote of 1900. The States in question are Connecticut, New Jersey and West Virginia. All three were carried by Cleveland in 1888 and 1892. Connecticut and West Virginia went Democratic in 1888 by a small majority. In 1892 New Jersey and Con necticut went Democratic by increased majorities, West Virginia being carried by some 4,00O votes, which was a gain over lHe uSulcS Ol tliC EicNiou9 A1eA years. With the nomination of Bryan on a free silver platform in 1896 the three States were swept into the Re- publican column with tremendous ma- jorities for Mckinley. The Democratic vote took an awful slump all along the line, New Jersey being lost by nearly 100000, where only four years previous ly it had been carried by Cleveland by 15,OOo. The loss, approximately, was as great in Connecticut.
 The Democratic managers are said to be figuring on a return in these three States to something like the results of 1888 and 1892. It is a good way to figure and will perhaps hurt nobody. Any how, there are no signs yet in Connecti- cut of Democratic tidal wave.

 The telephone girls of New Haven never s.'sass" the big men, and they are very careful about "sassing' the little ones.

1HrnE rimr TO RE DISCREET

Telephone girls are somewhat excus-
 able for occasionally being sassy"
 Firstly, they are girls, and everybody
 knows that a girl has a right to say what she pleases anywhere and at any tiEle. Secondly, their work is as irri- tating to them as it is to the users of the telephone. And, thirdly, there are men who think it is funny or smart, or both, to try to flirt with the girls. But some things have lately happened which are calculated to teach telephone girls | inclined to be sassy" the wisdom of being sassy at the right time and to the right person.

 John Weaver, mayor of Philadelphia, suffered at the hands of pert and To- quacious telephone girl. The mayor wanted to send message over a "nickel-in- -the-slotp instrument. He was 1 slow in making change the young lady
 at the telephone was in a hurry; there
 was an exchange over the wire more or
 less personal-and as sequel the girl was removed from her position by the
 manager of the telephone company, presumably after the mayor had filed a complaint. The girl can have the sat isfaction of knowing that everybody thinks Philadelphia has a mean mayor, and of course she thinks so, but also of course she wouldn't have been "sas- sy'' if she had known it was the mayor who was trying to talk.
 But girls will be girls and there is telephone girl in Paris who has won more fame than the Philadelphia girl lachieved. The Paris girl "sassed'' no less man than the President of

 than the mayor of Philadelphia, and so is not so strenuous about his dignity.

In all 266 persons met a violent Heath in Chicago during April, partic- ularly at grade crossings and on street railroads. In large part these deaths were the result of carelessness, because, says the coroner, people are too im- pulsive and too negligent Out of these 2s6 deaths there were fifty-six suicides.

In the Monthly Review Maurice A.. Gerothwohl, a competent authority, analyses Russia's financial resources. At the beginning of the year Russia had at its disposal the round sum of 200,000,000, with a possible reserve of S275 1000 more. From this total $75,- 00O.00 must be deducted to meet the gold charges on the external debt for one year. The cost of supporting the Russian army in Manchuria may be reckoned on the basis of Russia's ex- penditures in China in 1900 That cam paign cost Russia 61,900000 roubles (about $39,95O,000). The Russian forces iii Manchu-ia and Pechili at that time amounted roughly to 100000 men. 'If, then, to-day says MT. Gerothwohl, Russia sends to the front 100000, with the periodic drafts to fill up the gaps, we may multiply the previous bill by { 1-2, making 270O00, 900 roubles year (about $130, 000O)." By this reckoning Gerothwohl estimates that Russia has now enough funds for an eighteen months campaign. In the meantime she can begin to borrow.

 Nelson defeated Young Corbett with ease. The men entered the ring a few minutes before 10 o'clock. Jimmy Britt, who was with them, challenged the winner. Billy Roche of New York was the referee. Tn the first round there was plenty of quick work in which no blows of consequence were landed. The second round saw some vicious in1ghting, in which Nelson had a slight advantage. Tn the fifth round it became apparent that Corbett was taking Nelson's punishment to tire him enough to get in his right. Tn the eighth and ninth rounds Nelson forced the fighting. using his favorite right and left to the jaw, which he had used throughout the fight, uatil in the tenth round sCorbett was in such helpless condition that his seconds threw up the sponge and the referee stopped the battle.

Old Spring Held Basketball Players
 Opposed to Eucky Lew.

The former Springfield basketball team is now located in Natick and is owned by Dan O'Neil, manager Of the Springfield base ball team. The Haver- hill team plays Bucky Lew, a colored boy. In the game Saturday night the Natick players drew the color line and did not try to play because Manager c. F. Driscoll insisted upon playing Lew The New England Basketball association fined the Natick team $50 and with the fine came the ultimatum that repetition of the case would bring another fine of double, the first amount and that for a thlrd offense the Natick team would be expelled from the league.
 Harry D. Hough was the direct op- ponent of Bucky Lew in the game and it was hinted that Hough quit because ne was afraid to measure his abilities with the colored boy. Lew formerly lived in Lowell and the basketball
 riters there say that Bucky is all right and should be kepr in the game. It is claimed that the league agreed at former meetings to prohibit colored men from playing in the game. Such an agreement was said to have been made at meetings in Lowell and II. Boston. The Natick players declare that they will not try to play if Lew is put in against them. Bucky Lew is one of the best backfield players in the country.

EDUCATED EITHER WAY.

That wonderful Orlof stallion which is said to know as much as a child of nine years (the age of the horser has passed the point at which he served chiefly to give newspaper notoriety to his educator, and is now being exam ined by committee of men of sea- ence. It is a pleasure to read that they are applying themselves seriously to learn whether the horse can do his remarkable feats when his owner is not present A good deal depends on this, for some of the things involve a power of Reasoning which raises doubt at the outset. For instance, when we are told that after the horse had been told of a visitor, That is Count Dohna," he subsequently when asked the name of the officer spelled out. by selecting the letters the name |"Dohna. "s According to this he mere ly heard the name mentioned, and
 half an hour later being asked the mans name, spelled 1t letter by letter. He must understand the relations be- tween the written letters and their
 united sound in the name better than
 many human beings. If it is all true it is very wonderful. Tn that case it establishes the exist ence in the animal of certain quail ties of reasoning which it has not been supposed could be found except in man.
 Yet something of the same kind must
 have developed in man before he at tained the power of speech.
 The owner and educator of the
 horse Hans is a Herr yon Osten, of
 whom it is said that he was formerly a schoolmaster, but that is maybe a ! mistake. At any rate he has shown a
 fine educational talent with this horse whether the result is really all that it 1 is declared to be or whether 1t is mere
 Iy clever training to do tricks under the direction of the owner, as some 1 suppose it to be.
