New York, Aug. 5.-A roan horse
hitched to a settler water wagon was
attacked by blind staggers in front of
1910 Third avenue. where there is a
millinery shop on the ground floor.
Samuel Eichenbaum of 745 East Sixth
street, the driver, unhitched the morse
and called Policeman Devine of the
East Sixty-seventh street station to
help him handle it.
The animal waltzed the cop all over
the street. and finally backed through a
plate glass window in the millinery
shop. The crash of the splintered glass
seemed to madden the horse, and it
backed still farther into the shop, LASH
ing out with it's heels. young woman
trimming hats in the rear of the store
fed through a back window. Hats of
chiffon, lace, feathers, and various otn-
er trimmings were kicked about and
deposited in melancholy wrecks all over
the floor.
The policeman and the driver finally
got the horse out of the millinery shop
and as he was driven away in an S.
p. G. a. ambulance the aggrieved%oung
woman stood in the door and heatedly
inquired who was to settle for the dam

Andrew Carnegie may not want to leave much money when he dies, but he apparently does want to leave a name. So he contributes money to va rious things with the condition that his name be attached to the things. Lately he has made the painful discovery that there are people who do not want his money with that condition. Professor Agassiz declined an offer of $175,O00 from MT. Carnegie to promote scien- tific expedition because he insisted upon having his name permanently appended to 1t. MT. Carnegie also wanted to con tribute to the establishment of the Ben Franklin trade school in Boston. And Boston just swelled up and sputtered. Even President Eliot of Harvard said things. And this is the plain language of the Boston Recoris The one amaz- ing part of Carnegie's programme of largesses since he determined to die poor and, therefore. undisgraced, has been his childish insistence that his name be connected with every bond he gives. Even to extend the scope of the Franklin fund, Boston will never con- sent to accept a single Scotch penny from MT. Carnegie if he demands the l-. 3- t5 E 2 { !. < linking of his name with Franklin's in the foundation of any trade school. The two funds left by Franklin, amounting to $55O.0o0, are large enough to be inde- pendent of the steel king. And the city of Boston is equally 50. The trustees of l the Franklin fund are constituted to guard and spend that money. There is nothing in the clause about any other money.
 This looks like proper pride. Anyhow, it is pride that will be persisted in. Bos- ton and Massachusetts don't care for a little money. They have shown that by the way they have pursued the gypsy
 moth.

The removal of some rural letter car- riers for improper efforts to influence Legislation is an interesting and impor- tant episode. It appears that the ex- ecutiye board of the National Rural Carriers Association held meeting in St. Louis, and as a result President Cunningham, of the association, is said to have called on members of the na- tional committees of both the Republi- can and Democratic parties to ascertain what support they would give to legis- lation in the interest of the carriers. The plan Of campaign for this legisla- ton carried on prior to the November election by President Cunningham and Secretary Humber, both of whom were recently dismissed. was. it is charged, approved and endorsed by Nivin and Whitehead. The report on the investi- gation points out that Nivin's plan was that the rural carriers m each State should look into the question of SUD- porting the congressional candidates in their States, and to the candidates that proved atrue'' the association was to pledge it's support. Some letters which the department has on file indicate that ltFe carriers had outlined an elaborate plan which they expected would bring about important results in their favor These letters set forth that the associ- ation must be free from erltanglements with any particular political party, but must select for support such men as were most friendly to the interests ot the carriers. The correspondence shows that Representative ovepstreet, of Indi- ana, was a special target of attack by the carriers because he refused to give them any pledges as chairman of the House Committee on Postotfices.
 ! If the rural letter carriers scheme hadn't been ripped in the bud perhap, | they might have ultimately been able to rule the country. But they were tot leager, too smart, or something, and sc they have had to find out that thererar, other pebbles on the beach.

They do say that civilization is only skin deep anyway. and there Is plenty of evidence that it is hard to get 1t that deep. For instance. it appears that our benevolent and benefcent efforts to civiIize some of our little brown broth CTS in the Philippines are not working just as we would like to have them. In General Woods annual report as conn mander of the department of Mindanao in the Philippines he strongly urges that the natives who have been enlisted as scouts should be allowed to go bare footed. wear as little clothing as they like and be furnished twelve cents a day each with which to procure their own food. He reports that the Ameri- can shoes have crippled their feet, and that too much food and clothing are making them fat and lazy. On a diet of fish and rice and without American clothing, they could outdo the Ameri- cans on march. but now they are eas. fly left behind.
 Of course United States civilization is superior to the Philippine notions, but if we can't make it look so in scouting we shall have to go slow on it fol awhile.

The St. Louis fair is over. but We are not without fair talk. Next year the Lewis and Clark fair will be held at Portland, Oregon. and 1t is going to be quite a fair. one method that has been suggested to draw visitors from Oregon and washington is to establish camp ing-ground where farmers and their families may pitch their tents and do the fair without paying tribute to. the hotels. They are figuring on attend ance just as they did before the St. Louis fair. The attendance expert says: Let us take into account that the country tributary to Portland may be conservatively estimated as having 100000 people within an area of 100 miles; within 200 miles are SO0,oO0; with in 300 miles 100000; within 800 miles, 1,sOO,OOO; within 1000 miles. 5.OOO,OOO. While. these figures look big to people living on the Coast, when compared with the SOOO0.0OO inhabitants living within 300 miles of St. Louis. they are small. The 1,o0O-mile line out of Port land swings one-third of the distance to New York on the east, into Mexico on the south, well into Alaska on the north, and in the west far out into the Pacific Ocean. No other exposition ever held, with the exception of the San Francisco Midwinter Fair of 1894, has had so small a population to draw upon for admissions. The paid ad- missions at San Francisco. which were 1,S15o22, serve as fair index of what Portland may expect next year. It is quite likely that Portland's attendance will be found to average about 10000 per day or a total of 1.S7O,OoO for the period of the exposition.
 Here's hoping that the Lewis and Clark fair will be a success. It has reason for being, and that is more than some fairs have had.
