DOESN'T o4nn 20 SHUTTER.

When asked to make a statement be- fore the Investigating committee Pro- lessor Richards wrote: "I regret that any statement that I might make would necessarily lack so much in force be- cause of my inability to support it by direct evidence that 1t would be better not to make such statement at all."
 These moderate and sane words are in strong contrast with the wild talk con- cerning police matters that many have indulged in. Some will find 1t difficult to understand why Professor Richards, who certainly has cause, if anybody has, to feel that police work Is not well done. is not willing to join in the some what general howl, but he evidently doesn't care to talk without saying any, thing, or to say anything against any, body that he can't support with evil dence. If this just and decent attitude were more prevalent in this community there would be less trouble, and when there was trouble it wouldn't be so long-drawn out as 1t sometimes is.

Dowie Has Extensive New York Of-

 Ensconced in comfortable rooms in a modern uptown office building are the new quarters of John Alexander Dow ie's agents in this city. For three years they have occupied an office at 4SS Broadway. and executed orders for the lace of Zion City; but in January the businetss had grown to such propor- tions that they moved to the present quarters and began paying nearly three times as much rent. As fast as the business expands. they expect to take in more rooms.
 And the business is in fine condi- tion, ''said one of the Dowie understu- dies one day this week. and of course. this is separate and distinct from the religious end" One by one the various other money-making schemes of Zion were laid before New Workers through it; and now the merchant may buy crackers and candy. or the investor may put his money into Zion securities or into shares in any one of a dozen diff ferent industries which Dowie has built NP III HID 1A4AllOiS IAIg- OdlcoillCA dAC constantly at work outside selling the goods.

high, steep banks. gay with Robins plantain. and then it dipped down into
 hollow, where, in the wet land on either side, grew myriads of purple
 iris. Now and then in some spot more
 wet than the nest, a little pond which
 would appear, its stagnant water made
 interesting by the reflection of a beauti-
 fully elouded sky and dotting of yell
 low water lilies.
 Suddenly, the stiffness of the morning was broken by the yeIp of dog, and, looking over the fence. I saw big gray Iweodchuck tearing through the grass toward stone wall. with a fox terrier
 in hot pursuit. The woodchuck won the race, and with one terrific whistle, disappeared among the friendly stones. The terrier. an instant too late, was greatly excited, snif1ng at the hole where the chuck had vanished, and dancing about and yapping in his eagerness. Once or twice he looked at me and wagged his tail, perhaps with
 an impression that I might pull out a stone or two and let him settle his diffi- culutieS with his foe. But didn't take the hint. and left him to enjoy the odor of woodchuck at a safe distance.
 Birds were everywhere, and in good variety. About a little cottage near the roadside. a pair of yellow warblers were fitting, and from their actions suspect that they had a nest in clump of elderberry bushes in corner of the
 garden. Several times I saw chimney swifts drop down the chimneys of de- serted houses, and in and out of the bel fry of an old church, troop of barn
 swallows flew. crying Kitty, Kitty" as they came and went. And once as
 passed well-appointed cottage I saw newly-made barn swallows nest, plastered to a slight projection of the woodwork on the under side of the piazza. Never did hear so many song sparrows singing in so short time, and
 every few minutes I heard the call of cedars waxings. as small fiocks passed overhead Chipping sparows, too, sang with an ear-nestness worthy of better performance. and the vigorous preaching" of the red-eyed vireo was almost incessant. One of the most beautiful sights os the day was field of wildcarriots in bloom with a flock of goldflnches flying low above it. One male. in gorgeous yellow and black plumage dropped out and alighting on one of the lace-like flowers, bore it to the ground under his weight. Both cat birds and brown thrashers were nu- merous. and in full song; the former sweet and apparently the more earnest; the latter brilliant but seemingly more affected. Crows were to be seen oc- casionally, walking about in the grass, and once I saw red-shouldered hawk and heard his wild cry as he wheeled above the tree tops at distance.
 Toward evening came to some woodland where I heard the black throated green warbler. the ovenbird and the warbling vireo, and where saw the flicker go bounding off through the trees. And as the night fell, and sat upon high bank overlooking a val- ley, the voice of a whip-poor-Will burst from the gathering mist beneath me. and for a long time sat and listened to the weird call as it rose and fell, as the mysterious bird passed from point to point on business of his own.

VH4r RUssTA W0UID LIKE.

The view of Japan which Russia
 would like to have Europe take was ex- pounded in London the other evening before the Central Asian Society by NJ. de Wesselitsky. of the Novoe Vremya. He dwelt at considerable length upon the way in which Japan had secured a
 moral sway over the whole of China and was making her influence felt in British India, Persia, French Indo-Chi- na, the Philippines and the Malay Islands. and even Turkey. They had, he said, the assurances of Japanese statesmen that Japan had cast in her lot with the white people and adopted western ideas. Let them admit that Japan had adopted western ideas and would teach them to China and other Asiatic peoples; what was going to be the consequence of it all? Assuredly. they would find the Europeanized Asi- iatics demanding the application of Eu- ropean ideals to themselves; they would have China. for example, de- Imanding the abolition of the extra-ter- |ritorial European settlements in China, and permission for the free emigration |of Chinese to countries under white rule. In the future it would be very difficult to stop tte flow of emigration first of Japanese and then of Chinese into such countries as Australia. Ger Itainly whatever was now granted to Japan must be granted to China later on, as well as to the Indian subjects of the British empire. It was the great triumph of European civilization to have taught Asiatics their geographical land historical unity. He hoped &he Asiatics might return the service by teaching Europe the same lesson. One of the first steps should be an under standing between Great Britain and Russia. France. owing to her alliance with Russia and her understanding with England, wished nothing better than to bring England and Russia closer together in the defence of Euro pean interests in Asia. Such an ar rangement, he argued, would greatly increase the security of the British pos sessions in India.
 This is plausible. but just now the Russian peril Is apparently more dis liked and feared than the yellow peril.

California asphaltum producers claim that this is an evasion of facts and that. while Eastern petroleum has a parafine base the California oil has an asphalt base. and that 1t has been amply demonstrat- led in the streets and in the country roads throughout the State that the na- tive asphalt makes finer and more en- during pavement than the Bermuda or the Trinidad material.

A COUNTRY ROAD.

1 Yesterday I tramped for many miles lalong a country road. The morning
 was cloudy, but fresh and cool for the
 time of year, and one could stride out
 in comfort. In passing along the main
 street of the village where I had spent
 the night, I noticed number of birds,
 busy with domestic duties. Three pairs
 of orioles were building their gray, Isacklike nests in the yerdant branches lof the elms which arched the road, and Ia bluebird, with a yellow grub in his
 bill. hovered near a bird box nailed in
 an apple tree close to first floor win
 dow. In one neatly-kept garden, with l a lawn on both sides of the path, there were two white poles set up, one in either lawn. From one fiuttered the American flag, while upon the other was perched a well-made martin house, Earound which six or eight stately martins sailed in circle, some of them tsinging their soft liquid song, and at times lighting at what might be termed the piazzas of the miniature dwelling itself. At one of the upper windows of their home, two bright-faced children were eagerly watching the birds, and nudging one another to notice each movement of the handsome swallows. Tn a few minutes I reached the open country. where, for a mile or two, the fragrant daisy fields stretched on either side of the road. From these fields the meadow larks were calling, and the bobolinks, rising and falling, fairly trembled with the energy of their song. By the sides of the roads great masses |of buttercups were abloom taking the place os the dandelions, whose seeds
 were flying in clouds before every gust
 of wind.
 Crossing stone bridge I noticed a
 phoebe sitting on a telegraph wire nearby, and taking the hint I leaned
 over the side to look down upon the
 back of another little fycatcher, as she sat upon her nest, built upon project ing bit of masonry. She could see me, too, and after fidgeting for a moment, she joined her mate on the telegraph wire, where both birds were soon busy pressing their feathers. In the nest were five pure white eggs lying in a little bowl of gray felt, which. in turn, was surrounded by mud and moss. I was still Joking over the side of the bridge, when the rattle of a kingfisher attracted my attention, and up the river came streak of blue which end ed at willow branch stretching far out over the water. The bird had a good- sized fish in his bill, and perhaps be- cause my presence disconnected him, he seemed as though he didn't know what to do with it. But rattling angrily, as a dog might growl on being inter- rupted at meal he dropped from his perch and passed upstream to a more secluded landing place.

DID HE OR DIDN'T HKs

General George B. Williams, now in
 Constantinople. rises to assert that the
 Rev. Dr. Burchard never uttered the famous alliteration in his address to MT.
 Blaine in 1884 at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. He says he was present at the time, heard the address of Burchard land the reply of Blaine. and is ready | to take his solemn oath that the words rum, Romanism and rebellion were Inever uttered by Burchard.' He fur lther writes that short time after Tom Donaldson rushed into the hotel with an extra of the World giving in Ibig, bold type the rum, Romanism and rebellion lie.'
 Interesting, if true. But the Brook Elyn Eagle which ought to know, says lit isn't true. This is what the Eagle Isays: pr. Burchard did utter the words Ito which is attributed the defeat of Blaine, whether justly or not. The facts Iof the case are simple. The proposed Ica1l of clergymen on MT. Blaine was known in the Democratic headquarters las it was to the public. A public func- Etion to which the newspaper represen- |tatives were admitted, the press bureau |of the Democratic National Committee |sent it's stenographer. as it did to all similar affairs, to take a report of the proceedings. Nothing of importance
 was anticipated. The stenographer at tended as matter of routine. On re- turning he had not appreciated that unusual had occurred, and, re-
 porting to superior officer that noth-
 ling of importance had taken place, ap-
 pealed to be relieved of the labor of
 writing out his notes. That officer,
 however, insisted on the writing and
 turning over the manuscript to the head
 of the press bureau, then temporarily
 absent. The head of that bureau was
 the late Colonel John Tracey, a
 humble but acute person, who, on read
 ing the manuscript later, caught the
 phrase and immediately grasped what
 the stenographer had failed to perceive tits relative importance to the exist ing campaign situation. He hurried with his find to Senator German, the chairman of the Executive Committee, who, not failing to perceive it's import ance, gave orders for it's widest circula- tion. Thus it was that the acumen of Tracey and the sagacity of German seized upon what had'been lost through of the stenographer, but for the insistence of a superior officer on adherence to routine. The words were uttered by Burchard and were widely spread under the circumstances thus related.

LOVE AND srArE HoUsr STEPS.


 The old State House on the Green is |now naught but a misty and moonlit memory, but there was time when it was much more. For instance, when it's ample and gleaming steps were good places for counting, and when many of loves young dreams were dreamed there. Love mourned those steps when they were torn down by ruthless and .iconoclastic hands, and though love found other steps he did not find such steps as those. Now, it appears, love has been forced to leave other State House steps. namely, the State Hdnse steps in Montpelier, Yer mont. For years and years the Yer mont steps have been a help to love and an indictment to matrimony, but now it has been decreed by what are called authorities that love shall no longer find resting place there.
 This Is a cold world, but fortunate ly love will find way even if it is driven from the State House steps. Neither the stupidity nor the malice of man can prevail against 1t. Now, as ever. it must and will go on con- quering and to conquer. You may de- prive it of State House steps if you will, but no less sure and certain will it's own steps be.

LINCOLN FOND OF CIRCUIT.
Lawyers and Landlords Were Always
 Glfd to See Him.

Lawyers and Landlords Were Always Glad to See Him. Following the court about on the cir cult was, no doubt, the joy of Lincoln's s life. He was so fond of 1t that he de- lclined a flattering offer to enter a lucra- tive law partnership in Chicago. be- cause, as he contended, it would neces- slate more or less confinement in the office, and therefore, keep him off the circuit.
 Seated in a one horse buggy, behind a sorry looking animal, he would set out from Springfield to be gone for weeks lat stretch. The lawyers, as he drove into each successive place, eagerly an- ticipating new stock of stories, gave him a cordial welcome and the land- lords hailed his coming with delight, for he was one of the most patient and un- complaining of guests.
 If every other fellow" relates one of his colleagues. 'grumbled at the in- different accommodations and scant sare which greeted us at many of the dingy taverns we struck, Lincoln said nothing.''
 
 warrants the observation ht is said on one accastion to have made that he never so completely felt his "own un- worthiness as when he stood fac to face with real, live hotel clerk How he appeared on the circuit may besgleaned from this sketch of him drawn by Hen ry c. Whitney one of his colleagues in central Illinois, who is yet living:
 His hat was brown faded, and the nap usually worn or rubbed off. He wore a short cloak and sometimes a shawl. His coat and vest hung loosely on his giant frame. His trousers were invariably too short. In one hand he carried faded green umbrella with "A Lincoln in large, white cotton or muslin letters, sewed on the inside. The knob was gone from the handle and a piece of cord was usually tied around the midle of the umbrella to keep it from flying open. In the other hand he carried carpetbag, in which were stored few papers he used in court and underclothing enough to last till his return to Springfield ''-Century.
