THE HALL OF FAME BALLOT.

The time is near at hand when a new ballot will be taken by the electors on whom is devolved the duty of select ing names to be inscribed in Miss Helen Gould's Hall of Fame in New York. The list of candidates has been enlarged to admit six Americans. of foreign birth and ten women besides. This last inclusion conveys a doubtful compliment to the sex. The more strong -minded sisters will wish that the contest had been open and that women should be admitted only after a verdict in their favor over all possible masculine competitors. Reserving ten places for women will serve to exclude men to that extent from the competi- ton. The logic of the new plan limps 8 little. If ten places are so reserved why not twenty-five or half the total? How was the number ten arrived at as q good round figure to fix the number of distinguished ladies whose names should adorn the walls of the Hall of Fame?
 The new order allowing Americans of foreign birth to be voted for was agreed on apparently to make a place for Alexander Hamilton. Under the regulations previously in force, Ham, iiton could not be voted for since he was born in the island of Nevis in the West Indies He will now unques- tionably win his place and stand ap- proved before the world. There might have been some misgivings in some quarters when Ambassador Choate the other day spoke to his fellow -benchers of the Temple in London of Hamilton and his companions who framed the Declaration of Independence and framed the Constitution; these doubt CTS of the propriety of such a speech may be treasured by the overwhelming majority Hamilton will receive in the coming ballot. If Hamilton was not The commanding influence his warm- est admirers would have us believe in sffecting the independence of the col pnies and in shaping the Constitution, he unquestionably did take rank among he first in organizing the government and solving the grave financial prob lems with which 1t was at first con- tronted.
 Will Edgar Allan Poe win a place this time? Poe's steadily growing rep- utation Is disturbing to many pious and conventional souls who think he gets his deserts in being relegafed to a footnote of a footnote in one New England history of American Litera- ture. Arnold thought Franklin and Emerson. the two most important names in our literature. The worlds Judgment would hardly approve this finding; rather Poe and Hawthorne would be assigned to these foremost places. But comparisons apart it would be a cause for astonishment if Poe should once again be rejected by Miss Gould's electors.
 Among the new names that appear on the board that will make the selec- ton Is that of William Jennings Bry- an. Will 1t possibly occur to MT. Bry- an to move to save one place in view of possible remote contingencies?

Motor Bus q succcaa.

NOW IOTK IImGS.
 The development of the motor bus in 1t has put a complete stop to the cleo. trifcatfon of street lines built for horse traction or other than electric propul- sion. The experience of one London follows: It owns and operates a line of motor omnibuses, each of which cost $4.o00, carries S4 passengers, travels 700 miles weekly on the average, costs to operate, everything Included, 800, and earns $500 netting an average of $200 per week of profits. This would per annum per bus. If from this a considerable and ample allowance was made for replacement, the divisible profits would seenf to be much better than could be expected from anything In the form of an investment in a stre ct railroad.

Lightninr. Inn. Cnn.eh.

The sudden downpour of rain which usually follows bright flash of light ming has generally been supposed to be the result of the discharge of the cleo tricity. The most advanced weather students now put forward the state ment that the contrary Is the case; in other words, that the sudden increased precipitation causes the lightning flash, instead of the lightning flash causing the sudden increase in rainfall.

 Grover Cleveland is the most sensible of men when he denounces some wom- ems clubs as the destroyers of the home. He might have said as much of some of the mems clubs. too. All sen sible people will admit that women's card clubs and some other social clubs have done much harm in drawing the wife and mother into a whirl of dis sipation disastrous to the home life and often to the honor of the home.

eirds Of Prey Cause Consideration In

then almost entirely dcvoured it.
Shortly afterwards q new exploit was
recorded to their credit. The three
terrible birds threw themselves en- q
magnificent bull. The animal courage
ously defended itself. But Its head
and neck were SO ripped and torn by
blows from the powerful beaks that a
veterinary surgeon was called In to
kill 1t. Finally they attacked . little
girl who happened to be alone on the
mountain. Her terrified cries were.
however. happily heard. and help came

combat between a boy and . powerful
eagle is reported from GsteiE. near
Berne. The lad. wounded on the cheek
and hand. contrived to drive the eagle
against the cliff. dealing 1t blows till
his umbrella broke. As the eagle
made q third attack. the boy drove his
pocketknife into Its eye. when with
loud cries 1t returned swiftly to the
