CONTRACT WHEAT UNCHANGED.

Attempt to Change Grade Of Contract
Wheat Abandoned May Be Re-
vived.
Minneapolis Journal: Losing out
by forty-seven votes, the proposition to
change the contract grade of wheat
went to defeat yesterday afternoon at
the Chamber Of Commerce. The ad-
vocates of the change succeeded in
gathering in 225 votes, against 1872 op-
posing it, but as 408 ballots were cast,
and a two-thirds vote is necessary to
effect a change of that nature, 272
votes were needed. This is the third
successive defeat for the advocates of
a change. On ordinary ballots the
measure would have carried before,
but the movers have always been IN
able to overcome the two-third require
ment.
The question now Is dead or only
sleeping, largely according to what the
weather may do for the northwest in
the next two months. If the wheat
crop comes out we'll and carries large
proportion Of No. 1 northern, it is I'M
likely that anything will he heard of
the movement, but should there be a
short crop or a large crop of poor
quality the agitation for change of
grade is almost certain to be revived
in the fall. Duluth recently made her
contract grade of wheat No. 2 northern
instead of No. northern. The effect
of this is uncertain.
The defeat of the measure here Is a
distinct victory for the millers, who
fought the proposition, as against the
elevator men who favored change of
grade.

ry Of the ChesapeRlSe.
The decision to change the name of
the training ship Chesapeake to Sew
ern because Of the bad luck which be-
fell the first ship of the former name
shows that even in an age of enlight-
enment superstition survives among
seamen. The reason assigned is that
the original Chesapeake was ''unlucky"
because of the i'll fortune that befell
her some years before the breaking
out of the second war with Great
Britain and the lowering Of her flag
to the shannon during that war.
While we have no desire to question
the motive in changing the name, we
think it well to remember that, al
though the old frigate' struck her col
Ors twice, there was no dishOnOr in
either ease. In the first instance the
assault upon the Chesapeake was un-
warranted and brought the country to
the verge of war that might never
have occurred but for that incident.
The Chesapeake was alleged TO have
on her four deserters from the British
navy. and the Leopard, in our waters.
followed her and wantonly "blew her
up" in sailors language. and took off
the men forcibly. Impressment was
the evil that brought on the war. and
this was the most arrogant exercise of
the alleged right. 1t turned ont that
there was only one man who could be
claimed by any stretch of technicalities

in that event, for the American com
mander was not prepared to fight and
had no idea that he would be attacked.
He was court martialed more to ap-
pease public sentiment than for any
other cause.
1t is agreed on all sides that the fight
between the Chesapeake and Shannon
was an unequal combat due to one of
those accidents which so often decide
events. At the opening of the fight the
rudder of the Chesapeake was dam
aged, so that she became helpless, most
of her officers We're killed and wound
ed, and the end was never even by the
British claimed to be anything to our
discredit. Lawrence was bold and too
rash and was not provided with a prop

for his rashness, and his dying words.
"Don't give up tie ship" have been
worth since then dozen frigates. We
do not look upon the name as Unlucky,
but rather as significant, but since
sailors must have their pet supersti- |
tions all must acquiesce in the change. |

Great ,Revivnr Of buddhism.

Buddhism, which soon began to exert
a constantly growing influence on

The New Tennis.

Recent years have seen a twofold
revolution in lawn tennis-in its public
life as related to other games and in its
own interior life. Last summer saw it
reach the crest of its popularity Per
haps never, even in the fat years Of
the early nineties, did it know quite
such a thorough and gripping recogni-
tiOn. But step by step with this there
was an inward change that means
more to the future of the game than
any emotional revival, for a theory
of strokes, serves. volleys and returns
is being perfected that makes it a new
game The keynote of this art nouveau
Its vital appeal-is the disguised
stroke and the twist serve.
In the disguised stroke the direction
of the ball is falsified by a sudden
final wrist motion, accompanied by
altered posture in body and legs. And
it is only at the last second also that
the eyes tell the truth about the ball
and where it is to be expected. In dis
guised strokes placing is of course the
great element-a certain speed put into
placed balls. Thus Wren used to lean
over to the right and do a backhand
stroke that ought to have sent the ball
to the left and did send it to the right.

JEWELS AND ENVY.
The Grimes That Are Committed For
the Sake of Diamonds.

The Crimes That Are Committed For
the Sake of Diamonds.
OF course no one objects to women
having a reasonable amount Of jewelry,
what they can wear without ostenta-
tion or any great concern for its safe
ty. Such modest possessions are sane
toned by universal custom, and from
all time jeweled rings and trinkets
have been symbols of love and should
remain so. Besides, there is beauty
in precious stones, just as there is in
other stones not called precious. Wit
ness the opal the most beautiful Of
them ALL But when women value jew
elry neither for its beauty nor its asso-
Citations, but merely for its costliness,
when they wear as much of it as they
can simply to show that they have
been able TO buy that much or make
men buy it for them, when their pleas
ure in having it lies chiefly in the
knowledge that others envy them, then
l say the love of jewels is an evil thing,
based on arrogance and selhshness.
And / cannot see what Justification
any woman who knows of the misery
about her can find for spending half a
million dollars or anything like it on
iewelry!
1t should be noted Furthermore, that
the chief harm of this passion for jew
els is not in the waste of millions in
volved, although that is bad enough,
but in the stirring of envy, in the
prompting of extravaganza, in the urg
ing of dishonesty. If we could know
what crimes have been committed for
the sake of diamonds we should see
that there is some devils hypnotism in
the glittering stones and would have
them all cast into the sea for general
safety. Certain it is that no house
where precious stones abound is free
from evil desires. Servants are tempt
ed; guests are tempted; strangers are
tempted; even intimate friends are
tempted Who has forgotten the story
of those stolen Newport jewels? And

Sable Island Ponies.

Sable island lies about eighty miles
to the eastward of Nova Scotia and
consists of an accumulation of loose
sand, forming a pair of ridges united
at the two ends and inclosing a shallow
lake. Tracts of grass are to be met
with in places as well as pools of fresh
water. These afford sustenance for
troops of wild horses or ponies, de-
scended, it is supposed, from stock
cast ashore from a Spanish wreck
early in the sixteenth century. Twenty
five years ago it was estimated that
the ponies numbered from 500 to 600,
but at present there are not quite 200,
divided into five troops. A recent writer
in the Empire Review comments on the
striking likeness of these wild ponies
to the horses of the Parthenon frieze
and to the now exterminated tarpan Of
Tartary. They also seem to resemble
the wild horses of Mexico, though with
shaggier coats, to meet the conditions
of a rougher climate The writer thinks
that these herds ought to be carefully
guarded to the end that an interesting
equine type may be preserved.

Dangers of Chr nnst.

The popular interest displayed in the
subject Of car sanitation and car venti-
lation by the boards of health Of the
larger cities has evoked some criticism
of the railroad companies for not Civ
ing more attention to matter Of such
vital interest to their passengers. The
laboratory of the Marine hospital sery-
ice has been investigating this subject
for some time. DIR. Walter Wyman,
surgeon general Of the Marine hospital
service, says: Just how much danger
there is Of contagion through vitiated
air in the ordinary day coach now in
use or in the Pullman sleeping and pal
ace cars has not yet been definitely de-
termined, and the matter is still being
investigated. Information collected
points to the state of Texas as having
been the pioneer in this movement, due
doubtless to its excellent railroad com
mission. 1t is held that there is much
danger to the passengers of contracting
contagious diseases from the fine dust
arising from the carpets and upholstery
while the cars are in motion and which
imperfect ventilation compels the pas
