The According to reports
 Standard which come from
 Oil Co. Washington. there is to be one of the greatest trials held in Chicago that has ever come before the federal courts. The Standard Oil Company is the defendant and there are 64OO counts of breaking the Elkins Anti.rebate law The maximum fine for the offense is s20, 1000 and the mini mum fine 5000. so that if only the minimum fine is paid, if conviction is reached, there will be s6, 1000, GOO for the Standard Oil people to pull out of their jeans. If they have to pay sl28.- 900, 0O0, the maximum, it will make them sweat. AS result of this pro- posed action it is said that rebates have practically ceased on the rail- roads. Freight rates are also coming down and the passenger fares are being put down to the two cent limit. The Pennsylvania railroad has an. nounced 8 10 per cent increase in wages to it's employees, commencing December 1. This means that it will increase it's pay to it's help about a million dollars month. Our Presi- dent is also after the land grabbing of the Union Pacific railroad, whereby it got hold of the coal lands in the West. This may mean states prison to some coal thieves. So the reforms go on.
 0ipsy America is having a
 Smith. visit from one of the unique evangelists of Europe whose name is "Gipsy Smith," His first name is given to him because he was born in tent of gipsy parents, and roved the country until IT years of age as gipsy boy. Then he fell under Sankey's influence, was converted and has been working upward ever since. He has been connected with the Salva- tion Army and slum work in East London. He is to be five months in this country visiting the leading cities and holding meetings. Of his style and method of preaching it is said that his speech is ''one of the finest expositions of the possibilities of Anglo-Saxon since John Bright ceased to speak," He has marvellous gift of persuasion and seems to know how to talk to the non churchgoers with great effect.

He has won the Deutsch prize of s2O, ,00( for sailing around the Eiffel tower ir Paris and back to his starting place, g distance of seven or eight ID iles, in { dirigible balloon in half an hour. Nov he is after the Archdeacon prize o1 s1O, ,000 for a flight of five-eighths of g mile in a machine heavier than ar He is using an aeroplane,a as it is called for his experiments. It rests on twt wheels fitted with automatic tire' that run along the ground like an au tomobile. The machine weighs ovel 500 pounds and when the thing gets a good momentum a rudder is turned and up into the air the machine goes and sails along, run by propeller that sticks out behind. A gasoline engine runs the machinery and flying seems nearer than it did. Soon the morning salutation will be, "Come, John, take . morning fly with me"

The OUTLOOK.

Foreign Titles The fad which and prevailed awhile Husbands. ago of our rich
 American girls marrying foreign titles
 and things hardly worth the name of
 man ought to receive serious set
 back from some of the divorce cases
 now in the public view which seek to
 separate these girls from their foreign
 husbands. Anna Gould, who married
 Count Castellane, is one of the victims of this mania. Her count spent eight
 million dollars of her money and, &C., cording to the testimony of the divorce suit, k icked, cuffed and slapped her to boot until the title of Countess was not worth a red cent. Another of the Gould girls married Chinaman and she has sought the divorce court to get rid of her Celestial husband. The Duchess of Marlborough, who was a Vanderbilt, is sick to death of her Duke and Blenheim Castle, and is finding out that Dukes without char acter are not as great as a plain Amer ican Mister with a true heart and loving regard for the woman he led to the altar Millions of good A merican money has gone back to Europe to buy titles and husband. The Govern ment ought to lay a fifty per cent tax on all such money carted out of the country to buy such stuff. Two hun dred million dollars have been wasted in this way.
