conviction of more than 20 prisoners.

: WoMEN,s WORK.

Kentucky's Home Coming week
grows. This June will be long re-
membered in the state because of
this event. The idea was suggested
by a young woman. and the whole
state Is already in a movement to
promote its success. The. estimate Is
that 100, 1000 Kentuckians scattered
FAR and near will come to see Us.
Come on. brethren.-Baptist Argus,

The good woman who suggested
this movement deserves well of her
state. I'm this plan there is senti-
ment, there is love of birthplace,
there are old home ties, all uniting
to benefit and bless such return Of
wandering sons and daughters, but
In addition there is p tremendous
power In such plan for the material
and educational advancement of the
state And the woman who set this
movement in operation should find
many worthy followers of her sex in
other good ideas for the material up
building of their state or communi-
ties, in the beautifying OF towns and
cities. in the betterment of the con-
ditions of life.-Southern Magazine.

the custom Of reefng his waistcoat is
such marked concession to fnicky peo-
pie on the speakers part that none be-
lieves he is doing it without a purpose,
and that purpose in the judgment of in
telligent observers can be nothing but
the achievement of the presidency.
J On May there will be a grand re-
ception rendered Speaker Cannon in the
hall Of representatives. He will then
be 70 years young and will appear be-
fore all his admirers clad in frock
coat and wearing a double-breasted
vest closely buttoned. If this does not
convince the sure enough political pro-
phets that the speaker is right in 1t he
will get waistcoat with one of those
rims Of white ruching which only the
man who ushers in church can wear
without feeling that he is trenching
upon woman's garb.
There can be nothing in the age OBJ
lection to J. Cannon when he is young
enough to bear with scheerfulness com
ments upon his style Of dress and
thereupon to 60 and change his mode OF
rigging. The man who did not want
an office and want it bad would cling

them Of impertinent interference in pri
vate affairs. .@@.

with the emphasis OH

consequently In country town-for the
newspaper of a place is the focus Of the
life of the place-such life is to be found
in In Our Town, by William Allen

by Mr.. White which were printed in one

specimens Of hunlor and entertainment.
They are sketches that as pictures Of
American life deserve al permanent place
in literatufe-in American literature, Of
course, and, therefore in. English liter
allure; not because American literature
holds such an important place in Anglo
Saxon literature. but because American
life Is becoming such a. predominating
part Of AngloSaxon life.
AS reading, the sketches hold a high
place. There is htrnor as we'll as infor

Dollar Gas in Minneapolis.

! The reduction made in the price Of
gas by the gaslight company is a nota-
BILE tribute to the growth and stability
Of Minneapolis as city. We. have
reached the dollar-gas status much ear
lier in our municipal history than al
1host any other city of the country
which is served by private concern.
Philadelphia, which is scarcely typical,
lis gas matters having been very dis
honestly handled, is still on the dollar
basis, and New York, with it's immense
consumption, has only recently obtained
the promise of S0-cent gas in the near
future, ? .-,-: -. :.~,..".:
The Minneapolis Gas Light, company
Is entitled to the credit for the :volun-
tary reduction Of the price of gas to 81
and the concession made to- the city,
Notwithstanding the apparent fact that
The reduction came about after negotia.
tions with a committee Of the council.
AS a matter of fact it was given out be-
fore there was any motion introduced in
The council, that reduction was about
to be made by the company and the
councils action embarrassed rather
than facilitated the action which has
been taken. However, no dispute as
to precedence of credit has been per.
United to interfere with the granting OF
this substantial concession to the con
sumers Of gas.

San Francisco. Calamity in the
!, Financial World.

Il A1tho Wall street is still much dis
turbed over. the possibilities Of the San
Francisco calamity, the idea Of an i'm.
mediate money stringency has been
abandoned. The insurance companies
will pay their losses over period Of
probably sixty days, as adjustments are
made, and much of the money will not
leave New York, but will lie there and
be checked against in payment for new
material bought in the east. There is
nothing encouraging from the stock
market standpoint that can be figured
out favorably by the most optimistic
bull, yet the disaster has not seriously
disturbed the financial eenter There is
q belief that the big men stood under
the market when first news came, and
that they will be getting out little
later on. This would mean slow iqui-
dation rather than quick declines.
1t has Been argued that the uphuild-
ingEof the city will SO strain the money
4 resources of the country as to make a
bad situation, but the street is begin
ming now to take another view of it.
Hhe: fear is even expressed that the city
may not be rebuilt on anything like its
former scale. This would be a bear ar.
gument in fact. r. - ~. -
! On the whole it is quite the most I'M.
settled, unprecedented and unsatisfac.
tory thing Wall street has had to figure
bn for many years. The bears used il
TO break prices of securities, and the
bulls used it to advance them later, OF
The talk of rebuilding. Today Wal
Street believes it bear influence in thu
main, but consoles itself with thu
thought that the country will be able tt
take care of all money demands tina
may come and that no immediate
stringency is likely.
