Negative influence of Rich Men.

From the North American Review.
Sometimes we wonder whether as a peo-
pie we are not becoming unconsciously So
cialistic. Take. as an illustration of the
present tendency the case of one or our
very rich men whose success would have
been the wonder and admiration of the past
generation. He left home as poor boy In
the customary manner, wholly dependent
even for living upon his personal exer-
lions. Good fortune did not come quickly.
He remained comparatively INDECENT for
many years: but. after time, inherited
mental capacity and developed industry and
perseverance wore away the barriers, and
step by step he advanced. until today he is
the active director of the greatest and
most successful business in the world. Fifty
years ago such one would have been
llonored, his opinions needed and his favor
sought. His influence would have been not
only great. but affirmative. as was, for ex-
ample, Peter Cooper's. Now it is restricted
to a class whose chief weakness lies in its
financial strength. and. broadly speaking,
it is wholly negative. In recent years men
occupying similar positions have refrained
from expressing judgment bearing upon
the conduct Of public affairs because of the
apparent unwiSdom of so doing; and, al
though we have known well this particular
man and observed his conduct somewhat
closely. we cannot recall a single utter.
ance from him of the character mentioned
since he achieved his re-emnence We
were surprised. therefore. to note a de-
parture from his lifelong custom the other
day, when, in a newspaper interview, he
frankly espoused the cause of certain po-
litical candidate upon the ground that the
opposing force was menace to the bust
ness interests Of the country. The effect
was quick and inevitable. Those in whose
favor he declared sighed; those of whom
he disapproved exulted. The former dis
creetly minimized. the latter loudly magni-
fed, the significance of the utterance; and
we have no doubt that the consensus of
opinion would be that the one acted wisely
and the other shrewdly. And yet the judg-
ment possesses great value and the per-
sonal interests represented thereby are
quite in common with those of the people
as whole.

Modern Grain Elevator.
Insurance Engineering.

From Insurance Engineering
There has been a revolution in grain
elevator construction in recent years. In
the familiar tall red structure which is
common accessory of the western land
scape the grain bins and machinery were
in the same building.
Nowadays the practice is to put the ma
chinery in a separate building and store
the grain in large tanks connected with the
machinery building by belt conveyors.
There is little doubt that the old-fashioned
wooden grain elevator with all its objec-
tionable features is a thing of the past.
In the modern grain tank of hollow
terra Gotta tile, built circular in shape, the
walls consist of blocks six inches in thick
ness and eight inches in height. furred
on the outside with tiles two inches in
thickness and twelve inches in height (the
Turing tiles overlapping the smaller
blocks. making a wall eight inches in
pairs of steel tension bands running
through the walls at frequent intervals
The steel tension bands are imbedded in
a cement grouting and the outside Turing
is applied with a cement mortar. The
foundation walls and base are built of
concrete.
One of these new elevators has a capacity
of 1000 600 bushels and consists of twenty
four tanks, twenty-four feet in diameter
Qnsde) and 100 feet in height, with a steel
operating house at one end forty-two by
seventy feet, containing all the machinery
for filling and emptying the tanks. There
is nothing In the construction of this plant
to burn. All the machinery is driven by
electricity from an adjacent public gener-
ating station.

WINS Jim CROW" APPEAL.
Falls Chu-ch Case Brings Out New
Points in Law

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, January 12-Several
weeks ago Barbara Pope, colored woman
of Washington. boarded Southern train in
that city for a point near Falls Church.
The conductor directed her to take one of
the cars assigned to colored passengers, but
this she declined to do. The train proceeded
to Falls Church, and on its arrival there
the woman was placed under arrest by
policeman and taken before the mayor who
imposed a fine on the woman for violation
of the Jim Crow law. She was also de-
tanned for nearly twenty-four hours from
reaching her destination by reason of the
arrest.
Counsel for the woman contended that she
was interstate passenger and that she
could not be required to conform to the Vir-
ginia law. The case was taken to the cir
cult court of Fairfax, where the judgment
of the trial court was affirmed. Then an
appeal was taken to the supreme court of
the state When the called yes
terday the attorney general entered a con-
fesson of error for the state and the case
was remanded for trial.
The attorney general says that the law in
the case does not provide for fine on the
part of the offending passengers in such
cases, but hoiis that they can be removed
from the trains. In cases of violations
the street ca"c the offenders are liable to
arrest and fiji imprisonment no in
convenience follows for passenger and the
police can be called on to take charge of
offenders. In cases of railway trains the
company is liable to fine of $500 for not
removing such offending passengers

OPPOSE TUNNEL PLAN.
British Military Experts See Danger
in Channel Tube.

LONDON, January 12.-The extensive
project for tunneling the English channel
which is now awaiting parliamentary ap-
prevail, would appear to have received a
serious setback by the announcement that
the imperial defense committee has decided
the construction of such tunnel to be pref
Judicial to the national security. Inquiries
made by the Associated Press at the head
quarters of the committee failed to secure
confirmation of this announcement, and it
was pointed out that the committee had not
held a meeting recently.
Nevertheless there is a strong drift of
sentiment among the most eminent British
military and naval experts, headed by Field
Marshal Lord Wolseley, which condemns this
project as opening the possibility of con-
tinental invasion On the other hand the
Rothschilds and the great railroads of Eng
land and France are prepared to make
enormous investment of capital for the car
rying out of this project This makes
trouble between strategists and capitalists
and the indications that the former will
create sufficient public apprehension to en-
danger parliamentary approval of the
scheme.

REVISION OF THE LAW
REPORT OF JOINT COMMITTEE
TO THE TWO HOUSES.
Bill Containing a Codifcation of the
Penal Statutes Sub
mitted.

Senator Fulton, in the Senate and Repre-
sentative Moon of Pennsylvania, in the
House, have presented the report of the
joint committee of the two houses embody-
ing it's recommendations on the revision,
and codification of the laws prepared by the
revision commission, which has been At
work on the subject for several years past.
The report is accompanied by the draft of
bill containing a codfication OF tie penal
laws, and it is explained that this will be
followed by other bills covering other sub
divisions of the subject.
The committee sums up it's work on the
penal laws as follows:
'First-It has brought together all stat
utes and parts of statutes relating to the
same subject.
'Second-It has omitted redundant and
obsolete enactmentS.
''Third-It has made such alterations as
seemed necessary to reconcile the contra
dictions, supply the omissions and amend
the imperfections of the original text.
"Fourth-It has proposed and embodied
in the revision such changes in the SUBJ
stance of existing law in our judgment
were necessary and advisable
The committee also makes the following
explanations:
aside from the necessity of introducing
occasional amendments in order to supply
omissions and amend the imperfections of
the original text the committee has been
influenced to insert additional pI DIVISIONS in
number of instances by the following
considerations:
"First-To so enlarge the statute as to
provide against offenses frequently COM
mitted by the employment of devices and
processes until recently unknown, and
hence not prohibited by existing law. Sec
ton AS of the bill, adding to existing law
provision Furnishing the counterfeitng of
government securities by the employment of
photographic processes, is IN illustration of
this purpose.
'Second-To provide Tor the punishment
Of certain offenses which IN the experience
Of the departments have been found to be
of frequent occurrence, but for the punish
ment of which there is at present no stat
ute Section ODD of the bill, making 1t a
penal offense to present n fraudulent claim
for the loss of a registered letter, etc, Is
an illustration of new enactnients under
this head.
''Third-The advantage of assembling I'M
der this title and making their violation
penal certain provisions in existing law
that are now merely directory, the strict
observance Of which is, nevertheless, impor-
tant in the administration of government.
Section 10 of the bill. forfeiting materials
for counterfefting, is an illustration"
Explaining the reason for its failure to
make full report at this SSion of Con-
gress, the committee says:
The permanent laws of the United States
included in this revision comprise nearly
them at one session and In one bill and to
give them that critical consideration which
such important legislation demands would
necessitate prolonged session Of Congress
and would SO interfere with other work as
to be impracticable."

KING HEARS ABRUZZI.
British Royalty at Lecture by the
Arctic Explorer.

LONDON, January 12.-The appearance
tonight of the Duke of Abruzzi before the
Royal Geographical Society was attended
by King Edward and other members of the
royal family as mark of Great Britain's
consideration for the house of Savoy.
The dukes description of his perilous as
cents of unexplored snow peaks in central
Africa brought out an enthusiastic demon
stration from the geographers who consid-
cred these exploits to be of greater value
than the dukes achievement in the polar
regions Up to the time of Commander
Robert E. Peary's last expedition, the Duke
of AbruzZi held the record for farthest
north.
At the conclusion of the dukes lecture
King Edward made an impromptu speech
in which he reviewed the great exploits of
the duke, notably his ascent of Mt st.
Elias and his polar expedition. In con-
clusion his majesty hoped that long life
would be granted the duke to enable him to
continue explorations of such value.

UMBRELLA AND SHOES.
Their Importance in the Eyes of the
Indian Native.

From the Civil and Military Gazette.
India is so vast that different etiquettes
prevail in different districts. We have no
standard etiquette, no standard dress We
mostly copy European etiquette while with
Europeans. Even a Bengal shakes hands
with Bengal. speaks in English for few
minutes and then breaks forth into the YER
nacular! We shake hands with a European
on parting, but by mistake again touch the
hand to the brow in a salaam; so we both
shake hands. sa'aam and do the like; and
no sober minded European ever cared for
the anomaly.
The umbrella is the emblem OF royalty,
the sign of rajah. So natives generally
fold their umbrellas before a rajah and
not before anybody else, however great
II is not II part OF the dress. but a protec-
ton from the rain sun, a necessary ap-
pendage. just like the watch and chain
You might well ask a European to take
on his waterproof coat. A coolie is not
bound TO fold his umbrella when a briga-
dler-general rides past. But mental gen.
orally closes down the umbrella on seeing
his master, whom he considers his king"
But no Indian, however humble, ought to
foid up the umbrella, even before a magis-
trate, because he is neither the master of
the humble passerby nor his superior off,
Ger. nor is he bound to salaam him. But IL
he does, no harm. In word, natives gen.
orally fold the umbrella before a master
or superior officer, and not any other
citizen, however great-apd this is no in
suit.
While going to see a native chief in his
palace the native visitor or official takes
off his shoes II the reception room has
farash and the rajah Is sitting on his mus
mud. But II he is received In the drawing
room, furnished after the European style,
the shoes are allowed. In some states no
natives go to a rajah without a pu-
gree In others the pugree is taken of and
tossed at the feet of rajah.
1t Is ridiculous in European Crom the
Hindu point of view TO order native to
take off his shoes This is what we ask our
priest to do, so that we may touch the
