How the 2-Cent Fare Works
in Nebraska

Topeka, Nay 2O.-It is possible that
before many weeks the travelling pub
lie in Kansas may be enjoying the
pleasure OF q real 2-cent fare law
to a rate Of 2 cents a mile. The pro-
liabilities are that within q short
time s. S Ashbaugh, attorney for the
state board Of railroad commissioners,

such a rate.
If he does this it viii be because Of
Developments in Nebraska Nebraska
passed a 2-cent fare law last winter.
The railroads threatened TO fight il
but did not They have been testing
it and the report has reached Topeka
that they have found II remuneratiVe.
They have found that the passenger
business has increased to such an ex-
tent under the new law that their re-
ceipts are not materially reduced
The conditions in Nebraska are no
more favorable to a 2-cent fare than
they are in Kansas Kansas is more
denseIy populated than is Nebraska
It has no heavier grades and is just
as much entitled TO a 2-cent fare rate
as is Nebraska It is believed by those
who are pushing the thing that the
railroads viii make just as much mon
ey on Of their passenger business in
Kansas under a straight 2-cent fare
law as under the present mOngTel
measure. The increase in travel
would make up the deficit caused by

A curious fact about the eel is that

Corned beef hash, as made by the
late Senator Hanna's cook, was very
popular in Washington several years
ago. When the head waiter of the
senate restaurant wanted hash pre-
pared very carefully he ordered 1t
this way: "One corned beef hash for
Senator Hanna" One day when the
restaurant was doing a heavy bnsi-
ness almost everybody seemed to
want corn beef hash. Corn beef hash
for Senator Hanna had been ordered
Il times. When the next order went
down to the kitchen the chef shouted;
That's Is orders for Senator Hanna!

AN AppeAL LON AFRIcA.
Young Men in the Congo State Ash
for Christian Teachers.

Some young men at Bongandanga in
the Congo State appealed to the Con-
go Balolo missionaries for teacher.
Not long after when the mail arrived
the young men came eagerly inquir-
ing, Are any more teachers coming
to us?" mot yet" was the reply.
"Whiteman, you won't leave us until
Mr.. and Mrs. Ruskin return, or other
teachers come and understand our Ian
guage, win you? May we write let
ter, and will you print it in the pa
per you send to England?"
The following was thereupon writ
ten by the natives without any sugges-
tion or alteration by the missionaries:
"A Letter to the Teachers in Eu-
rope (translation) Listen to these
words We are those who went
astray, but the Lord did not leave us.
He sought US with perseverance and
we heard His call and answer. Now
we are His slaves, no other master at

show us the way to Christ and truth.
behold, we tell you word Of
truth. We had three teachers, one in
Europe, and another has gone to Ikau.
and this one, who stays with us, his
furlough is due, and his works are
many. The works are printing, and

A TEMPERANCE WAVE.
Reform Movement Noted in England,
Germany and America.

The comforting belief that the
world Is growing better, or at least
more temperate. has much to sustain
it. For one thing, there comes from
England, which has been immemorial-
ly a beer-drinking country, the report
that the people of King Edwards
realm are drinking proportionately
less alcoholic liquor than formerly.
Statistics are dry, even when applied
to such a subject as the irrigating
habits of nation; yet they have their
uses, and in this connection they may
be cited to prove the British growth
in temperance. The figures show
that during the last six years, while
the population OF the United Kingdom
Increased 100000, the annual con-
sumption of beer fell off about 2.5O0,-
600 gallons. That is remarkable in
view of the part beer drinking has
played in English life for generations
1t is almost impossible for the read
er Of English literature to conceive
of the average Briton as other than
an imbiber of alcoholic liquors in
some form. The stories of Dickens,
pre-eminently the portrayer Of English
life in all its phases, present the
brandy bottle, the wine glass and the
beer mug at every turn, and no other
writer has SO glorified conviyial
habits. The liquor issue has often
figured in politics. and there is at
least a tradition that one of the Glad
stone cabinets was thrown out Of pow
er because it increased the tax on
the poor mans beer" It looks as
though great change has come. The
falling off in the consumption Of beer
is no less remarkable than EIDE
cline in the use of spirits. the sale Of
which in England is said to have de-
creased about is per cent within the
six years under consideration.
But Great Britain is not the only
country where temperance in drinking
is making headway, says the Troy
Times. Germany. commonly regard
ed as land where Gambrinus has
especially free sway, reports q
diminution in wine and beer drinking,
and not long since statement was
made showing a surprisingly large
number of total abstainers. including
all classes of society, and especially
notable because of the high standing
Of many including in the record. And
while France. where wine flows like
water" has not yet sworn off, an Of
fetal statement shows that beer and
other lighter beverages are being sub
stituted in a remarkable degree foE
the more heady alcoholic drinks. The
"water wagon is getting recruits IL
every direction.

HUNTERS IN AFRICA BECOMING
CONCERNED OVER DECREASE.
Gradual Disappearance Of Wild Prizes
Once Found in Large Numbers
Leads to London Movement for
Establishment Of Preserves.

Loneon.-The gradual disappear
ance Of big game In Africa has stirred
the English authorities to take some
steps toward its preservation, and the
idea Of constituting reservations on
the lines of Yellowstone park in the
United States, has been proposed.
A report that was issued recently
BY the game commission in the Eng
lish possessions In East Africa shows
the remarkable number Of big game
hunters nowadays. as compared with
a few years ago.
Brig. Gen. Swayne. reporting on
the reduction OF game In Somaliland,
says that N one place IN 1891 he es-
timated some 10000 animals. where
now he finds only a dozer at time.
It was not an uncommon thing is
years ago. he says. for hunter to go
and kill couple of lions before break
fast.
The Uganda district, the commits
sion says, nets big game hunters a
revenue Of 100000 every year. Ele-
plants are becoming so scarce In this
district that It is proposed to re-
strict the sale OF COW ivory or tusks
below a certain weight. An effort was
made to train African elephants for
such work a sthe Indian elephants do,
but It was found to be impractlcable
It is a curious fact that the African
elephant has a toncave back and the
Indian animal a convex, the latter be
ing much more easily loaded.
In certain parts Of British East Az
