it is no worse in the final analysis than conditions which produce cases such as that of the old lady in Kan sas City. For any mother to be driven to suicide because of morbid idea that caring for her is a burden to her children is a disgrace to the whole system of American family govern ment.

The official reports of the city of Des Moines. which is under the com mission form of government, show that the cost of maintaining the city for the past year has been nine dol lars and fifty-s.x cents per capita. The cost of governing cities of the same size, under the old form, ranges in different parts of the country, from faurteen to twenty dollars per capita that is. in places that are honestly governed, while in those of that very large class in which graft flourish es, the cost is still much greater. In addition to this marked reduction in the cost of government the Des Moines records show that an advance has been maze all along the line in city affairs. The lighting service has increased and improved: paving and othe public Improvements have been carried on with better material and better work: an oerhangfng in debtedness of s50,000 has been wiped and better work: an overhanging in the cost of operating the city.

CARING FOR

PARENTS.
 Up ID Kansas City few days ago an old lady was found standing on the bridge across the river, preparing to take the final plunge. An oficer who saw her asked her reasons and was told that she was old, almost helpless, had no means o; support and that she would rather die than be dependent. The officer dis suaded her from her immediate pur- pose, and instead of sending her to either her married son or her mar. ried daughter, either of whom she said were able to care for her, b., to neither of whom she felt she could be a burden, he merely placed her On car and sent her to another part of the city. Later in the day the same hopeless. p.tiable old woman was found in a dying condition from poi son she had taken.
 The case is shocking. It is shock | ing in itself and shocking because 1t is one of many, and there is so much tragedy behind it all. Throughout the country there are countless thou sands of old people who have,by req son of misfortune, ineficiency, lack of training or any of dozen reasons, been unable to accumulate enough to care for them when they are no long CT able to earn their way The major | ity of them have lived good, honest, useful lives and have through much toll and self sacrifice reared family of children. But they do not feel they owe the.r parents anything. Per SC the obligation between parent and child is more from parent to child than from child to parent, for 1t is the parent and not the child who lis responsible for the child's exist ence, and responsibility entails obli- gation. But nevertheless 1t Is a very ldespicable sort of individual who, when he comes to the years of matur- !ity does not realize all the sorrow land sacrifice life has exacted of the parent and therefore feel and express a desire that in whatever measure it
 may be possible that in the declining lyears there may be made up to the
 elder one much that the earlier years
 have lacked.
 A great many children do have this latitude toward their parents. And that all of them do not have, and
 that every parent cannot rest eas, through the declining years with tht
 firm conviction that the children d
 not regard his or her care as bur
 den is very much the fault of the par ients. American children are spoiled

SPEED IN THE AIR.

The success of Oryille Wright n the speed test at Fort Myer con. firmed and completed the endurance test earlier in the week, in which all records of sustained flight were bro ken. In each case a passenger was carried Combined. the two achieve ments g.ve the plucky American brothers the primacy of the air.
 The official record will probably show that ten miles were travelled at a speed of forty-two miles an hour. The conditions were not wholly favor able. The first four miles were un- doubtedly covered in as many min utes.
 In h.s second attempt to cross the English Channel Hubert Latham made in twenty minutes a distance not far short of twenty miles. Bier. iot's successful flight was made in part at a speed approaching sixty miles an hour, says the World.
 Thus at the outset the precarious flight of the first flutterers in heav. ier-than-air machines has achieved the one triumph that might have been predicted of air-travel-speed. The bulk.er Zeppelin ai-ship with it's greater radius of action cannot force the pace beyond the little aeroplanes.
 Comparing the speed of animals using the three clements, we find horses capable of running a mile in one and two-thirds minutes, or at the rate of thirty-six miles an hour. Oi the speed of fish we have little accur ate notion though the marvellous ex pIoits of salmon in swimming up cat aracts indicate great swiftness. But the air is the home of surpassine speed: some of the larger birds. the condors and eagles, are supposed tr be capable of flying ninety or on' hundred miles an hour for consider able periods, or possibly 12o miles al hour in short, sweeping flights.
 Roughly, we may say that steam beat, as the element of resistance il decreased. Yet the German speed O experiments at Zossen by reducinl rail friction to a minimum reached railroad speed above 125 miles al hour. at which rate air-resistance- power will drive a railway trai twice as fast as steaH the only one an aeroplant will mee had seriously to be reckone with. W Il the aeroplants eve surpass the railroad train as the Dir outflies the galloping horse?
 In some circumstances of commo occurrence the aeroplane will certail lv make a speed almost inconceivabl' Assume that a flying machine reacl es a speed of 100 miles an hour. The let a sixty-m.ie gale strike 1t, and

New York Sun.
 Times when the Fifth Avenue Hotel. New York, and the St. Charles. New orleans, were the only hotels in the country daring to charge $3 day. Am lean plan, were recalled by George Thrall, the Detroit screw and boiler manufacturer in the lobby of the Ho- tel Manhattan, New York, Tuesday, Mr. Thrall, who is in his seventy-fourth year and still vigorous, was In the ho- tel business nearly Q quarter of cen- tury, his experience starting in the New Orleans hostelry In 1858.
 T was the youngest clerk" said MT. Thrali. "and the most disagreeable task I had was to deal out candles to the men who had single rooms. They had not introduced. gas into the St. Charles at that time Our rate was s3 day. room and board, and that of the Fifth Avenue, New York, was only S2.60. There was only one hotel in the Unit ed States. the Brevoort, that charged on the European plan.
 T stayed in New Orleans until just before the war broke out. In sight of one of the hotels in which I worked was the old slave market, and I have seen as many as 300 slaves disposed of under the hammer in a day, such a sale realizing almost $500.e0O, New Orleans was so thoroughly French those days that shops had signs in front of them.

 Private Bath 6 Novelty.
 .sMost of our guests were planters and their families and they were law ish with their money. Planters use to bring their slaves. to New Orleans to reward them for good conduct; but we never had negro employees in the house. It would have been necessary to buy them, and as we had 300 em- ployees 1t would have meant an outlay of about 3450, 1000. But we had whites of almost every nationality. Those planters were a temperate lot, but when they drank. they Insisted on the finest vintages. The old Creoles took claret with their breakfast. The priv ate bath was a novelty. We had not more than three or four bathrooms in the St. Charles.
 T went from New orleans in the summer of 1860 to run a hotel in the mountains of Tennessee. Then l was gical moment I got teSgram from chief clerk In the Hotel St. Cloud un- til the spring of 1861, when excitement began to run so high that cast my eye Northward Just at the psycholo- Henry Hitchcock saying there was a good opening at Congress Hall.

 Held Prisoner of War.
 'Tn the early part of the var. we had Gems. simon B. Buckner and Lloyd Tilghman in the hotel as prisoners of war. They occupied a parlor and bed room and a soldier was on duty at their door all the time. The officer in charge of them was much concerned about their safety. for when they had arrived a great crowd had followed them from the railway station, under the impression that one of them was General J. c. Breckinridge. against whom feeling was strong in those days, Breckenridge. however. had escaped. As the colonel was so much afraid that the crowd might offer violence to hIs charges, I arranged with the Bos- ton and Albany Railroad people to stop a train at a crossing three milei down the river. and agreed with the colonel to deliver the two generals tc
