power, with Westinghouse dynamos
Besides the mill machinery of these
companies, American steel is used in
the framework of the steel structures.

LOTTERIES COMMON IN
THE DAYS OF NERO
Prizes Sometimes a House and
Often a Slave

The development of lotteries is inter
esting We find them in the Roman
saturnalia and in the banquets of the
aristocratic Romans, the object in both
cases being amusement Some of the
emperors adopted lotteries on grand
scale. Neros prizes were sometimes a
house, and at others q slave, says the
London Globe. Heliogabalus introduced
the element of abSurdity; one prize
would be, perhaps. golden vase, and
the next six flies. In the sixteenth
century the lottery was adopted In
Italy to encourage the sale of goods
The first recognized lottery in France
was in 1856, and soon it became popu-
lar mode of raising money for state
purposes. In England the earliest sane
toned lottery was for the repair Of
harbors in 1859. Lotteries in England
were finally suppressed in 1926, but by
a blunder in legislation permission was
granted to hold lottery under the first
act of William Nv for Glasgow i'm
provements. The Glasgow lottery, how
ever, did not survive the reign.

Insurgency IS THE
ISSUE in KANSAS
Six Standpat Congressman Will
Have Hard Fight at Pri=

To Aid in Securing the RenOm-

Toured the State

TOPEKA, Kan, July 51.-With the
question of insurgency and talk of a
third party agitating the country, the
primaries of Kansas, the home of MUIR
dock, Madison and Rristow, next Tues
day take on a national interest. There
are eight congressional districts in
Kansas. all represented by republicans
All the present congressman are seek
ing denomination. Six of them avowedlY
are "standpat" republicans. These six
have opposition of an avowedly insur-
gent character. The other two candi-
dates, Victor Murdoch in the eighth
district and Z. H. Madison in the sew
enth, both insurgents, have no opposf-
tion in their own party. 1t is a we'll
defined fight between the regular re-
publicans and the progressive element
Speaker Cannon of the house of rep
resentatives considered the outcome of
1T so important that he came to Kan
sas to make series of speeches.
The speakers defense of his own
policies and denunciation of his oppo-
nents brought Senator Bristow and
Congressman Murdock and Senator A.
B. Cummins of Iowa into the field.
Some say Speaker Cannon's address
merely famed the flames of insurgency,
others that they will prove of great
value to the six regulars who ask in
dorsement.
In the first district c. r. Anthony is
opposed by T. \. McNeill. in the second
Charles F. Scott is opposed by A. G..
Mitchell, in the third P. P. Campbell is
opposed by Arthur Cranston, in the
fourth ]. M. Miller is opposed by +. s
Jackson, in the fifth W. A. Calderhead
is opposed by r. B. Rees. and in the
sixth w. A Reeder is opposed by /. b.
Young and Hays B. White The demo-
Gratis have candidates in all districts
except the first and eighth and the
socialists in the eighth only.
An entire state ticket is to be nomi-
mated. Governor W. r. Stubs (R.) is
seeking nomination upon an avowedly
insurgent platform. r. j. Hopkins has
aliied himself with Stubs as an insur-
gent candidate for lieutenant governor
against ]. w. Creech of -Herington. For
other positions the candidates have
made their campaigns more on their
personal standing than on the question
of insurgency.

was best in the cause to which he gave
his services and the most loyal and
unmurm uring acceptance of the COM

the state OF Virginia should designate

one illustrious for distinguished mill

clares. is only natural and warranted
under the reading of the law.
ATTORNEYS OPINION
Wickersham's opinion Mas called
forth by protests to the president and
from the department of New York
Grand Army of the Republic. In his
opinion, addressed to and approved by
ersham says:
T have read the resolutions adopted
by the department Of New York, Grand
Army of the Republic, at Syracuse on
June %. and the communications OF
Hon James Tanner with respect TO
them. The act Of July >. 1864, referred
10. provides for the creation of suit
able structures and railings in the old
haIl Of the house of representatives for
the reception and the protection OF
statuary. and the statute authorized
the president to invite each and all the
states TO provide and furnish statues
IN marble or bronze, not exceeding two
in number for each state. for deceased
persons who have been citizens thereof
and illustrious for their historic re-
nown or for distinguished civic or mil
itary services, such as each state shall
deem 10 be worthy Of this national
conmemOra tion.
UNITED COUNTRY
II is now - years since the civil
war was closed. Robert z. Lee has
come 10 be generally regarded as typi-
fring not only ali that was best in the
cause 10 which. at the behest of his
native state. he gave his services, but
also the most loyal and unmurmuring
acceptance Of the complete overthrow
OF that cause. That the state of Vir-
ginia should designate him as one illus
trious for distinguished military serv-
ice is therefore natural; that his statue
should be clothed in the confederate
uniform. thus eloquently testifying to
the fact that z ma agnanimous country
has completely forgiven an unsuccess-
ful effort 10 destroy the union and that
that statue should be accepted in the
national statuary hall as the symbol of
the acceptance without misgiving of a
complete surrender and renewed 10y
atty should surely provoke no opposi-
ton.
Therefore. under the existing law. /
am Of the opinion that no objection can
be lawfully made to the placing in
statuary hall of a statue Of Robert z.
Lee, clothed in the confederate uni
form"

10TH CENTURY TRAVEL
FULL OF HARD BEDS
Tourist Was Lucky if He Es-
capped With His Life

1t did not make much difference who
you were In the sixteenth century. If
you Travelled abroad from 'Merrie Eng
land you were sure to be called upon
to endure very considerable discom-
forts when you sought to take vour
ease IN your inn. A writer in the At
lantic Monthly rehearses some of these
drawb backs to essaying the grand tour -
The hotel Of the sixteenth century
did not provide clean sheets. If you
were particular you brought linen of
your own. Sometimes the traveller
slept on table in his clothes to de-
fraud the vermin of their eagerly
awaited prey. In Germany it was
against the rule to have a bed for
ones sole occupation. IF the tourist
did not find a companion for himself
the host chose fors him, and his bed
fellow might be a gentleman or he
might be a carter; all that could safely
be prophesied about him was that when
he came to bed he would be drunk ~
In Saxony the weary traveller dispensed
with bed altogether; he went out
into the stable like Caedmon and lay
down among the cows. and his pillow
was quite likely to be eaten in the
night.
One writer laments his entertainment
at wayside lodging house in Poland:
In the one sleeping room were crammed

secretary. an ambassadors chaplain, an
army captain, dogs, pigs and poultry,
and in the warmest corner by the stove
a sick woman with crying baby. The
complainant slept on a shelf alongside
a bristling assortment CT spurs and
bayonets.
Sir Jerome Horsey at Arensberg in
1850 described the snakes that came
about his bed and board and the hens
that valiantly disputed with them the
occupancy of the premises.
Tire bedroom was indeed scarcely
more private than any other apartment
In Picardy bedrooms were merely par
titioned off, doors and windows lying
open all night with no means of fas-
tening them Sometimes 1T would
have been distinct advantage to be
able TO bar the door against mine host
of the inn. At Stralesund there was
a landlord who, it was declared, had
given the coup de grace to no fewer
than 500 of his guests. Often inn
keepers were In league with robbers,
and sometimes with the captains of

THOUSANDS EAT AT
KINGS WEEKLY FEAST
Menu for Multitude Consists of
Raw Meat and Leaves

The new negus of Abyssinia, like his
predecessors. gives public dinner to
all and sundry of his subjects once a
week, when they may feast to their
hearts content On the three great an

state dignitaries have TO wait until
their lord, after a while, gives the sign
that they also may fall to-
The Abyssinian royal menu consists
of six courses, but they do not vary
much, the chief ingredient of all being
the flesh of fowls The table service is
curious medley of costly. beautiful
gold vessels and broken crockery of
the cheapest kind. The Europeans use
knives and forks, the Abyssinians are
fed by slaves. a strange silence per-
vades the room during the three hours
from 10 a. m. to l p. m, while the feast
is going on. and you hear the distant
sound of the great crowd, waiting i'm
patiently for admittance, and the beat
ing of the drums in honor of the arch
angel Gabriel at the church close by.
The moment the Europeans have end
ed their meal the curtains are drawn
aside and through every door the
stream of natives pours in. There are
so tables, each one in charge of an
overseer and four assistants. and from
5000 to 5000 Abyssinians are in an in
credibly short time engaged in feeding
and talking at the same time at the
top of their voices Each table is
served by eight slaves. who are kept
hard at work supplying the diners with
great Jumps of raw meat, with which
they eat the leaves of a native vege-
table. the anghera. They eat enormous
quantities of both, drinking honey wa
ter, the national beverage, out of gil
gantic horns. AS soon as one crowd Is
satisfied it has to make room for an
other. and all the time the musicians
are doing their utmost on trumpets,
flutes and other instruments to add to
the deafening din. Last of all a cluster
of singers group themselves around
the negus. chanting a hymn in his
praise, of which. however, he can not
possibly hear a single word And so

ROSE GROWING PROVES
PROFITABLE INDUSTRY
BuIgaria's Most FIourishing En-.
terprise Is in Flowers

The valley of Martha in Bulgaria
bears the poetic appellation of the
Valley of Roses" There is something
more than sentiment in rose growing
in Bulgaria. Although 1t is the. most
ancient industry of the state, yet it is
the most flourishing. Statistics show
that during the year 1905 SOIL kilo-
grams OF essence of roses was ex-
ported, and the average price of kilo
of this precious decoction is $50 francs.
or more than f37 per kilo of 2l-5
pounds. The king and queen of Bull
garia were taken. during their visit
to France, to see the roses at Bagatelle.
and this leads a Paris contemporary to
observe that their majesties must have
said inwardly that the gardens were a
bagatelle.' This will cause some to
laugh, no doubt. but they will laugh
at the joker and not at the joke.
