The Boer army must be shaky—
the papers repors “Kruger’s agent
talking.” A bad sign.
The American mules that are
sent to Africa for the use of the
British army are all vaccinated
before shipment.
Kentucky sustains her reputa¬

An Atlanta councilman has in¬

separate cars for whites and blacks
on the street car lines of that city.
A Brooklyn woman is suing for
a divorce on the ground that her
husband wont talk. Maybe the

coupled with the general
standing that the populists will
not put out 'a ticket, constrains
one to wonder if there is a deal
between them.
\TEen~th^^riti8h General, Lora
Kitchener, was ordered to South
Africa to fight the Boers, he refus¬
ed to go unless he was given pei
missiou “to hang any man I
choose.” The permission was
given him, but it is uot reported
that many of the Boers have met
death at his hands.
The New York World says: “It
appears that in South Carolina it
is a violation of law to offer the
people of that state inducements
to leave it. And yet the South
Carolina dispensary law is a con¬
stant inducement to all right
minded citizens to seek au ampler
liberty outside of the state.”
Mention has been made of young
Senator Beveridge’s t w o-h our
speech in the U. S. senate in favor
of the administration’s expansion
policy, It appears now that the
speech was remarkable more for
its length and eloquence than for
its force or argument or statement
of fact. One writer declares that
Hoar said more in his thirty min¬
ute speech in reply.
It has been remarked that re¬
cent experiences have about sick¬
ened this country with live heroes,
and hereafter a man must be dead
in order to set the people afire
with patriotism. Witness the ef¬
forts to give Admiral Schley a
house aud lot, which have failed;
while the $15,000 subscription list
for the family of the dead Gen.
Lawton has grown to exceed $80,
000 .
In the Chinese empire, which
the great European powers are
taking so much pleasure in “civil¬
izing” at the present time, there
are Jaws and customs which other
countries might well pattern after.
One of these is their annual holi
day, falling in February, on
they square up everything and
pay off all their debts. Any cue
not being able to satisfy his cred¬
itors and start the new year with
a clean sheet, is posted as a de¬
faulter and is looked upon with
suspicion by every one. It is a
family disgrace uot to square op
at that time.
A Nsvel Experii nt.
Gov. Stanley, of Kansas, is ex¬
perimenting with a plan of releas¬
ing convicts on conditional par¬
dons, which appears off-hand to
be a good thing. It is to require
of the convict about to lie pardon¬
ed a solemn oath that he will not
drink intoxicating liquor, that he
will keep away from gambling re¬
sorts and other places where he
might get into trouble, that he wi’l
not knowingly violate any law,
that lie will do all he can to find
honest employment and support
those who are dependent upon
him, and that he will report bis
whereabouts and how he is getting
along to the authorities at least
once a month for a given length of
time. The Governor does not
know whether his plan is strictly
legal or not, but he says be likes
the working of it so far, and pro¬
poses to continue it until the
supreme court tells him to stop.
Whether a man’s oath would
deter him from committing crime
when the inclination led him to,
or whether it would incite him to
industry and sobriety, is a ques¬
tion; but a pardon conditional
upon his observance of such an
oath would be a strong incentive
to right living. In some cases
and under certain circumstances
Gov. Stanley’s plau would be a
good thing for the dependant fam¬
ily of the convict, the
himself and the country at large.
Opposed To Bloody Advertising.
Julia Morrisoi James, the actress
who was last week found “not
guilty” of the murder of Actor
Leiden, in Chattanooga, and who
proposes to make capital out of
the tragedy and trial by lecturing
on “The Other Side of Stage Life,”
has found it impossible to secure
a hall ip Chattanooga. The man¬
ager of each auditorium refuses to
permit her upon his stage. Those
people are right, and their action
is on the side of goid morals.
The woman is nothing less thau a
common murderer, turned loose
through the deplorable sympathy
of a dozen men. She planned aud
executed her crime in cold blood
because Leiden was about to have
her dismissed from the company.
She claimed that he had repeatedly
insulted her with propositions,
but her other charges against him
do not substantiate any such con¬
ning intentions. If he had de¬
signed to get into her confidence,
and had made repeated efforts, as
she declares, he would never have
mistreated her as she chaiges in
the next breach. If one statement
is true, the other is unreasonable.
It is probably true that he had
mistreated her, and was deter¬
mined to force her from bis com¬
pany. Jf so, her husband should
have beeu the man to protect her,
if he was not the “pimp” she says
the dead man charged him with
being.
However, since the matter has
ended as it has, the people of
Chattanooga, in which city the
crime was committed, are to be
congratulated upon their determi¬
nation not to crown her as a
heroine, and it is to he hoped that
other cities will frown upon this
species of bloody advertising.
Some few months ago a woman
killed the brother-in-law of the
President at Cautou, 0., and was
acquitted. She, too, proposed to
make money by lecturing, or some¬
thing of the sort. But she has
failod to do it. The American
people do not care for people with
bloody hands.
A Woman'* Fidelity.
Tht most beautiful theme upon
which the poet has ever touched is
that of a woman’s love. It has
beeu compared with the dewdrop
for puity, and found not wanting;
with the gems of the deep for
richness, and it holds its own and
is more lasting. The beautiful
rose in whose bosom the dewdrop
nestles, pales as the noonday’s
sun pours its rays upon it, and in
the evening it withers and dies;
but not so with the love of a
woman. When it takes hold there
it clings.
Second only to it in beauty is
the fidelity of that woman to the
object of her love. Mistreat her,
if oue will, but ft rgiveness is
ready for the asking; betray her
if you dare, but never a word of
complaint. Prominent instances,
are two that occurred in New York
last week. Oue dying of a pistol
shot that could not have been ac¬
cidental, conceal 8 the fatal nature
of her wound from the doctor
until the last, and murmurs with
her closing breath, “He did not
mean to do it.” The other, tes¬
tifying in the General Sessions
Court to her husband’s innocence
of a crime of which there was no
doubt or justification, falls sense¬
less and dies from excitement over
the ordeal she has gone through.
And in each case the death
brings forth to light the secret of
a double martyrdom, of the sacri¬
fice of a woman’s life, willingly
given to shield and save the man
whose life had made a mockery of
the sanctity of marriage and a
degredation of the* name of hus¬
band.
And yet th.ir victims were faith¬
ful even unto death. What is the
secret of woman’s fidelity and of
woman’s sacrifice, of which even
sueh strange instances as these ar«
rather the rule than the exception?
Trusts Anti Combines.
Somebody says that “the only
difference between trusts and com¬
bines is that combines raise the
prices of their products after de¬
claring they are not going to do it,
while trusts simply put up prices
without saying anything about it”
Under the head of trusts, and
foremost of them all is the Stan¬
dard Oil Company, which has beeu
conducting financial and stock
market operations of so vast a
scope that it is in need of a greater
income than the $80,000,000 a
year which it has been paying its
stockholders. How to get it was
easy. John D. Rockefeller simply
issued an order within the fort¬
night that the price of oil must be
raised to consumers three cents
per gallon.
This edict pas simultaneously
published at evtry^oil depot of the
trust in the country. Of course,
tbe price falls on the consumer.
At the time the price of oil was
raised, the agents of the trust in¬
formed the public that the scarcity
of crude oil compelled the move.
They did not, however, call atten¬
tion to tbe fact that the Trust had
a monopolity of crude oil.
The people of the United States
cousume 970,000,000 gallous of oil
every year. The increase of 3
cents a gallon will compel the
people to pay the Standard Oil
Company $29,100,000 mor 3 in 1900
for their oil than they did in 1899.
This means that the income of
the Standard Oil Company will be
nearly doubled. It will be at least
$58,200,000.
During the last two mouths the
price of kerosene oil has been
raised to consumers from two to
four cents per gallon. The retail
price is now from eleven to four¬
teen cents per gallon in the mar¬
kets of the north and east, where
the retailer gets it at ten cents per
gallon. It seems to us of the
south that even that is not ft price
to complain at when the freights
have been making it cost our re¬
tailers from twelve to fourteen
cents and the consumer seventeen
to twenty cents.
Some Big Salaries.
Speaking of big salaries, the biggest
on record was pa hi to George Gould.
For ten years’ work Ills father gave
him $5,000,000. The account went down
as ‘‘for services rendered." That was
at the rate of $500,000 a year.
The highest salary ever paid a rail¬
road president was the $75,000 a year
that went to Sir William C. Van Horn
when he was president of the Cana¬
dian Pacific.—New York Press.
Goins to Bed In India.
Going to bed In India is a very dif¬
ferent process from going to bed at
home. To begin with, it Is a far less
formal process. There Is no shutting
the door, no cutting yourself off from
the outer world, no going up stairs
and finally no getting into bed. You
merely lie down on your bed. which,
with Its bedding. Is so simple as to be
worth describing. The bed is n wooden
frame with webbing laced across it,
and each bed has a thin cotton mat¬
tress. Over this one sheet Is spread,
and two pillows go to each bed. That’s
all!—Scottish American.
It Still Worked.
“No.” she answered coldly. “1 can¬
not marry a man who carries a rabbit’s
foot for luck/’
For a moment he contemplated her
Intense silence, but only for a moment.
“Who,” he exclaimed, “now can
doubt the efficacy of the rabbit’s
after this?"
Then he left her forever, pausing
ly to laugh the wild, mirthless
which was suitable to the
Detroit Journal.
