It is said that in the St. Louis war there is a Joan of Arc who rides on tv mule and sings songs which ahe herself compos s. That may account in some part for the rioting and bloodshed. It is believed that as soon as Richard CToker gets homo he will begirt a process of weeding out of Tammany Hall ail of those members of that organization who have been mixed up with the ice trust. An American cocktail was sold In I*on don recently, at the opening of the Nation al bazar, for the record price of $425.

Just now he is said to be at the apex of royal favor, the Dowager Em press having conferred the highest honors In her gift upon him. If he is up high, he will only fall the further when It pleases the whim of the dowager to kick the stool from under him. The old man already had several experiences of the kind, and is probably a little tired of the falls and bumps, but it seems there ia no tutemotive* for him. “Tiny Tim" Woodruff %ji New York i the hist v*ce presidential candidate on the ground for the convention in PhlJadel- lie has already established head quarters. where his beautiful waisuom# are perpwuady on exhibition.

It Is now' well under [ stood that the Dowager Empress, who i.- the real power in the empire, is in sym pathy with the Boxer movement. Sh wants the foreigners driven out of China, and nine-tenths of the Chinese agree with her. But it will not bo on easy matter to drive the foreign element out. The Pow ers, which have, a foothold there, Intend to remain. They are ready to use force to hold oti to what they have. They ire considering the question of the advisabil ity of doing more than that. The young Emperor of China, who is virtually a pris oner in his palace, has Invited the Powers to establish a protectorate over the em pire. This irfvitation will not change their policy in respect to China in the because they do not regard the Emperor as being of any importance. If they decide that their interests re quire them to take possession of China the wishes of the Emperor In the matter will not receive much, if any, considera tion from them. They will do what they regard ns the best thing for their own interests. The resistance of China would not be very great. It is believed th.it 100,000 wen equipped and thoroughly disciplined sol diers could overrun the whole country, not withstanding the fact that its population is believed to be 400,000,000. But the Chinese would not be conquered if their country should be overrun and a European garrison should occupy every town. The resistance they would offer would be of‘such a character that an army of a million Europeans' could not v;I oily conquer them in a hundred years. They would not organize armies aiid fight great battles, because they do not know how, and they lack leaders, but they would persistently but quietly resist every effort to introduce a different civilization. Against the beliefs and prejudices of such a vast population it would be difficult to make any headway. The chief protection of China against dismemberment is the impossibility of ihe Powers of Europe agreeing among themselves upon a policy. They are jeal ous of each other, and although they arc acting in harmony now' In the effort to check the Boxer movement, they would le fighting each other in a short time if steps should bo token looking to a division of the empire among the. commercial na t lons. Just what will be the outcome of the present troubles of the empire it is impossible to predict with any degree of certainty. It is within the bounds of prob- \ ability that a half dozen of the Powers ; will be at war with each other on Chinese territory within a year. It is a source of satisfaction that the United Suites are not making any alliances for the purpose of suppressing disturbances in China. They are acting independently, but appar ently, energetically, for the protection of American interests. \\ I XLOOKED-FOH PROTEST. The protest of the business men and property owners of Cuba again* t oo much haste in turning the island over 10 Cie Cubans must have taken that ehnxnt o r the Cuban population that is dim ting for immediate independence eomewiiat by surprise. The thinking men cf the Island fear that if those who are n w in favor with the masses wore to b given control of public affairs, there would be sad time* for Cuba, ami there are reasons for ihis.k ing that they are right. From a 1 ac counts they are politicians who are in politics for all they can make out of it. If they had the making of a consti' lion and the laws they would create a public debt at the outset that would boa heavy burden on the people for a hundred y*. a-s and perhaps for a longer period. Those who have something at stake would like the Unit* and States to remain in control until the people have bad time o consider the situation carefully ard dec Id what is best for them. Asa matter of fact they would like the i.-i.ind annexed to this country, but they understand that annexation is hardly likely to be popala unul the Cubans have had a taste of eelf-gca'erninent. There are likely to be troublous times in Cuba before a liberal and stable gov ernment Is established there. If the Uni ted States were to withdraw from the is land now there would Ijc revolutions and anarchy, fora while at leas*. There would be a worse state of affairs than ti ere j ever wgs under Spanish rule. It is true that order might Ire brought out of chaos j in time, but not until the island had been ; given a setback from which it take it years to recover. But unless the United States make some show of bringing their military oc cupation to a close there will be disturb ances probably that will require interfer ence by the military force. The United States would, of course, check them quick ly, and they would not he very gent! in doing it. That is why the property owning class end th business men war. the Uni ted States to sro very flow in p-epudig to turn the island over to the Cubans. t’ongrvss ought o have given aome indi cation as to th* time our occupation of the island would erase. If it had and no tha* the politicians who are anxious to get the office* would have much l-.s excuse lor clamoring for immediate Independence. Dr. Paul Gibler, head of the Pasteur In stitute in New York, who was killed bv a fall from a carriage the other day, was a remarkable man in many ways. Asa fri.ni of anl co-worker with Pasteur, he was a leading bacteriologist, besides which he was an expert on hypnotism and psychic experiment. Some time ago he Seated a ! considerable stir by announcing that he had‘absolute scientific proof of the im mortality of the soul. He w rote a paper on the subject explaining his theory, which was In substance, that through hypnotism I and hvpno-magnet ism ail needed proofs ; respecting immortality could bo gathered, and that they would prove conclusively tive contention.

NO ABANDONMENT OF AN Y ISSUE. ; The statement made by Senator Joncn in Chicago on Monday, that he will not endeavor to persuade Mr. Bryen to drop 1 the 16 to 1 idea, .and that there will be no abandonment of any issue that is in the Chicago platform-, ought to be suffi cient to set at rest the many rumors pub lished in the Western papers, that the Democratic party has practically decided jto drop silver. It looks very much as if the Republican* were more anxious than the Democrats to have the silver issue kept out of the campaign, because the Rc ; publican paper* are made the means of spreading the rumors that the Democrats I have become satisfied that they cannot win with the 16 to 1 idea in their piat ! form. It is probable that an effort will be made to keep tne silver issue in the background, at Kansas City. The action of the Dem ocrats of Maryland, New York and In diana, in their state conventions, indicates as much, but ns yet there are no sign:- that it would be successful. Mr Bryan wl.l be consulted about (he matter and his advice will be followed. He has givcti no intimation of a willingness to make the silver question less prominent than it was in 18SG. In some of the Chicago papers Senator Hanna is quoted as saying that he. has no doubt*that the Democratic leaders have practi ally agreed that silver must be abandoned, and that they will get the consent of Mr. Bryan to virtually 'elimi nate it from the platform. Senator Hun i na. however, is not in the confidence of I the Democratic leaders. He has no means jof knowing what their plans are. What he ways about the plans and purposes of (he Democrats therefore does not count for much. Senator Jones, (he chairman of the Dem ocratic National Committee, is in a posi tion to know' what the leaders of bis par ty intend to do in the matter of a plat form, and, as already stated, he declares that no Issue of the Chicago platform will be abandoned. It is about certain there fore, that the silver issue will figure prom inently in the Kansas City platform. Ff/Oft II) \ Sl >i : \ ITI.KS. , A writer in the New York Pre-s has the t following to say about the pineapples ef : fered for sale in that city: The pineapples that reach New Yoik are pulled three weeks before they ate rip and permitted to arrive at an edible state in dark cellars. Such fruit >hcu and be con demned by the Board of Health. But our >ard of Health? Ah! The pine is .‘,e :. i v * when properly served fresh from th- gar den. Its juice will cure nearly any t r>at trouble and give strength to the lungs. ! But the alleged pines we get < re enough ! to si* ken a dog. They are loathe v or . j malodorous. It is evident ihet the writer of the fore ; going has reference to pineapples import i *>l from Cuba He do ? not know any thing about th’e pineapples sent to the New York marke: from Florida. Comparative ly few Florida pines peach that market | because the Fieri .ia crop is as yet small. •; hut i: is increasing all the time, and in ■ the course of a very few years will be ' iro- enough :o make ir. impression m that city. Th? Florida frui is exceptionally fine and it -ring? high prices. I: is pretty nearly, ii rot wholly, ripe, wh* n it D shipped, and hence, when it reaches New York it is ready for the table, it dees not have to be kept in a dark cellar for wo or three weeks in order that it mey ripen. The pric.-s obtained for the Florida pines tire so high that the fruit will bear ship ment by fast freight or by express. Th* r fore it is in New' York within a couple . of days from its shipment. The prospect is that ihe raising of pineapples will le ome a great and profitable occupation in Florida. COTTON PLANTERS ORGANIZING. Mr. Harvie Jordan, of Monticello, Ga., president of the Georgia Cotton Growers’ Protective Association, has gone to work vigorously to organize sub-organizations lin every cotton-growing county in the state. A constitution and by-laws for such organizations have been prepared, and copies of them have been widely scattered. It is well understood what the purpose of this association is. It was stated in all of the papers of the state at the time it was formed at Macon. The cotton growers believe that by marketing their cotton judiciously they will be able to get a very much better price for it. They have gone over thfir plans very thor oughly. and they believe they are about as complete as they can be made. It is undoubtedly true that in the early part of the season cotton is thrown on ! the market in a volume that has a ten- I deucy to break down Us price. Bo much ! cotton coming to market In a short time given the impression that the crop is a large one. As soon as the spinners get thin impression they begin to scheme to set cotton at a lower price. By holding back their orders they affect the mar ket injuriously. With the help of the bankers and mer chants the cotton growers expect, by means of their organization, to market Guir crop in such a way that at no time wilt the supply greatly exceed the de mand. The cotton will be held back at ; the farms and in warehouses until there is a demand for it at a price that will yield the growers a fair profit. Another thing the association will do is this: It will gather facts respecting the crop, so that -it will not be possible for speculators to mislead the country as to what the actual condition of the crop Is. Heretofore the European spinners, through their agents, have endeavored to bring down the price of cotton in the early part of the season, by sending out re ports, when there was a favorable oppor tunity for doing so, that the crop was a very large one. The association will get its reports through the ginners and from the secretaries of its sub-organizations. In that way its statistics will, in all probability, be reliable. The outlook for the success of the association is promis ing. Miss Helen Gould spent last Sunday In j Louisville. It was understood that she ( would attend service nt a certain church. The church was crowded, and the pastor preached an eloquent sermon, in which 1 he stated what good thing u gift of $1,000,000 lo an educational institution in Kentucky would be. Hut the curious peo ple did not see Miss Gould, nor did she hear the preacher’s suggestion. 6h? attended services elsewhere. The debt of t he city of Uhic tgo is st ite 1 ito be beyond the legal limit by more than $15,000,000. According to th? assessment for IK*3, the constltut'onal limit of the city debt is a little more than $17,- 330.000, while the debt now actually in more than $.)2,u00,000. Presumably the Chi cago aldermen and the contractors have , been having u good time in the city’s i grainery. The Republicans are beginning o turn their attention towards Roosevelt again as their candidate for Vice President. It would £>t be surprising if. after all, he should be the nomine**. The talk of Ad miral Dewey for Vi- *- President on the Democratic ticket, appears to have scared them. They don’t care anything about Roosevelt of course. It is his popularity that they want to make use of. To get the benefit of that in ihit campaign, they would doubtless promise him anything. But would the> keep their promise? Roosevelt knows what the political prom ises of politicians are worth. lie is a l>olitician himself. The statement of Senator Platt of New i York respecting his intention of serving | out his term in the Senate and then re | tiring from politics, was called out by the | publication of a report to the effect that j his health was not as good as it might be, | and that his age—he is upwards of sev enty—was beginning to tel! on his strength. The Senator’s stdi-nnent that he will re main in the harness for at least three ‘ years longer will probably have a quiel ! ir.g effect upon his lieutenants, who were thrown into a flurry by the publication of the story. Gen. Lacret wants a Cuban- navy. He thinks it ought to be composed of about fexty vessels, and that the formation of ir, under Cuban officers, ought to*be com menced r ght tiw. Lis year a similar proposition was laid before the United States authorities, but was rejected. Gen. Wood is opposed to it now, so the Cuban navy will have to wait. It is worthy of note that the work which the proposed navy of sixty vessels would have to per form. is now being done by twelve small revenue cutters of rhe United States. Mark Twain says *hat he has wri'tea 415 dramas, but that he is not gifted with that *'God-given ta>m cf working hem *ff on managers.” therefore he has never had the felicity of seeing one of them pro duced.

He was urged to adept this course, and when he replied that he had not enough money for the purpose a committee of the leading citi zens gave him a purse of £I,COO, asking him to accept it to study medicine, or to apply to any o' he r purp< se he chose.

Wu Ting Fong, the Chinese minister, ia not only an accomplished scholar, from an American or European standpoint, but a keen lover of sports, a* well, says the New York World. He found his flowing "Chinese robes not quite consistent with dignity and the man agement of the bicycle, but ip the lUto mobile they were not the least hindrance. Indeed, he adds a splendid bit tf odor to the panorama along Washington's boule vards when he goes out for & spin in his automobile. Mr. Wu has also visited the golf link* at Washington, but no one has been able to coax him to play. The reason f>r his refusal shows how exceedingly are his powers of ‘observation. He has heard golflacs excuse tepped drive , foozled brassy strokes, and missed ma hie pitches by explaining that their flu te Ing handkerchiefs or scarf-ends "to k their eyes off the ball.” As Mr. Wu's robes form one gorgeous expanse of fluttering silk he soon* saw that golfing and remaining clothed wero out of the question ter him.

Thank you. Thomas. Good-night!” A Truthful AAeiltling Report. Willie Shortlike and Annie Bloomers were married at the church last evening, says the Indianapolis News. The church was very prettily decorated with flowers and potted plants, borrowed promiscuous ly from over town from people who didn’t want to lend them. The decorating was done under protest by some of the mem bers of the church who w-ere asked to do so by the bride and couldn’t well refuse. The ladiea are of the opinion that if the couple were so bent on having a stylish W’-lding they should have been willing to have paid someone to chase all over the for a day gutting flowers together and 4hen taking them home again. The bride wore a handsome Silverstein gown (made at home), and the groom was decked out in a ten-dollar hand-me-down suit. The ushers wore cutaway coats bor rowed for the occasion. Sallie Potts was maid of honor, end the consensus of opin ion was that she was two to one better than the bride. The young douple took the morning train for St. Louis, where they will spend more money in a few days than Willie can earn in three months. Willie says that, now he’s married, he’s going to settle down. Some of our mer chants thirjjr it wefrid be beftter had he set tled up first. The groom gets a salary of L’T a month, which is about the allowance Annie has been used to for pin money. We wish, for Willie’s sake, that the old saying that it takes no more to support two than one wasn’t a lie. The bride sent us shoe box full of a conglomeration of stuff supposed to be cake. If this is a sample of Annie’s cook ing we feel sorry for Willie. Our jani tor’s dog fell heir to the cake, and now he is lying in Ihe cold, cold ground. Bur this wedding is none of our funeral. If Willie and Annie are satisfied we’ve got no kick coming. '‘Riglitmnn’n Girl.” From the Denver Evening Post. We have warbled old Barbara Frletehie’s praise In sonnets and several other ways.
