The indications for Georgia to-day are showers and variable winds, mostly fresh from easterly; and for Eastern Florida, showers, and fresh southeasterly winds. The trusts take great pleasure in mak ing large contributions of the people’s money to the Republican campaign fund. Each presidential candidate is cock-sure of his nomination. Xot, the only trou ble before them is the small matter of getting elected. The South Carolina campaign has opened up in * slow, pokey sort of way— for South Carolina, No candidate has called another a story-teller and there has not been a fist fight on the stump. Possibly if Pension Commissioner Evans bad been less diUgent in applying both the spirit and the letter of the pension laws, he would have received more considerate treatment at the hands of the Republican National Committee. The ideal Republican ticket would be MoKinley and Hanna. Such a ticket would carry its own meaning. There would be no need of a platform. It would stand for protectionism, imperialism, militarism, boesism, monopolies, class legislation and money. The disturbances in China have not yet reached the silk producing and exporting centers.

The torpedo bo}l Winslow will shortly go into commission again, after being laid up nearly two years In the Brooklyn navy yard.

The baseball players arc going to form a labor union, and will probably affiliate with the American Federation of ljabor. Some years ago the players formed a un ion and organized a players’ league; hut the combination was not strong enough to buck against the magnates who control the game. Baden-Powell’s brilliant defense of Maf eking has been rewarded with a meteoric promotion. From colonel he has been made major general, and is now acting lieutenant general. The chances are that the latter rank will be conferred upon him regularly. The best part of It Is that Baden-Powel! deserves It all. Hereafter school teachers In Chicago will be expected to go armed with a physi cian's certificate of robustness. The school board has reached the conclusion that only strong, healthy teachers are wanted. The great fault of the school system of the day, says the hoard, Is the physical weak ness of many of the teachers. Of the 23,740 German emigrants who left the Fatherland last year, 15,016 came to this country end 1,059 went to Brazil, ac cording to the figures of United States Consul Hill at Amsterdam. There has been a great falling off of German emi gration since 1854. In that year the num ber of German emigrants was 120,089. The decrease is said to be due to the indus trial and commercial prosperity of Ger many. The M inn? i -turt r.-' Club of Philadelphia is composed of good Republicans.

Wright, discussing “Why Wages are Lower in the South,” in Les lie’s Weekly, gives three leading reasons which, in his opinion, control. They are legislation, labor unions and sociological conditions. With respect to the first, the South is not hampered by restrictive leg islation to the degree that some parts of the North and West are. Here hours of labor, holidays, etc., are matters between employers and employes which they ar range to suit themselves. In the North such things are fixed by law, and even where the employee Is willing to work twelve or more hours he is not permitted to do so. Labor unions have not gained a strong foothold in the .South. Particu larly ih this true with respect to the tex tile industries. Statistics show that about three-fourths of all strikes are ordered by labor unions. This ia true of the South as well as the North, but strikes in the South are not numerous. It Is a very rare thing for one to occur in the textile mills. The sociological reasons for lower wages in the South ore mast powerful ones. Mr. Wright says: “These relate to climate, food, clothing, shelter, etc.” Expenses for food, clothing, fuel and shelter are lose in this section than in the North. In so far as the matters of legislation and labor unions are concerned, Mr. Wright believes that the advantages at present enjoyed by the South will prove tomi>orary. Already there ore movements toward the enactment of restrictive legis lation, and the labor unions are gaining a foothold. With the growth of unionism there will be an increased demand for legislation touching labor questions, and the possibilities are that strikes will be of more frequent occurrence. Ahd then wdth respect to the sociological conditions, Mr. Wright thinks that as the textile workers of the South become better edu- , rated they will demand more comforts in and adornments of their homes. They will , want better food, better shelter and a shorter work day. There is, of course, good ground for j the conclusion** reached by Mr. Wright. At the same time, in our opinion, the ad vantage will continue to rest wiih the South, because of the sociological and climatic conditions. Living will continue to he cheaper in the South than In the j North. It will take less to clothe the workers and lesa fuel to keep them warm. Houses will countinue to he cheaper, be cause It Is not and will not be necessary to build them ho thoroughly frostproof. Vegetables and fruits will continue to be cheaper, because they can be produced at less cost here than elsewhere. While it may be true that we shall have, after a time, restrictive legislation and a consid erable increase in unionism, we believe that the advantages of a climate that per mits of working without artificial heat al most throughout the twelve months, and a soil that Is particularly fruitful, are so great that they will Htlll leave the South In a commanding position. The foregoing, of course, has reference to white labor. The black labor will continue to be the cheapest in the United States, for the reason that the black laborer has few wants, and those are easily satisfied. While the black laborer cuts an important figure In the qarries and mines and at other coarse works, he does not do so in the factories, machine shops and other places where finer labor 4s required, nor does It seem likely that he will do bo, at least for a long time to come. TOUCHING THE POSTMASTERS. Another smart Republican has come into notice. His name is Corey. He is from Chicago. He has been consul at Amster dam, Holland, and is now deputy naval officer at the port of New York. If his ambition keeps step with his genius, he may yet be consul general at Paris or London, or financial agent of the postofllce department in one of our island dependen cies. Mr. Corey has found a way to beat the iaw prohibiting the levying of assessments on postmasters for t'ampaign purposes. That is what is causing him to be talked about. His scheme, which is being put into operation, has received warm com mendation from Senator Hanna. That is equivalent to an Indorsement from the Re publican party. The details of the scheme will soon be in the hands of every fourth class postmaster in the country, and the second and first-class postmasters will hear of Mr. Corey and his plan a little later. None of them is to be slighted. Every man bearing a commission from the postofllce department Is on Mr. Co rey's little list. The plan is this: 'Mr. Corey and the pol iticians who are operating with him, have organized the National Commercial and Industrial League. The league Is to pub lish a campaign paper called American Commerce and Industries. Each fourth dlass postmaster is to be sent a package of ten tickets, to be "sold" at 50 cents each. Each ticket entitles the purchaser to membership in the league and a sub scription to the league paper during the term of publication. Postmasters of the higher classes will receive a greater num ber of the tickets, the number be ing graduated according to the pop ulation of their towns. The funds, after the expenses of the league's paper are paid, are to be turned into the Repub lican campaign treasury. E\;ery postmaster receiving a bundle of tickets will be expected to dispose of them. There will be bookkeeping at the head quarters of the league, and those who tail to '‘sell'' their tickets and forward the returns promptly will not be forgot ten. Under the plan, with $T> coming In from each fourth-class postofflee and more from the bigger ones, It Is expected that not less than *2,000,000 will be raised for the campaign fund. The scheme. It is said, clearly and per fectly evades the law. Manifestly genius like that of Mr. Corey ought not, and will not be permitted to languish in the office of deputy naval officer at the port of New York, salary *2.500 per year. The people of the North are beginning to learn from experience what It is to have their women and children assaulted by negro men. The Philadelphia Times of Friday, reports that "Lulu Yost, the 12-year-old daughter of F. H. Yost, was seized yesterday afternoon, less than a square from her home, at Oak Lane, by a burly negro, who Jumped at her from the bushes near the road." The man made hts escape. The people of the neighbor hood were much wrought up. What they would have done to the assailant of the little girl if he had been caught, can only be conjectured. Incidents like the fore going appear to be occurring with in. creasing frequency In the North, and they are bringing the people of that section to a realizing sense of what it means to have Ignoraut and bi utal blacks as their neigh bors. , THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY,’ JUNE 18. 1900. OFFICE HOLDERS TIRNFD DOWN. A feature of the Republican National I Convention is he hostility that is being I displayed by the Republican National Committee to the Republican officeholders in the South. There are present in Phil adelphia contesting delegations from a I number of the Southern states, though he number of Southern contests at this year’s convention is not as great as at previous national conventions. The rea son there are not so many this year is that there is no contest for the nomina tion for President. The only thing, there fore, that is attractive to the average delegate from the South is the federal patronage. The federal officeholders get themselves appointed delegates with the view of hold ing on to their offices if the Republican ticket should be elected. The National Committee does not sympathize apparent ly with the political activity of the of ficeholders, and so, having the opportun ity, it has decided against contesting del egations composed largely of officeholders or men representing officeholders. There is, therefore, a great deal of feel ing among officeholders in the South against those who are managing the con vention. Asa matter* of fact, however, the managers do not seem to care par ticularly what the opinion of the office holders of them is. It really looks as if the Republican leaders were becoming tired of that part of their party which has Its abiding place in the South. The Southern part has a big,lnfluence in Re publican National Conventions, but -it does not furnish a congressman or an electoral vote. It is always clamorous, however, for office. The promptness with which Southern delegations composed of officeholders have been turned down th'.s year by the National Committee seems to indicate that the Republican party is about to adopt anew policy in dealing with Re publicans in the South. The offlcehold ing crowd having failed to accomplish anything for the party, there seems to be a disposition to give others a chance to show what they can do. PROHIBITION Ihi KANSAS. The recent decision of United States Judge Hook for the District of Kansas, that liquor agents have a right to take orders for liquor in that state, calls at tention to the efforts which have been made to enforce the amendment to the state constitution prohibiting the manu facture or sale of liquor. The prohibitory amendment was adopted twenty years ago, and yet liquor is sold openly in many of the towns, and it is possible to get a drink of beer or whisky in any one of them. • A brewery that was in opera tion w'hen the amendment was adopted is still being operated. Every possible way by which the liquor traffic can be lawfully stopped has be’en tried, but without ac complishing the object aimed at. In the counties in which the prohibition senti ment is strong, the law' is fairly well en forced, but where it is weak liquor is openly and freely sold under a system of fines, which amounts to a license, and is so understood. Tho people have cojne to the conclusion that prohibition is a failure. In the towns in which the prohibition law is partly en forced there is a fight all the time between the prohibitionlsls and the liquor ele ment. Asa matter of fact, what Kansas has is local option. There is prohibition in a large degree where the anti-liquor sen timent la strong, and the saloon is run wide open where the liquor sentiment is dominant. The Prohibitionists thought that with a constitutional amendment against the liquor traffic it would be an easy matter to keep liquor out of the state. They have been compelled to admit they were mis taken. Even a state police under the con trol of the Governor has not been sufficient to close the saloon where the majority fa vors liquor. The truth Is the only way to bring about Prohibition is to educate the people against the drink habit. Gradually they are being so edueryled in all parts of the country. There is nowhere near as much drinking of strong liquors as there was half a century ago. If the fight against liquor traffic along local option lines is continued if Is probable that within an other half a century drunkenness will be comparatively rare. It is evident, however, from the? experience of Maine, Kansas and some other states, that the liquor traffic cannot be stopped by statute. THE SILT AN PAYS WHEN HE PLEASES. Admiral Ahmed Pasha, of the Turkish navy, who is in this country for the pur pose of contracting for the building of a warship, is talking in a very interesting way about the claims against the Turkish government which the Sultan refuses to pay. The Admiral was asked If the ship builders of this country were not afraid to take a contract from the Turkish gov ernment for a cruiser, owing to the repu tation of the Sultan for not paying hia debts. The Admiral was somewhat indig nant that such a question should be ask ed him. He declared that the Sultan never refused to pay the honest obligations cf his government. As for the ship-builders of this country, they hud no doubt they would get their money just us fast as they earned it. They would, he said, be given a certain amount when the building of the war vessel was begun, and other payments would be made as the work progressed. The reason the Sulian does not piy the claim which this country has against bis government. amVthe claims which some of the European governments Insist are due them from the Porte, is that ho do a not consider them lawful. He pays the debts he thinks he owes, but not thee which, in his opinion, he does not owe. And he Is prepared, so the Admiral says, to back up his opinion, having a standing army of (>OO,OOO men, armed with Mauser rifles, and being able to call into the field 2,000,000 men. The Admiral wants to know why the Powers don't enforce the collection of their claims if they think they are lawful. It does seem as If there were some force In this Inquiry. It was supposed that this country would send a fleet to collect the *90,000 which, it I* claimed, the Turk ish government owes American mission aries for property destroyed during the Armenian riots, but for some reason or other It hesitates to do so. It thinks prob ably that It Is better to wait awhile end see If the claim cannot lie colleetel with out a warlike demonstration than to go to the expense of sending a fleet to Insist upon payment And the Sultan might net pay the money even If a fleet we e s nt to demand It. In that event other an 1 more serious complications might arise. Headsman Bristow of the postofllce de partment Is getting lot of advertising for , himself out of the Cuban postal muddle. The fact that Hobson is coming home j recalls hat he has never received any re- j ward for his heroic exploit in sinking the Merrimac in the mouth of Santiago harbor. No more splendid daring ever illuminated the pages of history than that of Hobson. It is true that he conducted himself in a somewhat undignified manner shortly af ter he returned home from Cuba, but that does not detract in the least from the brilliancy of his performance in the ser vice of his country, and should not mili tate against his receiving his just reward. It is to be hoped that justice to Hobson will not be longer deferred. On April If* last a decree was published j by the government of Costa Rica announc- J ing the adoption of the gold standard, to be put into effect on Jan. 1 next. Al ready, it is claimed, the difference in ex change between New York and San Jose has been reduced 50 per cent. Judge Willett of Alabama, the discoverer and propagator of the Van Wyck presi dential boom, on an anti-trust platform, is not having much to say these days re specting his favorite candidate. PERSONAL. —Dr. Leo S. Rowe, who has ben ap pointed to the commission to compile an I revise the laws of Porto Rico, is at pres ent assistant professor of political science in the Wharton School of Finance and Economy of the University of Pennsylva nia. He was born in lowa in 1871. re moving to Philadelphia in 1879. In 1880 he was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania. He spent the four succeed ing years studying international law, com parative jurisprudence and similar sub jects in Paris. London. Berlin and Halle, receiving the degree of Ph. D. from the latter university. Dr. Rowe will ask the trustees of the university for a year’s leave of absence to permit him to perform, his new duties as a member of the com mission. —Rear Admiral Louis Kempff, who landed the United States marines at Pe king, was appointed to the Naval Acade my on Sept. 21, 1857, and since that time has passed through many varied experi ences. Admiral Kempff was with the steam frigate Wabash in 1861, assisting in the blockade of the Bouth Atlantic coast. The same year he fought at Port Royal, and the following spring landed a how itzer from the Wabash and assisted in the capture of Fernandina and Jacksonville. For this he was commissioned a lieuten ant. His lieutenant commandership came to him in 1866. after which time he passed to Pacific coast duty. For three years— -1877 to 1880—he was in charge of the navy yard at Mare Island, after which he took command of the Adams for three years, and then returned to Male Island. In De cember. 1898. Secretary Long decided to make Admiral Kempff the commander of the naval station at far away Guam, but prior to his taking charge more import ant work was cut out for him in the Orient, and he now finds himself the com manding naval officer at Peking.

The Pittsburg Post (Dem.) says: "The grand burlesque acts in politics are com mencing, before the curtain has been rung up on the Philadelphia Convention. Think of the Republican National Con vention, on 'he motion of its leading spallsman, Payne, of Wisconsin, voting that the President be requested to in vestigate the action of his officeholders in Alabama, and if they are found guilty of “pernicious activity” in politics, "the Fre.-ident shall lake such action as si g 1 be fer the interests of the country.” There's richness for you! McKinley, who lias sounded the death-knell of the merit system, asked to investigate abuses in the civil service. The fountains of sham and hypocrisy have been let loose." The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) says: “The grotesque struggle between the numerous contesting delegations from the Southern states for admission to the Re publican National Convention has all the fierceness of a fighi beuveen spoilsmen for the federal patronage. From Louisi ana there are three distinct delegations claiming to represenet the only Irue-blue Republican party in that state. From Ala bama rival delegations from every dis tilor app ar. and ihere are more Southern states 10 be heard from. The Republican party has ceased to exist tn the cotton state*, except for the purpose of securing party plund r." The Knoxville Sentinel (Dem.) says: "Senator Chandler isn’t so sure as some of his confreres that his party will win ihis year. He recalls 1810, when there was n condition of prosperity, yet Van Buren lost; of 1848, whin everything appeared smooth sailing for the Democrats, yet Taylor was eleeted—and the Whigs op p sed a successful war, t“o; and 187 ii when stealing was nectssary to prevent Tlid n taking his seat; of 1892. when Harrion apparently had good claims for a second term, when everything was prosperous, yet Cltveland beat him*’ The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says: "If we may judge from the quantity of im portant correspondence' that is raptured every t'me Benor Agulnaldo Is killed that patriot must put In half his time wilting letters to > verybo y in the directory and the other half reading the answer- Slow ly hut -urely Senor Agulnaldo Is a hiev- Ing that place of supremacy In the affec tions of the typewriter manufacturers for m<rly monopolized by Don Valeriano Weyler y Nlcolau, Marquis of Toner,ffe and patentee of the carbon paper style of glorious victory."

The Joke Was on the Doctor. “After enjoying your story about a hus tling doctor, of whom I entirely approve, let me give you one.” This welcome voiunte r rly carrel saddlebags and rode cross country when time was an important consideration, 6 ys the Detroit Free Press. Now he com mands a big city practice, so that he has traveled the right way of the ladder “Last February,” he began, "it was coK.er than blazes. I w nt to my ci’y pa tients in a closed carriage and had a foot stove with me. I was just thawing out for bed one morning at 2 when I heard the clatter of a horse's feet on the as phalt. I knew it was after me. and shiv ered. It was simply a confirmation to step to the door and see a loose-jointed boy, a loose-joint-d horse, and a loose-jointed dog that made the tandem act possible. “I was wanted out the Grand River road. I won't say how far. I went be cause an old friend had sent for me, and I went like a rocket. None of these r d ers. immortalized in song and history, rode any harder. I pushed my way into the house, and there he sat, smoking a P pe, occupying two chairs, and locking iike a model for the picture of health. I had a momentary impulse to brain him. “ ‘Hello, Doc,’ was his salutation. 'S r ry to disturb you. but I got here thlnltin’ and ihinkin’ till I knowed that I wouldn’t g t no sleep till I sent out for educated help.’ “ ‘lt’ll cost you s2s!’ I roared. “ "Funny.

He’s a healthier man to-day than I am.” Relented on the Fnrniture. Henry Rogers, the Standard Oil mag nate of New’ York, is the guardian an gel of the little town of Fairhaven, Mass., says the Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. It was there he was born, and there as a boy he earned his first money carrying new-j>apcTs. To-day Fairhaven boasts of a library and a town hall—gifts outright from him—and on the principal street stands an ideal building, the Rog ers school. This structure is a fulfillment of a pledge made years ago, when Mr. Jtogers was a small, serious-minded w'ho delighted to sit in the company of older people. It was in the grocery store one day that he ventured to remark that he thought Fairhaven ought to have anew school. To those who listened anew school meant increased taxes. “Wall,” drawled out the spokesman, “I think so, foo; why don’t you build one? You might save up for a starter.” There was a chorus of “haws, haws,” ns the small boy slid off the top of the barrel to the floor and then drew himself up, his face red and burning. “I’ll do it,” he said, “and I’ll give some of you people a chance to put the furniture in it when it’s finished ” The episode ended there. The boy grew, went to Pennsylvania, and thepce to Rrooklyn. One day it was announced that Mr. Rogers was going to build a school in Fairhaven. When it was fin ished he went back. On the main street he met the scoffer of his boyhood. “I’m waiting for that fu#niuure,” he said. The man laughed a little sheepishly, but said nothing. “But, never mind.” Mr. Rogers went on, “I guess I’ll put it in myself, but I want you to be on hand to see I have kept my word.” Trouble*! of Their Own. The Prince of Wales, when staying with Lord Rothschild recently, said to his host, according to the Gem: “Your life, Roth schild, may at times be an arduous one; in fact, I know it is, but it is an easy one compared with mine. I long for a pri vate life, and I know that can never be mine. Every look, every gesture, of mine is noticed. If I appear in public without a smile on my face the papers announce that ‘His Royal Highness looks worn and sad, and we fear that revelations of a startling kind may shortly come to light.' If, on the contrary, I appear with a smile, it is given in the papers that “The Prince of Wales looked pleased and happy, and Is in the best of health,’ whereas, per haps, I am feeling extremeley unwell and upset. What sort of clothes I wear, the pattern of them, the color of my ties, whether I shook hands with Mr. So-and- So, or only bowed to him, and the reason why I only bowed—all these little things are noticed and made public. But,” add ed the Prince, slyly, to Lord Rothschild, "whenever I read a paper or a magazine and see my name figuring in it I turn away from it quickly, for I know that were I to read about myself in the papers, I should have to read a lot that I know already, and a lot that I do not want to know.” Princess Charles of Denmark, according to the same periodical, has remarked: “1 sometimes get tired of being "royal,’ es pecially when I am looked at and “won dered' at as though I were one of Mme. Tussaud’s wax works. I often think how glorious it must be to be able to jump on the top of a 'bus, pay my fare like any ordinary person, and have ‘a day out.’ I have never tried to do so yet, but I think I shall some day." "Je liners tie T'Adorer." With the passing of Karl Millocker sank into silence the last of that famed triumvirate of Viennese composers who ra'sed the operetta to a plane of excel lence and brought it to a degree of per ! fection which wen for it the recognition and approval of the entire world, says the Boston Journal. Connected with the premiere of “Beggar Student" :s an incident of tragic charac ter. Millocker was a man of fine appear ance, and approaching, as he was then, a fame more than local, it was in no wise surprising that one day he should re ceive ad, liea ely-perfumed note In which a gushing feminine admirer expressed her admiration for him and begged him to fly with her. He consigned the sweet epistle to the waste-basket and won't on wi'h his composing. Letter followed letter, each more ardent than its nreleeessor, until dually he decided to read no more of them. A few hours bef re the first produc tion of "Beggar Student” he received a postal raid, which read: “Mad one! You prefer empty to blissful love! Success attend your premiere to night! Beware, lest it be disturbed by an unforeseen Incident I" Millocker went to the theater, directed the first act which was received with un bounded enthusiasm.

The German Crown Prince, allhough net so popular with the people as hi* second brother, handsome Prince Eltel Fritz, Is a charming fellow for all that, and as modest as he Is gifted, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. In character he more re sembles his mother than his father, but he hns inherited the keen Intellect and varied talents of the latter along wlih his passion for soldiering A German officer says that when the Prime was a little fellow of 3 or 4 years old he had a way of looking a soldier up and down as if he knew every detail of his uniform from head to foot.

"Well, great-granny tells me, you see," was the reply, "She and I talk about soldiers." ITEMS OF INTEREST. —lndians are making rapid strides in the paths of education. The Chickasaws have five colleges and the Creeks have ten. The Choctaws have no colleges, but have 160 common schools in which the higher branches are taught. The expenses of ed ucating the Indians are borne by the fed eral government. —Japanese clerks are now employed in a considerable number of London stores, and give satisfaction. Manufacturers who have given the Japanese a trial, however, complain that they are wasteful of mare riol and have no idea of the value of ma chinery. They seem to spend all their spare time studying the English language. —For the first time in its history the actual sea levels, mileage, latitudes and longitudes of the Mississippi river are be ing determined. The work is in the hands of the Mississippi River Commission, the board of army and civilian engineers charged with the duty of improving this vase water course. As years of experi ment and more or less defined effort at improvement have not resulted In perma nent good all along, the commission has wisely decided to survey the entire sys tem and triangulate every foot of its course. —Allhough the Paris Exposition is not in commemoration of a national event, the French government deals with it very lib erally. Among the special appropriations are SIOO,OOO additional to the President, to enable him to do the honors to distin guished visitors; from SIO,OOO to $34,000 for the same purpose to each of the cabinet, SBO,OOO to be used in welcoming French associations and $256,000 for extra police service. In the French budget recently adopted it is estimated that the exposition will bring the government increased tax ation amounting to $4,000,000 from rail roads, postoffices, telegraphs, telephones and extra duties on wines, spirits, sugar and tobacco. —lt ip said the concession by the Chi nese government, allowing steamers of the river type to navigate the inland waters of the empire, has proved worthless. A dispatch to the London Times from Shanghai states that the Shanghai cus toms Taotai have refused to permit a British vessel to trade between that city and the Chusan Islands, only a few score miles distant form the mainland. This is only one of many similar refusals, with the result that nearly all of the steamers that were specially built and sent to China for coastwise and interior trade either re main tied to their docks or have been eent back to England by their British owners. —An incident that recently occurred in Austria, in which the principal parties ore the Archduke Frederic and a Hun garian colonel, has had the effect of at tracting general attention to <he question of the enormous fortunes that exiPt in Austria. One thing that became evident hy the episode was that Archduke Fred eric, heir of the old Archduke Albert, is richer than the Emperor. In fact, in point of worldly possessions, Francis Jo seph ranks only third in his empire. The Archduke Frederic is the second. The richest of all is a Rothschild. The death of Baron Hirsch advanced both members of the imperial family one grade. The illustrious philanthropist was not so rich as the head of the # Austrian Rothschilds, but he was far in advance of both im perial millionaires. —‘‘Human nature,” says the Baltimore American, “is the same in a farmer that it is in anyone else. with, perhaps, e lit tle more of the real human nature and less of the artificial. On that account the farmer will always trade wdth those who trouble themselves the most to help him in the disposition of his own agri cultural products. The city which, by the various business ways of the present lime, goes down to the farm and helps prepare the conditions by which that farm will yield better profits, is the city which will win that section’s favor. That is why some regions have attached themselves to a totally alien city. Discerning busi ness men have long since learned that the best way to win the good will of the farm er is to lock hands with him and help him in the problem of developing his affairs.” —One of the most peculiar courts of jus tice in the United Kingdom, says the Golden Penny, is the Beth Din, as it is called, over which Very Rev. Dr. Adler, chief rabbi of England, who completed his (list year on May 30. presides. It is he and once a week ih a building near Lead n hall street, city, and there the Jewi'h !>eople submit their quarrels and cases to the arbitration of Dr. Adler and (wo oth ers. It was in the same way that Moses used to adjudicate upon the differences of the children of Israel! Of course, the dici sions of the Beth Din are not legally bind ing. but all who come before the court are asked to sign form accepting the deci sion of the judges as final. Dr. Adler was born in Hanover, and has been chief rabbi since 1891, when he succeeded h*s father, who had held the position for for ty-six years. He was educated partly in England, however, and was at University School with John Morley and the late Sir Julian Goldsmid, the Jewish millionaire. —Greater New York has trading people who actually appropriate public sidewalks for their own private uses. The New York Times says; '.'People who have occasion to traverse the sidewalks around the Astor House will heartily commend the bureau of encumbrances for taking steps to miti gate the nuisance that has long existed there. But other sidewalks are dally ob structed as much as those have ever been, and whoever chooses to do so can find places where the habitual Infringement of public rights is even more glaring. Take, for Instance, the north side of Beekman street, just east of Nassau. Several whole sale paper dealers do business In that neighborhood, and their big boxes and bundles throughout most of the daylight hours are piled high on both the inner and the outer edge of the narrow walk. Room for a single foot passenger is Indeed usu ally left free, but that Is not enough, and a vast amount of annoyance results. Similar violations of the law occur all through the business districts, and spo radic raids are not what is needed. Such raids, as a matter of fact, often look a lit tle like persecution, since the victims can not see why they should be selected for punishment out of hundreds and thous ands fully as had as themselves. A thor ough enforcement of the ordinances would remove the appearance of unreasonable— or too reasonable—discrimination." —lt has always been known, says the London Mail, that there were valuable archaeological remains in Crete, but as long as the Island was under Turkish rule it had never been possible lo gel per mission to excavate. Immediately, how ever. the island was released from Tu k- Ish rule the various archaeological scaooL approached the Cretan goverrment fo■ permission, and the English school has been one of the first In the field Exca vations were begun In April bv Arthur Evans,representing the Cretan exploration fund, and D. G. Hogarth, the director of the British school at Athens, on Ihe site of the ancient Cnossue. It was here Cat King Minos built the labyrinth as a pq o ri for th Minotaur, the monster ultimate'v slain hy Theseus. Here Mr. Eva ha laid hare a large building belonging to the Mycenaean period, which m-iv he ,'atrd from 1500 to 1000 B. C. The plan ind .-on tents of the building show It to have been a palace like those which Sehliemann dis covered at Mycenae and Ttryue. In one chamber of the palace there have been found a great quantity of clay table's bearing Inscriptions In the very e-ly “Cretan script," a system of writing much older than the Greek alphabet.
