On July 13 the Republican Notification
Committee will visit President McKinley
Ht Canton to inform him that he has been
selected as the Republican standard bear

Convention did.
In the Indian Territory a woman of
the name of Cantrill, or Cantwell, has
secured a divorce from her husband on
the ground that he had killed twenty
tseven men. and she, therefore, regarded
him as a dangerous man to live with. It
was probably not difficult to convince the
jury of the risk sh* ran.
It now' appears that Senator Foraker’s
designation of Theodore Roosevelt as a
•’locomotive in trousers” was not original.
Somebody said that of Daniel Webster
years and years ago. Foraker ought to
have worked in the automobile in place
of the locomotive, and then those bother
some fellows who do not forget history
would have been forestalled.

Tile Chicago Chronicle appears to be in
excellent humor over the fact that Mayor
Harrison of Chicago and ex-Gov. Altgeld
have hurled the hatchet and are now
smoking th* pipe of peace. It Is probable
that the peace between tlnmeihat bus
been patched up will not he a lasting one.
To be friends with Altgeld one must do
just what lie wants done. Mayor
Ilanlson is a man with a mind of his
own.
The striking strove railway employes of

he very short. Rapid transit and com
fortable seats will appeal so strongly to
ihe travelers that their stand for "prin
ciple” will soon ooze away and vanish.
SOITHKRN COLLEGES.
In commenting on an article in the Chi
ago Times-Herald. in which gifts to the
different colleges of the country for th©
last year were enumerated, the New York
Sun says; “Unless the Southern mill
ion a Ires are of a different breed from that
of their Northern brothers they will tc>t
le able to keep their right hands from
making chet'ks payable to the order of col
lege treasurers. Gifts of more than slot),-
000 to Tennessee colleges are inscribed on
the Times-lieraKTs register. That admir
able school, the University of the South,
got SOB,OOO and ought to have twenty times
as much. Its professors and its publica
tions have made It respected among schol
ars. Gifts of $75,C08 to Virginia colleges
are recorded, but Thomas Jefferson’s ad
mirable university is not among the ben
efteiarles*. The North Uarollna colleges
got $41,500. the South Carolina $46,000 and
so on. Doubtless these figures would be
considerably were the returns full
er.”
All of the Southern colleges are in need
of money. The Sun says that unless
Southern millionaires are different from
the millionaires of the North they will not
be able to restrain themselves from sign
ing che. k* payable to the treasurers of
Southern colleges. Asa matter of fact
Southern millionaires are os yet few' and
far between. We have no doubt that it
there were as nuic'h wealth in the South
as there is in the North Southern col
leges would fare fully as well in the mat
ter of gifts as those of the North. Before
the war of secession more attention was
paid to education in the South than in
tile North. In fact, it is safe to say that
the Southern people pay more for educa
tion now in proiort ion to their wealth than
do the Northern people. In discussing ed
ucation in the South the Northern papers
do not take into account the fact that
the white pvopie of the South have to
provide for the education of 8,(00,000 or
10.000.000 negroes, who #wn very little prop
erly and consequently pay but a small
amount of taxes.
The Southern people are getting ahead
a little now, however, and no doubt in
the course of the next quarter of a cen
tury the South will have a great many
millionaires. When that time come.s the
donations to Southern colleges will lie
muc'h more liberal than they are ut pres
ent. In the meantime, If the millionaires
of the North are anxious only to promote
education, and not to build up some jmrtlo
ular educational institution, they might
turn their attention to the South, li is
certain that there are no more deserving
institutions of karting than the strug
gling colleges of the Southern states. The
results accomplished by them with the
small means at their command are remark
able and are worthy of the highest com
mendation.
YAWNING FOR THE HEALTH.
According to a German professor,
yawning is geod for the health. Nature,
which abhors a vacuum, did not invent
Ihe yawn for nothing. Heretofore to the
majority of persons it has been chiefly
a form of expressien. conveying to the
observer intelligence of weaciness. But
Ihe eminent German doctor declares that
the yawn has positive therapeutic value.
If flexes ihe muscle*, does something or
other with the blood in the brafto, and ex
tends it| beneflts from Ihe aiomach to
the summit of the cranium.
Presumably It will not be very long be
fore we shall have a full-fledged yawn
cure, possibly for Indigestion, throat trou
ble. "that tired feeling,” etc. If wading
through grass that is wel with dew will
cure a whole schedule of aliments, as the
Knelppe curlsts say it will, there does not
seem to be any reason why Ihe yawn
cure should not prove equally effective.
Indeed, It would seem to have more to
commend it than a good many of the failh
cures and absent treatments that have
lately become so popular in some sec
tions.
There will be one good thing about Ihe
yawn cure, when it Anally arrives—it will
be cheap; Any person can go out of an
evening and acquire yawns though to
cure a cancer, provided it is number andf
genuineness that docs the work. All that
would be necessary would be to seek one's
p i bore, and the yawns would be forth
coming. The inventor of the yawn cure
may, Indeed, fix up a schedule of yawn
producers, each to be applied for a cer
tain ailment, something like this: For
sleeplessness, one hour at church where
there is a shallow, dull preacher; for
baldness, one hour in the front row at an
amateur performance; for dizziness, one
hour in the presence of the ten-cent clerk
w’ho goes to the seashore and tries to put
on foriy-dollar lugs-, for palpitation of the
heart, a stroll with the summer girl of
fifteen seasons, who Is not ashamed to
confess that she is twenty-two; for nerv
ousness, observe for an hour the nerve
of the Republicans who claim* they are
going to smash the trusts.
Of course I here might be various
changes and combinations lo suit differ
ent ccmplalnts or to me-t extremely stub
born cases. Asa last resort, there arc the
Congressional Reccrd nnd the New Y’ork
Herald’s political editorials. Should these
fall, the case wculJ be hepdess.
The great strike In Chicago, which vir
tually came to an end a day or two ago.
when the brieklayers and stonemasons
w ithdrew from the Building Trades Coun
cil, was one of the longest on an exten
sive scale that has ever been known In
4hls country. It began last October, thus
making the time of its duration eight
months. During this time approximate
ly 50,000 laborers were In Idleness, in
volving a loss of wages of not less than
$150,000 a day. That there was suffering
by many of the idle men and their fam
ilies for the necessaries of life there can
be no doubt. And when the struggle Is
all over, there is nothing to show for it
but empty cupboards and the burden of
debts. Our civilization will remain far
from complete so long as a means
for preventing ssch disastrous conflicts
between capital nnd labor.
Jt is astonishing what idiocy the com
bination of polities and hot weather will
eometlmes produce. Here Is the chorus
of anew campaign song which is offer-xl
In Illustration of the point:

Hail! Rough Rider. Teddy Roosevelt, the
hero of Ban Juan!

KMI’RIAS THE EVIL GFMIS.
Kang Yu Wei. the Chinese reformer,
upon whose head a price has been set
by the Dowager Empress, has recently
published a book on the situation in his
country as he sees i. To Judge from the
extracts of a translation which have
reached this country, It is not strange
that the Dow’ager Empress would like
to have Kang’s head in a basket, for he
talks straight to the point, uses good
logic, and spares nobody in his criiiclsms
of the government. A wide circulation
of such appeals as Kang makes in his
book would be well calculated to stir tip
even so phlegmatic a people as the Ohi
'ese.
Kang blames the Empress Dowager and
her satellites, whom he calls singly and
qolleetively robbers, villains and traitors,
for all of the Ills which afflict the coun
try, and plainly advocates the assassina
tion of the entire outfit since there seems
to be no other way of getting rid of
them. He recalls that history abounds
with instances in which ambitious and
tyrannl al rulers have been assassinated,
and public opinion approved of the act.
The Dowager, he says, should be got
rid of because she is strangling the em
pire by abolishing reforms instituted or
promised by the young Emperor, and re
turning to ancient ways ill suited to pres
ent-day conditions. Practices which
were good enough several hundred years
ago will not .suffice now. for the reason
that the’ white races have become ag
gressive and are seeking a foothold in
lands for thousands of years peopled by
yellow’ and brown races. By way of fore
casting the fate of China, he calls ntn
tion to India and Egypt and Poland, and
to Russia’s treatment of the Jews. Should
Europe get a foothold In China, he be
lieves the Chinese nation would be de
stroyed. He does not. however, advise the
killing of foreigners in China. He doe-*
not approve the methods of the Boxers.
Kang's idea in that the Chinese must adopt
Western methods, and in that manner fit
themselves to maintain their position aad
defend their country against any possi
ble attack. That is what Japan has
done, nnd that country Is now in a posi
tion of independence and safety. China,
on the other hand, has retrograded, and
its government is no< able to defend it
eelf at home or protect its citizens
abroad. “But who are the government?”
asks Kang. “China has no parliament.
The power Is all vested in one person
• * • one woman w’ho has profligately
and disgracefully clung to the old ways.’’
He w’ants the autocracy abolished and a
• •onstUutional government formed under
the young Emperor. With such reform
he believes it would be possible to “ren
ovate the empire, word off the threatened
slavery and save the race from extermi
nation.” Without reforms, however, “our
race will be destroyed. If our country
should be conquered and its government
controlled by foreigners, they wo-uld as
suredly treat us as they have treated the
Poles and the Hindus.’’
Kang Yu Wei’s plan of- assassination Is
horrible, of course; but he is an Oriental,
and takes an Orion ial view of the best
and easiest manner of disposing of an ob
jectionable person or company. At the
same time, it cannot be questioned that
he is animated by patriotic feelings. He
loves his race and his country and de
sires to see them preserved, and to the
end of preserving them ho Is willing to
dispense with the ancient customs of v*~
people and adopt those of the despised
foreigners whom he fears.
THE IIOBGKEX FIRE.
The North German Lloyd fire in Ho
boken was probably the most disastrous
conflagration that has occurred in tli4e’
country since the great Chicago fire of
1871. Th loss of life in the Hoboken
fire will approximate, or may even lead,
the loss in Chicago, though the value of
property destroyed was not nearly so
grrat. The Chicago fire burned over
about three and a half square miles, de
stroying some 200 lives and $190,000,000 of
property. It will no doubt be some days
before the full list of casualties and looses
of the Hoboken fire will be made
up, but the outlook is that the number of
deaths will not fall far short of 200, while
the property loss will approximate $lO,-
000,000 to $12,000,000. The story of the holo
caust shows it to have been a magnifi
cent, terrible spectacle. Once the devour
ing element had got the mastery it be
came an insatiable monster. Human be
ings were mere motes, to be licked up
and annihilated almost upon the instant.
The best apparatus that human ingenuity
had devised for eombating flames were
as Lillputian toys and absolutely power
less against the roaring, seething, de
stroying hell of flames they were turned
upon. It is such grand, terrible Inci
dents as that was that brings forcibly to
the mind the pitiable smallness and help
lessness of mankind in comparison with
the great forces of nature. It is a source
of congratulation that the Kaiser Wil
helm der Grosse, one of the finest steam
ships in the worl<X was saved. But three
other splendid steamers were burned and
will probably prove practically a total
loss. Fortunately, the North German
Lloyd is a very rich corporation, and will
be able within a short while to replace
its burned property. But the heavy loss
of life will make the fire memorable in
the annals of such disasters in the Unit
ed States.

Admiral Kempff makes it plain in his
dispatches that the allied forces march
ing to the relief of Peking were attacked
not only by Boxers, but by the Chinese
imperial troops. Still, it is impossible
to determine whether a state of war ex

against the authority of the government.
The current week will, In all probability,
determine whether the government Is act

merely too weak to suppress th**m.

Cl HREXT COMMENT.
The New York Commercial (Dem.)
says; “The English consul at Manila re
ports to his government that the insur
rection collapsed in November, and since
the hemp ports were opened there has
been great commercial activity. Law and
order are being restored as rapidly as
possible, bu 4 the Interior is not safe, and
when stocks In port are shipped out there
may be an interruption of trade. Im
provements are visible in every direction
in Manila. The work of draining the
flbhy tow’n ditches and stagnant pools,
which is in contemplation, ’may possi
bly entail an epidemic, but the advantage
to posterity Is Inestimable.’ Manila ‘may
become a great commercial power in these
waters before the first quarter of the cen
tury is passed.’ The postoffice and tele
graph are under American and British
control, and are admirably managed. The
telephone, electric lighting and water sup
ply are controlled by Spaniards, and are
also entitled to high praise.”
The Riehwiond (Va.) Dispatch (Dem.)
says: "There Is no question that there is
a tremendous and constaly-growlng sen
timent against imperialism—the un-
American policy, and the revolutionary
doctrine for which the Republican ticket
nominated at Philadelphia last week
stands. Nor Is there any question that
there ore thousands upon thousands of
men throughout the country whose party
affiliation has heretofore been anti-Dem
ooratic, hut who now, would be willing
to subordinate all otbeg- considerations to
that of saving our institutions from the
wreck with which McKlnleylsm threatens
them.” ,
The Columbia fS. C.) State (Dem.) says:
"Even in his strongest speech against
imperialism, Senator Hoar said he would
continue to support the Republican party.
He proved that It was behaving
ously and then pledged it his fealty. The
anti-lmperiallsis knew just where to And
him—his mouth full of good words and
a bad ticket In his hand."
The Norfolk (Va.) Landmark (Dem.)
says: "Hill has more of the statesman
in his make-up than Roosevelt has. He
is a man of more discretion and self
control than Roosevelt, and yields no
whit to him in brains. There Is encour
agement for conservative Democrats in
the way in which the Hill movement Is
"taking."
\ *lierlM>k Holmes In I tnt>.
It Is pleasing to note that Utah, where
the fi -titious Sherlock Holmes displayed
eome part of his wonderful detective abil
ity, has produced in r*al life the prototype
of Conan Doyle’s character, soys the
Denver Post. A few days agon drug store
iu Salt Lake was entered at night and
robbed. In addition to topping the till the
burglars e.ole a dozen bottles of hair
restorer, several bottles of Florida water
and a large bottle of violet perfume.
The list of articles stolen was given to
i member of the staff of detectives. Other
information wae meager. No one was sus
jiected. and, contrary to the usual cus
tom in such case* made and provided, the
defective announced that he had no clew.
He did this hecauce he 4 a real Sherloel:
Holmes. For he had what other lesser
sleuths would call a clew. This wise young
man reasoned that the burglar was bald
headed, else why steal hair restorer; that
he liked the odor of Florida water, and
that he had n ©weetheart with a fondness
for the perfume of violets. Having made
this mental picture of the malefactor, he
started out In search of him. At latest
reports the burglar was still at large. The
detective nosed his way oil over the city,
but was unable to detect an odor of Flor
ida water exuded by a bald-headed man
accompanied by a girl perfumed with vio
let. Hones are entertained of the detec
tive's success, however, as an extrava
ganza. with ballet, is to be played there
shortly, and u is believed the guilty
wretch will aurely be taken in an orchestra
chair.

Germantown has an Irish |x>lieeman
whose exaggerated ideas of what consti
tutes his duty often results in ridiculous
scenes, says the Philadelphia Record. One
day last v.eek he noticed a man who lives
on Mnnheim street superintending the dig
ging of a small hole at the curb in front
of Ills gate. “Pfwut are yez doin’?” he de
manded “Going to plant a hitching post. 1 ’
replied the owner of the property good
naturedly. He knew the policeman and
had often bandied jokes with him. “Have
yez u permit?” asked th© minion of the
law. “No. 1 just wnt ©head and did it.”
“Och! sure. Oi can't allow that at all. at
ail. It’s me juty fer to enforce de law.
Ycz'll have to get a permit from de city
hall.” The necessary document was pro
cured next day and the hitching i>OFt was
in place w’hen the blue-coated son of Erin
came to inspect the permit. A little pile
of dirt remained and the owner of the
property instructed his gardener to shovel
it up and take it back to thp garden.
“Here! Here! Oi can’t allow thot!” ex
claimed the i>olleeman. “Thot's de city's
dirt. It's me juty for to protect de city’s
property.” "All right, then. What shall
be done with it?” asked the other. The
blue-coat seemed puzzled for a minute,
then he said carelessly, as though con
ferring a great favor: “Sure, yez can Just
dig o hole in de street an’ shovel it in, an’
Oi’ll say nothin’ about it.”

A little Incident at the police station
yesterday afternoon attracted comment
from various sources on account of the
r alistic romance it embodied, says the
Memphis Commercial Appeal. An old ne
gro walked Into the office and asked in
a mild and respectful manner if his
“young marster.” M. C. Goin, was there.
He was told that Goin had been fined $2
for being drunk and was on the rock
pile. He applied to Mr. Dye. keeper of the
rock pi e, and had a talk with Goin. The
latter was very drunk when arrested,
ond the recorder fined him $2. He hails
from Corinth, Miss.
“How much.” asked the old negro, "will
you let Mm out for?”
Mr. Dve replied that $1.73 would pur
chase hla liberty. The old man pulled out
a tobacco sack and unloosening the
strings got out $2. The young man was
released. Being asked why he was inter
ested in the young man .the old man
sa id:
4 I belonged to his father endurin’ the
war. and no better man ever lived. When
I hear ’em sav young marster was in de
rock pile I jes' cum up heah ter sec him.
I’d g.ve my last cent 'fob he shud stay in
de prison.”
The young man and the old ex-slave
walked away together. No one ever learn
ed the old man's name.
Would Be of Yat Benefit.
The teacher was hearing the grammar
class, says the Indianapolis Sun. On the
blackboard was written the following:
“Caesar was one of the greatest gen
erate. He was stabbed by Brutus, who was
envious of his greatness.”
"The paragraph on the board.” announc
ed the teacher, “is imperfectly written.
The class may write it correctly.”
In a few moments a dirty hand went up
ill the rear of the room, and at u signal
from the teacher little Johnny arose and
read:
“Caeear was the warmest thing that ever
happened. He was trown down by Bru
tus, who was sore on him because he was
a wise ’un.”
“O. K.,” said the teacher, smilingly.
Strange as it may seem, the idea would
not be a bad one for, in the face of the
rapid strides* we are making In the use
of slang, it is liable at any time to be
come the proper form of speech, and would
not the blush of shame creep into our
cheeks if. at some future day. our chil
dren should accuse us of bringing them
up in ignorance?
AV!y Editors IJie Y oung,
Quite one of ihe most notable editors of
the day, says the Golden Penny (London),
is E. T. Cook of the Daily News, who,
many people w ill be . interested to learn,
celebrated his 43d birthday on Saturday,
May 12.—Mr. Cook, after a distinguished
career at Oxford University, started writ
ing for the old Pail Mall Gazette, though
he was intended for the civil service. He
became assistant editor In succession to
Sir Alfred Milner (now in South Africa),
and, in due course, the editor. There is a
story told of Mr. Cook in those days which
may or may not be true. He had written
a leading article beginning with "To-mor
row is the anniversary of the death of
Louis Philippe," but which the genial
compositor reproduced as, "To-morrow is
the anniversary of the death of Sam Phil
lips." On seeing the proof, the angered
editor wrote in the margin: "Who the
dickens is Sam Phillips?" Mr. Cook thought
that it would put matters right, but next
day he was pained to find this: "To-gaor
row is the anniversary of the death of Sam
Phillips. Who the dickens is Sam Phil
lips?”
An Issue of Veracity.
The head of the household was late get
ting home, says the Chicago Journal. He
was very late. It was long past midnight.
Indeed, the little clock on the hall man
tel had just struck 3 oclock, when he
came walking In. He had been out with
the boys, and Ills wife reproached him.
"Why it's early ye’ It’s not late."
Just then the bedroom clock struck one,
two, thiee.
The wife looked at him with grim re
buke 11c caught h*-r eye and jerked out
this reply:
"Well, now, if you want to believe that
darne 1 and llar-and a-half clock be'ore your
dear husband I have noihli g to say."
Then the Duchess Kept Still.
I-ord Beaconsfield, the great statesman,
was very fond of the late Duchess of
Teck, and admired her grasp of political
problems; but he never allowed himself to
be charmed into telling cabinet secrets,
says Ixmilon Answers.
One evening at dinner, during a crisis in
foreign affairs. Princess Mary, who was
puzzled at the Inaction of the government,
turned to him and said:
"What are you waiting for. my lord?"
The prime minister paused for a moment
to take up ihe menu, and, looking at tn
Princess, gravely replied:
"Mutton and potatoes, your royal high
