I Gen. Joseph Wheeler denies the report that he is once more a candidate for Con gress from the Eighth Alabama Dlstriat. He says his ambition has been satisfied, end that he desires no office within the gift of the people. Notwithstanding all of which, the politicians of the Eighth Alabama will tremble every time a Wheeler candidacy rumor finds Us way Into the newspapers. "Willie” Schtieber, the young cashier who some months ago stole more than 1100,000 from a country bank in New Jer sey, has been heard from In California. Only a few days ago he cashed some of the stolen bonds in that state. Sohrleber Is a stutterer, and has other characteris tic* which would easily Identify him to th police. Nevertheless he retains his freedom with as much apparent ease as If he were a retired capitalist. In 1873. when the famous "crime” was committed, the per capita circulation of money in the T’nited States was 318.58. Last year it was 330.60, according to the statistical abstract of the Fnited States for 1900, just issued. There was never so much money in circulation per citizen os now. The net public debt in 1868 was 367.10 per citizen and the Interest charge 33.t8. whereas the net debt in 1900 was J 14.52 per citizen and the interest charge ft cent*.

The death of ex-President Harrison will be universally regretted. He was a man of positive character, high ideals and firm convictions. A* chief executive of the nation be surrounded himself with able men, and gave the country a clean administration. While he never professed or displayed partiality towards the South, he treated this section fairly and justly, as, indeed, he did all of the other sec tions. He was a strong Republican, even a partisan white in office; neverthe less he did not permit his partisanship to interfere with his sense of duty to the public. Asa statesman (len. Harrison mode a reputation in the Senate, which ho added to while in the White House. His fame as a lawyer was achieved prin cipally after he left the presidential of fice. He was known before that time as a good lawyer, but few persons looked up on him ns n great one. When he left the executive mansion, however, there were demands for him in Important cases, and the probaballties are that he received some of the largest fees ever paid to an American attorney. PREDICTING AN EMPEROR. Something which Mr. Hadley, president of Yale University, said in the Lenten sermon he delivered in the Old Soulh Church in Boston last Supday is the sub ject of a great deal of comment. If the same thing had been said by a compara tively unknown minister it is, probable that It would have passed unnoticed. What Mr. Hadley said was in substance that unless the people gave more atten tion to those personal virtues which alone could produce a public Opinion capable of resisting the power and greed of orga nized and unscrupulous wealth, the coun try might find Itself under (he rule of an emperor within twenty-live years. Of course he was speaking from the pulpit, and was seeking to impress upon the con gregation the need of certain personal virtues if the republic was to be main tained In Its strength and greatness. It is of course impossible, to predict with any degree of certainty the kind of a government the great railway and in dustrial combinations will consider in the near future to be to their interest, but it Is a safe assumption that they will hold their own interests to be of paramount Importance. If It should seem to them that an emperor would be better for them they would not hesitate to push the coun try along an imperialistic path until an empire was reached. But there is nothing as yet to indicate that an empire would suit them better than a republic. There is no hint any where that trust magnates are looking toward an empire. This talk about great combinations of capital bringing about an empire n’as heard long age>—as long ago as when the first combination of rail ways In this country was completed. Anel there Is nothing connected with these combinations that would justify the sug gestion that their tendency Is in the di rection of an empire. It is true they have Immeasurable greed and vast power, but it does not yet appear that their greed and power would hove greater scope un der an imperial government than under a republican government. Still, it Is im possible to forsee the political tendencies of these vast aggregations of capital, and therefore it la better to be prepared for any situations that might be brought about by them. In this view of the matter it cannot be said that Mr. Hadley’s warn ing was without reason. If the people cultivate right thinking and right living there will be a public opinion that will keep the republic on a solid foundation, even though the tendencies of trusts should be In the direction of an empire. EXHIBITS AT CHARLESTON. Indications are cropping out which Jus tify the opinion that the fair at Charles ton will be a very satisfactory one. There may be some who think that the failure to secure a government appropriation will cripple it. If so they are likely to find that they were mistaken. Philadelphia lias announced her purpose to make an exhibit, and there is no doubt it will be a good one. Baltimore has also signified her Intention to be an exhibitor. Both cities have large business interests in the South, and they are going to see to it that their interests are strengthened. No doubt there are other cities that will follow the example of Philadelphia and Baltimore. The country is Just beginning to take an interest In the fair. In the course of two or three months Charles ton will be able, in ail probability, to an nounce that all of her space has been taken. Doubtless Savannah would be repre sented by an exhibit if it were not for the fact that she Is going to have a fair of her own. It is not of ctourse quite as ambitious a one as that for which Charleston Is preparing. Still, It will take all the money Savannah can spare to moke It worthy of the empire state, of the South. Georgians are looking to her lo give them a fair of which they will be proud, and In doing this she will not have time to give atten tion to outside fairs. While, therefore, she wishes Charleston every success It is hardly probable that she will be among the Charleston exhibitors. The funeral reform suggested hy the Rev. Mr. Cook—that of keeping the head covered at the cemetery during funeral services—is wise and reasonable. It fre quently occurs that attendants upon fu nerals return from the cemeteries with severe colds, contracted from baring their heads In damp and disagreeable weather, and shortly thereafter have themselves to b taken to the cemeteries. It Is no disrespect to the dead to take precautions to safeguard the health of the living. Another needed reform is in the mutter of mourning. Many u wo man's health has been ruined by the heavy black crepe veil which widows af fect; nrul yet women will persist In wear ing those health-wreckers because they fear the criticisms that would he pus-ed upon them by other women were they not to cover themselves from erown to toe witli heaviest black.

BRYAN’S RECEPTION IN NEW YORK. Some of the Republican papers in New York appear to be mightily pleased be cause the politicians, particularly the Tammany politicians, did not ru6h In a body to greet Mr. Bryan on his arrival In that city the other day. His recep tion was of course far different from that which he received there just prior to the presidential election. But the situation was different. Then Mr. Bryan was the presidential candidate of a great political party and a popular orator. It was believ ed that he had an excellent chance of be coming President. It was but natural therefore that he should receive a greet ing that attracted attention, because of its heartiness and the number participat ing in It, from the whole country. Now Mr. Bryan Is only a private citizen with no Immediate prospect of becoming anything more. Naturally the politicians do not run after him. They run after Only those who have favors to grant. Tammany politicians are notoriously sel fish. They do not put themselves out to be civil to those who cannot aid them in any way. Therefore they did not bother Mr. Bryan when he arrived in New York. Those of them he wanted to see he had to hunt up. He called on the Mayor and received a hearty welcome. It may be that Mr. Bryan was a little disappointed because the Mayor did not call upon him, and that other Tammanyitcs did not show him some attention. If he was he made no sign. He 13 not the sort of a man to complain when he feels he has been neg lected. But why should the Republican papers of New York express satisfaction be cause Mr. Bryan's visit to that city at tracted no attention? He has always been courteous to them. Do they think that because Tammany has apparently no further use for him there is no probabil ity of his coming to the front again? They may be disappointed. Mr. Bryan has wonderful staying qualities. SEEKING STATEHOOD. When Mr. Cleveland checked the effort to overthrow the Hawaiian government and make Hawaii a part of the United States, it was freely predicted that if the plotters in Hawaii against the govern ment of the islands succeeded in carry ing out their programme they would nev er be satisfied until they had made the Islands a state in the American Union. It will be noticed that the movement to make a state out of the islands has al ready begun. In our dispatches yester day it was stated that a bill had been in troduced into the Hawaiian Legislature asking that Hawaii be admitted into the Union. The men who are back of this bill are no doubt the same persons who were instrumental in overthrowing the native government of the Islands. They will never rest until they have accom plished their purpose. They are after the high officles which would be created with the admission of Hawaii into the Union. It is doubtful If they care particularly for the welfare of the native Hawailans. It is hardly probable that Hawaii will be made a state as soon as Congress has an opportunity to pass upon her applica tion. There are some very interesting questions which will have to be decided before her application will be given se rious consideration. Among these ques tions Is this one, namely, will it be the policy of the United States to govern their insular possessions as dependencies or to admit them into the Union? The answer to this question may depend to some extent on the Porto Rican and Philippine cases pending in the Supreme Court. Hawaii of course is upon a some what different basts than the other in sular possessions, but it is not at all Im probable that they will all be dealt with in accordance with the same general policy. A prominent New York banker talking to a newspaper man a day or two ago declared Andrew Carnegie to be the rich est man in the world who had his fortune capitalized. There are, he said, perhaps one or two others whose incomes are larg er than his—John D. Rockefeller, for In stance. But these men are In active bus iness, and their great Incomes depend, in large measure, on the degree of attention they devote ito their affairs. In. Mr. Car negie’s case, through the consummation of the steel deal, he has succeeded in cap italizing his colossal fortune. Mr. Mor gan and his associates relieve Mr. Car negie of the entire burden of business cares and give him securities to the amount of $210,000,000 on which he will draw 5 per cent, interest as long as he lives. This means an income of $12,000,- 000 a year, independent of his outside in vestments, which are very large. “No other man in the world Is so fortunately situated as this,” concluded the banker. “Twelve millions a year and relieved of every care! Twelve millions a year, and all the time he wants for golf and coach ing, domestic joys and the founding of libraries!" At a meeting of Methodist ministers in New York a few days ago the news paper press was severely criticised and charged with being responsible for the heavy falling off in missionary contribu tions. The missionaries in China, it was declared, had been grossly misrepresented. “They are not bloodthirsty," said one reverend speaker, “and they have not helped to collect indemnities many times in value the amount of money losses.” By publishing the stories from China, it was said, the newspapers had “poisoned the minds of tlie people" against the mis sionaries ami contributions for missionary purposes had fallen off. Rev. pr. R. S. MacArtliur of New York has invited Wu Ting Kang, the Chinese minister, to speak in Ills church nt an early day. Minister Wu Is what Pr. Mae Arthur culls a heathen. He does not believe either in Christ or the Christian religion; yet lie is Invited to occupy a Christian pulpit. Would Pr. Mae Arthur have extended a similar invitation to the kite Col. Rotiert 11. lngersoll? Would he Invite any American or English atheist, agnostic, infidel or other disbeliever to occupy Ids pulpit. Of course lie wouldn't.

Last week the soldiers at the fort were paid off, and their wages went straight into the tills of the keep ers of the groggeries. Officers at head quarters express the opinion that the re cent rioting at Highwood, near the fort, during which a number of soldiers were injured, was due to the abolishment ot the army canteen. Gen. Otis, commandant of the department, was at first opposed 'o the . iiUqpn. but after he saw its working he gave It his endorsement. The cold water reformers succeeded in having theli so-called temperance law placed upon the statute books, therefore they feel that ithey have won a signal victory. Mean while the men suffer from its operations. The canteens were comparatively harm less. The gin mills that have taken their places are very harmful. The anti-trust law just enacted In North Carolina is said to be similar to the new law upon the same subject in Indiana. Its purpose is declared to be 4o restrict anil punish combinations in restraint of trade or to fix the prices of commodities. Con tracts made in violation of the act shall he void, and infractions of the law shall be punished by a revocation of the right to do business in the state, and the "for feiture of SIOO for each day of violation to the person suing for the same. Notwithstanding “Gas” Addicks of Del aware has been defeated for the United States senatorship three times, he an nounces that he Is still a candidate and intends to remain one until he has ac complished his purpose. Mr. Addicks’ per tinacity of purpose may in a measure ac count for the fact that he is a million aire; and the fact that he is a millionaire may account for the pertinacity of his purpose to break into the Senate. The mayor of Pullman, Wash., is urging his city council to pass an ordinance pro hibiting the playing of marbles "for keeps.” He says it is a most pernicious evil, and that when small boys play mar bles they are being educated to become faro dealers and general gamblers.

B. Mason, of Leeds, and A, W. Churchill, of London. —When Victoria gave up paint ing on the death of the Prince Consort, she presented her paint box to the late William Corden. Mr. Corden was then en gaged in making drawings of some of the Prince Consort's rooms in Windsor Cas tle.

"In my profession the memory often plays us queer tricks,” said an actor who was in the city recently with a road com pany, according to the New Orleans Thnes-Democrat. "They are a sort of protest, I presume, against overwork, and of all such mental antics I know of noth ing stranger than the way we are uncon sciously affected by association! Along that line, by the way, I can tell you a curious little story. Some time in the early eighties I was a member of a com pany that was putting on a series of old time dramas end melo-dramas at one of the theaters in Philadelphia. Asa matter of course we produced that good old stand-by, 'The Ticket of Leave Man,’ and I was cast for Hawkshaw, the detective. The first night we put the play on I was not feeling very well and was con siderably worried about my lines, which, for some reason or other, I had experi enced great difficulty in memorizing. I went down to the dressing room mutter ing them over, put on my costume and made-up mechanically, and answered the call boy with my heart in my mouth. "As luck would have, it, however, I stumbled through without any serious break, and was resuming my street clothes after the performance, in rather an elated mood, when I suddenly missed my watch. It was a beautiful timepiece that had belonged to my father, and I valued it so highly that, as a matter of precaution, I generally carried It witn me on the stage. But what I had done with It this particular night was more than I could say. I remembered looking al it on the way to the theater, so I evi dently had it on my person when I came in, but the rest was all a bltink. My mind bad been so occupied with those con founded lines that I had gone through the preliminaries of dressing and un dressing like a mere automaton. I search ed high and low, everybody else did like wise, and wo continued to ransack the place for days, but not a sign could we find of the missing watch. At last I gave it up and dismissed It from my mind. “Three years afterward,” the actor wont on, “1 happened to be again em ployed in a stock company at the same house, and in our repertoire, as usual,was the ‘Ticket of Leave Man.’ When the time came for Us production I mention ed having played the detective before and was accordingly assigned to the part; but I had forgotten all about having been in that character the night I lost my watch. So, as a matter of fact, I was thinking about something entirely different the first evening I dressed for the role, and I was just completing my make-up when, without warning or apparent connection with my train of thought, the solution of the mystery darted across my mind. I suddenly remembered, clearly and dis tinctly, that I had placed the watch in a little recess behind a loose plank at the further end of the dressing room, In tending to get It out again when I came from the stage. In two bounds I reached the spot, pulled back the plank, and there lay my heirloom ,a trifle dusty but other wise none the worse for its three years of seclusion. "I am no psychologist,” added the ac tor, "and don't pretend to offer a scien tific explanation for the incident, but it seems reasonable to suppose that some little detail of my make-up, possibly some chance gesture, started a chain of asso ciation and aroused the dormant brain cell that held the missing link. At any late those are the facts, and if you can suggest a better theory you are wel come to do so.” Conlil Not Spell If. Ex-Congressman Tim Campbell of New York, is figuring prominently In the news papers again, having resumed intense po litical activity, says the Saturday Even ing Post. Mr. Campbell Is one of the picturesque characters of the crowded East Side of the metropolis and one of its great statesmen. During the several terms that Tim serv ed in Congress he was always prominent before the House. One of his colleagues from Manhattan was Colonel “Jack” Ad ams. Mr. Adams Is a lawyer, but while he and Mr. Campbell were in Congress together he spent most of his time work ing off practical jokes at the expense of the East Side statesman. Tim had been in and out of Tammany Hall several times, those changes depending on wheth er his claims were recognized or repudiat ed. t Avery hot political canvass found Tim one of the stanchest adherents of the hall. Colonel “Jack” had had a falling out with the powers and was just as strong on the other side. Tim took this very much to heart, as his admiration of his fellow congressman was very strong. He concluded that where all others had fail ed to bring Colonel ''Jack” back Into the fold, he, Tim. could succeed. In the coax ing tone cultivated during years of polit ical activity on the East Side, Tim went at his work. "Now. Jack,” he said Insinuatingly, “what do you want to go and fight the mayor for? Sure, he’s a fine young fel low, bright and enterprising, and one of the best educated men in America.” ‘‘Educated!” exclaimed Colonel "Jack” contemptuously. “Educated, did you say?” "Sure; he’s one of the very best educat ed young Fellows in this city.” “Educated!” reiterated Adams, putting an extra dose of contempt into his eyes. "What would you say, Tim. if I told you that he was so little educated that he spells 'if' with only one ‘f?” “Does he do that?” responded Tim In a heartbroken tone. "He does.” “Well, then. I have nothing further to say. I don't blame you.” Joking Supereme Coart Justices Justice Brown and Justice Brewer, are probably the most popular members of the bench in fashionable society, says the National Magazine. They dearly love to tell jokes on each other. Not long ago they were guests at the same table, at a dinner. Justice Brewer was first given the floor, and launched Into witticisms re garding the embarrassment to which he was often put by the fact that their names looked very much alike when writ ten. carelessly by people. He played upon various phases of the dilemma, and finally Justice Brown had a turn. "I have been subjected to the same em barrassment,” replied Justice Brown. "Sweetly scented notes Intended for my brother on the bench come to me. But more than that. Some time ago In a le gal ease a decision written by my brother was quoted as an authority and credited to me. I can well sumblt to receive Brother Brewer's sweetly scented mis sives; I even could bear up under paying some of his bills; but I cannot—l certainly cannot stand for his law.” A Wind Tbnt Blew. "You call this a stiff March wind?" re marked my friend, Dan . Weyrlch, the other evening, says a writer in the Al bany Journal. “Why, this is nothing. This Is a Southern spring zefliyr compar ed with what Wo used to get when I was a boy. We were living then over on the farm. Our house wus set In n very ex posed place on a small hill. When the March wind blew she rocked that bouse like u small skiff In a gate at sea. I slept then In a bed on rollers. Many a night 111 MaiAh I was awakened by the rolling of the bed all around the room. It would bang against nil four walls, making u< h a nol-c that sleep was well nigh imtaisslble." “What did you do then?” I ventured to ask. “What could f do,” said Dan, "but sleep on Hie floor and hang on to ths bed to keep it from rolling.

State Journal. "The latest complaint is that the custodian some time ago removed two carloads of fertilizer from a Kansas City packing house and stored it In a vacant room In the basement of the capitol. All the members of the Legislature and state of ficers have been suffering from the un speakable odor. It Is also made known that Topeka thieves have been stripping the copper from the roof. The other day some boys were found tearing up the copper, and it was seen that sheets of that metal had been carried away. Is it impossible to take proper care of the main public building in the state?” —Mrs. Upton, In "Our Early Presidents,” says that it was not the original Inten tion of Thomas Jefferson to inaugurate the regime of "Republican simplicity" without pomp and display. She adds: "Mr. Jefferson himself, like Washington, was fond of horses, handsome equipages and handsome dress, despite what had been said of his Republican simplicity. He may have ridden horseback up to the Capitol for his inauguration, as goes the myth, but he meant to have a fine coach and four for he occasion—only Jacky Eppes did not get to Washington with them In season. He may sometimes have been carelessly attired; but often he flash ed out in contemporaneous record, in his white ebat, scarlet breeches and vest and white silk hose, fit to figure on a Wat teau fan.” —A dispatch from St. Petersburg, says: The streets remain covered with a hard, even white coating of snow. Only a few of the rich use wheeled carriages. One may see perhaps a dozen in a day. The 20,000 “izcoshchiki” long ago abandoned their odd little four-wheelers for narrow cutters. They are about as wide as the "hug-me-tight” type of American bug gies. and this name would fit them ex actly. It Is an almost universal custom for men driving with women by day or night to place a protecting arm around their waists, presumably to keep them from falling out. Two modes of crossing the Neva lend a characteristic touch to this city. Electric street car lines traverse the ice at three different points. Paral lel to many of the boulevards there are smooth ice paths, at each end of which one finds a crowd of peasants shod with skates, who eagerly bid for the privilege of pushing one across for ten copecks, about five cents. —Of course, it Is known that moderate changes of pressure, such as occur in water passing through a pumping en gine, for instance, are survived by bac teria with little or no injury, says the Engineering News. It does not follow, however, that higher pressure might not prove fatal to these organisms. The hu man body, for example, endures with lit tle difficulty an increase in atmospheric pressure of ten or twenty pounds. As the pressure increases injury begins, and a limit Is soon reached beyond which one cannot go and survive. Similarly fish and plants in the ocean are known to be sen sitive to the pressure at great depths. To investigate the effect of pressure on bac teria an apparatus was devised which is remarkable for having produced what is probably the greatest hydraulic pressure ever reached, over 450,600 pounds to the square inch. The particular object of these experiments was to determine whether the bacteria in milk might not be killed by hydrostatic pressure, so that it would keep a longer time without sour ing. Moderate pressures were first tried, but appeared to have no effect. The pressures were then increased and 1 nota ble results were obtained. Milk subjected to pressure of 70 to 100 tons kept from twenty-four to sixty hours longer without souring than untreated milk. The degree to which the keeping qualities of milk were improved appeared to depend as much on the time for which the pressure was maintained as upon the actual pres sure reached. Pressures of ninety tons per square Inch maintained for an hour delayed the souring of milk from four to six days. Complete sterilization of the milk, however, was in no case affected, even at the highest pressure, and the milk in many cases acquired peculiar tastes and odors in keeping, indicating that certain species of bacteria were killed while others were not. —“Pain is a great mystery,” remarked a physician of this city who has a fond ness for the recondite side of his profes sion, soys the New Orleans Tlmes-Demo crat. “It Is claimed by certain theo rists that people who are placed under the Influence of an anaesthetic for surgi cal operations really sufTer everything they would otherwise, but forget about It when they return to consciousness and a good many ingenious arguments arc advanced to support the proposition. It is rather a ghastly idea, and I am glad to say that the real evidence is oil the other way. but It is a pretty well estab lished fact that certain anaesthetics— ether, for instance, and nitrous oxide gas —will sometimes prevent suffering with out destroying consciousness of pain. "That sounds like a paradox and is some what difficult to explain without becom ing more paradoxical still. The effect if the anaesthetic, in the strange cases to which I refer, Is to render pain pleasant. While apparently insensible, the patient is fully conscious of everything that is going on and the nerves respond as readily as ever, but instead of producing physical discomfort the effect is exactly the reverse. I have encountered several anomanes of that kind and one quite re cently. The subject was a middle-aged man whose foot had been injured In an accident. I had to amputate the two last toes, and the operation, which was under ether, lasted about twenty minutes. When the man recovered from the influence of the drug, he tried to tell me about hts sensations, but although he struggled hard, ho could find no words in which to • xpress them. 'I felt all the pain,' he said, 'but somehow It didn't hurt me.’ 'Then it wasu't pain,' said I. endeavoring to draw him out. 'Oh! yea It was,’ lie re plied, earnestly, 'but l liked It; I didn't want you to stop.' He repeated a num ber of things that had been said during the operation und It was evident that he had been conselou* all the while—at least conscious of hls surroundings.
