The Paris correspondent of Ixindon
Truth tell an Interesting tory of the
manner In which the Russian government
tested the efficiency of the French de
teotlve police when the czar was about to
visit Paris. The chief of the Russian po
lice went secretly to the French capital,
' with orders to lie quietly by In a hotel and
only to report himself at the embassy
after a stay of a week. Rut ha had not
been three hours In Paris before the pre
fect of police learned of his arrival from a
French detective. At St. Petersburg they
thought this a sailsfactory result, and the
Imperial pair ventured to go to Paris and
drive down the Champa Klysees without
cavalry around their carriage. A similar
test applied In Rome had different conse
quences. The head of the Russian police
remained there for a whole week without
tils arrival being suspected. On the even
ing of the sixth day he called on Count
Nelldoff to report himself, to the great
astonishment of that ambassador. They
both agreed thut If the Roman police had
not scented out the head of the greatest
police force In the world, they could not
be depended upon to know much about the
going on of anarchists and nihilist. This
I alleged to be the true reason why the
car declined to trust himself in the king
or Italy's dominions.
Commenting upon the republican victories
in the recent municipal election In Spain,
a, corresponuent of the London Times
writing from Maori.!, points out that last
spring Sen-jr Garcia Allx wa placed at the
hum office to airest at all cost the mount
ing tide of protest against the present sys
tem, which In April frightened the Palace.
Th conservative government had six
month In which to construct its dikes, but,
nevertheless, the republican victory sur
passes even the dreams of the republicans
memsclvea. In Madrid, where the republi
can refused to go to the polls, more than
HO.000 republican votes were cast. Th great
towns Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia, Se
ville, C'oruna, Zaragoxa and even Toledo
11 defied the orders of the locsl "bouse.
Catalonia la almost entirely republican.
Hut, add the correspondent, the slgnlfl
cam.- of the great republican vote can
easily be revealed. Although the country
ha declared Itself republican, it doe not
desire a change of system. The domonstra

monarchy fall, the republicans, he holds,

Fate of a Coaeera that Did Hot "Leave
Well Baeaab Moae."
Chicago Tribune. ,
First of all there was the George A.
Fuller company of Illinois. It was a
nund, money-making concern. What
money It made It earned by 'putting up
buildings and not by floating; stock. But
that kind of money did not "come easy
enough," and o th Illinois company
turned Itself Into the George A. Fuller
Construction Company of New Jersey,
with a capital of $15,000,009. The change
was marked by the Injection of IIO.POO.OOO
into the capital stock account for "tools
and good will." The tools were worth
about 1200,000, according to the company's
own figures. Therefore the "good will"
was put down a worth $9,800,000.
Fifteen month after the New Jersey
law enabled the Fuller company of Il
linois to swell Itself Into the Fuller Ccn
etructlon Company of New Jersey a still
more startling metamorphosis took place,
The construction 'company Joined with the
New York Realty corporation, and the
two together became known under Cue sin
gle sonorous name of the United States
Realty and Construction company, with a
capital of 6,000,000. Th Fuller Construc
tion company exchanged It $15,00,000 of
capital stock (two-third of which we
already water) for $20,000,000 worth of tock
In the new trust. The New York Really
corporation also received stock eet tlflctites
for all It put Into the pot, together vlth
several large bags of water. The services
of an underwriting syndicate were called

to the securities." The public was get

wise. Jt got out In time while tha profes
sionals Hayed In, "barking" vainly for
gudgeons. When the Innocents did rot re
turn the professionals began to ur.loij on
each other.
In order to keep up public "confidence"
the company paid dividends which It hadn't
earned, "profits," as the balance sheet
showed, from "buildings In progress," and
also from "estimated Increase in value of
Investments still held." That was e.ipltol
Izlng the future with a vengeance. Such
high financing could not last. The 'jndtr-
wrltlng syndicate was dissolved In Sep
tember of this year with loss of 15,000,
000 out of Its fll.COO.OOO. The Issued stock
of the building truet-460.209,100-ha shrunk
Into a current value of $9,540,274. Th

It would also prevent respectable business
men from going off on these disgraceful
plain water spree. It would reveal the
rotten place In unsound corporations, but
healthy concern would thrive in the light,
just the 'national bank thrive under th

It haa often been remarked that an ora-
cer, a second or first lieutenant, possesses
unusual temerity in taking a brtda upon
the salary, 1116 and $1 which Uncle
Bam pays his Junior officer. Bine the

Increased considerably in four years. It
forms an Interesting Una of thought.
Can an officer live In th Orient much
more cheaply with a wife than In the bar
racks in the United States provided by
tha government? That he can. Men who
hav served in tha Orient have made hast
to seek conjugal ties prior to accepting a
post of several years there again. This 1
not saying that an officer stationed with
his wlfept some army post on tha plains
cannot llv a cheaply aa th officer In th

except that found among the officers of hla
own regiment. But tha officer on duty in
Waahlngotn or New York finds that if ha
U blessed with a wife he can procure mora
comfort for her in th Orient, llf re he has
to spend money whether he wishes to re
main frugal or not. There are always en
tertainment to attend and entertaining to
bo done. But picture the llfo in Manila!
An officer arrives In the principal city
of the Philippines and it he has a private
Income he will probably go to the Hotel
brlente, where a fair room may be ob
tained for about U a day. This does not
include board for hi wife. II will hav
his horse and carriage In the stable In
th rear of the hotel and he will entertain
when be wishes. . - '
If he ha no need to be careful of hi
fund it wlil coat him easily tOO to (300 a
month. But a younger officer, with no
private means, finds it impoaslble to llv
in thi style. Ills thought and nearest
Uh 1 to get a private dwelling. Before
the army of the United States occupied
Manila it was posaibl to hire a mansion
of twenty or mor room for about two
hundred Mexican dollars a month. A
pretty Manila house, mighty comfortable
for three or four, wa rented for (DO and
160. But the resident of Manila never
heard of such prodigality a followed.
The Idea that an enliated man could tip
th driver of hi caramata 20 cent and
an officer hand over a half dollar opened
th eye of the people to the amount of
money we were always able to dispenae.
Th Englishmen and Germans. long resi
dent of Manila, cursed the advent of th
American In th east. They said, and
rightly, that they spoiled the native. Be
fore our coming a good machaco could b
hired for ftv Mexlcaji dollars a month.
Now they want ten. Tb cue hero he' the
man who drive your horse and takes
car of t hern got ten dollar and now
wanta twenty.
Tb rent went np and the price of food
also. Not alone the soldiers of Uncle 8am
started th raise in prlcea, but speculators
came from all part of th world, and with
full parses. Army officers saw the best
home taken by outsider, and saw the
prices rU with no littl feeling. But a
It a Urn da today It U quite piisalbl for a
Junior officer to Uv In Manila much mor
cheaply than he can at bum, and bar
t mor luxuries ad,mor comfort.
What aorond lieutenant rould keep three
srvanU In th United State and a team
of horses on (114 a month? Quite lmpoa
sible. In Manila It Is different. He rents
a house for (30 in gold and buys his sup
plies from the quartermaster. Thi In
clude beef and everything but fish, fruit
and fresh vegetablea. He purchases them
more cheaply by far than he could In the
State. HI servant cost him perhaps (16
a month In gold. He can keep two horse
for (10. HI bill at . tha quartermaster's,
unless he has several wine at hla board,
will not amount o over (40.
And there ' ia a lot of satisfaction In
awakening to find your machaco waiting
with, your linen clothes, your bath having
been prepared. It is quite comfortable to
be able to summon your cochero to have
the victoria ready and such pretty, easy
riding little "victorias they are, too at
o'clock, to step Into it and be whirled by
two fleet ponlea from your shack to the
department in the walled city or the nw
Manila, wher your duty calls you.
Os the Laaeta.
And then at half-past ( o'clock In the
evening have the victoria call for you, and,
with your wife by your side, drive two or
three mile to th kuneta the broad road
leading along the shore of Manila buy
and within a mile or two of the spot where
Dewey sank the Spanish fleet.
Here Is gathered the life of Manila. It U
one continuous stream of carriage. And
at 8 o'clock the band will com out to
play ewect munlo for an hour. Then th
dash back to the city, where, dinner U
waiting, and a mighty well cooked dinner,
for the Chinese a well a th Klllpluo
chef are artist in their line of business. -This
picture 1 drawn of tne life led by
atrmy officers who are stationed in Ma
nila and upon duty at one or another of
the many departments. There are always
some regiments In Manila, and while the
soldier are quartered In the thatched bam
boo barracks the officer may hav, and
do have, their little home. There Is an
Item of expense In entertaining and for
club fees and dances, but this does not
amount to much.
A man can make one hundred gold dol
lar go a long way in Manila if he Is care
ful with those same dollars. And you may
imagine a newly married army officer ia
not extravagant.
The ten brides now on the Pacific, and
almost within sight of the rocky coast line
of Luxon, may be fortunate to be stationed
In Manila fot few months, and, If so.
they will not regret having cast their lot
with the army. Several of them, by the
way, are daughter of officers and ar
accustomed to army life.
Tb Twenty-second haa got to hav more
luck than thla regiment drew during Its
last experience in the Philippine. There
wa a war going on then, and part of the
regiment waa aaalgned ta th lake town,
General W he ton having his haadquarter
at Calamba, an th big inland lake.. He
rightly termed th spot "th ball bole of
the Philippines, " and no mor proper name
rould hav been applied to thla plague in
fested town.
Tb Twenty-aecond unard severely
from fever, which elmcat depleted its
rank. In consideration of thla fact, it i
pmbabl tit regiment will get mure agree
able station, and the army bride will
find llf in the Philippine a season of joy

action of tb Twenty-second men ia going
to encourage the young officers of the army

SUN AS A HEALTH RESORT
Old Sol Net a Moltea lahere, bat a

The western astronomer wne announce
that the aun 1 not a molten mass, but, on
the contrary, a delightful place to Inhabit,
will receive more respectful attention than
would have been possible ten year ago.
That the sun Is the source of practically
all the light and heat we receive Is un
doubted, but the nature of these two forces
is not only a mystery to us, but the the
ories which have from time to time been
advanced concerning them have been found
untenable. Although we have Immeasur
ably increased our knowledge conoernlng
the universes and soma of it law In th
last four centuries, we are not much nearer
any appreciation of the causes underlying
them.
The Ignorant talk glibly about the "sub
tle ether," gravitation, light, heat and
electricity, but the wisest admit that
mighty little can be positively asserted
about any of them aside fcom obrvd
phenomena. No reasonable explanation
has ever been given that explain the law
of gravitation, which alone of all tho in
the universe seems to work exactly th
am at all time and under all conditions.
No one can explain how the ray of tha
sun pass through the frigid anac for ninety
millions of mile and yield u th warmth
and light without which life la Impossible.
Very plauxlble theories have been ad
vanced to explain how the sun maintains
its volume of heat in spite of the constant
loss through emanation, but they are the
ories only.
The atomic theory was used for decades
to explain many things, but since thut has
been destroyed or made doubtful through
the discoveries attendant up in the Hertslan
waves and the emanation of Ions, 'scientists
are at sea where one they felt secure.
Radium exhibits phenomena that are thus
far inexplicable, and It Is probable that th
western astronomer has arranged hi theory
of an JnhubltaMe sun largely becaune of
these recent discoveries, which have done
much more to destroy former views than
to construct new ones. He thinks that the
un is the great dynamo of our system
and thut licut and light ar mer effects
of electricity as locally manifested when
in contact with matter. Thla sound well,
but it mean little. It doe not dispose of
the difficulties attendant upon th theory
afforded by other known conditions.
What can be said 1 that no one with
ny intelligence will at once categorically
dispute the theory. That period has gone
by. What la demanded 1 that h who pro.
