somebody is spreading the news
that the Lodge immigration bill re

able to read and write the English
language, says an exchange. This is
an invention of the enemy. The bill
requires no such test. It merely re

The press dispatches say that Ad
jutant General Barry has discharged
William Kearney of company A, sec
ond regiment of Nebraska guards for
desertion. We are sorry to learn that
William deserted in time of peace, he
has probably been .reading some

not have gone to the trouble of giving
him a discharge.
AUSTRALIA is sweltering under the
hottest summer sun that continent has
known for years. When the thermom

greatly enhanced on account of it.

Jerry SiMrsON took up valu
able time yesterday to state in
congress that Chairman Dingley wore
a hat made in London. Dingley de
nied and said his hat was made in
New York. If the tariff champion
wants to wear a foreign-made hat and
will pay a big tariff to the govern
ment for the privilege, we have no
objection. Its the fellow who wants
foreign goods to come in free so he
can buy them cheaper than the home
product that we object to.
If Mr. Bryan talked for a thous
and years (which he would certainly
do if he lived that long) he would
never be able to prove that the kind
of prosperity they have in Mexico is
the kind we want in the United States.
The prosperity that prevails there is
the exclusive property of the rich;the
taskmaster enjoys life, but the hireling
under him groans. There are no poor
people in the United States like the
poor people of Mexico, whose poyerty
is abject and hopeless. To hear the
truth about Mexico it is not the best
plan to listen to oratory from a boy
jumping jack, who has spent a few
days in palaces down there, eating,
drinking and being merry. Consult
those who have spent a few years
there, and who are more famil.ar
with the hovels than with the hall?.

The municipality of Lincoln is al1
torn up, and investigating committees
are busy with everybody from the
mayor down to tho water commis
sioner. The latter official resigned
his post, but tho smelling committee
goes right on. Humors of bribery ex
ists in all quarters, and an effort to
impeach the mayor is evident from
tho testimony. It looks to an out
sider as if a rotton state of affairs had
been unearthed which needed some
fresh air.
IT HAS been estimated that the fig

Dingley law is assured. Out in the
moHntime it may bo expected that our
friends, tho revenue reformers, will
continue to twist overy bit of disturb
ance in the financial or tho industrial
worid into evidence that tho Dingley
law is the root of all evil.
The opposition to the annexation of
Hawaii comes directly from the sugar
trust and its kindred interests in this
country. Oxnard went so far as to
make out contracts with the beet rais
ers at Grand Island, in which the
price per ton p:tid for beets was to be
cut down 50 cents if Hawaii was an
nexed. All the opposition to annexa
tion comes from democratic partisans
or from thse who have been bcodled
und influenced by tho money of the
trust. The silly talk about the trust
favoring annexation only comes ftom
those whose palms have welcomed
the touch of gold from the worst com
bine that pretends to transact legiti
mat3 business in this country.

The government for once has used
commendable speed and will get sup
plies to the Klondike before winter is
over, says an exchange. This is the
most noticeable since the first of the
year it was necessary to send over to
Lapland and import reindeer for the

with their drivers and loads will be
well on their way from the Alaskan
coast to Dawson.
A party of twenty-five people from
St. Louis passed through Lincoln Inst

and left at 6:15 on the Billings train.
Their special car, chartered from the
Burlington, will make the entire trip
from St. Louis to Seattle, from which
port they will ship for Dyea. Two of
the men were accompanied by their
wives. The women expect to with

reach Dawson City with tho rest of
the party. Alex G. Wilson, who made
the trip a year ago and returned to
St. Louis last October with some $15,
000 in gold, was on board. He will

Some Interesting Meetings.
The revival services at the Presby
terian church yesterday were more
than usually interesting. The morn
ing discourse was a most able and con
vincing refutation of Col. Ingersoll's
prediction made some years ago be
fore a large audience in the city of
New York, when he said: "Chris
tianity is dying out; within ten years
from thi3 time there will be enacted
in the United States two theaters for
every church." The speaker showed
by statistics that there had been,
within the time given, a most remark
able growth in all church efforts and
church erection. A large audience was
more than agreeably entertained 03
this discourse by llev. Fred Tonre.
The afternoon meeting for men was
well attended and greatly enjoyed by
the congregation. The evening sub
ject, "Tit for Tat, ' or retributive jus
tice, was listened to by a packed
house, and the after meeting:, to which
nearly the entire audience remained,
evidenced a deep interest in these
meetings.
The meeting tonight is looked for
ward to with great interest. The sub
ject will be "The Traitor in the Camp. "
Something good may be expected.

NEW YORK'S GROWTH.
The City Has Never Halted Since It Was
First Fairly Started.
Ernest Ingersoll writes a paper on the
Greater New York, entitled "Reasoning
Out a Metropolis," for St. Nicholas.
Mr. Ingersoll says:
The people of New York, Brooklyn,
Staten Island and certain nearby north
ern towns resolved to join themselves
together into one city, which is now tb'.
Greater New York. It embraces 841
square miles of territory and includes a
population of nearly 3,400,000.
Besides these at least another million
dwell on the New Jersey side of the
Hudson river, quite as near and as
closely identified with the great city on
Manhattan Island as are those of the
northern and eastern suburbs. This
makes a population of nearly 4,500,000
which may be said to belong to New
York, making it not only by far the
largest center of human life and inter
ests in America, but, excepting only
Loudon, the most populous spot on the
globe.
- How has it happened that this vast
city has grown up where it standsJ
Why did not the American metropolis
arise somewhere else? Is its position all
an accident, or does history show sound
reasons for its situation? The earliest
settlement here was merely a trading
station that gradually became a small
seaport, like a dozen others along the
coast. Before the year 1700 these were
so nearly alike that he would have been
a wise prophet who truly foretold which
would thrive. Indeed many men of that
day firmly believed that Newport and
Annapolis were to be the two great
American seaports.
Great cities arise at the points where
the greatest number of people find it
convenient to meet at first for business
and later for pleasure. Yon cannot force
a city to grow in an unnatural or unsuit
able situation, and it is no easier to pre
vent a city from growing in its proper
place. But the conditions that ohange p
village into a big town and expand th
town into a city or metropolis are ni
the same in different parts of the globi
and vary with the march of the cen
turies; so that now many an ancient
world market, like Nineveh or Mem
phis, has totally disappeared, while
towns like Berlin have lately increased
with amazing rapidity, after a long his
tory as small and insignificant places.
As for New York, it has never halted
or gone backward for a moment since
it was fairly started on its career in
1623.
Try Holding Your Breath.
The modern quick moving elevator,
when it sinks suddenly, gives many
persons an unpleasant, qualmish feeling.
Into a well filled elevator in a big shop
ping store the other day stepped from
one of the floors two women.
"Do you know," said on9 of them to
the other, "that if yon hold your breath
going down in an elevator you don't
have that unpleasant feeling; you don't
feel it at all."
Of course nobody in the elevator lis
tened intentionally, but nobody could
help hearing what she said. Gonversa
tion instantly ceased, and everybody
drew a long breath. The elevator 6hot
downward in silence.
"Ground floor!" said tha elevator
man as he threw back the door, and the
women streamed out from the car upon
the floor, talking now gayly, and there
was one at least who said that the plan
was effective. New York Sun.

ONCE THEY WERE MEDIUMS.
Now They Expiate Their Sins by Tossing
Halls of lllun Fire.
Close by the Northwestern tracks at
Leavitt street is the homo of tho "jug
gling sisters. " They were twin presti
digitators in their days of life, so runs
the tradition, and now they toss balls
of bine fite about as tho juggler does
eggs, cannon balls and tho like. Their
pet amusement is to stand on their
heads and toss the balls as if they were
standing afoot. Tho force of gravity
seems to bo reversed for their benefit,
for they "toss" the balls of firo down,
and the little flames "fall" up. All this
is set down just as James MaeCourtuey,
the oldest settler in the neighborhood,
tells it. He said tho other day:
"Them broad windys over there on
the north side of the old building is the
place where the sisters comes to show
theirsolves. The year of the World's
fair I counted up their performances, an
they come every 50 days. The reason
fer -that is somethin I could never guess,
but some smart young chap here fig
gored out that it was always in the
dark of the moon. I've noticed since
that there never was no moonlight when
they got up there in the windys.
"What's the cause of their hauntin
the old place? Why, sir, the story's so
old there can't no truth nor lie be made
out on it. There's no man in these dig
gin's longer'n I be, an I ken the story
only by hearsay, so to speak. I heerd it
rom my granddaddy, an he said he hecyl
it when he was a young man comin
here. That mus' 'a' ben in the thirties.
Onnyways he sed that the two sisters
was persdiditaters. It seems like they
give a performance in the house, which
was new then in course, an the pair of
them agreed ter be locked up in a box
thet was to be sealed an fastened, an
then they was to get out without break
in the seals. Well, they was locked np,
but they couldn't get out, an purty soon
they foun theirselves so short of breath
they couldn't holler loud enough to be
heerd. In course they was in a room
away from the other people, so's the
common folk couldn't see how the trick
was turned. When they couldn't holler,
they tried rappin, an the others only
thought they was a-workin out of the
box an so didn't pay attention. After
an hour or so the other peoples got ntrv
ous an went in an opened the box, an
there was the two sisters, cold dead.
They buried 'em together in the box in
the yard back of the house, an that's
why they juggles the fire balls upside
down. like. " Chulago Chronicle.
MAKING ARTIFICIAL ICE.
How the Plants Are Constructed and Op
erated In Philadelphia.
Artificial cold or ice may be most
readily produced by the evaporation of
a more or less volatile liquid. In the
first machines constructed this liquid
was water. One-tenth of the amount of
water used was converted into ice, but
as it was necessary to maintain a vac
uum in the apparatus its perfect work
ing was a difficult problem. A more
readily volatile liquid, therefore, had
to be substituted, such as liquefied sul
phurous acid and liquefied ammonia.
Being gaseous at ordinary temperatures,
they are very suitable substances for
this purpose. The ammonia ice machine
is the one in most general use in fact,
it finds exclusive application in this
city. This liquefied ammonia is allowed
to expand in coils of pipes which are
placed in tanks filled with brine. The
temperatuie of the brine is thus reduced
to a point below the freezing point of
water that is, to 14-18 degrees F.
In this refrigerated brine are placed
galvanized iron tanks having the shape
' of the large cakes of ice which one is
accustomed to see in the wagons that
pass through our city streets. After a
period of 48-50 hours this can of water
is converted into solid ice. The can is
hoisted out of the brine, warmed with
hot water, which allows the cake to
slip out upon a shoot that runs into the
storage rooms. The gaseous ammonia
in the pipes can be used over and over
again, a large compression engine being
a part of the plant, which reduces the
expense of the process. From this de
scription it should be plain that there
can be no taint of ammonia to give a
taste to the ice.
The plants usually employ distilled
or artesian water, so that the ice is of
the best quality. Whatever impurities
the water contains are collected in the
white streak found in the center of each
cake. The pure water separates from
the impure and freezes first. Even ten
years ago the demand for ice was sup
plied from natural sources, the har
vests from our own Pennsylvania riv
ers, which were stored every winter in
great houses on the shores of the streams,
being supplemented by shipments
throughout the summer from Maine.
There are now in Philadelphia 16 ice
making plants, some of which yield
over 100 tons per day each, and the arti
ficial product for several years has been
a serious competitor of the natural arti
cle. Manufacturer.
No Kegro In South Africa.
The word "negro" is not heard in
South Africa excepting as a term of op

Afrikander Englishmen stopped me
