Up in North Dakota a woman can didate for State Superintendent of Schools has introduced a new cle ment into politiis. By promising to marry ber chief rival she not only re moved him from tbe opposition, but go'j bim to lake tbe stump for ber. There are men who pretend to think that as a politician woman would be a failure. Although tbe two young children of James R. Ro tsevelt of New York, Med I' and 15, respectively, have an Inherited income of 0, UU i a year. Judge I'.arrett has refused to allow their father tbe 0,ooo a year that lie wanted for their maintenance and education. Tbe Judge says .that l 'i.O 0 is (juite enough. There are certainly quite a ouaiher of children who get on fairly well with even less than that The best achievements are not made by those who have neither eyes nor ears for anything beyond , their one engrossing pursuit, hut rather by those who, while putting their whole souls jnto .1 for the allotted time, ca-n th ow themselves heartily for a whilj into some other interest, They return not, only freshened and In vigorated, but occupying a b'her stand-point and commanding arger news of their own chosen employ ment than before. There is very good reasoa for not suspending newspaper adve.tisftig in summer. As we know and see it our selves it is perfectly obvi us i that less advert sing is done at this time of tbe year, tbe space that is used can be occupied to greate advantage. All newspaper publicity is a strugle of advertisement again -t advertisement, each endeavoring to "capture the page" each advertiser trying so to 11 his space as to secur- attention for himself and divert it from hU ri vals. We are all rivals when we en ter tbe newspaper, and the rivalry is far less keeu la summer than in the winter. TiiKitK, are many men and women who are a law uoto themselves, who follow right paths and forsake crook ed ones, not from any compulsion o! the law or fear of social displeasure, but from the dictates of their own consc ences and the general purity or their own des res. Tbe r relf-respecc is dearer to them than any praise tbat could be showered upon the to: their self-disapproval is harder to tear than society's frown or the law's penalty. Without disregarding or despising either the one or the other, they have a higher standard than either, and they cannot be content when tbey fall short of that. H w lame the symbol $ to I used as the dollar-mark? The question ts pu . lmg the people who like to get at the derivation of everything. The most plausible reason is that the ma k is a combination of '-t.'. S.," the initials of the lnited State, while others think It l a modifica tion o the figure - the dollar being formerly called a pfece of eight Hut intricate as the question is, it doesn't liegin to i ompare with the trou Je people take to get hold ot the d .liar itself, an 1 pinch it and get io:) cents' worth out of it, whether of food, clothing or fun. 'The dollar mi k may be delusive, but the dollar iUelf is elusive," said Marshall P. W ilder. ' ' ' Tar. man who has sufficient dig- mroent to recognize a good thing when be has It, is at least worthy of nil the sweet It brings him. Jt was thl faculty which enabled a San Frwisco police court attorney to rongratulate himseir upon having out oh blHcfc eye, instetd of two A Hipk of practitioners at tbe Old itr Hall q Barreled over n IS tea, vtfch owe was not disposed to divide tzxtf wtia the other, nnd on knocked C ton.

The country is paving in tbe stage matters for its prolonged debauch ou far e-coroedy, extravaganza, comic opera aod tbe lighter ioruis of theat rical entertainment. As it is, we must look across tbe water for either great artists or great and serious pro ductions. Mr. Dalo, whose forte, however, is comedy, though of a high order, can only eiist by going abroad for half tbe year. As for Americans to play great plays, tbe stage is bare of tbeui. There is no successor to Booth. There has been no successor to McCullough none even to Barrett. Indeed, the old time "tragic star" of the Forest or dera great actor with a poorly equipped company is impossible. Hence there is no American breeding ground for great actors. It would need a great manager first, who might or might not be an actor like Mr. Henry Irving. I' mil sucb a one arises, we must go on as we are, in venting fol-de-rol and importing every stage work of importance. It has been customary to regard fresh bred and hot rolls as indigesti ble. But Dr. Troit. ki, a well-known Russian bacteriologist, claims for them a very important b gienic ad vantage. New and uncut bread does not contain any uihro-organisms, as tbe heat necessary to bake the bread is sufficient to kill tbetu aL As soon, however, as tbe bread is cut and allowed to lie about uncovered it begins to generate microbes not only of a harmless type, but also or a pathogenic character. White and wheat-meal bread is a belter nuriant medium for these organisms than rye be. ad, on ac ount of the greater acidity of the latter. From a i-erlcs of experiments with pathogenic bacteria. Dr. Troitk. has found tbat tbe bacillus of anthrax, without spores, remains alive on the crumb of white or wheat-meal bread for thirty m thirty-seven days and on the crust for thirty-one to thirty- three days: the typhoid bacillus re mains active twenty -five to thirty days on the crumb aod twenty-six to twenty-eight days on tbe crust, while the bacillus o: cho era lives twenty three to twenty-five days on loth. How many men waste time in frivoloi a amusements, in empty pleasure. Fiaiklin said: "Dost thou love life'r'" Then do not squan der time, for tbat is the stuff life Is made of. It rich men would make their sons work for a living in some respe table calling, instead ol fur nish. ng them with money to gratify their inorainary desires, their vanity and pride, they would have better and wiser sons, li people would em ploy their leisure In doio,' what is oet for themselves and others, we would not have so many drones upon society, so many uele.an 1 unworthy 'tizeus. "Brick the sides of your intent," and goad aod stimulate and urge yourself to do what you can do in this swiftly passing life ol ours. Hugh Miller, it Is said, found time while pursuing his trade as a stoue. mason, not only to read, but to write, cultivating bis style till he became oue of the miM facile and most bril liant authors of the day.

Washington Pot. ! Iitvlng lly Maniclng. A ( anlinental beggar has been liv ing very comfortably by banging himself. He would cboo-e a tree near where young children were playing, string himself up and groan to attract their attention, so that tbey would run for help. He would be cut down and restored, and a let ter In his pocket would explain bis attempted suicide by a statement of his destitution. But he knew how to attach the noose so as to avoid strangulation.

A ratnor is current here th it a government surver party has been massacred oh tbe Rio Grande below hi Paso. The latter city has been wired for confir mation aiid particulars. Washington, Sept. 12. No infor mation has reached tbe govern meat officials here regarding tbe reported massacre of a surveying party in tbe vicinity of El Paso, beveral govern ment surveying parties hive beeo nt work in the neighborhood of tbe Rie Grande river, but in the abwnee of official telegram advices, officials ex press doubt as to a:y of the parties having been murdered. Two parties of the geological survey have been at work in Texas, moving toward Fort Davis, but tbey were not due to reach there for a month yet. Topographer Charles Urquksrt and Assistant Topographer Green formed one party and Topographer C. C. Basaatt tbe o.ber. Each was accom panied by a teamsier and a cook. The two Dartiee left here early in August, and were expected to complete tbetr work in November. It is also probable that Geo egist R. D. Hill and Assistant Geogoiist T. A. Vaugban have been at work iu the vicinity of El Paso. They expected to go to Mar fa on tbe Southern Pad Be this week and then to El Baao. With them were a teamster and also a cook, hired in Texas. Tneir headquarters during thesummer was San Augustine. When tbe Sin Fraaciceo rumor was shown tbe geological oflicials it waa at first suggested that the party was tbe International boundry commission, but that party left the neighborhood named for tbe Pacific coast several months ago. It is staled that there has also been in the Kio Grande country a party of ten or twelve scientists from tbe coat and geodetic survey at the bead of which was Assistant Stephen For ney. They left Washington iu Febru ary and were due to return here at tbe end of this month. They, however, nave been working at tbe mouth of the Kio Grande, almost 1.0U0 miles from El Baso. A communication was received at tbe coast survey office from the For ney party, asking for additional money but not indicating any trouble with the people In the vicinity. At all offices whose employes are engaged In survey work and also at the War de partment it waa stated tbat no report of accident or trouble of any kind bad been received. Mexican thieves aud not Indians were regarded as likely to be tbo guilty parties if the rumor bould be true. Th C'hlnrtft For, Cornered, Shanghai, Sept. 12. It is reported that the Chinese forces are cornered in northern Corea without supplies and are killing their ponies for food. AU the foreign employes in tbe Japanese duck yards have beii dismissed. This was done in order luat tbe extent of the injuries to the war ships of the Japanese navy should not become known. The steel Vayeya; nsmati has bet-n docked at Nagasaki to undergo repairs for the damage she has received The dock ;s closely guarded and no particulars in regard to her injuries are obtainable from the native papers, The Chinese transport Chean, while proceeding to F'ormoas with 1,400 troops on board, was wrecked in tbe Chee-Taog pass. A panic occurred on board when the steamer went ashore, but all the soldiers and the crew were lai.ded safely in her boats. There is no hope of saving the transport. On Saturday last some Chinese offi cials hoarded the Freuch mail steamer enroute to Japan and demanded to search ibe ship for Japanese officers coming from Europe, who were said to be searched and was obliged to threat en to ask foi the assistance of a French war ship before the local oflicials with drew. Japanese forces n..rlh of Seoul are suffering from the effects of the rain. Much sickness is also reported to pre vail in ti e Chinese camp. It is ru mored tlint 10 Chinese troops are encamped on the north bank of the river Imcliin wailing for favorable weather to attaei the Japanese posi tion a lew miles south of the lmchin. it is reported on good : uthority that the mikiido of Japan, accompanied by the minisiers of war and rnarimj and his uetierai staff is proceeding to Hero dliinia, a point where the troopi of Japan gather to embark.

Lonihjs, Set. 13. fiie Timjs pub lisiiei am article oa Mr. Gladstone's re cent subscription of 1101 to the Irish pr!Um-ntry fund. The article gives a history of the fund, representing that it has been and is even now supported by the physical force party. It says that Mr. Gladstone and Karoo Tweed mouth, who is a whip of the Liberal party, can hardly pretend ignorance of the the history f tbe fund. Its old American subscribers, it aula, are now divided into a body thirsting for ven geance upon the murderers of Dr. Cro oin and a body which does not thirst for sucn vengeance.. The only consola tion is that tne publication of tbe names of the latest subscriber is to prevent all further cuuLrioutious fol the present from tbe old subscribers. If privy councilors do not shrink from ippearing in the same list with dyni niters tbe latter will hardly consent to appear with privy councilors. Even the Irish-American politicians have icruples, eveu the Clau-ua-Gael has its point of honor. Dublin, Sept. 12. In retard to the receut Irish circular appealing for con tributions to the' Parliamentary cam paign fund, James Francis O'Brien, if. 1'., writes: Although the circular was written in my name, neither I or any other mem ber of the party had anything to do with drafting, signing, or distributing it. Timothy Healy writes that ministers sad other wealthy Liberals, other than Mr. Gladstone aud Lord Tweedmouth, have replied to the circular by sub scribing considerable sums to the fund. Asalutt tha Common Kneiuy. London, Sept. 13. -Uuuer the cap tion "Bobs Poi.tiOcis," toe Pall Mall Gazette prints an article with the ob ject of showing that Premier Crispl is rapidly approaching a reconciliation between the King and the Pope. Last Thursday, the article says, Siguor Crispi's private secretary had a long in terview with Cardinal Hampolla, the former being the first Italian ollicial wha has visited the Vatican since lS'.lO. The visit, the Gaze ie fays, began a series of negotiate ns, the results of which are shown in i lie Pope's prompt establishment of an apostolic prefec ture in Massowah, immediately follow ing which King Humbert gave his con sent to tbe appoin merit of .Cardinal Sarto, the Bope's nominee to the oftice of Patriarch of Ven c. The most sig niticaut incidal or all, however, is the act of Siguor Crispi in gomg out of his way in his speech at Naples to com pi merit Cardinal San Felice, the Arch bishop of Naples and to summons the church and the state lo join their forces against the common enemy.
