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

stand-point and commanding arger

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

the initials of the lnited State,
while others think It l a modifica

formerly called a pfece of eight Hut
intricate as the question is, it doesn't

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

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

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.

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

repairs for the damage she has received
The dock ;s closely guarded and no
particulars in regard to her injuries are

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

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

London, Sept. 13. -Uuuer the cap

Gazette prints an article with the ob

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

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.
