EUROPMANIA IS COSTLY.
itl OOOOOOOO G e.s Abroad In Alli-
xuiee.s witJi IVoliility.
More than 400 American girls have
quarried foreigners of noble families und
siany of them have taken * big fortunes to
itbcir European husbands.
A French journal. Le Petit Parisien ,
declared the other day that American !
V girls who had married abroad , mostly for
foreign titles , had carried with them to
Europe the astonishing sum of $9WM.K)0- )
OGO. The Paris writer did not associate
this statement with the reports of "tight
money' ' in America , yet the fact .that
liundreds of millions have gone out of
the country with the title hunters may
"well occasion a little financial as well as
* social speculation.
Ilenry Clews , the veteran financier ,
nvhcii asked for an opinion on this esti-
uiate , said :
- " 1 think the statement that $000.000.-
' - ' < KK ) of wealth has been taken out of this
< otuitry. or at least that the ownership
- of this vast amount of assets has boon
transferred to aliens by the marriage of
American girls with foreigners is conserv
ative. Undoubtedly the withdrawal of
Kpuch an enormous sum lias an appreciable
-effect upon the money market.
"The folly of Americans who have Eu-
ropamania is extremely cosily to this
countryOur tourists spend at least

it foolishly. "

I'ure Food I.arr Defended.
Dr. N. W. Wiley , chief chemist of the
Agricultural Department , in an interview ,
defends the national pure-food law from
tlie attacks of those who charge the in
creased cost of living to its operation. Dr.
"Wiley admits that pure foods are worth
tniore , and should bring higher prices in
the markets than debased foods , and says
'ihat any legitimate rise in the price on
-this account is a benefit to the consumer
rather than to the producer , and should
c regarded as a bles iim and not as a
-curse. lie calls attention to the fact that
while pure foods have advanced in price
the adulterated articles have declined.
Nevertheless he points out that the great
staple articles which form 00 per cent
of the food supply , are not , and cannot bi\
-affected by this law. lie warns the pub
lic that in no case does the government
gjuarantee the purity of any article manu
factured and sold , but merely aims to
'Jjavc the goods sold for whar they are.

WILL ASK AUTO MAIL CAR.
Postal t.cnj ; . ' t" Press Its Plan
lU'fore Cons'i'es.s.
The next Congress will be asked to pro
vide for an experiment in automobile pcst-
O.TK-OS for rural delivery service. This sug
gestion was made at a ine''ilng of the
Po. < al Progress League recently by .Tames
L : Cowles , the secretary and treasurer of
the league.
Mr. Cowles estimated that the present
loss to the government on rural delivery
service amounted to $172 for each route.
With the adoption of automobiles and a
change in the postal regulations to permit
a local rural parcels delivery with a
weight limit of eleven pounds. Mr. Cowles
declared rural delivery would become a
profit instead of a loss to the government.
Following out this suggestion , the
league will ask Congress for an appropria
tion of $ l 0.000 to test- the plan. Mr.
Cowle- > * calculations were made for a
route of twelve miles covered twice a day.
lie estimated that the cost of these trips ,
iuciudini : the carrier's salary , would
amount to only S. > a day , which would be
more than provided for if each of some
175 families along the route paid only 3
cents a day for parcels from the town.
Frederick C. Beach , the president of the
league , said that the National Grange ,
the association which obtained the passage
of the free-alcohol bill , would back the
Postal Progress League * in this and its
other postal reforms. President Beach
was empowered by the meeting to appoint
a committee to draw up petitions to be
presented to Congress this coming win

# * he International Pure Milk Congress
held at Brussels put itself on record as
against the use of raw milk , advising all
mothers to give their infants milk brought
to the boiling point , pasteurized or steril
ized. This action , following upon the
address of Nathan Straus of New 'York
telling of his efforts toward pasteuriza
tion , was in the nature of an indorse
ment. It was announced that Mr. Straus
would give a complete pasteurizing plant
to the city of Brussels. The Straus plan ,
which was first put into operation in New
York City fifteen years ago. has now been
adopted in nearly 400 cities in all parts
of the world , and the United States gov
ernment has indorsed pasteurization as
the proper way to make milk safe and to
stop the spread of tuberculosis.

SHIFTLESS TRIBE TAXES , UNCLE
SAM'S PATIENCE.
Government Said to Fear that the
Sioux Will Aid 'Their- Guests
s Troops Are Sent to Watch the OIi-
wtrejieroiis lied Ttlcn.
Eight companies of United States
cavalry have been sent to Thunder
Batte , S. D. , inthe fear that the Sioux
Indians , are about * to rise in rebellion
and take the warpath asa"llies of the
Utes , who are ready to shed blood because -
* '
\
cause o hardships imposed on them
by the Indian agent.
It was feared settlers may be mas
sacred unless extraordinary haste was
made in massing in the disaffected re
gion a" su'dicicntly large number of
troops to overawe both thcMJtes and the
Sioux.
Orders , .were received at army head
quarters in Omaha to dispatch the re
maining two squadrons of the Second
United States Cavalry , composed of
eight companies , to Thunder Butte at
the earliest possible moment. In addi
tion to the cavalry , Company M , Six
teenth Infantry , under Capt. Harry F.
Daltou , left Fort Crook for Gettys
burg , S. D. , to take charge of the base
of supplies which has been established
there for the operations ; against the Ute
Indians should they start trouble.
It was not known a ariny headquar
ters m Omaha why additional troops
have been sent to the Cheyenne river
reservation , but it was thought the idea
was to prevent any portion of the Sioux
tribe from making common cause with
the Utes in their revolt against authori
ty. The Utes , it is pointed : out , are in
a sense the guests of the Sioux , and the
Indian idea of hospitality might induce
some of the younger Sioux braves to
offer aid in resisting any forcible meas
ures adopted for the subjugation of the
disaffected Utes.
The Ute Indians , who have recently re
belled against government restraint on
the Cheyenne river agency in youth Da
kota , are believed to have taxej the patience -
; tience of their good-natured Uncle Sam
too much. Officials of the Indian oiiice
nnd the Interior Department will not dis
cuss the probable action of the govern
ment in relation to the Utes , but it is in-
limated that if damage to property or violence
lence to settlers or government officers
or soldiers has been or is committed the
unruly Utes will face punishment such
j as would be given to any other law vie
lators.
The altitude of the Indian office to
ward the uneasy T7t9s has been decidedly
a fatherly one ever ( since they first gave
evidence o a desire to getaway from
their own reservation. In the summer of
1OG ! ) the Utes ibcided that civilization
and citizenship were things which they
didn't care for , and they announced their
determination of leaving the Uintah reser
vation in Utah and striking off into the
"Indian country" in South Dakota.
Nearly 300 of them went on the pil
grimage and the government followed in
the capacity of friendly adviser , urging
them to return to their own reservation
nnd keeping an eye on them as they work-
j ed their way eastward. It was expected
the Utes would return to their reservation
in the winter , but they remained in the
Wyoming country for some ti.ne and ap
parently had no intention of providing
for their own comfort and maintenance
during the cold weather.
As a consequence they were finally "ar
rested" last fall and taken to Fort Meade ,
South Dakota , where provision was made
for their temporary quartering. Arrange
ments were then made with the Sioux In
dians pn the Cheyenne river agency in
South Dakota whereby four townships of
land were leased for the Utes and thev
were established upon these lands , near
Thunder Butte , at the upper end'of the
Cheyenne river agency.
The Utes have shown no inclination to
return to their own lauds in Utah. The
: money for their support in South Da
kota is drawn from the funds which
j j would otherwise go to the general support
of the Uintah and Ouray agencies in
Utah , but this docs not worry them. They
seem willing to get along with the least
possible amount of work ; but resent any
effort on the part of the government to
restrain their liberty , or force them to
take an active part in the advancing of
civilization.
The Indian office has been lenient with
them in every particular. They created
no great disturbance a year ago and did
no damage , and as a consequence the In
dian office officials did not attempt to
punish them , but turned its attention to
"advising and persuading" them to ac
cept the provisions made for them and to
return to their own country.
Efforts have been made to put them to
work , but the braves have persistently
and effectively wriggled out of anything
that looked like manual labor and have
thrown themselves upon their "White
Father" for support , although refusing to
obey the instructions of the government's
Indian officials. The commissary , has
faithfully followed them around and tak
en care of them until some officials of
the Interior Department declare that it'
is time they were made to understand
that if they will ilot work and will not
stay at home they must expect punish
ment if they commit depredations.
A oVevr Diamond Maker.

A report from Paris tells of a discov
cry in the direction 'of artificial diamond
making which is a distinct advance upon
Moisson crystal carbon making. The new
method is credited by the Academy of
Science to Aristide Clmrette , a chemist ,
hitherto unknown. He says he has form
ed minute diamonds by passing a feeble
electric current through a tube contain
ing sulphuret of carbon and metals like
iron. The academy has undertaken to
confirm this.

Transmutation IVovr a Fact.
Prof. Otto N. Wict of the Technical
high school at Charlottenburg , Germany ,
an authority on radium experiments , now
asserts that the latest experiments of
Prof. Ramsay show that under the influ
ence of the energy-contained in radium
emanations well-known elements like cop
per can now be converted into others just
as well known. This proves that the an
cient alchemists were .on the right track.
Four years ago Ramsay discovered that
radium emanations changed to helium and
later that this is the source of all the
inactive elements.
Latterly Prof. Boltwood of Yale has
shown that a new element exists in the
uranium minerals , where radium is found ,
and which 5s the parent of radium. This
new clement gives off both alpha and beta
radiations , produces no emanations and
resembles tlieorium. Ionium is the name
proposed for this substance.

SIEGE OF ViCKSBURG.
THIRTY-SEVENTH REUNION OF
ARMY OF THE TENNESSEE.
"Gibraltar of the South" Undergoes
Another Sieprt Coinsneinoratinp : the
One IVIiIch AVax Amoiifc the Jlot
Ilemarkable in military History.
The Society of the Array of the Ten
nessee , composed of otlicersvho served
in the great army of the West umkT
Grant and Shennau , recently held its
annual reunion at Vicksburg , Miss.
There , where frowned during th.
first two'3'ears of the Civil War tilt
impregnable 1'ortilieations of the Confederacy -
federacy , choking the trade of the
great river and cutting the southern
.half of the republic in t\vo , there , where
the great siege was fought out bitterly
and bravely on each side , but with vic
tory to Grant , the commander whenever
never led to ultimate defeat , the rem
nant of the society which , formed in
the field in 1805 and im-hided all oi
the officers of the Army of the Tennes
see , met in its thirty-seventh session.
With it foregathered some of the
surviving Confederate oflieers who were
among the besieged in the fated city ,
with Gen. Pcmberton. from May 10 ,
1SG3 , when the ring of assault was
finally closed around' V'icksburg , until
the 4th day of July , when the suffering
garrison stacked their arms and 27,000
troops surrendered to the forces of the
Union.
The siege of Vicksburg is considered
one of the most remarkable in all mili
tary history. The difficulties to be
overcome were tremendous. Again and
again were the naval forces on the riv
er and the army on land repelled from
"the Gibraltar of the South , " but the
whole nation knew that the struggle
must never end Until Vicksburg was in
the hands of the Union forces.
The ' United States government has ,
in commemoration of the great siege ,
purchased the fighting groind around
the city , 1.283 acres , and is making a
m M & &i MM
1LU2JOIS MOXUMEXT AT VI <
great military park which is to be at
once a beautiful pleasure ground and a
lesson in the history of the memorable
siege. The grounds are laid out in
broad , paved avenues , with fine bridges ,
and with a wealth of monuments and
tablets to show the position of the va
rious commands of both armies.
Solemnly impressive is the other gov
ernment reservation at Vicksburg , the
national cemetery , where rest the
ashes of 1G.S22 Union soldiers who lost
their lives in and around the citi * dur
ing the war. Something of the condi
tions under which these lives were lost
may be imagined from the fact that the
graves of 12,719 are marked "Un
known. "
Fourteen States Alabama , Illinois ,
Indiana , Iowa , Massachusetts. Michi
gan , Minnesota , Mississippi , New
Hampshire , New York. Ohio. Pennsyl
vania , Rhode Island and Wisconsin
have appropriated large sums of money
for the Vicksburg national park , and
each of these States has erected suit
able monuments and memorials of its
sons who fought upon this ground.
Illinois , appropriating $2GO,000 for
the purpose , has striven to show , ade
quately , the feeling of a loyal State
toward those who fought among the
trenches and hills and wild ravines
around Vicksburg.
Along the line of the Union works ,
nine miles in extent , the State has
erected monuments and markers show
ing the position of the seventy-nine
Illinois organizations which took part
in the campaign. The State memorial
is a white marble temple lighted from
its open roof , and upon the walls of it
appear , in bronze-lettered tablets , the
names of the 3G.OOO officers and sol
diers from Illinois who served in the
campaign.
A scroll of marble runs around the
interior , like a frieze , and upon this is
inscribed the names of the commanders
from Illinois , beginning with Lincoln ,
the commander-in-chief of all the ar
mies , continuing with that of Grant ,
the commander of the Army of the
Tennessee , and naming all of the Illi
nois generals of that army that parti
cipated in the Vicksburg campaign.
