Roimd About
NEW YORK
N'w Y nU , Fi h. IS. Kvory once In
HO ofion , or more frequently , a rumor
IH circulated to the effect that the
"voKt'-d IntoroHtn" are about to wallow -
low up the ncuHpapoi'H and periodical * *
of the country. Just now the llnaii-
tlttl Interests are credited with a de-
sinlo buy all the magazines and
mow tin-in Into a "trust. " When
that bPiievolonl scheme Is carried out ,
HH nald , the so-called "muck-raking"
magazines will COIIHO their muckrak
ing and will devote their space to fic
tion and Kiich articles as do not Inter
fere with big business.
One nf the sources of this rumor Is
the fact that the American Magazine
has been sold to the ( 'rowel ! Publish
ing company. The American was for
merly owned ami edited by John S.
Phillips , with Flnley Peter Dunne.
Hay Htiinnard Baker , Ida Tarbell and
William Allen White as associates.
As all of those distinguished writers ,
it is said , will continue their connec
tion , the fear that the magazine will
become the organ of the Interests ap
pears to be baseless. Money will buy
printing presses , but , despite the cyn
ical proverb that "Every man has his
price. " It Is a 100-to-l shot that the
millionaires of the country have not
enough wealth to get a lease on the
brains of a "Mr. Dooloy" or Miss Tar-
boll or any of the other brilliant writ
ers who have made American maga
zines and newspapers servo the en
livening purpose of sharp-pointed
tacks In the seats of the mighty.
The apology forced from another
magazine because of a mistaken at
tack on the Standard Oil company is
also a source of joy to these who think
American journalism amenable to
the Influence of the powers that prey.
Unfortunate as was the unwarranted
allegation against the highly moral
'oil trust , " it remains true that these
who make no mistakes make no war.
Numerous attempts have been made
In the past to buy up magazines and
newspapers and to use them In light
ing the battles of the Interests against
the people at large. In practically
every case such journalistic frauds
have speedily failed. There is noth
ing to Indicate that the present rum
ors of n periodical trust have any
foundation. Even if the reports were
true , worry is not imlTcated. It would
mean merely that the publications in
volved were doomed to failure , and
that others would take their places.
The old destructive muckraking is
probably a thing of the past. The
constructive muckraking is just com
ing into its own.
A play without words is the latest
European sensation to bo Imported tc
this country. Entitled "The Darliiui
of Paris , " it made a great hit in the
French capital , and will have its ini
tlal production on this side at the Co <
lonial on Monday night. Twenty per
sons will appear In the cast , and not
a word will be spoken by any of them
from the rise to the fall of the cur.

At hibt , a modest nobleman ! 1
has developed that Nicholas do Doory
a fiscal agent of this city , is a sure
enough Hungarian baron , although h <
has never made use of the title slnc <
coming to this country and 'none o
his business associates knew of the
front elevation to his name. Ten days
from today the baron will be marriet
not to an heiress , but to prettj
Natbloen Dossaro , a cashier in a dm ;
store , whom ho loves dearly. D <
Doory's secret , it is said , was divnlgci
by the bride , who just couldn't kee ]
from letting her friends know tha
she was to become u baroness , al
though slu didn't know it until afto
she had pledged herself to the mai
she is to wed on February 28. Di
Doory is the son of Baron Ladislau
of Hungary. As Hungarian titles ar
rated In Al in the New York matrl
monlal market , the action of the bai
on in wooing a poor girl is all tin
moro remarkable.
Now York undertakers have bandei
themselves together to protest agains
the custom of the steamship con
panics In burying at sea the hodle
of passengers who die on board. Th
undertakers are of the opinion thn
this custom is barbarous , cruel an
provocative of unnecessary grief t
the relatives of the deceased , as wo
as a practice that causes conslderabl
loss of revenue to the "laying-out
craft.

DISPATCHERS' PAY RAISED.
I
Northwestern Train Officials Get In
crease of $10 and $15 Per Month.
Every train dispatcher on the North
western system has received an lu
crease of § 10 per month in salary.
Chief dispatchers receive a $15 per
month advance.
The taking off of two passenger
trains and the "chain gangs" on this
road has caused the non-employment
of a number of brakemen who , how
ever , are satisfied that business will
pick up within a month. This decrease
IH business is said by railroad men to
appear at this time every year , and
r the men out of work now will be back
again within a very short time. It is ,
however , generally believed that the
very favorable weather conditions this
season and the early clearing of all
freight has caused the taking off of
the extra freight employes.
WHY HE CAN'T CLEAN STREET.
Street Commissioner Decker Declares
the Council Won't Let Him.
According to Street Commlssionoi
William Uccker , there are at presenl
no prospects for Norfolk avenue being
it cleaned from the sloppy coat oE mud
because the city council says "It's ui
'
to tho'paving contractor. " Mr. Ueckei
does not think th" street will be clean
ed until spring.
"I asked the council a few days age
to allow mo to clean off all the inter
sections. That would make a neai
and clean appearing street withou
taking off the mud from the othei
part of the paved district , " ho said
"but the council refused to let me g (
ahead and told mo it was up to tin
contractor. They also said if wo tool
any dirt from the pavement now i
would cost too much to replace it li
the spring , should that be necessary
I myself believe it would bo easier fo
mo to take the dirt off now and hau
now dirt on In the spring if U wouh
be required. "

Mr. Dalfour has coiHli'intH'd the C'a-
nadlan reciprocity agreement as "an
imperial disaster. " C'annda Is tin1
only dominion whose trade Interests
i ho nuich advanced hy a roclpro-
city agreement with a non-British

of Mr. llalfour had come from the

1IOO ! the British electorate has repudi
ated the sehomo for a protective tar

Canada la the keystone of the areh of

Of the many itbmud stories going
the rounds about royalty , one of the
most ridiculous Is to the effect that
both Queen Mary and Queen Alexan
dra have exact replicas of their more
valuable jewels made of Imitation
stones , which they wear on many oc
casions. It Is added that it is a mat
ter of the utmost dllllculty to tell the
real from the Imitation jewels when
they are placed side by side. As a
matter of fact , there is not an atom
of truth in the statement. Neither of
the queens possesses an imitation jew
el of any kind. Nor is there any reason
why she should , for the jewels of both
queens are amply protected and it is
practically impossible for anything to
happen to them.
The illness of the kaiser has been
the cause of some concern in Ger
many. For the past two years Emperor
William lias been almost a teetotaler ,
and it Is said that ho has been com
pelled to give up drinking because of
the condition of his health. At din
ner at home in his palace lie usually
sips a glass of the light beer specially
brewed for him , while at regimental
dinners and on other public occasions
ho is ordinarily supplied with a tum
bler of strawberry colored liquid non
alcoholic in its nature. Incidentally ,
the kaiser's experience of the benefi
cial results of temporence has been
beneficial not only to himself , but to
army and navy 'officers and cadets ;
so that now the kaiser is beginning to
advocate teetotalism as the means of
( oeping strong nerves and cool heads.
The report comes from Spain that
there is no love lost between Queen
Victoria and the Dowager Queen
Christina. And this In addition to the
nmor , sometimes current that a do-
: ided coolness exists between King
Vlfonso and Queen Victoria. The
lowager queen is said to have attrib
uted to her English daughter-in-law
he indifferent attitude that the king
ms assumed toward the Vatican and
lis growing disregard for her counsel
iiid advice. Altogether Victoria is
said to be having quite an uncomfort
able time of it , but as she is a wo
man of Ideas , and decided ones at that
clever and quick to speak her mind ,
ler English relatives have no fear
hat she will be imposed upon beyond
endurance.

In order to check stabbing affrays
iiid so-called crimes of blood which
are considered the national scourge ol
Italy , a special law was passed a few
years ago making it a crime to carry
, i penknife. Its result has proved sc
beneficial that another law , equally
uraconian in character , will shortly
submitted to parliament to com
Imt alcoholism , which has increased
to an alarming extent. The subject ol
the law Is two-fold , as while com
bating alcoholism , it indirectly en
courages the consumption of wiiu
which Italians are neglecting for the
stronger drinks and liquors.

The Need of Clean Teeth.
The Teachers' Heading circle of this
stction of Madison county held Its
regular February meeting , last evening
instead of on Saturday afternoon. Dr.
II. J. Cole gave a most instructive ad
dress on "Dental Sanitation in the
Schools. " lie showed clearly the re-
ation between a healthy mouth and a
lealthy body , and between decayed
teeth and disease.
lie emphasized the dangers of de
cayed teeth , not only to the individual
Lint also to the community , because ol
the disease germs breathed into the
ilr , and quoted an eminent medical
authority as saying that if the secre
tions of the nose and mouth were prop
erly cared for , the spread of dlphthc
ria , scarlet fever and tuberculosis
could be effectually checked.
Dr. Cole gave an interesting ac
count of dental inspection in the
schools of Cleveland , O. Over I3,000 !
children were examined , and a free
dental clinic was instituted for chil
dren too poor to pay for such service
as was needed. In one school a class
of forty children from the poorest ant
most incorrigible was organized
These children were taught to use the
tooth brush ; they were given denta
treatments , they were taught to masti
eate their food properly , and the re
suit was more than gratifying. They
improved in self respect , in health , ii
scholarship and in deportment , fron
50 to 200 percent.
In closing , Dr. Cole re-emphasized
the necessity of the proper use of the
tooth brush to secure the health o
the gums , and of mastication , so tha
food might be properly digested am
assimilated , in order to secure tha
health without which life is a burden
At the close of the meeting circu
lars were distributed which have beei
issued jointly by former State Super
intendeut Bishop and the educationa
committee of the State Dental society-
More Parring is Assured.

ineiit to the Junction. The prlncipa
point of issue now is as to whethe

"Girls. "
"Girls , " the sparkling , scintillating
comedy from the pen of Clyde Fitch
which was presented for 225 consecu
tive nights at Daly's theater , Now
York , will bo seen at the Norfolk Audi
torium February 28.
This is said to he one of the bright
est of the comedies written by Mr.
Fitch. The struggle of a trio of girls
who have como to Now York to fight
their way through life without the as
sistance of the sterner sex present a
series of amusing incidents. One scene
which is that of their retiring for the
night in a room furnished with a foldIng -
Ing bed , a sofa couch and a Morris
chair , is said to be 0110 of the most
unique and realistic over presented.
That the young ladies finally yield
to the charm of the hated sex is a
foregone conclusion. The entire per
formance sparkles with wit and hu
mor that hold the attention of the au
dience from the rise to the fall of the
curtain.

MODELS DEMAND MORE PAY.
Artists' Assistance at Philadelphia
Threaten to Form Union.
Philadelphia , Feb. 20. The latest
class to cry out against the high cost
of living is the artists' models of this
city , men and women , who have unit
ed in a demand upon the Pennsyl
vania academy of fine arts for a uni
form rate of pay for posing , or they
will organize n union to enforce their
demands. They want a uniform scale
of CO cents an hour , with or without
drapery. A letter , outlining the de
mands of the models , nearly all ol
whom are women , was sent to John
E. D. Trask , secretary of the academy.
A reply was promptly sent. It says :
"I regret very much that It is Im
possible to do as you suggest in re
gard to the 25 and 33 1-3 cent rate per
hour in the illustration classes. The
reason that these classes are paid
for at lower figures Is duo to the comparative
parativo ease of getting models to
take them , and also because the risk
of cold Is less than in the other
classes. "
At present the academy pays 50
cents an hour for posing In the nude ,
but L' . > cents an hour for posing for
the head only and 153 1-3 cents an
hour for posing in costume or drap
ory.
ory."Tho
"Tho Idea of paying us less because
we might not catch cold , " Indignant
ly exclaimed Miss Dorothy McKay ,
one of the signers of the demands.
"Why , wo have to eat as much as the
people we pose for. At 50 cents an
hour , wo only get a living wage , be
cause the work Is so irregular. Some
of us only average $5 a week during
the season. "

SOUTH DAKOTA SOLONS.
New Legislative Apportionment Gives
Additional Members to Counties.
Pierre , S. D. , Feb. 20.- The unfit )
labor bilL.which Is aimed at the Home
stake mine , came up in the senate
and after a short discussion went ov < - rte
to Tuesday of this week , when if
conies out as a special order.
That part of the state west of tii.
Missouri river will gain throe senator
and twelve representatives under the-
apportionment bill which lias bDn
drawn by the joint apportionment
committees of both houses , and whioli
was Introduced in the house. Tti"
now bill reduces the house representa
tion to 10'i , one less than now. The
senate has been to Its full constitu
tional limitation since the beginning
of statehood and thu changes to He-
cure representation west of tlio river
had to bo by reduction in counties
east. The same plan is followed in
the house list. The larger counties
show a loss in the house list , while
the senate adjustment has been made
at the expense'of some of the small r
counties.
The house ge'ts a few commit ; " -
bills each day , one of these being ( .o
allow the judges of the supreme court
an expense account.
In the senate a petition as present
ed from the Woman's club of Doud-
wood , asking that a law be enacted
prohibiting the killing of deer for a
period of five years.

EXTRA SESSION TALK.
Leaders Believe Vote on Reciproc : y
Will Not Be Reached.
Washington , Feb. 20. An extra fees
sion of congress looms very largo and
probable. Unless President Tuft and
the friends of the. Canadian reciproc
ity agreement are able to bring mcv :
.than ordinary pressure to bear up.MI
the senate and a\ert the expenditure
of time by the opponents of the agiCe
ment or Its friends It is difficult to
see how the senate can reach a vote
I.eforo adjournment.
Ahead of the Canadian agreemtrit
for consideration , in addition to ten
general appropriation bills , are iuca -
ures affecting the popular election of
hcnntors , the Senator 1 Airliner case ,
the permanent , tariff hoard , general
age pensions , the congressional appor
tionment and the fortification of t1 j
Panama canal.
Not one of these can bo sidetracked
without a contest. Haqk of each 1 * a
group of determined senators insistent
that n vote shall bo taken before , ad
journment. Some of the measures
must be left unpasseil or the Canadian
agreement will die. There Is not titm1
enough for aUj.
