The speed of the earth in its orbit is foar times as great, declares Hudson Maxim, in the Independent If, there fore, the interplanetary space of our solar system were to be filled with an explosive mixture capable of being de tonated and consumed with the speed of dynamite, and if this were to be set off Jast behind the earth in its orbit, the earth would not feel it, but would rapidly rush away from the wave of explosion, pass clear around the sun. and come back again to meet it more than six months later. It would take early a year for such a detonative wave to reach our sun 'from the earth. If the earth Itself were a ball of dyna mite, it would require half an hour to 1 explode; and If the sun were a mass of dynamite, it would require about two and a half days to explode. New Customs Regulations. With a view to securing greater courtesy and dignity in the adminis tration o' the customs laws, the treas dry department has issued a series of instructions to inspectors, copies of which will be furnished to each pas senger on incoming steamers from for eign countries. For the purpose of customs administration, passengers are divided into non-residents of the United States and residents. This classification has no reference to citi zenship. Non-residents are of three classes: actual residents of foreign countries; persons who have been abroad with a fixed foreign abode for one year or more, who elect to declare as non-residents, and "persons who have been' abroad' for two years, with or without a fixed place of .- foreign abode, who elect to declare as non-res!-' dents. Besidents, include all', others. There is no, limit to thea value of arti cles which non-residents may bring in free af 4laty, explain the Youth's Com panion, providedpt6y are articles ac tually accompanying" the passenger, and necessary, andfappropriate for his or her use for the 'purposes of the journey and present comfort and con venience, ,and not', intended, for other persons or for- .sale. ' Residents may bring in all wearing apparel and other personal effects which they took abroad with them, if not remodeled abroad to the value of $100, if the arti cles are not 'for sale. Under the new regulations passengers are not re quired to make oath to their declara tions. The offer of a bribe or a "tip" to a customs officer will continue to be held as a violation of the law. The cottage in East Hampton, Long Island, where John Howard Payne lived as a boy when his father was principal of Clinton academy in the village, will be preserved for many years to come. Its site is needed to make room for a new church, and the cottage was in danger of destruction. An admirer of "Home, Sweet Home" has bought the building it Is more than 200 years old and will move it to another site and remodel its in terior for use as a summer home. The outside will be unchanged, so that those may be gratified who wish to see the place which Payne had in mind when he wrote, "Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home." After all, it was not shocked mod esty on the part of King Edward that led him to leave the theater at Ifarlenbad in a huff. In fact, it wasn't the naughty song at all that offended him, but another which seemed to show disrespect to a local abbot who had been his host at a recent dinner. Thus is another beautiful vision of virtuous royalty destroyed. That rich New York young woman who has discarded stockings and other articles of apparel which she deems saperlaoua probably will make some concessions to the Gotham climate a little later in the year. That New York wife who is going to allow her husband to get a divorce be cause he loves another woman may figure that the neatest way to get re venge is to let the other woman have It is estimated that American tour ists took $150,MMO8 to Europe this sanuaer.

" j" Under the judiciary acto entitle a party to remove on the ground of diversity of citizenship th're must be a-'controversy between citizens of dif ferent states. A state is not a dti zen,( within the meaning of the Judi ciary act, but" it karguedthat as the state has no interest in'the contro versy which entttleV'lt to maintain the'action, therefore, if ira.mere nom inal party, "v? r "We have just held in the case of the 'State of "Nebraska against the Board of. .' Railway. .. Commissioners against the ,Caicaga, Burlington as Quincj, railroad, brought in the su preme 'court of the state "for a like purpose "and "'removed to ,this, opnrt, that the action was a removable one on the ground' of .diverse citizenship for the reason that the state, though named as a party complainant, had not such an interest as' entitled it to maintain the action .and hence was a mere nominal party, and that thecal, controversy, was between the hoard af railway commissioners, authorized to TPfttntain the action, and the rail; road company. In this case, if there is a controversy at all. it is between the state and the express company. Whether or not such a controversy zko. be maintained by the state it is unnecessary for us. to decide. We are only to determine whether or not there is a -controversy between citi zens of different states Finding there '& no such controversy the case is not -emovable on the ground of diversity af citizenship. "Without the emergency clause the !aw did not go into' effect until July S, it is contended, and that the defen dants were not required to put the re duced rates into effect until thirty jays thereafter; that the action be ing brought on the 5th of July was prematurely brought and therefore presents a federal question. We can not agree to this contention. The mere fact that an action is premature ly brought cannot be said to present a federal question within the mean ing of the judiciary act. If that should ibe so in a case of, this character it would be so in every action brought by one individual against another pre maturely to recover on a promissory note or other cause of action. "For the reasons given, the motion to remand is sustained and the case remanded to the supreme court of the state." 4 State 'Wants Pension Money.". JThe board of public lands-. and buildings is considering the adoption oi a'rule that will' compel members of the soldiers' homes who receive -more than $12 a month to pay a per centage of their pensions to the cash funds of the homes. Until recently very few soldiers received -more than? $12 a month pension.-but now many receive 'more. The policy of -the hoard! was to permit pensioners' who re ceived $12 a month to retain all 'the pension money, but to pay to the home all in excess of that amount. As few received more than that the payments to the home have been very smalL Governor Sheldon was not en tirely in favor of the proposed rule, but it received considerable support from Land Commissioner Eaton, Sec retary of State Junkin, Attorney Gen eral Thompson and Treasurer Brian. The rule which appeared to meet with favor from a majority is as follows: "All who are members of the home at the time of the adoption of these rules, or who may hereafter become such, who are receiving or who may hereafter receive a pension in excess of $12 and not more than $19, shall pay into the cash found of the home 1C per cent of the amount; $20 and not more than $23, 20 per cent; $24' and not more than $28, 30 per cent. In cases where any member is receiv ing $30 or more, he shall pay such an amount as the commandant and the board may deem just. . High School Qualify. State Superintendent McBrien is re quiring pupils of high schools who take the normal training course-to pledge themselves that they will com plete the course. The law requires them to remain in class eighteen weeks and there must be ten in a class. Each high school that qualifies will receive from the state $350 a year. Some of the schools that have qualified and the number in the class are as follows: Holdrege, 44; Lex ington, 34; Hebron, 30; Geneva, 29; Hastings, 21; North Platte, 24; West .Point, 13; Wisner, 18; Fairfield, 12; Superior, 15. Fire Protection at State House. The old state house couldn't burn now if it wanted to. The water has been turned on in the new anti-fire pipes and the hose is all ready for a conflagration. This was all done out of the appropriation made by the leg islature last winter. Incidentally the building has settled two or three in ches since the session. Several days ago a creaking and cracking and groaning was heard in Superintendent McBrien'a office and the plaster popped over the door and the loor dropped at least a fraction of an inch. Vacancy in Legislature. Lancaster county has a vacancy in Its legislative delegation, the Hon. Joseph Burns, state senator, has moved to Colorado, and at the pri maries no one lied as a candidate and no application has been made 'to Gov ernor Sheldon to include the filling of the vacancy, in his election proclama tion. Senator Burns has been missed front his favorite haunts for a long time and It developed that he had moved to Colorado, there to look after a young fortune he is tending By .S'KMWMai MEN PIAN t , AFRICAN EMPIRE language: ?riw question involved in this ease ' TT.

' "The fact that the suit is1 brought .in the name of the state does not de termine whether or not the state' la really a party in interest, Judge Monger then quotes fronvnu merous opinions in state and federal courts bearing on this question and on -the one referring to the point of pecuniary interest.the state may have in ' the controversy. Analyzing var ious cases, Judge Hunger finds that they are not wholly analogous to the one in controversy, as in each case cited by the attorney general, the state had some sort of actual Inter est; either of 'property, or .tor.enercise police power in direct prosecution or suit for penalties. "It Is' also contended that in case of doubt, it is the duty of the court to remand the case to the' state court. This is not the rule of the circuit court of appeals for this circuit. "But no doubt is entertained that the state of Nebraska in this case has no real interest as an artificial per son and therefore the motion to re mand will be overruled." I State University Again at Work. Students are coning in and the largest attendance in the history "of the institution is registered. From the registration so far it ap pears that 'the engineering depart ments are the' chief attraction 'for men at the university. There has been 'a 'decided gain in engineering courses ever the attendance last year. The forestry department also shows an in-' crease. The academic college seems to prove a less and less attraction every, year for the men who come to college, and this year has been no exception. The women still outrank the men five to one in this depart ment. This year they have taken more than usual interest in the scien tific courses, and here -the ratio be tween, the sexes promises to be much less than, it was a year ago, Last year the academic college was attend; ed by 1,039 students, and .the. indus trial by 1.0SC. There was.about an equal number of men and women in the two, taken together, but the .in dustrial had a large majority of men, while the academic drew a large share oi the women. The 'schools of musio and fine arts registered mere than 600-, students last year,-and only about 3 per cent were men.- This year will show about the same ratio. Appraising Western Land. Western county boards are .busy apr praisng the state lands for leasing purposes, and when, the report of. Per kins county, which was the first .to ar rive, reached Land Commissioner Eaton 'he was surprised at the man ner in which- land values of .that county had taken to the toboggan slide. He had heard of land values for Perkins county as high .as .$15 per acre and none lower than $5. But the county commissioners informed him that the school land was worth only from 40 cents to $2 per acre, most of it being listed at 50 cents.' The commissioner will reject this appraise ment He refuses to believe the land has had such a drop in value because of good crops. and plenty of moisture. Other western counties are being apprased, and the commissoner is awaiting their figures with consider able interest. He wonders whether other county commissioners will be willing to put such a blot upon the land prices In their counties. Government Janitor Discharged. John H. Leckliter, janitor of the federal building, is said to have re ceived a discharge from the govern ment to take effect September 30, but his friends are moving to have him re instated. As the position is a civil service job' a discharge must be for cause'. Mr. Leckliter was serving his six months probationary period. At the end of that time a recommenda tion for reappointment is necessary to enable the applicant to hold his place. In the case of Mr. Leckliter it is understood that he not only failed to get a recommendation from Custo dian Burgess but that his discharge .was recommended. ; '-. 2 Railroad Men Explain. C. E. Spens general freight agent of the Burlington and General Super intendent Byram of the same road, called on the railway commission. They discussed classification and talked of a .complaint filed by John G.- Hengen of Crete concerning' an 'al leged overcharge on a car of lumber' from Clearmont Miss., to Crete. The defense of the road is that the two local tariffs were added together as permitted by the interstate com merce commission. Work In Campaign. Senator Burkett left for Washing ton to aid Mrs. Burkett in getting lo cated so that the children can start into school. He will return to Lincoln shortly to take part in the fall cam paign wherever he can be of service. Food Commissioner -J. W. Johnson is sending notice to meat packers, meat dealers and all. persons selling' meat for use In Nebraska containing a warning' about the sale of short weight packages or packages which are not branded with the net weight AMMTMHIS SCHEME IN WHICH NEW YORK MILLIONAIRES WILL INVEST MONEY. FAITftEIS OF A MOWAICH -r Thatnaa T. Ryan, James D. Stillman, ' John.D. Rockefeller, 'Jr., and Oth- ' era- Have Joined King Leopold in Effort to Open Up Dark Continent and Incidentally 'to Turn Their Millions Into Billions. New York. In the heart ofvEqua-torial- Africa a group of New York I milllonarles has acquired an empire. i Oat of this empire, representing in direct and indirect control a region of 1CC.M aaaare miles, they expect to increase their millions, perhaps to turn them into billions. The menwho are exploiting this untrodden wilderness of forest, moun tain, jungle and morass are Thomas F. Ryan. James D. Stillman, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., H. P; Whitney, B. B. Aldrich and the Guggenheim brothers. Other names have been mentioned. In cluding those of J. P. Morgan. Thomas F. Walsh and Anthony N. Brady, who may own stock in the two great com panies which have been formed, hut they are not directors in either and have taken no active 'part in their or ganization. These men have as partners Leo pold, king of the Belgians, and a few Belgian financiers. Their empire- is in 'the heart of the Congo Free State; In fact it stretches almost across its greatest breadth, from east to west, and consists of be tween 8,000,000 and 9,000,000 acres, or, roughly speaking, an area about .the size of New Hampshire and Ver-. mont Over this they have powers which are virtually absolute. Nom inally the Congo courts have jurisdic tion over the territory and it is gov erned by the laws of the Congo, but actually these Americans are its mas ters. They have the right to police it and the terms of their concession impose this upon them as a duty. They may employ native labor or may import coolies or Americans, just as they like, but there is no doubt they will employ natives. Project Originally Hammond's. King Leopold secretly sold these Americans this concession some months ago. Mr. Ryan is not a man who is in the habit of going into gi gantic transactions without knowledge of what he is doing or without some definite assurance that he will reap a substantial profit from his investment The man who advised him that there was big money to be made in the Congo was John. Hayes Hhmmond, the famous engineer, who had looked Central America over in a general way and who knew the vast mineral wealth that lay hidden in its immemorial rocks." He had traveled through its forests of rubber .trees, . ebony, ma hogany and other valuable woods, and he knew that, even if the gold, the copper, the sliver should not pan out as he expected, there was enough money to be made out of the rubber and the wood to reward handsomely the men who should open up the coun try. Upon his report, supported by the reports of other experts, Mr. Ryan BttttKBiMQg0M BBnVn? was I anT AttKr anV ffir I Ssjri!'riSnn LnmnY I Map of Western Africa Showing the 166,000 Miles of Territory Controlled by .the American Syndicate Through Concession and Stock Ownership. accepted the suggestion of the king of the Belgians that he take a long lease' of this vast territory. Of course it is something of a gam ble, for the American explorers are going into what is virtually unknown country, and the difficulties, sanitary, engineering, economical, etc., may prove so great that they will not im mediately make any profits. But-the odds are so heavily in their favor that the chance was well worth, taking. The crown domain, which is a large part of the Congo, returns at a con servative estimate a profit of at least $700,000 a year, and almost all of this Is from rubber, the minerals being virtually untouched. So Mr. Ryan and his associates have every reason to hope for-large profits. Exact Investment Unknown. The exact amount .they are. invest ing in the Congo is difficult to' ascer tain, but it is known that they paid King 'Leopold $1,500,009 for 'the con cession, and that he and the Belgian stockholders retain a substantial block of stock in the Societe Internationale Forestiere et Mlnere du Congo, one of the companies they have formed. The EDUCATING HORSES FOR WAR. Enormous Sums Spent by the Nations of the World. From the earliest times the horse has been a poteat factor in war, and today his education Is a delicate and serious matter, undertaken at great expense hy all the nations of the world, says a writer In the Circle Hag- "trlT Censam-r mH m. milltoi horana for cavalry and artillery to put her I colossal forces in the field;, France ro- , fx" kik A jZ? 4sV X m w nV mi Jmm uunuuultw - I Mm 'r' B I T sfS ' ' '"ca -aM ,,r ' I l;JfcU , jQflfl i iAsssnuW nuasBBBflnr JzsTjyGsBnnanua' m 'arv. ra m Thomas F. Ryan.' other company is the American Congo company; justvhow the shares in this are allotted is not yet known. Be sides these companies there are the two great Belgian 'corporations which have had enormous concessions for many .years; these are the Anglo-Belgian, India Rubber company and the Katanga company. In both of these the . Americans have bought large blocks of stock -enough to secure a .dominating influence. The former has a .concession for 25,009 square miles, the latter for an area averaging 429 miles long by 399 miles wide. These latter companies are Im mensely profitable. They collect the taxes and police their own territory, and the methods used by some of their employes in collecting the taxes, which are paid in rubber have sup plied the enemies of King Leopold with ammunition for their campaign. Whatever truth there may be in the stories of "atrocities" must -be laid at the door of these concessionaries. Their experience with the natives as workers will be valuable to the Amer icans, as the latter will have precisely the same conditions to meet and have almost as plenary powers as their forerunners.- ' These powers have been curtailed within.,a year, as a re sult of the abuses which a Belgian commission discovered. The conces sionaires have been forbidden, for .in stance, to use armed native sentries or armed overseers. Difficulties in the Way. The great difficulty ahead of Mr. Ryan's men is the improvidence and savagery of the natives upon' whom they will have to rely to do the work. Money means notVng to them. They must be paid, at any rate at first, in something they can use such as cot ton, beads or knives, and it is the in tention of the Americans to furnish the natives with food, and lodging as a return for their labor. But it is ex ceedingly difficult to persuade these men to labor at all. They tare noth ing for the development of the coun try, preferring to live by hunting, fishing-and gathering the fruits and nuts with which nature, has supplied them so bounteously. Many of them are canibals still and would practice their gruesome rites if it were not for their dread of the stern punishment .that, is meted out to any who may be caught eating human, flesh. This is made a crime by the laws of the Congo and is punishable by death. Cannibalism has been stamped out of the parts of the Congo along the coast and the banks of the great rivers, but there is no -doubt that it still flourishes in the wilds of the interior, where are situ ated the concessions of the American millioniares. To induce these natives to work, the Belgians devised a plan by which' each man is taxed an amount of rub ber each other day that a careful cal culation estimates should be collected in 40 hours. For this he is paid at the market rate. Some such system as this which the missionaries in, the employ of Congo Reform association persistently call "slavery" will have to be adopted by the Americans. Rockefeller, Jr., Interested. The American Congo company was formed especially for dealing in rub ber. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., ia in terested In this company and plans to apply a newly discovered process to the manufacture of rubber. The So ciete Internationale is to exploit the mineral resources and it Is this in which the Guggenheims are interest ed. This latter company's engineers are now in the Congo making a sur vey. The party ia in charge of A. Chester Beatty, an associate of John Hays Hammond; with S. P. Verner. Dorsey Mohun and L. N. Boll. They quires probably 750,000, aad even Great Britain has needed as many as 230,000 In her serious predicameat in South Africa while she was fighting the Boers. Although England in peace time mounts only two-thirds of her cavalry, her horse hill amounts to about $400. Off a year a figure which may he multiplied by four or five for the Ger man army.

MAMMMMMVMMMMMMW-WM m0Mmm00m0WW started last spring and it is their task to make the preliminary surveys for a complete geological survey of -the region. The concession was granted on con ditions that make certain, the immedi ate opening; of the country. The Americans must open 39 miles within six years, and they are to have the ex clusive right to the product of 29 of these for 99 years. Copper and gold are the minerals they expect to find in the greatest quantities. Gold has been found in rich deposits in the adjaceat British and French territory, and the same veins run into the Congo. The ex istence of copper, all ready to he mined, has long been known. Plan to Benefit Natives. It is the plan of these Americana whom King Leopold has interested in his African territory to treat the na tives on a plan that differs slightly from that of the Belgian concession aires. They will start plantations of bananas, peanuts and all the other fruits, grains and vegetables, for which the climate is adapted; they will develop the fisheries of the great rivers and employ the natives to can the products of -both. They will at first supply the" natives with every thing they need, including food and lodging, and pay them in beads and trinkets, gradually teaching them the use of money as a trading medium. They will have to start schools aBd hospitals, and here Mr. Ryan will find wide scope for his philanthropy, al though the field is not virgin soil, for the priests and nuns of several re ligious orders are already in there and have doae much splendid work among the natives. Thus it is that New York million aires are at work exploiting alto gether about 166,000 square miles of African jungle, surveying virgin for est, boring into unknown mountains, building roads and railroads through trackless wildernesses and exercising absolute "sovereignty -over- millions of naked man-eating savages, with a rea sonable prospect, whether they strike mineral wealth or miss it. of raisine their millions tot the billion mark. - LIKE SHEETS OF ICE. 1 Were Bed Coverings of Visitor in Eng- ' , lish .Country Heme. The old-fashioned glazed chintz. Which in the Victorian era was for so ling a period in favor as a covering for the English drawing room sofas and .'chairs, is now. very fashionable in this country, .especially for bed rooms. This chintz is generally a large floral pattern, on a white ground, and will last for years if properly cleaned and "calendered," a word' unfamiliar to most American ears, although in England calendering is a usual pro cess in every household, many house keepers using it for their beautiful linen sheets, which makes them dread fully cold and slippery! It is done by a mangle that burnishes the material with a glaze, and for chintzes and table napery may be appropriate, but for sheets, except in torrid weather, it Is anything but comfortable. "I shall never forget," said an American girl, speaking of calender ed sheets, "visiting at a country house in England, where in zero weather they gave me polished sheets of ice, for that is what they felt like! I shivered for an hour or more, unable to sleep, and I took them off and slept in the blankets. I was afraid that the housemaid would consider that it was an American aboriginal habit, so I made up the bed again in the morn ing, pressing it down as if It had been slept in. This I did evry day for my week's stay, as I shall always remem ber those calendered linen sheets with amusement, fancying my hostess' feelings if she had seen me at work night and morning." She Said the Wrong Thing. "I shall never forget the breakfast I gave to a pretty girl when I first knew her," the short man began. "It would make your mouth water to hear what it was. Grape fruit to begin with, the most delicate of breakfast food, with cream, a choice broiled chicken, a small champagne cup with it it was a late breakfast the finest of fruit, coffee. I can't remember the things I ordered for her at that breakfast and what do you think she said when she finished? She said: 'You needn't have gone to so much trouble. I don't care for anything but a couple of eggs for my breakfast and a piece of toast "It was the wrong thing to say, I will admit," sighed his wife. "I was that girl aad I have been living ever since on a couple of eggs for my breakfast and a piece of toast."' this anything from 130,000 to $150,000 a year may be paid by a military na tion. France spends upward of 1600,600 a year on horses for her great armies. As a general rule, the recruits are five years old and cost 200 each.
