Mill In a lecture re cently before the Royal Meteorological society. Germany is gradually dismantling her old-time fortresses. The old fortifica tions of Mainz and of Cologne have been torn down and now it is the turn of TJlm, in whose old tower the capitu lation of 1805 took place. Part of the walls' of Metz have disappeared, and at Tbionville they are tearing down Vau ban's famous ramparts. Enthusiastic- Philadelphia Republi cans are building a ball twenty feet in diameter .upon which) will be a- painted e map of the world and designs Illus trating the achievements of the Re publican party. It is poposed to take It to Erie at the time of the State meet ing of Republican clubs and have it rolled from there diagonally across the State to Philadelphia, one Republican club after another rolling It from town to town. f St. Augustine, Florida, has an oddity Jn the way of Industrial machinery in the shape of a water power wheel driv en by an artesian well, the only wheel of thQ, kind In America. It supplies powdV to a woodworking shop. The wheel Is sixteen feet In diameter, the well six and one-half inches and 240 feet deep. . Since the Well does not supply power enough, however, a second well has been driven near by to reinforce the present one. The new well is eight Inches In diameter. It will surprise most people to read that the jinrlkisha Is not a Japanese in vention. It was the notion of an American named Goble, who was cob bler, peddler and missionary In Yokoha ma, long ago. He was an honest and good man, it is eaid, and designed the Vehicle for his frequent travels In the country, and the first one was made by " a Japanese blacksmith "either in Kawasaki or Fujisawa," writes an old resident In the Kobe Chronicle. The Japanese Immediately accepted the Jinrlkisha, but it was long before the foreigners took It up. According to the Philadelphia Ledger, George "W. Guthrie, the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, was asked the other day if he could suggest a single logical issue upon which William Jennings Bryan might again come before the people as a candidate for President. He replied that Bryan never had but one issue, and that his position was exactly that of a negro fish peddler Mr. Guthrie once encountered In Pittsburg. The peddler was urging his horse along with cruel blows from a heavy stick, andTall the time crying at the top of his voice, "Herein! Her-rin'! Get yo fresh her rin'J" Mr. Guthrie, wishing to save the horae, stopped the peddler and asked, J'Have you no1 mercy, fellow?" "Nope!" -was the reply, "nothln" 'cept herrin'!" V r . When the excursion train from Paris filled with negroes, bound for the camp meeting, reached this city, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, it passed the station and went through Cynthiana at a .rate of about twenty-five miles an hour, the idea being to keep the crowd on board until the arrival at the grounds at the Falmouth Pike crossing. Just before reaching Pike street a negro man Jumped from the train. Of course, the momentum of the cars carried him along at a terrific pace. His body was going so fast that his legs could not possibly keep up, but they made a val iant effort to do so, and such a lickety- 1 split a negro never cut before. He gal loped across the gutter at Pike street at a tremendous speed, barely missed a telephone pole, flew up into the air, turned a couple of somersaults, and , landed all in a heap in the middle, of the street. His eyes were as big as saucers and seemed to pop out. As he slowly ' gathered himself together his trousers were spilt, his knees were bruised and bleeding, his arms were wrenched, his coattails were in tatters, and his batter ed stiff hat was mashed down right over : his ears. At that moment a negro girl who knew him came along. "Why, how do you do, Mr. Hopkins?" she exclaim ed. "Why, how do you do?" he an- swered, in deep, calm notes, with care fully measured accent "How do you do? You are looking quite we-we-well. I Just stepped off the train to meet you." A BlT.l, BVSKAMt-ltEATrn. There are many "new women" in Kansas and some new men. One of the new men has Just applied to the courts for release from his wife, who has been treating him with intolerable cruelty. In his petition he tells how his wife was wont to become enraged and swear at him and then strike him with her brutal fists. Patiently he bore with these bursts of temper, hoping against hope that she would do better in the future, but the outbreaks became more frequent, the blows fell oftener with preater fierceness, his tears and pa tience grew less effective, and at last he fled in terror and took refuge in the borne of his parents. An example should be made of this Kansas husband-beater. When a gen tle, trusting man marries a woman he gives up much for her sake, and he is entitled to be loved and cherished. When Instead of love and kindness cuffs and kicks are his portion the law should step in and show the brutal wife that there is a limit to the sufferings a husband Is obliged to endure. KBXABKS BY TUB K4ST BOSS. When Senator Piatt of New York talks he is apt to say something. This is what he says about the action of the New York Republicans at their State convention next month: The platform which will be adopted by the State con vention next month will contain a very warm Indorsement of the administra tion of President Roosevelt, but it will not declare for his renominatlon In 1904. The platform will contain a plank on the subject of trusts, but at this time it is impossible to say how this will be worded. No one knows how far the platform will go on this subject, but the matter Is receiving the considera tion that its importance deserves. I cannot say that the platform will go as far on this subject as the President has gone in the speeches he has been mak ing In New England. When it is remembered that the Re publicans of Pennsylvania, Iowa. Kan sas, and other States where conventions have been held have declared for the reriomlnation bf President Roosevelt the significance of Boss Piatt's remark that New York wfll not do it is very significant. TBB TRESIS. The contribution of U. M. Rose, pres ident of the American Bar Association, to the trust discussion is as Interesting and perhaps as important as any that haa been made. He isn't as hopeful about the situation as some are, but perhaps that is because he knows more about it than some do. Mr. Rose re views the history of monopolies-since before the days of Pharaoh. He shows that for the fifty monopolies which op pressed the people under Queen Eliza beth we have "more than 4,000, to say nothing of price and rate fixing and profit sharing pools, all organized for the purpose of fixing prices arbitrarily." He recalls that the Greek, the Roman and the English common law all prohib ited monopolies, in spite of which mo nopolies existed. He points out that the most drastic state legislation in this country instancing that of South Car olina, which Is fiercer, if anything, than the laws of Missouri and Texas has been powerless to curb the trusts. He discusses President Roosevelt's propos ed remedy of publicity and doubts its effectiveness, because the science of "flexible bookkeeping" has gone so far that reports of the corporations would not reveal things which the managers wished to keep secret. The proposition to amend the Constitution Mr. Rose re gards as "a very drastic remedy indeed, one that would greatly strengthen the lobby, one that might introduce an era of political corruption hitherto un known." Tariff reduction, Mr. Rose thinks, would have an excellent effect in limiting the control of prices by those trusts whose wares it affected, although the relief wfould necessarily be partial. If the trusts need restraint, and if there isn't ' a strong probability that they can be adequately dealt with by law, where are we? CA If DO B VS I A If as. The evidence Is increasing that there Is business in the negro, and that the negro is in business. The meeting of the National Negro Business League at Richmond, Virginia, last week was very encouraging to those who believe that the negro has soul enough In him to do business successfully. Some very interesting stories of business effort and success were told by members of the League. For Instance, that of A. C. Howard, a young colored man who not many years ago was running as. a por ter in a Pullman car out of Chicago. Of an inventive turn of mind, he began to experiment in the making of shoe blacking, succeeding in a year or so in producing a satisfactory article. The porter went on running, and in his lay- offs in Chicago made blacking and sold it until he had saved $180. With this as a capital he embarked in business life as a manufacturer of shoe-polish. That was less than six years ago. Now it takes three teams to supply the trade In Chicago alone with his shoe-polish. Last year a Mexican firm placed an an nual contract for six hundred gross of It, and a New York firm has Just order ed two hundred and fifty gross for for eign shipment. Mr. Howard and sixteen other negro business men who went to Richmond from Chicago were not troubled by the color line. They went in a special Pull man car chartered by them for the trip, and as there is a good negro hotel in Richmond they had no difficulty In find ing hotel accommodation there. "Sulking to Arbitrate." Devout and truly pious are we men of solid worth. To whom Almighty God has given the full ness or tue eartu. Infinity ot wisdom He displayed In doing thus; And we cannot help loving him, because Ho so loved ug. We'll guard tbe rishts and Interests of every working man And see that he earus all lie gets, according to uou s Diau. But when the worker proves himself a thankless, hasp imrrate And goes on strike for higher pay, we will not arbitrate. The mines of coal and Iron by our title deeds are held. Likewise the bouuuless forests where the giant trees are felled. On oil fields and on eoppcr beds we have a sturdy grip; Of nature's bounties, very few have given us the sib. We are tbe chosen people of this highly favored laud. We hold Its business Interests In the hollow of one hand. Consumers need our product, while our workmen Idly 'wait But we stand on our privilege, aod will not arbitrate. We own. the steel laid highways that cross forest, iilnlu and vale; Don't ask how we acquired them, for that's another tale. We must confess our methods have been sometimes very wurni, But God moves In mysterious ways. His wonders to serform. The farmers ou the prairies, who their mortgaged acres till, The tollers who grind out their lots In city shop and mill. Pay tribute on our watered stock, and we with pride elate Will take and keep all we can get, but will not arbitrate. We have a elnch !n polities, that's worth a mine In cold; Good conies to those who love God now, as In the days of old. Comparing cost and product, we've tbe cheapest labor known; Our exports vie with foreign goods In every clime and zone. The tariff laws enable ns to sell our wares at home For better prices than we get where rivals freely come. The people think they'd surely starve If taxed at lower rate. If they are pleased to have It so, why need we arbitrate? The people are dead easy, when you stand on their blind side They let us bit and saddle them, and then we mount and ride, Cronchlng like Issaehar, they between their burdens cower; But like old Oershom, they will kick If once they learn their power. They might claim" labor's product as Its only Just reward; Our snap seems far too good to last; In crease our faith. O Lord. Remember now Thy chosen few, and save ns from our fate That threatens when the people rise, and will not arbitrate. "J. K. Rudyard," In Brooklyn Eagle. C l it US.

A Georgia hostess, entertaining a large party of her guests in her planta tion home, expected an English lord on a night train. While her Jet black "George Washington" served her Amer ican guests admirably, he had had no experience with English titles. Therefore, considering a little instruc tion necessary, Mrs. G proceeded to give it, as follows: "George, Lord C will be here for breakfast in the morning, and you must pass your tray to him first, and say, 'My Lord, will you have so and so?' " After going through the formula sev eral times George was dismissed, look ing more than usually self-important. When breakfast was announced George was In his place, his face shin ing like polished ebony and his eyes like full moons. When the guests were seat ed George hesitated a moment, then made a dash at the guest of honor with his tray, and burst out: "Good God A'mighty, will you hab some o' dis?" Current Literature. THE SENUSSI MAHDL Death of the Leader of a Powerful Reli gious and Military Fraternity. The death of the Sheikh Mohammed es-Senussi is an event of some impor tance. Senussi was the acknowledged head of a powerful semi-religious, semi mllitary confraternity, whose head quarters were In the Borku oasis of the Sahara, but whose influence extended from Morocca te Mecca and from Lake Chad to Darfur. The founder of the sect, who preached a return to the "primitive doctrines" of the Koran, was Mohammed Sidi, father of the Sheikh whose death is now announced. Mo phet, through Fatma, gained a great reputation in Fez, some seventy years ago for canctity. He performed the pil grimage to Mecca and afterwards founded a convent at Alexandria. His doctrines not finding favor with the Sheikh ul-Islam, Mohammed Sidi re tired to the Libyan Desert. At first he settled near Bengazi, in the peninsula of Barea, afterwards removing to Jera bub, near the oasis bf Slwa. At Jera bub he gathered together a large fol lowing, and when he died, in or about 1860, the Senussi organization was firm ly established. His son, who cherished bitterly anti-Christian feelings, had largely extended the power of the brotherhood, which now has converts scattered all over North Africa. Dur ing the seventies he removed into the Sahara to the oasis of Kufra and en tirely closed the desert to European travelers. He acquired a predominant influence over the ancient Sultanate of Wadai, which he prevented from falling under the sway of Mohamet Ahmed, the Suran Mahdi. With the Mahdi's move ment Senussi would have nothing to do, and he contemptuously rejected Mo hamet Ahmed's offer to make him (Senussi) one of his khalifas, or lieu tenants. About the time of the Fashoda crisis the Senussi Sheikh made an important movement southwest into the Tripoli hinterland. When, in March, 1S99, the Anglo-French agreement defining our respective spheres of action In North Central Africa was made, it was found that tha Senussi country lay entirely within the French sphere. For a time the campaign against Rabeh kept th French fully engaged , but last year the forces of the French and the Senussi came into conflict in Kanem, the king dom in which the Senussi is reported to have died. For many years the follow ers of the Senussi had spoken of their Sheikh as El Mahdi "the guided one," who is expected to complete the work left unfinished by the Prophet and from the reports which have reached France of the fighting in Kanem it would appear that the Senussists have proclaimed a "holy war." It Is, how ever, impossible as yet to estimate the strength of tha Senussi army, or wheth er the brotherhood intends at this time seriously to challenge the advance of the French. At present, the Colonial ministry in Paris has given orders for all aggressive military movements to ceaes. Judging from past experience it might be expected that the Senussi would remain quiescent If left alone. They have, however, largely extended their influence westward during the past two years, Kanem, which lies northeast of Lake Chad, belncr the last country to fall under their sway. In 1S9!, when Kanem was traversed by the Foureau-Lamy and Joilland missions, it was free from Senuissism. Since then Mohammed es-Senussi and the Sultan of Wadal have placed themselves In closer relations with the Sultan of Tur key, and through the vilayet of Tripoli there exists a safe and easy means of communication and of Importing war like stores. If the new head of the brotherhood who will be either a son or brother of the Sheikh Just deceased were to choose to begin an active cam paign he would not lack for men, mon ey or munitions and the Arabs of the Sahara are among the finest fighters In the world. Not only would the French position on Lake Chad be threatened, hammed Sidi, a descendant of the Pro but aalso It might be found that the newly established British posts In Bor nu would be in danger. Indeed, the whole of North Africa might be In volved in the conflict. Nothing Is known of the personality of the Senussi leaders, and this ignorance greatly adds to the perplexity of the situation.
