There is very little movement in the North or West to take in any part of the sugar bounty the coming; year. The ap plications have all to be filed before the lirst of July, and they are comparatively few even in the maple sugar districts. Perhaps the honest Vermonters are too high minded to accept from the govern ment, a bounty on a business already abundantly profitable. This, if the fact, is likely to wear away as the processes of reaching the additional profit become familiar. The beet sugar industry is still too infantile to absorb much of this sort of nourishment. It is computed that more than nine-tenths of the" boun ty will go to to the can« sugar growers in Louisiana, and that the aggregate for the coming year will hardly fall below 815,000.000. A late New Or leans paper says the planters are ail coming forward to file their applications, and the crop is expected to respond to the munificent fostering given it. Some of the more extensive planters will pocket from (25*000 to $150,000 from this source. They will receive from the government nearly one-half the selling price of their product. This is a process calculated to induce cheerful among the recip ients. It would be "agin human natur'" not to look kindly on the hand that feeds so bountifully. There may be politics evolved from the thing. If those Louisiana people are persuaded that they are indebted to the Republican party for their ten or twelve millions of bounty, their gratitude may find ex pression in the ballot boxes. That state may possibly not be not quite sure for the Democrats next year. Then there will be a big force of government agents to look after the sugar, weigh it and pro vide for the payment. These will all be Republican workers, and the sac charine element may get into politics. There will be hesitancy in taking all the bounty, and possibly they will gteatly enlarge the area of production in order to get more of it. There was an oversight evidently in not takiug the tinware business into the bounty list. It is alleged that the new tariff is only about half high enough to give birth to the industry. A bounty would perhaps cover the rest. The farmers, too, who are devising schemes to secure financial fostering from the govern ment, may have overlooked the direct and tangible methods. Sometimes wool does not sell as high as desired in spite of the tariff duties. Why not pay the wool men 25 or 30 per cent of the market price in bounty? So with wheat, corn and other productions. Peaches can be grown in Minnesota and bana nas in Dakota if there is sufficient en couragement in this way. Of course, it will not do to confine the bounties to the products of the soil. The claims will be as good for other classes. Let the government make all happy and prosperous by paying them additional profits on their productions or transac tions. If the system is good for one class, where is the limitation? ■ ONE OF ITS INCIDENTS. - The decision of the Philadelphia jury recently in favor of some importers for $032.40 was a trilling affair in. itself, but may be a rodent with a long tail. • The importers claimed that their material for hat trimmings should pay but 20 per cent duty, while tue government in sisted upon and collected 50 percent. The case will go to the supreme court, and if the action of the jury is sus tained it is alleged that the other claims covered by it will amount to from twenty to thirty million dollars. This would be an ' uncomfortable little sum for Secretary Fosteu to meet out of the treasury as it is now. It will furnish i I another illustration, of the beaut of the late tarifl legislation. It will not be insisted by any rational person that the sellers ot the articles on the other side of the water paid the duties. They were added to the cost of the goods by the importers, and the consumers paid them. If they are to be refunded to the importers out of the treasury those who paid the first time will have a share in the second payment. They cannot recover from the importers the erroneous duty. But it will be a big thing for the importers. The good John- Waxamakkk is one of the larg est importers of this class of goods, and will have a big haul out of it. That is the usual way of protectionism. It is like the man in the parable who takes from those who have little and gives to the fellows who have swelling pockets. CANDIDATE GOSSIP. Senator Cai:u<i.k, of Kentucky, has a pleasurable sensation in many Repub lican organisms by his expression of opinion, In a recent interview, that "no one can predict now who will be the Democratic nominee for the presidency in 1892." Similar remarks have come from numerous other Democrats who are prominent in affairs, but have not induced such satisfaction as the state ment of the Kentucky senator, for the reason that the latter has been regarded as in confidential relations with Mr. Cleveland, and especially friendly to him as a possible candidate. It may be easily inferred that it is a relief to Re publican leaders to find the chances for the nomination of Mr. Cleveland les sening. They are in sympathy with the papers and influences in the Demo cratic party in New York that are trying to block the pathway of the ex-president to a nomination. It might be supposed that they feared him as a candidate more than others, if they did not per sistently allege that he had antagonized elements that make him weaker than his party. They are kindly considerate for the welfare of "their friends, the enemy." and would not have a mistake made in the nomination. Mr. Car lisle assumes that the Democrats will foilow th a practice of a considerable time past, in following the leadership of New York, or if that state presents an unacceptable candidate as its choice, going out of that state for a selection. The Republican theory is that Gov. Hill will have the New York delega tion in convention, and in that event, whoever the man is, it will not be Mr. Cleveland. It would be a novel procedure and contrary to the understanding of practical politics to take a candidate from a state opposed to his candidacy. Mr. Car lisle is quite correct. There is doubt as to the choice of New York and the national convention. The only safe averment at present is that New York has but one man who can secure the in dorsement of the national convention. If he is not presented by his state, the fruitful field outside will be enteied and there arc insufficient data at present to warrant prediction' as to the choice. It is believed by some that available ma terial may be found among the Demo cratic governors of Ohio, lowa or Mas sachusetts. They have been Repub lican states and in each of them the in cumbents were so popular that at the last elections they ran ahead of their party and were elected. It is expected that they will all be nominated for re election. One of them may prove to have such local strength as to bring him into the presidential range. Mr. Carlisle anticipates this possibility, but the Republican satis faction does not follow him when he in sists that "unless the situation changes very greatly we can elect any honest and capable Democrat who is nomi nated in 1892." This part of his opinion is quite as worthy of acceptance as the other. The available material is not by any means confined to governors. Leav ing New York, the tendency will be to come West for . a candidate. There need be no uneasiness In the matter. When the time comes for a selection there will be a clearing of the political atmosphere that will direct the vision to the judicious quarter. The elections this year will be important factors in the situation. -•» REFORM REPUBLICANS. A minority of the Republicans in lowa are endeavoring to induce the party to repudiate the Ohio idea, and take a stand for tariff reform. They would have the coming state convention take ground for a speedy reduction of the high duties, and locally recognize the fact that prohibition has had a thorough trial and proved a failure. It is insisted that the party in Illinois, Minnesota and other states has successfully met the temperance question with high license. This they would substitute for prohi bition. Their argument that prohibi tion has become a useless and fatal load for the party to carry, and that they have nothing to gain by trying to hold the votes of that element by consenting to their demands, is rational and sagacious. They are quite sure that the reaction in favor of the Mc- Kinley tariff some claim to have dis cerned in Ohio is not coming West. lowa soil is specially unfavorable to it. They point to 80,000 majority lost in the attempt to carry prohibition and protec tionism, and believe the bottom is far from being reached. But it is not at all likely that this progressive element will have control of the party convention. The campaign will then' be waged by the Republicans on the two planks that have proved so weak and disastrous in the past. It will be perfunctory and dreary work, but it is not the first epi demic of the sort with Republicans, and they may be able to simulate animation in a degree, but the Democrats will have all the advantage in the posses sion of the genuine article. They, have principles, men and the exhilaration of coming success. The campaign will be interesting and lively. — i Tiie Detroit Free Press and papers in some other cities are pressing the point that patrol wagons should be covered "as decently as the milk carts." It is the common impression of observers that the rider in the vehicle has com mitted some disreputable act, while he may only be sick or unfortunate. It is not a wholesome spectacle tor the young at times. A case was mentioned where an innocent looking boy and girl took this conspicuous ride. But an offi cial prejudice seems to be prevalent against obscuring the view of the re luctant riders in the police carriage. **** Cotton is likely to get in the wake of the general exuberance this year and break the record in quantity. In fact, that was done last year, and the prom ise is that it will ; be still larger this year. There was an impression in early times that there could not be much cot ton without slave labor. Time, how ever, corrects mistakes occasionally. .«>. gTiiE Chicago Herald says "the women are making rapid strides." That may be due to the size of the feet reported in Chicago. ... ... . : - ip ■ . As singular as it may seem, there are portions of the vast- area of Chicago J where saloon licenses are not granted. I To rn*s? tills difficulty a system has I been devised " that operates under a TIIE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 26, JB9l. transit license. The vehicle equipped with beer and other beverages goas about to the thirsty and suffering. The traveling saloon may be an important addition to the Chicago industries. , Watteiison, the versatile Kentucky editor, excites curiosity by the' state ment that lie lias known a president who always carried a box of poKer chips on his travels. Cleveland does hot know the game, and it is not believed that Hayes or Hakuison' are in the suspected ranee. Who was it? The recent message of the president of the Argentine republic relates that the 6200,000.000 of paper money issued some months ago for the relief of the' people is now worth but 20 cents on the dollar. The experience there should be worth something to those who think the government credit sufficient basis for currency. , . _ Chicago has probably lost its flying machine, In which it was to invest $20 --000,000, or a few ciphers more or less; but it is reported that some of the wide awake Kansas fellows have taken in the Windy City for a half million on a per petual motion machine. It may be needed, however, to make the other thing fly. _ A St. Louis Republican paper says there is no basis for the apprehension of Southern senators that the force bill will be brought up again. There is no danger from it as long as the Republic ans do ifot have both houses of con gress. "C _ GLOBE TOWER SHOTS. The yarn " runs again that Mrs. John A.

True. And in JSSI the price of domestic wool was 31 cents a pound, and in 1391 It is 20 cents. Cheap wool, cheaper flannel; more tariff, cheaper wool. The Press should feel of its arguments before it uses them, to be certain that they aren't two-edged. FURLONG O^THE TIMES. "Come down to Austin during the races, and we will show you what we can do," said Hon. J. J. Furlong at the Merchants' yester day. ''We have arranged for the best meet ing ever held in Southern Minnesota. And you ought to see the string of horses that have been entered. They are the finest ag gregation that has been gathered together in our section. The event begins July 6 and ends July — a three days' meeting. We have, without exaggeration, the very best naif-mile track west of Chicago, and, with our build ings and grounds, it will make a pretty pict ure. R. E. Shepard, the secretary of the cir cuit, is deserving of great credit. lie is a thorough horseman, and is devoting a great I deal of time and energy to the success of the event." -I- Mr.' Furlong's Innate modesty asserted Itself in according all credit to some one else. He has been president of the associa tion for many years, and the other officers agree that the success of the organization in the past has been largely due to Mr. Fur long's untiring work and his inherent skill in such matters. -I "Yes, I have Just attended a meeting of the state fair managers. Everything is in a hope ful condition now for the most successful fair ever held in the state," pursued Mr. Fur long. "The dairy department will be a rev elation. What gigautic strides this industry has been making in this state the past few years You people who live In the cities have no conception. But I predict that the dairy display at the state fair this fall will open your eyes. -! "The fair ought to be something wonder ful. We now have promise of a harvest that wil! eclipse any ever gathered in the state. It does one good to go through the state and meet the farmers. They are all sanguine and happy. The hay crop may be slightly short but the newly seeded fields of clover and timothy will give a tremendous yield. The shortage will all come from the old fields. I am traveling nearly all the time, you know, and therefore, can speak by the books." -I "What about the Farmers' Alliance?" asked the reporter. "One would conclude, if he believed the Republican papers, that the Farmers' Alli ance is as good as dead, and they pretend to be arranging for the funeral. Now let me tell you something. If the Farmers' Alliance as an organization is dead, the other parties will find it the liveliest corpse they ever had to confront on election day. The claims are purely fabribations, concocted for the pur pose of creating dissentients and for discour aging the labor, organizations of the cities. But all in good time the laboring men will be I acquainted with the fact that we are stronger to-day by a big majority than we were last fall. We are determined to break down the war tax system of the Republican party. That is the birthright of our party, and it will never rest until we have accomplished the end. ■■_. - ■ =*- •'Now, I want to make another prediction, Minnesota will not be Republican at the next election. The old party that has held the reigns of government here so many years came near going down last fall, and next year will signalize the ultimate overthrow of ' the McKinley tariff supporters. Reciprocity is a good thing, but we want reciprocity with every nation and in every product that contributes to the domestic wants of our people." *' \ "llave you any hope of carrying the next 1 legislature '■That, .my boy. is a possibility, At all events, it is a certainty that a fusion will carry the fort." "Then who will be next United States Senator?" "Well, that is an event a long way in the future. The Farmers' Alliance choice, I have no doubt, would be W. W. Erwin. Min nesota would have no reason to be ashamed of him. He would make a mark among the brightest statesmen of the nation. "The howl that is^ing up from the Re publican press of the state about the in creased appropriations made by the last leg islature will have no effect upon the intelli gent voters. ■ In the first place, it is an ab surd claim to hold the Farmers Alliance re sponsibV?; and. furthei more,' the people are looking into the items themselves. There is the world's fair appropriation.. something that is of special benefit to the whole; state; the different investigation!; that every farmer was anxious to have conducted; then there was a big array of old claims that were just, and we voted to pay them. ; All in all, the 'Alliance will present a strong front in the next campaign. All the little differences that have arisen in the past -viil be amicably ad justed/and we will go into the lizlii unitedly* j for the common good of the people." " . ' •■ > ' ■ BIG LAWYERS' FEES. . A story is going round the country, started by the Epoch, about the big | fees sometimes ; paid New York lawyers In exceptional cases,. The most recent example given is the fee of j $260,000 said to have been paid William" Nel son Cromwell for acting as referee of j Deck-' er, Howell <& Co.. bankers and brokers. Mr. Cromwell was just six weeks in earning his money, and I envious mathematicians are proving that he was paid at the rate of $43. --:Xii.:;:iij a week. If he could always turn his time and his talents to such advantage his yearly income would exceed that of any but the half dozen richest millionaires in the country. And Mr." Cromwell is still a young man, just turned forty, is teldom seen in the j courts, and for that reason is little known to the general public. Nor would his slight figure and pale, thoughtful face, crowned with iron gray hair, attract any special atten tion. Most of the stories told by the writer in the -Epoch are as full of exageration as most sto- j ries which involve sums of money over 81,000,000. and the men who are said to own them. Certainly there is no profession : in :' the world so lucrative as the law— tp^ those on the top. Nowhere does it pay better than in New York, for nowhere are suits involving greater sums of money brought to trial. It is natural that when many millions are at stake in an issue at law, the lawyer on whose ability alone a litigant relies to win or save the fortune should receive fat fees. Or take the case of railroad bondholders, who, to save ten or twenty or thirty millions already invested, wish to create a new mort gage that shall be ironclad and proof against the attack of future lawyers and litigants. In such a case the highest authority in the country will be asked to write the mortgage, and for his work of perhaps three hours he will receive a fee of 5100,000. John C. Bullitt, who drafted the Northern Pacific blanket mortgage, probably received as much as that, and his services may have been worth it. John E. Parson's single fee of 5250.000 was in payment for services to the sugar trust. Next in magnitude comes the 5130,000 fee which Henry L. Clinton received from William H. Vanderbilt. his client in. the Vanderbilt will case. It is also remembered that Robert Sew ell got (125,000 from the Manhattan elevated road as a single fee.and Aaron Kahn received 850,000 from Irene Hoyt in the big Hoyt will case. The Incomes credited to great lawyers by the Epoch writer are in almost every case overstated. If the railroad magnates paid such fees habitually as they are said to, why the lawyers would soon own some railroads and some magnates would be looking for a job —or possibly studying law. It may not be an exaggeration to say that sue h famous law firms as Kvarts, Choate & Beaman, Tracy, Macfarland. Boardman & Platt, Hoadly. Lau terbach & Johnson, and Banks, Stetson, Tracy & MacVeagh (Grover Cleveland's firm) each divides among four or live part ners from $150,000 to $4>D.0.0 a year. But there are only four or five lawyers at the New York bar who make, year in and year out, $100,030. How do they do it? Years ago A. T. Stewart was harassed by a certain treasury decision, which vastly in creased his payments of duties, llis lawyer called one day about another matter. Stewart spoke in an exasperated way about the treas ury decision. "Let me see the decision." said the lawyer. After reading it through he said: "This law speaks of 'all silk' garments. Why don't you have a thread of worsted run into these goods when they are made abroad?" '■Will that come within the new law?" asked the great merchant. "Certainly." "How much do you want for that opinion?'.' asked Mewart a few months later. "Fifty thousand dollars," said the lawyer. And he got it. lie was modest, too, but a dollar went farther in those days than it does now. Stewart years efter told his legal adviser that the casual suggestion made that day had been worth over 81,500,000 to the merchant. So the 850,000 fee was not high. BY THE WAY. Dan Moon, the treasurer for the finance committee of the National Editorial associa tion, yesterday remarked, although it will re quire a good round sum to entertain the visit ing delegates, there was no ddubt but that it would be raised. He is a hustler himself on matters of this kind, and with the assistance he has received, he feels hopeful for the out come, i A large proportion of the sum neces sary has been pledged. There is about $3,000 to $4,000 yet unsubscribed. The result of the canvass yesterday was very gratifying. — O— The world's fair commission will go to Chi cago shortly to look over the grounds. The appropriation is no small,* however, that the members express a doubt about being able to make a magnificent display, such as the state should make on such an occasion. In other quarters the opinion obtains that the next legislature will help out by increasing the "appropriation. In this event the present provision can be expended in erecting build ings, so that Minnesota may have a home at the fair. —O— "Oh, dear; I'm so thoroughly out of . pa tience that I can scarcely contain myself." snarled a comely but petulant young tady on a cable car last evening. "Every store I go into some officious or conceited clerk pre sumes to know better than I do myself just" what I want to buy. I call tor a certain ar ticle ana the clerk persists in showing me something else first that he assures me wilj strike my fancy. I pride myself on the fact that I always know precisely what I want to buy before Igo shopping. My husband gives me a certain sum of money to use as I see fit. I know prices and brands, and I always* care fully estimate how much and just what I will buy with the sum before I start from home. But, when I go into a store the clerks begin showing me something entirely different from what I ask to see, and then I am informed by implication, at least, that I haven't good taste, and am behind the times. Sometimes the situation becomes embarrass ing, especially if some rich neighbor's wife is near by and overhears the criticisms passed by the clerk, that lam led to bu y things I cannot afford, aud then I go home regretting that I went shopping at all, and all on ac count of the impudence of a forward clerk," and the lady stopped the car at a crossing and, picking up a parcel that some clever salesman had succeeded in influencing her to buy against her desire and against her judgment, she got off. ■'"— o — "What do you want me to say?" frankly re turned Hon. P. H. Kelly when asked what there is new in the political situation. "I am always willing to tell you boys everything, ' when I have any information to give, but the truth is I have no information— nothing to say. I am not in the political swim. That is, lam not on the committee, and lam happy because lam not. It is a great relief. All lam thinking about now is business, and an opportunity to cross the water. You know I went over last year, and I want to go again, if only for a week or so." — o— Hon. P. IT. Carney, of Mankato, was in the city yesterday. "The sentiment of the peo ple is stronger than ever against the burdens of the tariff tax." he said to a Globe re- . porter at the Merchants. '-.Miunesotans are awake to the situation, ana . there does not seem to be any reasons why the state should fail to go Democratic next year. The peo ple have been taught the lesson that free sugar is a good thing, and. they are going to insist on extending it to all the necessaries of life. To do this they must elect a Demo cratic congress. Minnesota will be heard from along with the other Western states." TWO CUTS IX A DAY. Boston & Albany and Fitchburfj Roads Reduce. Rates. Boston*.

It has been agreed be , tween the stage manager and the manage ment that I shall wear side whiskers and retain my moustache." ;. ; ; . t t t The fan and ventilating system in the .Metropolitan opera house 's a perfect one, and cools and ventilates the auditorium in a thorough and' refreshing manner. During the hot nights this week the temperature, by the regular working of the fans, without the aid of ice, has been ten degrees cooler in the auditorium than outdoors. With this lux-. ury large audiences have taken great pleas . ure in witnessing the performances of the delightful opera "Fra Diavolo" by the Wil bur company. This opera will be presented 'again to-night, to-morrow matinee and night. .Two operas will De given next week — "Oli vette"' the first half of the week, commencing Sunday night, and "Princess of Trebizonde" the latter naif, beginning with Thursday matinee. t t t The new stock company at the Park thea tor is steadily gaining in popularity. Mr. Bock has in . hand a number of unusually strong plays which he will produce in the near future. "Lorle" and "East Lynne," that everybody has cried over, are under lined for next week, and the company is busy every day with the rehearsals of "Rose dale." A particularly taking feature of the house is the cooling faus recently placed in the auditorium. t t t One of the largest houses of the season greeted the first production of "The Streets of New York" at the Grand last evening. Not only was the house large, but it was enthusi astic, and applauded everything of merit from Edeson's topical song to Marion El more's clever bit of business over a cigarette. The play itself is the conventional melo . drama in seven acts. The wicked banker robs the good sea captain, who dies in the first act. Then, after a lapse of twenty years, the' ' family of the dead man turn up, and go through all the vicissitudes imaginable, even to the verge of suicide. The villain's daughter plays a heartless game to rob the heroine — the sea captain's daughter — her lover, and nearly succeeds. Everything turns out well in the last act. owing to the good heart of the villain's confederate. The plot is con ventional, but the play is wholesome and en tertaining. The sentiment is never forced, and the interest is well sustained. The uni ties are respected, even if the captain's son does starve in neatly black shoes and linen cuffs. Had the play been dull aud uninter esting, which it is far from being, the players would have redeemed it. ■t t t Louis James as Badger, the rough, but good-hearted confidante, rollicked through the whole play. He was simply bubbling over with contagious" fun. and was the part so completely thnt the audience forgave him bis occasional "gags" and his slight ten dency to tease everybody. In the few oppor tunities he had for serious work he was mas ter of the situation. Frank Losee was a very villainous, yet artistic villain. Edwin Ferry ns Mark Livingstone was very manly and pleasing. Mrs. Irwin and George JLdeson as Mr. and Mrs. Puffy played consci entiously and cleverly. Miss Memck's gowns were marvels of beauty and the wear er wore them with a beautiful insolence which won one's admiration for the actress* and one's contempt for the woman she por trayed. Miss Elmore was a boyish little Arab, and Miss Batemau made c very sweet part of a character itself rather tiresome.

Rome, June 25.— Reports have again been circulated regarding the pope's attitude towards Cardinal Manning in respect to the labor questions which have occupied public attention so much lately. It has been asserted that the pope, disapproving of the advanced ideas of Cardinal Manning, has sent him instructions intimating that in the pope's opinion he was going too far in his treatment of social questions. It is authoritatively learned that these re ports are entirely without founda tion. On . the contrary a very in timate corresDondence has passed between the pope and Cardinal Mann ing on the occasion of the publication of the social encyclical. On the 10th of June the pope received a detailed re port from. his eminence of the imures sion produced by the encyclical in En gland. In his report the cardinal de clares that the pontifical document has not met with the slightest opposition, neither in the higher nor in the lower spheres of life; that it has had a sympa thetic reception by the English people; that the plutocracy itself has not taken offense, and that the national prejudice against Rome has become considerably modified in the face of this enlightened and pacific declaration. "My expecta tions," wrote Cardinal Manning, "have been surpassed." , Efforts have been made to induce Cardinal Simeoni to retire from his office of prefect of the propoganda. but he has refused to do so. No change is therefore probable for sometime, at any rate. Arrangements are being com pleted for the publication of a new weekly theological review. It will be conducted by Rev. Fasog Fasanante, who will be assisted by both American and Roman prelates. The review will be printed in English, and will make a special feature of American ecclesias tical questions. — THE DROP IX FLOUR.

No one blames the people of St. Paul and Minneapolis for wanting the state conventions made up of 2,000 delegates instead of two or three hundred.

The arrival of Hamline entries with each mail still prevents Secretary E. B. Putnam from presenting the complete list. He asserts, however, that the trotters and pacers to be seen at the races next week will gladden the heart of lovers of fleet animals. There is a possability that a lady rider will under take to wrest the championship from Miss Williams, and in case the young aspirant's courage does not fail, the Northwest will be well represented. At all events there will be a lad y competitor, and the public will be treated to a running race of ten or twenty miles run lor all there is in it, to use a common phrase. The hurdle races will be one of the greatest attractions. Lady and gentle men riders will take four hurdles to the mile, and as the race is for blood there is a large amount of sport with considerable danger to the competitors. ■=£■3 Flyers in Jersey.

Columbia's Record-Breaking Race Is Called in Question. SFkw London", Conn.. June 25. — Some doubt is cast on the authenticity of the Columbia freshmen's record-breaking time. The Columbia timer, so the story goes, napped his watch, but did not stop it when Columbia crossed the line. A few seconds later, noticing his over sight, he stopped the watch and made a close guess as to the time of the seconds before and gave it out officially at 9:41. Meanwhile Mr. Sheffield and Mr. Adee, who were taking Yale, caught Columbia also, and made her time at 9:44. The official time as given, however, was 9:41. The- judges at the finish stated that Hie Columbia won by two and a half lengths over Yale. The time for Yale, accurately given, was 9:53%, and a calculation from these figures of three seconds for every length, would make Columbia's time 9:40, so that t'.:ere seems to De three tunes given for Col umbia—9:4l, 9:44 and 0:40.

Since the trial the young men have made Dili's life miser able in many ways. A climax was reached Sunday. During the morning services, while the pastor was making a thrilling appeal to the congregation, the wicked young men unharnessed his bay horse, which stood under the wagon-shed, and taking him Into a neighboring barn, painted on him gorge ous stripes of red, white and blue. Then they took him back to the shed and hitched him to the wagon again. When the pastor drove home behind his pie bald steed the young men jeered at him from the roadside.
