evident that our <
IS the sta are inciined to build
their cities with some deference to the
BMM „ed sacs a'
constructed with wanton disregard for
the intrinsic beauties of rnsrged scene
ry. If a town is favored with a river
its banks are not wholly given over to
the backyard purposes of mercantile
houses or the squalor of squatter set
tie.r.ents. A riparian boulevard and
well kept terrace often trim and
brighten the otherwise somber garh
of many manufacturing districts.
The implied comparison compels St.
Paul citizens to plead guilty to the
charge of negligence. Certainly no city
in the Northwest has a greater wealth
of natural beauty. Its hills and hol
lows, its groves and grottoes possess a
beauty that even negligence and dese
cration cannot obscure. The ________*-
i sippi, guarded on one side by St. An
! thony hill and on the other by the
i arborescent bluff, viewed from Oakland
avenue, presents a scene of singular
beauty. Yet no one knows better than
those who have visited the river flats
that it is a case where distance lends
enchantment to the view. In place of
I a boulevard and terrace, such as skirts
the Thames, the Mississippi is fringed
through the business portion of St.
Paul by such a conglomeration of huts, |
dumps and general squalor as to beg- !
I gar description.
There was a time when a few, wish- j
j ing to preserve some of the natural
[•'features of the city, tried to bavsl
Third street terra ced as far as Seven :

the opposing bluff left unobstructed by j
buildings. But it was said that the j
Street had too great a c
value to devote our .Me of it to aes
thetic purposes. Do the vacant stores
there bear out the assertion?
It is not too late to re. tore to the i
city some aspect of its natural I
rapfay. Prof. Zueblin pointed out how
it waa being done even now in London.
11' it can be done there it surely can l__
done here.

Epistles to St. Paul.
Ths difficulties of the English language
when it is attacked by a foreigner are brought
to the notice of nearly everybody who has a
foreign speaking friend. Tom Neuhaus-.n
teils one on a German friend of his who has
been wrestling with English ln the early
stages of his acquaintance. H!b father had
lately died. He met a friend who knew that
the father was ill. The friend asked:
"Hello! Is your fa titer living still?"
The German struggled for a minute. He
wantgd to indicate that his father was dead,
but he coul not, following the proposition.
He gave up the problem and taid:
"Xot yet."

"I was thinking the other day. after I had
been to a session of the W. C. T. U., about
the time that things were good, what wouid
be the result of all this higher education of
women and their interest in parliamentar y
ai_ai_3," said a bachelor who is not unknown
in public life in this town. "I know some
thing of parliamentary law myself, and have
had a good deal of experience in parliamen
tary bodies, but, upon my word, if a man
tried to take the advantages in a deliberative
assemblage that a woman does be would be
arrested for larceny. They were all good
women ard all that, but they really had no
conscience in the matter of getting the best
of tt. And as for being posted on parliamen
tary proceedings, why they would give any
body that I know of half the pack and beat
him out Imagine a man delegate in a delib
erative body having the nerve, when he found
that he was beaten en a proposition, to ask
that the body pray— 'now have a session of
prayer .' Why no man would dare do it. and
then send for reinforcements and inspiration
while the prayer was going on. The one thing
that was made apparent to me was the fact
that in the course of the next generation the
women will run all the convention parties.
a_d we men will b9 permitted to do the dirty
work at the primaries— if we are good."

more than organisations and committees. On j

of some o::e of the hundreds at work ln !

A clever mot of Lord Rosebery's ls repeated
by Miss De Forest in the Bazar. At a dinner

Tom O'Donnell was telling a crowd of
friends about the Arlington cemetery in
Washington. "You say there is no such. thing
as a good Democrat," said Mr. O'Donnell,
"but I saw an epitaph on one of the tomb
stones that dissipated any such idea as that."
"What was it?" asked one of the listeners.
"It read very simple and simply said: "Here
lies a Democrat— and a good man." " Every
body saw the point of the proof, but one man,
who hesitated a moment and then asked:
"What made theni bury them so close to

Nothing galls the natural pride of the true
blue Scotchman more than to have Seotlr.nd
overlooked. A striking instance of this feel
ing is said to have occurred at the battle of
Trafalgar. Two Scotchmen, messmates aud
bosom cronies, happened to be stationed near
each other when the celebrated signal was
given from Admiral Nelson's ship: "Eng
land expects every man to do his duty."
"Not a word about poor Scotland," dolefully
remarked Donald. His friend cocked his eye
and, turning to his companion, said: ".Man,
Donald. Scotland kens weel eneuch that tide
son o' hers needs to be tell't to dae his duty.

Imperialism.
Boston represents about all of the Amerioan
trade in the Philippines, and th_ Boston
Advertl_-r nointed out the other day that
"every Boston business mau interested in
that trade considers that American annexa
tion of the Philippine* would be a pitiable
and a tragic blunder."
• • •
In a vigorous argument against tha imperial
policy delivered before the Pennsylvania
Bankers' association, John C. Bullitt, of Phil
adelphia, said that although "the peace com
ml______-s, acting under inspiration from
Washington, seem to assume that they are
representing the will of the peaple," the
truth is that "no vote has beeu taken in
regard to it, and it cannot be affirmed, upon
any satisfactory evidence, that the great
body of enlightened sentiment of the country
is in accord with the adoption of a policy
so radical, so grave and so protentous."
• • •
It ls obvious that the opponents of ex- :
pansion find in the result of the elections
warrant for renewed efforts to defeat the
policy of imperialism. They are quite justi
fied in this attitude when they see that _ i
chief Republican advocate of that policy, who
began his campaign by declaring that this
was the paramount issue, waa elected gov
ernor -of New York by the narrow margin of
18,000. against the 268.000 for McKinley twu
years ago; while a Democrat who openly op
posed expansion, and was denounced there
for by Republican organs as tha ally of
Spain, was elected governor of Min_eso:a,
a state which has had Republican governors
for forty years. Whatever interpretation Mr.
McKinley may put upon such results as
Roosevelt's narrow escape from defoat in
New York and Lind's success in Minne
sota, it ls clear to most peome lhat they
do not show that the nation is enamoured
of tho idea of annexing tho Philippines,
with all the problems that come in their
train.— New York Post.

Smart Short Stories.
From the Chicago News.
The archbishop of Canterbury Is singular
among the roll of English primates for his
hatred of pomp and decoration. Once, when
the guest of a country clergyman, he was
much annoyed by the display of silver candle
sticks tn his room. After his lordship's de
parture these candlesticks were nowhere to be
seen. The distressed clergyman at once wrote
to the bishop, as he was then, telling him of
his loss, and adding: "Can you tell us what
has happened?" The reply came by wire:
"Poor, but honest; look In the chest of draw
ers."
• • *
This la not the only silver adventure ln
which Archbishop Temple has been concerned.
On another occasion ha was put up by a
clergyman during the absence of that clergy
man's wife. On- leaving, the host politely
expressed the hope that when next his lord
ship honored the house, Mrs. Temple would
accompany him. "No, thanks." the arch
bishop laconically replied; "Mrs. Temple
doesn't like roughing it" The clergyman's
feelings were deeply hurt, for the visit had
meant some expense and much anxiety to
him. He unburdened his soul to his wife
on her return. "Why, my dear," she ex
claimed, "you didn't surely put the bishop ln
the pink bedroom, did you?" He did. "Oh!
then that's it. I put all the silver plate in the
bed:"

An amusing story Is going the rounds of a
well-known actor, at one time an officer in
the English army, who is still considered by
his prudish kinsfolk, and by some of his
friends as well, to have "lost caste" by be
coming what they are pleased to term "a
common play actor." Walking in the West
end recently, the young fellow chanced to
meet several of his former comrades -at-arms,
who, somewhat to his surprise, began one
and all to censure him strongly for leaving
[ the service, and more especially, so, they
said, for disgracing his regiment "by going
en the stage." "And how much a year do
you make by your precious buffoonery,
Fred?" one of his aforetime companions in
quired, presently, "Last year," answered the
ex-offlcc-r, calmly. "I made only £700, but this
year, so far as I can judge, I shall net as
clear profits something over £1.000." The
censors said no more upon the subject at tho
time, but now it is said that no fewer than
three of them are themselves, to use their
pet phrase, "trying to get on the stage." So
far, however, their attempts have proved
failures.

The conduct of the Fenian movement
had passed.after the arrest of Stephens
and during his absence in America
into the hands of Col. Kelly. In the
j autumn of 1567 Col. Kelly was in Man-
I Chester at a Fenian meeting.. As he
was returning home with a compan
ion, Capt. Deasy, the two were ar
rested on suspicion of loitering for a
! bur .laroue purpose. They g_ve false
names, but were soon discovered to be
the formidable leader of the conspir
acy and one of his chief lieutenants
The Fenian organization was at the
! time extremely strong in Manchester
j and a rescue was resolved upon'
V\ ednesday. Sept. 18, the prison van,
while being driven to the county gaol
at Salford, was attacked at the rail
way arch which spans Hyde road at
Bellvue. A party of thirty rushed for
ward with revolvers and shot one of
the horses, and the police, being un
armed, fled. An attempt was made to
open the door of the van with hatchets
hammers and crowbars, but this faU<
ed; and, meantime, the police came
back, accompanied by a large crowd
Sergeant Brett, the policeman inside
had the keys, which some of the party'
opening the ventilator, asked him to
give up. He refeused. A pistol was
t placed to the keyhole for the purpose
I of blowing open the lock; the bullet
| rassed through Brett's body, and he
i fe .l mortally wounded. The keys wero
i taken out of his pocket and "handed
_?_, by otic of lhe '«male prisoners
Kelly and Deasey were released and
hurried oft into concealment, and wen
never recaptured.
.Meanwhile a crowd had gathered;
several of the rescuing party were
seized and almost lynched. One of
them. William Philip Allen, was al
most stoned to death. Soon after Wll

private in the Ninth regulars: Not long ago
he went to the colonel, who wun a sever
ciiilinarlan. for a two weeks' leave of ab
sence.
"Wi II." Faid the colonel, "what do you want
a two weeks' furlough for?"
Patrii It answered "Me woife is very si ck,
and the children are not well, and if ye didn't
mird. she would Uks to have me home for a
few weeks to give her a bit of assistance."
The colonel eyed him for a few minot >j
and said: "Patrick, I might grant your re
quest, but I got a letter from your wife thia
morning saying that she didn't want you
home; that you were a nuisance and raised
the devil whenever you were thi re She bop< <
I won't lc. you have any more furloughs."
"That settles It. I suppose I can't get the
furlough, them?" said Pat.
"Mo; I'm afraid not, Patrick. If wouldn't
be well for me to do so under the dream
s'mces."
It was Patrick's turn now to eye the
colonel, as ha started for the door. Stopping
suddenly, he said:
"Colonel, can 1 say something to y^z?"
' _; v.hat is it?"
"You won't get mad, colonel, If I say It?"
"Certainly not, Patrick; what is it?"
