the life of this beautiful little city of oura I here. Never in the history of any city has the call of been so plainly given to all pool citizens to stand by the officers a at the present.

Fear not that the championship of riffht will interfere with your business; fear not evil dcT3 and their threats, but stand for the rlht." UNCLAIMKD ESTATES.

They Exist for the Most Pnrt Only In Auirrl cm n Imagination. Sidney II. Everett, In Atlantic Monthly. HollaiU la another country where it is supposed by many Americans that vast estates, from the value of $12,0)0,000 down, have been lying1 unclaimed for the last two fcundrei years, and that nothing is necessary but to demand them at some probate ofllce. For the last seventeen years the American legation at the Hague has notified claimants, either directly or through the Department of State, that there are no probate courts In Holland, and that wills are generally deposited in the care of the notary who draws them. up. He makes a duplicate copy, and enters the title anl subject matter under a number In his register, which Is examined and verifleJ by the registrar once a month. It is evident, where names, dates, and localities are lacking, as Is generally the case in the communications of claimants, that, after the lapse of one or two generations, estate can be founl only, if at all, by extensive advertising. In the Dutch Parliament established a state commission for the settlement of claims on the estates of deceased persons, as well as those against the government. This commission gave notice that all claims to property then in their hanJs must be sent tyi within Ave years anl six months, aftrn which time such estates would escheat to the state. The great estate sought for In Holland is that of a General Metzgar, who died about two hundred years ago, leaving, it Is currently supposed, some $12,000.000. One of the claimants admitted to our minister at the Hague that if ordinary interest were added to the principal of thl3 claim, all the European governments together would be unablo to pay It, but that she was willing to wait for the Interest. Being discouraged by her reception at the legation, she presented her claim which had been begullingly drawn up by a French attorney in the shape of a large pamphlet in person to the King, at the door of his palace. In due time she received a reply from the Finance Minister that the whole matter had been several times examined by the courts, and decided adversely to the claimants. In most of the Dutch claims the family name alone of the testator is given, but neither the name, the place of death, nor the location of the estate is supplied to assist in tracking It. No official notice of unclaimed Dutch estates Is ever lnferted In foreign newspapers, and therefore the lists of unclaimed estates published by agents are not ofllclal sources, as asserted by them. Our embassy In Paris does not give the names of any claimants of estates, but says that the number of Inquiries Is large, and that in no case has the existence of the supposed estate or of the unclaimed fortune been verified. The legislation of France Is such as to dispose effectually, and without i appeal, of all claims, even if Inherently Just and founded on an i ctual and known heritage, which were not presented and proven within the period prescribed by the French statute of limitations. Under French law, the liquidation of estates Is ordinarily In the hands of a notary, and In searching tor an estate the usual method is to address a circular letter to every notary in the city and department where the estate Is likely to be, giving the name and date of death of the original owner. When there is no landed estate, the heirs-at-law can dlvlie the property amors themselves without legal froeeedings. If nobody claims an estate, he. state takes it in trust, and the Department of Justice inserts notices of the fact in the official Journal. The period of proscription as regards unclaimed estates is thirty years from the date of decease, after which all claims are barred, unless some Irregularity in the liquidation can be proven. In Germany there is likewise a statute of limitations, and there, too, not a case Is known to our embassy where the existence of an unclaimed estate has been verified. As a rule, the data furnished by claimants are insufficient to substantiate any claim, or to Identify the locality of a single estate, even when the statute of limitations does not apply to great periods of time elapsing since the testator's death. One great drawback for the claimants Is the absence of all probate machinery, and the fact that estates are usually divided; amicably among the re rs without resort to any court, transfers of landed estate being made on the land register of the locality, in the presence of the grantor and grantee. Wills have to be deposited in a court during the lifetime of the testator, except In the Rhine provinces, where a will entirely holographic is valid. Wills are opened by the court for interested parties when they produce a certificate of death, or at any rate six weeks after the testator's known death. After fifty-six years have elapsed since deposit of the will without Information of the testator's- death, the tupposed heirs are summoned by advertisement to appear. If in six months no one comes forward, the will Is opened, to ascertain whether charitable institutions are mentioned in It. If this be the case, such beneficiaries are called upon to prove the death of the testator. The will Is then closed again. When the fact of death is established the will is opened once more, and published. A certificate of heirship Is issued by the court on adequate proof. If the proof is inadequate, or no heirs come forward, a further notice of three months Is given In the official gazette: and should this receive no response, the state regards the property As (Serellct, and takes possession of it. Even then. If a rightful heir appears within thirty years, his title is acknowledged under certain restrictions. Continued possession by the state for these thirty years gives a valid title, if not disputed in the meantime, in which case It is temporarily In the custody of a special official. As there are several hundred courts thus holding estates. It is essential that claimants should ascertain accurately which court holds the estate in trust. As far as can be learned by the embassy, after careful inquiry, there is not at present any large estate that for more than thirty years has been awaiting distribution, and every effort to discover alleged unclaimed estates has been fruitless. The consuls have permission to Investigate claims to estates when their official duties pemit, and if remuneration for their services be guaranteed. The Democratic Convention. Washington Special. Chairman Harrity ald to rrm to-day that he saw no reason for haste in issuing the official call for the convention. "I may not do anjthing about it for some time," he added. Asked what programme he hal planned as to the preparation for the convention, Mr. Harrity said: -Under the direction of the committee I will appoint a subcommittee cf seven to take charge of the arrangements, select a hall and assume the management of the detalU. I was named In the resolution a3 chairman of the wubcommittee, and Secretary Sheerin. of Indiana, as another member. It will not be a violent assumption to say that I will nanre Mr. Cable, of Illinois, as a third member. Who the other members will be I do not know. I will select the committee with considerable care. Mr. Sheerin anl I will go to Chicago in the course of three or four weeks to look over the ground, and tt Is probable that I will have named the .ether membra of the subcommittee before the day cf our visit and invite them to meet us there. I don't know what hall we will choose whether the Coliseum or Tattersail's. Personally I incline o the Coliseum, and I told somo of mv colleagues that I should think they would be glad to get cut of the close) quarters of the city to where the free lake breezes have free circulation. However, that is omethlng for the subcommittee to determine. I am not et in my opinions on this subject." Hovr the Earth looses Time. Popular Science.

DR. ADAMS'S CHARGES

SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AGAIXST ItEV. IV. U. COVERT, OP ANDEIISOX. Alleged Scheme to Fleece Spiritual lt Dentil of Hon. II. 31. Mxon Republican County Conventions. CINCINNATI, Jan. 13. A Commercial Gaze tte special from Crawfordsville, Ind., says: St veral weeks ago Rev. W. It. Covert, of Anderson, Ind., posted VAO forfeit that he could explain the tricks of any spiritualistic medium. A few days later he announced that Dr. Henry Milton, of Philadelphia, had covered the forfeit and would lecture at Anderson. This m put up by Rev. Covert wiis to have been guaranteed by citizens of Anderson. Subsequent events have demon strated that Dr. Henry M. Adams, of Crawfordsville, a spiritualistic medium known all over the United States, was the Dr. Henry Milton, of Philadelphia. Dr. Adams says he has abundant correspondence with Covert to prove that the reverend gentleman proposed to have Adams explain to him the tricks, so as to make the exposure certain and complete, and then they were to divide the &O0 forfeit. He says he drew Covert out by decoy letters, signed a decoy contract with him, and then, last night, wired Covert that he would be exposed through the press. He says a part of Covert's plan was to provoKe the .Spiritualists to libel him and then recover damages from them in a libel suit. 1XDIAA OniTL'ARY. Hon. Robert 31.

Dur ing his term of office our country reached a higher standard of prosperity than ever before and our national honor was fully maintained.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANS PORT, Ind., Jan. 19. The employes of the Lafayette Bridge Company, to the number of about a dozen, who are engaged in erecting a bridge over Eel river at Market street, declare they will strike at 7 o'clock to-morrow morning, and will hold the bridge to prevent otners taking their places against all comers. The significant feature of the strike Is that It will probably result In a big loss to the Lafayette Bridge Company in the payment of penalties to the county for not completing the bridge at the time ppecifled in the contract. The grievance of the men is that their pay is withheld, some of them claiming the company owes them as hit?h as Jjo. The company claims that it holds the money to protect it against dishonesty among the employes. Be that as It may, the men will strike to-morrow morning and "chain up" the bridge unless they receive their money by 7 o'clock. Warned Afrnlimt it Petty Swindle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

DEATH OF BERNARD GILLAM, THE WELL-KNOWN CARICATURIST. Ills Cnrtoon of Jnmen G. Dlnlne an the Tattoed Man Ilrought II I m Fnnie Bishop Hayeood Dead. AMSTERDAM, N. V.. Jan. 18. Bernard Gillam, the noted cartoonist of Judge, died this morning, at the home o? his father-in-law, ex-Senator James Ar'.ell, of Canojaharle. His death was the result of an attack of typhoid fever. Bernard Gillam was an Englishman by birth. When he was eighteen years eld hl3 family came over and settled in Brooklyn, where Gillam went to the public schools. When he left the public schools he announced himself as a scenic painter, and in due time exhibited a dramatic picture in a Brooklyn gallery. All Brooklyn went to see this marvel, and all Brooklyn laughed. Even Gillam's friends poked fun at him. Ho went into a lawyer's office as clerk, but before the end of the year he turned to art again, and as a portrait painter had a feeble success. He saw clearly that caricature and the cartoon were his gift and began to try to force an entrance into the weekly papers. His first work was for Frank Leslie's W eekly. He soon made something of a reputation, and was made a member cf the staff of Harper's Weekly. His position as a cartoonist was established. From Harper's he went to Puck, and there drew the cartoons that gave him his national reputation. The first of these, "The Tatooed Man." will be remembered by all who remember the Blaine campaign of 1884. He left Puck to Join W. J. Arkell in the establishing and building up of Judge. He became a partner in the firm, the firm name being Arkell & Gillam. Concerning Gillam's work the New York Morning Journal says: "One of the most famous arid effective of modern cartoons was the product of his pencil, if not exactly of his brain. As a matter of xact, it is very seldom that a goodi cartoon or humorous picture is the work of a single man, and in the office of a flrst-clas3 satirical paper it is customary to subject the pictures to the rigid scrutiny of the principal members of the staff. It was in 18&4. Just before the national Republican convention of that year, that the double-page cartoon representing James G. Blaine as a tatooed man appeared In Puck, and instantly attracted universal attention. It is generally believed by astute politicians that this cartoon was a factor of enormous power in the work of defeating Blaine in that convention. Certain it is that the Maine statesman never forgot or forgave It. But if the cartoon defeated Blaine, It made Gillam, for very soon after it appeared he was Invited to take the place at the head of Judge. The cartoon will doubtless be recalled by most of our readers, but It is probable that very few of them will remember that it was only one feature of a picture which represented the presidential candidates of 1S84 posing as freaks In a dime museum. "The Idea of the picture was originally suggested by Mr. Carl Hauser, at that time the assistant editor of the German edition of Puck, and now well known as a writer for the local German press, and a wit who enjoys the hlihest esteem among his compatriots. Mr. Gillam, who was at that time one of the cleverest members of Puck's staff of artists, was requested to make the picture, and in a rough sketch which he submitted there was a small figure in the background which attracted the attention of Mr. Schwarzmann, the publisher. " 'Who is thatr he inquired, after the more important details of the cartoon had been thoroughly discussed. " 'I intended to put there a picture of David Davis as a tattooed man replied the artist. " 'Verv good,' said the publisher of Puck, 'but perhaps we would better put someboiy there whose record Is not as straight as that of Mr. Davis. "Blaine's name was suggested, and then some one remarked that it would be a good idea to tattoo him with the words 'Little Rock To this was adied 'Mulligan Letters,' and In a very short space of time the figure of James G. Blaine was brought Into such prominence that it overshadowed all the others on the page. Blaine writhed under the attack and his political opponents were not slow to recognize the strength of the cartoon and to make use of It as best they could. It was followed shortly afterward by a picture called 'Phryna Before the Judges taken from a famous painting of that name and representing the statesman clothed in his tattooing and hiding his face in his hands with shame. This cartoon was also the work of Mr." Gillam, and the two may be set down as the most notable achievements of his career." Attlcnn Green Ilnyjrood. COVINGTON. Ga., Jan. 19. Bishop Haygood, of the M.

Daniel Butterfield. Gen. James McLeer, Gen. Theodore B. Gates, St. Clair McKelway and Seth Low. Tho body was escorted to Greenwood Cemetery by the Fourteenth Regiment, the Fourteenth Regiment War Veterans' Association, Rankin Post, G. A. II., and the G. A. B. memorial committee. A delegation from Lexington Council, F. and A. M., of which the deceased was a member, was also In line. When the coffin reached the grave a salute was fired by a company of the Fourteenth Regiment.

RETURN OF A PRODIGAL. Thomnn Ochiltree, Sixteen Yenrn Old, Home After Four Yeuri' WanderlnR. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 19. When the steamer Belgenland was docked to-day one of the first to step ashore was slxteen-year-old Thomas Ochiltree, of Pittsburg, after an absence offour years. He was welcomed by his mother. Filled with a desire for travel, the boy ran away from home, and after visiting all Europe he arrived in Liverpool. The American deputy consul sent him home. On the same vessel was twenty-year-old Edward Freyer, of Owatoaa, Minn. He was not discovered until fifteen minutes before the passengers landed, having stowed himself away. With others he left home for the African gold fields some time ago. In England their money gave out end they separated. MR. KEELY'S WONDERS ANOTHER EXHIBITION DY THE PHILADELPHIA 3IAGICIAV. The Mysterious Inventor Displays What He Calls Polar and Depolar Sympathetic Force. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 19. The Post Dispatch's Philadelphia correspondent says: In response to -a special invitation your representative attended a Keely seance Saturday. Just why. these invitations were sent out at this time no one, except possibly Keely and his patroness, Mrs. Bloomlngton Moore, can say. There was some Idea that the motor was to do its mighty work at last, and that the favored few at this particular seance were to be the first to see the great new force, the practical demonstration of the fact that Mr. Keely had plucked the heart out of the mystery of the infinite. But the results were even as the results of all the other seances given at Intervals of five years for the past twentyfive years. There was a puzzling sleight of hand show, a fusillade of talk about as intelligible as the speeches in the Grand Supreme GIbble i Gabble of the Jabberwock, and a glittering promise of something some day soon. There has been a great deal said of late about John Jacob Astor and other great capitalists having taken up the Keely mystery. It was said that Mr. Keely had at last perfected his machine for making the genii that swing the planets in their orbs obey the gentle persuasiveness of the notes of a tulng fork and make railway trains and all manner of mighty engines move without the trouble and expense of fuel. The world has been waiting upon Mr. Keely for twenty-five years while he tolled about mysteriously in his workshop. The capitalists have lost faith, and Keely stock has gone to 10 cents on the dollar. Then there has been an exhibition something and the stock has gone to 200. Keely stock is low just now, and Mrs. Moore's son has brought proceedings to have his mother declared Incapable of taking care of her estate, a part of which goes to Mr. Keely every year. So it was high time that Mr. Keely should give a seance. There were present Professor Brlnton, of the University of Pennsylvania, and W. A. McAndrew, of the Pratt Iustltute, two gentlemen who know something about science. Also Mrs. Moore was there. "I am always a good deal disturbed when I begin one of these cxhibtlons," said Mr. Keely, "for sometimes, if an unsympathetic person ia present, the machines will not work." This statement, reported again and again by Mrs. Moore, rather dampened the ardor of the gentlemen present. For think of the pitiful scene if a railroad train equipped with a Keely motor she .Id pas3 a town in which an unsympathetic person lived, or should take on an unsympathetic passenger. Engineer, conductor, brakeman would all plead with the motor in vain. Not an Inch would it budge until the Jonan had been put off or possibly killed. Mr. Keeley and Mrs. Moore then talked science. The two scientific men looked uneasy. The great Keely and his exponent seemed to be talking English. At least they used English words. And- the words seemed to have some sort of coherence. But what that coherence was no one could tell. As near as could be got at Mrs. Moore seemed to think the motive power Mr. Keeley had discovered was "the" will" of God." She confided that Mr. .Keely did not need any machinery at all. "He can Just stand and look at that globe and talk to it and it will revolve as fast or slow as he says," she said. Mr. Keely gave no exhibition of these remarkable powers. But he did show several pretty well, one is tempted to say tricks. For it was after all more like a private exhibition by Hermann than a serious exhibitions of science. Mr. Keely explained that his force is a polar depolar sympathetic force, simply that and nothing more. He had several interesting machines and the scientific men took them apart, applied every known test and could discover nothing. The big room In the latoratory 13 about twenty-four feet square and the light from the skylight fell full upon the row of machines about the wall. First there was the enelne for the Interchange of polar and depolar sympathy. It was a sort of wheel within a wheel. Mr. Keely moved a glass table to the middle of the room and put a copper globe about seven inches in diameter upon it. There was some curious mechanism attached to the globe, too complicated to describe. A twisted funnel, like an ear trumpet, communicated with the Interior of the globe. Mr. Keely took a big tuning fork In his hand and struck it on one of the steel rods attached to the globe. Almost at once the wheel of the machine over against the wall began to revolve. The only apparent connection between the globe and' the machine was a single strand of wire, and the galvanometer showed that no electricity was present. "What do you think?" said one scientist to the other. "A new force or a new trick," whispered the second. "Why does this happen?" asked the first man or Mr. Keely. "Simply the interchange of polar and depolar sympathy," replied Mr. Keely. Next there was a gold-colored globe mounted on iron rods and set upon a giass slab, four feet long and over an Inch thick. Mr. Keely tied one end of a silk thread to the machine and carried it across the room, and passed it through a small window Into the next room, and put his head through the window. He had a zither, two pitch pipes and a compressed mouth organ. "Tell me how many times I shall make the globe revolve." said he. "Make it twice," said Mr. Andrew. Mr. Keely placed a note on the pith pipes, twanged the zither and the globe twenty feet away revolved twice. "Five times." said Mr. Brlnton. Keely played a different note and it revolved five times. Then he twanged and played and the globe revolved rapidly. Mr. McAndrew cut the thread and the globe stopped instantly. The scientists examined the globe before and after these experiments, but could discover no cause for the motion. After showing one other amazing machine Mr. Keely took his aullence into the next room to view the great motor. This is an entirely new machine, entirely different from any other except In one respect. That one point of resemblance Is tnat it Is not quite finished and Is Just about done, and will soon astonish the world. Said Mr. Keely as they stood looking at the machine. "P.lg as this thing is. It will so neutralize the force of gravity that a child will be able to pick it up and hold It at arm's length." "But what of it. Mr. Keely?" asked one of the men. "to what use can it be put?" "Limitless use," repliel Mr. Keely. "With a machine like this, but no bigger than your hand. I will be able to run a street car crowded to the roof. And the motor Itself woull show no motion." "When?" "Pretty soon. I do not mean to spring the thing half done. Not until the scientific mystery of th force is mine. For fifteen years I wss hinderel by an incomplete hypothesis. Five years aco I began on another tack. Now you see what I have." John Ernest Worrall Keely is now over sixty-eight years old. He is young looking for his years, of great physical strength, a smooth and persuasive talker, a man of dominating character. He has been at it over.thlrty years and you see what ho has.

WHY WE H ATE BRITAIN

CONTINENTAL RACES HAVE MANY REASONS FOIl THEIR FEELING. American Animosity, It Is Araned, Has Lens Substantial Ilasls Are "We Jealous nnd Xnrrowt New York Evening Post. No one who took the trouble during the late crlrls to look into the Jingo mind can have failed to find, behind all irritation about the Monroe doctrine or the Venezuelan boundary, a deep hatred of Kngland and a strong desire to do her some kind of harm. As the same feeling Is very rife in other countries France and Germany, for instance it Is worth while' to examine its nature and causes. It is not difficult to account for it in Europe. No nation there quite likes the men of any other nation. International hates or dislikes are the natural result of five hundred years of wars, carried on. until very recently with great atrocity, about boundaries, about titles or for mere glory, or to preserve "the balance of power." Then differences of manners, and of standards of morality, and cf religion and trade Jealousies help to keep alive the old prejudices arising out of. these wars. It is only ninety years since Nelson taught his middles to "fear God, honor the King and hate Frenchmen" as the whole duty of young Englishmen. The great increase in intercourse between England and the continent has done a good deal to allay these antipathies, but it has supplied ether causes of English unpopularity, notably a more extensive contact with English manners. That these are good even the warmest admirers of England will not venture to assert. They have for a cen-' tury played a leading part among the sources cf anglophobla. The most provocative feature in them is the English habit of ignoring strangers in places where people are brought Into close contact, such as cafes, restaurants, hotels and public conveyances. In all such places few foreigners ever fall to acknowledge the presence of others, not as either gentle or simple, but as human beings. The foreigner cither bows, or speaks, or indicates by tones or looks or behavior of some sort that he is conscious of the presence of fellow-men. Englishmen are very apt, on the other hand, to affect absolute ignorance that they are not completely alone. By keeping a close watch on them they may often be caught taking a peep at you, by way of curiosity, but they instantly avert their gaze as if taken en flagrant delit in a low act, like reading private letters. All this to a Frenchman or Italian or South German is very galling or irritating. It is partly due to shyness, but also part.y to the English fear of making undesirable acquaintances, or, to put it differently, to an Englishmen's assumption of superiority to everybody whom he does not know. To this must be added an undeniable superiority to the mass of continentals in the matter of personal cleanliness and comfort. Of this matter the English have for a century madea careful study, and foreigners of the upper class widely Imitate it, but it enrages a great many of the other kind when forced by English travelers on their notice. The English differ, too, from the continenetals in this, that their code of manners makes no provision at all -for strangers. That Is, it does not "run," as the conveyancers say, with the individual himself, but with his acquaintances. An Englishman does not know how to behave to you till he knows who you are. He owes nothing to himself in his way of treating you. To a continental, on the other hand, his manners are part of his personal equipment, like his gloves or his cane. An Austrian or French gentleman is extremely polite to every one he meets, as something due to himself. He behaves this way because this is the way gentlemen ought to behave. The Englishman, on the other hand, only considers what the stranger Is entitled to in the way of consideration, and what this is he cannot tell till he finds out who ho is, and In the meantime he treats him with no consideration at all. OF OUIt OWN RACE. Most of these observations, however, willhardly apply to the American dislike pf England, for America has the same language and, if not the same religion, the same religious Ideas, and, if not of wholly the same race, thinks she is, and has bad only one short war with England since the beginning of the century.' Wars, too, which are carried on between peoples three thousand miles apart do not breed the Intense hates excited by an enemy on one's own borders. Then Americans have but very slight familiarity with English tr ers. Comparatively very few visit this . -y, and they are apt to be a picked cla 10 come over to marry our ncn girls. ie, too, our commerce with England Is . ormous. we have little or no commercial rivalry with her, because the protectionist policy which has substantially withdrawn us from the great foreign markets, or at all events, has treated them as undesirable objects of The usual answer a Jingo makes to-inquiry as to the cause of his desire to fight England is that she is "grabbing" and "insolent." There is a certain truth in both these charges. Hut her "grabbing" since 1815 has been, in general, of barbarous countries, as in India or Egypt, or of savage countries, as in Africa. In all these cases it has resulted in the covering with law and justice and security of vast populations who have for ages known nothing of these blessings. What is of more importance for the purpose of this discussion is that she has grabbed no territory to the benefits of which she has not admitted all nations on an equal footing. She has not in recent times attempted to apply to any of her possessions the old theory that colonies exist for the benefit of the mother country. Trade and protoectlon are offered to them all on equal terms, to Americans as well as to Englishmen. In every one of them the American enjoys all the rights and privileges which would be given him by American dominion. A British conquest is substantially an American conquest without the exnense and worry. Moreover, nothing has been "grabbed" from America. There is, and has been, no boundary dispute which has not been settled amicably. The British In Canada have been peaceable and unobjectionable neighbors. Any unpleasantnesses that have occurred have been caused by tariffs, and have been easily adjusted by1 retaliation.- The newspapers occasionally Interchange incivilities, but they have always been recognized as strictly "journalistic." and, therefore, harmless. So that it is hardly possible to find In the "grabbin?" charge a real casus belli that is, one of the motives which make men wish to kill their enemies, destroy their property, and fill their land with mourning. SIMILAR AMBITIONS. We think it likely that if the secrets of all hearts were known, the hostility to England would be found in the sort of ambition with which .our immense material development has filled so many people, and which makes even writers like Captain Mahan call for a Gibraltar or Malta of our own, and for "keys" in all sorts of out-of-the-way places by sea and land. The revelation which has come to us since the war of the extent cf our resources has spread the idea that to be a great Nation, as Great Britain is admitted to be, we must have a large number of outlying dependencies and a ve-y big navy as she has. These things seem to thousands. If not millions, the only visible signs of national success, like the rich man's furniture and "costly mansions." The jealousy of Great Britain expresses Itself, therefore, in the eager expectation of every Jingo, when he is golr.g to seize something himset, that England will come forward and try to take it from him. It will be observed that for a long time past every politician who was advising annexation or acquisition of any place has confidently predicted that If we did not take it, England would surely do so. The "insolence" complained of has not been shown In diplomatic correspondence, so It must be found in "social intercourse." Social Intercourse Is mainly limited to persons who go to England in search of society or acquaintances, and who, no doubt, often encounter snobs or depreciation, covert or open. Put the remedy for this is not war, but staying at home. It must be remembered, too, that we take no pains to present cur best national side to foreigners. In the choice of our consular and diplomatic representatives, for instance, we often seem to Invite their contempt, and the Impression our newspapers give , of us may be guesed from Matthew Arno.w s talk about them la his letters. The prosperity of these delineators of our life and manners naturally leads strangers to suppose that they faithfully represent us. and they create a view of America which is not flattering and is difficult to conceal. Put the cure for all this Is not throat-cutting anl &ou?e-

Explanation of an Inequality In the Sexes .Shown by 1he Census. New York Sun. The discovery has been made by prosaic and unromantic statisticians in town that according to the recent board of health census there are about 11.000 more women in New York than men. Between the ages of twenty and twenty-five the difference is much greater, the women numbering over 24.000 more then the men. There were returned by this census 96,000 men between the ages of twenty and twenty-five and l?).noo women. This apparent discrepancy a discrepancy which, in cold frankness, it must be admitted is rather arithmetical than real Is explained by the fact that in all countries In which a census of the Inhabitants is taken there appears to be a large preponderance of women during the period popu larly accepted as the marrying age. It would probably be ungallant to say that any young or middle aged woman would be willing to confuse the records of official enumerators and to discredit their accuracy by understating her a?e, especially if it be upward of thirty. The excess of female over male population in New York. Is, as before stated, 11.000. but the division between the two sexes is almost exactly equal up to and including the aw of fifteen. Of 52.000 children returned by the census as being less than one year old at the time when it was taken, the disparity between the two sexes was just fifty-seven. Of children between three and five y.ars of age there were 2.942 boys and 22.973 girls. When, however, the marriageable age, so called, is reached the usual alleged disparity between the sexes is shown by the latest census. The number of youths returned between the ages of fifteen and twenty (and some of these, perhaps, may have slightly overstated their ages), was 78.000, while the number of young women of, or claiming to be of. the same ase was 92.000. Hetween the ages of twenty and twenty-five, as before stated, the disparity is greatest between the . sexes 96.000 men and 120.000 women. From twenty-five to thirty the number of young women is overwhelmingly in excess of the numberor young men. but from thirty to thirty-five this condition Is exactly reversed, the number of men preponderating in even greater ratio. Between thirty-five and forty-five there are 128.O0O men and 119.000 women. lietween forty-five and fifty-five there are returned 83.000 men and 76.000 women, a difference which has no other warrant than that of universal usage in age giving. About fifty-five the normal proportion between the two sexes is shown by the recent enumeration to be resumed, and between fifty-five and sixty-five there are returned C9.073 men and 40,635 women, lietwecn sixty-five and seventy-five there ar returned 15.813 men and 18.2M women. "Women, as a general rule, live longer, because they live better than men. Thus, between the aces of sev-nty-five and eighty-five there were returned by the late census 3.9G3 men and 5,302 women. Above eighty-five the number of men returned was and of women $0. . One peculiarity in the report of the board, of health cn the subject of the. enumeration of New York's inhabitants Is this that of 4,000 residents who did "not know or who did not admit knowing their age, or concerning whom no definite information on the subject coul 1 be' secured, 2,9u0 wers men and only 1,100 women.
