TKRKK HAUTE, OCT. 25,1890

A FkOATUfti palace on the lake is promised as one of the novel attractions of the World's Fair.

IT seems that everything Goo. Chllds touches turns to gold. His book of "Recollections" has already bad a sale orer 200,000 copies.

the annual meetingof the Pullman Palace Car Company, the other day, it appeared that the earnings of the com pany for the year past amounted to 17 per cent. The capital stock is$25,000,000 and is worth over twice that much That's what poople pay Jor riding in sleeping cars.

BY

some singular oversight Alaska •was omitted in appointing commissioners for the World's Fair. But all the 'same Alaska is going right ahead to get up a good exhibit and will be on hand when the time coines. More than that Alaska will have things to show that will surprise the rest of the country and excite anew interest In tho great far northern territory.

IT

looks a little as though the authorities having tho enforcement of the eloc tlon law in charge were trying to make It unpopular on the ground of expensivoness. It Is said the State's expense at the coining election will be at least $20,000, while that of the counties will foot up half a million, or about$5,000 for each county. This seems to be an enormous cost for conducting an election Can it be that such an outlay Is necessary

AT

a rocent meeting of the Citizens association of Chicago, it was stated that it had been ascertained that over $60,000 each month is taken from the city by lotterlos. This means $000,000 a year for lotteries from ono city alone. How enormous then must be the amount drawn from all the cities, towns and villages In the United States! It Is a terriblo evil but It can be put down If It is fought hard and long enough, just as slavery and polygamy have been de stroyed. ______________

IT IS slated that after laying out some #300,000 on their pipes, etc., the company that had undertaken to pipe natural gas to Chlcego from the Iudlana gas fields has abandoned the work as Impracticable. If this Is true It Is a singular Instance of throwing away a big pile of money for nothing. What more is known now as to'the Impracticability of piping natural gas so great a distance than was known or could have been known before the company began work? So It seems that rich men sometimes mako mistakes as well as poor men.

Iritis true, as has been announced, that a canning factory In Indianapolis has reduced the wages of Its workmon 2T» per cent, for tho alleged reason that tho now tar 1 ft bill has advanced tho price of tin cans, the company ooght to be ashamed of Itself, for resorting to such demagogy. Tho Increased duty on tin plate duty does not take eflfect for plight months and In the meantime the foreign manufacturers aro stralulng every nerve to get all tho tin possible In to'the United Slates. There Is no excuse for such chloauery and it ought not to bo tolerated.

THK

anti-lottery act recently patsed

by Congress threatens to produce results not at all contemplated by its framers. The question has been raised In several places whether the law does not prevent carrying In the mulls papers containing advertisements of church fairs, guessing contests, etc. The postoftloe department has the matter under advisement and a decision Is expected at an early day. A judicial decision that would put church fairs on the same moral basis as the Louisiana lottery might have some Influence In breaking down a method of getting money for religious purposes which has long been condemned by many church members.

told in

a

recent address that women have been lifted to a higher level than she ever hoped to live to s«e and that the beneficent

changes

In the laws had been made

by men. This is in line with what this paper has often said, via: that there la no antagonism between the sexes, men being as much interested in the welfare of women as women are themselves. The sexes are the two halve® of the race and the race goes forward together, not one-half at a tlwe. The old notion that men, not as individuate, but as a max, were oppressing women as w*, is thoroughly exploded. All men have wives* sisters or mothers how could they feel otherwise than kindly and helpful to them?

people will be surprised at the

new# that Justice Miller, or the United States Supram* court, left nothing but hi* home S« Washington and that hi* Widow may have \a take boarders is orderto gain a livelihood. The salary of the judges Is tHKm Mr. Miller was on tho bench for many years* Barslv something onght to be out of s«ch a salary by indent manag*. roenu The answer of eowrwy is that ofSterribly ex*

not to entertain so lavishly that his en tire salary is consumed from year to year. Justice Miller would have set a good example and been not less but more respected for it, if he had saved a reasonable portion of his salary for the support of his widow.

THE

beauty and sanctity of married

life was fittingly illustrated ai Fremont, Neb., the other day, when Mr. and Mrs. James Van Anda celebrated the six tieth anniversary of their wedding. They are 80 and 82 years old respectively and have reared a family of ten chil dren, ail the survivors of whom, with many other relations, were present. A touching declaration of the old man was that he loved his wife just as much as be did sixty years ago. When two people love and live together like that it shows the beanty and strength of the marriage tie. A pretty incident of the occasion was the baptism of eleven great-grandchildren of the couple on the lawn before the homestead. It is rare indeed that a married couple live to celebrate the sixtieth anniversary of their marriage.

MOST

people Imagine that the only

thing they need to make them happy is money. If only they had plenty of money they would ask for nothing else. Men who get money find that this is far from being the case. A wealthy Boston merchant said recently: "Money in itself is of very little account. I would not give five cents a bushel for it it don't bring happiness I am happy, but it is not because I h»v* money but in spite of it. Happiness is a matter of disposition and money cau neither bring a good disposition nor happiness. My happiest days were when I had a small family and a salary just big enough to support that family. Then I was free from this care, this heavy responsibility, and I didn't feel as though I bad to hustle every day I lived in order 6o keep in the procession." Doubtless the experience of many others is similar. There is just so much after all that any one can enjoy in this world and most of the best things—life, health, the beauty of nature, the best thoughts of all the ages, the love of wife, children, friends and home, a good heart and contented mind—all these have very little to do with money. Money buys some luxnuries which the rich have beyond the poor, but happiness does not consist in luxuries, and It is as true now as it was two thousand years ago, that "a man's life does not coHsiat in the abundance of the things he possesseth."

"ORIGINAL PACKAGES. The Prohibition folks are stirred up not a little over the recent decisions on the original package law. It will be remembered that the Supreme court of the United States decided that under the Inter-state Commerce law liquor shipped into one State from another couldbe sold In the original packages notwithstanding State prohibition laws. Congress thereupon passed a law which provides that after such packages of liquor have entered the State they become subject to the laws of sura State and are no longer under the protection of the United States.

The later* decisions complained of aroso undor this law and the courts hold that the Supreme court having declared the prohibitory laws unconstitutional, the uew act of congress did not r^ive them and they are a dead letter until new ones are passed. All that is necessary, therefore, is tho onactment of new prohibition laws In those States where such laws previously existed, and If the prohibition seutiment continues as strong as it was in those States no trouble will be experienced In enacting new prohibitory statutes at tho next meeting of their legislatures.

AS TO PR BACHING.

Dr. Jos. Parker, of London, wants to know what the people think of preaching in these days and Invites public expression of oplulon to assist him in the preparation of an address on the subject. He say* the pulpit is dyingof cowardice and homage to conventionality and that If 1,800 of the 2,000 preachers In England were never to preach again the world would bo better off. And from what we know of Church of England preachers we are inclined to think the doctor about right.

In America the case is some different and some better. Our ministry is not supported by "church livings" and Is far more independent than is the English clergy. Yet there is wide room for Improvement even here. Undoubtedly there is too little of plain, earnest bible preaching In these days. Dr. Mclntyre, of Chicago, believes there is as much room and as much need for preaching now as there evW has been. He says: "Men will follow a real preacher who gives them the authentic gospel as hungrily as ever. His galleries will need doable props, crowds ,will attend his ministry. The press will take up his talk and toss it into 10,000 homes* The newspaper has not decreased the influ ence of the preacher, it has increased it. If it snowed newspapers two feet deep in the streets men would wade through them to hear a living man proclaim a burning uicssssge of eternal truth,"

And ho is rlghu The proof is In the fart that crowds attend wherever such proachlng is to be heard. Quite recently the witter was privileged to attend a sariea of protracted meetings addressed preacher of simple, eatWt bible truths, Thecfeureh was packed at every meeting. The same people went again and agal». All classwesof t&eemmnnity attended. Tb«y«mldm*t, It seemed* get enottgh of these simple, touching —fda whleh came warm from a heart fiL^ to with the spirit of difitt* trash and love. A» the himself

the right way. So It was when Jesns Christ was upon earth and so it is to-day. If there could be just one such preacher of gospel truth in every town it would not be long until all America would be converted. Jj-

As Dr. Henson puts li: "The trouble with modern preachers is that th^£* are too ambitious and vie with so much that, wanting to be the brainy, they preach philosophy instead of religion, lite general public cannot understand the modern transcendental preachers and so I believe in preaching the simple gospel as it is written."

Certain it is that ministers who so preach have the largest congregations and accomplish the grandest results.

KOBSOK AND THK HKNR1KTTA. The coming of Stuart Robson to Naylor's Thursday evening, October 30th, will be heralded with much delight by our theater-going populace. He will appear in the wittiest of American comedies, "The Henrietta." Not only have we a clever play to be produced but a comedian, Mr.

Stuart Robson. What we

may say to our readers in an introductory way of his capabilities would be useless, as be is so highly esteemed both its a gentleman and an artist. Mr. Robson will undoubtedly surround himself with a cast of much capabilities as can be seen by the following: .pg 2ft«h«ias Van Aiysty««r "Old Kick iirthe il itnet .. ...Geo.8. Wo^dard

Edward Strauss and his famous Viennese orchestra will appear at Naylor's Monday afternoon and evening. The programmes have been made up of the most popular compositions played by the famous band. Strauss recently concluded a highly successful run of ever one hundred nights at the big Madison Square Garden, New York, and haftftpce traveled West, through Can the proverbially phlegmatic unbended before the Irreslstibl and his men, and the demands for encores were as frequeut and us hearty in the Canadian cities as thoy were in New York. The power off the Strauss musicians to delight the senses antf sway the emotions is Indisputable. I^overs of music, of whatever class they may be, sit entranced under their matchless playing, and the erudite and ignorant moot on common ground before the baton of the magnetic little-Saxon whose name is a watchword wherever music is loved. Soats for both the afternoon and evening concerts may now be secured of Button's book store. The advance sale of seats is exceedingly large. Every seat will no doubt be taken* for both concerts.

that It could not well avoid finding favor with our best tbeater-goers, and In the hands of such admirable artiste as ere to be found in Mr. Frohman's company. It is a grand play, it is sodelicately written and is so tender in its human truth that it steals over and wins an audience almost immediately. It is extremely well written, and there is no strain for effect, the scenes, the situations and the climaxes come naturally as the plot unfolds. It is such a play as every theatergoer tikes to see, lor it takes a firm hold on the heart, while Ik never quite gets to the risibilities, so dexterously are comedy and pathos interwoven. "The Wife" is one of the daintiest morsels our amusement seekers will have tasted this season. It is the grandest triumph in comedy the stage has known for years. It will be presented here by a strong company and with an exact 5opy of the original scenery and accessories* The advanoe sale for this engagement will
