Eggs are now quoted on the Baltimore market by the pound, and the day when the fruit of the Bantam will realize as much cash for the chicken fancier as the product of the Shanghai hen has gone by in the Monumental City.

Bandits three bold and free sailed into a gambling house at Cour d Alene,-Idaho, one night recently, held up the crowd, swept the tables and drawers clean of cash, backed out gracefully and got away with the swag unharmed. Robbery is getting to be a fine art in these United States.

wide berth. This is a "wide, wideworld," and it is altogether unnecessary for civilized people to go where their presence is considered detrimental to the interests of the Stale and country to such an extent as herein indicated.

The portable property of the Prospect street Methodist Episcopal Church, of Indianapolis, was recently sold at constable s sale. The property consisted of carpet, desks, a cabinet organ and a n um ber of chairs. The congregation had "staved off" the execution a number of times, hoping to be able to pay the debt, but could not do so. It is estimated that 20,000,000 people have been made happy by passing through the gates of Jackson Park into the fairyland beyond, but the latest statistics show that at least 1,430,000,000 unfortunate mortals failed to avail themselves of the greatest privilege ever offered to mankind. There is a '"heap" of nursing in this world.

The brick and mortar battleship Illinois which has cruised off the coast of Cook county for several months in ail the panoply of war and red paint will continue on that station for some time to come; provided the rampant anarchists w)0 seei bent on murder and destructwp in that locality do not blow it up with

Congressman Cooper, of Indiana, has introduced a bill to tax greenbacks. The bill states that greenbacks are no longer in general circulation, but are held and used to cheat the assessor. These statements are probably true, but there is the further probability that the bill will be held unconstitutional by the Su preme Court, even if it should receive the sanction of both Houses and the signature of the President. Indianapolis merchants, both wholesale and retail, are "squealing" about the drain that has been made on their trade and anticipated traffic, as well as on their collections, by the World's Fair. Careful estimates show that during the last ninety days an average of one thousand persons have daily gone from that city and the territory that draws its supplies from there, to Chicago. Estimating an average expenditure of $20 for each person, this has made a drain on Indianapolis of $20,000 a day. Summed up it has been a very expensive experiment for the Hoosier capital.

It is stated as a fact that the hard times have affected the undertakers of the country worse than almost any other line of trade. Not only are funerals conducted, on the average, in a less expensive manner, but fewer people die in a panic year than 'in prosperous times. This fact has been established by statistics. The mortality during the last year has 'been remarkably light, from Maine to California. Traveling men who !sell embalming compounds, burglar- ; proof grave vaults, and funeral accessories of all kinds have scarcely sold enough to prvy expenses. People generally shonld be able to see in this pleasant state of affairs some more of the "silver lining" to the dark clouds of financial adversity that have for some time afflicted us.

The government of Nicaragua has adopted a "Know Nothing" policy that would have delighted the most selfish reformer of ante-bellum days. In fact, the authorities of that diminutive power believe in lia government of Nicaraguans, by Nicaraguans, for Nicaraguans," in the fullest sense of that overworked quotation. Foreigners of all nationalities are subjected to specifically heavy taxes, and under existing statutes can be compelled to loan the government money on its own terms if it can be proven that they are possessed of superfluous wealth that can be readily converted into cash to meet the government needs. Evidently immigration is considered very undesirable in that country, and emigrants who are well informed will no doubt cheerfully acquiesce in the exclusion policy that prevails and give the country a very

The magnificent benefaction embodied in the conditional gift of $1,000,000 by Marshall Field for the founding of the Columbian Museum, at Chicago, practically insures the preservation of the most remarkable features of the architectural grandeur that has delighted the millions of World's Fair visitors, for an indefinite period, and also insures the founding, extension and perpetuation of an institution whose influence will be an enduring monument to the memory of the great merchant prince for all time to come. The conditions imposed are that an other half million dollars be added to the gift by other citizens of Chicago, and that $2, 000. 000 of the stock of the World's Fair be assigned to the trustees of the proposed museum. George M. Pullman has a! ready offered $100,000 of the amount desired, and the indications are that the conditions will be easily complied with, and the enterpi-ise is already spoken of as an assured fact. This mode of disposing of their surplus wealth by Chicago nabobs is certainly an improvement over the proposed movement to raise a .heavy purse for the impoverished Duke oi Veraffua.

The American navy now has in the -water and rapidly approaching completion three of the most powerful battleships in the world, the Oregon being the last vessel to be launched. The cost will perhaps reach $10,000,000, while the fitting up and batteries will be extra. The armored belts of these vessels extend three feet above the water and four and one-half feet below, being eighteen inches thick, and extending along three-fourths of the length of the length of the ship. Above the belt armor the vessels are protectee bv five inches of steel. A heavy curved, protected deck slopes so as to reach four and one-haif feet be low the water-line, covering the machinery and magazine, and the side armor is backed up by six inches of wood, an inch and a half of steel and a coal belt ten feet thick. Each of these vessels can throw at a, single discharge of its batteries 6,800 pounds of projectiles. Each carries four thirteen-inch guns in turrets, eight eight-inch guns on the superstructure, and four six-inch guns. All the ordnance is of the most approved and modern pattern, and is wonderfully effective at distances of from one to two miles.

A Picture from Barbadoes.

lI was writing, this morning,

about six o'clock; and although the sun was not quite up, the pervadent light thatnever quite leaves Barbadoes was reflected back from sea to desk, through breadfruit and cocoa-nut-palms, as soft as from a sunset cloud," William F. Hutchinson, M. D., tells us in the November New Peterson. "My thermometer marked 77 degrees, and the sweetness of the night was not yet gone. Perfumes of awaking rose and jasmin mingled with dying odors of la bonita dei noche, the lady of the night; and daysounds of birds and men were usurping the nightfrog's song, whose musical double note still vibrated through the air. Peace and life reigned around, and as the pure warm salt air filled farthest gr-oup of lungcells, sending blood clear to the tips of one's toes, life was very well worth living at almost any cost, and this lovely island seemed more attractive thanever. " New York Side Show. Washington Post. New York is going to have the cream of the Chicago Exposition in the form of a World's Fair Prize Winners' Exposition. A huge building has been erected near Grand Central Station. It has six stories and 300,000 feet of floor space. The general manager, Mr. Daniel Brown, is at Chamberlain's. "The exposition," said he, "will be a microcosm of that at Chicago. We will have the best of everything that was at Chicago, and will profit by the experience of the World's Fair managers. Some of the best features of the Midway Piaisance will be in New York, and we have the pick of the foreign exhibits of Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria, Russia. Italy, Sweden and other countries. The art exhibit will be particularly fine. We will have Cairo street, the Persian theater and the Java village." In a Sleeping Car. New York Journal Let the fastidious woman that pro tests that she must take a sponge, flesh brush, bath rug and cut-glass toilet bottles of perfumery, cosmetics and toilet waters on a railroad journey learn something about the fitness of things . If she a has stateroom and a maid to carry her luggage it is a different matter, but aside from loading herself with these traps the woman who takes a berth will have absolutely no chance to use them. A sleeping car is hardly the place for a spongebath, even though the chances for a tidy ablution were better than they are.

TOriCS OF THESE TIMES. Tli ADC AND TJJE FAIR. The effects of the World's Columbian Exposition on the business of the country at large are questions on which authorities disagree. Mr. Henry Clews, the famous New York financier, has publicly expressed his desire for the indefinite prolongation of the Exposition because he believes that the Fair has been a great factor in preventing the most

disastrous consequences which oth- i

erwise would have surely followed the great business depression through which we have been passing.

Mr. Clews holds that millions of I

money have been put in circulation throughout the land on account of the Fair that under other circumstances would have remained hidden in vaults or other inaccessible hiding places. Fi;om the inception of the enterprise to this day it has furnished employment to myriads of men. Every iron beam and wooden joist and piece of glass and block of stone that has been merged into forms of beauty in the great structures of Jackson Park has been the product of American artisans and workingmen, of American mines and quarries and forests. Every railway throughout the land has felt the added impetus of increased travel on account of the tide of humanity that flowed to Chicago, and in a majority of cases increased equipment and increased number of employes has been the necessary result. That the railways did not profit in a larger degree was due to their own parsimonious policy at the beginning of the World's Fair traffic. Nearly every visitor to the Fair has bought dry goods and wearing apparel that they won Id have done without under other circumstances, thus adding largely to the general volume of trade at a time when traffic was practically stagnated.' On the other hand the country tradesman in all the territory within three hundred miles of Chicago is fully convinced that the Fair has been directly antagonistic to his interesta in every particular, and the one great cause of the financial troubles in the world at large. Taken in the sense meant by Mr. Clews there is no doubt but what the Fair has been beneficial to many lines of industry, but in the broad and comprehensive view of the political economist it must be reckoned as an extravagance, or rather an unneccessary

outlay as a holiday, beneficial as1

other holidays are, but still drawing on the resources of the country at large as a holiday at all times does upon the purse of the private citizen. Let us not delude ourselves with the vain idea that because the expenditures for a protracted series of fetes and jamborees have helped many people to put bread into their mouths that it is financial wisdom to continue the program un till the Day of Doom. 'A man can not lift himself by his boot straps'even a little bit, and it is a very old proverb and a true one that ''They who dance must pay the fiddler." We have danced and we have paid the fiddler, we have had a "time" to be remembered and our pocketbooks are sighing and some of us are crying for the wealth we squandered on Midway, and we're glad the "dooks" and critters and the palaquins and litters are going or have all gone away. Now if we will all stay at

home and ''saw wood" we doubtless can make up for lost time and perhaps save enough to go again to see the Court of Honor next fall, as it is already practically settled that that grandest of architectural aggregais to be indefinitely preserved. CHOKER'S CAREER. As an instance of the possibilities of ''practical politics" in this country, the career of Richard Croker, the noted Tammany chief of New York, is interesting. Born in poverty and obscurity in Ireland in 1843. he landed at Castle Garden in 1852, attending school and learning the trade of a machinist in the intervening years until 18(50, when he became prominent as a "rough and tumble fighter, which reputation he sustained until 18GG, when he defeated Richard Lynch in a Sunday prize fight. In 1867 he was elected alderman, serving until 1873, when he became coroner. In 1874 he was indicted for the murder of James McKecna, but was acquitted, and was again elected coroner in 1876. In 1879 he was defeated for coroner. In 1883 he succeeded again in a race for alderman, and was also appointed a fire commissioner of New York. In 1884 Sheriff Grant gave Croker's daughter $10,000 because the child is his god-daughter and because Croker was poor as he said. In Croker became the leader of Tammany Hall, and in 1889 was appointed city chamberlain, but re signed in 1890. During 1892-93 Croker is known to have expended

for race horses, farms and a city

residence not less than $685,001). This, in brief, is the history of a man who probably wields more power than the richest man or the most influential politician in the United States. As a man he is quiet, reserved, sphinx-like, lie never made a speech in his life. He could not. He has never had any regular business since ho served his apprenticeship as a machinist, except a brief connection with a real estate firm, to which he gave no personal attention. Only a little over three years ago he was regarded as a man of very moderate means. To-day he is accepted as a multi-millionaire. "Practical politics" pays sometimes if the practical politician succeeds in keeping out of the penitentiary and avoids open scandal. PASTE THIS IN YOUR HAT. Rev, Dr. Talmage. in a recent sermon, suggested that the press of the country might w.ell print the decalogue in their editorial columns to the exclusion of less important matter, So common have transgressions of the moral law become, the distinguished divine averred, that he fully believed that a large number of people had never read the Ten Commandments, and that, in fact, such publication would be in the nature of news and fresh information to a large number of people. We accept the suggestion, and present herewith extracts from the 20th chapter of Exodus, which embody the ancient and sadly fractured code: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything in heaven above or earth beneath, or in the waters under the earth. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. Honor thv father and thv mother that thy days may be long in the land. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors house, nor thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's. Comment is unnecessary. Paste this in vour hat for future reference.

Not What He Prayed For. Boston Bu pet. Small Robert had one desire that transcended ail others, namely, a bicycle. Now, Robert's family are of a religious turn, and here was an opportunity to inculcate devotion in the boy. So they told Robert that if ho prayed regularly perhaps God would send him a bievcic. Robert prayed. After he had been praying regularly for a month or more the anniversary of his bith arrived, and the family decided that it was about time to reward his devotion. But thinking that a bicycle might endanger the boy's life they bought him a tricycle. Small Robert came down on the morning of his birthday and was told that there was something out in the yard for him to look at. He went out to see, and there was the tricycle. But a tricycle was not what Robert wanted, and he looked up to heaven in disgust. (iO Lord1 he said reproachfully. "O Lord, don't you know the differ ence between a bicycle and a tricycle?" New Brickmaking Machine. New York Suu. A new brick baking machine is tr be noted among the recent mechanical novelties. It is a simple contrivance, consisting of a table cove re "J with iron brick molds, to which ar electric current is applied, the table being 8 by 14 feet, and holding 1,000 molds, joined together like pigeon hole. Each mold is the size of a brick which has been pressed but not baked, and each has a cover so litted as to follow the brick as it shrinks. The bricks are taken from the presses and placed in the molds, the cover adjusted, and the current turned on. Th iron sides of the mold form the 4 'resistance," and the brick are virtually inclosed by walls of fire. The brick having shrunk to the proper size, the sinking covers of the molds automatically turn off the current, the baking is done and the bricks are dumped. New Danger In Tobacco. New York Herald.

in some parts of the South so much paris green was used on the growing plants last seasoh that the crop was not only seriously injured, but thai the prodect was thus rendered dangerous for consumers. This condition of affairs certainly con f routs-
