A twenty.five-story building is to be erected in New York, one hundred feet square and on land worth SIOO a square foot, or $1,000,000 for ten thou sand square feet. The building, 325 feet high, will cost only $1,400,000, only 40 per cent, more than the land. Offices are expected to rent for $2 a square foot—sßoo for a room twenty feet square. As long ago as 1853 it was attempted by a study of French statistics to prove that marriage is a "healthy es tate." In a recent series of articles in a Txindon paper Frederick I* Hoffman makes a similar claim and believes ♦ hat he has clearly proved that the mortality of single people of both sexes is greater than those who are married, excepting only that of women between the ages of 15 and 44 years. One of the newly discovered con stituents of our atmosphere, the gas krypton, displays, when examined through the spectroscope, a character istic group of green lines, which are the same as those observed in auroras tinder similar circumstances. The fact leads Prof. Ramsay, the leading Brit ish authority on the gases of the at mosphere. to believe that the auroral color may be due to an accumulation or concentration of krypton near the poles. One man in Battle Creek. Mich., Is spending $3,000 a day in advertising a cooked cereal food which .eight years ago, this same man was peddling by the bag to the grocers of the immedi ate neighborhood. He got an idea, clung to it with unswerving tenacity, developed it with indefatigable energy and overcame obstacles by sheer grit —he advertised —and now his idea pours into his coffers, almost automat, ically, an income of several thousand dollars a day. Of all tha giants that have appeared before the public within the last 30 or 40 years none can be compared with the imposing Russian who has recently been on "xhibition in Berlin. Germany. Feodor Machow, of Kustjaky, Russia, is now about 22 years of age. He is 7 feet 9 inches in height and can there fore be classed with the largest giants that have ever lived. He exceeds in height all the known living giants by at least a head, and is in many respects of great scientific interest. The elevation of Sir Charles White to the rank of field marshal puts Ire land in the position of furnishing three field marshals out of nine to the Brit ish army, or four if the duke of Con naught is included. Sir T. Kelly-Ken nv, an Irishman, is adjutant-general; Sir lan Hamilton, a Scotchman, is quar. t.ermaster-general; Sir Edward Ward, permanent undersecretary of the war office, is also a north country man.and Ixird Kitchener, the Indian command er-in-chief, is of Irish birth. Savage races are popularly credited with great acuteness of vision, but re cent observations by Dr. W. H. Rivers on the primitive tribes of Murray Island show that the superiority is only slight, although on his "native heath" the savage's familiarity with his surroundings gives him an advant age over civilized man. It is to this familiarity with the minutest details of his evironment, rather than to any natural visual acuteness, that I)r. Rivers attributes the superior ability of a savage to recognize distant ob jects. The most unique of any of the moon shine stills ever broken up by govern ment agents was one captured in Gior_ gia in September last year. It was so small that the moonshiner carried it about in a valise and had plenty of room for several bottles of mash. All he had to do when he found » customer was to find a secluded spot, set up his Still and serve his drinks. It came to grief because he failed to select a thick enoii'-'h clump of bushes. The operator fell into the hands of revenue agents at the same time the miniature still was captured. "Princesschen," as the only daugh ter of Emperor William of Germany is popularly designated, grows apace, and is more than ever 'he delight of her father, who, it is said, the small princess rules with a rod of iron. It is one of the prettiest sights imagin able to see fai.uer and daughter to gether. The greatest desire of Prin cesschen for the moment is to ride with her father in the park. She is very indignant that her brothers should Ivive a privilege hitherto de nied to herself and her desire may oon be gratified. FUTILITY OF TRUST ISSUE. President lliiotrirll'a T'L lll(■]■)' Inler- YClltion HUH HeoNMtireil I In- L'co lile of nirir Security. That the merger decision lias im mensely strengthened President Koosevelt and the republican party for the struggle coming next year is perfectly apparent. The decision is a vindication of the Roosevelt method of dealing with the so-called "trust" problems. It is a u iumph for sane and conservative but e-Jlective policies. It confuses and discredits the plans of the radicals who vould like to set the country aflame with appeals to the same passions that were awakened in 1890, says the Des Moines Register and I-eader. Moreover it is clear that the sober se-xwid thought of every class of peoplt approves the decision. In the financial centers, among bankers and investors, in Wall street itself, the predominant sentiment is one of satisfaction and even relief that bounds have been set to the tendency to establish a mon archy in the business world. It is realized that the Northern Securities plan had far-reaching and dangerous possibilities. Even if the consolida tion which it effected proved as inno cent and as advantageous to the public as its promoters promised it to be, it would be a dangerous power togo un challenged. Tlie rights of property must be respected, but property that PLAY BALL! The Players Are Ready, But the Umpires Insist on Discussing the Last Game M I n !»•'« |»OL i* JIIU rial. is created by great public grants and franchises must be administered in conformity with approved public pol icy. The railways of the country are not private property in the sense that the owners may do with them as they please; private capital is invested in them with the express understanding that they are subject to public super vision and the declared policy of the nation is against the tendency to con solidation that was an issue in this case. The state of Minnesota had distinct -1 yand formally forbidden this consol idation, and an attempt had,been made to defeat this mandate by organizing a corporation that would not be sub ject to the laws of Minnesota. The at tempt. reveals a higher power, residing in the constitution, and even back of the constitution in the common law. ample for the protection of every pub lic interest. The lesson is a very whole some one. it is a new admonition that the people are. sovereign, and that the most potential organization of capital is subject in the exercise of its powers to their will. It is irflo and foolish in this country to attempt to evade or defy public opinion. It is unwise to tempt it to impatience. The conserva tive judgment of the country realizes this and recognizes that the rights of property are not less secure but more secure because of the suit brought and decision obtained against the -North ern Securities company. Without the practical measures which have been taken by the Roose velt administration to define and es tablish public co.itrol over aggrega tions of capital, the country would have gone into another campaign with the public mind agitated, uneasy and liable to panic 011 this subject. The presi dent realized the peril ir> the country of that situation. He realized the im portance of having the public assured of its rights and security, and of having a system of supervision and re straint developed under pruden< direc tion. The measures for which lie as sumed responsibility liave virtually eliminated the"l rust" issue from par tisan politics. The results already achieved have advanced the lountrv so far toward a solution of the problem, and have so completely demonstarted the wisdom and good faith of his poli cies, that the people will have 110 desire to change the managevnent to new leadership.

Collapnie of llio Room Thai I Wa* Start ed for C«p»ver clunU'ii («11 ili(lat')'. The Cleveland third term i;ilk has suddenly ceased. It ended immediate ly after the ex-president's appearance at a meeting in favor of Booker Wash* inpfton's institution. A democrat who will voluntarily seat himself on a plat form with a negro has nn chance for any favors at the hands of ihe demoi eratie party. Moreover, a democrat? who talks in favor of the thing which that negro advocates can never npaln lie accepted as a tit personage for dem ocrat honors, says the St. Louis Globe- Democrat. Thus the third term 14>om has col lapsed. Not many persons in the Unit ed States took that talk seriously. Consequently, not many w ill be disap pointed at the wind-up of the move ment for a new nomination for the ex president. It is doubtful now if Mr. Cleveland could carry South Carolina or Mississippi if he were nominated. His candidacy would be held in those states to mean negro domination, and he would be cut almost as badly as Lincoln was there in 18G0. Even as a contribution to the gayety of politics that- propaganda to harmonize the democratic party by putting up its principal unharmonizer is dead. Of course, if there were the slight est chance for the democracy to win under any leadership there would have been no word at all in favor of the third term nomination for Cleveland. It was a sign of despair which everybody could grasp. The democrats who ad vocated Cleveland's candidacy next years raised the flag of distress, as everybody could see. When the coun try refused to give a third term to the •.•onqueror of the rebellion it was easy enough to see that that would be re fused to any man in the ranks of the democratic party to-day. Possibly a Cleveland man will be put up in 1904, and if so he will he cut by the other section of the party. It makes no dif ference in the result whether a man is put up for a third term which he can not pet. or a new man is nominated for a first term which he has not the faint est chance to receive. The year 1904 is going to be a bad season fori he dem ocratic party of the United States. COMMENT AND OPINION.

CALLED IT A BATTLE SONG. II May Have tltci an "Ave Maria," Bat tlie i'a inter Couldn't Thi 11U So. Guests at musical parties are not com monly expected! to be especially attentive. They may talk to any extent, dependent largely on tiie amiability of their hostess. Kut the conduct of a foreign painter in New York surprised his hostess the other night. It also surprised the guests at this enter tainment given m his honor. He was seat ed in the front row, and was the most conr spieuous person in the room next to the popular contralto, who had just begun to sing. Before she had) finished the first verse the guest of honor arose, walked to his hoste.-s, said goodi-night, and prepared to leave, relates ttie New York Sun. "But you won't go now in t'he midst of her song," ffiid the hostess, "it is an 'Ave Maria.' It would embarrass her terribly." lly this time all eyes were turned on the painter, but he seemed quite indifferent. "She may call it an 'AVe Maria,' " he said. "I should say it was a battle song." With that comment the painter left tiie hou--e. He has not been allowed to enter it again. To Australia. Circuit tour tickets covering the railroad trip to the Pacific Coast and via the various trans-Pacific steamship lines to the far East, are each day becoming a feature of greater popularity to the traveling public.

Ihe transcontinental train service and the trans-Pacific steamship service are of the highest possible character and the time required for making these journeys is much less than ever before.

The Yellowstone Park, the nation's play ground, is larger than the State of Delaware and nearly twice as large as Bhode Island. As in size it exceeds all other national parks of the world combined, so in grandeur and scenery it is unequaled. Here are located the eight great geysers of the world. Mount \\ashburne, one o£ the peaks in the park, has an altitude of 10,388 feet. The whole park is an area of wonders unparalleled. It is from I,OHO to 5,000 feet above tiie level of the sea and is therefore within the zone of two seasons. But to really know this wonderland you should take a trip througli there. You can not spend a vacation season more profitably or more pleasantly. The Chicago, Mil wau kee & St. Paul Railway offers choice of routes to and from Yellowstone Park. If you are interested, complete information about tiie cost of the trip, choice of routes, train service and tickets will be furnished on request. 1-'. A. -Miller, General Passenger Agent, Chicago.
