Every sport or new thing brings iti
t-lang or cant with it, which in tirat
may became refined into tho pcriua
Lent language. Tho latest among the
bicyclists or "bikes" is to call all
womankind "bloomers." When n ftl
low has "wheels in his head" or "t
tcrew loose," tho bicycle slang eayi
"his lamp is out" or "his tiro ii
down."
Tho American School of Classio
Studies at Athens is doing good work
in excavating for art and archaeologi
cal remains in flrece, states tbe San
Francisco Chronicle. Dr. Schlio
mann, single banded, did a largo
amount of valuable work in this field
and mado many discoveries that have
helped scholars to a biter npprocia
tion of tho windy plain of Troy and
of tho characters and incidents of tho
Iliiad, It seems curious that Ameri
cans should tako the lead in this work,
but both in Greece and in Assyria they
have ap,. T li'tQ' " . Wr-.ViiV-recent
years.
Tho San Francisco Chronicle ob
serves: 'Tho latest addition to the
ranks of professional 'gun men' is Bat
Mustersou, tho notorious Colorado
Marshal, who claims that he has been
hired as a bodyguard for George
Gould. Whether tho Now York mill
ionaire has engaged the services of
this former terror of evil-doers is un
certain, but one thing is sure if ho
wishes to lead a quiet life in Colorado
and have no trouble with desperadoes,
ho couldn't do better than hiro Mas
terson. Tho tatter's reputation as a
dead shot is so well known tkut ouly
a desperately reckless mau would pull
a weapon upon him. Masternon's
privato graveyard is large, but it can
be said to his credit that of the twenty
eight men whom he has killed every
ono was shot in tho discharge of his
duty us Town Marshal."
The "yellow peril" is what is row
troubling excitable folk in Europe,
eays tho New York Tost. The phraso
covers tho fear of a tremendous con
flict impending with tho yellow races
of tho Orient. It is to come, first of
all, in tho form of a crushing indus
trial competition. China and Japan
nro not extending their commercial
treaties for nothing. They are plan
ning to do the most gigantic dumping
of cheap goods upon helpless Ktiropo
that tho world ever saw. With their
cheap ami inexhaustible labor supply,
with their patience, their artistic en
dowment, their ipiickness to adopt
find appropriate all mechauio arts,
who can stand agaiust them? l'er
haps tho atllicted Europeans will try
to repel the cheap goods by force of
arms, but that will only bring on an
unequal combat with tho swarming
millions who are even now aching for
a chance to overrun Europo. These
horrible imagining will do to furnish
forth an evening's gossip or evoke edi
torial wisdom, but they are about as
reasonable as it would be to supposo
that the megalosuurus would bo too
much for man if he took to threshing
around the earth again. Brains are
better than numbers to fight bruto
force and barbarians with, and tho im
pending ravaging of Europe by tho
hordes of tho East is even leaf likely
to coma off now than any time theso
two thousand years, during which it
Las been steadily predicted but never
realized.
AN EN0RM0O3 GATHERING.
A MIGHTY HOST-

A SILVER CONFERENCE.
Senator Jones Explain the Meeting to
be Beld In Washington.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, who joined with
Hanntors Harris und Turt le In issuing a call
for a conference ot silver democrats In Wash
ington. August 18. lias written a letter to a
friend In Washington, explaining tbe origin
of thu cad and the purposes ot tbe meeting.
He says:
"At Memphis, after tbe adjournment of the
meeting there, a number of liemocrats from
different states had a meeting at the Gapoo
hotel, and a'ter consideration that meeting
requested benators Harris. Turplo and my
self to take steps to organize the silver Iicmo
crats to thnt they should be fairly represent
ed in the next national convention. We con
cluded that the b st way to do this was to
first orgsulze a nattonalVentral committee of
silver Iiemocrats, Consisting of one or more
members for each state, and let these memb
ers look after tho organization ot their own
states. To select gentlemen for members of
tbls committee by correspondence seemed
slow; bence It wns concluded to invite one or
more gentlemen of character and experience
from each state to meet In Washington and
select. If they thought well of it, this central
committee. That is all tbero la of It as 1 un
derstand." The general Impression seems to gone out
that this conference was to be a mass meet
ing. Senator Jones' statement puts It In a
different light.
COLLAPSE OF A RESERVOIR.

Injured One Han.
Tbe eollapso of an artlflcal reservoir con
taining a large quantity of water at tbe cor
ner ot Main uud Sixth street, Council Hluffs,
la., destroyed considerable property and
probably fatally injured J. A. Keller, an en
gineer. Thu theory advanced by some of tin
members of the Are department Is that tbe
constniit jarring of tbe engines and perhaps
the movement of the water gradually weak
ened tbe walls of the building.
At noon tbe neighbors for a block around
were startled at a crash, and found that tbe
walls ot the engine room for a dlsrance of
perhaps '10 feet lay with hardly one brick on
top another. The root bad caved In and the
repervolr was pouring out Its contents in a
Hood. Ho suddenly did tbe erai-b como that
Englueer Keller did not have time to get out.
A big irou water pipe fell in such a way as to
make a sort of archway over him. He was
nearly drowned by the Hood His body is a
mass of bruises from head to foot.

led one of their men aud tbey were thrown
out of the competition. Tbe struggle Is finish

without a genuine tost with single one ol

The story ot the melancholy affair Is a very
brief ouo. Tbe Americans took the lead over
Trinity at tbe very start and maintained It
with every Indication of winning until the
mile post was nearly reached. Tbe Cam
bridge men were then gaining slightly, but
Cornell's lead wss more than naif a length,
and tbe winning post was only a quarter of a
mile away, when Fennell caught a crab and
the end of tbe oar struck him a blow in tbe
side which completely disabled bim. His
companions tried to help him and made three
attempts to row on without bis aid, but that
was impossible. Tbe Injured man did not
faint, as at first reported, but was unable to
