I rlu'litflllly (land.
There are somo very pions peoplo in
Washington. You might not suspect it.
but it is novertholeHH true.
These people have entered on a crusade
against the Sunday ice cart. There must
bo no delivery of ico on the first day of
the woek. The romblo of the clumsy
cart must not be heard in tho streets to
excite the delicute nervous system of the
altogether too religious.
When a man is so awfully good that
he can't drink ico water on Sunday, his
case becomes serious, and a consultation
of eminent physicians ought to be had at
once.
Thore are folks so oddly constituted
that they have the hysteria over a Sun
day ice cart, but are u little bit too
shrewd in a horse trado on Monday. It
wouldn't do any harm if such people'a
religion wore to havo a hypodormio in
jection of common sonse. New York

llrltuln'a Hitter Political StruREle.
The final passage of the home rule bill
by the commons now seems to bo in
sight The committee stage may be
vexatious and slow, but the bill will go
through within a reasonable time and be
sent to its death in the house of lords.
That the dead bill will in the end prove
a weapon with which the house of poors
itself will be struck down is confidently
predicted by the Llhoral leaders. Before
thnt day comes, howover, Britain must
pass through the bittorest political strug
gle of hor modern history, and a strug
gle which will involve issues far greater
than those of the present measure.

Chicago Hospitality.
The large hospitality which Chicago
residents ore planning arouses a cordial
admiration. One woman who lives in
the outskirts of the city and has a large
lawn as well as big house, says: "We
havo secured a number of tents, which
we propose to pitch on the lawn and pro
vide with cota and conveniences. Here
we'll quarter the men when our house
overflows! as we expect it will most of
the time." Exchange.

I Rubinstein's sacred opera entitled
"Moses," on which the composer hus
been at work since 1881, has just been
put on the stage nt Brunn, Moravia.
The opera ia a series of eight acta, the
preeontatation of which occupies two
evenings. The most interesting part of
the work from a theatrical point of
view is the scene depicting the historic
events on Mount Sinai.
A Coiuul'i Bon Does a Skirt Dance.
i At a recent party at Biarritz Nigel
Belluira, son of the British consul there,
electrified the assembly by duncing, and
most gracefully too, a skirt dance, ap
pareled in the regulation mazes of filmy
gauze and lace petticoats. He looked
like an ordinary slim and good looking
young girl and was recalled again and
again by the delighted audience. Chi

Dnnt Know 1'reslnVnt Cnrnot
It will be very difficult for M. Carnot
to manago constituent elements of the
force to be controlled, nnd he certainly
is not managing them successfully now.
They are growing impatient of the me
diocre men he favors, perhaps a little
ashamed of them, and there is a dispo
sition in consequence to fasten responsi-,
bility on him personally in a manner
quite new. If he persists in his plnn, we
may see "surprises," ns M. do Blowitz
recently snid, which will tax to the ut
most the president's popularity nnd fur
nish a final test of a character still ex
ceedingly obscure.
M. Carnot has reigned for six years
and is not well known yet. And when
that happens in t r.rh a place ns Paris to
a man in such a posit ion there are usual
ly only two explanations of the fact thnt
are worth consideration. Either the
character is nbnormnlly reserved in
fact, a deliberately concealed one, a very
rare occurrence in France, where silence
is resented or there is no particular
character to be detected by observation.
Nobody is quite so hnrdtoroad as a man
in high place who has nothing in him,
nnd that, nfter all, mny be the explana
tion of President Cnrnot. London Spec

In tho construction of submarine ca
bles and ocean steamships our country
is far behind England, which leads the
world. At this time nn Americnn com
pany is lnying n cable from Peru to Cen
tral America, which was mado in Eng
land. At this time two great steamships
for a now line between America and
Australasia aro on tho stocks in nn Eng
lish shipyard. The English made the
new deep sea cablo between South Amer
ica and Africa. We recently bought our
best two Atlantic steamships in Eng
land. It is England that owns the most
of the Atlantic cables nnd owns a large
proportion of the Atlantio steamships.
By her cable lines on the beds of the
world's seas and her commercial marine
on these spas the power and the wealth
of England are immensely increased.
This country is wido awake a part of
the time, but England never sleeps.

Frenchmen Take to Rowing.
The unexpected dofcat of a London
rowing club eight on the Seine last au
tumn by a French crew has put fresh
spirits into Gallic oarsmen, and as a con
sequence we shall in all probability see
some French crows at Honloy regatta
this year. The Bas Soine Rowing club
of Paris will enter crews for the grand
challenge cup (eights), Stewards' chal
lenge cup (fours), and the silver goblets
(pairs). M. Boudin of the same club
will probably start in the diamond
sculls. A Canadian scullor has also sent
in an entry for the last named event, so
that the regatta, which is fixed for the
first Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
in July, promises this year to be par
ticularly interesting. No doubt the Eng
lish clubs will do their best to atone for
the disaster on the Soine last October.

A Big lllalne Monument.
It is proposed to set np the big mono
lith quarried at Prentice, Wis., as a
monument to James Ot. Blaine. It is
the biggest stone ever quarried. It is
115 feet long, 10 feet square at the base
and 4 foot square at the top, and is 46
feet longer than Cleopatra's needle. It
cost $12,000 to cut it out of ita bed, and
it would cost $22,000 to transport it to
the World's fair. There is some doubt,
however, about its ever getting to Chi
