(As  arranged  bj'  the  Navy  Department) 

The  plan  is  to  divide  the  coast  from  Maine  to  Texas  into  six  districts,  each  one  to  be  in  command 
of  a  Lieutenant-Commander.  The  first  district  will  include  the  New  England  coast  as  far  south  as 
Newport;  the  second,  Newport  to  Baruegat;  the  third.  Barnegat  to  Cape  Henlopen;  the  fourth. 
Cape  Henlopen  to  C!ape  Hatteras ;  the  fifth,  Cape  Hatteras  to  Key  West,  and  the  sixth,  the  Gulf  Coast 

It  is  planned  to  use  the  naval  militia  forces  of  the  different  States  tf  man  the  fleets  of  guard  boats 
in  this  service.  The  vessels  will  cruise  about  off  the  coast,  and  upon  the  approach  of  a  hostile  vessel 
notify  the  nearest  coast  signal  station.  The  otficer  assigned  to  the  commi^.^d  of  a  district  will  have  a 
station  at  a  convenient  point  on  shore,  from  which  to  direct  the  movements  of  his  vessels.

AREA. 

THE  area  of  Cuba  is  41,655  square  miles,  just  a  few  hundred  more  than  the  State  of  Ohio.  The 
island  is  long  and  narrow,  and  follows  a  curved  line  through  its  centre;  is  720  miles  long  and  its  aver- 
age breadth  is  80  miles.  The  highest  part  of  the  island  is  the  range  extending  in  the  southeast  from 
the  Punto  de  Maysi  to  Cape  Cruz.  There  are  mountains  immediately  above  the  harbor  of  Trinidad  de 
Cuba  in  the  south,  the  highest  of  which  is  2,990  feet  above  the  sea  level.  The  climate  is  hot  on  the 
coast  and  temperate  on  the  higher  levels.  Ten  per  cent  of  the  area  is,  or  was,  cultivated.  There  are 
large  tracts  of  the  island  stiU  unexplored. 

POPULATION, 

A  census  taken  in  1887  reported  the  population  to  be  1.631,687.  Of  this528,998  were  negroes  and 
mulattoes.  The  present  population  is  uncertain.  Probably,  as  the  results  of  devastating  war,  it 
has  been  cut  down  at  least  a  fourth.  In  1887  76. 30  per  cent  of  the  population  could  neither  read  nor 
write.  There  were,  in  1887.  775  public  schools  in  the  whole  island.  The  population  of  the  prin- 
cipal cities  was:  Havana,  200,000;  Santiago  de  Cuba,  71,307;  Puerto  Principe,  46,641;  Holguin. 
34,767;  Sancti  Spiritus,  32,608;  Matanzas,  27,000. 

GOVERNMENT. 

The  island  is  divided  into  six  provinces,  each  with  a  capital  of  the  same  name.  The  Governor- 
General  is  assisted  by  a  council  of  administration,  but  his  power  is  practically  absolute.  The  constitu- 
tion of  Spain  of  July  2,  1876,  was  proclaimed  in  Cuba  by  royal  decree  in  1881,  and  from  that  date  the 
inhabitants  enjoyed  theoretically  all  the  rights  of  Spanish  citizens.  Cuba  elects  13  Senators  to  the 
Cortes  and  one  representative  for  each  50,000  inhabitants  to  the  lower  house  of  that  body. 

The  Spanish  Government  has  recently  establised  a  system  of  autonomist  or  local  civil  govern- 
ment iu  Cuba,  but  it  is  practically  a  form  only,  as  the  Military  Government  dominates  the  situation 
and  the  insurgents  have  refused  to  recognize  the  autonomous  administration. 

FINANCE. 
The  estimated  revenue  for  1897-98  was  24.755,760  pesetas  (value  of  a  peseta  193-10  cents  Amer- 
ican money),   but  not  nearly  as  much  as   that  was   actually  received.      The  debt   is   upward   of 
$350,000,000,  of  which  $50.000.000  is  due  the  Spanish  treasury. 

PRODUCTIONS. 

The  chief  produce  is  sugar  and  tobacco.  The  volume  has  been  immensely  decreased  by  the  war. 
The  tobacco  cropof  the  province  of  Pinar  del  Rio  in  1897  did  not  exceed  30,000  bales,  about  one- tenth 
of  the  yield  in  peace.  Nearly  all  the  tobacco  and  half  of  the  cigars  go  to  the  United  States.  There  is 
also  production  of  mahogany,  fruits,  honey,  and  wax.  United  States  Consul  Hyatt  gives  the  following 
particulars  of  the  productive  forces  of  Cuba: 

"Cuba  stands  in  a  geographical  position  which,  together  with  her  productive  soil,  mineral  wealth, 
and  climatic  conditions,  should  entitle  her  to  rank  among  the  foremost  communities  of  the  world,  a 
distinction  to  which  I  believe  she  will  soon  attain,  whenever  a  stable  government  and  cheerful  obedi- 
ence to  the  powers  that  be  present  to  the  home-seeker  and  investor  conditions  that  will  make  home 
plea.sant  and  capital  secure.  The  soil  is  a  marvel  of  richness,aud  fertilizers  of  any  kind  are  seldom  used 
unless  in  the  case  of  tobacco,  even  though  the  same  crops  be  grown  on  the  same  field  for  a  hundrecl 
years,  as  has  already  happened  in  some  of  the  old  sugar-cane  fields.  If  all  the  land  suitable  to  the 
growth  of  sugar-cane  weredevoted  to  that  industyit  is  estimated  Cuba  might  supply  the  entire  Western 
Hemisphere  with  sugar.  The  island  has  already  produced  in  a  single  year  for  export  1,100,000  tons, 
while  its  capabilities  have  only  been  in  the  experimental  stage. 

"In  mineral  wealth  Cuba  is  capable  of  taking  high  rank.  Gold  and  silver  have  not  been  found  in 
paying  quantities.  Copper  mines  continued  in  successful  operation  until  1867.  The  Iron  mines  of 
Cuba,  all  of  which  are  located  near  Santiago,  overshadow  in  importance  all  other  industries  on  the 
eastern  end  of  the  island,  constituting  the  only  industry  that  has  made  any  pretense  of  standing  up 
against  the  shock  of  the  present  insurrection.  The  ore  of  these  mines  is  among  the  richest  in  the 
world,  yielding  from  62  to  67  per  cent  of  pure  iron,  and  is  very  free  from  sulphur  and  phosphorus. 
There  are  numerous  imdeveloped  mines  of  equal  richness  and  value  in  this  region.  Cuba,  like  other 
tropical  and  semi-tropical  countries,  is  not  given  to  manufactui-ing;  her  people  would  rather  sell  the 
products  of  the  soil  and  mines,  and  buy  manufactured  goods.  The  possibilities  of  the  island  are  great. ' ' 

COMMERCE 
The  principal  imports  are  flour,  rice,  and  jerked  beef.  The  chief  exports  are  sugar  and  tobacco. 
Tlie  Spanish  official  returns  state  the  value  of  the  imports  from  Cuba  into  Spainifor  1895  to  have  been 
37.181.893  pesetas,  and  the  exports  from  Spain  to  Cuba  136,261,640  pesetas.  The  value  of  the  do- 
mestic exports  of  the  United  States  to  Cuba  in  the  fiscal  year  ended  June  30,  1897,  was  $7,599,757,  and 
of  the  imports  from  Cuba,  $18,406,815.     The  civil  war  has  reduced  the  volume  of  trade  materially.

JOINT  RESOLUTION  AS  IT 
FINALLY  PASSED  CONGRESS. 


^-^-^ 


Declaring    the    Independence   of   Cuba    and    Dennanding    the 
Withdrawal  of  Spanish  Sovereignty  Therefrom. 


Whereas,  The  abhorrent  conditions  which  have  existed  for  more  than  three 
years  in  the  island  of  Cuba,  so  near  our  own  borders,  have  shocked  the  moral  sense 
of  the  people  of  the  United  States,  have  been  a  disgrace  to  Christian  civilization,' 
culminating  as  they  have  in  the  destruction  of  a  United  States  battle-ship  with  266 
of  its  officers  and  creiw  while  on.  a  friendly  visit  in  the  harbor  of  Havana,  and 
cannot  long'er  be  endured,  as  ha®  been  set  forth  by  the  President  of  the  United 
States  in  his  message  to  Congress  of  April  11,  1898,  upon  which  the  action  of  Con- 
gress was  invited;  therefore 

Resolved,  by  the  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives  of  the  United  States  of 
America  in  Congress  assembled— 

First— That  the  people  of  the  Island  of  Cuba  are,  and  of  right  ought  to  be,  free 
and  independent. 

Second— That  It  is  the  duty  of  the  United  States  to  demand,  and  the  Govern- 
ment of  the  United  States  does  hereby  demand,  that  the  Government  of  Spain,  at 
once  relinquish  its  authority  and  government  in  the  island  of  Cuba,  and  withdraw 
its  land  ajid  naval  forces  from  Cuba  and  Cuban  waters. 

Third— That  the  President  of  the  United  "States  be,  and  he  hereby  is,  directed 
and  empowered  to  use  the  entire  land  and  naval  forces  of  the  United  States,  and 
to  call  into  the  actual  service  of  the  United  States  the  militia  of  the  several  States 
to  such  extent  as  may  be  necessary  to  carry  these  resolutions  into  effect. 

Fourth— That  the  United  States  hereby'  disclaims  any  disposition  or  intention 
to  exercise  sovereignty,  jurisdiction  or  control  over  said  island  except  for  the  paci- 
fication thereof,  and  asserts  its  determination  when  that  is  comple'ted  to  leave  the 
government  and  control  of  the  island  to  Its  people. 

This  resolution  was  signed  by  the  President  at  11.24  o'clock  A.  M.,  April  20,  1898.

ITS   AREA,   POPULATION,   GOVERNMENT,   ARMY   AND    NAVY,   PRODUCTIONS, 

COMMERCE,  AND   RELICION. 

AREA. 

The  area  of  Continental  Spain  is  191,100  square  miles,  being  about  that  of  the  combined  States  of 
Nevada  and  Idaho. 

POPULATION. 

The  population  according  to  the  census  of  1887,  ten  years  ago,  is  17,565,632.  of  which  8,612,524 
are  males  and  8,953,104  are  females.  The  population  per  square  mile  is  88.  The  population  of  the 
four  principal  cities  in  1887  was:  Madrid,  470,283:  Barcelona,  272,481;  Valencia  170,763:  Seville. 
143.182. 

As  to  occupations  in  1889,  4,854,742  of  the  population  were  engaged  in  agriculture,  24^,867  in 
textile  and  mineral  industries,  823, 310  in  trades,  194, 755  in  commerce,  409, 549  were  domestic  servants, 
115,764  in  the  merchant  marine,  84,510  were  in  the  professions,  91,226  were  inmates  of  asylums  and 
prisons,  72.077  were  priests,  39,136  teachers. 

The  Basques  in  the  North,  numbering  440, 000,  differ  in  language  and  race  from  the  rest  of  Spain ; 
there  are  60, 000  Morescoes  in  the  South,  50,000  gjTpsies,  and  a  small  number  of  Jews. 

GOVERNMENT. 

The  Government  of  Spain  is  a  constitutional  monarchy,  the  executive  resting  with  the  EiOg  and  the 
power  to  make  laws  '  •  in  the  Cortes  and  the  King. ' '  The  Cortes  is  composed  of  a  Senate  and  Congress, 
equal  in  authority.  The  Senators  are  of  three  classes:  1.  Hereditary,  being  sons,  if  any,  of  the  King 
and  certain  of  the  nobility.  2.  Life  Senators  nominated  by  the  Crown.  3.  Senators  elected  by  the 
corporations  of  States;  that  is,  tie  communal  and  provincial  States,  the  church  colleges,  etc.,  and  by 
the  largest  payers  of  contributions.  The  Congress  is  formed  of  deputies  elected  by  the  people  who  are 
qualified  as  electors,  there  being  one  deputy  to  each  50,000  souls  of  the  population.  Tlie  qualified 
electors  are  male  Spaniards,  25  years  old,  who  have  been  citizens  of  a  municipality  at  least,  two  years. 

By  royal  decree  of  August  8,  1878,  the  island  of  Cuba  is  entitled  to  representation  in  the  Congress 
of  the  Cortes  in  the  proportion  of  one  to  every  40,000  free  inhabitants  paying  certain  aimual  taxes. 
There  are,  in  all,  43l  deputies.    Botli  houses  of  the  Cortes  meet  annually.    The  monarch  has  the 
power  of  convoking,  suspending,  and  dissolving  them,  but  in  the  latter  case  a  new  Cortes  must  sit 
within  three  months.     The  monarch  and  each  of  the  Chambers  can  propose  laws. 

The  constitution  of  1876  enacts  that  the  monarch  is  inviolable,  but  his  ministers  are  responsible, 
and  all  his  decrees  must  be  countersigned  bj'  one  of  them. 

The  reigning  sovereign  is  Alphonso  XIII..  sou  of  the  late  King  Alphonso  XII.  and  Maria  Christina, 
daughter  of  the  late  Austrian  Archduke  Charles  Ferdinand.  The  King  was  born  after  his  father's 
death,  Maj'17,  1886.  succeeding  by  his  birth,  because  he  was  a  male,  liis  eldest  sister.  He  has  two 
sisters,  Maria  de  las  Mercedes,  born  1880,  who  was  Queen  until  his  birth,  and  Maria  Teresa,  born 
1882. 

Maria  Christina,  the  mother  of  the  King,  is  Queen  Regent  during  his  minority. 

The  King  has  three  aunts,  one  of  them  being  the  Princess  Eulalie,  who  visited  the  United  States 
in  1892,  on  the  occasion  of  the  Columbus  ceremonies.  The  grandmother  of  the  King,  ex-Queen 
Isabella,  is  living,  aa:ed  68  years.  She  was  Queen  from  1833  until  her  abdication  in  favor  of  her  son, 
the  late  King  Alphonso  XII ,  in  1870,  although  two  years  previous  to  the  latter  year  she  was  in  exile. 

The  executive  is  vested,  under  the  monarch,  in  a  Council  of  Ministers.  The  present  Ministry  is  as 
follows:  President  of  the  Cou/ic/7— Senor  Sagasta.  Minister  of  Foreign  Affairs— ^QTiOx  GuWon.  Minister 
of  Justice— HenoY  Gfoizard.  3finister  of  i^/noji c«—Senor  Puigcerver.  Minister  of  the  Interioi—Senor 
Capdepon.  Minister  of  Mar— General  Correa.  3Iinister  of  Marine— Adxaiv&l  Bermejo.  Minister  of  Agri- 
culture^ Ckymmerce,  and  I*uMic  l-Forte— Count  Xiquena.    Minister  of  the  Cbtoni^s— Senor  Moret. 

FINANCE. 

The  revenue  of  the  kingdom  is  raised  by  a  system  of  direct  and  indirect  taxation.  The  revenue  in 
1895-96  was  766,022,872  pesetas,  or  $155,000,000.  The  expenditures  in  the  same  period  were 
803.448j751  pesetas,  or  $160,680,000  (the  value  of  a  peseta  in  American  money  is  19  3-10  cents). 

In  1897  the  public  del)t  of  Spain  was  approximately  as  follows:  Consolidated  debt,  8919,000,000; 
redeemable,  $331,000,000:  treasury  debt  (including  floating  debt),  $164,070,000;  total,  $1,414,- 
000,000,  approximately.  The  interest  on  the  public  debt,  including  $19,000,000  for  credit  opera- 
tions on  account  of  the  war  in  Cuba,  amounted  to  $84,000,000. 

ARMY. 

Under  the  military  law  of  1885  the  armed  forces  of  Spain  consist  of:  1.  A  permanent  army.  2, 
A  first  or  active  reserve.  3.  A  second  or  sedentary  reserve.  All  Spaniards  past  the  age  of  19  are 
liable  to  be  drawn  for  the  permanent  army,  in  which  they  have  to  serve  three  years;  they  then  pass 
for  three  years  into  the  first  or  active  reserve  and  for  six  years  into  the  second  reserve.  For  the  colo- 
nial army  the  total  period  of  service  is  eight  years,  four  with  the  colors  and  four  in  the  second  reserve. 
(For  the'  fighting  strength  of  the  Spanish  army  see  statistics  on  page  328  of  this  edition  of  The 

WOBLD  ALMAJSTAC.) 

THE  NAVY. 

The  navy  of  Spain  December,  1897,  was  composed  of  one  first-class  battle-ship,  the  Pelayo  (dis- 
placement, 9, 900  tons;  length,  330ft. ;  beam,  66ft.;  draught,  24ft.  9in. ;  engines, 6, SCJOnominalhorse- 
gower;  speed,  15. 8  knots;  armament,  two  121,2-inch,  two  11-inch,  one  (%-inch,  and  twelve  4§^-inch 
reech- loaders,  with  6  quick-firing  guns;  protection,  steel  belt  18  inches,  maximum  thickness  11 
inches  on  the  barbettes' ,  one  port-defense  ship,  nine  first-class  armored  cruisers,  one  first-class  protected 
cruiser,  seven  second-class  cruisers,  eleven  third-class  cruisers,  eighty  gunboats  of  various  kinds,  and 
twenty-seven  torpedo  boats.  There  are  one  first-class  battle-ship  nd  two  first-class  armored  cruisers 
building.     All  the  first-class  cruisers  are  new  vessels,  but  several  are  not  yet  in  actual  service,  teing

still  in  the  hands  of  the  constructors.  The  navy  is  manned  b}'  1,002  oflacers,  725  mechanics  and  other 
employes,  and  14,000  sailors.  The  marines  number  about  9,000,  The  navy,  like  the  army,  is 
recruited  by  conscription, 

PRODUCTIONS. 

Nearly  80  per  cent  of  the  soil  of  Spain  is  classed  as  productive.  Of  this  83. 8  per  cent  is  devoted  to 
agriculture,  3. 7  per  cent  to  vineyards,  1. 6  to  olive  culture,  19. 7  to  natural  grass,  and  20. 8  to  fruits. 
The  vine  is  the  most  important  culture  (24.210,162  hectolitres  in  1891),  while  large  quantities  of 
oranges,  raisins,  grapes,  nuts,  and  olives  are  exported.  Thecountry  is  rich  in  minerals,  principally  iron 
ore,  copper  ore,  coal,  and  pig  lead.    There  is  a  considerable  fishery  industry. 

COMMERCE. 

The  imports  into  Spain  in  1897  (including  the  precious  metals)  were  valued  at  793, 341, 124  pesetas, 
or  Sgl58,000.000,  and  the  exports  at  924,936.047  pesetas,  or  $185, 000.000.  The  exports  of  wine  in 
1896  amounted  in  value  to  143,471.188  pesetas.  The  commerce  of  Spain,  both  in  imports  and  exports, 
is  largest  with  France,  and  next  largest  with  Great  Britain.  The  Spanish  colonies  are  third,  and  in 
imports  the  United  States  are  fourth.  In  1895  the  imports  from  the  United  States  were  84, 990, 259 
pesetas,  or  $17,000,000,  and  the  exports  12,767.975  pesetas,  or  $2,500,000,  according  to  the  oflacial 
Spanish  reports. 

The  merchant  marine  of  Spain  in  1895  consisted  of  427  steamers  of  131,178  tons  net.  and  1.041 
sailing  vessels  of  172,729  tons  net.  The  length  of  railways  in  Spain  January  1, 1897,  was  7,627 miles 
open  for  traffic. 

EDUCATION. 

Nearly  70  per  cent  of  the  population  of  Spain  can  neither  read  nor  write,  and  about  3  per  cent 
more  can  read  only.  There  is  an  elaborate  system  of  primary  education,  but  compulsion  has  never 
been  enforced,  partly  from  political  causes  and  partly  from  the  wretched  pay  of  the  elementary 
teachers.  In  1885,  the  latest  reported  date,  there  were  24,529  public  schools  in  Spain.  In  1887  the 
total  sum  set  apart  for  education  in  the  Government  budget  was  only  1,868,650  pesetas,  or  about 

$370,000. 

'  RELIGION. 

The  State  Church  of  Spain  is  Roman  Catholic,  and  the  whole  population  adhere  to  that  faith, 
except,  in  1887,  some  6, 600  Protestants.  9,600  Rationalists,  402  Jews,  and  13,000  of  other  religions 
or  not  stated.  According  to  article  12  of  the  constitution  of  1876  a  restricted  liberty  of  worship  is 
allowed  to  Protestants,  but  it  has  to  be  entirely  in  private,  all  public  announcements  of  the  same 
being  strictly  forbidden.  The  clergy  of  the  Established  Church  are  maintained  by  the  State. 
*  '  COLONIES. 

The  colonies  of  Spain  are  Cuba  and  Porto  Rico,  in  America;  the  Philij)pine,  Sulu,  Caroline,  and 
Marianne  Islands,  in  Asia,  and  the  Canary  Islands  and  some  parts  of  the  African  continent.  (See  page 
353  of  The  World  Almanac  relative  to  the  latter. ) 

The  Philippines  constitute  the  largest  colonial  possession  of  Spain.  They  have  an  area  of  114,326 
square  miles  and  a  population  of  7,000,000.  Cuba  has  an  area  of  41,655  square  miles  aud  hud  a  popu- 
lation in  1890  of  1,631,687,  while  Porto  Rico  has  but  3,670  square  miles  and  a  population  of  806,  708. 
The  total  area  of  the  colonial  possessions  of  Spain  is  405, 458  square  miles  and  the  total  population, 
9, 695, 567.

NEW  YORK

? 


It  is  one  of  the  -  irongest  companies  in  the  world. 

It  Is  purely  mutual,  and  all  of  its  assets,  surplus,  and  earnings  belong  to  its  policy-holders. 

It  has  an  honorable  record  of  53  years,  during  all  of  which  time  it  has  steadily  increased  in 

strength  and  prosperity. 
Its  piolicies  as  now  issued  contain  no  restriction  as  to  residence,  travel  or  occupation,  habits  of 

life,  or  manner  of  death. 
The  SOLE  condition  is  that  if  premiums  are  paid  the  Company  will  certainly  pay  the  jxjlicy  im- 
mediately in  the  event  it  becomes  a  claim  by  death,  and  thus  leave  a  widow  or  an  estate 

a  legacy  and  not  a  law- suit. 
Its  ix>licies  cannot  be  forfeited  after  three  years,  and  if  premiums  are  discontinued,  the  insured 

will  receive  either  a  paid-up  policy  or  extended  insurance,  as  he  may  elect. 
It  gives  a  grace  of  one  month  in  the  payment  of  pr2miums. 
Its  policies  will  be  re- instated  at  any  time  during  the  five  months  following  the  month  of  grace 

if  the  insured  passes  a  medical  examination  and  pays  the  back  premium  with  interest. 
You  can  borrow  money  from  the  Company  at  5  Per  Cent  per  annum,  after  your  policy  has  been 

three  years  in  force. 
You  do  not  have  to  DIE  TO  WIN.     If  you  live  10,  15,  or  20  years  you  can  settle  your  policy 

in  any  way  that  best  suits  your  circumstances  at  the  time— for  cash,  paid-up  insurance, 

annuity,  or  other  options. 
If  you  live  to  the  end  of  the  term  you  will  have  made  a  substantial  provision  for  yourself  in  old 

age,  and  if  you  die  berore  vhe  2nd  of  tne  'term  yo j  vill  hsvc  made  a  substantial  provision 

for  your  family  or  your  efetate;  -  '       . 

It  is  the  most  valuable  estate  you  will  leave  behind  you,  moie  certain  in  its  results  than  lands, 

houses,  stocks,  or  bonds,  as  its  value  do'es  not  rise  and  fall  with  the  market. 
The  New  York  Life  Insurance  Company*  is  the  c^NLY  c^orapany  in  which  you  can  get  ALL  of 

these  benefits  on  equally  favorable  terms. 
You  want  the  very  best — the.  most  privileges  ariJ  f.ie  fewe;^*.  restrictions,  whether  small  or  great — 

and  the  New  York  Life' s  Accumulation  "PoHcy  fufni?hes  it. 
The  New  York  Life  is  the  only  large  Life  Insurance  Company  that  closes  its  books  on  December 

31st,  each  year,  and  makes  its  Detailed  Annual  Report  early  in  January,  ujxsn  the  basis  of 

Paid- for  Business,  and  publishes  a  full  and  complete  Statement  of  how  and  where  the 

policy-  holders'  money  is  invested.

JOSEPH  PULITZER. 


The  year  1898  will  mark  the  fifteenth  since  The  World  came  under  its  presen  direction.  Proud 
of  its  position,  certain  of  its  future,  undaunted  for  the  right.  The  World  gives  greeting  to  its  mill- 
ions of  readers,  and  promises  that  it  shall  be  no  less  their  champion  and  upholder  in  the  twelvemonth 
to  come  than  it  has  been  through  fourteen  years  of  potential  progress. 

Without  the  impetus  of  a  great  national  campaign,  The  World  touched  a  high- water  mark  of 
1,124,806  on  November  3,  and  its  November  week-day  average  circulation  was  724,072  copies  per 
day  ! 

The  year  finds  The  World  adding  to  its  mechanical  equipment  the  largest  multi-colored  printing 
press  in  existence,  capable  of  printing  a  sixteen-page  sheet  in  from  three  to  five  colors,  and  enabling 
it  to  produce  the  most  attractive  Sunday  magazine  ever  created. 


FORECASTING  THE  CITY  ELECTION. 


In  the  memorable  first  campaign  for  the  mayoralty  of  the  city  of  New  York,  The  World  once 
more  demonstrated  the  value  of  absolute  independence  in  a  public  journal  which  aims  solely  to  keep 
the  people  informed  of  the  progress  of  events  and  has  for  its  highest  purpose  the  telling  of  the  truth. 
It  was  the  endeavor  of  The  World  to  point  the  way  to  the  inauguration  of  the  enlarged  city  under 
the  auspices  of  the  best  government  obtainable.  It  sought  to  secure  to  the  community  a  capable, 
honest,* fearless  government  at  the  outset  of  its  career,  untrammeled  by  party  dictation,  unridden  by 
a  party  dictator. 

On  June  29  The  World  gave  this  prophetic  warning,  in  an  editorial  under  the  heading: 

THE  situation  IN  A  NUT-SHELL  1 

Some  things  for  the  Citizens''  Union  to  remember  : 

1.  The  normal  Democratic  plurality  in  the  Greater  New  York  is  not  less  than  100,000. 

2.  You  need  not  think  for  a  moment  that  you  have  a  ghost  of  a  chance  without  the  support  of  the 
Republicans. 

Some  things  for  the  Republicans  to  rem^ernber: 

1.  This  is  likely  to  be  a  Democratic  year. 

2.  You  will  have  to  face  at  the  polls  popular  revulsion  against  McKinley  high  tariff  lunacy  and 
Raines  law  oppression. 

3.  Tammany  may  act  with  wisdom.   Wisdom  would  mean  success. 

Unite  with  the  Independents  and  get  something,  or  stand  aloof  and  get  Tammany. 
There  is  no  other  choice. 

Then  came  the  audacious  canvass  by  The  World  of  the  voters  of  the  immense  territory  em- 
braced in  the  boundaries  of  the  enlarged  city  in  the  conscientious  public  service  of  ascertaining  and 
informing  the  people  long  in  advance  just  what  would  be  the  result  of  the  great  battle  of  the  ballots 
on  election  day. 

The  thorough  and  systematic  canvass,  district  by  district,  street  by  street,  house  by  house,  and 
door  to  door,  of  the  voters  of  the  five  boroughs  by  a  corps  of  200  experienced  canvassers  under  the 
supervision  of  the  immediate  representatives  of  The  World,  was  the  most  stupendous  undertaking 
of  the  kind  ever  attempted. 

This  phenomenal  canvass  was  concluded  two  weeks  before  election,  with  the  choice  of  one-third  of 
the  whole  voting  population  of  the  five  boroughs  recorded.  By  analysis  The  World  deduced  that 
the  regular  Republican  candidate  could  not  secure  more  than  21  per  cent  of  the  total  vote.  The  ciin- 
vass  indicated  178, 000  for  Van  Wyck,  120,000  for  Low,  102, 000  for  Henry  George,  and  83,000  for 
Tracy,  in  a  total  of  510,000  votes.  The  sudden  death  of  Henry  George  on  the  eve  of  election  changed 
the  situation  only  slightly,  so  far  as  Low  and  Tracy  wel-e  concerned,  the  former  leading  the  latter  by 
50,000,  and  their  combined  vote  exceeding  the  Tammany  vote  by  21,000. 

The  confidence  of  the  public  in  the  integrity  of  this  remarkable  canvass  and  the  careful  accuracy 
of  The  World  in  its  service  of  the  news  was  indicated  on  the  Friday  before  election,  when  a  Low 
Democrat  sent  his  certified  check  for  $100,000  to  The  World  with  instructious  to  wager  the  whole, 
or  any  part  of  it,  thatGen.  Tracy  would  not  receive  25  T)er  cent  of  tne  total  vote.  It  is  a  matter  of 
history  now  that,  despite  the  confid^^nt  predictions  of  the  Piatt  managers  that  their  candidate  would 
receive  2i0,000  votes  and  be  elected,  none  of  them  appearen  to  accept  this  audacious  wager,and  their 
candidate's  vote  was  actually  only  19  per  cent  of  the  whole.  The  result  of  the  election  was  a  gratify- 
ing tribute  to  the  accuracy  of  The  World' s  canvass,  the  faithfulness  of  its  analysis,  and  the  correct- 
npss  of  its  predictions.  In  short,  the  election  returns  as  given  our.  at  midnight  of  November  2  were 
hardly  more  accurate  and  reliable  than  the  arithmetical  forecast  from  The  World  poll  published  on 
October  17. 

UNHEEDED   WARNINGS. 

The  downfall  of  the  triumphant  Republicans  in  the  municipality.  State,  and  nation  was  predicted 
by  The  World  as  the  sure  result  of  the  blind  fatuity  of  its  penormances,  completely  ignoring  its 
promises  and  the  people' s  wishes.  „      .  .       .     .      ^         ^ 

There  was  the  worse  than  McKinley  tariflT  with  its  protection  to  trusts  and  monopolies;  its  Gov- 
ernment bounty  to  manufacturers  of  $2,293,110,283  on  manufactured  goods  sold  tit  home,  and  for 
the  making  of  which  they  paid  actually  $10,000,000  less  in  wages  than  the  amount  of  this  bounty 


collected  from  the  consumer,  and  ita  infamous  "  right  of  search  "  of  the  luggage  of  travelers  under  the 
provision  that  no  one  should  possess  more  than  $100  worth  of  personal  property— a  tariff  for  a  deficit. 

There  were  the  scandalous  appointments  of  Demas,  Wimberly,  and  McCord. 

There  was  the  President's  failure  to  keep  the  pledge  of  the  St.  Louis  Convention  to  reform  the 
currency. 

There  was  the  President's  complete  somersault  on  the  subject  of  territorial  aggrandizement,  his 
espousing  the  Hawaiian  annexation  scheme  of  the  sugar  barons,  and  leaving  Cuba  to  struggle  on 
against  a  barbarous  tyranny. 

In  the  State  of  New  York  there  was  the  interference  of  the  National  Administration  in  local 
affairs. 

Governor  Black's  appointment  of  Lou  Payn. 

His  "  Starchless  Civil  Service  ' '  law. 

The  Raines  law  for  making  New  York  pay  two-thirds  of  the  excise  tax  for  the  benefit  of  the 
rural  districts. 

There  was  the  selection  as  candidate  for  Chief  Judge  of  the  Court  of  Appeals  the  Judge  who  had 
given  the  dictator  and  his  son  fat  receiverships— these  were  indicated  by  The  World  as  causes 
bound  to  produce  exactly  the  result  which  followed— the  complete  overthrow  of  the  Republican 
party  in  the  State  and  the  several  municipalities,  and  a  restoration  of  its  own  to  Democracy. 

REVENUE,  RETRENCHMENT,  AND  REST. 

The  Republican  success  in  the  last  Federal  election  was  riue  to  the  promise  of  that  party  to  pro- 
vide a  reform  of  the  currency  and  revenue  laws  that  would  save  the  Treasury  from  another  deficit, 
the  Government  from  going  into  the  market  for  another  loan,  and  the  people  from  unnecessary  taxa- 
tion and  any  further  burden  of  debt. 

The  World  pointed  out  the  plain  duty  of  Congress  in  a  new  alliteration  of  three  "Rs"— "Rev- 
enue, Retrenchment,  and  Rest."  The  President  called  an  extraordinary  session  of  Congress  to  meet 
the  first  of  the  crying  needs  of  the  hour,  "■Revenue. ' '  After  months  of  bickerings  and  dealings  with 
trusts  and  "  infant  industries,"  who  were  insistent  on  the  consummation  of  the  arrangement  entered 
into  between  them  aijd  the  Republican  national  campaiern  managers,  by  which  they  contributed 
lavishly  to  the  corruption  fund  in  consideration  of  being  looked  out  for  in  the  forthcoming  Tariff  bill, 
the  Dingley  monstrosity  was  evolved. 

The  World  analyzed  the  Dingley  bill  and  declared  it  to  provide  a  tariff  for  a  deficit,  and  that  the 
Administration  would  have  to  issue  more  bonds  within  its  first  year  in  order  to  pay  the  expenses  of 
government,  and  that  the  first  result  \vould«  be  a  strong  reaction  against  Republicanism.  It  urged 
upon  Congress  the  necessity  for  a  tax  on  beer  and  other  luxuries  to  meet  the  sure  deficit  that  was 
coming, 

The  Cleveland  Administration  left  $212,000,000  in  the  public  Treasury,  as  against  $124,000,000 
available  cash  balance  when  Cleveland  tooic  office  iu  March,  1893.  On  the  opening  dav  of  the  present 
Congress,  the  deficit  under  the  Dingley  tariff  was  already  $46, 500,000,  or  $4,000, 000  greater  than  the 
deficit  for  any  one  year  under  the  Wilson  bill,  although  the  tariff  lor  a  deficit  had  been  in  operation 
only  four  months.  Congressman  Joseph  H.  Walker,  of  Massachusetts,  who  helped  to  frame  the 
Dingley  bill,  admitted  that  there  was  no  longer  any  hope  that  the  Dingley  tariff  would  produce  the 
necessary  revenue,  and  that  a  $1  tax  on  beer  would  be  necessary  to  escape  a  deficit  of  at  least 
$85,000,000  for  the  year,  and  in  spite  of  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of  the  Pacific  railroads,  even  includ- 
ing the  $8,000,000  saved  in  that  sale  by  The  World,  the  deficit  was  growing  at  the  rate  of 
$9,000,000  a  month. 

Meantime  the  elections  of  1897  had  resulted  in  the  overthrow  of  the  Republican  party  in  all  the 
localities  where  the  silver  issue  was  ignored  by  the  Democrats,  and  the  canvass  was  made  upon  the 
tariff  issue 

THE  PACIFIC  RAILWAY  STEAL. 

Some  one  achievement  of  The  World  in  the  line  of  public  service  marks  a  red-letter  day  in  the 
calendar  of  each  year,  and  stands  out  preeminent  among  the  triumphs  of  a  great  free,  fearless,  and  in- 
dependent newspaper,  ever  battling  for  the  right  and  living  up  to  its  motto  :  ' '  Publicity,  the  greatest 
moral  force  and  factor  in  the  universe. ' '  The  j'ear  just  closed  furnishes  a  conspicuous  example.  Just 
as  in  1895  The  World' s  international  triumph  in  staying  the  passions  of  the  two  English-speaking 
nations  ready  to  imbrew  their  hands  in  each  other's  blood  over  the  ill-timed  message  on  the  Ven- 
ezuelan boundary  dispute  stood  out  conspicuous  in  the  public  eye ;  just  as  the  smashing  of  the  "• '  bond 
ring, ' '  which  was  about  to  receive  by  a  secret  bargain  with  the  Government  a  new  issue  of  bonds  at  a 
price  $7, 5(J0, 000  lower  than  they  were  worth  in  the  public  market,  shone  out  with  especial  brilliancy 
among  The  World's  public  services  in  1896— so  the  smashing  of  the  Wall  Street  Pacific  Railway 
•  *  blind  pool ' '  will  be  remembered  as  The  World"  s  greatest  achievement  for  the  people  in  1897. 

The  blind  pool  was  about  to  consummate  a  deal  made  with  the  last  and  ratified  by  the  present  Ad- 
ministration, by  which  it  was  to  purchase  the  Union  Pacific  Railway  and  the  Kansas  Pacific 
branch  at  a  price  which  involved  a  loss  of  $20,000,000  to  the  people  and  a  profit  of  $31,000,000  to 
the  ' '  reorganization  committee. ' ' 

These  roads  were  built  with  Government  subsidies,  and  the  Government  still  held  liens  on  the 
Union  Pacific  amounting,  with  interest,  to  $58,448,928.45,  and  on  the  Kansas  Pacific  branch, 
$13,000,000.     The  Government  held  a  sinking  fund  of  $18.000, 000  of  the  Union  Pacific. 

By  private  arrangement  with  the  ' '  reorganizatipn  committee  ' '  of  Wall  Street  magnates  who 
had  contributed  $2,000,000  to  the  Republican  Campaign  fund,  the  "pool"  was  to  get  both  roads. 

The  price  agreed  upon  wpj?  $45,754,000  for  the  property,  including  the  sinking  fund.  Later  on  it 
was  increased  to  about  $50,000,000  by  additions  to  the  sinking  fund. 

The  World  discovered  and  exposed  this  gigantic  conspiracy  to  rob  the  people.  It  turned  the 
search-light  of  publicity  upon  it.  and  revealed  it  in  all  its  uglmess.  It  was  a  short,  sharp  fight.  For 
twelve  days  The  World  trained  its  batteries  upon  the  conspirators.  The  first  gun  of  publicity '  s  solid 
shot  was  fired  on  October  13.  On  October  26  a  flag  of  truce  was  run  up  by  the  Government,  and 
within  twenty- four  hours  the  ' '  syndicate  ' '  had  offered  full  surrender. 

The  battle  for  the  right  was  won.  It  was  not  necessary  in  the  performance  of  this  great  public 
.service  to  the  people  for  The  World  to  demonstrate  its  own  confidence  by  the  investment  of  $1, 000,  - 
000,  as  it  did  when  it  smashed  the  gold  ring  of  bond  plotters  and  restored  the  credit  of  the  nation  by 
forcing  the  President  to  ' '  trust  the  people  ' '  and  sell  the  government  bonds  to  them  at  public  sale, 
instead  of  sacrificing  them  and  the  public  credit  to  a  AVall  Street  ring.  The  effect  was  the  same,  how- 
ever, as  the  gold  ring  made  haste  to  offer  restitution  by  raisinar  its  bid  $6,000,000.  So  the  Pacific 
Railway  Reorganization  Committee,  when  The  World  had  laid  bare  the  plot  to  mulct  the  Treasury, 
promptly  held  a  secret  meeting,  and  "to  avoid  complications  and  save  time,"  offered  $8,000,000 
more  than  they  had  bargained  for,  and  that  comfortable  sum  was  saved  to  the  people. 


14  The   World, 


When  The  World  began  the  fight  in  behall  of  the  people  the  managers  of  the  pool  were  arro- 
^nt,  the  Attorney-General  was  inclined  to  thebeliel  that  The  World  was  "meddling"  the  cor- 
poration and  trust  newspapers  ridiculed  the  presumption  of  The  World  that  it  could  ' '  dictate ' '  to 
the  President  The  President  was  told  in  plain  terms,  however,  that  he,  alone,  could  stop  the  steal. 
He,  alone,  would  be  held  responsible  for  the  robbery.  He  hesitated.  But  on  October  26  the  Attor- 
ney-General was  directed  to  instruct  the  special  counsel  engaged  by  the  Government  to  ask  the  courts 
for  a  postponement  of  the  sale  from  November  2  to  December  16,  in  order  that  it  might  be  given 
more  of  a  semblance  of  an  open,  public  sale. 

Publicity,  that  mighty  foe  to  deals  and  steals,  had  mastered  once  more  the  mightiest  in  Wall 
Street  and  in  Washington. 

The  balance  sheet  between  The  World  and  the  people  from  the  books  of  '•  Public  Service  •' 
shows  these  two  items  on  the  credit  side  : 

1896 Saved  by  smashing  bond  ring $7,500,000 

1897 Saved  by  smashing  PacificHoad  Pool 8,000,000 

Total  saved  by  publicity , $15,500,000 

Governors  of  States,  Senators  and  Bepresentatives  in  Congress,  financiers  who  are  patriots  and 
honest  men  first,  and  a  host  of  other  representatives  of  the  people  congratulated  The  World  on  its 
victory  in  despatches  and  letters.    The  whole  nation  applauded  it  for  smashing  the  Union  Pacific  deal . 

STOPPING  FRANCHISE-GRABBING. 

There  is  no  reform  to  which  The  World  has  given  more  earnest  support  than  that  which  found 
expression  in  the  charter  of  the  city  of  New  York  which  became  a  law  with  the  beginning  of  this 
year  and  the  inauguration  of  the  greater  city,  and  which  retains  forever  to  the  city  the  ownership  and 
control  of  all  public  franchises.  Tub  World  has  been  a  consistent  opposer  of  the  iniquitous  practice 
of  giving  away  valuable  franchises,  and  during  the  year  past  it  has  won  several  signal  victories  for  the 
people  of  the  New  York  of  1898  in  stopping  wanton  waste  of  invaluable  public  privileges. 

Last  Winter  the  Board  of  Aldermen  were  about  to  give  to  the  Consumers'  Gas,  Heat,  and  Power 
Company  a  franchise  which  would  forever  fasten  upon  the  city  an  absolute  monopoly  of  the  streets 
so  far  as  laving  pipes  for  conducting  gas  is  concerned!  This  franchise  was  worth  not  a  penny  less  than 
$10,000,000,  yet  a  combine  of  Aldermen  sufficiently  powerful  to  "jam"  the  franchise  through  over 
the  Mayor's  veto  stood  ready  to  accord  this  monopoly  to  the  favored  corporation  for  $15,000  and  30 
cents  per  lineal  foot  for  opening  the  .streets.  The  World  turned  the  search-light  rays  of  publicity 
upon  this  unholy  scheme.  It  showed  that  by  the  terms  of  this  franchise  the  beneficiaries  need  never 
turn  a  spadeful  of  earth  and  probably  never  would,  rather  lying  back  on  their  gigantic  monopoly 
and  exacting  toll  from  every  person,  company,  or  corporation  which  sought  to  become  competitors  for 
the  business  of  the  city  in  gas  in  any  of  its  forms  and  uses.  It  was  a  short,  sharp  fight,  but  publicity 
won.    That  was  prior  to  the  passage  of  the  new  charter. 

The  conspiracy  entered  into  oetween  a  ring  of  the  Republican  machine-ruled  members  of  the 
Board  of  Aldermen  to  rob  the  city  and  the  people  by  giving  to  the  Third  Ave uue  Railroad  Company 
the  great  Kingsb ridge  road  franchise  for  all  time,  came  after  the  passage  of  the  charter.  The  Alder- 
men were  insolent.  They  defied  public  opinion  as  voiced  by  The  World,  but  they  counted  without 
their  host.  The  World  brought  to  play  an  important  provision  of  the  charter  [overlooked  by  every 
one  else.  The  charter  provides  in  Section  73  that  no  franchise  involving  the  use  of  the  public  streets 
shall  be  granted  by  the  Municipal  Assembly  for  a  longer  period  than  25  years.  The  charter  as  a  wliole 
was  to  take  effect  January  1,  1898,  and  there  would  be  no  "Municipal  Assembly"  until  that  date. 
ButSection73  was  made  to  take  effect  on  the  approval  of  the  act  and  Governor  Black  "approved" 
the  charter  May  4.  This  was  September  28.  The  World  applied  to  the  Supreme  Court  and  secured 
an  injunction  restraining  the  aldermanic  combine  from  granting  the  franchise.  Four  judges  sustained 
the  injunction.    The  victory  we^  won.    Tlie  thing  was  a  grab.    The  World  stopped  the  grab. 

In  spite  of  the  fate  of  these  franchise  grabs,  an  epidemic  of  redklessness  attacked  the  Boards  of 
Aldermen  in  New  York  and  Brooklyn  simultaneously  in  December,  and  it  was  only  through  the 
activity  of  The  World  that  the  former  were  prevailed  upon  to  so  modify  their  gift  of  six  miles  of 
the  city's  streets  in  the  Westchester  and  City  IvSland  section  to  the  friends  of  the  "Huckleberry" 
road  a,3  to  limit  the  lease  to  25  years  in  accordance  with  the  law ;  while  injunction  proceedings  begun 
by  The  World  effectually  stopped  the  Aldermen  from  giving  away,over  the  Brooklyn  Mayor's  veto, 
invaluable  privileges  to  the  East  River  and  Atlantic  Ocean  Railway  Company.  On  December  10  the 
Appellate  Division  of  the  Supreme  Court  unanimously  decided  the  appeal  in  the  Kingsbridge  case  in 
The  World'  s  favor,  stopping  all  franchise  grabs  in  the  greater  city,  and  crownin"  the  sei-vice  with 
complete  triumph.  The  Mayors  of  the  leading  cities  and  Governor  Pingree,  of  Michigan,  wired 
hearty  congratulations  on  this  signal  victory  for  the  right. 

CROWNING  AN  INTERNATIONA!.  WORK. 

On  June  6  a  treaty  of  arbitration  between  Venezuela  and  Great  Britain,  for  the  peaceful  settlement 
of  the  dispute  over  the  Guiana  boundary,  was  completed  by  the  unanimous  adoption  of  its  terms  in  the 
Venezuelan  Congress.  Sir  Julian  Pauncefote  had  already  signed  the  treaty  for  Great  Britain.  On 
Decembers  diplomatic  relations  between  Great  Britain  and  Venezuela  were  renewed,  after  ten  years 
of  unfriendliness,  putting  a  fitting  close  to  the  historic  Venezuelan  incident,  and  completing  The 
W03LD'  s  great  international  service  in  staying  the  passions  of  the  two  English-speaking  nations  by 
sheer  force  of  its  influence  and  appeal  to  the  conscience  of  the  people.  The  World  stood  alone  against 
the  clamor  of  the  jingoes.  It  averted  bloody  war  and  restored  the  Venezuelan  question  to  its  place  as 
a  matter  to  be  settled  by  diplomacy,  and  not  to  be  determined  by  an  appeal  to  arms. 

On  Christmas  Day,  1895,  when  the  people  of  England  and  America  were  inflamed  to  the  pitch  of 
combustion  against  each  other.  The  World  published,  as  responses  to  its  appeals,  messages  of  peace 
and  good  will  from  the  leading  public  men, prelates,  and  statesmen  of  England,  and  the  plaudits  of  the 
whole  English-speaKing  race  on  both  sides  of  the  sea  rung  out  the  old  year. 

Gladstone,  the  Prince  of  Wales,  Canon  Farrar,  and  a  host  of  others  joined  in  expressions  of  good 
will  and  gratitude  to  The  World,  and  in  the  Summer  following  the  Peace  and  Arbitration  Societies 
of  Great  Britain  presented  an  address  to  Mr.  Joseph  Pulitzer,  the  Director  of  The  World,  in  recogni- 
tion of  the  services  of  that  paper  in  averting  war. 

It  was  an  international  triumph  for  broad,  free,  fearless,  and  independent  journalism  as  a  moral 
force  and  mighty  power  for  good.  England  and  theLnitedStates  joined  in  arranging  a  treaty  of  arbi- 
tration. The  Venezuela  Commission  appointed  by  the  American  Government  to  investigate  the  mat- 
ter in  dispute  found  itself  without  an  occupation.  It  made  no  report.  None  was  necessary.  I'he 
treaty  of  arbitration  completed  in  June.  1897,  wa.*;  a  triumph  for  publicity,  the  great  light  that  reveals 
the  truth.  After  ten  years  of  quarreling  over  the  boundary  line,  Great  Britain  and  Venezuela  were 
induced  by  a  single  newspaper  to  make  up  and  be  friends.    There  is  now  a  British  Minister  at  Caracas,

and  Venezuela  is  represented  at  the  Court  of  St.  James.    There  Is  no  longer  any  threat  of  war  between 
Great  Britain  and  the  United  States,  thanks  to  the  unaided  eCforts  of  Thk  World. 

And  the  failure  of  passagei  of  the  measure  framed  by  the  Cleveland  Administration,  and  carried 
forward  by  President  McKinley,  was  only  a  mortifying  exhibition  in  the  United  States  Senate,  raihet 
than  a  defeat  of  the  nrinciple.  The  vote  was  43  for  the  treaty,  26  against  it.  As  a  two- thirds  vote 
was  necessary  to  its  passage,  the  26  Senators  from  the  Bourbon  Southern  States  and  Western  mining 
camps  were  enough  to  defeat  it.  Fourteen  of  these  votes  oame  from  even  States  which  in  the  a« 
gregate  have  a  population  of  2,408,833,  or  about  equal  to  that  of  one  of  the  five  boroughs  in  the  cltj 
of  New  York,  while  the  representatives  of  more  than  50,000,000  of  the  people  voted  for  the  treaty. 

The  World  had  revealed  the  sentiments  of  the  American  people  in  securing  expressions  of 
opinion,  invariably  n  favor  of  the  treaty,  from  the  presidents  of  every  Chamber  of  Commerce  and 
Board  of  TradeJn  ':he  country:  from  Mayors  of  48  cities  aggregating  12,227,325  in  population;  from 
the  Archbishops,  Bishops,  and  clergy  of  every  denomination;  from  the  generals  of  our  armies;  from 
the  Governors  or  mostof  the  States,  and  from  the  '-ecoguized  leaders  of  thought  throughout  the  coun- 
try, all  revealing  a  practically  unanimous  sentiment  in  favor  of  the  ratification  of  the  treaty  signed 
by  the  representatives  of  the  two  Governments.  It  also  presented  to  the  Senate  a  petition  so  mighty 
in  its  magnitude  as  to  amount  ♦o  aplebiscite. 

It  secured  from  Bismarck, Gladstone,  Count  Muravieff,  theBussian  Minister  of  Foreign  Affairs;  the 
Earl  of  Kimberley,  former  British  Secretary  for  Foreign  Affairs ;  Lord  Rosebery ,  former  Prime  Minister; 
President  Deucher,  of  the  Swiss  Republic;  President  Kriiger,  of  South  Africa, and  others  of  the  wisest 
and  best  statesmen  in  the  universe,  earnest  expressions  in  favor  of  the  adoption  of  arbitration  for  the 
settlement  of  international  controversies. 

Almost  every  newspaper  in  the  country  had  followed  The  World  in  advocating  the  passage  of 
the  treaty.  Of  the  401  daily  newspapers,  362  favored  the  treaty ;  256  college  presidents,  54  Boards  of 
Trade,  48  Mayors  favored  it.  Great  mass-meetings  in  many  cities  indorsed  the  treaty.  It  was  rec- 
ommended by  Congress  itself,  both  Houses  in  joint  session,  February  14,  1890,  paving  the  way  for 
it.  Nooueoffered  a  valid  objection  to  it.  The  United  States  Senate  had  it  in  its  power  to  push  the 
English-speaking  race  a  century  ahead  in  civilization  and  progress;  to  take  the  world  in  one  stride,  in 
an  hour's  time,  further  forward  in  the  progress  of  civilization  than  she  had  ever  accomplished  In  a 

Though  a  minority  barely  large  enough  to  accomplish  it  defeated  the  measure  for  the  time,  after 
the  heat  generated  by  this  retrograde  movement  of  the  American  Senate,  the  fires  of  passion  died 
out  again,  and  the  two  peoples  showed  their  earnest  desire  for  friendliness  and  peace  by  renewing  the 
efforts  to  agree  upon  a  treaty  that  will  be  sanctioned  by  the  Senate.  Arbitration  is  bound  to  come  as 
surely  as  that  the  people  are  free  and  will  be  obeyed  by  their  Senate. 

THE  CUBAN  STRUGGLE  FOR  INDEPENDENCE. 

The  latest  news  and  the  fullest  and  most  accurate  chronicles  of  the  struggles  of  the  Cuban  patriots 
for  independence  were  published  in  The  World  during  the  year  1897,  as  in  the  long  months  pre- 
ceding. 

In  addition  to  the  carefully  authenticated  reports  from  the  benighted  Queen  of  the  Antilles  by  the 
Intrepid  correspondents  intrusted  with  this  most  important  mission.  The  World  has  spread  before 
the  American  public  the  signed  statements  of  the  leaders  on  both  sides,  and  of  unprejudiced  observers 
and  students  of  the  situation,  including  Gen.  Gomez,  the  patriot  leader;  Capt.-Gen.  Weyler,  Gen. 
Pitzhugh  Lee,  Marshal  Campos,  Gen.  Julio  Sauguilly,  Hannis  Taylor,  former  Minister  to  Spain; 
Sagasta,  and  Blanco,  and  The  World  is  recognized  by  both  sides  as  the  great  purveyor  of  facts. 

Gen.  Sanguilly,  just  liberated  from  Cabanas  prison  after  two  years'  confinement,  addressed  The 
World,  saying:  ''I  owe  my  liberty  to  that  noblest  of  Americans,  Gten.  Lee,  and  the  newspapers  of 
New  York,  greatest  of  which  is  The  World.  ' ' 

The  graphic  portrayal  of  the  heart-sickening  condition  of  the  starving  people  whom  Weyler  had 
driven  from  their  farm  homes  into  the  cities,  where  there  was  no  employment  for  them,  and  no 
provision  made  for  their  maintenance  in  this  barbaric  captivity,  it  was  declared  by  President  Cisneroa 
and  the  leaders  of  the  Cuban  Junta,  did  more  to  crystalize  American  opinion  in  its  present  state  than 
any  other  force  employed.  It  forced  the  Cuban  situation  upon  the  consciences  of  all  true  Americans. 
Its  immediate  effect  was  manifested  in  the  exchange  of  notes  between  this  Government  and  Spain, 
followed  by  Spain's  offer  of  autonomy  and  more  liberty  to  Cuba  than  that  Government  ever  before 
granted  to  one  of  its  dependencies. 

The  signed  statements  from  Gen.  Maximo  Gomez,  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  Cuban  armies, 
and  President  Cisneros,  of  the  Cuban  Republic,  in  response  to  this  offer  from  the  mother  country  to 
the  people  of  the  United  States,  made  known  the  ultimatum  of  the  insurgents— freedom  and  inde- 
pendence. They  conveyed  an  intimation  of  willingness  to  accept  the  good  offices  of  this  Republic  In 
ending  the  war  on  the  basis  of  independence  with  indemnity.  This  was  the  * '  new  diplomacy  of  pub- 
licity." The  determination,  the  wish,  and  the  appeal  of  the  patriots  were  made  known  to  the 
American  people  and  to  all  the  world.  Never  before  in  history  has  the  aid  of  a  newspaper  been 
officially  invoked  to  make  known  the  terms  and  to  point  the  way  to  peace.  It  was  one  of  the  greatest 
tributes  ever  paid  to  the  power  of  a  great  newspaper. 

From  Madrid,  Marshal  Campos  expressed  through  The  World  his  approval  of  the  reforms  pro- 
posed by  Spain. 

Gen,  Maximo  Gomez  gave  for  publication  in  The  World  a  remarkably  forcible  and  explicit 
statement  of  his  views  of  the  struggle,  saying :  '  *  We  are  fighting  for  liberty,  not  for  reforms.  Home 
rule,  in  its  broadest  sense,  is  independence.    Cuba>will  accept  nothing  less. ' ' 

At  midnight,  September  29,  The  World  first  carried  the  news  to  Sefior  Dupuy  de  Lome,  the 
Spanish  Minister,  of  the  ministerial  crisis  in  Spain. 

On  January  12  The  World  exclusively  stated  that  the  Cleveland- Olney  Administration  had 
offered  the  services  of  the  Government  in  mediation  between  Spain  and  Cuba,  with  an  outline  of  the 
President's  plan  to  secure  home  rule  for  Cuba.  At  the  same  time  it  prophesied  that  Cuba  would 
reject  the  plan  and  Spain  would  spurn  the  offer  of  mediation.  There  were  *' prompt  denials"  from 
Washington  in  every  other  newspaper,  but  fifty  days  later,  on  March  4,  all  these  other  papers,  as 
weliasTHEWoRLD,  had  Spain's  reply—" No  foreign  power  may  dictate  to  Spain,"  Cuba's  refusal 
came  in  the  statements  of  Gen.  Gomez  and  President  Cisneros  through  The  World. 

The  deposition  of  Weyler  and  the  return  of  Blanco  to  Cuba;  the  overturning  of  the  Azcarraga 
ministry  and  the  organization  of  a  Liberal  Government  in  Spain  with  Sagasta  at  its  head,  were  pre- 
dictec^!  by  The  World  at  the  assassination  of  Canovas,  and  months  before  the  event  occurred. 

Sagasta  spread  his  plans  for  Cuban  reforms  before  the  American  people  through  The  World  ; 
Governor-General  Ramon  Blanco  gave  an  expos4  in  a  special  cabled  message  to  the  American  people 
through  The  World  of  how  he  should  administer  those  reforms,  giving  his  word  to  the  United  States 
Congress,  and  thus  securing  delay  in  action  by  Congress. 


16  The   World. 


VARIOUS  PUBLIC  SERVICES. 

The  contract  for  a  permanent  water  supply  for  Jersey  City,  which  the  East  Jersey  Water  Company 
was  trying  to  foist  upon  the  city  by  the  exercise  of  all  its  political  influence,  was  almost  oonsummated 
when  The  World  discovered  the  jobbery  it  concealed,  exposed  it,  aroused  public  entiment,  and 
finally  made  it  impossible  for  even  that  all-powerful  combine  to  swindle  the  people  out  of  millions  of 
dollars.  The  contract  involved  $7,000,000.  The  Hudson  County  Democratic  Committee  addressed 
a  resolution  of  thanks  and  congratulations  to  The  World  ' '  for  its  fearless,  persistent,  and  successful 
fight ' '  in  behalf  of  the  people. 

The  World  alone  fought  the  bill  in  the  New  Jersey  Legislature  combining  municipal  with  State 
and  Federal  elections,  and  would  have  beaten  it  had  not  the  United  States  Senator  who  owned  the 
Legislature  visited  Trenton  and  peremptorily  ordered  it  passed.  The  fight  was  carried  to  the  Su- 
preme Court,  and  there  the  law  was  declared  unconstitutional. 

A  great  moral  victory  was  won  through  the  indefatigable  eflTorts  of  The  World  when  it  aroused 
the  conscience  of  New  Jersey  with  that  all-powerful  stimulant  publicity,  and  the  Anti-Gambling 
Amendment  to  the  Constitution  was  carried  at  the  recent  election  in  that  State.  It  put  an  end  to  the 
practice  of  racing  poor  old  horses  in  the  mud  and  snow  in  the  Winter,  putan  end  to  the  roulette  boards 
that  are  fixed,  and  all  the  other  swindling  gambling  devices  that  have  cursed  New  Jersey  so  long. 
Almost  every  pastor  from  Jersey  City  to  Cape  May  preached  a  jubilee  sermon  the  Sunday  following, 
and  congregations  sang  the  praises  of  The  World  for  its  service  to  the  people  of  the  State. 

The  World's  crusade  against  unnecessary  jioises  injurious  to  public  health,  shattering  to  nerves, 
and  destructive  of  peace,  comfort,  and  happiness,  brought  quick  and  welcome  results  in  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  ample  laws  and  ordinances. 

The  World's  warfare  for  fenders  on  the  Brooklyn  trolley  juggernauts  so.adjusted  that  they 
would  be  in  some  measure  a  safeguard  against  injury  to  people  afoot,  resulted  in  the  present  salutary 
ordinances. 

Directing  attention  to  the  gloomy  outlook  in  Ireland  in  September,  The  World  aroused  tha 
British  authorities  to  action,  to  avert  impending  famine,  and  gained  the  thanks  of  the  Ancient  Order 
of  Hibernians. 

Recognition  of  The  World  as  a  public  servant  comes  in  odd  ways  sometimes.  One  night  last 
May  Mrs.  Herman  Haas  appeared  in  this  office  ill  and  in  distress.  She  had  come  from  Chicago  to 
meet  her  husband.  She  had  waited  all  day  at  the  railway  station,  but  no  husband  came.  Would 
The  World  help  her  to  find  him  ?  Certainly.  Within  the  hour  came  Herman  Haas  to  ask  the  assist- 
ance of  the  servant  of  the  public,  great  and  small,  in  finding  his  wife,  and  there  was  a  tearfully  joy- 
ous reunion  on  the  spot. 

When  the  Park  Department  made  the  absurd  proposition  to  surrender  to  the  Metropolitan  Rail- 
way some  20,000  square  feet  of  the  park  and  of  Union  Square  and  let  the  company  make  a  short  cut 
and  ruin  the  park  as  a  way  to  abolish  "dead  man's  curve,"  The  World  insisted  that  the  company 
must  abolish  danger  at  the  Fourteenth  street  crossing  by  slackening  the  speed  of  their  cars  there.  The 
fight  was  kept  up  until  that  is  exactly  what  they  did. 

When  the  city  was  preparing  to  receive  as  its  guests  the  flower  of  the  soldiery  of  a  score  of  States, 
the  Governors  of  these  States,  and  a  half  million  pilgrims  come  to  honor  the  memory  of  Grant  on  the 
occasion  f  the  dedication  of  the  monument  on  Riverside  Heights,  The  World  found  the  approach- 
ing streets  and  avenues  and  the  Boulevard  in  a  disgraceful  state  of  neglect  By  dint  of  good,  hard, 
persistent  prodding  of  the  official  heads  of  departments  responsible  for  it,  it  succeeded  in  getting  these 
approache  into  a  creditable  condition. 

Cone^  Island's  moral  plague  spots  were  exposed  and  reforms  secured. 
Introduction  of  adequate  lights  in  the  cars  of  the  Elevated  Railways  was  brought  about. 
Th»  smooth  and  comparatively  noiseless  asphalt  roadbed  in  Fifth  Avenue  from  Washington  Square 
to  Harlem  River  is  the  first  result  of  The  World's  crusade  in  behalf  of  making  Fifth  Avenue  a  park- 
way and  promenade  for  all  the  people. 

First  to  propose  a  bicycle  speedway  to  offset  the  $5,000,000  horseman's  speedway.  The  World 
persistently  advocated  it  until  the  plan  for  such  a  course  for  the  20,000  wheel  men  and  women  of 
New  York  along  the  magnificent  Pelham  Parkway  was  adopted  by  the  Park  Department,  to  become 
a  fact  in  the  Spring. 

Expose  of  gambling  resorts  of  Queens  and  Kings  Counties,  and  closing  of  these  places. 
Free  open-airgymnasiumsinparksfor  the  thousands  of  young  people  working  in  shops,  stores, 
offices,  and  at  occupations  that  tend  to  stunt  physical  development,  suggested  and  urged  by  The 
World,  will  be  inaugurated,  beginning  with  the  East  River  Park. 

Free  ferriage  for  bicycles  when  their  riders  are  passengers  and  free  passage  for  bicycles  over  the 
bridge  were  secured,  as  well  as  bicycle  trains  on  the  Manhattan  "L' '  road. 

Sending  of  provisions,  medical  attendants,  and  nurses  by  The  World's  despatch  boat  to  the  re-

AMELIORATION  OP  TENEMENT  LIFE. 

TffE  World  has  been  ever  active  in  its  efforts  to  secure  such  provision  as  can  be  mMe  in  a  great, 
teeming  city  for  the  amelioration  of  the  hardships  of  the  lives  of  the  poor  and  the  Working  people. 

The  recreation  piers  at  the  foot  of  Third  and  East  Twenty- fourth  streets,  opened  last  Summer, 
were  the  first  fruits  of  the  efforts  of  The  World  to  secure  for  the  benefit  of  the  tenement-house  popu- 
lation cool,  attractive  places  for  pleasure,  and  for  escape  from  their  hot  and  unwholesome  hive-like 
homes  during  the  Summer  season.  These  riverside  fresh-air  resorts  were  crowded  with  men,  women, 
aod  children  from  the  time  of  their  opening  last  July,  and  they  enjoyed  band  music  and  innocent 
diversion  here  free  of  charge.  Others  will  be  in  readiness  early  next  Summer,  while  the  work  of 
making  Winter  gardens  of  those  already  built  is  nearly  completed.  '  "•  Pier  roof  gardens ' '  were  pro- 
vided for  by  the  Walker  bill,  passed  by  the  Legislature  at  the  instance  of  The  World. 

The  public  baths,  which  take  the  place  of  the  sea  bath  to  countless  thousands  of  the  people  of  the 
great  city  too  poor  to  afford  visits  to  the  shore,  were  kept  tight  closed  on  Sunday,  the  one  general  day 
of  leisure  to  the  masses.  The  World  espoused  the  cause  of  the  poor  people  and  thehaths  were 
opened  every  Sunday  afterward  from  dawn  to  10  p.  m. 

The  construction  of  small  parks  in  crowded  sections  of  the  city,  in  accordance  with  the  system 
first  proposed  by  The  World  and  authorized  by  a  law  enacted  at  the  behest  of  this  paper,  has  been 
pushed  rapidly  and  energetically  the  past  year. 

"Fifteen  hundred  free  lectures  to  the  people,  in  forty  school-houses  and  halls,  comprised  the  course 
for  the  Winter  of  1897  and  1898,  as  provided  for  under  The  World's  bill  for  free  lectures  for  the 
jieople,  and  it  is  estimated  that  more  than  half  a  million  pBople  will  hear  and  be  entertained,  in- 
s^^rflctedj  and  informed  by  them.

THE  PEOPLE  OWN  THE  SCHOOLS. 

In  pursuance  of  its  broad  plan  for  the  making  of  every  public  school  the  neighborhood  centre  of 
intellectual  amusement  and  elevation  for  old  and  young,  The  Wokld  has  persistently  advocated  the 
utilization  of  these  vast  public  properties  for  club-rooms  for  boys  and  girls,  night  schools,  lecture- 
rooms,  gymnasiums,  and  the  like.  It  has  urged  the  introduction  of  gardens  and  ,.lavgrounds  around 
each  new  school  built,  to  be  opened  in  vacation  as  well  as  school  time,  playgrounds  for  summertime 
on  the  roofs  of  the  schools,  and  other  innovations  looking  to  this  end.  It  insists  that  the  160  school- 
houses  in  Manhattan  Borough,  valued  at  $20,166,890,  rightfully  belong  to  the  people,  and  should  not 
be  allowed  to  remain  idle  so  long  as  there  is  more  service  for  them  to  perform  in  behalf  of  the  490,000 
school  boys  and  school  girls,  their  brothers  and  sisters,  fathers  and  mothers. 

The  World's  free-lecture  course  and  the  night  schools  and  vacation  schools  were  the  first  vic- 
tories secured  along  these  lines;  the  others  are  coming  fast.  Already  one  roof- garden  playground 
and  one  outdoor  playground  have  resulted,  and  the  club- rooms  and  gymnasiums  are  under  con- 
sideration. 

THE  HENRY  GEORGE  MEMORIAL. 

The  first  news  of  the  sudden  death  of  Henry  George,  the  poor  man's  philosopher,  at  5  o'clock  in 
the  morning  of  October  29,  was  given  to  the  public  by  The  World,  when  New  York  was  hurrying 
to  business,  in  an  extra  edition,  of  which  48,000  copies  were  sold  in  an  hour,  and  before  any  other 
paper  was  issued. 

The  World  started  the  movement  for  a  memorial  fund  in  honor  of  Henry  George,  and  after  giv- 
ing it  an  impetus  with  a  nucleus  of  $2,500,  turned  it  over  to  the  bereaved  widow.  A  Memorial  Com- 
mittee has  carried  the  idea  to  a  successful  issue,  and  the  widow  of  the  dead  friend  of, the  working 
people  is  assured  of  relief  from  all  financial  cares. 

BROCKWAYISM  ABATED. 

The  long  fight  of  The  World  against  the  brutalities  of  Supt.  Brockway,  of  the  Elmira  Reforma- 
tory, has  ended  paddling,  burning  with  red-hot  irons,  stringing  up  by  the  thumbs,  and  otheirhor- 
rors  that  were  a  part  of  Brockway' s  system  of  reforming  young  criminals.  Commissioners  Stewart 
and  Boyd's  report  of  last  March  to  the  Board  showed  the  great  good  accomplished  by  The  World's 
hard  fight. 

POSTAL  SAVINGS  BANKS. 

Postmaster-General  Gary,  when  he  desired  to  inforna  the  people  of  the  United  States  that  he  was 
preparing  to  introduce  a  national  scheme  for  postal  saving  banks,  selected  The  World,  which  first 
proposed  and  has  strongly  advocated  the  project,  as  the  medium  through  which  to  address  the  people. 

IN  THE  CAUSE  OP  JUSTICE. 

Through  the  efforts  of  The  World,  Philip  Metz,  who  was  under  indictment  for  the  murder  of  his 
sweetheart.  May  Franklin,  in  New  York,  March  4,  was  captured  at  Newark  on  July  19. 

A  private  in  the  Twelfth  Regiment,  in  jail  for  inability  to  pay  his  dues,  was  returned  to  his  dying 
child  and  starving  family. 

The  expose  of  the  dilatory  tactics  of  the  commissioners  in  making  awards  to  the  humble  people  of 
Mount  Kisco,  whose  little  homes  had  been  taken  by  the  city  for  the  Croton  watershed,  causing  much 
suffering  among  the  people,  resulted  in  spurring  the  commissioners  to  their  duty  and  the  relief  of  the 
sufferers . 

Pietro  Michele,  imprisoned  in  Ludlow  Street  Jail  while  his  family  starved,  because  he  had  failed 
to  pay  a  $2  instalment  on  a  clock  he  had  bought,  was  released  by  The  World,  which  paid  in  all  $19- 
costs . 

Fifteen-year-old  Joe  Lyons,  branded  as  a  law-breaker  for  building  a  bonfire  out  of  season  and 
imprisoned  because  he  couldn't  pay  a  fine,  was  liberated. 

The  rescue  by  The  World  of  Bessie  Tuttle,  a  fourteen-year-old  girl,  from  the  horrible  bondage  in 
which  she  was  held  by  Samuel  Fishblatt,  and  restored  to  her  widowed  mother's  arms,  was  followed 
by  the  prompt  conviction  of  her  abductor,  who  was  sent  to  prison. 

Mrs.  Lena  Cohen,  sent  to  jail  with  her  babe,  for  selling  matches  without  a  vender's  license,  was 

EDUCATION  BY  STIMULATED  CURIOSITY. 

Whenever  any  part  of  the  earth  becomes  a  centre  of  news,  The  World  at  once  seizes  the  oppor- 
tunity to  educate  and  enlighten  the  American  public.  Trained  correspondents  are  hurried  to  the 
scene,  those  who  have  any  knowledge  of  any  sort  to  contribute  are  invited  to  cooperate,  and  the 
readers  of  The  World  undergo  an  educational  process  of  the  only  sort  that  is  of  real  value— education 
by  natural  absorption  through  stimulated  curiosity. 

Thus,  if  the  Turko-Grecian  war  did  not  ' '  change  the  geography  of  Europe, ' '  nor  materially  affect 
this  Republic  in  any  other  way,  the  readers  of  The  World  were  induced  through  stimulated  curiosity 
to  learn  more  about  the  contending  peoples,  their  countries,  their  ways,  and  customs,  than  they  could 
possibly  have  learned  in  any  other  way, 

PUBLICITY  THE  MODERN  DIPLOMAT. 

The  progress  and  power  of  the  press  have  been  exemplified  in  The  World,  as  the  leading  exponent 
of  modern  journalism,  and  the  originator  of  the  maxim  :  "  Publicity,  publicity,  publicity— the  safeguard 
of  popular  government;  the  greatest  moral  factor  and  force  in  the  universe. ' '  The  personal  Interview 
granted  by  King  Oscar  I.  of  Sweden  and  Norway  to  a  commissioner  of  The  World  illustrated  how 
in  this  age  precedents  give  way  to  progress.  A  century  ago  newspaper  publishers  were  thrown  into 
the  Tower  for  printing  a  report  of  the  proceedings  of  Parliament.  But  even  kings  and  statesmen, 
princes  and  potentates  have  come  to  understand  that  men  are  never  so  likely  to  settle  a  question 
rightly  as  when  they  discuss  it  freely;  and  naturally  those  great  in  statesmanship  employ  that 
medium  through  which  they  may  reach  their  people  and  the  world  most  surely  with  their  views  and 
opinions. 

The  Prince  of  Wales  and  the  Duke  of  York,  Gladstone,  Lord  Rosebery,  Cardinals  Logue  and 
Vaughan,  Archbishops,  Bishops,  and  other  dignitaries  of  church  and  state  in  Great  Britain,  who 
responded  to  The  World's  request  for  a  Christmas  sentiment  at  the  time  of  the  Venezuela  war 
excitement,  and  thus  helped  to  allay  that  excitement,  set  the  example  and  made  a  precedent  for  other 
public  personages  in  Europe  to  speak  to  the  great  people  through  the  press,  according  to  the  Ameri- 
can method.     They  set  the  fashion  of  publicity. 

During  the  same  week  in  which  King  Oscar  addressed  himself  to  America  and  the  universe 
through  The  World,  views  and  statements  from  Prince  Bismarck,  President  Cleveland,  Gen. 
Gtomez,  and  Marshal  Campos  were  given  publicity  through  the  same  medium,  and  whenever  the 


people  are  agitated  over  the  discussion  of  any  matter  of  governmental  policy  or  general  interest, 
The  Wokld  is  sought  as  the  surest  medium  through  which  to  reach  the  greatest  number  of  listeners. 
It  is  by  revealing  public  sentiment,  quite  as  much  as  by  creating  it,  that  The  World  has  become 
ure-eminent  in  that  free  press  which  is  an  all-powerful  instrument  of  modern  civilization. 

King  George  of  Greece  gave  a  statement  of  the  Cretan  situation  to  the  universe  through 
The  Wobld. 

William  Jennings  Bryan  chose  The  WoRiiD  through  which  to  give  to  the  American  people  his 
explanation  of  the  widening  gap  between  wheat  and  silver,  and  a  week  later  Thomas  B.  Reed 
reached  the  same  great  audience  by  replying  to  Mr.  Bryan  through  The  World. 

FIRST  TOLD  IN  THE  WORLD. 

There  Vvere  enough  exclusive  stories  published  in  The  World  during  1897,  and  copied  ivextday 
m  Its  less  enterprising  and  more  poorly  equipped  local  contemporaries,  to  make  a  history.  Among 
these  "beats"  were  a  story  of  the  double  murder  on  the  American  schooner  Olive  Peck,  an  ocean 
tragedy  off  the  coast  of  Brazil ;  an  account  of  the  devastating  storm  that  ravaged  vhe  Texas  coast  and 
destroyed  fourteen  human  lives;  the  clearing  away  of  the  mystery  of  the  murder  of  Dr.  Harvey  Bur- 
dell,  a  New  York  dentist,  after  forty  years ;  confession  of  Sarah  Brown  Angell  Lo  The  World  of  the 
plot  she  laid  to  extort  money  from  the  heirs  of  Jay  Gould  on  the  flimsy  pretext  that  she  was  his 
widow;  the  killing  of  Thomas  W.  Ryan  by  a  single  blow  from  the  fist  of  John  Sweeney  at  the  Brooklyn 
entrance  to  the  big  bridge,  in  the  midst  of  a  throng  of  people;  revelation  of  the  theft  of  the  indict- 
ments of  three  politicians  for  murder,  from  the  office  of  the  District  Attorney. 

When  the  schooner  NahumChapin  was  wrecked  off  ^he  shore  of  Quogue,  and  nine  men  lost  their 
lives,  The  World  sent  a  staff  of  reporters  and  8.rtists  to  the  scene  by  a  special  train  in  ninety-seven 
minutes,  and  laid  before  its  readers  next  morning  the  only  complete  story  of  the  calamity. 

In  almost  every  instance  The  World  anticipated  President  McKinley's  announcement  of  his 
selections  for  members  of  his  Cabinet,  and  at  the  same  time  published,  in  turn,  authorized  statements 
of  the  views  of  Secretary  Sherman,  Gen.  Alger,  Secretary  Long,  Secretary  Lyman  J.  Gage,  Judge 
McKeuna,  and  the  others,  on  public  questions  with  which  they  must  deal  in  the  positions  to  which 
they  were  about  to  be  appointed. 

The  first  instantaneous  photographs  of  sound  waves  ever  made  were  produced  in  The  Wobld 
exclusively. 

Through  Capt.  Julius  Palmer,  private  secretary  to  the  Hawaiian  Queen,  The  Woeld  secured  an 
exclusive  report  of  the  interview  between  President  Cleveland  and  Liliuokalani. 

The  World  reproduced  a  fac-simile,  the  first  ever  printed  in  any  newspaper,  of  a  photograph 
done  in  the  natural  colors  by  a  wonderful  chemical  process,  discovered  by  M.  ViUedieu  Chassagnt,  of 
Paris. 

The  World's  photographer  took  the  only  photograph  ever  made  of  President  McKinley  and  his 
Cabinet,  and  The  World  reproduced  it. 

Firstaccount  of  the  Valley  Stream  railway  accident,  in  which  six  passengers  in  a  tally-ho  were 
killed  and  ten  injured. 

REPORTING  EXTRAORDINARY!    THE  QUEEN'S  JUBILEE! 

It  Is  the  custom  of  The  World  to  employ  recognized  specialists  in  reporting  the  news  of  events. 
In  order  that  its  readers  may  have  the  very  best  as  well  as  the  very  latest  and  most  complete  informa- 
tion about  the  subject  of  interest. 

When  the  attention  and  interest  of  all  the  world  were  centred  upon  the  celebration  of  the  jubilee 
of  Her  Majesty  Queeu  Victoria,  The  World  had  the  pleasure  of  laying  before  the  American  people 
a  brilliant  and  complete  account  of  the  imperial  pageant.  In  addition  to  the  vivid  pen  pictures  oy 
its  staff  of  correspondents,  trained  observers,  and  accurate  writers,  there  were  accounts  from  these 
special  correspondents  :  The  famous  Dean  Farrar,  of  Canterbury,  who  described  the  religious  cere- 
monies ;  Gen.  Nelson  A.  Miles,  commaoQer  of  the  United  States  Army,  and  official  military  repre- 
sentative of  the  nation  at  the  jubilee,  who  wrote  of  the  soldiers,  and  Dr.  Chauncey  M.  Depew,  than 
whom  no  American  is  more  widely  known  at  home  or  abroad,  who  treated  of  the  social  side  of  the 
celebration. 

It  was  an  historicday—*' a  day  which  will  be  remembered  and  alluded  to  for  centuries  to  come." 
as  Dean  Farrar  said— and  The  World  gave  an  historic  account  of  it.  The  interesting  narrative 
cabled  exclusively  to  The  World  comprised  9,950  words,  and  by  the  slow  and  difficult  process  of 
cabling  took  up  the  time  of  nearly  the  whole  staff"  of  operators  of  the  Anglo«  American  Telegraph 
Company. 

A  GLADIATOR  REPORTS  THE  FIGHT. 

When  those  modern  gladiators,  Corbett  and  Fitzsimmons,  were  pitted  for  a  battle  to  the  finish  at 
Carson  City,  Nev.,  The  World  published,  in  addition  to  the  careful  accounts  of  its  own  staff"  of 
nine  specialists  in  this  line  of  reporting,  a  ruggedly  clear  and  scientific  account  of  the  combat  from 
the  "idol  of  the  fancy,"  former  Champion  John  Lawrence  Sullivan,  together  with  a  faithful  report 
of  the  sayings  and  doinsrs  of  the  wife  of  Fitzsimmons  at  the  ringside,  the  first  appearance  of  a  woman 
at  a  prize  fight.  The  faith  of  the  public  in  The  World's  accuracy  at  all  tim^s  was  manifested  on 
this  occasion,  and  the  greatest  multitude  ever  assembled  in  Park  Row  watched  its  mimic  bulletin  of 
the  contest,  while  1,026.980  copies  of  The  World  were  sold. 

Later  on  it  reproduced  the  instantaneous  pictures  taken  by  the  veriscope  and  showing  exactly  how 
the  * '  knock-out  Glow ' '  was  delivered  by  the  victor  on  the  solar  plexus  of  his  antagonist,  and  settling 
by  science,  quicker  than  human  eye,  the  question  of  whether  the  fight  was  won  by  a  foul  or  not. 

GRANT  MEMORIAL  CELEBRATION. 

In  Its  character  as  a  truly  great  newspaper  The  World  impressed  upon  the  public  mind,  on  the 
occasion  of  the  Grant  Memoriul  Celebration,  the  difference  between  originality  and  imitative  medi- 
ocrity in  journalism.  On  a  day  when  all  minds  were  deeply  interested  in  the  character  and  career  of 
Grant  The  World  performed  a  patrioiic  service.  Besides  giving  a  complete  and  satisfying  story  of 
the  ceremonies  and  other  events,  illustrated  in  heretofore  unequaled  splendor,  including  a  grand 
bird's-eye  view  of  the  scene  at  the  tomb  and  the  surrounding  neighborhood,  taken  from  a  balloon  high 
above  Claremont  Heights,  it  laid  before  its  readers  a  symposium  of  the  estimate  and  comment  of  the 
first  soldiers  and  statesmen  of  this  and  other  nations  on  Grant  and  his  career. 

The  list  of  those  who  contributed  to  this  remarkable  symposium  included  the  Duke  of  Cambridge, 
a  member  of  the  royal  family,  and  former  Commander-in-Chief  of  the  British  Army,  and  Field 
Marshal  Roberts  ;  Gen.  Saussier,  commander  of  the  French  army  :  Cavaignac,  the  statesman  ;  Gens. 
Du  BaraU,  Gallifet,  and  De  Boisdeff're,  of  France;  Schellendorf,  of  Germa,ny;  Brin,  Italy's  Minister  of 


The    World.  19 


Marine  ;  Pellou,  Minister  of  War  ;  Admiral  Bettolo,  Gen.  Cosenz  and  Lieut.  -Gen.  Dal  Verme;  Mar- 
shal Campos,  Lieut. -Gen.  Azcarraga,  Minister  of  War;  Marshal  Dominguez,  and  Emilio  Castelar,  of 
Spain. 

There  were  articles,  besides,  by  Mrs.  John  A.  Logan  and  Mrs.  Jefferson  Davis,  and  tributes  to 
Grant's  character  from  such  Confederate  Generals  as  Longstreet,  Lee.  and  Gordon,  and  Union  Gen- 
erals Miles,  Howard,  Alger^and  Willcox,  with  superb  portraits  and  drawings  by  Frederic  Bemington. 
What  these  thinkers  wrote  of  the  dead  hero  will  be  transferred  from  The  Wobld  to  history. 

THE  STRAJSTGE  AND  WEIRD, 

Odd  and  peculiar  happenings  have  received  special  attention  in  The  World,  and  some  of  the 
strange  things  that  have  occurred  and  been  duly  described  in  "this  ubiquitous  newspaper  seem  to 
throw  discredit  upon  the  adage  :  ' '  There's  nothing  new  under  the  sun. ' '  Instance  the  story  of  the 
efforts  of  religious  fanatics  in  a  sedate  old  Connecticut  village  to  "knocls  the  devil  out"  of  an  old 
woman,  helpless  with  rheumatism;  the  story  of  Florence  Weinheimer.  the  Syracuse  girl  who  slept  six 
days  and  nights  and  awol^e  and  went  about  her  duties  in  her  father' s  store,  never  dreaming  that  she 
had  had  more  than  her  ordinary  night's  sleep;  the  two-column  story  of  the  double  consciousness  of  a 
thirteen- year  old  hypnotic  subject  over  whom  the  scientists  were  puzzling  their  brains  at  Binghamton; 
the  amazing  decision  of  the  Kentucky  Judge  legally  justifying  murder,  and  dischai-ging  a  jury  trying 
a  man  for  billing  another  who  had  insulted  his  wife;  the  harrowing  predicament  of  Gov.  Atkinson,  of 
West  Virginia,  whose  wife  was  on  trial  for  a  felony,  and  whom  he  had  a  right,  as  Governor,  to  pardon 
if  she  were  convicted;  story  of  the.  young  man  who,  by  the  terms  of  his  father's  will,  must  be  a 
drunkard  all  his  life  or  forfeit  his  heritage  of  $6,000  a  year;  the  story  of  the  novel  suit  for  $5,000 
damages  brought  byaCatskill  father  against  the  cleigymuu  who,  christening  his  first  born,  gave  it 
the  name  suggested  by  the  mother,  ignoring  the  father's  suggestion  of  another  name;  Henry  Kohl's 
story  of  how  he  vA'as  condemned  sis  times  to  die,  prepared  for  the  gallows  twice,  respited  once  only 
ten  minutes  before  the  appointed  hour  for  his  death,  and  while  the  priests  were  reatiius  ttie  last 
prayer,  and  how,  after  tUree  years  in  a  New  Jersey  jail,  he  was  released, 

PROMINENT  FEATURES. 

Among  the  features  that  have  enlivened  the  columns  of  The  Wobi^d  during  the  past  year  may

ESTABLISHED  CHARITIES, 

The  Christmas«Tree  Fund  and  the  Sick  Babies'  Fund,  the  two  great  Charities  conducted  by  Th-e 
World,  passed  through  the  tenth  season,  respectively,  during  the  year  just  closed-  The  Sick  Babies' 
Fund  maintained  a  corps  of  visiting  physicians  selected  especially  for  their  known  success  in  the  treat- 
ment of  children,  and  who  worked  dUigently  through  the  hot  months,  exploring  the  crowded  tene- 
ments from  cellar  to  garret,  searching  out  infantile  suflFering  and  ministering  to  the  suflTerers,  provid- 
mg  food  for  the  hungry,  raiment  for  the  unclothed,  and  o^her  lacking  necessaries. 

These  physicians  ransacked  19,016  tenement-houses,  visited  177,072  families,  and  ministered  to 
23,087  sick  children,  many  of  whom  were  regularly  visited  from  three  to  thirty  times.  Relief  in  the 
way  of  food,  clothing,  coal,  payment  of  rent,  and  the  like  was  given  to  2, 300  families  and  the  phy- 
sicians distributed  40,000  tickets  for  the  fresh-air  excursions  on  the  Floating  Playground^  the  sick 
children' s  own  health  and  pleasure  ship,  naaiutained  by  the  Sick  Babies'  Fund,  and  making  three 
voyages  a  week  during  June,  July,  and  August. 

Last  Winter,  when  the  city  had  the  unusual  experience  of  a  month  of  continuous  snow  and  bitter 
cold  weather,  causing  extreme  distress  among  those  poor  people  whose  existence  depended  upon  out- 
door work,  the  Sick  Babies'  Fund  departed  from  its  chosen  field  as  a  Summer  charity,  and  essayed  to 
relieve  the  distress.  The  corps  of  physicians  were  summoned  to  duty  and  a  small  surplus  left  in  the  fund 
was  levied  upon  to  carry  on  the  work.  A  depot  was  opened  for  the  distribution  of  food,  clothing,  and 
fuel  to  the  worthy  poor.  Long  familiarity  with  the  work  enabled  the  physicians  to  locate  the  deserv- 
ing needy  and  spread  the  benefits  without  waste.  In  response  to  an  appeal  from  The  World,  the 
generous  and  charitable  readers  came  forward  with  donations  of  vegetables,  meat,  groceries,  and  other 
foodstuffs,  new  and  old  clothes,  coal  and  wood,  and  iliberal  contributions  of  money.  Nearly  2,000 
families  were  sustained  for  more  than  a  fortnight,  about  5, 000  men,  women,  and  children  received 
needed  articles  of  wear  from  a  single  garment  to  a  complete  wardrobe,  and  nearly  1,000  sick  children 
were  treated.  Best  of  all,  the  contributions,  amounting  to  more  than  $1,000,  paid  all  the  expenses,  so 
that  the  Sick  Babies'  Fund  proper  was  left  intact  for  the  legitimate  purposes  for  which  it  was  con- 
tributed. 

The  Christmas- Tree  Fund  was  ample  as  a  Santa  Clans  to  more  than  50,000  children  from  the  tene- 
ments, who  received  toys,  sweetmeats,  and  articles  of  warm  clothing  at  the  seven  Christmas  Tree 
parties  on  Christmas  mormng  in  seven  halls  in  various  sections  of  the  metropolis. 

SPORTS  AND  PASTIMES. 

In  serving  the  news  of  sports  and  pastimes.  The  World  has  followed  its  invariable  rule  and  has 
retained  the  best  authorities  in  the  various  lines  of  sport  as  its  purveyors  of  these  events.  A.  A.  Zim- 
merman was  engaged  as  editor  of  the  bicycle  news,  "Jimmy"  Michael  contributed  signed  racing 
comments,  Harry  Beecher  chronicled  football  events,  and  John  L.  Sullivan  reported  the  great 
Corbett- Fitzsimmons  fight 

The  baseball  extras  issued  each  afternoon  during  the  League  championship  season  almost  simul- 
taneously with  the  final  play  in  the  game  at  the  Polo  Grounds,  have  been  the  popular  wonder  of 
Newspaper  Row.  They  gave  a  full  and  accurate  account  of  the  game,  together  with  the  results  in  all 
other  games,  racing,  yachting,  and  every  other  kind  of  sport    The  sale  was  immense. 

The  great  six-day  bicycle  race  at  Madison  Square  Garden,  where  the  winner  rode  nearly 
2,000  miles,  wYis  best  reported  in  the  various  editions  of  The  World,  and  bicycling  as  a  sport  and 
pastime  received  its  best  representation  through  The  World. 

The  report  of  the  meeting  between  Mr.  August  Belmont  and  the  directors  of  the  Turf  Congress  at 
San  Francisco  and  the  amicable  turf  agreement  reached  between  East  and  West  was  first  puhlished 
in  The  World.

Midnight 

On  shipboard,  for  purpose  of  discipline  and  to  divide  the  watch  fairly,  the  crew  is  mustered  In  two 
divisions  ;  the  Starboard  (right  side,  looking  toward  the  head)  and  the  Port  (left).  The  day  com- 
mences at  noon,  and  is  thus  divided :  Afternoon  Watch,  noon  to  4  p.  m.  ;  First  Dog  Watch,  4  p.  m  to 
6  1'.  M.  ;  f<econd  Dog  Watch,  6  p.  51.  to  8  p.  m.  ;  First  Watch,  8  p.  m.  to  Midnight ;  Middle  Watch,  12 
A.M.  to  4  A.M.  ;  Morning  Watch, 4  a. m.  to  8  a. M.  ;  Forenoon  Watch,  8  a.m.  to  noon.  This  makes 
seven  Watches,  which  enables  the  crew  to  keep  them  alternately,  as  the  Watch  which  comes  on  duty 
at  noon  one  day  has  the  afternoon  next  day,and  the  men  who  have  only  four  hours'  rest  one  night  have 
eight  hours  the  next.  This  is  the  reason  for  having  Dog  Watches,  which  are  made  by  dividing  the 
hours  between  4  p.  m.  and  8  p.  m.  into  two  Watches.  Time  is  kept  by  means  of  ' '  Beus, ' '  although 
sometimes  there  is  but  one  Bell  on  the  ship.— Whilaker.

when  one  is  due  north  or  south  of  the  other ;  if  the  bodies  are 
near  each  other  as  seen  from  the  earth,  they  will  rise  and  set  at  the  same  time ;   they  are  in 
' '  opposition  "    ( § )  when  in  opposite  quarters  of  the  heavens,  or  when  one  rises  just  as  the 
other  is  setting.       ' '  Quadrature ' '    is  half  way  between   conjunction   and   opposition.      By

I.— ECLIPSES. 

There  will  be  six  Eclipses  in  the  year  1898;  three  of  the  sun  and  three  of  the  moon,  as  follows: 
1.  A  partial  Eclipse  of  the  Moon  January  7,  visible  in  the  eastern  portions  of  North  and  South 
America,  and  in  Europe,  Asia,  and  Africa.

Magnitude  of  the  Eclipse  0. 157  of  the  Moon' s  diameter,  on  the  southern  limb.  The  point  of  first 
contact  with  the  shadow  is  169°  from  the  northern  point  of  the  Moon's  limb  toward  the  east,  and  the 
last  contact  142o  toward  the  west. 

2.  A  total  Eclipse  of  the  Sun  January  21,  invisible  in  America.  The  path  of  the  central  Eclipse 
begins  near  a  point  in  Lat.  11°.  2  N.  anc"  Long.  9o.  8  E.,  which  is  in  Western  Africa;  itthen  moves  east- 
ward,bearing  a  little  to  the  south  through  the  centre  of  that  continent  unti^  it  enters  the  Arabian 
Gulf,  where  its  course  changes  to  northeast,  crossing  India,  directly  ve^the  city  of  Allahabad,  Western 
China,  and  terminates  in  Easteri.  Siberia.  It  will  be  visible  as  a  partial  Jclipse  o ver  nearly  the  whole 
of  Asia  and  Africa  and  the  eastern  part  of  Europe,  including  Italy,  Greece,  Turkey,  Austria,  Eussia, 
and  portions  of  France,  Germany,  and  Sweden. 

3.  A  partial  Eclipse  of  the  Moon  July  3,  invisible  in  America,  visible  in  Europe,  Asia,  and 
Africa. 

4.  An  Annular  Eclipse  of  the  Sun  July  18,  visible  in  the  South  Pacific  Ocean,  the  northern  part 
of  New  Zealand,  Patagonia,  and  the  southern  portions  of  Chile  and  the  Argentine  Bepublic. 

5.  A  partial  Eclipse  of  the  Sun  December  12-13,  visible  only  in  the  Antarctic  Ocean.  Magnitude 
of  the  Eclipse  0. 023  of  the  Sun' s  diameter. 

This  Eclipse  is  remarkable  as  the  last  of  a  cycle  of  Eclipses  which  began  near  the  North  Pole 
about  1260  years  ago.     At  its  last  return,  December  1,  1880,  its  magnitude  was  0. 042  of  the  Sun's

5r^0  Ancient  antr  l^otrrrn  ¥ear. 

The  Athenians  began  the  year  in  June,  the  Macedonians  in  September,  the  Romans  first  in  March 
and  afterward  in  January,  the  Persians  on  August  11,  the  ancient  Mexicans  on  February  23,  the  Mo- 
hammedans in  July.  The  Chinese  year,  which  begins  early  In  February,  is  similar  to  the  Moham- 
medan in  having  12 months  of  29  and 30  dajs  alternately ;  but  in  every  nmeteen  years  there  are  seven 
years  which  have  13  months.  This  is  not  quite  correct,  and  the  Chinese  have  therefore  formed  a 
cycle  of  60  years,  in  which  period  22  intercalary  months  occur.

The  mean  obliquity  of  the  ecliptic  for  the  year  1898  is  23°  27'  S'l.  96.  Mean  annual  dim- 
inution, 0".46. 

The  present  accepted  value  of  the  solar  parallax  is  8".  81  at  the  earth' s  mean  distance,  which 
is  92, 790, 000  miles,  with  a  probable  error  of  a}x)ut  75, 000  miles  more  or  less. 

The  eccentricitj'  of  the  earth' s  orbit  is  0. 016771 ;  we  are  therefore  3, 112, 560  miles  nearer  to 
the  sun  at  perihelion  (January'  1)  than  at  aphelion  (about  July  1). 

Length  of  the  sidereal  year,  365  days.  6  hours,  9  minutes,  9. 6  seconds  of  mean  time. 

Length  of  the  tropical  year  (from  equinox  to  equinox),  365 days,  5 hours,  48  minutes,  46.07 
•ftconds  of  mean  time. 

Mean  distance  from  earth  to  moon,  238, 850  miles.

The  velocity  of  light  is  186, 330  miles  per  second. 

Light  requires  8  minutes  and  18  seconds  to  pass  from  the  sun  to  the  earth  when  at  its

From  June  16.  to  August  1  both  the  upper  and  lower  transits  take  place  during  daylight. 
The  azimuth  at  the  time  of  greatest  eastern  or  western  elongation  can  be  easily  computea  from 

the  formula :  <;in  ^  =  — ^ 

cos  I 
where  A  denotes  the  azimuth,  p  the  polar  distance,  and  I  the  latitude  of  the  place. 

DATE  OF  GREATEST  ELONG-ATION. 
To  find  the  time  of  greatest  eastern  or  western  elongation,  let  Zf  denote  the  hour  angle,  and  I 
and  p  as  before,  then  we  shall  have 

cos  H—  tan  p  tan  I. 
And  the  hour  angle  in  mean  time  is 

Em=H°X  00664846. 
This  quantity,  Rm,  added  to  or  subtracted  from  the  time  of  transit  ^iven  above,  according 
to  the  elongation  required,  will  give  the  mean  time  of  the  greatest  elongation  at  any  place  whose 
north  latitude  is  I.

J^oonlifif)t  atjart,  1898* 


Explanation.  —The  white  spaces  indicate  the  amount  of  moonlight  each  night.  Thus,  January  7, 
February  6,  etc.,  the  time  of  full  moon,  when  for  two  or  three  nights  in  succession  moonlight  lasts 
all  night;  January  14,  February  13,  etc, ,  when  the  moon  rises  at  or  near  midnight  or  when  the  latter 
half  of  the  night  has  moonlight;  January  22,  February  20,  etc. ,  the  time  of  new  moon,  when  for  two 
or  three  nights  there  is  no  moonlight;  January  29,  February  28,  etc.,  when  the  moon  seta  at  or  near 
midnight,  or  when  the  former  half  of  the  night  has  moonlight

The  number  of  asteroids  discovered  up  to  present  date  is  423.     A  number  of  these  small 

Elanets  have  not  been  observed  since  their  discovery,  and  are  pi-actically  lost.     Consequently  it 
!  now  sometimes  a  matter  of  doubt,  imtil  the  elements  have  been  computed,  whether  the  supposed 
new  planet  is  really  new,  or  only  an  old  one  rediscovered. 

'  'It  is  supposed  that  a  Centauri,  one  of  the  brightest  stars  of  the  Southern  Hemisphere,  is  the 
nearest  of  the  fixed  stars  to  the  earth.  The  researches  on  its  parallax  by  Henderson  and  Maclear 
gave,  for  its  distance  from  the  earth,  in  round  numbers,  twenty  billions  of  miles.  At  the  incon- 
ceivably rapid  rate  at  which  light  is  propagated  through  space,  it  would  require  more  than  four 
years  to  reach  the  earth  from  *Ms  star. ' '  —  Whitaker. 


OTjt  J^oon. 


Thk  mean  distance  of  the  Moon  from  the  Earth  is  238, 850  miles ;  its  mean  sidereal  revolution  round 
the  Earth  is  27  days,  7  hours,  43  minutes,  11. 46  seconds;  its  mean  synodical  revolution,  or  the  period 
from  new  moon  to  new  moon,  is  29  daA-s,  12  hours,  44  minutes,  2.87  seconds;  the  eccentricity  of  its 
orbit  is  0.0549,  audits  diameter  is  2,162  miles.  The  Earth  being  taken  as  unity,  the  density  is.  61; 
mass,  1-81;  volume,  1-50,  and  gravity,  1-6;  that  is  to  say,  the  Earth  would  weigh  as  ixiuch  as 81  Moons, 
is  50  times  lai^er,  and  a  pound  of  matter  at  the  Moon's  surface  would,  if  transferred  to  the  Earth, 
weigh  6  pounds.

z  early  Egyptians  divided  the  day  and  night  each  into  twelve  hours,  a  custom  adopted  bv  the 
■  Greeks  probably  from  the  Babylonians.     The  day  is  said  to  have  first  been  divided  into  hours 


The 
Jews  or 

from  B.  c.  293,  when  a  sun-dial  was  erected  in  the  temple  of  Quirinus,  at  Rome.  Previous  to  the  in- 
vention of  water-clocks,  B.  c.  158,  the  time  was  called  at  Rome  by  public  criers.  In  eariy  England 
one  expedient  for  measuring  time  was  by  wax  candles,  three  inches  burning  an  hour.  The  first  per* 
feet  mechanical  clock  was  not  made  until  about  a.  d.  1250.  Day  began  at  sunrise  among  most  of^th© 
Northern  nation3,at  sunset  among  the  Athenians  and  Jews,  at  midnight  among  the  Romans,  as  with  us.

certain  days  as  holidays,  forcommercial  purposes, 
in  such  legislation  as  the  Bankruptcy  act,  but. 
with  the  exception  named,  there  is  no  general 
statute  on  the  subject.  The  proclamation  of  the 
President  designating  a  day  oi  Thanksgiving  only 
makes  it  a  legal  holiday  in  those  States  which 
provide  by  law  for  it. 


These  holidays,  with  their  names,  had  their  origin  In  mediaeval  England  when  the  State  religion

In  the  monthly  calendars  which  foUow  this  page  the  times  of  rising  and  setting  of  the  sun  are  for 
the  upper  limb,  and  of  the  moon  for  the  centre.  Refraction  and  parallax  have  been  taken  into  account 
in  both  cases.  Although  computed  for  Boston.  New  York,  Washington,  and  Charleston,  they  wUl 
serve  with  sufficient  accuracy  for  all  ordinary  purposes,  for  all  other  places  situated  on  or  near  the 
same  parallel  of  latitude.

The  Geological  Strata. 


CJe  ©frolo^ical  «Strata. 


The  strata  composing  the  earth' s  crust  is  divided  by  most  geologists  into  two  great  classes : 
1.  Those  generally  attributed  to  the  agency  of  water.  2.  To  the  action  of  fire ;  which  may  be 
subdividea  as  follows:  (a)  Aqueous  formations,  stratified,  rarely  crj-stalline* (sedimentary  or 
foasiljierous  rocks:  laetamorphic  or  unfossiliferous).  (6)  Igneous  formations,  unstratilied, 
crystalline  (volcanic,  as  basalt;  platonic,  as  granite). 

The  geological  record  is  classified  into  five  main  divisions  or  periods :  1.  The  Archaeau,  life- 
less and  dawn  of  life.  2.  The  Palaeozoic  (ancient  life).  3.  The  Mesozoic  (middle  life).  4.  Thb 
Cenozoic  (recent  life).     6.  Quaternary,  the  age  in  which  man' s  first  appearance  is  indicated.

The  above  estimate  was  made  by  Ernest  Greorge  Ravenstein,  F.  R.  G.  S. ,  the  geographer  and 
statistician,  and  is  for  1800. 

An  estimate  of  population  of  the  earth,  made  by  Drs.  Wagner  and  Supan,  editors  of 
"Bevolkerung  der  Erde"  (Perthes,  Gotha,  1891),  is  as  follows:  Europe,  357,379,000;  Asia, 
825,954,000;  Africa,  163,953,000;  America,  121,713,000;  Australia,  3,230,000;  Oceanic 
Islands,  7,420,000;  polar  regions,  80,400.  Total,  1,479,729,400.  The  estimate  of  area  of 
the  continents  and  islands  by  the  same  authorities  is  52, 821, 684. 

Ravenstein' s  estimate  of  the  earth's  fertile  region,  in  square  miles,  is  28, 269, 200 ;  steppe, 
13,901,000;  desert,  4,180,000;  polar  region,  4,888,800. 

The  population  of  the  earth  at  the  death  of  the  Emperor  Augastus,  estimated  by  Bodio,  was 
54,000,000.  The  population  of  Europe  hardly  exceeded  50,000,000  before  the  fifteenth 
century.  — MiillioE. 

The  area  and  cubic  contents  of  the  earth,  5;j»cording  to  the  data  of  Clark,  given  above,  are : 
Surface,  196, 971,984  square  miles;  cubic  contents,  259, 944, 035, 515  cubic  miles. 

Murray  (Challenger  expedition)  states  the  greatest  depth  of  the  Atlantic  Ocean  at  27,366 
feet;  Pacific  Ocean,  30,000  feet;  Indian  Ocean,  18,582  feet;  Southern  Ocean,  25,200  feet; 
Arctic  Ocean,  9, 000  feet.  The  Atlantic  Ocean  has  an  area,  in  square  miles,  of  24, 536, 000 ; 
Paciflo  Ocean,  60,309,000;  Indian  Ocean,  17,034,000;  Arctic  Ocean,  4,781,000;  Sou*-iem 
Ocean,  30, 592, 000.  The  highest  mountain  is  believed  to  be  Deodhunga,  one  of  the  Himalayas, 
29, 002  feet.  Lord  Kelvin  estimates  the  age  of  the  solid  earth  to  be  between  20, 000, 000  and 
30, 000, 000  years,  and  of  the  human  race  the  same.

The  human  family  is  subject  to  forty- five  principal  governments.  As  to  their  form  they  may 
be  classified  as  follows :  Absolute  monarchies,  China,  Korea,  Morocco,  Persia,  Russia,  Siam, 
Turkey;  Limiled  vionarckies,  Austria- Hungary,  Belgium,  British  Empire,  Denmark,  Germany, 
Greece,  Italy,  Japan,  Netherlands,  Portugal,  Roumania,  Sersda,  Sweden  and  Norway,  Spain  ; 
Republics,  Argentme  Republic,  Bolivia,  Brazil,  Chile,  Colombia,  Costa  Rica,  Ecuador,  France, 
Guatemala,  Hawaii,  Hayti,  Honduras,  Mexico,  Nicaragua,  Orange  Free  State,  Paraguay,  Peru, 
Salvador,  San  Domingo,  S-vvitzerland,  Transvaal,  United  States  of  America,  Uruguay,  Venezuela. 
Besides  these  are  the  undefined  despotisms  of  Central  and  South  Africa,  and  a  few  insignificant 
independent  States. 

The  average  duration  of  human  life  is  about  33  years.  One-  quarter  of  the  people  on  the  earth 
die  before  age  6,  one- half  before  age  16,  and  only  about  1  person  of  each  100  bom  lives  to  age 
65.  The  deaths  are  calculated  at  67  per  minute,  97, 790  per  dav,  and  35, 639, 835  per  year ;  the 
births  at  70  per  minute,  100, 800  per  day,  and  36, 792, 000  per  year.

62  The  Inftuence  of  the  Moon  on  the    Weather, 

W^t  XuHuence  of  tfte  JWoon  on  tje  SSIeatifter* 

From  time  immemorial  an  almost  universal  belief  has  existed  in  all  nations  that  the  moon  exer- 
cises a  controlling  influence  not  only  over  the  weather,  but  also  over  various  conditions  of  animal  and 
vegetable  life.  The  desire  to  look  into  the  future,  both  inphysical  and  spiritual  matters,  has  probably 
existed  in  man  from  the  very  beginning  of  his  career,  and  accordingly  the  various  astronomical  phe- 
nomena have  been  looked  upon  as  in  some  inscrutable  way  connected  with  the  coming  physical,  social, 
and  political  changes  on  the  surface  of  our  planet 

The  frequency  of  the  moon' s  phases  is  so  conspicuous  and  so  great  that  it  is  by  no  means  diflBcult 
to  find  numerous  instances  to  confirm  the  belief  that  such  changes  control  conditions  on  the  earth.  A 
change  in  the  moou  m.ust  occur  about  once  a  week,  the  interval  from  new  moon  to  first  quarter  or 
from  first  quarter  to  full  moon,  etc. ,  being  between  seven  or  eight  days,  and  all  changes  in  the 
weather  must  therefore  occur  within  the  half  of  this  interval,  or  three  and  three- fourths  days  of  a 
change  of  the  moon,  and  fifty  per  cent  of  them  ought  to  occur  within  two  days  of  a  change  if  there  were 
no  casual  connection  whatever.  Accordingly  rules  have  been  formulated  for  the  purpose  of  predict- 
ing changes  in  the  weather  both  from  the  particular  change  of  phase  of  the  moon  and  the  date  at  which 
it  takes  place.  Even  so  distinguished  an  astronomer  as  the  late  Sir  William  Herschell  is  said  to  have 
prepared  a  series  of  such  rules  or  precepts,  which  are  now  known  to  the  unscientific  as  "Herschell's 
Weather  Tables, "  to  be  found  in  many  of  our  local  almanacs  prepared  for  our  rural  population. 

Out  of  this,  too,  has  grown  the  belief  in  the  supposed  lunar  influence  over  agricultural  operations, 
such,  for  instance,  as  sowing  or  planting  certain  seeds  during  certain  phases  of  the  moon.  The  posi- 
tion in  the  visible  neavena  in  which  the  moon'  a  changes  take  place  is  also  believed  to  exercise  some 
influence  over  the  affairs  of  men-  In  many  of  our  local  almanacs  is  to  be  found  the  figure  of  a  man 
surrounded  by  twelve  other  figures  representing  the  so-called  signs  of  the  Zodiac.  In  ancient  times 
astrologers  divided  the  sun's  apparent  annual  path  through  the  sky  into  twelve  equal  parts  of  30o 
each,  called  signs,  and  gave  particular  names  to  the  group  of  stars  in  each,  such  as  aries,  the  ram ;  leo, 
the  lion ;  libra,  the  balance ;  cancer,  the  crab,  eta  When  the  moon  in  her  orbit  entered  one  of  these 
signs,  it  was  supposed  to  possess  some  occult  influence  over  certain  parts  of  the  human  body,  and  also 
to  exert  some  power  for  either  good  or  evU.  over  agricultural  and  other  operations.  -«« 

All  these  beliefs  are  founded  on  pure  superstition,  and  are  mere  survivors  of  a  past  credulity. 
Inasmuch  as  the  moon  is  known  to  assist  in  producing  tides  on  the  ocean,  it  has  been  inferred  that  it 
must  likewise  cause  tides  in  the  atmosphere,  and  in  this  way  make  changes  in  the  weather.  The  only 
evidence  of  an  aerial  tide  is  afforded  by  the  increased  pressure  or  weight  of  the  air  as  shown  by  the 
barometer.  Now,  a  tide,  whether  in  the  ocean  or  in  the  atmosphere,  exists  only  to  restore  the  balance 
of  pressure  which  nas  been  disturbed  by  an  external  attraction.  The  longer  column  of  air  under  the 
moon  at  high  tide  does  not  press  more  heavily  than  the  shorter  column  at  low  tide,  because  it  is  the 
lifting  power  of  the  moon  which  causes  any  difference  in  the  heights.  Now,  observations  made  in 
various  localities,  and  extending  over  nearly  three-quarters  of  a  century,  show  that  if  an  aerial  tide 
exists  at  all  it  is  exceedingly  slight,  the  change  in  the  height  of  the  mercurial  column  of  the  barometer 
being  less  than  one- thousandth  of  an  inch.  An  aerial  tidal  wave  due  to  the  moon' s  attraction  has, 
therefore,  practically  no  existence. 

An  opinion  also  prevails  that  the  moon  radiates  heat,  and  thus  assists  in  dissolving  clouds,  but 
the  most  refined  observations,  continued  for  many  years,  show  that  if  any  heat  is  received  from  the 
moon  it  is  practically  insensible.  This  is  what  might  be  expected,  as  the  temperature  of  the  lunar 
surf  ace  must  be  very  low,  there  being  no  atmosphere  to  prevent  the  radiation  of  heat  as  fast  as  it  is 

XGCGiVGCi* 

Meteorological  observations  have  been  made  for  more  than  a  third  of  a  century  in  different  coun- 
tries of  Europe  and  elsewhere,  with  the  express  purpose  of  ascertaining  the  number  of  rainy  days 
during  the  waxing  and  waning  of  the  moon,  and  the  results  in  every  instance  have  been  unsatis- 
factory and  contradictory.  Thus,  in  Southern  Germany  it  was  found  that  during  a  period  of  twenty 
five  years  the  number  of  rainy  da^s  in  the  waxing  moon  (from  new  to  full  moon)  was  to  the  num- 
ber in  the  waning  moon  as  six  to  five,  while  in  the  South  of  France  the  ratio  was  as  nine  to  eleven, 
and  nearly  opposite  results  were  obtained  at  Paris.  The  same  experience  has  been  found  in  Canada 
and  the  United  States.  The  observations  have  proved  nothing,  and  where  the  same  or  similar  results 
were  obtained  in  two  or  more  different  localities,  they  only  indicate  coincidences,  and  not  conse- 
quences. It  can  thence  be  safely  concluded  that  the  moon  has  no  influence  whatever  in  producing 
rain.  Equally  worthless  is  the  tradition  that  the  crescent  of  the  new  moon  when  nearly  horizontal, 
foretells  a  wet  month,  and  when  nearly  vertical,  a  dry  month.  These  positions  of  the  moon' seres- 
cent  must  occur  every  nineteen  years  and  are  a  necessary  consequence  of  the  motion  of  the  moon's 
orbit,  the  change  from  one  form  or  position  of  the  crescent  to  the  other  being  very  slow  and  gradual. 
Those  who  are  willing  to  accept  these  as  signs  do  so  from  coincidences  they  may  have  happened  to 
observe,  carefully  noting  the  instances  which  have  proved  the  sign  and  neglecting  those  that  do  not. 
They  are  in  fact  convinced  because  they  desire  to  be  convinced  of  what  really  possesses  no  foundation 
in  fact.    Coincidences  enough  can  easily  be  found  to  justify  a  pre-existing  belief  in  almost  anything. 

Observations  extending  over  many  years  have  been  made  in  several  countries  with  the  view  of 
determining  whether  or  not  the  moon  produces  any  other  changes  in  the  weather,  and  the  results  have 
also  been  contradictory  and  valueless  in  every  instance;  thus,  100 consecutive  new  moons  were  fol- 
lowed by  58  changes  of  weather;  100  full  moons  by  63  changes,  and  100  quarterings  by  64  changes. 
This  might  seem  to  show  that  the  new  moon  is  followed  by  the  fewest  changes,  but  this  is  contrary  to 
what  is  commonly  believed.  In  short,  all  scientific  observation  goes  to  show  conclusively  that  the 
moon  possesses  no  influence  whatever  over  the  weather.  The  traditions  which  are  believed  in  some 
quarters  and  which  indicate  the  time  of  the  moon  in  which  to  sow  or  plant  certain  seeds  or  to  perforin 
other  acts,  etc.,  are  all  too  absurd  to  demand  a  refutation. 

Practical  meteorology  cannot  yet  be  said  to  have  attained  to  the  rank  and  dignity  of  a  science. 
From  the  very  nature  of  the  case,  we  can  know  very  little  about  the  causes  which  bring  about  changes 
in  the  weather.  UntU  our  knowledge  of  electricity  in  all  of  its  various  phases  is  vastly  extended, 
our  forecasts  of  the  weather  must  be,  in  the  majority  of  cases,  mere  guesses.  We  understand  the 
cause  of  the  trade  winds;  we  can  tell  when  they  wiU  begin  and  when  they  will  cease,  but  we  cannot 
explain  the  cause  of  the  whirlwind  in  our  streets,  much  less  can  we  say  a  day  or  even  an  hour  in 
advance  when  and  where  the  next  cyclone  will  strike  us.  Wind  and  rain  storms  follow  no  known 
law ;  they  are  variable  and  capricious  in  the  extreme,  being  influenced  by  numerous  local  causes, 
such  as  the  proximity  of  oceanic  currents,  mountain  chains,  deserts,  large  lakes,  extensive  forests, 
etc. ,  etc.,  to  which  may  be  added  temperature  and  hjgrometric,  electric,  and  magnetic  conditions  oi 
whose  operations,  as  meteorological  factors,  we  know  little  or  nothing.  In^fact,  the  statement  of  a 
sacred  writer  seems  to  fit  the  case  exactly:  "The  wind  bloweth  where  it  listeth  and  thou  hearest  the 
sound  thereof,  but  thou  canst  not  tell  whence  it  cometh  or  whither  it  goeth. "  J.  M.

Thb  Weather  Bureau  furnishes,  when  practicable,  for  the  benefit  of  the  general  public  and  those 
Interests  dependent  to  a  greater  or  less  extent  upon  weather  conditions,  the  '  'Forecasts' '  which  are 
prepared  dailv,  at  10  a.  m.  and  10  p.  m.  ,  for  the  following  day.  These  weather  forecasts  are  tele- 
graphed to  observers  at  stations  of  the  Weather  Bureau,  railway  oflHcials,  and  many  others,  and  are  so 
worded  as  to  be  readily  communicated  to  the  public  by  means  of  flags  or  steam- whistles.  The  flags 
adopted  for  this  purpose  are  five  in  number,  and  of  the  form  and  dimensions  indicated  below:

Clear  or  fair  weather.    Bain  or  snow.    Local  rains  or  snow.    Temperature  signal.       Cold  wave. 

Number  1,  white  flag,  six  feet  square,  indicates  clear  or  fair  weather.  Number  2,  blue  flag, 
six  feet  square,  indicates  rain  or  snow.  Number  3,  white  and  blue  flag  (parallel  bars  of  white 
and  blue),  six  feet  square,  indicates  that  local  rains  or  showers  will  occur,  and  that  the  rainfall 
will  not  be  general.  Number  4,  black  triangular  flag,  four  feet  at  the  base  and  six  feet  in 
length,  always  refers  to  temperature ;  when  placed  above  number  1,  2,  or  3  it  indicates  warmer 
weather;  when  placed  below  number  1,  2,  or  3  it  indicates  colder  weather ;  when  not  displayed, 
the  indications  are  that  the  temperature  will  remain  stationarj',  or  that  the  change  in  tempera- 
ture will  not  vary  more  than  five  degrees  from  the  temperature  of  the  same  hour  of  the  preceding 
day  from  June  to  August,  inclusive,  seven  degrees  from  November  to  March,  inclusive,  and  not 
more  than  six  degrees  for  the  remaining  months  of  the  year.  Number  5,  white  flag,  six  feet 
square,  Avith  black  square  in  centre,  indicates  the  approach  of  a  sudden  and  decided  fall  in  tem- 
perature, and  is  usually  ordered  at  least  twenty- four  hour?  m  advance  of  the  cold  wave.  When 
number  5  is  displayed,  number  4  is  always  omitted. 

A  special  storm  flag,  red  with  black  square  in  centre  (not  showTi  above),  is  prescribed  for 
use  in  North  and  South  Dakota,  Minnesota  (except  at  Lake  stations),  Iowa,  Nebraska,  and  Wyom- 
ing, to  indicate  high  \vinds,  accompanied  by  snow,  with  temperature  below  freezing. 

When  displayed  on  jwles,  the  signals  should  be  arranged  to  read  do"ivnward ;  when  displayed 
from  horizontal  supports,  a  small  streamer  should  be  attached  to  indicate  the  f>oint  from  which 
the  signals  are  to  be  read,

Note.— The  above  table  was  prepared  for  The  World  Almanac  by  the  Geographic  Branch  of  the 
United  States  Geological  Survey.  It  should  be  stated  in  connection  with  this  table  that  it  presents 
only  points  whose  heights  are  matters  of  record,  and  that  in  several  cases  in  the  high  mountain  region 
of  the  far  West  and  the  Pacific  Slope  it  is  well  known  that  there  are  higher  points  within  the  State  or 
Territory  whose  heights  are  not  yet  known  with  accuracy,  and  consequently  cannot  be  given. 

This  table  was  revised  by  the  United  States  Geoloarical  Survey  to  November  1,  1897. 

♦  Mt.  St.  Ellas,  supposed  to  be  the  highest  point  in  Alaska,  is  now  believed  to  be  in  Canadian 
eerritory.  There  are  reports  of  mountains  in  Alaska  far  to  the  northwest  higher  than  Mt  St.  Slias, 
but  not  yet  verified-  ^  ^^^  , 

t  Western  end  of  Beaver  County,  Oklahoma,  reaches  5,000  feet  elevation.

{Benised  December ^  1897,  at  the  New  York  JPost-  Office,  for  The  Wobld  Almanac.  ) 

DOMESTIC    RATES    OF    POSTAGE. 

All  mailable  matter  for  transmission  by  the  United  States  mails  witMn  the  United  States  is 
divided  into  four  classes,  under  the  following  regulations  : 

First-CIass  Matter,— This  class  includes  letters,  i>ostal  cards,  and  anything  sealed  or 
otherwise  closed  against  inspection,  or  anything  containing  writing  not  allowed  as  an  accom- 
paniment to  printed  matter  imder  class  three. 

Rates  ot  letter  postage  to  any  part  of  the  United  States,  two  cents  per  ounce  or  fraction  thereof. 

Rates  on  local  or  drop  letters  at  free  delivery  offices,  two  cents  per  oxmce  or  fraction  thereof. 
At  offices  where  there  is  no  free  delivery  by  carriers,  one  cent  per  ounce  or  fraction  thereof. 

Rates  on  postal  cards ,  one  cent  ( double  or  ' '  reply ' '  cards,  two  cents ).  Nothing  must  be  added 
or  attached  to  a  postal  card,  except  that  a  printed  address  slip  may  be  pasted  on  the  address  or 
message  side.  The  addition  of  anything  else  subjects  the  card  to  letter  postage.  A  card  con- 
taining any  offensive  dun  or  any  scurrilous  or  indecent  communication  will  not  be  forwarded. 
Nothing  but  the  address  must  be  placed  on  the  face,  or  stamped  side.  Cards  that  have  been 
spoiled  in  printing  or  otherwise  will  not  be  redeemed.  Cards  issued  by  private  persons  are  not 
' '  postal  cards, ' '  and  if  bearing  written  or  partly  written  messages  must  be  prepaid  two  cents. 
Double  or  '  'reply' '  postal  cards  must  be  folded  before  being  mailed. 

Rates  on  specially  delivered  letters,  ten  cents  on  each  letter  in  addition  \xit\iQ  regular  postage. 
This  entitles  the  letter  to  immediate  delivery  by  special  messenger.  Special  delivery  stamps  are 
sold  at  post-  offices,  and  must  be  affixed  to  such  letters.  An  ordinary  ten-  cent  stamp  affixed  to  a 
letter  will  not  entitle  it  to  special  delivery.  The  delivery,  at  carrier  offices,  extends  to  the  limits 
of  the  carrier  routes.  At  non- carrier  offices  it  extends  to  one  mile  from  the  post-office.  Post- 
masters are  not  obliged  to  deliver  beyond  these  limits,  and  letters  addressed  to  places  beyond 
must  await  delivery  in  the  usual  way,  notwithstanding  the  special  delivery  stamp. 

Prepayment  by  stamps  invariably  required.  Postage  on  all  letters  should  be  fvXly  prepaid, 
but  if  prepaid  one  full  rate  and  no  more,  they  will  be  forwarded,  and  the  amount  of  deficient 

Sostage  collected  on  delivery  ;  if  wholly  unpaid,  or  prepaid  with  less  than  one  full  rate  and 
eposited  at  a  post-office,  the  addressee  will  be  notified  to  remit  postage ;  and  if  he  fails  to  do  so, 
they  will  be  sent  to  the  Dead  Letter  Office ;  but  they  will  be  returned  to  the  sender  if  he  is  located 
at  the  place  of  mailing,  and  if  his  address  be  printed  or  written  upon  them. 

Letter  rates  are  charged  on  all  productions  by  the  typewriter  or  manifold  process,  and  on  all 
printed  imitations  of  typewriting  or  manuscript  that  cannot  be  easily  recognized  as  such. 

Letters  (but  no  other  class  of  mail  matter)  will  be  returned  to  the  sender  free,  if  a  request  to 
that  effect  is  printed  or  written  on  the  enveloi>e.    There  is  no  limit  of  weight  for  first-  class  matter. 

Prepaid  letters  will  be  reforwarded  from  one  post-  office  to  another  upon  the  written  request  of 
the  person  addressed,  without  additional  charge  for  postage.  The  direction  on  forwarded  letters 
may  be  changed  as  many  times  as  may  be  necessary  to  reach  the  person  addressed. 

Second-Class  Matter.— This  class  includes  all  newspapers,  periodicals,  or  matter  ex- 
clusively in  print  and  regularly  issued  at  stated  intervals  as  frequently  as  four  times  a  year,  from 
a  known  office  of  publication  or  news  agency,  to  actual  subscribers  or  news  agents,  and  transient 
newspapers  and  publications  of  this  character  mailed  by  persons  other  than  publishers.  Also 
periodical  publications  of  benevolent  and  fraternal  societies,  etc.  This  appUes  to  all  reports  and 
the  like  made  by  officers  of  societies  organized  under  the  lodge  system  and  having  a  member- 
ship of  a  thousand  persons,  and  of  the  bulletins  and  proceedmgs  of  strictly  professional, 
literary,  historical,  and  scientific  associations  and  institutions,  trade-  unions,  etc. ,  provided 
only  that  these  be  published  not  less  often  than  four  times  a  year,  and  that  they  be  printed  on 
and  be  bound  in  paper.  Publishers  who  wish  to  avail  themselves  of  the  privileges  of  the  act 
are  required  to  make  formal  application  to  the  department  through  the  postmaster  at  the 
place  of  publication,  producing  satisfactory  evidence  that  the  organizations  represented  come 
within  the  purview  of  the  law,  and  that  the  object  of  the  publications  is  to  further  the  objects  and 
purposes  of' the  organizations. 

Rates  of  postage  to  publishers,  one  cent  a  pound  or  fractionaZ  part  thereof,  prepaid  by  special 
stamps.  Pubhcations  designed  primarily  for  advertising  or  free  circulation,  or  not  having  a 
legitimate  list  of  subscribers,  are  excluded  from  the  pound  rate,  and  pay  third-  class  rates. 

Whenever  the  general  character  and  manner  of  issue  of  a  periodical  publication  is  changed 
in  the  interest  of  the  publisher,  or  of  an  advertiser  or  other  person,  by  the  addition  of  unusual 
quantities  of  advertisements,  or  of  matter  different  from  that  usually  appearing  in  the  publica- 
tion, or  calculated  to  give  special  prominence  to  some  particular  business  or  businesses,  or 
otherwise — especially  where  large  numbers  of  copies  are  circulated  by  or  in  the  interest  of  par- 
ticular persons,  or  where  there  is  to  be  an  excessive  number  of  alleged  sample  copies  mailed,  or 
where  the  issue  is  to  be  sold  at  a  special  and  different  price  than  that  charged  for  the  customary 
issues,  the  second-class  rates  of  postage  will  be  denied  that  issue;  and  if  there  be  repeated 
instances  of  such  irregularities,  the  publication  will  be  excluded  from  the  mails  as  second-class 
matter. 

Buch  '•Christmas,"  '*  New  Year's,"  and  other  special  issues,  including  "Almanacs,"  as 
are  excluded  from  second-class  privileges  by  the  terms  above  specified  may  be  transmitted  by 
mall  only  when  prepaid  by  postage- stamps  at  the  rate  applicable  to  third-class  matter — one  cent 
for  each  two  ounces  or  fraction  thereof. 

Publications  sent  to  actual  subscribers  in  the  county  where  published  are  free,  unless  mailed 
for  local  delivery  at  a  letter-carrier  office. 

Rates  of  postage  on  transient  newspapers,  magazines,  or  periodicals,  otic  cent  for  each  four 
ounces  or  fraction  thereof.    It  should  be  observed  that  the  rate  is  one  cent  for  each  four  ounces,  not

one  cent  for  each  paper  contained  in  the  same  wrapper.  Second-  class  matter  will  be  entitled  to 
special  delivery  when  special  delivery  ten- cent  stamps  are  affixed  in  addition  to  the  regular 
postage. 

Transient  second-class  matter  must  be  so  wrapped  as  to  enable  the  postmaster  to  Inspect  it. 
The  sender' s  name  and  address  may  be  written  in  tliem,  but  any  other  writing  subjects  the  mat- 
ter to  letter  postage.    The  name  and  address  of  the  sender  may  also  be  written  on  the  wrapper. 

Third-class  Matter,— Mail  matter  of  the  third  class  includes  printed  books,  pamphlets, 
engravings,  circulars  (in  print  or  bv  the  hectograph,  electric-pen,  or  similar  process),  and 
other  matter  wholly  in  print,  proof- sneets,  corrected  proof-sheets,  and  manuscript  copy  accom- 
j>anying  the  same. 

The  rate  on  matter  of  this  class  is  one  cent  for  each  two  ounces  or  fraction  therecf. 

Manuscript  unaccompanied  by  proof-sheets  must  pay  letter  rates. 

Third-class  matter  must  admit  of  easy  inspection,  otherwise  it  will  be  charged  letter  rates  on 
delivery.     It  must  be  fully  prepaid,  or  it  will  not  be  forwarded. 

The  limit  of  weight  is  four  pounds,  except  single  books  in  separate  packages,  on  which  the 
weight  is  not  limited.  It  is  entitled,  like  matter  of  the  other  classes,  to  special  delivery  when 
special  delivery  stamps  are  affixed  in  addition  to  the  regular  postage. 

Upon  matter  of  the  third-  class,  or  upon  the  wrapper  or  envelope  inclosing  the  same,  or  the 
tag  or  label  attached  thereto,  the  sender  may  write  his  own  name,  occupation,  and  residence  or 
business  address,  preceded  by  the  word  '  'from, ' '  and  may  make  marks  other  than  by  written 
or  printed  words  to  call  attention  to  any  word  or  passage  in  the  text,  and  may  correct  any  typo- 
graphical errors.  There  may  be  placed  upon  the  blank  leaves  or  cover  of  any  book,  or  printed 
matter  of  the  third-class,  a  simple  manuscript  dedication  or  inscription  not  of  the  nature  of  a 
personal  correspondence.  Upon  the  wrapper  or  envelope  of  third-class  matter,  or  the  tag  or 
label  attached  thereto,  may  be  printed  any  matter  mailable  as  third- class,  but  there  must  be 
left  on  the  address  side  a  space  sufficient  for  the  legible  addre^^s  and  necessary  stamps. 

Fourth-Class  J>Iatter.— Fourth- class  matter  is  all  mailable  matter  not  included  in  the 
three  preceding  classes  which  is  so  prepared  for  mailing  as  to  be  easily  withdrawn  from  the 
wrapper  and  examined.  It  embraces  merchandise  and  samples  of  every  description,  and  coin 
or  specie. 

Rate  of  postage,  one  cent  for  each  ounce  or  fraction  thereof  (except  seeds,  roots,  bulbs,  cuttings, 
eions,  and  plants,  the  rate  on  which  is  one  cent  for  each  two  ounces  or  fraction  tereof).  This  matter 
must  be  fully  prepaid,  or  it  will  not  be  forwarded.  The  affixing  of  special  delivery  ten- cent 
stamps  in  addition  to  the  regular  i)ostage  entitles  fourth- class  matter  to  special  delivery,  (See 
remarks  under  ' '  first-  class  matter. ' ' ) 

Articles  of  this  class  that  are  liable  to  injure  or  deface  the  mails,  such  as  glass,  sugar,  needles, 
nails,  i)ens,  etc. ,  must  be  first  wrapped  in  a  bag,  box,  or  open  envelope  and  then  secured  in  an- 
other outside  tube  or  box,  made  oi  metal  or  hard  wood,  without  sharp  corners  or  edges,  and 
having  a  sliding  clasp  or  screw  lid,  thus  securing  the  articles  in  a  double  package.  The  public 
should  bear  in  mind  that  the  first  object  of  the  department  is  to  transport  the  mails  safely,  and 
every  other  interest  is  made  subordinate. 

Such  articles  as  poisons,  explosives,  or  inflammable  articles,  live  animals,  insects,  or  sub- 
Stances  exhaling  a  bad  odor  will  not  be  forwarded  in  any  case. 

Firearms  may  only  be  sent  in  detached  parts. 

The  regulations  respecting  the  mailing  of  liquids  are  as  follows :  Liquids,  not  ardent,  vinous, 
spirituous,  or  malt,  and  not  liable  to  explosion,  spontaneous  combustion,  or  ignition  by  shock  or 
jar,  and  not  inflammable  (such  as  kerosene,  naphtha,  or  turpentine),  may  be  admitted  to  the 
mails  for  transportation  within  the  United  States,  When  in  glass  bottles  or  vials,  such  bottles 
or  vials  must  be  strong  enough  to  stand  the  shock  of  handling  in  the  mails,  and  must  be  in- 
closed in  a  metal,  wooden,  or  papier  mache  block  or  tube,  not  less  than  three- sixteenths  of  an 
iach  thick  in  the  thinnest  part,  strong  enough  to  support  the  weight  of  mails  piled  in  bags  and 
resist  rough  handling;  ana  there  must  be  pro\'ided,  oetween  the  bottle  and  said  block  or  tube, 
a  cushion  of  cotton,  felt,  or  some  other  absorbent  sufficient  to  protect  the  glass  from  shock  in 
handling ;  the  block  or  tube  to  be  closed  by  a  tightly  fitting  Jid  or. cover,  bo  adjusted  as  to  make 
the  block  or  tube  water  tight  and  to  prevent  the  leakage  of  the,  contents  in  case  of  breaking 
the  glass.  When  inclosed  in  a  tin  cylinder,  metal  case,  ortube^  such  cylinder,  case,  or  tube 
should  have  a  lid  or  cover  so  secured  as  to  make  the  case  or  tube  water  tight,  and  should  be 
securely  fastened  in  a  wooden  or  papier  mache  block  (open  only  at  one  end),  and  not  less  in 
thickness  and  strength  than  above  described.  Manufacturers  or.  dealers  intending  to  transmit 
articles  or  samples  in  considerable  quantities  should  submit  a  sample  package,  showing  their 
mode  of  packing,  to  the  postmaster  at  the  mailing  office,  who  will  see  that  the  conditions  of  this 
section  are  carefully  observed.  The  limit  of  admissible  liquids  and  oils  is  not  exceeding  four 
ounces,  liquid  measure. 

Limit  of  weight  of  fourth- class  matter  (excepting  liquids),  four  pounds. 

The  name  and  address  of  the  sender,  preceded  by  the  word  '  'from, ' '  also  the  names  and  num- 
ber (quantity)  of  the  articles  inclosed,  maybe  written  on  the  wrapper  of  fourth- class  mjitter 
without  additional  postage  charge.  A  request  to  the  delivering  postmaster  may  also  be  written 
asking  him  to  return  the  package  if  not  delivered. 

Re^stration.— All  kinds  of  postal  matter  may  be  registered  at  the  rate  of  dgfii  cents  for  each 
paciagrein  addition  to  the  regular  rates  of  postage,  to  be  fully  prepaid  by  stamps.  Each  pack- 
age must  bear  the  name  and  address  of  the  sender,  and  a  receipt  will  be  returned  from  the 
person  to  whom  addressed.  Mail  matter  can  be  registered  at  all  post-offices  in  the  United  States. 

The  Post-  Office  Department  or  its  revenue  is  not  by  law  liable  for  the  loss  of  any  registered 
or  other  mail  matter. 

Congress,  at  a  late  session,  passed  an  act  authorizing  the  Postmasvr- General  to  formulate 
aiystem  by  which  an  indemnity— not  to  exceed  $10  for  any  one  registered  piece— «hall  be  paid 
lor  th«  loss  of  first -class  registered  matter.    This  has  not  yet  become  operative. 


Domestic  Money  Orders.— Domestic  money  orders  are  issued  by  money- order  post- ofioes 

for  any  amount  up  to  $100,  at  the  following  rates : 

For  sums  not  exceeding  $2. 50,  3  cents ;  over  $2. 50  to  $5,  5  cents ;  over  $5  to  $10,  8  cetita  j 
over  $10  to  $20,  10  cents ;  over  $20  to  $30,  12  cents ;  over  $30  to  $40,  15  cents ;  over  $40  to 
$50,  18  cents ;  over  $50  to  $60,  20  cents ;  over  $60  to  $75,  25  cents ;  over  $75  to  $100,  30  cents, 

Htamped  Envelopes.— Embossed  stamped  envelopes  and  newspaper  wrappers  of  several 
denominations,  sizes,  and  colors  are  kept  on  sale  at  post-offices,  singly  or  in  quantities,  at  a 
small  advance  on  the  postage  rate.  Stamps  cut  from  stamped  envelopes  are  valueless ;  but  post- 
masters are  authorized  to  give  good  stamps  for  stamped  envelopes  or  newspaper  wrappers  that 
may  be  spoDed  in  directing,  if  presented  in  whole  condition  and  with  satisfactory  evidence. 


All  matter  concerning  lotteries,  gift  concerts,  or  schemes  devised  to  defraud  the  public,  or 
for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  money  under  false  pretences,  is  denied  transmission  in  the  maUs. 

Applications  for  the  establishment  of  post-offices  should  be  addressed  to  the  First  Assistant 
Postmaster- General,  accompanied  by  a  statement  of  the  necessity  therefor.  Instructions  will 
then  be  given  and  blanks  furnished  to  enable  the  petitioners  to  proAdde  the  department  with  the 
necessary  information. 

The  franking  privilege  was  abolished  July  1,  1873,  but  the  following  mail  matter  may  be 
sent  free  by  legislative  saving  clauses,  viz. : 

1.  All  public  documents  printed  by  order  of  Congress,  the  Congressional  Record  and 
speeches  contained  therein,  franked  by  Members  of  Congress,  or  the  Secretary  of  the  Senate,  or 
Clerk  of  the  House. 

2.  Seeds  transmitted  by  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture,  or  by  any  Member  of  Congress,  pro- 
cured from  that  Department. 

8.  All  periodicals  sent  to  subscribers  within  the  county  where  printed. 

4.  Letters  and  packages  relating  exclusively  to  tlie  business  of  the  Gkjvemment  of  the 
United  States,  mailed  only  by  officers  of  the  same,  publications  required  to  be  mailed  to  the 
Librarian  of  Congress  by  the  Copyright  law,  and  letters  and  parcels  mailed  by  the  Smithsonian 
Institution.    All  these  must  be  covered  by  specially  printed  ' '  penalty ' '  envelopes  or  labels. 

5.  The  Vice- President,  Members  and  Members- elect  and  Delegates  and  Delegates- elect  to 
Congress  may  frank  any  mail  matter,  not  over  one  ounce  in  weight,  upon  official  or  depart- 
mental business. 

All  communications  to  Government  officers  and  to  Members  of  Congress  are  required  to  be 
prepaid  by  stamps.  ^___ 

Sugg-estions  to  tbe  Public  {from  the  United  States  Official  Postal-  Guide).  — Mail  all  letters,  etc. , 
as  early  as  practicable,  especially  when  sent  in  large  nvunbers,  as  is  frequently  the  caae  witn 
newspapers  and  circulars. 

All  mail  matter  at  large  post-offices  is  necessarily  handled  in  great  haste  and  should  there- 
fore in  all  cases  be  so  plainly  addressed  as  to  leave  no  room  for  doubt  and  no  excuse  fob 
ERROR  on  the  part  of  postal  employes.  Names  of  States  should  be  written  in  full  (or  their 
abbreviations  very  distinctly  written)  in  order  to  prevent  errors  which  arise  from  the  similarity 
of  such  abbreviations  as  Cal.,  Col.  ;  Pa.,  Va. ,  Vt.  ;  Me.,  Mo.,  Md..;  loa. ,  Ind.  ;  N.  H. ,  N.  M. , 
N.  Y. ,  N.  J. ,  N.  C. ,  D.  C.  :  Miss. ,  Minn. ,  Mass.  ;  Nev. ,  Neb.  ;  Penn. ,  Tenn. ,  etc. ,  when  hastily 
or  carelessly  written.  This  is  especially  necessary  in  addressing  mail  matter  to  places  of  which 
the  names  are  borne  by  sev(^ral  post-offices  in  difterent  States. 

Avoid  as  much  as  possible  using  envelopes  made  of  flimsy  paper,  especially  where  more 
than  one  sheet  of  paper,  or  any  other  article  than  paper,  is  enclosed.  Being  often  handled,  and 
even  in  the  mail- bags  subject  to  pressure,  such  envelopes  not  infrequently  split  open,  giving 
cause  of  complaint. 

Never  send  money  or  any  other  article  of  value  through  the  mail  except  either  by  means  of 
a  money  order  or  in  a  registered  letter.  Any  person  who  sends  money  or  jewelry  in  an  unregis- 
tered letter  not  only  runs  a  risk  of  losing  his  property,  but  exposes  to  temptation  every  one 
through  whose  hands  his  letter  passes,  and  may  be  the  means  of  ultimately  ^^nnging  some  clerk 
or  letter-carrier  to  ruin. 

See  that  every  letter  or  package  bears  the  full  name  and  post-office  address  of  the  writer,  in 
order  to  secure  the  return  of  the  letter,  if  the  person  to  whom  it  is  directed  cannot  be  found.  A 
much  larger  portion  of  the  undelivered  letters  could  be  returned  if  the  names  and  addresses  of 
the  senders  were  always  fully  and  plainly  written^  or  printed  inside  or  on  the  envelopes. 
Persons  who  have  large  correspondence  find  it  most  convenient  to  use  ' '  special  request  envel- 
opes ;' '  but  those  who  only  mail  an  occasional  letter  can  avoid  much  trouble  by  writing  a 
request  to  ' '  return  if  not  delivered, ' '  etc. ,  on  the  envelope. 

When  dropping  a  letter,  newspaper,  etc.,  into  a  street  mailing- box,  or  into  the  receptacle  at 
a  post-office,  always  see  that  the  packet  falls  into  the  box  and  does  not  stick  in  its  passage; 
observe,  also,  particularly,  whether  the  postage  stamps  remain  securely  in  their  places. 

Postage  stamps  should  be  placed  on  the  upper  right- hand  comer  of  the  address  side  of  all 
mail  matter. 

The  street  and  number  (or  box  number)  should  form  a  part  of  the  address  of  all  mall  matter 
directed  to  cities.  In  most  cities  there  are  many  persons,  and  even  firms,  bearing  the  same 
name.  Before  depositing  any  package  or  other  article  for  mailing,  the  sender  should  assure  him- 
self that  it  is  wrapped  and  packed  in  the  manner  prescribed  by  postal  regulations ;  that  it  does 
not  contain  immailahle  matter  nor  exceed  the  limit  of  size  and  weight  as  fixed  by  law ;  and  that 
it  is  fully  prepaid  and  properly  addressed.  The  postage  stamps  on  all  mail  matter  are  necessarily 
cancelled  at  once,  and  the  value  of  those  affixed  to  packages  that  are  afterward  discovered  to  be 
Bhoit-paid  or  otherwise  unmailable  is  therefore  liable  to  be  lost  to  the  senders.

Postage  can  be  prepaid  upon  articles  only  by  means  of  the  postage  stamps  of  the  country  in  which 
the  articles  are  maUed.  Hence  articles  mailed  in  one  country  addressed  to  another  country  which 
bear  postage  stamps  of  the  country  to  which  they  are  addressed  are  treated  as  if  they  had  no  postage 
stamps  attached  to  them. 

Unpaid  letters  received  from  the  Postal  Union  are  chargeable  with  10  cents  per  15  grams  Q4 
ounce).  Insufficiently  prepaid  correspondence  of  all  kinds  is  chargeable  with  double  the  amount  of

examined  at  the  office  of  delivery,  as  well  as  the  mailing  office,  without  destroying  the  wrapper.

THE    METRIC    SYSTEM    SIMPLIFIED. 

The  followiug  tables  of  the  metric  system  of  weights  and  measures  have  been  simplified  as  much 
as  possible  for  The  World  Almanac  by  omitting  such  denominations  as  are  not  in  practical, 
everyday  use  iu  the  countries  where  the systena  is  used  exclusively. 

TABLES  OP  THE  SYSTEM. 

Iiength.— The  denominations  in  practical  use  are  millimetres  (mm. ),  centimetres  (cm. ),  metres 
(m. ),  and  kilometres  (km. ). 

lO  mm.  =  1  cm.  ;  100  cm.  =  1  m.  ;  1,000  m.  =  1  km.     Note.  —A  decimetre  is  10  cm. 

Weifflit.— The  denominations  in  use  are  grams  (g. ),  kilos*  (kg. ),  and  tons  (metric  tons). 

l.OOio  g.  =  1  kg.  ;  1,000  kg.  =  1  metric  ton. 

CJapacity.— The  denominations  in  use  are  cubic  centimetres  (c,  c.)  and  litres  (1.). 

1,  OOO  c.  c.  =  1 1.     Note.  —A  hectolitre  is  100 1.  (seldom  used). 

Kelation  of  capacity  and  weight  to  length:  A  cubic  decimetre  is  a  litre,  and  a  litre  of  water  weighs 
a  kilo. 

APPROXIMATE  EQUIVALENTS. 

A  metre  is  about  a  yard ;  a  kilo  is  about  2  pounds;  a  litre  is  about  a  quart;  a  centimetre  is  about 
J^  inch ;  a  metric  ton  is  about  same  as  a  ton ;  a  kilometre  is  about  }4  mile ;  a  cubic  centimetre  is  about  a 
thimbleful ;  a  nickel  weighs  about  5  grams.

The  measures  of  length  and  the  weights  are  nearly,  practically,  the  same  as  those  in  use  in  the 
United  States.  The  English  ton  is  2,240  lbs.  avoirdupois,  the  same  as  the  long  ton,  or  shipping  ton 
of  the  United  States.  The  English  hundredweight  is  112  lbs.  avoirdupois,  the  same  as  the  long 
hundredweight  of  the  United  States.  The  metre  has  been  legalized  at  39. 37079  inches,  but  the  length 
of  39. 370432  inches,  as  adopted  by  France,  Germany,  Belgium,  and  Russia,  is  frequently  used. 

The  Imperial  gallon,  the  basis  of  the  system  of  capacity,  involves  an  error  of  about  1  part  in  1,836:

KESOLUTIONS  ADOPTED  BY  POLITICAL  STATE  CONVENTIONS  LAST  YEAR  DEFINING 
THEIB  POSITION  ON  NATIONAL  ISSUES,  GROUPED  BY  TOPICS. 

THE    FINANCES. 

DEMOCBATIC  CONVENTIONS. 

Iowa.— We  lav  special  emphasis  upon  that  portion  of  the  National  Democratic  platform  on  the 
financial  question,  believing  that  the  very  existence  of  the  farming,  laboring,  and  commercial  interests 
of  this  country  depends  upon  a  change  of  our  financial  policy,  and  we  enter  into  the  first  campaign 
after  the  great  battle  of  the  people  against  the  combined  corporate  and  money  power  with  the  reasser- 
tion  that  ^^  we  demand  the  free  and  unlimited  coinage  of  both  gold  and  silver  at  the  present  legal  ratio 
of  16  to  1  without  waiting  for  the  aid  or  consent  of  any  other  nation. ' ' 

Mary!  and.— The  Democracy  of  Maryland,  in  common  with  the  Democracy  of  the  Union  believe 
now,  as  they  always  have  believed,  in  honest  money,  the  gold  and  silver  money  of  the  Constitution 
and  the  coinage  of  both  metals  without  discrimination  against  either  into  standard  dollars  of  final 
payment  and  redemption.  We  note  with  satisfaction  that  the  demand  of  more  than  6, 500, 000  Dem- 
ocratic voters  expressed  at  the  polls  last  November  has  compelled  President  McKinley  and  a  Repub- 
lican Congress  to  urge  upon  the  European  powers,  through  the  medium  of  a  duly  appointed  commis- 
sion, the  necessity  for  an  international  conference  to  arrange  the  terms  of  a  bimetallic  system  under 
the  operation  of  which  both  gold  and  silver  shall  boused  and  recognized  as  money  of  final  redemp- 
tion. The  sufferings  of  the  masses^  the  honest  toilers,  the  bone  and  sinew,  the  brain  and  courage  and 
manhood  of  the  land  have  met  with  the  sjinpathy  of  the  Democracy,  and  the  protest  of  our  great 
party,  so  elociuently  voiced  in  last  y;ear's  elections,  has  forced  the  Republican  party,  despite  its 
arrogance  and  recklessness,  to  recognize  the  needs  of  an  aroused  and  patriotic  people.  And,  while 
many  Democrats  have  not  approved  all  the  expressions  of  their  party  in  National  Convention 
bimetallism  will  surely  come.  It  may  come  through  the  instrumentalities  set  in  motion  by  the  presenl 
Administration,  though  in  truth  inspired  by  the  intrepid  action  of  the  Democratic  voters.  But  it  will 
come,  and  the  prosperity  and  happiness  that  follow  in  its  train  will  be  due  to  the  courage,  the  un- 
daunted fidelity,  and  the  intelligent  patriotism  of  the  Democracy. 

Massachusetts.— The  Democratic  party  opposes  tne  attempt  to  fasten  on  the  country  gold  mono- 
metallism, and  demands  the  remonetizationof  silver  at  the  ratio  to  gold  of  16  to  1.  The  demand  for 
silver  would  be  so  enormous  and  the  demand  for  gold  so  reduced  that  the  two  would  meet  and  remain  at 
parity,  and  the  paralyzing  battle  of  the  standards  would  cease,  and  the  world  enter  upon  a  period  of 
assured  prosperity.  Just  now  a  shortage  of  the  world's  food  crops,  culminating  in  widespread  and 
ghastly  Asiatic  famine,  has  raised  prices  for  our  products.  These  abnormal  conditions  have  largely 
eliminated  the  competition  of  silver-usingcountries.  But  a  recurrence  of  good  crops  will  renew  the 
fierce  competition  of  these  countries,  which  will  again  underbid  the  American  farmer  and  reduce  the 
world' s  prices  of  agricultural  products.  While  Republicans  may  place  their  reliance  upon  temporary 
distress  abroad.  Democrats  demand  such  a  just  and  broad  basis  of  standard  money  as  will  maintain  a 
stable  standard  of  value  and  stable  prices  with  steady  employment  of  labor  and  capital  The  green- 
backs issued  by  the  Government  have  proved  the  country' s  best  paper  money,  and  should  not  be  can- 
celled. There  can  be  no  privilege  more  dangerous  than  the  control  of  our  currency  supply  by  private 
bankers,  and  we  stoutly  oppose  their  attempt  to  strengthen  such  a  monopoly  by  the  substitution  of 
bank  notes  for  our  National  notes.  , 

Ohio.— The  Democrats  of  Ohio,  in  convention  assembled,  reafl&rm  and  indorse  the  declaration 
of  principles  contained  in  the  platform  accepted  by  the  Democratic  party  in  the  National  Convention 
at  Chicago  in  1896,  which  platform  declares  the  money  question  paramount  to  all  others  at  this  time, 
and  is  as  follows: 

(Here  followed  the  financial  plank  of  the  Chicago  platform. ) 

Pennsylvania.— We,  the  Democrats  of  Pennsylvania  in  convention  assembled,  heartily  reaffirm 
and  reiterate  the  principles  of  the  Democratic  party  expressed  in  the  platform  adopted  by  the  National 
Convention  at  Chicago  in  1896,  and  approved  by  6,500,000  free  and  independent  voters.  We  are 
firmly  and  unalterably  opposed  to  the  single  gold  standard,  which  has  been  the  direct  cause  of  the 
financial  distress  that  has  followed  upon  our  people  since  its  adoption,  and  we  are  in  favor  of  a  com- 
plete and  iminediate  return  to  our  original  specie  basis,  as  it  existed  prior  to  the  demonetization  act  of 
1873.  We  congratulate  William  J.  Bryan,  the  glorious  champion  of  a  righteous  cause,  for  his 
masterly  leadership  in  support  of  these  principles. 

Virginia.— Upon  the  subject  of  the  currency  we  declare  ourselves  unalterably  opposed  to  the 
British  system  of  monometallism,  which  has  aggrandized  that  empire  at  the  expense  of  the  nations 
producing  food  supplies  and  raw  material,  and  its  adoption  has  only  aggravated  our  financial  servi- 
tude to  London.  It  is  notonly  un-American,  but  anti- American,  and  it  can  only  be  fastened  on  the 
United  States  by  the  stifling  of  that  spirit  and  love  of  liberty  which  proclaimed  our  political  inde- 
pendence in  1776,  and  caused  the  War  of  the  Revolution.  We  demand  the  free  and  unlimited  coin- 
age of  both  gold  and  silver  at  the  ratio  of  16  to  1,  without  waiting  for  the  aid  or  consent  of  any  na- 
tion. We  demand  the  repeal  of  the  10  per  cent  tax  on  the  issues  of  State  banks,  wtiich  pays  not  a 
dollar  into  tbe  Treasury  of  the  United  States,  and  which  remains  upon  the  statute  books  as  a  monu- 
ment of  arbitrary  and  perverse  legislation,  inspired  by  monopoly  and  conceived  iu  distrust  of  the 
people. 

NATIONAL  DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTIONS. 

K.entucky.— We  denounce  the  free  and  unlimited  coinagpi  of  silver  as  inevitably  producing  silver 
monometallisro,  and  we  advocate  a  gold  standard  and  the  coinage  of  silver  to  the  requirements  of 
commerce  as  offering  the  only  means  of  maintaining  bimetallism,  and  denounce  any  attempt  to  fix 
the  ratio  between  the  metals  arbitrarily  by  law,  without  reference  to  their  commercial  value,  as  unsafe 
and  dangerous  to  public  welfare  and  private  interests. 

Massachusetts.— We  adhere  to  and  insist  upon  the  maintenance  of  the  present  gold  standard. 


"We  believe  that  the  free  coinage  of  silver  at  a  ratio  of  16  to  1  when  the  present  commercial  ratio  la 
nearly  40  to  1  would  be  destructive  to  the  Interests  of  wage  earners,  of  depositors  in  savings  banks,  of 
the  insured,  of  the  veterans,  and  of  the  whole  people.  We  believe  that  the  payment  of  debts,  public 
or  private,  in  dollars  of  less  intrinsic  value  than  those  in  which  they  were  contracted  is  dishonorable 
and  dishonest.  Therefore,  we  affirm  our  allegiance  to  the  great  financial  principle  which  guided 
JeflFerson,  Jackson,  and  Cleveland;  that  it  is  the  sole  function  of  the  Federal  Government  in  monetary 
matters  to  provide  a  standard  of  value,  and  coin  metallic  money,  every  dollar  of  which  shall  be  of 
equal  intrinsic  value ;  that  nothing  but  this  coined  money  shall  be  legal  tenders,  and  that  the  Govern- 
ment shall  not  carry  on  a  banking  business.  We  demand  that  some  safe  plan  be  adopted  whereby  our 
legaJ  tender  paper,  silver,  and  silver  certificates  shall  be  withdrawn^  and  a  banking  system  under 
proper  control  be  established,  through  which  adequate  banking  facilities  may  be  furnished  to  all  sec- 
tions of  the  country.  We  believe  that  a  currency  based  upon  business  assets,  and  issued  upon  proper 
safeguards,  responds  automatically  to  the  necessities  of  commerce  and  permits  the  issue  of  an  elastic 
medium  of  exchange  in  those  sections  where  it  is  most  needed  for  the  creation  of  new  enterprises  and 
the  employment  of  American  labor. 

Ohio.— We  declare  for  the  maintenance  of  the  gold  standard,  for  the  retirement  of  the  greenback, 
and  for  the  extension  of  the  civil  service  merit  system,  wherever  possible  in  the  nation  and  in  this 
State, 

REPUBLICAN  CONVENTIONS. 

Iowa.-— The  Republican  party  of  Iowa  again  especially  declares  for  protection  and  honest  money. 

Maryland.— The  supreme  duty  of  maintaining  inviolate  the  National  honor  and  credit  renders  it 
imperativethatMarj'land  at  this  juncture  should  elect  to  the  United  States  Senate  an  advocate  and 
supporter  of  sound  money,  and  one  whose  past  conduct  is  a  guarantee  of  his  future  faithfulness. 

Pennsylvania.— "Dollar  wheat  "  has  sounded  the  death  knell  of  the  "free  coinage"  heresy. 
In  the  late  Presidential  campaign  the  strongest  bid  made  for  the  agricultural  vote  by  the  Democratic 
party  was  the  promise  that  their  success  in  that  election  would  raise  the  market  price  of  wheat  to  $1 
a  bushel,  payable  in  silver  They  were  overwhelmingly  defeated  at  the  polls,  and  the  farmer  now 
receives  for  his  wheat  $1  a  bushel— payable  in  gold.  The  dollar  he  thus  receives  will  buy  In  the  mar- 
ket $2. 35  worth  of  silver,  as  measured  by  the  .coinage  value  of  that  metal.  We  pledge  ourselves 
anew  to  the  Republican  doctrine  of  sound  money  and  an  honest  dollar. 


PROTECTION-THE  TARIPF. 

DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTIONS. 


Iowa.— The  notorious,  almost  avowed,  purpose  of  the  TariflF  bill  now  under  consideration  In  the 
Senate  is  to  repay  the  trusts,  the  mine,  the  mill,  and  the  factory  barons  for  their  pecuniary  aid  to 
McKinley ;  the  railroads  are  to  be  compensated  by  a  pooling  law,  and  it  is  on  the  programme,  as  an- 
nounced by  Secretary  Gage,  to  repay  the  banking  corporations  by  retiring  the  greenbacks  and  Sher- 
man treasury  notes  and  increasing  the  interest-bearing  debt  §500,000,000  for  their  exclusive  special 
interests,  and  not  for  the  people  at  large.  The  people  have  not  realized  it,  and  while  legislation  is 
for  the  classes  instead  of  the  masses,  they  never  will. 

Maryland.— The  Democratic  party  in  the  interest  of  the  whole  people  wUl  continue  to  wage  war 
against  the  iniquities  of  this  act,  and  will  insist  upon  a  taritf  for  revenue  sufficient  for  the  needs  of  the 
Government  economically  adrmnistered,  and  will  always  maintain  that  unnecessary  taxation  is  un- 
just taxation. 

Massachusetts.— Democracy  means  equality.  It  abhors  legislation  which  builds  up  the  vast 
wealth  of  the  trusts  and  syndicates  which  overshadow  the  laud  and  dictate  laws  to  Congress  for  their 
own  excessive  fain.  We  condemn  the  Dingley  law  as  a  measure  enacted  on  the  imperious  demand 
of  the  corporations  which  contributed  to  the  scandalous  Republican  campaign  fund,  and  which, 
against  the  public  welfare  and  in  violation  of  the  common  law,  use  the  favors  of  the  Government  to 
crush  out  all  competition  and  establish  industrial  monopoly. 

Virginia.— Tariff  duties  should  be  levied  for  revenue  purposes,  and  only  for  so  much  revenue  as 
may  be  needed  for  an  economic  administration  of  the  Government— the  great  surplus  in  the  Treasury 
being  auseless  absorption  of  the  public  wealth,  and  a  constant  temptation  to  extravagance.  We  de- 
nounce the  Tariff  bill  recently  pai^sed  by  the  Republican  Congress,  as  dictated  bj' trusts  and  monop- 
olies, and  in  the  interest  of  the  classesthat  live  upon  the  favoritism  of  the  Government,  and  not  upon 
the  fair  and  just  earnings  of  industry. 

NATIONAL  DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTIONS. 

Iowa,— We  denounce  the  Dingley  Tariff  bill  soon  to  be  enacted  into  law  by  a  Republican  Congress. 
Under  the  pretence  of  increasing  the  revenue  it  is  the  old  Republican  policy  of  protection  to  the  few  at 
the  expense  of  the  many.  It  tends  to  create  and  foster  trusts  and  monopolies,  and  we  recognize  in  It 
the  fulfilment  of  promised  reward  to  those  who  supplied  the  party  treasury.  We  renew  our  aUegl- 
ance  to  the  liistonc  Democratic  doctrine  of  a  tariff  for  revenue  only. 

Massachusetts.— A  protective  tariff  as  now  constructed  is  a  corrupt  purchase  of  government  aid 
by  favored  manufacturing,  mining,  and  producing  interests.  A  system  which  permits  great  trusts, 
campaign  contributions,  and  sectional  interests  to  dictate  their  own  schedule  to  Congressional  com- 
mittees, and  which  pays  no  regard  to  the  demands  and  interest  of  the  mass  of  the  consumers,  is  un- 
American,  unjust,  and  immoraL  It  creates  a  division  of  the  people  into  classes,  unduly  favors  cer- 
tain sections  of  the  country  at  the  expense  of  others,  and  produces  corruption  and  bribery  of  enormous 
magnitude  in  our  political  contests.  The  Chicago  platform  abandoned  the  old  Democratic  stand  upon 
the  tariff  and  declared  for  taxed  raw  materials.  Therefore,  we  reaffirm  the  historic  Democratic 
doctrine  of  tariff  for  revenue  only.  We  believe  that  raw  materials  should  be  freeof  duty  in  the  in- 
terest of  our  consumers,  that  they  may  not  be  compelled  to  pay  customs  taxes  In  the  form  of  increased 
prices  in  the  interest  of  our  manufacturers  that  they  may  be  able  to  compete  in  foreign  markets,  and 
in  the  interest  of  our  laborers  that  they  may  find  added  employment.  We  believe  that  all  duties 
which  tend  to  create  ormaintain  monopolies  and  trusts  should  be  abolished. 

Ohio.— We  denounce  the  recent  tariff  legislation  as  encouragement  of  extravagance  and  refrlnge- 
ment  of  private  right,  an  unfair  tax  on  all  for  the  benefit  of  some  of  the  people,  and  an  arbitrary  inter- 
ference by  legislation  with  the  natural  laws  of  trade.  We  denounce  In  the  Dingley  bUl  the  heavier 
duties  on  lumber,  wool,  and  hides  as  Increasing  the  cost  of  clothing  and  shelter  to  the  people. 

REPUBLICAN  CONVENTIONS. 

Iowa.— The  Republicans  of  Iowa  applaud  the  acts  of  Congress  in  so  quickly  reforming  the  tariff 
from  a  menace  against  the  interests  of  this  countrj'- into  adequate  protection  for  the  men  and  women 


of  the  United  States,  and  with  gratification  they  refer  to  the  efforts  of  the  Senators  and  Representatives 
from  Iowa  so  influential  in  the  prompt  passage  of  this  measure, 

Kentucky.— We  commend  the  action  of  the  representatives  of  the  Republican  party  in  the 

Sassage  of  a  TariflF  bill  which  will  raise  revenue  sufflcient  to  support  the  Government,  prevent  the 
sue  of  interest-bearing  bonds,  protect  American  labor,  and  maintain  the  National  credit. 
5las8achusett8.— The  Republican  party  has  given  what  the  people  wanted  and  believe  In— • 
tariff  to  protect  our  labor  and  cur  industries,  to  furnish  adequate  revenue  to  our  treasury— an  Ameri- 
can policy  for  the  American  people. 

New  York.— The  restoration  of  our  National  fortunes  was  brought  about  principally  by  the 
reatorationof  the  Republican  policy  of  protection  to  American  industries.  With  the  fact  established 
that  a  party  was  in  power  which  would  never  tolerate  the  thought  of  disowning  the  country' s  obllga= 
tlons  which  would  maintain  at  all  hazards  the  National  credit,  which  would  never  allow  anything 
stamped  as  an  American  dollar  to  be  of  less  value  than  a  dollar  of  gold,  which  would  enforce  the  laws 
and  maintain  the  dignity  and  authority  of  the  courts,  and  upon  the  passage  of  a  new  protective  tariff 
Insuring  to  the  people  plenty  of  work,  fair  earnings,  and  a  ready  market,  confidence  was  at  once 
restored.  The  people  began  to  produce  because  they  knew  there  was  an  easy  sale  for  their  production, 
and  that  they  would  be  paid  in  money  than  which  there  was  none  better  on  the  face  of  the  earth.

Ohio.- Faithfully  wedded  to  the  principle  of  protection,  we  demand  for  the  wool  growers  of  Ohio 
Buch  ample  protection  for  wool  as  shall  speedily  increase  American  flocks  sufficiently  to  supply  all 

American  needs,  ,  ^,  ^^,     ^,     ,      ™,    .« 

Pennsylvania.— We  rejoice  with  the  people  of  the  nation  upon  the  passage  of  the  Dingley  Tariff 
bill.  Its  enactment  redeems  the  pledges  made  by  the  Republican  party  to  our  prostrate  manufactur- 
ing commercial,  and  business  interests,  and  holds  out  to  them  the  bright  promise  of  prosperity  and 
material  development,  such  as  has  ever  attended  upon  legislation  designed  for  the  protection  of  home 
industries  and  the  preservation  of  home  markets.  Already  the  hum  of  reviving  industry  is  heard 
throughout  the  IftUQ  and  the  business  interests  are  responding  eagerly  to  the  encouraging  iimu©nc«  of 
this  legislation, 

PRESIDENT    M*KINLEY*S    ADMINISTRATION. 

DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTION. 

Maryland.— In  all  respects  other  than  this  reluctant  performance,  the  Republican  party  has  been 
false  to  the  pledges  and  professions  upon  the  strength  of  which,  last  November^  It  secured  the 
sufirages  of  the  American  people.  Triumphing  upon  an  issue  of  nnancial  reform,  it  was  bound  by 
every  obligation  of  good  faith  to  redeem  its  promises  to  the  country.  Every  existing  act  relating  to 
the  currency  is  the  work  of  the  Republican  party.  That  party  is  responsible  for  every  one  of  the  de- 
fects in  a  system  now  universally  regarded  as  being  vicious  and  unwholesome.  That  party  Is, 
therefore,  responsible  for  their  correction.  Yet  President  McKinley  convened  the  Congress  in  extra 
session  within  the  fortnight  following  his  inauguration,  and  now,  after  more  than  four  months  of  de- 
liberation, which  the  Democrats  have  had  no  power  to  interrupt  or  influence,  the  Congress  has  ad- 
journed without  giving  the  people  the  smallest  measure  of  financial  relief,  and  with  the  sole  result  of 
Imposing  upon  them  a  Tarin  law  more  oppressive  and  iniquitous  than  has  ever  disgraced  our  statute 
books— a  law  which  taxes  the  masses  for  the  benefit  of  the  classes,  which  narrows  the  field  of  indi- 
vidual opportunity,  which  forbids  the  expansion  of  our  commerce,  and  which  has  not  even  the  merit 
of  providing  a  sufficient  revenue  for  the  proper  conduct  of  the  Government.  It  is  in  all  respects  a 
more  odious  and  abhorrent  measure  than  the  McKinley  act  of  1890.  That  act  was  overwhelmingly 
repudiated  and  rebuked  by  the  people  in  1892.  The  Dingley  act  wUl  be  still  more  signally  condeaaned 
inl.898. 

REPUBLICAN  CONVENTIONS. 

lotra.— The  Republicans  of  Iowa,  met  in  convention,  are  enthusiastic  in  the  recollection  of  a 
great  victory  recently  won  and  confident  in  the  belief  that  a  still  larger  majority  awaits  them  at  the 
close  of  the  contest  now  opened.  They  review  with  the  utmost  satisfaction  the  campaign  of  last  year 
and  congratulate  not  only  the  Republicans  but  all  the  people  upon  the  triumphant  election  of  William 
McKinley,  President  of  the  United  States,  and  highly  commend  his  wisdom  and  energy  in  directing 
the  whole  ""orce  of  the  Administration  toward  the  early  and  complete  fulfilment  of  all  the  pledges  of 
the  party  at  St.  Louis.  ^^  ^^      x 

Maryland.— The  Republicans  of  Maryland,  in  State  Convention  assembled,  view  with  the  utmost 
Batlsfaction  the  beneficent  results  so  lately  achieved  under  Republican  administration  in  State  and 
nation,  and  we  regard  a  continuance  of  the  Republican  party  m  power  as  essential  for  still  further 
enlarged  public  service  and  greater  public  benefit.  We  congratulate  the  people  of  this  country  on  the 
revival  of  business  and  the  return  of  prosperity  through  the  principles  and  policies  of  the  National 
Republican  party.  ,    ^      ^         ^ ,  , 

Massacuusetts.- We  see  a  Republican  President  Instituting  an  honest  search  for  honest  bi- 
metallism which  an  international  agreement  alone  can  effect;  under  severe  pressure  for  place,  not 
merely  maintaining  but  wisely  extending  the  merit  system  in  our  civil  service;  declaring  to  other 
nations  a  policy,  dignified  and  firm  without  arrogance,  patriotic  always.  Surrounded  by  a  Cabinet 
in  which  Massachusetts  has  the  right  to  feel  espeeial  pride,  having  an  invincible  patriotism  which 
obliterates  sections  and  ignores  creeds  and  conditions,  stands  the  President  of  the  whole  nation, 
William  McKinley.  .    ,  ^,       .  ,     .   .  ^    x.        m 

Nsw  York.— The  Republicans  of  New  York  cannot  too  warmly  indorse  the  Administration  of 
William  McKinley.  He  enjoys  the  singular  distinction  of  being  a  President  who  at  the  end  of  hla 
first  nine  months  of  administration  could  be  re-elected  by  increased  majorities.  He  has  displayed 
all  the  qualities  of  tact,  discretion,  perception,  judgment,  decision,  aqd  force  which  mark  successful 
government.  —(By  the  Republican  State  Committee. ) 

Pcnnsvlvania.— We  neartily  and  cordially  indorse  the  Administration  of  President  McKinley. 
Although  but  a  few  months  have  passed  since  nis  induction  into  the  high  office  for  which  he  was 
chosen,  he  has  proved  himself  worthy  of  the  confidence  reposed  in  him  by  the  American  people. 
Firm  as  an  executive  officer,  diplomatic  and  dignified  in  his  official  relations  with  other  countries,

80  Party  Platfortns  on   National  Issues   in   1897. 


REPUBLICAN   POLICY   IN   CONGRESS. 

DEMOCBATIO  CONVENTIONS. 

IOWa«— -It  is  to  further  the  ends  of  those  who  do  not  produce,  but  absorb  wealth,  and  legislation  in 
whose  behalf  is  rapidly  segregating  society  into  the  few  very  rich  and  the  very  many  poor,  that 
.Speaker  Reed  arbitrarily  refuses  to  permit  the  National  House  of  Representatives  to  legislate,  and 
ileniesto  the  American  people  the  representation  iu  the  Government  to  which  they  are  entitled  by 
the  fundamental  law. 

Maryland.— Thus,  in  a  time  of  widespread  industrial  depression,  when  the  agricultural  classes 
are  confronted  by  poverty  in  its  direst  form,  and  when  tbe  toilers  in  the  mines  and  factories  find  them- 
selves forced  into  despair  and  suffering,  the  Republican  party  not  only  fails  to  keep  the  solemn  promise 
of  1896,  but  actually  mocks  the  taxpayere  by  an  extravagance  of  expenditure  and  profligacy  of  ap- 
propriation which  that  party,  even  in  the  carnival  that  raged  from  1868  to  1876,  never  dreamed  of 
rivaling. 

Massachusetts.— The  National  House  of  Representatives  has  ceased  to  be  a  deliberative  body, 
and  the  Speaker  has  usurped  its  power.  In  the  words  of  the  senior  Senator  from  Massachusetts, 
'  'Gentlemen  occupy  seats  there  who,  from  the  beginning  to  the  end  of  their  terms  of  service,  are  not 
permitted  to  make  a  motion  or  to  utter  a  word  to  the  assembly  of  which  they  are  members. ' '  Laws 
are  practically  ordered  to  be  passed,  and  the  House  of  Representatives  is  no  longer  a  place  for  public 
debates.  Bills  appropriating  seventy  millions  of  dollars  were  passed  without  amendment  and  before 
the  Speaker  would  even  appoint  the  committees.  The  Tariff  bill,  on  its  report  from  the  conference 
committee,  was  forced  through  without  opportunity  for  examination.  As  a  result  of  this  suppression 
*of  the  rights  of  the  people' s  representatives,  one  section  embodying  a  ten  per  cent  discriminating  duty 
which  threatened  the  business  interests  or  New  England  was  passed  without  the  knowledtje  of  a 
single  member  of  the  Massachusetts  delegation  in  the  House.  The  clandestine  insertion  of  this  clause 
shows  how  tariffs  are  made. 

NATIONAL  DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTION. 

Massachusetts. —We  believe  that  the  people  have  a  right  to  be  heard  in  Congress  through  their 
chosen  representatives.  We  condemn  the  tyrannicallsuppression  of  action  by  debate  by  the  Speaker 
of  the  House  and  his  usurpation  of  power,  which  has  made  possible  the  secret  insertion  in  acts  of  Con- 
gress of  obnoxious  clauses  intended  to  cripple  the  interest  of  New  England. 

REPUBLICAN  CON%TENTION. 

Maryland.— The  action  of  the  Republican  House  of  Representatives,  under  the  able  leadership 
of  Speaker  Reed,  in  promptly  seconding  the  efforts  of  President  McKinleyto  secure  a  non-partisan 
currency  commission,  me«fe  with  our  hearty  appro vaL 


DEMOCRATIC    PARTY    POLICY. 

DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTIONS. 

Kentucky.— That  we  hereby  reaffirm  our  faith  in  the  principles  set  forth  and  enumerated  in  the 
platform  adopted  by  the  Democratic  party  in  National  Convention  held  at  Chicago  in  July,  1896,  and 
we  readopt  said  platform  as  the  platform  of  the  Democracy  of  Kentucky.  That  the  principles  adopted 
and  set  forth  in  that  platform  are  the  true  principles  of  Democratic  faith,  and  we  urge  upon  all  true 
Democrats  to  stand  by  them  at  all  times  and  under  all  circumstances  and  conditions. 

Virginia.— We  reaffirm  the  platform  of  the  National  Democratic  Convention,  adopted  at  Chi- 
cago, in  July,  1896,  and  upon  which  William  Jennings  Bryan  was  nominated  for  the  Presideucj'  of 
the  United  States,  and  we  extend  our  congratulations  to  our  noble  champion  upon  the  able  and 
brilliant  manner  in  which  he  discharged  the  trust  reposed  in  him.  The  fact  that  he  received  m,ore 
votes  than  any j)revious  Democratic  candidate  for  the  Presidency,  and  more  than  anj^  candidate  of 
any  partj',  saving,  alone,  his  successful  opponent,  is  evidence  that  Democratic  principles  are  still 
dear  to  the  vast  mass  of  the  American  people,  and  that  Democracy  is  living  in  the  hope  of  an  early 
and  complete  triumph.  We  especially  endorse  the  doctrines  of  the  National  Democratic  party  upon 
the  four  great  issues  which  are  before  the  people  of  this  country,  viz. :  The  tariff,  an  income  tax,  the 
regulating  of  trusts,  and  the  currency. 

NATIONAL  DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTIONS. 

Kentucky.— The  National  Democracy  of  Kentucky,  in  convention  assembled,  cordially  approve 
the  action  taken  last  year  resulting  in  the  Indianapolis  Convention,  the  nomination  of  Palmer  and 
Buckner,  and  the  complete  reorganization  and  perpetuation  of  the  Democratic  party,  not  only  for 
that  campaign,  but  for  all  time ;  and  with  equal  cordiality  indorse  the  platform  of  principles  announced 
by  the  Louisville  Convention  of  1896,  and  the  platform  adopted  at  Indianapolis,  and  reaffirm  our 
hearty  allegiance  to  the  principles  and  policies  therein  expressed,  atid  declare  they  are  in  accordance 
with  the  Democratic  platforms  adopted  by  the  various  preceding  National  and  State  conventions— 
which  we  hereby  readopt,  and  by  which  we  stand.  We  reaffirm,  as  the  pledge  of  the  Democratic 
party,  that  when  intrusted  with  Federal  power  it  will  enact  such  tax  laws  as  will  produce  suflBcient 
revenue,  and  framed  for  revenue  only,  levying  necessary  taxes  only,  and  with  impartiality  and  with- 
out bounties,  bonuses,  or  favors;  will  reform  the  currency  laws  so  as  to  maintain  the  standard  of  the 
world  and  furnish  a  sound, stable,  and  sufficient  currency  of  gold  and  silver,  interchangeable  with  each 
other  at  equal  commercial  value ;  will  regain,  with  suitable  revenue  and  navigation  laws,  the  suprem- 
acy of  the  seas ;  enforce  a  proper  civil  service  system;  preserve  the  public  order;  maintain  the  public 
peace,  and  protect  the  rights,  liberties,  and  property  of  the  citizens  by  such  means  as  may  be  necessary 
at  home  and  abroad. 

rHassacliiisetts.- We  hereby  renew  our  fealty  to  these  cardinal  principles  of  Democracy,  which 
were  first  enunciated  by  Jefferson  in  the  dawn  of  the  century,  and  which  have  been  advocated  by  its 
greatleadersfrom  that  time  down  to  1896,  and  under  which  it  has  achieved  all  its  great  victories: 
The  largest  freedom  of  the  individual  consistent  with  good  government  and  opposition  to  paternalism 
and  to  all  class  legislation.  Equal  right  to  all;  special  privileges  to  none.  The  support  of  the 
Federal  Government  in  all  its  departments  in  its  lull  constitutional  vigor,  and  the  preservation  of  the 
Statesinalltheirrights.  A  strict  construction  of  the  Constitution  in  the  interpretation  of  laws,  but  faith- 
ful obedience  to  all  laws  when  once  construed  by  the  courts.  That  taxation  in  all  forms  should  be  for 
publlcpurposesonly  and  not  for  private  gain,  and  should  be  limited  to  the  actual  necessities  of  the 
Government  economically  adminstered.  The  honest  payment  of  our  debts,  the  sacred  preservation 
of  the  National  honor,  and  a  sound  and  stable  currency.  Retrenchment  and  rigid  economy  in  the 
public  expenditures.

FOREIGN    POLICY-ARBITRATION. 

DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTION. 
Massachusetts.— We  are  heartily  in  favor  of  the  settlement  of  disputes  among  civilized  netions 
bv  arbitration,  but  we  do  not  deem  it  wise  or  helpful  to  the  cause  of  universal  peace  that  the  United 
Slates  should  be  a  party  to  a  treaty  of  arbitration  with  a  single  power,  to  the  exclusion  of  other 
nations,  for  we  cannot  forget  the  loyal  friendship  of  France  and  Russia  in  our  perilous  conflicts  with 
Great  Britain,  and  have  no  sympathy  with  any  measure  tending  to  place  them  at  a  disadvantage  in 
their  relations  with  that  nation. 

NATIONAL  DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTIONS. 

Iowa.— We  favor  a  dignified,  intelligent,  and  firm  foreign  policy.    Power  and  progress  to  the 
American  people  are  involved  in  honorable  peace  with  all  the  world.    Jingoism  destroys  commerce 
begets  unrest,  and  encourages  needless  taxation  in  preparation  for  war.  ' 

Massachusetts.— We  favor  arbitration  for  the  settlement  of  all  international  disputes. 


ANNEXATION  OF  HAWAII. 

NATIONAL  DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTIONS. 

Massachusetts.— We  oppose  all  extensions  of  the  boundaries  of  the  United  States  which  would 
bring  under  itsgovernment  masses  of  people  unfitted  for  American  citizenship,  and  territories  diffi- 
cult to  defend  in  case  of  war  and  requiring  burdensome  taxation  of  our  own  people  to  maintain  in- 
creased armies  and  navies. 

Ohio.— We  condemn  the  proposed  annexation  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  as  introducing  into  our 
union  a  large  Asiatic  and  tropical  population  utterly  unfitted  for  American  citizenship,  as  the  be- 
ginning of  a  policy  of  territorial  expansion  certain  to  entail  upon  our  country  large  taxation  to  sus- 
tain strong  armies  and  navies  in  distant  lands  and  on  distant  seas,  and  as  constituting  a  menace  to 
peaceful  industry  by  exposing  our  country  to  foreign  wars. 

REPUBLICAN  CONVENTION. 

Ohio.  —We  believe  that  the  Administration  in  negotiating  the  treaty  for  the  annexation  of  Hawaii 
has  acted  wisely,  and  we  express  the  hope  that  the  Senate  will  ratify  the  same. 


THE  CIVIL  SERVICE. 

NATIONAL  DEMOCRATIC  CONVENTIONS. 

Iowa.-' We  insist  upon  the  continued  reform  in  the  civil  service— National,  State,  and  municipal— 
until  the  spoils  system  is  overthrown. 

Massachusetts.— We  demand  the  maintenance  of  the  present  system  of  competitive  examina- 
tion in  appointment  to  public  offices,  believing  that  system  to  be  most  democratic  which  makes  the 
holding  of  offices  dependent  upon  ability  and  merit  rather  than  on  partisan  favoritism.  We  demand 
the  extension  of  the  principle  of  civil  service  reform  to  all  post-offices,  to  the  consular  service,  and 
within  the  State  to  municipal  offices.    We  oppose  the  removal  of  public  servants,  except  for  cause. 

Ohio.— We  disapprove  the  hostile  action  of  the  Republican  party  of  Ohio  in  its  attack  on  civil 
service  reform,  and  we  express  our  thanks  to  President  McKinley  for  his  support  and  extension  of  the 
merit  system. 

REPUBLICAN  CONVENTIONS. 

Kentuclty.— We  are  opposed  to  a  system  of  civil  service  that  builds  up  an  official  class  with 
practically  a  life  tenure  in  almost  all  branches  of  the  public  service,  and  we  demand  that  the  civil 
service  law  be  modified  so  as  to  limit  the  terms  of  service  to  four  vears,  with  the  privilege  of  re- 
appointment or  promotion,  subject  to  such  restrictions  as  will  secure  competent  officials  and  to  every 
section  of  the  country  its  proper  proportion  of  them. 

Ohio.— We  denounce  the  violation  of  the  spirit  of  the  civil  service  act  by  President  Cleveland  in 
those  orders  which  extended  its  operation  beyond  its  purpose  and  intent,  and  demand  such  revocation 
of  orders  or  modification  of  the  law  as  will  accomplish  its  manifest  purpose. 

Pennsylvania.- With  an  earnest  desire  to  sustain  the  principles  of  the  law  and  secure  an  honest, 
economical,  and  efficient  administration  of  the  afiairs  of  the  Government,  we  demand  that  the  Presi- 
dent of  the  United  States,  by  executive  order,  and  Congress,  by  legislative  enactment  at  the  approach- 
ing session,  shall  establish  a  civil  service  system  that  shall  meet  the  approval  of  the  better  judgment 
and  common  sense  of  the  American  people. 


MISCELLANEOUS. 


Trusts.— The  Republican  party,  under  bondage  to  the  trusts,  has  become  the  political  agent  of 
millionaires,  and  taxes  all  the  people  for  the  benefit  of  these  syndicates,  enriching  the  Sugar  Trust 
alone  with  an  increased  market  value  of  fifteen  millions  of  dollars.  We  demand,  as  a  partial 
measure  of  instant  relief,  that  all  duties  by  which  trusts  are  fostered  shall  be  forthwith  abolished.  — 
Massachusetts  Democrats. 

We  hereby  declare  all  trusts  and  monopolies  hostile  and  dangerous  to  the  people's  interests  and 
a  standing  menace  to  the  perpetuity  of  our  free  institutions;  and  we  demand  the  vigorous  enforce- 
ment of  all  anti- trust  laws  and  such  additional  legislation  as  may  be  necessary  for  their  immediate 
and  final  suppression.  —Ohio  Democrats. 

Combinations,  trusts,  and  monopolies  in  conflict  with  individual  rights  and  hostile  to  the  develop- 
ment of  individual  and  natural  resource  should  be  suppressed.— Joica  National  Democrats. 

We  are  opposed  to  the  abusive  power  by  great  combinations  of  capital  in  the  destruction  of  com- 
petition, the  manipulation  of  prices,  and  the  corruption  of  Legislatures.  We  believe  that  such  combi- 
nations which  have  In  recent  years  monopolized  many  branches  of  the  production  and  transportation 
should  be  subject  to  rigid  State  and  Federal  supervision.  While  in  some  cases  they  may  have  improved 
the  methods  of  service  and  production,  the  fact  that  they  have  placed  themselves  beyond  the  control 
ofthelawof  business  competition  should  subject  them  to  the  control  of  statute  \&yva.— Massachusetts 
National  Democrats. 

The  power  of  taxation  and  the  power  of  regulating  foreign  commerce  is  furnished  to  the  Federal 
Congress  that  It  may  employ  means  of  restraining  the  great  trusts  that  break  up  small  industries  and 


iigerandizethemselvesby  illicit  combinations,  and  vre  favor  the  exercise  of  such,  powers  to  their  full 
extent,  to  the  end  that  these  monopolies  maybe  curbed.— ytr^mia  Democrats. 

The  Judiciary,— The  arrest  of  men  for  actsnot  forbidden  by  law  and  their  trial  and  conviction 
without  trial  by  jury  or  right  of  appeal  to  higher  tribunals  constitute  judicial  oppression  and  violate 
the  safeguards  of  the  Constitution  aud  the  Bill  of  Bights.  Judges  who  usurp  the  powers  of  the  Legis- 
lature and  of  the  Executive  unlawfully  invade  personal  liberty  and  forget  that  this  is  a  government 
of  law  s  and  not  of  men.  The  country  has  seen  with  indignation  the  logical  result  of  this  judicial  tyranny, 
when,  after  an  unequal  struggle  lasting  nine  weeks,  conducted  with  remarkable  self-control  and  long 
Buffering,  by  thousands  of  starving  miners,  appealing  iu  a  free  land  for  a  living  wage,  men  unarmed 
and  in  peaceable  procession  are  shot  down  on  the  public  highway.  Let  the  people  remember  this 
massacre  at  Lattimer  and  resolve  that  government,  by  injunction  shaU  not  Toe  tolerated  aud  that 
American  liberty  shall  not  "permh..— Massachusetts  Democrats. 

We  express  our  deep  sympathy  with  the  coal  miners  of  the  Eastern  and  Middle  States  In  their  law- 
ful and  peaceful  efforts  to  secure  living  wages.  The  business  derangement  and  individual  suffering 
arising  from  this  prolonged  contest  lend  weight  to  the  demand  for  the  enforcement  of  the  principle 
of  arbitration  in  such  cases.  While  success  has  attended  the  efforts  of  employers  to  both  co-operate 
among  themselves  and  to  enjoin  their  emploj^ds  from  doing  the  same  thing,  it  has  made  more  ex- 
tended the  well  nigh  universal  opposition  to  government  by  injunction,  and  we  view  with  great  alarm 
the  late  decision  of  Judge  JacKson,  of  the  Federal  Court,  in  enjoining  the  struggling  employes  of  the 
coal  barons  of  Pennsylvania  and  Ohio  from  walking  on  the  public  highways  and  peaceably  assem- 
bling to  discuss  their  wrongs  and  attempt  to  better  their  condition  as  the  outgrowth  of  the  universal 
abuse  of  the  writ  of  injunction  by  the  courts.  —Nebraska  Democrats. 

Our  judiciary  should  be  independent  of  politics,  and  we  condemn  the  attempt  of  the  Chicago  Con- 
vention to  make  it  a  tool  of  political  parties  to  register  the  decree  of  the  caucus.  The  judiciary  will  be 
the  most  fearless  and  independent  when  most  non-partisan,  and  we  therefore  request  the  State  Central 
Committee  to  confer  with  the  committees  of  other  parties  and  with  the  State  Bar  Association,  in  order 
to  devise  some  non-partisan  method  of  selection  and  election  of  our  judges,  and  to  report  at  our  next 
CSOnvention.  —Iowa  National  Democrats. 

The  publ  ic  order  is  the  basis  of  the  public  credit.  The  Democrats  of  Kentucky  who  have  renewed 
their  allegiance  to  the  credit  of  the  nation  as  proclaimed  by  the  Indianapolis  platform  take  this 
occasion  to  declare  their  devotion  to  the  public  order  in  the  nation  and  in  the  State.  —KentucJcy 
National  Democrats. 

We  oppose  all  attacks  on  the  integrity  of  the  United  States  Supreme  Court  and  all  efforts  to  make 
It  depenaentupon  party  success.  While  we  believe  that  the  power  of  injunction,  if  properly  used,  is 
beneficent,  we  demand,  however,  that  combinations  of  laborers,  formed  without  malicious  intent 
and  using  peaceable  methods,  shall  be  permitted  by  statute,  and  shall  not  be  restricted  by  injunc- 
tions. Combinations  of  any  class  of  persons,  however,  whether  of  laborers  or  of  capitalists,  which 
act  by  threats,  violence,  intimidation,  or  with  malicious  or  with  criminal  intent,  must  always  be  sup- 
pressed by  law  in  order  that  the  very  foundation  of  a  free  government  may  be  preserved.  —Massachu- 
setts  National  Democrats. 

Sympathy  for  Cuba.— The  sympathies  of  the  American  people  are  always  enlisted  in  behalf  of 
those  who  are  battiing  for  liberty  and  independence,  aud  the  heroic  struggle  of  the  people  of  Cuba  is  no 
exception  to  the  rule.  We  demand  that  the  American  Government,  whUe  observing  every  treaty 
obligation,  shall  take  such  proper  and  effective  action  as  will  ameliorate  the  atrocities  now  being  com- 
mitted, and  fully  protect  every  American  citizen  in  his  life  and  property.  —Maryland  Democrats. 

We  express  our  profound  sympathy  with  the  Cuban  patriots  battling  for  freedom,  and  believe  the 
time  has  come  when  the  United  States  should  recognize  that  Cuba  is,  and  of  right  ought  to  be,  a  free 
and  independent  SiIsXq.— Massachusetts  Democrats. 

We  demand  the  immediate  recognition  of  the  belligerent  rights  of  the  Bepublic  of  Cuba  as  an  act 
of  Justice  to  an  American  nation  struggling  for  liberty  against  foreign  oppression,  and  we  denounce 
and  protest  against  the  action  of  Senaior  Hanna  in  voting  to  nullify  the  memorial  presented  to  Con- 
gress unanimously  by  the  Legislature  of  Ohio  in  favor  of  the  Cuban  patriots.— 0/i("o  Democrats. 

We  renew  the  expression  of  sympathy  with  the  people  of  Cuba  made  in  the  last  National  platform 
of  the  Democratic  party,  and  we  cite  the  delay  of  the  Bepublican  Administration  in  effecting  any 
settlement  of  the  affairs  of  that  unhappy  island  as  equivalent  to  a  declaration  that  not  only  our  domes- 
tic finances  but  our  foreign  policy  also  shall  be  dictated  by  the  leading  conunercial  nations  of  the 
world.  —Nebraska  Democrats. 

We  heartUy  sympathize  with  the  struggling  people  of  Cuba  iu  their  efforts  to  secure  liberty  and  tu- 
dependence.  —Kentucky  Bepublicans. 

The  Bepublican  party  has  always  been  the  friend  of  the  down-trodden  and  oppressed,  and  has 
always  deeply  sympathized  with  the  struggle  of  any  people  for  iudepeudeuce.  We  extend  our  sym- 
pathy to  the  patriots  of  Cuba  in  their  efforts  to  achieve  freedom  from  Spanish  cruelty  and  oppression, 
and  hope  that  the  day  of  their  deliverance  is  near  at  hand.  We  commend  the  course  of  the  President, 
and  express  our  confidence  in  his  sueedyaud  patriotic  disposition  of  the  Cuban  question,  in  accord- 
ance with  wise  statesmanship  and  a  firm  and  vigorous  foreign  policy.  —Ohio  Bepublicans. 

Labor,— The  Democratic  party  has  always  been  and  is  still  the  friend  and  protector  of  the  labor- 
ing man,  whether  in  the  field,  the  mine,  or  the  workshop,  and  we  recommend  the  passai^e  of  such  laws 
as  will  prevent  any  competition  of  the  products  ol  convict  labor  against  the  products  of  tree  and  honest 
labor.  —Kentucky  Democrats. 

We  favor  the  passage  by  Congress  of  such  a  law  as  will  provide  a  National  Board  of  Arbitration  to 
secure,  so  far  as  possible,  the  adjustment  and  settlement  of  such  differences  as  may  arise  between 
corporations  engaged  in  interstate  commerce  and  their  employes.  —Ohio  Bepublicans. 

Immigration,— They  would  secure  a  safe  and  high  citizenship,  and  they  therefore  urge  that 
the  laws  of  naturalization  aud  immigration  be  so  improved  that  our  gates  shall  be  promptly  and 
tightly  closed  against  all  who  are  too  ignorant  to  understand  or  too  vicious  to  appreciate  our  institu- 
tions and  laws.  —Massachusetts  Bepublicans. 

Ex-President  Cleveland's  Administration.- The  honesty,  economy,  courage,  fidelity, 
and  wisdom  of  the  Administration  of  G rover  Cleveland  command  not  only  our  approval  but  our  im- 
qualifled  admiration. —7oiya  Natio7ial  Democrats. 

The  Democrats  of  Kentucky  renew  their  allegiance  to  the  principles  of  the  Democracy  as  ex- 
emplified by  the  Administration  of  Grover  Cleveland,  and  as  illustrated  by  his  eminent  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury,  John  G.  Carlisle,  and  pledge  themselves  to  continued  and  unceasing  efforts  to  embody 
and  substantiate  them  in  the  National  policy.  —Kentucky  National  Democrats. 

Income  Tax.— We  favor  an  income  tax  for  the  support  of  the  Federal  Gk)vemment,  that  in^ 
duBtry  may  be  the  less  burdened,  and  that  wealth  may  bear  its  proper  share  of  the  general  public  bui> 
dens,  and,  if  necessary,  we  favor  a  constitutional  amendment  providing  that  such  tax  may  6e  levied.—

ON  THE  QUESTIONS  OF  THE   CURKENCY,  THE  TARIFF,  AND  THE   INDEPENDENCE 

OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT. 

FROM   THE  PLATFORM   OF  THE   NATIONAL   DEMOCRATIC    PARTY.    ADOPTED 

AT  INDIANAPOLIS    SEPTEMBER  3. 

The  Currency.— The  experience  of  mankind  has  shown  that  by  reason  of  their  natural  qualities, 
gold  is  the  necessary  money  of  the  large  affairs  of  commerce  and  business,  while  silver  is  conveniently 
adapted  to  minor  transactions,  and  the  most  beneficial  use  of  both  together  can  be  insured  on  it  by 
the  adoption  of  the  former  as  a  standard  of  monetary  measure,  and  the  maintenance  of  silver  at  a 
parity  with  gold  by  its  limited  coinage  under  suitable  safeguards  of  law. 

Thus  the  largest  possible  enjoyment  of  both  metals  is  gained  with  a  value  universally  accepted 
throughout  the  world,  which  constitutes  the  only  practical  bimetallic  currency,  assuring  the  most 
stable  standard,  and  especially  the  best  and  safest  money  for  all  who  earn  their  livelihood  by  labor  or 
the  produce  of  husbandry.  They  cannot  suffer  when  paid  in  the  best  monev  known  to  man,  but  are 
the  peculiar  and  most  defenceless  victims  of  a  debased  and  fluctuating  currency,  which  oners  con- 
tinual profits  to  the  money  changer  at  their  cost. 

Realizing  the  truths  demonstrated  by  long  and  public  inconvenience  and  loss,  the  Democratic 
party,  in  the  interest  of  the  masses  and  of  equal  justice  to  all,  practically  established  by  the  legislation 
of  1834  and  1853  the  gold  standard  of  monetary  measurement  and  likewise  entirely  divorced  the 
Government  from  banking  and  currency  issues. 

Gold  Must  Be  the  Staudard.— To  this  long-established  Democratic  policy  we  adhere,  and 
insist  upon  the  maintenance  of  the  gold  standard  and  of  the  parity  therewith  of  every  dollar  issued  by  the 
Government,  and  are  firmly  opposed  to  the  free  and  unlimited  coinage  of  silver  and  to  the  com- 
pulsory purchase  of  silver  bullion. 

Government  Must  Cease  the  Banking  Business.— But  we  denounce  also  the  further 
maintenance  of  the  present  patchwork  system  of  National  paper  currency  as  a  constant  source  of 
injury  and  periL  We  assert  the  necessity  of  such  intelligent  currency  reform  as  will  confine  the 
Government  to  its  legitimate  functions,  completely  separated  from  the  banking  business,  and  afford 
toallsectionsof  our  country  a  uniform,  safe,  and  elastic  bank  currency  under  governmental  super- 
vision, measured  in  volume  by  the  neeris  of  business. 

The  Tariff  Issue.— The  National  Democracy  here  convened  therefore  renews  its  declaration 
of  faith  in  Democratic  principles,  especially  as  applicable  to  the  conditions  of  the  times.  Taxation, 
tariff,  excise  or  direct,  is  rightfully  imposed  only  for  public  pui-poses  and  not  for  private  gain.  Its 
amountis  justly  measured  by  public  expenditures,  which  should  be  limited  by  scrupulous  economy. 
The  sum  derived  by  the  Treasury  from  tariff  and  excise  levies  is  affected  by  the  state  of  trade  and 
volume  of  consumption.  The  amount  required  by  the  Treasury  is  determined  by  the  appropriations 
made  by  Congress. 

The  demand  of  the  Republican  party  for  an  increase  in  tariff  taxation  has  its  pretext  in  the 
deficiency  of  revenue,  which  has  its  causes  in  the  stagnation  of  trade  and  reduced  consumption,  due 
entirely  to  the  loss  of  confidence  that  has  followed  the  Populist  threat  of  free  coinage  and  depreci- 
ation of  our  money  and  the  Republican  practice  of  extravagant  appropriations  beyond  the  needs  of 
food  government.  We  arraign  and  condemn  the  Populistic  Conventions  of  Chicago  and  St.  Louis  for 
heir  cooperation  with  the  Republican  party  in  creating  these  conditions  which  are  pleaded  in  justi- 
fication of  a  heavy  increase  of  the  burdens  of  the  people  by  a  further  resort  to  protection. 

Integrity  of  the  Supreme  Court.— The  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  was  wisely 
established  by  the  framers  of  our  Constitution  as  one  of  the  three  coordinate  branches  of  the  Gov- 
ernment. Its  independence  and  authority  to  interpret  the  law  of  .the  land  without  fear  or  favor 
must  be  maintained. 

We  condemn  all  efforts  to  degrade  that  tribunal  or  impair  the  confidence  and  respect  which  It  has 
deservedly  held. 

The  3Iainteaance  of  Public  Order.— The  Democratic  party  ever  has  naaintained,  and  ever 
will  maintain,  the  supremacy  of  law,  the  independence  of  its  judicial  administration,  the  inviolability 
of  contract  and  the  obligations  of  all  good  citizens  to  resist  every  illegal  trust,  combination,  or  attempt 
against  the  just  rights  of  property  and  the  good  order  of  society,  in  which  are  bound  up  the  peace  and 
happiness  of  our  people. 

FROM  THE  PLATFORM  OF  THE  DEMOCRATIC  PARTY.    ADOPTED  AT  CHICAGO, 

JULY   9. 

The  Money  Question.— Recognizing  that  the  money  question  is  paramount  to  all  others  at  this 
time,  we  invite  attention  lo  thefactthat  the  Constitution  names  silver  and  gold  together  as  the  money 
metals  of  the  United  States,  and  that  the  first  coinage  law  passed  by  Congress  under  the  Constitution 
made  the  silver  dollar  the  money  unit  of  value  and  admitted  gold  to  free  coinage  at  a  ratio  based 
upon  the  silver  dollar  unit. 

Demonetization  Act  of  1 873  Condemned.— We  declare  that  the  Act  of  1873  demonetizing 
silver  without  the  knowledge  or  approval  of  the  American  people  has  resulted  in  the  appreciation  of 
gold  and  a  corresponding  fall  in  the  prices  of  commodities  produced  by  the  people;  a  heavy  increase 
in  the  burden  of  taxation  and  of  all  debts,  public  and  private;  the  enrichment  of  the  money-lending 
class  at  home  and  abroad ;  the  prostration  of  industry  and  impoverishment  of  the  people. 

Opposed  to  Gold  Monometallism.— We  are  unalterably  opposed  to  monometallism  which  ha.s 
locked  fast  the  prosperity  of  an  industrial  people  in  the  paralysis  of  hard  times.  Gold  monometallism 
is  a  Britisb  policy,  and  its  adoption  has  brought  other  nations  into  financial  servitude  to  London. 
It  is  not  only  un-American,  but  anti- American,  and  it  can  be  fastened  on  the  United  States  only  by 
the  stifling  of  that  indomitable  spirit  and  love  of  liberty  which  proclaimed  our  political  independence 
in  1776  and  won  it  n  the  War  of  the  Revolution. 

Free  Silver  Coinage.— We  demand  the  free  and  unlimited  coinage  of  both  silver  and  gold  at 
the  present  legal  ratio  of  16  to  1  without  waiting  for  the  aid  or  consent  of  any  other  nation.  We  de- 
mand that  the  standard  silver  dollar  shall  be  a  full  legal  tender  equally  with  gold  for  all  debts,  public 
and  private,  and  we  favor  such  legislation  as  will  prevent  for  the  future  the  demonetization  of  any 
kind  of  legal  tender  money  by  private  contract. 

We  are  opposed  to  the  policy  and  practice  of  surrendering  to  the  holders  of  the  obligations  of  the 
United  States  the  option  reserved  by  law  to  the  Government  of  redeeming  such  obligations  in  either 
silver  coin  or  gold  coin. 

National  Bank  Currency  Opposed.— Congress  alone  has  the  power  to  coin  and  issue  money, 
and  President  Jackson  declared  that  this  power  could  not  be  delegated  to  corporations  or  individuals. 


We  therefore  denounce  the  issuance  of  notes  intended  to  circulate  as  money  by  National  banks  as  In 
derogation  of  the  Constitution,  and  we  demand  that  all  paper  which  is  made  a  legal  tender  for  public 
and  private  debts,  or  which  is  receivable  for  duties  to  the  United  States,  shall  be  issued  by  the  Govern- 
ment of  the  United  States,  and  shall  be  redeemable  in  coin. 

The  Tariff.— We  hold  that  tariff  duties  should  be  levied  for  purposes  of  revenue,  such  duties  to 
be  so  adjusted  as  to  operate  equally  throughout  the  country  and  not  discriminate  between  class  or 
section,  and  that  taxation  should  be  limited  by  the  needs  of  the  Government,  honestly  and  economi- 
rally  administered.  We  denounce  as  disturbmg  to  business  the  Republican  threat  to  restore  the  Mc- 
Kinley  law,  which  has  twice  been  condemned  by  the  people  in  National  elections,  and  which,  enacted 
under  the  false  plea  of  protection  to  home  industry,  proved  a  prolific  breeder  of  trusts  and  monopo- 
lies, enriched  the  few  at  the  expense  of  the  many,  restricted  trade,  and  deprived  the  producers  of  the 
great  American  staples  of  access  to  their  natural  markets. 

The  Supreme  Court  Criticised.— Until  the  money  question  is  settled  we  are  opposed  to  any 
agitation  for  further  changes  in  our  tariff  laws,  except  such  as  are  necessary  to  meet  the  deficit  In 
revenue  caused  by  the  adverse  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  on  the  income  tax.  But  for  this  de- 
cision by  the  Supreme  Court,  there  would  be  no  deficit  in  the  revenue  under  the  law  passed  by  a 
Democratic  Congress  in  strict  pursuance  of  the  uniform  decisions  of  that  court  for  nearly  100  years, 
that  court  having  in  that  decision  sustained  constitutional  objections  to  its  enactment  which  had  pre- 
viously been  overruled  by  the  ablest  judges  who  have  ever  sat  on  that  bench.  We  declare  that  it  is 
the  duty  of  Congress  to  use  all  the  constitutional  power  which  remains  after  that  decision,  or  which 
may  come  from  its  reversal  by  the  court  as  it  may  hereafter  be  constituted,  so  that  the  burdens  of 
taxation  may  be  equally  and  impartially  laid,  to  the  end  that  wealth  may  bear  its  due  proportion  of 
the  expenses  of  the  Government. 

Federal  Intervention  in  liOcal  Affairs.— We  denounce  arbitrary  interference  by  Federal 
authorities  in  local  affairs  as  a  violation  of  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States,  and  a  crime  against 
free  institutions,  and  we  especially  object  to  government  by  injunction  as  a  new  and  highly  dangerous 
form  of  oppression  by  which  Federal  judges,  in  contempt  of  the  laws  of  the  States  and  rights  of 
citizens,  become  at  once  legislators,  judges,  and  executioners,  and  we  approve  the  bill  passed  at  the 
last  session  of  the  United  States  Senate,  and  now  pending  in  the  House  of  Representatives,  relative  to 
contempts  in  Federal  Courts  and  providing  for  trials  by  jury  in  certain  cases  of  contempt. 

FROM  THE  PLATFORM  OF  THE  REPUBLICAN  PARTY.   ADOPTED  AT  ST.  LOUIS, 

JUNE    18. 

The  Currency  Question.  —The  Republican  party  is  unreservedly  for  sound  money.  It  caused 
the  enactment  of  the  law  providing  for  the  resumption  of  specie  payments  in  1879;  since  then  every 
dollar  has  been  as  good  as  gold.  We  are  unalterably  opposed  to  every  measure  calculated  to  debase 
our  currency  or  impair  the  credit  of  our  country.  We  are  therefore  opposed  to  the  free  coinage  of 
silver  except  by  international  agreement  with  the  leading  commercial  nations  of  the  world,  which 
we  pledge  ourselves  to  promote,  and  until  such  agreement  can  be  obtained  the  existing  gold  standard 
must  be  preserved.  All  our  silver  and  paper  currency  must  be  maintained  at  parity  with  gold,  and  we 
favor  all  measures  designed  to  maintain  inviolably  the  obligations  of  the  United  States,  and  all  our 
money,  whether  coin  or  paper,  at  the  present  standard,  the  standard  of  the  most  enlightened  nations 
of  the  earth. 

The  Tariff.— We  renew  and  emphasize  our  allegiance  to  the  policy  of  protection  as  the  bulwark 
of  American  industrial  independence  and  the  foundation  of  American  development  and  prosperity. 
This  true  American  policy  taxes  foreign  products  and  encourages  home  industry;  it  puts  the  burden 
of  revenue  on  foreign  goods;  it  secures  the  American  market  for  the  American  producer;  it  upholds 
the  American  standard  of  wages  for  the  American  workingman ;  it  puts  the  factory  by  the  side  of  the 
farm  and  makes  the  American  farmer  less  dependent  on  foreign  demand  and  price ;  it  diffuses  general 
thrift  and  founds  the  strength  of  all  on  the  strength  of  each.  In  its  reasonable  application  it  is  just, 
fair,  and  impartial,  equally  opposed  to  foreign  control  and  domestic  monopoly,  to  sectional  discrimi- 
nation, and  individual  favoritism. 

We  denounce  the  present  Democratic  tariff  as  sectional,  injurious  to  the  public  credit,  and  destruc- 
tive to  business  enterprise.  We  demand  such  an  equitable  tariff  on  foreign  imports  which  come  into 
competition  with  American  products  as  will  not  only  furnish  adequate  revenue  for  the  necessary  ex- 
penses of  the  Government,  but  will  protect  American  labor  from  degradation  to  the  wage  level  of 
other  lands.  We  are  not  pledged  to  any  particular  schedules.  The  question  of  rates  is  a  practical 
question,  to  be  governed  by  the  conditions  of  the  time  and  of  production ;  the  ruling  and  uncomprom- 
ising principle  is  the  protection  and  development  of  American  labor  and  industry.  The  country 
demands  a  right  settlement,  and  then  it  wants  rest. 

FROM  THE  PLATFORM  OF  THE  PEOPLE'S  PARTY.  ADOPTED  AT  ST.  LOUIS, 

JULY  24. 
The  Finances.— 1.  We  demand  a  National  money,  safe  and  sound,  issued  by  the  General  Gov- 
ernment only,  without  the  intervention  of  banks  of  issue,  to  be  a  full  legal  tender  for  all  debts,  pub- 
lic and  private;    a  just,  equitable,  and  efficient  means  of  distribution,   direct  to  the  people,  and 
through  the  lawful  disbursenaents  of  the  Government. 

2.  We  demand  the  free  and  unrestricted  coinage  of  silver  and  gold  at  the  present  legal  ratio  of 
16  to  1,  without  waiting  for  the  consent  of  foreign  nations. 

3.  We  demand  that  the  volume  of  circulating  medium  be  speedily  increased  to  an  amount  suffi- 
cient to  meet  the  demands  of  the  business  and  population,  and  to  restore  the  just  level  of  prices  of 
labor  and  production. 

4.  We  denounce  the  sale  of  bonds  and  the  increase  of  the  public  interest-bearing  debt  made  by  the 
present  Administration  as  unnecessary  and  without  authority  of  law,  and  demand  that  no  more 
bonds  be  issued,  except  by  specific  act  of  Congress. 

5.  We  demand  such  legislation  as  will  prevent  the  demonetization  of  the  lawful  money  of  the 
United  States  by  private  contract. 

6.  We  demand  that  the  Government,  in  payment  of  its  obligations,  shall  use  its  option  as  to  the 
kind  of  lawful  money  in  which  they  are  to  be  paid,  and  we  denounce  the  present  and  preceding 
Administrations  for  surrendering  this  option  to  the  holders  of  Government  obligations. 

7.  We  demand  a  graduated  income  tax,  to  the  end  that  aggregated  wealth  shall  bear  its  just  pro- 
portion of  taxation,  and  we  regard  the  recent  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  relative  to  the  income 
tax  law  as  a  misinterpretation  of  the  Constitution  and  an  invasion  of  the  rightful  powers  of  Congress 
over  the  subject  of  taxation. 

Arbitrary  Judicial  Action.— The  arbitrary  course  of  the  courts  in  assuming  to  imprison  citi- 
zens for  indirect  contempt  and  ruling  by  injunction  should  be  prevented  by  proper  legislation.

ACTION    OF    THE    INDIANAPOLIS    CONFERENCE    OF    REPRESENTATIVES    OF    COM- 
MERCIAL BODIES— THE  COMMISSION  APPOINTED  TO  DEVISE  A  PLAN  OF 
FINANCIAL  REFORM  FOR  THE  UNITED  STATES  GOVERNMENT. 

A  CONFERENCE  of  representatives  of  Chambers  of  Commerce,  Boards  of  Trade,  and  other  com- 
mercial bodies  in  the  United  States  was  held  at  Indianapolis  in  January,  1897.  About  three  hun- 
dred delegates  were  present.  On  January  13  the  following  report  from  the  Committee  on  Resolutions 
was  presented,  and  was  adopted  almost  unanimously: 

This  conference  declares  that  it  has  become  absolutely  necessary  that  a  consistent,  straightfor- 
ward, and  deliberately  planned  monetary  system  shall  be  inaugurated,  the  fundamental  basis  of 
which  should  be: 

First— Tha<^  the  present  gold  standard  should  be  maintained. 

Second— That  steps  should  be  taken  to  insure  the  ultimate  retirement  of  all  classes  of  United 
Stater  note  by  a  gradual  and  steady  process,  so  as  to  avoid  injurious  contraction  of  the  currency  or 
disturbance  o*  the  business  interests  of  the  country,  and  that  in  such  retirement  provision  be  niade 
for  a  separation  of  the  revenue  and  note-issue  departments  of  the  Treasury. 

Third— That  a  banking  system  be  provided  which  should  furnish  credit  facilities  to  every  portion 
of  the  countr>  and  a  safe  and  elastic  circulation,  and  especially  with  a  view  to  securing  such  a  dis- 
tribution of  the  loanable  capital  of  the  country  as  will  tend  to  equalize  the  ratesof  interest  in  all  parts 
thereof.    For  the  purpose  of  eflFectively  promoting  the  above  objects: 

Resolved,  That  fifteen  members  of  this  conference  be  appointed  by  the  Chairman  to  act  as  an  Ex-

The  Executive  Committee  shall  have  special  charge  of  the  solicitation,  receipt,  and  disbursement 
of  contributions  voluntarily  made  for  all  purposes;  shall  have  power  to  call  this  convention  together 
again  when  and  where  it  may  seem  best  to  said  committee  to  do  so,  and  said  committee  shall  continue

the  appointment  of  a  monetary  commission  by  the  President  to  consider  the  entire  question  and  to 
report  to  Congress  at  the  earliest  day  possible,  or  failing  to  secure  the  above  legislation,  they  are 
hereby  authorized  and  empowered  to  select  a  commission  of  eleven  members  according  to  rules  and 
plans  set  forth  in  the  suggestions  submitted  to  the  convention  by  Mr.  Hanna,  of  Indianapolis,  as  fol-

propriate suggestions  as  to  any  evils  found  to  exist,  and  the  remedies  therefor,  and  no  limit  is  placed 
upon  the  scope  of  such  inquiry  or  the  manner  of  conducting  the  same,  excepting  only  that  the  ex-

A  jfEETTOro  of  financiers  and  other  business  men  was  held  at  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  New  York 
City,  February  5,  1897,  in  response  to  the  following  call: 

The  result  of  the  Presidential  election  has  demonstrated  the  fact  that,  while  a  large  majority  of 
the  American  people  are  in  favor  of  the  maintenance  of  the  gold  standard,  an  unexpectedly  heavy 
mlnoi'lty  indorsed  by  their  votes  the  dangerous  doctrines  of  the  Chicago  platform.  This  fact  renders 
It  necessary,  in  our  judgment,  that  the  united  efforts  of  patriotic  men  of  all  parties  for  National  honor 
and  sound  mone>  should  be  continued,  and  we  are  of  the  opinion  that  this  can  be  most  eflectively  done 
through  a  National  organization  covering  the  whole  country. 

We  are,  therefore,  in  favor  of  the  immediate  formation  of  a  non-partisan  association,  to  be  named 
the  "National  Sound  Money  League,"  with  a  Central  Executive  Committee,  and  auxiliary  organiza- 
tions in  all  the  States. 

The  League  was  organized  with  the  following  oiHcers: 

JPresideru—Oeorge  E.  Leighton,  St.  Louis.  Treasurer— A..  B.  Hepburn,  Vice-President  National  City 
Bank,  New  York.  Associate  Treasurei — C.  L.  Hutchinson,  President  Corn  Exchange  Bank,  Chicago. 
General  Secretary— Et.  V.  Smalley,  St.  PauL  Chairman  of  the  Executive  CommiUee—QuBtSiY  H.  Schwab, 
New  York.  ^ 

The  headquarters  of  the  Leagrue  are  at  Chicago,  and  E.  V.  Smalley,  the  General  Secretarv,  Is  In 
charge  there.  The  activity  of  the  League  has  so  far  consisted  in  the  publication  of  a  monthly  journal 
termed  The  Soimd  Money  Bulletin,  which  is  sent  to  newspapers  and  individuals.  The  League  has  also 
tmdertaken  the  publication  of  several  pamphlets  on  the  money  question. 


Th^e  following  has  been  adopted  as  the  oflQlcial  statement  of  the  single  tax  principle  by  the  advocates 
thereof,  written  by  Heury  George: 

Weassertas  our  fundamental  principle  the  self-evident  truth  enunciated  in  the  Declaration  of  Amer- 
ican Independence,  that  all  men  are  created  equal  and  are  endowed  by  their  Creator  with  certain  in- 
alienable rights. 

We  hold  that  all  men  are  equally  entitled  to  the  use  and  enjojnnent  of  what  God  ha.s  created  and  of 
what  is  gained  by  the  general  growth  and  improvement  of  the  community  of  which  they  are  a  part. 
Therefore,  no  one  should  be  permitted  to  hold  natural  opportunities  without  a  fair  return  to  all  for  any 
special  privilege  thus  accorded  to  him,  and  that  that  value  which  the  growth  and  improvement  of  the 
community  attaches  to  laud  should  be  taken  for  the  use  of  the  community  ;  that  eacn  is  entitled  to  all 
tJiat  his  labor  produces  ;  therefore,  no  tax  should  be  levied  on  the  products  of  labor. 

To  carry  out  these  principles,  we  are  in  favor  of  raising  all  public  revenues  for  National,  State, 
county,  and  municipal  purposes  by  a  single  tax  upon  land  values,  irrespective  of  improvements,  and 
all  the  obligations  of  all  forms  of  direct  and  indirect  taxation. 

Since  in  all  our  States  we  now  levy  some  tax  on  the  value  of  land,  the  single  tax  can  be  instituted 
by  the  simple  and  easy  way  of  abolishing,  one  after  another,  all  other  taxes  now  levied  and  commen- 
surately  increasing  the  tax  on  land  values  until  we  draw  upon  that  one  source  for  all  expenses  of  gov- 
ernment, the  revenue  being  divided  between  local  governments.  State  government,  and  the  general 
government,  as  the  revenue  from  direct  tax  is  now  divided  between  the  local  and  State  governments, 
or  by  a  direct  assessment  being  made  by  the  general  government  upon  the  States  and  paid  by  them 
from  revenues  collected  in  this  manner. 

The  single  tax  we  propose  is  not  a  tax  on  land,  and  therefore  woidd  not  fall  on  the  use  of  land  and 
become  a  tax  on  labor. 

It  is  a  tax  not  on  land,  but  on  the  value  of  land.  Then  it  would  not  fall  on  all  land,  but  only  on 
valuable  land,  and  on  that  not  in  proportion  to  the  use  made  of  it^  but  in  proportion  to  its  value— the 
premium  which  the  user  of  land  must  pay  to  the  owner,  either  m  purchase  money  or  rent,  for  per- 
mission to  use  valuable  laud.  It  would  thus  be  a  tax  not  on  the  use  and  improvement  of  land,  but 
on  the  ownership  of  land,  taking  what  would  otherwise  go  to  the  owner  as  owner,  and  not  as  user. 

In  assessments  under  the  single  tax  all  values  created  by  individual  use  or  improvement  would  be 
excluded,  and  the  only  value  taken  into  consideration  would  be  the  value  attaching  to  the  bare  land 
by  reason  of  neighborhood,  etc. ,  to  be  determined  by  impartial  periodical  assessments.  Thus  the 
farmer  would  have  no  more  taxes  to  pay  than  the  speculator  who  held  a  similar  piece  of  land  idle,  and 
the  man  who,  on  a  city  lot,  erected  a  valuable  building  would  be  taxed  no  more  than  the  man  who 
held  a  similar  lot  vacant. 

The  single  tax,  in  short,  would  call  upon  men  to  contribute  to  the  public  revenues  not  in  propor- 
tion to  what  they  produce  or  accumulate,  but  in  proportion  to  the  value  of  the  natural  opportunities 
they  hold.  It  would  compel  them  to  pay  just  as  much  for  holding  land  idle  as  for  putting  it  to  its 
fullest  use. 

The  single  tax,  therefore,  would 

1st.  Take  the  weight  of  taxation  off  the  agricnltural  districts,  where  land  has  little  or  no  value  irrespective  of  improvements,  and 
pat  it  on  tow-ns  and  cities,  where  bare  land  rises  to  a  value  of  millions  of  dollars  per  acre. 

2d.  Dispense  with  a  multiplicity  of  taxes  and  a  horde  of  tax-gatherers,  simplify  government,  and  greatly  redace  its  cost. 

3d.  Do  away  with  the  fraud,  corruption,  and  gross  inequality  inseparable  from  our  present  methods  of  taxation,  which  allow  the 
rich  to  escape  while  they  grind  the  poor.  Land  cannot  be  hid  or  carried  off,  and  its  value  can  be  ascertained  with  greater  ease  and 
certainty  than  any  other. 

4th.  Give  us  with  all  the  world  as  perfect  freedom  of  trade  as  now  exists  between  the  States  of  the  Union,  thus  enabling  our 
people  to  share  through  free  exchanges  in  all  the  advantages  which  nature  has  given  to  other  countries,  or  which  the  peculiar  skill  of 
other  peoples  has  enabled  them  to  attain.  It  would  destroy  the  trusts,  monopolies,  and  corruptions  which  are  the  outgrowths  of  the 
tariff.  It  would  do  away  with  the  fines  and  penalties  now  levied  on  any  one  who  improves  a  farm,  erects  a  house,  builds  a  machine, 
or  in  any  way  adds  to  the  general  stock  of  wealth.  It  would  leave  every  one  free  to  apply  labor  or  expend  capital  in  production  or 
exchange  witnout  fine  or  restriction,  and  would  leave  to  each  the  full  product  of  his  exertion. 

Bth.  It  would,  on  the  other  hand,  by  taking  for  public  use  that  value  which  attaches  to  land  by  resison  of  the  growth  and  im- 
provement of  the  community,  make  the  holding  of  land  unprofitable  to  the  mere  owner  and  profitable  only  to  the  user.  It  would  thus 
make  it  impossible  for  speculators  and  monopolists  to  hold  natural  opportunities  unused  or  only  half  used,  and  would  throw  open  to 
labor  the  illimitable  field  of  employment  which  the  earth  offers  to  man.  It  would  thus  solve  the  labor  problem,  do  away  with  invol- 
untary poverty,  raise  wages  in  all  occupations  to  the  full  earnings  of  labor,  make  overproduction  impossible  until  all  human  wants  are 
satisfied,  render  labor-saving  inventions  a  blessing  to  all,  and  cause  such  an  enormous  production  and  such  an  equitable  distribution  of 
wealth  as  would  give  to  all  comfort,  leisure,  and  participation  in  the  advantages  of  an  advancing  civilization.  In  securing  to  each 
lndi%idual  equal  right  to  the  use  of  the  earth.  It  is  also  a  proper  function  of  society  to  maintain  and  control  all  public  ways  for  the 
transportation  of  persons  and  property,  and  the  transmission  of  intelligence;  and  also  to  maintain  and  control  ail  public  ways  in 
cities  for  furnishing  water,  gas,  and  all  other  things  that  necessarily  require  the  use  of  such  common  ways.

The  treaty  between  the  United  States  and  the  Republic  of  Hawaii,  providing  for  the  political  ab- 
sorption of  the  latter  by  the  former,  was  sent  to  the  United  States  Senate  by  President  McKinley, 
accompanied  by  a  message  recoromending  its  ratification,  June  16, 1897.  The  text  of  the  treaty 
follows: 

The  United  States  of  America  and  the  Republic  of  Hawaii,  in  view  of  the  natural  dependence  of 
the  Hawaiian  Islands  upon  the  United  States,  of  their  geographical  proximity  thereto,  of  the  pre- 
ponderant share  acquired  by  the  United  States  and  its  citizens  in  the  industries  and  trade  of  said 
islands,  and  of  the  expressed  desire  of  the  Government  of  the  Republic  of  Hawaii  that  those  islands 
should  he  incorporated  into  the  United  States  as  an  integral  part  thereof,  and  under  its  sovereignty, 
have  determined  to  accomplish  by  treaty  an  object  so  important  to  their  mutual  and  permanent  wel- 
fare. 

To  this  end  the  high  contracting  parties  have  conferred  full  powers  and  authority  upon  their 
respectively  appointed  plenipotentiaries,  to  wit: 

The  President  of  the  United  States,  John  Sherman,  Secretary  of  State  of  the  United  States;  the 
President  of  the  Republic  of  Hawaii,  Francis  March  Hatch,  Lorin  A.  Thurston,  and  WUliam  A. 
Kinney. 

Aeticle  I.  —The  Republic  of  Hawaii  hereby  cedes  absolutely  and  without  reserve  to  the  United 
States  of  America  all  rights  of  sovereignity  of  whatsoever  kind  in  and  over  the  Hawaiian  Islands  and 
their  dependencies ;  and  it  is  agreed  that  all  the  territory  of  and  appertaining  to  the  Republic  of 
Hawaii  is  hereby  annexed  to  the  United  States  of  America  under  the  name  of  the  Territory  of  Hawaii. 

Aeticlb  II.  —The  Republic  of  Hawaii  also  cedes  and  hereby  transfers  to  the  United  States  the 
absolute  fee  and  ownership  of  all  public.  Government,  or  crown  lands,  public  buildings  or  edifices, 
ports,  harbors,  military  equipments,  and  all  other  public  property  of  every  kind  and  description  be- 
longing to  the  Government  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  together  with  every  right  and  appurtenance 
thereunto  appertaining. 

The  existing  laws  of  the  United  States  relative  to  public  lands  shall  not  apply  to  such  lands  in 
the  Hawaiian  Islands,  but  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  shall  enact  special  laws  for  their  man- 
agement and  disposition ;  provided,  that  all  revenue  from  or  proceeds  of  the  same,  except  as  regards 
such  part  thereof  as  may  be  used  or  occupied  for  the  civU,  military,  or  naval  purposes  of  the  United 
States,  or  may  be  assigned  for  the  use  of  the  local  government,  shall  be  used  solely  for  the  benefit  of 
the  inhabitants  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  for  educational  and  other  public  purposes. 

Abticle  III. —Until  Congress  shall  provide  for  the  government  of  such  islands,  all  the  civil,  Ju- 
dicial, and  military  powers  exercised  by  the  officers  of  the  existing  Government  in  said  islands  shall 
be  vested  in  such  person  or  persons,  and  shall  be  exercised  in  such  manner  as  the  President  of  the 
United  States  shall  direct,  and  the  President  shall  have  power  to  remove  said  officers  and  fill  the 
vacancies  so  occasioned. 

The  existing  treaties  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands  with  foreign  nations  shall  forthwith  cease  and  deter- 
mine, being  replaced  by  such  treaties  as  may  exist  or  as  may  be  hereafter  concluded  between  the 
United  States  and  such  foreign  nations.  The  municipal  legislation  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  not  en- 
acted for  the  fulfilment  of  the  treaties  so  extinguished,  and  not  inconsistent  with  this  treaty  nor  con- 
trary to  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  nor  to  any  existing  treaty  of  the  United  States,  shall 
remain  in  force  until  the  Congress  of  the  United  States  shall  otherwise  determine. 

Until  legislation  shall  be  enacted  extending  the  United  States  customs  laws  and  regulations  to  the 
Hawaiian  Islands,  the  existing  customs  relations  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands  with  the  United  States  and 
other  countries  shall  remain  unchanged. 

Article  IV.  —The  public  debt  of  the  Republic  of  Hawaii,  lawfully  existing  at  the  date  of  the 
exchange  of  the  ratifications  of  this  treaty,  including  the  amounts  due  to  depositors  in  the  Hawaiian 
Postal  Savings  Bank,  is  hereby  assumed  by  the  Government  of  the  United  States,  but  the  liability  of 
the  United  States  in  this  regard  shall  in  no  case  exceed  $4, 000, 000.  So  long,  however,  as  the  existing 
Government  and  the  present  commercial  relations  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands  are  continued  as  herein- 
before provided,  said  Government  shall  continue  to  pay  the  interest  on  said  debt. 

Article  V.  —There  shall  be  no  further  immigration  of  Chinese  into  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  except 
upon  such  conditions  as  are  now  or  may  hereafter  be  allQwed  by  the  laws  of  the  United  States,  and  no 
Chinese  by  reason  of  anything  herein  contained  shall  be  allowed  to  enter  the  United  States  from  the 
Hawaiian  Islands. 

Article  VI.  —The  President  shall  appoint  five  Commissioners,  at  least  two  of  whom  shall  be 
residents  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands,  who  shall  as  soon  as  reasonable  and  practicable  recommend  to  Con- 
gress such  legislation  concerning  the  Territory  of  Hawaii  as  they  shall  deem  necessary  or  proper. 

Article  VII.  —This  treaty  shall  be  ratified  by  the  President  of  the  United  States,  by  and  with  the 
advice  and  consent  of  the  Senate,  on  the  one  part,  and  by  the  President  of  the  Republic  of  Hawaii,  by 
and  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the  Senate  in  accordance  with  the  Constitution  of  the  said  republic, 
on  the  other,  and  the  ratifications  hereof  shall  be  exchanged  at  Washington  as  soon  as  possible. 

In  witness  whereof  the  respective  plenipotentiaries  have  signed  the  above  articles  and  have  here- 
unto affixed  their  seals.

Tub  following  Is  the  text  of  the  treaty  between  the  United  States  and  Great  Britain,  provld* 
Ingfor  a  determination  of  the  limits  of  the  Territory  of  Alaska,  sent  to  the  United  States  Senate, 
February,  1897: 

Article  I.— Each  Government  shall  appoint  one  Commissioner,  with  whom  may  be  associated 
tuch  surveyors,  astronomers,  and  other  assistants  as  each  Government  may  elect. 

The  Commissioners  shall  at  as  early  a  period  as  practicable  proceed  to  trace  and  mark  under 
their  joint  directions  and  by  joint  operations  in  the  field  so  much  of  the  one  hundred  and  torty-first 
meridian  of  west  longitude  as  is  necessary  to  be  defined  for  the  purpose  of  determining  the  exact 
limits  of  the  territory  ceded  to  the  United  States  by  the  treaty  between  the  United  States  and  Kussia 
of  March  30, 1867.  Inasmuch  as  the  summit  of  Mount  St.  Elias,  although  not  ascertained  to  lie  in 
fact  upon  the  one  hundred  and  forty-first  meridian,  is  so  nearly  coincident  therewith  that  it  may  con- 
veniently be  taken  as  a  visible  landmark,  whereby  the  initial  pa  t  of  said  meridian  shall  be  estab- 
lished, it  is  agreed  that  the  Commissioners,  should  they  conclude  that  it  U  advisable  so  to  do,  may  de- 
flect the  most  southerly  portion  of  said  line  so  as  to  make  the  range  with  the  summit  of  MountSt. 
Elias,  such  deflection  not  to  extend  more  than  twenty  geographical mUes  northwardly  from  the  initial 
point 

Artici-e  II.— The  data  relating  to  the  determinations  already  made  at  this  time  by  either  of  the 
two  Governments  concerned,  of  points  on  or  near  the  one  hundred  and  forty-first  meridian  for  the 
purpose  of  fixing  its  position,  shall  be  submitted  by  each  Government  to  the  Commissioners,  who 
shall  decide  which  of  the  resulis  of  the  determmations  shall  be  adopted  by  them.  In  case  of  dis- 
agreement between  the  Commissioners  as  to  the  correct  geographical  co-ordinates  of  one  and  the 
same  point  determined  by  either  of  the  two  Governments  separately,  a  position  midway  between  the 
two  locations  in  question  of  the  one  hundred  and  forty- first  meridian  shali  be  adopted,  provided  tue 
discrepancy  between  them  shall  not  exceed  1,000  feet. 

In  case  of  a  greater  discrepancy  a  new  joint  determination  shall  be  made  by  the  Commissioners. 

Article  III.  —The  location  of  the  one  hundred  and  fortv-first  meridian  as  determined  here- 
under shaU  be  marked  by  intervisible  objects,  natural  or  artificial,  at  such  distances  apart  as  the 
Commissioners  shall  agree  upon,  and  by  such  additional  marks  a^  they  shall  deem  necessary,  and 
the  line  when  and  where  thus  marked,  in  whole  or  in  p  irt,  shall  be  deemed  to  permanently  define, 
for  ail  international  purposes,  the  one  hundred  and  forty-first  meridian  mentioned  in  the  treaty  of 
March  30,  1867,  between  the  United  States  and  Russia,  and  in  the  treaty  of  February  28(16),  1825, 
between  Great  Britain  and  Russia. 

The  location  of  the  marks  shall  be  described  by  such  views,  maps,  and  other  means  as  the  Com- 
mls=;ioners  shall  decide  upon,  and  duplicate  records  of  these  descriptions  shall  be  attested  by  the 
Commls  loners  jointly,  and  be  by  them  deposited  with  their  respective  Governments,  together  with 
their  final  r  port  hereinafter  mentioned. 

Article  IV. —Each  Government  shall  bear  the  expenses  inciclent  to  the  employment  of  its  own 
appointees  and  of  the  operations  conducted  by  them,  but  the  cost  of  material  used  in  permanently 
marking  the  meridian  and  of  its  transporiation  shall  be  borne  jointly  and  equally  by  the  two  Govern- 
ments. 

Article  V.  —The  Commissioners  shall  diligently  prosecute  the  work  to  its  completion,  and  they 
shall  submit  to  their  respective  Governments  from  time  to  time,  and  at  least  once  m  every  calendar 
year,  a  joint  report  of  progress,  and  a  final  comprehensive  report  upon  the  completion  of  the  whole 
work. 

The  present  convention  shall  be  duly  ratified  by  the  President  of  the  United  States  of  America, 
by  and  with  the  advice  and  consent  of  the'  Senate  thereof,  and  by  Her  Britannic  Majestv,  and  the 
ratification  shall  be  exchanged  at  Washington  o  c  in  London  as  soon  as  possible  within  twelve  months 
from  the  date  hereof.

TJCatConal  fLeague  for  tifte  jprotcctton  of  American 

THIS  absolutely  non» partisan  and  unsectarian  organization  was  incorporated  December  24, 1889. 
The  General  Secretary  has  prepared  the  following  statement  of  the  objects  ot  the  organization,  which  are: 

' '  To  secure  constitutional  and  legislative  safeguards  for  the  protection  of  the  common  school  sys- 
tem and  other  American  institutions,  to  promote  public  instruction  in  harmony  with  such  institutions, 
and  to  prevent  all  sectarian  or  denominational  appropriations  of  public  funds. ' ' 

As  a  means  of  securing  the  foregoing  objects,  the  following  proposed  XVI.  Amendment  to  the.  Ocm- 
Btttution  of  the  United  States  has  been  introduced  in  both  houses  of  Congress:  "Neither  Congress  nor 
any  State  shall  pass  any  law  respecting  an  establishment  of  religion,  or  prohibiting  the  free  exercise 
thereof,  or  use  the  property  or  credit  of  the  United  States,  or  of  any  State,or  any  money  raised  by  taxa- 
tion, orauthorizeeitherto  be  used,  for  the  purpose  of  founding,  maintaining,  or  aiding,  by  appropria- 
tion, payment  for  services,  expenses,  or  otherwise,  any  church,  religious  denomination,  or  religious 
society,  or  any  institution,  society,  or  undertaking  which  is  wholly  or  in  part  under  sectarian  or  eccles- 
iastical control. ' ' 

Since  this  movement  began,  eighteen  State  constitutions  have,  either  in  their  original  form  or  by 
amendment,  been  made  to  uarmonize  with  these  principles.  Including  the  new  States-admitted  to 
the  Union  since  1889,  thirteen  State  constitutions  have  made  rigid  provisions  for  protecting  the  com- 
mon school  system,  and  for  prohibiting  sectarian  appropriations  of  public  funds.  Concededly,  this 
organization  has  been  the  chief  factor  in  producing  these  results.  Forty- two  State  constitutions  now 
protect  the  integrity  of  the  school  funds,  and  twenty-eight  of  these  prohibit  sectarian  appropriations. 

The  various  American  patriotic  orders,  representing  over  4,000,000  voters,  have  given  the 
proposed  XVI.  Amendment  hearty  indorsement,  and  have  adopted  the  League' s  platform  of 
principles.  The  offices  of  the  League  are  at  1  Madison  Avenue,  New  York  City,  where  all  communi- 
cations should  be  addressed  to  the  General  Secretary.

The  text  of  President  McKinley's  message  of  March  15,  1897,  to  Congress,  stating  the  wasons 
for  calling  the  Fifty- fifth  Congress  together  in  extraordinary  session,  follows : 
Jb  the  Congress  of  the  United  States: 

Regretting  the  necessity  which  has  required  me  to  call  you  together,  I  feel  that  your  assembling 
in  extraordinary  session  is  mdispensable  because  of  the  condition  in  which  we  find  the  revenues  of  the 
Government. 

It  is  conceded  that  its  current  expenditures  are  greater  than  its  receipts  and  that  such  a  condition 
has  existed  for  now  more  than  three  years.  With  unlimited  means  at  our  command  we  are  present- 
ing the  remarkable  spectacle  of  increasing  our  public  debt  by  borrowing  money  to  meet  the  ordinary 
outlays  incident  upon  even  an  economical  and  prudeutadmiuistration  of  the  Government.  An  exam- 
ination of  the  subject  discloses  this  fact  in  every  detail  and  leads  inevitably  to  the  conclusion  that  the 
condition  of  the  revenue  which  allows  it  is  unjustifiable  and  should  be  corrected. 

We  find  by  the  reports  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  that  the  revenues  for  the  fiscal  year  ending 
June  30,  1892,  from  all  sources  were  $425,868,260.22  and  the  expenditures  for  all  purposes  were 
8415,953,806.56,  leaving  an  excess  of  receipts  over  expenditures  of  $9,914,453.66.  During  that  fis- 
cal year  $40,570,467.98  were  paid  upon  tbe  public  debt,  which  had  been  reduced  since  March  1, 
1889,  $259,076,890,  and  the  annual  interest  charge  decreased  $11  684,576.60.  The  receipts  of  the 
Government  from  all  sources  during  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1893,  amounted  to  $461, 716, - 
661. 94  and  its  expenditures  to  $459,374,887.65,  showing  an  excess  of  receipts  over  expenditures  of 
$2,341,674.29. 

Since  that  time  the  receipts  of  no  fiscal  year  and  with  but  few  exceptions  of  no  month  of  any  fiscal 
year  have  exceeded  the  expenditures.  The  receipts  of  the  Government  from  all  sources  during  the 
fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1894,  were  $372, 802, 498. 89,  and  its  expenditures  $442,605,758.87,  leav- 
ing a  deficit,  the  firet  since  the  resumption  of  specie  payments,  of  $69,803,260.58.  Notwithstanding 
there  wsis  a  decreaseof  $16j769,128. 78  in  the  ordinary  expenses  of  the  Government,  as  compared 
with  the  previous  year,  its  income  was  still  not  sufficient  to  provide  for  its  daily  necessities,  and  the 
gold  reserve  in  theTrea.sury  for  the  redemption  of  greenbackswas  drawn  upon  to  meet  them.  But  this 
did  not  suffice  and  the  Government  then  resorted  to  loans  to  replenish  the  reserve. 

In  February,  1894,  $50,000,000  in  bonds  were  issued,  and  in  November  following  a  second  Issue 
of  $50,000,000  was  deemed  necessary.  The  sum  of  $117,171,795  was  realized  by  the  sale  of  these 
bonds,  but  the  reserve  was  steadily  decreased  until  on  February  8, 1895,  a  third  sale  of  §62,315,400 
la  bonds  for  $65,116,244  was  announced  to  Congress. 

The  receipts  of  the  Government  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1895,  were  $390,373,203.30, 
and  the  expenditures  $433,178,426.45,  showing  a  deficit  of  $42,805,223.19.  A  further  loan  of 
$100. 000,  OOO  was  negotiated  by  the  Government  in  February,  1896,  the  sale  netting  $111,166,246, 
and  swelling  the  a^eregate  of  bonds  issued  within  three  years  to  $262,315,400.  For  the  fiscal  year 
ending  June  SO,  1896,  the  revenues  of  the  Government  from  all  sources  amounted  to  $409,475,408.78, 
while  its  expenditures  were  $434,678,654.48,  or  an  excess  of  expenditures  over  receipts  of  $25,- 
203, 245. 70.  In  other  words,  the  total  receipts  for  the  three  fiscal  years  ending  Jime  30,  1896,  were 
insufficient  by  $137,811,729. 46  to  meet  the  total  expenditures. 

Nor  has  this  condition  since  improved.  For  the  first  half  of  the  present  fiscal  year  the  receipts  of 
the  Government,  exclusive  of  postal  revenue,  were  $157,507,603,76,  and  its  expenditures,  exclusive 
of  postal  service,  $195,410,000.22,  or  an  excess  of  expenditures  over  receipts  of  $37,902,396.46.  In 
January  of  this  year  the  receipts,  exclusive  of  postal  revenues,  were  $24,316,994.05,  and  the  ex- 
penditures, exclusive  of  postal  service,  $30,269, 389.29,  a  deficit  of  $5,952,395. 24  for  the  month.  In 
February  of  this  year  the  receipts,  exclusive  of  postal  revenues,  were  $24,400,997.38,  and  expendi- 
tures, exclusive  of  postal  service,  $28,796,050.68,  a  deficit  of  $4,395,059.28,  or  a.total  deficiency  of 
$186,061,580.44  forthe  three  years  and  eight  months  endirg  March  1,  1897.  Not  only  are  we  with= 
out  a  surplus  in  the  Treasury,  but  with  an  increase  in  public  debt  there  has  been  a  corresponding 
increase  in  the  annual  interest  charge  from  $22,893, 883.20  in  1892,  the  lowest  of  any  year  since  1862, 
to  $34,387,297. 60  in  1896,  or  an  increase  of  $11,493,414. 40. 

It  may  be  urr!:ed  tliat  even  if  the  revenues  of  the  Government  had  been  sufficient  to  meet  all  Its 
ordinary  expenses  during  the  past  three  years,  the  gold  reserve  would  still  have  been  insufficient  to 
meet  the  demands  upon  It,  and  that  bonds  would  necessarily  have  been  issued  for  its  repletion.  Be 
this  as  It  may.  It  is  clearly  manifest,  without  denying  or  affirming  the  correctness  of  such  a  con- 
clusion, that  the  debt  would  have  been  decreased  in  at  lea.st  the  amoimt  of  the  deficiency,  and  business 
confidence  immeasurably  strengthened  throughout  the  country. 

Congress  should  promptly  correct  the  existing  condition.  Ample  revenues  must  be  supplied  not 
only  for  the  ordinary  expenses  of  the  Government,  but  for  the  prompt  payment  of  liberal  pensions  and 
the  liquidation  of  the  principal  and  interest  of  the  public  debt.  In  raising  revenue,  duties  should  be  so 
levied  upon  foreign  products  as  to  preserve  the  home  market,  so  far  as  possible,  to  our  own  producers ; 
to  revive  and  increase  manufactures ;  to  relieve  and  encourage  agriculture;  to  increase  our  domestic 
and  foreign  commerce;  to  aid  and  develop  mining  and  building,  and  to  render  to  labor  in  every  field 
of  useful  occupation  the  liberal  wages  and  adeq^uate  rewards  to  which  skill  and  industry  are  justly  en- 
titled. The  necessity  of  the  passage  of  a  tarifl;  law  which  shall  provide  ample  revenue  need  not  be 
further  urged.  The  imperative  demand  of  the  hour  is  the  prompt  enactment  of  such  a  measure,  and 
to  this  object  I  earnestly  recommend  that  Congress  shall  make  every  endeavor.  Before  other  Dusi- 
ness  is  transacted  let  us  first  provide  sufficient  revenue  to  faithfully  administer  the  Government  wlth= 
out  the  contracting  of  further  debt  or  the  continued  disturbance  of  our  finances.

This  Order  was  organized  in  Philadelphia  in  1847,  as  the  "Juuior  Sons  of  America,"  and  was 
composed  entirely  of  young  men  uudei  twenty-one  years  of  age.  It  had  extended  through  several 
Eastern  and  Southern  States  when  the  Civil  War  broke  out.  After  the  restoration  of  peace  the  Order 
was  reorganized,  and  is  now  established  in  nearly  every  State  and  Territory,  with  a  membership 
of  about  65,000. 

The  Order  has  for  its  objects:  ' '  To  inculcate  pure  American  principles;  to  teach  loyalty  to  Ameri- 
can institutions;  to  cultivate  fraternal  affection;  to  oppose  foreign  interference  in  State  or  National 
affairs;  M  oppose  all  appropriations  of  public  moneys  lor  sectarian  purposes;  to  preserve  the  Constitu- 
tion of  the  United  States  to  defend  and  maintain  the  American  system  of  public  schools.  Its  im- 
mediate benefits  are  home  benevolence,  the  care  of  its  sick,  the  burial  of  its  dead,  the  protection  of 
and  assistance  to  all  connected  with  it  who  may  be  in  need. ' ' 

It  is  non-sectarian  ixud  non- political,  and  in  the  choice  of  church  and  party  every  member  is  free 
to  exercise  his  individual  right;  but  his  duty  is  to  insist  that  the  acts  of  that  church  and  party  shall 
always  be  so  dlrecteri  as  to  promote  our  country's  welfare  and  protect  its  institutions. 

To  be  a  member,  one  must  be  a  male  person  "of  good,  moral  character,  sixteen  years  of  age.  a 
believer  in  the  existence  of  a  supreme  being  as  creator  and  preserver  of  the  universe,  born  on  the 
soil  or  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  United  States  of  America,  m  favor  of  free  education,  opposed  to 
any  union  of  Church  and  State,  and  to  the  interference  of  any  foreign  power,  directly  or  indirectly, 
with  theGoverrmient."

The  following  resolutions  were  adopted  by  the  National  Alliance  at  the  seventeenth  annual  meet- 
ing, held  at  Chicago,  111.,  December  16-17,  1896: 

Whekeas,  We  recognize  the  supremacy  of  law,  the  necessity  of  being  subject  to  the  same,  and  of 
having  persons  duly  authorized  to  frame  and  enact  the  same ;  and. 

Whereas,  The  farmers  of  the  United  States  outnumber  any  other  class  of  citizens,  and  have 
always  been  loyal  and  faithful  to  the  Government  in"time  of  war  as  well  as  in  time  of  peace;  and. 

Whereas,  The  Cabinet  position  known  as  Secretary  of  Agriculture  is  largely  due  to  the  eflTorts 
made  by  the  farm  organizations  of  the  United  States;  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  1.  By  the  National  Farmers'  Alliance,  at  the  annual  meeting  in  Chicago,  December  17, 
1896,  that  a  practical  farmer  should  be  selected  to  fill  the  position  of  Secretary  of  Agriculture. 

2.  That  the  National  Farmers'  Alliance  will  adhere  to  the  principles  set  forth  in  our  declaration  of 
purposes,  and  maintain  the  order  as  the  opponent  of  unjust  trusts  and  combines,  and  favor  the  educa^ 
tlon  of  our  membership  in  political  sentiment,  in  harmony  with  our  principles,  controlling  no  politi- 
cal party  and  being  controlled  by  none,  but  each  individual  may  use  his  own  judgment  in  the  exer- 
cise of  his  right  of  franchise  and  in  his  choice  of  methods  by  which  our  demands  may  be  secured. 

3.  That  we  favor  the  enactment  into  law  of  an  effective  anti-option  bill  prohibiting  gambling  in 
farm  products. 

4.  That  we  favor  such  strict  legislation,  both  State  and  National,  as  will  prohibit  the  adulteration 
of  all  food  products. 

The  National  Alliance  is  the  general  representative  of  the  State  alliances,  which  are  organized  in

PLATFORM. 

We  demand  a  National  currency,  safe,  sound,  and  flexible;  issued  by  the  General  Government  only; 
a  full  legal  tender  for  all  debts  and  receivable  for  all  dues,  and  an  equitable  and  efficient  means  of  dis- 
tribution of  this  currency,  directly  to  the  people,  at  the  minimum  of  expense  and  without  the  interven- 
tion of  banking  corporations,  and  in  sufficient  volume  to  transact  the  business  of  the  country  on  a  cash 
basis,  (a)  We  demand  the  free  and  unlimited  coinage  of  silver  and  gold  at  the  legal  ratio  of  16tol. 
(b)  We  demand  a  graduated  income  tax.  (c)  That  our  National  legislation  shall  be  so  framed  in  the 
future  as  not  to  build  up  one  industry  at  the  expense  of  another,  (d)  We  believe  that  the  money  of  the 
country  should  be  kept  as  much  as  possible  in  the  hands  of  the  people,  and  hence  we  demand  that  all 
National  and  State  revenues  shall  be  limited  to  the  necessary  expenses  of  the  Government  economically 
and  honestly  administered,  (e)  We  demand  that  postal  savings  banks  be  established  by  the  Govern- 
ment for  the  safe  deposits  of  the  savings  of  the  people,  and  to  facilitate  exchange,  (f)  We  are  unalter- 
ably opposed  to  the  issue  by  the  United  States  of  interest-bearing  bonds,  and  demand  the  payment  of 
all  coin  obligations  of  the  United  States,  as  provided  by  existing  laws,  in  either  %old  or  silver  coin,  at 
the  option  of  the  Government  and  not  at  the  option  of  the  creditor. 

The  Government  shall  purchase  or  construct  and  operate  a  sufficient  mileage  of  railroads  to  effec- 
tually control  all  rates  of  transportation  on  a  just  and  equitable  basis.  The  telegraph  and  telephone,  like 
the  post-office  system,  being  a  necessity  for  the  transmission  of  intelligence,  should  be  owned  and  oper- 
ated by  the  Government  in  the  interest  of  the  people.  We  demand  that  no  land  shall  be  held  by  corpo- 
rations for  speculative  purposes  or  by  railroads  in  excess  of  their  needs  as  carriers,  and  all  lands  now 
owned  by  aliens  should  be  reclaimed  by  the  Government  and  held  for  actual  settlers  only. 

We  demand  the  election  of  United  States  Senators  by  a  direct  vote  of  the  people.  That  each  State 
shall  be  divided  into  two  districts  of  nearly  equal  voting  population,  and  that  a  Senator  from  each  shall 
be  elected  by  the  people  of  the  district. 

Relying  upon  the  good,  common  sense  of  the  American  people,  and  believing  that  a  majority  of 
them,  when  uninfluenced  by  party  prejudice,  will  vote  right  on  all  questions  submitted  to  them  on  their 
merits,  and  further  to  effectually  annihilate  the  pernicious  lobby  in  legislation,  we  demand  direct  legis- 
lation by  means  of  the  initiative  and  referendum. 

The  Union  is  in  active  operation  in  the  following  States  and  Territories  :  Alabama,  Arkansas,  Cali- 
fornia, Colorado,  Delaware,  Florida,  Georgia,  Idaho,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Indian  Territory,  Kansas,

NOTICE  BY  THE  DEPARTMENT  OF  STATE. 

Passports  are  necessary  for  the  Russian  or  Turkish  dominions,  including  Egj'pt  and  Palestine,  and  must  be  certified  by  a  Russian 
or  Turkisn  consular  officer  before  entering  Russian  or  Turkish  jurisdiction.  Persous  quitting  the  United  States  vnth  eventual  pur- 
pose of  visiting  any  part  of  Russia  or  Turkey  are  advised  that  their  passports  may  conveniently  be  certified  in  advance  by  the  &)n- 
sul-Oeneral  or  Russia  or  Turkey  at  New  York,  thus  avoiding  possible  difficulty  in  obtaining  the  prescribed  visa  in  another  country  en 
route. 

Persons  traveling  vrith  United  States  passports,  desirous  of  entering  Alsace-Lorraine  from  France,  should  not  neglect  to  have 
their  passports  visaed  by  the  Ernbassy  of  Germany  at  Paris,  thus  possibly  sparing  themselves  much  inconvenience  and  delay. 

It  is  also  understood  that  in  many  of  the  larger  cities  of  Germany  passports  are  required  of  all  foreigners  who  therein  take  up 
even  a  short  residence. 

Dominican  Republic. — Every  foreigner  must  be  provided  with  a  passport  to  enter  the  State,  travel  within  it,  or  depart  from  it. 
He  should  procure  his  passport  from  a  Dominican  consul,  if  he  can,  at  the  port  of  his  departure.  If  he  arrive  without  a  passport,  he 
is  subject  to  detention  until  inquiry  has  been  made  by  the  police  concerning  his  domicile  and  antecedents. 

Hayti Upon  arrival  the  foreigner  is  called  upon  to  produce  his  passport  or  other  evidence  of  his  nationality,  identity,  etc      If 

there  is  a  Haytian  consul  at  the  port  of  his  embarkation  for  Hayti,  his  passport  shoidd  be  visaed  by  him,  or  he  should  procure  a  i  iss- 
port  from  him.  All  persons  leaving  Hayti  must  announce  that  fact  three  days  before  departure  and  procure  a  paasport  from  the!  cal 
authorities;  but,  if  necessary,  the  announcement  may  be  made  one  day  before  departure. 

Cuba  (Havana). — Americans  are  not  required  to  have  passports  in  order  to  be  admitted  to  Cuba, but  the  Consul-Qeneral  atron  'ly 
urges  that  they  be  provided  with  them.  Upon  arrival,  however,  they  must  present  to  the  civil  authorities  evidence  of  their  identt  y. 
Upon  departure  they  must  obtain  the  visa  of  the  regional  government  to  the  document  authorizing  their  admittance,  but  if  tUey  li  d 
domiciliary  passes,  these  must  previously  be  Indorsed  by  the  local  police  authorities  before  presentation  to  the  regional  government.

In  1897  proposed  amendments  to  their  State  Constitutions,  providing  for  full  woman  suffrage,  were 
rejected  in  the  Legislatures  of  the  States  of  California,  Connecticut,  Massachusetts,  Montana,  Ne- 
braska, Nevada,  and  Oklahoma.  The  Judiciary  Committee  of  the  Maine  Legislature  rejected  the 
proposition.  A  preposed  woman  suffrage  provision  in  the  Greater  New  York  charter  failed  in  the 
New  York  Legislature.     The  Delaware  Constitutional  Convention  rejected  woman  suffrage. 

A  proposed  amendment  to  grant  school  suffrage  to  women  was  defeated  in  New  Jersey  by  a  vote 
of  65,021  to  75,170. 

In  Colorado,  Utah,  and  Wyoming  women  have  full  suffrage  and  vote  for  all  oflBcers,  including 
Presidential  electors.  The  Woman  Suffrage  Law  was  adopted  in  Wyeming  in  1870, and  in  Colorado  in 
1893,  and  woman  suffrage  is  a  constitutional  provision  in  Utah. 

In  Kansas  women  exercise  the  suffrage  largely  in  municipal  elections. 

In  some  form,  mainly  as  to  taxation  or  the  selection  of  school  officers,  woman  suffrage  exists 
in  a  limited  way  in  Arizona,  Delaware,  Idaho.  Illinois.  Indiana,  Iowa,  Kentucky.  Massachusetts, 
Michigan,  Minnesota,  Montana,  Nebraska,  New  Hampshire,  New  Jersey.  North  Dakota,  Ohio, 
Oklahoma,  Oregon.  South  Dakota,  Texas,  Vermont,  Washington,  and  Wisconsin. 

In  many  European  countries,  in  Australia  and  New  Zealand,  in  Cape  Colony,  in  Canada,  and  1*\ 
parts  of  India  women  vote  on  various  terms  for  municipal  or  school  officers.

lowing the  establishment  of  the  Government,  the  State  Legislatures  "appointed"  the  Presidential 
electors,  and  the  people  therefore  voted  only  indirectly  for  them,  their  choice  being  expressed  by  their 
votes  for  members  of  the  Legislature.  In  this  tabulation  only  the  aggregate  electoral  votes  for  caadi^

*  Jackson  called  himself  a  South  Carolinian  and  his  biographer,  Kendall,  recorded  his  birthplace  in  Lancaster  County,  S.  C,  but 
Parton  has  published  documentary  evidence  to  show  that  Jackson  was  bom  in  Union  County,  N.  C,  less  than  a  quarter  mile  from 
the  South  Carolina  line,  t  The  Democratic  party  of  to-day  claims  lineal  descent  from  tie  first  Republican  party  and  President 
Jefferson  as  its  founder.  %  Political  parties  were  disorganized  at  the  time  of  the  election  of  John  Quincy  Adams.  He  claimed  to  be 
a  Republican,  but  his  doctrines  were  decidedly  FederaUstic.  The  opposition  to  his  Administration  took  the  name  of  Democrats  and 
elected  Jackson  President. 

More  details  of  the  lives  of  the  Presidents  were  given  in  Thb  Wobld  Almanac  for  1897,  pages  116  and  117. 

STije  l^rrsitrtntial  .Succession^ 

The  Presidential  succession  is  fixed  by  chapter  4  of  the  acts  of  the  Forty-ninth  Congress,  first  ses- 
sion. In  case  of  the  removal,  death,  resignation, or  inability  of  both  the  President  and  Vice-P»resident, 
then  the  Secretary  of  State  shall  act  as  President  until  the  disability  of  the  President  or  Vice-President 
is  removed  or  a  President  is  elected.  If  there  be  no  Secretary  of  State,  then  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  will  act;  and  the  remainder  of  the  order  of  succession  is  as  follows:  The  Secretary  of  War, 
Attorney-General,  Postmaster- General,  Secretary  of  the  Nav^  and  Secretary  of  the  Interior.  The

120  State   Legislation   in   1897, 


,Statr  ILefiislation  in  1897, 

The  following  summary  of  the  more  important  legislation  effected  by  State  Legislatures  in  1897 
Is  compiled  from  the  address  of  President  James  M.  Wool  worth,  before  the  American  Bar  Associa- 
tion in  August,  1897: 

Trusts.— In  many  States  acts  were  passed  for  the  suppression  of  combinations  to  regulate  and 
limit  trade,  labor,  and  production.  Some  of  them  have  been  supplementary  to  former  ones;  others 
repeal  former  acts  and  are  more  stringent;  and  in  others  the  subject  has  received  attention  for  the 
first  time.  In  almost  all  respects,  the  legislation  is  like  that  adopted  in  other  States  in  former  years. 
It  will  be  quite  enough  to  state  its  general  character.  The  word  '  'trust' '  is  taken  as  descriptive  of 
any  combination,  not  only  of  capital  and  skill,  but  also  of  "acts;"  a  vague  expression,  intended,  I 
suppose,  to  contain  withm  the  circumscription  of  the  word  "trust"  everything  that  may  be  done 
by  two  or  more  persons  in  almost  all  employments.  The  Kansas  act  enumerated  the  purposes  to 
further  which  trusts  shall  not  be  formed,  thus: 

First.  To  create  or  carry  out  restrictions  m  trade  or  commerce  or  aids  to  commerce,  or  to  carry 
out  restrictions  in  the  full  and  free  pursuit  of  any  business  authorized  or  permitted  by  the  laws  of  this 
State;  second,  to  increase  or  reduce  the  price  of  merchandise,  produce,  or  commodities,  or  to  control 
the  cost  or  rates  of  insurance ;  third,  to  prevent  competition  in  the  manufacture,  making,  transporta- 
tion, sale,  or  purchase  of  merchandise,  produce,  or  commodities,  or  to  prevent  competition  in  aids  of 
commerce;  fourth,  to  fix  any  standard  or  figure,  whereby  its  price  to  the  public  shall  be,  in  any  man- 
ner, controlled  or  established,  any  article  or  commodity  of  merchandise,  produce,  or  commerce  in- 
tended for  sale,  use,  or  consumption  in  this  State;  fifth,  to  make  or  enter  into,  or  execute  or  carry  out. 
any  contract,  obligation,  or  agreement  of  any  kind  or  description  by  which  they  shall  bind  or  have  to 
bind  themselves  not  to  sell,  manufacture,  dispose  of,  or  transport  any  articie  or  commodity  or  article 
of  trade,  use,  merchandise,  commerce,  or  consumption  below  a  common  standard  figure,  or  bj^  which 
they  shall  agree  in  any  manner  to  keep  the  price  of  such  article,  commodity,  or  transportation  at  a 
fixed  or  graded  figure,  or  by  which  they  shall  in  any  maimer  establish  or  settle  the  price  of  any 
article  or  commodity  or  transportation  between  them  or  themselves  and  others  to  preclude  a  free 
and  unrestricted  competition  among  themselves  or  others  in  transportation,  sale,  or  manufacture  of 
any  such  article  or  commodity,  or  by  which  they  shall  agree  to  pool,  combine,  or  unite  any  interest 
they  may  havein  connection  with  the  manufacture,  sale,  or  transportation  of  any  such  article  or  com- 
modity, that  its  price  may  in  any  manner  be  affected. 

It  IS  notmeant  that  the  acts  of  other  States  follow  in  terms  this  particular  enumeration  of  the  pur- 
poses of  the  obnoxious  "trusts;"  but  all  in  more  or  less  general  terms  cover  the  same  subjects. 
These  acts  are  all  highly  penal.  Most  of  them  banish  foreign  corporations  from  the  State,  and  forfeit 
the  charters  of  domestic  corporations  which  are  guilty  of  the  ofitence ;  and  they  declare  anything  in 
any  wise  in  furtherance  of  the  purposes  of  a  "trust"  a  misdemeanor  punishable  by  fine  and  im- 
prfaonment  Generally,  the  enforcement  of  the  law  is  not  only  committed  to  the  prosecuting  officer 
of  the  county,  but  isimposed  upon  the  Attorney-General  of  the  State.  The  acts  are  drawn  with  more 
than  usual  care  and  particularity,  with  the  view,  by  precise  and  comprehensive  provisions,  of  reach- 
ing every  party  in  any  way  implicated  in  the  oflfence  created  by  them.  In  some,  labor  organizations 
areexcepfed  from  the  provisions  of  the  acts;  in  others,  agricultural  products  while  in  the  hands  of 
the  producer  or  raiser.  Actions  for  damages  are  also  given  to  any  person  injured  by  any  "trust" 
against  any  person  operating  the  same. 

The  following  States  have,  during  the  past  year,  passed  acts  of  the  character  above  described : 
Alabama,  Arkansas,  Georgia,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Nebraska,  Kansas,  Maine,  Mississippi,  Missouri, 
North  Dakota,  South  Dakota,  South  Carolina,  Tennessee,  and  Wisconsin. 

In  several  States  acts  of  like  character  have  been  passed  to  prevent  combinations  of  insurance 
companies. 

Stock  Yards.— In  Kansas  and  Nebraska  acts  were  passed  declaring  stock  yards  doing  a  certain 
volume  of  business,  of  which  there  is  but  one  in  each  State,  public  markets ;  reducing  the  charge  here- 
tofore made  by  the  companies  operating  such  yards  about  25  per  cent;;  and  imposing  severe  penalties 
for  exacting  more  than  the  statutory  rates.  They  are.  perhaps,  local ;  and,  as  such,  not  strictly  within 
the  class  oflegislation  which  the  President  of  the  Association  is,  by  its  constitution,  required  to  mane 
mention  of,  but  questions  of  the  most  extensive  and  important  interest  are  raised  by  them.  One  is 
whether  stock  yards  are,  like  the  elevators  in  Munn's  Case  (94  U.  S. ,  113).  Budd's  Case  (143  U.  S. , 
517).  and  Brass'  Case  (153  U.  S.,  391).  engaged  in  a  public  employment,  in  such  wise  that  their  prop- 
erty 13  affected  by  a  public  interest :  and  whether,  by  reason  of  the  fact  that  shipments  of  stock  to  the 
yards,  being  very  largely  from  Western  to  Eastern  States,  on  through  bills  of  lading,  and  stopping  for 
rest  and  feed,  and  in  many  cases  sold  there,  the  business  of  the  companies  is  interstate  and  within  the 
commerce  clause  of  the  Constitution. 

Mutual  Benefit  Associations.— Arizona.  Indiana,  Missouri,  Maine,  and  Tennessee  passed 
acts  for  the  incorporation  ©f  societies  formed  and  carried  on  for  the  sole  benefit  of  their  members  or 
their  beneficiaries,  who  belong  to  the  Orders  of  Masons,  Knights  of  Pythias,  and  like  organizations. 
The  object  of  these  societies  is  to  make  provision,  in  case  of  death,  sickness,  or  physical  disability  of 
unfortunate  members,  for  the  payment  to  them  of  sums  from  funds  derived  from  assessments  or  dues 
collected  from  members.  They  are  required  to  make  and  file  with  the  proper  officer  of  the  State  re- 
ports setting  forth  their  operations  and  the  condition  of  their  affairs  during  the  preceding  year,  in 
forms  prescribed  by  a  State  officer ;  and  any  association  neglecting  or  refusing  to  malie  such  report,  or 
failing  to  comply  with  the  provisions  of  the  act  in  any  respect,  is  liable  to  an  injunction,  upon  the  ap- 

glication  of  the  Attorney-General,  restraining  it  from  carrying  on  the  business.  The  acts  contain  in- 
Ibitions  against  soliciting  agents,  and  against  contracts  of  a  member  giving  a  vested  right  in  his 
interest  in  the  association,  and  exemptions  from  seizure  on  legal  process  the  money,  benefit,  charity, 
relief,or  aid  already  paid  or  to  be  paid  by  the  member.  The  associations  are  required  to  appoint  a  per- 
son upon  whom  process  may  be  served,  which  shall  be  sufficient  service  upon  the  association. 

Greek  Letter  Societies.— South  Carolina  requires  the  governing  boards  of  all  institutions  of 
higher  learning  in  that  State,  supported  in  whole  or  in  part  by  public  funds,  to  forbid  and  disallow  In 
every  respect  secret  Greek  letter  fraternities  and  all  organizations  of  a  similar  nature,  not  including 
literary  societies  in  such  institutions. 

Aliens.— Illinois,  Missouri,  Idaho,  New  York,  and  Pennsylvania  passed  acts  relating  to  the 
competency  of  aliens  to  hold  and  take  title  to  lands.  In  Illinois,  an  alien,  21  years  old  or  upward 
at  the  time  of  acquiring  title  to  lands  in  that  State,  may  hold  the  same  for  six  years  from  and  after 
the  time  of  acquiring  such  title.    If,  at  the  time  of  acquiring  title  to  lands,  the  alien  be  under  21 


State  Legislation  in  1897.  121 

years,  he  may  hold  the  same  for  six  years  from  the  time  when  he  arrives  at  that  age.  If,  at  the 
expiration  of  the  times  named,  the  lands  are  not  conveyed  to  a  bona  fide  purchaser  for  value,  or  the 
alien  has  not  become  a  citizen  of  the  United  States,  an  information  is  to  be  filed  for  the  sale  of  the 
lands.    The  proceeds  of  the  sale  go  to  the  State  Treasurer  for  the  benefit  of  the  State. 

Missouri  passed  an  act  permitting  aliens  to  take  mortgages  upon  lands  to  secure  the  payment  of  a 
loan  of  money;  and,  in  case  of  foreclosure  and  sale,  to  purchase  and  take  the  title  to  the  mortgaged 
premises  and  hold  the  same  five  years,  within  which  tirne  they  must  be  sold  to  a  bona  fide  purcm^r 
for  value  under  penalty  of  escheat  to  the  State. 

The  New  York  act  provides  that  the  citizen  of  a  State  or  nation  which  confers  similar  privileges 
on  citizens  of  the  United  States  may  take,  acquire,  hold,  and  convey  lands  in  the  same  manner  aind 
with  like  effect  as  a  citizen  of  the  United  States;  reserving,  however,  the  rights  of  escheat  when 
proceedings  therefor  have  been  instituted  before  the  passage  of  the  act. 

Idaho  passed  an  act  declaring  it  unlawful  for  any  county  government,  or  municipal  or  State 
corporation  to  employ  an  alien  who,  prior  to  the  time  of  such  employment,  nas  neglected  or  refused 
to  become  naturalized  or  to  declare  his  intention  to  become  a  citizen  of  the  United  States.  If  an 
alien  has  been  innocently  employed  by  any  county  government  or  municipal  or  private  corporation, 
the  ofiicer  thereof,  upon  notice  that  such  employe  is  an  alien,  shall  forthwith  discharge  him. 

Protection  of  Children.— Acts  were  passed  by  the  Legislatures  of  New  Jersey,  South  Dakota, 
Alabama,  Montana,  Minnesota,  Michigan,  and  Wisconsin  regulating  the  adoption  of  children. 
Jurisdictionof  the  inquiry  is  vested  in  some  cases  in  the  Probate  Court  or  courts  of  like  jurisdiction, 
and,  in  others,  in  courts  of  general  jurisdiction.  The  proceeding  is  by  petition  of  the  party  proposing 
to  adopt  the  child,  who  must  produce  the  child's  consent  if  of  12, 14,  or  16  years  of  age  or  over,^  and 
that  of  the  parents  of  the  child,  If  legitimate,  or  of  its  mother  if  illegitimate,  or  of  institutions, 
guardians,  or  other  persons  to  whom  the  care  of  such  children  in  certain  circumstances  is  committed. 
The  consent  is  not  required  of  parents  of  vicious  character  or  who  have  abandoned  the  child.  A 
married  man  cannot  adopt  a  chUd  without  the  consent  of  his  wife,  nor  a  married  woman  without  that 
of  her  husband.  If  the  court  making  the  inquiry  is  satisfied  that  the  interests  of  the  child  will  be 
promoted  by  the  adoption,  an  order  is  to  be  Imade  declaring  that  the  child  shall  thenceforward  be 
regarded  and  treated  in  all  respects  as  the  child  of  the  petitioner,  and  thereupon  he  may  take  the 
family  name  of  the  person  adopting  him;  and  the  two  shall  sustain  the  legal  relation  of  parent  and 
chUd,  with  all  the  rights  and  subject  to  all  the  duties  of  that  relation. 

California  passed  an  act  relating  to  blindness  of  infants,  which  provides  for  the  care  of  such  infant 
by  a  legally  qualified  practitioner  of  medicine  of  the  city  or  town  or  district  in  which  the  parents  of  the 
infant  reside,  and  imposes  a  penalty  for  neglect. 

Connecticut  passed  an  act  providing  that  every  person  who  shall  torture,  torment,  cruelly  or 
unlawfully  punish  or  wilfully  or  negligently  deprive  any  person  of  necessary  food,  clothing,  or  shelter, 
or  who,  having  the  control  and  custody  of  any  chUd  under  the  age  of  16  years,  maltreats  such  child, 
shall  be  fined  or  imprisoned  or  both;  and  right  of  search  is  committed  to  any  prosecuting  officer, 
grand  juror,  or  officer  of  the  Connecticut  Humane  Society  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  whether  any 
such  offence  has  been  committed. 

Bhode  Island  passed  an  act  requiring  that  any  person  not  an  overseer  of  the  poor,  manager  of  a 
State  orothercharitable  institution,  shall  obtain  a  license  from  the  Board  of  State  Charities  before  he 
shall  receive,  board  or  keep  for  hire,  gain,  or  reward  any  infants  under  the  age  of  2  years,  not 
related  by  blood  or  marriage  to  or  legally  adopted  by  or  legally  committed  by  order  of  any  court  to 
such  person.  Licenses  are  to  be  issued,  upon  application,  and  approved  by  the  Board  of  Health  of  the 
city  or  town  in  which  the  licensee  proposes  to  receive,  board,  and  keep  such  infants. 

New  Hampshire  passed  an  act  providing  that  no  minor  between  3  and  15  years  of  age  shall  be 
supported  in  any  county  almshouse  for  more  than  sixty  days,  unless  the  consent  of  the  Board  of  Chari- 
ties has  been  obtained;  but  children  under  serious  physical  disability  or  mental  incapacity  for  educa- 
tion or  under  sentence  for  crime  are  excepted  from  the  operations  of  the  act.  It  is  also  made  the  duty 
of  the  officers  of  the  poor  and  of  county  commissioners  to  find  permanent  homes  for  orphan  minors, 
and  make  contracts  for  their  adoption  and  support. 

Pennsylvania  passed  an  act  providing  that  illegitimate  children  shall  take  and  be  known  by  the 
name  of  their  mother;  they  ana  their  issue,  mother  and  grandmother,  shall  liave  capacity  to  take  or 
inherit  from  each  other  as  next  of  kin. 

The  effect  of  the  adoption  of  a  minor  child  is  defined  by  an  act  of  New  York,  relieving  the  parents 
from  all  parental  duties  toward  and  all  responsibility  for  the  adopted  child,  and  divesting  their  rights 
9ver  him  and  his  property  by  descent  or  succession.  A  parent  procuring  a  divorce  or  a  surviving 
parent  having  lawful  custody  of  a  chUd  and  remarrying,  an  unmarried  adult  becoming  a  foster  parent, 
and  marrying,  shall  not  be  relieved  of  his  or  her  parental  duties  or  be  deprived  of  his  or  her  rights 
over  said  chUd  or  his  property  by  descent  or  succession,  but  the  chUd'  s  right  of  inheritance  or  succes- 
sion from  his  natural  parents  remains  unaffected  by  such  adoption,  and  extends  to  the  heirs  and  next 
of  kin  of  the  minor;  but  the  passing  and  limitation  over  of  real  and  personal  property  dependent  upon 
the  provisions  of  any  instrument,  on  the  foster  parent  dying  without  heirs,  the  minor  is  not  to  be 
deemed  the  child  of  the  foster  parent  so  as  to  defeat  the  rights  of  the  remainder  man. 

Indiana,  MLunesota,  Tennessee,  and  W  isconsin  passed  acts  forbidding  the  sale  or  gift  to  any  minor 
of  cigarettes  or  substitutes  therefor;  Nevada  forbids  the  keepers  of  saloons  or  gambling- houses  to  sell 
liquor  to  minors  or  to  permit  a  minor  to  engage  in  any  game  or  to  lounge  in  such  resorts;  and  North 
Carolina  makes  it  unlawful  after  notice  from  the  parent  or  guardian  for  the  keeper  of  a  barroom, 
billiard  room,  or  bowling  alley  to  allow  minors  to  enter  or  remain  therein, 

Illinois  imposed  upon  employers  in  any  mercantile-- institution,  store,  office,  laundry,  factory, 
etc, ,  where  minors  are  employed,  the  duty  to  keep  a  register  of  the  name,  age,  and  place  of  residence 
of  every  chUd  under  the  age  of  16  years  so  employed,  and  declares  it  unlawful  for  such  employer  to 
permit  any  child  over  14  and  under  16  years  of  age  to  work  in  such  establishment,  until  the  parent  or 
guardian  of  the  chUd  shall  furnish  an  affidavit  giving  his  name,  age,  date,  and  place  of  birth,  or  to  em- 
ploy such  person  in  service  where  life  is  in  danger,  health  likely  to  be  injured^  or  morals  depraved, 
and  also  providing  that  no  person  under  16  years  of  age  shall  work  more  than  10  hours  a  day, 

Indiana  also  passed  an  act  providing  that  no  person  under  16  and  no  woman  under  18  years  of  age 
employed  in  any  manufacturing  establishment  shall  work  more  than  60  hours  in  one  week  or  10  hours 
a  day,  and  no  chUd  under  15  years  shall  operate  any  elevator  running  at  a  speed  of  over  200  feet  a 
minute.  .  ■-■ 

North  Carolina  forbade  the  employment  of  boys,  under  12  years  of  age  in  mines  in  which  more 
than  ten  hands  are  employed. 

Alabama  made  16  and  North  Dakota  18  years  the  age  of  consent,  aud|Pennsylvania  provided  for 
transportation  of  chUdren  to  school  under  certain  circumstances. 

Employes.— Alabama,  Illinois,  Indiana,    Kansas,   Michigan,    Missouri,  Mississippi,  Montana, 

Washington, North  Carolina,  and  South  Dakota  passed  acts  for  the  protection  of  miners,  some  directed 

I  against  one  danger  and  some  against  others.    Most  of  them  provide  for  the  appointment  of  inspectors

of  mines  and  define  their  powers  and  duties,  for  ventilation  and  ways  of  escape,  safety  lamps  and 
safety  cars,  limiting  the  number  of  persons  at  any  one  time  In  a  car,  and  other  securities  against  acci- 
dent. Some  require  a  mine  boss,  fire  boss,  and  hoisting  engineer  to  be  examined  before  au  inspector 
and  obtain  a  certificate  of  his  competency.  Illinois  requires  that  wages  be  paid  in  lawful  money  of  the 
United  States,  ar  d  New  Mexico  forbids  payment  by  check  calling  for  anything  but  money.  Oklahoma 
and  Connecticut  provide  that  an  employer  who  shall  blacklist  an  emploj^6  with  intent  to  prevent  him 
from  procuring  other  employment  shall,  upon  conviction,  be  severely  fined.  Kansas,  Washington, 
and  W  Isconsin  forbid  bringing  into  the  State  persons  to  act  as  police.  Massachusetts,  Kansas,  and  New 
Jersey  require  that  the  platforms  of  street  cars  shall  be  inclosed  from  November  to  March,  both 
months  inclusive,  for  the  protection  of  the  motormen  from  the  weather. 

Idaho,  Indiana,  and  Alabama  passed  acts  for  the  investigation  and  arbitration  of  disputes  between 
employers  of  labor  and  their  employes.  The  act  of  Indiana  is  a  fair  specimen  of  them  all.  It  pro- 
vides lor  a  labor  commission  composed  of  two  electors,  each  of  whom  shall  have  been  not  less  than 
ten  years  of  his  life  one  an  employ^  and  the  other  an  emploj'er  of  labor  for  wages,  in  some  depart- 
ment of  industry  in  which  it  Is  usual  to  employ  a  number  of  persons  under  single  directionaudcontroL 
Neither  of  the  commissioners  shall  be  less  tnan  40  years  old,  nor  hold  any  county  or  city  oflflcein 
Indiana  during  his  term ;  and  thev  shall  not  be  members  of  the  same  political  party.  A  preliminary 
olTer  to  adjust  diCerences  shall  be  made  by  the  commissioners  in  the  first  instance,  wheneverthey 
have  credible  informationofany  strike,  lockout, boycott,orotherlaborcomplication  affecting  the  labor 
or  employment  of  fifty  or  more  persons.    Theirdutyistooffer  their  servicesas  mediators  between  the 

fiartles,  failing  in  which  they  shall  endeavor  to  induce  the  parties  to  submit  their  diSerences  to  arbl- 
ration.  The  Board  of  Arbitration  shall  be  made  up  of  the  commissioners  and  the  Judge  of  the  Circuit 
Court  of  the  county  in  which  the  business  in  relation  to  which  the  controversy  arises  shall  have  been 
carried  on.  By  consent  of  the  parties,  twoothersmay  be  joined  in  the  Board;  one  to  be  named  by  the 
employer  and  the  other  by  the  employ6s.  The  act  contemplates  an  agreement  between  the  parties 
to  enter  into  the  arbitration,  andrequlresthatlt  be  in  writing,  and  state  the  issue  to  be  submitted  and 
decided,  and  be  si-ned  bv  the  employer  or  his  representative  then  and  theretofore  in  control  or  man- 
agement of  the  business  In  relation  to  which  the  controversy  shall  have  arisen,  and  by  not  less  than 
two- thirds  of  the  employ6s  concerned  in  the  controversy  in  their  own  person,  orbytiheir  represen- 
tative. The  Board  shall  sit  with  open  or  closed  doors,  as  it  shall  direct.  The  Judge  shall  preside, 
with  power  to  issue  subpcEuas  for  witnesses,  to  administer  oaths  and  affirmations,  enforce  order,  and 
direct  and  control  the  examination-  If  five  members  sit  as  such  Board,  three  shall  have  power  to 
make  an  award:  if  less  than  five  sit,  two  may  make  an  award.  The  award  shall  be  in  writing,  and 
delivered  with  the  agreement  to  the  clerk  of  the  court,  and  one  copj^  delivered  to  the  employer,  and 
auothertothefirstsignerof  the  agreement  on  the  part  of  the  employes.  If  any  party  to  such  agree- 
ment does  not  comply  with  the  award,  the  Court  or  Judge  in  vacation  shall  grant  a  rule  against  nim, 
to  show  cause  in  five  days  why  the  award  has  not  been  obeyed.  Upon  return  of  the  rule,  the  Court  ir 
In  session,  orthe  Judge  in  vacation,  shaU.  hear  and  determme  the  questions  presented,  and  make  such 
order  or  orders  as  shall  give  effect  to  the  award,  and  delinquents  shall  be  deemed  guilty  of  contempt  of 
court  and  punished  accordingly.  Voluntary  submissions  are  also  provided  for.  The  Judge  of^the 
Court  is  strictly  required  to  give  his  first  attention  to  such  controversies.  If  the  parties  to  such 
controversy  do  not  amicably  adjust  their  differences,  nor  agree  to  submit  the  same  to  arbi- 
tration, the  Commission  is  directed  to  proceed  at  once  to  investigate  the  facts  attending  the 
disagreement,  and  in  the  prosecution  of  such  investigation  it  has  power  to  issue  subpcenas, 
and  each  member  has  power  to  administer  oaths  and  affirmations.  In  case  of  disobedience 
of  any  subpoena,  or  refusal  of  any  \%itue.  s  to  testify,  the  Circuit  Court  of  the  County,  or  the  Judge  in 
vacation,  shall,  upon  the  application  of  the  Commission,  grant  a  rule  against  the  disobedient  person, 
to  show  cause  forthwith  why  he  shall  not  obey  the  subpoena,  or  testify  as  required,  or  be  adjudged 
guilty  of  contempt.  Upon  the  completion  of  the  Investigation  the  Commission  is  required  to  report 
the  facts  disclosed  affecting  the  merits  of  the  controversy,  to  the  Governor,  who,  if  tbere  be  no  good 
reason  to  the  contrary,  is  required  to  give  the  report  out  for  publication.  Acts  or  a  similar  character 
have  heretofore  been  passed  in  other  States;  their  force  and  validity  have  not  been  brought  Into 
judicial  judgment.  Public  opinion  being  strongly  in  favor  of  the  arbitration  of  labor  troubles,  each 
party  must  feel  the  great  pressure  in  the  direction  of  submission  to  any  fair  and  reasonable  award. 

Missouri  and  Texas  dealt  with  the  fellow  servants'  rule.  In  the  former  State,  a  railroad  com- 
pany was  made  responsible  for  damages  sustained  by  one  agent  or  servant,  by  reason  of  the  negli- 
gence of  another;  and  persons  in  the  service  of  such  companies,  with  autnority  of  superintendent, 
control,  or  command  OYeroLher3intheiremploy,orwith  the  duty  of  inspection  or  other  duty  owing 
by  master  to  servants,  aredeclaredtobevice-pnncipalsof  such  companies,  and  not  fellow  servants 
with  such  emp  oy6s.  Fellow  servants  are  employes  in  a  common  service,  working  together  at  the 
same  time  and  place  to  a  common  purpose  of  the  same  grade,  one  not  having  superintendence  or 
control  over  the  other.  Contracts  limiting  the  liability  of  a  company  for  the  injury  or  death  of  agents 
or  servants  tinder  the  provisions  of  the  act  are  declared  vol''. 

In  South  Carolina  laborers  who  quit  work  without  performing  the  service  for  which  they  have 
been  prepaid,  and  contractors  who  fail  to  pay  for  materials  or  labor  in  erecting  buildings  are  liable  to 
punishment.  Laborers  are  given  a  lien  in  the  nature  of  a  mechanics'  lien,  prior  to  all  mortgages  on 
all  the  property,  franchises,  and  earnings  of  companies. 

Kansas  and  Pennsylvania  made  it  unlawful  to  attempt  to  coerce  employes  by  threatening  to  dis- 
charge them,  because  connected  with  labor  organizations;  while  Michigan  provided  for  the  incorpora- 
tion of  such  organizations. 

Montana,  Tennessee,  Idaho,  and  Pennsylvania  forbade  the  wearing  of  a  button,  badge,  or  other 
insignia  of  a  labor  organization  by  any  person  notamember  thereof,  and  payment  of  wages  in  cash  or 
by  check  calUng  for  money  only  is  required  in  Kansas,  while  Oklahoma  and  Washmgton  forbid 
counterfeiting  workingmen' s  label. 

Railroads.— Railroads  have  received  the  usual  attention  from  the  Legislatures.  North  and 
Bouth  Dakota  and  Washington  passed  acta  limiting  passenger  and  freight  charges.  The  companies 
In  the  Dakotas  have,  upon  bills  filed  in  the  Federal  Courts,  obtained  injunctions  against  officers 
charged  with  the  enforcement  of  the  acts,  on  the  principal  groimd  that  the  statutory  rates  do  not 
yield  fair  compensation  for  their  services. 

Tennessee  and  Florida  have  undertaken  to  reach  the  same  end  by  the  contrivance  of  a  commis- 
sion .  The  acts  passed  to  that  end  are  much  the  same  as  those  heretofore  passed  in  other  States.  They 
provide  for  a  commission,  whose  members  are  guarded  against  the  influence  of  the  railroads,  by  ex- 
cluding fromthelrmembers  employ63  of  the  roads  and  owuers  of  railroad  stocks,  bonds,  or  other 
such  property,  and  by  forbidding  their  acceptance  of  any  favors  or  gratuities  In  anyway  from  them. 
They  are  authorized  to  supervise  and  fix  the  rates,  correct  abuses,  and  prevent  discrimination  and  ex- 
tortion. They  have  power  to  subpoena  witnesses  and  compel  their  testimony.  They  declare  unlaw- 
ful Bpeclal  rates,  extortion,  overcharges,  preferences,  and  discrimination;  definmg  extortion  and 


State  Legislation  in  1897*  123 

discrimination  substantially  as  they  are  defined  in  the  Interstate  Commerce  law.  The  commissloQ  is 
required  to  investigate  interstate  rates,  to  request  the  companies  to  reduce  them.  If  found  to  be  exces- 
sive, and  to  notify  the  Jnterstate  Commerce  Commission  if  proper  corrections  are  not  made.  The 
Erovlslons  of  the  act  are  enforced  by  penalties,  and  the  several  courts  are  vested  with  jurisdiction  to 
earand  determine  actions  arising  under  it.  In  South  Carolina  also  violations  of  the  Interstate  Com- 
merce act  are  made  penal. 

The  police  power  was  called  into  exercise  in  a  g^reat  variety  of  ways,  in  behalf  of  both  the  com- 
panies and  the  public.  In  Alabama,  passenger  trains  must  stop  at  stations  nearest  the  county  court- 
house, and  depots  must  be  established  at  all  towns  of  one  thousand  inhabitants;  in  Arkansas,  em- 
ployds  are  authorized  to  do  all  things  necessarj;^  to  protect  passengers  from  fraud,  imposition,  and 
annoyance;  in  Michigan,  the  Railroad  Commissionei-s  may  order  the  roads  to  erect  and  maintain 
automatic  bell  signals  at  crossings  not  guarded  by  flagmen;  in  South  Carolina,  the  Commissioners 
may  require  the  roads  to  erect  at  junctional  points  union  or  other  depots;  in  Kansas,  railroads  must 
furnish  free  transportation  to  shippers,  and  in  North  Carolina  the  roads  are  required  to  handle  bag- 
gage and  freight  with  care.  In  Arizona  and  Utah,  provision  is  made  for  the  incorporation  of  com- 
panies for  the  purpose  of  purchasing  the  property  of  roads  sold  under  judicial  proceedings;  and  in 
Arizona,  Missouri,  and  New  Mexico,  companies  in  those  States  are  authorized  to  extend  their  lines 
into  other  States  and  Territories;  while  iu  Maine  a  company  operating  the  road  of  another  company 
mayhold  shares  in  it,  and  in  South  Carolina  owners  of  abandoned  railroads  are  required  to  resume 
their  operation  within  a  limited  time  under  penalty  of  forfeiture  of  their  franchises. 

Inn-Keepers.— The  rights  of  inn-keepers  were  guarded  bj' acts  of  the  Legislatures  of  Connecticut, 
Indiana,  and  Michigan,  by  lieuson  the  baggage  of  guests;  and  of  Indiana  and  Wisconsin  by  penalties 
for  obtaining  accommodations  with  intent  to  defraud.  In  Massachusetts  lodging-house  keepers  also 
have  a  lien  on  lodgers'  baggage,  while  in  Minnesota  and  California  a  penalty  is  denounced  against  inn- 
keepers for  excluding  from. accommodations  in  their  inns  or  hotels  any  person  on  account  of  race, 
color,  or  previous  condition  of  servitude. 

Electricity  .—The  progress  of  science  and  invention  has  left  its  impress  upon  the  laws  in  an  inter- 
esting way.  Connecticut,  Montana,  New  Jersey,  Tennessee,- and  Washington  made  it  penal  to  steal 
electric  currents  from  wires  of  parties  authorized  to  manufacture,  use,  or  sell  electricity  for  light,  heal, 
or  power. 

Bicycles.— Bicycles  come  in  for  a  share  of  attention.  Arkansas,  California.  Michigan,  New 
Jersey, and  South  Carolina  provided  for  their  carriage  as  baggage,  and  special  penalties  were  provided 
for  the  theft  of  them  in  Massachusetts  and  Connecticut,  in  which  latter  State  wilful  injury  of  cycle 

Eaths  is  punishable  byline,  and  speed  is  regulated;  while  Illinois  forbade  long-continued  and  brutal 
icycle  racing. 

Inspection  of  Oils.— Alabama,  North  and  South  Dakota,  Wisconsin,  and  Wyoming  passed 
acts  for  the  inspection  of  illuminating  oils. 

Adulteration  of  Foods.— A  great  many  acts  were  passed  making  it  highly  penal  to  adulterate 
foods,  as  candies  and  confects,  by  the  mixture  of  terra  alba,  barytes,  talc,  and  other  mineral  substances 
and  by  poisonous  color  or  flavor  or  other  ingredients  deleterious  or  detrimental  to  health  (Alabama, 
Georgia,  Florida,  Missouri,  Nevada,  North  Dakota,  Wyoming) ;  ale  and  beer  by  deleterious  sub- 
stances and  buckwheat,  flour,  coffee,  molasses  by  glucose  mixture  (Connecticut) ;  and  jellies,  spices, 
flax  seed  and  linseed  oil,  vinegar,  and  spirits  of  turpentine  (Michigan,  Minnesota,  Wisconsin,  ana 
Utah),  and  products  of  the  dairy  and  imitations  of  them  were  especially  guarded  in  many  States,  by 
the  appointment  of  inspectors  with  competent  power  (Alabama,  Connecticut,  Illinois,  Maine,  Michi- 
gan, Massachusetts,  Missouri,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Washington, and  Wisconsin).  Pennsylvania 
Brohibited  the  manufacture  or  sale  of  adulterated  drugs,  and  Connecticut  of  ales  and  fermented 
quors. 

Peddlers.— Peddlers,  hawkers,  and  itinerant  venders  of  goods  were  required  to  take  out  licenses 
In  Connecticut,  Michigan,  Minnesota,  Montana,  Nevada,  New  Mexico,  South  Dakota.and  Wisconsin; 
and  in  Alabama  and  South  Carolina,  when  they  offer  for  sale  medicines,  drugs,  and  articles  of  like 
character.  In  Maine  and  Georgia,  traveling  salesmen  taking  orders  merely  are  exempted  fromih© 
operation  of  such  acts. 

Irrigation.— The  subject  of  irrigation  of  arid  lands  has  become  a  separate  topic  of  the  law.  At 
first,  and  for  a  long  time,  the  right  to  water  and  its  appropriation  was  regulated  by  customs  of  the 
community;  but  it  was  not  long  before  they  were  dennea  by  statute.  Now,  rights  to  water  when 
flowing  through  not  only  private  but  public  lands  are  defined  and  regulated  by  statutes  of  the 
States  a  considerable  part  of  whose  territory  is  arid,  the  provisions  of  which  are  minute  and  elaborate. 

During  the  year  Alabama,  New  Jersey,  Oklahoma,  Montana,  Washington,  Idaho,  Wyoming, 
Utah,  andKansasdealt  with  the  subject,  some  in  amendatory  and  some  in  original  acts.  This  legis- 
lation is  interesting  in  other  parts  than  those  directly  affected  by  it,  because  rules  of  property  have 
been  modified  in  some  important  particulars  to  meet  new  and  urgent  conditions.  The  statute  of 
Oklahoma  is  a  pretty  fair  sample  of  these  statutes.  Two  classes  of  water  are  dealt  with;  one  the 
ordinary  flow  or  underflow  of  running  streams,  and  the  other  storm  and  rain  waters  stored  lu  dams, 
lakes,  or  reservoirs,  both  of  which  are  declared  to  be  the  property  of  the  public,  to  be  acquired  by 
appropriation  for  the  uses  and  purposes  and  in  the  manner  stated  in  the  act.  Running  water  in  a 
stream  maybe  diverted  from  its  natural  channel  for  the  purposes  of  irrigation,  mining,  milling, 
water- works  for  cities  and  towns,  and  stock  raising;  not,  however,  to  the  prejudice  of  the  riparian 
owner  without  his  consent,  except  after  condemnation.  As  between  different  appropriators,  the  flrat 
in  time  Is  the  first  in  right. 

In  some  other  States,  however,  appropriators  are  upon  an  equal  footing.  Parties  constructing 
any  ditch,  canal,  reservoir,  dam,  or  lake,  and  taking  water  from  any  natural  stream,  dam,  lake,  or 
storage  reservoir,  must,  within  a  limited  time,  file  iu  the  proper  public  office  and  cause  to  be  recorded 
therein  a  sworn  statement  showing  the  number  of  acres  to  be  irrigated,  the  name  of  the  ditch  or 
canal,  the  point  at  which  the  headgate  is  situated,  the  size  of  the  ditch  or  canal  in  width  an  1  depth, 
and  Its  carrying  capacity  in  cubic  feet  per  second  of  time,  the  name  of  the  stream  from  which  the 
water  is  taken,  the  time  when  the  work  was  commenced,  the  name  of  the  owner  or  owners,  together 
with  a  map  showing  the  route:  and  when  the  water  is  taken  from  a  reservoir,  dam,  or  lake,  the 
Btatement  must  also  show  the  locality  thereof,  the  name  or  numbers  of  the  public  surveys  upon 
which  it  is  located,  its  capacity,  acreage,  and  surface  feet  of  land  to  be  covered,  the  limits  of  the  lake, 
reservoir,  or  dam, and  the  area  of  the  water-shed  from  which  the  storm  or  rain  water  will  be  collected. 
Any  party  may  acquire  the  right  to  appropriate  for  irrigation  purposes  the  unappropriated  water  of 
the  ordinary  flow  or  underflow  of  every  running  stream,  and  the  siorm  or  rain  v/ater  of  every  river, 
cafton,  ravine,  depression,  or  water-shed  by  tiling  a  sv/orn  statement  of  much  the  same  character. 
The  claimant  must,  within  ninety  days  from  the  filing  of  the  statement,  begin  the  actual  construo 
tlon  of  the  proposed  ditch,  canal,  dam,  lake,  or  reservoir,  and  prosecute  the  work  diligently  and 
continuously  to  completion.  It  is  unlawful  for  any  party  to  appropriate  or  divert  auy  such  water, 
with  certain  exceptions  In  favor  of  the  owner  of  lands  abutting  on  a  running  stream  and  whose  laud 


\~  r niir         Ti     iiaifc  ■iWii 


124  State  Legislation  in  1897. 

is  within  the  area  of  the  water-shed.  Water  not  used  or  contracted  for  use  may  be  appropriated  by 
others.  Corporations  formed  for  the  purposes  mentioned  in  the  act  may  make  contracts  for  the  sale 
of  common  water  rights,  and  have  the  same  secured  by  lien  on  the  land  served  and  upon  crops  raised 
on  such  lands.  The  rights  of  parties  to  be  served  by  water  furnished  by  such  corporations  are  partic- 
ularly defined.  These  corporations  have  the  right  of  way  over  the  lands  of  the  State  and  public 
highways,  and  the  use  of  timber,  rock,  and  gravel  thereon  for  construction  purposes,  and  may  obtain 
the  right  of  way  over  private  land  by  contract  or  by  the  exercise  of  the  power  of  eminent  domain 
Interference  with  irrigation  construction  and  damages  to  any  canal,  reservoir,  dam,  etc.  ,are  severely 
punished. 

Montana  passed  an  act  amendatory  of  a  former  act,  very  minutely  regulating  the  reclamation 
and  disposition  of  arid  lauds  granted  to  the  State  by  the  Federal  Government.  The  fund  from  whScb 
theexpensesof  the  work  are  to  be  defrayed  is  raised  by  the  sale  of  irrigation  bonds  issued  by  State 
commissioners,  the  principal  and  interest  of  which  are  to  be  met  by  the  sale  of  reclaimed  lands  and 
annual  charges  thereon.  The  act  limits  the  amount  to  be  raised  and  expended  in  1897  to  $500,000, 
and  thereafter  to  $1,000, 000  per  annum.  The  sale  of  reclaimed  lands  is  carefully  regulated  in  respect 
of  price  for  which  and  parties  to  whom  the  same  may  be  made. 

Agriculture.— In  Maine  and  Michigan  acts  were  passed  authorizing  the  State  Board  of  Agri- 
culture to  hold  Farmers'  Institutes  in  each  county;  in  South  Dakota  for  experimenting  with  drought - 
resisting  forage  plants  suitable  to  the  dry  range  regions  of  the  middle  part  of  that  State ;  in  Alabama 
for  the  education  of  the  colored  race  in  agriculture ;  and  in  Michigan,  New  Mexico,  Washington,  Wis- 
consin, and  Wyoming  encouraging  the  manufacture  of  beet  sugar. 

Arkansas,  Arizona,  Connecticut,  Indiana,  Maine,  Massachusetts,  Minnesota,  Missouri,  Montana, 
Idaho,  New  Jersey,  New  Mexico,  North  and  South  Dakota,  Oklahoma,  Washington,  and  Wyominy 
passed  a  great  variety  of  acts  for  the  suppression  of  contagious  diseases  among  domestic  animals  and 
the  extermination  of  wild  animals  and  noxious  insects. 

Education.— The  subject  of  education  received  the  usual  attention.  Provision  was  made  for  uni- 
form series  of  text  books  in  Alabama,  Kansas,  Maine,  Montana,  Oklahoma,  South  Dakota,  and  Texas. 
Illinois,  Indiana,  Michigan,  Pennsylvania,  and  Utah  compel  the  attendance  at  school  of  children  be- 
tween certain  immature  years  for  an  annual  period,  some  of  twelve  and  others  of  twenty  weeks  in  a 
year.  The  statute  of  Illinois  is  a  fair  sample  of  the  others.  It  provides  that  every  person  having 
control  of  any  child  between  the  ages  of  7  and  14  years  shall  annually  cause  such  child  to  at- 
tend at  least  sixteen  weeks,  twelve  of  which  shall  be  consecutive,  some  public  or  private  school ; 
except  when  he  has  been  or  is  being  otherwise  instructed  for  a  like  period  in  the  elementary  branches 
of  education  by  a  person  or  persons  competent  to  give  such  instruction,  or  his  physical  or  mental  con- 
dition renders  nis  attendance  impracticaDle  or  inexpedient  or  he  is  excused  for  sufficient  reason  by  a 
competent  court  of  record.  Theact  provides  for  the  appointment  of  truant  officers  whose  duty  itshall 
be  to  report  to  the  proper  authority  all  violations  of  the  act,  and  complain  of  and  prosecute  all  persons 
guilty  thereof.  They  are  required  to  arrest  any  child  of  school-going  age  who  habitually  haunts 
public  places,  and  has  no  lawful  occupation,  and  any  truant  child,  and  place  him  in  charge  of  the 
teacher  of  a  school  which  he  is  entitled  to  attend ;  which  school  may  be  designated  to  the  officer  by  the 
parent,  guardian,  or  person  having  control  of  such  child.  Fines  are  imposed  upon  persons  neglecting 
their  duty  and  for  wUful  misstatement  of  the  child's  age  or  the  time  it  has  attended  school. 

Parental  schools  or  homes  were  provided  in  Utah  and  Indiana.  In  Utah,  any  child  between  8 
and  14  years  of  age  found  to  be  an  habitual  truant  or  wandering  about  the  streets  and  public 
places  of  cities,  withoutlawful  employment,  shall  be  committed  to  the  parental  school  for  an  inde- 
terminate period  not  beyond  the  age  of  14  years.  So,  also,  children  under  16  years  of  vicious 
parents,  or  oy  reason  of  orphanage  growing  up  without  salutary  parental  control  and  education,  or 
in  circumstances  encouraging  them  to  lead  idle  and  desolate  lives,  may  also  be  committed  to  such 
institutions.  In  either  of  the  cases  mentioned,  under  proper  circumstances,  the  child  may  be  dis- 
charged. In  Indiana,  the  age  of  a  child  liable  to  be  committed  to  such  parental  home  shall  notexceed 
12  years.  The  courts  of  general  jurisdiction  in  each  State  have  power  fo  enforce  the  provisions  of  the 
act* 

An  act  of  Rhode  Island  gave  to  the  proper  authority  of  the  city  of  Providence  power  to  establish 
a  public  school  teachers'  retirement  fund.  This  fund  is  raised  from  several  sources.  One  is  money 
received  from  donations,  legacies,  gifts,  bequests,  or  otherwise  for  or  on  account  of  said  fund.  On  and 
after  October  1,  1897,  the  School  Committee  is  required  to  reserve  and  turn  over  to  the  fund  one 
per  cent  of  the  salaries  paid  to  teachers  who  shall,  prior  to  that  date,  elect  to  come  under  the  pro- 
visions of  the  act,  and  one  per  cent  of  the  salaries  paid  to  all  teachers  appointed  after  that  date ;  such 
assessment  not  to  exceed  one  per  cent  of  $1,200  per  annum.  Interest  or  income  derived  from  the 
above  moneys  also  goes  into  the  fund.  Teachers  entitled  to  payment  out  of  the  fund  are  those  who 
have  annually  contributed  thereto  for  at  least  five  years,  and  have  taught  in  the  public  schools,  if  a 
man  not  less  than  thirty- five  years,  and  if  a  woman  not  less  than  thirty  years.  A  retiring  teacher 
receivesone-half  of  his  salary  at  the  time  of  retirement,  but  not  more  than  $600  in  any  one  year. 
Teachers  who  have  taught  continuously  in  the  public  schools  not  less  than  ten  years  and  who,  for  not 
less  than  five  years,  have  annually  contributed  to  said  fund,  and  without  their  fault  have  become 
mentally  or  physically  incapacitated  for  further  service,  may  be  retired  and  become  a  beneficiary  of 
the  fund  on  the  same  terms  as  those  who  have  completed  the  service  of  twenty  years,  but  the  annuity 
shall  cease  with  the  incapacity. 

In  California  an  act  was  passed,  amendatory  to  a  former  act,  creating  and  administering  a  public 
school  teachers'  annuity  and  retirement  fund  in  the  several  cities  and  counties  of  the  State. 

Provision  was  made  for  manual  training  in  Illinois  and  for  physical  education  in  Wisconsin.  In 
Minnesota,  Missouri,  North  Dakota,  Kentucky,  and  Utah,  provision  was  made  in  carefully  framed 
statutesfor  the  election  of  school  officers,  inderone  name  and  another,  and  for  the  management  and 
care  of  public  education  with  special  provisions  for  teachers'  institutes  and  examinations.  In  Texas 
an  act  was  passed  appropriating  land  for  the  establishment  of  a  colored  university,  Alabama  provided 
for  industrial  schools  for  white  girls. 

The  Liquor  Traffic— Many  States  have  passed  acts  relating  to^the  liquor  traffic.  It  maybe 
said  of  them  generally  thatthey  indicate  a  dispositicT  toward  increasing  stringency,  and  in  the  direc- 
tion of  high  license.  South  Dakota  passed  an  act  covering  the  whole  subject  with  very  great 
thoroughness. 

Militia*— Wisconsin,  Minnesota,  Montana,  Missouri, Illinois,  Connecticut,  Alabama,  and  Wyom- 
ing reorganized  the  National  Guard  by  elaborate  acts.  Nothing  in  these  acts  calls  for  particular 
attention,  except  the  provisions  of  the  act  of  Illinois,  providing  for  a  naval  force  of  that  State,  the 
organization,  system  of  discipline, and  exercise  of  which  is  to  conform,  as  nearly  as  may  be,  to  that  of 
the  navy  of  the  United  States. 

Taxation.— California,  Connecticut,  Minnesota,  Montana,  and  Pennsylvania  passed  acts  impos- 
ing: a  tax  upon  inheritances  and  legacies.     They  provide  that  the  court  having  jurisdiction  of  the 


State  Legislation  in  1897.  125 

settlement  of  the  estate  of  a  deceased  person  shall  take  measures  for  the  appraLsal  thereof,  with  a 
view  to  subjecting  the  same  to  the  tax     The  provisions  are  minute  and  particular  to  enforce  such  tax. 

In  several  of  the  States  special  provision  is  made  for  the  taxation  of  corporations  and  especially  of 
certain  species  of  their  property, such  as  railroad  cars,  and  of  water  craft  used  in  interstate  commerce. 

Convicts.— Connecticut,  Illinois,  Idaho,  Indiana,  Minnesota,  and  Missouri  made  provisions  for 
the  parole  of  prisoners  confined  in  the  State  prison.  A  paroled  prisoner  remains  in  legal  custody  and 
under  the  control  of  proper  oflacers,  and  is  subject  at  any  time  to  be  taken  back  within  the  limits  of  the 
prison  and  be  reimprisoned.  A  convict  who  is  serving  a  life  sentence  or  who  is  known  to  have  suf- 
fered a  previous  conviction  for  felony,  or  whose  prison  record  is  not  such  as  to  aflford  reasonable  prob- 
ability that  he  would,  if  released,  load  a  law-abiding  life,  or  who  has  not  served  some  fair  proportion 
of  the  time  of  his  sentence,  or  for  whom  suitable  employment  has  not  been  provided,  cannot  be 
paroled.  The  power  to  grant  paroles  is  committed  by  the  laws  of  some  States  to  the  Board  of  Pardons 
and  in  others  to  the  court. 

In  Missouri  a  person  paroled  must  appear  at  each  regular  term  of  the  court  and  satisfy  the  court 
that  he  has  complied  with  all  the  conditions  of  the  parole,  and  conducted  himself  as  a  peaceable  and 
law-abiding  citizen;  and  the  court  may  grant  an  absolute  discharge  of  the  prisoner  under  certain  cir- 
cumstances, when  satisfied  that  his  reformation  is  complete  and  he  will  not  again  violate  the  law. 
Diminution  of  sentence  for  good  conduct,  the  education  and  training  of  convicts,  their  confinement  in 
reformatory  prisons,  and  their  care  when  sick  at  the  expiration  of  their  sentence,  were  provided  for  in 
Indiana,  Maine,  North  Dakota,  Oklahoma,  and  Washington.  Opposite  opinions  are  entertained  of  the 
wi.sdoia  of  such  legislation ;  on  the  one  hand,  there  is  a  fear  that  the  severity  of  the  penal  laws  are  too 
imich  relaxed  for  the  safety  of  the  public,  and  a  belief  that  but  few  convicts  are  ever  thoroughly 
redeemed  from  their  evil  courses.  On  the  other  hand,  the  sympathies  of  many  people  are  aroused  in 
behalf  of  those  who  are  looked  upon  as  unfortunate,  with  a  strong  impulse  to  minimize  the  iniquities 
of  the  evil- disposed. 

The  United  States  Flagr.— Connecticut,  Illinois,  Michigan,  Minnesota,  and  Pennsylvania  pro- 
vided for  hoisting  and  maintaining  the  National  flag  on  school -houses  and  other  public  buildings,  and 
South  Dakota,  Minnesota,  and  Pennsylvania  made  it  unlawful  to  dishonor  it  by  its  use  for  advertise- 
ment purposes,  or  mutilating  or  defacing  it. 

Purity  of  Elections.— Connecticut,  Oklahoma,  North  Dakota.  Utah,  North  Carolina,  New 
Hampshire,  Missouri,  South  Dakota,  Indiana,  and  Kansas  adopted  the  Australian  ballot  with  more 
or  less  modification,  and  have  regulated  primaries  or  caucuses  for  the  nomination  of  oflficers,  and 
have  guarded  the  voter  against  corrupt  influences. 

Wisconsin  passed  a  statute  more  stringent  perhaps  than  almost  any  other  State  in  respect  to  the 
useof  money  by  candidates  for  office,  and  by  political  organizations.  All  organizations  for  the  pro- 
motion of  the  election  of  any  officer  must  have  a  treasurer,  to  whom  all  moneys  to  be  used  in 
defraying  the  expenses  of  candidates  supported  by  it  must  be  paid,  and  full  report  and  state- 
ments sworn  to  by  the  candidate  and  the  treasurer  must  be  filed,  showing  the  amount  of  money 
applied  to  these  purposes.  As  these  statutes  contain  provisions  framed  upon  principles  adopted 
in  such  legislation  in  other  States,  it  is  not  necessary  to  set  them  out  in  detail.  It  is  enough  to  say 
that  the  purity  of  elections  and  the  independence  of  the  voter  is  as  perfectly  assured  as  is  possible  by 
itiiy  elaborate  machinery  which  can  be  contrived. 

The  Torrens  Land  Title  System.— Illinois  passed  an  act  curing  defects  in  a  former  statute 
declared  by  the  court  to  be  unconstitutional,  adopting  the  Torrens  Land  Title  System,  and  California 
passed  an  amendatory  act  to  the  effect  that  the  original  act  shall  be  liberally  construed  by  the  court. 
Massachusetts  showed  a  disposition  favorable  to  this  system  by  providing  for  the  appointment  of  a 
committee  to  draft  aud  prepare  an  act  embodying  it,  with  directions  to  report  to  the  general  court  on . 
or  before  the  first  Wednesday  of  January  next. 

Administration  of  Justice.— Statutes  were  passed  regulating  the  administration  of  justice  in 
many  particulars.  Suits  may  be  brought  for  the  wrongful  killing  ofa  married  woman  by  the  husband 
lor  the  benefit  of  himself  and  her  children,  or  in  the  name  of  her  administrator  (Tennessee).  Hus- 
band and  wife  may  testify  for  and  against  one  another  in  divorce  proceedings  (Wyoming,  Kansas). 
The  husband  is  exempt  from  damages  arising  from  the  torts  of  his  wife  (Minnesota).  A  party 
charged  with  libel  may  publish  a  retraction  thereof  and  prove  the  same  in  litigation  of  damages 
( Pen  nsylvania,  Utah).  Contempt  of  court  not  in  presence  of  thecourt  shall  be  tried  upon  charges  duly 
preferred,  and  by  a  jury  (Kansas).  The  bodies  of  deceased  criminals  shall  be  delivered  to  medical 
colleges  (Kansas).  When  two  persons  perish  in  the  same  calamity  and  it  is  not  shown  who  died  first, 
aud  there  are  no  particular  circumstances  from  which  the  factmay  be  inferred,  survivorship  is  pre- 
sumed according  to  the  following  rules:  If  both  parties  were  tinder  fifteen  years  of  age,  the  older  is 
presumed  to  have  survived;  if  above  sixty,  the  younger;  if  one  be  under  fifteen  and  the  other  above 
sixty,  the  former;  if  both  be  over  fifteen  and  under  sixty  and  the  sexes  be  different,  the  male;  and  if 
the  sexes  be  the  same,  the  elder;  and  if  one  be  under  fifteen  or  over  sixty  and  the  other  between 
those  ages,  the  latter  13  presumed  to  have  survived  (Wyoming), 

Combinations,  confederacies,  and  conspiracies  to  intimidate  are  crimes  (Kentucky).  In  any  gift, 
grant,  devise,  or  bequest  of  real  or  personal  estate  after  July  1,  1897,  the  words  "die  without  issue, " 
or  "die  without  leaving  issue,"  or  "having  no  issue, "  or  any  words  which  infer  a  want  or  failure  of 
issue  of  any  person  in  his  lifetime  or  at  the  time  of  his  death,  or  indefinite  failure  of  issue  shall  be 
construed  a  want  or  failure  of  issue  within  the  lifetime  or  at  the  death  of  such  person  and  not  in 
definite  failure  of  issue  unless  a  contrary  intention  shall-appear  by  the  deed,  will,  orother  instrument 
« Pennsylvania).  Every  will  re -executed,  or  republished,  or  revived  by  any  codicil  shall  be  con- 
sidered to  have  been  made  at  the  time  at  which  the  same  shall  be  so  re-executed,  republished,  or 
revived  (Pennsylvania).  Abstracts  of  title  to  real  estate  certified  by  certain  parties  are  prima  facie 
evidence  of  the  facts  appearing  therein  (Idaho).  Foreign  corporations  will  not  be  permitted  to  do 
business  in  South  Carolina  unless  they  undertake  not  to  remove  actions  brought  against  them  to  the 
Federal  Court. 

In  Washington  soliciting  divorce  business  was  forbidden,  and  obligations  for  the  payment  of 
money  may  be  discharged  by  lawful  money  of  the  United  States,  notwithstanding  stipulation  there- 
in tov»ayany  particular  kind  of  money.  The  franchises  of  corporations  maybe  soldou  execution, 
and  upon  foreclosureof  mortgage  no  deficiency  judgment  shall  be  rendered,  but  the  proceeds  arising 
upon  the  sale  of  mortgaged  property  shall  satisfy  the  deot.  In  New  York  the  Supreme  Court  may 
authorize  a  trustee  to  mortgage  or  sell  the  trust  estate  whenever  it  appears  that  the  same  has  become 
so  unproductive  that  it  is  for  the  benefit  thereof  to  raise  money  forpreserving  it  by  paying  off  incum- 
brances or  improving  it,  and  proceedings  to  that  end  inagreatvariety  of  cases  are  carefully  defined. 
In  that  State,  county  judges  of  counties  having  a  population  of  not  less  than  125, 000  which  adjoin 
another  county  having  a  population  of  not  less  than  1.000,000  may  appoint  a  county  detective  with 
a  salary  of  $1.6(X)  and  expenses.  And  in  New  Jersey,  the  Chancellor  may  authorize  a  mortgage  of 
trustestates  to  raise  money  to  improve  the  same.

♦  Trust,  as  popularly  tmderstood,  and  as  here  used,  means  a  combine,  pool,  or  agreement  of  two  or  more  concerns,  \rhich  pno> 
tically  establishes  a  partial  or  complete  monopoly  with  power  to  fix  prices,  or  rates.  In  any  industry  or  group  of  allied  industries. 

t  This  list  includes  some  trusts,  such  as  the  Street  EaiJ,  the  Biscuit,  and  the  Wire  and  Cut  Nail  trusts,  which  are  not  at  thi«  tbna 
(November,  1897)  In  full  force.  As  capital  in  Buch  industries  has  become  accustomed  to  working  in  harmony,  new  agreements  are 
likely  to  be  reached  soon.  Some  trusts,  like  the  Michigan  Salt  Association,  are  renewed  every  five  years  or  at  other  regular  periods. 
Others,  like  the  Paris  Green  Combine,  come  and  go  at  irregular  intervals. 

t  When  a  trust  is  incorporated  the  amount  of  capital  reported  as  issued  !s  tisnally  taken.  When  not  Incorporated  the  aggregate 
capital  employed  in  the  allied  concerns  is  taken  as  nearly  as  it  can  be  estimated. 

§  Dividends  are  given  only  when  known.    Most  trusts,  being  only  pools,  or  agreements,  do  not  pay  dividends. 

a  Estimated. 

b  Only  typical  trusts  are  taken  in  these  industries.    Such  trusts  are  duplicated  in  many  other  cities  or  sections  of  the  eotmtry. 

C  Similar  associations  (passenger  and  freight)  have  Jurisdiction  over  the  entire  country. 

d  Similar  insurance  trusts  or  combines  exist  in  all  sections  of  the  country,  with  subdivisions  In  most  States  and  large  cities. 
These  organizations  act  together  In  fixing  rates,  etc.  Because  of  anti-compact  laws  these  trusta  are  noinliially  inactive  la  Ohio, 
AUchigan,  Kansas,  and  Nebraska, 

e  This  association  maintains  prices  of  proprietary  medicines  by  refusing  to  handle  goods  lold  to  wholesalers  who  ctrt  prices, 
Sbnilar  local  associations  cover  all  sections  of  the  United  States,  and  regulate  prices  of  most  leading  articles.  Jobbers  and  rwailera 
have  similar  combines  in  States,  counties,  and  cities, 

f  Wholesale  Grocers'  Associations  eidst  in  all  parts  of  the  country.  By  means  of  rebates,  etc.,  they  assist  the  numtifactarera  of 
sugar,  starch,  baking  powder,  and  of  hundreds  of  other  leading  articles,  in  maintaining  uniform  prices.

THE  CARPET-BAG  DEBTS  OF  THE  SOUTHERN  STATES. 

The  "carpet-bag"  debts  of  the  Southern  States,  under  which  some  of  them  are  still  suffering, 
were  created  during  the  reconstruction  period,  when  the  South  was  at  the  mercy  of  adventurers  from 
the  North  and  the  ranks  of  the  negro  population.supported  and  protected  by  the  Federal  Government 
These  burdens  on  the  helpless  people  aggregated  in  1871  some  $291,626,015,  distributed  among  the 
reconstructed  States  as  follows:  Alabama,  $52,761,917;  Arkansas,  $19,398,000;  Florida,  $15,797,- 
587;  Georgia,  $42,560,500;  Louifnana,  $40,021,734;  North  Carolina,  $34,887,464;  South  Carolina, 
$22,480,516;  Texas,  $14,930,000;  Virginia,  $47,090,866.  It  must  be  borne  in  mind  that  the  debts 
of  the  .Southern  States  contracted  from  1861  to  1866  were  repudiated  by  the  enforcement  of  the  XI Vth 
Amendment  to  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States,  so  that  the  Indebtedness  above  shown  was  due 
almost  wholly  to  ' '  carpet-bag ' '  financiering.

patent  (BMtt  ^votttintt. 


The  following  statement  has  been  revised  by  the  Patent  OflSce  for  The  Wobld  Almanac  for  1898: 

Patents  are  issued  in  the  name  of  the  United  States,  and  under  the  seal  of  the  Patent  OflSce,  to 
any  person  who  has  invented  or  discovered  any  new  and  useful  art,  machine,  manufacture,  or  com- 
position of  matter  or  any  new  and  useful  improvement  thereof,  not  known  or  used  by  others  in  this 
country  before  his  invention  or  discovery  thereof  and  not  patented  or  described  in  any  printed  pub- 
lication in  this  or  any  foreign  country,  before  his  invention  or  discovery  thereof  or  more  than  two 
years  prior  to  his  application,  and  not  in  public  use  or  on  sale  for  more  than  two  years  prior  to 
his  application,  unless  the  same  is  proved  to  have  been  abandoned;  and  by  any  person  who,  by  his 
own  industry,  genius,  efforts,  and  expense,  has  invented  and  produced  any  new  and  original  design 
for  a  manufacture,  bust,  statue,  alto-relievo,  or  bas-relief;  any  new  and  original  design  for  the  print- 
ing of  woolen,  sUk,  cotton,  or  other  fabrics;  any  new  and  original  impression,  ornament,  pattern, 
print,  or  pictuse  to  be  printed,  paintedj  cast,  or  otherwise  placed  on  or  worked  into  any  article  of 
manufacture;  or  any  new,  useful,  and  original  shape  or  configuration  of  any  article  of  manufacture, 
the  same  not  having  been  known  nor  used  by  others  before  his  invention  or  production  thereof,  nor 
patented  nor  described  in  any  printed  publication,  upon  payment  of  the  fees  required  by  law  and  other 
due  proceedings  had. 

Every  patent  contains  a  grant  to  the  patentee,  his  heirs  or  assigrns,  for  the  term  of  seventeen  years, 
of  the  exclusive  right  to  make,  use,  and  vend  the  invention  or  discovery  throughout  the  United  States 
and  the  Territories,  referring  to  the  specification  for  the  particulars  thereot 

If  it  appear  that  the  inventor,  at  the  time  of  making  his  application,  believed  himself  to  be  the 
first  inventor  or  discoverer,  a  patent  will  not  be  refused  on  account  of  the  invention  or  discovery,  or 
any  part  thereof,  having  been  known  or  used  in  any  foreign  country  before  his  invention  or  discovery 
thereof,  if  it  had  not  been  before  patented  or  described  in  any  printed  publication. 

Joint  inventors  are  entitled  to  a  joint  patent;  neither  can  claim  on§  separately.  Independent  in- 
ventors of  distinct  and  independent  improvements  in  the  same  machine  cannot  obtain  a  joint  patent 
for  their  separate  inventions ;  nor  does  the  fact  that  one  furnishes  the  capital' and  another  makes  the 
invention  entitle  them  to  make  application  as  joint  inventors;  but  in  such  case  they  may  become  joint 
patentees. 

No  person  otherwise  entitled  thereto  will  be  debarred  from  receiving  a  patent  for  his  invention  or 
discovery,  by  reason  of  its  having  been  first  patented  or  caused  to  be  patented  by  the  inventor  or  his 
legal  representatives  or  assigns  in  a  foreign  country,  unless  the  application  for  said  foreign  patent  was 
filed  more  than  seven  months  prior  to  the  filing  of  the  application  in  this  country,  in  which  case  no 
patent  shall  be  granted  in  this  country. 

APPLICATIONS. 

Applications  for  a  patent  must  be  made  in  writing  to  the  Commissioner  of  Patents.  The  applicant 
must  also  file  in  the  Patent  OflBce  a  written  description  of  the  same,  and  of  the  manner  and  process  of 
making,  constructing,  compounding,  and  using  it,  in  such  full,  clear,  concise,  and  exact  terms  as  to 
enable  any  person  skilled  in  the  art  or  science  to  which  it  appertains,  or  with  which  it  is  most  nearly 
connected,  to  make,  construct,  compound,  and  use  the  same;  and  in  case  of  a  machine,  he  must  ex- 
plain the  principle  thereof,  and  the  best  mode  in  which  he  has  contemplated  applying  that  principle, 
so  as  to  distinguish  it  from  other  inventions,  and  particularly  point  out  and  distinctly  claim  the  part, 
improvement,  or  combination  which  he  claims  as  his  invention  or  discovery.  The  specification  and 
claim  must  be  signed  by  the  inventor  and  attested  by  two  witnesses. 

When  the  nature  of  the  case  admits  of  drawings,  the  applicant  must  furnish  a  drawing  of  the  re- 
quired size,  signed  by  the  inventor  or  his  attorney  in  fact,  and  attested  by  two  witnesses,  to  be  filed  in 
the  Patent  Office.  In  all  cases  which  admit  of  representation  by  model,  the  applicant,  if  required  bj' 
the  Commissioner,  shall  furnish  a  model  of  convenient  size  to  exhibit  advantageously  the  several 
parts  of  his  invention  or  discovery. 

The  applicant  shall  make  oath  that  he  verily  believes  himself  to  be  the  original  and  first  inventor 
or  discoverer  of  the  art,  machine,  manufacture,  composition,  or  improvement  for  which  he  solicits  a 
patent;  that  he  does  not  know  and  does  not  believe  that  the  same  was  ever  before  known  or  used,  and 
shall  state  of  what  country  he  is  a  citizen.  Such  oath  may  be  made  before  any  person  within  the 
United  States  authorized  by  law  to  administer  oaths,  or,  when  the  applicant  resides  in  a  foreign  coun- 
try, before  any  minister,  charge  d'aflFaires,  consul,  or  commercial  agent  holding  commission  under  the 
Government  of  the  United  States. 

On  the  filing  of  such  application  and  the  payment  of  the  fees  required  by  law,  if,  on  such  exami- 
nation, it  appears  that  the  claimant  is  justly  entitled  to  a  patent  under  the  law,  and  that  the  same  is 
sufficiently  useful  and  important,  the  Commissioner  will  issue  a  patent  therefor. 

Every  patent  or  any  interest  therein  shall  be  assignable  in  law  by  an  instrument  in  writing ;  and  the 
patentee  or  his  assigns  or  legal  representatives  may,  in  like  manner,  grant  and  convey  an  exclusive 
right  under  his  patent  to  the  whole  or  any  specified  part  of  the  United  States. 

REISSUES. 

A  reissue  is  granted  to  the  original  patentee,  his  legal  representatives,  or  the  assignees  of  the  entire 
interest  when,  by  reason  of  a  defective  or  insufficient  specification,  or  by  reason  of  the  patentee  claim- 
ing as  his  invention  or  discovery  more  than  he  had  a  right  to  claim  as  new,  the  original  patent  is  inop- 
erative or  invalid,  provided  the  error  has  arisen  from  inadvertence,  accident,  or  mistake,  and  without 
any  fraudulent  or  deceptive  intention.  In  the  cases  of  patents  issued  and  assigned  prior  to  July  8, 
1870,  the  applications  for  reissue  may  be  made  by  the  assignees ;  but  in  the  cases  of  patents  issued  or 
assigned  since  that  date,  the  applications  must  be  made  and  the  specifications  sworn  fo  by  the  invent- 
ors, if  they  be  living. 

CAVEATS. 

A  caveat,  under  the  patent  law,  is  a  notice  given  to  the  office  of  the  caveator's  claim  as  inventor, 
in  order  to  prevent  the  grant  of  a  patent  to  another  for  the  same  alleged  invention  upon  an  application 
filed  during  the  life  of  a  caveat  without  notice  to  the  caveator. 

Any  citizen  of  the  United  States  who  has  made  a  new  invention  or  discovery,  and  desires  further 
time  to  mature  the  same,  may,  on  payment  of  a  fee  of  ten  dollars,  file  in  the  Patent  Office  a  caveat 
setting  forth  the  object  and  the  distinguishing  characteristics  of  the  invention,  and  praying  protection 
of  his  right  until  he  shaU  have  matured  his  invention.  Such  caveat  shall  be  filed  in  the  confidential 
archives  of  the  office  and  preserved  in  secrecy,  and  shall  be  operative  for  the  term  of  one  year  from 
the  filing  thereof. 

The  caveat  must  comprise  a  specification,  oath,  and,  when  the  nature  of  the  case  admits  of  it,  a 
drawing,  and,  like  the  application,  must  be  limited  to  a  single  invention  or  improvement.

Applicants  for  examination  must  be  citizens  of  the  United  States,  and  of  the  proper  age.  No  por- 
eon  using  intoxicating  liquors  to  excess  may  be  appointed.  No  discrimination  is  made  on  account  of 
sex,  color,  or  political  or  religious  opinions.  The  limitations  of  age  vary  with  the  different  services,  but 
do  not  apply  to  any  person  honorably  discharged  from  the  military  or  naval  service  of  the  United  States 
by  reason  of  disability  resulting  from  wounds  or  sickness  incurred  in  the  line  of  duty.  Such  persons 
are  preferred  in  appointment  under  Section  1,764,  R.  S.,  and  certified  to  appointing  officers  before  all 
others. 

EXAMINATIONS. 

The  applicants  to  enter  the  services  designated  are  examined  as  to  their  relative  capacity  and  fit- 
ness. For  ordinary  clerical  places  in  the  Customs,  Departmental  .and  Internal  Revenue  Services  the 
examination  is  confined  to  orthography,  penmanship,  copying,  letter-writing,  and  simple  arithmetic. 
Patent  examiners  are  examined  in  physics,  technics,  mathematics,  chemistry,  and  mechanical  drawing 
Meat  inspectors  are  examined  in  letter-writing,  veterinary  anatomy  and  physiology,  veterinary 
pathology,  and  meat  inspection  One  of  the  practical  tests  for  post-office  and  railway  mail  clerks  is  an 
exercise  in  reading  manuscript  addresses.  Specimen  sets  of  questions  will  be  furnished  by  the  Com- 
mission upon  reqnest.  All  examinations  relate  as  nearly  as  possible  to  the  duties  to  be  performed,  and, 
wherever  practicable,  include  experience  and  practical  tests  No  applicant  is  admitted  to  an  examina- 
tion in  any  one  of  the  different  trades,  such  as  those  in  the  Government  Printing  Office,  unless  he  nas 
had  five  years'  experience  in  his  trade,  one  year  of  which  must  have  been  as  a  journeyman.  This  in- 
formation is  obtained  by  personal  questions  relating  to  the  applicant's  experience  at  his  trade  fl.nd  tlie 
certificates  of  persons  who  have  employed  him.  No  one  is  certified  for  appointment  whose  standing 
in  any  examination  is  less  than  70  per  centum  of  complete  proficiency,  except  applicants  claiuiiug 
military  or  naval  preference  under  Section  1,754,  B.  S.,  who  need  obtain  but  66.  The  law  also  pre- 
scribes competitive  examinations  for  promotion  in  the  service.  A  certificate  is  given  to  each  person 
examined,  stating  whether  he  passed  or  failed  to  pass.  For  positions  in  the  classified  service  where 
technical  qualifications  are  needed  special  examinations  are  held.  In  the  Departmental  Service  they 
are  held  for  tha  State  Department,  the  Pension,  Patent,  and  Signal  Offies.  Geological  nud  Coast  Sla- 
veys, Enginear  Department  at  large,  etc.  For  places  which  do  not  require  technical  qualification  tlio 
number  of  applicants  is  u&ually  excessive,  and  only  those  who  attain  high  grades  have  a  good  ciiauce  for 
appointment.

any  position  subject  to  competitive  examination  except  for  just  cause  and  upon  written  charges  filed 
with  the  head  of  the  Department  or  other  appointing  officer,  and  of  which  the  accused  shall  have  full 
notice  and  an  opportunity  to  make  defence.

From  an  examination  of  the  above  table  it  will  be  seen  that  of  the  60, 000, 000  ounces  of  silver  pro- 
duced in  the  United  States  during  the  calendar  year  1893,  about  27,600,000  ounces  were  extracted 
from  milling  ores— that  is,  silver  ores  proper— while  24,700,000  ounces  came  from  lead  ores,  and 
7,600,000  ounces  from  copper  ores. 

It  would  appear,  therefore,  that  less  than  one-half  of  the  silver  product  of  the  United  States  Is 
derived  from  mines  producing  silver  ores  proper,  and  that  considerably  more  than  one-half  of  the 
entire  silver  output  of  the  United  States  is  an  incidental  product  from  the  smelting  of  lead  and  copper 
ores,  although  this  Incidental  product  is  frequently  more  valuable  than  the  other  metals  contained.

' '  Fineness, ' '  the  term  used  in  treating  of  bullion  mints  coinage,  and  money,  indicates  the  propor- 
tion of  pure  metal  contained  in  a  piece  of  gold  or  .silver.  Fineness  is  expressed  in  thousandths,  that  is, 
pure  metal  is  1,000.  United  States  coin  is  900-1000  fine,  or  decimally.  .900  fine.  Fineness  is  esti- 
mated by  jewelers  and  workers  in  the  precious  metals  by  "carats,"  pure  metal  being  24  carats. 
Thus,  22  carats,  the  British  standard  for  gold  coins,  is  22-24  carats,  or  decimally,  .916%  fine. 

' '  Mint  Mark  • '  means  the  letter  or  mark  on  the  coin  designating  the  mint  at  which  it  was  struck, 
as  "  S. , "  for  San  FrancLsco ;  "  C.  C. , "  for  Carson  City :  "  O. , "  for  New  Orleans.  The  coins  struck  at 
the  parent  mint  in  Philadelphia  bear  no  mint  mark.  —Evans'  '  ''History  of  thtt  United  States  MinL ' '

UNITED    STATES    MONETARY    DEFINITIONS. 

\_Frorm  United  States  Treasury  Circular  No.  123.J 

SIXTEEN  TO  ONE. 

The  phrase  "  16  to  1.' '  as  applied  to  coinage,  means  that  the  mint  value  of  sixteen  ounces  of  silver 
shall  be  equal  to  the  mmt  value  of  one  ounce  of  gold ;  that  is,  that  sixteen  ounces  of  silver  shall  be 
coinable  into  as  many  silver  dollars  as  one  ounce  of  gold  is  coinable  into  standard  silver  dollars. 

STANDARD  BULLION. 

Standard  bullion  contains  900  parts  of  pure  gold  or  pure  silver  and  100  parts  of  copper  alloy. 

The  coining  value  of  an  ounce  of  pure  gold  is  $20. 67183,  a«id  the  coining  value  of  an  ounce  of 
standard  gold  is  $18. 60465. 

The  coining  value  in  standard  silver  dollars  of  an  ounce  of  pure  silver  is  $1.2929,  and  the  coining 
value  of  an  ounce  of  standard  silver  is  $1. 1636. 

SEIGNIORAGK 

This  term,  as  used  in  the  United  States,  means  the  profit  arising  from  the  coinage  of  bullion.  The 
Government  does  not  purchase  gold  bullion,  but  coins  it  on  private  account.  There  is  no  profit  from 
the  coinage  of  gold  bullion,  the  face  value  of  gold  coins  being  the  same  as  their  bullion  value ;  but  at 
the  present  ratio  of  16  to  1,  the  face  value  of  the  silver  dollar  is  greater  than  its  bullion  value ;  there- 
fore, when  silver  bullion  is  purchased  ana  coined  into  dollars  there  is  a  profit  arising  from  such  coin- 
age, the  amount  of  which  depends  upon  the  price  paic*  for  the  bullion.  For  example,  there  are  STIM 
grauiB  of  pure  silver  In  a  dollar,  and  there  are  480  grains  of  pure  silver  In  a  fine  ounce.     The  coinage 


Banking  Statistics, 


157 


UNITED  STATES  MONETARY  DEFINITIONS— OmfinMcd. 


value  of  a  fine  ounce  is  therefore  $1. 2929—.  If  the  fine  ounce  can  be  purchased  for  70  cents,  the  profit 
of  its  coinage  (the  seigniorage)  is  $0.5929—,  and  the  profit  on  the  37H4  grains  of  pure  silver  in  the 
single  dollar  is  $0.4586—,  which  is  the  difference  between  the  actual  cost  of  the  bullion  in  the  dollar 
and  the  nominal  value  of  the  coin. 

The  silver  purchased  by  the  Government  is  carried  on  the  books  of  the  Treasury  at  its  actual  cost, 
and  the  seigniorage  is  declared  on  the  coinage  of  each  month  and  paid  into  the  Treasury. 

COINAGE  OF  GOLD. 

In  the  United  States  there  is  free  and  unlimited  coinage  of  gold ;  that  Is,  standard  gold  bullion  may 
be  deposited  at  the  mints  in  any  amount,  to  be  coined  for  the  benefit  of  the  depositor,  without  charge 
for  comage ;  but  when  other  than  standard  bullion  is  received  for  coinage  a  charge  is  made  for  parting, 
or  for  refining,  or  for  copper  alloy,  as  the  case  may  be.  Refining  is  the  elimination  from  the  bullion  of 
all  base  metals.  Parting  is  the  separation  of  any  silver  which  may  be  contained  in  the  bullion.  The 
charges  for  these  operations  vary  according  to  the  actual  expenses.  When  copper  is  added  for  alloy 
a  charge  of  2  cents  per  ounce  is  made  for  the  amount  actually  added.  The  depositor  receives  in  gold 
coin  the  full  value  of  the  gold  in  his  bullion,  less  such  charges  as  are  indicated  above. 

The  mints  may  lawfully  refuse  to  receive  gold  bullion  of  less  value  than  one  hundred  dollars,  or 
when  it  is  too  base  for  coinage ;  but  in  practice  deposits  of  gold  bullion  are  accepted  without  regard  to 
amounts,  and  rejected  only  when  too  base  for  coinage. 

COINAGE  OF  SILVER. 

Under  existing  law  in  the  United  States  subsidiary  silver  and  standard  silver  dollars  are  coined 
only  on  Government  account.  They  are  coined  from  bullion  purchased  by  the  Government  and  the 
profits  of  such  coinage  belong  to  the  Government  There  is  at  present  no  authority  for  the  purchase 
oH  bullion  for  the  coinage  of  standard  silver  dollars,  but,  if  necessary,  sufficient  bullion  may  be  pur- 
chased to  maintain  the  stock  of  subsidiary  silver. 

The  Government  is  still  coining  standard  silver  dollars  from  the  bullion  purchased  under  the  act 
of  July  14,  1890.  The  amount  of  bullion  on  hand  November  1,  1893,  when  the  purchasing  clause  of 
that  act  was  repealed,  was  140,699,852.67  fine  ounces,  costing  $126,768,280,  the  coining  value  of 
which  was  $181,914,961.  Between  November  1,  1893,  and  September  1,  1896,  there  were  coined 
from  this  bullion  15, 169, 491  standard  silver  dollars,  of  which  $10,410,528  represent  the  cost  of  the 
bullion  coined,  and  are  held  in  the  Treasury  for  the  redemption  of  Treasury  notes  of  1890,  while  the 
remainder,  $4,758,433,  constitute  the  gain  or  seigniorage,  and,  being  the  property  of  the  United 
States,  have  been  paid  into  the  Treasury  to  be  used  like  other  available  funds. 

The  seigniorage  is  an  addition  to  the  volume  of  money  in  the  country,  while  the  stiver  dollars 
representing  the  cost  of  the  bullion  are  not,  since  they  are  only  paid  out  in  redemption  of  the  Treasury 
notes  of  1890,  whereupon  the  latter  are  cancelled  and  retired,  as  prescribed  by  the  act  of  July  14,1890. 

Section  3,584  of  the  Revised  Statutes  of  the  United  States  provides  VaaX  UO  foreign  coiua  stiall  be  a 
legal  tender  m  the  United  States.

*  Not  given  in  1890.       t  Reports  discontinued  after  1885.       t  Includes  Central  and  South  America 
for  1889. 

As  the  reports  for  British  North  American  Provinces  and  for  Mexico  have  been  discontinued  since 
1885  by  the  Treasury  Department,  the  figures  here  represented  only  cover  five  years  of  the  decade. 
An  estimate  based  upon  the  Immigration  oi  the  years  from  1881  to  1886,  inclusive,  would  give  785,604 
to  British  North  America  for  the  decade  from  1881  to  1890,  and  3,826  to  Mexico,  making  the  aggre- 
gate for  America  817,563,  Instead  of  422,848. 

Mulhall  estimates  the  number  of  individuals  who  emigrated  from  Europe  in  73  years,  1816  to 
1888,  at  27,206,000.     Of  these,  15.000,000  came  to  the  United  States.

The  ocean  and  lake  coasts  of  the  United  States  are  picketed  with  the  stations  of  the  Life-Saving 
Service  attached  to  the  United  States  Treasury  Department.  Sumner  I.  Kimball  is  general  superin- 
tendent, with  headquarters  at  Washington,  and  there  is  a  corps  of  inspectors,  superintendents, 
station  keepers,  and  crews,  extending  over  the  entire  coast  line,  together  with  a  Board  on  Life-Saving 
Appliances,  composed  of  experts  selected  from  the  Revenue  Marine  Service,  the  Army,  the  Dife-Sav- 
ing  Service,  and  civilians. 

At  the  close  of  the  last  fiscal  year  the  life-saving  establishment  embraced  259  stations,  189  being 
on  the  Atlantic  coast,  55  on  the  lakes,  14  on  the  Pacific  coast,  and  1  at  the  falls  of  the  Ohio,  Louis- 
ville, Ky. 

In  the  following  table  the  statistics  of  the  service  for  the  fiscal  year  ending  June  30,  1897,  and 
since  introduction  of  present  system  in  1871  to  June  30,  1897,  are  stated  separately:

In  addition  to  the  foregoing,  there  were  305  casualties  to  smaller  craft,  such  as  sailboats,  row- 
boats,  etc.,  on  which  there  were  706  persons,  of  whom  695  were  saved  and  11  lost.  In  addition 
to  persons  saved  from  vessels,  there  were  74  others  rescued  who  had  fallen  from  wharves,  piers,  etc. , 
and  who  would  probably  have  perished  without  the  aid  of  the  life-saving  crews.  The  cost  of  the  main- 
tenance of  the  service  during  the  year  was  $1,473,943. 34.

Estimate  for  1897  by  the  Department  of  Agriculture:)  Area,  695,000  acres;  product,  403,004,000 
pounds;  value,  $24,258,000;  yield  per  acre,  678  pounds. 

The  number  of  cigarettes  manufactured  in  the  United  States  in  1890-91  was,  according  to  the 
Internal  Revenue  returns,  2,877,799,440.  The  value  of  domestic  leaf  tobacco  exported  from  the 
United  States,  year  ending  June  30,  1895,  was  $25,622,776;  value  of  leaf  tobacco  imported  same 
period,  $14,745,720. 

The  product  of  tobacco  in  Europe  is  nearly  equal  in  quantity  to  the  average  production  of  the 
United  States.  Neumann-Spallart  has  usually  made  it  about  500,000,000  pounds.  Austria-Hungary 
produces  about  one- third  of  it,  Russia  one-tenth,  Germany  nearly  as  much,  France  about  35, 000, 000 
pounds,  and  the  other  countries  a  small  quantity.  Europe  can  easily  produce  all  the  tobacco  required, 
but  two  rca.sons  are  prominent  for  importation  of  tobaccx)  from  this  country.  It  Is  very  cheap,  and  ii 
is  very  desirable  for  mixing  with  and  fortifying  European  leaf.

AREA  OF  THE  WORLD'S  COAL-FIELDS,  IN  SC^TJARE  MILES. 

China  and  Japan,  200,000;  United  States,  194,000;  India,  35,000;  Russia,  27,000;  Great  Britain, 
9,000;  Germany,  3,600;  France,  1,800;  Belgium,  Spain,  and  other  countries,  1,400.    Total,  471,800. 

The  coal-fields  of  China,  Japan,  Great  Britain,  Germany,  Russia,  and  India  contain  apparently 
303,000,000,000  tons,  which  is  enough  for  700  years  at  present  rate  of  consumption.  If  to  the  above 
be  added  the  coal-fields  in  the  United  States,  Canada,  and  other  countries,  the  supply  will  be  found 
ample  for  1,000  years.  Improved  machinery  has  greatly  increased  the  yield  per  miner,  and  thus 
produced  a  fall  in  price  to  the  advantage  of  all  industries.

2,050,000.     Total,  467,622,973. 

The  tin  production  of  the  world  in  1895  was  estimated  by  the  U.  S.  Geological  Survey  at  83,387 
tons  of  2,24(5  pounds,  of  which  more  than  half  was  produced  in  the  Straits  Settlements  or  the  Malay 
Peninsular.  The  output  in  the  United  States  was  practically  nil.  The  production  of  zinc  in  the  world 
in  1896  was  421, 313  metric  tons.

The  proposed  south  terminal  station  at  Boston  will  be  mnch  the  largest  in  the  world,  having:  s  train  shed  650  feet  wide  and  710 
feet  long;,  with  a  roof  area  of  481,500  feet,  and  covering  28  tracks.  The  general  scheme  of  rebuilding  the  Grand  Central  station  in 
New  York  contemplates  the  consolidation  of  the  passenger  and  baggage  business  of  the  three  railroads  (New  York  Central,  New 
Haven,  and  Harlem)  in  a  general  waiting-room,  with  the  necessary  auxiliary  rooms  and  a  general  outgoing  baggage-room.  Farther 
than  this,  the  office  capacity  of  the  building  will  be  greatly  increased  by  the  erection  of  additional  stories.  The  nnjon  waiting-room 
or  rotunda,  when  completed,  will  be  100  ft.  wide  x  200  ft.  long  and  npwSrd  of  60  ft. high.  This  is  said  to  be  the  largest  waiting- 
room  in  the  world.  Some  comparative  figures  follow:  General  Vaiting-room  proposed.  South  Terminal  station,  Boston,  66  ft.  wide  x

In  making  a  comparison  between  English  and  American  trains,  certain  conditions  must  be  taken  Into  consideration.  In  the 
former  instance  the  average  weight  of  the  train  making  the  record  between  London  and  Aberdeen  in  August,  1895,  was  between  106 
and  120  tons.  The  "Empire  State  Express  "  in  the  record  of  September,  1895 — New  York  to  Buffalo — ^was  similar  in  make-up  to 
the  train  that  made  the  English  record,  but  weighed  250  tons,  a  vast  difference  and  necessarily  an  important  factor  in  speed.  Lon-

(b)  Time  taken  at  undefined  points  while  running  between  these  stations. 

The  fastest  time  on  record  was  made  by  the  "  Empire  State  Express"  on  the  New  York  Central  and  Hudson  River  Railroad,  May 
11, 1893,  in  a  run  of  one  mile  from  Crittenden  west,  which  was  made  in  thirty-two  seconds,  being  equivalent  to  112  1-2  miles  an 
hour. 

The  fastest  time  on  record  for  a  distance  of  over  440  miles  was  made  by  the  Lake  Shore  and  Michigan  Southern  Railroad  from 
Chicago  to  Buffalo,  in  October,  1895,  as  noted  in  above  table. 

The  fastest  long-distance  run  less  than  440  miles  was  on  the  New  York  Central  Railroad,  September  11, 1895,  from  New  York 
City  to  Buffalo,  436  1-2 miles,  in  407  minutes  actual  time.  Average  speed  ^^aintained,  64  1-3  miles  aa  hour,  with  two  stops  and  28 
slow-ups,  as  noted  in  above  table. 

The  fastest  regular  trains  in  the  United  States,  for  a  shorter  distance,  are  believed  to  be  the  New  York  Central  "Empire  State 
Express,"  between  New  York  and  Albany,  143  miles  in  160  minutes  (regular  also  New  York  to  Buffalo,  440  miles  in  489  minutes, 
excluding  stops,  an  average  of  53.98  miles  an  hour),  and  those  between  Washington  and  Baltimore,  on  the  Baltimore  and  Ohio 
Railroad,  40  miles  in  45  minutes,  a  speed  of  53.33  miles  an  hour.  The  run  from  Washington  to  New  York,  225.3  miles,  is  made  in  6 
hours.  Deducting  12  minutes  for  the  Jersey  City  Ferry  and  10  minutes  for  the  Canton  Ferry,  the  rate  of  speed  is  48 .6  miles  per  hour. 
The  "  Congressional  Limited,"  on  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad,  makes  the  run  in  5  hours  5  minutes,  but  the  distance  is  227  miles. 

Long  runs  without  stops  are  made  in  England  by  the  Great  Western  Railway  from  London  to  Exeter  (194  miles)  by  the 
famous  "  Flying  Dutchman,"  in  3  hours  43  minutes,  or  53.4  miles  per  hour.  Also  from  London  to  Bath,  107  1-4  miles,  in  54.9  miles 
an  hour. 

Fast  running  train  on  Philadelphia  and  Reading  route  (July  2, 1897) — Camden  to  Atlantic  City,  55.5  miles,  In  48  minutes ;  average 
speed,  69 .35  miles  per  hour. 

The  quickest  run  between  Jersey  City  and  Washington,  231  miles,  was  made  on  the  Central  Railroad  of  New  Jersey,  March  2 
1897(by  a  special  train,  bearing  Vice-President-elect  Hobart  and  party),  in  4  hours  8  minutes,  making  the  running  time.  Including 
"  slow-ups  "  for  taking  water,  changing  engines,  etc.,  60  miles  an  hour.  This  beat  the  time  of  the  "  Aunt  Jack  "  train,  made  by  the 
Madison  Square  Theatre  Company,  March  10,  1890,  which  was  4  hours  18  minutes,  each  way,  going  and  returning. 

The  Jarrett  and  Palmer  special  theatrical  train,  Jersey  City  to  San  Francisco,  June,  1876,  made  the  fastest  tune  between  the  two 
oceans — 3  days  T  hoors  89  minutes  16  seconds.

New  Yoek  Canals. — ^The  whole  number  of  tons  of  freight  carried  upon  the  State  canals  during  the  season  of  1896  was  3,714,894, 
of  which  the  Erie  Canal  carried  2,742,438  ;  Champlain,  802,510;  Oswego,  57,245 ;  Black  River,  57,953;  Cayuga  and  Seneca,  64,739. 
The  tonnage  was  214,580  tons  in  excess  of  that  of  1895.  The  increase  of  tonnage  on  wheat  over  1896  was  128,607  tons;  on  rye,  77,060 
toai;  on  barley,  29,691  tons;  on  oats,  103,434  tons,  and  on  apples,  21,666  tons. 

SuKZ  Canal. — The  Suez  Canal  is  ninety-two  miles  long  and  cost  $102,750,000.  One  thousand  four  hundred  and  dfty-eight  ships, 
of  4,045,238  tons  net,  passed  through  the  Suez  Canal  during  the  first  six  months  of  1897,  yielding  $7,437,975  in  dues.  As  to  the 
nationality  of  the  vessels,  the  British  were  908,  German  161,'French  101,  Dutch  106,  Austro-Hungarian  37,  Italian  39,  Norwegian  28, 
Turkish  4,  Spanish  27,  Russian  19,  Egyptian  3,  Japanese  18,  American  1,  Chinese  2,  Danish  2,  Mexican  1. 

Manchestbr  Canal. — A  statement  of  the  traffic  for  the  year  1896]shows  a  total  tonnage  of  1,609,658 — 944,558  of  which  wer« 
Imported  and  665,100  were  exported.  In  1896  the  total  was  1,087,443  tons,  of  which  692,581  tons  were  imported  and  494,862 
tons  were  exported.  The  chief  articles  of  Import  in  1896  were  as  follows,  in  tons  :  Timber,  179,869  ;  paper  and  paper-making 
materials,  95,478 ;  dye  woods,  18,948;  pig  iron,  66,129 ;  manufactured  iron,  22,980;  iron  ores  and  pyrites,  44,427 ;  American  cotton, 
44,409;  Egyptian  cotton,  22,419 ;  grain,  76,265;  flour,  meal,  etc.,  31,968;  foodstuffs  (not  described),  14,334;  fruit  (dried),  5,091; 
fruit  (green),  27,137  ;  sugar,  23,131 ;  tea,  2,267  ;  oil  in  barrels  (chiefly  from  New  York),  17,449  tons. 

Baltic  Canal.— Also  known  as  the  "North  Sea  and  Baltic  "  and  "  Kiel "  Canal.  During  the  year  ending  June  30, 1896,  16,834 
vessels  of  1,505,983  tons  passed  through  from  one  sea  to  the  other,  the  receipts  and  expenditures  amounting  to  about  $200,000.  The 
canal  is,  of  course,  a  waterway  of  great  strategical  importance  for  the  Imperial  fleets.  It  permits  the  German  naval  forces  to 
concentrate  themselves  either  in  one  sea  or  the  otiier  in  a  very  few  hours. 

Panama  Canal. — The  canal  haa  been  reorganized  under  the  corporate  name  of  Compagnie  Nouvelle  du  Canal  de  Panama  (the 
New  Panama  Canal  Company).  The  new  company  has  not  any  governmental  character,  but  is  organized  under  the  general  laws  of 
France  by  the  representatives  of  financial  Institutions  of  alleged  unquestioned  strength  and  powerful  influence,  with  a  capital  stock  of 
66,000,000  francs,  and  Is  not  inviting  any  outside  financial  aid,  but  nas  conducted  with  its  own  resources  the  great  undertaking,  and 
demonstrating  the  success  of  the  pr.ictical  questions  involved  before  public  aid  Is  again  Invited.  The  worlc  of  constructing  and 
rebuilding  the  canal  has  been  carried  on,  and  a  large  force  of  men  has  been  engaged  upon  the  work  during  the  past  two  years,  under 
the  direction  of  eminent  engineers.    At  present  the  chief  work  is  being  done  on  the  cutting  of  the  Culebra  Hi  11 . 

It  is  anticipated  that  the  canal  will  be  completed.  It  is  thought  that  $20,000,000  more  may  finish  the  work.  The  distance 
between  the  two  oceans  is  45  miles.  Of  this  twelve  miles  on  the  Atlantic  coast  and  three  miles  upon  the  Pacific  coast  are  approach- 
ing completion. 

NicABAOUA  Canal  was  projected  to  connect  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  oceans,  using  the  waters  of  Lake  Nicaragua.  Total 
distance  from  ocean  to  ocean,  1694  miles;  depth  of  canal,  30  feet;  least  width  at  bottom,  100  feet;  time  transit  from  ocean  to  ocean, 
23  hours;  length  of  Lake  Nicaragua,  110  miles;  average  width,  40  miles;  surface  area,  about  2,600  square  miles;  area  of  watershed 
of  lake,  about  8,000  square  miles. 

From  New  York  to  San  Francisco  by  water,  around  Cape  Horn,  the  distance  at  present  Is  15,660  miles;  by  the  Nicaragua  Canal 
the  distance  between  the  same  points  will  be  4,907  miles,  a  saving  of  10,763  miles.  The  distances  in  statute  nules  from  New  York  to

janCtetr  States  JForestrg  Statisticfi, 

(Corrected  for  this  year' s  Ai.manac  by  the  Chief  of  the  Forestry  Division,  Department  of  Agriculture. ) 

FOKEST  ABKA. 

Total  forest  area  in  the  United  States  is  estimated  at  round  495, 000, 000  acres,  or  26  per  cent  of  total 
area.    Alaska  and  Indian  reservations  are  not  included. 

The  present  annual  requirements  for  consumption  of  forest  products  in  the  United  States  are, 
approximately,  over  24,000,000,000  cubic  feet,  made  up  of  the  following  items:  Lumber  market 
and  manufactures,  5, 000, 000, 000  cubic  feet:  railroad  construction,  600, 000, 000  cubic  feet ;  charcoal, 
250,000,000  cubic  feet:  fences,  500,000,000  cubic  feet;  fuel,  18,000,000.000  cubic  feet;  mining 
timber,  150, 000, 000  cubic  feet. 

At  {he  present  rate  of  cutting,  the  remainder  of  forest  land  in  the  United  States  cannot  long  meet 
the  enormous  demands  on  its  resources.  Of  the  two  most  important  timbers  for  building  purposes,  the 
merchantable  White  Pine  of  the  Northwest  and  of  New  England  is  practically  gone,  very  little  re- 
maining, and  there  remains  of  the  merchantable  Long- leaf  Pine  of  the  South  only  about  1,500,000,000 
cubic  feet.  The  valuable  Ash  will  probably  be  the  first  to  be  exhausted.  Walnut  and  Tulip  trees  are 
also  on  the  wane. 

Forest  fires  are  estimated  to  destroy  values  of  about  $12,000,000  annually,  but  during  the  year 
1894  that  amount  appears  to  have  been  lost  in  Minnesota  and  Wisconsin  alone. 

FOBEST  PBESEEVATION. 

For  the  preservation  of  the  forests,  the  State  of  New  York  first  instituted  a  Forest  Commission  In 
1885.  Several  radical  changes  have  been  made  in  the  law,  which  now  provides  for  a  ' '  Commission 
of  Fisheries,  Game,  and  Forests,"  to  which  is  delegated  the  enforcement  of  the  fish  and  game  laws, 
the  care  of  the  Adirondack  Park  and  the  State  Forest  Preserve.  The  Legislature  of  1897  authorized 
the  purchase  of  lands  in  the  Adirondacks  as  an  addition  to  the'Park  and  Forest  Reserve  to  the  amount 
of  $1,000,000.  The  States  of  Maine,  New  Hampshire,  Pennsylvania,  and  Wisconsin  have  also 
special  commissions  of  their  forestry  laws.  The  Pennsylvania  Legislature  of  1897  provided  for  the 
purchase  of  three  forest  reserves  oi  not  less  than  40,000  acres  each;  and  the  Wisconsin  Assembly 
appointed  a  commission  to  formulate  and  recommend  forest  legislation.  Minnesota  has  probably  the 
best  forest  fire  law  of  any  State,  with  a  Fire  Warden  as  executive  officer.  In  New  Jersey  and  North 
Carolina  the  Geological  Survey  is  specially  charged  with  forestry  interests. 

A  National  organization  known  as  the  American  Forestry  Association  (formerly  Congress) ,  com- 
posed of  delegates  from  all  the  States,  meets  annually.  The  fifteenth  annual  meeting  was  held  at 
Washington,  D.  C,  in  December,  1897.  F.  W.  Newell,  Washington,  D.  C. ,  is  Corresponding  Secretary. 
Local  or  State  Associations  have  been  formed  in  Colorado,  Ohio,  New  York,  Pennsylvania,  Kentucky, 
Minnesota,  Texas,  South  Carolina,  North  Dakota,  Wisconsin,  and  New  Jersey. 

By  act  of  March  3,  1891,  the  President  is  authorized  to  make  public  forest  reservations.  Seven- 
teen such,  comprising  17, 500, 000  acres,  were  established  in  Colorado,  New  Mexico,  California,  Ari- 
zona, Wyoming,  Oregon.  Washington,  previous  to  1897.  On  February  22,  1897,  President  Cleve- 
land proclaimed  13  additional  reserves,  with  a  total  area  of  21,379, 840  acres. 

These  reservations  were  made  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  committee  of  the  National  Academy 
of  Sciences  after  thoroughly  investigating  ihe  subject  at  the  request  of  the  President.  The  Sundry 
Civil  bill  which  passed  Congress  June  4,  1897,  temporarily  suspended  the  reservations  of  February 
22,  until  March  1,  1898,  and  ordered  their  survey  under  the  direction  of  the  Director  of  the  Geolog- 
ical Survey,  appropriating  $150,000  therefor.  The  bill  provides  that  lands  more  suitable  for  agri- 
culture than  for  forestry  shall  be  permanently  restored  to  the  public  domain.  It  also  authorizes  the 
Secretary  of  the  Interior  to  formulate  such  rules  and  regulations  for  the  care  and  management  of  the 
forest  reservations  as  may  in  his  judgment  be  necessary. 

Aeboe  Day. 

The  individual  States  have  striven  to  encourage  tree-planting  by  appointing  a  certain  day  in  the 
year,  to  be  known  as  Arbor  Day,  for  the  voluntary  planting  of  trees  by  the  people.  The  following 
States  and  Territories  have  since  then,  by  legislative  enactment  or  otherwise,  established  an  annual 
Arbor  Day:  Alabama,  Arizona,  California,  Colorado,  Connecticut,  Florida,  Georgia,  Idaho,  Illinois, 
Indiana,  Iowa,  Kansas,  Kentucky,  Louisiana,  Maine,  Maryland,  Massachusetts,  Michigan,  Min- 
nesota, Mississippi,  Montana,  Missouri,  Nebraska,  Nevada,  New  Hampshire,  New  Jersey,  New 
Mexico,  New  York,  North  Carolina,  North  Dakota,  Ohio,  Oklahoma,  Oregon,  Pennsylvania,  Rhode 
Island,  South  Dakota,  .Tennessee,  Texas,  Utah,  Vermont,  Virginia,  West  Virginia,  Wisconsin, 
Wyoming— 44  in  all ;  in  twenty-one  States,  by  act  of  legislature ;  iu  six  States,  as  legal  holidays ; 
in  five  as  holidays  for  schools.      (See  Legal  Holidays. )

202        Building  and  Loan  Associations  in  the  United  States^ 

IN  THE  UNITED  STATES. 
(Statistics  compiled  by  the  United  States  Commissioner  of  Labor. ) 
THicfoUowlngr  is  a  summary  of  the  Statistics  of  Building  and  Loan  Associations  in  the  United 
•tales,  compiled  by  Carroll  D.  Wright,  United  States  Commissioner  of  Labor,  the  report  having  been 
made  for  1893-94.  These  associations  are  known  by  various  names,  but  the  principle  underlying  them 
la  the  same.  In  some  of  the  States  they  are  called  "building  and  loan  associations,"  in  others 
" cooperative  banks, "  in  others  "building and  saving  associations,"  etc.  The  report  comprehends 
every  state  in  the  Union  except  Vermont,  in  which  there  is  only  one  asspciatlon.  The  distribution  of 
these  associations,  by  States,  is  shown  as  follows:

fli  Associations  not  reporting,  local  1.326,  national  68.  total  1,394. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  facts  shown  by  the  report  relates  to  the  age  of  the  associations.  While 
bnllding  and  loan  associations  had  their  birth  in  the  decade  of  years  from  1840  to  1860,  with,  perhaps, 
here  and  there  one  prior  to  the  first  date  named,  the  report  shows  that  the  average  age  of  all  the 
associations  is  but  6.2  years,  the  local  associations  having  an  average  age  of  6.3  years,  and  the 
nationals  an  average  of  only  2.5.  Of  the  locals  2,394  are  under  5  years  of  age,  2,163  are  5  years  or 
under  10  years  of  age,  and  589  are  10  years  or  under  15  years  of  age,  making  a  total  of  6,146  associa- 
tions out  of  the  whole  number  under  15  years  of  age.  There  are  but  433  over  16  years  of  age.  These 
figures  certainly  .show  that  the  building  and  loan  associations  of  the  country  are  entirely  modern 
Institutions  and  have  reached  their  great  proportions  during  the  last  ten  or  fifteen  years.  This,  la 
connection  with  the  fact  that  they  have  net  assets  of  over  $450,000  000,  have  iiade  total  proiicsor 
more  than  $80,000,000,  have  helped  to  secure  probably  over  400  000  homes,  and  are  semi-banking 
Institutions  conducted  by  ordinary  men  not  trained  as  bankers,  but  yet  have  met  with  remarkably  few 
losses,  shows  conclusively  the  strong  hold  which  building  and  loau  associations  have  takea  upon  the 
public. —Commissioner  Wright.

BDILDING  AND  LOAN  ASSOCIATIONS- Cbnimued. 


RETURNS  FROM  LARGEST  STATES  IN  1893  AND  1896-96, 

There  have  been  secured  from  fourteen  States,  whose  laws  require  returns  from  building  and  loan 
associations  to  be  made  to  State  officials,  data  for  1895-96,  covering  some  of  the  most  important  facts 
regarding  such  associations.  It  seems  fair  to  assume  that  these  States  are  properly  representative  of 
the  conditions  for  the  whole  country,  as  they  contained  76  per  cent  of  all  the  building  and  loan 
associations  in  tbe  United  States,  the  facts  concerning  which,  for  their  respective  fiscal  years  ending

The  work  of  the  Prison  Association  of  New  York  is  as  follows: 

1st.  To  improve  our  prison  system,  so  that,  by  better  discipline  In  penal  institutions,  criminals  may 
be  reformed,  and  thus  society  protected  against  their  depredations. 

2d.  To  improve  the  condition  of  our  county  jails;  many  of  them  are  to-day  an  offence  to  humanity 
and  a  stigma  upon  Christian  civilization. 

3d.  To  assist  ex -convicts  who  are  struggling  to  reform,  and  yet  who  find  the  forces  of  society  opposed 
to  them  and  the  ranks  of  labor  closed  to  them. 

4th.  To  succor  those  who  are  unjustly  arrested,  and  though  themselves  Ignorant  of  the  law's  ways, 
are  unable  to  secure  legal  counsel. 

5th.  To  counsel  and  otherwise  a.ssist  families  who  are,  by  the  criminal  course  of  some  supporting 
member,  left  to  the  bitter  struggle  of  poverty  and  the  added  burden  of  disgrace. 

6th.  To  provide  wholesome  reading  matter  for  prisoners  and  to  secure  proper  spiritual  and  moral 
instruction  in  the  penal  institutions  where  it  does  not  exist  already. 

Subscriptions  to  membership  and  donations  of  money  are  solicited.  The  pajTnent  of  $500  con- 
stitutes a  life  patron  and  $100  an  honorary  life  member.  Annual  membership  by  payment  of  $5

Of  the 82, 329  prisoners  (confined  in  penitentiaries,  county  jails,  and  juvenile  reformatories)  in  the 
United  States  in  1890,  there  were  57,310  of  purely  white  blood,  24,277  negroes,  407  Chinese,  13  Jap- 
anese, and  322  Indians. 

Oi  the  114,620  parents  of  the  M'^hite  prisoners  45,732  were  native,  60,153  were  foreign  born,  and 
the  birthplaces  of  8.735  were  reported  as  unknown. 

Omitting  the  unknown,  the  percentage  of  prisoners  of  the  native  element  was  43.19  and  of  the 
foreign  element  56. 81. 

As  to  nationalities  of  the  60,153  foreign  parents  of  American  prisoners  29.184  were  Irish,  9,987 
German,  5,997  English,  4,064  English  Canadian,  1.996  Scotch,  1.483  Mexican,  1.209  Italian,  and 
1,036  French.     Other  nationalities  were  below  1,000. 

Of  the  73,045  paupers  in  almshouses  there  were  66,578  whites,  6,418  negroes.  13  Chinese,  and  36 
Indians. 

Of  the  133.156  parents  of  the  white  paupers  45.215  were  native,  63,587  were  foreij 
24,354  unknown  as  to  birthplace.  Omitting  the  unknown,  as  in  the  case  of  prisoners,  41 
of  the  paupers  were  of  native  and  58.  44  per  cent  of  foreign  extraction. 

As  to  nationalities  of  63,587  foreign  parents  of  American  paupers  32.421  were  Irish.  15,629  Ger- 
man, 4,688  Englia'a,  2,012  English  Canadians,  1,392  Scotch,  and  1,368  Swedish.  Other  nationalities 
were  below  1,000. 

*  Statistics  of  pauperism  apply  only  to  inmates  of  almshouses.  Outdoor  paupers  are  not  considered 
and  there  is  no  way  of  ascertaming  their  number  in  the  United  States,  but  it  is  comparatively  small 
compared  with  that  of  European  countries.

HOMICIDE    IN    THE    UNITED    STATES. 

The  census  bulletin  presenting  statistics  of  homicide  in  the  United  States  in  1890  was  prepared  by 
Frederick  H.  Wines,  special  agent  on  pauperism  and  crime.  The  following  is  the  summing  up  of  the 
results  of  his  investigations  : 

Of  82,329  prisoners  in  the  United  States  June  1,  1890,  the  number  charged  with  homicide  was 
7,386,  or  8. 97j)er  cent. 

Omitting  35  who  were  charged  with  double  crimes,  6,958  of  them  (or  94.  65  per  cent)  were  men, 
and  393  (or  5. 35  per  cent)  were  women. 

As  to  color,  4,425  were  white,  2,739  negroes,  94  Chinese,  1  Japanese,  and  92  Indians. 

As  to  the  nativity  of  the  4,425  whites,  3,157  were  born  in  the  United  States,  1,213  were  foreign 
born,  and  the  birthplace  of  55  is  unknown. 

A  careful  and  accurate  inquiry  into  the  parentage  of  those  born  in  the  United  States  results  in  the 
mathematical  conclusion  that  56.14  per  cent  of  homicides  committed  by  white  men  and  women  is 
chargeable  to  the  native  white  element  of  the  population,  and  43.86  per  cent  to  the  foreign  element. 
On  the  same  scale  of  4,614  to  3,605,  the  negro  contribution  to  homicide  is  represented  by  5,478. 

The  percentage  of  those  who  can  both  read  and  write  is  61.  73;  of  those  who  can  read  only,  4.84;  of 
those  who  can  do  neither,  33. 43.  Of  the  negroes,  more  than  one-half  can  neither  read  nor  write;  of 
the  Indians,  nearly  two-thirds.  The  percentage  of  illiteracy  among  the  foreign  born  i.s  nearly  or  quite 
three  times  as  great  as  that  among  the  native  whites. 

The  number  who  have  received  a  higher  education  is  253,  or  3. 44  per  cent. 

The  number  emploj'ed  at  the  time  of  their  arrest  was  5, 659;  unemployed,  1,225:  unknown,  467. 

The  habits  of  973,  in  respect  of  use  of  intoxicating  liquors,  are  not  stated.  I'he  remaining  6,378  are 
classed  as  follows:  Total  abstainers,  1,282;  occasional  or  moderate  drinkers, 3, 829;  drunkards,1.267. 

As  to  their  physical  condition,  6,149  were  in  good  health,  600  ill,  283  insane,  24  blind,  14  deaf  and 
dumb,  18  idiots,  and  263  crippled. 

CAPITAL  PUNISHMENT. 

The  States  in  which  the  death  penalty  is  forbidden  by  law  are  Colorado,  Rhode  Island,  Maine, 
Michigan,  and  Wisconsin.  In  Rhode  Island  the  only  alternative  is  imprisonment  for  life.  In 
Kansas  the  signature  of  the  Governor  is  necessary  to  an  execution.  The  death  penalty  is  inflicted 
in  all  the  States  lor  murder,  except  the  five  above  named;  and  in  addition,  in  Louisiana,  for  rape, 
assault  with  intent  to  kill,  administering  poison,  arson,  and  burglary;  in  Delaware  and  North 
Carolina,  for  rape,  arson,  and  burglary;  in  Alabama,  for  rape,  arson,  robberj-,  treason,  immoral 
relations  v.'ith  female  under  ten  years  of  age,  or  married  woman  by  falsely  personating  her  husband ; 
in  Georgia,  for  rape,  mayhem,  and  arson ;  in  :Mis.?onri,  for  perjury  and  rape ;  in  Virginia,  West  Virginia, 
South  Carolina,  and  Mississippi,  for  rape  and  arson;  in  Florida,  Kentucky,  Tennessee,  Texas,  and 
Arkansas,  for  rape;  in  Montana,  for  arson  of  dwelling  by  night;  in  Maryland,  for  any  variety  of 
arson.  In  some  of  these  instances  the  court  may,  i:i  its  discretion,  substitute  imprisonment.  In  New 
York  and  Ohio  the  death  penalty  is  now  inflicted  by  the  means  of  electricity.

STATISTICS  OF  CRIME  AND  PAUPERISM— ConWmtecZ. 


The  number  of  murders  and  homicides  in  the  United  States  in  the  ten  years  ending  with  1895 
was,  according  to  the  record  kept  by  the  Chicago  Tribune,  48,834.  This  includes  manslaughter  of  all 
kinds  when  perpetrated  by  an  individual,  whether  by  premeditation  or  passion,  or  by  an  insane  per- 
son, or  in  self-defence,  rioting,  duels,  and  resisting  arrest  by  officers  of  the  law.  The  number  of 
legal  executions  in  the  same  period  was  1,030,  and  of  lynchings  1,655.  The  percentage  of  executions 
to  killings  in  the  ten  years  was  2. 20.  The  percentage  of  killings  to  total  deaths  from  all  causes, 
same  period  (estimated),  is  0. 52,  or  about  52  per  10,000. 


Italy  takes  the  lead  of  European  nations,  with  an  average  annual  crop  of  murders  of  2, 470,  a  ratio 
per  10, 000  deaths  of  29. 4 ;  Spain  follows,  with  a  ratio  of  23. 8,  and  1,200  murders ;  Austria,  ratio  of  8. 8, 
and  600  murders;  France, ratio  of  8.0, and  662  murders;  England, ratio  of  7.1, and  377  murders.  The 
figures,  however,  represent  actual  murders,  not  homicides  from  all  causes,  as  do  those  above  in  the 
United  States. 

In  England,  in  the  reign  of  Henry  VIII. ,  there  were  71,400  persons  hanged  or  beheaded;  in  one 
year  300  beggars  were  executed  for  soliciting  alms.  In  1820  no  less  than  46  persons  were  hanged  in 
England  for  forging  Bank  of  England  notes,  some  of  which  were  afterward  asserted  to  be  good.  Capital 
punishment  was  abolished  in  Italy  in  1875,  and  murders  increased  42  per  cent.  —Compiled  from  Mulhall. 


Ij:  European  cities  the  number  of  suicides  per  100,000  inhabitants  is  as  follows:  Paris,  42;  Lyons' 
29;  St.  Petersburg,  7;  Moscow,  11;  Berlin,  36;  Vienna,  28;  London,  23;  Rome,  8;  Milan,  6;  Madrid^ 
3:  Genoa, 31;  Brussels,  15;  Amsterdam,  14;  Lisbon,2;  Christiania,25;  Stockholm,  27;  Constantinople, 
12;  Geneva,  11;  Dresden,  51.    Madrid  and  Lisbon  show  the  lowest,  Dresden  the  highest  figure. 

The  average  annual  suicide  rate  in  countries  of  the  world  per  100, OOO  persons  living  is  given  by 
Barker  as  follows:  Saxony,  31.1;  Denmark,  25.8;  Schleswig-Holstein,  24.0;  Austria,  21.2;  Switzer- 
land, 20.2;  France,  15.7;  German  Empire,  14.3;  Hanover,  14.0;  Queensland,  13.5;  Prussia,  13.3; 
Victoria,  11. 5;  New  South  Wales, 9. 3;  Bavaria,9.1;  New  Zealand, 9.0;  3outh  Australia, 8. 9;  Sweden,

The  above  table  is  on  the  authority  of  Mulhall,  as  are  also  the  following  statements: 

Cancer.  —Mental  worry .^says  Dr.  Herbert  Snow,  of  the  Cancer  Hospital,  is  the  chief  exciting 
cause  of  cancer.  In  1888  in  England  the  number  of  deaths  from  cancer  was  17,506,  of  which  6,284 
subjects  v^ere  males  and  11,222  females. 

GoiTRK— There  are  420,000  goitrous  people  in  France  and  2  percent  of  conscripts  are  rejected 
for  this  cause. 

Leprosy.  —There  are  131,618  lepers  in  India,  98,982  being  males  and  32^636  females.  No  other 
coimtry  in  the  world  approaches  India  in  this  respect. 

Plagues.  —There  were  196  destructive  plagues  in  Europe  from  1500  to  1840,  but  the  most  terrible 
i-ecorded  was  that  commonly  known  as  the  Black  Death,  which  came  from  Persia  into  Europe  in  1346. 
It  wa.s  preceded  by  myriads  of  locusts,  which  filled  the  wells  and  poisoned  the  water  of  the  countries 
east  of  the  Caspian  Sea.  At  Bagdad,  500,000  people  died  in  90  days:  at  Cairo  the  mortality  reached 
10,000  in  24  houi-s.  In  Europe  it  lasted  four  years,  and  was  supposed  to  have  carried  oft' 24, 000, 000 
persons,  more  than  30,000  towns  and  villages  being  depopulated.  So  late  as  1350  ships  were  met  at 
sea  with  all  on  board  dead.  Among  the  cities  which  suflered  were:  London,  100,000  deaths;  Florence, 
100,000;  Valencia,  100,000;  Venice,  70,000;  Naples,  60,000;  Paris,  50,000;  Genoa  and  Vienna, 
40,000  each.

The  statistics  for  1865 are  from  M.  de  Foville'siwork,  "France  Economique. "  Those  for  1885 
from  Mulhall.  The  figures  for  1893  are  on  the  authority  of  the  Registrar- General  of  England,  The 
mora  important  fact  to  be  learned  from  them  Is  the  steady  decrease  of  the  birth  rate  in  most  European 
nations. 

In  '  "•  Statistique  Humaine  de  la  France, "  M.  J.  Bertillon  presents  the  following  table,  showing  that 
the  French  are  the  least  prolific  and  the  Germans  tlie  most  prolific  people  of  Europe: 

Number  of  children  born  alive  annually  per  1,000  women  of  16  to  50  years:  France,  102:  Ireland, 
114;  Belgimn,  127;  England,  136;  Netherlands,  137;  Spain,  141;  Prussia,  150;  Bavaria,  156. 


The  birth  rate  per  1,000  inhabitants  in  the  United  States,  in  1890,  was  estimated  by  Dr.  Billings, 
of  the  Census  Office,  as  about  31. 

As  to  the  decreasing  birth  rate,  Dr,  Billings  says:  "  It  is  probable  that  the  most  Important  factor 
In  the  change  is  the  deliberate  and  voluntary  avoidance  or  prevention  of  child  bearing  on  the  part  of  a 
steadily  increasing  number  of  married  people,  who  not  only  prefer  to  have  but  few  children,  but  know 
how  to  obtain  their  wish. ' '  Dr,  Cyrus  M,  Edson  agrees  with  Dr.  Billings  as  to  the  fact  of  the  deliber- 
ate avoidance  of  child  bearing,  but  thinks  that  the  principal  cause  is  the  physical  and  nervous  de- 
teriora,tion  of  the  women  of  the  United  States,  and  this,  he  asserts,  is  largely  due  to  the  severe  strain 
of  modern  life  and  education.  ^__^__ ^__^ 

Barr^.nness,— One  woman  in  20  and  one  man  in  30  are  barren— that  is,  4  per  cf  nt  of  population. 
It  is  found  that  one  marriage  in  20  is  barren,  say  6  per  cent.  Among  the  nobility  of  England  21  per 
cent  have  no  children,  owing  to  intermarriage  of  cousins,  no  less  than  43^  per  cent  of  the  present 
nobility  being  married  to  cousins.— JV/wi/iaM. 

Dr,  S,  D.  Van  Meter,  of  Denver,  doubts  the  accuracy  of  the  theory  that  consanguinity  in  marriage 
is  a  cause  of  barrenness,  and  attributes  it  to  a  physical  cause. 

Childbirth,  Deaths  in.— The  average  for  20  years  in  England  and  "Wales  has  been  32  per 
10,000  births— that  is,  IJ^  per  cent  of  all  mothers  die  sooner  or  later  in  childbirth.— i(/u«/iaM. 

Illegitimacy.— Of  each  1,000  births,  the  number  illegitimate,  according  to  statistic?  published  in 
London,  1892,  were:  Russia,  27;  Ireland.  28;  Holland.  33;  England  and  Wales, 46;  Switzerland, 47; 
Italy,  73;  Norway,  74;  Scotland,  79;  Prussia,  80;  Franc?,  84;  Hungary,  86;  Belgium,  88;  Denmark. 
93;  Sweden,  101;  Saxony,  126;  Bavaria,  141;  Austria,  147.  No  accurate  statistics  for  the  United 
States  exist.  The  lowest  rate  in  Europe  is  that  of  Connaught,  in  Western  Ireland,  7  per  1,000.— Dr. 
Albert  Lefiingwell,  Summit,  N.  J.

CHAMPIONSHIP  OF  AMERICA. 

From  1884  to  1890,  inclusive,  the  winners  of  the  respective  pennants  of  the  National  Lea^e  and 
American  Association  played  a  post-season  series  for  the  championship  of  America.  This  series  was 
omitted  in  1891,  owing  to  strained  relations  between  the  two  bodies.  In  1892  the  Bostons  and  Cleve- 
lands,  the  winners  of  the  first  and  second  divisions  of  the  Leagrie's  season,  played  for  the  champion- 
ship. In  1893  there  was  but  one  season,  the  first  and  second  divisions  having  been  legislated  out  of 
existence.  There  was  no  post-season  series  played  with  any  of  the  minor  leagues  for  the  championship 
of  America,  for  obvious  reasons.     The  results:

In  1894  a  National  League  trophy  series  was  arranged.  A  silver  cup  was  donated  by  Mr.  Temple,  of 
Pittsburgh,  to  be  played  for  by  the  two  leading  clubs  in  the  National  League  race  at  the  termination  of 
the  regular  season.  If,  for  obvious  reasons,  the  pennant  winner  refuses  to  play  for  the  Temple  trophy 
and  the  accompanying  gate  receipts,  the  second  and  third  clubs  i)lay  the  series,  and  so  down.  The  cup 
is  valued  at  $700,  and  will  become  the  property  of  the  club  winning  it  three  successive  seasons.  New 
York  and  Baltimore  played  a  series  for  the  cup  in  1894,  New  York  scoring  four  consecutive  victories. 

In  1895  Baltimore  and  Cleveland  played  for  the  Temple  Cup,  Cleveland  winning  four  out  of  the 
five  games  played. 

In  1896  the  Baltimore  and  Cleveland  clubs  played  for  the  Temple  Cup,  Baltimore  winning  four 
straight  games. 

In  1897  the  Boston  and  Baltimore  clubs  competed  for  the  Temple  Cup,  Baltimore  winning  four  of 
the  five  games  played. 

THE  NATIONAL   LEAGUE. 

The  record  of  the  champion  team  of  the  National  League,  together  with  the  name  of  the  leading 
batter  each  year,  since  its  organization,  is  as  follows:

BASEBALL  RECORDS— CbTi^intted. 


INTERCOLLEGIATE  BASEBALL,  1897. 

The  Intercollegiate  League  has  varied  in  membership  almost  every  year  since  its  oriranization 
The  record  since  1880  shows  the  following  winners: 

1880-Princeton,  1885-Harvard.  1890-Yale.  1894— Yale. 

1881— Yale.  1886— Yale.  1891— Princeton.  1895— Yale. 

1882 -Yale.  1887-Yale.  1892— Yale  and  Harvard  1896-Princeton. 

1883-Yale.  1888-Yale.  a  tie.  1897— Princeton. 

1884-Yale.  1889-Yale.  1893-Harvard. 

Harvard  and  Princeton  did  not  play  in  1890,  and  in  1891  neither  Yale  nor  Princeton  plaved  against 
Harvard,  Yale  refusing  because  of  Harvard's  attitude  toward  Princeton.  In  December,  1891, Harvard 
and  Princeton  agreed  to  resume  baseball  contests. 

Yale  and  Harvard  each  won  a  majority  of  games  from  Princeton  in  1892,  and  broke  even  in  their 
own  series.  Hai-vard's  challenge  for  a  deciding  game  was  declined  on  diplomatic  grounds.  In  the  1893 
series  Yale  and  Harvard  again  tied  each  other,  aud  the  deciding  game  was  played  at  the  Polo  Grounds, 
New  York  City,  Harvard  winning. 

In  1894  Yale  and  Princeton  played  for  the  championship  at  Eastern  Park,  Brooklyn,  Yale  winning. 

In  1895  Yale  and  Princeton  played  for  the  championship  at  Princeton,  Yale  winumg. 

In  1896  Yale  and  Princeton  played  for  the  championship  in  New  Haven,  Princeton  winning.  It 
required  five  games  to  decide  the  championship. 

Princeton  won  the  intercollegiate  championship  for  1897,  defeating  both  Yale  and  Harvard.  The 
scores  of  the  series  follow: 

YALE- PRINCETON  SERIES,  1897. 

June5,  at  New  Haven— Yale,  10;  Princeton,  9. 

June  12,  at  Princeton— Princeton,  l6;  Yale,  8. 

June  19,  at  Manhattan  Field— Princeton,  22;  Yale,  8. 

HARVARD- PRINCETON  SERIES,   1897. 
May  15,  at  Princeton— Princeton,  6;  Harvard,  3. 
May  29,  at  Cambridge— Harvard,  7:  Princeton,  4. 
Junel,  at  New  Haven— Princeton,  2;  Harvard,  0. 


(txittti. 


Cricket  made  its  usual  slow  but  steady,  progress  in  1897  in  the  United  States,  and  the  game 
advanced  in  popularity  notwithstanding  the  inroads  of  golf  and  cj'cling.  A  team  of  Philadelpoians 
made  a  tour  of  England,  playing  all  the  leading  counties,  the  Universities,  and  the  "  M.  C.  C.  "  They 
played  altogether  15  matches,  of  which  2  were  won,  9  lost,  and  4  drawn. 

In  the  championship  contests  of  the  Metropolitan  League  the  following  are  the  records:

YACHTING    IN    1897. 


Interest  in  last  year's  racing  centred  in  the  small  classes  of  sloops,  from  the  51- footer  down  to  the 
little  16-footer— sometimes  called  half  rater.  In  Eastern  waters  the  25- foot  knockabout  class  furnished 
the  best  sport.     Such  persistent  racing  of  small  craft  was  never  seen  in  American  waters. 

The  good  work  of  the  Yacht  Racing  Union  of  Long  Island  Sound  helped  to  popularize  the  sport, 
for  they  arranged  the  dates  so  they  did  not  clash.  One  hundred  and  eight  clubs  were  represented  at 
the  meeting  in  May,  when  plans  were  laid  for  improving  the  racing  conditions  on  the  Sound. 

The  classes  in  all  the  Spring  and  annual  regattas  filled  well,  and  in  July,  "race  week"  atLarch- 
mont  furnished  six  days  of  good  sport,  and  six  nights  of  social  festivities.  It  was  during  this  week 
that  the  schooners  Colonia  and  Emerald  did  some  of  their  best  racing.  Although  radical  changes  had 
been  made  in  the  latter  yacht,  she  proved  no  match  for  the  Colonia 

The  cruises  of  the  Atlantic,  New  York,  and  Seawanhaka-Corinthian  Yacht  Clubs  were  each  suc- 
cessful in  their  way,  the  New  York  Club  event  being  as  usual  the  most  imposing  as  a  spectacle.  Con- 
trary to  general  prediction,  seventeen  yachts  sailed  the  ocean  trip  of  216  miles  around  Cape  Cod  to 
Bar  Harbor,  Me. 

At  Newport,  in  August,  some  200  yachts  took  part  in  the  display  during  the  fete  and  illumination. 
The  races  from  port  to  port  were  full  of  interest,  a  larger  number  of  yachts  starting  than  in  former 
years. 

Eleven  little  yachts  were  built  to  contend  for  the  honor  of  winning  back  the  Seawanhaka-Corin- 
thian Yacht  Club's  Challenge  Cup.  The  Canadians  built  eight  boats  from  which  to  select  a  defender. 
Heavy  weather  was  the  rule  during  the  trial  races.  The  Momo  and  Alanka,  designed  by  the  Cranes,  of 
Boston,  proved  the  best  in  all  work.  The  Momo  was  finally  selected.  The  Canadian  boat  was  the 
Glencairn  II. ,  designed  by  E.  H.  Duggan. 

The  breaking  of  the  tiller  of  the  Canadian  boat  at  the  start  of  the  first  race  caused  her  to  stave  a  hole 
in  her  bow,  by  colliding  with  the  stake  boat  By  reason  of  her  taking  in  water  she  lost  the  first  race, 
but  she  won  the  others  handily,  the  heavy  weather  they  encountered  being  clearly  in  her  favor.  The 
records  of  their  races  follow:

In  the  speed  of  steam  yachts  a  distinct  advance  was  made.  An  80-foot  mahogany  launch,  the 
hull  and  machinery  of  wh'ch  were  designed  by  Charles  D.  Mosher,  of  New  York,  for  E.  Burgess  War- 
ren, of  Philadelphia,  steained  over  a  measured  mile  course  on  the  Hudson  River  in  the  remarkable 
time  of  1  minute  37  seconds,  or  at  the  rate  of  36  miles  an  hour.  Another  fast  yacht— the  Marietta- 
designed  by  Henry  Gielow  and  built  in  the  Erie  Basin  for  Harrison  B.  Moore,  made  several  continu- 
ous runs  at  20  miles  an  hour. 

In  the  death  of  Ogden  Goelet  yachting  lost  a  thorough  sportsman  and  a  liberal  patron.  For  six- 
teen years  he  gave  a  $1,000  cup  for  schooners  and  a  $500  cup  for  sloops,  to  be  raced  for  off  Newport 
during  the  cruise  of  the  New  York  Yacht  Club.  In  1897,  for  the  first  time,  only  one  schooner— the 
Colonia— started  in  the  race.  The  Regatta  Committee  preferred  that  Ogden  Goelet  should  decide 
whether  the  Colonia  should  take  the  cup  or  saU  again  for  it,  but  he  died  before  deciding  and  the  cup  is 
still  held  by  the  club. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  New  York  Yacht  Club  in  October  S.  Nicholson  Kane,  Lloyd  Phoenix,  and 
Gteorge  L.  Rives  were  appointed  a  committee  to  draft  suitable  resolutions  touching  the  death  of 
Captain  Goelet.  At  the  same  meeting  a  committee  was  appointed  to  select  a  site  for  a  new  club-house 

Commodore  George  J.  Gould  presided  at  a  meeting  of  the  Atlantic  Yacht  Club,  at  the  Hotel  Wal- 
dorf, on  October  19,  when  the  prizes  won  during  the  season  were  presented  and  the  plans  accepted 
for  what  promises  to  be  the  finest  yacht  club-house  on  the  Atlantic  coast.  It  is  to  be  built  at  Sea  Gate 
(Coney  Island  Point),  to  be  completed  before  May  1,  1898,  and  to  cost  about  $75,000.  The  winning 
yachts  in  the  Atlantic  events  were : 

Decoration  Day  Regatta— Ediolon,  Akista,  Wa  Wa,  Squaw,  and  Ethel,  $25  each ;  Eclipse  and  lola, 
$12.50  each.  

Regatta  on  June  12,  Gould  Cups— Emerald,  $250;  Wasp,  $150:  Vaquero  III. ,  $75 ;  Dorothy,  $50. 

Annual  Regatta— Emerald,  Wasp,  Syce,  Norota,  Akista,  Acushla,  and  Wa  Wawon  class  prizes; 
Vaquero  III. J  Volsung,  Lizzie  V.,  Qui  Vive,  and  Shark  won  second  prizes;  Wasp  won  special  sloop 
cup  in  race  with  Syce. 

Adams  Cups— Won  by  Eidolon  and  Dorothy. 

Annual  Cruise— Colonia  won  class  prizes  in  runs  1  and  2,  $40  each ;  also  the  schooner  prize  for  the 
best  average,  $75,  and  the  Postley  Cup  for  schooners,  $100;  total,  $255.  Nirvana  won  class  prize  in 
run  1;  Syce  won  class  prize  in  runs  1,  2,  and  3,  and  the  sloop  prize  for  the  best  average;  Gaviota, 
Sistae,  vorant  IL  ,  Sachem,  Eidolon,  Akista,  and  Awa  won  class  prizes  during  the  cruise. 

For  1898  J.  Arthur  Brand,  of  London,  has  challenged  for  the  Seawanhaka-Corinthian  Yacht 
Club's  Challenge  Cup.  Four  British  yachtsmen  have,  it  is  said,  imdertaken  to  build  as  many  boats, 
the  fastest  of  which  is  to  meet  the  American  yacht. 

Thirty-six  clubs  were  represented  at  the  organization,  on  October  31,  1897,  of  the  North  Ameri- 
can Yacht  Racing  Union.  These  delegates  were  present:  ^milius  Jarvis,  Yacht  Racing  Union  of  the 
Great  Lakes,  27  clubs;  Oswald  Sanderson  and  John  F.  Lovejoy,  Larclunont  Yacht  Club;  Rawson 
UnderhUl,  Pentaquit  Corinthian  Yacht  Club;  A.  J.  Prime,  New  York  Yacht  Racing  Association,

YACHTING  RECORDS— Owrfintied. 


Atlantic  Yacht  Club ;  E.  "W.  Radder,  Interlake  Yacht  Racing  Association,  and  the  Lake  Michigan 
Yacht  Racing  Association,  18  clubs. 

The  objects  of  the  association  are  to  encourage  yacht  racing  and  the  adoption  of  uniform  racing 
rules  throughout  the  United  States  and  Canada.  Any  yacht  club  in  North  America  having  a  member- 
ship of  50  and  15  yachts  in  the  fleet  is  eligible  for  membership  in  the  union,  and  a  club  having  100 
members  is  allowed  one  representative  and  an  additional  representative  for  each  additional  200 
members.  The  union  is  to  oe  governed  by  a  council  of  15  representatives,  and  the  chairman  of  the 
council  is  to  preside  at  all  meetings  of  the  unioa 

Commodore  C.  O.  Postley'  s  schooner  Colonia  won  13  first  prizes,  including  the  $1,000  cup  for  the 
N.  Y.  Y.  C.  ocean  race  of  216  miles,  from  Vineyard  Haven  to  Bar  Harbor,  Me.  ;  Percy  Chubb' s 
Vigilant  won  the  $500  sloop  cup  in  the  same  race.  H.  B.  Duryea'  s  30- foot  sloopVaquero  III.  won  24 
first  prizes,  including  the  Belmont,  Whitney  LStillman,  and  Newport  cups.  Rouse  and  Hoyt'  s  20- 
footer  Shark  won  13  first  prizes,  and  F.  M.  Hoyt's  new  50- foot  sloop  Syce  won  19  first  j)rizes. 
Hanan  Brothers'  Acushla  won  14  first  prizes.  Lippitt  Brothers'  Wasp  won  6  first  prizes,  includ- 
ing the  Morgan  $1, 000  cup  for  second  class  sloops  N.  Y.  Y.  C.  cruise. 

Howard  Gould  did  not  race  his  sloop  Niagara  in  British  waters,  but  chartered  the  steam  yacht 
Miranda,  in  which  he  cruised.  He  has  ordered  from  the  Harlan  &  Hollingsworth  Company,  of 
Wilmington,  Del. .  what  will  probably  be  the  largest  steam  yacht  ever  built  in  this  country.  She  is  to 
be  called  the  Niagara,  and  will  be  launched  early  in  1898. 

There  were  several  rumors  of  a  challenge  for  the  America's  Cup,  but  nothing  came  of  it.  The 
report  that  the  Defender  was  to  be  sent  to  the  Mediterranean  to  race  was  denied  by  her  owner,  W. 
K.  Vanderbilt. 

Every  yachtsman  was  glad  to  see  the  races  between  the  big  sloops  Vigilant  and  Navahoe.  The 
former  yacht  was  purchased  by  Percy  Chubb,  formerly  owner  of  the  cutter  Queen  Mab.  He  fitted 
her  up  for  racing  and  she  made  a  very  good  showing. 

In  Boston  waters,  out  of  a  total  of  36  races  in  which  the  21-foot  knockabout  yachts  could  enter  and 
compete  for  the  Y.  R.  A.  prizes,  29  of  them  were  sailed  with  never  less  than  five  yachts  starting. 
The  Gosling,  owned  by  F.  O.  North,  stands  at  the  head  of  the  list  with  a  record  of  26  starts— 7  firsts. 
8  seconds.  4  thirds,  1  fourth,  and  1  fifth.  The  Fly,  owned  by  E.  O.  Gay,  was  second  with  27  starts— 
"7  firsts,  3  seconds,  5  thirds,  5  fourths,  1  fifth,  and  2  sixths. 

The  winners  in  the  Massachusetts  Yacht  Racing  Association  races  were:  First  class,  Ida  J. ;  second 
class,  Moriel*  third  class.  Rooster;  fourth  class,  Vitesse.

THE  NATIONAL  CHAMPIONSHIPS,  1897. 

The  National  Championship  Lawn  Tennis  Tournament  was  held  as  usual  at  the  Newport  (R.  L ) 
Casino  from  August  18  to  26.  Robert  D.  Wrenn,  of  New  York,  once  more  proved  his  superiority  in 
the  sport  by  retaining  the  championship  which  he  had  won  the  year  before,  after  five  exciting  sets 
with  Dr.  W.  V.  Eaves,  of  London,  Eng.  Dr.  Eaves  had  a  very  easy  draw  and  beat  only  one  first-class 
player— Nisbet,  his  fellow- visitor— in  the  finals  before  he  played  Wrenn,  The  score  of  his  defeat  was 
4—6,  8-6,  6-3,  2-6,  6-2. 

The  other  features  of  the  tournament  were  Nisbet' s  defeat  of  Lamed  in  the  semi-finals,  after 
Lamed  had  twice  been  within  a  single  stroke,  winning  three  straight  sets  (score:  3—6,  2—6,  9—7,  6—4, 
6—4),  and  Whitman's  defeat  of  Mahony  in  the  third  round  (score:  9—7,  6—3,  3—6,  6—1). 

The  championship  doubles  were  played  as  usual  in  two  sections.  Eastern  and  Western,  and  the 
winners  met  at  Newport  for  the  National  championship.  Nisbet  and  Mahony,  two  of  the  visiting 
British  experts,  captured  first  place  in  the  Eastern  section  at  Longwood  during  the  week  of  July  26, 
their  only  close  match  being  in  the  finals,  when  they  had  to  play  five  sets  with  Whitman  and  Q.  L. 
Wrenn,  Jr. ,  who  had  just  beaten  Lamed  and  R  D.  Wrenn,  three  sets  to  one. 

The  Western  section  of  the  tournament  was  held  at  Chicago  during  the  same  week,  and  the  sec- 
tional championship  in  doubles  was  won  by  L.  E.  Ware  and  G.  P.  Sheldon,  Jr. ,  two  Eastern  players 
who  had  gone  West,  after  a  five-set  match  in  the  finals  with  E.  P.  Fischer  (a  third  Eastern  player j  and 
J.  C.  Neely. 

These  two  pairs  met  at  Newport  the  first  day  of  the  championship  event,  and  the  American  pair. 
Ware  and  Sheldon,  beat  the  visitors,  Nisbet  and  Mahony,  after  another  exciting  five-set  match; 
score:  11—13,  6—2,  9—7,  1—6,  6— L     The  Neel  brothers,  of  Chicago,  last  year's  champions^  defaultea^ 
to  their  challengers  for  the  title,  and  Ware  and  Sheldon  thus  became  champions  of  America  in  doubles. 

The  Women's  National  Championships  were  held  at  Philadelphia  during  the  week  of  June  14. 
Miss  Juliette  Atkinson,  of  Brooklyn,  won  back  the  championship  from  Miss  Bessie  Moore,  of  Ridge- 
wood,  N.  J. ,  last  year's  champion, after  five  exciting  sets;  score:  6—3,  6—3,  4—6,  3—6,  6—3.  Miss 
Juliette  Atkinson  and  Miss  Kathleen  Atkinson  won  the  championship  at  women's  doubles,  and  Miss 
Laura  Henson  and  D.  L.  Magruder,  of  Philadelphia,  won  the  championship  at  mixed  doubles. 

AMEEICAN  TOUB  OP  THE  BRITISH  TEAM. 

A  team  of  three  British  experts,  composed  of  Dr.  W.  V.  Eaves,  champion  of  Ireland ;  H.  S.  Mahony, 
ex-champion  of  both  England  and  Ireland,  and  H.  A.  Nisbet,  a  younger  English  expert  of  much 
promise,  visited  American  courts  last  season  at  the  invitation  of  the  managers  of  some  of  the  American 
tournaments.  The  United  States  National  Lawn  Tennis  Association  challenged  the  English  Lawn 
Tennis  Association  to  send  over  a  team  with  the  understanding  that  an  American  team  would  cross 
to  the  other  side  next  year,  but  the  challenge  was  declined  on  financial  grounds,  and  the  three  British 
experts  came  over  as  individuals,  although  they  were  admittedly  representative  of  Great  Britain' s  best 
strength.  The  visitors  arrived  July  24,  and  played  their  first  matches  in  the  Longwood  tournament, 
near  Boston,  July  26.  Mahony  was  beaten  by  Larned  the  second  day,  three  sets  to  one,  and  Nisbet 
fell  before  the  same  American  in  the  semi-finals  by  a  similar  score,  after  he  had  beaten  Eaves  three 
straight. 

At  Hoboken  the  following  week  they  took  part  In  an  international  invitation  tournament  against 
Larned,  R.  D.  Wrenn,  and  G.  L.  Wrenn,  Jr.,  who  represented  America.  In  this  event  all  three  of 
the  visitors  beat  G.  L.  Wrenn,  Jr. ,  and  Eaves  beat  R.  D.  Wrenn,  but  Lamed  won  from  all  three  of 
the  visitors  andR  D.  Wrenn  beat  the  other  two,  giving  the  American  players  the  victory  by  5  matches 
to  4, 18  sets  lo  14,  and  162  games  to  164. 

Another  international  invitationnoumament  was  held  at  Chicago  a  week  later,  with  K.  Collins,  of 
Chicago,  as  the  third  man  on  the  American  team,  and  Nisbet,  Wrenn,  and  Larned  all  tied  for  first  place.

Wrenn  lost  to  Nisbet,  Nisbet  lost  to  Lamed,  and  Larned  lost  to  Wrenn.  All  three  beat  Eaves.  The 
tie  was  never  played  off,  Nisbet  getting  the  cup  by  courtesy.  The  international  result  was:  Americans 
won  by  5  matches  to  3, 11  sets  to  9,  118  games  to  109. 

In  the  championship  tournament  at  Newport,  the  last  in  which  the  visitors  played,  Mahonylost 
to  Whitman  in  the  third  round,  three  sets  to  one ;  and  Nisbet  and  Eaves  went  through  to  the  finals, 
Nisbet  beating  Larned  in  the  semi-final  round.  Eaves  then  beat  Nisbet  three  straight  sets,  but  was 
beaten  the  next  day  by  Chanapion  Wrenn  in  five  sets  for  the  American  championship. 

The  result  of  the  tour  or  the  Britons  was  to  win  three  matches  from  the  first-class  American 
players,  Wrenn  and  Larned,  and  lose  thirteen  to  these  two  men .  The  success  of  the  American  players 
over  the  visitors  was  the  sensation  of  the  year.     The  latter  returned  home  late  in  August. 

BANKING  FOR  1897. 

The  ranking  of  the  leading  American  players  for  1897  must  include  the  names  of  all  three  of  the 
foreign  experts,  but  the  "upper  ten"  honor  roll  of  the  Americans  really  extends  to  the  thirteenth 
name  on  the  list  in  consequence.  Here  is  the  order:  1— R.  D.  Wrenn;  2— W.  A.  Larned;  3— W.  V. 
Eaves;  4— H.  A.  Nisbet;  5— H.  S.  Mahony;  6— G.  L.  Wrenn,  Jr.  ;  7— M.  D.  Whitman;  8— Kreigh

FRESHMEN  EIGHTS. 

Previous  to  1880  a  number  of  races  were  rowed  by  ' '  Freshmen ' '  crews  of  the  several  universities 
and  colleges,  with  six  oars.  In  1880  agreement  was  entered  into  by  Harvard  and  Columbia  to  row  an

used  a  quarter-ounce  sinker.  Under  these  conditions  Mr.  Sturges  made  a  single  cast  of  148  feet,  and 
Mr.  Davidson  a  single  cast  of  173  feet. 

•Mr.  Hardy's  cast  was  made  in  a  tournament  with  a  rod  of  18  feet  Mr.  Enright' s  cast  of  147  feet 
was  made  in  a  tournament  with  a  20- foot  salmon  rod.  Afterward  with  the  same  rod  he  made  VX 
e^ibition  cast,  before  reliable  witnesses,  of  151  feet  3  inches. 

t  This  distance  was  made  by  measuring  the  line  after  casting. 

i  This  cast  of  Messrs.  Marston  and  Clark  is  given  in  English  reports  as  the  best,  but  for  Bome  un=- 
taiown  reason  Mr.  Wood's  cast  of  82  feet  6  inches  and  Mr.  George  M.  Kelson's  cast  of  81  feet  hayd 
neen  entirely  overlooked,  although  both  are  records  at  an  international  tournament 

I  In  Thames  casting  'he  line  is  coiled  at  the  feet  of  the  caster. 

I  In  JS^ottlngbam  casting  the  cast  is  made  from  the  reel,  as  is  done  in  America.

Theee  is  no  National  bowling  association,  although  vigorous  efforts  liave  from  time  to  time  been 
noade  to  establish  such  an  organization.  There  is  an  Interstate  Bowling  League,  which  was  organ- 
ized in  Brooklyn  November  21, 1895.  The  first  season  (1896)  the  New  York  Club  won  the  cliam-

STije  (JKoU  <Srason  of  1897. 


The  golf  season  of  1897  showed  in  every  respect  a  remarkable  growth  over  the  prevlons  year. 
The  United  States  Golf  Association  gave  further  evidence  of  its  watchlul  care  of  the  game  by  a 
thorough  revision  of  the  rules,  making  clear  interpretations  where  doubtful  meanings  had  formerly 
prevailed.  Many  new  clubs  also  joined  the  Association,  the  year  ending  with  a  total  membership 
but  little  short  oi  one  hundred. . 

The  general  brilliancy  of  the  golf  season  was  marred  by  the  death  of  Theodore  A.  Havemeyer,  a 
noble  patron  of  the  game,  and  the  first  President  of  the  Golf  Association.  This  vacancy  was  filled  at 
a  special  meeting  by  the  election  of  Laurence  Curtis,  of  Boston,  who  was  one  of  the  Vice-Presidents. 
Ransom  H.  Thoma.s,  Vice-President  of  the  New  York  Stock  Exchange,  was  elected  to  Mr.  Curtis' 
former  place,  the  other  oflScers  being  Charles  B.  Macdonald.  Chicae;o.  Vice-President;  Robert  B, 
Kerr,  Lakewood,  N.  J.,  Secretary;  Samuel  L.  Parrish,  New  York.  Treasurer. 

An  act  of  great  utility  to  the  clubs  in  the  vicinity  of  New  York  was  the  organization  of  the  Metro- 
politan Golf  Association,  whose  chief  duty  was  to  arrange  the  dates  of  open  tournaments,  so  as  to 
prevent  conflict  between  clubs.  This  plan  worked  very  successfully.  The  open  tournaments  of  the 
year  were  more  numerous  than  ever  before,  and  followed  each  other  from  week  to  week,  the  majority 
occurring  in  the  months  of  September,  October,  and  November.  The  President  of  the  Metropolitan 
Association  is  H.  B.  Hollins,  and  John  Du  Faia  Is  Secretary. 

The  two  great  events  of  the  year,  of  course,  were  the  championships  for  men  and  women.  The 
former  was  held  on  the  links  of  the  Chicago  Golf  Club,  September  13  to  18.  The  first  day  was  devoted 
to  a  contest  for  the  Chicago  cup  medal  play,  18  holes,  won  by  Findlay  Douglas.  Fairfield  County  Golf 
Club,  Greenwich,  Ct ,  in  81  strokes;  H.  J.  Whigham,  Onwentsia  Club,  Chicago,  second,  82;  James 
A.  Tyng,  Morris  County,  Morristown,  N.  J.,  third,  83.  The  real  championship  contest  began  Tues- 
day. September  14.  with  a  medal  play  round  of  36  holes,  the  best  sixteen  to  qualify.  Those  who 
qualified,  with  scores  showing  each  18-hole  round,  are:

The  first  of  the  above  problems  is  one  of  the  noted  problems  of  the  past  year  by  S.  Loyd.  The 
second  is  the  remarkable  ending  of  a  game  in  the  Pillsbury  National  Correspondence  Tournament 
between  A.  E.  Swaffield,  of  Brooklyn,  and  J.  "W.  Baymond,  of  Texas.  The  mate  was  announced 
after  eighteen  moves  had  been  played. 

1  007    WAS  an  eventful  j'ear  throughout  the  chess  world,  aud  an  increase  in  the  popularity  of  the 
i  9«7«     royal  game  was  apparent.    Many  new  clubs  and  chess  associations  were  formed  and  im- 

gortant  tournaments  and  matches  were  played.     The  return  match  for  the  world's  championship 
etween  Lasker  aud  Steinitz  was  played  at  Moscow,   and  resulted  in  another  victory  for  La^ei.

Bhowalter  by  the  score  of  10  to  8  and  3  draws. 

Delmar  won  the  State  championship  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the  New  York  Si-ate  Chess  Associa- 
tion, held  on  Washington's  Birthday,  against  a  field  of  noted  veterans,  consisting  of  Baird,  Hanham, 
Hoderes,  Jasnogrodsky,  Koehler,  Lipschutz,  Orchard,  Boething,  and  Scheffiin,  Sixty-four  players 
participated  in  the  New  Jersey  State  Association  Tournament,  which  was  held  at  Bayonne.  Dr  B. 
Herstem,  of  Elizabeth,  won  the  championship.  The  second,  third,  and  fourth  prizes  were  divided 
among  Messrs.  N.  Hymes,  C.  Jaffe,  H.  Stapfer,  and  J.  V.  Nourse;  Messrs.  Berjer,  Kempf,  and 
Brown  were  the  victors  in  the  B,  C,  and  D  classes  respectively. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Woman's  International  Chess  Congress  was  held  in  London  in  July.  The 
first  prize  was  carried  off  by  Miss  Mary  Budge,  of  England,  with  the  remarkably  fine  score  of  17  wins 
to  2  losses  (these  latter  being  composed  of  1  loss  and  2  draws) ;  the  second,  by  Signora  Fagan,  of  Italy; 
the  third,  by  Miss  Field,  of  England;  the  fourth,  by  Mrs.  Worrall,  of  America;  the  fifth,  bv  Mme. 
Bonnefin,  of  Belgium;  while  the  sixth  was  tied  for  and  divided  by  Miss  Barry,  of  Ireland,  and  Lady

of  Commons  and  those  of  the  United  States  House  of  Representatives.  The  f  oUowing  scores  show  that

The  most  important  event  of  the  year  was  the  International  Tournament  of  Berlin,  which  ended 
October  4.  The  winning  of  the  first  prize  by  Charousek,  who  carried  off  the  honors  of  the  Budapest 
Congress,  places  him  in  the  foremost  rank  of  European  masters  and  as  the  most  likely  aspirant  for 
world' s  championship  laurels.     Walbrodt,  Blackburne,  Janowski,  and  Burn  were  also  prize  winners.

ISlectrtcal  ^voQvtun  in  1897» 

IN  GENERAL. 
Thb  electrioal  bosiness  in  the  United  States  took  on  a  healthier  and  rosier  hue  during  1897.    The 

firevious  years  of  business  depression  in  this  field,  which  culminated  at  the  Presidential  election  in 
898,  had  a  purifying  effect  on  every  department  of  the  industry.  Mushroom  companies  had  been  pretty 
thoroughly  weeded  out  when  1897  opened.  These  were  an  inheritance  from  the  early  days  of  electricity, 
when  discredited  boomers  and  promoters  from  other  fields  secured  an  entrance  and  performed  alleged 
miracles  upon  the  unsuspecting  and  faithful  public.  The  hard  times  sent  these  people  and  their 
schemes  to  their  just  rewards,  and  the  result  was  that,  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  now  closed,  the 
electrical  field  was  cleaner  and  more  healthful  than  ever  before.  An  important  bit  of  progress,  which 
is  probably  apparent  in  its  full  significance  only  to  those  who  keep  in  close  touch  with  the  electrical 
field,  is  the  growth  of  Niagara  Falls  and  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  as  a  common  electrical  centre.  This  is  evi- 
denced by  the  fact  that  four  prominent  electrical  associations  held  their  annual  conventions  at  the 
Falls  during  the  year.  The  National  Electric  Light  Association  met  there  in  May,  the  American  Street 
Railway  Association  in  October,  and  the  Street  Railway  Association  of  the  Slate  of  New  York  and  the 
Association  of  Edison  Illuminating  Companies  in  September.  The  reasons  for  this  are  apparent.  Niagara 
Falls  is  the  largest  centre  in  the  world  forthe  generation  and  utilization  of  electricity  developed  by  water 
power.  The  immense  plants  of  the  Niagara  Falls  Power  Company  and  the  Niagara  Falls  Hydraulic  Power 
and  Manufacturing  Company  have  been  kept  busy  supplying  current  equal  to  the  demands  of  the  manu- 
facturers in  their  immediate  vicinity.  Buffalo  has  the  distinction  of  using  2,000  horse-power  of  current, 
transmitted  twenty-six  miles  over  bare  copper  wire  from  the  Falls.  This  progressive  community  is  now 
generally  known  as  the  "Electric  City,"  not  only  on  account  of  its  direct  electrical  connection  with 
Niagara  Falls,  but  also  because  of  its  excellent  system  of  electricrailways  and  its  splendid  electric  light- 
ing and  telephone  services.  One  result  of  the  progressive  spirit  shown  in  the  territory  mentioned  is  that  it 
is  proposed  to  hold  within  a  year  or  two  a  Pan-American  Electrical  Exposition  at  a  point  between  Buffalo 
and  Niagara  Falls.  Men  prominent  in  electrical  and  financial  circles  are  said  to  be  behind  the  enter- 
prise. The  technical  and  popular  success  of  the  first  Electrical  Exposition,  held  in  New  York  City  dur- 
ing 1896,  led  to  the  incorporation  in  October  last  of  the  Electrical  Exhibition  Company,  which  will 
provide  the  most  complete  exposition  of  electrical  appliances  ever  held  in  Madison  Square  Garden 
during  May,  1898. 

In  an  industrial  sense,  one  of  the  most  important  announcements  of  the  year  was  that  made  late  in 
October  by  Mr.  Thomas  A.  Edison,  that  he  had  finally  achieved  commercial  success,  after  six  years* 
experimenting,  in  the  separation  of  low-grade  iron  ores  by  his  magnetic  process.  The  process,  in 
brief,  consists  in  blasting  the  ore-bearing  rock,  and  loading  it  on  cars  by  means  of  steam  shovels.  The 
cars  are  moved  to  a  great  crushing  mill,  into  which  the  rock  is  fed.  It  then  passes  through  a  series 
of  other  mills,  which  divide  it  still  more  finely.  A  conveyor  finally  carries  it  to  the  top  of  a  tall 
building,  whence  it  is  allowed  to  drop  in  proximity  to  immense  banks  of  magnets.  These  attract 
the  iron  to  one  side  of  a  wooden  partition,  while  the  non-magnetic  material  falls  by  gravity  on  the 
other  side.  The  iron  is  then  conveyed  to  another  building,  where  it  is  compressed  into  "  briquettes" 
about  the  size  and  weight  of  a  one-pound  scale  weight.  The  "  briquettes"  are  baked,  and  are  then 
ready  for  shipment.    The  entire  process  is  automatic. 

THE   TELEGRAPH. 

Nothing  of  especial  importance  is  to  be  chronicled  in  telegraphy  in  1897.  The  oflBce  receipts  of 
the  two  great  companies  gave  strong  indications  of  returning  prosperity  in  general  business.  There 
were  several  rumors  during  the  year  that  one  or  both  the  telegraph  companies  would  enter  the  tele- 
phone field.  These  rumors,  as  usual,  proved  to  be  canards.  In  November  the  Postal  Telegraph  Cable 
Company  began  the  construction  of  a  system  in  New  York  Bay,  by  means  of  which  a  ship  news  service 
is  to  be  established  as  a  part  of  its  business.  The  Western  Union  Telegraph  Company  has  heretofore 
had  no  competition  in  this  service. 

THE  TELEPHONE. 

Remarkable  progress  was  made  in  the  increase  of  the  number  of  telephone  subscribers  during  1897. 
Improvements  in  the  service  were  also  remarkable.  There  are  now  260,000  telephone  subscribers  in  the 
United  States,  240,000  miles  of  telephone  wire  strung  on  poles,  150,000  miles  of  telephone  wire  under 
ground,  and  3,000  miles  under  water,  a  total  of  nearly  400,000  miles.  The  telephone  business  gives  em- 
ployment to  more  than  15,000  persons  in  the  United  States.  At  the  end  of  the  year  Chicago  had  over 
14,000  subscribers,  and  in  New  York  City  there  were  21,750,  as  against  17,000  at  the  beginning  of  the  year, 
a  gain  of  almost  23  per  cent.  The  New  York  and  New  Jersey  Telephone  Company,  which  serves  the 
people  of  Long  Island,  Staten  Island,  and  the  northern  half  of  New  Jersey,  gained  about  4,000  sub- 
scribers during  the  year. 

The  New  York  Telephone  Company  made  great  reductions  in  rates.  The  rate  formerly  was  $240  a 
year  for  flat  rate  service,  and  for  the  same  class  of  service  on  a  message  rate  schedule  the  charge  is  now 
as  low  as  $90  per  year,  the  average  rate  being  less  than  $110  per  year.  At  the  end  of  the  year  over  14,000 
of  the  company's  subscribers  were  receiving  their  service  on  this  equitable  plan  of  charging  in  exact 
accordance  with  the  amoi. at  of  the  subscriber's  use.  The  rapidity  with  which  New  York  subscribers 
have  changed  from  the  old  tiat  rate  principle  to  the  message  rate  system  has  not  been  paralleled  else- 
where. The  company's  new  Dey  Street  building  was  opened  in  May  and,  with  the  Oortlandt  Street 
building,  is  used  wholly  for  the  telephone  business.  The  company  has  in  course  of  construction 
an  eight-story  fire-proof  building  on  Gold  Street,  which  will  be  used  exclusively  for  the 
company's  purposes,  and  will  be  ready  for  occupancy  early  in  1898. 

Another  matter  of  public  interest  was  the  large  reduction  in  the  number  of  overhead  lines  in  the 
dovratown  portion  of  New  York  City.  This  work  has  been  pushed  forward  very  rapidly.  There  were  at 
the  end  of  the  year  about  11,000  stations  connected  by  wires  wholly  underground,  at  no  point  coming 
into  the  open  air — that  is,  on  roofs  or  crossing  streets.  The  entire  city,  with  one  or  two  small  exceptions, 
considered  territorially,  south  of  Canal  Street,  has  been  practically  cleared  of  overhead  wires,  and  the 
work  is  progressing  in  the  upper  p-vrt  of  the  city,  especially  in  those  sections  along  the  main  avenues 
and  the  principal  cross  streets,  where  the  city  is  thickly  settled. 

The  long-distance  system  of  the  American  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Company  was  considerably  ex- 
tended during  the  year.  The  principal  cities  and  towns  from  Maine  to  North  Dakota  are  now  in  con- 
nection with  this  service,  and  conversations  between  places  1,500  miles  apart  are  of  frequent  occurrence. 
The  *' independent"  telephone  movement  was  frequently  heard  from  during  the  year.  Some  of  the 
exchanges  previously  established  were  compelled  to  succumb  to  the  better  managed  competition  of  the 


Electrical  Progress  in   1897,  239 

ELECTRICAL  PROGRESS  IN  ISOl— Continued. 

fc»ii  '  '  ■■ 

'ocal  Bell  exchanges.  The  independent  companies  in  the  West,  however,  especially  in  Indiana,  made 
congiderablo  progress  in  the  extension  of  their  lines  and  in  their  increased  lists  of  subscribers.  The 
independent  company  in  Detroit  is  reported  to  be  giving  excellent  service  and  to  have  more  subscribers 
than  the  local  Bell  company.  The  rapidity  of  telephone  service  was  well  illustrated  during  the  Greater 
New  York  election  in  November.  The  telephone  companies  in  New  York  and  Brooklyn  each  provided  a 
special  corps  of  trained  operators,  who  collected  and  tabulated  the  returns  as  fast  as  received.  So 
promptly  and  thoroughly  was  this  work  accomplished  that  the  general  result  of  the  election  was  known 
within  three  hours  after  the  closing  of  the  polls.  Any  telephone  subscriber  who  desired  the  seryioe  re- 
ceived frequent  bulletins  over  the  telephone  line  from  the  headquarters  of  the  company. 

ELEOTRIO  LIGHTING. 

In  the  electric  lighting  field  the  inclosed  arc  lamp  made  considerable  progress  during  the  fear. 
There  are  now  about  fifteen  manufacturers  of  this  type  of  lamp  in  the  field,  and  their  product  has  been 
much  improved,  both  as  regards  the  simplifying  of  the  apparatus  itself  and  in  the  economy  in  consump- 
tion of  carbons.  The  inclosed  arc  lamp  is  similar  to  the  ordinary  arc  lamp,  except  that  the  arc  itself  la 
inclosed  in  a  second  globe,  which  adds  largely  to  the  life  of  the  carbons  and  efiSciency  of  the  light.  The 
usual  type  will  burn  150  hours  without  retrimming.  The  lamp  is  especially  valuable  for  interior  light- 
ing, as  it  prevents  the  dropping  of  carbon  sparks  and  may  be  operated  from  ordinary  incandescent 
circuits.  A  number  of  the  principal  dry-goods  houses  in  New  York  City  have  made  large  installations 
of  these  lamps  during  the  year,  one  firm  alone  having  installed  nearly  300.  No  great  improvements 
were  announced  by  manufacturers  of  incandescent  lamps.  The  principal  makers  of  incandescent  lamps 
endeavored  to  form  a  combination  during  the  year  to  control  the  output  and  prices  of  their  product. 
Their  proceedings  were  of  a  secret  character  and  did  not  become  generally  known.  It  is  believed,  how- 
ever, that  the  object  sought  was  not  accomplished,  and  that  the  incandescent  lamp  field  is  not,  from  the 
manufacturers'  standpoint,  in  a  profitable  condition,  ^  The  quality  of  the  lamps  is  better  than  ever 
before,  and  the  prices  are  fair  to  the  consumer.  Great  improvements  were  made  in  Crookes  tubes  used 
in  X-ray  work,  and  a  number  of  new  forms  were  placed  upon  the  market  by  various  makers.  The  life 
and  penetrating  power  of  these  tubes  have  been  considerably  increased,  and  their  stability  has  been 
greatly  improved.  The  question  of  X-ray  burns  was  discussed  at  some  length  during  the  year  by  various 
experimenters,  chiefly  Mr.  Nikola  Tesla,  who  made  many  experiments  on  the  subject.  He  came  to  the 
conclusion  that  the  principal  cause  of  these  burns  was  the  placing  of  the  part  of  the  human  body  to  be 
radiographed  in  too  close  proximity  to  the  tube,  and  that  with  proper  precautions  burns  would  not  be 

developed.  

ELEOTRIO  POWER. 

Several  new  types  of  electric  motors  for  power  purposes  were  presented  to  the  public  during  the 
year.  These  motors  are  now  made  so  that  they  may  be  attached  in  any  desired  position  to  the  floors, 
ceilings,  or  walls  of  the  building  in  which  they  are  to  be  used.  The  electric  lighting  companies  of  the 
principal  cities  report  a  large  increase  in  the  number  of  consumers  of  current  for  power  purposes.  A 
number  of  installations  in  printing-houses  and  flour-mills  were  made,  many  of  them  m  the  West.  Sev- 
eral new  manufacturing  plants  have  been  built  at  Niagara  Falls,  current  for  which  is  supplied  from  the 
great  power  plant  of  the  Niagara  Falls  Power  Company.  During  the  year  extensions  to  this  company's 
plant  have  been  made  and  are  almost  completed,  which  will  about  double  its  present  capacity  tor 
current.  At  Niagara  Falls,  Ontario,  the  Canadian  Niagara  Power  League  was  formed  to  develop  tha 
natural  water-power  resources  on  the  Canadian  side  of  the  Falls. 

LONG-DISTANCE  TRANSMISSION. 

The  importance  ana  rapid  growth  of  the  long-distance  transmission  of  electric  current  Is  shown  by. 
the  fact  that  during  the  year  a  long-distance  transmission  association  was  organized  in  California  by 
people  interested  in  generating  and  using  current.  California  is  especially  favored  by  its  natural  topog>» 
raphy  for  the  development  of  electricity  by  water  power,  which  explains  why  there  are  more  long- 
distance transmission  plants  in  that  State  than  in  any  other.  Toward  the  close  of  1897  a  second  circuit 
of  1,000  horse-power  capacity  was  added  to  the  long-distance  transmission  line  between  Niagara  Falls 
and  Buffalo.  In  the  latter  city  an  underground  conduit  system  was  installed  for  the  distribution  of  this 
current.  The  ultimate  capacity  of  this  transmission  line  is  20,000  horse-power,  but  at  present  only  2,000 
horse-power  are  sent  to  Buffalo.  The  reason  for  this  is  that  the  plant  of  the  Niagara  Falls  Power  Com- 
pany has  been  taxed  to  its  full  capacity  to  supply  the  demand  for  current  in  its  immediate  vicinity.  The 
extension  to  the  plant,  referred  to  above,  will  probably  leave  a  margin  of  supply  which  will  be  sent  to 
Buffalo  consumers. 

ELEOTRIO  TRACTION. 

The  most  important  development  of  the  year  in  the  field  of  electric  traction  was  the  adoption  of  the 
underground  trolley  system  by  the  Metropolitan  Street  Railway  Company,  of  New  York  City,  for  prac- 
tically its  entire  system  except  the  Broadway  cable  road.  The  first  of  the  old  horse-car  lines  to  be 
equipped  was  the  Madison  Avenue  line,  which  is  now  in  operation  on  the  new  system.  The  Metropoli- 
tan Railway  Company  is  building  one  of  the  largest  electric-generating  stations  in  the  world  to  supply 
current  to  its  new  system  when  completed.    It  will  contain  the  most  modern  apparatus  in  every  detail. 

The  Capit.il  Traction  Company,  of  Washington,  D.  C,  lost  its  great  cable  power-hous  by  fire  in 
October.  The  company  decided  not  to  rebuild  the  cable  system,  but  proceeded  a  once  to  install 
the  underground  trolley  on  all  its  lines.  While  this  work  is  being  carried  on  with  a"  possible  haste,  the 
cars  are  being  hauled  by  horses  and  mules.  The  old  cable  conduits  are  being  remodelled  for  the  elec- 
tric system  and  a  new  generating  station  is  in  course  of  construction. 

At  the  annual  convention  of  the  American  Street  Railway  Association,  held  i  October  at  Niagara 
Falls,  Col.N.H.  Heft,  of  the  New  York,  New  Haven  and  Hartford  Railroad,  read  an  able  address,  giving 
the  details  of  the  successful  operation  of  the  third-rail  electric  system  on  that  roa  The  figures  given 
were  highly  complimentary  to  the  third-rail  system,  and  showed  that  for  certain  traffic  this  system 
offers  great  economies  of  operation  to  steam  railways.  The  principal  cities  of  the  country  have  now 
practically  abandoned  horses  for  motive  power  on  street  railways. 

During  the  year  the  subway  under  the  Common  in  Boston  was  opened  for  travel  and  the  congestion 
Ot  electric  cars  on  Tremont  Street  has  since  been  greatly  relieved. 

In  New  York  City,  during  the  year  just  closed,  a  satisfactory  and  successful  electric  cab  service  was 
Inaugurated.  About  fifty  of  these  horseless  electric  vehicles  are  now  in  public  use  on  the  streets  and 
100  more  have  been  ordered.

Hitctature  Cn  1897.  ) 

THE  NOTABLE  BOOKS  OF  THE  YEAR.  ' 

Following  is  an  approximate  summary  of  the  most  conspicuous  books  contributed  to  the  rarlous 
departments  of  literature  during  1897.  Fiction,  as  usual,  claiming  the  lion's  share  of  public  atten- 
tion, it  has  been  found  necessary  to  exclude  from  this  resume  all  but  those  works  which  obtained  the 
widestpopularity  in  the  United  States,  and  those  mentioned  first  in  the  list  met  with  a  most  flatter- 
ing reception: 

FICTION. 

'  'Quo  Vadls, '  by  Henry  K.  Sienkiewicz,  translated  from  the  Polish  by  Jeremiah  Curtin,  a  powers 
ful  romance  of  the  days  of  Nero,  although  launched  toward  the  close  of  1896,  was  unquestionably 
the  book  of  the  year,  the  demand  it  created  being  phenomenal.  Following  '■  'Quo  Vadis' '  at  a  respect- 
ful distance,  perhaps  chiefly  on  account  of  their  much  later  appearance,  come  three  works  of  great 
popularity,  and  which  apparently  head  the  list  of  those  published  after  the  beginning  of  1897:  The 
Choir  Invisible,"  by  James  Lane  Allen,  a  story  of  Kentucky  life  of  the  period  succeeding  the  Rev- 
olution, when  the  great  migration  from  the  Eastern  States  set  in;  "Hugh  Wynne.  Free  Quaker, 
Sometime  Brevet-Lieut.-Colonelon  the  Sta.f  of  His  Excellency  George  Washington,''  aetoryofthe 
Warof  theRevolution,  welcomed  by  not  a  few  as  the  long- looked -for  representative  romance  of  na- 
tional history,  and  "Captains  Courageous,"  by  Rudyard  Kipling, his  first  essay  with  Araertcan 
characters,  and  they  of  the  salt  sea.  After  these  followed  '  'Soldiers  of  Fortune, ' '  by  Richard  Hard- 
ing Davis,  a  South  American  story,  in  which  a  young  American  eugin^er  and  several  representatives 
of  New  York  society  life  conslMniQ  \.\iQC\\\&t  dramatis personce.  Almost  equally  popular  here  was  a 
very  finely  wrought  work  by  Mrs.  F.  A.  Steele,  entitled  "On  the  Face  of  the  Waiers,"  a  romance  of 
the  Indian  mutiny,  faithfully  founded  on  fact  and  rich  in  local  color.  The  phenomenal  '  'run' '  which 
"The  Honorable  Peter  Stirling,  '  by  Paul  Leicester  Ford,  issued  in  the  latter  part  of  1896,  enjoyed 
In  1897  would  entitle  it  to  rank  with  the  preceding  could  it  be  classed  with  1897  fiction.  '  'Phroso, ' ' 
by  Anthony  Hope,  the  romance  of  a  Greek  girl  amid  a  band  of  outlaws,  a  story  abounding  In 
dramatic  climaxes,  althou-^h  inferior  to  the  '  'Prisoner  of  Zenda,' '  met  with  much  success. 

Th3  following  works  of  fiction  were  also  noteworthy:  "The  Christian, ' '  by  Hall  Caine,  particu- 
larly so,  a  strange  story  of  the  love  affairs  of  a  religious  fanatic  and  would-be  reformer,  which  was 
severely  criticised;  "Equality,"  by  Edward  Bellamy,  a  continuation  of  his  "Looking  Backward." 
but  larger  and  more  comprehensive,  in  which  he  answei-s  the  main  objections  to  his  former  work; 
"On  the  Red  Staircase,"  by  Imlay  Taylor,  an  exciting  tale  of  love  and  intrigue  at  the  Court  of 
Russia  during  the  boyhood  of  Peter  the  Great;  "The  Triumph  of  Death,"  by  Gabriel  d'Annunzio, 
translated  by  Arthur  Hornblow,  illustrating  the  theory  of  Italy's  celebrated  novelist  that  sensuality 
leads  to  crime. 

Further  leading  novels  were :  "A  Rose  of  Yesterday,' '  by  F.  Marion  Crawford ;  "Uncle  Bemae,' '  by 
Conan  Doyle,  another  of  the  historical  stories  of  which  the  year  was  very  productive,  treating  of  the 
threatenedinvasionof  England  by  Napoleon  Bonaparte;  "The  Pursuit  of  the  House-Boat,"  by  John 
Kendrick  Bangs,  a  sequel  to  his  whimsical  conceit,  "The  House-Boat  on  the  Styx;"  "Miss  Archer 
Archer,"  byC.  L.  Burnham,  a  pretty  love  story;  "St.  Ives,"  by  Robert  Louis  Stevenson,  relating 
to  the  adventures  of  a  French  prisoner  in  England,  an  unfinished  work  completed  from  the  author's 


of  Quebec;  "TheChevalier  d' Auriac. "  byS.  Levett  Yeats,  a  tale  of  love  and  chivalry  of  the  days  of 
Henry  of  Navarre;  "H  Ida  Strafford,"  by  Beatrice  Harraden,  author  of  "Ships  That  Pass  in  the 
Night,"  describing  lonely  life  on  a  California  ranch;  "The  Great  K.  &  A.  Train  Robbery, "  by  Paul 
Leicester  Ford,  a  Western  story  of  mystery  and  adventure  which  met  with  considerable  success,  al- 
though not  intended  as  a  serious  production  by  its  author;  "Rodney  Stone,"  introducing  sporting  life 
in  the  early  years  of  the  century,  by  Conan  Doyle.  "The  Quest  of  the  Golden  Girl"  was  an  amusing 
satirical  and  allegorical  fancy,  touching  diversified  types  of  femininity,  by  Richard  Le  Gallienne. 
"On  Many  Seas,  the  Adventures  of  a  Yankee  Sailor,"  by  Frederick  B.  Williams,  was  an  autobio- 
graphical story  describing  a  piiase  of  New  England  seafaring  life  long  since  passed  away.  "Cor- 
leonne,"  by  Marion  Crawford,  another  of  his  stories  of  Italian  life  and  the  Saracinesca  family. 
Another  notable  book  of  the  year  was  '  'The  Forge  in  the  Forest,' '  by  Prof.  Charles  G.  D.  Roberts, 
a  romance  of  Acadia  and  a  capital  story  admirably  told.  '  'The  Landlord  at  Lion' s  Head, ' '  by  W.  D. 
Howells,  was  a  strong  study  in  rural  New  England  life.  "The  Martian,"  by  George  Du  Maurler, 
which  was  expected  to  be  one  of  the  great  books  of  the  year,  was  so  far  below  his  remark- 
able "Peter  Ibbetson"  and  "Trilby"  in  mterest  that  it  was  a  comparative  failure;  and  yet,  like 
its  predecessoi-s,  it  depicted  in  the  same  happy  peculiarity  of  style  one  striking  central  character 
swayed  and  controlled  by  a  mystic  influence.  A  curious  story  illustrating  the  logical  outcome  of  old- 
fashioned  Calvinism  among  the  simple-minded  fisher-folk  •of  the  Shetland  Islands  was  entitled 
"Prisoners  of  Conscience,"  by  Amelia  E.  Barr.  "The  Massarenes, "  by  Ouida,  lashing  the  sins 
and  foibles  of  English  society;  "Marm  Lisa,"  by  Kate  Douglas  Wiggin,  another  of  her  inimitable 
studies  in  child  life;  "Trooper  Peter  Hulket,  of  Mashonaland,"  by  Olive  Schreiner,  voicing  the  in- 
dignation of  the  writer  at  the  cruelties  inflicted  by  the  English  on  the  natives  of  South  Africa; 
"Ziska,"  by  Marie  C^orelli;  "Margaret  Ogilvy, "  by  J.  M.  Barrie,  and  "The  Federal  Judge,"  by 
Charles  K.  Lush,  were  likewise  attractive  features  of  the  year's  fiction. 

HISTORY  AND  BIOGRAPHY. 
The  books  of  importance  in  these  departments  were  numerous.  The  foremost  biographical  work 
of  the  year  was,  by  common  consent,  "Alfred  Lord  Tennyson,  a  Memoir  by  His  Son, "  in  two  vol- 
umes, containing  a  large  number  of  hitherto  unpublished  poems,  numerous  letters,  and  personal  rec- 
ollections of  the  poet  by  norable  friends.  Perhaps  the  next  biographical  work  in  importance  was 
'•  Captain  Mahan^s  Life  of  Nelson,  the  Embodiment  of  the  Sea  Power  of  Great  Britain,"  which  en- 
joved  the  widest  popularity,  an  interesting  feature  of  the  book  being  that  the  hero  of  Trafalgar  is 
made  to  tell  his  own  story.  Other  works  of  special  note  were:  ''The  Literary  History  of  the 
American  Revolution,  1763-83,"  by  Moses  Coit  Tyler,  professor  of  American  literature  in 
Cornell  University,  containing  a  very  remarkable  collection  of  essays,  letters,  speeches,  satires, 
songs,  ballads,  etc.,  as  illustrating  public  opinion  of  the  period;  "Forty-one  Years  in  India, 
from  Subaltern  to  Commander-in-Chief,"  by  Field  Marshal  Lord  Roberts,  which  made  a 
special  hit,  was  especially  entertaining  in  connection  with  the  numerous  novels  and  stories 
on  Indian  life  which  appeared  during  the  year.  A  work  of  considerable  popularity  was  "The 
True  George  Washington,"  by  Paul  Leicester  Ford,  which  shows  the  man  divested  of  his 
divinity,  but  still  the  greatest  of  his  time.  Other  notable  books  were:  ' '  Memoirs  of  Hawthorne, ' '  by 
his  daughter.  Rose  Hawthorne  Lathrop:  "Seventeenth  Century  Studies,"  by  Edmund  Gosse;  "Au- 
thors and  Friends,"  by  Mrs.   James  T.  Fields,  delightful  reminiscences  of  Longfellow,  Tennyson,

TRAVEL  AND  DESCRIPTION. 

The  book  of  the  year  in  this  department  was  Dr.  Nansen's  "Farthest  North,"  narrating  his 
TGmarkable  voyage  or  exploration  to  the  Arctic  regions, and  sleigh  journey  of  fifteen  months,  with  his 
scientific  observations  and  sketches  made  "on  the  spot."  Other  works  of  importance  were:  ''Travels 
in  West  Africa,  Congo  Fran^ais,  Corisco,  and  Cameroons,"  by  Mary  H.  Kinsley;  "  On  the  Trail  of 
Don  Quixote,"  an  account  of  rambles  in  the  ancient  Province  of  La  Mancha,  specially  interesting  on 
account  of  numerous  illustrations  by  Daniel  Vierge;  "Cuba  in  War  Time,"  by  Richard  Harding 
Davis,  perhaps  the  most  lucid  description  of  the  actual  situation  in  that  unhappy  island  that  has  yet 
been  penned;  "The  Sultan  and  His  Subjects,"  by  Richard  Davey,  containing  a  vast  amount  of  timely 
and  Interesting  information  on  the  Eastern  situation.  Two  other  works  on  the  same  subject  were 
Piofessor  Ramsay's  "Impressions  of  Turkey"  and  "The  Outgoing  Turk,  Impressions  of  a 
Journey  Through  the  W'Stern  Balkans, "  by  ){.  C.  Thompson.  The  year  was  not  particularly  rich  in 
this  class  oi  literary  production,  and  comparatively  few  really  prominent  books  appeared. 

PHILOSOPHY  AND  SCIENCE. 
On  the  list  are  "  Philosophy  of  Knowledge:  An  Inquiry  Into  the  Nature,  Limits,  and  Validity  Of 
Human  Cognitive  Faculty, "  by  George  Trumbull  Lada,  professor  of  philosophy  in  Yale  University:

contained  part  of  a  papyrus  book  discovered  at  Behnesa,  120  miles  south  of  Cairo,  on  the  edge  of  the 
Libyan  Desert,  and  believed  to  be  100  years  older  than  any  MS.  of  the  Gospels,  discovered,  trans- 
lated,  and  edited  by  Bernard  P.  Grenfell.  M.  A.,  and  Arthur  S,  Hunt,  M.A.  "God  the  Creator  and

MISCELLANEOUS   WORKS    OF    NOTE. 

A  literary  event  of  importance  was  the  publication  of  a  remarkable  collection  of  miscellaneous 
sketches,  essays,  and  character  studies  from  the  pen  of  (Jharles  Dickens,  which  were  recently  dis- 
covered in  England  by  F.  G,  Kitton,  and  published  in  America  for  the  first  time.  "Old  Lamps  for 
New  Ones"  was  the  title  under  which  this  miscellany  appeared.  Four  notable  poetical  works,  ■ 
"Builders,"  by  Henry  Van  Dyke;  "Ballads  of  Lost  Haven,"  a  book  of  the  sea  by  Bliss  Carman,

peared during  the  year.  [ 


248  The  Paris  Exposition  of  1900. 


Hf^^-**-  'I 


^fte  jpartfi  'IBjcponition  of  1900. 

Wb  desire  that  the  Exposition  of  1900  shallbe  the  philosophy  and  the  synthesis  of  the  century; 
that  it  shall  possess  at  once  grandeur,  grace,  and  beauty;  that  it  shall  reflect  the  distinct  genius  or 
France,  and  that  while  it  will  show  France,  as  in  the  past,  in  the  vanguard  of  progress,  it  shall  so 
honorthe  country  and  the  Republic  as  to  prove  us  werthy  sons  of  the  men  oi  1.789.— ^eech  of  M. 
Alfred  Plcard,  Commissary -General  for  the  Exposition,  1900. 

The  information  about  the  '  'Paris  Universal  International  Exposition' '  given  below  has 
been  compiled  for  The  World  Almanac  especially  for  intending  American  exhibitors.  It  may 
be  accepted  as  being  exact  in  all  its  details,  inasmuch  as  it  has  been  put  together  with  the  cour- 
teous aid  of  the  French  authorities  in  the  office  of  M.  A.  Picard,  Commissary- General  for 
the  Exposition,  and  of  Colonel  Chaille-Long,  who  temporarily  represents  at  Paris  (26  Rue 
Cambon)  Major  Moses  P.  Handy,  the  (Provisional)  Special  Commissioner  for  the  United  States. 

INTEKDING  AMEEICAN  EXHIBITORS. 

These  should,  in  the  first  place,  communicate  direct  with  Major  Handy,  Si)ecial  Commis- 
sioner for  the  Paris  Exposition  of  1900,  Chicago,  111. ,  and  not  either  to  the  French  Minister  of 
Commerce,  the  Commissary- General  of  the  Exposition,  or  Colonel  Chaille- Long,  Major  Handy' s 
representative  in  Paris. 

With  this  foreword  of  warning,  which  may  save  an  immense  amount  of  trouble  to  the  in- 
tending exhibitor,  the  following  is  a  brief  survey  of  the  mass  of  information,  of  general  and 
special  interest,  which  has  even  now,  nearly  two  and  a  half  years  before  the  oi)ening  of  the 
Exposition,  come  into  existence. 

SCOPE  AND  CHARACTER. 

What  the  number  of  visitors  to  the  Exposition  will  be  it  is,  of  course,  as  yet  impossible  to 
say ;  it  is  enough  to  remember  that  the  number  which  visited  the  last  Paris  Exposition  in  1889 
was  officially  returned  at  over  32, 000, 000,  and  to  suppose  that  in  1900,  should  nothing  in  - 
temationally  disastrous,  such  as  a  great  war,  intervene,  these  figures  will  be  largely— perhaps 
enormously— surpassed.  The  American  exhibits  at  the  Exposition  of  1889  were  wholly  un- 
worthy of  a  great  industrial  people,  but  there  is  every  promise  that  America  will  show,  in  the 
Exposition  of  1900,  by  concrete  examples  in  all  branches  of  human  industry,  the  moral  and 
material  progress  she  has  made  in  the  last  half  century. 

ORIGIN  AND  HISTORY. 

Officiallj^,  the  origin  of  the  Paris  Exposition  of  1900  dates  from  the  month  of  July,  1892. 
The  first  Paris  Exposition  was  held  in  1855 ;  the  next  in  1867,  and  the  third  and  fourth  in  1878 
and  1889,  resi)ectively.  Shortly  after  the  closing  of  the  last  Exposition  the  idea  of  a  great  cen- 
tennial international  exhibition,  to  be  held  in  the  last  year  of  the  nineteenth  centurj^  was 
mooted  by  the  public,  but  it  was  not  until  July,  1892,  that  an  official  move  was  made  in  the 
form  of  a  communication  from  M.  Jules  Roche,  the  then  Minister  of  Commerce,  to  President 
Camot. 

On  July  13,  following,  a  decree  was  issued  by  President  Camot,  announcing  a  ' '  universal 
exposition  of  works  of  art,  and  of  industrial  and  agricultural  products. ' '  A  date  was  fixed 
(May  5  to  October  31,  1900,  subsequently  changed  to  April  15  to  Novembers,  1900),  prelim- 
inary studies  were  made  and  a  financial  scheme  devised,  and  for  convenience  of  organization 
the  administration  was  divided  into  seven  sections.     These  are : 

THE  ADMINISTRATION. 

1.  Secretariat- General,  which  deals  with  all  matters  of  general  business,  employment, 
medical,  police,  fire  service,  the  press,  and  complimentary  admission. 

2.  Architecture,  which  deals  with  the  erection  of  palaces  and  pavilions,  control  of  me- 
tallic structures  and  of  all  devices  erected  by  foreign  nations,  colonies,  and  industrial  exhibi- 
tors. 

3.  Roads,  streets,  parks,  gardens,  water,  and  lighting. 

4.  Exploitation,  which  deals  with  French,  foreign,  and  colonial  sections,  installations, 
the  fine  arts,  agriculture,  catalogues,  and  diplomas. 

5.  Finance. 

6.  Litigation. 

7.  Fetes. 

Generally  speaking,  the  Exposition  and  the  works  preliminary  to  it  are  under  the  control 
of  M.  Henry  Boucher,  Minister  of  Commerce  and  Industry,  Posts  and  Telegraphs,  but  the 
entire  execution  has  been  confided  to  the  following  administration : 

Commissary- General M.  Alfred  Picard. 

Director- General  of  Exploitation M.  Delau nay- Belleville. 

(President  of  the  Paris  Chamber  of  Commerce. ) 

Director  of  Architecture M.  Bouvard. 

(Inspector-General  of  Architecture  for  the  City  of  Paris. ) 

of  Roads,  Streets,  Parks,  etc M.  Huet. 

of  Finance M.  Grison. 

of  Litigation M.  E.  Moreau. 

of  Fine  Arts M.  Roujon. 

of  Agriculture M.  Tisserand. 

Delegate  for  Colonies M.  Disl^re. 

General  Secretary M.  Henri  Chardon. 

FOREIGN  COMMISSIONERS. 

These  gentlemen  have  not  yet  in  all  cases  been  officially  appointed,  but  the  following  may 
be  mentioned  as  i)ermanent,  not  provisional : 

Austria,  M.  Exner;  Hungary  Baron  von  Lukatsch;  Germany,  Herr  Richter;  Russia, 
Prince  Czemitchef ;  Greece,  M.  Delyanni ;  Japan,  M.  Masana  Maida.

THE  PARIS  EXPOSITION  OF  1900— Con<tnt«!d. 


Major  Handy  is  a  Provisional  Commissioner,  as  is  also  Mr.   H.  A.   Austin  Lee,  C.  B. ,  the 

Commissioner  for  Great  Britain. 

COST  OP  THE  EXPOSITION. 

It  is  too  soon  to  say  what  will  be  the  money  cost  of  the  Paris  Exposition  of  1900,  whether  it 
will  give  f,  surplus  after  its  expenses  are  defrayed,  or  whether,  like  the  Exposition  of  1889,  it 
will  result  in  a  money  deficit.  The  French  Government  estimates  the  total  cost  at  $20, 000, 000 
(100, 000, 000  francs),  and  accordingly  a  guarantee  fund  for  that  amount  has  been  brovight 
into  Gxistcncc* 

Of  this  total  sum  of  100,000,000  francs  the  following  allotments  have  been  (approxi- 
mately) made: 


The  Grand  and  Little  Palaces  of  the 
Fine  Arts  in  the  Champs- El ysees, 
on  and  about  the  site  of  the  demol- 
ished Palais  de  1' Industrie Fr. 

Buildings  in  the  Champs  de  Mars  — 

Buildings  on  the  Esplanade  des  In- 
valides 

Buildings  on  the  Quais  (including  the 
proposed  Street  of  Venice) 


21,000,000 
18,000,000 

5,000,000 

1,500,000 


Bridges  across  the  Seine Fr.  5,000,000 

Mechanical  and  Electrical  Service. . .  6,750,000 

Circular  Railway 1,500,000 

Illumination  and  Lighting 800,000 

Fountains  and  Gardens 1,200,000 

Fetes 5,500.000 

Music 1,200,000 

The  Jury 1,000,000 


The  works,  it  is  calculated,  will  absorb  73,000,000  francs;  the  exploitation  (advertise- 
ment, installation,  etc.),  12, 000, 000  francs,  and  the  administration,  8, 000, 000  francs.  The 
reserve  is  7, 000, 000  francs. 

EXPOSITION  BONDS. 

This  money  is  to  come  from  three  sources:  The  French  Government  (20, 000, 000 francs), 
the  city  of  Paris  (20, 000, 000  francs),  and  bonds  (60, 000, 000  francs).  Only  the  last  named  call 
for  further  remarlc,  because,  while  the  two  sums  first  named  are  simple  contributions,  the  Ex- 
position bonds  are  not  alone  an  ingenious  financial  device,  but  a  source  of  periodical  specula/- 
tion  and  excitement  to  the  people  of  France,  and  especially  of  Paris. 

The  bonds  were  issued  by  the  State,  in  cooperation  with  five  of  the  chief  banks,  which 
underwrote  bonds  to  the  amount  of  62, 400, 000  francs,  receiving  a  commission  of  6  per  cent 
on  the  sales,  and  depositing  60, 000, 000  francs  in  the  Caisse  des  Depots,  where  it  remains  at 
2y^  per  cent  interest  until  1900.  No  interest  is  payable  to  the  general  public,  who  hold  the 
bonds,  having  bought  them  at  1  franc  each,  but  each  bond  will  entitle  the  holder  to  twenty 
ticketsfor  the  Exposition,  and  the  holder,  moreover,  participates  in  twenty- nine  drawings,  com- 
prising 4, 313  prizes,  ranging  from  100  francs  to  500, 000  francs  in  value.  Twelve  draw- 
mgs  have  already  taken  place,  six  will  take  place  during  1898  and  1899,  and  there  will  be  six 
drawings  while  the  Exposition  is  ojjen.  If  the  Exposition,  from  any  cause,  does  not  take  place, 
the  State  will  redeem  the  bonds  at  par, 

GENEKAL  REGULATIONS. 

The  General  Regulations  were  issued  on  August  7,  1894,  and  may  be  obtained  on  applica- 
tion to  the  Si)ecial  Commissioners  of  the  various  coimtries,  but  for  present  use  we  give  a  resumS 
of  those  regulations  which  most  concern  intending  American  exhibitors.  It  will  be  of  inter- 
est to  say  here  that  the  United  States  have  obtained  more  space  at  the  forthcoming  Exposition 
than  they  had  in  either  the  Exposition  of  1878  or  of  1889,  while  the  State  grant,  too,  is  likely 
to  be  largely  in  excess  of  the  grants  in  those  years. 

The  space  finally  allotted  to  the  United  States  in  the  Paris  Exposition  of  1900  is  200, 000 
square  feet,  as  compared  with  91, 000  square  feet  in  1878,  and  113, 30O  square  feet  in  1889 ; 
and  of  this  200, 000  feet  more  than  150, 000  square  feet  have  been  allotted  or  assigned.  The 
State  grant  by  the  United  States  in  1878  was  $190, 000 ;  and  in  1889,  $250, 000.  In  1900  it 
is  expected  to  be  $500, 000,  if  not  more.  The  following  includes  the  principal  regulations 
which  concern  intending  American  exhibitors : 

1.  All  nations  participate  on  equal  terms. 

2.  Foreign  exhibitors  must  correspond  ivith  the  Commissioners  of  their  respective  countries^  and  cannot 
communicate  directly  with  the  Administration  of  the  ExhibitUm,  but  this  regulation  does  not  apply  to 
the  proposed  retrospective  centennial  exposition  reviewing  the  progress  achieved  since  1800  m  the 
various  branches  of  production. 

3.  All  machinery,  so  far  as  possible,  must  be  operated  on  the  grounds  in  full  view  of  the  public. 

4.  All  works  of  art  must  be  deposited  at  the  Fme  Arts  Building  between  February  15  and  20, 
1900,  under  arrangements  to  be  prescribed  by  the  Commissary-General ;  all  expenses  to  be  at  the 
charge  of  the  exhibitor,  except  in  case  of  the  retrospective  centennial  exposition  (of  collections,  etc.), 
which  may  be  borne  by  the  administration.  All  expenses  of  installation,  however,  will  be  borne  by 
the  administration  of  Beaux  Arts. 

5.  All  industrial  and  agricultural  products  are  admissible  except  those  of  an  explosive,  highly 
spirituous,  or  offensive  character,  unless  they  are  inclosed  in  solid  vessels  of  small  dimensions.  Ap- 
plicants requiring  gas  or  steam  should  state  in  their  applications  the  quantity  needed  and  all  other 
desired  information.  The  admission  of  foreign  products  will  be  authorized  by  the  Commissary-Gen- 
eral upon  the  propositions  of  the  Commissioners  of  the  various  countries,  and  certificates  of  admission 
will  be  delivered. 

6.  No  charge  will  be  made  to  exhibitors  for  space,  water,  gas,  steam,  or  other  motive  power, 
but  ' '  connections ' '  must  be  supplied  by  the  exhibitor. 

7.  Generally  speaking,  all  expenses  of  packing,  re- packing,  installation,  storage,  and  so  on  must 
be  borne  by  the  exhibitor. 

8.  Plans  for  special  constructions  must  be  submitted  to  and  approved  by  the  admlalstration 
(sent  through  the  Special  Commissioner). 

9.  Exhibitors  are  invited  to  mark  exhibits  with  the  market  price,  but  this  Is  not  compTjlsoiy.

10.  The  exhibits  will  be  admitted  to  the  country  duty  free, as  the  Exposition  is  constituted,  for  the 
time  being,  a  bonded  warehouse.  Duty,  however,  will  be  levied  on  articles  manufactured  on  tbe 
spot. 

11.  The  taking  of  general  photographs  is  not  forbidden,  but  no  exhibit  can  be  photographed  or 
oopied  without  special  permission  vis6d  by  the  administration. 

THE  JUBY. 

The  jury  will  be,    as  in  1889,  international,  sub- divided  into  juries  of  class,  Juries  of 
groups,  and  superior  jury.     Foreign  jurors  will  be  named  by  the  Commissioners  of  the  respec- 
tive countries.     The  Foreign  Commissioners  will  be  ex  officio  members  of  the  superior  jury. 
The  super! oT  jury  will  finally  revise  the  list  of  awards,  and  the  distribution  of  diplomas  wiU 
take  place  about  the  begianmg  of  September,  1900. 

AWARDS. 

Only  diplomas  will  be  granted,  thus  classified;  Grand  prize  diplomas,  gold  medal 
diplomas,  silver  medal  diplomas,  and  diplomas  of  honorable  mention. 

MAIN  FEATURES. 

The  grand  entrance  to  the  Exposition  of  1900  will  be  oiFthe  Place  de  la  Concorde.  Close  to 
the  Seine,  but  there  will  be  a  multitude  of  other  entrances  in  the  Champs-  Elysees,  the  Champs 
de  Mars,  and  the  Esplanade  des  Invalides.  The  Exp>osition  authorities  themselves  do  not  know 
what  will  be  the  most  popular  and  striking  feature  of  the  Exposition,  but  it  will  doubtless 
prove  to  be  one  of  the  following,  all  of  them  novel  and  attractive : 

1.  The  street  of  modern  Paris,  running  along  the  embankment  from  the  Place  de  la  Con- 
corde to  the  Pont  de  1'  Alma.     This  will  illustrate  the  art  aiad  wit  of  France  and  will  contain 

galaces  of  dancing,  song,  and  all  that  is  refined  in  the  curiosities  of  Paris.     The  directors  of  the 
pera  and  another  leading  Paris  theatre  are  engaged  upon  its  elaboration. 

2.  M.  Deloncle'  s  telescope,  bringing  the  moon' s  surface  apparently  within  40  kilometres 
(25  miles)  of  the  spectator. 

3.  A  city  of  gold,  near  the  Trocadero,  showing  every  detail  of  gold  production,  With  Call- 
fomian  miners  and  models  of  the  mines. 

4.  A  gigantic  Turning  Palace,  or  Revolving  Tower,  100  yards  high  and  lighted  throughout 
by  electricity. 

6.     The  Grand  and  Little  Palaces  of  the  Fine  Arts  of  all  nations. 

6.  The  Pavilion  of  the  Press,  and  those  of  the  special  commissioners  which  will  be  scattered 
over  the  area. 

7.  An  enormous  Terrestrial  Globe  by  the  famous  French  geographer,  M.  Rdclus,  placed, 
owing  to  its  size,  outside  the  Exposition  proper. 

7.     Palace  of  the  Army  and  Navy  and  a  Palace  of  Food,  or  Alimentation. 

WOMAN'S  PALACE. 

In  addition  to  these  there  will  almost  certainly  be  a  Woman' s  Palace,  showing  the  develop- 
ment of  feminine  education,  training,  and  labor ;  a  switchback ;  a  colossal  vat ;  an  enormous 
bell ;  imitation  of  the  Blue  Grotto  of  Capri,  of  the  fountain  of  Vancluse ;  captive  balloons ;  a 
cyclorama  of  the  war  of  secession  in  America,  and  other  devices  to  interest,  charm,  or  amuse. 

THE  EXTENT.  *  -•'• 

It  is  calculated  that  the  Exposition  of  1900  will  cover  three  times  the  space  occupied  by  the 
exhibition  of  1889.  The  ground  will  not  be  partitioned  off  by  nationalities  but  by  sections, 
each  section  being  devoted  to  a  particular  industry  or  art. 

CONCESSIONS. 

In  most  cases  the  system  adopted  for  the  disposal  of  concessions  will  be  auction  sales  and 
special  contracts ;  and  all  applications  for  concessions  for  the  right  to  establish  shows  of  various 
kinds  should  be  addressed  by  the  American  citizen  to  Major  Handy,  Chicago.  In  all  concessions 
there  will  be  inserted  the  following  clauses  and  general  conditions : 

1.  No  one  may  bid  for  a  concession  unless  he  is  domiciled  in  Paris  or  has  a  qualified  and 
responsible  agent  there. 

2.  The  applicant  must  prove  that  he  is  possessed  of  the  necessary  means  and  is  capable  of 
carrj-ing  his  undertaking  to  a  successful  issue. 

3.  The  applicant  must  make  a  deposit  in  accordance  with  the  decree  relating  to  all  a^ee* 
ments  signed  in  the  name  of  the  State. 

4.  Concessionaires  must  build  and  Install  their  shows,  etc. ,  at  their  own  expense  and  at 
their  own  risk  and  peril,  and  must  submit  plans  of  their  buildings  to  the  administration  of  the 
exhibition  on  or  before  the of . 

5.  Water,  gas,  and  electricity  will  be  supplied  by  the  exhibition  at  ordinary  prices. 

6.  All  shows,  exhibitions,  aiid  establishments  directed  by  concessionaires  must  be  open  to 
the  public  throughout  the  duration  of  the  exhibition  (from  April  15  to  November  5,  1900),  and 
from  the  opening  to  the  closing  of  the  gates. 

7.  Precautions  against  fire  must  be  taken  by  concessionaires  at  their  ovm.  expense. 

8.  No  concession  may  bo  sub-  let  in  whole  or  in  part  without  the  sanction  of  the  Commis- 
sary-General. 

9.  Cases  of  disagreement  between  concessionaires  and  the  administration  will  be  referred 
to  a  jury  of  three  members,  one  to  be  designated  by  the  Commissary -General,  the  second  by 
the  concessionaire,  and  the  third  by  the  other  two.

S^rans'pltssisisippt  unti  KnUrnational  IZxpoBition.  251 

The  Trans- Mississippi  and  International  ExxMDsition,  to  be  held  at  Omaha,  Neb.,  June  1  to 
November  1,  1898,  is  intended  to  exhibit  particularly  the  products,  resources,  indvistries,  and 
civilization  of  the  States  and  Territories  west  of  the  Mississippi  River. 

The  Exposition  is  controlled  by  a  corporation  known  as  the  Trans- Mississippi  and  Inter- 
national Exposition,  with  a  capital  of  $1,000,000.  The  management  is  vested  in  a  directory 
of  fifty  members,  with  an  executive  committee  of  six  department  managers.  Each  department 
is  divided  into  appropriate  bureaus,  in  charge  of  experts  in  their  respective  branches.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  stock  subscriptions,  revenues  aggregating  not  less  than  $1, 000, 000  from  various 
sources  have  been  assured.  Under  an  act  of  Congress  the  enterprise  is  granted  recognition  as  a 
National  and  International  Exposition,  with  privileges  for  the  admission  of  foreign  exhibits  free 
of  duty,  the  right  to  strike  memorial  medals  through  the  United  States  mints,  and  all  other 
privileges  heretofore  granted  to  international  expositions.  The  Grovernment  will  erect  .a  large 
building  and  place  therein  a  Government  exhibit.  The  bill  carried  an  appropriation  of  !g200, 000. 
The  Secretary  of  the  Treasury  has  issued  official  orders  covering  the  regulations  under  which 
foreign  exhibitors  may  participate.  By  direction  of  President  McKinley  the  State  Department 
has  extended  invitations  to  the  rulers  of  foreign  nations  soliciting  them  to  participate.  Several 
Western  States  and  the  city  of  Omaha  have  made  appropriations  aggregating  over  $250, 000. 

THE  SITE. 

The  Exposition  grounds  are  within  the  limits  of  Omaha,  on  the  north  side.  The  area  known  as 
the  Kountze  trac<^,  lying  across  20th  Street  and  extending  from  Sherman  Avenue  to  24th  Street, 
because  of  its  location,  topography,  and  symmetry,  was  selected  for  the  focus  for  the  group  of 
main  buildings.  The  grounds  are  accessible  by  means  of  three  trolley  lines  and  two  steam  rail- 
ways. The  run  from  the  heart  of  the  city  is  made  in  ten  minutes.  The  main  entrance  is  on 
the  south  side  of  20th  Street,  through  the  Arch  of  States  into  the  Grand  Canal  Court.  This 
arch,  one  of  the  most  ifoticeable  in  the  group  of  structures,  is  decorated  with  a  frieze  composed  of 
the  arms  of  the  Trans- Mississippi  States,  tlie  whole  being  surmounted  by  sculpture  figures  bear- 
ing the  United  States  shield,     A  lagoon  extends  the  entire  length  of  the  tract. 

ARCHITECTURE. 

The  great  buildings  of  the  Exposition  are  situated  on  either  side  of  the  lagoon,  between 
Sherman  Avenue  and  24th  Street,  as  follows :  Agriculture,  Fine  Art,  Electricity  and  Machinery, 
Mines  and  Mining,  Manufactures,  and  the  Auditorium.  At  the  west  end  is  the  Government 
Bailding.  On  the  north  line,  facing  the  lagoon  at  the  intersection  of  20th  Street,  stands  the 
Administration  Building.  The  Horticulture,  Dairy,  Apiary,  Poultry,  Live  Stock,  and  Terminal 
buildings  and  the  Nebraska  Building  are  underway.  The  estimated  expenditures  for  preparation 
and  embellishment  of  tlie  grounds  and  the  construction  of  buildings  approximate  $1, 200, 000. 

THE  WATER  AMPHITHEATRE. 

At  the  extreme  west  end  of  the  lagoon  the  water  spreads  out  either  way  into  a  broad  basin, 
a  trefoil  in  plan,  lying  directly  before  the  Government  Building,  and  surrounded  by  a  peristyle 
of  double  columns,  forming  shady  promenades  on  both  sides.  These  colonnades  converge  toward 
the  west,  the  false  perspective  tending  greatly  to  magnify  the  extent  of  water  and  oi)en  space 
beyond.     Here  the  sculptured  architecture  is  everywhere  doubled  in  eflect  by  reflection. 

DEPARTMENT  OF  EXHIBITS. 

The  Department  of  Exhibits  is  organized  for  most  effective  service.  The  following  sub-dlvl* 
sions  or  bureaus  have  been  created,  viz.  :  Agriculture,  Horticulture,  Forestry,  Irrigation,  Live 
Stock  and  Dairy,  Mines  and  Mining,  Liberal  Arts,  Manufactures,  Fine  Arts,  Education.  The 
sections  devotea  to  Machinerj',  Forestry,  and  Electricity  are  in  charge  of  Commissioners.  The 
Bureau  of  Fine  Arts  is  under'the  direction  of  the  Western  Art  Association.  The  Bureau  of  Edu- 
cation is  under  the  superintendency  of  the  Women' s  Board.  Manufactures,  Mines  and  Mining, 
and  Liberal  Arts  are  imder  the  direct  control  of  the  manager  of  the  Department. 

Space  aggregating  20, 000  square  feet  has  been  contracted  for.  The  charge  for  space  is  low, 
viz.  :  In  the  buildings,  floor  space,  $1  per  square  foot;  wall  space,  50  cents  per  square  foot;  in 
grounds,  all  space  50  cents  per  square  foot.  All  who  wish  to  participate,  whether  as  exhibitors 
or  concessionaires,  must  secure  space  at  tariff  rates,  after  which  they  can  negotiate  for  privileges. 
Grovernments  and  large  exhibitors  will  be  granted  liberal  discounts.  Exhibitors  operating  pro- 
cesses of  manufacture— "live"  exhibits— will  be  given  special  advantages.  The  Exposition 
grounds  will  constitute  a  bonded  store.  The  manager  announces  special  prizes,  consisting  of 
six  gold  trophies,  six  silver  cups,  and  six  gold  medals,  to  competitors. 

CONGRESS  OF  AGRICULTURAL  INDUSTRIES. 

Of  interest  to  all  engaged  in  agriculture  in  any  of  its  branches  will  be  the  Congress  of  Agri- 
cultural Industries,  to  be  held  at  Omaha  during  the  Exposition  period.  This  Congress  will  be 
composed  of  representative  delegates  from  all  the  State  Boards  of  Agriculture,  agricultural 
journals,  horticultural  societies,  dairymen' s  associations,  live  stock  breeders'  societies,  and  all 
other  kindred  organizations,  and  will  continue  in  session  for  from  two  to  four  weeks,  during 
which  time  a  number  of  national  agricultural  societies  also  "vvill  hold  their  annual  conventions 
in  that  city. 

NOVEL    FEATURES. 

An  attractive  feature  of  the  amusement  section  will  be  Sherman' s  Umbrella,  a  massive  me- 
chanical invention  by  which  passengers  are  elevated  to  a  height  of  300  feet  and  revolved  slowly 
within  a  circle  whose  diameter  is  250  feet.  At  night  the  tower  will  be  brilliantly  illuminated  by 
electricity,  while  at  the  apex  a  powerful  search- light  will  be  placed.  This  stream  of  light  may 
be  Been  for  a  distance  of  KM)  miles. 

A  mammoth  Indian  wigwam  will  form  an  attractive  background  for  a  display  of  all  products 
of  the  skill  and  handicraft  of  the  American  Indian,  by  which  the  progress  of  agencies  for  the 
civilization  of  the  red  man  may  be  measured. 

There  will  be  many  other  novel  features  in  the  midway  section. 

The  principal  oflacersof  the  Exposition  are:  Gurdon  W.  Wattles,  President;  Alvia  Saunders,

Ki^t  Jlan^^tneritan  ISxposition  of  1899. 

A  COMPANY  was  incorporated  in  1887  to  promote  and  conduct  an  exjxjsition  to  illustrate  the 
material  progress  of  the  New  World  daring  the  nineteenth  century.  The  site  for  the  Exposition 
is  the  Island  of  La  Salle  or  Cayuga,  N.  Y. ,  a  picturesque  spot  embracing  some  200  acres,  sur- 
rounded by  the  Niagara  and  Little  Niagara  rivers.  It  is  about  a  half- hour' s  ride  from  Buffalo, 
N.  Y. ,  and  one  and  a  half  miles  from  Niagara  Falls. 

All  American  countries  will  be  invited  to  participate.    The  Exposition  will  open  May  1, 1899. 

The  Board  of  Directors  is  as  follows:  Ex- Governor  Roswell  P.  Flower,  Chauncey  M.  Depew, 
H.  Walter  Webb,  E.  B.  Thomas,  Daniel  0'  Day,  Edgar  Van  Etten,  and  William  F.  Sheehan,  of 
New  York ;  Captain  John  M.  Brinker,  Fred.  C.  M.  Lautz,  Charles  H.  Haskins,  Charles  R.  Hunt- 
ley, and  Herbert  P.  Bissell,  of  Buffalo,  and  W.  Caryl  Ely,  of  Niagara  Falls. 

The  gold  fields  are  in  the  eastern  section  of  Alaska  and  the  adjacent  part  of  British  Columbia,  the 
latter  being  at  present  the  most  developed.  The  gold  region  is  about  100  miles  long  and  20  wide.  The 
Yukon  River  penetrates  the  gold  fields  through  the  centre,  running  about  due  east  and  west,  the  chief 
mining  towns  oeing  located  on  its  banks.  Almost  a  quarter  of  the  area  is  within  the  Arctic  circle.  There 
are  only  about  two  months  of  Sunamer  and  three  months  of  open  working  weather  in  the  Yukon 
region.  The  ice  leaves  the  rivers  about  the  middle  of  June  and  begins  to  form  again  about  mid- 
September.     The  ground  is  perpetually  frozen,  thawing  out  only  a  little  on  the  surface  in  Summer. 

HOW  TO  GET  THERE. 

The  Yukon  route  by  way  of  St.  Michael' s  is  probably  the  most  comfortable  route  to  the  diggings, 
although  the  longest,  and  is  practicable  only  for  a  few  months  in  the  year.  The  distance  from  New 
York  to  Dawson  City  by  the  Yukon  route  is  equal  to  nearly  one- third  of  the  entire  circumference  of 
the  globe.     It  is  further  than  the  distance  from  New  York  to  the  Suez  Canal. 

By  taking  the  Northern  Pacific  direct  to  Seattle,  or  the  Canadian  Pacific  to  Victoria,  the  voyage  on 
the  Pacific  can  be  shortened  by  about  400  miles.  Seattle  is  a  favorite  starting  point,  but  steamers 
starting  from  San  Francisco  are  liable  to  have  every  desirable  berth  taken  before  reaching  Seattle,  so 
that  there  is  some  advantage  in  starting  with  the  ship  at  the  former  point. 

St.  Michael' sis  not  at  the  mouth  of  the  Yukon,  but  some  60  miles  north  of  the  usual  entrance  to 
the  Yukon  River,  on  St  Michael's  Island.  This  obliges  the  Yukon  boats  to  steam  out  into  the  open 
sea,  which  they  can  do  only  in  good  weather.  But  it  is  impossible  to  find  a  town  site  anywhere  on 
the  lower  banks  of  the  river  itself  that  will  not  be  inundated  during  the  freshet  season. 

The  Yukon  is  free  from  ice  about  the  middle  of  June.  The  water  at  its  mouths  is  only  about  8  feet 
deep.  The  delta  is  simply  a  vast  desolate  waste  of  low  soil,  often  submerged  by  water,  of  sandbars, 
shoals,  and  obstructions.  The  river  is  very  wide,  8  to  10  miles  being  an  average  away  above  the  delta. 
It  is  navigable  to  the  mouth  of  the  Pelley  River,  a  long  way  above  Dawson,  by  400- ton  flat-bottomed 
stem- wheel  steamers.  Besides  these  the  river  can  be  ascended  300  miles  further  by  smaller  boats. 
The  passenger  steamers,  however,  convey  passengers  simply  to  Dawson,  Cudahy,  Forty  Mile,  and 
other  shipping  points.  But  the  favorite,  though  more  laborious,  route  of  American  miners  to  the 
Alaska  gold  fields  is  unquestionably  that  by  Juneau  and  the  Chilkoot  Pass.  There  is  reason  to  believe, 
however,  that  the  Chilkoot  Pass  will  not  much  longer  be  used,  as  many  of  the  delayed  miners  on  the 
divide  have  been  working  on  the  White  Pass,  and  it  is  naturally  an  easier  route  to  Lake  Lindeman.  It 
lies  to  the  right  of  the  Chilkoot  Pass.  In  any  case,  the  down-stream  journey  to  St.  Michael's  and 
thence  by  steamer  to  Seattle  is  the  best  way  out  for  the  present  and  for  some  time  to  come. 

The  expense  of  the  journey  may  be  reckoned  as  follows:  Fare  from  New  York  to  Seattle,  via 
Northern  Pacific,  §81.50.  Fee  for  Pullman  sleeper,  $20. 50.  Fee  for  tourist  sleeper,  run  only  west  of 
St.  Paul,  $5.  Meals  served  in  dining  car  for  entire  trip,  $16.  Meals  can  be  got  at  stations  along  the 
route,  a  la  carte.  Distance  from  New  York  to  Seattle,  3,290  miles.  Days  required  to  make  the  jour- 
ney, about  six.  Fare  for  steamer  from  Seattle  to  Juneau,  including  cabin  and  meals,  $32  cabin;  $17 
steerage.  Days,  Seattle  to  Juneau,  about  five.  Number  of  miles  from  Seattle  to  Juneau,  725.  Liv- 
ing in  Juneau,  about  $3  a  day.  Distance  up  Lynn  Canal  to  Dyea,  steamboat,  75  miles.  Number  of 
days  New  York  to  Dyea,  twelve.  Complete  outfit  for  overland  journey,  about  $150.  Provisions  for 
one  year,  $200.  Dogs,  sled^  and  outfit,  about  $150.  Steamer  leaves  Seattle  once  a  week.  Best  time 
to  start  is  early  in  the  Spring.  Total  cost  of  trip  New  York  to  Klondike,  about  $667.  Number  of 
days  required  for  journey.  New  York  to  Klondike,  thirty-six  to  forty.  Total  distance,  Juneau  to  the 
naines  at  Klondike,  650  miles. 

AS  between  the  two  main  routes  the  more  expensive  is  by  steamer  from  Seattle  to  St.  Michael's,  a 
distance  of  2,500  miles,  and  thence  by  river  boat  up  the  Yukon  1,700  miles  to  Dawson  City.  By  this 
river  route  the  fare  is  $180.  Only  150  pounds  of  baggage  is  allowed  on  a  Yukon  River  steamer  for 
each  passenger.

GREATEST  SPEED  OF  TYPEWBITING  OPERATORS, 

As  high  a  speed  as  204  words  has  been  attained  on  some  of  the  leading  machines  in  a  single 
minute  test,  the  operator  writing  from  a  memorized  sentence.  A  continuous  si)eed  of  100  words 
-per  minute  would  probably  be,  however  the  most  that  any  one  of  ihese  instruments  and  its 
operator  would  be  capable  of  attaining  in  actual  work.  This  also  presupposes  writing  from  dicta- 
tion, so  that  the  eyes  of  the  operator  may  be  confined  entirely  to  the  keyboard  of  the  machine. 

SPEED  IN  SHORTHAND  WORK. 

The  rate  at  which  shorthand  can  be  written  is  also  a  question  much  in  dispute,  and  one 
which  has  not  yet  been  satisfactorily  settled.  Single  minute  tests  have  been  had  with  faultless 
transcriptions  reaching  as  high  as  407  words  in  one  minute,  but  for  writing  from  new  matter 
from  continuous  dictation,  252  words  per  minute  for  five  minutes  is  the  highest  authenticated 
speed  known.  When,  however,  it  is  considered  that  the  average  public  6i)eaker  will  not  utter 
more  than  from  150  to  a  possible  175  words  per  minute,  it  will  be  seen  that  this  speed  is  alto- 
gether unnecessary  for  general  work.  The  occasion  of  writing  at  the  rate  named  above — 252 
words  per  minute  for  five  consecutive  minutes  from  new  matter  (the  matter  being  unknown  to 
the  writer)— was  at  an  official  meeting  at  Lake  George,  N.  Y. ,  in  1888.  The  first  prize  upon 
this  occasion  was  awarded  to  Isaac  S.  Dement,  of  Chicago  (afterward  known  as  "the  champion 
shorthand  writer  of  the  world"),  for  writing  252  words  per  minute  for  five  consecutive 
minutes.  Mr.  Dement  claims  to  have  written  stenographically  402  words  in  one  minute  before 
a  business  college  at  Quincy,  111.

♦The  French  Academy  is  one  of  five  academies,  and  the  highest,  constituting  the  Institute  of 
France.  It  was  founded  in  1635  by  the  Cardinal  Richelieu,  and  reorganized  in  1816.  It  is  composed 
of  40  members,  elected  for  life,  after  personal  application  and  the  submission  of  their  nomination  to 
the  head  of  the  State.  It  meets  twice  weekly,  at  the  Palace  Mazarin,  23Quai  Conti,  Paris,  and  is 
' '  the  highest  authority  on  everything  appertaining  to  the  niceties  of  the  French  language,  to  grammar, 
rhetoric,  and  poetry,  and  the  publication  of  the  French  classics. "  The  chief  officer  is  the  secretary, 
who  has  a  life  tenure  of  his  position.  The  present  permanent  secretary  is  Marie  L.  A.  G.  Boissier,  wfio 
was  elected  an  Academician  in  1876.  A  chair  in  the  Academy  is  the  highest  ambition  of  most  literary 
Frenchmen. 

The  other  academies  of  the  Institute  of  France  are:  The  Academy  of  Inscriptions  and  Belles- 
Lettres,  with  40  members;  Academy  of  Sciences,  witheSmembefS;  Academy  of  Fine  Arts,  with  40 
members  (as  follows:  Painting,  14,  sculpture,  8;  architecture,  8-  engraving,  4;  musical  composition, 
6),  and  Academy  of  Moral  and  Political  Science,  with  40  members.    All  members  are  elected  for  life.

ASTRONOMY. 

THi!  most  notable  event  in  astronomical  science  during  the  year  was  the  completion  and  dedioaffoil 
of  the  great  Yerkes  Observatory  in  connection  with  theUniversity  of  Chicago,  111.  This  magnificently 
equipped  institution  far  surpasses  anything  of  the  kind  in  the  world.  The  great  telescope,  which  is 
its  principal  distinguishing  feature,  has  an  object  glass  40  inches  in  diameter,  and  the  lenses  alone  cost 
$66,000  ;  the  mounting  of  the  telescope,  that  is,  the  tube,  cells  for  holding  the  lenses,  and  the  equatorial 
movements,  etc.,  $55,000;  the  dome,  some  90  feet  in  diameter,  $45,000,  and  the  observatory  building, 
$135,000.  In  the  matter  of  space-penetrating  or  light-gathering  power,  which  is  of  so  much  importance 
in  refined  astronomical  researches,  this  telescope  exceeds  the  Lick  telescope  by  more  than  one-fifth,  the 
ratio  of  the  surface  area  of  the  two  glasses  being  as  8i  to  100.  The  tests  hitherto  made  on  difiScult 
double  stars  and  exceedingly  faint  nebulae  have  been  very  satisfactory,  and  so  far  no  doubt  what- 
ever exists  of  its  ability  to  contribute  much  to  our  present  knowledge  oi  some  of  the  more  refined  and 
difficult  problems  in  observational  astronomy. 

The  Flower  Observatory,  in  connection  with  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  has  recently  been 
completed,  and  ranks,  as  regards  instrumental  equipment,  among  those  of  the  first  class. 

A  mirror,  some  five  feet  in  diameter,  and  having  a  focal  length  of  about  sixty  feet,  has  been  made  by 
Rev.  Dr.  Peate  tor  the  American  University  at  Washington,  now  in  process  of  erection.  This  mirror  is 
said  to  have  an  excellent  figure,  and  when  silvered  and  mounted  will  be  the  largest  reflecting  telescope 
of  its  kind  in  the  world,  surpassing  in  light-grasping  iwwer  both  the  Yerkes  and  Lick  telescopes,  the 
reflector  of  Lord  Rosse,  as  well  as  the  great  Melbourne  reflector  of  Australia. 

During  the  year  two  comets  have  been  discovered,  both  telescopic  and  of  little  importance.  Several 
asteroids  have  also  been  found,  the  tota'  number  being  now  about  405.  The  discovery  of  these  bodies 
does  not  now  excite  much  interest  amor,'?;  astronomers. 

A  wonderful  invention,  which  is  likf^ly  to  cause  a  revolution  in  astronomical  science  as  well  as  in 
photography  and  microscopy,  has  been  recently  made  by  Dr.  Elmer  Gates,  of  Washington,  D  O.  By 
means  of  this  new  appliance  Dr.  Gates  has  succeeded  in  increasing  the  power  of  the  common  micro- 
scope to  an  almost  unlimited  extent.  He  has  applied  the  same  principle  to  the  telescope,  and  has 
obtained  results  with  a  small  instrament  which  indicate  the  most  astonishing  possibilities  when  his 
appliance  is  used  with  the  Lick  or  Yerkes  telescope.  With  such  an  instrument  the  moon,  for  instance, 
would  be  brought  visually  within  a  distance  of  twenty  or  thirty  miles,  and  with  a  large  telescope  we 
may  expect  to  see  objects  thii-ty  ff^e^j;  wide.  If  these  results  be  realized  we  shall  be  able  to  determine 
the  nature  of  the  canals  of  Mars,  es  well  as  the  various  obscure  workingm  on  the  surface  of  other  planets. 
It  is,  however,  in  photography  that  this  new  invention  is  likely  to  work  a  complete  revolution,  since 
it  enables  a  photograph  to  be  taken  with  an  almost  infinitesimal  portion  of  light.  The  principle  consists 
essentially  in  applying  a  microscope  to  magnify  the  image  produced  by  another  microscope  or  telescope, 
having  first  removed  the  ocular  lens  of  the  eye-piece  of  the  latter.  A  very  small  portion  of  the  first 
image  is  therefore  magnified  as  though  it  were  the  original  object.  In  photographing  with  the  chemical 
rays  chiefly,  the  interior  of  the  microscope  and  camera  are  first  deprived  of  all  dust  and  aqueous  vapor, 
which  would,  if  allowed  to  remain,  catch  and  diffuse  the  rays  of  light,  and  would  also  photograph 
themselves  more  conspicuously  than  the  details  of  the  image. 

CHEMISTRY. 

A  French  scientist,  M.  Villedieu  Chassagne,  has  invented  a  method  of  taking  photographs  in  colors. 
The  process  was  tested  recently  in  the  presence  of  a  number  of  English  scientists,  and  found  to  be  quite 
satisfactory.  A  negative  is  taken  on  a  gelatine  plate  prepared  by  treatment  with  a  certain  solution,  the 
composition  of  which  has  not  yet  been  made  known.  A  print  is  then  taken  on  glass  or  paper  treated 
with  the  same  solution,  the  transparency  or  print  showing  as  yet  no  trace  of  color.  This  is  then  treated 
with  blue,  green,  and  red  solutions,  which,  by  their  combinations,  impart  to  the  subject  all  its  varieties 
of  hue  by  what  is  called  selective  absorption.  The  composition  of  the  solutions  employed,  four  in  num- 
ber, is  unfortunately  kept  a  secret. 

The  element  fluorine,  which  is,  under  ordinary  circumstances,  a  gas,  and  has  hitherto  resisted  all 
attempts  at  liquefying  it,  has  at  last  been  reduced  to  the  liquid  state  by  means  of  liquid  oxygen. 
The  apparatus  in  which  the  experiment  was  made  was  cooled  down  to  a  temperature  of  1830  below 
zero,  and  a  current  of  fluorine  gas  passed  through  it.  A  yellow  liquid  was  formed,  which,  when 
exposed  to  the  air,  evaporated  with  explosive  violence. 

Artificial  diamonds  have  been  lately  produced  by  carburetting  iron,  fusing  in  an  electric  furnace,  and 
allowing  it  to  fall  into  a  stratum  of  mercury  covered  with  a  layer  of  water;  granules  of  angular  shape 
are  obtained  saturated  with  carbon,  and  containing  both  black  and  transparent  diamonds. 

An  extensive  series  of  experiments  have  been  made  with  the  view  of  obtaining  an  approximation  to 
the  temperature  of  the  sun's  surface,  which,  in  round  numbers,  has  been  put  down  at  8,000°  C.  This, 
of  course,  can  only  be  accepted  as  a  rough  approximation.  A  new  naethod  has  been  devised  by  the  aid 
of  electrolysis  for  preparing  metallic  lithium  and  beryllium.  The  process  is  very  elaborate,  but  the 
metals  themselves  have  not  yet  been  applied  to  any  practical  use. 

GEOLOGY  AND  EXPLORATION. 

Geological  researches  and  exploration  have  been  carried  on  with  the  usual  energy  and  vigor,  both  in 
the  United  States  and  Canada ;  vast  regions,  hitherto  little  tnown,  have  been  explored  from  a  geological 
point  of  view,  and  many  valuable  deposits  of  minerals  have  been  discovered.  Among  the  most  import- 
ant researches  are  those  of  the  Narragansett  coal  field,  coal-bed  floras,  the  gold  belt  of  California,  Oregon, 
Washington,  and  Alaska;  the  mineral  regions  of  Colorado,  Montana,  and  Idaho;  the  glacial  lake 
Agassiz,  and  the  ancient  volcanic  rocks  of  South  Mountain,  Pa.,  in  this  country,  and  in  Canada,  the  ex- 
ploration of  Labrador,  and  of  the  precambrian  rocks  and  fossils  of  Lake  Superior,  Keewaytin,  and 
Ne\vfoundland.  The  work  of  the  Canadian  geologists  throws  some  light  on  the  Pleistocene  glaciation 
as  regards  the  formation  of  the  St.  Lawrence  Valley  and  adjacent  territories,  and  also  on  the  probable 
cause  of  the  glacial  period  which  would  appear  to  be  due  not  entirely  to  changes  in  the  elevation  of  the 
land,  the  distribution  of  land  and  water,  or  to  atmospheric  and  oceanic  currents,  conditions  which  did 
not  probably  occur  synchronously  in  both  hemispheres,  or  even  in  both  continents,  but  to  some  general 
cosmic  influence  affecting  simultaneously  the  whole  circumpolar  and  north  temperate  regions  of  the 
earth  during  Pleistocene  or  glacial  time. 

In  Labrador  vast  beds  of  very  rich  iron  ore,  corundum,  and  other  minerals  have  been  found,  and 
very  extensive  gold  fields  have  been  discovered  on  the  tributaries  of  the  Yukon,  both  in  the  United 
States  and  Canada.  The  extensive  lava-covered  region  embracing  northern  California,  central  and 
eastern  Oregon,  the    southeastern  part  of  Washin^fton,  and  the  southern  portion  of  Idaho  has  been  thor-

oughly  explored.  This  great  plateau  has  been  deeply  dissected  by  the  rivers  which  have  excavated  vast 
cafions  during  several  geologic  ages — in  fact,  ever  since  the  Miocene  period.  The  most  important  of 
these  cafions  is  that  cut  by  Snake  River.  From  its  mouth  to  Lewiston  it  is  quite  narrow,  and  2,000  feet 
deep;  but  where  it  forms  the  boundary  between  Washington  and  Idaho  its  gorge  is  about  4,000  feet 
deep  and  15  miles  broad.  This  portion  compares  favorably  with  the  grand  canon  of  the  Colorado,  that 
patriarch  of  American  rivers,  except  that  it  lacks  the  gorgeous  coloring  to  which  so  much  of  the  charm 
of  its  southern  rival  is  due.  In  the  walls  of  this  Snake  River  cafion  the  summits  of  steep  angular  moun- 
tains are  exposed  to  view,  2,500  feet  above  the  river,  and  these  are  buried  under  more  than  1,600  feet  of 
lava.    It  is  probably  the  most  extensive  lava  bed  in  the  world. 

In  the  geological  survey  of  Canada,  three  series  of  ancient  beaches  were  discovered  on  the  south 
side  of  the  St.  Lawrence  Valley,  at  heights  varying  from  600  to  885  feet  above  the  present  level  of  the 
river.  These  shore  lines  are  shown  to  be  of  marine  origin,  and  mark  the  margins  of  the  sea  in  the  St. 
Lawrence  Valley  during  various  times  in  the  Pleistocene  period.  According  to  the  researches  of  the 
eminent  geologists.  Professors  Spencer  and  Gilbert,  the  surface  of  the  earth  near  the  Great  Lakes  of 
North  America  is  sinking  at  the  rate  of  about  an  inch  in  ten  years.  If  this  is  the  case  a  few  centuries 
will  suffice  to  put  Chicago  and  Detroit  under  water,  and  in  about  a  thousand  years  Lake  Michigan  will 
flow  into  the  Mississippi,  and  in  about  three  thousand  years  the  Niagara  will  become  dry,  while,  at  the 
same  time,  the  land  bordering  on  Hudson  Bay  is  slowly  rising. 

Some  accurate  information  has  been  obtained  in  regard  to  the  temperature  of  the  earth's  crust  below 
the  surface.  In  an  oil  well  at  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  a  depth  of  5,386  feet  has  been  reached.  A  flow  of  gas  was 
struck  at  2,185  feet,  and  at  2,350  feet  the  temperature  was  780,  and  at  5,000  feet  it  was  120.9O,  which 
would  indicate  a  temperature  of  127°  at  the  bottom.  Assuming  that  the  temperature  increases  at  this 
rate,  at  the  depth  of  ten  miles  it  would  be  sufficient  to  fuse  most  rocks  and  many  of  the  metals. 

Two  polar  expeditions  have  recently  been  undertaken— one  by  Prof.  Nansen,  who  penetrated  further 
north  than  any  of  his  predecessors,  and  the  other  to  the  South  Pole,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Belgian 
Government,  which  has  not  yet  returned. 

A  discovery  relating  to  the  antiquity  of  man  on  this  earth  has  been  lately  made  in  England.  It 
tends  to  pro 76  the  existence  of  man  in  Britain  at  a  much  earlier  period  than  has  been  previously  as- 
signed. Several  specimens  of  flints  which  bear  a  striking  resemblance  to  the  work  of  man  have  been 
found  sticking  in  the  iron-pan  at  Cromer  Forest  iron  mines,  near  Runton.  This  forest  bed  is  regarded 
by  geologists  as  forming  the  top  of  the  Pleiocene  series,  and  contains  forms  of  the  cave  bear,  rhinoceros, 
elephant,  and  other  mammals,  living  and  extinct. 

Another  interesting  discovery  bearine:  on  the  same  subject  has  just  been  made  in  Mason  County,  Ky., 
where  the  bones  of  a  mastodon  and  evidences  of  the  work  of  man  have  been  found.  Beneath  the 
strata  of  gravel  in  which  the  bones  were  imbedded  are  large  slabs  of  limestone  side  by  side,  each 
slab  measuring  five  feet  in  length  and  eighteen  inches  in  width.  They  were  laid  perfectly  level,  and 
were  artistically  hewn. 

An  exploration  of  the  mysterious  and  magnificent  ruined  city  of  Uxmal,  in  Yucatan,  Mexico,  has 
lately  been  made  by  Prof.  Holmes,  of  the  Smithsonian  Institution,  Washington,  D.  C.  This  splendid 
city  had  been  abandoned  long  before  Columbus  started  on  his  voyage  of  discovery,  but  the  history  of  the 
people  who  inhabited  it  and  the  cause  of  its  destruction  are  shrouded  in  the  deepestiinystery. 

During  the  year  several  distinguished  scientists  were  called  away  from  their  earthly  researches. 
Among  the  most  prominent  may  be  mentioned  Alvin  G.  Clark,  of  telescopic  fame;  Professors  Mayer  and 
Wood,  of  Hoboken,  N.  J. ;  Prof.  E.  D.  Cope,  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania ;  Gen.  Francis  A.  Walker, 
of  Boston;  Professor  Fresenius,  the  distinguished  chemist,  and  Dr.  B.  A.  Gould,  th.©  eminent  astronomer.

The  American  Philological  Association  has  recommended  the  following  *  •  Rules  for  New  Spell- 
ings, ' '  and  a  resolution  has  been  introduced  in  Congress  instructing  the  Public  Printer  to  conform  to 
them  in  all  printing  for  the  Government: 

1.  Drop  UE  at  the  end  of  words  like  dialogue,  catalogue,  etc. ,  where  the  preceding  vowel  is  short. 
Thus  spell  demagog,  epilog,  synagog,  etc. 

2.  Drop  final  e  m  such  words  as  definite,  infinite,  favorite,  eta ,  where  the  preceding  vowel  Is 
short.    Thus  spell  opposit,  preterit,  hypocrit,  requisit,  etc. 

3.  Drop  final  te  in  words  like  quartette,  coquette,  cigarette,  eta  Thus  speU  cigaret,  roset, 
epaulet,  vedet,  gazet,  etc. 

4.  Drop  final  me  in  words  like  programme.    Thus  spell  program,  oriflam,  gram,  eta 

5.  Change  ph  to  f  in  words  like  phantom,  telegraph,  phase,  etc.  Thus  spell  alfabet,  paragraf, 
filosofv,  fonetic,  fotograf,  etc. 

6.  Substitute  e  for  the  diphthongs  m  and  ck  when  they  have  the  sound  of  that  letter.  Thus  spell 
eolin,  esthetic,  diarrhea,  subpena,  esofagus,  atheneum,  etc. 

The  Association  says:  '  *■  English  spelling  is  the  worst  in  the  world.  Millions  of  dollars  are  wasted 
each  year  in  the  writing  and  printing  or  useless  letters.  The  education  of  our  children  is  retarded  and 
the  progress  of  our  people  is  hampered  by  our  cumbrous,  illogical,  misleading  orthografy.  The 
scholarship  of  the  world  is  almost  a  unit  in  demanding  a  change. ' '

384  American   Institute   of  Instruction. 

TiTE  University  Extension  movement  was  started  by  the  University  of  Cambridge,  England,  in 
1872.  In  that  year  Professor  Stuart  gave  a  course  of  lectures  before  various  women's  clubs  in  the 
north  of  England,  The  popular  favor  which  his  lectures  instantly  won  encouraged  him  to  repeat 
them  before  audiences  of  different  character  and  make-up  in  all  parts  of  the  country.  From  this  be- 
ginning the  growth  of  the  movement  was  constant  both  under  the  direction  of  Cambridge  University 
and  later  under  the  direction  of  Oxford  and  of  the  London  Society  for  University  Extension. 

The  American  Society  for  the  Extension  of  University  Teaching  was  founded  at  Philadelphia  In 
June,  1890.  Its  objects  are:  To  organize  groups  of  people  into  centres,  and  to  bring  together  these 
centres  and  competent  lecturers,  chosen  from  the  list  of  instructors,  whose  qualifications  to  teach 
have  been  passed  upon  by  the  Society;  to  cooperate  as  far  as  possible  with  institutions  of  learning  and 
other  bodies  with  the  purpose  of  bringing  to  the  many  the  best  thought  of  the  few,  to  keep  the  Uni- 
versity Extension  idea  before  the  country  by  the  Society's  agents  and  publications.    It  offers: 

First— Education  by  means  of  systematic  courses  of  lectures  and  classes  in  the  subjects  usually 
taught  at  high  schools  and  universities. 

Second— Illustrated  lectures  and  classes  in  literature,  art,  and  science,  with  the  purpose  of  teaching 
the  appreciation  of  the  beautiful,  and  rendering  life  more  interesting  and  enjoyable. 

Third— Lectures  and  classes  in  history,  civics,  and  economics,  designed  to  aid  the  citizen  in  study- 
ing the  problems  of  free  government  and  modern  life  and  to  encourage  a  sense  of  responsibility, 
habits  of  sound  thinking,  and  right  conduct. 

The  present  Board  of  Directors  of  the  American  Society  is  constituted  as  follows:  Charles  A. 
Brinley,  M.  G.  Brumbaugh,  Charles  E.  Bushnell,  John  H.  Converse,  Walter  C.  Douglas,  Theodore 
N.  Ely,  Charles  C.  Harrison,  William  H.  Ingham,  John  S.  Mcintosh,  Fredericlc  B.  Miles,  Henry  S. 
Pancoast.  J.  G.  Rosengarten,  Justus  G  Strawbridge,  Charlemagne  Tower,  Jr.,  Stuart  Wood.  The 
oflBcers of  the  Society  are:  President,  Charles  A.  Brinley;  Treasurer,  Frederick  B.  Miles;  Acting 
Secretary,  John  Nolen. 

Since  the  organization  of  the  American  Society  there  have  been  delivered  under  its  auspices 
4,110  lectures,  usually  in  courses  of  six  lectures  each ;  the  average  attendance  at  each  lecture  has  been 
175,  and  the  aggregate  attendance  712,632.  The  average  annual  attendance  at  courses  is  15, 000; 
and  of  this  number  10  per  cent,  or  1,500,  pursue  the  systematic  reading  and  study  recommended  by 
the  lecturer.  During  1896-97  ten  courses  of  lectures  were  given  to  audiences  made  up  mainly  of 
artisans;  the  total  attendance  was  2,522.  Admission  to  these  lectures  was  free,  or  at  a  nominal 
charge  of  25  cents  for  a  course  ticket. 

From  Philadelphia  the  movement  has  extended  to  many  States.  In  Rhode  Island  Brown  Uni- 
versity has  organized  many  centres.  In  Connecticut  representatives  of  Yale,  Wesleyan,  Trinity,  and 
the  Hartford  Theological  Seminary  are  on  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  State  branch  of  the 
American  Society.  In  New  York  the  University  of  the  State,  through  its  Secretary,  Mr.  Melvil 
Dewey,  has  arranged  for  Extension  lectures  in  many  importanf  towns  and  cities.  Rutgers  College,  as 
the  agricultural  college  of  New  Jersey,  has  offered  scientific  courses  especially  for  the  farmers  of  the 
State.  The  Universities  of  Wisconsin,  Indiana,  Kansas,  and  California  have  done  much  for  their  re- 
spective States.  Chicago  University  has  made  for  University  Extension  a  special  department.  Con- 
ferences held  from  time  to  time  in  Philadelphia  have  been  an  important  feature  of  the  movement 
The  first  World's  Congress  on  University  Extension  was  held  in  Chicago  in  August,  1893. 

The  American  Society  for  the  Extension  of  University  Teaching  publishes  The  Citizen^  a  monthly 
journal  containing  articles  of  such  a  character  as  to  be  supplementary  to  the  teaching  of  the  Society— 
booli  reviews  and  notes  and  University  Extension  news  and  announcements.  Valuable  syllabi,  giving 
a  careful  outline  of  the  lectures,  together  with  lists  of  recommended  books  and  questions  for  essays, 
are  published  in  connection  with  the  lecture  courses.  Information  in  reference  to  the  movement  can 
be  obtained  by  addressing  University  Extension,  111  South  Fifteenth  Street,  Philadelphia.

'ihe  Chautauqua  Assembly  was  organized  in  1874  as  the  result  of  a  joint  plan  of  Lewis  Miller  and 
John  H.  Vincent.  It  holds  annual  sessions  during  July  and  August  at  Chautauqua,  N.  Y.  The  plan 
includes  courses  of  instruction  in  language,  literature,  science,  and  art,  lecture  courses,  musicales, 
recitals,  and  concerts,  and  various  forms  of  entertainment  and  recreation. 

Ihe  Chautauqua  Literary  and  Scientific  Circle,  J.  L.  Hurlbut,  New  York,  General  Secretary;  Kate 
F.  Kimball,  Buffalo,  Executive  Secretary,  was  organized  at  Chautauqua  in  1878,  with  the  aim  of  con- 
tinuing the  influence  of  the  Assembly  throughout  the  year  in  all  parts  of  the  country.  Since  that  time 
more  than  two  hundred  and  twenty-eight  thousand  members  have  been  enrolled.  The  Circle  aims  to 
promote  habits  of  reading  and  study  in  history,  literature,  science,  and  art,  in  connection  with  the  rou- 
tine of  daily  life.  The  course  seeks  to  give  ' '  the  college  outlook ' '  on  the  world  and  life.  The  essentials 
of  the  plan  are :  A  definite  course  covering  four  years,  each  year' s  course  complete  in  itself ;  specified  vol- 
umes approved  by  the  counsellors,  allotment  of  time  by  the  week  and  month,  a  monthly  magazine 
with  additional  readings  and  notes,  a  membership  book  with  review  outlines,  and  other  aid.  Individual 
readers  may  have  all  the  privileges,  and  local  circles  may  be  formed  by  three  or  four  members.  The 
time  required  is  about  one  hour  daily  for  nine  months.  Certificates  are  granted  to  all  who  complete 
the  course.  Seals  are  affixed  to  the  certificates  which  are  granted  for  collateral  and  advanced  reading. 
Any  one  may  become  a  member  of  the  C.  L.  S.  C.  by  sending  an  application  together  witti  50  cents

mer of  1892  under  the  auspices  of  distinguished  clergymen  and  laymen,  and  the  first  meetings  were 
held  from  July  30  to  August  14.  Tne  association  has  since  acquired  a  site  at  CliflF  Haven,  near  Platts- 
burg, N.  Y. ,  on  Lake  Champlain,  upon  which  the  necessary  buildings  have  been  erected,  and  here 
the  Summer  School  is  held  annually  m  July  and  August.  The  work  of  the  institution  is  continued 
throughout  the  year  by  means  of  reading  circles  and  study  clubs  on  the  University  ExteusioQ  plan. 


Ki^t  J^eatjotrg  iStrucation  jFttntr* 

In  1867  and  1869  George  Peabody  established  a  fund  of  $3,500,000,  to  be  devoted  to  education  in 
the  Southern  States  of  the  Union.  Unfortunately,  $1,380,000  of  this  amount  was  in  Mississippi  and 
Florida  bonds,  which  those  States  have  repudiated.  The  fund  was  placed  in  the  charge  and  con- 
trol of  15  trustees,  of  which  the  Hon.  Robert  C.  Winthrop,  of  Massachusetts,  was  the  chairman.  Mr. 
Peabody  died  in  London  in  1869.  The  trustees  hold  meetings  annually,  usually  in  New  York.  They 
fill  vacancies  caused  by  death  or  resignation.  But  one  of  the  original  trustees  survives— Ex -Senator 
Evarts.  The  present  trustees  are:  William  M.  Evarts,  who  is  President  of  the  board;  Chief  Justice 
Fuller,  First  Vice-President;  Rt.  Rev.  Bishop  Whipple,  Second  Vice-President;  Hon.  Jabez  L.  M 
Curry,  LL.  D.,  General  Agent;  Joseph  H.  Choate,  J.  Pierpont  Morgan,  of  New  York:  ex- Presi- 
dent Grover  Cleveland,  of  New  Jersey;  Samuel  A.  Green,  Richard  Olney,  and  George  F.  Hoar,  of 
Massachusetts;  William  Wirt  Heniiy,of  Virginia;  ex- Mayor  William  A.  Courtenay,  of  South  Carolina: 
James  D.  Porter,  of  Tennessee;  Haaderson  M,  Somerville,  of  New  York;  President  D.  C.  Gilman,  of 
Johns  Hopkins  University;  George  Peabody  Wetmore,  of  Rhode  Island,and  Charles  E.  Fenner,  of 
Louisiana.  Dr.  Curry  is  general  agent  of  the  fund,  with  headquarters  at  Washington,  D.  C. ,  and  has 
charge  of  the  distribution  of  the  fund  in  the  several  Southern  States.  In  its  earlier  history,  the  chief  aim 
of  the  fund  was  to  encourage  and  secure  the  establishment  of  public  school  systems  for  the  free  educa- 
tion of  all  children.  That  having  been  accomplished,  the  income  of  the  fund  is  now  used  for  the 
training  of  teachers  through  Normal  Schools  and  Teachers'  Institutes.  At  its  last  session  in  October, 
1896,  the  board  declared  it  to  be  inexpedient  to  close  the  Trust  in  February,  1897,  the  power  to  do 
whicn  was  left  to  its  discretio  n.  In  the  thi  rty  years  since  the  organization  of  the  Trust,  $2 ,500,509  have 
been  spent,  as  the  income  of  the  sum  left  by  Mr.  Peabody.    Mr.  J.  Pierpont  Morgan  is  the  Treasurer. 

^^t  Jofin  JF*  .Slater  jFuntr* 

In  1882  Mr  JohnF.  Slater,  of  Connecticut,  placed  in  the  hands  of  trustees  the  sum  of  $1,000,000, 
for  the  purpose  of  "  uplifting  the  lately  emancipated  population  of  the  Southern  States  and  their 
posterity. ' '  For  this  patriotic  and  munificent  gift  the  thanks  of  Congress  were  voted,  and  a  medal  was 
^resented.  Neither  principal  nor  income  is  expended  for  land  or  buildings.  Education  in  industries 
and  the  preparation  of  teachers  are  promoted  in  institutions  believed  to  be  on  a  permanent  basis.  The 
board  consists  of  D.  C.  Gilman,  of  Johns  Hopkins  University,  as  President;  Chief  Justice  FuUer,  as 
Vice-President;  Morris  K.  Jesup,  as  Treasurer ;  J.  L.  M  Curry,  as  Secretary  and  General  Manager, 
and  Bishops  Potter  and  Galloway,  and  Messrs.  William  E.  Dodge,  William  A.  Slater,  John  A  Stew- 
art, Alexander  E.  Orr,  ex-Governor  Northen,  and  Wm.  L.  Wilson.  The  fund  is  a  potential  agency  in 
working  out  the  problem  of  the  education  of  the  negro,  and  over  half  a  million  of  dollars  has  already 
been  expended.  Schools  established  by  States,  denominations,  and  individuals  are  helped  by  annual 
donations.  Among  the  most  prominent  are  the  Hampton  Normal  and  Industrial,  the  Spelman, 
the  Tuskegee,  and  schools  at  Orangeburg,  S.  C. ;  Tongaloo,  Miss. ;  Marshall,  Tex. ;  the  Meharry  Medi- 
cal CoUege  at  Nashville,  etc.

COLORED  MASONIC  BODIES. 

Enoch  R.  Spaulding,  Grand  Master  of  the  Most  Worshipful  Grand  Lodge  of  the  Most  Ancient  and 
Honorable  Fraternity  or  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  of  the  State  of  New  York,  has  revised  the  follow- 
ing information  about  the  organizations  of  colored  Masons  in  the  United  States: 

There  are  thirty-one  grand  lodges  in  as  many  different  States  of  the  United  States  and  one  In  Canada. 
The  Prince  Hall  Grand  Lodge,  of  Massachusetts,  is  the  oldest  lodge,  having  been  organized  in  the  year 
1808.  It  was  the  outgrowth  of  African  Lodge,  No.  459,  the  warrant  for  which  was  granted  to  Prince 
Hall  and  fifteen  other  colored  Masons  September  24,  1784.  The  one  hundredth  anniversary  of  this 
event  was  celebrated  at  Boston  on  Monday,  September  24. 1884,  and  was  attended  by  a  large  concourse 
of  colored  Masons  from  all  parts  of  the  United  States.  In  1895  the  Massachusetts  grand  lodge  erected 
a  fine  monument  at  Boston  to  Prince  Hall.  The  Grand  Lodge  of  Missouri  has  jurisdiction  over  the 
largest  number  of  Masons,  there  being  nearly  6,000  names  on  its  membership  roll.  The  number  of 
colored  Masons  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  is  35,113;  Roj'al  Arch,  13,000;  Knights  Templar, 
10,335;  Nobles  of  the  Mystic  Shrine,  1,326;  A.  A.  S.  Rite,  5,712. 

Prince  Hall  and  his  associates  were  made  Masons  in  a  lodge  of  emergency,  composed  of  army 
officers,  during  the  Revolutionary  War,  and  were  subsequently  granted  the  warrant  above  mentioned. 

The  Grand  Lodge  of  New  York,  organized  in  1848,  has  jurisdiction  over  thirty- three  lodges,  located 
in  different  parts  of  the  State.  The  total  membership  is  about  1,100.  There  is  a  relief  association, 
known  as  the  Hiram  Masonic  Relief  Association  of  the  State  of  New  York,  controlled  and  managed  by 
the  officers  of  the  Grand  Lodge.    Enoch  R.  Spaulding,  Oswego,  New  York,  is  Grand  Master. 

The  Ancient  Arabic  Order  of  the  Nobles  of  the  Mystic  Shrine  is  not  a  regular  Masonic  body, 
but  its  membership  is  composed  strictly  of  Masons  who  have  reached  the  32d  degree,  A.  A  S.  Rite

United  States,  and  a  total  membership  of  about  45,000. 

The  following  are  the  imperial  officers  for  the  United  States  for  1898:  Imverial  Potentate,  Albert 
B.  McGaffey,  Denver,  Col.  ;  Imperial  Deputy  Potentate,  Ethelbert  F.  Allen,  Kansas  City,  Mo.  ;

The  following  statement  of  the  origin  and  purposes  of  the  order  is  from  an  official  source:  The 
Order  of  the  Nobles  of  the  Mystic  Shrine  was  instituted  by  the  Mohammedan  Kalif  Alee,  the  cousin- 
german  and  son-in-law  of  the  Prophet  Mohammed,  in  the  year  of  the  Hegira  25  (a.  d.  656),  at 
Mekkah,  in  Arabia,  as  an  Inquisition,  or  Vigilance  Committee,  to  dispense  justice  and  execute  punish- 
ment upon  criminals  who  escape  their  just  deserts  through  the  tardiness  of  the  courts,  and  also  to 
promote  religious  toleration  among  cultured  men  of  all  nations.  The  ostensible  object  is  to  increase 
the  faith  and  fidelity  of  all  true  believers  in  Allah.  The  secret  and  real  purpose  can  only  be  made 
known  to  those  whc  have  encircled  the  Mystic  Shrine.  Its  membership  in  all  countries  includes  Chris- 
tians, Israelites,  Moslems,  and  men  in  high  positions  of  learning  and  of  power.  The  order  in  America 
does  not  advocate  Mohammedanism  as  a  sect,  but  inculcates  the  same  respect  to  Deity  here  as  in 
Arabia  and  elsewhere,  

This  is  a  society  composed  of  Masons  in  good  and  regular  standing  and  their  wives,  mother*,  sis- 
ters, and  daughters,  and  the  widows  of  Masons.  No  other  persons  are  eligible  to  membership.  The 
organization  took  its  rise  in  the  city  of  New  York  in  1868.  The  grand  chapter  of  the  State  of  New 
York  was  established  in  November,  1870.  The  order  has  extended  over  the  United  States,  and  there 
are  now  twenty-four  grand  chapters  in  as  many  States.  In  the  State  of  New  York  there  are  seventy- 
four  chapters  and  a  membership  of  10,000,  twenty-eight  chapters  being  in  the  city  of  New  York  and 
Brooklyn. 

The  following,  according  to  the  last  report  to  The  World  Almanac,  are  officers  of  the  New 
York  grand  chapter:  3f.  W.  Go-and  Matron,  Mrs.  Jessie  M.  Ray,  Rochester;  M.  W.  Orand  Patron,

ship of  50,000  women  in  the  United  States  and  foreign  countries.  The  purpose  oi  the  Federation  is

various  women's  clubs  throughout  the  world,  that  they  may  compare  methods  of  work  and  become 
mutually  helpful.  Constitutions  of  clubs  applying  for  membership  should  show  that  no  sect  'anism 
or  political  test  is  required,  and,  while  the  distinctively  humanitarian  movements  may  be  recomized. 
their  chief  purpose  is  not  philanthropic  or  technical,  but  social,  literary,  artistic.^  or  scientific  culture. ' ' 
Meetings  oi  the  Federation  are  held  biennially,  the  last  meeting  having  been  in  May,  1896.  There

The  first  National  Congress  of  Mothers  was  held  in  the  city  of  Washington,  D.  C,  beginning 
February  17, 1897,  and  delegates  attended  in  large  numbers  from  all  parts  of  the  United  States.  Mrs. 
Theodore  Birney,  of  Washington,  presided.  A  reception  was  given  them  by  Mrs.  President  Cleve- 
land. The  purpose  of  the  Congress  was  set  forth  in  the  following  statement  made  by  the  President, 
Mrs.  Birney,  in  the  course  of  her  opening  address: 

"  This  is  In  no  sense  a  sex  movement,  nor  has  the  appeal  to  take  np  this  child  culture  and  kindred  topics  been  made  to  mothers 
alone.  Men  have  a  thousand  imperative  outside  interests  and  pursuits,  while  nature  has  set  her  seal  apon  woman  as  the  caretaker  of 
the  child,  and  it  is  therefore  divinely  natural  that  woman  should  lead  in  awakening  all  mankind  to  a  sense  of  the  responsibilities 
resting  upon  the  race  to  provide  each  new-bom  soul  with  an  environment  which  will  foster  its  highest  development.  The  love  of 
childhood  is  a  common  tie  which  should  unite  us  in  holiest  purpose,  and  on  this  common  ground  of  our  beatitiful  national  capital  let 
us  devote  our  bes  efforts  during  these  three  days  to  a  prayerful  consideration  of  our  highest  objects,  and  go  forth  determined  to  bring 
the  work  to  full  fruition.  It  has  been  truly  said,  '  to  cure  was  the  voice  of  the  past,  to  prevent  the  divine  whisper  of  to-day.'  Let 
mothers,  fathers,  nurses,  educators,  ministers,  legislators,  and,  mightiest  of  all  in  its  swift,  far-reaching  influence,  the  press,  make  the 
child  the  watcnword  and  ward  of  the  day  and  hour  ;  let  all  else  be  secondary,  and  those  of  us  who  live  to  see  the  year  193(  wUl 
behold  a  new  world  and  a  new  people."

^Je  ^l&rosopijical  <Soctet5  in  America, 

The  Theosophical  Society  was  founded  by  Mme.  H.  P.  Blavatsky,  William  Q.  Judge,  and  others. 
In  the  year  187o,  iu  New  York.  Mme.  Blavatsky  was  the  leader  of  the  entire  movement,  although 
she  never  held  any  other  official  position  than  that  of  Corresponding  Secretary.  She  died  in  1891. 
Mr.  William  Q.  Judge  then  became  her  successor,  and  leader.  His  death  occurred  March  21,  1896, 
and  he  named  as  his  successor  Mrs.  Katherine  A.  Tingley,  under  whose  leadership  the  movement 
has  expanded  to  large  proportions  throughout  the  world.  She  declined  the  Presidency  or  any  other 
official  position.  The  President  of  the  Society  is  Mr.  E.  Aug.  Neresheimer,  ol  New  York.  He  has 
also  jeen  elected  President  of  the  Theosophical  Society  in  Europe  and  of  the  Theosophical  Society  in 
Australasia.  All  the  great  divisions  of  the  Society  are  autonomous.  Branches  and  divisions  exist 
throughout  the  world  in  Europe,  Asia,  Africa,  and  Australasia.  The  Theosophical  Society  in  America 
has  jurisdiction  in  North  and  South  America.  There  is  a  headquarters  at  No.  144  Madison  Avenue, 
where  the  Society  owns  a  large  house,  and  a  Theosophical  meeting  is  held  every  Tuesday  evening 
and  a  public  lecture  given  each  Sunday  evening  at  8.15.  The  Society  has  now  144  branches,  located 
in  most  of  the  principal  cities  in  ihe  United  States.  There  are  six  divisions  of  adjoining  States  and 
Territories  which  are  organized  into  committees.  Addresses  and  other  information  may  be  obtained 
from  the  headquarters  at  No.  144  Madison  A  venue.  New  York. 

The  following  statement  has  been  prepared  for  The  World  Almanac: 

The  principal  aim  and  object  of  this  society  is  to  form  a  nucleus  of  universal  brotherhood  without 
any  distinctions  whatever.  The  subsidiary  objects  are:  The  study  of  ancient  and  modern  religions, 
philosophies,  and  sciences,  and  the  demonstration  of  the  Importance  of  such  study;  and  the  investi- 
gation of  the  unexplained  laws  of  nature  and  the  psychical  powers  latent  in  man. 

The  Society  appeals  for  support  and  encouragement  to  all  who  truly  love  their  fellow  men  and  desire 
the  eradication  of  the  evils  caused  by  the  barriers  raised  by  race,  creed, or  color  which  have  so  long  im- 
peded human  progress;  to  all  scholars,  to  all  sincere  lovers  of  truth,  wheresoever  it  may  be  foundy  and 
to  all  philosophers,  alike  in  the  East  and  in  the  West ;  and  lastly,  to  all  who  aspire  to  higher  and  better 
things  than  the  mere  pleasures  and  interests  of  a  worldly  life,  and  are  prepared  to  make  the  sacrifices 
by  whicli  alone  a  knowledge  of  them  can  be  attained. 

The  Society  represents  no  particular  creed,  is  entirely  unsectarian,  and  includes  professors  of  all 
faiths.  No  person's  religious  beliefs  are  interfered  with,  and  all  that  is  exacted  from  each  member  is 
the  same  toleration  of  the  views  of  others  which  he  desires  them  to  exhibit  toward  his  own.  The 
Society,  as  a  body,  eschews  politics  and  all  subjects  outside  its  declared  sphere  of  work,  the  rules 
stringently  forbidding  members  to  compromise  its  strict  neutrality  in  these  matters. 

As  a  condition  precedent  to  membership,  belief  in  and  adherence  to  the  first  of  the  above-named 
objects  is  required ;  as  to  the  other  two,  members  may  pursue  them  or  not  as  they  see  fit  The  act  of 
joining  the  Society,  therefore,  carries  with  it  no  obligation  whatever  to  profess  belief  in  either  the  prac- 
ticability of  presently  realizing  the  brotherhood  of  mankind,  or  in  the  superior  value  of  Aryan  over 
modern  science,or  the  existence  of  occult  powers  latent  in  man.  It  implies  ooly  intellectual  sympathy 
in  the  attempt  to  disseminate  tolerant  and  brotherly  feelings,  to  discover  as  much  truth  as  can  be  un- 
covered by  diligent  study  and  careful  experimentation,  and  to  essay  the  formation  of  a  nucleus  of  a 
univsrsal  brotherhood. 


iarjristian  <Scienct* 


The  following  Information  about  this  faith  and  its  followers  was  prepared  for  The  WoBiiD 
Almanac  by  M.  John  Higley,  C.S.,  Austin,  111.  : 

The  number  of  Christian  Scientists  in  the  "United  States  runs  well  into  the  hundreds  of  thousands. 
It  Is  estimated  that  a  million  hopeless  cases  have  been  healed  through  Christian  Science.  There  «>  re 
123  organized  churches,  131  places  wliere  regular  Sunday  services  are  held,  but  without  a  church 
organization,  and  66  dispensaries  for  the  healing  of  patients  and  the  free  distribution  of  Christian 
Science  literature. 

Rev.  Mary  Baker  Eddv,  the  discoverer  and  founder  of  Christian  Science,  has  taught  4,000 
Btudents  at  her  Massachusetts  Metaphysical  Collesre,  in  Boston,  Mass.  Her  instruction  to  her  normal 
graduates  is  10  form  their  own  associations,  churches,  and  dispensaries,  as  she  has  done  before  them. 
The  associations  thus  formed  are  ca.led  Students'  Christian  Scientists'  Associations,  each  is  numbered, 
and  each  is  composed  of  tbe  students  taught  by  the  normal  teacher  under  whom  it  is  formed.  These 
associations  are  tributarj'  to  the  National  Christian  Scientist  Association,  E.  J.  Foster  Eudy,  M.D., 
C.S.D.,  President,  and  William  H.  Johnson,  C.S.B.,  Secretary,  both  of  Boston,  Mass, 

The  last  meeting  of  the  National  Association  was  the  Congress  of  Religions,  in  October,  1893,  at 
Chicago,  and  it  was  adjourned  subject  to  the  call  of  the  leader.  Rev.  Mary  Baker  Eddy.  Tbe  Boston 
church,  which  was  organized  oy  Mrs.  Eddy,  is  the  mother  church,  and  all  Christian  Scientists  are 
privileged  to  unite  with  it.  They  have  completed  a  beautiful  church  edifice  in  the  Back  Bay  between 
commonwealth  and  Huntington  Avenues,  Boston,  Mass.,  at  a  cost  of  $2'-:l,000,  exclusive  or  the  land, 
\a)ued  at  $40,000,  which  was  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Eddy.  The  auditorium  will  accommodate  1,500  people. 
This  is  known  as  "The  First  Church  of  Christ,  Scientist."  All  churches  formed  th-oughout  the 
world  are  tributary  to  the  mother  church.  The  Christian  Science  Journal^  published  at  Boston,  is  the 
official  organ  of  Christian  Science. 


Kational  fJ^nmant  Alliance. 


The  National  Humane  Alliance  of  New  York  was  incorporated  in  January,  1897,  with  Bastus 
S.  Ransom,  Hermon  L.  Ensign,  Abram  R  King,  George  H.  Story,  Harrison  Grey  Fiske,  and 
Lewis  M.  Seaver  as  the  first  Board  of  Directors.  The  offices  of  the  Humane  Alliance  are  at  114 
Nassau  Street,  New  York,  and  Mr.  Ensign  is  the  President  and  Manager.  The  following  is  a 
statement  of  the  purpof=es  of  the  organization : 

While  the  Alliance  is  not  exactly  a  charity,  it  is  founded  on  humanitarian  ideas.  It  desires  to 
educate  people,  particularly  the  rising  generation,  to  be  kind  and  gentle  among  themselves  and  to 
treat  all  dumb  animals  humanely.  The  plan  is  different  from  that  of  any  other  organization.  The 
Boclety  leaves  the  enforcement  of  law  to  others.     Its  work  is  humane  education.    The  idea  is  that  you 

eakeoetter  citizens  as  you  eliminate  cruelty  and  brutality  from  the  mind  and  Instill  gentleness  and 
ndness.  If  a  man  or  boy  is  educated  on  this  line,  so  that  he  feels  a  pleasure  in  being  considerate  of 
animals  as  well  as  of  his  fellow- beings,  he  cannot  Be  other  than  a  good  citizen.  These  are  the  argu» 
xuent  and  the  theory  in  a  nutshell.  The  National  Humane  Alliance  publishes  and  circulates  pam* 
phlets  as  well  as  a  newspaper,  and  has  branches  in  other  cities  and  States.

The  following  statement  of  the  purposes  of  the  society  was  prepared  for  The  World  Almanac  by 
the  President,  Frances  E.  Willard: 

The  National  W.  C  T.  U.  was  organized  in  Cleveland,  Ohio,  in  1874,  and  is  the  sober  second  thought 
of  the  great  woman' s  crusade.  It  is  now  regularly  organized  in  the  forty- five  States  of  the  Union,  and 
in  every  Territory.  Its  headquarters  are  in  Chicago,  III. ,  where  it  has  a  Woman's  Temperance  Pub- 
lishing House  that  sends  out  over  118,000,000  pages  annually,  and  has  seven  editors  and  110 
employes.  This  publishing  house  is  a  stock  company,  and  all  its  directors  and  stockholders  are 
women,  as  is  its  business  manager. 

The  Woman's  National  Temperance  Hospital  demonstrates  the  value  of  non-alcoholic  medica- 
tion. The  Woman's  Temperance  Temple,  costing overifil, 000, 000, has  been  built  in  Chicago.  The 
National  Society  handled  over  $40,000  in  1896-97  at  its  headquarters  in  Chicago,  and  Its  local 
auxiliaries  expended  not  less  than  half  a  million  dollars  in  their  work. 

There  are  about  10,000  local  unions,  with  a  membership  and  following,  including  the  children's 
societies,  of  about  half  a  million.  The  W.  C.  T.  U.  has  forty- four  distinct  departments  of  work,preside'd 
over  by  as  many  women  experts,  in  the  National  Society,  and  in  nearly  every  State.  All  the  States  in 
the  Kepublic  except  two  have  laws  requiring  the  study  of  scientific  temperance  in  the  public  schools, 
and  all  these  laws  were  secured  by  the  W.  C.  T.  U. ,  also  the  laws  forbidding  the  sale  of  tobacco  to 
miuoi-s.  Most  industrial  homes  for  girls  were  secured  through  the  efforts  of  this  society,  as  were  the 
refuges  for  erring  women.  Laws  raising  the  age  of  consent  and  providing  for  better  protection  for 
women  and  girls  have  been  enacted  by  many  legislatures  through  the  influence  of  the  department 
for  the  promotion  of  social  purity,  of  which  the  president  of  the  society  has,  until  1896,  been  super- 
intendent. 

The  World's  W.  C.  T.  U.  was  founded  through  the  influence  of  the  National  Society  in  1883,  and 
already  has  auxiliaries  in  more  than  forty  countries  and  provinces.  The  white  ribbon  is  the  badge  of 
all  the  W.  C.  T.  U.  members,  and  is  now  a  familiar  emblem  in  every  civilized  country.  A  great  petition 
Is  being  circulated  in  all  parts  of  the  world  against  legalizing  the  sale  of  opium  and  alcoholics.  The 
petition  has  seven  and  a  half  million  names,  has  been  presented  to  the  governments  of  the  United 
States^  England,  and  Canada,  and  will  soon  be  preseutea  to  all  the  governments  of  the  world  by  a 
coinmission  of  women  appointed  for  that  purpose.

General  f-erretary,  Robert  Graham.  The  Society  was  organized  within  the  Protestant  Episcopal 
Church  in  1881.  Its  adult  membership  combines  those  who  temperately  use,  and  those  who  totally 
abstain  from,  intoxicating  liquors  as  beverages.  It  works  on  the  lines  of  moral  as  well  as  of  legal 
suasion,  and  its  practical  objects  are:  1.  Training  the  young  in  habits  of  temperance.  2.  Rescue  of 
the  drunkard.  3.  Restriction  of  the  saloon  by  legislation.  4.  Counteractive  agencies,  such  as  coffee- 
houses, workingmen's  clubs,  reading-rooms,  and  other  attractive  wholesome  resorts.  The  Church 
Temperance  Legion  (comprising  the  Knights  of  Temperance,  Young  Crusaders,  and  "Veteran  Knights) 
deals  with  boys,  seeking  to  induce  them  to  keep  sober,  pure,  and  reverent  from  the  earliest  years  of 
manhood,  audit  endeavors  to  perpetuate  those  nabits  in  men.  The  Legion  is  under  the  supervision

Yotttifl  people's  <Socirts  of  Christian  15ntreai3iir* 

The  following  statistics  and  statement  of  the  purposes  of  the  organization  were  prepared  for  The 
World  Almaxac  by  Mr.  John  Willis  Baer,  General  Secretary  of  the  United  Society  of  Christian 
Endeavor: 

Officers  of  the  Uniteb  Society  of  Cheistiaij  Endeavor, —OflBce,  No.  646  Washington 
Street,  Boston,  Mass.  Pi'esident,  Rev.  Francis  E.  Clark,  D.  D. ;  Treasurer,  Wm.  Shaw;  Oeneral 
Secretary,  John  Willis  Baer. 

The  first  Society  of  Christian  Endeavor  was  formed  February  2,  1881,  in  the  Williston  Church, 
Portland,  Me.,  by  Rev.  F.  E.  Clark,  pastor,  for  the  purpose  of  training  a  large  number  of  converts  for 
the  duties  of  church  membership. 

Each  society  is  in  some  local  church,  and  in  no  sense  outside.  It  exists  simply  to  make  the  young 
people  loyal  and  efficient  members  of  the  Church  of  Christ.  It  is  the  Church  training  the  young.  Its 
motio  is,  "  For  Christ  and  the  Church."  In  November,  1897,  there  were  52,000  societies,  with  a 
membei-ship  of  3,000,000,  chiefly  in  the  United  States  and  Canada,  and  in  Australia,  Great  Britain, 
China,  India,  Japan,  and  in  all  missionary  lands.  It  is  found  in  about  the  same  proportions  in  all 
the  great  evangelical  denominations  and  in  all  their  subdivisions.  Wherever  it  has  been  established 
longest  it  is  most  fully  indorsed  by  pastors  and  churches. 

Its  essential  features  are  the  prayer- meeting  pledge,  honestly  interpreted,  the  lookout,  prayer- 
meeting,  and  social  committees,  and  the  consecration  meeting.  Other  committees  are  optional,  and 
the  constitution  is  entirely  flexible  in  other  points  according  to  the  needs  of  the  local  church. 

The  United  Society  is  simply  the  bureau  of  information  for  all  the  societies.  It  prints  the  litera- 
ture, supports  one  general  secretary,  and  is  the  general  headquarters  of  the  work.  It  levies  no  taxes, 
however,  and  assumes  no  authority,  but  every  society  manages  its  own  affairs  in  its  own  way.  It  is 
supported  by  the  sales  ^f  its  literature,  badges^  etc.  It  is  mana^jed  by  aiboard  of  trustees,  representing 
the  great  evangelical  denominations,  the  President  being  Francis  E.  Clark.  D.  D. ,  the  founder  of  the

The  Order  of  The  King's  Daughters  and  Sons  is  a  religious  order  of  service,  composed  of  thousands 
of  small  circles  of  men,  women,  and  children  united  in  one  great  organization  that  numbers  now  over 
three  hundred  thousand  members.  It  is  an  inter-denominational  order,  and  its  members  may 
be  found  In  all  churches  and  in  almost  all  nations.  It  was  founded  by  ten  women  in  New  York  City, 
and  has  spread  over  every  State  in  the  Union,  and  has  its  representatives  in  Canada,  England, 
Ireland  Scotland,  France,  Italy,  Germany,  India.  China,  Japan,  Turkey  in  Europe  and  in  Asia 
Australia,  New  Zealand,  and  other  countries.  Its  members  are  bound  individually  and  collectively  to 
serve  the  needy  and  the  suffering,  to  consider  the  poor,  and  to  be  helpful  in  good  work.  Each  in- 
dividual circle  may  choose  its  own  field  of  labor,  but  cannot  escape  the  obligations  of  service. 

The  badge  is  a  small  cross  of  silver,  bearing  the  letters  I.  H.  N.  on  one  side  and  the  date  1886  on 
the'other,  often  worn  with  a  knot  of  purple  ribbon.  The  Order  is  an  incorporated  society,  of  which 
this  little  cross  is  the  seal.     Its  headquarters  are  at  No.  156  f^ilth  Avenue,  New  York  City. 

Its  original  circle  ot  ten  women,  to  which  have  beeu  made  some  additions,  forms  now  the  Central 
Council  or  Executive  Board  of  the  Order.  The  general  officers  are  members  of  this  Council.  The 
fii"st  meeting  of  the  original  circle  was  held  in  New  i'ork  City  on  Januarj- 13,  1886.  It  is  now  ten 
years  old,  and  it  ranks  among  the  strongest  and  most  useful  societies  of  the  world.  It  issues  a  weekly 
magazine  called  The  Silver  Ci-oss,  which  is  most  helpful  to  the  members  of  the  Order,  and  takes  a 
high  rank  among  the  religious  and  philanthropic  periodicals  of  the  country.

The  Order  of  the  Daughters  of  the  King  was  organized  on  Easter  Evening,  1885.  It  is  desired  by  its 
promoters  that  a  careful  distinction  shall  be  made  between  the  Daughters  of  the  King  and  the  King's 
Daughters.  This  is  the  older  society,  and  diflt'ers  from  the  King's  Daughters  in  many  important 
particulars.  In  the  first  place,  it  is  more  of  an  order  than  a  society,  and  is  distinctively  Episcopal.  Its 
work  is  definite,  and  is,  '^'  for  the  spread  of  Christ's  kingdom  among  young  women, ' '  and  the  '  active 
support  of  the  rector's  plans  in  the  parish  in  which  the  particular  chapter  may  be  located. ' '  Its  badge 
Is  a  cross  of  silver,  a  Greek  cross  fleury,  and  its  mottoes  are  "Magnanimeter  Crucem  Sustlue"  and 
"  For  His  Sake."  Its  colors  are  white  and  blue— white,  the  old  royal  color  of  Israel,  and  blue,  the 
color  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  the  ' '  blessed  daughter  of  Israel's  King,  the  Mother  of  the  King  of  Kings.  " 
Its  con.<5titution  is  framed,  as  far  as  is  possible,  in  the  terms  of  that  of  the  BrotherhodH  of  St.  Andrew, 
the  work  of  the  two  organizations  being  similar.  The  officers  of  the  Council  are:  P?•esicfe7i^  Mrs.  E. 
A.Bradley;  Vice-President,  Mrs.  E,  J.Warner;  Secretary,  Miss  Elizabeth  L.  IKyerson;  Treasurer,

The  following  was  prepared  for  The  World  Almanac  by  Mr.  John  W.  Wood, General  Secretary: 

The  Brotherhood  of  St.  Andrew  is  an  organization  of  men  in  the  Protestant  Episcopal  Church,  Its 
sole  object  Is  the  spread  of  Christ's  kingdom  amon^  men.  It  works  under  two  rules,  known  as  (1)  The 
Kuleof  Prayer:  To  pray  daily  for  the  spread  of  Christ's  kingdom  among  men,  and  that  Christ's  blessing 
may  be  upon  the  labors  of  the  Brotherhood,  and  (2)  The  Rule  of  Service:  To  make  an  earnest  effort 
each  week  to  bring  at  least  one  man  within  the  hearing  of  the  Gospel  oi  Jesus  Christ. 

The  Brotherhood  started  in  St.  James'  Church,  Chicago,  on  St.  Andrew's  Day,  1883.  It  takes  its 
name  from  the  Apostle  who,  when  he  had  found  the  Messiah,  first  found  his  own  brother  Simon  and 
brought  him  to  Jesus.  This  Brotherhood  in  St.  James'  pari.sh  was  started  simply  as  a  parochial  organ- 
ization, with  no  thought  of  its  extending  beyond  the  limits  oi  the  parish.  Its  work,  however,  was  so 
successful  in  bringing  men  to  church  that  attention  was  called  to  it,  and  other  Brotherhoods,  having 
the  same  objects  and  the  same  rules,  were  formed  in  other  parishes  in  Chicago  and  in  different  parts 
of  the  countrj'.  In  1886  there  were  about  thirty- five  of  these  separate  Brotherhoods.  It  then  was 
proposed  to  form  them  into  one  general  Church  organization.  This  was  done  in  1886.  Since  that  time 
the  Brotherhood  has  gone  on  growing,  and  at  present  has  .spread  to  all  parts  of  the  United  States.  There 
are  now  twelve  hundred  and  twenty  active  chapters,  with  a  membership  of  about  thirteen  thousand  men. 
The  Brotherhood  idea  has  also  taken  root  in  Canada,  and  the  Brotherhood  of  St,  Andrew  in  the  Church 
of  England  in  the  Dominion  of  Canada  has  been  formed,  with  one  hundred  and  eighty  chapters 
and  two  thousand  men.  A  similar  organization  has  been  formed  in  the  Scottish  Episcopal  Church. 
Forty  chapters  have  also  been  formed  in  Australia,  and  have  been  organized  Into  a  Brotherhood  of 
St.  Andrew  in  the  Church  of  England  in  Australia.  June  12,  1896,  the  Brotherhood  of  St.  Andrew  In 
the  Church  of  England  was  formed. 

The  officers  for  1897-98  are:  President,  James  L.Houghteling, 164  Dearborn  Street, Chicago;  Oeneral 
Secretary,  John  W.  Wood,  281  Fourth  Avenue,  New  York:  Treasurer.  John  P.  Faure,  281  Fourth 
Avenue,  New  York;  lUdUoT  of  St.  Andreiv' s  Cross,  John  W.  Wood,  281  Fourth  Avenue.  The  General 
Secretary  will  furnish  Information  and  documents  to  any  one  who  may  he  Interested  in  the  work.

308  N'ational  Anti-JSpiritualist  Association. 

THEprincipalpurposesof  this  organization  are:  (1)  To  urge  upon  men  the  obligation  of  personal 
purity }  (2)  to  raise  the  tone  of  public  opinion  upon  the  subject  ol*  morality;  (3)  to  secure  proper  legis- 
lation m  connection  with  morality.    One  law  only  for  men  and  women. 

The  White  Cross  movement  was  begun  publicly  February  14,  1883,  at  Bishop- Auckland.  Eng- 
land, by  the  Bishop  of  Durham.  The  work  was  taken  up  in  this  country  by  the  Kev.  B.  F.  De  Ctosta, 
D.D.,  Rector  of  the  Church  of  St.  John  the  Evangelist,  New  York  City,  aided  by  his  young  men, 
during  the  Winter  of  1883-84.     It  has  now  spread  throughout  the  United  States  and  Canada. 

The  methods  of  the  White  Cross  are  of  a  varied  character.  First,  it  seeks  to  promote  the  objects 
"By  the  full  presentation  of  those  spiritual  truths  which  form  distinguishing  characteristics  of 
Christianity,  and  demonstrate  its  unalterable  hostility  to  every  form  of  impurity. '  *  The  methods  do 
not  favor  so  much  the  creation  of  new  machinery  as  utilizing  that  already  existing.  The  platform 
of  the  White  Cross  is  as  follows: 

' '  The  member  promises  by  the  '  help  of  God '  (1)  to  treat  all  women  with  respect,  and  endeavor 
to  protect  them  from  wrong  and  degradation ;  (2)  to  endeavor  to  put  down  all  indecent  language  and 
coarse  jests;  (3)  to  maintain  the  law  of  purity  as  equally  binding  upon  men  and  women;  (4)  to  endeavor 
to  spread  these  principles  among  my  companions,  and  to  try  and  help  my  younger  brothers;  (6)  to  use 
every  possible  means  to  fulfil  the  command,  '  Keep  thyself  pure. '  "

present  name  was  adopted  in  1878.  At  first  treated  with  a  good  deal  of  derision  and  occasionally  with 
violence  from  the  classes  among  which  it  worked,  its  earnestness  and  remarkable  achievements  have 
gradually  won  the  respect  and  encouragement  of  many  of  the  most  prominent  divines  and  laymen  of 
the  evangelical  denominations. 

At  the  present  time  there  are  12,050  officers,  composed  of  men  and  women  whose  lives  are  entirely

K'^t  VoluntttvH  of  America* 


The  commander* in-chief  is  Ballington  Booth.  The  headquarters  are  at  the  comer  of  Union 
Square  and  East  Sixteenth  Street,  New  York  City.  The  following  statement  has  been  prepared  for 
The  World  Almanac  in  the  office  of  the  commander-in-chief: 

The  Volunteers  of  America  is  a  religious  organization,  inaugurated  in  March,  1896,  by  Commander 
and  Mrs.  Ballington  Booth  in  response  to  numerous  requests  on  the  part  of  American  citizens.  It  is 
organized  in  true  military  style, having  as  its  model  the  United  States  Army,  but  in  conjunction  with 
military  discipline  and  methods  of  work  it  possesses  a  thoroughly  democratic  form  of  government, 
having  as  its  ideal  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States  of  America.  Its  adherence  to  American 
principles  has  been  further  signalized  by  the  movement  having  been  incorporated.  The  object  of  the 
Volunteers  is  to  reach  with  the  Gospel  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ  the  millions  of  this  and  other  countries 
which  hitherto  have  been  unreached  by  any  existing  religious  organization.  The  fact  is  recognized 
that  these  untouched  masses  pervade  every  section  of  society,  and  while  those  of  the  lowliest  walks  of 
life— the  poor,  the  vicious,  the  criminal,  the  drunkard,  and  others— will  always  be  the  objects  of  the 
tenderest  solicitude  of  Volunteers,  the  teeming  thousands  of  the  middle  class  and  the  sinful  and  God- 
less in  even  aristocratic  circles  will  also  be  confronted  with  the  eternal  truths  of  Divine  revelation  and 
the  glorious  Gospel  of  full  salvation. 

When  it  is  remembered  that  this  organization  has  not  had  the  advantage  of  time  in  which  to 
augment  its  forces  and  attain  its  present  dimensions— being  only  inaugurated  on  March  9,  1896— not 
yet  (December  1,  1897)  two  years  old ;  that  its  growth  has  been  during  the  heat  of  Summer  and 
m  the  midst  of  political  and  financial  agitation,  its  friends  think  they  may  lay  claim  to  a  rise  and 
progress  phenomenal  in  Christian  history  in  this  country.  There  are  at  the  present  time  eight  regi- 
ments of  sixteen  battalions ;  150  staff  officers  in  positions  of  responsibility.  The  weekly  paper  contains 
sixteen  pages  and  has  a  paid  circulation  of  over  20,000  copies,  and  a  monthly  paper  of  over  10. 000 
copies.  The  Volunteers  are  established  in  some  150  cities  and  towns,  with  170  officered  organized 
posts,  and  have  already  over  600  commanding  officers. 

The  Defenders'  League  comprises  2, 500  Defenders  subscribing  $5  each.  The  practical  govern- 
ment of  the  concern  is  in  the  hands  of  the  following  councils:  The  National  Executive  Council, 
dealing  with  questions  affecting  finances,  i)roperty,  etc. ,  and  meeting  at  the  centre  once  or  twice 
weekly;  the  tSrand  Field  Council,  which  will  decide  questions  concerning  appointments,  promo- 
tions, etc.,  relating  to  the  field;  the  Supreme  or  Military  Council,  which  is  composed  of  the  members 
of  the  two  aforementioned  councils,  meeting  at  least  once  a  year.  All  property,  real  estate  and  per- 
sonal, of  the  Volunteer  movement  will  be  held  by  a  board  of  trusteesof  from  five  to  seven  well-known 
and  responsible  American  citizens. 

The  Volunteers  will  seek  to  co-operate  with  all  the  existing  Evangelical  Churches  and  religious 
organizations.  To  this  end  the  commander-in-chief  wa^  ordained  a  "Presbyter  of  the  Church  of 
God  in  General."  The  Sacrament  of  the  Holy  Communion  will  be  administered  in  the  Volunteers' 
meetings  by  the  commander-in-chief  and  properly  qualified  and  ordained  staff  officers  at  least  once  a 
month.  The  Sacrament  of  Baptism  is  also  recognized,  but  its  observance  is  left  perfectly  optional  to 
every  individual  Volunteer.  


Boot  of  ^opt. 


The  Doob  of  Hope,  for  fallen  girls,  was  founded  in  New  York  City  by  Mrs.  E.  M.  Whittemore, 
October  25,  1890.  It  is  located  at  102  East  Sixty-first  Street,  and  has  a  branch  at  Tappan,  N.  Y.  Both 
homes  are  free  of  debt.  A  Door  of  Hope  Union  has  grown  out  of  those  beginnings,  and  there  are  now 
twenty- three  distinct  Door  of  Hope  homes  in  different  States.  This  is  strictly  a  faith  work,  and  since  its 
inception  nearly  $50, 000  has  been  received,  says  the  founder,  ' '  through  answer  to  prayer  alone  for  its 
support."  During  the  past  four  years  over  $7,000  has  been  contributed  from  the  proceeds  of  the 
work  of  inmates  and  Mrs.  Whittemore's  writings  to  the  Foreign  Work  under  what  is  known  as  the 
'  'Delia  Memorial  Foreign  Missionary  Branch  of  Door  of  Hope  Union."  The  annual  board  meetiue  is 
held  October  25.

The  Society  of  Colonial  Wars  was  instituted  in  1892  to  "perpetuate  the  memory  of  these  events 
and  of  the  men  who,  in  military,  naval,  and  civil  positions  of  high  trust  and  responsibility,  by  their  acts 
or  counsel  assisted  in  the  establishment,  defence,  and  preservation  of  the  American  Colonies,  and  were 
in  truth  the  founders  of  this  nation  With  this  end  in  view  it  seeks  to  collect  and  preserve  manuscripts, 
rolls,  and  records;  to  provide  suitable  commemorations  or  memorials  relating  to  the  American  Colonial 
period,  and  to  inspire  in  its  members  the  paternal  and  patriotic  spirit  of  their  forefathers,  and  in  the 
community  respect  and  reverence  for  those  whose  public  services  made  our  freedom  and  unity  possi- 
ble. "  Eligibility  is  confined  to  an  adult  male  descendant  of  an  ancestor  who  fought  in  battle  under 
Colonial  authority,  from  the  settlement  of  Jamestown,  Va,,  in  1607,  to  the  battle  of  Lexington,  in 
1775,  or  who  served  as  Governor,  Deputy-Governor,  Lieutonant-Governor,  Member  of  the  Council,  or 
as  a  military,  naval,  or  marine  officer  in  the  service  of  the  Colonies,  or  under  the  banner  of  Great  Britain, 
or  was  conspicuous  in  military,  official,  or  legislative  life  during  that  period.  The  New  York  Society 
was  the  original  society.

the  object  stated  in  the  articles  of  incorporation  being  "to  bring  together  and  associate  congenial  men

tained the  Colonies  in  the  struggle  for  independence  in  the  Revolutionary  War;  to  teach  reverent 
regard  for  the  names  and  history,  character  and  perseverance,  deeds  and  heroism,  of  the  founders  of 
this  country  and  their  patriot  descendants;  to  teach  that  the  purpose  of  the  founders  could  have  had  no

records,  documents,  manuscripts,  monuments,  and  history  relating  to  the  first  colonists  and  their 
ancestors  and  their  descendants,  and  to  commemorate  and  celebrate  events  In  the  history  of  the 
Colonies  and  the  Republic." 

The  original  society  of  the  Order  is  the  New  York  society,  and  other  State  societies  have  been 
formed  in  Connecticut  and  New  Jersey.

This  organization  was  formed  in  1789,  being  the  effect  of  a  popular  movement  In  New  York.having 
primarily  in  view  a  counterweight  to  the  so-called  "aristocratic"  Society  of  the  Cincinnati.  It  was 
essentially  anti- Federalist  or  Democratic  in  its  character,  and  its  chief  founder  was  William  Mooney, 
an  upholsterer  and  a  native-born  American  of  Irish  extraction.  It  took  its  first  title  from  a  noted 
ancient  wise  and  friendly  chief  of  the  Delaware  tribe  of  Indians,  named  Tammany,  who  had,  for  the  want 
of  abetter  subject,  been  canonized  by  the  soldiers  of  the  Revolution  as  the  American  patron  saint. 
The  first  meeting  was  held  May  12,  1789.  The  act  of  incorporation  was  passed  in  1805,  The  Grand 
Sachem  and  thirteen  Sachems  were  designed  to  typify  the  President  and  the  Governors  of  the  thirteen 
original  States.  William  Mooney  was  the  first  Grand  Sachem.  TheSociety  is  nominally  a  charitable 
and  social  organization,  and  is  distinct  from  the  general  committee  of  the  Tammany  Democracy, 
which  Is  a  political  organization  and  cannot  use  Tammany  Hall  without  the  consent  of  the  Society.

notification. 


The  Board  of  Managers  of  the  National  Home  for  Disabled  Volunteer  Soldiers  informs  the  disabled 
soldiers  and  sailors  of  the  United  States  that  Homes  have  been  established,  at  the  places  above  named, 
for  all  such  as  are  unable  to  earn  a  living  by  labor.  All  the  ordinary  comforts  of  a  home  are  provided- 
chapels  for  religious  services;  halls  for  concerts,  lectures,  etc.  ;  hospitals, with  experienced  surgeons 
and  nurses;  libraries  and  reading  rooms;  amusement  halls;  post  and  telegraph  offices;  stores,  etc. 
Good  behavior  insures  kind  treatment. 

Soldiers  and  sailors  are  especially  informed  that  the  Home  is  neither  a  hospital  nor  an  almshouse, 
but  a  home,where  subsistence,  quarters,  clothing,  religious  instruction,  employment  when  possible,  and 
amusements  are  provided  by  the  Government  of  the  United  States.  The  provision  is  not  a  charity,  but 
is  a  reward  to  the  brave  and  deserving,  and  is  their  right,  to  be  forfeited  only  by  bad  conduct  at  the 
Home  or  conviction  of  heinous  crimes.  A  soldier  or  sailor  desiring  admission  may  apply  by  letter  to 
either  of  the  managers,  whereupon  a  blank  application  will  be  sent  to  him,  or  he  can  apply  personally 
or  by  letter  at  the  branch  nearest  to  his  place  of  residence. 

requirements  for  admission.  , 

1.  An  honorable  discharge  from  the  United  States  service. 

2.  Disability  which  prevents  the  applicant  from  earning  his  living  by  labor. 

3.  Applicants  for  admission  will  be  required  to  stipulate  and  agree  to  abide  by  all  the  rule^and 
regulations  made  by  the  Board  of  Managers,  or  by  its  order;  to  perform  all  duties  required  of  them, 
and  to  obey  all  the  lawful  orders  of  the  officers  of  the  Home.  Attention  is  called  to  the  fact,  that  by 
the  law  establishing  the  Home  the  members  are  made  subject  to  the  Rules  and  Articles  of  War,  and 
will  be  governed  thereby  in  the  same  manner  as  if  they  were  in  the  Army  of  the  United  States. 

4.  A  soldier  or  sailor  must  forward  with  his  application  for  admission  his  Discharge  Paper,  and 
when  he  is  a  pensioner,  his  Pension  Certificate,  and  if  he  has  been  a  member  of  a  State  Home,  his 
discharge  from  that  Home,  before  his  application  will  be  considered ;  which  papers  will  be  retained  at 
the  branch  to  which  the  applicant  is  admitted,  to  be  kept  there  for  him,  and  returned  to  him  when  he 
is  discharged.  This  rule  is  adopted  to  prevent  the  loss  of  such  papers  and  certificates,  and  to  hinder 
fraudulent  practices;  and  no  application  will  be  considered  unless  these  papers  are  sent  with  it.  If  the 
original  discharge  does  not  exist,  a  copy  of  discharge,  certified  hy  the  W  ar  or  Navy  Department,  or  by 
the  Adjutant-General  of  the  State,  must  accompanj'  the  application. 

Soldiers  or  sailors  whose  pensions  exceed  $16  a  month  are  not  eligible  to  the  Home  unless  the 
reasons  are  peculiar,  and  are  explained  to  the  manager  and  are  satisfactory  to  him.  Those  who  have 
been  members  of  State  Homes  must  have  been  discharged  from  those  Homes  at  least  six  months 
before  they  can  be  admitted  to  a  branch  of  the  National  Home,  except  by  a  vote  of  the  Board  of 
Managers.    Applicants  are  requested  to  conform  strictly  to  the  above  requlrementa.

The  historic  and  patriotic  Order  of  the  Cincinnati  was  founded  by  the 
American  and  French  officers  at  the  cantonments  of  the  Continental  army  on 
the  Hudson  at  the  close  of  hostilities  in  the  War  of  the  Revolution  for  American 
Independence  in  May,  1783. 

In  forming  the  society  it  was  declared  that,  "To  perpetuate,  therefore,  as 
well  the  remembrance  oi  this  vast  event  as  the  mutual  friendships  which  have 
been  formed  under  the  pressure  of  common  danger,  and,  in  many  instances, 
cemented  bj'  the  blood  of  the  parties,  the  officers  of  the  American  army  do 
hereby,  in  the  most  solemn  manner,  associate,  constitute,  and  combine  them- 
selves into  one  Society  of  Friends,  to  endure  as  long  as  they  shall  endure,  or  any 
of  their  eldest  male  posterity,  anci  in  failure  thereof  the  collateral  branches 
who  may  be  judged  worthy  ot  becoming  its  supporters  and  members. " 
For  convenience,  thirteen  State  societies  were  formed,   and  one  in.  France,   under  the  direct 
patronage  of  Louis  XVI.    Upon  the  roll  of  original  members  appeared  the  names  of  all  the  great 
historic  military  and  naval  characters  of  the  Revolution,  and  upon  the  roll  of  honorary  members, 
elected  for  their  own  lives  only,  appeared  many  of  the  signers  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence. 

THE  EIGHT  TO  MEMBERSHIP. 

All  Contmentai  officers  who  had  served  with  honor  and  resigned  after  three  years'  service  as 
officers,  or  who  had  been  rendered  supernumerary  and  honorably  discharged,  in  one  of  the  several 
reductions  of  the  American  army,  or  who  had  continued  to  the  end  of  the  war,  and  all  French  officers 
who  had  served  in  the  cooperating  army  under  Count  d'  Estaing,  or  auxiliary  army  under  Count  de 
Rochambeau,  and  held  or  attained  the  rank  of  colonel  for  such  services,  or  who  had  commanded  a 
French  fleet  or  ship  of  war  on  the  American  coast,  were  entitled  to  become  original  members,  and 
upon  doing  so  were  required  to  contribute  a  month's  pay. 

STATE  SOCIETIES. 

Several  State  societies  became  dormant  because  the  members  had  to  emigrate  to  the  lands  given 
them  for  their  services,  west  of  the  Alleghenies,  and  with  broken  health  and  ruined  fortunes  begin  life 
anew  in  failure  of  Congress  to  keep  its  promises  as  to  half  pay. 

There  now  remain  eight  State  societies— viz. ,  those  or  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island,  Connecticut 
(revived  1893),  New  York,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Maryland,  and  South  Carolina,  and  the  one 
In  France,  which  was  dispersed  at  the  Reign  of  Terror  in  17b3,  is  now  being  re-established  under  the 
acting  presidency  of  M.  le  Marquis  de  Rochambeau. 

Membership  descends  to  the  eldest  lineal  male  descendant,  if  judged  worthy,  and.  In  failure  of 
direct  male  descent,  to  male  descendants  through  intervening  female  descendants. 

The  general  society  is  composed  ot  the  general  officers  and  five  delegates  from  each  State  society, 
and  meets  triennially.  In  1854  it  ruled  that  proper  descendants  of  Revolutionary  officers  who  were 
entitled  to  original  membership,  but  who  never  could  avail  themselves  of  it,are  qualified  for  hereditary 
membership,  if  found  worthy,  on  due  application.

The  society  of  the  ••'  Sonsof  the  Revolution  ' '  was  originated  in  New  York  in  1875  by  John  Austin 
Stevens,  in  conjunction  with  other  patriotic  gentlemen  of  Revolutionary  ancestry.  The  New  York 
society  was  instituted  February  22,  1876;  reorganized  December  3,  1883,  and  incorporated  May  3, 
1884,  to  "keep  alive  among  ourselves  and  our  descendants  the  patriotic  spirit  of  the  men  who,  in 
military,  naval,  or  civil  service,  by  their  acts  or  counsel,  achieved  American  independence;  to  collect 
and  secure  for  preservation  the  manuscript  rolls,  records,  and  other  documents  relating  to  the  War  of 
the  Revolution,  and  to  promote  intercourse  and  good  feeling  among  its  members  now  and  hereafter. ' ' 
Eligibly  to  membership  is  confined  to  male  descendants,  above  the  age  of  twenty-one  years,  from  an 
ancestor  who  as  either  a  military,  naval,  or  marine  officer,  soldier,  sailor,  or  marine,  or  official  in  the 
service  of  any  one  of  the  thirteen  original  colonies  or  States,  or  of  the  National  Government,  represent- 
ing or  composed  of  those  colonies  or  States,  assisted  in  establishing  American  independence  during  the 
War  of  the  Revolution  between  the  19th  day  of  April,  1775,  when  hostilities  commenced,  and  the  19th 
day  of  April,  1783,  when  they  were  ordered  to  cease.  The  last  triennial  meeting  of  the  general 
society  was  held  at  Savannah,  Ga. ,  beginning  April  19,  1896. 

The  officers  of  the  New  York  Society  Sous  of  the  Revolution  are  as  follows  :  President— 
Frederick  Samuel  Tallmadge.  Vice-President— John  Hone.  Secretary— A.  R.  Thompson,  146  Broad-

The  general  society  of  the  "Sons  of  the  Revolution"  was  organized  by  delegates  from  the  then 
existing  State  societies  in  1890.  Communications  on  the  matter  of  the  organization  of  societies  in 
other  States  by  proper  descendants  of  men  of  the  Revolution  can  be  addressed  to  John  Hone^

The  National  Society  of  '  'Sons  of  the  American  Revolution' '  was  organized  in  New  York  April  30, 
1889.  and  chartered  in  Connecticut  in  1890.  Its  purposes  are  the  same  as  those  of  the  older  organization, 
the  ''Sons  of  the  Revolution."  State  societies  exist  in  the  following  States  and  the  District  of  Colum- 
bia. A  California  society  of  descendants  of  Revolutionary  patriots,  entitled  "Sons  of  Revolutionary 
Sires, ' '  organized  July  4,  1875,  having  reorganized  and  changed  its  name  in  1889,  has  been  admitted 
to  membership.  A  formal  movement  by  this  society  and  the  '  'Sons  of  the  Revolution' '  toward  a  union 
was  attempted  in  1892,  but  was  not  successful.  A  renewed  effort  to  effect  consolidation  was  made  by 
the  respective  general  societies  in  1896.  The  results  are  stated  below  in  the  paragraph  entitled : 
' '  Society  of  the  American  Revolution. ' '  The  following  is  a  list  of  the  State  societies  organized,  their 
membership,  presidents,  and  secretaries,  as  reported  in  the  National  Year  Book  of  the  society  for  1897:

Otitis  of  tf)e  American  JXtiyolntion. 

Efforts,  continued  for  several  years,  to  brinir  into  union  as  one  body  the  societies  of  Sons  of  the 
Revolution  and  Sons  of  the  American  Revolution,  culminated  in  October,  1897,  in  the  presentation, 
by  a  joint  committee  of  the  two  organizations,  of  a  plan  of  uniting,  by  the  creation  of  a  new  associa- 
tion to  be  known  as  the  '  'Society  of  the  American  Revolution. ' ' 

The  latest  and  present  movement  for  a  union  began  at  a  special  meeting  of  the  General  Society  of 
Sons  of  the  Revolution,  held  at  Philadelphia  April  19,  1897,  when,  by  a  vote  of  State  societies,  16  to 
14,  a  special  committee  was  appointed  to  meet  a  similar  committee  to  be  appointed  by  the  National 
Society  of  Sons  of  the  American  Revolution  to  formulate  a  basis  of  union  and  report  at  a  meeting  of 
the  two  general  societies  to  be  held  at  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  October  12,  1897.  At  the  meeting  of  the 
National  Society  of  Sons  of  the  American  Revolution  held  at  Cleveland,  Ohio,  April  30,  1897,  a  res- 
olution favoring  a  conference  was  unanimously  adopted  and  a  committee  was  apjjomted. 

The  two  general  societies  met  at  Cincinnati  on  the  day  designated,  the  committees  of  each  having 
in  conference  in  the  meantime  adopted  a  plan  to  establish  a  new  society  to  be  called,  as  above  stated, 
the  '  'Society  of  the  American  Revolution, ' '  to  which  the  membership  of  the  two  present  organiza- 
tions shall  be  eligible,  the  plan  to  go  into  effect  when  ratified  by  a  majority  of  the  State  societies  of 
each  organization.  This  plan,  reported  to  each  general  society,  was  unanimously  accepted  by  that  of 
the  Sons  of  the  American  Revolution  and  accepted  by  a  majority  of  that  of  the  Sons  of  the  Revolu- 
tion, each  State  represented  in  the  latter  voting  as  a  unit. 

The  ratification  of  the  action  of  the  two  general  societies  having  thus  been  referred  back  to  the 
individual  societies  of  each,  the  result  stood,  at  the  time  this  edition  of  The  Almanac  went  to 
press,  as  follows:  All  of  the  State  societies  of  Sons  of  the  American  Revolution,  which  had  then 
taken  action,  had  ratified  the  plan.  Of  the  State  societies  of  Sons  of  the  Revolution,  that  of  the 
District  of  Columbia  had  ratified  it,  and  those  of  New  York,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Maryland, 
and  North  Carolina  had  rejected  it.    The  final  result,  therefore,  was  undeiermined  at  that  time.

The  Regular  Army  and  Navy  Union  was  organized  at  Cincinnati  and  incorporated  under  the  laws  of 
Ohio  in  March,  1888.  The  national  organization  (called  the  National  Corps)  was  organized  in  August, 
1890.  The  Union  admits  to  its  ranks  men  now  in  the  service  who  have  served  one  or  more  terms  and 
hold  honorable  discharges,  also  those  now  in  civil  life  who  have  served  in  the  Army,  Navy,  and 
Marine  Corps  of  the  United  States  and  who  have  been  honorably  discharged  therefrom,  whether  said 
service  was  before,  during,  or  since  the  war.  The  branches  of  the  order  are  called  garrisons,  and  are 
located  chiefly  at  military  posts,  on  board  many  of  the  modern  ships  of  war,  at  naval  barracks, 
and  in  many  of  the  cities  of  the  United  States.  OflBcers  who  have  ser\'ed  five  years  or  more  are  also 
eligible  to  membership.    There  are  at  present  160  garrisons,  with  an  estimated  membership  oi  10,000.

The  Union  Veteran  Legion  was  organized  at  Pittsburgh,  Pa. ,  March,  1884,  and  the  National  organi- 
zation was  perfected  November  17,  1886.  Encampments  are  now  organized  in  21  States  and  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia,  numbering  149  encampments.  The  membersliip  is  over  20,000.  To  become  a 
member,  the  applicant  must  have  been  an  officer,  soldier,  sailor,  or  marine  of  the  Union  army,  navy, 
or  marine  corps  during  the  late  Civil  War,  who  volunteered  prior  to  July  1,  1863,  for  a  term  of  three 
years,  and  was  honorably  discharged  for  any  cause,  after  a  service  of  at  least  two  continuous  years;  or 
was,  at  any  time,  discharged  by  reason  of  wounds  received  in  the  line  of  duty;  also  those  who  volun- 
teered for  a  term  of  two  years  prior  to  July  22,  1861,  and  served  their  full  term  of  enlistment.,  unless  dis- 
charged for  wounds  received  in  the  line  of  duty;  but  no  drafted  person,  nor  substitute,  nor  an  j'  one  who 
has  at  any  time  borne  arms  against  the  United  States  is  eligible.  A  statement  by  the  Adjutant- General 
of  the  Legion  says:  "•  It  is  believed  that  those  who  entered  the  service  prior  to  July,  1863,  had  but  one 
object  in  view,  and  that  was  the  preservation  of  the  Union.  There  were-no  bounties  prior  to  that  date, 
nor  were  there  any  fears  of  a  draft ;  consequentl j%  those  who  shouldered  a  musket  or  wielded  a  sabre 
felt  that  it  was  a  sacred  duty  to  offer  their  lives  in  defence  of  their  country's  honor. ' '

The  Volunteer  Life-Saving  Corps  of  the  State  of  New  York  was  incorporated  in  1890,  but  was 
sustained  only  in  New  York  Harbor  and  Brooklyn  waters  by  private  subscription  until,  by  State  aid 
in  1894  and  1895,  it  was  extended  largely  over  the  State  waters.  For  two  years  ha  depended  en- 
tirely upon  the  liberality  of  its  Board  of  Trustees  in  time  and  money,  and  on  the  contributions  of  its 
humane  friends.  It  now  covers  in  great  part  all  the  important  lakes  and  rivers  in  the  State,  number-

sail,  steam,  and  naphtha  launches,  are  in  its  service,  and  all  are  intended  to  be  supplied  with  its  flags 
and  life-saving  appliances,  as  fast  as  means  will  permit. 

It  has  directly  saved  in  four  years  1,000  lives,  and  has  awarded  403  medals  for  heroic  rescues 
from  drowning  in  the  State  of  New  York  in  four  years.  Number  of  stations  in  Greater  New  York,

time  is  divided  up  by  service ;  first,  in  the  active  army,  which  answers  to  our  regular  establishment; 
second,  in  the  reserve  to  the  active  armyj  third,  in  the  Landwehr;  fourth,  in  the  Landsturm,  in

Itiflea  Used  by  the  Principal  Powers  of  the   "World,        331 

RIFLES  USED  BY  THE  PRINCIPAL  POWERS  OF  THE  WORLD— CQ7^<mt^6d. 

During  1897  but  little  change  in  small  arms  was  made.  Several  of  the  minor  powers  have  come  \ 
to  a  small  calibre  rifle,  but  the  greatest  change  in  war  weapons  has  been  inaugurated  in  the  artillery 
for  field  service.  The  guns  used  in  the  war  of  1861-65  were  brass  I'i-pounder  Napoleons  and  3-incn 
ordnance  guns.  Both  were  muzzle  loaders.  Their  extreme  limit  ot  range  was  2,600  yards  and  their 
rate  of  fire  po.sibly  6  to 8 a  minute.  They  gave  way  to  breech- loading  rifled  guns,  throwing  heavier 
shot  at  a  rate  of  10  a  minute  and  with  a  range  of  6,000  to  6.000  yards.  These  in  turn  are  passing 
away,  their  places  being  taken  by  quick-firing  or  rapid-firing  guns.  Quick  firers  are  simply  breech- 
loadmgguns,  in  which  the  powder  charge  and  projectile  and  primer  are  all  made  in  one  casing, 
generally  of  brass  or  copper,  similar  to  the  small-arm  cartridge. 

The  powder  used  is  a  slow  burning  but  very  powerful  powder,  and  the  rate  of  fire  attained 
upward  of  20  shots  a  minute.  The  range  is  upward  of  7,000  yards,  and  the  projectiles  in  the  cart- 
ridges are  shrapnel.  These  consist  of  a  casing  of  tin  or  brass,  or  more  recently  steel,  and  containing 
a  great  number  of  bullets,  A  fuse  is  inserted,  which  is  cut  on  a  time  allowance,  and  the  fuse  connect- 
ing with  a  ciiarge  of  high  explosive  or  powder  at  the  bottom  of  the  casing  causes  it  to  burst  when  the 
time  for  which  the  fuse  is  set  has  expired.  The  projectile  bursting  thus  throws  forward  like  a  spray 
ashowerof  bullets  and  pieces  of  steel.  It  is  the  most  deadly  contrivance  of  modern  warfare.  Enorta 
have  been  made  to  apply  the  principle  to  large  cannon,  and  though  not  successful  at  present,  it  can 
be  believed  that  they  soon  will  be. 

The  most  reliable  of  high  explosives  for  use  in  large  projectiles  has  been  settled  on  as  gun-cotton.  All 
foreign  army  artillery  trains  carry  dynamite  or  other  high  explosives,  but  it  is  for  the  purpose  of  de- 
stroying bridges,  buildings,  railroads,  etc. ,  and  not  for  use  in  guns.  Maxim,  an  Ainerican,  claims  to 
have  made  an  explosive  which  can  be  safely  thrown,  but  experiments  in  this  country  do  not  as  yet 
prove  the  truth  of  his  a-^sertion. 

Many  writers,  especially  in  America,  who  have  but  a  slight  knowledge  of  military  affairs,  make 
statements  as  to  what  will  happen  in  future  war.  What  will  happen  and  what  the  result  of  modern 
discoveries  and  inventions  in  war  v\:eapons  will  be  no  man  can  predict,  or  even  imagine.  One  thing 
we  may  be  sure  of,  because  demonstrated  absolutely  in  peace,  and  that  is  that  many  more  deaths  will 
occur  from  the  terrible  shock  produced  by  the  awful  detonations  of  high  explosives  than  will  occur 
from  hits  by  the  projectiles  or  pieces  of  them,  in  which  the  explosives  are  burst.  The  shock  on  the 
nervous  system  is  so  great  that  even  men  concealed  behind  the  steel  armor  of  ships  or  thick  parapets 
of  fortifications  will  give  out  in  a  combat  of  four  hours'  duration. 

SMOKELESS  POWDERS. 

According  to  experiments  before  the  Board  of  Fortification  and  Ordnance,  the  following  explosives 
take  rank  in  order  given,  as  far  as  explosive  force  is  concerned: 

Perunite  B,  17,57;  Perunite  C,15.61:  Perunite  D.13.66;  Explosive  Gelatine,  10.0;  Rack-a-iock, 
9.36:  Emmensite,  5.49;  Gun  Cotton,  3.16;  U.  S,  Rifle  Powder,  1.72  inches. 

The  foregoing  refers  to  blasting  effects  chiefly  and  does  not  give  their  value  as  powders  that  can 
beiased  for  military  purposes.  In  these,  other  virtues  enter  so  deeply  that  in  some  cases  explosive 
effect  must  take  second  rank.  Thus,  a  powder  would  have  no  value,  whatever  its  explosive  effect,  if 
it  were  not  stable  under  the  varying  circumstances  of  war.  It  has  been  pretty  well  demonstrated  that 
wet  gun  cotton  and  emmensite  are  fairly  safe  and  can  be  used  in  projectiles  as  large  as  the  12-inch 
mortar  shells.  There  are  other  and  many  explosives  added  to  the  list  of  last  year.  Thus,  Cannonite, 
Fulgurite,  Progressite,  Americanite,  Schnebelite,  and  a  new  explosive  invented  by  M.  Rossel^  a 
French  chemist,  who  found  that  a  mixtureof  aluminum  filings  and  sodium  dioxide  took  fire  with 
explosive  violence  when  in  contact  with  a  little  moisture.  The  preparatioil  is  very  dangerous,  since, 
when  it  takes  tire,  little  particles  fiercely  burning  are  projected  in  all  directions,  while  the  heat 
engendered  is  sufficient  to  fuse  copper  wire. 

Among  the  advantages  that  it  is  claimed  that  smokeless  powder  will  produce  in  the  battles  of  the 
future  is  accuracy  of  fire,  since  owing  to  the  absence  of  smoke  the  target  will  be  clearer.  It  is  also 
contended  that  the  soldier  will  see  more  clearly  the  ravages  produced  on  the  enemy  by  his  fire.  Aa 
against  these,  however,  the  other  side  holds  that  the  ranges  being  greater,  the  difficulty  of  properly 
estimating  distances  are  so  much  increased  that  tire  will  be  less  accurate.  Also,  the  ravages  pro- 
duced by  the  enemy's  fire  will  be  more  clearly  seen  and  felt  by  the  so  dier.  The  effect  will  be  as 
demoralizing  to  him  as  to  the  enemy.  It  is  human  nature  to  fear  that  which  is  hidden  more  than  that 
wiiich  can  be  seen.  But  the  one  great  advantage  of  smokeless  powder  that  is  above  question  will  be 
the  greater  command  officers  will  have  over  units.  The  field  of  vision  being  clear,  they  can  better  see 
what  is  to  be  done,  and  by  example  and  signs  make  themselves  better  seen  by  their  men.

Estimates  of  area  and  present  population  are  by  Whitaker,  and  in  some  cases  by  the  ' '  Statesman' s 
Year- Book,"  except  for  British  Afi'ica  and  the  late  accessions  there,  which  are  corrected  by  Raven- 
stein's  figures.  The  entire  population  of  the  empire,  according  to  the  estimates  of  the  "Statesman's 
Year-Book,"  is  381,037,374,  and  the  total  area,  11,335,806.  The  East  Indian  possessions  extend 
over  a  territory  larger  than  the  continent  of  Europe  without  Russia ;  but  the  North  American  possessions 
are  greater  still,  and,  inclusive  of  Hudson' s  Bay  and  the  great  lakes,  have  a  larger  area  than  the  whole 
of  Europe.    British  Africa  and  Australasia  are  the  next  possessions  m  size.

Tne  Dominion  of  Canada  has  an  area  of  3, 457, 000  square  miles,  and  comprises  one- sixteenth 
of  the  land  surface  of  the  globe.  It  is  the  largest  of  all  the  British  possessions,  Australia,  the 
next  in  size,  containing  2, 944, 628  square  miles.  The  Government  of  Canada  is  Federal,  centred 
at  Ottawa,  which  city  is  the  capital  of  the  Dominion,  while  the  seven  provinces  and  the  North- 
west Territories  have  their  respective  local  legislatures.  The  head  of  the  Federal  Government 
is  the  Governor- General,  appointed  by  the  Queen  of  Great  Britain,  and  holding  office  for  five 
years,  his  salary  being  paid  by  the  Dominion  Government. 

The  Lieutenant-  Governors  of  the  several  provinces  are  appointed  by  the  Federal  Government 
for  a  term  of  five  years.  The  Legislatures  are  elected  by  the  people  of  each  province.  The

additional  SI,  000.  From  the  decisions  of  this  Court  the  only  tribunal  to  which  appeal  can  be 
made  is  to  the  Judicial  Committee  of  the  Imperial  Privy  Council  of  Great  Britain.  The  only 
other  Federal  Court  is  the  Exchequer  Court,  presided  over  by  a  single  Judge,  for  trying  cases 
connected  with  the  revenue.  All  others  are  of  a  provincial  character,  limited  to  jurisdiction  in 
their  respective  provinces  only.

The  Hawaiian  or  Sandwich  Islands,  discovered  in  1778  by  Captain  Cook,  were  united  Into  one 
kingdom  under  King  Kamehameha  I.  He  was  succeeded  by  Ramehameha  II. ,  and  lie  b^  Kameba- 
mehalll.,  under  whose  reign  the  integrity  of  tbe  kingdom  was  recognized  by  the  United  States, 
France,  and  Great  Britain.  A  constitution  was  granted  to  the  people  By  the  King  in  1852.  He  was 
succeeded  by  his  nephew,  KamehameLa  IV.,  who  died  In  1863.  Kamehameha  V.,  the  brother  of  the 
last  king,  succeeded  and  proclaimed  a  revised  constitution  in  1864.  On  his  death  in  1872,  without 
Issue,  Lunalilo  of  the  roj'al  house  was  elected,  and  on  his  death  Kalakua  was  elected,  and  he  was  suc- 
ceed d  January  20,  1891,  by  his  eldest  sister,  LiliuokalanL 

A  disagreement  between  the  Queen  and  her  Cabinet  in  January,  1893,  as  to  a  new  constitution 
was  taken  advantage  of  by  an  element  of  the  population,  mainly  white  American  residents  and  de- 
scendants of  earlier  American  settlers,  who  formed  a  Committee  of  Safety,  seized  the  government, 
deposed  and  imprisoned  the  Queen,  and  established  a  provisional  government.  In  these  proceedings 
they  were  sustained  by  the  United  States  Minister,  Mr.  Stevens,  who  caused  the  marines  from  the 
United  States  war  vessels  in  the  harbor  of  Honolulu  to  be  landed,  ostensibly  for  the  protection  of 
American  interests.  On  July  4,  1894,  a  republic  was  proclaimed  and  a  constitution  adopted.  It  pro- 
vides for  a  legislative  body  composed  of  a  Senate  of  15  members,  elected  by  indirect  vote  for  six  years, 
one-third  of  the  Senate  being  renewed  every  two  years,  and  a  Chamber  of  Representatives  of  15  mem- 
bers elected  by  indirect  vote  for  two  years.  Senators  must  possess  property  worth  $3,000,  or  have  an 
annual  income  of  81,200.  Representatives  must  possess  property  worth  Si. 000,  or  have  an  annual 
Income  of  $600.  Voters  must  be  of  full  age  and  able  to  speak,  read,  and  write  either  Hawaiian  or 
English.  The  President  must  be  a  Hawaiian  or  have  been  a  resident  in  Hawaii  for  fifteen  years.  He 
Is  elected  for  six  years  by  the  two  Houses  in  united  session  and  is  ineligible  for  the  following  term  of 
oflSce.  The  State  Council  consists  of  15  members,  of  whom  five  are  appointed  by  the  Senate,  five  by 
the  Chamber  of  Representatives,  and  five  by  the  President. 

The  President  of  the  Republic  is  Sanford  B.  Dole,  for  the  term  of  1894-1900. 

The  area  of  the  several  islands  composing  the  group  is  as  follows:  Hawaii,  4,210  square  miles; 
Maui,  760;  Oahu,  600;  Kauai,  590;  Molokai,  270;  Lanai,  150;  Niihau,  97;  Kahoolawe,  63,  Total, 
6,740  square  miles. 

At  the  time  of  the  discr-»ery  of  the  islands  by  Captain  Cook  in  1778  the  native  population  was 
about  200  000.  This  has  steadily  decreased,  so  that  at  the  last  census  the  natives  numbered  but  31,019, 
which  was  less  than  that  of  the  Japanese  and  Chinese  immigrants  settled  in  the  islands.  A  census 
taken  early  in  1897  revealed  a  total  population  of  109,020,  distributed  according  to  race  as  follows:

The  remainder  were  Germans,  French,  Norwegians,  South  Sea  Islanders,  and  representatives  of 
other  nationalities.     The  American  population  is  2. 73  per  cent  of  the  whole. 

The  public  revenue  in  1896  was  estimated  at  $1,879,528,  and  the  public  expenditures  $1,872,409. 
The  public  debt  in  1895  was  S3, 811, 064. 

Sugar  and  rice  are  the  staple  industries,  and  coffee,  hides,  bananas,  and  wool  are  also  exported. 
The  value  of  exports  in  1895  was:  Sugar,  $7,976,000;  rice,  $162,000;  bananas,  $103,000.  Nmety 
per  cent  of  the  trade  is  with  the  United  States. 

There  are  71  miles  of  railroad  and  about  250  miles  of  telegraph  in  the  islanda  All  forms  of 
religion  are  tolerated  and  nearly  all  the  natives  are  Christians.  There  are  Church  of  England  and 
Roman  Catholic  bishops  resident  at  Honolulu,  as  well  as  ministers  of  all  the  principal  denomina- 
tions. Schools  are  numerous.  Honolulu,  the  capital,  with  a  population  of  28,061,  is  lighted  by 
electricity,  and  has  most  of  the  local  features  of  an  enterprising  American  city.  The  bulk  of  the 
business  is  done  by  Americans  and  Europeans. 

Agitation  for  annexation  to  the  United  States  began,  on  the  part  of  the  American  population, 
soon  after  the  establishment  of  the  republic.  A  treaty  to  accomplish  this  purpose  was  adopted  bv  the 
Hawaiian  Government.  Its  acceptance  by  the  United  States  was  pending  when  thi**  edition  of  the 
AXJ4ANAC  was  ready  for  the  press.    The  text  of  the  treaty  will  be  found  on  page  S3. 


Australian  jFrtreration* 


MoVEMEXT  for  a  federation  of  the  Australian  colonies  began  as  far  back  as  1852,  but  the  first 
convention  having  that  purpose  in  view  was  held  at  Hobart  in  January,  1886.  The  colonies  repre- 
sented were  Victoria,  Queensland,  Tasmania,  Western  Australia,  and  Fiji.  South  Australia  sent  a 
representative  to  a  subsequent  meeting.  This  effort  was  abortive,  but  another  conference  took  place 
in  1891  at  Sydney,  N.  S.  VV. ,  which  was  attended  by  seven  delegates  from  each  of  the  colonies,  ex- 
cept New  Zealand,  which  sent  three.  Sir  Henry  Parkes,  the  Australian  statesman,  took  an  ac- 
tive part  in  the  proceedings.  A  plan  of  federal  government  was  proposed,  which  resembled  in  many 
of  its  features  that  of  the  United  States.  A  draft  bill  to  constitute  the  "  Commonwealth  of  Aus- 
tralia" was  adopted  by  the  convention,  and  it  was  agreed  to  submit  it  to  the  approval  of  the  individual 
legislatures  of  the  several  colonies.  This  bill  met  with  success  in  the  lower  branch  of  but  one  colonial 
legislature— that  of  Victoria. 

There  was  a  conference  of  premiers  of  five  Australian  colonies  held  at  Hobart  in  January,  1895, 
and  the  legislative  assembly  or  New  South  Wales  passed  a  federal  enabling  act  in  November  of  that 
year,  and  notice  of  motion  was  given  in  other  parliaments  to  bring  in  a  simlar  bill.  The  latest  effort 
toward  lederation  was  made  in  February,  1897,  at  Adelaide,  when  another  federal  constitution  was 
drafted  and  submitted  to  the  colonial  legislatures  for  criticism.  It  was  returned  from  each  pretty 
well  loaded  down  with  suggestions  and  objections.  The  popular  sentiment,  however,  is  in  favor  of 
federation,  and  it  is  almost  certain  to  come  about  eventually. 

The  following  table  shows  the  population  and  area  of  the  several  colonies  of  which  it  is  proposed 
to  make  a  nation.    The  figures  are  from  the  census  of  1891::

regarded  as  the  ministerial  party,  and  with  them  are  allied  the  National  Liberals  and  some  smaller 
groups,  insuring  the  government  a  majority.  The  President  of  the  Reichstag  is  Baron  vou  Buol-

The  remaining  territory  of  Africa  unoccupied  is  a  part  of  the  great  Desert  of  Sahara  and  the  Inde- 
pendent States  of  Abyssinia  and  Liberia.  Even  this  territory,  except  the  last,  is  destined  to  pass 
under  the  power  of  the  Europeans.    The  tabular  figures  are  from  ' '  The  Statesman' s  Year-Book. ' ' 

*  Egypt  and  the  Egyptian  Soudan,  although  nominally  under  the  suzerainty  of  Turkey,  are  really 
controlled  by  Great  Britain,  and  it  is  only  a  matter  of  time  as  to  when  they  will  be  incorporated  into 
the  British  Empire.  Adding  Egypt  and  the  Soudan  to  the  Empire  would  increase  the  figures  above 
given  to  2,987,755  square  miles  and  47,951,218  population.

GREATER  REPUBLIC  OF  CENTRAL  AMERICA. 

Tho  federation  under  this  title  is  composed  of  the  republics  of  Nicaragua,  Honduras,  and  Salvador. 
President  Cleveland  accorded  recognition  to  it,  by  receiving  its  duly  accredited  envoy  in  1896.  Thi 
federation  is  the  result  of  the  treaty  of  Amapala,  of  June  20,  1895.  Two  Central  American  States 
Guatemala  and  Costa  Rica,  remain  outside.  i?'resident  Cleveland  recognized  the  new  republic  on  the 
distinct  understanding  that  the  responsibility  of  each  of  the  three  constituent  republics  to  the  United 
States  of  America  remains  wholly  unaffected.

The  Bureau  of  the  American  Republics  at  Washington  was  established  under  the  recommendation 
of  the  late  International  American  Conference,  for  the  prompt  collection  and  distribution  of  commer- 
cial information  concerning  the  American  Republics.  It  publishes  translations  of  the  tariffs  of  the 
countries  of  Latin  America  reduced  to  the  United  States  equivalents;  also  handbooks  of  these  coun- 
tries, and  a  monthly  bulletin  containing  the  latest  information  respecting  their  resources,  commerce, 
and  general  features.  Replies  are  also  furnished  to  inquiries  in  relation  to  the  commercial  and  other 
affairs  of  the  countries,  and  items  of  news  giving  recent  laws  of  general  Interest,  development  of  rail- 
ways, agriculture,  mines,  manufactures,  shipping,  etc.,  are  given  to  the  press.  The  Bureau  is  sus- 
tained  by  contributions  from  the  several  American  Republics  in  proportion  to  their  population.

*  New  York  State  census  of  1892.  The  j)opulation  of  the  territory  embraced  within  the  limits  of 
"Greater  New  York"  is  about  3,200,0CKj.  The  New  Jersey  suburbs  oi  New  York  have  apopula- 
lanon  of  about  500,000,  which  is  not  included  in  the  estimate,  t  There  has  been  no  official  census 
of  Chicago  since  1890.  For  the  present  Mayor' s  estimate  see  page  367.  t  Official  estimate.  The  statis- 
tics of  population  of  largest  cities  of  the  earth  other  than  those  of  the  United  States  have  been  taken 
mainly  from  the  "• '  Statesman' s  Year-Book' '  for  1897.     For  Cities  of  the  United  States  see  page  367. 

Note.— The  population  of  Chinese  cities  other  than  Canton,  Pekin,  and  Shanghai  is  omitted, 
because  reports  respecting  it  are  utterly  untrustworthy.  There  are  forty  or  more  Chinese  cities  whose 
inhabitantiarenumberedby  rumor  at  from  200, 000  to  1,000,000  each,  but  no  official  censuses  have 
ever  been  taken ;  and  setting  aside  consideration  of  the  Oriental  tendency  to  exaggeration,  there  la 
reason  to  believe  that  the  estimates  of  population  in  many  instances  covered  districts  of  coimtry  bear- 
ing the  same  names  as  the  cities,  instead  of  definite  municipalities.

GOVERNMENT    OF    THE    DISTRICT    OF    COLUMBIA. 

The  government  of  the  District  of  Columbia  is  vested  by  act  of  Congress  approved  July  11,  1878,  in 
three  Commissioners,  two  of  whom  are  appointed  by  the  President  from  citizens  of  the  District  having 
had  three  years'  residence  therein  immediately  preceding  that  appointment,  and  confirmed  by  the 
Senate.  The  other  Commissioner  is  detailed  by  the  President  of  the  United  States  from  the  Corps  of 
Engineers  of  the  United  States  Army,  and  must  have  lineal  rank  senior  to  Captain,  or  be  a  Captain  who 
has  served  at  least  fifteen  years  in  the  Corps  of  Engineers  of  the  Army.  The  Commissioners  appoint 
the  subordinate  official  service  of  said  government.  The  present  Commissioners  are  John  WI  Ross 
(Democrat),  President,  whose  term  will  expire  AprillS,  1900 ;  John  B.  Wight  (Republican),  whose 
term  will  also  expire  April  13,  1900;  Captain  W.  M.  Black  (non-partisan).  Corps  of  Engineers, 
United  States  Army,  detailed  during  the  pleasure  of  the  President  of  the  United  States.  The  Secretary 
is  William  TindaU,  The  offices  of  the  Commissioners  are  No.  464  Louisiana  Avenue,  N.  W. ,  Wash- 
ington. 

Washington  had  a  municipal  government  from  1802  to  1871,  when  Congress  provided  a  territorial 
form  of  government  for  the  entire  District  of  Columbia,  with  a  Governor  and  other  executive  officers, 
a  house  of  delegates,  and  a  delegate  in  Congress  elected  by  the  people,  and  a  Council  appointed  by  the 
President  of  the  United  States.  This  form  of  government  was  not  a  success,  and  was  abolished  June 
20,  1874,  and  a  temporary  government  by  three  Commissioners  substituted.  The  temporary  gov- 
ernment by  Commissioners  was  so  satisfactorv  that  the  present  form  of  government  by  three  Com- 
missioners was  incorporated  by  act  of  July  11,  1878.  Congress  makes  all  laws  or  the  District,  but  has 
intrhsted  to  the  Commissioners  authority  to  make  police  regulations,  building  regulations,  plumbing 
regulations,  and  other  regulations  of  a  municipal  nature.  For  area,  population,  assessed  valuation, 
etc.,  see  preceding  page.

376  United  States   Naval  Academy   at  Annapolis.^ 

WixiittH  .States  JWilttarg  ^catrems  at  WitHt  l&oint 

Each  Congressional  District  and  Territory— also  the  District  of  Columbia— is  entitled  to  have  one 
cadet  at  the  Academy.  There  are  also  ten  appointments  at  large,  specially  conferred  by  the  President 
of  the  United  States.  The  number  of  students  is  thus  limited  to  three  hundred  and  seventy-one.  At 
present  there  is  one  extra  cadet  at  the  Academy,  who  wfts  authorized  by  Congress  to  enter  it  at  his 
own  expense  from  Salvador. 

Appointments  are  usually  made  one  year  in  advance  of  date  of  admission,  by  the  Secretary  of 
War^  upon  the  nomination  of  the  Representative.  These  nominations  may  either  be  made  after  com- 
petitive examination  or  given  direct,  at  the  option  of  the  Representative.  The  Representative  may 
nominate  a  legally  qualified  second  candidate,  to  be  designated  the  alternate.  The  alternate  wUl  re- 
ceive from  the  War  Department  a  letter  of  appointment,  and  will  be  examined  with  the  regular  ap- 
pointee, and  if  duly  qualified  will  be  admitted  to  the  Academy  in  the  event  of  the  failure  of  the  princi- 
pal to  pass  the  prescribed  preliminary  examinations.  Appointees  to  the  Military  Academy  must  be 
between  seventeen  and  twenty-two  years  of  age,  free  from  any  infirmity  which  may  render  them 
unfit  for  military  service,  and  able  to  pass  a;careful  examination  in  reading,  writing,  orthography, 
arithmetic,  grammar,  geography,  and  history  of  the  United  States. 

The  course  of  instruction,  which  is  quite  thorough,  requires  four  years,  and  is  largely  mathemati- 
cal and  professional.  The  principal  subjects  taughtare  mathematics,  French, drawing,  drill  regulations 
of  all  arms  of  the  service,  natural  and  experimental  philosophy,  chemistry,  chemical  physics,  miner- 
alogy, geology,  and  electricity,  history,  international,  constitutional,  and  military  law,  Spanish,  and 
civil  and  military  engineering,  and  art  and  science  of  war,  and  ordinance  and  gunnery.  About  one- 
fourth  of  those  appointed  usually  fail  to  pass  the  preliminary  examination,  and  but  little  over  one-half 
the  remainder  are  finally  graduated.  The  discipline  is  very  strict— even  more  so  than  in  the  army— and 
the  enforcement  of  penalties  for  oflFences  is  inflexible  rather  than  severe.  Academic  duties  begin 
September  1  and  continue  until  June  1.  Examinations  are  held  in  each  January  and  June,  and  cadets 
found  proficient  in  studies  and  correct  in  conduct  are  given  the  particular  standing  in  their  class  to 
which  their  merits  entitle  them,  while  those  cadets  deficient  in  either  conductor  studies  are  discharged. 

From  about  the  middle  of  June  to  the  end  of  August  cadets  live  in  camp,  engaged  only  in  military 
duties  and  receiving  practical  military  instruction.  Cadets  are  allowed  but  one  leave  of  absence 
during  the  four  years'  course,  and  this  is  granted  at  the  expiration  of  the  first  two  years.  The  pay  of  a 
cadet  is  five  hundred  and  forty  dollars  per  year,  and,  with  proper  economy,  is  sufficient  for  nis  sup- 
port.   The  number  of  students  at  the  Academy  is  usually  about  three  hundred. 

Upon  graduating  cadets  are  commissioned  as  second  lieutenants  in  the  United  States  Army.  The 
whole  number  of  graduates  from  1802  to  1897  has  been  three  thousand  eight  hundred  and  eight 
(3,808).  It  is  virtually  absolutely  necessary  for  a  person  seeking  an  appointment  to  apply  to  his 
Member  of  Congress.  The  appointments  by  the  President  are  usually  restricted  to  sons  of  omcersof 
the  army. 

The  Academy  was  established  by  act  of  Congress  in  1802.  An  annual  Board  of  "Visitors  is  appointed, 
seven  being  appointed  by  the  President  of  the  United  States,  two  by  the  President  of  the  Senate,  and 
three  by  the  Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives.  They  visit  the  Academy  in  June,  and  are  pres- 
ent at  the  concluding  exercises  of  the  graduating  class  of  that  year.  The  Superintendent  is  Colonel  O. 
H.  Ernst,  of  the  Corps  of  Engineere,  and  the  military  and  academic  staff  consists  of  sixty- four  per- 
sons.   Captain  Wilber  E.  Wilder,  Fourth  Cavalry,  is  adjutant. 

The  three  oldest  living  graduates  of  the  Military  Academy  are  General  George  S.  Greene,  U.  S.  A. 
retired,  of  New  Jersey,  who  was  graduated  in  1823;  Joseph  Smith  Bryce,  of  District  of  Columbia,  and 
Thomas  A.  Davies,  of  New  York,  who  were  graduated  in  1829. 

sanitetr  States  Kabal  ^catrems  at  Annapolis, 

There  are  allowed  at  the  Academy  one  naval  cadet  for  each  Member  or  Delegate  of  the 
United  States  House  of  Representatives,  one  for  the  District  of  Columbia,  and  ten  at  large.  The 
apixjintment  of  cadets  at  large  and  for  the  District  of  Columbia  is  made  by  the  President,  The 
Secretary  of  the  Navy,  as  soon  after  March  5  in  each,  year  as  possible,  must  notify  in  writing 
each  Member  and  Delegate  of  the  House  of  Representatives  of  any  vacancy  that  may  exist  in  his 
district.  The  nomination  of  a  candidate  to  fill  the  vacancy  is  made,  on  the  recommendation  of 
the  Member  or  Delegate,  by  the  Secretary.  Candidates  must  be  actual  residents  of  the  districts 
from  which  they  are  nominated. 

The  course  of  naval  cadets  is  six  years,  the  last  two  of  which  are  spent  at  sea.  Candidates 
at  the  time  of  their  examination  for  admission  must  be  not  under  fifteen  nor  over  twenty  years 
of  age  and  physically  sound,  well  formed,  and  of  robust  condition.  They  enter  the  Acaaemy 
immediately  after  passing  the  prescribed  examinations,  and  are  required  to  sign  articles  binding 
themselves  to  serve  in  the  United  States  Navy  eight  years  (including  the  time  of  probation  at  the 
Naval  Academy),  unless  sooner  discharged.  The  pay  of  a  naval  cadet  is  five  hundred  dollars  a 
year,  beginning  at  the  date  of  admission. 

At  the  end  of  the  third  year  the  new  first  class  is  separated  into  two  divisions,  namely :  the 
Line  Di\asion  and  the  Engineer  Division,  the  numbers  of  these  divisions  being  proportioned  to 
the  vacancies  that  have  occurred  in  the  several  corps  during  the  preceding  year. 

At  the  end  of  the  six  years'  course  appointments  to  fill  vacancies  in  the  Line  and  in  the 
Marine  Corps  are  made  from  the  Line  Division,  and  to  fill  vacancies  in  the  Engineer  Corps  from 
the  Engineer  Division. 

If,  after  making  assignments  as  above,  there  should  still  be  vacancies  in  one  branch  and 
surplus  graduates  in  the  other,  the  vacancies  in  the  former  may  be  filled  by  assignment  to  it  of 
surplus  graduates  from  the  latter. 

At  least  fifteen  appointments  from  such  graduates  are  made  each  year.  Surplus  graduates  who 
do  not  receive  appointments  are  given  a  certificate  of  graduation,  an  honorable  discharge,  and 
one  year' s  sea  pay. 

The  Academy  was  founded  in  1845  by  the  Hon.  George  Bancroft,  Secretary  of  the  Navy  in 
the  administration  of  President  Polk.  It  was  formally  opened  October  10  of  that  year,  with 
Commander  Franklin  Buchanan  as  Superintendent.  During  the  Civil  War  it  was  removed  from 
Annapolis,  Md. ,  to  Newport,  R.  I. ,  but  was  returned  to  the  former  place  in  1865.  It  is  under 
the  direct  supervision  of  the  Bureau  of  Navigation,  Navy  Department.  Captain  P.  H.  Cooper, 
United  States  Navy,  is  the  present  Superintendent.

Com. ,  Commanding.  N.  Y.,  Navy  Yard. 
The  origin  of  the  Navy  Department  may  be  said  to  date  from  October  13,  1775,  when  Congress 
authorized  the  equipment  of  two  cruisers,  mounting  respectively  10  and  14  guns.  Before  the  end  of 
that  year  fifteen  more  vessels  of  from  20  to  36  guns  were  authorized.  The  affairs  of  the  navy  were  at 
that  time  intrusted  to  a  "  Marine  Committee.  "  In  1798  the  present  department  was  formally  created, 
and  Benjamin  Stoddart  appointed  the  first  Secretary.

Infor'mation  About  the  City  of  New    York. 


Organized  April  6, 1768.  Incorporated  by  George  the  Third  March  18,  1770.  Reincorporated  by 
the  State  of  New  York  April  13,  1784.  Its  object  is  indicated  in  the  following  words  of  the  original 
charter:  ' '  Sensible  that  numberless  inestimable  benefits  have  accrued  to  mankind  from  commerce; 
that  they  are,  in  proportion  to  their  greater  or  lesser  application  to  it,  more  or  less  opulent  and  potent 
in  all  countries;  and  that  the  enlargement  of  trade  will  vastly  increase  the  value  of  real  estates  as  well 
as  the  general  opulence  of  our  said  colony, "  and  "to  caiTy  into  execution,  encourage,  and  promote, 
by  just  and  lawful  ways  and  means,  such  measures  as  will  tend  to  promote  and  extend  just  and  law- 
ful commerce. ' ' 

During  the  decade  1760-1770,  according  to  Lord  Sheffield's  Observations,  the  average  yearly  value 
of  American  Colonial  imports  from  Great  Britain  was  £1,763,409,  and  of  exports  to  the  same  country 
£1,044,591.  Up  to  the  evacuation  of  the  city  by  the  British  and  its  occupation  by  the  Americans,  on 
the  25th  of  November,  1783,  the  New  York  Chamber  of  Commerce  had  had  seven  presidents,  thirteen 
vice-presidents,  eight  treasurers,  one  secretary,  and  135  members.  In  May,  1763,  the  Sandy  Hook 
Lighthouse  was  lighted  up  for  the  first  time.  In  1786  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  first  suggested  the 
construction  of  the  Erie  Canal,  and  in  1784  petitioned  the  New  York  Legislature  (which  so  ordered) 
that  duties  should  be  levied  under  a  specinc  instead  of  an  ad  valorem  tarifif— a  system  of  which  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  has  ever  since  been  the  constant  advocate. 

As  a  society  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  consists  of  twelve  hundred  and  fifty  regular  members. 
Initiatory  fees  have  varied  between  the  sum  of  ten  Spanish  dollars,  required  in  1770,  and  $25,  which 
is  now  demanded  from  every  accepted  candidate. 

The  oflBces  and  meeting  rooms  are  at  32  Nassau  Street,  Manhattan  Borough,  New  York.  Officers: 
President,  Alexander  E.  Orr ;  Secretary,  George  WUson ;  Treasurer^  Solon  Humphreys.

timated cost  upward  of $10,000,000

•After  January  1,  1898,  this  debt  became  a  part  of  the  "common  debt"  of  New  York  City,  and 
ceased  to  be  a  debt  of  the  county,  t  The  towns  were  probably  indebted  to  the  extent  of  at  least 
$500,000,  in  addition  to  the  county  debt.  The  incorporated  villages  of  New  Brighton,  Port  Richmond, 
Edgewater,  and  Tottenville  had  also  a  debt  of  probably  not  less  than  $500,000.  The  school  districts 
had  a  debt  of  at  least  $500,000  prior  to  December  1,  1897.  The  net  result  was  that  Richmond  County 
10  per  cent  limit  had,  when  all  classes  of  debt  were  considered,  been  exceeded  by  more  than  $1,500,000. 
§  Estimated  from  such  data  as  appeared  from  time  to  time  in  the  newspapers.  If  By  Section  5  of  the 
Charter  the  proportion  of  the  county  debt  given  above  applicable  to  the  territory  annexed  to  the  city  of 
New  York  became  a  part  of  the  common  debt  of  Greater  New  York,  and  it  is  probable  that  the  debt 
limit  of  the  territory  annexed  was  exceeded  by  at  least  $4,000,000,  instead  of  $2,000,000.  (a)  In  this  esti- 
mate no  consideration  had  been  given  to  improvements  under  way  in  any  portion  of  the  Greater 
New  York  except  Manhattan   Island  and  the  Borough  of  Bronx.

Whti-k  no  team  could  lawfully  lay  claim  to  the  collegiate  championship  in  1897,  as  in  the  two  pre- 
tIous  years,  still,  to  the  Yale  eleven  was  accorded  the  most  praise ;  and  if  the  Blue  had  met  the  Penn- 
sylvania team  and  had  won,  the  New  Haven  mea  would  have  been  acknowledged  undisputed 
champions.  They  played  a  tie  game  with  Harvard  and  defeated  Princeton  6  to  0,  and  there  was  little 
doubt  that  they  could  have  overcome  the  Quakers,  although  the  latter  defeated  Harvard  15  to  6.

FREE  TRIAL  TO 
ANY  HONEST  MAN 


SCIENCE  TRIMMma 
THE  LAMP  OF 
UFE. 


The  Foremost  Medical 
Company  in  the  World 
in  the  Cure  of  Weak 
Men  Makes  This  Offer. 


HAPPY  MARRIAGE, 
HEALTH,  ENERGY, 

AND  LONG  LIFE. 


In  all  the  world  today— in  all  the  his- 
tory of  the  world— no  doctor  nor  institu- 
tion has  treated  and  restored  so  many 
men  as  has  the  famed  ERIE  MEDICAL 
COMPANY,  of  Buffalo,  N.  Y. 

This  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the  company 
controls  some  inventions  and  discoveries 
which  have  no  equal  in  the  whole  realm 
of  medical  science. 

So  much  deception  has  been  practised  in 
advertising  that  this  grand  old  company 
now  makes  a  startling  offer. 

They  will  send  their  magically  effective 
appliance  and  a  month's  course  of  re- 
storative remedies  positively  on  trial, 
without  expense,  to  any  reliable  man. 

Xot  a  dollar  need  be  paid  until  results  are 
known  to  and  acknowledged  by  the  patient. 

The  Erie  Medical  Company's  Appliance 
and  Remedies  hav«  been  talked  of  and 
written  about  till  every  man  has  heard  of 
them. 


The  highest  medical  authorities  in  the 
world  have  lately  commended  them. 

They  possess  marvellous  power  to  vital- 
ize, develop,  restore,  and  sustain. 

They  create  vigor,  healthy  tissue,  new 
life. 

They  stop  drains  that  sap  the  energy. 

They  cure  all  effects  of  evil  habits,  ex- 
cesses, overwork. 

They  give  full  strength,  development, 
and  tone  to  every  portion  and  organ  of 
the  body. 

Failure  impossible,  age  no  barrier. 

This  "Trial  without  Expense"  offer  is 
limited  to  a  short  time,  and  application 
must  be  made  at  once. 

No  C.  O.  D.  scheme,  nor  deception ;  no 
exposure— a  clean  business  proposition  by 
a  company  of  high  financial  and  profes- 
sional standing. 

Write  to  the  ERIE  MEDICAL  COMPANY, 
BUFFALO,  N.  Y.,  and  refer  to  their  offer 
in  this  book.

Why  be  a  SLOW-COACH  all  your 
life?    Get  out  of  the  RUT  of  "old- 
fogyism !  " 

Procure  a  copy  of  Goodwin's  Im- 
proved Book=keeping  and  Business 
Manual  and  "  get  in  line  "  with  all  the 
progressive,  "up-to-date"  Book-keepers 
and  Business  Men  of  the  present  day ! 
The  NEW  POINTS  acquired  from  this 
book  will  make  a  difference  in 

Your  salaries  as  Book-keepers 
Your  success  as  business  men. 

"  it  raised  my  salary  from  $780 
to  $1,650  a  year!" 

"  It  saved  us  the  expense  of  one 
man  in  our  office  I  " 

Don't  wait  until  you  need  it  so  badly 
that  you  will  have  to  TELEGRAPH 
for  it,  as  many  others  have  done,  but  send  far  a  descriptive  parnphlet  at  once,  upon  receipt  of 
which  you  will  surely  order  a  copy  of  THE  BOOK.  51,368  copies  sold  and  5,206  testi- 
monials received  up  to  October22,  1897. 

BE  A  BOOK-KEEPER- 
BE  A  FIRST-CLASS  BOOK-KEEPER  I 
You  Will  Never  Fall  Asleep  Over  Your  Work 

or  be  troubled  over  long  columns  of  figures,  if  you 
will  purchase  and  master  the  contentsof  Goodwin's 
Improved  Book-keeuNg  and  Business  Manual. 
This  book  is  not  a  luxury,  but  a  necessity — particu- 
larly to  the  progressive.  It  leads  directly  to  money- 
making  and  money-saving.  You  can  learn  from  it 
in  three  weeks  how  to  open,  keep,  and  close  a  set 
of  double-entry  books  for  a  business  of  any  kind 
and  any  size,  average  accounts,  compute  interest, 
prove  postings,  audit  accounts,  teach  book-keeping, 
do  expert  work,  change  books  from  single  to  double 
entry,  take  off  trial  balances  or  find  errors  therein, 
make  annual  reports  and  comparative  statements 
and— save  40  per  cent,  of  labor  in  any  office.  MONEY  REFUNDED  if  you  do  not  consider 
the  book  worth  TEN  TIMES  what  you  pay  for  it ! 

Or  in  any  way  connected  with  a 


STOCK  COMPANY? 


If  so,  you  should  possess  a  copy  of  GOOD- 
WIN'S IMPROVED  BOOK-KEEPING 
and  BUSINESS  MANUAL. 

This  book  explains  at  length  how  the 
books  of  STOCK  COMPANIES  are  opened 
and  closed,  and  describes  in  detail  many 
other  peculiarities  appertaining  especially 
to  this  class  of  business  concerns.  It  will 
prove  of  especial  value  as  a  BOOK  OF 
REFERENCE,  as  it  contains  more  prac- 
-+ical  information  on  the  subjectXif  STOCK 
COMPANIES  than  that  contained  in  all 
the  other  works  which  have  ever  been  pub- 
lished. It  is,  in  fact,  an  AUTHORITY 
on  ihe  subject,— among  the  LARGEST  CORPORATIONS  OF  THE  WORLD. 

"  Would  not  take  $50  for  the  information  I  have  gained  from  your  article  on  Stock  Companies  alone  I 
Your  book  is  by  far  the  most  thorough  and  complete  exponent  of  ADVANCED  BOOK-KEEPING  I  have  ever 
seen."— W.  L.  Barnes,  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the  Providence  Coal  Co.,  Providence,  Ky.,  March  14,1892.

FREE  BOOK 
TO  WEAK  MEN. 

" Three  Classes  of  Men"  is  the  title  of 
a  little  pocket  volume  I  send  sealed  free  to 
men,  giving  in  plain  language  what  I  have 
learned  from  thirty  years'  experience  as  a 
specialist  in  all  results  of  SELF- ABUSE 
or  Later  Excesses,  such  as  NIGHT  EMIS- 
SIONS, DRAINS  AT  STOOL  or  after 
PASSING  WATER,  QUICK  DIS- 
CHARGE. SHRUNKEN  ORGANS, 
VARICOCELE,  LOSS  OF  MEMORY, 
LAME  BACK,  NERVOUS  DEBILITY, 
Etc.     It  also  shows  just  why 

DRUGS  NEVER  CURE 

I  use  nature's  owu  simple  remedy,  ELECTRICITY,  and  cure  95 
per  cent.  With  my  ELECTRIC  BELT  and  SUPPORTING  SUS- 
PENSORY, known  and  used  the  world  over,  I  restored  last  year 
5,000  men,  young  and  old,  to  PERFECT  SEXUAL  POWER.  I 
know  the  action  of  every  drug  and  medicine  that  was  ever  used,  and 
can  prescribe  if  you  wish,  but  let  me  say,  as  physician  to  patient, 
drugs  only  stimulate.     ELECTRICITY  STRENGTHENS. 

QUACKS,  HUMBUGS, 

and  Impostors  all  over  the  country  are  advertising  "  Free  Medicine," 
*•  Free  Prescriptions,"  and  "Medicine  on  Trial."  Don't  be  deceived 
by  such  offers.  You,  reader,  and  I  know  they  are  rotten  to  the  core. 
How  can  they  pay  their  bills?  Did  you  ever  get  something  for 
nothing  ?  I  charge  a  reasonable  price  and  give  results.  If  you  live 
near  enough  drop  in  and  consult  me,  free  of  charge,  or  write  to-day 
for  above  book,  which  gives  full  information.

Words  are  easily  found.  Pronunciation  is  easily  ascertained.  Meanings  are  easily  learned. 
The  growth  of  words  easily  traced,  and  because  excellence  of  quality  rather  than  superfluity 
of  quantity  characterizes  its  every  department.    It  is  thoroughly  reliable.

"'The  Science  of  Life,  or  Self-Preservation,'  is  a  Medical  Treatise  of  rare  merit  and  great  value, 
from  the  pen  of  a  distinguished  author  and  famous  medical  practitioner  and  Nervo-Specialist.  It  is 
pre-eminently  a  book  for  every  man.  It  is  published  by  the  reliable,  time-honored,  and  far-famed 
Peabody  Medical  Institute,  which  is  of  itself  a  guarantee  of  excellence  and  high  ch?racter.  It  would  be 
better  for  the  individual  and  the  State  if  all  were  conversant  with  the  truisms  so  tersely  set  forth  in  this 
noble  work.  It  is  not  of  that  cheap  order  of  abominable  trash  sent  broadcast  by  irresponsible  parties 
and  purchased  to  gratify  coarse  tastes,  but  a  work  of  such  intrinsic  value  as  cannot  be  measured  by  dol- 
lars and  cents,  coming  as  it  does  from  a  source  eminently  trustworthy  and  reliable,  containing  facts 
which  should  be  known— facts  which  must  be  known."— Medical  Review. 

••The  Peabody  Medical  Institute  has  many  would-be  imitators,  but  no  equals."— Boston  Herald.
