I have a. sympathy with them, but I am far from quarreling with the man who thinks and feels old, and sometlmea I have had doubts about the "sincerity of tbe simplicity of which we have heard so much. Was there not a, little too much In riding; up to the capital, hitching: the horse to a post and stepping Into the court room to take the oath of office? Wuld our cltlsens approve if the chief magistrate of this great and powerful nation were today to so regard the proprieties and amenities as to follow these examples "The simplicity of the days when few had a dollar and no one cared whether he had It or not, have passed on. CHn anybody say thle J alto gether bad? Can we have any better test than the power to accumulate, and better government than the wlae self Interest of wealth? I am not childlike enough to suppose that tfr.e rworld Is going to pause on account of my prejudices or going to stop those determined to get rich because we don't know how." CHANGE NOT POSSIBLE.

The Imperial Council Chambers at St Petersburg are at present a nerve center, owing to the important eon feranees held there with the purposes of formulating general war policies. he was sentenced to 45 days' Impris onment. 'Before being removed he turned to address the court. 'Then I must calyl a constable a monkey V he said. "Certainly not; you must not insult the police." The culprit reflected. "May I call a monkey a constable?" he asked, with a Hash of genius. The judge shrugged his shoulders and holding no brief for the animal be replied, "If it gives you any satlsfac lon." With a smile of gratification the prisoner turned on his heel in the dock and bowed to his prosecutor. "Good day, constable," he said. Boston Transcript. UNCOMMON WISDOM. Some Astoria People Profit by Neigh bors' Experience. It's a wise man who profits by the experience of his friends and neigh bors. Here Is a chance to do It, and every man, woman or child In Astoria who knows the misery of a bad back, the nervousness and restlessness caused by kidney complaint or the an noyance of urinary disorders will show uncommon wisdom to profit by this citizen's advice. B. Meredith, the well-known brick mAMon. contractor and builder of Port larid, who lives at 661 21st street, says "Doan's Kidney, Pills is one of the best remedies I ever used, an I cheer fully recommend them to anyone suf fering with kidney xrouble. I was bothered for years with attacks of kid ney complaint and no medicine gave me permanent relief, until I procured Doan's Kidney Pills. (1 was so well pleased with them that when my wife had a severe attack, a short time ago and could hardly get about to do her work.,1 had her take Doan's Kidney Pills. In two or three days they strengthened her up In fine shape. We both endorse the claims made for Doan's Kidney Pills and have nothing but the highest terms of praise for such a valuable remedy."

Cut on the front of the drinking trough Is this Incription: "In memory of the mute fidelity of the four hundred thousand horses killed and wounded at the call of their masters during the South African War, 1899- 1902, In a cause of which they knew nothing, this fountain is erected by a reverent fellow creature." HEAVY BUYING UNEXPLAINED DIRECTOR EXPRESSES DOUBT Movement in Union Pacific Stock Not Thought to Be to Get Control. Does Not Believe That Northern Securities Decision Will Be Followed By Other Court Action. Frankfort-on-the-Main, April 14. Jacob Schnif, the New York banker and director of the Northern Securi ties Company, who Ik now here, says in an Interview in the Frankfurter Zeltung that the recent heavy buying inurement In the Union Pacific Is as yet unexplained but it cannot be as sumed that it is due to the purpose of a new group of capitalists to get -control of the property. The persons now controlling the entirprlse. he says, are too firmly established and too strong hi capital to afford other parties any prospect of getting a controlling in terest. . ' It is almost certain, he says, of the Pennsylvania Railroad's $50,000,000 that it will be offered upon maturity for conversion into stock with prefer ence to old stockholders. Mr. Sshnlff doubts whether the north ern Securities decision will be fol lowed by action of the courts against similar combinations. It will, how ever, he thinks, prevent the formation of further combinations, which would certainly have been organized if the decision had been favorable to the Northern Securities Company. This would have led to more stringent leg islation by congress and state legis latures and hence although he is a member of the Northern Securities board he. thinks that the dissolution of the Northern Securities Company will have a favorable effect. Admiral Alexieff. The viceroy looks younger than he Is, bearing lightly the weight of his 60 years. His long, flowing beard, burning black eyes, with an occasion al yellow sheen, and his somewhat prominent nose bespeak his Armenian extraction. He has had no classical education, no experience of politics, no time for meditation, and little taste for history. His prominent qualities are those of a clever naval officer, and It Is In this, his own special sphere, that he may be reasonably expected to justify the high hopes which the bulk of his countrymen repose In him; a to his qualifications for political diplo macy, and for the administration of as vast territory In troublesome time many of them are very doubtful, hold ing that he assesses an elert mind with no originality, and that th source of his strength Is courage and self-mastery rather than Intellect or statesmanship. Unless events belie their forecast and he rises to the emer. gency, they will continue to assert la the future, aa in tbe past and present, that bureaucracy In Russia Is Incapa ble of producing a single strong man. Review of Reviews. Whisky Causes Typhoid. Chicago, April 14. Whisky drink ing as one of the causes of typhoid fever is given by Dr. George W. Webster, president of the State Board of Health, In an address beore the Young Men's Christian Association.
