said that the usa of the adjective and
the failure to Rive the citizens a
definite name for the Country to dis
tinguish it from Canada or the other
divisions of tbe western hemisphere
left a great national want. He said
that we needed a single word, a sign
of our identity, "in which no other
people shall have part of lot " "Co
lumbia" was lost to us now, and
there was small chance that ''Fre
donia," "Freeland," 'Vineland,"
"Washington,"' Vesperia,'' '"Cabo
tia," or any other suggested title
would be adopted. For himself he
preferred ''America." When the
English refer to us as "Yankees"
ond to our country as "the states, "
what spasms of honor must run
down the Tyler spine, says an ex

blundering and unimiginative.

-1 TTie two recent snow storms in
New York city cost the municipality
$200,000, and even then the snow
ras 'only partly removed. The
huge army of street cleaners om
ployed by Colonel Waring look very
trig in their uniforms and thev are
well managed by the department
but at that rate New York cannot
afford to have many visitations of
tbe "beautiful."
Prices for windows on Pennsyl
vania avenue, Washington, on inau
guration day are rising rapidly.
Latest quotations: single window,
75 to $100; single rooms with two
or three windows, $.'500; suite with
eight windows, $1,000 to 5,000.
These prices will be paid for the
privilege of seeinglu-over Cleveland
and William McKinley ride in the
same carriage and witnessing the
longest parade ever known at an in
auguration in the Capital city.

Everybody Invited to Visit This Special Sale,
After a canvass of the leading na
tions of the world it is figured that
the total number of copies of news
papers printed in u singte year is
12,006,000,000. Some idea of what
this enormous figure means maybe
had if one bears in mind that to
print the world snewspapers a year
requires 781,240 tons of paper, or
1,662,480,000 pounds, while it would
take the fastest press in America
333 years to print a single year's
edition, which would produce astak
of papers nearly fifty miles hih.

Commissioner Meriwether, of the
Missouri bureau of statistics, has
made an exhaustive study of the
subject of street railway franchises
and cheap fares. Among other facts
illustrating the possibilities of a re
duction to 3 cents without crippling
the companies, he cites the result in
Glasgow, where with a maximum
charge of a penny a mile the busi ness
has returned 10 per cent divi
dends after paying fixed charges.
Such facts seem hardly credible in
communities accustomed to paying
5-cent fares, but they will become
credible Anally and then fares will
come down .
The largest oak wine vat in the
world is being set up by the Cali
fornia Wine Association at the I-ach-tnen
cellar in Brannan street, in
" Ran Francisco. The famous Heidel -berg
casket is a baby by the side of
the newcomer, which has the prc -
. portions of a two-story cottage and
on the bottomof which four quadrille
sets coukl be danced with ease.
The Heidelberg wonder has a capa-
! city of 50,000 gallons, while this
San Francisco monster is to hold
80,000 gallons. The huge oak is
oral-6haped or. the ground and
measures 27 by 30 feet in each di-
" rection, while the great staves rise
to ft height of 20 feet and are from
two and a half to three- inches in
thickness. The . wood used will
-weigh twenty tone and the iron
hoops' would tarn the scales at six
tons or over.
