THE NEW YORK LIFE is a purely mutual company, and has been in business over
half a century. Its policies impose no restrictions upon the instired, and are
incontestable after beln^ in force one year. They allow days of grace in pay-
ment of premium, provide for reinstatement, premium return, cash loans, cash sur-
render values, extended or paid-up insurance, accumulation of surplus during selected
periods, and for options in settlement, adapting their value to any circumstances of
the insured. Policies are automatically and absolutely non-forfeitable after three
years' premiums have been paid ; their insurance value cannot be lost by neglect.
The NEW YORK LIFE "will consider applications for insurance at the ordinary
rates upon the lives of persons engaged In occupations apparently in voUang an extra
hazard, and upon the lives of women, and policies Issued to such persons at ordinary
rates will contain a clause placing them in classes, and providing that any apportion-
ment of surplus shall be based on the mortality actually experienced in the respective
classes. Persons insured on this plan include United States Army and Navy oflScers ;
miners of gold, silver, copper, and iron ; members of paid fire departments ; police-
men, prison wardens, sheriffs, constables, marshals, etc.; railroad engineers, foremen
and freight conductors: harbor pilots and officers of certain vessels; and all women.
The NEW YORK LIFE began in July, 1896, the issue of an "Adjustable Accumula-
tion Policy" for sub-standard lives. It is issued at the same premium rates as its
"Accumulation Policy, with Guaranteed Cash Values and Annual Loans," and pro-
vides an annually increasing scale of indemnity, which finally reaches the full face
of the policy at about the fifteenth year. Persons who have been rejected for insur-
ance upon what they consider insufficient grounds, and persons who have hesitated
to apply for Insurance through fear of rejection, are invited to examine this policy.
The NEW YORK LIFE issues, in addition to the ordinary forms of insurance,
Instu*ance Bonds with Guaranteed Interest, Continuous Installment Policies, rive
Per Cent Debenture Policies, Ordinary and Survivorship Annuities, Children's Endow-
ments, and Educational Annuities for Children. Under its authority as a Trust
Company, the NEW YORK LIFE issues policies upon the Trust Certificate plan, under
which the proceeds of the policy at death are paid to the beneficiaries named in such
manner as desired by the insured, unpaid portions remaining at interest.

The Wokld's history continues to be that of progress. The year 1896, now closed, was the greatest in
its existence. The week-day circulation reached, in November, the enormous average of 820,212 copies per
day, exactly double the figures for the same month in 1892, and the circulation of the great Sunday
WoKLD (no evening edition), passing the 600,000 mark on October 4, touched the magnificent total of 681,089
on December 13. Three great octuple presses, the largest ever made, were added to a press equipment
now unequalled in any daily newspaper office on earth, being the equivalent of fifty-seven single presses,
designed for an output of 744,000 eight-page papers per hour I
The World began its work for the presidential campaign months before the assembling of the
National Convention at Chicago. It warned the unbelieving Democrats of the Eastern and the Middle
States of the imminent danger of a free-silver control of that body. And it warned the Democrats of
the South and West that an alliance with the forces of Free Silver and Populism would involve party
suicide as well as party shame.
It diligently set forth in extracts from the writings of all the fathers of Democracy, the sound-
money doctrines that have dominated Democratic thought from the times of Jefferson and Jackson to
those of Tilden and Cleveland.
When that unhappy result at Chicago occurred, The World did not neglect any part of its duty as
a public censor. It condemned the blunder. It showed the folly, the mischievousness, and the falsity of
the doctrines written into a Democratic platform by Populists in no way in sympathy with the tradi-
tional teachings of Democracy or with the aspirations of Democrats. But it also pointed out the fact
that there were beneath and behind this outbreak of Populism real and substantial grievances. It
recounted the history of the trust oppressions, the insolence of corporate wealth, and the utter failure dur-
ing two administrations — the one Republican and the other Democratic — to enforce the laws enacted to
prevent and punish these conspiracies of Greed against Need, or even to make a decent pretence of a desire
to enforce them. It pointed to pledges broken, to hopes deferred, to legitimate desires defeated, as the
causes of that popular discontent which had found mistaken and unfortunate expression at Chicago.
Throughout the campaign it continued both its criticism of the wrongs done and its condemnation of
the mistaken remedy proposed. It persisted in its advocacy of sound money as a necessity to the
National honor and to the reputation of American citizenship for integrity and common honesty. In
open letters to Mr. Bryan, it urged him to take up the Democratic declaration against a revival of the
McKinley tarifif, to make prominent its opposition to trusts, and to disavow the platform attack upon the
Supreme Court and its denial of the supremacy of the National authority in enforcing Federal law.
At the same time, it gave to Mr. McKinley and his party a needed warning against the blunder they
are about to make — a warning that his election, accomplished, as it was, only with the aid of Democratic
votes, should not be construed as a verdict of the people in favor of a restoration of excessive tariff
schedules, or as an invitation to that radical tariif disturbance upon which the extremists of the Repub-
lican party seem to be determined. And since the election it has steadily urged upon Congress the fact
that present needs of the country are summed up in the three words : Retrenchment, Revenue, and Rest.
"THE WORLD" IN PROPHECY.
The value of absolute independence in a public journal which has for its aim the desire to give to the
public all the news, and for its highest purpose to tell the truth, has been demonstrated admirably dur-
ing the year just closed, made memorable by an intensely exciting presidential election. When the first
significant sign of the trouble that was to follow came in the free-silver capture of the Missouri Demo-
cratic convention, THE World, on April 17, gave warning that the adoption of the free-silver idea would
be political suicide, losing to the Democrats the Democratic States of New York, New Jersey, Connecti-
cut, and every other Northern State that was carried by the Democrats in 1892. How well that warning
foretold the disaster of November is a matter of history now.
The World announced, with "prophetic vision," on March 16, 1896, that the Republican National
Convention, to be held in St. Louis ninety-four days later, would select William McKinley as the candi-
date for President, The World's " prophetic vision " was really knowledge gotten by a careful poll of
The World.
27
every State in the Union by its 3,000 news correspondents. The announcement was made without " if 8 "
or "probabilities" or reserve. It said:
"WHY M'KINLEY WILL BE NOMINATED.
*'Here are some of the reasons why it is safe to predict that William McKinley will be
nominated for President by the Republican Convention at St. Louis :
" 1. Because he is the only National candidate, the only candidate representing a National
idea and a National issue. He stands for the aggressive radical sentiment of the Republican
party. His name is linked with a single idea and no matter how mediocre or talentless he
may really be, the popular imagination sees in him the champion of a great issue, the father
of protection.
"2. Because no one else mentioned for the candidacy is linked in the popular mind
with a National policy, a National idea, a National sentiment, or a National measure.
"3. Because he is a Western candidate and has behind him the enormous sectional
pressure of Western sentiment, without the aid of which no Republican has ever been elected
President. In fact, the Republicans have never chosen any but Western men for their can-
didates, except in the case of Blaine, and he was beaten. Fremont in 1856, Lincoln in 1860
and 1864, Grant in 1868 and 1872, Hayes in 1876, Garfield in 1880, and Harrison in 1888 were all
Western candidates.
"4. Because the opposing candidates have none of them any strength outside of their
own State or section. Morton has only New York. Allison has nothing but Iowa. Reed has
only New England. All combined are impotent against a united West and South.
"5, Because last, but not least, the very fact that Mr. McKinley is opposed by the two
most powerful bosses in the East, Piatt and Quay, and the two most odious, despotic political
machines, is bound to create a reaction in his favor ; bound to give him the sympathy of the
masses, who hate bosses ; bound to help him in the end.
"We predict that William McKinley, of Ohio, will be nominated."
Sunday, April 12, sixty-seven'days before the Convention, The Wokld told that Mark Hanna had
made a compact with the New Jersey leaders, by which New Jersey was to support McKinley, after
which Hanna was to throw all the McKinley votes to Hobart for Vice-President.
On November 18, after the results of the election were finally ascertained, The World printed this
review of its forecasts, under the heading, "The Value of Freedom :"
" The official declaration of the result of the election in Wyoming and South Dakota,
giving those States to Mr. Bryan, leaves the final division as follows :

McKinley's majority 99
" The popular plurality for McKinley is upward of 800,000. The largest plurality ever
given before was for Grant over Greeley in 1872, which was 762,951. Tilden's plurality in 1876
was 250,935. Garfield's in 1880 was only 7,018. Cleveland's, on his first election, was 62,683,
and in 1892 it was 380,810.
" The Republicans will have a majority of over fifty in the lower house of Congress.
There will be a sound-money majority of at least ten in the Senate.
" Now that all these results are determined, we may, perhaps be pardoned for recalling
the early, specific, and unvarying predictions which we made concerning them They have a
public interest in view of the extravagant and manifestly insincere or ignorant 'claims ' put
forth from time to time by the newspaper organs of either party, and the rival political lead-
ers. Both sides claimed from 300 to 350 electoral votes, and control of the two houses of
Congress. Having no interest or desire, except to be judicially fair and absolutely accurate,
we described the situation, and forecasted the results precisely as they appeared to us. The .
value of perfect freedom and entire independence in a public journal, united with an honest
purpose to print the news, and tell the truth, was never more clearly demonstrated than by
28 The World.
this incident. The readers of The Wobld -vrere led to anticipate precisely the results that
followed even to the smallest detail.
" The free-silver capture of the Missouri Convention, in AjM-il, was the first significant and
alarming sign of what was to follow. On April 17, the day after that triumph, we gave this
warning:
" ' We say to the Democrats of the South and West that the party is just as certain to lose
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and every other Northern State under the policy approved
in Missouri, as Election Day is to come. SUCH A COURSE WILL BE PARTY SUICIDE
IF PERSISTED IN '
"Next in order of time was this interview with Mr. Pulitzer by a representative of the
Chicago Tribune, on June 27 :
" 'Will you give your views on the money question, and the probable effect of free silver
on our foreign commercial relations ? '
" ' I consider "free silver " absolutely dead. There is not the remotest shadow of a chance
that free silver can ever become a reality in the United States, without international agree-
ment, even if our Chicago Convention should adopt it by unanimous vote. The question was
settled when the last House of Representatives rejected free silver by a most overwhelming
majority, and is finally settled since the Republican platform has unequivocally and most
intelligently made opposition to free silver the party creed.'
" 'Will you give some of your own views on the coming presidential campaign? '
" 'That is a pretty hard question. I think the Democrats ought to drop the free-silver
oraze, as it is perfectly useless, and would only ensure Mr. McKinley's election and their own
destruction, the triumph of the protectionists, the revival of force bills in the South, general
profligacy at Washington, centralization, and more and more trusts and monopolies than
ever With a vigorous attack upon trusts, monopolies, and privileged classes, a fearless
acceptance of the tariff issue as represented by the McKinley bill, and a united party, the
Democrats could still make a splendid fight. These are the two lines on which to fight the
money power and its corrupting influence and oppression. Raising the silver standard will
not only hurt them, but will in addition divert the public mind from our real trouble, the real
issue, the real causes of complaint, and tend to a Republican revival beyond precedent on
an entirely false issue, and to more tariff and trust rings and robbery than before.*
" On the day after the nominations at Chicago, July 11, we gave reasons for our faith that
the ticket was doomed to defeat. We said :
*' ' There is no doubt as to the result of the election except as to the size of McKinley's
popular and electoral majorities. To question this is to doubt the intelligence, the underlying
honesty, and the public morality of the people. Opinions as to the result, upon the issue which
the free-silver monometallists have forced, are a test of faith in the people. Thk Wokld
believes — it MUST believe — in the abiding good sense and the active conscience of the Amer-
ican people. It is absolutely confident that the proposal to debase the currency to the standard
of a few semi-civilized countries, against the standard and the experience of the most
enlightened and prosperous nations, CANNOT STAND THE TRIAL OF A FOUR MONTHS'
DISCUSSION.'
"On September 5 we gave our view of the situation * In a Nutshell,' illustrated with a
large map:
'"The result in Vermont makes it certain that every New England State will vote for
McKinley. Here are six States, with 39 electoral votes. The same influences will give to the
Republican candidates the other Eastern States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, and Delaware. Here are five more, having 89 electoral votes, or 128 in the East.
With this start McKinley will need only the votes of six of the Central Western States to
ensure his election : Illinois 24, Indiana 15, Iowa 13, Michigan 14, Ohio 23, Wisconsin 12. 'These
States have 101 electors, which would bring the total to 229, or five more than are required
for an election.'
"On October 10, after a long review of the Senatorial situation, with a classification of
the Senators holding over and to be elected, we said :
" 'The next Senate will have a certain majority for sound money.
"On October 21, two weeks before the election, we gave 'A Judicial Forecast* of the
result, which was widely copied and commented upon. We said :
'"First — Mr. McKinley's election is certain. As The World showed two months ago in
its "nutshell" illustration and map, he is reasonably sure of the seventeen Eastern and
Middle States — New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Iowa. They cast 229 electoral votes — five
more than a majority.
" {Every one qf these teventeen States went exactly aa predicted.)
" ' Second — Mr. Bryan is reasonably sure of seventeen States. He will get every State
that fully or partially entered the Confederacy — South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina,
Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas.
He will get every silver-mining-camp State — Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and Montana.
These seventeen States cast 145 electoral votes.'
" {Every one qf these seventeen States tcetit exactly as predicted.)
"•Third— Of the remaining eleven States, four— Kentucky, Minnesota, West Virginia,
and North Dakota — are also certainfor Mr. McKinley. They cast 31 electoral votes. They were
not included with the seventeen McKinley States, because their votes are not needed, and the
simplicity of the comparison is greater without them. They will increase Mr. McKinley's
vote from 229 to 260. 'This leaves seven States to be accounted for — California, Oregon, Wash-
ington, Wyoming, South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska. The probabilities are that Mr.
Bryan will get the most of their 42 electoral votes.'
" {This result, too, was exactly aa predicted. McKinley earriad the your States named, Bryan
earried * the moat ' {fina out qf seven) qfthe remainder.)
*' • Fourth — The next Sonate \rill have a small but secure majority for sound money. The
next House of Representatives will have a working Republican majority.'
*(Both these predictions are exactly_ful/illed. The sound-money (not BepuhUcan) majority in
the Senate is 'small but secure.' The Republican majority in the House is 51, against 133 in ths
present Congress.)
" In view of the actual results, and of the broad scope and daring details of these pre-
dictions, we think it must be admitted that this was the most remarkably accurate forecast
ever made of a presidential election. Even now, with the ofl&cial determination covering
every one of the 45 States before us, we would not change a word of the prophecies. They
stand forever verified by the facts."
AIC INTERNATIONAL SERVIOK
That a great, free, fearless, and independent newspaper is a mighty power for good, a moral force in
th« community and nation, has been given startling proof during the year just closed. When The
World stayed the passions of two nations, dividing the English-speaking race, and by sheer force of
its influence and appeal to the conscience of the people restored the Venezuelan question to its place as
a matter for diplomacy to settle, not bloody war, the old year was dying. It was on Christmas Day,
189S, that The World published, as responses to its enquiries, messages of peace and good will from
cthe leading public men, prelates, and statesmen of England. The plaudits and thank-offerings of the
TfThdle English-speaking race rung out the old year and rang in the new.
In evidence of the gratitude of that portion of the English-speaking people who live across
the Atlantic, for Thk World's successful efforts in averting "bloody war," the Peace and Arbitra-
tion Societies of Great Britain waited on Mr. Joseph Pulitzer, the Director of The World, in
June, on the occasion of a vacation visit to England, and presented an address in recognition of the
services of this paper.
The World had a long and exclusive interview with Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, British
Secretary for the Colonies, on the day he arrived in Ameriea. It was so imjwrtant that all the next
morning's papers copied it. In it he said: "The World led public thought when it secured express-
ions and opinions from leading men of America and Great Britain, and performed an inestimable
service to the English-speaking people of the whole world. War between the two countries would be a
terrible calamity, and TSK World i)erformed a patriotic service to this country. It did not wait for
a leader, but led the people."
Mr. Gladstone said in The World: " Only common sense is needed." The Prince of Wales so far
forsook traditions and mediaeval notions of royal etiquette as to address the American people in a
friendly spirit through The World, expressing his hope for a peaceful settlement of the imbroglio.
England and the United States joined to establish an international court of arbitration, whose work may
constitute one of the landmarks of the history of civilization. It was a distinct triumph for publicity,
publicity, publicity. Grreat Britain is better off for the peaceful settlement. So are the United States.
So is Venezuela, and so are the British Colonies in Guiana. The Venezulaa Commission will make no
report. None is necessary.
RESTORING NATIONAL CREDIT.
The smashing of the " bond ring " in the first month of the year was a crowning triumph for "Pub-
licity, the greatest moral force and factor in the universe." New Year's Day, 1896, it was announced
from Washington that there would be an issue of thirty-year 4 per cent bonds, and that the Government
had negotiated with the Morgan Syndicate for the sale of the bonds "at about the same price " paid in
February, 1895, for an issue of $62,300,000 worth of the same kind of bonds, the new issue being made neces-
sary by *he depletion of the gold reserve. The country was shocked, for The World had pointed out
that the bonds of the previous issue, sold to the Syndicate for 104^, were quoted on the market at 118
or more, and the new bonds should surely bring as much. The sale as planned would not only involve an
immense loss to the Treasury, but the very suggestion of it impaired the nation's credit at home and
abroad. On January 3, 1896. The World addressed "An Appeal to the President." It sfiowed him the
nature of the blunder he was about to make, entreated him to cancel the Syndicate arrangement, and
show his faith in a patriotic people by offering the bonds at public sale. It assured him that the people
would take the bonds and would pay a much higher price for them ; and as a guarantee of its confidence
in the Government and in the people. The World pledged itself to take one million on its own account,
which it afterwards bid for at the highest market price, and was awarded. For days The World
stood almost alone in defence of the National honor and credit. It never flinched. It
despatched telegraphic messages to 10,370 bankers in all parts of the country, and received 7,130 replies,
each speaking encouraging words, and many promising to take a portion of the bonds. The appeal of
The World was heeded. On January 7 The World was able to announce that the bankers of the
country, alone, were ready to subscribe for double the amount of the issue, and reluctantly the Adminis-
tration yielded. The battle was won. It had been demonstrated, as The World had declared, that the
people were ready and able to respond to any call which the Treasury might make. It smashed the gold
ring, which had been cornering the yellow metal in preparation for this profitable deal with the country.
The issue of $100,000,000 bonds was offered to the highest bidder in denominations of $50, as The World
had suggested. Again The World invoked "Publicity, publicity, publicity," the safeguard of popular
government. When the last day allowed to bidders had expired and the bids were opened, it was found
that no less than 6,677 patriotic citizens had rushed to the support of the nation's credit. They had bid
for $558,269,850 of the bonds, nearly six times the amount of the issue. Over eight hundred bids were at
110 or better. The head of the smashed Syndicate bid 110.6877 for the whole or any part of the issue—
$6,000,000 more than his Syndicate would have paid had not The World knocked the bottom out of the
secret deal and secured a public sale for and to the people. The whole issue was finally disposed of at an
average price of nearly 112, netting $6,888,836 more to the Treasury than would have come in had the
secret sale been consummated. If the interest on the saving for thirty years, the life of the bonds, is
added, the saving to the Treasury was over $20,000,000. But more important than all this was the
restoration of the credit of the nation.
ELECTION REPORTING EXTRAORDINARY.'
After the polls had closed on the most exciting presidential election in a generation, the people
turned naturally to The World for the earliest news of the result. And their faith in the swiftnesB
and accuracy of the most powerful news-gatherer on earth was amply justified.
At four minutes past 8 o'clock in the evening The World announced to the more than three
million people, whose homes are practically within sight of the dome of the Pulitzer BuildinjTt home of
Thb World, that McKinley had been chosen by the people.
30 The World.
The people of Greater New York and the New Jersey highland towns got the news of the result
when, at the minute named, powerful lights of golden hue were flashed in brilliant streams across the
horizon and upward towards the empyrean from the great dome and many towns scattered about the city.
Other agreed upon signal lights told the news from the larger and more imxKtrtant States. Jersey City
and Harlem also had their ofificial Wokld signals.
For those people, and there were countless thousands of them, who wanted more detailed accounts
of the battle of the ballots, The World provided huge bulletin boards on which returns were flashed
in giant letters and figures by means of powerful stereopticons. These were at the main office, the
uptown, Harlem, and Brooklyn offices of The Wokld.
Fifty thousand people filled Park Row, Printing House Square, and the City Hall Park. In the early
evening they listened to the music of a band of musicians, stationed on the balcony in front of and
over The Wobld office. A canvas bulletin, the largest ever naade, one hundred and eighty feet
high, fifty-nine feet in width, covered the Park Row facade, and on its white surface were thrown from
30,000 candle-power electric projectors in giant letters the bulletins of the news as it was sent In from
North, South, East, and West by the faithful and alert news-gatherers of The World.
No such complete service was ever before provided, and the roar of the plaudits of that mighty mul-
titude was deafening when, scarcely two hours after the polls had closed in their own nearby districts,
The World announced the result of the election in nearly all of the forty-five States. The crowd stayed
until 2 o'clock in the morning, eagerly reading the details of the great National conflict.
In front of The World's uptown office the crowds watched moving pictures, thrown by a new device,
of Major McKioley in the door-yard of his Canton home, and received in duplicate all the returns given
by a wire circuit from the ma,in office to all The World's bulletin and signal points.
On the day after election the sales of The World reached the stupendous record-breaking aggregate
of 1,397,129 copies,

to death in the dark, nor put to the sword in secret in Cuba. And because it persistently gathered and told
the truth about the brutal butchery of peaceful citizens and helpless women and children, four of its
correspondents were exi)elled f rom the island by Captain-General Weyler — for telling the truth.
* Yet despite all this disagreeable publicity, the Spanish authorities have practically acknowledged
that The World only seeks and publishes the truth by giving to it their confidence. The Spanish
Prime Minister, Oanovas, addressed the American people through The World, March 7, stating the
attitude and policy of Spain ; a new thing in international complications for the head of one government
to address himself to the people of another through their foremost newspaper 1
The Princess Eulalie prayed God jn a letter to the American people tlurough The World that cor-
dial relations between the two countries might never cease.
General Maximo Gomez, the leader of the revolutionary patriots, sent a three-column authoritative
statement to The World of the plans, aims, hopes, and strategic position of the revolutionists, in Feb-
ruary, saying: " Cuba is confident of victory, but is willing to pay $100,000,000 for freedom."
General Martinez de Campos wrote in defence of the attitude of Spain and deprecation of that of
America towards Cuba. He said he believed that "Recognition of Cuban belligerency by the United
States would be an assault on international morals." Weyler, who had been named to succeed Campos,
told the same correspondent that the rebellion could be suppressed in two months. Twelve months have
slipped by since then, and The World is still diligently informing the world how Weyler is doing it.
The wrecking of the Cuban filibuster, J. W. Hawkins, under General Calixto Garcia, off Vineyard
Haven, with the loss of twelve lives and $70,000 worth of munitions, was first told to the public in a World
extra. The World told of the second great blow to the Cuban cause, the seizure of the steamer Ber-
muda by the Government off Liberty Island, February 25, a few hours after it happened and a whole
day before its morning contemporaries got the news. It gave the full text of Captain-General Weyler's
proclamation placing Eastern Cuba under martial jnile and ordering every one to come into the city of
Havana under penalty for disobedience. The World has constantly ajad consistently urged that our
(Government recognize Cuba's patriots as belligerents.
A BIRTHDAY GIFT— GREATER NEW YORK.
Gkjvemor Morton signed the bill consolidating the counties of New York, Kings, Queens, and Rich-
mond into one great mimicipality the day after The World's birthday. May 11, 1896, The World was
the first to advocate the creation of a Greater New York out of the cities and towns embraced in this
territory, one m interest and each part essential to the whole. With the same pertinacious determina-
tion that has characterized The World in every movement in the onward march of progress, it never
faltered, never lagged, never flagged in its advocacy of this great advance movement of the3.200,QOO
people of the natural metropolis and commercial centre of the Western World. The consummation of
the idea came like a tardy birthday gift to its most earnest advocate, and was received with ineffable
satisfaction. These words and this prophecy were spoken by The WoRlJ> on the subject: " The central
glorious fact is that the metropolis is one city, the greatest in the world next to London, and destined to
surpass even London within the lifetime of persons now living."
DEBATE OF LABOR, FOR LABOR, BY LABOR.
The largest and the most representative mass-meeting of labor ever held in New York gathered at
Cooper Union the evening of September 22, by invitation of The World, to debate the effect on wages
of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1. Political discussion is forbidden in the trades
assemblies, yet the wage-earners had more at stake in the decision of that question than any other class
of voters. The World gave them an opportunity to compare views by hiring Cooper Union, throwing
open its doors, and inviting the toilers to come and debate. Fifteen thousand men tried to squeeze into
the hall. Those who failed to get in organized outdoor overflow meetings and listened to debaters from
their own ranks. The 4,000 who squeezed into the hall, most of whom stood up for four hours, listened to
a discussion of the financial problem by eighteen workingmen, nine selected by each side, all of whom
den^oqstrated that the American workingman reads, thinks, and decides for himself.
AS A MEDIUM OF COMMXINIOATION.
The "World is Quite tmlversally recognized as the surest medium of communication with the
American people. This recognition received a striking illustration when Dean Farrar, of Canterbury,
desiring to communicate with those who by descent or by religious instinct were likely to be interested
in the efforts to preserve "the mother cathedral of England and birthplace of Christianity," addressed
an appeal for assistance to all such through its columns. And Spain's Prime Minster, desiring to lay before
the American people his defence of Spain in her attitude towards rebellious Cuba, found the surest way
to reach them was through The Wokld. Gomez, the Cuban patriot leader, did the same, and Eulalie
thanked all America, through The World, for her kindly treatment here.
Annie Besant, the noted Theosophist, made an appeal on behalf of the famine-stricken people of
India in The World of December 11
December 15, The World printed a signed cable from General Weyler giving his version of the
killing of the Cuban leader. General Antonio Maceo.
OTHER PUBLIC SERVICES.
The record of public services performed, accomplished, or consummated by The World during 1896
is a long one. Those mentioned below are "minor services," only in that they affect a smaller public
directly, though their moral influence must inevitably extend to and affect a much wider community.
They are not international like the triumph in the Venezuelan imbroglio, nor National like the smash-
ing of the gold ring and restoration of credit, but they affect smaller communities.
The rescue of Fifth Avenue, the finest show street in the world, and its transformation into a fine
promenade, pleasure drive, and approach to Central Park, from and through the most densely populated
part of older New York. All the powers opposed it as "class legislation." The World proved that all
"classes" favored it. A soft, smooth road-bed was ordered in place of the hard and noisy granite, and
when the Aldermen advance another step in civilization and restrict traffic to pleasure vehicles during
certain recognized pleasure hours. Fifth Avenue will be the most charming pleasure thoroughfare for
rich and poor on earth. But this public service goes further. It was the first step in the system of
regulation of roads and traffic, which has made our Boulevard and other city thoroughfares beautiful.
The exposure of the practice of petty bribery in the Bail Bond Department of the District Attorney's
Office led to a reorganization of that department on a plan that makes bribery impossible.
The World succeeded in getting the Bridge Trustees to make the bridge roadways free to
bicyclists.
The opening of the night schools at an hour more convenient for seekers after education whose daily
employments detained them late.
The law compelling better lighting of Manhattan Elevated cars, about to go into effect.
Release of Lizzie Schauer, an innocent girl railroaded to the i)enitentiary through Magistrate Mott's
Court, for no offence.
The persistent demand for a lowering of street-car fares, a crusade which seems about to come to a
satisfactory conclusion,
When the great city of St. Louis was overwhelmed by the tornado of last June, millions of dollars
worth of property ruthlessly destroyed, and hundreds of lives lost, The World not only published
most complete accounts of the calamity, but secured and published complete lists of those who had lost
their lives or been injured in person or property, thus informing anxious friends and relatives all over
the country how their friends in St, Louis had fared. The World's check for $5,000 in aid of the
sufferers was telegraphed to the Mayor of the stricken city.
WANTON WASTE OP VALUABLE FRANCHISES.
The World has been a consistent opposer of the practice of giving valuable franchises and monopolies
to corporations without just compensation to the people. It protested against the proposal of the State
Superintendent of Public Works to surrender the canals to a syndicate of New York iwliticians, and
through its efforts the Legislature passed a law forbidding it. But lo ! it was found that while the bill
was under consideration the Superintendent had given a franchise to the Cataract General Electric Com-
pany, which gave the corporation a practical control of the State's artificial waterways. This paper
pointed out that that franchise should yield nearly enough in revenue to pay the expense of the State
Grovemment. The sequel proves the correctness of The World's contention. The Cataract Company
received an offer of $3,000,000 from an English syndicate for the control of the electric traction on the
canals, only a small part of the privileges enjoyed under the franchise. What remains is worth easily
$5,000,000. An $8,000,000 franchise belonging to thepeople was literally thrown away and that sum lost,
so far as the taxpayers are concerned.
The World, ever watchful of the welfare of the municipality in which it lives, turned its powerful
searchlight on the Aldermanic grant of a fuel-gas franchise worth millions, and demanded that th»
people be protected.
CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
With fidelity to its ideals, The World has been a constant and urgent advocate of Civil Service re-
form in every branch of the public service, believing that the constantly increasing number of public
servants should not be allowed to become a formidable army of political place-holders voting to keep
themselves in place regardless of the effect on the welfare of the covmtry. On May 7 President Cleve-
land transferred 30,000 Federal offices from the domain of spoils to the protection of the Civil Service
rules, crowning The World's efforts with almost complete triumph after years of fighting.
The long contention of The World for elevated roof gardens on public piers in the great rivers for
the relief and recreation of the denizens of the tenement-houses in easy access to the water front, has at
last resulted in the adoption of a system of pier gardens by the Department of Docks under the Walker
law, passed by the Legislature in response to The World's suggestion and advocacy.
In the interest of the great National game of baseball, when the New York team was losing its fair
prestige because of a disagreement between the pitcher, Amos Rusie, and the manager of New York's
Giants over a heavy fine. The World offered to pay the big pitcher's fine, ia order that his serrioes
might be enlisted in the championship contest — surely an offer of public servioe.
BROAD, TRUE CHARITIES.
The two great charities conducted successfully by The World — the Sick Babies* Fund and the
Christmas-Tree Fund— have been a power for good. In spite of the hard times, the Christmas-Tree Fund
grew so great that seven richly laden Christmas trees bore Santa Clans fruit for upward of 50,000 poor
children, while the Sick Babies' Fund was ample for the work of a small army of physicians, sent out to
32 The World.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY OP "THE WORLD."
Naturally a newspaper that tells the truth and fears not makes some enemies. The World has
won many friends, too. They have expressed themselves warmly at times. Said Senator Peffer in a
Fourth of July address at Topeka: " The New York World easily leads. Its daring strokes of enter-
prise have never been equalled, and its facilities for gathering the news of the world are without parallel.
I will cite three instances," said the Senator, and then he described The World's services to the
country in the Venezuelan affair, the smashing of the bond ring, and "its third great stroke in showing
the exact situation of affairs in Cuba, the loyalty of the Cubans, and the justness of their cause. l^E
World has done more to bring about the existing state of public opinion on the Cuban question than
any other agency."
Other newspapers look to The World as the leader, as these expressions indicate :
Brooklyn Eagle : "The innumerable company of The World's ever-increasing readers."
T?ie Mexican Herald : "Mr. Joseph Pulitzer has performed services of genuine statesmanship, equal
to that of Bismarck, and deserves the thanks of humanity for helping to prevent war between two
English-speaking nations."
Eeview of JReviews : "It seems to be an undoubted fact that this single newspaper, through its ag-
gressive energy, made it possible for the Grovemment to succeed in floating the great loan by pubho
subscriptions."
Boston Post : " THE WoRLD gave voice to the sentiment of the people. It is a great public service
which The World has performed."
Boston Herald : "THE WORLD'S faith in the American Eagle is something both sublime and gen-
erous."
Atlantis, New York's Greek paper : " The all-powerful World."
CWcago iZecord congratulates The World on being "the most conspicuous exponent in American
journalism of the principle of the highest possible value for the lowest possible price."
London Land and Water: "Hats off to American journalism. Would any but an American editor
have had the glorious audacity to do what the New York World has done? It was magnificent joar-
nalism, but has made diplomats froth at the mouth."
Brighton (£ng.) Society : "The New York WoRLD in particular has shown what a power for good a
great newspaper can be."
Chauncey M. Dep«w: "The penny newspaper, the Bible, and a good dictionary are a milBoient library
for most men. I believe The World has the strength, and my best wishes are with it."
John Brisben Walker : "THE WORLD stands in the forefront of American civilization."
London Chronicle : "THE WORLD is the wonder of the joumalistio world. It is beyond all compari-
son the most successful newspaper in the United States, if not in ail countries. In any matter of
American public life The World has played a prominent part ; ita course from triumph to triumph has
been steady and 8j>eedy."

Ember and Rogation Days are certain periods of the year devoted to prayer and fasting. Ember
Days (twelve annually) are the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday after the first Sunday in Lent,
after the feast of Pentacost (Whit Sunday), after the festival of the Holy Cross (September 14), and
after the festival of St. Lucia (December 13). Ember Weeks are the weeks in which the Ember Days
appear.
Rogation Days are the three days immediately preceding Holy Thursday or Ascension Day.
The Roman Catholic Days of fasting are the forty days of Lent, the Ember Days, the Wednesdays
and Thursdays of the four weeks in Advent, and certain vigils or evenings prior to the greater feasts.
In the American Episcopal Church the days of fasting or abstinence to be observed, according to
the Book of Common Prayer, are the forty days of Lent, the Ember Days, the three Rogation Days,
and all the Fridaj's of the year except Christmas Day. In the Greek Church the four principal fasts
are those in Lent, the week succeeding Whitsuntide, the fortnight before the Assumption, and forty
days before Christmas.
Thk interval oetween two consecutive transits of a fixed star over any meridian or the interval
during which the earth maKes one absolute revolution on its axis is called a Sidereal Day, and is invari-
able, while the interval between two consecutive transits of the Sun over any meridian is called an
Apparent Solar Day, and its length varies from daj' to daj' by reason of the variable motion of the
earth in its orbit, and the inclination of this orbit to the equator, on which time is measured.
A Mean Solar Day is the average or mean of all the apparent solar daj's in a year. 3Iean Solar
Time is that shown by a well-regulated clock or watch, while A2rparent Solar Time is that shown by a
well- constructed sun-dial; the difference between the two at anytime is the Equation of Time, and
may amount to 16 minutes and 21 seconds. The Astronomical Day begins at noon and the Civil Day
at the preceding midnight. The Sidereal and Mean Solar Days are both invariable, but one day of the
latter is equal to 1 day, 3 minutes, and 56. 555 seconds of the former.
The interval during which the earth makes one absolute revolution round the Sun is called a Side-
real Year, and consists of 365 days, 6 hours, 9 minutes, and 9. 6 seconds, which is invariable.
The Tropical Year is the interval between two consecutive returns of the Sun to the Vernal
Equinox. If this were a fixed point, the Sidereal and Tropical Years would be identical ; but in conse-
quence of the disturbing influence of the moon and planets on the spheroidal figure of the earth, the
Equinox has a slow, retrograde mean motion of 50. 26" annually, so that the Sun returns to the Equi-
nox sooner every year than he otherwise v/ould by 20 minutes, 23. 6 seconds ; the Tropical Year, there-
fore, consists of ^365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds. The Tropical Year is not of uniform
length ; it is now slowly decreasing at the rate of . 595 seconds per century, but this variation will not
always continue.
Julius Csesar, in B.C. 45, was the first to reform the calendar by ordering that every year whose
date number is exactly divisible by 4 contain 366 days, and all other years 365 days. The intercalary
day was introduced by counting the sixth day before the Kalends of March twice; hence the name
bissextile, from bis, twice, and sex, six. He also changed the beginning of the year from 1st of March
to the 1st of January and also changed the name of the fifth month (Quiutilis) to July, after himself.
The average length of the Julian year is therefore 305^ days, which, however, is too long by 11
minutes and 14 seconds and this would accumulate in 400 years to about three days. The Julian
Calendar continued in use until a. d. 1582, when the date of the beginning of the seasons occurred 10
days later than in b. c. 45, wlien this mode of reckoning time was introduced.
The Gregorian Year was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII. with the view of keeping the Equinox
to the same day of the month. It consists of 363 days, but every year exactly divisible by 4 and the
centurial years which are exactly divisible by 400 contain 366 days; and if in addition to this
arbitrary arrangement the centurial years exactly divisible by 4,000 contain 366 days, the error in the
Gregorian system will amount to only one day in about 20 centuries. If, however, 31 leap years
were intercalated in 128 years, instead of 32 as at present, the calendar would be practically exact
and the error would not amount to more than a day in 100,000 years. The length of the mean
Gregorian Year may therefore be set down at 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, 12 seconds. The Gregor-
ian Calendar was introduced into England and her colonies in 1752, at which time the Equinox had
retrograded 11 days since tlie Council of Nice in a. d. 325, when the festival of Easter was established
and the Equinox occurred on March 21; hence September 3, 1752, was called September 14, and
at the same time the commencement of the legal year was changed from March 25 to January 1, so
that the year 1751 lost the months of January and February and the first 24 days of March. The dif-
ference between the Julian and Gregorian Calendars is now 12 days. Russia and the Greek Church
still employ the Julian Calendar for civil and ecclesiastical purposes.
^tantrartr ^irnr*
PkimakiIjV, for the convenience of the railroads, a standard of time was established by mutual
agreement in 1883, by Which trains are run and local time regulated. According to this system, the
United States, extending from 65° to 125o west longitude, is divided into four time sections, each of
150 of longitude, exactly equivalent to one hour. The first (eastern) section includes all territory
between the Atlantic coast and an irregular line drawn from Detroit to Charleston, S. C. , the latter
being its most southern point. The second (central) section includes all the territory between the last-
named line and an irregular line from Bismarck, N. D. , to the mouth of the Rio Grande. The third
(mountain) section includes all territory between the last-named line and nearly the western borders
of Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. The fourth (Pacific) section covers the rest of the country to the Pacific
coast. Standard time is uniform inside each of these sections, and the time of each section differs from
that next to it by exactly one hour. Thus at 12 noon in New York City (eastern time), the time at
Chicago (central time) is 11 o'clock A. si. ; at Denver (mountain time), 10 o'clock a.m., and at San
Francisco (Pacific time), 9 o'clock a. m. Standard time is 16 minutes slower at Boston than true local
time, 4 minutes slower at New York, 8 minutes faster at Washington, 19 minutes faster at Charles-
ton, 28 minutes slower at Detroit, 18 minutes faster at Kansas City, 10 minutes slower at Chicago, 1
minute faster at SL Louis, 28 minutes faster at Salt Lake City, and 10 minutes faster at San Francisco.

The above table applies to ordinary years only. For leap year, one day must be added to each
number of days after February 28.
Example. —To find the number of days between June 3, 1893, and February 16. 1894 : The &g~
ures opposite the third day in the first June column are 154; those opposite the sixteenth day in the
second February column are 412. Subtract the first from the second product— t. e. , 154 from 412, and
the i-esult is 258, tlie number of days between the two dates.

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 p. M. ; Second Dog Watch, 6 p. m. 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 "'Bells." although
sometimes there is but one Bell on the ship. —Whifxxke7\

' conjunction " ( c5 ) when they have the same Right Ascension,
when one is due north or sou^/i 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 Avhen one rises just as the
other is setting. ' ' Quadrature ' ' is half way between conjunction and opposition. By
* ' greatest elongation ' ' is meant the greatest apparent angular distance from the sun ; the
planet is then generallj^ most favorably situated for observation. Mercury can only be seen
with the naked eye at this time. When a planet is in its ' *■ ascending " ( Q ) or " descending' '
(y) node it is crossing the plane of the earth' s orbit. The term "Perihelion" means nearest,
and ' 'Aphelion ' ' farthest, from the sun. An ' ' occultation ' ' ' '
it by some other body, usually the moon.
I. —ECLIPSES.
In the year 1897 there will be two Eclipses, both of the Sun
I. An Annular Eclipse of the Sun February 1, visible as a small partial Eclipse in that portion of
the United States lying south of a line drawn from Cape St. Lucas (old California), through San
Antonio, Tex., Memphis, Tenn. , and Marietta, Ohio, to Provincetown near Cape Cod, in Massachu-
setts. The path of the Annular Eclipse lies chiefly in the Pacific Ocean ; it crosses the northern part of
South America (Columbia and Venezuela) from Cabita Bay near Cape Corrientes on the Pacific Coast
to the Island of Trinidad, where it terminates at Sunset at 5 h. 9 m. p. m. , New York mean time.

Dominion of Canada, Mexico, Central America, the West India Islands, and all that portion of South
America north of a line drawn from Poracas Peninsula (near town of Pisco), Peru, to Castillos Point
a little south of San Miguel in Uruguay. The path of the Annular Eclipse passes through the town of
Tepic, Mexico, a little north of Tampico, Mexico, Havana and Carderas, Cuba, San Juan, Porto
Rico, and Cape St. Boque, Brazil.

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 mouths of 29 and 30 days alternately ; but in every nineteen 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 1897 is 23° 27' 9. "42. 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 about 75, 000 miles more or less.
The eccentricity of the earth' s orbit is 0. 016771 ; Ave 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.
Lengthof the tropical year (from e»iuinox to equinox), 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, 46.07
seconds 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
mean distance, as given above ; therefore, when we look at the sun we see him, not where he
actually is, but where he was about 8 minutes and 18 seconds ago ; his true place is then always
in advance of his apparent place.

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 computed from
the formula : gjjj j^ _ siup
cos I
where A denotes the Azimuth, p the polar distance, and I the latitude of the place.
DATE OF GREATEST ELONGATION.
To find the time of greatest eastern or western elongation, let if 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
JTm = 11° X 00664846.
This quantity, i^ni, added to or subtracted from the time of transit given alx)ve, according
to the elongation required, will give the mean time of the greatest elongation at any place whose
north latitude is I.

To find the time of the star's transit add or substract, according to the sign, the numbers
in the second column of figures to the date of the transit of the pole star given above. Thus,
for a Andromedae February 1st. Lower Transit of Polar Star is 4 h. 33.4 m. a. M., to which add
10 h. 40 m. and we have 3 h. 13. 4 m. p. m. ; for December 1st, we find 7 h. 19.6 m. p m., etc.

The number of asteroids discovered up to present date is 423. A number of these small
planets have not been observed since tlieir discovery, and are practically lost. Consequently it
is now sometimes a matter of doubt, until the elements have been computed, Avhether 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 i-ate at which light is propagated through space, it would require more than four
years to reach the earth from this star. ' ' — Whitaker.
^i)t J^oon.
The 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 daj's, 12 hours, 44 minutes, 2.87 seconds; the eccentricity of its
orbit is 0. 0549, and its diameter is 2,162 miles. The Earth being taken as unitj^ the density is . 61 ;
ma.ss, 1-81; volume,l-50, and gravity, 1-6; that is to say, the Earth would weigh as much as 81 Moons,
is 50 times larger, and a pound of matter at the Moon's surface would, if transferred to the Earth,
weigh 6 pounds. -■"— '

In September, 1793, the convention decreed that the common era should be abolished in all civil
aflfaii-s, and that the new French era should begin on September 22, 1792, the day of the true
autumnal equinox, and that each succeeding year should begin at the midnight of the day on which
the true autumnal equinox falls. The year was divided into twelve mouths of thirty davs each. In
ordinary yeai-s there were five extra days, from the 17th to the 21st of our September, and at the end
of every fourth year was a sixth complementary day. This reckoning was first used on November
22, 1793, and was continued until December 31, 1805, when it was discontinued, and the Gregorian
calendar, used throughout the rest of Europe, was resumed. The following were the dates for the
year 1804, the last complete year of this style of reckoning :
The months were divided into three decades of ten days each, but to make up the 365 five were
added at the end of September; Primidi, dedicated to Virtue; Duodi, to Genius; Tridi, to Labor;
Quartidi, to Opinion, and Quintidi, to Revvards. To Leap Year, called Olympic, a sixth day, Septem-
ber 22 or 23, Sextidi, ' ' the day of the Revolution, ' ' was added.
The current French names of the months are: Janvier (January), F^vrier (February), Mai's
(March), Avril (April), Mai (May), Juiu (June), Juillet (July), AoGt (August), Septembre (Septem-
ber), Octobre (October), No vembre (November), Decembre (December).

There is no national holiday, not even the

appointed special holidays. In the second session

ing Labor Day a public holiday in the District of

certain days as holidays, for commercial 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 of Thanksgiving only
makes it a legal holiday in those States which
provide by law for it.

was that of the Church of Rome, and they are still observed generally or in some parts of England,
Scotland, and Ireland.

The Geological Strata.
®^!)t ^tolofiical 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
subdivided as follows: (o) Aqueous formations, stratified, rarely crystalline (sedimentary or
fossiliferous rocks; metamorphic or unfossiliferous). (h) Igneous formations, unstratitied,
crystalline (volcanic, as basalt; platonic, as granite).
The geological record is classified into five main divisions or periods : 1. The Archaean, life-
less and dawn of life. 2. The Palaeozoic (ancient life). 3. The Mesozoic (middle life). 4. The
Cenozoic (recent life). 5. Quaternary, the age in which man' s first appearance is indicated.

The above estimate was made by Ernest George Ravenstein, F. R. G. S, , the geographer and
statistician, and is for 1890.
An estimate of population of the earth, made by Drs. "Wagner and upan, editors of
"Bevolkerung der Erde" (Perthes, Gotha, 1891), is a.s 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 ; stepT)e,
13,901,000; desert, 4,180,000; polar region, 4,888,800.
The population of the earth at the death of the Emperor Augustus, estimated by Bodio, was
54,000,000. The population of Europe hardly exceeded 50,000,000 before the fifteenth
century. — Mulhall.
The area and cubic contents of the earth, according 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;
Pacific Ocean, 50,309,000; Indian Ocean, 17,084,(J00; Arctic Ocean, 4,781,000; Southern
Ocean, 30, 592, 000. The highest mountain is believed to be Deodhuuga, one of the Himalayas,
29, 002 feet.

The human family is subject to forty- five principal governments. As to their form they may
be classified as follows : Absolute monarchies, China, Madagascar, Morocco, Persia, Russia, Siam,
Turkey; Limited monarchies, Austria- Hungary, Belgium, British Empire, Denmark, Germany,
Greece, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Roumania, Servia, Sweden and Norway, Spain ;
Repuhlics, Argentine Republic, Bolivia, Brazil, Chili, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France,
Guatemala, Hawaii, Hayti, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Orange Free State, Paraguay, Peru,
Salvador, San Domingo, Switzerland, Transvaal, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela.
Besides these are the undefined desf)Otisms 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 pyeople on the earth
die before age 6, one half before age 16, and only about 1 person of each lOO-born lives to age
65. The deaths are calculated at 67 per minute,^ 97, 790 per day, and 35, 639, 835 per year ; the
births at 70 jxir minute, lOO, 80O per day, and 36, 792, 000 per year.

These estimates by Mulhall (1891) exhibit the superior growth of the English language in the last
ninety years. Another authority (see ' 'English Speaking Religious Communities ' ' ) estimates the
number using the English language iu 1895 at over 124,130,000. English is fast becoming the polite
tongue of Europe.

The weight of a cubic foot of distilled water at a temperature of 60o P., is 1,000 ounces Avoir-
dupois, very nearly, therefore the weight (in ounces. Avoirdupois) of a cubic foot of any of the sub-
stances in the above table, is found by multiplying tne specific gravities Dv 10, thus:— one cubic foot
of oak weighs 1,170 ounces; one cubic foot of marole 2,700 ounces, and so on.

OF THE WEATHER BUREAU, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE.
The 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 officials, 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:
No. 1.
White Flag.

length, always refers to temperature ; when placed above niunber 1, 2, or 3 it indicates Avarmer
weather ; when placed below number 1, 2, or 3 it indicates colder weather ; when not displayed,
the indications are that the temperature will remain stationary', 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, with black square in centre, indicates the approach of a sudden and decided fall in tem-
perature, and is usually ordered at least twenty- four hovu's in advance of the cold wave. When
number 5 is displayed, number 4 is always omitted.
A special storm flag, red Avith black square in centre (not shown above), is prescribed for
use in North and South Dakota, ISIinnesota (except at Lake stations) , Iowa, Nebraska, and Wyom-
ing, to indicate high Avinds, accompanied by snow, with temperature below freezing.
When displayed on poles, the signals should be arranged to read downward ; when displayed
from horizontal supports, a small streamer should be attached to indicate the point from which
the signals are to be read.

Great Lakes indicates that winds are expected which may prove dangerous to tows and smaller
classes of vessels, the red pennant indicating easterly and the white pennant westerly winds.
When displayed at stations on the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf coasts indicates that the local ob-
server has received information from the Central Office of a storm covering a limited area, danger-
ous only for vessels about to sail to certain points, and serves as a notification to shipmasters that
information will be given them upon application to the local observer. Only the red pennant is dis-
played on the coasts. No night information or hurricane signals are displayed.

Note.— The above table was prepared for The World ALMA>fAC by the Geographic Branch of the
United States Geological Survey. It should be stated in connection with this taole 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 withiuthe State or
Territory whose heights are not yet known with accuracy, and consequently cannot be given.
*Two or three peaks in the St. Elias region of Alaska are now known to be higher than St. Elias
itself, the highest being about 19,500 feet and called by some Mount Logan.
t Salmon River Mountains, known to be much higher, but elevation not definitely known.
i Recent surveys by independent observers demonstrate that the Grand Teton, in the T6ton range
just south of the Yellowstone National Park, measures 14, 150 feet, and is the highest point in Wyoming,

DOMESTIC RATES OF POSTAGE.
All mailable matter for transmission by the United States mails within the United States is
divided into four classes, under the following regnlations :
FIRST-CLASS MATTER.
This class includes letters, x>ostal cards, and anything sealed or otherwise closed against in-
si)ection, or anything containing writing not allowed as an accompaniment to printed matter
under class three.
Rates of letter postage to any part of the United States, two cents per onnce orjraction thereof.
Rates on local or drop letters at free delivery offices, two cents per ounce 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, 2 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 2 cents.
Double or * 'reply' ' postal cards must be folded before being mailed,
Rates on specially delivered letters, ten cents on each letter in addition to the 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 Jvlly prepaid,
but if prepaid one full rate and no more, they will be forwarded, and the amount of deficient
postage collected on delivery ; if wholly unpaid, or prepaid with less than one full rate and
deposited 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 uiK>n 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 envelope. There is no limit of weight for first- class matter.
Prepaid letters will be re forwarded from one post-office to another upon the written request of
the person addressed, Avithout 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 exclusively in print and regularly
issued at stated intervals as frequently as four times a year, from' a knoAvn 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 applies to all reports and tne like made by officers of societies
organized under the lodge system and having a membership of a thousand persons, and of the
bulletins and proceedings 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 fractional part thereof, prepaid by special
stamps. Publications 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 or postage will be denied that issue; and if there be repeated
instances of such irregularities, the publication will be excluded front?, the mails as second-class
matter.
Such "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
mail 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, one cent for each four
ounces or fraction thereof. It should be observed that the rate is one cent for each four ounces, not
72 Postal Information.
one cent for each paper contained in the same wrapijer. Second- class matter will be entitled to
special delivery when special delivery ten- cent stamps are affixed in addition to the regvdar
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 them, 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, engra-vings, circulars (in
print or by the hectograph, electric- pen, or similar process ) , and other matter wholly in print,
proof-sheets, corrected proof-sheets, and manuscript copy accompanying the same.
The rate on matter of this class is one cent for each tico ounces or fraction thereof.
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. Its wrapper must bear no -writ-
ing or printing except the name and address of the sender, and a return request.
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.
The name and address of the sender, preceded by the word ' 'from, ' ' may be -written upon
the package, and a simple manuscript dedication may apjiear in a book or other third-class
matter.
FOURTH-CLASS MATTER.
Fourth- class matter is all mailable matter not included in the three preceding classes which
Is so prepared for mailing as to be easily -\vithdra^vn from the wrapper and examined. It em-
braces merchandise and samples of every description, and coin or specie.
Kate of postage, one cent for each ounce or fraction thereof (except seeds, roots, bulbs, cuttings,
cions, and -plants, the rate on which is oiie cent for each two ounces or fraction thereof). 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 postage entitles fourth- class matter to si)ecial 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, pens, 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
ha\ing 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.
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 turi)entine), may be admitted to the
mails for transi)ortation -within the United States. When in glass bottles or vials, such bottles
or vials must ife strong enough to stand the shock of handling in the mails, and must be en-
closed in a metal, wooden or papier mache block or tube, not less than three- sixteenths of an
inch thick in the thinnest part, strong enough to support the weight of mails piled in bags and
resist rough handling ; and there must be provided, 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 lid or cover, so 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 enclosed in a tin cylinder, metal case or tube, 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, shomng 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 (quantitv) of the articles enclosed, maybe written on the Avrapper of fourth- class matter
-without additional postage charge. A request to the delivering postmaster may also be "written
asking him to return the package if not delivered.
REGISTRATION.
All kinds of -postal matter may be registered at the rate of eight cents for each package in addition
to the regular rates of postage, to be fully prepaid by stamps. Each package must bear the
name and address of the sender, and a receipt will be returned from the person to whom ad-
dressed. Mail matter can be registered at all jxjst- 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.
DOMESTIC MONEY ORDERS.
Domestic money orders are issued by money- order post-offices for any amount up to $100, at
the follovving rates :
For sums not exceeding $2. 50, 3 cents ; over $2. 50 to $5, 5 cents ; over $5 to $10, 8 cents ;
over $10 to $20, 10 cents ; over $20 to $30, 12 cents ; over $30 to $40, 15 cents ; over $40 to

JPostal Information. 73
STAMPED ENVELOPES.
Embossed stamped envelopes and newspapyer wrappers of several denominations, sizes, and
colors are kept on sale at post-oflaces, singly or in quantities, at a small advance on the postage
rate. Stamps cut from stamped envelopes are valueless ; but postmasters are authorized to give
good stamps for stamped envelopes or newspaper -wrappers that may be spoiled in directing, if
presented m 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 mails.
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 provide 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
si>eeches 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 Agricultvure, or by any Member of Congress, pro-
cured from that Department.
3. All periodicals sent to subscribers within the county where printed.
4. Letters and packages relating exclvisively to the business of the Government 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 omice 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.
SUGGESTIONS TO THE PUBLIC.
{From the Vnited States Official Postal- Guide. )
Mail all letters, etc. , as early as practicable, especially when sent in large numbers, as is
frequently the case with 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 eoom for doubt and no excuse for
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. , Keb. ; 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 several post-offices in difi'erent 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 propert>^ but exposes to temptation every one
through whose hands his letter passes, and may be the means of ultimately bringing some clerk
or letter- carrier to ruin.
See that every letter or package bears the fiill name and post-office address of the ^vriter, 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 corner of the address side of all
mail matter.
The street and number (or box number) should form a part of the address of all mail 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 nnmailable 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
short-paid or otherwise nnmailable is therefore liable to be lost to the senders.
It is unlawful to send an ordinary letter by express or otherwise outside of the mails unless
it be inclosed in a Government- stamped envelope. It is also unlawful to inclose a letter in an
express package unless it pertains wholly to the contents of the package.
It is forbidden by the regulations of the Post- Office Department for postmasters to give to any
person information concerning the mail matter of another, or to disclose the name of a box-
nolder at a ix)st- office.
Letters addressed to persons temporarily sojourning in a city where tlie Free Delivery System
is in operation should be marked ' ' Transient " or " General Deliverj-, ' ' if not addre'ssed to a
street and number or some other designated place of deliverj'.
Foreign books, etc , infringing United States copyright are unddiverable if received in foreign
mails, or mailed here.
The foregoing rates, rules, and suggestions apply to postal mazters in the United States.

Hates and conditions to countries not in the Universal Postal Union are now the same as those to Uni-
versal Postal Union countries,
GENERAL REGULATIONS RESPECTING FOREIGN MAILS.
Postage can be prepaid upon articles only by means of the postage stamps of the country in which
the articles are mailed. 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 (J^
ounce). Insufficiently prepaid correspondence of all kinds is chargeable with double the amount of
the deficient postage.
Matter to oe sent in the mails at less than letter rates must be so wrapped that it can be readily
examined at the office of deliverj', as well as the mailing office, without destroying the wrapper.
Newspapers and periodicals sent in the mails to foreign countries other than those or the Postal
Union should be wrapped singly. Those sent by publishers to regular subscribers in Canada and
Mexico are transmissible as in domestic mails, except that packages addressed to Mexico must not
exceed 4 pounds 6 ounces in weight.
The United States two-cent postal card should be used for card correspondence with foreign coun-
tries (except Canada and Mexico, to which countries the one-cent card is transmissible), but where
these cards cannot be obtained, it is allowable to use for this purpose the United States one-cent postal
card with a one-cent United States adhesive postage stamp attached thereto.

warded at the request of the addressee, from one post-otfice to another, or to any foreign country em-
braced in the Postal Union, without additional charge for postage.
All articles prohibited from domestic mails are also excluded from circulation in the mails to and
from foreign countries. Postal cards or letters addressed to go around the world will not be for-
warded, being prohibited.
The act of March 3, 1883, imposes a duty of 25 per cent ad valorem on all printed matter not
therein otherwise provided for, without regard to mode of importation. Under said act all printed
matter, except newspapers and periodicals, and except printed matter other than books imported in
the mails for personal use, is subject to the regular duty of 25 per cent ad valorem.

Metric System.
77
The Metric System has been adopted by Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Peru, etc., and except Hussia
and Great Britain, where it is permissive, by all European nations. Various names of the preceding
systems are, however, frequently used : In Germany, X^ kilogram = 1 pound ; in Switzerland, 3-10
of a metre = 1 foot, etc. If the first letters of the prefixes aeka, hecto, /cilo, myrla, from the Greek,
and deci,centi,mili, from the Latin, are used in preference to our plain English, 10, 100, etc. , it is best
to employ capital letters for the multiples and small letters for the subdivisions, to avoid ambiguities
in abbreviations : 1 dekametre or 10 metres = 1 Dm. ; 1 decimetre or 1-10 of a metre = 1 dm.
The Metre, unit of length, is nearly the ten-millionth part of a quadrant of a meridian, of the
distance between Equator and Pole. The International Standard Metre is, practically, nothing else
but a length defined by the distance between two lines on a platinum- iridium bar at 0° Centigrade,
deposited at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, Paris, France.
The Litre, unit of capacity, is derived from the weight of one kilogram pure water et greatest
density, a cube whose edge is one-tenth of a metre and, therefore, the one- thousandth part of a
metric ton.
The Gram, ixnit of weight, is a cube of pure water at greatest density, whose edge is one- hundredth
of a metre, and, therefore, tne one- thousandth partoi a kilogram, and the one- millionth part of a
metric ton.
One silver dollar weighs 25 grams, 1 dime =• 2^ grams, 1 five- cent nickel = 5 grams.
The Metric System was legalized in the United States on July 28, 1866, when Congress enacted as
follows :
' ' The tables in the schedule hereto annexed shall be recognized in the construction of contracts,
and in all legal proceedings, as establishing, in terms of the weights and measures now in use in the
United States, the equivalents of the weights and measures expressed therein in terms of the metric
system, and the tables may lawfully be used for computing, determining, and expressing in custom-
ary weights and measures the weights and measures of the metric system. ' '

THE METRIC SYSTEM SIMPLIFIED.
The following tables of the metric system of weights and measures have been simplified as much
as possible for The World Almanac by Mr. John Wilkes, of Nashville, Tenn. , by omitting such
denominations as are not in practical, everyday use in the countries where the system is used
exclusively.
TABLES OF THE SYSTEM.
liCnffth.— The denominations in practical use are millimetres (mm. ), centimetres (cm. ), metres
(m. ), and kilometres (km. ).
iO mm. = 1 cm, ; 100 cm. = 1 m. ; 1, 000 m. = 1 km. Note. —A decimetre is 10 cm.
Weiffht.— The denominations in use are grams (g. ), kilos* (kg. ), and tons (metric tons).
l.OOag. = 1 kg. ; 1,000 kg. = 1 metric ton.
Capacity.— The denominations in use are cubic centimetres (c. c. ) and litres (1).
1, 000 c. c. = 1 1. Note. —A hectolitre is 100 1. (seldom used).
Belation 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
\i inch ; a metric ton Is about same as a ton ; a kilometre is about \^ mile j a cubic centimetre is about a
thimbleful ; a nickel weighs about 5 grams.

Salt. — Weight per bushel as adopted by different States ranges from 60 to SO pounds. Coarse salt
in Pennsylvania is reckoned at 80 pounds, and in Illinois at 60 pounds per bushel. Fine salt in Penn-
sylvania is reckoned at 62 pounds, in Kentucky and Illinois at 55 pounds per bushel.

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:
10 lbs. of water = 277. 123 cubic inches.

Note. —France, Belgium, Greece, Italy, and Switzerland constitute what is known as the ' 'Latin' '
Union, and their coins are alike in weight and fineness, occasionally dilTeriug, however, in name.
The same system has been in part adopted by Spain, Servia, Bulgaria, Russia^ and Roumania, but they
have not joined the Union. Francs and centimes of France, Belgium and Switzerland are respectively
designated lire and centissimi in Italy; drachma! and lepta in Greece; dinars and paras in Servia;
peseta and centimos in Spain ; leys and banis in Roumania; leya and stotinkis in Bulgaria. Similarly
the Scandinavian countries, Norsvay and Sweden and Denmark, employ coins of the same weight and
fineness, their names being also alike. Most of the South American States possess a standard coin,
equal in weight and fineness to the silver 6- franc piece generally termed a ' ' peso. " — Whitaker.

Natfonal partg platforms of 1896*
PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY. ADOPTED AT INDIAN-
APOLIS, IND., SEPTEMBER 3, 1896.
This Convention has assembled to uphold the principles upon which depend the honor and wel-
fare of the American people, in order that Democrats throughout the Union may unite their patriotic
efforts to avert disaster from their country and ruin from their party.
Standard Democratic Principles.— The Democratic party is pledged to equal and exact
justice to all men of every creed and condition ; to the largest freedom of the individual consistent
with good government; to the preservation of the Federal Government in its constitutional vigor, and
to the support of the States m all their just rights; to economy in the public expenditures ; to the
maintenance of the public faith and sound money; and it is opposed to paternalism and all class
legislation.
The Chicago Convention Arraigned.— The declarations of the Chicago Convention attack
individual freedom, the right of private contract, the independence of the judiciary, and the
authority of the President to enforce Federal laws. They advocate a reckless attempt to increase the
price of silver by legislation to the debasement of our monetary standard, and threaten unlimited
issues of paper money by the Government. They abandon for Kepublican allies the Democratic
cause of taritf reform to court the favor of protectionists to their fiscal heresy.
In view of these and other grave departures from Democratic principles we cannot support the
candidates of that Convention nor be bound by its acts. The Democratic party has survived many
defeats, but could not survive a victory won in behalf of the doctrine and policy it proclaimed in its
name at Chicago.
The Republican Party Responsible.— The conditions, however, which make possible such
utterances from a National Convention are the direct result of class legislation by the Republican
party. It still proclaims, as it has for years, the power and duty of government to raise and main-
tain prices by law, and it proposes no remedy for existing evils except oppressive and unjust tax-
ation.
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 purposes 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 consuHiption. 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
good government. We arraign and condemn the Populistic Conventions of Chicago and St. Louis for
their co-operation with the Republicanparty 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.
Protection and Its Ally.— "We therefore denounce protection and its ally, free coinage of
silver, as schemes for the personal profit of a few at the expense of the masses, and oppose the two
parties which stand for these schemes as hostile to the people of the Republic, whose food and shelter,
comfort and prosperity, are attacked by higher taxes and depreciated money ; in fine, we reaffirm the
historic Democratic doctrine of tariff for revenue only,
American Shipping-.— "We demand that henceforth modern and liberal policies toward Amer-
ican shipping shall take the place of our imitation of the restricted statutes of the Eighteenth Century,
which have been abandoned by every maritime power but the United States, and which, to the
nation's humiliation, have driven American capital and enterprise to the use of alien flags and alien
crews, have made the Stars and Stripes an almost unknown emblem in foreign ports, and have
virtually extinguished the race of American seamen.
We oppose the pretence that discriminating duties will promote shipping; that scheme is an
invitation to commercial warfare upon the United States, un-American in the light of our great com-
mercial treaties, offering no gain whatever to American shipping, while greatly increasing ocean
freights on our agricultural and manufactured products.
The Currency.— The experience of mankind hao 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 itslimited 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 money known to man, but are
the peculiar and most defenceless victims of a debased and fluctuating icurrency, which offers 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 Standard.— 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. V^ e assert the necessity of such Intelligent currency reform as will confine the
Govemmenftoits legitimate functions, completely separated from the banking business, and afford
to all Kectionsof ourcountry a uniform safe, and elastic bank currency under go vermental super-
vision, measured in volume by the needs of business.
The Cleveland Democratic Administration.— The fidelity, patriotism, and courage with
which President Cleveland has fulfilled his great public trust, the high character of his Administra-
tion, its wisdom and energy in the maintenance of civil order and the enforcement of the laws, its
equal regard for the rights of every cla,':s and every section, its firm and dignified conduct of foreign
affairs, and its sturdy persistence in upholding the credit and honor of the nation, are fully recognized
by the Democratic party, and will secure to him a place in history beside the fathers of the Kepublic.
Civil Service Reform.— "We also commend the Administration for the great progress made in
the reform of the public service, and we endorse its effort to extend the merit system still further.
AVe demand that no backward step betaken, but that the reform be supported and advanced until
the un- democratic spoils system, of appointments shall be eradicated.
Economy in Public Expenditures.— We demand strict economy in the appropriations and in
the administration of the Government.
Arbitration of International Disputes.— We favor arbitration for the 'settlement of inter-
national disputes.
Pensions.— We favor a liberal policy of pensions to deserving soldiers and sailors of the United
States.
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 laud 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 Maintenance of Public Order.— The Democratic party ever has maintained, 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.
Believing these principles to be essential to the well-being of the Bepublic, we submit them to the
consideration of the American people.
PLATFORM OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY (FREE SILVER). ADOPTED AT
CHICAGO, JULY 9, 1896.
We, the Democrats of the United States in National Convention assembled, do reaffirm our allegi-
ance to those great essential principles of justice and liberty, upon which our Institutions are founded,
and which the Democratic party has advocated from Jefl'erson's time to our own— freedom of speech,
freedom of the press, freedom of conscience, the preservation of personal rights, the equality of all
citizens before the law, and the faithful observance of constitutional limitations.
Durins: all these years the Democratic party has resisted the tendency of selfish interests to the
centralizationof governmental power and steadfastly maintained the integrity of the dual scheme of
government established by the founders of this Bepublic of republics. Under its guidance and teach-
ings the great principle of local self-government has found its best expression in the maintenance of
the rights of the States and in its assertion oi the necessity of confining the General Government to the
exercise of powers granted by the Cons', itution of the United States.
The Constitution of the United States guarantees to every citizen the rights of civil aud religious
liberty. The Democratic partj^ has always been the exponent of political liberty and religious Iree-
dom, and it renews its obligations and reaffirms its devotion to these fundamental principles of the
Constitution.
The Money Question.— Becognizing that the money question is paramount to all others at this
time, we invite attention to the fact that 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 aud admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio based
npon 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 andpi'ivate; the enrichment of the money-lending
class at home and abroad ; the prostration oi industry and impoverishment of the people.
Opposed to Gold Monometallism— Weare unalterably opposed to monometallism which has
locked last the prosperity of an industrial peop.e iu the paralysis ot hard times. Gold monometallism
is a British"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 in the War of the Bevolution.
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 equalb' 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.
The Bond Issues.— We are opposed to the issuing of interest-bearing bonds of the United States
In time of peace and condemn the trafficking with banking syndicates which in exchange for bonds
National JParty Platforms of 1896. 91
and at an enormous profit to themselves, supply the Federal Treasury with gold to maintain the pol-
icy of gold monometallism.
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 oy 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 tliroughout the country and not discriminate between class or
section, and that taxation should be limited by the needs of the Government, honestly and economi-
cally administered. We denounce as disturbing to business the Republican threat to restore the Mc-
Kinley law, which has twice been condemned bv 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 Criticized.— 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
taxationmay be equally and impartially laid, to the end that wealth may bear its due proportion of
the expenses of the Government.
Reg-ulation of Inimigration.- We hold that the most efficient way of protecting American
labor is to prevent the importation of foreign pauper labor to compete with it in the home market, and
that the value of the home market to our American farmers and artisans is greatly reduced by a
vicious monetary system which depresses the prices of their products below the cost of production,
and thus deprives them of the means of purchasing the products of our home manufactories; and as
labor creates the wealth of the country, we demand the passage of such laws as may be necessary to
protect it in all its rights.
Arbitration in Ilail\%'ay liabor Disputes.— We are in favor of the arbitration of differ-
ences between employers engaged in interstate commei'ce and their employees, and recommend such
legislation as is necessary to carry out this principle.
Trusts and Pools.— The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of our
leading railroad systems, and the formation of trusts and pools require a stricter control by the
Federal Government of tnose arteries of commerce. We demand the enlargement of the powers of
the Inter-State Commerce Commission and such restrictions and guarantees in the control of railroads
as wUl protect the people from robbery and oppression.
Economy in Public Expenditures.— We denounce the profligate waste of the money wrung
from the people by opp.esaive taxation and the lavish appropriations of recent Kepublican Con-
gresses, which have kept taxes high, while t he labor that pays them is unemployed and the products
of the people's toil are depressed in price till they no longer repay the cost of production. We de-
mand a return to that simplicity and economy which befit a democratic Government and a reduc-
tion in the nimiber of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the substance of the people.
Federal InterTention in Local Affairs.— We denounce arbitrary Interference by Federal
authorities in local affairs a.s 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 tiie States and rights of
citizens, becomeatonce 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 ot Kepresentatives, relative to
contempts in Federal Courts and providing for trials by j ury in certain cases of contempt.
The Pacific Railroad.— No discrimination should be indulged by the Government of the
United States in favor of any of its debtors. We approve of the refusal of the Firty- third Congress to
pass the Pacific Railroad Funding Bill, and denounce the efforts of the present Republican Congress
to enact a simUar measure.
Soldiers Pensions.— Recognizing the just claims of deserving Union soldiers, we heartily
indorse the rule of the present Commissioner of Pensions that no names shall be arbitrarily dropped
from the pension roll; and the fact of enlistment and service should be deemed conclusive evidence
against disease and disability before enlistment.
Admission of Territories. —We favor the admission of the Territories of New Mexico,
Oklahoma, and Arizona into the Union as States, and we favor the early admission of all the Terri-
tories having the necessary population and resources to entitle them to Statehood, and, while they
remain Territories, we hold that the officials appointed to administer the government of any Territory,
together with the District of Columbia and Alaska, should be bona fide residents of the Territory or
District in which the duties are to be performed. The Democratic party believes in home rule and
that all public lands of the United States should be appropriated to the establishment of free homes
for American citizens.
We recommend that the Territory of Alaska be granted a delegate in Congress, and that the
general land and timber laws of the United States be extended to said Territory.
The Monroe Doctrine.— The Monroe doctrine, as originally declared and as interpreted by
succeeding Presidents, is a permanent part of the foreign policy of the United States, and must at all
times be maintained.
Syinpathy for Cuba.— We extend our sympathy to the people of Cuba in their heroic struggle
for liberty and independence.
Rotation in Office.— We are opposed to life tenure in the public service. We favor appoint-
ments based upon merit, fixed terms of office, and such an administration of the civil service laws as
will afford equal opportunities to all citizens of ascertained fitness.
92 National Party Platforms of 1896.
Presidential Third Term.— We declare it to be the unwritten law of this Republic, established
by custom and usage of 100 years and sanctioned by the examples of the greatest and wisest of those
who founded and have maintained our Government, that no man should be eligible for a third term
of the Presidential office.
Improvement of Waterways.— The Federal Government should care for and improve the
Mississippi River and other great waterways of the Republic, so as to secure for the interior States
easy and cheap transportation to tide water. When any waterway of the Republic is of sufficient im-
portance to demand aid of the Government, such aid should be extended upon a definite plan of con-
tinuous work until permanent improvement is secured.
Confiding in the justice of our cause and the necessity of iis success at the poUs, we submit the
foregoing declarations of principles and purposes to the considerate judgmentof the American people.
We invite the support of all citizens who approve them and who desire to have them made effective
through legislation for the relief of the people and the restoration of the country' s prosperity.
PLATFORM OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. ADOPTED AT ST. LOUIS, MO.,
JUNE 18, 1896.
The Republicans of the United States, assembled by their representatives in National Convention,
appealing for the popular and historical justification oi their claims to the matchless achievements of
thirtv years of Republican rule, earnestly and confidentially address themselves to the awakened
intelligence, experience, and conscience of their countrymen in the following declaration of facts
and principles:
Tlie Democratic Admiuistration.— For the first time since the Civil War the American
people have witnessed the calamitous consequences of full and unrestricted Democratic control of the
(iovernment. It has been a record of unparalleled incapacity, dishonor, and disaster. In adminis-
trative management it has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit,
eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by $262,000,000
in time of peace, forced an adverse balance of trade, kept a perpetual menace hanging over the redemp-
tion fund, pawned American credit to alien syndicates, and reversed all the measures and results of
successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of its policy it has precipitated panic, blighted in-
dustry and trade with prolonged depression, closed factories, reduced work aud wages, halted
enterprise.and crippled American production while stimulating foreign production for the American
market Every consideration of public safety and individual interest demands that the Government
shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves incapable to conduct it without
disaster at home and dishonor abroad, and shall be restored to the party which for thirty years ad-
ministered it with unequaled success and prosperity. And in this connection we heartily indorse the
wisdom, patriotism, and the success of the Administration of President Harison.
Tbe 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.
Thistrue 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 dilTuses g'eneral
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 tariflFas sectional, injurious to the public credit, and destruct-
ive to business enterprise. We demand such an equitable tariif on foreign imports which come into
competition v.'ith American products as wiU. 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 pcotection and development of American labor and industry. The country
demands a right settlement, and then it wants rest.
Reciprocity and Protection.— We believe the repeal of the reciprocity arrangements ne-
gotiated by the last Republican Administration was a I><ational calamity, and we demand their
renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with other nations, remove the
restrictions which now obstruct the sale of American products in the ports of other countries, and
secure enlarged markets for the products of our farms, forests, and factories.
Protection and reciproc/ty are twin measures of Republican policy, and go hand in hand. Demo-
cratic rule has recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what
we produce ; free admission for the necessaries of life which we do not produce ; reciprocal agreements
of mutual interests which gain open markets for us in return for our open market to others, Protectiou
builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves; reciprocity buUds up
foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus.
Protection for Sugar Growers.— We condemn the present Administration for not keeping
faith with the sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favors such protection as will
lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar which the American people use, and for which
they pay other countries more than $100, 000, 000 annually.
Wool and Woolens.— To all our products— to those of the mine and the field as well as those of
the shop and the factory— to hemp, to wool, the product of the great industry of sheep husbandry, as
well as to the finished woolens of the mills, we promise the most ample protection.
Tlie Merchant Marine.— We favor restoring the early American policy of discriminating
duties for the upbuilding of our merchant marine and the protection of our shipi)ing in the foreign
carrvlng trade, so that American ships— the product of American labor employed in American ship-
yaras, sailing under the stars and stripes, and manned, officered, and owned by Americans— may regam
the carrying of our foreign commerce.
The Currency Question. —The Republican party is unreservedly for sound money. It caused
theenactmautof the law providing for the resumption of specie payments in 1879: smce then every
doUar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase
ourcurrency 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
National Party Platforms of 1896. 93
we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained the existing gold standard
must be preserved. All our silver and paper curiency 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.
Liberal Pensions for Soldiers.— The veterans of the Union armies deserve and should receive
fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the preference
in the matter of employment, and they are entitled to the enactment of such laws as are best calcu-
lated to secure the fulfillment of the pledges made to them in the dark days of the country' s peril
We denounce the practice in the Pension Bureau, so recklessly and unjustly carried on by the present
Administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls, as deserving the
severest condemnation of the American people.
Foreign Relations.— Ourforeign policy should be at all times firm, vigorous, and dignified,
and all our interests in the Western Hemisphere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian
Islands should be controlled by the United States, and no foreign power should be permitted to inter-
fere with them; the Nicaraguan Canal should be built, owned, and operated by the United States, and
by the purchase of the Danish Islands we would secure a proper and much- needed naval station in the
West Indies.
The Armenian Massacres.— The massacres in Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and
just indignation of the American people, and we believe that the United States should exercise all the
influence it can properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American residents
have been exposed to the gravest dangers and American property destroyed. There and everj'Avhere
American citizens and American property must be absolutely protected at all hazards and at any
cost.
The Monroe Doctrine.— We reassert the Monroe Doctrine in its full extent, and we reafErm
the right of the United States to give the doctrine eiiect by responding to the appeal of any American
States for friendly intervention in case of European encroachment. We have not interfered, and
shall not interfere, with the existing possessions of any European power in this hemisphere, but these
possessions must not, on any pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual with-
drawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, and to the ultimate union of ail of tlie English-
speaking part of the continent by the free consent of its inhabitants.
Sympathy for Cuba.— From the hour of achieving their own independence the people of the
United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free them-
selves from European domination. We watch with deep and abiding interest the heroic battle of the
Cuban patriots against cruelty and oppression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their
determined contest for liberty.
The Government of Spain, having lost control of Cuba, and being unable to protect the property or
lives of resident American citizens, or to comply wi^h its treaty obligations, we believe that the Gov-
ernment of the United States should actively use its influence and good oflaces to restore peace and
give independence to the island.
Enlargement of Ithe Navy.— The peace and security of the Hepublic and the maintenance of
its rightiUl iutiueuce among the nations of the earth demand a naval power commensurate with its
position and responsibility. We therefore favor the continued enlai^ement of the navy and a com-
plete system of harbor and seacoast defenses,
X<'oreign Imnsigration. —For the protection of the quality of our American citizenship, and of
the wages of our workingmen against the fatal competition of low-priced labor, we demand that the
immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so extended as to exclude from entrance to the United
States those who can neither read or write,
Civil Service Reform.— The civil service law was placed on the statute book by the Republican
party, which has always sustained it, and we renew our repeated declarations that it shall be thor-
oughly and honestly enforced and extended wherever practicable.
Free and Unrestricted Ballot.— We demand that every citizen of the United States shall be
allowed to cast one free and unrestricted ballot, and that such ballot shall be counted and returned as
cast
Lynehings.— We proclaim our unqualified condemnation of the uncivilized and barbarous prac-
tice, well known as lynching or killing of human beings, suspected or charged with crime, without
process of law.
Labor Arbitration.— We favor the creation of a National Board of Arbitration to settle and
adjust differences which may arise between employers and employed engaged in interstate com-
merce.
Free Homesteads.— We believe in an immediate return to the free-bomestead policy of the
Republican party, and urge the passage by Congress of a satisfactory free- homestead measure such
as has already passed the House and is now pending in the Senate. j
Admission of Territories.— We favor the adihissionof the remaining Territories at the earliest
practicable date, having due regard to the interests of the people of the Territories and of the United
States. All the Federal officers appointed for the Territories should be selected from bona fide resi-
dents thereof, and the right of self-government should be accorded as far as practicabla
Alaska in Congress.— We believe the citizens of Alaska should have representation in the
Congress of the United States, to the end that needful legislation may be intelligently enacted.
The Liquor Traffic.— We sympathize with all wise and legitimate efforts to lessen and prevent
the evils of intemperance and promote morality,
Woman's Rights.- The Republican party is mindful of the rights and interests of women.
Protection of American industries includes equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work, and pro-
tection to the home. We favor the admission of women to wider spheres of usefulness, and welcome
their co-operation in rescuing the country from Democratic and Populistic mismanagement and mis-
rule.
Such are the principles and policies of the Republican party. By these principles we will abide,
and these policies we will put into execution. We ask for them the considerate judgment of the
American people. Confident alike in the history of our great party and in the justice of our cause, we
present our platform and our canditatesin the full assurance that the election will bring victory to the
Republican party and prosperity to the people of the United States.
94 National Party Platforms of 1896.
PLATFORM OF THE PEOPLE'S PARTY. ADOPTED AT ST. LOUiS, MO.,
JULY 24, 1896.
The People' SPal"ty, assembled in National Convention, reaffirms its allegiance to the principles
declared by the founders of tiie Republic, and also to the fundamental principles of just governnaent
as enunciated in the platform of the party in 1892.
We recognize that through the connivance of the present and preceding Administrations, the
country has reached a crisis in its National life, as predicted in our declaration four years ago, and
that prompt and patriotic action is the supreme duty of the hour.
We realize that, while we have political independence, our financial and industrial independence
is yet to be attained by i-estoring to our country the Constitutional control and exercise of the func-
tio'us necessary to a people's government, which functions have been basely surrendered by our pub-
lic servants to corporate monopolies. The influence of European moneychangers has been more po-
tent in sbaping legislation than the voice of the American people. Executive power and patronage
have been used to corrupt our legislatures and defeat the will of the people, and plutocracy has there-
b;'' been enthroned upon the ruins of democracy. To restore the Government intended by the fathers,
and for the welfare and prosperity of this and future generations, we demand tlie establishment of an
economic and financial system which shall make us masters of our own affairs and independent of
European control, by the adoption of the following declaration of principles :
Tbe Finances.— 1. We demand a National money, safe and sound, issued by the General Gov-
ernmeutonly, 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 disbursements 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 lawiul 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 Suprerhe 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.
8. We demand that postal savings banks be established by the Government for the safe deposit of
the savings of the people and to facilitate exchange.
Railroads and Telegraphs.— 1. Transportation being a means of exchange and a public
necessity, the Government should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people and on
a non-partisan basis, to the end that all may be accorded the same treatment in transportation, and
that the tyranny and political power now exercised by the great railroad corporations, which result
in the impairment, if not the destruction of the political rights and personal liberties of the citizen,
may be destroyed. Such ownership is to be accomplished gradually, in a manner consistent with
sound public policy.
2. The interest of the United States in the public highways built with public moneys, and the
proceeds of grants of land to the Pacific railroads, should never be alienated, mortgaged, or sold, but
guarded and protected for the general welfare, as provided by the laws organizing such railroads.
The foreclosure of existing liens of the United States on these roads should at once follow default in
the payment thereof by the debtor companies; and at the foreclosure sales of said roads the Govern-
ment shall purchase the same, if it becomes necessary to protect its interests therein, or if they can
be purchased at a reasonable price; and the Government shall operate said railroads as public high-
ways for the benefit of the whole people, and not in the inierest of the few, under suitable provisions
for protection of life and property, giving to all transportation interests equal privileges and equal
rates for fares and freights.
3. We denounce the present infamous schemes for refunding these debts, and demand that the
laws now applicable thereto be executed and administered according to their intent and spirit.
4. The telegraph, like the Post Office system, being a necessity for the transmission of news,
should be owned and operated by the Government in the interest of the people.
The Public Lands.— 1. True policy demands that the National and State legislation shall be
such as will ultimately enable every prudent and industrious citizen to secure a home, and therefore
the land should not be monopolized for speculative puri^oses. All lands now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess of their actual needs shuuld by lawful means be reclaimed by tbe Gov-
ernment and held for actual settlers only, and pi-ivate land monopoly, as well as alien ownership,
should be prohibited.
2. We condemn the land grant frauds by which the Pacific railroad companies have, through
the connivance of the Interior Department, robbed multitudes of bona Jide settlers of their
homes and miners of their claims, and we demand legislation by Congress which will enforce the ex-
ception of mineral land from such grants after as well as before the patent.
3. We demand that lonaflde settlers on ail public lands be granted free homes, as provided in the
National Homestead Law, and that no exception be made in the case of Indian reservations when
opened for settlement, and that all lands not now patented come under this demand.
The Referendum. —We favor a system of direct legislation through the initiative and refer-
endum, under proper Constitutional safeguards.
Direct Election of President and Senators by the People.— We demand the election
of President, Vice-President, and United States Senators by a direct vote of the people.
Sympathy for Cuba.— We tender to the patriotic people of Cuba our deepest sympathy in
their heroic struggle for political freedom and independence, and we believe the time has come when
the United States, the great Republic of the world, should recognize that Cuba is, and of right ought
to be, a free and independent state.
National Party Platforms of 1896. 95
The Territories.— We favor home rule in the Territories and the District of Columbia, and the
early admission of the Territories as States.
Public Salaries.— All public salaries should be made to correspond to the price of labor and its
products.
Employment to be Fiirnisbed by Government.— In times of great industrial depression
idle labor should be employed on public works as far as practicable.
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.
Pensions.— We favor just pensions for our disabled Union soldiers.
A Fair Ballot.— Believing that the elective franchise and untrammelled ballot are essential to a
government of, for, and by the people, the People's party condemn the wholesale system of disfran-
chisement adopted in some States as unrepublican and undemocratic, and we declare it to be the duty
of the several State Legislatures to take such action as will secure a full, free and fair ballot and an
honest count. ,
The Financial Question **the Pressing l8sue."—While the foregoing propositions consti-
tute the platform upon which our party stands, and for the vindication of which its organization will
be maintained, we recognize that the great and pressing issue of the pending campaign, upon which
the present election will turn, is the financial question, and upon this great and specific issue between
the parties we cordially invite the aid and co-operation of all organizations and citizens agreeing with
us upon this vital, question.
PLATFORiVI OF THE PROHIBITION PARTY. ADOPTED AT PITTSBURGH, PA.,
MAY 28, 1896.
W^e the members of the Prohibition party, in National Convention assembled, renewing our
acknowledgment of allegiance to Almighty God as the rightful Ruler of the Universe, lay down the
following as our declaration of political purpose,
PLATFORM.
The Prohibition party, in National Convention assembled, declares its conviction that the manu-
facture, exportation, importation and sale of alcholic beverages has produced such social, commer-
mercial, industrial, and political wrongs, and is now so threatening the perpetuity of all our social and
political institutions that the suppression of the same by a National party, organized therefor, is the
greatest object to be accomplished by the voters of our country, and is of such importance as that it,
of right, ought to control the political action of all our patriotic citizens until such suppression is
accomplished.
The urgency of this cause demands the union without further delay of all citizens who desire the
prohibition of the liquor traffic; therefore,
Resolved, That we favor the legal prohibition by State and National legislation of the manufacture,
importation, exportation, and interstate transportation and sale of alcoholic beverages; that we
declare our purpose to organize and unite all the friends of prohibition into one party, and in order to
accomplish this end we deem it but right to leave every Prohibitionist the freedom of his own convic-
tions upon all other political questions, and trust our representatives to take such action upon other
political questions as the change occasioned by prohibition and the welfare of the whole people shall
demand.
PLATFORM OF THE SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY. ADOPTED AT NEW YORK,
JULY 9, 1896.
The Socialist Labor party of the United States, in Convention assembled, re-asserts the inaliena-
ble right of all men to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
With the founders of the American Republic, we hold that the purpose of government is to
secure every citizen in the enjoyment of this right; but in the light of our social conditions, we hold
furthermore, that no such right can be exercised under a system of economic inequality, essentially
destructive of life, of liberty, and of happiness.
With the founders or this Republic we hold that the true theory of politics is that the machinery
of government must be owned and controlled by the whole people; but in the light of our Industrial
development we hold, furthermore, that the true theory of economics is that the machinery of pro-
duction must likewise belong to the people in common.
To the obvious fact that our despotic system of economics is the direct opposite of our democratic
system of politics, can plainly be traced the existence of a privileged class, the corruption of govern-
ment by that class, the alieniation of public property, public franchises and public functions to that
class, and the abject dependence of the mightiest nations upon that class.
Again, through the perversion of democracy to the ends of plutocracy, labor is robbed of the
wealth which it alone produces, is denied the meahs of self- employment, and, by compulsory idleness
in wage slavery, is even deprived of the necessaries of life.
Human power and natural forces are thus wasted, that the plutocracy may rule.
Ignorance and m.isery, with all their concomita-nt evils, are perpetuated, that the people may be
kept in bondage.
Science and invention are diverted from their humane purpose to the enslavement of women and
children.
Against such a system the Socialist Labor Party once more enters its protest. Once more it re-
iterates its fundamental declaration tha.t private property in the natural sources of production and in
the instruments of labor is the obvious cause of all economic servitude and political dependence.
The time is fast coming, when, in the natural course of social evolution, this system, through the
destructive action of its failures and crises on the one hand, and the constructive tendencies of its
trusts and other capitalistic combinations on the other hand , shall have worked out its own downfall.
We, therefore, call upon the wage workers of the United States, and upon all other honest citi-
zens, to organize under the banner of the Socialist Labor Party into a class- conscious body, aware of
its rights and determined to conquer them by taking possession of the public powers; so that, held
together by an Indomitable spirit of .solidarity under the most trjing conditions of the present class
struggle, we may put a summary end to that barbarous struggle by the abolition of classes, the res-
96 National Party Platforms of 1896.
toration of the land and of all the means of production, transportation and distribution to the people
as a collective body, and the substitmion of the Co-operative Common weaith lor the present state of
planless production, industrial war. and social disorder; a commonwealth in which every worker
shall have the free exercise and full benefit of his faculties, multiplied by all the modern factors of
civilization.
EESOLUTIONS.
With a view to immediate improvement in the condition of labor we present the followiug
deniands:

3. The municipalities to obtain possession of the local railroads, ferries, water works, gas works,
electric plants, and all industries requiring municipal franchises; the employees to operate the same
co-operatively under control of the municipal administration and to elect their own superior officers,
but no employee shall be discharged for political reasons.

PLATFORM OF THE SILVER PARTY. ADOPTED AT ST. LOUIS, MO.,
JULY 23, 1896.
First, the paramount issue at this time in the United States is indisputably the money question .
It is between the British gold standard, gold bonds, and bank currency, on the one side, and the bi-
metallic standard, no bonds, government currency (and an American policy), on the other.
Reinstatement of SSilver.— On this issue we declare ourselves to be in favor of a distinctively
American financial system. We are unalterably opposed to the singlei gold- standard, and de-
mand the immediate return to the Constitutional standard of gold and silver, by the restoration by
this Government, independently of any foreign power, of the unrestricted coinage of both gold and
silver into standard money at the ratio of 16 to 1 and upon terms of exact equality, as they existed
prior to 1873; the silver coin to be of full legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts and dues, pub-
lic and private, and we demand such legislation as will prevent for the future the destructiou of the
legal tender quality of any kind of money by private contract.
We hold that the power to control and regulate a paper currency is inseparable from the power to
coin money, and hence that all currency intended to circulate as money should be issued and its vol-
ume controlled by the General Government only, and should be a legal tender.
Opposed to Bond Issues. —We are unalterably opposed to the issue bythe United States of
interest- bearing bonds in time of peace, and we denounce as a blunder, worse than a crime, the pres-
ent Treasurv policy, concurred in by a Republican House, of plunging the country into debt by hun-
dreds of millions in the vain attempt to maintain the gold standard by borrowing gold; and we de-
mand the payment of all coin obligations of the United States, as provided by existing laws, in either
go'.d or silver coin, at the option of the Government and not at the option of the creditor.
No Over Production.— The advocates of the gold standard persistently claim that the real
cause of our distress is over production— that we have produced so much that it made us poor— which
implies that the true remedy is to close the factory, abandon the farm and throw a multitude of people
out of employment; a doctrine that leaves us unnerved and disheartened and absolutelj' withouthope
for the future. We affirm to be unquestioned that there can be no such economic paradox as over
production and at the same time tens of thousands of our fellow citizens remaining half clothed and
half fed and who are piteously clamoring for the common necessities of life.
Bimetallism.— Over and above all other questions of policy we are in favor of restoring to the
people of the United States the time-honored money of the Constitutior.— gold and silver, not one, but
both— the money of Washington and Hamilton, and Jefferson and Monroe, and Jackson and Lincoln,
to the end that the American people may receive honest pay for an honest product; that the American

debtor may pay his just obligations in an honest standard, and not in a dishonest and uasound stand-
ard, appreciated one hundred per cent in purchasing power and no appreciation in debt-paying
power, and to the end, further, that silver standard countries may be deprived of the unjust advantage
1 hey now enjoy in the difference in exchange between gold and silver— an advantage which tariff legis-
lation cannot overcome.
Bryan and Sewa!!.— Inasmuch as the patriotic majority of the Chicago Convention embodied
in the financial plank of its platform the principles enunciated in the platform of the American bi-
metallic party, promulgated at Washington, D. C. , January 22, 1896, and herein reiterated, which is
not only the paramount but the only real issue in the pending campaign, therefore, recognizing that

PLATFORM OF THE NATIONAL PARTY, ADOPTED AT PITTSBURGH, PA.,
MAY 29, 1896.*
The National party, recognizing God as the author of all just power in government, presents the
following declaration of principles, which it pledges itself to enact into effective legislation when
given the power to do so.
1. Prohibition. —The suppression of the manufacture and sale, importation, exportation, and
transportation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes. We utterly reject all plans for regulating
or compromising with this traffic, whether such plans be called local option, taxation, license, or
public control. The sale of liquors for medicinal and other legitimate uses should be conducted by the
State, without profit, and with such regulations as will prevent fraud or evasion.
2. Woman t^nnra^e.- No citizen should be denied the right to vote on account of sex.
3. Free Silver Coinage.— All money should be issued by the General Government only, and
without the intervention of any private citizen, corporation, or banking institution. It sliould be
based upon the wealth, stability, and integrity of the nation. It should be a full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, and should be of full volume to meet the demands of the legitimate business
interests of the country. For the purpose of honestly liquidating our outstanding coin obligations, we
favor the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold, at a ratio of 16 to 1, without consulting
any other nation.
4. The Public Ijands.— Land is the common heritage of the people and should be preserved
from monopoly and speculation. All unearned grants of land, subject to forfeiture, should be re-
claimed by the Government, and no portion of the public domain should hereafter be granted except
to actual settlers, continuous use being essential to tenure.
5. Government Control of Railroads.— Railroads, telegraphs, and other natural monopolies
should be owned and operated by the Government, giving to the people the benefit of the service at
actual cost,
6. Income Tax.— The National Constitution should be so amended as to allow the National reve-
nues to be raised by equitable adjustment of taxation on the properties and incomes of the people, and
import duties shouWhe levied as a means o f securing equ itable commercial relations with other nations .
7. Convict Liabor.— The contract convict labor system, through which speculators are enriched
at the expense of the State, should be abolished.
8. Sunday.— All citizens should be protected by law in their right to one day of rest in seven,
without oppressing any who conscientiously observe any other than the first day of the week.
9. The Public Schools.— The American public schools, taught in the English language,
should be maintained, and no public funds should be appropriated for sectarian institutions.
10. Election of President and Senators by the People.— The President, Vice- President,
and United States Senators should be elected by direct vote of the people.
11. liiberal Pensions.— Ex-soldiers and sailors of the United States Army and Navy, their
widows and minor children, should receive liberal pensions, graded on disability and term of service,
not merely as a debt of gratitude^ but for service rendered in the preservation of the Union.
12. Restriction of Immigration an 1 Alien Suffrage.— Our immigration laws should be
so revised as to exclude paupers and crimiimls. None but citizens of the United States should be
allowed to vote in any State, and naturalized citizens should not vote until one year after natural-
ization papers have been issued.
13. The Referendum.— The initiative and referendum, and proportional representation,
should be adopted.
14. Having herein presented our principles and purposes, we invite the co-operation and support
of all citizens who are with us substantially agreed.
* By delegates to the National Prohibition Convention at Pittsburgh, who withdrew because the
majority voted to confine the party issues to Prohibition. The seceders organized the National party.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE DEMOCI^ATIC STATE CONVENTION,
At Saratoga, June 24, 1896.
Senatob Hill, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, reported the platform, a part of which
was as follows:
We are in favor of gold and silver as the standard money of the country. We are opposed as a per-
manent financial policy to gold monometallism on the one hand, or to silver monometallism on the
other hand. The pledge contained in the repeal of the Sherman law, which repealing act was passed by a
Democratic Congress and approved by a Democratic President, should be faithfully carried out, wherein
it was declared that "the efforts of the Government should be steadily directed to the establishment of
such a safe system of bimetallism as will maintain at all times the equal power of every dollar coined or
issued by the United States in the markets and in the payment of d9bts.
We believe that such bimetallism, to which the nation is solemnly pledged, can only be safely se-
cured and permanently maintained through the concurrent action of the leading nations of the world.
Neither this country nor any other country, independent and alone, is able to maintain it, and it would
be folly to attempt it. Being so convinced, v.'S are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver in
the absence of the co-operation of other great nations. We declare our belief that any attempt upon the
part of the United States alone to enter upon the experiment of free silver coinage would not only prove
disastrous to our finances, but would retard or entirely prevent the establishment of international bi-
metallism. Until international co-operation for bimetallism can be secured — to which end all our
efforts as a Government and as a people should be in good faith directed — we favor the rigid maintenance

of the present gold standard as essential to the preservation of our National credit, the redemption of our
public pledges, and the keeping inviolate of our country's honor. We insist that all our paper and silver
currency shall be kept absolutely at a parity with gold.
RESOLUTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION,
At Buffalo, September 17, 1896.
The Democratic party of the State of New York, in convention assembled, unreservedly endorses the
platform adopted by the Democratic party at the National Convention held in Chicago on July 7, 1896;
cordially approves the nominations there made; pledges to William J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall its
hearty and active support, and declares as its deliberate judgment that never in the history of the Demo-
cratic party has a platform been written which embodied more completely the interests of the whole
people as distinguished from those who seek legislation for private benefit than that given to the coun-
try by the National Democratic Convention of 1896.
RESOLUTIONS OF STATE CONVENTION OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY,
At Syracuse, August 31, 1896.
In proposing to open the mints of the United States to the free coinage of silver at the ratio of It^ to 1
when the relative market value of silver and gold is now in the proportion of about 32 to 1, the Chicago
platform threatens a partial repudiation of that public debt the validity of which the Constitution de-
clares "shall not be questioned. " It reaches a climax of arbitrary interference with individual rights
when it seeks to force its debased money upon the public by forbidding contracts which provide for pay-
ment in any medium more valuable than the depreciated legal tender which it proposes to establish.
We repudiate the Chicago platform because it proposes to substitute for our present standard of
value, which is equal to the best in the world, an unstable and depreciated standard, which has been
rejected by every civilized and prosperous nation, and which would put us on a monetary level with
China, Mexico, and other countries where labor is notoriously underpaid. The Chicago platform declares
against gold monometallism, and advocates legislation which must inevitably lead to silver monometal-
lism ; it advocates a monetary system which would offer an unlimited field of speculation to the capitalist,
but would materially reduce the purchasing power of every dollar paid to the wage-earners, and punish
honest thrift by depreciating the value of every savings bank deposit and every life insurance policy.
It advocates liberal pensions, and at the same time seeks to impair the value of every pension paid
by the Government; it condemns the only method provided for keeping inviolate the National credit, and
favors a policy which must result in partial repudiation of the public debt ; it disapproves of the issue of
National bank notes secured by the pledge of Government bonds, and suggests no substitute therefor, ex-
cept unlimited paper money redeemable in debased and fluctuating coin.
RESOLUTIONS OF THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION,
At Saratoga, August 25, 1896.
The Republican party says that the present gold standard must be maintained, and that the way to
recover our lost prosperity is to return to the wise industrial policy by which, under Republican rule,
prosperity was achieved.
The attempt to make an ounce of gold equal in value to only sixteen ounces of silver, when it is now
worth thirty ounces, is hopeless and absurd. The United States could neither take nor use one-half the
silver that a free-coinage law would bring to their mints. This fact is so plain to the world of commerce
and business, that the mere announcement of the success of the Democratic ticket would send gold at
once to a premium, drive debtors into cruel liquidation, and cause a further withdrawal of capital from
investment, and a further suspension of industry.
No injury could be inflicted upon trade and commerce, no fraud perpetrated upon labor, no shame
visited upon the National reputation more hurtful than would be the enactment of a law compelling the
people to accept, in the payment of debts, a coin for one dollar which they could spend for not much
more than half that sum.
To allege that our stock of money is not now suflBcient for the transaction of business is mere asser-
tion, but if it were true, the evil it implies would not be cured by a law the first and instantaneous
effect of which would be to drive out of circulation our entire supply of gold money, more than one-third
of the whole. The employment of all the minting resources of the Government in the coinage of silver
dollars only could not, in a period of fifteen years, make up for the deficiency of circulation that would
result from the retirement of gold. The currency per capita is to- day greater than it ever has been.
The people can take no more money than they can buy with their labor, and what they can buy is value,
and not mere denomination.
To the maintenance of a pure circulation of dollars, of full and equal value, the Republican party is
resolutely pledged, and for the firm establishment of that policy it asks the support of every citizen who
wishes neither to cheat nor to be cheated.
The following are the members of the Light-House Board:
Hon. J. G. Carlisle, Secretary of the Treasury and ej; o#cio President of the Board, Washington, D. C.
Rear- Admiral John G. Walker, U. S. Navy, Chairman, Washington, D. C.
Mr. Walter S. Franklin, Baltimore, Md.

Commander George F. F. Wilde, U. S. Navy, Naval Secretary, Washington, D. C.
Captain John Millis, Cori^s of Engineers, U. S. Army, Engineer Secretary, Washington, D. C.
At the close of the fiscal year there were under the control of the Light-House Establishment the

third, fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, twelfth, and thirteenth districts, 1,475; light- vessels in position, 41;

The party i3 organized in local organizations known as "sections," such sections existing in
twenty-seven States of the Union. Any ten persons in any city or town of the United States may form
a section, providing they acknowledge the Platform and Constitution of the Socialist Labor Party and
do not belong to any other political party. In places, where no section exists, or where none can be
formed, any person complying with the aforesaid provisions may become a member-at-large upon
application to the National Executive Committee. Sections are not permitted to charge initiation
fees. All questions of importance arising within the party are decided by general vote. At each
meeting of the section a chairman is elected, and the same rule holds good with all standing committees.

Ttiere is an Advisory Board, composed of the State presidents and one delegate from each State
CouuciL
The founder of the A. P. A. is H. T. Bowers, of Clinton, la. , and the association was organized at
that place March 13, 1887. It is a secret order, its members being bound by oath not to reveal its pro-
ceedmgs. It claimed two years ago a membership of nearly 2,000,000 throughout the States and
Territories and in Canada, but it is believed that the membership, and with it the influence of the asso-
ciation, has greatly declined. Information as to its present status and organization is now refused to
enquirers at headquarters.
PliATFORM OF THE A. P. A,
The following official declaration of principles was made at the annual meeting at Des Moines, in
May, 1894 :
Loyalty to true Amencanism, which knows neither birthplace, race, creed, nor party, Is the first requisite for membership in
the American Protective Association.
The American Protective Association is not a political party and does not control the political affiliation of its members, but it
teaches them to be intensely active in the discharge of their political duties in or out of^ party lines, because it believes that all
problems confronting our people will be best solved by a conscientious discharge of the duties of citizenship by every individual.
While tolerant of all creeds, it holds that subjection to and support of any ecclesiastical power not created and controlled
by American citizens and which claims equal if not greater sovereignty than the Government of the United States of America is
irreconcilable with American citizenship. It is, therefore, opposed to the holding of offices in National, State, or municipal govern-
ment by any subject or supporter of such ecclesiastical power.
We uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and no portion of it more than its guaranty of religious liberty,
but we hold this religious liberty to be guaranteed to the individual and not to mean that under its protection any un-American ec-
clesiastical power can claim absolute control over the education of children growing up under the Stars and Stripes. We consider
the non-sectarian public school the bulwark of American institutions, the best place for the education of American children. To
keep them such we protest against the employment of subjects of any un-American ecclesiastical power as officers or teachers of our
public schools.
We condemn the support out of the public Treasury by direct appropriation, or by contract, of any sectarian school, reformatory,
or other institution not owned and controUed by public authority.
Believing that exemptioa from taxation is equal to a grant of public funds, we demand that no real or personal property be
exempt from taxation the title to which is not vested in the National or State governments or in any of their subdivisions.
We protest against the enlistment in the United States army, navy, or the militia of any State of any person not an actual
citizen of the United States,
We demand for the protection of our citizen laborers the prohibition of the importation of pauper labor and the restriction of all
immigration to persons who can show their ability and honest intention to become self -supporting American citizens.
We demand the change of naturalization laws by a repeal of the act authorizing the naturalization of minors without a previous
declaration of intention, and by providing that no alien shall be naturalized or permitted to vote in any State in the Union who can-

declaration of intention.
We protest against the gi-oss negligence and laxity with which the judiciary of our land administer the present naturalization
laws and against the practice of natuializing aliens at the expenbeof candidates and coromittees as the most prolific cause of the
present prostitution of American citizenship to the basest use.

subject to public inspection, whether they are maintained by the public or by private corporations or individuals.
We demand that all National or State legislation afEecting financial, commercial, or industrial interests be gen«r«l in character

This Order was organized in Philadelphia in 1847, as the ' ' Junior Sons of America, ' ' and was
composed entirely of young men under 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 claimed mem-
bership of about 100 000.
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; to oppose all appropriations of public moneys for sectarian purposes ; to preserxe 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 aU connected with it who may be m need. ' '
It is non-sectarian and 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 directed 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
soilor under the jurisdiction of the United States of America, in favor of free education, opposed to
anyunion of Church and State, and to the interference of any foreign power, directly or indirectly,
with the Government. ' '
The organization of the Order consists of a supreme body, styled the National Camp, with State
Camps and Subordinate Camps. Subordinate Camps are under the jurisdiction of the National Camp
until the number of Camps in the State warrants their being granted separate local management,
when a State Camp is chartered and assumes control of all Camps in the State. The National Camp
consistsof representatives from each State Camp and each subordinate jurisdiction under National
Camp management. State Camps consist of delegates from each Subordinate Camp in the jurisdic-
tion. Subordinate Camps are chartered by the National or State Camps having jurisdiction, and are
I all named in honor of "Washington, being numbered separately in each State or Territory.

The following resolutions were adopted by the Nationa Alliance at the sixteenth annual meeting:,
held at Chicago, 111. , December 18, 1895:
Whereas, The farmers of the United States outnumber any other class of citizens, furnish three-
fourths of the commerce of the country, and the largest proportion of our export trade, and are com-
pelled to pay the lion's share of the taxes of the country, and have always been loyal and faithful to
the Government in time of war as well as in peace ; and,
Whereas, We recognize the supremacy of law, the necessity of being subject to the sam^e, and of
having persons duly authorized, to frame and enact them ; and.
Whereas, We believe the people to be sovereign and the public officials are the servants of the
people; and,
Whereas, That the evils that now confront the farmer are the result of unfriendly legislation to
the interest of agriculture; therefore, belt
Resolved, 1. We demand in our monetary system a regular and equitable distribution Indepen-
dent of selfish and greedy combinations, free from private manipulations, with stability as well as flex-
ibility, and value as well as volume. 2. We demand that taxation, State, National, or municipal,
shall not be used to build up one interest at the expense of another. 3. We demand the nationaliza-
tion of the means of transportation and communication to the extent that the State and Interstate
Commerce laws shall be made mutually cooperative and harmonious for the strict and absolute con-
trol of the same in the interest of the people ; that the pooling clause of the Interstate Commerce law
should be retained, as it promotes that healthy competition which tends to reduce freight charges to
aminimum,whilepoolingsustaiusthematthe maximum. 4. Thatthe National Farmers' Alliancewill
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 education of our membership in political sentiment, in
harmony with our principles^ controlling no political party and being controlled by none, but each
individual may use his own judgment in the exercise of his right of franchise and in his choice of
methods by which our demands may be secured. 5. That we recommend to the Alliance the pro-
gressive reading course for farmers, and the same be under full control of an advisory committee of the
various organizations of the farmers, agricultural colleges, and experimental stations. 6. That a
restricted franchise has ever been an instrument of oppression; that the right of elective franchise
should be exercised without regard to sex, and there should be equal pay for equal work. 7. That the
anti-option bill now pending in the United States Senate should be enacted into law. 8. 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
the States of Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Montana, Missouri, Minne-
sota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.
The ZS^ational Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union, a statement in reference to which appears

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.
(6) 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 gold 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 railror.ds 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 all the Southern and Western states (except Ohio and Wyoming),
and in New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.

true Republic, the full equal of man as a citizen.
4. It has brought light, recreation, and good cheer to hundreds of thousands of rural homes.
5. Prevented the renewal of patents on sewing miachines, thus saving to the people 50 per cent of

Kfjt ^UxqU ^a^.
The following has been adopted as the official statement of the single tax principle by the advocates
thereof, Henry George, Chairman :
We assert as 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 aU men are equally entitled to the use and enjoyment of what God has 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 land should be taken for the use of the community ; that each is entitled to all
that 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 governmeut upon the States and paid by them
from revenues collected in this manner.
The single tax would :
lat. Take the -weight of taxation off the agricultural districts where land has little or no value Irrespective of improvements and
put it on towns and cities where bare land rises to a value of millions of dollars per acre.
2d. Dispense with a mnltiplicity of taxes and a horde of tax-gatherers, simplify government and greatly reduce 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 wnile they grind the poor.
4th. Give us with all the world as perfect freedom of trade as now exists between the States of our 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 outgrowth of the
tarifE.
5th. It would, on the other hand, by taking for public use that value which attaches to land by reason 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 mv«l-
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.
With respect to monopolies other than monopoly of land, we hold that when free competition be-
comes impossible, as in telegraphs, railroads, water and gas supplies, etc. , such business becomes a
proper social function which should be controlled and managed by and for the whole people concerned
through their proper government, local. State, or National, as may be.

Oman .Stt^rafie^
The iGgislaturei? of Connecticut and New York in their sessions of 1893 passed laws permitting
women to vote for school otficers. The privilege was used to a limited extent ia both States, but in
the November election a Supreme Court Judge in New York decided that the act of that State was
unconstitutional. The Iowa and Ohio legislatures in 1894 granted suflrage in school elections to women.
In the New York State Convention in 1894 to revise the Constitution a woman suffrage amendment
was defeated by a vote of 97 to 58.
In Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming women have full suffrage and vote for all officers, including
Presidential electors. The Woman Suffrage Law \s^as adopted in Wyoming in 1870,and ia Colorado in
1893, and woman suffrage is a constitutional provision in Utah.
In Kansas women exercise the suffrage largely in municipal elections. In November, 1894, the
people voted upon a constitutional amendment providing for woman suffrage. It was defeated.
In 1895 woman suffrage was defeated in the South Carolina Convention to frame a new Constitu-
tion. On the question of granting municipal suffrage to women JVIassachusetts in 1895 voted ad-
vGrsolv t)V 2i \2lv^q iHciioritv.
A Woman Suflrage Amendment to the State Constitution was adopted ui Idaho In 1896, but a
question as to its constitutionality has been raised.
Women formerly voted in the Territory of Washington, and until they were excluded byadecision
of the Territorial Supreme Court. In adopting a State Constitution the question of allowing women to
use the ballot was submitted to a separate vote of the electors and was defeated.
But 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, m Canada, and in
parts of India women vote on various terms for municipal or school officers.
The following are the officers of the National American Woman Suffrage Association: Honorary
President, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, New York; President, Susan B. Anthony, Rochester; Vice-
President-at^ Large, the Rev. Anuall. Shaw% Philadelphia; Corresponding Secretary, Rachel Foster

service of the United States. ' ' It provides for the appointment of three Commissioners, a Chief Ex-
aminer, a Secretary, and other employes, and makes it the duly of the Commission to aid the Presi-
dent as he may request in preparing suitable rules for carrying the act into effect ; to make regulations
for and control the examinations pi-ovided for, and supervise and control the records of the same;
and to make investigations and report upon all matters touching the enforcement and effect of the
rules and regulations. The address of the Commission is Washington, D. C. The President of the
Commission is John R. Procter; the Secretary is John T. Doyla

Service, the Custom-Kouse Service, the Post-Office Service, the Government Printing Service, and
the Internal llevenue Service.
The force at navy- yards, naval stations, and places under the Navy Department outside Wash-
ington are under a board of labor employment, approved by the Commission and the President.
The rules which pertain to the Post-Office Service contain the provision that whenever, by order of
the Postmaster-General, any post-office shall be consolidated with, and made a part of, a free-delivery
post^-office, the Postmaster-General shall at once notify the Commission of such consolidation, and
from the date of said order the employes of the office thus made a part of the free-delivery office
whose names appear on the roster of the Post-Office Department shall oe employes of said free-deliv-
ery office, and the person holding, on the date of said order, the position of postmaster at the office
thus made a part of said free-delivery office may be made an employe in said free-delivery office, and
may at the time of classification be assigned to any position therein and given any appropriate desig-
nation which the Postmaster-General may direct.
For places in the Classified Service where technical qualifications are needed special examina-
tions are held. In the Departmental Service they are held for the State Department, the Pension,
Patent, and Signal Offices, Geological and Coast Surveys, and other offices.
APPLICATIONS.
Applicants for examination must be citizens ot the United States of the proper age. No person
habitually using intoxicating liquors can be appointed. Is o discrimination is made on account of sex,
color, or political or religious opinions. The limitations of age vary with the diflferent services ; but
the age limitations do not apply to any person honorably discharged from the military or naval ser-
vice of the United States by reason of disabilitj' resulting from wounds or sickness incurred in the
lineof dutv. Such persons are preferred in appointments under §1,754, R. S., and certified to ap-
pointing officers before all others of higher grade.
Every one seeliing to be examined must first file an application blank. The blank forthe Depart-
mental, Railway Mail, Indian School, or Government Printing Office Service should be requested
directly of the Civil Service Commission, at Washington. The blank for the Customs, Postal, or
Internal Revenue Service must be requested in writing by the persons desiring examination of the
Customs, Postal, or Internal Revenue Board of Examiners at the office where service is sought.
These papers should be returned to the officers from whom they emanated.
EXAMINATIONS.
The applicants to enter the services designated are examined as to their relative capacity and fit-
ness. The ordinary clerical examinations are used only in the Customs, Departmental, and Internal
Revenue Services for clerkships requiring no peculiar information or skill. They are limited to
the following subjects: First, ci-thography, penmanship, and copying; second, arithmetic— funda-
mental rules, fractions, and percentage ; third, interest and discount, elements of bookkeeping, and
accounts; fourth, elements of the English language, letter- writing, and the proper construction of
sentences. For places in which a lower degree of education suffices, as for employes in post-offices,
compositors and other trade employes, and those below the grade of clerks in custom-houses and in
the Departments at Washington, the Commission limits the examination to less than these four sub-
jects, omitting the third and parts of the fourth subject. The examinations relate as nearly as possi-
ble to the duties to be performed, and wherever applicable include experience and practical tests. No
one is certified for appointment whose standing in the examination is less than 70 per centum of com-
plete proficiency, except that applicants claiming military or naval preference under §1,754, R. S.,
need obtain but 65. The law also prescribes competitive examinations to test the fitness of persons
in the service for promotion therein. The Commission gives a certificate to the person examined,
stating whether he passed or failed to pass.
APPOINTMENTS.
When thereisa vacancy to be filled, the appointing officer applies to the CommibSion or proper
examining board, and it reports to him the names of the three persons of the sex called lor graded
highest on the proper register of those in his branch of the service and remaining eligible, and from
the three a selection must be made. In the Departmental Service appointments are apportioned
among the States on the basis of population.
Every appointment is made for a probationary period of six mouths, at the end of which time,
if the conduct and capacity of the person appointed have been found satisfactory, the appointment is
made absolute. There is a constant demand for men stenographers and typewriters, meat inspectors,
patent examiners, compositors, fish culturists,and persons of technical qualifications of various kinds.
The number of women applying lor clerical places is greatly in excess of the needs of the servica
The following are excepted from examination for appointment:

(o) Private secretaries or confidential clerks (not exceeding two) to the President or to the head
of each of the eight Executive Departments.
(6) Indians employed in the Indian service at large, except those employed as superintendents,

collector, as may be determined by the Treasury Department.
All officers and employes who have heretofore been classified under the CivU Service Act shall be
considered as still classified and subject to the provisions of these rules.

FROM 1789 TO 1896.
AGQBEGATE POPTTLAB VOTE AND ELECTORAL VOTE FOR CANDIDATES FOR PRESI-
DENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT AT EACH ELECTION.
Note. —There is, properly speaking, no popular vote for President and Vice-President; the people
vote for electors, and those chosen in each State meet therein and vote for the candidates for President
and Vice-President. The record of any popular vote for electors prior to 1824 is so meagre and imper-
fect that a compilation would be useless. In most of the States, for more than a quarter century fol-
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 ot the Legislature. In this tabulation onlj' the aggregate electoral votes for candi-
dates for President and Vice-President in the first nine quadrennial elections appear.
ELECTORAL VOTES.
1789. Previous to 1804, each elector voted for two candidates for President. The one who
received the largest number of votes was declared President, and the one who received the next largest
number of votes was declared Vice-President. The electoral votes for the first President of the United
States were: George Washington, 69; John Adams, of Massachusetts, 34 ; John Jay, of New York, 9;
R. H. Harrison, of Maryland, 6; John Rutledge, of South Carolina, 6; John Hancock, of Maasachu-
setts, 4; George Clinton, of New York, 3; Samuel Huntingdon, of Connecticut, 2; John Milton, of
Georgia, 2; James Armstrong, of Georgia; Benjamin Lincoln, of Massachusetts, and Edward Telfair,

Justices of the United States Supreme Court.
PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES— Omft'-ttcd.
NOTES TO THE TABLES OP THE PRESIDENTS, ON THE TWO PRECEDING PAGES.
♦Monroe abandoned the profession of law when a young man, and was afterwards, and until his elec-
tion, always holding public ofi&ce. t Jackson called himself a South Carolinian, and his biographer,
Kendall, recorded his birthplace in Lancaster Co., S. C; but Parton has published documentary evidence
to show that Jackson was born in Union Co,, N. C, less than a quarter mile from the South Carolina
line. tOr of departure from col lege.
§ Widows. Their maiden names are in parentheses. H She was the divorced wife of Captain
Robards. (a) The Democratic party of to-day claims lineal descent from the first Republican party,
and President Jefferson as its founder. (6) Political parties were disorganized at the time of the elec-
tion of John Quincy Adams. He claimed to be a Republican, but his doctrines wpre decidedly Federal-
istic. The opposition to his Administration took the name of Democrats, and elected Jackson President.
(c) Randall, the biographer of Jefferson, declares that he was a believer in Christianity, although
not a sectarian, {d) While President Johnson was not a church-member, he was a Christian believer.
His wife was a Methodist.
Washington's first inauguration was in New York, and his second in Philadelphia. Adams was
inaugurated in Philadelphia, and Jefferson and the Presidents following elected by the people, in the
city of Washington. Arthur took the Presidential oath of office first in New York City. John Adams
and Jefferson died on the same day, the Fourth of July, 1826, and Monroe died on the Fourth of July five
years later. John Quincy Adams was a Representative and Andrew Johnson a Senator in Congress after
the expiration of their Presidential terms, and both died while holding those offices. Tyler was a
Representative in the Confederate Congress from Virginia, and died in ofl&ce.
Washington, Monroe, and Jackson were soldiers in the Revolutionary War; Jackson, W. H. Har-
rison, Tyler, Taylor, and Buchanan in the War of 1812-15; Lincoln in the Black Hawk War; Taylor,
Pierce, and Grant in the Mexican War, and Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, B. Harrison, and McKinley
in the Civil War. Adams and Jefferson were signers of the Declaration of Independence, and Washing-
ton and Madison of the Constitution.
Grant was christened Hiram Ulysses and Cleveland Stephen Grover. W. H. Harrison was the
oldest man elected to the Presidency, and Grant the yoimgest. Cleveland was the only President mar-
ried in the White House, and his second daughter the only President's child born therein. Grant's
daughter was the only child of a Piesident married therein. Wives of Tyler and Benjamin Harrison
died in the White House.
Virginia was the mother of seven Presidents, Ohio of four (and will be of five), North Carolina of
three, Massachusetts and New York of two each, Kentucky, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
and Vermont of one each. The Presidential elections occur in the leap years (except 1900, which is not a
leap year).
THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION.
The Presidential succeesion is fixed by chapter 4 of the acts of the Forty-ninth Congress, first session.
In case of the removal, death, resignation, or inability of both the President and Vice-President, then
the Secretary of State shall act as President imtil 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: Secretary of War, Attorney-General, Post-
master-General, i Secretary of the Navy, and Secretary of the Interior (the ofi&ce of Secretary of Agri-
culture was created after the passage of the act). The acting President must, upon taking office, con-
vene Congress, if not at the time in session, in extraordinary session, giving twenty days' notice. This
act applies only to such cabinet officers as shall have been appointed by the advice and consent Of th©
Senate and are eligible under the Constitution to the Presidency.

HOW THE PRESIDENT AND VICE-PRESIDENT ARE CHOSEN.
The next Presidential election will take place on Tuesday, November 6, 1900.
The President and Vice-President of the United States are chosen by oincials termed ' ' Electors * '
in each State, who are, under existing State laws, chosen by the qualified voters thereof by ballot, on
the first Tuesday after the first Monday of November in every fourth year preceding the year in which
the Presidential term expires.
The Constitution of the United States prescribes that each State shall "appoint,' ' in such m.anner
as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors equal to the whole number of Senators and
Representatives to which the State may be entitled in Congress; but no Senator or Representative or
person holding an ofUce of trust or profit under the United States shall be an elector. The Constitu-
tion requires that the day when electors are chosen shall be the same throughout the United States.
At the beginning of our Government most of the electors were chosen by the Legislatures of their
respective States, the people having no direct participation in their choice ^and one State, South Carolina,
continued that practice down to the breaking out of the Civil War. But in all the States now the
electors are, imder the direction of State laws, chosen by the people on a general State ticket.
The manner in which the chosen electors meet and ballot for a President and Vice-President of the
"United States is provided for in Article XII. of the Constitution, and is as follows:
The electors stall meet In their respective States, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least,
shall not be an inhabitant of the same State with themselves ; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and
in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President; and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and
of all persons voted for as Vice-President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they snail sign and certify, and transmit,
sealed, to the seat of government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate.
The same article then prescribes the mode in which the Congress shall count the ballots of the
electors, and announce the result thereof, which is as follows:
The President of the Senate shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates, and the
votes shall then be counted ; the person having the greatest number of votes for President shall be President, if such nimiber be a
majority of the whole number of electors appointed ; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest
numbers, not exceeding three, on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose inmiediately, by
ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes sliaU be taken by States, the representation from each State having
one vote ; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the States, and a majority of all the
States shall' be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President, whenever the right of
choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next follo-w-ing, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in
the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President, The person having the greatest number of votes as Vice-
President shall be the Vice-President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed ; and if no person have
a majoritv, then from the two highest numbers on the list the Senate shall choose the Vice-President ; a quorum for the purpose
shall consist of two-thirds of the whole number of Senators, and a majority of the whole number shall be necessary to a choice.
The procedure of the two Houses, in case the returns of the election of electors from any State are
disputed, is provided in the ' ' Electoral Count ' ' Act, passed by the Forty-ninth Congress.
The Constitution also defines who is eligible for President of the United States, as follows:
No person except a natural-bom citizen or a citizen of the United States at the time of the adoption of this Constitution shall be
eligible to the office of President ; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-
five years.
The qualifications for Vice-President are the same.
The ' ' Electoral Count ' ' Act directs that the Presidential electors shall meet and ^ve their votes
on the second Monday in January next following their election. It fixes the time when Congress shall
be in session to count the ballots as the second Wednesday in Eebruary succeeding the meeting of the
electors.
For a statement of the succession to the Presidency, in case of the death, inability, etc., of both
President and Vice-President, as fixed by law, see note following table of Presidents (page 118).

may not be wounded, therefore, a separating dash has been discreetly introduced after age sixty-five.

Mtatt ILtQiulution in 1896*
Tfljfi following summary of the more important legislation effected by State Legislatures in 1896
is compiled from the address of President Moorefield Storey, before the American Bar Association in
August, 1896. The Legislatures in session in 1896 were those of Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, "Utah, and Virginia.
Constitutional Law.— The Legislature of Louisiana made a new departure in submitting to
the electors a proposition for a constitutional convention to frame a new Constitution for the State, but
without power to change the existing Constitution so as to affect or impair the bonded indebtedness of
the State, or of any municipal, parochial, or levee corporation thereof; or to shorten or terminate
before the year 1900 the tenure of any existing State, parochial, or municipal office except by abolish-
ing the ofl&ce, or to make any change in the present rate of taxation, the present seat of government,
or the law relating to the levee system of the State.
In Virginia provision was made for a convention with unlimited powers.
Alunicipal Government.— Questions connected with the government of our great cities have
occupied recently a large share of public attention. "We have begun to realize that the prosperity of
the country depends in no small part upon good city government, and that we are far behind other
nations in this matter.
South Carolina passed a statute which provides a uniform method of incorporating and governing
towns with between one thousand and five thousand inhabitants, and has in like manner provided
for towns .of smaller size. General statutes applying to all cities and towns authorize them also to
build and manage water works and plants for electric lighting, to refund existing indebtedness,
and to increase or diminish their corporate limits.
Iowa, also, by general act enabled cities of the first class to construct and manage water works.
New Orleans secured from the Legislature of Louisiana a charter prepared by a committee of the
Citizens' League, and drawn on the approved lines of municipal reform. The power is concentrated in
the hands of the Mayor, who has the right to appoint and rem.ove all heads of departments, while aU
the other officers of the city are appointed after competitive examination according to the principles
of civil service reform. The classified service not only includes every officer except the Mayor, the
Councilmen, and the heads of departments, but it extends to the laborers in the employ of the city.
The whole system is placed under the charge of a civil service commission consisting of three mem-
bers, no one of whom has held or been a candidate for any municipal office during four years before
his appointment, and who hold office for twelve years, one going out every four years. The civil service
features of the charter are largely drawn from the Illinois statute, with a few changes intended to
make it more effective. The charter further provides that no franchise shall be granted unless the
Mayor and the executive officers of the city approve the ordinance of the Common Council, and that
all street railway franchises shall be sold to the person bidding the highest percentage of the gross in-
come to be derived from the exercise of tlie franchise. The Legislature supplemented its action in this
matter by an act creating a drainage commission and authorizing the borrowing of $5, 000, 000 for the
purpose of providing an efficient system of drainage, and by another act creating a dock com.mission,
regulating wharfage and making New Orleans practically a free port.
Civil Service Reform.— In Utah the Legislature passed a law applying to all cities of 12,000
inhabitants or more, which places the fire and police departments under civil service rules, and
requires that the highest on the list determined by competitive examination shall always be
appointed to office unless there is some good reason to the contrary. No fire or police commissioner
and no officer of either department is permitted to take any part in politics, and the law forbids any
attempt to influence the vote of any officer, and the levy or payment of any contribution for political
purposes, or in order to make a present to any officer of the department.
Elections.- In Virginia an act was passed regulating primary elections in a single county. It
authorizes any political party to hold a primary election and regulates the method in which it shall
be held, and the votes printed, cast, and counted, leaving the local county committee to make any
rules consistent with the act, and punishing severely violations of the act, fraudulent registration,
and bribery, or attempt at bribery. The expense of this primary election is to be paid by the party,
and the committee is authorized to raise the money either by voluntary subscription or by assessing
it equitably against the candidates, it being expressly provided that no candidate failing to pay his
assessment shall have his name printed on the ballot. A somewhat similar act relating to another
county contains no provision for assessing candidates.
The Australian ballot law of this State was amended in various particulars, the most important
being a requirement that with the names of the presidential electors the names of the candidates for
whom they are expected to vote shall be furnished to the Secretary of the Commonwealth. The names
of the electors are to be grouped under the names of the candidates and the voter may indicate his
choice of electors by marking the names of the candidates.
New Jersey supplemented her registration law by stringent provisions requiring registration by
streets and houses in the larger cities. Among other provisions is one for the protection of candi-
dates. This makes it a misdemeanor to solicit from a candidate money or other property or to urge
him to purchase any ticket to a ball or other entertainment, with a proviso that this shall not apply
to a request for a contribution from an authorized representative of the party nominating him,
Ohio has passed a very stringent law against corrupt practices which forbids any candidate for
representative in Congress or any office created by the Constitution or laws of the State to contribute
or promise for campaign purposes, directly or indirectly, more than one hundred dollars for any
number of voters up to five thousand, one dollar and a half for each additional one hundred voters
up to twenty- five thousand, one dollar for each additional one hundred voters between twenty-five
thousand and fifty thousand, and nothing for any number of voters above the larger number. This
makes six hundred and fifty dollars the maximum contribution which any candidate can make.
Returns of receipts and exnenditures in great detail with names, dates and amounts are required
from every candidate for nomination or election, and from every committee, or person receiving
or expending money or contracting obligations for a committee. No officer elected can receive his
commission or enter upon his duties till his return has been made. Any violation of the statute, or any
other act forbidden by law, committed by the candidate or his agent, or any political committee or
party or their agent, with his connivance or that of his agents, makes his election void, and proceedings
130 State Legislation in 1896.
to vacate his office on these grounds may be brought at any time during the incumbent's term. Such
proceedings are in every way made easy and are given precedence in the courts.
Utah passed a law, forbidding every Icind of electoral corruption and punish ing both the giver
and taker of a bribe.
South Carolina passed a registration law which requires of the voter ability to read any section in
the Constitution or " to explain ' ' it when read to him by the registering officers. This State has not
adopted the Australian law, but requires separate ballots and ballot boxes for different candidates, a
system which insures a deliberate if not a full vote. After January 1, 1898, residence for a certain
time in State, county, and precinct, the ability to read and write any section of the Constitution,
or, in the alternative, proof that the applicant owns and has paid all taxes collectible during the year
on property worth $300 are required.
Maryland passed a new law to regulate registration and elections which contain elaborate provisions.
Massachusetts passed an act to prevent false registration in Boston, and another to regulate
caucuses in that city, while a third amends the general caucus act so as to make it more effective.
Another law provides for the use of a stamp by the voter in marking the ballot, and also for the grad-
ual introduction of the "■ McTammany voting machine."
The Legislature of Louisiana passed a ballot act which applies the Australian system in its strictest
and purest form to the city of New Orleans and in a somewhat modified form to the country parishes,
a concession apparently to the principle of local option. This act, in prohibiting any person from as-
sisting another in the preparation of his ballot unless the voter is physically unable to do it himself,
virtually imposes an educational qualification under guise of an election regulation.
Louisiana has also adopted a stringent registration law which will make fraudulent registration
nearly impossible.
Education.— Kentucky provided for a very careful examination of teachers under a system which
commits the preparation of the questions to the State Board of Education, and guards very carefully
against any possible collusion between examiners and applicants. Among other required subjects are
physiology and hygiene, including ' ' the effects of alcoholic drinks and narcotics on the human
system. ' '
Kentucky also passed an act requiring every parent, or person in charge of a child between seven
and fourteen years old, to send such chUd to school for at least eight consecutive weeks every year
with certain exceptions.
Ohio created a pension fund for teachers in certain cities by providing for a deduction from their
salaries, and placing the fund thus created under the control of seven trustees, to wit., the superintend-
ent of schools, three elected by the teachers, and three by the Board of Education.
Mississippi created a State Board of Examiners to prepare questions and superintend the examina-
tions of all who seek appointment as teachers and superintendents of schools.
South Carolina provided a system of free schools under a State Superintendent and a Board of
Education empowered to prescribe rules for the government of the schools and the examination of
teachers, to define courses of study and select text books, and also as in Ohio, to deal with publishers.
Liabor Liegislation.— New Jersey requires every corporation or establishment engaged in man-
ufacturing, mining, quarrying or lumbering to pay its employees at least once in two weeks, each
payment to be of all wages due to within twelve days. All contracts for other payments, except at
shorter intervals, are declared void.
Marj'land made a similar provision, restricted, however, to laborers employed by coal mining
corporations in Allegheny county, while Massachusetts compels persons engaged in manufacturing
and employing twenty- five persons to make weekly payments and forbids any special contract to the
contrary. In Utah the wages of employees for one year are preferred in case of the employer's
insolvency,
Utah requires a quarterly inspection of coal mines, safety appliances and proper construction,
and prohibits the employment of any woman or any child less than lourteen years old in any mine or
smelter. Eight hours also is m^ade the period of employment in underground mines and in smelters
and reduction works.
The arbitration of labor questions was the subject of legislation in Ohio and Utah. The first extends
the provisions of its statute to cases where several employers on one side are opposed to aggregations
of their employees on the other, and directs the Board of Arbitration, at the request of either party,
to investigate and publish a report assigning the blame, if neither a settlement nor arbitration is had
by reason of the other party's opposition. Utah creates a Board of Arbitration, consisting of one
employer, one employee, and a third person who is neither, provides for an investigation of
and report on labor questions, and makes the decision binding on parties who join in requesting
action or appear before the Board, until either party has given the other notice of his intention not to
be bound and for ninety days thereafter.
This State also made the blacklisting of any employee, whether discharged or leaving voluntarily,
a felony punishable by imprisonment and fine.
Mississippi gave an employee the same right to recover as any other person, not only where the
injury results from the negligence of a person charged with the duty of control, but when it results
from the negligence of a fellow servant engaged in another department of labor or on another piece of
work, or in case of a railroad on a different train of cars. The law further provides that knowledge by the
injured party of the unsafe or defective character or condition of any machinery, ways or appliances
shall not affect his right to recover except in case of engineers or conductors in charge of unsafe cars or
engines voluntarily operated by them.
Mississippi provided that where death occurs from negligence under such circumstances that the
deceased, ijhe had survived, could have i-ecovered damages for the injury, the fact of instantaneous
death shall be no bar, and an action for such damages may be brought by "the widow for the death
of her husband, or by a husband for the death of his wife, or by a parent for the death of a chUd,
or by a child for the death of a parent, " or by brother or sister for the death of brother or sister, or
' ' all parties interested may join in the suit, and there shall be but one suit for the same death, which
shall enure to the benefit of all parties concerned, but the determination of such suit shall not bar
another action, unless it is decided upon its merits. ' ' In such action the party or parties shall recover
such damages as the jury may assess," takin? into consideration all damages of every kind to the
decedent, and all damages of every kind to any and all parties interested in the suit." The act pro-
vides, however, that no part of the sum recovered shall go to the creditors of the deceased, and
prescribes rules for the distribution of the damages, which, if the deceased leave husband, wife, or
children, go wholly to them, although many other relatives may have joined in the suit and helped
to inflate the verdict. Only in case the deceased leaves none of the relatives named can the legal
representatives of the deceased sue, or the creditors profit by the recovery.
Trusts and Corporations.— Mississippi passed an act which allows the producer or owner of any
State Legislation in 1896. 131
commodity whose cost or price is affected by " any unlawful trust or combine,' ' to recover the sum of
$500 and all actual damages in a suit against any party to the -'combine" or any of its attorneys,
officers, or agents, whether or not all the parties to the trust are known, and whether or not it was made
or exists in Mississippi. This remedy is extended to any person if the cost or price of his labor is
injured by any such combination. In any such action, evidence that the combmation intended to
affect cost or price is made conclusive evidence that it was affected, and the same penalty and dam-
ages may be recovered from any railroad, transportation, telegraph, or telephone company which is a
party to such trust, or by reason of it refuses to transmit any message or comnaodity from one place in
the State to another.
"Utah forbade any combination of persons to control or affect the price of professional services or
any commodities, prescribes a penalty of fine, imprisonment, or both, for any violation of the act,
makesany person violating it liable to any injured party for the damages sustained, and makes all
contracts void which contravene the law.
Kentucky required every corporation or person running a railroad more than five miles long to
run at least one passenger train each way every day but Sunday.
Iowa declared express companies to be common carriers and placed them under the control of the
Bailway Commissioner,
New Jersey provided for the abolition of all crossings by a highway and railroad at grade in certain
cities upon terms more liberal to the railroad corporation than have been imposed in some other
States. The court must first hear the application, which may be made either by the city or the
railroad company, and if satisfied that the change is proper and feasible without unreasonable
expense, may appoint a commission to report a plan with full details, which the court may alter or
reject. Of the expense t he city is required to pay so much as arises from changes in pipes, sewers, the
grade or location of streets, or anything done to them outside the railroad location, and also all claims
for damages caused thereby, and the railroad company pays the rest.
Ohio required interlocking switches wherever an electric street railway crosses a steam railroad,
or else a full stop before the crossing, and forbids the construction of any future crossing without such
a switch. Another act required railroad corporations gradually to equip all passenger cars with
portable chemical fire extinguishers.
South Carolina authorized its railroad commissioners to require connecting roads to run their
trains so that connections shall be close, if this can reaso ably be done. The Legislature also fixed
passenger rates, ordered first and second class tickets, required railroad companies to pay the charges
of all previous carriers on freight delivered to them, whenever they can be collected from the con-
signee and do not exceed half the value of the freight, and forbade all discrimination between carriers
at common or junction points and all failure to afford equal facilities to all. The act provides that any
consignor may designate the route by which his freight shall be shipped and that the routing shall not
be varied.
Iowa placed the burden of proof on telegraph companies in suits for damages caused by errors in
the transmission of messages; but no suit can be maintained unless the claim is presented within
sixty days after the error.
Maryland fixed the maximum charge for telephone service between any two cities, town or villages
in the State, the rate varying with the distance, and enacted that the steam heating law shall not apply
to trains carrying passengers to participate in the ceremonies attending the inauguration of the Presi-
dent.
Georgia provided that a bank whose capital is impaired must at once make it good by transfer from
its surplus or undivided profits, or if these are not sufficient, by assessing its shareholders. Another
act provided that circulating notes shall be issued to any bank which deposits with the treasurer of the
State, bonds of the United States or of Georgia in double the amount of the notes issued.
Agriculture.— Virginia forbade the imposition of any tax or penalty on anyone selling his own
products outside of regular market houses.
Maryland and Utah, in different ways, provided for the holding of "institutes" at least once a
year in each county, where skillful teachers shall instruct the farmers and lay before them the results
of the most recent investigations in theoretical and practical agriculture.
Severe laws were passed to protect the farmer from insects and diseases fostered or spread by his
neighbor' s carelessness. Utah created a State Board of Horticulture, and requires each owner or
person in charge of any vineyard, orchard, or nursery to disinfect all fruit trees or vines by spraying
them with a poisonous solution strong enough to kill all fruit-destroying insects and their young. The
Board of Horticulture and their deputies are to be inspectors of trees, and to serve notice on every
person in charge of trees stating the time when the disinfection should be done, and giving foronulas
for the preparation of the disinfecting solution.
In Ohio a similar act was aimed at the diseases of trees known as ' ' yellows, " " black knot ' ' and
"San Jose scale." It requires the destruction of every diseased tree and all infected fruit by the
owner or person in charge, and imposes a penalty on the keeping or sae of either. It further provides
for the appointment of fruit commissioners in any township on the application of five freeholders.
The commission is required to find out ail cases of disease, to mark the trees and to order their des-
truction, and, failing obedience, to destroy the trees themselves. In cases where the diagnosis of the
commissioners is questioned, an appeal is allowed to the professor at the Ohio Experiment Station,
who is declared by the statute to be an expert.
Ohio provided by law for the dipping of sheep every year as a preventive of scab,
Virginia passed a very careful statute to protect domestic animals from contagious disorders, among
which tuberculosis is especially named.
Mississippi imposed fine and imprisonment on the person in charge of any horse affected with
glanders who does not kill or confine it apart, and in such case directs the sheriff to kill it.
Utah offered bounties to cultivators of the silk- worm and canaigre root, a vegetable used in
tanning leather.
Ohio, Georgia, South Carolina, and Utah passed laws to prevent the sale of any substitute for
butter or cheese, unless it is distinctly declared to be an imitation.
Massachusetts, Mississippi, and Virginia agreed in laws to prevent the sale of fraudulent fertilizers.
The Public Health.— Ohio passed a statute to prevent the adulteration of vinegar, Massachu-
setts to insure the purity of condensed milk, while the Legislature of Rhode Island attacked those who
would sell adulterated candy.
Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Ohio passed laws to secure the purity of bread and to
prevent its becoming the means of carrying the germs of disease.
Anotheractof Ohio provided for the examination and licensing of plumbers and the inspection of
their work, and forbids the doing of any plumbing except small repairs and the stopping of leaks
^dthout a permit from the proper officers.
Massachusetts incorporated the American Hotel Institute " for the purpose of promoting the study
132 State Legislation in 1896.
and practice of the culinary art and other duties appertaining thereto by the establishment of a school
of hotel and home science,' ' with the right to grant certificates of proficiency.
Maryland directed the proprietors of shops to provide '^'•female help employed for the purpose of
serving the public as ' clerks or salesladies ' ' ' with chairs, on which to rest as opportunity offers.
Iowa authorized cities to prohibit and remove barbed wire fences within their limits.
Taxation.— Iowa and Virginia followed the examples of other States and imposed a collateral
inheritance tax of five per centum on all property passing at the death of a person to his collateral
kindred. Iowa imposed her tax only on sums exceeding $1,000, while Massachusetts amended her
law by exempting legacies or shares not exceeding $500 m value.
Iowa exempted crematories from taxation if no profit accrues to their owners.
Ohio provided for the levy of a State tax on the gross receipts of electric light, gas, natural gas,
pipe line, water, street railway, railroad, telegraph, telephone, messenger and express or like com-
panies, and also upon freight line and equipment companies doing business over railways wholly or
partly in Ohio, which are to be assessed upon the proportion of their capital stock representing capital
and property owned and used in Ohio. Iowa taxed express companies upon their gross receipts from
business done in the State.
Utah gave the taxpayer four years within which to redeem his property from a tax sale, but he
to pay interest at the rate of eighteen per cent, a year.
ETentucky submitted to the people an amendment to the Constitution which authorizes the passage
of general laws to "provide for the taxation by municipalities of property, other than lands and im-
provements thereon, based on income, licenses, or franchises which may be either in addition to or in
lieu of ad valorem taxes thereon.' '
Ohio and South Carolina required every able-bodied man, with a few exceptions, to labor on the
roads a certain number of days in each year, but with a proviso that a certain payment will be accepted
instead. In Ohio this is two days or three doUars, In South Carolina it is four days or two dollars.
Aliens.— Massachusetts passed a law requiring that when mechanics or laborers are to be
employed on any public work by the State or any municipal corporation or by contractors with either,
citizens shall be preferred to foreigners^ and every contract must contain this requirement, a penalty
being imposed on any contractor who disregards it.
South Carolina forbade the holding by any alien of more than five hundred acres of land, unless it
is bought at foreclosure sale ; and Iowa provided that no non-resident alien, corporation created by the
law ofa foreign country, or domestic corporation whose stock is controlled by non-resident aliens
shall hold real estate within its bounds.
Criminal Liaw.— Kentucky and Virginia made prize fighting a felony, punishable by imprison-
ment for from one to five years. The latter State brushed away the fiction that the use of gloves
changes the character of the contest.
South Carolina directed the punishment not only of principals but any persons who whether as
individuals or as officers of a club offer a prize or furnish a place for the encounter, while Massachu-
setts provided for the punishment of all who engage in or promote any public or private boxing match
where the contestants are given or promised any reward.
Virginia prohibited any betting or pool selling on any trial of speed or endurance, and forbids any
racing in winter.
Maryland provided that if a man deserts or wrongfully neglects to support his wife or minor child,
he is a criminal, punishable by fine and imprisonment. Here also written or oral threats to accuse a
person of something, which, if true, would bring the person into disrepute, are made criminal.
Louisiana fixed the age of consent at sixteen years, Virginia and South Carolina at fourteen, while
Utah made consent impossible in law between thirteen and eighteen.
Rhode Island followed the lead of other States in two statutes. The first authorizes the measure-
ment and description of criminals according to the Bertillon method. The other defines an habitual
criminal as one who has been sentenced for crime for two or more terms of imprisonment and directs
that upon any subsequent conviction such person shall in addition to the sentence for the last offience
be imprisoned for twenty-five years. This is tempered by a provision which enables the Governor if
satisfied that the convict has reformed to set him at liberty for the rest of his term on such conditions
as he thinks wise. If these are violated the leave is avoided.
Utah also provided lor the detention of habitual criminals for periods of not less than fifteen
years, and autho rizes the release of reformed prisoners on parole.
Ohio and South Carolina legislated against mob violence. Ohio defines " a mob " as " any collec-
tion of ind ividuals assembled for any unlawful purpose intending to do damage or injury to anyone, or
pretending to exercise a correctional power over other persons by violence and without authority of
law," and raises "lynching" to an established position in the law, by giving it also a legal definition
in a provision that "any act of violence exercised by a 'mob ' upon the body of any person shall constitute
a ' lynchi ng. ' ' ' The act gives the sufferer by any lynching right to recover of the county from
$500 to $5 ,000. In case of death the legal representatives of the deceased shall recover $5, 000, which
is not to be treated as a part of his estate but is for the benefit of wife, children, or relatives. The
county is given a remedy over against any persons in the mob, and in case the mob brings the prisoner
from one county into another, or starts in one and commits violence in the other on a prisoner i)rought
from the first, the second county is given a remedy over against the first, unless it has been guilty
of contributory negligence.
South Carolina in case of a lynching which causes death made the county liable for $2,000 with a
remedy over against the parties concerned, and it also directed the reraoval of any offices whose
neglect made the lynching possible and makes him ineligible for any ofiice,
Georgia provided that the recommendation of a jury naay make a felony for purposes of sentence
only a misdemeanor, if the court approves.
Ohio substituted electricity for the usual method of executing the death sentence.
Prison Reform.— Kentucky provided for the establishment of two distinct Houses of Reform,
one for boys and one for girls, under the charge of a board consisting of three men and three women of
different parties and religious denominations. For these institutions healthy locations are to be pro-
cured and the buildings are to be constructed on the "Cottage Family Plan," cells and bars being
omitted as far as practicable. In each cottage there are to be from eighteen to twenty- five occupants,
selected so as to be of about the same degree of criminality. Each cottage is to have a matron, a
housekeeper and a teacher, and to resemble in general arrangement and discipline " as nearly as
practicable a well-ordered and regulated home.' ' The object of these institutions is declared to be the
reformof the prisoners, and the officers are enjoined "to see that a kind and proper tone of feeling is
observed among the inmates and to do everything in their power to reclaim and improve the moral
character of the boys and girls under their care, fitting them to become good citizeus and useful mem-
bers of society.' ' The trustees are required, by frequent visits and otherwise, to see that the object of
the act is secured. "»
State Legislation in 1896. 133
rowa provided for the separation of juvenile from older oflFenders.
Evidence, Procedure, and Practice.— Iowa amends her jury law and makes anyone a com-
petent juror who can hear, see, and read, write, and speak English.
Georgia made it barratry for an attorney, in consideration of a fee to be afterwards received, to
offer his services without solicitation in order to institute a suit or act in the enforcement of a claim or
suggest or urge the bringing of suit, or without solicitation to seek out and propose to act for another
in the collection of any claim, for which he would charge a fee. The offense is made indictable, and
the offender on conviction is disqualified from practicing his profession.
Massachusetts passed a law that at the trial of any action against the legal representatives of a
deceased person, in which the cause of action is supported by oral testimony of any promise or state-
ment made by the deceased, evidence shall be admissable of statements written or oral made by him,
entries or memoranda written by him and evidence of his acts and habits of dealing tending to disprove
or show the improbability of his having made the promise or statement relied upon.
Mississippi adopted an opposite course to meet a similar danger by providing that a person cannot
testify in his own behalf to support a claim against a person of unsound mind which originated while
the defendant was sane.
Maryland allowed the parties to have witnesses in an equity suit examined orally in open court.
New Jersey repealed an act passed two years ago which made the deposition of a witness, taken
stenographically and returned to court with the certificate of a magistrate that it was correctly
transcribed, as competent as if officially written in longhand and signed by the witness.
Ohio provided on the other hand that written wills may be hand-written or type- written.
Mississippi to protect the rights of parties and insure justice even at the risk of prolixity provided
that the stenographer' s minutes of testimony and rulings given at the trial, when approved by the
judge, shall be sent to the appellate court as part of the record, unless the parties can agree on an
abridgment.
Massachusetts made a contribution to procedure by a statute which allows several persons having
claims for manual labor, each less than twenty dollars, to join in one suit against the same defendant
or defendants, each claim being stated in a separate count, and empowers the court to make such
order for the trial of issues and the payment of costs as it thinks proper, and to enter separate judg-
ments and issue one or more executions.
New Jersey enacted that in suits on sealed instruments a partial failure of consideration maybe set
up in defense, or damages growing out of the same transactions may be recouped.
Mississippi permited the heirs of persons who have died intestate leaving property in Mississippi
to establish their title and obtain possession of their shares by proceedings in chancery. The same
State provided a summary method of enabling a surety on the bond of any State officer to secure his
release from future responsibility, by directing the Governor to declare the office vacant if the incum.-
bent does not within a reasonable time after notice file a new bond.
Utah exempted property from liability to be taken on execution, and among other excepted
articles may be found " all family hanging pictures, oil paintings and drawings, portraits and their
necessary frames ' ' and the professional libraries and office furniture of lawyers, physicians and
ministers.
Maryland has passed an act which entitles a party to remove his case from a court of law to a court
of equity or vice versa at any time before the jury retires in the discretion of the judge,
Kentuckj^ provided that no proceeding but forcible detainer or entry and detainer, in which title,
possession, lien, tax or charge on real estate or any interest therein is claimed, land no judgment or
sale in such suit or proceeding shall affect a subsequent purchaser or incumbrancer for value without
notice, unless a memorandum required by the statute is filed in the clerk' s office of the county court,
Virginia followed a law already adopted in Massachusetts and provided a summary method of
obtaining judgment for an uncontested debt by motion supported by affidavit after notice.
Domestic Relations.— The New York Legislature passed the "Domestic Relations Law,"
which, like the law relating to real estate, is a codification. It carries to its completion the movement
to establish the control of married women over their property and permits the wife to enjoy every
right to acquire, use, and dispose of property, that she would have if unmarried, including the right to
carry on business and to contract with anyone, including her husband, she being alone liable on such
contracts. She cannot, however, make any contract with her husband which alters the marriage or
relieves him from his liability for her support. The wife may sue for an injury to her person, prop-
erty, or character, or for an injury arising out of the marital relation as if sole, and is liable for her own
tortious acts, the husband being not liable unless it is proved that they were done by his coercion or
instigation. The statute also permits husband and wife to transfer property directly to each other as
they have long done indirectly. Rhode Island authorized married women to contract as if unmarried
with the same rights and liabilities.
Virginia, by two statutes, fixed the degrees of kinship within which marriage is prohibited. One
act provides that it shall not be construed to prevent a man "from marrying an auntof his first wife,' '
and tliat "if any man has married either his brother's widow, the widow of his brother' s or sister' s
son or his uncle's widow the marriage shall be valid," and the other that "if any woman have mar-
ried her brother's or sister's deceased daughter's husband" the marriage is legal.
Virginia also amended the law so as to make the separate estate of any married woman liable fully
for her contracts, and passed .an act to prevent cruelty to children.
Utah made legitimate the children of all polygamous marriages made before January 4, 1896.
Liiquor Liesislation. —The " Liquor Tax Law," commonly known as the "Raines Law," in
New York, attracted widespread attention throughout the country, partly perhaps by reason of the
political importance attached to it. It is a license law pure and simple which throws the traffic open
loall who are willing to pay the tax imposed, which varies with the population of the city or town.
It creates a system of State supervision in place of local regulation, and takes for the State a portion of
the revenue heretofore devoted entirely to local purposes. It provides for local option in towns, gives
persons injuredby the gift or sale of intoxicating liquors to any person the right to recover damages
against the person giving or selling the liquor, and against the owner or lessor of the building where
the gift or sale occurs, provided notice not to sell has been given to them or their agents. It forbids
sales on Sunday or between one o' clock and five o' clock in the naorning of any day, or on election day,
and prohibits the use of screens. It protects the neighborhood of schools and churches and by various
careful provisions seeks to prevent the granting of licenses to improper persons and improper conduct
by licensees. It makes any employer engaged in the business of conveying passengers or property
forhire, guilty of a misdemeanor if he retains in his service, after notice, an employee who is habitu-
ally intemperate, in any place where his neglect of duty might imperil life or property.
South Carolina re-enacted its "dispensary law," which prohibits the sale, keeping, or transporta-
tion of any alcoholic liquor in the State under penalty of fine and imprisonment, and vests in the
Statethesolepowerof buying and selling through a board of control and dispensers appointed by it.
134 State Legislation in 1896.
To accomplish this main purpose, the act is carefully drawn and contains provisions calculated to
make any attempt to sell in violation of its prohibition ditflcult and dangerous.
Insurance.— Iowa forbade any combination between fire insurance companies to fix rates, and
authorized the iState Auditor to examine any officer of such company and to decide whether the law
has been violated.
Virginia, for the purpose of preventing any evasion of its tax laws, forbade any foreign insurance
company licensed to do business in that State from making contracts of insurance except through reg-
ularly constituted agents.
Mississippi and South Carolina provided that in suits upon policies made or renewed after the
statute, the insurer shall not be allowed to deny that the insured property was worth the value on
which the insurance was calculated, and that in cases of total loss the insurer must pay the full
amount of the policy. In Mississippi the act also requires the insurer on notice of loss to furnish blank
forms for proot with full instructions.
South Carolina provided that "No statement in the application for insurance shall beheld to
prevent a recovery before a jury on said policy in case of a partial or total loss, provided after the
expiration of sixty days the insurer shall be estopped to deny the truth of thesiatement in the appli-
cation for insurance which was adopted except for fraud iu making their application for insurance. ' '
Georgia provided that the insurer must pay the insured the full amount of loss up to the amount of
the policy, and that any stipulation to the contrary shall be void, except that where the property
insured is a stock of goods which is constantly changing, only the value of the property at the time of
the loss can be recovered.
Massachusetts repealed the law Avhich allows life insurance companies to deduct five per cent,
from the net surrender vaiue of endowment policies.
New Jersey provided that when a policy is taken by one person for the benefit of another who has
an insurable interest in the life insured, the beneficiary shall be entitled to the policy and its proceeds,
but the amount of premiums paid in fraud of creditors with interest shall be paid to them out of the
proceeds of the policy. The same provision is made iu case of a policy held by a married woman,
whether issued originally in her favor or subsequently assigned to her. This returns to the creditors
the contribution to the result which is made at their expense, and leaves the beneficiary the rest.
Amusements. — Marj-land and Ohio made it a penal offense to put upon the highway tacks, nails,
iron, glass, or any substance which can puncture or injure a bicjxle pneumatic tire.
New Jersey passed a similar statute, but recognizes other uses of the highway by forbidding the
deposit of any substance likely to injure travelers, or pedestrians, bicycles, or other vehicles, adding a
special reference however to the pneumatic tire, which was the legislator' s real care. This statute
goes further, and makes liable to any person injured, the overseer of highways, contractor, or other
person who lawfully aud for the purpose of repairing the way puts broken stones upon it, and does not
as soon &>. possible cover them with fine stone, earth or screenings.
New Jersey empowered towns to build bicycle paths. Ohio and Rhode Island gave bicycles the
position of a passenger's baggage, and required carriers to transport one for each passenger; in
Rhode Island the law expressly provided that there shall be no additional charge ; in Ohio it made
them subject to the same charges and liabilities as passengers' baggage, but exempts the passenger
from all obligation to cover or in any way protect them.
New Jersey authorizes towns to regulate bicycling by requiring their riders to carry bells audible
for one hundred feet and lamps visible for one hundred yards ahead, to be kept lighted when the
bicycle is in use at any time from an hour after sunset till sunrise. Speed also maybe regulated by
ordinance applying to all vehicles alike. These ordinances may forbid riding on any sidewalk, and in
this prohibition Maryland concurs so far as Baltimore county is concerned.
Virginia passed a law providing that every rider of a bicycle shall use all proper care in passing a
vehicle or person on horseback to avoid frightening the horse, and if the horse shows signs of terror,
the bicyclist must dismount and stop to prevent accident.
Ohio made every Saturday after twelve o' clock noon a holiday in cities having over 50,000 people.
Ohio and Louisiana passed laws intended to prevent women from wearing hats at theatres. The
latter State exempts an opera bonnet.
Uniform Ijegislation.— Maryland, Rhode Island, and Virginia each provided for the appoint-
ment of commissioners to act with those named by other States in the effort to promote uniformity.
Ohio, Maryland,^ and Massachusetts abolished days of grace on commercial paper with the single
and singular exception in Massachusetts of drafts payable at sight.
Among the uniform laws were statutes of New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Virginia forbidding
under penalties the sale of articles marked " sterling," ''sterling silver," "coin"' or " coin silver,"
unless containing certain specified proportions of pure silver.
The Reorganization of Railw^ay and other Corporations.— This is the statute of
Kentucky "to provide for the reorganization of railroad and bridge companies,' ' which is, says Mr. Story,
"unless I am mistaken, the first attempt to deal with asubject of great pubi icimportance by legislation.' '
This act in substance provides that when a corporation belonging to the classes named is insolvent
and in the hands of a court under proceedings to enforce any mortgage or for the payment of debts
" the holders of a majority of any class of securities issued by such company, or any class of creditors' '
may prepare and submit to the court a plan of reorganization, whidi shall conform to certain require-
ments, and shall provide j^jy-sf for the payment of taxes and of all debts for labor, materials, and supplies
entitled to a lien, ?iea;< for the payment or assumption of debts secured by a lien prior to that of the
creditors proposing the plan, and last, for the issue of new securities and their distribution among
security holders of the class to which the proposers belong and those holding subordinate claims, in
such manner as shall regard their relative rights.
When such a plan is proposed, the court is directed to give notice, the creditors are allowed to file
objections and upon a hearing the court may approve, amend, or reject the plan. If it is finally
approved by the court and receives the assent ot persons nolding three- fourths of the claim belonging
to the class proposing it, and a like proportion of the classes holding subordinate claims, the court is
directed to declare the plan adopted and provide for its execution.
If no such plan is proposed the court may order a sale, and if security holders buy, they may pay in
part b^ surrendering their securities as the court may order. In that case all holders of securities
belonging to the same class as the purchasers are given the same rights as the purchasers, and
the latter, before adopting any article of incorporation or transferring the property to any corporation
are required to present a plan of reorganization with substantially the provisions already stated, and
to secure its approval by the court.
" This legislation is well worthy of careful consideration,' ' says Mr. Storj^, "as a step in the ri§:ht
direction, for it enables the court to protect the interests of investors by making every reorganization
the subject of judicial investigation and securing for every interest a hearing. J
Naturalization Laws of the United States. 135
Katuraliiatton Hatos of tfje Slnitttr <^tates»
The conditions under and the manner in which, an alien may be admitted to become a citi-
zen of the United States are prescribed by Sections 2, 165-74 of the Revised Statutes of the
United States.
DECLARATION OF INTENTIONS.
The alien must declare upon oath before a circuit or district court of the United States or a
district or supreme court of the Territories, or a court of record of any of the States having
common law jurisdiction and a seal and clerk, two years at least prior to his admission, that it
is, bona fide, his intention to become a citizen of the United States, and to renounce forever
all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince or State, and particularly to the one of which
he may be at the time a citizen or subject.
OATH ON APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION.
He must at the time of his application to be admitted declare on oath, before some one of the
courts above specified, ' 'that he will support the Constitution of the United States, and that he
absolutely and entirely renounces and abjures all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince,
potentate, State, or sovereignty, and particularly, byname, to the prince, potentate, State, or
sovereignty of which he was before a citizen or subject," which proceedings must be recorded
by the clerk of the court.
CONDITIONS FOR CITIZENSHIP.
If it shall appear to the satisfaction of the court to which the alien has applied that he has
made a declaration to become a citizen two years before applying for final papers, and has re-
sided continuously within the United States lor at least five years, and within the State or Ter-
ritory Avhere such court is at the time held one year at least ; and that during that time ' ' he has
behaved as a man of good moral character, attached to the principles of the Constitution of the
United States, and well disposed to the good order and happiness of the same, ' ' he will be ad-
mitted to citizenship, .
TITLES OF NOBILITY.
If the applicant has borne any hereditary title or order of nobility he must make an express
renunciation of the same at the time of his application.
SOLDIERS.
Any alien of the age of twenty- one years and upward who has been in the armies of the
United States, and has been honorably discharged therefrom, may become a citizen on his peti-
tion, without any previous declaration of intention, provided that he has resided in the United
States at least one year previous to his application, and is of good moral character. (It is
judicially decided that residence of on^ year in a particular State is not requisite. )
MINORS.
Any alien under the age of twenty- one years who has resided in the United States three
years next preceding his arriving at that age, and who has continued to reside therein to the
time he may make application to be admitted a citizen thereof, may, after he arrives at the age
of twenty- one years, and after he has resided five years within the United States, including the
three years of his minority, be admitted a citizen ; but he must make a declaration on oath and
prove to the satisfaction of the court that for two years next preceding it has been his bona fide
intention to become a citizen.
CHILDREN OF NATURALIZED CITIZENS.
The children of persons who have been duly naturalized, being under the age of twenty- one
years at the time of the naturalization of their parents, shall, if dwelling in the United States,
be considered as citizens thereof.
CITIZENS' CHILDREN WHO ARE BORN ABROAD.
The children of persons who nov/ are or have been citizens of the United States are, though
bom out of the limits and jurisdiction of the United States, considered as citizens thereof.
CHINESE.
The naturalization of Chinamen is expressly pKohibited by Section 14, Chapter 126, Laws
of 1882.
PROTECTION ABROAD TO NATURALIZED CITIZENS.
Section 2, 000 of the Revised Statutes of the United States declares that " all naturalized
citizens of the United States while in foreign countries are entitled to and shall receive from
this Government the same protection of persons and property which is accorded to native-born
citizens. ' '
THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.
The right to vote comes from the State, and is a State gift. Naturalization is a Federal right
and is a gift of the Union, not of anyone State. In nearly one- half of the Union aliens (who
have declared intentions) vote and have the right to vote equally with naturalized or native-
iDorn citizens. In the other half only actual citizens may vote. (See Table of Qualifications for
Voting in each State, on another page. ) The Federal naturalization laws apply to the whole
Union alike, and provide that no alien may be naturalized until after five years' residence.
Even after five years' residence aL-d due naturalization he is not entitled to vote unless the laws
of the State confer the privilege upon him, and he may vote in several States six months after
landing, if he has declared his intention, under United States law, to become a citizen.

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; Louisiana, $40,021,734; North Carolina, $34,887,464; South Carolina,
$22,480,516; Texas, $14,930,000; Virgmia, $47,090,866. It must be borne in mind that the debts
of the Southern States contracted from 1861 to 1865 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.

It is estimated that 600, 000, 000 passengers were carried on steam vessels during the fiscal year.
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 Life-Sav-
ing Service, and civilians.
At the close of the last fiscal year the life-saving establishment embraced 256 stations, 186 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, 1896, and

* This estimate is of a very general nature, and affords no index to the disposable volume of land
remaining nor the amount available for agricultural purposes. It includes Indian and other public
reservations, unsurveyed private land claims, as well as surveyed private land claims, in the districts
of Arizona, California, Colorado, and New Mexico; the sixteenth and thirty- sixth sections reserved
for common schools ; unsurveyed lands embraced in railroad, swamp land, and other grants ; the great
mountain areas ; the areas of unsurveyed rivers and lakes, and large areas wholly unproductive
and unavailable for ordinary purposes. The area of land in the unsurveyed portion of the public
domain suitable for homes and subject to settlement under the laws of the United States is of com-
paratively small proportions.

146 Patent Office Procedure.
Patents are issued in the name of the United States, and under the seal of the Patent Office, 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, and not patented or described in any printed publication in this or any foreign country, be-
fore his invention or discovery thereof, 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 auy 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,
prmt, or picture to be printed, painted^ 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 assigns, 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 thereof.
If it appear that the inventor, at the time of making his application, believed himself to be the
first inventor or discoverer, apateut 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 one 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 find another makes the
invention entitle them to make application as joint inventors; but in such case they may become joint
patentees.
The receipt of letters patent from a foreign government will not prevent the inventor from obtain-
ing a patent in the United States, unless the invention shall have been introduced into public use in
the United States more than two years prior to the application. But every patent granted for an in-
vention which has been previously patented by the same inventor in a foreign country will be so lim-
ited as to expire at the same time with the foreign patent, or, if there be more than one, at the same
time with the one having the shortest unexpired term, but in no case will it be in force more than sev-
enteen years.
APPLICATIONS.
Applications for a patent must be made in writing to the Commissioner of Patents. The applicant
must also file in the Patent Oflfice 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 particularlj' 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 by
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'affaires, 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 to by the invent-
ors, if they be living.
CAVEATS.
A caveat, under the patent law, is a notice giveii 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 shall have matured his invention. Snch 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.

(Corrected for this year' s Almanac by the Chief of the Forestry Division, Department of Agriculture. )
Total forest area in the United States is estimated at round 495, CKX), (XK) 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, (XK) cubic feet, made up of the following items : Lumber market
and manufactures, 6,000,000,000 cubic feet- railroad construction, 600,000,000 cubic feet; charcoal,
250,000,000 cubic feet; fences, 5(X), 000, 000 cubic feet; fuel, 18,000,(X)0,000 cubic feet; mining
timfcer 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, (XX) annually, but during the year
1894 that amount appears to have been lost in Minnesota and Wisconsin alone.
Forest Preservation.
For the preservation of the forests, the State of New York instituted a Forest Commission in 1885,
with extensive powers, and a new commission, with new powers, was legislated in 1893, but was
abolished after the vote of the people engrafted upon the Constitution a "let alone' ' policy. The State
of California has also created a Forest Commission (which after several years' work was abolished in
1893 on account of political incompetency), the forest experiment stations being placed in charge of
the University of California, and Colorado, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire have
Forest Commissions. Minnesota and Wisconsin have a Forest Fire Warden. Ohio has a Forestry
Bureau, Maine a Forest Commissioner, and in New Jersey and North Carolina the Geological Survey
is specially charged with the forestry interests.
A national organization known as the American Forestry Association (formerly Congress), com-
posed of delegates from all the States, meets annually. The fourteenth annual meeting was held at
Washington. D.C., in January, 1896. 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, have been established in Colorado, New Mexico, California,
Arizona, Wyoming, Oregon, Washington, and others are under consideration. A bill to provide a
systematic forest administration for these was passed in both houses of the 53d Congress, but failed
to become law. It passed the House of Representatives again in 1896,
Arbor 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, and latterly the
interest has been widened by inducing the pupils of the public schools to take part in the observance.
The credit of inaugurating Arbor Day belongs to the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture, which in
1874 recommended the second Wednesday of April in each year as a day dedicated to the work of
planting trees. 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, Minnesota, 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; in six
States, as legal holidays ; in five as holidays for schools. (See Legal Holidays, )

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 of the years from 1881 to 1885, 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 27,205,000. Of these, 15, 000, CKX) came to the United States.

Note 1. — $965,185.84 was paid as bounty from July 1, 1894, to August 28, 1894, when the bounty law was repealed. The sugar
covered by these payments was produced in the fiscal years ended June 30, 1893, and June 30, 1894.

the reason that the pajTnents on one year's product have, to a large extent, been made in a subsequent year.
The importation of sugar into the United States in the fiscal year 1894 was 3,834,843,605 pounds of cane sugar, valued at $111,-
078,848, and 610,350,276 pounds of beet sugar, valued at $15,793,041. The exports for the same period were 14,778,416 pounds of
refined sugar, valued at $653,052. The importation of molaies for the same period was 19,670,663 gallons, valued at $1,984,778,
and the exports were 9,385,359 gallons, valued at $1,038,680.

United States, year ending June 30, 1895, was $25,622,776; value of leaf tobacco imported same
period, $14,745,720.
The broduct of tobacco in Europe is nearly eoual in quantity to the average production of the
United States. Neumann-Spallart has usually made it about 500, 000, 000 pounds. Austria- Hungarj'
produces about one- third of it, Russia one- tenth, Germany nearly as much, France about 35, 000, 000
Eounds, and the other countries a small quantity. Europe can easily produce all the tobacco required,
ut two reasons are prominent for importation of tobacco from this country. It is very cheap, and it
Is very desirable for mixing with and fortifying European leaf.

AREA OF THE WORLD'S COAL-FIELDS, IN SQUARE 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,l, 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.

The following is a statement by Henry R. Merton & Co. , of London, of the production of copper
by countries in 1889, in tons: Algiers, 160; Argentine, 190; Australia, 8,300; Austria, 800; Bolivia,
1,200; Canada, 2,500; ChUe, 24,250; Cape of Good Hope, 7,700; England, 1,500- Germany,
17,356; Hungary, 300; Italy, 3,500; Japan, 15,000: Mexico, 3,780; Newfoundland, 1,815; Nor-
way, 1,257; Peru, 275; Russia, 4,070; Sweden, 1,000; Spain and Portugal, 57,000; United States,
105,774; Venezuela, 5,563; total, 263,290.
The copper production of the United States in 1893, in pounds, was distributed as follows: Ari-
7,ona, 43,717,425; California, 2,825,773; Colorado, 7,121,257; Michigan, 113,462,129; Montana,

distributed, 3,365,494; total, 322,585.500.
The tin production of the world in 1894 was estimated by the U. S. Geological Survey at 83,387
tons of 2, 240 pounds, of which more than half was produced in the Straits Settlements of the Malay
Peninsular. The output in the United States was practically niL

For iron ore, English tons of 2,240 pounds are used for the United States, Great Britain, and
Canada, and metric tons of 2,204 pounds are used for all the continental countries of Europe. For pig
iron and steel, metric tons are used for all. The returns of pig iron and steel production are from the

* Annual statements of the fire insurance companies are rendered toithe insurance departments
during the mouth of January; therefore the statistics of condition in 1896 were not ready when this
publication went to press.
t The New York law requires a deposit of $200,000 from foreign companies with the insurance
department. This is treated by the department as ' ■■ deposit capital, ' ' and the surplus stated in the
next column is *■ ' surplus beyond deposit capital ' ' and other liabilities.

Theke is no other Bureau of the Federal Government which exhibits so much brain work as the
Patent Office. In its capacious halls the number of models of machines and other devices and products
required in the various industrial arts is simply prodigious. It is the best index of the mental activity
of the American people, who excel all others in inventive genius. To give in detail an account of the
vast number of inventions patented by our Government would be a labor of years and would fill many
volumes. The following is a very brief review of some of the recent most important inventions :
In the calendar year 1895, 39,145 applications for patents were received, of which 21,998 were granted,
and in the same year 12,345 patents expired and 3,428 were forfeited for non-payment of fees. Patents
were issued to citizens of every State in the Union, and in proportion to population Yankee genius pre-
vailed, more patents having been issued to citizens of Connecticut than to those of any other State — one
to every 927 inhabitants. Next in order came the District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
New York, Montana, and Colorado. The total number of patents issued by the United States up to De-
cember 31, 1895, was 562,458, and the total number issued by all the rest of the world was 981,961.
During the last quarter of a century twenty-five inventors have secured no fewer than 4,894 patents,
and among these Thomas A. Edison takes the lead with 712 patents, and next comes Elihu Thomson with
394, then Francis H. Richards with 343, the lowest among these twenty-five being George H. Reynolds
with 101.
DEMAND AND SUPPLY.
During the last year the patents issued may be divided into about 214 classes, many of which, how-
ever, are of a trivial character. Invention does not flow on uniformly, but appears to go in waves, with
unequal intervals between. A tolerably close relation appears to exist between industrial demand and
inventive activity. Each appears to be, to a certain extent, dependent on the other. Thus, where there
is little or no demand in any of the industrial arts, there will be but little inventive effort put forth. On
the other hand, when any advance in industrial conditions requires a certain article, the means for pro-
ducing that article will be rapidly created in the brains of ambitious inventors. As an illustration, it
may be mentioned that a few years ago there appeared in various journals articles setting forth the
utility of a bottle which could not be refilled after it was once emptied. This idle idea called forth about
a thousand applications.
During 1895 and 1896 there was unusual inventive activity displayed in baling cotton in cylindrical
bales, instead of in rectangular bales ; in pneumatic straw packing and in the treatment of wool-fat, re-
cently regarded as a waste product. There was also exceptional activity in the invention of excavators
and to the extraction of aluminum by electrolysis, and also of gold by the use of cyanide of potassium.
The first has probably derived an impetus from the beginning of several large enterprises, such as the
Nicaragua and Chicago canals. In the extraction of gold by the cyanide process, cyanide of gold is
formed which is easily decomposed by heat. Considerable interest was displayed in the invention of
pneumatic drills for cutting rock. Quite recently the greatest activity has been shown in the invention
of accessories to bicycles and in the machines and processes for manufacturing them. Pneumatic tires
attracted more than usual notice from inventors. Most of the patents issued on the bicycle relate to
brakes, saddles, pedals, electric lamps, and other parts of the machine, many of which are of very trifling
value. Great activity has also been displayed in the invention of telephones and of electric locks,
the latter a new art. Car fenders and car couplers, especially those of the automatictype, received more
than usual attention. Burglar-proof safes for express cars have been invented. Such safes can only be
opened by ponderous machinery at the end of the line. No small amount of inventive genius has been
expended in games and toys, wire glass for skylights, match-making machines, calculating machines,
and voting machines, the last receiving an impulse from the Australian mode of voting. The artificial
carbonization of beer, based on the recent discovery that beer can be carbonized by artificially injecting
carbonic acid gas and a second fermentation dispensed with, has stimulated a variety of applications
from inventors.

PROGRESS OF INVENTION— Continued.
AGRICULTURAL DEVICES. ~~~~~
As before intimated, the expansion of the industrial arts has given a great stimulus to the patent
system. In the art of agriculture no fewer than 10,342 patents have been granted for plows alone, and of
this number 191 are for steam plows and one for an electric plow. A very ingenious instrument was
patented in 1895 for planting sugar cane. A plow digs the trench, a knife cuts the cane in proper lengths,
which drop into the trench, and scraping blades in the rear of the machine cover them. In the case of
harvesters and threshers, single or combined, about 10,400 patents have been issued since the patent sys-
tem was established. Many of these are very complicated, and a description of them without an exten-
sive set of drawings or models would hardly be intelligible. Some are drawn by horses ; others by a
portable engine mounted on the same truck with the harvester, propelling the machine while furnishing
power to drive the mechanism at the same time. Among other devices in this department is a new in-
cubator in which the temperature is regulated by a thermostat and an electric circuit.
Flour milling has been wholly transformed lately by the substitution of the roller, instead of the
burr millstone. A dust collector for clearing the air of the flour-dust has been invented since the disas-
trous flour-dust explosions at Minneapolis, in 1878. Cotton-seed oil— a very important product — is now
extracted by the aid of volatile solvents, which are afterwards removed by distillation.
IMPROVEMENTS BY AID OF CHEMICALS
include the utilizing of air for making ammonia, the peroxides of hydrogen, barium, sodium, and calcium,
the preparation of aluminum and ferric salts and smokeless powder, the last made by taking highly
nitrated collodion and dissolving it in a mixture consisting of sixty-six parts of sulphuric ether and
thirty-four parts of alcohol. A pasty mass is thus formed, which is rolled out into strips about one-tenth
of a millimetre in thickness, and then cut and dried.
ELECTROLYSIS.
The use of electrolysis during the last decade has worked an entire revolution in metallnrgic opera-
tions, among which may be mentioned the extraction from their ores of copper, zinc, manganese, chro-
mium and aluminum. The price of the last, reduced from |12 per pound in 1878 to 40 cents in 1895, is
due to its production by electrical methods. All the copper now produced, except that from Lake Supe-
rior, is refined electrolytically. Metallic sodium and potassium are now obtained by electrolysis of
fused hydroxides or chlorides. Chlorates are now manufactured by thousands of tons by the electrolysis
of chlorides. Carborundum or silicide of carbon— a compound of silex or flint and carbon — is now pro-
duced by passing a current of electricity through a mixture of silica and carbon. This compound is now
largely superseding the use of emery and diamond dust for abrading and polishing. Calcium carbide,
another heretofore rare compound used in the manufacture of acetylene gas, is now cheaply produced by
the action of an electric arc on a mixture of lime and carbon, as first described in a patent issued last
June, In the matter of
ENGINEERING AND TRANSPORTATION,
several new patents have been issued. A system of dredging by what are called clamshell dredges has
been improved by the direct application of fluid pressure to close the bucket. The wheeled scoop for ex-
cavating and removing earth has been improved on by a recent patent. The bear- trap canal lock is a
signal advance on the old locks hitherto used. In railway construction nearly one thousand patents have
been granted, the more important, relating to the wear-plate to arrest the destruction of the wooden tie
by the rail, is a very valuable improvement, and the union of the rail ends by fusing or casting an iron
jacket about the joint under conditions involving a surface welding of the metal. Railway switches have
received great attention. The spring rail frog at the intersection of crossing rails makes the main track
practically continuous. Improved signalling devices and an elaborate pneumatic system of controlling
switches and signals have just been patented, and promise to be of immense utility.
ELECTRIC APPLIANCES
cover electric heating, electric motors, railways, meters, switches, and self-winding clocks, and electric
lighting and signaling. The railroad car telegraph is one of the recent wonders in this line. Aji elec-
tric circuit on the car extends from the metallic roof of the car to the rails with transmitting and receiv-
ing devices. This has been improved by using induction impulses from the train to the line wire, so as
not to interfere with the ordinary Morse signal sent between stations.
THE HORSELESS CARRIAGE.
In 1895 a patent was issued for a horseless carriage. This was the pioneer invention in this line. It
consists in the application of the compression gas engine to the propulsion of wagons and carriages. A
new breech-loading mechanism has been invented. It is operated by a single movement of a lever to
open or close the breech, the exploded shell being expelled by the same mechanism. It is the simplest
and most efficient instrument of its kind yet patented. Projectiles have received no small amount of
attention. A shell recently patented carries high explosives, and does not explode until it has penetrated
the armor-plates of ships. Firearms and smokeless powder have been improved. A gun patented in
1895 has been adopted in our Army. It is a magazine gun, somewhat after the Krag-Jorgensen rifle.
There is also a new smokeless powder, composed of nitrocellulose and nitroglycerine, which may be
used in rods or in free running powder.
METALLURGIC DEVICES
have been patented in great numbers. The extraction of gold and silver is accomplished by lixiviating
or leaching them in an aqueous solution of double hyposulphite of sodium and copper. The precious
metals are thus dissolved out, and then precipitated from the clear solution by means of sodium or cal-
cium sulphide. Another way of cheapening the production of gold and silver is to treat the crushed ore
with a weak cyanide solution, thus forming a cyanide of gold or silver, which is easily decomposed by
the electric current. These methods will prove exceedingly valuable where water is scarce. In the case
of artesian and oil wells, a patent was issued for a process of enlarging the hole in the rock below the
casing, so that it may be sunk to a lower depth when, for any reason, this becomes necessary. This is
accomplished by an expansible cutting device, which can be passed through the casing, and, by proper
manipulation, can be made to enlarge the bore of the well below. Another device belonging to this
class is intended to recover lost drilling tools from oil or gas wells.
A scientific invention called the solarometer was patented in 1895. It relates to taking observations
of the heavenly bodies, and solving mechanically the parts of the astronomical spherical triangle used
in navigation aqd other similar work, the principal feature and object of which are to determine the posi-
tion or the compass error of the ship at sea, independently of the visibility of the horizon. If the horizon
is not visible, but the sun or a known star is visible, the ship's position can still be determined.

From an examination of the above table It win 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 decimaUy, . 916% fine,
' ' Mint Mark ' ' means the letter or mark on the coin designating the mint at which it was struck,
as " S. , " for San Francisco ; " 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 the United States Mint. ' '

UNITED STATES MONETARY DEFINITIONS.
[From United States Treasury Circular M>. 123. J
SIXTEEN TO ONE.
The phrase " 16 to 1^" as applied to coinage, naeans 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, and the coining value of an ounce of
standard gold is S18. 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 $3, 1636.
SEIGNIORAGE.
This t«rm, as used in the United States, means the profit arising from, the coinage of bullion. The
Government does not purcha.se 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 and coined into dollars there is a profit arising from such coin-
age^ the amount of which depends upon the price paid for the bullion. For example, there are 371^
grams of pure silver in a dollar, and there are 480 grains of pure silver iu a fine ounce. The coinage

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. 6929—, and the profit on the 371^ grains of pure silver in the
single dollar is $0.4586—, which is the difiference between the actual cost of the bulhon 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 lor 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
of 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 DUllion on hand November 1, 1893, when the purchasing clause of
that act was re_pealed, v^as 140,699,852.67 fine ounces, costing $126,758,280, 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 silver 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.
FOREIGN COINS NOT LEGAL TENDER.
Section 3,584 of the Revised Statutes of the United States provides that no foreign coins shall be a
legal tender m th« United States.

Electrical Progress in 1896, I
mittixit^l 3^xn^xtnn in 1896*
m GENERAL.
The depression of business consequent upon a presidential campaign was naturally felt in the elec-
trical field during the past year. The week prior to the election was the culmination of the previous
three years of hard times, and 1896 throughout its course was marked by conservative development in
the different branches of the electrical industry. And yet these twelve months compassed a number of
events which have already become historical. After the election a large number of electric railway and
lighting propositions were put under way, the necessary capital for tueir launching being immediately
forthcoming as soon as the result of the election was known. It is estimated that between November 6
and the end of the year no less than $20,000,000 of new capital was invested in electrical projects. Proba-
bly the most important and interesting discovery of the year was that of the X ray by Professor Roentgen,
which was announced in February. The scientific and lay press has thoroughly familiarized the public
with the wonderful achievements secured by means of this new discovery. Nikola Tesla devoted great
attention to the development and refinement of X-ray apparatus and to the purely scientific considera-
tion of the source and nature of the ray. Thomas Au Edison also made many experiments, and developed
the "fluoroscope," by means of which the humaneyemaysee through solid objects, such as blocks of
wood. Edison made exhaustive tests of the fluorescence of most of the chemical salts, and found that
trmgstate of calcium possessed the highest degree of fluorescence. Professor Elihu Thomson was another
prominent X-ray experimenter, and developed the Thomson focussing tube. There are about ten firms
now supplying X-ray apparatus in commercial forms to hospitals, physicians, and amateur investigators.
With the most powerful of this apparatus it is possible to actually see the beating of the heart of a
human being. Another important discovery was that of Dr. William W. Jacques, of Boston, who states
that he has invented a process by which a large percentageof the energy now wasted when coal is burned
may be converted directly into electricity. His apparatus is known as the "carbon electric generator,"
and is still in the experimental stage. The largest, most complete, and best attended exposition of
electrical apparat\is, devices, and inventions ever held was opened to the public in the Grand Central
Palace, New York City, in May. It was under the auspices of the National Electric Light Association,
which held its annual convention during the exposition. Every branch of the electrical industry was
splendidly represented, and the interest taken in the show by the lay public resulted in financial success.
About 150,000 people visited the exposition during the month it was open.
THE TELEGRAPH.
No startling inventions in telegraphy were brought out dtiring the year. The two large corporations
which control the telegraph business of the cormtry spent about the usual annual sums for the better-
ment and extension of their service, and several new offices were opened in large cities. Notable among
these is the new office of the Western Union Telegraph Company, in the EUicott Square building, Buffalo,
N. Y. It is regarded as the most complete and modem telegraph plant in the world. The contract
between the Western Union Telegraph and American Bell Telephone companies, growing out of early
transactions in the telephone field, and under which the latter paid royalties to the former, expired in
November. While the contract was in effect. Western Union received about $7,000,000 in royalties from
American Bell. An interesting feat in long-distance telegraphy occurred during the Electrical Exposi-
tion in New York City. On May 16 a cable message was sent around the world, from one side of the
exhibition building to the other. The message was written by Dr. CJiauncey M. Depew to Mr. E. D.
Adams, and was replied to by him. It was transmitted by President A, B. Chandler, of the Postal Tele-
graph-Cable Company, and received by Mr. Thomas A. Edison.
THE TELEPHONE.
The telephone continues to grow in favor by leaps and bounds as a means for rapid communication
for all classes of affairs. The phenomenal increase in the number of telephone subscribers which
occurred in 1895 continued through 1896 with but slight abatement, due to the prolonged business depres-
sion and to the derangement of affairs generally, caused by the presidential election, accentuated last
year by the uncertainty as to the real depth and extent of the silver movement. This great increase in
the use of telephones, amounting to over 200,900 for the two years, accrued almost entirely to the old-
established companies, and was most marked in the large cities, the New York City system, for example,
counting with some 17,000 stations at the end of 1896, as against 10,000 in 1894. The great improvement in
the service, brought about by the complete extension to all subscribers of the underground metallic cir-
cuit service, with long-distance telephones, and the practical reduction in the rates to a large class of
users flowing from the introduction of a system of rates dependent on the actual use made of the service,
are chiefly responsible for the increased popularity of the telephone. To these causes may be added the
growing familiarity of the public in general with the immense advantages for rapid and satisfactory
communication which the telephone possesses, as compared with any other method of making one's
wants and ideas known at a distance The long-distance system was greatly extended and added to dur-
ing 1896, notably in the Western and Southern States. The network of long-distance wires is now so
comprehensive, and is operated so harmoniously with the local systems of all the towns and cities which
it connects, that the whole of the country east of the Mississippi River is now, for all practical purposes,
one vast national telephone exchange Conversations over lines 1,500 miles long are of daily occurrence,
and are carried on as efficiently as those over local lines a mile or so in length. The various "opposi-
tion " telephone companies that have been started in different parts of the country since the expiring of
the Bell patent have, in many instances, bsen failures. Through unf.imiliarity with the requirements of
the business, the rates established by these concerns have generally been insufficient to pay working
expenses, and financial instability, together with inferior technical management and lack of patronage,
have prevented these enterprises from attaining any large measure of success. The recent presidential
election gave the telephone service a signal opportunity for displaying its qualities as a rapid and far-
reaching means of communication. Special arrangements were made by the Long-Distance Company for
collecting early information of election returns and for forwarding them, at the moment they were avail-
able, over their lines in all directions. The local companies receiving the returns directly from the Long-
Distance Company took up the work of distributing the information to their subscribers and the general
public. In New York this work was, perhaps, more thoroughly carried out than anywhere else. The
New York Telephone Company transmitted the news of the election as rapdily as it came in, to the
principal hotels and clubs in the city and to numerous subscribers whose telephone lines had previously
een specially grouped and connected for the purpose. At each subscriber's house large parties had

assembled, and the returns were thus communicated to some 20,000 people in private residences in
New York City before they were known to the inhabitants of the various towns throughout the country
from which they emanated. In the hotels and clubs the interest of the crowds was entirely centered in
the telephone bulletins, which were soon found to be some half-hour in advance of those transmitted by
telegraph. The entire service was offered by the New York Telephone Company, without charge, as a
compliment to its subscribers and patrons. During the Electrical Exposition, the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company set up a transmitter in the Cave of the Winds at Niagara Falls and transmitted
the "roar of Niagara" to a number of telephone receivers placed in the exposition hall. The official
report states that 100,000 persons heard the "roar of Niagara " during the exhibition.
ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
An important event in the electric lighting field was the granting of patents to Nikola Tesla for his
electrical oscillator, the development of which was seriously delayed by the burning of the inventor's
laboratory about two years ago. The oscillator is, roughly speaking, a machine which combines in one
the steam engine and dynamo. By this means a greatly increased efficiency and a large saving of floor
space are obtained. The oscillator is not ready to place upon the market in commercial form, but soon
should be, now that Tesla's patents have been granted. Several important improvements in arc lamps
designed to bum on incandescent lighting circuits were made. Arc lamps of this type are now obtainable
which will bum 150 hours without retrimming. The use of an interior globe in addition to the outside
globe obviates all danger of fire from falling sparks. Tesla, Edison, and Mr. D. McF. Moore annoimced
during the year the results of experimenting with vacuum tube lighting, generated by alternating cur-
rents of high frequency. Mr. Moore gave several exhibitions of his method of lighting. The light
resembles moonlight and gives off practically no heat. No important improvement iu incandescent
lamps was chronicled.
ELECTRIC POWER.
Considerable progress was made in the application of electric power to machinery formally operated
by steam. There are now a large number of newspaper printing presses run by direct-connected motors,
and during the year a prominent publishing house in New York opened a large press-room in which all
the presses are operated by electric motors. An electrical manufacturing company near New York City
runs its whole machine shop by means of motors attached directly to each piece of machinery. Great
improvements were made in the apparatus used for controlling electric motors employed for power pur-
poses. The electric elevator increased greatly in popularity, and elevators of this type were installed in
many of the finest buildings erected during the year. The sale of electric fan motors was fully as large
as in 1895, which was a record-breaking year. Electric mining machinery increased its popularity, and
several of the largest coal mines in the South and West were electrically equipped within the year.
LONG-DISTANCE TRANSMISSION.
The most interesting event during the year, as regards the long-distance transmission of electric
current, was celebrated on November 16. At that time 1,000 horse-power of electrical energy was sent
from the Niagara Falls Power Company's great plant at the Falls to Buffalo, N. Y., a distance of twenty-
six miles, there to be used in propelling the street cars of the Buffalo Railway Company. Since the cur-
rent was first used to run the cars this transmission scheme has been a perfect success and the cars have
been in continuous operation. Before the middle of 1897, 10,000 horse-power of electrical energy will be
transmitted from Niagara Falls to Buffalo. The transmission line between these two points is carried
on heavy poles for the whole distance, except about one mile inside the city limits of Buffalo, where an
underground conduit is used. The overhead wires are of bare copper laid on immense porcelain insulators
attached to the cross arms on the poles. When the line is completed to its ultimate capacity of 20,000
horse-power there will be twelve of these overhead wires in use. The final cost of the transmission line
alone will approximate $500,000. The system by which the current is carried is known as the Tesla poly-
phase system. The current is generated at Niagara Falls by a 5,000 horse-power alternating current
djmamo at 2,200 volts pressure. The current is then passed through transformers which raise the pres-
sure to 11,000 volts and it is sent out over the line. When it reaches Buffalo it is again passed through
transformers which lower the pressure to 370 volts. As the current, at present, is used to operate street
cars it must be changed from alternating to direct current. This is accomplished by means of machines
known as "rotary converters," which change the 370 volts alternating to 600 volts direct current, and it
is then ready to use to operate the cars. The longest electrical transmission ever attempted was success-
fully carried out during the Electrical Exposition in New York City, in May. About one-thirtieth of a
horse-power was transmitted from Niagara Falls to the exposition building, a distance of 453 miles. The
current was used to run a two-phase alternating current motor which operated a working model of the
Niagara Falls Power Company's plant. The current was carried on two wires which form a part of the
Western Union Telegraph Company's regular system between Niagara Falls and New York City. This
was a most wonderful achievement and created great interest among electricians all over the world.
The longest previous transmission was the Lauffen-Frankfort line, in Germany, about 110 miles in length.
A considerable number of new long-distance plants were^ installed during the year, chiefly in the West.
ELECTRIC RAILWAYS.
As in 1895, the electric railway field showed great activity and made great progress in 1896. Urban
passenger traffic is at present almost exclusively carried on by means of electric traction. The efforts of
street railway men, now that every town of any size is provided with its trolley cars, 'seem to be toward
the improvement of the service and the making of inter-urban connections. The Lake Street Elevated
Road in Chicago, operated by electricity, was opened during the year. The management now claims to
be saving $10,000 a month in operating expenses over the cost of running by steam power. It is believed
that plans have nearly been completed under which the elevated railways of New York City will adopt
electric traction. The steam locomotives formerly used for switching trains on the Brooklyn Bridge
have been discarded and electric locomotives are now in successful service. The Cincinnati, Hamilton
& Dayton Railroad decided in November to operate its suburban service out of Cincinnati by electricity.
Two more 96-ton electric locomotives have been added to the equipment of the Baltimore Belt Liiie
Tunnel plant.
From this sketch it will be gathered that although 1896 was the worst business year in the history of
the electrical industry, yet some very remarkable steps in progress were made.

TIME AND DISTANCE REQUIRED TO STOP STEAMERS.
The following calculations as to the length of time and distance required to stop a steam vessel go-
ing full speed ahead when the propelling machinery is reversed were made by W. D. Weaver, lat«
Assistant Engineer of the United States Navy, for London Engineer. Omitting the mathematical for-
mulas, Mr. Weaver' s conclusions are given for the Cunarder Etruria, the Italian ironclad Lepanto,
the United States naval vessels Columbia, Yorktown, Bancroft, and Cushing, and the Russian tor-
pedo boat Wiborg:

* By Empire State Express, t Six minutes, t Including stops. § Excluding stops. IT Exclusive
of stops, or 63. 61 miles per hour including stops. Made the trip from Chicago to New York, 952
miles, in 17 hours 45 minutes 23 seconds (or 54. 20 miles per hour including ten stops).
In making a comparison betv/een 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 105 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.
London to Paris— On a special run over the L. , C. & D. Rj^ to Paris, 2S7H miles (via Calais), for the Grand
Prix, running time 6 hours 30 minutes 12 seconds, or from 57.5 to 60.1 miles per hour.

(a) 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 1123^ miles an hour. This was done with locomotive 999
(afterwards exhibited at the World's Fair, at Chicago), the engineer being Charles Hogan.
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, and to New York via New York Central Rail-
road, 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}>^ miles, in 407 minutes actual time. Average speed
maintained, 64^^ miles an hour, with 2 stops and 28 slow-ups, as noted in above table.
The fastest regular trains in the United States, lor 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, excludhig 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 5 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.
Schedule time of fast running trains on Reading route to the sea— Camden to Pleasantville, 50.5
miles, in 44 minutes; West Collingwood to Pleasantville, 47.4 miles, in 39 minutes; Williamstown
Junction to Pleasantville, 33.5 miles, in 27 minutes; Winslow to Pleasantville, 26 miles, in 21 minutes;
ranging from 68.86 to 74.44 miles per hour, with trains of eight cars.
The quickest run between New York and Washington was made on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
November 28, 1891, by a special train, in 4 hours 11 minutes, making the running time, exclusive of
stops, 56?^ 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 time between the two oceans— 3 days 7 hours 39 minutes 16 seconds.

A SHIP CHANXEL Connecting the waters of the Great Lakes between Chicago, Duluth, and Buffalo,
giving channel 300 feet wide, 20 to 21 feet depth, under construction by engineers of the United
States Army, is approaching completion.
The Haklem River Ship CAN.A.L, connecting the Hudson Biver and Long Island Sound, by
way of Spuyten Duj'vil Creek and Harlem River, was opened for traffic on June 17, 1895, and cost
about $2,700,000.
Suez Canal.— The Suez Canal is ninety- two miles long and cost $102, 750,000. Three thousand,
four hundred and thirty-four ships, of 8,448,383 tons net, passed through the Suez Canal in 1895,
yielding $15,074,017 in dues. Total passengers on vessels, 216,936. Nearly 95 per cent of the
vessels were enabled to steam at night through the canal owing to the general use of the electric
light. As to the nationality of the vessels, the English were 2.318, German 314, French 278, Dutch
192, Austro- Hungarian 72, Italian 78, Norwegian 57, Turkish 38, Spanish 33, Russian 39, Portuguese
3, Egj'ptian 2, Japanese 2, American 5 (war ships 3, merchant vessels 2), Chinese 2, Danish 1,
Swedish 2.
J>Iaiichester Canal.— A statement of the traffic for the year 1895 shows a total tonnage of
1,358,875 using the canal, an increase of nearly 500,000 tons over the previous year. The total
receipts during 1895 were $683,800, as against $473,280 in 1894.
Baltic Canal.— During the eight mouths ending Februarj' 29, 1896, 8,800 vessels of 976,478 tons
have passed through from one sea to the other, the receipts not exceeding $144,001. The canal is only
frequented by vessels of small tonnage, the average not exceeding 110 tons. It is, of couree, a water-
way of great strategical importance for the Imperial fleets. It permits the German naval forces to
concentrate themselves either in one sea or the other in a very few hours. The expenses of the canal
amount to about $714:,0OO.—JRailu'ay Beview.
Panama Canal.— The Panama xStoJ-ajici Herald^ in a recent issue, said that the new Panama
Canal Company was doing practical work on the canal. The number of laborers emnloyed at the
different sections, including Panama, Colon, and La Boca, was 4,362. The work of deepening the
channel on the Pacific side of the canal has just been resumed, and, as a whole, more considerable
activity was apparent in connection with the work than had been seen for a long period. From the
last United States Consular report it was estimated that about $100,000,000 would be required to
complete the work, and it was alleged that $400,000,000 had already been expended on the under-
taking.
Nicaragua Canal was projected to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, using the waters of
Lake Nicaragua, Total distance from ocean to ocean, about 170 miles. In the report submitted by
the Nicaragua Canal Commission to President Cleveland, the estimated cost of construction is $133,-
472^93.
From New York to San Francisco by water the distance at present is 15,672 miles, or 31,344
miles the round trip; by the Nicaragua Canal the distance between the same points will be 5,636
miles, or 11^72 miles both ways, a saving of 10,036 miles each way, and of 20,072 miles on the
round trip. The distances in statute miles from New York to the Pacific Ocean by the principal land
and water routes are as follows: By water to Cape Horn, 7,897; by Southern Pacific Railroad,
"~ "" " " " 3,269; by Northern Pacific
the Nicaragua Canal route will
. .. .„^^„ brought by any railroad in exist-
ence, but when it is remembered that the western end of the canal is as far south of San Francisco as
the rail distance from New York to San Francisco, it will be seen that too much importance should
not be placed on these figures.

United States in 1890, there were 57,310 of purely white blood, 24,277 negroes, 407 Chinese, 13 Jap-
anese, and 322 Indians.
Of the 114, 620 parents of the white 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 ICnglish 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 foreign born, and
24, 354 unknown as to birthplace. Omitting the unknown, as in the case of prisoners, 41. 56 per cent
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 English, 2,012 English Canadians, 1,392 Scotch, and 1, 368 Swedish. Othernationalities
were below 1,000.
* Statistics of pauperism apply only to inmates of almshouses. Outdoor paupers are not considered
and there is no way of ascertaining 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, specia'. 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 Junel, 1890, the number charged with homicide was
7,386, or 8. 97j)er cent.
Omitting 3o who were charged with double crimes, 6,058 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 4,42o 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 is 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 employed 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. The 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 PUNISHiyiENT.
Theonly States in which the death penalty is forbidden by law are Rhode Island, Maine, and
Wisconsin. In Rhode Island, the onl3' alternative is imprisonment for life. The death penalty
is inflicted in all the States for murder, except the three above named ; 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, and robbery; in Georgia, for rape, mayhem,
and arson; m Missouri, for perjury and rape; in Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina, and Missis-
sippi, for rape and arson ; in Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Texas, and Arkansas, for rape; in Mon-

The figures in the first column represent manslaughter of all kinds when perpetrated bj;^ an individual,
vrhether by premeditation or passion, or by an insane person, or in self-defence, rioting, duels, and
resisting arrest by officers of the law. The number of nomicides in the year 1894 is swollen by the
deaths of rioters and others in the strike disturbances of July. The percentage of executions to
killings in the ten years included in the tiible is 2. 20. The percentage of killmgs to total deaths
from all causes, same period (estimated), is 0. 52, or about 52 per 10,000.
The table above was compiled from a record kept and printed annually by the Chicago Tribune.
Ohio and South Carolina legislated against lynching in 1896. See page 132.
Italy takes the lead of European nations, with an average annual crop of murders of 2, 470, a ratio
perl0,000deathsof 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 in the United
States table.
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. —Compiledfrom Mulhall.

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.

m.atters, 4; poverty, want, 4; loss of intellect, 14^ consequence of crimes, 3; unknown reasons, 19.
The number of suicides in tlie United States, six years, 1882-87, was 8, 226. Insanity was the prin-
cipal cause, shooting the favorite method ; 5,386 acts of suicide were committed in the day, and 2,419
in the night. Summer was the favorite season, June the favorite month, and the 11th the favorite day
of the month. The month in which the largest number of suicides occur is July.
The number of suicides in ten American cities in 1895 was as follows: New York, 376; Chicago,
350- Brooklyn, 161; St. Louis, 134; San Francisco, 110; Philadelphia, 95; Boston, 77 ; Cincinnati,
66; Baltimore, 43; Providences 11.
The suicides in New York City during the period 1885-90, inclusive, per million of inhabitants,
according to color and nativity, were as follows: White, 212.4; colored, 96.3; Germans, 284.3; Eng-

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 oflTence 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 assist 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
iiLStruction in the penal institutions where it does not exist already.
Subscriptions to membership and donations of money are solicited. The payment of $500 con-
stitutes a life patron and $100 an honorary life member. Annual membership by payment of $6
entitles to all publications of the society and participation in its regular meetings.

The above table is on the authority of Mulhall, as are also the following statements:
Caxcek. —Mental worry^ays 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 were males and 11,222 females.
GoiTEE.— There are 420,000 goitrous people in France and two per cent of conscripts are rejected
for this cause.
Lepkosy. —There are 131, 618 lepers in India, 98, 982 being males and 32, 636 females. No other
country in the world approaches India in this respect.
Plaques. —There were 196 destructive plagues in Europe from 1500 to 1840, but the most terrible
recorded was that commonly known as the Black Death, which came from Persia into Europe in 1346.
It was 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 hours. In Europe it lasted four years, and was supposed to have carried off 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 suftered were: London, 100,000 deaths; Florence,
100,000; Valencia, 100,000; Venice, 70,000; Naples, 60,000; Paris, 50,000; Genoa and Vienna,

The statistics for 1865 are from M. de Foville's work, "France Economique. " Those for 1885
from MulhalL The figures for 1893 are on the authority of the Registrar-General of England. The
most important fact to be learned from them is the steady decrease of the birth rate in most European
nations.
Iw"'- Statistique Humaine de la France, " M. J. Eertillon presents the following table, showing that
the French are the least prolific and the Germans the most prolific people of Europe:
Number of children born alive annually per 1,000 women of 15 to 50 j'ears: France, 102 ; Ireland,
114; Belgium, 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 31.0.

The United States Hay Fever Association was organized at Bethlehem, N. H. , in 1874, by hay-
fever refugees at that and neighboring places of exemption in the White Mountains, Henry Ward
Beecher being one of the number. The purposes of the organization are the investigation of the causes
of and of reported remedies for the malady. Membership can be acquired by the payment of an annual
fee of one dollar, sent to the Secretary, which entitles the member to all privileges and publications of
the Society. The annual convention is held at Bethlehem the last Tuesday of August, with sessions
iQ September, all of whichpartake of the nature of experience meetings.
Iso cure for hay fever has been discovered; indeed, it was a saying of Mr. Beecher that the only
possible cure for hay fever was ' 'six feet of gravel. ' ' There are certainly spots on earth where many
of these 'peculiar people' ' may enjoy entire or partial exemption during the season. Among the most
notable of these are parts of the White Mountains and the Adirondacks; Mackinaw, Mich. ; South
Flonda, Southern California, the ocean generally, Europe (for Americans) and America (for Euro-
peans). The wise hay-fevente, on the approach of his fatal date, does not dally with nostrums, but
takes to his heels.

Bccortrs x\\ Uttal statistics.
Barrknness.— One womaii in 20 and one man in 30 are barren— that is, 4 per cent of population.
It is found that one marriage in 20 is barren, say 5 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.— 3/ui/iaii.
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, 1}^ per cent of all mothers die sooner or later in childbirth.— ilfui/iaM.
Illegitimacy.— Of each 1 000 births, the number illegitimate, according to statistics 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; Prance, 84; Hungary, 85; Belgium, 88; Denmark,
93; Sweden, 101; Saxony, 125; Bavaria, 141; Austria, 147. No accurate statistics for the United
States exist. The lowest rate in Europe is that of Counaught, in Western Ireland, 7 per 1,000.— Dr.
Albert Leffingwell, Summit, N. J.
Human Fecundity,— In "Statistique Humaine de la France, " M. J. Bertillon presents the fol-
lowing table, showing that the French are the least prolific and the Germans the most prolific people
of Europe. Number of children born alive annually per 1,000 women of 15 to 50 years: France, 102;
Ireland, 114; Belgium, 127; England, 136; Netherlands, 137; Spain, 141; Prussia, 150; Bavaria,
156. Aristotle mentions a woman who had 5 children at a birth four times successively; Menage,
one who had 21 children in seven years. The Empress Catherine received a Russian woman in 1757
(Mrs. James Kyrlofi) who had 57 children, all of whom were then living, having been born thus: 16 in
four confinements, 21 in seven confinements, 20in ten confinements,orinall57childrenin twenty-one
confinements. This woman' s husband married again, and hissecondwifehad 15 children inseven con-
finements. Fedor Vassileff, of Moscow (1782), had 83 children living when pensioned by the Czar.
He had 69 children by his first wife at twents'-seven births. Lucas Saez, who was livingin Spain in 1883,
then had 197 descendants. Mrs.George Hirsch,of Dallas, Tex. , is reported, November, 1888, as having
been confined of 6 children, 4 boys and 2 girls. (The above was compiled from Mulhall. ) Marie
Juneau, of Guayaquil, Ecuador, in 1892, was delivered of 7 children at one birth. In 1818 in Mercer
County, Pa. , 10 children were born of one mother within 12 months— five at each of two births. The
mother died about a year after the second birth, but meantime gave birth to twins, thus producing 12
children in 20 months. She was 37 years old at her death. A Mr. Browning, of Huntington, W.
Va. , was reported, in 1892, to be the father of 67 children by 6 wives, and Joiin Kingsley, of Y,ost
Creek, Carter County, Tenn. , had his sixty-first child by his sixth wife, 50 of his children then being
nUve. The following statement appeared in the Louisville Courier- Joxii'nal, November 29, 1893: ' 'In
eHustonville neighborhood near Lawrenceburg, Ky. , there resides a married couple, Samuel and
Dgeline Jeffries, aged 76 years each, whose lives are worthy of note, inasmuch as they have so
alive. The following statement appeared in the Louisville Courier- JouitmI, November 29, 1893: ' 'In
the:" ' ■ " - - - - ^ - -
Angeline Jeffries, aged 76 years each, whose lives are worthy of note, inasmuch as they have so
strictly obeyed the scriptural injunction to ' multiply and replenish the earth. ♦ Mr. JeflPries furnishes
the following marvelous record: ' We were married six years before a child was born, but 15 years
from that day my wife was the proud mother of 19 children, 7 pairs of twins. Within 11 months 4
children were born (two sets of twins), making 4 at one time not walking. There were 14 of us in my
father's family— 10 brothers, including myself, and 4 sisters. The 10 brothers had 34 pairs of twins,
but the sisters none. Two of these brothers were twins who went to Missouri and married twin sis-
ters, and each had 7 pairs of twins born to them. ' ' '
Animal Fecundity.— The elephant, camel, and horse very seldom produce more than 1 at a
time,the lion l,oftener 2 or 3,sometimes 5 or more. The fecundity of the domestic rabbit is marvelous.
It begins to breed at six months, and has seven litters a year, each of from 4 to 12, or upward. It is
calculated that the descendants of a single pair of rabbits, if allowed, full scope, would in four years
amount to one and a half millions. The rabbit introduced into Australia has now overrun that conti-
nent to such excess as to demand special legislation for its suppression.
Human Precocity.— Otto Pohlert, son of a butcher of Brunswick (Germany), at the age of two
years, reads and writes in German and Latin fluently, and pronounces, without difficulty, the most
difficult vf or(5i%.— Magdeburg Zeitung.
Human Obesity.— John Hanson Craig, of Danville, Hendricks County, Ind., in 1893, at the age
of thirty- two years, weighed 907 pounds. At eleven months old he weighed 77 pounds, and at two
years of age, 206 pounds. He is 6 feet 5 inches high. His wife, a snake charmer, weighed 130
pounds. They traveled with Barnum as freaks. Daniel Lambert, the traditional fattest man of
England, weighed 739 pounds at his maximum.
.:Statt jFlotDtrs.
The following are ' ' State Flowers, ' ' as adopted in most instances by the votes of the public
school scholars of the respective States :
Alabama Golden Rod
Colorado Columbine
Delaware Peach Blossom
Idaho Syringia
Maine Pine Cone and Tassel
Minnesota Cjrpripodium or Moccasin Flower
Montana Bitter Root
Nebraska Golden Rod
New York Rose
Oklahoma Territory Mistletoe
Oregon Golden Rod
Utah *Sego Lily
Vermont * Bed Clover
* Adopted by State Legislature, not by public school scholars.
In other States the scholars or State Legislatures have not yet taken action. In Rhode Island and
Wisconsin a vote was taken for a State tree, resulting in the selection of the Maple; that tree is also
the choice of the New York scholars. In the State of Washington the Rhododendron is the choice of
many for the State flower, but has not been adopted. In Michigan, some of the Grange organizations
have voted for the Clover, many in Northern Michigan prefer the Trailing Arbutus, but the large
majority have voted for the Golden Rod. An attempt was made in 1896 to hold a National convention
at Asheville, N. C. , to determine upon a National flower, to recommend to Congress for adoption.
There were but seven States represented, however, at this meeting, which was held October 22, and
it was decided to adjourn the convention until a larger attendance could be secured. An informal
canvass of the delegates, who were mainly from the East and South, revealed the Columbine as the
favorite flower for the National emblem. The local secretary at Asheville, N. C. , of this move-
ment, is Edwin A. Taylor
220 Regents^ Examinations.
Begents' examinations under the control of tlie University of the State of New York (offlat,
Albany, N. Y. ), will be held in 1897 at the following times and places:

CHAMPIONSHIP OF AMEBICA.
From 1884 to 1890, inclusive, the winners of the respective pennants of the National League 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 League'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 play 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.

INTERCOLLEGIATE BASEBALL, 1896.
The Intercollegiate League has varied in membership almost every year since its organization.
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.
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. Harvard' s challenge for a deciding game was declined on diplomatic grounds. In the 1893
series Yale and Harvard again tied each other, and the deciding game was played at the Polo Grounds,
New York Citj', 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 winning.
In 1896 Yale and Princeton played for the championship in New Haven, Princeton winning. It
required five games to decide the championship.

LONG DISTANCE THROWING RECORDS.
October 15, 1872— John Hatfield, of the Mutuals, threw the ball 133 yards 1 foot 1%, inches, at
the Union Grounds, Brooklyn.
September 9, 1882— Ed. Williamson, of Chicago, threw the ball 132 yards 1 foot, at the Chicago
Grounds.
October 12, 1884— Ed. Crane, of the Boston Unions, is alleged to have topped the record with a
throw of 135 yards 1 foot 3^ inch, at Cincinnati.
Ed. Williamson won the Cincinnati competition in 1888, with a throw of 133 yards 11 inches.
The shortest 9- inning game on record was played on the Excelsior Grounds, Brooklyn, May, 1861,
by the Excelsior and Field clubs; time, 50 minutes.
The longest game on record was played at Boston, May 11, 1877. The Manchester and Harvard
College teams played 24 innings ; score, 0 to 0.
The longest championship game on record was played at Tacoma, May 16, 1891, between the
Tacoma and Seattle teams. The Tacomas won in 22 innings ; score, 6 to 5.
In 1895 Hogan, of the Indianapolis Club, lowered the base running record, making the circuit in

performance Harry Berthrong' s record of 14 2-5 seconds was the standard, made in Washington in
1868.
CeickeT continues to make steady, if slow, progress throughout the United States. The cham-
pionship games were well attended during the season of 1896, and the metropolitan organizations,
which have the management of the game in hand, were well satisfied with the year's results. The

At a convention held in New York City September 9, 1895,a permanent organization was effected,
known as the American Bowling Congress. The membershipof the American Bowling Congress now
comprises all the principal tournament organizations throughout the United States. The American
Amateur Bowling Union rules were revised. The most important change was the adoption of a "two-
ball game. ' ' Previously three balls were allowed a competitor in each frame. The discarding of the
third ball has lessened the playing time of a game considerably.
The Interstate Bowling League was organized in Brooklyn November 21,1895.

YACHTING IN 1896.
If the success of the yachting season may be gauged by the numberof vessels built and races
sailed, then the year 1896 will pass into history as a record breaker, for it is a fact that more yachts of
all types and sizes have been built and saiied in American waters than in any previous year.
Although there was no match race between big sloops for the possession of that time-honored
trophy, the America's Cup, two international races of minor proportions were sailed. One was be-
tween the half- raters Glencairn and El Heirie, the former being the Canadian challenger for and the
latter the American defender of the Seawanhaka-Corinthian Yacht Club's Challenge Cup— quite as
handsome a piece of silverware, by the way, as the America's Cup. The other event was between
the American challenger Vencedor and the Canadian defender Canada^ This contest, sailed on
Lake Erie, off Toledo, Ohio, was for the championship of the lakes,a $250 silver cup, and $1,500 in
gold, offered by the International Yacht Race Association and the Chamber of Commerce of that city.
The Vencedor was designed by Poeckel and built by the Racine Boat Works fur Commodore E.
C. Berriman (of the Lincoln Park Yacht Club, of Chicago), his brother Matthew, and some other
yachtsmen of that city. The Canada, owned by a Toronto syndicate, was designed by Will Fife, of
Scotland. Herframes were sent out, and she was then quickly built at Oakvilie.Ont. She wasputin
charge of Commodore iEmilius Jarvis, of the Royal Canadian Yacht Club, of Toronto, which had ac-
cepted the challenge. He sailed the yacht in her races. It was the best two out of three, and the
Canada won easily. It was generally conceded that the Vencedor lost through inferior handling.
The first course was a twelve-mile triangle, four miles to the leg, sailed twice over; and the second five
miles to windward and return, sailed twice over. The Lincoln Park Yacht Club challenged again at
the conclusion of the last race.

For the Atlantic Yacht Club, of Bay Ridge, the season was an exceedingly prosperous one. Com-
modore George J, Gould offered $10, 000 in prizes to be sailed for during the season. Prizes were also
offered by Vice-Commodore F. T, Adams and the other flag officers. The result was a splendid
programme of events, including the most successful cruise in the history of the club.
Liberal prizes were offered by the New York Yacht Club for its annual regatta, and for the cruise.
The latter event was reudered specially interesting by the advent of the former sloop Colonia in the
schooner class. With a centreboard added. Skipper Barr at the helm, and a crack crew, she proved a
little too fast for the hitherto invincible Emerald.
There are now in active operation in the United States 230 yacht clubs, having an average mem-
bership of 150, making a ^and total of 34,500 yachtsmen, of whom about 10,000 own yachts. Of
these yachts about one- third are steamers, from the palatial craft costing $500,000 to the little
$1,000 naphtha launch. Of schooners there are some two thousand, the rest being of the sloop, cat,
and other types.
The large steam yachts built in the United States in 1896 include M, C. D, Borden's Sovereign
(251 ft. 6 m.), Eugene Tompkins' Illawarra, P. A. B. Widener's Josephine (225 ft.), F. A.
Schermerhorn's Free Lance (137 ft), Louis Bossert's Mayita (85 ft.), J. P.Duncan's Kanawha
(140 ft.), F. W. Morgan's Pathfinder (145 ft.), Stephen Roach's Parthenia (142 ft.), W. J. Con-
nor's Enquirer (145 ft).
The new schooners included C. A. Postley's Colonia (altered from a sloop), H. W. Harris'
Quissetta (67 L. W. L.), H. Foster Otis' Avalon (79 ft.).
Few large sloops were built, but plenty of small racing yachts. For the 30-foot class, which
became so popular, Herreshoff turned out a dozen boats. Fifty of the 15-foot yachts, erroneously
called " half- raters, ' ' were built in New York and Boston. The races in both these classes furnished
plenty ot sport, all the principal clubs offering prizes to encourage competition.
"Race week" atLarchmont was an innovation that added materially to the popularity of the
superb yacht club bearing that name. Yachts from all clubs were invited— there were classes for
all, wind and weather to suit, and social functions galore.
The good work accomplished by the yacht-racing associations of Massachusetts, New York, Long
Island Sound, and the Great Lakes cannot be overestimated. By the formulating of equitable measure-
ment and classification rules, by the new arrangement of racing dates, and by the excellf^nt manage-
ment of the events, these organizations have practicallj^ revolutionized racing. The winners in the
East, of the medals rnd pennants, in their five respective classes were: The Ida J,, Gleaner, Arab,
Alpine, and Elsa. Twenty boats competed in the knockabout class, and the Cock Robin was chanx-
pion. She won every race she started in.
At the meetings of the New York and Larchmont Yacht Clubs, held in October, new rules of
measurement and classification were adopted, restricting draught in all yachts launched after
November 1, 1896, except the 80- foot class of sloops.
In a letter dated September 28, Howard Gould, owner of the fin keel sloop Niagara, asked the
Yacht Racing Association, of England, for an explanation of its discourtesy in boarding his yacht
in June and examining her tanks. Its reply was thac no discourtesv was intended.
In October the Royal London Yacht Club declined -to forward, for one of Its members— Sir George
Newnes— his challenge for the America' s Cup, on the prouni that it repudiates the present deed of
gift. The proposition of the challenger to sail the races off Halifax, N, S,, was ridiculed here.
The steam yachts built in England for American owners during the past eighteen months were:
The Varuna (300 ft.), for Eugene Higgins; Margarita II. (285 ft,), for A. J. Drexel; Arcturus
(169 ft, 6 in,), for Rutherford Siuyvesant, and theSaldanha (321 ft.), for Ogden and Robert Gtoelet.
On August 24, in a race of six miles off Newport, R. I,, for a gold cup offered by Mrs. O. H. P.
Belmont, the 15- footer Ideal, owned by H. O. Havemeyer, Jr., was beaten by W. K.Vanderbilt, Jr.'s,
Osprey. She is a Herreshoff nn keel,
Mrs. John R. Fell, of the New York Yacht Club, owning the steam yacht Barracouta, purchased
for$100,000 from ex-Commodore E. D. Morgan, in September, the steam yacht May (226 ft.T.in which
she will make a cruise around the world. The other women who are flag members of the New York
Yacht Club are Mrs. Lucy Carnegie (st. y. Dungeness), Miss Susan DeForrest Day (st. y. Scythian),
and Miss Breese (st. y. Elsa).
The Ogdensburg Yacht CluW s $300 Cup for 15- footers, sailed for on the St. Lawrence July 28,
was won by Paul Butler' s Vesper.
Out of a fleet of twenty-eight 15- foot yachts built to defend the Seawanhaka-Corinthian Yacht
Club's Challenge Cup, the El Heirie, owned by Crane Bro3.,wa3 chosen after the trial races of June 22,
23, and 24.

Note— In minnow casting for black bass, Mr. Davidson used a half-ounce sinker. Mr. Sturges
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 an
exhibition cast, before reliable witnesses, of 151 feet 3 inches.
t This distance was made by measuring the line after casting.
t This cast of Messrs. Marston and Clark is given in English reports as the best, but for some un-
known reason Mr. Wood's cast of 82 feet 6 inches and Mr. George M Kelson's cast of 81 feet have
been entirely overlooked, although both are records at an international tournament.
iln Thames casting the line is coiled at the feet of the caster.
In Nottingham casting the cast is made from the reel, as is done in America.

THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS.
The All Comers' tournament began at Newport on August 18, 1896, ending August 25. Robert
D. Wrenn regained the championship in a most sensational series of contests, defeating Hallowell, his
brothers. Everts Wrenn and G. \x. Wrenn, Jr. ; Neel, and Lamed, and downing Champion Hovey, 7—5,
3—6,6—0,1—6,6-1. Larned was a strong favorite and played brilliantly until the final round, in
which he lost to Wrenn after winning the first two sets. Wrenn won by 4—6, 3—6, 6—4, 6—4, 6—3.
Wrenn had several narrow escapes. In the first round he was in poor condition, and only a shower
of rain saved him from a defeat at the hands of Hallowell, whom he beat easily the next day. In
the semi-finals he beat Neel by 2—6, 14—12, 4—6, 6—4, 6—4. A single point for Neel in the second
set would have given him the match. Hovey also had an easy chance to win the first set in the chal-
lenge round.
The winners of the doubles championship were the Neel brothers, who won the Western cham-
pionship for the third successive time, won the East I's. West match from the Eastern champions,
Hobartand Hovey (4— 6, 8— 6, 4— 6, 6— 4, 6— 4), and thus becoming the challengers, beat Champions
Wrenn and Chace 6—3, 1 —6, 6— 1,3— 6, 6—1. The Western championship was played at Chicago in
July, the Eastern championship and East vs. West match at Narragansett Pier, R. I., in August, and
the final contest at Newport on the opening day of the All Comers' tournament,
The women's contests at Philadelphia in June resulted in the victory of Miss Moore in singles,
Miss Moore and Miss Atkinson in doubles, and Mr. Fischer and Miss Atkinson in mixed doubles.
liAKNED'S TOUK.
W. A. Larned, one of the strongest American players, made a tour of the English competitions,
playing at Dublin (Irish championships), Chiswick Park, Liverpool (Northern championships),
Queen's Club (London), Bristol (Western championships), and Wimbledon (All-England champion-
ships). At Wimbledon he lost to H. Baddeley in the third round (3—6, 3—6, 6—4, 6—4, 6—4). During
his trip he beat Martin, Simond, Nisbet, Cazalet, E.R.Allen, and H. Baddeley, and lost to Eaves,
Greville, M. L. Doherty, Mahony (twice), and H. Baddelej". .
Foote also visited England, playing at Wimbledon, and losing to Cazalet in the second round.

(Note.— In throwing the hammer and putting the shots of different weights, as well as the 56-lb.
weight, there are a number of amateur and protessional records that have never been authenticated,
and we must refrain from giving them a place in The World Almanac. We only give those whose
validity cannot be questioned.— Ed.)
DISCUS-THROWING.
Note.— The discus is a solid wheel of lignum vitse, measuring about 8J^ inches in diameter and
weighing a little less than 4J^ pounds. It is thrown from a 9- foot square, and in deliverj^ the athlete
may assume any^ position he pleases, but must not overstep the boundary until the missile is delivered.
The game is an importation from Greece.

IN THE UNITED STATES.
(Statistics compiled by the United States Commissioner of Labor. )
Thk following is a summary of the Statistics of Building and Loan Associations in the United
States, 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
is 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 association. The distribution of
these associations, by States, is shown as follows:

One of the most interesting facts shown by the report relates to the age of the associations. While
building and loan associations had their birth in the decade of years from 1840 to 1850, 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 5,146 associa-
tions out of the whole number under 15 years of age. There are but 433 over 15 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 prooortions during the last ten or fifteen years. This, in
connection with the fact that they have net assets of over $450,000,000, have made total profits of
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 loan associations have taken upon the
public. —Commissioner Wright.

THE LAWS OF WHIST ADOPTED BY THE AMERICAN WHIST CONGRESS AS REVISED
AT THE THIRD CONGRESS, CHICAGO, JUNE 20-24, 1893.
THE GAME.
1. A game consists of seven points, each trick above six counting one. The value of the grame is
determined by deducting the losers' score from seven.
FORMING THE TABLE.
2. Those first in the room have the preference. If, by reason of two or more arriving at the same
time, more than four assemble, the preference among the last comers is determined by cutting, a lower
cut giving the preference over all cutting higher. A complete table consists of six; the four having the
preference play. Partners are determined by cutting ; the highest two play against the lowest two ; the
lowest deals and has the choice of seats and cards.
3. If two players cut intermediate cards of equal value, they cut again; the lower of the new cut
plays with the original lowest.
4. If three players cut cards of equal value, they cut again. If the fourth has cut the highest card,
the lowest two of the'new cut are partners and the lowest deals. If the fourth has cut the lowest card,
he deals and the highest two of the new cut are partners.
5. At the end of a game, if there are more than four belonging to the table, a sufficient number of
the players retire to admit those awaiting their turn to play. In determining which players remain in,
those who have played a less number of consecutive games have the preference over all who have
played a greater number; between two or more who have played an equal number, the preference is
determined by cutting, a lower cut giving the preference over all cutting higher.
6. To entitle one to enter a table, he must declare his intention to do so before any one of the
players has cut for the purpose of commencing a new game or of cutting out.
CUTTING.
7. In cutting, the ace is the lowest card. All must cut from the same pack. If a player exposes
more than one card, he must cut again. Drawing cards from the outspread pack may be resorted to in
place of cutting.
SHUFFLING.
8. Before every deal the cards must be shuffled. When two packs are used the dealer' s partner
must collect and shuffle the cards for the ensuing deal and place them at his right hand. In aU cases
the dealer may shuffle last.
9. A pack must not be shuffled during the play of a hand, nor so as to expose the face of any card.
CUTTING TO THE DEALER.
10. The dealer must present the pack to his right-hand adversary to be cut; the adversary must
take a portion from the top of the pack and place it toward the dealer; at least four cards must be left
in each packet ; the dealer must reunite the packets by placing the one not removed in cutting upon the
other.
11. If, in cutting or in reuniting the separate packets, a card is exposed the pack must be reshuffled
by the dealer and cut again ; if there is any confusion of the cards or doubt as to the place where the
pack was separated there must be a new cut.
12. If the dealer reshuffles the pack after it has been properly cut he loses his deal.
DEALING.
13. When the pack has been properly cut and reunited the dealer must distribute the cards, one at
a time, to each player in regular rotation, beginning at his left. The last, which is the trump card,
must be turned up before the dealer. At the end of the hand, or when the deal is lost, the deal passes
to the player next to the dealer on his left and sc on to each in turn.
14. There must be a new deal by the same dealer:
I. If any card except the last is faced in the pack.
II. If, during the deal or during the play of the hand, the pack is proved Incorrect or Imper-
fect; but any prior score made with that pack shall stand.
15. If, during the deal, a card is exposed the side not in fault may demand a new deal provided
neither of that side has touched a card. If a new deal does not take place the exposed card is not liable
to be called.
16. Any one dealing out of turn or with his adversaries' pack may be stopped before the trump
card is turned, after which the deal is valid and the packs, if changed, so remain.
MISDEALING.
17. It is a misdeal :
I. If the dealer omits to have the pack cut and his adversaries discover the error before the
trump card is turned and before looking at any of their cards.
II. If he deals a card incorrectly and fails to correct the error before dealing another.
IIL If he counts the cards on the table or in the remainder of the pack.
IV. If, having a perfect pack, he does not deal to each player the proper number of cards and
the error is discovered before all have played to the first trick.
V. If he looks at the trump card before the deal is completed.
VI. If he places the trump card face downwards upon his own or any other player's cards.
A misdeal loses the deal, unless, during the deal, either of the adversaries touches a card or in any
other manner interrupts the dealer.
THE TRUMP CARD,
18. The dealer must leave the trump card face upwards on the table until it is his turn to play
to the first trick ; if it is left on the table until after the second trick has been turned and quitted it is
liable to be called. After it has been lawfully taken up, it must not be named, and any player
naming it is liable to have his highest or his lowest trump called by either adversary. A player may,
however, ask what the trump suit is.
IRREGULARITIES IN THE HANDS.
19. If, at any time after all have played to the first trick, the pack being perfect, a player is found
254 American WTiist.
AMERICAN V^Bl^T— Continued.
to have either more or less than his correct number of cards and his adversaries have their right num-
ber, the latter, upon the discovery of such surplus or deficiency, may consult and shall have the choice:
I. To have a new deal ; or
II. To have the hand played out, in which case the surplus or missing card or cards are not
taken into account.
If either of the adversaries also has m.ore or less than his correct number, there must be a new
deal.
If any player has a surplus card by reason of an omission to play to a trick, his adversaries can
exercise the foregoing privilege only after he has played to the trick following the one in which such
omission occurred.
CAEDS LIABLE TO BE CALLED.
30. The following cards are liable to be called by either adversary:
I. Every card faced upon the table otherwise than in the regular course of play, but not
including a card led out of turn.
IL Every card thrown with the one led or played to the current trick. The player must
indicate the one led or played.
III. Every card so held by a player that his partner sees any portion of its face.
IV. All the cards in a hand lowered or shown by a player so that his partner sees more than
one card ot it.
V. Every card named by the player holding it.
21. All cards liable to be called must be placed and left face upwards on the table. A player must
lead or play them when they are called, provided he can do so without revoking. The call may be
repeated at each trick until the card is played. A player cannot be prevented from leading or playing
a card liable to be called ; if he can get rid of it in the course of play, no penalty remains.
22. If a player leads a card better than any of his adversaries hold of the suit, and then leads one
or more other cards without waiting for his partner to play, the latter may be called upon by either
adversary to take the first trick, and the other cards thus improperly plaj'ed are liable to be called: it
makes no difference whether he plays them one after the other, or throws them all on the table
together, after the first card is played, the others are liable to be called.
23. A player having a card liable to be called must not play another until the adversaries have
stated whether or not they wish to call the card liable to the penalty. If he plays another card without
awaiting the decision of the adversaries, such other card also is liable to be called.
LEADLSra OUT OF TURN.
24. If any player leads out of turn, a suit may be called from him or his partner the first time it is
the turn of either of them to lead. The penalty can be enforced only by the adversary on the right of
the player from whom a suit can lawfully be called.
If a player so called on to lead a suit has none of it, or if all have played to the false lead, no penalty
can be enforced. If all have not played to the trick, the cards erroneously played to such false lead are
not liable to be called, and must be taken back.
PLAYING OUT OF TURN.
25. If the third hand plays before the second, the fourth hand also may play before the second.
26. If the third hand has not played, and the fourth hand plays before the second, the latter may
be called upon by the third hand to play his highest or lowest card of the suit led, or, if he has none, to
trump or not to trump the trick.
ABANDONED HANDS.
27. If all four players throw their cards on the table, face upwards, no further play of that hand is
permitted. The result of the hand, as then claimed or admitted, is established, provided that, if a re-
voke is discovered, the revoke penalty attaches.
REVOKING.
28. A revoke is a renounce in error not corrected in time. A player renounces in error when,
holding one or more cards of the suit led, he plays a card of a different suit.
A renounce in error may be corrected by the player making it, before the trick in which it occurs
has been turned and quitted, unless either he or his partner, whether in his right turn or otherwise, has
led or played to the following trick, or unless his partner has asked whether or not he has any of the
suit renounced.
29. If a player corrects his mistake in time to save a revoke, the card improperly played by him is
liable to be called ; any player or players, who have played after him, may withdraw their cards and
substitute others ; the cards so withdrawn are not liable to be called.
30. The penalty for revoking is the transfer of two tricks from the revoking side to their adver-
saries; it can be enforced for as many revokes as occur during the hand. The revoking side cannot
win the game in that hand ; if both sides revoke, neither can win the game in that hand.
31. The revoking player and his partner may require the hand in which the revoke has been
made to be played out, and score all points made by them up to the score of six.
32. At the end of the hand the claimants of a revoke may search all the tricks. If the cards
have been mixed, the claim may be urged and proved, if possible; but no proof is necessary, and the
revoke is established, if, after it has been claimed, the accused plaj'^er or his partner mixes the cards be-
fore they have been examined to the satisfaction of the adversaries.
33. The revoke can be claimed at any time before the cards have been presented and cut for the
following deal, but not thereafter.
MISCELLANEOUS.
34. Any one, during the play of a trick and before the cards have been touched for the purpose of
gathering them, together, may demand that the players draw their cards.
35. If any one, prior to his partner jilaying, calls attention in any manner to the trick or to the
score, the adversary last to play to the trick may require the offender's partner to play his highest or
lowest of the suit led, or, if he has none, to trump or not to trump the trick.
36. If any player says: "I can win the rest," "The rest are ours," "We have the game, " or
words to that effect, his partner's cards must be laid upon the table and are liable to be called.
37. When a trick has been turned and quitted, it must not again be seen until after the hand has
been played. A violation of this law subjects the offender's side to the same penalty as in case of a
lead out of turn.
38. If a player is lawfully called upon to play the highest or lowest of a suit, or to trump or not to

AMERICAN WSl^T—Continued.
trump a trick, or to lead a suit, and unnecessarily fails to comply, he is liable to the same penalty as If
he had revoked,
39. In all cases where a penalty has been incurred, the oflFender must await the decision of the ad-
versaries. If either of them, with or without his partner' s consent, demands a penalty, to which they
are entitled, such decision is final. If the wrong adversary demands a penalty or a wrong penalty is
demanded, none can be enforced.
THE ETIQUETTE OF WHIST,
AS ADOPTED BY THE THIBD AMERICAlSr WHIST CONGRESS, CHICAGO, JUNE
20-24, 1893.
The following rules belong to the established code of "^Tiist Etiquette. They are formulated with a
view to discourage and repress certain improprieties of conduct, therein pointed out, which are not
reached by the laws. The courtesy which marks the intercourse of gentlemen will regulate other more
obvious cases.
I. No conversation should be indulged in during the play except such as is allowed by the laws of
the game.
II. No player should in any manner whatsoever give any intimation as to the state of his hand or
of the game, or of approval or disapproval of a play.
III. No player should lead until the preceding trick is turned and quitted.
IV. No player should, after having led a winning card, draw a card from his hand for another lead
until his partner has played to the current trick.
V. No player should play a card in any manner so as to call particular attention to it, nor should
he demand that the cards be placed in order to attract the attention of his partner.
VI. No player should purposely incur a penalty because he is willing to pay it, nor should he make
a second revoke in order to conceal one previously made.
VII. No player should take advantage of information imparted by his partner through a breach
of etiquette.
VIII. No player should object to referring a disputed question of fact to a bystander who professes
himself uninterested in the result of the game and able to decide the question.
IX. Bj'standers should not in any manner call attention to or give any intimation concerning the
play or the state of the game, during the play of a hand. They should not look over the hand of a player
without his permission; nor should they walk around the table to look at the different hands.
THE LAWS OF DUPLICATE WHIST,
AS ADOPTED BY THE FOURTH AMERICAN WHIST CONGRESS AT PHILADELPHIA, 1894.
Duplicate Whist is governed by the Laws of Whist, except in so far as they are modified by the fol-
lowing Special Laws :
TSE GAME AND THE SCORE.
(a) A game or match consists of any agreed number of deals, each of which is played once only by
each player.
The contesting teams must be of the same number, but may each consist of any agreed number of
pairs, one-half of which, or as near thereto as possible, sit north and south, the other half east and
west.
Every trick taken is scored, and the match is determined by a comparison of the aggregate scores
won by the competing teams. In case the teams consist of an odd number of pairs each team, in making
up such aggregate, adds, as though won by it, the average score of all the pairs seated in the positions
opposite to its odd pair.
Each side keeps its own score, and it Is the duty of the north and south players at each table to
compare the scores there made and see that they correspond. In case they fail to perform this duty
the east and west scores are taken as correct and the north and south scores made to correspond
thereto.
In a match between two teams the team which wins a majority of all the tricks scores the match as
won by that number of tricks which it has taken in excess of one-half the total.
In a match between more than two teams each team, wins or loses, as the case may be, by the
number of tricks which its aggregate score exceeds or falls short of the average score of all of the
competing teams.
In taking averages fractions are disregarded and the nearest whole number taken, one-half counting
as a whole, unless it is necessary to take the fraction into account to avoid a tie, in which case the
match is scored as won by ' ' the fraction of a trick. ' '
rORMINO THE TABLE.
(&) Tables may be formed by cutting or by agreement.
In two- table duplicate, if the tables are formed by cutting, the four having the preference play at one
table and the next four at the other. The highest two at one table are partners with the lowest two at
the other. The highest two at each table sit north and south ; the lowest two east and west.
DEALING AND MISDEALING.
(c) The deal is never lost. In case of a misdeal, or of the exposure of a card during the deal, the
cards must be redealt by the same player.
THE TRUMP CARD.
(d) The trump card must be recorded before the play begins on a slip provided for that purpose.
When the deal has been played the slip on which the trump card has been recorded must be placed by
the dealer on the top of his cards, but the trump card must not ibe again turned until the hands are
taken up for the purpose of overplaying them, at which time it must be turned and left face upwards on
the table until it is the dealer's turn to play to the first trick. The slip on which the trump card is
recorded must be turned face downwards as soon as the trump card is taken up by the dealer.
IRREGULARITIES IN THE HANDS.
(e) If a player is found to have either more or less than his correct number of cards, the course to
be pursued is determined by the time at which the irregularity is discovered.
I. Where the irregularity is discovered before or during the original play of a hand: There must
be a new deal.

AMERICAN 'SYB.IST— Continued.
II. Where the Irre^larity is discovered when the hand is taken up for overplay, and before such
overplay has begun : The hand in which the irregularity is so discovered must be sent back to the table
from which it was last received and the error be there rectified.
III. Where the irregularity is not discovered until after the overplay has begun: In two- table
duplicate there must be a new deal ; but, in a game in which the same nands are played at more than
two tables, the hands must be rectified as above, and then passed to the next table without overplay at
the table at which the error was discovered, in which case, if a player had a deficiency and his adver-
sary the corresponding surplus, each team takes the average score for that deal ; if, however, his part-
ner had the corresponding surplus, his team is given the lowest score made at any table for that deal.
PLAYTN"G THE CARDS.
(/) Each player, when it is his turn to play, must place his card face upwards before him, and
towards the centre of the table, and allow it to remain upon the table in this position until all have
played to the trick, when he must turn it over and place it face downwards, and nearer to himself,
E lacing each successive card, as he turns it, on top of the last card previously turned by him. After
e has played his card, and also after he has turned it, he must quit it by removing his hand.
A trick is turned and quitted when all four players have turned and quitted their respective cards.
The cards must be left in the order in which they were played until the scores for the deal are re-
corded.
CLAIMING A REVOKE.
Ja) A revoke may be claimed at any time before the last trick of the deal in which It occurs has
beA(iurned and quitted and the scores of that deal recorded, but not thereafter.
SINGLE-TABLE OB MNEMONIC DUPLICATE.
The laws of Duplicate Whist govern, where applicable, except as follows:
Each player plays each deal twice, the second time playing a hand previously played by an adver-
sary.
Instead of turning the trump, a single suit may be declared trumps for the game.
On the overplay, the cards may bs gathered into tricks instead of playing them as required by
law (/).
In case of the discovery of an irregularity in the hands, there must always be a new deaL

The first of the above problems was given by Emil Hoffmann at the eighteenth annual meeting
of the New York State Chess Association on February 22, and has become known as one of the most
original positions extant. The second is by George F. Slater, the noted English composer, who has
carried off the honors iu many international contests.
1 QQR WAS a great year for chess, and will long be remembered as a j-ear of which our native
t v*j\f players may justly feel proud. In the great cable-match between eight native-born Ameri-
cans and a picked team of the eight strongest English players the former won by the close score of
'iVztoS^i. Sir George Newnes donated a silver trophy, valued at $1,000, which will be battled for
annually. Harry Pillsbury, the young American player who carried off the honors of the Interna-
tional Tournament of Hastings in 1895, was also a prize-winner in the international contests of 1896,
and, but for his health giving way at a critical stage, might have secured the first prizes in both
tournaments.
Lasker, who still holds the world's championship, won the first prize at the Nuremberg Tourna-
ment, which ended August 11. the scores being as follows : Lasker, 13%; Maroczy, 121,42; Pillsbury aud
Tarrasch, 12; Janowski, llj^; Steinitz, 11; Schlechter and Walbrodt, lOJ^; Tschigorin and Schif-
fers, 9%: Blackburne, 9; Charouseck, 81,2; Marco, 8; Albin, 7; Winawer, (i}4; Showalter and
rorges, 5J^; Schallop, 4%. while Teichman, whohad just won the first prize m the Simpson Divan
Tournament, scored but 4 The next tournament was held at Budapest, and closed October 21.
Tschigorin and Charouseck, who were not prize-winners iu the previous contest, now tied for the
first prize, with 81^2 wins each, Tschigorin winning in the playoff; Pillsbury, third prize, with TVo;
Janowski and Schlechter,?; Walbrodt and Winawer, 6i,4j; Tarrasch, 6; Albin and Maroczy, 5; Marco,
41,12 -Noah, 4, and Popeil, 2.
Pillsbury played a match with Eglish, the noted Vienna master, for a purse offered by Baron de
Rothschild, but all five of the games resulting in draws, the purse was divided.
In the annual Winter tournament of the New York State Chess Association N. Jasnogrodsky won
the championship and first prize; J. M. Hanham, the second; J. E. Orchard and D. G. Baird, third
and fourth. In the general tournament twenty-eight players participated. O. Boetthiug won the
first prize; A. J. SouwlneandL. Gunsberg, second and third, while the fourth and fifth prizes were
divided among Dr. Broughton, S. G. Ruth, H. D. Stubbs, J. Finn, and P. Lipschutz. E. OUv, the
noted problemist, won the solving prize. The midsummer meeting was held at Ontario, July 29.
K. Lipschutz won the club trophy for the Manhattan Club; S. W. Bampton and W. L. Shipley tied
for first and second prizes; Major Hanham, third. In tiie minor tournament D. F. Searle was first
andH. F. Boem was second. Showalter, who has held the United States championship for many
years, defeated J. F. Barry, of Boston, in a match for the coveted title. A match for the champion-
ship is to be arranged between Showalter and Pillsbury.
The return match between Lasker and Steinitz, for the chess supremacy of the world, was being
played at JMoscow when this record closed. Lasker won the first match by the score of 10 to 5, and it
was general I y believed has improved in st rength. 1 he latest score was : Laster , 5 ; Steinitz, 0 ; drawn , 1.
The Intercollegiate Chess Meeting of 1895 was a great success, and the students showed much
improvement in their play. Harvard once more carried olf tlie cup, and therefore divides the honors
with Columbia, each college having scored two successive victories. The result of the " ' 95 meet ' '
was as follows: Southard and Ryder, Cor Harvard, won 8V2, lost S^; Price and Ross, for Columbia,
won 8, lost4; Seymour and Elmer, for Princeton, won 4, lost 8; Arnstein and Murdoch, for Yale,
won 31,2, lost SVi.
The Pillsbury National Chess Correspondence Association, ko named as a compliment to that
distinguished young master, was organized for the purpose of encouraging play by correspondence.
It has met with such phenomenal success that it is claimed to have a larger membership than any
other chess organization, and it is estimated that upwards of a thousand competitors will participate
in the forthcoming correspondence tournament, which begins with the new year. A. H. Gans-
ser, of Bay City, Mich. , and S. H. Chadwick, Secretary of the Brooklyn Chess Club, have the tournar
ment In charge.

* 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 pei-sonal application and the submission of their nomination to
the head of the State. It meets twice weekly, at the Palace Mazarin, 23 Quai Couti, Paris, and is
' "■ the highest authority on everything aijpertainmg 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 lias a life tenure of his position. The present permanent secretary is Marie L. A. G. Boissier, who
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 Belle.s-
Lettres, witli40membei"S; Academy of Sciences, with 66 members; Academy of Fine Arts, with 40
members (as follows: Painting, 14; sculpture, 8; architecture, 8; engraving, 4; musical composition,
tt), and Academy of Moral and Political science, with 40 meinbei-s. All members are elected for life.

266 JReviein of Scientific Progress in 1896.
HcbictD of ^cirntiftc Jlrogrcss in 1896,
ASTRONOMY.
AsTBOXOMiCAii researches have been prosecuted with uuabated vigor by astronomers and
amateui-s throughout the world.
Several comets were discovered and approximate orbits computed; they were, however, all
telescopic and possess no special interest.
, Photograph}', as already slated in former reviews in this work, is proving a great aid to the practi-
cal astronomer. In photographing a certain tract in the heavens one evening recently in 1896, Dr.
Wolf, of Heidelberg, Germany, discovered live new asteroids, which brings the total number of these
bodies up to 423. The number of those minor planets is doubtless Incalculable; they form a vast
ring of planetary matter, varying in size from a few hundred miles in diameter to mere grains of sand.
The faint reflection of the sun's rays from the concave side of this ring is probably the cause of the
zodiacal light so conspicuous in intra-tropical regions.
Thelost companion of Sirius has been recently rediscovered. This very brilliant star, visible in the
southern sky during the Winter nights, is attended by a companion star several times larger than our
own Bun. It revolves around Sirius, or rather they both revolve around their centre of gravity, in an
orbit whose plane is directed toward our sun, and it therefore happens that the companion may
apparently approach Sirius so near as to be lost in its superior splendor. The action of the com-
panion causes Sirius to swing considerably out of ihe position it would otherwise occupy in space,
and accordingly a correction for this is computed and tabulated in the American Ephemeri.s and
Nautical Almanac.
To the mathematical astronomer the most important astronomical work of the year was the new
determinations of the solar parallax and sun's distance by the heliometer observations on the minor
planets Victoria, Sappho, and Iris, made bj' Drs. C4ill and Elkin, the former Director of the Royal
Observatory of Cape Town, South Africa, and the latter the Director of the Observatory of Yale
University, Connecticut.
They find the following values for the solar paralla.x :
From the observations of Victoria 8. 8013 ± 0. 0061
Sappho 8. 7981 ± 0. 0114
Iris asriOi 0.0090
Mean value 8. 803G d= 0. 004G
This is a confirmation of what is already generally believed by astronomers, viz. : that the solar
parallax lies between 8". 80 and 8". 81. They also found from a discussion of the observations of
Victoria that the moon's mass is 1-81. 702 of the earth's mass, and that the constant of nutation is
9". 2068 ± 0". 0034— a value intermediate between those hitherto accepted,
CHEMISTRY.
A new determination of the relative atomic weights of hydrogen and oxygen has been made, with
more than usual care, and the result is that the atom of oxygen is 15.869 times heavier than the
atom of hydrogen.
A new element, to which the name lucium has been given, has been discovered, but its chemical
properties have not yet been fullj' investigated. Its spectrum is in some respects similar to that of
erbium, and its atomic weight 104.
Several attempts have been made to liquefy the element helium, but without success. The experi-
ments show that helium is more permanent than hydrogen, and also tend to prove the single atom
constitution or the former. The relation of this peculiar constitution to the difficulty of liquefaction is
more marked than in the case of argon. Owing to this permanency of form helium affords a valuable
means of determining temperature beyond the boiling point of hydrogen ; thermometers of the latter
cannot boused beyond —194o, but a helium one can be used up to —234o. 5, the boiling point of
hydrogen.
An empirical relation appears to be established between the melting point and the critical temper-
ature of certain substances, which may eventually lead to important results. The relation is that the
absolute melting point is nearly if not exactly one-half of the absolute critical temperature.
Professor Liversidge, of Australia, completed, in 1896, au extensive series ot experiments, with
the object of determining the amount of gold andsilverin the sea water off the coast of New South
Wales. He found from a half to one grain of gold per ton, or in round numbers from 130 to 260 tons
of gold per cubic mile. This means an enormous amount for the whole ocean, assuming the gold to
be uniformly distributed. It would give about 60,000, 000,000 tons of gold. He also found all sea
water to contain from one to two grains of silver per ton. The gold exi.sts as a chloride and the silver
probably as a nitrate. Both monometallists and bimetallistshave here an inexhaustible source of
the two precious metals, but the processes now in use lack the facility and precision necessary
for the extraction of such minute quantities as exist in sea water. It would, therefore, not jiaj' to
extract either the gold or silver by itself, but it might in certain cases, as a bye-product m the manu-
facture of common salt, bromine, sodium, etc.
The discovery by Professor RSutgeu of a new kind of radiation, from a highly exhausted
tube through which au electric discharge is passing, has aroused an amount of interest hitherto
unknown in the history of science. The real nature of these so-called Rontgen or X rays is not yet
fully understood. Whether they are waves of transverse or normal vibration, or indeed vibration at
all, is still uncertain. These rays differ in two respects from ordinary light in the absence of refrac-
tion, and perhaps also of polarization. They have already been applied to some very useful purposes
in surgery, and further researches will doubtless develop a very wide range of application.
GEOLOGY AND EXPLORATION.
Geological researches have been carried on with more than usual activity, and iu this line our
own country takes foremost rank. The reports of the United States Geological Survey and those of
various States are unsurpassed for the amount of useful information which they contain. Among the
numerous localities explored with specific objectsin viewmay be mentioned the Leadville region;
Lake Superior region; the Georgia and Carolina gold belt; Texas, Colorado, and theOguirrh Moun-
tains in Utah; the coal fields of Virginia and Maryland, and theGreen Mountains in Vermont and
Massachusetts. A thorough examination of the Appalachian gold belt has been miida This belt
begins in the northern part of the range, extending into Nova Scotia on the East, aud Into the
Chandidre Valley in Quebec on the North; it pa.sses through Virginia, not far from Washington,
D.C. ; becomes much richer in North Carolina, not far from Charlotte, aud in Northern Georgia, and
terminates In Northern Alabama. The first discovery of gold in the United States wa3 made by
Actors^ Fund of America^

REVIEW OP SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS IN 1896— Con^mued.
Ponce de Leon, in 1513, but little or nottiing was done to develop the mines until 1830. The total
Eroduction from this gold belt is about fifty millions of dollars. The gold is found in rock deposits
elonging to the Palaeozoic age, or even older. An extensive gold field was recently discovered in
Newfoundland. It is no doubt an extension of the Appalachian belt, the gold being found in very
ancient quartz rock which yields about three ounces per ton.
Recent explorations of Mount Sinai have brought to light the ancient copper mines worked by the
Egyptians, from the time of the third dynasty (about 5,000 B.C. ), until they were abandoned about
three thousand years ago, owing to the poorness of the ore, which consisted of sandstones impreg-
nated with oxide, carbonate, and hydrosilicate of copper, the metal forming about 3 per cent of
the rock. The remains of existing fragments of furnaces and crucibles, the slags and scoriae possess
the same general character as those of the present day.
An extensive ruby district has been found in Upper Burmah, about ninety miles N. N. E. of Man-
dalay, and about four miles east of the military post Theboyetkin on the Irrawaddy. The tract is
about twenty-six miles long by twelve in width. The rubies are found in certain limestones and
alluvial earths derived from them. Several other precious stones, such as the red tourmaline, so
highly prized by the Chinese, topaz, etc., are also found, not, however, in association with the ruby,
but in certain gneisses and schistose rocks.
A recentsurvey of Hudson Bay showed that the land lying around it is rapidly rising. This is
provedveryconclusively by the extensive beaches covered with driftwood, from 20 to 60 or 70 feet
above present high water. The land on the eastern shore is high and rocky, and on the west
low and marshy, but in both the general shoaling of the water and the encroachment of the land is
quite evident. Within the memory of those now living on its shores and of many of the Hudson Bay
Company' s [officials, channels, inlets, and harbors through which the company's ships passed with
entire safety will now hardly admit a I'owboat. All the old harbors are now abandoned, owing to
shallow water. Many new islands have been formed, and many rivers whose mouths were navigable
for ships for several miles now empty into the bay by a fall or rapid. It is the most remarkable
gradual upheaval of an extensive region ever known, and if it continues for a few more centuries this
shallow bay will disappear, and a salt marsh ordry land take its place.
The great Barrier Beef , which skirts the eastern coast of Australia for more than a thousand miles,
was made the subject of investigation by Professor Agassiz, who shows that it isdueto erosion and denu-
dation, commencing as far back in geologic history as the Cretaceous Period, and is still going on. He
also discovered evidence of upheavals and subsidences, and showed that the numerous Lslanda off the
coast, as well as the great reef itself, at some remote period formed part of the mainland.
Dr. Nansen's expedition to the North Pole returned after an absence of three years. The highest
latitude reached was 86° 14', or 200 miles further north than ever reached before. No land was
found north of latitude 82o.
The discovery In Java of the fossil remains of a Pithecanthropos— a form intermediate between
man and the higher apes— was regarded as a matter of the first importance in the scientific world. The
remains belong to the Pliocene Age in geological history.
During the year science was called upon to mourn the loss of some of her most distinguished votar-
ies. France lost one of her brightest ornaments in the person of M. Hippolyte Flzeau, the physicist,
who died at the age of seventy-seven years. His name will be forever associated with the determina-
tion of the velocity of light. He was the pioneer in this line of experiment and research.
Geology lost Sir Joseph Prestwlch, D. C. L. , F. R. S. , the most eminent of British geologists, at the
ageof eighty -four years; M. Daubree, acelebrated French geologist, age eighty- two years; Professor
J. D.Whitney, of the United States; Professor Greene, of the Univerity of Oxford, and Professor
George Lawson,of Halifax, Canada. Surgery lost Sir J. E. Ericksen and Sir George Humphrey, both
of England. Dr. Krueger, Director of the Observatory of Kiel; Professor H. A. Newon, mathema-
tician and scientist, of Yale University; Sir William Grove, chemist and Inventor of Grove's Battery;
ProfessorPeter Collier, the eminent agricultural chemist, and Baron Sir Frederick Von Muller, the
eminent botanist, who has added so much to our knowledge of the flora of Australia, passed away,
leaving behind tnem imperishable records of their scientific work.

The Actors' Fund was established in 1882, to provide assistance for disabled and needy members
of the theatrical profession, and burial for such as leave no means therefor. From organization to date
of the last financial report there has been contributed to the fund. In various ways, about $500,000,
and during that time there has been expended for relief, burials, medicines, hospital charges, etc.,
about $295,000. The amount of the Fund June 1, 1896, was $223. 384. 77. The number of annual
members of the Fund at that date was 1,000, and of life members 82. There are 21 honorary mem-
bers, including President Cleveland, Rev. Dr. Houghton, Chauncey M. Depew, Robert J. IngersoU,
and Ignace Paderewskl.

GREATEST SPEED OF TYPEWRITING OPERATORS.
The comparative speed attainable upon these different machines is a matter of much con-
troversy, and the speed possible in actual work or for practical purposes probably cannot be
stated with any degree of accuracy. 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 speed of 100 words per minute would probably be, however, the most that any
one of these instruments and its operator would be capable of attaining in actual work. This also
presupposes writing from dictation, 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 speaker 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 consecutiA'e minutes from new matter (the matter being unknoAvn to
the writer)— was at an official meeting at Lake George, N. Y. , in 1888, when for the purpose of
proving his system faster and more legible (with the same rate of speed) than any other system
extant, a shorthand author offered cash prizes to the amount of $500 to writers of any and all
systems of shorthand to compete. The first prize upon this occasion was awarded to Isaac S.
Dement, of Chicago (afterwards knoAvn as "the champion shorthand Avriter of the world"),
for writing 252 words per minute for five consecutive minutes.
The American Philological Assoclatiou has recommeuded the following "■ ' liules 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 UK 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 hi such words as definite, infinite, favorite, etc. , where the preceding vowel is
short. Thus spell opposit, preterit, hypocrit, requisit, etc.
3. Drop final tk in words like quartette, coquette, cigarette, etc. Thus spell cigaret, roset,
epaulet, vedet, gazet, etc.
4. Drop final me in words like programme. Thus spell program, oriflam, gram, etc.
5. Change ph to f in words like phantom, telegrapli, phase, etc. Thus spell alfabet, paragraf,
filosofy, fonetic, fotograf, etc.
6. Substitute e for the diphthongs iE and as. when they have the sound of that letter. Thus gpell
eolin, esthetic, diarrhea, subpeua, 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 of 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. ' '

The American College of INIusicians was instituted in 1884 and incorporated in 1895. Its object is
to ensure the professional efficiency and responsibilitj-, the rewards for musical excellence after rigid
examination being the certificates, diplomas, and degrees of the College; and by means of the annual
distribution of its prospectus and examination papers, to establish among students of music through-
out the United States correct ideas with regard to the standard of attainment required in order to
command professional recognition for thorough musicianship. The College was not organized to im-
part instruction in music, but instead for the purpose of conducting proper examinations under suit-
able conditions to determine the professional attainments of candidates for its awards, regardless of
the institutions at which their studies were made. Hence, tliere is no faculty, but instead a Board of
Trustees, who commission competent examiners to pass upon candidates whenever they present
themselves for examination. Degrees of Doctor and Bachelor of Music are conferred. Examinations
may be held in any locality where ten or more candidates are present.

The purpose of the University Extension movement, which was originated by the University of
Cambridge, in England, and subsequently spread to the United States, is to provide the means of
higher education for persons of all classes and of both sexes engaged in the regular occupations of life.
It IS intended for all who are willing to give some of their time to study and instruction under the guid-
ance of men who have had university training. It ofiers:
First— Education by means of systematic coui-ses 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 American Society for the Extension of University Teaching was founded at Philadelphia in
Jun e, 1890. Its obj ects are :
First— 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.
Second— 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 University Extension idea
before the country by the Society' s agents and publications.
The present Board of Directors is constituted as follows: Charles A. Brinley, M. G. Brumbough,
Charles E. Bushnell, John H. Converse, Walter C. Douglas, Theodore N. Ely, Charles C. Harrison,
William H. Ingham, John S. Macintosh, Frederick B. Miles, Henry S. Pancoast, Joseph G. Kosen-
garten, Justus C. Strawbridge, Charlemagne Tower, Jr., Stuart Wood. The Acting Secretary of the
Society is John Nolen. In the first year of work twenty- three centres were organized, at which
some three hundred lectures were given to an estimated attendance of ten or twelve thousand
people. The second season witnessed a satisfactory increase in the number of centres, with a corre-
sponding increase in the number of lectures and students. In the academic year 1893-94 there were
given under the auspices of the American Society one hundred and fourteen regular lecture courses,
thirty-one class courses, and fifty Summer Meeting courses, or one hundred and ninety-five courses
in all, averaging a little over six lectures each. In the year 1894-95 one hundred and twenty-six regu-
lar courses were given, nine class courses, and forty-one Summer Meeting courses, or one hundred
and seventy-six courses in all, averaging about six lectures each. Through the ' ' circuit ' ' or union of
five or six towns which join to engage the same lecturer, towns distant from University centres have
enjoyed the advantages of the system, and even villages of a few hundred inhabitants have been able
to secure courses.
In addition to the Winter lectures at the centres, the American Society conducts a Summer Meet-
ing, which is held in the buildings of the Univei-sity of Pennsylvania. The first session was held in
1893. Courses were given during the four weeks by some of the most eminent professors of Harvard,
Johns Hopkins, Cornell, and the University of Pennsylvania. The second session of the Summer
Meeting, held in July, 1894, continued the general courses in history, literature, and other subjects
treated in the first session, and provided in addition thoroughly well equipped departments in
economics, pedagogy, and mathematics. In the department of economics advanced courses were
oftered by members 01 the faculties of political science in Yale, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, Amherstv
and the University of Pennsylvania. In the Summer Meeting of 1895 the courses in literature and
history were confined to Greek life and thought. Departments were also organized for the study of
psychology, music, biology, civics, and politics and mathematics. In 1896 the department of litera-
ture and history was given up entirely to Roman life and thought, in sequence with the work of 1895,
and it is intended in subsequent years to continue the sequence with courses in mediaeval history, the
Renaissance, the Beformation, etc

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 important 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 oi the movement.
The first World's Congress on University Extension was held in Chicago in August, 1893.
The University Extension movement was started by the University of Cambridge in 1872. In
that year Professor Stuart gave a course of lectures before various women' s clubs m the north of
England. The popular favor which his lectures instantly won encouraged him to repeat them before
various audiences of different character and make-up in all parts of the country. From this beginning
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 publishes T/ie Ciiizen, a monthly
ioumal containing articles of such a character as to be supplementary to the teaching of the Society-
book 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 University Exten-
sion work can be obtained by addressing University Extension, lH South Fifteenth Street,
Philadelphia.

The 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.
The 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 menabers. 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 with fifty cents

A Roman Catholic Chautauqua or Summer School was opened at New London, Ct. , in the Sum-
mer of 1892 under the auspices of distinguished clergymen and laymen, and the first meetings were
held from July 30 to August 14. The association has since acquired a site at ClilFHaven, near Platts-
burgh, N. Y., on Lake Champlain, upon which the necessary buildings have been erected, and here
the Summer School is held annually in July and August. The object of this institution is •■' to increase
the facilities for busy people, as well as for those of leisure, to pursue lines of study in various depart-
ments of knowledge by providing opportunities of getting mstruction from eminent specialists. It is
not intended to have the scope of the work limited to any class, but rather to establish an intellectual
center, where anyone with serious purpose may come and find new incentives to efforts for self-
improvement. Here, in the leisure of a Summer vacation, without great expense, one may listen to
the best thought of the world, condensed and presented by unselfish masters of study. The oppor-
tunity thus provided of combinmg different classes of students for mutual improvement, will be most
acceptable to professors and lecturers who wish to have an appreciative audience to enjoy with them-
the fruits of the latest research in history, literature, natural science, and other branches of learning, ' '

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. Wiuthrop, 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, and President Grover Cleve-
land, of New York; William C. Endicott, Samuel A. Green, and Judge Lowell, of Massachusetts; Will-
iam Wirt Henry, of Virginia; ex- Mayor William A. Courtenay, of South Carolina; James D. Porter,
of Tennessee; Henderson M. Sonierville, of New York; President D. C. Oilman, 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 education 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, the power to do which was left to
its discretion. In the thirty years since the organization of the Trust, $2,415,509 has been spent, as
the income of the sum left by Mr. Peabody. Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan is the Treasurer.

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 latelj^ emancipated population of the Southern States and their
posterity. ' ' For this patriotic and munificent gift the thanks of Congi-ess were voted, and a medal was
presented. 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 Fuller, 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, and ex-Governor Northen, of Georgia. The fund is a potential agency in work-
ing out the problem of the education of the negro, and half a million of dollars has already been
expended. Schools established by States, denominations, and individuals are helped by annual dona-
tions. 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 Medical
College at Nashville, etc.

Paris will have a World' s Fair in 1900, which is promised to eclipse in scope and splendor every-
thing of the kind that has preceded it, including our own hitherto unparalleled Columbian Exposition
at Chicago, in 1893. The plans have been arranged on an elaborate scale. The central point of

to the exhibition.
M. Picard, the Commissioner-General, has promised that during the work of demolishing and
rebuilding these palaces there shall be no cartage of old and new material up and down the Avenue
des Champs Elysees, and he has arranged to construct an underground railway from the palace to
the Seine, that everything may be brought and carried away by boat.
Passing through this new palace, the plan of which is a combination of several submitted to the
Commissioner, the visitor will pass out on to the newPont Alexander III. , the first stone of which
was laid by the Czar during his visit to Paris in 1896. The river banks will, according to a recently
developed idea of M. Picard, be one of the principal attractions of the exhibition. Between the Pont
de la Concorde and the Pont des Invalidesgayly decorated terraces and gardens will stretch, and on
the south bank, between the Pont des Invalides and the Champs de Mars, will be the pavilions of
foreign nations, the hothouses for the horticultural exhibits, and various spectacles.
ThecondiUonsof labor during the construction of the exposition buildings are regarded as highly
favorable to the workmen. One day's holiday a week has been assured to them. Foreign work-
men, except a very small number in each department, cannot be engaged by the contractor without
special permission from the Minister of Commerce. In case of delay in paying wages, the Central
Administration maypay money due to the contractors direct to the workmen; and the Administration
also lakes charge of tne medical service.
Three and a quarter million construction bonds of 20 francs each (65,000,000 francs) have been
issued. Each bond gives the right to twenty admissions totlie exposition, to a reduction in the price
of admission to all spectacles, to reduced railway fares in Paris, and to the usual immense lotteries,
with prizes ranging from 500, OCX) to 100 francs. When this money is exhausted the Treasury will be
applied to for a loan, which will be guaranteed by entrance fees. The twentieth century will belong
to Paris from its birth if money and care can buy it.
Three new hotels are already planned in Paris or are in the course of erection. The company
which owns the Savoy Hotel in London and the Grand Hotel in Rome has bought half of one side of
the Place Vendome, and the houses on this site have already been pulled down. The Gordon Hotels
Company and the Wagon Lits Company have bought sit6s at the top of the Champs Elysees.
Great Britain hasalready appointed a Commissioner in Austin Lee, to act for her in calculating the
space needed for her exhibits,andheis on the ground. The United States is desired to act immediately
in taking similar measures.
Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition^ 299
The following statement was prepared by direction of the Tennessee Centennial Bureau of Promo-
tion and Publicity for The Wobld Almanac:
Tlie people of Tennessee, irrespective of political or religious belief or race, have decided to
celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the admission of their State into the Federal Union by
holding at NashvUle, the capital of the State, from May 1 to November 1, 1897, a great Centennial and
International Exposition. As Ithe first State to celebrate its centennial, the event rises to a plane of
National dignity and importance, and the people of Tennessee therefore naturally and properly expect
the whole country to participate. Kentucky and Vermont were the first States to be adm^itted, but
they neglected to observe by any formal celebration the completion of the first century of statehood.
Tennessee, the sixteenth State in the American sisterhood, was admitted into the Union on June
1, 1796, and John Sevier, the hero of King' s Mountain, was the first Governor of the State. Nash-
ville, the capital, was settled by James Robertson in 1780, and Joseph Coleman was the first Maj'or
of the city, elected in 1806. Ithas a population of 100, 000, and it is estimated that 10,000,000 people
reside within a night' s railroad ride of the place where the great Centennial Exposition of 1897 is to
be held. Situated in the heart of the Blue Grass region of Tennessee, where the lands are fertile, the
scenery picturesque, and the climate perfect, the selection of Nashville as the Centennial City, aside
from her historic claims, is a happy one.
This great enterprise, so successfully launched and the progress of which has been so marvelous,
considering the stringency of the times and the political uncertainty, was conceived in a spirit of
patriotism pure and simple. Tennessee has played no mean part in the stirring National events of the
pastcentury, and upon the honor roll of the nation the names of many of her sons shine resplendent.
At King's Mountain, at New Orleans in the war with Mexico, and in the great Civil War the sons of the
Volunteer State were in the forefront of battle. In the late Civil War Tennessee furnished 115, 000 men
to the Southern and 34,000 men to the Northern cause, and upon her soil were fought such decisive
battles as Shil oh, Stone River, Fort Donelson, Nashville, Franklin, Missionary Ridge, and Chicka-
mauga. Itismainly to recall and keep alive in the rising generation the deeds of their forefathers
that the people of the State have resolved, at the cost of so much money and labor, to engage in this
stupendous undertaking.
The place where the exposition will be held is in the western suburbs of Nashville, and it was
known until recently as West Side Park. Previous to its present ownership over $100, OOO had been
expended upon this tract of 200 acres of beautiful and fertile land, and the benefit of this work accrues
to the Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition. This beautiful park is reached by three
lines of electric and one line of steam railway, and a special entrance has been provided for each of
these lines. From the principal hotels in the heart of the city to Centennial Park the journey can be
made by electric or steam cars in eight minutes, or it can be made on foot through the residence por-
tion of the city in twenty minutes.
The construction of the buildings that are to form the central plan of the exposition is (January 1,
1897) very far advanced, and by or before March 1, 1897, every structure will be complete. These
buildings will be white and the exterior finish will be in staff. The following buildings are now ( Jan-
uary 1, 1897) complete: The Auditorimn, the Art Building (which is known as the Parthenon), the
Administration, Minerals and Forestry. Commerce and Transportation buildings. The Machinery
Building and the Memphis Building, which is a reproduction of the PjTamid of Cheops, are approach-
ing completion. The Education, Negro, and History buildings are under contract and work will be
begun at once.
The Auditorium, where all the congresses, festivals^nd conventions will be held, has a seating
capacity of 6,000. The dimensions of the Minerals and Forestry Building are 124 feet by 526 feet;
the Transportation Building, 125 feet by 100 feet; the Machinery Building', 591 feet by 256 feet, and
the Agriculture Buildingjl75 feet by 525 feet. The Woman' s Building is in the Colonial style and is
an elaboration of ' * The Hermitage, ' ' the home of General Andrew Jackson, near Nashville. The
Negro Building will be a massive and imposing structure, and will contain specimens of work done by
negroes in all walks of life, and will otherwise illustrate the progress of the race in America.
The amount already expended and to be expended upon the Tennessee Centennial and Interna-
tional Exposition will be $1,200, 000. The management is using every endeavor to bring together
the most unique and attractive things procurable, and the best exhibits in each class are solicited. No
charge will be made for a reasonable amount of space for exhibits in any of the buildings, but each
exhibit ofTered will be subject, for acceptance or rejection, to the Committee on Classification, with
the approval of the Director-General, composed of the heads of departments. In order that the ex-
hibit may be in place on the opening day, the exhibitor will be required to make a deposit in cash with
the management when the exhibit is accepted. An agreement will then be entered into under which
the managementpromises to have space for the exhibit ready in ample time, and the exhibitor agrees to
forfeit the deposit if the exhibit is not in place and ready for inspection on May 1, 1897.
The sliding scale for these deposits will be: For the first 100 square feet,6C cents per square foot;
for the second space, that is, 100 to 500 feet, 35 cents; 25 cents will be collected for each square foot
when more than 600 feet are required. The exemptions are horticulture, forestry, and any exhibits
not made for profit. The deposits will be held as a sacred fund and returned, incash^ to exhibitors
whose exhibit are complete on the opening day. All questions of delay in getting exhibits in place,
arising from unavoidable causes, will be decided by the Committee on Classification, presided over by
the Director-General. Exhibit and concession application blanks will be furnished on request by the
Director-General, E. C. Lewis, Nashville, Tenn. „ ^ ^ . _. , , „.
JohnW. ThomasisPresidentof the Exposition Company; E. C. Lewis, Director-General; A. W.
Wills Commissioner-General; Theodore Cooley, Chief of the Fine Arts and History Department; H. C.
White, Chief of the Machinery Department, and Herman Justi, Chief of the Bureau of Promotion
and Publicity Chauncey M. Depew, of New York, has accepted an invitation to deliver the opening
address on May 1, when it is expected that the President and Cabinet and the most important digni-
taries of the nation and individual States will be present.

The Trans-Mississippi and International Exposition, to be held at Omaha, June 1 to November 1,
1898, is intended to exhibit particularly the products, resources, industries, and civilization of the
States and Territories west of the Mississippi River. Congress has passed an act recognizing and en-
dorsing the exposition, and providing for an appropriation of $200,000 for a United States govern-
ment building and exhibit. The work of the exposition will very shortly be taken up on a broad and
liberal plan.

HiUtaturt in 1896.
THE NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEAR.
The following is an approximate summary of the most widely read of the four thousand odd books
published in the United States in 1896. And first as to fiction, the most popular form of modern
literature:
FICTION.
"The Damnation of Theron Ware,' ' the story of a country minister who is lured from the paths of
rectitude through the artful machinations of a worldly-minded woman, by Harold Frederic, was,
perhaps, the leading novel of the year. Others of special merit were: " Kate Carnegie,' ' an inimitable
study in Scottish lite, by Ian Maclareu; "■ King Noanett,' ' a story of Old Virginia and the Massachu-
setts Bay, a very pretty love story, charming in conception and exquisite in detail, by F. J. Stimson-
"Mrs. ClitTs Yacht," by Frank R. Stockton, forming a natural sequence to "The Adventures or
Captain Horn," by the same author j "The Sorrows oi Satan," in which the devil invades London
society in the guise of an allluent prince, by Marie Corelli ; " Sir George Tressady.' ' dealing with the
terest, by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps: "Tom Grogan," describing the haps and mishaps of a working
woman, rude, rough- hewn, and of more than feminine force of character, in battling for her rights
with the Knights of Labor, by F. Hopkinson Smith; "The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard," a stirring
account of the adventures of a French soldier in the Napoleonic wars, by Conan Doyle, one of the best
of the author' s popular arma virumque stories ; " Sentimental Tommy,' ' another work of undoubted
meritby J. M. Barrie; "The Under Side of Things," a story of West Point, by Lillian Bell ; "The
SowerSj* ' a vivid romance of Russian life, abounding in political intrigue and thrilling incidents, by
Henry Setton Merrian : "The Crimson Sign," a tale of adventure in Ireland during the struggle oe-
tweea Janies II. and his daughter Mary, by S. R. Keightley; "• Jude, the Obscure," erotic studies in
low life, by Thomas Hardy; "His Father's Son," describing the ways of Wall street, with other stories
of New York life, one of the author's strongest books, by Brander Matthews ; " Red Men and White,' '

tale of a young Scottish soldier in the time of James VI. before his accession to tne throne of England,
by S. R. Crockett; "Doiia Perfecta," by B. Perez Galos, translated by Mary J. Serrano, from prob-
ably the foremost of the new Spanish novelists. The ^'Reds of the Midi," by Felix Gras, and
" Rome,' ' by Emile Zola, were the two leading French books of fiction of the year.
The following works also have been very widely read and deserve special mention: " An Amaz-
ing Marriage,' ' by George Meredith; "■ A Social Highwayman,' ' by Elizabeth Phlpps Train ; " Made-
Ion," by Mary E. Wilkins; "The Seats of the Mighty,'* founded on an episode in Canadian history,
by Gilbert Parker; "The Weir of Hermiston" (posthumous), by Robert Louis Stevenson; "Cin-
derella, and Other Stories," by Richard Harding Davis; "Checkers," by Henry M. Blossom, Jr.;
" Love in Old Cloathes," by H. C. Bunner; "March Hares," by Harold Frederic ; "A Woman Inter-
venes," by Robert Barr, and "A Lady of Quality," by Frances Hodgson Burnett, an ambitious
creation, which has been very severely criticised.
Other works which attracted special notice were: "From Whose Bourne?" by Robert Barr;
"Cavaliers," by S. R. Keightley; "Heart of the Princess Osra" and "Comedies of "Courtship," by
Anthony Hope; "Aftermath" (sequel to "A Kentucky Cardinal"), by James Lane Allen; "A Gen-
tleman Vagabond," by F. Hopkinson Smith, and "Briseis," by William Black.
Special mention must be made of " Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc," by the "Sieur Louis
de Conte,' ' one of the notable books of the year, a vivid narrative of the romantic life of the Maid of
Orleans, whose author was not at first recognized as Mark Twain; "The Houseboat on the Styx,"
by John Kendrick Bangs, in which this versatile author narrates the humorous doings of the " Associ-
ated Shades ' ' of celebrities of every age.
BIOGRAPHY AND HISTORY.
In biography the year was exceptionally rich, and several valuable historical works appear.
" The Empire of the Ptolemies,' ' by Professor J. P. Mahaffy, was one of the most important publica-
tions in this department. "George Washington," a pleasing biography, including many portraits of
celebrated contemporaries,byWoodrow Wilson, of Princeton. " History of the German Struggle for
Liberty," by Poultney Bigelow. "Colonial Days in Old New York," by an acknowledged authority in
these matters, Alice Morse Earle. Two new importations of importance in this department were:
"France Under Louis XIV.," from the French of Emile Bourgeois, based on the works of Voltaire,
Mme. De Sevigne, and others, richly illustrated from authentic sources ; " The Unpublished Works of
Edward Gibbon," Vol. I. containing six autobiographies, and Vols. II. and III., ^'Gibbon's Private
Letters,' ' from 1753 to 1794. "A Few Memories,' ' hy Mary Anderson (Mme. de Navarro), charming
reminLscences of her stage life. " Memoirs of Barras,' ' the last two volumes, covering the Directorate
(from the 18th Fructidor), the Consulate, the Empire, and the Restoration, furnishing an historical,
social, and political picture of his times. " Life of Cardinal Manning, Archbishop of Westminster,"
containing veiled attacks on his character, by E. S. Purcell. " Letters of Matthew Arnold,' ' 2 vols.,
largely his home letters, but dealing with many questions, collected and arranged by G. W. E. Russell.
" Love Affairs of a Bibliomaniac," by Eugene Field, written just before the author's death, will not
soon be forgotten. " The Journal of a Spy in Paris,' ' describing what an ej'e- witness saw during the
Terror (claimed as a genuine original). "A History of Auricular Confession and Indulgences in the
Latin Church,' ' an exhaustive and important work, by Henry Charles Lea.
Further biography was: "My Long Life," byMaryCowden Clarke; " Life and Letters of Oliver
Wendell Holmes,' ' by John T. Morse, Jr. ; " Life of James JNIcCosh,' ' by William M. Sloane, of Prince-
ton; "The Early Life of Abraham Lincoln," containing hitherto unpublished documents and facts,

M. Sloane, of Princeton; "The Makers of Florence," by Mrs. M. O. w. Oliphant; " Impressions and
Experiences,' ' by W. D. Howells, including reminiscences of his early life.
TRAVEL AND DESCRIPTION.
Perhaps the most valuable work under this head was "The Cations of the Colorado," by J. W.
Powell, formerly Director of the United States Geological Survey; a popular descriptive geology, with
an account of an exploration as full of danger and dramatic action as any in savage lands. "On Snow
Shoes to the Barren Grounds,' ' by Caspar Whitney; a thrilling account of a journey of 2,800 mUes in
Literature in 1896. 301
LITERATURE IN ISQ^—Contimted.
the most extended land of desolation in the world. Two widely diflTerent books on Venezuela—" Ven-
ezuela," describing its geography and social aspects, narrating much of its history, and concluding
with a full account of the recent boundary dispute, by William Eleroy Curtis; and "Three Gringoes
in Venezuela and Central America,' ' by Richard Harding Davis. "■ Literary Landmarks of Venice ' '
by Laurence llutton, deserves special mention. "The Edge of the Orient," a trip along the pictur-
esque borders of Dalmatia and Montenegro, through Constantinople, and finally to the Nile, by Bobert
Howard RusselL "Alon in China," a collection of short tales gathered during solitary wanderings
among the real Chinese, by Julian Ralph. Two books on Persia and India, each opening with a
description of the classic lands near the Black Sea. " Persian Life and Customs," by the Rev. S. G.
Wilson; " From the Black Sea Through Persia and India, "by Edwin Lord Weeks, from an observant
traveller's standpoint, with especially full description of Hindoo life. Two books of African interest,
the scene of one laid in Matabele lands, "■ Twelve Hundred Miles in a Wagon," by Alice B. Balfour,
and that of the other in Eastern Africa, ''Through Jungle and Desert,' ' by William Astor Chanler.
POETRY.
The year was not productive of many poetical works of value. This is true all over the world, but
particularly so in our own country, although for this the absorbing election excitement was doubtless
partly responsible. Some of the singers have passed away, notably Robert Louis Stevenson and
William Morris, and in France, Paul Verlaine, for an acquaintance with whose poetry we are indebted
to George Moore. The most notable works are as follows: "Stops of Various Quills," by W. D.
Howells, being a collection of thoughtful, somewhat pessimistic poems, which, nevertheless, show
the well-known novelist at his best; "A Child World,' ' by James Whitcomb Biley. Two books whose
authors have died during the year, "Poems and Ballads," by Robert Louis Stevenson, and "Songs
and Other Verse," by Eugene Field j "The Purple East," a work of fine poetic indignation, refer-
ring to Turkey and Armenia, by William Watson; "Behind the Arras," by Bliss Carman; "The
Story of Balen," by Algernon Charles Swinburne, whose powers show no sign of fading; "The Seven
Seas,' ' by Rudyard Kipling, fresh and virile as all his work ; " Songs of the Soul,' ' by Joaquin Miller.
■Two translations were noteworthy: " Poems ' ' of Paul Verlaine, translated by Gertrude Hall, and
" Poems ' ' of Johanna Ambrosius, by Mary J. Satford, chiefly lyrics, showing the singular powers of the
sad- faced woman who has, in a few months, raised herself from a field laborer to one of Germany' s
most admired poets.
PHILOSOPHY AISTD SCIENCE.
"A Scientific Demonstration of the Future Life," discussing the question of immortality in the
light of recent psychological research, by Thomson Jay Hudson ; "Outlines of Psychology,' ' by Oswald
iSilpe, translated by E. B. T. Sage, of Cornell University; "The Theory of Knowledge," a learned
and controversial work, by L. T. Hobhouse; "The Whence and Whither of Man," being the Morse
lectures for 1895; "The Warfare of Science with Theology," by Andrew D. White: "Methods of
Mind Training,' ' by Catherine Aiken, describing the highly successful system in use at her institution
in Stamford, Ct. ; "Menticulture; or, the A B O of True Living," by Horace Fletcher: "Regenera-
tion,' ' a reply to Max Nordau, by JST. M. Butler; " Genius and Degeneration ' ' by Dr. William Hirsch:
" North American Shore Birds,' ' a first-class reference book, by Daniel G. Elliot ; " A System of Legal
Medicine," by Allan McLane Hamilton, M. D., and Lawrence Godkin, an admirable compendium;
"Hygiene and Physical Culture for Women," a comprehensive treatise, ranking much above the
ordinary, by a woman of large experience, Anna M. Galbraith, M, D. ; "Voice Building and Tone
Placing," by Holbrook Curtis, M. D.; "Electric Lighting," by Francis B, Crocker, of Columbia
College, a most valuable work.
POLITICS, SOCIOLOGY, AJSTD FINAJSTCE,
Naturally, from the intense interest aroused in 1896 on all financial and economic questions bear-
ing on politics, the production of works on these subjects was unusually large. Only the leading ones,
therefore, can be mentioned. The same naay be said of books on sociology, in which a growing inter-
est was displayed throughout the country. On politics, the most imposing work was one whose title is
its best description* " Commentaries on the Constitution of the United States, Historical and Judicial,
with Observations upon the Ordinarj^ Provisions of State Constitutions of Other Countries,' ' Vol. I., by
Roger Foster; " The Paget Papers ' ' important documents and facts concerning European diplomacy
from 1794 to 1807, with notes, by Mrs. J. R. Green; " Monev in Politics,' ' by J. K. Upton, an account
of " Bryanism," from colonial days to the present time; " The Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives,' ' already a standard work, showing its author is thoroughly master of her subject, by M. P.
Follett ; " Money and Banking,' ' oy Horace White, extensively read and discussed. Two books from
colleges were, " Wages and Capital,' ' by F. W. Taussig,of Harvard, specially reviewing the wages
fund theory, and " An Account of the Relation Between Property and Public Welfare,' ' by; Arthur T.
Hadley, of Yale. " Essays on Taxation ' ' was a work: full of valuable information. ^' Railways and
Their Employes,' ' by Dr. O. Ashley, President of the Wabash Railroad. Ferri' s " Criminal Sociology,' '
discussing the Italian theory that in physical, mental and moral trealment consists the true prevention
of crime: a criticism of the prison system, by Enrico Forri. Following this comes " Youthful Eccen-
tricity a Precursor of Crime,' ' by Forbes Winslow. " The Principles of Sociology," by Franklin Henry
Giddings, was one of the most important books of the year, classing sociology as a psychological, not a
biological, science. "Principles of Sociology" (Vol. III.), an addition to parts already published, by
Herbert Spencer. " Professional Institutions and Industrial Institutions,' ' by Herbert Spencer, com-
pleting his great work on synthetic philosophy.
THEOLOGY AND RELIGION.
Perhaps the work that should first be mentioned is " The Christian Doctrine of Immortality," a
work of excellent judgment, by Professor Salmond. "The Mind of the Master," an exposition of
Christianity in its relations to modern life and ideas, by the Rev. John Watson (Ian Maclaren). " St.
Paul the Traveller,' ' presenting the arguments for the apostolic origin of the Acts, hy W. M. Ramsay.
" Frona Far Formosa,' ' a description of the island, its people, and the remarkable mission work done
there during the past quarter century, by G. L. MacKay, D. D. " A History of the Roman Catholic in
the United States,' ' the best history of the kind yet written, by Thomas O' Gorman. " Literary Study
of the Bible,' ' by Professor Moulton, an account of the leading forms of literature iu the sacred
writings.

INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT.
The Librarian of Congress makes the foUowing statement to inquiries as to lemedies for in-
fringement of copyright:
No question concerning the validity of a copyright can be determined under our laws by any other
authority than a United States court.
This ofiice has no discretion or authority to refuse any application for a copyright coming within
the provisions of the law, and all questions as to priority or infringement are purely judicial questions,
with which the Librarian has nothing to do. A certificate of copyright is prima facie evidence of an
exclusive title, and is highly valuable as the foundation of a legal claim to the property involved in
the publication.
As no claim to exclusive property in the contents of a printed book or other article can be enforced
under the common law. Congress has very properly provided the guarantees of such property which
are embodied in the ' 'Act to revise, consolidate, and amend the statutes relathig to patents and copy-
rights, ' ' approved July 8, 1870. If you obtain a-.copyright under the provisions of this act, you can
claim damages from any person infringing your rights by printing or selling the same article ; but upon
all questions as to what constitutes an infringement, or what measures of damages can be recovered,
all parties are left to their proper remedy in the courts of the United States.

The A, L. A. was organized in 1876 and incorporated in 1879. Its present membership is some
600 in number, composed of leading librarians and libraries in all portions of the country, mcluding
various other individuals interested in its particular work. This national body organized at the Cen-
tennial in 1876 has already accomplished a great and steadily growing educational work. It has come
to be not merely a union of professional librarians, but includes a large number who appreciate that
the greatest educational problem before the country is the development of public libraries as a supple-
ment to the public schools, and who recognize in this association the organized forces now shaping the
modern library movement in America.

COLORED MASONIC BODIES.
Edward B. Irving, Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of the Most Ancient and
Honorable Fraternity of 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 5,000 names on its membership roll.
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 Yoi-k, organized in 1848, has jurisdiction over forty- two lodges, located in
diflferent parts of the State. The total membership is about 2. 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 Jrrand Lodge, Edward B. Irving, Albany, 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 v/ho have reached the 32d degree, A. A. S. Rite
(18th degree in England), or Knights Templars in good standing. There are 71 temples in the
United States, and a total membership of about 42,000.
The following are the imperial officers for the United States for 1897: Tmperial Potentate, Harri-
son Dingman, Washington, D. C. ; Imperial Deputy Potentate, Albert B. MbGatfey, Denver, Col. ;
Imperial Chief Rabban, Ethelbert F. Allen, Kansas Citj^, Mo. ; Imperial Assistant Mabban, John
H. Atwood, Leavenworth, Kan. ; Imperial High Priest aiid Prophet, William H. S. Wright, St. Paul,
Minn. ; Imperial Oriental Guide, Lou. B. Windsor, Reed City, Mich. ; Imperial Treasurer, William S.
Brown, Pittsburgh, Pa. ; Imperial Recorder, Benjamin W. RoweU, 28 School Street, Boston, Mass. ;
Imperial First Ceremonial Master ,'BA'Qxy C. Akin, Omaha, Neb. ; Imperial Second Ceremonial Master,
Allen Andrews, Hamilton, Ohio ; Imperial Marshal, Horace KLBlanchard, Providence, R. I. ; Imperial
Captain of Guards, George H. Green, Dallas, Te^: Imperial Outer Guard, George F. White, Daven-
port, Iowa. The next annual session will be held at Detroit, Mich. , June 8 and 9, 1897.
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 who 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.
<!^rtrtt of tjt 22astcrn ^tat%
This is a society composed of Masons in good and regular standing and their wives, mothers, 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: M. W. Grand Matron, Mrs. Jessie M. Ray, Rochester; M. W. Grand Patron,

This organization, incorporated in 1892, is composed of over 350 women' s clubs, having a member-
ship of 50,000 women in the United States and foreign countries. The purpose of the Federation is
declared in its articles of incorporation to be "to bring into communication with one another the
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 sectarianism
or political test is required, and, while the distinctively humanitarian movements maybe recognized,
their chief purpose is not philanthropic or technical, but social, literary, artistic, or scientific culture. "
Meetiugsof the Federation are held biennially, the last meeting having been in May, 1896. There
are 24 State federations auxiliary to the General Federation, and 450 single clubs in lorty-one States.
Several foreign clubs are members of the Federation— the Pioneer Club of Loadon, Woman's Club of
Wombay, and Educational Club of Ceylon, clubs in South Australia, etc.

Suman Cremation.
The Theosophical Society was founded in New York in November, 1875, and was reorganized in
1895 as the Tlieosophical Society in America. 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 sucli 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 ot 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 found, and
to all philosophei-s, 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 which alone a knowledge of :hem can be attained.
The Society represents no particular creed, is entirely uusectarian, 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 towards 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, membei-s 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 only 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
univftfsal brotherhood.
There are several great divisions of the Theosophical Society throughout the world, in Europe,
Asia, Africa, and Australasia. The first President of the Theosophical Society in America was
William Q. Judge, elected in April, lb95, as President for life. Mr. Judge died in March, 1896,
and at the next annual convention Mr. E. T. Hargrove was elected President for a term of
three years. Mr. Hargrove is also President of the Theosophical Society in Europe and of the Theo-
sophical Society in Australasia. All the great divisions of the Society are autonomous.
The Theosophical Society in America has jurisdiction in North and South America. There is an
American headquarters at No. 144 Madison Avenue, New York, where the Society owns a large house,
and where a Theosophical meeting is held every Tuesday evening and a public lecture given each
Sunday evening. The American Society now has 115 branches, located in most of the principal cities
and in many smaller towns. Addresses may be obtained from the headquarters at No. 144 Madison
Avenue, New Y^ork. Enquirers and applicants can address the President as above, enclosing a stamp.
This organization was founded by the Countess of Meath ; now has branches all over the world.
Each national branch has a central secretary, to whom all the local branches report, but each local
branch elects its own officers. These exist in almost every State of the Union.
The members of the Ministering Children's League are children, and associated with them are
parents, Sunday-school teachers, and others whose privilege it is to watch over the welfare of children,
and they join as ' 'associate members. ' ' Children of all ages and denominations are eligible for mem-
bership,and are invited to join; it is especially wished that the older ones become members, because
their example and influence will be of great value among younger brothers and sisters. The objects of
the League are stated to be: "To promote kindness, unselfishness, and the habit of usefulness among
children, and to create in their minds an earnest desire to help the needy and suffering; to aid the
necessities of the poor by supplying them with warm clothing, comforts, etc. " The rule ot the League
is: "Every member must try to do at least one kind deed every day." The motto of the League is:
"No day without a deed to crowTi it." Beds in charitable institutions are being supported by
' ' Ministering Children. ' ' A chapel for the Indians has been built through the exertions of one little
band of members in New York. It is difficult to estimate the good this League has done; but it has
certainly made ' homes happier,' taught members to become better sous and daughters, kinder broth-
ers and sisters, truer friends, and to be good to dumb beasts. And they are also trained to be useful and
helpful in every practicable way. " The Honoriible Central Secretary and heatl of the I^eague is the
Countess of Meath, 83 Lancaster Gate, London, W. , England. The Ctntfal i>ccreU(ry of the, United
States is Mrs, F. E, lienedict, 54 Lefferts Place, Brooklyn, N. Y.
uman i^rcmatiou,
Thkkb are twenty-three cremation societies or incorporated companies in the United States, At the crematory at Fresh
Pond, Long Island, N. Y., the price of incineration is $Sa. Children under 10 years, $2.5. This does not include transporta-
tion or undertaker's services. Is'o special preparation of the body or clothing is necessary. The body is always incinerated m the
clothing as received. The coffin in which the body is carried to the crematory is never allowed to be removed from the building, but is
burned after the incineration. In every instance of death from contagious disease the coffin will be burned with the body, and no expos-
ure of the body will be permitted. Incineration may be as private as the frien<^s of the dicea'ied desire. On the day following the
incineration the ashes ■will be deliverable at the office oi the company, in a receptacle provided by it, free of cost.

The first National Convention of the Luther League of America was held at Pittsburgh, Pa.,
October 30 and 31, 1895 The League is a Lutheran organization, linking together the Lutheran
young people who are laboring for the good of the Church by means of many individual societies of
various names and styles of organization, each within its own immediate church. The constitution
declares that its objects shall be "to encourage the formation of the young people's societies in all
Lutheran congregations in America, to urge their affiliation with their respective State or Territorial
leagues, and with this league to stimulate the various young people's societies to greater Christian
activity and to foster the spirit of loyalty to the Church." The aggregate enrolled membership of
the various local organizations represented in the national organization is over 55, 000. These are
comprised in twenty States, five of which already have permanent State organizations. The first
local society adopting the title of "The Luther League" was organized by delegates of six Luth-
eran Church societies in the city of New York, April 19, 1888. The next Convention will be held in
the city of New York in the Autumn of 1898.

Object: To unify throughout the world the worlc of women in temperance and social reform, and to

opium trades. Methods: Preventive, Educational, Evangelistic, Social, and Le^al. Time of Prayer:
Noontide. Badge: A Knot of WTiite Bibbon. Watchwords: Agitate! Organize! Motto: For God
and Home and Every Land.
The following statement of the purposes of the society was prepared for The Wori.i> AiiMAXAC by
the President, Frances E. WUIard:
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 except Alaska^ Its headquarters are in Chicago, lU. , where it has a Woman' s Tem-
perance Publishing 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 over $1,000 ,000, has been built in Chicago. The
National Society handled over $40,000 in 1891-92 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, presided
over by as many women experts, in the National Society, and in nearly every State. All the States in
the Eepublic except two have laws requiring the study of scientific temjDerance 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
minors. Most industrial homes for girls were secured through the efforts of this societj% 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
aU. the W. C. T. U. members, and is now a familiar emblem in every civilized countrJ^ A great petition
is being circulated in all parts of the world against legalizing the sale of opium and alcoholics. When
two millions of names have been secured, this petition is to be presented to aU the governments of the
world by a commission of women appointed for that purpose.

Christian Alliance.
The f ollovping statistics and statement of the purposes of the organization were prepared for The
"WoRLiD Almanac by Mr. John Willis Baer, General Secretary of the United Society of Christian
Endeavor:
Officebs of. the United Society of Christian Endeavor. —Office, No. 646 Washington
Street, Boston, Mass. President, Rev. Francis E. Clark, D. D. ; Treasurer, Wm. Shaw; General
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 eflBcient members of the Church of Christ. It is the Church training the young. Its
motto is, " For Christ and the Church." In November, 1896, there were 47,009 societies, with a
membership of 2,800,000, 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 endorsed 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 tc the needs of the local church.
The United Society is simply the bureau of information foi 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 of its literature, badges, etc. It is managed by a board of trustees, representing
the great evangelical denominations, the President being Francis E. Clark. D. D. , the founder of the
society: General Secretary, John Willis Baer; Treasurer, William Shaw; Trustees: Rev. C. A. Dick-
inson, D. D. , Boston, Mass. ; Rev. J. D. Hill, D. D. , Salem, Mass. ; Rev. R. W. Brokaw, Springfield,

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 ooligations 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 Fifth Avenue, New York City.
Its original circle of ten women, to which have been made some additions, forms now the Central
Council or Executive Board of the Order, The general officers are members of this Council. The
first meeting of the original circle was held in New York. City on January 13, 1886. It is now ten
years old, and it ranks among the strongest and most useful societies of the world. It issues a monthly
magazine called The Silver (yoss, which is most helpful to the members of the Order, and takes a
high rank among the religious and philanthropic periodicals of the country. Its work in aid of every
charitable object is effective and increasing. Any information concerning the Order may always be
secured by writing or calling at the headquarters, 156 Fifth Avenue, room 930, New York City.
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 differs 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

is a cross of silver, a Greek cross fleury, and its mottoes are ' ' Magnanimeter Crucem Sustine ' ' 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 constitution is framed, as far as is possible, in the terms of that of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew,

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 among men. It works under two rules, kno^\Ti as (1) The
Rule of 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 of 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' parish was started simply as a parochial organ-
ization, with no thought of its extending beyond the limits of 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 country. 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 hasgone on growing, and at present has spread to all parts of the United States. There
are now eleven 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 next convention will be international in character, and will
meet in Buffalo, N, Y., in October, 1897.
The officers for 1896-97 are : President, James L. Houghteling, 164 Dearborn Street, Chicago ; General
Secretary, John W. Wood, 281 Fourth Avenue, New York; Treasurer, John P. Faure, 281 Fourth
Avenue, New York ; Editor of <S^. Andrew' s Gross, John W. Wood, 281 Fourth Avenue. The General
Secretary will furnish information and documents to any one who may be interested in the work.

The following statistics and statement of the purposes of the organization were prepared for The
WOKLD Almanac by Rev. Edwin A. Schell, General Secretary of the Epworth League:
Officers of the Epwobth IjEaove.— President, Bishop William X. Ninde, Detroit, Mich.«c
Vice-JPresidents: Department of Spiritual Work, W. W. Cooper, Kenosha, Wis. ; Department of
Mercy and Help, Rev. W, I. Haven, 33 Marion Street, Brookline, Mass. ; Department of Literary
Work, R. R. Doherty, 150 Fifth Avenue, New York; Department of Social Work, Rev. H. C. Jennings,
Chicago, 111. ; General Secretary, Rev. Edwin A. Schell, 57 Washington Street, Chicago, 111. ; General
Treasurer, Gh&s. E. Piper, 108 La Salle Street, Chicago, 111. The Central Ofllce of the Epworth League
is located at 57 Washington Street, Chicago, 111.
The EpwortL League was formed in May, 1889, by the union of five societies then existing in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, which had under their united jurisdiction about 1,500 local societies, or
' ' chapters, ' ' and about 6, 000 members. On November 10, 1896, the Epworth League in the Methodist
Episcopal Church numbered 21,304 chapters, with a membership of 1,600,000.
Its purpose is to ^promote intelligent and loyal piety in the young members and friends of the
church, to aid them in religious development, and to train them in the works of mercy and help.
Its constitution provides for development along social, intellectual, and religious lines. Its essential
features are the weekly prayer-meeting, the ''intellectual" and ''mercy and help" departments, and
its harmony with the ofliciary of the church.
It has a weekly organ, the Epworth Herald, edited by Dr. Joseph F. Berry, with a circulation of
104,000. There are no salaried officers, except the General Secretary, the organization being entirely
voluntary, and no assessments on local chapters. The incidental expenses thus far have been paid by
voluntary contributions. The following table shows the total number of chapters composing the organ-
ization by States and Territories:

The American Christian Convention is the representative body of a large number of Christians
and churches, practically free ; they might be called independent, but associated for Christian activ-
ities. Their association has caused them to be considered a denomination ; and in a certain sense they
are, for they are named, but in the ordinary sense they are not a denomination. The Convention
represents over 100, 000 Free Christians.
Their only rule of religious faith and practice, professedly and in fact, is the Bible. Their fellow-
ship is determined by Christian character. They arose at the beginning of this century, in three differ-
ent sections of the country, New England in the East, Kentucky and Southern Ohio in the West, and
North Carolina and Virginia in the South, in each district being ignorant of the springing up of a people
in any other locality teaching the same doctrines. In general tendencies and principles they seem to
contemplate and secure a restoration of the Christianity and spirit of the early Church, as made known
in the New Testament. They are interested in and render assistance to many collegiate institutions.

THEprincipalpurposesof this organizatiou are: (1) To urge upon men the obligation of personal
purity: (2) to raise the tone of public opinion upon the subject of morality; (3) to secure proper legis-
lation in connection with morality.
The White Cross movement was begun, publicly, February 14, 1883, at Bishop- Auckland, Eng-
land, by the Bishop of Durham, Miss Ellice Hopkins being present and bearing a prominent part.
The work was taken up in this country by the Rev. B. F. De Costa, D.D., Rector of the Church or 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.
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 ; (5) to use
every possible means to fulfil the command, ' Keep thyself pure. ' ' '
The officers are: Presid^ni, Rev. B. F. De Costa, D.D. , New York; Secretary, Willoughby R
Smith, 224 Waverley Place, New York. The Central White Cross Committee, representing the
Protestant Episcopal Church at large. Is composed of the Protestant Episcopal Bishops of Chicago,
New York, Minnesota, Central New York, and Pittsburgh, Rev. Drs. Morgan Dix, J. H. Eccleston,
and D. Parker Morgan, with E. P. Dutton, of New York. The General Secretary is Rey, Dr.
De Costa, and the Treasurer E. P. Dutton. The annual meeting occurs in February.

Tkis association was organized in 1886. Its headquarters are at 33 East Twenty-second Street,
New York. Its objects are: To elevate opinion respecting the nature and claims of morality, with its
equal obligation upon men and women; to secure a proper, practical recognition of its precepts on the
part of the individual, the family, and the nation, and to enlist and organize the efforts of Christians
m protective, educational, reformatory, and legislative work in the interest of social purity. It
supplies emnloyment, funds, and advice to enable needy girls and women to gain an honorable
living. It forms clubs and societies of the young for their training in wholesome and honest intelli-
gence. It endeavors to instill the principles necessary for the prevention of immorality upon the
minds of young children and youth. It seeks to protect young girls from all forms of temptation,
and to prosecute those who deceive them. The League opened an industrial home at No. 6 East
Twelfth Street, New York, in 1895. Its primary purpose is to furnish a pleasant home at very mod-
erate prices for self-supporting women. The oflBcers of the League are as follows: I^esixient, Mrs.
E. B. Grannis; Vice-BresidenU, Mrs. M. P. Buchanan, Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee, Protestant

This association was organized in 1881 by Charles F. Deems, D. D. , Amory H. Bradford, D. D. ,
and William O. McDowell to cultivate the study of the relation between science and religion, and
especially to produce and circulate literature antagonizing agnosticism, materialism, and every other
form of false phUosoph.v. A successful Summer school was held at Chautauqua last year, at which
twelve addresses were delivered by representative men on "Christian Sociology." Its total mem-

July 5, 1865, by the Rev. William Booth, a minister of the ' *■ Methodist New Connection. ' ' The
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
given to the work ; 5, 469 corps or societies operating in thirty-eight countries and colonies in thirty- four

K^t TJoluntetris 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:
TheVolunteers of America is a religious organization, inaugurated in March last 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
tenderesf 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 (January 1, 1897) being ten months old ; that its growth has been during the heat of Summer and
m the midst or 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 three regi-
ments of ten battalions; 150 staff officers in positions or 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 seventy-six cities and towns, with 130 officered
organized posts, and has already over 400 commanding oflncers.
The Defenders' League comprises 2, 000 Defenders subscribing $5 each. " September, 1896, the
attendance at the indoor meetings was 247,000, while at the outdoor meetings the attendance was
140,000, making a total of 387, 000. When thisismultiplied by twelve a fair idea can be obtained of what
the attendance will be for a year." The practical government of the concern is in the hands of the
following councils: The National Executive Council, dealing with questions affecting finances,
property, etc. , and meeting at the center once or twice weekly; theGrand Field Council, which will
decide questions concerning appointments, promotions, 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 personal, of the Volunteer movement will be held by
a board of trustees of 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 was recently ordained a ^ 'Presbyter of the Church
of God in General." The Sacrament of the Holy Communion will be administered in the Volunteers'
meetingsby 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.

National .Sptrttualists* Association^
The following' statement has been prepared for The World Almanac by Mr. H. D, Barrett,
President of the Association:
The National Spiritualists' Association of the United States of America and Dominion of Canada
was organized September 29, 1893, in Chicago, 111., and incorporated November 1, 1893, under the
laws of the District of Coliunbia, where its permanent headquarters were established. Its objects are
" the organization of the various Spiritualist societies of the United States and Canada into one
general association, forthe purpose of mutual aid and cooperation in benevolent, charitable, educational,
literary, musical, scientific, religious, and missionary purposes, and enterprises germane to the
phenomena, science, philosophy, and religion of Spiritualism." There are 650 local associations
of Spiritualists in the United States and Canada, 12 State associations, and 52 camp-meeting
associations devoted to the interests of Spiritualism. The bona fide membership of these associations
may be safely placed at 150,000, while the total number of Spiritualists is estimated to be not less than
1,500,000 in the United States and Canada. Three hundred and fifty lecturers, ministers, and platform
mediums are now actively engaged in promulgating the doctrines of Spiritualism. The number of
?sychic3 now before the public for various phases of phenomenal manifestations is 1,500, while some
0,000 persons utilize their mediumistic gifts in their homes. The Spiritualists have 75 churches,
temples,auditoriums, etc., located over the country. The valuation of their public buildings, camp-
meeting property, and real estate is $1,150,000. The membership of the National Spiritualists'
Association consists of Spiritualist societies only, and its members are rapidly increasing. Ten regular
periodicals, weeklies, and monthlies in the interests of Spiritualism in the United States are pub-
lished.
The oflBcers for the year ending October 21, 1897Lare as follows: President, Harrison D. Barrett,
Lily Dale, N. Y. ; Vice-President, Mrs. Cora L. V. Kichmond, Chicago, 111. ; Secretary, Francis B.
Woodbury, Washington, D. C. ; Treasurer, George S. Clendaniel, Washington, D. C. ; Tnistees, Hon.
Luther V. Moulton, Grand Kapids, Mich. ; Dr. George A. Fuller, Worcester, Mass.; Mrs. Abby L.
Pettengill, Cleveland, Ohio; Frederick Fickey, Jr., Baltimore, Md.; Henry Steinberg, Washington,
D. C. The permanent headquarters of the Association are located at No. 600 Pennsylvania Avenue,
S. E., Washington, D. C. The fifth annual convention will be held in Masonic Tempie, Washington,
D. C, October 19, 20, 21, and 22, 1897.
The fiftieth anniversary of the advent of modern Spiritualism will be celebrated in a fitting
manner by an International Congress of Spiritualists, at Rochester, N. Y., March 21 to 31, 1898. It
was at Rochester where the famous " knockm'^s " first cballenged the attention of the world. This
congress will be instituted and controlled by the National Spiritualists' Association.

The Brotherhood of Christian Unity was founded in 1891, by Theodore F. Seward, of East Orange,
N. J, It is not intended to be a separate organization, but a help to other unifying movements, and
an education in the direction of unity. It affords a basis of agreement and fellowship among Christians
of all shades of religious opinion. Its motto is "• Love your neighbor, and respect his beliefs." No
fees or formalities are required for joining it. but merely signing, for enrollment, the Maclaren Life
Creed, which reads as follows: " I believe in the Fatherhood of God. I believe in the words of Jesus.
I believe in the clean heart. I believe in the service of love. I believe in the unworldly life. I
believe in the Beatitudes. I promise to trust God and follow Christ, to forgive my enemies, and to
seek after the righteousness of God." The oigan of the Brotherhood is The Christian Union, a monthly
journal. The most important work of the society in the year 1896 was sending an address to the
English-speaking peoples of the world through Dr. John Watson (Ian Maclaren), suggesting that the
above formula be adopted as a symbol of universal sympathy and fellowship among them. The
Secretary of the Brotherhood is Theodore F. Seward, 18 Wall Street, New York.
^Jtistian Science.
The following information about this faith and its followers was prepared [for The Woeld
Almanac by M. John Hi^ley, C.S., Austin, IlL :
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 are
123 organized churches, 131 places where regular Sunday services are held, but without a church
organization, and 65 dispensaries for the healing of patients and the free distribution of Christian
Science literature.
Rev. Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and founder of Christian Science, has taught 4,000
students at her Massachusetts Metaphysical College, in Boston, Mass. Her instruction to her normal
graduates is to form their own associations, churches, and dispensaries, as she has done before them.
The associations thus formed are called Students' Christian Scientists' Associations, each is numbered,
and each is composed of the students taught by the normal teacher under whom it is formed. These
associations are tributary to the National Christian Scientist Association, E. J. Foster Eddy, 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 Jri October, 1893, at
Chicago, and it was adjourned subject to the call of the leader. Rev. Mary Baker Eddy. The Boston
church, which was organized by Mrs. Eddy, is the mother church, and all Christian Scientists are
privileged to unite with it. Thi-y have completed a beautiful church edifice in the Back Bav between
Commonwealth and Huntington Avenues, Boston, Mass., at a cost of $221,000, exclusive of the land,
valued 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 throughout the
world are tributary to the mother church. The Christian Science Journal, published at Boston, is the
official organ of Christian Science.
Two hundred and ninety-three religious sects or organizations were>egistered in England and
Wales in 1896, according to Whitaker. Among them were organizations bearing the following names:
Army of the Lord, Baptized Belierers, Believers in Joanna Southcott, Benevolent Methodists, Bunyan
Baptists, Children of God, Christians Gathered in the Name of the Lord, Christians Owning No Name
But Lord Jesus, Eclectics, Full Salvationists, Hozanna Army, Loving Brethren, New and Latter
House of Israel , Particular Baptists, Peculiar People, Ranters, Recreative Religionists, Strict Baptists,
Theistic Church, Univei-sal Christians, and Worshippers of God.

CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS.
(Statement prepared for The World Almanac by First President Wilf ord Woodruff. )
The following statement of the doctrines of the Church was issued with the approval of the Prophet
Joseph. Smith:
1. We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His Son Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost.
2. We believe that men will be punished for their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression.
3. We believe that through the atonement of Christ all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the
Giospel.
4. We believe that these ordinances are : First, Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ ; second, Repentance ; third, Baptism by im-
mersion for the remission of sins ; fourth. Laying on of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost.
5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by "Prophecy, and by tne laying on of hands," by those who are in
authority to preach the Gospel and administer in the ordinances thereof.
6. We Delieve in the same organization that existed in the primitive chorch, viz.: Apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers,
evangelists, etc.
7. We believe in the gift of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc.
8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as it is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be
the word of God.
9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and
important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
10. We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in the restoration of the Ten Tribes; that Hon will be built npon this
continent; that Christ will reign personally upon the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisic glory.
11. We claim the privilege of worshiping Almighty God according to the dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the
same privilege, let them worship how, where, or what they may.
12. We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, rulers, and magistrates, in obeying, honoring, and sustaining the law.
13. We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men ; indeed, we may say that we
follow the admonition of Paul. " We believe all things, we hope all things," we have endured many things, and hope to be able to
endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report, or praiseworthy, we seek after theae things.

REORGANIZED CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS.
(Compiled from a statement furnished by Elder R. S. Salyards, Secretary.)
The Reorganized Church claims to be the successor to and \ continuation of the original church,
organized by divine direction of Joseph Smith and others, April 6, 1830. It has no aflfiliation with
the church in Utah. It claims to represent primitive Christianity in faith, in church organization,
and in spiritual experience.
In the epitome of the doctrines of the Reorganized Church, the paragraphs which appear in the
statement of the Utah Church above numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 11 are the same. The other para-
graphs are as follows;
We believe in the Eeanrrection of the Body ; that the dead in Christ will rise first, and the rest of the dead will not live again
until the thousand years are expired.
We believe in the doctrine of Eternal Judgment, which provides that men shall be judged, rewarded, or punished according to
the degree of good, or evil, they shall have done.
We believe that a man must be Called of God, and ordained by the Laying on of Hands of those who are in authorily, to entitle
hirri to preach the Gospel, and Administer in the Ordinances thereof.
We believe that in the Bible is contained the word of God, so far as it ia translated correctly. We believe that the canon of
Scripture is not full, but that God, by His Spirit, will continue to reveal His word to man until the end of time.
We believe in the powers and girts of the everlasting Gospel, viz. : The gift of faith, discerning of spirits, prophecy, revelation,
healing, visions, tongues, and the interpretation of tongues, wisdom, charity, brotherly love, etc.
We believe that Marriage is ordained of God ; and that the law of God provides for but one companion in wedlock, for either
man or woman, except in cases where the contract of marriage is broken by death or transgression.
We believe that the doctrines of a plurality and a community of wives are heresies, and are opposed to the law of God.
We believe that in all matters of controversy upon the duty of man towards God and in reference to preparation and fitness for
the world to come, the word of God should be decisive and the end of dispute; and that when God directs man should obey.
We believe that the religion of Jesus Christ, as taught in the New Testament Scriptures, will, if its precepts are accepted and
obeyed, make men and women better in the domestic circle, and better citizens of town, county, and State, and consequently better
fitted for the change which cometh at death.
We believe that men should worship God in " Spirit and in trutt ;" and that such worship does not require a violation of the
constitutional l&yf o£ the land.
The official headquarters are at Lamoni, Decatur County, Iowa. Churches are established in the
United States, Canada, Great Britain, Australia, etc. Enrollment about 30,000; includmg all mem-
bers of families, about 75,000.

increase and diffusion of knowledge regarding the Scotch-Irish people^ the keeping alive of the charac-
teristic qualities and sentiments of the race, the promotion of intelligent patriotism, and the
development of social intercourse and fraternal feeling. ' ' State societies are bemg formed, and the
growth of the organization is expected to be large, as the race is widely extended over the Union, and

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, Lieutenant-Governor, Member of the Council, or
as a military, naval, or marine officer in the service or 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, and State societies have also been organized in Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Illinois, Vermont, Missouri, Virginia, and
the District of Columbia.

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 designedtotypify the President and the Governors of the thirteen
original States. William Mooney was the first Grand Sachem. The Society 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 nome 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, employinent 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 eight, 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 managei-s, whereupon a blank application will be sent to him, or he can apply personally
or by letter at the branch neare.st to his place of residence.
requirements for admission.
1. An honorable discharge Trom 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 rules 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 bv
the liw establishing the Home the members are made subj'ect 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 b^ the War or Navy Department, or by
the Adjutant-General of the State, must accompany 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

UNITED STATES HOME FOR REGULAR ARMY SOLDIERS.
The United States Soldiers' Home in the District of Colmnbia receives and maintains discharged
soldiers of the regular army. All soldiers who have served twenty years as enlisted men in the army
(including volunteer sei"vice, if any), and all soldiers of less than twenty years' service who have in-
curred such disability, by wounds, disease, or injuries in the Ibxeof duty while in the regular army^ as
unfits them for further service, are entitled to the benefits of the Home.
A pensioner who enters the Home may assign his pension, or any part of it, to his child, wife, or parent,
by filing written notice with the agent who pays him. If not so assigned, it is drawn by the treasurer
of the Home and held in trust for the pensioner, to whom it is paid in such sums as the commissioners
deem proper while he is an inmate of the Home, the balance being paid in full when betakes his dis-
charge and leaves the Home. Inmates are subject to the Rules and Articles of War, the same as
soldiers in the army. They are comfortably lodged, fed, and clothed, and receive medical attendance
and medicine, all without cost to them. There are 1,250 men now receiving the benefits of the Home.
The Board of Commissioners consists of ' ' the General-in-Chief commanding the army, the Surgeon-
General, the Commissary-General, the Adjutant-General, the Quartermaster-General, the Judge-
Advocate-General, and the Governor of the Home. ' '
Applications for admission to the Home may be addressed to the "Board of Commissioners,
Soldiers' Home, War Department, Washington City, D. C. , " and must give date of enlistment and
date of discharge, with letter of company and number of regiment for each and every term of service,
and rate of pension, if any, and must be accompanied by a medical certificate showing nature and
degree of disability, if any exists.
Kf^t National jFlafl.
On the admission of Utah to the Union as a State in 1896, another star, the forty- fifth, was
added to the National flag. The star is placed to the right of the fourth row from the top. The order
was accompanied by one changing the size of the colors. Heretofore the standard had been 6 feet
by 5. The new order makes the regulation size 5 feet 6 inches by 4 feet 4 inches. The order provides
for the new colors to be issued to all infantry, artillery, and the battalions of engineers, and also for
new standards for all cavalry.

Congress, January 27, 1896, adopted the following concurrent resolution:
"■Resolved, That it is the imperative duty, in the interest of humanity, to express the earnest hope
that the European concert, brought about by the treaty referred to (in the preamble), may speedily
be given its just effect, in such decisive measures as shall stay the hand oi fanaticism and lawless
violence, and as shall secure to the inoffending Christians of the Turkish empire all the rights belong-
ing to them, both as men and Christians, and as beneficiaries of the explicit provisions of the treaty
above recited. ' '
It was further resolved that the President be requested to communicate these resolutions to the
governments of Great Britain, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, and Russia, and that Congress will
support the President in the most vigorous action he may take for th« protection and security of
American citizens in Turkey.

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 of this vast event as the mutual friendships which have
been formed under the pressure of common danger, and, in many instances,
cemented by the blood of the parties, the oflQcers 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, and in failure thereof the collateral branches
who may be judged worthy of becoming its supporters and members. ' '
For convenience, thirteen State societies were formed, and one in France, under the direct
Eatronage of Louis XVI. Upon the roll of original members appeared the names of all the great
istoric 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 BIGHT TO MEMBERSHIP.
All Continental oflBcers 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 vfho had continued to the end of the war, and all French officers
who had served in the cooperatmg 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 of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
(revived 1893), New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Marv'land, and South Carolina, and the one
in France, which was dispersed at the Reign of Terror in 17^3, 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 of 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 ' ' Sons of 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. ' '
Eligibility 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 Sons of the Revolution are as foUows : President—
Frederick Samuel Tallmadge. Vice-President— 3siTQ.es W. Beekman. (Stecretor?/— Charles Isham,

The general society of the "Sons of the Revolution" was organized by delegates from the then
existing State societies in 1890. There are now twenty-eight State, societies, and others are in process
of organization. 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, Chairman of the Organ-
ization Committee, 62 New Street, New York City.

The National societj' of "Sons of the American Ilevolution' ' was organized in New York April 30,
1889, and chartered in Connecticut in 1890. Its purposes are the same as those of the older organiza-
tion, the "Sons of the Bevolution.' ' State societies exist in thirty- two States and the District of Colum-
bia. A California societ J' of descendants of Revolutionary patriots, entitled "Sons of Revolutionary
Sires," organized July 4, 1876, having reorganized and changed its name in 1889, has been admitted
to membership. A formal movement by this society and the ' 'Sonsof the Revolution' ' towards 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, and negotiations are pending. As the motives of the two
societies are the same, it is expected that they will eventually become one organization. The follow-
ing is a list of the State societies organized, their membership, presidents, and secretaries, as reported
in the National Year Book of the society recently published:

OF THE UNITED STATES.
The Military Order of Foreign Wars of the United States was instituted in ttie city of New York,
December 27, 1894, by veterans and descendants of veterans of one or more of ttie four foreign wars
whicti ttie United States has been engaged in, to wit: The War of the Bevolution, the War with
Tripoli, the War of 1812, and the Mexican War, ' 'to perpetuate the names and memory of brave and
loyal men who took part in establishing and maintaining the principles of the Government" in said
wars, and ''to preserve records and documents relating to said wars, and to celebrate the anniver-
saries of historic events connected therewith. ' '
Members are entitled ' 'companions, ' ' and are either ' 'veteran companions' ' or ' 'hereditary com-
panions. ' ' The former are commissioned officers of the army, navy, or marine corps of the United
;~<^ates who participated in any of the foreign wars of the United States. The latter are direct lineal
desc ndants, in the male line only, of commissioned officers who served honorably in any of the said
wars. Commanderies may be established in each of the States, and State commanderies now exist in
the States of New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Illinois, California, Massachusetts, and Florida,
and are in course of formation in Ohio, Maryland, and the District of Columbia.

for its object "the preservation of individual records of service under fire and to collect and preserve
for the future the true history of the war of 1861-65 as made by the soldiers and sailors under the fire
of the enemy. While not a secret or political association its members are bound together by the ties
formed amid the crash and carnage of cattle. Any one who was actually under fire of the enemy or
who was wounded or taken prisoner in action during the late war is eligible to membership, and a
certificate of service under fire is Lssued to the members that is positively and unquestionably a cor-
rect and true record of service. ' '

of the Comrades of the Battlefield "has its headquarters at St Louis, Mo. Membership is composed
of all descendants, male and female, of members of the first-named order.

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 144 encampments. The membership 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, ■v.ho 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 or duty; but no drafted person, nor substitute, nor any one who
has at any lime 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,
norwere there any fears of a draft; consequently, 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. " An article of the
rules provides that " No officer or comrade of the Union Veteran Legion shall in any manner use this
organization for partisan purposes, and no discussion of partisan questions shall be permitted at any of
its meetings. ' '

' 'to unite in bearing each other' s burdens ; to care for the widows and orphans ; to keep alive the naemory
of our participation in the events and perils of the war, and to preserve and perpetuate the principles
for which we fought; to i recognize the rights of the Union soldier to positions of public trust, and his
preferment over all others for employment under the Government, he being fitted and qualified for the
position he applies for. " Total membership, 65,000. The headquarters, until the next annual en-
campment, are at Lima, Ohio.

Tenn., established by S. A. Cunningham, is the official organ.
This association was organized at New Orleans June 10, 1889. Its avowed purpose is strictly social,
literary, historical, and benevolent. Its constitution says that it "■ ' will endeavor to unite in a general
federation all associations of Confederate veterans, soldiers, and' sailors now in existence or hereafter
to be formed; to gather authentic data for an impartial history of the war between the States; to pre-
serve relics or mementoes of the same; to cherish the ties of friendship that should exist among men
who have shared common dangers, common sufferings, and privations; to care for the disabled and
extend a helping hand to the needy; to protect the widows and the orphans, and to make and preserve
a record of the resources of every member, and, as far as possible, of those of our comrades who have
preceded us in eternity. ' ' State organizations are authorized, and are called Divisions. The present
headquarters of the association are at New Orleans, La. Number of members, according to last report,
about 40,000. The last reunion of the veterans was at Richmond, Va. , in June, 1896. Tiie next
reunion will be at Nashville, Tenn, , at a time to be fixed

The United Daughters of the Confederacy was organized at Nashville, Tenn., September 10,
1894. It is composed of the widows, wives, mothers, sisters, and lineal female descendants of men
who served honorably in the Army and Navy of the Confederate States, or who served in the Civil
Service of the Confederate States or one of the Southern States, or who gave personal services to the
Confederate cause. There are local federations, governed by State divisions, which in turn are sub-
ordinate to the National organization. The objects of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, as
stated in the constitution of the Society, are "social, literary, historical, monumental, benevolent,
and honorable in every degree, without any politicalsignification whatever." It will endeavor: (1) To
unite in the Federation all bodies of Southern women now organized or that may hereafter be
formed. (2) To cultivate ties of friendship among our women whose fathers, brothers, sons, and,
in numberless cases, mothers, shared common dangers, sufferings, and privations; and to perpetuate
honor, integrity, valor, and other noble attributes of true Southern character. (3) To instruct and
instil into the descendants of the people of the South a proper respect for and pride in the glorious war
history, with a' veneration and love for the deeds of their forefathers which have created such a
monument of military renown, and to perpetuate a truthful record of the noble and chivalric
achievements of their ancestors. All with the view of furnishing authentic information from which a
conscientious historian will be enabled to write a correct and impartial history of the Confederate
side during the struggle for Southern independence. The organization now has ninety chapters in the
Southern States, Caifornia, and the Indian Territory, with about 5,000 members. The next annual
meeting will be at Baltimore, Md.
346 League of American Wheelmen.
Ideational Heafiue for t\)t Jlrotrction oC American
Kni^titutions*
This absolutely non-partisan and unsectarian organization was incorporated December 24, 1889.
The General Secretary has prepared the following statement of the objects of 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 Avith such institutions,
and to prevent all sectarian or denominational appropriations of public funds. ' '
As a means of securing the foregoing objects, the following proposed XPT. Amendment to the Con-
stitution 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, forthe 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, orundertakingwhicniswholly or inpart under sectarian or eccles-
iastical control. ' '
During its six years of judicious educational and aggressive work the League has secured the
withdrawal from the receipt of Government appropriations for the support of denominational educa-
tion among the Indians of the Protestant Episcopal, Presbyterian, Methodist Episcopal, and Congrega-
tional churches, and the Orthodox Friends. It has also received the endorsement of the proposed XVI.
Amendment by these Churches and by the Baptists, United Presbyterians, Methodist Protestants, and
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. It has secured action on the part of the United States
Senate, which promises a speedy settlement of the important question of sectarian appropriations for
Indian education. The Constitutions of twenty-five States now contain provisions against a divis-
ion of the Common School Fund and against sectarian appropriations. In the new Constitution
of New York State, a notable advance was secured in the assertion of the principles advocated by the
League. The various American patriotic orders, representing over 4,000,000 voters, have given the
proposed XVI, Amendment hearty endorsement, 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 Secretarj\
The officers are : I^reMdent, William H. Parsons; Vice-IYesident, Dorman B. Eaton; General Secre-
tarij, James ]\L King; Treasurer, William Fellowes Morgan; Zaiv Committee, William Allen Butler,

First— To multiply the numbers, harmonize the methods, and combine the forces of all who realize
that it is only by united action and organization that good citizens can secure the adoption of good laws
and tlie selection of men of trained ability and proved integrity for all municipal positions, or prevent
the success of incompetent or corrupt candidates for public ofiice.
Second— To promote the thorough investigation and discussion of the conditions and details of civic
administration, and of the methods for selecting and appointing officials in American cities, and of
laws and ordinances relating to such subjects.
Third— To provide for such meetings and conferences and for the preparation and circulation of
such addresses and other literature as may seem likely to advance the cause of good city government.
The League is composed of associations formed in cities of the United States, and having as an ob-
ject the improvement of municipal government. It has no connection with State or National parties
or issues, and confines itself strictly to municipal affairs. Any association belonging to the League
may withdraw at any time.
In affiliation with the National League are over seventy municipal reform associations, comprised
of the Good Government Clubs, Municipal Leagues, Reform Leagues, Taxpayers' Associations, and
other local reform associations of cities throughout the Union.

CONDITIONS OF SERVICE AND AVALLABLE STRENGTH OF POWERa
Every year the young men who attain the age in which they are available for military service are
enrolled, in advance, in every European country. These ages run generally from 21 to 45, and this
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
which they are never called out, except in time of war, and then for defence of the fatherland only.
Austria-Hungary. —The registered number of young men attaining the military age for 1895
was 340,000. After the exemptions, postponements, etc. , the number fit for service was 180,000.
Of this number but 126,000 were drawn for service, as follows: To the army, including the navy,
103,000; to the Landwehr, 23,000. Obligatory service commences on first day of January of year

the man attains 21 years. It runs three 3'ears in active army, seven years in reserve of active army,
two years in the Landwehr, and the rest of the time, up to end of forty-fifth year, in the Landsturm.
France. —The registered number of young men for 1895 was 330,138. After making deductions
for exemptions, etc. , there remained 244,600 fit for service. To this number were added 72,000
postponed and exempted from previous years. Liability to service rests on all classes of the republic
uniforml}'. It commences with twentieth year and continues for twenty-five years, as follows:
Three years with colors or active army, ten years in active army reserve, six years in territorial re-
serve, and six years in reserve of territorial army.
C4KRMANY. —The registered number ot young men in 1895 was 437,000, and the number required
to fill annualcontingent\vas228,000 men. In addition to these thervi were 9, 000 one- year volunteers.
Military liability begins with the completion of the seventeenth year and ends with completion of
fortj'-fiith year. Itistermed " wehrpflicht. " It is divided into two classes, "dienstpflicht" and
' 'landsturmpflicht, ' ' or, as we should say, ' 'service liability ' ' and ' ' Landsturm liability. ' ' The first
begins on the first of January of the year the young man completes his twentieth year, and continues
till March 31 of his thirty- ninth year. Under this category his service is divided into service with
colors, service in the reserve, and service with the Landwehr. He enters the first division and serves
there two years. He is then dismissed for five 5 ears on unlimited leave, during which time he is
called out for two trainings of eight weeks each. He then i^asses to the firet ban of the Landwehr, in
which he remains for five years, and is called out for two trainings of two weeks each. On completion
of his thirty-second year he passesinto the second ban of the Landwehr, and remains till the end of
thirty-ninth year. Thence into the Landsturm, and at end of forty-fifth year his obligation to mili-
tary service is completely ended. In many ways military service is easier in Germany than in any
other continental power.
Italy. —The registered number of young men in 1895 was 294,000, and after exemptions were
made, the number remaining was 100,000. Adding exemptions of former years and volunteers, the
number with the colors was 177, 400. Service is universal, and lasts for nineteen years. Service with
the colors is for two years. The men are then given unlimited leave until the end of December of the
thirteenth year of service, during which time they are liable to be called out for thirty days' service a
year. Inthefirstsixyearsof this leave they constitute the mobile militia, or active army reserve; the
remaining four, together with the time up to end of thirty-ninth year, they are in theterritorialmilitia.
Russia. —The number of registered young men in 1895 was 954, 000, of which 268, 000 were incor-
porated in the active army and 218, 000 in the militia. Service is of two kinds, with the active army and
Its reserve, and with the militia. The service with the active army is for eighteen years, divided into
five years with the colors and thirteen years in the reserve of the active armj'. All men capable of
bearing arms, and who are not in active army or its reserve or are exempted, and are between the
ages of 21 and 43 years, constitute the militia. This is divided into two bans, the first being those who
have served in the active army or reserve and are still under 44 years of age. All the rest constitute
the second ban. Three years of training at home is all that is required for the first ban.

350 Rifles Used by the JPrincipal I^owers of the World.
RIFLES USED BY THE PRINCIPAL POWERS OF THE VfORlAi-CcmUnued.
During 1896 but little change was made by any power in the armament of its troops. The
small-arm rifle of small calibre has been universally adopted not only by European powers, but also
all Asiatic and South American powers. The smaller calibres, should they prove all that is
claimed for them, will of course be adopted by those countries that have the calibre . 30 to .37 inch.
Nothing will stand in the way of re-armament wherever there is decided improvement, notwith-
standing the cost. Indeed, Germany has concluded to follow France, and adopt a calibre of . 27 inch,
while Russia is turning out many thousands of guns of that calibre. In America the United States
Army has been supplied entirely with the new Krag- Jorgenson gun, calibre .30, which is still held by
army authorities to stand at the head of all military rifles so far invented. Its tests have proven its
superiority over all other guns of either larger or smaller sizes. The Navy still sticks to its calibre,. 256
inch. In the State of New York a board of militia oflacers decided to adopt the American Savage gun,
an excellent weapon. The Governor of New York, however, disapproved of its adoption on the
ground that the State troops should be armed with the gun furnished them by the United States.
Without doubt the small-arm military rifle that stands at the head of the list is the Mexican—
the Mondragon. This is a gun invented by Major Manuel Mondragon, of the Mexican Artillery, and
for precision and rapidity of fire, simplicity of mechanism, facility in working weapon, and solidity
and lightness of cartridge complete, it excelled in exhaustive tests all other guns. It is capable of
three kinds of fire— slow fire, where the rapidity does not exceed 15 shots per minute; repeatmgfire,
where the number of shotsmay reach 40 per minute; rapid fire, where it is claimed as high as 80
per minute may be delivered. A bullet, the invention of Charles Kmka, of Prague, has created a
new field of thought and exploration in the science of small-arm firmg. Inventors point out
that one of the main causes that influences a bullet detrimentally and decreases its velocity is the
resistance opposed to it by the atmosphere. This arises from, first, the condensation of air strata in
front; and second, the formation of a vacuum immediately behind the bullet. To overcome this the
invention of Krnka'sisa tubular bullet— that is, a projectUe pointed at both ends and having an air
passage or channel through it from end to end. It has been claimed that a velocity of 3, OOO feet per
second has been obtained with this bullet, as against 2, 350, the highest with ordinary bullets.
The notable invention of Herr Borchardt of the automatic repeating pistol seems to have proved
all that was claimed for it. Yet it has not been adopted definitely by the German Government, only a
small number having been ordered for service wear. A definite decision will be made in another year
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:
PeruniteB, 17.57; Perunite C, la 61 ; PeruniteD,13.66; Explosive Gelatine, 10,0; Back- a- rock.
9,36: Emmensite, 5.49; Gun Cotton, 3.16; U. S. Rifle Powder, 3^ 72 inches.
The foregoing refers to blasting effects chieflj'' and does not give their value as powders that can
be used 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 tnat
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 mixture of aluminum filings and sodium dioxide took fire with
explosivo violence when in contact with a little moisture. The preparation is very dangerous, since,
when it takes fire, 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. As
against these, however, the other side holds that the ranges being greater, the difficulty of properly
estimating distances are so much increased that fire will be less accurate. Also, the ravages pro-
duced by the enemy's fire will be more clearly seen and felt by the soldier. The effect will be as
demoralizing to him a3 to the enemy. It is human nature to fear that which is hidden more than that
which 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
Tear- Book, ' ' except for British Africa 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.

The J3ritish Parliainent.
W^z Jiritisi^ jparliament
The supreme legislative powar of the British Empire is, by its constitution, vested in Parliament.
This body is divided into two houses, the Lords and the Commons.
THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
The House of Lords is composed of the whole Peerage of England, and of certain representatives of
the peerages of Scotland and Ireland, but many members of these latter have also English titles, which
give them seats in the House. The Duke of Buccleuch sits as Earl of Doncaster, and the Duke of
Leinster as Viscount Leinster. Exclusive of 13 minors and 1 baron, whose claim is not established,
the House at present consists of 6 I'nnces of the Blood, 2 Archbishops, 21 Dukes, 22 Marquises, 116
Earls, 25 Viscounts, 24 Bishops, 299 Barons, 16 Scottish Representative Peers elected for each Parlia-
ment, and 28 Irish Representative Peers elected for life (1 Scottish and 2 Irish Representative Peers
are also included as Peers of England)— in all, 559 members.
The Lord Chancellor of England is always the Speaker of the House of Lords.

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 taritt's of the
countries of Latin America reduced to the United States equivalents; also handbooks of these coun-

years. The members of both Houses receive salaries of S3, 000 each a year.
The President is elected by electors popularly chosen in a general election, holds office for
four years, and, according to the last Amendment of the Constitution, there \^ill be no prohibition
to his re-election. In case of his temporary disability, the Secretary of State officiates in his
place ; in case of death or permanent disability. Congress elects a pro tempore President, who
acts until a President is elected by the people. 'Congress has to meet annually from September
16 to December 15, and from April 1 to May 31, and a permanent committee of both Houses sits
dviring the recesses.

* New York State census of 1892. The population of the territory embraced within the limits of
"Greater New York" as proposed by the commission is about 3,100,000. This will constitute the
New York of the immediate future the second city of the world, t There has been no official census
of Chicago since 1890. For thepresentMaj'or's estimate see page 383. 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 1896. For Cities of the United States see page 379.
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
inhabitants are numbered by 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 is
reason td'believe that the estimates of population in many instances covered districts of country 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 tbe Army. The Commissioners appoint
the subordinate official service of said government. The present Commissioners are John W. Ross
(Democrat), President, who.se term will expire February 1,1897; George Truesdell (Republican), whose
term will expire March 6, 1897^ Captain Charles F. Powell (non-partisan), Corps of Engineers,
United States Army, detailed during the pleasure of the President of the United States. The Secretary
is William TindalL 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 tbe people, and a Council appointed by the
President of the United States. This form of government was not a success, and wa? abolished June
20, 1874, and a temporary government by three Commissioners substituted. The temporary gov-
ernment by Commissioners was so satisfactory that the pi-esent form of government by three Com-
missioners was incorporated by act of July 11, 1878. Congress makes all laws for the District, but has
entrusted to the Commissionei-s 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.

392 United States Naval Academy at Annapolis.
WLniitn states iWilttars ^catrcm^ at Witnt J^otnt,
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 Teventy-one. At
present there is one extra cadet at the Academy, who was authorized by Congress to enter it at his
own expense from Venezuela.
Appointments are usually made one year In advance of date of admission, by the Secretary of
War^ upon the nomination of the Representative. Tliese nominations may either be made after com-
petitive examination or given direct, at the option of the Representative. The Representative may
nominate a legallj'' qualified second candidate, to be designated the alternate. The alternate will 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 historv of the United States.
The course of instruction, which is quite thorough, requires four years, and is largely mathemati-
cal and professional. The prmcipal subjects taught ai*e mathematics, French, drawing,dnllregulatious
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 thoseappointed 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 offences is inflexible rather than severe. Academic duties begin
September 1 and continue until June 1. Examinations are held in each January and June, and cattets
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
. ..... ^ . , 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 1896 has been three thousand seven hundred and forty-one
(3,741). 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 ot officers of
the army.
The Academy was established by act of Congress in 1802. An annual Board of Visitors is appointed,
seven l)eing 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 Engineers, and the military and academic staff consists of sixty-four per-
sons. Captain Wilber E. Wilder, Fourth Cavalry, is adjutant.
WLwiit^ <States Nabal iCcatrnitg at ^nnapoHis*
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
appointment 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 Academy
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 Division and the Engineer Division, the numbers of these divisions bemg proixjrtioned 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 till vacancies iu 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
sui-plus graduates from the latter.
At least ten 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 super\'ision of the Bureau of Navigation, Navy Department. Captain P. H. Cooper,
United States Navy, is the present Superintendent.

The origin of the Navy Department maybe 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 entrusted to a " Marine Committee. ' ' In 1798 the present department was formally created,
and Benjamin Stoddart appointed the first Secretary.

THE PROPOSED NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY BRIDGE.
COMMISSIONERS' OFFICE, 214 BROADWAY, NEW YORK.
Andrew H.Green, Chairman; Charles M. VaiL Evan Thomas, R. Somers Hayes, Isidor Straus,
Commissioners; Evan Thomas, Secretary j Charles H. Swan, Assistant Secretary.
The act of Congress directed the commission to recommend what length of span not less than 2, 000
feet would be safe and practicable for a railroad bridge between Fifty- ninth and Sixty-ninth Streets,
New York City. In making comparative estimates the Commissioners of the New York and New
Jersey Bridge and the Sinking Fund Commissioners of the city of New York selected a location mid-
way between Fifty-ninth and Sixtieth Streets, but the difference between this location and one further
north, within the limits of the act, was considered so far as it affected the general conclusions. The
maximum length of span which may be considered is 3, 110 feet Guaranteed cost of the bridge is
$25,000,000. The law provides that the bridge must be completed within ten years.
The Union Bridge Company have made a contract with the companies to construct the bridge
withinsixyearsfromthetime they commence work, and give a bond of $1,000,000 for the faithful
performance of the contract It is expected to commence work in the Spring of 1897.

Oeoanized April 5,1768. Incorporated by George the Third March 13, 1770. Reincorporated by
the State of New York April 13, 17S4. 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 gi-eater 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 carry into execution, encourage, and promote,
by just and lawful vrays and m^eans, 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 Sandj' Hook
Lighthouse was lighted up for tne 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 specific instead of an ad vatorem tariff— a system, of which the
Chamber of Commerce has ever since been the constant advocate.
As a society the Chamber of Commerce consists of one thousand 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 olfices and meeting rooms are at 32 Nassau St., New York. Officers: Presid&ntt Alexander
E. Orr ; /Secreiarj/, George WU.son ; ^-ea^urer, Solon Humphreys.

FOOTBALL RECORDS— Ci»iimM«d.
AMERICAN FOOTBALL UNION.
The Crescent and Orange Athletic Clubs did not meet in 1895. There waa considerable trouble
over the selection of the date and other matters. The Crescent Athletic Club appeared at Eastern
Parle November 16, and as the Orange Athletic Club did not put in an appearance, they claimed the
championship The Crescents also claimed the possession of the silver cup, emblematic of the cham-
Dionship.
In 1896 the Crescent Athletic Club failed to place a nine In the field on th« plea that the game had
cost too much the season before.
In lieu of a game with the Crescents, the Orange A. C. played the Elizabeth A. C. team on Election
Day, the score being 0 to 0. Another game, played on isovember 14, also resulted in a tie, the score
standing 6 to 6.

THE GREATEST SUNDAY PUBLICATION.
The SuNDAT WoBLD has kept pace with its week-day relatives in everything that goes to make up
a great newspaper, and, besides, has made for itself a reputation unique in Sunday literature. That it
has become tne standard and model among Sunday publications is evidenced in the lavish and most
articles by the brightest authorities on all subjects and themes of the hour— all contribute to the most
complete Sunday publication ever issued. The popularity of the Sunday World grows and grows,
like Jack's beanstalk, and the fact that it passed the six- hundred- thousand mark October 4, while
yet the days were warm and balmy. Inviting Sunday idlers to come forth from their homes and disport
themselves with nature, illustrates the great hold which this colossal Sunday Is ewspaper, Magazme,
Review, and Humorous Weekly has upon the likings of the people.

"THE TRIUMPH OF LOV;
IS HAPPY,
FRUITFUL
MARRIAGE."
Every Man Who Would Know the Grand Truths, the
Plain Facts, the New Discoveries of Medical Science
as Apphed to Married Life, Who Would Atone for
Past Errors and Avoid Future Pitfalls, Should Secure
the Wonderful Little Book Galled "Complete Man-
hood, and How to Attain It."
"Here at last is information from a high
medical source that must work wonders with
this generation of men. ' '
The book fully describes a method by which
to attain full vigor and manly power.
A method by which to end all unnatural
drains on the system.
To cxire nervousness, lack of self-control, de-
spondency, etc.
To exchange a jaded and worn nature for
one of brightness, buoyancy, and power.
To cure forever effects of excesses, overwork,
worry, etc.
To give full strength, development and tone
to every portion and organ of the body.
Age no barrier. Failure impossible. Two
thousand references.
The book is purely medical and scientific,
useless to curiosity seekers, invaluable to men
only who need it.
A despairing man, who had applied to us,
soon after wrote :
' 'WeU, I tell you that first day is one I' 11
never forget. I just bubbled with joy. I
wanted to hug everybody and tell them my
old self had died yesterday and my new self
was bom to-day. Why didn't you tell me
when 1 first wrote that I would find it this
way ?' '
And another thus :
' 'If you dxmiped a cart load of gold at my feet
it would not bring such gladness into my life as
your method has done. ' '
Write to the ERIE MEDICAL COMPANY,
Buffalo, N. Y., and ask for the little book
called ' ' COMPLETE MANHOOD. ' ' Refer to
this Almanac, and the company promises to
send the book, in sealed envelope, without any
marks, and entirely free, until it is well in-
troduced.

Cream Balm is acknowledged to be the most thorough cm-e for Nasal Catarrh,
Cold in Head, and Hay Fever, of all remedies. It opens and cleanses the nasal
passages, allays pain and inflammation, heals and protects the membrane from
colds, restores the senses of taste and smell. The Balm ia applied directly
into the nostrils, is quickly absorbed, and gives relief at once. The results that
follow catarrh, due to the dropping of poisonous matter into the throat, are
irritation of the bronchial tubes, and soreness of the lungs, accompanied by a
cough. In all such cases we recommend Pineola Balsam to be used in connection
with Cream Balm.

" 'The Science of Life, or Self-Preservation,' is a Medical Treatise of rare merit and great value,
from the pen of a distinguished author tnd 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 character. 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 Sciennce of Life,
<«> ^ «> or SeIf=Preservatioinio"
The author of this treatise, and Chief Consulting Physician of the Peabody Medical
Institute, graduated from the Harvard Medical College in 1864, and was immediately
commissioned siirgeon of the Fifth Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, in which
capacity he served with honor and distinction until the regiment was mustered out
at the close of service. He has been actively and earnestly associated with the
Peabody Medical Institute dm-ing the past twenty-five years, and has long been
recognized as the most famous author and the most successful specialist in America.
In 1876 he was awarded the Gold Medal by the National Medical Association for the
Grand Prize Essay on Manhood, entitled, "The Science of Life, or Self-Preservation."
There are more than 30,000 letters at the Institute bearing gratefid testimony of his
unequalled and triumphant skill, and that, too, in very many cases that had been
given up as past cure and hopeless. The Assistant Physician of the Institute gradu-
ated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons. An intelligent and discriminating
public can readily distinguish and appreciate the difference between a responsible
and time-honored Institute and the distinguished skill that has made it so for a
period of thirty-five years, and the ignorant, irresponsible, vaunting quack.

The castle crowned and terraced Rhine, the beautiful blue Danube, the
Thames with its modern embankments and the Seine with its artistic bridges, all
have their attractive features, but none has a shore line direct from the hand of
the Divine Architect, and to which man can do nothing by way of improvement
like that formed by the Palisades.
