POWER TAKEN FROM CONSULS.
Result of Law Providing United States
Court in China.
The new law passed at the recent
session of congress creating a United
States court In China greatly dlmln
Ishes the powerB of American consuls i
In that country. Under the new law 1
the consuls will have jurisdiction over
small cases of relatively little signifi-
cance only, and even In these tht
right of appeal to the court whose es-
tablishment is thus contemplated is
guaranteed.
Heretofore the consuls have had full
jurisdiction over American cases aris-
ing In China: that Is, In all cases ol
judicial proceedings.
The court Is to hold sessions at
Canton, Tlenstln and Hankow at stat
ed periods, at least once annually.
The law gives the consul the same
jurisdiction as they have now in civil
rases where the value of property in
volved does not exceed $500 In gold,
and In criminal cases where the pun
lshment for the offense charged can-
not exceed by law $100 fine or 60
days' Imprisonment, or both; but ap-
j peals go to the district court estab-
lished by the act, and may go from
i there to the supreme court of the
{ I'nited States.
The law gives this new court in
I China supervisory control over the
| discbarge by consuls and vice consuls
of the duties prescribed by the laws
of the I'nited States relating to the
estates of decedents In China.
' Pies and the Rate Bill.
When the rate bill in the senate
was being hotly discussed, many of
the senators had their remarks print-
ed in pamphlet form. Mr. Tillman
being one of the senators who did,
Senator Spooner had gotten posses
sion of one of the printed speeches,
and was sitting in the senate cloak
room scanning it when Senator Till-
man entered.
"Hello. Hen."-exclaimed the Wiscon-
sin senator. "I wonder you never told
me that you had your remarks on the
rate bill printed in pamphlet. I hap-
pened to see one this morning, and
it contained some of the best things
I have yet seen in any pamphlet on
the subject."
"I'm proud you think so," said Mr.
Tillman, with a self-satisfied air, "and
what were the things that pleased you
so much?"
"Why," replied Mr. Spooner, "as I
passed by a pastry shop this morn-
ing on my way down I saw a girl
come out with two cherry pies
wrapped up in one of your works."—
American Spectator
American skill and ingenuity have
been conspicuously shown in getting
to the front in the manufacture of au-
tomobiles, which in this country last
year amounted to $211,000,000, and ove-
a tenth of the machines found foreign
purchasers.

jjsf sweden's capital city
From Sweden's capital an enthus-
lasilc visitor writes: "The sky has an
almost Italian radiance, as the sun
shines clear and bright on the glitter-
ing levels of the lagoon that divide
the new town from the old. Across
the water, on which a fleet of white
ferryboats ply, rises the broad front of
the palace, the stern otiillne of which
is relieved by the russet glow which
time has lent to the brickwork. In
front of the palace runs a broad quay
crowded with shipping, behind which
one may catch peeps of narrow, wind-
ing streets, with sloping roofs and
painted houses bent with age. The
square front of the palace rise above
the red and gray roofs, seeming to
command the old city. On my right
the waters narrow to a swift rushing
stream, over which a stately bridge
lias been thrown, uniting ihe palace
with the picturesque pile of the opera
house, or rather with the broad square
in which it stands. Behind the opera
house He broad streets of moderu
houses, In which there are unexpected
glimpses of waterways crowded with
shipping:
"Stockholm ls built on a series or
Islands formed by I.ake Malaren It
Is Indeed the city of a thousand Is-
lands and rocky reefs, which are
sown broadcast many miles beyond
Ihe mainland where the lakes and
river join the sea. The steamers which
ply up and down the lake afford end-
less excursions. Seaward you may
sail a ilay among the Islands until you
reach the long, low reefs on which
the Haltlc beats.
"In spite of their cold climate the
Swedes delight In the open air. After
the indoor life of English or American
cities it is a great pleasure to take
one's meals out of doors, although it
may sometimes be necessary to dine
wrapped in an overcoat. We have
seen people dining in the Tlvoli gar-
dens beneath awnings and umbrellas
in the rain. This habit may explain
the health and vigor of the Swedes."
two house-thaviftg stotues
Every one who ever lived on the
banks of the Kennebec river has heard
of "Jim" Reagan, a shrewd Irishman,
who thirty years ago was making lots
of money buying Prince Edward
Island horses and bringing them to
Maine, where he always found a good
market. He was a great friend and
admirer of James G. Blaine, who took
pleasure in riding with him behind a
good pair of roadsters.
On one occasion "Jim" had out a
l.orse for t'ne inspection of a possible
purchaser. As usual, he had a good
story to tell. Finally the visitor asked
Mr. Reagan his price.
"Five hundred dollars," was his
prompt reply.
"I will give you a hundred and a
quarter." was the response.
"Jim" looked him over for just a mo-
ment, and, seeing that he was all done,
cocked his hat In a manner peculiar
to himself and replied. In his charac-
teristic manner: "My friend, that is
a h—1 of a drop, but he Is your horse."
Oil another occasion "Jim" bought a
fine horse from one of the nearby
towns and agreed to give $300 for him.
The horse was brought to the stable
yard, and "Jim" counted out $300 in
bills to the seller, and, taking the hal-
ter. asked if that was all right. The
seller demurred that there should be
50 cents more for the halter.
"You ask 50 cents for that halter?"
asked "Jim."
"Yes." came the reply.
"Well, let's see how njuch you gel,"
and, taking the bills back as if to re-
count tliem, he passed the man 50-
cents for the halter, which he slipped
from the head of the fiery horse, and
remarked that he guessed he would
only take the halter and dW not care
for the horse.
