Every lineament bespeaks kindheartedness and geniality. Mi. Bellamy did not talk like a blind be- liever in a visionary creed, but rather as the calm apostle of a reasonable theory. To a reporter he said: ' The coming party will be satisfied with nothing but a fraternal basis of industry and an equality of rights and advantages. This Is not a class movement. It appeals to all business men, and no one is so much inter- ested as the squall tradesmen themselves. We are not at all rabid. We are simply obeying a natural law of economics. We do hot want to hang monopolists and capital- ists, but we simply desire to put an end to the system which permits them to exist." "Do you think such a millennium as you have outlined will ever come, Mr. Bellamy?" asked the reporter. CONFIDENT OF HIS THEORIES. "I do, and shortly," was the reply. "Cluhs are forming everywhere, and already there are two or three hundred in the field." "How will you bring about the great change?" " By election and legislation," was the reply. " Out in California they promised to send an entire delegation of Nationalists to Congress, and matters are working inla similar ratio in other States. There is no chance but for a strong public movement and we believe it is coming. We do not blame any one class for the ezisting state of things, neither do we represent any. The plutocratic tendency- is in itself a revolution, and this constant drainage of business out of the hands of the small dealers isthreaten- ing to the public." When questioned as to the specific objects of the movement, Mr. Bellamy said : "c First, we want the naturalization of all railways, We propose that the Government shall take charge of the properties and shall pay over to the present security holders such dividends on a just valuation of the property as may be earned." PIXOTA I SUES. " Second. the nationalization of telegraph and telephone systems in same or some other, practicable manner. The English Government purchased the telegraph system outright. (ongresscould easily decide the matter. " Third, nationalization of the coal mining business of the country to the end that all mines may be worked continuously to their full capacity, the coal to be furnished to the consumers at cost and the miners steadily and humanely employed. No class of omen is so damnably dealt with as coal miners, and there is no class of employers who treat the public so rapaciously as the coal barons. " Then we propose that the postofce department of the Government shall con- trol the express business of the country on the same principles. The cities and towns of the country should take charge, as muni- cipal functions, of the heating, lighting and running of street cars and all methods of rapid transit. 'These. conditions, if carried out, world affect the condition of 2,000,000 workingmen throughout the country. No• body wants harsh measures, but the general public interests demands a great change. ULTIMATE NATIONALIZATION. "Our object in urging these changes is threefold. First, they are in the line with, and are step -stones to, ultimate nationali- zation. Second, they will benefit the gen- eral consnuling public by a greater cheap• ucss and efficiency in these branches of service. Third, they afford the means by which the condition of a vast body of work- inen can be placed on a humane and secure basis. The first o[ these objects is logical, and the two latter are merely principles of application." \VItat step9 would you take to prevent political jobbery and corruption ? " queried the reporter. ' We propose the following plan," was' the reply, " as the basis of organization, for the double end of preventive political abuse and securing humane condruons : On the nationalization of any industry 1i,e existing force e l ee a en in thr g g industry would he taken into the municipal and National em- ployment, if they were requ' :ed. All em- ployees would be guarante a permanent tenure of employment ex pt in cases of fault or incompetence, which would be de- termined o by a tribunal ex expressly constituted for that purpose. Admission to the service world be to the lowest grade, this admission be determined by priority of application, bject t to certain tests." "Do you mean to.Rny that this would do .ay with patronage?" was asked. " Let nt e suppose," \ r. Bellamy lun y to )lie 1 that the mayor of New Sark would ap- int the head of the Gas Department. He ould have no patronage whatever, and no wer of appointment or remits al. 1{e ould merely have power of suspension from t (luring tg t he offender's trial by the courts. sero would be a provision for the impeaeh- ent of any officer who used his office for l i tical purposes." ORP. " " What about our present edits:M innal sys- m?" asked the reporter. TAE PRF.SE`1T ECll..v, " The present system of edneation is fail - g to reach the children of the poor," was e response.

" The plutocratic tendency dates back thirty years," continued Mr, Bellamy. " It has increased so rapidly that it is etaarh to scare any thinking man. 11 it continues to increase as it has tit the past^ the wessi, the country will be wholly iu the lieu.), of a small fraction of the people, and the tat of us will have to five on wages. if nothing is done within ten or fifteen years to check this tendency we are lost.

Meanwhile we shall hart. cb ..e a great deal for the laborers of the country, m going as far es we have gone. Let it be understood that we aro in no way in sym- pathy with any Anarchical movement. The American flag is good enough for us." " Do you believe that this ideal state of affairs would benefit South and North alike ?" was asked. " It will not only be beneficial to the whites of the South as well as the North," replied Mr.. Bellamy, " but it will ulford an ideal method for the discipline, culture and elevation of the recently enfranchised col- ored ratan." In conclusion Mr. Bellamy said that 'he was deluged with invitations to speak. but has invariably declined, as he did out cure to be looked upon as a hippodroii er. "1 feel that I can do better work for the cause by simple conversation with my fel- low -men," he said. Is he a dreamer or a prophet ?-New York World. Taken In by a Horseman. If I live to be a thousand years old I shall never forget how a stranger took five of us in one day at Syracuse in a manner so slick that he walked off with our cash be- fore we had a suspicion. It was a rainy, dismal afternoon, and a dozen men -agents, drummers, drovers snit others -were sitting about the office. Some one read a news- paper clipping about a bigamist who had seven wives, and pretty soon each one had an opinion to advance. Finally a well- dressed, good-looking man ventured the ob- servation : " I myself could have married a dozen women on an hour's notice. It's all in the first impression created." Some agreed and some differed, and the discussion began to assume a more vigorous tone. By and by the same man again ob. serxed ' You may think me conceited, gentle- men, but I'm only telling you what 1 know I can do. I've always had extraordinary luck with women. 1'l1 venture to say that I can go down to the depot, pick out the best -looking woman in the waiting -room, and, if she is not already married, that I can take her to the parson's inside of an hour." There was a grand laugh at this, but he looked very serious as he continued : "Perhaps this crowd has some cash to lose on that? If so, let's talk business." After a bit we came to an understanding. Five of us were to chip in $100 each against $500 of his money. We were to go to the New York .Central depot, select a female and if she proved to be unmarried, he was to persuade her into a marriage inside of one hour, or forfeit his money. We cool'( have raised a thousand dollars as 'well as half that sump but he could not cover it. Nine of us went down to the depot. Among the waiting passengers were seven- teen females, but on looking them over our choice was limited to three. We fiLliIy selected a woman we believed to be a widow. She was fairly handsome, well- dreesed, and had two or three parcels on the seat beside her. We got seats near by, and then our masher approached. I-fe asked what train she was going out on, spoke about the weather, and to bur surprise was not rebuffed. Within tenminutes he had scarcely answered in the affirmative when he began to plead his case. It was only tiorty minutes by the watch when he came came over to us and said: " Gentlemen, I'd like two or three of you to accompany that p y h t lady and myself to the parson's as witnesses to our marriage." We went, and they were duly married and the stakes passed over. The lady acted as coy and shy and embarrassed as you please, and confessed it was n case of lose at first sight. They took a train two hours later, and when they were fairly off we learned 1 that he was a horseman from Chicago, and that the woman had been his lawful wife for the past fifteen years.-N.Y. Sun. Are Tliey EIIRIble Y Speculation on the Queen's Plate, which will he run for at the May meeting of the Ontario Jockey Club in Toronto next year, has begun by a Torontonian offering to wager $100 to $400 that he can name the winner. '1'his is certainly looking a long way ahead, and the matt in question wast imagine that he has a.good thing bottled up. These air -tight cinches do not always Coote off as expected, and the speculator, on the face of his offer,isgivingsonleonequitecurex- cellent chance to win his money. Of course, since the offer to wager these odds was made, there has been considerable guessing among the horsemen as to what part icuIll r horse the speculator had in his H'ind's eye.

Both were shipped to Ecutuc hy, where they were allowed to eat the succulent blue brass and grow.

THE WONDER OF THE AAE! l4, e _ -•mac A JAPANESE FUNERAL. This Japanese crematory was on the edge of %iota. In going to It I drove through the streets of shops filled with the beautiful blue china for which that city is so noted, and out through fields of rice and tea to a large brick building, on the side of a hill. As I went I passed manyafunel•al processions, consisting of stalwart Japs in blue gowns and bowl hats, four of whom carried a box swung on a pole which rested upon their shoulders. This box was much like a Cjlild'e play -house, and it lfad its roof s its curtained windows. I was told that h Was a coffin, and that each party carried et corpse. These coffins were about 4 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 4 feet high. They were made of thin white pine , unpainted or unvarnished, and each coffin is burned or thrown away at the same time of the burning of the. body. The crematory itself looked mach like an American engine -room; the fur- naces urnaces might have been made In America, and they were built so thatethey opened Into an aisle running around a large room. Wood was piled at their doors and a furious draught sucked the air into their mouths, and the great flames roared as they ate up the human fuel which was piled in the vaults above them. There was but little smell as I entered tI.e building, but I could hear the crackling and frying of the flesh, and the whole of the burning could be plainly seen. A hollow-eyed, bald- headed ghoul presided over them, and he stirred up the tree as he chatted with me in regard to his business. "We have," said be, "first, second, and third class cremations, and we graduate our rates according to the age of the body. A man or woman can be burnt here in first-class style for 82.40. We will give either a good second-class burning for $1.25, and we can send a mat off in very respectable style for $1. Children under 3 years are burnt nccording to the class for $1.73 cents, or 60 cents, and boys and girls from 8 to 12 years of age are burnt from 81.50 to 75 cents apiece. Wo burn the bodies as soon as they come in and we average at least ten cremations fou krit tempt to seize a part of they prey. Be- side the bloody corpses are a mass of half -dried skulls and the odd legs and arras of the day defore, and the old wo- man laughs through her toothless gum. as she points you to them. Some of the Buddhists believe that their chance of nirvana, or heaven, 1s better in ease they give their bodice. to the vultures, and some of these bodies have been dedicat- ed in this way. Others are, as I have said, those of very poor people, who can not afford the cost of cremation.

A bag of peanuts, some wooden tooth- picks, a box of pias, and a sharp knife, two or three tiny Chinese parasols, and pen and ink for marking the faces are all the materials necessary. These, with a little ingenuity, will make a great var- iety of peanut people, and almost every kind of animal. A little care and taste in selecting the peanuts will soon show what great adaptability there is in them. A thick, fat nut, with very little curve near one end, will. with tho aid of tooth- picks for the lege and pine for the arms, make the "froggy who would a -wooing ko."
