frank face is illuminated by a pair of honest
brown eyes. 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

expressly constituted
for that purpose. Admission to the service

bject t to certain tests."

ance should be made absolutely sampuleory.
" 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

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.

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.

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

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-

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-

kind of animal. A little care and taste
in selecting the peanuts will soon show
what great adaptability there is in them.

bury them in their family tombs..
Sia is the

Siamnd of cremation. It costs
more money to die there than to live,
and the funerals of congressmen, which
are not paid for at extravagant rates by
the govcrntnent, cost but little in com-
parison with that of a Siamese noble.

how to manage.
Select t b e largest
and fattest peanut for a boat; cut off
about one-third, and fasten securely to
the foundation before arranging the oc-
cupants. Another sunshade, a bit of
blue cloth for a pennant, toothploke
for oars and you have a very amusing
toy.
The "little pig who went to market"
is easily arranged, as Is Little Red Rid-
ing Hood, or any other character which
chances to pleaee the little ones. One
or two trials will show the possibilities
of these common materials end wail
prove most entertaining and amusing.
