NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week General Joseph Wheeler is dead. The revolt of Letts in Russia is hard to suppress. The Chinese empress dowager is busy selecting an heir to the throne. Japan has adopted a plan which will enable her to pay the war debt in a comparatively short time. Forty more Chinese commissioners are coming to the United States to study American life and customs. Congress will be asked to pass a law giving the secretary of the navy power to dismiss midshipmen he finds guilty of hazing. President and Mrs. Roosevelt have sent out the invitations to the wedding of Miss Alice Roosevelt, which is to take place at noon February 17. A resolution has been introduced in the senate authorizing the payment of the funeral expenses, amounting to $547, of the late senator Mitchell. An earthquake has been felt in New Mexico and Arizona. Not a great deal of damage was done, although buildings rocked and chimneys tumbled. Castro says M. Taigny, the French charge d'affaires, violated diplomatic etiquette. He also claims Taigny was not representative of France when expelled. France is not quite ready to whip Castro. The United Mineworkers of America has voted for an increase in wages. The government has opened its case in the trial of the packing trust at Chicago. Serious anti-Jewish rioting occurred in Bessarabia during the celebration of Red Sunday. A shipment of 1,000,000 salmon eggs to New Zealand has been made from Tehama, California. The Chinese commissioners in the United States to learn our ways are making many friends. The prosecuting attorney of Missouri is actively engaged in taking testimony against the Standard Oil company. Burton has renewed his pledge to do all in his power to secure an appropriation for the mouth of the Columbia. Physicains in attendance upon General Joseph Wheeler say his attack of pneumonia is slight and they expect to have him out soon. A competitive examination will be held at Whitman college, Walla Walla,, February 10, for aspirants for appointment as midshipmen. A bomb was thrown into a crowd of police at Olesa, Russia, injuring two officers. Two bomb factories have been discovered and many arrests followed. Fresh trouble has appeared in the Balkan states. Rockefeller has given $1,450,000 to Chicago university. Taft denies that the Philippine commissioners speculate in land, as has been charged. The government has abandoned the Harney irrigation project and will let the private company go ahead with the work.

The Brazilian warship Aquidaban blew up, killing all the officers and crew excepting 50. The dead will number 300. The members of the Montana Press association will leave Butte February 10 on an excursion to Los Angeles and Southern California points. The mild weather throughout the East has been followed by a blizzard. In some sections a drop of 30 dgeees in 12 hours has been recorded. French and German delegates at the Moroccan conference have openly disagreed. The debate may be the beginning of fresh controversies between the two countries. Six men have been killed by snow-slides in Utah. The Moroccan conference has so far dodged the dangerous points. Beet sugar men have planned a fight on the Philippine bill in the senate. Few invitations will be issued to the Longworth-Roosevelt wedding. King Edward is ill. Steamers Patrol Scene of Disaster to Valencia. Victoria, B. C., Jan. 25. — The wrecked steamer Valencia now lies submerged and broken, but a portion of a mast stands above water and the fleet of steamers and tugs have today been turning their attention to patrolling the vicinity with the hope of finding boats, rafts or wreckage still afloat with survivors, though the chances are small. Ashore, several parties have been toiling over most arduous trails, some carrying succor to those who were washed ashore, others scouring the rugged rocks of the shore line seeking for any survivors that may have reached shore and be lying hungry and helpless, and others are engaged in the melancholy duty of recovering bodies Of the total company of 154, but 33 have been definitely accounted for, and three men, believed to be other survivors, were seen on shore from the whaling vessel Orion, near the wreck, huddled about a fire. Six survivors have been taken up on the Salvor; nine, most of them so badly cut up and bruised, without food, and so overcome that they could not stand, much less walk, are still camped at Darling Creek, a telegraph hut, and 18 others were picked up by the City of Topeka. With the three seen from the Orion, a mile and a half from the wreck, added, the survivors total 36, leaving a death list of 119 persons. A woman or child is among the saved. Scaut hope is entertained by those on board the patrolling steamers that any others will be recovered, for the doctors on rescuing tugs say the limit of human endurance will have been passed before that time. WRECKAGE COMING ASHORE. Under low Snatches Nude Body From Party of Searchers. Victoria, B. C., Jan. 25 — A dispatch from Cape Beale says that Lightkeeper Paterson has returned from the wreck over the trail and reports that the steamer Valencia is no more. Pieces of the steamer and her cargo were scattered along the beach when he left. The first thing seen by the party from Cape Beale was a trunk, evidently that of a探险者 named Frank Novak, and papers and clothing were found with that name. A nude body was seen in the surf, but before it could be reached the undertow took it out and it sank in deep water. Two bodies were recovered from the wreck, but neither could be identified. The beaches near where the ship went ashore are covered with broken cases of canned fruit, butter, lemons, oranges and pineapples. Arouses Antagonism That May Kill Pure Food Bill. Washington, Jan. 26.—The pure food bill, that had a fair prospect of passing the senate a week or ten days ago, may find rough sledding before it gets through. Senator Heyburn, who has the bill in charge, made an able presentation of his case when first he called it up for consideration; he met all objections and did it in a friendly way. But several times since, when the senator has brought the bill before the senate, he has made unfortunate replies to criticisms, and has aroused antagonism. The senate cannot be driven; no senator can compel the senate to act in accordance with his wishes. It is a case where more votes are caught by sugar than by vinegar. This fact has apparently escaped the attention of Mr. Heyburn. Indeed, the junior Idaho senator, in talking with his colleagues, has stated boastfully that he does not propose to bend to the managers of the Republican party in the senate; he will not obliterate his individuality, but will assert himself, and by sheer force put his pure food bill through. This is an unfortunate attitude, for once the senate becomes satisfied that Mr. Heyburn proposes to ride over it rough-shod, and drive his colleagues into line, just that soon the senate will demonstrate that the power of a single senator in legislation is very small, particularly if he be a comparatively new senator. Unless Mr. Heyburn changes his attitude and "stands in" with the leaders he will not get his bill through. New York, Jan. 26. — John A. McCall, ex-president of the New York Life Insurance company, has parted with what he had often spoken of as his most prized possession, the summer palace he erected and furnished at Long Branch at an expense of $500,000. The purchase price was about $350,000. Of this amount Mr. McCall receives only about $100,000, as the property is mortgaged for $250,000. The principal encumbrance is a mortgage for $150,000, given to the New York Life Insurance company. Washington, Jan. 26. — The senate committee on foreign relations today voted to report the treaty with Cuba ceding the Isle of Pines to that republic. The treaty was not amended.

IN THE NATIONAL HALLS OF CONGRESS Thursday, January 25 Washington, Jan. 25. — The house passed the statehood bill according to schedule today. The Republican opposition spent its entire force yesterday and no effort was made to defeat the bill on its final passage, only 33 of the "insurgents" voting against it. The bill passed by the vote of 194 to 150. The debate which preceded this vote began at 11 o'clock and was practically featureless so far as any hope was entertained of changing the measure in the slightest degree. The bill as passed provides that Oklahoma and the Indian Territory shall constitute one state under the name of Oklahoma, and that Arizona and New Mexico shall constitute a state under the name Arizona. Should the terms of admission be ratified by the residents of the two former territorites, their respective state constitutions must contain clauses prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors and plural marriages. The constitution of Arizona must prohibit the sale of liquor to Indians forever and that of Oklahoma for 21 years. There are many other stipulations concerning schools, courts and political subdivisions of the proposed new states. Washington, Jan. 25. — The foreign affairs of the United States continued to hold the attention of the senate today, the Moroccan and Dominican matters being immediately at issue. Money was the principal speaker and he talked for over two hours in opposition to the course of the administration with reference to both Santo Domingo and Morocco. He contended that there was danger of becoming involved unnecessarily in the affairs of other countries by participation in the Algeciras conference and that this country was not sufficiently concerned with the conduct of affairs in Santo Domingo to justify our course in that island. He also took the position that the president had transcended his authority there. Heyburn spoke in support of the annexation of Santo Domingo. Wednesday. Jaunary 24. Washington, Jan. 24. — When the smoke of the liveliest legislative battle of the session had cleared up in the house today, Speaker Cannon and his organization were in complete control and the joint statehood program of the administration had been adopted. Previous to the vote the debate on the rule had proceeded under high tension. The speeches were short but the word uttered were hot and full of sing. The rule adopted provides that the bill granting statehood to Oklahoma and the Indian Territory as "Oklahoma," and Arizona and New Mexico as "Arizona," should be debated until 3 o'clock tomorrow and then voted on without opportunity for debate. The house adjourned at 5:30 o'clock, after agreeing to meet at 11 o'clock tomorrow. Washington, Jan. 24. — Mr. Lodge today presented in the senate the policy of the administration in the matter of the Algeciras conference over the Morocco and also with reference to Santo Domingo. He defended the course of the president in both instances, contending that our representation at the Moroccan conference was essential to the protection of American commercial interests and that only by the course pursued in Santo Domingo could foreign nations be prevented from seizing the custom houses of that country and securing a position there which might threaten the approaches to the Panama canal. Tuesday. January 23. Washington, Jan 23.—For more than three hours today Spooner occupied the time of the senate in explanation and defense of the course of the administration relative to the Moroccan conference at Algeciras, Spain, and in connection with Santo Domingo. The speech was delivered to crowded galleries and to a well filled senate, and received careful attention throughout. It was in the main a response to the speeches of Bacon and Fillman, and its purpose was to justify the president's acts in both the matters under discussion. Washington, Jan. 23. — The eight-hour law cannot be abrogated for work on the Panama canal and canal commissioners cannot receive additional compensation beside their salaries as commissioners. These two changes in the urgent deficiency appropriation bill Hague Delegates Chosen. Washington, Jan. 22. — Secretary Root today announced that the American representatives to the approaching conference to be held at The Hague will be Joseph H. Chate, formerly ambassador to England; Horace Porter, former ambassador to France, and Judge Rose, of Little Rock, Ark., ex-president of the American Bar association. Besides these delegates there may be others, the number being conditional upon the Russian representation, and there will also be a number of secretaries, stenographers and interpreters. NO. 40. now under consideration by the house was the net result of today's session. Innumrable amendments seeking to perfect the bill as to canal ground purchases, purchases of coal for the navy, etc., consumed time in discussion, but met defeat when a vote was taken. When the session ended, about half of the bill had been considered. It will be laid aside tomorrow, when the statehood bill is to be brought in and to have the right of way until disposed of. Monday. January 22 Washington, Jan. 22.—The question of regulating railroad rates took practically all of the time of the senate today, notwithstanding that no bill with that end in view has been reported from the interstate commerce committee. The discussion of the subject was in connection with Clary's speech, Aldrich, Foraker, Bailey and Newlands being the principal participants in addition to Clay himself. Clay advocated the passage of a bill which would give the Interstate Commerce commission power to regulate rates, when complained of, and said that, if there was no legislation along that line, the country might count upon agitation of the question of government ownership. In that connection, he referred to the large vote given Mr. Hearst in the late New York municipal election as an indication of the popularity of municipal ownership of public utilities. Washington, Jan. 22.—With a point of order pending, the eight-hour clause of the Panama canal item in the urgent deficiency bill was buffeted about in debate during the greater part of today's session of the house. The debate was general and the point of order which will be made by Hogg of Colorado, or by Williams, the minority leader, can only be made when the section is considered for amendment. While the eight-hour provision of the Panama part of the bill is what is objected to most strenuously, speeches were made for and against the administration's canal policy. Williams, the minority leader, declared the work of digging ought to be done by contract. De Armond, of Missouri, immediately contended that this could not be done successfully, and Burton, of Ohio, urged that congress should scrutinize appropriations. Hepburn, of Iowa, urged the necessity of centralization in responsibility, and wanted the president held responsible for the work. Saturday. January 26. Washington, Jan. 20. — The cry of graft raised in the house of representatives this afternoon caused the defeat of an amendment to an urgent deficiency bill appropriating $10,000 to supply an express deficiency in the fund used for the payment of transportation charges on silver from the subtreasury to trade centers. The amendment was proposed by General Kiefer, Rep., and was opposed by Representatives Tawney, Minn., Smith, Ia., and Hill, Conn. Representative Hill raised the point of order against it. He lost. Hill charged that the appropriation was a species of graft for the express company. Smith joined in the declaration that it was no longer necessary for the Federal government to continue the appropriation, and that if the transportation of silver was not made so profitable the coin would remain in circulation longer. Washington, Jan. 20. — Murmurings are heard in the senate of a possible revolt by the beet sugar men against the Philippine tariff bill, taken up today by the committee of Philippines for consideration. The opposition of the beet sugar industry to the Cuban reciprocity treaty developed a strength among the Republics of seven votes. This was enough to defeat the ratification, a two-thirds vote being necessary. The same strength could not defeat the Philippine bill, which only requires a majority. Friday, January 19. Washington, Jan. 19. — Reform in the matter of making deficiency appropriations agitated the house today, and the entire time was devoted to its discussion, with the exception of a sort speech for free hides by Perkins, of New York. The urgency deficiency bill was being considered under general debate order, and Littauer, of New York, in charge of the bill, set the pace by pointing out the failure of the legislation of last year to curb the heads of departments in their demands for deficiency supplies. Wants Philippine Secretary. Manila, Jan. 23. — T. H. Pardo de Tavera has resigned his position as a member of the United States Philippine commission, assigning as a reason his belief that the Filipinos should have a portfolio. His resignation has offered an opportunity for one of his colleagues to express a desire that in the future there be a Filipino delegate in congress. Commissioner Ide is receiving thousands of congratulations on his appointment as governor, which is universally approved, though many regret the transfer of ex-Governor Wright.

The sons of great men seem to be handicapped or overshadowed — or crushed by the greatness of their fath- ers. There fs apparently no account- ing for the fact. It exists and seem- ingly It is without reason. Perhaps, however, if closer scrutiny 1s appiled in some cases It will be found that the sons of great fathers are not great themselves because their fathers, great in many things, are not great enough to know how to ralse children, In a word, they spoil them. ‘The very things that made themselves great are Genied the children. A man who be- gins in poverty and obscurity and rises to heights of distinction, influ- ence and wealth usually informs the public or his friends that the things is suffered in his youth will be spared is son. So the youth grows up In the lap of luxury. He may have brains, but they are not used—there is no ne- cessity for using or developing them. Whe father does the son's thinking. He plans for him; he supplies him with fmoney, with all the comforts concetv- gdle and with all the luxuries imagin- able. The youth does nothing and sub- sequently and consequently he amounts 40 nothing. \bold calculator long ago announced that the average man speaks about twelve thousand words In a day, aud his wife or Sister about elghteen thou- sand. By what method of observation he arrived at the figures is still a mys- tery. Did he keep the sexes under ‘view as the biologist keeps his guinea- pigs or as Professor Atwater his vic- tims? Or was his sum total based on a stenographie report of the conversa- tion at @ man's club on election night, or at a woman's luncheon the day af- ter a fashionable wedding? ~If the es: timate s correct, the man who lives ‘out bis 70 years will utter about three pee million words in his lifetime, and the woman about four hundred and fifty million, Imagination gasps ‘at the number of repetitions of favor- ite adjectives, like “lovely” or “awful” or “stunning,” In so vast an outpour- ing of words. Surely the reflection might stimulate the increase of one’s vocabulary. But before we settle down to acceptance of this calcuiation, it 4s necessary to take into considera- tion the opinion of a clever English- woman, who has been recently writing on the subject. She sets forth her con- viction that the feminine sex 1s un- Justly called the talkative sex, and that taking: the year together, men talk more than women, It ts not !m- possible that the woman's reputation for talkativeness 1s partly based on her ability and inclination to make much talk of little stuff. “Although the man may speak more, he may seem to talk less, since he has more of Im- portance to say. Still, “small talk” will continue to be a useful domestic asset. Silence Is by no. means a sure mark of wisdom. If there are those who think too little and who talk too much, there are quite as surely those who nelther think nor talk—and dull compantons they are in this workaday world. The court martial found Midship- man Meriwether not guilty of man- slaughter but guilty of “conduct to the prejudice of good order and millt tary discipline.” ‘The penalty Imposed 4s a public reprimand by the Secre- tary of the Nuvy and confinement to the mits of the naval academy for a year. The last penalty will be modi- fied so that the midshipman will not be debarred from participating In the next annual practice crulse. This 1s not @ harsh sentence for a court mar- tlal. ‘The fight between Meriwether and Branch was In plain violation of rules it was thelr duty to obey. Diso- bedience of that kind, when It has serious consequences and becomes public, must be punished. But a harsh. er sentence than the one Imposed—dis- missal from the service, or suspension for a year—would have been unjust. Public opinion, to the extent that It ‘expressed the views of those familiar with the facts In the case, would have condemned it. Manifestly the charge of manslaughter could not be sustain- ed after the evidence was presented. Meriwether was willing to end the fight before its fatal conclusion, and It was Brauch who Insisted on going on with It, The clot of blood on the brain which caused Brain's death was not occasioned by a blow from Meriweth- er's fist, but by Branch striking his head on the floor. It ts deplorable that the fight had a fatal issue, but the 1s- sue was no more anticipated by any of those engaged In it than It would have been if the partictpants had been boys In a grammar school, who often ‘settle thelr difficulties with thelr fists. Branch challenged Meriwether to fight. If he had refused to accept the challenge he would have obeyed the ‘rules and have ruined his future. He ‘would have been sent to Coventry by ‘his classmates. If able to graduate the name of “coward” would have clung to him and other offleers would not have associated with him. The “code of honor” which obtains at An- napolls and West Point is against reg- ‘wations and is In defiance of the prin- ‘elples of the peace society, but so long ‘as It exists the young men who go to those schools will observe it. Few ‘men who understand what It means to fly n the face of the code will blame the mldshipmen or cadets who settle ‘a controversy with thelr fists when po Iitely Invited to do so. Time Limited. Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll once called upon Bishop Phillips Brooks and was told by the mald at the door that the bishop was very much occu: pied and wished to be denied to all callers. Nevertheless Colonel Ingersoll begged her to present his card, and ina few moments Bishop Brooks made his appearance, smilingly extending his hand. Before leaving, Colonel Ingersoll asked the bishop how it happened that he consented to see him, when refus: Ing to see others. Bishop Brooks smiled and said: “Well, you see, Colonel, I expect to spend an eternity with all my other frtends.” Sponges His Way In.

The small lake of Sewallik, in Alaska, has regular tides, probably due to underground connection with the sea, and the water of the bottom is salt while that of the surface is fresh. The effect of ultra-violet rays of light on some kinds of glass is strikingly shown at high altitudes. At a mountain station of the Canadian Pacific Railway—five thousand or six thousand feet high—green glass telephone insulators have changed to brilliant purple. Unlike some round fishes, the flat species keep to the bottom of the sea and move along it, traveling great distances. Records have been obtained showing that plaque have traveled eighty-eight miles in twenty-eight days, or an average of not less than three miles a day. An Austrian chemist, Doctor Zirn, has invented a process whereby casein, the essential element of cheese and butter, may be solidified and shaped into the various articles that are now made of cellulol. It is said that this new product possesses many advantages over cellulol. It is not inflammable, so that the danger from fire sometimes encountered in the use of articles made of cellulol is entirely avoided. The new industry is now being developed at Surgeres, France, one of the great centers for the manufacture of butter and cheese. Recent information indicates that Cherrapunjil, in Assam, and Debunja, in the Kamerun, hold the record for heavy rainfall. During the period from 1895 to 1903 inclusive, the average yearly rainfall at Cherrapunjil was no less than 36 feet $9\frac{1}{2}$ inches. For the same period at Debunja the average yearly fall was 34 feet $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches. The rainiest year ever recorded at Cherrapunjil was 1851, when $48\frac{1}{2}$ feet of rain fell during the twelve months. On June 16, 1902, at Debunja, almost 18 inches of rain fell during that single day. These immense falls of rain are attributed to the influence of tropical oceans approaching close to lofty mountains. Scientists are again on the trail of the "missing link." Two years ago certain marks were found on a block of sandstone near Warrnambool, in Australia, which were thought to be the imprints of the footsteps of a prehistoric man. At the time this idea was ridiculed; but a plaster cast was sent to Germany, and the inevitable German savant went out to investigate the matter. He now reports that, in his opinion, they were genuine human imprints, and this, taken in conjunction with the extraordinary human skulls to be seen in the Warrnambool museum, is supposed to show that a link between humanity and the ape has been discovered. The idea of the German doctor is that at an early period the sandstone where the imprints were found had been a great level beach on which, perhaps, prehistoric men were accustomed to camp. SUN BATH IS GOOD. It Is a Potent Factor in the Cure of Any Disease if Well Tried. There is no disinfectant made by man that can compare with the sun's rays in effectiveness. A sun bath is a most potent factor in the cure of any disease. After one's skin becomes accustomed to the direct rays of the sun one may lie in the sunshine for hours at a time with great benefit, but at first the exposure should be only a few minutes' duration at one time. These short periods, however, may be repeated several times a day. The best results are obtained by exposing the bare skin of the whole body (except the head) to the direct rays of the sun. Consequently a cot placed in the bow window of an upper chamber is an ideal place for a sun bath, provided that the air in the chamber is absolutely fresh and pure. To sit on the porch in the sun is very beneficial, even if one must be so warmly wrapped up as to make it difficult for the sun's rays to penetrate to the skin. To lie on the grass in the sun is better still—on the grass with only a blanket between the invalid and the healing powers of mother earth. The patient's head should not be exposed to the sun in any case, and a sun bath should be followed by a cool sponge bath when possible.—Maxwell's Talisman. New to Her.

EDITORIAL The initiative is all right for use as to some one specified proposition,when no other one on the same subject is presented to be voted on at the same time, but for the purpose of bringing to a vote a voluminous and complicated assessment and taxation law, to say nothing of voting on two or more such laws, conflicting in many particulars, would, if the proposed laws carry, lead only to endless litigation trouble and loss, and to "confusion worse confounded" generally. A committee of the Willamette Valley Development league has drafted an elaborate assessment bill, which is to be voted on next June, and not one voter in 100 will know whether, as a whole, it is an improvement on the present taxation code or not. Competent men who have studied it say, however, that while it has good points, it has very serious defects, being in some parts unconstitutional, in others contradictory, and in others impracticable, so that it is best to vote against it. The grangers have also prepared a tax law, and if both should be adopted the two would conflict, and even a Philadelphia lawyer could not tell what the law was. So the only safe way is to vote against that too, lest the state find itself in such a mess that it will be difficult and very expensive to extricate itself. The only proper way to amend the taxation laws, either by the legislature or by the vote of the people, is to do one or two particular, precise things at a time, and not attempt anything else in any one law. There could and should be, for example, a law taxing franchises, but this should stand by itself and not be submitted or considered in connection with any other proposed changes in or additions to the present laws. So with the taxation of railroads; this question should stand alone. Unless those who get up bills to be voted on at the general election will confine themselves to single and, as far as possible, simple propositions, that the people can understand and vote on by themselves, they should, and we think will, vote down all these proposed laws. BAD PLEDGE TO SIGN. We hear of a few men here and there who have the courage, for doubtless it takes some degree of moral courage, who contemplate being candidates for the legislature, to refuse to sign the "Pledge No. 1" set out in the primary nomination law, and we think they are as fully entitled to support, at least, as those who sign the pledge. We have no objection to candidates signing it, if they really believe it is a good and the right thing to do, but we believe there are few such candidates, but that most of them who sign will do in consequence of popular clamor or on account of pressure, and not in accordance with their best judgment or real, honest sentiments. To elect a United States senator is a constitutional prerogative and duty of the legislature, which they may well forego if any one candidate has a clear majority of the popular vote of the dominant party. To this extent it would be well to obey the expressed people's will, and candidates might well pledge themselves to do this; but for a legislative candidate to pledge himself to vote for anyone receiving a bare plurality of this party's votes, when equally goor or better men ran about even with him, ought not to be required or expected. Besides, as was pointed out last week, Republican candidates who sign this pledge may very likely find themselves pledged to vote for Senator Gearin, for he may have more votes than any Republican candidate. If they care nothing about a senator's politics, this would be all right, for Mr. Gearin is a good man and will make an able senator, but it will be something new for Republican members of the legislature to stand pledged to vote for a Democrat for United States senator. LET IN THE HILL ROAD A loud, clear, strong protest ought to go up from the people of Portland against the prolonged and persistent efforts, especially when based on purely technical grounds, of the O. R. & N. to keep the Portland & Seattle railroad, otherwise the Great Northern and Northern Pacific line building down the north bank of the Columbia river, out of this city, or at least to delay and harrass its progress as much as possible. Of course the people cannot dictate to or interfere with the courts, but they have a right to express their sentiments on this question freely and plainly, and it would be well to do so. The daily papers have spoken mildly in behalf of the people's interests in this important matter, and might well become still more vigorous and insistent in demanding a prompt as well as a right solution of the matter. The people want and need the Hill road here; they want it as soon as possible; they want no obstacles put in its way; and they should make it clear that it will not be advantageous to those who are trying to prevent or delay this road from crossing the peninsula and river and securing needed terminal grounds in Portland. Mr. Hill asked for no bonus or right of way, or any special favors or privileges; the advent of his road here will be of immense value to Portland, and the people of this city should make it clear that they welcome and appreciate the coming of this road and help to make it easy. All these technical objections and obstructions, with due deference to the courts, should be brushed aside as soon as possible, and the way for the Hill road made clear. MAYOR AND COUNCIL It is unfortunate that the mayor and council are at loggerheads, as they have been ever since they went into office. On either side, at least in some cases, it appears that the public interests are subordinated to petty spitework, of which the people are becoming tired. In the matter of franchises for proposed new light and power companies the mayor's executive board fixed the terms so high that it looked like a design to protect and perpetuate the present monopolies, while on the other hand the council reduced the franchise tax to what many consider a ridiculously low rate, one not at all in consonance or accord with the prospects of this city, which is destined to grow very rapidly, rendering such franchises exceedingly valuable. If they cannot agree, the executive board and council ought to call in impartial experts and be guided by their decision or advice, not thus be butting against each other merely to express and exhibit their mutual grudges. It would be a boon to the people of this city to have another gas plant and company established here, and it should be encouraged and granted a franchise on reasonable, liberal terms, and in the meantime the present malodorous monopoly should be subject to a suitable franchise tax; but all this should be done solely with the interests of the people in view; not as seems to be the case, out of personal and political spite and malevolence. The mayor has made some bad breaks, but that does not excuse the council for opposing him and trying to "put him in a hole" on every possible occasion. MR. SCOTT AT WASHINGTON. If congress should make desired appropriations for the jetty at the mouth of the Columbia, credit for that action would be due in large measure no doubt to the efforts and influence of Mr. H. W. Scott, editor of the Oregonian, who has been in Washington several weeks working for this object. The work of Mr. J. N. Teal, Mr. C. H. Carey and others has been valuable, but that of Mr. Scott is peculiarly so, for he is regarded in Washington, not teaches them how to raise most only by the president, but by leading better crops, to have better members of congress, as one of the and to prosper, he benefits all great editors of the country and as classes of people, particular Oregon's greatest man, and is listened merchants, for all are more or so accordingly, and what he says is rectly dependent on the farmer sure to have much weight with the when they do well, all do well powers that be. Withycombe is not only a This is the case all the more because Mr. Scott is not an office seeker, nor desirous of any political preferment. While he would be a very strong man for Oregon to send to the senate, and while three years ago he would have accepted an election, it is not likely that he will ever become a candidate, and he is doubtless sincere when he says he does not desire this or any other office, and that his position as editor-in-chief of the greatest paper on the Pacific Coast is one of sufficient honor and usefulness. Portland and all Oregon are much indebted to Mr. Scott for his free efforts in betalf of the jetty improvement and other needs of Oregon, as they were for his weeks of unremunerative efforts in behalf of the Lewis and Clark Fair appropriation, for his is a potential voice at the national capital, and in this emergency such an one was badly needed there. A TRAVELING GOVERNOR. The pleasant governor of Oregon has become a great traveler. He might be termed the absentee governor, so much of the time is he away from the capital, and even from the state, attending Elks' conventions, or league excursions, and swinging 'round the circle generally, with frequent tangent trips on the side. For two or three weeks past he has been on a prolonged jaunt down in California, leaving the affairs of state to his private secretary. It is not to be expected that the governor will remain in the state house six days in the week the year through, or not break away from the rather sedate town of Salem occasionally, but a great many voters are thinking that he has become rather too much addicted to the traveling and junketing habit to give due, careful and considerate attention to the duties of chief executive of the state. The governor has done some good things while in office, and has made few if any bad mistakes, and he has a winning way and an ever-ready smile and glad-hand; but it is perceived by many, even of his own party, that he is by no means invulnerable, and it probably will be demonstrated next June that he is not invincible. Still nobody except F. W. Mulkey, who only wants the "short term"—and very short it will be—less than two months—has openly announced himself as a candidate for United States senator, though it is taken for granted that Senator Gearin will be the Democratic candidate. It is rumored that while Judge Webster has not at this writing fully decided, he will conclude to run for county judge again; Jonathan Bourne appears to be preparing to fling himself into the arena; ex-Judge Lowell, of Pendleton, would like the office, but recognizes the fact that it must come to Multnomah county; and some others have been "mentioned," chiefly among them being Mr. T. B. Wilcox, who at the proper time is expected to make the necessary announcement, and we are of the opinion that when he does, nearly all opposition to him will disappear, as he appears to be the man among those spoken of peculiarly fitted for the work for Oregon involved in this position. IN THE PUBLIC EYE. From many state papers and other sources it appears that Farmer and Doctor Withycombe is steadily gaining ground, and is constantly improving his chances for the Republican nomination for governor. His work takes him among farmers in all parts of the state, with whom he is very popular, not as a politician, for he has never been one, but because of his ability and high character and industry and great usefulness. He has undoubtedly been of greater and more beneficial practical service to the farmers of Oregon than any other man in the state, and they appreciate it. And when a man benefits the farmers, teaches them how to raise more and better crops, to have better homes, and to prosper, he benefits all other classes of people, particularly the merchants, for all are more or less directly dependent on the farmers, and when they do well, all do well. Dr. Withycombe is not only an extensive and practical farmer, but he is a scholar and teacher of much ability, a good business man, a loyal Republican, and a man in every respect competent to fill the office of governor. Mr. Johns will get quite a good many votes, as will ex-Governor Geer, but the indications are that Mr. Withycombe will easily become the nominee. Among the several candidates for secretary of state none is better qualified or equipped for that important office than Mr. F. F. T. Wrightman, of Salem, who for eight years has been an assistant to Secretary of State Dunbar, having especial charge of the corporation tax bureau. He is thoroughly familiar with the duties of the office in every particular; is beyond question entirely competent and trustworthy, is a gentleman who is accommodating and democratic in manner and has a multitude of friends, and he will poll a very large and very likely the largest vote at the primaries in April for this office. A third candidate for representative in congress for the Second district has appeared in the person of Hon. John L. Rand, state senator from Baker county, but it is doubtful if he will be any more acceptable, if even as much so, to the rank and file of Republican voters, than the other two who had announced themselves. Friends of Mr. Johns, candidate for governor, who live in the same town, do not take kindly to the candidacy of either Lachner or Rand, and there is certainly a large fraction of Republicans in Portland who would not cheerfully support Rand. There appears to be rather too many candidates up in Baker county, as well as in Marion county. There is Mr. Alitken, away up in the little town of Huntington, who wants the big fat office of state treasurer, but the chances are that be will have to do some very lively rustling in other parts of the state to get it, and then the result would be, to say the least, doubtful in his case. He may be quite a big man in Huntington, but that town, though a good one of its size, is a mighty small part of Oregon. Some of the criticisms of Candidate for Representative Tooze in the First district are evidently prompted by personal grudge and malice, particularly the slurs of the Newberg Graphic, whose editor wanted to be postmaster of that town, while Mr. Tooze recommended another man. Hence the Graphic man discovered Mr. Tooze to be a bad man. Whatever its preferences might be if it lived in that district, The New Age doesn't believe in trying to beat a man by throwing mud at him. Judge Webster is a good while making up his mind, but the longer he looks at that comfortable county court bench the better it looks to him. Besides, he has read the fable of the dog crossing the stream on a log with a bone in his mouth. It was time Secretary of State Dunbar retired to private life, to give his head a chance to get down to its proper and normal size. Office holding does swell some men's heads badly. Senator Fulton's term is nearly half out, so he ventures to make a speech—said to be a good one, too. Our aesthetic and flea-imitating friend, G-ge Br-wn-ll, will not have a walkover for the nomination for state senator this time. Hon. E. L.

Allen are expect- ed in Portland this week. Mrs. Emma Richardson expects to return to Seattle to permanently reside. Mrs. R. Houston, of Springfield, Mass., is in the city for a few weeks only. Mr. Hughes, an old friend of Mr. Joe Barrows, is in the city for a few days. Geniel Ben. Chandler has returned from his recent visit to Frisco, where he had barrels of fun with Joe Gans and numerous other acquaintances. Rev. G. E. Jackson's 30 years in the ministry was celebrated in due form at Zion church on last Sunday. Rev. Jackson is an able speaker at all times. Mr. Emmerson Redmond, who went to the Salem asylum, was released, and is at present in our city. Mr. Redmond says he is going to his mother to live. The Athenia whist club has ceased holding meetings for a while. They expect to reorganize, and will soon give a series of entertainments at different members' houses. Particulars later. Mr. and Mrs. Virgil R. Westabrook were in the city for a few days this week. They left for Moro, Mexico, on Friday, the 26th. They expect to return to Portland in the summer for a visit. Household of Ruth, No. 849, G. V. O. of O. F., will give a public installation of officers at their hall on Yamhill and Second street on February 6. Refreshments will be served. The public is invited to attend. It would be a good idea if some of the mothers (of the young girls of this place) and some strong-armed women would get together and horsewheel some of these old hard, bad married men who hang around with nothing to do but to lure girls on to ruin, and then boast of it. Some of these men have families of their own; yet they feel the keenest pleasure in wrecking other men's homes. Mr. and Mrs. P. Lee have the sympathy of all the better-thinking people here in the sad misfortune which befel their daughter Martha. OUR CHICAGO LETTER OUR CHICAGO LETTER Chicago, January 16, 1906. The following colored persons died in Chicago last week: Mr. Jerry Williams, 2635 Armour avenue, who for many years was a prominent Republican of the Second ward, died last Thursday. Mr. John Wells, 208 Twenty-sixth street. Mr. Alonzo Wilson, 53 North Curtis street. Mr. Arthur Buford, 3844 Dearborn street. Mrs. Gussie Keene, 2513 Wentworth avenue. Miss Lena Tucker, 190 Jackson boulevard. Garden City club adopted the following resolutions: Whereas, Bishop W. B. Derrick, of the A. M. E. church, has been the cause of a split in one of the A. M. E. churches in the city of Pittsburg, Pa. and Whereas, From a thorough investigation into the matter as has been reported to us, this club is of the opinion that Bishop W. R. Derrick, together with his henchmen who commenced the war and trouble against Rev. Dr. I. S. Lee, in Pittsburg, in the Wylie Avenue A. M. E. church to remove Dr. Lee from the pastorate of said church, was solely from personal and prejudiced motives and without any just cause whatever; therefore, be it. Resolved. That this club here uneasurably and unhesitatingly censure and condemn Bishop Derrick in his action and attitude towards Rev. Dr Lee, and brand him and his actions as being only on a par with a cheap sawdust politician. That resolved further. That any man who would stoop to do such an unmanly act as it is charged that Bishop Derrick has done, is wholly unfit and unworthy to occupy the position of a bishop of the A. M. E. church, and we therefore believe that Bishop Derrick should be impeached and summarily removed from office; Resolved further. That we recognize Dr. I. S. Lee, of Pittsburg, Pa., to be one among the leading colored men of the United States and a distinguished and scholarly gentleman and a Christian minister and a credit to the church of which he is connected and this race of people all over this country; country. Resolved further. That this club appoint a committee of three to go to the next general conference of the A. M. E. church and present charges against Bishop Derrick and ask that he be removed from office. Bethel A. M. E. church is located on the corner of Thirtieth and Dearborn streets, Chicago, and was organized in 1862 by the late Rev. A. McIntosh, who was its first pastor. They now have a membership of 1,500. Valuation of church property, $100,000—they owe $5,000 on church debt. Rev. A. J. Carey is the pastor of the church. This is the same church that Rev. A. Murray was the pastor, who left Chicago two years ago, leaving the church involved in debt so that foreclosure proceedings in the court had been commenced and the church was advertised for sale. Rev. A. J. Carey has done a great work. I here give the names of the most prominent men in Chicago: Hon. E. H. Morris, Dr. Chas. E. Bently, Hon. John G. Jones, Dr. Geo. C. Hall, Rev. S. A. Brooks, Dr. J. F. Thomas, Hon. Edward D. Green, James A. Scott, Mr. C. J. Warring, Mr. D. R. Wilkins, Mr James E. Madden, Mr. T. D. McFarland, Mr. L. B. Anderson, Mr. T. Webster Brown, Mr. Abner A. Hodges and Mr. W. L. Martin. Mr. and Mrs. Ratcliffe, of 4850 Dearborn street, entertained a large number of their friends at a luncheon. Mr. and Mrs. Ratcliffe are among the prominent colored people here. Mrs. Ella Ratcliffe is also the High Priestess of Evening Star Court of Daughter of Sphinx. At a meeting of Chicago club, held last Monday, Mr. Coley offered the following resolutions, which were adopted and ordered published in all the colored churches: Whereas, Rev. William Gray, of this city, and who was some time ago requested to leave Evanston in somewhat of a hurry, when he had charge of a church in that place; and, Whereas, it has now been reported to this club that this same Rev. Wm. Gray who has lately been expelled and put out of one of the secret and benevolent organizations in this city on a serious charge; therefore, be it Resolved, That this club warn the people not to contribute one cent for the support and maintenance of the fake kindergarten school that is said to have in attendance a large number of free children, which said fake kindergarten school is located at 224 West Forty-seventh street, this city. Resolved further, That we brand this man Gray as a person who is unworthy to occupy the position of a minister, and is not deserving of the support or consideration of any fair-minded person throughout the land. The Evening Star Court of Daughters of Sphinx will give an entertainment at 4850 Dearborn street on the evening of January 29. Hon. E. H. Morris and his wife, of 2712 Dearborn street, gave an elaborate luncheon to a number of their friends last week. A meeting will soon be held in this city for the purpose of organizing what will be known as the National A.M.E. Church Association of North America. This association will take in, on its membership, all persons who are members of the A. M. E. church. More will be said about it in the future. The International Masonic congress will be held at Boston, Mass., July 7, 1906. All past and present masters of subordinate lodges and all present and past grand officers of grand lodges are delegates and entitled to seats in the Masonic congress. This is the first time in the history of the United States in Freemasonry that the colored and white Masons will meet together in a Masonic congress. Representatives from Foreign countries of the Masonic fraternities will be present on this occasion. TACOMA NOTES ```markdown ``` Mrs. Lawrence Sledge is on the sick list.

THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON. SEEKER FOR PEACE. Ambassador White Tries to Reconcile Germany and France. Algeciras, Jan. 24. — Henry White, the American ambassador to Italy and head of the American delegation to the Moroccan conference, is making the weight of the United States felt in quiet endeavors to bring France and Germany nearer together before the disputed questions arise in the convention. The questions cannot be long delayed. It has been impossible for the United States to take the lead in seeking a way toward an agreement that shall guarantee to all the countries an equal footing in Morocco and yet recognize in some respects the special position of France. It is a difficult task, but all the governments, except those directly concerned, are assisting in it, because of the danger of the situation, should the conference fail in settlement. TREATS AFFAIR AS A JOKE. Venezuelan Minister Refuses Explanation of Taigny Incident. Willemstad, Jan. 23.—Advices received here today say that the dean of the diplomatic corps at Caracas, the Belgian charge d'affaires, has conferred with Senor Ybarra, the Venezuelan Foreign minister, on the incident attending the embarkation of the ex-French charge d'affaires, M. Taigny, on board the French steamer Martinique off La Guayra, January 14. Senor Ybarra evaded the request and treated the Taigny incident lightly, remarking that M. Taigny had "allowed himself to be caught like a rat in a trap." King Peter's Throne Shaky. King Peter's Tithe Bank London, Jan. 24.—Special dipatches from Vienna to the London papers are inclined to attribute the strained relations between Austria-Hungarv and Servia partly to the waning influence of King Peter. The king is reported as being powerless to control the policy of his cabinet owing to the growth of Radical and Republican influences. The correspondent of the Daily Mail says: "It is believed in Austria that the days of the Karageorgevitch dynasty are numbered and that King Peter and his family will be expelled."

EHRMANNTRA Wholesale and Retail Dealer in MEATS 179 Western Avenue. 438 Bros Neuralgia in the Face.—For pain in the face and teeth take two teaspoonfuls of flour, the same quantity of grated ginger and mix them well together with sufficient alcohol to make a thin paste. Spread this on a linen cloth and apply it on the part affected on going to bed, wrapping a piece of flannel over all and it will afford relief. The Virtues of the Onion.—As a matter of fact onions are really sweeteners of the breath after the local effects have passed away. Onions correct stomach disorders and carry off the accumulated poisons of the system. They provide a blood purifier that all may freely use. Eaten raw, an onion will often check a cold in the head. One small onion eaten every night before retiring is a well known prescription for numerous affections of the head and is highly recommended for sleeplessness. Influenza and Grippe.—When influenza was epidemic throughout Europe many factory workmen contracted the disease and died. At one factory, however, the disease did not appear. Investigation showed that oil of turpentine was used in metal working. The oil became warm and evaporated and inhaling the air laden with it seemed to act as a germicide. Since then oil of turpentine has been always evaporated in that factory upon a stove and not a case of influenza has ever occurred. This preventive measure may be successfully employed in dwellings. Home-Made Cough Cure.—Procure one cake of dried mullein leaves from the drug store. It is about two inches square and three-fourths of an inch thick. Break it up and put on to steep in a quart of water. Simmer an hour or more, strain carefully and add three tablespoonfuls of pine tar. Steep for an hour and strain again, keeping always a quart of the solution in the vessel. Add three cups of good sugar. Simmer again, adding water as needed. There should be a quart when done and it is a thin syrup. Begin with a tablespoonful dose three times a day and increase somewhat if needed. "He managed to make the boys feel that it was a terrible thing to lose his respect," writes a former pupil of Dr. George Moberly, for many years head master of the Winchester School, England. His personality was inspiring and impressive. In "Six Great School-masters" the author says that Dr. Moberly would occasionally use his powers of ridicule and sarcasm to an extent that seems scarcely fair. He had been much annoyed by letters from the mother of one of the boys, begging him to see personally to all sorts of small matters connected with her son's health. Dr. Moberly determined to put a stop to this, so one day in public, before a whole-class, be said to the boy: "B., I have heard from your mother, saying that you are to wear flannel next your skin and to masticate your food. See that you do it." It is possible to imagine the agonized letter which went home by the next post, begging that no more such letters should reach the doctor. A boy once brought to Dr. Moberly a letter from his mother, asking for leave out. The boy had been smoking, and the letter smelled strongly of the forbidden weed. "Johnson," said Dr. Moberly, "does your mother smoke? Don't let me catch you doing it!" His Natural Bent. Fond Father—If that boy of mine has any particular bent, I can't find it. Philosopher — What experiments have you made to find out? "Very thorough ones. I gave him a toy printing press, a steam engine, a box of paints, a chest of tools and a lot of other things carefully selected to find out whether his tastes were literary, mechanical, artistic, commercial or what, and I know no more than I did before." "What did he do with them?" "Smashed them all up." "Ah, I see! He is to be a furniture mover."—New York Weekly. Sailors' Earrings. "Sailors don't wear earrings as they used to," said a ship chandler. "In the past I had a jewelry case and sold earrings of all kinds. Lately I did away with it, for there is now no money in sailors' earrings at all. "But there used to be. Every salt had his ears pierced, and was as proud of his earrings as a lady. For some varieties I got as high as $50 a pair. "A sailor would never wear precious stones, like diamonds or pearls, in his ears. The only stone he would wear was agate. That was a funny fact, wasn't it?" Decidedly Angelic. Winks—Cracky! What a pretty typewriter you have! Jinks—Pretty! She's angelic.

SORES THAT DO NOT HEAL Whenever a sore or ulcer does not heal, no matter on what part of the body it may be, it is because of a poisoned condition of the blood. This poison may be the remains of some constitutional trouble; the effect of a long spell of sickness, which has left this vital stream polluted and weak, or because the natural refuse matter of the body, which should pass off through the channels of nature, has been left in the system and absorbed into the circulation. It does not matter how the poison became intrenched in the blood, the fact that the sore is there and does not heal is evidence of a deep, underlying cause. There is nothing that causes more discomfort, worry and anxiety than a festering, discharging old sore that resists treatment. The very sight of it is abhorrent and suggests pollution and disease; besides the time and attention required to keep it clean and free from other infection. As it lingers, slowly eating deeper into the surrounding flesh, the sufferer grows morbidly anxious, fearing it may be cancerous. Some would cause the inflammation and old discharge to return and the sore would be as bad or worse than before. Sores that do not heal are not due to outside causes; if they were, external treatment would cure them. They are kept open because the blood is steeped in poison, which finds an outlet through these places. While young people, and even children, sometimes suffer with non-healing sores, those most usually afflicted are persons past middle life. Often, with them, a wart or mole on the face inflames and begins to ulcerate from a little rough handling; or a deep, offensive ulcer develops from a slight cut or bruise. Their vital energies and powers of resistance have grown less, and circulation weaker, and perhaps some taint in the blood, which was held in check by their stronger constitutions of early particle of the poison out of the blood. For this purpose nothing equals S. S. S. It goes down to the very bottom of the trouble, cleanses the 'blood and makes a permanent cure. S. S. S. enriches and freshens the circulation so that it carries new, strong blood to the diseased parts and allows the place to heal naturally.

When young Mengles took the train for Harvard his father said: "As soon as you find out let me know if you have passed your entrance examinations." Two days later, in the midst of making a heavy deal, he received the following telegram: "Yes. J. Meagles, Jr." Quite preoccupied and puzzled, he telegraphed back: "Yes, what?" The well trained son wired back: "Yes, sir."—Judge. Judging by a Sure Sign. "How do you know that that couple is married?" "They ride on my car every day." "Oh, then you are acquainted with them?"

THE SWIRF Get What Y THERE is a Reason Why the Good People of America buy Cascarets as Fast as the Clock Ticks. Every second some one, somewhere; is Buying a little Ten-Cent Box of Cascarets. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6—60 times to the Minute. 60 Minutes to the Hour, 3600 Boxes an Hour, 36,000 Boxes a Day of Ten Hours, 1,080,000 Boxes a Month, and then some. Think of it—220,000 People take a Cascaret tablet each day. Millions use Cascarets when necessary. The Judgment of Millions of Bright Americans is Infallible. They have been Buying and Taking Cascarets at that rate for over Six years. It is not an Experiment, not an Accident or Incident, but a sound, Honest Business, based on Time-Tried-and-Tested Merit, never found wanting. Cascarets are the implacable foe of All Disease Germs; the incomparable cleanser, purifier and strengthener of the entire Digestive Canal. They Act like Exercise on the Bowel-Muscles, make them strong and active—able to Help Themselves do their work—keep themselves clean. Cascarets are the safe-guard of Innocent Childhood against the Dreadful Death-dealing Dangers that threaten the Lives of the Little Ones. They are Purely Vegetable, absolutely Harmless, always Reliable and Efficient, Tolstol Was Unable to Answer. Once, in Moscow, near the Borovitchska gate, he (Count Tolstol), saw a persistent beggar, asking alms, who exclaimed: "A little penny, brother, in the name of Christ." A police officer approached; he was young, martial, and wrapped in the regulation sheepskin. At sight of him the beggar fled, hobbling away in fright and haste. "Is it possible," said Tolstol to himself, "that people are forbidden to ask charity, in Christ's name—in a Christian land." "Brother," he said to the polleeman, "can you read?" "Yes," said the officer, politely, for Tolstol has a grand air. "Have you read the Bible?" "Yes." "And do you remember Christ's orders to feed the hungry?"—and he cited the words. The policeman was evidently troubled; he turned to his questioner and asked: "And you, sir—you can read?" "Yes, brother." "And have you read the police regulations?" "Yes, brother." "And do you remember that begging in the main streets is forbidden?" The prophet found no answer ready. —Success Magazine.

Over Five Millions of Dollars have been Spent to make the merits of Cascarets known, and every cent of it would be lost, did not sound merit claim and hold the constant, continued friendship, Patronage and Endorsement of well-pleased people year after year. There is also a Reason— Why there are Parasites who attach themselves to the Healthy Body of Cascaret's success—Imitators, Counterreiters, Substititors. They are Trade Thieves who would rob Cascarets of the "Good Will" of the people, and sneak unearned profits, earned and paid for by Cascarets.

Ayer's Hair Vigor s The postal departments say Chicago is often and horribly misspelled by foreigners. It is said that the word has been spelled in 189 different ways. Here are some of the most puzzling: Zizazo, Japago, Hipaho, Jagiga, Schecchacho, Hizago, Chachicho and Shl-cahbzdo. Mrs. Witte has been consistently snubbed by the imperial family, and the question arises whether, now that her husband has been made a count, they will let her into that society. The present empress has been the worst of the whole lot. This is not because of Mrs. Witte's humble birth, but her Hebrew blood. One of the features that attract most attention in traveling through the Australian colonies is the number of churches which are everywhere to be found. Every little township or village has three or four edifices devoted to worship; in fact, one Victorian hamlet achieved notoriety by being the possessor of five churches and no public houses. A part of Thomas Palne's brain, which Moncree D. Conway bought as a relic at a London auction some years ago, was placed recently in the old Palne tomb at New Rochelle, N.Y., where a new monument in Palne's memory has been constructed. The story of the wanderings of Thomas Palne's body, after death, is becoming very complicated. Schuyler Van Ness, of an old Long Island Dutch family, was brought into Long Island city police court the other day as a vagrant, having been arrested for begging on a ferry boat. He was once a wealthy turfman, and owned Morello, the stallion that won the Futurity in 1802. The magistrate compassionated the broken old man and let him go. Fish caught on the consts of France and Italy are now transported alive by rail to Germany and Russia for the market. The living fish are placed in covered aquaria, or cisterns, running on small wheels, and stored in wagons for the purpose. The water of the cisterns is renewed continually by means of a motor pump and a system of pipes is connected with them. Human hairs are not, as might be supposed, perfectly cylindrical, but are more or less flattened in one direction. The most cylindrical hair is most inclined to grow straight, while hair that is much flattened has a tendency to curl; and the flatter the hair the greater this tendency. This is the main cause of curly hair; but the readiness with which hair absorbs moisture also affects curliness. The Zurich people are at present training a number of collie dogs to run down and catch law-breakers. Barracks at Selnau, near Zurich, have been set apart for the "education" of the animals. By means of dummies the dogs are taught to bring down a man and plin him to the ground without biting him. They also learn to jump over walls and to follow a man into the water and prevent him from drowning. The education of a dog is completed in six months. Four years ago William Rockefeller, the Standard Oil magnate, began an action at law against an old army veteran named Lamore for trespass on the magnificent Rockefeller estate at Malone, N. Y. The jury returned a verdict in favor of Mr. Rockefeller and awarded him eleven cents damages. Lamore's attorneys appealed the case. It has taken a dozen turns, but is still in the courts. Rockefeller is trying to get his eleighteen cents and Lamore is trying to keep from paying it. The Chinese eat indiscriminately almost every living creature which comes in their way; dogs, cats, hawks, owls, eagles and storks are regular marketable commodities, in default of which a dish of rats, field mice or snakes is not objected to. Cockroaches and other insects and reptiles are used for food or medicine. Their taste for dog's flesh is quite a fashion. Young pups—plump, succulent and tender—fetch good prices at the market stalls, where a supply is always to be found. A dish of puppies, prepared by a skillful cook, is esteemed as a dish fit for the gods. At every grand banquet it makes its appearance as a hash or stew. The Gaulois of Paris has been investigating that grave question, "Why do men wear mustaches?" About one hundred men answered the question. Six replied that it was too much trouble to shave, one declared that it was to hide his teeth, another that his long nose without it gave him a bad appearance, and three that it avoided colds. Three others maintained that it improved the air they breathed, and seven were of the opinion that a mustache was necessary to health. Seventeen men were content to state that they did it to please themselves, while only two said it was to please their wives. About sixty gave the reason that women did not like clean-shaven men. Why tell your troubles to a lawyer? That is the way he makes his living. HILB WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co. plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. How Many Birthdays?

Feeling In His Art: The singing teacher was visiting the school, and as this was an important event in the district, the pupils had been instructed to memorize a verse or two to recite for the entertainment of the visitor. During he delivery of his lines, one small boy was especially noticeable for the action with which he accompanied his words; so much so that the teacher, surprised at his efforts, commended him highly on the ease with which he spoke and the apparent practice which he must have put on the piece. "It was fine," she exclaimed, in closing, "and shows a large amount of rehearsal! But, Johnny, where did you get the gestures?" "Tain't the gestures," replied the young genius, with a twist, "tain't the gestures; it's the hives." CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Bought has borne the signature of Chas. H.
