Portland Capital, $500,000 STATE OF OREGON THE UNION 1889 TLAND, OREGON, SATUR ON, SATUR PORTLAND, OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1906. 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. Mutinous spirit is growing in the Russian army. Heat in Chicago is causing many deaths and prostrations. The czar has decided to immediately give land to the peasants. Japan will investigate the killing of seal poachers by Americans. Southern railroads have announced that they will obey the rate law. Valparaiso is under martail law, and is fast recovering from the earthquake. Cuban citizens residing in New York will ask Roosevelt to take a hand in affairs in Cuba. A Jewish massacre is threatened at Liedlice, Poland, where the chief of police has been killed. The Pan-American conference aims to make gold the universal money basis of the western hemisphere. London papers predict the annexation of Cuba by the United States and say it is the only thing to do. A St. Louis woman has married the wrong man through a mistake in sending letters by a marriage bureau. San Francisco will erect a temporary wooden city hall to be used until the present structure can be repaired. Cuban officials believe the insurrection has reached its limit. The government has withdrawn negro troops from Texas garrisons. Harriman is gaining control of the Northwestern as well as St. Paul road. The National Red Cross will receive funds for the relief of stricken Chilean cities. The steamer Manchuria, which went on a reef in the Hawaiian islands, is riadply going to pieces. The town of Llaillai is reported to have entirely disappeared as a result of the Chilean earthquake. Pat Crowe has given up his old life and engaged in newspaper work; so he has told the Omaha police. Dowie has been trying to settle difficulties with Volvia, but the latter has declined the prophet's terms. Mine gas in the coal mines near Mahanoy City, Pa., killed two miners, probably fatally injured five others and about a dozen were overcome. The railroads companies convicted at St. Louis of giving rebates to the packers have taken an appeal to the United States Circuit court of Appeals⁶. An insurrection in Cuba is spreading in an alarming fashion. San Francisco has raised $10,000 for relief work in stricken Chilean cities. Several more members of the dissolved Russian douma have been arrested. It is reported that John D. Rockefeller will establish a home for aged chorus girls. French secret service men have captured a supply of bombs intended for use on President Fallieres. San Francisco bank clearings have passed Pittsburg and she now stands sixth in the United States. The state of Illinois will see that prisoners released from the penitentiary are provided with work. The Pacific Mail steamer Manchuria went on a reef off Rabbit is land, in the Hawaiian group. The vessel will likely prove a total wreck. No lives were lost. Word has been received at San Francisco that the government transport service will remain at the bay city Plans for the erection of new docks and supply stations at Fort Mason have been approved and work will start within a few weeks. Railroads have voluntarily reduced grain rates in Minnesota. The governor of Warsaw has been seriously injured by a bomb. Activity of the police frustrated a plan to assassinate King Alfonso. It is said the sultan of Turkey has decided to recognize Leishman as an ambassador. Many immigrants who would be refused admittance at a port of entry are being smuggled in through Mexico. Bookbinders in the government printing office threaten to strike on account of the action of a foreman toward the men. . REVOLT GAINS HEADWAY. Cuban Insurgents Capture Another Town From Government. Havana, Aug. 24.—Pino Guerrera, the insurgent leader in rinar del Rio, today followed up the capture of San Luis, by taking San Juan de Martinez, the terminus of the Western railroad, and by threatening to wreck the railroad and all its property unless the company ceases forwarding troops for the government. Alarmed by these insurgent successes, the government has ordered from an American arms manufacturing company four rapid-fire guns and that these pieces be manned by ex-members of the artillery branch of the American army now here. If these guns prove to be effective, four or more additional guns will be ordered, and it is expected that experienced gunners will be procured in the United States to man them. The United States has not been asked to do anything in the premises. The subject of American intervention is not much discussed here, and is regarded as a remote possibility, there being general confidence that the government will be able to restore order in a short time. The killing of the insurrectionary leader, General Quentin Bandera, today in an engagement between rural guards and a band of his followers is regarded as dealing the insurrection a heavy blow. Public opinion appears to vary according to locality, from enthusiastic adherence to the government to open rebellion. In this city the general attitude is one of loyalty, but there has been nothing which could be fairly described as a general rising of the people in defense of the government. NOT ENOUGH MONEY FOR ALL. Deficiency in Appropriations for Maneuvers of State Troops. Washington, Aug. 24.—After a month of hard work, Assistant Secretary Oliver, of the War department, concluded that he had finally made a satisfactory adjustment of the many difficulties in apportioning the appropriation of $700,000 for pay of the militia at the maneuvers in different camps throughout the country, but it appears that all is not satisfactory. In some cases more state troops than had been given in the schedule were sent into the camps and more expense was thus added. This caused a deficit in the allotment of funds, especially in the matter of pay for the state troops. The pay department of the army decided to pay the troops as long as the funds lasted, those who came last going unpaid. Another adjustment may be made after the camps have finished their work, as some camps may not use all the money allotted to them and the funds can be used to make up the deficit elsewhere. It is possible that congress will be asked to make an appropriation to cover the deficit and the state troops pain next winter. New Age GET-RICH-QUICK FIRM OUT. Postal Department Arrests Operators of Fake Mexican Companies. Chicago, Aug. 23.—The operations of the Tabasco-Chiapas Trading & Transportation company and the Lu Me Ha Mills company, Mexican investment concerns, with offices at 16-20 River street, were stopped today by the United States postal authorities. Henry D. Bushnell, president, and I. B. Miller, secretary and treasures, were arrested and held in bonds of $2,000 each. It is alleged by the postal authorities that the operations of Bushnell and Miller, which have covered a period of five years, have netted them $850,000 from innocent investors. The two companies were capitalized for $2,000,000 and according to their literature operated large coffee plantations and owned several lines of steamers. The postal authorities declare that such is not the case, and that Miller and Bushnell have been paying dividends to investors from the money taken in for stock in the concern. To Educate Russian Children. St. Petersburg, Aug. 24.—With a view to submitting to the next session of the council of the empire and the lower house of parliament a bill for universal primary education, the cabinet, at a session held on Tuesday, decided that such a bill should be drafted by a special commission. The ministry of public instruction submitted statistics showing that there are in the empire 12,736,000 children of school age, of whom only 5,389,000 are receiving primary education. There are less than 90,000 primary schools in Russia. Another Purchase of Silver. Washington, Aug. 24.—The director of the mint Wednesday purchased 100.000 ounces of silver at 67 cents an ounce to be delivered at New Orleans. The price paid last week was 66.62 cents. DEAD EXCEED 2,000 Valparaiso At Last Learns Extent Of Loss of Life. HALF THE POPULATION LEAVING Steamers Carrying Thousands From Ruined City—Every Church, Hospital and Theater Destroyed. Vaplaraiso, Aug. 23.—Plaza de la Victoria as far as the plaza in the section called Las Delicias, four-fifths of the houses are completely destroyed by the earthquake, and the remaining one-fifth are badly damaged. From the Plaza de la Victoria down to the custom house only about one-third of the houses sustained damage. The banks of the city and the customs warehouses were not damaged. With the exception of Espiritu Santo, all the churches in the city were destroyed, as were the hospitals and the theaters. The number of dead is more than 2,000. The office of the Havas agency, although seriously damaged, are still being used for the company's business. The tragic scenes of the San Francisco disaster were reproduced here. There was a fight against fire, the lack of water and robbery and pillage. The authorities are now beginning to get in provisions, and water again is being supplied. All the fires have been extinguished. The first shock lasted four minutes and a half and the second two minutes. Most of the houses were thrown down by the second shock. Estimates of the damage range from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000. The Almendral quarter has been absolutely destroyed. The people are still camping on the surrounding hills and in the streets, and only today are calm and courage returning. The declarations are made that 80,000 people will leave the city. The lack of food is not yet serious. Telegraphic communication was re-established with Santiago yesterday. A number of steamers are engaged in moving the people of the city to points to the north and south. TO KILL GOVERNOR. Assassin Makes Attempt on Life of Cuban Official. Havana, Aug. 23.—An attempt was made this evening to assassinate General Emilio Nunez, governor of the province of Havana. The would-be-assassin was arrested. His identity is not known, but he is a white man and was well dressed. A telegram to the government late tonight stated that Major Laurent, with his detachment of rural guards, fought Guerra and his 300 men for three hours completely defeating him, killing or wounding many of his followers and taking three prisoners. The dispatch adds that the rebels dispersed in all directions, being chased long distances. None of the rural guards were hurt. General Jose Miguel Gomez, who was arrested Tuesday, was formerly governor of Santa Clara province and was the Liberal candidate for the presidency last year. He is expected to arrive in Havana early tomorrow. The government always suspected Gomez along with other Liberal leaders of conspiring or conniving at insurrectionary schemes, but there was no definite evidence until it developed that he was planning to take the field at the head of the Santa, Clara insurgents. Had General Gomez taken the field, it would have had an immense influence, as he is a strong, magnetic military leader. Uncle Sam for Banker. Chicago, Aug. 23.—A movement to secure more than 1,000,000 petitioners for the establishment of postal savings banks was started tonight by the North Side Turner society, many of whose members suffered by the collapse of the Milwaukee Avenue State bank. The plan contemplates that the National association of turners shall turn each one of its 37,296 members into a canvasser for signatures. Every candidate for congress throughout the country will be urged to state his attitude, and all political parties asked to assist. China Will Open the Door. London, Aug. 23.—A correspondent at Tokio, of the Daily Telegraph, reports that the United diplomatic representations of the United States, Great Britain and Japan have resulted in China promising to establish customs on the Ruseo-Chinese frontier. Not until this is an accomplished fact, the dispatch adde, will Japan consent to the establishment of customs houses at Dalny and Antung. NO. 18. STORM FOLLOWED THE SHOCK. Earthquake, Fire, Wind and Lightning Terrified Valparaiso. Valparaiso, Aug. 22. — The loss of life by the earthquake of Thursday, August 16, probably will not be short of 3,000, while the property destroyed is estimated at $100,000,000, and probably is far in excess of that sum. Order is being maintained with the utmost severity by the military, police and armed citizens' patrols, who are empowered to shoot looters on the spot. The authorities are showing the utmost energy in the protection of property. With the first terrible shock of the earthquake buildings collapsed, their walls falling with a tremendous noise. The inmates in many cases were unable to escape. The shock was followed almost immediately by a fierce storm, the wind prostrating the walls that had been weakened by the earthquake, and these broke trolley wires, which flashed incessantly. The second shock was even heavier than the first. Five minutes afterward fires started in every direction, and immediately the whole town, which had been momentarily in darkness, was illuminated by gigantic flames. The firemen made a desperate fight, though there was but little water, as most of the mains had been broken by the early tremor. FOREIGN CAPITAL TO REBUILD. Its Interests Are Large and Chilean Credit Is Good. New York, Aug. 22.—Quan Tonkin, a Chilean civil engineer, who is now in New York, said last night: "In Valparaiso local and foreign interests are so great that it is absolutely certain the city will be rebuilt. The financial burden of rehabilitation will not be thrown on Chile alone, but also on the numerous foreign interests, which include most of the nations of the world. Of the foreign interests I believe the English will be the heaviest losers, especially the many English fire insurance companies that suffered such great losses in the destruction of San Francisco. However, it must be kept in mind that Chile enjoys very high financial credit, especially in the London market, where her bonds are quoted at 99% per cent. The external debt of Chile is about $105,000,000, which has always been scrupulously served, and it takes only 21 per cent of the Chilean government revenue to serve this debt. The Chilean state railway alone represents nearly as much as the external debt, while the salt petre lands represent four or five times as much more." KUROPATKIN IS NEEDED. Disgraced General Has Full Confidence of His Soldiers. St. Petersburg, Aug. 22.—Is General Kuropatkin, once the pride of the entire Russian army, war minister and fighter by nature, but whose laurels were trampled under foot by the victorious Japanese at Liaoyang, in the earlier days of the fighting in Northern Corea and Manchuria, to be vindicated. That is the question uppermost in the mind of every officer of the army tonight, and also the chief topic of discussion at the military clubs, on the question arising through the industrious circulation of a report that the scar has sent for the general and intends to place him once again at the head of the department of War. Such action would overthrow all ancient Russian traditions, but it is apparently necessary. Kuropatkin is the one man, and probably the only one in all Russia, who is in a position to reorganize the army. He is loved by the common soldier, who believes that he is the only officer of general rank who has their interest at heart. If intrusted with the task of bringing back the allegiance of the troops to the "Little Father," he could do it, and the knowledge that this is so is responsible for the belief here that he is to come into his own again. Since his return from the front, a disgraced and broken hearted man, the general has been in retirement at his mother's home, but it is generally expected that he will soon be back in the capital in his old position as minister of war. Want Pay and Title To Go With Work Washington, Aug. 22.—Some better method of advancement of officers of the Philippine scouts is advocated by Brigadier General James A. Buchan, retired, former commander of the Visayas. Under the present law lieutenants cannot be promoted to the grade of captain. Many lieutenants of the Philippine scouts are and have been for the last five years performing a captain's duty, others raised, organized and for three or four years kept their companies in excellent condition, only to lose their commands. Police Will Keep Order: Chicago, Aug. 22.—Payment by Receiver Fetzner of a dividend of 20 percent to depositors of the defunct Milwaukee Avenue State bank, ordered by the court last week, will begin tomorrow morning. There were 22,000 depositors in the institution when it failed, and in anticipation of a rush on the place tomorrow an extra detail of police has been asked for to keep order. Some things go without saying, but a woman's tongue isn't in that class. The Kickapoo Indians are now governed by a woman. Civilized at last. We could see through some people before the X-ray was ever invented. Russia's reign of terror appears to have settled down to a steady drizzle. After a girl gets to be about so old she ceases to want to go on the stage. A boy can inherit all his father's bad habits, even when the old man hasn't got them. The Isle of Pines is now said to be pining for trouble and is again trying to annex the United States. Time works wonders. Even life doesn't look the same to a woman of 36 as it did when she was sweet 16. A Western alderman is reported to be suffering from an application of X-rays. Very few aldermen will bear looking into. A bachelor says that fully one-third of a woman's pleasures in life are derived from her ability to shed tears at will. A manufacturer promises to put flying machines on the market at $1,000 each. Put in your order now, before they go up. One man says the Duke of Wellington never won a battle; but the news comes too late to be of any comfort to Napoleon. What a man and his wife say to their guests and what they say about them after their departure are different, quite different. The German doctor who says that baldness is caused by stifling the imagination evidently must have a luxuriant head of hair. In relation to this bee sting cure for rheumatism, it at least causes the patient to forget all about his rheumatism for several exhilarating seconds. Men think they can fool some women all of the time and all wnoen some of the time, but as a matter of fact, they can't fool any of the women any of the time. Andrew Carnegie thinks many people now living will see England, the United States and Canada merged under one government. He doesn't mention the name of his candidate for President of the united countries. An English periodical, the Bystander, says New York's "400" is made up of people who lack refinement, and adds that there is no such thing as culture in America. How our English cousins do love us—when they can use us for their own profit. A Missouri man has discovered a new way to get rid of mosquitoes. He says to rub alum on your face and hands. When the mosquito takes a bite it puckers his buzzer so it can't sting. It sits down in a damp place, tries to dig the pucker lose, catches its death of cold, and dies of pneumonia. Alfred Mosely came to America from England three years ago with thirty carefully selected men to study the schools of this country. His report showed a keen understanding of the merits and the faults of American education. That the merits outweighed the faults is shown by the announcement of his intention to send to the United States and Canada five hundred teachers to learn the educational methods of this continent. The visit of a scientific expedition to Greeley County, Kansas, in search of information about a meteor which exploded there, has lately called attention to the way history is preserved in names. The Greeley County Court House is in the village of Tribune, and the nearest railroad station is Horace. It is probable that all the school children in that part of Kansas know the story of Horace Greeley and his great fight in the Tribune for freedom not only in Kansas, but in the rest of the country. It used to be the fashion, widely prevalent, to scold Eugenie when she was empress of the French for her extravagance in dress. She was criticised for it by all sorts of monitors, more from abroad than at home. It may surprise some who rebuked her so often to know that she has lately told a friend in this country, now when she can have no inducement to misrepresent anything, that only three times in her life—or else when she was married, once when her son was baptized and on one other occasion not specified—had she worn a gown that cost as much as $200. Yet in her time she was excoriated as the most richly dressed woman in the world, when millions of American women outclass her in costly railment every year. The great lesson of the Russo-Japanese war was that ignorance and corruption can not successfully contend with integrity. The Japanese were educated in the sense that their natural talents had been developed; in the administration of their affairs there was little or no corruption. The Russians, on the other hand, were densely ignorant. A people of fine talent, those in the ranks had been permitted to sink into a condition little above that of the brute. In the administration of the several departments corruption was in everything, from the corrupt tip of the lowest commissioned officer to the graft of the grand duke charged with supplying the navy with coal. And Russia, the great nation, went down in defeat before Japan, the small. But the fight was lost to Russia before a regiment left for Manchuria or a battle sail sailed for the China Sea. No matter how much or how little talent a man may have, the first requisite to his success in life is the choice of a calling. There is no way of acquaintance how many men out of 1,000 miss their calling, but apparently the world is almost full of square men in round holes and a large proportion of the manhood of the race is misdirected and practically thrown away. The reason of this is that there is nothing more difficult for a young man or for his parents and friends to do than to tell what he is made for and what he should devote his life to. Take the young man himself first, and he has two obstacles to deal with. In the first place, his best talent may be slowest of all his powers to develop. Some parts of his body grow faster than other parts and it is with his mental faculties. Most frequently his master passion will show itself from infancy, but in many cases he reaches manhood before he develops the gifts or traits which mark out his life work. In the second place, self-knowledge is the last faculty that any human being develops. During childhood and early manhood, when he needs self-knowledge to determine what occupation to follow, he knows absolutely nothing about himself. Indeed, a man is fortunate if by the time he is gray headed he understands his strong and his weak points and knows what he can do and what he can not do. Of course, these two considerations make it difficult also for a young man's parents to advise and direct him. They have seen his tastes and inclinations change several times already and they do not know but they may change several times more. Sometimes a youth's instincts will lead him aright and mislead those who have the control of him. It is related of a famous painter that his choice led him in boyhood to obtain employment in an artist's studio and that the artist, after watching him a while, advised him to limit his ambition to grinding the colors. This accounts for the large number of eminently successful men who start wrong and change from one calling to another before they achieve success. Some great men have, indeed, in this way acquired a reputation for instability and general worthlessness before they struck the galt that made them famous. This makes it an exceedingly perplexing problem for a young man to determine what he will do and the perplexity is tenfold greater now than it was fifty years ago. There were hundreds of years before that time during which the leading trades and professions were stable and almost stationary, but within one or two generations, owing to the ravages of inventions and labor-saving machinery, they have all either disappeared or been transformed. There is scarcely a business that a young man can take up to-day which may not become obsolete in a few years. In fact, the only thing that is permanent is knowledge. The time will never come when it will not help a man in the race of life to be acquainted with mathematics, physics, history, geography, physiology, chemistry and manual training. Unless he knows something of these sciences he may be unable to discover what he is made for or to do it after he discovers it. Beyond this—such is the present condition of the arts, manufactures, science and politics—a young man is literally compelled to be an opportunist. That is, he must do what he can until he can do something different and better. If he is industrious, sober, economical and watchful a kind Providence will little by little direct him aright. How He Knew. In a Kansas City court recently, a negro on the witness-stand was being questioned about a sick horse. "What was the matter with the horse?" asked the lawyer. "He was allin'," replied the witness. "Yes, I know," said the questioner, "but what was the matter?" "He was jes allin'." "But what was wrong? With what disease was he suffering?" "Jes allin'," persisted the negro. The lawyer was quiet a moment. Then he had a bright idea. He would try to get at the horse's symptoms. "Well, how do you know he was alling?" he asked. "Cause he died," replied the witness,—Kansas City Times. Clown. Clown was at first a tattooed person. In Britain and France the country people retained the habit of tattooing or of painting the faces in imitation of tattooing long after it had been abandoned in the cities. When a girl has to wash dishes and hates it, she finds a melancholy joy in going up to her room at intervals between the spoons and plates, and looking out of the widow with what she thinks is a sad, wistful expression in her eyes. How men are abused! Yet is it not a fact that you know a dozen good men to every unreliable one? THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON YEGEN BROS.

Happy is the man who enjoys the work that he must do. Lots of people are interested in the man whose principle is for sale. Even officeholders have their trials—and some of them have indictments. A man feels like kicking himself every time he is found in the act of offering an apology. Many a man's dyspepsia is due to a mistaken belief on the part of his wife that she can cook. A widow always pretends she isn't trying to help a man when he tries to kiss her—but she is, just the same. Russia can sympathize with the man whose automobile backed down hill when the power gave out. It knows the feeling. The two Krupp girls are going to get married at the same time, but not for the purpose of cutting down expenses. Wishing to show himself fully abreast of the latest styles in monarchical circles, King Alfonso has just had a cable net crisis. Until President Roosevelt becomes a grandfather, Emperor William may claim that he is a better man than the great American. There is evidently no truth in the rumor that the Czar is timid. He has been known to play dangerous games like chess and bridge whilst. John D. Rockefeller says Americans spend too much. He certainly couldn't have been thinking of Aunt Hetty Green when he incubated that idea. Of course you have often remarked that, while you are compelled to work eighteen hours a day, others slouch and loaf and seem to get along all right. It is understood that Diamond King Belt left the bulk of his great fortune for the advancement of the cause of education. This will be good news to school book publishers. The dispatches state that a chauffeur was almost killed by a cocoanut pie. We are left in wonder whether he ate the pie or whether it was thrown at him by some infuriated pedestrian. A Kansas statesman suggests a law making it a criminal offense to give away campaign cigars. Move to amend by making it a criminal offense to give away 5-cent cigars for campaign purposes. William Pinkney Whyte, the new Senator from Maryland, was eighty-two years old in August. He has for colleagues Edmund W. Pettus, eighty-five years old, and John T. Morgan, eighty-two, the two from Alabama. These three men are Senators indeed, in the original sense of the word. Surgery is not a popular thing anyway, but it must give people an additional horror of it to read so frequently of cases in which surgeons sew up people's bodies before they have taken their tools and dressings out of them. There have been several cases in which surgeons sewed up their forceps in the abdomen of patients and now there is another case in which a man is suing a surgeon who operated on him for sewing up in his body three yards of gauze packing. To laymen such things, if true, look inexcusable. The Panama Canal is likely to be a bond of union not only between the United States and the countries of South and Central America, but also between the little States of Central America, which have been several times divided, reunited and redidited. The canal will increase the importance of Central America, help build the industries and the railroads, and so give economic unity to States artificially separated. At present there are five countries in an area a little larger than California. The people, in number about four millions, are racially homogeneous, and there is no permanent obstacle to a peaceful union. Last year forest fires in this country burned over an area of a hundred and fifty thousand acres. This area is great, yet it is less than half of that which was swept by fire the year before. One reason for the difference is the increased efficiency of the fire patrol under the United States forest service. Its jurisdiction is limited to national reservations, but the influence of the forestry service extends to many private wooded tracts. The professional foresters are teaching the people how to care for the trees. One simple rule, which the owner of a few trees can easily follow and the owner of many trees cannot afford to neglect, is to keep the underbrush cleared. Most forest fires start in brush. A wood clear of brush has, so to speak, no kindling in which a fire can start. If it were possible to make a complete list of all the casualties of a whole vacation season—say from the first of July to the first of October—the showing would be so alarming as to shock careful parents and to call into existence a host of reform societies. The fact that summer accidents are reported as they occur, singly and in widely separated places, accounts in large measure for the slight and transitory impression they make on the public mind. The old meaning of the word accident, as something that "just happens," and could not have been prevented, still clings to it. Most of those who read these words may hold that view of it, and some of them are almost certain to find out by experience, before the summer is over, whether it is true or not. The purpose of this article is to change their minds. Accidents do not "just happen," nor is any one justified in calling them "dispensations of Providence," planned and foreordained by the Creator for some good but inscrutable purpose. Accidents are due to definite, material and usually preventable causes. The Creator does not deliberately decree that a certain canoe shall glide out from under a certain man and drown him, but He does establish immutable laws which the canoe obeys, and which the canoeist also must obey, if he would live. On sea or land, in yacht, automobile, mountain camp or on foot the immittigable laws hold good. Study the rules of the game, then obey them. If anything could add a deeper shade to the railway horror at Salisbury, England, it would be the presentiments that some of the victims had of their approaching doom, such as were expressed by the Santell family as they parted with their friends at the wharf in New York. What is the explanation of such experiences? Almost every one classes them with clairvoyance and telepathy as simply inexplicable mysteries and leaves them there. It is only now and then that any one is philosophical enough to take a more rational view of them, and that is that they are coelidental. If everybody knew of all the cases in which presentiments of death had proved delusive no one would be in the least astonished at those which are realized. No doubt there are thousands of the delusive kind to one that proves correct. The wonder is not that one in many thousands are realized, but that any are. The same is true of dreams, and a remarkable case of presentiment by dreams occurred several years ago in Connecticut. A woman whose husband was a traveling salesman dreamed three nights in succession that he had been killed in a railroad accident, and the fourth morning he came home in excellent health, having met with no mishap whatever. It so happened that this got into the newspapers, but it was only because it was an extreme case. If all delusive presentiments were published in the same way realized presentiments would attract no attention. It is said that it hardly ever happens that a steamer sails for Europe without some passenger having a presentiment of death and abandoning the voyage at the last minute. A Richmond (Va.) judge tells a story which illustrates the difficulty met with in trying to stop the carrying of pistols. A tough youth was brought before the judge, charged with firing a revolver in the street. The testimony in the case was to the effect that the young hoodlum had filled himself with whisky and had discharged his weapon in a crowded street. "Twenty dollars and costs," said the magistrate. "But, your honor," interposed counsel for the prisoner, "my client did not hit anybody." "Why you admit that he fired the gun? "Yes, but he fired into the air," explained the lawyer. "Twenty dollars and costs," repeated the judge. "He might have shot an angel." And the riotous fellow went to jail, not having the money to pay his fine. Not So Much. King Leopold of Belgium, while at Blairitz, taking a vacation from the worries of kingship in general and Congoland troubles in particular, was the central figure in an amusing incident which set that fashionable French watering place laughing. The democratic monarch bathed there, as did every other man, privately and unostentatiously. One morning, as he came out of the water, he chanced to collide with a portly man, who evidently did not know the king in a bathing suit. “What do you mean, sir?” he snorted savagely. “Be more careful! I would have you to know that I am a member of the Paris city council!” “Then I offer a thousand apologies,” replied Leopold at once. “I am only the king of the Belgians.”—Cleveland Leader.

"Poverty, of course!" cried Love, in the utmost vexation, and flew out of the window, leaving his body behind him—Puck. Simply Awful.

Still the council refuses or neglects to pass that ordinance revoking the franchise, or permit, granted to the "Central Oregon Railroad Co." to run its cars down Fourth street. It was not a grant in perpetuity at all; it merely "authorized and permitted" the company to use the street, mentioning no period of time during which this might be done, and binding future councils and generations to nothing. It is absurd to contend that this permit, granted 38 years ago, when Portland was a backwoods village, is binding upon the present city of 150,000, and the future city of half a million or more people. The railroad people have enjoyed this. privilege freely now for 38 years, paying nothing therefor to the city, and it should not complain if now the people require it to get off that thoroughfare, or at least pay a good round liberal franchise to the city for the privilege. Any other decision by the courts would not only be manifestly inequitable, but would be a travesty of the commonest principles of justice. Surely the people of Portland and of Oregon are not so beholden to Mr. Harriman that they should feel in a humor to bestow valuable gifts upon him. What has he ever done for this city or state that he was not compelled to do in his own interest? For many years he played the dog-in-the-manger act, and would neither do anything to develop the immense interior resources of Oregon nor permit any one else to do so. He only became active in this direction after Mr. Hill had finally decided on his North Bank road to Portland, and this Harriman has tried in every possible way to retard, harass and if possible stop. For years there has been a shortage of freight cars to carry away our lumber and other products. Mills are stopped for weeks, thousands of men are thrown out of employment, grain cannot be sent to market when the farmers wish, only when the railroad gets ready, and there has not been for many months more than one third the desired transportation facilities between this city and San Francisco; but Mr. Harriman cares nothing about all this, and does nothing to relieve or improve the situation. He can spend tens of millions in buying other railroads and bucking Mr. Hill, but nothing for the benefit of Portland or of Oregon, except sending out some pamphlets occasionally. We hope Mr. Hill will extend his road southward from Portland and that Gould will build northward along the coast and that Hammond will build across Oregon to Ontario, and that thus, through the energetic and public-spirited action of his rivals, Oregon will be developed and its products and population will greatly increase, in spite of Mr. Harriman and his railroads, which he has used so long to "milk" Oregon, but never to develop it and help make it the great state that it ought to be. BRYAN HAS NO CHANCES No doubt Mr. Bryan will be the next Democratic candidate for President, and a great many people are counting confidently on his election, while a far larger number think he has quite a good chance to win. We admit that Mr. Bryan is an abler, more ripened, wiser and safer man than he was in 1896 or 1900. It would be strange if he were not. We presume that he will be supported more generally, unitedly, by the Democrats of the country than he was in those years, but this will not elect him, for this is a Republican country by a tremendous majority, and while Mr. Bryan will run better in 1908 than he did in 1896 or 1900, the Republicans will win. Bryan may very likely win back Missouri, and so make the South solid again, but what Northern state can he carry? Possibly Colorado and Montana, though this is not likely, but we cannot think of another Northern state that he will have a "ghost of a chance" to carry, no matter whom the Republicans nominate. Roosevelt is out of it, and we must take him at his word, and the candidate may be either Taft, Root, Fairbanks, Cannon or Dolliver—probably one of these five—and while some of them would receive more votes than others—Doliver, for instance, than Fairbanks, and Taft than Root—any one of them, or any other Republican candidate, would carry almost every Northern state and be elected. The Republican party has been making an exceptionally good record lately, and the people know it. It has some disreputable old barnacles in congress, like Platt and Depew, but they do little harm. The tariff ought to be revised somewhat, but as long as the people are prosperous they do not care much about that, and it would not be wise to turn tariff revision over to the Democrats, who could never agree on anything good. The country will go Republican in 1908, as it did in 1896, 1900 and 1904, and while Bryan will run somewhat better than he did before, there is no reasonable ground for hope—or fear—of his election two years hence. He will have to wait six years hence, and probably a good deal longer. HEAT SHRIVELS THE GRAIN. Reports of Damage to Crops in the Central West. Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 21. — Hot winds the past two days, following a week of unusual torpidity, the maximum temperature being daily from 90 to 100, has created fear among grain men that widespread damage to the late grain and corn has been done. Today has been a scorcher, although there are indications tonight of a let-up. From Western South Dakota, Western Nebraska and the northern central part of South Dakota and Southern Minnesota reports today are that late grains had been ripened so rapidly that the berries are badly shriveled. The greatest harm is expected in cornfields, which have not in ten years, according to reports a week ago, promised such abundant yields. Corn is in tender tassel, with kernel in the most sensitive stage of its life. Where moisture has been sufficient the damage will be light, but in the vast territory west and northwest from here it has been dry for two or three weeks and when the hot winds came the vegetation has been largely robbed of its power of resistance. Good authority places the depreciation in the corn crop as the result of the last week of fierce heat at from 5 to 10 per cent on the average, with much greater loss over various extensive regions. PROPERTY LOSS IN MILLIONS. Death Roll at Valparaiso May Reach Two Thousand. Valparaiso, Chile, Aug. 21 —At 7:52 o'clock last Thursday evening Valparaiso experienced an earthquake of great severity, and during that night 82 shocks were felt. Most of the buildings of the city are either burned or damaged. The loss will be enormous, probably reaching $250,000,000. Two thousand persons killed is considered to be a fair estimate of the casualties. Vena del Mar, three miles from Valparaiso and having a population of over 10,000, Quiribu, 225 miles to the southward, with a population of 25,000; Santa Limache, 15 miles to the northwest, with a population of 6,500; Quillota, 25 miles to the northwest, with a population of 10,000, and villages all around were destroyed. Meet of the damage was due to fire, which started immediately after the first shock. The whole population is sleeping in the hills, the parks or the streets. Food is very scarce. Milk costs two Chilean dollars, and it is almost impossible to obtain meat, even at high prices. The railways are all destroyed. Rain, which began to fall immediately after the first shock, stopped an hour afterward. The nights are very cold and windy; the people sleeping in the open are suffering greatly. The captain of a steamship which arrived from San Francisco says the situation here is worse than that following the disaster at San Francisco. Storms in Pennsylvania. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 21. — Reports received here from points in Allegheny and neighboring counties indicate that great damage has been done by a storm that passed over Western Pennsylvania late this afternoon and tonight. Telegraph and telephone communication was interrupted at many points, and it has been impossible to obtain full accounts. Railroads suffered from washouts and many delays resulted. Part of Suterville is said to be under water, which at some places is 15 feet deep. No lives are reported to have been lost. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON THE LATE LADY CURZON. American Girl Who Was the First Lady of India. THE WEEKLY The death recently at her beautiful home in England of Lady Curzon, of Kedleston, brought grief to three nations. England, where she had endearedly herself by her charming simplicity and womanly sweetness, and India, where for so many years she reigned as the wife of the viceroy, unite with the United States in mourning the demise of an American girl whose elevation to British aristocratic and official circles had not caused her to forget the republic in which she was born and for which she retained the deepest affection. Lady Curzon's health failed while in India, but it was supposed that her return to England would speedily restore her strength and activity. The extreme heat, however, increased the general debility from which she suffered and death resulted from heart failure. Mary Victoria Letter was born in Chicago, daughter of Levi Z. Leiter, a millionaire business man. Some years ago the family moved to Washington LADY CUBZON. and resided in a magnificent home, entertaining largely and with a lavishness such as only great wealth permits. While on a visit to England Miss Letter met Lord George Nathaniel Curzon, since made Baron Kedleston, and his lordship followed her to Washington. The wedding took place in April, 1895, one of the guests being Mrs. Cleveland, of whom the bride was a close personal friend. The beautiful American girl was welcomed to the most exclusive inner circles of English society and at once set herself the task of mastering British politics in order to be an aid to her able and ambitious husband. In 1898 Lord Curzon was made viceroy of India, retaining the office until August 10 of last year. His success and popularity as viceroy was largely attributed to the good judgment, graciousness and womanly worth of his American wife. Her court at Bombay, Calcutta, and Simla was among the most magnificent in the world and the Indian potentates accepted her social sway as they would that of the Empress of the empire. It is no exaggeration to say that no English-speaking woman ever equaled her in the influence she wielded in India or in the affection which the millions of that continental peninsula showered upon her. At one time there was talk that Lord Curzon would be made governor general of Canada, in which case an American girl would have been the lady of Rideau Hall. Lady Curzon was left $3,000,000 in her own right on the death of her father. An equally liberal provision was made for her sister, the Countess of Suffolk and Berkshire. She leaves three children, the youngest but a few months old. How May Sutton Felt: Miss May Sutton, the tennis champion, was talking one day in Boston about an early defeat. "I had been so sure of winning," she said, "and that made my disappointment all the greater when I failed." "I was as disappointed," she said, "as a huckster who used to live in Los Angeles. "This huckster, coming out of a patron's house one day, saw a little boy feeding apples to his horse. Pleased to see the animal getting an excellent meal at no cost to himself, the man patted the boy on the head and said: "That's right; always be good to animals. And where did you buy those pretty apples?" "I didn't buy them," the boy answered. "I took them out of your wagon."—"Philadelphia Bulletin." Damages Sufficient. An old colored woman was seriously injured in a railway accident. One and all her friends urged the necessity of suing the wealthy railroad corporation for damages. "I 'clar to gracious," she scornfully replied to their advice, "if I ain't done git more nuff o' damages! What I'a wantin' now and what I'a done gwine to sue dat company foh is repairs."—Cleveland Leader. A Strong Line.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY. In speaking of a person's faults, Pray don't forget your own; Remember, those with houses of glass Should seldom throw a stone. If we have nothing else to do But talk of those who sin. 'Tis better we commence at home, And from this point begin. We have no right to judge a man, Until he's fairly tried; Should we not like his company, We know this world is wide; Some have their faults—and who has not? The old as well as young; P-raphs we mav, for aught we know Have fifty to their one. I'll tell you of a better plan, And find it works full well. To try my own defects to cure, Before of others tell; And though I sometimes hope to be No worse than some I know. My own shortcomings bid me let The faults of others go. Then let us all when we commence To slander friend or foe. Think of the harm one word may do To those who little know. Remember curses, sometimes like Our chickens "roost at home": Don't speak of others' faults until We have none of our own. PORTLAND LOCALS Miss Mabel Walker-Davis left last Sunday for Tacoma on a visit to her mother. Mans' Day, which was held at the Bethel church last Sunday evening, was an exceptionally grand affair. Their program was excellent and well rendered. Mr. Moses is expected to leave Friday for a short visit to Los Angeles. The rumors were that he was to be married there, but Mr. Moses flatly denies the statement. Mrs M. McAfee, the organist of the Bethel choir, is expected to leave soon for California to visit her mother. Miss Orah Rhodes will act as organist until Mrs. McAfee's return. Miss Mattle Ashby, who was voted the most popular young lady at one of our contests, left very unexpectedly Thursday evening for St. Paul, chaparroned by Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Procter. Mrs. Ashby will follow her in a few days. Mr. Jakle Jones, one of the most prominent gentlemen of our city, has accepted the position as soliciting agent for the Oregon Laundry Co. When you wish any laundry work done ring up East 13 and ask for him. All calls are promptly answered. Last Tuesday evening the ladies of the Bethel church tendered a reception in honor of Dr. Grant, presiding bishop of the Puget Sound district. In the fore part of the evening he delivered an address which showed much thought and preparation. During the latter part of the evening Bishop Grant, accompanied by Rev. Tolliver, left on the 11.45 train to attend the annual conference. RICH COLORED GIRL. Tusla, I. T., Aug. 1.—The boundary lines which separate the lands of the Creek, Cherokee and Osage Indians converge to a point to the north central part of the new state of Oklahoma. A few miles south of this point, in the Creek Nation, lives a little Negro girl named Isabella Lewis, the daughter of a Negro who was formerly a Creek slave. This little girl owns 80 acres of land, part of her allotment, in the new "Glenn Pool" oil district which is giving her an income such as only millionaires can have. There are three oil wells on her land, each of which is producing 1,000 barrels of oil per day, and each of which is capable of having its daily capacity doubled. It is the announced intention of the company that has leased her land to put down seven more wells. If they each produce as much as those already drilled, and there is no reason to doubt it, her royalty of one-eighth of the entire amount produced at 52 cents per barrel, the present market price of oil, will give her a daily income of $650, or an annual income of $237,000. At 5 per cent that amount would be the interest on a capital of nearly $5,000,000. Under the laws which Isabella Lewis has granted to the operators who have leased her land and which was the subject of the agreement, the oil which is her daily share is turned into the pipe of the Standard Oil Co. and the money it represents is at once placed to her credit. Josephine Morrison, another little Negro girl 12 years of age, the daughter of a Creek freeman, has an allotment of 16 acres in the oil-producing district surrounded on all sides by flowing wells. The Morrison girl has her tract leased on a royalty of one-eighth of all oil produced. The lessees of this tract intend to drill at least 20 wells as fast as the oil can be taken care of by the Standard Oil people. The father of the Morrison, as well as the father of the Lewis girl, has been appointed guardian of his daughter. Their guardianship, however, is only nominal, for the reason that every act of the guardian must be approved by Secretary Hitchcock. This scrutiny of accounts, particularly in the expenditures of money, by the United States secretary of the interior cannot help but result in making both the Morrison and Lewis girl very wealthy when they arrive at legal age. PROFESSOR W. T. VERNON. Registrar of United States Treasury, Makes a Notable Address at Young People's Congress in Washington, D. C., August 2. At the session late yesterday afternoon W. T. Vernon, registrar of the United States treasury, delivered an address on the theme, "The Work of the Negro Minister in the Solution of Pending Problems," in the course of which he said, in part: "For more than nineteen centuries the gospel of the Nazarene has been proclaimed to erring mankind, and the best hearts and best brains of the world have been given to its fostering. I take up no pessimistic strain— I rather cite unvarnished truth when I say that there are wrongs to be righted that shall yet call for the supreme efforts of the good, the pure and holy. "We believe the pupil is calculated to be, as ever, one of the greatest forces in social progress. No one doubts the work to be done. Furthermore, we know it will not be done of itself. The law of cause and effect inoxorably require effort for the accomplishment of results. "An intelligent diagnosis of the condition affecting society as a body has revealed a mortuary list doubly increased because of a disregard of the laws of health, and the promoters of public morals and human rectitude are astounded to find our great cities incubators of crime. The disclosures thus manifested can but arouse to activity those desiring a betterment in the condition of mankind. "Against such condition and results Rectifying of Ills. "The causes that lead to a rectifying of humanity's ills must be the result of a growth of sentiment having its hopes centered in the words, 'And I if I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me.'" "I observe here that the greatest efforts for reform socially, for the betterment of the oppressed of earth, have come from efforts to put in force the teachings of Him who died to make men holy. "Twas the golden rule that turned humanity's batteries on slavery and wiped the tears of four million slaves from their faces. It will be the golden rule in force, when it comes, which will make the whitest man and the blackest man of America shake hands and say, 'Verily, all we are brethren.' "Daniel Webster once said, 'Where have the life-giving waters of civilization ever sprung up, save in the track of Christian ministry?' Further, he said: 'I contend that no literary efforts, no adjudications, no constitutional discussions, nothing that has ever been done or said in favor of the great interest of universal man. has done this country more credit at home and abroad than our body of clergymen.' Application of Laws. "The supposition that laws externally applied can rectify ill is decidedly erroneous. Laws can be repressive in the case of the criminally inclined, but nothing can be substituted for the creation within of a clean heart, the lifting up of a soul out of the quagmire of low thoughts and vicious alms. To this end all are bending energies to the confronting of the mind of the individual to the better things of life, to the planting within of a hope of greatness—the result of goodness. We have learned this, that men can only be made wise and strong from internal causes working outward in accordance with an awakened conscience. "Out of the effectual effort for improvement has come the acknowledgment that God gives men certain inalienable rights—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—and that the man who overrides or usurps these is worse than a thief and a murderer. Christ taught the duty of man to man. To this more and more we must come. The sea-born gale, the rolling plain for hundreds of years have brought the echo of the tocsin of war—but the wars of this latter day have not been for the sport and jest of kindly murderers. They are the results of some dispute as relates to the liberties of a people who would no longer be enslaved. "To train out of the lower self to the higher self, to rise out of the ignoble into the noble, to direct aright the ever-growing mind, to make better the ever-evolving soul, to put to work the idle hand, directed by the enlightened brain inspired to nobler deeds by an illumined spirit—tis that which makes man, no matter what the race or color, God's noblest workmanship and earth's all."

COLFAX, WASHINGTON --- ASHLAND, OREGON THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON Like Midas, Everything the Financier Touched Hecame Gold. Lacking but a few days of 90 years of age, Russell Sage passed away at his summer home at Lawrence, Long Island. For two or three years his health had been failing, owing to his extreme age, and for half a year he had not been in his office but he confidently expected a summer in the country would restore him to vigor. So long as he retained consciousness he thought he was gaining in health and he planned on celebrating his birthday anniversary as usual. Death came quietly after a period of coma and was solely due to his accumulated years. With the death of "Uncle Russell" Sage there passed away the greatest private money lender in the world, a man who for many years has had from $25,000,000 to $50,000,000 in cold cash constantly lent out at good interest, most of it on call loans. No other man in the world possessed as much cash capital as did he, but he also had great invested wealth, principally in railroads. It had been thought that his death would create a panic on Wall street, owing to the money he had loaned, but he considerably had made provision that in case of his death there should be no sudden call for the loans. Russell Sage started out as a poor boy controlled by a dread of the poverty which he saw all about him and determined that he would become a rich man. Debt was a thing he abhorred, a weakness which he knew was the curse of men who otherwise would have been successful and happy. He early resolved to live well within his income, to save his money in times of prosperity so as to be always ready for those periods of sudden stress and adversity RUSSELL SAGE which come to all men. From the first he was successful. He saved the first dollar he ever earned and early learned how to make his money work for him. He started when a boy on the hunt for gold and as long as life lasted he never gave up the chase. He never took a vacation because he felt that he could enjoy nothing so well as the constant accumulation of wealth. It was not the enjoyment of wealth and what it would procure for nim, but the accumulation of the money, which kept him continually in the harness. He was as joyous over saving 5 cents at a lunch counter or in getting two years' wear out of a ready-made suit of clothes as other men would be over an European trip. Russell Sage was born in the township of Verona, Onelida County, N. Y., on August 4, 1816, his father having come to central New York in an ox wagon. When Russell was an infant the family moved to Durhamville, at the head of Onelida Lake. Like his brothers, Russell left the farm at a very early age. He began trading in horses. Before he was 19 he had accumulated nearly $2,000, then he left his brother's employ and opened a store for himself. This he sold at a profit and engaged in the shipping business. At the age of 22 he was worth $25,000. At 28 he was sole proprietor of a wholesale grocery and commission business in Troy and was rated at $300,000. He was elected alderman and was sent to Congress for one term. In 1857, when 41 years old, he went to New York, seeking a wider field for his trading activities. He bought the La Crosse road, part of the Milwaukee & St. Paul system, for $25,000, kept it six months and sold it for $1,000,000. From that time forward he was a factor in Wall street, always looking for a sure thing and always getting it. For a time he and Jay Gould were closely associated. He never speculated, as that term is generally understood. He preferred to buy stocks outright, after studying them carefully; but he made most of his enormous fortune by loaning money. At his death his fortune was estimated at $100,000,-000. Russell Sage had no hobbies. He cared nothing for the things that wealth could buy. Things that other millionaires are wont to spend their money on had no charms for him. He cared nothing for art, music, pictures, steam yachts, social entertainments or books of travel. As wealthy as Croesus, his tastes to the last remained as simple as those of a $20 a week clerk who strives to live within his income. His business apparently absorbed his whole life. According to the popular estimate of him he represented the most perfect development of the money making machine in human form. Russell Sage was twice married, but he had no children. His first wife was Miss Maria Winne, daughter of Moses I. Winne, of Troy. She died in New York in 1867. Two years later he married Miss Margaret Olivia Slocum, daughter of Joseph Slocum, a merchant of Syracuse. His friends declared that of all the good bargains he had made in his Life his marriage to this estimable woman was by long odds the best. What he lacked she possessed. Her charitable deeds were many. With her Mr. Sage's home life was a very happy one. EGYPT'S PEASANT WOMEN. English Government Taking Steps to Educate Them. The peasant woman of Egypt, the poor, patient creature who through the weary length of centuries, through the vicissitudes and tragedies of dynasties, rulers and queens, remains, like the sphinx, unchanged, is presented to the public in the Fortnightly Review as the mother of rejuvenated Egypt, "the Egypt that will be born not bond, but free." Already one of her race—the beautiful Thewfida—has become mother of the Khedive, and from other peasant mothers, says the writer, Walter F. Mieville, great sons are destined to be born. At the present time, however, there appears to be few signs of greatness in the Egyptian daughter of the soil. Her very name, fellaha, means to plow or till, and from her earliest years she is accustomed to drudgery. "In the close season," says Mr. Mieville, "peasant baby girls are posted as sentinels over the horses and cattle tethered in the vividly green barseem fields. Active little maldens carry diminutive hods or baskets of mortar or bricks when building operations are in progress, or are sent to destroy caterpillars when they threaten to destroy the crops. The bigger girls in time of wheat harvest join with the older women in field labor, which is very fatiguing. As a wife and mother the wearlsome occupations of the peasant woman's day begins with her household duties, the washing, scouring, baking and cooking; then comes her modest marketing, and much time also is given to her dusky little cherubs, the children who, when small, tread only on her skirts, but who, when they come to man's estate, oft trample on her heart. In the intervals of housework there is even labor in the fields ready to her hand. The fundamental fact that she is desirable solely on account of her sex is dinned into the fellaha's ears from girlhood; her upbringing holds out to her no other goal than marriage; her brothers early learn a sensual attitude toward all womankind. From pecuniary necessity, a fellah's means not permitting of his taking unto himself many wives, polygamy does not obtain extensively among the peasantry, but the woman who falls to bear children is quickly 'put away', for every adult male is expected to found a family, or, if not divorced, drinks to the dregs a very bitter cup. To politics she is a stranger and she meddles not even in village concerns which may affect her husband. She is not even expected to have any religion. Humly in her soul under heaven's blue canopy she cannot bless Allah, the compassionate, the merciful, whose celestial breath she feels in the cool morning air, but religious duties are not obligatory for her as for men, and she may but rarely enter a mosque during the regular hours of prayer." In conclusion, Mr. Mieville says the British government is taking some steps by means of education to prepare the future mothers of Egypt for their enlarging responsibilities, and, considering the difficulties of the situation, has made encouraging progress. The Final Touch. It was known that Anabelle Hobbs had made a good match, from a worldly point of view; just how good, however, nobody in Hillville fully realized until the return of Anabelle's mother from a visit to the new home. "I guess there's nothing Anabelle can't have if she takes the notion," said Mrs. Hobbs, with a sigh of satisfaction. "I tell her she'd ought to show reason, for of course Henry will get kind of wonted to her after a while, and not be quite so ready; but now he takes up with all her whims. What do you suppose his last gift was?" The listener dared not venture a supposition. "I didn't imagine you would," self Mrs. Hobbs, with satisfaction. "Anabelle's always been set on onions ever since she was a child, but her pa and I never encouraged her in it, first because they smell so, and then, too, they cost considerable unless you raise them yourself. "Well, Henry found out how fond she is of 'em, and he ordered a half-bushel to be there when they got back from the trip; and then when she told him my objections, and he knew I was coming, he bought a pint bottle of that new hyacinth perfumery and put it in the guest-room for me. "When I got it on, why, Anabelle might have eaten the whole o' that half-bushel of onions and I should never have known it. Here, you smell o' that handkerchief and you'll see I'm not speaking a word beyond the truth." They're Expensive. Youth—What do I have to pay for a marriage license?

Two gentlemen dining in a New York restaurant were surprised to find on the bill of fare, the item, "green bluefish." "Walter," one asked, "what sort of bluefish are green bluefish?" "Fresh—right from the water," said the waiter, offhand. "Nonsense," said the man. "You know well enough they do not take bluefish at this season." The waiter came up and looked at the disputed item. "Oh, that, sir!" he said, with an air of enlightenment. "That's hothouse bluefish, sir." His Hard Luck.

Fetters of friendship and ties of flowers And true lovers' knots. I ween. The girl and the boy are bound by a kiss, But there's never a bond, old friend, like this-- We have drunk from the same canteen! It was sometimes water and sometimes milk And sometimes apple jack fine as silk; But, whatever the tipple has been, We shared it together in bane or bliss, And I warm to you, friend, when I think of this— We have drunk from the same canteen! The rich and the great sit down to dine, And they quaff to each other in sparkling wine From glasses of crystal and green, But I guess in their golden potations they miss The warmth of regard to be found in this— We have drunk from the same canteen! agree And have marched and fought in all kinds of weather. And hungry and full we have been; Had days of battle and days of rest, But this memory I cling to and love the best— We have drunk from the same canteen! For when wounded I lay on the outer slope With my blood flowing fast and but little hope Upon which my faint spirit could lean— Oh, then, I remember, you crawled to my side, And, bleeding so fast it seemed both must have died, We drank from the same canteen! —Gem.

Whose heart hath ne'er within him burn'd As home heart his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand? If such there breathe, go, mark him well! For him no minstrel raptures swell; High though his titles, proud his name, Boundless his wealth as wish can claim— Despite those titles, power, and self, The wretch, concereted all in self, Living, shall forfeit fair renown, And, doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung Unwept, unhonor'd, and unsung. —Sir Walter Scott. THE FELLAH'S YOKEMATE. Some Occupations of the Egyptian Girl and Woman. Her lot has improved vastly since those dark days of superstition when, in order to propitate Scerapis, the delty who presided over the waters of Father Nile, she was liable to be given as a sacrifice to the flood-custom which was until quite recently commemorated at the annual cutting of the Khaeeg at Cairo by the erection of an earthen "bride," which was swallowed up by the rushing waters, says the Fortnightly Review. Albeit the fellow's lines have never been cast in pleasant places, very early in her existence does her round of drudgery begin, for while still a tiny child she is allotted a variety of tasks. In the clover season one sees peasant baby girls posted as sentinels over the horses and cattle tethered in the vividly green bersem fields; mere children, placed in authority near a harshly creaking water wheel, follow with toddling steps the wry little donkey or gaurt, ugly buffalo harnessed to a wooden prop which is attached to the cogged wheel of the sakeyech. The little mites by voice and whip urge the weary blindfolded beasts to keep jogging along in the worn circular track, that the slowly revolving earthenware pots cease not to pour the fertilizing water into the trough. The same little maldens, their hair generally plaited and the wispes and braids decked with colons, are often seen tending small serds of goats. At times, too, they are sent to forage for rare windfalls of firewood (rare, because in the delta wood of any sort is scarce), which, if they find, they carry homeward across the fields on their heads, the strings of beads and glass bracelets on their fat little necks and arms glistening in the bright sunshine; while those who dwell in woodless provinces are employed to collect manure, which, mixed with chopped straw, is pounded into round cakes and when dried in the sun forms the staple native fuel called "gelleh." Active little maldens carry diminutive hods or baskets of mortar or bricks when building operations are in progress, or are set to destroy caterpillars at seasons when these pests threaten destruction to the maize or other crops. Should their village be within easy distance of a railway, girls of tender age are sent to hawk goolahs of cold water, hard-bolled eggs or fresh dates, figs or oranges, up and down the countryside stations; and these bright, clamoring, smiling, pearly teethed maidens are pleasantly familiar little figures to all travelers throughout the Delta. The bigger girls in time of wheat harvest will join with the older women in field labor, which is very fatiguing, as in many districts not only do they pluck and blind the corn, but afterward carry the sheaves to the threshing place. Not infrequently a bevy of women laborers who have the leisure will proceed at harvest time from village to village, and so add a few more shillings to the modest family chest. The Polite Burman. In the cities of Burma, where the lives have been long in contact Europeans, says the author of "But Painted and Described," they have Few Egyptian village scenes appeal more forcibly to the cultivated taste or artistic sense than that of the village malden fetching water from the river or the well. The lithe, elastic, well-developed figure of the peasant damsel seems singularly noble in its homely simplicity, draped in its loose dark blue garment, the beautifully molded earthenware pitcher poised upon her shapely head. Her long veil of coarse crepe, it is true, is half drawn to conceal her face from prying eyes, or, when she wears no veil—and often, owing to the exigencies of field labor, the burk (face veil) is dispensed with—its office is performed by gathering a fold of her head covering into a corner of her mouth. Yet the very poor are not always punctillous about keeping their faces hidden from strangers, and so sometimes one sees the indigo or greenish-blue tattoo designs on the forehead or below the under lip. On reaching the river, where her shadow seems to kiss the ripples, the modern Rebekah tucks the skirts of her ralment between her knees, enters the water to cleanse and fill her water jar (balass), and, then, with a last feminine touch of adjustment to the folds of her dress, she raises the heavy burden into position and bears it away, spilling nothing of its limpid contents. She never loses her balance, having made a practice from early childhood of carrying all burdens on her head and having thus acquired a naturally upright carriage and statuese gait. --- Buying a cup of tea may be a tragedy or a comedy. Much depends on the sex of the buyer. This is the way a man buys it, says a writer in the London Sketch. He slides sheepslily into the shop, takes the seat in the draft of the door that everybody else has avoided, and says to the waitress with a diffident smile: "Oh, would you bring me a cup of tea?" The waitress, who returns the smile or does not return it, according to the rule of the establishment in regard to tipping, brings him his tea, slams it down, scribbles out a check and sails away. The man tastes the tea, finds that it is bitter from long brewing, slips out of his seat, pays the bill and hurries away from the shop. Now let us see how a woman buys a cup of tea. She marches into the shop with a little boy on one side of her and a little girl on the other. "I want a table for three," she says, in the manner of one about to order a dinner at ten gluineas a head. "Yes, madan," replies the meek attendant. "Will you kindly step this way." "Mummy," says the little boy, when at last the party is seated and the attendant is waiting to take the twopenny order, "mummy, why has that lady got a turned-upj nose?" "Want a scone," complains the little girl. "A pot of tea for one," orders "mummy," "and would you mind bringing an extra cup, so that my little girl can have some milk?" "One tea and one milk?" asks the attendant. "No, thank you. I thought I gave my order quite distinctly. I want a pot of tea for one and an extra cup. That's all." "Yes, madam," says the meek attendant, and drags herself away with the firm intention of becoming an actress, let the stage be what it may. "Just one moment," says "mummy," when the tea is brought. "I should like to make sure that this is not too strong. Yes, it is much too strong. Will you let me have a pitcher of hot water, please? And I don't think you have brought quite enough milk." Half an hour later she marches proudly from the shop, having paid exactly the same sum for these privileges as the wretched man who could not swallow a mouthful, and who sat in a draft. Gen. Grant's Joke. Secretary Taft, in discussing a certain hoax, said: "It reminds me of the story about Sir Richard Owen, the famous English scientist. A footman came to Pembroke lodge, Sir Richard's residence, one morning, with a large bone, wrapped in a cloth, and with a note from his master, Lord John Russell, asking if Sir Richard would please say what animal the bone belonged to. "It required but a glance from the scientist to convince him that the bone was nothing but a ham bone from an ordinary pig. He sent a message back to that effect, and, meeting Lord John the next day, said: "'Why on earth did you send me a pig's ham bone yesterday?'" "I'll tell you," said the other. 'General Grant, you know, is a great joker. He made me a present of what purported to be that rare delicacy, a grizzly bear's ham, but, as I had my doubts, I sent you the bone.' Out at Last. "Why do they call these dentists' of fice dental parlors?" asked Smith of his friend. "Why, parlor is an old-fashioned name from drawing-room." All that glitters can't be measured by the golden rule. 900 DROPS CASTORIA A Vegetable Preparation for Assimilating the Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of INFANTS & CHILDREN Promotes Digestion.

In the cities of Burma, where the natives have been long in contact with Europeans, says the author of "Burma, Painted and Described," they have lost some of their traditional politeness; but in the country districts old-school courtesy is still the custom. An English gentleman who had bought a new pony was trying him out on a Burman road, when the animal bolted, and ran at top speed down a narrow road. In the way ahead was a native cart, in which was a family party out holiday-making. The pony dashed into the back of the cart, threw his rider into the midst of the merrymakers, and severely injured the Burman who was driving. Before the Englishman had an opportunity to explain his unexpected onslaught the Burman picked himself up and bowed low. "My lord, my lord," he said, apologetically, "the cart should not have been there." Found He Was a Cannibal. A new arrival in the town entered a restaurant and ordered his dinner. He had just been served when a large, rotund person entered and seated himself at the same table, and finally reached over and helped himself to his neighbor's bread; seeing that the other man's boiled potato had not been touched he took that and ate it without removing the skin. A piece of chicken followed. By this time the waiter reappeared and handed the bill of fare to the newcomer. "Roast beef; roast pork. Which shall I take?" said he. "Well, I guess you can bring me roast beef, a double order." "Thank heaven," said the man opposite. "Eh? What did you say, sir?" "I said 'Thank Heaven' I was afraid you were a cannibal."—Pittsburgh Press. Reciprocity: "I declare," complained Mrs. Duzzit, "I shall certainly have to punish the children!" says a writer in Life. "What have they been up to now?" inquired her husband. "They have simply upset my sewing room. Nothing is where it should be. Needles, spools of thread, scissors, darning balls, everything I have has been poked away into the most unexpected corners. It is perfectly exasperating." Mr. Duzzit surveyed his wife with a benignant air. "That wasn't the children, dear," he said. "I did that." "What possessed you?" "It was kindness of heart. After you straightened up the papers and books on my desk so beautifully, I thought it was no more than right that I should return the compliment by putting your sewing room in order. So I did." The Books All Right The steamer was to leave in an hour, and Mrs. Lapsling was in a flurry of preparation. "Mother," asked one of the children, "where are the books we want to read while we're on the boat?" "Never mind the books," she said, with her mouth full of hairpins. "They're all packed in your father's esophagus." In Use. "Where's the boa constrictor forty feet long that you've got painted on the sign out in front?" demanded the visitor at the dime museum. "This is wash day, and we're using him for a clothes line," explained the Circassian beauty. How He Knew. Wedderly—That milliner of yours must be a bird. Mrs. Wedderly—Nonsense! She has neither wings nor feathers. Wedderly—Yes, but just look at this bill of hers. Slang Not All American. Is "fired out" an Americanism? This question is put by a London paper in discussing the use of the expression by the Vienna correspondent of the Times in connection with the dismissal of the American embassador to Austria-Hungary. Anything that seems slangy is generally stamped as an Americanism, but in this case, as in so many others of a similar nature, it is shown that the phrase can be found imbedded in the classics of the English language. "Fired out" an Americanism? Well, in one of Shakespeare's sonnets, as one of the London papers says, you may read: Yet this shall I never know, but live in Yet this shall I ne'er know, but live in doubt, Till my bad angel fire my good one out. An American school teacher—and this is another illustration that comes to mind—decided that his pupils should drop the word "say" because it was in elegant. The tendency to begin a remark or a question with "say" may certainly be overdone, but, as a bright pupil pointed out, if "say" is vulgar, how should we regard the use of it in the first line of "The Star-Spangled Banner"—Oh, say, can you see?"
