HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week Hearst may get; the mayoralty of New York. Idaho land fraud trials will begin soon at Moscow. An American consulate has been opened at Mukden. Cuban liberals are making trouble for Governor Magoon. All the provincial governors of the republic of Panama will meet Rosevelt. Russian terrorists dynamited a train, massacred the military guard, and secured $500,000. A small powder magazine 30 miles from Chicago exploded, breaking windows three miles distant. Four men were killed and the foundation laid for a lasting feud in Kentucky over the recent election. All British employees on the Panama canal will have a holiday to celebrate the birthday of King Edward. A whale ship has discovered an Eskimo band on Prince Edward island who had never seen a white man. A crazy Chilean who tried to gain admission to the White House some time ago has been arrested at Panama. Secretary Bonaparte says the strength shown by Hearst shows that the question must be dealt with "in a spirit at once liberal and conservative." u Taft is on a tour of inspection of rmy posts. President Roosevelt went to Oyster Bay and cast his vote, returning then to Washington. President Roosevelt has arranged to receive the Ute chiefs at the White House and hear their troubles. The Royal Hawaiian band, which has been making a tour of the United States, is stranded in Ogden, Utah. The president has dismissed in disgrace a whole battalion of negro troops for refusing to disclose the identity of some wrong doers among them, and will also court martial a white officer for making derogatory remarks against the negro troops. Navy yard employees were given leave of absence long enough to vote. Chicago switchmen will go on strike unless the railroads accede to their demands. It is probable that the authorities of Harvard will prohibit football after the present season. The Harriman lines are building wreck-proof steel mail cars to replace their present wooden cars. A native loosed the brakes on a car on the new railroad in Ecuador and the car dashed down a grade and killed seven persons. Thomas Kinsey, purser on the Atlantic liner St. Paul, has crossed the ocean 901 times, more than any other living man. He has sailed a total of 2,703,000 miles. Sailors who were debarred from dancing in an amusement hall at Newport, R. I., have begun suit against the proprietor. Roosevelt has contributed $100 to help their case. The heirs of the estate of Pabst, the Milwaukee brewer, will have to pay the inheritance tax on $4,000,000 stock in the Pabst Brewing company, transferred to them shortly before his death. Stensland and Hering, the wreckers of the Milwaukee Avenue bank, of Chicago, were today sentenced to indeterminate terms of imprisonment, which may run from one to ten years. This will not increase Stensland's present sentence. Peary says he is only returning for provisions and supplies. The Standard Oil compamy is openly fighting for control of the Illinois Central. Alice Roosevelt Longworth is making politics an important part of her social duties. Bodies exhumed in Mount Calvary cemetery, Portland, are found to be petrified. After three days' persistent hunting, President Roosevelt has finally bagged a wild turkey. It is expected that records of the San Francisco mint will disclose rank grafts in that institution. A big German-American insurance company has paid all its San Francisco fire losses and reorganized to continue in business. 1 President Roosevelt and Party Embark on Yacht Mayflower. Washington, Nov. 9.—"Goodbye, I am going down to see how the ditch is getting along," shouted President Roosevelt, who stood on the after starboard deck of the yacht Mayflower at the Washington navy yard, as the vessel was leaving the dock for his Panama trip. Accompanying the President were Mrs. Roosevelt and her maid; Surgeon-General Rixey, of the Navy, and M. C. Latta, one of the assistant secretaries at the White House. The Mayflower will take the party to Wolf Trap Light, at the mouth of the Rappahannock river in Chesapeake Bay, where a transfer will be made to the battleship Louisiana, which is to convey the President to and from the isthmus. The Louisiana will be conveyed to and from the isthmus by the armored cruisers Tennessee and Washington. Aboard the Louisiana Lieutenant Frank Evans, who will utilize the wireless telegraph apparatus, with which the ship is equipped, for communicating with the White House at Washington whenever the President deserves. The President will spend four days on the isthmus. He will arrive at Colon Thursday, November 15, where he is to be greeted aboard ship by President Amador, of Panama, and Mrs. Amador, Chairman Shonts and other officials of the Canal Commission. A considerable part of that day will be spent at La Boca and Ancon, the train making a slow run across the isthmus in order to give an opportunity to see the sights and make an examination of the work. At La Boca there is to be an inspection of the present terminals of the old French canal and the Panama railroad, following which there will be a trip to nearby islands, where the President is to be shown the proposed actual Pacific end of the canal in deep water and its approaches. In the afternoon there is to be a sightseeing trip around Ancon Proclamation Signed By President for New Area of 7,406,556 Acres. Washington, Nov. 9. — President Roosevelt, before leaving for Panama, signed a proclamation creating four new forest reserves in Idaho, and enlarging two others, adding to the reserve area of the state 7,406,556 acres. He created every reserve recommended by the Forest Service, including the Shoshone reserve in Northern Idaho, which was so vigorously fought by Senator Heyburn. Creation of these reserves exemplifies the administration's disregard of Heyburn's protest and leaves Heyburn nothing more to fight for. Great Coeur d'Alene Reserve. The Shoshone reserve is created in conjunction with the Coeur d'Alene reserve, adjoining it on the north, and two others to be known as the Coeur d'Alene reserve. Their aggregate area is 2,250,000 acres. They lie in Shoshone and Kootenai counties, extending northward to the middle of Lake Bend d'Oreille. In creating these various reserves it is stated that all their natural resources will be available for use and development, but they will be administered by the Forest Service, placed under the protective system and timber cutting will be restricted to mature timber. The Coeur d'Alene reserve is the largest of the Loch, Loomi and Kootenai. The Lemhi reserve, next in size, embraces 1,346,460 acres in Lemhi and Custer counties. This reserve consists of three narrow strips of land running northwest and southeast adjoining the Montana boundary. Inumerable streams that empty into the Lemhi river head in this territory. In extreme Northeastern Idaho, on the British Columbia and Montana lines, 165,240 acres have been reserved, forming but a small segment of the larger Kootenal reserve in Montana. Like the Lemhi this reserve lies on the west slope of the Rocky Mountains. Great Tract on Salmon River. The Salmon River reserve in Lemhi and Custer counties embraces 2,201-120 acres. It comprises a solid block of mountainous country lying between the Salmon River and the middle fork of the Salmon river. Louisiana and Georgia counties 291-976 acres have been set apart as the Raft River reserve, embracing many tributaries of Raft River and Deep creek. Numerous additions are made to the Sawtooth reserve, their aggregate area being 1,371,760 acres. These additions are made at various points along the present boundary. Chicago, Nov. 9.—Prompted by the congestion of traffic and the car shortage for this year, the Harriman lines are making purchases of freight equipment for 1907 on a grand scale. It was announced yesterday that they now have orders in for $21,000,000 worth of refrigerator, box, flat and gondola cars, all of which it is expected will be delivered before the season of heavy traffic next year. The total number of freight cars ordered but not yet delivered is 16,600. Of these 6,600 are refrigerator cars. These will be of the most modern type. No More Gambling in Panama. Panama, Nov. 9. The National Association ammunically threw a bill prohibiting gambling in the republic. It will not be signed by President Amador and gambling on the isthmus will become a thing of the past. Gambling is already absolutely prohibited in the canal zone. New Age OFF FOR THE ISTHMUS. MORE FOREST RESERVE. Freight Cars By the Thousand. TWO BRIDGES GONE Disastrous Floods in Willamette Valley Streams. RESULT OF CONTINUOUS RAINS Main Line of Southern Pacific Blockaded—Santiam and Clackamas Raging Torrents. Portland, Nov. 8.—Floods in the Santiam and Mollala rivers, caused by the recent rains, have washed away two Southern Pacific bridges and rendered another unsafe. The main line of the Southern Pacific is effectually blockaded, perhaps for weeks. The bridge across the Santiam at Jefferson was carried away last night, blocking the main line. The South Santiam bridge on the Woodburn-Natron branch was washed out yesterday. The Mollala bridge is so shaky that it will not permit the passage of trains. The bridge of the O. W. P. across the Clackamas near Oregon City is unsafe. Other damage has been caused and at a late hour last night the streams continued to rise. Passenger trains to California and the Upper Willamette valley are being routed over the West Side division of the Southern Pacific on Corvallis and over the Corvallis & Eastern tracks to Albany, beyond which place the Southern Pacific's line is reported clear. Freight is refused at Portland for points north of Albany on the East Side. Local passengers and freight service will be maintained between the wrecked bridges. The Overland leaving Portland yesterday morning had a narrow escape from a disastrous wreck. A scant half hour after the train crossed the bridge 100 feet of the falsework supporting the structure was swept away. The river continued to rise rapidly and last night the remaining falsework went out, allowing the 205-foot steel span of the new bridge in process of erection to fall into the raging river. The Santiam-bridge has been undergoing reconstruction for some time and falsework had been built to support the weight of trains while the old wooden structure was being replaced with a new steel bridge. Had the new bridge been in or the old one left intact no damage would probably have occurred. The Overland train, due in Portland last night, was diverted from the main line at Albany and this arrangement will be continued until damage is repaired. Passenger trains will be operated locally between Portland and Jefferson. A wrecking crew was put to work at the bridge yesterday and an attempt made to save it from going out, but the Santiam, swollen by the heavy rains of the past few days, continued to rise rapidly. At a late hour last night it was reported as rising six inches an hour. The flood also disabled the Southern Pacific bridge on the Woodburn-Nation line, and caused heavy damage to sawmill men by the breaking of booms. Quantities of cord wood belonging to the Lebanon paper mills were also washed away. Reports from Jefferson indicate that much more damage will be done before the flood subsides. THE NEXT CONGRESS Chicago, Nov. 8. —Returns received up to 1 o'clock this morning show that the Republicans have elected 223 Congressmen and the Democrats 163, as follows: State Rep. Dem. Alabama 9 Arkansas 7 California 8 Colorado 3 Connecticut 5 Delaware 1 Florida 3 Georgia 11 Idaho 1 Illinois 19 Indiana 9 Iowa 10 Kansas 8 Kentucky 4 Louisiana 7 Maine 4 Maryland 3 Massachusetts 11 Michigan 12 Minnesota 8 Mississippi 8 Missouri 4 12 Montana 1 Nebraska 5 1 Nevada 1 New Hampshire 2 New Jersey 6 4 New York 25 12 North Carolina 10 North Dakota 2 Ohio 17 4 Oregon 2 Pennsylvania 26 6 Rhode Island 1 1 South Carolina 7 South Dakota 2 Tennessee 2 8 Texas 16 Utah 1 Vermont 2 Virginia 1 9 Washington 3 West Virginia 5 Wisconsin 9 2 Wyoming 1 Washington, Nov. 8.—The President today made an order which will bring all employees of the Internal Revenue Service under the Civil Service. NO. 29. Bourne Should Not Be Elected U. S. Senator The New Age has said before and it now says again that it does not believe that the next legislature will elect J. Bourne, Jr., to the United States senate. It has been said that our opposition to Mr. Bourne is inspired by prejudice, and that we can give no good reason for opposing him since he was regularly named by the republican voters for the office. We opposed Mr. Bourne during the primaries for the reason that we knew him to be unfit for the high office to which he aspired. First—That he is not a loyal and consistent republican. Second—That he is a traitor and political black-leg. Third—That he could not be depended upon to support Roosevelt. ed upon to support Roosevelt. If he had been a loyal and consistent republican he would not have deserted his party in the hour of its dire distress, when the blight of Bryanism and populism overshadowed the country in 1906. But as a true and loyal republican would have put self aside and rendered whatever service he could for his party and his republican friends. If Bourne's will had prevailed and Bryan had been elected who can say that there would have been today a strong, invincible republican party in Oregon to honor him for his perfidy. The legislative session of 1895 was the most spectacular in the history of Oregon and the King Pin of that session was J. Bourne Jr., whose malodorous record is even yet a stench in the nostrils of decent people. With a goodly supply of money and other corrupting influences the trick of thwarting the will of the people and debauching the honor of the citizenry was the special mission of this political montebank, who, now, ten short years afterward, has the brazen affrontery to seek this high and honorable position at the hands of the party, whose murder he conspired to bring about. In the light of the past record of Mr. Bourne, who is so unsuspecting as to trust him in the future? Does anyone who knows him, save his hired henchmen, think for a minute that he can be depended upon to stand up for republican principles and policies in the United States senate, and to uphold the hands of life-long, true and tried republican leaders in that body, and to "stand pat" with the party's matchless leader, mose profound stateman, patriot and humanitarian since the days of Lincoln—Theodore Roosevelt. The fruit trust is now being accused of squeezing the public like a lemon. Meanwhile there are a lot of people who could help by simplifying their own signatures. Naturally, educated persons are provoked by an attempt to make them unlearn their spelling. In Russia they arrested a man with a pumpkin full of cartridges. Another revolution squashed. A dentist's union is now being formed. Will it deny to non-unionists the privilege of wearing false teeth? "Mark Twain" pleads for the adoption of "simplified" spelling. Mark is still America's greatest humorist. John D. Rockefeller has had a tooth pulled, but what the country is waiting for is to see him get his leg pulled. Since hazing has been stopped at West Point the demand for tabasco sauce must have greatly decreased. The Connecticut Democrats seem to have been able to hold their convention without offering a nutmeg to Mr. Bryan. Aberdeen University has conferred the degree of LL. D. on Andrew Carnegie. When did Andrew give Aberdeen a library? An American millionaire is reported to have paid $40,000 for a Titian. These would be halcyon days for the old masters if they weren't dead. San Francisco people are talking of holding a world's fair in that city in 1913. Evidently the San Franciscans are neither discouraged nor superstitious. Sir Oliver Lodge says the sun will be cold in 20,000,000 years from now. Sir Oliver probably doesn't think Providence is working overtime in the interests of the coal trust. Emperor William says he would come to this country if he were not kept so busy at home. Considering the way the emperor works, it is surprising that he doesn't strike for a raise of pay. After revolution has flourished for a hundred years in Cuba, it is rather too much to expect that the pastime should be suddenly given up with no other popular diversion to take its place. A Chicago scientist has discovered that a man who accumulates money as Rockefeller has done is aided by gnomes, sylphs, undines and salamanders. This will make lots of people satisfied to stay poor. The Standard Oil Company is going to increase its capital $400,000,000, giving the new stock to the old shareholders as a bonus. This may be a cunning scheme to keep Ida Tarbell from buying her way in. Russian terrorists have condemned Premier Stolypin to death. It will be hard for ex-President Palma of Cuba to understand how they can get anybody to hold office in Russia for any amount of money or glory. The prejudice against the uniform, when it takes the form of refusing its wearers admission to public places of amusement, whether or not it may be justified by experience, is a bad thing for the navy. It is difficult enough now to secure enlistments for that service. It will be still more difficult if it becomes widely known that wearers of the uniform are subject to hostile social discrimination on shore. Self-respecting young men of the shops and farms, conscious of such proscription, will shun the service. Under both English and American law every man is presumed innocent until he has been proved to be guilty, but under old English law when he has once had a trial in a court of competent jurisdiction and has been convicted this presumption is reversed! it is presumed that he has been justly tried and justly convicted. If he questions the justice of his conviction and carries that question up to a superior tribunal, the presumptions are against him and in favor of the tribunal. It is not, therefore, sufficient for him to show that some error has been committed on the trial; he must also make it appear to the satisfaction of the appellate tribunal that this error has been prejudicial to him and really affects the justice of his condemnation. If we may accept the expert opinion of the famous son of a famous father, pulpit eloquence has suffered a decline. According to Rev. Thomas Spurgeon, son of the late Rev. C. H. Spurgeon, the sermon of to-day is no longer the power it was. It is possible the modern sermon may be couched in equally forcible language, but its influence cannot be compared with that wielded by the exhortations of a generation or more ago. The pastor to-day faces a very different audience, an audience that is at once critical and largely unimpressionable. It doesn't ask for rhapsodies, it is impervious to warning lessons, it refuses to have its feelings harrowed up. This was not the con- gregation the old-time giants of the pulpit faced. They were not handcapped by such considerations as temper the eloquent flight of the preacher of to-day. The publication by a London news paper of scores of letters on "Grumbling husbands" draws out scores of other letters on "Nagging Wives." The husband who sulks or swears at the breakfast table, the wife who overcooks the mutton and undercooks the potatoes, the woman who is extravagant and silly, and the man who is stingy and exacting, fill the printed columns with their unlovely faces; but no one seems much the happier for the discussion. The truth lies deeper than any single experience is likely to dive. But good cooking on the part of the wife and cheerful paying of bills on the part of the husband, economy and generosity each in its place, tact in the training of children, success in earning a good income, and a thousand circumstances like these will not insure domestic happiness. Even Love, the magician, cannot do that, although he promises blithely to do so. Skill in the art of living is the essential for a happy home—and it must be possessed by both husband and wife, even though in varying amounts. It is exactly like skill in playing the piano or running a complicated machine—to be acquired by practice, and to be preserved by practice. An irritable word, unregretted, or a glum silence is an offense against the art. Unselfishness is the very root of it. Courtesy is its fair blossom. The woman who has skill in the art of living would as soon think of a drove of swine loose in her dainty home as of letting out there a black herd of reproaches and criminals. The husband would bring thieves and outlaws under his roof as soon as fault-findings and exactions. In any large view of life these fawns in its most intimate relations take on their true hideousness. Neither a cooking school nor a college course can cure the disease of which they are the symptoms. That can be cured only by a heart-stirring realization of that divine order by which tides and stars and systems move in their appointed courses, and by which discord and contention meet their appointed end of misery and wreck. Every physician knows that we may increase bodily suffering and even engender the very diseases we most dread by continually dwelling upon our bodily condition. On the other hand, we may augment our health-power by expelling discordant thought or any other enemy of health and happiness from the mind, as one would eject a thief from his house. The mental conditions that govern success are precisely the same as those that govern health and happiness. Success is largely a creation of the mind. If we would succeed we must frame the mind for success. Our thoughts must be of success, not failure. A stream cannot rise higher than its source, and even a Raphael could not paint the face of Christ with Satan in his mind for a model. If we have dwelt upon the dark side and lived in the shadows, the brain is incapable of producing bright, helpful mental pictures. How can one expect to find success and happiness when one is going in the opposite direction, constantly feeding the mind with visions of disaster and failure? The mainship of all effective effort is hope. If hope is strangled by gloomy forebodings there is no incentive left. You can anticipate failure and disaster so long that your brain is absolutely incapable of giving anything but morbid thoughts. You increase discord by admitting its reality, just as you increase happiness by dwelling upon the things which make you happy. So by dwelling upon and anticipating failure you invite it and cause success to fly from you. If we persistently shut out every thought that discourages or depresses, and keep the mind in a bright, healthy, keen condition, then the brain cells will be clear to think and plan and the body strong, active and able to carry out the brain's dictates. The mind that is unclouded by the cobwebs of fear and expected failure and quick to seize upon every passing opportunity or advantage, will open the door to success. Indeed, the possession of such a spirit as this is success itself. No material treasures that any man may acquire can compare with the treasures of a hopeful, healthful mind. No Smoking In Street No smoking in street. No smoking was allowed in the streets or parks of Berlin before May 23, 1832, and offenders were punished by a fine for the first infraction of the rule and by imprisonment afterwards. The King of Prussia in those days detested smoking, and the police and military men were under strict orders to arrest anyone who smoked in public. It is recorded that when Napoleon occupied Berlin a hundred years ago the Berliners eagerly took advantage of the opportunity to smoke, and took a special delight in puffing smoke in the faces of the police, who then had no power to arrest them. In 1832, however, the restriction was withdrawn. He Klicked Straight Out. Tom—My! but old Gotrox was mad when I told him I was going to marry his daughter. Dick—Kicked like a mule, eh? Tom—No, I wish he had. A mule only kicks backward, I believe—Catholic Standard Times. "No, but her husband will."—Houston Post.

A new pen has recently come upon ‘the market In Europe for which con- siderable success Is predicted. These pean are made of tantalum in substitu- ‘tion for steel. ‘They are more flexible than gold pens and more durable than those of steel, since they resist corro- sion, and can with difficulty be spotted with ink. At the same time thelr points are exceedingly hard. A new speed Indicator for trains Is a German suggestion. A dynamo driven by the axle of the locomotive would show an increase In voltage corre- sponding to the number of revolutions, and a voltmeter with two dials could be made to indicate both the potential of the dynamo and the corresponding rate per hour of the locomotive. An attachment could be added to give a continuous record of the speed. Sea snakes are very plentiful in the south Paeifle. They are widely dis- tributed, stray individuals having been secured on the coast of New Zealand. When swimming close to: the surface they exactly resemble an ordinary snake, except that “the head 1s always below water. At night they come ashore and lle among the rocks. They feed on fish, and al- though their small double fangs appear harmiless they are reported to be very venomous. Travelers have noticed that Damas- cus blades are made only when the wind 1s from the north. The exper!- ments of M. Anozoff were suggested by this hint, and have consisted In hardening steel Instruments by cooling them in a powerful current of com- pressed air instead of quenching In water. The trials Indicate that for very sharp tools this method Is su- perlor to any other. ‘The effect varies with the thickness of the mass to be hardened, and increases with _ the coldness of the alr and the rapidity of the stream. ‘The chemtcal synthesis of our food must remain a dream for the present, we are told by Prof. T. Bokorny, a German chemist. With the ald of sun- light, plants form carbohydrates from carbone acld or formaldehyde or methyl ‘alcohol, and in ke _ manner sugars or carbohydrates have been pro- duced In the laboratory by agitating formaldehyde with excess of hydrate of lime. ‘The artificial process, how- ever, cannot yield cane sugar to retail at five or six cents a pound, while Emil Fischer's albumenolds cost many times as much as the natural products. Some curious researches have re- cently been made by French army sur- geons on the relationship between good eyesight and good target practice. At first glance one would say that the two things must Invarlably depend the one upon the other. But the facts lead to a different conclusion. At least, they show that one may have very defective eyesight and yet be a very accurate marksman, Astigmatism, myopla and other defects of vision may exist In a marked degree without destroying the ability to alm and shoot straight. In the French and German armies soldiers are permitted to shoot from the right or the left shoulder, according to thelr own preference, which Is often guided by the superiority of one eye over the other. Accuracy of judgment counts for as much as acuteness of vision with the good marksman, ‘Tribute to a Bull Dog. I would very much like to add a few remarks upon the loveliness of that horrid bulldog, says a writer tn the New York Times. My dog was a yellow and white coated animal, with the wet, pink mouth, with little black spots up- on the pink. He was the most faithful brute I ever knew; ugly as could be to his own kind; was disfigured with scars from fierce battles. To me he was a gentleman. He had the misfortune to have one of his toes nearly severed from one of his hind ‘paws from cqm- Ing too close to a mowing machine, I covered it with an ointment and sewed the paw up In an old kid glove. Every other day I would remove the bandage and place the foot in a dish af warm bicarbonate of soda water. When cleansed and taken ont of the water I would rebandage it again. He would turn, as wise as he could be, look at it and put his wet mouth up to my cheek and lick my face and hand. Grat- itude was in his great eyes. He would fuard me all day long. When night came I would invite him Into the cat- tage and make a bed of _straw-filled pillows upon the floor and after rub- bing his chewed-up ears he would, lick my hand and ~heek and we would part for the night. How safe I felt in that lonely spot, which was only a byroad In an Indian reservation section of caun- try. ‘Sines wae, “No woman can succeed in being en- tirely ungraceful,” “Not Did you ever see one trying ta button her waist up the back ?"—Hous- ton Post. | ‘The Continuous Life. ‘Venus—And what do you do when not engaged in archery?

SUBSCRIPTION. One Year, payable in advance.....$ 2.00 COLORED MEN ELECTED. While in the South Negroes are by most white people not considered fit to vote, much less to hold office, there are communities in the North that are not afraid or ashamed to recognize colored men as men, citizens and political brethren. In Milwaukee, Wis., a colored man was elected Tuesday a member of the legislature, and in Chicago two colored men were elected municipal judge and county commissioner respectively, and nobody doubts that they will probably perform the duties of their offices quite as well at least, as the average white office holder. This is no more than equity and justice in any community where there is a large number of colored voters and they almost universally vote the Republican ticket. In many cases by voting as solidly the other way they could defeat Republican candidates, and the party owes them recognition commensurate with their power and loyalty. In Portland there are several hundred colored voters and several hundred more in the state outside of Portland, and it would be no more than fair and just, after another apportionment is made and Multnomah county's number of representatives in the legislature is increased, to nominate some good responsible colored man as one of them. Their votes fairly entitle them to this honor. Several Republican papers of Oregon have had the courage to come out plainly against the election of Jonathan Bourne next winter, among them the Woodburn Independent, the Dallas Observer, the Roseburg Spokesman; The Dalles Optimist, and one or two other papers in Southern Oregon. The Dalles Optimist is the most outspoken and aggressive and gives the most and plainest reasons and makes the most caustic comments in part as follows: It is the system we are after. From the gist of the newspaper clippings before us Bourne is a noble, holy, good man. He was investigated during the last campaign, for some evil people tried to show that once upon a time he tried to corrupt the Oregon legislators, but it was all a lie! What he did was to hire apartments in Salem and hold therein prayer meetings, mornings, afternoons and evenings, and to these meetings the members were invited, much to their edification and the good of their souls. And all of the money he spent aside from these functions was given to the Young's Men's Christian Association and the Salvation Army. Not a cent of it was spent corruptly, not a cent, for the witnesses all swore positively to that effect. And the coming winter? Will Jonathan be on hand working and praying with the Y. M. C. A. and the Salvation Army lassies? Sure! Will be set up a free lunch and "buy wine?" Never! Never! Is the direct primary law such a holy institution? Is it a law entitled to our full support and respect so far as it relates to the election of members of congress and state officers? After pointing out various absurd situations that might occur, such as the death, indictment or imprisonment of a man "elected," in June, the Optimist says: And let us suppose the electors last June had "elected" Gearin; would any sane man expect the coming legislature to elect him, a Democrat, with only seven Democrats in the house and senate, and 83 Republicans? Or if by some chance the Democrats should carry the legislature and the Republican, Bourne for instance, should be "elected" by the people; is any man damphool enough to say the Democrats would ratify "the people's choice" and send Bourne to the United States Senate? What a crazy patch-work of a law it is to be sure! There seems to be but one air-tight provision about it, and that is that Mukley and Bourne are to be sent to the senate, or a lot of legislators will be killed! Bosh and nonsense! The constitution of the United States is a higher law than our crazy-quilt measure, and the constitution says how senators are to be elected. The people of Oregon are not all fools, and lots of them hope and expect to see the legislators next winter exercise their prerogative and elect the man of their choice. And there will be no funerals! Now aspirants for city offices will prepare to get busy after the holidays. Roosevelt is still stronger than his party, and that isn't weak or small. The Southern Pacific keeps talking about moving, but it should be made to move. A WARNING. Ranting, roaring Willie Hearst could not win in New York, but he came a good deal nearer winning than it was generally supposed was possible, and he gave the Republicans a good and wholesome scare. If they had not taken President Roosevelt's advice and nominated Hughes; if instead they had nominated some Republican identified with the trusts and plundering public service corporations, Hearst would have won. There is in this election as well as in some other results throughout the country, a warning to Republicans that they must dissever their supposed or apparent partnership wit hthe trusts, and must "make good" as real servants of the people generally. Except for the example and efforts of President Roosevelt, not only New York would have gone Democratic, but the Democrats would undoubtedly have elected a majority of the next house of representatives. As it was they gained a considerable number, which is usual in a mid-administration year, but the people's inclination to support Roosevelt prevented a slump disastrous to the party. As it is, the Republicans will have an ample working majority in the house, and Hearst has been effectually downed as an aspirant for high public position. THE DEMOCRATS. The New Age rather likes its friends the Democrats, individually and collectively, except as a political party, which may seem a contradictory remark, but we will try to explain. Personally most of them are very good, agreeable, worthy men and one can not help liking them in that way. And politically, while as a party they are usually mistaken, or impracticable, or visionary, and if they do get started on the right track in any direction, they invariably get into a row and go to fighting one another, and while they are thus as a party incompetent and impossible, all like them on account of their optimism, their cheerfulness, their never-say-die-edness. No matter how hard or often they are beaten, they can see in defeat sure signs of victory the next time, and go right on planning for future victories when they haven't one chance out of a thousand to win, so far as present prospects are concerned, in a thousand years. They never give up. They are never more than momentarily discouraged. They are always hopeful, cheerful and toward the end of a campaign and up till the votes are counted even confident. It is refreshing, encouraging to contemplate men with such optimism, such a fund of faith, and this is why we like the Democrats. Some of the people who helped elect Hughes don't like him. The fight for President of the Senate promises to be a lively one. Maybe Multnomah will get neither President nor Speaker. Bourne will be too bitter a pill for many members to swallow. Not everybody will welcome Heney back. Lots of work for Legislators next winter. Well what is the council going to do about that Fourth street railroad nuisance? Now Bryan comes to the front again. But he will not be elected president in 1908, if ever. The more members of the Legislature think about it the less inclined they are to vote for Bourne. Should not the colored voters of Portland ask for a place on the next county ticket? It is believed that Manning would make a strong run for mayor. Everett Market, (E. L.

Iron Pillars, Granite Shafts and Earth Mounds in Wichita New York—Republican Gov Nearly all the boundaries of the United States are formed by the easy, irregular lines of waterways. The artificial marking of a country the size of this would seem a gigantic task, and fortunately it was not necessary all the way around. Along the northwestern border, however, there is a vast distance where something of the sort was required, although it is doubtful if many persons have ever heard of it. A glance at the map of the United States shows that its boundary adjoining Canada follows, the larger part of the distance, an irregular water-line formed by the Great Lakes and their outlets. Thence from the Lake of the Woods, on the north of Minnesota, a more direct course is taken through the wilderness and over the mountains of the wild West to the Pacific coast. This boundary between the countries is marked at regular intervals by pillars of wood and iron, earth mounds, or stone cairns. Beginning at the Lake of the Woods, cast iron pillars have been placed alternately by the English and our government, one mile apart, until reaching the Red Valley River. Those set by our neighbor were brought from over the ocean, while ours were made in Detroit. They are a hollow casting of a pyramid form, eight feet in height, having a base eight inches square and octagon flange one inch in thickness, with a top four inches square, surmounted by a solid cap. Into these hollow posts are fitted well-seasoned cedar joists, with spikes driven through apertures made for that purpose in the casting. One-half of the length of the pillars are firmly imbedded in the ground, so that the inscriptions on their sides, in raised letters two inches high, face the north and south, the first reading, "Convention of London," the latter "October 20th, 1818." Beyond the Red River, earth mounds and stone calrins, seven feet by eight, generally denote the boundary line. Whenever wooden posts are used, they are of the same height as the iron pillars and painted red above the ground. Through forests a clearing has been made a rod wide, so that the course is plainly indicated. Where bodies of water are crossed, monuments of stone have been raised several feet above high tide. Over the mountains, shafts of granite, like grim sentinels, guard the way. Altogether the fixing of the boundary marks was expensive, but it was well done. SCHOOL STUDIES. A B C D E F G H A B C D E F G H This is YOU, as you looked about 35 years ago. Study the picture and you will recognize earmarks till you can't rest. You had a feeling each day of doom to come. You knew that your lessons were not prepared, and about half the time you didn't know how to prepare them. Didn't have no good-looking teachers smelling of perfume coming around to help backward pupils in those days. No, sir. The teacher was built on Jim Jeffries lines, and he ruled with a club. And finally it came to you to read some of that dope where the words are chopped up with hyphens, and you stuttered and stumbled and halted, and, just as like as not, got a wallop over the crazy bone for your stupidity. Ah, those were the happy days—NOT. But it is fun to remember and to look at ourselves as we were then—Cincinnati Post. A Thoughtful Employer At the luncheon that followed the launching of the Nebraska at Seattle, Miss Mary Hickey told a native story of her father, who is Nebraska's governor, says the New York Tribune. "One evening my father," she said, dictated some of his correspondence to me. There was one letter that struck me. It was to an employee of my father's. It inclosed a railway ticket, and it said: "You ask me for a ticket for your mother-in-law, who is about to visit you. The ticket is within. You will notice that I did not forget to send an excursion ticket, and that the return coupon is limited to three days." One "Yes, it's just as I say, and some of these days you'll admit that the advice your wife gave you was the best advice you ever got, and—" "I wish you were very well." Not Hopeless. She—Do you think love is blind? He—Yes; but matrimony removes the cataracts—Detroit Free Press. Vadsworth, of New York, and Babcock of Wisconsin, defeated for Congress. Democrats Are Hopeful. San Francisco, Nov. 6.—Timothy Spellacy, chairman of the Democratic State Central committee, said tonight: "We don't concede Gillett's election. Although the opponents are meager, it looks good for Bell. If we concede to the Techapi mountains with her 7,000 plurality, as claimed by the Republican, Bell has been elected. We concede San Francisco to Gillett by 600. Reports from several sources indicate a close vote in Los Angeles Spellacy ridiculed the Republican claims of 15,000 plurality for Gillett in Los Angees. Telegraphs Ohio Victory Columbus, O., Nov. 7.—At 1 o'clock this morning Senator Dick, chairman of the State Republican committee, sent the following telegram to President Roosevelt and to the chairman of the Congressional committee: "Ohio Republican by not less than 75,000 and elects 17 Republican Congressmen, three Democrats, with one district in doubt." Chairman Garber, of the Democratic committee, still refuses verbally to concede the election of the Republican ticket, the nearest to the being a statement that the Republican plurality would not exceed 25,000. Gooding Loses Home County. Boise, Nov. 7.—Scattering returns indicate that a landslide has overtaken the head of the Republican ticket in the north and central portions of the state. This (Ada) county has gone against Governor Gooding by a majority of a few hundred. Kootenal and Latha counties in the north are claimed by the Democrats to be against Gooding, while Washington Elmore, Boise, and other central counties appear to have gone the same way. R. C.

The reception will be held Monday evening from 8:30 to 10:30 in the vestry of the church. 13th and Main streets. The latest decision of the Civil Service and Police Commission in this city is that the acceptance of employment as janitor or porter in a saloon disqualifies a colored man from being eligible to a position on the force. Will the same rule hold good in reference to a white plumber, painter or carpenter, who accepts work in fixing up or repairing premises occupied by saloons. Shut out by the unions, who refuse to admit him to membership from securing more lucrative employment, the fact that he accepts menial labor rather than steal or starve, in the eyes of our Democratic commissioners counts against him. Verily where an excuse is wanted, it is not hard to find one. Mrs. Clara Newman, who went as a delegate to the Oregon and California Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Zion church which met in Los Angeles returned home last week after a month's absence spent in attendance on the conference and visiting friends and relatives in Oakland, Cal. She reports a very pleasant trip. On Sunday evening last she made a report of the doings of the conference, together with impressions from the same, which was not only instructive but extremely interesting and one that should encourage the membership in this place to renewed activity during the ensuing year. She stated that there was a great demand from other fields for our pastor and great pressure had to be exerted to enable us to retain him another year Among those reported on the sick list this week are Chas, Chambers, Sim Reddy and W. H. Carter of the Hotel Portland, also Mrs. Mary Carr one of our pioneer citizens, all suffering in a slight degree from a sort of influenza. We notice that some of our white brothers are making a great howl over the report that a number of colored men intend to start an Elks Lodge here in the near future. Personally, we are not in favor of such a move as there are, we believe, enough lodges among the colored people at present to fill any legitimate need and as far as we can learn, there is nothing so great to be derived from following the principles of Elkdom, more than other older established orders already provide and gives our enemies another example to cite when they say that the colored man is only imitative and not original. Still we feel that their howl shows that it makes all the difference in the world whose ox is gored. We will only pause to cite an intance not so far back, but that many now living remember. The I. O. O. F. drew away from the G. U. O. F. in the early fifties because the G. U. O. F. recognized and permitted colored men to join their order and instead of adopting new emblems, etc., changed the first letter of the initials seeking for their order omitting the G. U. and adopting the I in stead and in the early days laying no stakes on any part of their title except that they were "Odd Fellows." Truly "those that are without sin ought to eat the first stone."

New Pekin Owned By Robert T. Motts of Chicago. (From the Chicago Examiner and American, October 7.) Tomorrow night Chicago will have the only endowed theater in the United States, but for more than a year it has had another distinction in the theatrical world equally unique if not quite so interesting. The only theater in the country—probably the only regular playhouse in the world—owned, managed and conducted by colored people, presenting with a stock company of colored artists, original musical comedies, farces and plays written and composed by colored men, is in this city. There may be a score of concert halls and stages in the back rooms of saloons conducted by colored men in various parts of the country—they do not count. This Chicago theater—the New Pekin—is a complete and respectable theater, with an executive staff of eighteen, including everything from manager to house physician—the latter being an innovation that more pretentious amusement places have not yet introduced. While the majority of its patrons are colored people—it is located in the heart of the city where the population predominate—the there is seldom a perimeter that is not witnessed by a score or more of white people—men and women who come in automobiles, sit in boxes and applaud the light-hearted singers and dancers. Robert T. Motts is responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the only colored people's theater in the United States. It was his idea and it was his money that went into the enterprise. Now the money has begun flowing back to him in such a steady stream that he long ago ceased to worry. "Bob" Motts, as he is known in South State street, has long been a leader among the colored people in that part of Chicago. Although he is a saloon keeper, he has a clean record and has won his way to popularity among his race by his care of their interests in various ways. If Motts could collect all at once the "halves" and "bones" and $5 bills bills that he has passed over his bar to the needy or slipped through his side door to colored women whose little broods of pickaninnies were hungry, he could build a handsome addition to his theater. When the craze for "ragtime" brought to the professional stage scores of colored singers and dancers who toured the country year after year and made wads of money for their managers, Motts began to think. He knew how much talent was latent in his people, and he was assured that the Chicago colony held just as much of it in proportion as the country at large. He knew by experience that it was no trick at all to organize a company of comedians, singers and dancers and several promising musical composers had begun to come to the front among the colored population. The vogue of ragtime songs gave them encouragement—they found publishers eager to purchase and put out good melodies and ditties and from a deep consideration of all these facts. A comedian came to a conclusion. A coedent's theater, manned on both sides of the footlights by men and women of his race presenting the product of colored composers and librettists! The idea was novel, but it was good. How sound it was events have proved. The start was made in a small way in the hall connected with Mott's place at Twenty-second and State streets and "The Pekin" did not attract much attention outside of its immediate locality. The performers—singers, dancers and vaudeville actors—were good, and the colored people patronized the shows. It was a more pretentious establishment than the average "concert hall" conducted under similar conditions, and it began to grow in popularity. Then Mott grew ambitious. He remodeled the place, constructing a little bijon theater, complete in all the details, with a balcony and fires exits, red walls and all the other attributes of a regular playhouse. He organized a stock company of colored performers, installed a colored orchestra and boldly essayed the production of an original musical comedy written and composed by colored men "The Man from Bam." He advertised the theater in the amusement columns of the newspapers — "the only theater in America playing colored artists exclusively"— and people began to take notice. The very first production was a success. After the company had been weeded out a little Motts found he had a good stock organization and so did the public. Show followed show, all of them written by colored men, until now the theater is an established success and turns 'em away two or three nights every week. It has become quite a fad among automobilists and others on the South Slide to run in half an hour or so and watch the shows—which are uniformly good. "Twenty Minutes from State Street," a musical face presented last week, was written by J. Ed. Green, who rejoices in the title of "Director of Amusement," in the executive staff, and the music of most of the numbers was by Joe Jordan, director of the orchestra. Between them they got up most of the little three-act musical skits the company essays, and their work is well up to the average. "One Round of Pleasure" is announced for the near future, also from the busy pens of Green and Jordan, and when that has been passed they will have another ready. Not only has the Pekin thus developed its own librettist and composer, but the stock company has brought to the front its list of stars. Harrison Stewart is the principal comedian, and to the average patron of the theater he is half the show. J. Ed. Green, the playwright and director of amusement, is also a member of the company, and Jerry Mills doubles as stage manager and leading heavy. Rosa Lee Tyler and Lottie Grady are the prima donnas, and among other clever women performers are Leona Marshall, Sadie Citizen, Pearl Brown and May White. Nothing of a dramatic nature has yet been attempted—the patrons of the New Pekin would rather laugh than worry. Music, fun, singing and dancing, most of it of it a grade that measures up very favorably with that presented at other theaters, of the class and at the same prices, make up the shows. "We are just trying to do the best we can," says Motts, "and I hope we succeed in giving an entertainment along our own lines. I have been very much encouraged by the development of talent, both on the stage, among the writers and musicians—it means so much for our race to develop all that is in it."

Coos Bay Next: The impetus to the marvelous development of Coos Bay is hardly appreciated here by the uninformed observer in the S. P. Ry. extension under way from Drain and the prospective invasion of that vast resourceful region by other trans-continental railroads, notably the Gould system from Lander across the continent through Boise, which, with all of Western Idaho has been longingly looking for an outlet on Coos Bay. The recent opening of Meyer & Co.'s large department store in North Bend and the site purchased by Schultz Davis & Co., wholesale grocers, involving $5,000; then the 5-acre tract—water site from the Denatured Alcohol Plant, following closely upon the heels of the unusual sale of lots in Schaefer's Addition to Central Place, a location that is self-expressive for the central site of a future growing city, as well as Plats B and C, with their proposed mammoth hotel site, are all straws that show clearly which way the wind is blowing. The demand for freight and passenger transportation is increasing, new steamers being constantly impressed. Mr. L. J. Simpson, with Mr. Hewitt of Tacoma, are arranging the details for an electric line connecting the Bay towns together, which will involve $500,000 or more, and project, it is needless to say, will be consumed, as ample like Simpson do things. The next Legis commercial bodies down there to create a Port of Coos Bay Commission, for the buying of proper outfits to dredge the Bay to a uniform depth of 30 feet all of which will make Coos Bay a commercial pride, as the Coast City of Oregon, which will in time vie with our sister Coast cities of the Sound and Frisco. Mr. Geo. J. Schaefer, of 317 Chamber of Commerce, deserves much praise for his indefatigable and successful work at this end, having brought to the conspicuous notice of the public the merits of Coos Bay before it was confirmed by recent railroad and other development.

Washington, Nov. 9.—That the 12-inch gun now in use at most of the Coast fortifications of the United States would not last through an engagement of two hours, the period that would elapse from the time the leading vessel of a fleet would come within range until the last vessel would pass beyond the range of the guns, is the statement of Brigadier-General William Crozier, Chief of Ordnance, whose annual report was made public at the War Department today. Reading Road Raises Wages Reading Road Raises Wages. Philadelphia, Nov. 6.—The Philadelphia & Reading Railway Company announced today an increase of wages of 10 per cent to all employees whose salaries are less than $200 per month. TACOMA NOTES Mr. Bradshaw is improving slowly. Mr. Lester Hartsfield, of Seattle, was in our city last week visiting. Miss Myrtle Hall gave a birthday dinner at her home Sunday afternoon.

HUGHES FOR GOV- ERNOR OF NEW YORK Hearest Carries Most Cities, But Total Is Against Him. New York, Nov. 7.—According to returns received up to an early hour this morning, Charles E. Hughes, Republican candidate for Governor, has been elected by 50,000 or more plurality. Outside of Greater New York, with 160 election districts missing, Mr. Hughes has a plurality of about 124,000. In Greater New York with 69 election districts missing, W. R. Hearst, the Democratic and Independence League candidate, has a plurality of 75,036. Mr. Hearst carried all the boroughs of the greater city, despite the fact that the early returns seemed to indicate that he had lost Brooklyn. No definite figures are yet available as to the results with regard to the state officers, and both Democrats and Republicans are claiming victories from Lieutenant-Governor down. The indications are that the State Legislature will show little change in its political make-up. The Tammany judiciary ticket in New York County, with the exception of Otto Rosalsky for General Sessions Judge, Republican, has been elected. The judiciary nominators' ticket was defeated. State Chairman Max F. Ihmsen, of the Independence League, claims that Hearst has been elected. He sent out late last night telegrams to all Independence League watchers to be on guard to see that the vote was counted. New York, Nov. 6.—According to incomplete returns from all over the state received up to 10:30 p. m. Charles E. Hughes, the Republican candidate, has been elected Governor of New York state over William Randolph Hearst, the nominee of the Democratic party and the Independence League, by approximately a plurality of 40,000. Two years ago Governor Higgins was elected on the Republican ticket by 80,560. Some doubt was expressed tonight as to the fate of the Democratic and Independence League tickets outside of Mr. Hearst, several of the New York newspapers which have been supporting Mr. Hughes declaring that there was a chance for the subordinate officers of the Democratic and Independence League combination having been elected. The latest figures seems to indicate that Mr. Hughes' plurality above the Bronx exceeds 115,000. To offset this, Mr. Hearst's plurality in Greater New York will probably be from 75,000 to 80,000. In Brooklyn, where Senator Patrick H. McCarren made a bitter fight against Mr. Hearst, the latter carried the borough by a small plurality, probably 4,000. At one time it seemed that Hughes had been successful in Brooklyn, but the late returns were all strongly in favor of the Democratic candidate. Mr. Hearst has been given a majority of nearly 70,000 in Manhattan and the Bronx. Queens county, which includes Long Island City, has gone for Hearst by from 6,000 to 8,000, and Richmond, Staten Island, has also given the Democratic candidate a plurality. Boys Shot By Courtmartial. St. Petersburg, Nov. 9.—The Riga correspondent of the Bourse Gazette sends a harrowing description of the recent execution of three young boys, convicted by court-martial of robbery and condemned to death. The children were placed against a wall in the middle of the barracks, and pittable appearance inserved the troops that they fired wildly, and several volleys were necessary before the little fellows were finally killed. The City of Riga is greatly wrought up over the bloodthirsty justice. In California. San Francisco, Nov. 6.—From meager returns received from various sections of the state up to 10 p. m., Gillett, Republican, for Governor, is probably elected by about 10,000 majority, with Bell, Democrat and Union Labor, second, and Langdon, Independence League, third. Popular Science Modeling in breadcrumbs, which are soaked in liquids of various colors and are made elastic and almost unbreakable by a special process, is the curious new art of Suzanne Meyer, a French woman. The human breath has been found to be a fair conductor of electricity, a spark from a Winshurst machine being longer in breathed than in pure air. Investigating further, Dufour has concluded that the lung and skin exhalations sensibly increase the leakage from an electrically charged body, and it is suggested that the vapors rising above a flock of sheep or cattle may explain the tendency of lightning to strike the huddled animals. A novel charge is brought against the common bedbug (Climex lectularius) by Dr. W. J. Goodhue, medical superintendent of the Molokal leper settlement, who regards it as a chief agent in spreading leprosy. It is believed to have greater influence than the gnat for it comes noiselessly, and during the patient's sleep, and bedding among icpers is too little disinfected. After long research Dr. Goodhue has demonstrated the presence of the bacillus of leprosy in the mosquito (Culex pungens) as well as in the bedbug. An ingenious apparatus for drawing the profile of a river bottom is used by Italian engineers. It consists of a wheel affixed to the bottom of a graduated rod, which is fastened vertically at the side of a boat in such a manner that as the boat advances up or down or across stream, the wheel at the end of the rod runs continually upon the bottom, the rod rising and falling with variations of level. By noting the depth at chosen intervals of time, the elements are obtained for tracing an accurate representation of all the sinuosities of the bottom of the river, and the variations of depth. In the saving of time this simple apparatus possesses an enormous advantage over the ordinary method of soundings. Germany has for some time possessed a dozen factories for the liquefaction of carbonic acid gas issuing from the earth in the neighborhood of extinct volcanoes. Last summer a large factory of the same kind was opened near the Puy de Dome, a famous extinct volcano in central France. The liquid obtained by the condensation of these volcanic gases is said to be purer than that produced by solely chemical processes. From an excavation at Algeperse, near the Puy de Dome, the quantity of gas given forth every day is reckoned at about half a million liters. The place is known as the "polson fountain," and the bones of many animals have been found in the excavation, including those of a horse, a bison and a mammoth. According to Cosmos, the employment of circular disks of iron, turning with great velocity, but possessing no teeth on the edge, for sawing metal, has become common in many workshops. Among other places where such saws without teeth are used is the celebrated Krupp gun works, where armor plate is sometimes cut in this manner. The process is not a newly discovered one. As long ago as 1824 Darrier and Colladon, at Geneva, experimented with swiftly rotating disks of iron. They found that when a disk about seven inches in diameter turned with a peripheral velocity of ten meters per second, it could be cut with a steel tool pressed against it, but that when the velocity was increased to twenty-one meters per second the iron was unaffected, but the steel tool was damaged. At a velocity of sixty meters per second the iron disk even cut quartz and agate. IN GREAT OCEAN DEPTHS. Some Ravines and Plateaus of the Sea Have Been Explored. The greatest ocean depths are not in the Atlantic, as the veritable abysses are to be found on the other side of the globe. Close to New Zealand the water attains a depth of five and one-half miles in the Kermadec and Tonga ravines, which in themselves attain a depth of 29,530 feet, while they are separated from each other by a chain of mountains 9,850 feet in height. There is also the Aleutian ravine, which reaches a depth of 23,000 feet. Mostly subaqueous scenery is monotonous; there are no abrupt declivities or precipices; except in the vicinity of the coasts or near islands of volcanic formation, everything being rounded off and smoothed down by the action of the water. Close to the land there is somewhat more variety. The European plateau slopes gradually away down into the depths and a fair view can be obtained here, provided a maximum depth at 1,800 feet be not exceeded. At first abundant vegetation and animal life are met with, but below the depth mentioned the scene changes; first the light grows dimmer and dimmer and the deeper we descend the lower does the thermometer fall, except in the case of the Mediterranean, where the temperature is, relatively speaking, high, as this sea is contained in what is practically a closed basin. In the Atlantic the temperature of the water was taken for a depth of 10,686 feet. The surface temperature of 68 degrees fell to 38 degrees at a depth of 6,562 feet. After 6,562 feet the temperature falls, but slowly as greater depths are attained, the cold being practically uniform and not subject to any changes of season.—Scientific American.

Braver and better by far. And wisest he is in this whole wide land Of hoarding till bent and gray; For all you can hold in your cold, dead hand Is what you have Of hoarding till bent and gray; For all you can hold in your cold, dend hand. Is what you have given away." Peter Cooper, bad PETER COOPER. given away." Peter Cooper had not quite a year's schooling in the course of his lifetime anxious although he was for it, greedy even for knowledge. His people were oppressed by the most grinding poverty. His assistance was absolutely necessary to enable them to live on the barest necessities. The boy worked from his earliest childhood, not the work that children of this day and time are accustomed to, but toll that was fitted more for a man than a boy. Unselfish ever, the boy determined that if he were ever given the opportunity of being able to give the means he would found a school such as he would have desired to attend, a school for the children of poverty. How he worked to that end is a story of the nation. The result is the great Cooper Union of New York, one of the greatest institutions of the country in existence to-day. VICE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER-IN-LAW Miss Helen N. Scott, the Pittsburgh young woman who eloped with Frederick Cole Fairbanks, the youngest son of Vice President Fairbanks, is in her nineteenth year.

The young couple have been forgiven by the parents on both sides. The only objection to the marriage on the part of the parents was the youth of the pair. Moving in New York. An expressman who called at a New York boarding house for two trunks was asked by the landlady where they were going. "I don't know," he said. "You see, I do only half the hauling. I will take the things to our office and somebody else will take them the rest of the way. The boss at the desk will know the address. The moving is done on the installment plan to keep you folks here from finding out where the other people went. They were afraid to trust me with the number for fear you might worm it out of me, so they told it to nobody but the manager. Lots of people who move often make the trip in sections like that. Half the time when I take a trunk away from a boarding house I don't know where it will wind up. That is generally done where there has been a row and the folks who leave don't want to be followed. Been a little trouble here, I imagine," he added tentatively. "Yes," sighed the landlady, "a little."—Evening Wisconsin. A Monkey that Wears Glasses. In the zoological gardens at Breslau, Germany, there is a spider monkey which was operated on for cataract and now wears glasses. For more than a year after it was received at the zoo it was very healthy and lively; then it became very quiet, ceased to play and crouched in a corner. It was examined and found to be suffering from cataract, so it was immediately taken to the eye hospital and operated on. In less than a month it was fitted with a pair of spectacles, which it wears with becoming gravity. ELDERBRAU GROTTO ERICKSON & BERG, Props.

There were some phases of country life with which the little city girl had as yet only one day's acquaintance, but the rights of property-owners, and property-renters were firmly fixed in her mind. "Mother!" she called, in evident excitement, the morning after the family had settled for the summer in Sunset View Cottage, "mother! Just come here and look! There are somebody's hens wiping their feet on our nice clean grass!" WOMEN Thousands of women suffer daily backache, he headache, dizzy spells, languor, nervousness and a dozen other symptoms of kidney trouble, but lay it to other causes. Make no mistake. Keep the kidneys well, and these aches and troubles will disappear. Mrs. Anthony Cadrette. 77 Me. chanic St., Leominister, Mass., says: "My sight哭泣, I had sharp pain in my back and bearing-down pains through the hips. I was nervous, fretful and miserable. The urine was greatly disordered and I began to have the swellings of dropsy. I was running down fast when I started using Doan's Kidney Pills. A wonderful change came and after using them faithfully for a short time I was well." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. The Inquisitive Barber. No doubt many readers have heard of the austere disposition of America's greatest living actor, Richard Mansfield. Perhaps the following conversation, which took place in one of Boston's leading hotels, better illustrates the satirical nature of the player. Entering the barber's shop one morning, he was immediately recognized as Richard Mansfield by the barber. "Good morning," said the barber affably. A grunt was the only reply. "Well, how was things over at the house last night?" "What house?" answered the actor ironically. "The Hollis," said the barber. "What do you mean, sir?" "Why, are you not Richard Mansfield?" the barber asked. "Oh, no, indeed," replied Mr. Mansfield. "I just got out of jail this morning." "What! You're not Richard Mansfield; and you just got out of jail this morning! What for, pray?" "For assaulting inquisitive barbers," was the response. HOWARD E.

Her Excuse for Mores A teacher in a lower West Side public school recently received the following letter: "Kindly exculpate my son Moses from being one aggrigate day absent. Because his mother substantial sick, Moses had to sojourn in the house perpetual, so kindly apology him for not coming once day to school." — New York Sun. He Hoped Not.

SKIN DISEASES There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burning skin disease, and upon the return of warm weather those who are afflicted with skin troubles find the symptoms appearing and know that they will be tormented through the hot summer months. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced to the surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with external applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble which is in the blood. The most such treatment can be expected to do is, allay the itching and burning and cover up the trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns. All food taken into the body contains, in some form, the elements necessary to sustain the different parts. One portion is used for the making of blood, another for muscle, one for bone, still another for fat, and so on. After these different properties are extracted from the food there still remains a portion that is useless, or waste matter, which is intended to be disposed of through the natural channels of bodily waste, the Liver, Kidneys and Bowels. At this season of the year, however, these organs become torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform this duty, and these accumulations remain in the system and are absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and acrid humors. The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this impure condition, and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Acne, Eczema, Tetat, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description. THE ITCHING WAS ALMOST UNBEARABLE. Dear Sirs—My body broke out with a rash or eruption which in spite of all efforts to cure continued to get worse. The itching, especially at night, was simply terrible, it would almost disappear at times, only to return worse than ever. I had tried many highly recommended preparations without benefit, and hearing of S. S. S. determined to give it a fair trial, and was inexpressibly delighted when a few bottles cured me entirely, removing every blemish and pimple from my body. I shall not fail to recommend S. S. S. whenever an opportunity occurs to do so. L. MARNO. Escondido, Cal EOZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds, and is often very painful. The acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, causing a dry, feverish, hardened condition and giving it a leathery appearance. AONE makes its appearance on the face in the form of pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appearance, while PSORIASIS, a scaly disease, comes in patches on different parts of the body. One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALT RHEUM. It discharges a watery fluid, forming sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected, and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp. These and all skin diseases are due to the same cause—burning acids and humors in the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made pure they will continue. The best treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S., a remedy that is purely vegetable, being made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing effect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so that the skin, instead of being blistered and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a supply of cooling, healthy blood. It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of waste or foreign matter, blood. Nothing equals S. S. S. in the treatment of these troubles and for building up the general health.

For obvious reasons the prescription to take moderate exercise is misleading and unsatisfactory. Most of us are constitutionally incapable of exercising moderately. We begin violently and end quickly. And what is moderate exercise? One philosopher who tried it for twenty years arrived at this conclusion: "Keep a pair of Indian clubs in your bedroom. Look at them frequently. Exercise by their suggestion." This has the merit of moderation. It is the same as to walking.

BROS PAINLESS EXTRACTION 50 + PLATES $5 A resident of a small town in southern New Jersey was brought before the Judge on the charge of intoxication. A fine was imposed, paid, and the man discharged. A few days later the same man faced the judge for drunkenness again, but this time refused to pay the fine. The judge became furious, but coolly replied the citizen: "Judge, there ain't no law that says a feller can be fined twice for the same drunk, and, your Honor, you can't prove that I've drawn a sober breath sinse." The case was dismissed.
