Although Victoria has worn the wn for many years, she has never c been able to consider it with feel- of resignation. Millionaire Mackay says he was nev jr so happy as when be was swinging pick. As he is rich enough now to ick his occupation, why doesn't be wing it some more? The denial of the report that Miss Frances Wlllard Is to be married is ulte a disappointment to a number of Id girls who had about made tip their Wads to buy bicycles also. Ann O'Delia Diss Debar Vera Ava iicGowau says she believes in doing "the greatest good to the greatest nuro Aer." But from her actions we suspect wat she thinks the "greatest number' la No. 1. Phil Armour declares that be Is los ing seventeen cents on each steer that 'ha laughters. It thus becomes evi dent that Mr. Armour Is engaged in the irassed beef business entirely for health nd relaxation. A St Louis politician was shot dead by a woman who was jealous of him, and a Tope k a man was shot at three times by his wife because he was Jeal Og of her. Jealousy is a dangerous entiment either way you take it, when woman holds the gun. A man In Mystic, Conn., tried to com mit suicide the other day because "be thought his wife flirted with other ten." Great Scott! We hope this will ot become an authoritative precedent There are already 60,000 more women than men in Massachusetts. A Denver man who sought to defraud his creditors deeded $10,000 worth of property to his typewriter. The latter U now willing to deed the property back to him for 12,500 caah and he is tearing his hair. ' There are no muscae 4omestlcae on the modern typewriter tin. No water Is drawn from the lakes by hip canals, yet their level Is several feet lower than It was a few years ago, fact due to the light rainfall In re cent seasons. By the time the canal . to the Mississippi 1b completed the lakes will probably be rising, .ind will continue to rise for a series of years. They have periodic changes of level that no ship canal could affect to any apreclable extent Eastern papers have become shocked by the report that an Arapahoe Indian bad sold his daughter for fifteen po nies. Of course, they had a right to be shocked. Fifteen ponies at the pres ent price of horse flesh would be a to tal so far short of $2,000,000 as to in ult alike the finer feelings of civiliza tion and Rosa Whiteface, the dusky bride. Happily this wild tale lacks the vaaentlal element of veracity. England's greatest fortresses In Amer - lea are at Halifax, on the Atlantic , aide, and Vancouver, on the Pacific, and the word impregnable is often ap plied to them. It should be rememler d that high explosives have been in Tented since the last important siege was carried forward, and it is by no means certain that any fortress in ex istence can now withstand a long siege. The rule may be accepted that in war hereafter it will be exceedingly un comfortable to be shut up and sur rounded by an active enemy supplied with dynamite. The president of a 8t Louis bank has Issued a peremptory order forbidding very employe from attending horse races under penally of dismissal. The president does not wish to have his cashiers, tellers and other employes led into temptation. He hns noticed that men who go to the races bet, lose money, anil finally help themselves to their employers' funds in the hoe of making good their losses, and he thinks the best way to prevent defalcations Is to keep thone who ore working for the bank away from phiees when they r likely to lesra t!ip defaulting luiliit. Thomas O'Brien, who killed his ai-H4-Ciate in crime In Purls, lilt informed tie Government of the French ttoprib tSc, With HHKiiraoee of bis dlstlngiitHh al consideration, thnt the innn whom 19 killed "g(H what be deserved."

How good it is that the Americans of Us kind also are fond of Parts' For :hir shooim matches amuse the Pa risian, and the end relieve enormous ly our overworked courts. The canned horse flesh industry has evidently come to Oregon to stay. It Is only about a year since the first horse flesh was ranned and sent to France. It was so much liked that large orders from that country have been placet! in Oregon, and a sj ndh-ate of stock-raisers and capitalists has been organized for exploiting the industry. The Oregon men figure that they can make a clear profit of $5 on every carcaxs after, al lowing ?5 for first cost and an addi tional $2 for freight and care. The ranges of Kasteru Washington and Oregon are expected to furnish 2ii.(ni head of horses before fall. The Mou tana IudeiN-udent urges the people of that State to go Into the Industry and says "there is money and big money for the wide-awake Moutauian who will take advantage right now of this oi- portunlty, buy up some part of th- sur plus horses that are uselessly eating off our ranges, and make Helena the cen ter of a horse flesh packing and ship plug Industry." The St Paul Globe Is not well in formed concerning Illinois geography' and hydrography. It announces Uiat the Hennepin Canal Is "a sewer for Chicago" and that that was the real reason why Chlcagoans were In favor of Its construction. It will be news to the people living along the line of that canal that It is to be used for the dis posal of Chicago sewage. They had supposed that the canal was so much above the lake level that It would ba fed with water from the Rock IUver and not from Lake Michigan. It has never occurred to them that Chicago sewage passing down the drainage channel and the Illnols to the eastern terminus of the canal a few miles be low LaSalle will proceed calmly to defy the laws of nature, run up hill. and empty Into the Mississippi at the mouth of Rock River. If such won drous things as this can happen the sewage might flow up the Mississippi and offend the sensibilities of Minne sota people. It Is a wonder the (J lobe did not call attention to that danger. Is the theatrical manager to be the arbiter of real as well as stage mar riages? A New lork manager evident ly thinks so, for he has Inserted a clause In his contracts to the effect that mem bers of his company must not marry without his consent It all came out a few days ago when one of bis actresses played truant, like a boarding-school girl, and was married, and now every one Is waiting to see If the manager will pose as the "forgiving papa" or the "unrelenting parent" The novelty of the Idea Impresses one at the start but the necessity for such a clause la not immediately discernible. It is only after reflection that the advantage can be seen. Actresses are apt to be as fool ish In affairs of the heart as are school girls. They have not the clearness of Vision and the business sense that man agers could wish. They sometimes over look the advertising that can be se cured at the altar. They lack that re gard for the press agent, which every manager knows is his due, and w hich every true actress should have. There fore, It Is wise to leave these matters to the manager, so that he may look to the actress' welfare. Some of them have been known to get married with out having a line In the newspapers about It which, of course, was a griev ous oversight They forgot that mat rimony is regarded now as a feature of the advertising department, and the manager doubtless merely wishes to avoid such mistakes in the future. Many Shipwrecks on Labrador. Owing to the vanguard of rocky Isl ands strung along the coast, harbors are numerous so numerous that a quaint Western man, the only passen ger besides myself who ventured on the mall-boat this cruise, remarked that if harbors were only worth a cent apiece Labrador would be one of the richest countries In the world. But In spite of these many shelters, rocks and Ice are so fatal to shipping on this coast that the mail-boat rarely returns from a trip without bringing In some shipwrecked crew. After one storm three hundred shipwrecked sailors were transferred by her at Belle Har bor to the larger vessel which piles lw tween there and St John's. On our trip we picked up the crew of a stanch English vessel whose captain had. In entering one of the tickles, to choose between ice and rocks, and so ran her on the latter. When we entered 'a har bor our mate always took soundings, but before we let go the anchor our aptala would sing out "Any tlmlwr. Mr. Parsons?" If the mate said ''Yes-' it meant that some vessel had left Its poor old ribs on the rocky bottom, mid we must drift on and sound again. St. Nicholas. Hothern's Mistake.

Upon a certain eveti- ng he was lnited to two entertain ments, one for children and the other reception for grown people. Foud of hlldren.

The entire police force or the city was promply turned out, and the authorities dii everything possible to allay tne alarm, fto far as known the shocks were only severe enough to shake down movable articles from shelves, sideboards, etc.. although there was considerable sway ing of houses, particularly in certain districts of the city, where the shocks seem to have been more severely felt than in others. The guests of the dif ferent hotels seem to have been the least alarmed of all, though they were hastily aroused from their beds by the earthquake shocks. The majority of them retained their presence of mind, and beyond looking to the safety of their valuables in case of having to leave the hotels suddenly, no panic prtvailed. To Ulp OrDcral C'ainpo.

Washington, June A semi, official statement has been received hen from the lexers of one of the moat lir Auential element in Cuba ilmwlng that the war expenditures are becoming enormous aud the sugar sud tobacco iudustrl-s so unprofitable that they be lieve a general uprising will result from ta hard times caused. The portion of the statement eoncersiog the desperate conditions prevailing is as follows: "The war np-iiae of lvs-7s were paid by Cuba, bpain furnished 212,367 men but not a siugle dollar. Cuba was loaded with nearly -w,l ),- debt, besides a yearly budget of ' ii.OUU.OOO in these ten years. General Lovell de clared in the Spanish corteg that the war expenses had been fTOi.UiO, or an average of 7,ux a year. Sugar pro duced there with slave labor, was sold at d'i cents a pound.
