HORRORS OF WAR.
As They War* Depicted by a Miniata*
In Cromwell's Time.
That war has horrors and is to be
i avoided iike a pestilence is no new
: discovery. Modern war is probably
j worse than any that preceded it, but
] from the beginning thoughtful, observ
j iug mankind has protested against the
suffering and wastefulness caused by
i battle.
Here, for instance, is Rev. William
i Hooke, a New Haven minister, wbo
■ later became a chaplain to Oliver Crom
! well, writing in 1«40 about war. The
! death dealing instrument of that day
i might now seem almost harmless by
! comparison with the implements used
j in these advanced times, but the New
| Haven man was keenly alive to the
I saddening aspect of their use.
“Warre," he writes, “is the conflict
of enemies enraged with bloody re
venge. The instruments are clashing
swords, rattling spears, skull dividing
Halberds, murthering pieces and thun
dering Cannons, from whose mouths
proceed the Are and smell and smoke
and terror, death, as it were, of the
! very bottomless pit"
The preacher's description of battle
' has all the vigor of early pulpit rheto-,
| ric. “Here ride some dead men swag
i geriug iu their deepe saddles,” he plc
; tures; “there fall others alive upon
their dead horses; death sends a mes
sage to those from the mouths of the
muskets; these it talks to face to face
and stabs them in the fifth rib.”
War becomes more terrible as man's
Ingenuity brings forth new instruments
of torture.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. j

Literature and Life.
Tbe distinctive characteristic of lit
erature is not extent, but quality of
I knowledge; not range, but vitality; not
' scope of activity, but depth of life. It
is. in a word, tbe process by which a
! man takes the world into his nature
and is fed, sustained and enlarged by
! natural, simple, deep relations and fel
j lowship with the whole order of things
I of which he is part.—Hamilton W. Ma
; bie.
For a Postage Stamp, £670.
The highest price paid lutely for a
! postage stamp was $G70, a sum given
at a New York auction tbe other day
for a five cent Hawaiian missionary
j stamp of the issue of 1851. When the
j early missionaries went from New
; England to Hawaii they looked ahead
I to many things, but hardly to the sale
I of their postage stamps at prices high
er than their salar'es for a vear.

ITINERENT MERCHANT
FINED BY AUTHORITIES j
A. Greenbaum, an itinerent mer
chant with branch stores at Anchor- j
age, Juneau and Ketchikan, ran foulj
of the Itinerent merchant ordinance)
in this city and was arrested by mar-1
shal Scott yesterday for selling goods
without paying the $100 per month
license designated to protect local
merchants from outside competition,
and was hauled before City Magis
trate Wm. Meals, who after hearing
the evidence, assessed a fine of $75
and costs against Mr. Greenbaum.;
which he paid. O. P. Hubbard repre
sented the defendant and T. J. Dono
hoe of the firm of Donohue and Di
mond conducted the prosecution for
the city.
Mr. Greenbaum arrived in the city
on the Admiral Watson with a stock
of ladies ready-to-wear goods, which
he placed on sale, after having pur
chased a license to sell general mer
chandise. which His Honor deemed |
did not fit the occasion. Mr. Green-'
baum departed on the Northwestern
this morning for Ketchikan.
NIZ1NA OPERATOR
RETURNS FROM WEST
_ 1
Is Thoroughly Satisfied to Allow the;
Court House to Remain in
Its Present Ixiration
Frank Kernan, a prominent Nizina,
mining operator, was a passenger on!
the Northwestern for Cordova, where
he will take the Copper River train ;
for Kennecott and his home. Mr. Ker
nan stated that he had left his home,
town and journeyed to Cordova ex-:
pectiiig to catch the boat and come
up to Valdez to transact some legal;
business. On his arrival at the Cop-1
per City he stated that he had to1
wait four days for a boat, and upon ]
his arrival at Valdez found the court l
I
sitting at Anchorage. Mr, Kernan
took ship for Anchorage and trans-'
acted his business returning on the
same boat.
The round trip took him about
a week and it will be three or four
more days before he can get back to
his property. Mr. Kernan is now
somewhat skeptical in regard to mov
ing the seat of government to An
chorage. as he believes had he made
the trip in winter it would have tak
en the better part of six weeks to go
over the trail from Seward, had lie
come thru on the Government trail
over the pass he could have left Chiti
na and got into Valdez the same day
and got hack to Chitina the next day
losing but little valuable time.
The removal of the court to An
chorage would necessitate a long ted
ious journey for the big operators
in the vicinity of McCarthy and Chi
tina who would be forced to wait
for a boat at Cordova, and also have
a long wait at Anchorage bpfore they
could return. The distance from Val
dez to the big mining interests along
the Copper River railroad is about
75 miles, which can be easily made;
at small expense in a day by auto, j
via the Valdez trail.
