This Is What an Old Sourdough Says:
The name of Mr. George D. Schofield, for ATTORNEY GEN
ERAL, was mentioned today in the presence of Captain Charles L.
Peabody who made the following statement:
“Yes, I know Mr. Schofield, and regardless of his POLITICS
he is. In my opinion, more than an ATTORNEY, he is n LAWYER
and an ORATOR.
Mr. Schofield is a man of very strong iiersonality, resourceful,
reliable and capable and with Ills wonderful mental ability and Ills
capacity for rapid thinking, I feel confident that the voting |>eoplo
of ALASKA are making no mistake in selecting him for their
ATTORNEY GENERAL.”

ANOTHER CANDIDATE
TAKES RAP AT WILSON
PROVIDENCE, R. I.. Oct. 19.—
Arthur E. Reimer, socialist labor can
didate for president, addressing an
audience here last night, declared
that the president had made an utter
failure in efforts to accomplish any
thing toward peace in Europe and
the best he could do was to set aside
a day for the common people to offer
up a prayer.
He attacked the capitalists and de
clared that the power of labor was
never more in evidence and the In
competency of the Wilson administra
tion never more manifest than when
recently President Wilson and mem
bers of congress came to the railifcad
workers, pleading with them that u
strike would bring about a calamity
that might end in civil war.

TOLD IN FEW WORDS.
Sonw Famous Nominating Speeches In
Presidential Campaigns.
On the third day of the 1800 conven
tion when other business had been dis
posed of and nominations were In or
der Mr. Kvarts of NeVv York In fewer
than thirty words presented William
n. Seward for the nomination. Mr.
Judd of Illinois was equally brief In
presenting Ahrnhum Lincoln.
The names of William L. Dayton of
New Jersey, of Simon Cameron of j
Pennsylvania, of Salmon P. Chase of !
Ohio, of Edward Bates of Missouri and
of John McLean of Ohio were present
ed, but fewer than two dozen words
were used In any Instance.
It Is not by elaborate and eloquent j
nominating speeches that the choice of !
presidential candidates Is determined. !
The reasons Influencing delegates are ;
of a different character. But If
speeches must be made a reasonable
brevity will make them all the more <
effective.
Two*of the best remembered noml- ;
natlng speeches ever made in a na- ;
tlonul convention were by Robert G.
Ingersoll for Blaine In 1870 and by
Daniel Dougherty nominating Hancock
in 1880—one a Republican, the other a
Democrat—and neither speech occu
pied more than ten minutes In delivery.

BURIED IN SECRET.
Two Famouo King* Whoso Last Rest
ing Places Are Unknown.
Two ancient kings were burled In se
cret. Attila, king of the Huns, after
his siege of Home, died In Hungary
A. D. 453. Ills soldiers, desirous of
giving their great leader a right royal
burial, inclosed his body first In a cas |
ket of gold, tills In one of silver and
this In one of lead, and transported It
Into a desert There slaves were se
lected, a’nd under the direction of men
who were sworn to secrecy they dug
the grave of the dend monarch. When
this was accomplished no traces of the
spot were left The slaves were all
cruelly slain.
Alarlc, king of the Goths, the cele
brated conqueror of Home, died when
with his nrmy at Cozenza, south Italy
Ills men turned the course of a river.
Interred the body of their sovereign,
with much treasure. In Its bed and re
stored the stream to Its channel.
No man has ever lighted on the rest- 1
Ing place of either of these kings, who j
In tills respect resemble Moses, of
whom It Is written, “No man knowetb j
of his sepulcher unto this day.”—Lon
don Standard.

Poor Thackerayl
Sir William Howard Russell's diary
for April, 1852, has this amusing
glimpse of Thackeray:
"The sportsmen among whom 1 had
the honor to be numbered were of the
Winkle order. Thackeray, Dickens, j
John Beech. Jerrold. Lemon, Ibbotsou. j
were Invited, and carriages were re ;
served to Watford. As we were start
Ing a written excuse was brought from
Dickens to be conveyed to Mrs. X. by
Thackeray. The party drove up to tile
house, and after compliments Thack j
eray delivered the billet The effect !
was unpleasant Mrs. X. fled alonV
the hall, and the guests heard her call i
Ing to the cook: ‘Martin, don’t roast
the ortolans. Mr. Dickens Isn't com
ing.’
"Thackeray said he never felt so
small ‘There’s a test of popularity for
you! No ortolans for PendeunlsI’ ”
Protection From Lightning.
Sir Oliver Lodge stated that the
problem of securing protection from
lightning consisted In finding the best
method of dissipating the euormous
energy of the flash, but that It was not
wise to get rid of the energy too quick
ly. A thin Iron wire Is considered the
best lightning conductor from the elec
trical point of view, but It Is almost
Impossible to protect a building from
lightning unless It Is completely envel
oped In a metal cage. It la by uo means
true that a building Is safe when pro
vided with a conductor reaching up to
the highest part of the building.
A Fairy 8tory.
Three men stood before the good
fairy.
"Why do you want wealth?" de

"Aud you?"
"I want to show somebody."
“And you?”
*T want to help somebody.”
Which one did the good fairy as
