the sort which comes to this country in
cans.

A delegation of Alaskans called upm

ka mining matters. Money answered

Brief Outside Mention
The jury convicted Mayor Schmitz of
San Francisco on a felony charge of ex
tortion. Sentence was delayed. His
cast' will be appealed. Meanwhile he is
in jail.
Governor Hughes June 20 signed the
bill authorizing a recount in the New
York mayoralty contest. It seems to
look more and more like Hearst was
robbed of the office.
The second Russian douma was dis
solved June 17 because that body re
fused to deliver up some thirty of its
members on a charge of conspiracy
against the state. Great disorder has
followed and is being met by stern
measures.
In the Haywood trial at Boise it ap
pears that the prosecution intends to,
rely on Orchard’s story and corrobor
ating evidence for its strongest points
against the accused. Fnder these cir
cumstances the defense will confine it
self to principally to Orchard’s motive
and trying to break his testimony. Or
chard has confessed to sixteen murders
and many other horrible crimes.
hi I<>ronto the .Metallic l(oohng Com
pany obtained a judgment for $7,500
against the Amalgamated Sheet Metal
Workers' Association for damages sus
tained through a strike. Officers of the
union refuse to pay or to tell the court
where they keep the union funds.
Asked if they understand that they may
be committed to jail indefinitely, the
men reply they do not believe it would
lie permitted, imprisonment in iierjietu
ity for debt having been abolished.
The good offices of Mexico and the
l'nited States jointly tendered in an
effort to bring about peace between
the warring states of Central America
were rejected, and it now looks like a
war of extermination will spread all
over Central America. The southern
republics seem to fear a plot between
Mexico and the l'nited States to inter
fere too much in their affairs. There is
a |» issibility that Mexico and tlie I nitrd
will intervene bv force of arms and de
clare a protectorate over the disturlssl
territory.
Senator John T. Morgan, of .VluKimu,
died suddenly, June 11, aged sit years.
||e had been in tile senate thirty years,
and it is doubtful if In nil that time
there has tiren a single representative of
a moneyed interest whet has even sns
|seted that In' maid lie corrupted.
The nearest approach to scandal that
was ever connected with his mime was
a hoot fifteen years ago, wlieu some teni
ts-ranee |ie*iple circulated a re|»,rt that
he k»l whirr seed the senate while his
face was flushed from drink. Morally,
physically, intellectually and in learn
ing he was well developed—normal in
every particular. Ilis opinion on inter
national ipiestions for many years com
manded more respect abroad, perhaps,
than any other man’s.
Washington, I). ('., dune 8.—President
Roosevelt was a most embarrassed man
during the laying of the corner stone of
the Masonic temple here this afternoon.
While the Master Mason was tying an
apron on the chief executive he raised
the tails of the frock coat of the presi
dent and exposed to view a six shooter.
President Roosevelt became aware that
the revolver was exposed and made sev
eral attempts to cover it up. .Finally
lie appreciated the humor of the situ
ation and joined in the laughter that
followed the exposure of the weapon.
Girl bathers at Roekawav Beach are
liable to arrest if they parade on the
bench in skirts higher than ?, inches
above the knee. Shrinkage of a skirt
while being worn is at the wearer’s own
risk.
Matrimony is like a cigar; both are
started with a match and both end in
ashes.
There is only one way to happiness
and that is found by looking for chances
to help other folk.
All the world’s a stage, but all those
on it are not actors. i
Don't be afraid of fear.
REMOVAL.

Is now located at Evhkka,
where lie is prepared to do
