GOVERNOR BENEFITS LETTER.

We publish letter today from Governor
Bennett to the Statesman. concerning Council
men. The Governor takes the ground that
Councilmen are elected and can only hold of
fice for two years, and that an entire ticket
will have to be elected this comingfall. This 10

the Territory, as it viii enable them. if they
wish to d. 20. to elect legislative body. with
sense enough to know what il . fair salary for
Territorial and county officials, and honesty
enough to revise the laws 30 that hereafter only
fair salaries shall be paid, and SO that the tax.

officials are paid Eve, six, and even ten. times
as much per year. as laborer can earn. taxa
ton will not be reduced, nor the public debts
diminished; and so long rs the present rate OF
taxation is kept up the Territory cannot ad-
vance in population nor IN wealth. Voters
should, therefore. vote only for men to repre-
sent them In the legislature who are solemnly
pledged to reduce taxation BY the only possible
plan; by reduction Of salaries. in nearly all
cases. at least fifty per cent, and in some cases
nearly two hundred per cent. The Assessor.

Prehistoric Remains in Oceania.

It NAV be remembered, says the London
Acadenv, that when Magellan discovered
the Philippines he was astOnished to light
upon an Arabic alphabet in use at Cabu.
On inquiry he found that somewhere about
the ninth century some MOhammedan
priests from Oman had landed here, and
taught the natives the Koran. Only
sOmefew isolated facts are known concern
ING the population of the islands Of Ocean
ia before the discovery of European vOy-
ayers, and, any addition to our knowledge,
however small. is therefore of great value.
A Manila paper announces the discovery
Of some prehistoric remains, apparently
akin 20 those of Mexico and the United
States, on the little islands of ROta and
Tinian, which form part of the LadrOne or
Mariana Islands. We have as yet but very
scantv particulars of these antiquities, but
they appear to consist in each case OF two
series of eight stone pyramids, standing IN
two rows, al intervals of twelve feet, the
base being twelve feet square and the
height thirty-six feet. The summit is
crowned by a kind of large cup equal In
diameter to the diagonal of the base. I'm
fortunately the description of these pyra-
mids given us leaves much to be desired,
but there is little doubt that they belong
to an age anterior to the Spanish conquest,
and that they cannot possibly be ascrlbed
to a race at all similar to the vindictive and
degraded abOrigines of the archipelago.
From the present description these mOnu-
ments would seem TO have much in COM
mon with the prehistoric remains found
in Mexico and some of the United States.

A Remarkable Masonic Incident.

The first Masonic funeral that ever OC-
Cured in California took place in 1919,
and was performed over a brother found
drowned in the bay of San Francisco. An
account of the ceremonies states that on
the body of the deceased was found a sill
yer mark of Mason, upon which were
engraved the initials of his name. a little
further investigation revealed to the be-
holder the most singular exhibition of Ma
sonic emblems that was ever drawn by the
ingenuity of man upon the human skin.
There is nothing in the history or tradi-
tiOns of FreemasOnry equal to it. Beauti-
fully dotted on his left arm, in red and
blue ink, which time could not et1ace, ap-
peared all the emblems of the entire ap-
premiership. There was the Holy Bible,
square and compass, the twentY-tour inch
gauge and common gavel. There were
also the Masonic pavement. representing
the ground floor of King SOlOmOn's tenn
pie, the indented teSsel which surrounds
it, and the blazing star in the center. On
his right arm, and artistically executed in
the same indelible liquid, were the en-
bIems pertaining to the FellOwcraft's de-
gree, viz: The square, the level and the
plumb. There were also the five columns
representing the five orders of architec-
ture the Tuscan, DOric, Ionic, COrinthian
and Composite. In removing his gar
ments from his body, the aHEel presented
itself with all the other tools of operative
masonry. Over his heart was the pot of
incense. On other parts of his body was
the beehive, the book of constitutions,
guarded by the Tyler's sword, pointing to
a naked heart; the All-Seeing Eye, the
anchor and ark, tho hOur-glass. the scythe,
the fOrty-seventh problem of Euclid the
sun, moon, stars and comets; the three steps
which are emblematical of youth, man.
hood and age. Admirably executed was
the weeping virgin, reclining upon bro
ken column, upon which lay the book of
constitutions. In her right hand she held
the pot of incense. the Masonic emblem of
a pure heart, and in her left hand a sprig
of acacia, the emblem of the Immortality
of the soul. Immediately beneath her
stood winged Time, with his scythe by his
side, which cuts the brittle thread of life,
and the horIr-glass at his feet, which is
ever reminding US that life is whitening
away. The withtred and attenuated fin
gers of the destroyer were placed amid the
long and flowing ringlets of the disconsO-
late mourner. Thus were striking em-
blems of mortality and Immortality blend
ed in one pictorial representation. 1t was
a spectacle such as Masons never saw be-
fore. and in all probability such as the fra
ternity will never witness again. The
brothers name was never knOwn.-PhiLa

What Jealousy Did for Two Nevada
Boys.

One day last week Squire Sayer was
called upon to perform the marriage GER
emOny for couple who were making
their home at the American. They were
both of an age which might be called ma
ture, and the husband appeared to be well
supplied with the all-requisite, greenbacks.
The happy pair drove off in one of Esta-
brooks best buggies. and spent the alter
noon viewing the sights in andabOut Den
yer. all unconscious of the presence OF
Joel SchTager. rival of the favored bride
groom, who arrived in town on the
O'Clock train from Boulder.
1t came to pass that Schrager saw upon
the American House register the name of
his hated and more aged rival, and right
after his name the word ''wife.' This
sight drove Joel almost mad with rage,
disappointment and spite. To drown his
woe ne went and got drunk and refused
TO be cOmfOrted. Next morning the party
started home, Joel to go to work on
ranch, where he is working on shares, and
the happy couple to their home, about two
miles below ValmOnt. Joel sat at one end
of the car. with his face to the girl who
had Tilted him for another. Her husband,
who was ten years her senior, observed
that this close scrutiny on the part of the
half-drunken Joel Schrager annoyed his
wife. He determined to put a stop to it,
and for that purpose stepped up to him,
and few sharp words passed between
them. They passed out upon the rear
platform, where they remained in cOnver-
sation several minutes. when both disap-
peared. On the arrival of the train at
Davidson, the young wife, uneasy at her
husbands absence, made inquiries con-
cerning him, when it was found that both
he and Schrager had left the train. The
alarmed wife, fearing the worst, took the
next train south to seek her husband, but
saw no signs of him or his antagonist
along the road. On lrer return TO BOuld-
er, sick, weary, and full of gloomy appre-
tensions, she found her husband awaiting
her. He was badly bruised up, and wore
a white bandage about his head. 1t ap-
pears that he and Schrager had engaged in
a scuffle upon the rear of the car, when he
| drew pistol, intending to use it on his
assailant. Schrager seized him suddenly
about the waist and fell with him down
the car steps upon the embankment, down
which they both rolled into the ditch;
| here the fight continued, until both were
thoroughly bruised and exhausted.
When the fight was over they realized
fully their embarrassing position. The
train was nearly out of sight, and they
were miles from any station. Schrager
| left his badly-pummeled antagonist and
walked to the next ranch, and took the
next train for Denver, where he has re-
manned ever since. He spent Saturday
night in the calabOOse, where he poured
out his griefs and told his story of woe to
our reporter. He says he will not 90 back
to Boulder county to be laughed at, but
will 90 and do something desperate at

Sometimes when Eugene Arnot visits

membrance of all that is gone come over
him, that he half fancies there is an invisi-
bic sentient presence in the air, and that

after sunrise. The birds fly about, the
fishes jump, and animated nature seems TO
know as little of night as inanimate. On
shore, for instance, at Tromso, people are
out walking or standing at their house
doors, enjoying the night as we do the day.
Perhaps they retire to sleep at l orr; but
sleep seems scarcely necessity to them,
and they are up again early. 1t deserves to
be recorded also that photographer at
Tromso took successful portraits of large
group of steamboat passengers exactly at
midnight, June 27. 1t need hardly be
mentioned that neither within the Arctic
Circle nor considerably south of it were
any stars visible at midsummer, nor till
the end of July; and the moon but rarely,
and then as pale as at noon in England.
OF course this description is true only of
bright nights; there are dull nights there,
as there are dull days with us; and many
