TERRITORIAL DIVISION.

Under the above caption the new cdi
tor of the Asotin Spirit starts off 10 this
wise: "The people Of Washington Ter
ritory may expect to be afflicted with
some cheap talk about division Of the
Territory this fall, As the advocates Of that
measure are aot al dead yet, aud the fall
ssspaigs usually has the eject 70 bring
sss asganeats fss ssA against division.
We fill h zee the bepei, " be derived
BY any part Of this Territory by division,
and even though Eastern Washing ton
could have added to her North Idaho
and all Of Montana, We still think 1t would
not be compensation for the loss Of the
natural wealth OF the country west Of the
Cascades, with her inexhaustible timber
forests, coal, non, marble, fisheries and
shipping interests, favored by the safest
and best harbors and roadways in the
world. Western Washington is destined
to be great manufacturing and CON-
mercial center, and that people will soon
be in shape to get along much better
without us than We can without them.
We need just such country as that will
be in the near future to buy our -four,
pork, beef, butter, eggs, horses aud wool
The trouble with this country now is oul
market is too far of, it takes nearly what
it costs to produce it to send our produce
to market, and nothing is left for tht
farmer. Whas the people Of Washing
ton Territory need is to unite their ener
girs, influence and capital for the build
ing Of two railroads across the Cascades
, Let Tacoma have her road, but let tn,
whole people unite to build another roa'
. through tht Cascades still further north.

On the Sd Of July We had the follow
ing in the TELLER
"The mention by our Grangeville COZ
respondent of the name of L. p Brow
as candidate for Delegate to Congress
was unauthorized by Mr.. Brown, and tn
backhanded lick given to Mr.. Singise
has no endorsement by the TELLER"
Our authority for saying thi, was from
the correspondence itself, N'herein occur
this passage: ave did not talk to Nj
Brown nor he to US upon this subject
therefore we cannot say with any satet
that Mr.. Brown, personally, has any anz
iety ia this direction. Il however is prt
sumably safe to say that the gentlems
has an exceedingly large following, mad
up of both Democrats and Republicans.
This was enough to induce us to say tha
the letter was unauthorized by Mr.. Brow
and We 20 said, supposing that it was true
Now it turns out that the writer of tina
} letter tells the junior partner Of the TEL
LER that Mr.. Brown claimed that We ha
no right to say that that letter was un
authorized by him. The correspondent
further told the junior Of the TELLE
, that Mr. Brown induced him to writ
that letter and induced him TO write On

Twas Not all Love.
(From a western Romance.)

a.
"Do you really love ne, Beryl?"
A pair of soft, ~lustrous eyes looked up in
quiringly into the face of Harold Wyverne, and
over the sweet, girlish face swept a wave of pal
lor, quickly followed by a sunny smile as she
saw by the expression of Harold's face hat his
question had not been asked in seriousness.
"How you brighten me-" she said, nesting
close beside him in the confiding, trustful way
that is SO characteristic of woman when she is
about to lay pipe for a new bonnet. eff you
had been in earnest, Harold, I believe your
words would have broken my heart and,
stepping to the other side of the conservatory,
into which they had wandered after the last
waltz, she gazed steadfastly out into the deep
ening gloom of a November night.
"Poor little birdling," said Harold to himself,
show madly she loves me. My words, even
though spoken in jest, have affected her strange
ly, and she steals way for an instant to conceal
the tears that cannot be restrained"
Harold had never been arrested for knowing
too much. He was a young man of singularly
pure life and tight pants, and never once had
there swept across the unlocked horizon of his
avn tennis and cigarette existence the cold,
stolid fact that, after whirling in the dreamy
measures of a waltz, even the best of women
love to steal awhile away and stand unostenta-
tiously on the side of their feet in order that
their corns may throb untrammelled in all the
buoyant gladness of a temporarily removed
slipper.

Delicate and Feeb Q Ladies'.

Those Languid, tiresome sensations, causing YOU
to feel scarcely able to be on your feet; that con-
slant drain that Is taking from your system all its
former elasticity; driving the bloom from your
cheeks; that continual strain upon your vital forces
rendering you irritable and frelful, can easily be re-
moved by the use of that mrrvelous remedy, Hop
Bitters. Irregularities and and distractions of
your system arc relieved at cnce, while the special
cause Of periodical pain are permanently removed.
None receive so much benefit, and none are so pro-
foundly grateful and show such an interest in rec
ommending Hop Bittess as women.

"My mother was afflicted a long time with Neu-
ralg'a and a dull, heavy, inactive condition Of the
who'e system, headache, nervous prostration, and
was almost helpless. No physicians or medicines
did her any good. Three months ago she began to
usc Hop Bitters with such effect tina, she seems
and feels young again, although over 10 ears old.

An ingenious contrivance for determining the
precise locality of a fire has been devised by a
member of a French fire brigade. A telescope
is mounted at the top Of the station SO as to
command a view Of the surrounding district

tain points the instrument In the direction OF
the flames. When once he has secured the

the telescope in the case of a miniature 1nstrtl'

the Monitor which was built at the same
works was the beginning Of our modern
navies.
The gun itself is forty feet long, construct
ed of brass with a bore of -four inches, fitted
to a steel truss and carriage. The projectile,
shown in illustration, is a soft metal cart
ridge which will contain 100 pounds of dy-
namite, this cartridge is fitted with a wooden
tail which acts as a rudder, steering it, head
on, to the object for which it is directed. On
striking, a hard metal pin which is in the
forward end of the projectile is driven
against a illuminate, and explcdes the
dynamite.
The power which propalls the projectile is
compressed air, it having been proved after
some disastrous experimenting that any of
the usual explosives would through the VIC
lence of the shock explode the dynamite be-
fore leaving the gun.
The compressed air is supplied by q steam
engine to a powerful air chamber at the
rear of the projectile, capable of sustaining
a pressure of 1900 pounds to tho square
inch. This air is discharged into the bar
rel by the simple pressure of the g%unner's
finger.

FOUR WEALTHY WOMEN.
One Who Cried When She Heard That She
WAS to be a Presidents Wife.

One Who Cried When She Heard That She
Was to be a Presidents Wife.
Some of the very rich women of New York
have many peculiarities. Mrs. Stewart, for in
stance, never opens her front windows, and
she goes out driving so seldom that even the
neighbors on the adjoining block do not know
her. She is a sincere Christian, believing more
firmly in tie English church than any other,
and yet worshipping more to suit her own quiet
taste than according to any set tenets of faith.
She does not care for her personal appearance
and does not dress half so neatly as her SER
wants. She walks out of pleasant afternoons
twice or thrice a week, and while always ac-
compauied at a respectable distance by a strong
man-servant, she. looks so commonplace that
not one of the multitude are aware that she is
the richest widow in the world. Mrs. Stewart
always carries goodly sized coins for beggars.
Miss Wolfe differs from Mrs. Stewart in this
respect. When she meets a beggar she must
know his or her references before doing any,
thing Of a substantial nature. 1t is q very
difficult matter to fix the age of Miss Wolfe.
She is no longer young and yet she does not
look old. She possesses a face of the type
which never ages. There is a story about her
having loved a brave fellow some years ago,
and that he passed away before the day agreed
upon for their wedding. and when he was
buried her heart also was put away in the
tomb. 1t is a pretty romance, all devotion,
nothing but truth and pureness, and she now
devotes her life to charity.
Mrs. Goelet, like her late husband, is of re-
firing disposition. For intervals of weeks she
will remain closely at home, out to all callers,
and then again she will be seen at every place
of note in the city. Her jewels are said 10 be
the finest private collection in the country.
The Goelets were always a curious family.
But the most sensible and attractive of the
rich ladies in New Yoek whom this article has
called to mind is Mrs. Marshall o. Roberts.
The widow of a mining king. intelligent, cul-
tured and handsome, she, with SIS, 900 900 in
her own right, numbers her suitors by the
dozens. Some time ago, it will be readily re-
called, the gossips said that she proposed to en-
ter the White House as the wife of Arthur and
its mistress. According to an informant of
mine, Mrs. Roberts, when the story came to her
ears, burst out crying as though her heart
would break, pronounced it false end suple-
mented it with the statement that she would
never again go to the altar as an expectant
bride. She is the center of a social circle of
brave men and women, docs a great deal in aid
of literature and art, and is well known to the
poor of the Five Points and the east side
