Senator Beck,s Opinion.

Baltimore, August II The Sun
of to-day has the following interview
with Senator Beck on the proceed
ings in Mexico against A. X. Cut
ting: The Senator informed the Sun
correspondent that he does not be-
iieve any man with ordinary intel
ligence can question for one moment
the aggressiveness of the present
Administration in. battling with all
public questions, be they foreign or
domestic. He stated most emphati
cally that there is no ground for
doubling the courage of the State
Department in dealing with the Cut
ting case. On the contrary, the
Senator is inclined 10 think that the
Secretary of State has, if anything.
been too aggressive in the Mexican
matter. He says that the United
States should try to induce Mexico
to repeal the law which renders an
American citizen punishable in Mex
leo for his uttraces il the United
States. 1t is a bad law and will cre--
ate mischief so long as it remains up
on the Mexican statute book, but we
can not gain anything by declaring
war against Mexico, for If we did we
would simply place ourselves IN the
attitude of big man picking quar-
rel with small boy.

Since John Shelton was converted
here last December he has succeed
ed in turning over about 700 sim
ners. Harry Graham has accom-
panied him and assisted in the sew
eral revivals. Their first meeting

versions. Next at Chillicote their
labors were rewarded in five weeks
meeting, commencing April 4, by
225 converts. From Edna, where

The mahwa tree, an East Indian
variety of the order Brassia, has
been found to yield $4,000 pounds of
sugar per acre, while the average
produce of the best sugar-cane is
rather less than 1000 pounds. By
the time the population of our earth
has multiplied to crowding degree.
one of the Baron Humbolt's predIc-
tions will probably be verified by the
general cultivation of tree crops. On
the same area where wheat would.
support one man, the banana will
support twenty-five. A grove of
full-grown olive-trees is nearly 100
times more productive than any crop
of oil-bearing herbs. Tree culture
will probably become the watch-word
of a higher civilization, for the aridi-
ty of our fields could likewise be
ccunteracted by the climatic infu-
ence of arboreal vegetation.-Dr.

Rules for Courtship.

| Agree with the girls father in
politics and her mother in religion.
If you have a rival, keep an eye
on him; if he is widower keep two
eyes on him.
Don't put too much sweet stuff on
paper. If you do you will hear it
read in after years, when your wife
has some especial purpose in infiict-
ing upon you the severest punish
ment known to married man.
Go home at reasonable hour in
the evenig- Don't wait until she
has to throw her whole soul into a
yawn that she can't cover with both
hands. A little thing like that may
cause GOODNESS at the very begin
ming of the game.
If upon the occasion of your first
call the girl upon whom you have
placed your young affections looks
like an iceberg and acts like cold
wave, take your leave early and
stay away. Woman in her hours of
freeze is uncertain, coy, and hard,
to please.
In cold weather, finish saying
goodnight in the house. Don't
stretch it all the way to the front gate
and thus lay the foundation for fu-
ture asthma, bronchitis. neuralgia,
and chronic catarrh to help you wor-
ry the girl to death after she has
married you.
Don't lie about your financial con-
dItion. 1t is very annoying to a
bride who has pictured for herself
a life of luxury in her ancestral halls
to learn to learn too late that you ex-
pect her to ask a baId-headed pa
rent, who has been uniformly kind |
to her, to take you in out of the
cold.
If you sit down on some molasses
candy that little Willie has left on
the chair, while wearing your new
trousers for the first time,
smile sweetly and remark that you
don't mind sitting on molasses can
dy at all, and that "boys will be
boys" Reserve your true feelings
for future reference.
Don't be too soft. Don't say,
These little hands shall never do a
stroke of work when they are mine,"
ind "You shall have nothing to do
II our home but to sit all day long
md chirp to the canaries,' as if any
woman could be happy fool
ng away time IN that sort of style.
4 girl has fine retentiye momory
or the soft things and silly promises
# courtship, and occasionally in
Ifter years, when she is washing the
Inner dishes or patching the west
md of your trousers, she will
emind you of them in cold, sar-
;astic tone of voice.-From the New
FORK Mail.

Beef is never seen on a Chinese
table, oxen and cows capable of
working the pillow being accounted
too valuable to the farmer to be con-
signed to the butcher. Very severe
penalties are attached to the slaught-
er of these animals. The punish
ment for the first offense is hum
dred strokes with bamboo, and
then two months in the wooden col
lar Should love of beef or desire
of gain induce repetition of the
crime, second judicial flogging is
followed by exile for life from the

Gov. Kinkead, of Alaska, is quite
enthusiastic oyer the resources of his
bulky and rather unwieldly domain.
He says the mines are rich, the fish
cries Inexhaustible, and the climate
along the coast mild, but showery
all the year round. The soil is not
fitted for agriculture, but there is
good grazing range. The Indians,
he says, are not at all averse TO
work. In fact, in some quarters, all
of them have quit trapping and gone
to work in the fish canning factories,
where they can earn steady wages.
The greatest need of the Territory,
according to the governor, is school
facilities, and if this is true he should
certainly be given liberal aid at
once.

Illumination is commonly supposed
to be a digestive process peculiar to
certain of the lower animals. There
are, however, some forty cases on
record where this power has been
possessed by members of the human
species. 1t usually commences so
soon after birth that the affected in
dividual cannot state its commence
ment, and appears to be present in
males exclusively. 1t is in all its
steps essentially the same as in ru-
minating animals, and mostly occurs
in those who are large eaters.

Our TeMkshurT.

The starting revelations contained
in the report of the special grand
jury summoned to investigate the
charges against the management of
the county poor farm and insane asy
lum are sufficient to arouse the in
dignation of the entire community.
While the investigation was pending
the Gazette maintained n strictly
conservative course, expressing no
opinions as TO the merits of the
charges, and declining to give pub
licity any of the floating rumors which
the grand jury had been charged TO
investigate. From the ereport referred
tion as TO the gross mismanagement
of that institution, even if the charges
of inhuman treatment of the inmates
are not sustained in full. The pre-
SUMPTION is that the grand jury max
ing this open report has assuredly
found bills of indictment in confor-
NIFTY Herewith. There ought to be
the fullest investigation, let the re-
sponsibility fall where it may. 1t
is one of the most terrible arraign-
ments ever presented against an
official or set of officials III this coun-
ty. If even one-half the charges are
sustained in trial before jury it
will be sufficient to call for severe
penalties.
