The proposition that the United
States invite an international confer
ence to secure safety at sea seems to
meet favor in official and maritime
circles. 1t also interests the travelling
public. When the shipper casts his
breadstuffs upon the waters, he takes
refuge behind the underwater. But
when he embarks personally, his ton
tine policy fails to oford him equal
satisfaction. He wants his VOYAGE
made absolutely safe. To insure the
greatest possible security, uniform
regulations for shipping at sea should
be adopted in common by the mari
time nations. The present "rule Of
the road" seems powerless to prevent
collisions, and other disasters, now
to frequent, iyht be averted through
the proposed conference. -[New York
Tribune.

When it is remembered that the
maximum price price paid for Govern
ment land is $3.50 per acre and the
minimum $1.25, some idea can be
conveyed of the vast territory that has
been transferred, amounting to about
95, 900 acres.

LAND OFFICE BUSINESS.
Great Increase Over thc Sales of

During the past year the business
in the Land Office has been unprece-
dented in the history OF Los Angeles,
and, as the following table shows, the
receipts to the end OF November have
amounted to over 1000 more
than during the correspond

The Cause of Creaking Shoes.

Many people object to machine sewed
shoes on account of the creaking they
make when walked in. This creaking
is never heard in Il hand sewed shoe.
The hand sewed shoes are from S1.50 to
So higher in price than the machine sewed
sho2s, The reason that machine sewed
shoes creak when walked in is that the
soles are sewed to the uppers through
and through with one thresd, while in
hand sewed shoes what is called the
''weltn is sewed by hand to the uppers
and the outer sole is sewed to the welt.
The hand sewed shoes do not wear bet
ter than the machine sewed, but they
are more comfortable, and adjust them
selves to the foot more readily.
Several inventions have been made to
obyiate the creakiug difficulty, and one
line of goods is made by machinery
which it is claimed no one can detect as
a machine made article 1t has the same
fleXibil'ty and soltness, does not creak,
and is a hall cheaper. The shoes are

rHEFrs OF THE MORNING.

"The carly death of n youth was frequently
cal ed in poetic language a seizure or theft by
Aurora"
Bind us the Morning, mother OF the stars
And Of the winds that usher in the day
Ere her light fingers slide the eastern bars,
A netted snare before her footsteps lay;
Ere the pale roses of the mist be strewn:
Bind us the morning, and restore our ownl
With her have passed all things we held most
Most subtly guarded from her amorous
stealth;
We nothing gathered, toiling year by year,
But she hath claimed it for increase of
wealth:
Our gems make bright her crown, incrust
her throne:
Bind us the Morning, and restore our ownl
Where are they gone who round our myrtles
played,
Or bent the vines rich fruitage to our
hands,
Or breathed deep song from out the laurels
shaded
She drew them to her; who can slack the
bandsl
What lure she used, what tolls, was never
known:
Bind us the Morning and restore our own!
Enough that for her sake Orion died,
Slain by the silver archer Of the sky
That lions prince amid her splendors wide
Lies chained by age, nor wins his prayer
to die;
Enoughl but hark! our captive loves make
moan:
Bind us the Morning, and restore our own!
We have beheld them whom we lost of old.
Among her choiring Hours, in sorrow
bowed
A moment CLEAN their faces faint and cold
Through some high oriel window wreathed
with cloud,
Or ON the wind before her they are blown:
Find us the Morning, and restore our ownI
They do her service at the noiseless looms
That weave the misty yesture of the hills;
Their tears are drink to thirst.ng grass and
blooms,
Their breath the darklng wood-bird wakes
and thrills;
Us too they seek, but far adrift are thrown;
Bind us the Morning and restore our own!
Yea, cry her Thief! from where the light
doth break
To where 1t merges in the western deep
II anght of ours she, startled, should for.
sake,
Such waits the waiting Night for us will
( keep.
But stay not; still pursue her, falsely flown
Bind us the Morning, and restore our own!

Why Room Numbers Are Changed.

The hotel clerk finds many curious
people. If at some time there has been
a suicide in one of the rooms, the first
duty OF the clerk is TO see to l. that the
newspaper eporter does not get the num-
Der of the room. And if he should, the
number is changed at the hotel as quick
ly as possible. The reason for this is
that the average arrival who is posted
on the suicide invariably asks the clerk
what room it occurred in, and follows
the inquiry with tn remark that he
doesn't want that ROOM There is
hardly a first-class hotel IN Chicago that
hasn't had some sort Of tragedy, aud
the clerks are never supposed to know
what room they occurred in Chicago

OUR GRAVES.

A mound, a stone and violets,
A bird song in the air,
A child that gathers flowers and lets
The wind play with its hair;
A field of wheat across a hedge
Rippled by fairy hands,
A silver stream that downward runs
To cheer the lower lands.
Nomound, no stone, no violets-
A blue sea overhead,
a sobbing wind that ne'er forgets
Its chanting for the dead;
Beneath the stars on summer nights
That deep, blue grave, how fair,
The while upon the shore the waves
Beat low, as if in prayer.
No mound, no stone, no violets,
No birds, no wave, no star
\ spot where memory forgets
What spring and summer are;
Deeper it lies than deep sea graves,
From land and sea apart
A grave, so sad and desolate!
A grave within the heart!

a LITTLE or YOUR LIE.

President Ceveland's persistent refusal to
indorse the denomination of Hill has driven the
Governors friends to a comcal feat of desDera-
ton. They have gotten up petition which.
when it has received its quota of signatures,
they intend to forward to the President, and
which calls upon him to confound the enemies
of Hill and to bless Hill and his friends.
We are inclined to believe that this petition
is without a parallel in the history of politics.
Anything more inconvenient can scarcely be
ina gined. 1t is an attempt to eXtort from the
President " character for the Governor of the
State of New York. These maladroit petit
TONERS think to bulldoze Mr.. Cleveland into
pointing with personal and party pride to Mr..
Hill. OF course, to read between the lines
of this extraordinary communication is plainly
to see that the petitioners are putting the
screws upon the President, are sternly remark
ing to him that if he still refuses to write the
longed-for letter they will pass the word all
along the Hill line: "Knife Cleveland"
What is the President going'to do about it !?

himself to give Fellows such boost, what pre-
vents him from rendering Hill a similar SER
