DO not CAVIL-BUT AID.

Last August a few of the enter
pr!sing men of Po1t Townsend in
vested nearly $1,000 in purchasing
the steamer Libby and thereby es-
tahl!shing direct communication be-
tween Port Townsend and Whatcom
and tre Islands. The gentlemen
who made this investment, did so
with view to directing the trade of
Wbatcom and the Islands to this city
rather than have it go to Seattle as
formerly. The line has been run at
q financial loss, so far as the receipts
of the steamer are concerned, but
they have been benefited to GER
tain extent by the increased sales at
their places of business. There is
no way, however, for the steamboat
company TO direct the trade only to
the stores of the stockholders Of the
company, nor is there any desire on
the part OF the men Interested in the
company to do so; they have gone
into the affair with an eye single TO
beneftting Port Townsend as a busi-
ness point, evea though 1t may be at
direct pecuniary loss to themselves.
But with view to reducing this loss
as much as possible, they have with
i'll the past few weeks increased the
rates OF fare between points on the
line and, as a result, some OF the
Sound papers have been heaping
maledictIons upon the heads of the
stockholders. That the managers
were justified under the circum-
stances, no right thinking person
viii deny. Every c%poration, as
we'll as firm, has an iGdisputable
right to increase the tariff If it will
save them from bankruptcy. Now
for the relief. Instead of half a
dozen men bearing the buTdc1 ,oi
this steamboat line, let there be more
of our citizens, whose interests are
in this city and whose business is in
creased by this Whatcom trade, sub
scribe for the stock. If the stock OF
the company is increased they may
be able to reduce the fares between
WhatcOm and Port Townsend, and
with this reduction increased travel
must follow, and at least portion OF
the money which the people of that
country spend Will fall into the cof-
fers of our merchants. On the con-
trary, if the whole responsibility Is
to rest on the few men who now have
charge of i, the enterprise will be
abandoned and the boat sold, and
the trade instead of coming to this
place will go to Seattle, for there are
people there just waiting for the
opportunity TO make such Il purchase
and Te-establish this line. We are
afraid that some of our business men
are standing in their own light in
this matter, for, if our merchants
want to make this city the metropolis
of the northwest, they must keep
their eyes open for every feeder, and
when they see the chance grasp it
and then, when once you grasp IT.
don't let go.

THE NAVAL COMMISSION

At present all the cities on the
Sound are agitated over the advent
of the naval commission. The guess
ton as TO the location of the Navy
Yard, is not only az important one
to the Sound cities, but also to the
people at large The location Of a
navy yard is one that requires con-
siderable study. You cannot remove
it if a mistake is made, without a
great outlay-therefor it is neces-
ssry to select proper site in the be-
ginning,
The commission has an unpleasant
duty to perform, but we believe they
will do it fearlessly. The men COM
posing the board are known to be
men of good ability and well up in
the line of their profession; so that
it is believed that they Will not com
NIT an error IN selecting a site.
The citizens can rest assured that
their interests in this matter are be-
ing well cared for. Our prominent
men are alive to the situation, and
will not permit any questions, perti@
nent to locating the navy yard here,
unpresented. Captains who have
navigated vessels in nearly every
harbor in the cities of the world.
most emphatically designate Port
Townsend as the only proper site for
navy yard on the Sound. This
common and general expression of
nautical men will have great weight
with the gentlemen composing the
commission. Seattle's miniature lake,
Washington, she can use to float
toy ships upon, but not the great
men of war of the United States.
We want 4 place for the navy yard
where the ships can get out of and
into, at all times, without difficulty.
Tacoma and Seattle are too far down
the Sound to be eligible sites. Place
the navy yard at either of these two
places, and the day may come when
we would have to transport the men
of war, by rail, to get them into deep
water.
Port Townsend is the natural 10
cation for a navy yard. The other
cities are making an effort to get the
navy yard located in their vicinity
only for commercial reasons, and not
because they have the proper site
for the snme. They must remember
that their stories Will have to pass
the scrutiny of seamen, and not ma
rines.
Olympia is having an attack of the
railroad fever, and begins to think it
will be great center of travel. The
citizens Of tho capital city are ex-
cited over the rumor that three pro-
jected railroads are to run through
their town.-Tacoma Nelcs
Senator Garfield las let contract
to Mcnamara, Ford, Turner and
Tracy for the completion of three
miles of slashirg, clearing and grub

and Navigation road from Whatcom

contract, which Will be completed by
April 1st. Contracts for similar
work will probably be let tomorrow.

A Blue Beard and His Wives.

A Boston paper tells OF IN old
burying ground in a southern New
Hampshire town where there is an in
teresting group OF seven tombstones.
Each of six of them marks a little
strip of earth where rest the remains
of one of the wives of one man, and
the seventh is tho grave of the Blue
Beard himself. The opitaphs of the
wives are short and simple enough,
but the fifth begins underneath the
name and record of the woman's birth
and death, these words: 1.-The Peace

what the circumstances were under
which she exercised her benevolent
art; but no doubt she had to be q

Seeing story about old Stephen
Girard the other day reminded me Of
an incident that shows one of his PEI
culiarities. Girnrd had drayman who
was decidedly poor man. One day
the drayman, who was an industrious,
bright fellow, with a good many
mouths to fill at home, was heard to
remark that he wished he was rich.
"Whats that?" sharply said Girard.

the man. II was only wishing was
RICH" ''Well, why don't you get richp''
said the millionaire, harshly. Il don't
know how without money!" returned
the drayman. You don't need money!"
said Girs.rd "Well, if you will tell me
how to get rich without money won't
let the grass grow before trying it"
returned the other. There is going
to be ship load of conflscated tea
sold at auction tomorrow at the
wharf; 20 down there and buy it in

laughed. Il have no money to buy a
ship Load of tea WITH" he said, "You
don't need any money, 1 tell you"
snapped the old man. go down and
bid on the whole cargo and then come
to me-" The next day the drayman
went down to the sale. A large crowd
of retailers were present, and the auc.
tioneer said that those bidding would
have the privilege of taking one case
or the whole ship load, and that the
bidding would be on the pound.
He then began the sale. A re-
tail grocer started the bid.

him. On seeing this the crowd gazed
with no small amount of surprise.
When the case was knocked down to
the drayman the auctioneer said he
supposed the buyer only desired the
one case. IN take the whole ship
load" coolly returned the successful
bidder. The auctioneer was astonish.
ed, but on some one whispering to him
that it was Girard's man who was the
speaker, his manner changed, and he
said he supposed it was all right. The
news soon spread that Girard was buy
ing tea in large quantities, and the
next day the price rose several cents.
go and sell your tea," said Girard to
the drayman the next day. The dray.
man was shrewd, and he went out and
made contracts with several brokers
to take the stock at shade below the
market price, thereby making quick
sale. 1t a few hours he was worth

Doctors disagree, and always have

day required by nature for the support
of the human system. A French
psychologist says six pounds of solid
and liquid food is the golden mean be-
tween excess and improper abstinence;
and another, who agrees with him,
the proportion of solids should be
about two pounds. An eminent Amer
lean authority puts the total at five
and u half pounds, of which two and a
half pounds should be solids. They
all state the kind and qualities of
food which they consider most nutri-
tious.
1t should be borne in mind, however,
that these learned professors expert.

fore, if it be true that what is one
mans meat is another mans poison, '
neither their quantitativc nor their
qualitative directions are of universal
application. 1t is our own opinion that
every stomach, like every heart, best
''knows its own burden" and that the
burden it can carry without incon-
venience is the true gage of it's healthy

There can be little doubt that a mo-

4 Ttresomc Operation Which q Western
Woman Calls Lost Work.
A farmers wife in the Western
Farmer Says that she can make hun
ared pounds of butter a weak easier
and better than she could make twenty
pounds fifteen years ago. She has not
worked a pound of butter over in two
years. Her process is as follows:
Havo your milk brought : in and
strained into cans as soon as MIXED.
Submerge them in tank of
water; if you have no ice let them
stand twcnty-four hours. run off your
milk and keep the cream in cool
place until you have enough to churn.
Then place where it will be at least
sixty-four or sixty-fve degrees, to
sour. Do not churn above sixty-four
degrees or the grains of butter will be
too large, causing white spots. Draw
off what buttermilk you want to use,
throw in a handful of salt and a pail
of water, turn few times and draw
off; then wash again. We give two
thorough washings that way with two
pailfuls of water and a little salt
each time; the last time clean
as dry as possible. Add salt at the
rate of one and one-quarter ounces to a
pound of butter turning few times
to be sure that it is thoroughly
worked through the butter. Let it
stand in the churn one hour, draw of
the extra brine and turn the churn
carefully until it is gathered into balls.
Pack tightly in jars or tubs. filing a
little more than full, cutting off with a
string dipped in brine. Butter made
in this way, shipped fresh, will bring
the highest market price, and is a
pleasure to make. Thoroughly scald
both churn and packer, then soak in
cold water. - >,

THE PITT DIAMOND.
1t Was Originally Bought for an Amour,
Equivalent to &I2O.OOO.

1t Was Originally Bought for an Amount
Equivalent to 100000.
Pitt heard of q prodigious stone
weighing APO carats. and the price
asked for it was equally prodigious,
being no less than 100000 pagodas Ga
pagoda equals about 1857. The offer
evidently had it's attraction for Pitt,
and he transmitted model of the
stone, with a description of it, to his
English agent, Sir Stephen Evance
But the magnitude of the proposed pur-
chase alarmed Evance. "Wee are
now" he writes in reply, ''gott in a
war;. The French King has his hand
and heart full. soc he can't buy such a
stone. There is noe Prince in Europe
can buy lit, SOC wuld advise you not to
meddlc with it, But P lit still kept
up negotiations with the owner, Jaur-
chund. who came in person to Fort St.
George to tempt the Governor. The
price asked, however, was so excessive
that Pitt despaired of becoming pos
sessed Of the prize, and moro in wan
tonness than with any intention of
making a serious bid, he offered 10000
pagodas for it. This broke off the ne
gotiations for the time; but with that
persistence with which Easterns al
ways show in money transactions,
Jaurchund. after an interval of somo
weeks, returned to the charge. This
time he protested himself willing to
take 100000 pagodas. and at subse-
quent meeting, after much haggling.
Pitt beat him down to $4,000. But
even this was more by 10000 pagodas
than Pitt had determined to give, and
again Jaurchund took his leave-not
for long. however, for in an hour he
sent in word to say that he would take
$4,000. Upon this Pitt offered to split
the difference. But though an Orient
al will submit to be beaten down in
his price time after time, he likes, at
the close of the bargain, to think that
tho yielding has not been altogether
on his side. Pitt offered 47,500. No,
said Jaurchund-nothin would induce
him to take less than 48, 600. Knowing
his man and the ways of Eastern trad
ers, Pitt gave in to this demand, and
became possessed of the largest known
diamond in the world for a sum which
was about equivalent to f24, 600. =

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. ? - Thursdays
events on the programme for the grand
circuit meeting attracted about 10, 600
people. The track was in beautiful con-
dition and the weather generally favor
able for good work A slight
breeze from the north swept over
the grounds early in the afternoon
but soon died away. The sensational
events on the programme were the two
single heats to be trotted by Axtell and
Guy to beat their own records. The three
year-old colt Axteu was driven by it's own
er, c. ". Williams, of Independence,
La. The colt was given a good
start, and with running mate
made the mile without skip in 2:14M,
beating its Minneapolis record of 2:l5h by
