THE cHoRUs FOR BETTER ROADS

THERE'S a growing demand for bet
ter roads all over the country Gov.
Beaver of Pennsylvania has recently
urged this matter i'll strong English
on the Legislature. The Vermont
press insists that the state will pros
per in proportion to the increase of
excellent roads through its beautiful
scenery. 1t is insisted upon that they
shall be smooth and hard at all sea-
sons, never muddy, without rough
ness in riding, with no obstruction in
hauling, so that people can traverse
them with security and enjoyment.
There is no reason why the finished
highways which form one of the at
fractions of the old world to the
American tourist should not be found
everywhere in the better settled parts
of our own country. No public in
vestment is likely to bring in better
and happier returns to the people.
President Eliot says that our roads
and streets are the worst he has seen
in any civilized country, even III Al
geria, and that roads and parks are
the instruments of public happiness
which our own people have too little
considered The simultaneous inter
est in this subject in different parts
of the country indicates that a public
defect is already widely noted and
commented on, and this is the first
step toward change for the better

THE LAST TO CROSS THE SUSPEN-
SION BRIDGE.

1t was fortunate that no one was
on the Niagara suspension bridge
when it went down. The last man
across had an experience which he
does not care to go through again
DR.. !. M Hodge, of Niagara Falls, \.
V, started across the bridge about
midnight on his return from visiting
a patient on the Canadian side. Be
lieving the bridge to be perfectly safe,
he started without any fear. When
but a short distance from the Cana
dian side he realized that something
was wrong. AS he neared the centre
he was Obliged to get down on his
hands and knees and creep along. At
times he did not dare to move. The
bridge, he says, rocked like a boat in
a heavy sea, and at times it seemed
TO tip up almost on its very edge.
Not for an instant did the doctor
dare let go the iron railing, but he
/ found several places where it was
/ bent so that he was obliged to feel
/ his way around. There was nolight
on the bridge, the night was very
dark, and to add still further to his

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN RUSSIA.

The amount of civil and religious
liberty enjoyed in the land of the
Gar may well be reckoned from the
recently reported case OF Pastor
Ruchteschel He is pastor of the
Evangelical or Lutheran church at
St. Petersburg, and is also chaplain
of the German hospital there. In the
latter capacity he made the acqua1n-
lance of a Russian patient who had
been admitted to the hospital. This
patient was much concerned for the
safety of his soul. and not having
found satisfaction in the dogmas of
the Greek church, appealed to the
Lutheran pastor for counsel. For
prudential reasons the pastor hes1-
tated; but the patient was so lmpor-
tunate and evidently sincere IN his
craving for spiritual consolation that
he finally yielded and expounded to
him the plan of salvation as inter
preted bv Luther. This satisfied the
Russian, and he begged the pastor
to administer the holy sacrament and
receive him into the Evangelical
church. The pastor complied, feeling
it a religious duty which he could
not avoid; but he complied with tear
and trembling, and with reason. he
was quickly arrested and thrown IN
to prison, and now finds life-servl-
tude in Siberia threatening him for
his offence. And it is the last quar-
ter of the nineteenth century, too
not the age of Nero.-[New York

THE SWEET WORD "HOME.'

tender sorrows and the reflection of
fen thousand fond memories. Home
When I see it in book or newspaper
that word seems to rise and sparkle,
and leap, and thrill, and whisper, and
chant. and pray, and weep. 1t gilt
ters like a shield 1t springs up like
a fountain. 1t thrills like song 1t
wrinkles like star. 1t leaps like a

sings like an angel. And if some lexi-
cographer, urged on by spirit from
beneath. should seek to cast forth
that word from the language the
children would come forth and hide
it under garlands of wild flowers,
and the wealthy would come forth to
cover it up with their diamonds and
pearls; and the kings would hide 1t
under their crowns, and after Herod
had hunted its life from Bethlehem to
Egypt, and utterly given up the
search, some bright, warm day 1t
would flash from among the gems,
and breathe from among the flowers,
and toss from among the coronets,
and the world would read it bright,
and fair, and beautiful, and resonant
as before. Home Home! Home!-

THE REsTLEssNEss OF OLD AGE

Those who have been much with
the aged have observed in them a
chatting against the infirmities of their
years, which expresses itself IN rest
lessness and a desire for change
They grow weary of the inactivity
which has succeeded the busy time
when they bore the heat and burden
of the day, and SO, sometimes, they
wander here and there, dropping IN
| to visit q friend or talking with a
chance acquaintance, trying thus to
while away the tedious hours. In
| mistaken kindness and unkind affec-
ton we often Cypress dear, aged peo-
pie by our very care. They dislike
SUPERVISION. The tender watchful-
ness which to us seems due to their
physical feebleness, as well as a tit
return for their care for us IN earlier
| DAYS, is by them resented as restraint.
1t annoys them. Then, too, we try
| to take all the work out OF their
hands and that they don't like. No
body who has been active and useful
enjoys the feeling of being laid on the
shelf
Grandfather step is uncertain and
his arm less vigorous than OF old {;
| but he possesses a rich treasure OF
experience and he likes to be consult
ed. 1t is his privilege to give advice
his privilege, too, at times to go INTO
the field and work with the young
est, renewing his youth as he keeps
barely up with the hearty men not
half his age.
Grandmother does not want to be
left out of the household work When
the DAYS come around for picking
and preserving, and the domestic
force is pressed into service, who IS so
eager and full of interest as she? 1t
is cruel to override her decisions, to
put her aside because 'she will be
tired" OF course she will be tired,
but she enjoys the fatigue, and rests
the sooner for the thought that she
is still of some use in the world.
To those whose homes are hOnOred
by the presence of an aged parent VIC
would say, deal very gently with
those who are on the dOwn-hlll O
life. Your own time is coming to be
where they are now. You, too, are
"stepping westward" Soothe the
restlessness of age by amusement, by
consideration, by non-lnterference
and by allowing plenty of occupation
to fall into the hands that long fort

OF INTEREST TO SETTLERS.
A Question Regarding the Status Of
Union Pacific Lands.

The new commissioner of the general land
Office, Judge Croft, has been called upon to
pass upon question of considerable moment to
settlers along the Northern Pacific railroad.
Portions Of this road were not completed within
the time prescribed by the law granting the
land to the company. In consequence of the
failure Of the company to comply with the law
their lists Of selections Of land opposite to such
portions Of the road have not been approved
by the land Office. The company is unable
to give title, and until the lands are declared
forfeited the government can give no title.
Bills have been introduced in Congress to for
felt these lands, but they have never become
laws. 1t has been considered by the land office
that this matter is pending in Congress and
therefore, no steps can be taken. The attor-
ney Of the company. however, recently asked
Commissioner Croft to have the company's
lists Of selections approved speedily as possi-
BILE. Judge Croft, however, after a careful ex-
animation Of the matter, refused to comply
with this request, and states that he does not
wish to change the policy of the land Office in
this respect. This decision will cause the set
tlement Of the entire question to be deferred
until Congress takes some action

GEN. BCSSEY TALKS.
His Comments on the Published inter.
view With Corporal Tanner.

The attention Of Gen. Bussey. the assistant
secretary Of the interior, was called today by a
STAR reporter TO the statement in a published
interview with Corporal Tanner (printed else
whsre), in which interview the corporal init
mates that Gen. Bussey's decisions are written
by a member Of the board of pension appeals.
Gen. Bussey remarked that it was hardly neces-
sary to make such a statement, as any one
familiar with the business of a public Office
would know that the head Of the Office could
not do all the work himself.
while it is true" he added, "that my deci-
sions are written by others, yet they are pre-
pared in accordance with my instructions and
after consultation with me. 1 could not pre-
tend to do the work of writing out these deci-
sions, but can and do examine the cases. and
upon the facts set forth and in accordance with
the law reach a conclusion which is set forth
in the decision. As to Mr.. Tanner not being
able to find my decision reversing his "a order in
the pension office files have only to say that this
order formed a portion of an opinion in a case,
and as it was not elaborated as fully as 1 de-
sired, withdrew it and substituted another
decision. which set forth at length my views
relative to the order, and gave the reasons for
resembling it. l made this decision in the
regular course of business, and not especially

If She's Pretty, She's All Right.

VERONA, BE-, Oct. ia big real estate
sensation is developing in this city. Fifty
years ago, when the gold excitement was bring
ing thousands here, Douglas McTavish came to
seek his fortune. He settled in Victoria and
bought real estate in what is now the heart of
the city. He married an Indian woman by
whom he had one child, girl McTavish and
his wife both died few years later and the
little girl was left to the care of strangers. She
grew up to womanhood, married, and has been
living here ever since. totally unconscious that
her father had left anything of value behind
him. Lately friend begsn,to look the matter
up. McTavish's will was discovered in an old
safe of the Catholic bishop, where it had lain
for years. The will gave his daughter prop
erty now valued at nearly half q million dol
lars. The records. upon search being made,
show that the young woman is the rightful
owner. Il 10 said that the Hudson Bay COM
pauy. apparently losing sight of the fact that
the property had been sold to McTayish, has
been selling 1t again, and nov some Of the
finest business edifces In the city are erected
upon the property.
