TIM BER FIRES.
The Forests of Idaho and Montana
Being Consumed.

WASHINGTON, August 2.-Acting Land
Commissioner Stone received the follow
ing telegram from Governor Shoup of
Idaho Territory. dated Boise City, Aug
ust 2:
The five hundred dollars authorized
last Wednesday by Secretary Noble, is
inadequate to suppress the forest fires
which are raging in several counties.
Millions of feet of timber and large
amount of private property have been
destroyed. A telegram from Ketchum,
Idaho, says they are surrounded by fire,
and fifty men have been fighting it for
the last forty-eight hours. Can you
assist us?
In response to this appeal the Secre-
tary authorized the expenditure of an
additional $500. e.
IN FURNACE OF FIRE.
CHICAGO, August "A special from
Helena, Mont, says: The forest fires
which have been prevailing in Montana
for a week show no signs of abatement.
From Helena west, north and SOU b a
great black cloud of smoke hangs over the
country, and for six days sun has not
been able to pierce the darkness. Gran
vile Stuart, than whom no man in Mon
tana is better able to judge, estimates the
damage each day the fire continues at half
q million dollars. At Missoula, streets,
buildings and sidewalks are covered with
ashes. The air is like a blast from a
furnace. The atmosphere is filed with
crisp embers that have descended like a
light fall of snow. The fire now raging
in Boulder cafion, near Bernice, has been
the most destructive of property. The
larger part of the cordwood consumed in
this blaze, was contracted to the Ana
conda smelter. In the neighborhood of
the great mining camp of Phillipsburg
the damage has been immense, while
the town of Granite is in imminent
danger of being destroyed. The noun
tains about the city are all ablaze, and,
while no danger to the city is feared, the
heat and sitting smoke are almost un-
bearable.

Iomhar,ly,s Iron Grown.

When Napoleon 1. was crowned
King OF Italy at Milan in 1905 he
placed the iron crown of the kings of
Lombardy upon his head with his own
hands, exclaiming: "Dieu me Ia
dome: gare a qui Ia touche." c"God.
has given it to me, beware who
touches.") This, according to Scott,
was the motto attached to the crown
by it's ancient owners The crown
takes it's name from the narrow iron
band within it, which is about three
eiglths of an inch broad and one-tcnth
of an inch in thickness.
Tradition says it was made out of one
of the nails used ut the crucifxion and
given to Constantine by his mother,
Helena, the discoverer Of the cross, to
protect him in battle. Afterward it
was used in the coronations of the
Lombard kings, primarily at that of
Agilulfus at Milan in the year 591.
The o is kept in the cathedral of
Monza. The outer circuit is composed
Of six equal pieces of beaten gold,
joined together by hinges and set with
large rubies, emeralds and sapphires
on u ground of blue-gold enamel.
Within the circuit is "the iron CROWN"
said to have no speck of rust upon ii,
although it has been exposed for fiji
teen hundred wears.

The Sunday Newspapers.

Professor Swing says: "If it were
not for the Sunday newspapers there
are thousands of people who would
pass u positively idle if not a harmful
Sunday. Is it not better that many
men should read their paper Sunday
afternoon rather than to haunt the So
looms, drinking and card-playing. pos
sibly gambling? I think So"
1t was for holding such dangerous
sentiments us those that he was cast out
many years ago. But his Punishment
was a liberation which won him more
influence and larger congregations.
There are many ministers who do not
see as clearly as Professor Swing.
They have an idea that if there were
no Sunday papers those who now read
them would go to church. Unfortu-
nately, men Y not limited to those
two ways of spending Sunday. They
can drink, game. go fishing or wear ont
the hours in idle and Improbable Cos
sip. 1t is better that they should read the
news, the literature, science and moral
ity that they find in the papers than
do any of those other things.-Chicago

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

S"Mne Figures On the Cost OF Running
Our New Navy.
Commodore Dewey, chief OF the bureau
Of equipment and recruiting of the Navy
department., has made. his annual report
to Secretary Tracy. He asks for an in
crease in the appropriation over the past
year OH account OF new vessels. These
vessels have n greater steamer capacity
than the old ones, and thus the fuel bill has
Dolphin used Ss.ii5, 900 worth oil coal. and
as it is proposed to keep twenty-five
vessels in commission all the time the re-
port estimates the cost of coal to be xS15..
600 per annum.
On June 3O last there were 8, 147 enlist
ell men and apprentices in the navy. The
report recommends q more rigid stand
ard regarding the citizenship of those who
enlist, and says that hereafter every man
or boy who offers to enlist should be native
born Americans or q naturalized Ameri-
can, or declare his intention to become q
citizen.
At a session of the international marine
conference. the other day, three important
amendments were adopted. The first was
OH motion OF the delegate from the Neither
lands, as follows:
In making any course authorized or
required by these regulations a steamship
under way shall indicate that course to
any other ship which is in sight by the
following signals on the whistle-namely,
one short blast to mean 81 am directing
my course to ~starboard;'' two short blasts
to mean ~ am directing my course to
port;" three short blasts to mean 81 am
going full speed astern." The use of these
signals is optional, but il they are used the
course of the ship must be in accordance
with the signal made.
The second amendment was on motion
OF the delegate from Great Britain, pro.
viding that In clear weather at sea no
vessel shall attempt to cross the bows of
the leaders Of any squadron of three or
more ships Of war in regular formation
nor unnecessarily pass through the lines
of such squadron. The third requires all
towing steamers to display an adj
dttional bright white light six feet above
OF below the regular lights.
Mr.. Window sustains Treasurer Huston's
claim that money sent by him to National
hunks and others In exchange for silver
certificates or legal tender notes Of large
denominations and deposited with the sub
treasurers Is government money until 1t
reaches the cOnsfgnee and that under its
contract the United States Express COM
pany must carry it ct contract rates. This
is regarded as an important decision aud
will affect the receipts Of the express
company considerably. Under this con.
tract \ package Of money sent from the
treasury to st. Paul or an equal distance
would be charged but 10 ceuts, while
under commercial rates the company
would get $1.25 COR the same service. The
company declined to carry money at the
former rates, thus raising the question
which the Secretary has just decided.

Bits Of Wisdom.

There is no secret of success but
work.
The mind of a good man is a king
dom to him, and he can always enjoy It.
Many run after felicity like a man
hunting for his hat while it is on his
head.
Take pleasure in your work. A task
which appears distasteful at first sight
soon becomes pleasure.
Endurance is more valuable than
c%leverness. It is the patient, steady
plodders who gain and keep fortunes.
When benignity and gentleness reign
within We are in least danger from
without; every person and every occur
enc is beheld in the most favorable
light.
A graceful behavior toward others is
q constant source of pleasure; it pleases
others because it indicates respect for
their personality, and it gives tenfold
more pleasure to ourselves.
