climate, exposure and soil A dry, cold
climate produces more brilliant foliage
than one that is damp and warm. This
is the reason that our American autunns

leaves that even science cannot explain
For instance, why one Of two trees grow

having the same exposure, should take
on brilliant rod in the fall md tho
other should turn yellow; or why one
branch of tree should be highly col

A LIES TWILIGHTs.

When the lingering hours were ladencd
With the spoils of II summer day,
And II wreck of light and beauty
On the far horizon lay;
When the sky grew soft with twilight,
Ere the stars began to throng,
She passed me lightly hummng
A snatch OF n school day song;
And the dream still moves my fancy,
That dreamed with heart agluw,
AS she tripped away to the sunset,
To the sunset long ago.
AS lovers part we parted,
Where the winding paths divide,
When the evening clouds were golden
Aud the day grew dreamy eyed
Her face was bright with bushes,
And eyes with smiles and tears,
While the sunlight fell around us
Like dream Of coming years,
And the air seemed hushed with music
That whispered soft and low,
AS she trippcd away to the sunset,
To the sunset long ago.
There's spot where silent shadows,
When the sun is brightest, lie;
There's grave beneath the naples,
Where the wild winds sink and sigh,
And there | often wander
With saddened heart, alone,
When the dewy night. wind murmurs
or the noisy day that's flown,
And recall the dreams | cherished
Ere the world grew dark with woe,
When they bore her away 10 the sunset,
To the sunset long ago.
There are shadows falling round me
And the darkness soon will ci,sc,
For my star is swiftly sinking
To the night from which II rosc,
And often hear the whispers
OF lowering spirit bands
And the weird and airy muslr
That floats from spiri. lands.
Yet each dream in my fancy Fingers,
Tint | dreamed so long ago,
AS moved away to the sunset
To the sunsets dying glow,

England's Navy Far From Perfect.

LONDON, Aug. l4.-As a spectacular
display the grand naval review a week
ago was undoubtedly a great success, but
now that the clorification of the navy in
the English press is all over some atten-
ton is being paid to the more practical
results of the review, and these are far
from being as brilliant as were the spec
tacular features. Enough is known 10
prove that not a tenth of the damage
caused by the moderately heavy sea, and
perhaps the awkward handling, have been
made known to the public. The virtual
disabling of the I~nflexible, Northumber-
land and HeIo could not be concealed, but
in addition to the probably exaggerated re-
ports of the sailors there are grounds for
the belief that more than one coptaiu was
seriously alarmed Tor the safety of his
vessel.
The torpedo boats are known by their
crews as death traps, and there are more
assertions from them than from all the
rest OF the navy combined. In fact, it is
acknowledged by experts in naval con
struction hat Notwithstanding nearly a
quarter of a century's experience with
ironclads the problem Of combining eff
~ficiency and seaworthiness has yet to be
solved. 1t is noticeable that there is a
cessation OF articles reminding the peo-
pie of the United States how easy it
would be for the British fleet to steam
over and lombard New York in case Of a
repetition Of the Behring Sea ''outrages."

BERLIN, Aug. 1.-THE North Ger.
ma Gazette. Bismarck's organ, referring
to the impending meeting of the Ger.
mar Colonial company says angry pro
tests against the action of the British Of
fcials is politically undesirable. England,
the Gazette says, will eventually set mat
tiers right. If Germany had been con,
suited she might have pointed out weighty
objections against the German Emin re-
lief expedition. Germany would reject
an expedition adopting political aims or
e%ncroaching on British spheres or inter-
ests. England's friendship is of more
value to Germany than all the expedition
could obtain on the Upper Nile. If DR..
Peters intends forcibly or jointly with
Erin Pasha to seize the province secured
to Turkey and Egypt by the treaties the
enterprise will fall under the ope ration of
the laws Of the country whose interests
are preiudiced.

PoRT HURON, Mich, Aug. l4-Col.
Smiley, of Richmond, Va, a prominent
leader in the prohibition movement, was
engaged recently to work up the senti-
ment in this city. He came recommend
ed by Congressman Bliss, ex Congress
man Tarsney and other well known per
sons. Last week Sunday he occupied the
pulpit of the Methodist church and Mon.
day evening the revival was begun. The
meeting started out successfully and there
was a feeling that Col. Smiley was the
man for whom the people long had
waited. However, on Friday the eminent
prohibitionist visited Huronia Beach and
the ozone proved too much for him. He
returned to the city. called at several
drug stores, where he took something for
his stomach's sake, and by night he was
bowling drunk. Saturday was a repeti
ton OF the disgraceful spectacle. but yes
terday the man was secreted somewhere
until the paroxysm passes over. Smiley
is a talented man, but it transpires he is
given to making these breaks.

SAN Francisco, Aug. 14.-Justice
Field was seen by an Associated Press re
porter on his arrival here at noon. He
said for the last two months all sorts of
reports have reached him that Judge
Terry had threatened to subject him %
some form of indignity should he meet
him. This fact caused the United States
marshal to decide to provide such protec-
ton as he could during Justice Fields
stay IN the state.
AT a large eating house this morn
ing" said Justice Field, Il took a seat at
the end of a table while Nagle sat at one
side of me. Terry and his wife came in
soon after. As soon as Mrs. Terry saw
me she vent out of the room, as | after

her satchel. Judge Terry arose and L
supposed he intended to accompany her.

Bought John Brown,s scaaoId.

CHARLEsrowN, W. Va, Aug. IA
John NJ. Coyle & Co. have sold to James
B. Colt, of Washington, ID. G., the lum-
Der of the scaffold on which John Brown
was hanged on Friday, Dec. 30, 1859.
After the execution the county sold the

rell, a carpenter, who built a porch of it
on the property of a Mr.. Sheets in 1860.
The property was bought by John NJ.
Coyle. who organized a company and be-
gan to negotiate with admirers OF John
Brown for the sale of the scaffold lumber.
The lumber is accompanied by the afhda-
Wits of all the parties through whose hands
it has passed since 1859. Joseph IL.
Cockrell, son of David II. Cockrell, has
framed it into a scaffold of the same size,
shape and form as the original scaffold.
Tho lumber has been kept under lock and
guarded as a great treasure since 1887.
Mr.. Colt shipped it. to Washington.

Five DAYS without Food.

HELENA, M. T., Aug. l4.-John
Bloom and Louis Sif, Just returned from
a trip to the Ceur d Alenes, gives the de-
tails of a thrilling experience. On July
30 they left Murray, |. t., for Missoula,
NJ. T., with two wagons and four horses.
They had been warned at Murray that
the journey would be dangerous on &C
count of forest fires raging along the
line from there to Thompson. A lew
hours after they started the roar OF flames
was heard and they urged their teams as
rapidly as possible. The speed of the
horses vas slow compared with the ra
pidity at which the fire travelled, aided by
a good breeze. Finally they were over
taken, and leaving their team in a deep
rayine, ran for shelter in a deserted tun-
mel which happened to be in the dense
timber. Their place OF refuge wa en-
tirely surrounded and it was five days be-
fore they were able to get out. The
worst phase of the imprisoned was that
they were entirely shut off from their
wagons containing provisions, and it was
impossible for them to obtain food.
There was a small spring in the tunnel
from which they obtained water, but
we're without food nearly all five days of
their confinement. When the flames had
burned out they found that two of their
horses persisted and the other two were
in n sad plight.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 1.-The news
of the shooting of Judge Terry at Lath.
rop caused intense excitement here.
Mrs. Terry was formerly Sarah Althea
Hill who through a long litigation claimed
to be the wife of ex-senator Sharon.
Terry was her attorney. Judge Field de.
cided that she was not .Sharon's wife.
Sarah denounced Field in open court as
corrupt. Field ordered her removed
from the court when Terry drew a knife
in her defense and both were taken to Jail
for six months for contempt of court.
This was in September last and to-da y
was Terry's first meeting with Field since.
That there would be a killing when they
met was generally believed owing to
Terry's record. He came to California in
l849. In 1856 he stabbed a member of a
vigilance committee and came near being
strung up. In 1859 he killed Senator
Broderick as a result OF political differ

Terry's Body.

STOCKTON, Cal Aug. l4.-The coro
ner arrived here at 1910 to-day with
Terry's body in a box covered with a
white cloth. Mrs. Terry rode in the ex-
press car with the remains accompanied
by several friends of the deceased. When
the body was taken off the car she follow
ed and rode with in the express wagon TO
the morgue. She was distressed and said
it was a cowardly murder of an unarmed
man.
An inquest will be held tonight. Dep
uty Marshal Nagle was brought here in a
buggy by Constable Walker of Lathrop.
At 1880 when the overland train left La
throp after the shooting the constable got
in the car and arrested Nagle. He rode
with him to Tracy and there took a buggy
Tn Stockton to avoid the crowds. When
NaRle reached the Jail he alighted from
the buggy aud came with a coat covering
his handcutfed hands. Nagle requested
to be interviewed.
He said: Il am a United States mar
shal and simply did my duty as an Of
fcer." He was. locked up alone and soon
after sent for a local attorney and his pis-
tol was given to the %iailer. 1t is a large
a. caliber Colts revolver of the old pat
tern with two charges exploded. Nagle
was very cool but looked pale and deter
mined. On being searched he gave up
everything without comment.

The Meeting of the Judges.


LATHRoP, Aug. l4-Upon the arrival
of the southern overland train here at
7.20 a. ~, United States Supreme Judge
Stephen j. Field and Deputy United
States Marshal David Nagle walked into
the depot dining room for breakfast and
sat down side by side. Soon after Judge
David 5. Terry and vile came in also.
Mrs. Terry evidently recognized Justice
Field. and did not sit down but retired to
the train for some unknown purpose.
Before reaching it, however. and as soon
as she had left the dining room, Judge
ing over him gently slapped his face once.
At this j%uncture Deputy Marshal Nagle
arose from his seat and shot Judge Terry,
apparently through the heart. As he
was falling the deputy marshal shot
again, but missed him, the bullet going
through the floor. Both shots were fired
in very quick succession.
Judge Terry had hardly fallen when
Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of his body
and threw herself upon it. Then ensued
a scene of the widest excitement. PEG.
pie rushed from the dining room. Dur
ing this time Justice Field aud Deputy
Marshal Maggie retreated to the sleeping
car, where they were securely locked
within. Before the train pulled out Con
stable Walker entered the sleeper and
was carried away on board the train. He
informed the spectators that he knew his
duty and would perform it. During the
time the train was standing at the depot
Mrs. Terry was running wildly alternately
from the body of her husband to the
sleeper, demanding admittance that she
might slap Justice Fields face and at the
same time begging that they be detained
IND have their examination here. Pre-
vious to the entrance of Constable Walker
into the sleeper Sheriff Purois and the
deputy of Tanislau's county had already
taken charge of Deputy United States
Marshal Nagle.
After the shooting Deputy United
States Marshal Nagle backed up against
the wall OF the dining room and warned
everyone not to arrest him, saying he was
a United States officer in the discharge of
bis duty. There was no semblance of an
attempt to modest him at any time. Con-
stable Walker took Deputy Nagle from
the train at Tracy, proceeded with him to
Stockton, where he is now IN Jail. States
Attorney White ordered the arrest of JUS
tice Field upon his arrival in San Francis
co and t~elegraphed the order to the her
if of San Francisco.
