A correspondent Of the New York
Tribune makes plea for an American
school Of manners for the Five Thous-
aud, which he hopes may be something
quite different from the school in which
the Four Hundred are training them
selves and their progeny.
The Four Hundred and the Five
Thousand They are not drop in this
great American bucket. II going

the sixty.three Millions. We may ex'
meet that in this school the student will
be taught that 1t is not good manners to
spit tobacco juice on the floor of car OF
place Of amusement, or even on the
street; to 'hog0 four whole seats in {
railway car; to rattle your programme
or to talk through the play; to black
mail tradesmen by demanding Of then
subscriptions to worthy objects in which
they feel no interest; to do general!
those things which arouse all the orig
iual sin there is in men and women.
When this school opens the enroll
ment may not be large, but it will havO

H,r storio. About OIL Development.


The Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette re-
marks that "the Richie county oil
boom bursts like a bubble" The IN
rELLlGEScER has watched with interest
the effort to reach the oil which is be-
lieyed to be in Richie county and
which may yet be found in paying
quantities. Noreliable information this
newspaper was able 10 get tailed with
the rosy reports which found their way
to Pittsburgh.
Somebody who had his own interest
to serve has done the oil development
of Richie harm by circulating extraya'
CANT statements. The same is true Of
other parts Of West Virginia, notably
the Marion and Peasants fields, where
there has been handsome production,
but no such oceans OF oil as reports have
represented.
In the eye Of man who wishes to see

ness, but this plainly ia where the inter
est Of the landowner and the public
lies.

Never mind the people who poke fun
at you for making good resolutions at
the beginning Of the year. Any time is
good time to make good resolution.
The first OF a new year, by reason of the
association of ideas, seems to be the
most fitting time. In reality the most
fttins time is the present time, when
ever that may be.
The people who do the fun.poking
are likely to be those who make no
good resolves OF their own but go on in
the same old happy.go-lucky way, drift
ing with the tide. 1t is better to resolve
and try and fail and keep on trying than
to have no fixed idea Of where you want
o 20 and how you wanttc get there.

The Dividing Line Between American and
British Possessions-Tau Grasses and

In their long stay among the wi1ds OF
Alaska and on their long journeys
through a practically unknown land,
the members of the boundary survey
party saw and heard many things of in
terest which are yet to be related. DR..
Harry N. Kierulff, the young surgeon
of the party, made the country, its peo-
pie and their customs his particular
study, and took many Photographic
views of what he observed.
"We began the building of our main
camp about August 12, 1885," said DIR.
Kierulf to q San Francisco Chronicle
reporter, "and we soon had comfort
able house for the winter built of stout
logs, tightly rooted and partitioned into
five rooms. We called it Camp Colonna.
1t was located about half a mile over
the boundary line on British territory
When we started home on July IA, 1890,
we turned the camp over to the English
missionary, Wallace, who had moved
with the traders. He occupies the
camp as dwelling house, and has put
up a school building near by and begun
work on a chapel.
"When the work of tracing and estab-
fishing the boundary was completed the
party set up a monument of rough
stones, about twelve feet high, as a Wis
ible mark of the dividing line between
American and British possessions. OF
course there is check on this in the
shape of securely concealed stone,
properly marked, at the head of the
base line, near the main station. When
we were about to break camp it oc-
