The high price all vegetables and small
fruits now command in the market should
admonish our farmers topay more atten-
ton to the cultivation of good gardens. In
speaking of this, an old settler here. gro
ceryman, stated that at no time was the
amount of vegetables sold in this city all
of home production. There is no good
reason why the Sedgwick county farmers
cannot raise enough vegetables and fruits
to supply the home market

FIRE,

The fire company was called to the West
Side last night. They responded promptly
and found an old vacant store building
on the southwest corner Of Chicago avenue
and Oak street, wrapped in flames. The
fire was checked as soon as stream could
be turned on, and only the roof was de-
stroyed. The fire laddies say there were
more fires on the West Side, during the past
few months, than in all other parts Of the
city combined.

LONG-DISTANCE TALK.

A new land and submarine cable
line has just been completed be-
tween London and Paris, and a
few days ago direct telephone
communication was established be.
tween the two cities. The first
words over the new line were
spoken by the wife of the French
Minister OF Industry and Colonies,
and then general conversation
was held, the line working without
any difficulty.
The success of this line indicates
future for the telephone which
was certainly unsuspended until
very recently. 1t has been bellev-
ed that only short distances could
be covered effectively, and that for
remote places reliance must still be
had upon the electric telegraph;
but If London can talk with Paris
over land wires and a submarine
cable it is hardly possible to set
bounds to the future of the tele-
phone.
There have been so many i'm
provements made upon the original
discovery of Alexander Graham
Bell that the telephone of to day 10
almost new invention, and it has
been asserted that the Bell Com
pany controls largo number of
patents in addition to those already
in use, which will greatly extend
the range and utility of the tele-
phone when they are put into prac-
tical operation.
Some time ago it was proposed,
believe, to attempt telephone COM
munication between San Francisco
and Chicago, but we are not ad.
vlsed as to whether the experiment
was ever made. TO cover such q
distance would certainly require
the most favorable conditions of
every kind, for the leakage is enor-
nous where wires stretch for thous-
ands of miles and are exposed to
all sorts Of temperature and climate.
Theoretically there is no reason
why person in this city should
not converse with one in Chicago
by means of the telephone. but in
actual practice there must be
great many obstacles, and it is not
certain that they will not prove to
be insuperable. However, of this
we may be certain, that telephony
is progressive science, aud that
great improvements will be made
In the future. [-Examiner, March

MISS BELLE E. MArTEsoN.

raj predictions especially fitted her, but
has broadened the scope of her work and
enters into active competition in spheres
hitherto monopoiized by the sterner sex.
AS an interviewer she has shown herself
bright and keen witted; as a travelling cor
respondent she is always observant and in
teresting, and as a general reporter she is
as accurate and enterprising as her male
competitors. She is a sociologist by in
stinct and a philosopher by choice, and her
treatment of live topics of human interest
is not only instructive but entertaining.
She prospers alike in the metropolis and
the country town. She is as much at homo
in the office of great daily as in the
sanctum of rural weekly. She is to be
found in every section, and wields the pen
as earnestly and intelligently in the new
settlements of the northwest as she does in
the centers of population and culture.
In the new state of North Dakota there
are nine women journalists, all bright,
active and untiring workers. Probably
the most conspicuous figure among them
is Miss Belle E. Matteson, editor and pub
Usher of the Fargo Sun, a weekly Demo
cratic newspaper. Miss Matteson entered
the profession under circumstances which
speak well for her pluck and perseverance.
Her father, w. HI. H. Matteson, is an old
newspaper man, who founded The Sun to
help ON the Democratic cause in North Da-
kota He lost heart after the elections in
November last and suddenly disappeared.
leaving his business affairs in very unsat-
isfactory state. In this crisis Miss Matte
sons courage and ability were equally dis
played. She at once took charge of the pa
per, put her name at the head and began q
vigorous canvass for advertisements and
job printing The results of her energy
were soon apparent The Sun appeared on
the regular publication days; it's news and
editorial columns were fresh and bright.
and advertisements increased with encour-
aging speed. In very short time the pa
per was put on a paying basis. Miss Mat
teson recently purchased new dress"
for The Sun, and her father, who soon
heard of his daughters prosperity, re-
turned from his exile to help in the work.
This plucky young woman isAa native of
Eau Claire, Wis, where she was born April
Is, 1870. The family removed to Fargo in
1882 She became teacher in the public
schools Of Cass county when she was
eighteen years old, and occasionally as
sisted her father in the Office. For short
time she served as clerk in the constitu-

What an Old Book Revealed.

1t seems that the gay and dashing bach
elor, novelist, poet and playwright, Oliver
Goldsmith, wasn't bachelor after all.
He had house in the district of Islington
where he spent good deal q time, and
was regarded'by his neighbors as a respect
able married citizen. While rummaging
among the parochial archives of Islington,
Mr.. Edwin Davey, clerk of the guardians,
found an old book which gives some inter.
esting facts about the famous metropoli.
tan district. Among other things it con-
tains the census return for 1901. The par
ish is described as "a merry village adja-
cent to London, and favorite resort for
its citizens" and the population is given at
10,121. Now it's inhabitants number 1885,
600. In the book occurs the name of Mary
Olivia Goldsmith, who is there set down as
the daughter of DIR. Oliver Goldsmith.

to the great statue of Liberty, saving aloud,
20 Liberty, what crimes are committed in

The headsman persists He has his or

So he yielded, and Lamarche went up first
to his fate. AS be ascended she said to an
attendant, "Would that I might have a
pen to write down the thoughts that come
to me now" Thus, on the 9th of Novem-
Der, 1898, she died, with the effulgence OF
queenly beauty upon her, the aureole of an
endless fame about her head.
