Humbling an Autocrat.

The autocrat of the seaside resort
Is not the man with his millions, but
the hotel cook. The clerk in the office
may imagine that he owns most of the
earth and the head waiter may feel
that he has a warranty deed of the re-
mainder, but when you come right
down TO facts the boss of the kitchen
IS the boss of the ranch. He is the un-
seen power behind the throne to which

At our hotel the soup had invariably
been seasoned SO high with cayenne
pepper that not one out of ten could
could taste it. The same was true of
the devilled clans. One day l made
A kick and in five minutes l had half
4 dozen guests with me. We inter-
viewed the Ian dlord and his reply was:
81 have nothing to say about it.
You must go to the chief cook"
We sought an interview with that
magnate. He was a colored man
with the dignity of a Roman Senator.
We made our complaint and he re-
piled:
al season dat soup an dem CLAIMS to
suit llly ldsle.
'.But it doesn't suit ours"
"Can't help dat, sah.''

body to tell me what to do"
We returned to the veranda and
went into convention. Every minute
added to our numerical strength, and
in quarter of an hour we numbered
forty men. Then it was unanimously
Resolved. That II the cook refuses TO use
less pepper we seek some other hotel.
Delegates were appointed to wait on
the landlord, and he replied:
"Gentlemen, l am sorry, but l dare
not interfere.
Forty rooms were vacated, forty
trunks packed, and then mine host will
led. He called in the cook, and though
that individual attempted to stand on
his dignity he had to wilt. By this
time the excitement was intense, and
had the forty gone they would have
been followed by hundred more.
LESS pepper" was the watchword all
over the house, and it meant great
deal to that landlord. We kicked, we
saw, we conquered, and the next soup
and CLAIMS exactly suited the popular
taste. The cook is still the unseen
power behind the throne, but he has
skipped cog and no one is afraid of
bim any longer.-Detroit Free Press.

where the sun looked through an ivy
And the leaves of lilac were large and

Here's many a mosque with its ring of

And plllaTed temple and stately town,
And the Holy River goes slowly down.
The sun Is seeking his saffron bowers,

Where the dead sleep sweet and the living
pray.
Here's yellow champak that Buddah loves,
And lotus shedding her odorous breath,
But the orange evening Is lonely as death,
With no sound save the Groom of the mourn

In lovely Ireland this hour know
Nov uierrily homeward the mowers 90.
The daisied grass with the dew is pearled,
And The cattle stand where the shades are

The cuekOo's calling his summer song,
The anEelus rings Ger hawthorn world;
And eyes / knew where the lovelights be,
Are growing misty with thoughts OF me.
O, swallow, swallow, that land is far,

Siamese children have their hair cut
only once, and this important cere-
mony takes place at the age of four
teen. Up to that time youths of both
sexes have their heads closely shaven
with the exception of a small topknot,
the cutting of which indicates that the
child has attained his majority, and is
no longer ia statu oupitLdri.
The tonsure of the Crown Prince of
Siam took place on the 22nd of January
of this year, and the event was csle-
brated with degree of splendor and
eclat hitherto unequalled in the his
tory of the country. Siam, from its
warm and sunny climate. and the char
acter of Its people, is particularly we'll
adapted for pageant and pantomimic
displays. The Siamese are passionate
iy fond of sparkling jewellery, bril-
liant colors, and panoramic process
sions, and throw themselves into the
work Of organizing these demonstra-
tions with zeal and esrnestness which
plodding Europeans reserve for dull
business alone. An ever-changing
variety of procession and triumphal
marches was kept up for seven days,
aud when to these were added the
glamour of purely Oriental surround
inQs, picturesque briIliancy of colored
temples, fretted and golden ninarets.
and, above all, an unparalleled display
Of dazzling diamonds, jewellery, sEd

An OPTIMISTIC VIEW

Newspapers all over Washington
are predicting the early appearance of
better times, and with ample warrant.
Among the rays of promise is the
fact that there is already a much
easier condition of the money market
throughout the world, and so far as
this republic is concerned, flattering
prospects are palpably presented. The
time is now at hand when the annual
balance in favor Of the United States
will begin to come in, and especially
into Washington, where the wheat
and hop crops are unusually large and
excellent. Beside, the loosening of
money will enable the manipuators of
great enterprises, particularly railroad
builders to proceed more rapidly and
on a greater scale with their construc-
ton, and the latest cable advices, via
Boston, announce announce a fact pc
culiarly pleasant to the city of Fair
haven, which is to be the Pacific coast
headquarters Of the Great Northern
railroad. The telegram says: "The
Great Northern has secured a market
for its $40, 900, 900 bonds, which would
seem to indicate that the European
situation with which Wall streets
prosperity is so intimately connected
is mending very fast"
This is good news for the entire
Puget sound region, for the reason
That 1T means impetus, and
for the sake of avoiding cavil,
let ii be undetermined as
TO where the Great Northern
or any other-railroad is going to do its
utmost. The success and prosperity
of any of the cities of Puget Sound
means great benefit to all OF them, be-
cause prosperity on these shores is re
markably ramifying. The coming of
the railroads with plenty of money
Will mean the coming of thousands of
people with money, and that means
the development Of our resources; the
development Of our resources means
the dissemination Of prosperity's
blessings proportionateiy among all |

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION

From time immemorial the state
elections in Kentucky have been held
IN August, and on the first Monday.
BY that time the corn is "laid by"
water melons are plentiful, the peO-
pie have more leisure. Heretofore
leisure has produced Democrats there,
on the same principle that "idlcness
is the devils workshop" but now the
dun season has found another job In
making pied" partyites, and they are
made mostly Of Democrats, especially
in Kentucky, where there is precious
little material Of any other kind. In
the election which is TO come off there
tomorrow Monday, August ,
ii has grown to be a question whether
the Democrats or the pidies will win.
and as they amount TO about the same
thing it doesn't matter except 10
themselves aud the other Democrats
that do not shed their old political
cuticles. The vote Of Kentucky will
not have any real political signif-
canoe 50 far as national politics is con-
cerned, as under any circumstances IL
can only affect the face Of the Demo
cratic party there. When the ma
tiunal election comes it won't make
any particular difference as to the
electoral college, except in that
it may make the Democratic con-
tingent few less in numbers.
The Republican side Of the college
will neither be lessened or strength
ened by Kentucky's vote. and as that
side OF the college will be largely in
the majority, the whole matter, as TO
Kentucky, is Of no consequence. II,
however, Kentucky should elect John
Young Brown governor, as it probably
will, IL will only do as IL always has
done, since the days Of Grand Old
Harry, the Wing leader, IL will simply
choose another very elegant old Demo-
cratic gentleman. But it will give the
Democratic press an opportunity to
fire of that same old gun and shout.
Have you heard from kentucky"
and did you hear anything drop"

papers another opportunity to ring
some changes on the assertion that

ernor Jones started In the race, but
long continuance at running for ONCE
made him tired, even before fairly
started, and he jumped the track. He
was also actuated not a little by the
assurance he received from party lead
ers that his business methods of pay
ing the freight would have to be CON
tinued, and this probably had some
thing to do with the WEAKNESS that
terminated his efforts.
The Republicans have been candi-
date hunting all summer with
little success. When it was
about settled that DR.. Depew
would bear the brunt Of the fight
for the party's sake, that gentleman
renounced his ambition and betook
himself to Europe. Then Cornelius
n. Bliss was entered and was making
a good run when he sought the quiet
and shade Of his own vine and fig tree,
and would have none OF it, Thus
twice cast at sea without anchor, the
candidate hunt has not brought forth
good results. Throughout it all il
has been a case Of the Office hunting
the man.
The reason Of this apathy among
politicians is not apparent at first
sight. 1t is not an insignificant honor
to lead either OF the parties in a
gubernatorial campaign in New York,
especially in the year preceding a
presidential election. The Repub-
licans, however, may account for their
failure, in part at least. In theiI
anxiety to get good man, they have
so far picked on men bigger than the
Office, or for whom the Office had nc
attractions, especially when the road
there was through bitter campaign
The Democrats attribute their III
success largely TO the hold Governor
Hill has and the mystery surrounding
his intentions.

BETTER FARTHER ON
A Communication From a Clergyman of
This City

A Communication From a Clergyman of
This City
Three things now being agitated in
Fairhaven and on BellinQham bay we
believe may be realized.
l. A chamber of commerce well organ
gained and under the direction of our
very best citizens. This will add very
greatly to the material interests of the
city.
2. A high school situated between the
two cities. This project will, we believe,
grow upon the people of New Whatcom
and Fairhayen. A gentleman from New
Whatcom made the remark in our hear
ing yesterday that he believed it to be
one of the best things suggested" Sucb
an institution, foStered and patroniZed by
the Bay Cities, would add greatly to our
educational advantages.
3. The careful and strict enforcement
OF law suppreSsing and restricting gamb-
ling and kindred vices. A brutal prize
fight prevented in st. Paul shows that
righteous laws can be enforced.
1t seems to me that everyone must see
that gamblers and their kind" do not
add TO the prosperity of a city but are
parasites, feeding upon the labor and
energy OF others. II during this pause"
affairs touching all the interests of our
city are more properly adjusted, when the

SOMEWHAT REMARKABLE

Politically the state Of New York is
just now in an interesting condition.
Neither Of the two great parties seem
to know exactly what TO do in the
matter of candidates for the next stat e
election, and the situation is alto
gether one that has few parallels in
the history Of politics. The election
occurs in November and the nomuat-
ing conventions OF both parties are to
be held shortly, yet there is not an
avowed candidate in either party. As
usual, several gentlemen have placed
lightning rods in conspicuous places,
but no active canvas is being made.

REMA RKABLE MEMORIES

umns devoted to remarkable things,
such as who the richest men are, the
special exploits Of great warriors or
racehorses, the performances of diff

and lately an article has been going
the rounds, giving instances of pecu-
liarly agile and retentive memories,
but the following are omitted:
Henry VIII, Of England could re-
peat the names of his wives in their
consecutive order without missing one.
The Spokane Review and Olympia
Tribune can remember the word ''tin-
horn" in referring to each other, with
all ease.
Themistocles could remember for

com, all his life as the only man from
that city who met him at the wharf
after his trip around the world in New
Whatcom's interest.
Susan b. Anthony knew her brother
Mares address by heart, without con-
sulting a directory.
Fairhaven can never forget the year
1890, when she stepped out of the will
derness into good streets and a superb
hotel.
George HI, though deficient in
education, never forgot his own face
after seeing it once in the looking glass.
DIR. Calhoun, of La Conner, remem-
bers most wildly the Walla Walla con-
yentiOn of 1889, and the action of the
King county delegation therein.
A noted Scotch divine had such an
excellent memory that he used the
same grace at table in his Goth year
that he used seventy years before.
The Seattle Press-Times will have
occasion to remember Col! II. Hens
bane Boyd SO long as it may live.
The Prince of Wales will never have
any any further use for baccarat
counters, as the game is indellibly i'm
pressed upon his memory.
Col. John De There will never have
the memory Of his last visit to the city
of Blaine entirely eradicated from his
mind.
Hon. James G. Blaine can remember
Dominic Burchard's name without
alliteratiye, assistance. Though it
makes him quite tired at times:
Judge Sachs, Of Port Townsend, will J
remember some of the people of his |
bailiwick, even after he has retired |
from the bench.
Major Mckinley, of Ohio, will re-
member, even when he is surrounded |

wandered his congressional district.
iPatti-Nicolini can sing Home,

TO the day of his death General
Sherman could recall the strains of
Marching Through Georgia." with
one hand behind him.
Hardy, the druggist in this city, has
no trouble at any time of recalling a
serenade he once had by sheepskin
band that played four hours in front
Of his place Of business while he was
putting up very difficult prescrip-
] ton.
Ex-Governor Foraker, of Ohio, will
