Yesterday the HERALD received a letter
from Miss NJ L. Cunningham, of Tacoma.
who is one of Fair Ravens staunch and
enthusiastic friends, and who has inst
returned from trip to Alaska
with Mr.. Nelson Bennett and family.
Miss Cunningham, in the course of her
letter SAYS: while at SiAa we visited
the Indian mission school, ard Mr.. Ben
nett was so well pleased that with his
accustomed generosity, he gave the chill
dren $50 gold piece. On the trip we had
much amusement, one incident of which
was an excellent joke on Mr. Bennett.
He was playing whist with party. and
once while holding six good trumps he
led from sneak" and lost the game.
He was arrested, and a mock trial was
held, in which the arguments of the
lawyers for the defense in favor of sneak
leading, were just fine, and everybody en-
joyed the fun immensely. The Judges
gave Mr.. b. very light sentence on ac-
count OF his being such a handsome man.
At Sitka and Chilcat we read
the papers at midnight by the natural
light while sitting out on deck. Every
thing was done for our comfort and the
entire trip was grand one"

james G. Blaine has set the pace for
the diplomacy OF the world. Eight
ministers Of parliament are urging
commercial reciprocity. The present
British premier is a rank free-trader
and may not take kindly to the Ameri-
can idea. Nevertheless the pressure
is being applied to induce him to learn
a lesson Of government from the
American secretary of state.

PAYING FOR SENTIMENT

The HERALD has chosen to be very
quiet in the matter Of the coal mine
difficulties in King county. as it does
not care TO do great deal OF long
range commenting upon subjects that
it is not reliably informed about, there
being many sides TO the matter and as
many different views taken by inter
ested parties and those who have
chosen to mix in the muss. There is
one thing about it, however, that we
can safely say, and that is that it
seems pretty tough on the taxpayers to
be paying over 81 600 per day for troops
to preserve the peace among handful
OF Italian, French and negro miners
and a few OF other nationalities.
When it comes to paying for keeping
an army, the people who must do the
paying will be inclined to think that it
would be cheaper to let the interested
corporations pay their own men to
keep the peace, even If those men are
called "Pinkerton toughs." Senti-
ment has always been expensive, and
generally amounts TO more than it
comes to-" 1t is none Of our fight,
however, and being free fight we ask
TO be excused. The ciFcumscribed
limits OF Fairhaven and Whatcom
county form a sufficiently large BALL.
wick for the HERALD, in matters OF
this kind.
For this reason an article sent tc
the HERALD, denouncing Colonel
Haines in this connection, has beer
sent to the profound depths of the
waste-baskei, where 1t will remain
without hope of resurrection.

more, it will not depend entirely upon

the public spirit of its people.

the entire republic. He is today the
greatest OF living statesmen and his
labors for the good of the country are

death would cause deep and genuine

Yesterday In the superior court of this

haven case was tried, viz: The state of
Washington VS.. George Higgins, charged
with grand larceny. In this case Mr.,

has since received much applause for his
able manipulation OF the matter. It was
charged against Higgins that he had
stolen watch, chain, locket and ring.

A verdict of guilty would have sent the
cuIprit to the penitentiary for space of
time anywhere between one and fourteen
years, and circumstances made the stu

case, however, with energy and zeal in
behalf OF his client, and so capabiy did he
handle it that he not only got his man off

The HERALD's star-sharp says that
in measuring the distances Of the stars
from the earth, bearings are taken six
months apart, For instance: A bear
ing is taken of a star in March, six
months from that time the earth will
be on the opposite side Of the sun,
lS4, 000,000 miles from where IL was in
March. If the star is close enough to
the earth for measurement of its dis
lance telescope, or gun sighted at
it in March would not be exactly in
range with it in September. BY know
ing this variation and knowing the
diameter of the earth's orbit we have
two sides OF the triangle, arithmetical
calculations will give us the other side
and geometry will then give the dis
lance of the star. Only seventy-nine
stars are near enough to enable cal
culation OF their distances and the
nearest one is more than 100000 times
the distance of the sun from the earth.
