IDAHO AT THE woRLD's ram
Ilah County Free Press.

Speaking OF the appointment of
Hon. J. K. DeLa,nar as Idaho's Com
missioner to the Columbian Fair,
Senator Weller said: "Goyernor
Wiley deserves credit for excellent
Judgment in appointing Senator De
Lamar to this position, upon which
depends so much of Idaho's future.
No better selection could have been
made for our welfare and prosperity.
Capt. DeLamar stands at the head of
our most enterprising citizens, broad
and liberal in his views, and possess
ed OF indomitable energy and busi-
ness tact, he will leave no stone un.
turned to bring Idaho to the front by
such magnificent display and ex-
hibit Of her many resources as will at
once place her as one OF the foremost
of the Pacific coast States. While it
is to be regretted that our financial
condition is such that no greater ap-
preparation than $4,000 could be
made, yet have we reason to congrat-
ulate ourselves with the knowledge
that this sum will be largely increas-
ed. Senator DaLamar informed me
that he would raise $100,000; that he
intended to correspond with and So
licit subscriptions from every board
of trade within our borders, and
would, out of his private purse, doub.
lie every amount thus subscribed. He
will appoint competent persons te
act as sub commissioners, who will
visit each section of the State to col
lect specimens of every variety of oul
products. At his own expense be
will ship car load of each kind o
ore from the celebrated group of DE-
Lamar mines. He will have an i'm
mense log structure erected, bull
from native woods, in which Idaho
wonderful display will be exhibited.
Mr.. Weller added that such an op
portunity to display and advertis'
our resources will never again be af
forded our citizens, and that each AM
every one of us should take a liv
and active interest and co-operat
with our Commissioner to the en-
that Idaho's exhibit in '93 at th

EGO.
Idaho Enterprise.

You can always distinguish the
profound egotist by the style of his
grammar. When you hear man
say, Il and God," 81 and the Hon.
DoLrTTLR," Il and another gentle
man." etc., you can set that man down
as most jealous disciple of egoism
and consummate worshipper of ego.
The modest person is apt to forget
himself and say, "my dog and l." but
the puffed and bloated and self wor-
shipping individual never forgets to
give the personal pronoun al" pre-
cedence, and employs it indiscrimi-
nately in the nominative and object
i've case. You never hear him say
ame." Some kind of instinct seems
to tell him that "me" is objective and
he would butcher the eight parts oi
speech at one stab than by any form
of expression seem to admit that any
act could be performed on or against
him. He is emphatically the subject
he performs; he acts; he nominates
All his verbs are transitive and they
always pass over to an object which
the subject paralyzes at every lick
81 and Godr' 81 and the eternal uni
verse;" 81, Myself" "The great
ami" Ego!

THE Idaho City Dramatic Troupe
had full house Friday night, every
seat in the hall being taken. The
audience was more than pleased with
the presentation of both the drama
and farce. The members of the
troupe have been the recipients of
we'll deserved praise and very com
plimentary congratulations for the
excellent manner in which each char
acter was sustained, and everybody
has expressed desire that the troupe
give another performance, which
they will probably do. They are
thinking of putting on another play

is in session. Following was the cast

GOLD IN SPARTANBURG.
Land in the County Boughl by Syndicate
and Mining to Begin Immediately.
+ From the Greenville News. I

from the GreenNllle News.
SPARTANBURG, S. G., May 3d.
Spartanburg county has long been
known to contain minerals of great
wealth, and at different times several
fortunes have been dug from her mines.
Yesterday G. Warner, the president of
the State Horticultural society, as rep
resentative of syndicate of capitalists,
bought 200 acres of land in the north
western portion of this county and
bought the Chapman mill site. The
whole of this large tract of land is
found to be rich in gold. The ore has
been assayed and found to be as rich as
that which set the world wild in Cali
fornia. This gold field adjoins the
Newton mine which was worked years
ago profitably.
In addition to this Mr.. Warner ex-
hibited splendid specimens of Zircons,
mineral which is in great demand
just now and exceedingly rare, being
worth more than its weight in gold.
Mr.. Edison has employed men all over
the world TO search for Zircon. It is
used in electric lights. Mr.. Warner is
confident he has good supply of the
precious mineral and there is no posi-
ble doubt that the specimens he has
are genuine.
The new company will begin opera
tions at once. 1t is not proposed to
boom the speculative purposes, but all
the necessary machinery for crushing
the ore and working the mine will be
erected.

LIVED on SO 4 YEAR.
The Methods of Life of an Aged M.ser of
Lisle.

The Widow Paret, - years old,
starved to death in Lisle four weeks
ago. She left fortune Of $lI5,GUD. AS
a thoroughbred miser she was without
u rival. Twelve years ago, when her
husband died, she had only few dol
lars. She invested her money judici-
ously, and set about getting more with
unsurpassed energy. She sewed,
begged, and did the hardest manual
labor whenever an opportunity was
offered to her.
Her savings were almost identical
with her earnings, for her living cost
her only 50 annually. She got her
food from the refuse heaps at vegetable
markets and from the garbage of ho-
tells and restaurants. She gathered the
Goals for her fire usually at the docks
where freight ships were loaded and
emptied. Every morning, rain or sun,
she appeared at the wharves with her
coal basket on her arm. When unable
to fill her basket there she pilfered the
desired supply from neighboriug coal
yards, and by this practice got herself
several times in the Lisle police courts.
Last fall her only son, an unsuccess-
full miser, died of hunger, leaving one
child, a girl of sixteen years. This
young woman is the sole heir to the
fortune. She is one Of the frivolous
creatures of Lisle, and is said to be
making great preparations for the
speedy dissipation of her grandmoth-
er's hoard.

ARTICLE vI.-AMENDMENTS.
Writing for the Press.
1Carolina Sbartan.

SdLO41Ae- oval IeAl
Brother Petty gives some good ad-
vice to newspaper contributors and
other writers
Write clear, legible hand with
plenty of space between the lines and
use only one side of the paper. AL
ways page the sheets.
Do not write with a pencil on sleek,
glazed paper. That makes the type
setter fall from grace.
Always have something to say be-
fore you begin to write, and say it in
the fewest words when they will eX-
press urmeaning.
Never narrate little incidents or
make humorous thrusts that will be
understood by only few persons.
That which pleases or is understood in
a freside circle, might be the essence
of foolishness when published.
Remember that the public is not in
terested in great many small matters
that interest you. Keep yourself out
Of what you write.
AS you expect to write for an En-
glish reading and English speaking
people, write only English. Foreign
words, Latin and French phrases and
quotations should be avoided. No
good writer uses them now. 1t is a.
ways a sign of defective learning TO
quote a dead or foreign language,
which would be understood by very
few Of your readers. If you cannot
clearly express your thought in En-
glish, it Will be better to keep it to
yourself.
Avoid pretty writing. Very few ex-
eel in this, and as a general thing it
is worth little even when most skill
fully done.
Use the dictionary freely. Study the
use of words. A celebrated English
man was accustomed to spend hours
over one or two sentences in order that
he might get the thought expressed in
choice words. Do not get..in the habit
of "dashing off, things. It requires
facility and large mentll resources to
do that. The hen dashes off a brood
of beautiful chickens that come to the
light like an inspiration, but it has re-
quired three weeks of patient, earnest
brooding to reach this result.
