These volumes are intended for young people. and
therefore, while the author has produced the Homeric
narratives with simplicity and accurate study Of
the general features. he has apparently not deemed it
necessary to follow all the peculiarities of omers
language. 1t might almost be called Homer with
1Iomer's adjectivcs omitted. One does not stop here

the trial Of the bow in the 0dyssey-that IS. whether
the axes had kelveh holes in the times Of the Trojan
war-are dealt with summarily, leaving the young

boyhood was passed. AT the age Of
seventeen he went a little farther west,
locating in Boone county, Mo. He at
tended the university there, and was ad-
mitted to the bar. In 1870 he removed
to Nevada, No., which has since been
his home. He has been a particularly
successful practitioner at the bar and is
credited with being one of the most
fluent speakers in the state of Missouri
The first political honor which Colonel
Stone received from the people of Mis-
souri, came in 1876, when he was an
elector on the Tilden and Hendricks
ticket. He was then but twenty-eight
years of age, but he made thorough
canvass of the fourteen counties COM
posing his district, and the acquaint-
anees and friendships formed on this
and subsequent similar trips constituted
the keystone of his present. popularity
with his constituents.
Colonel Stone in 1880 gave up the
greater portion of his law practice and
engaged in stock raising on his large
farm near Nevada. Four years later he
was elected to represent the Twelfth
Missouri district in congress, and was
reelected in 1886 and again in 1888. He
declined a denomination and entered
again into the active practice of his pro-
fession. The Democratic gubernatorial
candidate is an exceedingly active cam
paigner, and as the Republican nomi-
nee, Major Warner, bears similar rep
utation, the contest in Missouri this
year promises to be a particularly lively
one.
In 1874 Colonel Stone was married to
Miss Louise Winston, who is a member
of an old Missouri family.

Judge Galley is home again from q
sojourn of four months at his farm and
old home in Oregon, looking much the
better for his trip. The inference seems
warranted that the neighbOrhood OF
the judges old home has been cap
tured by the Peoples party and that
the venerable judge himself has become
a prisoner to their belief. He wears on
the lapel of his vest a metal badge
bearing the initials of the Farmers
Alliance and Independent Union" en-
closing the outline of a pillow, favor
lite symbol of the new movement. 1t
may not be fair even to suggest that a
man of the judges age and ability has
made a mistake, but If he has, and we
think he has, it is not in having left
the camp of the Democracy, in which
he has been a bright and shining light
for many years, but in having ac-
knowledged allegiance to such an I'M
holy alliance as that which has resulted
from the willy Vaccinations of horde
of turned down" politicians from the
ranks of both the old organizations.

Several enterprising Pennsylvanians
have secured valuable concessions from
the government of Honduras and are
going to that country to make furni-
ture.
The privilege includes the cession of
two manzanas of public or municipal
lands for the factory, dwelling houses.

machinery and material necessary for
construction and development; the free
use of wood and timber ON national or
municipal lands; freedom of the beach
for maritime purposes of importation or
expectation; freedom from all imposts
already established or to be established
hereafter, and exemption from munich
pal employment or military service of
its employees. The products of the en-
terprise will enjoy, in the treaties with

work of artisans of Honduras, as well
as those of reciprocity and commerce

thorities will doubtless adopt adequate
measures to control it. The Ledger
has it in violent form, aggravated, it
appears, rather than diminished, by the
McGraw-Allen pills prescribed by the
Republican state convention. 1t seems
to have made little effort to swallow
them but it evidently lacked the faith
in their efficacy which is essential to
insure the best results. They rose, and
it was only by painful effort that the
patient resisted the desire to expector-
ate them. 1t doesn't appear to be the
pills themselves to which the Ledger so
much objects as it is to the directions
for taking. The trouble comes from
the requirement to swallow also the
Lake Washington canal. But it must
be done, and the Ledger might as well
make the best of it. The alternative it
suggests is no remedy, and is nothing
more nor less than an evidence of po-
political dementia.

THE MILL STREET CONTROVERSY

The HERALD has respectfully de-
clined to publish lengthy commune
cation on the Mill street extension diff
ficulty solely because of uncalled for per-
sonal reflections and innunendoes
which ii contains and which do not i'm
the least strengthen the argument. The
writer was told that if he would elm
mate the immaterial personal matter
we would gladly publish the article in
justice to the large number of people
who are greatly wronged by the inn
positions which they have long borne
with becoming patience, not the least
Of which is the contemplate fencing of
the street, presumably by order Of the
owners of the tract whose purchase at
an exhorbitant price it Is sought to force
upon the city. The fence is a standing
insult to the many people who are in
terested in the street extension and who
are in no wise to blame because the
mayor has seen fit to block the deal by
falling to sign the warrants ordered by
the council to be issued i'm payment.
There are two sides to the question. IL
Is not In the least surprising that the
residents of Gise's addition should
think that they have passed the period
where patience ceases to be virtue.
Their indignation is reasonable and
well founded. But the fact remains
that there is another side to the
matter. While Mr.. Huntoon is
seeking to evade his legal and moral
responsibility as one of the bondsmen
of defaulter Parker, and thus cause a
heavy loss to the city, he is taking ad.
vantage of the fact that there is no
effective condemnation law in the stat
utes Of the state, to force the city, by
bulldozing methods, to pay him an ex-
travagant sum for narrow strip of
land, in order that a considerable num-
Der of the people may have proper
means of access to their homes. He
may enjoy some sardonic satisfaction
in watching ladies and children climb
the fence he has had erected, but mas
much as Mayor Mckenzie and his
family don't have to climb 1t the graft
fication seems shamefully poor one.
The columns Of the HERALD are al
ways open to reasonable and temperate
discussions of all public questions. We
have no disposition to Barr out any
thing of material interest or value to
the people, but when we give currency
TO personalities we prefer to originate
them ourselves.

GENERAL Z. A. CARR. twice, and two
horses have been killed under him. The
number of battles in which he has par
ticipated is fifty-four, of which sixteen
were against the Indians, fourteen of
them having occurred since the late
"unpleasantness."
Eugene A. Carr was born in Concord,
Erie county, Pa. He was appointed to
West Point as a cadet from New York,
and graduated from that institution
July 1, 1850, being assigned at once to
the Third cavalry, then the Mounted
rifles. He was ordered to Fort Leaven-
worth and participated in two expedi-
tions to the Rocky mountains. In 1855
he was promoted to first heutenantcy
for conspicuous gallantry in an engage
ment with the Mescalero Apaches. Lieu
tenant Carr was prominent for his serv-
ices in connection with the Kansas Dor
der troubles. In June, 1858, he became
a captain and was ordered to Utah,
where he took part in restoring law and
order and maintaining in authority the
United States governor and other officials
who had succeeded Brigham Young and
his horde of polygamists.
When the war broke out Captain Carr
Joined General Lyons campaign in
southeastern Missouri. Later on he
served under Generals Halleck, Hunter
and Curtis. In February, 1862, having
been appointed colonel a few months be-
fore, Carr was put in command of the
Fourth division Of the Army of the
Southeast. He distinguished himself by
conspicuous gallantry and GOODNESS in
directing the movements of his division
in several important engagements, and
thus earned many brevets. Colonel Carr
served throughout the war, and has
since remained in the regular army.
His career from 1885 down to the pres
emit time has consisted of a series of bril-
liant military achievements. and in the
many harassing Indian campaigns in
which he has taken part Colonel Carr
has shown himself to be an officer of
wonderful pluck, indomitable energy,
unvarying GOODNESS and great strategic
ability. His promotion from the senior
colouelcy of the army to a brigadier gen.
eralship is considered well merited
tribute to gallant officer.
During the war General Carr re-
ceived the following brevets in the reg
ular service: That of lieutenant colonel,
Aug. 10, 1861, for gallant and meri-
torious service in the battle of Wilson
Creek, Missouri; that of colonel, May IS,
1858, for gallant and meritorious service
in the action of the Black River Bridge.
Mississippi; that of brigadier general,
March 10, 1865, for gallant and meri-
torious service in the capture of Little
Rock, and that of major general. March
10, 1866, for gallant and meritorious
service during the war.

years of comparativeleisure he located

it was decided that hereafter crema-

AT an age when many women would
have thought themselves fit only to sit
in the corner with their knitting work,
the late Mildly Morgan, the famous cattle
reporter of the New York Times, Herald
and Tribune, was doing newspaper work
that would have repealed many young
man in his early twenties. She was
nearly sixty-four years old at the time
of her death and lived at Metuchen, N.
j., more than an hours ride from New
York city; yet in all weathers-winter
and summer-every cattle market day
she was at the Jersey City stock
yards by z o'clock in the morning,
getting her notes for the day. Her
knowledge of horses and cattle and of
live stock in general would have been
remarkable even in a man. In a woman
it was phenomenal. A natural love
of horses and cattle led her to learn
their management. In her youth in
the old country it was said there was
no colt in Ireland so wild that she could
not break and ride it. She selected and
bought horses for the stables of King
Victor Emanuel, in Italy, before she
came to America. When she first en-
tered ON her duties as live stock market
reporter both the cattlemen and the
other reporters tried to put her down
and drive her out, jeering her TO her
face. She lived to prove to them that
she knew more about her business than
all of them put together, and besides TO
gain the thorough respect and good will
of every one of them. Il was said that
she was the best judge of the weight of
a beef ON the hoof of anybody at the
stock yards. In spite of her rough work
she was lady of the utmost refinement
and culture, with voice somewhat deep
in tone, which fell like music on the ear
