journalism tn Rnrnn ali,

The News of Jan. ., published in Ara
kan, in British Burmah. describes an ex-
perience not unlike that of some mining
camp journalist. After wishing its read
ers happy New Year. it gives this expla-
nation of the nonappearance of the paper
on the usual date of issue:
Our excuse is this. Our whole staff. includ-
ing the editor, were so much Knocked up with
the excitement of the sports last Saturday
that on sunday they were laid up with what
our readers viii charitably call Arakan fever
Monday was fixed a. settling day for certain
bets made on Saturday. which unfortunately
for this paper were won by the wrong side. As
the losers could not stump up at once, the win
ners bombarded and took possession of the
Office and the press. and refused to vscate
until payment was made. On Tuesday the
staff OF this paper in turn assaulted, those in
possession and after a hard fought battle
routed them, but il took all Wednesday and
Thursday TO collect and arrange the forms and
the types, which had been freely used as mis-
siles in Tuesdays battle. The proprietor claims
that he could not get the police 10 assist him.

tary OF the house OF representatives
Texas, his native state, and suhsequen
of the state capitol board. In the capS
of general manager he had almost Il
cratic supervision of the first great TIC
Mexican exposition which was hela
San Antonio in 1888.
When the idea Of locating the Worlds
fair in this city WIS nooSed, his name was
among the first that occurred TO the local
committee as 2 desirable advocate and
diplomat, and under its auspices he en-
gagged in 4 quiet CANVASS among the sens-
tors and representatives from the various
states which bore good fruit when the
crisis came in the fight between the diff
ferent cities for the selection. His APP
pointment as the Democratic commissioner
from the Lone Star State followed as a
matter OF course, and 1T the very first seq
sion Of the national commission, called for
the purpose OF organizing under the act o.
congress, he was unanimously elected az
its secretary.
He is not likely to be called upon to re-
sign his chair TO a successor. for he has
thrown his heart and soul into the enter
prise, III all its branches, with an ariOr
and earneStness that has commanded gen
eral admiration and that Is making for
him notable record. In the words of the
song of the old Cornish miners, HE has
no wife to bother his life" and hence he is
enabled TO respond with freedom to the
numerous demands for his participation in
banquets, dinners and other social func-
tions. His ability as a platform orator is
conceded, and his blending of wit, wisdom
and pathos at the festive board has placed
him in the front rank of after dinner talk

Now that he is coming to the United
States, all Americans viii be curious to
know something about him. He was born
sixty-three years ago. When he succeeded
his brother as king of Sweden he was forty
three years old. Previous TO this he was
general in the army. But his tastes are
those of peace rather than war. He is q
scholar rather than soldier He is learned
in the languages of the orient, having on
this account been chosen president OF the
international oriental congress. He Is a
profound student of literature. Besides
translating Goethe's Faust" into Swedish
verse he has written poems of his own.
His other contributions to literature are
numerous and notable.
King Oscar takes lively interest in the
welfare of his people He cannot do much
for them on his own account. Unlike the
car, he is constitutional monarch. He
recognizes this fact and governs his con-
duct accordingly. In speech that he
once made in reply to an address from des-
titute workingmen, he called attention to
his inability to be of much service to them.
Il know" he said, that misery and lack
of employment are great, and it grieves
me deeply. But what can l do? Had l
the power / could do a great deal. | am
not SO hard and heartleSs as your social
istic newspapers paint me. My power is

early in life. She was only thirteen years
old when her first story was published.
Since then she has published great num-
Der of stories, sketches, poems and other
literary matter.
At the time of her removal to the west
Iowa was border state. The life she saw
was rough but picturesque. 1t made a
deep impression on her susceptible mind,
and she has reproduced it in her stories
and sketches with vividness and fidelity
that are remarkable. Her poetry deals
also with life and scenery in the west.
One of the best of her productions is 'To
Mount Rainere," a beautiful portrayal of
this great peak Of the Puget sound coun-
try. She is now at work on a long. illus
trated poem entitled "Wsunenah," the
name borne by an Indian seeress renowned
among the Menominees. This poem will
soon be published, as it is now in the
hands of the printers.
Mrs Price is a pleasing looking woman
She is a pronounced brunette. Although
somewhat retiring, she bears herself with
ease, grace and dignity.

Janan,s Wonderful Clock.

A remarkable clock in Japan is made to
represent a monday landscape of great
beauty. 1t is in frame three feet wide
and five feet long. Plum and cherry trees
and rich plants in full bloom appear in the
foreground. Behind them rises a hill of
gradual ascent. Down its sides flows a
stream made of crystal, which loses itself
in far off woodla In the sky there is
a sun turning on silver wire and strik-
ing the hours on silver bell as it passes
on its course. A creeping tortoise marks
each hour. At the end of each hour a
bird with beautiful plumage sings song;
at its close a mouse appears at the EN-
trance of a grotto, and, scampering over
the hill. is soon lost to sight.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1892-04-10

be added that in the directory the prince
appears as Michael Mills John the Baptist
as d. w. Taylor and Lucifer as r. II. Du-
rand, while the nine angels are women
who have followed the missionaries from
various places.
AS is quite fitting. Lucifer is the smart
man of the outfit, for he is treasurer and
the converts hand over their money to him
whenever he asks for it. The Disciples
now occupy five houses on Hamlin avenue
and are going to build a great brotherhood
house. There are also little colonies at
various places in Ohio, Indiana and Can
ada who are to gather in when the time
comes. for in little while the millenial
wind up begins and only the IA, 600 whose
names are on the Flying Roll will be saved.
All this they deduce from few texts in
Daniel, jeremiah and Zechariah, but the
latest heavenly information rests chiefly
on the revelations of James j. JeZreel,
who, in England, in 1887, compiled the
Flying Roll and Key to the Old and New
Testaments" Reduced 30 its lowest terms
his book Git contains 800 pages is simply
the old "Ten Lost Tribes" business over
again in a new shape. These tribes have
reappeared in the shape of Engishmen and
Americans.
OF course such fanatics are more or less
at loggerheads with their neighbors, and
on two or three occasions only police vigi-
lance has saved Prince Michael from mobs.
A few years ago he was just an ignorant
molder at Elgin, Ont. He was first
awakened by Mormon missionaries, but
found the true faith in Jezreel's book. He
has been sued by husbands for alternating
their wives affections and by one father to
regain possession of his daughter. Never
theless the few who have seeded from the
community declare that its marriage rela-
tions are moral The men never cut hair
or beard and look very much like detected
lions. Such is the latest phase of the ever
varying religious mania.
