Tie Empress Augustus Ex.rayaeapce.

1t is net generally known that the
German Empress, in spite of her many
excellent qualities, is very ex,raya>
CANT and owes large sums OF money
to many OF the Berlin tradesmen, one
firm alone having a bill Of 500, Geo
marks, or fac, eco, against Her
Majesty. The Empress never wears
either q dress, a mantel or bonnet
the second time in public. and every.
thing that she buys is Of the very best.
1t is all the more surprising when i, is
secollected how extremely simple her
surroundings were before her marriage
to Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, and
even after the marriage, until her
husband succeeded to the Empire.
The Emperor is also very largely in
debt in spite OF the handsome present
made to him last spring by the Ems
press Frederick, Who advanced him a
million and half OF marks.

WOman's Curiosity.

Curiosity will prompt . woman to
use more ingenuity in trying to dis
cover another woman's age than
would be needed to invent a cuckoo
clock that would sing out "Hail
Columbia" every hour. Curiosity
makes woman pry into other people .
affairs to try and find out, if possible,
how much money they have, who was
their grandfather aud what is their
present business; but there is one type
OF curiosity stronger and more power
full even than those already stated,
that seizes a woman with a grip of
iron, when her neig hbors move.
What there is in the goods and
chatt.ls belonging to some one whose
"ame you possibly do no. know to stir
up such excitement in the usually
calm breast and well-bslanced MIND.
IS problem past every day compre-
henslsn, yet right down sensible
woman, with dressmak er in the house
At that, will either lean out Of the
window or sit as near to 1t a. she can
get tor better par, of FIVE hours Jus.
for the sake of watching a lot If fur
niture set out on the side walk and
then carried from sight.
The one who thoroughly revels in
this sort OF thing would tell YOU that
it was not from curiosity, hut from
desire to know what sort of people
these are that are moving, as she
argues that character can be read IN
the way picture is done up or a
sewing machine boxed, as we'll as by
actions. Therefore to be forewarned
is to be forearmtd, and it is the
worthy ambition to chose only for
friends such as display neatpe SIS, ndi-
ness and thrift in their belongings
that makes her sit by an open window
in an uncomfortable position for hours
at time in order to keep her eye on
the big van that is the sign manual of
someone's moving day.

Beauty often depends on
plumpness; SO does comfort;
so does health. If you get
thin, there is something
wrong. though you may feel
no sign of it.
Thinness itself is a sign;
sometimes the first sign;
sometimes not.
The way to get back
plumpness is by CAREFUL
LIVING. which sometimes in
cludes the use Of SCOTS

WOOD RIVER TINES
HALEY. IDAHO.
THE CONFERENCE TO BE BARREN
OF RESULTS,

Senator Jones, of Nevada, is not a
man who gives up easily. When,
therefore, he authorizes the statement
published that, owing to the adverse
comments Of the gold-bug press of
Now York aud other Atlantic cities,
he is almost discouraged, and con-
siders his task as delegate to the
International Monetary Conference
well.nigh hopeless, it is because he
believes what he says to be true.
The fact is that our boasted liberty
OF the press is anything but an un.
m xed evil. It is a great benefit
when the privilege is used by broad
m nded, conscientious man, who en-.
desvors to serve his community; but
when as is sometimes the case, the
privilege is in the hands of a oonsci-
enceless scrub it proves to be any>
thing but power for good.
In the matter under mention the
gold bug press certainly did, all it
could and Is doubtless still doing all
1t possibly can to disoredit the cause
advocated by Senator Jones and his
colleagues OF the Monetary Confer
once. This is therefore case where
the privilege Of the press becomes an
abuse.
Ii the hostile American press would
cease its attacks on the bi>m-taIlic
proposition, our delegates might be
able to do something in the direction
OF that free coinage for which the
Monetary Conference was called. But
inasmach as this is too much to ex
pecs from possibly subsidized or a,
least. pr+judiced press, i, is greatly to
be feared that the conference will BE
quite barren Of practical results.

Rev. B. Fay Mills commenced his discourse,
choosing his text from Acts iii: 4: "And
Peter fastening his eyes upon him, with
John, said, Look on u.s."
Mr.. Mills related graphically the story Of
the lame man, who looked on them aud
needed the command and was then cured
of his affection. All those present. said the
preacher, should heed the divine command
aud look to the Lord il they value their spir-
tual life.
lie exhorted those present 10 practice the
same disregard Of personal safety as Christ
did while on earth and look only to God,
aud mat alone would make man what lie Is
supposed to be-the image of the divine
Creator
DR.. Mills related a touching incident in
the lie Of John Vassar who, in his opin-
Ion, was one of the nOblest Christians lie
knew Of. He had been afflicted with an
incurable disease, which gave him intense
pain. and for DAYS at a time knew not what
rest was and restlessly paced his room in
terrible agony, but molly bore il and re-
marked to his nurse merely, How much
better even this suffering is than SIM" Mr..
Mlils told the story so eloQueutly that even

gallon had tears come 10 their ewes
Inc preacher deprecated the fact that
many who attended churches Sunday end
were apparently dcvaut Christians did so
only Tor show and ut heart were uubeley-
ers. liz made a striking comparison be-
tween the sw inc ard the sheep by saving
that, although the swine might be washed
whittier than snow, when returned to the
sly he would only wallOw again in filth,
while the sheep would avoid ii. So it was
with those apparent Christians who re-
turned from Gods church to wall0w again
In the filth OF sin, and for whom there was
no hope.
Mr.. Mills referred to an incident In the
lie OF the martyr President. Abraham Lin
coin, VINO had asked Mrs. PomerOy 10 &C
company him to a theater one evening, and
mat she had refused, but spoke to him of
religion and OF Christ. The President for
got all ABOUT the intended visit to the play
house and listened in rapt attention to the
words OF the good woman, only to meet a
tragic fste few DAYS later at the same
place be had intended visiting.
Mr. Mills commended tire work done by
the soldiers OF the Salvation A any, and
exhorted all those who would have the light
OF christianity shine from their eountenance
TO look on God and work in his behalf.
IL was announced that owing To the lin
TIED room In the churches, a grand revival
meeting would be held at the Mechanics
Pavilion on the evening Of August Is, which

A guardianship Case Disposed OF Favor

ably t. the Child.
Considering his duty in the premises full
filed by seeing that the child is freed from
all Illegal restraint, and leaving her free to
20 to the home Of her choice, Chief Justice
Beatty Of the Supreme Court discharged the
writ Of habeas corpus in behalf of Della G.
Gates, aged 10 years and ) months, whose
mother, Margaret j. Olsen, of Santa Clara
County, charged that she is unlawfully re-
strained by James Eldridge in Lassen
County.
There was no doubt that the mother is
the person legally entitled to the custody Of
the child, Mr.. Eldridge's appointment as
guardian ny the Superior Court of Shasta
County being void for want Of jurisdiction.
But Justice Beatty did not feel called upon
in view of the special circum stances OF the
case to make any cOerciye order TO enforce
the legal right of Mrs. Olsen.
She had voluntarily reiinQuished the Gaze
of the child, when the latter was scarcely
one year old, and ever since her second
year Alice has beer in the exclusive charge
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Eldridge, the latter q sister
Of the child's father. The natural and in
eyltable consequence has been that this
little glrl, knowing no other parents or I ro-
tectors, and never having seen her mother
more than twice in nearly nine years, had
become deeply attached to her aunt and
uncle, as they have TO her, and has come to
look on her mother as a stranger.
