New YORK, July 9O.-But yesterday
Edwin Booth passed FROM among US
aud now comes the distressing news
that the illness OF Joseph jefferson, the
brightest ornament Of our stage, threat
ems to have a fatal termination. This
news will everywhere be received with
the keenest aud most poignant regret,
for no actor Of the present time has e.
deared himself to a wider circle OF ad
mirers and friends than has Jefferson
by his refined and beautiful art and his
noble and generous qualities as mao.
The story OF his life has often been
tod, but is always interesting. Sprung
from family distinguished for
three generations on the English and
American stage, he was born on Feb
ruary 90, 1929. He himself has writ

went up from the people; the walkers
slim body shot down, half turned and
hong there BY the legs. It was a great
act and IL was some minutes before the
crowd got down to breathing regularly
again.
On the night Of the Fourth he wen
out TO walk across under cover OF dark
ness. This has never been done sue
cessfully. Peer tried IL once and ended
his career. He went out one night TO
try the feat. The next morning his
body was found on the bank OF rocks
below. He had fallen before he had
gone twenty feet.
Ii was Q 80 when Calvery came out,
The gorge was black as a pocket
Ii was a weird, uneanny scene, agreat
black chasm stretching from one shore
TO the other. and across II q cable
which disappeared into the blackness In
the middle. Rehectors had been ar
ranged TO throw a light on the cable
but they did not work, and Calvery
went on, 10 the dark.
When be started people could see
him until he got hundred feet or so
out from the Canadian shore, and then
be was swallowed Up In the darkness
No one knew whether he was on the
cable or not. The people could only
watch for his temperance In the
light on the American shore.
When the people were beginning to
get very puXiOus about him, there ap-
peared FAR out on the cable a little
fash OF red light. which blaZed no
white. Then lt went out, and In It's
place was a shower OF sparks, 10 the
midst stood CAlvery shooting OF Roman
candles.
Ii was revelation to the people, and
it was the lrst time the walking OF the
gorga I'm the darkness had ever been
successfully accomplished.

The cable was stretched by PEERS
brother and was $40 feet long. Dixon
had walked IL and crossed 10 in twelve
minutes. Cavery thought 10 would be
q good thing TO go in the record break
ing business az the start Of his career,
and he announced that he would lower

70 settle his fate Ia the minds Of the
3 people who were gathered on the banks
Of the water and the bridges.
Here was q boy who was going 10
attempt 70 smash records made by a
careful and experienced walker, a boy
with only three weeks experience.
The crowd could not see how be was
going TO accomplish anything but his
own destruction.
Calvery is only twenty-six years old
and slightly built, but he has wonder
ful amount OF nerve aud has strong,
confident face. When he made his
irst trip be walked out on the cable
swiftly and with q firm tread. he
never faltefs, The cable sagged in
she middle and over this part be walked

other size OF the middle he started on
shulllrg run and reached the American
end 81 che cable on a dos trOt. The
stop watches showed be had made the
trip ia 6m. So. DlxOn's best time was
10 minutes. For awhile this satisfied
the young man, who Immediately
claimed the title Of champion highWire
walker OF the world.

another trip over the gorge on July 4.
His Intention was TO break his own
record, and be did &c, passing over the

which witnessed this feat numbered
between 10, 600 and $4,000 people, and
they were amazed 40 the fapidity with
which the bOyish igufe moved on the
slender thread stretched across the
gorge.
When Calvery left the canadian shore
be started running as an Indian rams.
He did not pause when be reached the

THE military condition of Europe is
something appalling. In 1869 the aev-
eral armies numbered e,95S, 600; in 1892
they numbered %, ,24S, 900. Germany is
credited with 100000, France with
1850, 900 and Russia with 1000. 900.
The cost OF maintaining the European
armies mas increased from $445, 900, 900
in 1869 to $500, 900 in 1892. And
yet the end is not reached. Ii the Ger
man military bill now before the Reich
stag passes, the increase that measure
will give to the German army will be
met by the other powers with a COM
mensurate increase. The question is
where will this rivalry between the
leading European powers end? 1t can
not 90 on forever. There is limit be-
yond which no country can 60 in the
shape OF taxation to maintain standing
armies. The fact that Emperor William
has met with powerful and determined
opposition in his present measure, looks
as If the tide OF militarism had reached
its full, and must turn the other way.

THE decision of Judge Seawell. grant
ing a new trial to Flood, the cashier of
the Donohoe bank, has caused great
deal of uneasiness amongst bankers.
The reasons the judge assigns for grant
ing Flood new trial are that the daily
returns of the cash in the bank as made
by Flood to the directors are to be con-
eidered in the light of confession, and
the count must be proven by other
evidence, or as confession it would
not hold good in law to sustain con-
viction. In other words if banks want
to be safe from spoliation by their conf
Dental clerks, they must see that the
count of cash in the vaults is made
every day before third parties who
would be competent to give testimony
that would convict in case of the dis
covery of embezzlement. This principle
carried to other trusts would make con-
viction of larceny impossible.

it is perfectly true. Senators John P.

tiated in the report OF the senatorial

ance and the excellence OF its exhibits.
Here one may wander about half q day
OF whole day and never get tired, for
the displays Of nearly all the different
states are artistic and beautiful. Cali
fornia does not come up to the standard
expected of IL by UaliforHians and
others. No state in the union can sur.
pass California as an agricultural state,
wnen 1t is considered tn the number
and size OF its productions. It does not
mage 9s good an agricultural disnlav,
as the i've southern counties of Califor-
MIA made in the Rialto building for two
years, ending last July. There are states
that only exhibit half q dozen produc-
tlons that make more enticing agricul-
tural show than that of California.
The machinery building is at last in
perfect shape, and the world may now
see, II II likes, the greatest engines and
other machinery that has ever been in
motion. II is q beautiful building
throughout.
The transportation building is com
plete, and is one OF the choices resorts
where may be seen hundreds of locomo-
tives and cars OF the finest patents OF
Europe and America, and thousands OF
carriages from the tallyho down to q
baby carriage that closes when baby is
out and may be carried under the arm.
The electricity building is now consid-
cred complete. and there are enough ex-
hibits to please all visitors. Still there
are some that are yet untinished.
The mines and mining building may
be said to be in complete condition, and
all the great states and all the great
countries of the world, large and small,
have done their best.
The California genealogical displays
in the horticultural building are still |
kept up in state of excellence and at |
tract great attention, especially the de-
signs in oranges and lemons by South |
ern California. As / have heretofore |
stated the exhibits of Cahfornia in this
building are confined to seven Southern
California counties, with the exception
OF a few plates and few jars of fruits
from Santa Clara and Butte counties.
