Bullock Teams Against Railroads,

An instance of road versus rail com petition occurred here on Saturday, when three bullock teams laden with general merchandise arrive ill Castertor from Portland for Messrs. H. & G. liar. ris. The goods had been brought by steamer from Melbourne to Portland, when they were loaded up by the well known teamsters, Messrs. G. Humphries, J. Taylor and A. McEachern, who drove 16 bullocks each. The drivers left Port. land on Saturday week, where they had gone with loads of wool. They give the roads generally a good name and state that on the route they were frequently spoken to as to the competition against the railway and a return of the good old days when the brllocks held full sway of the roads.-Casterton Australia News

To Cross the Ocean In a cockIesheIl

A novel experiment in Ocean naviga- tion is to be attempted by Nottingham enthusiast who has been occupying him. self for year past with the construc- ton of boat in which he proposes to crossthe Atlantic during the summer. The vessel, which is built of iron and is entirely of his own design and make, is only 10 feet 6 inches long, with feet beam and 2 feet 6 inches depth, and is thus the smallest craft that has ever at tempted such an adventurous voyage. It is what is known as ''whaleback" deck, and the cabin, lighted by glass windows at the side, will be completely water tight when closed, fresh air being obtained by pipes.
 Should the tiny craft be overturned the inventor claims that it will automat- ically right itself. She will be fitted with a 10 foot mast from the fore deck with jib and mainsail, and additional motive power will be supplied by a geared hand screw. The navigator intends to start from Nottingham, sailing down the Trent to Hull, and making for the At lantic by way of the English channel. He expects that the trip will occupy him something over a month.-London Tele- graph.

Danger of Cynicisnl.

 come cynical and given to believe, as David was tempted to say, that all men are liars Oh, my friends, do not let that be the effect upon your souls! If you cannot endure little persecution, how do you think our fathers endured great persecution? Motley, in his Dutch Republic, tells us of Egmont, the martyr, who, condemned to be be- headed, unfastened his collar on the way to the scaffold, and when they asked him why he did that he said: ''So they will not be detained in their work. I want to be ready" Oh, how little we have to endure compared with those who have gone before us!
 Now, if you have come across i'll treat ment, let me tell you you are in excel lent company-Christ and Luther and Galilei and Columbus and John Jay and Josiah Quincy and thousands of men and women, the best spirits of earth and heaven.
 Christ Can Understand.
 Budge not one inch, though all hell wreak upon you its vengeance, and you be made target for devils to shoot at. Do you not think Christ knew all about persecution? Was he not hissed at? Was he not struck on the cheek? Was he not pursued all the days of his life? Did they not expectorate upon him? Or, to put it in Bible language, ''They spit upon him. And cannot he understand what persecution is? Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee. "
 Then there are others who carry great burdens of physical ailments. When sudden sickness has come, and fierce choleras and malignant fevers take the castles of life by storm, we appeal to God, but in these chronic ailments which wear out the strength day after day, and week after week, and year aft CT year, how little resorting to God for solacsl Then people depend upon their

NOT HIS NETTIE.
The Neustadter's Father Says 1t Is
All Mistake.

San Francisco. Aug. 31.-A story was
published by a morning paper in this
city connecting Mrs. Nettie Neustadter
with the scandal in the family Of
William i. Vanderbilt The story was
founded on the similarity between her
name and that of the gay Parisienne,
Nellie Neustretter. who is said to have
1ured the American millionaire from
the path of domestic rectitude.
Mrs. NeuStadter'S father is Benjamin
Cohen. of this city: He said, in an in
terview:
ut is absurd to say that this motor
3ous woman and my daughter Nettie
are the same person. 1 have been re-
ceiving letters from her for the last

WAITE Is DISCHARGED.
Other Defendants i'm the Conspiracy
Case, However, Are Held.

Denver. Aug. Ex-Governor Waite
was a witness today before United
States Commissioner Hinsdale, in the
case against himself, President Null
Inns. of the police board, Chief of Po-
lice Armstrong and Police Matron
Dwyer. for Withholding from ex-Ma-
iron Likins letter for her. Waite de-
MED the conspiracy absolutely. The
letter. he said, was given him to read.
After reading it, he handed it back.
He considered it of little Importance.
He was opposed to the removal of Mrs.
Likens. and never gave Mrs. Dwyer
any encouragement to expect the place.
Mrs. DR.. Love, a friend of Mrs. Lii
kens. testified the governor told her the
removal was made because of a letter
compromising Mrs. Likens. The gov
ernor gave her letter to Armstrong, re-
questing him to let her see the letter.
Armstrong sent her to Mullins, who
would not let her see the letter.
j. Warner Mills, leading Populist
and lifelong friend of Mrs. Likens,
testified that Mullins told him the
proofs against Mrs. Likins were strong,
but refused to show them. This closed
the testimony.
The commissioner denied the motion
TO dismiss the case for want Of juris-
diction. District Attorney Johnson in
d Sp66CH, uGCldISu lIdl MullluS anu
Mrs. Dwyer were the leading conspira-
tors. but Governor Waite and Chief
Armstrong, in allowing themselves to
be used to carry out the conspiracy,
were equally guilty.
At the conclusion Of the arguments
Commissioner Hinsdale discharged
Governor Waite. and held the other de-
PENDANTS to the United States grand
jury, in the sum of $500 each. The
commissioner said Matron Dwyer had
the right to open the envelope, but
when she found the letter inside was
addressed to Mrs. Likens, she should
have delivered it to her. A conspiracy
among the defendants to injure Mrs.
Likins had not been clearly shown, but
the Withholding of the letter was a
clear violation of the law. The evil
ldence. however. failed to show that the
governor had anything to do with de-
tanning the letter.

Rhine Cliff, N. Y, Aug. S1.-The fol-
lowing letter explains itself:
''Ellerslie, Rhine-Cliff-O n-Hudson, N.
Y, Aug. 81, 1894.
I'm response to the very large num-
Der of suggestions made to me that I
should declare my attitude with refer
ence to the Republican state conven-
ton, address myself to the Republic
cans of the state Of New York. and
beg to say that while the suggestions
are in themselves unusual, 1 venture to
express the hope the urgency in the
public journals for the announcement
of my decision was not occasioned by
any undue hesitation on my part.
Il am certainly not seeking any
nomination from the convention. I
have been absent from the country so
long, and so far away. that no one can
refer to the slightest movement on my
part to cause a decision in which my
name has been used with the names Of
other Republicans who are deServedly
honored throughout the state for their
services and character. I have put
myself in nobody's way, nor have [ suf-
fered anyone to do that for me, which
L disclaim for myself.
American soil, after twelve months
absence, and having examined the situ-
alton as well as possible in that period.
beg to say that in the approaching
councils of the party in convention as
sembled, L desire to be regarded as a
soldier in the Republican army, ready
to receive the commands of my fellow
citizens of like persuasion in public
policy with myself, whether those COM
mands involve leadership or service in
the ranks.
when L left the vice-presider4's
chair and since, I have had no thought,
much less desire, to re-enter public life.
Manifold considerations regarding my
family, which L have no right to
obtrude upon the public, led me to de-
sire to spend the remainder Of my days
in retirement.
"By the kindness of my countryrnen,
having held high official positions at
home and abroad; L am profoundly
content to let the record stand. But
do not understand me to imply that
look lightly upon the Office of governor
of New York. 1 know something Of
the resources, the capacities and the
needs of the Empire state, and I ap-
preciate their importance, the useful
ness and the honor of the great office
of the chief executive Should I be
called to fill it, l shall strive earnestly
to serve the people with steadfastness
of purpose and to faithfully administer
a public trust"
FINALLY. 1 aver in the sincerest
terms, if the convention shall prefer to
see any other name than mine upon
the Republican banner, [ shall accept
| the result without regret or sense Of
injury, and will give to the successful
candidate my hearty and unwavering
support.
Trusting the action of the conven-
ton will be harmonious and rebound
to the best interests of the party and
state, l remain, with great respect,
Your obedient servant,

of Half a Million.

Washington. Aug. S1.-The war de-
partment has granted a discharge to
Grover Flint, a private in troop A of
the United States cavalry, stationed
at Fort Meyer, to allow him to become
possessor of fortune that is estimated
at half a million dollars. The young

known as Grover Flint. He enlisted in
the cavalry with the understanding of
becoming an officer under the law that
alloys privates to rise to commissions.
He was in the army for two years and

ton for his commission and today
would have taken his last eXaminat ton

Chicago, Aug. 31.-The Herald says:
Mrs. w. K Vanderbilt has been un-
popular socially for long period. Two
summers ago at Newport comment on
fhe Irritation between Mrs Vanderbilt
and o. p Belmont was very general
and unfavorable, and only the immense
wealth of the family kept condemna-
ton down. They We're constantly to
gether, and he was one of the few wis
ktors admitted to the marble hoLse.
Their intimacy was so noticeable that
the general talk was that divorce
would surely be procured. After Mr..
Vanderbilt returned to Newport the
gossip increased. AS far as could be
{ 5udged outward harmony prevailed,
and when Mr.. and Mrs. Vanderbilt left
Newport in the early autumn, they
drove to New York in a barouche with
four horses. Mr.. Belmont was one of
to Oal1dale, their Long Island country
seat Mr. Vanderbilt was in England
seeing to the construction of his new
yacht, during the following winter.
Mrs. Vanderbilt remained at her Fifth
avenue residence and Mr.. Belmont con-
tinued his attentions. Early in the sea-
son of 1893 Mrs. Vanderbilt returned to
Newport and opened her marble house
and matters were much the same as
usual until the arrival of Mr.. Wander
bilt. After that there was a visit to
Chicago, with Mr.. Belmont on hand as
usual and then came the projected
grip on the Vigilant, which ended, as
livery one said it would, disastrously.
Dr. Belmont was, it is believed, per-
y uaded with great difficulty to go. He
IS not a man Of means. 1t was the talk
at the time that it was Hoyt who was
urged to be one Of the party and de-
clined when he ascertained that Mr..
Belmont was TO go along.
The general gossip at Newport now is
that w. K. Vanderbilt wants to be free
and marry the Duchess of Manchester.
