Ma Wy LECTURE.

Mr.. Williams is a thorough believ-
er in the need of strong American
navy, and in an interview in the
Worcester Post on the success of the
Japanese in their war says:
"And when the gigantic East shall
have aroused itself to resist and revenge
the Sights and insults ofour petty scorn,
there will be need of something stronger
than Geary laws and tariff bills for our
protection. AS never before we are con-
fronted with conditions, and these condi-
tions are the strategic key between two
island empires, one strong with the
bravery of recent victory, the other
mighty with the courage of we'll nigh
universal dominion. The first broadside
from the royal navy would send our
white squadrons to the skies or with
Banquo's ghost, and the onset from Asia
will roll our march to the West back to
the Cordilleras.
In the impending crisis the individual
and his government that has q well
grounded reliance upon heavy artillery
will have the best chance for providen-
tial favors."

RECENT DEATHS.

Mr.. and Mrs. Luman A Ladd have
been gres tly afflicted in the death of
Their little Ia months old daughter,
Ellen Clara, which occurred early
Monday morning. 1t was taken Fri
day night with what seemed only a
slight cold, and on Sunday morning
it sat at the table with the family.
There was no apprehension of danger
until about the hour it expired. 1t
was bright and healthy child, and
was dearly loved by all the family.
God only gave them their darling for
day, and then the precious one He
takes again to himself. May that
loving hope such as Christ gives
console the hearts of the bereaved
household. F.V. P.

school in the country. The teachers are
able and successful artists--for the most
part graduates of the leading art schools of
Europe. Above all that, they have the
vigor, health and ambition of young Cali
fornians, and the most natural environ
ment that an artist could wish. Although
the scenery of California has furnished
subjects for long list of great paintings,
its possibilities and beauties have been
hardly touched.
Considering the short time in which the
school has been conducted, under the
present conditions, it has accomplished re-
markable results. The more its varied ex-
cellencies are appreciated by our people
the higher its efficiency will become 1t
has forced its way to recognition against
heavy odds, and this success makes it safe
to predict that the institution will before
long be regarded as the greatest in the
country. When that time arrives we shall
see an influx of students from all parts of
the United States.

PLEASURE IN PROSPECT.

Should success attend the efforts which
San Jose is making to secure the next an
nual convention of the National Associa-
ton of Letter-carriers of America, the
visitors will be introduced to scenes, beau
ties and activities utterly strange to their
experience and immeasurably delightful
Whether they come frcm Florida, with its
romantic history, crystalline rivers and
mystical forests of pine; or from Maine,
with its high breast of rock opposed to the
turbulent sea and its hills and mountains
of dark northern verdure; or from one of
the Middle or Western States, with their
noble rivers, broad fields of grain, splendid
cities working out their destiny with ag-
gressive energy; or from that wild tangle
of natural and artificial conditions lying
between the Rocky Mountains and the
Sierra Nevada, they will find many things
at San Jose and elsewhere in California
that will enchant while bewildering them.
They will understand what Bayard Tay-
Tor meant when he declared that ''the
Santa Clara Valley is one of the three most
beautiful valleys on EARTH" and they will
discover there many beauties which were
not In existence when Taylor wrote. Itself
pearl, San Jose is merely the exquisite
adornment of infinitely graceful charms
which nature has provided. Down to its
very streets extend the broad miles of or
chard and vineyard which carpet the val
ley and roll onward over the hills which
lie at the feet of the bordering mountains.
From one of these lofty elevations-even
from Los Gates, in the lower mountains
eight miles away-the visitor may behold
hat iaL h.
the Promised Land revealed to the leader
OF the homesick wanderers in the desert.
The floor of the valley, looking so wide
while it is being traversed, narrows in per-
spective, and its square arrangement of
many colors becomes broad lines of bril-
liant hues. Along the east stretch the dun
slopes of the Coast Range, dominated by
Mt. Hamilton, on the summit of which
glitters the nickel dome of the great Lick
Observatory. The northern horizon. a
shimmering blaze of silver, discloses the
Bay of San Francisco, which in itself and
in its splendid environment constitutes
one OF the wonders of the world.
At San Jose the visitors will be toasted
on fruits and wines more delicious and
wholesome than any their imagination
had conceived outside the revelations of the
Arabian Nights" and the ministrations
of Aladdin's genii. They will find all ma
ture luxuriating in semi-tropical condi-
tons, and genial sun and bland breezes
that bring vigor and ambition to all living
things. And better than all these, they
will find people in whom the finest and
warmest instincts of the race have been
developed by the influences of rich nat
ural environment into their noblest form.

MEXICAN INDIGNATION.

The determination of the Mexican Gov
eminent to regulate the deck loading of
American steamers which touch at Next
can ports is the most pointed rebuke that
we have received in many day from a
foreign country. President Diaz has issued
orders that hereafter no vessel shall be
given clearance papers at Mexican ports
until her condition has been thoroughly
approved. Further news is to the effect
that the Indignation of our Mexican and
Central American neighbors, by reason of
the Colimas wrecking, is so acute that
should suits be brought there on account
of that disaster the Pacific Mail Company
would lose.
However amusing this situation and
however ridiculous the light in which it
places US, we must still be thankful to
know that American passengers on these
steamers are guaranteed protection by the
President of Mexico. This is merely an in
cident of the desire on the part of our
southern neighbors to protect the lives of
their own people, but we should be glad
that in the absence of precautions on our
own part to secure similar safety for our
people there are wise and humane foreign

rescue.
This is all the more welcome in view of
the fact that the laws under which we per-
NIT our ocean traffic to be conducted prac-
tically declare that American travellers
must assume all the risk and take their
lives in their own hands if they desire to
do so foolbardY a thing as to travel in
an American vessel, and in view of the
further fact our port authorities are gen.
orally more concerned over the wishes of
the steamship companies than on account
of the lives of passengers. Although 1t
would be difficult to make majority of the
people believe but that the Colima might
have been saved had it not been for the
overlooking of her deck, no change in the
custom has been made. On the contrary,
the newspapers only recently published
accounts ofequally dangerous overlooking,
presenting photographs as proof. Yet
nothing is done to stop it.
President Diaz may feel assured that
Americans appreciate his courage, patriot
ism and humane instincts, and that they
are grateful to him for securing to our
people protection which our laws and
their administrators do not vouchsa fe.

A SCHOOL OF ART.

The annual opening of the School of De-
sign last week is accompanied with indica-
tions of a popular growth of appreciation.
The classes are uncommonly large, and
although teachers are substantially the
same as last year the work has been dis
tributed among them so as to secure even
better results than before. And they are
all excellent teachers. 1t is highly graft
flying to observe the zeal which they dis
play and their determination to make
fame for the institution. 1t is only out of
such spirit as this that high reputation
can grow.
Why should not this become the most
famous art school in the country? 1t is at
tached to the State University, which has
built up a reputation based on excellence,
which no longer makes it necessary for
young men and women to be sent to East
ern and European colleges and universities
for high education. Through the admir-
able generosity of Mr.. Searles it is more
spIendidly housed than any other art

Mark Twain is not so cleaned out financially
as not to feel able to decline some very hand
