SELF JUDGED AUTHORS.

Whittier regarded his war lyrics as the
best of all his writings.
Hume thought moro of his Essays
thar he did of his ''History of England.
Gibbon declared that when the ''Declino
and Fall of the Roman Empire" was com
pleted, II felt my fame to be secure
Bailey, the author of "Festus," said
that his book was his life, and contained
the whole experience Of the human race.
Montgomery rested his fame on his
"Pelican Island" a work now forgotten,
he is best remembered.
Adam Smith, the author of the wealth
of Nations" regarded his book with the
genuine love of an author. He was often
seen reading it with apparent satisfaction.
Locke fancied that he was great writ
or on the subject of education and seems
to have valued his educational writings
more highly than he did the Essay on the
Human Understanding"
Richardson, like many other novelists,
considered his first work as his best. Late
in life he said, when speaking of one OF
his then recent works, II shall never be
able to EXCEL Pamela. ~
Thomson always declared that he had
done his best on the ''Castle Of Incidence, -
poem that is now known only by namo.
He said that 1.-THE Seasons" was written
in a hurry and did not represent his bost
thoughts.
Moore thought "Lalla Rookh" was his
best, but relied on his songs to carry his
name down to postority. He was fondest
of the Irish melodies, and sang them to
perfection in a rich voice that brought out
the full significance Of every word.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.

DEPOTLOCHTION.
II General Public Interest in
the Proposed Re-
mOVal.

The proposition of the Northern
Pacific company to build a new
passenger depot and locate it nearer
the business center of the city is
attracting considerable attention.
The location of the depot will in a
measure direct travel ON the street
leading to it. Broadway property
owners are anxious that it should
be on Broadway, and those owning
property on First avenue south are
in favor Of having it on that
thorOughfare. The First ward in
fluences are united, and they have
three active and harmonious alder
men to further their interests. 1t
has been the policy fo1 some time to
draw every public business building
or business into the First ward,
and the efforts in the past have been
uniformly successful. For some
reason or another the balance OF the
city has repeatedly placed in their
power to exercise an unwarranted
Influence in public affairs, and the
result has been always the same.
The desire Of the public do not
count for much when their wishes
are Oppressed to the interests of a
few property owners in the south
part of the city, and experience is a
true teacher of that fact.
1t will be some time before the
matter can be finally settled, but
the first move in the proceedings will
be made before the city council on
Monday night.

If anyone desires to be thrilled
with a real 24-carat thrill. all that is
needful is to take il the free show on
the West side. The small building
where the medical circus goes on
was crowded with men, women and
children Monday night. The exercises
opened with a talk by White Eagle,
Grand Fakir of the SeminOles. He
extolled the virtues of Ohmy or Toe
my, or something like it. and having
put some silverware with each box,
succeeded in catching a few. 10
make it more interesting, he an
nounced that a. gold" watch was
to be given away Eext week. and
placing tickets with the medicine,
sold several boxes and bottles. Al
ter his talk, which was a queer
tumble Of patriotism, scripture, ETC.,
and interlarded with a word or SO
like Hippocrates and Galen, just to
paralyze the audience, began the
show proper. The first performer
was OF the blood of the Howards-
Harry Howard-and truly the like
of his Irish speciality has never
been seen on any stage. The audi
ence applauded, however, and the
modern Roscius condescended to
sing about his adventures in gay
Paree." Then bea uteous vision
glided on the stage, fair, fair, with
golden hair" and gave the audience
a song about cherry blossoms and
he true, love, etc., and wrought the
feelings of the listeners up to a high
pitch. While the audience tried to
still their throbbing hearts, White
Eagle gave some limitations. Being
now hardened. the audience stood
this "act" quite well. Finally Mr..
Howard closed the evenings de-
lights with an exhibition of buck
and wing dancing. Surely Tep-
sichore herself never saw anything
like it, and once would have been
enough. Thus closed an evening
which will ever remain bright
jewel in the diadem of memory. If
you want joy in huge chunks, the
West side has it ready for you.

A LIBERAL WATERLOO.
Other Defeats Likely to Follow That of
Hareourt's.

New YORK, July l5.-A dispatch te
the World from London says: 1.-THE
defeat OF Sir William Harcourt is very
| likely to be followed by that of three
other leaders, Roseberry men. Her.
bert Asquith, Campbell-Bannerman
and John Morely hold. their seats by
small majorities, and all the present
indications are that the close seats
will be uniformly carried by the
unionists. 1t is the English custom
when a party leader is beaten, for
some obscure supporter, who has q
soft seat, to offer it to the defeated one.
But this is always loss of prestige to
the leader who is repudiated by his
own constituency.
tit is like a liberal Waterloo, but
Mr.. Chamberlain faction is only a
little less disappointed than the
liberals, for if there is to he. as seems
likely, a unionist majority in the next
house of above 100 the tory section
can almost afford to ignore the LIBERAL
unionist vote. 1t is certain that tho
tories will do so if they can.
1.-THE labor candidates at Saturdays
elections, having no hope of their own
success, cost the liberals three seats.
In return Keir Hardie, the labor
champion, in the house, will be de-
feated by the active hostility of the
Irish voters in his constituency. In
Ireland the situation is deplorable..
OF course. there was the Redmond
split to begin with, and now Timothy
Healy has fatally divided the Nc
Carthyite party. The really patriotic
Irish leaders today are hopeless. Sex
ton, the ablest of them, certainly will
retire in disgust. Redmond, owing to
HealeY's recent attacks on his own
associates, is likely to capture two
seats in Cork next Wednesday. DAILY,
who was elected in Limerick the other
day, is in Portland prison for dyna-
mite offenses, and he will be denied a
seat,
"John Parnell is the Redmondite
candidate from Meath. AT meeting

letter concerning him from his brother,
Charles Stewart Parnell, was read by
priest. 1t was written in 1888, and
began as follows: 1 cannot commend
my brother John as a candidate for
county Carow or any other Irish con-
stituency, as do not think he would
make suitable representative.
1T is Kilkenny fight all around.
It has helped put the tories in power
again for an indefinite period, and
Ireland will continue to be sacrificed
to private hatred and ambitions"

Modern Nimrods.

M. ]. Anderson and G. P. Balch are
the nimrods of Fifteen Mile, and their
reputation is not chimercial and rest
ing on airy foundations; but they have
won their renown by feats in hunting
which challenge comparison. They
are superior shots, and delight In
hunting game under the greatest diff
culties. If there are birds within the
vicinity of Dufur they are certain to
be the victims of the unerring aim Of
these sportsmen. They are thoroughly
equipped for sport, and possess the
best improved guns and the most thor
ough bred dogs. Prairie chickens are
very plentiful in the grain fields, and
Messrs. Anderson and Balch keep the
number Of these within reasonable
limits. During the last few days the
residents of Dufur have feasted on wild
fowl, and yesterday he remembered
the editorial fraternity with brace of
fine chickens. To say they are palat-
able would be mild expression. They
are truly delicious, and appear to sat-
isfy hunger and create an Oliver Twist
craving for more.
