Australia Is really the sntipodes OF the

Summer tine comes during the time OF
European winter: the rising barometer
indicates rain, and the falling the oppo-
site: the swans are all black and the
eagles white the male lays eggs, and has
q bill like a duck; the native dogs never
bark: the serpents have tails like fishes
and wings like bats; the prickly pear
grows 70 be tail tree. and the poplars
and oaks seldom grow above FIVE feet in
height: the elm has hairs in place OF
feathers; the birds are without song
the sun is in the north a. noon. the chief
rivers flow inland; the pear tree grows a
fruit that is beautiful TO look upon. but
which, when ripe. is as hard as though
fashioned from the wood Of the tree itself;
the leaves OF the trees all stand edge
wise and cast no shadows: the stone or
pit OF the cherry is on the outside. and
must be cracked in order 10 get at the
meat: the opossums fly like bats. the
kinghsher never catches fish. but lives on
fruits; the peas are poisonous; the oaks
bear no acorns. the chestnuts are with
out burr, and, in many instances, the trees
are hollow. with the bark on the inside.

The governor viii today listen TO OBJ
1ections TO letting a contract for the fill
Ing in OF the tide lands at Smiths cove.
Unless good reasons shall be offered
against II, and II the bond presented is
unquestionaoly strong. there seems to be
ground for believing that beneficial results
would follow the work. The strongest
argument in favor of letting a contract
now is that it would be much more diff
cult to do the work after the lands have
been cut up and disposed Of TO private
owners.

Anacortes American: A report is going
the rounds of the press that Gov. Nc
Graw will retire from political life at the
end of his present term as governor, but
the report seems to lack the semblancs
of authority and il is possible that II was
started either by some idle political gos-
siper or by some politician who may be
after the governors scalp. There is no
reason why Gov. McGraw should retire
from politics. He is in the prime of life
and in the ordinary course of events
would have a long and useful public
career before him. He is today stronger
with his party and with the people than
when elected three years ago. His course
in the capacity of governor has been hon
est. clear-cut and full of courage, never
faltering in the performance of duty.
OF course, Gov. McGraw has not pleased
all classes of people or factions of his
party. The politicians ''for revenue only
are not pleased. But the lover of good
government is not often heard complain
ing about the conduct of the office of gov
ernor as administered by the present in
cumbent.

THE HERO OF BULL HILL

And Companion Shot by Marshal Kelly,
 of Altman. Col
 CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, May 14.-Jack Smith, the famous leader of the Bull Hill miners, was shot and badly wounded by Marshal Jack Kelly, of Altman, last evening. The marshal also shot George Popst, miner, who was with Smith. The shooting caused a reign of terror in the great gold camp. The miners threaten to avenge the death of their late war captain, and all saloons have been closed in Victor and Altman. Martial law has practically been declared.
 Sunday night Jack Smith shot out all of the lights in Dan Foley's saloon in Victor. Yesterday morning he was arrested and placed under bonds. As soon as he was released he went to Altman. the miners camp. and pro- ceeded to terrorize the inhabitants Marshal Kelly ordered him out of town. Jack Smith then opened fire and Popst stood by him. Kelly re- turned the fire and shot down both men. escaping injury himself

 osgo, to be Dedicated May 80, i'm Oak l ~oous Cemetery-some of the Noted 1ohIederates Who VIII Participate in the Ceremonies.
 CHICAGO, May 13.-In the southern end or Oakwoods cemetery IS an el- iiptical plot of ground which contains aoout three acres, and is made beauti. n ui oy profusion of maple trees. ms patch of earth is one of the most historic In Chicago, for it covers the oones o1 6,OOO confederate private sol. uiers who died while in confinement at UamP Douglas between 1862 and 1865. | ne mortality at Camp Douglas was large The men detained there had spent their lives in the balmy climate or the south, and the rigor of the northern winters did deadly work among them.
 ten. John c. Underwood. a southern officer in command of the northern di. visions of the United Confederate Vet erans' was delegated to raise funds for the erection of monument. The fund started with s1, ,500 derived from a lee. ture given in Chicago by Gen. Gordon. of Georgia. Citizens of Chicago also subscribed Sl0,00O.
 It took three years to build the mon- ument. It now stands forty feet from the ground to the top of the figure which surmounts it. The pedestal is of pearl granite from quarries at Con- stltution hlll, near Atlanta. This gran ite Is of very close grain, and is sus- cePtible of brilliant polish. The monument was erected in July. 1893. It's lower base is 15 feet inches square, and upon it are laid three other bases. On the front of one of them, cut in raised and polished letters of bold outlines. are sne words: "Confederate Dead" The upper base is adorned with a series of rich moldings and on the front of this stone is placed an enlarged model of the confederate seal, worked in bronze. representing in relief a mounted sol dier, Gen. Washington, inclosed within wreath, wrought by entwining the foliage of products of the south.
 The die of the monument made of one massive stone, the dimensions be- ing feet inch square by feet 10 inches high, and has re-enterlng angles which are filled with groups of cluster columns terminating in richly-carved Romanesque caps. Upon the north face is worked in incised letters upon a polished panel this inscription:

GRAPE CROP RUINED,
Loss Estimated at from One and Half to
 Two Millions.

DUNKIRK, N. Y., May 14.-Frost has ruined the entire grape crop of the Chautauqua grape belt. The loss is at least s1,500,0O0 That figure was the value of last years crop, and by reason of new acreage coming into bearing, the crop this year would have been much larger. The vines were loaded down with blossoms Sunday evening, but yesterday, from one end of the belt to the other. the vineyards were nothing but blackened ruins, with the appearance of having been visited by fire. There will be no cher ries.
 Gerry Hickman, the millionaire grape grower and wine manufacturer, says the loss in the belt by reason of the destruction done to the grapes will reach at least 8, 900, GOO. His own loss he estimates at S250, 900.
