ONE of the brightest lights in the
newspaper profession in the State of
Washington, or on the Pacific coast,
went out when Editor f. Fl. Adams, of
the Whatcom Reveille took his own
life in st. Paul last week. He was a
man OF brilliant attachments, a fine
sense of honor and integrity, and
though resolved and often cynical i'm
his manner, he had most kindly
heart and its is matter for sincere re-
greet that ill health or sorrow should
have driven him to still It's beatings
with his own hand. Those who knew
him best esteemed him most, and his
place will be hard to fill on the paper
that he loved SO we'll and upon which
he did so much brilliant. work.

Oldest House In New York.

One of tho few relics left of the early
colonial days is still standing at South.
ampton, n. Y. This town claims the pre-
eminence of being the oldest English town
IN tho state of New York, and the ancient
house referred to was built by Thomas
Sayre, one of the first settlers. 1t was
erected in l64s and has been handed down
from father to son in an unbroken line for
ten generations, the present owner being
tho direct descendant of the builder.
AT time of threatened Indian outbreak
IN 1866 1t was one Of the rallying places Of
the inhabitants in case of a night attack.
Ihe descendants of Thomas Sayre are very
numerous, both in this state and in New
Jersey The ancient mansion, which
stands on the main street of the village, is
an object OF curious interest to the multi
tude of city residents who find in that
quiet village by the sea a summer resting
place.
The massive timbers and covering OF
thick cedar shingles are sufficient to insure
It's remaining for years to come as a curl
Gus and interesting relic of a long past
age. OF no other house In the state can 1t
be said that ten generations have been
born and died within its walls.-New

WATCHES AND THEIR WEARERS.
Said to Reflect the Tempera
ments of Their Owners.

There appears to be some occult connec-
ton between watch and its owner. Else
why should a timepiecc go at one speed on
one person and at a different one on an
other? Read what q Washington jeweler
bias to say about the matter:
II used to have friend who had an ex-
ccllent Swiss watch, while 1 had one of
another make. BY mutual consert at one
time we exchanged watches, and though
they had gone all right before they changed
their gait entirely, mine running five
minutes ahead in couple of days and his
running five minutes behind. There was
ten minutes difference in our tempera-
ments. But that is nothing compared to
the difference between some people. Some
times watch that will run we'll on one
man will not go with another and there
are some people who cannot get watch
that will run on them at all.
Il remember a good many years ago 1
had man come to my place with an old
fashioned English lever silver watch to be
repaired. L had some very nice gold
watches in stock at the time and as he
looked well off 1 tried to sell him one but
he laughed and said if any of the gold
watches | had in the store would run "a
hours in his pocket he would give me twice
what asked for it. He said he had tried
all sorts of gold watches and had never
been able to get one that would run while
be had it. He had experimental with his
brothers watch only a little while before,
he said, and it cost him 49, 80 to have it
demagnetized after he had carried it in his
pocket two days. Most silver watches
acted the same way with him, but the old
English watch he was carrying had dou-
bic inside case to it and worked fairly
well.
I've never been able to tell whether the
average watch will run faster when it is
in Its owners possession or not There
seems to be no rule on the subject, but |
can never regulate u watch on my swing
board there and then give it to a customer
and have it keep good time. Then there is
variation with a change of vitality A
watch will ordinarily run slower the longer
it is carried after cleaning, because the oil
dries and the bearings are harder, but |
nave had customers come to me and say
that their watches had started up and gone
to gaining time several months after they
had been cleaned. l just tell them that /
can account for it except on theory of
a change in their own vitality and tempera-
ment. It's one of those things that cannot
be explained, but it is true nevertheless. "

CONGRESSMAN BoUTeLLE's TRIP ABROAD
"reminiscences Of Havre-Meeting With Sir
William Vernon Harcourt-House OF Com
mons.

Congressman Charles A. Boutelle, ac-
compsnied by his two daughters, passed
through Portland yesterday noon on their
way to Bangor, after sojourn of several
months in Europe. Although somewhat
tired the party were in excellent health,
and heartily glad to get back to Maine.
When they went abroad last summer
they landed first in England, and thence
went to Paris, Switzerland, Italy, Ger
many, Holland, Belgium, and thence
back to England. Considerable time was
spent in Rome, Florence, Venice and the
Italian Lake region. They were at Rome
at the time of the celebration of the entry
of the national troops. This celebration
was the cause of much bitterness between
the partisans of the temporal power of the
Pope and the partisans of the government
of Italy. The supporters of the govern
ment are Catholics and revere the Pope in
his spiritual capacity, while they do not
admit his claims TO temporal power.
This makes the situation very trying for
them.
In England Mr. Boutelle met several of
the English statesmen. He bore letter
of Introduction from Mr. Reed to Sir
William Vernon Harcourt, and was
shown much attention by the latter. Mr..
Boutellc witnessed a session of the House
of commons from the diplomatic gallery,
and afterwards dined with Sir William
Harcourt and party of friends. Mr..
Boutelle praises very highly the old fash
ioned courtesy and heartfelt cordiality of
the English statesmen. Mrs. Harcourt
was daughter of Motley, the American
historian.
The session of the House of Commons
did not particularly impress Mr.. Boutelle.
The long benches, without desks before
them, seem to conduce more to dullness
than do the seats in the American House
of Representatives. One of Mr.. Boutellc S
pleasantest experiences was at Havre, q
port he used to sail to in his youth. II
walked down to the quay, > he said, land
found everything as it used to be. And
as 1 stood there and recalled that day
thirty -four years ago. when l last saw
that quay as l sailed out of the harbor of
Havrc as first officer of the ship Nor
mandy, it seemed as If it We're only yes
terday. l could see the people watching
the shipping as they watched our great
ship go out on that day in 1861. There
have been great changes since then; but
the quay at Havre is just the same"
Mr.. Boutelle says he would not care to
live in Europe, and he is more enthusi-
The people over there do not have the
comforts or the privileges that we have

Free silver at "a ratio OF 10 to !, to be
adopted by this government alone, re-
ceived significant set back on Tuesday.
To this heresy Democratic defeat in Ken
tucky is largely attributable, although
other powerful causes were at work there.
But in the eighteenth congressional dis
trict of Illinois free silver had q fair field
and no favor The Democratic state com
mittee at the request of the candidate, Mr..
Lane, fought the battle so far as they
were able on the free silver issue. OF
course the tariff could not be dropped out
of sight but the district is under normal
conditions Democratic. Bland, Bryan
and Governor Stone of Missouri we're
brought into the district to tell the voters
what boon fiat white metal dollar
would be to them The voters allowed
their common sense to assert itself and
the result was that Candidate Lane failed
TO carry a single county In the district.
These are good omens. Free silver
promises to play an Insignificant part in
the next Congress.

prominent are La Guayra, Porto Cabello,
Maracaibo, and Ciudad- Bolivar. This
last has the advantage for England of be
ing near the disputed boundary; but it is
on the Orinoco, and might on that
account receive more protection by
distractions in the stream, besides hav
ing some defences. Porto Cabello which
is of more commercial Importance, has
some works, and is also protected by Il

1t was a Bit OF common sense described
i /, a striking way that Carol ID. Wright
app'ie 10 the labor question in a recent
discussion He said that whenever some
one attempted 20 announce himself to 3
labor meeting as the discoverer of solu-
ton Of the labor problem, 1t was time TO
adjourn. This common sense is applicable
to many other problems than those con-
nected with the labor discussion. IL not
satisfaction enough for the most ardent
reformers, 1t is, or should be for the more
sensible ones, to know that they are pass
ing from worse to better conditions.
Sociological problems are not likely to re-
main solved 50 long as sociological con-
ditlons are 50 constantly changing. IL
some Of the fast!dious reformcrs OF the
Ne York municipality, the Goo Coos
for instance. had appreciated these facts
they would now have better reason to be
pleased with their course last Tuesday.
The good government machine isn't auto
matte. Jt can't bs set in motion and
then left to ran Itself. Even makeshift
repalrs are better than broken down
piece OF machinery Men should cherish
their ideals and keep them out of the dirt
but while doing so they should not appear
pettlsh If their everyday affairs do not
quite attain to those ideals. So long as
they keep the ideals fresh in mind and
keep everlastingly struggling toward
them over the best footiiolds they can IND
the cause Of reform, that Of good govern
ment included is safe. The situation in
New York ought to serve as an object

the victory was not due to Tammany
itself but to the men who, while favoring
good government on general grounds, are
not yet awakened to the necessity of max
ing personal sacrifices to secure it, and to
those who impatient because their ideals

that his bray is worse than all his othea

Charles II. Cramp with apparently
good reason severely scores the press dis
patch concerning Admiral Ramsey's an
nual report, in which the latter makes
comparison between the trial aud cruis-
ing records of the new cruisers. MIR.
Cramp referred to the fact that cruisers
often did not attempt to use more than
one fourth Of their speed while cruising
and he pointed with pride to some of the
recent achievements, such as that of the
Columbia which is rated at 22.S knots
and made Is knots on return run to
New York. He also directed attention
to the fact that the best speed record for
the United States navy was based upon
the maintenance of that speed for four
hours continuous steaming, while the
speed record for foreign vessels was the
highest speed attained on the run, al.
though that speed might not have been
maintained for ten minutes. And now
Admiral Ramsey repudiates that pres,
dispatch, declaring that the idea that oul
best vessels can not equal their trial speet
II required is false, aud that no has sale
nothing to that effect. Surely Americans
have every reason for pride in their hom,
built naval vessels.

There Is cold comfort to be had from
tho recent elections for the political boss,
who has nothing at stake save himself.
German, Brico and Hill fell and Croker
triumphed But the latter's field was a
large city where the better classes are
likely to become apathetic and the
ignorant, the unassimilatcd and the
vicious are perniciously active because for
them there Is profit in politics. 1t is a
glaring mistake to form an opinion of the
conditions governing the country at large
from those which prevail in a city like
Nrw York
