Ultimate conclusion
This theory is that II marriages were
contracted ON a rational instead OF purely
sentimental basis-if men and women
stopped To consider whether or not they
were mentally and physically lifted To i've
together and produce children before they
mated and made the selection OF their life
mariners accordingly-then the race would
gradually become q race OF giants In brain

An Incident Which Demonstrates That
Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction.

1892" On taking 1t to her mother, she
became much concerned, as this was the
name of her own son, who was boiler
maker in Spain, and as would be the case
with most people, certainly with high
landers, she could not get over the super
stitious dread that this message from the
sea was the harbingcr of evil tidings re-
garding her SON The family Of the pro-
prietor did their best to calm her terror,
exhorting her to wait for an explanation.
When writing to her son, she told him
of what had happened and was greatly re-
lieved on receiving reply assuring her of
his well being, but was astonished To learn
that he perfectly remembered how, when
on q holiday, he had written as described
on piece of wood and had idly thrown it
into the sea from rock near Bilbao. We
all know the power of ocean currents and
need not be surprised at this piece of wood
having been carried about for six months,
but the marvellous and, except for un-
doubted evidence, the incredible circum-
stance in this case is that this piece of
wood, after its long drifting, should have
been washed on the shore within 100 yards
of where the writer's mother lived and
that 1t should be picked up by one Of his
own family and taken home. Had any
novelist dared to picture n message deliv-
cred as this was by means of an ocean cur
rent, every reader and certainly every
critic, would have denounced the outra-
geous demand on faith. And yet the appar-
emily impossible actually occurred in Can

THE WAY HE DOES 1T
NO OFFICES FOR SILVER MEN
OR THEIR FRIENDS.
President Cleveland Using Federal Patron
age to Advance His Gold ideas
-Palmers Fight.

Washington, May 31.-Federal pa
tronage which has played such an i'm
portant part in the plans OF President
Cleveland, is to be made the means Of
influencing democratic sentiment on
the financial question Senator Palmer
OF Illinois announces that no Appoint
ments will be made In his state until
after the June convention. He makes
this statement Immediately after a
consultation with the president. and
presumably as a result OF executive
suggestion This determination is the
answer 10 Secretary OF State Hinrich-
son, who believes that no democrat who
does not embrace the free silver cause
need expect the support OF his party in
Illinois.
The fight between the two factions OF
the party in Illinois Is so bitter that
it seems impossible for any sort OF
harmony TO come out OF IL or for the
defeated faction to accept the result.
Senator Palmer supports the financial
views of Mr.. Cleveland. It is charged
by Secretary of State Hinrichson that
this attitude is assumed for the pur-
pose of obtaining offices for the SEN
ators friends.
Whatever may be Senator Palmers
purpose in fighting the free silver ele-
Hinrichson's allegation as TO the ele-
ment of patronage by the announce
ment given TO the Illinois democracy.
Those who are to take part in the
movement for free silver in Illinois are
notified that they Will receive no rec
ognition from the Cleveland admins
tration.
II follows, therefore, that those who
support the administrations policy
will have the federal Offices. The word
has gone forth that the line will be
drawn on all appointments between
the friends of the administration and
those who commit themselves to free
silver.
That the president will keep his word
is understood. No one who opposed the
Wilson bill escaped the executive
wrath when 1t came to a question OF
patronage or of denomination. The
Illinois democrats are very much
excited over the discovery OF Mr..
Cleveland's intentions toward them
There are likely TO be some important
offices 10 fill within the next few
months. and politicians will be put to
their wits ends in deciding whether TO
stand by their constituents or by the
president.
Political disaster is certain TO follow
whichever choice is made. The senti-
ment Of the democratic party in Illi-
nois. according TO every report that
comes to Washington. is overwhelm-
ing. and irresistibly favorable to free
coinage. and the president. in endeav-
oring to stem the tide, has entered
upon task that all politicians here
regard as hopeless. and which there is
good reason TO believe is so regarded
even in administration circles.

London. May 31.-There is much re-

propositions for the free coinage of
silver. The English bimetallists are

Cleveland's position. The Bimetallic

chequer, in his reply to the address of
the Gold Standard Protection league;
wherein he stated he concurred entire

WHAT is POLYCAMY?
That Is What the Treasury Department
Would Like to Know Now.

Washington, May 31.-An interesting
question has arisen in the treasury de-
partment which involves the legal
meaning of the word "polygamist." :"
Commissioner General Stumpf of the
immigration bureau has received ap-
plication for admission to this country
of Robert Stenson, his wife Kate. Bar
bara Hunton. Lizzie Naylor and sew
en- children. These immigrants recent
ly arrived at Quebec, Canada. from
Glasgow, and i'm their affidavits state
that they are Momons in religion and
full believers in polygamy, and intend
to practice polygamy If so inclined on
reaching their destination. Salt Lake
City. The question involved is whether
belief in polygamy of itself, and in the
absence of proof of any polygamous
acts, brings the party within the inhl-
bition of the law declaring that poly
gamists shall not be admitted into this
country. Acting Secretary Wike has
the subject under consideration. Mr..
Stumpf is of the opinion that the
parties should be debarred admission.

Big Timber, Mont. May 31.-In a
stagnant pool of water in the middle
of a dense clump of bushes on the west
fork of White Beaver creek, % miles
east of here. was found the body of
Hilas Van Wagner. The place is a
lonely one. 300 yards from a Travelled
road. and the body of Van Wagner
might have remained undiscovered for
years had not some boys chasing coy
otes yesterday afternoon penetrated
the thicket. Horrified, they notified the
settlers in the neighborhood and the
authorities here. Coroner Lanphear,
DIR. Almas. Sheriff Depart and a jury
left for White Beaver this morning,
returning tonight with the body of
Van Wagner. An investigation was
made of the surroundings and of the
body. No marks or bruises were found,
though there was a slight wound on
the back of the head. An autopsy will
be made tomorrow, when the coroner
will conclude the inquisition.

case of murder or suicide. He was a
carpenter and formerly lived in Bill

family separated. The wife and daugh-
ters are now supposed to be living in
Kalispell. The body had been lying in
the water some 10 days, and was badly
decomposed.
