The West Virginia senator attributes

Rev. J. II. Cannon, assistant pas

taken for w. II. Bryan, democratic
candidate for president of the United
States. while enroute home from
Tiskilwa Saturday afternoon, aud

his blunder shortly at'rerward.
Rev. Cannon has :, smoothly sha ven

De easii'y taken fer the democratic
cand'ri late. Rev. Cannon had been
on. a retreat at Spring Valley. He
visited friends At Tiskilwa. and was
on his way toward home when one OF
the cars broke down n short distance
from Tiskilwa. The train bearing
Mr.. Bryan was due at that place in a
very few moments. People were
crowded about the depot platform by
the hundreds. Finally train backed
i lutO the station. SOme Que IN the
crowd said Bryan was on it.
Then they began to swarm into the
coach. "How do you do. Mr.. Bryan"
Success to you Mr.. Bryant" and
"Hurrah for Bryant" made up the ova
ton that was rendered the Rock Isl
ander. Rev. Cannon shook hands with
the visitors and took the send-off as
calmly as though he had been getting
them all along the line. The young
man who gave him the rabbits foot
made particularly strong talk to
"Mr. Bryan" assuring him of the
loyal support OF the majority of the
people OF Tiskilwa.
Finally, after Rev. Cannon and the
remainder of the passengers had en-.
joyed hearty laugh, the visitors al
the depot became suspicious; and
when the other train showed up in
the distance they knew there was {
mistake. The excited young man
sought out Rev. Cannon and re.
covered his rabbits foot and gave il
to the real Mr.. Bryan and the Grip
pied train then resumed it's journey
toward Rock Island. leaving the lis
kilwans shouting for the next presi
dent.

there has been great deal Of con-

Sad Experience of an African Chief.
London Truth.


Missionary effort does not seem TO have
made very favorable impression upon one
Hemuhemu, native chief in Natal. This
autocrat has forbidden the open profession
or the Christian faith in his dominions, on
the ground that Ii demoralizes the women,
and leads the men to defy his authority.
A certain proselyte Of the tribe, by name
Ngubane, justified the latter part of this
theory by bringing action against the SOW
ereign in the high court, claiming an in
junction, so far as / can make out and
damages for the loss of his spiritual conso-
lation and privileges. However. in the IN
terests of Christianity. Mr.. Ngubane went
to the court of appeals, and this time the
chief was beaten.
The grounds of the Judgment I am not
able TO state. II may be that the supreme
court declined to entertain the proposition
that Christianity leads TO the demoraliza-
ton OF women and the INSTRUMENTATION OF
men, or 1t may be that they held that He
muhemu has no power TO interfere with
the religious liberty of his SUBJECTS no mat
ter how demoralizing the consequences.
Hemuhemu seems to have got an idea that
the new woman is q part of the Christian
faith. Perhaps IL his attention were called
to some OF St. Paurs remarks upon the
position of the other sex he might be re-
conciled to Christianity yet.

Fir Lumber Tests.

Pacific Lumber Trade Journal
Nearly al OF the lumber woods OF the
country have been tested by the United
States government, EXCEPT those Of the Pa
ciEc Northwest Exhaustive tests OF white,
yellow and long leaf pine have been made
under government authority at the Wash
ington University. ST Louis and have been
of great value to the Iumhermen Of the
South and white pine states but there has
never been an appropriation made for tests
OF Douglas fir. Now. however Senator
Squire. OF this state, at the suggestion Of
c. w. Saunders, an architect Of Seattle,
and prominent member OF the state chap
ter American Institute OF Architects. has
introduced bin, which was read twice IN
the senate and referred to the COMMITTEES
ON agriculture and forestry, which makes
an appropriation for thorough tests. The
bin is as follows:
Whereas. An enormous waste OF valu.
able material and incaiculable loss of life
and property occurs from ignorance Of the
true value and strength OF American tim
Der: and,
Whereas. A thorough examination and
elaborate tests of our timber have been
introduced in the forestry division OF the
department Of agriculture bat have pro-
ceeded very slowly, and have from time TO
time been entirely discontinued on account
OF deficient appropriation; therefore,
BE IL enacted by the senate and house
OF representatives OF the United States OF
America In congress assembled, That the
sum of $4,000 is hereby appropriated, out
or the funds now in the treasury of the
United States not otherwise appropriated,

chase OF the necessary equipment and for
the speedy publica ton OF results. TO be ex-
pended under the direction of the secretary
or agriculture. through the forestry divi-
sion; and furthermore. that not less than
80 per cent. OF the amount appropriated be
devoted TO the testing of timbers OF the
Pacific coast; provided. that state institu-
tons or private citizens OF any Of the Pa
'cinc coast states agree TO fit up a testing
laboratory satisfactory to the secretary of
agriculture and subject to his control for
the time of such testing. Such appropria-
ton. or so much of il as the secretary of
agriculture shall decide 10 be necessary, TO

The different associations on the Coast

NO PRIZEFIGHTs HERE.
The 8. A. G. Offers No Prizes for PIX
fcssionai Pugiiists.

In the Times of Saturday evening APP
pears an item credited TO the San Fran
cisco Call alleging that Fletcher Coulter,
OF this city. while in San Francisco an
nounced that limited round fight be-
tween James j. Corbett and Peter Jackson
could be arranged to take place before the
Seattle Athletic Club. and that a purse big
enough TO draw a crowd could be raised
for that purpose.
Secretary Bean, of the Seattle Athletic
Club. was interviewed in regard to the
matter by a Post-Intelligencer reporter
yesterday, and denounced the statement
a fake of the first water Mr.. Bean
said that Mr.. Coulter If he made the state
ment credited TO him, which is more than
doubtful, acted entirely without any au-
thority from the Seattle Athletic Club.
That club is not engaged in the business
of promoting meetings between profess
sional pugilists, either glove contests or
prizehghts, has never offered any purses
for such events, and does not propose to.
The club was organized and is conducted
for the promotion of amateur athletics
alone. and there has been no departure
from those purposes and mona is at all
likely.
