DID n u,sspelled Word Cause War.

An ingenious explanation of the &C.
ton of DR.. Jameson is given by the
London correspondent Of tho Birming
ham Gazette According to this, Jane
son, with his men, was waiting for
some word from Johannesburg. It came
in telegram worded thus Revolution
carried, in compliance with your de-
sire" That was the telegram received.
The telegram actually sent from the
Johannesburg committee was, "Resolu-
ton carried. in compliance with your
desire" That "v" instead of rs" made
all the difference Jameson made his
plunge into the enemy's country. expect
ing to find the settlers in arms waiting
for his coming. Instead, he found only
great masses of armed Beers barring his
way. The Beers were fully prepared and
expected his coming. This raises the GU
rious suggestion. Had they anything to
do with altering the telegram? Was it
a trap for the English raiders to draw
them on in order to justify the quaint
utterances of Kruger that when the tor

A MORMON PUZZLE.
The System of Naming Streets In Salt Lake
City Is Confusing.

The System of Naming Streets In Salt Lake
City Is Confusing.
In Salt Lake City they name streets
rs nowhere else on earth. For general
confusion to newcomer no other sys-
tenn equals it. In the long run it has its
advantages, for it not only guides you
to any street with pomp and ceremony,
but it sharpens your hearing and encour-
ages mental concentration. The street
system Of Salt Lake originates OF Tenn
pie square, wherein stand the taber-
nacle, the general assembly hall and the
temple which was 36 years in building.
A wall 10 or 12 feet high incloses the
square. The streets passing it were
named East Temple, South Temple,
West Temple and North Temple respeo-
lively.
East Temple street is tho principal
business thoroughfare of the city, and
its name has been changed to Main
street. The first street south Of and pdr-
allel to South Temple street is named
First South street. East of Main street
it is East First South street; west of
Main street it is West First South street.
The numbering of the>houses begins at
Main street and runs each way, every
house number having an E or W APP
pended, as 320E. Proceeding south each
street that crosses Main is numbered in
rotation, Second South, Third South,
and SO on, all being further divided into
East and West. Tho same plan is fol-
lowed north, east and west of the tenn
pie, and at certain crossing the streets
running north and south are divided for
numbering. and each wing is given its
prefix of North or South. When you
start out to find anumber on East Fifth
South street, the same number on South
Fifth East won't do at all, and if you
are trying to find your way from a re-
mote place OH North Twelfth West
street to an indefinite number on East
Sixth South, between South Eighth East
and South Ninth East, you would do

Ethics of Horse Trading,

Hiding Their Lights.

The increase in crime has led to the
formation of a novel club. Fifty men of
wealth and high standing in business
circles have organized an "antijewelry
wearing club" and have pledged them
selves not to wear anything in public
calculated to tempt pickpocket or foot

the police department shows some sign
Of suppressing crime This action was
taken after we'll known millionaire
who likes diamonds had 5000 "spar-

he was enjoying a cigar on the front
platform Of surface car. AS result Of
this action, these members Of the club

Heart.


1t Is Music In tho Cathedral OF the Human
Heart.
Poetry is music in the cathedral of
the heart. Deep i'll the human breast
there towers noble structure. 1t stands
apart from the beaten paths of the mind
in silent, hidden valley The ordinary
thoughts and passions hurry past the
portal and know it not. They have not
learned the "open sesame' Ego him.
self, ruler of tho kingdom of the intel
lect, does not know the sacred spot 1t
is tho mission of his life to find it, and
having once found it he cannot remem-
Der the route by which he journeyed.
He cannot return to it at will. Fate
guards the way and rarely grants an en-
trance, yet every man at some time Of
his life happens upon it, and the fortu-
nate reach it often. Though they are
blindfolded by the way, their eager feet
learn to tread the labyrinth. They are
the poets of mankind, whose fancy gives
sight to their feet.
At some unexpected moment q fair
guide points the way, the doors swing
open, and man enters the cathedral Of
his heart. Sometimes it is strain of
music Of searching, thrilling sweetness
that points the way. Sometimes it is
royal sunset. Sometimes it is rapt and
self forgetting prayer. Sometimes it is
the hand Of love, but oftenest it is gaunt
sorrow. 1t is o stately temple. It's dome
is as broad as the heavens, toward which
the many fingered spires point. Its win
dows make Of each sunbeam o rainbow.
It's aisles are silent. Its priest is peace
With hushed heart and reverential step
man enters and is ut rest All that is
material of him he leaves behind Quiet
and beauty possess his soul, and he floats
in an inspiring dream. He listens, and
now for the first time falls on his in
tent ear an occasional note in the har-
mony of the universe.
Half lost in distance, he hears the
chorus of the morning stars. the birds.

beauty and purpose in the universe
the mind cannot conceive. He feels

kingdom to which his soul is kin. AL
most he grasps tho secret of creation.
For one swift instant exaltation draws
aside the dark, impenetrable curtain
that has led skeptio man. "There is the
end" He sees beyond marvel too
great for his still human mind. 1t passes,
but it leaves with him awe, peace, hope.
He feels that somewhere there is &C.
lestial key that makes of the puzzle of
life q kingdom where all is harmony,
perfection, satisfaction. The great organ
of his soul, tuned into speech by the
master hand of beauty, bursts into mel
ody.
And this is poetry. -Exchange

Hamiin's Correspondence.

Hannibal Hamlin, perhaps the most
typical of Maine's great sons who have
won national honors and national
memory, always saved tho letters which
no received, but preserved no copies of
his replies or Of his share in any CORE
spondence. So General Charles Hamlin,
his son, who is preparing his biography,
finds himself with trunk after trunk
filed with letters written by the most
conspicuous figures ip the life Of the ma
ton for the past 80 years. In many
cases he desires his fathers answers
and is having more success in tracing
and securing them than might be i'm
agined.
A few days ago he received an almost
invaluable collection of them lom
Washington, which had come irsli the
possession Of ex-Postmaster 0s'cral
Horatio King, himself an honozs: son
Of Maine. During the war Vice u iesi-

Federal generals. whose communica-

extraordinary interest. In these old let.

GREAT EXPECTATIONS"

Kanawha Bimettalist.
To one who occupies the position as
an observer the great expectations
of the gang of statesmen GU constitut-
ing the leadership of the "hog COM
bine" in Kanawha county are truly
amusing.
To begin with there is Johr X.
Thompson. of Putnam county, who eX-
,pects to be nominated for Auditor OF
State on the Republican ticket. Mr..
Thompson was confederate solder
during the war-which, by the way, he
had perfect right to be-and never
GOT done killing yankees until ne
found that there was absolutely no
show for him to get office in the Demo-
cratic party. FaiHng to secure Office
in the party in which he was born, he
became a seeker at the Republican
mourner's bench and after a brief sea-
son of grief experienced brilliant con-
version. Since that time he has not
ceased TO cry aloud for the advance
ment of his" party-and for office.
Now in order TO make his "clncn.
on the nomination doubly sure (?) Col.
Thompson came to Charleston early in
the spring and in star-chamber SEES
sion of the "hOg combine agreed that
If the said "hog combine delivers to
him the 81 votes OF Kanawha county he,
Col. Thompson, will in return make Mr..
E e. Hood. commissioner of insurance
for the State of West Virginia.

WOOD COUNTY POLITICS.

Special to the Register.
Parkersburg, w. Va, July 19.-The
latest political sensation in local poll
tics here. Is the announcement by Mr..
C. A. Wade. of his candidacy for sher-
if Of Wood county on the Democratic
ticket. At the last election Mr.. Wade
only lacked about a dozen votes OF de-
feating his opponent, Sheriff j. w. Dud-
ley, and It is now thought that he is n
line for the nomination, although l. H..
Wr,ght's friends are claiming first place
for him. The race is becoming very
interesting on both sides, with J. T..
Buckley in line for first place ON the
Republican side.

When the Democratic club was organ

for the free and UNLIMITED coinage OF
gold and silver at the ratio of 16 TO l,

Now if the State Convention will give

we can carry the county by $50 ma
