The good suggestion is made
that the National Press Club pay
the cost of moving Kate Fields
body from Hawaii to the spot in
the Adirondacks where she de-
sired to be laid away. Unless the
Hawaiian annexationists, in
whose behalf the gifted journalist
overtaxed her health, forestall
such action by meeting the ex-
pense themselves, the idea is one
that should be taken up. Surely
a woman such as Kate Field was
in life should not be denied the
six feet of ground which the
world owes to even the humblest
of its mortals in death.-San

AN OMITTED NAME.

A movement is on foot "to in
augurate an international memori-
al to commemorate the inception
and extension of submarine tele-
graphy connected with the names
of Cyrus w. Field, Sir James An
derson and Sir John Fender" 1t
rs strange that nothing is said of
f. N. Osborne, who originated
Che project of the first Atlantic
cable. His claim to that honor
was clearly proved in the editorial
columns of the Washington Re-
publican nearly twenty years ago.
ar. Osborne impoverished him
self and injured his health to pro-
mote that grand idea, and later
went clean broke in a scheme to
estab ish the Shortest route to
Europe" from New York. Had
he shared in the wealth his pro.
gressive mind brought to others,
his claim to due honors would not
have been ignored while he lived
nor forgotten after his death.

Arbitration has again triumphed.
The King of Portugal as arbitra
tor has given his decision that the
island of Trinidad, occupied by
the British for cable station, be-
longs to Brazil. Great Britain
cheerfully accepts the decision
although her Premier, Lord Sails
bury, has been blamed at home
for reluctance in consenting to
the principle of arbitration, par
ticularly with regard to the Vene-
zuela boundary question.

Another victory of peace by the
New World over the Old is re-
corded. The Canadian artillery
team won the Queens garrison

in chairs on their shoulders. 1t
is noted that the Canadians had
never seen a 64-pounder, with
which the contest was held, until
the previous week.

A San Francisco paper says:

On and after January l, 1897,
ahe city of Glasgow, with 565,714
jnhabitants, will levy no taxes of
any kind. All public expenditures
will be met from the earnings of
street railways, lighting and water
plants. There is food for thought
among the opponents of civic
ownership of these properties in
this exhibit of its practical effects
abroad, especially so in San Fran
cisco, which will soon be called
apon to accept or reject a new
charter.
Exclusive franchises given to
corporations for furnishing gen.
eral services of any kind can only
be justified when accompanied by
'ahe two conditions of government
regulation and government parti-
eipation in the profits. Given
otherwise they are fraud on the
public for the advantage of private
interests.

The Victor Safe and Lotk Co., Gin, o.
GENTLEMEN.-I am pleased to say the
Vitor safe you sold me some five or six
years ago, preserved intact al of its con-
tents in the late fire in Greenville, on the
10Th inst. The safe stood Mt "A point in my
office in the Opera House Block, that must
have been one of the hottest parts in the
great contiagration. 1t contained papers
and other things of value. When II was
taken out of the ruins and opened some
twelve hours after the fire, everything in it
was found to be safely preserved and in
good condition. cheerfully make this
statement of facts in recognition of the
valuable service rendered me by your safe,
and you are ut liberty to make such use of
1t as you may see proper.
Yours truly, THOS. J. JARVIS.
ThoS. J. Jarvis was Gov
ernor of North Carolina for
six consecutive years; was u.
S. Minister to Brazil for four
years and served one year as

Carolina after the death Of

We have these safes on
hand in four sizes which we
retail at $50, SIS, $112.5O and
$3.50. The Victor Safe

Timely Topics
" YOUR HOUSE IS ON
FIRE"

This may be the warning
cry to you some night.
Whether it refers to your store,
factory, mill, office, or resi-
dence, it means that all of your
valuable account books, secu-
rites, deeds, insurance policies,
notes, receipts, mortgages, etc,
will be destroyed if not pro-
tected by a tire-proof safe.
Can you afford to run this
hazardous risk? The loss of
an insurance policy alone in
nine cases out of ten would
cause you endless trouble and
expense in going to law to Sc
cure a settlement, and then
your chances of coming to a
satisfactory adjustment with
the insurance company would
indeed be very slim. 1t is a
duty that you owe to your
business, to your family and
to yourself to protect these
things against both fire and
thieves. That old tin box or
drawer in which you have
been in the habit of keeping
your papers, would be of no
service whatever in case of
fire.
A VICTOR safe will last
you a lifetime, and it is the
best investment that any bust
ness man can make. You
make no mistake in buying a
Victor. Out of forty thousand
safes manufactured and shipped
by this company, upwards of
four hundred have already
gone through very severe fires
and not one has ever yet failed
to preserve its contents when
put to a test.
We have thousands of teSti-
monials from prominent people
as to the merits of these
VICTOR safes. We offer a
recent one as a sample

No card but an engraved

considered shoddy and should
not be used.
We know the correct thing,
and any work turned out by
us, will place you right in
the swim.
Every effort is being made
by us to keep this work at
home, and if a strict adher-
ence to San Francisco prices,
combined with good clean
work is any inducement to
place orders here, we will get
all your work from now on.
Bear in mind that we are
not trying to meet the cut
rates of Eastern Department

are doing good work, using
the very best of material, and
adhering closely to ruling
rates in San Francisco.
Nor is the work confined
to Cards alone, but Wedding

ness Cards, Announcements,
Bill Heads for Professional
men, Enclosing, and the
general run of work coming
