AMELIE RIvEs CHANLER, after a
short season of divorced widow
hood, has succeeded in capturing a
man with a title, and who spells
his name with an itzky. After she
gets through spending good Ameri-
can coin on the new husband with
a title, she will probably return to
her native heath and get out a book
giving American girls some good
advice that won't recommend hui
man beings with names, but no
brains, for husbands.

THE report of the Senate Com
mittee on Education, indorsing the
slightly increased appropriation for
the Bureau of Public Instruction,
ought to meet with the approval of
both Houses OF the Legislature. OF
all places where a parsimonious
policy can do the greatest injury,
the Department of Public Instruc-
ton stands the highest. Improved
educational advantages are public
improvements that will return a
high rate of interest to this coun-
try and constitute a field for invest
ment that the country cannot afford
to neglect.

WITH Corea's king in st. Peters
burg and the men representing
Russian influence taking an active
hand in the affairs of the peninsula
kingdom, it would seem that Russia
has not yet given up the land-grah
game in the Orient. Though Japan
will doubtless fuss and fume and
possibly come to blows, it can be
only matter of comparatively
short time before Russia esta blishes
complete suzerainity over Corea
and obtain the advantages of all its
winter seaports.

The business activity and the
quiet, but powerful, Christian in
fuence of John T. Waterhouse will
be sadly missed in this country.
Mr.. Waterhouse was practically
stricken down in the prime OF life,
though in years he had passed the
meridian. Always closely atten-
tive to his business cares up to
within a comparatively short time,
the news of his death causes a
sad and unexpected blow to the
community. Coming to this country
when a boy, Mr.. Warehouse has
proved true to the best interests OF
the land OF his adoption and of his
fellow-men. Never a seeker for
political preferment, he held many
positions of trust and gained the
full confidence of the people. In
religious labors he was always in
the foreground, and his earnest,
Christian counsel, coupled with his
readiness to ever shoulder a gener-
Gus share of whatever responsible
ties might be placed on an active
leader, has placed his name pro-
minently in the names of the lead
ing church workers. Mr.. Water
houses influence in all the walks
of life has been a power for good,
and his good works stand, a fitting
monument to his name.

UNITED STATES BOND ISSUE

If offers of money are proof o
patriotism, the recent popular loar
on the last bond issue made by
Secretary Carlisle of the United
States Treasury leaves no question
of the high regard the American
people have for their country's
honor. The call for this last loan
of $100,O00,000 on 4 per cent.
thirty-year bonds was made on
January 9Th last. When the bids
for the purchase of the bonds were
opened on February 9Th, offers had
been received for i've times the
amount of the loan. The bonds,
which are to be redeemable in coin,
are to be issued in denominations
of $50 or multiples of that sum, as
desired by the purchaser. They
will be dated February 1, 1895,
and will mature on February /,
1925. This is the fourth bond
issue during the present Admins
tration, and although the Secretary
of the Treasury was practically
forced by Congress to make a pop
ular loan, instead of dealing the lot
out to monied syndicate, it has
been the most successful and reas-
surfing of any Government loan
made in many years.
For the first 5 per cent. loan
made in February, '94, 238 bids
were made, representing over fifty
two millions of dollars. The
larger portion of this amount
was bid in at the upset
price of $117.223. The amount
awarded was fifty millions, on
which the United States Govern
ment realized a premium of over
eight and one-half millions. The
$50,000,00G bond issue of Novem-
Der, '94 was all taken up by the
Morgan bond syndicate at $117.077,
the Government realizing a pre-
MUM of $8,540, 800. The gold
purchase of February, 80, payable
in United States 4 per cent. bonds,
was also captured by the Morgan
syndicate at the rate of $104.496
per 800, the Government thus
a premium of 3d.
900,S44. In this last deal
the syndicate realized an interest
of 3 1916 per cent.
1t is not surprising that the cry
Of possible fraud is raised in con-
nection with previous loans, when
under this last popular loan two
thirds of the accepted bids range
above $110.6S77, showing that the
bidders are satisfied with an inter
,st which amounts to less than 3
per cent. But whatever this
pond issue may suggest by way of
on the previous deals of
he Administration it demonstra tes

THAT AUBURN MEETING.
JOhnsOn's rlecting Was the Largest
and Most Enthusiastic.

In the Bee of October 10th there ap-
poared a reputed interview with l.. d.
Jones Of this city in which Mr. Jones
stated that at a gravel claim six miles
bove Auburn where twentyseven men
were employed. they were all in favor
of Bryan and De Vries; and also
claimed that the Auburn meeting of
Grove l.. Johnson was a failure. while
that of De Vres was decided success.
H. G. HeTrill, the Secretary of the
Mckinley Club of Auburn, when seen
III this city yesterday, was very indig-
rant over the reported interview. He
says from first to last the interview is
a tissue of misstatements.
In the first place he says there is no
gold gravel claim six miles above
Auburn as claimed by Mr. Jones; in
the second place he says the only at
tempted parade at Johnson's meeting
in Auburn was of the Mckinley Club,
and they turned out In full force. The
Johnson meeting was a success in every
way. 1t was far larger than the De
Vries meeting, and more enthusiastic.
At the Johnson meeting in auburn
every bit Of available space was occu-
pied in the opera-house; at the De Vries
meeting, held few days afterward,
there were many vacant seats. The en-
thusiasm for Johnson far exceeded that
for De Vries. and it is conceded that
there was no comparison between the
two meetings, that of Johnson being
much larger The claim that the voters
OF Placer are solid for De 'Vries is dis
missed by Mr.. HerTill as the veriest
rot. He says old Placer on the 3D. of
November will roll up a majority for
Grove L. Johnson without trouble.

nor he with me. But we are both and
all called to think. You have an in
alienable right TO your own judgment,
if it is based ON proper thought and re-
sulting conviction. The conflict of
thought, when it is thought and not
mere greediness for gain and power, is
as necessary and healthful for our ma
tional life as is the tumultuous heaving
of the waves for the purity of the
ocean. So, / demand from you if you
would make your idea rule over mine,
a decision of action reached by some
other means than blind running with
the pack" He who is not a thinker is
the facile tool Of every designer. And
particularly open to attack is he from
the "Know-it-all," the Objectionable
creature who ruSheS into a subject
with the air of omniscience. An empty
barrel, a drum, and whatever else is
noisy and hollow, are like unto him.
Depend upon it, the more we know the
more we know we don't know. Knowl-
edge and humility go hand in hand; /;
knowledge and the granting to others
the rights of argument are one and in
separable; knowledge and a recogni-
ton of the "other side of the Shield, =
which the opponent sees, are the signs
OF real breadth Of mind. See that you
have it, now that we, the American
people, need it much.

ENTHUSIASM AT LOCKEFORD.
Grove l.. johnson Greeted With En-
thuSiaSm.

(Stockton Record, October 17th)
The town of Lockeford was aglow
with Republican enthusiasm last night.
Cne Of the largest political meetings
ever held there was on the occasion of
Grove L. Johnson's address at Locke's
Hall before an audience of nearly a
thousand people.
The citizens had made great prepa-
ratiOns for the occasion. The streets
were hung with China lanterns, while
fireworks and bonfres served to fur
ther illuminate the scene. The band
from Stockton was on hand and reg
uIar old-time blowout was the result.
DR.. II. r. Barber of Lockeford acted
as Chairman of the meeting and made
an excellent opening address on the OBJ
Jects of the assemblage. J. B. Pope,
c. F. Wakefield, w. E. Whipple, F. M.
Brown and E. Hart occupied seats on
the platform as Vice e-PreSidents.
Chairman Barber introduced Candi-
dates M. 0. Thresher, f. T. Jones,
Charles w. Austin and Frank H.
Smith, who made short addresses. Con-
gresham Johnson was received with
storm of applause when he opened
his speech. His effort was a mastery
than the one delivered here last Satur-
day night, and it was heartily received.

New Safety Lamp for Mines.

The new safety lamp for mines, op
Grating upon a peculiar principle, is
reported as being in successful use in
Germany. A popularity of this lamp is
noted, namely, that it is not closed in
any special way, like other lamps and it
matters very little whether or not the
workman, disregarding the regulations
of the mine, succeeds in opening the
lamp, for there is a special arrangement
by means of which the flame is extin-
guished at the same instant This is ex-
planned by there being in the interior of
the lamp glass a spring, which is com
pressed when the upper piece is screwed
down, which enables a cap to operate
upon wick in such manner as to
shift it aside, facilitating the lighting of
the lamp and afterward the combustion;
when the spring is worked in the con-
trary direction the cap again operates
upon the wick and the flame ceases the
moment the cap comes in contact with
the air. The lamp can be lighted with
out being opened.

Mountain Of Light were jewels in the

Z. Rustem took them from Afrasiab,
and they continued in the crown of
Persia till they were carried away by
f3mur, from whom they descended to
Muhammad Shah. King Of Delhi and
were brought by Nadiar from India.
When he was slain, Ahmed Shah Abb
DALI carried off the Kuh-i-Nur, which
descended to Shah Shuja, and was
taken from him by Ranjit Singh; but
the Darya-i-Nur remained in Persia.
Among the rings is one in which is
set the famous Pitt diamond sent by
George ". to Faith Ali Shah Sir H.
sutherland used to tell the story of the
acceptance of this gift. A Persian no.
bleman had been sent from Teheran to
Sir H. Jones to stop him from going
there, the French influence being all
powerful at that time. Sir Hartford
Jones argued in vain with the Persian
Khan, who remained unimpressed: and
finally he said: We'll, if it must be SO.
Will return to my country and give UP
the hope of making my countenance
while in the presence of the Shah. But
this must return with me-" and he drew
the ring from his waistcoat pocket.

The result was that Sir Hartford en-
tered Teheran by one gate as General
Gardanne made a hasty and hastened
exit by the other. Another enormous
diamond is the Taj-i-Huma, or Diadem
of the Phoenix, as big as the top of a

big as marbles, and many rubies and
pearls the size of nuts, and more than
a hundred emeralds from half an inch
