A Lonely Old Man Dies.

1t u reported that Reavis, the Her
NIT Of the Superstition Mountains" is
dead. His body was found by the
roadside, five miles from his cabin.
Reavis was a peculiar character, and
for quarter of century had lived
alone In the mountains, with no COM
panion save his rife and dogs. In
dams had dread of his unerring aim,
and Apaches considered the old man a
spirit that could not be killed. He left
his wife and children, who lived near
the old mission at Los Angeles, some
thirty years ago. Those who knew him
then said that, in fit Of anger, Reavis
walked through the side Of his resi-
dence that was planked up and down,
and from that date he was never seen
by his family.
When the Silver King mine was be-
ing worked the old man used to supply
the camp with vegetables, carrying the
same with tran of burros. Twice a
year he came to Florence for supplies.
His home was a stone cabin and his
bed a pile of deer and bear skins. He
farmed about five acres Of land in the

Miss Anderson was the last Of the great
American "stars" to tempt the uncertain
tiessof the British public. Mrs. Potter
was an unfortunate failure. The Ameri-
can actors in London today. with the
exception of Genevieve Ward, have. not
yet risen to ''star" position, and many
of them are known better to Londoners
than to Americans. One Of these is Miss
Eleanor Calhoun, who went to London
on Booths advice. She has appeared in
many classic and new plays and has won
a recognized place on the English stage.
She is a beautiful Californian. Miss
Elizabeth Robins and Miss Marion Lea

years ago in Ibsen's plays and have since

~ late years the American "star"
has wisely left the London stage
alone. The record of American .ac-
tors in London is not altogether iatter-
Ing to American judgment. Edwin Booth,
above criticism on this side of the water,
fell fat in London until ''patronized" by
Irving, while Mccullough, sharply criti-
cised by Americans, was splendidly re-
ceived. Forrest succeeded, but Joseph
Jefferson received only slight attention.
Minnie Palmer and Patti Rosa were very
popular and Lolita was distinct failure.
Some American actresses and actors have
been given the stamp Of London approval,
but their failure or success In the United
States In no wise affected British judg-
ment. Mary Anderson took the metropo-
lis by storm. Her Perdita was pronounc-

Probably Eaten by savages.

The news of a wholesale massacre of
white traders and missionaries, among
them an American, comes from the ISL
and Of Manning straits and the Solo
mon Islands, situated east Of the south
eastern point of New Guinea. The In
habitants Of these islands are mostly
cannibals, and 1t can hardly be doubted
that the unfortunate victims have been
eaten by their slayers. The atrocities
are In British territory except those
that have occurred on Manning strait.
which Is In the German domain.
Twelve years ago the Solomon Islands
except their outlines, were almost
wholly unknown on account of the hos
tility of the natives. Since then, how
ever, a number of explorers have ex-
plored parts Of the islands; and since
the group was appropriated by England
and Germany, a number Of missionary
and trading stations have been estab-
lished The natives are very ferocious,
treacherous and many Of them are head

Year after year, when politics cease
from troubling, there recurs the ques-
ton as to the existence Of intelligent,
sentient life on the planet Mars. The
last outcrop of speculation grew from
the discovery Of M. Javelle Of a lumin-
Gus projection on the southern edge Of
the planet. The light was peculiar in
several respects, and, among other In
terpretations, 1t was suggested that the
inhabitants of Mars were flashing
messages to the conjectured inhabit-
ants of the sister planet, earth. No
attempt at reply was made; indeed.
supposing our astronomer royal, with
our best telescope, transported to Mars,
red riot of fire running athwart the
whole Of London would scarce be visi-
BILE to him.. The question remains un-
answered, probably unanswerable.
There Is no doubt that Mars is very
like the earth. Its days and nights, Its
summers and winters differ only In
their relative length from ours. It
has land and oceans, continents and
Islands, mountain ranges and inland
seas. Its polar regions are covered
with SHOWS, and it has an atmosphere
and clouds, warm sunshine and gentle
rains. The spectroscope, that subtle
analyst Of the most distant stars, gives
us reason to believe that the chemical
elements familiar to us here exist on
Mars. The planet, chemically and
physically, Is so like the earth that, as
protoplasm, the only living material
we know, came into existence on the
earth, there IL no great difficulty in sup
posing that it'came, into existence on
Mars. If reason be able to guide us,
we know that protoplasnn, at first
amorphous and unintegrated, has been
guided on this earth by natural forces
into that marvellous series of forms and
integrations we call the animal and
vegetable kingdoms. Why, under the
similar guiding forces on Mars, should
not protoplasm be the root Of as fair
a branching tree of living beings, and
bear as fair fruit Of intelligent, senti-
ent creatures ?-London Saturday Re-

teen years before. That was In March,
1895. In one short year he traversed
the island from one end to the other,
breaking down military trochas and
defying the Spanards in their very
strongholds. These twelve months have
shown him to be more than guerrilla
chieftain, a great general-one OF the
greatest Of modern times.
Antonio Maceo Is mulatto. he
was born at Santiago de Cuba, July IA,
1s4s. His father was Marcus Maceo
and his mothers maiden name was
Mariana Grajales. The elder Maceo
owned a plantation at BaraJagua and
kept a pack of mules for hire. From
this circumstance the statement has
been made that Antonio Maceo was
driver of mules before the war. At
the beginning Of the ten years war In
1868. the male portion OF the Maceo
family consisted Of eleven SONS, the
Youngest being Jose, fourteen years OF
age. The revolution had been in prog
ress several months and the Maceo fam
ily had kept aloof from taking part In
the uprising, until one day there ap-
reared band Of Spanish gueriiias, and
the Maceo plantation was soon In ruins.
The buildings were burned. the mules
stolen and the female members OF the
family treated in an outrageous man
ner. The father called his eleven sons
around him. All were now grown ex-
cept Jose. Marcus Maceo exacted from
each promise that they would not lay
down their arms until Cuba was free.
The blood of the Maceo family now
stains the island from one end to the
other. The father fell at the battle of
st. Augustin. Manuel, Fermin and
Justice were killed In the east. Raph-
ael, covered with wounds, left the
island to die as an exile. Miguel was

Mrs. Champion, who y q second cousin OF
the Rt. Hon. John Bright, M. r., 10 now

sold and all debts paid the subject Of this
sketch started life once more In the village
of Bridgewater, England, with two shli-
lings In money and four small children.
A little business was started and with
the aid of the children she made and sold
fancy work. After few years the Oldest
SON came to America and In 1854 sent fos
mother and remaining children. The lit
tie business was sold, and the little fam
lily sailed away; but sad fate again SEEM
ed to follow this good woman. During
the time taken for the voyage the son In
America was taken i'll and died and the
termination of the voyage was mingled
with the most terrible sorrow instead OF
the anticipated joyfulness. This brave
woman did not turn back. she started for
the West and located in Elgin.
Again the fancy work business was
started, after a few years the little store
was purchased. A building was built and
paid for, but again cruel fate was not sat
isfed; fire, the great destroyer, in one
night leveled to the ground this building
and all was a complete loss, and the ex-
element brought on nervous prostration,
and this, partial paralysis. For years
this brave woman never left her bed. then
on commencing to get around was so
weak and Frustrated that at different
times she fell and broke both arms.
Sixteen months ago, after twenty years
of suffering, she read in the Elgin Daily

Too Much.

Nothing is gained by trying to grow
too many plants or trees on an acre.
1t is not always the number of plants
that increases the yield, but their
thrift and feeding capacity. A dozen
strong and stocky plants will produce
more than double that number which
are weak and spindling. Trees that are
too close together simply come into
competition for food and do not grow
as rapidly as they should.
