Last Entertainment In the High
School Course.
The patrons of the High School
Lecture Course will be treated to an
entertainment of rare merit in the next
and last attraction in the course. Her.
bert A. Sprague, monologue character
impersonator, will give his famous inn
personation of Washington Irying's
masterpiece-Rip Van Winkle-in the
NJ. f. church Tuesday evening, March
10Th. Mr.. Sprague's rendition of the
Joseph Jefferson and cannot fail TO
entertain, instruct and delight the
most critical audience.
The manager of the High School
Course has had the pleasure of listen.
ing to Mr.. Sprague on two different
occasions and he unhesitatingly CON-
mends him as an artist in monologue
presentations.
In Rip Van Wrinkle, Mr.. Sprague Is
conceded to be ut his best, and in his
marvellous and rapid changes in por-
traying the character of Rip, the no.
torious tippler, to the old miser, then
to Gretchen or "Mine Meenie," and
the various minor characters. it is al
most impossible to believe that there is
not half dozen people on the stage at
the same time.
Mr.. Sprsgue is splendidly equipped
mentally, morally and physically for
his great work, and his facial express
sions. voice and form seem completely
under control as he presents the stam-
mering turpitude of the topper, the
playful innocence of youth, woman's
anguish or beauty's smile.
Every number on the course has so
far drawn a large and appreciative
audience and we predict for Mr..
Sprague the warm welcome which his
merit as an entertainer is sure to win.
A limited number of reserved seats
may be obtained at Holden's drug
store. Remember the time and place,
Tuesday evening, March 10th, at the
NJ. +. church. Doors open at 700. En-
tertainment begins at 500.

STUDIED ATTEMPT 10 DECEIVE.

Professor Elliott Calls the Foreign Dis
patches About the Seal Conference.
Cleveland. Aug. 3.-Professor Henry
w. Elliott has Written a scathing letter
to The Plain Dealer regarding Lord
Salishury's seal conference, supplement-
ing one few days ago to Assistant Sec
rotary of State Day He says: I'm the
foreign dispatches Sunday morning there
appears an entirely misleading account
of the fur seal conference which Lord
Salisbury has finally, at the urgent per-
sonal appeal of John Hay, authorized.
1 protest against this studied attempt
to deceive the people as to the scope and
extent of that conference, and the in
ference which may be drawn, that 1t is
to be of the'slightest gain to the Ameri-
can case.
I'm the first place, we have had the
official and curt refusal of Lord Sails
bury to reopen this seal question in any
way affecting existing rules and regula-
tons as established by the Paris tri-
bunal in 1898. This refusal was made
April Il last, and not a thing has taken
place since which has altered Salisbury's
stand. Fosters trip to London only
strengthened the British premier shand.
Now, what is the warrant for this err
roneous story Of what the fur seal con-
ference is to compass at Washington
next October?
Simply this and nothing more: John
Hay, to break the force of Fosters
humiliating failure to reopen the ques-
tion and that shirt sleeve" letter of
May 10, begged Salisbury to let the
British naturalists who have been study
ing the seals on our islands since 1891
meet our naturalists at Washington next
fall and compare their biological notes
as to these animals, all reference to the
revision Of the existing regulations to
be expressly barred from the discussion.
Salisbury has permitted this; that is all
Of it; and it is simply nothing for the
American case, and as to an agreement
even in biological notes that Is very I'M
likely, judging from the work of Jordan
on our side and Thompson on the
British last season.
Calling in Russian and Japanese
agents to this informal conference will
not have the slightest effect one way or
the other on the stand which the Brit
ish agents may take and have taken.
Canada controls this matter absolutely;
she has an unusually easy task, as
things are now directed on our side; she
will again skin Foster as clean as she
did at Paris in 1893"

kLONDYKE RIGHT AT HOME.
Mine Explorer Finds What He Hopes Is a
Bonanza in Michigan.


Marquette, Mich, Aug. 3.-If things
turn out as intended parties here hope
that Marquette may have a Klondyke
right at home. This spring a mine ex-
plorer named James Wilkinson located
a lead half a mile southwest of Mount
Menard. He has obtained an option on
the pieces of property which it crosses,
and efforts are now being made to form
a company to work the find. The lead
is forty feet wide where it comes to the
surface, and continues for long dis
lance.
1t is near the old Julien Case proper
ty-about a quarter Of a mile from it
and Wilkinson thinks that what he has
discovered is the main lead, of which
the lead on the Case land was branch.
Assay tests have been made Of the rock
taken right off the surface of the Will
kinson lead These show that 1t runs
$103S to the ton in gold, with silver and
copper showing.

Adrian, Mich. Aug. 3.-The granting
of decree of divorce by Circuit Judge
Lane last Saturday in the case Of Helen
Cole VS.. Wilson Cole, has made public
a most peculiar state of affairs. The
grounds on which the divorce was grant,
ed were cruelty and desertion. 1t ap-
pears that the couple were married at
Morenci in October, 1866. They removed
to northern Michigan where they lived
with their four children until october
"a, 1875. On that day Mrs. Cole sent
her husband for a doctor, one Of the
children being seriously Ill. He never re-
turned and Is was not until three years
thereafter that she heard Of him and
then she learned that he head been
drowned at sea.
Mrs. Cole removed to this city and in
1873 was married to David Jackson, with
whom she has ever since lived, and
by whom she has had two children.
Very recently she learned that her first
husband was living at Crystal Valley,
where they resided when he disappeared.
He Is living there with a woman he
married in Pennsylvania, and they have
several children. AS soon as she learned
this fact she commenced divorce pro-
ceedings with the result stated.

SNEAK OATHS.
Pet Phrases which Are Apt to Dc
Harmful.


Harmful.
The natural tendency to exclaim ut
whatever surprises. annoys or pleases
grows into an unfortunate habit, which
thoughtlessness does not excuse.
Some people who would be shocked
at an oath, constantly use the words
Mercy" Goodness gracious" and
even such expressions as 20 heavens!"
"The Lord knows" and many others.
This shows something more than n
lack OF culture and refinement.
They are often uttered care1cssly,
but sometimes with u rebellious wish
TO be just little wicked, and make
ns near an approach TO an oath as the
reckless individual dare venture
1t is sometimes difficult to correst
careless speech, but success in life more
often depends on knowing just what
not TO say than what TO say.
More often than we think, some fool
ish little remark costs MS the respect
and esteem Of some one whose friend
ship we value.
Habits control us, and If we indulge
ourselves in the impulse to exclaim
over every trtling occurrence in our
homes, the words will glide from our
lips unawares. and leave an impress
sion on other minds not easily erased.
Perhaps you have never thought your
pet phrases and expressions either
wrong or harmful, but you must ad-
NIT that they are useless. II love, nd
miratiou and respect are worth win
ming. guard well the door of your lips.

THE PEARL or AFRICA,


dom of Uganda.
The brief announcement was recently
made that Mwangn, the king OF Uganda,
had fed from his capital and surren>
dered himself to the authorities Of
German East Africa. No further de-
tails were given, but the bare fact was
full of interest. For that scapegrace
king is one of the bestcknown charac-
tiers in all the Dark Continent, and
Uganda, the Pearl of Africa" is q
country upon which the attention Of
the world has been much centered. It
is region of geographical interest and
of great political Importance. and it
has been the scene of some Of the
most romantic adventures and most
earnest missionary efforts In all the
Dark Continent. The full story OF
Mwanga's abdication and flight and the
subsequent Development Of affairs win.
therefore, be awaited with peculiar
eagerness in America, as well as in the
three countries which have for years
been contending for the possession of
that equatorial kingdom
The immediate predecessor Of
Mwanga was Mtesa, who will be re-
membercd as a gentle savage" who
was most hospitable to the explorer
Stanley and under whose benign sway
Uganda was first brought to the at
tention of the civilized world. There
was once hope that Mwanga would fol-
low in mis- footsteps, but II has never
been approximated in realization. He
has, on the contrary, proved to be one
OF the worst specimens of African bar
barism.
In religion he has been pagan, Roman
Catholic and Protestant by turns, with
interludes of unique deviltry. He was
the murderer of Bishop Hannington
and the fomenter Of strife between the
French Roman Catholic and British
Protestant missionaries He has played
fast and loose with Great Britain, with
France and with Germany, and indeed
has shown himself consistent only In
weakness, cowardice, treachery and
cruelty. Uganda Is well rid of him,
and IL the Germans win keep him from
ever returning they will promote the
cause Of civilization and justice
Uganda Is now recognized as part
of the British empire. 1t will however,
still have king of Its own. The Brit
ish will put Mwanga's SON upon the
throne, with a council Of regency. Thus
a stable government win be assured
and the work of civilization will go ON.
For Uganda is really becoming o civ
ilized country. It's people are indolent
and unambitious, but they are docile
and intelligent, and take readily to civ
ilized ways. Agriculture and manufac-
lures have made much progress among
them. The gospel Of good roads has
been preached and bicycles are not
unknown. Huts are being abandoned
for houses. European furniture and
clothing are used, and there Lis talk of
b trolley line. When the steam rail-
road from the coast Is finished, as 1t
soon win be, there viii be more rapid
progress, and the pearl of Africa" will
doubtless become the seat Of genuine
and by no means rudimentary civiliza-
tion, to which end Mwanga, by HIS
timely departure, has materially con-
tributed.-N. Y. Tribune.
