DON'T BLAME THE WORLD.

Don't blame the world because the thorns arc
found among the roses.
The day that breaks I'm storm may be all sun
shine when ii closes
We cannot hope to always meet with fortune s
fond caressng,
And that which seems most hard TO bear may
bring with il n blessing
That buried seed must rot in earth ere It pro-
duce the flower,
And the weak plant to fructify must have both
sun and shower;
So man, to gain development, must struggle
with life's crosses,
And view with calm philosophy his trials and
his losses.
A deadly, poisnous weed may yield salve OF
surest healing:
The sweetest blossom may pois'nous be- al
though it's bane concealing
Things are not always what they seem, but
still twas heaven designed them,
And we should class them all as good and take
them as we find them
Little we know OF this brief life and nothing OF
its sequel:
Then let US take in humble trust all that may
seem unequal
Gods ways arc not our ways, aud He should
certainly be trusted:
All that is wrong in his His good time will
surely be adjusted.

The Northwestern railway com

England and worth Dragging

might absorb it very easily. The
Pennsylvania railroad, for exam

traverses thirteen states. It has
1886 locomotives, which consume

These locomotives and cars, if
placed upon single track, would

or ten times the distance between
Philadelphia and New York. The
rails of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
if laid end to end, would encircle
the globe and overlap about 1000
miles. The total annual revenue
of the road is $135, 900, O,OOO-equal

New York, Aug, S.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
There is a short route to the rich gold
fields of the Klondike, according to
communication to the Interior depart
ment from j. G.. G. Lewis, OF Salem,
Oregon, who says he can open up at a
small expense a route from the mouth
of the Copper river by which the Klon-
dixie may be reached by journey of
not more than 300 miles from the coast.
The route which he proposes Will be
started from the mouth of the Copper
river near the Oxmiles glacier, about
lbs miles east of the entrance to Prince
Williams sound. He declares the Cop
per river is navigable for small steam
ers for many miles beyond the mouth
of its principal stream tributary, call
ed on the latest maps the Chillyna
river, which is itself navigable for
considerable distance.
From the head of navigation ON the
Chillyna Mr.. Lewis says, either a high
way or a road could be built without
great difficulty of very large grades,
through what the natives call the Low
Pass" probably the Scoloi pass. From
this pass the road would follow the
valley of the White river to the point
where it empties into the Yugon on the
edge of the Kiondike gold fields.
George f. Becker, in a report made
to the geodentical survey of his inves-
tigation of 1895 OF the coast and gold
districts. says that most of the islands
of the Alexander Archipelago contain
gold deposits yet unworked, that would
probably repay very handsomely well
directed efforts of placer mining.
These deposits are in the neighborhood
| of Sitka.
Another fairly promising region is in
group of deposits on the Kenai Pen
insular, on the southeast shore of
Cook inlet and at Yakutat bay and the
beaches of Kadeak island. These re-
gions have as yet been exploited only
to a limited degree, owing to the un-
favorable, condition of the coast.

New York, Aug. 3.-The Herald says:
Guillaume Balensi, alias Alfred Bal
ensi, alias William A. Bellwood, will
certainly be extradited If, after the
prosecution of the charges aginst him
by local jewelers., he is liberated. 1t is
the intention of the French authorities
as expressed by Minister of Foreign
Affairs NJ. Hanotaux, and by Acting
Consul General Charpentier, to use
every means to take Balensi back to
Paris on the accusation of forgery and
embezzlement.
Mime. Balensi at present, according
to cable dispatches. lives in Paris with
her three children.
The statement by cable is that Bal
ensi left the mother of his children
and that she has not been in commun-
ication with him for a long time. Yet
the fact remains that Balensi has been
accompanied by a woman known as
Mrs. Balensi and that she has taken a
devoted interest in his welfare.
Concerning Balensi's identity with
the man who acted as poor Max Lee
baudy's broker, there can be no longer
even the vaguest doubt. Consul Char
pentier said that persons who knew
Balensi in Paris have visited him here
and have declared that he is the man

A SUCCESS.

Boston, Aug, ga sextuplex tele-
graph wire was successfully operated
here last night in the persence Of rep
resentatives of New York and Boston
newspapers. The circuit was to New
Haven, Conn, and return, distance
of 800 miles. The messages were sent
over the wire simultaneously and We're
easily and accurately received by the
receiving sides.
The inventor is Thomas B. Dixon, of
Kentucky, son of the late Archibald
Dixon, once Senator of the state.
He is a practical telegrapher and has
been attempting to solve the problem
of the sextuplex since 1891.
Edison, Field and Tesla and many
other leading electricians have expert
mented with sextuplex wire but with

WAS IT BURGLARY?

officer Khouri Discovers a Building
Which Had Been Broken Open.
While Police officer Joe Khouri was
making his rounds on his beat this
morning about o'clock he discovered
that some one had broken the door of
the Devine building, No. 121 Soledad
street, open and effected an entrance
to the building.
He entered also and after searching
about found large lamp which he
lighted and used to aid him in search
ing the entire building, even to the cell
lar, but his search proved fruitless as
no one could be found.
The evidence however Is plain that
the door was broken open as the lock is
broken and the part of the door on
which the lock is fastened is shattered,
but it is a mystery whether it was
broken merely through mischievous
intent or for the purpose of burglary.
There was nothing in the building
but some Office furniture, with the ex-
ception of a large safe which stands
near the front door. This might have
been seen by some unacquainted crook
and, thinking 1t was a rich find, he eff
fected an entrance for the purpose of
cracking it, and after gaining admit
lance and discovering it to be only
stored there as are the rest of the fix
lures, he left in disgust

Conservatives Gen. Paul has already
affected a compromise with the Lib

who in return for Gen. Pauls with
drawal from the race will appoint Gen.

laws have killed Quanah Parker, one
of the most noted Indian chiefs of the

the North Fork creek. They were en-
gagged in a game of cards when the
chief was killed by an outlaw and rob-
bed of his money.
