The Chicago Times-Herald thinks that Paul
du Chaillu is likely to be the new Minister
to Sweden and Norway, and it adds: "His
appointment would be a very popular one
with all the Scandinayians in America. 1t
was Du Chaillu's book, The Land of the
Midnight Sun that made Sweden and Nor
way well known to the remainder of the
world. His enthusiastic descriptions of the
beautiful scenery and the simple hospitality
of the people of the rugged peninsula of the
north started the tide of summer travel flow
Ing along the coast of Norway, into the
wonderful fiords and across into Sweden, and
all the Scandinavians have held him in
grateful remembrance"

Washineton's Married Life.

"There is every reason to believe that
Washingtons married life was one of in
creasing happiness and satisfaction, ~
writes Gen. A. w. Greedy in the Ladies'
Home Journal. unfortunately his let
tiers to his wife were destroyed by her.
But there are sufficient illusions in his
general correspondence to indicate that,
they grew together with declining years,
and that both husband and wife showed
that consideration toward, and respect,
for, each other which are the soundest;
guarantees of marital happiness Since
circumstances did not permit frequent
visits of his wife to her relatives we find
Washington inviting her mother to come
to Mount Vernon as her home. 1t does
not appear that this introduction added
to the harmony of the household, or if it
did the admission of other women, rela-
tives of husband and wife, did not In
this respect. Washington, writing later
about his niece living at Mount Vernon
speaks of his love for her, but he says
L will never again have two women in
my house when | am there myself Mrs.
Washington proved an unfailing support
to her husband in camp or court, in
peace or war, and Washington had her
happiness and comfort always at heart.
His field service was irksOme only as
entalllng constant uneasineSS on the part
of his wife. OF the many instances of
his tender sOlicitude for her uncertain
health there is none more touching than
that connected with his fatal illness. At

night WashingtOn's malady was at least
FASTENED by his unwillingness that his
wife should incur the risk of cold by
rising during the winter night to relieve
his suffering -

DEvEL oP NORTHERN MICHIGAN.
Two New Railways Which will Aid in the
Work.

Negaunee, Mich, Sept. 11-[Speciall
Two small railways are now under con-
struction, both of which, when com
pleted, will be of material assistance in
developing the resources of this district.
The most important is the Manistique q
Northwestern, beginning at Manistique.
on Lake Michigan. and which is to have
its northern terminus here. A contract
was recently let for the building of an
other section of the line and when com
peted the road will not only open a rich
timber district. the soil of which is fer
tile and well adapted to agriculture after
the timber is cleared, but will also afford
an inlet into the peninsula to some OF the
lower Michigan lines which are DESTROYS
of getting an entry into the rich iron and
copper districts. Carferries are now in
successful operation across Lake Michi-
gan at a number of points, and a car
ferry service to Manistique from Manis-
tee, Traverse City or some intermediate
point could be operated economically.
The second line is the Munising rail-
way, which begins a Munising, the new
town forty miles west of MARQUETTE and
at present ends in the forest Work is
now in progress ON this line, which, when
completed. will connect with the Chicago
q Northwestern system at some point
about midway between Negaunee and
Escanaba. The line passes through one
of the finest hardwood belts now stand
ing on the American continent and is
certain to have an important effect in
developing the industries of this section.

HAWAII PAYS THE FREIGHT.
Will Bear the Expenses of United States
Senators.

Macon, Ga, Sept 1.-THE Hawaiian
government has made an effort to induce
Senator A o. Bacon of Georgia to ac-
company Senators Quay and Morgan on
their contemplated visit to that island,
and thus has become public the circum-
stances under which the above named
gentlemen will make the trip.
Mr.. Thurston, Hawaiian commissioner
in this country, addressed letter to Mr..
Bacon lately. inviting him to be one of
the party TO visit Hawaii and make a
thorough inspection of the possibilities of
and conditions on the island, with a view
toward setting himself right on the sub
ject. He said the trip would cost the
senator nothing and pledged him a good
time and lots of fun.
Senator Bacon answered that his views
were so inimical to annexation that they
could not be altered by personal visit,
and he did not believe in acquiring terri
tory SO far from this country and did
not care to 0bligate himself in any way
to support a measure which he could not
indOrse.
Later he was urged by Senator Morgan
to accept the proposition, but he returned
the same reply.
