SONNET.

Our yesterdays inthrall our morrows still
BY chains no rust Of time can wear away,
That with their iron and persistent sway
Serve purposes undreained of TO fulfill
And wake mp echoes OF the good and i'll
In mournful cadence or a rhythm gay.
Outlines what fateful sequences are they
Which follow trifling acts of sudden Will
Small streams grow broader as they onward
wind
To reach at last the ever rolling sea.

Small accidents-if accidents there be-
Had power our future years 10 free or bind
And be the factors of our destinyl

Humbert's Generosity.

King Humbert's generosity in chart
table works is said to be fabulous. A
petition hardly ever remains without
an answer. His majesty spontaneously
gives presents to those persons to whom
he does not wish to grant subsidies
These presents are generally of two
kinds-a golden clock with the royal
arms or brooch set in diamonds. His
1eweler supplies him each year with
800 clocks and 1000 brooches. King
Humbert never goes to the theater save
on the occasion Of an official solemnity
de says that he finds no pleasure in
artificial life.
II play part every day." he says.
In the political and official comedy.
What can the other comedians teach
me?"-Rome Letter.

Origin Of q Name.

The origin Of the name Fife is not
known. One historian tries to show
that it comes from the Celtic word
veach, Pict. and means that the dis
trict was inhabited by Picts, but that is
obviously absurd, as Fife was not spe-
cially the home Of any of the Pictish
nations. The tradition that finds great
est favor is related by monk, who
states that the first known possessor of
the district which has since grown into
the Kingdom of Fife was one Fifus
Duffus, famous chieftain whose date
is lost In the mists of ANTIQUITY.

GOLD OF THE WOBD.
WHAT THE DIRECTOR OF re MINT
AT WASHINGTON SAYS souT IT.

The Estimated Product Of fhe Metal For
lsss-The Influence of Ae Addition whl
BE to still Further Dpreoiate the Value
of Silver.
That gold exiss in large quantities
in the newly dj6overed Klondike dis
triot is sufficiently proved by the large
amount receAtly brought out by the
steamship Companies and miners re.
turning 20 the states who went into the
district within the last eighteen months
So far 1900, 900 in gold from the
Klondike district has been deposited at
the minis and assay offices of the United
States, and from information now at
hand there are substantial reasons for
believing that from $4,000, 600 TO
S4,000,000 additional will be brought
out by the steamers and returning
miners sailing from ST. Michael's the
last Of September or early October next.
One of the steamship companies states
that 1t expects TO bring out about
$4,000, 600 on its steamer sailing from
st. Michael's Sept. 30 and has asked
the government TO have revenue cut
ter act as a convoy through the Boring
sea. In view of the facts above stated l
am justified in estimating that the
Klondike district will augment the
worlds gold supply in 1897 nearly
$4,000, 600.

Canada for 1896, as estimated by DR..
q. NJ. Dawson, director of TIE roologi-
cal survey Of that country, was S2,Sl0.-

within British territory, were credited |
with production of $3.50, O00 The |
total product of that country for 1897 |
has, therefore, been estimated at Sl0,- |
600, 600, an increase over 1896 of ST.
200,0 900. From this the richness of the
newly discovered goldfields of the Klon-
dixie is evident,
IN this connection it is important TO
know what will be the probable in

world, and for the purpose of COMPARE

estimated product of these countries for

ALBUQUERQUE NOTES.

Company G, Albuq uerque Guards, held

ployed until the work ls finished.
Saturday night last Mrs. Smell, Mrs.
Burlingame and daughter, Mrs. and Miss
Stagg and Mr.. George Jones' Ind family
left for Los Angeles, where they will reside
in the future. The removal was caused
by transfer of railroad Offices from this
city to the coast.
Mr.. w. II. Cobb has returned from the
Cochiti country, where he has heen in the
interest of the Chicago Unive sity. Mr..

The new boiler shop in course of erec-
tion by the Santa Fe company is 60 by
1870 feet, and when finished will be equip
ped with the best of modern machinery.
1t is expected that the building will be
ready for use by september. At present
boilers are sent to Topeka for repairs,
but the shop here will obviate the neces.
sity of long transportation of boilers
needing attention. The company is also
building two repair tracks in the yards,
500 yards long each, and rumors have it
that an addition of 12 stalls will be made
to the round house.

This whole question in all it's damn

JAPAN'S OPPOSITION.
She will Continue TO Firmly Oppose
Annexation by the United States
Even to the Extent OF Overstep-
ping Diplomatic Grounds.

New York, July ga special to the
Herald from Washington says that Japan
will continue to oppose the Hawaiian an
nexation treaty as is conclusively shown
by the latest protest of the Japanese gov
ernment under date of July 10, now made
public. While oouched in polite and dip
lomatic language, the protest is suffi-
ciently firm in tone to show that Japan
will continue to wage diplomatic war and
possibly go further, to prevent the con-
summation of the annexation policy. The
reply concludes: "Jspan has absolutely
no designs of any kind whatever inimical
to Hawaii, and no motive in her dealings
With this country, except to secure by
legitimate means due Observance of her
just obligations"

A COMPLETE TIE-UP.
The Strike Leaders Claim That They
Have Adopted Measures That Will
Make q Complete Tie Up This
Week.

Pittsburg, July 26.-The miner off
cials claim they have adopted measures
that will make complete tie up this
week. The West Virginia miners are
waiting the action of the men in the New
York and Cleveland mines of this dis
t1ict It is claimed if they strike, the 'falt.
ering ones in West Virginia will fall in line
thus making the strike effective by shut
ting off the supply of coal.
The report that raid on the mines OF
the New York and Cleveland Gas and Goal
company, was contemplated this morn
ing, was without foundation. The fifty
special deputies called for last night, re.
turned to the city this morning, but no
strikers appeared in the vicinity. No
raid is probable until after the Debs'
meeting on Thursday. If the men refuse
to come out then demonstration will
likely be made later.
