ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
5 IN INDEcIPHERABlE CIPHER :
xAAAeAAA&A4AAAA A&xA,

Many man who thought he was doing
wisely In committing some secret to
writing or cipher known only to the cor
respondent has come to grief. The great
majority Of ciphers can In time be read
by the recurrence of certain letters.
The vowel that occurs most often will
probably be the letter e. When this Is
once discovered 1t Is still more easy ia
find A, and when few Of the leading let.
ters are thus found the rest follow very
easily.
Even the dictionary cipher which is a
pretty good one, can be found by trying
several of the leading dictionaries and
running forward and backward from the
word in the cipher. When you have
found the third or fourth word that
makes sense the entire body of the cat
is practically out of the bag.
The problem in true cipher is to have
some constant change of the characters
following some regular rule so easy to
carry in the head that it need not be
committed to the dangerous custody of
paper And 1t must be so easy to use
that it can be applied anywhere and all
traces of the solution quickly destroyed.
There is one that meets these require
ments and is so simple that one who
merely reads this description once can
never forget it, Notice the letters at the

ENGLAND AND THE CONTINENT

"A recent interview with the Austria 4
ambassador to Germany, which has
been given publicity, reveals a very in
teresting condition of affairs that lies
hidden beneath the surface of the east
ern tumult The ambassador says that
q distinct understanding exists between
Russia, France, Austria and Germany
for the settlement of the whole question
that is at present agitating Eastern
Europe. He contends that British in
trigue Is the real secret of the Greek
obstinacy, and holds with the German
emperor that English greed is the dis
cordant element in the brotherhood Of
the family Of nations. For this reason
Great Britain will not be admitted to
the deliberations of the four powers
when the time shall come to re-establish
peace in the Orient and to determine the
fate OF European Turkey. England is
further to be restrained in her ambitious
designs in South Africa. and will not be
permitted to annex the Transvaal
This is the Austrian's view of the sit
uation. in which view there can be no
doubt that Russia and Germany fully
concur. But the very integrity of the
British empire will demand that Eng
land shall be heard in any international
council that shall arrogate the right to
settle the future of European Turkey.
The anti-British concert is represented
rs necessary in the interest of peace and
Justice, but in one direction too much is
assumed. 1t is assumed that England
will surrender the prestige that she has
80 long enjoyed as the controlling factor
In the affairs Of Europe, rather than
precipitate a European war. That is
undoubtedly mistake. The British
representatives might be excluded from
the deliberations of the powers under
such an agreement as the one outlined
by Count Marich, but all the strength Of
England's army and navy would surely
be present when the hour came for the
division of the spoil. It ie ethenavalsunre-
macy of Great Britain, more than all

The foregoing Is very plain. indeed.
What a revolution 1t would work today
were a man to observe his religious CALL
ing as a something distinct from the
means of livelihood. No longer would
the clerical profession be regardedlin the
light of simply a good and respectable
calling. A man would be able to speak
the truth from his heart. not fearing to
suffer from the caprice Of any wealthy
congregation. The ministry would then
be more Of a calling, and less Of pro-
fession.
ministry will ever. as long as 1t exists,
cease to be a profession. TodaS many a
young man takes his choice from the
army, the navy. the medical profession
and the ministry; when the latter pro-
fession is chosen. he trains himself for
it as he would for any of the others, with
the expectancy that it will yield him in
return for his work an honorable living.
There may be those who enter the min
istry because their hearts have been
touched by the living fire of inspiration,
but such cases are probably few, and
perhaps are not so often found in the
students of theological seminary, as in
the obscure man, working for his daily
bread, and reserving his spiritual life
as something sacred and apart from
prosaic bread and butter.
It is interesting and instructive to the
laity to learn that the cry IAN over
stocked market" has reached even the
ranks of the ministry. In the world of
manual labor this cry has long been
heard; more recently it has come from
the worlds of art and of literature and
now we are told that even the sacred
profession is not exempt. There seems
TO be too many of US all along the line.

A Night in Bear Canyon

Midst towering peaks. where solitude
appals
A rugged chasm rears it's frowning walls,
A swift stream grumbles in its stony bed,
A narrow strip of star-specked sky o'er-

My couch upon the ground beneath tree,
For lullaby, the nights own symphony.
The chirp of frogs, the rushing waters
surge,
And Don Coyotes mournful plant soon

In one composite drooning sound, and then
The cloak Of silence spreads DER all again.
Oblivion reigns till pale the stars away
And down the mountain steals the scent of

ANOTHER FIGHT

Secretary Alger has evidently been at
pains to break it to us gently. A dispatch
from Washington, published this morn
ing says that Mr.. Alger is now preparing
q reply in advance to the resolution pend
ing in congress concerning his dilatori-
ness in carrying out the project of the
special commission for the improvement
of San Pedro harbor.
Over-credulous contemporaries have
exhibited a marked anxiety lately to
dispel the fears that The Herald has
repeatedly given voice to concerning
Secretary Alger's delay. Congressman
Barlow has been the butt of gibes be-
cause he wanted to know" and we have
been assured that his insistence was
uncalled for at the very moment that the
secretary Of war was on the point of
advertising for bids.
Secretary Alger is said to be preparing
his complaint that both the acts of con-
gress and the commissions plans are
indefinite in vital points" Nothing could
have been clearer than the appropriation
of congress for a specific purpose and
nothing could have been more positive
than the decision Of the commission. The
most indefinite feature of the situation
has hitherto been Secretary Alger, and
unhappily it is in very vital point.
The object is obviously to once more
unload the whole question upon congress.

You see they spell Blackstone. Black
stone is, therefore, the keyword of the
cipher.
Under each one of the letters of the
keyword the alphabet is continued
downward to the end and from that be-
ginning with A, around to the letter of
the keyword from which the column
starts. We now have ten columns of
twenty-six letters each. And as they all
start from a keyword of which no two
letters are alike every letter will have IA
different number in every column. We
will now write with the numbers at the
left instead of the letters. Each letter
of the writing will be taken in turn from
the different columns, going all the way
through before returning to the first COL
umn.

Here we have sentence of five words
with nine repetitions Of about the most
common letter in the alphabet-"Meet
Meeker here next week" No amount
of patience would unravel it, as it is
written with the numbers changed ev-
cry time. AS 1t is not necessary to use
the same keyword even in the same COM
munication it is easy to see how impos-
sible it is to unravel it unless the key
words are known. A sentence may be
used instead of a word; and while it Is
better to have all the letters different,
like Ink for sale, ""Wheat -four" or any
of the words or phrases used by trades
men to mark the cost of their goods so
that the purchaser cannot tell the profit
they are getting, it is not at all neces -.
sary. A word of five letters is generally
enough. And this may be sent by pre-
vious understanding in letter, making
it either the first or the last word or the
only underscored word or the only un-
usual word or by misspelling it. Or we
may agree to take in order words of five
or more letters from the constitution, or
the second chapter of Job. or anything
we choose The principle of the cipher
is that no one of the slightest brains can
forget it, that anyone who can write can
make out the table with pencil in a few
minutes and with a very little practice
one can write much faster than one
would suppose. For the small number

changed so often that finding the key
word is quite impossible.
This cipher is at least century old
1t was used by Aaron Burr in his secret
correspondence. His keyword was
Utica" Even that is long enough to
prevent unraveling of the cipher by the
recurrence of certain letters. The cipher
seems little known, and outside of an
old history of Burrs trial l have never
seen or heard Of it. But it has many
advantages, and, above all, that of being
indecipherable except by accidental dis
covery of the keyword

Hard, cold and selfish as Sherman is, he

of Dover.

The attorneys for Theodore Durrant
are keeping up most ridiculous clamor
over the conviction and sentence of their
precious protege. Durrant murdered a
beautiful school girl more than two
years ago was duly convicted and SEN
fenced to be hanged. and the judgment
was affirmed by the supreme court. His
counsel having in their way exhausted
every eXpedient known to the law to
save the fellows life, are now engaged
in advancing expedients unknown to
the law to the same end. Among other
things they say that they will notify
the officer charged with the execution
of the sentence that he must disregard
the sentence of the court, and if, after
such notice, he should still perform his
duty and hang the convict, then he
will be arrested for murder. We hav4
heard of young legal fiedglings advanc-
ing some such proposition in our local
police courts from time to time, but in
this neck O. the woods we never seri-
ously regard that sort of timber as be-
longing to the legal profession. Verify
there is a sphere of action for the dis
culinary measure that was voted at the
late session of the legislature.
