FIRST WOMEN TO CROSS.


brides Of Two 81Dsi0narf31 Made the
TRIP Before Fremont.
In the Ladies' Home Journal George
Ludington Weed writes Of ''When DR..
Whitman Added Three Stars to Our
Flag" and shows conclusively that .
party of five people, including two wom-
en-, crossed the Rocky mountains at
South pass in 1886, six years prior to
Fremont's crossing. Concerning this
interesting historical incident Mr.. Weed
writes: "The first wedding tour across
the continent was in 1886. There were
two couples, Marcus Whitman, NJ. D.,
and Rev. III. Fl. Spaulding and their
brides. They made the journey Of $500
miles, occupying seven months, In .
wagon, the first to cross the continent.
DR.. Whitman, having visited the region
before, was guide to the new home in
Oregon. He was the first to make
known its value to the United States.
South pass is reached writes Mr..
Weed of the famous journey, "the
highest plateau, the divide of the con-
tinent. In the pass the traveller reads
the inscription: Fremont, 1872 All
honor due to the Pathfinder but also
to the two heroines who had gone
through six years before his claimed
discovery. Let another inscription
read: Mrs. Whitman and Mrs. Spauld-
ing, 1885,
1T is the Fourth of July. The party
pauses in Its journey. Patriotic words
are spoken as the Bible and flag are
taken from the wagon. The one is laid
on blanket spread upon the grass; the
other is raised over all. The kneeling
company offers prayer and praise and
reverently takes possession of the re-
gion beyond 'in the name of God and
of the United States The only human
witnesses to the scene are the two Nez
Perce lads who witnessed the Whit
man wedding ceremony at Angelica, N.
Y, Immediately preceding the start for
Oregon"

Its work and the coal is shove!ed into
cars they are gathered together with
the aid of mule or electric locomotive
and arranged in long trains which are
hauled to the mouth of the mine by
powerful electric locomotives. These
are made Of narrow gauge. of small
dimensions, 30 an to be capable Of
use in galleries and runs where mnies
cannot be used without extra cutting.
They are controlled by means OF series
Of parallel controllers now go universal

which draws. its current from the same

the motorman to see any obstruction on

MooNsHiNERs ia COURT.


A Georgia Judge Has seven Weeks of
Noonshine Docket ut = Men Day.
Nearly 1000 moonshiners will have
been tried during this term OF the
United States court when Judge New
man finishes with the criminal docket
OF the present sitting, reports the At
lanta Constitution. This is record
that proves beyond all possible doubt
that the moonshine business is not
dead in Georgia by long ways. The
old bands of whitecappers and the des-
perate gangs of outlaw moonshiners
who once ruled north Georgia have
been wiped out, but the festive moon
sinner still plies his occupation in the
wilds of the Georgia mountains. For
days Judge Newman has been trying
moonshiners at the rate OF % a day.
This will continue for five weeks longer
before the moonshine docket is fin
ished. The aggregated sentences OF the
moonshiners win make something less
than a century. The cost of furnishing
the mponshiners is quite heavy. Some
of them are given sentences of six
months in Jail. This means six months
with plenty to eat and nothing to do,
with the government paying for every
thing. The moonshiners are frequently
fined, but nearly always they take the
pauper's oath and avoid payment
An average of one~half of the moon
sinners put on trial are convicted. The
daily convictions average from eight to
fourteen. Fulton county gets the iarg-
est number of the government board
ers. The Jail here is kept full nearly d.!
the time. Every county in the northern
district that has good Jail is given
proportion of the sentenced moonshin-

Land in the Heart Of Chicago.
John Baptiste Lemieux, the we'll
known Muskegon (Mich.) lumberman.
is dead, says the Chicago Chronicle.
Mr.. Lemieux was one Of the best
known characters among tho sturdy
pioneer lumbermen who had % much
to do with Muskegon's great industry,
a French Canadian Injured to hardship
and accomplished in the woodcraft
which made Of such men matchless
workers In the wilderness.
In early life at Montreal he learned
his trade % . shipbuilder, and getting
out timber ON the Ottawa river his skill
in woodcraft and numbering. About
!s4o, or soon after, he went L. Chicago
and worked a. shipbuilder there with
Mr.. Morrison, now . millionaire. 1t ~
related that q customer who could not
nav cash offered lots on what II now
Clark street, near the court house,
Lemieux declined, but Morrison &C.
cepted, and through them became
wealthy. Mr.. Lemieux then tried farm
ing in Illinois, but soon abandoned that
for more congenial occupations.
About 1648 he came to this vicinity
and built at Duck Lake . sawmill for
Charles Nears, of Ch:cago. He later
owned and ran hotel at Port Sherman,
and was also an owner and operator of
tuQboats on this lake and its tributary
territory.
He was identified with many prom
inent lumber firms here, but few
years ago he became interested in the
500 Mill Lumber company, and moved
to Sault Ste. Marie. Few men were bet
ter known among the older residents
than Mr.. Lemieux, who was q specimen
woodsman all round, versed in all the
ins and outs Of numbering, perhaps az
efficient q man in that line a. ever
swung an Ak or pulled saw in the for
ests which paid tribute to Muskegon
mills. He was about rs years old.

The Influence ofXirtne.

Virtue alone can give permanency to a
nation, and secure contentment for the
several parts of which society is composed
Virtue, according to st. Augustine, is the
good use of ones free will According to
ST. Thomas, it inclines man 10 do what is
right, and to wrong no one. Without vir-
tue love of country becomes sham. Hence
1t IS true that patriotism is often the last
refuge of scoundrels. When virtue fails
nothing can save the nation except the
strong arm of the law; but pagan philos-
opher wisely said that laws are powerless
without sound conception of moral obi
cations. That the peace of a nation NAV
he perpetuated virtue is necessary in legis-
lation, in the administration of Justice and
in the daily lives Of citizens. Legislation
falls because it is conceived in iniquity. ex-
ecuted in tyranny and despsed by an out
ragged people. 1t is folly to speak of the
sanctity OF law when the weak are Cypress
ed, the complaints of the poor ignored and
the impious are in high places. Virtue
gives wisdom to legislators. 1t secures the
honest enforcement of law, and it enables
judges to hold the scales so evenly that
strict justice may be rendered to every liti-
CANT. Such is the influence of virtue
