steamer St Paul last night said that
up to the time of his departure, not

on beaches, other than that controlled
by the Alaska Commercial company

years ago and that the question of
ownership had been referred to the au-

ago, but that up to the time of his de-
parture, no decision had been rendered
from Washington.
This landing place is the most con-

comparatively safe and convenient,

Here is a new story about the man
who forgot to mail his wlfe's letter.
The hero is a newspaper man who Is
connected with one of the New
Orleans dailies:
Something over two years ago, on a
cold winters day, his wife gave him
a letter to mail, and he slipped 1t into
his overcoat pocket. 1t was addressed
10 a friend in Los Angeles. Two weeks
ago, during a chilly snap, he put on the
overcoat, and in the lining he felt the
long lost missive Conscience striclt-
en-, and without noticing the date or re-
membering when the letter had been
given him, he rushed off and posted it.
1t was when the reply came from the
friend in Los Angeles that the secret
was out. TEA friend thought that the
writer must have gone crazy. Il was
glad to get your letter." the friend re-
piled, but what on earth is the matter
with you? You wrote things that hap
pened two years ago and about nothing
else"

The Oregon is the queen Of battle
ships. She has broken all records
for distance. for sustained speed, for
coal endurance. It is an impressive
fact that she had TO leave two cruisers
behind because they could not keep
up with her. II is interesting that
nearly every ship built at San Fran
cisco turned out the best Of her class,
the San Francisco, the Monterey, the
Oregon, the Olympia. The contract
price of these ships was higher than
on the Atlantic, though the actual
cost Of building is not much more.
The builders seem to put their excess
Of profit into superior work.

Z The bill providing for a national
commission for the arbitration of dis
putes between railway companies and
their employees, recently passed by
both Houses of Congress, appears to
the New York Independent to be a
very creditable measure, and while by
no means so radical as has been adj
vocated by many parties, it is free
from the very serious objections which
attach to any proposition for compul-
sorry arbitration. Briefly, the bill
provides that either railway companies
or employees may request the Chair
man of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the Commissioner of
Labor to endeavor to settle q pending
dispute amicably by mediation be-
tween the contending parties. In
case the endeavor falls, each party to
the controversy is to name one arbitra-
tor and the two SO appointed shall
select third, and the board SO chosen
shall make an award within twenty
days from the time the third arbitra-
tor is selected. The award shall con-
tinue in force between the parties for
one year, and the employer shall not
dismiss nor shall any employe dis
satisfied with the award quit work
under three months without giving
thirty days notice. The only force
relied upon to cause either party to
take advantage of this system and tc
abide by the results is the force Of
public opinion, which is, after all, the
real force behind laws Of every sort
It is believed that few railway com
panies or labor organizations would
venture to encounter the public dis
approval that would follow its re
fusal to submit its case to arbitration
or the still stronger expression Of pub
lie sentiment that would follow a fail
ure to accept the results Of an arbi
tration.

There died lately in a Tennessee in
sane asylum a young woman who, FIVE
years ago, in a fit Of jealousy, killed
her most intimate girl friend because
the latter had chosen to enlarge the
circle of her companions. Alice
Mitchell is a fatal type Of an infatua-
tion common among school and coll
lege girls, which, while seldom ac-
companied by such tragic results, yet
causes untold headaches and heart
burnings, observes the Youths Com
panion. Flowers and candy, calls
and drives, notes and poetry, loss Of
appetite and failure in lessons are out
ward signs of affections unwholesome
in their selfshness and intensity. It
has been said that the lifelong friend
ships formed there constitute the prin-
cipal charm of college life, and this is
true; but young people and their par
ents and teachers should discourage
all such absorbing attachments as
wrecked the lives of Alice Mitchell
and her young victim.

Half the arabic land Of France,
little more than half the pasture, as
much as aiE-sevenths Of the vine
yards, and two-thirds Of tho garden
land are cultivated by their owners.
The average size Of the farm in France
is fifteen and one-quarter acres against
sixty-three acres in Great Britain.
The average in the United States at
the date Of the last Federal census was
1877 acres. More than thirty nine per
cent. Of the farms in France are under
one hectare, equal to two and one-hali
acres; only two and one-half per cent.
Of the French holdings amount to 100
acres each.
