New Customs Inspector for
Bonner's Ferry.

News, but the Engineers Con-
tinue to Push Their Work.

Judge Henry Melder has been
appointed Customs Inspector at
this port to fill the vacancy oc-
casioned by the Resignation of Mr..
Tim Callahan. He arrived from
Rathdrum today and will at once
enter upon his duties. The posi-
ton pays $500 per day, and the
work is largely matter of killing
time. We should have been pleas
ed to see a Kootenai Valley man
get the job-and there were a
half dozen aspirants-yet if an
outsider had to get it, we know of
no one we should rather see get it
than Judge Melder. We fear, how
ever, that the news of this appoint
ment will be sad indeed TO some of
our local goldbugs who had been
promised office.

Pen Mightier Than sword.

The life of such man as Peter Force
was worth more to American letters
and to human history than the lives of
score of the military generals and other
notahles whose names are so generally
biazo ned about. He lived for more than
half & century in Washington. He filled
many public and responsible positions,
and he was for nine years editor and
proprietor of daily journal which en-
joyed the confidence of Henry Clay and
John Quincy Adams; but it is not as
mayor of Washington nor as an editor
that he will be best remembered. His
characteristic merit, which differeDti-
ates him from the Ritchies, the Duff
Greens and the F. p. Blairs, who also
bore an active part in political journal
ism at the national capital, is that he
was more than a journalistic was a

FIFTEEN NEW WAR VESSELS.
Three Monster Men of War, Three Great
Cruisers and Nine Other Vessels Rec
commended by Com mirtee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The naval
committee of the house has practically
decided to bring in bill for the con-
struction of Is new naval vessels. Also
to increase the enlisted force of the
navy as recommended by Secretary
Long to 90, 600 men. The naval COM
mittee does not wish to be behind the
military committee of the house in car
rying out the presidents recommends
tions and it is expected that a bill will
soon be ready for the house.
The new construction is for three bat
tie ships of $500 tons and great steam
ing radius; three $4,000 ton armored
cruisers; three 5000 ton armored erals
ers, and six protected cruisers of 1850
tons each, for service in the waters
around our insular possessions. These
were recommended by the bureau of
construction, and while the committee
had not finally acted upon the matter
the fact that it will do so has been
very clearly indicated at the two in
formal meetings of the committee held
this week.

We passed the iacework of trees that

drumming of a horses hoofs growing

and it was a relief to find that this cut

pitiful figure at the gates of the inn.
Nicholas drew the folds of his frayed
cloak over his head, as if to shut out
all sound, and hurried onward-a tall
figure, lank and dark, that fitted before

De Gomerc1 has been appointed by Gen.

against him. Nicholas, a sergeant, brings

are from the kings camp at lie Fere.
DAuriac, angered by insulting manner of de
Gomeron toward the woman, strikes him.
A duel followsa and during the commotion
the prisoners escape. De Rome happens on
the disorderiy scene, and d'Auriac, upon
giving his parole not to attempt escape,

his place as usual on de Rone's staff. In

i-nminent danger of almost instant death
