NEW YORK. Oct 1S.-Samuel NJ. Jarvis,
Of 100 Broadway, yesterday cleared up the
small degree of mystery surrounding the

officials in officials in Havana disposed Of
them at auction. There was objection at
first on the score that according to the

Testing an Election Inv.

RALEIGH, N. c.. Oct. 1s.-It transpires
that it is the purpose of the Republicans, at
the meeting of their State executive COM
mittee, now in progress. to try to make a
test of the new election law, as they are
doing in Kentucky. But if they should sue
ceed in any way in setting the law aside
which is not in the least probable, they
would not knock out the Democrats, for the
act of 1885 would in such case be opera
tive. under which the clerks of superior
courts appoint al! election officers, and

A HEALTH OFFICER RESIGNS.
Trouble Caused by Recent Yellow
Fever Outbreak.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, Oct 1S.-Health
officer John r. Bagby has rendered his
resignation TO Mayor A. A. Moss.
During the yellow fever epidemic at the
Soldiers Home DR.. Bagby was charged with
issuing passes through the quarantine lines
to improper persons for pay, and after a
heated discussion in the council he was sus-
pended.
Quarantine officer s. ". Hobson was ap-
pointed health officer to act temporarily
during the yellow fever scare, or until the
charges which were brought could be prop
erly aired. When the scare subsided and
there was no further need of quarantine
measures DR.. Hobson rendered his resIg-
nation, and the council elected DR.. W. F.
Creasey as health officer, pending the in
vestigetion requested by DR.. Bagby. The in
vestigation resulted in his exoneration. and

as important as any other business IN
which the human race is engaged, for it is
on this that the future safety and happi-
ness OF the world depend One of the
things which make England the tremen-
dous power that she is in the world is her
racial instinct for home making. The
great English country houses, with their
secure freedom from intrusion, their care
fully kept parks and leafy lanes, furnish
beautiful and comfortable place for little
human creatures to grow, and foster in
them healthy tastes for out-of-door amuse-
ments. Hence the English aristocrat has
good substratum of physical strength on
which to build his career if he is capable
of having one. Wherever the Englishman
goes he follows his instinct TO shut himself
and his family away from the world, to
live inside his garden wall and not on the
sidewalk; and this is fine thing. Perhaps
it is part of our English inheritance which
has caused this tendency toward the max
ing of country homes.
There are two or three reflections, how
ever, which may be profitable In this con-
lectlOn- II Is not always Meii W SoiiiPSi
the head of the household to endure solitary
and often uncomfortable life during the
hot months of the year, in a deserted home.
Sometimes he rather enjoys his untram-
meled existence, and sometimes he does
not; but, as a general thing, he does not
care to be regarded as a mere wage-earn-
ing machine. OF course, if the family con-
sists of the father and mother and two or
three young children, this separation is
often unavoidable, since the mother must
be with the little ones. But II a grand
mother or an aunt can be found to take
charge of the children for at least part of
the summer, while the mother and father
renew their early acquaintance and COM
radeship with one another, il is often very
good for all parties. Too many women
are prone 10 forget that they were ever
girls; too many are forced TO forget it.

A ROW OVER SIMPSONS SWORD
The Committee and Governor VOOr-
hecs in TanEle.


TRENTON, N j., Oct. 1.-THE award
that the legislature voted to Admiral Samp-
son last year has been the cause of great
row among the State authorities.
To begin with, the committee appointed
to select the design Of the sword started
out with the work without giving Governor
Voorhees, an opportunity to express his
views on the subject. Adjutant General
Stryker was so displeased at the action of
the committee that he refused 10 look at
the sword.
Then Senator Ketcham, chairman Of the
sword committee, has selected himself for
the post of chief spokesman on the day
when the presentation of the sword to Ad-
miral Sampson is to take place. October %.
Governor Voorhees, expected that he would
have that honor.

o. R. & N. Notice.

Commencing Monday March 27th, the
o. R. & N. will put on new schedule as
follows: The elegant and commodious
new steamer Spokane" will leave Lew
iston daily at 2:3o p. m. and arrive at
Riparia at 7 p. III. the same day. She
will leave Riparia at 2 O'Clock a. m. and
arrive at Lewiston at II O'Clock noon of
the same day. This boat will handle
passengers, express, and package freight
only. The Lewiston and Almota will
handle all car load and heavy freight,
and one or the other of these two boats
will probably reach Lewiston every day.
This will enable the o. r. & N. Co to
give Lewiston passenger service such
as they have never had, and will enable
passengers to leave Lewiston at 2:3o p.
M, and arrive at Portland at 7:3o O'Clock
the next morning, and to leave Portland
at 2:Io p. M, and arrive at Lewiston at
at noon Of the following day. With two
trains each way daily from Riparia, this
will also enable the public to make much
better connections to all local points, as
we'll as to make this the quickest route
east, either via Spokane or Huntington.

Seven Devils District.

The Seven Devils district is a great
mineral country, about SO miles in length
ana 90 miles wide, and contains great
mineral belt, carrying gold silver, cop
per, lead, asbestos, and alum. These are
minerals found in paying quantities, and
railroad near at hand would make this
the greatest country west of the Rocky
mountains. The district is new in pros
pectlng, and taking the Snake river slope,
there you will find the copper belt as far
as prospected, running 90 miles, with
large bodies of copper ore, CARRYING about
$40 in gold. Ill copper alone it beats
any country in the world
There are over 200 claims in this belt
that shows up good, and in the next 10
years 1t is mystery to tell how MANY
more will be discovered. Imagine a dis
trict SO miles long and 60 miles in width
and containing over 200 copper mines,
leaving out other minerals. What is this
state OF ldahe going to be? 1t is going to
DE, III rev years, the richest state in the
Union. Again, add about 200 more
mines of gold and silver, which run high
in these precious metals, all large lodges,
with railroad alongside Of and between
the mines, how can this country be kept
III the dark? 1t is impossible to keep it
back. There are two railroad SURVEYS in
this district-one from Huntington to
Lewiston, and one from Weiser to Lew
lston. These two surveys run through
belt over 200 miles in length
1t takes in the Seven Devils, Ruthburg,
and Mineral district. Ruthburg joins
the Seven Devils, and there you will find
large bodies of galena ore principally lead
with some silver. Some of these mines are
well developed; others are owned by
prospectors who only make their annual
acknowledgement Idaho Standard
