OPEN COMPETITION.
Bids to Be Invited for Raising the
Maine and Cristobal Colon.


A special from Washington says
Secretary Long will soon issue adver-
tisements calling for proposals for
raising the Maine and the Cristobal
Colon, in accordance with the deci-
sion of the board of construction, to
which the matter has been referred.
The board has under consideration
several propositions from engineers
and wrecking companies, presenting
feasible schemes for raising the YES
sells and delivering them to the New
York or the Norfolk navy yards, with
out involving the government in any
expense, unless their efforts were sue
ceSsful.
1t was, however, impossible to make
any selection from the proposals, and
in view of the fact that so many con-
tractors of apparent trustworthiness
were willing to put their confidence to
the test in attempting to raise the YES
sells and running the risk of failure,
the members of the board agreed that
it would be advisable to have an open
competition and award the work to
the bidder who would be willing to ac-
cept the most reasonable suggestion
by the board. Bidders will be Informed
that they must furnish to the Navy
Department satisfactory bonds in such
amount that the government will be
fully protected against loss through
incompetency or carelessnesS.

Hypnotism is still the subject of sell
entific experiment in France, especially
in the Salpetriere and Nancy schools.
DR.. Rene Potelet in recent interview
holds that it is impossible to hypnOtize
an unwilling subject, and that women
are much more easily influenced by
hypnotic suggestion that men because
a majority Of them suffer either from
hysteria or neurasthenia, while among
men three in ten are hysterical. DR..
Potelet's experiments are interesting
as q study in what may be called the
morals of hypnotism. Among other
facts he has demonstrated that as a
rule patient after having been hypno-
tized once or twice has a great liking
for the person who thus influences her
and will readily do his bidding unless
he suggests something to which her in
stincts or education objects. He also
thinks that in case thes patient has q
dislike to person that dislike may be
cultivated by the experimenter until
she is willing, for instance, to write a
will or even to commit murder at his
dictation. In this opinion DR.. Korner
also comedies. In view of these dec
larations and the possibilities they
open up the subject of hypnotism will
probably soon demand the attention of
lawmakers, especially in France.

The latest reports from Dawson
City, the new mining camp in the
Greenhorn mountains, near CANYON
City, Colorado, indicate that the rich
GOLD ore found on the Copper King
claim by the Dawson brothers came
from a small pocket. Experts are of
the opinion that copper mine may be
opened on the claim, but do not ex-
pect that gold bonanza will be found
there. However, other discoveries of
free gold in the neighborhood are re-
ported and the town is growing rap
idly. The report that silvanite ore.
rich In gold, had been found in the
Colorado Springs water tunnel that is
being driven through Pixies Peak, is
denied by Delos Durfee, the city's en-
gineer on the ground.

Papered with Postage Stamps.

There have been numerous rooms pa
pered with stamps, but that of j. w.
Palmer, a well-known London stamp
dealer and forgery fighter, is the most
remarkable. The room is now called a
museum" and the stamps" on the
wall are all forgeries and reprints. to
the number of seventy thousand,
which, if genuine, would be worth one
million pounds.
Another odd collection is that of a
lady living in New York. The stamps
cover every portion of bedroom set,
consisting of bedstead, dresser, COM
mode and chairs. They are secured to
the set. with the aid of glue, and then
covered with heavy spar varnish. They
can be washed, in their present eondi-
ton, without injury. The beginning of
this strange collection dates back many
years. The first chair Of the set that
was decorated was owned by colored
family in Virginia in the middle Of the
last century. Gradually the chair pass
ed from hand to hand until it came into
the possession of its present owner.
There are nearly two millions of stamps
in the collection, which constantly in
creases in value, as Its possessor is con-
tinually adding to the pieces Of her
unique set.

The obvious purpose Of the Episcopal
Church is to discourage divorce in the
hope that greater discretion will be
shown in choosing husbands and wives
and in the belief that married people
will be the more faithful to their mar
riage vows IL the remedy of divorce Is
surrounded by severe restrictions and
the opportunity to remarry is stringent
ly limited. Right-minded people will
agree that these are worthy objects,
while the subject plainly presents many
serious difficulties in the way of prac-
tical settlement. The sentiment in ia
yor Of the adoption Of vigorous provis-
Ions on this subject is steadily growing
In the church, and it is to be hoped that
this growth is indicative of similarly
increasing sentiment outside Of the de-
nominational lines.

The officers of foreign missionary SO.

The officers of foreign missionary So
cieties look for new opportunities of
religious work as enc result of. the re-
cent war. Through lack of mutual un-
derstanding, 1t has sometimes happen
ed that one missionary organization has
entered field already occupied by an
other. Such proceeding involves a
waste Of energy, and sometimes leads
to unpleasant differences. To avoid
anything Of this kind, conference was
recently held Of the secretaries Of for
eign missionary societies of Protestant
denominations to consider the wisest
distribution of work in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the Philippine and Caroline
Islands. The purpose of the conference
was to enable each society to assume re-
sponsibility for certain parts of the ter
ritory, and to arrange for certain
measure Of cooperation. For instance,
1t Is intended that there shall be kind
Of bureau of information, to study the
conditions which exist and to commu-
nicate to each society the facts which It
needs to know for the most effective
work In it's chosen field. 1t was found
that seven mission boards are ready to
engage in work In Cuba, three in Porto
Rico, three In the Philippine Islands
and one, the American Board, wishes to

resume its work in the Caroline Islands
ut the earliest opportunity. The Pres
byterians, Baptists and Methodists-
North and South; the Congregational
lists, United Brethren, Episcopalians
and Friends are represented in this
movement. 1t Is assumed that what
ever form Of government may be estab-
lished in the islands hitherto under the
sovereignty of Spain, religious liberty
will be guaranteed, and it is intended
that the preaching of the Gospel Of
peace shall follow as quickly and as
widely as possible the distressing raw"
ages Of war.

No more than any other citizen will
the American forest owner or lumber
man "sin against light" in the conduct
of his business when It has been fairly
brought home to his convictions that
the methods he has heretofore pursued
are not only detrimental to the broad
est interests of the. country, but are
certain, If continued, to place his call
ing on the list Of things that were. He
needs but to be satisfied on these
points, and to have better methods ex-
hibited as both practicable and profit
able, to induce the general adoption Of
such methods. Through newspaper
articles, pamphlets and lectures he has
already become fairly conversant with
the evils of prevailing methods in
using, or rather misusing, our forests.
What is now needed Is the spread Of
minute and correct information as to
the practical application Of scientific
forestry. 1t is wise step, therefore,
that just taken by the national forestry
bureau, in offering to send free Of
charge to all owners Of timber lands
and wood lots book of instructions
as to the best methods Of harvesting a
forest crop. Further than this, it will,
so far as the funds of the department
will permit, furnish to every owner or
standing timber or wood lots, working
plans for the harvesting of his particu-
lar tract or tracts. Owners of small
tracts will receive assistance without
cost. Owners Of large tracts, involving
difficult problems Of working, will
share in the expense of the solution Of
these problems. A government agent
Is sent on application to look over the
tract of woodH or timber. He examines
the tract, shows how the merchantable
timber may best be handled or preserv-
ed, and how the cut-over portions can
best be reforested. A person wishing
to take advantage Of this offer. by the
Government can do so by applying to
Clifford Pinchot, forester, Department
of Agriculture, Washington. D. c."
There can be little doubt that the des
mand for the intelligent guidance thus
offered will be large. And it is signifi-
cant that the advance of forestry to the
position Of scientific calling is draw
ing "back to the soil," as it were, no
small proportion Of the intellectual
youth of the country, whose oppOrtuni-
ties have heretofore been largely con-
strued as limited to the professions Of
law, medicine and divinity. Clifford
Pinchot, who has succeeded Prof. Fer
now as forester in the Department Of
Agriculture, is a graduate of Yale, and
many other graduates of that and 9TH
er universities are enthusiastically
pressing into the openings afforded
by the awakening Of the nation to the
imnortance of forestry

The BREW OF. OLYMPUS.

THE "HOFFMAN," corner of Hotel

Banner" resort for gentlemen and holds
the flag. L. H. Dee, the proprietor, has
attained success in his line, by specially
supervising everything connected with his
establishment. He now introduces to his
patrons Olympia Beer" This brew Is
from the "Capital Brewing Co." of
Olympia, the capital of the State of
Washington, and was received by the
"Garonne. Mr.. Schmidt, the leading
spirit of this corporation Is a practical
Chemist and Brewer, and after years Of
search and investigation located his plant
at Olympia, on account of the peculiar vir-
tues Of the water of the Tum Falls, a
stream that Is noted for its distinctive qua.
lities of clearness, coldness and lack Of
mineral and deeaying vegetable impurities.
Pure beer can only be made with pure
water, and Tum water is traditional in
Washington with the Indians and original
white settlers. The "Olympia Draught"
IS under the special control and agency Of
M. Dee and he invites his patrons and
friends to personal test and Is willing to
abide by their judgment on the merits Of
his latest venture.
