Sad Accident

Pleasure was turned to grief and Ollity
to horror last Tuesday night, upon the
occasion of the annual excursion Of the
Young Mems Institute Of Gonzaga
College. when a party of eight Young
people, rowing near kiver View, were
struck by the steamer Manchester and
one of the young men drowned. Those
remaining in the rowboat, whose panic
threatened every MON ent to throw them
all into the water, were taken of by
First Officer George Cook, pilot OF the
River View steamer Pentz. The Charles
Manchester, through a misunderstanding
did not lower any boats, a cry of go
ahead" from Cook, whose boat was in
danger from the backing steamer, being
mistaken by those on BOARD the Charles
Manchester for a signal that all was well
with the rowers. The Manchester Kept
on to the city, and her officers were not
aware that a man had been drowned
until they reached Washington.
Captain Blake OF the Manchester said
that accidents are avoided nearly every
night by only the narrowt st margins, as
rowboats carry no lights, and steamers
are on top of them before they are seen.
The crew Of the Manchester threw about
a dozen life preservers into the water,
fearing tn ose in the rowboat mightjumP

DEALERS CoMBIN NE.

The liquor dealers Of New York have
quietly perfected arran gements which
they hope will put the mlddlemen out
Of business.
Ii successful the scheme will save
millions annually to the saloon men OF
that city, and will force in the neighbor-
hood OF 3 900 drummers and wine agents
to seek other jobs.
For month past a committee OF the
New York dealers has been hardat work
upon the plan, and papers have been
filed al Albany for a wholesale wine and
liquor company capitalized at $500, 900.
In brief the new wine and liquor com
pany will be a great purchasing agent
for New York, 1t will buy direct from
the producers in great bulk, and will sell
at cost, plus expenses necessary at close
figuring to run the business.
Should the whlskey men refuse to sell
them their goods in an effort to protect
the middlemen they are prepared to
distil their own liquors Cigars will be
handled in the same way and millions
VIII be saved 10 the dealers OF New

CAnrERNs MUST BE LICENSED.

Judge Simonton, in the County Court,
at Harrisburg, Pa, last week decided
that an army canteen for the sale OF
liquor to soldiers cannot be carried on
without a regular license from the court.
This decision was made IN the case Of
two men who were arrestedon complaint
of the Anu Saloon League of the State
for maintaining a canteen at Camp
Meade.
Counsel for the defendants argued.that
they were acting under Instructions Of
the commandant OF the camp, who was
acting under authority Of Adjt. Gen,
Cotbin and military law. Judge SimC n.
ton said that he did not recognize such
a law when in conflict with the law of
the State; that the United States Gov.
ernment has no right to issue a license
to sell liquor IN the United States. He
directed the jury to find a verdict Of
guilty, and then suspended sentence.
At the same time he notified all con-
cerned that if there we're any more vio-
lations OF the law he would sentence
them all The commandant of the
camp promised that the canteen would
be suppressed.
It's improbable that the War Depart
ment will accept as final the decision OF
the Pennsylvania State court, declaring
that the army canteen IS snbject to State
taxation. The officer IN charge of the
cant, en- at Camp Meade appea aled to
the War Department for assistance in
defending the case, and the department.,
approving o his application, transmitted
it to the Department OF Justice with the
request that an officer of the department
be assigned for that purpose The
Court of Claims has decided that the
canteen is Zone of the instrumentalities
Of the Governments" and, therefore,
exempt from taxation

Head OF Syndicate. .

The new syndicate, controlling all OF
the street railroads of this city except
the Capital Traction Company's lines,
may have as its president Gen. Leonard
Wood, the present military governor of
the province OF Santiago, Cuba. This
announcement was made in New York
last Tuesday, where General Wood was
in consultation with the capitalists who
are interested financially in the uniting
of the local roads. General Wood was
invited by the members of the syndicate
to leave his post at Santiago and assume
the management of the company, and
this was his purpose, in part, at least it
is said, in coming to New York. He
would have to resign from the army to
enter upon the discharge Of his new
duties. The salary offered him is not
made public, but 1t is said to be very
lucrative AS Major General OF VoIun'
teers he received $500 yearly. His
salary in the regular army is about $3.50
General Wood is very well known in
Washington, where he maintained a
residence for many years. He was
a surgeon in the regular army at the
outbreak of the Spanish war, and when
Congress authorized the raising OF
three cavalry regiments, he, in company
with Gov Roosevelt, organized the
famous regiment known as the Rough
Riders. This regiment did valiant ser.
vice in the Santiago campaign. Cen
Wood was promoted during the cam
paign, and Gov. Roosevelt, who was
Lieuteeant Colonel, was placed in charge
of the command.

THE CoNsu option OF BEER

EXHIBIT OF BEVERAGES.

Preparations are being vigorously
pushed Tor the Agricultural Department
exhibit of beverages at the Paris Expo
sition next year. The space allotted is
generous, considering the enormous
demand from all countries, but 1t is not
so large as the Department desires. A
number of American exhibitors would
like to fill all the space with their indl-
vldual display, and it is necessary to
limit applicants.
1t Is hoped to have the majority of
this material ready for shipment in
December, and requests for representa-
tion are being received daily. So great
has been the demand for space that the
California wine growers while they will
be represented in the government
exhibit, have already engaged a house
outside the exposition grounds, where
California wines will be on exhibition
and ready for distribution by sample to
the foreign buyers,

He Fights the Crows.

The king bird. a most active and
pugnacious bird. may be found in
fields and along the roadsides. He is
commonly perched on a post or low
bough on the lookout for insects. His
sudden dart into the air or down to the
ground, followed by a return to the
post of observation. is extremely char
acteristic. Sometimes one may even
hear the click of the bill which an
nounces the fate of the unhappy insect.
He is with us from May until Septem-
Der.
The king bird owes his name to the
fact that he is the one small bird who
ventures to attack the marauding
crow, and that he always comes off
victorious. Rising above his foe, he
drops upon his back, attacking him
with beak and claws until the unlucky
intruder makes off In ludicrous con-
sternation. The hest is usually placed
at a moderate height on the horizontal
bough of a tree in the orchard or by
the wayside. Eggs are laid early in
June. The note is a sharp twitter, often
somewhat resembling that of the swal

than the following:
A little girl, not more than 8 years
old, was injured in such way that it
was necessary to amputate one of her
legs. She proved to be of wonderful
pluck, and instead of binding her, as
was customary in such cases, she was
given her most cherished doll to hold
] Pressing it In her arms, she submitted
to the amputation without single cry
When it was done, the physician in
charge, seeking to brighten matters uI
with a pleasantly, said, "And now, my
dear, we will amputate your dolls Leg
Then the little girl burst into tears.
"No, mop she gasped between heI
sobs. "You shall not! 1t would hur,
her too much!'

THE FEAR OF SOLITUDE.

woke at dawn and, risen from my bed,
Gazed at the born day and suave
Silver and gold and pearl overhead
Like sea shcli garnered from the wave,
And such faint music from the morning sped
AS mourners' singing by a distant grave.
Far out at beating vessel bore
Westward with scarce ,iiscoverable speed,
Creeping athWart a distant island shore
That traced outline family figreed
With creviced mountain whose low submits wore
cloudy chariot yoked with feecy steed.
At foot little hav lay Graded deep
Whereon the idle fishing feet was drawn,
No ripple hurt the waters quiet sleep
That lay peaceful a garden lawn;
The lighthouse at the harbor mouth did peep
A flashing eye of red upon the dawn.
No voice heard nor any certain sound,
Save when the hungry seagull cried awhile;
All hushed and lonely that | found
nameless fear in all this silent isle,
As though the very might rise and bound
And overwhelm me. Lo. his treacherous smile
Some men there be who glory in such case,
A mountain top mmutabie-a throne.
