THE RIPPING RIVER OF RHYME.

From the beautiful mountains of Make

Througb the fruitful Valley of Dreams,
Where the baossoming shore slopes lower

And Is lost in the tide that CLEANS,
Flows the wonderful river that winds its

With song that is all sublime,
AS 1t glimmers in glory and tells sweet

Would you wander away on this wonderful

And along on its surface glide?

You will sail in dream on the slumberous

MARCONrS COHERER.
Wireless Telegraphy Improved at
American Hands

PITTSBURG. Pa, Dec. 17.-Bold re-
searches by Professor Reginald Fessen-
den and his assistant, Professor kitner,
in the electrical laboratory of the
Western University of Pennsylvania,
have resulted in the production of
receiver for wireless biography that is
1000 times more sensitive than the So
called "coherer" of the Marconl sys-
tenn.
In speaking of the discovery today
Professor Fessenden said: Although
we have improved the receiver so that
il is 1000 times as sensitive as the
original one, we realize that we have
not yet begun to see the limit. Mar
conf. in his brilliant experiments, has
demonstrated that messages can be
sent over ninety miles. AS our recelV-
er is several hundred times more sem
sitive. il is clear that the messages can
be sent by our method very much tar

Body Reaches Manila.

MANILA Dec. 20.-Major General
Lawton's body was brought from San
Mateo to Manila this afternoon, his
staff and a squadron of cavalry acting
as escort. 1t was found necessary to
bridge the river.
The funeral will take place from his
late residence here. a mansion former
ly occupied by a Spanish general The
body has been placed temporarily in a
vault in FL Pace cemetery, where many
of the American soldiers have been in
TERED, and guard of honor will be
maintained. When Mrs. LawtOn and
her four children shall have completed
their arrangements for returning to
the United States the remains will be
taken on transport with an escort of
officers for final interment, as it is
thought probable here, in Arlington
Cemetery.
General Lawtons death has caused
universal sorrow in Manila. No Amer
lean officer had greater popularity
among all ranks, and in his dealings
with the natives he commanded their
respect and confidence to remarkable
degree. The Mayors whom he installed
in the neighboring towns are arrang-
ing to attend the funeral in a body
To Lawton'S executive ability and
personal leadership is chiefly due the
brilliant execution of the plan of cam
paign in North Luzon, which has scat
tered the insurgents from San Isidro
to the Gulf of Lingayen. That section
of the island, which had to be tray-
ersed during the very worst season of
the year, presented difficulties cOn6id-
cred by all acquainted with it to be
almost inSurmountable, but General
Lawton thoroughly covered the pro-
gram assigned him. When he reached
Tayug and found that the other divis-
ion had not arrived, he went through
to Dagupan on his own responsibility.
Although he imposed great hardships
upon his men, he invariably shared
their lot cheerfully.
Thirteen Americans. including three
officers, were wounded in the engage
ment at San Mateo, where General
Lawton was killed. Captain Brecken-
ridges wound is not considered dan
gerous, although the bullet penetrated
his arm and side.
1t is estimated that the insurgents
numbered 500, and that half of them
were armed with rifles. The Ameri-
cans numbered 1900, but the command
had been much depleted by sickness.
The wagon train found the roads i'm
passabla and was obliged to return.
The insurgents retreated to the
northeast, leaving six dead. They
have other forces near Taytay. This
region, although close to Manila, has
proved the most difficult from which to
dislodge the enemy 1t is now report
ed that the insurgents intend to con-
centrate at Santa Cruz, Laguna prov
ince. and in the district east Of La
guna de Bal.

A BUILDER OF CASTLES
A Graduation Essay by Mary
Elizabeth MacLane.
CHARLES DICKENS WORK
An Interesting Paper on Virgil and
Dante by Annie Blanche Knowlton.
"Germany's Contribution to
Civilization" Miss Conway.

Three very interesting subjects were
discussed by as many graduates in the
high school auditorium yesterday aft
ernoon before large audience of pu-
pills, teachers, friends and parents.
Miss Annie Blanche Knowlton spoke
of Italy>s contribution to civilization
and literature, of the works of Virgil
and Dante; Miss Alice Conway dis
coursed upon the progress of Germany
in matters educational, the slow pro-
cess of civilization and the results at
tanned by the empire of the kaisers;
Miss Mary MacLane told in beautiful
lines of her estimate of Charles Dick
ems, the king of all builders Of cas-
ties. She spoke of his writings as fol-
lows:
out from among the beautiful green
valleys of old England many years ago
there began to rise a wonderful vine
covered castle. Year by year it was
builded and added to, and in the lofty
turrets and towers We're hung must
cal bells which rang out wildly joyous
to the multitudes. Softly the vines
crept over the lattices, windows and up
the gray walls; happily grew the elms
and the benign Balm O. Gieads until
there was forest round about the
castle; in truth it was the most beau
tiful castle in all Merrie England and
was the haven of the tired souls of
men, So it was when it was begun
and so it is to-day.
This wonderful vine-covered castle
is nothing less than the great monu-
ment of English literature built by
the authors of England. There are
castles in other lands, but there is none
so Vne-clad, none so wooded, so JOY
full as the well-loved old castle in Mer-
RE England. It's builders are held in
reverence by the Britains and their
names are craven broadcast in the
land-the names Wordsworth and Dry
den, Spencer, Thackeray, Shakespeare,
Johnson and all.
But the best name among them is
| that of Charles Dickens, the writer for
| the multitudes. He has written for
| the people of their own lives, of their
| own passions; his soul has gone out
| in love for them in his volumes; and
| more then these, he has portrayed the
children of earth in the light of their
| own fair realm--that of the wise, the
| triumphant.
What peace must there have been
for Charles Dickens when he knew that
| through the children of his stories he
| made lives more merciful. *
J For they will have as their own. little
! Oliver with his faith: little David with
| his sad little story; poor little 10, dead
but never so happy; Tiny Tim with his

Joseph Skaters Attorneys Are

An Error in Instructions Alleged-Jane

The statement on motion for new
trial for Joseph Shafer, who has been
twice convicted of murder in the first
degree for killing John Hawkins. has
been completed and was filed in court
yesterday. Skaters attorneys are con-
fident of being able to get the colored
murderer another trial because the
court in instructng the jury, failed to
instruct them on second degree MUIR
der. The bill of exceptions assigns a
number of errors, but the one, and
probably the only one, that will be re-
lied on, is the failure to instruct the
jury on the question of murder in the
second degree. which was a clear piece
of oversight 1t is alleged also that the
court erred in admitting any evidence
under the information on the ground
that it had not been legally filed and
that the defendant was not given
preliminary examination. and that an
error was committed in admitting evil
dence regarding a previous trouble be-

An Interview With Patrick Flynn-No

Patrick Flynn is in the city from the
Occur d'Alenes, which place he left at
$40 o'clock Thursday morning. Mr.
Flynn has been in the Occur d'Alene
country since 1883, at which time there
were only 10 men there. He has been
there continuously ever since and only
three men are entitled to be called older
Occur dAlene men than he is. He
bonded a prospect a year ago for
$250,000. and the first payment was
made at that time. The second pay
ment was due on May 1 last but owing
to the recent troubles in the country
1t was not made. A Standard reporter
inquired of Mr.. Flynn the situation in

them not. They fail to reach the depth
of human feeling; but so long as man

Miss Conway, speaking of Germany's
contribution to civilization, said:
Emerson says: THE true test of civ
ilzation is not the census nor the size
of the cities, not the military corps, but
the kind of men the country turns out"
Civilization is very slow process In
the civilization of the Germans it occu-
pied nearly the whole of a thousand
years.
The world is the richer in art, science
literature, schools and religion because
of the Germans. The colleges and uni
versities of Germany are surpassed by
none. True education is the drawing
out of and development of all the hui
man faculties and the preparation of
the man or woman for the duties and
responsibilities of life.
People educated highly in other coun-
tries go to Germany to complete their
education. The literature of Germany
will be- known to the people of every
nation as long as the names of Goethe,
Schiller. Leasing and Heine survive,
| The drama of Germany is dependent
on the names of Goethe, Schiller and
Leasing. They filled all Germany, and
indeed all Europe, with their tragic
fame and their names. 'Posterity will
not willingly let die"
The Germans stand for liberty, for
the noblest ambition of humanity, for
peace throughout the world and for
the dignity and honor and protection OF
all who love liberty and equality, and
claim the sheltering protection which
they have always given.
As civilization advances more and the
human mind makes progress, so will
all the powers of Germany be strength
ened, and all her faculties be enlarged.
