There operations are said to have
been extensive. The prisoners admit
having representatives in nearly every
state throughout the west, while they
declare they have gold. silver and lead
mines in Kansas and Wyoming. For
several weeks Chief P~Ostofice Inspector
Dice has received hundreds of inquiries
concerning the mining corporation
from colored persons.
Note-This company was incorpo-
rated in 1896 in Wyoming by Edmonds
and Watson. Subsequently, Secretary
Chattcrton received a large number of
letters from colored publishers in the
south. inquiring as to property and
standing of company in this state. This
led to an investigation, and all werO
notified that the company owned no
property in this state so far as known.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Twenty-Five Years Constant Use With,

The first indication of Group is
~hoarseness, and in a child subject to

sign of the approach of an attack.
Following this hoarseness is a pecul-

Cough Remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after
the croupy cough appears, 1t will pre-
vent the attack. 1t Is used in many

The number of students who will
graduate from the university this year
has made it impossible to keep up the
custom which has been observed hith-
erto, namely that of having each mem
Der of the senior class at the time Of
graduation deliver an Grafton. Pie
faculty has therefore recently institut-
ed a new rule regarding all orations
which will be given in the future. The
object of the rule is to have one student
from each of the different classes, nor
NAL, classical, scientific, literary, me-
chanical, and mining, represent his de-
partment on commencement night.
But where there are several students
in one department it is necessary to
have some way of choosing between
them. This choice will be made by
grades given on the orations. Each
senior will, as heretofore, deliver an
Grafton at the end of the first and sec
ond terms and will be graded by the
faculty on the delivery of these. Each
member of the senior class will also be
required to write a final Grafton and
will receive a mark on the literary mer-
it of this. The grades received on the
three orations will then be averaged
and the student in each department re-
ceiving the highest mark will have the
honor of delivering his Grafton COM
mencement night. 1t is needless to
say that all the students will strive for
this honor and hope to be the one to
gain it.

in photography always arouse great in,

At the meeting of the board of trus-
tees Monday afternoon, 1t was decided
that the university building should be
kept heated on Saturday and Sunday.
This will enable the library to be kept
open Saturday. which will be of the ut,
most advantage to the professors and
students as they will thus be able to
make more use of the books and maya
zines than they can find time to during
school hours. 1t is probable that the
library and reading room will be open
from 9 to 70 Saturday morning. but will
be closed in the afternoon. A rule has
been passed this year which forbids any
one to take the periodicals and maya
zines from the library, Dut all car have
easy access to them there.

Now that the university building is
to be heated on Sunday it will be quite
possible to have vesper services on that
afternoon. These services will be held
in the university auditorium and it is
purposed to have them mostly musical,
with perhaps an address by some one
who is interested in the work of the
students. 1t is hoped that a week from
this Sunday the first service can be
held. The students are not compelled
to attend these exercises, but it is hop
ed that they all will do so and by thus
taking an interest in them make them
entertaining to all who attend them.

gested in assembly yesterday afternoon
that he thought we could do the SEN

This is hard on them, but perhaps they

Camille Flammarion. the eminent French
astronomer, who has all his life been a
firm believer in spiritualism. has publicly
announced that he repudiates his belief in
spiritual manifestations as emanatng
from the spirit world. He has long been
in communication with the spirit Of Gale
lia as he fondiy believed. and acquired
mical knowledge from the ghost OF the
great astronomer. Among other things
the spirit OF Gal!iieo assured him that
Jupiter had four moons and Saturn eight.
Modern instruments have shown Jupiter
20 have not four but five moons. ana
Saturn nine Fiammarion refused to be-
lieve the truth until confirmed by his own
eyes and then promptly acknowledged that
he had deceived himself He says: 'sYou
must understand, however, that 1 do
not renounce all belief in spiritual
manifestations. the existence of which has
been proved beyond doubt. have simply
reached the conclusion that such manifes-
tations cannot be attributed 10 the spirits

power to throw a part Of our spirit out

The observations OF one Canadian

ter The visiting journalist was here

will not resist the temptation to sug-
gest that the reason for the former may
be found in the latter: but it is fair to
add that our keen Canadian critic heard
services In only one church. He wa
simply unfortunate in his selection.
II may be admitted that Seattle is not
given to strict Sunday observance. Sun
day Ia here a holiday. 1t is given u.
largely TO entertainment, recreation and
rest. 1t il not greatly different In that
w
cities, and morally 1t Is no better or no
worse The reasons for this departure
from sacred biblical precept are COM
pick and are an illustration OF. as we'll
as a vital factor in. the whole character
Of our American civilization. In Can
ada. the Sabbath is scrupulously OBJ
served. and amusements, sports and
other worldly entertainment set apart
for Saturday half holiday. In the
western part of the United States Sun
day is devoted in large part to these
necessary recreations. 1t may be para
doxical to say II, but there Is much
truth In 1t. that In the one instance
games and holiday amusements take
place on Saturday simply because the
Canadians will not tolerate them on
Sunday: and in the other they invade
the Sabbath because the controlling
commercial spirit and strenuous life OF
the American people will not tolerate
them on any other day. They take too
much time from business. The irrs-
pressibie love of sport, robust diversion
and healthful excitement are stronger in
most men than religious sentiment, and
in any conflict between the two, the lat
ter must succumb.
The Post-Intelligencer. let Ii be re-
membered is not defending Sabbath
Dissertation. nor declaring that the
American ways are better In this re-
gard than Canadian. 1t is simply In
dicating the facts.

criticised the action OF his superiors.

San Francisco should not be designated

OF the troops is supreme. The climate
Of that city during the summer months
in the most treacherous and dangerous
on earth. Suitable locations for an en-
campment do not exist. owing to the
damp character OF the sandy soil and
unavoidable exposure to the daily fogs
and fierce breexes. The exact figures
have never been printed. but the state
ment was publicly made in California
a year since, that the death roll Of SOL
diers detained there on their way TO the
Philippines was nearly 108 due wholly
TO disease-breeding climate and unsani-
tary environment.
We heard too much last year OF the
horrors OF Montauk point. but We did
not hear enough OF the shocking dis
regard for the physical welfare Of our
brave regiments at San Francisco. No
satisfactory explanation has ever been
given as to why certain encampment
sites were selected on the cherries, un-
comfortable, death-breeding sands in
stead Of the healthful and comfortable
locations across the bay at Oakland or
Alameda: nor have We ever heard any
sufficient reason why the superior
merits OF Puget sound and Columbia
river ports as points Of embarkation
were Professionally ignored by the war
department. Are the shocking scenes OF
1898 to be repeated?
