Where's Hobson?

Hobson's case is little in the line OF
a mysterious disappearance. Since
his famous kissing trip across the con-
tinent to San Francisco on his way to
Manila he has vanished from public
view. Hobson's feat in sinking the
Merrimack made him one of the main
heroes of our war with Spain. But he
was young, hardly well enough bal
anced to stand the plaudits of the
people and when he yielded, perhaps
through politeness, to allow that first
young lady to kiss him his days as a
popular hero were numbered. After
one girl kissed there were others to
follow and poor Hobson did not resist
the temptation. Next came criticisms,
papers made HIM ridiculous and then
came his downfall. The holding of
public kissing bees in hotels and lee
ture halls was first class opportunity
for the caricatu1ist and the writer of
Jokes and Hobson suffered. 1t Is hard
to be a hero. He cannot be too dig
nifed or too reserved or too bold. A
medium is required, such a stand as
Dewey and Clark have taken, and the
events of the past year have given us
only one Dewey and only one Clark.

OUARRYING EMERY.
in the Classic Island of
NaXOs.

Emery comes from the island of
NaXos, in the eastern Mediterranean,
whence it has been exported for the
last two centuries or more. The beds
are in the northeast of the island, the
deposits descending into some of the
neighboring islands, the emery being
found in lenticular masses, resting on
layers of sohist in limestone, almost
identical with Parian marble, the finest
marble known, which comes from the
island of Paros, close by, says Ironmon-
gerry.
There are about 300 men engaged in
the trade, all of whom have to be mar
ried before they are admitted to the fra
ternity. The material is much too hard
to be dug out or even blasted. Great
fires are lighted around the blocks till
the natural cracks expand with the
heat, and levers are then inserted to pry
them apart. This system is continued
until the blocks are reduced in size to
masses of a cubic foot or less, and they
are then shipped as if they were coal.
There are said to be 100000 tons vet
available at Naxos, and the last report
ed years export wastS,95O tons. 1t is
one of the hardest substances known.

ORIGIN OF MENU CARDS.
Duke Henry of Brunswick Was the
First Person on Record to
Use Them.

1t was Duke Henry of Brunswick who
was first observed, in the intervals of a
banquet to scan carefully long strip
of paper by the side of his plate, and
when the curious guests ventured to in
quire into the nature of his studies he
explained that it was a sort of pro-
gramme of the dishes which he had
commanded from the cook, to the in
tent that if some delicacy which espe-
cially appealed to him were marked for
u late stage in the repast he might care
fully reserve his appetite for it, says the
Philadelphia Inquirer.
The simplicity and excellence of the
idea instantly appealed to the good
dukes guests, and the menu card from
that moment became an institution. In
it's old-fashioned form the bill was
usually written large on cards of such
dimensions that room for only one
could be found at each board. This was
in 1900, and this aid to selection must
have been boon, for the medieval din
ner was mine of surprises. 1t was di-
yided into courses; whereas nowadays
the diner has a general idea that fish
viii follow soup, and that the cntree
will be succeeded by roast or its equiv
alent, there was no knowing what was
going to happen at an early English
dinner, or in what order it would be
served.

Chief Justice Field Dead.

Hon. Walbridge A. Field, chief JUS
tice of the supreme judicial court OF
Massachusetts, died Saturday at his
home in Boston. Justice Field was
born in Springfield, Vt, April 26, 1888.
He was a typical New Highlander, born
and reared among the green hills OF
Vermont. At the age of twenty-five
he graduated from Dartmouth with
distinguished honors, and for the next
two years he was tutor in that insti-
tuition. He then studied law at the
Harvard Law School and was admitted
to the bar in 1860. In 1865 he was sue
cessively appointed assistant United
S ates district attorney. for Massachu-
settS and assistant attorney general of
the United States. He returned to
his old place in Boston in 1870 where
he remained until 1875 when he was
elected to Congress. There was a con-
test over his seat and March 2S, 1877, a
Democratic Congress gave it to Mr..
Dean. He was returned at the next
congressional election and urged to
run again but declined. Gov. Long
appointed him to the bench of the SUI
preme court in 1881.
Chief Justice Field was not a CON-
manding figure and there was nothing
in his manner or looks to attract par
ticular attention. A well-shaped head,
though, indicated the strength of CHI ar
acter and intellectual ability he pos
sessed. He had retiring, modest dis
position and was sometimes abrupt,
brusque, even harsh in his manner.
Personally he was less known than
many whose regulations are of a lesser
span. He was a man of ideas, and was
particularly we'll booked on the subject
of cranks. He said once that this
country had more cranks to the square
inch than any other civilized country
in the world, and that one half of them
should be in the insane asylum.

Felchville's New Library.

A splendid new library building, the
gift of Hon. Gilbert A. DAVIS of Wind
sor, was dedicated at Felchville july
4. The building is of brick, 2Sx4O
feet. in the form of cross with an
ample porch in front. The book room
is provided with abundant shelving
The interior is so arranged that, by
means of folding doors, the space can
be thrown into one or three rooms.
The orator of the day was Hon. Frank
Plumley of Mortified whose theme
was ''The value of a public library
In thus remembering his native town
Mr.. Davis has won the gratitude of all
its residents. In the address of &C
ceptance he was thanked for his gem
crosby. The address also contained
these words: May the donor of this
beautiful building live for many years
to see the influence of his noble gift to
this town spread far and wide, increas-
ing the educational standard of the
young, especially as they mature to
adult life"

Funston on the Filipino.

''Bullet-headed Asiatic ruflians" is
the polite way Gen. Funston refers to
the members of the Filipino army
The daring deeds of Funston have
been proclaimed far and wide
Though young he has won the title of
Major General. He is a born fighter.
Before the war with Spain was de-
clared he was in Cuba giving his aid
to the people of that island in their
struggle for liberty. The war with
Spain over he went to the Philippines
and has been in the thick of the fight
ing there, always ready for the most
dangerous work. 'On general princi-
ples," Funston says, Il am not an ex-
pansionist but believe that since an
unfortunate train of circumstances
has thrown US into this thing we should
stay with it to the bitter end and raw
hide these bullet headed Asiatic ruff
fans until they yell for mercy" AT
ter the war is over he wants a posi-
ton as professor of American history
in the Luzon University, when there is
such an institution, being willing to
guarantee that the new generations of
Fllipinos will know better than to
follow the example of their fathers
and get in the way of the band wagon
of Anglo Saxon progress and decency.

didates.

Two Orange county men have been
mentioned as available candidates for
governor of this state. In years past
Gen. w. H. Gilmore of Fairlee has been
regarded as gubernatiorial possibility.
During the years he has served his
state as quartermaster general he has
won reputation for the efficient per-
Torrance of his duties and made
friends of all with whom he has come
in contact. If the time comes when
it is necessary for him to say he will
or will not be a candidate his many
friends hope his good Judgement will
lead him to reply in the affirmative.
Hon. Horace w. Bailey has been men
toned as a good man for governor or
lieutenant governor. Mr.. Bailey is
prominent in republican politics in
Vermont and possesses the necessary
ability to fill the first position with
credit to his, state. These men may
not be selected for the position but
Orange county takes pride in having
outsiders consider them fit men upon
whom to bestow the honor.

QUARTER OF A CENT.
An Estimate Expert, Preeminent in
His Department., Commands
Big Salary.

But all the high salaries do not go to
managers, says Ainslee's Magazine, in
an article on THE Big Salaries of New
York; An expert who is preeminent
in his own department sometimes earns
a salary that seems fabulous. In indus
tries where profits are calculated in
fractions of cent on each pound of a
commodity produced, the value of an
expert who is as nearly as possible in
fallible in his calculations can hardly
be estimated. In the case of sugar re-
fning this is particularly true. Even
though Mr.. lIavemeyer once said testify
to an investigating committee that was
questioning him about an increase of
quarter of a cent a pound on sugar:
Who cares for a quarter of a cent?"
it is a fact that one of his highest-sal-
aried employees is his expert chemist, j.
o. Bonner, who is reputed to be able to
estimate the value of different methods
of refining sugar even unto the third
and fourth place of decimals. But the
ability to make such estimates is not
the sole value of such an expert. In or
der to command the highest salary he
must be able to suggest improvements
on existing methods and develop posi-
bilities that would never occur to the
ordinary expert who might be his equal
in making cumulative analysis.

IN GALICIA.
A Country Where the Men and Boys
Are StriIxingIy Handsome and
Picturesque.

The men and boys were striltingly
handsome, with straight features, dark
eyes and hair cut across the forehead
and falling on the neck behind, like a
Velasquez portrait, says Blacllwood's.
The garments they wore, too, were not
only comfortable and sanitary, but
amazingly satisfying to the eye. The
groundwork, so to speak, for both men
and women, was rough, homespun
linen which lay bleaching in narrow
lengths beside the river. The mems
trousers were stuffed into high black
or yellow boots and their shirts were
embroidered on the sleeves in blue and
red or black, and confined at the waist
by broad leathern girdles, much orna-
mented with brass. The women wore
long garments, like the mems shirts,
coming down to their ankles and COW
cred behind and before by a pair of
voluminous aprons, made of ruddy,
striped wooden stuff, more or less bril-
liant in hue.
Both sexes and all ages, down even
to babies in arms, have short, sleeveless,
sheepskin coats, usually open in front.
The skin side is embroidered in vary
ing designs, more or less elaborate, car
ried out chiefly in red wool and green
and red leather. When 1t is fine the en-
broidered side is exposed; when it is
wet the woolly one appears. These kip
tars are very light, very warm, and yet.
being sleeveless, they are never stulfy.

WAS A REMARKA ABLE TRIP
Took 16 Girls to Montana to Get
Married.
IN THE EARLY RIVER DAYS

perienoe in 1896 Why the Wolves
Left the Country-A Buffalo
Stampede.

'I made a remarkable trip on the Mis-
souri, once said Captain William r
Massie, now one of the pilots of the
steamer Grey Eagle, who was one of the
pioneer steamboatmen on the Upper Mis-
souri, river, in conversation with a Globe
Democrat representative. 1T was on the
steamer Twilight in 1865. The boat was
owned by Captain Joseph Kinney, John
Keiser and Henry Mcpherson. We had
on board 16 young women, who were on
the way to Montana to meet and marry
their lovers, who had engaged in business
at the trading posts along the Upper Mis-
souri, Some of the men had been there
for years. Some were the sons of rich
men in St. Louis, who had been set up in
business there. When we got above the
mouth Of the Yellowstone the men met us,
having come down the river on a tiatboat.
accompanied by a number or men who
had families on the boat, and many of
whom had not seen their wives and chill
dren for years. The scene that ensued
when they got aboard the boat was abso-
lutely indescribable. Husbands, wives
and sweethearts met. Such sight l new
err witnessed before or since. That even
ing we had Is weddings aboard that boat.
They had a minister with them, and the
ceremony. which was a very brief one,
was performed for each couple in success
sion. No legal documents were necessary,
but many of the couples were married
ever again when they reached their homes
TO be sure that they We're properly mar
ried.
THE trip had been an, eventful one all
the way from st. Louis and many sad
features were connected with it. We had
all kinds of sickness on the boat, and
several deaths. The first person we bur
led was a Miss Baker. and the grave was
marked that the remains might be re-
moved afterward If the family desired

take a full supply of meat along from St

killed as soon as the supply was used up,
and this lasted until we got into the game
country. When We got into the upper
river the ladies took to fishing in the
evenings. They would go out every night
and they made some fine catches, getting
fish enough to supply the boat, but we
could shoot deer almost whenever we
wanted one.
THE trip ended at Fort Benton. When
we reached the mouth of the Marias

AMONG RAILROAD MEN
Great Northern Wants the Rates
Withdrawn.
THE BLUFF WAS CALLED
Another Effort to Bring the Engineers
Into the Ranks OF the Order OF
Railway Men-The Por-
ters Side of 1t.

The Great Northern is reported to
have made overtures to the Northern
Pacific and 500 roads, says the Mime
apolis Times, in the hope of having
them join 1t in withdrawing low sum-
mer rates to trans Missouri points. The
rates have been in force since the mid
die of March. They were put in by the
Great Northern ostensibly in the inter-
ests of homeseekers. The hubbub which
they caused was not confined solely to
the three northern coast roads. In
tluences were brought to bear to have
the rates withdrawn and southern roads
had hand in the matter.
But as the Great Northern claimed to
be sincere, it was taken up by the 500
and Northern Pacific. After proper
pressure had been exerted on the road
and there were understood to be signs
Of weakening, the Northern Pacific and
500 announced that they We're willing
to make the same rate to local Western
points and would be guided by the sug-
gestions of the Great Northern. The
bluff of the latter was called and the
rates have continued in force through
out the summer
During the past few days, however
the Great Northern has approached
passenger officials of other coast lines
and asked if they were not willing to
restore the rates to the former mark.
The Great Northern said this would APP
ply only to local rates, such as Dakota
and Montana points, and was willing
to have the present coast rates remain
as they are. But the other lines are de-
termined that the Great Northern will
receive its full share of opportunity to
experiment with bluffing measures, and
so far have refused to listen to the over
lures.
1t is said that another effort will be
made to bring the national organization
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers into the ranks of the Internation-
al Order of Railway Men. The interna-
tional organization was effected two
years ago in this city. the Brotherhood
of Railway Trainmen. the Order of
Railway Conductors, the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and the Order
of Railroad Photographers becoming
members. At that time an effort was
made to get the engineers into the fold,
but the men who handle the throttle
did not crown the effort There was a
general feeling that the ENGINEERS would
realize the strength of the major or
CARNATIONS too keenly to remain out of
1t. At that time, however, it was agreed
that the action taken was not to be
final. 1t was decided to give the matter
further consideration.
There is on foot now movement to
bring about this reconsideration. Meet
| ings, in which the engineers are to par
ticipate, are being called in various
