New County Buildings.

The Stephen Leader last week has
the following to say regarding the
construction of new county build
ings:
cat last, the county commission
ers have awoke to the fact that our
county buildings are a disgrace not
only to the city in which they are
located but to the county in general
and all it's people. Think OF it,
thousands OF dollars surplus county
funds and still the old buildings
which would hardly do honor as a
stable or sheep shed on our common
farms are used as a court house and
jail. The 5 o'clock tea which has
coursed through the veins OF author
tiles in general has been warmed to-
fiery heat and something is to be
done Immediately. Look at Kittson
county. It has erected a court house
and Jail that would 40 credit to any
county in the state. Even Roseau
county can boast OF better court
house than we can. Again we say
it is high time that the commission
ers were making a move and every
effort should be made to encourage
them in their undertaking. We un-
derstand that the proposed plans
are similar to those OF the Kittson
county buildings. Let the good
work go on by all means, and next
time half OF our town goes to War
ren courting we will have the benefit
OF an elegant court house, and per-
haps some OF us may occupy the
Jail. At any rate, let's do some
building.

In response to the invitation Of His

PosToFFIcE DEPARTMENT.
Revenues Growing Faster Than the
Expenditures

The domestic postal service continues to
grow with extraordinary rapidity. The ex-
penditures and the revenues will each ex-
ceed 100000 600 during the current year.
Fortunately since the revival of prosper
Gus times the revenues have grown much
faster than the expenditures. and there
is every indication that a short period will
witness the obliteration of the annual de
ficit. In this connection the report Of the
Postmaster General embcdies a statement
Of some evils which have grown up outside
Of the contempla ton of law in the treat
ment OF some classes of mail matter which
wrongly exercise the privilege OF the pound
rate. and shows that il this matter had
been properly classified and had paid the
rate which it should have paid, instead
Of a postal deficit fer the last fiscal year
of Sc GEO. there would have been on one
basis a surplus of SlI 637 $40. and on an
other Of S., T33 S3G. The reform thus sug-
gested, in the opinion OF the Postmaster
General would not only put the postal ser
vice at once on a self-sustaining basis.
but would permit great and valuable i'm
proyemeuts. and 1 commend the subject

lect The clear understanding OF interna-
tional differences hefoTe resurting 10 the

contemplates the formation Of perma-
uent tribunal before which disputed cases
may be brought for settlement by the
mutual consent Of the liUigants in each

be the actual existence of competent
court, prepared to administer justice, the
greater economy resulting from a we'll
devised system, and the accumulated judi

While earnestly promoting the idea Of
establishing a permanent international tri-

,as not unmindful Of the inconyeniences
which might arise from an obUusive eX-
crcise of mediation. and in signing The
convention carefully guarded the historic

lowing declaration:
Nothing contained in this convent, ION shall bc

America TO depart from its traditional policy OF
not intTuding upon, interfering with, or en-

tion be construed 90 imply REIMBURSEMENT 10y

Thus interpreted the Convention for the
Pacific Settlement of international Con-
flicts may be regarded as realizing the
earnest desire of great numbers of Amer

expressed in numerous resolutions and me-
MORALS, has urged them TO labor fer this

THE VENEZUELAN BOUNDARY.
4 satisfactory settlement of the Dis
pute.


The International Commission of Arbi-
tration appointed under the AngloVene-
zueIan treaty of 1897, rendered an award
on October last whereby the boundary
line between Venezuela and British Guiana
is determined thus ending controversy
which has existed for the greater part Of
the century. The award. as to which the
arbitrators were unanimous while not
meeting the extreme contention Of either
party, gives to Great Britain large share
Of the interior territory in dispute and to
Venezuela the entire mouth Of the Grin
oco, including Barima Point and the Car
ibbean Iittoral for some distance to the
eastward. The decision appears to be
equally satisfactory TO beth parties.
Venezuela has once more undergone
revolution. The insurgents, under General
Castro after q sanguinaTy engagement in
which ihey suffered much loss, rallied in
the mountainous interior and advanced
toward The capital. The bulk CT the army
having sided with the movement, President
Andrade quilted Caracas, where General
Castro set up a provisional government

A CHARMING WEDDING.
Marriage Of j. w. S. Butler and
Miss Matte White.

A very homelike gathering was that
which celebrated the pretty wedding of
Miss Matte White and John w. S.
Butler. The marriage ceremony took
place at $3.50 a. m. yesterday at the
residence of the brides parents, DR..
and Mrs. G. A. White, Rev. Hoskinson
officiating.
The bridal party was ushered into the
spacious home parlors to the inspiring
cadence of the "Lohengrin" wedding
March, The attention of all present
was attracted by the graceful appear
ance of the bride in her lovely gown of
pink mousseline de soir, trimmed with
pink satin ribbon, as she took her place
with the groom beneath a beautiful
marriage bell of orange blossoms and
carnations. The effect of these, to-
gether with the brides beautiful bou-
quet of brides roses, was decidedly
gratifying against the pretty back
ground of ferns, palms and roses with
festoons of evergreen draping.
When the nuptial knot was tied and
hearty congratulations exchanged, the
merry party repaired to the banquet
hall, there to partake of an elegant
wedding breakfast to share with the
bride the dream of her wedding cake
and toast the success of the occasion.
This delightful affair was brought to
a speedy close, for the first parting
kiss was the signal for a shower Of
rice, old shoes and consequent con-
fusion. The newly married couple
were hurriedly driven to the 11:45 over
land train to soend honeymoon of
two weeks in the mountains near Lake
Tahoe The happy pair were the re-
cipients of numerous useful and costly
gifts from a host of admiring friends.
