stage Robbers Bound over.

Pendleton, Ore, Oct. 7.-Commissioner
HALEY, upon evidence being presented by
the government against Barley and Far
rens, held them to the federal grand jury
at Portland in the sum of $4,000 for the
alleged crime of robbing the Ontario
Burns stage mails on the night Of Fri
day, September % During the hearing
statements made by witnesses for the
government tended to connect Van G,
Alexander with the robbery, Alexander
as one of the witnesses swore, having
given up $40 to the officers. He lives at
Huntington, Baker county. That third
man besides Barley and Farrens was i'm

An English girl of good family has
become infatuated with Prince L0ben-
gula, the Matabele chief, who has been
on exhibition IN London, and. afte-
vainly trying to marry him In England.
she has gone to live with him In his
kraal In South Africa The example
threatens to become contagious, and
London society is scandalized by the
attention which white women of good
breeding have been lavishiDg upon
these black savages In the Earl Court
exhibition. The sad case of Desdemo-
ma and Othelio does not seem to have
impressed these English women But
perhaps there are not men enough in
England to go around. The blame for
this state Of affairs may be laid at the
door of the American girl, who has
been poaching so long on the English
girls preserves. One might write quite
a pathetic story showing how the
naughty American heiress has forced
the abandoned aud desolate English
maidens to go to the black savages of
South Africa for their husbands

Prof. e. e. Slosson, Of the University
of Wyoming. gives some good reasons
in the Independent for the existence
Of coeducational colleges. He not only
admits that the throwing together Of
young men and women at college en-
courages marriage, but he further as
serts that 1t leads to wiser marriages
than those promoted by the ballroom
and the ordinary society methods. The
statistics of Bryn Mawr, college for
women, show that only 80 of the pa
graduates up to 1894 have married, or
only IA per cent. Figures from the Uni
versity of Kansas, a coeducatiOnal in
Stltution, show that of the 1870 women
graduates up to 1894 60 have married,
or 80 per cent. Thirty-one Of the sixty
five married fellow students, Indicating
that proplnqulty Is a good match-mak-
er. Prof. Slosson sums up the case by
saying: IF you want young people to
marry let them be together: If you don't
want them to marry keep them apart"
He IS undoubtedly correct In saying
that the enforced isolation Of the sexes
tends strongly toward permanent cell
bacy. While one cannot quite approve
Of the catalogue of a Western college
that asserted there were more happy
marriages among it's students than In
any other institution IN the country,
there is no denying that the healthful
association of young men and women
at college Is a normal and desirable
way of educating the sexes to know
and appreciate each other. As the main
object in view is education, the path to
matrimony Is through platonlc friend
ship instead Of through Irritation. If
the marriages. even Ia a coeducational
college, are fewer than In outside socie-
ty, they are at least founded on the real
tiles of mutual knowledge rather than
on the Illusions Of ignorance, and sell
dom lead 10 divorce.

A curious figure in French politics
has disappeared from Paris. This Is
Nine. Bastien, who was charwoman at
the German embassy. She used to en-
ter the building at in the morning
and empty the contents of the waste
paper baskets, coat pockets and any
drawers she could ransack into q recep-
tacle, which was handed over to an
other agent of the French espionage de-
partment. Nine. Bastien could neither
read nor write. so the second agent sort
ed the papers. This went on for many
years and the Germans had not the
slightest suspicion of the truth.

''They toll not, neither do they spin,'

The tide of travel will set heavily In
toward Europe next spring. Paris and
the great French exposition will be the
objective point. Thousands of Ameri-
cans will then visit Europe for the first
time, while other thousands will simply
score another annual trip. More and
more Americans visit Europe each
year. They are attracted by those
nameless charms which age alone can
bring and which is a fascination of the
older civilization. But even before the
trip to Europe should come the trip to
America. We have in these United
States a vast and diversified country
which, politically. is working out the
highest conception of popular govern
ment the world has yet attained. In a
relative sense 1t is new and it is crude.
1t presents few ruins, venerable or 9TH
erwise, but it has within its confines
some of the nOblest scenery the sun
shines upon. The man whose vision Is
limited to Manhattan Island or the
New England States sees the play Of
Hamlet" with Hamlet left out. Back
Of him for 5000 miles, clear to the Pa
cific Ocean, stretches a wealthy and
populous country, the people of which
have grappled with and conquered nov
ell problems, have made the American
desert blossom like the rose and made
productive the fiinty heart of nature.

Last year 100000 pounds OF alumni
mum, valued at $1.716.o00. were pro-
duced In the United States. The value
per pound was therefore 3S cents. In
1888 $4,000 pounds Of that metal were
produced. valued at nearly 1888 a
practically prohibitory cost. Improved
processes Of manufacture reduced rap
idly. the market price OF a metal that
can be utilized In so many ways. and
as consequence there was a great IN
crease In the output. The value per
pound I'm 1889 was about $3.50, IN 1890
81. In 1891 SO cents. Ia 1894 571s cents.
