FROM FOREIGN LANDS.
BRITISH CRITICISM.

Great Interest Manifested in the Doc

3 LONDON-The amount OF space de

widespread interest in the document.

itorials on the subject, particularly re-
fer to the currency declarations, and
solace themselves with the idea that
the good relations between the United
States and Great Britain are so we'll
known as to have not required any
more emphasis than received. The
Pail Mall Gazette sees in the message
an unmistakable reproof of Mr..
Chamberlain's Leicester speech. The
Globe thinks the document is weak in
higher craftsmanship and that on for
eign policy, as elsewhere, it is tine
tured with opportunism.
The Westminster Gazette, discussing
the reference to Canada, says: when
discussing the relations between Great
Britain and the United States, it ought
always to be remembered that there
are very material interests which must
be dealt with on business, and not on
sentimental grounds. Graceful con-

For Young Men.

Cultivate pleasing address. It is q
great essential to success and one thing
necessary to it is the ability to express
your idea in good, plain, smooth Eng
lish. When you speak let your Ian
guage be the exact expression Of your
meaning. Don't muddle up what you
have to say, nor abbreviate nor tell the
same thing over twice. Formulate your
idea. That is, get clear conception
of your meaning yourself. Then say
what you think in the plainest way you
can. Avoid the use of large words the
meaning Of which some of your hear
ers may not understand. Speak so
concisely and clearly that If what you
say were written it would express your
idea exactly. Then besides clearness
there is in conversation an elegance
that marks the good conversationalist
To acquire this you should make a care
full study Of the dialogue in good books.
Listen to good speakers and try to-
catch their style. Get into a way Of
putting what you have to say in a
smooth, pleasing way. This requires
study and careful observation of others
and constant vigilance to avoid awk-,
ward phrases and sentences, but you
can improve yourself in this way If
you are willing to undertake it.

HE WAS TOUGH TO THE LAST.

Sacramento (Cal.)-Harry Winters
was hanged at Folsom prison for par
ticipation in the murder of G. A. An
drews at Baden, San Mateo county, on
November II, 1897. He died without a
struggle. He attempted to make a
speech on the platform, and accused
the turnkey, George j. Haggerty, of
slowly poisoning him for ten months.
Winters was not his real name He was
German socialist and refused to give
any statement regarding his family
or former history. He rejected the
ministrations of Rev. Father Nugent,
the Catholic chaplain, and this morn
ing, when the Rev. Mr.. Shade of Sacra-
mento, the Protestant chaplain, visited
him in his cell, he used very profane
and abusive language, and denounced
the ministers of the gospel and the
Christian religion.
There were only about twenty-five
visitors, and the execution was one Of
the neatest ever performed at the
prison. Winters died in ten and half
minutes after the drop fell.
In company with James Willett and
G. H. Raymond, alias Samuel Encore,
Winters attempted to burglarize a
hotel at Baden, San Mateo county, on
the night of November II, 1897. In a
struggle with Patrick Ferriter, the
proprietor. and G.. A. Andrews, a
boarder, the latter was killed. Subse-
quently Raymond was convicted of
murder in the first degree and executed
at Folsom on April 8, 1898. Willett
was captured in Arizona and pleaded
guilty. receiving a life sentence. He
is now confined in Folsom prison.
Winters has previously served two
terms in Folsom prison for burglary
and attempt to commit burglary.
Raymond, alias Moore, had served a
term of fifteen years there, and also
two terms in Oregon. Willett had also
served a term of ten years in Folsom
for burglary.

THE DEAD ALIVE.

Starbuck Wash. )-Nathan Keith, rs
years old, has been reunited to his
wife and daughter after having been
mourned as dead for fifty years. His
aged relatives live on TukannOnCreek,
mile from here. Keith left his wife
and daughter in Minnesota in the days
of 40, and went to California in search
of gold His family lost all trace of
him, as did he also of them. Receiv-
ing no word from him the wife and
daughter gave up all hopes of his re-
turn and also started for the West, liv-
ing in different Western states and
finally settling in Columbia county,
Washington.
During this time Keith wandered
aimlessly about. Many years ago he
settled in what is known as Whisky
Greek" country near Dayton, with a
man named Winnett, with whom he has
resided until the present time Acct
dentally, his wife, who resides with her
daughter, Mrs. r. o. Eaton, saw his
name in the paper last week, and think
ing that he might be her long-lost
husband, wrote him a letter, telling
him who she was, where she had come
from and relating the story of her hus-
bands departure
In response to her letter she was
happily surprised the other day by a
visit from her husband of fifty years
ago. The reunion between both hus-
band and wife, as well as father and
daughter, was a pleasant one.

OHe OF the questions agltat1ng those
who concern themselves with the good
of the race is the alleged remarkable
falling off in the number of marriages.
Many acute minds have sought an ex-
PLANTATION for this state Of affairs, and
while suggestions as to the reason are
sufficiently numerous an adequate solu-
ton of the problem is so far still want
ing. Perhaps the most plausible the
Dry is that emanating from large
class Of philosophers who make selfish
ness. the root Of all human action.
Building on this foundation, they al
lege that the desires of the modern
wife as to those surroundings Of her
social position for the supplying Of
which big income is indispensable,
have become so exacting that it is inn
possible for the modern husband, un-
less particularly fortunate in a tinan-
cial way, to supply them. Under these
circumstances, 1t is said, the raw ma
terial from which husbands are made,
the bachelors, prefer to endure the un-
questioned discomforts and lack of per-
feet life harmonies in their solitary
isolation, rather than suffer such sacri-
fees as might be implied in their enter
ing wedlock. This theory no doubt
fairly elucidates the situation from it's
point of view, but there is still another
phase of the question that is well
worth consideration. Its possible in
f1uence on the defamation of the mar
riage rate is not so obvious as the for
mer may be, but it may exist for all
that. Whether justly founded or not,
there are certain beliefs current among
men, usually, it is true, referred to in a
jocose way, that at greater or less
period after marriage the wife becomes
exacting as to a husbands hours, hab-
it's, companions and expenditures, and
that -where argument fails she some
times resorts to such force as she is
capable of to enforce her views. In the
old days, in spite of these beliefs, wom-
an was so generally accepted as the
weaker sex that it apparently had no
deterrent effect on men inclined to
marry. But what of the present? II
investigated it may be found this
lamentable marital detection is con-
temporaneous with the advent of the
athletic female. Every day we hear of
her exploits in some new field of en-
deavor associated with such courage,
muscle and miscellaneous ability to
take care of herself, that the most
careless observer must take heed. OF
course, it is not to be asserted posi-
lively that the development Of athletic
females has had any positive effect on
the marriage decrease, but the idea is
given for what it is worth.

THE ORPHANS IN LUCK.

About two years since a man by the
name of Upham, residing in SolanO
county, died, leaving will by which
he willed to the managers of the Good
Templars' Home for Orphans at VAL
lejo, in trust for the inmates, the re-
mainder of his estate, after giving to
others about $4,000. A contest arose
between two brothers Of the deceased,
who were the lawful heirs, and the
home for orphans as to who should
have the share claimed by the home
The conrt below decided in favor of
the home for orphans, and the brothers
appealed the case to the Supreme
Court. Last Monday the Supreme
Court rendered its decision fully sus-
tanning the order of the court below,
which order they confirmed. BY this
decision the Good Templars' Home for
Orphans will receive something over
$4,000. The home takes orphans from
any part of the state, and without
question as to nationality or color.
The home now shelters over two hun
dred. and all under IA years of age.

little remarkable it has not put 10000
men to work, or twice that number, so
as to make an end Of them at once. The
entire denudation of the forests might
be easily accomplished, as forest fires
are now raging in various parts Of the
country. If the tree cutters, hunters
and campers would only combine their

quickly secure the destruction of the

1t is unquestionably true that up to
. decade ago great deal of advertis-
ing was characterized by buster and
exaggeration. The two essential fea-
tures-reliability and instructiveness-
which have rendered the present-day
plan Of advertising in a popular. news
paper so successful were in a great de-
gree lacking. The merchant seemed
to simply want to yell to the public
through the speaking trumpet of his
advertisements. On the other hand,
modern trade announcements engen-
der in the public mind a confidence in
the advertiser which is always certain
to have profitable effect upon his
business.
