The Time to Marry,

You may not tell a young man whom to marry, but you may with propriety, tell him when to marry. Too many young men marry too young. Too of- ten they can scarcely support themsel- yes, when they incur the additional re. sponsibility of supporting a wife. and possibly a mother-in-law in the bargain. In most cases this leads to domestic in felicity. for, talk as you may. money and home comforts are absolutely essen tlal to domestic happiness. It is wrong for any man to aska woman to leave her fathers home before he has one prepared for her, or the tangible as- surance that is able to prepare one. No young man should think of marry- ing before he is in a position to con- fortably care for the woman who trusts herself to his keeping If you are a young man contemplating marriage ton conSumn ate the transaction till ''"n nave home-one little spot in all
 he world that you can call your own. tnd where you will be king and vour wife undisputed queen. Don't bring your wife to live with your mother. troble Is always sure to follow and your home will never be so happy after your wife has had trouble with your mother, You will thereafter live between two Of the hottest fires on earth and life will lose many of its charms

TELL HER SO,

You have not forgot the summer
 When your love dream came to you, And the w0oing and the winning
 Of the heart that's been so true. Years have gone, and still you love her, But we often careless grow; Though your loves as warm as ever.
 Do you often tell her so? Do you think she has forgotten,
 In the fitting of the years, Words she loved to hear you utter Only meant for lovers cars. No She never will forget them,
 Tender words so sweet and low. And today she longs to hear them
 II you love her, tell her so! Those old. happy days of wooing
 For the world she'd not forget, Though the honeymoon is over,
 You should be as lovers yet When the cares Of life are many.
 And its burdens heavy grow. Help her bear them, and I pray you, If you love her, tell her sol Loving words will cost you nothing. And you cannot tell their power; Cannot tell how much they brighten All the shadows of the hour. Grudge them not, us on life'e journey Through this world of ours you go; To the faithful hearts besides you. If you love them. tell them so.

NEWS FROM CAPE NOME.
Its Vast Wealth Recognized at last

The public have but recently awak- ened to the fact that there is country that may outdo the Klondike, the Mug get of the 18th announcing that the new diggings are the most phenomenal on earth.
 A correspondent Of the San Francis co Examiner writing from Nome, under date of August l7th. says that when people arrived from Kotzebue sound "they were surprised to see men dig ging on the beach. Hundreds began banning, then carried out rockers, and finally moving there with their tents and bag and baggage, so that now the bulk of the population is on the beach, working early and late like ants, and taking out from S1 to $2OO per day to man. It is true that those who take out the most are in the minority. as most of the workers only take out what they call wages-about $lO to $2O per day, while some others don't take out as much as $2 per day. Who knows whether it is the fault of the man who works the rocker or the fault of the piece of ground they are working. It may be both, but the fact remains just the same that some of them are wash ing out hundreds of dollars per day: and while they are paying on the claims from five to nine dollars per day, they are paying on the beach $l per hour"
 "With respect to the beach diggings on government land rule has been adopted to the effect that each man is allowed 60 feet for rocking purposes: but the persons right to such 60 feet terminates when the rocker is removed similar right may then be acquired by another party.
 The men follow the receding tide with their rockers and work at the very edge of the surf until driven back. The men on the beach protest that for lSO miles along the beach the prospects are equally as good as where the ground is being worked.
 Many men under contract to the A. c. Co. have incurred 8 liability to a suit for damages by deserting their various posts.
 Governor Brady and Manager Wilson estimate that 5000, ,OOO will not cover the amount of gold from these new fields this season.
 The people of Nome are living in tents almost exclusively, and great rush is antici pated when the final freeze up shall turn their eyes towards Seattle Only percentage can be acommodat- ed and the balance will have to hustle for themselves.
 The whole thing reads like a fairy story, but so dld the first accounts of the Klondike. and many Dawsonites who have just come in were led, for a long time, into believing all the stories Of KlOupiee wealth to be mere halucin. a:ions of miners ''run stampede mad"

RUSSIAN AND GERMAN TREATY
Emperor william and Gar Reach an
Understanding on General Lines of
Commercial Agreement.

BERLIN, Nov. 20.-Whle the czar was at
Potsdam recently the general lines of a
prospective commercial treaty between Ger
many and Russia was reached. Emperor
William, the czar, DR.. Won Miguel and NJ. de
Witte discussed the situation, including the
financial crisis in Russia The latter was
largely due to the numberless industrial en-
terprises especially in iron, started under
the Russian high tariff policy, being Obliged
to curtail their output, owing to insufficient
coal supplies from the south Russian mines
When the workshops closed for lack of coal
prices rose enormously and the minister of
finance. NJ. de Witte, therefore arbitrarily
fixed the price of railroad material required
by the state railroads at about so per cent
below the price demanded. AS many of
these enterprises were started expressly to
supply the Siberian railroad, the result was
disastrous.
The German and Russian governments
take a grave view Of the situation, but in
Berlin financial circles the crisis Is only re-
garded as temporary Therefore, in view
of the cZars emphatic declaration at Pots
dam in favor of NJ. de Whites peace policy
and the believed baselessness of the reports
of Russian advance in Afghanistan and Per-
sia, Berlin flnanciers are now inclined TO
further Russia's financial and industrial ex-
pansion on the ground that they will thus
be subscribing to their own interests, In
drawing apart Russia and France and In
heightening Russias powers of purchasing
German products.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O-The Commercial
Advertiser says:
Significant conferences have been held in
this city within the past week between Of
ficials of the Union Pacific and representa-
tives of western lines which have and expect
to have traffic relations with the Union Pa
cifc. E. II. Hartman and men associated
with him in the control of the Union Pa

President Burt has been discussing a flu
ture course of action with the executive
committee and the fact that President Mar

came on from the west this evening to at
tend a meeting OF the Union Pacific directors
has set many tongues to wagging
At the general offices of the Chicago &
Northwestern inquiry elected the informa-
tion that officers of that line, who have
knowledge of the relations between their
line and the Union Pacific, do not believe
there is any reason to suspect changes in the
relations between the two companies. Pres
ident Marvin Hughitt of the Chicago &
Northwestern is also a director in the Union
Pacific and in that capacity it is believed
he is able to protect the interests of his

Copyright, 1890 by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, Nov 2O.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Spccial Telegram.) )-The kaiser has
rigidly maintained the nom political charac-
ter of his visit to the queen. The address CT
welcome presented by the Windsor corpora
tion referred to the close interests between
Germany and England, but the kaiser ig-
nored the allusion and simply responded
with formal thanks for the hospitable re-
ception on the occasion of personal private
visit to his English relatives. The kaiser
evidently has resolved not to give any coun
tenance TO the exaggerated deductions
sought to be drawn from his visit by the
ministerial press, though he has brought
Count Won Buelow with him to discuss out
standing questions relative to the far east
and East and West Africa with Salisbury
before getting further valuable concessions
while Great Britain is in its present yield
ing humor Lady Sallsbury's death, in which
the kaiser sent warm message of sympathy
to the bereaved premier, necessitates post
ponement OF Won Buelows meeting with
Salisbury until the end of the kaiser's visit,
which may be prolonged couple of days to
facilitate contemplated negotiations.
The kaiser has made it perfectly plain that
his present attitude to England is one of
benevolent expectancy, leaving it to Sails
bury to make it worth while to alter it to
avowed sympathy.

ton is situated in the basement of tho
court house, one floor below the sheriffs
office and but short distance removed from
the court chamber in which the session OF
the district court was being held at the
time. 1t is surrounded by offices which
were more or less occupied by employees at
the time and the corridors of the court house
were thronged with residents OF the city and
county, called there by the court. And yet
no one has yet been found who heard the
explosion or saw the departure of the rob-
bors.

the safe with giant powder, tear the money
box from its place, wrap 1t IN womau's
macintosh hanging near, and make his es-

another official, entered the office. During
the interval the robbery committed.
The outside door of the safe had been left

signs upon the county treasury.

SYMPATHY FOR SALISBURY
England Condopcs with Its Premier

! LONDON, Nov. 20.--(New York World
| Cablegram-Special Telegram. Widespread

loss could have befalen the British premier.
Lord and Lady Salisburys attachment to
each other was dyllic and all the time Sails

he spent in his wifes company. and during
her fatal illness he was continuously by

dropsy four years, the paralytic stroke in
| September being a sure symptom that the
| dread disease had reached its final stage.
| Anxiety about the fate of her second fav-
orite son, Lord Edward Cecil, in Mafeking,
preyed greatly on her imind, especially as
Salisbury was unable to satisfy her longing
for news of him
Lady Salisbury was woman of very
sweet disposition, with considerable fund
of natural wit and humor, but never won't
into society, devoting herself entirely to her
own family and husband, in whose political
ambitions she had the keenest interest. The
queen appreciating Lady Salisburv's distaste
for society formalities only commanded her
to Windsor on big state occasions
Though she never patronized general So
at the great party receptions Salisbury's
present position compelled him to give. She
had not been to the theater in thirty years,
sharing her husbands Indifference to the
attractions of the stage. She was tall and
fine looking, but not aristocratic in ap-
pearaace, with sympathetic eyes which all
her children inherit, resembling her alto
gether much more closely than their father.
The children literally worshiped her and
palatial Hatfield was always an open house
for them, whose hospitality with their wives
families they constantly enjoyed. Her death
leaves a void impossible to fill and its ef-
fects on Salisbury himself, whose health is
none too robust, is much feared by his
friends and political supporters.
LONDON, Nov. 20.-Lady Salisbury died
this afternoon. - SO
She had been in illheaith for long time
past, suffering second stroke Of paralysis in
June last. Lady Salisbury was daughter of
the late Hon. Sir Edward all-Alderson,
baron Of the court of exchequer, and was
married to the Marquis of Salisbury, now
premier in 1857.
Lady Salisbury died at Hatfield house.
Her health recently appeared to be improy-
