TRANsvAAL LOSS OF LIFE.

Moralists are discussing the terrible
loss Of life brought about by the Trans
vaal war. Yet here life Is sacrificed for
a purpose-for an honest principle. 1t
were better to preach against the need
less sacrifice Of life. Thousands Of
people succumb to ailments which
might easily have been checked In the
beginning. Dyspepsia carries of more
people than are killed in war. The use
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters would
save many lives. Constipation may
seem a little thing, but it invariably de-
velops into something worse, and the
longer it is allowed to run, the harder
1t is to cure. The Bitters cures indi-
gestion, constipation, dyspepsia and
biliousness, naturally and permanent
ly. without shocking the system. 1t is
good for everybody.

WANTS TO HEAR FROM CoNGER
Secretary Hay Demands That He Be
Put in Communication.

Washington, July 12:-Secretary
Hay today demanded of the Chinese
government that the department be
put in communication with Minister
Conger without delay. This demand
was made upon Minister WI, the Chi
nese minister in Washington, who has
no doubt laid the matter before his
government in a roundabout way,
through Sheng, the director of the Chi
nese telegraph.
Secretary Hay has grown impatient
at the delay in hearing from an au-
thentic source the truth about the con
ditions in Picking, especially in regard
to Minister Conger.
Apparently the imperial government
at Picking, the secretary declared, when
the Chinese minister appeared at the
department OF state with a copy of the
imperial decree. a in communica-
ton with the outside world, and there
vas no reason why Washington should
not Re permitted to communicate to its
representative at the Chinese capital.
Secretary Hay pointed out that while
some credence should be put in advices
from Picking, all Of which came from
Chinese sources. the best way to prove
their accuracy and authenticity was to
permit Mr.. Conger to send a message
to his government.
1t is believed the position taken by
Secretary Hay will produce immediate
results.

ELoPEMRNTs ARE RARE.
Parental Consent Always Required In
France,

PARENTAL Consent Always Required N
Elopements are OF very In
frequent occurrence in France,
a fact that is due in large
measure to the popularity of the
French law pertaining to marriages.
Not only must the contracting parties
up to any age-have he written
consent Of their parents. but also IN
case of the death of their parents they
must obtain the consent OF their
grandparents. Here Is a case instanc-
ed by a correspondent whose friend
Suzanne B.. was engaged to Henri y.
Both were orphans, yet 1t was several
months before the ceremony could %
performed because Of the number OF
papers and certificates which were
necessary for the celebration OF their
nuptials. No less than fourteen GER
tificates were absolutely Indispensable
and Suzanne, as well as her fiance. was
obliged to show a default Of their par
ents' presence or written consent:
First, her fathers death certincate;
second, her mothers death certificates;
third, her fathers fathers death GER
tificate; fourth, her fathers mothers
death certificate; fifth, her mothers
fathers death certificate; sixth. her
mothers mothers death certificate;
seventh, her own birth certificate. Sew
eral months elapsed before all these
papers could be got together. When at
last all was ready Suzanne B. appear
ed at the marie and inquired when she
might be married. Have you the con-
sent of your conseil de familie?" (fam-
lily council, which regulates the affairs
Of orphans and minors) was the ques-
ton. mo. my parents died intestate."
Then you can't be legally married"
But I have no conseil de familie."
well, then, get one as soon as pos
sible," was the reply. And poor Su-
zanne was forced to write to all OF her
relatives In all corners of France
many Of whom she had never even
seen-and ask them to come up to
Paris to form a conseil de familie.
After much expense, worry and trou-
BILE. not to speak Of lawyers fees, etc..
the various members Of the conseil do
familie were at last collected together
TO give their consent to the marriage

STUDYING

The Irrigation Investigation conduct
ed under the leadership Of Mr.. Ell
wood Mead Of Wyoming Is a branch
of the division Of experiment stations
under the department of agriculture
Thus it Is in close relation officially
with all experiment stations in the
arid region. Every person interested
in irrigation or engaged in solving any
Of its problems should be in sympathy
with this investigation, for under it
the work Of all will be brought togeth,
er in one complete whole.
There are so many problems connect,
ed with the general one Of irrigation
that no man can In reason be expect
ed to solve them all. The study GOV,
ers a wide fleld geographically, as vel
as in regard to the matters calling for
inquiry. Many men have been engag,
ed for the work, and they have been
stationed or found in different states,
so that the entire arid region will be
covered in the course of time. The
study Of plant growth with special ref,
erence to the amount of water need
ed to bring particular crops to maturi-
ty, and the relation Of water supply tc
the area to be covered, are among the
more important phrases of the gen
eral subject which will be investiga-
ted.
1t is evident thai in this connection
the agricultural experiment stations
within the arid region can play a high,
" Important role. Their work car be
made to dovetail in with that which is
Immediately under the direction Of
Prof. Mead, and what workers at O
particular station may discover will
contribute to the better execution Of
the whole plan. This is entirely prop
er. for the experiment stations, while
in a sense state institutions, are also
under the supervision of the depart
ment of agricultural to the extent that
they receive national aid.
Congress is more disposed than al
first to treat this Investigation with
liberality, making adequate appropria'
lions to carry it on. This will be more
and more the case as the people Iiv'
ing outside the arid region learn tc
appreciate the close relation between
the reclamation Of this part Of the
country and the welfare of the whole
nation, The arid region, embrace:
about one-third of the national domain
outside Alaska and the islands posses
sions. 1t would be absured to say tina
the country as a whole is u%ninterestet
in its development and the reclama
ton Of as much of it as possible from
aridity. The people of the Atlantic
seaboard should encourage congress t.
make liberal appropriations for carry
ing on this work, and persons connect
Cd with 1t should appreciate that the!
are engaged in a national undertaking
beneficial, not merely to a small area
but to the nation at large.-Denver Re
