MEETS APPROVAL.
Immigration Commissioner Powder ly Gratified by Japan's New Or
 der Restricting Emigration.

q am gratified at the action of the Japanese government in restricting the emigration of it's subjects to the United States said Commissioner Powderly. Tt was wise action. Unrestricted emigration would have eventually resulted in the demand for drastic measures from the people of the west. This probability has been happily averted by the judicious and kindly move of the Japanese govern ment."
 On account of the action of the Jap anese government in issuing the order practically prohibiting emigration to the United States, there is no longer any need for the services of Special Immigration Inspector Watchorn re- maining on the Pacific coast, where he was sent to investigate Japanese immigration and see that the laws re- lating to aliens coming into the eoun- try were strictly enforced.
 Assistant Secretary Taylor has di- rected Mir. Watchorn to return to Washington as soon as the ships now on the sea bringing Japanese immi- grants, which left Japan previous to the issuance of the new order, arrive and their passengers have been passed upon by the immigrant officials.

TOO UNCANNY FOR BURGLAR.
Routed by Skeleton and Goat in Mys- tery Room of n Fraternity
 House.

Twelve students in the Delta Tau Delta fraternity house, 5731 Monroe avenue, Chicago, were reused from slumber the other morning by the bleating of "Whiskers," the lodge goat, who had pursued a burglar over the back-lot fence. Then it was found that Theodore Sibley and Charles E. Carey had been robbed of a gold watch and s3.79.
 The burglar had entered at the front and after searching the room occupied by Sibley and Carey had entered the mystery room" "Wag Bo1tes," the house skeleton, was up late tabulating the number of nervous prostrations he had given to freshmen in the last ini- tiation, and greeted the stranger af- fably. The sacred green and purple fires burning in the mystic shrine cast flickering light over the serene "Wag Bones," and the burglar felt cold chills and sudden longing for home. That is the reason probably he did not loot the entire building.
 When the students found that "Whiskers" hadvanquished the burglar they gave him two extra Jumps of sugar and put him on double rations of new cans for a month. It is understood that the skeleton will have a new shroud, with eyeholes to fit, and that he will be fed on beef tea for fort night.

NEW COLLEGE ALLIANCE.
AndOver Theological Seminary May Join with Harvard.

President Tucker, of Dartmouth col lege the other afternoon delivered what may be the last baccalaureate sermon to a graduating class of An dover Theological seminary, in Andov- CT, Mass.
 The ninety-second anniversary of the institution will be observed within a few days, and it is likely that at that time the proposition to move the sem mary to another place will be officially acted upon.
 Last fall only five men composed the entering class, and the whole student body the last year has numbered but g. There are nine professors and three lecturers.
 The latest proposition is to move the famous old seminary to Cambridge, and either merge it into the Harvard di- vinity school, associate it with the uni versity in some less radical way, or else continue it on an independent basis and under its old name, trusting to the prestige that its location in the university city would be likely to bring
 It is thought by some that quiet country town is no longer an advan- tageous situation for theological sem mary.

h Monster Tarantula.

One of the largest tarantulas ever seen in these parts is on exhibition at the Free Coinage saloon. It is a river tarantula which accounts for its great size as those roaming the desert are much smaller owing to the great heat. but they are of the same family. This dangerous insect has fangs-it can be literally. scientifically or nat uralistically be SD described l inch in length; it has 10 legs, } on each side of the body; it is 3 inches from head to tip and will weigh from 1 to F ounces. It was captured by Mir. Joe Goodman. of St. David, on the banks of the San Pedro river and was brought in by that gentleman and left with Mir. Wm. King, and we hear that it was given to Deputy Sheriff ". Johnson who intends sending it to friends in Texas. It may be incidently remarked that if this insect could, or had the power of discriminatory using its poison it would have sufficient to destroy about five oxen and ten men, go into its winter quarters and be ready for business again during the first midsummer shower.-PrOspectOr.

AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHY.

A long focus, by which is meant a long bellows camera, is a good thing to have for general field work.
 The cameo process of making photo graphs comprehends the use of presses, dies and special apparatus, in addition to a degree of skill and care impossible to the average amateur. It is one of the most difficult of all photographic processes.
 Alcohol is the usual medium for the quick drying of plates, but here is an- other very good way. Make up solu- tion of formatin one part, and water nine parts. Immerse tine negative in this for five minutes, then give it a quick plunge into hot water and stand it up to dry. The formatin hardens the film so that it can hardly be melted even by prolonged soaking in hotwater.
 The usual reason why amateurs fail to get good pictures of flowers is that they use an ordinary plate instead, of an isochromatic. Getting good flower pictures I believe I may say is impossi- ble without the use of isochromatic pldltbs DtCduSG Adlt uSllCdlG COlOT val ues which more than the form make the beauty of a flower, are on the ordi- nary plate quite lost.

 During June, the light from nine in the morning until three in the after noon is about equable and perfect snapshots can be gotten anywhere with in those hours. The best snapshot time in the other summer months, say May and July, is between ten and two. This does not mean that good snapshots cannot be gotten before the morning hour named or after the afternoon hour. I have gotten fine snapshots as late as six o'clock in the evening. The best results, however, are gotten near CT the middle of the day.-"Snapshot," in Philadelphia Press.

THE SIGHTS OF BOSTON.

The first church in Boston, a matched log structure, was erected in 1632 on State street, just south of the old statehouse, on the site of Brazer's build ing.
 The Back bay district was gained from the saltwater tides by filling in, mainly between 1857 and 1887, the land sales giving the state a profit of S3,5O0,O00 above costs.
 Faneuil hall, "The Cradle of Lib erty," was built in 1742, by Peter Faneuil, the Huguenot merchant, for a market and public hall, and pre- sented to the town. Smibert, the pioneer painter, was the architect. It was rebuilt after a fire, in 1753, and dedicated by James Otis, and much enlarged in 1906, Bulfnch be- ing the architect.
 Boston was called Shawmut, mean ing '"The place where boats go," by the Indians; Fri Montaine, by the early English settlers at Charlestown, from the three bold peaks of Beacon Hill; and finally Boston Gin 163O), by the order of the Massachusetts legislature, after Lincolnshire sea- port from which some of it's people came.

Endicott, John Winslow, Lady Andros and Cotton, Davenport, Oxenbridge and other it. lustrious divines, with Brattle, Sheafe and other great colonial merchants, and learned judges and several gall lant officers.
 The old statehouse, at the head of State street, was built in 174S, in the walls of it's predecessor, erected in 1713, and on the site of the town house of 1857; and for half a cen tury the honorable provincial coun- cil and the state senate met in the eastern hall, and the house of rep resentatives in the western hall. Here, according to John Adams, ''In- dependence was born;" and for IA years Samuel Adams and Hancock, Otis and Quincy and other patriots resisted British aggressions, with fiery eloquence. Here the stamp act clearances were burned; the Brit ish troops were quartered, in 176s; Gems. Howe and Clinton held their war councils, surrounded by officers clad in scarlet and lace, and the state constitution was planned.

SOME PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
An 0Id-TlME and We'll Known Miner Makes a Sensible Plea fur Rail-
 road Tax Exemption.

Crowned King, Dec. % Editor Journal-AIiner.) As our legislature will soon be in session I will make some suggestions in regard to our wants here, if you will spare space in your valuable paper. I will speak particularly of our mining interests which is the uppermost in this vicin- ity. In the first place we have three classes of mines termed gash veins, Assure veins and mineral dykes. The former class are invariably small streaks and punches of high grade ore. That class have been worked for the past thirty five years for all that they are worth. You can see the wrecks of them all over the country; in fact give false impressions that our mines don't go down, most of that class do not hold out.
 Now We will have to get right down to legitimate mining, and work on the other class of permanent low grade Assure veins. They are the producers in other countries and why not here? simply because we have not the facili- ties in the way of cheap transpOrta- ton. We bring a mining man here to look at our properties, he says you have a fine looking prospect that would be a good mine in other coun- tries but it is of no account here. Our shipping facilities are lacking. We have the greatest mineral belt in Arizona running through Yavapai county into Maricopa, but we have not the cheap freight. Mines are not like cattle. You cannot drive them to the railroad. I have seen so much talk in some of our papers about re pealing railroad tax exemption laws
 Now we will take this place for ex- ample. The whole of Bradshaw mountains does not pay over five thousand dollars taxes into the county at the present time. 1 will venture the assertion without exaggerating, that inside of two years after we have a railroad here We VIII be paylng twenty thousand taxes into the county. In other words give us the road and We will pay the tax exemp- ton. It is already projected. and if We give capital inducements we will have it running clear through this belt; in fact the existence of this mineral belt as a producer de pends on a railroad. The success of our mines means prosperity for the whole territory. I have confidence enough in our legislators being pro gressive enough to look out for our welfare.
 \ railroad we must have or we can not work our mines. So let Us ride or the car of prosperity instead of on top of a Jackass.

WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
the Top of the shaft-FreQuentIy Struck by LishtRinR.

During May 17,752 visitors went to the top of the Washington monument, making a total of 1,s44,635 visitors since the shaft was opened to the public in. October, 1888. Hardly a month of the spring and summer passes that the monument is not struck by lightning. While the struo- ture itself escaped last month, a man who was standing on the lower floor of the monument, leaning against one of the iron columns which support the stairway, received a shock of cleo tricity in his arm and shoulder. Two other men who were looking out of one of the windows at the top of the shaft narrowly escaped with their lives, as the lightning came in the window directly over their heads. They were blinded for a moment, but escaped injury.

IMPORTANT INSURANCE DECISION.

Judge Dangerfield, of San Fran cisco, has just decided an insurance case which is of considerable interest to all insurance people as well as to all carrying insurance. The case briefly stated is as follows; In OctO- Der, 1883, Abraham F. Benjamin in sured his life for S5OOO in the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association. The contract signed by him was that he should pay certain premiums, and that at his death his widow, Rebecca D. Benjamin, would be his beneficiary. Subsequently the company increased its premiums to the extent that Ben jamin was not able to pay them, and his policy lapsed.
 Benjamin died October II, 1899, and when his widow demanded the amount of the policy on her husbands life, the company refused on the ground that, as Benjamin was in ar rears in premiums, his policy was null and void. Mrs. Benjamin filed suit to recover, and the matter was heard be- fore Judge Dangerfeld. Attorneys representing Mrs. Benjamin claimed that the Mutual Reserve Fund people had violated their contract with Ben jamin in raising his premiums to the degree that he could no longer meet them. Having violated their contract the company was in no position to charge Benjamin with a violation of his agreement.
 The case was hinged upon the pro position whether or not the increasing of its premiums, by hundreds of policy holders were forced to retire from the field and suffer the loss of the money they had previously paid, was in reality a breach of contract by the company with its subscribers.
 In deciding the matter Judge Dan gerfeld held affirmatively, and gave judgment for S4,94S for Mrs. Ben jamin. This decision will affect seY- eral insurance companies which have increased their premium rates in re- cent years by which policy holders were forced either to pay the increase or give up their policies and lose all they had previously paid in. It is announced that the case will be ap- pealed to the supreme court, where another fight will be made.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Congress made a before-the-recess record of which its members have a right to be proud. Here's hoping that every man of them will enjoy his holidays.
 Numerous candidates for the senate are not as sure about the action of their state legislatures as they would like to be.
 The senate would do wise thing if it passed the revenue reduction bill just as it passed the house. This would not only save time, but it would head of log rolling schemes involv- ing other legislation, on the part of those who would profit by further re- ductions.
 Those who do not know that the senate has equal treaty making rights with the president are referred to the United States constitution.
 Probably it was fear that the other papers might tire of giving him free advertising that prompted Mir. Bryan to start paper of his own. His choice of a name-The COmmoner- will strike many as his campaign speeches did.
 The prime minister of Holland con soles Mir. Kruger for Hollands re fusaI to help the BOers by giving dinner in his honor. Human nature that, wasn't it2
 The missionaries claim that the Chinese emperor is a Christian If so, it is clear that he is not the stuff that martyrs are made of or else he would declare himself.
