may say that one OF the greatest causes
for rejoicing yesterday was the final
ejectment Of outside influences from

TVS affairs. We can get along quite
comfortably without any foreign min

departure.

IT Is an excellent ticket for county
Offices that is presented to the voters
Of King county. for their approval.
The nominees are all men whose
names have been prominently be-
fore the public in connection with these
Offices for weeks or months. All OF them
are good men. good Republicans, and
well qualified for the positions for which
they have been named.
Sheriff Van De vanter made a ire
mendousiy effective campaign. 1t was
generally admitted that he was entitled

two men who aid not secure an indorse-
ment by this convention. Mr. De Moss,
Of Ballard. was beaten by the excep-
tional strength which Mr.. Lamping de-

OF the entire devotion OF the friends
who stood BY him. His delegates were
enthusiastic and immovable. and few
men receive 30 high a compliment as
the support that was rendered to him
br his friends and neighbors.
A really remarkable feature OF the

gates who were devoted TO the interests
OF John wooding as candidate for
sheriff There was solid phalanx OF
them who cared most OF all for Mr..

The aspect of the vast auditorium

ALICIA'S EXPERIMENT

Alicia Wellington was 26 years old
and she had never received an offer Of
marriage nor had a lover. Her two
younger sisters were both happily
married-Gertrude to a young man
who had adored her from childhood
and LOttie to an elderly widower who
had fallen in love with her at her
fused three offers before marrying
John Nelson; Lottie, who was a born
coquette, had received homage from
almost every man she knew from the
time she could talk.
Alicia was serious and rather
naughty. Ha friends called her Gin
tellectual," and this same intelIectu-
ality made her unpopular with men,
who were generally her interiors in
her chosen style of conversation, if
not in depth Of thought. Until now
Alicia had affected to despise the
other sex. Lotties firtations and
Gertrude's conquests had seemed friv-
oIous to her. But she wished to be
Well-rounded woman and it suddenly
occurred to her that she knew nothing
of love, although it was one of the
chief things of life. The fact that
she was different from other girls
and their inferior in one respect was
brought home to her by a meditation
on love and matrimony which followed
the receipt of letter announcing the
engagement of the only unmarried one
OF her classmates. To be sure, Alicia
was younger than the other girls, but
she had come out the same year.
1T is all very well not to marry"
she said to herself in conclusion, but |
it is odd not to attract a single |
sutton. There must be something |
lacking in me. I have always known !
that l didn't like men, but it is strange
that men don't like me- can ac-
almost anything if l make up
my mind to it. I will have lover.
need not marry him, of course, but
will have him desperately in love with
NE, so that I shall have an impas-
stoned offer; then l will refuse him"

may stand on the bridge that spans
the little river and recall that here Ma
poleon won also his name of little
corporal" But that was not glorious
for Italy, and does not stir the imagi-
nation. And Milan, also in the plain of
Lombardy, the center of the art and
music and learning Of northern Italy
is distant from the poor of Lodi who
have not the small silver coin nece8-
sary for the journey.
Yet here to Lodi the poet came-a
girl, the daughter of a woman who
worked in a factory. Her name was
Ada Negri, and when at the end Of the
days toll she told her mother of the
distant mountains and the sea, and the
wide life Of the world where every soul
Of us all finds it's work, that mother
determined that the daughter should
not spend her life in sordid labor.
She could do little more for her than
to fit her for the humblest place as vii.
lage school teacher. At IS Ada Neg-i
went little farther into that dreary
stretch of plain to the town called
MOtta-Viconti. She lived in a poor
house fronting on a muddy court where
geese gabbled all day long. And there
was not even glass in the windows OF
her room which she reached at night
after a long day with seventy children
as poor as she. Here she sat on the
floor beside a box of books and forgot
her poverty.
At the age of p she wrote her first
poem Fatalita. 1t was the cry of a
hampered soul, hurt by the prison
walls of circumstances. It won for her
an annual sum Of S340 a year given by
a widow Of Florence. And then she
was called to Milan as teacher of lit
erature in the normal school, Two
years ago she was married to rich
manufacturer, and her name now il
Signora Garlandia.
Her poems have the same quality Of
sympathy for suffering that they had
before the days Of her prosperity. She
feels peculiarly for the factory workers
and has been accused of leading The
socialists in their struggle against the
capitalists. But all classes read her
books that have a wider sale than was
ever known to be true of poetry in
Italy, where the lower classes are not
commonly great readers. She is af-
fectionately called the factory girl
poet" by the people who feel that she
has lived their life and understands the
burden they bear. Her Tempe5te
treats Of social unrest and Maternita Of
motherhood. Short sets of verses Of
hers have been set to music. and it is
not improbable that social reforms
may be fastened in Italy because of the
inspiring strains making for liberty,
equality and universal brotherhood
that have been written by Ada Negri.

SANCTUM MUSINGS

William Bromley showed us some
fine samples of new potatoes last Mon
day. They are appropriately named
the EARLY Six Weeks" and are the
biggest we have seen so far.
Last Monday W. P. Young, residIDg
two miles west. of Fairview, near
Viola, brought in some of the biggest
strawberries we ever saw The larg-
est was FULLY six inches in circum-
ference the long way and four and
three-fourths inches the shorter way
round. The berry was perfectly form
ed and many others were nearly as
large. The variety is known as the
Clyde" and we have not seen any
thing like them in the market this
year.
G. I. Myrick, who is a real farmer,
informs us he had new potatoes on the
10Th and last year had them on the
9Th, 10 days earlier, and the samples
he submitted are proof of his state
ment. The variety is known as the
EARLY Ohios, and Mr.. Myrick doesn't
claim that they are either hard or
soft shell Baptist, but thinks they are
OF Presbyterian origin! So far we have
Methodist, hard-shelled Baptist, and
Presbyterian potatoes in that part OF

the platform was adopted unanimously.
But the silver issue is not crowded to
the front, the plank cOndemning i'm

taking up a large part Of the lengthy

Stevenson in Second Place.
Kansas City, July THE democratic
national ticket was completed yester-
day by the nomination of Adlai E.
Stevenson for vice president. The
nomination was made on the first bal
lot, state after state joining in a wild
scramble to record their support Of
the winning candidate. The distinct
triumph of the day in the way of pop
ular ovation was that accorded Senator
Hill, and in it's spontaneity of enthu-
siasm was one of the most notable
features the convention has produced.

markable scene. Hill earnestly pro-

UP-TO-DATE COLLECTING.

Creditors in Vienna, according to all
reports, appear to have very drastic
method Of getting the accounts paid
or the goods returned. It is reported
that one mOrning-Sunday morning,
toO,-a young man, fashiOnabIy
dressed, was walking along a much
frequented street, when he was con-
fronted with his shoemaker, who in
cOntinently demanded that his bill
should be paid, or, as an alternative,
proposed to take back the boots the
customer was then wearing. The I'M
happy young man replied that he had
not enough money with him to settle
the account; so the shoemaker, rein
forced by his apprentices, seized the
young man and forcibly removed his
boots. 1t is further stated that an
immense crowd collected and seemed
verym UGH diverted by the incident.
This is an appalling way of debt col
Letting, and we hope it will not spread
to this side of the Atlantic. To be
chased out Walnut street by ones mil
liner, who was intent upon the reno
val of the latest thing in Paris hats
from ones head, would be an ordeal
that few women would survive, with
out considerable loss Of dignity.

casion Of the inauguration OF Senior
Rodriguez, the first Cuban elected
mayor.
At Santiago de Cuba the celebration
during the last two days of the an
niVersary Of the great naval battle Of
July 3, 1898, was similar to those Of
last year. An American party went
to the Spanish wrecks in an excursion
tug, fired salutes and burned fire
works. At night the SpaniardS cele-
brated the event with a special mass
for the repose Of the souls OF Admiral
Cerveras sailors and marines.
The American Philippine commission
is carefully studying the approaching
necessity for the substitution for army
officers performing civil functions OF
civil service men and has asked the
Washington government to send eX-
aminers to the Philippines to hold
civil service examinations here at the
same days in the United States, with
the idea of creating Philippine civil
service board. Aguinaldo has circu-
lated a proclamation asking the natives
TO beware OF the commission.
