A Spirit of Gentleness.

In the first place the spirit of Christ
was Spirit of gentleness. Sometimes
he made wTathful utterances against
Pharisees and hypocrites, but the most
OF his words were kind and gentle
and loving and inoffensive and at
tractive. When we consider the fact
that he was omnipotent and could
have torn to pieces his assailants, the
wonder is greater. We often bear the
persecution and abuse of the world
because We cannot help It, Christ en-
dured it when he could have helped it.
Little children who always shy off at
rough man rushed into his presence
and clambered on him until the peo-
pie begged the mothers to take them
away. Invalids sore with wounds that
they could not bear to have any one
come near them begged Christ just to
put his hand upon the wound and
soothe it. The mother with the sick
est child was willing to put the little
one in Christs arms. Self righteous
people rushed into his presence with
woman of debased character and
said, Now, annihilate her, blast her,
kill her." Jesus looked at her and saw
she was sorry and repentant, and he
looked at them, and he saw they were
proud and arrogant and malignant.
and he said, Let him that is without
sin cast the first stone at her." A
blind man sat by the wayside making
great to do about his lack of vision.
They told him to hush up and not
bother the Master Christ stopped to
him and said, What wilt thou that l
do unto thee?" Gentleness of voice.

Gold and Silver Production OF Cali.
fOrnia and the Yukon.
San Francisco. Jan. 3.-Frank A.
Leach, superintendent, and Charles G.
Yale, statistician of the United States
mint, have prepared a preliminary
statement, based on receipts at the
mint and other bullion repositories on
this coast, which shows that California
produced in 1899 gold to the amount OF
SIS, ZOO, 900, and silver $6S6,00O. The
increase over last year is 1851, 406 in
gold, and $3.50, 600 in silver.
An estimate by the same officials o:
the output of Alaskan mines during
1899 shows that the territory has
doubled its gold product over the pre-
vious year. The record for 1899 is:
Gold, $4,917,S2l, and silver, $50, $50,
as compared with an output of gold OF
$2,5l7, 121, and of silver of $40, 152
in 1898. This shows an increase TO,
the year of 2,4OO, 700 in gold, and
$33, 1913 in silver or total of 81, 434,-
428. 1t should be stated that the re-
turns Of the United States assay Office
at Seattle are included in this state
ment, as well as those of the United
States minis and private repositories.
The Klondike output for the year is:
Gold, SIC, Ito, 1879; silver, $l14,617.
The .Klondike annual gold yield for the
frs time eclipses that of California by
about 81, 900, 900.

TIMBER Land SALE
Weyerhauser Syndicate Buys
From Northern Pacific.
1 100000 ACRES FOB Se,5OO,0OO
Largest Deal in Timber Land Ever
Made in the West-Anothor Tract
Under Conslderatlon.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. AFTER
long-continued negotiations for the pur-
chase of 1000, 900 acres Of timber
lands in Washington the Weyerhauser
syndicate today paid over to the North
ern Pacific $6,5OO,0 900. This Is the
largest single deal in timber land that
has ever been made in the West. In
the past year this syndicate of lumber
men has bought up immense quantities
of land in Wisconsin and Minnesota,
and now has practical control of all the
timber in these two states. The
Weyerhauser people are estimating on
another tract of Northern Pacific pine
land in Washington, and have secured
an option on it at $500 an acre, and
they will probably pay for it in the
coming year.
The syndicate, headed by Frederick
Weyerhauser, is composed of the lead
ing and wsalthiest lumbermen in the
Northwest. Nearly all the land sold
today lies along the Seattle & Northern
branch of the Northern Pacific, be-
tween Anacortes and Hamilton, and il
adapted to the manufacture of large
dimension timber, which has long
since become exhausted in Wisconsin
and Minnesota.

eran bill, introduced in the senate by
Senator Mcbride and in the house by
Representative Tongue. This Is not a

it has been introduced time and again,

The members of the present delega.

As a matter of fact the entire delega-

alone to the men who introduced 1t,
but to the entire delegation, and they
will use their utmost endeavors TO get

brother Of the president of the Orange
Free State, and 500 Free Staters have

Matt. Steyn, acting as spokesman of

president that he was only authorized
to intervene in the interest of peace,
and that the burghers did not feel that
they were bound by his ''unwarrantable
conduct" especially as they ran the
risk of confscation of their property,
and they simply desried to be permitted
to farm in peace and proposed to imme-
diately return to their farms.

Vallejo, CAL, Jan. "A serious
landslide occurred on the water front
of Mare island last night. As re-
suit, 100 feet of the sea wall slid into
the bay, carrying with 1t tons of
granite work, cement and earth, and
loosening up fully 100 feet more OF the
wall. The breakis believed to be due
to the fact that the heavy rains of the
past few days had 80 filed the soil

GREAT LAKES AND THE GULF
Last Link In tho Great Waterway IL
Completed.


Completed.
Chicago, Jan. AT 8 O'Clock this
water was turned into the
$SS, 600, 900 drainage canal and began
to flow toward Lockport, where it will
TALL into the Des PLANES river, and
thence through the Illinois and Missis-
ippi rivers to the Gulf. What ia
termed by canal engineers the collat-
eral channel has been, for some time,
completed from Chicago river in the
southwestern part of the city to within
Is feet of the main channel of the
canal. This 15-foot wall of earth,
with two sluice gates behind it, has
been all that kept the Chicago river
and Lake Michigan out of the canal.
At 10 o'clock Monday steam dredge
began to cut away this wall of earth,
and few minutes before 9 O'Clock to-
day the water in the collateral channel
was against the sluice gates, and only
. few inches of timber remained to be
removed before Chicago was to realize
her dream of years and see the great
canal in actual operation. When the
water began to back up against the
sluice gates, the timbers were knocked
away, and the first water from the Chi
cago river ran into the canal.
Engineers of the sanitary district
have cut channel to carry 800, 900
cubic feet of water per minute into the
empty canal. This would be like the
bursting of q reservoir, and would tear
away every bridge over the canal and
wreck the cntrolling works at Lock.
port. Therefore, the water will be
turned in gradually. Probably a week
will elapse before the canal is full oil
water and is carrying away the sewage
that now flows into the Chicago river.
An occasion that might have beer
one of the most memorable in the
eventful history of Chicago was allowed
to pass by unimproved because the
trustees of the sanitary district were
intent on their own great aim-the
opening of the canal. Aside from the
trustees and engineers of the board,
there were less than dozen spectators
present.

ing plants as we'll. Within q short
time representatives of the combination
will get price on all producing zinc
mines in the Joplin, Mo-, district. and

Philippine Hemp Trade.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Assistant Sec.
retray of War Meiklejohn, in letter
to Representative Long, of Kansas, re-
garding the opening of the hemp ports
in the Philippine islands, says:
1.-THE estimated exports of hemp
from the Philippine islands for one
year of American occupation will APP
proximate 100000 tons, of which
amount 5000 tons should be credited
to the United States. This places the
estimated exports to the United States
for the year of American occupation
at about IL, 900 tons less than the ex-
ports of 1897. This is accounted for
by the fact that there have been opened
for shipment only three ports of the
Philippine islands.
every effort has been made by the
war department in the past and will be
made in the future to comply with re-
quests to open all the so-called hemp
ports of the islands.
