SAILORS HONOR MISS GOULD.
The Guest Of the Boys of the Battleship
Massachusetts,.

Boston. Helen Gould is the first
woman to be honored by an invitation
on the part of United States wsrshiI
to be their guest for an entire day.
She was visited recently by dele "a.
tion of men from the battleship Mas
sachusetts, now in the harbor, and
Seaman E. Goerke as spokesman asked
her to go aboard the ship any day she
could and be the guest of the men OF
the forecastle. Seaman Goerke told
Miss Gould of the high appreciation
the men of the entire navy had for
what she had done for them in Brook
lyn, and the desire they felt to make
some return. If she would honor them
by her presence ON the vessel, which
was their home, and become their
guest for day they hoped to make
her visit one of pleasure to her and OF
benefit to themselves in giving them
all an opportunity to thank her for her
thoughtfulness and consideration for
the nations defenders.
In reply Miss Gould said she was
very much pleased to receive such an
invitation, so cordially expressed, and
that she would try to 60 aboard Friday
or Saturday morning and remain with
the men as long as possible. The men
pride themselves on the fact that they
are the first to extend such an invita-
tion. This is the first time in the his
tory OF the navy when sailors occupy
ing no official position have taken such
action

CALIFORNIA; WINE.
Frenchmen Jealous of our Product and
Exclude it from Competition.

Paris.-The national commissioners
continued their inspection of the
American exhibits at the exposition.
The jury on wines has decided not to
Judge any foreign wine which bears
the name of any French wine. Most
American wines have the general
names of French wines, with which
they are favored, such as Sau-
terne, Chablis, Bordeaux, Chateau
Yquem, etc. These will be excluded
under the action of the jury, half of
the membership of which are French
men.
The California commission who
hoped to secure recognition for their
wines are incensed and threaten to
withdraw all their exhibits. 1t is
felt here that jealousy of the American
wine industry is at the bottom of the
trouble, as the wines now excluded
were judged at the exposition of 1889
under the names they now bear. Be-
sides the American wines were cata-
logued under their present names and
there has been no protest until now.
Later the question was brought to
the attention of the American commits
sion by DR.. Wiley, the American rep
resentative on the wine jury, and
pressure will be brought to bear with
the object of annulling the decision
which is considered most unjust to
the American exhibitors.
It is believed that the wine jury,
which is a class jury, acted without
authority, and that it will be over
ridden by the group jury whose duty
it is to decide such matters.

Canned fruit prices in carload lots
are somewhat of a surprise. The high
that canned fruit would be 10 to Is
cents per dozen dearer than last year s
prices. But the heavy crop of fruit
has made the price of the fruit so low,

cents less than last year. Apricots and
pears will be 5 to 10 cents dearer.
Only carload1et prices are yet fixed,

Notaries Not Removable.

San Francisco. In a decision rem
dered, Judge Seawell decides that the
term of Office of all notaries public is
four years from the date of their COM
mission. He held that notaires hold
office for four years under the act OF
1899, and that they are not removable
by the Governor. Since last fall Gov.
Gage has dismissed from office large
number of notaries and appointed
their cessors.
One of the discharged notaries ac-
knowledged deed which Recorder God
chaux refused to record. His attorneys,
Messrs. Oscar Sutro and Denman
brought suit, ending in the decision OF
Judge Seawell, as stated above. AS a
result of Judge Seawell's decision, the
validity of large number of deposi-
tions, deeds and other public docu-
ments will be questioned.

world, yet oE its o;iI1 stu0encs 2,OOJ
are reported as residents Of the State.

Public events that have come home
with peculiar force to the people of
this nation seem to call for repetition
Of the homely aphorism, Honesty is
the best policy" If there were no
Christian religion, if Thou shalt not
steal" had never been inscribed in holy
writ, the truth would still hold good
that the risk Of dishonesty Is out Of all
proportion to any possible gain. 1t is
said that most newspaper men are pes
simists-that they are, as class, cruel
and unfeeling. There may be some
thing in the charge. Their work brings
them in contact with so much that is
insincere, with so much Of misery, with
so much Of crime, that, unless they be
broad enough to understand that their
lives are narrow, they are prone to
think the world is made up Of these
things. But the newspaper man usually
learns early that honesty is the best
policy" Almost daily he comes in con-
tact with the hardship, the disgrace
and the misery that follow dishonesty
almost as surely as night follows the
setting sun. A trusted employe sudden
ly resigns" and when the reporter
comes to look into the facts he finds a
sorrowful employer, a crushed and pen
itent ex-employe and family, half
crazed with a grief that is worse than
death, imploring that nothing be print
ed Of the matter. Nothing appears about
it in the paper, Of course, but the young
man, "short in his accounts" never re-
covers from the blow. A building as
ISOLATION or bank has been looted by
it's managers, a commercial enterprise
has been wrecked by dishonest prac-
tices, in almost any Of the cases that
occur, always comes the same stagger-
ing load of sorrow and shame. We are
in the world to gain as much Of happ1-
ness as we can. Let any one look among
those he knows best and ask himself
who, among them, are the happy ones.
Invariably he finds them to be the ones
that have lived the best lives according
to the Christian code of marals.
Whether they be rich or poor seems to
make little difference in the sum of
happiness they are able to extract from
life. If their records be clean, If they
have nothing to be ashamed of, If they
possess the proud consciousness that
they have accomplished good in the
world, If they have the confidence and
respect Of those that know them, riches
beyond a comfortable competence can
make little difference in their happi-
ness.

HOW SHE WON FATHER.

The Old Man Was Amused at Her
Little Deceit.
This Piety hill family is rich, influen7
the parvenu. The daughter in question
has an admirer who pleases her. But
she is the only one in the whole domes7
tic circle who is under the spell Of his
attractions. He is fine fellow, perhaps
a bit too fine, for he has some very old
fashioned ideas and lives up to them!
The other day she had battle to have
him with them for dinner, says the De-
troit Free Press.
They had just begun to enjoy the
soup when he turned to the father and
efYusively thanked him for picture re-
ceived as birthday present. 1t was as
dainty and pretty piece Of work as he
had seen in long while, and it was
particularly welcome from her father.
All but one Of his hearers, father in
cluded, looked stunned. He cleared his
throat and, while sparring for time,
caught the eye Of the favorite daughter.
1t was shining, knowing, and command
ing.
"Ah, yes, yes; glad you liked it." And
the head Of the house deliberately
burned himself with the soup.
What was itY' And the mother
lowered the temperature Of the room
until the more timid shivered.
II presume it was a water color"
said the daughter, hurriedly. Some
thing pastoral, no doubt. George likes
such things. Dark frame, Of course"
"Guessed it the first time," smiled the
father.
"It was so good Of you," murmured
the visitor.
"You darling old popsy," she whisper
ed after dinner. II knew you'd under
stand. We never show him any kind
ness, so 1 just went down and bought
that picture and enclosed your card.
Isn't he gratefulY
1t tickled the Old gentleman. He felt
important and like a protector. Before
the family separated for bed he made
an emphatic announcement that the
daughter should marry any one she
wanted to and he would allow no inter-
ference.

The Steamer Alpha too Speedy for U. S.

tross, still signaling, followed at ten
knot gait, until the Alpha got clean
away. 1t is now said that the Alpha
will be seized the next time she enters
an American port. 1t is considered
unlikely that she will make another
attempt to land passengers or freight
at Nome this season. The round trip

that the rivalry which has esxisted for
many months between the California
Wine association and the firm of Lach-
man & jacob has become so intense
that it has eliminated in struggle

extends to both the dry and sweet wine

Irritation Of the Zip Causes Cancer.
Cancer of the lip," city physician
says. "is caused more frequently than
one would think by the toothbrush.
Let me illustrate this by typical case
which 1 am treating now. John Blank
smoked good deol, and to keep his
teeth white he cleaned them hard three
times O day with a brush whose bris-
ties were like wire. He brushed a
little patch Of skin from his lower lip.
Afterward he was careful, and the sore
spot healed. Bui then he forgot, and
the spot became sore again. This went
on a year or so. Two days out Of the
seven this one place in Blanks lip was
sore. Finally, it began to pain him.
it hurt him all the time; it smarted
even when apparently healed. He
would awake in the night with the
sharp pInching pain there, and the
pain was like the clutch of a crabs
cav, for he had cancer now-cancel
due to the irritation which he had APT

spot with his st'ff-bristled brush
