preciative audience. He was introduce
ed by Mr.. Holly G. Armstrong, presi-

The Colonel opened his lecture by a
striking portrayal Of the little Bavar-
ian village of Oberammergau and in a
very graphic manner described the
habits and mode of living of the inhab-
as to transport his listeners, as it were,
from the lecture room to the great
scene of the play.
In his description of a number of the
scenes, ne rose to a sublime degree of
%eloquence, in fact he held the immense
audience entranced from the very be-
ginning to the close and it can be truly
said, the lecture and it's effect on the
audience cannot be transferred to pa
per, for it abounded with beautiful and
brilliant thoughts and for nearly two
hours the audience sat enthralled by his
fine art of word painting and mastery

Play"
1t was a great lecture and grandly
delivered, and many of the audience
testified to their high appreciation OF
the same by coming forward at the
close of the lecture and congratulated
the Colonel.
Our people were indeed delighted n
the Colonel will always find a warm
welcome in Ripley. AUDITOR.

H r. RACE.

Sweetheart, quote you 10 scripture
And let me quote it wrong:
The race is to the swift,
And the battle to the strong!"
n there's no god will deliver
The bloodstained Right from Wrong,
And | know it as / shiver
In the silences of Song.
Lo, a throne of Light I made you,
In a palace grand and fair;
And with wondrous wreaths / laid you
In a living glory there.
And your souls light was as starlight
When the stars are waited long;
But the race was to the swift,
And the battle to the strong
To me. no world of wonder
q knew its cure-its clodsD
But you, Love. dared the thunder
OF the ungracious gods.
And heard in spring your singing,
And l knew your singing wrong,
For the race was TO the swift,
And the battle to the strong.
Said I: Here's Love that's Heaven
II shall light the dreary way:
Were no souls of God forgiven
They would drift through Low to day.
But | saw your pale lips CULVER,
And the sigh was in the song,
And the race was to the swift,
And the battle to the strong.
v.
And I saw the gray gulls flying
Over a shore!ees sea,
And l knew your kiss. when dying.
Was the last earth-kiss for me.
And | pray through tears and lonesome
years,
We shall meet where the kind loves
throng.
To beat down with . breath the gates Of
death
For the haxxle i for the strong.

WHO ARE RUNNING WEST POINT

WHO ARE fUINI .
Secretary Root his approved the &C
ton of the officers at West Point, which
recommended the dismissal of five
cadets and the suspension of six otherS
This is well, but the matter should not
be permitted to rest there, and it is
gratifying to hear that it probably will
not be.
For enforcing the regulations against
brutal hazing the cadets mutined
against Col. Mills, the superintendent of
the Academy, going so far as to threaten
him by training a field piece on the Col
onel's residence. For this, It is said,
eighty-three cadets are to be court
martialed and probably expelled. 1t is
believed in Washington that the War
department. favor most drastic measures
to restore discipline at West Point, and
that there will be no hesitation in sac
rlficing every one of the eighty-three
cadets if that end can be thereby pro-
NOTED and if they are guilty of the mis-
conduct charged to them.
1t is high time sweeping reforms were
made in the management of this insti-
tuition for the training of officers 70
command the American army. Disci-
pine is the first thing that should be
taught in that school. The country is
becoming heartily disguised with the
state of affairs there. And it is high
time it was made plain whether the
United States Military Academy is run
by the cadets or by the United States
government.

OFT ART.

Some features of our exorbitant tar
if laws are too much for even ]. P.
Morgan. On his recent European tour
the American Emperor of Finance pur-
chased the famous Mannheim art col
lection in Paris, with a view to bring
ing these wonderful works to the
United States.
But here the tariff stepped in and
said: NAY, nay; not a picture passes
the custom house unless you submit to
a hold-up almost equal to the cost of
the collection"
Rich as Mr.. Morgan is, he declined
to pay the enormous tariff imposed. Our
narrow-minded lawmakers, instead of
welcoming these superb specimens to
enrich our art galleries, for which pur-
pose Mr.. Morgan intended them, close
the door to them by levying a prohib-
itory fine on anyone bringing them
here.
The upshot is that we get the worst
c. it, and London gets the best of it,
since Mr.. Morgan proposes to place
this valuable art collection, barred out
of American art galleries, in the South
Kensington Museum of the British met
ropolis.
Maybe some able high tariffer will
enlighten us as to how this sort of thing
benefits the United States, or how it
protects" American art to compel
American artists to go to Europe to
study these great paintings. when they
might be studied in our own museums.

Council would better throw the citys
money in the river than expend 1t FOR
an election on a $500, 900 refunding or
dinance, which not only would be bad
ly beaten, as it has been twice before,
but would jeopardize important i'm
provements, the purchase of a munich
pal electric plant to supply consumers,
a new market house, a new work house.
etc. besides preventing the refunding
of the overdue $4,000 compromise
loan. A loan providing for all these
things can be ratified, but the people
would and should vote down a loan
that included the old and d~iscredited
scheme to refund the general city debt.

TREMENDOUS OUTPUT OF GOLD.

TREMENDOUS OUTPUT OF GOLD.
According to official advices from the
Canadian government, which charges

cleanup" for the Klondike region
this year will be about $50, 000, 900. The
first steamers from Dawson City and
Nome are expected to arrive at Seat

SIS, 600, 600 is looked for on the first
boats, and thereafter until the end
of August So, 900 900 to 81, 0OO,o 900 per
week will arrive at Pacific coast points.
1t is believed that this new basic
money will cut an important figure in
the stock markets, both in this country
and in Europe. Recent exports of gold
to England, France and Germany have
represented advances made by Ameri-
can bankers to their correspondents
and associates on the other side.
lin has on more than one occasion been
relieved by exports of gold from New
York. AS interest rates are again
reaching low points in the latter city.
it is believed that further exports will
be made soon. although there are as
yet no indications in the sterling ex-
change market.
When the Klondike and Alaskan pro-
duct is added to the output of gold
In the various Western States, the ag-

lance beneath the skin a fragment OF
the Presidents coat. This foreign
material was, of course. removed, but
a slight Irritation of the tissues was
produced. the evidence Of which only
appeared tonight. It has been neces-
sary. on account OF the slight disturb
ance. to remove a few stitches and
partially open the skin wound. This
incident cannot give rise to other
complications. but it is communicated
to the public, as the surgeons In at
tendance wish to make their bulletins
entirely frank In consequence of this
separation OF the edges of the surface

(From the San Francisco Eramiaer.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. Attorney
General Knox has determined to sus-
tain Judge A. S. Humphreys of Homo
lulu, who took bold stand against
the Chinese slave girl traffic in the
Hawaiian Islands. The Bar Associa-
ton of Honolulu has asked that Judge
Humphreys be removed on charges,
most of which are regarded as trivial.

jects to Judge Humphreys making ex-
amples OF rich men who would not sit
on Juries, making attorneys wear coats
out Of respect to the bench. etc. II Is
also alleged against the Judge that
be ran partisan Republican news
paper which did not suit the Dole gov
eminent or the persons who were be-
hind the Chinese and Japanese slave
girl traffic.
Attorney General Knox has heard
the case and, il is said, would have re-
ported adversely today to the Bar AS
sociation. but more time was asked by
the complainants. Five days have been
granted. during which II Is patent that
no further evidence can be obtained
against Judge Humphreys.
Judge Humphreys fled an elaborate

which is that in which he shows the
Attorney General that one Of the main
charges against him is that he tried
to break up the infamous traffic in
slave girls. whereby officials under the
Dole government made vast sums Of
money every year.
