The death of the venerable Max Null
ler removes one of the most cOnspicu-
GUS figures from the world of scholar
ship. The fact that man whose
life. whose work. was primarily the
study of the language and literature
of the orient became.so widely known
to all classes was due to the breadth and
variety of his learning and his keen
interest in the relation of his studies
to modern life. Beginning as an ori-
entalist, he became professor of
modern languages at Oxford and q
master of English that he might have
the benefit of the support of the East
India company in his investigations
and the use OF the manuscripts of the
British museum. While devoted to his
special line of research, he advanced
to the position of professor of COM
parativc philology. which alone would
ordinarily tax the resources of man
of the shighcst ability. In the vast
range of his study in language and lit
erature Professor Muller found time
to put some of the results of his learn
ing into popular form. thus widely ex-
tending its benefits. He always took
81 lively interest in current events.
| often giving expression to his views
with practical good sense. Such life
and character lend a charm to pro-
found scholarship, which, associated
with different personal qualities. is apt
to appear unattractive.

a suit for damages OF much pubic in
tcrest is pending in the courts of Chi
cago. 1t involves the right of persons
whose property is injured by smoke
and SCOT to recover damages from the
owner of the smoking chimney which
is responsible for the injury. SO far as
Il jury in the original court OF entry can
do it, the question was decided by the
rendering of Il verdict for $1,000
against the owners of the New York
Life building in Chicago in favor of a
firm occupying offices in an adjacent
building. The plaintiffs in this case
showed that the dense clouds of smoke
and SCOT pouring from the chimneys of
the New York Life building had great
ly damaged the furniture and equip
ments of their offices, had actually
driven away clients and had made the
occupancy of their present quarters al
most an ilnpossibility. The case goes
ON appeal, and If the higher court shall
approve the Judgment it may greatly
hasten the solution of the smoke prob
| lem in Chicago and furnish precedent
| for legal action elsewhere. If real es-
tate owners are made to realize that
they will be held responsible for dam
ages done to adjacent property through
the negligence of their agents or enl-
ployees. they will be likely in self pres
ervation to see that proper precautions
are taken against the damages result
ant from the smoke nuisance.

A Pay Of Light

For woman's guidance is found in the
fact that DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton cures female weakness and the dis
eases of the delicate womanly organs
which darken the lives of so many wom-
en- with suffering and sorrow. That ray
of light has penetrated many darkened
chambers where women moaned in mis-
cry, and has guided them out to health
and happiness. wFavorite Prescription
is not tonic, not palliative, but pos
tive cure for the diseases which are
peculiar to women. 1t gives vigor and,
vitality. It banishes nervousness, head
ache, and all the aches which come from
diseased condition of the womanly
organs. A temperance medicine, it con-
tains neither alcohol nor narcotics.
uIwas troubled for three years with liberation
and female weakness and my doctor gave me
rs,t little relief,n writes Mrs Lulu Hunter, of
Attention, st. Louis Co., Mo. v! saw an adver-
tisement in the paper Of DR.. Pierces Favorite
Prescription. I began the use of it about year
ago. I took five bottles of it, and one bottle of
Golden Medical Discovery and my health is
better now than it was for years. i have also
recommended these medicines to some of my
friends, who suffered from female weakness,
and good results have followed"

Germany and venezuela.

The report which reached Washing
ton few days ago that there is pros
pect of deaf between Germany and
Venezuela which will result in the
transfer of coaling station or naval
base on the island of Margarita to Ger
many in satisfaction of certain claims
which Germany holds over Venezuela
naturally arouses American interests,
us 1t involves possible invasion of the
Monroe doctrine.
The claims of Germany are old ones
and, unfortunately, are continually ac-
cumulating. They represent the prof
it's which the Venezuelan government
guaranteed TO German investors who
provided the capital for the Transande-
an railway, which has never paid. Ne
gotiations have been undertaken in the
past for Il settlement of just this sort,
but nothing ever came of them. Trou-
BILE might have developed between the
two governments over the claims in
1895 had 1t not been for President
Cleveland's firm stand in opposition to
England's encroachments up0l Vene-
zuela, which made it inadvisable for
Germany to press the matter at that
time. The claims are undoubtedly en-
barrassing to Venezuela, but she should
find some means Of settling them other
than by n territorial grant.
1t is clear that this government, to
be consistent, would be obliged to pro-
test against Germany's acquisition Of
Venezuelan territory even II the latter
government gave it up voluntarily and
acting under no duress. There is am
pie precedent for such protest in con-
nection with the Monroe doctrine. This
government interviewed between Eng
land and Venezuela to prevent British
encroachments upon Venezuelan terri
tory, and it has even prevented tho
pressing of claims by other powers up
on South and Central American states
to the point of territorial seizures or
the grant of land indemnities.
While the matter has thus far appar-
emily taken not much more definite
form than rumor, it is well enough
for Germany to be given to understand
that it is decidedly against the policy
of this country to permit the alienation
of territory by the states south of it to
any European power or to allow any
such power to increase it's military
equipment in this hemisphere. especial
ly in the vicinity of the approaches of
the proposed Nicaragua canal.

ssThe plot is thickening." The
story that a land boom is almost upon
us is being verified every day. More
men wanting western land are max
ing inquiries than at any time during
the past dozen years; more new set
tiers are quietly locating in different
parts of the county than since the
period of the boom; nearly all the
local correspondents of The News
have two or three items each month
concerning newcomers who have pur-
chased land and moved their families
to the neighb orhood; and the prairie
schooners heaYe in sight tsevery oc-
casionally." although this is aot the
real season of the year for that kind
of trans portation. And to make
things better in this direction, the
time has come when the counties i'm
mediately east of us are almost over
flowing with population and there is
q wild scramble to gather up the small
portions of earth, while those who
have been there many years feel
crowded ana are looking to the
broader tracts of Ness and the coun-
try west to furnish them elbow room
