That people is best governed which is
least governed, and the multiplication
of laws will not regulate the moral con-
ditions of any man. Government is made
at the fireside of the home and in the
public schools. Pure homes are the safe.
guard of nation and the strong bull
wark of its defense.

SAVES LIFE AT SEA.
Automatic System Of Signaling to
Prevent Wrecks.
The Secret of wireless TeIegraphy Il
Utilized in Warning Vessels
Seven Miles from Shore Of
Dangerous Coast Line.

An invention which is expected to
be of much value in the prevention OF
shipwrecks was shown the other day
at South End-on-Sea, London, before
the marine authorities and navigators
They were all much struck by the pos.
sibilities of that invention.
It is an automatic system of signal
ing. and will warn ships of their ap-
proach to dangerous rocks and coasts
in all weathers when fashlight might
not be seen and the boom of the fog
horn might be unheard.
A metallic conductor is fixed on an
elevation ashore or a ightship or a
reef or lighthouse. From this etheric
waves are transmitted over a zone
which has a radius of seven miles. All
vessels within that area fitted with re-
ceivers are warned of their proximity
to danger. A bell rings and the re-
ceiving instrument records the name of
the place which is being approached.
The automatic part of the machine
consists of steel bearings, with num-
Der of teeth which pass over a Morse
transmitter. No operators are needed
at all. The machine works automati-
cally. In its elementary principle the
system resembles Marconi's wireless
telegraphy, but in detail the system
is essentially different
syndicate is already taking up
the invention, which Will shortly be put
on the market.

HAS A LESSER CHINESE SEAL,
Trophy Taken from Peking Held by
Fred Weitzenberg, of San
Jose, Cal

A story from San Jose, Cal, which
has been given wide circulation saws
that Fred Weitzenberg has in his pos
session the great imperial seal of
China. AS the loss of the seal has
been put forward as one of the rea-
sons why the Chinese government was
unable to give official significance to
its edicts- and orders some OF Weitzen-
berg's friends have supposed that he
was the man responsible for tying up
tie kingdom of the dragon.
What the San Josean has is one of
the jade seals lifted at the time the
foreign devils" visited the Imperial
city. 1t is not, however, the great i'm
perial seal of the emperor, for that
is OF pure gold. The empress dowager
and every member of the imperial
household has several seals. the insie-
MIA of office, and necessary to the ex-
.ercise Of various powers in different
directions. All these seals are of Jade
and are exceedingly valuable

BRITAIN LOSING TRADE.
Manufacturer Warned to Beware
of Industrial COmpe-
tit!Dn,

To the disappoin.ments of war time,
which are keenly felt when the Christ
mas season is approaching and over
100000 soldiers are fighting across
seas, is added the increasing pressure
of taxation and industrial competi-
ton. The trade journals of England
are making great ado over the sue
cess of American manufacturers in
undertaking their British rivals in
tenders for the Urganda railway
bridges.
This industrial incident has created
a strong impression, since it indicates
that the expansion of the British en-
pire and the opening of new markets
tend to promote American Industries.
British iron ant steel manufacture
ers are warned by their own trade
journals that they must arouse them
selves without delay, unless they are
prepared to lose their foreign mar

that Americans and Germans are max

NOT UNITED STATES CITIZENS
Ruling of Treasury Department At
fectins the Standing of Certain
Wealthy Cinnamon in Hawaii

A treasury department ruling in
the matter of Chinese citizenship has
created excitement and surprise
among the Chinese population here
1t declares that the Chinese who were
naturalized citizens of the republic
of Hawaii did not become American
citizens by virtue of the provisions of
the territorial act. Section four of
that act declares that call persons
who were citizens of the republic of
Hawaii on August 12, 1899, are here
by declared to be citizens of the
United States"
Under this section citizens of the
late republic were supposed to be
Americans and they were allowed to
vote. The question arose here when
some of the supposed American cit
liens wanted to leave Hawaii for the
United States. Collector Stackable
wrote to Washington and received the
new ruling on the goth of last month.
The number of Chinese affected by
the ruling is small, but they are most
ly wealthy merchants.

Complications in Disposing of an Es-

Eldest Son His Heir.

Jarad Marks, a farmer who lived near

an estate valued at about $54 ,Go0 He
left a will in which he stated that his
heirs, except his eldest son, should re-
ceive a certain sum each more proper

New York provided. He bequeathed
all the rest and residue of his estate to

tate if the expected child should be a

AS he was without children at the
time the will was made, November Is

inserted to act in case male twins were
born. At the time the will was made
Marks was i'll with cancer of the stom-

He morally expressed the desire that
his estate should be kept intact SO far
as possible, and descend to the eldest
son forever. He requested that his name
also should descend to the eldest son
in the same manner as the estate.
Mrs. Marks gave birth to twin sons

babies were so much alike that even
the mother could not tell them apart.
The nurse. Mrs. Bertram, of Canaan

noon. She was dressing the one sup

citement over the discovery the posi-
tion of the babies was changed, and a
moment later the nurse could not tell
the children apart, nor could the moth

LITIGATION OVER WIND CAVE.
The Famous Black Hills Spot May
Become National Re-

The famous Wind cave of the Black
Hills, near Hot Springs, S. D., over
which there has been so much contro-
-versy for some time, is to be examin ed
by special agent and geologist sent
out by the government to find out as
to whether or not the property is to
be set apart by the government as a
national reserve. In the report of the
secretary Of the interior fattering
made.
Two lawsuits have sprung up over
this ground and have been heard in the
local land Office in Rapid City. The
first was that of the Wind Cave COM
pany against Elmer Mcdonald, involv-
ing homestead entry, and the second
was against Jesse d. Mcdonald by the
South Dakota Mining company. also
involving homestead entry In the
first case the local land office held that
good faith had been shown by Nc
Donald in his holding of the ground.
and it was recommended that the entry
be perpetuated. In the second case it
was decided that the ground was not
a mineral bearing property, and, as
Jesse Mcdonald had not shown good
faith, it was decided that his home
stead entry be Cancelled. 1t was also
suggested that the property might be
OF value to the government as re-
serve.
Both eases were then appealed to
the commissioner of the general land
office, whose decision was the same as
that OF the local land office. and again
the cases were appealed to the secre-
tary of the interior. In the case of
Elmer Mcdonald the secretary re-
versed the decision, but in the case of
the Dakota Mining company against
Jesse Mcdonald he sustained the find
lngs OF the commissioners and the To-
cal land office. It was then ordered
that the ground be gone over thorough
~ by an expert geologist.

COOS. j. H. West and Steve Bedell, of
Needles, are the owners of the mines
and they have been at work on them
for the past two years. Recently they
encountered large bodies Of high grade
ores and many mining men have been
looking at them with view to pur-
chase, but ii remained for Tom Ewing
to make the most flattering offer and
the owners accepted. 5.000S cash was
paid down, the other payments to
cover about one years time. These
mines are among the old properties of
the San Francisco district and we're
worked years ago, when the Moss mine
was first discovered. The fact that
they we're practically inaccessible at
that time made their working almost
impossible and they passed from one
locator to another many times until
they were purchased by Messrs. Be

roads into that section brought theu
within easy reach and they are now Il
