MEETS LADY CUNARD.
Before the Owner of StsaA. boat Line.

Lady Bache Cunard, of London, ha, had her first experience with a Nev York policeman and she did not com, out second best. The policeman ex plains it by saying there never would have been any trouble if he hat known anything about it before ant he hopes he will be able to keep hi detail to the pier. Lady Cunard wen down to the Cunard Line pier to mee her husband and little daughter, wh. were passengers on the Umbria, jus arriving. As the vessel was being warped into the dock she pressed for ward eagerly and the act caught tn. eye of an elderly policeman.
 "Yell have to get back" he shout ed at her, but her ladyship simply drew herself together and stared haughtily at him. He approached and the noblewoman became mort naughty.
 "Fellow," she said freezingly. "wha do you mean by such impertinence?
 ''Impertinence, is it?" was the an swer. "Move back, now! Don't b. trying to bluff."
 'I shall take your number, officer am Lady Bache Cunard."
 "Ho! Ho! Ho. Lady Cunard- own the Cunard line, suppose? Move back!"
 Just then high official of the lin. approached. doffed his hat and bowed The policeman shivered and his eye. began to project.
 'Is it Lady Cunard?" he whispered in an awe-struck voice.
 ''Sure," was the cold answer.
 Do she really own the Cunart line?"
 Most of it." was the answer.
 twill you kindly take me to the eni of the pier and kick me overboard?"
 For the rest of the stay there ht guarded her ladyship so zealously tha, when a man turned around to stare al him he threatened to hit him with hii stick and arrest him for disorderly conduct.

SECURE OIL FIELDS CHEAP.
Clains on Idle PetrolsaA Lanas.

The petroleum district about Rosalia is stirred by the ling of placer claims covering a large area of government land contiguous to farms on which the best petroleum and gas indications have been found. This Ian is known as "scab" land. has been untillable and has lain idle for years. because nobody would pay the taxes The problem has been solved by score of Spokane min CTS, who took the fields up as placer claims. thereby securing control of a vast acreage. which is undoubtedly un- derlaid with petroleum. Miners pro- pose to do only enough work to hold the title and will await developments on adjoining lands to determine the value of their holdings.

FIND GREAT COPPER VEIN.
4 Discovery h Pr1ssia May Cat Down the Importation from
 America.

Enormous copper deposits have been found near Allendorf, in Prussia. Ex- perts estimate the size of the vein at about 7l,O00 square meters. An andy sis has shown that the freshly discov- cred ore contains one per cent. more pure copper than that mined from the Marsfeld mines in Saxony. The vein will not be exhausted for 25 years, &C., cording to present indications, and the shaft-sinking will be far less costly than is usually the case.
 It is believed on all sides that this dis covery will seriously affect the Ameri- can copper importations.

SUBSTITUTE FOR BENZINI.
GerHany ORSrs . PPemAuA of Two Hundred aAA Fifty Dollars for
 Such aa APtAAlo,

Consul Hughes, at Coburg, Germany, reports to the state department that for years a substitute for benzine has been in demand. The objectionable points about ,benzine are its high in- fammablity and volatility, the danger of poisoning the atmosphere, etc. This was one of the chief topics of discus sion at Hanover, and this fall the sub ject came up once more at the meet ing at Cassel, when a premium of about $25O was offered for an effectual sub stitute for benzine, or for means of rendering it less dangerous. Here is a good chance for American genius.

KAISER INTERESTED.
Has Great Faith In Future of the
 Electric Railroad.
Believes That Elestsicity Must ia the Years to Come Bs the Mo- tive Power of PaAsSAe
 IeP TraiAA.

Emperor William is interesting him. self actively in the development of elec- tric traction on ordinary railways. He has been watching during the past few months the excellent results achieved by heavy electric trains between Der lin and Zehlendorf. and as result of his observations he has been discussing with Privy Councillor Rathenau. to is director of the Allgemeine Electricians Gesellschaft, the possibility of revolu tionizing the present system of trac tion. His majesty is convinced that electricity must in the future be the motive power of passenger trains, espe' cially express trains, between Ber,ir and the other German and European capitals. He thinks, however. tha, steam might for the present be retained for freight and local trains.
 Herr Rathenau has issued repor' by request of the emperor, in which he states that some of the lead'rc indus trial and financial firms. inc.ucing Sic mems & Halske and krupp, of Essen have founded a studien gesellscha it un der the chairmanship of Dr. Schulz president of the imperial railway bureau, to investigate the problem This syndicate has appointed a tech. nica. committee. of which HerreI Slaby and Rathenau are presidents, anC a subcommittee to deal with the details of traffic. architecture and mechanics These will examine data,and confer.
 It is expected that the result of theil labors will be the estab.,shment during 1901 of so-called li2 ling service or the military line iron Herin to Zossen which Gen. von Gossler, minister O: war, has placed at the syndicate's dis posal for purposes of exr sriment.

The Allgemeine electricitats gesellschafI and Siemens & Halske are each building an experimental car, which generally resembles the ordinary European sleeping car. If the experiments sue ceed on the Berlin-Zossen line. which i only about 30 kilometers long, it is in tended to start quarter or half hou: service between Berlin and Hamburg The distance will be covered in rathe: less than an hour.

nit Reports Of Steamer Lanes
Between Hawaii and Mainland.

The traekless pathways between
Honolulu and Mainland points have
been pronounced free OF incumbrzuc-
es or obstruction b. the authorities
at Washington.
Captain Todd, chief photographer
Of the navy. states that he has recent
ly received reports from the com
manders Of sixty vessels. including
warships. military transports. and
merchant steamers. giving the CRAFTY
ing information that there is not a
single menace TO navigation within
the steamer lanes across the Pacific
ocean established about a year ago
under plans prepared at the Navy lie
partment- These lanes are about thir-
y miles wide and connect San Fran
cisco with Honolulu. Guam. Nagasaki
and Manila and the ports of PnSst
sound with Honolulu. Guam and Ma
gasaki. According to the reports re
ceiyed at the Navy Department these
important commercial routes are en-
tirely free from distractions.
II is understood that Captain Todd
in his next annual report. viii make a
strong argument in fayer of a through
and more comprehensive survey of
the Pacific ocean for the special bene-
fit of the rapidly growing American
commerce on that extensive highway.
Congress will be asked TO make a
special appropriation to fit out a ship
for that purpose. IL is expected that
this government will have the substan-
tial cooperation of Japan. Great Brit
ain and Germany in this undertaking
those countries being almost equally
interested with the United States in
the subject.

1t Understands the Compact.

From the San Francisco Argonaut.
The quarrel between the govern
or and the Territorial circuit judge
of Hawaii is doubtless by many
believed to be personal matter.
But another and similar story comes
from the islands concerning the treat
ment of Judge NJ NJ Estee, United
States district Judge. The impress
sion has been sedulously fostered by
by the Dole government that Circuit
Judge Humphreys it a ruffian and
fire-eater. But Judge Estee is too
well known in California to have any
false impression concerning his char
acter prevail here Yet he has met
with exactly the same contumelious
spirit in his courtroom as did Judge
Humphreys. When Humphreys sent
three leading Dole attorneys to Jail
for contempt they were at once par
doned by the Dole government. One
of them appeared before Judge Estee
subsequently and attempted TO run
matters in Estee's court with high
hand. Judge Estee rebukei him
sharply. threatening him with COM
mitment for contempt, and informed
him that II sent 10 Jail by order OF

met with refusal to honor the order
from the department at Washington.
Judge Estee ordered the United States

keys. A special agent had to come
from Washington and enforce the

Religious Journalism in England and

The essential disadvantages of re-

attributed to amphibious animals in

that can't live on the land and die in
the water" II is not really at home
either in the church or in the world !.
In ecclesiastical circles it is seldom
that the editor of a religious paper
is thought of as exerting an influence
equal to that of the occupant of a
leading pulpit. or that his work re-
ceiyes such sympathy and cooper
alton as are given to a missionary
society. On the other hand, a journal
of this type, though duly entered in
press directory. differs as widely
from an average newspaper in its
aims. its methods, and its limitations
as a ministers social union from a
club of literary Bohemians. To his
clerical brethren the editor of a
church paper seems scarcely more
than layman, while secular journal
lists regard him as very much of an
amateur. The fact is that his task
demands rare combination of spiritu-
al fervor and professional skill. He
must be in close touch with the most
significant reugious forces of his time
and must also possess a high devel-
opment Of the journalistic instinct
