NoTF- from THE STATE CAPITAL.


MADISON, WIS, July 20.
Last Wednesday evening the new
Baptist church, dedicated last Octo-
Der was struck by lightning and
burned to the ground. Loss on the
building and furniture is estimated
at $4,000, with insurance amounting
to 5000.
The city pest house was burned
one night last week. 1t is believed
that people in the vicinity Of the hos
pital started the fire. There were no
patients in the house.
Madison will have another carni-
val, the council having voted to grant
the use of the streets for it.
The first person To announce him
self rs candidate for office on the
republican state ticket at the next re-
publican state convention, is II. p.
Fully, a Scandinavian Of Hayward.
He comes out as candidate for
state treasurer.
There was conference here lately
among some of the leading demo-
Gratis of the state with view to
bringing out eX- Congressman Burr
w. Jones as their candidate for gov
ernOr at the next state election. The
argument used in favor of Jones is,
that he is strong with all clements of
the party, having .bolted Bryan in
1886, and taking the stump for the
same candidate in 1900.
The voting machine commission,
which was created by the last legis-
lature, met in the capital last Satur-
day night and effected an organiZa-
ton. The commission will meet the
first Saturday in September and once
"A month thereafter. At these meet
ings the commission will examine
and investigate the merits of the
voting machine of any company.

The department, as we'll as the city Of

Dodge, from the Pasig River and tide
water canals throughout the different
sections of the city; also from hydrants
from the city reservoirs. The new fire

Since 1851, when the America cup
was won in English waters, there have
been twelve unsuccessful contests for
its recovery. The most of the con-
tests have been very spirited and the
English challengers-whow wanted to get
the trophy back-haye spent much
money and energy in the effort. They
have built new boats. They have eX-
perimented with new sailing masters
and crews. They have applied all the
means at their command to defeat an
American yacht in the struggle for pos
If English skill in naval architecture
should not at some time plan and build
a better boat than American science
could produce. 1t is not improbable
that the Shamrock Ii. is a better craft
than the Columbia. But the American

English sailors. Their yacht was better

Columbia's sails with its advantages.
This could not have been altogether be-
cause American waters were new To
English sailors and that they were not
familiar with the local drift of winds
and currents. The America won the
first international race in English wa
tiers. There cannot be so much differ
ence between the weather conditions
on one side of the Atlantic and on the
other side as to seriously handicap the
management of either vessel. This

has made such an impression that a
change of crews and vessels for a new
race has been suggested. 1t Is talked
about in England. 1t would be a great
test of seamanship as we'll as a test of
the yachts. If the yachts should change
crews for this experiment some time for
practice would be required by both
sides, but they ought to try it. 1t might
result in the solution of a great infer.

A BALLAD CT WHITE FINGERS.

Her fingers stray along the frets,
Her fingers wander DER the strings;
A little while my heart forgets
Its griefs and cares and petty stings.
The mir is filled with rustling wings
Forgot are folly, wrong and sin,
ma earth seems made for happier
things
She plays upon her mandolin!
Her fingers fly along the frets.
Her fingers dance along the strings.
Courage. my SOUL Though strife besets,
Stand firm, whatever fortune brings,
Heir to the ages, peer of kings!
High over the turmoil, dust and din,
The clarion call of Honor rings
She plays upon her mandolin.
Her fingers dream along the frets,
They linger lightly er the strings;
What spell is woven in the nets
OF meshed melody she filings!
A burning tear unbidden springs;
Old hopes, loves, dreams-all dwell
within
That dying music's whisperings-
She plays upon her mandolin.
Prince at the gate of Paradise

If still without, with Turing eyes,
She played upon her mandolin!

| W. u. Howells recently declared that
reading has become for many people a
craze even a vice, rather than an in
| tellectual gain. They read too much,
too fast, too promiscuOusly, and they
think and talk too little. Such reading
replaces undesirably even gossip, which
may be, and often is, Il bad thing, but
ought to be, and can be, a good one.
Good felton," Mr.. Howells asserts, lis
only an exquisite dlstillation of human
facts, which biography and history
more and less attractively embody; and
all three are gossip depersonalized by
remoteness of time or place" He adds
that there is no reason why our own
spoken gossip might not be such as to
produce the effect of ''all that is charm
ing and edifying in these forms of liter
ature." Here Is the opportunity for a
new fine art! Since we do, naturally,
talk about our neighbors, why not
study how to do so fifty and finely,
rather than intrusively and pettily? No
manual of gossipry is yet published.
but when The Perfect Gossip" does
issue from the press, it will contain
some advice quite easy to anticipate.
Its first page will forbid prying, de-
probation, malice and mockery. 1t
will recommend the cultivation of char
ity and sense of humOr, the study Of
character, and of graceful and uneXag-
gerated expression. Criticism it may
tolerate as a wholesome social infu-
ence, but criticism will itself be criti-
cised and discredited at the least suspi-
cion of haste or harshness. Good and
graceful acts, noble, charming or odd
characters graphically portrayed, will
