time to read his own letter, but little was needed. The dainty note when opened contained but the single word:
 Don't"
 That night in the crowded station at Oakland pier the home going Washoes seemed bent on raising the roof. Two special trains were there to whirl them away to the mountains. Their few be- longings were stored aboard, but the word had passed that Langdon was there to see them off, and the rascals wouldn't go. Out they piled on the platform, shouting like mad, and sur rounded him in tumultuous acclaim. They had hoisted him on a baggage truck, and there was only one way to silence their clamor. That was to speak. On the gallery and staircase stood throng of people-men, women and children-sympathet witnesses of the stirring scene. Melville and his wife in their midst, Ethel Grahame, with flushed cheeks and shining eyes and with hands that trembled as they clasped the rail, bending forward as though she would not lose a word. In- stinctively and as of old the Washoes hushed at his uplifted hand.
 ''I could not speak to you today" he said. T cannot do you justice now. Your faith, your loyalty, your-yes, dare say it-your affection, prize be- yond all power of words to tell you, and the sorrow of parting would choke my utterance did I not know that we who have served so closely together as soldiers in the year gone by are to live together as friends and comrades and fellow citizens of beloved state, please God, for many year to come"
 Another uproarious cheer broke in upon and drowned his words. Railway

that he has scarcely tolerated the lit tie Dutch dogs presence.
 The Intrepid returned to Tebo's basin, Brooklyn, the other day, after a splendid cruise, beginning at New York on April z, to the south and Havana. During the cruise Capt. Phoenix conceived the idea of dec orating the yachts favorite mascot with valuable gems. So he pierced the little dogs ears with gold needle and inserted waxed silk thread. At the end of each shank is a gold screw cap, which is screwed up until it forms clamp on the in side of the ear.
 Skip did not take very kindly to his ornaments at first, but he is proud of them now

Lloyd Phoenix's little Dutch dog Skipperine, called Skip for short, is probably the first dog to boast of a $2,ooo pair of three-carat diamond earrings.
 Skip has lived for seven years aboard Capt. Phoenix's smart and fast yacht Intrepid. The little black dog is not more than five inches high. Another dog named Creek also sails on the Intrepid. He is brindle French bulldog.
 Since Skip has worn the diamond earrings Creek has been so jealous

THE FAIREST METHOD
OF PARTY ORGANIZATION

A great many Democrats who never
vote except under the rooster stayed at
home because they couldn't scratch, and
thought conditions mixed. A straight
square primary next time will bring
them all out.-Hickman Courier
What assurance can you give that the
primary nominees will be satisfactory to
the people: The fact of the matter is
that the people are tirlng of primaries
and conventions, still from a party
standpoint. they are necessary evils.
Conventions are never conducted with
fout trickery becoming a part of them
and Usually the officers who conduct a
primary election are SO partisan to
some of the candidates that they permit
the stuffing of the primary ballot box,
as has been done in this county time
and time again. There is no means to
thwart the sharp politician. except on
the direct vote of the people, aud this
would be menacing 10 the party having
two or more candidates in the field
while the weaker party could consOli
dafe on party man and elect him,
where the vote OF the county or district
was about half of the stronger party,
and in nearly all races the politics of
the candidate is considered.-Col
Critic.
The Critic sets forth the real facts,
and yet some method of party organic
alton is absolutely necessary. The
crafty and designing may for a time
deceive the people and carry elections
but it is equally certain that in their
own time and own way the people will
rise in their power and rebuke dIshon-
est methods, The fairest method of
of party organization Is 10 hold a legal
party primary at the regular election
under the control of the regular election
officers. For instance where two or
more democrats are candidates, let a
democrat vote under the party device,
and when the election officers foot up
the vote let the law compel them to
give all the democratic vote TO the dem
ocratic candidate having the highest
number, his marking under the deyice
proving that he prefers either of the
democratic candidates over any other
opponents. TIE same rule applying to
the Republican or any other party or
ganization. Objections can be urged to
this or any other method, but it more
nearly approaches fair, honest express
sion of the voice OF the people than Ell
Their conventions or irresponsible prima-
~ elections

THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH.

Bryan's Commoner: 1t was to have
been expected that Northern papers
would wax wroth and grow bitterly
sarcastic i'll replying TO Southern
structures upon the President for en-
tertaining Booker L. Washington at
Dinner But the Southern papers are
replying by asking some pertinent
facts. They point out the fact that
Northern love for the negro is confined
to election day. How many business
offices In the North employ negro clerks?
How many negro traiumen are employ
ed on Northern railroads? How many
negroes have been appointed to post
masterships in the North? How many
Northern States have elected negro
Senators or Congressman? How many
negro mechanics are employed in North
ern mills and factories alongside white
mechani's 5: North the negro is limited
TO the position of porter in hotels and
on trains, or TO waiterships in hotels and
aud restaurants. Is there a negro limo
type operator on any of the great daily
newspapers OF the North that is so
roundly denouncing the South for its
attitude toward the Roosevelt WASH
ington dinner incident? Does any one
of these Northern Republican newspa-
pers employ negro pressman, a negro
city editor. Some of these days the
negro will realize that he has nothing
to gain from the alleged friendship OF
men who seek to use him for political
purposes only.

Oil as Fuel on Steamers.

The use of crude petroleum as fuel
for the generation Of steam on large
ocean craft has had a practical proof
of its value and adaptability in the voy-
age Of the steamship Cowrie from Bor-
neo to London, a distance Of about TO-
600 miles. The method adopted on the
Cowrie was to atomize the crude oil at
the mouths of the furnaces by blowing
1t into the fires in the form of spray by
means of steam jibs, and in this way a
complete combustion of the fuel was
obtained. A comparison was made with
the old system of coal fuel on this ship,
with the result that there was found to
be a saving of over 40 per cent in the
weight of fuel day, and by the reduc-
ton of work in firing with oil fuel the
complement Of firemen was reduced
from sixteen to six. The space occupied
by a ton of oil as compared with the
same weight of coal was much less, be-
ing thirty-four cubic feet for the former
to forty-two cubic feet for the latter
the coal being bituminous. There are
considerable quantities of oil fuel to be
found in Borneo, and it is said to be
superior to any yet found in Russia or
the United States.

Astute Dan Lamont.

During the recent Northern Pacific
corner report was printed in all the
papers that eX-Secretary Daniel La
mont had given ex-President Cleveland
the tip to buy, and that Mr.. Cleveland
had prof1ted to the extent of several
hundred thousand dollars by the infor-
nation. The story Of how Lamont first
won Cleveland's confidence and rose
through Mr.. Cleveland's favor and his
own ability from the position of a pri-
vate secretary of the Governor to a
place in the Presidents Cabinet Is an
interesting one.
When Mr.. Cleveland was nominated
for Governor, Lamont was connected
with the State Democratic Committee.
He had never met Mr.. Cleveland. Evil
IDENTIFY he saw great possibilities in Mr..
Cleveland's career, for he determined
to win his friendship. Every night he
wrote out a report upon the political
situation in the State, based upon the
latest information which had come to
the committee, and mailed the report to
Mr.. Cleveland at Buffalo. When Mr..
Cleveland was elected Governor he
chose Lamont for his private secretary
over many aspirants On the day of
the Inauguration Mr.. Lamont asked the
Governor what time he would expect
him at the executive mansion the next
morning.
ooh, long about 9 O'clock" said the
Governor. When Lamont went home
that evening he told his wife to see that
breakfast was ready at 1870. He was
at the executive mansion at 8 o'clock.
81 had not been in more than ten
minutes" says Mr.. Lamont, in telling
the story, when in walked the Gov.
ernor."-New York Times.

The brutality of Man.

A correspondence full of eloquence
and a speaking moral has been brought
to light by a trade journal in st. Paul
The lady received the first letter, and
it read thus:
"Dear Madam: 1 take pleasure in
shipping to your address a rug valued
at $50, for which l shall be glad to re-
ceive your check. If you do not desire
the rug please return 1t. Very sincere
ly, and so forthP'
"The ideap' exclaimed the indignant
woman, and thereupon she sat down
and indited the following reply:
Dear Sir: 1 have ordered no rug
from your establishment, and l see no
reason why l should go to the expense
of returning that which do not want.
and which was sent to me unsolicited"
To this complaint she received the
following gently sarcastic rejoinder:
Dear Madam: l will send for the
unsolicited rug, and 1 trust you will
do me the favor to send for the unso-
licited charity tickets which now lie
with about twenty-eight others on my
desk. Very sincerely, and so FORTH
''The discourteous boorl" shrleked the
lady.

cackled, Just look at his feetw The

tremities. Just look at his feetr" is
not an uncommon expression to-day.

Few of the social changes wrought
greater than is the change in the tests
applied to the ministers of city
churches Not many years ago the
candidate" for a city pastorate was
judged, as was the country parson,
chiefly by the soundness of his doctrine,
by his spirituality and by his eloquence.
1t is hardly too much to say that all
these qualifications are now more or
less subordinate to new tests. Not one
of them is obsolete, or can be neglected.
No minister who sows the seeds Of
doubt instead Of those of faith, no one
whose soul is not in his work, no one
who lacks the art of attracting men
and women by the grace or the power
of his oratory, can be an acceptable
pastor. But the one indispensable re-
uuirement now is that he have large
executive ability. He must know how
to organize his people, and to keep
their organizations well in hand, sc
that they shall not conflict with each
other or with him. To glance at the
calendar of a city church is to dis.
cover organization on organization
wheels within wheels, societies, guilds
classes and associations for all sorts OF
purposes, religious and philanthropic
How to guide the choice Of A as chair
man of this, and B as secretary of that
and C as the head of the other, and to
see to it that all the letters of the alpha
bet find the place where they can dc
| the most with the least friction-this
taxes the brains and patience Of the
twentieth century minister. In the
case Of Constitutional churches" the
problem is still more complex. Herr
mission leagues, employment bureaus
lecture courses, cooking schools, even
ing classes in French or bookkeeping
reading rooms, loan associations, rec
reation rooms and other devices fol
promoting the welfare Of the peopl,
form q part Of the church machinery
and the pastor is the chief executive
with a staff of assistants. One sucl
church in New York requires a pam
phlet of three hundred pages merely t,
catalogue and describe these activities
If these multiplied organizations de
tract somewhat from the tranquility o
spiritual life, at least they bring tn,
church into contact with humanity ant
its needs at many points, and so en-
large its possibilities of usefulness.
