Upton AND NEWSPAPER MEN.

CIR THOMAS Upton has been talking to the Lon
don News about his last visit to America, and, as
- usual the genial Britisher passes bouquets around
ad lib In one marked respect Sir Thomas differs from
the average Englishman. He likes the newspaper men
of the United States There Is realty no reason why ne
shouldn't for the reporters and the editors through
ot the country have united in saying pleasant things
about the man who didn't lift the cup
That Sir Thomas appreciates Che eourtesies extend
ed him Is manifest by his to inquiry as to
whether he saw much Of the American newspaper men,
II was: Often interviewed by twenty or thirty
at once. 1 never met nicer lot OF boys than the
American press men. 1 have heard good deal about
the worries of being interviewed IN New York, but
think have been as much in with them any
man from this side of the water, and could not ind
fault with one of them if I tried They have always
acted as perfect gentlemen to Many time they
have been told things that would have been really good
thing they would not 1t. They are as gentlemany
a lot of fellows ever have met
In the same interview Upton says he is going to
try again for the cup and with the instinct of the true
sportsman assigns his for previous failures
the fact that he didn't have the better boat Upton
reminds the people of the United States of his prede
cessor in the cup-ftng business-because he's So diff
ferent.
Lord Dunraven was about deficient IN the points
that 60 to make Up gentleman any foreigner who
ever invaded our shores. He what IS known among
sporting men as "a hard loser 1t was Dunraven who
went waing back home that he mad beer defeated by
tricery he accused his opponents of half the crimes
in the calendar and made himself thoroughly disliked
on both sides of the water.
Upton is his exact antithesis. It seems strange,
too, from the English standard. Here Is Dunraven,
who born gentleman, according to the theory OF
our cousins across the sea- Yet he doesn't even come
close to living the part. Upton born outside the
pale of society that IS poor and laborer. Today in
all that goes to make up man, he Is far ahead of
Dunraven that they should not be mentioned III the
same twenty-foUr LOurs.
Now Dunraven is a member of the Royal Ulster
Yacht club Upton was blackballed when he sought
admission even though his sponsor King Edward
VII then Prince of Wales. Birth, not breeding, IS
the standard in England but the time may not be far
distant when this order is reversed.

served, and lighter than had already been melted out
at the hands Of the Chinese themselves"
This IS interesting, IN view of the statement made
by DR.. NeveH, a distinguished Asiatic traveller in
recently published interview. Dr. Neven visited Pekn
soon after the siege was raised He says he saw SO
few signs of the destruction for which he had prepared
his mind that he made inquiries of one of the
ministers. Great his establishment when be learned
that the legation house had been fred upon, al
though the Chinese had every opportunity to do So
lie learned, further that single member of the
beseged party was killed or died Of disease throughout
the trouble.
What, then, does Missionary Reid mean when he
inflicted by the Boxers He certainly aude to his
injured feelings. 1t is hardly becoming in whose
duty 1t is to preach peace and good viii to give ut
terance to the retrbution doctrine If Mr.. Reid viii
look through the New Testament he viii find that the
good man foFglves his enemy seventy times seven.
There may have been too much pilaging of real
friendly non-combatants" Mr. Reid admits 'but there
also if anything, little con6scation Of the prop
ery of those not only active In the war but responsible
for ourages too awful to imagine. but too serious to
be forgotten. Such statements these are not apt
to help Mr.. Reds To steal from ones enemy
as bad to steal from ones friends, particularly if
the aYowed purpose of being in that enenys country
Is to civilize and Christianize him.
1t Is of the hardships of war that the conquered
country must furnish subsistence for its c0nquerors
but beyond that civilized warfare doesn't go. No
amount of justification from Mr. Reid viii condone his
oense; he must always be considered an unworthy ex
ponent of the nobest of Certainly his useful
ness as missionary has reached It's limit.

BREAKING UP OLD IDEAS.

OF A Verify "Old things shall pass away and all
| things shall become new" Structures we have
y carefully erected with much toll and patience,
with much suffering, mayhap, are being daily, yes,
and gayly, dashed to the ground these days by the
brutal hand of science. For years and years have
been taught that the Jersey skeeter Is the most
pacious mendacious 'varmint" IN the mosquito line
that bored through the epidermis of suffering
mankind.
The funny papers have kept on hand stock cuts
of this insect of the order Diptera, and when they
didn't have much of nything else they used one We
laughed OF course, always laughed at the Jersey
mosquito. We have seen him pictured IN the act of
carrying away small child; have been told they
lugged sheep away to their aeries and that men
hunted them with buckshot-loaded shell, and other
heavy ammunition.
Alas and AGAIN alas We have been deceived. Pro
feszor John B. Smith entomoogist Of the state of New
Jersey comes out with the declaration that Jersey
auitoes don't bite all Yes that's what he saws. They
don't bite at all They wouldn't bite if you stuck your
head their beaks Professor Smith insists that the
so-caed Jersey mosquito is Long Island product and
is not indigenous to the soil of his state He further
more cain2s that the real Jersey article lives the
juice of plants end weeds rather than human blood
We suppose well have to take the professors word
for It. but 1t seems mighty sad 20 have another cher
shed belief destroyed Out here In Utah we have some
abe-bodied mosquitoes but we have always Rugged
TO our bosom the belief that New Jersey was much
worse off in this line. 1t great comfort to US,
too III the midst of frantic endeavOrs to dodge
say them think how the poor people of New Jersey
were suffering,
Professor Smith goes after another theory that has
long been held correct by majority of mankind It is
that mosquitoes carry malaria. In this the entomol-
ogst saws we are mistaken at is my personal belief
though rather heterodox" he concludes, that while
there is direct connection between the bite of
tain species of mosquito and malaria, the bite
of malaria mosquito independently of other favor
ing conditions, Is sufficient to transmit malaria.
The malarial mosquito flies only in the evening and is
not very active 1t craws, bat bites wherever it
lands The normal food Of the mosquito Is plant
juices and it only attacks man and animal when It
can get nothing else. That is why the house mosquito
is so perniciously active"

would be a credit 10 most travelling

The musical numbers were well rem

musical director. The chorus work was

COLD FEET CAUSE FOR DIVORCE.

Men with cold feet have been detested these many
ages. Cases have been known IN card games, notably
the gentle draw poker where player experienced chilly
sensations inside of his shoes This phenomenon is
usually most marked when the possessor of the icy
pedals is ahead of the game. The torture frequently
becomes so nten,a that he is compelled TO withdraw
at once and go home, not however, emitting the
formality of cashing III his checks

that is not entitled to a divorce because her
husband spanks her. That Judge would hardly have the
efrontery make similar decision in this instance
If Mrs. Wiegund gets her separation papers all right
food of similar cases is likely.

music lovers at home They wera more
than repaid for Drawing the weather.
Miss Gates had her people with her
from the start, but, as the recital Dro-
crossed, they grew more and more
/ demonstratiVe- When she finished her
superb rendition Of the cavatina from
the Barber of Seville" there was a
most remarkable outburst of enthusi-
asm- Half dozen times the fair
young singer was called back to The
auditorium to bow her thanks.
Probably the most popular of her
numbers were THE Last Rose of sum
mer, the cavatina already mentioned
and I Dreamed 1 Dwelt in Marble
Halls In each of these she was mag
nIhcent. She also appeared to splen-

indeed, every appearance of Miss Gates
was separate triumph and the limf-

human voice, VIII never be understood
by those who have failed to hear her.

Dales had only two numbers and in
both she showed remarkable strength
