LONG w RM.

Two and a half years ago the
longest electric power transmits
sion line in this country and probably
in the world was that running to Los
Angeles, Cal, from the San Bernardino
mountains, eighty miles away. Now
there has been opened a line from the
Upper Yuba river in the same state
to Oakland, a distance of 14O miles,
and at the present time, through a
temporary connection to San Jose,
power is actually being carried 1874
miles. A double pole line has been
built, and at the Straits of Carquinez
the current is carried on a suspended
span 4,427 feet long, which, according
to the Engineering News, is the 'long-
est single span of cable ever erected. -
The power, too, is transmitted at the
surprisingly high pressure of from 49,
900 to 10000 volts, an achievement
which the same authority regards as
IAN engineering precedent of great in
terest."

A national organization, formed for
the purpose of clearing the country OF
anarchists, has been started at Mil
waukee, Wis. 1t is to be called the
American Patriotic Educational league.
It's constitution sets forth the belief
that the enactment of laws to prevent
the spread of anarchist doctrines is
practically Intellectual, but that these
doctrines can be extirpated by appeal
ing through educational means to pub
lie sentiment, and by making these
doctrines so unpopular and contemptu-
GUS that no one would have the hardi-
hood to promulgate them. Active or
%ganization is to be carried on through
out the city and state, and later

The king fixed his eyes on Sir Thorn
as a little reproachfully. The gallant
knight ainched p|ercept.bly beneath the
steady gaze. "Did you catch the cup,
Tommy" his majesty asked, and he
asked 1t in the tone of a man who
knows just what the answer will be.
I did not" said Sir Thomas. He hove
| heavy sigh as he said it. Then he
hove two, you did not" repeated his
majesty. II know you did not. The
trouble is that in knotical parlance
you did not knot fast enough" The
kings features relaxed as he relieved
himself of this humorous sally, and,
taking Sir Thomas by the arm, he per-
mitted one eyelid to slightly droop as
they passed down the corridor and
through a green baize swinging door.

The will of Judge Frederick Stump,
who for thirty-four years was on the
bench in this judicial circuit, says a
writer at Elkton, Md, has been adj
mitted to probate. The will is dated
Oct. 80, 1900, and reads as follows:
Disguised with the foolish display al
most universally made at funerals, to
the great gain of undertakers and to
the deprivation of many families of
even the necessities of life for a long
time thereafter, l hereby direct that l
be buried in a white pine coffin because
the wood decays more readily under
ground than any l know of, without
any stain, paint, covering or other en-
blems of woe on it, and if my friend,
Ned Gehr, has not already gone to
heaven before l die, 1 want him to
make 1t. l direct that no embalming
fluid or other stuff shall be injected
into my body, and hat no funeral SER
mon shall be preached over it, and
that I be buried in a suit of clothes l
have worn, as l do not see the sense OF
wearing old clothes when alive and be-
ing buried in a new suit, when it is Of
no use to you. I desire that my exec
utor see that all my wishes are fully
carried out"

Every indication is forthcoming thai

LAST OF CIVIL WAR RECORD.

The one hundred and twenty-eighth
and last volume of that stupendous
government publication entitled "The
War of the Rebellion; A Compilation
Of the Official Records of the Union
and Confederate Armies" has gone to
press and will be issued soon. On this
work, which has been in progress for
a third of a century, the government
has spent nearly three million dollars.
Quite expensive books have been
printed by this and other governments
though none which has cost
so much as this record of
the great civil war in the
United States. The striking and novel
feature in the case is that it should
be deemed worth while to print an Of
fetal record. There have been Euro
pean civil wars which made some in
teresting military history, such as tina
Hungarian one in 1S49, for instance.
But the Austrian government did not
do for the Hungarians what the United
States has done for the men who
fought under the Confederate flag.
IL must ne ADMITTED LudI Lue war ne
tween the states was a more serious
matter than any which Europe has
known since the days of Charles I. of
England and the Long Parliament.
Furthermore, in the wars of an earlier
day there was nj such multiplicity of
reports from major and b~rigadier gen
I erals and colonies as there was be-
tween 1861 and 1865. Formerly gem
erals sent home bulletins instead of
detailed reports. The historian bene-
fitted thereby. He did not have to
toll through a vast mass of contra
dictory material. The future military
historian Of the civil war will have
to agonize ove 128 volumes of official
documents.-Chicago Tribune.

SOUTH AMERICA FOR AMERICANS.

The German naval officer who would
order Americans to keep hands off liz
America and who would build a fleet
to enforce his order probably had at
least one stein too much on board
when he INDUCED his warlike humor
in menacing speech. Such vaporings
are about as sensible as those that
used to emanate from British naval
heroes up to a quarter of a century
ago. They are no indication of the
purposes of the German government,
which will not set up German inter
ests in the five republics of Central
America with gun and sword; they ex-
cite no sympathy among German i'm
migrants in any part Of America,
Wherever Germans go they become
loyal citizens, just as they do in the
United States, and an interesting case
in point is furnished by Brazil's ex-
p%erience with them as 1t is described
by Colonel Bryan, our minister to
that country. Colonel Bryan estimates
the German population of Brazil at
a quarter OF a million. Many Of the
immigrants, he says, have become Bra
lillian citizens and are taking an ac-
tive part in Brazilian politics as Bra
zilians. They are not planning a Sc
cession of the state or states where
their influence is greatest so that they
may thus attach themselves once more
to the German empire. They believe
IN Brazil for the Brazilians, in Amer
lea for the Americans.-N. Y. Times.

Nearly All the syrups Used by Druggists
Are Adulterated.
The use of adulterated and harmful
flavoring syrups at the soda fountains
is by no mems as uncommon as many
people suppose. Analysis has shown
that even the cheapest Of these are Of
ten far from wholesome. Most people
who have been taught to ask for lemon
or vanilla favOrlng for the alleged rea-
son that those syrups were less liable
than others to- adulteration VIII be sur
prised at the assertion that there Is no
extract for which substitutes are more
often used than vanilla. This is said
ON the authority Of the Massachusetts
board of health.
The true vanilla bean costs from Sl2
to SIG per pound. and were there no
substitute it could not be used so free
ly and so extensively as at present.
Vanillin, the active property of the eX-
tract, can be made from other sub
stances at a cost of about 81 per gal
lon. The artificial compound is chem
ically identical with the vanillin found
in the true vanilla extract and there
fore has come to be used extensively
by manufacturers and dealers. 1t has
been made for commercial purposes
from turpentine, but more satisfactory
results are obtained from oil of cloves
or benzoic acid. There Is some CONF
fort for confirmed soda water drinkers
and a general warning for others in the
further statement by the Massachu-
sets authorities that the metallic CON
tamination of the water used i'm a glass
of soda is far more detrimental to the
health than any adu~lteratlon.

The observation of the first STRAW
day in Walla Walla county seems to
have been successfully carried out, says
tho Spokesman-Review of Spokane,
Wash. 1t was nothing more or less
than a combined effort on the part of
the farmers to improve dusty roads by
laying straw on the thoroughfares most
frequently traversed, and in this way
make travelling more comfortable. 1t
resulted in a decided benefit. The
Walla Walla people nave taken hold of
this new improvement of summer
roads with enthusiasm and the Spokes-
man-Review says it is probable that
their example will be followed by other
communities that suffer every year
from dusty roads.

altering it's course, stranded on the
beach. Some Spaniards, misinterpret-
ing the action of the British sailors,
tried to prevent the latter from taking
the torpedo away. The Custom House
Guards interfered, and, admitting the
right of the British sailors, permitted
them to take away the torpedo. The
admiral of the British squadron after
wards wrote to the Spanish consul in

to the Custom House Guards for their
assistance"

THE MISSION OF Mr.. REDMOND.

~ NMA42l1NN ~ NNANa
John E. Redmond, member of the
British Parliament, has come to the
United States, it is said, in quest Of
funds to defray the expenses Of the
Irish parliamentary party, who, under
the British constitution, are not paid
for their services to the empire. The
American people have always been in
hearty sympathy with Ireland's aspir-
ations for home rule, and. although
the feeling of prejudice against Great
Britain that once prevailed has abated,
there is still among all Americans a
kindly feeling toward the land from
which we have derived so much that
is most valuable in our citizenship,
and which was so long the victim Of
ran.. .ljustice at the hands of its
stronger neighbor. But the Ireland Of
today is not the Ireland of forty or
fifty years ago; if it were Mr.. Red
mond would be more likely to be now
occupying a cell. in Kilmainham than
in first class American hotels. The
time has probably gone by when the
Irish in America could be induced to
give up their money to promote IL
customary schemes of revolution.
There are heavy enough drains upon
their liberality without contributing
to the support of professional con-
sp%irators, who exploit the trusting
patriotism of their countrymen for
their own emolument. 1t is because
Mr.. Redmond is not the man Of that
class that he will receive a hearty wei
