After two weeks of playing in hard

to brace up a little yesterday, and as
the Cuban X-Giants were the only men
handy on whom to revenge themselves
they went at it in a way that showed
they had gotten over their hard luck
streak Until the seventh inning the
game was fast and exciting and it was
hard to tell who would be the victors
because the score stood / to 1. But in
the seventh the locals got together and
Mcclellan went up in the air VIII

MUNICIPAL REGENERATION FIRST.

There is a strong and growing sentiment among a large class of people that all that is needed to solve the veXatlous problems of city government is munich pal ownership of public utilities. There is also a strong feeling among the people. especially those of large cities that municipal regeneration should pre- cede municipal control This, it seems to us, bears with equal force on the situation in every town and city in the country.
 Public ownership of the public utilities of cities. and especially those which arc natural monopoes, is usually favored upon the ground that private own ership causes corruption and bad service. The fact s that there is bad service because munic pal auhor ties corrupted, and the authorities corrupted because the people, sometimes ignorantly, but often knowirgly put men in office who are incompetent or dishonest, or both. It is true that some bad men would get into office and the cities would suffer in consequence, in spite of the utmost vigilance of the people. But if the people would exercise more care, it would not be possible to loot them on so grand scale as has been done in New York, Chicago, Phila dch ha, St. Louis, Minneapolis and some other places The worst service is rendered by private corporations in cities where corporations are constantly held up hy greedy public officials If municipal officers honest, corporations would not have to spend money in controlling and buying up, and would have more
 10 spend in giving the public satisfactory service; and public officials competent, energetic and fear less, corporations which were not disposed to do would be compelled to observe the terms of their tracts.
 It is singular, in view of the failures city govern ments make in performing the duties already assigned 10 them, that will argue that they will carry other and greater works better than they per form the labors incumbent on them. But this is not strange the contention that he temptation and Opportunities for corruption would be less uld nicp pal ownesrhp The entire revenues from the great public service institutions would then be in- trusted to pubic officers. Many of these officials already have their hands almost continually in other mems pockets. But, asked to believe, if they had much greater sums to handle they would not take anything at all. The amount O public thefts upon this theory would diminish directly the op- portunites for stealing increased. very fine the ory, and one which highly compliments human ture, but one which sersible and deserving people will be a trfle slow to accept.

THREE BRIEF YEARS.

New Year day 1900, just three years ago, wa. duly welcomed in Nome The cd Year now dy- ing welcomed just heartily and joyously as will be the New Year of tomorrow The bells rang out, and hearty voices called "hsppy New Year." to friend acquaintance. And 1t wll be just the same tomorrow. There will be the san good wishes for q happy and prosperous year as thee away back at the close of the dying year, 1899, which really marked the discovery of the goldelds of Nome. and the founding of an important cit, the bleak and cheeress coast of Boring sea- Tlere were "knockers in those days just the there are knockers today. There scores of mel who predicted the immediate passing of Nome andthis great gold bear ing section. These men proved themselves to be the false prophets of their time Tree creeks. at most had yielded gold in the brief simmer of 1899, but they yielded well. Notwithstanding this, and the crudest kind of mining ever zen in "civilized" country, it confidently Fedicted that Nome wouldn't last three years"

the disappointed and the disaifected. Slowly it has forgtd to he front.
 Three years ago Council City dis trict had scarcelyproduced an ounce of gold; kougarok was unknown, for it was well along in the winter of 1900, when the first hardy explo- rers of that region returned to Nome bringing news of finding gold in the streams of that sec tion; of the now famous Bluestone section, ,.othing then had been heard al- though portions of it had been staked. The name Agiapuk had never found its way into q news paper, Good Hope and Shismarrff held not q white man; Candle was unknown, but the Solomon country was considered promising, a proph- ccy which it would seem was we'll made. Not a bench. claim had then been worked and little faith was placed in their gold-producing ca pabiities. Yet today bench min ing is active and it bids fair to pro- duce much more gold than will ever be found in the creeks. In fact the era of bench mining may be said to be ust commencing From remote districts comes almost daily news of strikes in benches which for the past couple or more years have been considered barren of the precious metal.
 Three years ago absolutely no prospecting for quartz had been done. Today there is at least promise of one good quartz mine and reasonable hope of many others being developed within the coming year.
 The restlessness of the prospector has led him into the wilds north of kotzebue sound and there is little doubt before another three years have passed that another great gold-bearing belt wlll have been partially developed.
 In the limited space of this art icle we can but touch upon few of the many evidences of development of the past three years. They are sufficient, however, we believe, to justify the faith which has made this frozen country known the world over as one of the greatest mineral sections on earth.

today owe much of the progress that we have made and the civilization" that we enjoy. Yet mankind is not yet wholly civzed still tho subjects of superstition; the thirst for blood and plunder still turks in our blood. The war drum still throbs; the battle flags not furled the parliament of man has not yet met, neither has come the federation of the world. These things coming, however Each recurring year brings that good time nearer when Common sense shall hold a retfu realm in awe and the kindly earth shall slumber, wrapt in universal law"
 Therefore, let us welcome another New Year, be- cause of the good time coming," though may not
 live to the earth glisten in the ray of that good time.

THE SEAL BROKEN

SALT LAKE, Utah, July 21.-The
Supreme Court today decided that
sealing for eternity in the Mormon
Church is not marriage.
On December 1, 1872, Miss Annie
Armitage was supposed to be on her
deathbed and the ceremony known as
sealing was performed, whereby DR..
John r. Park and Miss Armitage were
to be husband and wife after death.
Miss Armitage recovered from her i'll
ness, and on March II, 1873, she and
Park signed a document known as a
church divorce" whereby they agreed
to dissolve all relations which had eX-
listed between them as husband and
wife. After this she married William
Hilton, now a Salt Lake policeman, by
whom she has ten or twelve living chill
dTen.
DR.. Park during his lifetime decided
certain property to Rosa =. ROylance,
and this action was brought to recover
title to one third of the property, to
which Mrs. Hilton claims she is entitl-
ed as the legal widow of John r. Park,
deceased and also for a family allow
ance pending the determination of the
suit. She alleged in her complaint that
she never relinquished her rights in the
real estate and is still the owner of it..
Judge Hall decided that John r. Park
and the plaintiff never became hus-
band and wife, and hence she was not
entitled to any part of the premises
in controversy.
