MEMORIAL BELL FOR AUTHOR.
Maine Pastor Who Wrote Memorable
Lines Remembered in
Unique Manner.

'sTo live in hearts we leave behind is
not to die" said the poet most truly.
It is an immortality which comes in
larger measure to but chosen few.
One of these lives in the heart of every
school boy who has detained from the
rostrum on Friday afternoon the STIR
ring words of "Spartacus."
He may not know whose brain ia
thered the lines he is making embryot-
ic oratory out of, but the author lives
on, nevertheless. The late Rev. Elijah
Kellogg, for so years pastor of the Con-
gregational church in Hauswell, Me-,
was the writer of those oft spoken
verses, says the New York Herald. n
In recognition of his writings, as
well as his long pastorate, memorial
bell to his memory has been recently
hung in the belfry of the house of wor-
ship whose pulpit he filed SO long with
his kindly presence. His ministry ex-
tended over wide field in the. pas
torate along the shore of Casco Bay,
and many out on the deep, as well as
those safe in the harbor of refuge, will
hear the far sounding deep tones of
the new bell and glow with remem-
brance of good man gone to a we'll
earned rest from his labors. -. -:

BRUIN LIKES THE CAMERA.
Colorado Bear That Passes and
Poses whenever He Sees One
LeveIed at Him.

Bears have exhibited many strange
characteristics, many of which have
been described by persons who are
intimate with bruin in his native lair,
but State Game Warden Harris,
through Deputy Warden James Bush,
has found bear in Routt county that
is vain of his appearance. He is a
silver tip, too, but he is quite time,
and never strays from the property of
Elliott Hawarden, the strange hermit.
who refuses to allow anyone to harm
any of the wild animals that live on
the two sections he owns, relates the
Denver Post
This particular bear has had his pic
ture taken SO often, says Warden
Bush, that he knows just what is re-
quired of him, and tourists who stop
at the Hawarden ranch have only to
find Old Graybull to get frst-class
bear picture. The old fellow stops
short and poses whenever he sees a
camera poised at him. 49, t-.
No one knows just how old this bear
is, but Warden Bush declares he is at
least old enough to vote. BY associa-
ting with some dogs few years ago
he caught the mango. Hawarden dur
ing that same season was obliged to
feed him to keep him from starving to
death, and at length he became so
tame he would come right up to the
cabin door. While bruin was eating
the old man sprinkled him with fluid
which is cure for mango and the
bear has ever since been most CRATE
full for his care.

For one moment the pass suffced;
then there was doubt. Inthat moment
of hesitation the travellers eyes rested

why Gnats Dance.

A correspondent noting what is
fairly well known among entomolo-
gists, that many species Of flies CON
gregate to dance, says it is well
known that this is for very utili-
tartan purpose--the selection of a
mate. At the present moment there
are thousands of so-called winter
midge" (trichocera hiemalis) dancing
at the end of his garden, and every
now and again paired couples can
be seen to separate themselves from
the crowd. On the previous day,
when it was very windy, there were
but few about, but three or four

after a lengthy dance, seen from a
darkened room. against a twilight

SoTHAM,s coURTING CLUB.
Odd Organization fin New York City
That Does Not Contemplate
Matrimony.

The city of New York boasts club
which has for it's object the promo
ton of aimless courtship in SO far as
matrimony is concerned. A number
Of young men there have banded them
selves together to make love to dam
sells, who, instead of looking for pro-
posals, are content with what is called
"a good time"
Their knights escort them to
theaterg, picnics and other amuse-
ments, make them presents, and are
generally attentive to even greater
degree than the ordinary enamored
swain. Couples who break the rules
Of the club by marrying have to pay
fine of $50 and are forever banished
from the club. One or two couples
have already paid this fine says the
Detroit News-Tribune, and entered
into the forbidden state, dinner for
each occasion being held by the club
to console the members for their loss.
An equally curious club has for
some time been in existence in Chi
cago 1t is composed of young men,
all Of whom bear the Christian name Of
Joseph, and who have entered into a
solemn compact to WOO no girls ex-
cept those bearing the Christian name
of Mary. The club has a considerable
membership, and it is a noteworthy
fact that, so far, its rule has never been

The New Field Gun.

IL has been decided by Secretary
Root that the new field gun to be
supplied to the artillery of the army
will be combination of the best
points Of the field guns designed by
Herr Erhardt, the German expert,
and Capt Wheeler, of the ordnance
department. The chief feature of the
Erhardt gun which will be incorpo-
rated in the new gun to be manufac-
tured is the breech mechanism. The
chief distinguishing characteristic Of
the new gun from the old is the three
foot long recoil. This prevents the
kicking of the gun carriage from its
original position when the gun is

KEEPS BAD SETTLERS OUT.
The Lawr OF Australia Restraining
immigration Are Very
Stringent.

The commonwealth of Australia has
gone considerably farther than any
other country in herrestriction of i'm
migration. The Immigration Restric-
tion Act which went into effect to-
ward the end of last year, was passed
at the behest of the labor party and
was aimed principally at yellow la
bor," meaning Kanakas, Chinese and
East Indians. In reality, however, it
can keep out of Australia anybody,
white or black, should it be so desired.
The principal clause in the act pro-.
yides that no person shall be allowed
to land in Australia who, when asked
to do so by an officer (the word officer
being defined as an officer especially
appointed, or any custom officer), fails
to write out at dictation and sign in
the presence of the officer a passage
of SO words in length in European
language directed by the officer"
There are additional clauses provid-
ing for the rejection of undesirables,
but the first is widely embracing
enough for all purposes. The broad
character Of this clause was purposely
designed SO that any class of laborers,
even Englishmen, might be kept out
of the country if it seemed likely that
they would work for less than the ma
tive. Some of the important indus
tries, especially sugar-growing, have
already been materially affected and
great discomfort has resulted. This IS
only one of several differences between
the various states, which have not yet
been able to get the national stand
point and look for the greater good of
the whole country rather than that of

aUnder municipal supervision.
Only fourteen cities of this list have
free lodging houses for the disposal Of
tramps and Of these but seven are I'M
der municipal control. In those places
where the city authorities control the
lodging of tramps it has been found
that little trouble is encountered. but
the reverse is true in cities where mis-
sions and -philanthropic institu-
tons rule the situation.
Thus. out of fifty-one leading cities
only seven are satisfied with the man
ner in which the tramp problem is met.
Sch an array Of statistics points out
with marked emphasis the ACCESSIBILITY
| of every municipality controlling free
lodging house with work test, a rigid
identification system and fumigating
appliances for the destruction OF YER
min and disease. The extinction of
the tramp then will be made not only
possible, but comparatively easy if
municipalities provide well disciplined
institutions and the American people
at large sustain these municipalities by
sending all beggars, "hoboes" and
tramps to the institutions provided for
them instead Of perpetuating the evil
j by promiscuous giving.

AMERICAN PRECIOUS STONES.
Hardly a state I'm the Union in Which
There Is Not some Trace
Of Them.

When we think of the mining of
precious stones our thoughts are
quite certain to leap into South Az
RIGA, over to the orient. among the
mountains OF Asia and Europe, or
perhaps to South America, but we
are not likely to think of our own
land yielding them; but the fact is
that no insignificant value in gems
is taken from the soil right here at
home. The report of the geological
survey, just compiled for 1901, shows
that during the year we mined in the
United States precious stones to the
value of about $500, 900, reports the
New York Herald.
Diamonds represent only 500 of
this amount, but the fact that they
are found at all gives encouragement
to the hope that paying fields Of
them may some time be found. Last
year one diamond was found in Lee
county, Georgia, where diamonds
were not before knowa to exist. New
Mexico furnished $4,000 In tur-
quoises, and these have been placed
on the market. Montana gave us
$50, 900 in sapphires, which come
next. They came from Fergus coun-
ty Granite county is now being ex-
plored for fancy colored sapphires,
that give evidences of being there in
paying quantities.
Fine and extensive rhodolite garnet
deposits are found in Mason county,
North Carolina. Many dark green
blue and yellow. beryls, as well as
amethysts and emeralds, were found
I'm that state. There is hardly a
state of the union in which there is
not some trace of precious stones
and it appears not at all unlikely
that before many years we may be
competing with the old world in fur
uishing gems.

There are employed on the farms
near Calumet SEQ Finnish girls, who
work in the hay and grain fields like
hired men, says the Detroit Tribune.
The farmers say they are cheaper
than male help and give more COM

of these farm girls have worked in
the crop fields in the old country and
prefer the open air to the narrow

tins minutc-viz.:
'Mr. Casklo offered the following.
Which, Was adopted:
Resolved, That the time having eA-
pired--within which We agreed to wait
10. the $4,000 due the Sinking Fund for
1896. and said debt being unpaid, that We
row demand of the city payment OF said
sum of S7DR0o, with all interest thereon.
The minutes further show that the
$4,000 above demanded. with interest
thereon amounting to $1,c5o. was paid the
same day.
This $4,000 so paid with interest was the
same $4,000 which was reduced by the
budget of 1897 to 100000, and which Mr..
Mccarthy alluded TO in his speech at the
Academy.
The public will observe that the Si0,oFe

days given the city by the commits
sioncrs to pay it. and within less Than q

Sir,--Having noticed on your editorial
page of the 18th ut an inquiry emanat-
ing from u holder Of q West Virginia
bond concerning its collection. settlement
etc, and also your answer stating that
West Virginia has made no. provision
looking to a sttlement OF the one-thrd
portion of the old Virginia debt. which
was set aside as her equitable share OF
said debt, what I wish to know. Mr.
Editor, is this, what was the amount Of
the Old Virginia debt in 1911, or In the
days of REIMBURSEMENT, and has West
Virginia ever accepted and agreed to
ray one-thicd. of the OLD Virginia debt?
I also noticed q short time ago in The
Times report from the Auditor of PUB
lie Accounts, and one from Ex-Governor
Tyler, placing the State debt of Virginia
at between twenty-six and twenty-seven
million dollars. Does that include West
Virginia's portion Of the old Virginia
debt, or is it FirSinia's undivided debt?
