very anxious to make the extension,
but street Improvements necessary TO
the Improvement have been delayed
and It has been impossible to extend.
The company wants TO get into West
Astoria on Astor street, which thor

Is also the intention of the company
to abandon The present route east OF
the Shlvely claim line in East Astoria
and follow new route through the
residence section. However, until the
council establishes grades in the East
End the company will be unable to
extend. 1t is quite probable the time
for Improvement OF the line will be
extended II the company so requests
as the delay was not the fault OF the
company.

Hnrper's. Ferry, the Gate to the
Shenandoah Valley


Where the three states of Virginia, West
Virginia and Maryland come together;
where the Potomac and Shenandoah riv-
ers unite: where the towering sleeps Of
the Blue Ridge end abruptly, frowning
upon the heights of Maryland and Bolivar
Heights in West Virginia, lies the quaint
historic town of Harpers Ferry. John
Brown baptized it in blood in 1859, when
he captured the town and the U. S. ar
senal and made his final and fatal stand
in the engine house (known afterwards as
John Browns fort>, alongside the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad. A plain shaft, SIM
ply inscribed, now marks the location.
Again in 1861, grim vsaged war seized
the village and held it tight in it's grasp
for nearly four years. The deeds that
were done and the tales that are told
concerning Harpers Ferry fill Volumes
The heights at Harpers Ferry guarded
the Shenandoah valley. 1t was most i'm
portant stronghold to be desired when
some great campaign was planned by
either army.
From Harpers Ferry the Shenandoah
division of the Baltimore & Ohio R. R.
extends southwark to Charlestown, Win
chester, Harrisonburg and Lexington.
Battlefields- surround the village in all di-
rections.

London, Aug 1S.-Mr. Ferrerira, SON.
in-law of General Delarey, giving his i'm
pressions of the Boer generals visit to
the king, said:
'"rhe king received us all with the most
kindly courtesy, but beyond the necessary
politeness as he did not evince that par
ticular interest which has been shown by
him for his more humble subjects. The
interview was brief, partly because it
was necessary for me to translate each
OF the replies to Generals Dewet and De-
larey,- as they would not trust them
selves TO attempt their expressions in
English, and partly also because they had
= not .lunched aboard the royal yacht and
were getting hungry. General Rotha made
hts own replies in English, so his majesty
spoke mostly to him. The king expressed
pleasure at seeing us and inquired as to
our health. His majesty shook hands
with me in an affable manner aui inquired

South Africa. l was not presented to the
queen, but the Prince of Wales and the
Princess Victoria Maud spoke to me. The
latter was frankly curious to learn some
Of our war experiences. We were all
pleased with the kings pleasant recep-
ton, but We experienced certain natural
embarrassment, as it is not every day
that one meets. king.
The extreme cordiality between Lord
Roberts and the Beers was noteworthy.
= They returned with him on his special
. train. During the journey the comman nd
r-in-chief explained all the surround
ings Of the countryside Lord Kitchener
remained at Southampton after acting
a. host at luncheon.
1t is evident that General Christian
Dewet is the most unbending Of the Boer
trio. A. fellow passenger OF the generals
on the steamer says General Delarey W as
the most popular of the three during the
voyage. He played draughts good deal,
and was also often the center of an ad
mirirag group of officers while he delivered
little lectures on tactics, which he illus
trated by telling Of various fights during
the war. General Louis Botha played
cards and deck games and also mixed
with others, but he was not as approach
able as Delarey. On the other hand, the
constant aloofness of General Dewet came
to be resented by large number of
British officers who were passengers on
the Saxon. He rose at 8 o'clock In the
morning, took solitary turn round the
deck, and then immured himself in his
stateroom for the rest Of the day, reap
pearing only at mealtimes. 1t transpired
that he was engaged in writing his book
on the war.

HENPECKED HUSBANDS.
mOrOus Anecdotes and Descrip-
lions the Subject.

"Chinese humorous literature
abounds with reference to henpecked
husbands said Prof. Herbert Allen
Giles, of the University of Cambridge
in the closing lecture of his recent
course at Columbia university. Then
he went on to tell sample story culled
from this branch of Chinese litera-
ture, says the New York Tribune.
Ten henpeclled husbands resolved
to form a society to resist the imposi-
tions of their wives" he said. The ten
wives heard of the plan, and while the
meeting for organization was in prog
ress entered in a body. Nine of the
rebellious husbands incontinently bolt
ed, but the tenth one retained his place,
quite unmoved by the frightful APP
partition. The ten ladies, merely smil-
ing contemptuOusly on the one man
left behind, returned to their homes,
satisfied with the success of their raid.
The nine husbands thereupon returned
and resolved to make the heroic tenth
the president of the society. When
they went, however, to inform him of
the honor, it was found that he had
died of fright.
Women have a few privileges that
men have not" continued Prof. Giles.
They are exempt from the bamboo
punishment; no woman can be bam-
booed. And a woman is source of enX-
lety and misgiving to magistrate and
counsel in any case in which she may
be party, for no Chinaman will enter
into an agreement with a woman-not
from any feeling of chivalry at all, but
from a rooted conviction that he will
get the worst of it,"
Prof. Giles continued to reveal mas
culine secrets by describing some
things which he said recently took
place at dinner at which a number
of high-class natives and important for
eigners were present. The host, adj
dressing himself to the latter, in
quired:
''Do you fear the inner ones?"
Upon inquiry he explained that he
/ meant their wives, and added, with
unconscious pathos, that many China
men stood in constant fear of their
wives.
'Now, for example, he does" said
the host, naively, pointing to solemn
and rotund magistrate, who had i'm
pressed everyone as filled with sense
of his Importance.
this allthe Europeans present burst
into uncomfortable laughter, which
rather surprised the Chinaman, who
had been seeking to acquire informa-
ton on what they thought were seri-
Gus matters.
