Some time in the life of almost every

sweat OF the laborer's brow, but COM
potency that one can safely trust when
old age, iniirmity. sickness or death over
take him. In the cndoavor to success
fully solve this great problem, millions
of human beings are constantly toiling,
while countless hosts have gone down to
their graves, wearied and worn out with
their ncvcr-cndng struggle.

QUIET WAS THE WEEK
FOR REAL ESTATE MEN
Races Have Figured as Factor in In
flucncine Local Market, But Pros
poets Are Good.

Little activity has been observable in
the real estate market during the past
week, consequent upon the races which
command the attention of more than few
of the people of Butte. There was less
inquiry for property by home buyers than
was reported last week and the number OF
transfers Of realty was comparatively
small. Regardless Of this condition, which
the real estate men generally attribute to
the starting of the races, values remain
firm and holders of property are loath to
sell at figures which appeal to speculative
minds or those seeking property for resi-
dence purposes.
Said one of the local dealers yesterday {:
"Werc it not for the running races which
started week ago. we would all be busy
and there would be something doing in
all Of the local real estate Offices. Labor

IN expressing its exuberance over
the possession of the election machin-
cry of the state, the Union Republican
of Georgetown, gives some very en-
couraging statements. These state
ments are all the more interesting in
view of the fact that the Union Re-
publicans in Kent and Sussex counties
at least, have decided to run separate
tickets. At the last election, the
Union Republicans of Kent county
Overcame the total vote of the Demo-
Gratis and Regulars combined, and they
are expecting to do the same thing in
the coming campaign. For Sussex
county, the Union Republican has
the following to say: 'There are nine
teen districts in Sussex county, and
an average gain of ten votes to each
district would mean one hundred and
ninety votes. At our last election the
Union Republicans lacked about one
hundred and eighty votes of having
enough to defeat both the Democrats
and regulars. That gives us about
ten votes to spare. True that makes
a very narrow margin, but it must b'
remembered that we have made large
gains among the Regulars since Oul
last election. Suppose we call tina
fifty, and we are confident that thu
estimate is a very low one, that gives
us a majority of sixty on our county
ticket. Still the margin is small, bu

their stand and to have retracted,
would have placed the government

THE unfortunate political conditions
in the Republican Party of Delaware
in which the factional fight for su-
premacy has deprived the state of its
proper representation in the United
States Senate, has caused public senti-
ment to steadily grow stronger in
favor of changing the methods for
electing our senators. Under the
present provisions of the Constitution
prescribing election by the State Legis-
latures, so many abuses have arisen
that constitutional amendment is
sought providing for the electing Of
Senators by popular vote. The evil

sides, but there is wide difisrance oi
opinion as to the wisdom Of the pro
posed cure. Whether wise or unwiss

luton in favor of such an amendment

FATAL HEAD ON COLLISION.

 on the Baltimore and Ohio.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, May D. Two were killed and fortyfive injured, two probably fatally, ill bad head on collision between an emigrant train and a fast freight near Redwood, on the Connellsville division of the Balti- more and Ohio railroad. The two trains dashed toward each other on straight stretch of track, and this fact alone averted what would have been the worst wreck in the history of the road.
 The scene of the wreck is half mile east of Redwood and half way to the Luzon telegraph station, which marks the terminal of the double tracking op- erations on the Connellsville division of the road. From Luzon for a num- Der of miles east the road is operated over the single track The emigrant train was late out of Cumberland and had been given time at the telegraph offices along the line It was hauling ten coaches of Italian emigrants. The fast freight eastbound was hauling twenty-two carloads of merchandise. When the crash came, the baggage car and the three coaches next were almost demolished
 Almost every occupant was cut and bruised by the shower of broken glass A number were pinioned beneath the wreckage, and their cries of aid in the foreign tongue were fearful to hear. The trainmen, aided by the willing emigrants who were riding in the real cars, worked hard to release the suffer CTS. Smallwood, a newsboy, was with his stock in the baggage car when the crash came. His was a terrible posi- tion, and he suffered for almost an hour before he was released. Fire started several times. but was extin guishcd before any damage was done.

DOROTHY VERNON OF HADDoN HALL

By CHARLES MAJOR. Illustrated by Howard
 Chandler Christy. The Macmillan Go.
 12mo, S1.50.
 Charles Major is perhaps the most popular teller of love stories among living novelists. In Dorothy Vernon, as in his earlier novel When Knighthood eoas in Floleer, time and dis tance lose their significance under his spell. He has the rare and happy faculty which brings home to the heart the spirit of gallant times and the imperious call of youths spfingtime.
 We'll written from first page to last, this novel is worthy to rank as one of the best pieces of American fiction, and as literature. MT. Major has discovered what potent imple- ments are language and style in the creation of romance, and he has mastered their use. All praise to him for this; it cannot fail. moreover, to add to his popularity, thus earning for his willingness to labor and improve two rewards one material, the other artistic.
 The romance is the chief concern with this author; it is the very root as well as the flower of his gift This is historical tale, so far as period, scene, and minor characters are con- cerned. Indeed, even his hero and his heroine, and the romance itself, are based upon historic fact But we are after all ever in the land of lovers, the best of realms in which to dwell in romantic fiction. Dorothy Vernon is an Eliza bethan maid, but there is in her suggestion of wilful young womanhood as it reveals itself through the ages, a touch of the eternal feni- nine in her defiance of authority for the sake of the man she loves. She is not historic figure, interesting on account of it's distance from the women of to-day; she is flesh and blood of this twentieth century, all gentleness and reused fury in defence of her al;> all love and strength and fortitude under persecution and opposi- ton, living loving, lovable girl, ready to risk all for the sake of him." living woman of to-day. She will appeal more potently, we think, to the popular imagination than did even the heroine of the earlier book, because she is depicted in more vigorous lines and stronger colors, because Mir. Major has mas tered his trade.
 The elopement of Dorothy Vernon with John Manners is an historic episode; Haddon Hall belongs to this day to their descendants, the Dukes of Rutland. Queen Elizabeth visited the castle; the state chamber, where she rested overnight, is still shown to visitors in its orig inal state. Mary Stuart, too, enters the story, to rouse the jealousy of Dorothy. In short the lover of the accuracy of history in fiction may rest contented with the story; but he vii probably care little for that once he has beer j, caught by the spirit and freshness of the TO nanoe 4

CONGRESSMAN oTEY DEAD.
Member From Virginia and Prom7-
 nent Ex-Confederate.

LYNCHBURG, Va, May 5.-Peter J. Otey, representative in congress from this the Sixth congressional dis cated with diabetes He came to his home here from Washington last Tues day to consult his physician, but his condition was not such as to cause any more anxiety on the part of his family and friends than for some time past, he having been in bad health for about two years. The marked change for the worse came Friday night. Major Otey is survived by his wife and three daughters. He was serving his fourth term ill the house.
 AIr. Otey was well known in the south as a business man before he came to congress. He was interested in railroad, banking and insurance. He had been active in the politics of his state since 1869, but never held office until 1894, when he was elected to the house of representatives, since which time he had been a member of that body.
 He was born in Lynchburg in 1S40 and was graduated from the Virginia Military. institute. While a cadet he participated in the defense of Virginia in the John Brown raid. After gradu- ating he became civil engineer. In 1861 he joined the Confederate army and participated in the western cam paign, eliminating at Donelson and Shiloh. MT. Otey returned with his command after that campaign was over and entered the army of northern Virginia, remaining i'll the infantry branch until the close of the war. He was badly wounded at Newmarket
 When his wounds had healed, he re | turned and commanded brigade un- der General Early at Cedar Creek.
