4 BOYS Chances in the World.

Looking over the fields ofendeavor
in the United States aud considering
the iates OF men in the complexities
of civilization, the chances good and
evil of the average chi,d seem admir-
ably counter. balanced, says the In
dianapolis Sentinel, With chances
30, OO0. OO0 to | that the boy will
not become president of the United
States, there are also chances OF 5SS
to that he will not 90 insane: 600
to that lie will not be deaf and
dumb: 1850 To that he will not be
blind: GA to | that he will not be
criminaIly or socially delinquent,
and S64 to that he will not be an
inmate of a public almshouse.
On the first great proposition OF
making both ends meet, the Amer-
can baby lays it over the English
baby in the chance of getting
through life without any water bis
tiers on his palms. In every 1000
people in British Isles there are 4je
breadwinnprs; next to these comes
the French, with 434 bread winners;
then the Germans with 426: the Aus
TRANS with i2J. the Russians with
40 and the Americans with only
BIZ.
TO grow to any of these estates,
the baby chances OF life must be
considered Under one year old he
is four times a. likely to die as he is
after he passes his first anniversary;
at two years he is not half as likely
to die as at one year; at three years,
he has one and three-fourths chance
over his condition ut two years; at
four he has one and One-third over
his chances at three years, and at
five the average chances of death are
his, and the hope may be held out
for at least 40 years OF life.

Warning Note From Russia and

st. Petersburg. March l0.-The Of
fetal Messenger tomorrow will print
the text of a Russo.French conjoint
declaration, sent March 16 to the
Australian, Belgian, British, Ameri-
can, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch,
Chinese and Japanese governments.
The declaration is ~ ffeliiitt~ss.-
1.-The allied Russo.French govern
ments are wholly as pleased to dis
Germ that the Anglo-,Iapanese con-
vention supports the essential prin-
ciples which, according to the reiter-
ated statement of France and Rus
STA. constituted and still constitutes
determination of their policy Both
governments believe that the SUP
port of these principles is also a
guarantee of their interests in the far
East.
"They are compelled, however, not
to lose from view the possibility of
inimical action of other Powers, or a
repetition of disorders in China, pos
sibly impairing China's inteA rity and
free development, to the detriment of
their reciprocal interests. They
therefore reserve to themselves the
right to take measures to defend
these interests.
The PREDATORY remark ks say that
Russia deserves the maintenance Of
the status quo and the attainment of
complete tranquility in the far East.

Former President Grover Cleveland,
who is now the only living eX-presi

years of age day.
When seen by the Associated Press
correspondent this afternoon, Cleve-
land appeared to be in "a happy frame
of mind and talked freely on several
questions, In reply to aquestion on
the agitation for construction of
the Panama canal, he said:
Il notice the question has already
been debated and has passed one OF
the houses and see no reason why
it should be exercised, however, that
we do not make the thing merely a
kind of grab bag for ourselves"
Cleveland said he had not carefully
looked over Henry Watterson's re-
cent letter in which he assails the
present administration at Washing
ton and makes the accusation that
things are politically in bad shape
there with the republican party.
Commenting on it, Cleveland said:
We'll, the party may get badly
mixed up with itself at times, but
it seems. to have the faculty OF pull
ing together at convention times"
Cleveland also expressed the opin-
ion that much good would come Of

SHERIFF
Is Missing From the
Chase.
Ore Of Tracy's Pursuers Has
Disappeared.

Seattle, Wash, July 1.-THE only
interest last night in the Tracy hunt
was in the mysterious disappearance
of Sheriff Cudihee, who severed his
connection with his Office and the out
side world in general when he vanish
ed from the vicinity of Covington.
The only developments were the
finding near Ravensdale of some
bloody bandages near the ashes Of a
freshly built camp fire, supposedly
used by Tracy. Railroad men report
having seen a mysterious armed man
hiding behind trees in that section.
A report from Tacoma. says: "At
the inquest over the body supposed to
be that of David Merrill, the convict,
four false teeth, which Merrill is
known to have worn, are missing, Con.
victs at Salem have told the warden
there that Merrill had false teeth, and
this fact was telegraphed to the cor
oner at Chehalis."

THE CURTAINS ARE DRAWN.

The curtains are drawn and 'ence

But yesterday song filled the ambient
air;
She has gone far away, with her
breast full Of glee,
She will watch the white sails, never
thinking of me,
While she rests must toll, but It's
little she'll care.
The salt spray will cling in her zephyr
brown hair,
And freckles perhaps may contrive to
impair
The complexion that erst from their
taints was so free
The curtains are drawn.
She has gone to the sea; she will
splash around there;
she has taken her dog, and her parrot
that ne'er
Seemed to weary of screechlng is
missing and she
Isn't prac~cing now to get up to
high c.
Though toll there is gladness still
left me to share
The curtains are drawn.
