NEWSPAPER OPINION
Edwards Love OF Show
From the N. Y. Commercial Advert,

From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
King Edwards first drawing noom at
Buckingham Palace was the revival in
full splendor of a court function that
had been partly in abeyance for over
forty years. During the late Queen
reign the shadow Of mourning was
never wholly absent from the life Of
the court. and the one cause of slight
popular disapproyal of her was That
she would make very few concessions
to the love Of pageantry which is in
grained in the British character. That
restraint is now removed, and the evil
dent purpose OF King Edward to en-
Ilhasize ceremonial will be eagerly well
coined. 1t may be asked, OF what
political consequence is this in Eng
land, and what interest has il for an
American observer? Etiquette Is the
very breath of life Of a limited mon
archy. and the more hedged about
with importance the more isolated il is
from the political power which legal
fiction roposes in the King. If the
present sovereign starts his reign as
a strict upholder OF his social head
ship, the more certainly win his rem
nant Of political headship dwindle
away and become lost in the efficient
control of his advisers. For us, the
observing of a court life revived with
all the usual accessories, probably
with some new ones added will not be
uninteresting, either as a spectacle OF
as an experiment with ethical implica-
tions. Certainly we shall see some
decided manifestations in England If
the moral standard imposed by the ex-
ample Of the late Queen is not strictly
observed. Unlike Newport. British
court life can be called to account

Welcome the Queen
Queen stands at the gate.

The Queen stands at the gate,
The Queen Of spring,
And seems TO hesitate
To come and bring
Her birds and flowers and bees,
For winters breath
Yet fingers and may freeze
Her pets to death.
But soon hSr smile so warm
VIII melt the frost,
Her motherly alarm;
Be from her tossed;
She'll deck the lawns and trees
With living green.
Breathe balm into the breeze,
The gracious Queen;
She'll paint the timid flowers
With heavenly hues
And etrew the vernal bowers
With gems profue;
Her hand viii tint the skies
A charming blue,
And from their unseen eyes
Bring freshening dew
AS livening tears to fall
Upon the earth
And mystically call
The seeds to birth.
That lazy feeling she

Till screwed up faces we
All walk behind.
Our maidens' cheeks she'll flush
With bloom twill take
The cookie from the blush

She'll cause the sighing ones
AS birds to mate
And start Ike Walton's sons
To dig for bait.
She'll bring us hats Of straw
And circus socks.
And place within our paw
The beer that books.

Rich blessings she

Well rise and sing
That grand old welcome song:

Gift In Return For Diamonds Restored.
From Lodi Herald


Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. LeMcin this
week were the recipients of handsome
set of single harness, the gift of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Uhl of Visalia, which
forms the nucleus to a pretty little
story of grateful appreciation
Returning to Pacific Grove from
Moss Beach during her recent stay at
the coast, Mrs. LeMoin found chate-
laine purse containing two rings, one
with diamond setting and another with
opal and pearl settings, besides dia-
mond pin and a small sum of money.
Mr.. LeMoin Immediately commenced a
search for the rightful owner and was
not long in locating her in Mrs. Uhl of
Visalia. The property was returned,
and Mrs. Uhl naturally was profuse in
her gratitude, explaining that the
jewels were gifts from her husband.
There the incident passed from the
memory of Mr.. and Mrs. LeMoin, but
its recurrence was brought about by
the receipt a few days since of the neat
express package containing the hsr-
ness. 1t is splendid set, and is the
handiwork of Mr.. Uhl himself. The
same day brought a prettily worded
letter begging the recipients to receive
the testimonial in the same spirit in
which it was proffered. Assurances
were forwarded by Mr.. LeMoin to Mr.
Uhl that his request had been granted
with pleasure.

Midnight Providers.

A mysterious attempt to burglarize
the dwelling occupied by j. Glukfeldt,
the manager of the Red Front store,
occurred this week. His family lives
in the upper part of the Caminetti resi-
dence on Summit street, the basement
being occupied by L. Costa and family
Sunday night about three o'clock,
loud rappings were made at Glukfeldt's
door, waking the inmates. As soon as
those inside became aware of the opera
tions, the disturber left. The follow :
ing night, about the same unreasonable
hour, similar knockings we're heard.
During Wednesday night the third at
tempt to get in was made, this time
through the basement portion. The
window of the sleeping room of L..
Costa was smashed. Costa gave the
alarm, and awakened those upstairs,
whereupon the intruder hastily with
drew. The man was seen by Mr..
Glukfeldt, but could not be identified.
He had a horse tied on Summit street
north of the dwelling, and was seen
riding away in the direction of the
leila mine. The motive for these do
ings is involved in mystery.

Back from Dawson.

George Poggi, son of L, Poggi, the
barber, got back from Dawson We'd
nesday evening. He left Jackson
nearly five years ago, bound for the
new Ell Dorado of the far north, at
that time attracting the attention of
the whole world. He lived in Dawson
four years, and in Nome over one year.
He left Dawson for his Amador home
seven weeks ago. He was chiefly en-
ployed in working at his trade for
wages, and while the wage rate was
high, the price of everything was on
correspondingly high grade. To give
some idea of the schedule of prices, we
may mention that room rent ranges
from SS to $40 per week; meals, IS
cents and 81. The wage rate for miners
has fallen to S. per day; and with the
short working season, it can readily be
seen that little headway can be made
in that region at such pay. George is
looking well, and apparently has not
suffered in, health from his experience
in the frozen north. He will remain in
Amador county for some time,

The Herald Suspends.

Jackson has gathered another news
paper infant to its graveyard. The
Herald, which has been running under
difficulties ever since it started in jan
uary last, surrendered to the inevitable
with its issue of Saturday. In it's short
life, three newspaper men have tackled
it, and each one found it too big load
to pack. There never was the slight
est cause for the starting of the Herald.
There was no demand for it, and the
business of the town has never been
equal to the support of three papers.
w. r. Selkirk, the last in charge of
the Herald, and who is an experienced
newspaper man, realized that it takes
money to run newspaper even in
campaign times, and sufficient amount
Of the wherewith failing to materialize,
he wisely concluded to quit. The
plant is owned by F. NJ. Whitmore,
who has bill of sale of it as security
for money loaned. 1t is not at all
probable that any other printer OF
editor will muster up courage to resur.
rect the defunct concern.

and in searching for it Mrs Butler saw
some rock that aroused her curiosity
She told her husband to break off a
piece, but he laughed at her. She
took the pick herself and clipped off a
few pieces and put them into her hus-
bands pocket. He carried them
around for several weeks. and finally
gave one piece to an assayer and told
him to assay it and he would give him
one-eighth of the mine if it proved of
value The assayer, however, threw
the piece out OF the window as soon as
Butler left his office. Two other as
sayers were asked to assay the rock,
one OF which did as the other had done,
Threw The rock away, considering
IL worthless. The third assayer In
vestigated the sample closely, assayed
1t. and pronounced it very rich. There
upon the other assayers hunted up the
rock thrown away and assayed IT,
corroborating in every particular the
hrst assay. In the meantime Butler
went away, and was not seen for three
months. When he did return he found
the three assayers and a number OF
other prospectors vainly trying to lind
where the ore came from. They only
came within half mile OF hitting the
spot however. Butler slipped away
from them one night and located what
is now known as the Mispah ledge. To
his credit be it said that when he re-
ceived his money from the sale of the
mine he paid over the one-eighth to
the assayer just as he agreed. Butler
is a stocky built, quick spoken man,
full of life, and with turn for games,
in all of which he is lucky. He is not
averse to social glass on occasion.
He spends most of his time at Tonopah.
Mrs. Butler remains on the home stock
ranch, some thirty miles from Tonopah.
She is loved by all who know her, and
is noted for her goodness of heart and
generosity to strangers in need of aid.
There are several Jacksonites in
Tonopah, all of whom seem well pleased
with the camp. Mr.. Claude M. Smith
is especially pleased with the outlook
He has taken prominent position
among the young people of the place,
and is doing his part to add to the
social, religious, and moral status of
the place. P. BURLINGTON.
