THE NEED OF COURTESY.
1T Is to Business and Society What
Oil Is to Machinery.

II young people, especially in small
towns, would form courtesy CLUBS or
graft this idea upon existing organiza-
tions. it would result il great advaG-
tagc not only to the young people be-
longing to such associations, but also
to the towns themselves.
We find q great many men ana Wo-
men side tracked all along the path
NJays of life because they were not
taught the value Of good manners and
of q fine. gracious courtesy in their
youth. The result is that they have
grown UP hard and coarse and repul-
sive in manners and have not been able
TO win favor or attract trade or bust
ness. In other words, their bad man
ners and repulsive ways have kept
them back and handicapped their ca
reerS
1t is astonishing how fine manners
and politeness in children develop into
ease and attractiveness in manhood
and womanhood. Other things being
equal the employee who is selected for
advancement is the one with good NAH
ners, a fine, gracious demeanoT, Il good
presence. These qualities are the best
kind of capital, even better than
money.
Everywhere we see young men and
young women drawing big salaries
largely because of their superior polite
ness. The fine hammered are wanted
everywhere as superintendent, as
statesmen, as travelling representatives.
as clerks, as private secretaries or as
credit men. In fact, agreeable deport-
ment is the one indispensable quality
sought after everywhere.
There is nothing else which will so
quickly open the door to opportunities,
TO society, to the hearts of all.
Courtesy is to business and society
what oil is to machinery. 1t makes
things run smoothly, for it eliminates
the jar and friction and the nerve rack

VOTE TO SELL ISLANDS.
Proposal Adopted by Danish Parlia-
ment Provides for Taking of
Plebiscite in Islands.

Copenhagen, April 3o.-The bill pro-
viding for the sale of the Danish West
India islands to the United States, as
amended by the landsthing, came up
for discussion in the folkething Tues
day, with the result that the party in
the majority submitted proposal, as
follows:
"The rigsdag (diet, composed of both
houses) approves the cession, on con-
dition that the inhabitants of the is
lands declare in favor thereof by
plebiscite, similar to the one taken
in 1867.
The proposal was adopted by vote
of 90 TOT.
The landsthing is expected to agree
to the folkething's decision, with some
minor notifications regarding the de-
tails of the plebiscite. The anti-sale
element is now devoting its attention
to influencing the voting of the is
landers themselves. 1t is known that
one influential person has already
mailed thousands of anti-sale circu-
lars to the island of ST. Thomas.

head of the department of agriculture, and
is now generally observed in all the states.
His constant motto was to 'plant trees"
having it stamped in large letters under
picture of tree on his stationery. He was
an inveterate letter writer. He found keen
enjoyment in answering the communica-
tons from farmers, and it was no unusual
occurrence for him to call newspaper men
into his office to read the answers he was
writing to farmers, often giving out por-
tons of them for publication.
The ex-secretary was exactly 70 years old,
Sunday having been the anniversary of
his birthday. He was of Scotch-Englsh
descent. He was born in Jefferson county,
NJ Y. but his parents moved to Michigan

ate of Union college, New York. Mr.. Nor
ton was connected editorally, for a time,
with the Detroit Free Press and the Chi
cago Times, and then located at Beleville,
Neb., in November, 1854, where In April fol-
lowing he issued the first number of the
Nebraska City News. He was elected to
the territorial legislature the same year and
reelected in 1857. He was appointed secre-
tary of the territory in 1858, to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Thomas B.
Cunning, and served until May, 1861, part
Of the time as acting governor. He was
elected to congress in 1860, but was unseated

PUNISHED BY ITALY.
at Venice for Disorderly Con-
duct-Sent to Prison.

Venice, Italy April 29.-The officers
-of the United States cruiser Chicago
arrested for disorderly conduct and
street fighting in this city last Fri
day night were on Monday sentenced
to terms of imprisonment. Capt.
Robert P. Wynne, commanding the
marine guard of the Chicago, was
looked upon as the leader in the dis
turbance and received the heaviest
sentence. The court ordered him to
serve four months and ten days i'm
prisonment. Robert E. Ledbetter, as
sistant surgeon; Lieut.. John S. bod
bridge and a marine named Wilfred
Langtry were each sentenced to three
months imprisonment.
Public sentiment in Venice is bitter
toward the officers, but the press eX-
presses qualification over the prompt
action of Capt. Dayton, of the Chi
,cago, in visiting the project of police
to express his regret over the affair,
and to promise that the guilty men
should be given an additional punish
ment by the United States navy after
their release from the italian jail.

A PATHETIC STORY.
Misfortunes Which Have Come to
Young Woman Immigrant. Keep
ing Her from Her Husband.

New York, April 3o.-stranded on
Ellis island with three weeks old
baby in her arms, is a young wom-
an, who, but for the accident
which happened to the steamship
Neckar in February last, causing it
to be towed into Halifax, would now
be living with her husband in Salem,
Ohio. In October last Ferdinand
Bruclner left Hermstadt, Lueber-
gen, to seek home in this coun-
try. In January he sent for his
wife, promising to meet her here on
her arrival. Mrs. BrucEner en-
parked on the Neckar. When that
vessel finally reached Halifax the
authorities sent Mrs. Bruckner to a
hospital. Bruckner came here to
meet his wife, but, after long wait,
is thought to have returned to Sa-
lem. When the young woman was
discharged from the hospital in Hal
flax she was turned over to United
States Commissioner Thomas, who
ordered her sent here for deporta
ton, her ticket and letters having
been lost in her illness. Efforts are
being made to locate Bruckner.

PASSES AWAY AT LONDON.
Dies After Long Illness-Evans
May Be His Successor.

London, April 30.-United States
Consul General Osborne died at his
residence in Wimbledon at 10:3U
o'clock Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Osborne's death was not sur
prise to his friends. He had been con-
fined to his home since November last,
suffering from Bright's disease and
dropsy, which, latterly, affected his
heart. He was conscious until near
the end. The deceased never had been
absolutely well since he arrived in Eng
land.
William Mckinley Osborne was APP
pointed consul general at London by
President Mckinley on March IS, 1897.
He was born at Girard, o., in 1912.
Later he removed to Boston. Mr.. Os-
borne was a cousin of the late Presi-
dent Mckinley.
Washington, April 3O.-The deceased
consul general was cousin to the late
President Mckinley, his mother being
sister of President McKinley's IA
Their. He was resident of Roxbury,
Mass. and was appointed to London
five years ago. The post is consid-
cred to be the plum of the United
| States foreign service, for the COM
pensation averages about $4,000 per
annum, and the expenses are not par
| ticularly large. Mr.. Osborne was Sec
rotary of the republican national COM
mittee during McKinley's first cam
| paign for the presidency. He had been
ailing for several years from Bright's
disease, it is believed, and he was in
| ill health when he last visited the
United States, about two years ago.
His family, wife and several chill
dren, were with him in Europe, the
Oldest boy at an English college, and
his younger daughters at school in
Paris.
Washington, April 3o.-Commission-
er of Pensions Evans was caller at the
white house Tuesday, and while there
the president informed him of the
death of William Mckinley Osborne,
consul general to London, and in an
informal manner offered him the va
cant position. No formal tender of the
place was made and none will be, as the
president wants to pay the proper re-
spect to the memory of the dead con-
sui. Mr.. Evans said that he would take
the offer under advisement, but. no
doubt he will accept.
