THE FOOL AT THE WEDDING. One Kind of Idiot Whose Suppressicr
 Seems Impossible.

When MT. and Mrs. Clinton E. Keel CT. of Syracuse. N. Y, turned from the altar at which they had taken the sacred and solemn VOW the other day their loving friends 1locked around them to express their delight and pre- sent their congratulations. Suddenly while the bride was being kissed by the gentlemanly ushers and the groom was applying chaste salutes to the lips of the bridesmaids several strong young men bounced upon the happy couple and hand-cuffed them together. The key was then thrown away, and MT. and Mrs. Keeler were let to get apart when they happened to have time and could induce somebody with a file to operate. Owing to the fact that they had arranged to leave on d through train shortly after the ceremo- ny they had to go to the railway station locked together, and in that predica- ment get aboard the car.
 Of course the perpetrators of the joke considered this great fun. and if the newly married couple exhibited any annoyance they were doubtless set down as poor, ungrateful wretches. who were incapable of appreciating a good thing.

this world, and they are to be found in every crowd. They run to fires, they gather at dog fights, they rock boats. and they change large bills for strang- CTS, but a careful study of the matter would probably show that fools are found in larger numbers at weddings than anywhere else in the world. There seems to be a general idea abroad, in fact, that one is not doing the proper thing at wedding unless he is making fool of himself. There are probably more kinds of foolishness indulged in at weddings than all other ceremonies combined, and it appears that there is no help. The wedding fool is absolute ly incorrigible.
 We might suggest that good dous- irg in cold water would probably tend tc diminish the ardor of the wedding foCl, but there would be danger in a general deluge of bringing unnecessary discomfort to innocent people. The world is waiting for some public bene- factor to come forward with an eff fective and available method of put ting the wedding fool out of business Chicago Record-Herald.

The Russian Route Across Asia,

The prominence which the Manchu- rian question now holds in the public mind lends additional interest to an ar ticle in the current number of the Ar my and Navy Journal in which Unit CT States army officer gives the de- tails of his journey from Manila to Europe over the Siberian railway. Should there be war between Russia and Japan, the Russian troops would be pushed to the front over this rail- road.
 The journey on steamer from Manila hours at cost of s16.6O in gold. The fare from Hong Kong to Nagasaki, Ja- pan, is $36 gold. From there steamers run to connect with the Siberian rail : way at Dalny or Vladivostock. The trip to Dalny is made in forty two hours and the fare to either Dalny or Vladivostock is s21.2O gold.
 At Dalny tickets are sold to the city or station of Manchuria for $57.25. This is four days tourney. At Man churia tickets are sold to Moscow for sS5; time ten days. From Moscow to Paris the time is thirty hours and the fare is s65. From Paris to Cherbourg the time is twelve hours and the fare 8.
 For meals between Dalny and Cher bourg the cost is S2 per day, or for the seventeen days $34. From Cherbourg to New York the time is seven days the fare $I5. The cost of the trip from Nagasaki. Japan, to New York is s345, and the time is twenty-six and half days
 The trains between Dalny and Mos seventeen to nineteen miles per hour with long stops at the principal sta stions. It is believed that on the American plan the trip could be made in six days.
 The accommodations east of Irkutsk were. when this trip was made, in July. not up to the standard of those be- tween Irkutsk and Moscow, which are pronounced as good as any on the Flu ropean railways. The trip from Dallmy to New York was made in twenty four days. This time, it is believed, can be shortened to twenty days, at a cost of s321.
 Travellers, it is explained. were not inconvenienced by the climate. Sibe- ria is described as not dreary. but a beautiful green from one end of the line to the other, and the road is said to be not as dusty as the ordinary rail- road in the United States. Travel'ng at second class the trip from Na agasakl or Shanghai to New York could be made for $40.
 the world trip by this route now is n the steamer connections between San Francisco and Dalny. If direct steamship line between San Francisco and Dalny or Seattle and Dalny is es- tablished, then it will be possible to make a trip around the world by this route in from thirty-one to thirty-five days.
 At present speed on the Siberian rail- way the traveller can cross Europe and Asia from ocean to ocean in seventeen days. Under contemplated improve ments the trip may be made in ten or twelve days.

ONE CAUSE OF FOREST FIRES.

If the report which comes from Red Ging is true, ar explanation is furnish ed for some of the mysterious forest fires which break out annually in the timber belt of the Sierra. Some 4,000 acres of fine forest growth, located or the western slope of Ratchet Creek mountain. in Shasta county, owned by the Mountain Copper Mining company, have recently been destroyed by fire. This forest fire is now believed to have been started by cattle raisers to clear the land of goats and sheep. which were probably encroaching upon territory the cattle men desired to ap proprate to their own uses.
 The feud between the cattle men and the sheep growers is growing more intense each year or the ranges. Hitherto it has been confined, how ever, to the occupation of land in the public domain, on which both were trespassers. The government is having trouble with both in the forest re- serves, and drastic measures have had to be employed to drive them off the ground and to prevent them from en- tering it. Carrying their feuds on to private property is apparently some thing new. If these rivals for free lSeu TOT lneir HOOKS ana nerdS are re- sorting to the torch as an agent of offense against one another. it Is time for the authorities having jurisdiction over the territory affected by their opa- rations to intervene. Some one needs rounding up. It is bad enough for the timber lands to suffer from accidental fires, but when forest fires are delib- erately started for the accomplish ment of selfish private ends no pun ishment can be neted out to the cul- prits which will be too severe-San Francisco Chronicle

Discuss Legislative situation.
The legislative situation is still a matter
for conjecture. Several members Of the
lower house we're in the city this after
noon. Among them was Representative
Perry Of Cambridge. He refused to say
anything concerning his candidacy for the
speakership. but he did express his con-
viction that the honor would go to the
west. Neither Mockett nor Thompson, &C
cording to him. have any positive assur-
ance that they will win out. Mr.. Perry
said that he would not be surprised to see
the caucus take up a western man.
Morsman. Gilbert. Nelson and Koetter OF
the Douglas county delegation have been
in the city today. Mr.. Nelson, who acted
ss spokesman for the others, said that the
delegation was not pledged to support any
candidate and he gave the impression that
no guaranty OF support would be given to
any candidate, unless he was sure to win
out. In that event he intimated the whole
delegation would make haste TO climb into
the band wagon. He also said that the
outlook is good for the appointment OF a
Douglas county member as chairman Of the
judiciary committee.
Despite the statement OF Mr.. Nelson that
the delegation is unpledged, a persistent
rumor has been in circulation today to the
effect that the delegation would support
Thompson when it comes to a showdown.
