CHRISTENING is DEFERRED.
Novel Excuse for a Sunday Crowd In a
Saloon.

Saloon.
Edward J. Carroll gave Magistrate Ba-
ker, in the Morrlsania police court today,
a novel excuse for having had a crowd OF
people in his saloon, at Lincoln avenue and
One Hundred and Thirty sixth street last
Sunday afternoon. He said that the party
was waiting to attend a christening but
was disturbed by the entrance of Detective
Sergeant Collins, who arrested him.
Did the christening take placer" asked
Magistrate Baker.
No" replied Carroll, land If the child
dies before 1t Is christened and goes to
purgatory 1t will be the detectives fault"
Magistrate Baker thought hard for a few
minutes and then held Carroll in $500 bail
for trial.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiser

next week. The union has raised the
wages and next week / will go on
another mill at 81 90 per day. If one
could put in steady time it would be
all right, but the cold rain and wind
stops the work at least one-third of
the time. House building at present
is almost suspended on account of the
rain. July and August are the months
when the boom on houses commences.
There will be at least 800 built as soon
as the weather will permit,
There are 26 schooners in the har-
Dor to day waiting their turn for
lumber, and several more anchored
near the bar waiting for the tug boat
to pull them in. About all you can
see here is water on one side and
mountains aud timber on the other
side. When it is clear we can sec the
Olympia Mountains covered with snow.
There has only been one or two days
the past winter that were clear enough
for one to see the snow.

Light Out Of Darkness.

Helen Keller, the blind and deaf
girl who has astonished the world by
the marvellous progress she has made
in spite of the fact that the ordinary
sources of information are closed, de-
livered an address at New York re-
Gently in which she said: II am
studying economics this year, aud |
have learned that it is the condition OF
social life that people shall work for
one another, and ii is the interest OF
society to enable every member to
work. A human being who does not
work is not a member of society and
can have no standing in it,"
1t is strange that this frail being
whose sightless orbs look only Into
the darkness which the blind see" and
whose ears have heard only "the still
ness which the deaf hear" has dis
covered truth unseen by countless
millions who trample upon each other
in their mad effort to secure the lions
share of earth's bounties; strange that
the harmony of human life should have
penetrated her understanding when it
is unheard by multitudes of selfish and
self-centered people. Why is it?
Either some companion has given her
an ideal which shapes her thoughts or,
protected from the frivolities of life by
the wall which her misfortunes have
builded, her heart Is open to the
highest and the best impulses.
Christ, in the beautiful parable OF
the sower, explains why some receive
truth more readily than others. Some
seed, He said, fell where the thorns
sprang up and choked it, and in in
terpreting its meaning to His disciples
He said that the cares of this world
and the deceitfulness of riches, choke
the truth. So it has ever been; the
cares OF this world and the deceitful-
ness of riches still choke the truth.
Helen Keller's heart seems to be the
good ground where seed Is free to
grow and where it brings forth many
fold The Comn1oner.

account of its own experience. Here
il a paper which, having once pos
sessed the second-class mailing right,
lost it by suspension, and upon resum'
ing publication was compelled to make
a new application. Such an applica-
tion should have been granted without
delay or other annoyance upon proof
of the good faith OF the publisher.
But it was months after the applica-
tion before Mr.. Tucker received his
second class licenae. Meantime q red
tape investigation slowly proceeded,
which escaped being exasperating only
because its details we're so absurdly
comical The latest instance of totally
unwarranted interference with legiti-
mate second-clsss publications has to
do with the Nebraska Independent Of
Lincoln. This is an established weekly
paper, perhaps the most important
and influential of the Populist press.
During the spring its editor conceived
the idea of making one of it's regular
issues Henry George edition." and
this idea was carried out in May.
The special issue differed from the
others only in being devoted to dis
cussion by many writer's Of the Henry
George idea. Yet the postoffice de-
partment has taken steps which
threaten the existence Of the paper.
AS we have heretofore freely discussed
this subject of the second-class postal
censorship OF the press (vol. v. PIP, 548,
1876, 211, 46S, 515, 54S), which is ap-
parently designed especially to en-
barrass radical papers, it is not neces-
sary to dwell upon these more recent
instances of its operation; but this
much at least should now be repeated,
that there is an increasing necessity
for taking away from the postoffice de-
partment, and reposing wholly in the
courts, the question of the right, in
individual cases, to secondcla mail
accommodations - The Public.

SKIING IN AMERICA.
Americans Are backward in Many of
the BEST Winter sports and
Miss Lot of Fun.

1t is a mistake to suppose that ski
ing can be enjoyed only by our Can
adian friends, says Country Life in
America. Everyone who lives in
hill country where there is any snow
at all should try this exciting pas
time. A pair of skis and pole cost
about dollar and half. The run
ners are usually six or seven feet
long, about four inches wide, and the
pole may be ten or twelve feet in
length. On account of the small ex-
pense and informal nature of the
sport, skiing is just the thing for those
parts of the United States where the
winter is essentially changeable sea-
son. Some sports may demand a
steady winter; skiing does not. In
certain parts of the United States ski
ing has already caught on" For ex-
ample, good many of the Cornell
students carry their skis to the class
room and slide home on them. In the
mining camps of the upper Michigan
the Swedes and Norwegians come fly
ing down their race-courses, shoot off
a sort of spring g-board, rise to thrill
ing height and achieve an astonishing
leap before they tumble into the wait
ing snowbank. But the ski is a good
thing for everyday use and fun. One
can pole along on the level fairly well
In almost any kind or depth of snow,
and on crust skis are quicker than
snow-shoes. Skis cost less than a
good pair Of skates or a good bob
sled, and they furnish a novel meth
cd of sliding down hill. 1t is easy to
learn. Two or three tumbles do the
business. If you get one foot well
ahead of the other you are certainly
"goner." The man who leans back
is likely to have q laughable mix
up." 1t is best to stand erect, or
crouch forward so as to brace one
self. The pole is trailed behind and
used to steer by.
The people of the United States are
provincial in the matter Of winter
sports. We have been missing "a lot
Of fun" and it is high time that we

Ed. RegiSter:-As it has been quite

This country is cl. u boom at pres
ent, there are three large saw and

large shingle mill just completed and
everything is prosperous. Wages are
good and living is out of sight; smoked
bacon rs cents pound, hams "a cents,
round steak 25 cents, and all provis-
ions in proportion, except flour, which
is So 90 per cwt. When man pays
his bills there is but little left.
To. day has been very nice day; no
fog on the ocean. Several four-m asst
scooners came in to day and five
arrived yesterday, with sails spread,
which was sight as they followed the
tide in. They were foreign vessels
and anchord in the harbor for in
spection before they were admitted to
the lumber docks.
My family and have been to the
beach once; it was cold and foggy but
we enjoyed the trip and got our lunch
| basket full of shells and star fish.
We expect to be in Missouri by
Xmas, as the rainy weather spoils this

steads are all taken. There are many
people coming out here from Missouri
and most OF them are dissatisfied. |

when there were plenty of claims, and
he has one of tire best claims in the

Payne's Part.

President Roosevelt comes TO the de-
Tense of Postmaster-G General Payne
with the statement that he did not
force Mr.. Payne into the investigation
OF the postal service, but that it was
the result of Mr.. Payne's own views.
1t ls not very probable that there has
been any conflict between the two as
to this matter. Indeed, in view OF
Mr.. Payne's former political record, it
is much more probable that he was
put in charge Of the department for
the purpose of securing all available
ammunition against the anti-Roosevelt
faction, and making the department of
aid in the great work of controlling
the nomination of 1904.
That Mr. Payne's work in this direc-
tion has been very effective is evident
from the points where the blows have
fallen and the speed with which the
anti-Roosevelt people are taking to
cover. But Mr.. Payne is apparently
not going to be satisfied with controll-
ing the national convention, and is
going after the machines in the several
States that have been the seats of the
greatest hostility to the strenuous po-
litical life. Ohio is captured, and
New York seems to be slipping out Of
Plalt's hands. The star of Roosevelt
is ascendant, and Mr.. Payne is largely
the cause OF it.
The strongest resistance left appears
to be in Indiana, where Senator Bever-
idge is the recognized representative
OF the administration. As a candidate
for reelection to the Senate he natur-
ally expects State Central Committee
favorable to him and to the admins
tration, but outspoken defiance meets
his request for assurance OF loyalty.
Chairman Goodrich endeayors to com
promise by declaring for Roosevelt,
but obstinately refuses to commit him
self TO Beveridge. II may therefore

A CURIOUS MEAL.
Troop of British Soldiers in South
Africa Reduced to IA Diet of
jam and Monkey.

During the South African war, says
London Tit-Bits, our soldiers have
had some very queer meals, such as
mealie cobs straight, jappatties cooked
with dublin, horse flesh, mule steaks,
etc, but the most curious meal have
ever eaten was down on the Portu-
guese border while on the march
with Gen. Butler
Any soldier who was with Gen.
Butler at Lydenburg will remember
that after the occupation of that
place we were short of rations, and
had it not been for the guides (who
were instrumental in finding u cache
in the mountains) we should have
Jared badly indeed.
About three days after we had oc-
cupied Lydenburg u was told off
with my troop to escort convoy
to Nieel Spruit Ga small station on
the Portuguese border, about 20
miles distanD to bring back rations
and forage. On the way down we
met many natives, who, as usual,
clamored for some small trihes, such
as matches, etc. Having nothing else
/ but my rations, which consisted of
four biscuits, and one tin of beef, |
gave them away, thinking that l
should be able to get plenty at the
end of the journey, but l was to be
| disappointed, and found to my sor-
row that the convoy was to be for
age and tobacco only, as the rations
had not arrived. Of course, | was
left without food, which was an aw.
full predicament to be placed in, es-
peclally as we had two days jour.
| ney in front of us, for, though it
only took one day to go down, it
takes longer to return with the
wagons loaded.
On the journey down (being on the
right flank) I noticed lots of mon
keys and troops of balloons, who ran
off as we approached, chattering and
grunting, into the woods. Suddenly
it struck me, why not shoot one of
these monkeys? / have heard of
people eating them in some parts of
the world, SO why not me? l must
tell you that the men, like myself,
had been foolish enough to give
their rations away, and so were
| placed in the same situation as my
self, so [ suggested that we should
shoot a monkey, to which they
agreed. Well, we soon shot one, a
big fellow, and it was pitiful to see
the others, who, instead of running
away Gas we thought they would),
| gathered round the dead creature
md cried like human beings, but as
we came up, they made off, iabber-
rng and crying out piteously.
We carried the monkey to our
bivouac, and soon had it skinned. We
then made fire, there being plenty
of wood about, and in about an hours
time Mr.. Monkey was ready for din
ner, frizzling and cracking like a
sucking pig. / have tasted a good
many dishes in all parts of the globe,
but this one took the cake; for, to
our dismay, we had not got one bis
| @ulV ahlohS eic lob VI US, tlle only
thing we had being tin of jam, so
that there was nothing else to do
but sit down and make the best of
It. / must say that it was not bad
at ALL and ! think most of us made
4 hearty meal, but I should not care
to- eat it too often, and / don't think
shall forget in hurry the time !
