For ages such a court has been
longed for, 10 step the setsNrg Of
quarreis between nations. without the
wholesale murder and mAns ing at
war; the grinding taxation incident
to 1t, and worse than all. its moral
evils. But NO plan of grasp enough

courts of leading nations being the

hit on, says the New Jersey Gazette.
The idea of needle with the eye in
its point, is the central one of the
sewing machine. So this one, of chief
justices, as above suggested, is the
central idea Of The Hague peace court.
This central thought originated with
and was first suggested by Mr.
George May Powell. geographical
publisher in Philadelphia, resid ng in
GLOUCESTER county, y. j. He gave it
us first prominent utterance, in
speech of his, at the great peace con-
gress at Ocean Grove, n. j., July 81,
1894. February "a, 1876, Senator Frye,
q Maine, presented it as a memorial

Mr.. Powell presented the plan in a
forceful speech at the Molronk confer

scented in the United States senate a
memorial signed by Stephen Field,

Williams, of the Pennsylvania supreme

TO DIMINISH FRAUD.
Plan to Rain Business Of Dealers IN
Spurious Antiquities.
seheme IL for Appointment Of Boafd
of Experts to WHOM buyers
May Refer Their Treasures
for InspectiOn.

A practical scheme for the suppress
sion offalle" antiques has attracted the
attention OF connoisseurs abroad and
promises to become popular in America.
1t is the appointment Of a recognized
board of experts to whom any purchaser
may refer his newly acquired treasure
for inspection. If they decide that the
thing is not all the dealer claimed they
will force him to disgorge the price PAID
and Withdraw his wares from the mar
ket.
In London the scheme has taken the
form Of an Art Collectors Protective So
ciety. s. A. Austin, secretary OF this
new association, explained its plan and
scope to a representative Of the Phila-
delphia North American recently.
"The time has come" he said, when
he public refuse any longer to be VIC
imized by fraud and imitation. Edu-
cation has diffused artistic feelings over
the land, so that the ranks Of collectors
increase daily; yet an ever-growing de-
maHd comes from America. where big
prices are no particular objection.
'In Holland and Germany and Paris
manufacturers of fake antiques have
sprung up and are now fiourishing. We
have few English forgers also at work,
but they are neither so numerous nor so
clever as the men abroad.
Into England china forgeries often
pass with a in-Germany' label

GREAT RUN OF STURGEON.
Fishermen of New Jersey Are Made

The excitement attending a great
strike Of gold in the Klondilie could be

sturgeon fishermen, at Bayside, N. j..
The other day it was at its highest ten

made Not in dozen years has there
been such run of the big, profitable
fish Ones boats crew after another
landed with two or three big ones, and
then moved out into the bay again for
another haul. This was kept up
throughout the day, and when night
fell most of the crews had from 40 to
so fish.
As roe is fetching more than dol
lar pound, the fishermen had a iubila-
ton.
For severa years for no known cause
the run of sturgeon in the Delaware
bay has been gradually falling off, till
many of the fishermen have abandoned
the business and sold out their rigging
and boats The catch has been 50 fight

The New York World says feature
of President Roosevelt's recent grand
tour little remarked upon was its eX-
clusively western route Yet there is
significance in the fact that in the
latest and longest presidential trip on
record, made. as everyone understands.
with an eye on the presidential nomi-
nation next year. the eastern and mid
die states were all left unvisited
OF the twenty-five states to which
Mr.. Roosevelt addressed himself. less
than half were in existence when the
first republican president was elected.
Mr.. Blaine was the first republican
candidate for the presidency who turn
ed his face distinctly toward the west
as the main source of his strength, and
half limited the belief that he could
be elected without New York and a
solid New England But Blaine. noml-
mated by the west, was beaten in the
east. Mr.. Cleveland was the first can
didate to secure a majority in the cleo
tOral college so large that even if New
Yorks big vote had been cast against
him he would still have been elected.
That was in 1892. and since then the
weight of the west in the electoral
scales has considerably increased.
Four years later. in 1896. and again
in 1900. Mr.. Bryan familiarized us with
the idea that the west has grown large
and strong enough TO elect presidents
without the help of New York in partic-
ular and of the east in general-if it
chose. He spoke of the eastern states
the enemy's country" and invoked the
spirit of a new sectionalism. The re-
suit showed that while, as in Mr..
CIeveland's case in 1892, the west could
and might give votes enough to elect
a candidate without New York if New
York voted for him also, it would not
line up solidly for a candidate for
whom New would not vote.
Still. Mr.. Roosevelt's exclusively
western tour is a reminder Of the
growing political weight of the young
America beyond the Mississippi
There is fortunately no possibility OF
a new geographical line separating the
east from the west in our national poi
itics. The eastern frontier is contin-
ually moving west. Ohio and Illinois
are both back Of it today, though they
We're far west when Lincoln was first
elected.

BURKE's MURDERER CAPTURED

The $500 reward offered for the STAY
er of Peter F. Burke has brought re-
suits. The man wanted was captured
Saturday. Goth inst, by Sheriff Ralph
of San Bernardino county, at Aqua
ldansa, q Mexican settlement near San
Bernardino. His name is Rafael Be
larde. He acknowledged that he had
been in hiding in various places.
Constable Billy Koran of Picachho
was notified Tuesday by the San
Diego authorities to come after the
prisoner and take him to Picachho for
preliminary examination, but he re-
spectfully declined. Koran was in
Yuma later and wired the San Diego
officials that it would be foolhardy to
take Belarde into the Picacho camp,
owing to the superior number of Mex
leans. nearly all of whom were friendly
to the man and would not hesitate 70
rescue and set him free. Koran re-
ceived a reply that the prisoner would
be indicted by the grand jury and his
removal to Picacho would be unnec-
essary. Billy returned to the camp to-
day much relieved. 1t was much pleas
anter to be relieved of the prisoner that
way.-Yuma Sentinel.

MIKE ROSE DEAD.

On Sunday. the 21st inst. at $3.50 p.
m, Mike Rose. n we'll known citizen
of Clifton, breathed his last
He had been sick but a few days,
and even his most intimate friends
did not realize that he was dangerous
ly i'll, hence his sudden death was
great shock to them.
Deceased was thirty three years Of
age. He was reared at Silver City
New Mexico. and was a resident OF
that section until he moved to Cliff
ton two years ago.
At the breaking out of the Spanish
American war he Joined the Rough
Riders. and was one of the few Grant
county boys who saw service in Cuba
He was with the Rough Riders at FL
Caney and San Juan, and was person.
ally complimented by Colonel Roose-
welt for his conduct in those engage
ments.
After the surrender of Santiago he
was taken sick with the Cuban fever.
from the effects of which he never
fully recovered. Until that time he
was a perfect specimen of physical
manhood.-Copper Era.

YAVAPAI MINES.
The Situation at Various Properties
Under Development.

J. c. Rankin and Louis Wolfley have
gone TO Chicago in company with the
party of Chicago capitalists who have
been visiting the properties of the
Climax Gold company, the Braganza
Gold Mining company and the Mer-
chants Mining company in this coun-
~ for several days. The visitors We're
highly pleased with all the properties
they visited, and well they might be.
for the latter two are already good di-
vidend payers and there is no doubt
but that the Climax Gold company has
a property that will take its place
among the regular dividend payers in
a short time, as the showing is simply
wonderful, and as soon as the mill is
completed and put in operation there
is an abundance of splendid ore ready
TO be turned into money.
James Hart has been working the
Senator mine on a lease for the past
four or five months and is said to be
obtaining good results. He has been
taking out ore which goes from SO
to $40 per ton in gold. and expects to
have it worked in the Cash mill.
Work has been commenced on the
Crowned King mines after their lying
idle for several years. \ tunnel being
run into the Ash Spring claim for the
purpose of developing water has al
ready encountered good ore.
J. S. Acker, who returned from
visit to the Corona company's property,
brought in some fine specimens of cop
per ore. of which he says there is an
abundance in sight. Mr.. Acller is quite
enthusiastic over the outlook FOR this
mine as he says that it is showing up
away beyond their most sanguine ex-
pectations.

Little Jessie mine Immediately on his
return from San Diego about q week

THOMAS JEFFERSON. FARMER.

Like Washington, Jefferson delighted
in farming. THE hope of nation, -
he wrote in his youth, lies in the till

him tremendously as President JEFF
Terson."
Farmer Jefferson the distinguished
statesman interposed; Il would rather
be Farmer Jefferson than to have all
the titles of Europe
His garden book, covering a period
of half century. shows the precision
with which he farmed at Monticello.
Here, for example, is an excerpt from
his memoranda for July of one year:
July 15-Cucumbers came to table.
Planted out celery. Sowed patch of
peas for fall. Planted snap beans.
July 22-Had the last dish of our
