WILLARD AND HIS AUDIENCES.

Limited to character parts, Mr.. Will
lard has recognized that even within
that field only portion belongs to him,
the portion where dwells the men the
world may now and again play pranks
upon. but heartily respects and agrees
with one voice to call lovable And
that is because Mr.. Willard by nature
and temperament inclines to be gra-
cious and lovable himself, not one, in
deed, whom the world is likely to play
pranks upon, but one whom to see is to
admire for a picture of middle aged
charm more urbane than the rising
generation knows much about, more
wholesome and sincere than the COM
mon walks of life afford There is a
fascination in the very home of Mr..
Willard in London, off Abbey Road,
where his garden plot huns in summer
with the sound of bees and where he
devotes his leisure to the cultivation
OF Japanese lilies and carnations.
Again, there was the polished dignity
in his reply to an interviewer who
asked him If he found it true that
American audiences coarsen the art of
an actor. The actor whose part is
based on truth" he said, will not be
coarsened by any ."-Leslie's

ceived ScOtchman who turned France
upside down, or inside out. rather. with
his Mississippi bubble, is given the
doubtful compliment of first get-ricb-
quick honors, but he was by no means
first. nor was he the greatest, in the
history of the world. From the days
of antiquity to the present the get-rich-
quick boomer has fiourished.
In ancient times his methods were
more direct, and partook of military
aspect. but the inspiring motive was
the same. The king went to war be-
cause he wanted more territory, more
subjects, more power, and, incidentally,
more money. His mobiles assisted him,
taking their chances for what crumbs
the king might leave for their con-
sumption, and this assistance came in
the end from the miserable peasant
working in the fields. The noble took
the peasants produce and then he took
the peasant. The latter had no CHANGE,
no hope of gain, not even the excite
ment of gambling, IL we except the
great odds he assumed of losing his
life. At the conclusion of hostilities he
returned home to his poverty stricken
family. better off, perhaps. to the ex-
tent that he had been able TO steal a
few things from beings equally miser-
able with himself.
But time changed. 1t BECAME no
longer fashionable, or to speak plainly,
profitable. or safe TO seize your neigh
boris goods by force. In the evolution
Of the race, the predatory baron be-
came the bandit-the potentate of the
sea, the pirate. Now even the bandit
and the pirate, as we once knew them,
are extinct. But the spirit. or streak
OF human nature, which led men ito
scheme for riches without effort. to
plan for them by short cut methods.
remained. Hence, the get-rich-quick
concern. When the leveling process
OF time swept away kingly preroga-
tive, and brought the proving baron
to the gallowstree, wealth became di-
fused. The common citizen had more
and more of it, but there were about
the same number Of other people who
wanted it just as much as in the old
days.
And the common citizen, be it OBJ
served, when the first great shock of
being able to hold any money wore off,
developed the traits of his superior.
From each horizon he viewed higher
mountain. of affiuence. He also caught
the contagion of wealth. The man
above him could not, as before. put
him on the rack and wiring gold out of
him. but he could dazzle him by pict-
ures Of imaginary riches, and he has
been doing it ever since. Perhaps il is
gain to the world that the physical
anguish of the loser has given way to
mental regret; perhaps it signifies adj
vance that the common citizen has
money to lose, but it does not augur
we'll for his development that he is still
30 willing to lose tin other words
that he has learned so little. In time
he may become cautious, but human
nature is human nature, and is rather
hard to change. His only protection
now is that laws will be passed re-
straining the get-rich-quick element to
the narrowest limits. That is the
quicker way. Experience is too slow
teacher even though experience is
supposed to be potent enough to make
the fool wise.

The Fool and His Honey,

The trial of Colonel Robert Ammon.
a prominent lawyer of New York,
charged with completely in get-rich-
quick schemes-notably the 500 per cent
Miller swindle-began in New York on
the 4th instant. The trial OF Colonel
Ammon is of more than usual import
ance, for he has been the legal counsel
of some of the most notorious OF the
swindling concerns which have fleeced
unwary investors by promising ridicu-
lousy large dividends. His conviction.
however, will be a matter Of consider
able difficulty
One day this week the dispatches
from Washington announced that a
high official of the postoffice depart
ment had been arrested for being con-
nected with a get-rich-quick scheme.
Altogether. during the past few
weeks, the public has had an oppor-
tunity to become thoroughly warned
concerning the transparent frauds
which have been taking in millions by
promising big weekly profits. One out
fit after another has been forced to
suspend, several schemers have been
arrested, and the daily newspapers
have given facts sufficient to put the
most gullible sucker on his guard.
But we doubt whether any lesson of
permanent value will be gathered from
the exposures. So long as human ma
ture is what it is the old saw will hold
good, that a fool and his money are
soon parted. AS a matter of fact, there
IS nothing new in the get-rich- quick
swindles of today. II they are more
artistic than the frauds of century ago,
they are essentially the same in out
line-sOmething of value for nothing
has always been the bait. From tine

Specimens,

Geo. L. Hedges, general man.
ager Of the Lucky Lad mine came
out from the Hump Tuesday en-
route to Seattle. He brought with
him some fine specimens of ore

to demonstrate it in a few months.
He is increasing the force of men
at work and expects to be employ
ing forty by next month. The
building for a ten-stamp mill is

After Land Frauds

The United States grand jury at
Portland, last Monday, returned
An Indictment against Asa B.
Thompson, receiver of the land Of
fee at La Grande, Oregon. The
charges Thompson with
soliciting money to influence an
official decision for the approval of
homestead applications which had
been held up for insufficiency Of
proof. There are three counts in
the indictment. One of the wit
nesses is Charles Cunningham, a
well known eastern Oregon stock
man, whom it is alleged Thompson
approached.
The interior department has had
agents in this state for months past
investigating the alleged land
frauds and the Indictment of
Thompson is the first result of the
investigation. Rumors of gigantic
frauds in the public lands of Or
egon, Washington, Idaho and Cal
ifornia have been in circulation for
the past year and it is said the
fraudulent entries all told, amount
to over 100000 acres. 1t is
understood other indictments will
| follow.

DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Judge J. F. AilShie'S Residence
Reduced to Ashes,

At eight o'clock last night Judge
}. +. Ailshie's residence with all
it's contents was totally destroyed
by fire. Judge Ailshie was in
Lewiston attending session of
the Supreme court and Mrs.
Ailshie mad left about an hour be-
fore the fire for DIR. Sheaffer' 8
where she had gone to attend
the Sheaffer- Pantall wedding. A
young lady who is stopping with
Mrs. Ailshie was just returning
home when she discovered the fire
but before the hose carts could ar
rive it had gained such headway
that it was impossible to save
anything. The residence was
one of the best in town and the
loss will be heavy one. There
was $1,000 insurance on the build
ing and contents. The origin Of
the fire is not known as no one
was at home when it started and
the whole interior was ablaze when
it was discovered. A strong wind
was blowing but fortunately there
was no other buildings sufficiently
near to be in any great danger
The fire department was called
out again at three O'Clock this
morning to put out blaze that
started in pile Of wood near the
house and had been overlooked
at the first call.

ODD FELLOWS RETURN.
Royalty Entertained During the
Whole Week.

The large delegation OF Odd Fell
lows and Rebekahs who attended
the grand lodge ut Coeur d. Alene
have returned and if they ever had
better time or were more royalty
entertained none OF them remem-
ber it. From the time they ar
rived in Occur d. Alene until they
left, the citizens and members OF
the order did everything possible
to make their stay pleasant. A
steamboat excursion was one OF the
principal features in which over
400 Odd Fellows and Rebekahs
spent the day on the beautiful lake
and were treated to . magnificent
banquet. During their stay in
Spokane they were also entertained
by members of the order and big
banquet provided. The entire trip
was most delightful one and al
are loud in their praises of the hos
pitality of their entertainers.

MAIL EVERY DAY.
Crangeville at Last Gets Better
Service.

Commencing last Sunday the
Northern Pacific inaugurated the
long talked OF daily train service
on the Clearwater line and the peo-
pie of Camas Prairie will hereafter
get their mail seven times a week
instead OF six as heretofore. There
will also be slight change in the
time of arrival and departure of
trains at Sites, the Spokane train
leaving at 4.5O in the morning and
arriving at 800 in the evening
In the change provisions have been
made by the post Office department
for. p daily mail to Sites but took
no action as to the stage service to
Grangevelle. The stage company
however have kindly agreed to
carry the mail every day and a Pc
tition has been sent to the depart
ment asking that this be made Off
cial and also asking that mail be
forwarded to Grangeville immedi-
ately upon it's arrival at Sites in
stead Of being detained over night
as at present.
For city Of it's size Grangeville
has never had satisfactory mail SER
vice and it is doubtful if there is
another town of 25OO inhabitants
in the United States where mail is
only received six times o week and
when the mail is brought to within
20 miles of it's destination and then
detained for IL hours before being
sent on. To be sure, CARRYING
mail at night is anything but a
pleasant task, but it is done in
other places and was done here
when it came overland from Lew.
iston. With the rapid develop.
ment of the country and increase
in business the best possible mail
service is none to good, and if the
matter is rightly presented to the
department we will get it.
