DR.. Bowen Will Not Be Consul.

Guayaquil is acquiring bad reputation
as consular post. First came the pathetic
death Of the Artist Mast: then Mr.. Sawter
went to the city and fled because Of the
yellow fever epidemic. leaving a vacancy
and within few months has occurred the
third vacancy, which remains to be filled,
for DR.. VIM. Shaw Bowen will not get the
place, though he was nominated and con-
firmed by the Senate as consul. 1t Is said
that an old naval court-martial. record has
been revived to his detriment. causing the
WITHDRAW wal of his hackers. the Rhode Is

of the State Department to issue his COM

CARE OF THE FORESTS
THE PRESIDENT SPEAKS OF HIS
INTEREST IN THE MATTER.
Prime Object Of the Preservation of
by Study Of the Subject.

A distinguished company Of scientists. as
represented by the Society Of American
Foresters, gathered at the home OF Mr..
Clifford Pinchot, chief OF the division OF
forestry Of the Department Of Agriculture.
last night and listened to an address by
President Roosevelt. The President has
made a careful study Of forestry and is
well posted on all matters relating to the
forests of this country and the methods
that should be pursued for their preserva-
ton. He Is an intimate personal friend of
Mr.. Pinchot. and has lent his assistance to
the latter whenever it was possible to as
sist him in his work 1t was at Mr.. Pin
chot's earnest solicitation that the Presi-
dent attended the meeting last night and
addressed the members. The President
talked for more than half an hour.
Just before the arrival Of President Roose-
welt. Mr.. Pinchot, who Is president OF the
society, introduced Mr.. E. T. Allen to de-
liver the regular weekly address. Mr.. Al
len confined his talk to the national forest
reserves and the policy of the government
in preserving them. The President arrived
while Mr.. Allen was speaking. He was
greeted enthusiastically by those present,
and in few moments was introduced to
speak. He said. in part:
Il believe there is no body Of men who
have 1t In their power to accomplish more
good than those engaged in scientific in
vestiga lions, and this Is especially true Of
those engaged in practical and scientific
forestry. You cannot afford to forget for
one moment what is the object Of the ma
tional forest policy Primarily that object
Is not to preserve the forests because they
are beautiful, nor the homes of wild Great
ures, but because it is essential to the max
ing Of prosperous homes, and part of the
traditional policy of home-making in our
country. The whole effort of the policy
must be toward this end. The success Of
the home-making depends in the long run
upon the wisdom with which the nation
cares for it's forests.
THE wide study of forestry will make the
forests of use to the ranger, the miner, the
man who lives in the neighborhood and the
man who lives one hundred miles away,
down the course Of some mountain stream.
The study of forestry has a vital relation
to the mining and all other Industries in
the United tates
you must keep your high ideals and seek
to realize them in a practical way by show
ing to the lumberman that scientific forestry
Is practicable. You creating a new
profession, a profession of as much impor
lance as that of law, medicine or any other,
and a profession capable Of the highest de-
velopment."
At the conclusion of his remarks the
President greeted several Of the members
Of the society personally and shortly after
ward departed.

Thorir answered with great haste and

Naught but what I expect can be easily
remedied. But it appears that when Gill
attempted to follow his daughter to Green
land last fall he suffered a shipwreck and
the loss of much valuable property, barely
escaping with his life. From this he drew
the rash conclusion that his daughter had
become misfortune to him, as some fore

that they might be on hand for this occa-
sion, They showed and jostled each other
like school boys as they crowded down to
meet the first boat load.
The ten sailors who stepped ashore were
a prosperous looking band. Their arms
were full of queer pets: their pouches stuff
fed with samples Of wood and samples of
wheat, and with nuts and with raisins. All
were sleek and fat with years good liv-
ing, and all jubilant with happiness and
sense Of their own Importance. Even while
their arms were clasping their sweethearts'
necks they began to hint at their brave
adventures and to boast Of the grain and
the timber and the WINE The homekeep-
ers heard just enough to set their curiosity
leapinE and dancing with eageruess for
more. And each succeeding boat load of
burly heroes worked their enthusiasm to a
higher pitch.
Then gradually the song ran into a
minor key, as Thorir's crew landed upon
the sand. Haggard and worn and almost
too weak to walk, they chung to the brawny
arms of their rescuers; and the horrors of
tiers on Gudrid's fair white face The re-
joicing and laughter sank into wondering
questions and pitiful murmuring.

Helga stayed to press his hand to her
cheek, then, before them all, without
thought of shame she went the way that
ended in her lovers arms
They stood side by side in the gilded PROV,
and he kissed her eyes twice for every tear
they had shed, and he kissed her mouth
thrice three times, and not a man in the
whole world rose up to prevent him. Side
by side they stood In the flying bow, a d.

member of what later became known
as the Bonanza" firm. This firm was
composed of James C. Fair, James C.
Flood, William S. O'Brien, and John w.
Mackay, the latter owning two-fifths of
the concern.
In the year following the awful Chi
cage fire of 1871, the commercial world
awoke one morning to the fact that
the Bonanza" mines existed A
ledge of enormously rich rock had been
discovered in the Sierra Nevadas at
Virginia City The Bonanza Kings"
cleared up one hundred and fifty mill
lion dollars in gold and silver from this
ledge.
Mackay then considered he had made
a success of mining. He was possessed
of an enormous fortune. He common

famous Riviera convinced him that
America was behind the times. He had
occasion to send message home. There
were cables across to the United States
from Europe out Lney were dlA OWuSu

of social and business intelligence was
in the hands of English monopolists.
He met James Gordon Bennett who was
opposed to Geographic mdnopolies and
as a result of many earnest conferences
between the two it was decided that a

by both parties he declined. though
earnestly urged to accept by Roscoe
COnkling and others with whom he was

especially insistent, advising his accept

The laying of the Mackay line brought
on a cable war. The monopolists ask
ed that rate OF fifty cents a word be
established. Mackay refused to accept
this. He thought forty cents a fair
rate. The older companies then an
nounced that their rate would be twelve
cents a word. Mackay thought this
ridiculous and declined TO do any bust
ness at less than twenty-five cents a
word and after a long contest the other
companies eventually adopted this rate
also. Then TO assure the permanent
success of his cable Mackay formed the
Postal Telegraph Company which was

! World, what a wonder is thisi
! GrandIy and simply sublime,
All the ocean abyss,
Leaped in a second of time,
These words flashed from a trans
parency, spanning Broadway, New York
city, on the celebration of the laying Of
the third Atlantic cable in 1856. The
two previous attempts had failed. and
even when messages were rushed
through the ''sixty-six'' cable, the pub
lie were not fully prepared to believe it,
The story of the laying of those cables
is the biography of Cyrus W. Field, the
master mind which fused mems
thoughts into action, and held the
financiers down to their work, until the
continents were united. Men had sug-
gested a cable, had specialized over the
possibility of laying it, but it was Field
who organized the movements which
resulted finally in the leaping of the
abyss by thought in a second Of time.
The first movements towards connect
ing the continents by wire arose from
the failure of company to erect a sys-

brought Mr.. Fields attention to it. and
he at once replied. why not connect
Ireland with Newfoundland? ," He en-
listed the venerable philanthropist
Peter Cooper, in the project, and
charter was obtained for this purpose
from the Legislature Of Newfoundland.
At this time the longest submarine ca
bic was the one connecting Holland and
England. and It lay in water only one
hundred fathoms deep. Mr.. Field i'm

In December, 1856, the Atlantic Tele-
graph Company was organized, and
81 $50, 900 was raised Mr.. Field sub
scribed $500 900, which he distributed
among his American friends. Lady
Byron and the novelist Thackeray were
subscribers The British government
assigned the frigate Agamemnon, 80
guns, to the laying of the cable, and
the American government assigned the
frigate Niagara for the same purpose.
When $50 miles Of cable had been laid,
in seventeen hundred fathoms of water,
on Aug. 10. 1857, the cable parted, and
the ships returned. Robert Stevenson,
the great civil engineer, had predicted
failure.
It had been arranged that the first
message over the cable should be con-
