1.-The Proud Prince"

"The Proud Prince in which E.
H. Sothern will be seen at the Ia
coma theater Thursday evening, has
proved the most successful play OF
his entire career. He brings en- tour
the entire New York production ana
company. Mr.. Sothern's presenta-
ton of the play is even more preten-
tious than any he has ever given TO
the stage. The Proud Prince" was
written by Justin Huntly Mccarthy
whose IF l Were King" afforded Mr..
Sothern a notable vehicle. 1t has
been said of the piece that it is an
embodiment of the essential teacn-
ings of Christianity It's religious as
well as theatrical appeal has been UNI
questioned. 1t is generally conced-
ed that in the play Mccarthy pre-
sents the churchly parable of King
Robert of Sicily with dignity AMI

SEATTLE, June 29.-One OF the
heaviest gold cOnsignments ever re-

treasure fields of the north since
they were discovered in August,
1896, came on the steamer Hum
boldt, Captain r. q. Baughmam,
which arrived yesterday from South

brought S1,400,0O0.
Klondike contributed the largest
shipment, about $1,000,000. The

sent out 100000, and 100000, it
is estimated, came from the Ameri-

CHEAP MATERIAL
IN CEMENT WALKS

Contractors engaged in laying ce-
ment walks have used an inferior
grade OF material in certain sections
of the city, with the result that the
walks are now beginning to crack
and crumble away. The charge was
made at the meeting of the streets
and alleys committee of the council
yesterday. It was stated that the
sand which was used contains large
percentage of mud, thus causing a
very poor sidewalk
Complaints have also been made
by the taxpayers, who state that the
city officials never inspect the walks,
and consequently the specifications
are not complied with by the con-
tractors.
At this point the commissioner of
public works showed the committee
the wisdom of having a sidewalk in
spector, whose sole duty would be TO
look after the sidewalks of the city.

ago. was done TO conceal facts con-
corning the death OF a young Olym-

the placing OF the formal charge Of
murder against Lum Joe, the China
man who has been under arrest since
the night of the mysterious shooting
of Don Yin, who, before he died,
named Lum Joe as his probable as

The theory OF the prosecution is
said TO be that this young woman,

known, came to her death in Lum
Joe's shack
Miss Cullen's body was found in

Intensity of thought and action may
be good or bad according to the spirit in
which it is used. If man is so intense
that his devotion to his work makes him
cross with his children and curt with
his friends, his efficiency in the work
itself is blunted, says the Sunday School
Times. A man can be intense and at
the same time mindful of the rights Of
those about him. 1t is not enough to
gain single aim in ones work. Said a
prominent business man of great inter
ests, whose aggressive energy was
known far and wide: Il had rather
have mans respect without his business
than his business without his respect"
Men of strong personality and dominant
will can have business, and friendly fell
lowship, and gentleness in the hCme, if
they care to.

HE is SENTENCED.
Senator Burton, of Kansas, Gets
Six Months in Prison.
ALSO A FINE OF $4,000.
Pending the Decision of an Appeal
the senator Is Released
OH 5000
Bail.

st. Louis, April 7.-United States
Senator i. Il. Burton, of Kansas,
was yesterday sentenced to six
months Imprisonment in Jail and a
fine of $1,000 for using his influence
before the postotfice department in
behalf of the RiaIto Grain and Sc
curities Co., of st. Louis, and for hav-
ing received payment from the COM
pany for his service. Senator Bur
tons attorney, Judge Krum, immedi-
ately filed bill of exceptions in the
case and offered a bond for $4,000,
which was accepted. The ease now
will be appealed to the United States
district court of appeals, the high
est tribunal in the matter.
The bill of exceptions which was
filed yesterday is Il voluminous docu-
ment, comprising more than 500
pages of typewriter matter 1t is Il
complete transcript of the proceed
ings of the trial, and will be used by
the United States court of appeals in
reviewing the case. The bill of err
ror, which contains the grounds for
the appeal, sets forth in detail all adj
verse rulings by Judge Elmer Il.
Adams, before whom the case was
tried in the United States district
court
One Of the principal points form
ing the basis of the appeal of the
ease is that Judge Adams admitted
as evidence several checks received
by Senator Burton from the Rialto
Grain and Securities Co. while he was
i'm Washington. The defense con-
I,I -, I,, -
had been committed when Senator
Burton accepted and cashed the
checks, it was committed in Wash
gngton and that the st. Louis court
consequently did not have iurisdic-
lion. Judge Adams sustained the ar
gumentS of the district attorney,
who held that the bank in Washing
ION at which Senator Burton cashed
The checks, acted simply as his
agent and that, in any event. the
question of jurisdiction in that in
stance was a matter for the jury to
decide.
Another point upon which Senator
Burton'S attorneys laid stress in the
DILL of error was the introduction or
testimony and documentary evidence
which, it is alleged, tended to pre- iu-
lice the minds of the jurors against
the defendant, while it had no direct
bearing upon the merits of the
,harge against Senator Burton. \
specific instance was the overruling
Of objections by the defense to the
district attorney reading several tel
Pgrams which passed between Sena-
tor Burton and w. ID. Mahaney. for
mer vice president of the Rialto

An English View of Us.

An American young man does not
as a rule look forward to marriage nor
prepare for il by saving any consider
able portion of his ante-nuptial in
come, says the London Telegraph.
When he marries it is usually on short
desperately in love with some one and
cannot find it in his heart to wait up-
iii cold caution declares the venture
advisable. Even when an engagement
lis a long one he usually squanders SO
much on gifts and entertainments for
his fiance and there is only a very
moderate amount to begin housekeep-
ing on. Thus before his marriage the
young American of the middle-class
begins to give evidence Of what is to
be his chief national characteristic as
q husband-his unfailing, unselfsh and
almost improyident generosity. The
middle-class husband in America rare
~ interferes with the affairs of the
household. He hardly knows the cost Of
staple articles of food. AS a rule he
does not make his wife a regular az
lowance either for household or per-
sonal expenses, but gives her as much
as he can spare, freely, but with a lack
of system that is not conducive 10 the
best outlay of their income. The
young American husband Is also very
indulgent TO his wife's fondness for
fine clothes. He would far rather have
an e&trayagant wife than a dowdy
one, and although he grumbles occa-
sionally at a millinery bill, in reality
he glories in the resperdenC appear
ance of his wife in hes fine feathers.
The American husband is rare who
does not concede his wife's right to ex-
pend a much larger sum with her
dressmaker than he does with his
tailor. Indeed he often leaves his
tailor altogether and cheerfulIy re-
pairs to the ready-made clothing house
in order that his wife may have mora
money for eXtravagant fnery.

JAPS CROSSED THE YALU

Chicago, April S.-A special to the
Daily News from Toxic says:
Reliable reports were received
here Thursday from Seoul to the eff
feet that part OF the japanese fight
ing line has crossed the Galu and es-
tabIished itself in strong positions
there at several important points.
Toxic, April S.--A dispatch from
Seoul, Korea, says that the japanese
supply steamers are entering th"
estuary of the Yalu river and are
landing their Gargoes at various
points on the Korean shore. 1t is
presumed here that the movement
of these supply steamers is covered
by japanese guuboats. If this is
true, the Russian forts erected upon
the Chinese side of the Yalu river are
evidently not effective.
According to reliable Korean re-
ports the American mines at Unsan
and the English mines at Gwendolen
are safely guarded by dctachments
of Japanese troops.
st. Petersburg, April S.-The ad-
miralty has received information that
a japanese squadron has been cruis-
ing off Port Arthur since Wednes-
daV.
