ADVICE THAT DOES NOT ADVISE,

IT HE Landmarks League publicly files complaint
The league was organized to acquire and preserve
the ancient landmarks of California romanticalIv
and practically connected with its history 1t had the
sympathy of the Native Sons Daughters and of the
Pioneers and successful in raising money TO bu
old missions and forts and and preserve them
When it got sufficient momentum to be in the public
eye Mr.. Hearst appeared in the midst of it and took
charge OF the movement of advertising him
self and his business He made himself the custodian of
the money collected. and fast as properties were
bought took the deeds in his name The league and
other organizations interested appointed an able Advis
ory Committee to advise Mr. Hearst. Now it appears
that of the most interesting of the old landmarks
of the earliest mission buildings needs roof to pre-
its distinctions and money needed for the other
be devoted to the purpose for which was collected
although advised by the Advisory Committee that its
is vitally necessary. Hence the public complaint
that the preservation of the ancient landmarks is at
standsl and that property acquired is going to ruin
for need of money that hand for use but can't be
used because Mr.. Hearst objects.
The various organizations concerned seem to have
made mistake. Their Advisory Committee is all right
but they omitted to provide that Mr. Hearst should take
its advice. The committee IS full of advice and emits
like sparks from the fur of cat It's advice seems to
press the party who to be advised. We can sup-
ges solution to the situation except that the Advis
ory Committee try to duplicate the collections and
keep the money in its custody improve and pro-
tect the landmarks which has decided Mr. Hearst

The High1Uay.


All day long on the highway
The Kings fleet couriers ride;
You may hear the tread of their horses
sped
Over the country side.
They ride for life and they ride for
death
And they override who tarryeth.
With show of color and flush of pride
They stir the dust on the highway
Let them ride on the highway wide,
Love walks in little paths aside.
All day long on the highway
Is the tramp of an army's feet:
You may see them go in marshaled
row
With the tale of their arms complete;
They march for war and they march
for peace,
For the lust of gold and fame's in
For victories sadder than defeat
They raise the dust on the highway.
All the armies Of earth defied.
Love dwells in little paths aside.
All day long on the highway
Rushes an eager band,
With straining eyes for worthless
prize
That slips from the grasp like sand.
And men leave blood where their feet
have stood
And bow them down unto brass and
Idols fashioned by their own hand
Blind in the dust OF the highway.
Power and gold and fame denied,
Love laughs glad in the paths aside.

cotts Magazine.

Advised MiHais.

An artist in America has been tell
ing a story of Millais which is not
new, but which will bear repetition:
''Sir John Millais once showed me
the original Of Chill October and at
the same time told me a story about
1t. He said that as he sat painting
one gray afternoon among the reeds
and rushes of the Tay a voice from
behind a hedge asked: Man, did We
ever try photography No, never
said Sir John, and he continued to
paint slowly. It's a hantle quicker
said the voice. Yes, suppose So
the painter agreed. Then the voice
said bitingly: An it's mair like the
place."
No one could enjoy a remark of
this kind more than Sir John Millais.
and nothing pleased him better than
to recall incidents which told against
himself.-Westminster Gazette.

The Var tn RnSSid.

The editor Of the st. Petersburg
Viedomosu recently created a national
sensation by charging the ancient cap
ital Of Russia, Moscow, with wholesale
treason. The bankers and merchants
there, he said, were not only Indifferent
to the war, but were sordid, selfish,
disloyal and shameless enough to make
heavy investments in Japanese bonds.
This information came to the editor
from good patriots who didn't want
their names used, but were considered
by him to be trustworthy. The Mos
cow press, which has a Viedomosti of
its own. resented these imputations,
the latter with particular energy.
Proofs Of the st. Petersburg allegation
were demanded. If these were not
forthcoming the Government ought to
act and put a stigma on such disloyal
practices, If it could not punish them.
So far no proof of the allegation has
been submitted, though it is generally
thought to have some foundation in
truth. The Journal de st. Petersburg,
The official organ, takes this view of
the case, fact which is looked on as
more startling than the original asser-
tion. The controversy is still going on,
with no end of epithets on both sides
and no visible sign of cessation.

Parker'S Personality.

The Chief Judge of the Court of
Appeals Of New York is a man of i'm
pressive stature and handsome ap-
pearance. He is six feet tall, weighs
19G pounds and has the proportions
of an athlete. He was 90 years old on
May Il. He has a large head and the
face of a country-bred gentleman
strong, fresh colored and unwrinkled.
There is a singular suggestion Of
power, courage and good nature in
his personality. The eyes are large,
brown and luminous-sincere and di-
rect. The nose is aquiline, the jaws
large and curved, and the chin round
and massive. The teeth are big and
white, the lower lip heavy and pro-
truding and the thick mustache
coarse and tawny. The Judge has a
wide, high forehead. The top head
indicates penetration, energy, beneVo-
lence, reverence and firmness. The
hair is reddish brown. 1t is a head
devoid of eccentricity in its lines
full, even, symmetrical. There is a
simple unpretending dignity about the
man that fits his massive physique
and easy, upright carriage. He is
sober, sincere, unseIfish, decent. Men
in every walk of life turn to him in
stinctively with confidence. There is
neither exaggeratiOn nor self-cOn-
sclOusness in his speech or manner. He
does not boast. He has hearty scorn
for heroics. Firm in spirit, even tenn
pered, charitable in his judgments OF
others, loyal in friendship, loving work
for its own sake, seeing in law only
the means of justice and order, he
unites the virilities and the sobrie ties
in his strong, modest character. He
has, too, a native sense of humor that
viii never permit him to become POM
pous.
Judge Parker may be said to be a
man free from eccentricities, unless in
tellectual integrity and a sound moral
imagination are TO be considered
abnormal in an age of weak demo-
goguery. He listens well, patiently
searches for facts, makes up his mind
slowly and aims at general and per-
manent rather than particular or tenn
porary results.-FrOm Alton B. Par
ker: A Character Sketch" by James
Creelman. in the American Monthly
Review of Reviews for August.

The two side shafts are driven by the
turbines, which consume about 1850
horsepower. and make about 1900 rev.
olutiOns per minute, so that a speed
of twenty-five knots per hour is OBJ
tanned. The arrangement is considered
to represent the most efficient method
OF using the steam turbine on a tor
pedo boat designed for high speed, but
it is thought to be an open question
whether the superiority of the turbins
over the usual machinery in such ves-
sells has been demonstrated. Further
tests Of the arrangement are expected
on the trial of a new French torpedo
boat, with engines somewhat similar.
and, by comparison with those where
turbines alone, and reciprocating en-
gines, have been used, should show
just what kind Of engines are most
useful for this important class OF war
vessei.-Harper' Weekly.

Born Soldiers.

Colonel Grandprey, once French
military attaehe in Peking, gives some
very interesting information regard
Ing the Chinese army in the Revue de
Paris. He says that few countries
have such excellent material as China
for an army, where the whole popu-
latiOn OF 42O.OOO.0OO consists, so to
speak, Of one people, displaying the
same racial qualities. The Chinese is
long lived and tenacious Of life; he
thrives in every climate, in spite OF
the heat or cold. He is extremely
thrifty and therefore easily supported.
He has nerves of steel; he can sleep
in any position and in any place, and
can do with a minimum OF sleep. He
seldom needs doctor and bears pain
with the greatest stoicism. The Chi
nese is very teachable and what he
has once been taught he never forEets.

TALK or THE TOWN
AND E0Rfe OF RHE
TIMEC ~
McDo1celPS Surrender.

It Is not in United States history
that General Mcdowell surrendered
to foe. yet it is so. and this, too, to
an Emperor. The incident was one
which the general himself loved to tell
when confronted with the story, espe-
cially at banquet where a promiscu-
Gus gathering of civilians and military
men might be congregated.
The surrender was to Norton /, EN-
peror of all the United States and Pro-
tector of Mexico. To the old time
citizens Emperor Norton was one of
the best known men that ever lived in
San Francisco. He was a man of good
education, refined and polite, and for
that matter as courteous as any mon
arch might be. In his earlier career
he was a prominent merchant on
Front street. Without any known
reason he suddenly became demented
and imagined himself to be the EN-
peror of these United States and pro-
tector of the republic of Mexico. La
boring under this hobby he levied a
tax on the downtown merchants.
ranging all the way from 25 cents to
whatever they saw fit to give, but he
never boarded up any wealth and only
applied when the exigency compelled
him to collect for the bare mainte-
nnce of life.
Taking an advantage of his vaga-
ries, the merchants conspired to de-
cline to contribute to him on his next
visit. This was in the nature of a
joke to see what he would do when
pinched for money, although every
barroom in the city gave him free
lunches. Yet his spirit was above
cumming" and money he needed and
must have.
The idea struck the Emperor that if
his royalty was cut off he would de-
clare war, which he did in this way:
At the time that General McDow-
ell was in command of the division OF
California the army headquarters was
on Kearny street. where Emperor
Norton hied himself one morning and,
stationing himself at the entrance, he
patiently waited the arrival Of the
general. When the genial command
er was about to enter he received
sharp command to halt.
Norton had drawn his old crescent
shaped saber and ordered a surrender
there and then. General Mcdowell
complied and on asking the terms he
was informed OF the rebellious char
acter of the Emperor's subjects and
notified that the strong arm of the
military must be used to enforce obe-
dience. The Emperor was invited up
stairs and with a s5 piece a truce was
declared.
But that was not the end. For, as
the courteous monarch was about to
depart he spied a pair of gold epau-
lets which the general had discarded.
These he demanded and as a matter
of course they were handed to him
by order of Mcdowell. Displacing
the old faded ones that he had on,
Norton adorned himself with the bet
ter ones, which he wore with pride
until the day of his death. This VIC
tory he proclaimed to his subjects
with considerable pride, after which
he duly received his royalty and had
no more trouble with the government
of Uncle Sam.

SINKING NEUTRAL SHIPS.

XX THEATON, who is accepted authority on
NV international law. says that if prize be a
neutral ship circumstances will justify the
captor in destroying her before condemnation by prize
court, and if destroyed full compensation be given
her Moreover he lays down the rule that in
ability to put prize the captured neutral shin
does justify sinking her. since such inability is the
beigerens misfortune and in way affects the rights
of the neutral
Hail. another modern and very high authority goes so
far to say that for any neutral prize can
be taken port for adjudication by prize court
she must be released. Lord Stowel who wrote into in
ternational law the important of its principles
touching the rights of neutrals. said when shin is
neutral the of destruction be justified to the
neutral by the importance of an act

under such circumstances only by full restitution in

There is no principle laid down in international law

ton happened, as I believe, over three
hours previously-what am 1 to say?
Then it would seem that it must have
been some non-bodily but surviving
part of the life or spirit of the dog
which, so soon as my deep sleep gave
il an opportunity, reproduced those
things in my mind, as they had al

of the manner of its end or to bid me
farewell.
1t does seem to suggest" adds Mr..
Haggard in conclusion, that there is
more intimate ghostly connection be-
tween all members of the animal world,
including man, than has hitherto been
believed. at any rate by Western peo-
pies, that they may be, in short. all of
them different manifestations of some
central informing life, though inhabit-
! ing the universe in such various forms" "
w. T. Stead, the editor of the Review
] Of Reviews, who is an authority on
ghosts and psychic phenomena, says
that he has never heard of an instance
in which an animal, living or dead, has
/ been able to communicate telepathic-
J ally with a human being, and puts
/ forth this theory TO account for MI.
Haggard's experience:
1T seems more probable" he says,
that while Mr.. Haggard himself was
asleep his subconsciousness-h other
self, which never sleeps-found itself
where the dog lay dying and was able
to impress its physical consciousness
with a sense of suffocation or drowning
ia connection with it,
Mrs. Campbell Praed, whose story,
"Nyria,' has created such a stir in the
psychical world, accepts Mr.. Haggard's s
narrative and deductions without any
reservation. She says that even as a
child when wandering among the gum
trees in the Australian bush she was a
firm believer in an after-life for ami
mails, and all she has learned and OBJ
served since has only strengthened that
view.
1t seems to me-" she says, that a
love like that of a dOg-a love that is
capable of sacrifice-must have its re-
ward in the achievement of an after
life, possibly in reincarnation-who
knows? 1 feel that all life is intercom-
municative-that even the trees and
flowers have a life that is, after ALL
never destroyed. and has its part like
ours, in the scheme of the Creator"

LeSe MajeSte.

At children's party at Buckingham
Palace the other day a little incident
occurred which furnished Queen Alex
andra, who is very fond OF children,
with considerable amusement.
One Of the small people present, q
S-year-old son Of Lady Lurgan's, has
a passion for soldiers and was show
ing his appreciation for the scarlet
coated military bandsmen who were
playing in the garden by picking dali
sizes and presenting them to the musi-
clans. Presently the Queen CHANGED to
pass by and graciOusly asked the small
boy to give her a daisy.
The yOungster looked her Majesty
over and compared her quiet gown
with the gay uniforms he admired,
then firmly replied:
No. Grass for yOu," and handed
the Queen tiny handful of grass.
The Queen went off laughing at the
little boy, who was honest enough TO
show that he preferred bandsmen in
red coats to royalty.-New York Times.

Profitable.

Robert Barr, who has achieved a
certain distinction in story writing, as
Charlie Barr, another Scotchman, and
probably a distant cousin, has in sail
ing yachts, goes thus on record: THE
most lavishly paid writer's in the
United States to-day are not the au-
tbors Of stories, but the originators of
advertisements. Anybody can write a
story and mostly everybody does, but
it takes genius to compile an adver-
tjsement."

Now, truly, the United States by its recent foreign
policy has demonstrated to the world with sufficient
conviction that it is not of war; that in the
interests of it is willing go lengths COM

has 1t been that this nation has the place it now

the reason let it be apparent by the contrast offered be-
tween the status held by nation fully protected and
our nation utterly unprotected Let him review the for

and early ninetics
When the efficient feet of the United States
could be numbered the fingers of one hand and we
had smaller standing army than Norway and Sweden,
there occurred the Barrunda incident harbor of
San Jose de Guatemala when the right of asylum under
the American flag violated by company of gringo
soldiers. In 1901 the recipients of an ulti-

into something tangible into navy of power an army

way of leading the way international peace than one
unarmed and to insult from every bristling gov

have been the of Europe. To-day, not because
