AS TO MARRIAGES.

Governor Warfeld of Maryland is the latest ma
ture man to forget his youth and rise up to tell the
young to be guided by their judgment and not their
instinct and fancy in choosing life partners. Not
until girl is 26, he told the maidens of the Will
mington high school graduating class is she able ia
select husband with intelligent discrimination
And in subsequent interview Governor Warfed
made bold to say:
Young people are impressionable and romantic
and if left to their own free win are apt to rush into
matrimony without properly considering the grave
responsibilities of married life Many cases have
come under my observation where youthful and hasty
marriages have resulted in unhappness There are
many serious questions to be,consdered in deciding
upon this most important STEP Health, heredity,
environment, taste and social tendencies-all should
be carefully weighted If a happy married life is
desired
Good sense, undoubted good sense, comments the
Examiner. There's no disputing it. Yet it inevita-
bly, recalls the story told by Jerome K jerome of
the discreet young man who was not headstrong and
listened with respect to the counsel of his elders
all of whom had, Of course married with delibera-
ton. He saw, did this judicious young man, that
his elders, like Governor Warfed, spoke truly when
they held that marriage was the supreme event in
one life, and therefore should not be taken on i'm
pulse. So he looked about him and fixed on girl
who had every qualification for wifehood-she was
modest, intelligent, pretty sweet, yielding and af-
fectionate He married her, and at the end of a
year admitted to Mr.. jerome that she was all that
any reasonable man could ask or-modest, intelli-
gent, pretty, sweet, yielding and affectonate only
he didn't like her.
Mother Nature is wiser than many Governor War
fields To her. after all is said the great business
OF marriage must be left 1t always has been left
to her. and will continue to be left, no matter what
the Governor Warfelds in their wisdom and pru-
dence may say. Love laughs at governors

MEREDITH ON THE BRITISH ARMY.

In the London Daily Chronicle of a recent issue
George Meredith last Of the great Victorian novel
lsts and now old man waiting for death, emerges
from the long silence Of the sckroom to express him
self with characteristic vgor upon leading questions
OF the day in England and in the broader world
theater. Together with some caustic comments upon
the trend of the church, the drift Of politics and the
present aspect OF literature and journalism the aged
AnEelist has to say concerning the British army and
British loyalty much which must carry barbed
stng to the sefsatisfed military caste in the United
Kingdom.
All our battles are soldiers battles" says Mere
SIth, ~and our army will remain chaos as long
as IT IS controlled by sngularly unintellectual, i'll
educated and unbusinesslike class The Salvation
Army might teach them lesson, or our railway
companies ,"
The fear of death is the real cause of the English
objection to conseription, continues Meredith in
ancIdatmg the broader aspect of what seems to him
the decadence Of the military spirit "Men come to
ne and say their trade would suffer- or they could
net spare two years from their apprenticeship Their
real meaning is they are afraid of being called out
and getting shot at So they pay others to do the

killing and dying for them. As it is 10000 Germans
could march through England from end to end !
That is right from the shoulder 1t tells plain
things in plain way, palmer even than Kphng has
put them in his poems to the glorifcation of Tommy
Atkins. Judging from editorial comment upon
these utterances the cap fits the British head so
snugly that it binds somewhat and gals not little.
With the enormous debt for the years of lighting
necessary to reduce the Beers looming large before
them our friends across the pond believe that they
see thus put boldly into print what they have dared
only to think since Spion Kop and Colenso, Is it
true is not so universal question as How long
has it been trueg"
Being distinctly military nation, Great Britain
tolerates open discussion of the inside operations of
its army very little more gracefully than does Kaiser
William. To the masses there as to the world out
side, it is only the occasional incident given pub
LEFTY that may point the wind. Very fresh in the
minds of all Edwards subjects are the recent in
vestigations into the conduct of the war in South
Africa which disclosed some very ugly revelations
of incompetency in high places and even cowardiee
where cowardice should be least expected There fol-
lowed the drastic measures Of army reorganization,
and the incident was closed to public view.
George Meredith has spoken fearlessly and for the
good of the British Such utterances should strike
home. Even though they come from an old man
and one presumed by reason of his trade to be un
practical they ring of truth.

THE NEW WHITE NAVY.

The August number Of the Pacific monthly ar
excellent Portland periodical, contains an interest
mo article by Waldon Fawcett ON the development
af the United States navy. Mr.. Fawcett takes ms
readers through our bodybuilding stage from the
eyil war to the present date reeting the progress
made by our country in adding to its sea strength
Just at the present time the United States ranks
khird among the naval powers in point Of tonnage
and undeniably first in point of excellence. France
holds second place. and Mr.. Fawcett expresses the
spiniOn that she win continue to do 50, notwith-
standing that we are now building war vessels of
displacement almost as great that combined of the
entire present feet. We have in service IL first
class battleships whereas there are now building
total of 13 first class batteships not to mention the
battleship New Hampshire which was authorized by
ne last congress.
better idea of the upbuilding of our navy can
Be gained from a comparison of the tonnage in
service and building In service we have vessels Of
aggregate tonnage of 531 1885, with total indicated
horsepower of 767,OSs Building are vessels of ag-
gregxte tonnage Of 349 31 and indicated horsepower
smaller ships of navy, whereas the vessels build
ing are principally Of the larger type. Great
Britain's total naval tonnage is 485, ,105, while
France boasts tonnage of 7S1,754 When our new
vessels are all in service our total tonnage will be
,317 Meantime, however, France will probably
build enough ships to maintain her rank
A death-dealing feet of eight armored cruisers will
soon be in commission. These vessels are the Cal
ifornia, Colorado, Maryland, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin The
eight cruisers will be of the same type each of the
length of SOP feet, Of $4,000 to $4,000 horsepower
and capable of speed of more than % miles an hour
They are heavily armored with almost as much pro
lection in this respect as the great battleshps Two
other armored cruisers, the North Carolina and the
Montana and three scout cruisers are also building
This feet of IL vessels would certainly present
formidable front to any enemy and give Of itself an
account in war that would afford us as much joy
as the magnificent performance Of our beloved Ore

and Louisiana now building, which are $50 feet in
length and of $1,000 tons displacement
When Uncle Sam gets his new boats in the water
he will be amply able to cope with any adversary
There is surer safeguard than a great navy, nor
any surer preventative of war; We can get along
very nicely with a small army Of 100000 men, but
we want all the battleshps and cruisers that our
government finds it convenient to build

JAILED FOR ANoTHER's CRIME.
Enelishman Served Seven Years In
Prison Through Mistake.

London. Aug. 1.-THE case ol
Adolph Beck who, after serving sever
years penal servitude for the crime oi
which he was not guilty and being
convicted second time OF frauds OF
which he was innocent. has been re-
leased on bail, is causing much talk In
all parts Of England. II Is expected
that Beck viii soon receive a free par
don.
The trouble came about on account
Of remarkable resemblance between
Beck and a man named Thomas Smith.
In 1877 Smith was sentenced to five
years imprisonment on charge Of OBJ
tanning jewelry and money from girls
whose affections he had won while pos
ing as a lord. Nineteen years later
Beck was taken into custody on a
similar charge, 1t being stated at that
time he and Smith were one and the
same man. although Beck declared that
in the year is77 he had been IN South
America.
Notwithstanding this. specimens OF
his handwriting were put In evidence.
and an expert swore that 1t was iden-
tical with that Of Smith. In addition
to this, two or three young women
testified that Beck was the man who
had robbed and defrauded them. As q
result the jury returned verdict Of
guilty. and Beck was sentenced to
penal servitude for seven years.
When he had completed his sentence
Beck started out diligently TO find the
man whom he so much resembled and
on whose account he had been sent to
prison. He kept up his search for
some time, but met with no success.
Early in the spring he was arrested
on similar charges to those for which
he had previously been unjustly con-
victed. Again he protested his lnno-
cence, but. as on the previous occasion,
women appeared and said that he was
the man who had robbed and deceived
them. The jury found him guilty, as
had been the case In 1896. The Judge |
seemed to have some doubts Of Beck's
guilt, and sentence was deferred.
In the mean time Beck succeeded In |
getting several prominent people in
terested in his case, and they became
that he was the victim of |
circumstances. It so hap
pened that a few days ago Thomas
Smith was arrested, charged with COM
frauds against susceptible |
young women. When he was arraigned |
several Of the young women who had |
taken the stand against Beck were
brought into court and acknowledged
that they had been in error, and that |
Smith was the man who had swindled
them. Later investigations convinced
The detectives that Beck was entirely
innocent, and upon representations
made to the home Office he was re-
eased on nominal bail.
