RISE OF SIR JOHN QUICK.
The Australian Statesman Who Began
Life as Mine Boy.
From the London Mall.

From the London Mail.
One of the founders of the new order of
things in Australia, who has probably con-
tributed more to the realization Of fedora
ton than any other single politician now
In this country. Is Sir John Quick. LII. D.,
who appropriately represents the famous
goldfields of Bendigo In the house Of rep
resentatives.
The story Of his life reads like a page
torn from Volume OF old romance and
presents a picture of courageous self-help
that Is not. however. uncommon in the now
world Sir John Quick Is a native of Ire
vessa. near st. Ives, Cornwall. where he
was born on April IA, 1852. He is de-
snendant Of an old-established family of
landed proprietors in the great southwest
the goldfields In 1854. where the father died
Of colonial fever two years afterward.
AS boy Sir John worked in the mines
as driver. whipper and a stamp feeder.
and while he earned q living by hard toll
of II or II hours day, no spent every
moment Of his private time reading, study
Ing. learning Latin. Greek and shorthand,
and otherwise qualifying himself for higher
q Junior reporter and rose in the ranks OF
journalism until he secured place on the
stan of the Melbourne Age. In time he
bridged the chasm which lay between tho
mine and the university and passed tri-
umphantly through all the examinations
OF the law and arts courses until he obtain
ed the degree OF doctor Of laws in 1882
In the pre-federal days he represented
the 1oldfelds In the state parliament, az
he does now In the federal legislature. and
he stands high among the strong men who
uphold the empire In these 'clvllizing seas"
He II the author Of several standard works,
the most notable Of which are THE His
tory Of Land Tenure in Victoria and 1.-The
Annotated Constitution OF the Australian
Commonwealth" which II the Bible of the
Australian commonwealth and which was
drawn on lines originally drafted by him.
He Is the president of the royal commission
appointed by the federal government to
solve the tarin difi1culty now confronting
ministers In parliament.

artist declined, and intimate his intention
of sitting up all night where he was, and
shooting any other persons than the land
/ lord. his wife. or their daughter, girl of
about fourteen, on sight, should they enter
the room. The night passed quite undis-
turbed save for the cackling of some fowls
which seemed to be lodged In the next
room. and In the early part of the night
whisperings beneath the window.
When morning came the artist threw
opeE the shutters, and at once noticed that
the thing that had crashed to the floor
when he fired the night before was an old
frameless on the wall. His bullet had sew
cred the string. He took 1t to the window
and examined II carefully. He thought he
recognized the artists work. although It
J was grimed with dirt and smoke. The
wood on which 1t was stretched was in
Jured, and as he stood examining 1t the
woman came in and saw this.
Senor. she exclaimed with well sinu-
lated anger. "see what mischief your shot
has doner
The artist saw his chance. He expressed
himself as being sorry.
'Sorryi" exclaimed the woman thinking
she saw a means of extortion. but sorrow.
seror. does not mend matters. We are poor
people"
The woman's husband came in and added
his tale Of VOC to hers. In the end the
man fixed a sum amounting to four shfi-
lirgs for the damage done to his wall and
the picture. The artist declined. and the
man finally insisted ON his visitor paying
sum amounting to Is shillings and taking
the picture.
AS the artist made his way up the steep
path toward the hill road he heard the inn
keeper and his wife rejoicing over their
good fortune in selling fool of traveller
a dirty picture for IS shiliings- The artist
carefully cut the canvas from It's wooden
stretcher. and also rejoiced. well he
might. for on reaching London he found he
had brought away from the sunny south q
again.

I'm the minds of thousands of English
people who lived during the period
Of the revolutionary war and for sew
II eral years afterward, John Paul
Jones was considered In the light of a
pirate, a merciless buccaneer, who was
utilizing the war between Great Britain and
the American colonies as an opportunity
for carrying on nefarious robbery Of Eng
lish vessels on the high seas. The daring
and unexpected manner In which he pOunc-
ed upon English ships while securing the
British coasts in his good ship Ranger. un-
doubtedly Influenced other nations than the
English to the opinion that the distinguish
ed American commander, whose remains
have just been brought with honors to the
United States Naval Academy at Annapo-
lis for final interment, was something Of
bloodthirsty pirate rather than brave,
capable ana enthusiastic patriot in which
light he now appears.
In the library of the Navy Department
there is a collection OF old prints gathered
during many years from various sources
which depict Jones in the role Of terror
OF the seas ruthlesSly selling vessels at
sea and numbering the hapless crews. Sew
eral of these pictures are supposed to have
been made during the lifetime OF Paul
Jones.
One of the most striking pictures in this
collection is one IN black and white, which
boldly represents Jones in the character
of pirate: In this drawing. which bears
the legend paul Jones. the Pirate" tho
American naval hero is depicted as DASH
| ing black-bearded man wearing uniform
| emDlazoned with the significant skull and
| cross bones. In one hand he holds a cut
| lass dripping blood. and in the other hand
| q smoking pistol For a background the
artist has drawn the deck of a ship where
Jones' men are ruthlessly cutting down
British sailors. This picture evidently is
| a very old print

Letter to L. 3. Rhodes
Wilmington, n. G..

Dear Sir: Porterhouse, SO much;
neck. so much; all the way between.
Just so with paint. Deyoe lead-and-
zine is the porterhouse. Nobody wants
the neck: the between, sonae say, is
good enough for them.
But Devoe costs less, not more, than
between. Lead-and-oil IS between: it
is the old-fashion paint. But zine has
come in. Zine toughens white lead.
Devoe lead-and-Zinc is the paint that
wears twice as long as lead-and-oil.
Mr.. John \. Leitel, Fair Haven, \.
u, writes:
MIR. Charles Hollenbeck, of this
place, painted his house three years
ago with Deyoe lea~d-aHd-zine; his faith
er painted at the same time with lead
and-oil. Today the sons house looks
as we'll as the day it was painted. while
the fathers house has all chalked off
and needs painting very badly. The
father says he will paint with Devoe
next time"

NO MORE LUXURIOUS OFFICES.
The Government Thinks 1t Cannot
Afford Expensive Federal
Buildings.

The criticism following the opening
OF the ne& postoffice in San Fran
cisco, is probably responsible for the
step the Administration has recently
taken. This important change in the
policy OF the government means that
no more public buildings will be
erected TO cost millions of dollars as
formerly
The postoffiee in San Francisco cost
exclusive of the site 81, 800, 600, and
is lavishly built of expensive wood.
marble. bronze and mosaics. Post
offices in the large cities will be eg.
pecially affected by the new regime,
but wherever it is possible TO apply
the principle TO custom houses this
will also be done. The decision has
been reached that postofIices Of exces.
sive cost have of late years been pro-
vided for the big towns, and the aim
will be to cut down the expenditures
along this line.
The argument is that under the
conditions now obtaining in the postal
service there is no legitimate demand
for great central Office buildings
Most of the business is tranacted
through sub stations or by the leasing
of large warehouses near the railroad
depots in which the mails are actually
hnadled. Pneumatic tubes also aid.
A committee charged with the duty
of investigating the advisability of
the extension of the pneumatic tube
system has just returned to Washing
ton after visiting the principal cities
of the country, fand it is probable that
it will declare for liberal appropria-
tions for this service. The members
have not yet visited Baltimore, but
will do so within short time.
