A London paper has traced the ca
reers Of Ave boys who were lazy about
getting out of bed in the morning. Onl
Of 1.-The bunch was the manager Of Z
large business at the age Of thirty. an
other at twenty-seven was a success
full physician, the third at twenty
three was at the head Of his class in
college. the fourth had passed every
examination in a medical school al
twenty and the fifth was head boy In
school at fifteen years Of age. Perhaps
these lads would have beaten those
records had they been earlier rsers.
Anyway it goes to show that lay-abeds
are not hopeless. Many a boy with
stuff in him is slow about waking up
to the earnestness Of life and the i'm.
portance of hard work: but, all the
same, he arrives in the end.

The only other salary drawn by a

NAMED TOO MANY COLONIES.
Mississippi's Governor Appointed
Five Must Return Pay.

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. IA big stir
has been cerated among the members
OF the governors military staff over a
ruling that some Of them must return
to the paymaster general the pay
given them for the time spent in camp
al Biloxi last summer.
the governor has a larger staff than
that provided for by the military laws
or the state. which provide for only
thirteen members. The governor
made appointments from time to time
preceding the Biloxi encampment until
he formed staff Of eighteen members
and all of them we're paid for the
time spent in camp at Biloxi accord
ing to their rank.
Although very few of the staff off,
GERS had ever before been attired in
military regalia, they were given pay
according to the insignia on their
shoulder straps. and Uncle Sam is
now asking them to pay back about
$4,000 on the ground that Paymaster
General Walter Weaver had authority
to pay only thirteen staff officers.
Just who will be affected by the rul-
ing has not yet been determined, but
the matter will doubtless be regulated
according to the precedence Of ap-
pointment. At any rate, Uncle Sam
wants his money back, and it must be
forthcoming.
According to Major Dowdy, the
United States regular army officers
stationed with the Mississippi national
guard. it will be impossible to hold
an encampment during the coming
summer unless the commissioned Of
ticers forego the pleasure Of drawing
pay, as not enough money is in sight
to defray the expenses of an encamp-
ment and Adjutant General Fridge
has made a report to this effect to the
war department.

cAeap r.reels Post In Europa.

~ O40oR xD0kO01B GOoB IN E<uTOP0s
1t is apparent from the postmaster
generals annual report that the post
Office department. is seriously consider
ing a parcels post system for this coun-
try such as effete Europe has for many
years enjoyed. Mr.. Wynne's recon-
me0dation that rural free delivery car
riers be authorized to deliver along
their routes packages Of merchandise
Of not more than ave pounds in weight
at q cost Of 3 cents pound is not much
Of concession. but it is a step in the
right direction
In the United States under the exist
ing postal laws no package weighing
over four pounds may be sent through
the mails, and the charge is 16 cents a
pound. In Germany the postoffice will
carry an eleven pound package any dis
lance up to forty-six miles for 6 cents
and to any place in the empire for IA
cents. In Berlin alone during the ten
days preceding Christmas $4,000 pack
ages day were delivered The reve-
nue. from the German percels post
amounts to nearly $15.OOO,OOO. For 10
cents the British postofice will trans
port three pound parcel from any
house in the United Kingdom to any
other house within the same limits
Furthermore. the competition of the
postoffice departments in Germany and
Great Britain results in much lower
railroad and express company tariff
for parcels than obtains in the United
States.
The Great Eastern railway of Eng
land carries within 100 miles of Lon
don a package under twenty pounds in
weight for 8 cents. with 2 cents more
for each additional pound up to sixty,
the charge for sixty pound package
being shilling.

HocH As HOLMES ALLY.


CHICAGO, Feb. belief that .Jo-
haan Hoch, the man of many wives.
may prove to be the elusive and mys-
terious Edward Hatch. accomplish OF
H. H. Holmes. the notorious woman
murderer. whose crimes created gen.
eral excitement in 1895, has led the
police to an investigation along that
line.
At the time Holmes made his con-
fessions in prison at Philadelphia be-
fore his execution, Hatch was gen.
orally regarded as a myth, but there
was a man named Hatch in mis-
swihdles and who aided him in making
away with women and children.
Because of the similarity of Hoch's
operations with the methods of H. H
Holmes, the cleverness with which
Hoch apparently disposed of many OF
his wives and other singular circum-
stances, the police are working to es-
tablish the fact that there was an Ed
ward Hatch-sometimes said to have
been spelled Hotch-and that he is
johann Hoch, the man now being
hunted.
That Hoch used the name Hatch, or
Hotch, as one of his aliases at the
time of the Holmes outrage, is claimed
by detectives, and this may lead to
search in Toronto and Montreal
where Holmes declared in one of his
confessions that Hatch killed the Piet-
Eel children of Philadelphia.
Five white powders, supposed to
BE- the kind given to his wives by
Johann Hoch, have been found in ar
old writing desk taken from tn,
house at 643O Union street, formerly
| occupied by Hoch. They are now be-
ing analysed.
William Nusser has told the police
of another alleged wife of Hoch's
Nusser says Malta Hercfeldt. nov
living in Pasadena, CAL, married Hocl
in 1895. Nusser baked the wedding
cake. Miss Hercefeldt was living with
her sister. Mrs. Mary Burmeister. O.

woman. 1t is charged, and also got &

Let tho Girls BE Gtrls.

Let tho Girls BE Girls.
The question so often discussed In
addresses and papers devoted to the
training Of the young. What shall we
do with our girlsYo can be met in all
seriousness with the question. why
not let them be girlsT' The clever wo-
man poet. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, whose
pen is active in the cause Of social re
form. recently took issue with the prop
osition Of the New York school authori-
ties to train girls with boys and like
boys. It u proposed to educate girls
OF twelve to fourteen years Of age in
classes with boys under men teachers
and man principal To this Mrs. VIII
cox objects in her editorial corner Of
the American. She says: There Is 10
time in the life Of woman, from the
cradle to old age, when she needs ths
careful guidance, by precept and exam
pie. Of the best of her sex as during tho
years specified. That is to woman
hood like the awakening Of spring to
the earth. A frost in the young May
orchard spoils the summer fruit. A
wrong influence in the early years be-
tween childhood and young girlhood
spoils the woman" Mrs. Wilcox adds
that young girls could but be forced
into precocious tendencies If placed in
continual association with the opposite
sex during that important stage of
their development.
The subject is open to wide differ
ences of opinion, but it would seem
that if it is not good for boys to grow
up like girls, fact universally conced-
ed outside of the circle of Little Lord
Fauntleroy cult, neither is it good for
girls to grow up like boys. The tend
ency of school authorities, however,
seems to be to expect them to do the
work of boys at school and to imbibe
like spirit of restlessness and ambi-
ton. On a higher plane of progress
speaker addressing convention Of
teachers in Chicago recently advised
young women not to marry until they
could support a husband. This 10
frankly accepting mans sphere az the
destiny for woman.
The argument IL not new, for it IL
identical with that Of the promoters Of
higher education for woman when they
declare that woman should be trained
to take care Of herself In every emer-
gency, ~ spinsterhood, widowhood and
the head Of fatherless family. 1t can
be set against this argument that
American women have come or pretty
we'll in these crises heretofore under
the old fashioned system Of training for
woman's natural sphere. Every COM
munity has its capable. managing, sue
cessful widowed mothers who we're
reared primarily for, the domestic cir-
Gle. In the hour Of need they had the
strength to meet the occasion strength
born Of what once would have been
counted weakness, their affection and
devotion.
The future for girls cannot be antic-
ipated and safeguarded IKE that Of
boys. Love u Of mans life a thing
apart; IDS woman's whole existence"
A boy will marry and come to him
self BY hustling; 4 girl maFries and
comes to herself BY fidelity. devotion
and suffering. Out Of one or all Of
these virtues win develop strength for
any and every ordeal. The more girl
like or feminine the girl, the more
womanly will be the woman.

It would be ungrateful to say that
the crops Of 1904 were ''too much OF
GOOD thing" At the same time the
blessing is a great inconvenience In
some quarters. The trouble OF harvest
ing a phenomenal yield is followed by
that Of moving it to market. The rail-
ways are said to be better equipped
with cars than ever before, and yet
they cannot handle the business.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS.

The prospects for Eureka and White
Pine counties is very bright anu the Sill
yer State expects to see many thousand
of new people in Eureka and Ely before
June 1st. Real estate is changing hands
and movement is on in every direction.
The old Jackson House in Eureka
changed hands the other day and will
soon take its place a sthe leading hotel
in one of the liveliest towns in the S.atc
1t is predicted by those in touch with
the development of Ely that 1t will be
town of 10000 souls before next fall.
If it is it will be another case of history
repeating itself. In the early '70's White
Pine had more people than any other
county in the State. and from the present
outlook it will again.
