Much in a Name.
n the Portland Oregonian,

From the Portland Oregon1an.
The great southern branch of the Column
bia ought not to be called Snake river. 1t
is not beautiful name. 1t is a loathsome
name rather, and SO beautiful and so ma
jestic stream is entitled to a better one
In past years the Oregonian has often
spoken of the desirability of giving this
noble stream a name that the northwest
would not be ashamed of every time 1t was
spoken. The river belongs to the old Ore
gon country, now chiefly to Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho-though its main sources
are in Montana and Wyoming, where they
are known in different places by separate
local names.
This river is especially the great main
stream Of Idaho, and in Idaho they don't
like the vile name 1t bears. That they do
not shows state pride and esthetic pro-
gress. So there is a proposition to eliminate
Snake from the river nomenclature of
Idaho, with various suggestions as to what
names should replace it. Surveyor General
Eagleson Of Idaho suggests the old Indian
name Sho-sho-nee. We have hyphenated
the syllables. to indicate their proper d.
vision; and the pronunciation would be
quite analogous to that of Tennessee"
Through all that country, In the early time.
the Indians called themselves "Shoshonee'
with somewhat striking accent on the
last syllable. Latterly the name has been
corrupted by many into Sho-shone-Which
Is an abominati0n.

Revival Spirit Spreading.

From the Christian Intellgencer.
Eminent religious leaders agree in the
opinion that the great religious awakening
in Wales is to affect this country. DR..
Charles E. Jefferson says: mo one sensi-
tive to spiritual atmospheres can fail to
note the increasing signs of the approach
of a great spiritual awakening. Among
them are the wonderful revivals during the
last year in England, in Wales. and the in
dications of a great awakening in Scot
land"
DR.. ]. Wilbur Chapman, who leads the
Presbyterian evangelistic work, says: ''fhe
revival spirit is deepening in our country
with each day. l have not in all my min
istry seen such awakening. The distfn-
gushing feature has been the unparalleled
interest of men in spiritual things"

A Blind Typewriter.

From the indianapolis News.
A blind typewriter operator, George w.
E. Raper, is employed at the Atlas engine
works In learning the use of the ma
chine he had placed on the keys raised
dots, known as the New York count sys-
tenn, that represented letters correspond
ing to those represented by the keys
When he learned the location of the KEYS
the raised dots were dispensed with, and
now he can use almost any typewriter
with universal shift keyboard. He has
been employed in several establishments
as a typewriter operator, not using
graphophone, but taking dctation direct
upon his machine Mr.. Raper is handi-
capped in one manner, and that is in the
correction of his manuscript. But on ac-
count of this handicap his work is su-
perior to that of the ordinary typewriter
operator who can see, as he has learned
tc make exceedingly few typographical
errors,

a few of their near and remote neighbors,
August Belmont being q notable example.
Mr.. Belmont has two country estates-his
legal residence at Hampstead and the fam
lily estate at Babylon. His estates however,
are unusually small in area. only few
acres each. Generally speaking, the ma
jority of the estates vary in extent from a
half hundred to fifteen hundred acres.
Vanderbilt's Country Home.
William X. Vanderbilt, ST.. has one of
the largest estates on the island, and it is
his country residence pure and simple, New
York still being his legal residence. Most
of the large estates are situated in Nassau
county. the middle division of the island
in fact the millionaires may be said to
have monopolized the county-but Mr.. Van

eastward in Suffolk county. and not alone

especially for his convenience. 1t were

fortune which Mr.. Vanderbilt has spent on

"
nearly a century. Chief among these are
the Cuttings and Frederick X. Bourne. But,
if the present influx of millionaires keeps
up, Mr.. Vanderbilt will soon find himself
with scores instead of a mere handful of
millionaire neighbors, for nearly all the
available sites in Nassau county have been
snatched up, and estates are continually
being laid out farther and farther eastward,
in the direction of MOntauk Point.
Exclusive Southampton.
Some thirty miles from the Point is the
exclusive summer rendezvous of million
aires who do not fancy Newport. This is
Southa mpton which, in point of social i'm
portance, ranks second only to Newport.
Naturally, these summer homes are not so
palatial nor their grounds so extensive as
in the case of Nassaus estates, which are
open the year through. Still, the combined
Southampton holdings of these wealthy
men represent an amount of money that
easily reaches up into the millions of dol
lars. Each year brings new members to
the colony.
These are the principal Long Island
strongholds of New York S millionaires,
from which centers, in the light of all that
has happened, it is reasonable to suppose
that they may eventually spread out and
occupy all of the island that their long
purses can secure to them. For the press
is great to get away from New York, and
Long Island is near to Wall street-and her
taxes on personal holdings are ridiculousIy

Gambling Element in a Game.

From the London Truth.
The German courts have decided that TO
play at poker is not to gamble, because 1t
is a game of skill In like manper, the
French courts decided some years ago that
baccarat is not gambling. Skill undoubted-
ly enters into the former, though very
slightly into the latter. A good poker play
er would probably in the long run win
were he always pitted against inferior
players But at any one particular game at
poker luck would very much outweigh skill,
and to say that it is. not gambling game
is absurd.
Probably a good many sharp men and
women make living out of bridge, owing
to it's being possible to play it well or
badly. But this is because. so many insist
on playing it who are not skilled players.
Why however, is it popular? To a certain
extent because it is a game of mixed skill
and chance. but in ninety-nine cases out of
a hundred because of the chance element
in it, in other words, because it furnishes
an opportunity to gamble.

Conviction of a Man and His Wife for
Brutal Killing Almost a

Special Cablegram TO The Evening Star
VIENNA, March 4.-There has just ended
at Prague an extraordinary murder trial,
resulting in sentence of death being passed
on Alois Balesch, a gardener, and his wife,
while their daughter was given seven years
penal servitude as an accessory before and
after the fact. Last April Valesch, at the
instigation of his wife, assassinated their
dodgers, a young couple, in order to obtain
possession of their money. and as the wife
said, live in luxury ever after
The bodies were quietly buried in the
garden of the house, and the infant child
of the murdered couple was abandoned in
a neighboring forest. The next step of the
criminals was to spread the report that
the parents of the child had emigrated TO
America and got rid of the baby by leav-
ing it in the forest

Louisiana's Wealth in Birthstone.
From the Search Light.

From the Search Light.
Louisiana birthstone is now added to
Texas petroleum, Alabama iron, Carolina
cotton goods and southern cotton, rice and
sugar as a commercial article in which
Dixie is price maker and important source
of supply. The sulphur mines of Louisiana
produce a pure birthstone in great guam
tity, which can be sold in competition with
that of Sicily. During September, it is
stated, $4,000 tons were sold, and the mar
ket is ready to take Louisiana sulphur as
fast as 1t can be got out. The first ship
ments were about 10000 tons, which were
sent to New York in July last. The Sicilian
interests were slow to believe that their
monopoly was threatened, but they are
now, It is said, fully convinced.

BRUSSELS, March 4.-Henrietta Nor
mand, pretty and only sixteen years old
was arrested here this week on a serious
charge. She was intrusted some time ago
by her mother, who lives at Verviers with
400, which she was asked to take to the
bank.
Instead of doing so, it is stated. she
rented a splendidly furnished mansion in
the Boulevard Bschofsheim Brussels one
of the most Fashionable parts of the city,
and, assuming another name proceeded TO
advertise herself hgh-class matrimo-
NAL agent.
She is a handsome girl, looking much
older than her years, and her business
methods quickly drew large number of
clients. So successful was She that it is al
legged she obtained in a very short time
n,750 in fees.
Worked a French Marquis.
Among those who called upon her was a
French marquis who travelled from Paris
for the purpose of being introduced to a
suitable partner. There was, however, no
partner available, but it appears that Mile.

negotiations that followed it is stated that

been making inquiries as to the where

where she was living, and made her APP

which ended in the young adventures

Mile Normand had made plans on grand
scale for the future. Among other things
she had signed a promssory note for $50

which is in the Louis XVI style, and in
cludes some beautiful statuary.

Authorities Completely Deceived.

The authorities were completely deceived,
and actually issued a warrant against the
dead parents for deserving the child. The
affair was soon forgotten, and the guilty
couple might never have been brought to
justice but for a serious quarrel, which re-
suited in Valesch's wife and daughter
leaving him to i've elsewhere
The husband determined to take his
venge by drawing the attention of the au-
thorities to the murder. He actually dug
up the remains of the victims and placed
them against the fence of a neghboring
villa, together with piece of paper stating
that crime hac been committed The re-
suit was the arrest of the whole family.

A movement has been inaugurated to
make the immigration stream run uphill. A
number of railroad passenger agents and
immigration agents metlin the rooms of the
Department of Commerce and Labor to try
to make the immigrants go to a section of
the country where hitherto they have been
unwilling to go. 1t occurs to us that the
best way would be to make the conditions
more attractive. The government cannot
tell immigrants where to go. They will
mostly follow their friends who send them

Fit the Seed Fed Early.

All things do not come to him who
waits Luck does not come to the
wheat grower who, because d severe
drought occurs in August or early in
September waits and waits for rain
before fitting the soil for the reception
of seed. Better luck attends the wheat
grower who, despite the drought, no
matter how severe, fits his wheat land
early and keeps a dust mulch two or
three inches in depth upon the surface
The blanket of loose top sod formed
by the frequent cultivation of the soil
protects and holds the moisture be-
meath and saves it for the crop to be
raised. A soil so fined and fitted al
ways has sufficient moisture to proper
ly sprout the grains of wheat or grass
seeds. so that good and even stand
invariably results, even if no rains oc-

longer the period between the thorough

stead of grain, concludes a writer in
