The Other One.

A story is told of a police mag
istrate in Cincinnati who, having an
extraordinary amount Of business
one morning, was disposing of his
cases at the rate Of some two or
three a minute, with great exactness
and dignity, being, as is usual In
police courts, Judge, jury and lawyer
all in one.
To one rather refractory witness
his Honor said, "I am to understand
that you readily recognize this hand
kerchief as the one taken from
you?"
"Yes, Your Honor"
How do you know It Is yoursH"
peremptorily demanded his Honor.

clared the magistrate, oraoularly, as
he drew a similar handkerchief
from his own pocket, that there are
others like it."

western Europe the first makers Of

that we mostly omit the grits and
drink an infusion instead of de-
Coction. 1t was not so with tea.
No Chinaman was imported with the
first pound of tea to teach us how
to make and drink 1t. The conse-
quence has been that we have never
drunk tea in the Chinese way--that
is, as a simple infusion.
At first, there seems to have been
great doubt as to how to deal with
the new herb. II is even said that 1t
was sometimes boiled, with salt and
butter. and served up as sort of
spinach. The old phrase, "a dish of
tea" seems to bear out this legend.
Finally II came to be settled that the
most wholesome and pleasant way to
treat the tea leaf was to make 1t into
kind OF sweet soup, with sugar and
milk or cream. | have personal
knowledge OF no country In Europe
but one where tea is used as in
China-Portugal, which got Its
knowledge of tea making from a
province Of China. with which, at
that time, no other nation of Europe
was In contact.
II was while travelling on horse
back with a guide, in the wilder
parts of Portugal, away from the
shops and inns, where we had per-
force to make experiments in the
most economical use of the ounces
of tea and coffee that we could af-
ford to carry with us, that we hit
upon a discovery. Having no milk,
We drank our tea, as most Portu-
guese drink theirs, as simple infu-
sion, steaming hot, and sweetened
with sugar.

lieve in the travels of the Abbe Hue,
that when the Chinese desire to be
thrifty In the use of the finer and
more expensive teas they grind the
leaf to powder and use less for the
Infusion. We found that tea could
be ground In a coffee mill as easily
as coffee; that tea made with the
powder Is as good as or better than
when made with the whole leaf, and
that the power, as 1t naturally
would, goes further than the tea

OLD HEROES IN THE ABBEY.
Irving the Sixth Actor to Receive the
Honor of Burial There.


The service in that storied place
was so glorious an honor for that
king of the stage-so complete and
satisfactory an ending of hi.h-
minded. unselhsh career! Not even
at coronation, with splendors of
color, had the Abbey seemed so
grand a temple as on that bright
morning with the mlsts of sunlight
streaming through the south trans
ept windows and toning up the aus
tere simplicity OF the gray arches.
Sir Henry Irving was great stage
manager who had gone beyond
GarrIck in devising decorative set
tings for masterpieces of the drama,
but never had he contrived anything
approaching in impressiveness and
grandeur the scenic effect of this
funeral service in the Abbey.
Irving was the sixth actor to re-
celve the honor of burial in the Abb
hey Itself. Mrs. Oldneld, Mrs. Brace
girdle's rival in comedy, instead OF
being shut out of the sanctuary. as
! am afraid ! stated carclessly IN n
previous letter, was buried there
with unwonted pomp I'm the south
aisle OF the nave. In addition to
Garrick and Mrs. Oldneld, three ac-
tors of minor Importance were in
TERED there. one was Barton
Booth, a Westminster boy, who had
played the part of the ghost in
Hamlet" and had achieved success
as Cato. Mrs. Hannah Pritchard
was buried there eleven years before
Garricks death, and John Hender-
son, tragedian and comedian. six
years after the great pageant when
DIR. johnson tearfully left his pa
vey' In the Poets Corner A small
group of actors had already been bu-
ried In the cloistcrs. Garrick's rival,
Barry, was inferred in the north
walk Of the cloisters, and his wife,
Annie Crawford, an actress of pow
er in tragic parts, was subsequently
laid to rest in the same grave. Sam
uel Foote had been buried in the
west walk two years Before Gar
rick's death. Near Barry's grave
was the resting place of Mrs. Cibber.
Colley Cibber's daughter-in-law,
who had sung contralto parts In
Handel's oratorios and had also
enacted Ophelia with weird fascina-
ton. With Betterton, Bess Saun-
derson and Mrs. Braceglrde in the
east walk, the cloisters may be said
to be haunted with the memories of
actors. Nearly all these actors were
buried by torchlight, and most OF
them quietly and without pomp. AS
precedent survives, albeit in altered
form, in Westminster, candles were
burned all night while Irving's ashes
were in st. Faiths Chapel, and were
flaring before the altar during the
Abbey service. The nobler tradi-
ton OF Garrick's funeral was also
fully honored. Painters, men of let
ters and all the worthless of the day
were in the Abbey when the friend
of DR.. Johnson and of Sir Joshua
Reynolds was buried. So 1t was
with Irving when a grave was found

can put into effect some of his ideas
in this respect.
While the mill will not be To-
Gated in Boise the offices will be
maintained here and this place will
be the main distributing point. Mr..
Thatcher asked last night what the
prospects were for an electric rail-
way to Payette. He showed deep
interest in the matter and said that
it was not among the impossible
things that the mill would be To-
Gated in Boise. But as the COM
pany desires to commence operat-
ions at once they cannot depend on
promises of the road.
If the people would take hold of
the electric railroad proposition
from here to the Payette river and
see that it was in operation within
the next twelve months, it is pos
sible that the company would To-
cate its big plant somewhere on the
Boise river adjacent to the city.

The Payette Lumber & Manu-
featuring CO. has decided to com
mence operations the coming sum
mer. We publish an article from
the Capital News elsewhere in our
columns which gives particulars.
From this article it appears that
1000 men will be employed, conf
mencing the coming summer, in
getting out logs. This will be good
for these valleys and will help in
their settlement and development.
We hope nothing happens to pre-
vent the company carrying out
their intentions.

Something should be done to-
ward correcting our state maps.
There is two Salmon rivers, either
two or three Little Salmon rivers.
three Lake creeks, and several 9TH
er streams duplicated in name.
Then distances are wrong in sever
al instances, many streams being
much farther west than they are
shown on the state maps. All this
Is very misleading and more than
misleading to many who take the
state maps for their guide in travel
ing through the mountains.

A bill has been introduced in
the legislature by Senator Smith
asking for an appropriation to build
a wagon road over the Luck survey
from Warren to Big Creek. 1t has
been frequently asserted that this
is the best route into the Thunder
Mountain country, being the east
est to keep open in the winter time
besides being good summer route.
The road was open to Warren,
sixty miles from Roosevelt, all last
winter and is open this winter.

PAYETTE LUMBER co.
VIII Erect Large Mill during The
Coming Summer--About 1000
Men Will be Employed. ~
[Capital News, Jan. 17th.l

of the Payette Lumber and Manu-
featuring company held in the
offices of the company, 343 Soma
block yesterday forenoon, it was
finally decided to erect a mill the
coming season. The matter of sell
Getting a site for it's location was
left to Henry furnish, F. H. That
cher and E. M. Hoover. The three
gentlemen will leave tomorrow to
make trip along the Payette
river when they will decide at what
point the mill is to be located. 1t
is probable that it will be either
near Payette or Emmett
At the meeting yesterday it was
fully decided as to the plans for
the mill which is to be one of the
finest and largest in the northwest.
1t will be much larger than that of
the Barber company, having a cap
acity of from 100000 to 100000
600 feet per year and will require
small army of men to operate it.
w. A. Wilkinson, who has charge
OF the construction of the Barber
mill, has been engaged to draw the
plans, and will have general super
vision of the work of constructing
the mill and the various buildings
for working up the refuse lumber.
The mill will be equipped with two
double cutting band saws, which as
stated above will have a capacity
of from 100000 to 100000
feet per year. In addition to the
saw mill the directors decided to
put in box factory, sash and door
factory, planning mill, lath mill,
shingle mill, and other plants for
the purpose of working up every
particle of the material.
The mills will all be erected
during the coming summer and be
ready for operation as soon as logs
can be got out during next winter.
AS soon as the gentlemen above
mentioned have defnately settled
on location the plans will be
drawn for the dam and the work of
construction commenced. Until
the location has been selected moth
ing definate can be stated.
About 1000 men will be emplov-
ed commencing next summer get
ting out logs, and fully as MANY
more employed in operating the
saw mill and its various accessor-
les. The company will erect resi-
dences for its employees and should
it be decided to erect the mill at
some point where a city is not now
established, it will soon have a citv
of it's own.
Mr.. Thatcher, one of the direct
ors, mas some very decided views
as TO municipal government and it
is not unlikely that he may infiu-
ence ms associates to locate the
mill at some point where non,

Another hsu dO|d Saver.

News has reached us from Portland
to the effect that new apparatus for
fine gold from sand will
shortly be tried on some of the many
bars and shadows along the Snake
river in Idaho, when Homer L. Orr
of Portland will make initial expert
ments with a gold saving machine he
has invented. Miners will probably
find this venture of unusual interest
because oil is one of the salient feat
ures of the proposed separating pro-
cess.
Orr's invention comprises sluice
launder, grizzly and tank. Water
concentration, much after the ordin-
ary fashion, is used in the sluice,
which may be varied by table, ac-
cordIng to the fineness of the sand.
The sluice discharges into the launder,
where the finer sand go through per-
forations to the inside of the cylin-
der, whence it is conveyed to the
tank. Either in the cylinder or i'm
mediately after the arrival in the
tank, oil is interningled. This oil
