Hoar Monument Completed.

WORCESTER, Mass, Dec. 2S.-Tne
for the grave of the late
Senator Hoar in Concord has been
completed. The design is simple an
cnaste and was made of ne-graineL
New Hampshire granite from plan:
drawn by S. E. Earle in accordant
with the expressed wishes of the late
senator. The inscriptions are in bronze
letters set flush with the surface. On
the north is this inscription written
by Senator Hoar himself.
Il have no faith in fatalism, in des-
tiny, in blind force. 1 believe in God,
the living God, believe in the Ameri-
can people, brave and free people
who do not bow the neck or bend the
knee to any other and who desire nc
other to bow the neck or bend the
knee to them. believe that a repub-
lie is greater than an empire. I be-
lieve, finally, that the world is grow
ing better; that today is better than
yesterday and that omorrow will be
better than today"

Irv{n4 and ThInness.

Sir Henry Irving was the first actor
to make slenderness acceptable or tol-
cradle on the English stage. He was
very thin in his earlier middle age. and
theater goers of that day wondered
whether they could endure to see long
figure and legs, both unpadded- Until
then fairness had been obligatory. It Is
difficult to realize now the full conven-
ton of chest and shoulders and calves.
Comparatively lately man Of stage
experience was urgent with company
of English amateurs that all the thin
women and all the lean men should be
made plump. Nothing" he said, 'is
SO impossible on the stage as thinness."
Irving changed all this because his
genius was welded to uncompromising
thinneSS.

N. p. WILL ENTER COMPETITION
WITH HARTMAN ON THE
OCEAN ROUTE.
Have Line From Portland to San
Francisco-Be Ready When North
Bank Is Finished.

AS soon as the north bank railroad
is completed the Northern Pacific
will have two of the finest steamers
in the world put in service between
Portland and San Francisco, according
to a report that was given out today,
says the Portland Telegram. Plans for
the steamers are said to have been
drawn and the contracts will be let in
time to construct and have them ready
north bank railroad.
The steamers will be first class, and
their equipment will be the equal
Of any vessels in the Atlantic trade.
They are to be built to maintain a
speed of % knots an hour, and will
make the trip between Portland and
San Francisco in SO hours or less.
While speed is to be the main thing for
which they will be built, passenger. and
freight accommodations will be made
on a scale to handle the growing coast
trade.
The staterooms and bertns will be
furnished with the most up-to-date
fittings. Each stateroom will have a
bath and will be amply large to per-
NIT of the comfort of passengers.
The freight business which the
Northern Pacific would probably
look to for their main supply would
be the carrying of wheat. They could
easily secure enough of the grain to
make more than expenses, and the re-
naming freight charges and passenger
fares would be profit. Tons of wheat
are stacked up in the grain districts
Of Oregon and Washington because of
lack Of transportation and warehouse
facilities.
The question as to where the steam
ers are to be built is uppermost in
the minds Of the steamship men. How
ever, that has been kept a secret. Some
think that they will be constructed in
the east and sent around the Horn.
Others think that they may be built
in San Francisco.

MEMORY OF TURTLES.

Lay Their Eggs Almost In the Same
Place Year After Year.
During the summer months from
May to August the big sea turtles lay
their eggs on the beach. They come
possibly hundreds Of miles, and If I'M
disturbed will land within a few yards
Of the same place year after year.
They crawl up the beach in the night
and make their nest in the sand just
above high water mark. I have watch
ed them from behind q sandhill but a
few feet away.
They dig the hole with their hind
fippers, and after covering 1t over,
first filling it with eggs, they will go
few feet and make another place, al
ways thought as a blind, for one looks
just like the other. They lay each
month, usually during the high tides Of
that month, beginning in May and
ending in August, from 80 to 1876 eggs.
During the summer I found and
brought into camp 2,755 eggs. put
some in the sand near our camp, and
in twenty-seven days the top eggs
Matched, the rest in three days more
The little turtles would dig out, raise
their little heads and sniff the air a
moment, then start for the river, 100
yards away. It was always mys-
terry to me how a turtle could find the
same place on the shore when short
distance out at sea it all looks alike

CHINESE PHILOSOPHY.

Some Of the Clever Epi8rams Of the
FlOvery Kingdom.
Their proverbial philosophy shows
that the ChineA are very thoughtful.
Here are a few specimens: The best
and strongest man in the world finds
that he cannot escape the two words
No continuance Happiness con-
sists In a medium station" when
you are sitting quietly and alone, think
Of your faults; when conversing with
others, do not talk Of the faults Of
others" Correct yourself on the same
principle that you correct others, and
excuse others on the same principle
that you excuse yourself" "He who
requires much from himself and little
from others will keep himself from be-
ing the object Of resentment" HE
who pursues stag regards not hares."
"a gem cannot be polished without
friction or a man perfected without ad-
versity." 1.-THE gods cannot help q
man who loses opportunities"
The Chinese call harmless blusterer
"a paper tiger" and compare a man
overestimating himself to rat falling
into a scale and weighing itself. Over
doing a thing is hunchback making q
bow.
You have only to watch their story
and fortune tellers In the streets to see
that the Chinese are natural orators.
You can see that by their gestures, even
IL you do not understand what they
say. They use very apt Illustrations

The fight from the isthmus of Pana-

panic, although tnsuiar bureau officials
see no reason for serious alarm and say
they are relieved by reports furnished
by Colonel Gorgas, the acting governor
OF the canal zone. It Is admitted that
the fever has gained a foothold and
preparations are being made to conduct
