mansion in New York city, one Of the
finest in the metropolis. It was built
by Henry Willard and helped to break

bought by Reid at fraction Of it's val

near White Plains, n. Y, with the YER

We Usually Find Our Level.

Do not hypnotic yourself with the
idea that you are being kept down. Do
not talk such nonsense Nobody of
any sense would believe it. People will
only laugh at you. Only one thing is
keeping you down, and that is your
self. There is probably some trouble
somewhere with you. Of course, there
are employers who are unjust to their
help: there are instances in which en-
ployes are kept back when they should
be advanced; but, as a rule, this is only
temporary, and they usually find their
level somewhere.-Success Magazine.

Get Out of Prison by Marrying.

In some parts Of Siam girls who
reach a certain age without marrying
are placed in privileged class under
the special care of the king, who binds
himself to find a husband for them all.
His method is simplicity itself. A pris-
oner in any one of the Siamese jails
may gain his pardon and release by
marrying one of the ineligible class.
Whether he is already married or not
is of no great consequence, for in Siam
a man is not restricted to one wife; but
still many prisoners prefer Jail.

RAPID GROWTH OF THE NAVY.
American the Most Rapidly Augment.
ed Naval Center.

ed Naval Center.
The American navy has became so
great numerically that the old Ameri-
can way of listing warships, that is, &C.
cording to their size, has had to be
abandoned. The officers of the navy
have been compelled to ape the British
in style of listing, which disregards
size, and write down the names in
alphabetical order
The outlook is that the fiscal year
1866 will see more ships of great
fighting power added to the American
list than any like period in the history
Of the world.
The tonnage of armOred ships OF the
first rate has risen from 1858 to 1884,
544. During that period such well
known vessels as the battleship Texas,
the cruisers Minneapolis and Columbia,
once the fastest warships in the world;
the Olympia and Chicago, the latter a
! member of the first white squadron,
have dropped down among the second
an third raters. The monitor Puritan
has also been dropped down among the
uOuuCSCIIpIS.
The only branch Of the navy that has
not shown a great increase in a period
Of four years is that of tugs. There
were forty tugs, then, and the list still
shows that number, although two of
the old ones have disappeared, but new
ones have taken their places
Instead of 10 torpedo vessels there
are IS second-rate ships. There are II
4S, as against 70, and under con-
struction 80, as against CO. The
ships now under construction comprise
Is first-rate battleships and frst-rate
armored cruisers, as against 10 battle
ships then and only armored cruisers.
The big total Of 60 was made up
/ largely of torpedo boats which have
been completed and are now in service
Eight Of the 10 battleships then under
construction have been finished Of the
| 10 battleships under construction now,
II have been authorized since the in
coming of President Roosevelt.

periods was chief executive of Utah

patrolled the streets Of the Mormon
capital. That was many years ago and
much of the bitterness of those days
has passed away.
Caleb West figured prominently in

Recommended to Bring

pondents and representatives that in the

! next year after the conclave at Los

to secure steamer to be placed en-
tirely at the disposal of the fez
wearers.
The committee recognizes the fact
that the through liners may not be in
position to give the Shriners accom-
modations both ways which would be
satisfactory to them, and to this end
it is proposed to bring them here and
send them back again in a special
steamer As there is almost a year to
accomplish this it is quite possible that
a steamer load can be booked. The
committee is also advising and asking
its Coast correspondents to endeaver to
secure a 800 round trip rate.
The committee is now sending lists
of names of those who write here for
booklets and information concerning
the islands, to the headquarters of the
railroads on the mainland. For In
stance, all inquirers from the state of
Iowa are grouped and the names for
warded to railroads crossing that state.
The railroad officials are now asking
that additional lists of from twelve to
twenty copies be sent them 80 that
they may place the same in the hands
of their agents. who are requested from

physicians could examine them, in the

that was desired. Evidently, from the
sequel, Consul Saito acted upon this

! AS it comes from the japanese wit
nesses to the affair, it is said that on
Saturday, August 5th, Douse ordered
his Japanese helper to get some kero-
sene oil. Instead, the man brought a
small quantity of gasoline. Douse be-
came enraged, it is said. and grabbed
the Japanese, shook him, struck him
with his fist, poured the gasoline over
him, and then set fire to it.
The Japanese was taken to the Puu-
meme Hospital, where he died.
IHe JdpdHeSe assert tHdt ne uieu from
his injuries received at the hands of
Douse. At the inquest, however, DR..
Refs testified that the man could not
have died from these injuries, and that
death was probably occasioned by heart
or kidney disease. The coroners jury
found the left side of the mans face
and both arms badly burned, upon their
examination of the body, nevertheless
they brought in a verdict assigning
disease of the heart or kidneys as the
cause of death. The matter will now
be thoroughly sifted.
