The legislature of Connecticut
closed busy session of five months
a few weeks ago, and left abundant
evidence of Yankee thrift in the shape
of bills for necessaries of legislative
life. Among these were bills for six
fountain pens, and $3.50 jack knives,
appraised at $1,000. The former were
used in drafting bills and the latter
in whiting measures about which
the members were properly ap-

Although Sergius de Witte, chief
envoy of the czar to the Portsmouth
peace conference, himself is of pie
beam origin, he is connected through
his wife with the Romanoffs, the
reigning family in Russia. Mrs.
Witte is daughter of Mr.. Narish
kline, secretary of the Russian lega-
ton at Brussels, and several matri-
monial alliances have taken place be-
tween the Romanoffs and the Narish-
kines. The most notable of these was
that between Czar Alexis and Nata-

Peter the Great. 1t was from his

during Peters minority, that he i'm

Captain Clark of the Oregon"
who recently retired from the navy, is
one of the most genuine and modest
of men. Rear admiral he is now, but
so long as he lives the lower rank is
the one by which he will be known.
Few of our other heroes of 1898 and
1899 were able to stand the praise or
adulation of the public. Schley,
Dewey, Shafter, Miles, Hobson, Wood,
Funston, have one by one forfeited the
glory, which, rightly or wrongly, was
once theirs, and lost their eminence in
public view. If this has partly been
their fault it has also been that of
the public, which was wholly undis-
eliminating in the bestowal of it's
favor Captain Clark avoided these
pitfalls. He Stunned public banquets

COST o. PATENTING CLAIMS.

The expense of taking out patent to
mining claim cannot be arbitrarily
stated, for the reason that the cost of
several of the important items is not
hxed by law. Generally speaking, $500
should cover all the expense. including
the cost of the land In one full quartz
CAIN of twenty acres and about $3.50 IN
the case of single 20-acre placer ciaim.
The fee of the United States Land Office
is $40, and in the Office of the Surveyor
General there is a charge of $35 for sta
tionery and office work and $40 IL the
claim be placer. An abstract of title
must be furnished, and the cost of this
may vary greatly, from $40 to over $l00,
depending on circumstances The cost
of publication is not fixed, nor are the
attorneys fees, and these may vary
greatly. The United States Land Office
in California has given the following
figures as approximating the cost of pat
enting quartz claim: Payment of the
land twenty acres at IS per acre, 500;
Surveyor General-Deposit, $35: publica-
ton notice, S25; affidavits, etc, IS; dep
