Then, turning to the young men
who had listened intently to his re-
marks, he put the direct question
What part will you play In the
future destiny Of the Old North

He talked directly to the boys and
not at them.
He said he had no intention OF
preaching q sermon, ~ there was
too much preaching In the present
day. He only wanted TO point out

themselves as to the course they
should best follow. He urged that
the best thing for the university
and the trustees would be to let the
boys run the Institution and make
it self governing democracy.
He dwelt upon the old Grover
Cleveland adage that 1t was con-
dition not q theory that confronted

now for them to learn the best

Again turning his intention to-

said: "Young men this institution

fellow with the courage and stick

small things, who will outstrip the

The only way q man can do great
things is by doing little things each

What He Struck.


One day in Washington recently
a group Of politicians were talking,
when "Uncle Joe" Cannon was re-
minded of q story.
''There was a friend Of mine in
Ohio" said he, "who once joyfully
sought an oil expert, declaring that
he had struck this fluid on his land.
He brought q sample in . bottle.
Now, evidently my friend had been
in q great hurry, hastily grabbing
the first bottle at hand, for when
the chemist had duly analysed the
sample submitted he sent the fol-
lowing telegraphic report:
"'Find no trace of oil. You have
struck paregoric.' "--Woman's Home

WILL EXTEND ALASKA CABLE
Government Business Requires Duplex

Government Business Requires Duplex
System and Branch South.
Washington, Aug. 2O.-Commercial
receipts from the Alaska cable and tel
egraph lines amounted to $4,000 in
July, which is $4,000 in excess Of
the amount collected by the Unit, d
States in any previous month. The
ocffiial dispatches sent during the
month would have cost $4,000 had
they been paid for at the commercial
rates. The rapid increase in the de-
mands upon the Alaskan cable and tel
egraph lines will he met by the gov
eminent by the duplexing of the ca
bles.
The cableship Burnside, which is to
install the duplexing apparatus at the
Alaskan end of the cable, will proba-
bly, leave Seattle about September IS.
1t will carry 200 miles of new cable,
which has just been shipped from New
York for the extension of the cable
service south of Ketchikan. This ex.
tension will be effected by tapping the
line from Sitka to juneau at Cape Fan.
shaw. From that point a branch line
will be extended down to Wrangell,
then to Hadley, on Prince Of Wales
island, and then to Ketchikan, which
is only so miles from Port Simpson,
the English tonwn which is to be the
terminus Of the Grand Trunk Pacific
railway.
It is believed that this additional
200 miles of cable will result in great
increase in cable receipts, as the fed.
eral system taps country which ie
rich in mines and fisheries and already
has many large canning factories,
which stand greatly in need of daily
communication with the United States.
In case the cable ship does not encoun.
ter bad weather the line will probably
be completed by November l. Capt.
Henry w. Stamford, Of the signal
corps, will direct the laying Of the
new line.

Buenos Ayres, Aug. 2O.-The Asso.
ciated Press has received authoritative
information confirming the worst re.
ports of the earthquake in Chile.
Valparaiso is partially destroyed.
Most of the damage was done in the
center of the city, extending from the
Plaza del Orden to the Plaza Pratt.
Many lives were lost, but the number
8 not yet known. Hundreds of per
sons were injured.
Santiago also suffered severely, and
there was much loss Of life.
Los Andes, eighteen miles east OF
San Felipe, and having a population
of 5000, was almost totally destroyed.
Other towns on the Chilean side Of
the Andes wholly or partially de.
stroyed are Quillota, with q popula
ton Of 5000; Llay Llay, with popu
lation Of $500; Illapet, with a pop
ulation of 5000; Vallenar, with q

From Santiago to the Andes every
bridge and tunnel on the railway wal
utterly wrecked and the railway lines
torn up. The shock is supposed tt
have been caused by the eruption of 6

CANNON presidential
BOOM IS LAUNCHED

Danville, Ills, Aug. 2O.-The con.
vention Of the Eighteenth Illinois con.
gressional district was called at l
O'Clock yesterday and renominated
Joseph g. Cannon for the eighteenth
consecutive time, being the seven.
tenth nomination by aoclamation.
There was the greatest enthusiasm,
especially over the prospective candi-
dacy of Mr.. Cannon for president.
Mr. Cannon had not intended to
launch boom for president at this
convention, but the pressure of his
supporters was so great as to sweep
away his wishes in the matter.
Mr.. Cannon's supporters in his own
district will likely urge the state con-
vention to make similar endorsement
There seems to be little doubt that
this will be done.
Mr.. Cannon, after the adoption Of
the resolution endorsing him for pres
ident made speech discussing condi-
tions and pointing to the great pros.
perity of the country. As anticipated,
he also discussed at some length the
labor question.
Touching on his endorsement by the
convention for the presidency, Mr..
Cannon, after expressing his apprecia-
ton, said:
II would not exchange your conf.
dence for the qualification of any am
bition might have. 1t is proper for
me to say, however, that we are on
the eve of the campaign for the cleo
ton of national house of representa-
tives which may involve one-third of
the personnel of the United States SEN
ate to say nothing of the campaign in
the respective states.
GAS you are aware the election will
be held in November next. In poll
tics, as we'll as in other matters of
life, it is best not to GROSS stream
until you come to it. The first stream
to cross is in November next, and it
is necessary that we should be success
full in crossing it before we attempt to
get over the river Of 1908.

MAY ABOLISH CONTRACT WORK
Inquiry Promises to Reveal Immense

Washington, Aug. 2O.-Recent fail.

by the governments confscation of
their outfits, may lead to a complete
reorganization of the methods of con-
Quoting reclamation works. The in
terror department is making a thor
ough investigation of the methods of
various contractors. which is said to
promise some remarkable revelations.
Great profits have been made by
some contractors. The apparent i'm
possibility of getting work done by
contract unless an immense profit is
assured, is causing officials to consider
seriously the desirability of quitting
the whole contract system and doing
the work directly, as the Panama canal
