How May sutton Felt.

Miss May Sutton, the tennis cham
pion, was talking one day in Boston
about an early defeat.
II had been so sure of winning, "
she said, land that made my disap.
pointment all the greater when I
failed"
II was as disappointed" she said,
'as huckster who used to live in Los
Angeles.
This huckster, coming out of a
patrons house one day, saw a little
boy feeding apples to his horse. Pleased
to see the animal getting an excellent
meal at no cost to himself, the man
patted the boy on the head and said !:
"That's right; always be good to
animals. And where did you buy those
pretty apples?"

will win. Bryan may very likely win
back Missouri, and so make the South
solid again, but what Northern state
can he carry? Possibly Colorado and
Montana, though this is not likely,
but we cannot think of another North
ern state that he will have a ~ghost
of chance" to carry, no matter
whom the Republicans nominate.
Roosevelt is out of it, and we must
take him at his word, and the candf
date may be either Taft, Root, Fair
banks, Cannon or Dolliver-probably
one of these five-and while some of
them would receive more votes than
others-Doliver, for instance, than
Fairbanks, and Taft than Root-any
one of them, or any other Republican
candidate, would carry almost every
Northern state and be elected.
The Republican party has been
making an exceptionally good record
lately, and the people know it. 1t
has some disreputable old barnacles
in congress, like Plat and Depew,
but they do little harm.
The tariff ought to be revised some
what, but as long as the people are
prosperous they do not care much
about that, and it would not be wise
to turn tariff revision over to the Dem
ocrats, who could never agree on any
thing good.
The country will go Republican in
1908, as it did in 1896, 1900 and 1904,
and while Bryan will run somewhat
better than he did before, there is no
ground for hope-or fear
of his election two years hence. He
will have to wait six years hence,
and probably a good deal longer.

and resided in a magnificent home, en-
tertainlng largely and with a lavish
ness such as only great wealth per-
mits. While on visit to England Miss
Letter met Lord George Nathaniel Cur
zon, since made Baron Kedleston, and
his lordship followed her to Washing
ton. The wedding took place in April,
1895, one Of the guests being Mrs. Cleve-
land, Of whom the bride was a close
personal friend.
The beautiful American girl was wei
coined to the most exclusive inner cir
cles Of English society and at once set
herself the task Of mastering British
politics In order to be an aid to her
able and ambitious husband. In 1898
Lord Curzon was made viceroy Of In
dia, retaining the Office until August
10 Of last year. His success and popu-
larity as viceroy was largely attributed
to the good judgment, graciousness and
womanly worth of his American wife
Her court at Bombay, Calcutta, and
Simla was among the most magnificent
In the world and the Indian potentates
accepted her social sway as they would
that Of the Empress of the empire. 1t
is no exaggeration to say that no En-
glish-speakIng woman ever equaled her
in the influence she welded in India or
In the affection which the millions of
that continental peninsula showered
upon her.
At one time there was talk that Lord
Curzon would be made governor gen.
eral Of Canada, in which case an Amer
lean girl would have been the lady Of

American Girl Who Was the First

The death recently at her beautiful
home in England Of Lady Curzon, of
Kedleston, brought grief to three ma
tons. England, where she had en-.
deared herself by her charming simple
ity and womanly sweetness, and India,
where for so many years she reigned as
the wife of the viceroy, unite with the
United States in mourning the demise
OF an American girl whose elevation to
British aristocratic and official circles
had not caused her to forget the repub-
lie In which she was born and for
which she retained the deepest affec-
ton.
Lady Curzon's health failed while In
India, but it was supposed that her re-
turn to England would speedily restore
her strength and activity. The ex-
IRENE heat, however, increased the gen
eral debility from which she suffered
and death resulted from heart fail
ure.

BRYAN HAS NO CHANCES.

No doubt Mr.. Bryan will be the
next Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent and a great many people are
counting confidently on his election,
while far larger number think he
has quite a good chance to win. We
admit that Mr.. Bryan is an ADLER,
more ripened, wiser and safer man
than he was in 1896 or 1900. 1t would
be strange if he were not We presume
that he will be supported more gen.
orally, unitedly, by the Democrats of
the country than he was in those
years, but this will not elect him, for
this is a Republican country by a
tremendous majority, and while Mr..
Bryan will run better in 1908 than he
did in 1896 or 1900, the Republicans

HEAT SHRIVELS THE GRAIN.

Reports of Damage to Crops in the
Central West.
Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 81. - Hot
winds the past two days, following a
week of unusual torpidity, the maxi
mum temperature being daily from
80 to 100, has created fear among
grain men that widespread damage to
the late grain and corn has been done.
Today has been a scorcher, although
there are indications tonight of a
let-up.
From Western South Dakota, West
ern Nebraska and the northern central
part of South Dakota and Southern
Minnesota reports today are that late
grains had been ripened so rapidly that
the berries are badly shriveled. The
greatest harm is expected in cornfelds,
which have not in ten years, according
to reports week ago, promised such
abundant yields. Corn is in tender
tassel, with kernel in the most sensi-
tive stage of its life. Where moisture
has been sufficient the damage will be
light, but in the vast territory west and
northwest from here it has been dry for
two or three weeks and when the hot
winds came the vegetation has been
largely robbed of its power of resist
ance. Good authority places the de-
probation in the corn crop as the result

Death Roll at Valparaiso May Reach
Two Thousand.


Valparaiso, Chile, Aug. 81 AT 1862
O'Clock last Thursday evening Valpa-
raiso experienced an earthquake of great
severity, and during that night 80
shocks were felt. Most of the buildings
of the city are either burned or damag-
ed. The loss will be enormous, prob
ably reaching $3.50, 900, 900. Two
thousand persons killed is considered
to be fair estimate of the casualties.
Vena del Mar, three miles from Val
paTaiso and having a population of
over 10000, Quiribu, 225 miles to the
southwark, with a population of 25,
900; Santa Limache, Is miles to the
northwest, with population of 6 800;
Quillota, 20 miles to the northwest,
with a population of 10000, and vii
lagos all around were destroyed. Most
of the damage was due to fire, which
started Immediately after the first
shock.
The whole population is sleeping in
the hills, the parks or the streets. Food
is very scarce. Milk costs two Chilean
dollars, and it is almost impossible to
obtain meat, even at high prices.
The railways are all destroyed.
Rain, which began to fall Immediate
ly sitter the first shock, stopped an hour
afterward. The nights are very cold
and windy; the people sleeping in the
open are suffering greatly.
The captain of a steamship which
arrived from San FranciscO says the sit
uation here is worse than that follow
ing the disaster at San Francisco.

EDITORIAL
OREGON AND HARTMAN.

Still the. council refuses or neglects
to pass that ordinance revoking the
franchise, or permit, granted to the
Central Oregon Railroad Co.. to run
its cars down Fourth street. 1t was
not a grant in perpetuity at all; it
merely authorized and permitted
the company to use the street, men
tioning no period Of time during which
this might be done, and binding flu
ture councils and generations to moth
ing. 1t is absurd to contend that this
permit, granted 3S years ago, when
Portland was a backWoods village, is
binding upon the present city of $780,
900, and the future city of half mil
lion or more people The railroad
people have enjoyed this. privilege
freely now for 80 years, paying moth
ing therefor to the city, and it should
not complain if now the people require
it to get off that thoroughfare, or at
least pay a good round liberal fran
chise to the city for the privilege.
Any other decision by the courts
would not only be manifestly inequi-
table, but would be a travesty of the
commonest principles Of justice.
Surely the people Of Portland and
of Oregon are not so beholden to Mr.
Hartman that they should feel in a
humor to bestow valuable gifts upon
him. What has he ever done for this
city or state that he was not COM
PEELED to do in his own interest? For
many years he played the dog-in-the-
manger act, and would neither do
anything to develop the immense in
terror resources Of Oregon nor per-
NIT any one else to do so. He only be-
came active in this direction after
Mr.. Hill had finally decided on his
North Bank road to Portland, and
this Hartman has tried in every pos
sible way to retard, harass and if pos
sible stop
For years there has been shortage
of freight cars to carry away our lum-
Der and other products. Mills are
stopped for weeks, thousands of men
are thrown out Of employment, grain
cannot be sent to market when the
farmers wish, only when the railroad
gets ready, and there has not been
for many months more than one
third the desired transportation IA
cilities between this city and San
Francisco; but Mr.. Hartman cares
nothing about all this, and does moth
ing to relieve or improve the situation.

HILL but nothing for the benefit of
Portland or Of Oregon, except sending
out some pamphlets occasionally.
We hope Mr.. Hill will extend his
road southwark from Portland and
that Gould will build northward along
the coast and that Hammond will
build across Oregon to Ontario, and
that thus, through the energetic and
public-spirited action of his rivals,
Oregon will be developed and it's
products and population will greatly
increase, in spite Of Mr.. Hartman
and his railroads, which he has used
so long to milk Oregon, but never
to develop it and help make it the
great state that it ought to be.

Birds are often purchased in the bird
market at Lucknow, India In order TO
be set free again. This is done by Hin.
docs as work OF merit and by Mo-
hammedanS after certain rites have
been performed as an atonement, in
imitation Of the Jewish scapegoat. 1t
is essential that a bird used for this
purpose should he strong enough to fly
away; but that does not induce the
cruel dealers TO feed the birds, or to
refrain from dislocating their wings or
breaking their legs. They put down
everything to good or bad luck, and
leave the customer {" choose a strong
bird. If he can lind one. and TO 90 away
If he cannot. The merit obtained by
setting Il bird free is not attributed to
Deity, but 1t Is supposed to come in a
large measure from the bird itself or
from its attendant spirit, and hence
birds of good or bad omen, and es-
pecially kites and crows, are in much
demand and are regularly caught to be
sold for this purpose.
