Coroner Mix made statement to the public yesterday in which he gave his reasons for thinking that the evidence so far before him in the Edwards case indicates suicide. He has done his work patiently and thoroughly, and has not kept an agitated public in suspense any longer than he was obliged to-. While his statement is not his final re- port it does, of course, foreshadow what his final opinion will be, unless new and unexpected evidence is forthcom- ing.
 There will, we suppose, be quite a lot more talk about this remarkable case, and then, if nothing new and startling appears, it will go the way of all the earth. The sooner the better. There has been much excitement, much rash giving of rash opinions, and much in- justice. Let us calm right down now, and be glad that the indications are that the murder theories have been wrong, and that there is a chance to learn that it is not safe or kind to be nasty in judgment and harsh in talk.

THE ART DE REAnING

The latest biographer of James Rus sell Lowell calls him the last of oul great readers" It would perhaps be difficult to name offhand any living scholar and writer among us whose range of reading has been as wide and whose critical judgment upon what he has read is as valuable as was that of the many-sided Lowell. But If the great readers" are rare, that is only a reason why the reading habit should be encouraged and perhaps what Is of more importance, should be properly guided, This is what the Danish poet, historian and critic, George Brandes, undertakes to do, and does very we'll, In an article in the International Quar- terly on January.
 Taking up first the question: Why should we read? the writer, while con ceding that i've learn to know men better by observing them in real life than by Investigating them in books, D says that, on the other hand, books have certain advantages which men have not. They set thoughts in mos tion; men seldom do They are silent when not interrogated; men are seldom as discreet" Finally they are seldom as inane as people, One would fre- quently apply to the mass of humanity those words of Goodness If they were books would not read them" We ought to read also, because in science the work and investigation of centu- ries Is presented to us in a clear, con- densed form. Reading can make us keener and more susceptible to what is of value," Furthermore, he is willing to admit that If reading affords no more than innocent entertainment, it is worth while, in the wearisomeness and monotonous existence of daily life. Pure reading for amusement is by no means to be despised-so long as it does amuse."
 As to What should we read?" M. Brandes' first answer is, Newspapers! No one will deny that newspaper read ing has become a necessity to us all. Day after day they teach us all sorts of interesting things and point the way to much more reading" He adds the ssnsIble suggestion that newspaper readers should be able to read their fa- vor1te paper wit some criticism, and that they should not be so satisfied with this kind of reading that they be- come incapable of any other"
 As to books, the writer says that i've ougt to read what is of most value to us." He utters warning against the so-called literary histories of the world and other ambitious compen- diums. No one man Is capable of writing them, and, as they are written, they are far more likely to stupify than

4 RUSSIAN INCIDENT.

Some of the incidents of the Russian situation are full of human interest. Russian correspondents of German newspapers vouch for the truth of the story that the Grand Duchess Eliza beth visited, in his cell, the murderer of her husband, the Grand Duke Ser gius, who was blown to pieces by a bomb in Moscow. The story is now credited to the counsel of the murder- CT, who gives it as he learned it from his client. "One day." said the mur- derer, Koljagew "1 was sitting in my cell when they told me some one wish ed to see me. The door opened, and in walked @ woman all dressed in black. I am his wife she said, almost in audibly. And why do you come to see the murderer of your husband?' She only answered: Did it have to be?' Then began to talk to her; told her all about it with the greatest detail. You must have suffered a great deal,' said the Grand Duchess, Yes, l re- piled, I have suffered much. But what are my sufferings compared to the ter rible tortures of our people,? But why did you not come to me?' she asked; why did you not speak to me of all this?' I answered: Because I had to kill your husband to have even the chance to talk to you Finally, she said: Are you believer?' Yes, I. am a believer; I believe in my deed, and I staked my life on it. She asked me if l had wish, and replied: That my deed will have results On leaving she gave me a small pictureof a saint, and asked me to take it, with the assurance

Then they hit on more willy plan. High corrhls were built during the summer. When winter came they placed wild hay and tempting food in the enclosAre They left down the bars on on@ side. Then Vic and his partners, oiA skis, would locate herd of elk and drive them ahead like cat tie, as the animals were unable to make speed ih the snow. The elk were steered into the traps and bars put up. Then it was only necessary to feed them until sold. They were shipped to all parts of the country, but the best market was found among the rich men of New York; who stocked their pre- serves in the, Adirondacks from the Rocky Mountain ranch. Elk, sold for from eighty-ftve to one hundred dol- lars; mountain sheep, two hundred and fifty dollars; bears, fifty dollars; deer, thirty dollars 4ach, and the purchasers paid the freight and bore the expense of geeting the animals 10 the railroad.
 During thei1 five years of partner ship they captured in all three hun dred and seveh elk, three hundred and eighty deer, twenty mountain goats, twelve bears and a few moose. Last fall they took in three buffao calves. Then Vic sold out and Rock continued the business aone. The calves grew up. Dick thought they had become re- conciled to their life of confinement. One day in an unguarded moment he ventured too near one of the buffaloes. It attacked him and gored him to death. The animals were afterward sold to United States Senator Clark, of Montana, and are now pointed out as one of the attractions at Columbia Gardens in Butte.-Butte Correspon- dence of the Seattle Times.

RANCH FOR sNARING BIG GAME

Where Elk, Buffalo and Deer Were
 Caught for Geological Gardens.
 The Dick Rock ranch at Henry's Lake, in this state, has been sold. The ranch was located by Vic Smith, of Anaeonda, and his partner, Dick Rock, in 1885,
 Smith was in at the death of the race of buffalo on the plains of Montana and Dakota, and at the time became acquainted with Rock, who was proba- bly, the fastest man in the plains with a skinning knife. Rock thought noth- ing of taking off the skin of from fifty to sixty buffalo in one day, with no tackle or facilities whatsoever, save his knife and two swift hands, backed by brawny arms. With the passing of the buffalo and after. the Indian troubles had been settled. the two men found their occupation gone and had to seek new fields.
 Smith made a trip east and in the parks and zoos there saw many ani- mals he was accustomed to see run ming wild. He was astonished to learn of the fabulous sums paid by the col- lectors of game for show purposes and game preserves. Then he dconceive the idea of supplying this market, and with Rock he took up the ranch at Henry's Lake.
 The plan they tried the first winter was to run down the elk in the deep snow, the hunters being unborne by the Norwegian skis. Though a success, 1t was attended with great hardship and labor, not only in capturing the elk and roping them, but also in get ting them back to the ranch after they were once taken.

There are queer performances in this world. Moses Goldsmith, owner of the Strand theater at Seattle, was lured to a hotel room the other day, on the plea of a business appointment, and forced at the point of a revolver to draw a check for $2, ,750, to telephone the bank that the check was good, and to ring up the hotel clerk, call him to the room and give him directions as to sending a messenger to the bank. The robber told Goldsmith that he was desperately in need of money, and that If Gold smith attempted to call for help he would kill him and then commit sui- eide. While the clerk was in the room the revolver was concealed from his view, but was constantly trained on the victim. The thief got the money and escaped.

4 GOOD THING FOR YOUNG MEN.


 Every once in awhile big man who has been so Successful that he is a surprise to himself tells smaller men how to succeed" Often there is wis dom in his directions, even if they wouldn't work in other cases just as they seem to have worked in his case. James J. Hill. the great railroad man, is one of the most solidly successful men in thfs country. He has worked his way from the bottom to the top. There is one thing" he said, that young men feel is burden and hard- ship, and I want to tell them they are wrong. The spur of necessity of which many complain is a rich heritage, and one that most young men miss who fall in the race. The spur of necessity of doing what you have to do and doing it well, because you feel you must do it well or fail, and be written down a failure, is really of more value to a man who has to meet the conditions that present themselves in all varied business affairs than anything else that I know of"
 There is much in this. Young men really ought to be glad of the spur of necessity, even if it sharply hurts them when it is applied. Let them respond to it cheerfully, and then when they are old and rich they can tell what it did for them.
