Humble Heroes.

Calling attention to the fidelity Of
the telegraph operators In San Fran.
cisco. where they kept their heads
and stuck to their keys till driven out
by the flames. the New York Sun has
this to say: Fix the eyes Of the
community on n man In oflicial place
and he will scorn his own safety. Give
the obscure man something to do that
calls for greater activity than usual
and he will seldom fail to come up to
what is expected Of him. Exceptional
ly daring deeds done by our firemen
and policemen are often the result OF
the spirit OF the service. though 1t is
possibly less SO in their case than In
that OF the soldier or the sailor who
IS of emulation all compact 1t In
wolves no reflection on the soldier. the
sailor or those who. in other ranks
Of life. practice the military virtues of
discipline and obedience to say that
the man who, in great peril, goes on
doing his ordina:y duty. with no hope
OF applause. honors or individual dis
ltinction, is as heroic as any hero.
That is why we ask you to take off
your hat to the telegraph operators in

Rebuilding Of San Francisco.

New York.-The Herald says: It
was determined yesterday that $780,
100000 shall be the capitalization of
the new mortgage loan corporation
which is to be organized here to ad-
vance money for the rebuilding of San
Francisco. The promoters OF the en-.
terprise at first argued that $1O.000,-
900 capitalization would provide an
ample vehicle for handling hundreds of
millions of investments, but 1t was
found that San Francisco favors q
much larger capitalization, giving op-
portunity for investment by the Pacific
coast. Hence it is now considered best
to capitalize for $100,00.000, with paid
in subscriptions reaching $10.000,000
cash.

ple and have kept In touch with what

they have a taste for tho best society.
twenty-five years ago there was no
their Inherited or acquired right to It.
but the tendency on tho part OF GER
tain of their fellow citizens to what
1,as been characterized as "tho habit
Of getting rich" has changed all that.
1t In not only that tho accumulation
of colossal fortunes restricts tho imam

Domodossola, Italy-The Simplon

by King Victor Emmanuel, who left
here at 1885 n. m. for Brique, on the
Swiss side of the mountain. The royal

miles of tunnel drawn by steam en-
gine, the electric motors not being
ready. On reaching the middle of the
tunnel, at height OF 1900 feet above

"It is Cyclopic work, the result Of

Armies and navies are expensive:
we need farmers more than we need
soldiers: we need merchant ships
more than we need battleships. The
civil war demonstrated that 1t does
not take long to make flrst-class
fighting man of the American citizen
and there are 100000 such ready
to fight in a quarrel with stranger.
THE only power that is at all likely to
give us serious trouble is Japan, and
she will not undertake it until she
shall think herself strong enough to
order all the other white folks out of
her neighborhood. That will be gener.

making of a home or the acquisition

ties of society she has no time what
ever.
