EXTRADITION RIGHT
MUST Be RESPECTED

New York, Aug. 15.-Charles E..
Browne, former examiner of silks IN
the government customs service in
this city, has been ordered released
from Sing Sing prison by Judge Hough,
of the United States court on writ
of habeas corpus. Browne was recent
ly brought back from Canada, where
he had fed after giving bail and was
taken direct to prison. His counsel
claimed this was in violation Of the
extradition treaty between the United
States and Canada.
In his opinion discharging Browne
from custody, Judge Hough declared
there is no authority vested in the
United States to seize or hold per-
son extradicted in pursuance of treaty
privileges, except upon the charge on
which the extradition was granted.
The court declared:
"This decision rests not only prima-
rily upon the civil rights of a fugitive
criminal who has been returned in &C.
cordance with an increasingly civil
lied International law, but upon the
grounds of national honor, imposing
upon this government the obligation
to deal with the human being intrust-
ed to it by friendly foreign power
only with respect of the matter by
reason of which he was so Entrusted. F"

TO TRY CHINESE LABOR
ON ISTHMIAN CANAL

Washington, Aug. 13.-Chinese Ia
Dor will be given a thorough test on
the Panama canal. Contracts calling
for 2, 500 Chinese for canal work have
been prepared, and advertisements
will be issued by the isthmian canal
commission in few days, asking for
proposals from labor agents.
If the initial 2, 500 Cinnamon prove
a success, it is likely that many more
will the taken to the isthmus to do the
work, which is said to be too hard for
the Jamaicans now employed there In
large numbers.
Organized labor has offered many
objections to the use Of contract Chi
nese labor but the Jamaican workmen
have proved inadequate, sufficient
Spaniards cannot be had Immediately
to rush the work, and the Chinese are
the last hope of the commission.
President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft,
Chairman Shonts, of the canal COM
mission, and other men prominently
identified with the canal work are
known to have delayed employing
Chinese until it became evident that
the other help available was not equal
to the demands.

STATE SUPREME COURT
DECIDES AGAINST "FRATS"

Olympia, Aug. 16.-The state su-
preme court has affirmed and approved
the action of the Seattle school board
barring all students from all high
school privileges, except that of at
tending classes, so long as the stu
dents belong to the Greek letter fra
ternities.
Members of the state board of edu-
cation, now in session here, speak in
hearty approval of the decision, and
say it will have the effect of stamping
out serious and growing evil in the
state schools. M ne .--.1
The decision was in the case of
George Wayland, minor, by Russell
Wayland, his guardian, against the
directors of the Seattle school district
Application was made to the King
county court for an Injunction to re-
strain the board from enforcing a rule
that all students who belonged to the
fraternities should be barred from
membership in the athletic associa-
lions, glee clubs, ETC., and from every
thing except the right of attending
classes. The King county superior
court refused the injunction. The
supreme court says in part:
eve express our complete satisfac-
ton with each and all of the findings
of the honorable trial court. 4 4
The evidence shows beyond doubt
that these secret organizations foster
clannish spirit of characterization
which results in much evil to the good
order, harmony discipline and general

INVESTIGATES FISHING METHODS

Washington and Canadian Commission
ers Will Visit Sound Canneries.
Bellingham, Aug. 16.-For the pur-
pose OF making an examination of fish,
ing methods on Puget sound, with a
view to improving the laws governing
the industry, the Canadian fish COM
mission and the fish commission of the
state of Washington assem- bled in this
city and conference relative to the
conditions on the coast at the present
time was held. The investigations to
be made may have some effect upon
the industry's future. From this city
it is probable that the joint commits
sion will make a visit to practically
all other large canning centers on the
sound, and visits to fish traps will be
made.
1t is likely that the commission will
then proceed to Victoria, and from
there start on tour of the most i'm
portant canneries of the upper coast.
The closed season is one of the pivots
of the discussion, and the cannery
men on both sides of the line hope to
secure legislation which will give them
as many privileges as possible and at
the same time preserve the salmon.

Chicago, Aug. 11.-Cattle raisers OF
the West met Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson in this city yesterday and asked
for square DEAL"
Secretary Wilson assured them, as
we'll as representatives OF Chicago
packers, who came into the confer
ence later, that a square DEAL was
exactly what the government intended
to give every branch of the meat in
dustry in this country, and at the con-
clusion of the meeting expressions OF
the utmost satisfaction were given by
all interests concerned.
Secretary Wilson visited Chicago to
discuss with the cattlemen and the
representatives Of the packers the in
depreciation and the working out OF
the rules recently promulgated BY the
department of agriculture under the
new meat inspection law. He said
after the conference had adjourned
that every phase of the question was
fully discussed from the time the an
imal left the pasture until it passed
into the consumers hands.

Portland Men Discover Big Subterranean

Portland, Aug. IA party Of
Portland men have discovered mar
velous cave, six to eight miles long,
40 feet in diameter and is believed to
lead into the very bowels of the ex-
tinct crater of Mount st. Helens. The
men followed the subterranean cham
Der nearly two miles with lanterns
and then clambered out through q
break in the side, opening upon a
swale.
The entrance from the cavern is
about mile from the house of Ole
Peterson, farmer residing 25 miles
northwest Of Amboy, near the head
waters of the north fork of the Lewis
river. Amboy is the nearest trading
post. The Portland men going into
the ST.. Helens foothills, ran out of
provisions and had to nd a man back
to Ambofy for more. While waiting
at Anderson's they were told of the
cave and went to see it.

The Divine Mirror.

Among Rome's treasures Of art Is a
superb fresco by Guido, called ''The Au-
rora." The painting Is directly over
head. covering lofty ceiling, and as
the beholder stands below and gazes up
at those splendid clouds and majestic
figures, his head swims, and the grand
effect Is lost in a dizzy whirl Of the
strained senses. But of recent years a
broad mirror has been placed under
the picture, near the floor; and as one
approaches and looks into it, he sees
the magnificent fresco reproduced at
his feet, perfect in PROPORTION and per-
spective, all it's beauties disclosed with
out effort to the delighted eye.
This is. just what the life of Christ
does for us. 1t mirrors the character
and attributes Of God.

First Of all he Is literally our neigh

and household. Then it is he who IL
close to us, In our own neighborhood,
In our own town, in our own parish, In
our own street. To love and to be kind
to these is the very beginning of all
true religion. But besides these, as our
Lord teaches, 1t Is every one who Is
thrown across our path by the changes
and chances Of life; he or she whose
ever 1t be, whom we have any means Of
helping-the unfortunate stranger
whom we may meet in travelling, the
deserted friend whom no one else cares
to look after.-Dean Stanley.

Learn to He silent.

1t is great 8rt In the Christian life
to learn to be silent. Under oppOsitions,
rebukes, Injuries, still be silent. 1t is
better to say nothing, than to speak in
an excited or angry manner, even IL
the occasion should seem to justify a
degree of anger. By remaining silent.
the mind is enabled to collect itself,
and to call upon God in secret aspira-
tons of prayer. And thus you will
speak to the honor of your holy profess
sion, as well as to the good Of those
who have injured you, when you speak
from God.
The Present.
The present! the present is all thou hast
For thy sure possessing;
Like the patriarchs angel-hold it fast
Till it gives to thee its blessing.

Bishop Heber was among the few
men whose hymns passed into the her.
itage of Christendom during their life
time. He was Bishop of Calcutta, and,
as every one knows. wrote From
Greenland's Icy Mountains" He once
heard one of his compositions sung by
his native converts in Meerut, more
beautifully, he thought, than he ever
had in England. And as he listened
to the voices of the souls he had awak-
ened, he felt belief in his power for
good which he had never before expert
enced.
Rev. G. r. Prynne felt some natural
pleasure on one occasion when the In
cumbent of the Protestant Church at
Rome gave out this hymn, "Jesus, Meek
and Gentle" when he was helping in
the service. He discovered afterwarG
that the clergyman was entirely ignor-
ant that he was the author; but even
when shorn Of complimentary signifi-
canoe, the incident left sweet and last
ing impression.
He had not realized till then that his
hymn had made its way in the world
outside England. Hearing it so far
away from home, he said, seemed to
widen his sphere Of service.
A curate once ventured to hand a
book to the late Bishop Wordsworth Of
Lincoln at church opening, while his
hymn, 80 Day of Rest and Gladness,"
was being rendered. The bishops ges-
ture of refusal was fine and courtly.
''Do you suppose, young man, that
want book for my own hymn" he
asked. do you mean to say that
you are not aware Iwrote it?'-Youth's

Beware of Misjudging.

Perhaps it were better for most OF us
to complain less of being misunder
stood and to take care that we do not
misunderstood other people. 1t ought
to make us pause at times to remem-
Der that each one has stock Of cut
and-dry judgments on his neighbors,
and that the chances are that most Of
them are quite erroneous. What our
neighbor is we may really never know,
but we may be pretty certain that he
is not what we have imagined, and that
many things we have thought Of him
are quite beside the mark. What he
does we have seen, but we have no idea
what may have been his thoughts and
intentions. The mere surface of his
character may be exposed, but Of the
complexity within we have not the
faintest idea. People filed with self
consciousness and self-conceit are often
praised as humble, while shy and re-
served people are judged to be proud.
Some people whose life Is one subtle,
studied selflshness get the name of self
sacrifice, and other silent, heroic souls
are condemned for want of humanity
