Beautiful Thoughts"

l was sitting at my windo
Thinking ore things past, n gone,
When my thoughts were quickly turned
To the beauty of the morn.
The golden sun was rising,
And The birds at peep of day
Were chipping to their mates,
Who were waking ore the way
The little flowers were raising
Their heads covered ore with dew,
And the beauty of the morning
Seemed to softly call to you
And as l sat there thinking
OF the goodness of our Lord,
The beauty of the morning,
Filled my heart with sweet accord.
And I thought how very thankful,
We should be that God is nigh,
To answer every prayer,
And attend to every sigh.
And 1 thought how he had suffered,
Just to nave our sins forgiven.
And as my thoughts dwelt on this,
NV eyes we're raised to heaven.
1t seemed thatI ouid see him.
Seated on his crystal throne
And the angels round o him,
Sans in soft and low sweet tones.
And while they softly murmered,
With a smile upon their face,
I wished that l were with them.
In that fair and lovely place.
Then l walked from my musing,
And my lovely scene had gone,
And I again was viewing
The beauties of the morn.
But ever Just before me
Is the scene that l once viewed,
And the love and faith i had In Christ,
Has ever been renewed.
And 1 sincerely hope that some day,
Ishall view that scene again
And shall have II place by Jesus.
In that fair and lovely land.

Gov. Curry of New Mexico claims
that Territory has a population OF
400, 900 people and immense mineral
and agricultural resources. New
Mexico will not much longer remain
without statehood. But for the ap-
preaching presidential election, a
bill would no doubt be passed this
congress providing for its admission
as a state. With New Mexic0's al
mission, will probably come Arizona

Courage and effort alone are requir-
ed to insure victory to the worthy.
In the struggle of life the good Is the
more powerful. 1t is only when the
giant falls by the wayside that evil
creeps upon him and infllcts its
wounds. "Thrice is he arm'd who
hath his quarrel just" is not an idle
adage.

armads's cruise from Hampton Roads 10

authority OF international reputation, re-
fers to it IN the London Daily Mail as a
voyage which will be ever memorable IN

The British press generally seems dis
posed to take an unfriendly tone. refer
ring to the cruise as a wanton affront 70
Japan and a specimen OF American
''bombast."
Wilson. however. discussed 1t very
fairly.
Never before has so enormous a Norce
attempted such an operation" he says.
'Rojestyensky's fleet was IN every re-
spect inferior TO Evans command, though
the number Of ships IN the Russian Bal
tic fleet was slightly larger. The British
Channel fleet Is weak by comparison.
The German high sea heet IS left far be-
hind.
''The announcement has been made that
the voyage VIII be accomplished under
war conditions. But the fact remains
that in war it would not be possible 10
use neutral ports. and IL is upon neutral
ports that Evans will depend to do his
cOaling.
Another fact has TO be noted. The
twenty-ore GOLFERS which VIII supply the
fleet are British, and under real war con
ditions neutral assistance 10 a belligerent
fleet would not be permitted. The Japa-
nese in 1904 gave notice that they would
sink any neutral colliers accompanying
the Baltic fleet. ana they were perfectly
within their rights in so doing.

ORCHARDS WIFE A WITNESS
barrow Fails to Shake Her Story
in CrOss-examinatiOn.
senator BOrah and Mr. HawIey Well
Satisfied with Case the state
Has Presented.

Boise. Idaho, Dec. Glowing to the
long cross-examination Of Mrs. Toney,
Harry Orchards Colorado wife, the State
did not conclude its case to-day. Senator
Borah announced that after the examina-
ton of two witnesses. whose testimony
would be brief. the prosecution would
rest It's case on Monday morning.
Mrs. TOney's REORGANIZATION began
yesterday. 1t was not concluded until
this afternoon. Mr.. barrow questioned
her on all the points Of her direct testi-
mony, and while the witness made no
effort 10 give dates correctly. as she
said her memory had not been good
since the Independence depot explosion,
her story was not shaken IN any material
point. She said she had told her story
to the Pinkertons and to lawyers and
agents of the defense before the Haywood
trial. but was not summoned as a wit
ness.
Mark Toney, son of Orchards wife,
was the only other witness of the day,
and his testimony merely cOrrobOrated
that Of his mother. He went more into
details In regard to bottles which he found
at home. and which the State alleges con-
tanned Pettibone dope" He said Orchard
had told him not to touch. them as they
contained sufficient poison o. kill
Senator Borah and Mr.. Hawley tonight
expressed themselves as well satisfied
with the case the State had presented,
claiming that 1t was stronger in every
way than at the Haywood trial. They
assert that the testimony given at the
Haywood trial was more discriminating
against PettibOne than against Orchard.
and in addition 70 this they have the evi-
dence given by Mrs. TOney and her son,
and by Charlie Neville, which they re-
gard as very damaging 10 the defense.

influential Friends in America,
and Premier StOiyPin VIII De
Asked to Release Him at Once-Is
Held Captive in 50. Petersburg.

New York, Dec A.-American friends
OF Nicholas Tehaykovsky. the aged Rus
sian revolutionist. who was arrested a
week or more ago when he returned 10
his native land after having been in exile
for twenty-five years, have learned that
he is confined in the fortress OF St Peter
and St Paul, in St Petersburg
This news came in cable message
from TchaykovskS's wife 70 Miss Lillian
D. Wald. head of the Henry Street Set
Element. 1t was .he first authentic news
that the patriots friends in this country
have been able 10 get regarding his ar
rest The message follows:
Husband imprisoned in fortress.
Wishes me TO come TO St Petersburg 10
secure permission for interview with him.
He Is suffering chills from scantiness of
the convict's uniforms. and is deprived OF
flannel"
Mrs. Tchaykovsky was in South Russia
at the time Of her husbands arrest, and
the message came from her there.
TchaykovslSy had gone on to st. Peters
burg TO see some old friends.
AANANooCs
Tchaykovsky is seventy years old. His
friends in this country who have been
circulating a petition asking for the re-
lease Of the patriot and Of Catherine
Breshkovsky, who was arrested at the
same time, said to-day that the fortress
of ST. Peter and st. Paul is situated on
the bank OF the River Neya. and its
foundation being practically level with
the water the whole interior is permeated
with dampness.
The walls Of the fortress are from ten
to twelve feet thick. and the windows 50
small that scarcely a ray of sunlight
penetrates TO the cells.
Robert Erskine Ely. chairman Of the
publicity committee that is working TO eff
feet the release OF the two prisoners,
said to-day that the committee had made
many efforts 10 find out the details Of
the arrests-what the charges are against
Tchaykovsky and Nine. Breshkovsky
and what their condition is-but their
numerous messages are unanswered
This seems TO prove" said Mr.. Ely.
that the Russian government is exercis-
ing so strict a censorship that no infOrma-
ton about This matter is allowed 20 go
out of the country"
The committee hopes 10 be able 10
secure enough funds 10 furnish counsel
for the two prisoners and to supply them
with proper food and clothing.
Petition Is Ready.
The petition, which asked the release Of
the prisoners on the ground that it would
be interpreted as an act of friendship By
a host of American citizens who are warm
friends and well-wishers OF Russia, VIII

A much-scrawled letter. evidently the
work Of a poor penman or an attempt TO
disguise the identity of the writer, which
told Of the location of three valuable dia-
mond rings which We're stolen from her
home several months ago. was received
yesterday by Mrs. G. L, Foster, Of the
Madrid apartments. Eighteenth street
and Kalorama avenue northwest
The police have communicated with the
authorities at New York City and have
found that the facts in the epistle are
true, the Jewels having been located in
one Of the pawhshops in that city.
On Hotel Paper.
The letter, which was written on the
stationery OF one Of the prominent hotels
of New York City, read as follows:
Mrs Foster:
Dear Madam: Just few lines. 20 Ter you know
that the three rings which stolen from you
were pawned the following day in this city at Smp-
sons Place, Br0ome street aud Bowery They brought
80. Hoping you viii be able 20 get them, as
know that yea value them a great deal.
FROM ONE MOST UNGRATEFUL.
7. s.-Pawned the next day at O'Clock in the
morning Do not know the given
Suspect Bogus Electrician.
The rings are alleged TO have been
stolen by John Eagan, alias william J.
Green, a bogus electrician, who gained
entrance into the apartments under the
pretense that he wanted 10 repair electric
light wires. He was recently Indicted on
the charge in the local courts. Eagan is
at present surviving a five-year term in
New York State penitentiary on the
charge of committing a similar theft.
Mrs. Foster showed the letter to the
police at headquarters yesterday, and the
police Of New York City were then mott
ned about the matter by telegraph. A
reply was received last night that the
rings had been pawned on September IS
under the name of Bowling. The pledge
has been discontinued. and efforts will be
made for the return Of the property TO its
rightful owner. The police are OF the
opinion that the letter was written by
some confederate OF the man who stole
the rings, who. facing a five-year i'm
prisonment, had the desire 10 have the
property returned.

London. Dec. 2i.-The English people
have been pleased at the telegraphed re-
ports Of the euIogies passed upon them by
the Kaiser on his return TO Berlin. Speak

when he said this He went on TO say:
''Englishmen are evidently great lovers
Of flowers. as might be seen III all Their
