A Great City /. a Great Solitude.

But little do men perceive what
solitude is, and how far it extendeth;
for crowd is not company, and faces
are but gallery OF pictures. and talk
but tinkling cymbal, where there is
no love. The Latin adage meeteth II
q little: magma civitas. magma soil

are scattered. 80 that there is not that
fellowship for the most part which 10
in less neighborhoods; but we may go
further and affirm most truly that 1t Is
q mere and miserable solitude to want
true friends. without which the world
is but a wilderness; and even In this
sense also Of solitude, whosoever In
the frame Of his nature and affections
,s unfit for friendship. he taketh 1t Of

HAND eRENAoEs OF 1912.
Old Time Ordnance Found at Fort Nc.
Henry-How They Were Used.

While examining the contents Of
the ordnance storehouse at Fort Nc
Henry Lieut.. ]. l.. Holcombe, Of the
One Hundred and Twenty-eighth coast
artillery discovered several boxes Of
old hand grenades which are supposed
to be more than . hundred years DID,
says the Baltimore American. The
missiles are Of the earliest make used
by the United States government, and
were probably placed at the historic
old fort when 1t was first erected In
1912. Owing to the way in which they
were packed the grenades had only
the slightest trace of rust upon them.
The discovery Of the weapons recalls
bit of the ancient history Of the
country In explaining their use Lieut..
Holcombe said that the grenades were
handled only by the grenadiers OF tho
ship. who. walking out upon the yard.

THE LENGTH OF ETERNITY.
This Man Had His Own and Peculiar
Ideas on the Subject.

Mrs. C.. w. McCulloch, Of Chicago.
on taking up her new office Of justice
Of the peace. told Chicago reporter
that in the performance of marriage
ceremonies she proposed to omit the
word "obey." "In these enlightened
days" said Mrs. McCulloch, the word
obey has lost its meaning In the mar
riage contract The best wife does
not propose to obey her husband.
any more than the best husband pro-
poses to obey his wife. Obedience is
for dogs, horses-creatures without
reason. So | think that we should
drop this meaningless word. For It Is
meaningless. AS meaningless as a
certain other word was to certain
boorish husband. The husband had
been particularly nasty one rainy Sun
day at home, and his wife finally be-
gan to cry. Eight years ago. she

A SAMPLE-Patrons of the post
Office sometimes wonder why II il
that letter they are expecting does
not come or n letter that Is sent by
them does not reach its destination.
An idea Of why this is 80 was given
to the writer this morning when Post
master Lewis showed him three letters
that had no stamp OH and four postal
cars that were samped. but contained
no address. In the case Of the latter
the addressc will be appriscd that a
letter awaits him at the Florence
postoffice but which cannot be sent
until the regular amount Of postage
Is forwarded. There Is no return
card on the envelope and Postmaster
Lewis has no idea who tho writers
are. In the case of tho postal cards
with no address the only thing to do
is to forward them to the dead letter
office at Washington. Moral: When
writing letters place the address aud
sufficient postage on tho envelope.

There was 4 kind Of public record
once attached to tho palace and tenn.
pie at Ninsveh, In which It was Gus.
tomary to deposit important legal and
other documents. such a. contracts
and agreements for the purchase and
sale Of property, marriage settlements,
wills, etc. Among these there were
discovered of1cial statements ~ to
tho history and transactions Of the
eminent banking house OF Egidu at
Nineveh. Assyrian chronology proves
that these refer to a date about 1900
years before the Christian era, when
Abraham dwelt at Ur Of the Chaldees,
as is stated In Genesis. We may,
therefore. claim for this firm the repu.
tation Of being the oldest bank In the
world. at least, Of which VIC have any
record, or are likely to have. The
accounts are very voluminous. and
cover the transactions Of i've genera
tions Of the house from father to SON.
The firm grew rapidly in importance
during this period. during which they
attained great wealth; for they had
succeeded in securing from the king
the appointment of collectors of taxes,
position which in the east always
leads to fortune. They afterwards
framed the revenue for several OF the
Assyrian provinces, with very great
gain to the firm.

ACTING GOVERNOR WILL
INTERCEDE FOR JOHNSON

On the theory that the laws Of
Colorado do not permit man to be
hanged for crime when he has been
convicted on circumstaptial evidence,
Acting Governor Harper will inves-
tigate the case of Andrew johnson. +,
who is under sentence of death for
the murder of Marshal Frisbie of
Lamar He is to be executed some
time during the week of August 90,
unless some action is taken by the
governor or the board of pardons So
far no application has been made for
clemency, either by johnson or his
friends, and the acting governor is
preparing to investigate the matter
on his own initiative.
II just wish to be sure that John.
son is getting absolute Justice" said
Harper. Naturally, l am inclined
to believe that Judge Hunter, the
trial judge. the jury and the district
attorney were in position to know
the facts, and they found johnson
guilty and sentence him to hang.
But, understand, there is ques-
tion as to whether or not johnson
actually fired the shot that killed
Marshal Frisbie, although he was
identified by two citizens of Lamar as
having done so. am Informed that
the law providing capital punish
ment says that something more than
circumstantial evidence must lie
offered before death sentence can be
imposed. 1t is on this point that l
wish to satisfy my mind. This is
the only question that would lead mo
t. take any action in the matter at
all"

London, Aug. 2.-After long litiga-
ton the high court of justice has de.
livered a judgment in the action of
the Carthusian monks to prevent the
use of the name "Cartheuse" in the
sale of liqueurs in England by the
French government, sequestrator of
the Carthusian property, from which
the monks were expelled in 1903. JUS
tice Matthew Joyce said in delivering
the opinion Of the court that after the
expulsion the sequestrator became en-
titled TO the business and that the con-
Germ now conducted by the monks at
Tarragona Spain, was not legally the
old Chartreuse business. The monks
action was dismissed with costs.

Wright, the farmer who was looking
for farm !aborers and Offering a large
salary with board, room, etc., has been
swamped with letters owing to the
publicity given the case. One mail
brought thirty eight inquiries, each one
wishing to know how to reach him,
and a dozen contained proposals OF
marriage to one of his daughters. The
answers came largely from Ohio, Penn.
sylvania and Illinois, while there were
a dozen or more from the state of
New York. Some of the letters were
young men actually seeking positions.
but some Of them were mercenary.
and put such question as the follow
ing:
How much are you worth? When
are you likely to die? Have you made
your will, and, If so, is it in favor Of
your daughters? Are your daughters
good-loOking, we'll educated and com.
panionable? Are your daughters Ell.
gagged or do you think they would like
to be? Many of the applicants send
requests for pictures of the Wright
girls and ask that jobs be kept open
for them until they are able to see
the photographs. Wright has all the
farm hands he needs now, however.
