When General Lew Wallace went
to New Mexico In 1879. as territorial
governor. he found the history Of the
I'D building an amending source OF
delight, The stories OF plots, Of muir.
ders, of executions, OF battles that
had ragged about its stout walls, were
constant source of inspiration, and
he strongly advocated that Washfr1g>

pass from national control The post
of governor left the general sufficient
leisure to write his now famous book
and he always declared that the ro-
nance of his surroundings did much
to keep him in the right mood for
work of the kind.

Out yonder In therinoonllght, wherein

AS they sing among tho beds where

"Sleep, o sleep!
The Shepherd guardeth His sheen.
Fast speedeth the night away,
Soon cometh the glorious day;
Sleep, weary ones, while ye may
Sleep, o sleep!"

And hear the angels singing to the

And 10! throughout tho hours of day

The music of the angels in that ten.

From angels and from flowers the

THE LOCAL MARKET
Brokers' Excursion Followed by
Dull Spell

The brokers' excursion to Spo-
kane on Sunday was a great social
success but it does not appear to
have done the market any good.
Monday there was only one session
and the call was lifcless. No sales
were recorded. Since then the bid
ding has shown but little more
spirit. The immediate outlook does
not appear to be very bright.
The continued depression gives
all sorts Of opportunities to investors
to acquire new holdings at very ia
vorable prices. Bullion, Idora, Cop
per King, Rhode Island and Rein
deer continue to be attractive buys.
The market for Nine Mile seems to
be manipulated and the stock had
therefore better be left alone just
now. Nabob is as good buy as
any on the board.
In unlisted stocks Lucky Friday
and West Nine Mile are cminently
attractive spcculations.
During the week $1,000 shares
were sold for the aggregate sum OF
$40, 202.75, a very poor showing as
compared with the previous week
when shares totaled ala, 400, worth
$2S, 157 40.

THE SPOKANE MARKET
Holiday Spirit Affected Business Ad.
versely

Spokane, Wash, May 23rd.-
The weeks business showed a great
falling off in volume as compared
with last but there is a distinct feel
ing that marked revival Of the
bull campaign will shortly eventu-
ate. Nabob, which has been weak
of late, is due to make another big
jump. Lucky Friday is another
stock largely held here which is be-
coming fashionable with the invest
ing public. The company expert
enced a good deal Of difficulty in
placing sufficient of its treasury
shares at I've cents to keep work go
ing at the mine but since the strike
was made Is cents has been paid for
the stock in large blocks. The stock
is expected to be firm at Is or 30
cents within few weeks.
A surprise to the professional
traders is the continued low price
Of Copper King.
Dom Paul, since its consolidation
with the Lady Bell, has shot up and
down in a bewildering way. The
Dom Paul crowd are very firm hold
ers and the recent rise brought little
stock in the market.
The Weeks Sales
The following table shows the vol
ume of business on the Spokane

Smelling steel by Electricity.

'The enormous quantity of iron ore
which is being scooped from the ranges
about Lake Superior, dug out of the
hills of Alabama and Tennessee and
hoisted from the deep pits Of Pennsyl-
yania, has caused the geologist II
mineralogist to make startling pradic-
lions. Some of them have gone SO far
as to say that we are approaching ar
era when iron may rank among the
rarer metals because of its scarcity.
Even James J.. Hill, the railroad mag
nate and developer of the Northwest,
who was one of the first to realize the
vast deposits of ore in the Superior
ranges, has made the prophecy that
perhaps within a half century most of
the richer ore beds will be exhausted
and that we may be obliged to go out
of America for much of the raw
material for u shelters and fur
naces."-Technical World Magazine.

The seaan-Chair.

Perhaps some expert in the Siamese
language will tell us what is Its word
for .'~sedan-chair." When the King of
Slams minister, protesting against his
najesty's favor toward motoring, sug-
gested recently that '.the royal sedan
chair" was always at his disposal, it is
improbable that he used a word remit
niscent OF the French town. For 1t is
froms~ che scene Of Napoleon ILLS coll
lapse that the sedan-chair takes its
name, and perhaps remote posterity
will suppose that it had some connec
ton with that event. But Sedan first
produced these conyeyances centuries
ago, and they were seen In England In
1881. One used by James LIS Bucking-
ham provoked great popular cutlery
against the employment Of men as
beasts Of burden. Sir S. Duncombe is
credited with having introduced them
ts I.oadc IN 1884 And Bath knows
the Pikwickian sedan-chair to this day.

Archbishop IIarrS.

Archbishop darty, of Manila. who
has been the Catholic head OF the
church in the Philippines for -four
years. says of the natives:
English is to be the language O. the
Islands. Even the Spanish priests,
even the most venerable, are learning
it. Popular education was fairly we'll
provided for before the American oc-
but the American govern
ment has greatly improved the pri-
mary school system, and has done n
vast deal Of good by impressing OH the
natives the dignity II labor. The peo-
pie are of good intellectual capacity.
They remain deeply religious. Paren-
tai authority is piously respected. The
home life is pure and attractive.
1T would be more than a mistake
to abandon the islands. 1t would be
nothing short of a burning disgrace.
1t would be Il shame. The brightest
page in American history will be that
recording the operations Of this gov
eminent in the Philippines. My belief
IS that in time the Filipinos may turn
Japan to Christianity. These Philip
pines are the pearl of the Orient. Just
think-siX million Christians in, we
may say, the heart of Asia! 1 believe
that the Filipinos will finally convert
the japanese, and the Japanese will in
due time convert Asia"
The only danger to the country now
is from professional re~volutionists,
If not repressed would be bloody
anarchists. The best element Of the
Filipinos respect and admire the
United States.

olde.t House in New York.

is situated at the lower END of Staten
Island in Tottenvple. 1t is known as
the "Billopp house, and was built in
1868. The Duke Of York presented
Captain Christopher BilloRp with a
tract of land on Staten Island, where
on he built this stone mansion, which
still overloeks the waters of Raritan.
That it was well built it's survival dur
ing 23S years attests. In it have been
many notable gatherings, and here was

Soldiers used to be despised in
China and only the coolies We're con-
sidered suitable material for fighting
men, says owen Macdonald in the
Technical World Magazine. To-day all
this Is changed, and China has an
army to which it is an honor to belong.
romtoms have been superseded by
wireless telegraphic apparatus and sig
nal balloons: masks have given place
10 field glasses, comic opera garb has
been cast off for khaki uniforms, and
the twohandled sword has become the
bayonet. China was first aroused to Il
sense OF her weakness. and her
strength, by the disaster of the war
with Japan in 1891. Hitherto she
lad siumbered like a great lazy giant,
smiling scornfully ut the suggestion
that smaller and weaker nations, by
