The aamecock of the Marlborough

From the Naval Chronicle.
The gamecock on the Marlborough on the
glorious LIST of June, 1894, had been pre-
sented to Lord Lennon, who placed him in
a walk, where he strutted with silver
collar round his neck" He deserved the
honor, for in a degree he saved the ship.
She was being raked fore and aft The
captain was wounded, and many officers,
including Michael Seymour who lost his
arm (afterward the great frigate captain).
From his son, Canon Sir John Seymour,
have oft heard how the men were going
down all sides and leaving their guns
when the cock mounted the stump of the
mast and crowed an omen picked up Ia an
instant by the first lieutenant, who cried,
Back to your guns, men! Back to your
guns! While we live we'll crowr' And
back the men went and fought like game
cocks until relief came.

from overwork. The device is of such size
as to fit nicely in the hand. and 1t is COM
prised mainly Of pair of blades between
which the marble is held. One of the
blades is of flexible material, and upon the
exertion of certain amount of pressure
the marble Is shot from the device as If pro-
jected from a gun.
1t has been n sad handicap for the small
boy that at the opening of the marble sea-
son he has not been able to play marbles
more than four or five hours per day until
his hands got in trim from practice, but
with the use Of the new toy such training
is not at all necessary. He will be able to
play marbles for the whole twenty-four
hours II not interrupted by his thoughtless
and inconsiderate parents, who insist that

SECRETARY GARFIELD.

hon. James Rudolph Garfield made a
very favorable impression upon Wyo-
ming citizens with whom he came in
contact. He impressed them as being
intensely earnest in the work he is do
ing and he also gave them the impress
sion that he was capable of performing
an immense amount of brain-rackinS
work. In statement he is at once di-
rect and convincing. He does not
mince words nor use phrases OF ambig-
uou meaning. He goes direct to the
meat of every proposition.
The present trip of the secretary is
an educational one. He rightly be
lieves that he can obtain more infoc-
nation first hand in the field than he
can through his representatives. In
his Judgment a cabinet official who al,
most daily passes upon rights invoiv-
ing millions of dollars worth Of proper
ty should have all the Information re,
lating to the actual physical conditions
hat he is able to obtain. In his trip
over the west, Mr.. Garfield is getting
in touch with the men who must first
pass upon land titles for the people.
He wants to know just what kind OF
men are holding the federal positions
in his department and whether they
are courteous, obliging and trustwor'
thy. 1t is his ambition to have every
Official in the department of the inter
ior a capable, honest man. All others
he is wedding out as rapidly as their
shortcomings are brought to his atten'
ton.
Secretary Garfield is considerably
above the average height and is hand
some in appearance. He has a quick
keen, Intelligent eye. In N he
impresses n as being exacting yet
fair to employees, and a man Of tremen
dous capacity lor the performance o.
any work that may come TO him, 1t Is
tolerably safe to say that the men O
Wyoming who met Secretary Garfield
will feel perfectly safe when they have
an honest ase upon which he mus
pass Judgment.

ONE OF THE CHIEF GLORIES.

Congressman Mondell of Wyoming,
at the opening session of the land con-
vention in Denver, spoke strongly
against the presidents public land pol
icy.
He denied the necessity for any
radical departure from the past policy
of passing public lands into the hands
of Individuals He insisted that any
changes in the land laws should be
in the direction of making possible the
acquisition of larger areas of land fit
only, or principally. for grazing"
Mr.. Mondell's difference with the
president is undoubtedly an honest one
He tells the truth as he sees it. Yet
that truth is not necessarily the whole
truth.
The whole truth, we believe, is that
the land policy of the Roosevelt admin
istration, its forestry policy, its irriga'
ton policy, will go down in history as
one of its chief glories.
The time had come to deal with the
public domain from a broader view
point than the present needs of any,
body who is in position to exploit it al
the moment. To do this has beer
sometimes unpopular, but the presi
lent has kept at it.
The president has attacked the prob

linht from SUGAR.

Starlight, sunlight, moonlight, gas
light, lamplight, candle light, electric
light and now sugar light. A phenom-
enon whose cause has not as yet been
satisfactorily explained recently was
observed by an expert during the
course of certain experiments. Disks
of loaf sugar were mounted on a
lathe and rapidly rotated while a ham
mel played lightly against them. An
almost continuous radiation was thus
produced from the sugar. 1t was
shown that the light did not arise
from heating the sugar, and it is be-
lieved to have been caused by some
change having taken place in the
sugar crystals. The act OF crystalliza-
ton is known to be accompanied
sometimes by flashes Of light. The
practical bearing of these experiments
is on the question of obtaining arti-
fetal light by methods as yet untried.

WYOMING FALSELY REPRE-
SCENTED.

In this issue The Republican pre-
Wyoming Stock Growers association
that throw an entirely different light
upon the sentiment of the people of
the state than that ATTEMPTED to be
given by the delegates to the Denver
convention. The nva of the Wyo-
ming association shows about the
same results as the v made by
the national land commission some
two years ago. The public land com
mission put the query, "Do you favor
government control of the ranges uri-
der reasonable regulations?" and of
19S Wyoming men who replied TO the
query, It's said Yes and only %
said mo" And now, to the queries
sent out by the Wyoming Stock Grow,
ers' association, 1t is found that just
about the same percentage of a great
deal larger number are of the same
opinion.
From this testimony only n con
cluison can be reached, and that is
that the real sentiment of the stock
men Oh lne SIult is idNOldblt W boN
eminent leasing of the great grazing
areas. The stockmen do not take this
position because of any great phil
anthropic feeling that is swelling their
hearts, but because they know that
their individual interests will be best
subserved by n system that will give
them individual control of sufficient
range to pasture their herds and
tlocks; a system that would make it
possible for small owners to give o n
slant ARE to their animals; a system
that renders %roundups and commun-
istic operations unnecessary; a system
that makes 1t possible to breed up to
the highest instead of dropping down
to the lowest; a system that would
make it possible for Wyoming to send
the finest cattle on earth to the fat
stock shows; a system that permits of
neighbors meeting each other on
friendly terms and that renders the
dead-line imperative; a system that
will give to Wyoming twice the live
stock, double the population in the
stock business, prosperity II peace.

May Not Come To Trial.

There is a probability that the case
of Miss Edna Irvine, charged with as
sault for shooting George Knighton,
manager of the Joe Letter ranch, will
not come to trial. Knighton has not yet
appeared, and efforts of the county at,
torney to locate him have failed. 1t
is believed he has temporarily left the
country in order to avoid the necessity
of appearing against the young girl
who shot him. Miss Irvine is the daugh.
ter of ex-State Treasurer w. C. Irvine,
and the shooting of Knighton a year
ago created a sensation.
The Eight Convictions.
Those so far convicted are Charles
Ross, criminal assault on Rachel
Jones, a little girl at Dietz; Ed Col
man, grand larceny; Charles Vassar,
%felonious assault; Mike Bumbaca, the
first of the Italians to be tried for as
saulting Americans at the Monarch

Pappilla at once pleaded guilty to the

trait was described as being that of a
man unknown. and, further, the artist
was also unknown. Now no knew
that the portrait was that of a famous

He longed to buy it. but decided that
it would go at too high a price. He
went to the auction with very little
hope. The Whistler and the Sargent

this picture. Nobody recognized it.
Finally he had to start the bidding
himself, and this he did. Only one
man bid against him, but he soon
stopped, discouraged, and then the
picture was knocked down to the man
who had expected to get It. He
hurried to the desk to pay the small
amount and to carry off his prize. "Do
you happen TO know anything about
that portrait?" the a~uctioneer asked
him, as n porter took 1t down to a
