colerIdoe and the "1imes."

II cannot be generally known that
In 1906 the principals Of the Times
altoeether rejected an offer Colerldge
made them of his services. Writing in
this months Albany, Mr.. I. n. S.
Escott tells of how the archives of the
times used to include memorandum
from the poet-philosopher offering his
services and specifying his terms, but
,mnosing certain conditions affecting
the general policy Of the paper. How
ever, says Mr.. Escott, neither the
Walters nor their editors would have
divided their prerogative with con.
tributor even so illustrious as S. T. G..
Moreover, apart from personal lrreg'
u1arities. his recent performances in
journalism elsewhere were OF kind
not likely to have recommended him
to Printing House Square. He had
written in the Courier an article
against the Duke of York, and while
the number in which it waas to appear
was going through the press the Treas
ury got wind of Coleridge's contribu-
tion. and intervened so effectively that
the two thousand copies which had al.
ready been printed off were suppress

The Sure Guide.

The late Dr.. Andrew A. Bonar re-
lated to me the following incident:
"A man once asked me, is not con-
science safer guide than the Holy
Spirit?' 1 just took out my watch
and said, Is not my watch better
than the SUM- Suppose that said
to you, I will tell you the hour by
my watch, and you must always take
the time from me- That is con-
science. 1t is the sun that is to rule
the time. Conscience is fallen and
corrupt. If We had an unfallen con-
science, like holy Adam, it would be
as if my watch were always to agree
with sun. But now it is a most un-
safe guide. Sometimes we hear men
say. I don't see any harm in this
practice; my conscience doesn't con-
denn it. 1t is not your conscience
or YOUR consciousness that is the rule
of right and wrong; the law is the
standard. By the law is the knoWl-
edge of sin; sin is the transgression
of the law, not of conscience. -

BURNED THEIR CLOTHES.
And Frightened the Inhabitants.
Fire at Waldo Hall.

A FIRE alarm at noon Friday
called out the fire department
and caused considerable excite
ment when it became known
that Waldo Hall, the handsome
new dormitory at OAC was the
scene of the conhagration.
Just how the fire originated is
not known although the suppos,-
ton is that rags used in cleaning
lamp had been left in the closet,
spontaneous combustion result
ing. The closet was a mass of
flames before the fire was discov-
cred, the great heat bursting the
transom over the door.
The closet was in suite of
rooms belonging to Misses Jessie
and Gertie Davidson of lone, and
Miss Faye Roderick, the we'll
known basketball girl, of Irrigon.
All of the clothing belonging to
the three girls was hanging in
This large, roomy closet and their
trunks and telescopes were also
stored therein. Everything was
completely DESTROYED leaving the
girls with only the apparel they
were wearing at the time.
The interior of Que loom was
badly damaged, the plastering
torn off and havoc wrought in
general.
The remarkable feature in the
case is that there was practically
no water in the Hall save that in
the kitchen which was carried in
by three-fourth inch pipes for
cooking purposes. The efforts
of the fire department were there
fore unavailing, as water had to
be carried by hand from the
kitchen upstairs to extinguish the
flames. 1t is probable that no
further delay will occur in sup
plying the Hall with plenty oi
piping and faucets, which is, oi
course, the intention.
1t is fortunate the affair O
Friday was not more serious II
its consequences, as under ths
circumstances it might have beer
a shocking calamity.

new MINERAL In ALASKA.
Has Consistency of Chalk and is
-, Indigo Blue in Color.

A recent discovery 125 miles
below Rampant on the Yukon
has aroused intense interest in
the North. James Langford, a
Rampant pioneer, has found a
vein of mineral of the consistency
of chalk and of indigo blue in
color. 1t can be used as ordin-
ary chalk. None OF the Alaskan
minerologist can identify il and
it is being sent to Seattle for an
alysis.
There is now in Alaska prob
ably dozen unidentified speci-
mems of minerals ana one of the
many benefits to Alaska and
Yukon of the Alaska Yukon Pa
ci6c Exposition, which will be
held at Seattle in 1899, will be
bling and classifying of
these now unknown specimens.
In many cases the owners of the
veins OF unidentified minerals be-
lieving that they stand chance
of winning great wealth as their
find may be some hitherto undis-
covered combination. As origin
al research work will go on all
the time the exposition is in pro-
gress one of the first duties of the
savants in charge of this branch
| will be the identi6ng of these
unknown elements or combina-
tions, and the adapting of them
to some commercial purpose.

Usual interest is being mani.
tested in the engagement of the
"Thor1s and Orange Blossoms"
company at the opera house to-
night. The entire production is
the same that made such re-
markable impression at the Acad.
emy of Music at Chicago. The
scenery is newly painted and
forms an endless variety ot
picturesque places. The play
tells a story of intense interest to
all classes. While in co wise e
problem play, still the theme
treats of a girls contempt for the

geniously mixed with the resul
that "Thorns and Orange Bios
