No Site Yet For Fountain.

Lewis NJ. Seaver, representing the National Humane Alliance, which proposes to donate a $1,000 granite if a suitable site be selected for 1t. has a proposition to place it in Hot Springs. Word has been received at the city hall that the ladies of Hot Springs had promised MT. Seaver that if he would give the fountain to that city they believed they could secure a place for it in front of the Arling- ton hotel. When MT. Seaver was In Little Rock he desired that the foun- taia should be placed on East Fifth street, between Main and Scott, but the commissioners of the East Fifth street paving district objected to it's being located there on the ground that it would be injurious to the as phalt pavement at the point at which it might be placed. Mayor Lemon offered MT. Seaver his choice of a site at Sixth and Center streets, Sec ond, Fourth and Seventh, on Broad way, or Second and Rock. Neither one of these sites was acceptable to MT. Seaver He then suggested to Mayor Lemon that the city might have the fountain if it were given a place on Main street, near the free bridge. This proposition, of course, was de- clined by the mayor. MT. Seaver has promised MT. Lemon that he will visit Little Rock again in a few days and, if possible, will give this city the preference of being the custodian Of the fount It is not believed that the owners of the Arlington hotel at Hot Springs will consent to having the fountain located in front of that house, and if not it yet may find home In Little Rock.

Bryce Presents sun.Dial.

Before an audience of 1000 per-
sons, including undergraduates, fac
ulty and visitors, at Princeton, James
Bryce, British Ambassador, formally
presented the beautiful Turnbull sun
dial, given to Princeton University by
Sir William Mather, M. P. The dial
is a replica of the famous Turnbull
dial, which stands in the quadrangle
of Corpus Christi College, Oxford.
Before the presentation of the dial,
a degree of Doctor of Laws was con-
ferred upon Mr.. Bryce in the faculty
council room. Mr.. Bryce wore, by
special request Of President Woodrow
Wilson, his Oxford robes, and over
them the new purple hood, which de-
notes the degree of Doctor of Laws.
Mr.. Bryce in presenting the sun-dial
between this and the mother country
alluded to the historic and senti-
mental worth of sun-dials over clocks
and concluded by expressing the fell
low-feeling which existed between OK
ford, of which he is a graduate, and
Princeton. President Wilson accept
ed the gift on behalf of the univer-
sity. The ceremony was concluded
with ringing Princeton locomotive
yell" for the Ambassador and for the
donor of the dial, after which every

Roebling's aversion to race suicide

turing city postoffice in record time.
Less than fortnight ago citizens
filed a petition with the President
asking for the annulment of rural
postal delivery in their town and the
substitution of a postoffice of their
own. After the delegation that car
ried the petition had informed the
President that there had been births
in nine-tenths of the 800 families
since the place was founded, the ap-
pointment of A. l.. Major as post

NOVEL BY GEN. E. F. JONES.
Old and Blind, Author of Popular
Phrase Writes Successful Book.


Edward F. Jones, former Lieutenant
Governor of the State of New York,
but best known to fame as Jones, He
Pays the Freight" has become nov.
eiist. Although he is totally blind and
is rs years old, his book, which is call
ed Richard Baxter" compares favor
ably with many of the novels of rural
American life that have been so sue
cessful in the last five years. The
story was dictated to an adopted
daughter of the bliA d author. 1t is
sGid by his publishers that it is the
intention Of Gen. Jones to devote the
greater portion of the proceeds from
the sale of the book to an institution
for the blind in Washington.
Gen. Jones spent the early years
of his life on a Massachusetts farm,
and therefore knows the place and the
people of whom he writes. The
scene of Richard Baxter" is little
village in New England called Man
Aings Corners, the time between the
years 1880 and 1910. The story con-
Germs two young men, Richard Bax-
ter and John Manning, who are exact
opposites in word and action, Richard
being all that is admirable, John vii
lain of the type made familiar by
melodrama A mortgage figures in
the development of the plot-for with
out a mortgage no story of rural
American life would be complete-and
in the end Richard comes into his hap
py reward and John ends his life mis-
erably.
The book is full of pithy expressions
that are distinctly in the manner of
American rural life.
This is not Gen. Jones first ven
ture into literature, for he is the au-
thor of Uncle Jerry" and "The Origin
OF the Flag" though neither of these
effusions is as well known as his
famous idiom HE Pays the Freight"
This phrase was evolved when he was
manufacturing scales in Binghamton,
la 1865 His business was only of
moderate proportions until he began
to advertise it with the catch phrase:
rJones, He Pays the Freight" and
tho novelty of this announcement
made his business boom That par
ticular chicken came home to roost
with him when he ran for Lieutenant
Governor of New York in 1885. He
was elected and served his state WELL
just as he did in the civil war, when
he won brevet as general for his
gallant services.

Claim China,s Throne.

A Manchu Banner woman. married
to an English officer of Gordon's
army, which suppressed the TAPPING
rebellion, announced anonymously to-
day that she has made claim to the
throne Of China.
Unwilling to make public her name
lest relatives be assassinated in Pc
kin she has sent petitions to the
British Government asking that her
claim be taken up with China.
She says she is direct lineal de-
scendant of the third Duke of Chou,
and as such asserts that her right 10
the throne of China is prior to that of
the Empress Dowager.
With her husband and family she
has been living in Victoria for twen-
ty-one years, since they came from
Pekin, where is still living a younger
brother, who, she says, is next in line
to herself to China's throne.-Vic-

A Relic of Herodotus.

Recent excavations on the site of
ancient Naucratis on the delta of the
Nile have brought to light, among
other things, a possible relic of He
rodotus. to whose description of the
luxurious Greek settlement we owe
most of our knowledge of it, He vis-
tied the city in the latter part OF the
fifth century B. G. The relic in ques-
ton is the base of painted vase in,
scribed "Herodotou.' This vase was
found within the Hellenic precinct,
and seeing the comparative rarity Of
the name, and the coincidence of the
date OF the vase, as judged by It's fab
ric and the lettering Of the dedication,
with the probable epoch of the Hall,
carnassian's visit, it is a plausible
guess that this vase had some direct
connection with the father OF history,

Dairymen Blame LIQUOR.

Led by Ezra Scattergood, wealthy
farmer, dairymen near Burlington are
organizing a movement to bring prac-
tically every farming interest into
line behind the Anti-Saloon League
and help that organization to force
an early victory for local option in
New Jersey. The milk producers, who
repudiate the idea thai there is a
conspiracy between them and the
Milk Trust to raise prices, but who
declare that the farmer must get
more than four and one-half cents,
the prevailing wholesale price a
quart, say that most of the opposition
to paying the new retail price of ten
cents comes from those families
where bottles with alcoholic odors
are rivals with milk bottles in orna-
menting the kitchen doorsteps.

Riggest American Flag.

A tourist has been looking for the
big flag which Mauch Chunk folk cell
ebrated the Fourth Of July with sew
eral years ago. 'It was" he said,
the biggest American flag ever un-
furled, it's dimensions being fifty by
ESQ feet. A wire cable was stretched
from the top of Flagstaff mountain
to the top of Bear mountain. and the
great bit of bunting was swung about
the centre, right over the middle OF
the valley. The air currents are
tempestuous there in the evening,
and whenever the sun went down the
flag was ripped from its fastenings. "

An Oregon paper looking into the
future says that New York will in
time have to get it's apple supply in
Oregon, and gives as a reason that
our Eastern orchards are trained too
high. 1t is true, admits The Country
Gentleman, that most of our old
orchards are too long-geared to
spray thoroughly, but we have great
ly improved apparatus for spraying.
Young orchards are generally being
set on a lower and improved plan,
and the vigorous old orchards are be-
ing topped off and thus rejuvenated
to prolong their usefulness. We do
not need Pacific Coast apples yet, but
we need more orchardists who know
how to spray and equally importantly
what to spray for.

A wave of literary Puritanism, o.

A wave of literary Puritanism, or
something like it, appears to be
sweeping over England, says the Dial,
and engulfing her educational author
tiles. Kingsley's Westward Ho!"
has been blacklisted at Tilbury, and
the London Education Committee has
declared Mary Barton" unfit for
juvenile reading. Mrs. Gaskell, it is
alleged, is guilty of admitting to her
book sundry disquieting references
to immoral doings; and tie descrip-
tion of riots in Lancashire would
"rend the hearts of young children.
Children must, no one would dispute,
sooner or later learn to distinguish
between good and evil; but the meth
cd of training here adopted can not
but suggest the inadequate natatory
drill of the girl immortalized in
nursery rhyme. The boys and girls
of Britain will become objects of pity
when Marryat and Stevenson and
perhaps even Miss Yonge and Mrs.
Marshall are put under lock and key,
and the most exciting literature al
lowed is furnished by the Bessie
Books.

We take the following encourage
ment from Puck: There is no panic
in sight, and hard times are way be-
low the horizon. The New York Sun
and other inspired publications know
this as we'll as Puck; but whereas
the Sun and other inspired publica-
tions are privately moved to state
the opposite of what they know, and
to convey the idea that the country is
tottering to its ruin, Puck is per-
fectly free to state the truth. This
country is absolutely in good condi-
tion. The years crops will be large
and profitable. We cannot have hard
times without crop failures, and the
crop failures of the past will never
happen again-they can't. The Pa
cific Slope is fiourishing like a green
bay tree, and the broad land east
of it as far as the Hudson River is
prosperous. The man who talks
hard times is an interested liar or an
uniformed citizen.

Her Refusal to Leap Fatal.

Despite brave effort by firemen
to save her, Mrs. Minnie Swift, thirty
years old, employed as cook by John
Smith, who had a saloon and res
taurant in Harrison, was suffocated
to death in a fire that partly burned
Smiths building. All the occupants
of the building escaped except Mrs.
Swift, who refused to leap from a
third-story window into a blanket
made by tying overcoats together.
When the firemen arrived she was
found lying dead from suffocation
in her room. The fire was caused by
a back draught in the kitchen stove,
forcing the flames out into the roo. !.

The snti-opium movement, whic

The snti-opium movement, which
is becoming conspicuous in all lands,
is one of the many indications that
the common sense of the world must,
in the last resort, control the produc-
tion, sale and use of stimulants and
narcotics of every kind, remarks the
Christian Register. By the process
of natural selection some things are
weeded out, and, as the result of ex-
perience, that which is good for the
race is approved, and what is hurtful
is forbidden by public sentiment and
the private conscience. The law, rep
resenting the moral judgments of the
minority anG going in advance of
public opinion, commonly fails. The
law which follows and reinforces the
moral judgments of the community is
approved by the strong and furnishes
a support for the weak.

use Of Pneumatic Hammers.

In connection with the pneumatic
hammers, ordinary work is now done
at price for labor equivalent to a
reduction of from thirty-fiye to sixty
per cent. from hand labor rates. The
engineers of Great Britain and the
Continent are now as fully alive to
the very important advantages to be
derived from the use of pneumatic
tools as the American engineers, who
were the first to use such tools on an
extensive scale. At present pneu-
matte tools are to be found in prac-
tically all engineering works, ship
