William Sprague of Rhode Island
one of the three surviving governors
of Civil war days, was born at Grams
ton, r, l., Sept. II, 1880. His family
was one of wealth and as soon as his
schooling was finished he became
manager of the largest calico printing
establishment in the country. He was
also interested in the manufacture Of
locomotives. In 1860, in 1851 and in
1862 he was elected governor of Rhode
Island and was very active in raising
troops on Lincoln's CALL He was with
the Rhode Island troops throughout
the Bull Run campaign, and was COM
missioned brigadier general, but de-
clined because he had been elected to
the United States senate. Upon his
election to the senate he resigned as
governor, Jan. /, 1863. He was a thor
ough student of finance and predicted
the panic of 1878, in which his Arm.

forced to the wall. Governor Sprague

WHERE THE VALUES ARE REAL

Stocks of Wall street are said to
have declined $1.75O.O0O,0OO since the
beginning of the year, but these were
only speculative values controlled by
the manipulation of shrewd financiers.
But the real values of the country are
mot shrinking, and the sum of it's real
activities are not at the beck and call
OF Wall street.
Cabinet officers who have been tour
ing the country and coming in direct
touch with the real situation are a
anti in the reports that they give out
for publication. They are in harmony
with the statements given out by Har-
rinan to the effect that there is moth
ing in sight to base a calamity howl
upon.
Lands are not lower; the products
Of the soil bring excellent prices; the
railroads have all the business that
they can handle; manufacturing shows
no falling off and mining grows from
year to year. These are the real values
and the pivot upon which the wheels
OF prosperity turn Wall street must
In time fall in line and learn to be
safe and sane.

an to find her fond of flowers, and
women of the 400" seldom have been
seen in a happier light than at present,
when they are engaged in rivalry over
the cultivation Of dahlias.
The dahlia is a common plant in
Europe. in many places growing wild.
1t is rarer plant in this country, and
as II belongs almost exclusively in the
dollhouse it has been developed to a
beauty not approached In the most ia
vored spot abroad There is some
doubt as to the one who receives the
credit for the sudden growth in popu-
larity of the plant. The Vanderbilt
Conservatives are now stocked with 1t.
Mrs. w. K Vanderbilt has marked the
dahlia as her favorite flower. and so
has Mrs Clarence Mackay. Mrs.
Harry Payne Whitney is another lover
Of the dahlia, chiefly because Of its
rainbow tints and its rare value for
decorative purposes.
Mrs. Mackay seems to have the lead
in the friendly rivalry just now, for
she has a dozen plants of truly sur
passing beauty. The hearts Of the

Earle's doctrine of affinity" is more
pernicious to the peace and safety of
society, especially in its bearing on the
family relations, than the dangerous
doctrine of the unwritten law. The
Iaxness of the marriage tie is already
serious menace owing to the loosely
constructed divorce laws, and the lit
tie regard that many hold for the sa-
credness of the institution. Any rec
ognition Of the "aftinity" doctrine
would be a new letting down Of the
bars and would end in a flooding Of
the courts with those who at best are
nut seeking an excuse to experiment
with contract marriages at the expense
of common decency.

Irrigation is valuable in the fact that
it allows wider range of diversity in
crops and industries. One fruit man
in the Payette valley has given some
serious attention to bee culture, and
supplements his revenues this year by
the sale of carload of comb honey
to Spokane firm for $2,779. and has
10000 pounds OF strained honey to sell
IN the local market. Bee culture, the
dairy, creameries and cannerles all
are adjuncts to the natural Develop
nrent of an irrigated country, and in
This diversity of crops and manufac-
fured products the country thrives and
grows prosperous.
