Fines and Sail Away.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24-The De-
partment Of Justice announced today
that most of the japanese seal poachers
who were recently convicted at Valdez
Alaska, have paid their fines and were
today sent to Unalaska, where they
were allowed to sail on their schooner
the Nitto. Three members OF the crew
of the Kaiwo, another poaching vessel.
are still in Jail. Ten OF the Japanese
who were in small boats sealing within
the American three mile limit were con-
victed.
They were sentenced to fines ranging
from $500, for the captain of the Nitto,
to 5000.

to the accomplishment OF these remark
able innings of the inventive faculty;
the stories told are brimming over with
succinct data as to the history OF the
man who made the discovery. the nature
OF the appliance, its relative value to
commerce and the people. with the in
variable promise that in a few months
or a year at most, it will be in full op'
eratioh to the sure defeat OF some
gigantic and long-borne monopoly.
The latest that we have seen Is the
marvellous attainment OF one Patrick
Delaney. master.telegrapher who has
invented mechanical process for the
sending Of an interminable lot OF mes
sages on one wire at one time, to the
incomprehensible eheapening of telegra-
phic service and almost putting the art
of despatching into the hands OF the
layman himself, who. it is said. will be
able to send his messages with the
same celebrity he does his mail; in fact,
the new system OF correspondence has
been given the name OF "telepost" to
signify its relation, as to simplicity. to
the postal function.
These things make good reading to the
millions utterly tired OF the exactions OF
the vested corporate systems that "hog'
the last cent the dumb public will stand
for the service, in every conceivable
line; but they so seldom materialize'
and SO certainly fade away never to be
heard OF again, that the popular faith in
the discovery and discoyerer is shat
tered, and the stories of the day in this
line are read as were the fairy tales
of our childhood, and scarcely with the
sincere faith the child awards the pretty
illusion, for we have learned to read with
all the reservations that crucial disap-
pointment, repeated thousand-fold, has
forged into habit.
1t is the same old story of the play
of money against the brains and comfort
and pocket of the masses; the wearisome
history of monopolistic greed that denies
the gift of development and sureease OF
extravant cost, because the new device
will dispose of the clumsy paraphernalia
of today, and add expense for its adop'
ton, at the same time lowering the rate
of profit so long exacted; therefore, it
is bought up and "smothered" and in
definitely. This will be the fate of the
Delaney device; it will not live an hour
longer than the Western Union, the
Postal Telegraph, and all the subsidiary
concerns, can formulate a plan for its
purchase and submergence. The tale is
an old one and will lose none of its
effectiveness by being told again.

AUTO USAGE TO COOS BAY.

EUGENE, Sept. 24.-Thos Wolfe, OF
Florence, left here this afternoon for
Portland to purchase an automobile for
an autostage line which he and his as
sociates. D. NJ. Kemp and Warren An
lrews, will establish between Florence
and Coos Bay. Ii it is proven that the
venture is success they will purchase
a second auto for the route. The dist
ance between Florence and Coos Bay is
40 miles and the run can be made be-
tween the two places in an hour. but it
is not probable that an attempt will be
made to make such fast time. The autos
will make the run up and down the
beach, which is the finest road in the
country, the wet sand making it just
right for automobiles.
This is an enterprise which will no
doubt succeed, and will be the means
of quicker transportation between the
Willamette valley and Coos Bay, and
persons who desire to reach that section
of the state can take the stage at
Eugene, and reaching Florence the next
morning can reach the bay at noon.
The auto will be brought up from
Portland by Mr.. Wolfe, and will arrive
in about three days. 1t will have a
carrying capacity of seven passengers.

BEAUTY, IRISH OR AMERICAN.

When the United States Government
commissioned the late Augustus ST.
Gauiens, the famous artist, to select,
and furnish an etching of the profile that
is to adorn the new gold coins of the
nation, he was given carte blanche in
the matter; and acting solely as an
artist, searched for, and found. an ideal
face for the purpose. 1t was the ex-
quisite profile of radiant Irish beauty,
o Miss Cunningham, Of Vermont, a
waitress, but possessed of a perfect face.
His recommendation was evidently ap-
preciated and accepted by the Secretary
of the Treasury, Mr.. Cortelyou, without
reference to Miss Cunningham's nation
ality, and the dies were ordered cut.
Now, the Independent Order OF Amer
leans. of Pennsylvania, in state conven-
tion, protest against the use OF this ideal
istic face on the current coin of the
realm, for the reason that Miss Gun
ningham. unluckily, in this case, was
born in Ireland; the claim being that
there are thousands of native born
girls of a type to fill the bill and that
it is necessary and proper that the
beauty adorning our money should
be typical of the native woman in all
her glory. This is a loyal stand to
take, and a safe presumption to enter
tain by the unartistic masses, but not so
easily confirmed when the real article is
sought among the countless types OF
which the lovely American is composed.
Exquisite as our women are, there is
but meagre percentage of their vast
number that supply all the artistic ele-
ments requisite in such a quest, and it
is due to the fact that St. Gaudens, as
a profound artist in such, devoted to
the exact fulflment Of this high COM
mission, adopted the face that met the
peculiar essentials of the work and never
gave thought to the sentiment involv-
ed, that this splendid type of a splendid
beauty, was chosen.
There is infinite comfort in the whole
transaction for Miss Cunningham, how
ever, and that is, that though born in
Ireland, though loyal. American-bred
girl, thought repudiated at last in de-
ference to the protest from Pennsyl-
vania, and elsewhere, she has received
the highest compliment that can be paid
to her perfect beauty, the open confr-
nation Of one Of the greatest artists of
his time, as to the rarity, the purity,
the ideality Of her classic lneaments;
this can never be taken from her, ami
stamps her at once and for all time as
possessing the attribute to which the
very universe bows in grateful recogni-
tion.
1t is not known yet what the treasury
department people are going to do about
the protest, nor would not be very sur
prising Il Mr.. Cortelyou should ignore
it, out Of sheer adherence to the eanons
Of art, the prime principle in the pro.
duction Of such an expression of that
art as a national gold coin. which, in
many instances is destined to live
through the un-numbered centuries, as
a sign to the unborn generations that
we knew what we were about when we
set up our standards Of female beauty.
