Mark Twain's Tribute.

Mark Twain, on hearing one of Mr..
Polk Miller's performances, wrote as
Follows:
II think that Prince Henry in being
out West, and not hearing Polk Miller
and his wonderful four in Carnegie
Hall last night, has missed about the
only thing the country can furnish
that is originally and utterly Ameri-
can. Possibly ii can furnish some
thing that is more enjoyable, but ]
must doubt it until forget that pair
Of musical earthquakes, the Water
melon Song and Old Dan Tucker. -
Mr.. Miller will give one of his de-
lightful entertainments at the Colo
nial Theatre on next Friday night,
April ~. and also a matinee next
Saturday at 4 o'clock These perform
ances will be given under the aus
pices and for the benefit of the Ath-
letic Association of St. Johns Col
lege.

Big Reward For vandal

In another column of the Capital
DR.. George Wells is offering a reward
OF S25 for the apprehension and con
yiction of the person or persons who
last night smeared the front Of his
house, 13S Market street, with gas
tar. The act is pure and simple van
dalism. and the doctor will use every
means TO convict the guilty party.
some few months ago DR.. Wells pur-
chased the house corDer Market street
and Bryan's alley, from Miss Maria
Bryan. Or. Wells had the house re-
modelled and fitted out with sanitary
plumbing, painted inside and outside
until IL is now one of the handsomest
homes in the town. To have defaced
the front of this attractive home with
gas tar was the vindictive act of
somebody, or the act of fool. who
needs be incarcerated. Or. Wells,
who is one Of the most prominent
phvsicians I'm town, and Chief of
the Medical StaH of the Emergency
Hospital. is not known to have any
enemies who would maliciously de-
face his property. He says he will
leave no stone nturned to detect the
guilty party and will put professional
detectives on the case.

Will Preside at Meeting.

Upon the invitation of Former
Governor Frank Brown TO preside at
a mass meeting at the Lyric, Balti-
more, on Thursday night. in the in
terest of Mr.. Mahool, the Democratic
candidate for Mayor of Baltimore,
Governor Warfield has decided to ae-
cept and will preside over the Demo
cratic mass meeting.
With Governor Warfeld presiding,
the members of the association declare
that the State people will see that ex-
Governor Brown and his friends do
not want all the credit, and, although
they are willing to assume the work
of electing the ticket, they want
every influential Democrat in harness,
whether he lives in the city or coun-
ties. The principal speaker of the
evening will be United States Senator
William Pinkney Whyte.

IN FAVOR OF THE STATUE.
Mr.. J. Writ RandaII's Suggestion For The
Washington Memorial.

Mr.. j. Writ Randall, president of
the Farmers National Bank, OF this
city. is heartily in favor of the prOpo
sition TO have erected in this city, on
the north side of the State House
grounds,a a statue of Washington sheath
ing his sword. In speaking of the
suggestion he said:
"Onthe opposite side of the build
ing is the statue of De kalb, erected
by the United States in honor of that
hero, who fell at the battle OF Cow
pens while leading a charge of the
Maryland troops. That statue is full
of the spirit of conflict. Dekalb is
represented as waving his sword above
his head and cheering on his men to
the charge in which he led them. It is
plainly and properly symbolieal Of
war.
AN appropriate companion TO it
would be a statue symbolical Of peace,
and no more fitting one could be
imagined, perhaps, than one of Wash
ington in the act of sheathing his
sword. The peculiar appropriateness
of such a statue for such a spot would
lie in the fact that within few feet
and in plain sight of the spot where II
is proposed 10 erect the statue is the
old.Maryland Senate Chamber. where
Washington, in the presence of the
Colonial Congress, resigned his COM
mission as general of its successful
armies and retired TO private life.
"In no way, perhaps, could that
historical and beautiful incident be
more fittingly symbolized. 1t could
not be misunderstood, whereas the
rendering of n paper or of n sword
might mean many other things. l
have photograph of a very eele-
brated statue-that of Emanuel Fele-
berto, by Marocchetti, in Turin,
Italy--which shows that the sheath
ing of the sword may be made the
subject of q very graceful and beau
tiful statue. In that case il was in
tended to portray the ending of n
successful campaign, | believe. The
statue is an equestrian one. In our
case il should be, like that of De-
Kalb, only the figure of the hero.

NAVAL NURSE SENT TO PRISON.
Charged With Contributing TO Admiral TIL.
ley's Death Through Neglect.

Alfred Brison, a hospital apprentice
in the United States Navy, was SEN
fenced yesterday to serve thirty days
GU the charge of contributing To the
death of Admiral Tilley, oommandant
at the League island navy yard, by
neglect of duty. Admiral Tilley died
ON March , last, few weeks after
his elevation TO the post.
Two days after reaching League Is
land, Admiral rilley contracted
severe cold which developed into
double pneumonia, At first his wife
and daughter were i'm constant attend
ance, but as the case grew worse the
physicians ordered two men from
the hospital service. one had the
day shift. working until o'clock In
the evening and the other, Brison,
then took charge for the next twelve
hours.
on the night OF the Admiral'S death
Brison failed TO report at 5 o'clock.
The other nurse, believing his relief
would be only few minutes late,
went of duty as usual. At o'clock
the Admiral became suddenly worse.
The physicians had anticipated this
and had left orders that they be sum
moned at once in such an event.
The family becoming alarmed, al
though hardly realizing the gravity of
the case, hunted all over the house
for Brison without result. Nearly an
hour was thus occupied. Then IL was
seen that Admiral Tilley was fast
sinking and a physician was tele-
phoned for. The latter demanded Co
know why his orders had not been car
ried out and the family replied they
were ignorant of any such instruc-
tions.
The naval contingent here are indig-
nant at the matter and say the nurse
should have a year instead of thirty
days.

FAMILIES COMING IN

On every train that comes into
Ely, the number of women and
children is noticeable. They
are the wives and families of
men who have come here and
made positions for themselves.
Most of the men who have
cast their destinies with the
camp are young, and there is the
bloom of youth and hope in the
faces of the girlish wives who
are coming in to join them, now
that they have made sufficient
progress to feel that their flu
lures are assured.
On one of the trains. few
nights ago, there were six young
wives, with mites of babies in
their arms. These little ones
will live in Ely, doubtless, until
they grow to manhood and wo-
manhood, and when we, having
grown old, tell them what Ely
was at the time they came to
swell the population, they will
look at the brick and stone and
comforts of large city, which
will then surround them, and re-
aiize that cities, like men, grow
from infancy to maturity.

gives, went on to another place.
Hinckley remained where many
men, as intelligent as he, were
building their fortunes. He
reaped from their labors, they
reaped from his.
This community of effort is
shown in all things. The pros
peetors who found Ely's copper
mines beckoned to the men of
capital, and they came. With
out their capital and enterprise,
the toll of the prospectors would
have been in vain.
Today in the building of Ely
the work of no man is inconsid-
cradle. Every man who drives
Il nail into a board or lays Il
brick is helping the great work
before Us. Each one is Il Hinck
ley, with all the opportunities of
fortune before him. Those who
wander away, although as ener-
getie and worthy of fortune,
possibly may be the Alexanders
of the future, unless they find
another city of $4,000 growing
up somewhere And that quest
may prove long one.

a dispatch received by The
White Pine News last night from
San Francisco states that the
United States flag was missed and
then lowered at the labor
meeting in that city on Sun
day held to discuss the imprison-
ment in Idaho of officers of the
Western Federation of Labor on
the charge of completely in the
murder of former Governor
Steunenburg of that State. The
News prints the dispatch as re-
ceived. while not believing that
organized labor or any other
body of American citizens would
insult the nations colors. That
is absolutely incredible.

why DO MEN FAIL?

Last week a story came to The
White Pine News from
Seattle of the deaths of
Timothy Hinckley and Will
lam Alexander. Hinckley died
in palatial mansion, surrounded
by friends. Alexander died in
the almshouse alone.
Hinckley was rich and all the
resources of science were taxed
to prolong the feeble hutter of
his departing life.
Alexander was poor, misera bly,
poor, and his passing wrung no
sigh save from the wind as it
sobbed over the roof of the poor
house.
In the beginning of life,
Hinckley and Alexander were
evenly matched in intelligence,
health and manly character, but
in the game of life one won, one
lost.
The careers of these two men
inspires the question, Why do
men fail?
Were their life stories written
in the beginning of time, as the
fatalists belive, or were their
varying fortunes due solely to
the manner in which they grasped
the opportunities of life spread
before them? The latter belief
seems the more rational.
Alexander was at Seattle fifty
six years ago. Hinckley got
there two gears later. AleXan-
der saw a party of men, all of
whom afterwards became
wealthy, settle at Seattle.
But he, disregarding the advan-
tage which community Of effort
