was lately told n delightful story
OF great statesman staying with a
humble and anxious host who had In
vited a party Of simple and unlmpor-
tant people to meet the great man.
The statesman came In late for din
ner and was introduced TO the party.
He made a series Of old fashioned
bows In all directions, bat no one felt
in a position to offer any observations.
The great man at the conclusion OF
the ceremony turned to his host and
said in tones that had often thrilled a
listening senate: What very conven-
lent jugs you have In your bedrooms.
They pour well" The social frost
broke up. the company was delighted
to flnd that the great man was inter
ested In mundane matters Of a kind on
which every one might be permitted to
have an opinion. and the conversation.

Iences of daily life. melted insensibly

JOHN M. BURKE DIES IN EAST
Was Pioneer Mining Man and Former
Resident of this City.

Was Pioneer Mining Man and Former
Resident of this City.
When John NJ. Burke died Tues
day another one of the early pioneers
Of this state, and at one time one
Of its most wealthy and influential
men In business and the political
field.
Mr.. Burke was born In the state
of Maryland about so years ago.
When comparatively young man he
came west settling in Salt Lake City.
While there he met, wooed and mar
ried a member of one of the original
Mormon families. Miss Sarah e.
Greenig, who survives him. making
her home in Spokane. The mar
riage occurred in 1871, and in 1882
Burke and his wife came to Idaho,
and he engaged in the mining bust
ness in the Occur d'Alene country.
The mining industry at the time was
In its infancy in that district, but
Burke became interested in some
good paying properties, and these
eventually brought him a fortune.
He at one time owned many of the
properties now operated by the Fed
eral Mining company. He mined on
an extensive scale, and in honor of
him the town of Burke was named,
After acquiring his fortune, Mr..
Burke entered into the field of poll
tics. Money was plentiful in those
days, and to play the game of poll
tics was expensive. Fortune failed
to favor him in this new field as it
had in that of mining, and the wealth
that he had accumulated began to
fade away, and a few years ago
Burke found himself in Strengthened
circumstances. He turned his at
tention to mining again and went
to Reno, New. with the hope of win
ming back the fortune he had lost.
In the last few years his health be-
gan to fail him, and recently he
went to a sanitarium with the hope
of regaining 1t. but he had reached
an advanced age. and continued to
fail until he passed peacefully away.
Mr.. Burke at one time made this
city his home and will be remem-
bered by many of the old pioneers.
He was the candidate on the demo
cratic ticket in 1894 for the Office OF
governor. but was defeated by w. ].
Mcconnell of Moscow.
He leaves to survive him. besides
the wife a son In Nevada.

OUR SAILORS UNIFORMS.
Copied From England and Not Rep
rSssntativs Of America.


Copied FrOm England and Not Rep
rosantativs Of America.
All are familiar with the American
man-of-war sailors suit. but has any
one ever stopped to consider how he
comes by It and what the origin OF II
Isl With the exception Of the fit itself
and the stars In the corner OF the collar
the whole suit h copied from the Eng
lish. One would have thought that by
this time the American nation would
have fallen upon some original cos
tune for its navy In some way more
representative Of America.
In the early days of the British navy
II was still the custom to tie the hair
in q cue after well greasing it. but
much annoyance was felt by the men
In consequence of the oil getting on the
rough serge Of their jumpers or blouses.
This caused the blue collar Of the
same material as the jumper 10 be
added, but without much success. as
the collar looked quite as untidy. so at
length the idea Of putting the blue
drill one over the serge was adopted.
the drill collar being a separate APP
pendage and therefore easily washed
and kept clean. The lanyard was
worn to represent the ropes and rig
glng Of the ship, and the jackknife In
dicated that Ito be paradoxicaD the
bluejacket's object in life was death
to his enemy.
In those days the neck was exposed.
but as time went on and more thought
was given to the welfare OF the men
this was found to be injurious to the
health; hence the substitute Of the
white neck flannel, white being used
TO give the effect Of the uncovered
neck.
The two rows OF white braid at the
top of the cuff represent England and
Ireland. the one row at the bottom
showing that Scotland had not become
annexed. The rows Of braid on the
collar represent wholly and solely the
victories OF Nelson.
At the opening OF Lord Nelson's
grand career and his first great vic
tory at Aboukir the first row OF braid
was put on the collar. and Jack was a
proud and happy man. and he became
still prouder and happier when Abouklr
was followed by Nelson's greater vic
tory at Copenhagen, and the second row
was added. But he became the proud
est and happiest man and. alas. also
the most sOrrowful and grief stricken,
when that great hero and magnificent
example of naval courage lost his life
in his last victory at Trafalgar, and SO
the third row Of braid went on. but
there was no more to come after II. for
"the last pipe" had sounded for the
gallant sailor. his last fight fought. his
last victory won. To signify the
mourning which filed the hearts of all
English sailors the black scarf was
added. This was the origin OF the
British tar's uniform. which is both
historical and biographical and dear ia
the heart of all English people,-New

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceaslng Work Keeps u

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part OF this impure
matter is left in the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp-

nill laborers in Canada received 10
cents per hour as against 1871 for
American laborers.
He said that skilled laborers in the
Canadian mills had to be imported in
to Canada from the United States and
he declared that the wages paid such
skilled employees was equal to the
wages paid for a similar grade of
work in the United States. He also
testified that 80 per cent of the pulp
wood used in the Hudson River mill
comes from Canada. The present
force OF the Hudson River mill is 6'5
men, he said. and the capacity of the
plant is 240 per tons per day, the
