The report that the poet Swinburne
left an estate worth 100000, has led
to the following compilatio indicating
the financial status of other famous Eng
fish poets at the time of their death
Lord Tennyson, $685., 900; Robert Brown
ing, $4,000; Matthew Arnold, $4,000;
Frederick Locker Lampson, $4,000;
Coventry Patmore, $40, 1000; William
Morris, $215,000. Morris was a manu-
facturer of wall paper and house furnish
ings. He made his money not by his
poetry but in trade. Matthew Arnold
was in receipt of salary as an inspector
of national schools. The others, includ
ing Swinburne, inherited comfortable
fortunes. Tennyson, however, had n
large income from his copyrights. 1t
paid him financially to be poet Yet
he did not permit his writing to be in
tiuenced by the problems of the market.
He wrote as he felt and thought, and
was shrewd enough to take advantage
of the fact that publishers were cage:
to buy what he had to sell.

The increase of taxation in Great Brit
ain is creating hard times in high cir
cles. Lord Exeter has been obliged to
give up his pack Of foxhounds in Lin
colnshire, ON account of the financial
strain on his income involved in the new
budget. A London dispatch says:
His Lordship will be affected particularly
by the land tax. He has a big park, near
Stamford, which is so free to the public
that it is practically a public park. This
will now be taxed as undeveloped land. To
make up for the extra taxes he will have to
pay, Lord Exeter has written to various in
stitutions advising them that the subscrip-
ton he has previously contributed will be
duced by one-haf.
So not only sports but also charity will
feel the pinch. The situation caused by
the heavy expenditures to which the
present ministry has committed the
English government is very tense. Yet
there is still a hoarse demand for more
Dreadnoughts. The craze will pass
away. 1t will cost money and sacrifice
comfort while it last.

The lure of the polar regions strong,
and when men become explorers in them
they are generally impelled to renew eff
fort so long as they are physically fit
for the trying tasks that must be per-
formed in the achievement of results.
Commander Peary has made repeated
dashes toward the north pole, and at
each return has coupled greetings to his
friends at home with declarations of re-
newed purpose. Lieut.. Shackleton, who
planted the British flag promisingly
close to the south pole, said in acknowl-
edging greetings in London; IF it shall
be my fortune before long to go south
again, shall have men willing to serve
under me-" 1t may be relied upon that
the Lieutenant will go south again, and
that the British flag will go to the pole,
as experience is great teacher III polar
exploration as in other fields of effort.

The Arctic Club of America has at
last concluded to contribute $1,000 to
the expedition which is to go north to
meet Commander Peary, on his return
from a polar dash next fall, with the
understanding that the money will be
spent to prosecute inquiry along the
way for DIR. Frederick Cook, who has
not been heard from for a period of
more than a year. This is the most
that can be done under the circum-
stances. There is some likelihood that
Peary has picked up Cook on his jour
ney toward the pole, and in this event
there will be two reports to interest
the worlds geographers-pres that
Peary has survived his perilous journey.
If Peary comes back without DIR. Cook
there will doubtless be a special expe-
dition next year, to follow the course
the Doctor took on the way into the icy
solicitude.

WARNER WILL
CASE DRAGS
SEVERAL NEW WITNESSES
HAVE BEEN EXAMINED
County Officials and Local People
Called TO Stand-Evidence Only
Gives Emphasis to What is Already
Known-Testimony is Taken Re-
garding Hand Writing and the Char
acter of S. V. Knox.

With snale-like rapidity the War
dragging on at the court house. Lit
tie new evidence is being introduced,
the witnesses beng examined now are
simply repeating the stories which
have already been told and adding
emphasis to what has gone before.
Among the witnesses examined to-
day were Joe H. Parkes, justice of
the peace; Attorney Charles H. Car
, ter. Attorney Peter West, County
Clerk Sailing and Mr.. and Mrs. Mein-
ers. Parkes and West testified re-
garding the making of the settlement
between Young and Mabel Warmers
mother at the time they separated.
Carter identified will which
showed that James w. Young was in
Pendleton, Nov. q, 1898, the day he
is supposed to have written the will,
while Sailing testified regarding the
hand writing and the character of S.
V. Knox.
Mr.. and Mrs. Meiners were living on
Young's farm at about the time the
will is supposed to have been written.
which is also about the same time the
settlement was made between Young
and his divorced wife, Mrs. Warmers
mother. Mr.. and Mrs. Meiners both
declared that Young said upon his ar
rival home that he was through with
the whole outfit, referring to Mrs.
Warner and her mother. They also
declare that the only time Mrs. War
ner ever worked for Young, she sued
him for her wages. This is interest
ing, If true, from the fact that one of
Mrs. Warmers claims is that she was
to be given his property for having
lived with him, worked for him, and
taken care of his home.
Will Jameson and other witnesses
examined yesterday afternoon de-
clared that Knox's reputation for
truth and veracity was not good and
also that the Young's signature to the
alleged will is not genuine.

entertainment of the Chicago busi-
ness mems party was undoubtedly the
largest and most successful event OF

the local association, had met the
party in Walla Walla and introduced
the men to the local people at the
depot The autos were then filled
and the start homeward made.
After leaving Athena each auto fol-
lowed course of its own. so as to
avoid dust, and the trip was a very
pleasant one. After a detour through
the wheat country each auto headed
for Pendleton and the last of them
reached the city just in time for the
occupants to catch the train at 8
o'clock.

PORTLAND PORCH CLIMBERS
ROB SEVERAL HOMES

Portland.-Porch climbers raided
the residence of w. S. Miller at $50
East Seventeenth north early Tuesday
evening and made off with property to
the value of about $3.50. The same
burglars presumably broke into the
Curry residence next door to that of
Mr.. Miller and ransacked the house.
Both the Miller and Curry families
were on the west side taking in the
Rose Festival when the burglars made
their raid.
When Mr.. Miller returned home
about II o'clock he found everything
in the house turned topsy-turvy, and
while not having checked up his loss
has so far missed valuables worth be-
tween 5000 and 5000, which consist
ed for the most part of watches, rings,
silverware, souvenir coins and sever
al dollars in silver. Mr.. Miller also
found he had lost two medals won
By him when at college, Considerable
money that had been kept in the house
was banked yesterday afternoon. A
valuable lot of solid silverware was
overlooked by the burglars, although
a number of pieces that were scattered
around the house are missing.
Immediately upon returning home
last night Mr.. Miller reported the
robbery to police headquarters, but 1t
was fully an hour and half before
an officer responded to the call.
Every indication points to the fact
that the burglars climbed up the front
porch and entered the house through
the second story windows, as the
whole lower floor was locked and no
evidence was found Of their breaking
in. =
Entrance to the Curry residence was
made by breaking in the kitchen
door.
