1T is NO LONGER A REQUISITE TO
GET OUT AND HUSTLE VOTES
IN ELECTION.
Some of the Berths in Diplomatic Ser.
vice Are Good-Others Are in
Desolate Places.

! WASHINGTON, D. c., May 14.-It
was in the year 1906 that Theodore
Roosevelt, then president of the United
States, tore the consular service from
the clutching hands of the shrleking
politicians at the eastern terminus of
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington. d.
c. This made it possible for any ear
nest minded American citizen to obtain
berth in the consular service without
regard to his ability to get out and
hustle on election day or to deliver
some city ward by SO many votes.
Thus the consular service of this
land, for many years a jest to foreign
governments and an absolute business
loss to our great exporting interests,
fell into the guiding hands of the late
John Hay, then the cabinet premier
and into the hands of the civil service
examiners, whose business it is to poke
consular candidates in the ribs. ex-
anime their hair and teeth and ask
them involuted questions in foreign Ian
guages and convoluted problems in in
ternational politics.
In fact, passing into the consular SER
vice nowadays is a pretty good educa-
tlOnal guarantee. Our new consuls are
either university graduates or men who
could easily muster for such in any
assembly of Well-educated men. HSain,
in many cases the duties of the Ameri-
can consul, especially the youthful as
plrants for higher honorS, must per-
force accept posts where death turks
on every side from horrible fevers, the
plague, even leprosy and cholera.
So only men in first-class physical
condition are wanted by Uncle Sam,
as there are a dozen berths where the
American consul either dies in a few
years at his post or resigns and comes
home to die among the oil. folks-a vic
i'm to bad drainage and filthy habi-
tations which are found in some of the
outlandish countries they are compelled
to live in to further the export and i'm
port business to Americans.
1t should be understood that a con-
suls duties are unending both as to
hours of work and to various kinds of
things his fellow citizens visiting his
city may require of him, usually with
out pay, and very frequently without
so much as a word of thankfulneSs or
appreciation.
Take such out-O-the-Way spots of
the earth as Puente Arenos, away down
on the narrowing tail end of the South
American continent, just where Chile
tapers off into nothing at all. Then
consider Alden, Aragia, the hottest place
on the globe, civilized or otherwise,
where George NJ. Gordon, born in cold
and misty Scotland has to sleep all
summer in a cemented cellar in hourly
dread of heat apoplexy.
In these sorts of places the Ameri-

The two Millers from Fort Walla

and Webster is in a class by himself

one time. He now stands prepared to

LONG LAKE, May 14.-Long Lake
is fast becoming a popular summer re-
sort, and Seattle people are taking up
small tracts around the beautiful body
of water to be used for summer homes.
The latest improvement talong this line
is that to be made by M. F. Wight,
of Seattle, who owns the thirty acres
where the picturesque old mill used to
stand. He is to convert this in to a
park, removing the underground and
poor growth of trees and leaving the
finest timber and shrubs to enhance

ANY ONE CAN BE A
CONSUL FROM us,

! can consul is the whole United States,
! including the Army and Navy and the

| thorized and frequently compelled to
marry American citizens DESTROYS OF
| journeying into the state of matrimony
He buries and sees shipped back home
such unfortunate American citizens as
| die in his respective bailiwick and he
is also empowered to put such as need
the service through bankruptcy and
| deliver them clear of troublesome cred
itors
In fact, he is generally called on to
lend stranded Americans money, fur
nish them with some sort of clothing,
succor the sick, feed the hungry and
be a general and generous all-wise
providence to his Americans in
trouble in any one of the hundreds Of
isolated cities where the government
maintains a consulate and an Ameri-
can consul or vice consul.
Then, too, the consul, aside from his
business duties, has certain diplomatic
functions He has the right to shelter
American citizens in his consulate, and
where the American flag waves no po-
lice or soldiers or warrant for arrest
has any right to penetrate. OF course.
the consul is expected to use great dis
erection in taking the grave responsible
ity of holding at bay a whole foreign
government but he has that right, and

few years ago one youthful Amer
lean consul caused an American fleet

with the big guns loaded to the muz-
zles and the big white Warships cleared
for instant action. 1t was in Turkish
territory and the Turkish government

the sight of an American flag waving
from a fort prevented a bombardment.
Under the flag was found very pale
young American in white pith helmet.
He had wired home the wrong cable
word in the state department cipher,
and President Roosevelt was informed
that this American consul had been
foully murdered. The mistake was
cleared up by the supposed murdered
man in person. and the Warships, which
belonged TO the American Mediterra-
mean fleet, returned To- eieir cruising
grounds near Gibraltar.
What a Consul Is.
The technical distinction between the
consuls and the real diplomats VINO are
minister and ENJOYS extraordinary and
ambassadors is that the consul is &C
credited to the government of the coun-
try while the diplomats are sent per-
sonally to the ruler of the land, Wheth-
er an emperor, king, shan, emir or a
mere republican president. Consuls
get from $4,000 a year all the way to
Robert j. Wynne, former postal official,
who receives $4,000 year as consul
general at London.
Twelve thousand per annum is not
bad salary during these hard times, and
many patriots would no doubt giaoy
take the job. Yet it is absolutely true
that the state department is hard put

WOMAN'S DEATH
5AFFLES OFFICERS.
Mystery Surrounds Dsath-Body Ly-
ing Face Downward When Found.

NEW WESTMINSTER, b. c.,
May 14.-Lying face downward near
a clump of brush, with a branch of
tree laid over the dead the dead body
of an unidentified woman was dis
covered late yesterday afternoon in
Burnabay, near the corner of Sixth
street and Sixth avenue. Several bot
ties were scattered about in the vicin-
ity Of the remains, all of them empty
and failing to afford any reasonable
clew as to what their contents had
been.
Not far from the corpse, which had
plainly been exposed to the elements
for at least three or four months, there
were the remains of a small fire, and
when the ashes were scraped together
some small scraps of paper were dis
covered. and it is also believed that
the fire contained the charred rem
nants of the hat which the woman had
worn
Considerable mystery surrounds the
discovery of this body, and the proV1n-
cial police are not at all certain that
the death of the woman was caused by
her own hands. No person resident III
New Westminster or vicinity has been
reported missing during recent months,
and it is a certainty that the dead
woman was a stranger in that locality.
The body was neatly but not ex-
pensively dressed in blue knitted jer-
sey, a cloth skirt and black silk pet

clothes were badly torn in places, ana
as the material of which they were
composed was not badly rotted, there
is suspicion that the woman met

Midsummer Nights Dream with
Mendelssohn's music, at the Keylor
Grand theatre Wednesday evening,
