EuIogy On Grass.

''Grass is the forgiveness of nature-her
constant benediction. Fields trampled
with battle, saturated with blood, torn
with ruts of cannon, grow green again
with grass, and carnage is forgotten.
Streets abandoned by traffic become grass
grown like rural lanes, and obliterated.
Forests decay. harvests perish. flowers
vanish, but grass is immortal. Beleag-
uered by the seven hosts of winter, it
wifhdraws into the impregnable fortresses
of its subterraeAn vitality and energies
upon the first solicitation of spring. Sown
by the winds, by the subtle horticulture
of the elements which are its ministers
and servants, it softens the nude outline
of the world. It's tenacious 6bers hold
the earth in its place and prevent its sol
uble components from washing into the
wasting sea. 1t invades the solitudes of
the desert, climbs the inaccessible slopes
and forbiddiug pinnacles of mountains,
modifies climates and determines the his
tory, character and destiny of nations.
Unobtrusive and patient, it has immortal
vigor aud aggression. Banished from the
thoroughfare and the field, it bides its
time to return. and when vigilance is re-
Taxed, or the dynasty has persisted. it
silently resumes the throne from which
it has been expelled, but which it never
abdicates. It bears no blazonary of
bloom to charm the senses with fragrance
or splendor, but its homely hue is more
enchanting than the lily or the rose. It
yields no fruit in earth or air, and yet,
should its harvest fail for single year,
famine would depopulate the world. -

"A Locust Year.

This is the year that the I7-year locust
is due again, and in few weeks he will
make his appearance on the farms of the
Middle West. At least the authorities
on locust lore and superstition are sure he
will, and they have never been mistaken
in the past. No one seems to know ex-
actly where the seventeen-year locust
comes from, but it is matter of record
that he does show up regularly just the
same.
And the thing that is interesting the
farmers and the oldtimers most is whether
he will bring "W'' on his wings or a
ssP, +" as is hoped. "W'' on seventeen
year locust's wings means war There is
no reason under the sun that is known as
to why it should be always either "W'' or
"P,' but those are the only two. letters
that have been noticed. And also the
locust lore experts have good bit OF
statistical backing when they assert that
if the "W" is on the wings it will surely
mean war, and il the s'P' is on the wings
it will just as surely mean peace.
I'm 1898, the last time the locusts
were here" said an old commercial
traveller the other day, "the wings bore a
decided W. And we promptly got into
the war with Spain. In 1876 saw the
Up" on the wings myself. And follow
ing that we had peaceand plenty. don't
remember SO far back as 1859, that is to
say, don't remember locusts back in
those days, but I have been told by scores
of old farmers that the seventeen-year
kind showed up that year and bore wv
on each wing. The Civil War followed. .

What the June Woman's Home
Companion Contains.

The first Of the summer numbers
of this remarkable woman's maya.
zine has reached beyond its own
high standard in interest, variety
and practical material. The cover,
a Dutch girl painted by r. Ford
Harper, is pleasure in itself, and
the illustrations throughout are the
work of some of our best artists.
The fictiop~is from the pens of
leading writer's: A new romance
by Grace S. Richmond begins in this
June number. "The House of
Healing" by Juliet Wilbor Tomp-
kins, is still going merrily along,
and such popular writer's as Alice
Brown, Annie Hamilton Donnell,
Mary Hastings, Hubert Footner
and Fannie Heaslip Lea are repre-,
sented by short stories, which for
charm, feeling and a delicate sense
of humor are in a class by them
selves.
June is month in which so many
important events happen that the
comprehensive woman's magazine
must be unusually full of interest
ing articles. The June number of
the WoMAN's HOME COMPANION
includes "Wedding Gifts That Are
Different ga Novel Graduation
Program, /" "When You Graduate, y
ga Vacation Trip to Europe etc.
Kate v. Saint Maur contributes
another of her practical articles this
month on strawberry culture, and
the love song, "You're Worth All
the World to Me,v by Alfred G..
Robyn, is just the right thing to
Sing on summer evenings. IN
usually carefully selected fashions
are shown this month by Grace
Margaret Gould, with an eye par
ticularly to the needs of the girl
graduate.
The special departments are filled
with timely and good advice on
many subjects, and the younger
readers of the Woman's Home
Companion find in the June number
almost a small magazine for them
selves. Among the offerings in the
children's department is a letter
from Selma Lagerlof, the author of
that now famous fairy story, "The
Adventures of Nils"

Representative Covington, Of the First
Maryland District in his maiden speech
during the present Congress, on Saturday
went after Wickersham, President Taft's
trustsowned Attorney General, showing
how that official has betrayed the Govern
ment, whose interests he is supposed TO
protect.
II was charged by Mr.. Covington that
the law firm with which the Attorney
General was formerly connected repre-
scented the Sugar Trust in its negotiations
for the friar lands, and that this fact
must have been known to Mr.. Wicker
sham at the time he gave his opinion by
which the Trust secured possession Of
this valuable property.
II was further charged by Mr.. Coving.
ton that the date of the Wickersham
opinion indicates that the Sugar Trust
knew II was to get the lands before the
opinion was actually delivered. Some
time before the Attorney General acted,
Mr.. Coviugton charged, the Trust was at
work building railroads into the property.
Concluding, the Marylander said the
Sugar Trust is the greatest criminal
known In American industrial history"

MaryIander's Kick Against presi-
dents Appointments.

It is stated Maryland has the reputation,
likewise the record, of opposing more
combinations of Federal appointments
than any other State. At any rate. this
applies to the present Administration and
Congress. To have one Federal nomi-
nation protested is an average record for
most States, but Maryland people have
fled charges against nearly half of the
appoiutees of President Taft. They have
not been coutent merely to present for.
NAL charges. These charges are prose.
cuted with vigor. That is the part which
surprises the Senate committeeman who
are called upon to consider them.
First, there was strong opposition to
the feappointment of Postmaster W. Hall
Harris, Of Baltimore. This manifested
itself before the President actually sent
in the nomination, but the fight was moi
carried TO the Senate.
After this came the charges, formal and
informal, against the reappointment oil
Collector of the Port William F. Stone.
His political enemies succeeded in. having
his nomination withdrawn and recon.
sidered. Then, after it was sent in a
second time, the Senate Commerce Com.
mittee was appealed to to hold up the
nomination. This failed.
Then there developed strong opposition
to the appointment of Capt. John Philip
Hill as United States District Attorney to
succeed John c. Rose, himself elevated
to the Federal bench. A tireless effort
was made to have the Senate Judiciary
Committee hold up this nomination, but
this also failed.
On top Of all this has come the protest
against the confirmation of George w.
Padgett to be United States Marshall in
the place Of John F. LangEammer This
protest is no less vigorous than those
which have gone before. The outcome.
hoWever. IS still in doubt.

Preparations are being made for ntiliza-
ton of the current of the Susquehanna
Waterand Power Company. The, dam of
this plant, which will supply daily 1885,
900 horsepower, most Of which will come
to Baltimore, is nearly completed. Those
backing the project say the current will be
available in September.
The water flow of the Susquehanna
where this dam is located is said to be ex-
Icel1ed on the Atlantic coast only by that
of the St. Lawrence river in Canada.

INSURGENTS DECLINE
TO BECOME DEMOCRATS

Washington, April 30.-"Are the in
surgents in earnest or have they just
been flirting and coquetting with us?
Senator Rayner, Of Maryland, in
mock seriousness, asked this question
and others even more pointed in a
speech delivered in the senate today
on the administration railroad bill. He
said that the Democrats wanted no
more combinations with the insur-
gents on preliminary skirmishes, but
that the recalcitrant Republicans
would be welcomed into Democratic
ranks if they only would enlist and
take their feelings with them.
Pointing out that on almost all pre-
liminary moves, on various measures
before the present congress, the in
surgents and Democrats have stood
together, Mr.. Rayner said that when
the final vote is taken upon the bill
they seem leisurely to stray away
from U.S."
Senator Dolliver, replying, declined
the offer.

PORTLAND CANAL DISTRICT
TO BE FULLY EXPLOITED

Seattle, April 30.-A special dis
patch to the Post-Intelligencer from
Vancouver, B. c., says:
The proposed mining operations of
Donald D. Mann, vice president of the
Canadian Northern railway, and his
associates in the Portland canal dis
trict, will be carried out on a scale
of magnitude unparalleled in the his
tory of lode mining in British Co
lumbia.
1t was announced today that thus
far ninety mineral claims have been
bonded, the latest acquisition being
groups at Maple Bay and Goose Bay.
in the same district.
The various properties comprise
straight smelling and concentrating
ores, the values being in nearly every
kind of metal, chiefly gold, copper,
silver and lead.
1t is not expected that all the claims
will make good" but wherever there
is chance of making a mine. devel-
opment work will be maintained and
payments on the bonds continued. In
so large number, many of which
have not even been carefully exam
ined, there is bound to exist the usual
percentage of wildcats"
Ownership in the bonds or options
will be vested in new corporation re-
Gently Incorporated at Toronto, and
styled the Pacific Coast Mining & De
velopment company. The mining OBJ
erations of the company in the north
will be under the direction Of H. E.
Knobel, IN. E., who personally exam
ined many of the properties last fall.
Mr.. Knobel stated today that he ex-
poets to. give employment to many
hundreds of miners just as soon as
the snow leaves the ground This will
probably mean the beginning of June,
for the claims are located in the high
attitudes inland from Stewart.
Hard to Secure Labor.
The problem of securing labor is re-
garded as no easy one, as most of the
working miners on the coast usually
prefer to spend the summers at pros
pecting on their own account. Under
these circumstances, Mr.. Knobel has
already made arrangements to secure
a considerable number of men from
Cobalt and other camps in New On
tario. Rossland and other Kootenay
camps will also likely be called upon
to contribute their quota.
Mr.. Knobel will leave tomorrow
night on the steamer Kamosun for
Stewart. He will be accompanied by
H. A. Grant, who will have charge of
the construction of the proposed 20
mile railway to be built from tide
water at Stewart to the various min
ing camps, and two surveying parties
of about eighteen men each.
While one party is getting ready
the preliminaries for building the
docks, the other will be occupied in
locating the railway.
Mr.. Knobel expects to have the line
completed and in operation early next
fall, thus enabling property owners to
work their properties throughout the
winter months.

AM TYPE+Patents- Galley TWO
reau of American Republics-within a
stones throw of the White House

representative of the Latin-American
republics, in prOphesies OF peace

the family of peaceful American re-
publics.
President Taft called out general
laughter by referring to the contro-
yersy between Theodore Roosevelt
and Mr.. Carnegie two years ago at
the laying of the cornerstone OF the
building dedicated today.
"They differed as to the methods by
which peace should be obtained SAID
the president, "but that both were
earnest and strenuous and determined
to have peace there was no doubt.

gle as the laughter died away.

The new building, gift of Mr.. Car
neqie. won the admiration OF all VINO
passed within the bronze portals this
afternoon and at the reception in the
evening. at which President Taft and
Mr.. Carnegie headed the receiving
party.
II esteem it great honor to the

president, at the dedicatory exercises
"that the other twenty American re
publics should decide this home OF IN
