India. Major Hodson, with 100 men, was sent for the king and brought hlm back to Delhi. Next day he was sen' for the sons. He placed them in car. riage, but as they approached Delhl the crowd increased and became very threatening. Hodson saw that hls Ioo men would stand no show against thou sands of armed sepoys and he knew that if the princes escaped it would prolong the war indefinitely so he shot and killed the two. The people in England wanted to hang Hodson and probably would if he had ever gone home, but fortunately for him he was killed at the taking of Lucknow and IS buried at the Martiuiere. As the body was lowered into the grave old Sir Colin Campbell burst into tears.
 The kings fort or palace resembles in some respects that of Agra. It IS about 11a miles in circumference and is surrounded by high wall of red stone. It has been occupied by British soldiers for over fifty years and conse- ouently is not as it was when occupied by the Delhi kings. There are two large gates, the Lahore and the Delhi, each about 100 feet high. They are of red stone with beautiful designs, flow CTS, etc., made by inlaid marble of diff ferent colors. passed in by the La hore gate. It ha4 number of rooms now used by different officials. Here were murdered the chaplain and his daughter, some other ladies and some officials on the 11th of May, 1857. 1 then passed through an arcade nearly hundred feet high and thousand feet long. At the end of this Is tank beside which some fifty Europeans were murdered May 18th, 1857. After the tank comes the music room or band stand, a large two story building open on one side. Here the musicians played for the king. About two hundred feet away is the hall of public audience, open on three sides. It is also of red stone, roof is supported by inlaid stone pillars about six feet apart. Here all public cases were tried that were of sufficient importance to come before the king. Within hundred feet is the hall of private audience. This is smaller, has marble pillars beautifully carved and inIaid, with floor and ceil- ing of marble. The peacock throne was here. It was four by six feet, was pure gold studded with precious stones, as was the canopy covering it. On each side was a full sized peacock, body, tail and all being precious stones. Between them and behind throne was full sized parrot cut out of single emerald. The marble platform on which the throne stood is still there. This hall is a wonder. On each side there is an inscription in Persian which says: eff there is a paradise on earth it is here; it is here, it is here." do not imagine it was much of paradise for the poor unfortunates who were con- demned here. When poor old King Alan was blinded by Ghulam, the Afghan, who had just taken Delhi, he must have been struck by the absurdity of the inscription.

GRECIAN SKYROS MARBLE
FOUND IN STEVENS COUNTY

Spokane, May 14-Twenty varieties
of Grecian Skyros marble, which has a
commercial value of $50 cubic foot
were discovered by A. N. Jarman OF
San Jose, Cal, and w. M. Boileau, re
cording teller of the Traders National
Bank of Spokane, while exploring in
Stevens county, fifteen miles northeast
of Colville, a few days ago. Arrange
ments are now under way by which the
Washington Marble Company will ex
pend 100000 in developing the field
which contains 500 acres.
The Importance of the discovery, the
first find of highly-colored marble in
North America, becomes apparent
when it is known that more than $50,
100000 is expended annually for
marble used in the United States
alone.
Three of the largest veins have been
explored at depth, the colors ranging
from deep purple to pure white, with
other hues brownish gray and pale
gold. Sculptors say the white marble
is equal to, if not of better quality,
than the products of Greece or Italy,
for statuary. 1t is finer grain, imper-
vious to stain and moisture and not
affected by ink or oil or climatic con-
ditions.
Charles M. Fassett, president Of the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce, prob
ably the foremost chemist and metal
lurgist in the Pacific Northwest, de-
clares that the discovery is one Of the
most important on this continent in
recent years, adding that as there are
billions of cubic feet of marble in the
beds in Stevens county, this is new
resource of almost inestimable wealth.
The first stone quarried for building
purposes may enter into the construc-
ton of a home for the Spokane Chap
ter of the American Woman's League,
which has planned a structure to cost
$4,000. Jarman has sent letter to
Mrs John F. Davies, treasurer Of the
chapter, offering to furnish, free of
charge, all the saw blocks necessary
for exterior and interior use.

HARVEY w. SCOTT SEES
NEW PARTIES IN PROSPECT

Seattle, May IA sInopportune'' and
lin bad taste" is the manner in which
Harvey w Scott, editor of the Portland
Oregonian, characterizes Mayor Gay.
nor's attempt to discredit William Ran.
dolph Hearst at the banquet of the
American Publishers Association in
New York.
while the charges made by Mayor
GaynOr were probably true" said Mr..
Scott, "yet it must be remembered that
Mayor Gaynor was guest at ban
quet at which Mr.. Hearst was one of
the hosts, and good taste would have
dictated silence in the matter of per-
sonalities.
Mr.. Scott is visiting Seattle on his
return from the East. Asked his opin-
ion on the comparative population of
Portland and Seattle, Mr.. Scott said:
Comedies Seattle's Greatness.
II have for long time conceded that
Seattle had more people than Port
land. expect the census to show that
Portland has population Of about
100000 and Seattle 225,OOO."
Mr.. Scott can see nothing but rocks
ahead for the Republican party in the
next congressional election.
Expects New Parties TO Rise.
Mr.. Scott said that the two leading
parties stood for practically the same
thing, and that the ranks Of the Dem
ocrats we're as widely split over Ques-
tions OF public policy as those Of the
Republicans. He said it wouldn't sur
prise him if two new parties formed
the conservative and liberal, the in
surgent Republicans and Democrats
afiiliating with the liberals, and the old
guard Of both old parties joining the
conservatives.

political-military career. Augustus &c
qlired . huge fortune BY plumber.
What q contrast Is offered BY the CO.
reers Of washington and Lincoln! The
immense majority Of the Greeks and
the Romans accepted money making
on large scale as one Of the Incl.
dents of q successful public career In
this respect the standard has been
constantly elevated, and things which
Statesmen had no hesitation in doing
three or two centuries ago, and which
did not seriously hurt public career
even century ago, are now utterly
impossible.
wealthy men still exercise large
and sometimes an improper influence
in politics, but it is apt to be an in
direct influence; and in the advanced
states the mere suspicion that the
wealth Of public men is obtained or
added to as an incident OF their pub
lie careers will bar them from public
life. Speaking generally, wealth may
very greatly influence modern political
life, but it is not acquired In political
life.
IT have dwelt on these points mere
ly because it is well to emphasize in
the most emphatic fashion the fact
that in many respects there is a com.
plete lack of analogy between the civil.
lization Of today and the only other
civilization in any way comparable to
it. There are, of course, many points
in which the analogy is close, and in
some of these points the resemblances
are as ominous as they are striking,
But most striking of all is the fact
that in point OF physical extent, OF
wide diversity of interest, and Of ex.
treme velocity OF movement, the pres
ent citivilization can be compared to
nothing that has gone before.
Hitherto every civilization that has
arisen has been able to develop only q
comparatively few activities. It's field
Of endeavor has been limited in kind
as well as locality. Such peoples as
the Mongols and Phoenicians have rep.
resented movements in which one ele.
ment, military or commercial, SO over
Swallowed all other elements that the
movement died out chiefly because it
was one-sided. The Greek civiliza
ton fell because its many-sided de-
velopment became too exclusively one
of intellect, at the expense Of charac-
ter. When the Greek lost the sterner
virtues, when his soldiers lost the
fighting edge, and his statesmen grew
corrupt, while the people became fac
tion-torn and pleasure-loving rabble
then the doom of Greece was at hand
what is the lesson for us today
Are we to go the way of the older civil
lizations? We cannot be certain that
the answer will be in the negative; but
of this we can be certain, that we shall
not go down in ruin unless we deserve
and earn our end. There is no neces-
sity for us to fall"
