policy of the military party In France to anticipate a conflict, and We must realize that that will now be the aim of the French military party. Happily the French officers are not all-poWerful in France and there is q strong civilian feeling in favor of peace
 The real danger is now, as al ways has been, that the general Flu rOpean strain may become intoler- able. France and Germany are little nearer together now than they were at the end of the Franco German war, and the recent indis- erection of the German emperor over Alsace-Lorraine must have revived the bitterest memories and perhaps fomented the most dangerous hopes in the minds of the French. AS long as the question of the annexed provinces remains in any way open that bitterness will continue a per il to mankind.

 AT POKER PARTY

NEW YORK, June 15. - Mrs. Ida Morrison, who has been on trial in the court of special sessions for sell ing liquor, which In this case was champagne, without license. waS convicted. The liquor was sold at poker party in Mrs. Morrison S flat in West Forty-ninth street, and sentence was suspended for one week to give the probation officer Mccartney, an opportunity to de. termine whether the house can be considered as having been a gamb ling establishment

SEATTLE. - With the death re gently in this city of Captain James Carroll there passed away not only one of the oldest and best known ship masters on the Pacific coast. but man who, as the first delegate 10 congress from Alaska, was a pioneer in directing attention to the resources of the Northland by an offer he made congress some years ago to purchase that territory for Sl4 100000.
 Captain Carroll was in the en- ploy of the Pacific Coast Steamship company for nearly a quarter of a century. He took the steamship Spokane on her first voyage to Alaska, and as commander of the Queen, which first took tourists to the Muir glacier, he became widely known throughout the East.
 Captain Carroll obtained his first experience aboard a ship on the Great Lakes. whence he went into ocean service on tne Atlantic coast, serving for a time aboard sailing ships. He came to the Pacific coast in 1867, entering the employ of the Pacific Mail Steamship company, at San Francisco. From 1867 to 1868 ha in rf C,l d. on the run to China Subsequently, he had command of various ships of i that company, running to Panama, among them the Montana, Constitu- tion and Sacramento.
 Leaving the Pacific Mail Steam ship company. he became interested with Ben Holiday, at that time one of the best known shipping men on the coast, in the old steamer Cali, fornia. and in command of this craft he made his first trip to Alaska in the early sos. the first master to | take a steamer into those waters. At that time Sitka and Wrangell were about the only settlements in Alaska, and the only ports at which the steamer called.
 Some years after Captain Carroll became master of the California Ben Holiday sold out to Goodall, Perkins & Co.,, this firms holdings later be- coming absorbed by the Pacific Coast Steamship company. After act. ing as master of several steamers of this company's fleet, Captain Car roll became master of the Queen, and was in command of that steam. ship for ten years.
 In 1897 he quit the sea to engage in business in Seattle, returning 8 years later at the request of the Pa cific Coast Steamship company, to

 steamer he commanded on her first
 run to Alaska.
 In 1891 he appeared before the committee on territories of congress. and urged that a territorial form of government be given Alaska. In an interview after his famous
 offer to buy Alaska. Captain Carroll said
 My offer to congress to purchase
 Alaska was bona fide. and made in good faith. went to Washington

CORN
By George Fitch

Corn is called king in good many states. but this is saving a great deal too much for the king business Kings are all right in their way. but no king has kept 30.000 GOO people fat and happy by his own unaided efforts. or has stuck to his job for 2+ hours a day through long hot summer. When a King dies his subjects drop q re- spectful tear and then send for the undertaker'G wagon and a goldsmith to cut down the crown to fit the next king. But when corn turns yellow and black and gray and ex- pires before the harvest. half a great nation mourns for a whole year and refuses to buy new clothes. and cuts off it's subscription to the local newspapers and votes against the administration with great firm. ness and biliousness.
 Corn is raised as a food by nil. lions of farmers. but Is not absorbed directly by the American people in any great quantities It is used largely 10 upholster hogs and cattle. A small red pig. if allowed to eat crib of corn. will produce enough ham and breakfast bacon to keep a family fat and financially busted for three months. and a thin COW with backbone like the ridgepoIe of a cathedral can so disguise her. self by eating corn for a few months that the packer will mistake her for silver mine and sell her for 40 cents a pound
