MUSIC IN THE NAMES.
Stevenson and the Tuneful NomencIa'
fura of This Countrv

Stevenson and the Tuneful NomencIa-
ture OF This Country.
To our house in Monterey Mr.. Ste
vensOn came often Of an afternoon to
read the results of his mornings work
to the assembled family. While we
sat in a circle, listening i'll apprecia-
tive silence, he nervously paced the
room, reading aloud in his full, sOnor-
GUS voice-a voice that always seemed
remarkable in so frail a man-his face
flushed and his manner rather embar-
raised, for, far from being overconfi-
dent about his work, he always seem
ed to feel sort of shy anxiety lest it
should not be up to the mark.
In this way we heard THE Pavilion
on the Links" which he wrote while
at Monterey and read to us chapter
by chapter as they came from his
pen. While there he began another
story which was to have been called
ARIZONA Breckenridge; or, a Vendetta
In the West" This story, with its
rather 1urid title, was to have been
based upon some of his impressions
Of western America, but his heart
could not have been in it, for it was
never finished.
The name Arizona came out Of his
intense delight in the 'songful, tune
fuP' nomenclature of the United
States, in which terms he refers to
it in 1.-THE Amateur Emigrant." The
name Susquehanna was a special JOY
to him, and he took pleasure in roll
ing it upon his tongue. adding to its
music with the rich tones of his voice
as he repeated it: "Susquehanna! Oh,
beautiful While on the train pass
ing through Pennsylvania he wrote
some verses about the beautiful river
with the ''tuneful" name in letter to
his friend, Sidney COlvin, of which
one stanZa runs thus:
think hope, 1 dream no more
The dreams of otherwhere,
The cherished thoughts of yore
have been changed from what was
before,
And drunk too deep perchance the lotus
of the air
Beside the Susquehanna and along the
Delaware.
Again, in writing the poem entitled
"Ticonderoga," 1t was the name that
first drew his attention, and
1t sang in his sleeping ears;
1t hummed in his waking head,
The narne-Ticonderoga

night one of T. f. Mackmiller' s
warehouses on the side track near
the sailing station was discovered
on fire, and before water could be

that was maintained in the building
to keep the temperature above the

Washington, July 19.-The text OF
the peace program, declaring against
a war OF conquest, which has been
formulated by majority of the Ger
man Reichstag for immediate consid-
GRAFTON by that body. was received in
Washington. The declaration follows:
"On AUG. Ia, 1914, the following
words were spoken from the throne: :
We are impelled by no thoughts OF
conquest.
''On this platform the German peo-
pie STAND today as they did when
the words we're spoken. Germany has
taken up arms only In the defense OF
her liberty ad independence and for
the protection of her territorial pos
sessions.
"The Reichstag aspires to a peace
by negotiations and perpetual rec
onciliation among nations. With q
peace such as this. all annexation by
force. and all political. industrial and
financial measures undertaken by vio-
lence are incompatible.
THE Reichstag disapproves all
plans which lead to empty isolation
and enmity among the peoples after
the war. The freedom of the seas
must be secured Only an industrial
peace will pave the way for friendly
intercourse among nations.
However. SO long as the enemys
government refuse peace on this
basis. SO long as they threaten Ger
har oil xptt at
and force of arms, just so long will
the German people stand together as
one man fighting and persevering
steadfastly until her own and her al
lies right to live and develop shall be
assured.
"In its unity the German people
stand unconquerable. The Reichstag
feels itself to be one with the men
who in battle have SO heroically
guarded the fronts. The imperishable
thanks of the entire people is their
portion"
London.-Russia's crisis has been
further complicated by a bold attempt
on the part of the Maximalists to kid
nap A. F. Kerensky, minister of war,
who is the moving spirit to inspire
the new Russia and is the swift and
deadly foe of the pro-German intrigue.
