-" yw- jf-a- t ,f. i THE NEW AGE, PORTLAIND. OREGON. TOPICS OF TUB TIMES. Tho original "Little Lord Fnuntlp roy" Is n reporter on n Washington dally, lie cxpcctH to Inst at least Through Ono Administration. The Inventor of the telephone Is (lend, nnd If the man who Invented the "hiiHy" signal Htlll lives ho would do well to keep under cover If ho values his life. A Quebec man thinks he hns found n new routo to the north pole. Ills friends hope, however, thnt If ho enn bo kept perfectly quiet for n. whllo he may recover. A man from Oklahoma says thnt pep per Is tho great llfo preserver nnd far iiupcrlor to tho salt elixir. Now, will the advocate of mustard pleaso como forward. Tlicro nro nomo American citizens with souls so bnso that they can con template the troubles of the Asphalt Trust In Venezuela with perfect calm and uurullled repose. Young Vauderbllt settled $4,000,000 on his bride. By working tho bargain counter ads, the latter will doubtless be able to keep tip In pin money with out borrowing frequently of her hus band. A Texan man Is Indignant because Ids lliiucco deserted him on tho ovo of their appointed wedding day nnd mnr rled another. Homo men require tlmo to realize tho narrowness of their es capes. 15. Ii. fioilMn, ono of tho most emi nent Journalists of New York, says that tho election of n notoriously Ig norant, worthless or corrupt man to the Judicial bench, the Legislature, or the municipal council, makes more Im pression on n young mind than can bo counterbalanced by tho study of any manual of government, or by any course of lectin en on social reform de livered In high school or college. In pursuance of n gentlemanly polish the upper class men at West Point nev er slug each other. They pick out a light-weight freshman nnd pit him ngalust their most battle-scarred vet eran. It Is supposed to bo tho quintes sence of courtly conduct to hotter tho poor freshman Into Insensibility, nnd then nil him up with prunes nnd to tinnco sauce as a consolation prize. Tho West I'olnt standard of goutlemnnly condueg curious Htudy. Hut for tho bnuidjHit be tckcu (ur ycilov-uun 7T!Wentlon of a system of springs nnd weights to run machinery without conl, electricity or other inotlvo powtr will bo welcomed with nlacrlty In nil pnrts of the world, but especially In (Irent Urltnln, where tho price of coal Is rap Idly reaching tho prohibitive point. As the now system Is confessedly liable to lose power gradually by wear nnd tenr, or altogether by breakage or the slight est obstruction, It will bo unavnllnblo for a largo category of purposes now covered by conl, wood or electricity. Hut It will be n vast utility for many common objects. It Is true now, as It has always been, thnt there Is room to spare at tho top, while the bottom Is miserably crowd ed. This condition seems unavoidable, tho logical evolution of our complex social conditions, tho Inevltablo corol lary of the steadily, Intensifying strug gle for existence. The fact has been the same from the beginning. It hap pens, simply, that recent developments have emphasized It. The higher social organization has Its drawbacks as well ns Its advantages mid among the most conspicuous of these Is tho penalty It Imposes upon mediocrity nnd tho bur den with which It crushes helplessness. The ndvautnges that fall to tho lot of a man whosu surname occurs early In an alphebatlcnl list nro well known. Ah a candidate for otllco upon nu Aus tralian ballot, for example, a man named Abbott has n far better cliauco than the most eminent .welgler. Hut the benefit thnt comes from tho pos session of n short name Iiiih not here tofore been generally recognized. Not long ago the promotion of one of tho Auditors of tho Treasury Department nt Washington created a vacancy to which, upon n formal recommendation to thnt effect, tho candidate having tho tdinrtcst name, being also n competent inaii. wns appointed. Ills chief duty Is to nillx his signature to nccounts, and si ho needs to make but six letters In signing, he can do twice as much In u day as a man whoso namo contains twelve letters. Thomas A. KUsou, Iwlng recently usUetl If ho thought the twentieth cen tury would surpass the nineteenth In Invention and imrtlculurly In tho appll viWUm of ekctrlclty, promptly replied that It would, nnd then with character Istle modesty ailiknl thnt In tho tlrst place there were more to work, mul In the bevond they know mora to start with, "but nil the same, none of ua knows anything about anything," which Is his way of saying that until It Is detlultely settled what electricity Is v e are only on tho threshold of achieve ment. The opluloua of Mr, IMWon, who Is n practical man nnd has turned his numerous Inventions to commercial uses, are In sharp contrast with those of Mr. Tesla, a dreamer and an uupmc Ileal man, who, having settled all elec trical and Gcleutltlc affairs ou tul sk v I earth, U now aottllug those of Mora nlfro. With a few more Edlsona tho world would booh know considerable about most everything. Longest and most illustrious In the annals of (Jieat Hiltaln, Queen Vic 1 01 la's telgu is also the gieateut In many i expects. Since her accession to the throne In 1837 dlscoveiles, Inven tions, wuis and tho piogiess of civili zation have changed the whole curieut and tenor of model u history. .Scaicely a year of tho longest reign In English or modern history but was marked with some notable acquisition of territory, some remarkable discovery or Inven tion, or some epoch-making moral or In tellectual advance and lmpiovemeut. In tho matter of territory alone It Is BUf tlclent merely to mention tho annexa tion of Aden (1830), the Hindu (1843), tho 1'unjnb (1840), the Oude (1850), thu FIJI Islands (1874), Burma (1880) and Ashnntl (1800). In addition by treaty or purchase Hongkong was acquired In 1812, Pegu 1852, Sikh territory 1840, Cyprus 1878, purt of Samoa 1800 and the annexation of tho Transvaal and Orango Free State In 1000 tho latter, however, not yet nn nccompllsh'.'d fact. Even this vast acquirement of terri tory n almost every quatter of tho globo does not fully represent the growth of the Diltlsh empire during Victoria's reign. Assuming the rule of India In 1808 nnd accepting the title of empress of India, It became neces sary for Victoria to gunrd tho road to her eastern empire, nnd In addition to Gibraltar, Malta nnd Cyprus and tho control of the Suez cannl England prac tically extended Its rule over Egypt and tho Sudan. As a result of this vigorous world policy which under any other sovereign but England's gracious queen might sooner havo developed Into the lust of conquest which embit tered tho closing years of her life, there havo been many wars, tho year 1880 being tho ilrst Interval of peace during her long reign. Notwithstanding this remarkable facl. so well beloved wns Victoria nnd so well known her love of peace thnt her lelgn, viewed In retro spect, presents a sunny, smiling land scape, unfortunately overshadowed by disaster nnd war at Its close. In liter ature, also, It has been Victoria's good fortuno to give her name to nu era that stands second only to the mighty Eliza buiiian. Great poets, historians and artists found Inspiration In the pence loving queen nnd dedicated their no blest works to her praise. In science, also, n host of great names are en rolled on the Victorian page, and In statesmanship she saw the rise and passing of Lord John Itusscll, the earl of Derby, Lord Palmerston, Bright, Dis raeli nnd Gladstone statesmen who, In spired by Victoria, "held a fretful realm In awe" nnd mndo tho bonds of freedom wider yet. And through nil tho brilliant nnd groat events of her 'olgn Victoria stood tlrst In English i'"'JM u"u"""""1 '" """ :":""" nud whoso llfo wan serene In ItH con sciousness of devotion to tho public went.

Wife of one Governor nnd mother of nnother Is the uuhiuu distinction enjoy ed by Mrs. lllclmrd Yates of Illinois. Her sou, popularly known ax Dick Yaten, Is the hoc oud of that name to 1111 the guhcrmi' torlal chair of Illi nois.

Mrs, Yates again makes her home In tho executive mansion nt Sprlugtleld, where during the administration of her Illustrious husband In the dark days of the Civil War sho was tho hostess at many Important functions. After hbi two terms as Governor, Mr. Yates went to Washington as a Senator, and there Mra.'Yntes shone with equal brllllhncy In social circles. A Popular Woman.'' Many anecdotes of tho kindliness of tho i:mpresH of Germany are Iludlng their way Into the public prints. She was riding with a couple of attendants through tho vitiligo of llornlm, near Potsdam, recently, nnd pnsned tho vll Inge BchooltioiiBe, Up nt the windows went tho youngsters' faces nnd tho schoolmaster opened n window wide.
