SOUTH NORWALK, Conn., Juno 20. Judge John H. Light, member of tho Board of School Visitors, in an address before the Norwalk Town Teachers' Association on "The Psy chology of Teachers," urged the young women to spend an hour of study each day in tho development of personal magnetism, the same as they would tho study of any art. Primarily this was for tho pur pose of gaining the interest and the attention and tho love of their pu pils, ho said; secondly, it was not only to obtain a husband, but that the discipline might win a large num ber of suitors from whom a girl might select an afilnlty. Many girls had but one chance, ho said, and ac cepting tho ono they soon found they made a mistake. Judge Light said only one-fourth of the teachers married. If they had spent as much time in cultivating personal magnetism as they did in dressing their hair, he declared, three-fourths of them would be mar ried. BIDDER LOSES A HUSBAND. Offered S330, But Had Only $157 In Cash to Pay Rival. NEW YORK, Juno 20. Because Many Barna did not have enough money to buy Steve Gurlck, ho Is now the husband of another woman. Ho was married to Annie Markowiz by Judge Owen Mahon. Steve himself had little to do with it, except in the beginning. Steve had engaged him self to both, but Annlo had first claim. Mary offered her $157, all she had saved, but Annie said he was worth $350, and she would not sell him for a cent less. Then Mary said she would pay the $157 down to bind the bargain, and $3 a week until Steve was fully paid for, but again Annie refused. Mary took the mat ter into court on a charge of breach of promise, but the judge denied that Steve belonged to Annie, and that Mary had recognized the fact by try ing to buy him from her. So Steve and Annie were married, while Mary looked on but said nothing. PREPARE FOR ELECTION. Government Sends Troops to Panama to Maintain Peace. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 20.

HUME OF WEDDERBURN, CONTRIBUTES AN INTEREST ING ARTICLE ON THE RECENT CAMPAIGN AND TELLS WHY HE WAS DEFEATED FOR STATE SENATOR FROM COOS AND R. D. Hume, tho Rogue River sal mon king, is inclined to believe that Oregon is not yet ripo for clean poli tics. This conclusion was probably drawn from tho result of the recent election in which he was defeated for state senator from Coos and Curry counties. He made a clean cam paign, merely letting everyone know that he was a candidate and what his platform was. He did not make any particular campaign. Concerning his defeat and his views of Oregon politics, ho has writ ten rather lengthily as follows: "I wish to thank the few who sup ported me at the late election, that may have been laboring with the mistaken idea that the people of Coos and Curry considered matters con cerning legislation anything more than a joke, and desire to enlighten such of my friends who have not dis covered tho fact, if any there be, as to the causes which make such a state of public opinion possible. "As for myself, I had little con fidence In any successful result be ing obtained so far as my chances of election went, but being the last time that I could try the experiment I was curious to know what the re sult of a campaign made without per sonal effort or tho ordinary free ad juncts heretofore fashionable might be. The result shows that habits which have been of long standing be come second nature and though the community may bo strongly dry, the habit of being wet around election times is so ingrained in the average voter that ho cannot realize merit in anything elBe. "Tho majority of ancient Oregon- ians were always wanting to get something for nothing, free feeds, free drinks, free smokes, free rides, etc., and there aro some still remain ing among us, while their descend ants are imbued with the same spirit. Bourne, our highly respected senator to congress, understood this peculiar ity of Oregonlans to a nicety, but since moving to Washington has probably found a different sort of society and may bo somewhat unoc cupied until our Georgo arrives, when something will be doing in tho catering line. Oregonlans aro a pe culiar people. While they aro striv ing to keep tho main body dry they seem delighted to havo a wet head. "Preachers, printers and poets have shouted for a wet head, al though some of the samo aro suffer ing from a dry throat. (Noto the vote for U. S. senator.) While the radical of the lot are ready to take theirs by immersion, between these last and our George there is a bond of sympathy that nothing but a Sahara drought could dry up, and these form tho majority in Oregon oven if a portion of them do belong to tho church and keep tho jug be hind the door. A jug behind tho door is a great comfort to tho old soak who voted dry, as he finds ho can get bigger drinks for less money than from tho saloon, and can poso beforo the community as an emi nently temperate man and worthy citizen, whilo can go to bed drunk every night. "So much for the lack of "setting them up." Now wo will consider the other forces which militated against mo at tho late election. "Tho result has proven that tho people of this district havo no uso for thoso who have made tho devel opment of tho country in "which they livo possible, and that are content to bo led by tho boosters and knockers who, like weaving spiders, sit in the middle of tho web to haul Into their net tho unwary who come within reach. Theso "toll not, neither do they spin" anything but yarns to de ceive tho foolish or to destroy the good namo of thoso who aro active in tho creation of industries which furnish employment to thoso by whom they aro surrounded. Such parasites add nothing to tho wealth of tho world and furnish nothing for its betterment. Thoy give em ployment to none, but playing up on tho jealous tendencies of tho human mind, draw to themselves tho support of thoso who havo for gotten tho scriptural Injunction, "By their fruits yo shall know them," nnd uso such foolish ones to help themselves to such, good things as their capacity will onablo them to grasp. "Tho tolling masses aro kept at a fover heat by theso do nothing agi-1 tators whoso numbers aro great ana who, by magnified stories of tho wealth of a few individuals, lead the people to believe that the mon ey of the country is in the hands of tho few who consequentally are a menace to the prosperity of the nation, therefore any man who is do ing things to develop the section in which he lives, who pays his debts, is also an enemy of thoso whom ho employs. Tho1 idea being instilled in their minds that no man is honest that has made a success of life, they cannot understand how one could desire to represent them unless ho h some scheme to urge for his personal benefit. Therefore they expect to discount the graft by making such aspirant ante to every little grafter along tho route. This diseased con dition of the public mind, the germs of which have been handed down from the misty days of Oregon's past, has been Inoculated by the microbes that have generated in other portions of the Union, and tho public have be come so fertilized that an epidemic has resulted. When, however, Its course has been run tho laboring people will discover that it Is work, not wind pudding, that is most neces sary for their comfort and happiness, and that one man fof genius who is able to conceive and carry out devel opments that add to the wealth of the world for their benefit, is of moro worth to them though ho may swing millions than though tho same mil lions were divided among a lot of misers who havo no capacity beyond lending money at usurious rates, or a lot of boosters who aro trying to get something for nothing. The ef fort of these agitators tends to dis courage every man who has ambi tion and capacity to lead In the devel opment of the natural wealth of tho country and when ambition Is killed, mankind will degenerate to the con dition of savages. Money is tho most minute portion of the wealth of tho world, and were the idea which idiotic writers aro seeking to convey to the public mind correct, viz: Tho wealth of large operators represented by money alone, were the men of whom its possession is credited, to ceaso expending tho samo there would not bo a dollar in circulation in tho United States. The fact is the wealth of tho greatest capitalists finds investments In industries and developments which keep labor in motion to ndd still more profusely to the created wealth of our coun try. Tho man is nothing, tho en ergies ho represents Is everything, and one of administrative genius is worth more to tho laboring classes than millions of the hot air digesters who draw conclusions from false principles. "You may fool all the people some of tho time and some of tho people all of the time, but you cannot fool all tho people all of tho time.' And there is bound to como an awakening, but perhaps not until poverty Bhall havo brought many to where their eyes will be opened that they may see clearly. In conclusion will say to my friends that as Geo. E. Chamberlain has received the ma jority votes of tho people of Oregon believe it is tho proper thing to send him to Washington as senator, and my reasons for tho belief are first, tho state will he rid of him for a portion of his terra as governor, during which Incumbency ho has damaged tho resources of tho state moro than all his predecessors put to gether, and secondly that tho hypno tic spell which he has put upon a majority of Oregonlans may be broken by tho opportunity offered of measuring him when placed among tho representative men of tho nation. The field will bo largo and he won't bo able to claim everything in sight and will have to make good" R, D. HUME. ON NOVEL WEDDING TOURS. To Rldo to Conventions on Elupliauts and Mules.
