Tho E ceiling PosVs Wellington special says a wide difference of opinion prevails among observers in the senate wing of the capitol on the fate of the house silver bill when it reaches that quarter, but this is mostly in respect of details.

Pionre:s of I'rorrs.- A man stood iu a wilderness and saw the vision of a city imaged in its gloom; in tho rich soil beneath his feet ho saw the gleam of gold, the glitter of steel ores and uncouth blocks of iren: on the dashing streams he saw the mill-wheels turning and the mists that rose from the valleys and overhung the hills were transformed into the smoko of factories; the wind that rumbled through tho trees was to him the roar of railroads, where the live engines went whistling by; and from the will-o-wisps that reeled through the summer dark he fashion ed the electric lamps that were to give tho city light. In everything around him he found promises of progress and improvement, and so he drove his stakes and pitched his teut and went to work nnon the basis of his faith. Tho sound of his hammer, ringing m the wilderness; echoes of ni3 sturdy blows. a3 his sharp ax felled the trees and blazed the foundations of his city, wero heard afar and mon wero attracted by the sounds. They flocked around him; many scoffed and ridiculed, the solitary toiler, and wont their ways again, bnt a few re mained to sharo his folly or his fortune, they saw the city iu tho bright vision which had gladdened his sight, and they went bravely to work to help him build it Soon tho woods were cleared; little cottages nestled in the valleys, or dotted the green hills around; then, taller buildings fronted the rocky streets; the stream turned tho mill wheel; the roar of tho engines drowned the voice of tho winds as they glided over tho steel highways, freighted with tho fruits of toil; the blaze of iron furnaces shone like burning mountains in the night, and underneath the generous earth the miners delved and brought the treasures of tho dark to light; tho vis ion was at last n reality the city was built "Why She Got Mail.

Sarab Althea Gets Na SatUfac- tlam. Special to The Astokax.J Sax Francisco, June 10. Tka supreme court to-day rendered a de cision in the celebrated Sharon divorot case, reversing the decision of the lower conrt and remanding the cm with instructions that a motion far $6,600 alimony and $800 costs b denied. The decision of thesuprssm court is made on the groomd that the suit to declare the allagsd marriage contract void was begun in the TJ. S. circuit conrt previous to issuing by the superior court oftke order for alimony and costs, and that the marriage contract was sub quently declared void. This decision sets at rest all litiga tion growing out of the famous con tract of marriage that was alleged to have been made between the late Wil liam Sharon and Sarah Althea Hul, now Mrs. Terry. The supreme court in its deristom says that the finding of the Unttoi States circuit court, must be flaal with all courts. The circuit oowt found the agreement of marriage null and void, and without any agroem t there could have been no marriage, and without mar riage there could be no divorosv and as the judgment for alimony and costs could only accompany a aedrea of divorce, necessarily the order of the lower court, compelling the payment of alimony and costs from tha Sharon estate, is invalid. The decision expressly states that all state courts must regard the whole question as being finally and decisively settled. ELLENSRURG NOTES. New masonic Tenrale-New Galsl Klines.

He obtained from a brother celestial a return certificate issued by the British Columbia grr ernment, and then managed to be dis covered by a customs officer after dark and in a conspicuous way. John was immediately collared by the astute officer, and on being searched the British Columbia certifi cate found on him was assumed to be truth positive of the fact that he had been smuggled in from tins coast. The Chinaman would not "savee"- any English, and was kept until the Port Townsend authorities could be com municated with, and was then sent up by the revenue cutter Wolcott. On arriving at Port Townsend it was found that the Chinaman was one Tern Sen, a well known resident, and lie was reieasea, ne now smues piacwuj over the way he beat the United States government out of a trip from Pott Angeles to Port Townsend.
