There Is somethlngpaihetle In the story of the decllnliyears say, rath, er, the declining: days, oLXleneral Caa- tlMS Marcellus Clay, of Kentucky. .jr!y J year's of age, on the verge ef the grave, the closing days of his life have surely been full of trouble. General Clay was known before the .Civil war as. an opponent of .slavery. That of Itsetf, he bel a Southern mart, mould have been sufficient to attract attention to him During the war be was the American Minister to Russia, as he was for some years after the close of that struggle. ; Readers of history of that time will recall that there was danger once that England would give more than passive aid to the Confederacy. It was. the threat that Russia Would take an active hand in the matter, and on the other side, which prevented it. . For that General teUy is said to have been entitled to thanks. . ' ' ' '"' ' ' ' . - From the end of his diplomatic ca reer until within a few years, the Gen eral was little heard of. ' But for his iv-irrtage to a young girl a mere child he night hare passed the rest of his life at his country place at Whitehall, t tr. Jlicfamond, Kentucky, and the thmrfs are that he would not have t "n heard of until bis obituary was rrfnt1. , Tbt marriage brought him irto prominence., His family opposed it r rfnp but for that he would have lr frrX ;t sooner than he Hid. : Just l ow the reparation came about Is not rlfr Just now, nor is It especially per ' tirenL The ex-wife, Dora Clay Brock. . r w woman, is reported as about to '"'''f vpon a stage career. Presumably rht ul ue the General's name It may l.'-;j tK- box receipts, though we be ive rhe marrted another man after I n ins Clay, and that this other man i us ince ded; and thai she declares will now stay with Clay.' The li'.trr decision is evidently a preUra inary tc her stage career. ,:V Within the UH few days the Gen errs children by his first marriage m. st cf them past middle age now Pi rHp l to- Uie Court to have 1 their f .-.ther's affairs placed In the hands of a E'.iftnlUrt. A Jury summoned to pass i the matter. found that he was In- ' re r ,i that some one should be des- p 1 to ok ofter hi. financial af f 'rv- Gnrl Clay was Informed of tr- contemplated Inquiry, but' too no f i s t i fght the proceedings. He merely announced ; that he Would not leave TVhitclIair-allve-'vntli . man like Caasius M. Clay that means much. The chances are that those Interested In the Insanity ": proceedings . will ? be content to let him end his days where he Is now. The decree declaring him mentally Incompetent will operate to prevent any disposition of his property that would shut out his relatives. - It s - an .very sad and It's all very unfortunate, that the end of a life which has been distinguished by much of usefulness should be clouded by these bickerings and by the taint of an official declaration of insanity.

A4nria. Lowell ituaa. Peculiar changes have come about and are likely to be made on account of the discovery of oil In California. and the development of the oil fields, of that state. ; The San Francisco Call thinks It has a chance to lajr It over" the Seattle papers on this account, and It proceeds to do so in the following ."Teh shipment of California fuel oil for use on the Taon river steamboats has begun. The Northern Commercial Company has 21,000 barrels of it now on the way. Oil stations are to be erected on the river between St. Mich ael and Dawson City, from which 'the steamboats will draw their sup pry. The company's tugs at St. Michael, have also had their furnaces converted Into oil burners. ? The manager of the cor po rat Ion Is looking over the Klondike for -a.f new market for California fuel oil, whose cheapness and ease; of trans portation corrrmend It for use In the mines of that district. 1 ' -t "The opening of this new market for California's fuel oil Is one of the most interesting and suggestive of all the de velopments yet made In the industry. The state of Washington has prided Itself considerably In the past: over the possessed of extensive and Inexhausti ble supplies of coal. and.'before the oil fields of Kern county were ppened, the poverty of California in the matter of a natural supply of cheap fuel, and the abundance of the resources of Wash ington in that respect, constituted a favorite theme for discussion in the Puget Sound papers. Now conditions have, changed. This state is no rich er in 'coal than it was before, but we finitely superior in every respect and withal vastly cheaper. And; the mar velous exhibition is now in evidence of a flotilla carrying California's cheap fuel oil past the Coal ports of Wash ington 'into a far northern market which cannot be invaded by! the black diamonds of the latter state.. The ad vantage in fuel supply at home and abroad Is 'most decidedly on Calif or nia's ,aide at present.'wtth every pros pect of Its remaining there. "California fuel oil will prove a great boon to the Far North. The timber belt adjacent to the Upper Yukon river has been exhausted. Th cal measures of ,the Upper Tuon are diffi cult to mine and more difficult to util ize because all the moisture contain ed In them-Is frozen and the product must be put through a special treat ment j to make it combustible. Fuel 1 . - - oil Is so compact and so easily trans ported, stored and handled that it can doubtless be delivered anywhere on the river; or in the Klondiki district at a leas cost than any other fuel available." Paul DuChaillu.may be said to have exactly discharged the .trust imposed upon him. lie was an explorer, by profession, a hd many learned societies contributed to his expense account. He traveled and observed with careful eye, and wrote very entertainingly. At the end of a- long life he had accumu lated but $500. It is true he had no relatives to whom to leave a fortune. but this lack does not deter others from seeking money reward for their efforts. DuchalUu seems, however, not to have cared for his own advantage. He spent all that came, to him and for the pur pose for which it was subscribed. THOMAS C PLATT AT. SEVENTY. have found In the formations here 'an Inexhaustible fuel supply which is in-tjt .DUt he recognized the drift Last Wednesday, July 15. was -the seventieth: anniversary of the birth of Senator Thomas C PlatL of New York, the leader of the Republican, party In that state. Seventy is pretty good age. but when a man is In the fullness of his power and in possession of his health and- -mental faculties, years count not. 'Gladstone was actiyer when away and afar past, seventy hot that there Is any intention of classing -together the English statesntan and the American politician In any other sense than that both , have' occupied promi nent places in public life. , .Just now he doesn't seem to feel that age calls on him to quit and give way to young er men far from ', ;At seventy be seems to have a firmer grip on things than be bad when be was around about fifty. ... i.'H'i: ' N In fact, going back over Senator Piatt's public career, there were few men twenty-two years ago who would have ventured to pridict for him the present commanding position he olds fn New oVk's politics, if That, long ago he was a Senator for . New York. In the quarrel between President Garfield and Roscoe Conkling. the latter resign ed his seat in the United- States Senate. So did .Piatt, not because be wanted to, especially, but. because Conkling did. This gained him the title of "Me Too Piatt. Conkling and he appealed to the New York Legislature- for re-election for a vindication, in fact. They didn't get It. Even out of the Senate Conk ling was too big- a man to be entirely lost sight of. H's enemies in his own party beard of him to their sorrow 'in the Blaine-Cleveland election of 1884. Not so with Piatt. He dropped quite out of sight and he stayed out for a long time. But while be had in him nothing of the statesman, he possassed what, ; for present-day purpose, la much more useful political tact' and ability to organize. Slowly but surely he fastened his grip on the Republican party machine In New York. It has never been relaxed. ' When Roosevelt was nominated for Governor of .New York on the crest of the wave of popu lar excitement growing out of the Spanish-American war, people predict ed the end of; Piatt's rule in the Em pire State. Well, the end didn't come then. I Piatt may not have wanted of public sentiment. and he. made no fight. ; Moreover, when the Roosevelt administration at Albany ended.. Piatt was still holding his own. They say that Piatt made Roosevelt Vice Presi dent irr order to bury him, and thereby placed , him in the White House: As President Rcosevelt, either fflom lack of the power or the absence of desire, does not seem to have caused any ap preciable diminution, of -Piatt's power in New York. . ; : Then, too, there was Governor Odell, a man of much force of character. He and Piatt were known not to be in full accord on many things, and the wise ones again foresaw the downfall of the senior Senator for New York. - Piatt hasn't shown any signs of decline, not that anybody has noticed. In the ver nacular of the day he is, now and ev ery time, "there : with the goods. ; And at three score and ten it looks as If he meant to keep on being there for a good many years. , ; , SOME TAKE IT TOO' SERIOUSLY. i A . husband in San Francisco Is trying to prove in the courts that the affections of an unfaithful wife are worth $25,000 to him, which leads the Call; to remark that It Is strange how some things attain a value only after they have become worthless. .

' A story now comes from Denver which seems to throw much doubt on the report of his death. Either Mr. Mulhattan is sUll living and In the full possession of his inventive faculties ,or some' other liar just as good Is filling his shoes. Or, If neither of these hypotheses is correct. "Professor Schoonmaker" the man who purposes to tap the heavens for elec tricity Is the looniest Scientist at large. ;- According to a report in the Anacon da Standard, Schoonmaker says he will plant a cannon-vertically on the sum mit of Pike's, Peak, and from It will fire a spherical iron magnet. Attached to the magnet will be twenty or thirty miles of wire,. which will pay out as the magnet rises In the air. Schoonmaker calculates that before the wire Is all paid out the magnet will have risen be yond the limit at which gravitation to ward the earth Is effective. He also calculates that the snagnet will stop in an unlimited supply of electricity, and that he will thus be able to tap the in terplanetary space for enough electri city to run the machinery in all the country for all time to come. With a gravity and an earneseas that are really delicious, some able scientists back East have arisen to say that Schoonmaker'a scheme is mani fetly Impossible of reaUxation. They solemnly affirm that even If there were any such "neutral zone" of gravitation as Schoonmaker asserts, the twenty or thirty miles of wire depending from his magnet would drag It back Into' the radius of terrestrial gravitation. -' And they offer other and equally cogent reasons why the attempt to tap the in terplanetary space. I f or . , electricity by any such process is doomed to hopeless failure. f. ' " - "It was Joe Mulhattan's delight to set the scientists to deny' the possibility of his superficially plausible yarns; . Joe Mulhat tan's body may .lie a-mouldering In the ground, but the rplrlt that aid- mated him seems to have just turned up 'la Denver. ' C"''.' .

' . "-' ' -0 00 ' A GOOD SUGGESTION. Like most musicians, ecpecially those Bailing from Southern, Europe, Mascag ni is of a highly nervous temperament. This peculiarity manifested itself (em phatically when he was rehearsing Iris" for Its production in the. Metro politan opera house. New York- In the course of an intense love scene he kept shouting at the 'male Blnger for more vigor until the man became rattled and sang woefully 'out of tune. The exas perated composer stopped the rehearsal called the performer down to the foot lights and hissed: ."Since all other methods for making this), passage ef fective have failed, let me suggest that you try singing In the proper key." " ' o o o The late Dr. Board man. a famous Philadelphia clergyman, used to tell of preaching" funeral sermon at one time when he took up more time than usual without being aware of it- The under taker ' was a rather nervous man and became fearful that . Dr. Board man would make it a very late funeral. Finally he whispered to a member of the preacher's congregation: "Does he always preach as long as this?" "Long er sometimes," was the reply. "That is a fine sermon on vthe f resurrecetion." "Oh yes; It's a good sermon "I suppose." said the funeral director, "but if he preaches much longer rl won't' .be' able to get the body buried In time ( for the resurrection.":".- ' :i r' ;;i'; -; o o ": - THREE PRAYERS. According to ' the'' Philadelphia Rec ord, "three. Methodist I .ministers, as they were dining" together the other day. talked about short prayers. "A prayer short . as it was irreverent," said the first, "was Offered up by a soldier before; the battle of Waterloo; It was this: 'O God.; if there be a God. save my soul. If lj have a soul. " "That prayer," said ' the second min ister, "resembled one composed by Bishop Atterbury in the early part of the eighteenth century. It was - a prayer for the . soldiers about to en gaga in battle, , and it was brief and Impressive." 'O God, It ran. 'if. In the day of battle, I forget Thee, do not Thou forget me The third min ister, after a moment of thought, smiled and 'said;. "When I waa a lad I one day dined with two ) strange aunU. They set me at the head of the table, and bade me say a grace. I was taken .. . aback, fpr. L knew no grace to say, but a text popped lntol my; mind., I rattled it off. and, after it was, over, I realized that it was ap propriate enoughs It was: 'O Lord, open Thou our lips,' and our mouths Shall show forth.
