Che sentinels of the King's iSnglist
tnlgl.t wisely cry cut against the overuse
of the word "evidence" both as a
noun and a verb. "Very much 11 evi
ceuce" is a stilted phrase which is*
unpleasantly frequent ia books and
magazine * r.ml newspapers in tiies? j
Cays. It means nothing more than tin
single weed "conspicuous" cr "prominent"
or "debated" or "C'scusssd.'
and it i: a sadly overwork*.'a allocution.
To "evicieuce" and "to be evidenced"
are blots cu the purity of the
language which ere also too often teecgnized
in current speech end print.
TTLile the Eritish matron moans as
each successive British youth is kJ
captive tc the altar by American girls,
her Canadian niece is avenging the
English cousin. She lias swept across
the boundary line and descended tu
the professional young woman of the
United States. WLile the Canadian
girl is now prominent in ail the professions
in the States her greatest distinction
lias Lecu won in trained nursing.
In the mcst acted training schcols
r.ad the tinest hospitals the Canadian
trained nurse is in places of responsi
lillity. Not content with all this Canaclips
estimate that for every English
title wen ly American heiresses Canacian
nurses have bound as many as
tea American doctors in matrimonial I
chains.
The people of this country?that is,
the average citizens?are the most virtuous
and high-minded people in the
wcrld. because they are the bt'i
taught and trained. They are not a:
sordid and so commercial as the people
of Europe. They are not. as a nation,
lite all European nations, seeking foi
plunder in arms. It is not true that
they are all coining their ideas and en
ergies into money. There is more
idealism here than elsewhere. There
are more sacrifices made here that
anywhere else bcth for what is rigb:
and for what is only thought to be !
right. American manhood is the highest
type of manhood in the world, and
he who talks about us as a corrupt
pec pie is guilty cf slander, observe?
Harper's Weekly.
Scarcely a single month has passed
cf the new century without the attention
of the world having been called tc
some new use for electricity, some
new appliance for the working of mod
era scleutifie miracles. Round-the
world telephony has just startled us'
by looming at once into pra~facal pos- J
sibility. The wireless tekfaph is
just bore. The "telepra phone" has
appeared?an artiace by which a telephone
message may be stored away,
captured and held automatically, tc
be tapped when leisure comes. With
this the dreaded "busy" will cease tc
be a bugbear. Seeing by wire has beer
one of the fairy promises of the
past; now it is almost in view. When
Ercith in New York City can call up
Brown i:i Singapore, pass the time ol
day, smell his curry aud remark upon
the becomiuguess of Lis pith helmet,
distance will lose its frightfuincss and

A GREAT SENSATION
Developed in the Virginia Campaign
Now Closing,
USE OP MONEY FREELY CHARGED.
Millionaire Willnn! Said to Have Put
L p the Loodic to G< t the Off.ce oi
Lieutenant Governor.
Richmond. Yn., Special.?The roost
ter.raticnal feature of this hot caa;for
the Democratic nomination
for Governor, is the charge that Hon.
Joseph Willard, of Fairfax, has practcaiiy
entered into an agreement to
iwitre the lieutenant governorship by
putting up money. These charges
come frc.a friends of Congressman
S'.vanson and Senator Ma:tin.who have
gone down in defeat in this memorable
contest for the governorship.
Attorney Genera! Montague, the candidate
of the ciement in the party opposed
to Martin, has practically won
the nomination. This is conceded by
Martin and Swaneoa both, as it has
been for days pas:. Mr. Willard, an
eight-times millionaire and the wealthiest
man in Virginia, is a candidate
on the Montagu a ticket for Lieutenant
Governor. He has been close to the
latter in all cf the campaign for months
pas: and there has been no concealment
that if the Attorney General won, that
Willard would be the second man cn
the ticket nominated by the State
convention. It has keen charged that
Willard put up the money for Montague's
fight cn the condition that if the
latter were successful, the millionaire
u ire iju-uieaj.nl irovernor. ani3
has been the talk of the campaign and
an afternoon paper come3 out and
oalis upon Montague and Willard to explain
to the people of Virginia whether
the.se repeated charges made are true,
otherwise, it is contended it will place
the State and the party in the disgraceful
position of appearing to permit the
sale of the lieutenant governorship to
the highest bidder. The whole affair
has created a big sensation and is likely
to develop some more interesting
features, which have surprised the
Montague leaders. The idea is that
IVillard went into the alleged combination
with the idea that Montague wou'.d
at the end of h's gubernatorial term
make a fight for Martin's place in the
Senate. In the event ho won. the Fairfax
millionaire would be made Governor.
Martin himself admits that
Montague is likc-ly to become a formidable
opponent of hi.s for the senatorship.
The Senator has already begun
the work of endeavoring to strengthen
h mseif before the members of the
State Senate elected this fa!', who will
participate in the choice of Martin's
successor. I3oth sides will endeavor
to capture these Senators as a nucleus
c: the Legi-Iature that will make the
Senator. It is conceded that in th"
downfall of Martin's candidate for
Governor, the former has greatly weakened
himself in this Stare.
Treaty flay Be Revoked.
Washington. D. C.. Special.?The situation
as to the retaliatory tariff war
between the United Stares and Russ a
is such that the next move must be
made by the former, if this c ntest is
to be pursued. Secretary Gage, in h s
letter, raises t'ne question whether the
Russian government has nat infringed
uron the rights of the United Srates
under treaty. Article 6. cf the treaty of .
commerce with Russia of 1832, teals:
"No higher or other duties shall be imposed
on the importation in the Unite!
States of any article, the produce or
manufacture of Russia; and no higher
or other duties shall be imposed on the
importation into the Empire cf Ku s a
of any article, the produce o.* ?nmufacture
of the United States than are. o;
shall be. pavabte on the like article being
the produce or manufacture cf any
foreign country. By levying (
maximum duties on United Sta'es b - j
rvflos roflins .nnrl michinfrv nr " I
specially designating them as Unite,1.
States products, the Russian government
has. it is not doubted, made jus:
such a discrimination as is prov.de 1
against in this article of the treaty.
The question is raised, however,
whether, by our action in levying a
duty on Russian petroleum and spec'allv
describing it as such, the Unite!
States government has not also violated
this article. There is no pen.lty article
in the treaty, but unde- the common
practice of international 'aw. a
country may renounce the whole of a
treaty where it is satisfied that one oi
its provisions has b.jen purposely broken

in the various enterprises covered by |
the charters and ordinances, with 6 per j

enter upon the business of railroading 1
or to make any profit out of any muni- J

people to see how badly they have been
