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 absence, stingiess, drop to the tneasui'? of a m::e passing annoyance. ^1^ Figures Showing the Relative Urban Population.

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 Telejjr ph ; Briefs.

It is not my desire tc ' enter upon the business of railroading 1 or to make any profit out of any muni- J cipal franchise. I merely desire the i people to see how badly they have been wronged and the magnitude of the va'.- 1 ue of the property of which they have 1 ' been despoiled. If you should accept Ihe offer of this letter.
