Try If. SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1902. Great Britain's ohoiop of a successor to Lord Pauneefote has been wisely made. A young, vigorous and able diplomat, in touch with the Institutions and sentiment of the United States, and already possessed of the friendship of our leading men in public life, was needed for the post of llritish ambassador at Washington. These requirements seem to be met in the person of the Hon.

Michael Henry Herbert. That he has the additional nierit of having married an American girl is not surprising. From Curzon to Chamberlain, that marital choice appears, to be the evidence of wisdom that characterizes the young men who have risen to high rank in English politics. But even though Ambassador Herbert is not alone in this virtue, it will make his welcome here all the heartier. As charge d'affairs and secretary of legation he gained in Washington personal popularity and respect for his ability.

Success, no doubt, awaits his work in the position --than which, the London "Times" declares, is no more important place in the diplomatic service of the present day. SNAP-SHOTS. The canal and the debate about It should both be cut. by the use of- petroleum on the bogs and ponds of the town.

The element of beauty is entering more annd more into the structure of cities. In some localities this is com ing about through tae effort of the authorities themselves, but in most of them the way is being opened'by the women and men who are above the plane of politics and are trying to lift others Dis patch. Russia new sneers at England because of the length of time taken to subdue "a tiny nation of farmers." Yet we fancy that those farmers would have furnished quite as warm a reception for the soldiers of the snowy empire as they did for the British. Plevna should be a memory to make Russian comment on smaller nations York Mail and Express. Capt.

Richmond F. Hobson will begin his political career by running for the Alabama senate. This is the right way. If he succeeds, his next step will naturally be onward to Congress, and Alabama will then have one vigorous patriot, firm expansionist and enthusiastic friend of the navy in the national house. The more such young Americans the new South sends to Washington, the better for the new South and the Journal.

Mr. Carnegie keeps on telling how hard it is to give away his money, but he constantly refrains from calling for help. The Boers are allowed to own rifles for protection, and they need no certificate that they know how to use them.

WHO IS SPEAKING? you wish to avoid the rush for seats in the cars. A great many summer people passed through Portsmouth today on hi-ir way to their summer homes in York, Rye or New Castle.

The cottagers are putting in an appearance much earlier this season than usual. Railroad men say that they cannot remember when the summer travel so early as it did this year. There ought to be some soit of an amusement park along the line of the lectric railway, a place where pleas- ire seekers might go in summer to while away an hour or two of a pleas- am afternoon and evening. Such a ark, with a baseball diamond, picnic ground and a dancing pavilion, would add a good many dimes to the coffers of the Portsmotitn Electric tailway. The cost of reaching the park hhotihl not be more than ten cents, and the example of railway companies in other cities in giving local baseball the free use of the might be followed to advan- The festive hobo isn't as friendly i the night policemen al i as he IK in winter.

During the cold weather, trom ten to fifteen weaiy wanderers sleep at the police station every night, but a member of the traternity seldom shows up there now, unless hi comes in charge of an ofllcei and under protest. The hobo sleeps out ot doors in summer, and rarely set'ks cover except on rainy nights, and an old barn or a ruined outbuilding turnisjies all the shelter he wants during the summer months.

The great Matthewson has a lame arm and has not been pitching much of late. Buffalo has again taken to the lead in the Eastern league, and Rochester dropped to fourth place. Jake Volx, Manchester's erratic pitcher, has been doing the best work of his entire career lately. The Boston team passed Philadelphia and took the lead in the American league race, on Thursday. The Jersey City team has been playing Walter Woods regularly at first base for the past two weeks.

The Young Portsmouths hope to win their game with the Young Manches- ters, this (Saturday) afternoon. The game will be called at half-past two. There is hardly any similarity between the present and the early season makeup of the New England league teams, Manchester alone excepted. THE ELM LEAF BEETLE. A Novel Colored Map.

According to the circular it does not thrive in New England, but mainly along the Atlantic coast south. The beetle, a small, yellowish-brown insect appears first and fills the leaves with small 1 irregular holes, while the following I broods of dark yellow and black larve continue the work until the half eaten leaves become brown, curl and fall. The beetle is about a quarter an inch long while the larve is twice as long. According to the bulletin the in- Sleep Irresistible.

"Whoever sits down," raid Dr. lander to bis company among the bille ot Tierra del Fnego, "will deep, and whoever sleeps will wake no more." The brave doctor and bla men bad tramped a considerable distance through tbe swamps, when tbe suddenly colder and fierce blasts of wind drove tbe snow before it. In a short time the cold became so intense as to cause the most oppressive drowsiness. Dr. Solander was the first to find tbe inclination to sleep too irresistible for him, and be insisted upon lying down.

In vain his companions entreated and remonstrated. He lay down, and when told that be would inevitably freeze to death answered that be desired nothing more than to lie down and die. One of the black servants lay down also. Solauder declared himself willing to go on, bat begged to be allowed to sleep first, and in a few minutes tbe two men were in a profound sleep. Soon after, those who bad been sent forward to kindle a fire returned with the welcome news that the fire awaited them at a short distance.

Tbe men happily succeeded in awakening Solauder, although be bad not been asleep five minutes, had almost lost the use of bis limbs, and the flesh was so shrunken that his shoes fell from his feet. It was with much urging and assistance that he consented to go on, but all attempts to rouse the black man were futile, and be was left to die.

This, however, is hardly practical for the gigantic elms which it often attacks and makes hideous rather than beautiful.

The view from the top of Mt.

Washington on a clear day is superb; the long drop ravines and the green topped mountains present a scene which for natural grandeur cannot be surpassed in the country. For the prospective visitor or the person not able to visit this famed elys- lum, the Boston Maine's "Bird's Eye View From Mt. Washington" is a rare treat. It is a delightful colored map. circular in shape and printed in seven different colors showing the mountains and ravines as viewed from the summit of Mt.

Washington, with each section numbered and an index giving the name of the mountain or ravine. There is a graphic illustration of a train on the Mt. Washington Railway ascending the moun tain, and the several buildings on the summit are clearly shown.
