Church in the absence of the past. H. C. Redd has recently return from Phoenix where he instituted criopa Lodge with twenty-seven numbers. He is deputy grand masse for masons for Colorado, Arizona new Mexico. The hotels of Tucson are running their full capacity with the thermometer registering daily from 90 to 90 degrees. The people from the tern cities are seeking a warm climate. George Dixon, which history is spelled to record one of the most best and gentleman fighters known ruglism, has succumbed to the insult—fought once to often. L. Lewis of El Paso is in the city minging for that grotesque affair as on the cake walk, in the corriors of the Orndorff Hotel. Speak of the Negro and cake walks, a moment white man remarked, that Negro's highest ambition was to enable the monkey as nearly as posse. Those who even in connection in the sacred duties of the church did indulge in this orangoutang, can glean from this the standard which they are placed by intelligent people. at the last election in Mississippi vote was nearly 65,000. The pop flow of the state is about 1,650,000 the voting population 33,000, are about 137,500 white voters only 65,000 went to the polls, that it was a cinch election. 400 of them were not interested to vote. Seven-twelfths of eutire vote is colored, who for the nine years have been practically transected. There has not been a tested election in the state since At that time the vote of the we was 154,848 and the population at 82,500 and now with a popula nearly double the vote is only fifths of what it was then. glance at the above will give the readers of this newsy journal an in- to the injustice of disfranchisement as practiced in the southern states.

The arts both federal and state have playing havoc with legislative which have exceeded their author. One of particular interest to the two is a decision by Judge Rogers the Federal Court of Arkansas. judge of a state court issued an action forbidding the importation labor from an neighboring state. Judge Rogers dissolved the decision, which he laid down the broad principle that under the United States institution, no state has a right to admit citizens of other states to enclaves in search of work, or work under agreement previously. It was held that under theessions of the fourteenth amendments of any state have a right to go into any other state, or from state to state or any other lawful errand. So much weight and racial interest would not be paid to the above, but for the fact that recently a northern governor threatened to meet colored miners from the south, at the state line with the militia. From what has been penned, it is clearly to seen that the Negro is bound to be in THE TROUBADOURS. COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Collins is very ill with lagripe.

PLEASANT HOUR CLUB ITEMS OF INTEREST PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE. Gathered by our Correspondent during the Week. PUEBLO, Colo.—The sewing circle met at the residence of Mrs. G. F. Grigsby, Thursday afternoon. L. J. McKenna fell from his wheel and broke several bones in his wrist. The trustees of the Eight Street Baptist Church gave a banquet Thursday night which was well attended. A concert will be given Feb. 6, by five maids at St. John's A. M. E. Church. The children of the Sunday School gave an excellent concert Thursday night. Miss Elenora Harrison had spared no pains to see that each had his part well. The familiar form of J. Dogge is not seen around the opera house lobby any more as they have decided to cut expenses by hiring Chinese help. W. J. Harrison is convalescing from an attack of neuralgia and from the looks of one side of his face it does not look as though he had complied with the scriptures, or else he would have turned the other cheek. The Ladies Court held a very pleas ant session at the home of Mrs. G. Holmes. Lunch was served and a neat sum realized which will go to the credit of the Heroines. We are informed that similar entertainments will be held at the homes of other members of the Court. Rev. Hardy preached two able sermons, his subject in the morning, "Sojourners," at evening, 'God is a man of war.' Rev. Byrd presented to his congregation for his morning subject, Luke 19th chapter and the latter clause of the third verse, "Zacchaeus and the Sycamore tree." In the evening he preached from Isaiah 35-1 "The desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." The Masonic Building Committee and Josephine Court No. 6, gave a banquet during the holidays. The feature of the evening was the installation of officers by Grand Matron J. S. Young assisted by Grand Master I. W. Hayes. Grand Matron Young of Leadville, spent the holidays in Pueblo and was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Williams. She was royally entertained by the Heroines. Mr. and Mrs. G. C Holmes gave a reception in her honor. In company with friends she visited the asylum and on New Year's day addressed a large audience in Bessemer. The following day she returned home delighted with her trip Your correspondent was permitted to be present at the first semi monthly meeting of the Pleasant Hour Club which as you are nodoubt are aware is confined to the members of the club except the annuals, but being a reporter for THE STATESMAN, I was permitted to invade the sanctum sanctorum of the ladies, and listen to their program which was as follows. The opening number was a paper by Mrs. E. C. Thompson, "Are we Improving?" Your correspondent was able to catch the words of the speaker and trusts that it will not be imposing on you to reproduce them in your paper. "Dear Pleasant' Hours, another year has come and gone and the reap er whose name is death, has not visited one of our homes. We are all here to greet each other in this our first meeting in the new year. And here a thought arises as I glance backward for a short period. Are we improving? Are we keeping ourselves posted on the current events of the day? Do we read the Afro-American papers that we may know what is going on among us in other towns and cities? Is our club any improvement to us? Does it broaden or cause us to grow narrow in our ideas, or are we simply devoting our time to social enjoyment for ourselves and a few acquaintances? Are we rising with the tide of intelligence that is sweeping the race onward in the march of time? Although we are only amateurs in the race yet we can make for ourselves a name that our children will rise up and call us blessed. Our hours ought to be used in cultivating a taste for culture and refinement. We should be inspired to work while it is day that when the new century dawns upon us we will be able to step in line with the vast throng of Afro-Americans who are climbing the ladder of fame, reaching the different vocations in life." The next number was a solo, "Dreams," by Mrs. Gatewood. Mrs. Harrison read a selection from one of the latest works concerning the progress of Afro-American race. The last number was the critics report after which they repaired to the dining room and did justice to the menu served by the hostess. Among the Authors. In this issue we desire to call special attention of our readers to biographies. The late Hon. Frederick Douglass by Chas W. Chestnut, is a work which reflects great credit, not only upon Douglass, but coming from the pen of one whose knowledge and writing of the great man is so accurate, that the wost skeptic could find no fault. A man whose words and acts stand as a living monument of the Negro's achievements. For sale by Small, Maynard & Co., Boston. Price 75 cents. No less interesting is his other book, "The Wife of his Youth," which brings forth the true character of the imaginative minds and its power to illustrate in glowing words the course that is taken by noble minds. For sale by Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston and New York. Price $1.50. Following this comes the work of Charles Henry Shoeman, "A Dream and other Poems." Mr. Shoeman has displayed a very great taste as a poet of no small ability and a writer whose views as expressed in his poems, meet the approval of our literary people. Published by George Wahr, Ann Arbor, Mich. Price $1.00. Another work of vast interest is that of the Rev. Norman B. Wood, entitled "The White Side of a Black Subject." It is a work of vast importance to our people and should be studied carefully by those who wish to be posted upon matters that it so bountifully contains. It can justly be classed as a book of ready references. From a biblical standpoint it ranks among the best. American Publishing House, Chicago. "The Future of the American Negro" by Booker T. Washington, contains information that has required years of experience to gather and a vast amount of labor to compile. Those who were fortunate to hear him last night will agree with us when we say that his words as spoken during his lecture are upon the same lines as found in this volume. As a leader he has avoided small and useless controversies from which no good possibly could come. He is working forward to the final educational elevation of our people, though the lasting relief must come as an appreciation of his work. The book is characteristic of the man—plain, straight-forward, and earnest. He draws from the past lessons for the future and by the most convincing argument carries them home. The success of the man preaches the success of the book. It is published by Small, Maynard and Co Boston and sells for $1.50. It is nicely bound in cloth and will make a worthy addition to any library. A WOMAN'S AWFUL PERIL.

Woman's Chief Foe. Worry is the father of insomnia. Worry is forethought gone to seed. Worry is discounting possible future sorrows so that the individual may have present misery. Worry is not one large individual sorrow; it is a colony of petty, vague, insignificant, restless imps of fear, that become important only from their combination, their constancy, their iteration. Worry is the traitor in our camp that dampens our powder, weakens our aim; under the guise of helping us to bear the present and to be ready for the future worry multiplies enemies within our mind to sap our strength. Worry must not be confused with anxiety, though both words agree in meaning originally, a "choking," or a "strangling," referring, of course, to the throttling effect upon individual activity. Anxiety faces large issues of life seriously, calmly, with dignity. Anxiety always suggests hopeful possibility; It is active in being ready and devising measures to meet the outcome. Worry is the dominance of the mind by a single, vague, restless, unsatisfied, fearing and fearful idea. The mental energy and force that should be concentrated on the successive duties of the day is constantly and surreptitiously abstracted and absorbed by this one fixed idea. American oysters rank among the best in the world, and the export list is growing all the time. England takes about 3,000 barrels a week all the year round. Gone, says the New York Sun, are the days of the old Saddle Rocks, which no man could place entries in his mouth, which for frying were the Elysium of the Philadelphia chef. In the old days there were only three centers for oysters—Baltimore, New York and New Haven. The best oysters come from Blue Point, Oak Haven, Buzzard's Bay (deep water), Lynn Haven (Cheapeake), Shrewsbury, Mill Pond, Rockaway, Maurice River Cove (mouth of Delaware), Great South and Lower Bay. Experts in the business say that the finest oysters obtainable are in the first weeks of May, as then the fat, luscious, Virginia oysters come north to be planted. Virginia oysters are placed in spawn in "spat beds" along the deeper water shores of bays and estuaries. Each is capable of producing 1,000,000 eggs. The worst part of the influenza epidemic in London appears to be passed. The number of deaths fell last week, according to official records, to 208, as against 316 for the week before. Nottingham still maintains its death rate of thirty-two per thousand. ```markdown ``` DON'T WORRY. American Oyster Trade NO.28.

We are in the field. We had the pleasure of visiting the bible services of Revs. Reynolds and McIntyre at the residence of Mr. Love. E. D. Collins is building a neat 3-room cottage on Broadway. Mr. Collins owns some valuable property in the northern part of the city. We were informed by Rev. Reynolds that a successful meeting was held at Bethel Baptist Church that will unify all workers and the future looks brighter for a more cheerful ser vice. Mesdames Simpson, McIntyre, Nealy, Thrower, and others whose names we failed to learn, formed a committee to visit the supposed slave girl, but no reports have been given us. The chouses to be conducted by Mrs. Carrie Russell are being looked forward to as an event of much brilliancy and financial profit. Efforts are being made to secure the opera house for the occasion. The meeting of Information was held and poorly attended, but the few were powerful and determined-Revs. Reynolds, McIntyre and Prof. Davis addressed the meeting in forcible language on the following topics: "Recognition in the city government," "Our rights as a common citizen," and the "Duty of colored men owning patented mining property sufficient to organize a company. Messrs. McGarthard, Lewis and Curtis were conspicuous in the movement. The result of the meeting was a permanent organization with Reynolds, president, Prof. Davis, secretary. The object is to secure as far as possible the rights of Afro American citizens in municipal affairs and to encourage race enterprise in this vicinity. The meetings will be held every second and fourth Monday nights at the different churches. All lovers of fair play are invited to attend. New Silk Bleaching. A novel and pleasing discovery is credited to a German inventor, whose name, unfortunately, does not appear, the realization of a silk bleaching process by which the silk comes out a dazzling white. It is found that, if to bleaching baths of a bottle of sodium or hydrogen a liquid alcohol of the ethylic series, such as wood or ordinary spirit, is added, or glycerine, ethyl aldehyde, acetone, or any body belonging to the same series as the last two, the bleaching effect is increased greatly. Hitherto perfectly white silk could only be got from raw yellow material on condition of taking out the baste; now it can be easily obtained without the loss of the latter. The supplementary bleaching agents can be used over and over again, being added to the bleaching baths in quantifies and at temperatures depending upon the material and the degree and speed of bleaching required. In one example noted, a closed vessel fitted with an upward condenser contains 11 pounds of raw yellow silk, 22 of commercial, 3 per cent of peroxide of hydrogen, ammonia to neutralize the acidity of the peroxide and 22 pounds of raw acetone. The whole is boiled for one hour. The silk comes out a dazzling white.—New York Sun. ```markdown ``` UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE. Corduroy and Velour and Tapestry Couches from $4 up.

From Crucero Alto, the highest town in the world, the Southern railroad of Peru drops into Lake Lagunillas, or lake region of the Cordilleras, where, group of large lakes of very cold pure water without inlet or outlet, says the Boston Journal. They receive the drainage of the surrounding hills, and conceal it somewhere, but there is no visible means of its escape. A fringe of ice forms around the edges of the lakes every night the year round, yet they contain an excellent variety of fish called the pejerray, which is caught near the shore and sold at Puma and in other neighboring towns. The two largest lakes, Sarachocha and Cachipascana, with several smaller ones in the same neighborhood, are owned by the family of Mr. Romania of Arequipa, who has just been elected president of Peru. He owns immense tracts of land in this locality, with thousands of sheep, cattle, lamas, alpacas and vicuans, which are herded upon it. A curious phenomenon about the lakes is that they keep at the same level all the time, regardless of dry and rainy seasons. No amount of rain will make any difference with their depth, which, however, in the center is unknown. And this adds to the awe and mystery with which they are regarded by the Indians. There are no boats upon the lakes except a few small balsas, or rafts, made of bundles of straw, which keep very close to the shore for fear of being drawn into the whirlpools that are said to exist in the center. There is some foundation for this fear, for only two or three years ago a balsa containing five men disappeared in the darkness, and it was never heard of again. Of course, it may have been tipped over and its occupants have been paralyzed by the cold water in an ordinary way, but their bodies were never recovered, nor did the balsa ever float to shore. Therefore the people think the whole party was lured into a maelstrom and swallowed up by the mysterious waters. The whirlpool near the center of Lake Popo, which receives the waters of Lake Titicaca, is well known, and hundreds of men have lost their lives by venturing too near it. Boats that are drawn into, the current are whirled around swiftly a few times and then disappear. For the protection of navigators the government of Bolivia has anchored a lot of buoys in Lake Popo, and boatmen who observe them are in no danger. There is supposed to be an underground outflow from all these lakes. It is claimed that articles which have been thrown into their waters have afterwards been picked up on the seacoast near Africa, and careful observers say that on the beach in that locality are frequently found corn-stalks, reeds and other debris which do not grow on the coast, but are found in great abundance among the interior lakes. THE BLACK WALNUT. Our European Cousins Are Paylag High Prices for It. The great size often reached by this tree, the richness of the dark brown wood, the unique beauty of the grain sometimes found in burls, knots, feathers and in the curl of the roots, all conspire to make this the most choice and high-priced of all our native woods, says the Berea Quarterly. Twenty-five years ago walnut was extensively used in the manufacture of fine furniture and finishings in this country, but manufacturers adroitly drew attention to the beauty of darkly stained quartered oak and the use of the rarer wood has greatly declined. But all this time the search for fine black walnut logs has gone on systematically, though quietly, the trade attracting little attention, though the volume of lumber handled has been large. Though found to some extent in the Atlantic states from Massachusetts southward, the great source of supply has been the central portions of the Mississippi valley. The walnut is at home in the rich eluvial bottom lands of the western streams and in the stony limestone soils of the hills and mountains and in such localities the buyers have left few trees unsurveyed. Throughout eastern Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas, as well as the states along the Ohio and its tributaries, may be seen a few logs at this little station, a car or two at that, with carefully hewn sides and painted ends, ready for the market. If you ask where the market is you will find that the great bulk of this rare lumber goes to Europe. While we have been led into an enthusiastic admiration for fine oak, stained according to the degree of antiquity it is supposed to represent, our European cousins have been paying fancy prices for the rich black walnut that we have allowed to go "out of fashion." Matter of Courtesy. A good story, which has the merit of being true, is told of the late Lady Howard de Walden. On one occasion she had a little wager with her neighbor, Lady Emily Foley, based on her firm belief that the rustics of Worcestershire were more polished in their manners than those of Herefordshire. A fitting opportunity to solve the question soon occurred. The two ladies went for an afternoon drive in a pony cart. Presently they reached a closed gate, which was civilly opened for them by a laboring lad. "I am sure," said Lady Howard de Walden, as she gave the boy a sixpence, "you are a Herefordshire boy." "Thou beest a loiar," replied the boy, "O'm a Worcestershire lad." That settled the question—Exchange. THE HOTEL DILLINGHAM'S HOTEL, MOST PA LATIAL ON THE ISLANDS. A NEW MONTE CRISTO A NEW MONTE CRISTO BENJAMIN FRANKLIN DILLING- HAM OF HONOLULU. Arrived in the Islands on the Spar of a Wrecked Merchantman—He Is Now The Richest Resident of Our Pacific Possessions. (Special Letter.) When the elder Dumas gave "Monte Cristo" to the world, matter of fact readers pronounced the story as improbable as it was entertaining. Hawaii has given us an Edmond Dantes whose romantic adventures and practical achievements eclipse those of Dumas' hero. Did his modesty but permit him to loosen his tongue, Benjamin F. Dillingham of Honolulu could tell such a story of hardship, adven- J. BEN F. DILLINGHAM. ture, hazard and success as would under the pen of a Stevenson or a Kipling glow into one of the most fascinating romances ever written. But this Edmond Dantes is eminently practical. His dealings are with the hard-headed capitalist and the hard-handed laborer and through storms of adversity he has ever retained the confidence and respect of both. To be sure he has a heart, but it is possessed by a charming wife, two lovely daughters and two talented sons. Nor is he second to Dumas' creation in point of generosity and charity. In short, Mr. Dillingham is an up-to-date Monte Cristo of the kind that we can understand and admire. Less than thirty years ago he trod barefoot upon the beach at Honolulu, where now stand his wharves and warehouses, his sugar mills and his railway depot. His entire capital at that time consisted of a robust constitution and an abundance of gray matter called brain. Today he is one of the leading financiers of the islands and has millions at his command. Like Dantes he too wrested his millions from mother earth, but they came not in the form of mildewed coin and precious stones collected by some old freebooter. His fortune has been DILLINGHAM'S HOTEL, MOST coaxed from the canefields of Hawaii by modern methods of irrigation and fertilization. His money chests are countless acres of sugar cane, bounded by miles of irrigating ditches and railway tracks. Three voyages around the world before the mast had sharpened his wits, taught him the value of discipline and self-control and convinced him that the sea was no place for a youth with ambition. He determined to settle down upon the first friendly shore which offered him shelter and Honolulu proved to be the lucky spot. After being shipwrecked he was washed up on the beach there and there he remained and labored. Without a dollar to his name or a prospect in sight he trudged up the beach into the town in search of work. His frank face, earnest manner and sturdy appearance won him a position before the salt spray had dried upon his scanty clothing. It was not much of a position, only a dollar a day, but it proved an ample start for a boy of Dillingham's caliber. He went about his humble task with the same earnestness he afterwards displayed in handling gigantic deals where millions were involved and reward soon followed in a substantial increase of wages. But earning money for others was not to Dillingham's liking and he determined to strike out for himself at the first opportunity. His savings had been judiciously invested and while they did not amount to a fraction of the sum he now expends every day, they sufficed to give him a respectable start in the hardware business, which he followed for many years with profitable results. All these years the leaven of ambition was active in his brain and he preached the doctrine of expansion and development to his less enthusiastic neighbors. Hawaii, he insisted, was one of the richest gardens of the universe and it was their duty to take advantage of nature's bounty and develop its resources. His logic compelled their attention, but they were slow to follow his suggestion. When in the latter '80s Dillingham proposed the construction of a railway on the island of Oahu, which would connect and be fed by a number of sugar plantations which he intended to develop, sluggish capital balked at the idea as foolhardy and impracticable. The McKinley bill had dealt a heavy blow to the sugar industry in Hawaii and with their principal market virtually closed to them the planters saw nothing ahead but blue ruin. Dillingham's unbounded optimism and pluck overcame one obstacle after another, and finally landed himself and his followers just where he predicted they should find themselves when the task he had outlined was accomplished. Artesian wells were sunk upon the present site of the famous Ewa sugar plantation, and water in sufficient abundance for irrigation purposes was struck The Ewa company was organized and the stock floated. Investors were slow in coming to the front, but Dillingham persevered, and the plantation was soon firmly established. It yielded remarkably from its inception, and every one connected with the corporation thrived. Stock went up and up, until it reached the head of the list, and the name of Dillingham was blessed. Throughout the trials of organization and promotion he had carried burdens under which a less plucky and optimistic man would have fallen, but he plodded on in his own confident way, and proved the truthfulness of his reasoning. With Ewa prosperous Dillingham set about to extend his railway and develop new plantations. Oahu was formed and launched, and became a second Ewa, inferior only in size and productive capacity. But Dillingham was not content to rest at Oahu. The wild and fertile fields of Waialua were still in his path, and to these his railway must be extended. Little time was lost in so doing, and Waialua soon followed Ewa and Oahu as a profitable feeder for his road. The picturesque scenery on the seashore of Waialua tempted him to build a hotel there, and he did so, giving Hawaii its most attractive structure. Just now Mr. Dillingham is forming PA LATIAL ON THE ISLANDS. new plans for the improvement of island industries. What they are he alone knows, but it is safe to assert that capital will follow his undertakings, so confident are those who know him in his honesty and ability to carry out whatever project he may contrive. Personally Mr. Dillingham is the most modest, unassuming and approachable of men. He cannot be induced to speak of himself or his accomplishments. A bit of interesting reminiscence escapes him now and then, but usually he talks of nothing personal. It required an enormous amount of pluck to finance Hawaiian enterprises during the interregnum succeeding the death of King Kalakaua, but Dillingham's optimism and faith in the good intent of the United States government never wavered and he safely piloted his followers into safe harbors of financial ease.

How an Organization Vested with Pleasant Powers Rids a State of Outlaws—The Killing of Joaquin Murrileta, Leader of Mexican Bandits. Concerning the lives and exploits of the bandits who flourished in California during the termative period of the state's history, a great deal has been published calculated to throw a glamour of romantic sympathy about the persons of desperate scoundrels whose only real virtue was physical courage. Fable and fancy have been particularly kind to the memory of that pictureque cut-throat, Joaquin Murrietta, who has been painted as a sort of modern Claude Duval—with the manner of a Chesterfield, the form of Adonis and the heart of a pirate. The real story of his life, in its entirety, may never be written, but here is the true story of how Joaquin Murrietta, the most noted, feared and hated of all the desperadoes who figure in the annals of the state, came to his death. It is the first authentic account ever published of the killing of the famous bandit, as related by the only man now living who was an eye-witness of and a participant in the tragedy. The facts are given by Capt. William J. Howard, the last survivor of the celebrated California Rangers, who followed the bandits for hundreds of miles, and routed them in the San Joaquin valley, where Joaquin and his lieutenant, "Three-Fingered Jack," were killed, and the former's head hacked off with a bowie knife. Capt. Howard is a native of Virginia, served in the Mexican war, was a member of the Walker filibustering expedition into Nicaragua, and went to California, where he still resides, with the earliest goldseekers. Murrietta, a Mexican, was the leader of a gang of his fellow-countrymen as bad as and worse than he him.self. Robbery, arson, murder, marked their "I SURRE trail. Affairs grew so desperate that some of the most prominent and influential men in the state drew up a bill providing for the organization of a company of twenty men, to be known as California Rangers. The governor was given authority to appoint a chief or captain, the latter to select nineteen others to complete the organization. As the measure was passed and approved, the rangers were given almost automatic power. They were permitted to take prisoners, try and execute criminals without advice or interference from the ordinary civil authorities. Their mission was the restoration of law and order, the protection of the lives and property of the people of the state. The man selected to command this remarkable company was Harry Love, a hercules in strength, standing six feet in his socks, a magnificent man, with curly black hair falling over his broad shoulders, moustachios of the same somber hue half covering his determined and aggressive chin. Love was a noted Indian fighter, a veteran of the Mexican war, and in zil respects qualified for his task. He selected nineteen men, among them Capt. Howard, and all but the last named are dead. Believing that Murrietta's audacious operations were the chief inspiration to the smaller fry of lawless characters, Capt. Love and his fellow-rangers turned their undivided attention to the capture of this bandit and the breaking up of his gang. But Joaquin was a slippery fellow and managed to evade the pursuers for many weeks. Finally, however, word was brought to the rangers that Murrietta and his band were camped on the St. Louis Gonzales ranch, on the west side of the San Joaquin river. Love and his men made a forced march to the scene, only to find that their prey had departed. But the trail was still warm, and after a weary pursuit, on the morning of July 23, 1853, the gang was brought to bay between the hills west of Kern lake. The Arroyo Cauna flows between these hills, and on the north side of the little stream a wide depression in the land concealed what was beyond. 4 thin wreath of smoke was rising --- from this direction, and toward that point Love and his rangers were moving. As they drew nearer to the bank of the arroyo the rangers divided into two parties, crossed the stream and approached the spot indicated by the rising smoke from opposite directions. Nothing but the smoke was visible until the high ground was reached, and then, not thirty feet away, the pursuers saw the bandits scattered over 100 square yards, preparing to camp. Capt. Love signaled his men to dismount, and the rangers walked deliberately up to the campfire. Bill Burns, a ranger, who knew Joaquin, pointed CAPT. WILLIAM I. HOWARD CAPT. WILLIAM J. HOWARD. to a tall, athletic young Mexican who was leading his horse preparatory to staking him, and exclaimed, "Captain, there's your man." Murrietta was not aware yet of the rangers' arrival. Capt. Love, with his eyes fixed on the bandit chief, motioned toward a man who was bending over the fire, and, in low tones, said to a comrade, George Chase, "That's 'Three-Fingered Jack'; if he makes a move, shoot him!" Love then moved quietly toward Joaquin. The man by the fire had thrown himself down on a saddle cover. As Capt. Love started NDER!" to walk away "Three-Fingered Jack" inserted his "good" hand under the leather blanket and, suddenly snatching a pistol previously concealed, fired pointblank at the captain of the rangers. Noticing the move, Ranger Hayes had leveled his rifle at the robber, but the latter was too quick, and Hayes' gun exploded harmlessly in the air. But it was "Three-Fingered Jack's" last shot, for half a dozen of the rangers were pumping lead into his body before he could pull the trigger a second time. At the first fire Murrietta wheeled, took in the situation at a glance. A HARRY LOVE, A HERCULES IN STRENGTH. jumped on his horse and plunged down the bank of the arroyo, followed by a volley from the rangers. By this time all the bandits were on their feet, firing. Their bullets went wide, however, and after a small show of fighting, the entire band scattered in a wild dash to escape. They were followed and given no quarfer by the rangers. John White, another ranger, who was leading one of Howard's thorough-breds, seeing the flight of the man they had sworn to capture, leaped on his horse and dashed after Murrietta. The chase continued for three-fourths of a mile. White's animal was greatly superior in speed to the mustang bearing Joaquin, and the range was soon within shooting distance. He fired twice at the robber, the second time at close range. Murrietta half jumped half fell from his horse, and, rushing a torn and bleeding hand, said in Spanish, "I surrender." White noted that the bandit was unarmed. He had left his belt of pistols lying on the ground near the fire, unconscious of danger. White kept his man covered, and had just ordered him to move toward the camping place when a party of the rangers, hot from the pursuit and extermination of the bandits, came galloping onto the scene. They were excited, angry, reckless. Under the impression that the robber chief was resisting White, and not stopping for inquiry, the men fired at the wounded bandit. He sank to the ground, riddled with balls. In the pursuit of the Mexicans only two prisoners were taken. As to the fate of the other robbers, Capt. Howard remarked, dryly: "None got away and we didn't take any wounded prisoners." After a consultation, it was decided to cut off the head of Joaquín and the "game hand" of "Three-Fingered Jack" as proof that these noted desperadoes had been sent to their len accounts. Jim Norton took a bowel knife and hacked off the head of the bandit chief, which was placed in a sack with Jack's hand. The rangers started for Millerton, the nearest settlement, where Dr. Leach pickled the head of Murrietta. When it became generally known that the great bandit, Joaquin Murrietta, had been killed and that his band had been dispersed, the salutary effect on the lawless element was at once apparent. The great majority of the tough characters, warned by the fate of Murrietta, left central California and sought other spheres of usefulness. And so the California Rangers were disbanded three months after having organized. But the terror of their name had the effect of discouraging the co-operative robbery business for a number of years. SWORD OF THE FINEST STEEL One of the Marvels of Smith Work Be- cently Seen in Modified From the New York Tribune: "O'all the cities I have visited in Europe," said R. A. Stinson of Boston recently. "I found Madrid one of the most interesting. It has a number of out-of-the-way features that appeal to one. While I was in Madrid I tried to purchase one of the famous Toledo blades. The old-fashioned two-handled sword was what I wanted to get, one of those that were built to cut through armor and which fulfilled their mission completely, as many a bloody battlefield in yean ancient days bore witness. I had to give it up on account of the expense. They cost from $150 up, but while I was looking for one a shop-keeper showed me a most scientific trick. His store was very lofty, running up two or three stories, and he was desiccating on the beauties of this particular sword when, in order to prove the perfect temper of the metal, he drove the point into the floor and bent the blade until point and hilt, met. He then suddenly released the hilt and that six feet of gleaming sword sprang up into the air like a thing alive. Up and it went, almost to the lofty ceiling itself, when it lost its impetus and began its descent hilt first. It returned almost to the place whence it started, the shop-keeper catching it by the hilt with practiced ease and returning it to its case. I was crazy to try it myself, but the owner refused to allow me, as he said I would probably not only wreck the store, but perhaps injure myself as well. He told me that if I wanted to learn the trick I had better practice it in a large open lot and that a suit of armor wouldn't be a bad thing to wear until I got the hang of it." Investors Want Their Money Back. Four additional attachments have been issued against the Investors Trust, at Philadelphia, a get-rich-quick concern, the office of which has been closed and the officials missing since the disclosures regarding the Miller syndicate of Brooklyn. The complainants are Hannah Lovering, Somerville, Mass., who claims to have been defrauded to the amount of $200; Lucy A. Harmon, Somerville, Mass.; $150; F. C. Bishop, Fairmount, W. Va.; $200. A letter received from F. M.

LOS ANGELES IS PESTERED WITH COYOTES. One of the Interesting and Typical Animals of the West—His Cunning and Great Speed—Only a Specie of Wild Dogs. (Special Letter.) One of the interesting and typical animals of the far west is the American wild dog, lowland wolf or coyote, it being known under these and other titles. While a very common animal, it is rarely well figured in the books, and is made to look more foxlike than wolfish. The accompanying illustration gives a correct idea of a young male two-thirds grown. In general appearance it resembles the typical wolf, the fur being a dull yellowish gray, with dark, even black, clouded spots; beneath it is sometimes reddish and white. The coyote is virtually a wild dog and breeds with the domestic dog, and dogs will often refuse to injure the female coyote. Huxley contends that there is no material difference between the skull of a coyote and that of a dog, and a cross between a collie and an ```markdown ``` A TYPICAL COYOTE. Eskimo dog produces a very fair coyote, so far as appearances go. "Don Coyote" is essentially a night animal. On the outskirts of Pasadena, Cal., a city of 15,000 inhabitants, he comes boldly up the bordering streets, evading the dogs the best he can; now giving them a wild chase, then stopping in some vacant lot and defying the town, and with head aloft yelping to the moon. At such time the yelps come in such quick succession that they fairly overrun one another, and seem echoed back and repeated from every hill, rock and bluff. One must give Don Coyote credit for much intelligence, as on one occasion at least he led hounds and horses out of the way to a barbed wire fence, passing under it himself but witnessing the complete demoralization of the hunt as he bounded away. While the coyote hunts singly in towns or villages, he runs in packs in the open, and it is here that he demonstrates his skill and cunning. A naturalist once observed a pack of coyotes on the edge of the desert manipulating a jack rabbit. They swept across the country in a line, soon starting a hare, then formed in two parallel lines about 200 feet apart. There was a regular plan of action, and none of the coyotes seemed over-excited, but when the hare was started they wheeled into columns, like soldiers, the leading coyote running at the top of his speed. After a few moments he dropped to the rear and a fresh coyote took the lead; and this was kept up until the hare was run down. The chase was a silent one. This method recalls the wild dogs of Australia, or dingo. Where's Your Dead Spot? Most people have doubted their eyes when at some conjuring performance they have seen a man run needles and pins through both cheeks, evincing no pain, as he does so. In reality every person has hundreds of senseless specks of skin all over his body through which he could run pins, or even cut them out, without feeling any pain. If some one else were to do so when he was blindfolded, he would not be even aware of the fact. Physicians call them dead spots, and the reason that one man can sew his cheeks up while another could not is simply because the former happens to have many hundreds of these spots in one place. These dead spots are caused by the minute nerves which convey every sensation to the brain being either absent in these particular places or dead and senseless. But should any one of our readers allow himself to be blindfolded, and then get one of his friends to prod him very gently with a clean needle, say all on one arm, out of every hundred pricks he will feel only about sixty or seventy at the most. In the other cases the needle will have touched dead spots—Cincinnati Enquirer. Ready For It. During the recent European cholera scare a French prefect wrote to a mayor requesting him to take precautions against the disease, which had broken out in his department. The mayor was rather puzzled at these instructions, which appeared vague to him; but after deep thought he answered that he and his electors were prepared for the plague. On inquiring into the measures taken by the worthy mayor in order to ascertain their efficiency it appeared that he had caused as many graves to be dug as there were inhabitants. The New Year's festival of the Chinese, said to be the most complete holiday season kept by any nation of the earth, is celebrated wherever a single Chinaman is found, whether in Pekin or New York, writes Belle M. Brain in January Woman's Home Companion, discussing "New Year's Customs in the Orient." It is a movable festival, falling-on any date between Jan. 21 and Feb. 19. Preparations for the great holiday begin weeks beforehand. The accumulated dirt of many months disappears as if by magic. Even the Chinaman himself passes through the cleaning process, washing his clothes and bathing his person—the latter being a great event in the lives of a few, since it occurs but once a year! Buildings of every descriptions are elaborately decorated. Flowers are in great demand, the favorite being the Chinese narcissus. The prospect of happiness for the year is believed to be in proportion to the number of flower stalks produced from a single bulb. During the closing days of the old year Chinese streets present a busy and animated scene. Shops are thronged with customers eagerly laying in large quantities of food, clothing and New Year's gifts. Debtors and creditors are seen hurrying to and fro, endeavoring to settle their accounts, for according to a most commendable custom debts must be paid or settled in some satisfactory manner before the new year dawns. To meet these liabilities shopkeepers offer their goods at unheard-of-prices and families frequently part with odd bits of bric-a-brac, curious relics and valuable ornaments for a sum pitifully small. No disgrace is equal to being found on New Year's morning with an unpaid debt. On the other hand the creditor who fails to collect his debts at this time may press them again for many months. He therefore pursues his debtor far into the night, continuing his search into the New Year's day if necessary. This he may do if he carries a lighted lantern to indicate that he is still engaged in last night's business and has not discovered that the day has dawned! AN INDIAN "SWEAT HOUSE." The "Medicine Man" of early Indian history has been partly succeeded at least by the "self-healer" remedy which some individuals in Indian tribes of the west have invented for their use. The "sweat house" is a remarkable creation of the North American redskin. The "sweat house" of the average mortal is a superheated room and a swathing of thick blankets—perhaps, to a degree, the Indian has borrowed the white man's method of nursing some phase of bodily disease. In some western tribes the "sweat house" has come to be an invaluable department of the "Indian hospital." The picture presented herewith is a view of one of these old "sweat houses"—"Wis-te-te-mo." The Indian sitting beside it is Smo-ho-lo. The big pile of rocks at the left is heated and placed inside the little house, and the flap thrown over the door. Water is then poured upon the hot rocks, and a dense steam arises and fills the narrow quarters almost to suffocation. Thereupon the Indian, after wrapping himself in a blanket, crawls into the structure and remains until the perspiration pours from his body in streams. He then leaves the house and plunges into the chilling waters of the Muati, a river which flows near by. SIR WILLIAM HENRY AN INDIAN AND "HIS SWEAT HOUSE." (The redskins have copied to a degree the white man's method of treating some ailments. Photograph by Lee Moorhouse, Penakton, Oregon.) It is said that this treatment acts upon the Indians like a medicine. The average white man could stand all but the last cold plunge—that would mean perhaps death. Col. Verry's Strategic Cat. From the Worcester Telegram: Col. Horace B. Verry has a cat which is the terror of dogs passing the Verry domicile on Cedar street. There is a particular stone post at the gateway on which the cat likes to sit, waiting for a victim. If the dog approaches the post, as dogs sometimes will on business intent, the cat promptly drops on his back and gets a firm grip on hair or hide as the case may be. The dog lets out up the street or down the street, whichever way he was headed, or the shortest way home, as if the devil himself had got him, instead of a plain cat of feminine gender. She seems to enjoy the free ride, and finally drops off, the dog never stopping to say good day. The Statesman.

A great deal of sympathy has been expressed for the young murderer, Antone Wood and a pardon was in prospect for him.

Had he been a negro he would have been a burly brute and would be only another proof of the negro's unfitness for higher education.

STOP THE FOOLISHNESS. The so-called anti-imperialist opposition to the administration policy in the Philippines has its humorous side, and it is from that side that it has been treated generally in the press of the country. It is high time, however, that the serious view should be considered, and that the opponents of the administration should be called upon to formulate their policy in a positive statement. That the speeches of Senator Hoar and others, telegraphed to Hong Kong and thence to Manila, encouraged Aguinaldo and his followers, and that the continuance of the insurrection, and the blood of General Lawton and many others is directly chargeable to these treasonable encouragements of the armed enemies of our country, has been put beyond a doubt. It is time now to stop the foolishness. The so-called anti-imperialists differ among themselves as to the policy to be pursued; but one thing all of them apparently are united on: that the United States, when it abandons the Philippines to Aguinaldo and the Hong Kong junta, shall guarantee that no other nation shall put a stop to the anarchy which would naturally result from the withdrawal of the United States forces, or take possession of the islands or any part thereof, for the time of ten years at least. This is the most definite proposition upon which all the anti-imperialists appear to be united. This is a policy which can only be characterized as a dog-in-the-manager policy. Does any one imagine, who has any sense, that the other nations who would be glad to get possession of the islands would acknowledge for a moment the right of the United States to withdraw from them, and at the same time announce to the world that no other nation should take them? So long as we hold the islands, other nations acknowledge our right to do so; but the moment we withdraw, and allow the natives to make war on each other undisturbed, to violate the rights of traders, to pillage and massacre at their will, other nations are bound to see that the rights of their subjects are protected, and they will do so; and if we should undertake to prevent them we should have on our hands a world-wide war. The guaranty which the anti-imperialists propose, therefore, is a guaranty of war with England and Germany and Russia and probably France, all in the interests of peace. A more absurd proposition was never formulated by a man insane. There is not a single anti-imperialist, so far as their utterances disclose, who would have this country simply withdraw from the Philippines and leave them to their fate. Every one wants the United States to guarantee them from interference by any other power. Such a guaranty involves all the responsibilities and none of the benefits which would come from an occupation by this country. That the Filipinos would have under our government a larger measure of individual freedom, a better administration of justice, and a better chance to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" than under the dictatorship of an Aguinaldo, is not worth arguing. The question is whether this country, having undertaken a responsibility, shall flunk it. There is but one answer to such a question that can be given by the American people, and if Mr. Bryan and the majority of the Democrats in their next national convention shall declare that this country ought to adopt any such course as is now proposed by the Democratic leaders who seem to have most influence in the party, the popular verdict in the next election will be so overwhelming that the party will need a quarter of a century more to recruit its shattered forces enough to make a respectable contest. WOLCOTT AND THE PHILIPPINES Senator Wolcott's reply to Senator Pettigrew on the Philippine question was a scathing and timely rebuke to the gentleman from South Dakota and his fellow American Tagalog, who are banging away with their blunderbusses at the administration, notwithstanding, as Senator Wolcott says, there is "not an honest Democrat who did not admit that if his party were in power the first thing to be done would be to crush the insurrection." The Colorado senator said: "Scattered through every community there were the discontented and unhappy people who had not been successful and who viewed with suspicion and hatred all those whose lives had been crowned with success, who behind every good action looked for a lurking, sinister purpose." The people are fittingly represented in the United States Senate by such a man as Pettigrew, for "during all the years I have known him," stated Senator Wolcott, "I never knew him to say a kind or friendly word about a single person or a single cause." Senator Wolcott warmly defended the position of the President, who has taken no step "that did not reflect honor upon the people of the United States." He read from the President's message the extract about the duty of the government after the insurrection was over, to spare "no effort to build up the waste place." "to open schools and churches," "to foster trade and industry," and concluding with the words that it was "their liberty, not our power, which we are seeking to enhance." In speaking of the attitude of the United States toward the Philippines, Senator Wolcott maintained that we took the islands "not as a conquest, but as one of the highest duties we owed the human race." He upheld the retention of the Philippines upon the high grounds of humanity and not because of their value to us in dollars and cents. His address, while not a studied speech, was a notable one, as all of Senator Wolcott's utterances are. He showed that the United States government owes it to itself and to the natives that it establish peace and good government in the islands, and that our first duty, in carrying out such a policy, is to quell the insurrection.—Denver Times. Pettilent Pettigrew. In the Senate yesterday Pettigrew pettigrewed with even more than his habitual pettigrewness. He said that Mr. McKinley had laid himself open to impeachment and had acted by order of the British government. He swatted the British government, "the ignorance and sycophancy of the British people," the "miserable, contemptible rot" of Rudyard Kipling. British rule in Egypt, and other things to numerous to mention. He said that white men couldn't live in the tropics, a saying characteristically pettigrew. By the side of Pettigrew even Billy Mason seems to have almost a rudimentary intelligence and a faint glimmering of reason.—N. Y. Sun. No Cover Necessary The administration seems determined to allow the "aunties" to fire all their ammunition before answering, but there will be a broadside when it does come. After witnessing the operations since the beginning of the Spanish war no rational citizen really believes that there is any necessity for the administration to cover up anything.—Minneapolis Tribune. Bryan and Kentucky Bryan denies the report that he urged the Democrats of Kentucky to respect the will of the people of the state as expressed in the election. The story was improbable on its face. Bryan is not the man who would raise his hand to prevent his party from committing a fraud if he thought that the fraud would give it control of any important office. Still, Bry Goebel steals the governorship. Bryan and his party may bid a long good-by to power in Kentucky.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Danish West Indies. The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, the leading Republican paper of Ohio, says, anent the proposition to purchase the Danish West India islands: "The island are on the market, the price are reasonable, they will add completeness to our system of coaling and harbor stations in western waters. The evident conclusion would seem to be that, regardless of any other consideration, they are a desirable purchase." A Disciple. In a sermon on "Creeds and Trusts" a Chicago clergyman, the Rev. Alexander Kent of the People's Church, put forth the novel theory that religion and theology are the sources of trusts. If the tariff was the mother of trusts, as has been asserted, he declared, then he was "justified in saying that popular theology is the grandmother of trusts." As the tariff is not the mother of trusts, Mr. Kent's very interesting theory falls—New York Sun. Froth The earnest efforts made by the President and his Cabinet to get action out of Congress for the establishment of a government in Puerto Rico is a sufficient answer to the outcry made by Oliver Belmont in a December magazine in which he accused the administration of a plot to prevent any disposition of Puerto Rico at the present session of Congress. According to the Popocratic theory, McKinley desires to be a dictator in our new possessions and Belmont even suggested that Congress would be invited to append a new title to the President. He would be hereafter styled "President of the United States and Emperor of the Philippines and Puerto Rico." The amount of cheap froth that has been emitted from the jaws of the traducers of the administration since the adjournment of the last Congress in connection with its alleged "imperialism" is incalculable. Nebraska State Journal. Copperheads of To-day The copperheads will be a little slow about putting themselves in the way of getting another drubbing like the one they got on the Pettigrew proposition. In fact, the copperheads are about as feeble to-day as they were in 1861-65. They are feebler, indeed, than they were at one time during that period. They carried several northern states in 1862 and 1863, and ran the Democratic national convention in 1864. They failed to run the country then, however, and they will fail now.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. $1 BUYS THE BEST Switheces Made For colored People. This goods the best of kind made.

Mid silent prayers and a congregation whose eyes were unable to stay the flow of tears, the lifeless body of Mrs. Page was borne by strong arms of loving friends into Shorter's Chapel, Tuesday afternoon, where a fitting tribute was paid to one whose life had been dedicated to usefulness. Mrs. Page had passed her forty second year. She knew that her stay in this world would not be long so she made her call and election sure by seeking a home and refuge in a land where sorrow entereth not. A soul that had been placed in the master's keeping was at rest. The ladies of the Lone Star Chapter, No.15, assisted by the Stewardess board of which she was an active member, had charge of the remains. The floral gifts were beautiful and numerous.

Washington, the noted educator and public speaker, arrived in the city yesterday morning, in company with his private secretary, J. Emmett Scott of Texas. They were met at the depot by a number of representative white and colored citizens, who gave him a hearty and cordial welcome to Denver. Mr. Washington and party were taken in hand by the committee and escorted to Brown Palace Hotel which will be his headquarters during his stay in the city. Mr. Washington looks well and admires the climate and possibilities of Colorado. He talks hopefully of the improving conditions of the colored people in the West and East, and the enlarged opportunities in the South for steady progress along lines of agricultural and industrial education. Mr. Washington's lecture at Central Presbyterian Church last night drew out the largest and most interesting audience that has yet been in attendance in the course. His treatment of this much controverted "Negro Question" compelled the conclusion of all thoughtful men that his methods are at once legitimate, sound and capable of demonstration and solution. After the lecture Mr. Washington was taken in a carriage by a committee of the Ministerial Alliance and driven to Arapahoe Cafe where he was met by a delegation of representative colored men of Denver, including the Ministers Alliance, official board of church, editors, business men, representatives of lodges, fraternities, etc. Covers were laid for fifty and an elaborate menu served by the popular caterer, W. P. Phillips. Rev. Oscar Scott acted as toastmaster and delivered the toast, "Our Guest." The "Welcome to Denver," was eloquently delivered by Denver's Rufus Choate, Lawyer J. H. Siurt. "His Public Work" was set forth in an original poem, written for the occasion by Paul Laurence Dunbar, and a three minute prose address by Rev. Ford of Zion Church. Three minute toasts on "Our Indorsement of Mr. Washington's Work," was delivered by E. H. Hackley, Editor Rivers, George Contee and F. T. Bruce. The response was given by Prof. Washington who spoke in highest terms of his reception and opportunity to meet and speak with the colored citizens of Colorado, and it is needless to say that Mr. Washington's ad dress left a deep impression upon those who were fortunate to have the pleasure of this gathering. The contract under which Mr. Washington was to the lecture committee, prohibited him from appearing before any other audience while in Denver and also from all functions of a public nature while in the city hence arose the necessity of this gath ering in a nature of a private confer ence where Mr. Washington could met the enterprising citizens of Colorado in a private and personal way. The only regret being that on account of the lateness of the hour and the lack of facilities, the ladies were not present. Mr. Washington left this morning for Colorado Springs to lecture there this evening. In departing Mr. Washington expressed himself we'll pleased with Colorado air and citizens. D. L. JACKSON, PROPR.

Demand For Cheap Goods so Great the Manufacturers Cannot Meet It—Peculiarities of the Trade—Round Clocks for China. American-made clocks and watches are now shipped direct from this port to every quarter of the globe where civilization has made or is making its way, says the New York Evening Post. They are for the most part of a kind with the nickel alarm clock and the dollar nickel watch—machine-made goods, with which the foreign manufacturer cannot compete. The export demand of last year has been the greatest the manufacturers have known; they have not resources sufficient to supply the whole of it. The shipments in the ten months ending October aggregate in value nearly $1,500,000; which is the same as saying about a million and a quarter clocks and watches. In 1878 the exports were valued at about $1,000,000; in 1889, at about $1,300,000, and it is estimated that for 1899 the value will reach about $1,700,000. The clocks go to Hongkong, Buenos Ayres, Bombay, London, Cape Town, Manila, Arabia, northern Africa—everywhere; even, in some considerable quantity, to Switzerland. The clockmaking industry in the United States is just as old as the century. It is on record, however, that Eli Terry patented and manufactured an equation clock in 1797. In 1807 this same Terry entered into a contract with a clockmaker of Waterbury to make 4,000 thirty-hour clocks with seconds pendulum, dial and hands, and all for $4 each. He was given three years to complete his contract. There was then a clockmaker at Plymouth, another at Salem Bridge and another at Roxbury—all distinguished in their profession. In 1814 Terry perfected a thirty-hour clock of a new construction and at once all the makers took it up successfully. Since then the industry has rapidly developed, until now one concern, the Ansonia Clock company, makes eight clocks and cheap watches a minute, or 5,000 a day or 1,500,000 a year; and another, the Seth Thomas Clock company, makes, of clocks alone, two a minute, or 1,200 a day, or 400,000 a year. It may be said, in passing that the cheapest nickel clock requires 450 "handlings" to complete. "I estimate," said a manufacturer, "that about 10,000 clocks a day are made in the United States. That this enormous supply continues is simply explained. The cheap clock or watch will keep good time for about two years. Then the oil dries and clogs the wheels; and the owner buys a new one rather than go to the expense of having the old one repaired. Here's a little clock called the 'bee.' It was invented in twenty minutes, it has gone all over the world, and I shouldn't wonder if it held its own in the market until 20,000,000 are sold. You must know that clockmaking some time ago reached a point in progress near perfection. The important improvements of recent years have been few." In ten months of 1898 $11,000 worth of clocks and watches were exported to China and $170,000 worth to Japan. The Japanese are teaching themselves clockmaking; in the corresponding ten months of this year only $50,000 worth of clocks and watches were exported to that country. The demand in China however, has increased; and it is peculiar concerning it that nothing but round or octagon clocks can be sold to the Chinese merchants—old fashioned wooden, large dial clocks, such as have hung in country schoolrooms and churches for years, and which now must be made to supply this demand. The Chinese are beginning to make the cases for themselves, as the Japanese did long ago; for the most part only the movements to fit are sent to these countries. The amount saved to the buyer is extremely small. The manufacturers have tried v. sinly to introduce clocks of an improved form and movement; but there is practically no sale for anything other than the octagon style, which can be shipped in any position, and therefore first made their way so far east. The nickel alarm clock goes to the mining camps of Alaska and the Hudson bay posts of British North America and to North Africa and Arabia—even to the tents of the Bedouins. In the orient, however, the sale is small, as it is to all indolent peoples. Queer orders come to the manufacturers from such places. The catalogues of the various firms drift through many countries, being carried to this place by a commission salesman and to that by a traveling merchant, being lost and found and traded and sold, gathering business for the firm all the time. Often orders arrive in New York that were put in the mail in some out-of-the-way corner of the world six or nine months before. It turns out usually that the selection is made from a long out-of-date catalogue, and settles it happens that the clocks are out of date, too, being made no more at all. When such orders are filled the packing cases are wired tightly, as they are in all shipments to eastern countries; for the thieves are many and find it easy to loosen a board and abstract clocks from the cases in transit.

Decay in ironworking a sign of National Workmen Iron gates, through the bars of which landscapes and gardens could be seen and admired, were brought into vogue by a settled feeling of public security, says the Magazine of Art. They were among the earliest outdoor ornaments of a civilization which had become national in its force and industrial in its aims. They proved that the social spirit, long fostered by religion, by commerce and by law, had at last triumphed over the fierce pride, the tyrannical lust of power, which during so many years had set the nobles at variance with one another and with growing townships, making the drawbridge and the armored gate of wood as necessary as were a good sword and a heavy aust of mail. Thus the smith's craft, after long ministering to the needs and passions of those unquiet times when war was an instinct, became, little by little, not only the agent of a warfare which had been raised into a art, but also the necessary friend of many peaceful industries; and we all know that our own civilization is bound up with the history of iron, is really dependent on the active working of this metal. Long may it be so; for a general decay in ironworking has ever been a sign of national weakness. Thus it was in Italy, in Flanders, in Spain, as Mr. Starkle Gardner points out in his well-known handbooks on smithing; and thus we see how readily we may pass through an iron gate into the vast field of modern history—the history of civilization in Christian times. As might have been expected, iron gates were first set up on sacred ground, within churches and abbeys. They were known then as grilles or screens, and they inclosed the choir and the added side chapels. A very old one has been handed down to us—namely, the St. Swithin grille in Winchester cathedral, that takes our thoughts back to the red-handed days of William II. These gates, we must remember, were slowly evolved out of much older type of grille, a grille in bronze, which came into use either late in the seventh century or early in the eighth. Other ecclesiastical gates of iron have yet to be mentioned; they were of later date, and were put outside a good many sacred buildings. Some are still extant in this country, the oldest of all being probably those in front of Cirencester abey, which are supposed to be early Elizabethan. Like the younger gates at Canterbury cathedral, they close the principal doors. TWO BLUFFS. A Pleasant Meeting Between the Editor and the Reporter. Jack Rogers was a newspaper reporter and broke. He had hung around the Dubuque newspaper offices for a job until he had been requested to move on. So he decided to move on to Des Moines. But how to get there was the question. Jack put on his thinking cap, and the result was that two hours later he found himself on a train and the conductor standing by his seat. "Ticket!" said the conductor. "See here, conductor," said Jack, easily, "my name's Rogers, and I'm a reporter on the Des Moines 'Air Blast.' I'm broke and I'm in a hurry to get back home with a big scoop. You let me ride and the office'll fix it up with you. See?" "Well," said the conductor, "I guess that'll do all right. The road feels friendly toward the 'Air Blast.' In fact, the editor is in the back coach. Come along and I'll introduce you. If he says you're all right it goes." Jack was knocked all in a heap at the turn things had taken, but he had nothing to do but to follow the conductor. They halted in front of a man in the Mr. Smitem, this is Mr. Rogers. He says he's a reporter on your paper, and wants the office to pay for his transportation when he gets to Des Moines. "How do you do, Mr. Rogers?" said the editor pleasantly, extending his hand. "Glad to see you. Sit down here with me." The conductor didn't wait for any more, but went off. "Well, this is nice of you," said Jack, too astonished and embarrassed to talk straight. "Of course, I'm not on your paper, but I'm broke and yarned to the conductor, hoping to get a job and square it up later." "Oh, that's all right, my boy," said the other. "Neither am I on the paper. I'm only riding on the editor's pass."—San Francisco Bulletin. What the Dog Got. A very curious circumstance happened at Clinton in the fox hunt recently. The dogs were hard on the heels of a fox, when the fox darted into a hole, but some obstruction impeded its passage, and it only entered far enough to conceal its body, leaving the end of its bushy tail sticking out of the hole. When the men came near they saw one of the dogs tearing across the field with the brush in its mouth and the fox flying in another direction, with nothing left of its beautiful tail but the skinned stump. The dog had literally pulled off the hide, and having obtained the brush retired from the contest. Several shots were fired at the fox, but failed to bring him down—Hartford Courant.

There are critical moments in every life when we must act and act quickly.—Rev. D. C. Garret. BURR FOUND THE ASSASSIN. "I was particularly interested," said an old Washington lawyer the other day, speaking of the Manhattan weir crime, "in the paragraph that described Aaron Burr's dramatic act in holding a pair of lighted candies in the face of a spectator in the courtroom and shouting, 'Gentlemen, here is the real murderer.' I do not question this but I remember that Jere Clemens once a famous United States senator from Alabama, told of a trial in which Burr appeared for the defense of a man charged with murder. My recollection is that the trial was in the southwest. When Burr addressed the jury it was night. The guilty man was in the room. He had been the principal witness for the prosecution, but Burr had learned that this witness was the assassin, and in closing his address for his client he picked up two lighted candies from the table and holding them in the face of the witness referred to, he exclaimed: 'Gentlemen of the jury, there is nature' verdict. Now write yours.' At that moment the witness fled from the room. After Clemens told this story he wrote an historical novel called 'The Rivals; or, The Times of Hamilton and Burr.' In that book he wove the incident into one of the chapters. The book is out of print and has been for many years. But it had a great sale, particularly in the south, before the civil war, for Clemens was a typical southern orator, and a man of wonderful personal magnetism. The object of the novel was to make Burr a hero, and to besmirch Hamilton's character. In one chapter where Burr was high in the esteem of Washington, the latter is represented as reading a letter from Hamilton in which Hamilton detailed some scandalous gossip about Burr. Burr was standing behind Washington during the reading of the letter. Washington incensed at the contents of the letter, turned quickly and saw Burr, to whom he said: 'How dare you read my letter over my shoulder?' Burr, as Clemens represents, stung to the quick, drew himself up and replied with all the hauteur of his nature: 'When your majesty addresses such an inquiry to me in the manner you have, the only reply deceny can prompt is, Aaron Burr dares to do anything.' This, Clemens avers, was the cause of the break between Washington and Burr.' FILTHY PEKING. The Frightfully Usanitary Condition of China's Capital The three chief characteristics of the Chinese capital which most impress the newly arrived visitor are dust, stench and dogs, writes an American from Peking. There has been no rain since June, and the hideous tracks that are dignified by the title of streets are ankle deep in black dust, much of which is pulverized filth. Along the macadamized streets, of which there are three, are open drains. These serve as sewers from which the sewage is dipped and the highways sprinkled. When it dries the pulverizing is resumed, and, in addition to the original compound, the residuum of the tainted water is breathed into the lungs. From the gayety of Japan, with its dainty teahouses, pretty gardens, polite, cheerful people, China is a descent into Avernus. There are two classes—the rich and the poor—since in comparison with the poverty of the very poor, those in comfortable circumstances, the farmers, shopkeepers, and others of like position, must be counted as rich. The one thought—the daily struggle with half the poverty—is to secure food enough to allay the pangs of hunger. In summer they are but half clad, and, in the north in winter, their wadded clothing simply prevents them from freezing to death. They wear no underclothing and the wadded garments, worn for years, left when not in use at the pawnbroker's, are black and stiff with filth and infested with vermin. The houses of the lower classes are wretched in the extreme, the floor of earth or brick, the kang or brick stove bed, and a few poor utensils being the sum of their possessions. While they show great skill in many lines of purely decorative work the Chinese are not the best artisans in the world, especially as carpenters, and the doors and windows are seldom fitted to exclude the piercing winds. Added to this they rarely shut a door, and the windows, covered with paper, which soon becomes ragged and broken, are better adapted to excluding the light than the cold. The people suffer frightfully from chilblains during the winter months, hands and feet being raw and bleeding, and thousands die of pulmonary complaints. Absent-Minded. It was an electric car, and a man was sitting between two women. The man'left the car, and as he passed out an umbrella slid from the seat toward the floor and woman No. 1. She caught it, rushed to the door, had the car stopped and told the conductor to call the man back. The man, however, declined to take what was not his, and so the good Samaritan, leaving the "watershed" in the conductor's hands, regained her seat. Meantime woman No. 2, who had seen and heard the whole performance, suddenly came out of her trance and exclaimed, "Where is my umbrella?" You can imagine the rest of the tale; but it was very funny to see it all.—Milford Journal.

PRECIOUS METALS IN THE ARTS Enormous Quantities Consamed In the | Varlous Industsioa, It is easy to ascerta:n how much golu and silver are absorbed in the coinage of the various nations, but the most careful estimates as to the quantitie. of these metals used in the arts anc industries are only approximate. Stat isticians in the treasury departmen’ of the French government recently un dertook the considerable task of com piling the best information on this sub Ject, and the figures they have reache: are probably as accurate as any tha have yet been published. Most of th: gold used in the arts is for ornamen tation, though it is alzo employed to @ large extent for the most practica. ‘purposes, as in dentistry. It is doubt ful if even jewelry consumes a larger quantity of gold than some other way: in which it is used. The consumption for gilding alone is very large. The films of gold leaf are very thin, but enormous numbers of them are applie« to a considerable variety of manufac- tures, such as signs, jewelry, books, frames, furniture, pottery and other articles, and the aggregate value of the gold thus used is very large. The con- sumption of gold for gilding has con- siderably increased since electro-gild- ing came into vogue,both because more gilding is done and also because the Rew process wastes a considerable quantity of the metal. According to the French figures the United States consumes in the arts about thirty-one thousand, pounds of gild in a year, which amounts in value to $10,000,000 in round numbers. France, however, with her prominent manufactures of Jewelry and other articles of luxury, heads the list with an annua! con sumption of about thirty-five thousand two hundred pounds a year. Great Britain also surpasses the United States with 34,100 pounds, Germany consumes 29,040 pounds, Switzerland 18,900, Italy 11,000, Russia 9,000, Aus- tria-Hungary 6,175, and Belgium and Holland 6,820. Perhaps one reason why the United States consumes in the arts good deal more silver than any other country is because photography here, with its amateur branch, is far more extensively in use than in any other tand. The chief industrial uses of sil- ver are for solid silver plate and silver Plating, mountings for harnesses and other ornamentation, and photography. The silver industries in the United States consume over five hundred and fifty-five thousand pounds a year, Ger- many and France about three hundred and thirty thousand pounds each, Rus- sia 209,000 and Great Britain 208,000. THE USE OF ROUGE. Anclent Modes and Degrees of Practic- Ing the Art. ‘There were many modes and de- grees of practicing and questionable art and a curious little book exists, writ- ten-about-a hundred years ago, when popular opinion on the subject was al- ready undergoing modification, by a “lady of distinetion,” who preferred to remain anonymous, but is vouched for by the editor as especially entitled by position and experience to receive @ respectful hearing, which, dealtng with the art of costume, includes ad- vice on the proper use of cosmetics, says the Nineteenth Century. By this authority white paint, together with ensmel, is unconditionally condemued from the standpoint of morals and taste alike; while, on the other hand, “a little vegetable rouge” is permitted for the purpose of “tingeIng the cheek ot a delicate woman,” so long as it ix not employed for the purpose of de- ception, “What need 1s there, in- deed,” asks the writer, “for any con- cealment in the matter?” “It seems to me,” she continues, “so slight and innocent apparel for the face (a kind of decent veil thrown over the cheek) * © * that I cannot see any shame in the most ingenious female acknowleig- ing that she oceasionally rouges, ‘The one article of rouge is, however, the single species of positive art that, ac- cording to this somewhat arbitrary judge, a woman of integrity can per- mit herself, white enamel, painted lips and penciling of the eyebrows only exciting “contempt for the bad taste and blindness which deems them passable.” What Your Volce Looks Like. To take a picture of your volce it is only necessary to tie a sheet of thin, strong paper over the wide end of tin trampet. Hold it with the sheet of paper upward, take a thin pinch of fine sand and place it in the center of the paper, hold the trumpet vertic- ally above your face and sing a note into the fower end. Do not blow, but sing the note. Lower the trumpet carefully and look at the sand, You will find that the vibrations of your voice have scattered the pinch of sard into a beautiful sound picture. Every note in the musical scale will produce a different picture, so you may produce a great variety of them. Some of these pictures look like pansies, roses ard other flowers; some look like snakes and others like flying birds—in fact, there is no limit to the variation. If you wish to see the pictures while they are being made you may employ sn old bell-shaped ear trumpet, or you may use your trumpet with a short piece of rubber tubing on the mouth- piece.— Answers, A Gentle Hint.

Two Chicago In- dian women, however, are certain of the Joy, and remarkable to relate, they rather undervalue the opportunity,and are decidedly of the opinion that they would much prefer to remain on this side of the ocean. These two women are the Princess Neola, last of the royal family of the Tuscarora Indians, and Blue Wing of the Winnebagos. Neola comes of a family distinguished not only in Indian annals, but in the records of the United States. Her uncle was a military attache to Presi- dent Grant. She is the wife of Mr. George Fuerst, a trapper and guide,and chief assistant to Mr. Thomas R. Rod- dy, who has charge of the Indian ex- wy AG ET ™ r HIS, } iy ae I ii AN ZA HWY /! hibit at the Paris exposition. Neola speaks English fluently and correetly. She was educated by her aunt, Caro- line G. Mountpleasant, the peacemaker queen of the Senecas (Wolf tribe). Mr. and Mrs. Fuerst have a beauti- ful six-year-old son, who will accom- pany them to Paris, whom they call Ock-eok-ah, which means the third child born, In point of physical beauty Ock-cok-ah seems to combine the nobler characteristics of both white and red races. So much of the old belief does Neola yet entertain that when she sets sail she will doubtless consign several balls of red feathers and tobacco to the waves of the stormy Atlantic, ‘These balls will, in Neola’s imagination at least, prevent the evil spirits dwelling beneath the waves from swallowing her soul, and so keep- ing her forever from the happy hunt- ing grounds. But if Neola is superstitious, still more so is Blue Wing of the Winneba- gos. She is a pretty and bashful girl of 18 summers, or thereabouts. Not only is she fearful of the ocean voyage, but she was moved to tears when Mr. Roddy insisted that she have her pho- tograph taken. Blue Wing was edu- cated on a reservation in Nebraska, and all her book learning could not eradicate her belief that sure and sud- den death would follow the photo- graph episode. But her picture was taken last summer, and Blue Wing is still a beautiful and blooming, Indian girl—by no means a spirit. These two women—Neola and Blue Wing—owe their forthcoming visit to Paris to Mr. Roddy’s eloquence in overruling their Indian timidity. And it is Mr. Roddy’s rare power of under- standing the character of the red man which has given him a career more unique than that of any of the Indians in his outfit. City of Crime” The Italian city of Artena, situated about forty miles from Kome, is known as the City of Crime. Ever since the sixteenth century every criminal who has escaped from prison or done his time has emigrated to Artena, and to- day practically every inhabitant is a crimind\ or the child of criminals, Ey- ery family takes the law into its own hands, and it is reported not a day passes without many murders being committed in the streets. The italian authorities have now come to look upon Artena as hopeless, and remark that it is far better that criminals should kill criminals than that inno- cent persons should be the.r victims. It is said that on one occasion, when 23 murders had been committed in that city in one day, the fact was re- ported in one of the Italian papers in the following terms: “Since our last issue (24 hours before) there have been 23 sudden deaths in Artena.” And no further notice of the murders was taken or expected. ‘de tain tle Wada Sess Experiments in the Sibley laboratory at Cornell (N. Y.) university have shown that an alloy of aluminum and zine possesses remarkable qualities. It is white and takes a fine finish, and is equal in strength to cast iron, but su- perior fn elasticity. On the other hand it melts at so low a temperature that it can be liquefied in a ladle over an open fire. In the lquid form it fills a mould, running into all the smal! parts much better than brass, but it is more brittle than brass. Its use does away with the foundry furnace, and {ts technical advantages are obvious. The strength of this metal is 50,000 pounds per soware tuck. LONGEVITY OF THE JEWs. nates ne oe ty aie tees tee oe Alble for That Condition, From time immemorial physical vigor has been considered an essentia! condition to longevity, and yet the Jews falsify this condition, Physically the Hebrew is poorly developed. Cen- turies of oppression have stamped cu: his physical vigor, if not his vitality. The European Jew is undersized, ani markedly so, His mental vigor, how- ever is unimpaired, and probably on the whole is superior to his neightor's He is a city dweller and betrays the inherent dislike for hard manual labor or for physical exercise or exertion in any form. He is averse to out-ot-door sport, He prefers to live by his brain, rather than his muscle. His chest ca Pacity is limited, and he possesses many other features of physical de- generacy. In fact, his physical make. up is what one would expect to find in @ short-lived man. And here is a sui- prising feature. Possessing so few of ‘the elements so tong considered as ‘Mecessary to longévity, the Jew i probably the longest lived of any race of people now in existence. His ténac- ity of life is remarkable. In spite of the social conditions which surround the mass of the Hebrew population the world over, and especially 1m the larg. cities of America, where they form a large percentage of the popuiation, the death rate among the Jéwish in- habitants is but little over half of that of the average American population Prof. William Z. Ripley, in his papers ‘on the racial geography of Europe in the Popular Science Monthly, dis cusses the question very ably and very fully. He states that if two groups of infants each, one Jewish and one of average American parentage, be born upon the same day, one-half of the Americans will die within 47 years while the first half of the Jews will not succumb to disease before the expira tion of 71 years, According to Lom broso, of 1,000 Jews born 217 die be fore the age of 7 years, while 45: Christians, more than twice as many are likely to die within the same pe- riod. The immunity of the Jewish population from aczident oh account of their indoor occupation, will accoun | for some of the discrepancy, but on this very account they should be morc liable to epidemic and other disease This Is not wholly true, however. They show an abnormally small proportion of deaths from consumption and pnex monia, which are responsible for th: largest proportion of deaths among th American population. Prof. Ripley ascribes their immunity from this, a: well as from other diseases, to the ex. cellent system of meat inspection pre- | seribed by the Mosaic law. Hoffman says that in London as much as one- third of the meats offered for sale are rejected as unfit for consumption by the Jews. Probably the temperate habits for which the Jews, as a race, are noted will account to some extent for their longevity. AN ASPIRING CAT. ‘This family cat is certainly a tam fly's pride. It is not every cat that ha: the common sense to climb a ladder and rest quietly while the photogra pher makes a picture. Every cat hasn't common sense, anyway, for somé members of the feline race don’t know enough to leave alone the backyard fence at midnight. But here is 1 graceful exception to the rule. Prob: ably kitty has been trained from childhood to “do tricks” such as this. and educated cats are very interesting One frequently sees troupes of trained dogs on the stage, but troupes ot trained cats are almost unknown.

What Congress is Doing—Notes From the White House and the Departments. Henry A. Hazen, professor of meteorology and a forecaster at the weather bureau in this city, was fatally injured Monday night by being thrown from his bicycle. His skull was fractured and he died the next day. Kentucky Republicans are trying to induce President McKinley to interfere in behalf of Governor Taylor of that state. The President refuses on the ground that the courts are the proper means for settling the controversy. The present policy of the administration and of the leaders in Congress is to have the Philippines permanently retain their own tariff against the United States and all other countries, giving all other nations the same trade advantages that are enjoyed by the United States in accordance with the "open-door" principle. The Senate committee on military affairs has reported favorably on Senator Warren's bill directing that a monument be built to mark the site of the Fort Phil Kearney massacre, which occurred December 21, 1806, near where the city of Buffalo, Wyoming, is now located. The public lands committee reported favorably Mr. Warren's bill donating 50,000 acres of land to the Wyoming Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Cheyenne. The Hephur-Morgan Nicaraguan canal bill will be passed during the present session of Congress. Speaker Henderson is in favor of the bill and of prompt action. Senator Frye, president pro tempore of the Senate, wants action by the Senate, and expresses the belief that the bill will be passed at an early date. The measure will receive the approval of the President. These statements are fully warranted by a canvass of the two houses. The Senate committee has closed the hearing on the bill to establish a form of government in Puerto Rico and has released Governor General Davis, who has been here to assist with his advice and information. Senator Foraker is preparing the report and revising his original bill to conform with the views of the committee. Speaking generally, it is proposed to place Puerto Rico on the some footing as the territories of the United States, with free trade in all respects. Secretary Gage was before the House committee on coinage, weights and measures the other day and spoke in favor of the adoption of the metric system. Mr. Gage also referred to the need of fractional silver currency. He pointed out that at present the demand for fractional coin was so urgent that the issue ran considerably beyond the $50,000,000 authorized by law, and he recommended that this legal restriction be repealed, leaving the treasury to determine the proportion of fractional coin necessary. The Republican caucus of the Senate has decided definitely upon the re-organization of the elective officers of that body and nominated Hon. Charles Bennett of New York for secretary, to succeed Hon. William R. Cox, and Hon. Dan M. Ransdell of Indiana for sergeant-at-arms, to succeed Colonel Pleigh. No selection was made for chaplain, which will have the effect of continuing the blind chaplain, William H. Milburn, in that office. The allotment of the minor offices was placed in the hands of the caucus committee. The record in the "open door" matter is almost complete. All the nations involved except Italy and Japan have submitted in writing the guaranty requested by Secretary Hay that the merchants and manufacturers of the United States shall have equal rights and privileges in the Chinese markets. Italy and Japan, the only nations to be heard from, have also responded, although the latter have been received. This completes one of the most notable and important achievements in the diplomatic history of the United States. Senator Clark of Montana is the most accomplished linguist in Congress, although he never had the benefit of a college training. He obtained all his education in the common schools at Mount Pleasant, Iowa, up to the time he was twenty-one years old. He acquired his knowledge of foreign tongues since he became rich, and the Italian has been a diversion from the mental and physical labor of looking after his vast estates. He speaks, reads and writes all the languages named, and is familiar with their literature. Representative White of North Carolina, the only colored representative in the House has reported a bill for "the protection of all citizens of the United States against mob violence," etc. It provides that all persons shall be protected from being murdered, tortured or burned to death by mobs known as lynching bees, whether spontaneous or premeditated, and all spontaneous participants, aiding or abetting in such affairs are made guilty of treason against the United States government and subject to prosecution in the United States courts. The reports of the committee on privileges and elections in the case of Ms. Quay, who claims a seat in the United States Senate on the strength of an appointment from the governor of Pennsylvania, were presented in the Senate Tuesday. The majority report, opposing the seating of Mr. Quay, was signed by Senators Caffery, Pettus, Turley, Harris and Burrows, the last-named the only Republican sign it. The minority report bears the signatures of Senators Hoar, Chandler, Pritchard and McComas, all Republicans and advocates of giving the seat to Mr. Quay. Enormous crowds were present today to witness the opening of the debate in the Roberts case. Fully three-fourths of the spectators were women. Principal interest centered in the speech of the accused congressman, and after Chairman Taylor of the committee had read the majority report favoring the barring of the man from Utah and the report that minority favoring him seated and the minority held Mr. Littlefield, representing the minority, challenged Mr. Taylor's authorities, the principal interest, however, centered on the speech of the man from Utah, who followed Mr. Littlefield in a speech of an hour and a kick. The second day's debate in the House upon the Roberts case was less dramatic than that of Tuesday. Mr. Roberts was not present during the day. Had he been he would have heard the most scathing excorlation of the Mormons ever delivered upon the floor of the house. Mr. Landis of Indiana, the young orator who distinguished himself during the last Congress in an oratorical duel with Mr. Johnson of his state, won new laurels. He charged that Utah had been admitted to the Union as a result of a Mormon conspiracy, and reviewed the history of the apostles of the church, whom he charged with living in open and flagrant violation of the state law against polygamy, to show that they had basely broken their solemn pledge to the government. Mr. Tracewell, the comptroller of the treasury, has rendered a decision to the effect that common carriers which do an interstate business and give "party rates" to the theatrical and other organizations, must give the same rates to the general public under similar conditions, and also to the government in the transportation of troops. He says: "A second question involved is whether these party rates are subject to reduction when the service is rendered to the government by the free or the fifty per cent, land grant railroads. The ground upon which I hold that the government is subject to the benefit of party rates is that salaries are available for the general public and therefore for the government. As party rates are charges, the general public in cases like those now under consideration no more than fifty per cent, of said rates can be charged." The treasury officials say that favoritism has not been shown in making deposits of public money with national banks, for such deposits have never been refused when bonds accompanied it as security. They further say that no complaint or criticism of the present system of depositing public funds has ever been received from a bank or a banker or any other financial or commercial association of any sort, because they are familiar with the methods of the Treasury Department and approve them. The only complaints and criticisms have appeared in the newspapers or have been made by politicians for political effect. There are depositories of public money designated as depositories of public money, and today last the amount intrusted to them was $66,17,000. Of these nineteen are in Illinois, thirteen in Indiana, eight in Michigan, eight in Wisconsin, twelve in Iowa, seven in Kansas, six in Nebraska, and twenty-three in Ohio. The War Department has made public a statement showing the imports at the port of Manila for the three months of July, August and September last, being the first official data relating to imports during so long a period since American occupation. The total value of merchandise entered at the Manila custom house from the three months named was $5,802,581. In addition there was $52,520 in gold coin and $255,294 in silver coin from British India, and $332,707 in silver coin from China, bringing the aggregate of imports up to $6,443,102, or at the rate of more than $25,300,000 a year from Manila alone. The growing nature of the trade is shown by a comparison with the amounts for all Philippine exports during the fifteen years ending in 1894, during which time the average yearly imports of the archipelago only amounted to $17,039,044, or approximately two-thirds of the valuation indicated by the trade of three months ending with September, 1889, for Manila alone. The case of Brigham H. Roberts, the Mormon representative-elect from Utah, which has occupied so much of the attention of the House since the assembling of Congress, was decided Thursday by the adoption of a resolution to exclude him, by a vote of 268 to 50. The exact language of the resolution was as follows: "That under the facts and circumstances of the case, Brigham H. Roberts, representative-elect from the state of Utah, ought not to have or hold a seat in the House of Representatives and that the seat to which he is elected is hereby declared vacant." The amendment to expel Mr. Roberts without seating him, offered by Mr. Lacey, was ruled out on a point of order and the House only voted on the resolutions of the majority and minority of the committee. The latter—to seat and then expel Mr. Roberts—was defeated, 81 to 244. The majority resolutions to exclude Mr. Roberts and declare the seat vacant, were adopted, 268 to 50. The affirmative vote was divided as follows: Republicans, 164; Democrats, 90; Populists, 14, and the negative vote: Democrats, 47; Silver Republicans, 2; Populists, 1. There were over a score of speakers to-day, and the closing speeches on each side were particularly able. Mr. Lanham of Texas closed for the majority and Mr. De Armond of Missouri for the minority. The sixteenth annual report of the United States Civil Service Commission has been submitted to the President. The report, while containing much information of value concerning the operations of the commission during the year, deals with a number of subjects of general public interest. The remarks of the commission on the importance of a merit system in our colonel possessions; the need of making some disposition of superannuated employees; the improvement shown in the reduction of the percentage of reeling from throughout the service resulting from the loss of the commission; and the order of the President of July 27, 1897, looking to its enforcement, and the advantages to be gained by the classification of the force of the library of Congress and the municipal service of the District of Columbia, deserve special attention at this time. The report opens with a preliminary statement in regard to the extent of the classified and unclassified service, from which it appears that there are approximately 75,000 classified positions and 107,000 unclassified positions; of the latter, 71,007 are occupied by fourth-class postmasters. There are 19,446 positions in the executive service in the District of Columbia, and more than 162,000 distributed more than 40,000 territories. The commission states that the expenditures for salaries for the entire classified and unclassified, is approximately $104,000,000 per annum, a large increase having resulted from the war with Spain. The total number of appointments made during the year on certificates of the commission was 9,556. Home Comfort Range Family, Restaurant and Hotel Sizes Wrought Iron Range Co., 1519 Denver - Colo.
