N Capital: Lots of interesting facts art
developed by the census returns. Every
body knows that Texas Is the larges
state IN the Union and that Rhode. Is
land is the smallest, but few people
would have thought that the disparity
between them was so great that they
stand to each other almost in the rela
ton Of r250to /. Yet the official fig
ures show that the Lone Star state has
an area of e62, $50 square miles, while
Little Rhody" has but 1885. Out in
Nevada there is a single county-Nyt
by name--which is more than twenty
times the size of the little New England
state, while the smallest county in the
whole country-New- YOIk-has the
largest population.

Guiteau, it appears, has his disciples
already in theology and practice. Miss
Cummings, of Fredonia, Chautauqau
county, who, according to the Fredonia
papers, is beautiful, highly educated
young woman and a teacher in that
town, has given up, within the last
month, to shoplifting and burglary, with
a young man from Buffalo as her con-
federate. They confessed their guilt,
but claimed to have acted under al ain
spiFation Of the Deity" The inspira-
tion in this case guided them to take
only silk dresses, China tea-sets, silver
and other knick.knacs which would
come in nicely in housekeeping. There
have been in ali ages, in different coun-
tries, epidemics Of certain peculiar
kinds az crime. Suicide, murder by as.
estimation and poisoning, and thefl
have proved as contagious Is smallpox
but this new felony, which calls itself
''inspiration," is the shrewdesto Of all in
] looking after the main chance.

The Atlanta cotton exposition which
recently closed may be regarded as in
every way successful, and will be pro-
ductive of great good. Its spirit of
competition has not only invigorated
the old industries of the south, but has
brought into being and given an impetus
TO many new enterprises. In fact il
seems to have opened the eyes of the
people of the south generally to their
great natural advantages in the race for
wealth, and all the good that the neY
era OF unprecedented prosperity can
bring. Thus may the chains of section
alism be broken.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O-The Utah

good portion of the week. 1t arose on
a question of order as TO whether Mr.
Campbell, who comes with the certifi-

on the fact that he received large ma.

lions enter into the contest as to Mr..
Cannon's title.
The one as to his citizenship is to be
determined, as is also whether or not in
the absence of proof of naturalization,
Mr.. Campbell is entitled to a seat Mr.

Topeka Topics.

topeka, Jan. IAN effort was made
lsst night TO assassinate Frank Herald
attorney for John P. Cole in his prose
cutien of L. n. Barnes for blackmall.
This very sensational development IN
the Barnes divorce and Cole-Barnes
blackmail cases, mentioned in these
dispatches, is quite mystery. Herald
had Barnes arrested. but no good evil
denee has been produced TO show that
Barnes vas guilty of the crime. The
attempt was made last night about IL
O'Clock, some one firing q shot through
the window of Herald's house.
and narrowly missing his aim.
Two men were seen TO run away
from the house soon aftefwaTd,
but they could not be identified or traced.
The ministers of the city are consider
ing ways and means to secure the en-
forcement OF the Sunday law in closing
of the theater Sunday nights. TxoSun-
day night performances have been given
lately ct CfaWfor6's opera house, and
this has provoked the good people Of
the city to indignation. The ministers,
at their regular Monday meeting next
week, will have q report on the subject,
and there is nc doubt but that they will
be supported not only by the church
people but by public sentiment general
