Some of these temperance papers oc-
casionally hit the nail on the head. The
Ripon Free Press, one of the strongest
temperance papers in this country, has
the following: "A New Yorker has
been fined $500 for giving tobacco TO a
giraffe in Central Park, yet man who
sells whisky to children and minors is
seldom fined over $50. The morals of
the giraffe must be protected even il the
children do go wrong" Don'tthe Free

in New York can be had for simply TAX
ing them away from the premisese

THERE is q report from San Francis
co that Chinese cheap labor has become
drug in the market I'LL along the coast.
Occidental John has he'd hard row to
hoe. 1t has become more and more
difficult for him to get work. The num-
Der of unemployed Chinese now walk
ing the streets of San Francisco is great
er than ever before and daily increases,
Notwithstanding the fact that the Anti
Chinese law has put stop to immigra-
ton. Mine owners and railroad con-
tractors find that "Chinese cheap labor"
is not really cheap and are dispensing
with It and employing white men. The
heaviest contractor on the Northern
Pacific declares that there is no profit
in poorly paid Mongolian labor, and
the same discovery has been made by
the Canadian Pacific contractors. The
Chinaman is weak in comparison with
the American and European races, and
as the effectiveness of labor is the meas
ure of its value, from an economic point
of view, it follows naturally that in the
ordinary employments requiring great
strength and endurance the low-priced
little yellow race must give way to men
of larger mould and better muscle

THERE was an extraordinary we'd
ding near South Covington, KY, re-
Gently, when George f. Kyle, age four
teen, was. married to Lizzie May Hol-
lingshead, age thirteen, at the house
of the groom's parents. The bride is
an orphan, and in order to obtain a
license the groom's father qualified as
her guardian. This is not a shrewd
device to obtain fortune, for all the
parents concerned are comparatively
poor, and nobody seems TO know any
reason for such premature alliance.
1.-THE BRIDE" says The Cincinnati En-
quirer, sis not voluptuous looking
girl, and, in fact, resembles a child
that had not passed the spanking age,
and the groom was not much her SUI
perior in this respect. The bride was
modestly and neatly attired, and re-
sembled a little girl that was dressed for
her first attendance at children's party.
There was none of that style of love that
is generally displayed at wedding, and
when the minister pronounced them
man and wife they faced each other for
a moment, and suddenly the childish
groom bashfully embraced his diminu-
tive bride. 1t was rather strange
sight, and looked more like children's
mock marriage than solemn reality"

ONE of the characteristics of the Ute
Indians is their adherence of all objects
which might serve to remind them of
acts of violence and death among them
selves. Mr.. Richard Sylvester, the dis
bursting officer of the Ute Commission,
has lately mentioned two instances of
this trait, one of them impressive and
the other ridiculous. When they had
buried their second chief, Waro, who
recently died of pneumonia, they shot
his ponies over his grave, buried his
tepee and cast into the flames every OBJ
ject which had been identified with him.
A few days before this the head chief,
Sapevanaro, who is opposed to educa-
ton, had dispute with member of
the tribe who wished to send his chill
dren to school. Finally, when argu-
ments had failed, the chief seized a
quart bottle of ink and broke il over his
opponents head, much to the detriment
of that organ and of the walls and fur
niture of the room. Thereupon the rest
of the Indians in great dismay set to
work at removing the evidence of the
conflict, and whatever could not be CON-
pletely cleansed was destroyed. Finally
only stained map remained, and the
Utes were determined to burn that
also, but as it was the only one at the
agency the officers interfered; at which
the superstitious creatures bitterly COM
planned.

GENERAL NOTES.

THE assertion that the new bridge OF
the New-York, Lake Erie and Western
Railroad, four miles from Alton, is the
highest railroad viaduct in the world,
is disputed by La Nature, which claims
that pre-. eminence for the bridge of
Garabit, France. That remarkable
structure is 1900 feet long, and near
the middle of the great central arch the
distance from the bed of the river to the
rail is 413 teet. The length and maxi
mum height of the Erie bridge are said
to be respectively 2,O51 and SO1 feet.
THE two carpenters, Cardeillac and
Gautier, who were instrumental in get
ting up the illegal demonstration in
Paris on March 9, have declined sum-
mons to appear before a magistrate in
the following polite and considerable
manner: "We have the honor to declare
to you that we cannot comply with your
invitation at the time mentioned. We
have just got work, and we have been
too long idle to afford the loss of a
halliday, and to find ourselves once
more thrown on the streets of Paris
without employment. We are, however,
quite at your disposal any evening after
6 o'clock"

moved to indianapolis tomorrow.
At an informal meeting of the passenger
agents of the east-bound trunk lines to-day
it was discovered that the Grand Trunk had
been selling half-fare tickets to commercial
travellers on Saturday from Detroit to Chi
cago A representative of that road explained
that it was done on petition of the Com
mercial Travellers Association, in order to
allow members to spend Sunday with their
families, but as other roads objected it
would be withdrawn.
1t is stated in this connection that the
drummers are preparing to make united
demand upon tie roads on Jan. for special
tickets at rates lower than at present given
them, for special privileges in the way of
extra-weight baggage, for reduced rates on
excess baggage, and for special Saturday
rates from all points.
