QUESTIONS ANS WERED,

The Louisville Courier-Journal pro-
pounded questions to the members OF
congress. Only four responses were
received from this state, and they are by
Republicans, as follows:
Mr.. CaswelI: I do not think | would
favor a change of the rules. as suggested,
for the reason that it would tend to en-
large the appropriations; each committee
would work its bill up to an excess.
T would suspend the coinage of the
silver dollar. 80
The tax on tobacco should be modified,
and the wool tariff should he raised.
am in favor of Frank Hiscock tor the
caucus nominee for speaker.
Mr.. Price: I would amend the rules
as indicated iu the first question.
would let the coinage and currency
laws stand as they are.
Some slight changes should be made
in cur tariff and internal revenue laws,
if it were not for the fact that the agita-
ton of the question would probably
work more injury than the needed changes
would produce benefits.
MT. v du GCUdiCk. dii nv ppi'poSu
to silver coinage, but it must be worth
1OOcents on the dollar, or equal to gold
dollar
am strong protection man in every
sense of the word. Some few changes
may be necessary.
Mr.. Guenther: In reply to the first
question, answer in the affirmative.
am in favor of a suspension, or, at
least, a restriction, of the present coinage,
and of an increase of the number of
grains in the silver dollar, so as to make
it equivalent in value to the gold dollar.
I do not see any necessity for changing
the tariff law at present. Some articles
might be required to pay higher duty
than at present, but it would be best, in
my opinion, to let the tariff alone alto
gether.
Alcohol for technical and mechanical
uses should be freed of any tax. Should
we suffer from an excess of money in the
treasury, reduce the tax on tobacco, af-
terward on spirits.
[ am in favor of Reed or Hiscock for
speaker.

The air was still as death, and there was not
q puff of wind nor a rag of cloud in the whole
horizon. 1 observed, however, that the sky
had undergone a curious change. There was
no diminution of the blazing sunlight, but
the deep blue had been superseded by a
strange white glare that was nearly binding,
and the heat had increased rather than dmin-
ished. We saddled hastily, and were soon
threading our way through the broiliDg lab
yrinth of sand-hills and out on to the broad
mesa. We had not gone more than mile or
two in the direction of Espanoa when Joe,
who had been glancing about in all directions,
suddenly remarked, There she comes !" and
jumping off his burro, commenced tying him
up behind an adjacent heap of large bowl
ders. We stared in the direction he pointed,
but could discover nothing save the white sky,
the hills, and the sandy plains. Aswe looked,
however, we gradually became aware that far
down the valley two or three of the hills had
entirely disappeared, and, stranger still, that
more of them were being eaten up under
our very eyes! A little brownish- black
cloud, no bigger than ones hand, was the
monster that was thus devourng the land
scape. We hastily secured the animals the
shelter of the rocks, and came back to look.
The cloud had already spread quite across the
plain and valley, and was approaching with
frightful rapidity. It was not more than five

In the face of religious regulations of some
thousands Of years standing This is their
trouble among the Hebrow population, who
keep geese, ducks and hens in their houses
in order that they may be slaughtered daily
according to Mosaic rites. Sanitary regula
tions have always forbidden this, and repeat
edly these abodes have been cleaused, the
fowls vanished and the tenements cleaned out,
only to find them in the same condition i'm.
mediately afterward. In fact, the plea Of re-
ligious requirements has saved the Hebrews
from the absolute enforcement Of the law,
and the board Of health now hesitate for fear
of the cry Of religious persecution. Now,
however, the health commissioners have de-
termined that forbearance can no longer be
extended. The Hebrews are to be warned
that the regulations against keeping fowls in
dwelling. houses will DO enforced TO the point
of making arrests, and May is to be the
limit But the exigency has also suggested
a very simple, common. sense provision, ,-
namely, that the Hebrews shall be permitted
to establish market for poultry, under in.
spection, where all the fowls needed by their
community shall be- kept aud slaughtered AZ
they are needed Nobody can find fault with
that scheme, and it is hardly credtable to
the sanitary service of great city that it has
not been thought Of before.

GUARDING GARFIELD's BoDY-MRs GAR
FIELDS EsTATE.-It is reported that the war
department will soon make the inquiry how
long the military guard that has been station.
ed at Garfeld's grave is desired. The an
swer will probably be that it is advisable to
keep it until the monument is completed.
The United States army is not so much oc-
cupied that a small detail of men cannot
well be spared 10 watch the grave of the mar
tyr President. The body of General Gar
field now lies in vault in Lake View ceme-
terry at Cleveland, near the foot of the grav-
oily bluff over which runs the principal drive
of the cemetery. It is in the oasket which
was furnished at New York city. Near it,
night and day, Federal soldier stands guard
as sentinel. There were rumors soon after
Garfield was buried that the body snatohers
had formed plan to dssecTate his grave, but
no such attempt has been made 1t, per-
haps, is forgotten that years after Lincoln
was dead vandals attempted to despoil his
tomb at Springfield, and succeeded in NOV
ing the heavy stone slab over the vanlt but
they did not have an opportunity to interfere
with the casket. Lake View cemetery is on
one of the high sandy bluffs which overlook
the country, SIX miles from the city. From
the highest point in it a distant view of the
lake, which is several miles away, is obtaina-
BILE. Upon this bluff the monument of Gen.
Garfield is to be placed, It ia to cost $780,
600, and is approaching completion.
According TO reliable information Mrs
Garield's estate is probably accurately de-
scribed as follows The subscription raised
through the instrumentslIty of Cyrus Field
aggregated, when invested in government
bonds, about 1912 600 Gen. Garields life
was insured for $4,000, payment OF which
the companies promptly made. Congress
also voted her the remnant of the salary
which would have been due Gen. Garfield
for the first year of service as President,
which amounted to $4,000. The little es-
safe which Garfield left aggregated some $50,
900. This was all that he had been able to
accumulate after life of unusual activity.
This makes her total estate in round num-
bers, about $3.50, 900 in money we'll invested.
From this an income of probably SIG 600 is
derived. In addition TO that she has from
Congress an annual pension of $4,000, which
is now voted to the widows of all ex-Presi-
