stringent. Among the provisions of the law are the division of the city into election pre- cincts, containing only four hundred and fifty voters each, and the ordering of what is perhaps the most stringent registration law now in use in any city. Sworn clerks, liable to heavy penalties in default of duty, are obliged to canvass each precinct before election, visiting the residence of every sus- pected voter and making a report of each fraudulent registry. In all cases where officials of any kind-clerks, inspectors, judges or canyassing boards-neglect or omit any duty for any reason whatsoever, penalties are imposed of the most vigorous kind. The provisions for the enforcement well be shirked.
 What is called "telpherage" company has been organized in London and recently open ed at Glynde, in Sussex, light elevated electric railroad, to be applied to the trans portation of clay from a pit to freight rail road track few miles distant. The equip ment consists of shaped posts, eighteen feet high, set about as far apart as telegraph poles, and supporting rods on which run trough-shaped buckets or cars each carry ing about two hundred pounds These are made up into trains and are propelled by an electric motor. The grade of the road cor responds approximately to the inequalities of the country, but the motor regulates it's own speed and travels up hill or down with equal ease. The company is confident that it can reduce the cost of hauling in rough regions from dollar or two a ton per mile to a few cents.

 duet.
 From the Philadelphia Timesl
 ssLook out, therei' s'Hit himl' ''Stand back" A chorus of cries and yells, rush of frightened men, women and children, greasers and soldiers, and small but vicious broncho dashed madly into the large build ing devoted to the annual territorial fair at Albuquerque. Everybody made a rush for the wall as the runaway animal tore town the narrow lane formed of fruits, minerals and various goods illustrating the natural rs- sources of the country, and by the time he was half way down the building it was near ly empty. The heat was a short one, as close after the animal came two cowboys, also on dead run who, regardless of the surround ings, were whirling their rope lariats, and by the time the broncho had reached the end of the hall he was secured by the twain and brought to with round turn in the midst of fashion bazaar. The crowd now returned and their shouts and cheers greeted the cow boys who had so skillfully captured the run I away, and who now proceeded to haul him out. The curious part of this escapade was that, though the broncho trailed long rope behind in his mad gallop, not an object in any of the booths was disturbed or inj jured. "That was close shave" said major to the writer. ''Them cowboys beat the deck. You've seen these burros round the streets here tOtln' NavaJos? Well, l was riding down in the old town, down by the Rio Grande-that's it where the sand ridges rises just in front of the old craters-and was go- ing along just about as we are now, when I heard regular Apache whoop, looked up and there was three cowboys coming down the road, their hair and the bronchos' tails sticking out as straight board They were taking the whole street and were going to keep it, so pulled up alongside the fence, but there was gang of burros with Indians on and they didn't have time to move.
 stScairts Why, them Indians fairly turned a shade paler, for the cowboys didn't stop. When they reached the burros they just rig in the air and went over lem, hitting the In dians over the heads with the lariats as they went and disappeared in a cloud of dust. Don't make any mistake, they kin ride from the word go."
 The major was right, as was later proven. As we followed up the captured broncho large enclosure appeared, in which numbers of mounted cowboys, armed with lariat and spur, were riding about. In fact it was 8 big day for Albuquerque, the third day of the territorial exhibition, and all the Cover nors, ex-Governors, generals and other titled individuals in this territory and Arizona were in town The editorr and Governors were distinguished by high silk hats as rule The others affected the white, wide -brimmed | sombrero, business like and rakish.

TOO BUSY FOR BUSINESS.
A Texas Landlord Who Was Deeply
 Interested in His Newspaper.

From the Chicago Ledger.l
 A traveller landed at wayside tavern in Texas early one morning, and, after sitting around without discovering any signs of breakfast until an appetite like mustard plaster began gnawing, he walked up to the landlord, who was behind the counter bent nearly double over newspaper, in which he was tracing the lines of a thrilling romance with his forefnger as he puffed away at an old cob pipe.
 "What time do you have breakfastg" he said
 The man behind the bar never moved. The traveller thumped on the counter with his knuckles to attract attention, and again said, much louder than before: ''When do you have breakfast" "Heys' said the landlord, with his face still buried in the newspaper. "When do you have breakfast!' "'Most every day." ''Is this one of the lucky days!' "Hehs" eAre you going to have breakfast to-day"' 'sI reckon more'n like we will.' ''How soon do you suppose it will be
 ready?'' 'T don't 'spose nothin' about it." Whats the reason you don't" ''Coz don't know" "When do you generally have it?" "When the coffee biles." | ''Has the fire been started yet?" ''I don't know nothin' about it'' 1 "What's the rerson you don't" | ''Coz don't care cuss." 'sSee here old man, ain't you the land l 1orda'' | ''I reckon mebbe I am." | 'Well then, I'd like to have you tell me who's running this tavern" The old man raised his head, gave the l stranger a look that made his flesh creep | and said: s'Well, sometimes the niggers runs it | sometimes the old woman gives 1t a Whlrl l sometimes the cussed thing sorter wobble' l along fo1 itself, and then agin sometimes gives it hist myself, and every once in { | while some lantern jawed, knock-kneed so1 of tiger like you comes along, and want | to try his hand at maxim it spin; but abou | the time he gets to shootin' his mouth tot free he takes a notion to go to the horse | trough and soak his head, and after that heh

 Just then a darky stepped into the bacl

How beautiful are the above lines uttered by the worlds greatest mind !! How infinite the scope of mans power if his facul- ties are we'll preserved. Nothing, short of creation, is to him impossible. Our soul is lost in admiration when we contemplate the possibilities of this greatest exhibition of Infinite Pow CT. Yet what is this quEnt- essence of dust when blast ed by disease noble functions perverted or des- trOyed?
 As ''alI men are born f..aa end ezk.s-. 2 2. z.1ss 2 s.-..zzzsssss moral rights are concerned, so likewise we hold they should be born physically, but as long as children must suf- fer for the sins of their parents this cannot be. That the human race has deteriorated physically is a conceded question. To re- store it is an impOssibility, as long as people persist in immOr- ality and indulgencies which are in disregard of natures laws. The most we can do then is to ameliOrate this condition and cure disease in individuals. To this end we offer to the pulp lie remedies which have done more good, accomplished better results in Oyerthrowing disease than any others which have been discovered up to the present time, viz:
 DIR. FLOWERS LIVER AND STOMACH SANATIVE AND NERVE PILLS.
 The former is an infallible rem edy for all affections of the Liver and Stomach, and is besides an invaluable general tonic. The latter is reliable cure for all nervous diseases and conditions, such as Hysteria, Sleeplessness, Nervous PrOstratiOn, Depression caused by OverWOrk, etc. l These remedies are extensive ly prescribed by physicians, g. recommendation which does not obtain with any other prOprie- tary article, and command at the hands of the druggists in New England a largr sale than any other medicine.
 HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BOTTLES SOLD THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE ECOMPLAINT THAT THEY FAILED TO DO WHAT IS CLAIMED FOR THEM. This we hold is an unparalleled record of success, and the strongest proof of their excellence. AS positive evidence we have thousands of testimonials which we will be pleased to show, but which space prevents publishing. The trial of one bottle will be sufficient to satisfy you that we make no false claims. A valuable pamphlet will be mailed free upon applica- tiOn.

 A French scientist, M. Duclaux, has re- gently been conducting some experiments

 darkness is essential to the life of many dis

 more in the dark, lose vitality under such sunlight in a few days or few weeks. The bearing of this upon the construction of healthy dwelling houses is apparent. There is a good deal of real pluck in Gal veston ''The soul of the city is not dis turbed," says the Galveston News; "the busy marts of commerce go on as if nothing l had happened; the prompt manner in which | citizens assembled to make provision for the impoverished and distressed shows the spirit | that animates the city.

Uienis O Bigamist.

On our first page we print two
clippings from exchanges, one
stating that Dieuis, the phrenolo-
gist who lectured in Dawson sew
eral nights since, had married
Miss Stokes, Of Smithvi]le, and
the other saying that the gay pro-
fessor already had wife. Since
then we learn from exchanges
that he actually has wife in Sa-
vannah, which completely knocks
Miss Stokes beautiful little ro-
nance out of joint. The unsus-
pecting maiden finds out, after it
is too. late, that men betray, and
that her new-made husband is a
man of Mormon proclivities.
1t turns out that Dieuis has an
other living wife who was daugh-
ter of the late Judge Williams, of
Camden, Ala. She was o widow
when she married Dieuis. His
marriage to the young widow,whose
former husband was named Hitch
cock, was a very sudden affair and
SO incensed the citizens of Cam
den that they hung the professor
in effigy. He afterwards went to
Jacksonville, then to Savannah,
his wife following him. In the
latter city the professor distin-
guished himself by getting on a
rampage, firing d pistol and threat
ening the determination of the
family and mankind in general.
He was arrested. Shortly after
ward the home he occupied was
burned, and the furniture, on
which was an insurance policy,
was destroyed. He obtained $500
and started for Atlanta, where he
was followed by his wife. Moth
ing more was heard of the pair
until the notice in thespapers of
his marriage with Miss Stokes.
The last heard of Dieuis he and
wife No. 2 were on the train go
ing towards Alabama.
LATER:-Since the above was
put in type telegram announces
that Dieuis has been arrested in
Newton, Miss, and brought back
to Georgia to answer the charge
which IS preferred against him.
