The Rabbit urep.

The Lancaster NeWs says: both jack
and cotton-tail rabbits were, perhaps,
never before so numerous as they appear
now in this valley. In the neighbor-
hood of grain fields and young orchards
and vineyards they are doing great
deal Of damage, demonstrating the folly
of planting trees or vines without pro-
lection by proper fences. There is op-
portunity for those who enjoy shooting
these rodents to make wonderful records
of their destructive ability, and in the
cool, fresh air Of the mornings and even
ings, when this game is numerous
ly abroad, enjoy not only the sport
but rare health-giving exercise. The
city sportsmen who are pining for
this sort Of pleasure would do well to
spend q week or two in this valley, TAX
ing care, however, Rot to mistake ante
lope and deer or wild horses for rabbits.
They are also very fat, especially in the
neighborhood of the grain fields, and
excellent eating for those who are fond
of this kind of flesh. 1t has been sug-
gested that a rabbit canning factory
might be started here with q promise of
profit. These quadrupeds have eaten
up 10000 young forest trees for citi-
zen OF Los Angeles, who will take stock
in such q cannery.

A had Field.

AT FL Paso, Texas, a Brooklyn lady,
Miss Arabella Field, was found dead OF
apoplexy in the bathroom at the Grand
Central Hotel Her only brother was
killed in the war, and she left her estate
to the Woman's Missionary Society of
New York. Recently her father, who
had been absent in California for forty.
two years, appeared on the scene and
lays claim to one-half Of the property
donated to the society on the ground
that by the laws of New York, where
Miss Field lived, persons leaving parents
or children cannot bequeath more
than one half of their estates
to benevolent institutions. 1t appears
that Miss Field, although in almost con.
stant communication with her father,
and from whom she received from time
to time money for expenses and taxes on
the property he had given herself and
brother, went into court and took oath
that he was dead. She did this because
relative had died, leaving her $50. 600,
and she did not care TO let her father
share in the bequest. In none of her
letters to him did she ever mention the
legacy. Mr. Field is q prosperous far
mer in California, TO which country he

AFTER AN EDITOR.
Attempt TO Murder a Montana

Newspaper Man.
San FRAscIsoo. June 23.--The Chron-
icle's Butte, Montana, special says; At
6 o'clock this evening a desperate at.
tempt was made to assssslnate G. o.
Ziegenfuss, editor of the Miner. The
would-be murderer is a carpenter named
Miller. whose daughter eloped few
dsys ago from Anaconda with young
fellow named Harrington. Miller pur.
sued the couple to this city
and found them occupying an
apartment together. He compelled
Harrington to marry the glrl and then
went around town boastipg of what he
had done. Next morning the Miner
contained brief account OF the affair,
and in tho afternoon Miller visited the
newspaper aud demanded retraction.
Editor ziegenfuss told him he would in
vestigate the matter and publish retrac.
tlon Il one was deserved. Miller went
away apparently Modified, but re-
turned later in an intoxicated condi
tion and made o nuisance OF himself.
generally. This evening he returned
again and requested private interview
with the editor, who conducted him to
the editorial room, up stairs. When
the head Of the stairs was reached Miller
suddenly grasped Ziegenfuss with one
hand and. drawing pistol with the
other, fred at hi, head. The
bullet whistlsd past its target,
and Ziegenfuss and the shootist rolled
down the stairs together. In the descent
the pistol was dropped and Miller after
being severely pummeled by an attache
of the business Office, was given into
custody. A charge Of an attempt to kill
will be entered against him tomorrow
Mr.. Ziegenfuss was not injured in the
least by his rough experience, and nu.
merous friends are congratulating him
upon his narrow escape. Public feeling
Is strong against Miller.

DISGUSTING DETAILS.
How Prisoners are Treated in
the 81. Louis W0rkhOmse.


Sr. LOUIS, June 23.-An afternoon
paper to-day publishes long sensa-
tional article, which 1t claims to be q
faithful report of the inward manage
ment of the st. Louis workhouse. The
gist of the publication is as follows'
"Nominally q prisoner is allowed so
cents a day for his work, but by arbi-
trary deductions this is reduced to 80
or 40 cents. For instance. no pay is
given for Sunday, and ons-half Of
Saturdays pay is deduced to sustain
the expense Of the alleged superior food
which ia furnished on that day. Once
a week all of the white prisoners, num-
beriug about 200. are required to bathe
in one tank six by five feet. from which
water is never drawn until the whole
number have washed themselves. A few
OF them are afflicted with disgusting
disease, while others are covered
with ulcers and running sores, which
are by means Of the bath communicated
to the unaffected. Fifty negroes are
required to bathe in the same manner
though in fresh supply of water, and
the whole $50 are furnished with but
four towels. The cells in which they
are confined when not at work are twelve
by fifteen feet in size. into each
OF which are crowded eight men.
In case OF sickness the patient
is placed in cell OF inferior
accommodations, in which are also con.
fined insane patients and new eomers
for whom room can't be found or made
in other cells. The food is inferior In
quality and insufficient, the bread being
too heavy to eat and the coffee too weak
to taste. The water given the men
to drink while at their work is
dipped from cattle trough and
the stone workers in the quarry
drink from the same bucket az the mules
and horses. One OF the worst features
of the management is the laxity Of disci-
pline, and the Indifference of the war
den aud guards as to what the prisoners
say and do while employed. The noon
hour, for instance, instead of the
men being returned to their cells
they are hustled 'promiscuously into
the corridors, where they remain until
called to their work. Here, huddled
together, they eat that portion of their
dinuer which they have been unable to
consume at the table, throw the
refuse at each other, play cards.
smoke, swear and fight, and indulge
in the use OF disgusting language, all
unrestrained by any guard. In regard
to the punishment Of offenders against
the workhouse rules, the writer says the
prisoner may be either confined In the
bull pen or dark cell or "strung up" the
latter punishment consisting Of hanging
the offenders up by the wrists and keep.
ing them in that position until obedience
to the rules is promised"

WASHINGTON, June 23.--The Presi.
dent to-day sent to Congress seven We.
toes, all Of the vetoed measures being
private pension bills which originated in
the Senate.
Among the bills vetoed was one grant
ing pension to Alfred Dennys, whose
record showed no disability, but twenty
years after he was discharged he filed a
claim alleging that he was injured by
being thrown forward upon the horn OF
his saddle. The President says the
number of instances in which those OF
our soldiers who rode horses during the
war were injured by being thrown for.
ward upon their saddles indicates that
these saddles were very dangerous con-
trivances.

The Great Pyramid.


Mr.. J. B. Bailey writes to the st. James
Gasette as follows with reference to the
desirability of exploring the great pyra-
mid: Now that Great Britain is domi-
nant at Cairo. would 1t not be O good
plan to clear away the sand and rubbish
from the base Of the great pyramid right
down to its rocky foundation and try
10 discover those vast corridors, halls
and temples, containing priceless curl.
osities and treasures with which tradi-
tion in all ages has credited the great
pyramids The wonderful building, Of
such exquisite workmanship, was erect
ed many years before any Of the other
pyramids, which are only humble imita-
lions, built by another nation, and also
for other purposes; for neither King
| Cheops nor anybody else was ever inter.
red beneath this mighty mass of stone.
The smaller pyramids also exhibit
neither the nicety Of proportions nor the
exactness Of measurement. both of which
characterize the first pyramid. From
internal evidence it seems to have been
built about the year 2l70 B. c.; short
time before the birth of Abraham, more
than four thousand years ago.
"This--one Of the seven wonders Of
the world in the days of ancient Greece
lis the only one Of them all still In ex-
istence. The base OF this building GOV.
ers more than thirteen square acres Of
ground. Its four sides face exactly
north, south, east and west. 1t Is situ-
ated in the geographical center of the
land surface Of the globe. 1t was origi.
nally ass feet high, and each of its sides
measures 1872 feet. 1t is computed to
contain 5000, 900 tons of hewn stone.
beautifully fitted together with q mere
him OF cement. And these immense
blocks Of stone must have been b. ought
from quarries five hundred miles distant
from the site of the building. The pres.
ent well known king and queen cham
bers with the various passages might
also be thoroughly examined by means
of the electric or lime lights. The As.
tronomer Royal OF Scotland some years
since closely and laboriously examined
all that Is At present known OF the in
terror Of thus enormous building. He
states that measurements in the cham-
bers, etc., show the exact length of the
cubit Of the bible, viz; twenty-five In
chea. This cubit was used In the build
ing OF Noah's ark, Solomon's temple,
etc. He also maintains that the pyra.
mid shows the distance of the sun from
the earth to be 81, ,s40, 900 miles.
