Prohibition Tnheid hr Ohio Courts.

In the Circuit Court of the United States at
Cleveland, o., Judge Welker disposed of tho
application of William Tanner, sr., saloon
keeper OF Alliance. for preliminary injunction
20 restrain the village of Alliance from the en-
forcement of the prohibitory ordinance passed
under the Dow law, by refusing the restraining
order. Judge Welker held that the ordinance
does not conflict with the 18th Amendment of
the Constitution OF the United States, and that
IL is only police regulation in the interest of
public morals and for the common good Judge
Jackson concurred in the refusal of the appli-
cation. This was the first case in Ohio under
the law and was watched with great interest.

The method now almost universally employed
by auTists to record the hearing distance, though
not precisely accurate is yet the method which,
the purposes of this office insures nearly than
any other, uniformity in rating. The watch used
by the Surgeon should be first tested by IL normal
ear, and the distance in inches at which IL il heard
should be taken the denominatOr of the fraction
in recording ease of deafness. The number of
inches at which the same watch is heard by the
under examination IS always the numeTatOr of the
fraction. Thus, If OIL testing n diseased ear 10 is
found that watch which should be heard at 40
inches Is heard only AZ two inches. the hearing dis

Pen Picture of Senatorial Dignity.

AS l sit here now 1t is curious to watch
the actions of some of these senators. Gull
lom, of Illinois, is playing with string,
and Dolph, of Oregon, Is tapping his
knees with his spectacles Eli Salisbury.
as tall as Jacks beanstalk, is walking
about the chamber with his hands in his
pockets, and Senator George, of Missis-
sippi, has one of the ends of his gold spec
tacle frame in his right ear, and he is using
this as an ear pick. Henry B. Payne is
picking his teeth with his knife, and as /
look in / note that another senator, who
has been performing the same operation
upon his molars, has taken the blade out
of his teeth and is cleaning his finger nails
with it. The knife is often used as a
toothpick by senators, and d half hour
rarely passes when one or more may not
be seen touching their teeth with the cold
steel of the penknife.
Evarts, when he laughs, looks very much
like the American eagle on broad grin.
have noted that Senator Hoar reads
great deal in the senate chamber, and that
the books often cover several different
languages. Joe Brown, of Georgia, sits
very quietly, and one of his gestures is
stroking his long white beard Beck, OF
Kentucky, is always busy, and Logan now
and then seems to grow a little nervous
and at such times he keeps his hands or
feet moving, and often walks out into the
cloak room. Gen. Henderson, of Ne
braska has a way of putting his thumbs
In his vest pockets when he walks about

violently, and always ready to make a
speech when he sees the government in

Lovers Of the curious in art will be re-
warded by visit to the Japanese depart
ment of one Of our business houses, where
may be seen couple of pieces of work
manship of the most unique character.
The ones referred to have quite history
attached thereto. The patient care and
accurate handiwork of the Orient has no
better example than these two pieces of
iron, which have SO remarkably been
worked out into representation of a lob
Ster and dragon, that are reproduced in
such perfect manner that one wonders
more and more at the talent of the Japan
csc artist who fashioned them. About
$40 years ago a mechanic by the name OF
Mio-Chin made couple of similar pieces
of work. One of them became the prop
erty of the mikado, the other one of the
daimiOs. Both of these august individ-
uals handed them down to his successors,
they thus passing on as heirlooms until
the then daimio of twenty-five years ago
sold his to an American merchant now in
New York Since these pieces were first
made many attempts have been made to
copy them but without success.
When Mr.. Kusufaro Tanaka was In
Japan three years ago he came across
very clever mechanic, and he had such
faith in his talent that he employed him
to make the pieces he now has. Working
steadily for three years he has made just
four pieces-two Holsters and two dragons.
The first Mr.. Tanaka sold in New York to
q party there for $6O0-who in turn sold
them to a Boston merchant and con-
nOisseur for 81, 500. They are exact duph-
Gates of the two now here. The popularity
of the work is that it was all done in a
similar manner to the Yankee process of
whittling-the difference being that the
material operated on is iron in the one
case and wood in the other. 1t should be
stated that they are not mere carvings
the joints are perfectly articulated, with
the result of making the work more life
like and more wonderfuL-St. Paul Pho

TELEGKAPHIC.
CattIc ssrewer-, Convention.

DENVER, Colorado, Jan. l5.-The cattle growers convention now being held in this city Is attracting univer- sal attention, not only here, but in the eastern states. Unfortunately there exists among the cattlemen radical difference of opinion regarding the preliminary organization of the con vention, there being several objections offered to the various propositions from delegates. Some demand that a preliminary meeting of the range owners shall be held before any per manent organization be effected, while others insist that there shall be re duction of the delegates to reasona- ble ratio in this preliminary meeting
 The true inwardness of these different objections is traceable to conviction among the leading spirits of the con vention that a number of delegates ac- quired credentials in every way, but that set forth by the rules, and there is no assurance that the views as ex- pressed by these delegates will embody the real feelings of the mass of the rangers nor be reflected in their ac- tions. Indeed the contrary may be case. But this opinion among the re- sponsible members of this convention is not strange, as this unprecedented meeting will deal with vastly import ant interests without the means of direct communication with the con stituency they are to represent. So it is denied that any authority existed
 for an arbitrary basis of representa- tion, when the circumstances are such that it is impossible to obtain an ex- pression of opinion from the people most interested. Delegates who were choses by actual rangers assembled for that purpose are said to be very diff ferent from those delegates picked out by handful Of men who term them selves the executive committees of the
