A French physician, DR.. Felz,
mentions curious apparent cause
of left-handedness. A child in a
certain family was left-handed, and
the second appeared to be SO at the
age of l year. 1t was then learned
that the mother always carried her
children on her left arm. She was
advised to change, and hold it on
her other arm; the infant, having
its right hand free to grasp objects,
soon became right-handed.

or from Butte, to obtain fuxing ores for

says the new chief engineer and the general
manager are looking over the ground with
view to shorten the reain line and build
branches wherever there is business in
sight. If Meesrs. Kendrick and Oakes will
come down to Butte they can learn just
how the main line can be shortened by
over 200 miles. and The business OF the
whole system almost doubled, at the same
time tapping the greatest deposits Of dux-
ing ores in America.

The Source Of tho Fire In the Child

NEW YORK, February 2.-Last Monday
night there was q fire in the Hospital fol
Ruptured and Crippled which resulted in q
panic among the children, and the death
OF one domestic employed in the institu
ton. It was evidently OF incendiary orr.
gin, but there was not the slightest clue to
the culprit. The fire marshal had been
watching closely the matter ever since, and
this afternoon reached . rather astonish-
ing solution Of the mystery. Since the fire

building by placing matches on register in

made. This afternoon another and nearly
successful attempt was made by setting
fire to q lot OF linen in q drawer. The fire
department was called and another

ensued, but fortunately the fire was soon
put out and nobody was hurt. One OF the
patients, Mary Wilson. pretty and engag-
ing child OF IL years, was discovered sneak
and the fire marshal, whose
suspicious were already aroused, pointed
toward her and taxed her with the crime.
She at first denied it, but finally broke
down and confessed. She had made half q
dozen attempts to burn the hospital. She
did not know why she did it. A physician
who examined her says she is afflicted with
pyromania.

court OF the state oi affairs. All freight

1t is hard to see how eny could stand

men are now subjected. The b. d k,s must be
put on coLsta ntly, which involves crawling
along the narrow Iootboards on top OF the
cars, which are coated with ice ard snow
and exceedi' giy slippery. With tho wind
blowing at fifty miles 81 honr. and the
train butting its way through tf" low, 1t
is impossible for the brake;Een to main

never have time TO go to the caboose The
men have no shelter beyond what they can
find by c!ingirg to the ladders between the

LAND GRANT ROADS.

Opinions Upon the Bill Forbidding Pref
erence to Telegraph Lines.
New YoYk, February 1.-THE Law al
lowed the Pacific railroad companies to
take contracts with telegraph companies,
and of course they did it. That's all
know about it, }" was the answer OF c. p.
Huntington yesterday morning when the
Anderson bill was brought to his atten-
tion. DR.. Norvin Green, President OF the
Western Union Telegraph Company, said:
"The bill affects us very little because We
have our wires there. Anderson's bill un-
dertakes to pass upon tho judicial ques-
tion whether tho railroads had . right to
mako . contract with the telegraph COM
panies. The courts have already decided
that they had such right. The question
is matter of much more Importance to
the railroad companies than to rs. We
have our lines there, and the only damage
it would do would be to put US to the ex.
pense Of a few more Offices on the line Of
route. But as we should get all the re-
ceipts instead OF giving the railroads one
half as much as we do now, our increased
expense would be MOI than met by the in
creased revenue

Another Good Man Accused Of Failing
From Grace.
CmcAso. February 1.-For some time
past rumors Of disagreeable nature have
been disturbing the minds OF the congreEa-
ton of the Ada Street Methodist Episcopal
Church, and they have at last culminated
in scandal that has caused an unprece-
dented excitement among that quiet and
religious community. The alleged culp1it is
Rev. J. P. Buckingham, pastor of the
above named church. He was arrested this
evening on q warrant charging illegitimate
parentage, sworn out by Miss Eva Parker,
a young lady OF 18, who has recently be-
come q mother. Brushingham's Leg nd.
wiser said to a reporter that his clieEsaad
never heard OF the charge until the child was
been. He then Immediately called q meet
ing OF the official board OF the church
which, after deliberation, passed q rssolu.
ton expressing belief in his innocsncs. and
q determination to stand by him. The
lawyer charges that the whole thing is an
attempt at blackmail. Mr.. brushingham
gave bonds in the sum of $500 for his ap-
pearance in the Criminal Court. He will
also have a church trial, which will take
place soon, and in the meantime will sus-
pend his labors as pastor.

minority report on Anderson's bill to re-
quire the Pacific Railroad Companies to
afford equal facilities to all telegraph com.
panies in the transmission of telegraph
business. While it expressed sympathy with
the purpose Of the majority to prevent any
discrimination ny any subsidized land
grant roads, it believes that the leeisla-
tion proposed would not be wise il
it were competent, and that the bill
with it's amendments is unconstitu-
tional as seeking to interfere with the
vested rights. The Western Union Company
built at it's own expense additional lines
for railroads. It gave and gives the use of
it's lines and employees for railroad business
and in the opinion OF the minority, there
ia no more right or power to amend such
contracts by legislation than there is to
legislate the title OF a granger's farm into .
base ball ground without the farmers con-
sent.

Train Robbers identified.

Sr. LOUIS. February 2.-The preliminary
examination OF L. w. Brock and Jim Bur.
rows took place at Texarkana to-day
Brock made confession Of the train rob-
berry at Genoa on December 8. He said
that Jim and Rube Burrows caused the en-
gineer to bring the train to stop, and un-
der instructions Of Rube Burrows, leader
OF the gang, he entered the express car and
there met three men whom he intimi-
dated with a sixshooter, and handing bag
to one, the two OF them compelled him to
put the moneyed contents OF the safe in
the bag. He put about $4,000 in money
and Sc, 900 worth of other valuables in the
bag. The three then started on foot for
Texarkana, and on the way divided the
booty, his share being about $500. Fire
man Grover recognized Burrows as the
robber whose mask slipped off as he en-
tered the engine cab. Both men were
bound over in $500 bail. Burrows
waived examination.

The Time When Ireland's Hopes Would
Be Crowned With Success-The Ova-
ton to kipon and Morley in Dublin.
DUBLIN, February AT meeting OF the
corporation to-day, the freedom Of the
city was conferred upon the Marquis OF
Ripon and John Morley. Ex.Lord Mayor
Sullivan occupied the chair, and many
members of Parliament, mayors aud MEM
bers Of various city corporations We're
present. The Marquis assured the corpo.
ration the object of the British Liberals
was to see Ireland accorded at the earliest
opportunity full recognition, it's legitimate
political aspirations. There was growing
conviction among the misses of England
in favor OF home rule for Ireland. Morley
in his remarks said there would be no
peace in Ireland until the question of con-
stitutional reform is settled.
THE ISSUE PRESENTED.
Leinster Hall was crowded this evening
Ex-Lord Mayor Sullivan presided over the
meeting, and large number OF Parnel|,te
commoners were on the platform. Lord
Ripon, in bis remarks. said he wished to
be perfectly honest, and must remind his
auditors he had belonged to the Govern
ment that had voted coercion for Ire
land. but had come to see there Was 10
hope in such a measure. Ireland now had
a great party nf England on her side, and
the time near at hand when her hopes will
he crowned with success. The opponents
OF home rule had scratched records past
and dragged up every possible crime to
dshonor Irishm The practical answer
to these men was for the Irish people to
KEEP THEIR TEMPER
and wrest from the hands of their foes the
sharpest weapons they possessed. He
wished to assure the English and Scotch
Protestants there was not the slightest
reason to fear a Catholic majority would
interfere with their just interests. Morley
said the home rule question was rapidly
approaching "A crisis. The Governments
policy was critical. Cruel force had utterly
failed to discourage the commission OF out
RACES. 1t benefited neither landlords nor
tenants. He was not in favor Of any
Socialistic extirpation OF property, and be
believed the irish Parliament would be the
last to agre, to any such thing. In the
heat OF the struggle desperate men doubt
less used desperate Language, but that
would cease when the struggle cooled.

Concern That Shone for q Time BY
Reflected Light-It VIII Soon Join the
Great Silent Majority of Hat Passers
A correspondent of the Inter Mountain
takes exception to the statement in The
MINER OF yesterday that the Northwestern
Masonic Aid Association of Chicago is on
the wane. He speaks of it as though it was
purely an auxiliary of the noble old order
of Masons, and calls to witness it's prompt
payment of claims made by widows and
orphans of deceased Masons. The gentle.
man has not posted himself. The state
ment in The MINER was m ade advisedly,
and not re0klessly. The association in
question was intended to be an auxiliary
of the Masonic order, but was not in any
sense, portion OF the order. It was in.
tended to insure none but Masons, and
there were enough Masons to furnish it with
a large and increasing business for num-
Der OF years. But the principle was wrong,
as with the hat passers that were not so
fortunate as to be sanctioned by the Ma.
sonic order. and more than year ago
THE TURNING POINT
was reached; the assessments become too
mum rous, and the membership showed
signs OF diminishing. The secretary Of the
association, Mr.. Stoddard. whose name is
familiar to many Masons in this city. COM
ing with the oft recurring assessment is
sued circular last February, which the
above correspondent did not see. 1t gave
a statement of the affairs OF the assoca-
ton, showing clearly that if none but Ma
sons were to be insured the association
would very sooD 60 to pieces. 1t suggested
as a remedy that parties not Masous
should be admitted to its benefits, and
thus by large infusion OF new blood from
outside of the order the increasing burdens
of the assessments would be shared by the
outsiders. and the life of the N. w. NJ. A. A..
would be saved. Mr.. Stoddard's sugg s.
tions we're adopted, and the man who
thinks that none but Masons are paying
is very much mistaken. Though it bears
the label OF Masonry, it is no more a Ma
sonic institution than is
THE UNITED FRIENDS
or the Bankers and Merchants Mutual OF
California-similar concerns that recently
came to grief. The Masonic order itself has
relieved thousands of widows and orphans
for the one relieved by the N. w. NJ. A. A.,
and the great life insurance companies OF
America have paid and do pay out more
every year for the relief OF the widows and
orphans of Masons than the N. w. NJ. A. A.
has done in all the few short years of it's
existence. 1t was still alive at last reports.
but it is doomed. 1t may have been started
by honest men. in good faith, but the sys-
tenn being defective, it could not live. It
paid its death losses as long as it could,
and Mr.. Stoddard is entitled to credit for
notifying the officers of the institution
when it was about to fail, and for his effort,
though a misdirected one, to save it. He
should have paid up all claims and closed
the concern. Parties solicited by insurance
agents should ask to see the certificate fur
nished by the Secretary OF Montana to
every agent of every sound company doing
business in Montana and deal only with
agents that can show such certificates.
