The supreme court of Iowa has again
affirmed the consttutionality Of the pro-
hibitory Law of that State, holding that
Iowa Law was applicable to all persons, no
matter where they lived, who undertook
to violate the laws OF Iowa. 4 citizen Of
Illinois sued for the recovery Of liquors in
unbroken packages, which were shipped
to his agent In keokuk, Iowa, and there
seized under the Iowa law. The plaintiff
contended that the law could not apply to
liquors made out Of the State and sold by
the manufacturers. But the supreme
court very properly held that what was
unlawful to be made and sold by citizen
In Iowa. was unlawful to be sent Iuto the
State and sold by nonresident Of that
State. In other words the supreme
courts decision is in exact accord with
the decision OF the United States supreme
court, ON similar case.

JOYS OF THE PODOSCAPH.
A New Delight for the Aquatic Crank
Discovered in France.

From the London Globe
The sporting column of the Paris Figaro
wakes enthusiastic over the podoscaph. France
has not, generally speaking. much to teach us
in the way OF aquatics, and yet, though the
word has found its way into recent English
dictionaries, it is impossible to feel warranted
in assuming that the podoscaph is a matter OF
common knowledge. For the benefit of the
ignorant, then, podoscaph, as described by
NJ. Adrean Marx, is fat board, just big
enough for a single adventurer. nailed upon a
pair of small skiffs-a minute raft upon which
any one who has the knack of self-balance
may voyage up and down rivers and along
canals, either crouching. kneeing or standing
If the wind be well behind MIN he may open an
umbrella, and is then carried along at the rate
of steam.
Nor do these things exhaust the podoscaph s
advantages. friend of ii. Marx, SO we are
assured, harnessed to his podoscaph a team of
twenty ducks, who not only materially lessened
his labor, but supplied him with roast duck for
supper whenever, i'll mis- river voyages, he
came to halting-place insufhciently provided,
a very practical adaptation of the fancy of Gle
opatra and the late king of Bavaria for being
drawn about by swans. 1t seems that II. MARI
Philosopher having started with twenty ducks
came home with them all inside him. which
shows what healthy pastime podoscaphy
must be.
In the interest of Anglo-Saxon sports and
pastimes-at any rate, of their spectItors-we
trust the podoscaph may presently emerge
from our dictionaries upon our inland waters
1t is difficult TO imagine a more pleasant spec
tacle than Philosopher, a podoscaph, an

DEPRIVED OF WATER.
With Shells and Search Lights the
Arabs Kept from the River.

From the New York Sun
The slaughter of the dervishes on the Niles
bank has raised shudder even in England
where shooting savages is regerded as a part
OF the empires great civilized mission. The
position of the poor wretches in this case is
particularly horrible. They advanced many
days journey across the desert and almost
reached the Nile, painting for drink of its re-
freshing waters. But there on the bank the
khedive's troops were drawn up. The savages
fought whole day in the broiling Soudan sun
to get at the water, but without avail, and they
hid themselves at night in the hills. Mounted
cavalry secured the banks all night to prevent
the tribesmen reaching the Nile, and gunboats
flashed electric lights and fired shells continu-
ously with the same object All next day the
same tactics were observed, and SC ores of poor
Arabs have now been found dead, their
parched tongues protrudinS and shriveled
He'll itself could not have provided more ex-
quisite torture for them.
Some of the rebel women tried to steal to
the river for water for the fighting men, but
they were promptly captured and transported
across the Nile, whence they could render no
succOr.

SENATOR wAsHBURN's FINANCES.
Thomas Lowry of Minneapolis Says His
Embarrassment Has Passed.

From the New York Sun.
The stories about the financial embarrass
ments Of Senator W. D. Washburn Of Mime.
sofa are made the subject Of an authoritative
statement by Thomas Lowry Of Minneapolis
who has been his business associate. Senator
Washburn sailed for Europe on Wednesday, be-
fore the publication of the stories affecting hi
credit Answering an inquiry about the al
legged sale eff Senator Washburn's house to him
for $40, 000 which the Senator was said to re-
quire to pay interest on his debts, Mr.. Lowry,
who is in this city, said yesterday:
"There is no truth whatever in the statement
Senator Washburns house is not decided to me,
and never has been. Inever lent him $40, O0O
to pay interest on his loans, and never was ad-
vised that he was in need of that amount for
such q purpose. As to buying the Senators
house, it is about all can do to support the one
now live i'm
what is there about Senator washburn's
troubes?"
1T has all passed A few months ago he was
somewhat embarrassed, owing to the fact that
his time was occupied in politics instead of in
paying close attention to his various business
interests. He, however, promptly converted
securities which he had in hand and paid all
maturing obligations. Senator Washburn is
financially sound, and he would, if necessary
sacrifice the last dollar he possessed, including
his homestead and all personal possessions to
pay one hundred cents on the dollar. He will
pay one hundred cents on the dollar, too,
despite the efforts of political enemies to bring
about destruction of his credit, which has
been attempted by the publication of these
stories after he had sailed for Europe and when
he could not reply to them"

SHE CoPPERED HIS BETS.
How a Wife Won What Her Husband
Lost.

Prom the Providence Journal
A couple pretty well known in sporting cir
Giles in Boston are said to have gone to ball
match not long since, and there to have met
another couple Of choice spirits. man and mis-
wife who were almost as much given to snort
ing life as themselves. In the course of the
afternoon the excitement waxed apace, and the
gentlemen bet with good deal Of vigor. The
ladies, nothing loath, followed their example.
and by the time the game was concluded a con-
siderable amount Of money had been wagered.
Mr.. A had all the afternoon been betting on
the Boston nine, and to his great disgust he
found himself loser. the home team having
failed TO score a victory. On the way home he
complained to his wife of his hard luck adding
that he had lost more money than he knew how
well 70 spare just then.
.'Oh. that Is all right" his wife responded.
81 won from Mrs. b. Just as much as YOU lost
to him, and l told her we'd trade the two
things OF and call il square"
why, how did that happen?" her husband
asked In surprise.
Well. was her reply. Il knew the other
team was sure to win. and sat where could
hear you pet. 80 every time you put up any
thing 1 covered it with Mrs. b.
But" persisted her other half, "what in the
world made you think that the out-of-town
nine would win? You said beforehand that Won
should back the Bostons''
''Oh, yes" replied Mrs. A. with feminine
logic, the moment / saw what a lovely
straight nose that short stop had couldni,
bear to have them beaten, and SO bet on
them"
Whatever her husband thought Of her logic
it would have been manifestly ungrateful In
him to object TO her method Of betting when 4,
helped him out Of an awkward place.
