ARID LANDS.
A Mistaken Idea as TO what Com

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2S.-R. J.
Hinton, of the Senatorial Arid Lands
Committee, said today the committee
has everywhere had to combat the idea
that Congress is represented by the SEN
ators now investigating, and intends to
enter upon the task of conducting irriga-
ton works. On the contrary, the Sena-
tors regard that when the surveying and
segregating of irrigable from non-irriga-
BILE lands is done, the work of Congress
in its initiative form at least will
have been properly accomplished. Mr..
Hinton further said that nowhere In its

NEW YoRK, Sept. 4.-1lrs. Swinton
and her son Joshua who figured in the
unsavory Hamilton Donnelly scandal at
Atlantic were arrested and locked up in
this city yesterday. Inspector Byrnes
charged them with being suspicious
persons. Those who have known this
delectable pair for the past ten years in
New York city have all along regard ed
them as decidedly suspicious" charac-
ters.
When the news Of their incarceration
became known it was surmised that the
inspector must have some hidden mO-
tive for pla<ing them in safe keeping at
this particular time. Tt was explained
that they were wanted as witnesses
when Mrs. Hamilton should be brought
to trial for stabbing Nurse DonneIly. al
though neither party had any direct con-
nection with that crime.
Sensational Disclosures.
But il appears that the charge against
them is more serious and the public will
not have to await the meeting of the
Atlantic City court for the sensational
disclosures that have been mysteriously
promised by Mr.. Hamilton's counsel.
When approached by your correspond
ent Inspector Byrnes said that he had
been employed upon the case for several
days and had succeeded In unearthing a
foul conspiracy which, il proved, will
probably relieve Robert Ray Hamilton
of his unworthy wife.
He says Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Swinton
and Joshua Mann plotted successfully to
force Mr.. Hamilton to marry the first
named.
Midwife Supplied the Babe.
The conspirators succeeded in con-
vincing Mr.. Hamilton that Eva Steele
had been delivered of child, of which
he was the father, at Elmira, N. Y, on
Dec. IL, 1883. With this belief Mr..
Hamilton married the woman three
weeks later, in January, 1889.
The inspector says that he has traced
the antecedents of the babe and found
that il is not Mrs. Hamilt0n's child, but
was procured from midwife for $40.
Four Babies Brought In.
The first babe procured soon died and
a second was obtained. This one also
died and the third one was SO homely
that the woman would not keep it. She
got fourth one. Though Hamilton
had seen the first babe he never knew
the difference, and has been regarding
the fourth bought child as his own. To
legitimatize the child he married the
supposed mother.

Loaded at southampton = The Irish

LONDON. Sept. 4.--John Burns. the
leader of the London strikers, has made
himself as completely the master of the
lives and fortunes of the men as any
eastern despot over his subjects. For
some days past the more unruly Of his
hungry followers were disposed to rebel
against his pronounced purpose to pre-
serve order at all hazards. and these
growing more numerous as food became
scarce, were a constant menace to his
authority.
SUFFICIENT Funds for Relief.
Now, however, this source of danger
is largely reduced, for Burns has sue
ceeded In securing sufficient funds 20
supply his relief depots fairly we'll, and
as he keeps sharp lookout on the purse
strings and peremptorily forbids any re-
lief being given to such as question his
authority, he is now everywhere im-
plicitly obeyed.
The refusal Of the dock companies to
permit the vessel owners to make such
terms with the laborers AZ they see fit
for unloading their own ships very ma
terially improves the strikers position,
as it places the entire responsibility for
the deadlock upon the shoulders of the
dock managers. This intensifies the
feeling in the commercial community
against them and as a result sympathy
for the strikers grows and contributions

no Compromise Possible.
After the proposal of the shippers and
vessel owners to engage their own help
had been rejected by the dock managers.
the former applied to the strikers COM
mittee to permit the men to load and
unload at Southampton such vessels as
could be sent from London, offering to
carry the men out and back aud TO pay
them the 9 pence per hour which they
demand.
This proposition Burns rejected. He
says that il once the pressure upon conl-
merce which the strike has brought
about at SO great sacrifice is relieved.
without securing the concessions which
the men demand, then it is gOod-by to
all hopes for the success of the strike

How to Coax a Man to Propose.

An elderly man was telling to a
group of giddy young girls the other
day how he proposed to his wife
when he was young man. She
was sewing at the time, he said, or
he never would have had the courage
to do it. If girls would sew more he
thinks they would have more matri-
monial chances. Sewing he consid-
ers the best accomplishment that
woman can have. A woman engaged
with needle has a domestic, home
like air that is Irresistible to a man
who loves her. 1t is a picture of
what she would be in her own home,
and makes him long that it should
be his also. How can a man pro.
pose to a girl who sits straight up in
her chair staring hard at him with a
pair of bright eyes? But when she
is bending gracefully over a bit of
plain or fancy sewing. apparently ab-
sorbed in counting the stitches, and
the arrows of her eyes are sheathed
for few minutes, he plucks up cour.
age enough to offer her his heart and
hand. The average young man is bash.
full in such affairs tho bold enough
at other times, and needs encourage.
ment and opportunities. What sort
of encouragement is pair of bright
eyes staring into his, watching his
embarrassment?
Listen to the advice of an old man
who has been all through it; drop
your eyes and give the young man
a show. Remember this, girls, when
the favorite young man drops in to
make an evening visit, get out your
bit OF fancy work and look domestic
and with every stitch of your needle
you will bind his heart more fmly to
your own.

Ben Franklin is to blame for the
sordid and very partial view of sue
cess that prevails in this country.
Franklin, though himself not a
parsimonious man, dinned maxims
of parsimony into the ears of the
American people so persistently,
and did it In such a wonderfully
forcible way, that he succeeded in
ingraining the thought of the Amer
ican people with fan eminently ma
terial philosophy. The moral of it
all ls-save, save, save for a rainy
day. By dint of everlasting repeti-
ton of the vision of the rainy day
that has got to be laid up for, Ben
Franklin has succeeded in taking all
the sunshine out of the days that are
not rainy for hundreds of thousands
of people.
