WYOMING AND IDAHO.

1t appears from what Delegate Carey
says about Senator Plat, chairman of the
senate committee on territories. that Mr..
Plat has a correct idea in regard to the
admission of new states into the Union.
says the Denver Republican. He believes
that any territory without debt and self
supporting, and that has given conclusive
evidence of intelligence and industrial
competence ought to be admitted into the
Union without further delay.
Applying this to the territories of Wy
oming and Idaho it is readily seen that
both Of them are entitled to admission as
states. They have advanced beyond that
condition in which the authority and sup
port of the general government are
needed for the preservation OF order and
payment OF the cost of maintaining a local
government. They are developed in their
industrial resources to such an extent that
the people can bear the burdens of taxa
ton which the maiatainance of a state
government would impose. The inhabi-
tants have also shown hat they are pei
pie Of intelligence, having a proper un.
derstanding of the nature of our complex
government and OF the obligations which
they would incur by becoming citizens of
a state.
1t is a well settled doctrine of American
constitutional law that the ultimate aim
in the organization OF territories is the
creation of new states. This is a union of
states. With the exception of the Dis
trict of Columbia there would be. if the
Union had attained its full growth, moth
ing in the nature Of a province within Its
limits. The territories are provinces;
but, properly considered, they are SO only
because they have not yet been elevated
to the rank Of states, which is the position
they are destined ultimately to fill.
As far as the national government is
concerned, its relation to the territories
should be parental and protective. II
this relation is maintained beyond the
period in which it is of advantage to the
territory. its maintenance becomes the
exercise OF arbitrary, not TO say ~tyrannicai
power. 1t is a violation OF the spirit Of
tie constitution and union for congress to
compel the people of a territory to remain
under a territorial or provincial govern.
ernmeut any longer than they desire to
after they are capable of maintaining and
being trusted with a state government
Taking the two territories under con.
sideration as examples, their people lhave
a right as American citizens to demand
that they be permitted to establish theil
local governments. The time has COME
when congress should withdraw it,

those territories and thus make room fol

Electricity in Dentistry.

In the past decade dentistry, along
with other arts and sciences, has
made wonderful advances. Ten years
ago such a thing as extracting or fill
ing teeth by an electrical process was
unknown, but now it is quite general
ly used. This method is considered
infinitely superior in every way to
that of using anesthetics.- The latter
has in many Eases proved fatal to the
patient, and from that fact Are not re-
garded in a pleasant light. Whereas,
electricity is perfectly harmless and
can be used with safety even upon a
child. In what is termed bridge work
we have also made progressive strides,
and n set of teeth a now be fitted to
the mouth without the necessity of a
plate being fitted or joined to the roof.
The wonderful art OF inserting an ar
tifcial porcelain crown to the teeth
can be also regarded as a great idea,
from the fact of its giving TO the tooth
a perfectly natural appearance Den

FoOLISHLY EXCITED.

THE CHEYENNE LEADER endorses the
claim Rock Springs has for a hospital,
but while making its acknowledgment il
cannot refrain from exhibiting C~heyenne's
customary s~elishness by advocating the
claims of Cheyenne for still another to be
built at the capitol. As ii stands to reason
there can only be one hospital in Wyo-
ming, and even the arrangements for one
are as tar from being matured as ever
the course adopted BY THE LEADER is
well calculated to give the entire hospital
movement a black eve. Not satisfied
with its capitol building with its costly
wings, restless still IN its possession OF the
Deaf and Dumb institute, aching with
avAricious greed for more honor aud
spoils than the highest territorial Offices
bestow, Cheyenne must needs reach out
its claw to grab the hospital from Rock
Springs, and create discord in the unan-
unity that has heretofore prevailed
Rock Springs Miner.
The canny S~cotchman who edits the
Miner is evidently wildly excited. There
is no ground for his TRADE against THE
LEADER or against Cheyenne. Rock
Springs had never given any public ex
preston regarding the location offs hos.
Lital there up to the time that the sub
iect was first mentioned in TIE LEADER.
The Denver papers some time ago made
a reference to the return from Ogden of
DR.. Pfeiffer. chief surgeon of the Union
Pacific, who had gone to that city for the
purpose of locating a hospital there.
The LEADER in commenting on the sub
iect said that the time had now arrived
when, in the interests OF humanity, other
hospitals should be built by the Union
Pacific. The consolidation with the Fort
Worth road made a great scope Of south
ern county tributary to the Denver hos
pital 10 addition to the territory which it
had heretofore drawn from.
The completion Of the Cheyenne &
Northern and the traffic arrangement
with the Northwestern would extend the
territory north, south. east and west,
which was tributary to Cheyenne. The
geographical advantages OF its location
and the salubrity of its climate designated
Cheyenne as a point at which a hospital
might be erected with advantage to the
company and with benefit to its injured
employees.
These facts were mentioned in THE
LEADER at the time. The following week
the article was paraphrased by a Rock
Springs paper and the name Rock
Springs inserted in lieu of Cheyenne.
Believing that Rock Springs was entitled
to a hospital independent of the claims of
Cheyenne, we gave it the benefit Of a
statement to that effect. 1t is on these
fimsy foundations that the Miner hinges
its abusive article.

Did you evertry the power of mag
netism as expressed through the eyer"
asked q friend of mine at the theatre
recently. Its interesting. I've been
developing the faculty of late and
have great fun over il. Last week as
l sat over there on the side aisle of the
parquet circle l saw several rows of
chairs ahead of me a young lady of my
acquaintance. She was sitting so that
she would have to turn clear around
TO look at me, and / thought it a good
chance to test my power. / called the
attention of my companion to her and
said: Now watch me make her look
around Then l concentrated my
gaze on the back of her bonnet and
my mind on the idea of controlling
her action. By and by she began to
look around the house rather nervous
ly, glancing everywhere, and then she
turned clear around and looked
straight into my eyes. / met her
afterward and told her about it, and
b told me that she didn't know what
caused her to do SO unusual a thing.
Now there's an acquaintance of mine
down there in the parquet-that man
slouched down in his seat with gray
hair and a bald spot-see me make him
look around"
My friend knitted his brows and
looked at the bald spot i~ntently for
five minutes without makingit vince.
Then he frowned ominous1y and his
gaze grew more piercing. Still nc eff
feet. After fifteen minutes of this he
gave it up, saying the man never had
any mind anyway. AT the close of
the performance an usher went down
and awakened the man with the bald
spot. BE had been asleep.-Chicago

Little Child.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.l
MONTREAL, April 3O-This afternoon 12
residents of the little village ofSt. Clothilde,
one of whom, Sancrede ST. Ours, was accom-
panied by Marie, his 12-year-old daughter,
left in small boat to cross
the Nicolet river to Ste. Anne. It was raining
and thick fog hung on the river. When in
the middle of the river, which is there mile and
a half wide, sudden squall overlook the boat,
which was greatly overloaded. and she began to
leak. AS the squall increased the men tried to
put back to st. Clothilde, but in turning the
boat capSized and all were thrown into the
water. Three of the men, who were good
swimmers, Immediately struck out for the
shore, while the remaining men clung
to the overturned boat. St. Ours, who,
being unable to swim, was holding with one
hand, while with the other he supported his
little daughter. Seeing. that the boat was un-
able to float he left it, and clung to a couple of
fog prevented the accident from being seen on
shore, and it was not until the swimmers
reached it that boat put off to the rescue.
BY the time it reached the overturned boat
Jean Marriott and Ulrich Lalonde had dropped
off and disappeared. The others were SO ex-
hausted that the rescuers dragged them into
their boat before going to the assistance of st.
Ours and his child, who by this time had
dr1fted about 80 yards away. One of the
boards which formed their frail support was
seen to drift away, and it was also noticed
that the remaining one was insufficient
to float both. 1t was then that the
self: Seeing, no doubt, that help
could not arrive in time to save both, he gave
up his only hope. He took "a handkerchief
from his neck and bound his child's arm to the
board, and then sank to rise no more. Almost
the next instant the insensible child bound to
the board was safe in the boat of the rescuers.

THE RELIGIOUS EXERCISES.

Excellent Attendance Generally mt the
Churches Yesterday Morning.
Pursuant to announcement, more than
half hundred churches in the two cities
were opened yesterday morning for thanks
giving and praise in observance OF the Cen
tennial occasion. There were many inter-
esting services. the subjects of the ser
mons for which have been heretofore pub
lished; and. as they were so uniform in pa
trlotlc terms and expression, there was a
certain sameness about them which would
lend very little variety to even the fullest
reports thereof. Most noticeable for its fine
music was the service at ST. Peters Cathe-
dral in Allegheny. where Bishop Phelan
presided and preached.
The services of the Jewish congregations
were also specially noticeable, both for
the beauty and fervor that characterized
them; those at the Eighth Street Temple, of
course, taking the lead in the morning.
There was but one afternoon service of a
religious character. At the congregation
B'nai Israel, corner of Grant street and
Third avenue, imposing centenary observ-
ances were held. At4P. M. the exercises
opened with an interesting address by Rabbi
Zlewletz In Hebrew, giving an account of
Washington's life and influence. This was
followed by solemn prayer in front of the
ark, the whole congregation standing, for
the repose of the soul of Washington.
Next came an address in English bv Mr..
j. Kornblum, who pronounced the Father
of his Country the Messiah of Judaism
the first to proclaim freedom to all peoples.
He reviewed the history of the first Presi-
dent, eulogized his character, and concluded
with the statement that the best way WASH
Iington's memory could be honored was by
becoming upright and faithful citizens
worthy followers of this illustrious man.
A beautiful chant, composed especially
for this occasion by Rev. Mr.. Alper, the
reader of the congregation, was next sung.
He also sang in excellent voice a number of
selections, and concluded by chanting a
and impressive throughout.

TKo COWBOY DETECTIVES
Take an Alleged Murderer From Arkanss
to Boston for n Reward.

rsPKcIAL TELEcRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.
BOSTON, April 3O.-The interest in the
White murder case at Braintree was re-
awakened last night when two specimens of
the genus cowboy strobe into the police
station on Division street, after midnight,
dragging heavily manacled wretch whom
they claim was the murderer of the aged
woman. They had come all the way from
Arkansas to claim the 81 900 reward which
had been offered for the arrest and convic-
ton of the murderer. They claimed to be
detectives. Each was dressed in typical
cowboy style, with high-topped boots, SOM
brero and cartridge belt with gun on
each side. They gave the names of Alison
Tams and Geo. w. Chapman. They said
their prisoner was John Thompson, the
much-wanted murderer. He did not say
anything until the Boston police took
charge OF him, and then he created sensa-
tion by telling how the Arkansas police
had forced a confession from him. I.
He denied that he was John Thompson,
and offered proof that he was Gidney r.
Green. He asserts that four men dragged
him into the woods in jackson county,
Arkansas, tied rope around his neck,
strung him up until his toes barely touched

less he confessed to the murder Of Miss
White in the distant State of Massachu-

now says The confession is so full of state
ments utterly at variance with the facts that
it was at once decided by the Boston police
Sbat the man is either lunatic or his
captors were easily duped. The prisoner
was taken to Quincy, and was formally held
to await Identification. Intimate friends of

BOSTON, April 30.-The demand for wool has
shown no increase of late, as far as domestic
grades are concerned. Small lots only are
bought, and in this way there are but tfifine
changes in quotations from Friday to to-day.
Bile here and at all seaboard markets give
some strength to the situation, but if large
lines could be found here they could only be
moved into the manufacturers hands at con-
cessions from present quotations.
Ohio x has sold at 3l@32c and Xxx at 32N33c;
Michigan x feeces are quoted at 29@29%c In
unwashed woods there is very little doing, and
previous prices are quoted. Pulled woods were
in good demand and steady in price at 3503Sc
for SUPER at 25028c for extra Australian wool
meets with steady inquiry and it is expected
that the demand for all kinds of foreign cloth
ing woods will soon be active as they can be
bought cheaper here than abroad.

BILE POISONED BLOOD,

Nearly every one is occasionally troubled
with bilious attacks, more especially in the
spring months, after the system has been sur
feited with hearty food during the winter. The
action Of the Liver is interfered with, causing
an overflow of bile into the blood The blood
carries this bile into every part Of the system,
causing yellow skin, yellow eyes, liver spots,
ETC., and often serious cases of bilious fever
originate from this bile poisoned blood. A
few doses Of Burdo Blood Bitters, taken on
appearance Of bilious symptoms. will remove
them and protect the system from a probable
serious attack.
