 The Boston inventor who promises to
 open the eyes of scientists and accom-
 plish wonderful things is evidently an
 enthusiast who likes to hear the sound
 of his own voice. If he can do one
 tenth of what he claims he would be
 greater than Edison, but there IS no
 proof other than his own word that he
 can harness electricity to machinery or
 even make cheap aluminium. It he
 solved the latter problem he would have
 the greatest money making process m
 the country, as the man ~ho succeeds in producing aluminium at a low price may call himself millionaire in single year.
 Phenix papers berased Judge Barnes ronndly for what they called the med ding of the judiciary with politics when it was reported that he opposed
 capital removal Since learning that he
 worked for its removal, they are un-
 stinted in their praise of him as an up
 right and impartial judge. It occurs 10 an impartial and fair minded man that it was just as unbecoming and un- dienihed for the judge to work for the removal of the capital as it would have been to have worked against 1t. This ,aet only goes to show the spirit of in- justice as displayed by the Phenix press
 The house committee on territories, although not unanimous. regard the bill lor the admission of Utah favorably. and will appoint subcommittee of five with Springer as chairman. to draft a pill and report to this effect. Owing to the lateness of this session, i, will be i'm practicable 10 secure the passage of the bill, and the committee also decided 10 report favorably on the omnibus bill, ior the admission of Idaho, Wyoming l Arizona, and which also includes New Mexico. The vote is practically unan- nous, although one or two members them 'elyes as opposed to the omnibus system, and preferred admis ion of these territories singly.

Though modesty has ever been and shall ever be the richest jewel in the diadem of our qualities, we cannot ferbear mentioning that our French is much better than Mir.

Adjusting Sights While in Action.

Follow a company of German soldiers in the fighting line of manevers and mark the way in which every sight is carefully adjusted to any named distance and changed at each rush forward. even when the men are excited by rapid advance. The present writer was c wit ness of the scene at the manevers where a company officer. who had noticed a man fa'l to change the sight of his rife at fresh distance, at once told him off for extra guard duty. this indeed being no light punishment after the men have been marching and fighting pretty we'll the whole day.
