It Is Q Force Bill.

When the advocates of partisan
measure lose their tempers and handy
loose charges of "lying' against their
opponents it is a sure sign that they
are conscious of being in the wrong.
The Tribune permitted its Washing
ton correspondent to say that not one
OF the newspapers opposed to the Elec-
tions Bill "has dared to publish a fair
synopsis of it."
The World made and published the
fullest synopsis of this measure which
has been printed anywhere, and chal
enges contradition of one of its state
ments. The Tribune persistenuy de.
nies, in the face of proof to the con-
trary, that the measure is a force bill,
and its spoudent said yesterday
that it seeks its ends 'by ordinary jud-
icisl methods and processes"
Does the Tribune contend that a
bill which authorizes the President,
cor such person as he may empower
for that purpose" (W. w. Dudley, for
example), to ''employ such part of the
land or naval force ss ''shall be neces
ssry to pregeRt the cioldtion or ENFORCE
the due execution" of its provisions, il
not Force law.
This is what the election bill does.
This is why it is rightly called Force
Bill. Denying does not alter facts

TIE FAMOUS BAsTILE PRISONER AND IHIs
COMPANION RATS.

Though the rat can be fierce when
called upon TO defend its life there is
a softer side to lis character which is
Often brought out by contact with
man. Many instances of this could
be sdduced sim lar TO that of the ON
nibus conductors tame rat, which
used to mount guard over its masters
dinner and fly ssvsgely at any one
who ventured to come near it. The
animal had been caught during the re-
moval of some hay and spared because
of its piebsld coat. 1t was very at
lched to its owners children and
would play about them as merrily as a
kitten. Ga cold nights it slept in its
masters bed, nesting as close TO him
as chicken to its mother. In his me-
moirs M. de la Tude, Frenchman,
who fell under the displeasure of Nine.
de Pompadour in l749, and was con-
sequeutly imprisoned in the Ba'tille
and other foruesses for thiry.tive
years, tells how he aleviated the ted
ium of his captivity by making com
panions of some .sts. He was much
annoyed for years by the rats, which
at nightfall swarmed into his cell,
hunting about for scraps of food, and
sometimes biting his face whe1 he was
asleep. They entered by a hole which
ventilated his dungeon. 1t was about
two feet above the floor, and under it
were two steps on which be used to sit
and breathe the fresh air as it entered.
While seated there one day he noticed
large ra. at the other end of the
hole, and threw it fragment of bread
The next day, at the same time, the
rat was there again, and by throwing
bread crumbs SO that they fell nearer
to him the prisoner gradually induced
his visitor to approach. until it finally
took piece from his hand. In few
days time it was so anne that it would
sit on his knee washing it's face and
eating what scraps were given to 1t.
One day it brought a companion,
which became friendly almost at once
and after little while the two rat:
took up their permanent residence IL
the dungeon. They occasionally went
out through the hole, generally return
ing with another rat, and each new
conner made itself at home until event
ually M. de la Tude's cell was peoplet
by family of ten of these rodents
He taught them all 10 recognize thu

with them for hours together. They
learned from him a number of trick

HALF RATES TO The FARMERS EN-.
0AMPMENP AT MT. GRETNA, VIA
PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.

The great encampment of American
Farmers at Mt. Gretna Park, Lebanon
County, Pa, August 10th TO 23rd,
promises to be an event of intense in
interest to every one interested in ag-
riculture. Besides the meeting of the
farmers from all sections of the coun,
try there will be great and compre,
hensive exhibition of agricultural
machinery. Mt. Gretna presents every
facility for successful gathering oi
this kind, and the occasion will un.
doubtedly prove most interesting
one.
For the benefit of visitors the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company will sci
excursion tickets to Mt. Gretna, Aug
ust 10th to 23rd, valid for return unit

Miss Julia I.evering is a farmers
daughter and she lives near New
Pals, Indiana She went out to the
barn to gather hens eggs. She was
returning to the house with a dozen
eggs in her apron when she saw the
head and part of the body of a big
back-snake at one side of big chop
ping block. Miss LeveriDg stopped,
and, as she relates it, felt herself turn
ing cold. She couldn't find her voice
to scream, and when the rest of the
snakes body slowly appeared around
the cbopping block she was herself
long enough to know that she dropped
to the ground.
She does not know how long she
was in the swoon, but when she came
to and the situation returned TO her
mind she was sitting where she had
fallen. Every one of her eggs were
gone and so was the snake. The eggs
she had been depending on to make
up part of the cost of new dress she
had set her heart on, aud although she
was weak when she recovered from
her faint she had strength enough to
be indignant and hard set against
snakes generally and that blacksnake
in particular, for she was certain that
the blacksnske had taken advan-
tage of its soaring her into a helpless
swoon and gobbled all her eggs. Miss
| lowering rose to her feet, and look g
toward the board fence at one side of
the yard she saw the blscksnske lying
at full length, already overcome by its
impulse to lie at rest and digest the
eggs. The gxl ran to the woodpile,
got the axe, and rushing upon the big
snake chopped its head off before il
knew what was going on. Twelve
suspicious protuberances along the
snakes stomach were sufficient evi-
dence that the eggs were where Miss
lowering had suspected them of being.
All doubt on the subject was dispelled
when Farmer Levering dissected the
snake later on. Every egg was there
and each one as flswless as when il
was taken from the nes.. Ne,c York
Sun.

Finishing Postal Stamps.

As soon as they emerge from the
hydraulic press postage stamps are
gummed. The paste is made from
clear starch, or rather its dextrine,
which is acted upon chemically and
then boiled, forming clear, smooth,
slightly sweet mixture. Each sheet of
stamps is taken separately, placed up
on fiat board and its edges covered
with light metal frame. Then the
paste is smeared on with a wide white
wash brush, and the sheet is laid be.
tween two wire racks and placed on a
pile with others 10 dry. Great care is
taken in the manufacture of this paste,
which is perfectly harmless.
This gratifying fact has been con-
elusirey proved by an analysis recent
ly made by an eminent chemist. After
the cumming another pressing in the
hydraulic press follows. Then another
counling-in fact stamps are counted
no less than thirteen times during the
process OF manufacture. The sheets
are then ,ut in half, each portion con-
tanning 100 stamps, this being done by
girls with ordinary hand shears. Next
follows the perforstion, which is per,
formed by machinery.
The perforalions are first made in a
perpendicular line and afterwards 10 a
horizontal line. Another pressing fol
lows, this time to get rid of the raised
edges on the back Of the stamps made
by the dies, and this ends the manu-,
facture. A separate apartment is de,
voted to the p lcking and sending o.
stamps TO different post-ofhcea i,
will be seen by this account that any
absurd rumor conc, rnipg the poisonous
or unclean properties of postage
stamps is utterly without foundation,

A DRY NIAGARA,
ONE OCCASION WHEN THE GREAT CATA
RACT FAILED TO ROAR.

1t seems almost incredible that at
one time in its history the g estest and
most wonderful waterfall in the world
actually ran dry, Nevertheless, it is
an established fact that this occurred
on March 20, lS4S, and for Q few
hours scarcely any water passed over
Niagara Falls.
The Winter of that year had been
an exceptionally severe one, and ice
of unusual thickness had formed on
Lake Erie. The warm spring rains
loosened this congealed mass, and on
the day in question brisk East wind
drove the ice far up into the lake
About sunset the wind suddenly
veered around and blew a heavy gale
from the West This naturally turned
the Ice in iIs course, and, bringing il
down TO the mouth of the Niagara
River, piled it up in q solid, impene-
trable wall.
So closely was it packed and so
great was its force that in a short
time the outlet TO the lake was CON-
pletely choked up, and little or nc
water could possibly escape, In a
very short space of time the water be
low this frozen barrier passed over the
falls, an the next morning the people
in the neighborhood were treated TO 8
most extraordinary spectacle.
The roaring tumbling rapids above
the falls were almost obliterated, and
nothing but the cold, black rocks were
visible in all directions. The news
quickly spread, and crowds of speots,
tors flOoked 10 view the scene. the
banks on each side Of the river beiug
lined with people during the whole
day. AT last there came a break in
the ice; it was released from its re-
strsint; the pent-up wall of wster
rushed downward, and Niagara was
itself again.-Golisjs Days.

Activity In London Streets

The thing that most aatonished me
about London, and that | had been
least prepared to see there, was the
amazing activity in the streets. A
New orker born and bred. who has
seen the principal American cities, fam
cies that there can be nothing in the
world like Fulton Street and Broad
way. But after an hour on foot in
London he will regard that heart of
New York's traffic much as turbulent
old sailor / heard of regarded twenty
two calibre revolver. "Whst are you
going to do with that pea-shooter'" he
asked. "Nobody would be afraid Of
that. Stand off bit and fire at me a
few times till l see what it will do.
Now, if you happened to have knife
about You and felt sassy, Id feel afraid
of you"
London is full of Fulton Streets
and Broadways, and at them and all
the other streets the cabs and hansoms
fly about in such hot and apparently
reckless way that l always felt while l
was there that the only reason | did
not read of hundred thousand "run-
over accidents every morning in the
papers was that it would lie doing
violence to the organic principles of
the London press TO print the news.
| confess | was more than half afraid
to cross the crowded streets, and with
fear which is engendered in Nv
York in few places aud on a few
occasions. was assured by the citiz-
ems that they are all so accustomed TO
project their coat tails at right angles
to their bodies, and to invoke divine
aid between the flying hoofs of horses,
whenever they need TO cross a street,
that they are as adept at it as an Amer
lean lighting-rod man is at lodging
missiles. Yet ! observed tina; Dickens
in his Dictionary of London, thinks
it worth while to suggest that the only
way to go from curb to curb is 10
make up your mind what course you
will take and then stick to it, because
then the London cabbies will divine
your intentions. To change your
mind while en- route is TO confuse the
cabmen, and cause you 10 make your
return journey TO America in the 70 m
of freight. Then, again, found that

Mammoth News.

Mir. Louis Ezekiels, one of the lead ing merchants from Mammoth, called on the Star to-day. He informs us there are now three stores there run by the Mohawk Ranch company store, l.. Ezekiels and J. N. Dodson; one butcher shop, D. E. Hoffman; two saloons, two blacksmith shops, four restaurants and one laundry. The school is being conducted by Miss Heizer with a good attendance. The mill is running night and day thirty stamps. The new Raver amaigamat- ing machine is about complete. Fifty to sixty tons of ore run through the mill every 24 hours. Average of rich ness of ore very good. There are about sixty hands employed in the mill and mine. The average wage; are as good as any paid in the territo- ry.
 Mir. Ezekiels made recent visit tC the mine and the developments or the lower workings show wonderful ! bonanza of ore. In the infancy o the mine Mir. Ezekiels made the first ueNGiOpIHeuIS anu IS dsbOulSHeu tS find the improvements and larg' body of ore developed at depth.
 Speaking of the management th' company were very fortunate in SC curing the services of Capt. Johnston who is showing up the wonderful pos abilities of the property. The who'll business runs with perfect regulariL. and all employed in the mills ant mine are in good spirits.
 The grading has been completed and the foundation for the mortar have been laid. It will be only
 short time till the Mammoth vii have fifty stamps dropping, whicl is splendid evidence of the prosper ity of the mines. The people of tn camp and surrounding country ar, very anxious to have the new roa opened which will bring Mammotl within seven hours drive of Tucson At present it takes ten hours over
 rough road. Mir. Ezekiels expects t, be in here with a petition to increas the subscription list to $l,00O whicl the Star predicts he will have no diff culty in accomplishing, as the peopl now realize the importance of havin this new road.-Tucson Star.

High Salaries.

In many instances, says the Solo knoxville Bulletin, official salaries in Arizona are enormously high, far be- yond the amount necessary to have the duties of office performed by men of competency and honesty. Some officers should be required to do more work or draw less pay. When an officer can make over $2 800 per year it becomes a waste of money. In bus mess life the very best men can be had for that money. The present salaries and fees attached to some offices results in a stampede of poli- ticians to gain them. They can afford to spend 5000 or $4,000 every two years in manipulating conventions and elections, and then get through with big salaries, and few dollars Oh the side for beer We believe in hay ing competent men and paying then liberal salaries, as much as their ser vices are worth; little more than similar services will command Tn com mercial circles

E. c. S G. W. BROWN.

IN another column will be found A communication to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette charging the managers of the Wabash Cattle Com many with corruptions that extend far beyond their herds, and stigmatizing Chief Justice Wright, of Arizona, as their tool in the judicial determina- tion of matters affecting their interests. We cannot vouch for the truthiulness of the grave charges, but their pub licity through the columns of re- putable metropolitan journal entitle them to some consideration. If the facts bear out the statements made by the correspondent the severest penal ties known to the law should be visited upon the parties to the several in iquitous schemes, but public judg- ment should be suspended pending a reasonable opportunity for explana- tions from the accused which, it is hoped, will fully exonerate them. We are naturally suspicious of such long range cannonading, but the author of the article in question displays such Q degree of accuracy in the general outline of the transactions that, in the absence of good proof to the con- trary, it will leave the impression oi it's truthfulness upon the mind, of every one at all conversant with the affairs of which it treats.
