Another Crank Bobs Up.

The Rev. George Gray, of Chicago, at
the Central Pennsylvania Methodist con-
ference, a few days ago, declared that the
southern blacks we're arming Tois cacssi
a flGtter Of excite nent, which was increased
when he declared that he knew it to be 4
| fact that within the last month a. least a
| dozen Winchester rifles had bsen sent from
Chicago to colored people in certain south
ern locality When Questioned subsequently,
by a reporter. he said that his information
was reliable, ami that the rifles were sent by
Chicago editor.
1t IS hardly worth while TO inquire into
Mr.. Gray's motives in making these state
nents As he is the secretary OF northern
society for promoting education among the
southern colored people, and as he attributed
the bad feeling Of the southern blacks
maialy - illte-acy, hs may desire to induce
the conference TO do something toward re-
moving the cause. As he was careful to in
terlsct into his statement a reference TO tbs
alleged brutal treatment Of the blacks Of
this section by the whites, he may wish to
assist the northern republican editors in
creating wrong impression Of affairs in
this section. 1t may ba that he Is crank
who thirsts for notoriety, and this probably
is the SUN aad substance of the VIII Die
matter.
AT any rate. he brings a specifc ch arge
against Chicago editor. and curiosity will
be aroused as 10 the editors name. The
editors Of both the Tribune and the Inter-
Ocean are much given to writing inf am

possible that one of them Is secretly fur
nishing southern colorel people with arms.

race riotl Is there such a booi-thirsty
person on one Of the Chicago newspapers!
IL so, the impre 'Sion that such parsons exist

will be aroused is the exact locality to which

to move the inyes igation of alleged southern
outrages, might have a committee appointed

WASHINGTON TOPICS
The Montana Election Problem
Before the Senate.
SPEECHES BY VEST AND INGALLS,
The Chinese Census Bill to be Called Up
and Disposed Of

Tha House Adjourns on the Announce
ment of Mr.. Randalrs Death-A Long
Debate Expected ON tho Appropriation
BiIl-Mr. Mckinley to Report His Tariff
Bill-Republican Caucus Tonight.
WASHINGTON, April 14.-The Senate
to-day is graphing with the Montana
election problem, with some prospect
that it will be disposed Of before the
end of the week.
Several Senators are DESTROYS of max
ing speeches on the Montana cases. Mr..
Vest may be heard from, and If he
speaks Mr.. Ingalls, has signiied his In
tention of following for the purpose of
making some brief but pointed com
ments on the now famous letter on the
Montana cases which Mr.. Vest wrote
not long ago. The cases will be dis
posed Of this week, however; of that
there Is little doubt.
When they are out of the way and
the Republican contestants, Messrs.
Saunders and Power, have been seated,
Mr.. Hale will maks an effort to have the
Chinese Census bill taken up and dis
posed of. 1t has been discussed at some
length and if Mr.. Hale can succeed in
getting it before the Senate it may be
disposed of very quickly.
In the regular order of business the
Administrators Dill, DetteI AAO~u a.
the Mckinley bill, follows the Montana
resolution, but it may be laid aside for
the Chinese bill. When it Is taken up
it will be passed without much discus
sion There was no objection to IT In
committee, and the Republicans expect
none on the floor. Incidental to the
consideration of the measures named
will be the action of the Senate on one
or more of the appropriation bills which
will be reported from the Committee on
Appropriations during the week.
The bills which will likely be re-
ported are the District of Columbia bill,
the Pension bill and the Army Appro-
priation bill. The Notifications bill
also may be reported. OF these the
District of Columbia bill and the Army
bill will likely be passed this week and
they may provoke some debate. Possibly
also there will be one or more set politi-
cal speeches, although the only order of
business fixed for any particular time is
the consideration Of resolutions Of re-
spect to the memory of the late Edward
]. Gay, of Louisiana, which Mr.. Gibson
has given notice he will call up on Fri
day at o'clock. Saturday will likely
be devoted to measures on the calendar
unless one Of the Appropriation bills
interferes.

ANCIENT HUMAN EYRIES.

The QDeer Homes OF the CLIFF Dwellers n
the Far West.
Here and there on that portion Of the
Denver & Rio Grande railroad, near Es-
pamela, or along the romantic branch
to the mining region of Silverton, bor-
dering the San Juan Valley, glimpses
may be caught of ancient human eyries
perched high up on the face of what ap-
pear to be inaccessible cliffs. 1t looks
as If no animal except the sure-footed
goat or the channels could reach them.
Leaving the line at Durango, a drive
OF twenty miles through magnificent
scenery opens up near view Of one Of
the most celebrated groups of cliff
dwellings. The perpendicular buttress-
like walls of the deep valley contract
and furnish an impregnable castle.
Access from above is apostolic. From
below there's narrow zigZag path that
conducts to some lodges high up the
side.
On these lodges. partly clinging to the
surface, partly built within shallow
assures of the rock, sometimes seven
hundred feet or more above the ground,
are the remains of the dwellings of the
early denizens of the valley. They are
usually of two stories. They are built
OF the contiguous sandstone. Each block
is about fourteen inches by six, care
fully cut and accurately fitted. The
cement is now harder than the rock
itself.
On the ground fioor-if that be not q
| misnomer when the building is half
poised in the air-are usually two or
| three rooms, from six to nine feet square,
| with partition walls of faced stone. The
| upper story was originally divided from
| the lower by wooden floor, portions of
| which are sometimes found, and also re-
| mains of the cedar beams over the doors
| and windows.
The rooms are about six feet in height.
They are roughly plastered, the color
being dull red. No traces of stairways
have been found, and the upper cham
| berS must have been entered from with
I out The windows are square openings,
with no appearance of shutters. They
| are so placed as to command a view of
the valley.
Outside, on the rocky ledge, suitable
little inches are built into slopes re-
sembling modern cupboards. Water
reservoirs, holding two or three hogs
heads, are formed in convenient angles
| and recesses. Sometimes the natural
ledge is widened or strengthened by ar
tificial means. In other cases an abut-
ment Of masonry is constructed on .
smooth piece of rock at an acute angle.
Many OF these cliff-dwellings have
never been entered within living MEM
DRY, nor are they likely to be reached.
In the slow tritura ton of time the lodges
have crumbled away, or the narrow
tracks leading to them have been COW
cred. 1t is not easy even with power
full glass, to define some of these old
habitations. The glare of the sunshine,
the rarefaction of the atmosphere and
the identity of color with the rocks in
crease the difficulty caused by the alti-
tude.
Such dwellings are invariably founi
with full eastern aspect, so as to cate
the first beams of the morning sun.-N

SEWING ON BUTTONS.

If You Don't Know How to Do 1t Read
This Article.
To the mother of family the subject
of buttons is an important one. The
buttons that are ''gone-fOrever gone"
and have to be replaced, occupy not a
small portion of her time and thoughts.
She wonders, often and despairingly, if
there is no way in the world that they
could be sewed on to stay.
There may be some mild-mannered,
q uiet people in this world whose buttons
never come off; who never find shoe
buttons missing and glove buttons van
ished just as shoes and gloves are need
ed. But the majority of healthy. active
men, women and children break off and
loosen buttons as surely as they wear
out clothes and shoes. This means sew
ing on again for somebody, and the
woman who is responsible for the butt
tons of two or three or more people can
afford to put thought into her work
that will mako the buttons stay on
longer than they would without it. She
can make her head save her hands.
In the case Of shoes, gloves or any
article bought in shop where the sew
ing is not done under your orders, sew

staying on for a few wearings. There
is no thread or time wasted sewing but.

Do not use too coarse a thread for
shoe buttons; a smooth, tight-twisted
one is better. Always wax your thread,
and put knots on the right side; it is
more comfortable, and the knots are

ing them, pick out all threads left I'M
derneath. Leave a loose thread be-
thread too tight or jerk it in sewing.
A loosely sewed button fastens moro
easily, and so has Tess strain on it.
No button should be sewed on tightly.
Begin by putting your knot through on
the right side. Place the button over

mot DOWN, with your left thumb.
and draw your thread evenly,
slowly, never too firmly. Make good
neck with your thread and finish off on
the right side with a twisted knot with
out too many stitches. The under.
clothes always have an extra piece OF
cloth under the button, and let no gar.
ments be buttoned too tightly. For
skirts it is we'll to have two buttons and
button-holes a couple of inches apart
in case of one giving way. Whenever
your material allows use..silk for sewing
on buttons; it pays.
Lastly, sew not with sorrow, but pa.

sometimes the buttons come of again.

WHAT are said to be the most extern
sive frauds ever perpetrated upon the
pension bureau in Indiana came to light
with the arrest of Representative Lee
Wilson, CT Shelby county, on an indict
ment by the federal grand jury. The
evidence showed that Wilson had Sc
cured 81 annullments of marriage in tt Q
Shelby county court, and in each case
had received fee of from $50 to $40.
The women who were thus freed were
widows Of soldiers who had remarked,
and the incentive was restoration to the
pension rolls. Only one of the cases
passed through the courts in legal
manner, it is alleged, all the other de-
crees being secured by fraud, and the
entries made through collision with the
deputy clerks.

WESTON, w. Va, April 14.-At the re-
cent election in this place a Prohibition
council and mayor We're elected. Their
refusal to grant liquor licenses cut
down the estimated revenue for the
year nearly 50 per cent. Phe town had
made heavy contracts for lighting and
improvements, and the Prohibition
council foresaw q heavy deficit. In
order to escape the difficulty the entire
council has resigned within the last
two weeks, and nobody can be persuaded
to fill their places. The town is with
out government and without revenues,
and meanwhile the sale of liquor goes
merrily on.

1T is easy to delude people. To-
Monday is the day when according to
the prediction of one Erickson, San
Francisco and its suburb, Oakland, and
perhaps few other towns will be swal-
lowed by an earthquake. Some few
wholly or half-crazed fanatics put faith
in the San Francisco imposter. and have
sold their houses and goods for cash at
ruinous prices. Others, not fully con-
WINGED. but preferring to be on the safe
side, have gone out Tito the mountains
and hills in the neighborhood and are
camping there, where they can see the
catastrophe without danger.

IN THE HOUSE.

The Death of Dir. Randall Announced
and the Usual Committee Appointed
WASHINGTON, April 14.-The death of
Representative Samuel ]. Randall will
interfere with the programme in the
House for the week, as originally in
tended. To-day Is District Of Columbia
day, and to morrow it was intended to
call up and finish consideration of the
Naval Appropriation bill, but the Hou 9
adjourned as soon as Mr.. Randa IFS
death was announced and the usual
funeral.
On Wednesday the contested election
cases Of Bowen against Buchanan from
the Ninth Virginia district, and Posey
against Parrett from the First Indiana
district will be disposed Of In each
of these cases the Elections Committee
has been unanimous in favoring tho re-
tention by the Democrats of the seats
now held by them, and consequently
will be perfunctory. Mr.. Cheadle Of
Indiana has said he intended to fight
against the committees report, but his
friends are endeavoring to persuade
him no to do this.
The Legislative, Executive and Judi
cial Appropriation bill has been re-
ported to the House and Mr.. Butter
worth of Ohio intends to call it up for
consideration some time during the
week. The debate on the bill may last
several days. Saturday, after the con-
elusion of the morning business, will
be devoted to the delivery of eulogies
on the life and character of the late
Samuel Sullivan Cox.
The two vital questions now before
the country will be considered outside
the House in caucus and committee
during the week. Unless the unex-
pectsd happens M. Mckinley will re-
port the long -expected Tariff bill from
the Ways and Means Committee early
in the week, while Mr.. Carlisle will
present tho views of the minority in
opposition to the bill. The question Of
fixing time for debate and for voting
on the bill will be considered in the
Republican caucus called for tonight
The silver question is now under con-
sideration in caucus committee and
cauouses of both House and Senate will
likely be hold before the end of the
week to determine on . party measure.

THE Hartford Carpet company, whose
mills at Thompsonville employ 1900
operatives, have been running on win
ter's schedule of 81 hours per week.
On April 8, notices were posted that the
mills will run on the GO hour schedule
after April 81, but instead of increased
earnings the operatives are to have their
pay cut per cent under the present
figures, making practically 10 per cent
reduction. The company claim that the
depression in the carpet trade and injury
to business by the duty on carpet woods
necessitate the reduction.

FALL OF A WATER TANK.
1t Crashes Into n Philadelphia Theatre
and Creates Quite n Panic.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April IA 5000
gallon water tank, weighing with its
contents over twenty tons, crashed
through the roof of the Park Theatre,
in this city, yesterday afternoon, wreck
ing in its descent the paint frame, some
of the scenery and about one-half of
the stage. The tank went clear through
to the cellar, where everything was
flooded.
The conclusion caused by the fall was
so great that window glass and dishes
in the adjoining houses were broken,
and quite panic prevailed for time.
A large force of carpenters were at
once put to work, and temporary repairs
will be completed in time for this
evenings performance. 1t is supposed
that the timbers supporting the tank
were not heavy enough to bear the
weight and gave way.
