PAY OF LEGISLATORS.
What the Statesmen of Various Nation
Receive for Their Services.

What the Statesmen OF various NATIONS
Receive for Their Services.
Some curious statistics have just been
published concerning the salaries given
the members of Parliament in the vari-
Gus nations. To begin with, in the
United States of America the members
of both branches of Congress receive the
same amount of pay-namely, $1,000 per
annum. In France it is the same-mem-
bers of each house receiving the same
81 per day. In Belgium each member
of the Chamber of Representatives gets
Sit month. In Denmark the mem
bers of the Landsthing each receive
about t5s. day. In Portugal the Peers
and Commons are paid the same sum,
which is about e67 year. In Sweden
the members of the Diet receive EGG for
a session of four months, but they have
to pay fine of Us. for every days alb
sence. In Switzerland the members in
the National Council get los. per diem
and the Council of State, the lower
House, IS.
In Norway the members of the Stor-
thing receive las. per day during the
session, which usually lasts about six
weeks, but which has been extended to
that many months. In Italy the Sen
ators and Deputies are not paid at all,
but they are allowed travelling expenses
and certain other privileges. In Spain
the members of the Cortes are also I'M
paid for their services, but enjoy many
advantages and immunities. In Greece
the Senators get eco per month and the
Deputies 910. In Germany both houses
receive about los. per day. In Austria
the pay is the same as in France, 81
day.
England is the only country whore
members of Parliament are not only I'M
paid, but have no rights or privileges
whatever.-St Louis Republic

1t is not thought to make much differ
ence wht Their hogs SIX is clean or not
jnd!ing from the general custom in feed
ing But this is contrary to fact, for il
has been amply demonstrated that an an
imal with clean skin does not consume
as much as one not kept clean and gives
a better return for the food eaten.

Invention of Postage Stamps.

The postage stamp will celebrate u
fiftieth anniversary this year. The ID
vention is due to printer James Cnas
mers, of Dundee, who died in 1853, anu
who finally, with his system, the az
hesive postage stamp, conquered sn0
whole civilized world. England, niy
years ago, introduced the postage STAMP
and according to decree of DecemOs'
81, 1889, issued the first stamps for pu0
lie use ON May 8, 1910. A year later tnsj
were introduced in the United States =,
North America and Switzerland, aA'
again, few years later, in Bavaria pc
GUM and France. One of the most IN
portant and valuable collections oil po's,
age stamps is in the German lmperl".

PORTLAND MARKET.

Business In all lines is represented as
being pretty good, orders coming in by
the hundred from the inland towns. The
appearance of wheat buyers from Seattle
in Eastern Oregon to share in the exp IS
next fall will have the effect of stimulat-
ing farmers to larger fields of grain, and
will enable agricultural land to meet with
ready sale to newly arrived settler The
weather is gradually, but very G 'ually,
becoming more what it usually is at this
season of the year, and when spring has
fairly set in upon us, we may confidently
predict that times will be lively.

AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.

Fred Whitesides and Wife Have . Narrow
Escape From Serious Injury.
Yesterday afternoon while Fred White
sides and wife were driving down
Hoback street in a two horse
buggy, the clip on the neck
yoke broke and the horses became fright
ened and ran away, despite the efforts Of
Mr.. Whitesides to control them. The
horses tore along at terrific speed, threaten
ing destruction tn the occupants Of the We
hicle, finally overturning it and throwing
Mr.. and Mrs. Whitesides to the ground.
Mrs. Whitesides was severely bruised and
tainted from the shock. Drs. Steele and
Carmichael were called to attend the suf-
ferer, but found that the injury to the lady
was not of serious nature. Mr.. Whitesides
escaped without bodily hurt. The horses
ran down Helena avenue to the depot,
where they were caught.

VAGABONDS AND THIEVES,
Tho City Jail is Full and Still
They Continue to Come in
Droves.
The Sherwood Sisters Robbed OF
Property Valued at 82OO
Yesterday Afternoon.
Cronin Takes Charge Of the Marshal's OF
vags In Jail.

The city jail if full of vags. drunks and
disorderlies, and several of these are pre-
sumed to be burglars. This is about the
season of the year when the tramps and
vagabonds of every description begin their
annual pilgrimage to the west. Some of
them are an inoffensive, shiftless lot, while
others belong to seeasaaa Of rogues whose
presence in any community fara continual
menace to it's peace. They rob, pick pock-
cts and commit all manner of crime and
are seldom caught. A number of robberies
have been committed in Helena within the
last few days. Houses are entered in the
night time and the premises robbed of
whatever can be conveniently carried away.
The police run in thirteen hard characters
professional burglars. The names as writ
on the police records are as follows: Mo
Ginty, John johnson. Wesley Polow, Pat
Muldoon, John Morg, ]. NJ. Cole, John Fe-
berg, Chris. Gunderson. I'd. Fitzpatrick,
G. Mack, H. M. Sullivan, X. Z. Fitzpatrick,
John Hanson.
Marshal Z. j. Cronin took charge of his
Office Saturday evening and will have the
business Strengthened out within the next
few days. It is probable that some new
police will be appointed in place of the
ones now on the force and a vigilant watch
Will De Kept on all suspicious CnaracCerB.
Bill LaRue, one of the oldest policemen
in the CITY, resigned last week after a con-
tinual service of six years. Bill was good
man on the force and his absence will be
felt. He intends to devote some time il,
improving his property in this city. ]
A robbery took place on Water street
yesterday afternoon that for boldness and
reoklessness has not been equaled in the
city. The Sherwood sisters, who are en-
ployed at the Wood-street coliseum, oocu-
py a brick cottage on Water street.
Yesterday afternoon they went out to lunch
about 3 O'Clock, and during their absence
the premises were entered by thieves, and
property to the value of about 800 was
stolen. They did not discover their loss
until the Chinese laundryman came in
with bundle of clothes. One of them
took the pocket-book from the bureau
drawer for the purpose of paying the Chi
naman, when it was discovered that the
$27-had been stolen. Further search re-
vealed the fact that jewelry and .ther
articles to the value of about $3.50 had been
stolen. The thief or thieves had not been
apprehended at last accounts.
