THE Rocky Mountain News damn S
Denver by bell, book and candle for
having no sewers and draws an aw-
full picture, several columns long, of
its unsavory and unsanitary condi-
ton and says paving can be deferred
sewers cannot be. Now comes the
Denver Republican and punctures
this windy effusion in six line edi-
torial as follows:
"The entire business section of the
city is thoroughly provided with SAN
itary sewers and has been sOprOvided
for the past seven years. Paving is
the next necessary public improve
ment, and it must be finished during
the present year"
There is space enough between
these two statements for a full gath
ering of the Ananias club.
THERE is need most imperative Of
such change in our immigration and
naturalization laws as will etfectually
protect this country. AS this is a pro-
tective administration the nation at
large looks to it for protective legisla-
ton. On this point the Philadelphia
Ledger says pertinently:
The naturalization laws and immi-
grafton laws, and such others as may
have to do with the admission of dan
gerous aliens into the United States,
urgently need the most scrutinizing
revision with the view of establishing
a moral quarantine for the safety OF
our institutions, at leaat equal in eff
ficiency to that which shuts out foul
and dangerous physical disease.
The country will not look in vain
for such protective legislation as is
needed, at the hands of the fifty-frst
congress.

A Bogus Sarant,.

There is humbug, even in the field of
learned fads, where the commercial
element is not supposed to cut any
figure at all. They tell story, for
instance, of the facile Swellby, who en-
joys considerable reputation among
society people as a literary man, and
has certain standing among literary
men as a society person, and who of
late has taken up the fad Of Egyptology.
You would suppose, to hear Swellby
talk about Egypt, that he knew every
shred of fact that Ebers or Mariette, OF
Edwards had unearthed from the pyra-
mids and the tombs, and had made the
personal acquaintance of every mummy
of prominence from the third cataract
clear down to TOMS. But the other
night at the club, the irrepressible
Grigson set trap to catch Swellby.
The latter came into the room at a mo-
ment when the well-known DIR. Cheops
Chipstone, real Psychologist, who
knows tho Egyptian language even bet
ter than he does English, happened to
be sitting, half-concealed to the group
about the table, behind a big easy chair,
in q dark corner.
Hello" said Grigson, ahere's an
Egyptian question for you, Swellby."
Chipstone, behind the big chair,
pricked up his ears.
"What is it?' asked Swellby.
"Do the Inscriptions on the Egyptian
tombs read from rightto left or from
left to right?"
Swellby knew nothing whatever
about it. But he presumed on the
ignorance of the company.
"They read from left to right" he
said.
"Blockhead!" shouted Cheops Chip
stone, swinging around in the big chair ;
"dont you know that they read from
top to bottom ?"
Swellby made up his mind that it was
best to adopt new fad, and it is really
said that he is going in for Ibsenism. -

New Gas Invention.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch describes
new invention by Mr.. William Root
which promises important results.
1t consists of the combination of air
with the gas as it issues from the
burner. The experiment made was
with small revolving fan on the same
shaft that runs the other machinery.
A pipe from this connected from be-
meath with a glory hole and ran up to
the center Of the burner. Heretofore it
has required the valve wheel on the gas
supply pipe to be turned once and a
half around to supply enough pressure
for the glory hole, but when the air was
turned on, the wheel only required to
be moved one-quarter inch. The usual
pressure to glory hole is one ounce.
while in this case the pressure was
very small fraction of this amount.
Mr.. Root said that by putting the air
in all the burners the pressure in the
factory could be reduced to three ounces

urired 8@#t 3s

One Of Wanamaker,s Stories,

The story told of the Postmaster
Generals methods of picking up in
formation reminds me of story he
tells himself 1t shows the same char
acteristics of disdaining nothing, says
the Washington correspondent to the
New York Tribune.
When Bethany Sunday School was
being built q few years ago. the trustees
found that they needed more money
than they had at first supposed. The
building was going up in good shape,
but at one of their meetings, they dis
covered that they had made no pro-
vision for the ventilation of the main
room. All the people who had given
were discussed, and it was decided that
they would not be called upon again.
There was only one man, wealthy
marble dealer, who had refused aid,
and no one had the courage to attack
him, as he was not only miserly but
violent. At last Mr.. Wanamaker, who
is one of the trustees, offered to go in
person to the marble dealer and pre-.
sent him picture of children suffo.
eating in Sunday School for need oi
air. He went to the old gentleman's
office, which was in his marble-yard,
and, as he passed in, he noticed 9
twelve foot iron basin, which in former
days had been fine fountain, but the
running of which the marble dealer had
stopped, when he bought the place, as
the water supply drew too heavily or
his purse. Mr.. Wanamaker presented
| the case.
"Not cent, sir, not cent for such
frivolities." said the marble dealer.
Mr.. Wanamaker was daunted, but a.
he rose to go, his eye caught the shafts
Of marble outside.
eff you do not wish to give money,
he began, with wicked intent of arous
ing the old gentleman's ire again, ''yor
might send over block of marble, II
could be sold or might be used some
way in the building"
The marble dealer was furious. IA
saw that his visitor was making game
of him and was about to make some
violent answer, when he happened tt
see the iron basin without.
"H'm," he chuckled, "there's that ole
fountain out there. I've tried severa
times to give it to draymen to sell fol
old iron if they would cart it away
You can have that for your Sunda,

A Forty.DoIIar Joke.

If prominent physician over in the
northwest hasn't got even with one
practical joker then it doesn't lie in the
telling The physician lives in very
modern establishment. Not only is
there a special night-bell, but a speak
ing tube connects the door-steps with
the head of his bed. The practical
joker has had fun with this. He has
been coming along about 80 q. m. and
standing on the opposite corner and
laughing until his sides aehed thinking
how funny he was and what good time
he was having Then he would cross
over and ring the night-bell and howl
mp the speaking tube as if whole regi-
block had ten-minute cholera and were
dying by the wagon-load. And the
poor, tired doctor would rouse out Of
his first sweet sleep and "hello' down
the tube. Then the funny man would
say:
"Does DIR. j. live hereT
"Yes."
Have you lived here long?"
"For twenty years. Who are you?
| w h1u biAO OlhAOo wv JOu Wdhbs
"Just want to know why you don't
move. That's all. Tai tap
And then the funny man bounces
down into the street and scoots home,
where he laughs for half an hour
straight
He didn't laugh half so much the
other night. The doctor was loaded
for him. He knew that laugh and that
yell, and he struck funnel in the tube
and poured in two quarts of acquafortis,
Stafford's indelible ink, liquid lye, and
few chemical whihs of torment. It
gurgled and gurgled for one second and
then struck Dofunny in the mug just as
he opened his mouth for another howl.
i 1t came with thirty-foot fall and aten-
pound pressure to the square inch.
He swallowed pint before he could
get his mouth shut, and the impromptu
hose played away all over his face and
silk hat, and shirt front, and dress
suit. 1t was roof-raiser, and curled
him like cockroach on hot shovel.
1t will cost the doctor $40 for plumb
ing, but he grins every time he thinks
of it. WGihi71gt tom Post.

They paused by the back steps. The
landlord took the lantern and held it up
as high as his head. They saw that the
parlor door at the top of the steps was
ajsr.
-Hilloal" said Ryder.
There was no answer.
An underlined sense of dread was at his
heart; q sickening sense of what the
opening of that door might reveal.
I don't believe there is anyone in
there, he said.

sturdy Tobias.
A thought occurred to the Landlord. He
was suddenly prompted to do something

this night.

@All night, il you wull"
Leaving the hostler thus on guard and
preceded by the boy with the lantern,
Ryder went down to the water. It had
occurred to him that he ought to lool
fol, footprints on the beach before the re-
turning tide would make the quest use
less.
He found them-many of them. With.
in three yards of the steps he came upor
plain marks OF mans shoes, regularly
impressed upon the sand and perfectly
retaining their shape as they led down il
twos toward the water, just as a person
would make them in walking.
Within about the same distance W
from the water these footmarks were min.
gled with many others, pointing to thu
| inn. A little lower down the prints o.
shoes were so confused and blended to-
gether that no one could be accuratel!
made out. 1t was as if there had been /
rushing and tramplng about by more thar
one person; by several persons, it nigh
be.
Where the beach was lost in the water
the sands we're furrowed and ridged abou
in places. Closely examining all thes
signs Of something dreadful, yet to b.
disclosed, often kneeling down and study
ing and counting the footprints by tn
lantern-light, Dick Ryder consumed twic
ten minutes.
Another thought occurred to him ant
he acted on it. Going little way dowl
the beach, he dragged one of his fee
slowly and heavily along on the sand
The result was just such another ridget
furrow as he had observed by the water.
He gave one look out upon the ba.
and up and down the beach. He coult
see but little distance; but there wa
no light nor sound of oars on the water
no signs of life on the shore-save thos
footprints.
He hastened back to the steps, ant
hesitated not an instant to enter the par
lor.
1t was in darkness, except for the ligh
of the lantern. 1t was deserted. 1t wa
place of utter confusion, Marks of
grapple, of an encounter, were plain t
be seen.
The heavy center-table was tippe
over. The velvet cover was rent almos
in twain. The large branch of wax can
dies was on the floor, the candles stampe
and crushed into the carpet.
Two small stains of reddish colo
were seen on white figure Of the carpet
The boy picked up something, looked o
it, and cried out.
Ryder took it and examined it. 1t wa
clasp knife, which might be shut an
carried in the pocket, but was six inche
in the blade. Red stains were on th
blade.
"Bloodl" he whispered.

How They Dance on Tip-TOe.

There is popular impression thai
ballet dancers have the soles Of their
shoes made stiff so as to enable them
to dance about on their toes.
@That is nonsense, and Miss Qualtz
"a premiere danseuse) exhibited a pair
Of her dancing shoes to illustrate.
"You can't stand up this way with
your ordinary shoes on, and the pre-
miere gracefully mounted her toes and
viewed the reporters $3 footwear with
extreme disgust.
IA stiff sole in the shoe would not
help, but absolutely prevent dancing.
And, besides the strain is not on the
toes, but it comes on the rear Of the
ankle. / believe that's what you,
Americans call it. But by keeping the
body in the proper position, much Of
the strain is relieved, and the dancer
appears much more graceful to those
who understand what correct ballet
dancing is. Washington Post

Unclaimed Consols.

One curious result of the conversion of
British consols, was the discovery of
large amount upon which interest was un-
claimed, and some for the principal for
which there were no owners at all. Out
of 6S 900 notices posted, there were re-
turned through the dead letter office, owing
to defective addresses, IL 700, Of which,
only about 1900 admitted of being reposted
to fresh addresses. Many of the letters SO
returned we're marked deceased, anu
from this and other sources, the bank
learned for the first time that hundreds OF
stockholders were dead.
Many persons were reminded by the
notices that they were owners OF STOCK
which they had been too careless to claim
for many years, while others were made
aware. for the first time, that they had
money in the funds, and in some instances
the stock in question, about which there
was this agreeable surprise, amounted 10 as
much as $1,000, with many back dividends
accrued.
The redemption operations were contln-
ned till the end of September, 1889, and
when they were concluded, there remained
at the Bank of England, q sum of 81, o49,-
755 due to stock holders, but unclaimed.
This sum was credited to TO- 900 accounts,
which included more than forty holdings
of over 100000, the holding of one lndl-
vidual in consols and reduced threes
amounting together to $187, 598. In add
ton, there were unclaimed stocks in the
hands of the national debt commissioners
amounting to e576, 366, so that the total
! amount Of stock for which no owners
could be found was IS, 246, 141.-M0ntre0!
