Residents along the lines of the ele,
waited railroads and persons whose
business has brought them on or near
these lines have developed a singular
perlodlclty in intervals of speech as
the result of enforced habit during a
considerable portion of their waking
existence, Involuntarily they cease
speaking, even in the middle of a sen
tence, at the end of each accurately
measured term of four minutes
Should not their attention be called to
the habit by the remark of others,
they will remain silent for few sec
onds-the length of time an elevated
tram ordinarily takes in passing-and
then go on with their speech, unaware
that there has been any break in il
During those few seconds there seems
10 have been entire cessation of
mental action. The interruption is
like wink in steady visual contem,
piation, only that it is little more
protracted. The cause of the habit is
the compulsory stoppage of speech or
increased effort, during the regularly
recurrent deafening roar of passine
trains. Only a portion of those snh,
lected to this influence are affected
oy 1t to the extent described. but
those who are have been noted
IN sufficient numbers to call
attention to this new malady o,
the nerves OF action. Instances of its
manifestation among women are in
ifequent-the deduction from which

A Remedy for Rheumatism

Among the poor popular remedy
FOR rheumatism and other aches and
pains, says The London Hospital, is a
piece OF new flannel applied to the
part anected. If one inquiries why
new flannel Is selected, the explana-
ton given will probably be that there
is mysterious "oil" in new flannel
which is good for the pain; but as a
matter OF fact the merit seems to con
sist IN the power of irritating the skin
which new flannel possesses in q

"To protect the product Of labor Is
10 protect labor" says the high tariff
advocate. This is true only as long
ne tie laborer controls the product Of
ms own toll When man receives
pay for his labor IA such, and gives Ia
another the product Of that labor, the
latter, aud not the former, receives
whatever benefit may accrue from
tax on competing products. The pro.
duet of the labor is protected" but
someone besides the laborer reaps the
benefit. His labor il subject to rui.
nous competition. He is the man who
really needs protection, hut does not
receive it. So this is the situation !:
The capitalist, the manufacturer, the
man who controls the product of labor,
seeks and receives the protection
which the tariff affords The man
who sells his labor has no protection
whatever. He is compelled TO enter
into the sharpest competition with
labor that is dumped upon orr shores
from foreign Countries, while the pro-
duct OF that same labor in those
countries is excluded from our mar
kets. The free entrance OF the pro-
ducts of the "pauper labor" of Europe
would not be half 30 demoralizing as
is the unchecked flow OF that labor H.
self, with all its evil ASSOCIATIONS and
elements of social disorder. IL there
any justice in keeping choice market
for products that the capitalist may
profit By IT, while tho labor employed
in producing them is degraded by
most filthy competition that enfeebles
our institutions and corrupts every
function Of the body politic9 Whether
the protection be great or small, LET il,
at least, be equal. Relieve the honest
,toi,er Of the appalling disadvantage Of
his present position and labor will re-
cover its dignity, and there win be
more happiness, more patriotism,
more enlightenment in the land. We
can well spare the institutions that
thrive only by injustice TO the working
people.-West Shore.

A r.EADER,s OPINION.

A dispatch TO the San Francisco
Examiner contains a letter from Gen.
eral Master Workman Powderly to the
knights of Labor in which he arraigns
the federal election or force bill in the
most vigorous MANNER, saying there is
no more intimidation in four lines OF
that law than in all the southern out.
RACES that have occurred since the war.
He says osborn OF the verbiage, the
bill is intended to perpetuste the ex-
istence of the party in power, and be-
sides is intended TO encourage fraud.
Section Q is the direct violations Of the
contract by which the several States
are bound TO the United States and is
most uuwarrantable interference in
the legislation Of sisterhood OF States.
IL is claimed this law will enable the
colored citizens to vote free from in
timidation and influence. That may
he true outside OF polling places, but !,
simply transfers the intimidation and
influence to the inside of the polling
booth. Why not act the part of mer
and say that colored men are not fiji
10 have a vote for that is what they
mean? II there is body of men in
this land who do not know enough u
defend their ballots with their lives a
the polls, then that body OF men ar
not the kind TO be privileged to vot'
for those who make laws for others"
The letter goes on to say: "Ou
laws should not be framed in such
way as to recognize ignorance or illit
eracy, for 10 recognize illiteracy is /,
perpetuate it, Every law should ain
at the abolition Of illiteracy and in
stead OF making laws 10 guard uncdu
Gated men at the polls, we shoul'
make laws to guard the republic
against illiteracy by obliging all voter
to know how TO read and write befor
voting"
Mr.. Powderly calls upon all knight
of Labor To denounce the supporter
OF the infamous force bill, and advise
them to stand solid against all sucl
neiarious measures.

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
sad Ending OF Useitil and Honor
able Life,

able Life.
About II o'clock on last Thursday
telephone from DeLamar brought the
distressing news that Mr.. William +
Sommercamp, Sr., had fallen into a
shalt on his mining property at Wagon
town and that parties were then try
ing to rescue him. Instantly on re-
ceipt OF the news, William +. Sommer-
camp, Jr., Albert Cordell aud An
thony Brooks started for the mines,
and nearly all the town began watch \
at the telephone Office ioi further news.
A short time later news came that he
was dead. He had fallen into shaft
and died before help could reach him.
His remains were brought to Silver
City during the afternoon and were
inferred in tue cemetery on Friday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, the funeral
taking place from Masonic Hall. con-
Quoted by the Odd Fellows, of which
order he had been an honored member
for many years.
He has during the past year or
more made two or three trips per
week to the mines, and he left here on
Thursday morning as usual. ac-
companied by his son Henry. Arriv-
ing at the mines he started 10 make
some measurements at shaft on the
! st. Clair lode and by some means
tripped and fell backwards into the
: shaft, which was some forty feet deep
! and contained about tea feet of water.
} He doubtless struck on the timbers in
/ his fall, aud before his son could reach
. him he was dead.
E No accident has occurred in many
years in Owyhee county which has
T. occasioned such sincere and universal
a regret. Mr.. Sommercamp has been
: an energetic, liberal and public
D spirited business man in Silver City
a since almost the first opening of the
+ camp, and his long and useful life has
r finally been sacrificed to his energy
. and persistence. For several year,
c past he has divided his time between
5 conducting his extensive stock rancl
e on Succor creek and developing Iii
large mining property at Wagontown
e Some three years ago he met with q
. serious accident while ut his ranch, by
: which one of his thigh bones wa
b broken, and has since been so badl,
crippled that nothing but his indomit
able spirit and energy have kept him il
!, active business.
Mr.. Sommercamp was about @.
:, years old and was born in Germany
tie came to the United States wher
quite young man, stopping for on'
year or more in Missouri, going from
thence TO California, aud from their I,
Humboldt county, Nevada, where h,
did business for some time, leaving
there in the early excitement in III,
new found mines Of this camp in 1865
and coming TO Silver City. where he
has since resided. He accumulated d
comfortable fortune in business here
and leaves to his family a very yalu-
:: able property IN the ownership of the
e group Of mines bearing his name.
He leaves widow, three sons and
one daughter TO mourn his lnss, and
this untimely ending of his life has
cast gloom over this community
a where he has been so long known aud
r universally esteemed. - Silver City

WASHINGTON, April 16. The Pam
American conference Monday adopted
the report of the committee ON banking
and the supplementary report of the
committee on customs regulations rec
ommendipg the establishment of CEN
tral union bureau of information and
statistics concerning customs.
The report of the committee on extra
dition was taken up, discussed briefly
and laid over until Tuesday for action.
The recommendation of the committee
is that the Spanish-American govern
ments shall adopt the report on the pro-
ject of international penal law drafted
by the South American congress of Mon
tevideo, in 1888, as being the best model
to be followed by them in framing the
eXtradition treaties which they may
make with each other. while at the
same time the Spanish-American gov
ernments are recommended to conclude
with the United States special treaties of
extradition founded on other principles,
more suited to the peculiar circum-
stances and habits of legislation of the
latter country, and more in harmony
with the other treaties thus far conclud-
ed between the United States and llany
other nations, both of Europe and

Hamburg, Germany, who about year
ago was induced to invest in mining
properties in Alaska. He comes to Chi

that his venture was abandoned. 81 am

Accompanied by mining experts l in

might be made to the syndicate. We
found nothing to warrant the reports of
the richness of Alaska mines, We are
not sanguine over the prospects and will
advise that the mines be sold. There
may be big profit in those mines, but
we have failed to see it. When we were
in Alaska winter had not broken suffi-

Never More surpris.d m His Life.

RALEIGH, N. c., April 16.-Sheriff
Pulley, of Pearson county, has never had
more thrilling and doubtless unique
experience than that of Friday night
last. A large party of completely masked
men rode up to the Jail in the little town
of Roxboro, knocked at the sheriff's door
and when he opened it rushed in and
compelled him to surrender the keys.
He expected, of course, that they
were after prisoners to lynch them, but
was astonished when they went to cell
in which the deputy revenue collector
had placed quantity of illicit whisky
for safe keeping. After they had recap
tured the whisky they gravely shook
hands with the sheriff, loaded the stuff
on a wagon and forming in regular
marching order left town as quietly as
they had entered it.

CURIOUS OIL DISCOVERED.
1t Sheds a Rose-Colored Light and Emit,
Delicious Fragrance.

1t Sheds n R0se-ColOred Light and Emits
Delicious Fragrance.
BOWLING GREEN, KY, April 16.~-A
well of mineral oil was discovered neal
here Sunday by Ebenezer Cathcart, owner
of truck garden, while boring for water.
1t is SO clear as to be hearty transparent,
of beautiful pale pink color, and, while
entirely odorless when cold, if heated
highly emits a most delicious odor, re-
sembling somewhat ottar of roses,
though more delicate and subtle. An
experiment was tried with a small guam
tity to test its burning property, when it
was found to burn slowly but steadily,
giving soft, clear, lambent flame, shed
ding faint rose-colored light, and fill
ing the air with penetrating fra
GRANGE.
When the oil was consumed, at the
bottom of the vessel was found a deposit
of number of hard, minute particles,
looking like grains of fine stone-colored
sand, which exploded on being placed
in water, with incredible violence when
the size of the particles are taken into
consideration. The oil and its precipi-
tate are now being carefully analysed
and experimental with by the chemists
here, whose opinion as to their proper
ties is being anxiously waited for, for
the beauty of the light the oil gives, its
delicious perfume and the highly explo-
sive quality of the precipitate left, all
seem to point to a discovery of immense
value to the scientific if not to the com
mercial world.
