It is worthy of reiterntion that milk heated
to as high Il a>tenlperature as it can be drunk
or slipped. above 100 degs., but not to the
boiling point, is of great value as refreshing
stiululant in cases of over exertion, bodily or
mental. To most people who like milk it does
not taste so good hot, but that is u small mat

it. Its action is exceedingly prompt and

BURTON CoLBERT'S LIFE AND DEATH

From II Deputy Marshal to Horse Thief.
Afraid of Nothing.
Out i'll Indian territory they have some
York Sum- writing from McAllister, |. T.,
mentions the death recently Of a man named
Burton Colbert.
Colbert was 81 years old at the time Of his
death. The son Of II farmer near Utica, N.
Y, he got into trouble when he was - and
skipped to Fort Smith, Ark. He was fine
horseman, and his first employment at Fort
Smith was in a livery stable. Being of a
genial disposition, everybody liked him. He
soon knew all the storekeepers round about
and was employed to drive drummers.
One day while he was plotting drummer
they were in store kept by an Indian.
There happened to be'a dozen men, mostly
half breeds, about who attempted to get
away with the dru,nlner's goods Colbert
turned iu and shouting Hands up!n ell
forced the order by killing two Of them,
whercupon every man took to flight. Col
bert ordered the drummer to ''gatller up his
duds,'' and then drove him hastily away.
This episode showed of what stuff Colbert
was made, and he was employed as deputy
United States marshall and was usually sent
on the most desperate ,'rands. In March,
lSSl, lie passed through an experience de
tailed by The Sun correspondent.

LIFE IN OTHER WORLDS.
THE TIMES AND SEASONS OF OUR
FELLOW PLANETS.

Celestial Bodies Whose Constitutions r.
Best Known to Us-We Shall Probably
Stay Where We Are.
DO not think that it is at all probable tbat
man could exist even for five minutes on
any other planet Or any other BODY in the
universe We know that even within the
units OF our own earth each one Of us has to
be provided with constitution appropriate
iof particular climate. An Esquimn,1x is
su'eaoly placed in the Arctic regions, negro
on the equator, and were they to change
places 1t is hard to say whether the heat
would not have killed the Esquimaux even
before the cold killed the negro. But such
an attempt at acclimatization would be easy
when compared with that which would be
required before an inhabitant adapted to ono
glooe could accommodate himself to q resi-
dence on another. Indeed, there seem to hc
lnsuperable difficulties in supposing that
there can be any residence for man or for anv
beings nearly resembling man elsewhere thnn
on his own earth.
THE SUN is TOO HOT.
Let us begin with the sun. I thinl, wa
need not give many reasons TO show that n
man could not live there long. Every boy
knows how burning glass can kinde n piece
OF paper by concentrating the suns rays.

1t can be proved that the sl,n h;msolf n,,,st

produced ill the focus of the most powerful
burning glass. Assuredly there can be no
life on the sun.
The next celestial world to the sun in i'm
portance is, of course the moon. Could wa
find here an eligible abode for mankind? The
moon would, no doubt, provide the necessary
alienation from day TO night, but thc dav

ROys of the Training Ship.

Twenty or thirty half-grown lads sat
about table night or 30 ago upon one OF
the splendid steamers of the Fall River line
enjoying q good supper. They wore the
garb of common sailors. All of them
seemed happy and healthy. These boys
are naval apprentices on their way to the
training ship Now Hampshire, at the
Portsmouth navy yard. To-day they will
join about three hundred and fifty COM
rades already there.
"These boys" said the officer in charge,
begin the service Mt 81 "A month, and
are well taught In all grades of common
seamanship. They may reach the grade
of petty officers, but no higher--oxcept in
case of war, when the best of them might
become volunteer officers. We are getting
a very good class of lads for this service,
and most of them American born. Some OF
them have well-to-do parents. Those who
come are usually wild fellows, who need
disciplining. This naval service, as applied
TO them, is n great tanner. II may not be
very elevating, but 1t teaches the boy good
lesson in the art of behaving. The great
preacher Talmage has n boy In this service,
and so has Judge Onderdonk, of Long
Island. While tho officer talked with me,
the lads frolicked and seemed as full of mis-
chief as though they had not yet been cured
of their kittenish ways. Some Of them
seemed bright, smart fellows, who could
grow above the grade of n petty officer II
they had chance. There Is one of the
radical Deficiencies of our naval system.
There is no hope for q seaman to grow into
a commission. In n republic where tho
| low are supposed to have the same chance
| as the high We have an aristocracy more
| arbitrary than In England"

Tho Dominion Is After Redress.

Lord Stanley, of Preston, governor gen.
eral of Canada, in opening Parliament, on
Thursday, made the following address:
In calling you together again for the con :
sideratiOn of public affairs, l may fairly
congratulate you on a continuance of pro-
gress and prosperity of the country. During
the recess l visited Manitoba and tho
Northwest territories and British Colum-
bia, and everywhere I found myself re-
ceived with the loyalty and good will
which have learned to be characteristic
of Canada. A comparison of my own OBJ
servatiops with those of my predecessors
shows clearly the great progress which has
marked this part of the Dominion in the
settlement of the country and in the do.
velopment ofits great agricultural capabil-
tiles, of its mineral wealth and ofits natural
resources.
In consequence of the repeated seizu res
by the cruisers of the United States navy
of Canadian vessels, while employed in the
capture of seals In that part of the northern
Pacific ocean known as Behring sea, my
government has strongly represented u
her majesty's ministers the necessity OF
protecting our shipping while engaged IN
their lawful calling, rs well as guarding
against the assumption by any nation ol
exclusive proprietary rights in those
waters. l feel confident that those repre-,
sensations have had due weight, and
hope to be enabled, during the present
session, to assure you that all differences
on this question are in the course of salts
factory adjustment.

The Frederick Claim.

The city of Frederick, Maryland, has
y claim before Congress which is
watched with great interest by many
other cities. 1t is for the repayment of
two hundred thousand dollars contri-
button levied on the city of Frederick by
General Jubal Early, during his famous
raid. 1t is claimed that the government
should have protected Maryland, and
~ 1t failed to do so, it should pay all
damages resulting from this failure of
duty. 1t Is easy TO see that II this arsu
ment prevails there will be q perfect
avalanche Of similar claims, and Early's
war raid will be duplicated in cost by a
raid on that tempting surplus from all
the towns and villages of the border
states. Our neighbor York is wide
awake to the force Of its own claims for
the restitution of a large sum disbursed
under similar circumstances. Carrying
: the argument further South, 1t might
be very hard to determine whether the
cash contributed to the Confederate cause
was given with sufficient reluctance to
Justify the demand for its return. The
raiders had way Of oflevying upon towns
of doubtful loyalty, and it would be a
pretty state Of things if cash assistance
~ the Confederacy should now be re-
WarSled by the government. 1t will be
dinicult TO draw the line below whi, IA
claims of this kind shall not hold, and
u the Frederick contribution Is refunded
there will he fine mangling of town
histories In the scramble for cash.
Nevertheless, there seems to be sound
.oEound for Frederick's claim. If Gen.
ersl Early was permitted by the United
efates 70 seize upon 500, 900 belonging
- Frederick 3 citizens, wherefore should
{ eot the United States repay the money
- Il not its clear duty to keep other
armies than its own from preying upon
ehe people? And as 1t would clearly
have TO refund any cash seized by its
own army, Is 1t not much more the fact
hat Il must refund the money seized by
- allen army that it was its business TO

Congressman Keiiey's Death Alleged to
Bo Duo to tho Weed.
The New York World, commenting on
Judge Kclley's death, says:
Judge William D. Kelley's death was
undoubtedly caused by tobacco. For the
last three or four years he has not used the
weed in any shape, but prior to this time
He smoked steadily for two generations,
and, not content with getting away with q
number Of cigars during tho daytime, he
would 20 10 bed at night with quid OF
tobacco In his check. When he erNe he
would take another chew. and after break
The result was that his system became
saturated with nicotine, and cancerous
growth arose In his check where tho quid
rested at night. This cancer became ap.
parent about the time that Grant died Of
TOO much nicotine, and about the time that
Hancock passed away.
Judge Kelley's doctors told him that this
cancer would have to be cut away, and that
he must stop the use Of tobacco II he would
save his life. There was no man In the
United States who had stronger will than
had Judge Kelley, and though over 70
very painful one, but he grew better i'm.
mediately the cancer was cut away, and
he said about year after this time that he
never had felt better than he did then. He
said, however, that the desire for tobacco
was Mt times almost maddening, and that
he had to avoid places where he had TO
breathe tobacco smoke, as this increased
his desire for It. When the craving became
so strong that he could hardly stand IL h0
would sometimes bite Off the end OF cigar
and hold 1t in his mouth for a few moments
and then throw 1t away. He IL probably
the only Instance in history OF a great man
who was so far master of himself that he
could quit the use of tobacco aftcr the

special committee on the bursting of tho
Johnstown dam, containing opinions of the
best experts, has been prepared, but in
view of the many suits pending for dam
ages growing out of the disaster, 1t was
decided to seal the document and keep it
secret among the members of the COM
mittee. In regard to the efforts to effect "A
general adoption of the "a hours notation
for railways the committee on standard
time reported that they had received re-
plies to their inquiries from nearly 600
men prominent in railway affairs. Only a
few of these were opposed TO the adoption
of the new scheme. Some 37S railroad
ofiicials-presidents vice presidents, gen
eral managers, superintendents and chief
engineers = favored the adoption of tho
new system, These S7S officials represented
l35,0O0 miles of railway. Appended TO the
report was memorial to the government
asking that action be taken in favor of the
