Something About Round Sholders.

A STOPPING figure and a hating gait,
accompanied by the unavoidable weak,
ness of lungs incidental to a narrow
chest, may be entirely cured by very
simple and easily performed exercise OF
raising ones self upon the toes leisurely
in perpendicular position several times
daily. To take this exercise properly one
must take perfectly upright position,
with the heels together and the toes al
an angle Of forty five degrees. Then drop
the arm lifelessly by The sides animating
and raising the chest to Its full capacity
muscularly. the chin well drawn in. and
the crown of the head feeling as if at
tached to a string suspended from the
ceiling above. Slowly rise up on the balls
of both feet to the greatest possible
height, thereby exercising all the muscles
of the legs and body; come again into
standing position without swaying the
body back ward out of the perfect line
Repeat this same exercise, first ON one
foot, and then on the other. 1t is wGn

this exercise has upon round shoulders
and crooked backs, and one will be sur.

to show the effect of such expansive

Lifting the Hat.

Do you boys ever think, as they raise
their hat to lady or girl friend, why re-
spect should be shown in this way? Here
is the explanation of the custom:
The custom of removing the hat had
it's origin during the age of chivalry,
when it was customary for knights never
to appear in public except i'll full armor.
1t became custom, however, for knight
npon entering an assembly of friends to
remove his helmet. signify ing, Il am safe
in the presence of my friends"
The age of chivalry passed away with
he fifteenth century, but among the
many acts of courtesy which can be
traced back to Its influence, none is more
direct in it's origin than that of lifting
the hat to acknowledge the presence of
d friend.

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON. July 1S.-Secretary Noble
to-day made an important decision. Three
sections of the land in the Visalia land
district, CAL, were suspended from entry
and sale in 1880 upon the recommendation
of the Surveyor General, for the reason that
"they are covered by trees of the Sequoia
glgantea variety, some of which are reported
to be forty feet in diameter and from 800 to
400 feet high, constituting 4 remarkable and
rare curiosity, which should be preserved"
After reservation had been ordered man
by the name of George Hening applied to
enter under the act of June 3, 1873, a
quarter-section of this land. His appli-
tanning the mammoth trees had been re-
served. After he made another application
to enter the land, and that also being re-
jected, he appealed to the Secretary of the
Interior. The latter, in a decision rendered
to-day, rejected the application. The Secre-
tary states that the trees are regarded as
remarkable and rare curiosity, which should
be preserved, and to this end the land con-
tanning them was withdrawn from sale
and entry, so that all questions in regard to
them could be properly considered. being
thus placed in reservation" continues the
decision, "by competent authority and for
sufficient reason, it is not in the power of
the party to acquire rights by treating such
reservation as of no effect" He adds that
there is no statute giving general author
ity to the President to reserve lands, but
the right of the President to put public
lands in reservation so that all questions in
reference to them might be properly con-
sidered has always been maintained by the
courts.

TRAIN-ROBBERS' WORK.
An Engineer and Fireman Terribly Beaten
and a Collision Caused.

VANwERT Ohio, July 1S.-A bold at
tempt at train-robbery was made late to-
night on the Cincinnati, Jackson and Mich
igan Railroad. Three men boarded the
engine Sof the north-bound passenger
train at Enterprise, Ohio, and attacked
Engineer Vandevender and the fireman
with hammers and coupling-pins. knocking
both senseless. They did not succeed in
stopping the train, however, probably
owing to the plucky fight made by the
tIainmen, and jumped off before reaching
Vanwert. The engineer and fireman were
both lying senseless in the cab
Of the locomotive, and the train, which
should have stopped at Vanwert Station,
rushed through the yard at the rate of
twenty-five miles an hour. Here it col
lided with Switch-engiRe, and Engineer
Vandevender was found dead in the wreck.
The fireman is still unconscious, and it can
not be learned whether the engineer was
killed by the train-robbers or met death in
the collision. None Of the passengers were
seriously injured

THE EFFECT ON BUSINESS.

Exchanges suspend Operations, Owing
to Destruction of the Wires.
BY the fire commercial exchanges were
completely cut off from connections with
the cotton, coffee and produce exchanges
which depend on the Western Union Com
pany to distribute their quotations over
tickers. This caused complete suspension
of the ticker service and brought business
almost to q standstil in the exchanges. In
addition all outside cities were cut off and
the public grain and cotton cables were
also lost through the cutting of OF the
wires. The suspension Of the telegraph
facilities had worse effect than the blIZ-
Zard of 1888.
The Maritime Exchange was practically
dead, no communication from Sandy Hook
and no reports of vessel arrivals. The
branches of the Western Union were closed
on account of the fire. The Postal Tee-
graph Company was tremendously rushed
with business and all messages taken were
subject to delay.
The fire also destroyed means of commu-
nicatiou with the outside world to . great
extent, and brokers to-day found them-
selves with no means of getting business
except from those customers who nap
pened to be in the city. Trading in the
market was entirely local.

ceiver Of the North River Sugar Refinery to

POWELL DEFEATED.
No Appropriation for Irrigation
Surveys.
One Good Result Brought About by the
Action Of the Senate.
Repeal Of the Law ReserYins lrrigable Lands
From Settlement Probable Action
Of the House.


WASHINGTON, July 1S.-After fighting
for three days over irrigation matters, the
Senate finally sat down on Major Powell,
Director of the Geological Survey. by elm
mating from the Civil Sundry Bill the ap-
preparation Of S777,OOO for irrigation sur
veys.
There is much regret expressed here
among Westerners that there should have
been so much d;ssension over irrigation
matters. The differences existing between
those high in authority has had the effect
of sacrificing a handsome appropriation
for irrigation purposes. Both sides OF the
question have been so well argued by we'll
posted men that it is hard to determine
just what plan would be the best, but the
impression prevails that either Powel's or
Stewards plan would have been far prefer
able to the existing state of affairs, that is,
no appropriation at all.
However, the discussion has brought
about one good result. viz: the repeal OF
the law of October, 1888, which reserves ir-
rigable lands from settlement. Many ill
ings have been made upon lands suscept-
BILE of irrigation, notwithstanding such
prohibitory law. and decision in this case
has been held up by the Commissioner OF
the Land Office for reasons best known to
himself. Application for decisions in cases
such as this las rel eatedly been made to
him, but he invariably answered that de-
cision which would affect thousand of such
cases would soon be handed down by At
torney- General Miller, to whom the matter
had been referred.
Pending this decision, ilers on such lands
have been put to great deal of annoyance
and inconvenience. BY the terms of the
amendment adopted by the Senate to-day,
this obnoxious law Of October q, 1888, is
repealed.
A California Associated Press reporter
saw Colonel Hinton tonight, and asked
him the prospects of the amendment being
adopted by the House, and lie was very
confident that the amendment would be
adopted. The correspondent also talked
with others, and the concensus of opinion
app ears 10 be this: Cannon, Chairman of
the House Appropriation Committee, is
warm friend of Powell, and has stood by
him through thick and thin, and lie will be
probably averse to the Sen ate amendment,
bu the majority Of the committee are just
now fearful that deficit may occur. and
therefore will be glad of chance to save

Tie bill as amended will probably be
acted on by the House in very few days.
Filers on land since October 2, 1889, Will be
secure in their claims If the House adopts
the amendment and it is not thought here
that any additional filing of papers will be
necessary. However, this point is in some
doubt.
Commissioner Croft or his assistant. Mr..
Stone, could not be found tonight. To-
morrow the California Associated Press
correspondent will interview the land Off
cials on this matter and telegraph the re-
suit for the information of the hundreds in
California, Nevada and Oregon who will be

ordered Wednesday after the reading Of the
Journal. Breckenridge of Kentucky raised
the question of consideration.
The House decided-ayes 115 noes 55-to
consider the resolution. One hundred and
twenty-four members were announced as
paired.
The resolution was modified so as TO pro-
vide that appropriation bills shall not inter-
fere with the consideration of the two bills
adopted.
The Original Package Bill was then
taken up.
E. b. Taylor said that never had such
blow been given State rights as by the
ascertainment that, under the Constitution
citizens of foreign States might take into
another State any property that was an
article OF commerce and there sell 1t with
out the liability OF the burden of taxation.
While he preferred the House substitute he
feared its adoption would endanger the
legislation, consequently he advocated the
Senate bill.
Culbertson of Texas said that if Iowa
could prohibit the importation OF intoxi,
eating liquors it could exclude tobacco, and
1t could 60 further than guaranteeing the
health and morals of its citizens; 1t could
protect its own products against those OF
other States. 1t would be better to amend

makeshifts.

ures. lie argued in favor of the substitute,
defining an original package of Intoxicating
liquors in bottles as case containing net
less than five gallons.
Reed OF Iowa, whose decision as Judge
was overruled by the decision of the Sl-
preme Court, spoke in favor of the pro-
posed legislation. If any relief was to be
given the people from the wrong and evil
to society growing out of the decision OF the
Supreme Court, it lay in the direction
pointed out by the pending bills. They del
egated no power to the State. They merely
10 regulate commerce among the States.
Henderson of Iowa said that no decision
had been rendered by the Supreme Court
since that court had decided that human
soul was q proper article Of merchandise
that so excited the feelings Of the country
as the original-package decision. No good
citizen would fail to submit to the decision
OF the court; but he Henderson, would not
SIT down with folded hands and wait until
the Supreme Court made him another de-
clslOn. While he was willing to recognize
the decision as the law, he was unwilling
TO sit still one moment and submit to the
operation of that decision if there was
lawful remedy, and he believed there was.
Let the gentlemen not forget that the Su-
preme Court, in throwing this thunderbolt
into the republic, did not fail to send with
II cure. 1t cried out TO Congress: while
we believe this to be our duty. we believe
1t your duty to remedy the evil" The
people of the country appealed to Congress
for action.

The President Of San Salvador Killed
by One Of Ezata'S Soldiers.

NEW YORK, July 1S.-A letter has been
received in this city which gives the follow
ing facts in regard to the change of Presi-
dent in San Salvador and the death of
President Menendez The letter is dated
Guatemala City, June 26th, and says:
The President of Salvador was to give
review of troops stationed at the capital,
and ball in the evening, in honor of the
fifth anniversary of his entering the capital
under the banner of the Liberal party.
Everything passed off quietly during the
day, but in the evening, when the Presi-
dent was dancing at the palace, the build
ing was surrounded by troops and an at
tack made upon it. The Preside Mt rushed
to his private room, seized his sword and
pistol, ran to the main entrance to the
palace and fired into the crowd of soldiers
in front. He then stepped back and i'm
mediately fell dead into the arms of at
tendantS. The report was given out that
he died from stroke of apoplexy brought
on by excitement, but this was denied, and
it was stated that he was shot through the
heart by one of the soldiers. General
Ezeta then seized the palace and issued a
proclamation declaring himself President,
but not mentioning his party. In the at
tack upon the palace, eleven men were
killed, among whom was General Marcial,
son-in-law of President MenendeZ."
The latest news from there is that every
thing is quiet. General Ezeta, the new
President, was raised by Menendez from
the post OF a petty officer to the Governor
ship of Santa Ana. Several days before
the rising EZeta came to the capital with 1900
soldiers. pretending that he desired to join
in the festivities. In making arrangements
for the overthrow of the Government lie
gave orders that Menendez should not be
harmed, but it turned out his orders were
not obeyed.
The situation of the Central American
States at present is peculiar. A convention
for the union of the States has been signed
by Honduras San Salvador and Guatemala,
while a favorable report has been received
from the Senate of Costa Rica in regard to
signing it. The convention will also be
presented to Nicaragua next year, it being
too late this year, as the Senate had already
met. Ezeta has sent word that he will agree
to every policy of the four other republics,
except that upon the union of States. This,
as it stands, is almost an open declaration
of war. 1t remains to be seen whether
Guatemala and Honduras will endeavor to
make San Salvador live up to the agree
