Is it a Human Tooth, or What Can
1t Be?

Is it a Human Tooth, or What Can
1t BE?
About a week ago mention was
made in the LIGHT of the fact that
Mr.. Frank Fisher, foreman of the
rock work on the new city hall, was
in possession of a tooth having all the
appearance of having once belonged
to a human being. This relic
was this morning shown by
Mr.. Fisher to a LIGHT reporter,
and it's appearance tended strongly to
confirm the supposition that it was a
human tooth. It's position, however,
In O ledge of solid marine, lime stone
of cretaceous age renders its human
origin impossible under the present
accepted opinions of mans geologic
age. At all events, it suggests an
important addition to the history of
mammalian life, as it clearly does not
have any attributes of the fishes
that age, and if mans ori.
| gin is not, by it's discovery, re-
moved back another age, 1t will point
to the existence of larger mammals
than has hitherto been supposed to
| exist at that age. 1t was found by a
workman in the BALCONIES Quarry,
near Van Raub station, this county
and is apparently an incisor work OF
an adult human. 1t is in a good state
of preservation except the lower
part, the roots being lost, but from
Mr.. Fishers description of that parl
tends to confirm the supposition OF
their mammalian origin. The sub.
ject will be laid before an expert In
comparative anatomy, and the re.
rults of future Investigations will be
given to the public.

Silyer-The Other Side.


The Providence Journal is not so hopeful
% some other papers that by silver legisla-
ton the present Congress may benefit the
country. On the contrary, 1t sees nothing
but evil In the proposed legislation. The
Journal is so fair and candid O paper that
we will let our readers see for themselves
what it has to say ON this interesting sub
ject. We quote:
"In anticipation of the possible enact
ment of some law in the interest OF the
miners the silver market has been lifted IN
the past few weeks TO remarkable extent.
in London, where the price is made, bar
silver has already reached 46 9-i6d., though
the highest price touched III 1889 was
s4&d. The tendency is still upward and
the impression prevails, both in this coun-
Try and in England, that under the inilu-
ence of projected legislation the increase
will continue and extend until silver once
more reaches the highest point touched
within the present century.
The marked rise Of prices that has
already taken place naturally directs
thought TO the ultimate results Of a
measure that, even before its passage is
sure, gives so perceptible a stimulus 10 the
market. And those results are by no means
uncertain or obscure. As the price Of the
white metal goes up those foreign Govern
mepts, like that OF Germany, which have
on hand large stocks of unusable silver
that they have not cared TO sell at past
prices. will presently be able TO unload
upon our Treasury. Already, indeed, the
cable tells Us that they are looking for
ward 70 that happy day. And mean while,
OF course, the same rise Of price will have
stimulated the production of SILVER not
alone In the United States but throughout
the world. Mines which have been hith.
erto unproductiye or only partially work.
Cd will increase their output and new
sources Of supply will be opened up.
Thus IN one way and another the sup.
ply will be enormously aud progressively
augmented and the production viii bt
damned Up in the United States. the
greater portion Of il gravitating hither IN
der the influence of compulsory Treasur,
purchases II is only q question Of time
OF course. when the reservoir will be full 4
overfowing, aud then the only question
will be how long the artificial barriers o
the law can hold up against the pressure.

CONTESTED ELECTION CASES.
How They Have Been Settled So Far
Those Yet to be Acted On.

The House committee on elections today de-
cided the contested election cases of Posey agt.
Parrett Qndiana) and Bowen agt Buchanan
(Virginia) in favor of the two democratic con-
testees. The Indiana case is particularly in
teresting in that it involved the right Of Jesuit
theological students to vote in the
district where they are stationed. The case of
the contestant was based upon the claim that
thirty votes cast by scholastics at Jesui. COL
lege should be thrown out. The committee
did not sustain this claim.
In the en-Buchanan case il was attempted
to have districts thrown out upon the ground
that the elections were disorderiy, but the dis
order claimed did not affect enough votes to
change the result
FOUR REPUBLICANS AND THREE DEMOCRATS
SEATED.
The committee has now reported on seven
cases. In four the reports have been in favor
Of the republican contestants and in three in
favor of the democratic cOntestees.
1t is likely that four or live other democratic
contestees will be permitted to retain their
seats. Out OF the seventeen contests seven or
eight will probably be decided in favor of the
democrats.
CASES YET TO BE HEARD.
Before the close of the week it is expected
that reports will be made in favor of seating
Waddill republican, in the place of Wise dem
ocra) from Virginia. and in favor of unseatng
Turpin of Alabama democrat and seating Nc
Duffee Qrepnblican) in his place.
The Chaimers-Morgan contest. the kerna-
ghan-Hooker and the Hill-Calchings contests
all of Mississippi. and the McGinnis-A Anderson
contest of West Virginia. it is understood will
be decided in favor Of the contestees-the
democrats
