BALMACEDA MUST FALL.
The CHILEAN Presidents Doom Is
Sealed

Sealed.
PARIS. May 10.-The report made to
the senate by the committee on the
Newfoundland arbitration, after referr-
ing TO treaties upon which France bases
her claims, concludes by urging the SEN
ate to adopt the bill. The committee
look forward with confidence to the
decision Of the arbitrator. The Chill
ian congressional leaders here deny
that the failure of the peace ne
gotiation was due to the de-
m ands of the congressional party.
Their adviceS state that President Bal
maceda, after offering to treat, changed
his mind upon hearing of the sinking
of the war ship Blanco Encalada, and
made the publicity given to the pro-
posalS of the congressional party an eX-
cuSe for rupturing the negotiations
The leaders of the anti-government
party say that their losses on the sea
will not affect their final victory. The
congressional party, according to the
same authority, possess an organized
army which is about to march upon
Santiago. Even if the troops be con-
fined to inaction, Balmaceda must sur
render within three months because of
the collapse of his resources. The fifteen
million dollars reserve which he held
prior to the instruction is exhausted,
and he has no sources of revenue,
Fifty steamers at Valparaiso laden with
coal, which were detained by order of
Balmaceda, have not been released
under pressure from foreign powers,
ana are about to trade at ports held by
the congressional party. These vessels
will load with nitrates. the duty cn
which will bring the insurgents a large
sum. Although Godoy has failed to
raise for Balmaceda loan in Europe,
the agent of the congressional party
has been promised assistance here.

NOT NELL TAKEN.

A lawyer of some local note, who has
the conceit thathe is master of both
human and divine legal principles,
thinks the newspapers have too much
to say about religious dogmas and church
matters. There may be questions that
the papers should not attempt to decide
between creeds and the spiritual furni-
tnre of sectS, but it is the business of the
daily photographer of mundane affairs
to picture the religious, as well as po-
liticaI, social, material and other phases.
The press will not consciously crowd
the pulpit out of its full orb, but it fur
nishes the object lesson for the spiritual
translator, and may do little translat-
ing of its own where the language is
familiar and when the spirit is moved.
The lawyer who objects is out of place.

Are Dog. Afraid of Ghosts,

perhaps you are not aware. said
a young lawyer to the scribe yester-
day" that dogs and horses are as
much afraid of ghosts and other un-
canny or mysterious things as are the
most timid OF the human race. /
proved it one time on two dogs, at any
rate. Not long after the war the ne
groes were so bad about our place in
kentucky that it was with difficulty
that we could keep our belongings on
our place. Every other method hav-
ing failed / finally hit upon the plan OF
frightening them by appearing before
them dressed as ghost is said TO hab-
ilitate itself.
'Of course. the negroes were sue
cessfully frightened away from us, but
upon one occasion l also frightened
our two watch dogs as badly as any
negro ever was frightened by ghostly
apparition. The dogs were fierce fell
lows, and would allow no stranger or
strange thing on the place, but one
moonlight night they came upon me
in spectral attire. The dog that first
caught glimpse OF me just bumped
up his back until all four OF his feet
covered not moro than six square
inches of kentucky soil His eyes
stood out and his hair stood up. and he
began moving backward. never for an
instant taking his eyes of my figure.
His companion came up, went through
the same movement, and both began
backing cautiously from me. And as
long as l could see them they put dis
lance between us in that way. A few
moments later / heard them barking
at home half mile distant They
had taken refuge under the house and
it was four days before we could coax
them out again"

A yearly rental is now paid to three
or four of the iron works in Scotland
for the privilege OF collecting the
smoke and gases from the blast fur
naces. Passage through several miles
OF wrought iron tubing, gradually di-
minishing in size from six feet to eigh-
teen inches, ,cools the gases and con-
denses considerable Quantity OF oil.
The smallest OF these smoke-saving
plants at Glasgow pumps and collects
about 60 900. 900 feet Of furnace gas
per day. which yields an average of
20 600 gallons OF furnace oil per week.
The residual gases are used as fuel for
distilling and other purposes and a
considerable supply Of sulphate of am
monia is also obtained. The present
demand for the oil is small. the chief
being for the Lucigen light and for
picking railway sleepers.

Little Use for Them.

Dr. Bombaugh says, in his Clean
ings for the Curious:" Dictionary
English is something very different
not only from common colloquial Eng
lish. but even from that Of ordinary
written composition. Instead of about
forty thousand words, there is probably
no single author in the language from
whose works however voluminous, so
many as 10. 600 words could be collect
ed. OF the 40, 900 words there are
certainly many more than one-half
that are only employed, II they IRE
employed at all, on the rarest occasions.
We should be surprised to find, if we
counted them, with how small a num-
Der OF words we manage TO express all
that we have to say, either with our
lips or the pen. Our common literary
English probably hardly amounts to
ten thousand words; our common spoken
English hardly to five thousand"

SAVING BABY'S LIFE.
A Carrier Pigeon utilized to Send for the
Medicine.


Medicine.
An incident occurred recently in the
family of G. +. Marsh. the dealer in
Japanese curiosities at No. 625 Market
street and member of the Pacific
coast pigeon society, says the San
Francisco Examiner. which proved to
him in a most impressive manner the
valuable services which may some
times be rendered by the carrier pig
con, and probably explains some of
his enthusiasm in that direction.
His little baby boy was taken sud
denly sick with tho most alarming
symptoms OF diphtheria. The mother.
watching by the bedside of the little
one, dispatched a message tied on a
carrier pigeon to her husband at his
store on Market street. In the mes
sage she wrote the nature of the child s
alarming illness and made an urgent
appeal for medicine to save its life.
The bird was started from the home
of the family near the Cliff House. five
miles from Mr.. Marsh's Market street
store.
The bird flew swiftly to the store.
where Mr.. Marsh received it. He
read the message, called a doctor, ex-
planned the child's symptoms as his
wife had detailed them in her message
and received the proper medicine.
then tying the little vial containing
the precious medicine to the tail OF
the pigeon, he let it go.
The pigeon sped away through the
air. straight for the Cliff. 1t made
the distance-fve miles-in ten min
utes a distance which would have re-
quired the doctor three-quarters OF an
hour TO cover.
In twenty minutes from the time the
mothers message was sent to her hus-
band the baby was taking the medi-
cine. and thus Its life was saved.
Naturally enough Mr.. Marsh is par
tial to pigeons, for he considers that
he owes his baby's life TO one.

The tendency to small families is
observable in this country, but here it
seems TO prevail rather among the
rich aud the well-to-do the educated
and the refined. than among the poor
and the uncultivated. English travel
ers have long made the smallness OF
American families q charge against
our civilization. and they have also as
sailed the morality of France for a
like reason; but this last census indi-
Gates that they have the same evil TO
deal with at home. Marriage is de-
creasing in England. and the birth
rate is falling of even more. Once
begun, too. this decline is likely to
continue. and it may grow TO be very
serious. as it is in France. Already it
has overthrown the estimates and cal
culations Of the statisticians OF popu-
iation. at time TOO when the pros
perity of the kingdom has been fully
up to the average, unless it be as to
the classes dependent on agricultural
production.
