Gus Arnold and Mrs. GafHney to Go to
Warm Springs.
Arnold thinks he is worth $400, 900, 600, a
good portion of which was given him by
the Northern Pacific Railroad company.
Some persons have been telling him that
he was wealthy and that his name was
Henry Semple Ames. Arnold made life a
burden to the county recorder and his
clerks for q few days. He sent notes to the
recorder notifying him not to place on
record any transfers of property in which
he was interested without notice from him.
The notes were signed "Henry Semple
Ames.' Arnold also called at the First
National bank to see about a large deposit
he had there.
Sheriff Jeieris and a deputy won't to St.
Johns hospital yesterday afternoon to
bring Mrs. Gafiney INTO court to be tried
fot insanity. She would not 60. For sew
eral minutes the aged woman made a great
outcry and worried the officers. Judge
Buck took his clerk and the jury to the
hospital and investigated her case. Last
night the woman escaped from the Sisters,
but it is thought she will be found to-day.
The jury in both cases wore DR.. kockman,
Sam Alexander and Il. L.. Flaherty.

 Boston notions are sometimes ridiculed but the fact is that some of the best notions which have blessed this country have started in Boston. One of the latest Boston notions is entitled the New Eng land Kitchen. The kitchen was not started to make money, but to show that good food could be supplied to the families of laboring men at price that did not exceed what it would cost if made in their own homes, and of quality superior to what most of their wives could pre- pare. There is great need in all the cities of food supply depots, where people can obtain soups and bread and other ar ticles of food, of the best quality, at low prices. The restaurant does much for sin gle persons, but it is too expensive for the workingman's family, or for those who live in their own rooms and try to take care of themselves. Can food kitchens for the people be made to pay? The New England Kitchen has answered this ques- tion in the affirmative, and its progress has been carefully watched by persons in different parts of the country who believe that, next to the wastefulness of living, one of the greatest difficulties in the Amer ican family is that it's members are not properly supplied with wholesome and nu- tritious food.
 People in New Haven who want to help their fellow citizens might well investigate this Boston notion. It looks to us like @ very valuable one, and it has already been very successful in Boston.

THE SUN AND THE CROPS,

U AND OtOFSs
 The scientific gentlemen are very busy and they find out great deal. Some Rus- sian investigators have been looking into the intensity of sun and sky radiations. The importance of this investigation is in dicated by the fact that when plants con- taining chlorophyll granules are kept for 8 time in darkness the production of starch ceases and even the starch which has &C., cumulated in the granules disappears. AS the amount of starch in wheat and corn, per cent, and in rice seventy-si1 per cent. the quality of our great food crops is prac- tically decided by the intensity of the sun- bath to which the plants are exposed. The Russian observers find that the diurnal power of the solar and sky radiations does not progress in a symmetrical curve. On a summer day the principal maxima occur about ten o'clock in the morning and at three o'clock in the afternoon, but in autumn the two periods of greatest intensity come nearly together about noontide. These discoveries may be used to good account by florists and horticulturalists in stimulating the growth of plants. As respects the months of the year the power of the conjoint sur and sky radiations is greater in July thar in June or in August. According to tht theory the intensity should be greatest il June, when the sun reaches his highest northern limit But observation show that the atmosphere is more transparan to the passage of heat rays in July ant August than in June.
 It is very interesting to know all abou
 the power of the sun, but it is rather de
 pressing to remember that nothing can b
 done to make it shine when its shine l poot naaaa6

Oufdass old Age.

Paris Letter to the St Louis Dispatch. ]
 Ouida is growing old now, and her works of late lack much of the eloquence and poetic fervor that used to make them so irresistibly attractive. She cannot at present be far from sixty. She never was a beauty, though in her prime she pos sessed her striking points; her "amber hair," of precisely the shade which she used to describe in her earliest novels, and a pair of exquisite little feet, of whose small size and perfect symmetry she was justly vain. She used to walk down the long dining-room of the Langham Hotel with her golden locks hanging down her back, and with her long skirts held up in one hand SO as to show of her pretty feet in the daintiest of Parisian slippers. She immortalized MT. Sanderson, of New York, who was at the time manager of the hotel aforesaid, by making him the hero of her novel of s'Tricotrin." The brilliant novelist was not often given to drawing the portrait of an American in such flat tering colors. She dislikes our country people with an intensity of hatred that is altogether surprising, and never misses 6 chance of caricaturing them and holding them up to ridicule.

 "The increase of liquor selling and con- sequent increase of drunkenness upon our streets and in our vicinity has become a matter of public concern and common criticism," says Deputy Sheriff Hersom to the people of Oakland, Maine. MT. Hersom proceeds to say that citizens ire quently ask him, "Why don't you enforce the lawa Why don't you stop thisa How long are you going to let it go on unhin- dered" He explains that as an officer he can only prosecute violations of the law when they come to his knowledge, and that it is hard for him alone to get the evidence necessary to secure conviction. "A sheriff." he says, ''standing alone, cannot fight single-handed the entire liquor interest banded together as it is against him and his purpose of executing the law. This is just where the citizens can help nightly in enforcing the law. And allow me to say plainly this is just where the citizens of Oakland have failed to help me-" And Maine, it is to be re- membered, is prohibition State.

 Kentucky is the only one of the southern States that has made no provision for dis abled confederate veterans. Virginia was the first to start off in this movement, and she maintains home for her veterans at an annual expense of $10, 900 year, be- side paying a large sum for pensions.

Two short-term endow- ment orders-the 'fbenefcial order of earn est workers" and the benevolent endow- ment association collapsed at Philadelphia on Saturday after an existence of less than half year. Both promised $100 in six months for about $40 paid in, and mem bers were at first secured in large nun bers. But certificates matured rapidly and extra assessments had to be levied al 8 rate so alarming that members could not pay and an assignment was forced. About one-fourth of the receipts of the frs named order were pocketed by the officers l-$75, ,000 in all-which is their gain from the work of six months.
