The Commercial Congress Against Pro-
lection.

lection.
After several days of full and free dis
cussion. in which the representatives OF
every economic school, were heard. the
commercial congress at Kansas City on
Friday evening adopted resolutions de-
claring, among other things, against the
protective principle and in favor of tariff
for revenue only. Thereupon handful
of delegates who, it seems, went to the
convention in the capacity of political
partisans, withdrew. After vainly en-
deavoring to commit the congress TO an
Endorsement OF protection they charged
that it had been packed in the interest
of the democratic party" and retired from
the hall.
The action of this handful of delegates
only emphasizes the significance of the at
titude OF the congress on the tariff ques-
ton. The congress was distinctively a
representative BODY. Every state west OF
the Allegheny mountains and the southern
seaboard states was represented in its de-
liberations. Agriculture, trade, commerce,
the manufacturing and mining interests
and the professional classes ali partici-
pated in the persons of gentlemen of abili-
ty and experience in the proceedings
And after full and fair interchange OF
views the congress, by decided majority,
declared against the existing policy OF tax
alton and in favor OF levying duties on I'M
ports for public purposes only.
There can be no doubt that, in taking
this action, the congress voiced the over
whelming sentiment of the people of the
West and South. They have become con-
vinced, by bitter experience. that the
tariff policy now in force is inimical to the
best interests of the great masses, and that
its abandonment, at the earliest practi-
cable moment, is dictated by every con-
sideration of practical expediency and en-
of the great political parties of the
country is, by tradition and principle,
committed to the policy of taxation for
revenue only, does not lessen in the least
the significance of the action taken by the
congress. 1t only shows that. upon one
question at least, one of the great parties
is in accord with the interests and
wishes of the people of two great
sections of the country. The withdrawal
OF few professional republican politi-
clans because of their failure, after
persistent efforts, to manipulate the
congress in the interests of their
party will only serve to invite public at
tention once more to the fact that that
party is out of touch with the people, and
responsive only to the wishes OF the small

Els Last Visit to Salem jail and His
Mysterious Disappearance.
The tragic end of Gentleman Pat" on
the railroad on Tuesday recalls another
queer old fellow, Jimmy Scott" who had
record of very nearly twenty-five years
spent in Jail, and who would deliberately
commit o1fcnses that he might be arrested
and locked up. He actually did this SO often
that the Salem officers fought shy of him
and would ignore Jimmy's attempts TO get
back TO jail, unless they were too fragrant.
In such cases Jimmy would resort to Lynn
or Peabody and there obtain the coveted
commitment He was a good man to work
ON the walk or outside in the grounds and
could be depended upon never to run away.
Every winter would find him back in his
CELL thoroughly contented and ready TO re-
main there from HaloWe EN- to St. Johns
day, if possible. Then. when the roses were
in bloom, Jimmy was ready to rUam off
afield, doing odd jobs at hayinG and sleep
ing in the fragrant mows or under the stacks
on the broad marshes, lulled 10 siumber by
the salt sea breeZes from the ocean.
But the first frost always brought Jimmy
back to jail again. He seemed to have
lingering affection for every bar and stone
in the grim structure. Finally the old man
disappeared going out of existence, seem
ingly, like old Tony WeIler's post-boys.
Tuesday night the sudden taking off OF the
gentleman brought up Jimmy SCOTS"

HIS NOSE BROKEN.
Walter S. HinkIe's Beauty Tenn.
pOrarlly Damaged.

When Walter S. Hinkle, one of the As
sistant District Attorneys Of the city and
county, next appears in his Office he is liable
to be pestered with inquiries as to how he
acquired nasal twang in his voice and a
diSfgured nose. In order that he may be
saved the necessity of frequent and perhaps
embarrassing explanations an account OF how
his misfortune occurred is herewith given
without any of the coloring of facts that
usually accompanies the personal narrative
OF such events.
On last Saturday nightthe was gathered
in the Reception saloon quite a number of
prominent men about town. The hour was
after II o'clock, and the condition OF
some of the party may DE expressed by the
phrase they were feeling well. Among
the party were Walter 5. Hinkle, and a
well-known contractor named Humbert
The latter was at one time mining expert,
and is known by his connection as coDtrae-
tor with the great Folsom dam. Alter the
whole party had partaken OF drinks, several
of them adjourned to a side of the saloon
leaving Hinkle and Humbert, as 1t was
thought, arguing at the bar. Their argu-
ments did not last long, for the two men
soon came to blows.
From the statements of parties who
witnessed the alteration it appears that
the two men entered into a ersonal discus
siOns on Humbert, which the latter at once
resented with a blow. This concrete answer
TO a rstort discourteous brought from Hinkle
a similar reply. They then clinched, each
striking at the other, their words being
louder than their blows were strong.
The noise of the scrimmage brought the
rest of the party to the spot, and friends
held the men apart II was seen that had
not this interference taken place, Hinkle
would soon have been pretty badly dam
aged.
While friend was holding Hinkle, the
latter struck over his friends shoulder. and
Humbert followed suit, landing two rapid
and heavy blows on Hinkle's nose, laying
that useful and ornamental member over
on the left side of MS face. 1t WAS then
seen that the row had assumed a serious
aspect. and the friends mentioned redoubled
their exertions 10 stop hostilities, and finally
succeeded in removing Hinkle outside. when
he was taken 10 his home.
As soon as possible physician was sum-
mOned, and by his eXert0ns the retrousse
tilt of Hinkle's nasal appendage was owe r.
come and that organ made to resume its
normal appearance, sticking plaster cutting
the principle figure in the operation.
1t VIII be some little time before the as
sstant prosecutor of the city's criminals
will have a voice with a sufficient melliflu-
Gus tone 10 address jurors who sit on pencil
ogical cases with that sonOTous rounding of
periods for which be is known. 1t is said
that difference in politics was the cause
which led to the encounter.

THE THEATERS.
Opening of the German Dramatic
Season Mt the Baldwin.
a Lively and Well-Acted Comedy Thoroughly
Appreciated by Crowded
House.

"The Two Leonores," brilliant four-act
comedy, or mstspiel, by Paul Lindau,
opened the dramatic season under the man
agement of Messrs. Becker, Kahn & Hirsch
last evening in a most complete and salts
factory manner The auditorium was
crowded in every part by well-dressed peo-
pie, who, from the enthusiastic way in
which they received the play and the play
ers-the new faces as well as the old-eyi-
IDENTIFY came prepared to enjoy themselves.
Rounds of applause greeted actor and
actress on their respective entrees. No
fault could be found with the stage setting
and service in the different acts; they were
nicely complete in every particular. 1t is
generally thought by the American public
that German plays, in the vernacular, are
heavy and slow in action as well as talky in
text that il requires adaptors like Augustln

known, very literally from German stage

American audience. This impression would
have been removed from the mind of any
donbter had he sat before the company
last evening. He could not but have en-
joyed, particularly so. had he understood
the language, the smooth. fluent and
yivaclous way.in which the dramatls persona
discharged the duties OF their various assign
ments. Mr.. Max Lawrence, as Otto Kaiser,
established himself at once as fay0rlte,
and Francisco GroSse-Becker, lady of re-
markedly fine stage appearance, as Leonure,
his elegant vile and graceful hostess, made
excellent play Richard Wrth. as Herman
Wieberg, Vice-Consul; Moritz Eiseman, as
Roller, the ladies' tailor, and Benno Hirsch,
as DR.. Brosius. showed good comic
quality, and contributed largely 10
tine amusement Of the audience. The
card scene in the first act. and
one of the best hits in the COMEDY. evoked
constant laughter. The part of Christian
Wieberg a knight and uncle Of Herman,
enacted by Christian Friese Jr., was neat
presentation. This gentleman possesses a
good singing voice, which Will be heard to
advantage in 'Spillicka's Adventure. or
Paris and Berlin" a musical piece TO be
given next Sunday evening. The part Of
Larchen, daughter of Leonore and Otto
Kaiser. was committed to Miss Garcia Ham
mer, who manifested a sort OF lively in
genue quality, and was much applauded.
The whole performance. in fact touched
the audience very closely, and the curtain
was raised thrice at the close of the first act.
Mr.. August Hinrchs, the stated orchestral
leader of this theater, will also be the
capeli-meister for The German Company dur
ing the present season.

SEXUAL VARIATIONS.

Lecture on TheosophicaI View of
Woman by Mrs. Thirds.
At Red Mems Hall last evening before
good audience and under the auspices of the
Golden Gate Lodge of the Theosophical
Society, Mrs. Mereie NJ. Thirds gave an ad-
dress on "a TheosOpical View of Woman"
She compared the existence of the opposites
in sex, man and woman, To the two sides Of
a coiR, 10 day and night, which alternate

phases of the same thing under different
manifestations.

ing moment a male and the next in etern-
ity female, these are but conditions Of its
evolution. The inner sex shows Itself in one
NANTES station as thought, in another as
feeling, in one love and III another emotion.
Man is the brain and woman the soul Of
mankind. The one thinks and the other
creates and is drawn higher to the divinity
that shapes our end. Which is more truly
time, day Ut night? Which Is more truly
man, man or woman? To both questions,
she said, We must answer that both are The
same IN each case.
Let us not forget that our true self is that
inner spark that knows no sex. Mans true
nature is not always the sum of his
thoughts and deeds. There may be an aroma
from his veriesI self that is never known
TO US. Nature never shows Itself to us
complete, but she is ever shifting the scenes
in her evolutions. Need | point out the au-
ology of mind and love, of man and

Aerial Nnviratinn


1t was learned Yesterday that the chances
are very favorable for California stepping
to the front in very short time with fiy-

in its working. Unlike every other ma

more like the Whitehead fish-torpedo than
anything else. The motive power Is cleo

of the machine last night in a house on
Union street. The model is 5 feet long and
is the second one made, the first HAVING

FOOD BEFORE SLEEP.
Why Some People Are Benefited by
Night Lunch

Why Some People Are Benefited by a
Night Lunch.
Some persons, though not actually sick,
keep below par in strength and general
tone, and | am of the opinion that fasting
during the long interval between supper
and breakfast, and especially the complete
emptiness of the stomach during sleep, adds
greatly to the amount of emaciation, sleep
lessness and general weakness we SO often
meet.
Physiology teaches that in the body there
is perpetual disintegration Of tissue, Sleep
ing or waking; it is, therefore, logical to
believe that the supply of nourishment
should be somewhat continuous.
As bodily exercise is suspended during
sleep, with wear and tear CORRESPONDENCE
diminished, while digestion, assimilation
and nutritive activity continue as usual.
the food furnished during this period adds
more than is destroyed, and increased
weight and improved general vigor are the
result.
All beings except man are governed by
natural extinct, and every being with
stomach, except man, eats before sleep, and
even the human infant, guided by the same
instinct, drinks frequently day and night,
and if its stomach is empty for any pro-
longed period II cries long and loud
Digestion requires no interval of rest and
if the amount of food during the twenty
four hours is, in quantity and quality, not
beyond the physiological limit, it makes no
hurtful difference to the stomach how few
or how short are the intervals between eat
ing; but it does make vast difference In
the weak and emaciated one's welfare TO
have mOdcum of food in the stomach
during the time Of sleep, that, instead of
being consumed by bodily action, it may
during the interval improve the lowered
system.
am fully satisfied that were the weakly,
the emaciated and the sleepiess to nightly
take light lunch or meal of simple, nutri-
tiOus food before going to bed for a pro-
longed period, nine in ten of them would be
thereby lifted into better standard of
health. On the contrary, persons that are
too stout or piethoric should follow an OPP

A PREHISTORIC TUSK.

Interesting Relic Found In a Jackson
County (oreGonJ Mine.
At the Starting hydraulic mine in Jackson
County, a tusk of a mastodon was washed
out a few days since from under a depth of
fifty feet of gravel The tusk was four inches
in diameter and was porous and crumb
ling. Other bones of the same prehistoric
animal have been found in this mine
at different depths. Just how fifty
feet of gold-bearing gravel came to be
deposited atop Of this tusk is question for
the geologist to decide. 1t may be that
the gravel was washed there by some pre-
historic hydraulic miner, who took out all
the big nuggets of gold and left only the
fine scales for this day and generation. The
mammoth did not become extinct SO long
ago as some other animals, for carcasses Of
a number of the huge beasts have been
found in frozen condition in Siberia, in a
very perfect state of preservation, and their
bones have been found in Missouri In the
same stratum with human bones, and one
great hunter and still greater liar has given
out that he has seen living specimens of the
animal in the wilds of the Olympic range
