A Pennsylvania judge has decided that piano playing is manual labor. Some times it reaches the gravity of misde- meanor.
 It is catching. Even the unspeakable Turk has it. The Constantinople lockers have formed 0 union, established picket ing system, and threaten violence to other Turks who will not join the union.
 Dr. Caroline Hastings of the Boston school committee is a sensible woman. She has ordered that hereafter all teachers in the public schools of Boston shall give their full baptismal names and drop all ab- breviations and diminutives. This will disturb the Hatties, the Mamies, the Sal lies, etc., but it is 8 step in the right dires- ton.
 The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal expresses the opinion that less than per cent. of the wall papers sold in Boston to- day is dangerously arsenical, against 40 or 50 per cent. six or seven years ago. The number which contain as much as an acci- dental trace is to-day less than the number of highly arsenical ones then. The result has been brought about solely in conse- quence of the continued efforts of boards of health, chemists and physicians.
 Woman is different. An interesting story was recently published about Mil waukee man who saw woman fall down in the street and helped her up. She was so grateful that she sent him deed for a house worth 5000. A Peoria man, who had read the story, started to help a woman who had slipped on banana peel, but the result was not the same. The woman yelled to her husband, who was standing near, and he rushed up and broke the would-be helpers nose.
 If you have anything to make will about give it away. In June, 1885, John Nelson and Jane Nelson, his wife, of Syracuse, made two wills, each giving | the survivor all the testator's prop erty. In June, 1886, John Nelson died. It was then discovered that, by some acci- dent, John had signed Jane's will and Jane

PURE DEMOCRACY,


 The Democrats at Hartford have once more shown their mulishness and their disregard of the interests of tho State. In caucus yesterday they decided to oppose what is known as the Judson bill This bill was an honest and entirely fair at tempt to do something toward clearing up matters, and the attitude of the Democrats toward it is not very encouraging MT. Judson is reported as saying during the discussion of the bill: "This is the last proposition that will come from the Re publican side of this general assembly. If it is not accepted and then a deadlock re- suits then we will go to our homes and the responsibility for the deadlock will rest with the Democrats" They cannot avoid that responsibility. The Hartford Cour- ant said yesterday morning of the bill: In effect it permits taking contested cases into court and the decis- ion of the court is laid before the general assembly, which is then in posses sion of the law and the facts, and is moral ly bound to follow the decision. Speaking TOT the republicans we can safely say that they neither would or could attempt to nullify any such decision. If it seated Judge Morris, in he would go. All they want is to know what is the legal course in this crisis. We still can hope, until they themselves forbid it, that the Demo- crats of the senate will avail themselves of this opportunity to reach an honorable conclusion of the pending difficulty. This is unquestionably constitutional way out; it is supplying a neglect of past legisla- lures. It gets the facts and establishes the right. Does either party want any thing else than that!
 If the Democrats had not all through the controversy displayed such rong-headed- ness their latest move would be astonish- ing. If any fairer or more honest plan than that of the Judson bill could be made we should like to see it.

CHILL AND FRANCE.
The Esmeralda Fires on French Cor

The Esmeralda Fires ON n French Cor
vette Near CoquimbO Bay.
VALPARAISO, Chill, July 24.-It would
seem as if the congressional party had
got themselves into pretty muddle
with the French government if the re-
port just received here can be relied
upon.
1t is to the effect that the warship
Esmeralda, so well known in connection
with the Itata pursuit, and which, with
the Amazone, Aconcagua and Cochrane,
has been threatening to lombard Co
quimbo, fired twice on the French
corvette Volta, near Coquinbo bay.
The French admiral will demand an
apology 1t is probable that the insur-
gents will hasten to make it, as they can
not afford to antagonize so powerful u
nation.
We have also received intelligence
here of the narrow escape from capture
of the torpedo cruiser Lynch. After the
detection of the plot to destroy her and
the Condell in this port by dynamite,
she proceeded at once toward Coquimbo,
as word had been received by Balmaceda
that his foes were planning a combined
sea and land attack upon that port.
The Lynch was relied upon to annoy
the congressional feet as much AS posi-
BILE and draw them off the coast. She
has evidently carried out her orders to
the letter.

Nearly 5000 Miles Long.


ST. PETERSBURG, July 24.-The con-
struction of the worlds longest railroad
is progressing rapidly along the river
valleys and across the steppes of Siberia
The western extremity of the road is
the mining town of Mask on the east
ern side of Ural range, and its eastern
terminous is at Vladivostok, on the sea
Of Japan. making total length of 1885
miles. Its cost, including surveys, grad
ing, building, stations, rolling stock and,
indeed, everything needed for its con-
struction and equipment, is estimated at
$183, 1925, ,000-an enormous amount but
proftably invested, and far less than the
cost of a useless European war.
No Great Engineering Feat.
The country through which the road
will run presents no great engineering
difficulties, and across the vast plains it
will hardly require the grading of q
road-bed. The only places where any
engineering more than on any ordinary
railroad will be at the rivers, some of
which will require bridges of great
length and long spans, 1t is also for the
most part fairly populous, much of it
being very fertile and the rest rich i'll
minerals; so that along its entire route
the road will open up and develop
country of magnificent resources and of
almost inexhaustible agricultural and
mining wealth.
Results of Building the Road.
The various results which will eventu-
ally follow the completion of this great
work cannot, of course, be fully esti-
mated in advance, but some of them
may be partially foreseen. One of these
is that by means Of this road Rz9ssia
leaps at single bound into the indubita
BILE position of the most formidable of
Asiatic powers Through this road
England is made insecure in India, and,
whenever the contest for supremacy in
eastern Asia is precipitated, the whole
northern frontier of China will be open
at every point to the massing of Russian
troops.
But altogether apart from its availa-
bility and Importance in war, its COM
mercial, industrial, and political possi-
bilities are simply incalculable. 1t will
bring the hidden section of Asia into
full connection with the rest of the
world. The Russian government is now
solicitous about keeping foreigners out
of the provinces beyond the Ural noun
tains and the Caspian.
With the completion Of this road
new era will begin, travel and commerce
will follow an unbroken route from the
west CT Europe to Japan, the ideas of
civilization elsewhere prevalent will be
introduced and take root, and gradually
those changes will occur which will
make Asiatic Russia sharer in the
common progress of humanity.

JESUS cHRlsT's DEATH WARRANT.
West Virginia Historical and Antiquarian
Society claims to Possess II

CLARKsBURG, July 24.-The West
Virginian Historical and Antiquar-
ian society claim to have the death
warrant of Jesus Christ. 1t is engraved
on brass plate and was found by the
French commissioners of art during
their exploration of the ancient city of
Aquilla, in the kingdom Of Naples.
1t is written in Hebrew, but has been
translated by the French commissioners.
On the reverse side from that upon
which the death sentence is WRITE n is
inscribed the following "A similar
plate is sent to each tribe"
1t is claimed that Romans were very
careful to record all official acts of the
emperor and governors, and that the
plate is genuine.

serious riot occurred Wednesday evening
Rt 8 o'clock, at the Nottingham colliery
of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal com
pany, wherein several persons were hurt
1t is feared that it is the precursor Of
troublous times in the coal regions.
On Monday last the coal company
brought here car load of foreign labor
ers, and Tuesday two more car loads
came in after nighttall The new
men were all recent importations of the
lowest type of the Slavonic race.
Wages Reduced.
Wednesday night as a gang Of fifty
men who entered the mine every night
to clear the gangways and breasts of
rock were about to descend in the shaft
to begin their work, they were informed
that the rate of wages would henceforth
be reduced from $1.69 to $1.25 per day.
Those employed in the gang are all
Americans The men held consulta-
ton and unanimously refused to accept
the reduction.
Attempt to Put Huns to Work.
AS soon as it was definitely known
that the rocklnen would not go into the
mine, Foreman Connor dispatched a
messenger to the barracks, where the
company had installed their recent i'm
portations, and in few minutes body
of the newly arrived Huns were entering
the colliery yards, every man in new
working outfit, which had been pro-
vided by the company. Their appear
ance was the signal for an outburst of
hooting and groans from the men who
were waiting to see the outcome of the
affair.
A Shower of Stones and Coal.
AS the new men, under the leadership
Connor. walked in the direction of the
shaft a voiley OF stones and pieces OF
coal fell upon them. The throwing of
missiles continued until several of the
Huns dropped.
pathizers suggested that the men ba
driven to their barracks. and bold
rush was made, sticks being freely used
on the unfortunate Huns, who were
routed.
Several injured.
The Huns have barficaded themselves
in their barracks. and as they are en-
tirely friendless it is probable that the
company will take them in the mines
under strong guards. Several of the
men sustained serious cuts and contu-
sions
What Will the Outcome BE?
