A ,FALsEHooD persistently stuck to

public credence. That is the reason, no
doubt, that Republican editors, who are
utterly destitute of regard for truth, per-
sist in giving the Mckinley bill credit
for the success of the beetsugar industry
in this country. The Alvarado factory
in this state has been in successful OPP
GRAFTON for twenty years. That surely
had ne Mckinley coddling- The factory
at Watsonville has been In successful
operation for about five years. The
Oxnard's sugar refinery in South Dakota
has been in operation for two or three
years, and the ChiEo beet sugar enter
prise had been started and fully deter
mined upon before the Mckinley meas-
ure had developed in congress. So that
that measure has as much to do with,
the success of beet sugar enterprises as
the man in the moon. But as we are
dealing with fellows who will 90 on re-

we shall say no more than to express
our astonishment that the Mckinley bill
has not been credited with having pro-
duced the felicitous season that makes
crops of all kinds abundant, sugar beets,
as well as oats and beans and barley

then VIGOROUSLY unruly, but he was six
feet high, uncommonly well muscled and
a man in mind, and SO the downing" was
a sad failure.
He boarded round" week in each fam
lily among his patrons until times got so
prosperous in 1905 that he received
twenty-five dollars a month salary and
could choose his own boarding house One
term he had seventy-eight girls and eighty
one boys, and taught all of them with fair
success. Finally he established private
school in Salem, Mass, and kept it up
twentyone years. In 1857 he spent win
ter in Cuba for his health, but resumed
teaching on his return. After filling vari-
Gus positions elsewhere he began teaching
in Manchester in 1867 and continued till
1882 when he retired from work.
His loo pupils are of course scattered
all over America, but the oldest one, Cap
tain John Carter, lives in Manchester at
the age of eighty-two. Price has kept a
record of them as far as possible, and 491
are known to have died He has been q
member of the Congregational church for
sixty-two years and deacon since 1s42,
and has been active in all good work as
well as teaching.

Perils of the Street.

Many are the dangers of the street. A
young man stepped into the Union
League club one night last week bleed
ing profusely at the ear. He had searched
in vain for six different DOCTORS and
finally went to the club, hoping possibly
to find one there. His hurt was received
on Fifth avenue near Forty-fifth street.
Just as a stage passed he and his com
panion heard a sharp explosion and saw
smoke come from under the wheels.
Then the young man felt sting on the
ear, and putting up his hand found that
he was bleeding. His blood had soaked
two handkerchiefs before the flow was
checked. A cartridge or large percus-
sion cap had probably been dropped in
the street and piece of the metal had
struck the young man when the wheel
exploded the charge. New York Cor.

A Curious Palm Of South America.

One of the most curious palms in the
world is called the ''Ita," and is very
abundant on the banks of the Amazon,
Rio Negro and Orinoco rivers. In the
delta of the latter it occupies swampy
tracks, which are at times completely
inundated and present the appearance of
forests rising out of the water. The
Bwamps are inhabited by tribe of In
dams called Guaranes, who subsist al
most entirely upon the produce of the
tree. During the annual floods they sus-
pend their houses from tops of the tall
stems of the palms. The outer skin of
the young leaves is made into cords for
hammocks, and the soft inner bark yields
o nutritious farinaceous substance.-In-

time out and been discharged The
prisoner, doubtless, behaved himself
and got the benefit of enough credits to
reduce his time month or so. There
is disposition to Blame the supreme
court for holding back its decisions, as
in this case. On the other hand, the
convenience of that tribunal ought to be
considered by the lower courts, and sem
fences ought to be made long enough to
give the supreme court time to decide
appeals in them before the terms of the
parties interested have expired. These
two propositions would form inviting
subjects for some of our local debating
societies.

The Wends, who, we believe, are the
ancestors of the modern Prussians, are
the center of many legends. The Pied
Piper of Halnelin was Wend; so also
was the piper of the Hartz mountains,
who appeared so many days year, and
played unearthly tunes, and whosoever
heard at once fell into a frenzy, from
which there was no escaping. All these
pied and weird pipers assembled once a
year at the Broken, where there was a
general carnival, the Arch Fiend lead
ing the concert on violin, witches roll
ing around and fddling on the skulls Of
horses, and the pipers adding the con-
cert of their unholy instruments. Cham

AN ATrAcHE of the HERALD had to
make business canvass of that portion
of the city lying south of Tenth and west
of Main streets. In doing SO he made a
note of every house in that part of the

five. This shows that Los Angeles is

that it will not be long before there will

In the first act of The Hustler as played

TRYING TO SAVE The ABDUCrOR.

Clark Bell. counsel for sylvester +. Wilson, who was
convicted Of abducting Libbie Sunderland, appeared
IN Part III of General Sessions yesterday to move for
the appointment of commission to inquire into the
question Of his clients sanity. Mr.. Bell read afdavfs
made by himself, DIR. l.. L. Mlal OF No. las West
Twelfth-st and Dr. Frank ii. Ingram, OF the Murray
Hill Hotel, all three declaring that they believed
Wilson to be insane Mr. Bell said that he had wished
to enter that defence in the trial, but Wilson would
not allow him to do The two physicians were sure
that it would be perfectly safe to set the prisoner at
liberty, although he was insane
Mr.. Bell also asked for a stay of all proceedings
under the conviction, pending the examination by the
commission. Judge MARITIME denied the application on
the spot lie said that Wilson had given no sign Of
insanity in his trial. although he had been put through
a long and rigorous examination. The applica-
ton was wholly without merit the Judge said, and
was an attempt to thwat justice to make void the
conviction after fair trial.
Mr.. Bell also made an application to Justice Patter-
son. In the supreme Court Chambers, for stay pend
ing appeal In the case Of Wilson. Decision was re
served upon the motion.
