The constitution of the Argentine Re
public is in its principal features idenas
cal with that of the United States. Neve,
theless there are some differences worth
of note The president is elected in Or,
cisely the same manner as in the United
States, but cannot be reelected, and his
term of Office is six years. He has
more power than the president of the
United States, as far as making appoint.
ments is concerned, since he only asks
the advice and consent Of the senate to
appoint diplomatic ministers, judges
and officers of the army and navy above
the rank of colonel.
He fills all other offices at his own dis
erection, but all his DEGREES, proclama-
ton, ETC., must be countersigned by
a cabinet minister or else are valueless.
Thus the constitution makes the cabinet
ministers responsible for all the acts of
the president.
The members of the cabinet can an
swer questions and take part in the de-
bates Of the house and the senate, al
though they are not members of either
body, nor does an adverse vote ON any
measure of the government carry with
1t a change in the cabinet, as is the case
in France and England and is becoming
the custom in Chilli.
The powers Of the Argentine congress
are similar to those vested in the con-
gress Of the United States, though some
what greater. The congress has the
power to legislate for all the provinces,
debating codes to be applied in all of
them, thus securing uniformity Of legis-
lation. The provinces reserve the right
to elect their own judges, as well as the
other officials that their local constitu
ton demands. All federal and provin-
cial judges are appointed for life, and
cannot be removed unless they are i'm
peached and condemned.-N England

An Automatic sewer Inspector.

That telegraph wire extending from
the cavernous depths of the Jones street
sewer will tell tale soon and tell it in
the city engineers Office.
1t runs into a machine that looks like
a double "speed recorder" such as is
used in measuring the gait of a railway
train. A pair of wires lead to the re-
corder and drum of paper under the
point of pen records the flow and
height of water through the sewer in
ordinary times and in and after each
rain. II is not necessary to insure a
sewer inspectors life and station him in
the big conduit; the apparatus does the
work.
The second drum Of paper in the cab
met of the city engineers Office records
the rainfall.
Compared, the two registers show the
capacity and performance of the sewer.
The wire will be placed in each of the
city's main sewers, and the knowledge
gained will be used in devising the en-
largement Of the city's sewer system,
showing what sewers can stand more
branches, and what are taxed to their
full capacity.
Assistant City Engineer Grover is the
inventor of the apparatus, and it was
built in this city.-Omaha World-Her-

A queer tramp woman, Betty Ann Ar
mold, Is confined in the Central police
station at Dayton, o. She was arrested
for safe keeping, but will probably be
released and allowed to continue her
migratory life. She was born in Logan,
Hardin county, and when twenty-one
years Of age was engaged to be married
to farmer Of this valley. Her uncle
abducted her, and since that time,
twenty-two years ago, she has been on
the road constantly. Donning mems
clothes she easily secured a job as brake
man.
While crossing the river at Wheeling
she says the structure gave way and
precipitated the freight train crew into
the river. She was the only one that
escaped. Following the Ohio river she
arrived ut Cincinnati, still in male attire.
She secured work ON boat, the Daniel
Boone, and relates an exciting expert
ence in connection with this part of her
journey.
There were three wealthy passengers
on board destined for Pittsburg. On the
night after leaving Cincinnati two negro
boat hands murdered the three passen-
gers and after robbing them threw their
bodies into the river. She was threat
ened with death If she informed any ono
Of their action, and in terror of her life
she jumped over the side Of the boat and
SWAN ashore. Several shots were fred
at her, but missed their aim, and Betty
escaped. a
Gaining the shore she started back to
Cincinnati and roamed about for some
time. AS evening approached she
sought the outskirts Of the city. where
she intended to sleep until morning.
She says she knew nothing of what hap
pened until she next found herself in a
Cincinnati medical college, where she
had been taken by body snatcher, who
had chloroformed her and sold her body
to students. She was at once released
on gaining consciousness, but was
warned not to speak word of what had
occurred.
Her life is filled with exciting Incl
dents--hairbreadt escapes. s.--Cincinnati

GAVE A GRAND PoTLATct,.


The singular Method a Siwash Indian
Took Of Spending $1,000.
Speaking with prominent Gamer .
few days ago representative Of the
Westminster (B. C.) Columbian in
quired how the Indians were faring this
ycnr in the salmon fishing, and whether
they would be rich enough to indulge in
the potlatch. They won't have much
money to throw away In that direc-
ton this season." replied the canner.
LAST year great many Siwashes made
Eocd wages. and potlatches were all the
rage for some time afterward. They
arc curious people, and it is astonish-
Ing the delight they take in appearing
liberal and wealthy in the eyes of their
friends. Last year had an Indian
working for me who earned 81, 400. He
drew the whole of this in lump sum
and laid 1t out in eight muskets, q dozen
boxes of crackers and the balance
about s1.200--in blankets. Then the
ioble red man called all the Indians
within reach together and announced
ais intention of giving grand potlatch.
1.-THE blankets were spread out in a
acre field, with the crackers on the
outside for his friends to lunch on and
he muskets in the center. When the
ipro;nted time arrived to begin the
ceremonies the Indian waded through
he sea of blankets to where the mus
Sets lay. Here he climbed on box and
began a long oration which lasted over
IN hour, at the end of which time he
picked up the blankets one by one and
mashed them over the box, signifying
that all enmity between the tribes
present was forever ended and rifles
would no longer be needed. Then he
gave the signal that the potlatch had
commenced ,and the Indian women sailed
in aud packed away not only one pair Of
olanxets, but as many as they could
carry. and in few minutes there was
not even a single blanket left for the
use Of the generous contributor. This
grand give away Of course nsade the
Siwash very popular, and a tvw days
after he was made subchief Vt hts tribe.
A few weeks later this same Indian came
TO me dead broke and got sack of -four
on credit"
lis the potlatch common among the
ordinary run of Indiansr' asked the
newspaper man.
"As a rule the head men of the tribe
do this sort of thing" replied the salmon
packer, '.but once in while an ambi-
tons young Siwash tries to make a name
for himself. Last fall young fellow
who had made little money fishing for
me came into the Office and got $3.50 in
silver. With this he climbed on the top
of q shack, and after addressing the
multitude for an hour and hale scat
tered every cent Of the money among
the people below This young Indian is
looked upon as coming man, and by
the time he has squandered the earnings
of half dozen seasons fishing he will
be made chief But fish are few and
there won't be many potlatches this
year." concluded the cannery man.

Cork soies I'm Autumn Shoes.

The heaviest shoes of the fall styles
for mems wear have an intermediate sole
of cork. Cork itself, sufficiently thick,
is good preventive of dampness, but
some of the shayings or thin veneers of
this material .. .at are used, being full of
imperfections and air vents, would con-
tribute but slightly toward keeping the
feet dry. Cork when cut very thin pos
sesses but little of waterproof quality.
Its chief virtue lies in the fact that it
furnishes thin, elastic cushion for the
sole Of the foot. To add to this desirable
feature by more thickness would also
tend to keep out moisture, but to secure
these ends the shoe soles must needs ex-
ceed desirable thickness.-Shoe and
