 A faith-cure physician at Chicago, held responsible by a coroner's jury for the death of sick person thus treated, has been let off by grand jury which de- cided that if any ybody wanted to submit to this cure or make test of Christian sci ence it was nobody's business but his own.
 A correspondent of the American Israel- ite has found, while examining the cata- logue of a "large eastern college" (the name of which is not given), that ten per cent of the students there are Hebrews and that last year the Hebrew students secured, by competitive tests, sixty per cent. of the honors that were awarded. What right have they to be so smart.
 Those who are advocating irrigation to reclaim some of the barren lands of the West can find much encouragement in the reports that come from the great desert re- zion of northern Africa. Readers with good memories will recall the efforts that were made dozen years ago to reclaim portions of the Sahara by means of srte- sian wells. Those efforts have been largely crowned with success, so that now in Algeria alone there are 19,0OO square miles producing splendid crops of fruits and cereals which were once barren and deserted.
 Money will do great many things. An artificial waterfall, to be the highest and finest of it's kind in the world, is being constructed in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. The water will have a fall of seventy-five feet, and will come from one of the city reservoirs. A gorge will be cut in the face of the hill, and be made as nearly as possible like @ natural ravine. Plants, flowers, mosses, and ferns will grow along it's sides, and at the base huge boulders will be arranged to throw the water in separate streams and to dash up spray. About 1000, 900 gal Ions of water day will be used in the fall. The waterfall is the gift of Mir. Huntington to the city.

TRIAL OF MURDERER LONG.
His Half-Witted Daughter Testifies
Against Her Mother and Husband.

Against der Mother and Husband.
WHATcoM, March 2s.-[Special.] I'm the
trial of Long today Ida Humes, daughter
of defendant and wife of Norman Humes,
one of the victims of the tragedy, was
placed on the stand by the defense. Her
testimony was to the effect that an in
trigHe had been going on for many weeks
between her mother and her husband, and
that her marriage with Humes was
brought about by the mother to shield her
own conduct with Humes. She seemed to
be but half-witted girl, and her recollec-
ton of the tragedy was apparently
dimmed. On cross-examination she de-
MED ever having made any statements diff
ferent from those she made on the witness
stand, and testified that her father was al
ways good to her mother and to her. Her
testimony was badly shattered by q rigid
cross-examination.
Defendant himself next took the stand.
He appeared much affected while giving
his testimony, and claimed that the kill
ing of his wife was accidental and done
while in crazed condition. He stated
that on the evening of the murder he was
concealed under Humes' house and over
heard his wife and Humes plotting to take
his lite and secure his property, and at the
same time they were abusing his daughter,
which maddened him beyond endurance,
when he at once sprang into the house,
revolver in hand. As he did so both his
wife and Humes sprang toward him and
he at once commenced shooting, killing
both. His cross-examination will COM
mence tomorrow. The prosecution ex-
poets to show in rebuttal that the girl had
made very different statements to .

Tries to Intimidate Tacoma Citizens
With His Bad Mouth.

with His Bad Mouth.
TACOMA. March 2S-[Special M. C.
Sullivan, of Portland, manager of Thiel's
detective agency, was arrested and put
under bonds this afternoon on a warrant
sworn out by c. H. Anderson, charging
him with threatening to do him violence.
Sullivan will have hearing on April 6.
Mr.. Anderson is a friend of ex-Agent
Mcintyre, of the WeIls-Fargo Express
Company, and with others boards with
him at a private house on Tacoma avenue.
He had some words with Sullivan at the
Tacoma hotel few days ago. Sullivan,
he says, invited him to his room and then
abused him shamefully, threatening
among other things that he would shoot
him, and declaring that he would send
Mcintyre to the penitent1ary, whether
guilty or innocent. This encounter was
the result of Anderson having upbraided
Sullivan for his treatment of MCINTYRE at
Portland.
Today Mcintyre and Stewards hearing
on the charge of having stolen 81 500 from
the express company's treasury box, was
postponed until April Z. Anderson was
present, and is said to have referred to Sui
Ivan as - -, who had all the
evidence he would ever get out of McIn-
tyre. Sullivan, hearing of the remark.
threatened to put a 44-caliber bullet
through his head, etc. Replying to an
intimation of mob attack, Sullivan said he
could get his men together and clean the
crowd up.
S. A. Perkins, who is one of McIntyre's
bondsmen, and who incurred Sullivan's
displeasure by assisting John L. Cohoon
in a friendly way. was also threatened by
Sullivan few days ago, but he paid no
attention to him.
The fact that Sullivan says he would like
to see H. s. Huson elected mayor is being
used to prejudice voters against that can
didate.

The Hanson Cab Fad.


For a year or two the private hanson

true mark of gentility for the private cab
is the same degree of somberness that dis

down Fifth avenue last week, the street

high-stepper, was Respondent in glittering

Instead of steel tires, cutting and knock

this vehicle were adorned with heavy rub
Der tires. 1t was absolutely noiseless But
as the vehicle came bounding over the
sharp Belgian blocks of the pavement the
vibration was something frightful to be-
mold. The gorgeously attired dude
sitting inside was bouncing up and
down as though composed of calf's
foot jelly. The rapidty of the vibra-
ton was such that his face seemed
to be about a foot and a half long,
and his eyeglasses were so elongated
that they seemed in appearance very much
like the prismatic glass pendents that We
used 10 see on the old-fashioned chan
deliers. If the horse had only been shod
in rubber, the whole outfit might have
swept through the streets as noiselessly as
q canoe on the bosom OF still waters. The
private hanson cab is destined to become
the distinguishing mark of New York

Legislative Freedom for India.

LONDON, March 2S--In the commons to-
night, Curzon. parliamentary secretary
for India, moved the second reading of
the bill widening the basis of the legisla-
tive councils in India. Gladstone said he
construed the bill as meaning that
the government intended seriously
to consider what elements India
could furnish, with view to introducing
elective principles into the councils. 1t
was not desirable that parliament should
make that effort and the best course would
be TO commend the plan to the authorities
in India with a clear direction of
principles on which the house
desired the government of India
TO proceed If there was q real success
obtained in even limited application of
the elective principle it would be an
achievement with which it would be diff
cult to find a parallel in the records of his
tory. The bill passed the second reading.
