MAKING PREcEDENTS.

The Federal Courts Are Overreaching
Themselves and Making Precedents For
Socialism.
ii The federal courts maintain the po-
sition assumed by Judge Taft at To-
ledo, it will give socialism a great i'm
petus in the United States and lead to
the national ownership of railroads at
no very distant day. In their anxiety
to serve corporation interests, the fed.
eral courts are in great danger of over
reaching themselves, and it will be well
for conservative railroad men, who do
not believe in forcing issues unneces-
sarily, to use their influence with the
federal judges to keep them within
bounds in their decisions in what they
imagine to be the interest of capital.
The position now assumed is Of abso.
lutte control over ailway employees, and
il is claimed that they may be prevent.
ed from quitting work except in san
orderly way'-which means, of course,
at the convenience of the companies
An official of the Ann Arbor road in
terpreting what he supposes to be his
legal rights under this decision, says he
proposes to nave every man who leaves
his engine arrested, apd he does not
nropose TO allow ,l"w any but bona fide"
designations. Commenting on tn4,, ''r'
POwderly presents the real question
when he says that ''if the courts have
the right to interfere where no violence
or wrong is done other than to stop
work, it is because the right of govern
ment to control the railroads is ad-
mitted."
Instead of resisting the courts, where
their individual rights are thus invaded,
the employees of railroads and working
men in general will be very apt to take
this view of it, yielding their own
rights for the sake of the leverage
given them by such decisions in their
efforts to overturn the present system
of private ownership of railroads.
All enemies of Capitalization; all op-
ponents of socialism: all who believe in
a system that will allow the largest
possible individual freedom, must keen

al courts which leads them to establish

A California Nnrn14r

One OF California's novel exhibits at
the worlds fair will be a panoramic and
categorical representation of the gev-
sers. The mechanical model will be
thirty-two feet long, twenty-eight feet
wide, and sixteen high. The categorical
figure is by Rupert Schmid From the
innermost recesses of the rocks. and
pushing them apart as he ascends from
the internal regions, is a giant. The
figure is about two and one-half times
the size of modern Hercules. and the
sculptor has made him as formidable
powerful and terrible looking being
as the mind could conjure He is al
most in sitting posture, one massive
leg and both arms are pushing the rocks
asunder, while the other leg carries the
weight of his body. His eyes, mouth.
low forehead and tufted beard are
worthy of demon, and his hair is as
ragged as though he had been disturbed
in his slumbers. To convey an adequate
idea of his colossal proportions, three
life-size figures are to be introduced in
the foreground peering timorously at
the monster from behind powders

A HAVEN FOR TOURISTS.
The Beauties Of Bermuda as a
Winter Resort
Many Americans Spend the Indictment
Season Among the Fruits and
Flowers OF the Delight
full Islands.

W. G. Whitney, ex-consul to Bermuda,
said at the Palmer house the other day,
according to the Chicago Inter Ocean:
"At this season of the year many
Americans are visiting the Bermuda
islands. The hotel at Hamilton is
crowded, and several people from Chi
caGo are spending the winter in the
Bermudas. Although an English pos
session the Bermuda islands are es-
sentially American in the tastes and re-
quirements of the populace and COM
mercial pursuits. Situated seven hun
dred miles from New York, they pre-
sent to the American tourist delight
full haven far out at sea, where he can
recuperate in the pure and celebrating
ocean air.
''The existence of these little islands,
three hundred and sixty-ive in number,
a mere speck as they appear almost in
midocean, has puzzled many biologists.
The largest island in the group is only
thirteen miles in length, yet it has
large population and produces all kinds
of semi-tropical fruits and flowers
abundantly. Much of the soil is planted
in onions, which are our principal prod
uct for export. The United States is
a ready IN arl1et for us, and our rela-
tons with this country are exceedingly
pleasant.
1.-THE formation of the Bermuda is
lands is calcareous, being disintegra-
ton of shells and coral reefs. 1t Is
probable that some time, centuries ago,
perhaps, the whole mass was produced
by volcanic upheaval of the ocean
bed. This theory is supported by the
great Walsingham caves, which lead for
miles under the bottom of the ocean,
and the stalactites suspended from the
roof are of volcanic formation.
aside from the native and white
population Bermuda has two regiments
of English soldiers at the forts who
garrison the islands. A notable point
of interest is a dry dock capable of
taking the largest man-of-war in the
English navy. This immense structure
was built in England and lowed the en-
tire distance to Bermuda by seven YES
sells.
Curious as it may seem, there is not
a well or drop of fresh water to be OBJ
tanned on the islands. All the houses
are made from a soft white stone, which
is carved into square blocks. Even the
roofs are of this material. Large caves
are constructed and rain is caught and
conveyed to tanks built in each house
for its reception. This rain water is
used for all purposes, and enough is Sc
cured in the rainy season to last all
summer.
There Is not spot in the world
where the ocean is SO transparent as
around the Bermudas. Objects on the
bottom can be seen thirty feet below
the surface, and thousands of deep sea
fish in all their varied phases are no.
ticeable, the whole picture forming a
grand aquarium upon which the eye
can rest for hours without fear of sa-

A Case of usur1 in London

A London Shylock recently attached
the salary of teacher for debt for Dor
rowed money. The teacher gave the
following statement, which shows that
usury is not yeta lost art: "In August,
1856, borrowed a5 (on1y) of Mr..
Louis OF Finsbury- pavement, who ad-
vertised to lend money ON hote of

PICTURE ON A COFFIN LID.
The Terrifying Sight Which Confronted
An Eastern Grave Digger.

The Terrifying Sight Which Confronted
An Eastern Grave Digger.
James Bareback, about forty-flve
years of age, was recently engaged at
Harrington Corners, ten miles from FL
mira, n. Y, in resurrecting the remains
of Mrs. NJ. C. Harrington in order to
bury them in another place. The body
had been under ground for thirty-fve
years, and in digging for it Bareback
struck a great deal of water. He
reached the remnants Of the outer box
surrounding the coffin, and when he
pulled them out of the way he was
greatly astonished to see what appeared
to be Mrs. Herrington's body, apparent
ly undisturbed and so lifelike as to con-
vey to his mind the belief that living,
breathing woman was before him.
81 tell you was scared" said Clare
back to a New York Sun correspondent,
"and ! nearly fell oyer In a faint in the
grave. When made an examination,
however, 1 discovered that it was not
the body saw before me, but an exact
photograph of it on the top of the cof-
fin lid. l then raised the coffin and
opened it. With the exception of the
head, it contained only few crumbling
bones. The head, however, was per-
fectly preserved. The bones were COW
cred with flesh which had petrifed, the
whole being as hard as a stone, while
the hair had grown to an unusual
length and was very abundant"
The coffin lid was exhibited to num-
Der of people. 1t was made of cedar
and contained an exact and perfectly
clear representation of the deceased
woman as she appeared when she died
thirty five years ago. just how to ac-
count for this no one knows, but In lieu
of INV be++or ax1 - nation that made by
the grave-digger is accepted. 1t is to
the effect that water flowing through
the grave must have raised the body so
that it was pressed against the coffin
lid and the action of the gases arising
from the body. in conjunction with the
nature of the wood, forced the picture
to appear as it did on the outer side of
the coffin lid.

The medical officer of health for the
city of London has started movement
to compel all the churches of the city to
remove the dead that are buried
beneath their floors, and bury them at
nford. It is said that the condition Of
many of these churches is frightfully
unhealthy. as they literally stand over
mass of dead bodies In various stages
of decay, from which it is wonder
that pestilence has not resulted long
ago. The move has created great cons
formation among the vestrymen of the
churches, as the process of elimination
will be expensive as well as dangerous,
the average cost per church being esti-
mated at ten Thousand dollars One
warden positively refused to allow any
interference with the dead. but when
the health officer had the flooring of his
pew taken up, and showed him what
lay beneath him every Sunday, he
quickly changed his mind One man
tried to block the proceedings by
claiming the body of mis- grandfather,
which was buried in one of the aisles
of the church some fifty years ago Hg
was told that he could have it, Of
course. all that was necessary was for
him TO identity 1t.

death-bed, requested her husband to
bury the two physicians who were then
in attendance on her person in the same

coming dissolution to their want of

not only promised his young wife to
carry out her request, but actually saw
that it was done. In the good old times
