NOTES AND COMMENT.

GOVERNOR FLOWERS appointment of
ing the prepriety of committing Harris's
sentence is a novelty in the consideration
OF such case but certainly mas some claim
TO consideration. The truth of the testi-
mony and conclusions of medical experts
Is really on trial and the popular lack Of
confidence I'm such evidence is not entirely
to be winked out of sight. Experts differ
eoo radically to be thoroughly Trustworthy
when n mans life hangs in the balance
1T SEEMS PROBABLE that the number Of
hands employed in three textile industries
alone has increased in three years, since
the spring before the Mckinley bill was
passed, no less than 100000 the wages pai
yearly to such hands about $40, ,O0O, 900. and
and the annual product about $3.50, 000, 900
These statements appear to be warrante,
by a comparison of the quantities o
materials used in wooden, cotton and sill
manufactures, and yet the Democrat
party got votes and power by crying lon
and loud that the tariff was robbing Il
people and destroying the industries OF Il
country.

BIG HAlLsToNEs IN TEXAS.

Jumps Six Inches In Diameter Said to
Have Fallen In Recent storm.
A recent hailstorm near Gay Hill oc-
Cured about 4:3O p m. About two
p. M. heavy clouds appeared in the
west, and as they slowly approached
a roaring sound was heard, such as
usually indicates coming hailstorm.
Lightning, accompanied by distant
thunder, suggested an unusual storm.
About six miles distant from the Gal
weston News mans point of observation
the clouds divided. A lisht-colored
cloud passed out from the more dense
cloud toward the southeast, while the
latter continued it's course toward the
east, but far above it at high altitude
was another cloud of a pinlsish cast,
which moved also toward the east. A
few minutes after the rain commenced
small hailstones fell, and each moment
larger ones fell than the preceding,
until they reached the size of small hen
eggs. After falling for about fifteen
minutes the hail and rain ceased for
probably two minutes. Then it com
menced again to rain heavily and con-
tinued for probably ten minutes, with
higher wind, and it was during this in
terval that the wonderfully large hail
stones fell.
This remarkable hail fell in large
Jumps, ranging from three to six inches
in diameter. heard of one piece eight
inches in diameter, which weighed four
pounds. They were, as rule, spheri-
cal in form, but some were somewhat
fiat, and nearly all were covered with
oval knobs. They fell in small areas
about two feet apart, while in other
places only one would fall in space
twenty feet square. The average UNI
der my observation was about one
hailstone to every three feet square.
The earth was thoroughly saturated
with water, and some of the large
pieces penetrated the ground in soft
places about three inches. l gathered
about bushel of the largest pieces af-
ter the rain ceased and in very httlc
while placed them in sack, which I
put in box and packed hay around

is that some of them have particles of

DESERTED VILLAGES.
Boom Towns Of the West That
Are Now Desolate.
The Rise and Fall OF Mining Camps
Which Once Had Thousands OF Peo-
pie, But Are Now tho Abodes OF
Owls and Snakes.

II Oliver Goldsmith were alive to
make tour of the far western states
and of some sections of the south, he
could find many deserted village there
that was once the liveliest II not, like
his beloved Auburn, the loveliest of the
plain. In Kansas alone, according to
the New York World, where it would
appear that towns as well as individuals
have felt the disastrous results of
phlebotomy, there are fully twenty such
abandoned villages, and in Nevada,
California, Georgia and Alabama they
are numerous. Once thriving mining
camps like Bodie and White Pine that
grew great in night; boom towns such
as Fargo Springs, that sprang up as
quickly as if a magician had called
them into being, and prosperous and
substantial cities like Sumner, in early
days the most important town and
prospective metropolis of Kansas
scores of these decayed municipalities
now lie abandoned and desolate, their
houses empty of huraan tenants and
rotting away, their streets thick with
rank growth of weeds, and only few
old timers, or in some cases only soil
tary postmaster, left to tell men of the
present generation of their former
hustle and prosperity. In various in
stances, as at Petersburg, in Georgia,
nothing but mounds of earth and a
populous cemetery remain to testify to
the towns departed glory.
Especially mournful has been the
fate of those abandoned towns whose
only inhabitants to-day are the animals
and reptiles that have left prairie and
sand hills to take refuge in the deserted
dwellings. Time has played one of his
most fantastic tricks with human for
tune in permitting owls to fit about
under the rafters that echoed all the
night through to the boisterous revelry
of owl clubs, and snakes to squirm I'M
der the very tables at which barzeepers
dealt out biting red eye in exchange for
gold dust; while wolves prowl through
the forsalzen lair of the tiger. 1t is like
plunging into an atmosphere of gloon.
to visit these blighted cities, for on
every side stand mute reminders of the
feverish activity of the past to intensity
the sad stiffness of the present.
Perhaps the most striking of accounts
of ruined boom towns are those which
relate the untoward fate of Pierce City
and Kit Carson. Less than a genera
ton ago Pierce City, with it's lawless
population of twenty thousand miners
and gamblers, was one of the most
notable settlements between Denver
and the coast. Its inhabitants to-day
are handful of Cinnamon, while Kit
Carson has only one hundred left of the
seven thousand restless souls, who
TWEEN y years ago sought gold by day
and revelry by night.
