The condition of men and things in
terial for joke. Wise men anticipated
slump in certain lines of business after
the Fair. They expected to ind hotels
comparatively deserted, htatres un-
patronized and great aggregation of
temporary structures thrown upon the
market. They did not, however, think
of the army of distressed who now pa
rade the streets of the Windy City. The
difficulty in dealing with these poor fell
lows is their varying deserts. Some are
honest mechanics out of work, some are
less suffer, same are professional mem
dieapts, and thousands belong to the
class of ne'er-do- wells who literally
have no place in which to lay their
heads; whose constant companions are
hanger, thirst and worry. That the des-
titution is widespread and need of i'm
mediate relief Imperative is evi,len
from the appeals published in the daily
papers. 1t is an impossibllty to pro-
vide those who are willing TO work with
re munerative employment. What to do
with the professional beggars and Grim
inals among til Sc people is much
easier task. They can be arrested and
imprisoned. This throws the burden of
the support upon the public, to be sure,
but the public is patient ass.-N. Y.

Antidote For Mercurial Poison.

Those who are working in qnartz
mills will be interested in the reported
discovery of an effective antidote for
mercury poisoning. Optcan saws:
"Mercury and it's compounds are uni
versally known to have most injurious
effect upon the human system, aud the
shake, the shortness of breath, the
sickening pallor, the listlessness and
semi-stupefaction of operatives who are
daily subjected to its fumes, are sadly
familiar. Much has been done to i'm
prove the health of the work men by
means of ventilation and improved ma
chinery and pumps, but still the evil
exists to serious extent. Slight cases
are usually and qnickly cured by change
of air or of work, but if not taken in
time the trouble may end fatally. 1t is
not always, however, tha. workman
can afford to either take change of air
or turn his hand to some other employ
ment, and here the new remedy comes
in.
Some four years ago one of the part
ners in large Partisan incandescent
lamp manufacturing firm become sali
yated while experimenting with mer-
curry pumps. and he cure himself COM
pletely by means of small doses of TO-
dide OF potassium dissolved in milk. He
next administered similar doses to some
work men employed in his factory, who
were suffering from mercury poisoning,
and they quickly and completely recov-
cred. In his present factory, into which
he moved year ago, there has not been
single case of salvation, and this ex-
emption is attributed to the fact that
doses of the iodide have been eontinu-
ousy administered to the work men.
Men from other factories have been
taken in who on entering exhibited the
characteristic signs of mercury poison
ing, and ho recovered forthwith. The
daily dose supplied by the firm to each
man is % grammes of the crystalized
salt dissolved in about 400 cubic cent?
meters of milk. 1t has been suggested
to increase the dose in sur mer, when
cases of salvation are much more fre-
quent, and to diminish it during the
cooler months of the year but the
present method seems to meet all re-
qnirements, and the distressing malady
is now robbed of its terrors."

Boise City and the Oregon Pacific.

The recent purchase of the Oregon Pa
cifc road by the bondholders should
prove matter very gratifyin 10 the cit
zens of Boise and is of considerable in
terest to the people of Owyhee county.
The road, if completed as projected by
the former owners, would have been a
very impo rtant rival TO the Southern Pa
ciic road and there was an apprehen-
sion that, at the sale, the road might
fall into the hands of that company,
which would have stopped any further
construction. 1t is we'll known that the
original backer of the enterprise were
the Chicago & Northwestern company,
which company has road bnilt as far
westward as Caspar, Wyoming, and sur
veys completed to Ogden, Utah. ]. l..
Blair, who bought in the Oregon Pa
cifc in the interest of the bondholders,
is clearly identified with the Northwest
ern, and it is believed that as soon as
the present financial stringepcy shall
have passed away, work will be begun
extending the Oregon Pacific eastward
from its present terminus in the Cascade
mountains, to Boise City. The North
western is prepared to build westward
from Caspar and the probability is that
tho two roads will connect at Boise
City.
Considerable grading was done on the
Oregon Pacific years ago, principally to
head offihe Union Pacific in canyons
and ountain passes between Boise
City and the Cascades. The route upon
which this work was done crosses Snake
river near the mouth of Snccor creek.
This route may be DETECTED further
southwar J, y ithout materially increasing
the distance, bringing it much nearer
South Mountain and DeLamar,by which
means it would supply the nearest rail-
road connections for all the mining
camps in Owyhee. W heiher it should
be built nearer our camp or not, Boise
City's prospects are certainly frightened
under the present outlook. The Ore
gon Pacific, whose western terminus is
on Yaquima Bay, would give this sec
tion of Idaho a connection with San
Francisco which would restore business
relations, no so nearly eKtnguished.
The road would open up important sec
tions of Oregon and Idaho now greatly
needing railroad facilities.

Dubois Made Famous.
The Star this evening says:

The Star this evening says:
Every one who watched the gallant
fight which Senator Dubois, of Idaho,
made for silver in the extra session, felt
that some day fame, with a capital F,
would descend upon the young and able
Senator and envelop his manly form in
its wings. Well. fame has descended.
Out in Colorado there is new city. A
few days ago it consisted of three cabina,
but some one discovered some rich gold
veins. Now several hundred people are
settled there. Mines have been opened
from which ore has been taken which
assays $40 to $4,000 per ton. With such
great prospect for the future as this
ore presented, the miners felt that their
new town ought TO have a name, so
they met in convention and unani-
mously agreed to call it Dubois, after
the young Idaho Senator, and in recog
milton of his valiant fight for their in
terests in be United States Senate. This
decision was duly conveyed to the SEN
ator in an official letter. asking him to
ratify the action of the camp, and filed
to the brim with mplimentary ex-
pressions.
Yesterday Senator Dubois sent his
answer. He wrote his mining friends
as men of the West write and speak to
one another.-direct from the heart,
and without any high flown rhetoric:
81 appreciate more than words can ex-
press" he said, 'the compliment which
my neighbers, the brave men of Colo
RADIO in your section, pay me by naming
a new, active and vigorous town Dubois,
in my honor. am more than amply
repaid for any hard work did in behalf
of silver by such recognition as this.
Ny great desire in public life is to ad
vance the interests of the people Of
aud to enjoy their confidence. Next is
a wish, almost equally strong, to be of
service to the Rocky mountain region.
My own people have exaggerated my
efforts, and have ever been charitable
to my shortcomings. l feel that you,
also, oyerestimate my services. The
Idaho folks know, and can assure you,
| am enlisted in our common cause.
Until the battle is won my ambition
goes no further than to be Senator
from Idaho and to deserve the good will
from the Rocky mountain people.
Please convey to the good folks of Du-
bois my sincere thanks and appreciation
of their kindness"

a few weeks ago large gathering Of
divines in England refused to adopt a
resolution affirming the proposition that
the wages of a labofing man should be
suffi cientIy large to keep him from
starving, and on Tuesday the House Of
Commons, by an overwhelming vote,
rejected motion made by member to
inquire into the condition of the uuem-
ployed. No doubt the fefusals in both
cases were actuaied by the desire to
adhere closely to the principles WHICH
the English conceive have done much
to advance the prosperity of their coun-
try. But the disposition manifested to
shrink from inquiry. indicates distrust
of the principles and not firm belief in
them. If there was auy possibility of
promptly demonstrating that the none
tary and tariff system of England are
not working serious injury to large
classes in that country the opportunity
TO do SO would be eagerly seizsd.-S. f.

it would be graceful act on her part to
make present of it to Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Sovereign, head of the Knights of

He must have patience with the Demo-

the hours of labor, but abolishing labor
altogether.
The social season at Washington prom

who elected them are rather blue.

An Ancient English title.

One of the minor titles borne by the
sovereigns of England ever since the
accession of the house of Hanover
is sacri Romani imperii, archi-thes-
aurus, arch-treasurer of the Roman
empire. The title dates back to Fred
erick, the elector palatine, who held
the Office stated, but for ages after his
time its duties were performed by
deputy. They do not relate to the
treasury, but to certain matters con-
nected with public ceremonies. 1t was
originally the right of this off cial to
carry the crown before the emperor at
the coronation, and to distribute coin
as largess among the people during
the ceremonies.

A neft-rinrerod B1acIssmIth.

At Norristown, Me-, w. B. Logan,
horseshoer, made nine miniature horse
shoes from the metal contained in one
silver dime Each shoe has the num-
Der of holes usually found in horse
shoes of the ordinary size, but, strange
to say, the smallest cambria needle is
too large to be used as nails in these
miniature wonders. Logan has made
affidavit that every one of these tiny
silver crescents were made with the
same hammer and punch used in maxi
ing shoes for the largest sized horses.
How it was ever done is a mystery.

In she face Of a treasury deficit and
the imperative necessity for an increase
OF revenue, the Ways and Means Com
mittee has done the best it could to re-
lieve the country's industries and the
people Of the burdens Of McKlnleyism,
Of unjust and unequal tariff taxation.
The work Of framing the Democratic
tariff bin has been arduOus but the re-
suit thus far promises a clearing sky for
American industry and a realization Of
the dreams Of our fathers who founded
the American Republic, which, in spite
Of its shackles Of thirty years Of taxation
Of the millions for the benefit Of the
thousands, is to-day the most powerful
on earth. With our breadth Of con-
tinent and the uneQualed natural re-
sources we possess what have Ameri-
cans to fear from any country on earthP
We ask no odds. We ask nothing
but the opportunity to meet the world
in the worlds markets unhandicapped.
That opportunity is presented in the
Wilson tariff bill.
