Bright beach pebbles that have been
rolled back and forth on the sandy shore of
Lake Michigan nobody knows how long are
used as commercial commodity in Chiea-
go. They eventually find themselves stick
ing in hot tar and making the gravel part
of gravel roofs, crushed under heavy rollers
for street paYements and packed away
solidly as the base of made stone sidewalks.
The most interesting operation through
which these bright colored bits go is the
gathering. Men clad in trousers rolled up to
the knees, shirt and straw hat wade along
the beach where the water line makes the
pebbles show clearly. In their hands is II
sort of net and hoe combined The hoe
part is an open iron frame with thin shoe
where the edge of the blade would be.
Stretched on this frame aud bending at an
angle of 45 degrees is stout wire net.
With the shoe the gravel is lifted from the
beach and drawn back into the net, through
which the adhered sand percolates.
Having filled IA net, the workman with
peculiar fling lands the load against sieve
perched upon wagon. This sieve allows
the pebbles of commercial size to pass
through into the wagon and rejects those
too large, which fail back pattrring into
the road. 1t is u common thing to see two
and three wagons at time punched along
the beach in Lake View, each attended by
bare legged man with one of the peculiar
gravel scoops in his hands. Chicago Trib-

My advice on taking a maid to sea on a
yacht is the same some one gave to friend
on the subject of MARRIAGE Don't" She
suffers invariably from seasiekness, which
makes her useless for short voyage.
On long voyage she is much too refined
o creature to put up with the little incon-
venienccs that ladies accept with a smile.
She sets the steward and cook by the ears,
foments quarrels among the sailors and
flirts with the mate when he should be in
tent on his duties.
Do you wish to go on shore, there is al
ways the maid to consider. She cannot,
she protests, be left alone unprotected on
the ship. But if you choose to take her
that is another matter. Then there is ev-
cry reason why she must remain on board
Her clothes are too thick or too thin, Or her
head aches and she cannot bear the sun, or
her tight boots (they always wear boots a
size too small) have CALLED her feet.
II it is imperative that you have maid
with you, by all means put her on the ships
articles as stewardess. She is then, so far
as your legal authority is concerned, on the
same footing as the crew, with whom DISC
bedience is mutiny.
There are several other articles that at
first thought may seem Indispensable but
that you would do better not to meddle
with-ice machines, for instance.
We met an English yacht in Taiohai.
The first question asked me was, Have
you maid with your"
YES" was the answer. Have yous'

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.



WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Two of the most
distinguished senators on the Democratic
side OF the chamber-Harris, Of Tennessee,
and Morgan, Of Alabama-made vigorous
attacks In the senate yesterday on the sill
yer purchase repeal bill. Mr. Harris as
serted that the repeal Of the Sherman act
would be the last recognition of silver as
money, and that the Republicans who
were now aiding Mr.. Voorhees, would de
sert him as soon AS they accomplished
their purpose, and would oppose any
measure that might Represented to utilize
silver In any way or to any extent. Sena-
tor Morgan ridiculed the proposed interna
tional agreement as ian idle dream only
to be realized by the fervid imagination OF
every enthusiastic statesman He spoke
eloquently of the failure of the struggle
for American Independence II this country
could not establish its own financial sys-
tenn without the consent of Great Britain.
At the close of his speech he developed
good deal OF animosity against President
Cleveland, and intimated that the Demo.
Gratis would not love him for the friends
he had made" Senator Cameron presented
q petition bearing the signature of Mr..
Wharton Barker and probably more than
a hundred business men and firms of Phil
adelphin, asking the senate to preserve the
protective character Of the tariff and the
integrity of silver as money metal.
Instead of the interest in the discussion
on the federal election repeal bill increas-
ing it is rapidly decreasing At no time
in the house yesterday after the bill was
taken up were there more than 100 mem
bers present. and the average attendance
throughout the debate did not exceed
TWENTY-FIVE.

ALvA, o. 7, Sept. s0.-News has reached
here of a double tragedy followed by
lynching near Hennessey. Settlers have
been having much trouble with Bo-
hemians who have been pre-empting
claims by force of numbers, regardless of
the rights of prior claimants. II seems
that two surveyors, father and son, named
Alien, attempted olocate one of these Bo-
hemians on claim occupied by n young
cowboy. He resisted election, and young
Allen attacked him with hutchet, in
ficting three severe wounds. The cow
boy then drew revolver and shot both
Aliens dead. The cowboy was arrested,
but angry settlers took the Bohemians'
case in hand and hanged him to tree

HIS LIFE THE FORFEIT.
The Murderous Barcelona Anarchist sen-
tenned to Death.


BARCELONA, Sept. 30-The anarchist
Pallas, who threw two bombs at Captain
General Martinez de Campos last Satur-
day, was court martialed yesterday. He
was brought into court with his hands tied
behind his back but the president Of the
court ordered that the ropes be cut, and
gave him seat near the presidents table.
Pallas was apparently unconcerned fer his
fate, and diverted himself during the pro-
ceediDgs by playing with the inkstands be-
fore him
After the reading Of the charge Pallas
declared loudly that he would commit
the same crime hundred times over II he
had the opportunity. He had had no ac-
complice, and was alone in his RESPONSE
bility for the deed. He was sorry that he
had not killed CRmpos, whom he had
hated ever since the captain general de
feated the Republicans in 1874. Pallas
would not make any further statement.
His insolent behavior when questioned
caused the president to have him removed
from the room. After most of the hearing
was over, however, Pallas was brought
back to hear the prosecutors address.
When the prosecutor demanded, "in the
name of outraged society and for the sake
Of fcivilization," that the prisoner be SEN
fenced to boshot Pallas shouted: agreed.
There are thousands to continue the
work"
His counsel appealed for clemency on the
ground that the prisoners mind had been
deranged by demoralized literature and
evil companionship. Pallas shook his head
decidedly to deny this imputation upon
his sanity. The court adjourned i'm
mediately after PaIlas' counsel finished
his address to consider the sentence. The
decision was announced this forenoon,
Pallas being sentenced to be executed.
