History From Buried Implements

History From Buried Implements.
Certain articles made of stone were dug
up or found in caves, such as rude hatchets
and hammers and spearheads. Ot course
they did not make themselves, and Of
course they did not come there by accident.
Somebody made them and somebody used
them. They were found in connection with
the bones Of animal&, clearly the food Of the
people who lived in those days. Many Of
these animals were like those with which
we are familiar, while others represented
species now extinct. These are your facts,
and it only remains to formulate theory.
This was not easily done, for scientific men
differed materially in opinion. A goodly
number insisted that the race was created
not more than 5000 years ago, and then
they were all befogged. The great antiquity
of the race had to be conceded before any
satisfactory progress could be made.
From the stone age the race emerged
and entered what is known as the bronze
age, and thence it passed into the iron age,
though there is difference of opinion here,
for ''Alsberg maintained that iron was the
first metal used. The rarity of the discov-
cry of iron objects, he urged, is accounted
for by the ease with which such objects are
destroyed by rust"
Alexander Bertrand suggests that it
would be very grave error to adopt the
theory according to which all human races
have passed through the same phases of de-
velopment and have gone through the same
complete series Of social conditions.
The field is still open for speculation

ON HER TRIAL TRIP.
The Cruiser New York Went Steam.
ing Down the Delaware.

Inc SIuiSeT new YORK went Steam
ing Down the Delaware.
PHILADELPHIA, May 16-The arm ored
cruiser New York is on her official trial
trip. with the rain falling in torrents. She
left the shipyards of the William Cramp &
Sons Company at IL o'clock this morning
Not hitch of any kind attended her de-
parture, and so methodica.ly was every
thing conducted that the distinguished
Russians who were on the battleship In
diana were in ecstacies of delight. The
cruiser dropped the lines of the tugs as
soon as the bow turned seaward, and pro-
ceeded majestically down the river under
her own steam. The salutes of passing
craft were returned by the hoarse whistle
of the cruiser and the officers and others
on the huge vessel waved their hats in re-
sponse to salutations from the shore.
Four hundred persons were aboard the
cruiser. including the Naval Board of In
spection. appointed by the Secretary of
the Navy, Edward 5. Cramp, superin-
tending engineer, in charge of the trial,
and Captain r. A. Sargent, who commands
the ship.
The New York has been stocked with
provisions for ten days and has 1000 tons
of coal aboard. She looks every inch a
fighter. and the fact that she has been
painted adds to her warlike appearance.
With the exception OF the added length of
fourteen feet to the three big smokestacks,
the general appearance OF the cruiser is
the same as when she started on her un-
official trial. The official trial will consist
of two cruises over measured course be-
tween Cape Ann. Mass, and Cape Por-
poise. Me. Should she maintain the
record made on her unofficial trip she will
earn premiums of nearly S2O0, 600 for her
hnildnra

Defeated.


STOCKTON, May 16.-Tne city election
held here to-day resulted in the election of
seven Republicans and seven Democrats.
The Republicans are: Mayor. w. R. Clark.

r. Il. Reibenstein and J. j. Quinn, Council
men.
The Democrats in electing three out Of
the five Councilmen have gained control
of the City Council. The Mayor has the
appointing power and distribution of pa
tronage. a big fight was made on the con-
troll Of the Board of Public Works, which
Is composed of the Mayer, Street Superin-
tendent and Surveyor. The present Sur
veyor, g. \. Atherton, will not give up the
Office for the reason that Compton is in-
eligible under the city charter, which says
that no man can hold office who has not
resided in the city two years. Mayor
Clark's plurality was II votes.
The Peoples party candidate for Mayor,
w. w. Cowell. received 3S4 votes out of a
total of 1868 votes. The strength of the
Peoples party, as shown by the vote on
mayUralty. is a surprise 10 many. One
man on the Peoples party ticket had SOS
votes. the result of a diligent personal

at Brooklyn. A bill in equiety was
filed with the United States Court
asking for the appointment of a receiver
for Risley's property pending an examina-
tion of the accounts of Mcdonald and
Risley as attorneys in the Alabama
claims for tieing up several millions OF
dollars. The lis pendens is to prevent
Risley from disposing of his property be-
fore these accounts are examined. The
petition asks the court for a writ ne
exerat regno restraining Risley from de-
parting out of its jurisdiction, and per-
manent Injunction against the sale of his
property in Westminster and Kings coun-
ties is also asked.
The position OF Risley as an official Of
the United States under commission to
sail to foreign country makes the petition
for writ ne eXeat regno of special In
terest. 1t is said there is no case where
such writ has been granted against
United States Minister, and SO lawyers
are unable to say whether it would hold
in this case.
