The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1893-01-23

Mr.. j. T. Bent, T. S. A, and a scientist
Of ability, has just published an account
of the "Ruined Cities of Mashonaland,"
which he lately visited, and it is fascinat-
ing as any novel. Long, long ago the gold
mines were worked by a people who built
fortified towns. They were evidently con-
structed by people who came from a great
distance for q special purpose and took
the most elaborate precautions to secure
themselves against attack. There seems
to be no reason to question the conclusions
of ethnologists that these ancient %sojourn-
ers in Mashonaland burrowed for gold,
which they carried back to Arabia. Their
monuments are extremely primitive, and
they were SO thoughtiess as to leave no
inscriptions forthe benefit of the specula-
tive theorist. The most interesting dis
covery is the trace Of Semitic blood in the
population today, atrack of inquiry which
may carry the Mashona pedigree back to
Ham.
All railroads in South Africa are owned
and run by the government, and it is now
pushing a line northward into Mashona-
land at considerable expense, as some of
the mountains have to be tunneled, and the
occasional swanaps are very unhealthy for
white men. Thu natives are described by
Mr.. Bent as remarkably moral and honest,
and 'the great chief, Khama, is a sincerely
religious man, who prohibits the brewing
of beer, holds services twice every Sunday,
vigorously ~enforces the observance Of that
day, regulates the price of every comnod-
ity, and when be sells a horse which subse-
quently falls i'll always returns the money
to the purchaser" The explorer humor-
ously suggests that Khama send mission
aries to England. The greatest lack in all
that region Is pc ssupplyof water.

She Relating er a ,.+

A week or so ago a shabbily dressed, mid
dle-aged woman walked into a music store on
Broadway and wandered about the establish
ment as if looking for someone, says the New
York Sun. There were few customers In the
place and the strangely acting woman made
efforts to attract their attention. When she
had succeeded she uttered cry and fell to
the floor Clerks and customers FASTENED to
the PROSTATE form. The woman was placed
in a chair and she feebly asked for q drink OF
brandy. One of the men in the store ran out
chair swallowed every drop Of IT,.
"GreatStun that she exclaimed.
How are you nowY" asked sympathetic
elderly woman.
Much better. That drink saved my life,
but l didn't earn it?"
w hat do you mean"
Il was diving for drink and hadn't cent.
So thought I'd faint away. Much obliged to
you all. Good day" and away she went out
Of the store.

haired clerk Its Lotlise Searle, the best
And so it was. 1t was only few years ago
that Louise Searle stood alone in her line of
work. She was handsome and shapely, and
her voice was truly wonderful. She possessed
a great amount of magnetism, and some of
f. E. Rices early successes were due par
TALLY to Louise Searle. When on the top
waves of success she suddenly disappeared
She still retained her wonderful voice, but
her habits kept her away from continued
prosperity. During the last few years she
has led an unfortunate existence, going from
bad to worse. She broke down completely
few days ago. When the officers of the Ac-
tors Fund learned of the sad condition of
they took her from little, stuffy room, and

Con. Calsure. of Mississippi who. in
thc last con 7,s. was member of tho
committee ul rules. in au Interview n
Washington day or two ago, declared
thar jhc present congress would not Doe
able 20 pass ans important measure unless
there ssas radical change in the rules
a change that would enable the speaker
% shut on tilibustering Thcclosing days
of the last congress were wasted by a
great number and variety Of motions that
had mo- other purpose than TO secure de
lay
With the rules as they now are it is
possible for a strong and aggressive mi
nority to practically bring legislation to a
stand still
The fight against the bill for the repeal
Of the Sherman silver-purchase ctand the
bill to reform the tariff will be extremely
vigorous. No means win be left untricd
to prevent the passage of either of them.
Even with a good working majority it
would be an extremely difficult matter to
pass either measure with the rules as
they are at present.
Gen, Catchings is wise in suggesting
rule that will shut of all dilatory motions
and all debate when the majority is ready
to vote on measure. Such rule would,
of course, be criticised as an abridgement
of the rights of the minority, but the
minority ought not to expect much con
sideration when it abuses its rights.
There is a good deal of important work
for the present congress to do, and it can
not afford to have its time wasted by fill
clustering tactics. The amendment to the
present rules that Gen. Catching intends
to propose would have the effect of multi
flying the power of obstructionists.

That AlIared AFFIDAVIT.

The alleged existence of an AFFIDAVIT
charging collision between Judge Speer
and Lawyer Romtree in placing the
Central railroad in the hands of a re
ceiver does not appear to have made much
impression upon the public Both
Judge Speer and Mr.. Rountree deny
there was any collision or any under
standing between them relative to the
bill for a receiver filed by Mr.. Rountree,
and as the affidavit has not been pro-
duced it is pretty safe to say it has no
existence.
Judge Speer is not the sort of Judge to
enter into an agreement with an attorney
as to what he would do in such an impor-
tant matter as placing a great corpora
tion the hands of receiver, and there is
nothing in his record to justify suspic-
ion that he had any understanding with
Mr.. Rountree in the Central railroad case
before the bill for receiver was fled
Nothing but actual proof would make the
people believe Judge Speer has acted i'm
properly in anything he has done in con-
nection with the Central railroad, and
that is not likely to be Forthcoming.
