EVERETT, March 23-(Special.l 1.-The case
of the state against Constables Raymond
and Grove. the officers charged with assault
upon Liable de Ia Croix de Castries in
Everett few months ago upon complaints
Of Nine. de ia Chasse, was called for
trial in the superior court at Snohomish
this week. The defendants were present
with their attorneys. but the prosecuting
witness failed to appear. 1t is understood
that Nine. de la Chasse. the niece Of
rAbbe, declined to appear in court with
out her husband, who is in California.
The able did not put in an appearance. nor
did any Of his friends. The case simply
went by default, and was therefore dis
missed. 1t will be remembered that the
circumstances Of the affair created . good
deal Of . sensation at the time. The
charge was that the officers. in visiting the
premises of the parties with search war
rant. were unduly severe, and cruelty as-
sauited the able.

A Constitutional Question Raised By
Csll-Republican Caucus.
WARRINGTON CITY. March 23-In tho
senate today Call offered . resolution in
regard to q commission to inquire INTO
the several executive departments Of tho
government. which was the subject of
resolution declares that the provision in
the appropriation act providing for the
appointment OF three senators and three
representatives from the Fifty-third con.
Rress by the presiding officers in the two
houses of the Fifty-second congress a.
such commission is in derogation of all
constitutional rights. privileges and pre-
negatives of each house. and otherwise
violates the constitution, and is absolutely
null and void. German suggested tho
reference Of the resolution to the commit.
tee on privileges and elections. Call said
he preferred that the resolution be printed
and laid on the table. as he wished to
make some observations upon it. That
order was made and then the senate pro-
ceeded to executive business.
After spending three quarters Of an hour
in executive session the doors opened and
the senate adjourned until Monday. The
Republican members at once went into .
caucus to consider course of procedure
on the question of reorganizing the senate
elective officers. By a practically unani-
nous vote the Republican caucus decided
to reject all offers of compromise and con-
test reorganization to the end. The caucus
was largely attended, but was of short
duration. Those in favor of contesting
the proposed organization were largely in
the majority and the vote taken was
decisive. 1t is probable that At the next
executive session an effort will be made to
settle the matter behind closed doors and
that failing. the fight will be transferred
to the open session.

The Improvement of Horses.

The sooner the farmers in the United States
realize the fact that the ordinary and commonly
bred horse is likely to deterorate in value year
by year, the better it will be for them. The
use OF cables to drag street cars has already re-
duced the service performed by horses in the
cities, and the extension of the trolley system
IN the suburbs and the perfection Of electric
motors will relieve many other thousands of
horses from such service
1t has not been so very long since nearly all
the thrashing was done by horses; now, only
very small percentage of even the thrashing-
machines are worked by horsepower. Practi-
cally, all of the blowing is now done by
horses, but a cheap and practical steam. pillow
will be shown to visitors to the Worlds Fair,
aud it is not improbable that in 10 years from
now quito large percentage of blowing will
be done without the aid of horses. The need
in the cities and on the farms for fewer horses
will tend more and more to reduce their mar
ket value.
Commonly bred horses will be the first to
deteriorate in price; indeed, it is doubtful
whether finely-bred horses will suffer at ALL
There is 10 reason why they should. The pur
poses for which they are used will not be af-
fected by any inventions revolutionizing
methods OF transportation or tillage. Even
though we could fly in the air with balloon

The Fable of the Horseshoe

You know the German fable about the
horseshoe? In the olden time in little viii
lage OF Germany blacksmith was hard at
work. The sound of the anvil and the lurid
flames from the furnace attracted the attention
of the devil. He saw that the smith was max
ing horseshoes and thought it would be a good
idea TO get his own hoofs shod. So the devil
struck a bargain and put up his foot. The
blacksmith saw with whom he was dealing and
nailed a red bot shoe on, driving the nails
square into the DEVILS hoof. The devil then
paid him and left; but the honest blacksmith
threw the money in the fire. He knew it
would bring him bad luck. Meanwhile the
devil had walked some distance and begun to
suffer the greatest torture from the shoes.
The more he danced and kicked and swore
the worse the things hurt him. Finally after
be had gone through the most excruciating
agony, he tore them off and threw them away
From that time forward whenever he saw
horseshoe he would run of, anxious ouly to
get out of the way The German pcasantry
all believe this story today, aud one can
scarcely find doorstep or barn door that
hasn't q horseshoe nailed up.

Professor Langley's Flyins-Machine.

a recent Washington dispatch gives the de.
tails of a mackerel shaped flying machine, in
the construction of which Professor Langley,
OF the Smithsonian Institution, is reported to
be engaged. An elaborate working model OF
the machine has been coutrved and when per-
fected is to be tested ut a lonely place about
40 miles down the Potomac" The machine,
says this dispatch was built in secret room
of the Smithsonian Institution, where it now
rests.
1t was conceived about 90 months ago by
Professor Langley, who associated with him in
the work of experimentation Chief Clerk w. G..
Winlock and DIR. Kidder, scientific expert
employed at that time iii tue Institution. Four
skilled workmen i'll mechanics and naetalurgy
were put to work at so cents an hour, under
pledge OF secrecy. The work went on at odd
hours, mostly at night aud on Sundays. Pro.
fessor Langley went to France to personally
superintend the making of the central tube,
which constitutes the backbone of the structure.
and brought it with him among his personal
effects TO insure careful handling"
Interest attaches to this report for several
reasons. Even flying machine must be taken
seriously if it has engaged the serious and pro-
tracted attention OF man Of such scientific
eminence as tue head Of the Smithsonian Insti.
tuition. Furthermore, what makes the story
credible and adds to the Importance of tho ex-
pertinent is the fact that large sum of money
was given in 1891 by Thomas Hodgkins, of
Setaukef, to the Smithsonian Institution, to be
devoted q to the increase and diffusion of more
exact knowledge in regard to the nature and
properties Of atmospheric air in connection
with the welfare of man." If it is a property
of atmospheric air to be navigable by human
beings. there is no doubt that the welfare OF
man might be singularly promoted by all in
crease of knowledge in that direction.
1T was to be expected, therefore, that one Of
the first uses to which Professor Langley would
put the accommodating income Of the Hodgkins
fund wouid be to make as exhaustive test as
contemporary knowledge permits of the FEAST
5ility OF flying machines. The results of his
experiment will be awaited with interest He
has a great advantage over that other expert
menter. Mir. Keeley, in tina; he is not dependent
upon the support Of stock holders with hearts
TO be made sick by dividends long deferred.
