What was the house of representatives
about to defeat the amendment provid-
ing for the teaching of the English Ian
guage in the public schools of New Mex
leo in case of its admission to state
hood? The English language ought to be
taught not only in New Mexico, but in
the public schools of every state in this
Union. Everystate ought to make laws
to that effect. Indeed the matter is i'm
portant enough to call for the passage of
a national law. We do not want any
born citizens of this country growing to
manhood and womanhood unable to
read and understand the Declaration of
independence and the constitution of
the United States in English. More
than that, this ought to be required Of
every naturalized citizen. A man who
does not care enough about the right of
suffrage in this English speaking repub-
lie to learn English in order to get it
does not deserve it.

No Congratulations From Him.

Congratulations From Him.
When in the British house of COM
mons an address of congratulation was
voted on the birth of the York baby, an
unexampled scene occurred. James Kerr
Hardie, the labor leader, arose and said:
lowe allegiance to no hereditary ruler. The
motion proposes to raise to importance an
event of everyday occurrence. l shall be
pleased to join in the ordinary congratulations
if I meet the child's parents. But when the
house of commons, representing the nation. is
asked to join in congratulations, then, IN the
interest of the dignity of the house, protest.
1t is matter of small concern to me whether
the future ruler Of this country is a genuine
article or spurious one. The motion was
made because the child was born in the royal
family, and the house has right to ask what
particular blessing the royal family has con-
terred upon the nation.
There is the Prince of Wales! What special
blessing has he conferred upon the nation that
we should rejoice with him? know nothing
in the career of his royal highness which COM
mends itself especially to me. loud Interrupt
tions.
We are told that fierce light beats upon the
throne, but sometimes we catch glimpses of his
royal highnesS on the race course. Loud
"Oh's!" and cries Of "Question!']
This child will be surrounded by sycophants
and fatterers and will be taught TO believe
himself superior to creation. In due course OF
time he will tour the world, with rumors of
morganatic marriages in his train. [Vocifer-
Gus cries of dissent
AS the house has not found time to vote con-
dolence with the widow, orphans and others
who are suffering from the terrible colliery ca
amity in Wales, protest against the present
mummery.

"Who is Hogan?" is aquestion which
has troubled prison officers at the south

materially since Governor Altgeld. {

Ryan and Pritchard were arrested for
murder. They were quickly disposed Of
at the rate Of 48 years each in the peni-
Tertiary.
The prison officers soon recognized
Hogan s superior talents and placed
him where he could render valuable
service. He took deep and intelligent
interest in every duty assigned to him
and was very quiet, orderly and neat in
everyt thing he did. He never gave up a
word as to his parents, relatives or
home. He never wrote a letter, except
to his lawyer, or received one, but it is
confidently believed that Hogan is high

Said Warden Baker, speaking Of Ho-

does it If any piece Of copy is to be
written in copper plate hand, Hogan
does it in the most elegant manner. If
we require trial balance made, Hogan
makes it. He is filled with accurate in
formation upon all sorts of subjects and
makes all kinds Of calculations with
ease, yet he never volunteers to say q
word unless asked. He appears to be
contented and applies himself diligently
to his duties. He is one of the best pris-
oners we have"

Office the other day and was greeted by
a cordial handshake. eyes, am very
glad I am going OUT he said. Ihave

avoid it.-Chicago Correspondent.

Duel Regulations In Russia.

New regulations have just been issued
for the settlement of disputes between
Russian officers. They provide for the
appointment of court Of honor, con-
sisting of officers, which will determine
the question whether duel is unavoid-
able or not. Should the decision be in
the affirmative, any officer declining to
accept the challenge will be dismissed
from the service. A report upon duels
between officers is in future to be made
to the minister Of war, who, in concert
with the minister Of justice, may appeal
to the emperor to stop any legal pro-
oeedings resulting from the hostile en-
oounter.-London Public Opinion.

CullOm and Proctor.

There is brisk competition between
Senator Proctor Of Vermont and Senator
Cullom Of Illinois as to which of the two
looks the more like Lincoln. For years
the Illinois man has proudly claimed
the distinction of most resembling the
great martyred president of any one in
Washington, and there has been none to
dispute. But since Senator Proctor has
shaved off his flowing beard there are a
new set of Lincoln features in the SEN
ate chamber. The Vermont man is taller
and thinner than his Illinois rival, and
with his smooth face has a very marked
Lincoln look. SO much so that Cullom
is in danger of losing his laurels. A poll
of the senate may be necessary before
the question is solved. Washington

Mexico is evidently dreaming of be-
ing a commercial power on the sea. The
last Mexican congress, just before
adjournment, passed a number Of meas
ures looking to the establishment and
fostering of a merchant marine. By the
new laws either native or foreign built
vessels may register under the Mexican
flag. Foreigners may buy Mexican YES
sells just as citizens may, and bounties
are to be paid for shipbuilding. It will
be interesting to watch the effect Of
these encouraging laws in the next few
years.

A DUMMY ON TIE TRACK.
An Agony of Horror For the NIotorman,
but Fun For the Boys.

s-A'
but Fun For the Boys.
The street urchins who spend their
days round Eleventh and Twelfth streets
and Third avenue, Brooklyn, looking
for the mischief the father of all evil is
supposed to supply for idle hands to
do,'' have found new vacation amuse-
ment, and some of the motormen on the
Third avenue trolley line are on the
verge of nervous prostration.
The boys beg, borrow Or steal old
clothes until they have succeeded in get
ting together a very complete mans
outfit. The next thing is dummy, life
size, which is we'll dressed, even to hat
and shoes. A dozen or more cOnspira-
tors, escorting this semblance of q man,
stroll carelessly onto the track in front
of an advancing Car, talking busily.
The bell is rung loudly, the boys scat
ter, and the dummy falls across the
track. Then the jokers discover their
histrionic talent. They rush back, ap-
parently in terror, and make futile ef
forts to get the man out of danger.
In the meantime the motorman, who
is not the bloodthirsty wretch driving
the car Of Juggernaut that he is pop
ularly supposed to be, is in an agony of
horror. His hair fairly stands on end,
and the veins stand out on his forehead
as he uses all his muscle on the brake.
If he succeeds in stopping before the car
goes over the PROSTATE form, it is pulled
off the track and sent flying into the car
with wild shouts.
The feelings Of the unfortunate man
at the brake are too vehement for utter
ance when he discovers the trick. The
scheme is very successful just about
dark, and whichever way it goes it is
great fun for the boys.-New York
Times.

A German View Of Us,

The Berlin National Zeitung last
week published a curious leader on
American affairs. The writer's conclu.
sion was that the Anglo-Sax and Ger.
man races were losing their determin.
ing influence on the Unions affairs.
The influx Of Catholic Irish and Ital.
ians as well as other Latin elements, he
thought, would at no very distant date
lead to the crisis-feared now by some
American politicians - in which the
Onion would be divided into three re.
publios-one on the Pacific, another on
the Atlantic and the third on the gull
Of Mexico.

NERVE AND A SHARP KNIFE.
A Unprecedented and Exqulsitely Delicate
s&& SurRlcAl Operation.

A Unpreoodented and Exqulsitely Delicate
Surgical Operation.
For the first time ON record the sur
geon's sharp pointed knife has pene-
\ trated to the pancreas and saved mans
life. Tho operation was recently per-
formed at the Hahnemann hospital
Some great surgical work is performed
at this hospital. but there is strict un-
derstanding that operations shall not be
reported to tho lay world, and that the
name of the subject shall never be given
out. The subject this time was we'll
to do merchant, who paid the surgeon q
very large sum for his marvellous skill.
There was hard lump just below the
patients stomach. His stomach panied
him, and his digestion was not good.
The lump kept growing His doctor
made a cut in the abdomen and saw
chat the lump was beyond the reach OF
ordinary surgery. The merchant would
probably die.
One Of the surgeons at the Hahne-
mann hospital said he would like to
make another slit in the abdomen, be-
lieving he might succeed in removing
the lump. If he did, it might kill the
merchant just the same, but if some
thing was not done he would die any
way.
So the merchant took the last chance
A 6 inch slit was made, and the surgeon
deity ran his fingers down under the
stomach and found lump as large as
his fist attached to the pancreas The
in thickness and 2 inches broad. From
the fact that it digests all Of the fats
taken into the system the pancreas is
highly important organ of human be-
ing.
When the cut arteries had been
clamped and the physicians had sponged
away the blood and then realized the
enormous size Of the object clinging to
the pancreas like a toadstool to log,
they thought the case was hopeless. But
the operating surgeon still kept up his
nerve It is not the place of an operat-
ing surgeon to lose his nerve AS he
surveyed the situation he knew that if
he cut away even the slightest segment
Of the pancreas the merchant was done
for. Only by the very incest calculation
could the right cuts be made. He
sponged off the blood and went to work.
One and then another incision of the
blade, and the cyst, filled with its hor-
rible fetid matter, was removed, having
been Topped neatly off just where it was
joined to the pancreas.
In a few days the patient was on his
feet again and said he felt like new
man. And now the physicians are Won
dering how many men have died from
Jumps in their stomachs who might
have been saved and just how far the
surgeons knife may be effective again
in an operation on the pancreas. -New

have been stimulated by the recent
trials of the bullet proof cuirass to try q
few experiments on the subject. will
only mention one experiment, which l
made this morning, assisted by several
members of the Junior Scientific club
here. It occurred to me that, if the en-
ergy of the bullet could be made to act
at rather a large angle to its line OF
flight, its penetrating power would be
diminished.
To effect this arranged number Of
soft iron rods one-quarter inch in diam
eter and inches long side by side and
touching a piece of deal board. On these
another layer was placed, so that one Of
the upper rods touched two of the under
ones. A sheet of thin rubber six
teenth of all inch thick placed on this
separated it from similar combination
attached to it at right angles, and the
whole formed the target.
The rifle used was a winchester, %
bore, carrying a long bullet. At dis
lance of 20 feet the bullet penetrated
five inches Of hard pine with certainty,
but when the bullet, fired at the same
distance, hit my rod target it failed to
penetrate even the first layer, but only
drove the upper rods aside nearly at
right angles to the line Of flight. The
next experiments will be made with
heavier materials and larger shot. Pos
sibly a similar arrangement, but Of
large steel cylinders might make sat-
isfactory barrier to the shots of big
guns. IF. J. Smith in London Nature.
