PETER. Friends,

W~Asu1NaroN, April 1~9.-Senator PETER
stirred up quite a hornets nest in the
Senate to-day by calling up his resolution
for the appointment of a committee on
communications to receive the petitions of
Co1ey's army. He explained the object
of the resolution rs being a preparation
for the proper reception Of this body of
men, and to give them every facility to
present their grievances to Congress.
The Senate, regarded by many rs the
American House of Lords, would have NO
opportunity to show that it was not out
of touch with the people bv appointing
this committee. The resolution was fur
Their debated by Senators PETER and Allen,
both Of whom favored it, but it went over
without action.

Commonwealth Badly Used.

Cotton, Cal, April 1.-THE second Los
Angeles regiment of the unemployed is
meeting with anything but encouragement
in San Bernardino. First the fire depart
ment was called out md the commanders
we're drenched with cold water and driven
from the freight train they had captured.
Then the army was placed under guard by
so deputy sheriffs armed with shotgune
and its leaders were thrown into the county
Jail. Then a boycott was declared on the
army. The command raised a fund of
81 ana purchased bread, but the baker
who sold it was waited upon by the citi-
zens committee of safety and made to
promise that he would sell no more sup
plies to the army or its leaders. The mer-
chants have refused to sell to the army,
and many of the citizens have agreed not
to give any food or supplies to them.
The sheriff and his deputies promise to
prevent the men from se,zing a train, and
declare they must walk out. It appears
to be a case of freezeout.

Mother and Twins CTematei.

Recently Mohave squaw III California
gave birth to twins. For a woman to
bear twins is, in the eyes of the Mohaves,
a sure indication that the mother is the
consort of evil spirits and is a witch.
There is but one penalty-death for
mother and children. The portion of
the tribe of which the mother was a
member was summoned, and it was de-
cided to enforce the custom. The pa
pooses were braAned, but the mother was
doomed to a more horrible fate
Everything belonging to her was col,
lected and placed in the ''shack" with
her. the door closed up and fire applied

ism she would not cry out and died with
out murmur, and her soul passed to
the happy hunting grounds, where her
newborn babes had preceded her. In
two hours naught was left Of the struc-
ture but smoldering embers. All this
occurred in less than half mile of The
Needles.-Needles Eye.

ITALY'S ENORMOUS TAXES.
The Financial Load the People Carry Is
Fearful TO Contemnlate.

Fearful to Contemplate.
George Rutledge Gibson. writing from
Naples, gives some interesting informa-
tion regarding the financial condition of
Italy. The fate of Italy hangs in the
balance" he says. People here realize
that the situation is desperate. and they
pin their hopes. if not their faith. to
Crispi, the new premier. But too much
is expected Of him. and war or a revo-
luton may result from the discomfort
which exists. but which is for the mo-
ment subordinated TO the vain hope that
Crispi can perform some financial leger-
demain that will change the balance
sheet.
The taxes are something fearful TO
contemplate. In writing you IS months
ago from Venice / related some amazing
examples of taxation there. Imav add
now that the farmers pay 10 the state an
annual tax equal TO - per cent of their
estimated incomes. The standing army
here represents , per cent of the entire
population, while in Germany it is only
l per cent. Germany has $4,000. 900 of
population and Italy $4,000. 900. The war
footing. the number of men who NAV be
called out in Italy, is 400. 900 more than
in Germany. 1t looks to me as if this
army would either have TO fight or dis
band pretty soon. st. Louis Globe

Notebooks Not Allowed.

"He was the best surveyor and drafts
man III my employ" said a we'll known
civil engineer. referring TO a man whom
he had just discharged. Il discovered a
short time ago that he was keeping a
private notebook. and after notifying
him that he must stopit and again learn
ing that he was continuing the practice
was obliged to discharge him.
"A surveyor" said he. In doing a
piece of work makes minutes as he goes
along of the lines he runs. of the various
points marking the bounds of the lands
he is surveying and all such data as is
not only necessary for the drawing of
his plans, but also incidentally that
which may aid him in the case of any
other survey being made later on.
This data, you see, really constitutes
a sort of capital or stock in trade. for if
the party owning the land ever wishes
another survey of it for any purpose he
will naturally apply TO that same sur
veyOr, who. having these old memoran-
da, can do the work easier and more
cheaply than any other surveyor. Often
times, after many years have elapsed
and old landmarks have passed away,
those minutes become very valuable.
Consequently a civil engineer always
wishes to keep these in his own hands,
and men in his employ are not allowed
to make copies of minutes of surveys
which they make while in his employ
Otherwise an old employee, in leaving
and setting up in business for himself,
could carry away large slice of his en-
ployer's business. New York Herald.

An Atlantic City correspondent of the
Philadelphia Times says that j. P. Her
atty, young Philadelphian stopping at
the Mansion House, had an exciting ad-
venture which but for the opportunear-
rival of assistance might have resulted
In his death. Heraty was driving a pair
of spirited horses alCng the beach from
South Atlantic City when the animals
plunged into quicksand. Heraty held
the lines and was pulled from the car
riage. He was kicked several times by
the foundering horses and was lying I'M
conscious, with the waves washing over
him, when several laborers who wit
messed the accident came to his aid. The
horses were buried breast deep in the
sand and were taken out with much diff
ficulty.

Five Cent Lodging Houses Where Chairs
Take the Place of Beds.


Finding Il lodging place for the night
when one has but cents-an ordinary
street car fare nickel-is 10 easy job.
Lodging housr. where the beds rent for
10 cents hold as griInly 10 tariff prices
as a coal combine IN arctic weather
would do. 1t is a case of fat money
with those people. If they had 500 beds
and but five dodgers, the sixth could not
get an abatement, even though his flesh
were dropping from lis bones with
frost No pay, no bed, IS the motto,
and they stick TO it.
Nowadays dimes are being with
drawn from circulation. At least the
people who are forced into begging
them report that to be the state of the
money market. Two nickles make a
dime, it is true, and so do 10 pennies,
but there seems to be bear movement
in small coins. and this form OF cur
rency also is hard TO get, especially so
for those who either can't. don't or
won t work for it.
As matter of fact there are many
hundred persons in Chicago every night
who cannot purchase lodging for lack
of means and who stay ont so late that
access to the station houses is denied
because they are already OverCTowded.
These people Will then sleep anywhere.
All they want is cover from the night.
That can be had III Chicago for )

tune favored him with dime, would

such a place. There are one or two
places of the kind in Chicago. and they
are hard 10 find When found. they are
the very apotheosis of degradation, dirt
and dinginess. Beside the cent places
those where admittance is a dime are
palaces. For cents the lodger is al
lowed the privilege Of chair until
morning - simply that and nothing
more.
The keepers of such places form the
lowest elements of society. They do
not treat their patrons as humans, nor
yet as beasts of the field. The cent
wretch becomes an object for blows and
kicks. When his nickel enters the greasy
pocket that gapes for it, he is then an
atom or SqualOr, and he Is treated &C
cordingly.
Recently the Atlas hotel was visited.
1t is probably the worst lodging house
in Chicago. The prices begin at cents
and run to Is cents. 1t is located on
Custom House place a few yards from
Van Buren, street. On one side of it is
a stable. There the horses get clean
straw every night for bedding. On the
other side is deserted church, which
has been purchased and which will be
shortly converted into another lodging
house Amid such surroundings the
poor fellow who has but nickel is al
lowed to stay over night. He can sit on
three legged chair, or he can lie down
on the floor. In either event he is forced
to sleep with another man half cover
ing him, fer every night the filthy Gel
lar is crowded. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Universal Hard Times Said to Ife Unset
tling the Market For the SparkIers.
1t will not be surprising if the univer-
sal hard times cause great crash in the
diamond market. 1t is well known that
the great syndicate which has controlled
the price Of precious stones in the past
few years finds the enormously increased
production. com 5ined with the steadily
shrinking market, very difficult condi-
ton so deal with.
Cecil Rhodes. the tirtual king of South
Africa. told the stockholders of thA con-
solidated De Beers mines at Cape Town.
on Thursday, that the cause OF the pres
ent depression in the diamond trade was
to be found in America, which took one
third of the worlds production. These
mines have long been the greatest pro-
ducers. but one of the two other South
African companies has recently much in
creased its output in spite of the control
exercised by the syndicate. 1t is now DOS
sible TO obtain small diamonds in London
at astonishingly low figures. No cutting
of prices has Yet been made by REPUTABLE

ply of small stones is so enormous that
those who know the ropes can buy them

SURE ANTIDOTE FOR MORPHINE.
One of the Most Wonderful Discoveries of

One of the Most Wonderful Discoveries of
Modern Times Is Proved.
DR.. William Moor, specialist on ther-
apeutics, who lis a member of the staff
of the West Side German clinic, in West
Forty-second street, has discovered that
permanganate of potassium is an anti
dote for morphine poisoning, and that it
will counteract within reasonable lapse
of time the effects of any of the salts of
opium.
DR.. Moor, in the presence of - mem
bers of the clinic who assembled on Jan.
8, swallowed what is ordinarily fatal
dose of morphine.
His fellow physicians attempted to dis
suade him. Some of them left the room,
declaring that they would not counte-
nance such madness by their presence.
But DR.. Moor persisted in committing
suicide" with the utmost cheerfulness
He thereupon swallowed three grains of
morphine in two teaspoonfuls OF water
and Immediately afterward drank So
luton of four grains permanganate Of
potassium in four ounces of water.
Deadly languor and death must have
followed ordinarily, for DR.. Moor swal-
lowed three grains of the drug, posi-
lively fatal dose in his case, as he is su-
persensitive to the effect of narcotics
But the permanganate of potassium did

STEAM HOLES IN A FIELD.
A Queer Phenomenon of Nature Which Is
to BE Seen on n Farm Ont In OREGON

A Queer Phenomenon of Nature Which Is
to BE Seen on Farm Out In Oregon.
On the farm of S. r. T. Jones, about
three-fourths Of a mile south of Hub
bard and only few rods from the stage
road is a curiosity which at present is
attracting considerable attention. 1t has
been noticed for the past 10 years, but
never has aroused such interest as in the
past few months. On space Of, say.
20 feet square, appears this what is it.
1t can be seen just after rain or while
the ground is filled or covered with wa
ter. There are numerous holes about as
large as common lead or slate pencils,
from which gas or air is constantly eS-
Gaping with a sound as of meat frying
or the kissing of water on hot stove or
iron. Sometimes the pressure may be
stronger than at others, but it is there
just the same.
The pressure is so great that if these
vents are closed they will in few min
utes send the mud flying as though a
miniature blast had exploded. \ large,
heavy iron pan was inverted over some
of the strongest vents, the rim being
buried in mud, preventing any escape Of
gas. A man then sat down on the pan
and awaited results, which were not
long in coming. as the pan and man We're
lifted bodily. The gas or air was forced
through limewater, but no change was
noticed. 1t was tested by fire, but we
cannot sayit burned. One popularity of
the soil is that no matter how wet the
surrounding ground may be this spot
plows up hard and dry. Awell close by
keeps up a constant Kissing, and the wa
ter reveals nothing out of common

A NATURAL SODA FOUNTAIN.
Kentucky Farmer Strikes Plain Soda
Geyser While Digging Post Holes.

A Il kentucky Farmer Strikes a Plain Soda
Geyser While Digging Post Holes.
A wonderful discovery has been made
on the farm of Mr.. Anderson Miller,
who lives about nine miles southeast of
BarbOursville, XIV. While digging post
hole in the ground Mr.. Miller had gone
down probably four or five feet when he
struck what appeared to be Il very hard
substance, and he pounded away a time
or two on it, when he was suddenly
startled by rumbling and laundering
sounds and kissing of gases, or whatap-
peared to be steam, and his digging tool
was lifted clean out of the hole and
thrown several feet, and volume of
boiling and kissing water shot forth 80
feet high. Mr.. Miller made a run for his
life, as he thought the water was billing
lot," as he expressed it.
After getting over his excitement he re-
turned to the scene and looked upon some
thing wOnderful-a steam of water near
ly six inches wide and as clear as crystal
shooting its way upward fully $50 feet
and forming a crystal arch beautiful in
the sunlight, something like the geyser
''Old Faithful in the great Yellowstone
park. Miller stood still and watched this
phenomenon for about 30 minutes. Then
of a sudden, as if done by some mysteri-
Gus hand, this great fountain of water
was shut off. The appearance in and
around the place was entirely changed.
After pause of about 80 minutes again
came forth the mighty volume of water
as before. Mr.. Miller, thinking he had
enjoyed enough of this grand sigft by
himself started off in haste to cal: his
neighbors, that they might also see the
wonderful thing. Word was brought in
to town, and a party Immediately left to
view the sight. The water appears to be
heavily charged with carbonic acid gas
and is pleasant to the taste.-Cincinnati

he took were not from human beings,
but from the staff figures along the
Transportation building. William is of a

contemplated writing a book on the big
