srALAcTlrE CAVES.
TIC Most WonIerfal ia ths World Are
Located In Utah.


Located In Utah.
Two of the most wonderful stalac-
t;te caves in the world ara located
within the territory of Utah--one five
miles south of Toquerville and the
other twenty-five miles west Of st.
George. Neither is remarkable on
account of size, and to the best of my
knowledge the dignify;ng title of cay
ern" has never been bestowed on
either of the two. They simply come
within the category of wonderful be-
cause of the immense number of stall
actites, of various sizes and colors
which depend from their roofs. The
first, the one near Toquerville, is
known as LA Virgin, @ld the other
by the name of to- BLACK Warrior. !"
The Virgin was discovered few years
company, who was also engaged in
driving tunnel through a mountain
called LA Virgin Rcnch" for the pur-
pose of tapping the river beyond.
When the light was first let into this
wonderful undergrou 2d chamber the
effect is said to have been startling,
the roof and floor glittering with
cubes and points of crystal alum and
the roof studded with millions of rain
bov-colored stalactites.
The "Black Warrior cave is a coun-
terpart of the Virgin and was discov-
cred by miners at point where their
tunnel was 365 feet beneath the sur
face.

Jasper n. Mccoy, former resident
OF Pueblo, but now living in Phoenix,
Ariz.. has just perfected and patented
an irrigation pump which is said to be
90 superior to all that have been here
tofore manufactured that it is destined
at no very distant day to supersede all
others. This pump is very simple in
construction, but brings into play an
entirely new idea. making it doubly sf-
fective. Mr.. Mccoy will before long
establish a factory to make these
pumps to supply the whole western
country from Kansas to California,
from Canada to Mexico. No better
location for such factory could be
found in all this vast territory than
Pueblo. By prompt and proper action
this factory could be secured. The
board of trade ought to look after it.

AN INTERESTING POINT
Raised in an EdmundS Act
Case.
The Condemnatory Testimony of {
Witness at a Previous Trial
Is Barred Out.

A point was raised in an examina-
ton before Commissioner Kellum yes
terday afternoon of an Edmunds act
case which occasioned great deal OF
legal surprise. The casa was that of O.
W. Williams, arrested a week ago at
the instance of a French mac, whose
ill will he had incurred. The animus
of the prosecuting witness had been
exposed to such an extent that it be-
came apparent that the basis of the
prosecution was spite work. Still, how
ever, much testimony had been intro.
duced by INSCRIPTIONS witnesses of the
government which remained to be con-
troverted.
The woman in the case was
Blanche Remand, whose relation to the
defendant is somewhat similar to that
of a correspondent in divorce pro.
ceeding, and before the guilt of the
defendant as charged could be estab-
lished it was necessary to chow that
the woman was married. There was
no direct testimony on this point. In
fact. the usual testimony of common
repute usually obtainable in establish
ing the fact of the marriage relation
between parties was absent. The
prosecution was obliged to rely solely
upon certain sworn evidence of hers in
a former trial before ex- Commissioner
Early, in which it appeared that her
husband at that time was one Or.
Renaud This fact was brought out
with a great deal of trouble when
Judge Israel, for the defendant, brought
this part of the examination up with a
short turn by reference to the follow
ing, Sec. $50, Chap. II, R. S., United
States: ''No pleading of a party nor
any discovery or evidence obtained
from party or witness by means of a
judicial proceeding in this or any fer
eign country shall be given as evidence
or in any manner used against him or
his property or estate in any court OF
the United States in any criminal pro-
ceeding or for the enforcement of any
penalty or forfeiture"
This prohibition of such evidence as
the prosecution relied upon was al
fected only by the following provision
which in this case can have no bearing
upon the fate of the defendant: PRO
vided that this section shall not exempt
any party or witness from prosecution
or punishment for perjury committed
in discovering or testifying as afore,
said"
Upon the introduction of this point
the examination was adjourned until
this morning.

MEETINGS TO Be SECRET
Senate Investigation Committee Will
Sit Behind Closed Doors.
A BRIEF SESSION YESTERDAY
Bribery Charges TO Be Taken Up First-wit-
nesses Already Summoned for the First
Hearing on Monday-frecedents Concern
ing discriminating Testimony.

The Senate investigating committee met
yesterday noon. and after lengthy confer
ence it was decided 10 hold the session behind
closed doors. The reason for this is that to
conduct a fair and at the same searching in
quiry, it may be necessary to ask some close
questions, which might inferentially reflect
upon Senators and convey false impression.
The chairman of the committee, Senator
Gray, will be authorized to give out the facts
ascertained at the session of the committee.
Another reason for reaching this conclusion
is found in the probability that many clews as
to other testimony may be obtained from those
who may be testifying. and it is feared that
the publication of these facts would defeat
the ends of justice.
The determination of members Of the COM
mittee to leave the whole question OF what
they do and what to make public to Senator
Gray is so strong that none OK them will
talk. 1t was suggested that many newspa-
pers and the public might take the secret in
vestigation to mean a whitewash. THAT
shows the poor Judgment of the newspapers"
remarked member of the committee. 1T
may be 7of-the utmost importance to keep
secret certain disclosures OF witnesses and 1t
is sometimes of transcendent Importance that
the witnesses have no idea OF what testimony
has been previously given and have no op-
portunity to prepare a story in refutation."
1t is the intention of the committee to have
a complete stenographic report Of the testi-
mony made, which will be published when it
is completed.
The first matter to be taken up will be the
alleged attempt to bribe Senators Kyle and
ha frst
are Mr.. Hunton's son. Mr.. Kyle's secretary,
Mr.. McFarlane. and the alleged briber. c. W.
Duttz. The sugar trust part Of the investiga-
ton will be taken up later.

AN AUSTRALIAN SWIMMER.

He Il Marvellous, and He Is Coming Here
TO Give Us Pointers.
They have Just found a swimmer in Aus
tralis who has aroused the interest OF all
sportsmen who make swimming something
more than pastime in this country. Nobody
seems to know exactly how the new man,
Gormly, swims, though the Australian papers
which are ut hand devote columns OF descrip-
ton to his style, having got to the point OF
illustrating his method. Even the experts in
this country are unable to fathom the peculi-
arities OF his stroke, which has reduced all
the notable swimmers In Australia and New
Zealand TO despair. 1t should be said, by the
way. that the swimmers OF that part Of the
world are men Of extraordinary swiftness,
endurance and power. Gormly does not pre-
tend to train for his races, but makes it point
to spend six or eight hours every day In the
water.
His stroke is now being copied by a number
Of professional and amateur swimmers OF the
antipodes. He swims, according to the de-
scription, with his right arm perfectly
straight-that is, it makes long, low sweep
from the shoulders downward and backward
ss he lies on his right side. But the real
stroke which sends him through the water at
a rate which amazes his competitors is what
is described as the "corkscrew motion OF the
leIt leg. WHICH IS uraWn up anu out Vi tno
water. SO as to be almost completely in view,
and Is then pushed under the water and
thrust backward with a corkscrew motion,
which sends the body along at n remarkable
rate OF speed This is the most succinct ex-
PLANTATION which has yet been given Of CORN
Iy's method of swimming. He is coming
over here next Summer, so when the camera
fiends get at him the public will know all
about the "corkscrew motion" which he uses.

bitter reflection upon the frog, which has

one who had ever heard the great tragedian's

recognize the master voice in this phono-

like a stain OF ineifaceable blood in rich fat

And when the impassioned utterances break

real that the listener inyoiuntariiy drops his

what mocking fiend is at his elbow. the effect
becomes indescriba5le in its intensity. l hope
it may never chance to any one who reads

A Fighting Mustang.

A mustang owned by A. Milestone, of No.
eos Columbus avenue, escaped from his stable
yesterday afternoon, and entering Central
park, Galloped up and down the west drive at
terrific gait, says the New York Herald.
Mounted Policeman Lafkey pursued the run
away animal. The mustang had a halter
over its head and Lafkey succeeded in over
taking it and grabbed at the bride. The ami
nal jerked away. broke the bride, and sped
away again. Lafkey kept up the pursuit,
however, and finally drove him into the Clare
mont stables in the park. Once fairly cor
pered the mustang bit and kicked and resisted
10 his utmost. 1t kicked the policeman three
times in the abdomen and tore portions Of his
Uniform to pieces with his teeth In the
struggles. Lafkey finally got the bride over
his head and returned him to his owner. Laf-
keys injuries are painful, but not serious.

A Pointer for ChoIIy.

''If the men cnly realize how much women
appreciate well-groomed man they would
not be so careless of their appearance" said
the girl with the short upper lip. "A man
dearly loves frills and ribbons. but not half as
much as he admires tailor-made gowns, shirt
fronts. immaculate linen, and natty patent
leather shoes. And the tailor-made girl knows
it. But even the same creature who revelsin tea
gowns, and scorns gentlemanly girls, loves a
well-groomed man. 1t is the secret OF the
dudes social success. His shining linen
makes up for language his polished boots for
brains, his taste in clothes for character.
Brainy. shabby men are bores. Even the women
who want the ballot love outside show, and a
manieured Adonis. with a pink shirt and
black satin tie, would prejudice their vote
where nothing else would. New York

from New Zealand.
This will make the third convention Of the
league, the previous ones having been held in
Denver, Colo. and Ogden, Utah. Mr.. A. G.
Fiske, OF Denver, is the president, and TO
him principally is due the existence of the
league, he having made trip through the
southern countries in aid of its organiza-

What the league is striving for is to lay the
foundation for the adoption of silver dollar
that will pass current between the United

countries, which, it is argued, will result in
stimulating trade relations between them.
