Stubble Fires Do Damage.

Iowa FALLS, Ia, Oct. 1O.-A fire set
to burn stubble field just south of
Goldfeld got beyond control and proved
to be a serious matter. Over 200 tons
of hay in the stack were consumed, and
a number of farmhouses and other
buildings were only saved by hard
work of the neighborhood. The fire
broke out the second day and was only
subdued by a shower that prevented
further danger.

That is, a Tramps' Paradise, Which Is
 ID fife ent From the Conventional.
 From the Cincinnati EnGuirer.]
 Southern California is the tramp's paradise in summer. and in winter tie Mojave Desert is his Eden. This latter may seem paradoxical, but it is one of the strangest features in this odd cor ner of a strange country. During the summer months the tramps bask along the shady streams near the cities and towns, to which they make daily in- cursions in quest of cold victuals. They camp in the undergrowth in tho sub urbs of towns which have Indian popu- lations, or near the rancheria of Indian fruit-pickers, and supply thes noble red man with whisky. It is unlawful to sell whiskey to an Indian, and the tramp acts as go-between. He takes the confiding braves half dollar, re- turns with a twenty-five cent bottle of lAC lul pClAlllc VdI1Slyp hAu POSnoSS IAS other twenty-five cents. He then as- sists in making the whiskey disappear, This is one of the tramp's sources of revenue which those in the east do not enjoy. In warm climate the system does not require much food, so he gets along easily in summer or winter,as the winters here are very mild. He sleeps
 upon the ground without covering the year round. When 1t rains he seeks g hedge or friendly barn. @ During the cold months they drift down from the north in gangs, and make for the Mojave Desert A desert it would seem, is about the last place in the world where human being would seek livelihood. but it is the tramps' paradise. The railroad town of Mojave is their headquarters. They camp along the edges Of the desert and in the gorges that deboilch into tht sandy waste cr amid the little oasel that are found sheltered by Dosna of ths

THE CUKEEW HE'LL.

Curfew will ring tonight. as 1t does every night, In some of the cities and towns of Canada, and the Quebec legis- lature is to be asked to pass law providing that municipal councils in cities, towns and incorporated villages shall have power to pass bylaws for the regulation of the time after which children shall not be in the streets after nishtfall without proper guardianship, and the age and apparent age of boys and girls respectively under which they shall be required to be at their homes at the appointed hour, and such muni- cipal councils shall in such case cause bell or bells to be rung at or near the time appointed as warning, to be called the curfew bel, l,after which the children so required to be in their homes or off the streets shall not be upon the public streets except under proper control or guardianship or for some unavoidable cause. It Is further provided that any child so found after the time appointed shall be liable to be warned by any constable or police officer to go home; and if, after such warning, the child shall be found lott ering on the streets such child may be be taken by such constable to its home. Any parent or guardian may be sum- moned for permitting his child to hab- itually break said bylaw after having been warned in writing, and may be fined for the first offence $1, without costs, and for the second offence $2, and for the third or any subsequent offence $5 with costs.
 This is an interesting move, and it has the backing of the Society for the Protection of Women and Children. It is an effort to do something that needs doing. And the need is as great in the United States as in Canada. A curfew bell might not be a bad thing right here in New Haven.

MAKE GOOD NOMINATIONS.

Those who make the nominations for city and town officers this fall will do we'll to bear one thing in mind. and that is that the people are not in any mood to be bossed or fooled. They have their thinking caps on and not few of them have their tomahawks handy. The way to win is to make good nominations and not try to distribute the offices solely or chiefly as rewards for efficiency in political work. The people of New Ha- ven want a change in several depart ments of the local government. They will vote for good men to make the change with, and those who give them the opportunity to do so will show an accurate understanding of the situa- ton.

huge. black rocks. or in extinct volca- nos. This great desert has miles upon miles of lava flows. mud springs, whose depths have never been fathomed. and transverse canons extending Into the sandy waste for miles. Here the tramp finds Q resting place and perhaps re- mains for the winter The question naturally arises why he seeks the des- ert, where he can see nothing and with no particular object in view. In follow ing the railroad he has had taste of desert life. There seems to be fasci- nation about Q desert. and when one has lived even for a short time asid one he invariably returns to the no- madic life. The tramp trudges along the hot sands, which the night air does not cool, and when the morning sun be- gins to make things hot enough for anybody he lies down beneath the shade of a rock or cactus. whose boughs protect him as Q shield.
 Excepting horned toads and rattle snakes the tramp is the only thing that can live in some portions Of the desert. By day he sleeps and dreams of houses, towns, rivers whose banks are lined with green foliage, and of castles in the air. In his desolate march he Is surprised at seeing mir age depicting water in land where there is no water. After few days rest at one of the mining camps on the desert he Is of to the next camp. He has no particular object in going, he does not expect to see any one In par ticular, and is not going to any place in particular, but keeps moving from the force of habit; whether It Is wise or otherwise he does not know. If he falls by the wayside his remains are covered by the drifting sands, his only shroud. The rarified air is so devoid Of mois- ture that the corpse in many Instances becomes a real mummy. Should CO., votes and jackals stray far enough into the desert and find the remains they would leave the poisoned body severely alone. The atmosphere becomes 30 heavily charged with mineral and oth- CT poisonous substances that the nesn is soon impregnated.
 Along the edge Of the desert all oc- casional Indian wigwam Is found. The Indians do not venture far out, only to some canon or oasis where they may hide the horses they have stolen from civilization. The desert Indians, as they are called, are excellent trackers and trailers. and are utilized in track ing lost mining prospectors. The h. dans live on acorns, herbs, heavily seeded grasses, wild game, including the festive jack rabbit, which they up- set at long range with the boomerang. Sheep and goats stray from the ranches and the Indians and tramps seem to think they are legitimate game. The tramp finds an asylum at the wigwam of the desert Indian-there is an aftini- ty between them-a hatred of cililiza- ton,

 An absent minded person can spread chaos all around. but when two absent minded persons try to work together may heaven help the poor creatures upon whom the consequences fall. A prominent lawyer from an inland city met in London q distinguished British author, whom he invited to visit him during a tour of America, already planned. The lawyer came back home. and shortly forgot all about his British friend and his invitation, but was re- minded of both, in good time, by a let ter announcing the date of the celebrat- ed Britons arrival. This. too, he forgot in a few minutes, and when the ap- pointed day came 1t found him living in shut-up house, getting his meals where he could, while his wife made an extended round of visits among her relatives. When the distinguished wis., itor drove up to the house on sse eve ming of the day set in his letteNhe met single servant who explained that the master was at a club meeting, over two miles away. and would be back about midnight

--------- CHANGE RLE .TERnRg

The settlement of the celebrated Por- ter-Sabin case in Chicago prevented any judicial determination of the e:- feet on a sealed verdict of a repudia- tion of it by one or more jurors. The matter is a decidedly interesting one The Porter-Sabin case is the one in which a juryman who had signed a sealed verdict at night recanted when the jury was called in the morning and the verdict was opened and read. He declared when the jury was boiled that, though it had been his verdict the night before, it Was not at that time. as he had changed his mind On giving in the sealed verdict the jury had separated and gone to their diff. ferent homes. The case was without a precedent so far as known in Illinois. IL puzzled the lawyers and judges. There Is no statute in Illinois on the subject of sealed verdicts, the system being based on usage only Iowa has law providing for rendering seal ed verdicts and regulating the custom There verdict under seal Is final, and no juryman can withdraw his namc when it is opened in court, It was held in the Porter-Sabin case that the re- canting juror in trifling with his yer dict had committed a contempt of court. But there were wide differences of opinion as to whether the verdict un- der seal which the juror had repudi- ated in open court was valid. A week or two after there was a similar oc- currence in the circuit court of Cook county. Two jurors recalled their sig natures to a sealed verdict. They were imprisoned" for contempt of court, but were held only a day or two.
 Of course the custom of allowing sealed verdicts is only for the con- venience and comfort of the jurors.
 
 When a jury, at the adjournment of court for the day, is instructed to seal up their verdict, If they agree, and give it to the clerk of the court, they are permitted to separate and go home on delivering the verdict under seal to the clerk. But it is evident ! that if Illinois jurors are not to be bound by the verdict under seal some. thing will have to be done. There will be no confidence in the integrity of verdicts in Illinois if jurors are per. mitted to separate, after an agree. ment at night, and to repudiate 1t in the morning.
