COLUMBUS TOOK A TUMBLE.
IL Was the Last Day of the California Fair
and He Was All Broke Up.

II Was the Last Day of the California Fair.
and He Was All Broke Up.
Truth crushed To- earth will rise
again, but there Is no such hope for tho
statue of Columbus at the fair. 1t lay
ON the ground in the grand court recent
" shattered TO q thousand pieces. Co
lumbus came off his perch about 10
o'clock III the forenoon, and as he was
large and portly he struck the ground
with a dull thud. His right leg chung
TO the pedestal, the indications being
that that limb had been pulled. the
fracture being committed ut the knee.
Columbus wore no whiskers at the eX-
position, but the wind was attracted 10
him nevertheless. 1t sought TO lift tho
long locks that hung over his shoulders,
and in this effort it tOppled their big
owner from his commanding elevation
i'll the valley of the court. People who
are affected by condolences did not fail
to comment on his passing way OH the
day that was practically the last of the
fair. He had seen the glories of thc
exposition come and go, and some
persons imagined that the memor;e<
he cherished overcame him a. If he
were an animate being. The knowledge
that the fair was over and that he was
to be taken away to some obscure and
strange place broke him all up, they
said. He had been ailing for several
DAYS. When it was evident by the in
clination of his head that he was unbal-
anced, measures were taken to keep him
from injuring himself, but he finally
broke from the ropes that restrained
him, and the fall of Caesar was nothing
in comparison TO his. The statue was
made of a sort of plaster and was part
" hollow, being devoid of lungs and
other internal organs. San Francisco

STUDYING HUMAN NATURE.
Novel and Valuable Scientific Work Now
Being Carried on In Washington.

Novel and Valuable Scientific Work Now
Being Carried on In Washington
4 new kind of scientific work Is be-
ing carried on in Washington, in which
the testing Of $4,000 school children
mentally, morally and physically is the
preliminary step. DR.. Arthur Mcdonald
l. conducting the work under the aus
pices Of the United States bureau Of ed
ucation, and the results when arranged
and tabulated are expected TO throw
valuable light upon number Of mooted
questions concerning the race.
For example, it Is desired TO know
whether boys of the labOring class are
less bright than the sons of the well TO
do. Are they a. well nourished? In
London not long ago investigation
proved that the children of labOring
people III that metropolis wtSe better
nourished-that i 10 say, weighed more
at the same age-than those belonging
TO higher social strata, the latter being
fed ON too much candy and cake.
The work here being unfinished, con-
illusions cannot be stated. To begin
with, the height and sitting height of
each child were taken. Long bodied
races, generally speaking, are inferior.
IL Is desired 10 know if long bodied
individuals are less clever or less strong
than the short bodied of the same race.
Are long bodied boys and girls apt to be
stupid: Long headed children are usu-
ally tall Tall people are most often
long headed. Tall races are superior.
The question naturally follows, Are long
headed children superior mentally:
When it Is said that a man has long
head, Is there not significance in the re-
mark?
Are tall children, then, superior? No
body knows as yet. These are among the
things which DR.. Mcdonald Is trying
TO find out. IN the classification the
5000 negro children III Washington
schools have been kept separate, so as to
compare them with white children.
How do they compare III respect to
brightness, weight, physical measure
ments, etc. The colored child surpasses
the white child up TO > years Of age in
mental development, then the white
child goes ahead. Comparisons of girls
with boys naturally follow. At the
age of entering wCmanhood girls weigh
more than boys. That age with city girls
arrives year earlier than with country
girls.-Boston Transcript.

Equipoise and Compromise Waists,
they combine three garments in one

so arranged that bones can be re-

Ladies who find it uncomfortable
to wear the ordinary Corset, and still
cannot do without some support will
find the Equipoise Waist the long

wear on the Volcano Trip.

THE manner in which they are
carrying on their part fthe Asiatic
war is thoroughly characteristic Of
the Chinese. They offer rewards
for the scalps Of Japanese soldiers,
graduated in amount according to
the rank of the Jap captured. They
will probably never rise abovetheir
barbarous and uncivilized condition
no matter what opportunities might
be offered them. 1t is their nature
to abhor civilization, and they
seem to delight in being as low
and despicable as it is possible fol
human beings to be. But the Jap.
anese are different, they being Q
race Of people possessing many
noble and admirable qualities
They have gone into the present

GOVERNOR PENNoYER has wired
the New York Herald his views Of
the situation as follows. "The
general business Of the country
will not be materially affected by
the new tariff. 1t, like the McKin-
ley law, is tax measure, and tax
alton does not enrich the general
public, although, to the extent that
both measures are protective, they
may enrich particular classes.
Tariff regulation may somewhat
disturb business, and should cease,
but no tariff measure can revive
universal prosperity. The present
industrial prostration is not due to
any tariff or tariff agitation, but to
the lack of sufficient money for the
full transaction Of the country's
business. Restore silver as stan
dard money and all our industries
will revive. The new tariff is .
great improvement over the Nc
Kinley law, and would have beer
greatly improved if it had given III
free sugar and free whisky"

PREsIDENT CLEVELAND in firm
veto message put damper on in
discriminate legislation for the
retirement of army officers, says
the Roseburg Review. A special
act was introduced to retire Captain
Wills on the pay list, and the
president reviews his unenyiable
military record and writes: ZAP
pointments to the army under
authority Of the present Legislation
which named the proposed appoin-
tees, and the purpose Of which is
the immediate retirement of the
appointee, are open to serious OBJ
iections, though / confess ! have
been persuaded through sympathy
and sentiment on number Of oc-
casions to approve Of such legisla-
tion. Vixen, however, it is pro-
posed to make the retirement COM
pulsory and without reference to
age OF previous examination, q
most Objectionable feature is intro
duced." The president very plain
IL says it is time to call halt.
He further says the numerous pre-
cedents and applications for such
bills Of relief, If worthy Of consid-
Grafton, should be provided for
under general or corporate pension
laws, leaving the retired list Of the
army to serve the purpose for
which it was established. The
president merits appreciation for
his prompt, decisive stand in this
matter.

IS SUICIDE A slN2

Colonel Robert G. Ingsrsoll con.
tributed an article to a late num-
ber Of the New York World, in
which he took the ground that
suicide is not q sin, but under
certain circumstances is justifable.
OF course, he handles the subject
in that plausible style for which
he is noted and fiavors it with the
spice Of poetry and pathos, so as to
make it a very readable article.
Colonel IngersolPs argument, if it
can be digni6ed with the name Of
argument, is that q person is fool
ish to endure the trials and suffer-
ing Of this world unless there is
compensating cheer from some
source. He sees no reason why a
person who has a competence and
home and friends, even though his
duties be onerous and his labors be
wearisome, should wish to antici-
pate the natural ending Of life.
But he thinks that a man or a
woman who is cast adrift in a great
city without work, without hope
and without friends, does q sensible
thing by speeding o bullet through
the brain, or by taking a dose Of
morphine. He cites other in
stances where he thinks suicide is
justifable, such as q person affiic-
with an incurable disease, or u
criminal who has wrecked his own
good name and has brought dis
grace on family and friends, or .
woman who has lost caste and is
being constantly repelled when she
tries to redeem herself. In all
these cases Colonel Ingersoll argues
that it is better and more humane
to terminate ones life than to pro
long the misery.

CAPTAIN w. R. BR1DsEMAN, Of
the United States army, who has
commanded the cruiser Baltimore
for the last two years, regards the
Oriental war as an unequal contest
with odds largely in favor Of Japan
which he says has a splendid navy
and an army as well organized as
that Of any European country.
Japan, be thinks, is sure to win
unless China is given time to make
war preparations on gigantic
scale. In his opinion the Japanese
government has been endeayoring
to force the war in order TO detract
attention from internal political
dissension.

A GENTLEMAN of high standing
standing in the county, and q hop
raiser, has made the suggestion
that it might be well in some hop
yards to give pickers half the crop
for picking. This way the grower
would not be compelled to borrow
money for picking purposes, which
is very hard to do when prices are
low, and at the same time the
pickers would be reasonably sure
of getting as good wages as they
can picking by the box at the rail-
ing price, and stand q chance Of
getting more, It is suggestion
which msny hop growers might do
well to consider. Eugene Regis

PULLMAN SUFFERERS.

The startling intelligence comes
over the wires that 5000 men, wo-
men and children in the notorious.
city Of Pullman, I'll, are starving,
and that there is no help in sight
for them. The governor of Illinois
has been corresponding with the
president Of the Pullman company,
intimating that they should gladly
help the distress in its own city.
The company has refused to do
anything. Public charities have
exhausted their supplies and the
authorities are doing their utmost
to help the starving. The state Of
Illinois has spent $4,000 and the
United States government a large
amount, in protecting this com
!
gany's property. 1t is true that
these suffering women and children
owe their misery to the fact that
their protectors Joined the strike
against Pullman. 1t is likewise
true there was no suffering in that
community before the strike. For
these reasons, the company con-
cludes that they are not in duty
bound to contribute money to the
families Of the men who did their
works. This may be abstract JUS
tice, but there is no mercy in it..
Men have a right to quit work, but
they have no right to damage the
property Of their employers. They
have right to strike, and thus
have their wages to stop, but they
have no right to expect their old
employers to support their families
when they have failedin that strike.
Their long and faithful services to
the company entitled them to kind
treatment by this company, but
this debt Of gratitude was more
than wiped out when these men
burned the company's property.
The men have no legal or moral
claim on the company now. How
ever, Pullman has the chance to
disprove the oft.quoted saying that
Corporations have no souls" by
making d handsome gift to help
these sufferers. The women and
children, the innocent sufferers Of
this great strike, deserve our sym
pathy and help, but the striker,
who sought to enforce his command
BY fire and murder, is not entitled
to sympathy or help. The men
who aided and abetted this strike
should be made to suffer the hun
ger they inflicted upon these help
less women and children.
