Sequel to the riots in the Ceur d.
Alene mines year ago last spring
is found judgment IN an Idaho
court for $ll, 500 damages, given
against the Helena and Frisco mining
companies and in favor of Chas. j.
Patterson. Patterson was a non
union employee. He was hired about
week before the mill was blown up
and claimed that he knew nothing
about the danger. While in bed in
the new mill rifle ball cut his ear
Off, and when he escaped from the
mill he was severely beaten. There
are over 100 damage suits of this
character, but it was impossible to try
them at this term of court. The
mining and milling companies have
sued Shoshone county for damages to
their property which is an exceeding
large sum and may rea ch a half mill
ion dollars, and they will al so endea-
vor to collect all damage they sustain
by lawsuits because the county did not
protect their property Idaho Demo

ana cheap common lacquers are manufac-
tured for their benefit.
The foreign legations. OF prisons. as
they may almost be called are as a rule so
tastetuliy furnished and arranged as to
make them at least gilded cages. Some of
the buildings have been expressly con-
structed by the different governments.
While others are Chinese palaces. The
English legation, which belongs to the lat
Ter class. although according to foreign
notions not altogether convenient, is 6eau-
utul both without and within; the deco
ration OF the dining and drawing rooms
being especially fine In summer the dfplo-
mats and their families migrate to a
picturesque group of temples some forty
miles or so distant from the city, where
they live in rather picnic fashion The
priests, who often continue to occupy and
DO Joss pidgin" in reserved parts of these
edinces, are very glad TO get the foreign
gold, but complain that their domain is
permeated by a most disagreeable odor. a
plant which to any one acquainted with
lie bouquet de la Chine seems ridiculous
enough.
The climate of Pekin is one Of extremes.
The winters are bitterly cold while the
summers, although not as long are far hot
ter than those of Hong Kong, which lies
within the tropics. The atmosphere is so
luminous and clear that every object
stands out against it with a singular dis
tinctness. The city glows with color and
there is so much that is beautiful to be
seen that one almost forgets the horrors.
But they are there. and IL is the sincere
hope Of the writer that the little Japs
may ere long march to the capital and
teach the government a useful lesson of
which 1t stands greatly in need.

II is very hard indeed, Mr.. Western
fires both his pistols so close together
that II sounds as If but one shot was fred.
He acknowledges that this was one Of the
most difficult accomplishments for him to
master.
A decided novelty was called monogram
shooting, and this is certainly a very
startling performance, to say the least
large sheet Of paper Is put on a light
frame and this Is placed about half an
inch in front OF the target. Anyone IN
the audience may then request that his
initials or monogram be shot on the
papers and 1t was done in less time than
IT is told. The shooter picks up a very
light repeating parlor rife and proceeds to
shoot the paper full Of holes. arrang-
ing them so as TO form the initials Of the
monogram desired. He Is not content with
shooting initials alone, but will put ia the
whole name in script or In Roman type
should 1t be requested. The man who
has his monogram or name shot in this
peculiar way generally buys It at good
price, as II makes a most unique me-
mento. This rife expert says that he
will be able to shoot the outline OF a
mans profile after he has had some prac-
tice, and Judging from the skill he al
ready possesses 1t does not seem i'm
probable.

one agreeable thing at these shooting

new kind Of powder is used, which Is the.
invention Of a Frenchman and especially
adapted for this purpose. Mr.. Violet is
an ideal target shot. His great feat con-
sisted of putting six consecutive bullets

only three-eighths Of an inch in diameter.

HOW TO BE A SUFI.
Mohammed Webb Fully Explains the
Process.
From the Chicago Times.

From the Chicago Times.
Mohammed Webb. the apostle of Islam
in America, is in Chicago at 50 Lincoln
avenue, where he is preparing the series
of lectures which is to be delivered in the
rooms of the Theosophical Society in the
Athaneum. Mr.. Webb is a Moslem by
choice and appearance. He has a black
beard that one could imagine a paynim
swearing by, clear black eyes. and
healthy but pallid complexion. He dresses
much like ordinary Christians, and has a
prosperous, well-nourished effect that is
very gratifying to observe. The time was
when Mohammed Webb was a newspaper
man in st. Louis and It was there he
began to evolve from spiritualism through
theosophy into sufsm. and he is now
suh, which is generally conceded TO be a
much more satisfactory condition Of things
than being mere yogi, although being
a yogi has points about it that appeal to
all theosophists.
II have told the story before" Mr.
Webb said, but ] can sketch it for you
quickly. ] am a Mussulman by profound
conviction, and l am student of sufsm,
which is the very highest form of spirit
ual cultivation in the world. had studied

to me from the first, and / accepted it,
/ am not here to preach it or to convert
men to it. ! am here to tell the truth
about Muhammed's teachings, and to cor
rect the mistakes that people make about
the religion"
What is a suh?"
"a suf is an ascetic who has arrived at
the great illumination, or who is working
toward IT, The Hindoo yogi is working in
the same direction, and often comes to
nearly similar results, as any man can in
any creed who will so train his mind that
he can become master of it. The process
ses both of the yogi and the suh are very
similar. The end is to reach complete con-
troll of the mind so that one can govern It,
and this is done by intense meditation
along certain lines that have already been
well MAPPED out. The process is interest
ing. You must first concentrate all your
consciousness upon the spot at the very
apex of your head, and hold your attention

DO Flying Fish Fly?

A very common error made In natural
histories where this fish Is mentioned Is
that it does not fly. ats supposed flight
il nothing more than prolonged leap.
1t cannot deviate from n straight line
and cannot rise "a second time without en-
tering the water" This, briefly, Is tue
sort of thing one meets with int text books
where reference is made 10 this fish.
The simplest way Of dealing with II is
thc professors method Of answering the
query Of tho French academy whether
their definition Of crab was correct. The
story Il 50 well known that il does not
need repetition. AS the result of personal
observation extending over good many
years. assert that the exocetus does fly.
have often seen flying fish rise 200
yards OF, describe n semicircle, and meet
ing tho ship rise 90 feet in the air perIen-
dicularly, at the same time darting OIL Mt
right angles to It's previous course. Then,
after another long flight, when just about
TO enter the water, the gaping jaws OF
dolphin emerging from the sea gave II
pause, and Il rose again, returning almost
directly upon its former course. THIS pro-
cedure is 80 common that it is marvel II
is not moro widely known.
4 1ying fish of mature size can fly 900
yards. 1t does not flap its fins as bird,
but they vibrate, like the wings OF an IN
sect. with distinct hum. The only thing
which terminates its flight Involuntary
is the driving of It's fin membranes and
their consequent stif1ening .-Chambe rs
