Indians Believe That God Had an Adviser
 a5 tho Creation.
 Tn the beginning God made Adam out of the earth, but he did rot make Glus-lEabe (the Indian God), says Abbe L. Alger in the Regular Science Monthly. Glus-kabe made himself out of the dirt that was kicked up in the creation of Adam. He rose and walked about, but he could not speak until the Lord opened his lips.
 God made tiie earth and the sea, and then He took counsel with Glus-l1abe concerning them. He asked him if il would be better to have the rivers run up on one side of the earth and down on the other, but GlUs-lZabe said: 'No they must all run down one way"
 Then the Lord asked him about the ocean, whether it would not do to have it always lie still. Glus-kabe told Him '.NoI It must rise and fall, or else ii would grow thick and stagnant."
 ''How about fre?" asked the Lord ''can it burn all the time and nobody put it out?''
 Glus-l1abe said: "That would not do, for if anybody got burned and fire could not be put out, they would die but if it could be put out, then the burn would get well.'
 So he answered all the Lords ques tiOnS

How the Bee Sees.

We are so used to regarding the world around us from the standpoint of our own sight that it is hard to re- alize that to other creatures, far out numbering us and, perhaps, quite as important in the economy of nature, it must look quite different. The honey bee, for example, is supplied with a pair of compound eyes with hundreds of facets, each capable of sight by itself, and several oceeli or little, simple eyes more closely allied to our own. How these eyes are used, what gre their separate functions, what sort of images they can present to their owners, all remain questions as interesting and well-nigh unsolved as they were before the days of our powerful microscopes. Notwithstand- ing the fact that hundreds of en- tomologists have been and are inter ested in this subject, we yet are only at the stage where we can affirm that the honey bee sees a very different flower from the one in which We ob- serve her in search for sweets. al though Of what that difference is and how it is produced we can form but little idea.

SMUGGLING GOODS TO MExioo.
BaIed in New York for Transportation
 Across fI,e ,rexaa Eornar

Passing through Hudson stRet re- gently with friend. says a New York Herald writer, chanced to pass the ablishment of a firm of folders and repaclzers' Of dry goods. Before the door were hundred or more little bales of goods, bearing odd markings, but showing that they were destined for firm in Texas, doing business in a town near the Mexican line.
 Do you know" asked my compan- ion, ''why those goods are put up in such small packages?"
 Upon replying in the negative he continued: They are to be smuggled across the Mexican line The goods are purchased in their original pack ages and delivered here. The wooden boxes are discarded and the goods subjected to hydraulic pressure and baled. E2ch bale contains about thirty pieces or half the number of an ordin- ary dry goods case.
 ''The goods are then shipped to Texas, and all marks removed. When all is arranged some night the little bales are slung across the backs of nlnles. two bales to each animal, and with an armed escort the train pro- ceeds over the border to some dis tributirg point in Mexico, where the goods are sold to Mexican traders at good profit.
 Smuggling in this manner is quite extensively carried on between this country and Mexico, the United States getting in return for it's dry goods, which are the most easily handled, cheap Mexican coffee and cigars. Of course there is a suspicion that the il licit traffic is known to the custom officers of both countries and connived at, but that would be hard matter to prove"

Tr;shrneD in I;io;, Position.

It is not only in the United States that the sons of Erin have secured Q place among the leaders of the people. This fact has been called to mind by the circumstance that while all France was mourning one illustrious Irishman in the person of honest old Marshal MacMahon, the masses of the popula- tion of Hungary were acclaim ing another Irishnan, the Irish peer, Viscount Taafe, who holds the post of prime minister Of Austria, for bring ing forward bill in favo. of universal suffrage. In Spain one of the most in auential, military leaders i5 q general of Hibernian origin, O'Ryan by name, who held the post of minister of war during the former administrations of the present premier; while the queen re- gents private secretary and most trusted adviser and friend bears the name of Murphy.

DEATH eY LIGHTNING.
Theory That It Is Caused by the Upward
 Electric Current.

A Theory That It Is Caused by the Upward
 Electric Current.
 The phenomenon of lightning is the signal that announces the coming to- gether of different electric currents in the restoration of equilibrium. All life is electricity, the stomach is a re- genera tor, the brain is a battery, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. When one is killed by lightning, death is due to absorption-to a loss of this vital fluid, or whatever it may be termed, that i'm pels the physical engine. A thunder cloud is charged with positive elec- tricity, the earth below is charged negatively. Any object below this cloud is similarly charged with this negative current. A discharge from above takes place, the currents meet, ignition ensues, the expansion of the gases produces a vacuum, the air comes together again with report and this is thunder.
 A late view is, when one animate ob ject is struck dead by lightning, that the upward and not the downward current is the agent. The fact that no bird on the wing has been known to be killed by lightning is not con elusive in sustaining this latter view of the method of lightning in produc- ing death.
 When a tree is thus struck, the sod is frequently lifted away from the roots in such Q manner as to indicate the downward passage of the stroke

Adoptsd the Amendment.

A member of the house of commons had been paying attention to young lady for long while. and had taken her to attend the house until she was perfectly posted in it's rules. On the last day of the session, as they came out, he bought her 2 borquet, saying: May offer you my handful of flow ers?" She promptly replied: T move to amend by emitting all after the word hand. " He blushingly accepted the amendment, and they adopted it unanimously.

Clerical Presence of Mind.

An English paper tells good story of clerical presence of mind. A curate who had entered the pulpit provided with one of the late Rev. Charles Brad ley's most recent homilies, was for a moment horror-strucl1 at the sight of Rev. Charles Bradley himself in pew beneath him. Immediately, however, he recovefed-enough sclf-possession to be able to day: ''The beautiful sermon I'm about to preach is by Rev. Charles Bradley, who I'm glad to see in good health among us assembled here"

FIRST OF HooFED ANIMALS.
Supposed to Have Lived on Western Prai-
 ries 100000 Years Ago.

Supposed to Have Lived on Western Prai-
 ries 5O0,000 Years Ago.
 In the rooms of Prof. E. D. Cope, at Philadelphia, the person fortunate enough to gain admission, says the St. Louis Republic, may see the creature which all naturalists are unanimous in pronouncing the first representative of the hoofed-animal species. The an imal is not alive, neither is it entire so far as flesh and blood are concerned, but to the paleontologist, who cares only for the fossiled bones, the speci- men is perfect It is not larger than yearling calf, and not nearly so tall, and was found in the Wind river coun- try in Wyoming. Prof. Cope named it Thenacodus, prim@vus when it was first discovered, giving it as his opin- ion that it was akin to a specimen which was found several years ago in France (the paleotherium), and which gave Cuvier and the other naturalists so much trouble to classify. At the time of the discovery of the French specimen the savants of Europe decided that it was the ancestor of ''hoofed critters" but the Wind river fossil, which is easily distinguished as being a type of the same, is believed to be much more ancient. Cope's curiosity was found in rocks belonging to the eocene period and the time when it grazed on the western prairies has been placed as far back as five hundred thousand years. Every bone is perfect and in place, and the specimen could not be purchased for ten thousand dol lars

Wild geese and wild ducks show knowledge as to the resistance of the atmosphere and sagaeity in overcoming t. When focks of them have togo long distances they form triangle to elcave the air more easily, and the most cour- ageous bird takes position at the for ward angle As this is very fatigu- ng post another bird ere long takes the olace of the exhausted leader. Thus they place their available strength al the service of the society.

ITALIAN POLITICIANS
Brought to Trial for Crooked Bank
Ing Transactions.
MANY MEN HOLDING HIGH PLACES
In the Government Accused OF
Using the Funds Of the Banca
Romano to Secure Their Elec-
tion and for Other Purely Po-
litical Purposes-The Result OF
an Inquiry Begun Last Year.

ROME, May o.-The trial OF the dirsc-
tors and officers OF the Bancs Romano
began to-day in the Court OF Assizes.
1t involves not only officers Of the bank.
but politicians, whose standing prior TO
the fight OF Director Cuciniello With
., 500, 900 lire belonging TO the Rome
branch Of the bank OF Naples, was very
high. The investigation last year OF
the affairs OF the bank OF Naples showed
q deficit Of 1000, 600 lire in the account
OF their Rome bank, the sum having
been paid In the course OF several years
without any other thau political consid-
GRAFTON. The investigation which COW
cred all the tonds. showed the utmost
confusion in other institutions. The
cash deficit OF the Banco Romano was
2s, 600, 900 lire, and the illegal notes OF
that bank issue, since 1853, had reached
64, 500, 900 lire. A large part OF this
money is said to have been given to pro-
minent politicians In order to
SECURE THEIR ELECTION AND SUPPORT.
SlRnOr 1aniOnHO, ooNcruot VI bno
Banco Romsna; Cesar Lazzarsni, the
cashier OF the bank; Slgnor Monzilio
Zsmmarano and three others were ar
rested In connection with these disclos-
ures, but LaLzaroni, Tanlongo and
others were acquitted. The scandal re-
suited in the appointment OF an official
commission to investigate the whole
subject. This commission reported
last November, inculpatlng Pietro La
cava, Minister OF Commerce, and the
following deputies; Count Michele
Amadei. formerly Under Secretary OF
State; Pietro Eelbecchio, n close friend
OF sI.Premier Giolitti; Fillipo, Cavsl-

Augusta Ella, Baron Giovanni Nicotera.
Minister OF the Interior under Crispi;
Sgnor Bruno Chimirri, ex.hinister OF
Agriculture and Of Justice, and . num-
Der OF others.
The prosecution OF the directors and
off ,ers OF the Banco Romano was then
ordered. The hearing will last several
days.

somely gowned and jewel bedecked la
dies ever gathered In this city.
The bride looked simply bewitching,
and the groom, as he pronounced the

happy pride, justified by the occasion.
The attendants were dressed most
char mingly and amidst the bower Of

A COMPROMISE AGREED UPON.

Senator Brice Says the Features OF the
Tariff Biu Have Been Decided Upon and
That 1t VIII Pass.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 2.-While
the reports early in the day Indicated
that there might be some diffiulty In
agreeing upon tariff bill, the confer
ences which were bad by the leaders on
the Democratic side OF the Senate dur
ing the afternoon seem to have been
in the interest Of harmony, and
what lack of confidence there was
among those who hoped to secure
compromise disappeared. Among
those engaged in the conferences were
Senators Jones, Brice, German and
Cockrell, while Senator Hill was present
a portion OF the time. 1t is the position
Of the New York senior Senator that
has caused some trouble, and there are
a number OF Senators who believe even
now that Mr.. Hill will not vote for the
bill with the income tax provision, and
it is almost as certainly understood that
THE INCOME TAX WILL REMAIN.
The Senators who are engineering the
compromise are counting on 43 Demo
cratic votes and they believe they will
be able to control that number beyond
any doubt This indicates that they
hope to pass the bill, even with the op-
position of Mr.. Hill, and it is also indi-
Gated that the bill has been made salts
factory in other respects TO Sem
ators Murphy, Of New YORK,
and Smith, OF New Jersey.
Senator Brice is more outspoken
than any OF those who participated in
the conference, said to-day: "ln an in-
terview few days ago l said that
tariff bill had been agreed upon and
would pass, and l now reiterate that
statement. / will not say anything as
to details, but bill has been agreed
upon. The statement that | made at
that time that the Democratic leaders
had agreed and would pass the bill was
a great hel lp in carrying
THE THIRD OHIO DISTRICT
by the Democrats, and now assert that
what | then said was true and that
tariff bill will pass"
Senator Brice was asked il there was
any doubt about a0y Democratic Sena-
tors voting for the bill, and he replied
that he could not say how Senators
would vote. The assertion was made
on good authority that by unanimous
consent day would be fixed for final
vote upon the bill. A leading Demo-
cratic Senator, while not committing
himself as to the day, predicted that
the bill would be disposed Of before the
first OF June.

ST. PAUL, MIMI, May with only
twelve precincts to hear from the re-

victory with majority OF over 1000.
The result appeared doubtful until TO-
day. Davidson (Popu) had even a
smaller vote than mad been conceded to
him. J. j. McCardy Rep is reelected
Comptroller by about 500 plurality.
John Wagner (Dem.,) has 1000 plu-
raity-for Treasurer. Municipal Judge
Twohy (Dem,,) is reelected and the
vote is close on the other judge, Hall,
Dem being slightly ahead. The
Democrats have five Aldermen to six
Republicans and the assembly is still in
doubt. Mayor Wright (Rep.,) had $500
plurality two years ago.

BURNING OF SEVERAL OTHERS
In a Dyeing Establishment in New

Filled With People Busy at
Work When the Tank OF Ben
zine in the Cellar Let Go With

Flaming Fluid in All Directions.

New YORK, May 1.-Two persons
were burned TO death and three others
badly injured to-day in an explosion
and fire at the dyeing establishment OF
C. Jolly & Sons, on East Twelfth street.
In the basement of the building was a
tank Of benzine which is supposed to
have exploded. In five minutes the
establishment was in flames. The ire
men were for time prevented from
doing effective work by fear OF the ex-
plosion of another tank OF benzine In
the basement. The charred remains OF
a man and woman were taken out after
the fire had been subdued.
THEY WERE IDENTIFIED
as L. Cheneur and Louise Thoman, en-
ployes. Emil Mason was so badly
burned that his recovery is doubtful.
j. b. Boncarron and Leon Boudain
were also badly burned. At the time
of the fire breaking out the hands in
the factory were all busy at
their work and the explosion was
so sudden that none had any
warning. They scrambled down stair
ways and FIRE escapes, some with their
clothing In flames. Several men ran
wildly about the streets until captured
by policemen who tore toe burning gar
ments from their bodies and took them
to store nearby where their wounds
were dressed with oil. These men were
nor seriously injured,
