Within the last four or five years the

Not long ago a guest at the Waldorf

A SKELETON FOR DRINKS.
Failing to Make Exchange a Student
Gets in Trouble and Tries Suicide.

From the Philadelphia Record.
In exchange for liquor /. L. Goldsmith,
a student at the Medico-Chirurgica hos
pital, offered a human skeleton at several
saloons which he visited last evening. In
Hagert's saloon, at Passyunk avenue and
Dickinson street, he wanted IS for the
bones, but when the bartender absolutely
refused TO buy, he finally agreed 70 part
with the skeleton for a drink. The bar
tender threw the student out.
Goldsmith went in TO the rear portion
Of the house and attempted 10 dispose Of
the skeleton 10 Mrs. Hagert. When she
refused to buy he assaulted her and a
friend who was calling upon her. Their
screams brought Policeman Mouehan, of
the Twenty fifth district, and Goldsmith
was locked up.
About half an hour after the students
incarceration he was found by the turn
key hanging from his cell by strips of his
shirt. He was cut down, and ten minutes
later was discovered in a TT on the floor.
He was then taken 10 ST. Agnes hospital

NAPoLEoN's DAINTY TOILET.
After his Morning Shave His Valet

From the Chicago Tribune.
One of the most interesting articles
found among the recent numerous essays
upon the private life of Napoleon is on
the toilet of the emperor which, it ap-
pears, was a most important matter and
regulated down TO the smallest details
with mathematical precision. When
awakened it was Napoleon's custom 10
glance over the papers while the fires
were lit. He was sensitive to cold, and
fire was prepared in every room, even in
midsummer. Then of distinguished peo-
pie awaiting an audience he would des-
ignate those whom he wished TO
see, after which he would rise and
take a hot bath, lasting about an
hour. The daily shaving was the
next duty, Ordinarily his physician, Cor
visart. would be present, chatting and Sc
curing favors for his friends. Napoleon's
greeting was usually some badinage, such
as. "Ah, charlatan How many patients
have you killed this morning. And the
physician would reply in kind. Two Wallets
were necessary for shaving, one holding
the basin and another the mirror. The
emperor, in a flannel robe de chambre,
then covered his face with soap and began
to shave Throwing OF mis- robe, Ma

scrubbing with rough brush.
The valet then rubbed the whole body
with linen rolls saturated with eau de
cologne-a custom that Napoleon had
acquired in the east The scrubbing was
none OF tine lightest either, for he would
cali out from time TO time "Harder--rub
harder" When the scru0biug vas over

detail Of his costume was the religious

neck the little leather envelope, shaped

the medical profession indulge CHASTITY
humor by employing similar receptacles
TO hold tobacco. The demand for human
bones always exceeds the supply. II is
said that the finest work ever bestowed
on a skeleton may be seen in that used by
the magician Herman, though he will
not permit anybody TO examine it.

Bones of saints are scattered all over
Europe. There are twenty iawbones of
John the Baptist alone, and nine of ST.
BarthOlomew's hands are well known.
The most extensive collection of osseous
relics is that Of the II 900 virgins in the
Church of St. Ursula at Cologne each
separate bone of which is presumed to be
capable of performing a miracle.
The ordinary bone-boiling industry, so
vehemently discoun lenanced by residents
in the neigh borhood of factories engaged
in the business, has wide commercial
Importance. The shirs, thighs and fore
legs of cattle and sheep are cleaned at
these establishments and turned over to
manufacturers, who make them up into
knife handles, tooth brushes, collar but
tons, ivory" sleeve buttons. umbrella
handles, hair brushes and combs. Great
quantities Of the thigh bones. which fur
nish the best material. are exported to
Europe, and brought back TO this country
in manufactured shape. The ribs and
skulls are used for making bone black,
which is employed chiefly in sugar re-
fneries. The marrow of the bones yields
the bears grease" Of commerce.
Skeletons of animals reach the ma
tional museum in The rough-that is to
say, with part of the flesh still adhering.
They come from all parts of the world. The
small skeletons are simply soaked in
water, scraped and bleached in the sun.
Those Of larger animals are soaked until
the flesh is rotted. Then they are taken
out and STEPPED in hot washing soda, after
which they are scrubbed with brushes.
Next they are put in a weak solution Of
chloride Of lime, 10 bleach and deodorize
them. Finally they are spread out in the
sun 10 whiten before putting the bones to-

A GOOD OPINION OF IDAHO.

l.. NJ. Earl returned yesterday from
an extended business trip to Idaho
| While absent he visited the county seats
! of Oneida, BannOck, Fremont, Bing-
ham. Canyon and Ada counties, and
reports the financial condition of these
several counties to be good. While in
Caldwell, Ida. Mr.. Earl thoroughly in
vestigated the resources of that part of
the country, and it is his opinion that
no locality affords the investor better
opportunities than the vast stretch OF
country lying around Caldwell and the
Payette valleys. This is the locality in
which Mr.. p. II. Lannan, Ex-Governor
Thomas, Judge Bartch and other prom
inent Salt Lakers are heavily Interested
The altitude is about 1000 feet lower
than that of Salt Lake valley, and con-
sequently the seasons are much earlier
and the winters are very mild as COM
pared to the winters of our own valley.
1t is the opinion of Mr. Earl that the
country around Caldwell and Payette
viii soon possess an immense popula-
ton. He believes that many young
men in Utah, who are seeking loca-
tionS on which to build themselves a
home. and gain for themselves an in
dependence, could do no better than
locate in that part of the country

MIDDLETON MELANGE.
E. NJ. S.

The slough at this place is higher
! than ever known before by the Oldest
settler, and still rising.
! The last wool of the season from
! Willow creek was hauled this morning
! Perry Groves will have to hunt fol-
| pastures new if he wants to do more

The lecture season has opened in
this burg. We were favored with a
lecture on temperance. by Mrs. Mitchell
who is well and favOrably known in
the lecture field.
Dan MastersOn thinks he will get
started for Owyhee county next Mon
day if the bridge near Caldwell does
not wash out; he is packing up prepare
tory for the move.
DR.. Lee came up from Caldwell to
visit one Of his patients above Middle
ton near Blessingers but when he came
to the bridge our combination CT
slOugAS looked too formidable for him
and he thought discretion the better
part of va)or, so did not venture to
cross them, but went back.
Walter Sebree and Bob Boone came
up to Middleton on their wheels Sun
day evening, making the trip in the
fast time of 32 minutes. They state
that they reached the bridge in ten
minutes, and Middleton from the
bridge in % minutes. Pretty good
wheeling for amatures:
Talk about your Minnesota billiards,
why Minnesota and Kansas are not in
it with us. We have the strongest,
longest, healthiest blows that the world
ever saw. We have higher water, and
more of It; larger streams, bigger rivers,
better crops, in fact everything better
than other people. What more do we
want? We would take the balance of
the world and protect it, providing it
is fenced and otherwise secure.
Base ball under ditficulties-The boys
from Star came down to Middleton to
play ball, and brought a boat in six
horse wagon. They made four or five
trips and had to call on Dannie Master
son to tow them across with a horse,
the wind blowing perfect blizzard at
the time. After dinner they repaired
to the grounds and played seven in
nlngs. The score stood 30 to AZ in
favor of Middleton. The game was for
a ball and bat and two dollars and
half in money. After the game they
had a lively time getting back to their
wagons.

and mail carrier, from Caldwell to

he thought he was good for anything,
but he made mistake as many others
do, your correspondent among the rest.
He undertook to hive swarm of bees,
they had roasted pretty high in a tree,
necessitating long ladder. He got up
the ladder four steps but provided no
protection for face and hands. The
bees began to drop on the bare places,
and compelled him to jump to the
ground, result, swelled face, a very
sick stomach, and a call for the medico. |

THE FLOODS.
Various Rivers Cavorting Over their Banks
Traffic Suspended all Around.

Traffic, west of Caldwell has been so
irregular as to be practically suspended
during the last three weeks. The
Boise, Snake and Payette rivers are
all booming together. being higher than
ever before known by the oldest settler.
At first the principal difficulty occurred
on the Boise river, but that was soon
overcome, and the Payette began to
play havock. Whenever the Pavette
took notion to lay off for few hours
and behave itself, the Snake turned
loose and then half dozen streams
farther west became restless, until the
Columbia began to spread out, inundat-
ing the country along it's banks for 600
miles. 1t seems as though Snake river
is just beginning to wake up to the bust
ness Of the occasion and with almost
human vindictiveness attacks the rail
road at every vulnerable point. No
sooner is one breach repaired than the
treacherous stream swings around and
opens another. Not satisfied with
washing away the Oregon Short Line,
it is now as a sort OF side play devOting
itself to the Utah and Northern, hav-
ing, according to rumor, wiped out four
miles OF track at Market Lake. 1t is
impossible here to obtain accurate in
formation as the breaks are occurring
at every conceivable point. Sundays
west bound passenger got here on
time, but was unable to 60 further
and backed up to Pocatello leaving
some 40 passengers here. Monday
they pulled out, but at this writ
ing are still on this side OF Weiser.
When the floods will sudside and traf-
fic be regularly resumed it is impossi-
BILE to say. The railway officials are
doing everything in their power to get
trains through and providing every
possible comfort and convenience for
passengers. Superintendent Calvin
and Bancroft have been on the ground,
or rather water nearly all the time ex-
erting every possible effort to get trains
over the road.
