TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS.

That Amount Involved In tho Tacoma
Harbor Decision, just Rendered.
TACOMA, Wash, March Twenty
million dollars is the estimate of the
value placed by the harbor line COM
mission of this state on the property
affected by the decision of the United
States supreme court in the case of
Prosser against the Northern Pacific
railroad, which has just been handed
down. The railroad company laid
claim to a strip 200 feet wide on each
side of the roadbed. The Northern
Pacific wharves, bunkers and elevators
coming within these lines, the state,
through the harbor line commission,
looks forward to heavy rentals. In
addition to the bunkerS and elevators a
quarter of a million has been spent by
the Northern Pacific for filing in
wharves.
Justice Gray, who delivered the opin-

harbor. The court held that every state
has the right to define its harbor lines,

Color and Warmth,

The color OF materials has some in
fluenoe on the warmth Of the clothing.
Black and blue. absorb heat freely from
without, but white and light shades Of
yellow, etc., are far less absorbent.
This difference can be demonstrated by
experiment. The same material, when
dyed with different colors, will absorb
different amounts of heat. In hot coun-
tries white coverings are universally
worn, and sailors aud others wear white
clothing in hot weather.
With regard, however, to heat given
off from the body the color of the ma
terials used as clothing makes little il
any difference. Red flannel is popu-
larly supposed to be warm, though it is
no better in this respect than similar
materials of equal substance, but white
CT gray in colcr. Dark clothing is best
for cold weather, because it more freely
absorbs any heat that is obtainable.-

Three Men Killed.
About 1890 a row broke ont in the
First district of the Thirteenth ward.
The Malloy men, it was stated by the
Republicans, were running in repeaters.
Among the Republican watchers Were
Robert Ross and his brother William.
They gra )bed at a couple of men who
were being showed forward to vote. Dur.
ing the fracas three or four shots were
fired. When the reserve police force
finally restored order, Robert Ross was
found lying on the ground with pistol
wound, dead, and his brother William
lying near by fatally hurt. Several
others were in bad shape, many men be-
ing pounded until their faces were I'M
recognizable.
On the opposite side of the street was
Bait Shaw, Democrat, also lying dead
in the gutter.
The Malloy men claimed that the
shots were Freddy the police who ad-
nit using clubs and revolvers, but the
bystanders say that pistols were drawn
before the police took hand. No ar
rests We're made.
1t is understood now that Bait
Shea himself did the shooting and was
in turn shot himself by one of the Rosa
brothers. Shea is a notorious character
well known to the police.

1.-The most eloquent speakers are not
the most powerful" says Hon. John
Fithian of Illinois. There are men
who could hold an audience spelIbound
with a speech about cockroach and at
the close of it the people would not
know whether the cockroach was an
animal, bird or piece of machinery.
I saw an illustration of this one time in
a political maeting-- One of the most
eloquent speakers in the country is EN-
erson Etheridge, and heard him deliver
a speech that swayed the hearers like
music ait the hands of a master. There
was nothing that he could not do with
the crowd while they were under his
control. His opponent had voice like
a big bass viol, halted and stammered,
but confined himself to holnely Ian
guage and rather coarse ridicule. |

A Climbing Bullock.

At the great slaughter houses in the
Partisan suburb of La Villette there is
a granary from which the beasts await
ing execution are fed. The way to it is
up a substantial ladder staircase. One
of the bullocks, having escaped from the
pens, climbed up this staircase before he
could be stopped. When his escape was
first discovered, he was seen on the
stairs, slowly and laboriously making
his way upward. AS soon as he reached
the granary two or three attendants fol-
lowed him and endeavored to get him
down, bat all their efforts were unavail-
ing. There was nothing to be done,
therefore, but to leave the beast there
to eat his fill and then see whether he
would be clever enough to return by the
way he went. Possibly some thought
of exhibiting him in public may have
crossed the minds of his guardians, but
if so they were doomed to disappoint-
ment. The stupid animal, instead Of
trusting to the staircase, got out of a
window on the opposite side of the
building and put one foot on little
thin ladder standing against it. There
was a crash, the ladder broke in half
and the too adventurous bullock fell,
breaking all his legs, SO that he had to be
killed on the spct.-Paris Letter.

a NOVEL FACING MATCH.

ToDosgaaing BowE Run Rocking
Horsss to Decide Wager.
There is no knowing what an Eng
Iishman will not do to decide bet.
Men have Jumped across dining tables,
mounted upon untractable steeds-yea,
and even kissed their own mothers-in-
LAWN order TO settle a wager. In fine,

among Us by this time that, given acer-
tain number Of impos3ibilities and an
equal number Of young Englishmen,
those impogsibilities will mot long re-
main such, provided they be made the
subjects Of bets.
One Of those incidents which go q
long way toward justifying the reputa-
ton which as nation of madmen we
have earned among foreigners occurred
at st. Moritz when, in order to settle
bet" Lord William Manners and the
Hon. 81. Gibson agreed to go down the
village run" mounted on rocking
horses in place of ordinary toboggans.
A feature of the race was that both
competitors wer6 ''attiTed in full hunt
ing kit" and as elaborate preparations
had been made for the contest and ru-
NOR Of the affair had been industriously
noised abroad the crowd which had as
sembled to witness it was both large
and distinguished.
The start was fixed for - O'Clock,
and shortly before that hour the shouts
Of the spectators announced that the
horses were off. Unlike the custom in
toboggan races, both started at the same
time. In the first course Lord William
Manners led as far as a certain angle Of
the run called Casper's Corners, from
the fact THAI hotel of that name is
situated close by, but taking it rather
high Mr. Gibson passed cleverly on the
inside, which be maintained to the fin
ish," Lord William being summarily
dismissed from his fractions steed's
back some distance to the bad from the
winning post.
In the second course Lord William
Manners again had the advantage as far
as Casper 5 Corners, where Mr.. Gibson
again tried to pass him on the inside,
but being jockeyed by his opponent his
horse swung round and proceeded down
the run tail foremost, but leading. The
merriment Of the spectators at this
stage of the proceedings may be more
easily imagined than described, nor did
it abate in the least when Mr.. Gibson,
dismounting, seized it unceremoniously
by the nose and turned it into the way
it should go.
Meanwhile Lord William Manners
had suffered disappointment a second
time, for in attempting to ''take"-to
use true hunting term-a particularly
awkward part Of the run called Bel
vedere Corner his horse refused to re-
spOnd to its riders exeItions to get it
successfully over the obstacle, and horse
and jockey came down to the ground in
one tumultuous somersault together.
Lord Williams discontinue proved
to be Mr.. Gibson's opportunity. The
time and ground that the former had
lost by his involuntary flight through
the air were never recovered. Mr.. Glib
son, with the position of his horse re-
veTsed and his legs thrust scientifically
in front of him, rode easily and trium-
phantIy forward and eventually reached
the winning post some seconds in adj
vance OF his pponent.-Alpine Post.

Connecticut People Pay Round1y For
What Legislation They Want.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, March THE
last general assembly of Connecticut
was famous for its schemes to secure
good paying political positions. Details
OF the Hartford bridge scheme which
resulted in the payment of something
over $50, 900 for lobby purposes, have
already been published. Another lobby
scheme is now exposed. About eight
years ago law was passed
providing for the abolition of
railroad grade crossings in various
towns in the state. The law provided
that the towns should bear portion of
this expense and the railroad the re-
mainder. Early last session bill was
introduced providing for the payment
from the state treasury to the towns
which had paid for the abolition of
grade crossings the total sum they had
expended. This bill was carefully
manipulated and finally lobbied
through. The towns of Wrantford,
fGuilford, Madison and East Haven re,
ceived about $4,000 Of this amount
the towns paid to the lobbyists per
cent of the amount received. and a con-
siderable additional sum, the amount of

In the chamber when the vice presidents

asking its reference to the committee on
finance:
Whereas, The secretary of the treas

Whereas, House bill No. 1854, known
as the Wilson bill, proposes to discard

taxation and to meet the the new de-
ficiency by further internal and direct
taxation, therefore
Resolved, That the senate finance

thereof make provision for sufficient
revenue by tariffing other foreign i'm

In doing so, he stated to the senate. and

(Mr. Stewart) that the latter was not "a

than he. But he Harris believed that
there was one question which should
take precedence over this, and without
any breach of confidence, he could state
that the finance committee was on the
verge of reporting the tariff bill to the

proceedings on the seigniorage bill, ,, and
