A soNo OF THE WORLD.


"World amt what Il useter be" you'll hear

As he crosses Of his legs an heaves sigh
But 1t happens, she's the best world that she's
ever been to-day,
An she's whlrlin' like 2 40 round the sky.
The stores give bigger measure
The mines, n sight o. treasure;
There's more o. love an pleasure
In tho land.
The skies is mostly sunny;
You jingle more O. money.
An the brown bees bring their honey
To your handl
'World ain't what Il useter be-" or course.
1t amt, because
It's cuttln' out newer kind o. way.
It amt got time TO worry bout the kind o.

For # keeps gittin happy on the way!

Burglars Laugh at LOcksmiths.

Detective William Henderson of
Philadelphia discussed the evolution
of burglars tools in recent inter
view: 'The modern burglar is like
love in one particular" said he, Gin
asmuch as he laughs at locksmiths.
His seemingly simple tools indicate
that the attempts made to bar his pro-
gress are not difficult to overcome,
and yet not many years ago they were
possessed of a very different idea, and
in Old Man Hopes prime brute force
was in measure the leading idea in
forcing safe. In those days one
crook was selected to go owith the gang,
not because of his brains, but on ac-
count of his muscle, and his duty
was to carry the heavy tools. Big
crowbars, huge logs and strong men
were then the order of things. Safes
were literally dragged apart.
'In y few years things went to the
other extreme. Men intending to rob
a safe would take hardly any tools,
but would break into convenient
blacksmith shop, get n crowbar and
a sledge, and then go to the place to be
robbed. AS safes were then con-
structed, few blows with the sledge
would knock off the hinges of one
door, and then a pry with the bar
would wrench the door away. But
safe manufacturers soon caught on,
and when the handle of the safe was
turned by the owner, bolts shot both
ways, removing the responsibility
from the hinges.
"Then came the era of powder. A
safe would have the crack running
around the doors plugged with oakum,
two little spaces only being left. From
one all the air would be drawn by a
pump. and through the other powder
would be allowed to sift in. When
they touched it off the safe would be
ripped apart. But this method, de-
spite all precautions, was noisy, and
then came the modern tools. In the
case of an ordinary safe, the knob is
knocked of, a punch removes the COM
binations, and piece of wire throws
back the tumblers. In better safes
the drag is used. If had a safe, no
matter how good, with many valua-
hles in it, l would not trust burglar
alone with it for over ten minutes at
the outside. So far the burglars are
abreast of the makers of safes, and no
improvement is made by the latter
that the former in short time do not
learn to circumYent

Romance of a Treasure Troyc.

A tin can filled with n melted mass
of silver weighing about eight pounds
was found the other week by quarry
men near Ronda, Texas, buried about
two feet below the surface in the
banks of creek some twelve miles
from tue Red River. While Texas
was yet Spanish province a road
known as the Santa Fc trsu ran along
beside the Red River, and it is sur

The Secretary Birds Good stomach.

The authorities at Cape Colony pro.
tect the secretary bird on account of
the thorough way in which it protects
gardens and poultry from poisonous
snakes. A blow or two from its pow
erful legs or pick from its sharp bill
is sufficient to break the back of any
serpent, and if the reptile succeeds in
getting in blow with its fangs it is
alroitly received on the long outer
feathers of the interposed wing of the
bird. Then the snake is swallowed
whole, parting blow of the head on
the ground being given it just as that
part is disappearing from view. But
snakes by no means constitute the en-
tire bill of fare of this hungry Great
ure. The contents of the stomach of
one of them have thus been described:
Il found inside one three snakes as
long as my arm, eleven lizards seven
inches long, twenty-one tortoises about
two inches in diameter, besides a
large quantity of grasshoppers and
other insects; or, in other words.
seven and a half feet of snake. six and
half of lizard, three and a half Of
tortoise and, say, a yard of miscel.
laueous trihes." As this dignified and
always reliable bird can be trained TO
protect the poultry yard from all kinds
of birds of prey, small animals and
other enemies, and as it can be accli.
mated in this country, it would seem
that it would be well to introduce it
here as a regular barnyard inhabitant

Says the Boston Transcript: "rhe
first lady who ever gave money to Har

her most imaginative moment that

Radcliffe, who was afterward Dame
Moulson, sent her hundred pounds
over seas from England to aid the cause
of education. She cast her bread upon
the waters, and it is returned to her
memory in honor after all these many
days. Mrs. Agassiz, the President of
the Harvard Annex, is congratulated
on this most charming and suggestive
choice of name.

German Lloyd and the Hamburg
American Packet companies.
A strange fact has arisen in connec-

women have great difficulty in making

A German has taken out patent for
producing varnish from linseed oil by
means of an electric current. The oil,
after being purified in a proper man
ner, is thoroughly mixed and agitated
with sulphuric acid and water and sub
jected to the action of an electric cur
rent for two or three hours, so that the
oxygen produced in the nascent state
by the passage of the current converts
the oil into varnish. The varnish so
produced is said to he almost colorless
and perfectly free from all mineral or
metallic admixtures or impurities.
The electric locomotive which the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany has secured for the purpose of
hauling passenger cars through the
Baltimore Tunnel, is capable of haul
ing the heaviest trains, weighing 1900
tons up the grade, and through the
tunnel under the city, a distance of
three miles. The weight of the loco
motive is $50, 900 pounds; its length
trihe over fifty feet; the height is
fourteen feet three inches, and the ex-
treme width nine feet, 81 inches. 1t
is claimed that possible speed of
fifty miles an hour can be attained by
this locomotive.
With the ophthalmoscope and oph-
thalmometer there are very few prob
lens with regard to the functions and
diseases of the human eye that cannot
be determined by an expert in very
few moments of time. 1t may safely
be asserted that there is no department
of knowledge of the functions and dis
eases of the human body that is so adj
vanced as that of ophthalmology, and
this has been the work of the civiliza-
tion of the nineteenth century. With
the ophthalmoscope the circular open
ing the iris, which we call the pupil,
is made window looking in upon n
scarlet picture, in the center of which
is a beautiful white moon-like disk,
over which radiate vessels pulsating
with the blood constantly pumped in

the varying and almost numberless
changes made by diseases are noted by
the practised eye, and tell n tale Of
warming and often of woe.

Croker on the Income TAX.

Richard Croker, says an exchange.
while at the National Capital a few
days ago, had an audience with var
lous members of congress in Speaker
Crisp's room. Returning to New
York he gave the following account to
the assembly leaders who called at
Tammany headquarters to welcome
him home:
| was asked while in the speakers
room what | thought of an income tax
They asked me for an opinion, and
was merely expressing my personal
opinion when | said that | thought
that any party committing itself to an
income tax would have hard road to
travel. | also said that such bill as
rider to the tariff bill would be most
unfortunate for the party enacting
such Il law. l explained that l was
opposed to the income tax because
thought such law injudicious and be-
cause it would affect New York, where
we already have personal and real
estate tax.

A Righteous Veto.

Mayor Kennedy has done very little
since he has been at the head of ouI
municipal affairs that we can com
mend, but he has done one good thing
and for that We wish to thank him
In his veto of the so-called garbage
contract he has pitt his official foot up
on one of the greatest frauds and
steals eyer proposed to saddle upon
our people. No councilman who voted
for that contract should ever be re-
elected, because the city is not safe in
the hands of such men.
The matter was of so much impOr-
lance that the Mayor prepared his
message (Which has been given out and
which we publish elseWhere) and called
a special meeting of the Council for
last Wednesday evening that they
might get prompt action on the mat
ter, bit these cOuncilmen showed their
contempt for the Mayor by refusing
to attend the meeting, and no quorum
being present the matter went over
until the next regular meeting Tues
tay evening.
The contract was not only vicious
and unjust to the tax payers of the city
on general principals, but was also in
open and fragrant violation of the
charter and all law touching such mat
tiers, and positively denying to the
property holder rights specifically dele
gated to him by the charter
Read the Mayors message for what
it is worth on its face, and then go
back and read between the lines and
you will see the hideOuS outrage of
those who would legislate away the
rights of the people they are supposed
to serve, and the rebuke given them
by the Mayor.
1t is with deep sorrow that we see
the names of certain men recorded as
favoring the contract, for it raises the
question, "who cln We trust as public
officials, if not such as these
Mayor Kennedy, we thank you for
saving us from this calamity at this
time by tins prompt exercise of your
official privilege and duty.

Inland Ocean: When Major Bald
win spoke disrespectfully of the Du-
luth chamber of commerce in congress
he inSulted the city which had honored
him. When he stated that but one

Slarlng falsehOOd. But when Mai
BALDWIN stands unfiinchinglv for the
principles enunciated in the democrat
&c platform upon which he was elected
we have thousand times more re-
spect for him than for the democrats
IN Duluth who are now yilifving him.
These democrats are traitors to their
party Aye, worse than traitors le-
cause they have not only desert ed
their party when it is endeavorirg TO
fulfil its solemn pledges but by their
very words and acts show to the world
that in their belief the promises of
their party were made only to be brok-
en- These democrats voted for the
SpollS of office and not for what they
considered good government. They
voted for plank which declared pro-
lection unconstitutional and are pro-
tectlonists at heart. They voted, as
they must have thought, for a lie.
They are whining now with disappoint-
ment. Why: Because the congress-
man they elected is acting as he was
sent to Washington to act We have
pity for the poor laborer who supposed
he was voting for his own welfare
when he cast IA democratic ballot, but
Tor these men who voted with their
eyes open We have nothing but con
tempt. Maj. Baldwin shines like
diamond III their midst. He is CON
sistent. They are not.

should be done from year to year

Anxious to Consolidate.

Secretary IIennessy, of the West
End chamber of commerce, is anxious
for a consolidation of all commercial
bodies of the city. lie portrays his
plan as follows:
My idea of consolidated body is
one operating under the title of the
Chamber of Commerce of the City of
Superior 1t should include III it's
membership every business man in
the city and would do an incalCula BILE
amount of good if properly handled
The plan is to throw overheard the
existing charters, liqujdate accounts
and surrender memberships and stocks,
start the chamber of commerce of the
City of Superior with a clean slate.
Put the membership fee down to. say,
81 and make every respectable person
eligible with dues of % cents a month.
That would bring it within the reach
of all, as the subscription man saws,
and on such basis [ wifi undertake
to get a body of 200 active members
together in two weeks, with the as
sistance Of the press. Day X. Smith
Of the Transfer railroad of Duluth
tells me that X nsas City owes more
to just such a body than to all the
other forces which contributed to its
development
I.ahoring only for the best interests
of all the people, the TIMES always
has and at least for some time TO come
will continue to oppose this scheme of
consolidation. 1t would no doubt
work well for the people OF Ijot Su-
pericr, but it would be the virtual
death knell for Superior proper. We
cannot yet afford consolidatlon-or
absorption.
