The Kiel, the Harlem and the $500"
canals have all been opened recently.
Dear old Chicago is next in line with her
$20, ZOO, 900 drainage canal, on which up
ward of 100000 600 has already been ex-
pended. This truly great undertaking
will probably be completed within a
couple of years and is expected to carry
the sewage of the windy city into the
Mississippi and out to the sea in such a
manner as to solve the city's sewage
problem without detriment to itself or
to the population of the Illinois or Mis-
sissippi valleys. The canal will be 165
feet wide and IS feet deep, and it is said
that Chicago will invite the garbage
contractors of all creation to attend the
opening festivities and sail through the
canal in their crack scows. It makes
ones head swim with pride to think
what a gorgeous figure our Colonel Geo
Beautiful Waring will cut on that grand
occasion. And think how Chicago will
blow when, for the first time, the sewage
is turned on and proves to be of suffi-

LACK OF DISORDER.
Absence of Liquor Decreases the
Amount of Crime.

New YORK, July 29.-The police
made supreme effort to enforce the
excise law yesterday, and to all APP
pearances they realized their expecta-
tons almost to the letter. To all
practical intent the law was so thor
Oughly enforced that not saloon was
open to the general public, and so
fearful had the saloonkeepers become
of the citizen spy that it was a diff
cult matter for even the initiated to
get d drink at any place unless the
proprietor or the man in charge was
absolutely certain that no danger
would follow the admission of the
would-be customer, in the shape of a
summons to court.
The oldest men about police head
quarters could recall no precedent for
the lack of disorder. At the clubs also
the excise law was to all appearances
strictly observed.
At the hotels it was somewhat diff
ferent, as the regular guests were sup
piled with all the refreshments they
wanted at their meals. At the Fifth
Avenue hotel the wants of the regular
thirsty Sunday patrons were attended
to in parlor F, where a supply of bis
cult was furnished with every order
for a drink

Mrs. Stanford to Sell Her Horses.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-Mrs. Lee
land Stanford has been at Palo Alto
consulting President Jordan about the
opening of Stanford university in
September. Mrs. Stanford's finances
will not permit of any expenditures
that are not absolutely necessary, but
she will be able to furnish money to
run the institution on the same plan
as last year. Mrs. Stanford, in order
to raise the money, will sell off the
stock on the Palo Alto ranch. There
are now on the farm 600 head of fine
horses. One auction sale will be held
in New York and another in San
Francisco.

THE INDIAN TROUBLE.

General Coppinger Is Moving Troops to
Jackson's Hole and Market Lake.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-Dispatches
received at army headquarters here
from General Coppinger show that the
force of cavalry ordered to Jackson's
Hole, the scene of the Indian troubles
in Wyoming, is making it's way there
and will probably reach the place by
Tuesday night. In addition other
troops have been ordered to Market
Lake from Fort Russell, so as to be in
readiness for active work should their
services be required. No mention is
made of further trouble, and with the
known peaceful attitude of the In
dams on the Washable and Duschesne
reservations, the situation is regarded
as very much simplifed.

YOKOHAMA, July 29.-Since the out
break of cholera in Japan g, 900 persons
have been attacked with the disease
and over 5000 persons have died.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 29.-Advices

her army and navy to a war footing.
Two cruisers, bought in Peru, have
already arrived, and crews will shortly
be sent to England to bring out three
ironclads, each of $4,000 tons, which
have been ordered there. A strong
and warlike temper prevails in Japan.
The correspondent further says that
the Japanese imperial body guard has
been sent to the island of Formosa,
where the rebels are supported by the
viceroys of Southern China, who send
them arms and ammunition to main
tain stubborn resistance. The Jap
anese have blown up the Notifications

Cholera is raging in Corea and in the
Lao Tung peninsula. The japanese
dominate Corea and hold the king a

The State Has Closed and the Defense
Begins Its Side of the Case.
CARRoLLToN, Mo-, July 29.-The state
in the Taylor case rested Saturday
about 1890 o'clock, and court ad-
iourned until o'clock. The general
sentiment of those who have watched
the case closely at this time is that the
state has made a much stronger case
at this trial
l. At 1 o'clock Edward Barton was in
troduced by the defense, but his testi-
mony was unimportant, as was also
DR.. Stephensons.
Clarence Whitaker denied that he
mad gone fishing with Johnnie HOke
on the night of the 10th and said that
they did not see the Taylors on their
way to Milan.
Miss Van Wye was the most i'm
portant witness introduced by the de-
tense. She said she saw William Tay-
Ior standing in front of the bank and
spoke to him.
The state in REORGANIZATION
brought out the fact that the first per-
son she ever told about seeing William
Taylor was Colonel Meyers, one of the
attorneys for the defense, and that
was several months thereafter, and
that he drew up a statement of what
she would swear to which she signed
and that she at home made several at
tempts to copy off what was contained
in her statement, but failed and tore
them up. Her testimony was consid-
era bly, weakened by ton.
The state will attempt to impeach
her testimony this week. Court adj

THE ELEPHANTS TUsKs.
Some Interesting Facts About the Ivory
They Furnish.

They Furnish.
Strictly speaking, ivory is equiva-
lent to dentine, the hard substance of
which most teeth chiefly consist; but,
as commonly accepted ivory means the
dentine of those teeth that are large
enough to be of use for industrial pur-
poses, such as the tusks of the elephant,
the narwhal, the hippopotamus, the
walrus and the sperm whale. The tusks
of the elephant are a pair of upper in
cisor teeth which often grow to an
enormous size. The extinct mammoths
possessed the largest tusks. The Afri-
can species have the largest teeth of
any of the recent elephants. Among the
many curiosities to be seen at the Lon
don exhibition of 1851, was a pair of
African tuszs that measured eight feet
and six inches in length and twenty
two inches in circumference, and to-
gether weighed 325 pounds. The aver
age weight, however, of the African
tusks is from twenty to fifty pounds.
Captive elephants usually have their
tusks shortened, and the ends bound
with metal to keep them from splitting,
but the tusks continue to grow by rea-
son of the conversion of vascular pulp
into ivory, and the shortening opera
ton has to be repeated at intervals.
The value of ivory depends upon the
size of the tusks; those weighing less
than six pounds are not worth more
than half the price per pound of really
fine tusks. The tusks of the narwhal
and the wa1rus, the teeth of sperm
whales, the ear-bones of whales, and
the molar teeth of the elephant are all
made use of as sources of ivory, though
they are not so valuable as the larger
tusks. The best and finest quality
comes from eouatOriaI Africa IT is
much closer in grain than Indian ivory,
and has less tendency to become yell
low when exposed. 1t is semi-trans-
parent and of a warm color when first
cut, and in this state it is called green
ivory; as the water dries out of it, it
becomes much lighter in color and more
opaque.

SILVER MEN CHOSEN.

Sound Money Democrats Make No Efforts
to Capture Delegations.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, July 29.-Free silver

of rainfall that has occurred for several

inch and half.
