SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 25.-At an
early hour this morning J. Haynes, en-
route to Portland, Or, walked off the rear
end of one of the sleeping-cars while in
somnambulistic state and broke his left
arm. The accident occurred three miles
north of the town Of Tehama, and the
man states that even the jar of the fall and
the severe pain of the broken member
failed to arouse him, as when he recovered
his senses he found himself in night attire
walking along the track, and the last
thing he could recall to memory was the
fact that he had disrobed and retired to
rest in the sleeping-car.
Mr.. Haynes was brought to Sacramento
and conveyed to the County Hospital
where his injuries received attention.

suicide at her home near AlIesandro. The
Coroner held and inquest to-day and the

The war department. in pursuance
of its efforts to add to the comfort and
convenience of the soldier, is about to
test new device which has met with
considerable success in the Austrian
army. The article about to be tried is
a combination of an overcoat and tent.
1t is intended for use on forced marches,
picket duty, etc. 1t is diamond shaped
when spread out, and when worn by the
soldier folds so as to form sack coat
which falls well below the knee. One of
the points of the diamond forms hood
which can be used in stormy or cold
weather.
When on a forced march or service, in
which it is not convenient to carry tents
the coat can be transformed into v
shaped tent in very few minutes, and
each coat forms tent laage enough to
shelter one man. In case a larger shelter
is required. the coats can be laced to,
gether by the buttonhOles so as to ac-
commodate a dozen men. No poles are
required, the gun and bayonet serving
this purpose.
The matter was brought to the atten-
ton of the department by foreign manu-
facturers, and after some correspondence
20 coats were sent here for test in the
United States army. A thorough trial
will be given them, The garments are
waterproof and light, and If they are
capable of doing the service they are
represented to have performed they may
prove very useful adjunct to the equip
ment of the United States soldier.

Tho Arena For September.

The September Arena opens with a
vivid description of the wordy battle
now being waged in the legislature over
the agitation for raising the age of con-
sent. The facts are marShalled in order
by Helen H. Gardner, the well-knOwn and
popular novelist, and deal this month
with the arguments, pro and con on the
recent legislation in Nebraska, Colorado
and Missouri, where the age has been
materially raised. Prof. Joseph Rodes
Buchanan, whose portrait forms the
frOntispieCe of the number, contributes
a striking and valuable article on The
Marvels of Electricity" In his paper
called "After Sixty Years" Mr.. B. o.
Flower, editor of the Arena, touches
upon the dislllusious of the career of the
reformer, and tells of the career of one
who in lifetime of sixty years service
has not lost faith in humanity, James j.

the Business World" and other popular
metaphysical works, writes on "Omni.

to the taxpayers and the diffusion of
public benefit which would result from
public ownership of electric lighting.
His comparative statistics cannot be re-

outside the newspaper office, draw heav-
lily upon their imagination in seeking for
the sensatiOnal-something that will be
accepted and paid for. One Of the latesJ
attacks of the Argus is founded upOn
statements of an unknown Vermont cor
respondent in the Boston Herald, and
brings a good "call down" from the
Watcbman, as follows:
Our too credulOus contemporary, the
Argps aud Patriot, seems to have been
al too willingly misled by the sensation.
al report the Boston Herald's CORE
spOndent sent to that paper of the unre-
stricted sale of "beer' at the recent mus
ter at Fairlee. In booth, ''directly OPP
posite the main entrance to the camp"
'within stones throw of the Govern
ors tent" it was alleged, beer was dis
pensed from Monday until Thursday"
The allegation of the illegal selling of
"beer" is exploited and intensified in
varied form and phrase to a considerable
length, and mo attempt was made to ar
rest' the keepers of "the improvised sa-
loon" All this, also, has the peculiar
twang of the Rutland Herald office. But
our upstreet contemporary puts the
worst construction on the correspond
ents screed and accepts it all as gospel
truth. The correspondent does not say
whether it was spruce beer, or birch
beer, or ginger ale, that was dispensed"
at this ''imprOvised saloon," and of
which wagon loads "passed through
Fairlee, exposed in bottles, in full sight
of the public" but he evidently intends
the reader shall infer that it was lager
beer. To this conclusion the Argus and
Patriot eagerly rushes and discourses
Historically over the spectacle presented
of ''hagrant violation of the prohibitory
law" with no "attempt or pretence of
cOncealment," and so on and so forth.
Anyone who has read one of these erup-
tions of anti-prohibition rhetoric can
complete the chapter. 1t is not best to
regard these charges" too seriously.
This particular charge bears upon it's
face evidence of improbabilty that
would suggest caution in embracing it
as a candid statement of facts. 1t is in
evidence, and the witnesses are men who
were in attendance throughout the mus
ter, officers of the National Guard on
duty and off duty, in position to know
what was going on in or around the
camp, that if the Argus means lager
beer. or any drink cODtraband of law,
the tale it recites is without foundation
in fact and its comments without war
rant in common sense or common de-
CenCY.

The eyes of most Americans, and Brit
ish, too, will be turned toward New
York, tomorrow, as then will be held the
first of the series of cup races between
the Defender and Valkyrie III. There
will be five races, unless, as in the previ-
GUS contests, three prove sufficient to
demonstrate the superiority of one of the
yachts. The dates fixed for the races
are Saturday of this week, Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday of next week,
and Tuesday of the week after. On three
days the course will be laid fifteen miles
to wiEdward or leeward and return; the
other two races will be over triangular
courses. 1t has been over forty years
since this cup was won from the
British by the yacht America. Since
then nearly every year has witnessed
a struggle by English yachtsmen to re-
gain the treasure. BY the remark
able series of victories the cup has re-
manned on this side, and the Defender
exhibits qualities that encourage yachts
men to believe that the cup will remain
here still another year.

Another evidence of the beauty of the
Wilson. German tariff law: The wool
clip of Vermont for 1895 was only 1882
4G2 pounds, against 2, 2,472.0 pounds in
1898, the wool produce of the United
States having fallen off SC, 1000, 900 pounds
IN these two years. The sales of foreign
wool in Boston alone have increased 34,-
600, 900 pounds. The Vermont and other
American wool raisers are robbed of the
principal revenues of wool raising and
the benefits conferred on foreigners; the
industry was almost crushed in this
country, and the loss is almost incalcu-
liable. Yet the farmers are asked to
trust in Democracy, and then all will
come out right somehow. The trouble
lies in the fact that too much trust was
placed in Democratic promises in 1892.
