An Arkan.As woman.s Victory.

In the federal court at St. Louis Judge Priest gave Minnie Robinson a judge ment for S5, 16 against the United States Mutual Accident association.
 It established the proposition that a wom- an who Is engaged to marry a man has an in- surable interest in his life. Dr. E. O. Moore of Helena. Ark, had wife with whom he had not been living for several years. He met Miss Robinson, who was a teacher in the public schools there, and engaged to marry her when he got divorce. He then held a &, 900 certifi- cate in the Mutual Accident association, paya- ble to his two children. but he had Mss Robin son substituted as beneficiary. Some tune af- terward he 'was killed in quarrel with an- other doctor, over an operation each had been summoned to perform. Miss Robinson sued the company, wa ch resisted payment chiefly on the ground that she had no insurable inter- est in Dr. Moore's life In overruling the de- murrer Judge Priest held that her substitution as beneficiary was strictly in accordance with the terms of the certificate, and that the com- pany could not escape the contract; and this view he repeated in the opinion handed down the other day.

Awarded Damages.

At Little Rock, in the federal court. jury gave Mrs. Graenthal Sl1, ,99S. F against the Iron Mountain and the Pullman company.
 The jury gave her verdict of sl9 900. and then deducted s7,001.S3, the amount she col lected from Sl9,00O Judgment awarded her against the Graeter estate in the courts of Vlncennes, Ind. Never before was a more in- teresting case tried in the courts of this state. in which points involving the travelling public as well as common carriers were concerned AS the main question in the trial was as to the responsibility incurred by the defend . ants In accepting as Q passenger Q per- son of unsound mind. and one whose violent outbreaks involved danger to his llow-passengers, the argument turned upon that point. The litigation recalls the bloody butchery enacted by John w. Graeter passenger on an Iron Mountain train in Pullman car at Bald Knob, in February, 1891 Graeter's victims included Conductor Leach and Isodore Myer, the travelling representative of New York house. There was little doubt of Graeter's insanity, and when he ran amuck among the passengers with Q revolver the proof that his mind was unbalanced was conclusive. The suit was instituted by Mrs. Myer, who has since the tragedy married Robert Graenthal of New York.

Arkansas Burning Board.

An article appearing in number of county papers, under the above cap- ton, embraces the following sentences:
 There was controversy over S4SO cou- pons on Loughborough bonds belonging to the Fayetteville university. Treas urer Morrow paid them all along
 State Auditor Mills contends he had no right to do so, and the board has held the matter up for the present."
 As state auditor, my contention is, and has ever been since l became a member of the board, that the state treasurer had the same right, and it was, and is, as much his duty to pay the interest on the Loughborough bonds belonging to the permanent and sixteenth section school fund as on those belonging to the A. l. universi- ty. As member of the board of com missioners of the common school fund l have insisted that he treat all the Lough borough bonds alike, and have never interposed further objection to the payment of interest to the Fayette- vile university. The matter was not held up at my suggestion nor on my objection. At the meeting of the board referred to, the personnel of the board had changed. c. B. MILLa

A Brothers Sacrifice.

Charles Bradway, convicted in the Phillips county circuit court at it's last term. of larceny, was sentenced to one year in the penitentiary. But the gov ernor pardoned Bradbury the other day. A cow had been stolen and the evidence of the crime pointed either to Bradway or his brother-in-law. Brad way pleaded guilty to the charge to protect his brother-in-law, who had several small children, Bradway con- tending that it was better for him to go to the penitentiary than to take his sisters husband from her and her children. When these facts were brought to the attention of the trial judge he joined in a petition to the governor for the pardon of Bradway, which was speedily granted by Gov. Clarke.

Negro Drowned by a Mob.

About six weeks ago Jerid Shivers and two other negro men enticed three young daughters of white farmer away from home, in Coffey county, Ala, and detained them in the woods for week. The girls finally made their way home again, but the men who took them off could not be found, in spite of diligent search being made for them. The other day it was learned that Shivers was in certain house near Tabernacle, in that county, and a posse quietly organized at night and went there and secured him. He was taken to Pea river, not far away, a rope with sinker was tied around his neck, and he was thrown in the river and drowned. The other two have not been heard from.

Y. W. C. T. U.

All sensible people think alike on
one feature of the drink question they
agree in condemning habitual drunk
enness and sottishness as repulsive
and contemplate. But on the ques-
ton of moderate" drinking there is
almost as much divergence of opinio N
as there is latitude of Interpretation.
The first thing would be to ascertain
the standard of moderation; but no
standard has yet been fixed, nor, in
deed, would it be possible to do so
from the physiological standard; for
while a single glass may produce
drunkenness in one man, another
man might drink ten glasses and
show no signs of intoxication. "They
who have heard how large a quantity
of fermented liquor may sometimes
be taken without injury" says DIR.
John Cheyne, sought also to know
how small a quantity may prove in
furious, otherwise the question at
issue has not been fairly submitted to
their judgment" But why,
after all, should there be this search
for safe moderation dose If alcohol
while being the dangerous article we

be under certain conditions and in
certain quantities essential to life and
health; then, indeed, would it become
not only proper but an imperative
necessity for US to find out the right
way to use it. But it is proved and ad-
mitted by every one qualified to speak
about it, and who values the truth,
that alcohol is not necessary to either
life or health; that, on the contrary,
are served by its use, in any quantity.
Why, then, search for a standard of
for the use of a thing
at best quite valueless, and whose
most probable effect is the formation
of an appetite in every way danger

The Prize Pig Freak.

D. K. Persons, a farmer of Red
Mills, Ark, is the owner of a pig
that completely lays all other freak
porkers in the shade. It is per-
fectly devoid of hair, and has a
double set of eyes, feet like human
hands (even to the nails), one very
large ear and face which looks
more like that of a young baby
than it does like that of regula-
ton pig. From between the upper
set of eyes projects a proboscis like
that of a young elephant. This
proboscis has two holes through its
entire length, and it is through
them that piggy gets his supply of
air. Mr.. Persons values the freak
at $1,000, and his neighbors say
that he takes greater care of it than
all of the rest of the stock on the
place-Exchange.

A GRINDER OF WHEELS.
A Novel Exhibit at the Coming
Mechanics Fair.

One of the most striking exhibits
at the Mechanics Institute Fair will
be wheel grinding machine, put in
by the Msrket-street Railway Com
pany. 1t is to be an immense affair,
weighing many tons, and perform
ing work which the majority of peo-
pie in San Francisco have never
seen. 1t will be used to grind the
"treads" In the car wheels which
have been worn smooth. Before the
machine was brought into service,
after a wheel had reached a smooth
state, it was thrown away and thous-
ands were thus rendered useless.
By means of the machine the life of
a car wheel can be extended three
times as long as it used to be. In
operation the machine presents q
very pretty pyrotechnic display. A
sheet of flame six or seven feet in
length shoots out from it. The COM
pany proposes to grind a number of
wheels during the fair and the insti-
tute trustees are delighted with the
prospect.
Various exhibitors are getting
their locations into shape and every
thing promises to be in readiness for
the opening nights. f. Chronicle.

ONE GOVERNOR HAS NO VETO.
How the Ohio Legislature Tried
to Revenge Itself.

Since Ohio has been a State no
governor has ever had the power
of veto. This peculiar fact was
the result of a still more peculiar
cause. 1t dates back nearly 100
years to the days when General
Arthur st. Clair was territorial
governor of Ohio. In those days the
fee for marriage licenses was 50, and,
according to Law, 1t went into the
pocket of the governor. Two dol
lars was heap of money then and
was calculated to discourage more
than one lad who was apprenticed
and received only his board, or
such as had served their appren-
ticeships and were earning salaries
of 50 and SO a month. The legis-
lature consisted of a general assem-
bly, and a legislative council, the
latter corresponding to the New
York Senate.
''The general assembly conclud-
ed to repeal the fee grant, but not
wishing to deprive the governor Of
this considerable source of reve-
nue., two bills were passed, one
abolishing the law and another in
creasing the governors salary a
corresponding amount.
Governor st. Clair signed the
one providing for the increase of
his salary and vetoed the other.
The general assembly rose in its
might and passed the bill over the
governors veto; the legislative
council, for some reason, sustained
the governor. But revenge was soon
had. The first constitutional con-
vention was held shortly after, and
most of the members Of the terri
torial general assembly were mem
bers of it. The veto power was
abolished. Fifty years later, in
1852, another constitutional con-
vention was held, but all attempts
to incorporate the veto power into
the constitution failed. The 50
license affair was en-
graved into the peoples hearts.
And there you have the reason for |
never hearing of veto by an Ohio !

ORIENTALLUXURP AT HOME

The wonders of the Orient lay re-
vealed before the eyes of all who care
to see them, and that, too, without it
being necessary to journey to lands
across the seas.
The Oriental never does any more
work than is necessary, and when not
working, his engrossing care is to
make himself comfortable. In many
respects the art of living appears bet
ter understood in the East than in
our bustling Western world.
There is now hardly a fashionable
home that has not it's Oriental room
or rooms, or at least it's coy corner;
sometimes the latter is Japanesque in
effect, sometimes Turkish; but what
ever it is, be sure it is the result of an

1T WAS PAINTED TOO WELL.
Artist Blamed Mice For Eating His
Picture.

Artist Blamed Mice For Eating His
Picture.
How true it is that fame and for
tune both. hinge on some trivial cir
cumstance. The most successful artist
at the annual exhibition of the French
Salon one year was a young gentle
man named Baldwin Sewers.
Mr.. Sewers particular line is the
delineation of still life, and so he
painted a cheese.
After il was hung some malicious
person slipped into the gallery the
night before the exhibition and cut
round hole in the canvas, completely
removing the cheese. When the ex-
aiming committee were on their
rounds they came to the defaced pic
ture and angrily sent for the artist to
give an explanation. An ordinary in
dividual would have been overcome
with despair at the outrage. Not so
Mr.. Sewers. When the chairman
said sternly, "Where is the cheese?"
ne responded calmly:
"Alas, gentlemen, perceive l have
painted it with too great fidelity. The
mice have eaten it."

Niaeara's Great Water Wheels.


The three wheels now set and
completed for the Niagara Falls
Power Company were designed by
a firm of Geneva, Switzerland.
They consist of two Fcurneyron
turbines, one being set inverted
and vertically over the other, so as
to neutralize weight on the step or
bearing. Each of these twin tubes
is, moreover, made three stories
high or deep, and the speed gate
consists of cylindrical rim, NOV
ing up and down on the outside of
each wheel.
To further neutralize weight on
the upper bearing of the shaft, the
water from the supply tube is al
lowed to pass through the disk of
the upper guide wheels, and to act
vertically upward upon the disk of
the upper turbine wheel.
The disk of the lower guide wheel
is, on the other hand, solid, and
the weight of water upon it is sup
ported by three inclined rods pass
ing through it and the wheel cas-
ing. These wheels will discharge
430 cubic feet per second, and, act
ing under 1876 feet of fall from the
surface of the upper water to the
center between the upper and lower
wheels, will make $50 revolutions
per minute; at 70 per cent. eff
cheney they will give 5000 horse
power.-Cassier's Magazine.
