What Her Descendants Might Have Had

What Her Descendants Might Have Had
in Interest From Them.
A woman recently died in a neigh
bori ng town, and besides a grand
daughter and her cynical husband
she left a few relatives and $50 in
gold, with other things. The woman
was over 95 when she died, and the
$50 incl uded her wedding presents
Like many persons in those days she
held fast to the shining eagles, and
had had them for nearly seventy
years. When she died, of course, the
birds were distributed among the
heirs
The cynical husband. who was mar
ried to the old 1ady's favorite grand
daughter, unused upon the $50 in gold
and stripped his thoughts of all senti-
ment as he specialized in his mind
what might have been. He is not quite
through with his figuring yet, and
his constant query is, if grandmother
had only put the $50 in the bank
when she first got it what clutch of
golden eagles we would have nowi
He unused on this as he got ready on
cold mornings to go to work, and his
favorite topic of talk was suggested
as he jingled a nickel and bunch of
keys looking for his car fare. Then
he began to figure that money at six
per cent doubles in about eleven
years, and he lost sleep as he thought
how many times eleven years went
into seventy-seven years. When the
cynical husband finally referred the
question of his losses to a bank man
he learned that in fiftV wears the $50
in gold would have amounted to
81, 473. 60. Without figuring any
further on the problem the bank man
said he would easily consider that
$40, 900 was lost by saving the $50.

PROGRESS IN PHOTOGRAPHY.

Are Reproduced.

An Instrument by Which Natural Colors
Are Reproduced.
Pictures which were SO true to
nature in color as to almost lose the
effect of pictures in their reality were
plentifully used by Frederick E. Ives
to illustrate the lecture which he re-
Gently delivered before the Franklin
institute of Philadelphia on 1.-THE
PhotOchromoscope," the name which
he has given an instrument invented
by himself and by means of which
the first completely satisfactory re-
production of the natural colors by
photography has been achieved.
In this instrument, not much larger
than hand stereoscope, specially
made photograph which con tains no
color, but a record of colors in the
light and shade of three separate inn
ages which are arranged in the ire
foil, reproduces to the eye all of the
colors of the object photographed.
On former occasions Mr.. Ives showed
a single instrument. for which both
the Franklin institute and the Photo
graphic society have awarded him
gold medals. But he showed a stere-
oscopic photochromoscope in which
the apparent sol1dlty OF the image,
combined with the correct rendering
of the natural colors, produces an IL
fusion of reality which all previous
pictorial methods have failed to give
The latter portion of Mr.. Ives
lecture was devoted to the projection
of permanent color prints from photo
chromoscope negatives in the form of
lantern slides upon the screen. Be
sides many familiar still life objects,
the colors of which were we'll known
to the people present there were views
of scenery in Paramount park and in
Switzerland, Italy, and the Yellow

BROOM SWEEPS CLEAN
When 1t Is New-Police Force
Makes Vice Flee.
CLEANING OUT THE HAUNTS

Full Time ia Jail.

Of the VfcEOus-HereafterT Those Who
Are Convicted Must Serve Their
Full Time ia Jail.
Although the new police force has been
in effect less than week. the echoes of
its work are already heard in the circles
of crime in the city.
The criminal classes are beginning to
observe that they don't like the new po-
lice force.
Already the work of extinguishing the
disorderly and liquor selling element is
on its way, and since Saturday an entire
block of the disgraceful district on Kan
sas avenue known as ''Smoky Row." has
been raided and the residents lodged in
Jail
The first was Oscar Long and his wife
who had their trial yesterday morning
and were fined $50 each. Two of the
three gills who were found at the Long
place were fined $25 each and the third
was released only because of the condi-
ton of her health.
Last night Mrs. Tom Hair, Andy Leon
ard and Rachel Beaver were arrested in
the same district charged with selling
liquor Their case will be heard Friday
morning in the police court.
A great many other places, not only on
lower Kansas avenue, but all over town
will soon be served in the same way.
They are all being watched and evidence
is being gathered that will convict be-
fore the places are seized.
Pete Callahan and Harry Shaffer were
also arrested by the police last night at
Callahan's rooms in the third story at
6O6 Kansas avenue. Shaffer was arrest
ed for drunkenness and will be tried to-
morrow. Callahan was arrested for sell
ing liquor. and will be tried Tuesday.
There is another move being made in
the right direction, and that is the re-
tention of criminals at the city jail until
they have served their entire time. I'm
der former police administrations pris-
oners committed for five DAYS were near
ly always released in three, and as the
criminals would rather serve three days
than pay So. the cash revenue to the city
was very light.
The same rule was also applied to
prisoners with longer terms.
Chief Wilkerson says, however, that
hereafter prisoners will be held their en-
tire time. This will improve the situa-
ton materially. 1t will induce the cash
payment of fines and reduce the indiffer-
ence to punishment.
The remaining part of 'Smoky Row.
will be raided this week and the only
thing in the way of Wholesale raid of
the entire town is the lack of Jail room.

TROUBLE FOR SETTLERS.
Many Ways of Embarrassing Settlers on
Public Lands.

Many Ways of Embarrassing Settlers on
Public Lands.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.-Under a con-
struction placed upon section 3 of the
act of September 90, 1890, relating to
land grant forfeitures, purchases of
land were allowed to be made by parties
as settlers without requiring them to
show actual residence, they having met
other requirements as fencing, cultiva-
ton, etc In subsequent decision of
the secretary of the interior made Nov.
3, 1898, it was held that actual residence
must be shown and under that ruling
many entries are now held for cancella-
ton, although the entrymen stand on
precisely the same footing as those who
have long since received patents.
The house committee on public lands
deeming this unjust has reported bill
giving those entrymen who, from any
cause, may have been unable to complete
purchase. the same rights and privileges
accorded to their more fortunate breth-
rem. The bill is favored by the commits
sioner of the general land office, but is
opposed by the secretary of the interior,
who holds that 10 accord to persons that
right to purchase by merely taking pos
session of and improving such lands
without requiring residence thereon,
would be to give privilege that is not
conferred upon the homesteader as to
any other part of the public domain.
If you want heat and lots of it, order
load of Frontenac lump or egg coal. For

A DIssEcTING TRIUMPH.
The Remarkable Work of Medical Col
lege Professor.

The Remarkable Work of a Medical Col
lege Professor.
Everyone knows that nerves in the
human body are almost without num-
Der, threading every part of the sys-
tenn The difficulty of dissecting to
preserve these nerves can, therefore,
be imagined In a glass case in the
museum of Hahnemann college, Phil
adelphia, is shown the entire human
cerebro-spinal nervous system, every
nerve arranged in its proper order,
and all intact.
This remarkable piece of dissecting
is the work of DIR. R. B. Weaver, one
of the college professors. 1t took him
twelve months, working eight hours
a day, to accomplish the work. He re-
ceived in recognition an Official ribbon
from the Worlds fair, where the work
was exhi bited. Every nerve emana-
ting from brain and spine has been
preserved and the subject looks like
a fish net in the case. Some of the
nerves are quite thick and others as
fragile, seemingly, as a spider web.
