The Chief Justices Washington Home.

The chief justice and Mrs. Fuller
have concluded not to renew the lease
of the house on the corner Of Massachu-
sets avenue and Eighteenth street in
which they have resided for the past
few years, since moving from the Bar
Der house Oh Fourteenth street and the
Boundary. The chief justice, early in
the summer, purchased a summer home
at Sorrento, Ne. and with his family
has been spending the summer at that
place. Mrs. Fuller came to Washington
i'm advance Of the family to select a suit
able house in which to spend the win
ter. If the chief justice can find a house
that exactly suits him, he will become
property holder in Washington, as has
long been his wish.
1t will be remembered that when the
chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller decided
some years since to move from the
Boundary, they looked about for suit
able house TO purchase for their perma-
nent home in this city Their choice at
that time fell upon the large, square,
old fashioned house on the northeast side
Of Thomas circle, owned and occupied
by Judge and Mrs. Wiley.
Finally an offer from the chief JUS
tice for 500, 600 was accepted by Judge
Wiley, and every arrangement to move
into it was about completed when the
transaction was suddenly and definitely
brought to a close by Mrs. Wiley's re-
fusal to sign the necessary papers. The
reason for this was the house had been
home to her for so many years that
when it came to moving she could not
bear to break up all the pleasant associ-
ations Of the years by permanently part
ing with the property. Washington

AN INCH FROM DEATH.
And 1t Might Have Been the Most Hor-
rible OF Tates Too.

And 1t Might Have Been the Most Hor-
rible OF Fates Too.
We were sitting on the veranda Of our
bungalow ono evening in far of Bur
ma, R. a. and l, enjoying our after
dinner cherOO,. The waters Of the bay
Tapped lazily at the sands at our very
feet, for our house was "builded on
the sands" Of the shore All the world
seemed at peace only the PUNK.
PUNK Of the monotonous night bird in
the jungle and the occasional weird
note Of the jackal signaling in the dis
lance to his comrades was heard. The
moon had come up from behind a rocky
island just over i'll the bay, and spread
a food Of golden yellow light over the
silver topped breakers, rolling in over
a neighboring coral reef. 1t was so calm
and beautiful that it seemed that all
that was wicked and bad had gone ont
Of the world, and yet death lurked just
at my friends elbow as he pulled TN
consciously at his chcroot.
We had been discussing in a loisurely
manner something that had happened
in America. To prove some point my
friend arose and stretching himself lazily
sauntered into his bedroom to get pa
per bearing Oh the matter we had been
discussing. Usually lights were placed
in all the bedrooms, but this evening,
for some unaccountable reason-prob-
ably the moonlght-the servant had not
performed his duties. / could hear my
friend fumbling about Oh his dressing
table, and then suddenly he gave a quick
cry of horror and rushed out to the
light.
81 have been struck by snake, be
gasped, and his face was deadly pale.
"Where is it? Quick! Show me" l
exclaimed as whipped out my knife.
He held out his right arm. There was
no mark Oh the hand, which l examined
critically, but on the cuff Of the shirt
were two tiny scratchlike punctures and
two little globules Of poison sinking in
to the starched linen, and leaving sick
ly, greenish yellow mark.
'YOu We had close call, old man,
l exclaimed, with great sigh Of relief,
land think you need peg to brace
up your nerves. But first let us settle the
snake"
We found him cooled up on a small
mirror which lay on the table, and an
ugly looking devil he was, too, ready to
strike again.
He was a very poisonous snake known
as the Deboa RUSSELL, but after my
friend had finished with him it would
have been difficult for any naturalist to
have placed him in his proper genus

WHY PROSPERITY RETURNED.
Because the Drift OF Public Opinion Is
Opposed to a Silver Basis.

AUf OAiAb Va UNIV CPAAAcAA -
Opposed to Silver Basis.
Secretary Of the Navy Hilary a. Her.
bert delivered a strong sound currency
speech at Montgomery, Ala, on Oct. 4.
He said in part:
"What our currency shall consist Of
is a question to be decided on business
principles. There is a sentimental OBJ
lection to gold INDUCED in by some
that it is the money Of the rich-but it
does not seem to me that this should
have any weight because, in my opinion,
the poor man is entitled to as good mon
ey as the rich. There is a sentimental
argument in favor Of the silver dollar
because it is said to have been the dol
lar Of our fathers. 1t does not seem to
me that this argument should have any
weight, because it is not founded on fact.
"Tbe fair presumption is that neither
your father nor mine nor any other
mans father who died prior to 1873
ever handled enough American silver
dollars to keep him out Of the poor
house.
Il know Of no more effective way Of
Gripping the south and its industries
than for our people to clamor for the
payment Of debts already contracted
and hereafter to be contracted in depre-
ciated silver dollars.
Fortunately for this country the
effects of the panic Of 1898 are rapidly
passing away. Money has begun to flow
again in its accustomed channels Wheat
has risen in price, cotton has risen in
price, iron has risen in price, industries
are reopening everywhere, wages are in
creasing, and all this comes from the
fact that the capitalists Of this country
who are shrewd, farseeing and who
watch with keen eye the doings Of every
political convention have come to the
conclusion that the free silver sentiment
in the United States isnot strong enough
and not powerful enough to force this
country to a silver basis.
"They understand that there is no
free silver sentiment in the east, none
in New England, none in New York,
none in Maryland, New Jersey, Della
ware or Pennsylvania.
"They see that Republicans and Dem
ocrats in the state Of Ohio have pro-
nounced against free silver; that Re-
pubicans and Democrats in the state Of
Kentucky have pronounced against free
silver; that only part Of the Democrats
in the other states Of the west and south
are for free silver, and they are conf
dent, as l am, that the people of the
United States, whatever else may hap
pen, will in 1896 pronounce for the con-
tinuance Of sound money, for the parity
with gold Of every dollar Of silver and
Of paper now ahoat or to be foated in
the United States "

Self Lighting Gas.

How is gas to be made to light itself?
Dukes self lighting gas burner is sim
ply an ordinary gas burner with a small
tube at the side This is screwed into
the bracket Or other fitting, the gas is
TUNED On, and in from six to ten sec
onds the gas lights itself. This is bow
it is done The gas in issuing from the
burner passes over a small knob Ct por-
Gus material impregnated with a rare
and indeStructible metal, which as soon
as the gas passes over il becomes redhot
This red heat is communicated to a
small piece of platinum wire which i'm
mediately becomes incandescent and
lights the gas. The little black knob is
practically indestructible, as is also the
platinum wire. Therefore, as long as
the burner exists, the gas on being turn
ed on Will light itself. London Trans

The rumor is revived that Swinburne
is TO be made poet laureate That would
be a grand thing to do, especially after
his writing the magnificent verses on
Cromwell, reproduced recently in an
editorial column Of this journal No act
would win for Lord Salisbury the re-
gard Of English nonconformity as that,
and it would attest an attribute OF
greatness which not all have conceded to
the present premier Christian Work.

The ridiculous attempt Of the silver
contingent to commit the United States
TO free coinage-to the exchange Of 90
cents worth Of silver for dollar in gold
rivals in its absurdity and enthusiasm
the widest chimera Of romantic fiction.

Blood and Marriage.

The other day several members Of a
family, who were either deaf or dumb,
or both, came within the writer's cog
nizance, and it was ascertained that all
wero the offspring OF first cousins. 1t
has long been an established maxim that
first cousins ought not to marry. though
the rule is very often broken. The ques
tion Of the actual anatomical and physi-
illogical causes Of physical disabilities
in the offspring Of first cousins is we'll
worthy Of the most thorough inyestigs-
ton But if persons Of the same blood
and family, such as first cousins, all Of
whom must necessarily be more or less
similar in structure and function, marry
each other then their peculiarities will
tend, not to be diminished, but to be
increased, perhaps doubled. II people
would but bear in mind that the union
Of persons who have similar defects,
more especially il they are blood rela-
tions, tends to intensity those defects,
exactly as piling coal ON a bright nre
infallibly produces augmented heat,
they would save themselves much bitter
remorse and avoid the maledictions Of a
class of imperfect human beings who
not seldom curse the day they were
born. -London Hospital.

Harder Than Steel.

Des Moines has a modern Tubal Cain
in the person Of S h. Dawson, who
claims to have discovered the lost art Of
making Damascus steel. " He has ex-
hibited in Chicago some samples Of cut
lery made from the metal which had
an edge keener and smoother than steel
razor. This was demonstrated by mi
croscope and photography. The new
metal is a combination Of copper and
tin and two other elements which Mr.
Dawson keeps secret. A dagger made
from it looked like polished gold. Mr.
Dawson claims TO be lincal descendant
Of Ralph Hcggc, who cast the first iron
cannon made in England, and his an
cestors on both his fathers and mother s
sides have been workers in iron and
steel He says his discovery is partly &C
cidont, but primarily the reward Of years
Of labor, research and experiment He
claims that the new steel or hardened
copper is suitable for any kind Of cut
lery from a common pocketknife to the
most delicate surgical instrument and
that no deleterious oxide (ruSt) forms
on it under most severe tests. Any steel
drill forced against it when it is harden
ed will break. burlington Free Press.
