A curious tale ~ told by passengers AR
rived from Alaska on the steamer City Of
Topeka Of tbs discovery made by one Of
their number, a Seattle man named BrcB-
man, on Prince Of Wales island.
brennan went north some time ago with
"a small sloop laden with miscellaneous
cargo, on which he realized good profit,
trading among the natives Of the northern
coast. IL was on this expedition he chanccd
to visit one Of the least accessible villages
Of the Isolated tribes on Prince Of Wales
island, and while there 10 SEQ the mygtcri-
Gus divinity that Is supposed 10 keep watch
and ward over the tribe, IA former pricstcss
or queen who by some rare action Of the
peculiar soil In which her burial place was
made turned not into dust, but into solid
stone.
Years later the rude grave was uncover
ed by chance, and the pctrificd body was
found. The natives hailed IL as an omen
Of good that the body should have been
preserved, and carefully cxhuming IL en-
throncd it in a place Of honor IN the vii
lage, the idol so rescued being ever since
more honored than the oldest totem.
Brennan claims TO be the first white
man to soe the statue, but so far from feel
ing awe or being moved To alteration he at
once realized that II IL could be safely
transported 20 the United States 10 would
be worth "a mint Of money for exhibition
purposes. The pctrifcd woman. accord
ing To his account, stands as though fro
zen into granite while I'm the act Of direct
Ing some important movement Of her sub
jects. The features as well as the limbs
are clearly defined, as though life was still
I'm the body, and the whole aspect Of the
strangely preserved body Is almost regal,
although the goddess was mistress only of
a savage tribe.
So much did the commercial value of
the image impress the shrcwd trader that
few words incautiously dropped partially
revealed his mind TO the tribe, with the re-
suit that he was obliged to take to his
sloop and sail out into thickening storm
In order to save his life. He has now sold
his sloop and with the proceeds of the sale,
added to the profits OF his cruise, he pro-
poses to purchase a fast steam launch with
which to return and boldly abduct the un-
canny deity. He does not ask financial
assistance In the undertaking and refuses
all proffers of partnership In the enter
prise, thereby clearing himself of the i'm
putation Of fraud, the stone man fake hav-
ing been pretty thoroughly worked out
years ago.
According to present arrangements, he
will buy his launch on Puget sound and
return as quickly as possible to Prince OF
Wales island, waiting his opportunity to
land, seize the idol and escape before the
natives can discover his presence and frus-
trate his plan. The "stone queen" has,
according to the tales of the tribe, watched
silently over their declining fortunes for
upward of four centuries.-San Francisco

Court News.
There were three jewellers before Judge
Goff yesterday morning who caught 1t to
the extent OF s460 each. The fact that the
Defender had won did not softsn the
judicial heart a single cent.
This morning another bibulous tndi.
vidusl said "yes" when charged with rev.
elling and he got $3.50, because It costs
more to do that sort of thing on Sunday.
Billy Flanagan, who said he hailed from
Webster, Mass, had been acting very
strangely and SO he was adjudged insane
and sent to The State institution for such
cases.
Will Have Tent.
The Vets are working up an original
idea which seems to be good one. The
big canvass cover, made to protect the
Volunteer when on the cars or otherwise
exposed, will be 80 arranged by the ad-
dition of ropes and the help Of two or
three poles, that 1t can be also used as a
tent for the boys on the muster field. 1t
is big enough and will prove quite handy,
besides being uniq1e. Great heads.
New Machine.
A machine for stretching cloth laterally
will be patented this week By Otis Z.
Drown of SsylesvIlle.
Stretchers of this class, 1t is stated, are
well adapted to receive the continuous
web of wet fabric es 1t comes from the
washing machine or mangle, and at the
same time TO both smooth 1t by removing
the wrinkles and to increase It's width.
The fabric then may be passed to the cal
eudering mechanism.

rnr rEsr,LArrnr AND CONTEMPT


The Oklahoma senate experiences as
much trouble In roofing out subjects
for suitable legislation as the house Of
representatives. While the solons in
the house were struggling to fix a
ratio Of consent, at the rate OF SIS a
minute, the statesmen in the senate
were engaged in evolving specimens Of
punishment for contempt OF court.
The power 90 punish for contempt is
Inherent and cannot be altered by any
Legislative action. The supreme court
decued this question in the Burke and
Brown case aud Judge Bierer in rem
deriug his decision, which is given in
fun lu volume 81, OF the Pacific Repor-
ter, says.
The court knew the truth
fuluess or the falsity Of all the
things referred 20 as well, IL not bet
ter, than any witness could. 10 Ger
tainly knew its own court proceedings
as we'll as any other person No other
person could know them any better
than the court itself The courts take
I judicial knowledge of their own pro-
cgedings, and of whatever is done ia
court, within the limits of their jpris-
dictiou. 1 Ggeeul, Ev. 60 On this
subject the supreme court of Wiscon-
/ sin, IN the case OF Buckuer vs. State,

I therefore depends chiefly upon
whether we can take judicial notice of
