Ia compliance with the suggestions
Of the foregoing letter Mr.. Bennett
went to Humboldt Oh Sunday. Some
body had evidently given warning OF
his coming for when he arrived every
joint in town was locked tight and
the owners were Off fishing. In the
course of three or four hours, though,
he rounded up all the men whose
names were mentioned in the AttOr-
ney Generals letter and told them
what he was there for. They all
promised him that they would quit
the business, and he promised them
that if they didn't they wOald find
themselves called on to explain to a
jury the reason why. We trust that
these mutual pledges will be sruc-
pulously kept.

AN EXPECTORATOR.
Corbett Uses Fitzsimmons' Mug" for
a Cuspadore in a Bar Room
Broil.

1t was in a Philadelphia bar room
where Jim Corbett and his brother
found themselves one evening of
the past week, and they also found
their New leland enemy, Bob Fitz-
simmons, facing the big mirror, ad-
miring himself as he drank his fa-
vorite drink-cocktail. Jim Cor
bett went over to Lanky Bob and
said; "Look here, l understand
you have been talking about me
again, saying that tumbled off of
that bicycle to keep from fighting
you, and that you would pull my
nose when you met me. Now, |
will do the proboscis act myself. "
Here Corbett reached for Fits
snout, and, catching hold of it, gave
it vigorous twist Then the men
went at it in dead earnest They
were separated, when Joe Corbett
walked up to the New zelander and
said, 81 can whip you, myself" At
this Fitz grabbed the decanter and
hurled it at Joe's head. An officer
then walked over and arrested Fitz-
simmons, and while he had him un-
der arrest, Jim Corbett spat in his
face. The officer hurried the prize
fighter off,
The reports of the affair all lean
towards Corbett as having gotten
the best Of the affair,
When they meet at Dallas on Oc-
tober 81, they will doubtless remem-
Der this broil and lay aside the

THIRD TERM CLEVELAND,
William G. Whitney, Working His
Hoo Doc" Bag for
Cleveland.

William G, Whitney has sent for
a New York correspondent to meet
and interview him on Mugwump
Cleveland's chances for a third term
nomination He gave out column
Of "rot" and we clip one paragraph
to let our people see what big fool
Whitney is, Here is part of it;
Gas for the third term, ! can
only say this If you went among
the democrats of the country and
could ask every democratic voter
whom he preferred as president
wholly apart from any consider
ations of the feasibility or propri-
ETY. of a third term think ma
! iority of them would tell you they
preferred Mr.. Cleveland to any
other man as president. ] can not
conceive anything, except perhaps
a practically unanimous nomination
which would induce him to be a
candidate, although, in my judg-
ment, he is more popular today
than he ever was,
When Henry Waterson read
|
what Whitney had to say he gave
a different view, Waterson said to
an interviewer;
81 have no idea President Cleve-
land considers the idea of another
term, but If by any concentration
of miracles President Cleveland
should be the nominee he would not
carry a county in the United
States,
"There was never a Drawer, more
gallantly led'lttle band than the
immortal 3OG which stood for Grant
in that historic convention at Chlca-
go and when they failed 1t was
written never to be erased that a
third term is repugnant to the peo'
pie of the United States
cleveland, repeat, would not
carry a single precinct of the coun'
try"
Any school boy in the South can
tell whitney that Cleveland Is not
wanted and rather than see him
reelected would be willing to turn
the country over to the Oomanchc
Indians.

HE GOT TOO FRISKY.
JIM BROWN, A TRAMP, GOT GAY
AND CAME NEAR LOSING
HIS LIFE.
The Girls Had Been a Berrying and
Were not in Their Reception
Gowns,

Yesterday at the 7. G. Junction,
a tramp who says his name is Jim
Brown hit the village at 3 pm, and
proceeded to make his canvass for
something to eat. The first house
at which he made his call, was oc-
cupied by several young ladies of
the town who had congregated
there in the early morning for a
berry hunt aud who had just dis
robed themselves for the purpose of
cooling and chasing the chiger
down, that had fastened on them.
They had not bolted the door, and
when j, Brown, the tramp made his
presence known by rap and re-
ceiving no response but few gig
giles he took courage and opened
the door and then beheld a sight he
had not expected. He was equal to
the emergency however and be-
came profuse in his compliments,
and the girls being alarmed, broke
for the back door and made run
across the commons screaming as
they ran.
j. Brown saw that he had played
his part unwisely'and he, too, made a
bee line, in the opposite direction
Soon the inhabitants of the viii
lage were apprised of j. Browns
visit, and the crime he had COM
mitted had magnifed from few
vulgar compliments, to that Of at
tempted assault, etc.
Horses were saddled and men with
Winchesters went in all directions
to capture the man who dared to
insult the ladies, and he was finally
captured by Jim Kenney and car
ried back.
The citizens were very indignant
and talked about presenting him
with a "neck tie" and would have
done 50, had he remained in that
town until the shades Of night had
closed out all prying eyes from the
scene of the presentation, Several
telegrams were sent here to Depu-
ty Sheriff Payne to hurry down
there and take j. Brown in charge
or he would be dead man before
morning.
Capt, Payne went after him and
brought him to the city and placed
him in jail for safe keeping He
was carried back down there this
morning to answer for his foolish
ness and should be made to do time
on some rock pile,
The prisoner is a big burly fellow,

An Interesting Snapshot

Snapshot photographs have not in
frequently added valuable facts to the
stores of science. They are able to de-
tect and analyze motions too quick for
the eve to follow. A recent instance Of
the application of photography to set
tie a disputed question in natural his
tory is an experiment made on a voyage
from British Columbia to San Francisco
by Mr.. A. Kingsmill.
A large albatross had been following
the steamer and keeping pace with it
for several hours, and the wonder grew
amcng the watchers on shipboard as
to how the bird was able to fly so swift
" while apparently keeping it's wings
extended without tapping them. AS
this is a common manner of flight with
the albatross, the explanation has been
offered that the bird takes advantage
Of slight winds and air-currents, and
so is able to glide upon what might be
called atmosphere slopes.
AS the albatross sailed alongside Of
the ship, about fifteen feet away, Mr..
Kingsmill snapped his camera at it,
and obtained a photograph which as
tonished him and his fellow-voyagers
The photograph revealed, what no
eve had caught, the wings of the alba
tross, each some five feet long, raised
high above it's back in the act of max
ing a downward stroke. The explana-
ton naturally suggested is that, more
or less frequently, the bird must have
made a stroke of this kind with it's
wings, although the eye could not de
tect the motion, and that the camera
CHANGED to be snapped just at the right
moment.

A maIaria1 map of Italy has just
been issued by the Government Bu-
reau of Statistice, based on the deaths
during the years 1S90-'92, and showing
the intensity Of the disease by modi-
fications of color. In three years there
were $4,000 deaths from 1nalarial
causes, or 81 in 100000. The worst
districts, where the mortality is as
high as in 1000, are in Southwestern
Sardinia, Southeastern Sicily, the Pom
tine marshes, the district at the head
of the Gulf of laramie, and the south
eastern slope, from the Promontory
of Gargano south to the Ionian Sea.
Districts where malaria prevails, but
net so intensely as to be fatal, are the
lower reaches of the Pc, Grosseto in
Tuscany, the mouth of the Tiber, and
the district near Salerno and the tenn
pIes of PaeStum. In Rome itself ma
laria has sensibly declined; the deaths
in 1881 were $50, in 1892 only 139. The
general mortality from this cause in
Italy has remained pretty constant;
the average is 10 or 16 per 100000.

washunting rabbits, and his dog chased
one to hole in a hillside. The Indian
hesitated for a moment whether to dig
out the rabbit he had seen enter or GO
in pursuit of another. Determining
finally that one rabbit in q hole was
worth more than half a dozen on
rocky hillside, he got a spade and went
to work.
Before he had turned over half doz-
en- spadefuls of earth he had forgotten
all about the rabbit, for he made the
thrilling discovery that he was hand+
ling almost solid silver. The man
dropped the spade and ran to his en-
ployer with the intelligence, the latter
returning with him to the spot to see
for himself and verify the discovery
The rabbit escaped; at least it is sup
posed it did. for it enters no more into
the story, but its memory is preserved
in the name of the mine, which being
translated into English signifies the
Rabbits Den"
1t would have been well for the In
dian if he had escaped when the rabbit
did, for, according to the story the poor
fellow was murdered by the Spaniard,
who desired to keep the secret of the
mine, and was afraid that the Indian
might reveal it, and the Government
might step in and claim either the
whole or part of the proceeds. j

Traders Tokens.

During the sixteenth century the ma
tional coinage was sc satisfactory and
inconvenient that large numbers of pri-
vate traders and merchants were i'm
PEELED to have halfpence and farthings
manufactured for themselves. These
tokens" as they were called, were
made of lead, pewter, latten, tin, and
even leather, and could only be made
use Of as currency at the Shops OF ware.
houses Of their respective issuers.
Notwithstanding the endeavors made
during several reigns to put a stop to
the circulation of this unauthorized
coinage, traders tokens continued to
multiply to an astonishing extent, IN
til, in 1872, a proclamation was issued,
prohibiting their making or use under
severe penalties. From that date until
1877 the issue of private tokens entire
~ ceased; but in the latter year, owing
to the great scarcity Of government
copper coin, the Anglesey Copper Mines
Company struck and put into circula-
ton some 300 tons of copper pence and
halfpence. The bold example thus set
was speedily followed by other trading
firms all over the kingdom, and again
the government found it necessary to
take action in the matter, which it did
by issuing a new national copper coin
age from the Soho Works, Birmfng-
ham.
For some years the issue of private
tokens was thus effectually checked;
but in 1911, the authorized coinage
again getting scarce, the copper com
panies and others recommended the is
sue of patches of tokens. This went on
until the 9th of July, 1917, when the
manufacture was prohibited by act of
Parliament, and all tokens in currency
ordered to be withdrawn from circula-
ton by the 1st of January, 1875
