HUNTINGTON'S ARREST
He Seems Not to Be at al Con

New York, April &c. P.
Harrington, president of the
Southern Pacific, was not at all
concerned over his arrest,
which took place in this city
yesterday. when seen in his of

number of letters from friends
by this mornings mail, contain
ing expressions of sympathy,
which Mr.. Huntington did not
seem very mnch in need of.
This latest action" Mr..
Huntington said, abiding to
his arrest, lis one of many at
tacks that have been made
against me in the West since l
became president Of the South
ern Pacific road. At that time
and for some years before the
road had been a political in
stitution, but !. stopped all the
politics and in doing so drop
ped a great many meH from the
pay rolls who were simply
hangers-on. Ever since these
men have lost no opportunity
that came to them Of annoying
me in every possible way. As
far as my arrest is concerned ]
shall let my lawyers look after
the matter. It is one that con
Germs me but very little. I do
not think anything is behind
this movement but the action
of a lot Of disgruntled employees
whom we discharged during the
last strike and whom we have
since refused &c further employ
ment."

Short, but

What a story is that Of Linson, the
indianapolis engineer! He had an only
sister to whom he was devotedly at
tached. He placed her in school at Par
kersburg, W. Va. where she met Frank
Reynolds, and, as she thought, married
him. Three months later, when she dis
covered that she had been deceived by
q mock marriage, she committed sui
eide. Linson swore at her grave that he
would kill Reynolds. and for four years
followed him from place to place, once
to Europe and once to South America,
and thence back to the United States,
finally killing him in a hotel at San
Francisco. Linson was convicted after
three trials and sent to the p~enitentiary
for life, but public sentiment was strong
in his favor, and he was pardoned in
three months. philadelphia Times.

The Electric Candle.

The electric candle is in great request
in England for the lighting and decora-
ton Of dining and other tables. An in
genious device for lighting the candles is
provided by placing small pads under
the tablecloth, and taking the current
from them by means Of two pin points
in the base Of the candlestick. The can
dies of course are extinguished on being
taken from the table and are relighted
when they are replaced in the proper po-
sition. They are 80 arranged that the
bulb and the glass imitation Of q wax
candle can be removed, when the can
dlestick can be used for an ordinary can
die. When used with shades of colored
silk, the electric candle makes n Of
the prettiest additions to u dinner table
that is possible to imagine. -Machinist.

SLEEP REFORM.
The Man who Tried 1t and the Way Hn
Scheme Worked.

Colonel Henry Wattersou tells q story
Of an old compositor whose life had
been given up to hard work and the fol-
lowing Of eccentric ideas, II Of which
was that the human race slept too
much. He had several theories to ad-
vance in support of his idea. One Of
them was to cut down the usual num-
Der Of sleeping hours by graduation and
finally arrive at u state where, by prac-
tice, one would be satisfied with a much
smaller amount Of sleep than one was
getting.
To show his confidence in his theory
he began to practice the new idea as
follows: He usually slept nine hours.
He explained that he would cut this
down to So hours for each week that
passed until he had reduced his number
of sleeping hours to two, which, he
claimed, was all hat was needed by
any one.
The time went by, and the old fellow
had kept to his rule laid down and
finally reached the two hour time.
He went along for several weeks
sleeping but two hours daily, devoting
the time gained in reading and advo-
eating his idea. While there was a no.
ticeable decrease in his weight, he
seemed to stand it very we'll.
Then he began to talk of further re-
ducing the time, and when enthusiastic
talked of the possibility Of Il doing
without sleep entirely.
He set type and was an old hand on
the paper. One morning about three
weeks after he had reached his low
sleeping mark the compositor at the
case next to his noticed the old man
had dropped his head upon his arms,
that were folded over the case. 1t was
near quitting time. All the forms were
up, and the old chap was MOI disturbed,
He had gone to sleep. The Office was
soon deserted, with the exception of the
janitor and the sleeper. The %janito,
was instructed not to bother him.
The next day when the first men ar
rived he was still sleeping as they hat
left him and snoring so hard that HI
Jared the type in the case on which h
rested.
Some one told his wife where he was
and she concluded to let him sleep.
He slept on in that position for q
hours. Then they carried him to a bet
at home, still sleeping. He slept for 8:
hours, and when he woke up he had for
gotten how to set type and had to lear
to read again, although his memory wa
good in other respects. Exchange.

An Ill Wind, hut Of Use.

That it's an i'll wind that blows good
to nobody is oddly shown in connection
with the severe drought in Michigan.
The extremely dry season has brought a
largo proportion Of the farmers Of that
region to severe straits, but it has
brought a big boom to the manufac-
turers Of fire protection apparatus. The
ordinary supplies Of water have COM
pletely failed in many localities, while
almost everywhere water has become
scarce. It is learned that at least 100
towns in the state have been made to
realize their urgent need Of fire protec-
ton, and the fire protection companies
have forsome time past had more orders
than they could fll.-New York Sun.

THE PRODUCTION AND PRICE OF COT
TON DURING THAT PERIOD.

The Increase II Crcps Was Slow at First.
Prices and produc:!on-Sever Was and
Never VIII lie King.
The following interesting facts are
CLEANED from the just issued government
report on production and price of cot
ton for 100 years.
The first indication Of tho report is
that cotton wa not a crop Of any i'm
portance 100 years ago. The machinery
for handling it had not then been invent
ed. 1t had not yet begun to take the
place Of linen. Still less had it begun
to enable those too poor to use linen to
use another fabric in its stead. The
wealthy wore fine linen"-a synonym
Of luxury then, as it had been in Solo
mons time-while the poor dispensed
with sheets and shirts as indulgences
beyond their reach.
The total crop Of cotton in the United
States in 1871 was only $3.50 bales, and
in 1895 1856 bales. Last years crop
reached the enormous total Of 9,476, 435
bales!
The increase was slow at first. In
1880 we had not yet reached 200, 900
bales-that is to say, we grew almost
exactly one-tenth as much cotton then
as we do now.
By 1860 the production had increased
to 4, S61, 292 tales, which at the average
price then prevailing was worth about
1920, 600, 900. That was the time when
it was supposed that cotton is king"
The civil war pretty nearly put an
end to cotton production. In 1865 the
total crop was only 800, 900 bales, but
the price, SO. 80 cents, was the highest
ever known. Five years later the crop
had increased to 3,122,55 bales, and
the price had declined to %. SO cents.
From that time on there has been a
pretty steady increase in production and
q pretty steady decrease in price until
the ~stupendous crop of last year reduced
the price to an average of 6. 80 cents.
This is not the lowest price known,
cents, and it declined until in 1S45 it
reached the low level Of {. 63 cents, the
lowest average price for a whole year
that has ever been known. Five years
later, with a crop almost equal to that
Of 1S45, the price had risen to 1884
cents.
Another interesting fact clearly indi.
Gated by these figures is that wen in
the cotton fields slave labor was lest
profitable than FREQ labor. When mer
at the south reckoned upon the king
ship Of cotton, they sincerely believed
that it could not be produced by fret
negro labor. Yet production has steadily
increased since the slaves were freed
and last year the free labor Of the soutf
produced almost twice as much cottor
as slave labor ever produced.
At last years average price Of 6.2t
cents this single crop was worth abou
$3.50, 600, OoO.
Cotton never was king and never will
be, but produced by free labor it is al
important part Of our great republic
Yet it is worth to the country less tina,
one-fourth the corn crop. At presen
prices this years corn is worth the stu
pendous sum of S1,111, 1O4, 0O0!-Nev
York World.

SOARING A DOG.
An Experiment That Can Hardly He Callet
q lowing Success.

An Experiment That Can Hardly he Called
= Howiing Success.
Bill Jones Of Happy Valley came into
the Office the other day and said he had
found out a good way to scare a dog. He
said he didn't see any sense in wanting
to shoot a dog or be cruel to dumb brutes
by poisoning 'em when there were ways
enough to just scare 'em and in that
keep 'em from biting you. BE said, just
to show his good faith before we printed
the recipe in The News, we might 20
/ down street past Oldfeller's place and
try his dog once. So we started out with
him.
Jones took his umbrella, and as we
walked along he showed us how the old
thing worked. He asked US to walk just
ahead, and he played we were in the
position Of the dog and wanted Us to
growL. When we made a noise, he rush
ed at US with the umbrella, opening and
shutting it in rather startling manner
By and by we reached Oldfeller's
place, but didn't see the dog. Then
Jones growled like and shouted, "Sic
'em, Towser!' In about a second and
a half Towser came flying around the
fence corner, and Jones just had time to
lower his umbrella when the charge
was made. Towser made a rush like a
trolley car half a block ahead Of you.
Jones parted and worked the slide on
the umbrella handle. The next instant
the dog had a mouthful of q 81 umbrella
cover and two ribs out of the same.
Jones expectorated a mouthful of tobacco
juice in Towser's eye and then told him
he could have the remainder of the wa
ter cover, his remarks all prefaced with
adjectives never used in prayers.
We didn't return to the Office together,
and Jones said if we ever printed the
recipe or made any mention Of the ex-
pertinent the A. o. U. W s would lose
a couple of thousand ON us and have a
day off for a funeral -Fairhaven News.

Police In Russia.

The Russian godovoy policeman is
usually a very small policeman indeed
He makes up in department and dignity
what he lacks in size. His countenance
bears evidence Of unbending severity;
he is never seen to smile; he is minute,
but majestic; dirty, but dignifed.
His dress is a long HAITIAN, which the
ignorant would unhesitatingly pro-
nounce to be a dressing gown. A sword
ornaments the left side, while his legs
are incased in huge Wellington boots.
On his head he wears a small military
cap.
The policeman lives in his own little
house, about the size Of a moderately
large dog kennel, one Of which is plant
ed at the orn of each principal thor
oughfare. Here the little godovoy sleeps
and eats his meals and disposes Of the
spare time upon his hands. Buffalo
