The Jones Case.

Charlie jones is now beginning to
try his case in the newspapers. For
= spell he was content to air his vir-
zion Of tho affair on the streets. He
then sought refuge 10 the columns Of
the Gazette and News, but since a
Grand Jury has indicted him by a
unanimous vote, be begins to regard
the matter in a mole serious light and
he and Coffin are studying hard how
to best handle the defence.
At present an attempt is being made
to talk the witnesses into the idea that
they were laborinR under an hallu-
cination when they saw the brass
knuckles, but so far it has been i'm
possible to change the views Of a
single q Of them, and so far none OF
them seem to long for a Canadian
tour at some one else expence or to fol-
low Bill Travers and his thousand
dollars of hush money into the wilds
Of Arizona.

belonged TO his father, which WAS
made in 1882. John Drnuis has a
Masonic family relic which antedates
that by II years. He has hanging in

his fathers certificate Of membership
in Corinthian Lodge, Concord, Mas :,
which is dated in 1915. He has also
an elegant Chapter Apron that be-

evidently been executed about the
time when hand painting on silk was
first successfully accomplished, which
was sometime in the early twenties.

Birds. As far as looks go, the two members of this family are more alike tkan the Covington twins, one of whom was blond, the other pure brunette. Both species, the duck-mole and the porcupine ant-eater, live in Australia, and are never found beyond the adja cent islands.
 The duck mole owes its popular name to its habit of living and swimming like duck and digging long tunnels like a mole. Its snout terminates in an odd spoon-bill like duck. Adult males measure about IS inches from tip of tail to end of bill. The general color of the soft fur is deep brown on back and head, lighter on the under parts of body. Long hairs fattened at their tips and bent in an angle grow through the soft thick fur which lies close to the body, and these fattened hairs seem almost like the last remains of feathers. The bill and webbed fore feet are naked, but the bill, five inches long, is covered with coarse hair.
 The bill is formed by the extended
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1896-01-19

jaws, which are covered with a sensi- tive, naked, grayish skin, which is closely attached to tie underlying bones except at the lip-lil1e border and at the fold or frill at the base of the bill. When the animal is burrowing in the mud fer it's food this fold of skin Is turned back to protect the eyes and keep the fur from being soiled.
 Two small holes near the front of the upper bill are the nostrils, and this ar engagement is what enables the Plyta- pus (another of the ducksmole's namesl to lie hidden under water for hours if need be. He comes near enough to the surface so that the very tip of his bill is above water and he can breathe with out being seen by any but very ob- servant eye.
 This brother of the birds is quick to hear, although, like them, he has no external car The eyes are small but bright as jet. Their position, like those of a blacls-and-tan terrier, are clearly Indicated by bright tawny spot over zach eye.
 The bird likeness of this beast is.  shown as much in his claws as in his bill Each foot has five toes provided with strong claws, which are blunt on Ehe fore feet but sharp on the hind ones. On the frontfeet the web reaches beyond the claws, and when extended makes paddle four inches wide.
 The males have spur on the hind legs. This spur has small canal through it, which allows 8 poison from B gland in the loin to flow into any wound made by the spur. During the breeding season the males fight like gamecocks, and often tear and wound each other seriously.
 The house of the duck-mole is bur rowed chamber. exeavated by the moth er with very little help from the father, who is busy at the time using his spurs. The entrances are just little above or below water mark in the steep banks of ponds or quiet streams, these leading into long winding passages. As she duck-mole constructs her burrow she makes several chambers for tenn porary resting places, but the house or nesting place is fully 20 feet above water level. This nursery is only large

and to the stout quills which cover the whole upper surface of the body. The name Echidna. meaning viper the nat uralists gave because of the poison of it's spur. The porcupine ant-eater and duck-mole differ in structure and in many of their habits. but they agree in the habit of burrowing, and therefore have powerful forearms and shoulders.
 The ant-eater is not more than foot long, and the tiny tail is entirely hidden by fur and spines. The snout looks at distance like the slender bill of bird, as it tapers from three-fourths of an inch at the base to less than half inch at the tip. This creature has neither teeth nor cheek pouches, but both the tongue and roof of the mouth have horny spines which crush the insects before they are swallowed-the insects having first been gathered by the long sticky tongue.
 On the other hand, the ducl-mole has four teeth on each jaw, for grinding the food that it collects with it's shovel shaped bill and rough tongue. and slows away in it's cheek pouches.
 In the ant-eater we find the beginning of the pouch or pocket in which to carry the young ones, but this is only large enough for the newborn babies, who make their appearance in Decem- Der. Mothers have been captured with the young clinging with it's claws to the hair under her body, while hiding it's head in the pouch.
 Both of these brothers of the birds have mild dispositions in captivity, alfd have been tanned so that they will come when called and eat worms from the hand of their master They prefer working at night or on cloudy days, and creeping in their burrows for a long nap while the sun shines brightly. In captivity they are apt to scratch and growl most of the ight,-e-:dently thinking of their burrows. No doubt. as much as in them lies, they are homesick and long for their nests, be they ever so humble.
 It will not be many years before these two most strange birdlike beasts will become extinct. Natives and white men, wild dogs and tame ones, are all combining to drive these ancient links between the birds and the beasts from the face of the earth.

SOUTHERN "sTILL" SINNERS.
Some of the Characteristics Of the Noun
 tain Moonshiners

tain Moonshiners.
 He is neither bandit nor a high wayman, D disturber of the peace nor, in respect to formularies other than the revenue statutes, lawbreaker Least of all, perhaps, is he desper- ado. Within month of this present writing, a traveller on one of the Ten nessee railways entered the smoking car of the train. In the rear sat an off cer in charge of a. ''coyey9 of moon- sinners flushed by him on the mountain the night before. There were 12 in the party; they had yielded without re- sistance to one man, and-most singu- lar circumstance of all in the south the deputy had not found it necessary to put them in irons.
 At their trial the members of this party will doubtless plead guilty to a man, though a little hard swearing would probably clear half of them; they will beg for mercy or for light sentences, and those of them who prom ise amendment will most likely never be again brought in on the same charge, for the mountaineer is prone to keep his promises, amendatory or otherwise.
 A venerable judge. in whom judicial severity is tempered by a generous ad- mixture of loving kindness and mercy, and whose humane decisions have made his name word to conjure with among the dwellers in waste places, tells a story which emphasizes the promise keeping trait in tue mountain char acter X hardened sinner of the stills, whose first and second offenses were already recorded against him, was once again brought to book by the vigilance of the revenue men. As an old offender, who had neither promised nor repent cd, it was likely to go hard with him and he begged earnestly, not for liberty, but for communication of his sentence, which would send to jail instead of the penitentiary, promising that so long as the judge remained upon the bench he would neither make nor meddle with illicit whisky. He won his case, and was sent to jail for a term of il months. This was in summer, and six months later, when the first snows began to powder the bleak summits of Chil- | howee, the judge received a letter from the convict. Itwas simple-hearted pe- tition for a ''furlough" of ten days, pathetic and eloquent in it's primitive English and quaint mis-spelling. Would the good judge let him off for just ten days? Winter was coming on and the wife and children were alone in the cabin on the mountain, with on one to make provision for their wants. He would not overstay the time, and he would "certain shore' come back and surrender himself.
 His petition was granted, and, true to his word, the mountaineer returned on the tenth day and gave himself up to the sheriff. He served the remain l der of the sentence, and after his re- lease kept his pledge so long as the 1 judge remained on the bench.-Lippin- | t.Ntt'S

FAILS IN ITS DUTY.
The Shameful ouibbling of Congress in
 the Bend Matter.

the Bond Matter.
 The 54th congress is disappointing the expectations of the country in it's financial legislation. The president, by his stand on the Venezuelan qnes- tion, created the possibility of war with Great Britain. The one prime requisite of warfare is money, and plenty ot it. Somuch would be needed by the United States, and so rapidly, that it would be impossible to raise it by taxation. The burden would be too great. Hence It would be necessary to spread that bur den over the next 50 years or so, by bor- rowing the money-that is, by issuing bonds-to be gradually paid back.
 Now, country as great and as wealthy as ours is able to carry very large bonded debt. There would be no difficulty in selling the bonds-none whatever-if it were not for deficitin our monetary laws.
 That deficit is, that we have two sep crate and distinct things which the law calls a dollar. One contains a certain number of grains of gold; the other contains certain number of grams of silver. The law absolutely says these two things are equal in value, when the cold, hard fact is that one is worth only about half as much as the other.
 So far as the law can go. these two coins are held at a parity. The less valuable passes for as much as the other, because the government indi- rectly but quite effeetually, exchanges the less valuable coin for the more valuable one. This, however, is con dition of unstable equilibrium, liable to be destroyed by any great shock
 War would furnish such a shock to the eountry's finances. A gold dollar and a silver dollar would not pass for the same value. One would be worth about double the other.
 Then would come the question: (Which kind of dollars will the gov ernment pay when it pays interest on these bonds. and when it redecms them ?''
 Which ought it to pay, in order to be honest and keep faith?
 Evidently it should pay in wRieh- ever represents the value of the dollar when the bonds are sold. If man paid for a bond dollar on the gold basis, he ought to be paid back on gold basis.
 But though our dollars are now on gold basis, congress foolishly refuses to make the bonds payable specifically on a gold basis. In place of saying "gold' in the bonds, it puts in the word "eoin," which may mean either gold or silver.
 It is a shame to our lawmakers that they bubble about such a plain matter. There is neither sense nor reason in it. They are trifing with the national credit in leaving the way open to the possibility of bad faith and partial repudiation in the future. For they have shown in the bond bill which has passed the house, how they would do should they be called on to provide for borrowing money to carry on great vyar-Toledo Blade

ouTwITTED scHEMERs.
Free Silver Senators outgeneraled by the
 President.

President.
 The president outmanuevered the free silver scheners of the senate when he an ticipated by full day their real pur- pose. Instead of having an intention to authorize the president to issue anynew form of bond which the country would or could take, the true object of this lishonorable and perverse faction is disclosed in bald free silver coinage scheme.
 Had their bill been reported before the resident had announced his bond pur- chase proposal the credit of the country would haze suffered blow that might have staggered public faith for a mo- ment and made the financial institu- tions of the United States shiyer like itanch ship in a sudden squall. But the ship would have only shivered. It would have risen nobly on the gale and pursued the even tenor of it's way, the wind whistling through it's yards, i'm totent for harm
 It is cause for congratulation that even if the miscalled popular bond scheme fail, as it must in all proba- bility, the stealthy and treacherous ,ourse of the free silver swindlers can not even temporarily succeed. They have been outplayed. The president has left no ground for assailing his meth nds. He has turned aside from the pro- fessional bankers, as the Elkins resolu- lion suggested he should; and instead If seeking a secret contract with the controllers of the accessible gold stock Df the country, who could be bound to take no gold out of the treasury to ful- fill their contract for delivery of the yellow metal, he has offered the entire issue of new bonds in the open.
 At the same time, just in time to nullify the wretched tactics of the sil- yer swindlers, he announces that he reserves the right to reject any and all bids and to secure gold for the replen- ishment and maintenance of the gold reserve on the best terms that he can make for the government.
 The silver schemers in the senate can talk to doomsday over their dishonest and futile bill. The congress of the
 
 United States will not enact one line of it into law. By an impregnable major. ity the house will reject every vicious proposal of a financial nature. Mean while the president will admit that in calling the present bond outputs "pop- ular" bond issue, he merely quoted the terms, as he adopted the suggested methods, of his critics; and if the plan fail the failure is theirs, not his.
 Meanwhile also the gold reserve will be speedily carried up to the legal mark and beyond the reach of further injury. 1t may be necessary to do this through syndicate contract; and the president will not finch from that recourse to ac- complish his object
 The real purpose of the free silver plotters being confessed foiled- the country can now proceed with it's legitimate business and pay no further attention to free silver coinage plots CT plotters. Chicago Times Herald.
