ScObey and Nero.

The most odious character in his
tory is illustrated by the Emperor
Nero fiddling. while Rome the capital
of his empire was burning.
Though Nero's evil mind could en-
Joy the brilliant splendOr of the scene,
he did not interfere with those who
were trying to save their homes.
There was something grand and
awful when the imperial city, which
had withstood attacks of barbarian
hordes, cent sheets of flame heaven
ward and palaces and temples shrunk
before the devouring flames into ashes
the terror OF the people escaping
from falling dwellings aroused only
the demon in monarch's breast.
But what tyrant has laughed at
want and poverty?
All around us are those who are
struggling for food to live, and cloth
ing to hide nakedness.
Well may you scoff and laugh,
Olympian; more Sheriff's sales to fill
your columns and replenish your cof-
fers.
1t is time for you to be jocular-that
huge tax list contains none of your
property.
You are not setting those types at
hard times prices? Who engineered
the bill through for you to profit on
distress?
Fathers and mothers, husband and
wife, watch the lines that announce to
the world the knell of your hopes
the confscation and sale OF your home.
Toll to redeem the same an additional
week for the Oiympian's extortionate
price, and then vote for Scobey for
Governor and fill the balance OF the
offices with the rest of his wrecking
crew.
Laugh on, Scobey! Nero's pleasure
was not heightened like yours by mer-
cenary motives and individual gain.
When Chicago was burning it was
impossible to check the flames until
some OF the miscreants who were ap-
plying the torches adorned telegraph
poles.
A like and wellmerited punishment
would be preferable to our spoilers.
Their sentence is the slow torture and
crucial implement of witnessing and
partaking in our prosperity as private
citizens.
Toady to and fawn upon your mas.
ter Sapp! A day or two ut most,
perhaps the leavings OF the office he
gave you, will pay your taxes.
Spew and slime upon the banker,
" Soppicus"! Display your ingrati-
tude while you advertise my capacity!
Laugh on at misery. Scobey! Scott
on at restitution, Scobey! But you
will not do either as chief magistrate
OF the nominally great. but grossly
impoverished, State of Washington.

at Port Townsend, last Friday. He

Chicago had no water in sight, and
that its biggest buildings were about
as tall as those OF Port Townsend and
Victoria. His general fund of infor-

was obliged to order his return from

A ROADWAY TO WOODLAND. - 1t
looks as if our local bicyclists would
be successful in their endeavor to
secure some action to make a passable
road at all seasons between this place
and Woodland. At a meeting OF
wheelmen, Monday night. l.. P. Que
lette, was appointed chairman of q
committee OF five and empowered to
select the other members of the com.
mittee, to present the matter for con-
sideration to the County Commits
sioners. 1t is proposed to grade q
road bed and gravel it to the depth of
eight inches. 1t is to be made wide
enough for wagon road, and several
farmers have volunteered aid with
their teams. 1t is estimated that the
proposed improvement will cost about
$500 per mile and as the distance TO
be improved is about about three
miles, it is necessary to raise in money
and labor nearly $1,000. A track
along the roadside for immediate use
is now being made by voluntary labor
of the wheelmen.

Supreme Court Decisions.

The following decisions have been
filed by the Supreme Court:
The State, respondent, vs.. Halbert,
appellant, from Snohomish county
reversed. In this case the Superior
Court found the plaintiff guilty of in
cest with his daughter Emma, l6 years
of age. The age of consent was the
question To be determined, as it was
not proven that force was used or that
the crime was committed against the
girls will. Halbert's counsel claimed
the age of consent is II years, and the
prosecution that it is l6 years. Sec.
%, Hills code, makes the age of con-
sent II years. This was formerly Sec.
Sl2 of the code of 1881. The State
claimed that. by the act of the Legis-
lature of 1856, the age of consent was
changed to 10 years; the defense
showed that the act of 1856 was void,
because its object was not expressed in
the title, as required by the organic
law OF the territory. This contention
is sustained by the Supreme Court,
and judgment is reversed and the
cause remanded, with instructions to
the lower court to sustain the demur-
rer to the information.
Bessie j. l. Savage, appellant, VS..
Robert A. Graham, respondent, from
Thurston county. This was test
case, wherein the appellant challenged
the respondent, who is City Clerk.
claiming the right to register as a
legal voter last June. No appeal bond
was given or filed within the time pro-
vided by law. Judge Dunbar, how
ever, dissents, and holds that the case
ought to be tried on its merits.

Pocket EleCtricitN.

\ number of devices have lately been
invented by which an electric lamp can
be carried about and used like a candle
or lantern. Some of these are complete
in themselves, carrying a battery that
operates only when the lamp-which
may be of almost any desired shape,
that of a pocket flask. for instance-is
held in particular position. When
thus held the acid in the reservoir
reaches the battery poles. and the in
candescent light blazes out. On revers-
ing the lamp the light is extinguished.
In other cases a stronger light is pro-
vided by means of separate battery
which may, however be carried in the
pocket. 1t is proposed to substitute this
form of portable electric lamp for the
ordinary lantern in the ambulance serv.
ice of the French army.

Driver Was Literal.

The manager OF one of the Chicago
express companies tells good story.
I'VE have big. strong Irishman driv-
ing one of our teams. Yesterday he was
sent with Il barrel of flour TO the home
of woman on the South Side. Arrived
there. the driver took the barrel on his
back and started up the stairs, his ex-
press book in his coat pocket.
Half way up the second flight OF
stairs the Irishman came upon a wom'
an. scrubbing.
"'Will ye be after tellin' me where

81 am Mrs. McGowan," said the
scrubber-a statement which was ir

"'Where will l lave this barrel of

Take it up as far as youse can,
and thin put it down. I'll attind to it,
replied Mrs. McGOwan.
SO he went on up, and when there
were no more stairways to conquer he
looked about and saw a ladder leading
through an open scuttle to the roof. Up
this ladder he climbed, out on the root
he stepped and then, finding he could &c
no higher without a balloon, he deposit
ed the barrel and came down.

Do Horses Weep?

Do horses weep? is a question dis
cussed by the Admiralty and Horse
Guards Gazette. 1t tells us that it is
a well-authenticated case of horses
weeping during the Crimean war. On
the advance to the heights of Alma
battery of artillery became exposed
to the fire of a concealed Russian bat
terry, and in the course of a few min
utes it was nearly destroyed men and
horses killed and wounded. guns dis
mounted and limbers broken.
A solitary horse. which had appar-
emily escaped unhurt. was observed.
standing with fixed gaze upon an OBJ
ject close beside him! this turned out
to be his late master, quite dead.
The poor animal, when trooper was
dispatched to recover him, was found
with copious tears flowing from his
eyes: and it was only by main force
that he could be dragged away from
the spot, and his unearthly cries to get
back to his master were heartrending.
Apropos of the intense love that cav.
airy horses have for music, CORE.
spondent of the Gazette writes that
when the Sixth Dragons recently
changed their quarters mare belong
ing to one of the troopers was taken
so i'll as to be unable to proceed on the
journey the following morning. Two
days later another detachment of the
same regiment. accompanied by the
band, arrived. The sick mare was in a
loose box, but hearing the martial
strains, kicked hole through the side
of her box, and making her way
through the shop of tradesman, took
her place in the troop before she was
secured and brought back to the sta.
bic. But the excitement had proved
too great, and the subsequent exhaus
tion proved fatal,-Philadelphia Times

Curing Deafness by Noise.

According to Popular Science News
a well-knOwn aurist has invented an
instrument for curing partial deafness
by the aid of sound. His instrument
produces a sustained sound running
through several octaves. The sound is
conveyed into the patients ear through
n telephone tranSmitter. AS soon as the
particular pitch of sound that the ear
hears imperfectly has been ascertaned,
that note is concentrated upon the ear
drum for certain period every day.

Do Fish Take Ballast?

1t Is asserted on the authority of the
captain of steam fishing smack in the
North Sea that Goldfish, at certain times
of the year, take sand into their stom-
achs for ballast" This, according to
the captain, is done when the fish are
about to migrate from the shallow wa
ter covering the southern banks Of the
North Sea to the deeper water farther
north. He says that he has often OBJ
served that fish caught on the southern
