Texas:
Dear sir-The Honorable secretary of

! law authorizes the secretary OF agricul-
I ture to quarantine animals whenever
In his judgment 1t is essential TO pre-
vent the spread OF pneumonia,
tuberculosis. or other dis Eases from one
state to another" II has been the
opinion Of our legal advisers that in
order to enforce this quarantine We

us in establishing n quarantine line
across a state. 1t became our duty to
| establish line at the state border.
| Hence the necessity for drawing line

ment 1t has been adopted and an order

some picture of the present state OF civ
ilization among the Indian tribes. Says
DR.. Eastman:
1.-THE great trouble with our young men
today is. that they have been precipitated
into modern civilization with such sudden
ness that they have absorbed most of the
evil of it and little of the good. They are
mostly drunkards, rushers and idlers, and
are physical and moral degenerates. They
are not the same men that the Indians of
my day were. Then our young men thought
nothing of ten and twenty mile runs, and
il was a common amusement with them to
raco and beat fleet ponies across the
prairies. Today you can scarcely find an
Indian who can run as much as two miles,
while in the old days it was nothing 10 do
from fifty to seventy miles a day in foot

days and nights without food. The differ

Indians of today only serves to illustrate
the fact that the race has degenerated
physically and morally since civilization
hss been thrust upon it.

If the Indian is, it is good thing. What

CONSUMMATION OF DETAILS
History of the Movement that Resulted
in Fine fiostelry
,ONSUMMATION OF DETAILS
1t Is Expected that the Doors of This Caravan
sary Will Be Thrown Open on WASH
ington's Birthday

Some weeks ago Colonel Ritchie of
Riverside, man who has conducted the
Arlington hotel of that city very success
fully, learning of the public-spirited cit-
zens of Redlands who we're anxious and
willing to put their hands deep into their
financial pockets, made formal PROPOSE
ton for the building of a tourist hotel.
From that proposition a tangible and
effective arrangement was made whereby
was put into action the forces which have
given rise to the present structure, from
which the readers of THE HERALD can form
some opinion by the cut here presented.
A committee of live business men met
Colonel Richie and agreed to raise him
$4,000, and Colonel Richie more than
met 'hem half way. He at once agreed to
put $50 900 more to that sum in building
and equipping a hotel, that while not COST
ing as much as Raymond or a Coronado,
will be unique in its plans and something
entirely and wholly different in it's appoint
mentS. The final contamination of the
details of construction and the raising of
the Redlands bonus dates at about Novem-
ber 10th. The selection of site having
been decided upon, Colonel Ritchie lost no
time, and his force OF men began on No.
vember 26, 1895, the work of razing to
the ground that old landmark, the Wilson
q Berry block, situate on the corner of
Cotton avenue and Orange street. !.
Work progressed steadily, night shift
doing work md. the glare of elec ric
lights put up for the occasion, and on De-
cember 10th the first work on the new
structure was actually begun.
Colonel Ritchie has no idea but that he
will be enabled to throw open to the public
this new caravansary on February %,
-Washington's birthday.
1t is more than worthy of mere passin0
mention to note and give to the public the
names of the Redlands committee, who
took neither time nor money into con-
sideration while pushing to q final issue

Agreeable to the committee. Colonel
Richie selected for his architect A. w.
Boggs of Riverside, a man who has been
identified with Southern California for
many years, and whose ability as archi-
tect and contractor have met the approval
of those who have been SO fortunate as to
select him for work in his specialties.
From the starting point Colonel Rltchle
has deviated from the contract somewhat
by enlarging the plans and adding 10000
more to the enterprise, so that instead of

Hot POLLS for Breakfast

An enterprising baker has introduced a
new feature in the home life of certain
class of the people of New York. He has
fitted up several covered wagons with oil
stoves and ovens. These wagons make the
rounds every morning of the uptown dis
trcts in which the cheaper flats are located
and supply the tenants with hot coffee and
hot rolls for breakfast. For regular patrons
who desire it the wagons call at certain
stimulated hours. The scheme has proved
a great convenience for small families who
do not keep servants and are satisfied with

Dangers OF Piano Piaying

A French scientist OF note maintains that
a large number of the nervous maladies
from which girls suffer are to be attrib-
uted to playing the piano. He shows by
statistics that of 1000 who study this
instrument before the age of II no less
than 600 suffer from nervous disorders,
while of those who do not begin until after
there are only 200 per 1000. and only
100 per 1000 among those who nave never
worked at it. The violin, he says, is
equally injurious. AS a remedy he sug-
costs that children should not be permitted
to study either instrument before the age
OF 16, at least, and, in the case of those
possessing delicate constitutions, not till a

THE BOND INVESTIGATION.
Secretary Carlisle will be Examin ed
Monday-Will See Morgan
in New York.

Washington, D. c., June 12.-The Sen
ate committee appointed to investigate
recent bond issues decided at a meet
ing today to ask Secretary Carlisle to
appear before it at 1870 o'clock next
Monday morning. A dispatch to this
effect was sent to the treasury depart
ment and Mr.. Carlisle answered that he
would be present at the appointed time.
The meeting today was attended by
Senators Harris, Vest, Walthall and Platt
and was held for the purpose of arang-
ing the general programme of the in
quiry. The talk indicated that the mat
ter would be pushed to speedy con-
clusion, in order that senators might
make their summer arrangements without
being subject to the call of the commit
tee.
1t was the understanding that after ex-
aiming Secretary Carlisle next week,
the committee would proceed to New
York, the middle or latter part of the
week, to take the evidence of J. P. Nor
gan and others there The hearings will
be open to the public. At the meeting
today the written statement, submitted
by Mr.. Carlisle, already published, was
read aloud and commented upon by the
various senator's, but no votes or other
steps were taken which would indicate
the sentiment of the committee.

HARVARD MEMS RIOT.
Celebration of Baseball Victory
Over Princeton Leads to
Trouble.

Boston, Mass, June 11.-Three thou
sand Harvard men. encouraged by the
phenomenal event of a Harvard victory,
fought 100 policemen in the streets of
historic old Cambridge last night. 1t
was the biggest riot that the university
has ever seen.
The moment it was known that Har-
ward had won it's baseball game with
Princeton there was a roar that shook
every window for mile around. Then
all was pandemonium. In half an
hour there was on foot the biggest cele-
bration ever known at Harvard. The
whole city was a blaze of redire, while
all kinds of fireworks spurted in every
direction, and the evening was made
hideous with the blasts of thousand
giant horns. A mammoth procession
square. The police. experimenting trou-
BILE. were out in extra force. The ma
jority of the Harvard men were armed
with revolvers and took up a running
volley. firing into the air.
While cheering for the individual
members of the team was going on. Clay
Stone Briggs. a Harvard student from
Galveston, Tex, was arrested. He had
discharged his revolver in the very face
of policeman.
AS the policemen were hurrying him off
the mob took in the situation and there
was mad rush of 1000 enraged stu
dents to the rescue. A line of Harvard
men jumped on the backs of the police
men, who still chung to their prisoner.
Arthur T. Pilling. a student from Wash
ington, was the first to tackle an officer.
He was promptly knocked down.
Goldwaith Dorr of Orange, n. j., stu
dent, jumped on another policeman. He
was seized and arrested. Many police
men and students received wounds.
Three arrests were made.
For an hour 5000 mad students sur
rounded the station clamoring for the
release of their comrades. The chief
of police and prominent citizens ad-
dressed the students and urged them
to dispense. The students paid little
attention to the officers and refused to
dispense until the three men who were
arrested had been released on bail. They
then departed, cheering as saey left the
police station win the three heroes
mounted on the shoulders of the mob.

President Asked Congressman Why
They Didn't Apply Their
Own Remedy.

Gallup, N. NJ, June Ex-senator Ste
phen M. White of California passed
through here today on his way from
Washington to his home in Los Angeles.
On the Cuban question Senator White
said: ''It is not likely that anything de-
cisive can be done at present to assist
Cuba The President told the committee
that waited on him to urge executive
action that the mere recognition of bellig-
erency would be of little benefit and that
armed Intervention only could put an end
to the state of affairs now existing in the
island. He told the committee that Con-
gress had the power to apply that rem
edy and asked the members if they were
willing to assume the responsibility. Of
course they were not willing. AS the
President cannot and Congress will not
authorize armed Intervention there is lit
tie prospects of immediate relief for
Cuba"
Senator White denies that he is can
didate for either president or vice-presi-
dent on the Democratic ticket.

He has asked them to go into the fight

make today on Mr.. Manley's statement

Western congressman from the four new

bills from this session of Congress. The
House policy has been to report no bills

their efforts in that body the Western
men turned their attention to the Senate
They secured amendments to the sundry
civil bill and those items were the hard
est fought between the two houses and
threatened to prolong the session for
some days. Senator Dubois. who engi-

amendments. but the Western senators

on any conditions and finally the House
