characterized by many manifestations
of public wrath and excitement
In Barcelona the Spaniards have gone
TO the extreme of usirg violence upon
the consulate of the United States and

the building. No bodily harm was done
to anybody, except to certain members

police when the stones were thrown at
the United States consulate.
There seems to have been notable

the fact OF its being a Sunday, with its
accompanying absence of occupation

places for what amusement, entertain

afford a serious menace to the peaceful
relations of the two countries.
The Spanish authorities seemto have

special safeguards for the suppression of
disorders, and especially for the protec-

THE CROCKER CASE,
A Change OF Venue to Laramie
County.

COunty.
Evanston, Wy, March 5.-Judge Hay
ford arrived from Laramie last evening
and at 10 this morning heard argument
on a motion for change or venue in the
Croker case. Witnesses were produced
by the defense from the counties of
Sweetwater, Unitah and Carbon who in
substance stated that there was a decid-
ed opinion unfavorable to Mr.. Croker
existing in those counties, and to the
best of their opinion the defendant
could not obtain a fair and impartial
trial in said counties.
At the afternoon session Judge Hay
ford granted the motion for a change
of venue from Uintah county on account
of evidence of prejudice against the de-
PENDANT, and suggested Swe etwater
county as the place for trial. Judge
Lacy, on the part of the defendant
claimed that both that county and Car
bon were objected to for the same rea-
sons attributed to Uinta county, and pro-
ceeded TO introduce witnesses to sub
stantiate this claim. The witnesses be-
ing examined and cross-examined, coun-
sci for both sides submitted their case
to his honor, who at the evening ses-
sion, recognizing protest on the part
of the prosecution against Alban coun-
ty, issued an order that the case be
transferred to Laramie county for trial

wild Hog. Of CALIFORNIA; Bottom Lands

Wild Hogs OF CALIFORNIA; Bottom Lands
Are Very ForooIouS.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, of New
York, is fond Of talking about his ex-
periences in California, and during one
OF these variations, he said:
"The most exciting and risky hunt
Ing on the Pacific coast to-day Is
among the wild hogs, down on the bot
tom lands Of the Colorado river, fifty
Sr sixty miles south of the old town
OF Yuma. A party Of us was down
there last year, and / believe we had
adventures enough to thrill ou. sports
men friends for full generation" A
great many hunters in California in
dorse every word Of Commissioner
Roosevelt's opinion, and no hunting
ground for big game Is probably be-
coming more popular than this in the
winter time, when the climate along
the lazy, muddy Colorado river Is like
that Of July in the eastern states. Two
years ago an experienced sportsman
from Southern Illinois was spending
the winter in Yuma. He had pair Of
very fine, large staghounds, which the
owner claimed could run down and
kill any wild hog along the Colorado
river. One day he took the dogs and
rifle and went down the river nice
Vttle boar, just right for the oven. He
had not gone thirty miles, and land
ing, before he found a band Of hogs
and little pigs, and turned his dogs
loose on them when out of the tules
near by jumped an enormous boar, a
monster, who, with mouth wide open,
paying no attention to the dogs, made
for the hunter. The latter drew up his
rifle and fired, but on came the boar,
the dogs nipping him at every jump.
The hunter fired second shot, but on
came the beast. The hunter turned
and ran for a mesquite tree few
yards distant, the hog close to his
heels. He dropped his gun, jumped
for life, grasping limb of the tree,
just as the hog grabbed his pants, and
tore one-half of them from him, but
he was safe, just out of reach. The
dogs all this while ran grabbing the
hog by the hind legs, to which the
beast paid no attention. The mad boar
seized the bark of the tree in his
great tusks and tore it into shreds.
Finally he turned upon the dogs, in
stantly killed one, wounded the other
so that 1t died soon after. Then he
turned his attention to the tree where
the hunter sat. He guarded him until
it was dark. Twice did the man get
down and try to get his rifle, but his
foe was on guard and drove him back
up the tree. During the night the boar
left. Daylight came, and so did help.
The men had hardly reached the river
and got in their boat when down came
the old hog after them, in vain pur-
suit.--St. Louis Globe Democrat.

MUSCLE VS.. MACHINERY.
Facts Showing tho Man Power n Modern
Prime Mover Represents.

What a puny thing is muscular pow
err, whether animal or human, when
compared with the vast efforts exerted
nowadays by machinery was illustrated
recently by an English scientist, Sir
Frederick Bramwell Contrasting a
galley, for example-a vessel propelled
by oars--with a modern Atlantic liner,
and assuming that prime movers were
on-existent, and that this vessel was
to be propelled after galley fashion, he
proceeded thus: Take the length OF
the vessel as 600 feet, and assume that
place could be found for as many as
400 oars on each side, each oar worked
by three men, or 2,400 men, and allow
that six men under these conditions
could develop work equal to one horse
power. We should then have 400 horse
power. Double the number Of men and
we should have 800 horse power, with
1890 men at work, and at least the
same number in reserve If the journey
Is to be carried on continuously Con-
trast the puny result thus obtained
with 1880 horse power given forth by
large prime mover of the present day,
such power requiring on the above
mode Of calculation $4,000 men at
work and $4,000 in reserve, and these
to be carried in a vessel less than 600
feet in length. Even were it possible
to carry this number Of men in such a
vessel, by no conceivable means could
their power be utilized so as to impart
to it a speed Of twenty knots an hour
This illustrates how prime mover
may not only be mere substitute fol
muscular work, but may afford the
means Of attaining an end that could
not by any possibility be attained by
muscular exertion, no matter what
money was expended or what galley
slave suffering was inflicted.
Take, again, the case Of a railroad
locomotive, in which from 400 to COZ
horsepower is developed in an nipple
ment which, even including its tender
does not occupy an area Of more thar
fifty square yards, and that can attair
a speed of more than sixty miles al
hour. Here again the prime move
succeeds in doing that which no ex
penditure Of money or Of life coult
draw from muscular effort. Yorl

Tho White Corpusclos.

Wonderful as it is to think that our
blood teens with myriads of these in
dependent living blood cells, it Is yet
more extraordinary to find that they
resemble the animalcule in another re-
spect. The amoeba eats by enguldng
its food particles with its soft proto-
plasm body. In like manner will a
white blood corpuscle feed itself. 1t
will engulf and INCEST solid particles
which fall In its way and will reject
indigestible matters. That work which
we see the white corpuscles doing on
the microscopic slide 1t effects Within
the animal tissues. We know now, as
DR.. Waller knew in 1886, that, in virtue
Of its independent life, 1t can push its
way through the soft, delicate walls OF
capillary blood vessels and pass into
the tissues.
In place Of regarding these locomo-
tive powers as ways and works Of UNI
usual character we now see that they
form part and parcel of the complex
living mechanism. While 1t is the
duty of the red corpuscles to carry the
oxygen breathed into the blood to al
parts of the body, and conversely tt
convey the waste carbonic acid gas tt
the lungs, there to be exhaled, the func
ton of the white Corpuscles is of fal
more complicated character. They
perform duty which not only liet
very close to the maintenance Of thu
organism at large in natural sense
but which also bears an important re
lation to its preservation from agencie
that perpetually threaten it with dis
ease and death.-Harper's Magazine.

KING GEORGE.
The Lamentsd Monarch, Plainly OCT
IInad IN Our Silver Dollar.

Alnou On Our bllRer OOlluEs
The silver dollar Of this realm, which
Is Just now bone of much co$tsntlon,
Ia, when studied infinitely, very in-
teresting subject It has been said
that this coin contained upon It's CUR
face a place Of worship, several aid-
mails and other things, but the puzzle
worker, after a prolonged search, has
always given up finding them. But 1t
has been found that 1t does actually
contain portrait Of the long lament
ed King George III Of England.
Many have noticed and wondered at
the unnecessary prominent chin on the
face of Liberty, which adorns one side
Of the silver dollar. Perhaps there Is
a reason for it, and perhaps 1t is oAly
a vagary of the designer. At any rate,
Morgan, the man who modelled 1t, has
been accused Of facetiously crouching
in this figure certain characteristics
Of the defunct though august monarch
in Llberty's face, thereby making Of
1t sort Of puzzle card.
While Mr.. Morgan may have been
perfectly innocent in the premises,
nevertheless, upon close examination,
the design, partly covered as in the H.
lustration, there appears an unmistak-
able resemblance, a sort of caricature
of the deceased monarch. The prom
inent chin Of the goddess forms the
monarchs prominent nose, while her
