MIGHT DO FOR MISSISSIPPI
But the United States Senate Draws the
Line at Manslaughter.

Washington, Dec. 30.-A sub-commit-
tee of the senate committee on judiciary
is investigating charge of manslaugh-
ter which has been made against Judge
Charles 3. Howry of Mississippi, who
has been nominated to be judge of the
court of claims. The opposition to con-
firmatiOn filed its charge before the first
meeting of the session was held by the
committee and while strong influence
was brought to bear to have the charge
ignored and to secure immediate con-
firmation, the more conservative men,
berS of the committee asked for delay IN
order 10 investigate the facts.
The friends Of Judge Howry admit
that he did kill man, but claim that the
homecide was entirely justifiable Howry
and lawyer named Sullivan quarrelled
over case at Oxford Miss, and
Howry's friends say that as both were
men of courage it speedily became
question of which should die. Both men
armed and both drew their weapons.
Hence they contend that Howry acted
in self-defense. An Oxford grand jury
investigated the case and took this view
or IL, refusing to return true bill
against Howry. The killing occurred
about ten years ago and Howry has been
appointed to and confirmed in three fed
eral offices since. He is now assistant
in the Office Of the solicitor general. Sulli-

euffocated by SULPHUR

While two men were hunting on the
Yellowstone river, they saw in a Small
gulch a grizzly bear, curled up as il
asleep. Being men OF experience, they
climbed up the side of the gulch and,
when out of reach, hurled rocks at the
huge animal. To their surprise ii never
moved. although hit quite frequently,
Presently it dawned upon them that
the grizzly was dead, and closer ex-
animation revealed such to be fact.
There was no wound on its body, and
while the men were bordering over this
singular circumstance, they became
conscious of sense Of suffocation from
strong sulphur fumes, arising from sew
eral holes in the ground near by. Az
some risk they investigated further
and found the skeletons of four other
bears, an elk. squirrels and other small
game, all evidently asphyxiated by the
noxious gases. The gulch made a nat
ural basin in which the gas settled,

AN INTERESTING RELIC.
4 Battered Tablet from the Ancient TsAA-
pie of Herod.

In the interesting museum OF an
Equities at Constantinople the object
that struck me most was hoary, bat
tered tablet, with long Greek inscrip-
ton cut on it in seven lines. 1t was
discovered in Jerusalem about the end
of May, 1871, by the French srchseolo-
gist, Cermont-Ganneau, at a consider
able depth below the ground, in the
foundations of an Arab house, not far
from the mosque of Omar, on what
might have been the site of the temple
of Herod.
This is one Of the very few relics OF
that magnificent structure which have
survived 70 our day. The inscription
is in capital monumental letters and
may be translated thus: ''No stranger
can enter within the balustTade round
the sanctuary and Enclosures. Who
ever Is caught will be responsible 10
himself for his death" Josephus gives
a graphic description OF Herod's tenn
PIE and mentions that the court of the
Geutiles was separated from the part
that was restricted to the Jews by tIo
parallel walls, about Is feet apart. The
outer wall was about Al fee; high.

INDIAN WEAPONS.

Remains Of an Arsenal or EncaApment
on the Nessequake River.
In the vicinity OF the hea6waters of
the Nessaquake river in the ancient
village of Hauppauge is the site of an
Indian implement and weapon factory.
1t probably adjoined or was in the inn
mediate vicinity Of village Of the
Nessaquake Indians. The location is an
admirable one for such a village, as the
Nessaquake even now abounds with
trout and the woods are filed with
game. The tract of land on which the
relics are found, which indicate the To-
cation of the village and mandatory,
IS perhaps a quarter of a mile long and
from 500 to 1000 feet wide. The relics
which are turned to the surface with
every blowing of the soil consist at this
time of broken pieces of quartz, partial
" completed arrowneads and great
number of chips, evidently broken from
the completed weapons. Perfect speci-
mems of arrow or spear heads are very
seldom found, except Immediately after
the land is plowed or after heavy rain.
storm.
1t is a remarkable fact that but two
patterns of arrowheads have been found
In this vicinity. They both have the
grooved shank One is long and mar
row, very sharply pointed, and the other
is broad and short. Not q single speci-
men of the form known as war arrows,
the kind which are sharpened at one
end and partially sharpened at the
other, have ever been found in this
vicinity. No spear heads, or the larger
forms OF arrowheads have been turned
up. Some archaeologists think that
these facts prove either that each tribe
made its arrowheads after a peculiar
pattern or that certain patterns were
made by each artisan and bartered for
other patterns made elsewhere.
1t is peculiar fact that while arrow
heads in all stages of manufacture have
been found, including many broken
after their completion, no sort OF tool
or stones for making them has ever
been discovered. There are no stones
of any considerable size in the vicinity
and the problem is how did the Indians
ever chip the delicate and beautifully
fashioned arrow points from the quartz
cobble stones found in the vicinity
without implements to do the work.
The arrowheads in every stage of
manufacture, from the rudely- broken
stone to the completed weapon, to-
gether with the white quartz chips and
the small stones from which they were
made are turned up in quantities with
every fresh blowing and seem TO re-
main on or near the surface.
Many Indian relics. chiey arrowheads,
from this section of the island are on

DENVER'S UNEMPLOYED
Etatement Made I'm the Interest Of Two
Gentlemen of the Cloth.

Denver, Col, Dec. 30-The executive
committee appointed at the recent mass
meeting of the unemployed has adopted
the following resolutions regarding gar
bled and sensational reports of the mass
meeting:
Whereas, It. has been represented in
some eastern newspapers that at the re-
cent mass meeting of the unemployed
held in this city, addresses were deliver
ed by Rev. Myron w. Reed and Rev.
Thomas Uzzell which advocated physi-
cal violence as a remedy for the unem-
ployed, and were incendiary and anarch-
sstic in character.
Resolved. That this committee rep
resenting the unemployed of Denver, do
hereby stigmatize these charges as gross
eXaggerations and deliberate msrepre-
sentations of what was said by Rev.
Reed and UZZell. While We feel that the
circumstances which caused the meeting
70 assemble. warranted the use of strong
and vigorous criticism. we deem it our
duty, in justice to Revs. Reed and W.
Eell, to declare emphatically that the
construction placed upon their language
was unjHstifiable and unfair TO them and
the thousands assembled 10 hear them"
