Paper on the Brain.

Many Of lie WashOe Indians of
Sierra and Long Valleys have been
sending their children to the Carson
Nevada, Indian school for several
years past. All Weutw we'll till the small
pox got among them last year. Since
that time some have died from after
effects Of the disease. One OF the vic
tins. a promising girl named Katie,
has Just passed away at Beckwith from
CONSUMPTION, and great is the grief OF
her relatives, says the Sierraviile Rec
ord. All the magic that four Indian
doctors could use was OF on avail. They
don't lay the cause of her death to
disease, but to too much study. The
chief medicine man slaps his head
and says, "Oh too much paper here"
and exhibits a great wad that he drew
from her brain by his magic, which he
claims she absorbed from her books
while she studied them. -Truckee Re

Brown Didn't Come.

No n will now take any stock in
Browns coming to this city until be
actually arrives. TIE statement that
he was TO drop in on Carson last We'd
nesday and other times, N from
Charley Jones the attorney. Jones is
in CORE spondence with him, it is said
almost daily, but declines to say
where he is. The community is con-
siderably puzzled in various degrees
over the matter and say that d big
bluff game is being worked, some
think by the bank people and some
think by Brown.
1t is held that if the bank people
really wanted him they would offer Il
reward, which up t. date has not been
done. Ii he is innocent as his friends
say, and other people have taken the
$50, SOC, it would seem about time that
he came back and showed the world
the facts. If other men are being
~unjustly accused, these men shOild
see that Brown is brought back aud
their own names cleared.
That 966, 900 should have be n taken
at various times, out Of the bank by a
clerk, and the several EXPERIENCED
bankers who were about him did not
know what was going on, seems in
creditable to most peolle, but yet
stranger things have happened |,
is a well-knOwn fact, however, that
under the old regime some men with
good realty security could not gel ac-
cOmmOdatious, while others drew
thousands on their personal notes
Most Of these accounts. however, have
been scored since the change.

can assure you, against America. Our peo-
pie may have joked with Americans about
some of their little peculiarities which seem
strange to us, but if so it was done in the
way OF friendly banter and not in the way
of enmity or depreciation. I think that the
English are surprised that such matters
should be taken to heart by the United
states, and 1 am sure that when they
realize that the people here object to SUCH
expressions they will drop them"

Chandler calls 1T, Mr.. Norman, too strong
In your country to permit war? In other
words, will the moneyed interests permit
it?"
1.-The pocket nerve,' replied Mr.. Norman,
lis no stronger in London than it is in
New York or Berlin, or rather it is just as
strong. You find it everywhere, and every
Where 1t is averSe to war. But the moment
nation receives an insult, the moment its
national honor is touched, the pocket
nerve, though it may throb just as strong
Iy, Is overpowered and forgotten in the
pride and patriotism of the people, and
Americans chase the rolling dollars quite
as ardently as We do the nimble shillings,
and still you would fight upon the proper
occasion, and so would the English. Such
war would be terrible. 1t would not stop
until both nations were exhausted, and I'M
til what now seems to be the destiny of
these two great nations had been swallow
ed up by the supremacy Of the other less
progressive nations of the world. These
two Englsh-speaking nations stand alone,
the world over, for personal liberty and for
Christian civilization in its broadcast sense.
They should be allied together. In this po-
sftion they can control the world. 1 be-
lieve their destiny lies in such an alliance,
and l do not think that little matter like
the boundary line of South American re-
public is going to turn them from the path
which seems to be naturally marked out
for them"

Found Dead,

Yesterday afternoon the ninth precinct
patrol wagon was sent out in the county
to little frame shanty on the Brentwood
road not far from Langdon, and returned
with the body of an old colored man NAM
ed Peter Yourg, who mad died without hav-
ing been attended by a physician Because
of the severity of the weather during the
past few days it was rumored that Uncle
Peter rad frozen to death. But the Of
ficers learned from Philip Boone, a young
colored man, that the deceased had been
sick several days, and that he was with
him when he expired. The old man lived
alone in the little hut in the county, and
the police had always regarded him as a
squatter, although they had never made
any careful investigation concerning him.
He had been reported as in destitute cir
CT instances, and Policeman Stearns learned
of his sudden death when he went out to
investigate the charity request.
Young owned a horse and cart, and work
ed about the country, well as doing
gardening on small scale. When the
coroner gives a certificate of death the
body may be buried by friends of the de-
ceased, as it is thought he has left enough
to defray the expenses Of a decent burial.

DISTRICT SUCCESSFUL.
Matters of Litigation Settled fin the
City'e Favor

Cny'e Favor.
The District of Columbia has been suc-
cessful in three matters of important liti-
cation since the new year dawned The
Court of Appeals yesterday affirmed the
case of Burgdorf, involving the general
tax law of the District, as reported in The
star. The contention in this case il he
had prevailed, would have not only very
seriously Impaired the collection of taxes,
but would have involved citizens holding
tax titles in litigation resulting in serious
loss to them. The same court yesterday
also affirmed the authority of the Commits
sicners in respect to the telegraph and tele-
phone wires over the streets and avenues
OF the city, and yesterday Judge Bradley
In Circuit Court No. i, rendered a decision
in favor Of the District in the Parsons
case, which was a certiorari to uuash a
Waterman tax for laying a main in Mill
tary road.
In the Parsons case it was sought to es-
tablish the proposition that the assessment
of the cost of laying the main was uncon-
stitutional Among other reasons, because
the charge of S1.25 a front foot was an ar
bitrary assessment and represented more
than the actual cost of the main.
Under the Waterman system, however
whenever fire plugs, hydrants etc. are nut
In after the main is laid, these are without
additional cost to the property owner, and
the dlnerence between the actual cost of
the main and the amount of the tax col
lected constitutes a fund to defray the ex-
pense of fire plugs, hydrants, etc. and in
this way the water system is maintained
In the case there was also a claim that the
property was improperly described. and
that the notice to the property owner was
insufficient. Both of these points were.
however, overruled, Judge Bradley holding
the tax to be constitutional

the expression of their views. The Ques-
ton of providing a proper system of sew

Is of such moment that it is thought this
meeting will be an occasion of no small
concern TO our citizens both in and out of

Gus campaign on the part of the board

ANACOSTIA LINE.
The Herdfcs n Failure and Have Been
Discontinued.


The announcement in The Star of last
evening that the Anacostia herdic line,
through the manager, Mr. ]. B. Fenton, had
made an assignment to Mr.. George w. Cook
for the benefit of creditors was the first
knowledge that many of the people Of the
town had that the concern had passed out of
existence.
The fact that the herdics were not seen
on the streets at all during the day caused
much comment, and many persons who
have been in the habit of patronizing them,
in order to reach their places of employment
in the city, were disappointed thereby, but
no one seemed to have any idea that dis
aster had overtaken the enterprise.
The most serious effect of the assignment
is the condition in which employees of the
late company find themselves. 1t is said
that no notice was given to most of them
OF the contemplated change, and when the
drivers went to the stables yesterday morn
Ing to take out the herdics they were
astounded to find that there were neither
horses nor herdics to be found, all the prop
erty of the company having been removed
during Sunday night.
The impression among the warmest sup
porters of the movement which led to the
starting of the herdic line is that the en-
terprise failed because although the patron
age was fairly good the receipts at three
cents per passenger were not sufficient to
pay expenses. Various otner reasons are as.
signed also.
Another report is that the officers of ID. A.
No. 66. X. of L., which body assumed the
management Of the line a few weeks ago,
found upon the breaking out Of the present
war between the brewers and their en-
pioyes that one fight at a time is enough
and that they decided that as no decisive
results were being reached on the herdic
line, II would be better to concentrate all
their energies in the new contest and took
action accordingly.
VIII Contest.
Manager Gray of the Anacostia Feed Com
pany said this morning that he will today
take steps to contest the assignment made
by Mr.. Fenton to Mr. Cook, on the ground
that his claim, amounting to Sl246O. has
not been properly secured by Mr. Fenton.
