CARRIAGE DRAWN BY MAGNETS.
Wonderful Contrivance of Missis sippi

Gibson Hazelhurst of Beech Springs,
Neshoba County, Miss. an inventor un-
known to fame, is endeavoring to. interest
capital in scheme he has perfected for
the running of vehicles that he claims will
revolutionize the world. He will make it
possible, he says, for anybody to have
wagon that will run without horses at
practically no expense beyond wear and
tear. "ln brief, he explains, my lnven-
tion works this way. | will take an ordi-
nary locomotive, for instance, tear all the
works out of it, and place new wheels on
it. These wheels are an invention of my
own, and are made according to q
plan l have perfected after several
years of study. The secret OF the con-
struction. lies in the tires, which are
made of wood and steel. nave invented
magnet of rare power and lasting. In
these magnets at an angle known only to
myself. The magnets will be arranged in
sliding grooves, connected with levers
under the control of the driver. When
the vehicle Is standing still they are kept
far enough away from the wheels to lose
the effect. When it is desired to start all
that is necessary is for the driver to pull
enough to the wheel to get the current to
work, the steel portions of the tire are
drawn toward the magnet. and the wheel
goes around. The speed can be regulated
by the distance the magnet is held from
the wheel by the lever. If load is being
pulled, or if it is intended to go faster
than one magnet can draw, it is an
easy matter to put one or more of the
other magnets In operation. figure that

FRESNO, CAL, March 18.-E. NJ. JEFF
ferds was lodged in the County Jail to-
day by Constable Spencer of Selma and
Deputy Constable Crutcher of this city on
a charge of robbery. The arrest was made
on 3 ranch twenty miles southeast of
Fresno, where Jefferds had been kept in
hiding.
Jefferds was member of the famous
"Band of Forty Thieves" Of Tulare and
Kings counties, which has recently been
broken up by officers after having carried
on depredations for several years Jefferds
finished serving sentence for petty lar
ceny in the Hanford jail few months
ago. The charge on which he was arrested
to-day is that of robbing some Portuguese
sheepherders near Selma last June. Joe
Middleton, ex-leader of the famous band
is already in Jail on the same charge. A
young. man named Barlow who was a
participant in the robbery of the Portu-
guese, has turned States evidence. and
hence the arrest of Middleton and Jefferds.
Jefferds is regarded as desperate char
aeter, and the officers who made the arrest
to-day went pre- pared for warfare. They

A Number of Characteristic Stories
About Him.
The story of Charles Abbot has been
often told--the scrubby little boy who, fail
ing to become chorister ran after his
father through the streets of Canterbury,
carrying a pewter basin, case of razors,
and bag OF hair powder. The unpreten-
tious dwelling whence the pair emerged
was situated in narrow street opposite
the stately west portal of the cathedral,
and it's owner, who shaved for penny and
cut hair for twopence, boasted that he had
thrice prepared his Grace the Arch bishop
to deliver his triennial charge to the clergy
of the diocese.
A good story is told of Lord Tenterden,
as this disappointed little choirboy be-
came, having one day, at his own table.
asked a county magistrate ii he would
take venison. ''fhank you, my Lord,
boiled chicken" Was the reply. His Lord
ship mad contracted an inveferate habit of
keeping himself and everybody else to the
precise matter in hand. THAT, SIR" said
the Judge, "is no answer to my question.
l now ask you again if you will take veni-
son, and will trouble you to say yes or
no without further prevarication."
Tenterden was habitually down on wit
nesses, and on one occasion told the chair
man of the East India Company, whom
he had failed to recognize as he entered
the box, ito hold up his head and speak
out like a man. The ruling passion is
sometimes strong in death, and just ''ere
the weary pulse OF life at last stood still"
Lord Tenterden was heard to murmur to
himself:

PRESIDENT AND CABINET.

General Harrison Describes the Duties
of the Chief Executives Advisers.
ain all important matters the President
is consulted by all the Secretaries, writes
ex-President Harrison in March Ladies'
Home Journal, in an article upon '.The
Presidents Duties" "He is responsible
for all executive action, and everything
that is out of the routine receives his at
tention. Every important foreign compli-
cation is usually discussed with him, and
the diplomatic note receives his approval.
The same thing is true of each of the de-
partments. Routine matters proceed with
out the knowledge or interference of
the President; but, if any matter of
major importance arises the secretary
presents it for the consideration and
advice of the President. Only mat
tiers of great and general Importance
istration are discussed ir the Cabinet meet
ings-according to my experience-and
votes are of rare occurrence. Any Secre-
tary desiring to have an expression upon
any question IN his department presents
it and 1t is discussed; but usually ques-
tions are settled in conference between
the President and the head OF the particu-
lar department. There is a yielding of
views, now on one side, now on the
that when the President has views that
ne feels that he cannot yield, those
views must prevail, for the responsible
ity is his, both in a constitutional and
popular sense. My habit was to give an
afternoon to each Cabinet officer on fixed
day of the week. These meetings we're
chiefly given up to the consideration of
appointments, but if any other matters
were pending and deemed by the Secre-
tary of sufficient Importance they were
presented and discussed. The labors of a
Cabinet officer. are incessant and full of
responsibility. His fine is largely taken
up with calls, and, like the President, he
must, out of some fragments of time as he
can secure, manage to study and decide
the important questions that are daily
presented to him. Certain appointments,
chiefly of clerical character, are by law
given to the heads of the departments and
with these the President usually refuses to
interfere, though often urged to do so. 1t
was my practice to refuse 10 send any card
of recommendation to tie Secretary.

A SPECIMEN SILVER BRICK.

The Cincinnati Enquirer thus sums up
the situation in a nutshell:
"A great many sincere democrats are
afraid that the eastern gold worshipers
will not bolt. The Chicago nominee would
be beaten if there was the slightest sus-
picion that he was satisfactory to any
of the gold leaders. The only possible
chance the democra tic party has for its
success is that it shall be able to pro-
duce the universal conviction that its
success means the free coinage of silver.
All eastern democrats who believe in
democratic usages and OF abiding by de-
cislons of majorities in conventions will
support the Chicago nominee. The SER
wants of the gold power, who merely
masquerade as democrats, and who have
contrived to subject the democratic party
to the usages of that power, do not be-
long in the democratic party at all. They
are the bane, the canker and the moth of
the party. They have betrayed it and
defeated 1t. Their present desire Is to
elect Mckinley on gold standard plat
form to please the money power, which
they serve. These false leaders are now
being reduced to the ranks. The people
have arisen in their might and taken pos

tering threats of boiling, instead of
alarming the faithful. are rather encour-

TREAT IT AS SETTLED.

Several months ago when some over
jealous and trucking cuckoo asked Mr..
Cleveland how the financial question
should be treated by the democratic ma
tional convention, he replied: why,
treat it as settled, of course; there is
nothing else to do" This was before the
people took a hand in the matter and
when it looked like the democratic party
was about to be driven from its principles
and republicanized by the president and
his followers. But since true democracy
has asserted itself and prevails again in
the. councils of the party, we find Mr..
Cleveland bending every energy and
using every force at his command to have
the will of the people overridden and the
monetary question unsettled. Comment
is unnecessary.
