WHISKY AND HEAT.
How Cook Managed to Shuf11e Of
 This Mortal Coil

Another victim was added yesterday to the number that have this year be- come victims to overindulgence is in- toxicants while the heated spell is on. Almost every person who has been prostrated with the heat has been a hard drinker and has been on the "tail end of spree" The case of yester- day was no exception.
 Edward Ludlow, aged about 50, was a cook, his last employment having been in the Thalheimer lunch stand. He had been drunk or the next thing to it for several weeks and was SUD- posed Monday to be tapering off. He complained of being sick and said that he believed he would get some nor phine to relieve his pain. That night he slept in the area in the rear of Dolls saloon, West Washington street.
 Shortly before noon the man was found lying in little alleyway in the McCarty building near by. He was breathing heavily and was uncon- scious. Medical attention was hastily summoned and his temperature was found to be above 1O8 He was re- moved to Justice Johnstone's office and every attention given by City Phy- sician Futile, but to no avail, death soon coming.
 A coroner's inquest at once held, de- veloped nothing further The man had been in Arizona for four or five years and had given his birthplace as New York.

RARE BOOKS TAXED.
Causes Plans of Vanderbilt's Library
 to Be Disclosed.

NEW YORK, July l4-In order to es- cape the duty on fifty books, George Vanderbilt will have to tell Uncle Sam all about scheme he has for the edu. cation of young men in forestry, at Biltmore, his famous North Carolina estate, where he is establishing li- brsry of books devoted to that branch of learning.
 He recently purchased volumes in Europe printed in foreign languages. Some of them are rare editions. They came over packed in ten cases. The man of millions evidently did not take into consideration that duty might be levied, but the customs officials care- fully opened and investigated each case.
 The law provides that books of for. eign languages and more than twenty years old can come in free of duty, and under this provision only fifty of the books were admitted. These fifty were held until Collector Kilbreth could be consulted, and when the matter was brought to his attention he declared they were subject to duty because they were printed within the twenty-year limit,

CREATING TROUBLE AGAIN.
Preacher Rice and Wife Excite Crippl
 Greek.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo. July IA Rev. A. R. Rice and wife were ar. aaiQned before Police Magistrate Null lins this afternoon on a charge of in. citing riot and fined $200 each and costs, failing to pay which they were confined in the city jail. They were preaching on Third street last evening to crowd which blocked the streets, and when arrested called upon the crowd to protect them. At the moment there was danger that the crowd would interfere with the officers making the arrest. Rice and his wife are travelling over the country ostensibly preaching the gospel and selling small pamphlet giving an account of their lives and the IS arrests and trials to which they have been subjected in various cities of the country. They opened their services here on each occasion with defiance of the authorities and seem to be defying arrest as their chief stock in trade for drawing a crowd and creating sym pathy.
 At the time the trial was in progress this afternoon a crowd of several hun. dred men gathered in front of the court room and made demonstrations until the officers felt called upon to disperse them. Even after that there was some angry talking and little groups of men stood on the etreet corners discussing the affair in words uncom plimentary to the city officials. Apparently all is quiet tonight and no danger of an out. break exists. The attorney for the couple asserts that he will appeal the case to the higher courts.

LACK OF ORDER.
The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline.

The Chinese Deficient in Military System
 and Discipline.
 The Chinese are an untidy race, whose cities in their native country are frightfully unclean, and whose special quarters in our cities are apt to afford anxiety to boards of health. The Jap anese, on the contrary, are extremely cleanly, orderly and neat; and one of the stories told of Chinese soldiers in the present war tends to show that this difference has played no small part in determining victory or defeat.
 The Japanese are armed with mod ern weapons, of which they take ex- cellent care, and which they handle with skill and efficiency. A lady writ ing from China says that the Chinese troops are provided with a curious va. riety of European arms, obsolete. ancient and new; and that cartridges for perhaps twenty different makes are all served out together.
 In Manchuria she actually saw cart ridges piled carelessly on the ground, mot in boxes, but lying in great heaps like potatoes-long and short, fat and thin, all mixed together, and soldiers fitting them to theirguns trying them, and throwing away those which were too large or too smallr'
 No wonder the Chinamen do not stand before the Japanese. As soon as the cartridges each man happens to carry are exhausted he can only de- pend on one chance in twenty of get ting any more that he can use. He sell dom waits that chance; he runs, and throws his useless rife promptly away that he may run the faster.-London Spectator.

Pure Food and Drink.

he world doesn't stand still. Six years ago a New York Ceylon tea company said that Ceylon tea was twice as strong as Japan tea. It was so then-such Japan tea as Americans drank.
 But the Japanese drink better tea, andothey want you to drink it too. Nothing stands in your way but your own indifference and the American tea-colorers in Japan, whose interests are not yours.
 Three years ago the Japan ese gave big tea-exhibit at the Worlds Fair. Those who tasted tea there tasted Japan tea as the Japanese drink it delicate, aromatic, inspiring.
 And now the Japanese tea growers are sending you their  best-pure Japan tea, young tender leaves, uncolored, un- adulterated, delicate, strong money-back tea-SehilIlmgs BeSt.

How Sidewalks Are Calked.

A New Yorker who when boy was
accustomed to frequent shipyards and
watch the construction of fine clipper
ships was astonished as he neared Wall
street, when walking down Broadway,
to hear the familiar sound made by a
hammer and maui ringing out on the
air. 1t was welcome sound and brought
to mind flood of recollections of his
boyhood.
On investigating the cause of the
sound, he was somewhat surprised to
discover ship calker sitting on the
pavement carefully calking the cracks
between the fagstones of the sidewalk
with oakum, while another man fol-
lowed with pot Of tar. Inquiry brought
out the information that it was neces-
sary to make the sidewalk waterproof,
owing to the vaults which extended out
under the pavement. At certain periods
the cracks must be recalked, and the
operation is quite an expensive one.
The trade Of ship calking, like many
other things, is not enjoying the most
prosperous time in its history
The decline Of wooden ships, brought
about by the demand for those Of iron
and steel, has caused many calkers to
turn to other trades for work. New

Wandering Needlea.

In one Of the medical journals sur.
geon recorded some years ago strange
instance Of the wanderings Of a needle
in lady. The patient called upon him,
stating that the greater portion of an
ordinary sewing needle had broken in
the first joint of her left thumb. The
surgeon could plainly feel the needle
point, but after Intellectual attempts at
the extraction Of the foreign body he
recommended that nothing further
should be done lest the attempts to re-
move ii might result in greater injury
to the joint.
About year afterward, however, the
patient called upon him to inform him
that a day or two previously she had
felt a pricking sensation Of the right
forefinger, and having broken the skin
she without difficulty extracted the
portion of the lost needle from the point
Of the finger. If all these facts be cor
rect, as reported, the needle travelled
from the left thumb along the arm,
across the chest to the right arm, and
down the latter to the finger where il
was extracted Journal.

a Montana Gold rocket.

Commissioner Merrill, who is one of the
owners of the Liverpool silver mine, 10
miles from Helena, told a strange story Of
the finding of crystallized gold, which IL
illustrates the queer luck of men engaged
In mining, and how close a call he had in
the finding of gold himself.
81 was mining in the st. Louis gulch, /"
he said, land had got down four feet Of
the seven required to reach the pocket,
when l went away to another locality to
work some claims had there. The stage
rumbled in tho next night, and a fellow
new from the States got off. He didn't
know thing about mining and had never
seen mine, but he went out the next
morning bought pick and pan and
shovel and struck out for tho hills.
HE stumbled that day on my prospect
hole, and without word went to work.
Well, he only dug three feet till he struck
pocket, afterward celebrated as the Uncle
Sans pocket, from which he took $50, 900
worth of gold. Mark you, he didn't get
more than third or a quarter of what the
crystallized gold was worth. He did not
know that it was worth three or four times
as much as ordinary gold. He took it to
Il. G. Kleinchsmidt. The latter, with his
experience, saw at once what it was and
snapped it up. The pocket was in the
shape of pumpkin seed. 8 feet long, 8
feet high, and about 6 inches wide in its
widest part. 1t was pretty full of gold and
made bonanza for Brown. San Fran.

Shiahs and So mis-.

Mohammedans divide themselves into
two principal sects-Shiah and SUNNI
the Persians representing the bulk OF
the former. the Turks of the latter
The chief points on which they differ
are the condition of the soul after death
and the succession Of caliphs. "The
Sunni belief is that there is one inn
mortal God, whose works are without
beginning or end, and that he will be
visible to the souls of the blessed, while
the Shiahs deny the immortality of the
soul and maintain that the coexistent
principles of Zoroaster will forever con-
tend for the mastery" With regard to
the prophets successors, the Sunnis
claim that the lawful successor of Mo-
manned was Abu Bekr, and after him
Omar, Osman and Ali, nephew and SON
in-law of Mohammed. The Shiahs,
however, reject the first three and hold
that Ali was the only legitimate sue
cessor.
Shiahs pray but three times day,
and enjoin pilgrimages to Nejef, Ker-
bella, Kazimain, Meshed (Persia), Sa-
mara and Kun, as well as to Mecca and
Medina. Sunnis make pilgrimages only
to the two latter cities, and pray five
times a day. From this it can DE read

of the Turks being in possession of the

1t Stops the Crying.

To keep babies from crying an ingen-
ious device is resorted to in India. The
moment a child begins to cry the mother
places her hand over its mouth and nips
it's nose so that it cannot breathe. Then
it is allowed to breathe freely again,
but should it make use of the oppor-
tuuity to again set up "a howl it is al
once suppressed in the same way. This
is repeated till the baby imGgines that
the painful stoppaae Ct the breath is
caused by its own effort to scream, and
so is careful to keep quiet 1t is needless
to say that this method will scarcely be
adopted by doting American mothers, =
