Ala skan Natives viii Aid Andrie in His
Search for the Pole.
A bit of news from Alaska is that the
great icebound region is being made
aware of Prof. Andres proposed aerial
trip to the North pole, and that the
natives from Point Barrow to Green
land are looking forward with keen IN
terest to his appearance. The Pacific
Geographical society has in hand the
disseminating of the news, and letters
have been sent out by the commercial
companies doing business in Arctic Alas
ka, with the request that the information
be impaired to al accessible natives, in
order that they may render assistance
when Prof Andre and his balloon comes
their way.
Andre, according to this society,
which claims to have been so notified
by the minister from Norway and Swe-
den at Washington city, will start from
Spltzbergen some time in July. This
news will be spread broadcast at Wran-
gel Land, off the coast of Siberia, among
the Tehutchis tribe, which was so lib
orally rewarded some years ago by this
government for assistance to American
shipwrecked sailors, by the steam whaler
Orca, Capt. McGregor. The Orca, which
is now en- route, VII! also go far east in

New Women and iuruerers.

The new woman distinguished herself

whick entities her and all her kind to
the gratitude of the nation at large. She
kicked a man on trial for murder.

been to load the murderer down with

baton. The miserable wretch Hayward.

overwhelmed with feminine attentions to

creant, was even annoyed by similar SEN

the most comprehensive villain of the
times, has been reported from time to
time as the recipient of similar favors.
Yet in all these cases the victims were
women. That it is their own sex which

vided into four sections each of which
is controlled by band of burglars, hav-
ing its own center of operations, and

The author, when caught, gave the
police much useful information, which
resulted in the imprisonment of many of
his comrades, and he escaped with a
light sentence, though on his release it
is likely that, unless he emigrates, his
career will be cut short by knife or
revolver. He is a man of excellent fami-
ly, received a fine education, and once
served in the French army.

The people of this vicinity are highly
elated over the discovery just made of
the existence of almost pure sodium car
Donate in and about Green river, the eX-
tent of which is yet to be ascertained,
says a Green River dispatch to the
Denver News. Prof. e. E. Slosson of
the Wyoming university was recently
sent a gallon jug of water taken from
the well just drilled by the Green River
Fuel and Oil company. This company
was looking for oil, but the analysis in
forms it that it has struck something of
far greater commercial Importance, for

and foams from the 690-foot we'll con-
tains 81 per cent. pure sodium carbonate,
which is worth not less than $50 per
ton, as it crystalizes by natural evapora-
ton. The overflow from the we'll has
deposited two feet of sodium about it
which many people mistook for snow,
While the latter covered the surrounding
surface, but when the snow disappeared
investigation was made of the white de-
post when its value was learned. Five
thousand acres have been recently filed
upon as mineral land in this locality.

The Two-Ben Signal for Starting.

An explanation of the practice of ring
ing two bells to start a street car was
made by an old street car man, and. if
not trustworthy, it is ingenious He de-
clared that when horse cars were rst
used here, one bell was used to start the
car and one bell to stop it. The horses
soon broke down. They foundered at
the knees. or their shoulders gave way.
Every device that could be thought of
was tried to ease up the strain of start
ing Spiral springs were put on all the
traces, but no good resulted Finally a
countryman who had been employed a
week as driver suggested that two bells
be used to start the car and he averred
that when the horses got used to it they
would set themselves at the first ring
and be ready to pull at the second The
plan was tried. and was SO successful
that it has been in use ever since

\ Judge overrides the Constitution.

Helen S. Young of Osburn, Ida, has
just been admitted to the bar 1t has
always been supposed that women were
ineligible. Section 1890 of the Idaho
statutes, under the head of ''Who may
be admitted as attorneys" says, ANY
white male citizen is entitled to admis-
sion. as attorney and counselor in all
the courts of the territory" Chief Jus
tice Morgan. however, has decided in
favor of Miss Young. He said he de-
rived his authority to admit women to
practice from section 13, article 3, of the
state constitution, which provides that
1.-THE Legislature has no power to de-
prive the judicial department of any
power of jurisdiction which rightfully
pertains TO it as coordinate depart
ment of the government" and that the
admission and control of the attorneys
were within the purview of this section
of the constitution. When asked if the
same Interpretation of the statute would
apply to the admission of negroes, the
chief justice replied that he thought it

WHY THE ORANGE WITHERED.
A Blacksnake Rad Lain Coiled About Its
Roots Ii the Winter.

Mrs. II. U. Johnson of Dallas, Tex,
had fine 3-years-old Otaheite orange of
which she was very proud. Soon after
she put the plant in the greenhouse last
fall it began to show unmistakable signs
of decay, and in spite of her best efforts
it continued to wither, and seemed, in
fact. quite dead. Hoping, however, to
revive it, SO soon this spring as practi-
cable, Mrs. Johnson set the pot out,
thinking that the genial warmth would
restore the plant. But instead of reviv-
ing, it seemed to wither the more, and
yesterday when the sun shone full upon
it on the gallery, Mrs. johnson saw the
orange culver and tremble as if pos
sessed of the palsy
Not compromising so queer a perform
ance on the part of the plant, she called
a servant and had him carefully turn the
pot upside down, when to her horror a
big blacksnake slowly uncoiled himself
from about the roots of the orange,
where if had no doubt comfortably hi

unWisdom OF having a COW for city sur
veyor, if one may so express the fact
that some of the streets there are laid
out so as to follow the cowpaths of the
original hamlet. The Inconvenience of
the streets and their narrowness have
led to most expensive congestion of
traffic. The daily amount of freight
carried through the city is estimated at
100000 tons. The unreasonable delay
for each team under present circum-
stances is one hour out of the ten which
constitutes a working day, or a loss of
10000 tons daily. At cost of 60 cents
ton, there is a loss of $4,000 a day, or
81, 100000 per annum.
