that was before a mystery is now as

to see snakes if he be bootless?

1t is to be hoped that the Democrats
win persist in their determination to
parade in Chicago, October 81. There
will be no occasion for any clash with
me Republican parade. At this dis
lance Chief Badenoch's action looks
like an attempt at petty tyranny.

The need of more revenue for the gov
eminent is not half so pressing as the
need of more revenue for the people. In
both cases, however, 1t rises from the
same source-tile depression in business

trusts-Kansas City Times.

SOME EDITORIAL COMMENTS.

Got 'em on the rum, the Republican
managers are saying to the understrap-
pers to Jolly" and encourage them. In
the meantime Governor Flower, who has
canvassed Indiana, is saying in Chicago
that it will be hard work to save Indiana
to Mckinley. Harrisons programme of
go speeches looks as if the goldbugs We're
doing the running.-Indianapo Sentinel.

The Tribune says that the nominal
ton of Martin Christopherson for the
office OF county commissioner is shame
full. And therein it voices the public
sentiment
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-10-24

1t is the prevalent opinion among
habitues of the board of trade of all
shades of opinion, that the market is
being manipulated for political purposes.
The goldbug press makes a great parade
over it, as though sensible men were to
abandon their convictions because of a
rise in grain; but they fail to tell their
readers that the bottom might drop out
after election.-Chicago Dispatch.

A STRANGE MANIA.
This Prince Employed sculptors to Cary
Out Various MonstrositIes.


This Prince Employed sculptors to Carve
Out Various MonstrositIes.
The Sicilian Prince of Nalguanera
at the beginniAg of this century was
& monomaniac of rare description.
He succeeded to one OF the largest
fortunes in Europe. His habits were
studious and economical; he had no
children; but, in spite of the advan-
tages for saving money, he contrived
70 ruin himself The prince had a
fancy for grotesque statues, With
which he adorned the stately man
sion Of his forefathers. Many de
soriptions OF the place are extant,
for it was renowned through Europe
in It's day. Brydone visited it, and
ne has left us a pleasant picture
Approaching by a noble avenue, one
found the mansion encircled by an
army" OF monsters. The absurd
" Of the wretched imagination
which created them is not less as
tonishing than its wonderful fertili
ty, says Bryd0ne. Some were a
compound of five or SIX animals
which had no resemblance to nature
In one instance the head OF a lion
was set upon the neck Of a goose,
with the body OF a lizard, the eye Of
goat and the tell of fox. Upon
the back OF this object stood another
with five or six heads and grove of
horns. There is no kind of horn in
the world that he has not collected,
ard his pleasure is to see them all
aourishing on the same skull
OF such horrors there were 600 in
the avenue and courtyard alone
when Brydone saw the collection,
and the prince maintained a regi-
ment OF sculptcrs, who were reward
ed proportionate.y to their success
in designing new and unparalleled
combinations. The effect upon a
superstitious peasantry may be inn
agined. SO serious was the agitation
that the governments of Sicily threat
ened 10 demolish the wondrous array
several times, but prince Of Val
guanera was not to be offended in
those days without the gravest
cause.
The inside Of the house was &c
cartric in another fashion. Here
the mailman diverted himself with
columns and arches and pyramids of
cups and saucers, teapots and the
like cemented together. One col
umn, for instance, started from
great porcelain vase, of shape famil-
lar to bedrooms, but not elsewhere;
the shaft was teapots, with spouts
protruding, graduated in size up to
capital of fowerpots. The open
ines of windows were incrusted in
this manner, the chimney pieces
were loaded up to the ceiling, and
the magnificent rooms of the palace
were divided by fantastic arches OF
the same Constructor. CNlNa "d>
rare and fine in Sicily at that day,
and most of the pieces thus treated
had great value. The princes bed
chamber was chamber of supreme
horrors. Reptiles awful beyond con
ception had their homes there, in
termixed with pleasing busts and
statues, which, if turned, showed a
skeleton or hideous representation
of decrepitude. We have never Oh
served an allusion to these things in
modern work of travel. Perhaps
the government destroyed them at
the princes death, beggared by his
mania. Standard.

A Moths Caustic Potash.

A most remarkable chronological
discovery has been announced By
Oswald Latter, the great naturalist.
1t is to the effect that the image of
the moth Dicranura vinula secretes
pure caustic potash which it uses to
penetrate the tough silllen bag or
cocoon in which it is inclosed,
Caustic potash is, rs most every
one knows, powerful caustic which
destroys skin and flesh when brought
In contact with it. That it should
be secreted or formed in the mouth
or internal anatomy of any living
creature is SO singular and unlikely
that the entomologists were at first
inclined to disboliovo the story as
related by Mr. Latter in telling of
his discovery.
1t has long been known that this
particular species of moth used some
kind of liquid with which to soften
the cocoon when he arrived vt that
age when nature limited that it was
time to get rid of tho silken envel-
ope, but Mr. Latter's experiments
have for the first time disclosed the
nature of that liquid. Professor
Latter made this singular discovery
by clipping the ends from cocoons
and catching the liquid when 1t was
elected. This he subjected to chem
ioal analysis. st. Louis Republic.

saw the crowd disperse. Some Of them
jumped into the river and waded across
and every one got away except a few
young fellows who had wooden legs
One Young fellow was so scared that he
left his horse and buggy after him. The
officers were about as much surprised
as the fellows who were running like
fury. They hailed the boys with the
wooden legs and asked them what was
the matter.

fight and they thought you came over

opposite direction They We're the parti-

HE RESISTED ARREST
Officer Resorts to the Use of His Club. But
tn no Avail.


Yesterday afternoon about 2:S0 there
was a lively scene on Main street near
the Kansas National bank, which at
tracted considerable attention. The po-
lice officer went after his victim with all
due speed, and with some firmness, but
met with lively resistance. 1t was not
long until the mace came out and things
Became more exciting. The officer made
desperate endeavors to keep his artag-
onist off the sidewalk for some reason,
and this he found was by no means an
easy undertaking. Several times he sue
ceeded in accomplishing his purpose. on
" to have the job to do over again. The
club was swinging vigorously most of
the time but the blows seemed TO have
little or no effect, at least none showed.
Curiously enough no one seemed 10
think of using the patrol wagon to
transport the contestant and contestee to
the city building. The sole thing aimed
al appeared 10 be on the part Of the Off
Ger was TO compel his opponent to re-
main off the sidewalk, which he finally
succeeded in doing. 1t was a lively tus-
sci and the officer was a little winded
when success crowned his efforts, while
the refractory young mule evinced no
sign Of fatigue whatever.
