If the king is strong enough and the

administration for oratory and work for

Tax on Free Passes.
from the Scranton, Pa, Republican.

frOm the Scranton, Pa, Republican.
An impress sion prevails among many peo-
pie in this country that American railroads
are the only railroads imposed on by poll
ticians and others for free passes, but a
recent agitation In France concerning
passes brought out the fact that about
100000 passes are issued annually by
French railway companies. 1t is proposed
to put a tax on those free passes in France,
and a howl of rage has gone forth from
those who enjoy the privilege of riding for
nothing. The proposed tax is very light,
and 1t might be supposed that those enjoy
ing the privilege Of riding free would pay
IL without any protest. but the political
class seem to be the same everywhere, and
a few cents imposed upon a free pass Is
considered a real grievances.

BIG CATCH OF SALMON.


TTHceS VHUbuuIIy LOW az q Result OF
the Unprecedented Run.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, September
14.-An official report has been filed at the
custom house here by Inspector Weber,
showing that the salmon catch is the
largest ever known in the northwest. AL
together 100000 fish of the cock-eye
variety were caught near the mouth of the
Frazer river during the season. and nearly
as many hump-backed salmon were taken
from the traps and left on the mud fats to
die and decay.
AS a result of the unprecedented catch
this season, fishermen predict a light run
for the next four years. While prices last
year for fish ranged from 20 to % cents
each. this season the fishermen were glad
to sell them for cents each.

P~ENITENTIARY LECTURES.

Prof. Aven Nelson OF the university
delivered an able and interesting lee
ture on Books and Libraries" to the
inmates of the penitentiary on Sunday
afternoon. The subject was treated in
4 delightful manner and in a felicitous
style. The history of books was traced
from the earliest records of the Aryan
race down to the present plethora Of
printed thought.
The fascinating story of the founding
of the worlds great libraries was told
charmingly. In spite of the speakers
belief in the survival of the fittest, he
seems to grieve unduly over the loss OF
the famous AleXandian library-es.
pecially as he goes on to prove by sta
tistics that it would take at least 100
years for one to read all the books in
the world worth reading. II one de-
voured a volume a week.
In closing his address Prof. Nelson
gave a glowing tribute to the power
and pleasure-giving Of works Of gen.
uine literature. We wish in
the state could have heard this fine pas,
sage. No joys are so pure and last.
ing as those of the intellect. and the
claims Of the higher nature of mar can
not be urged too far or too strongly.
One more lecture will close the course
as at present arranged. but we hope for
another series in the spring.

ROBBIE THE MAILS.
r. J. Lilliard Arrested by the Police
Last Night on a Serious Charge.

Last evening Chief of Police Proctor
and Postmaster G. w. Hoyt received
kilograms from Post Officer Inspector
Waterbury of Denver to look out for
+. j. Lilliard. wanted for robbing the
United States mails. The police set out
at once and officer Jim Green located
his man at the Metropolitan hotel and
placed him under arrest.
Seen at the police station Lilliard
said his nam was Louis Warren, but
afterwards admitted his name is Lii
lard. He says his home is in Montana
and that he has been rowing about the
country since last August. When asked
regarding the charge against him Lii
lard, who is a half breed Indian, and
stands six feet four inches in height,
said he had nothing to say except that
he is not guilty of any wrong doing. He
said that he had obtained letters from
different post offices addressed to other
persons, but always had authority to
get them. None of the letters contain
ed money.
1t is understood Lilliard has caused
the postal authorities considerable
trouble and they have been trying for
a long time to run him down. The
prisoner spent the night in the city
jail.--Cheyenne Tribune.

The gambling cas- against Joseph
Black was concluded in Judge fitch's
court last night. The case was given
to the jury a little after . o'clock n 1t
took that body just about ten minutes
to dispose of the case, the verdict being
guilty. Judge Fitch hen passed SEN
tence, assessing the penalty at $50 and
costs, amounting altogether to a little
more than $40. Blacks attorney, Judge
Carpenter, at once filed notice Of his
intention to take an appeal to the dis
trict court. Blacks bond was fixed at
5000, which was readily obtained ana
the defendant was then released. The
charge of vagrancy still stands and win
be taken up when the other gambling
cases have been disposed Of.
Black was tried under the old law.
there being some defect In the new
enactment which the city attorney did
not care to bring to the test at the
prosecution was obtained from Mr.. Geo.
II. Hunt, the man who figured in the
Mountain Home shooting some weeks
ago. He was in the game. and in fact
was the only man who had any money
worth mentioning. Having been Skin
ned out of his wealth, he decided to
act as a witness for the people. His
testimony was of such a clear and con-
vincing nature that the jury had no
trouble in arriving at a verdict in short
order.
The jury was composed of represen-
tative citizens-men who have no
sympathy with the methods of the tin
horns-as follows: Geo. w. Fox. Jesse
Converse. G. E. Eggleston, James Cor
diner, C. l.. Kline, and Henry Hall.
If the sentence of the court is carried
out, Mr.. Black will either have to pay
a fine of more than $40. or go to Jail for
a term equal to 81 for each day.

AFTER THE SCALPERs.

A New York dispatch says: About a
dozen merchants, a number of railroad
officials and committees representing
the various associations Of ticket brok>
ers in the city are to appear before the
railroad committee OF the house in
Washington, December II, at the hear.
ing on the bill to prevent the sale Of
tickets by the brokers not regularly
appointed agents Of a railroad. The
merchants who are to appear before the
committee are members Of the Merch-
ants association who were instru.
mental in securing the New York state
law. The railroad men, backed by the
Merchants association and the promI-
nent business men of the city, are de,
termined to have the bill passed, II pos
sible.
They have taken the matter to con-
gress because the state law has proved
a failure. owing to its limited scope.
and because there is a question as to
its constitutionality. which made the
point that it i%nterferes with interstate
commerce. The lawyers for the brok,
ers have brought up this question al
ready. The law applies to New York
state railroads that transact business
under the laws OF other states. A
broker who buys or sells a ticket issued
by a New York state railroad can be
sent to prison for a term of not less
than one year. though the value OF the
ticket might not be more than 10 cents.
For that reason the brokers no longer
handle New York Central nor Lake
Shore tickets. The law, however, can
not touch them for buying and selling
Pennsylvania or New Jersey and West.
