THE uncertain amoun. of phosphor-
as contained ia american mild steel,
ranging from 0.6 to 0.15 per cent,
initiates seriously against its use by
English manufacturers, who would
give it far more cordial reception if
the phosphorus could be kept below
per cent Large wire firms who have
bought large quantities of American
steel have, on account of this irregu-
larity declined to place further orders,
though offered very favorable terms as
while American wire may be well suited
for fencing and barbed wire industries,
high quality English wire demands =

The breeding of eels is mystery.
Nobody ever saw any of their eggs.

THERE is only one naval power of
the first rank-Great Britain. The
French navy is barely half as strong,
and France must consequently be
classified as sea power of the second
rank. AS none of the other naval
powers is equal to France, they are
placed in the third class, which in-
cludes Russia, the United States, the
Japanese, the Italian and the German
fleets

ABOUT $1,000 year have been saved
by the state of Virginia through a re-

One change which results in large

that institution, rather than escorted
to it by sheriffs or police in the vari-

BURNING WOMEN.
Satisfying the Savage Human In
atinct of Cruelty.

9tlnct OF Cruelty.
The horrible punishment of burning
women alive seems to have existed in
Saxon, England, but perhaps only in
the case of slaves, says the Athenaeua.
Under the Norman rulers, any woman,
bond or free, who killed her husband,
was burned alive, and the same punish
ment for this crime, and also for high
treason, and even for coming and other
minor offenses, continued or arose from
time to time through the second and
third periods until it was abolished by
act of parliament in 1900, the last actual
execution of this kind having, however,
taken place six years earlier. The whip
ping Of women for various offenses con-
tinued even later; public whipping
was not abandoned until 1917, and cases
OF private whipping occurred rs late as
1920.
There can be no doubt, we think, that
the savage human instinct of cruelty
had something to do with the barbarous
punishments above mentioned. AS the
old Roman public longed for the
carnage of the circus, as the Spanish
populace crowded to the auto-da-fe in
the fourishing days of the inquisition,
SO the lower (perhaps not only the low
er) strata of English nationality took
delight in witnessing tortures which,
in all probability, were devised and
kept up partly for their entertainment.
Mr.. Cleveland tells us that Judge
Jeffreys, in sentencing woman to be
whipped, is reported to have said:
"Hangman, charge you to pay par
ticular attention to this lady. scourge
her till her blood runs down. It ia
Christmas time, cold time for madam
to strip; see that you burn her shout
ders thoroughly"

No One More Deserving.

Some of the Grand Army men are
circulating petition asking Con-
gress to pass law granting a pen.
sion to Colonel Jerry Moore. 1t will
doubtless be signed by all to whom 1t
may be presented, and should be
granted without delay, for the gallant
old Colonel is now in his 10th year.
andif not granted quickly it will not,
in the natural orGer of nature, do him
much good.
Colonel Moore is a veteran of tw
wars. AS a Sergeant Of the First
Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteers,
he served through the Mexican war,
and upon the breaking out of the Re-
bellion he raised company, and as
Captain, and subsequently, Lieuten-
ant Colonel, Of the Third California
Regiment, he served over three years.
In 1868 the cords of the third fingers
OF his hands, owing to some unknown
cause, contracted until the fiugers
we're bent rjGidly into the palms in
such manner as to very seriously
interfere with the use of the hand.
The finger of the right hand became
so much in the way as to make it
almost Impossible to handle a sword
or pistol, and it became necessary
to have it taken off or retire from the
service. 1t was accordingly ampu-
tated by Drs Rowel and Garwood,
the latter sill prominent physician
of San Francisco, and the Colonel
served two years afterwards.
One who would suffer amputation
to remain in the service at time
when 80 many others we're cutting off
fingers and toes and running away to
Canada to avoid serving, certainly
deserves well of his country.
For thirty years Colonel Moore has
been leading citizen of Nevada, and
now that adversely has overtalsen him
in his old age every patriotic heart
must wish his friends SUCCESS in their
efforts to obtain a pension for him
Judge r. r. Bigelow has taken
charge of the matter, and Hon. F. G..
Newlands will secure the passage of a
special act through Congress, in
which he will dou jtless be assisted
by onr Senators. -t,eBo Gazette.
Colonel Moore has many friends in
Elko county who would gladly assist
him in getting his pension bill
through Congress. He served his
country faithfully In two wars and
should not be forcedto accept public
or private charity in his declining
years. Those in charge OF the matter
should give the people OF Elko coun-
ty an opportunity to sign the petit,
ton.

the coffin had Just been taken and
sat there throughout the final prayer.
When the clergyman pronounced the
