Russian Criminals.

One of the most curious results of the
Investigations made by doctors in the
Russian jails is the statement that each
group Of criminals has its own peculiar
color of the eye. A legal journal at
Odessa states that it has been found
that thieves and murderers usually pos
sess chestnut brown" eyes. Robbers
that is to say, thieves in large and
violent line of business-have slate-col-
ored eyes, and the same is stated of GRIM
inals convicted of swindling. The vag-
abond classes have eyes of azure blue
tint. The color most observed among
minor criminals and those convicted of
slight offenses is chestnut brown
green"

To Preserve Elephants.

An adequate effort is at last to be
made to prevent the extinction of the
elephant. The government of India has
adopted regulation preventing the
killing of these animals in a reserve
which extends from Sheikh pass to the
Afghanistan frontier. The area is APP
proximately 200 miles by so. The herds
of elephants which remain in this re-
serve are at present confined to much
smaller area of about 40 miles square
in the Gadabural mountains.

A HOTEL IN TWO TOWNS.

II One Town Goes Dry the Bar Can
BE Moved Into the Other Town.
In selecting the site for the Grand
hotel in the Catskills, on the top of
Pine Hill mountain, the owners evil
IDENTIFY had in mind the vagaries of the
excise vote. 1t is not generally known
that the Grand hotel stands on the boup7
dairy line of Ulster ard Delaware coun-
ties, the boundary line passing almost
through the middle of the hotel build
ing. The hotel therefore is in the town
ship of Shandaken, Ulster county, and
in the township of Middletown, Della
ware county. Should Shandaken go
dry, the hotel bar could [be moved to
Middletown, and vice versa. Advantage
has been taken of this fact by the ho-
tel owners to keep down the assess
ment, says the New York Sun.
The assessors of Shandaken placed
valuation on the property of $4,000,
but agreed to assess it for only $4,000
if the hotel would remain in that town
ship. This year they have raised the
hotel assessment to $4,000, and the
owners have notified them that they in
tend to remove the hotel to Delaware
county, where the assessment will be
made much lower by the town of Mid
dletown. The assessors of Shandaken
township are going to try to have bill
passed by the next legislature Great
ing this hotel property into a special
district, and giving to the stockholders
the privilege of voting as to where they
shall be assessed or whether they shall
be assessed at all.

JURORS MAY ATTEND CHURCH.
Religious Obserynnces No DisqunliH-
cation in Murder Trials.

RtAhBOus ODScrShnces NO DtsQuAAttA-
cation in Murder Trials.
The court of appeals, in its recent de-
cision affirming Judgment convicting
Giuseppe Constantine of murder in the
first degree in killing Pietro Galiotti at
Utica, held, among other things, that
the fact that during the trial the jury,
in charge of officers, attended church,
where the sermon was upon the preva-
lence of crime, was insufficient to JUS
tify new trial, when it was shown that
the officers, as soon as they discovered
that anything might be said which
could prejudice the jury, at once left
the church with them, and that the
trial judge thereupon stated to theiury,
and at the close of the trial charged
them, that no opinion uttered by the
preacher should have the slightest
weight upon their minds in forming
their verdict. The evidence, says the
New York Times, showed that the MUIR
der was committed in an ARRAY, and
that there was an interval of from half
q minute to two minutes for delibera-
ton while the defendant was threaten
ing the fatal act. The court held it was
not an error for the judge, in charging
the jury upon the question whether
there was sufficient time for such de-
gree of deliberation and generalization
as would constitute the crime, to illus
trate minute of time by his watch.
The power conferred on the court of
appeals by sections 52s and 542 of the
code of criminal procedure to order
new trial in capital cases was not to
be exercised upon the mere appearance
of some error to which no exception
was taken, unless the substantial
rights of the accused could be seen to
have been affected by it.

The Armenia.

The United States owns one vessel
that stands by herself, that has TO
counterpart in American waters. She
is the Armenia, the lighthouse supply
ship. All the year she is busy carrying
oil to lighthouses on our coast, and not
only oil, but towels, wicks, brushes,
soap, brooms, cutlery, stationery-all
the things that the government sup
plies to lighthouses and their keepers.
The Armenia is big white steamer with
yellow funnel and uniformed officers,
so that you can tell from afar that she
is government vessel, but she does not
belong to the navy; she is one of the
great fleet controlled by the treasury
department and devoted to services
that have nothing to do with war.
There are about $50 light stations on
the Pacific coast and about 265 on the
great lakes. Oil is purchased in the
west for the lake stations, but all the
rest are supplied from the government
depot on Staten Island. The Gil for
the Pacific coast is sent around the horn
in sailing vessels, and the Armenia car
ries all they need to all the rest of the
United States lighthouses.

SUBMARINE RIVERS.
That Strangely Break Through the
Oceans Bottom.


A break in the cable laid between the
Senegal coast of Africa and Pernam-
buco, in Brazil, five years ago, has led
to an extraordinary discovery, related
recently by Mr.. Benest to the Institu-
ton of Electrical Engineers. The cable
was as fine a one as modern methods
could devise, yet after three months it
broke about $50 miles from the African
coast; it was repaired and broke again.
1t was then found that at the place
where the break occurred there was
great deal of vegetable growth resem-
bling river weed; that the color of the
sea was a dirty brownish green, indicat-
ing the presence of fresh water, and
birds feathers, pieces of orange peel,
scraps of carpet and bits of driftwood
were taken from the bottom of the ocean.
The phenomenon was purely local, as
the nearest river was rs miles away,
and discharged its waters in different
1t was surmised that it
meant the sudden breaking through of
a submarine river, and the cable was
moved to a distance; after two years
it broke again, and was moved once
more, and engineers are waiting to see
what will happen. Submarine rivers
are known to exist in other parts OF
the ocean, off the mouth of the Congo
and in the Gulf of Carpentaria, for in
stance. This explanation, however, does
not account for the carpet and orange

ON THE WANE.
Bull Fighting No Longer Popular
Among the Spaniards.

Bull Fighting No Longer Popular
Among the spaniards.
Bull fighting is on the wane in
Spain, and its popularity is rapidly de-
Ginning. This, says the New York
Tribune, is shown by the fact that the
Madrid chamber of commerce has just
presented a petition based on the
unanimous vote of its members to the
governor of Madrid. requesting him to
put a stop to weekday corridos, save on
exceptional occasions. 1t is urged
therein that bull fights on working days
injure trade and industry, are detri-
mental to the dispatch of business in
the government offices and favor idle
ness with all its accompanying evils.
The governor has promised to accede
to the petition, and his decision is APP
proved by large and influential por-
ton of the public, while the remainder
of the people view the matter with in
difference, Yet 20 years ago the bare
idea of any restriction of the number
have raised storm of indignation,
possibly developing into a revolution.
The altered condition of public senti-
ment with regard to this national
sport is mainly attributable to the ex-
cellent influence of the queen regent,
who has always set her face against
bull fighting, resolutely declining to
countenance the corridos by her pres
ence.

ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES.
Business Places and Private Houses
Full of the Lively Force.

Business Places and Private Houses
Full of the Lively Force.
An idea of the vast extent of the cleo
trical industries can be formed when
it is stated that careful investigation
reveals the fact that the capital invest
ed in various electrical arts is not less
than $1,000, 100000, says the Boston
Herald. The very magnitude of
this vast capital indicates the enor-
nous extent to which electricity
now lends it's aid to the other natural
forces previously brought under hui
man control. One can scarcely enter
an industrial establishment of any i'm
portance, a public building or a pri-
vate residence having any pretense of
comfort or luxury, without meeting
with familiar or unfamiliar electric ap-
planes. Not only are electric motors
to be seen everywhere, but the cleo
trio current is made to regulate the OPP
Grafton of steam throttle valves, clocks
and many other appliances of ma
chinery. 1t is not easy to guess where
all this will stop. No doubt electricity
will continue to invade fields wherein
mechanical construction has heretofore
been wholly relied upon and other me-
chanical movements will, in their turn,
be supplanted.
Salaries OF Rulers.
"The divine right of kings" does not
prevent them from asking and obtain
ing a good salary for the work they do.
Even king has to eat, and in order to
do that he must have money. Usually
rulers get enough salary to make life
a pleasure. The car gets $4,000 every
day he rules, the sultan SIS, 900, the en-
peror of Austria only $4,000, and En-
peror William $4,000 less. Queen Vic
toria has $4,000 to spend every week,
while her son spends as much, although
his income is less than half that sum.

Cuban Convention Decided on
No Compromise.
WILL NOT ACCEPT AUTONOMY.
Nothing That the Spanish Government
May BE Willing to Grant VIII Be
Taken-The Cuban Question Must Be
Solved This Time For Good.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-The Cuban
constituent assembly, which met re-
Gently at Camaguey to remodel the con-
stitution and elect new president,
issued a manifesto which has reached
the office of the Cuban junta in this
city. The document is dated at Lay
ava, Oct. 30, 1897, and is signedlby Do
mingo Mendez Capote, as president of
the assembly. The manifesto is ad-
dressed by "the representatives of the
Cuban people to all those who have
the independence and future welfare of
Cuba at heart"
The document says that the assem-
bly,, before adjourning, deemed it its
duty to proclaim, among other things,
that:
mo special laws, no political reform
or autonomy, nothing in short that the
Spanish government may be willing to
grant that means Spanish sovereignty
over Cuba shall be accepted by the
Cubaps as settlement of the war.
Independence or death Is and shall
be the unalterable and sacred motto of
the Cubans.
The Cubans have not resorted to
arms in order to obtain any political
measure which does not once and for all
solve the '2ban question. That is the
reason we will accept nothing short OF
absolute independence.
''It is our purpose to constitute an
independent state, orderly, prosperous
and happy, over the ruins of worn
out colony.
I'VE are firmly determined to carry
on the war until victory or death
crowns our efforts"

Remarks by a Minister.

A mans charity cannot be meas
ured by his profession.
If you wish to sleep well take a
clear conscience to bed with you.
True religion consists not singly
in believing or doing, but in both.
1t is a great deal easier to make
an enemy OF friend than to make
friend of an enemy.
The greatest need of our govern
ment is fuller application of the
principles of righteousness topublic
affairs.
A person may, be rich, and great,
and learned and honored, and still
not be happy. The way to be happy
is to be good.
1t is much more important to be
ready for Christ's coming at any
moment than to know Just when He
will come again.
If the devil can get possession of
the tongue of few people in each
church he can accomplish a great
deal through them to destroy the
good influences of the church.
No one increased in happiness,
or goodness or usefulness because
he discarded the bible; but many
have been happier, better and more
useful because of the influence of the
Bible upon their lives.
1t is a greater honor to us that we
are allowed to serve God, than it is
to Him that we offer Him that SER
vice. He can do without such earth
w servants, but we cannot do with
out such Heavenly Master.

THE UNITED srAres NAVY.
Secretary Long Thinks 1t Almost as Big
as IL Sss...td BE.


WASHINGTON. Nov 27--The future
of armor plate is not touched on by
Secretary Long in his report to the
president, except as he arrives at the
conclusion that the present strength of
the navy may be considered almost
equa to any emergency likely to con-
front a nation that invites no qrarrels,
and that the work of congress and the
department will be merely to maintain
its strength and efficiency.
The annual report of the secretary of
the navy deals with the number and
character Of the various fighting craft
owned by the United States, and with
the auxiliary fleet, consistininR OF 20
subsidized steamers. ranging from 1000
to $4,000 tons, with a large number Of
other merchant marine steamers avail
able in time of need.
The need of improved dock facilities
is noted.
Larger appropriations are recon-
mended for the naval militia.
There are now ,508 officers ON the
active list of the navy, drawing total
of $3,414.500 pay; there are 468 officers
on the retired list, drawing $1.036, 1916
there are 900 petty officers, seamen
and enlisted men, drawing SO, 408. 1876.
