The possibilities of this country as horse
market are expanding. They have been often
discussed, some attention has recently been
given to breeding Western mustangs for use
in European cavalry. Just now demand
comes from the East. The Mikado of Japan
in spite of any possible unpleasant feeling
regarding Hawaii, has purchased his horses
here, and his example is likely to be fol-
lowed by others of his countrymen.

A LESSON TO Be REMEMBERED.

A LESSON TO BE REMEMBERED
Reports from reliable special correspond
ents at various points in Alaska, as we'll as
stories told by returning prospectors and
miners, make it certain that the rush for the
Klondike is virtually over for this season
We may have repetition Of it next Spring
and in all probability we will, but for the
present there has come a pause in the ex.
element that affords to all an opportunity
to think calmly over the prospects Of find.
ing fortune along the banks of the Yu-
kon, and to count the cost of getting there.
From this time on, until Winter sets in
and puts an end to attempts at further
travel to Dawson before Spring,we shall have
reports of disaster and deprivation, and per-
haps worse. The lesson involved in these
reports should be carefully studied and re-
membered by the adventurous who are
even now making plans for going to the
Klondike next year.
From the beginning of the excitement
the leading journals of the country have
been urgent and persistent in advising ad-
venturous persons not to make the journey
to Dawson without the most careful prepa-
ration for all the emergencies of Arctic
travel over snowy mountains and through
regions where food is scarce and at times
unattainabe.
1t will be different now. The reports Of
distress and restitution from the North will
confirm and add emphasis to the coun.
sells Of prudence. If the people can only
be induced to consider them 30 well that
they will not forget when the excitement
breaks out anew next Spring we shall not
have a repetition of the want and misery
which seem to be impending now over
thousands of sanguine men, and women,
too, who but a short time ago started North
full of hope, and sanguine of speedy jour
ney to the gold fields and prompt fortune
when there.

ANOTHER MARK HANNA MOVE
NENT

The campaign Of Seth Low for Mayor
Of Greater New York is very like the Mark
Hanna movement Of last year. The same
methods that put the shrewd manipulator
Of trust and tariff in control Of National af-
fairs are being brought TO bear upon the
contest for the control of the consolidated
city. The great boast Of the Citizens Union
is its money power, and its chief reliance Is
on the influence of dollars in controlling
the result this Fall.
The syndicate that is interested in the
election OF Low is prepared to spend any
amount Of money 10 obtain the end de.
sired. 1t 10 a powerful syndicate. 1t is
controlled by a few millionaires, who have
the same interest in securing the Mayoral-
ty of the City of New York for one Of their
number that the members of the Hanna
syndicate had in putting Mckinley where
he is TO day.
The means used by the millionaires in
the last campaign will be adopted by the
millionaires in the next. Not only is the
control of the greater municipality greatly
10 be desired, for immediate results, but the
gain is prospective as well. The power
and influence the syndicate hope to &C.
qure in the City would be of great use in
the Presidential campaign OF 1900. Having
once obtained grip on the Nation, and
finding the investment of last Fall already
yielding such large dividends, the plutoc.
racy is reluctant to yield one inch Of
ground, but, on the contrary, is determined
to obtain as much more as possible.
Politics, with these crafty accumulators
Of other peoples money, is merely bust
ness. If by the investment of thousands
they can make millions, they are not only
willing but anxious to invest many thous
ands. This power should not be permitted
to pass to the control Of the plutocrats. 1t
should be left in the hands of the people
The next Mayor of New York should by all
means be man Of the people-that is to
say,a Democrat.

Watch Chain of Human Bones.

Cyrus o. Thornton, farmer living a
few miles ont of Bolivar, has an odd
watch chain. 1t is made of human
bones. The chain consists of eight links,
each a trifle more than an inch long,
connected by plated rings. The chain is
about ten inches long and has been high.
ly polished by years of wear and glis-
tens like ivory.
Thornton secured the chain at Peters
burg, Va. in 1864. He was a member
of Company E, Fiftieth New York en-.
gineers. A member of the Twenty first
New York infantry made two chains
while confined in Libby prison and on
his release met Thornton and sold him
one chain for $50 in greenbacks. Thorn.
ton has forgotten the makers name
The bones were taken from amputated
arms and legs, and it required IL
months time TO carve out the chains.
For many years after he came home
from the war Thornton wore the chain
every day, but for several years he has
worn it only on Memorial day and at
Grand Army reunions. Some of his
neighbors once laughed at the idea of
the bones being taken from human bod
les. and he sent the chain to a surgeon,
who examined it and pronounced it to
be of human bones. Fall River News.

Bombs In Russia.

There was great excitement one day
at a small Russian port OH the Baltic.
The captain of a newly arrived foreign
vessel was arrested for the alleged
crime of having attempted to bring a
large number of dynamite bombs into
the country of the car. They brought
the unhappy man before the judge, who
happened to be one Of the few intelli-
gent men in the town.
Where are the bombs?" said the
judge.
ION board the ship" said the police.
"There is small cargo of them.
go and fetch one," said the Judge.
1T is dangerous to touch it," said
the police.
II cannot CONVICT said the Judge,
'rnless l have the material evidence.
Bring me a bomb. "
With much trepidation and many
precautions they at last brought one on
a cushion of cotton wool. The Judge
laughed most unjudicial laugh.
THAT" he said, is a cocoanut."
And so it was-London Tit-Bits.

ASKS UNCLE SAM TO PAY.
Wants $1,000 For Vault Space Used by
the Government.

Howard Payson Wilds, deputy commits.
sioner Of public works New York, recent
~ made formal demand on the treasury
department. of the United States for %, 900
for the 1000 square feet Of vault space dug
out without permits under the sidewalks
and roadway about the new appraisers
stores, in that city. The citys regular
charge is 81 per square foot of surface.
Secretary Gage replied that there was no
appropriation from which the fees could be
paid. He also said that as the vaults had
been constructed with only municipal in
reference and, as no demand for payment
had been made until after they were con.
structed, he was of the opinion that the
federal government was not liable for the
fees In conclusion he quoted an act of
congress which says that land acquired for
appraisers warehouses shall be exempt
from all taxes and assessments by the state.
Mr.. Wilds sent "a reply, reiterating the
demand for payment, in which he said that
the United States had acquired no title or
interest in the land affected that the fees
demanded were not a tax, and that the
payment of them was as necessary as the
payment for the land on which the stores
stand. He added the suggestion that the
appropriation for the erection of the build.
ing was applicable TO the cost Of the vaults

AN ADVENTUROUS WOMAN.
Has Climbed Mountains In Various Parts
of the World.

The interchangeable traveller, mountain
climber and lecturer, Miss Annie 5. Peck
arrived i'm Detroit recently. Miss Peck was
in return from trip to Mexico, where she
vert to climb the famous mountains Popo-
catepetl and Orizaba, both ascents having
been successfully made. She Is the only
woman who ever made the ascent of Mount
Orizaba, which is over $4,000 feet in
height.
The trip was made on April go, and.
though two men attempted IL on the same
occasion, both were obliged to turn back.
The air of the mountain becomes so rare
that one can breathe only with great diff
Guilty, and il is exceedingly cold and hot
at different stages
But these difficulties only spurred Miss
Peck ON, for she has been climbing noun
tains all over the world for years, and in
1895 crossed the ocean and made the ascent
of the famous Matterhorn, on which l3
people have lost their lives, including sew
eral experienced guides.
Miss Peck home is in Providence, but
Michigan should also take pride in her
achievements, as she is graduate of the
University of Michigan. having taken the
degree of A. NJ. there in 1878.
She took up the study of archaeology
and in 1884 went TO Athens, where she
finished her course. After extensive trav-
els through Europe she returned and for
several years devoted her time to teaching
and lecturing, the latter including scien-
tifc topics on account of her travels.
Miss Peck thoroughly enjoys her thrill
ing experiences and by the aid of cam
era, which she always carries, has repro
duced many of the delightful scenes she
has witnessed
She toured California on her return trip
from Mexico, and also made the descent of
the Grand canyon in Colorado. New York

hit upon an idea for a hospital where
valuable plants of all kinds can be oper-
ated on and saved from death. The hos
pital will be built on the plan of an or.
binary hospital for human beings, with
separate wards for plants suffering from
infectious diseases, dissecting rooms
and outdoor departments Many valua-
BILE plants suffer from peculiar diseases
for which no remedy has been found.
Orchids are subject to a disease not IN.
like consumption. which has hitherto
defied the efforts Of expert plant doc
tors. A strange whitening malady is
prevalent also among some classes of

How to Examine a Watch.

TO one who has never studied the
mechanism of a watch, its handspring
or the balance wheel is mere piece of
metal. He may have looked at the face
of the watch, and while he admires the
motions of its hands and the time it
keeps he may have wondered in idle
amaZement as to the character of the
machinery which is concealed within.
Take it to pieces and show him each
part separately and he will recognize nei-
ther design nor adaptation nor relation
between them, but put them together,
set them to work. point out the offices
of each spring, wheel and cog, explain
their movements, and then show him
the result. Now he perceives that it is
all one desiRn-that Notwithstanding
the number of parts, their diverse forms
and various offices, and the agents con-
cerned, the whole piece is of one thought,
the expression of one idea. He now
rightly concludes that when the main
spring was fashioned and tempered it's
relation to all the other parts must
have been considered; that the cogs on
this wheel are cut and regulated
adapted-to the ratchets on that, etc.,
and his final conclusion will be that
such q piece of mechanism could not
have been produced by chance. for the
adaptation of the parts is such as to
show it to be according to design and
obedient to the will of one intelligence.
