The Danger Of Early Rising.

Yet another venerable supersti-
ton has met its doom at the hands
of the irreprsssible scientist, says
the London World. Until now peo-
pie have been content 10 accept, if
not to act upon. the theory that early
rising-in conjunction, Of course,
with q correspondingly early habit
of going to beds conducive not
only to wealth and wisdom, but also
to health. Indeed, a familiar rhy med
adage protests as much in SO many
words. But, like many another
primitive belief, it has been ruth
lessIy shattered by the scientific
iconoclasts, one of whom now claims
to have discovered that people who
get up early go mad much more
readily than others In support OF
his theory he points TO the undoubt-
ed prevalence of insanity among
those engaged in agricultural pur-
suits. Though it is sad I O see time

one is disposed to favor the new
opinion at the expense Of the old.
In any case, there can be no harm
in being on the safe side, and. after
all, it is go easy not to get up early.

The Ball Came of.

The much,talked-of Bradley-Mar-
tin bal-masque, the grandest social
event in the history Of Gotham,
came off Wednesday night at the
Hotel Waldorf with more than the
anticipated eclat.
One thousand guests were present
and wore costumes Of the sixteenth,
seventeenth and eighteenth cenlu-
ries, those centuries representing
the most extravagant and piclur-
esque periods in the matter of dress,
of the European courts. Mrs.
Bradley-Magtin wore q Mary Stuart
costume. copied from an old plate
of that Queens time, and her es-
cort, John Jacob Aston represented
King Louis XIV.
1t is estimated that Mrs. Bradley.
Martin spent $75,OU ON the ball,
and her guests 100000. There
were 200 servants in attendance, all
in the most elaborate livery dress.
Their stockings cost $1,4OO, low
buckled shoes, $500, wigs $500,
their velvet breeches, embroidered
coats, wsistcoats and lace ruthed
shirts 5000. The supper cost over
$4O,O
Mrs. Bradley Martin succeeded
in her ambition of eclipsing the
historic ball given on March 26,
1883 by Mrs. w. H. Vanderbilt,
now Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont. The
Vanderbilts were not strictly in
society then. and that ball lifted
the whole family into New York
City's most exclusive set. Mrs.
Vanderbilt only spent $4,000 on
her ball and the guests $500, 900.

The Legislature is more than
half through its session. Thus fal
there have been over sixty bills in
troduced into the Senate, and nearly
three times that many in the House.
A bill known as the alien labor
bill passed the Senate by a large
majority. This bill prohibits the
employ ment of an alien in any ca,
pacity.
Another bill passed the commit.
tee of the whole, but fortunately
was killed on it's passage through
the Senate. This was the eight.
hour labor bill There was a mos,
vigorous protest against it. Mine.
owners threatened to reduce wages
to meet the requirements of the
bill. 1t was seen that this would
precipitate strikes, and the Senate
wisely concluded to let the employ
er and employe regulate their hours
Of labor to suit themselves.
Another measure has passed the
committee of the whole in the Sen.
ate. This is known as the black.
listing bill. 1t is claimed that this
virtually prohibits any person OF
corporation, after discharging an
unworthy employe, from notifying
any other person Of the fact. It il
thought this bill will not pass, and
if it did that it would be vetoed.
There seems to be a determine
ton, at least on the part of the
House, to legislate against the
sheep industry. There are several
bills pending in that branch which
aim at restricting the importation
of any more sheep into the State
One bill proposes a heavy tax upon
every head of sheep that crosses
the border, and heavy penalties are
proposed for the slightest violation
of this law.

George Taylor Not Wanted.

A special dispatch from Hanford,
CAL, Feb. 9Th says:
Sheriff Buckner is puzzled at the &C
tiOn Of the Missouri authorities In the
case of suspect Taylor. Numerous tcIe.
grams of inquiry have been sent Us to de
scription and rs to what disposition
should be- made Of the prisoner, but every
reply so far has been ambiguous and un
satisfactory. Local officials are inclined
to think that Taylor is not wanted in
Carroll County, if his return to Missouri
can be avoided.
The prisoner was visited to- day by J.
II. Dryer, who called at the request OF
Buckner to identify him as Taylor. As
with Crookshank and Ssyres, Dryer
quickly identified him except ss to height,
and readily admitted that he might be
mistaken as to that. Dryer stated that
he knew both brothers we'll, but had for.
gotten rs to exact height. He also stated
that in conversation. mannerism and gen.
eral appearance the prisoner was similar
to Taylor and that he believed the prIso-
ner to be Taylor. Taylor has grown irri-
table and impatient. He says "the joke
has gone far enough" He is bitter in
deuunciarion of Lane, whose information
led to his arrest, and threatens to iDjure
Lane upon his release.

FEDERAL TROOPS TO fIsnT MINERS.
A. Detachment from Fort Sill Makes q
Raid Into the Wichita Mountains

A special from Wichita, Kas, te
the ST. Louis Republic, Feb. 5, says
information has reached that city
to the effect that Government troops
had just driven out of the Wichits
mountains a party of miners who
have been working the rich lodges
for months in open defiance of the
Indian police who patrol and guard
that section.
The Indian police have routed
these miners number of times, but
the richness of the mines they are
working has led them to return
again and again. When the detach,
ment of Government troops from
Fort Sill swooped down..upon them
several were captured, but it is be-
lieved that others are hiding in the
fastness of the mountains, with the
expectation of resuming work as
soon as the troops have withdrawn.
One Of the party run in by tie
soldiers is William Cooley, an old
Montana miner, and be declares
that the great Wichita mother ledge
is q carbonate belt Of unsurpassed
richness of remarkable extent. Ac-
cording to his statement, it is from
500 to 1000 yards wide and fully
so miles in length.
According to treaty stipulations
the land is strictly for the use of
the Indians, and white men who
are trespassers are liable to heavy
fine and imprisonment. 1t is ex-
pected that the prisoners captured
will be severely dealt with.
1t is said that the Indians have
for years been aware of the exist
ence of this great carbonate belt
and that they have guarded it with
eternal vigilance from the cupidity
of white men. There is great ex-
element throughout that part of
the territory and it is expected that
the Government will be compelled
to adopt extreme prohibitive meas
ures when the facts became gener-
ally known, for a great rush for the
gold fields is sure to follow.
The Wichita Mountains are far
in the interior and only a small
force of troops is stationed at Fort
Sill. II the influx of prospectors
it will be necessary to
mass more troops in the region of
the gold fields.
