States makes the laws and the Presid dent
cannot question them once that they have
passed over his veto. 1t was 10 tram pl e
them down and 10 trample upon your
rights that this scheme was gotten up.
There was $1,000, 600 in the sinking
fund belonging 10 the United States.
1t amounts to-day to something more
than $ls.G00 OOO. Thurman and Ed
munds revised the Thurman bill and
created sinking fund. they took
hold of the income OF those two
great railroads. They invaded ,he
supposed reserve powers of these great
corporations, and they placed that sinking
fund in the treasury guarded by trusts,
which no man dare invade. There was
an Illustration of the power OF Congress
over the railroads. The Presiden! OF the
United States has not got II; neither has
the Supreme Court OF the Uai'ed States.
Nobody has the power Dut the representa-
lives of the people.
Harris OF Kansas introduced Senate
resolution asking President Mckinley not
to carry into effect the tontract made be-
tween Grover Cleveland and the FilZ .erild

"Thursson, who was attorney for the
railroad up 10 the very hour that he re-

aid syndicate to buy the bonds ior $2S, ,000

Musical Snaps II t.,

I am tickled to know that Wagner
was an exact and expensive dresser,
and that beethoven was sloven with
an old coat and slippers trodden down
at the heels. 1t interests me to hear
that Paganini always carried shirt
so prOfusely over his solos that he had
to change between the parts if he had
to play twice. l even care to learn
that Mendelssohn was perfect child
about pastry. which he could never re-
sist. and which he always ate les
pecially cherry pie. and which always
disa greed with him: that Schumann in
jur2d his third finger by tying it back
10 his wrist with string because he
hoped to make it more supple-it end
ed. however, in his almost losing the
use Of it; that BulOw got up in the
night to play over passages which hs
thought he was likely to play inacu.
rately at MS prOdi2 iOuS recitals: that
when Thalberg was at the height OF
his fame he wouldn't even carry an
umbrella for fear of 1t cramping the
muscles of his hand; that Malibran
loved nothing so much rs roInping
With Moscheles' children on the floor;
that paganini was so stingy that he
would stand up under shelter in the
rain and keep whole opera house full
waiting sooner than call cab. Prof.
Ella told me he found him one day
crouching under the arcade III Regent
street. and that he gave this artless
explanation: Hackney coaches" he
said. lin London were so expensive"
and this when he had doubled the
prices at the opera house where he
played, and was rolling in money.-H.

The Power of Imagination.

Imagination is nearly always spoken
Of by the unthlnking as misty and I'M
important something, or is regarded as
reprehens Don't let your iinagin-
alton run away with you" is a sentence
which has chilled, if not checked, the
enthusiasm of most of us. But imagin-
alton Is really the master builder OF
ones most satisfactory lite-structure;
and when it runs away with" one, be-
comes the most powerful dynamic in
the world. What does Imagination
mean? Imaging; building thought
pattern. a mental model, an ideal.
Nothing great was ever achieve with
out enthusiasm" declares Emerson
Imagination is enthusiasm's vital prin
cIple, its inward life, Its kindling fire.
Imagination ran away with" Peter
the Hermit, and across continent
tramped, with great loss and terrib,
suffering, thousands Of people followin,
an illiterate and hitherto unknown ma
who had magnetized himself and hi
followers by the thouSht-pattern of tn,
Christ tomb free from Moslem posses
sion. Carthage fell and Rome became
supreme because imagination iran away
with" Cato in picturing tie destruction
of the African metropolis, and kept his
zeal at white heat till the rival of the
Eternal City was demolished. We haye
the electric telegraph and the sub marine
cable because Imagination took the bits
in her teeth and gave Samuel Morse
and Cyrus Field no rest till the world
revolutionizing messages were clicked
and flashed out in ineligible language.

A SURE POSTMORTEM TEST.

At last what seems an infallible in
dication of death has been discovered.
Scores Of people have horror of be-
ing buried alive, and there have been
many attempts made to discover some
test aside from time that will assure
the friends that death has really oc-
Cured. and that the burial may safely
proceed. Heretofore none of these
tests have been absolute, and each has
failed signally.
DR. G. L. Barnes, Chicago physi-
clan, has recently been experimenting
with X rays, and he now announces
that they will determine positively
whether real death has occurred or
whether the patient is in trance.
DR. Barnes made Il shadowgraph Of his
own hand. and on the same plate laid
the dissected hand of n cadavcr. When
the plate was developed, after being
exposed to the mysterious rays for
some time. the difference in the two
photographs was noticeable. The dead
flesh offered more resistance tn the
penetration of the rays than the living,
and a glance would determine which
was the hand of the corpse. Other
experiments which he made confirmed
his opinion. The Horoscope is even
better than the shadowgraph as a
means Of determining whether life is
present or not.
1t seems strange that there should he
no accurate way of determining when
a man is dead, but such Is really the
case. The absence of the circulation
of the blood is a fairly good test. but
there are instances Of persons having
recovered after the heart has ceased 10
beat-or, ut least, beat so weakly that
it was not perceptible either in the
breast or at the pulse. Muscular con-
traction cannot be relied on, as dead
people will twitch when an electric
battery Is applied to them. Rigor NOR
tbs cannot be relied on, for that IS
often present in the case OF cntalep
tics. The gradual cooling of the body
has long been regarded by physicians
as an accurate test, but 1t is now
known that such a condition may fol-
low the collapse which accompanies
partial drowning. The contraction OF
the muscles is an accompaniment or
certain diseases, and SO is the discol-
Grafton of the skin which is noticeable
after death.
DR.. Barnes is n well-known physi-
clan, and his discovery is regarded as
one of vast importance. w" has writ
ten several books on dissection. en-
balming and kindred subjects, and has
been experimenting with the y rays
ever since ROcntgen made his discovery
known-New York Journal.

Greek Girls.

While the Greek girl of to-day is an
odalisque in the morning and a Paris
Ienne in the afternoon, in olden times
she was confined to a garb of white, it
being more fitted to modesty and
beauty. The Greek girl of yesterday or
to-day cannot hold candle to the pretty
girls dressed in white who flock to the
many summer resorts along the Saint
Paul & Duluth Railroad, or Duluth Short
Line. The summer girl is there in all
her glory, and so is her brother, her
father and her sweetheart, getting the
best there is in life by enjoying an out
ing at one of the many places along this
popular line. With so many attractions
to offer, it no wonder that the trains of
this line, finely equipped and up to
date, are always crowded. For maps,
circulars and general information, apply
to ticket agents or write to c. L. Stone,
General Passenger Agent, st. Paul,
Mimi.

UNITED.

Last Tuesday marks an epoch in the
history of Duluth and Superior. On
that day the two cities were united, at
least so far as a steel draw bridge can
unite them, ard treer commercial and
social intercourse made possible.
We rejoice in this fact, because We be-
lieve the two cities have common des-
tiny, and that they can better work out
that destiny by moving hand-in-hand
as friends than as jealous rivals
But the union we have contaminated
does not go far enough. We want the
treest possible intercourse between one
another-we want free bridge and We
must have free bridge, and the two
counties-Douglas and st. Louis--can
not do better than make arrangements
to that end as soon as possible. AS we
have said before, a toll bridge is relic
of the dark ages, of despotism, and I'M
American. Let the toll be wiped out.
Until that Is done the Union Of the
two cities SO eloquentlv referred to by
Mayor Starkweather will not be as
pregnant with gorgeous possibilities
as the marriage of Helen of Troy. That
was real marriage, there was no tax
on love III her case, no draw bridge even
10 temporarily disturb the relations be-
tween herself and her spouse. Unfor-
tunately We cannot avoid a draw, but We
can avoid a toll.
We endorse all the nice things said by
our eloquent mayor about the city oyer
the way and its people, and we accept,
on behalf of our city and people THE
TINES speaks for ALI, with becoming
modesty, the many kind and flattering
things said about Us by the eloquent
mayor of Duluth.
May their predictions he verified and
our fondest hopes realized.
