Friction in the senatorial issue at
Pierre still continues. The democrats
have practically abandoned Kyle whose
chance OF election now seems hopeless.
Plowman's also have gone glimmering
owing to ineiieibllity, and because OF
votes cast for MIN, lawyers at Pierre are
crazy enough to think that Pickler is
elected; but the United States statute
says plainly enough, three times in the
one section that an election consists of Il
majority Of the votes Of the members
present 1t makes no difference how
they vote or whether they vote at all or
not.
The Kaufman liquor license bill was
reported adversely in the senate.
This bill was regarded as being too ienl-
ent, but would have become a law had 1t
not been for the temperance people; as
it was. the committee stood five tOiour.
This dlsposes Of the two extreme n-eas-
ures, and the committee will now cons!d-
er the Stephens bill Shlch is fashioned
after the Iowa mulct law. 1t would re-
suit in prohibition IN many counties
With slight notifications it will prob
ably become the liquor law Of the state,
and will for long time settle the liquor
question.
The Torreus system OF registering land
titles is before the house. and as it has
been relieved Of the objections overruled
by the supreme court of Illinois, it is
likely to be adopted by this state. The

This ship was originally fitted with
double cabins and especially roomy Of
ficers' quarters for use as flagship,
but with the advent of so many large
ships which are available for flagship
duties, it is not longer necessary to
have ship Of her size, $3.50 tons, fitted
for such duties, and her officers quar-
tiers are to be reduced accordingly, to
the size available for a cruising vessel.
The cabin space will be much smaller
and the officers staterooms and mess
rooms condensed into small space, thus
giving more room for the crew. a

to Secretary Herbert.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The official
report of the grounding of the Brook
lyn on Schooner ledge, in the Della
ware river has been received by Secre-
tary Herbert from Captain Cook, the
commander Of the vessel. Captain
Cook recites the facts and asks for a
court of inquiry. He says:
"This is most deplorable accident
and one that has fallen like pail upon
officers and crew, thoroughly inter-
ested in the ship, her welfare and her
care. From all the facts at present
within my knowledge, feel that the
accident came from no neglect Of pre-
caution or Judgment on my part. Pilot
Wall holds q regular license as pilot,
and insists that he had the best range,
and cannot account for the disaster
Recent blasting at this ledge, which l
understand has been going on, may
have left some loose rock not before in
the channel"
1t is generally believed at the navy
department that the accident was prac-
tically unavoidable. The request for a
court of inquiry has, however, been
granted

Hunting the w rid Goat.

The White Goat or Rocky Mountain
Goat as it ;ndscrimiuately called, is a
species OF game rarely hunted by
sportsmen. This is not go much because
OF the difficulty Of killing the
animal, nor because OF lts actual
rarity. 1t is Il stupid animal, easily shot
when once found. 1t is not, however,
found in the usual hunting grounds, as
are bear, deer, elk, etc. 1t is remote from
the common localities, but where found
ia in goodly numbers. 1t ranges very
high up in the mountains, above timber
line usually, among rocks and cliffs.
This requires great labor to get to it, but
once there the hunter will get his game
nine times out OF ten.

made in the Bitter Root Range in Mon

A Great New ENGLAND Dam.

With the magnitude of that massive
structure, built of granite and cement,
which is known as dam No. 5, of the
metropolitan system of water supply
Of Boston, and which stands to-day
practically completed, the average per-
son can form no definite nor intelligent
idea, unless they have seen this mon
ster barrier to the progress OF the
water in one Of the principal streams
in the vicinity where 1t Is located, or
are in possession Of clear ideas Of en-
gineering tactics.
The dam is abor 1900 III, in length,
and rs feet high abO, the ,iginal bed
of the ground where q situated. Its
total height is 100 feet from the foun-
datiOns to the top. These foundations
are built something like 25 feet below
the surface. At the bottom Of the dam
the masonry portion is about IS feet
wide. The overflow is 300 feet long.
This fOrtification, which has been
placed across Stony brook, Is estimated
to have involved an expenditure of
$5OO,OOO. That at Hopkinton, which
dams the water Of Indian brook, ap-
proaches it in size the nearest Of any

THE BOY AND THE APPLES.

A little boy sat on fence and gazed
Oerhead at dropping limb,
And a yearning deep and intense came by
And took possession OF him.
His little red features were covered with dirt,
And his little brown legs were scratched;
There were awful rents In his little gray
shirt.
And his little gray pants were patched.
At length he stood on the topmOst rail
And reached for that dropping limb,
And, catching q slender branch, he pulled
1t slowly down to him.
He pulled it hand over hand until
He could reach the verdant fruit
l shuddered to think of the fate In store
For that innocent little cOot.
He sat on the rail and ate and ate;
The apples were small and green
A clearer case of defying Fate
No mortal has ever seen!
Then he slowly slid from the fence and left;
l said to myself, Goodbye!
Three days from now, my little man,
In the graveyard you must lie."
He was gone! slowly turned away
With heavy heart and sad;
And dropped a silent tear that day
For that fated little lad.
A week had fed and again 1 chanced
To pass by that tated tree;
And when at that dropping branch l glanced
A thrill passed over me.
For there on the fence that urchin sat,
AS he'd sat on that former day,
Putting green apples into his hat,
To be secretly carried away.

Boats Carried On the Heads Of Men.

The achievement has often been re-
ferred to Of the carrying Of steamboats,
on the backs OF men. The expression
is not quite accurate, for the Congo
natives are trained from infancy to
carry burdens on their heads. When
European on the lower Congo sent
his black boy to store to buy some
cigarettes, he was surprised to see
the servant return with the tiny pack
age on his head, When a Congo wo-
man has smoked her much-loved pipe,
the treasure is likely to repose on her
head until she again requires 1t and IL
her husband, unfortunately, has been
able to procure bottle Of rum, he
walks home with II nicely balanced on
his head, throwing stones at stray dogs
and cats In his way, without the slight
est idea that he Is really an expert
equilibrlst Most Of the many thou
sands Of pieces Of steamboats, were car
rled on the heads and not on the backs
Of men.
The $4,000 natives Of the lower Congo
who have been carrying these steam
boats and all other freight around the
cataraCts are the very men who could
not be induced, eighteen years ago, to
give a helping hand TO Mr.. Stanley.
He wished to carry 1880 man-lOads,
and he had only 100 Zanzibar and Lo-
ango pOrters for the work. Some Of
the natives would sell him a little Of
their time, but they would not carry
his goods more than two or three miles
beyond their homes. Stanley's failure
to secure the carriers he needed along
the river delayed his work on the upper
Congo for more than year, and the
labor question was the most perplexlng
problem with which he had TO deal.
He brought his carriers thousands Of
miles, from Zanzibar and other coasts
Of Africa. --Harper's Round Table.
