TWAS A FALSE FACE.
Minnie Scott Did Not Show
Up as the Charming Young
Woman Represented by a
Photograph.

ShelbyVille. Ind. Feb. 4
Three months ago Minnie Scott,
near this city, answered the
a ldress Of a party in ST. Louis,
Mo-, who had placed an adver-
tisement in newspaper want
ing a correspondent with ma
rimonial intentions. The cor
respondence soon resulted
in the exchange of pho
tographs and a marriage pro
posal upon the part of the male
correspondent, who proved to
be Henry Barr, and who wrote
that be would arrive here yes
terday.
Miss Scott made preparations
to receive Barr and went so far
as TO arrange with the family
minister to perform the wed
ding ceremony. Yesterday Barr,
who is a middle aged man, of
good appearance, and we'll to-
do, it is said, arrived here and
went to the Scott home, where
he was warmly received.
The mans action showed
disappointment, however, and
making an excuse to walk out,
he did so, and coming to the
city be left for home, sadder
but wiser man.
The photograph he carried
v 18th him was far from being
the likeness Of his correspon
dent in several respects, and
while he was hastening to his
distant home the minister, the
bride and invited guests were
anXiousfy awaiting his return.

Detectives ]. J. Kinney and
C. c. Montgomery have been
in the city for the past few
days quietly working on the

to the arrest of the above par

trial today it developed that

ship it to Wilson in Texas via

companying each notice from
Rearick to Brown was a check
for S., which was the compen

Mr.. Edward Atkinson IS re
ported in the Atlanta Constitu
ton as having remarked, in an
address delivered in New Jer-
sey, that the country can not
be prosperous again until the
farmers, and those who depend
on them, are in a measure, re
couped for the enormous losses
they have sustained since 1893.
These losses are estimated
by competent authorities to
amount in the aggregate to the
vast sum of S2,ooo,ooo,o 600;
two thousand millions OF dol

This is so unphilosophical
that we hesitate to believe that
the remark proceeded from a

SLEEP.

Times Democrat.
In spite of the Investigations
made into the matter of sleep, and
the careful study of the entire sub
ject, We evidently have not yet
solved the problem. There is per-
haps no subject of such general
interest that we know less about,
and even the doctors hesitate to
pronounce what amount of sleep
is necessary, and take the view
that it depends largely upon the
person, and that A can get along
with six hours, while B requires
ten.
Nikola Tesla, the electrical ex-
pert who has been studying the
question of sleep throughly, de-
fines it as a communicative storage
battery for human energy. and de-
clares that it is while q man is
sleeping that he is accumulating
that force which is lost while he is
awake. The longer a man sleeps,
therefore, the longer he will live.
If he will or can sleep eighteen
hours a day, there is no reason
why he should not live 200 years
1t is true that his working hours
would be no longer than the pan
of seventy sleeping six or eight
hours night, but then this exten.
|sion of life to 200 years would be
q boon to many.
Tesla supports his theory
which is, of course, only theory
by many strong cases cited
among them Gladstone and De
Lesseps, and he establishes very
clearly and beyond dispute tht
fact that the man who sleeps reg
ularly and gives himself enough
rest, lives longer and enjoys bet
|tef health. How true his theor!
lis otherwise cannot of course, b'
determined for lack Of facts; bu
lit is possible indeed probable
that it will encourage some expe
riments, and we will soon learl
whether adding a few more hour
to sleep each night adds 80 many
wears to ones life.

Blrd pestructlOn On the PacItlC.

From Our Animal Friends.
On the Pacific coast the destruction
of bird life is carried on as q mere mat
ter Of business, and shOVtsightedly at
that, millions of eggs being annually
destroyed for the sake Of the albumen
which they contain. Dried slbumen is
an article Of commerce largely used In
the manufacture and testing Of pepain
and other chemicals, In the msnufac-
ture OF what is known as ''alum curd, "
and also largely In photography, 1t is
worth about 25 cents per pound, and
was formerly obtained exclusively from
the eggs of the domestic fowl. In
later years the demand has been sup.
piled chiefly from the eggs Of migra-
tory wild fowl, particularly the wild
duck of Alaska. Not unfrequently as
many as / 200, 1900, or even 1900 bar
rels Of these eggs are forwarded in one
train of cars over the Canadian Pacific
Railroad; and as the number Of partly
hstched eggs Is probably as great as
the number of those that are taken,
the wholesale character of the destruc-
tlon that is thus carried on appears to
be beyond all computation. Naturally,
the number of migratory birds which
return to these places of destruction ID
growing annually smaller, and within
q few years the murderous trade must
cease, But 1t will only cease with the
destruction Of the birds; and on the

"The amount paid any one year as

is less. What 1 would have is q law
for each county to insure It's own school
houses on the same plan as death losses
are paid by the A, o. U, w. The
value of each school house Is easily de-
termined. Let the county make good
the loss in CSse Of fire or damage by
lightning or cyclone, on a basis Of one
half or two-thirds value on whatever
per cent. the Legislature thinks proper,
and each district pay It's share of loss
in proportion to It's value. This would
be absolutely fair. No one would ever

The methods Of our fathers will not do

The Referendum With Reference to the Pub
lic Grant Of Franchises and Privileges.
EDITOR ADVOCATE:-The new char
Ter of Springfield, Mass, will provide
that sll public franchises shall be sub
mitted to q popular vote. When the
boodlers have to buy a majority Of the
people as we'll as @ majority of the mu-
niCipal legislature, their expenses will
be so much increased that they may
conclude to pay something like fair
price for the privileges they ask for.
And the new Governor Of Michigan
is after the boOdlers of that State who
have pocketed franchises to the tune Of
millions without fee or reward for the
same. New York City, too, is at last
aroused to her interest through the gas
imposition suffered by her people.
But In many cases the awakening is
too late, fear. The horse is gone be-
yond recovery, or a recovery can only
be had after long and expensive litlgs-
tlon. 1t Is astonishing that shrewd
and business people should have per-
mitted their great avenues Of trade
and traffic and intelligence (their rail
road and telegraph franchises) to have
been made q free gift of to few cum
ming, crafty and unscrupulous sharp
ers like Gould and Huntington, with
the privilege Of management and tax
alton of community according to their
will and caprice. The State of Illinois,
more fortunate, didn't fall into their
tolls, and az consequence the Central
railroad of that State to-day pays q
large share Of her taxes and relieves
the people accordingly,
A parallel case to the sacrifice of val
liable railroad franchises by the States
and cities without money and without
price is the demand now made by the
bankers Of the country for the exClu-
sive privilege of furnishing the cur
rency of the Nation at a cost Of
millions to the people, instead of the
Government furnishing it as it does
