Congressional Courtesy.

Once in a while the Representatives
OF Nevada in Washington turn from
the onerous duties of tariff legislation
to place the Morning Appeal under
obligations for kindly remembran-
ces. Last fall we received fifty
pounds of Russian oats from SEN
ator Jones, and as the seed he for
warded to US the year before did not
come up when planted, We determin-
ed to utilize them i'll some way and
fed them to a little black mare. They
worked wonders with the animal, and
caused her to run away after feeding
on the oats for a week. A dog cart
was smashed upcosting SO for repairs.
We don'tblame Jones for that, the
oats should have been fed with more
discretion and mixed with bran.

IlleEitimacX. in Europe.

A table Of statistics made by DR..
Albert LefingweIl shows the Irish
to be the moot ,yirtuons European
people. the ratio of llegitimate births
among them b6lng only t~enty-six
in every thousand The English rate
10 torty-eight, and the Scotch eighty
two per thousand. In Europe at
large. Ireland is closely followed by
Russia, with the low rate of twenty
eight per thousand, and by Holland
with the rate Of thirty-two. The Ital-
ian and French rates are respectively
seyenty-fonr md eighty two per
thousand. comparable. with the rate
in Scotland. Among the countries
that show the highest proportions OF
illegitimacy are Sweden. Saxony. Ba.
varia and Austria. in which the rates
range from n hundred to one hun
dred md forty per thousand. Aus
tria is at the opposite pole from Ire
land, and takes the, lowest place in
morality among the European ma.
tioDs. with a rate Of 146 per 1000.
This inquiry into the causes OF these
varying rates Of illegitlmacy raises
interesting problems. The causes
generally supposed to be principal
factors in the matter are poverty, ig-
norance and the contamination Of
great cities. These DIR. Leffingweu
finds very slight. In Ireland the
lowest rates are in the poorest coun-
ties. Russia, with one of the lowest
rates, Is n Of the poorest countries;
and the author afirms that "there is
nowhere. such uniform relation be-
tween the Indulgence of a people and
the prevalence of illegitimacy as to
justify the hypothesis that this phase
Of moral delinquency in any district
or country can be accurately describ-
ed as caused by it's poverty.-New

THE LoNeFELLow STATUE.
Fitting Memorial of the Poet MT Port
land, His birthplace.


land, His birthplace.
One of the best instances of what the
statue of any great man should beat
any rate, in the respect of it's situation,
its perspective with regard to other
memorials and the local estimation in
which it is beld--is the statue of Long
fellow at. Portland, says the Atlantic.
1t is a dignified seated figure of the poet
in bronze, occupying n conspicuous site
in the best part of the town, in the mid
die of a square which is known as Long
fellow square. The statue was raised a
few years ago by q fund, solicited
through n wide field, but chiefly OBJ
tanned in Portland. The sculptor was
chosen through that curious local spirit
which has affected ~unfavorably many Of
our architectural and other monu-
nients. He was avowedly selected be-
cause he was a "Maine man." though he
had never seen the poet. However, the
result in this case seems to have been
happy. The statue has much beauty
and the likeness is said to be excellent.
This statue stands in the poets native
town, as is entirely proper. 1t may APP
zeal every day to the eyes of thousands
Of young people, born very much as he
vas born, who should see insitthe sug.
gestion of possibility for them. Poet
icnlly 1t makes the stranger fancy the
genius or spirit of the man still lingers
ing among the scenes of his youth, and
1t symbolizes the satisfaction which
every man feels to have. his mime re
mcmbered in his native town.

Suicide of Cicelli Podesta,
the Mother of Six
Children.
No Cause for the Woman's
Desperate Deed Is
Known.
Early in ths Evening She Was Light.
Hearted and Happy-At 10 Sh.
Was Dead

Mrs. Cicelli Podesta, the mistress OF
comfortable home at 1929 Clay street and
the mother of six children-the oldest IA
years OF age and the youngest tiny baby
girl of IS months mitted suicide last
draught of strychnine. The motive
which prompted the deed is mystery.
Mira Podesta returned to her room after
doing some shopping at 6 o'clock in the
evening. Half an hour later her husband,
Antoine Podesta. who drives a wagon for
Cavagnaro's winehouse, returned home,
and supper was prepared. During the
course of the meal the woman, according
TO Podesta, was in the best of humor, her
mind apparently being free from any
thought of death.
At o'clock Podesta retired and bis
wife stood on the doorstep conversing
and joking with some friends VINO chanced
to pass. The friends left and Mrs Po-
desta walked into her husbands room.
She carried glass in her hand and with
out saying a word raised it TO her lips and
drained it's contents. She then called to
her husband, who was i'll bed, and told
him that she had taken poison.
Podesta refused to credit the stateme mt
for a short time. Mrs. Podesta finally
reeled and fell heavily to the floor. and he
then knew that her statement was true.
He hurried for ply sician, but when the
phytician arrived it was too late.
An antidote administered failed to undo
the work of the poison, and IN half an
hour the unfortunate woman was dead.
The Coroner's Office was then notifie led,
and the body was removed to the Morgue.
Mr. Podesta is heartbroken over the
death OF his wife, who was but 90 years OF
age, and is at loss to understand her
strange act.
