sHoRThANDiN THE SENATE.
IL. Mason Of Illinois the Latest Pothoek
Expert to He Elected.

Gr. Mason Of Illinois the Latest Poth0ek
Expert to He Elected.
The election Of Billy Mason will add
another competent shorthand reporter to
the membership Of the United States
senate. Several years ago he was con-
sidered one of the best in the country.
Judge Withrow of the Rock Island rail
road used to say that first class stenog-
rapher was spoiled when Mason went
into politics.
It is not generally known that Senator
Chandler Of New Hampshire is also a
proficient stenographer, like Representa-.
tive Hit of Illinois. Both of them have
been professionals, and both still use the
shorthand system in making notes dur
ing debates, committee meetings, etc.
Although he has not had active practice
for % or 30 years Mr.. Chandler is able
to make and transcribe his notes as rap
idly as when he was q young man in
daily practice as reporter for the su.
preme court of New Hampshire.
One day in a committee meeting OF
senator's there was q lively dispute be.
tween Mr.. Chandler and . Democratic
colleague. As it grey heated Mr..
Chandler, who is always an exasperat.
ing antagonist In controversy, accused
his opponent Of contradicting himself,
which the latter stoutly denied.
II will tell you exactly what you
said," retorted Mr.. Chandler. 81
thought you were speaking recklessly
and would disavow it sooner or later, SO
l took your words down in shorthand. {"
Then he began to read from page
covered with pothooks, and the other
members Of the committee testified to
the accuracy of his report.
Several years ago in New Hampshire
an important legal case arose which
rested upon the accuracy OF the transla-
ton Of the notes of tho shorthand re.
porter who had been employed by an
attorney in the case, and Senator Chan
dler was called upon as an expert. A
great deal depended upon whether Ger.
tain sign in the notes should be trans.
lated "at" or "of" Mr.. Chandler took
an envelope out of his pocket and ON the
back Of it made two marks with lead
pencil.
Now" he said to the attorney, "if
you can tell me which Of those charac.
ters was used in the copy I will tell You
without looking at it which word il
was intended for. The characters used
for at and of are generally similar,
but any stenographer can distinguish
them at a glance. Chicago Record.

A Roman Catholic statement.

A movement toward the Catholic
church, already resembling in its mag
nitude the Tractarian movement of the
thirties and forties, has begun in Eng
lane Fifteen thousand people were re-
ceived into the church during the past
15 months A great number of these con-
verts are from the ritualistic party in
the Anglican communion, and some of
the most notable of them have come in
since Pope Leo XIII confirmed the de-
cisions of his predecessors against the
validity Of Anglican orders. Boston

A Populist member Of the Kansas
Legislature, whose hobby is the intro
'duction Of bills to prevent crime, has an
idea that profanity is the basis of all
wrongdoing, and he argues that II "cuss-
tn'' can be stopped morality can have a
clean sweep. He has therefore intro
6uced bill to prevent swearing, pub
licly or privately, under heavy penalties
and will use his utmost endeavors TO
have it enacted into law.

A Meoal,sA, Bsrrs R,as.

A young lady from the east, visit ing in Prescott, had quite romantic experience on Thursday night. She had been out to spend the evening and as she was on her way home ac- companied by three young gentle- men tha party came across a very in- nocent looking burro taking moon light stroll. One of the party sug- gested t0 the young lady that as she would soon return to the east again she should not fail 10 be able to tell her friends that she had ridden . burro. She thought the experience might prove . subject of pleasant "reminiscences of her Arizona visit and assented to the proposition. The young gentlemen accordingly introduced themselves to the burro, which made no demonstration of dissent from their plans and very meekly and quietly stood there while the young lady was assisted on its back. The meek and gentle ani- nal seemed to take in the situation at a glance and apparently realized that the qaartette was seeking fun and decided to contribute his full share of amusement for them. No sooner was the lady seated on his back than he commenced to rear, kick and buck, aud the wild west show is not to be mentioned on the same day of the circus which oc- cured then and there and which lasted for about two minutes. 1t was a single act affair, but during the period tho lady dismounted and not very gracefully either. One of the gentlemen received kick on the shin, which causes him to walk with a ahalting gait, while the other two were scattered promiscuously on the street. The young lady gained really more experience in burro rid ing than she expected. but is not dissatisfied with results.

A M.,.sasa q O Climate.

It iR amusing to read in one col umn of a Phenix paper that the cap ital city is maligned in the east by the alleged misleading reports of intense heat there. and in another column of the paper read the fol- lowing;
 "A successful shell game of new brand was worked on egg consumers here yesterday by a farmer who lives in the valley. This time the farmer attempted 10 victimize his city cousins, and all but succeeded. A case of eggs was received by a merchant and when opened 1t was found that one of the eggs had matched, and fifteen minutes later when the eggs were exposed to the air, dozen chickens were peeping. The eggs in the first two layers all contained chickens.
 "The merchant reported that as soon as the eggs were exposed to the air the chickens were matched. The temperature in which the crate of eggs had evidently be, since the shipment, will not be changed, and all the eggs will be given a chance to hatch.
 "The eggs which are hatching must have been in a temperature of over 90 degrees for the past three weeks"

A Runaway Accident. From Saturdays Daily.

An accident happened this morn ing, whereby Gray's hack was pretty badly wrecked, and three passengers were shaken up consider ably. Judge Russell, of Kingman, who has been in Prescott as a United States grand juror, was initiated into the Elks lodge ou "Wednesday evening. He left for home on this mornings train, and was being ac- companied to the train by two mem- beFs of the lodge. The team at tached to tho hack, the driver claims, started on rapid gate near the postolliee, aud crossed the ditch on Willis street at such rapid pace, that the driver was thrown from his seat to the ground. The horses be- ing thus frae, increased their gait, and at the Goruer of the street at the depot, collided with a big post and water hydrant, throwing the three passengers in heap. Ben Belcher was unconscious for about thirty minutes, but, on coming to, seemed all right, aud is around today. Sheriff kulIrer escaped with some slight bruises aud scratches, while Judge Russell was comparatively uninjured. The driver also miracu- lously escaped with some slight bruises and abrasions of the skin. The horses were scratched up some, but nal seriously hurt. The hack came out of the collision looking as if n cyclone had struck it. and 1t will cost about $2OO to put 1t into good running shape again.

A telegram from Tacoma, Wash ington says: w. N. Coler, the senior member of the New York banking house of Coler & Go, is here en route home from fifteen months trip around the world. In India, Burmah, China and Japan be made investigations of certain present religious tendencies in those countries. He was surprised to find that in Japan there is much talk of getting up a new religion. Mir. Soler says:
 The Japanese students and think CTS are studying religion as a pract;- cal problem which they be- Iieve will throw much light on the question they are now ask ing as to why the Occident has gone so far ahead of the Ori- ent in civilization. They are reach ing the conclusion that strict mo- raiity h1s much to do with it, and large body of advanced think CTS are seriously considering the proposition of getting up 6 new religion. It is proposed to do this by dissecting the Christian and Buddhist religions, Confucianism, etc, and uniting the best doctrines aud principles of each into the new system.
 "In Tokio and other Japanese cities sll these religions are being liberally discussed. l think they are getting to the point of believ- ing the Christian religion is the most civilizlng, and perhaps that is why so much 3aore liberality is now shown in religious matters than formerly.
 think the work of the mission aries throughout the orient is con tributing directly to the possibility of establishing new religion over there. Their work has resulted in detaching those on whom an impres- sion is made, particularly tho higher classes, from Buddhism, and making them free thinkers ana investigators. This has developed the spirit of re- ligious investigation, now so notice able in Japan. It is possible they may get up now religion which in turn will have reactionary lnau- euce on western civilization. ln my opinion the finest fields at present for missionary work are in Burmah aud Japan"

A Colorado Cave.

Miners in sinking shaft on a mining claim on Cow mountain. Colorado, came upon a remarkable cave. A man was picking in the bottom of ten-foot hole when he suddenly stuck the point Of his pick through the rock into appar- ently unlimited space. He eau tiously investigated and gradually opered up a pit that led to the other world to all appearances. Rocks dropped into the hole, how ever. struck bottom in about two seconds or less, showing that the cave was nUt deep at that point. The men got a rope and fastening it tight above, descended to explore the immense cavern. which proved to be a veritable stoFehouse of ice, Stalagmites and stalactites of pure ice stood like cypress trees from the floor and hung like a ghostly fringe from the ceiling. Exploration was not carried very far, as a yawnDg abyss was encountered at distance of about fifty feet from the en- trance. Chunks of ice thrown down this abyss could be heard rattling and clanking on the sides, but nev- CT a sound of the bottom being touched. Photographs were taken by fashlight and the pictures re- veal the ice in crystal condition forming most fanciful figures. An effort will be made to open the cave to a more thorough exploration The chamber where these pictures were taken is ssVenty-fve feet high and about fifteen feet wide. Be yond this the cave widens and the interior seems abysmal.

The Rrsun sr,.m.

An important change as regards employees of the operating depart ment of the road, will take place on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa E'e railway on August l. On that day the Brown system of discipline in the government of employees will be inauguFated.
 This is the system of demerit marks in cases of violation of rules or neglect of duty now in force on many of the largest railroads Of tho United States.
 After August l, suspensions will be things of the past on the Santa Fe. Instead of receiving a lay of of for ten, twenty, thirty or sixty days, an employee Of the engine or train service who violates ths rules, neglects duty, or fails in any manner to carry out his work properly, will be charged with so many dement's, the number to be regulated by the gravity of the ofense. When the number of demerits reaches the limit. on some roads so, and others %, and still on others loo, the snl- plOyee is discharged. Discharge un. der the system is final.
 h the office of each division su- peTintsndent 6 book containing the record of every employee in the engine and train service on the ro- spectiVe divisions will be kept. Every employee will have the right to inspect his own record, but no sm- ployes will be allowed to see that of another. In this book demerits will be entered for every offsnss, and every employee will know his exact standing.
 Three years of service without a demeFit mark wipes out all demeris marks received prior to that time, under this system.
 Collisions, drunkenness aud gross or immoral conduct are not affected by the system. In all of these in- stances, discharge will follow after the inauguration of the system as it does at present.
 The system will in no way affect l investigations. Investigations will l be carried on as at present, but when 1 a man is found to have violated a | rule or neglected his duty, he will l be charged with demerit marks l instead of being suspended from ser vice for 6 stated length of time.- Albuquerque Citizen.

rr.sm.u, of i. Meteor sosaa.

A recent telegram from Wichita, Kansas, says: A piece of the big meteor seen here June l9, has been found ten miles southwest 0f Wich- ita. It is loug, jagged splinter oi heavy black carbon, with thread like veins of a bright metal running through it, and it smells strongly of sulphur. It is ouly few inches in length and less than half foot at its greatest diameter. Nitric acid fail,sd to touch the mineral portions and experiments with the blow pipe showed it to be neither gold nor silver.
 The fragment aerolite was found by Herman Jabz day or two after the big meteor buried itself in his wheat field. There was a large cir cle of wheat stubble burned about where it fell. and under the stone was puff of fine white ashes. The vegetation about the place indicated exposure to great heat, and, as u was in the center of large field where there is no possible chance for fire, the heated body must have seen part of the meteor. JahE aud his men were at work in the field ali night harvesting wheat, aud when the meteor passed there was strong smell of sulphur immediately after the flash and preceding the detOna- ton. The sulphurous odor con tinued for some time, and no doubt came from tho burning fragment of metallic stone found afterward and brought to this city.

Judge Sloan received his com mission as associated justice this morning and was sworn in by Judge Hawkins and succeeded the latter on the bench of this district.
 Tho fact of the arrival of the con- mission seems to have beeome gen orally known to tho bar and on the opening of court all the attorneys were present.

On taking his seat on the bench Judge Sloan said it was his desire to consult the con- yenience of attorneys in regard to the business of the court and that the civil calendar would be called tomorrow and cases set. It was de- cided that the earliest case set should be for August l2.
