an Equitable Tariff Law.

Washington, May Ex-senator Can
non of Utah has offered the following
as an amendment to the tariff bill:
From and after sixty days from the
passage of this act there shall be paid
out of any moneys in the treasury not
otherwise appropriated, to any exporter

This amendment is the result of
conference of silver Republicans, Popu-
lists and some Democrats, and may be
said to represent thu sentiments of the
element in the senate which puts silver
above all other subjects of legislation.

POPLAR CAMPAIGN POLE.
Takes Root and Democrats Consider
it a Lucky Omen.

Lawrenceburg, Ind, May 26.-Several
weeks preceding the last presidential
election the Republican club of Milan
procured a tall, stately young poplar
tree and, trimming it bare of all
branches except a few at the top,
planted the pole on the premises of Mr..
Isaac Van Dyke, then from its branches
fastened a Mckinley flag. When the
Republicans were tainted with the as
sertion that the free silver party had
chosen poplar as their distinctive wood,
and the poplar tree was recognized as
representative of free silver, the flag
was pulled down but the pole was left
standing.
This spring, to the surprise of every
one, the discarded pole disclosed new
life and put forth bright foliage. The
free silver voters in this vicinity point
to the tenacity of life possessed by the
mutilated pole to illustrate the latent
powers of their party, that they claim
cannot be killed by defeat, but will ap-
pear again to secure to the country the
long promised prosperity.

NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIA-
TION MEETING.

For the meeting of the National Ed
vocational association at Buffalo in 1896
the excellent service given by the
Union Pacific was commented on by all
who had the pleasure of using that
line. This year our educational friends
meet in Milwaukee, Wis, July to 9,
and members of the association and
others from points west of the Missouri
river should by all means take the
Union Pacific.
The service of the Union Pacific
via Omaha or Kansas City is the very
best. The equipment consists of hand
some day coaches, chair cars, Pullman
buffet and drawing room sleepers, din
ing cars and buffet smoking and Ii
brary cars. Fewer changes than via
any other line One fare. plus $3.50 for
the round trip will be the rate from all
points west of the Missouri river for
this meeting.

refused to pay the bill, upon the ground
that she was being imposed upon.
Mrs. Paxton claims in her petition
material, and that she gave nearly two
months of her own industry to the
work which Mrs Brice ordered. She
submits an itemized statement of the
goods furnished. Most of the work
was done for the Brice tables, and as
the Brices were among the most noted
entertainers of Washington, the fash
iOnable set at the capital who have
seen the articles over which there is
now a suit at law have a choice bit of
gossip. When the case comes up for
trial the city hall will no doubt re
semble a fete occasion, on account of
the society DANES and damsels who will
be called on to hand in their opinions
regarding the fineness of the damasks
and the deIicacy of the stitches.

100000 PAWN TICKETS.
Striking Display to Be Made by
Sweat Shop Workers.

New York. May 26-One hundred
thousand pawn tickets, that represent
the restitution of the 10000 striking
tailOrs of the lower East side, will be
shown to the people of New York.
Leader Myer SchOenfeId said:
Let me gather together all the pawn
tickets, and the world will know then
the terrible significance of 16 hours a
day at the machine for Sc a week
Ninety of every hundred of the strikers
have pawned everything they can pos
sibly do without. There is not a mem
Der of the executive board of fifteen

in pawn
The tickets will be made into a huge
banner which will be displayed at the
parade next week, and will serve as an
expressive object lesson of the extent
of the suffering and privations of the
sweat shop workers. They represent
perhaps $500, 600 worth of goods that
have been parted with-for about $780,

COLLEGE PAPERS ROASTS.
Jokes in the Annual of the Brown
University Seniors Very Coarse.

Providence, R. I, May 26-''Liber
Bruensis,'' the college annual of Brown
university, issued by the senior class,
or rather by a committee chosen from
the twelve leading societies, is creating
a great agitation this year.
The book is usually made up of mild
and harmless grinds on various mem
bers of the class and faculty. This year
it has broken all bounds and it's satire
is severe and coarse and contrary to
all Brown traditions The faculty's
first thought was that the entire board
of editors should be suspended. Now
they have announced that they are sat
isfied with the lengthy but severe lee
ture they have given the writer's.
The jokes to which most exception is
taken make fun of real infirmities of
professors. For instance, one of the
most respected professors at Brown is
Dr. S. S Packard, whose speech is
slightly affected: His speech is like
tangled skein, nothing impaired but all
disOrdered,'' was the quotation they
put opposite DR.. Packard's name.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., son of the
Standard Oil millionaire, is a member
of the senior class.

HOT WATER CURE.
Louis Mecke Put to Soak as a Cure
for Gangrene.

New York, May 26.-The remarkable
experiment of. constantly keeping a
man in a bath tub filled with water
heated to a high temperature and hav-
ing him eat, drink and sleep there in
the hope of saving his life, is now be-
ing conducted at Bellvue hospital, and
the physicians, not only of that insti-
tuition, but medical men generally, are
vastly interested in the outcome.
The patient who is being experiment.
ed upona is Louis Mecke.
1t was on May that he was admit
red to the hospital and every day his
condition became worse. Sores had
broken out all over his body, and as the
skin became dry and hard all the
poison, instead of being cast off, was
returned into the blood and tissues,
making death a question of only lit
tie while.
Everything that could be done to re-
3ieve AIecke's sufferings was tried, but
without any apparent benefit. In spite

Corset Comfort
For Corset Weary Woman.

We are showing to our GUS
toners The Nazareth Waist for
Women. This is a knitted gar
ment. In this one feature alone
it differs radically from the usual
Corsets or Corset Waists, which
are made from woven, non-elas-
tic fabrics. 1t has the greatest
amount of fleXibility without the
stiffness of a corset. The bones
are easily removed and the waist
washes as easily as a handl<er-
chief. For invalids it is miles
ahead of any garment of this
kind known. while for cycling,
house wear, and at all times
when the regular corset is un-
comfortable, this is a perfect
substitute. For hot weather

track at breakneck speed, but separating
as they go. When the momentum is ex-
nausted one horse is found to be in tie
lead. He who holds the mum Der corre-
spending to this horse gets the pool, less
two portions held back for the bank. To
vary this scheme of open and fragrant
robbery. boats are sometimes substituted
Tor horses, and yacht race takes the
place of horse race. Thus a man is
given the option of losing his money on
water equally with that of losing 1t on
land. Such game could never have ex-
listed in America. 1t is too simply OBJ
viously and absurdly against the player.
But at last the fat-witted European,
along with the gullible stranger, has got
onto 1t, as the saying Is, and les petitS
chevaux and autour du lac no longer suf-
fice to lure the unwary. But even in Eu-
rope there is a certain progress. So the

OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 3.-BrigadIeI
Emma Bown, who is at the head of the
rescue work OF the Salvation Army in this
country, addressed large audience this
afternoon at the First Presbyterian
Church.
Like flowers stained with mud" was
the smile she used when speaking OF
those among whom she has labored and
by whom she has been beloved for twelve
years.
A large audience, larger in fact than the
hail could accommodate. was gathered to
hear the little brigadier's talk. In plain,
earnest language she told the same old
story OF waywsrdness, wickedness and
ultimate disgrace, with the necessity
thereby occasioned of accepting the help
ing hand of her many lieutenants.
'Do not think that all of those who
come to US for help are naturally bad.
Many of them appear in my sight like
flowers stained with mud. They are chill
dren who in many cases have been the
victims of other peoples sins rather than
of their own. Young girls often of good
families confide to US tales that society
would doubt, but to all our doors are open

nounced his intention for the present oi
devoting himself to the practice of law ii
will not be long before he is again heard
from in the political field.
For the past few weeks little has been
heard about the scheme taken in hand by
the Board of Trade to acquire for the city
of Oakland some public parks worthy OF
the name. The board has in its posses
sion information relating to many of the
most desirable localities available for such
purpose, and will soon be in position 10
place, before the City Council Tor the pur-
pose of ultimate submission 10 the people
a report which will EN- body many practi-
cal ideas. 1t will also contain the sug-
gestions of system by which such
parks can be acquired. There is no
doubt that the slowness which marks the
development of certain outlying districts
Is due in a large measure to the failure OF
the municipality to provide healthful at
fractions that would draw around them
new communities.
Only in two directions, northward and
westward, can this be done. Much has
been said about the improvement and set
tlement of the property along the foothills
north OF this city, and also OF the devel-
opment of the Moraga Valley and the ter
ritory on either side of the little California
and Nevada Railroad. Now that the own
ers are making efforts to open up this
territory is the proper time for the people
10 acquire public demesne of which they
will be as proud in future years as San
Francisco is of its Golden Gate Park.

THE JOHNSON CASE.

Sharpe and Howard III Jail, Awaiting
the Girl's Death.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 3.-Some strange
developments were brought to light to-
day in the case Of Anna l.. Johnson. AT
the City Prison her sister, Hulda, DR..
Sharpe and John Howard await in cells
her death, which is expected hourly.
1t is now known that Howard is the
husband of Hulda Johnson, though the
affair has been kept profound secret and
probably would not be known even now
but Tor the course events have taken.
1t is generally believed that John How
ard is not the guilty party, but that he is
keeping quiet on the promise tina. nothing
shall be lett undone TO save him. 1t was
stated to-day that the cause of Annals
trouble was her betrayal by a married
man who is providing the necessary funds
10 protect the other party and, incidental
". himself. 1t is not probable, however,
that the trial of the parties now under
arrest can be conducted without the real
facts coming to light. This is not the first
case of its kind with which the name OF
DR.. Sharpe has been mentioned. There
are many other incidents connected with
the unhappy affair which are in the pos
session OF the detectives.
