wasch the storm soud fly across the moon
and listen to the moan of the reef bfoy
minqIing with tho creakipg If tho epafs
of the ship, perhaps have good ground
to believe that this place 10 haunted by
demons Of the deep and the souls Of dead
comrades.
It ia no wonder that the Inhabitants Of
the KEYS the "Cbnehs, have grown
rich in wrecking. In these latter days,
however there are fewer wrecks in the
strait than there were some few years
ago. for Uncle Sam has marked th @ con-
tour of the dangerous hidden reef with
fine system of lighthouses, each with
light of separate and distinct character,
SO that the mariner may know how to
shape his course in the BLACKLIST and
stormiest of nights.
The job of lighthouse keeper is about
the loneliest way Of making "a living in
the catalogue of occupations. The
mental strain has proven so great in sew
eral Instances that the keeper grew mel
ancholy to such a degree that he ended
it by blowing out his brains. The sys-
tenn is now so arranged that the sudden
darkening OF an Important reef lamp By
a suicides bullet is not probable, for two
keepers are stationed in each light for
companys sake as we'll rs to guard
against sickness.
These two keepers of the key lights for
two months m q stretch seldom see any
faces except their own, and converse
with nobody except each other. The
lighthouses are. on al average, twenty
miles from land,s and ships pass from ten
to twenty miles away. The Eighth uses
are built of four great iron pillars,
founded deep In the coral aud towering
toward each other. Platforms of steel
bind the pillars together, sleeping and
storage rooms are constructed and the
lamp crowns all. The place is not peril
Gus, but in storm must be what the
oolored folks call lonesome" to an I'M
canny degree
After two months of service the keeper
has month ashore to spend with his
family or how he pleases. The families
of the reef lightkeepers are not allowed
in the houses. They are looked upon
as distraction that might cause the
keeper to neglect his duty.
Most of the keepers have developed into
ON n ivorous readers. Some of them.
however, have pursued steady purpose,
and one we have in mind prepared him
self for admittIance to the Ear, and mas
since become one of Key Vests most
eminent lawyers. He has dramatic
manner of expression, and learned 1t, so
tits said, by 'oratin" TO the winds and
the waves, and his single companion.

A Few OGat OF Nanny Thousands
Performed by DIR. FrOst's
Famous re mclsieS.

rlr. Frost's Rem edies ars fast superced-
ing old methods of curing disease. Any
live druggist will supply YOU at 20 cents
u bottle,-sepaIate remedy for each
disease.
Among tie wonderful cures that have
astonished medical men may ne men
toned the follow ing:
Roland Afford, II Ccncannon street,
Provi 1ence Il. l., lay hopeless rheu-
matte cripple from June. 1884, To Febru.
airy, 1885. g Nine doctors and the cole
brated Rhode Island hospital declared
him incurabls and beyond human help.
Hearing of the marvellous power of Dr.
Frost's Rheumatism Cure he began its
use in January. 1895. and in three
months threw away his crutches forever.
In September, 1886, hs returned to work.
William Ashwortb of $40 Locust street,
Fall River, Mass, suffered the fortunes
of rheumatism fer ffteen years and
couldn't bear even a felt Slipper on his
foot. Ia October, 1895, he began to take
DIR. Frost's Rheumatism ours, and in
less than mouth was cured, although
the bost city physician gave him mp as
inouratle. Like Rowland Afford Of
Providence, H. l.. ha had previously
taken enough medicine to stock small
drug store and had spent hundreds Of
dollars in vain.
Elias Trip of 346 Purchase street, New
Bedford, Mass has been frequent
sufferer from rheumatism for years, each
attack laying him up for weeks AID
months at time. Doctors and patent
medicines were of slight benefit until the
atsack "wore off. - Recently he was
Frustrated while at work, and for two
days and nights lay abed in awful agony
more intense than ever before. Two
bottles of Or. Frosts Rhen'natism Cure
sent him back to work in thirty six
hours.

very sad, and the Legislature ought to see

The court las decided that the Hon.
Mr.. Pingree of Michigan may be at the
same time Governor Of the State and
Mayor of the city of Detroit. Most people
would consider one office of the size OF
either of these quite enough, but Mr..
Pingree is not like most PEOPLE. Further
more it appears to be the desire of the
Detroiters that he should continue to run
that city as ell as the State, which is
a pretty good reason in itself why be
should stick.

Gov. Black is getting pretty soundly
denounced by Republican as well as
Democratic papers of New York for his
up pointment of Lou Payn TO the in
suranee commissionershiI. Mr.. PayD may
not he and probably is not, as black as
he is painted, but 1t is evident that he
does not enjoy the confidence of the peo-
pie and that is reason enough why he
should not have been placed in public
office. 1t has taken good deal of cour-
age to appoint him in face of the opposi-
ton, but courage in defying public opin-
ion in the executive officer Of state is
not generally to he commended. A gov
ernor is the servant of the people and
their wishes and prejudices ought to
have weight with him, even if he
deems them unreasonable. But in this
case they seein very reasonable.

President-elect Mckinley seems to have
made anlideal selection for Secretary OF
agriculture in Prof. Wilson of the Iowa
Agricultural college. Prof. Wilson is
not merely theoretical farmer as all

being the case he ought to know what
the farmers want, or at least what they
ought to want.

AS if the Senate had not matters
enough to attend to, Senator Chandler

be to hire hall, or write an article for

Good Law.

The supreme court of Wisconsin re. gently put the fear of God into one oI the judges of that state who sought to punish one of the leading papers for contempt. The opinion of Chief Jus. tice Winslow IS splendid victory for the press, and could be read with ad- vantage at the Arizona courts. The court said:
 ''It may be admitted that there is too much personal abuse of candidates for office in the columns of newspapers, but there is ample rem edy for it without having one man assume the duties and responsibilit es not to men ion the honors of plaintiff, she if judge, jury and jail or all at one time. Besid all these respon,. biities Judge Bailey was candidate for ofice, and the supreme court holds that ct such time the free right of the press to critcise cannot be suppressed. As very general proposition q candidate for office is not injured by the pubfi- cation of falsehood about him. That might have been possible once, bat there are too many newspapers now and the people are too intelli- gentto not know a falsehood without fail at sight. But 1t iSa most frequent occurrence for candidates for offices for which they should ot be elected to attack the press f T telling the truth about them. FalsehoOds 6On't hurt tut the truth very often does. When contempt proceeding or libel STit is hurled at 6 newspaper itis gene ally safe to conclude that the newspa- per has been dabbling with the truth "

Murder and Suicide.
Albuquerque Democrat


 Between the hour of l2 and l on Sun day double tragedy occurred at Gal lup.
 Clemente Rubi of Pajarito, while walking with Rafelita Bustmante V BareIa on Fifth street, shot her twice in the back, causing death almost in. stantly. Rubi then ran about three blocks. with deputy marshaIs William Murder and Charles Doan in pursuit, when seeing that he could not escape, he ran into the home of Dan Miller and shot himself in the head, dying instan- tly.
 The murdered woman was the wife of Victor Barela, with whom she has not been living for some time. She was about 20 years of age and wes very at- tractive in appearance. She was 8 waitress in the hotel of Thos. Hinch, and for the past few months has not borne very good reputation. Rubl had been paying her great many at- tentions and it is supposed that in. factuatIon and jealousy or lovers quarrel led to the murder and suicide. The murder worked for J. D. O'Bren. nan, the Santa Fe Pacific section fore man at Gallup, and had charge of one of the gangs of workmen.
