take into consideration these other po-

Inherited Political Mannerfssm


An old politician, in discussing the
career and character of Senator Harris,
said today: Whenever an unusually
strong man appears in a state he becomes
a pattern which young men for a long
time copy. Mr.. Harris always had Gen
eral Jackson in his mind. He copied
Jackson's earnestness and resolution. He
was fully as brave a man physically and
IN every other way. In Kentucky Henry
Clay was the model. The young men ali
copied him. 1t was the fashion to be al
~ternately gracious and imperious. Public
eak too, all showed the effect of
Clays manner. Thomas F. Marshall,
John c. Breckenridge and others repro
duced fairly well some of Clay's effects
as an orator and leader. They lacked his
genius, but they knew how to be chiy-
alrous and slightly bullying by turns, IN
Pennsylvania Simon Cameron exerted a
marked influence. He cared little about
oratory, but gave a good deal of time to
organization. The result was the perfec-
ton OF the machine in politics. Quay as
a leader shows the Cameron influence dis
tinctly. He fights according to the Cam
eron tactics, and. 1 have sometimes
thought. employs them quite as skillfulIy
as the man who devised them. In New
1ork,- Martin Van Buren, may still be
traced. Seward and Tilden. though on
opposite sides. both copied some of Van
Burens shrewdness. Mr.. Tilden. in turn.
trained a lot of young men in the same
school. David b. Hill is one of them
The Jacksonian energy and the Clay man

bers OF the campaign committee. and he
cares not who makes the speeches. Ha
likes to speak we'll enough. but he does

HArness Thieves

Early last night Captain Robert Green,
ON duty at the city hall, was informed
hat a couple Of half-grown negro boys
they had probably stolen. He sent out
some officers to bring them In, n they
were found and arrested at Sixth and
Chestnut streets. Mr.. Humphrey has a
grocery store there, and they had sold
the harness to him for 81. He suspected
the boys and telephoned to the city hall
about them. The arrest was made by
Policemen L. P. Thomas and w. ]. Orr.
and while they were bringing their pris-
oners along Chestnut street to the hall
one Of the boys suddenly scaled a fence
and made his escape. The other, whose
name is Robert Williams, was lodged in
the guard house.

fact too well known to be ques-

the heart and nervous system has dur

record for reference, study and COM
parison, of more than q, 1000 affections
of the brain, system and
heart. The results Of Dr.. Miles ex-
tensive experience and prolonged
study of disease he has embodied in
the form Of a system, mot one only,) OF
Restorative Remedies. A full descrip-
ton Of these remedies with instruc-
tions how to administer them, togeth-
er with the symptoms of the diseases
they will cure is given in DR.. Miles

which is sent free on request.
8 In the treatment of heart disease,

has resumed its normal condition,
there is no more pain and the remedy

Section 1881 of the Political Code
provides a mode in which owners OF
land in reclamation or swamp land dis
tricts may reorganize portions of such
districts. Nothing is said about public
corporations. If there were swamp land
districts which We're not corporations.
the act would apply to them as well
as to those which were corporations.
The Act of 1861 has been repealed, and
there is no agency now provided by

Reclamation districts are not muni-
Nor do they belong to any class of
corporations defined in Section 2S4, c.

NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS.
Three Scientists Who Will Try to
Trace Their Origin.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Dr. Franz
Boas, Curator ofthe eAnthropologial Sec
tion of the American Museum of Nat
ural History, and DR.. Livingston Far
rand of Columbia University, left this
afternoon for the Northwest where they
will make a study of the ethnology Of
the Indians of the North Pacific slope,
in British Columbia. Harland A. Smith,
who is to work with them, left a few
days ago.
The three scientists intend to COM
plete a systematic study of the North
American Indians and other people of
Northeastern Asia, with a view to trac-
ing the historical connection that has
long been one of the theories of the
origin of the American Indians. Ex-
petitions will go out every summer
under the auspices of the Museum OF
Natural History for six years. Next
years work will be along the Coreans
and the peoples of the Northeastern
Asia. Morris K. Jessup, President of
the museum, has provided the funds
with which the expedition will be
equipped.

originally provided that transfer could

A verbal agreement for an exchange

To prove that an accused person
signed the name of another to an in
strument, and that he passed such in
strument as genuine, does not prove the
commission of crime. 1t must still
be shown that it was a false instru-
ment and this is not proven until it is
shown that the person who signed an
others name did so without authority
Until this proof is made it is not shown
to be a false instrument, and the de-
