WHARF CANNOT BE RESIDENCE,

baltimore Men Who Live on Piers
and Boats Not Allowed to Vote.
Judge Richie the other day at Balti-
more decided that wharves and piers
cannot be constituted legal residence
from which to register as voters. As
result many names will be stricken
from the books in the steamboat dis
trict. The men were registered from
the piers as residing on steamboats, on
which they were employed.
The case was unique so far as Mary
land was concerned, and but one of the
sort could be found in the law books of
the country. That was the case of
George W. Collins, the owner of a. light
er employed in New York harbor. He
lived On the lighter and was allowed to
register and vote from the lighter at
tached to certain pier.

THE BACCHANTE STATUE.

New York Art Museum Still Receiving
Protests Against Its Acceptance.
Although the Bacchante of MacMon-
MES has been formally accepted from
Charles F. McKim by the trustees of
the Metropolitan Museum of Art at
New York and has been placed on her
pedestal of green Connemara marble,
Gen. Louis P. Dicesnola, the director of
the museum, still receives protests
against its acceptance.
Letters have been received from Rev.
w. F. Crafts, superintendent of the re-
form bureau at Washington, D. c., and
Aaron G. Powell, presidentof the Amer
lean Purity alliance. The last protest
to come in is from Mrs. Harriet S.

SUING FOR PART OF A WAGON.
Peculiar Litigation Arising from
Joint Ownership Of a Vehicle.

Peculiar Litigation Arising from
Joint Ownership of a Vehicle.
Papers in a peculiar lawsuit have
been filed by A. o. Montague, of Boone
county, Mo-, against his neighbor, j. 81.
Palmer. The suit is to replevy part OF
a two-horse wagon, alleged to have
been unlawfully taken by Palmer.
It seems that the wagon was owned
by Montague and Palmer in partner
ship. The latter owns the bed and
three wheels of the wagon, and the for
mer owns the tongue, one wheel and
both axles.
All went well until the other day.
Two sons of Montague were driving in
the wagon carrying a load of corn.
Palmer stopped them, ousted the boys,
threw out the load, and, hitching his
own horses to the vehicle, drove rapidly
away. This brought on the suit, which
will involve several very odd legal
points.

NOT THE IDOL OF THE PEOPLE.

Why London Papers Made So Much
Fuss Over Duchess of Teclk's Death.
A London letter says that owing to
the death at Richmond, England. Of
the duchess of Teck all the great So
cial arrangements have been cancelled
at court and general mourning will be
ordered. The newspapers are making
a great deal of fuss over the death Of
the duchess, appearing with turned
rules and printing pages of obituary
matter. Her royal highness was I'M
doubtedly a good woman, but, certain
ly, she was not the idol of the people
which the papers make her out to be,
and her great virtues were not recog-
nized until, by the marriage of her
daughter to the duke of York. she be-
came the mother of future queen of
England. Prior to that the Tecks had
for years been in great financial diff
culties and occupied an unenviable po-
sition among royalties both here and on
the continent.

RICHER THAN KLONDikE-

Place in Alaska Where the Gold Can
Be ScOOped Up in Paddles.
Capt. B. Cogan, of the steam whaler
Thrasher, asserts that there are richer
gold fields on Ketzebue sound than any
thing that has yet been discovered on
the Yukon. When the whaler was at
Point Hope on her way into the Arctic
last spring the Indians came in with a
quantity of gold in small sealskin bags.
They said there was plenty of the same
stuff in the auckland, Neatak and Ke-
wax rivers, and what they had had been
scooped up with their paddles.
Capt. Cogan, Capt. Whitman, late Of
the steamer Fearless, and one or two
other whalers, are bound for Ketzebue
sound next spring. The whaling bark
Northern Light, now in Oakland creek,
will probably be fitted out and will
carry the party to Point Hope.

COMPENSATION ACT.

English Law Making an Employer
Liable for Fatal Accidents.
Consul Phillips, at Cardiff, Wales,
sends to the state department a report
concerning the workmen's compensa-
ton act, which goes into effect on July
1, 1898. This act makes employers IL
able for accidents causing death and
injury to employees and affects more
than half the labor in the United King
dom. The mine operators are protest
ing against the enforcement of the act
and declare that it will greatly in
crease the cost of production. The
greatest opposition comes from the
owners of coal mines.

LOST ON ALKALI PLAIN.
Terrible Experience Of Geo. Schill-
ing, Of Chicago, in New Mexico,
Misses His Way While Looking for
Gold Hill and Spends Three Days
and Nights without Food
or Drink.

Lost in the mountains and desert
plains of New Mexico for three days
without food or water is what George
A. Schilling, resident of Chicago for
% years, has just experienced. The
other day he was brought to Lords
burg, N. NJ, by George P. Brown,
ranch owner, who found him lying near
the tracks of the Deming division OF the
Santa Fe railroad. Physicians have him
under their care and they say he will
recover.
Mr.. Schilling was secretary of the
bureau of labor statistics under Gov.
Altgeld. Heis now connected with the
Chicago Gold Hill Mining and Milling
company.
Through the cactus-covered hills and
the alkai deserts he wandered, and
when found he was all but dead. His
feet and limbs were covered with cuts
and briars and thorns; his eyes are
nearly closed from the effects of the
all1ali dust. =
The recovered wanderer has been in
New Mexico state for some time in the
interest of the mining company. Re-
Gently he left Silver City, where he had
gone to, send some messages to G. S.
barrow, of Chicago. After finishing
his business he left Silver City for Gold
Hill in company with Mr.. Speed, a
ranchman. Leaving the horses at
what he took to be Gold Hill mountain
and travelled until that night, only to
find on reaching the mountain that it
was not the coveted Gold Hill, and that
he was lost and alone without food or
water.
The other morning he walked until
moon. Coming in sight of hut, he
!hastened his weary steps, only to find
the place uninhabited and without the
coveted drink of water or any sign of
life. He posted note on the door say
ing he was lost, and if anyone happened
that way to notify his company. That
night he laid down to rest with his
throat parched and suffering from the
lack of food.
After a long tramp he threw away
his coat and satchel and staggered
on in the hope of finding help. He found
a little damp mud, and with this he GOV.
cred his arms, feet and limbs in the hope
OF cooling his blood. He gave up hope
when night came, but suddenly he
heard the whistle of railroad engine
and soon came in sight of the Santa Fe
tracks.
Here he was found by Mr.. Brown an6
brought to Lort1sburg.
