EATING BEFORE n eEPutG.


It IL q Wise Plan Provided You Are Care
full About What You Ea1
All animals, except man, eat be-
fore sleeping, andthere is no reason
why man should form an exception
to the rule. Fasting during the
long interval between supper and
breakfast, especially the. complete,
emptiness Of the stomach during
sleep, adds greatly to the amount
of emaciation, sleepleesness ana
general weakness 80 often met with.
It is we'll known that 10 the body
there is perpetual disintegration
of tissue, sleeping or waking. Il
is, therefore, natural to believe that
the supply of nourishment should
be somewhat continuous, especially
in those in whom the vitality is
lowered.
AS bodily exercise is suspended
during sleep, with wear and tear
correspondingly diminished, while
digestion, assimilation and.nutritive
activity continue as usual, the food
furnished during this period adds
more than is destroyed, and in
creased weight and improved gen.
eral vigor is the result. If the
weakly, the emaciated and the sleep
less were to take nightly light
meal of simple, nutritious food be-
fore going to bed for a prolonged
period they would be raised to q
better standard of health.
It has been our experience that
after digesting a bowl of bread and
milk or q saucer of oatmeal before
going to bed, for few months, a sur
prising increase of weight, strength
and general tone has resulted. This
course is not recommended to those
persons who are stout and plethoric

TO INVESTIGATE THE SEMINOLE
LYNCHING.

Senator Quay has introduced a reso-
luton in the senate instructing the
secretary of the interior to investigate
the facts attending the alleged burning
of two Seminole Indians in Oklahoma
territory. And that the investigation
may be thorough, the sum of $4,000 is
appropriated.
We are heartily glad that this resolu-
ton has been introduced, and hope that
it will pass. If the fiends who burned
those two Indians can be caught and
punished as they deserve it will have
a most salutary effect on lynchers
throughout the Country. This particu-
lar crime having been committed on
territory that is under the jurisdiction
of the United States, the general gov
eminent can very properly move in
the matter of Furnishing the perpetra-
tors of it. If the resolution passes
both houses, as it likely will, the gov
eminent machinery will soon be set in
motion, and something win doubtless
be done. 1t will have a salutary effect
on public sentiment in those sections
of the country where lynchings are
common, and will tend to arouse public
sentiment everywhere to true realiza-
ton of the horror and disgrace of
these crimes against the majesty of
the law and in defiance of the sover-
eign authority of the states.
Lynchers can be brought to justice
as we'll as other criminals of all kinds.
And let them be brought to Justice in
a few cases. and it will be a very
much easier matter to bring them to
justice in subsequent cases.
Senator Quay probably desires to
have the interior department undertake
the investigation because the Indians
are under the care and supervision of
that department.; otherwise. he would
probably have had the department of
justice undertake it.

arose en- n1asse against any concession
whatever to silver, and yet in the face
of that demonstration last October, we
have Bill Chandler telling the idiotic
lie that the president considers the
negotiations with the European pow
ers only temporarily suspended on ac-
count of the peculiar condition of af-

If the Wolcott commission could not
succeed no other could. To send an
other commission to Europe to try and
accomplish what the one just returned
failed to do or to send it back again,
would be absurd and subject it and

Senator Chandler says that he talked
with the president on the question of
bimetallism with the result given in his
interview. Is the Times-Herald au-
thorized to deny its authenticity? I'm
less it is the interview viii have to
stand until the president either denies
it or authorizes its denial or until Sen
ator Chandler withdraws it.

Tenderloin Sergeant Tins Declines tc
Answer Questions Touching the
Murder of Caesar.

New York Times: During the last hours
of the reporters night watch in the Ten
derloin the warmth and comfort of the
West Thirtieth street station are much
sought after. From midnight until 2 a.
M time drags heavily to the workers on
the morning newspapers, who can usually
be seen sitting in a circle around the
stove. Half asleep, they talk of the latest
'.shake-ups'' in the various offices. tell
of the large bills that they used to make
before the new journalism flooded the
Row with crafty westerners or gullible
southerners, and look at the clock every
five minutes to see if it is not yet time to
call off the watch.
At regular intervals Sergeant Tins
occasions the last two hours of the Ten
derloin watch find the newspaper men

mutual protection.
mark, and withal a good, generous officer,
and liked by the reporters, but he has his
limitations. If necessary he will take
an extra day off to consult musty volumes
in his little library at home, storing his
mind with knowledge or rare subjects
with which to harrass the ranks of the re-
porters.
What is the greatest depth of the Pa
cific ocean? What is the highest noun
tain of Asia? And, by the way, can any
of you young gentlemen tell me what
gives rise to the opinion that there are
open seas at both the Arctic and Ant
artic poles?"
These are samples of what Sergeant
Tins will fire at the group about the
stove in the early morning. Sometimes a
return volley of wild guesses will be
launched at him. but this is only sign
of the mental havoc played by the assault
from behind the desk and the wilder and
more frequent the guesses the more de-
lighted is Sergeant Tins.
few nights ago one of the reporters
entered the station with something up his
sleeve for the well-read sergeant. Just

scribe TO his fellow-sufferers. 'and then

can any of you young gentlemen give
me concise and comprehensive definition
of the difference between the terms An

The reporters edged up on the stove and
hurled back chorus of Give it up;
When the difference had been duly
launched in elegant English from the
desk. the reporter with something up his
sleeve cleared his throat and queried
Sergeant Tins 10 this effect:

A series of nudges passed from elbow to
ribs around the circle as the learned ser
geant brought the fore finger of one hand
to his brow as if to aid him in busting off
his knowledge OF history. Oppressive ST.

of two minutes and il looked as If the

TO CHANGE INAUGURATION DAY


Yesterday Senator Hoar presented a
joint resolution proposing an amend
ment to the constitution. The resolution
provides:
That the following article be proposed
to the legislatures of the several states
as an amendment to the constitution OF
the United States:
The term of Office of president and of
the Fifty-sixth congress shall continue
until the Goth day of April, in the year
1901 at noon. The senators whose ex-
listing term would otherwise expire on
the 4th day of March in the year 1901,
at noon, or thereafter, shall continue in
office until noon OF the Goth day of April
succeeding subsequent expiration, ana
the 30th day of April, at noon, shall
thereafter be substituted for the 4th Of
March as the commencement and ter
mination of the official terms of presi-
dent, vice president, senators and rep
resentatives in congress.
The resolution was referred to the
committee on privileges and elections;
it viii probably be pigeonholed by the
committee. For many years there has
been more or less discussion, at times,
of the question whether it would not be
a wise thing to have the president in
augurated later in the season than now.
A chief argument urged in behalf of
the change is that the weather on the
4th of March is almost invariably bad,
and that has the effect to spoil, in large
measure, the ceremonies on inaugura-
ton day.
There would be no disadvantage in
changing inauguration day from the 4th
of March to the S0th Of April, while
there would be some advantages. Tho
objection that it would prolong the term
of the president during whose admin
istration it occurred, and also the terms
of some representatives and senators,
isn't a serious one, in fact, it is petty
rather than anything else. There
would be the advantage of nearly two
months time added to the short ses-
sion.
The change proposed by Senator Hoar
would seem to be advantageous on the
whole His resolution will serve to
draw out public opinion on the ques-
ton.

TO ASCERTAIN HAWAIIAN SEN
TIMENT.

The Provo Enquirer says that
Professor Benjamin Cuff, jr., president
of the B. Y. academy, is going to
Hawaii for the special purpose Of
ascertaining what the sentiment Oh
the native population on annexation IS.
1t seems that he goes at the insuga-
ton of Senator Cannon and will report
the result of his labors to him.
Professor Cuff is well qualified to
undertake this mission. In his early
youth he spent five years on the
islands and after he reached manhood
estate he spent three and a half years
on the islands, and all the while among
the natives. Their language is as
familiar to him as his own and he mas
a thorough acquaintance with the ma
tives' character. We do not know
whether Professor Cuff favors or OPP
poses annexation, but from what we
know Of him we feel assured that he
will make a thorough and impartial
investigation of native Hawaiian senu-
ment on the question of annexation
and will report it exactly as he finds
it. He will ascertain what native sentl-
ment is from the natives and will not
take any second hand statement of
what = IS.
What the result of the professors in
vestigation will be or whether or not 1t
will have any influence one way or an
other on the question of annexation no
one can know, but it will be satisfac7
ton to have it made that the true sent1-
ments of the Hawaiians may be known
The congressional delegation from Utah
will feel that it knows more about the
state of affairs in the islands after
Professor Cuff has been there and
made a report if no other delegation
does, for each member of it is person
ally acquainted with him.
We understand the professor will be
gone about five or six weeks. 1t is by
no means impossible that final action
on the question of Hawaiian annexa-
ton may be taken before that time.
At all events the result of his mission
will be awaited with interest.

FALLING FOUL OF CHANDLER.

The Chicago Times-Herald, stanch
supporter of the administration, falls
foul of Senator Chandler because of
his recent interview in which he de-
clared that the president stands firmly
in favor of international bimetallism;
that he considers the negotiations with
the European powers only temporarily
suspended on account of the peculiar
condition of affairs in India, and that
it is the presidents intention to again
send his ENJOYS to Europe as soon as
the conditions are favorable for con-
tinuing negotiations.
No red rag Haunted in the face of a
bull ever enraged it more than this
statement of Chambers enrages the
Times-H Herald. 1t says that he is a
charlatan and a thimble-rigger, un-
scrupulous in his methods, with faith
only in mendacity and chicanery as the
weapons of the politicians. 1t de-
nounc s his statement as a piece of
trickery, and says that it is a manifest
lie. But let the Times Herald de-
nounce him in its own language, for il
does it in the finest of style. After
quoting that part of Chambers state
ment referred to above, it says:
This is a manifest lie, for two very
good and sufficient reasons. In the
first place the president has too fine
g sense of decorum and too much pride
in his country to send back q commits
sion whose propositions have been once
rejected, and in the second place If he
had even a remote intention of re-
opening the negotiations Senator Chan
der would be the last person in the
world TO whom he would confide that
intention.
Think of Bill Chandler, who before
the providential nomination never
spoke of Major Mckinley without dis
paragement and contumely, using all
the mendaciouS arts at his command
to defeat him in the convention, now
posing as the spokesman of the presi<
dent on the most important issue be.

TREASURER OF THE BOARD OF
EDUCATION

About the most pressing question be-
fore the board of education is that of
selecting a treasurer. There are
number of applicants for the position,
doubtless all competent. But the ques-
ton of who shall be treasurer is not
so much one of persons as of banks.
Each applicant is the representative of
some bank that desires to have the
school moneys deposited with it. When
the board is out of funds it is always
necessary to make overdrafts, and it
must be accommodated in this respect.
The safety of the school moneys and
this accommodation are the elements
that enter into the question, Who shall
be appointed treasurer? By far the
more important of these two is that of
the safety of the school moneys when
on deposit. So far as this is concerned
the board should designate as the place
of deposit of school moneys the bank
it deems safest and most secure; the
public interest and no other should be
consulted. A year and more ago this
city lost $4,000 by having that amount
placed on deposit with rotten bank.
No such chance should be taken with
the school moneys; in fact, it is very
doubtful if there is such a rotten bank
ing institution in the entire state as
that was.
The matter of accommodation, while
an important one, is one that can gen.
orally be arranged satisfactorily. The
question of the treasurership, resolves
itself into one of banks. Let the safest
and soundest be selected.

The suggestion that the custodian force

shall also be eligible for appointment

also be deemed a wise one. 1t is said
