New YORK, March "A dispatch from
Washington to the Herald says:
Theories that the Maine was destroy
ed by stationary submarine mine on the
bottom of Havana harbor are much weak
ened by information which I have receiv-
ed tending to support Col. Weyler's
declaration to the Madrid correspondent
Of the Herald that no mine had been laid
down 10 the harbor of Havana
Il was informed that the navy depart
ment has evidence that the night after
the arrival of the Maine in the harbor
Capt Sigsbee had a careful investigation
made by means of a steam launch and a
drag at the end of line to ascertain
whether there was mine of any kind be-
low the ship. | was told that the lE YES
tigation covered all the area 10 which the
ship would drift in swinging at her
moorlngs with the changing tide. Moth
lug suspicious was found, according to
my informant.
This Information has not IN any way
strengthened the theory that an accident
inside the ship was responsible for her
destruction. That is too completely co, :
addicted by the evidence which has a !.
ready been submitted to the court tf
inquiry, as shown by the Herald's dis
patches from Havana and Key West.

THE RETORT HOSTILE.
Capital Lobbyists Wife Worsted in a
short But Sharp Tilt.

At recent Washington reception
there was short but sharp inter
change of courtesies between the
wealthy wife of an eX-congressman and
the wife of a far from ricn bureau chief.
1t was crowded afternoon affair. and
the eN-congreSSman's wife was assist
ing the hostess in receiving guests.
When the wife of the bureau official
was presented, the hostess said to the
woman of tie receiving party: you
know Mrs. Blank, don't you?" Ger
family, said the ex-congressman's
wife, Il would know her anywhere by
that pink dress" The cheeks of the
bureau officials wife was sufTused with
rosy glow, but she turned on her tor
mentor and said: Probably if nv hus-
oand had been mixed up in as many
questionable transactions as yours.
madam, it would not be necessary for
me to wear my pink reception dress so
often as to cause comment"
Every word rang out clear and sharp
upon the ears of the astonished guests
1nasmuch as there had been frequent
criticism of the ex-congressman for his
connection with questionable lobby
transactions, the force OF the bureau
officials wife's retort can readily be
imagined.

Deaths BetrothaI.

few years ago a New York newspaper
conducted an open discussion upon the
topic: Is Marriage a Failure % The
answer Is easy and upon the surface. Where
there Is mutual love and respect, if there is
also health, marriage is a success. When
health is left out, even the most ardent love
does not count, and marriage is invariably
a failure.

so often that all should realize the dangers

THE EASTERN CHEROKEES,
Decision of n Federal Court That They
Are Not Citizens.

arc MOI S1t1ZenS
In a decision by the United States
court of appeals in the western district
of North Carolina, says the New York
Sun, it has been virtually declared that
the eastern band of Cherokee Indians
ere not citizens of the United States.
Some of these Indians have been vot-
ing for so years. They have more than
once held the balance of power between
the two political parties in western
North Carolina. The chief question in
volved is the right of the eastern band
of Cherokee Indians to sell the timber
from land for which it holds deed
The decision of the court is that the
band has NO right to make any con-
tract whatever without the sanction of
the United States government. The
court says the eastern band did not
become citizens by virtue of the treaty
of New Echota in 1885. 1t is remarkable
that the court in it's decision ignored
the case upon which the defendants
mainly relied, that of the case of the
eastern band of Cherokee Indians
against the western band. decided by
the supreme court of the United States,
III U. S. Rep, wherein Justice Field
held that the members of the eastern
band were citizens.

Are You Going To Live 10 Alaska?
Some Requirements that will be Found
INDISPENSABLE.


The universal article OF diet in that
country, depended upon and indlspens-
able, is bread or biccuit. And TO make the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail yeast cannot be used.-it
must be baking powder; and the powder
manufactured by the processes of the
Royal Baking Powder Company, miners
and prosI &c rs bav. at ed is the Only
one which Will stand in that peculiar :
mate of cold and dampness and raise ii Q
bread and biscuit satisfactorily.
These facts are very important for
every one proposing to 90 to Alaska and
the Yukon country to know, for shonld
be be persuaded by some outtitter TO take
one of the cheap brands of baking pow
der, 1t will cost as much to transp port / :,
and then when he opens it for use, after
all his labor in packing it over the long
and difficult route, he will find solid
caked mass or lot Of spoiled powder.
with no strength and useless. Such a
mistake might lead to the most serious
results. Alaska is no place in which to
experiment IN food, or try 10 economIze
with your stomach. For use in such
climate, and under the trying and tatlgu-
ing conditions OF life and labor in that
country, everything must be the best and
most useful, and above oil it is imperative
that all food supplies shall have perfect
keeping qualities. 1t is absurd to COZ
vey over such difficult and expensive
routes an article that will deteriorate in
qulred for use To have lost great pt TT
of Its value.
There Is no better guide to follow in
these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar experl-
ence. Mr.. McQnesten, who is called "the
father of Alaska" after an experience OF
years upon the trail, in the camp, and in
the nse of every kind OF supply, says:
"N . find IN Alaska that the mp )rtance
OF a proper kind of baking powder can
not be overestimated. A miner with
can OF bad baking powder is almost help
less ID Alaska. We have tried all sor;s
and have been obliged to settle down to
use nothing but the Royal. 1t is stronger
and carries further. but above all thingr,
1t is the only powder that will endure the
severe climatic changes of the arctic re-
gIon.
LII Is Tor the same reasons that the u.
5. Clover nmeGt IN its relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous arctic traveller,
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor loee it's strength either on board
ship or IN damp climates, and is the most
highly concentrated and efficient of leav-
eninR agents. Hence it Is Indispensable
to every Alaskan outfit. 1t can be bad
of any OF the trading companies IN Alaska
but should the miner procure his supplies
before leaving, he should resist every at
tempt OF the outfitter to palm off upon
| him aIy Of the other brands of bakin q
powder, for thew will spoil and prove I'll g

Vessels Beneath the Sen.

A hollow vessel, formed of metal or
any other substance, and Theoretically
sealed, can be made to float under the
water at given distance without sink
ing to the bottom. Copper, for exam
pie. is nearly nine times as heavy as
water A cubic foot of copper made in
a hollow, tight vessel of nine cubic feet
capacity, would just float. By making
it slightly smaller it would float at
some depth below the surface. Careful
measurements and exact calculations
would be necessary to float such yes
sci at required depth. A torpedo
boat capable Of carrying six persons
and remaining a number of hours IN

THE USE OF CORAL
1t II by No Means as General As II
Was Formerly


1.-THE beautiful coral necklaces and
brooches that were once SO fashionable
are seldom worn now by women in this
country" said New York dealer in
rare and curious ornaments to a Wash
ington Star reporter recently. "Thir-
ty years ago the material was in great
demand for all sorts of articles of per
sonal adornment. At the present day
coral is used largely only in such coun.
tries as Abyssinia, the Congo, the Cape,
India and Ceylon, Siberia, China and
Japan. The choicest pieces are used
for the buttons of Chinese mandarins
or for ornamenting the turbans of rich
Mussulmans, while the inferior quail
ties are sent to less civilized countries,
where they are employed for various
purposes.
Coral has been often used as money
in oriental countries. but that use Of it
is now declining. Barbarous and semi
civilized peoples employ it largely for
ornanenting arrows, lances and pixies.
and also for decorating ccrpses before
interment. Prices have varied much
of late years, rapid decline in value
having taken place, owing principally
to the scarcity of good and the compare
tive abundance of inferior qualities.
Besides the loss accruing to the fish
erman the present scarcity of coral is
very seriously affecting the large num-
Der of people employed in preparing the
material for market. There has been a
great decline in the number of women
thus engaged at Leghorn. and the same
state of affairs is evident at Naples and
Genoa, the other principal seats of the
industry. Nowadays the proportion of
inferior quality is so much larger that
fewer persons are required TO manipu-
late the quantity. No machinery or me-
chanical process is employed. The
workman simply takes pieces Of coral
into his or her hands, one after an
other, and, according to their thickness.
quality and defects, works them into
certain forms. Their wages run from
Is cents to 35 cents per day"

Called ZebrOid.
The mule, says Cosmos, partakes Of
the qualities of the ass and the horse
The zebra having now been domesti-
Gated, it has been asked whether we
can obtain from it an analogous half
breed. Baron de Parana has obtained
che and calls it the ''zebroid." The
young animal is now six months old;
it is a male of bay color with stripes
similar to those of the zebra. These
stripes are well marked on the neck,
the head and the legs; those of the body
are not visible, because of the thick
winter coat. The name is black and
resembles that of the zebra; the tail
looks like mules, but has longer hair.
The ears are small with rounded points
like the zebra's. The haunch is well
formed, rounded, and quite large; the
chest is long and high, which makes the
animal hold its head high, and conse-
quently gives it a good carriage. The
eyes are large and full of feeling; the
nostrils large: the lips small and much
like those of Arab horses (the mare
the mother of this zebroid, was one
quarter Arab; the head is small: the
legs muscular, but delicate, showing
that he will be very agile; the hoofs
small black and very hard. He is very
lively, bat very gentle, and loves to be
caressed: He eats very well, rot only
in the stall, but in pasture. These
facts, we are told, are from communi-
cation made by the. breeder to the Ma
tional Acclimation society, which is
shortly to be presented with a set of

OYSTER GROWING IN A BOTTLE
Interesting Curiosity Found in the
RnppahannOck River.


d. NJ. Nelson, agent of the Weems
Steamboat company at Urbana, on the
Rappahanrock river, lately brought up
TO Baltimore a curiosity discovered by
him which has created considerable in
terest among steamboat people about
Light street wharf, reports the Balti-
more American. 1t is a live oyster of
large size growing out of the
mouth of yeast powder bot
tie, which was found on the
shore of the Rappahannock river. The
oyster is considerably larger than the
bottle, and only a small portion is in
side. Upon the sides of the bottle are
several small oysters of tiny size, firm
ly fastened there. Mr.. Nelson has
brought up a story more wonderful
than his oysters, and for which there
has as yet been no evidence produced.
1t is of an old gentleman who lives near
trbana, and who, so the story goes,
while bathing during the summer lost
a set of false teeth, which floated away
or went to the bottom. Lately, while
dredging, an FISHERMAN brought up to
the surface pair of false teeth
around which q number of oysters
were cGnging, some of them of good
size, and fastened on firmly. The old
gentleman promptly identified his
teeth, and keeps them as a curiosity.
