Had Nothing More to Say.
In the afternoon the court went out
to the barracks, where all the survivors
of the Maine were mustered. The men
were asked if they had any charges or
further statements to make. Not a
word came from the ranks, and, after
whispered consultation, the work OF
the court of inquiry came to an end.
The stenographers were kept busy
during the rest of the afternoon and
caught up with their notes of the testi-
mony. The proceedings at the barracks
lasted about an hour only and were
conducted with great privacy.
Judge Advocate Mark, in reply to an
inquiry, said that SO far as he knew the
court has no more work to do at Key
West.
The Mangrove is lying at her dock
with steam up, but it is said on good
authority that the members of the
court are awaiting instructions through
Rear Admiral Sicard from Washington
as to whether they shall return to
Havana at once.

Distractions on the Truckee

In August last Fish Commissioner G.

Tahoe to Pyramid Lake in Nevada. The
trip occupied two weeks. Photographs
were made of all the dams and artificial

distractions i'll the river in Nevada are
numerous, but Mr.. Gould visited Carson

Ter and other state officials as well. also
with well-known sportsmen there and
In Reno regarding necessary legislation
for the better protection OF the fish in the
Truckee river in Nevada, and satisfactory
plans were made that seemingly insure
favorable action, the only hitch being
the brush dam located in the river five
miles above its mouth on the Pyramid
Lake Indian reservation. This dam is
the worst obstruction in the river. is
built of brush held in place with rocks.
No fish can pass over it at any stage OF
the water, and being located near the
mouth of the river it is of vital import
ance. The dam is not only an obstruc-
ton, but it is also a trap. tt Indians
co~ngregate at this dam every spring and
spear thousands OF trout that have run
into the river from the lake to spawn.
They sell tons of these fish every year.
The dam is nsed to divert water to the
irrigating system of the reservation and
was constructed and is controlled by the
Interior Department.
Upon Mr.. Gould's return to San Fran
cisco the subject was presented to the
Interior Department at Washington and
the correspondence which ensued was
terminated on Wednesday last.
Secretary of the Interior Bliss says:
"Your latest letter is to-day referred to
the Commissioner of Indian Affairs and
directions given him not to permit the
work to be neglected or delayed, and to
the dam to be removed at the
earliest pra ticable date, and that if this
cannot be lone before he next spawning
season, that he cause to he constructed
such a fish-way as the laws of the state
Of Nevada require, and not to permit

"The observance of Easter dates back to about the year 68, at which time there was much contention among the Eastern and Western churches as to what day the festival should be observed. It was final ly ordained at the Council of Nice in the year 325 that it must be observed through out the Christian world on the same day. This decision settled that Easter should be kept upon the Sunday first after the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month, but no general conclusion was arrived at as to the cycle by which the festival was to be regulated and some churches adopt ed one rule and some another. This di- verslty of usage was put an end to, and the Roman rule making Easter the first Sunday after the fourteenth day of the calendar moon was established in Eng land in 669. After nine centuries dis crepancy in the keeping of Easter was caused by the authorities of the English Church declining to adopt the reforma- tion of the Gregorian Calendar in 15S2. The difference was settled in 1752 by the adoption of the rule which makes Easter Day always the first Sunday after the full moon which appears on or next after the twenty-fifth day of March. If the full moon happens upon Sunday, Easter is the Sunday after."-April Ladies' Home Journal.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours i; a sediment or settling indicates an un- healthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate, or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
 WHAT TO DO.
 There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great k idney remedy, fulfils every wish relieving pain in the back kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inabil- ity to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp Root Is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have sample bot tie and pamphlet both sent free by mai, upon receipt of three two-cent stamps to cover cost of postage on the bottle.

Making 1t Clear.

To confuse witness is generally an easy task, and lawyers know no easier way than to may witness explain the meaning of his words, knowing that very few people can do so without get ting excited. Occasionally a victim re- sents this nagging and answers in 8 spirited and unexpected manner. A lawyer was cross examining young girl of rather naughty temper. She had tes- tified that she had seen the defendant "shy" book at the plaintiff, and the lawyer had seized on the word.
 "Shy-shy a book? What do you mean by that? Will you explain to the court what the word shy means?''
 The girl leaned over the desk beneath the witness box, picked up lawbook and threw it at the lawyers head, who lodged just in time.
 CT think the court now understands the meaning of the word .shy.'' y said the judge grayely, and the girl was al- lowed to finish her testimony without further interruption. - Strand Nigga zine.

STREET or MANY NAMES.
Residents OF Ono Greonvil1e Street
Don't Know Whore They Arc At.

There is a small street In Greenvlile
which enjoys the distinction Of having
had more titles than any other In this
cities. This thoroughfare is about 300 feet
in length and runs from Ocean avenue. 1t
ends abruptly in a swamp at the rear of
the Wegman estate. This street OF so
much distinction is situate between Bid
wed avenue and Dwight street. When it
was cut through some years 8 Main
street was the title conferred upon it and
shortly after this was changed to Henry
place. About three years ago the title
was again changed to Fitzpatrick street.
The Wegman estate takes in very nearly
ali the northern side of the little street
and for that reason the Wegmans were
DESTROYS of having the street named after
them. Application was mad to the Street
and Water Board, hut the petitioners were
told that if they were willing to defray
the expenses of advertising. which is done
according to law when a streets name is
TO be changed, why the Commissioners
would proceed to comply with their re-
quest. The cost of advertising, they were
told, world amount to about $40. The
petitioners refused to pay the amount re-
quired, and one morning the residents in
nat vicinity were surprised to lind the
old sign, fitzpatrick street, torn down and
a new board sign bearing the words Veg
maj place In its stead. The Wegmans
say that they have instructed all their
correspondents to address their letters to
Wegman pace. The conductors on the
Bayonne and Greenville lines call the
street by any of the four names which
the street at one tim or other was called.
