Senior Don Francisco Silvela, the
new premier of Spain, is an eloquent
orator, and was minister to France
some years ago. In 1897 he was the
leader of the political group known as
the dissident conservatives. His pol
icy, as set forth in January last, calls
for the development of SPANS indus
trial resources, electoral reform, the
establishment of a ministry Of public
works and commerce, an increase of
indirect taxes and the exclusion of pol
itics from the administration of JUS

1t looks as If ancient lineage had
gone down before new dollars, judging
from the fact that many historic houses
in London have ceased to belong to the
families whose names they bear. The
duke and duchess of Marlborough are
now tenants of Arlington house; Ches-
terrified house is not owned by Ches-
terrified, but by Lord Burton, of ale
fame; Butte house knows the marquis
of Butte no more; Dudley house is no
longer the home of Lord Dudley, but of
John Robinson, the South African mil
lionaire; Cambridge house, where the
father of the duke of Cambridge lived
and where Lord Palmerston also lived,
is now the Naval and Military Club;
Lady Wimborne is to give up VIM
borne house to Mrs Ogden Goelet this
season, and Spencer house is still held
by the Barney Barnato estate.

INDICTED FOR BRIBERY.
Dan Coughlin Charged With At

CHICAGO, June 22-Indictments
charging Dan Coughlin and his barten-
der, William Armstrong, with bribery,
We're returned to-day. CoughIin's bond
on two charges is fixed at 5000, while
Armstrong; is 5000. Both men de-
clared their ability to secure good
bondsmen. The bench warrants, which
were issued at first for the two alleged
jury bribers. were dismissed.
Coughlin served years in prison for

but was acquitted on a second trial.

and No Banks of Issue q Rem
edy for Depression.

: WASHINGTON, June 22.-Joseph 3.
4Ager, President of the Maryland State
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, was
before the Industrial Commission to-
day. He said a trust among the farm
ers such as was suggested by Mr.. Have
meyer was impracticable owing to the
difficulty of getting the farmers to hold
up prices. Speaking of colored labor,
he said it was unreliable because of the
natural Incidence and Indifference of
individuals of the race. Liquor, he re-
garded as the great bane of that peo-
pie and responsible for nine-tenths of
the crimes committed by them. Mr..
Ager considered the condition favoring
the farmer worse than it was twenty
years ago.
: But he believed money invested in
farming safer than in other lines. He
attributed the number of abandoned
farms in the States to the fact that
they were owned by non-residents.
Mr.. Ager said the granger was not
so prosperous in point of numbers as
formerly, and he attributed the falling
off largely to the fact that the Grange
could not be used III politics.
L. w. Youmans of South Carolina oc-
cupied the witness stand during the aft
ernoon session. He said the agricu1-
.tural interests of the Southwest was
greatly depressed and he attributed the
depression to the fact that silver was
not recognized as money metal. He
said there had not been an increase in
the volumef of money to correspond with
the increase of volume of population.
In consequence there had been a gen.
eral depreciation of values. He was
proceeding to develop his views upon
this point when Major Farquhar made
a point of order against the character
Of the testimony and the point was
sustained by the Chair Hon. A. l..
Harris). after a somewhat spirited en-
counter between Representative Liv-
ingston and the Republican members.
Mr.. Youmans then proceeded to other
considerations. He thought the tariff
also an obstacle to progress, saying that
while the cotton growers of the United
States were compelled to compete with
the cheap labor of the world in sales
abroad. they were not allowed to buy
the product of that labor in other arti-
cles abroad without paying a duty of
40 per cent. upon it. AS remedies he
suggested the free coinage of silver, a
lower tariff and no banks of issue. He
had tried the diversification of crops
and had not been successful
Mr.. Youmans said he had no fault to
find with colored labor and that he pro-
nounced it infinitely better than i'm
ported labor.
Il employ 300 to 400 negroes" he
said, and 1 find them docile and willing
to work. I go away and leave my fam
ily among them feeling confident of
their safety and protection
He thought, however, that the negro
was as a rule irresponsible to efforts to
educate him and that while he willing
~ paid his share for such efforts at
education he considered the money so
spent as thrown away.

PRICES OF WOOL.
CloverdaIe Reveille: The wool growers
of Sonoma and Mendocino Counties
can well be satisfied with the price
received for the spring clip of wool.
The truth is not for several years have
they received a higher figure for their
product, and the sale Thursday eyinced
the fact that they were all well pleased
and can return to their flocks with re-
newed vigor and with the satisfaction
that prosperity is with them SO far
as wool is concerned There was
large crowd and it was generally re-
marked that the sale was one of the
largest held for several years and
passed off very satisfactorily. Buyers
were plentiful and the keen competi-
ton that prevailed showed that the
wool industry is on the amends and
has a ready market. There was con-
siderable quantity sold before. wool

was very good and clean and over six
hundred bales were sold.
POULTRY POINTS.
Australian Agriculturist: There are
seven good reasons why farmers should
raise poultry:
1. Because you ought by their means
to convert a great deal of the waste
on the farm into money. in the shape
of chickens and eggs for the market
2. Because with intelligent manage
ment. they ought to be aH-year revenue
producers. excepting. perhaps, during
the moulting season..
3. Because the manure from the poui-
try house will make a valuable compost
for use in either vegetable garden or
orchard. The birds themselves, II al
lowed to run in the orchard, will de-
stroy many Injurious insects.
4. Because, while cereals and fruit
can only be successfully grown in GER
tain sections, poultry can be raised for
table use or to lay eggs in all parts OF
the countury.
*. Because poultry raising Is an en-
ployment in which the farmers VIE

A QUICKSILVER NINE
Cloverdale Reveille: Quietly and eff
fectively the work of opening up the
old Cloverdale quicksilver mine is go
ing on, and in a manner that bespeaks
in the highest praise that ere many
weeks pass away the whilom indus
try will again be fourishing with Its
old-time prosperity.
Messrs. C. B. and H. B. Lawley are
the young men that are at the head OF
the enterprise, and the manner in which
they are pushing the work shows them
to be judicious workers and with al
most lifetime experience in the bust
ness and the exceedingly encouraging
prospects before them points very ia
vorably that they will make success
of the mine.
A 'Reveille'' representative had the
pleasure Wednesday of meeting the
above gentlemen and noting the work
that lis being done in putting the ma
chinery, furnace and tunnels in order
At present only one furnace will be
operated, but later ON large one with
the latest ideas for effective work will
be put in. Two of the old tunnels have
already been cleaned out, and the gen.
tlemen are we'll satisfied with the good
outlook for large deposit of rich ore.
Lumber is now being hauled to build
the tramway The gentlemen state
that in six weeks time they expect to
start the mine. At present twelve
men are employed, and once the mill
is started the number Of employees will
be increased.
The operating of this mine will GER
tainly prove large factor in advanc-
ing the business interests of Glover
dale. and the Lawley Brothers should
be given all the encouragement posi-
BILE in the good they are doing. We
wish them every success possible.

The North Fork Placer Mining Com
pany on Coffee Creek Is getting things

soon as their property is opened up
and developed it will be one of the
best propositions in the district.
A Mr.. LOFTS of Sweet Brian Camp
at Castella discovered a promising
looking prospect on Coffee Creek about
three weeks since. 1t Is on the same
belt as the Heating mine, about two
miles away, outcroppings showing at
intervals the entire distance. Very
coarse gold is found in every pan of
ledge matter. Mr.. LOFTS is very en-
thusiastic about the outlook for Coffee
Creek, and predicts great deal Of de-
velopment this year.
The Tellurium ledge on the ridge be-
tween Union Creek. branch Of Coffee
Creek and the South Fork of the Sal.
mon, which was discovered last year by
r., D. Lawrence, is creating consider
able excitement through Trinity Coun-
ty. A crushing Of three tons produced

and shows q width Of from six to six

has the property bonded. An extension
on the Siskiyou side Of the line. which
prospects very favorably, has been
bonded by Amos Hin Of Coffee Creek.

DAIRY CATTLE.

of an expert, the dominant strains Of
blood can be readily traced.
1t is almost the universal misfortune
of the country that too little attention
is paid to breeding. Pure bred bulls
for the special purpose desired would
soon give the entire country herds OF
cattle of vastly greater value. For
instance. if the local demand called
for butter, then it would be better to
grade up with bulls of superlatively
butter excellence. If for milk, then
seek the sires of superior milk strains,
and for beef, the beef blood of pure
bred bulls of excellence in this lire.
1t must always be borne in mind
that the ultimate end of all cattle, is
beef. Therefore, large stock should
be selected, for they yield most milk
and the most beef This being a set
tied fact. it is evident that large ami
mails yield the most profitable products
Of both milk and meat. Large ami
mails always bring the largest prices
for all purposes. The great beef cat
tie of the world have sold for the
highest prices, even at auction. In
Oneida County, New York, at auction,
a two-year- old Shorthorn heifer
brought SAC, 800, and was taken back
to England, whence the Shorthorn
strain of blood was derived, and which
rivals every other strain of blood for
beef
By the continuation of two superior
excellences in the same animal we
have greatly increased values for milk
products for human consumption. Ex-
amples Of these are found in the milk
| ing strains of the Shorthorns, and in
the surprising excellences of the CO.
tentin cattle Of Normandy, France
The union of these two strains Of pure
blood animals have shown that less
milk, but more beef is thus obtained,
the Cotentin yielding more rich milk,
and more beef of equal excellence.

mine and mill plants becoming an ac-
complished fact within the next few
months, as it has been demonstrated
that the investment will prove profita-
BILE to the promoters even at the price
Of 81 per horsepower per month.
Congressman Newlands is quoted as
expressing himself favorable to the
proposition of allowing Bonner Lake,
which is owned by the Sharon estate,
being put into the enterprise, upon sat-
isfactory terms, and matters have now
reached such stage that the necessary
arrangements may soon be made. There
is unlimited capital behind the enter
prise which assures it's success.
The Hygiene Of the Bedroom.
Miss Goodrich, Superintendent of the
School of Housekeeping, ST. Botolph
street. was the lecturer recently in the
regular course of demonstration lee
lures given on Thursday morning. Her
subject was THE Hygiene of the Bed
ROOM and in connection with it she
gave long and valuable talk regarding
the matter of disinfectants and their
use.
The lecturer advocated that all bed
rooms be as simple in their furnishing
as it is possible to make them, while at
the same time making allowance for the
fact that they may be made attractive
If common-sense ideas are put into
force. There should be an absence Of
unnecessary bric-a -brac, for one thing,
as with many pieces of merely orna-
mental furnishings. there must be more
busting, which should be made as I'M
III
be inexpensive, and of wash materials,
If used at ALL Usually, when an in
crease is made in the cost Of draperies
or hangings, a departure is taken from
the class of goods best fitted for the pur-
pose Of bedrooms. The matter of tenn
perature Of the room is an important
one, to which too little heed often is
given. The consumption of air by the
average person during several hours
occupancy of any room was explained,
and the need of large room for sleep
ing purposes, with an increase Of pure
air therein, was pointed out clearly.
Different means of ventilation were de-
scribed, and how they may be adapted
to most homes was shown to be COM
paratively an easy problem.
The care of rooms in sweeping, dust
ing, and like work, it was stated, should
be along the line Of that carried out in
the care of other parts of the house.
It should be thorough and systematic
for one thing.
In speaking Of disinfectants, Miss
Goodrich based her talk on the thought
that "the price Of carelessness is too
often the sacrifice of human life" She
entered upon an exhaustive description
Of germs Of various kinds, how distin-
guished, and how they affect human
life. Their. origin, development, where
in they spread disease. and like impor-
tant matters were taken up in turn,
and much valuable information given
about them. The various processes in
disinfecting were described, and what
to use and how to use it. She explained
the difference between disinfectants,
antiseptics and deodorizers, and their
various uses and the results therefrom.
In closing, Miss Goodrich made a
strong appeal for much sunlight, plenty
of pure air, and constant effort for
cleanliness of body and home.-Boston
