THE GUYER-sLACK CONTEST CASE.

The GUYER-SLACK CONTEST CASE.
Anent the election contest of John r.
Guyer VS.. j. G. Slack, of Union county,
which was decided by seating MI. Guyer
In the house, some rumors are afloat
which tend to reflect on the committee
of privileges and elections and are dero-
gatory to Mr.. Guyer personally. The
report has been a%ssiduously circulated
that the committee, In arriving at its
recommendation, acted without any tes-
timony and that the Democratic con-
testee had no show; further, that the
hearing in Clayton, at which testimony
was to have been taken. was adjourned
from December IL, 1898, to January II,
1899, without any testimony having been
taken. The truth OF the matter, as pre-
sented by MI. Guyer to the New Mexican
representative, is as follows:
"Dr. Slack was personally served with
a notice of contest by the sheriff of Union
county the 9th day of December. The
notice provided that the taking of tes-
timony would begin on the 18th day of
December. The statute requires that
five days notice be given. 1t also pro-
vides that In case the contestee desires
to make any reply or file a counter o n
test, he shall do so within eight days
after serving notice on him. On Deem
Der IL everything was ready to begin
taking testimony, but DR.. Slack, not
having answered and his limit not hav-
ing expired, | requested the notary who
was taking the testimony, to adjourn
the hearing until December II, which
was done in order to give the contestee
ample time in which to take any action
that he might desire in the premises.
On the 18th he had not yet made any
answer. and l, desiring to extend cour-
teous treatment to him, and being under |
the impression that he was that day and
had been for several days previous very |
busily engaged with patients, again re-
quested the notary to adjourn the hear
ing until the 22d, at which time l pro-
ceeded to take my testimony. DIR. Slack
was not at any time present during this
hearing, and, in fact, he treated the
matter with apparent indifference and
December 81, | concluded my
testimony, and the notary registered It
to the speaker of the house, with the
proper certificate, as provided by law.
"Dr. Slack with his counsel appeared
before the committee on privileges and
elections after having had 40 days in
which to present his testimony. Our
provides that, in cases of election
contests, an answer must be filed within
Q prescribed time, and in cases not so
filed, that all the allegations set up In
notice Of contests shall be taken and
as true; and that the com

1t was an impromptu little gather

been seated long together the CONVEX
sation turned to the subject Of expan-
sion, says the Detroit Free Press.
Women do not vote, but they discuss
politics just the same. The general

young men have to be sacrificed just

siastic expansionist in the group.
There was a note of GOODNESS in the
thought that chilled the little group.
The woman's eyes flashed, and her
head bent haughtily back as though
braced up by the pride OF exceptional
patriotism. But her eyes soon low

over her face. No one said word,

Money In Abyssinia.

The few travellers who have taken
the time and trouble to look into Mem
elek's queer kingdom of Abyssinia tell
strange tales of 1t. Besides the Maria
Theresa, 1880 dollars, the people Of
Abyssinia, for small change, use bar
of hard, crystalized salt, about ten
inches long and two inches and q half
broad and thick, slightly tapering to-
ward the end, five of which go to the
dollar at the capital. People are very
particular about the standard hnenesa
Of the currency. If it does not ring
like metal, or II it is at all Clipped.
nothing will induce them to take 1t.
Then. 1t is token of affection among
the natives, when friends meet, to give
each other lick of their respective
amolis, and in this way the material
value OF the bar Is also decreased. For
still smaller change cartridges are
used, of which three go to one salt.
1t does not matter what sort they are.
Some sharpers use their cartridges In
the ordinary way, and then put in
some dust and dummy bullet to make
up the difference, or else they take out
the powder and put the bullet in again
so that possibly in the next action the
unhappy seller will find that he has
only miss-fires in his belt but this is
such common fraud that no one takes
any notice of 1t, and bad cartridge
seems to serve as readily as a good

A well-known member of the Detroit
bar tells the Free Press this story:
Some years ago / attended session
of the circuit court up in the state. A
pro confesso divorce case was called,
and 1t SO happened that the Judge was
very much opposed to divorces, espe-
cially those which were unopposed.
After the attorney for the complain
ana in this case announced himself
as ready to proceed, the judge asked
If anyone appeared for the defendant.
There was silence for a moment, and
the judge repeated the question. At
one end of the lawyers table sat an at
torney who had acquired the liquor
habit and who was, at the time, con-
siderably under the influence of stimu-
lants. He was noticed struggling to
get on his feet, and, on observing him,
the judge seized the opportunity and
asked DO you appear for the defend
ant Mr.. Blank?' No, your honor, 1
merely rose to remark as friend of
the court" that with Brother Double
blank as attorney for the complainant
and no one on the other side, 1t was
about an even thing Then Blank re-
sumed his seat, while the whole court
roared with laughter"

An International Bird Question.

In addition to the destruction
wrought by pugnacious sparrows at
home. English swallows and martins
suffer severely during their migrations
from bird-hunters in Italy and France.
Millions are thus slaughtered every
year, and the Society for the Protection
Of Birds has been asked to protest to
the governments Of France and Italy
on the ground that the killing of the
English birds while crossing their ter
ritories is leading to a serious increase
Of insect pests In England. England

Electricity for stinrs.

According to DR.. Friedlander of
Wiesbaden, electricity is an antidote
against stings of insects. His plan in
such cases Is to apply constant cur
rent and to place a negative cathode
on the spot stung by the insect. GAL
vaniEation produces q rather strong
sensation Of burning, but at the same
time the pain from the sting disap-
pears, and II the electricity is applied
very soon after the wound has been
inflicted there is little or no swelling.
The current, however; does excellent
service even II 1t be not applied until
some time has elapsed, for 1t removes
the pain and also quickly reduces the
swelling. The supposition is that the
poison which the insect has injected
through the skin Is neutralized and
rendered innocuous by the current. DR..
Friedlander has repeatedly made ex-
periments of this kind on persons who
have been stung by bees and wasps.
and has invariably found them success
full. He naturally believes that a SIM
liar result would be obtained in tho
cases of persons stung by other in
sects.
