Washington, Spec. Baltimore Sun:
AinsWorth b. Spofford, assistant librar-
ian of congress, submitted to the Column
bia Historical society a report from a
special committee appointed to deter
mine the exact day on which the seat
of government was established in Wash
ington. In preparing their statement
of the transfer the members of the con-
mittee made a careful and systematic
examination of all the documentary evil
dence on the subject which they could
find in Washington.
After noting the migrations of con-
gress from place to Observation-Disclosures,
Baltimore, Lancaster, Annapolis and
other cities-the report reads in part as
follows:
The first congress under the constitu-
ton had few more difficult problems to
settle than that of a permanent capital
for what Washington termed, in his first
address to congress. an Infant nation"
modations. free of rent. But the claims
Of other places and various offers of
states poured in. Maryland and Vir-
ginia each offered ten miles square in
any part of their territory Which congress
might choose. Protracted and some
times acrimonious debates ensued. The
chief controversy was over the conflict
! ing claims of sites on the Delaware, the
Potomac and the Susuuehanna.
The eastern states were solid for the
| more northely site, while the south was
nearly equally solid for the Potomac.
| Once both houses Of congress had actu-
ally voted to locate the capital at Ger

phia, but it was leconsidered. Whining

voted upon, and all rejected. The Po-

men had committed. Another member OF
Plumnler's gang overheard lin. Plum
mer was out of town at the time, but
he members of his gan who were in
Virginia City that night were hastily
called together and told of Galligher's in
discretion. Something had to be done
at once. They could not afford to kill
Gallagher. He was too valuable a man to
them. One of the men went to the girl,
and she was indiscreet enough to tell
him that she had repeated G%alligher's
story to her lover. She realized at once
hat she had made a serious mistake.
The bandit went back to his fellows and
informed them of the condition of af-
fairs. Their secret would be all over
town unless acted upon promptly. They
were not afraid of the woman talking.
She was already too badly frightened.
But they feared the man, and decided
that the easiest way to dispose of the
matter was to kill him.
In the meantime the girl, who knew the
desperate character of Gallagher and his
friends, communicated her fears to her
lover. and they decided that he Should
go in hiding. Accordingly he cached
himself in the shaft Of the pot hole, OH
which no work was being done at that
time. This was on Christmas day and he
intended to try to leave the camp hat
night.
The bandits searched the camp thor
oughly for him that day and could not
find him. Finally they decided to watch
the girl. That night she stole out of her
cabin with some food, going straight TO
the shaft of the pot hole. The bandits
followed her and found their victim, MUIR
dered him and threw his body into the
shaft. Gallagher would not permit the
girl to be killed, and took her out of the
country. After his execution by the Vigil
lantes, which occurred a short time later.
she told the story of how her lover met
his death.
After that cold-blooded murder the pot
hole never paid. When work was re-
stunned in the spring what was left of the
remains of the unfortunate man was
found in the bottom of the shaft. A
short time afterward the drifts caved in
and when this was cleared away it was
found that the bed rock water had in
creased in volume to such an extent that
the pumps could not handle it. Attempts
to drain the pot hole proved futile. In
later years steam pumps could not ac-
complish an ordinary hand pump
had done before. The gold hat remains
in the pot hole is sufficient to make sew
eral men rich, and why it cannot be taken
out is a mystery that remains TO be eX-
planned.

Bullets of Paper

There used to be saying in the old
Ell dueling days of a generation past
that every bullet has its billet. Now.
if we may believe statement in Der
MilitararZt, the time has arrived when
billet. even a billet-douX, may be
converted into Il bullet The journal
states that Il French army surgeon has
invented a bullet made Of compressed
paper, covered by thin sheet of high
ly polished aluminium. The new bullet,
it is claimed, is less expensive than
those in use; it makes equally as good
targets at any range, and the wound
made by it is, surgically, clean, heal
ing with far greater ease than wounds
made by any of the missiles now in
use. Thus, while the number of wound
ed may be no less, the labor of sur
geons will be lightened by the absence
of septic nditions.-Invention.

American Women Walkers.

1t was claimed a few years ago that
American woman are surely getting to
have big feet, and now attention is
again called to the fact by some one
who has made a close study of the
matter, and who finds reason for con-
graduation In the fact. 1t is said that
the American womans foot has grown
perceptibly within very few years.
The woman who wears No. 3 shoe
is considered to have small foot,
while the average woman wears No.
5, but in the last generation women
who Wore twos and even ones were
not uncommon.
But women walk more than they
used to, and are a great deal more
comfortable and healthy as result.
The Investigator will not admit that
women are less vain but that their
vanity is more generally distributed
about their frames. And in this day
of large, tall, tinely-formed women the
smallest foot is not necessarily the
most beautiful.

Thousands Have Kidney Trouble
and Don't Know 1t.

There is disease prevailing In THE
country most dangerous because so
deceptive. Many sudden deaths are
caused by it,-heart disease, pneu-
monia, heart failure or apoplexy are
often the result of kidney disease. If
kidney trouble is allowed to advance
the kidney poison in the blood is
liable to attack the vital organs, or
the kidneys themselves break down
and waste away cell by cell. Then
the richness of the blood-the alnu-
men-leaks out and the sufferer has
Bright's Disease, the worst form of
kidney trouble. Kidney trouble can
be detected although it be slow and
deceptive. First. by analysis of the
urine; second, by the simple test of
setting the urine aside in e glass or
bottle for twenty-four hours, when q
cloudy or brick dust settling indicates
it.
