lizard. That Grow New ryc.

The tuatara lizard of New Zealand is
said TO be one of the most ancient forms
of animal life now existing. 1t original
ly possessed four eyes, but now has to
be contented with but two. 1t lays eggs,
and these take no less than 13 months
to hatch out, the embryos passing the
winter in state of Information.
These remarkable animals are found
only in one or two places in the colony,
and they are rapidly becoming scarce
as collectors from every part of the
world are continually on their track
They are about is inches in length. and
like many of the lizards. are said to

J. w. YELTON, DRUGGIST.
One of Colorado's Pioneers and a
Florence Citizen.

Among the pioneer business men
of the state of Colorado must be
elassed j. w. Yelton, proprietor of
the City Pharmacy. He came to
Colorado in 1878 when the stat
was yet young, and in 1881 he
launched out into the drug bust
ness for himself in Buena Vista.
From there he went to Denver
where he was in business during
80 and 81. From Denver he
went to Creede where he remained
until -. He burned out twice in
Creede and finally went TO Cripple
Creek where he was located at the
time of the fires. From the fact
that the fires had burned all
around Mr.. Yelton's store and left
his standing he was given a mo-
nopoly of the drug business, per
hitting him to regain the money
he lost in the Creede fires.
In February, 1897, Mr.. Yelton
located in Florcnce, where he has
successfully conducted a general
drug and prescription business.
In this he is very ably assisted
by j ID. Stewart, who is a licensed
pharmacist, splendid clerk and Il
thorough gentleman.
Mr.. Yelton was born in Ken
lucky. spent his childhood in Hi
nois, his youth III Missouri and fl
nally came to the mountains of
Colorado.
He is able to tell many interesting
incidents in the states history, and
is the sort of man that is ever help
ing TO make history. While not a
politician, he is man of affairs,
and is always active in any cause
that makes for commercial and
moral advancement.

ALARM is GENUINE.

The Vienna correspondent of
the London Times sou dis n note
of alarm in regard to the growth
of American trade in Turkey aud
adjoining regions of the Levant.
There is every reason forupprehen-
sion in the commercial mind of
Great Britain, The export trade
OF this country is assuming enor-
nous proportions, and MS it grows
the volume of England's trade is
reduced. In 1868 the United
States exported goods valued Mt
S269 ,3S9, 200 and Great Britain
SS9S, ,339, ,060 In lS9S the export
trade of the United States was ST.
233 ,56l ,S2S, and of Great Britain
81, l3l,9ii,33l. In thirty years
the United States h ID increased
its export trade 35S per cent. and
England 26 per cent, In twenty
years our direct trade with, En-
gland has increased 81 per cent,
while the gain of general exports
in 1898 was 63 per cent. At the
rate of exports thus far in 1899 the
present year promises to beat all
previous records. Denver News.

\ FEW weeks ago the city of
Birmingham, England, rented
some land on a 800 years lease.
There was some kicking among the
taxpayers who figured up that by
the time the lease expired the city
would have paid twenty million
dollars in rent, and still would not
own the land. Thereupon a phil
anthropist contributed to the
city a el0 bank note, or $50, and
solved the problem. He simply
asked that this money should be
put out at p per cent interest for
the whole time, and compounded
annually, assuring the city officials
that by that means, when the lease
expired they would have some
three hundred thousand million
dollars to their credit. All of
which goes TO show that land mono
poly is not patching to the mono
poly of money.

THE eastern magazines have
taken up fad lately. They are
describing the people of the west.
They have not climbed to the crest
of the Rocky Mountains yet, but
they find in the old west, in such
states as Iowa and Minnesota,
some very strong and bright people.
1t is good of them to begin an in
vestigation at this late date, because
really those states belong to the
United States and some farther
west are also in the Union, 1t is
hopeful sign. The chances are
that in the next one hundred years
our eastern friends will lerrn the
real geography of our own country
and discover that in nearly all the
elements which 90 to make up

the establishment of an honest

determining their votes on such
matters. Perhaps it is not un-
natural that man in office should
So employ his influence and votes

matter is that there is serious
doubt as to the beneficial effects

would be no doubt on the subject.

But our observation has been, in

quires great effort to induce the

out and vote, while the class with
whom principle is secondary

house and badly smoking everything.
The loss from fire was not so great as
that from smoke and the little water
that had TO be used. 1t is thought $20n

The director Of posts at Manila

numbers of letters addressed to sol
dlers and sailors at that office are un-
deliverable through the failure OF the
sender to place on the envelope, the
name Of the company and regiment
or other organization to which the ad-
dressce belongs.
PostmasterS are directed to inform
their patrons Of this fact. either per
sonally. through the press or in any
other feasible way, that all mail mat
ter addressed 10 persons connected
with the United States service in the
Philippine islands must. to insure de-
livery, not only bear the name of the
addressce. but the full designation Of
the particular branch Of the service to
which he belongs, viz; if a soldier, II
must bear the name Of his company
and regiment; if to a sailor. the name
of his vessel. and if in any other
branch Of the public service. the desig-
nation Of that branch"
As many letters 20 through the Au-
gusta postofIice for Manila ana for

The French Way of Conducting a
Trial.

The daily incidents in the court
room at Rennes last month were
interesting enough, to be sure; but
they were, comparatively speaking.
OF transient importance. France is
a civilized nation with noble codes
of law and highly trained body Of
lawyers. French trials are, now
ever, conducted in&uch a way that
many aspects of them seem worse
than ridiculous to those accustomed
to the methods Of the United States
and England. Thus the witnesses
at the Dreyfus trial were in the
main given freedom to tell what
they knew III their own way, and
were allowed to assert their opinions,
beliefs, prejudices, dislikes, and
emotional points of view as if these
were really matters Of evidence.
Under our rulings such digressions
would he severely repressed as
irrelevant. And vet it does not
follow that our method is so super
ior to the French in all respects.
Our rules of evidence are so techni-
cal that it often happens that the
ends ofsubstantial justice are wholly
defeated because really significant
thing, which a witness would be
glad to state and which would clear
up the case, is ruled out. In all
American trial the lawyers seem to
be playing certain kind of game,
with the judge as umpire, under
elaborate and extremely technical
rules which nobody can hope alto
gether to understand except the
professionals. The witness must
under no circumstances tell in his
own way what he really knows,
thinks. or feels about the case, but
must answer the lawyers questions
in a way which do not violate the
technical rules of evidence. In
France, however, it is the judge
not the opposing council, who con-
ducts the trial, and what the Judge
wants of each witness is the revela-
tion of whatever may be in that
witness mind respecting the sub
ject under investigation. 1t then
becomes the subsequent business of
the magistrate to get at such grains
of legal evidence as may be found
in the chaff of the witness rambling
discourse. 1t would be a rather
bold proposition to assert that under
our American method substantial
Justice is rendered in a large per-
centage of cases than under the
French method. In the Dreyfus
case liberty allowed to witnesses on
the one side was allowed in about
