Indlan Justice of the Peace.

Antoine Jackson, a full-blooded In.
dian, known Familiarity as "Kanaka
Jack" has been elected justice of the
peace for the reservation adjacent to
Tacoma. Although he can neither read
nor write, he is said to fill his office
with dignity. The first case he had &c
deal with which came under his notice
the other day was that of man arrest
ed upon the charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons. The Indian Judge
demonstrated that the alleged culpril
could not force the entire revolver in
question into any of his pockets and
therefore dismissed the case. Although
the courts reasoning was not based
on Blackstone and Kent, it was strict
ly in accordance with the evidence.

A German authority has recently an
nounced the discovery of a tree in the
forests of central India which has
most curious characteristics. The
leaves of the tree are of a highly sen
sitive nature, and so full of electricity
that whoever touches one of them re-
ceives an electric shock. 1t has a
very singular effect upon a magnetic
needle, and will influence it at a dis
lance of even 10 feet. The electrical
strength of the tree varies according
to the time of day, it being strongest
at midday and weakest at midnight.
In wet weather its powers disappear
altogether. Birds never approach the
tree, nor have insects ever been seen
upon it,

New Club House.

lishment of President E. II. X.
Green's famous 400" Tarpon
club house ON st. Joseph island,
near Rockport, San Antonio and
Aransas Pass coast country has
been more prominently brought
before the people of the United
States, Canada and Europe than
ever.
Many propositions for erecting
another club house and hotel at
Rockport have been submitted to
the Arkansas Pass railway officials,
but in Difference to the promoters
of the Tarpon club Mr.. E. j.
Martin, general freight and pas
senger agent, did not think it
proper to entertain any until
seasonable time should arrive,
when another could be built with
out interfering with the one
already put into operation by
President Green and his assoc
ciates.
Mr.. Martin has always been
eager to improve and develop the
beautiful coast country tributary
to his road and has left nothing
undone to accomplish this end.
Now that everything is ready,
the promoters of the proposed
new club and hotel house enlisted
the approval of the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass officials; not
that this company is going into
the hotel and club business, but
it is their intention to encourage
and aid, as far as practicable, the
new project.

INFLUENCE OF CLOTHES.

Wearing one'G Best when Visiting the
Poor and Sick.
Lenten frocks of purple and hell
trope for church-going mission-visit-
ing and good work generally, are being
made for the consistent and conscien-
tious woman, says the New York Com
mercial Advertiser. Simplicity and
occurrences characterize these gowns
as a rule, and the clinging, graceful
soft fabrics, such as nuns yelling,
cashmere and canvas are chosen rather
than the more aggressive and worldly
cloths or rustling materials. One good
soul whose Lenten duties take varied
forms has what she calls her hospital
dress" This she wears to readings
and recitals and lectures on Greek art
and psychological phenomena, as well
as to the wards where the children
wait her coming as eagerly as flowers
long for the sun, 81 don't believe In
the old-time philanthropist in little
gray bonnet and a black shawl" says
this Lent lily
II think poor people and Shutting
are more observing and more apprecia-
tive than people who hustle about in
the world, and l know that they love
pretty clothes and are pleased to think
one puts on her very best to go to see
them. One small girl at the post grad
uate always sizes me up with her big
blue eyes the minute l enter the ward.
Then, when l sit beside her bed to
talk to her, she smiles and strokes my
muff, plays with the charms on my
chatelaine and tells me how pretty l
look, how much nicer this bonnet ia
than the one l wore last week and
other bits of information that she has
probably been cogitating on and stor'
ing up for days. 1t makes me wary, |
assure you, and if l am not as smart
as usual l fairly quake before the
scrutiny of the blue-eyed one who
loves visitors, but, above all, smartly
dressed visitors.

not much money to spend, so they try
to give time and energy instead. One

.WAG0N ROAD TO THE HUMP
1 Difference Of Opinion Exists Is 10 the
Best Boute to BE- kdoptod.

A A.' C"lIuS, y prominent
business man Of Buffalo Hump, is
IN Grangeville to attend the trial of
james Long, charged with the
killing OF Larrabee. Mr.. Childs
SAD IN the course of a converse
ton: "We are more than salts
fled with the way things are look
ing at Buffalo Hump. l consider
that l am toa certain extent a ri.
oneer in the entire section, and
have watched its growth with con-
siderable interest. There is not a
prospect in the camp, which JUST.
fed development work by it's sur
face showing, which has not inn
proved in every way when the
work was done. For example, all
the properties ON Mineral hill,
which are too numerous to enum-
crate, and the Jumbo, Cracker
jack, Winslow and many others;
and ! predict that ere long you
will see many OF them large pro-
ducers, but the only thing which
may retnrd the progress Of the
camp is the fact that today we have
not q single road over which mer-
chandise or ore can be shipped
We can contend with snow Or 9TH
er obstacles, but we positively
must have a road. [ have heard
it asserted that it would be poss-
IDLE to build in via Adams camp.
All l wish to say is that beg to
take issue with the gentlemen for
these reasons: First, that this road
is over an open country which is
covered with fallen growth OF
timber, hence the wind blows over
it continuously SO that it will be
covered from one end to the other
with great banks Of snow. OF
course in pleasant weather and for
one Wishing to make quick "trip
this is without doubt the most adj
vantageous road, but there is a
wagon road, and . good one, al.
ready built to within IL miles Of
the Hump, via BADGER. The trail
which was built by Mr.. Sweeney
from Badger to Lake creek and re-
paired by Frank Brown & Co.,
where the logs are an cut out clean,
will, l am not afraid of being
gain-said, admit Of a horse packing
more than any trail in the vicinity.
1t will cost very little, compare
lively speaking, to keep the entire
length d road 9pen during the
winter and the only expense that I
can conceive of is for the people Of
Grangeville and the inhabitants Of
Camas prairie TO cordur0y the last
few miles of road going into Lake
creek, IT, IT has not been already
done by Brown & Co., who were
contemplating the work prior to
our departure. For example, /
! would spy that early in the spring
it vas tie Mheh-AIeoted question
as to which road should be used,
and after trying them all the firm
mentioned. who have shipped more
goods into Buffalo Hump than all
the pthefs put f9getheE,' were Al:
