1rR. CLARK'S TRICK,

MT. Clark of Montana is certainly slick and his plan to be q senator Is in- genious. But his trick may not work, and if 1t doesn't he will be worse off than he was before. It is contended by those who want to have it work that the appointment of Clark by the lieu tenant-governor of Montana is valid in all respects, as there is no doubt of the authority of the acting governor of Montana to fill a vacancy in the United States Senate in the absence of the gov- ernor from the State. The question hinges on whether or not a vacancy ex- isted which could be filled legally by the executive power. Some of the most influential senators say that this point is yet to be decided. Should the Sem ate hold that Clark was illegally elected it will be contended that he did not have the privilege of resigning, and that therefore the appointment is not valid, according to numerous prece- dents.
 If Clark does happen to get into the Senate his entrance will not be very abundant. But he probably wont mind that

thickly populated regions, where houses are close together, any particular uneas' mess about the danger of lightning. In places where the population is entirely concentrated and the buildings are close together, the fatal results of lightning are practically nil. It is in the country districts, where trees are abundant and houses frequently surrounded by them, that fatal accidents more frequently oc- cur Furthermore, the city man, as a general thing, has no lightning-rod. The country man almost invariably has.
 As there is little danger or death from lightning, and as little or nothing can be done to avoid what danscc there is, it is clear that it is wise not to warry about being struck" still the next thunder storm will find many who have decided to be wise in this matter unable to aprl ly their wisdom

ARMoR FOR FUTURE SOLDIERS

1 ARMOR FOR FUTURE SOLDIERS. Mark my words" said an observant gentleman, who takes an interest in
 military matters, "the soldier of the fu- ture will wear armor We are about to revert to first principles and will again illustrate the well-known fact that fash ions move in cycles.
 No; l am not joking. The conditions
 of modern warfare make armor emi-
 nently practical A small caliber high
 power rifle will carry two miles, and it
 is next to impossible for troops to ad-
 vance through the zone of fire, if it is continuous and well directed. But sup pose there was some method by which they could approach within say half that distance of the enemy and keep up a steady fusillade without special dan ger to themselves-it goes without say ing that they would win the day, and there is exactly where armor comes in. Several of the European governments are now experimenting with movable shields, which may be pushed in front of soldiers as they advance. There is nothing particularly new in that idea it was used in the siege of Troy. From shields to protective garment is merely a development of the same thought.
 My notion of the coming armor is a chest plate leg greaves and mask made of Krupp steel a quarter of an inch thick. That would turn rifle bull let at mile range and be sufficiently light for any strong man to carry It wouldn't be necessary to shield the

7nE DEFENDERS OF mAFEKrNG

l THE EFENDERS OF MA FEKING. Yesterday there was more or less
 yellow story that Mafeking had at
 last been compelled to surrender to the
 Boers. This story has not yet been con-
 firmed, and everybody who has proper appreciation of pluck will hope that it
 will not be. They will further hopa
 that speedy relief will come to the brave
 men and women who have so long held
 out there against war, sickness and
 hunger. The defence of Mafeking has
 been a most sturdy and gallant one
 and the record of it will add to the cause of pride in their race which the English have. Even if the Boers could take Mafeking now 1t wouldn't do them any good, and though there would be no disgrace in the surrender of the sorely- tried garrison it is to be hoped that those of them who have escaped death from bullets or disease will soon have the glorious satisfaction of knowing that they have not lived in vain. What ever opinion one may have about the war there can be but one opinion con- corning the defenders of Mafeking. They are game to and through the back bone. Good luck to them and some- | thing better to eat soon than horse sausage, minced mule meat and curried locusts.

ITGHTNYNG.

The season Of thunderstorms is at
 hand, and it is cheering to be told by
 the Electrical Review, which ought to
 know, that the chance of death by
 lightning is so small as to be utterly
 negligible It is not so cheering to be
 told that the investments that have
 been made in lightning rods are not likely to be profitable It is, says the Review, just as well for people who live in the suburbs or the country to know that the average lightning-rod has about as much influence on the dispo- sition of lightning to strike their pren- ises as the color of the paint on thcir houses. It can be said with some cer- tainty that the average lightning rod is of no use whatever, and it can be pre- dicted with certainty that ample pro- lection would be given barn, for ex- ample, by enclosing it in thick copper shell. It is conceivable that a lightning rod constructed upon the most scientific principles would be of little avail if 1t came into the path of certain varieties of lightning discharge. It is again per fectly possible that lightning may take the ordinary lightning-rod as path and go quietly to the earth over it without doing damage. There should not be, in

 The pulley belt is comfortable. IL sets down better than any other belt, and now that the pulley part is made of a pair of straps that buckle together, and the unsightly rumpled string of rib bon is obviated in front, the belt is like ly to stay. Soft leather corded heavily at the back and in color exactly match ing the skirt is popular, but unless skirt and bodice match in color don't wear a belt to match the skirt, no matter what the fashion is.

F1iSHION NOTES.
Shoes and Gloves Are Big,

Most wash dresses of the elaborate kind are made over slips of taffeta or lawn. The slips are often elaborate, showing two or three colors. These colors combining in different harmonies with the over robes, and the economy of single foundation and several slips, need not be apparent. In other than wash dresses, too, there is a deal of placing a demure or inconspicuously colored transparency over a gay inner fabric. This picture presents a stylish example in gown of pale gray silk with foundation of orange pastel silk. The latter showed above

RKSSI1tS RIG REEO RlI

The Czar of all the Russias is getting
 big credit mark for the action of his
 council in adopting the bill for the
 abolition of that dreaded punishment,
 exile to Siberia. From now on there
 will be no deportation of persons who
 have been denied a judicial trial, and
 central prisons will be erected as rapid
 ly as possible for the housing of crim- inals, so that there may be no need to drive them in wretched bands to a fate
 worse than hanging. Especially sig niticant and important is the guaranty of a trial to everS accused person. There has been some dim recognition of this human right in Russian law be- fore, but it has not been of much prac-
 tical value. The exiles have numbered more than 10000 annually, and in 1893 no less than 49 per cent. of them failed of hearing in court and were sent out on an order of the administration. While such methods were in vogue justice and the security of the indi- vidual were of course impossible. Any man who fell under the displeasure of the authorities for any cause might be seized and consigned to a living death, with never a chance to defend himself. He disappeared as completely and as as if he had been swal- lowed up by the earth.
 The government has been working toward the great reform which is now announced since 1895. when there was a transfer of the prison administration from the ministry of the interior to the of justice. The latter bureau was then ordered to revise the criminal laws for the purpose of doing away with the abuses which have given Russia a bad name.

Oklahoma wants Statehood for the following reasons: The Territory cov- CTS 3S,715 square miles and exceeds in total area the States of Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Is- land, New Jersey and Delaware. It has 700 miles of railroad and 450 miles under construction. Last year Okla homa produced more than 2o,O0O,O0U bushels of wheat and more than 150,0O0 bales of cotton. The corn, oats and fruit crop, together with the cattle and hogs raised, were of far greater value than the combined wheat and cotton crop.

A fair imitation of silver half dol lar, although suspiciously light in weight, has been taken up in large quantities in Philadelphia, Baltimore and other eastern cities lately, and as they were all from one mold the secret service men were put on the case. Af- ter some investigation the place of manufacture was located in the woods about half mile from Havre de Grace, Maryland, where Robert de Renick had a complete counterfeiting kit in a ne- gro's log cabin. He was arrested and taken to Baltimore where he was plac- ed in custody of the local authorities. It seems that De Renick had a regular business of furnishing customers with counterfeit coin, selling it at the rate of forty cents on dollar. He made no at tempt to pass it himself, but disposed of it in large quantities to confederates. It is known that he has been carrying on these operations for the past four years,s but no estimate has been made of the amount of money he has put into circulation.

The Japanese laborers who are thronging to this country are not stop ping on the Pacific coast in large num- bers, and we are not interested except from the fact that we went up against the Chinese question and consequently are prepared to synpathize with the whole country, said a San Francisco man the other day. "The only thing surprising about this influx of Japanese laborers is that it did not take place sooner I see it said that there have recently arrived some 25,0O0 and that there are more than that many on their way here. I presume it is true and sus- pect that the figures are too small. They will cause us more bother than the Chinese, for we will have more dff1- culty in stopping them.
