DEATH OF CHIEF WASHABLE.

Chief Washable, the report of whose
death last Friday was denied on
Wednesday, died in his tepee on the
Wind river reservation, in central Wy
oming, Wednesday evening after a lin
gering illness of several months. He
was SO years old. For ffty-three years
he was at the head of his tribe. He
was ever the friend of the white man,
and rendered valuable aid to the early
settlers of the west. He was a devout
Christian, and by his example and
teachings he brought the Shoshones up
to a high standard of intelligence.
He leaves a wife and three grown
boys. Charles, Richard and George. He
has lost five children during his reign
as chief.
In 1858 Chief Washable made a treaty
with Colonel Lander allowing the
white men the privilege Of crossing the
~ShoshOnes' country and several years
later made other treaties that he has
lived up to in every particular. He has
been wounded in battle severa times
with hostile tribes, and on many occas-
ions has protected white men from
their red foes.
His has been an eventful and honor
able career, and his death will be felt
not only by the members of his tribe,
but by hundreds of his white brothers.

CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH

During the early part Of October,
1896, I contracted a bad cold which set
tied on my lungs and was neglected

peared In an incipient state. I was
constantly coughing and trying to ex-
pei something which 1 could not. 1
became alarmed and after giving the
local doctor q trial bought a bottle Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the
result was immediate improvement,
and after I had used three bottles my
lungs were restored to their healthy

THOSE OBS7INITE BOFRS.

There is great activity in South Africa, and the obstinate Boers con- tinue to decline to be overwhelmed by the British. The news from British sources is meagre and indefinite, which indicates that the British are not carry ing all before them There is a story of a Boer victory in which six hundred British were either killed or wounded, and nine hundred captured. If this feat was done with only five Boers killed and nine wounded, as the story says, it waa indeed a large one.
 The Boers seem to be more aggressive in these days than they have been at any time since the war began. They are not waiting for the British to at tack them, but they are making the first move themselves. If they don't succeed in staggering humanity with the price they make England pay for her conquest they will make humanity thoughtful.

There is a bill before the Massachu- setts legislature which is quite as auda- cious as anything of the kind that has ever appeared before the Connecticut legislature It's first section provides that breeders associations, agricultural societies and similar organizations, in- corporated in Massachusetts, may es- tablish and maintain suitable grounds for exhibitions and trials of speed or strength, may arrange for and advertise such exhibitions and trials upon said grounds, may collect admission lees from persons desirous of witnessing such exhibitions or trials, and may raise and award purses or premiums for the participants therein. But the first sec tion is only preparatory to the second section, which says: It shall not be un- lawful for any person, being in or upon the grounds of any breeders associa- tion, agricultural society or similar or ganization, incorporated in this com monwealth, to bet upon the result of a trial of speed or strength of horses or cattle, which is scheduled or announced

NOT FIT.

Yesterday it was announced that somebody in Washington ''eminently friendly" to Admiral Dewey was say ing that the Admiral was contemplat- ing letter of withdrawal, which, un- less some decided change occurred in the political outlook, would be Issued within week or ten days at the out side. Last night dispatch from Washington said that Admiral Dewey said that the report that he intended to withdraw was all mistake, and that he had never given anyone such informa- ton.
 It certainly would be early for Ad- miral Dewey to withdraw now, but If he doesn't mean to stick to his candi- dacy till the cows come home" he would save himself much disgust if he should withdraw without further cere- mony. He is said to be a very proud man, and if he is his pride must al- ready have been much hurt But what has happened in that direction is noth- ing to what will happen if he doesn't withdraw.

CONTRABAND OF W.4R.

Professor Storck, of Greifswald, a well
 known authority on international law, has just published a treatise on the pro- 1 tection of German commerce in time of l England in seizing German steamships | and blocking submarine cables. He says: War by land and by sea is es- | sentially the same, and I should like to see the land army which would not either confiscate or destroy all consign- ments of arms, war material, victuals, etc, destined for tho enemy. Now, whether such articles, which are meant to preserve or increase the enemys &C., tivity and strength of resistance, are transported under the enemy's flag or under that of neutral power is in- different to the belligerent thereby in jured in time of war. Undoubted con- traband of war must not be delivered to the enemy, and is, therefore, liable to conf1scation. As long as men are not
 
 angels and war exists undoubted con- trabarid of war will continue to be seiz- ed by the belligerent affected. On this point all men agree, except, perhaps, few tradespeople and shipowners, who thereby lose their hoped-for profits Referring to the way in which cases arc altered by circumstances, he says: NO prize-court judge, however far sighted, would have thought, a few months back, of declaring as contra band consignments of barbed wire. Hitherto no one ever imagined such thing. Now, the highly ingenious lead CTS of heroic people fighting for their liberty have shown us that such a sim pie means of defence is of extreme value; and it is, therefore, quite natural that the captain of an English cruiser should not, in the interests of his coun- try, allow such a consignment of barb- ed wire to pass without questions being asked" The professor concludes that | not only agriculturalists and townspeo- pie must submit to the inevitable con- sequences of war, but that also the l merchant, even the neutral one, must l not expect immunity amid the troubles | or a naval war. He must not expect | to earn, as tertius gaudens, the fruits | of his neutrality in hard cash"

 dress of this picture it appeared sim ply in the heavy cord that edged the odd bolero effect. That was quite enough to cover the law. and should suggest many simple methods of sup plying an up-to-date touch. The stuff the gilt cord trimmed in this gown was crimson velvet, and the velvet faced the tiny revers that turned away from white null vest. It also supplied the belt. The dress goods was sage green Venetian cloth.

It is a pair of large glasses set in silver, gold or tortoise rims. From the rims bars extend, meet ing in point little below the glasses. From this point comes the handle by which the glasses are held It Is a sort of lorgnette, only the handle does not come from the side of one glass, but from between the two. The glasses must be very big and the handle not long. Grace of gesture and spirited carrying of the head are supposed to result from the use of the bimbelot, and the eyes are said to take on brlliancy and increased size when seen though the glasses And that's a good deal for your money FLORETTE.

France is to have a new source of revenue. The Caillaux Income Tax bill proposes to tax all incomes, whether de- rived from real or personal property, commerce or industry, or from the ex- ercise of profession, or from employ ment by the State. The rate proposed is four per cent, with exemptions up to a certain figure. Thus in Paris incomes will be free from taxation up to $500. Foreigners who have been residing in < France, for less than year prior to the passing of the bill and whose incomes are derived from investments outside of France, will be exempt; but, on the oth- CT hand. all incomes derived from French investments will be taxed ire spective of the country in which the in- yestor may happen to reside. To esti- mate the general revenue of persons liable to pay the tax the amount of the rent they pay will be taken as basis, their incomes being fixed at a figure about five or six times larger than that amount.
