MIeE -HA.;E A STANDING IN LAW
They Figured in Recent Contest Over
 Land Ownershipl


 From the Spokane Review: The lane-oontest case in which "a family of mlce played prominent part has been decided on the appeal to Binger Hermann, commissioner of the gen. eral land office at Washington The rodents are not mentioned in the decf- sion, but the man whom it was claimed allowed the mice to establish resi- dence in his bed is allowed to retain possession of his homestead, the rul- Ing of the local land office being re- versed and the contest dismissed. peculiar feature of the case is that lTien the family Of mice was first men Ioned it was tended that their presence in the bed of the entIyman argued an abandonment of the home stead and thu local land office appar- ently took the same View of the mat ter. But when the decision was ap pealed from it was set up that the presence of the mice was an argument Sn favor of the homesteader. Fred Grutt was the entrymau, having taken lp homestead near Davenport three years ago. Last August John O'Neil Instituted a contest to the homestead entry, alleging that Grutt had aban- doned the claim, did not keep up continuous residence thereon, and that the only inhabitants of the shahty on the ranch were a family of mice After hearing the case the registrar and receiver decided that Grutt's en- try should be eanceled. From this de- cision Grutt had sixty days in which to file an appeal to the commissioner at Washington. The appeal was filed by Leo Walton, attorney for Grutt. In the appeal the mice family was re- ferred to as follows: 'sIf there were any mice in this entryman's bed dur ing the early part of September. 1898, it plainly shows that the entryman did have bed on the land at the time.'

FORTUNES IN HARD WOODS.
Big Advance in Then Values Durlup
 the Past Tear

Big Advance in Then Values During
 the Past Year.
 The hardwood business has increased 10 such mammoth proportions in the last decade that Chicago is unquestion- ably the largest consuming market in the world. The receipts so far this year indicate that by January there will have been placed in the forty diff ferent yards fully 100000 600 feet valued at upward of $50 ,060 ,000. The largest consumers of this vast amount of hardwood are the BIO furniture fac tories. the many piano and organ makers. the agricultural machine man ufacturers. the palace ear works and the building interests. An inventory completed week ago showed 30. .000. 900 feet in stock at the Pullman wards. European demand for black walnut takes nearly all of the limited supply of that wood, leaving only enough to meet the piano and organ require ments. Indiana and Ohio. the best forest states in the country, wasted more of this valuable wood in rail fences and in fires than the value of the remainder of their trees, and those states are now being secured for the rails, which can be made into table legs and similar pieces, One tree near Goshen, Ind, recently sold for s5,OOa, and eighty trees brought $20.o00. F6ur trees shipped to Europe sold for s10.- 0Q0. The Indiana sycamore is valuable. finishing in bright red with bird's-eye dot. It is used mostly for small fancy boxes. White walnut is used mostly for carvings for churches and finishing for expensive residences. Butternut and chestnut form most of the collins Chicago Chronicle.

kEYLESS LOCn.
Is the Latest Innova ation Proposed for
 Postoface Boxes.

Washington Times: There is more than S400 900 of the peoples money locked up iii postoffice keys, each and every keyholder being required to put up with the postmaster a deposit for his key. the amount depe sited being re- turned when the box is given up and rent paid. Postmasters are required to keep a strict account of the key de- pesit fund, while the postofIiee depart ment here has q regular division set apart for keeping this account. As a postal official puts it, there is great deal Of trouble and 10 money in the transactions. and the final outcome of the trial of the keyless locks which are to be tried in the principal offices of the country is eagerly looked for. The department has long wanted a key less lock. but none of the lock inven- tions until the present was regarded as in any way calculated to prove ac- eeDtabie. Contracts have been made for a supply of the new locks, which will first be tried in New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and St. Louis, as the largest and most impor- tant ofIices.and then ip St. Paul, Minn.; Cleveland, Ohio; Hartford, Conn.,; Madison, Wis. and Rockford, IL These offices will be fitted out as soon as the factory can complete the mak- ing of the boxes. If they prove in every way satisfactory to the department and .o the patrons they will be placed in offices throughout the country. but not to the entire exclusion of the lock boxes. It is the belief of the postoffice department that the keyless box will prove a blessing.

TO STOP BLEEDING
Electricity Now Declared to Be ths
 Best Relief.


 The arpesting of bleeding in surgical operations has always been one of the difficulties in certain cases, and the electric current has been used before this with view to bringing aboEt that condition of heat which is necessary in order to cause the blood to clot and so act as block to the mouth of bleeding vessels, arresting hemorrhage. This. indeed, has resulted in the utilization of the electric cautery as it is called in certain operations, the platinum wire at a red or almost white heat even SUD- planting the knife, because 1t burns through the tissues and aat the same time prevents the wound bleeding to any great extent. This effect of heat was, indeed, known to our ancestors, who used red hot irons or boiling pitch, to scar the surface of the flesh after their operations, thus causing an im- mense amount of suffering to the pa. tient, before the days of chloroform. A new adaptation of this use of elee- tricity, for the purpose of stopping bleeding has been devised by inclosing a platinum wire in 3 pair of foreeps Of other instrument, the wire being insu- lated in a bed of burnt pipe clay. and as soon as the bleeding vessel is seiz- ed by the foreeps and compressed iii the ordinary way, an electric current is turned on, whose effect is 50 great that the tissues and the walls of the blood vessels are all agglutinated, So that the blood is no longer able to

is ADou6 to Take a Plunge.
 A handsome young lady from Pitts burg, who is stopping at a hotel on Virginia avenue, Atlantic City, had an experience early the other morning that she is not anxious to repeat. While Tn somnamh hulistic state. bare footed and clad only in her nightrobe. she wandered down to the beach and would probably have walked into the ocean had she not been stopped by special Policeman Marmaduke Albert son. There were very few witnesses oI Ihe feat, and she is so thankful for ats happy termination that she has promised Albertson a substantial re- ward. The young lady's name is Miss Belle English. Officer Albertson de~ scribes her as being rather tall. decid- euiy pretty, with dark hair and lus- lrous dark eyes. The affair occurred just before 3 o'clock in the morning Mike Campi, who keeps a fruit stand at the merry -go-round, was standing outside of his place of business when ne was startled by the appearance of what ne at first thought was a specter gliding swiftly over the strand toward tne ocean. He called Policeman AL bertson, who started in pursuit of the White-robed figure. When Albertsen came close to the figure he spoke, but received no reply. He then reached out his hand, determined to know the worst, but instead of elasping empty air, as he feared he might, he found his captive to be living, moving flesh and blood. A few vigorous shakes awakened the young lady, who gave a sharp cry of surprise when she found herself in the grasp of strange man. Then she realized what had happened and became almost hysterical in her modification. She was treasured, however, when she found that her cap tor was an officer Albertson called a carriage and placed the trembling girl in it, taking the precaution to throw blanket around her to protect her from the chilly night air At her request he accompanied her to the hotel at which she was stopping. The guests had all retired, and with quick good night to the policeman the young lady disappeared, entering the house through an open window. IT.

inhabitants Of Loud's Island on the
 Maine Coast Pay None.
 Loud's island, on the coast of Maine, near historic Pemequid, in the Lincoln county town of Bristol, is one of the very few places on earth where there are no taxes. This island, otherwise known as Muscongus, was overlooked when Maine became state, and was put into no town or county. It is said that during the war the people cast their votes for time in the town of Bristol until some election officer dis covered the illegality of the vote. The island was first settled by John Loud, deserter from a British man-of- war, and his great grandchildren are now prominent inhabitants. By voluntary contributions school is maintained, the parents paying S4 for each child The school term averages eight months in each year, and there is an average attendance of eighteen scholars. Catch ing bait for the fishermen of Boston, Gloucester agd Posi is the most profitable business of the people, out WnSu UdlI iS Stdth III IuullllS l1cg turn their attention to lobstering, maekerel fishing and catching porgies for the big oil and fertilizing factory opposite the island in Bristol. After successful haul of bait a large white flag is hoisted on the high ground in the center of the island With glass 1t may be discovered far out at sea, whence come the Grand Bankers and others like huzzards attracted by the casualties of battle. The people have comfortable homes. and are prosper ous and contented. Like the fisher men of -1ee4 isle, they are famous for their skill as sailers.- Portland Press

CIGARETTES TABOOED.
Weather Service viii no Longer Toll
crate Them.

Washington, D. c., March pa
death blow has been given cigarette
smoking in the weather service, when
Chief Willis L. Moore issued an order
prohibiting persons connected with the
service from smoking cigarettes during
office hours, and stating further, that
those who smoked cigarettes at any
time would be mentioned in the con-
fidential reports which are made quar-
terly to him by chiefs of the several
offices and divisions throughout the
entire service. The order is plainly
worded and the chief evidently means
that it shall be obeyed. Chief Moore
says about it:
The order was issued after careful
consideration and a thorough invesu-
cation of the evils resulting from cigar
cite smoking. It will stand. In this
service we are compelled to maintain
very strict discipline in order to Sc
cure satisfactory service. Some of the
men who are regarded as the most
thorough and competent, doing every
detail of their work with the utmost
promptness and accuracy, gradually
became careless and lax. l sent in
spectors to investigate and in number
Of cases it was found directly attribut-
able to the use of cigarettes. [ am not
prudish, nor do [ assume any author
ity whatever over any privilege which
the employees of the service should
have, but as a public servant | feel 1T
is my duty to correct any evil which
may exist if in attempting to make this
claim that l am overstepping my au-
thority. l can state most emphatically
that the order will stand and that it
applies to the entire force OF the bureau
throughout the entire service. Cigar
cite smoking must cease. Cigars and
pipes are not barred.

A FAMOUS DISASTER.
Recalled in a Decision Written by
Judge Bum.

The la B0urgogne disaster in which
hundreds OF lives were lost at sea was
recalled in the United States supreme
recalled in the United States circuit
court OF appeals in Chicago when
Judges Woods. Bum aud Allen handed
down an opinion dismissing for want OF
equity the suit of Charles L. Rundell
against La Compagnie Generate Trans
owners of the Inflated
steamship. This decision affirms the
ruling given in the lower court some
months ago by Judge Kohlsaat As
this case was taken up as test for six
other suits of the same nature all will
be dismissed. The plaintiffs in each
case asked $4,000 damages against the
owners of the boat
Edwin f. Rundell. of whose estate
Charles L. Rundell is administrator,
was one of the passengers on the
French boat and lost his life. As the
wreck occurred beyond the territorial
jurisdiction of any land the damages
were sought under the law of the
flag" the French vessel in such causes
being regarded as French soil. Judge
Bum, who wrote the opinion. dis
missed the case on two principal
grounds; first, that it was not shown
that the death of Rundell took place
upon the steamship La Bourgogne, the
contention being merely that be lost
his life by drowning as result Of a
collision and consequent sinking of the
vessel; second, that in cases arising up
on the high seas the United States dis
trict court sitting in admiralty cannot
enforce the local law of France, but
that such cases must be adjudged and
governed by the general maritime law
as understood and administered by the
United States courts.

SENATE UNSETTLED
BUT WILL TRY TO REACH AGREE
MENT TOMORROW.
ON PORTO RICO BILL
Republicans Senators Would Separate
Tariff Features From Government
Bill-Caucus Tomorrow Will De-
eide Policy-Tariff Men Say House
Bill VIII Carry Unamended.

Washington, March 25.-Repubican
senators will make another effort in
the caucus tomorrow to reach an agree
ment upon the line of policy to DE pur-
sued with reference to Porto Rican leg
islation. Previous to the caucus, SEN
atOr Foraker, who is in charge of the
legislation, expects to secure the ap-
prevail of the senate committee, for the
separation of the tariff feature from the
governmental bill with a view of haV-
ing the senate pass upon the tariff
question disconnected from all other
features of the subject. The house bill
is tariff measure simply, and with
the separation effected, the next
effort will be to secure legislation up
on the basis of the house bill. The
caucus is expected to deal only with
the house bill, and the particular ques-
ton which the caucus will have to de-
eide is whether the house bill shall be
accepted as it came from the house or
be amended. Extreme tariff men
Claim they have votes sufficient to
carry the house bill unamended. Free
traders, on the other hand, claim four
teeen republican votes, which will be
sufficient to defeat the bill.
