Seattle's tenderloin district, under
the fostering care of Tom Humesism,
has finally become one Of the most
dangerous slum resorts in the United
States. Murder, suicide, arson and

down there as dirt. The most hor-

this inflammation also is caused by
dirt. This does not sound pretty. you

be taken with the diet. feeding it with

MONGOOSE NOT WANTED.
Congress Passed a Law Excluding tn,
Little Animal.

Congress Passed a Law Excluding the
Little Animal.
The fiat of the nation has gone forth
against the mongoose. Before con
gress adjourned a bill was passed by
both houses, prohibiting its importa-
ton, says the New York Herald. The
%pugnacious little animal is henceforth
to be placed in the same category with
the Chinese. The mongoose is a ma
tive of India. 1t Is death to rats and
snakes. For the destruction it works
But when it clears out the rats and
snakes it betakes itself to birds and
eggs and any sort of small game it a
get hold Of. That is why the depart
ment of agriculture Classics it as a
noxious animal. Weighed in the bal
ance. away from its native land, its
vices are found to outweigh its virtues,
and therefore it is to be kept out of
Uncle Sans broad domains. Thus far
very few specimens of thee mongoose
have been introduced into this country.
The edict Of exclusion is based mainly
on the experiences of Jamaica. That
island once suffered a plague of rats,
which were particularly destructive in
the a n fields. They were held re-
sponsible for an annual loss of some
thing like $500, 900. In February, 1872.
nine individuals of the mongoose, four
males and five females, were introduc-
ed from India. They increased with
remarkable rapidity and SOC spread
all over the island, even to the tops of
the highest mountains. They proved
inveterate rat-destroyers. A decade
after their Introduction it was esti-
mated that they were thus saving the
sugar planters s225, 900 per num-
And the mongoose was blessed. Still
the mongoose increased, and its muir
derous habits became more and lore
apparent as the rats diminished. 1t
destroyed young pigs, kids, lambs,
puppies, kittens, poultry, game, birds
which nested on or near the ground,
eggs, ground lizards, frogs, turtles
eggs and land crabs. 1t was also
known to eat ripe bananas. pineapples,
young corn, pears. sw~eetpotatoes, CO.
coanuts and other fruits. Toward
the close of the second decade the
mongoose came to be regarded as the
worst pest ever introduced into the
island-worse than the rats which it
destroyed. Then the mongoose was
officially mathematical.
Hawaii, where the moEgoose was
introduced in 1881, underwent a some
what similar experience, and in 1892
a law was passed %forbidding the intro
duction, breeding or keeping of the
mongoose on the island.
All Of which goes to show that the
mongoose is a good animal to let alone
where nature has placed it.

Houston, that in my travels in all

years | have met with more people

than any other remedy, for dyspepsia,
deranged liver and stomach, and for
constipation. l find for tourists and
statesmen, or for persons filling office

Substitute for Coal.

A good deal of anxiety has been de-
voted to the question, what will the
human race do when the coal gives
out? Its disappearance will not make
the slightest difference, as a chemical
substitute has been discovered, which
Is cheaper and better. The new cen
fury is bound to witness many chang
es, but there is one human benefactor
which will remain as firm as the pyr-
amids, and that is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters. 1t it a cure for all stom-
ach ills. No one has been able to dis
cover anything so effective for indi-
gestion, constipation, dyspepsia, bill

Strange Meeting on the Road to
Hahn's Peake.

1t is an old ruse Of lovers when they
fear parental opposition to the sweet
heart of their choice to so manage
that the parents shall see the chosen
one and be capivated by her charms
| without being aware of her idculity
| The plan has been successful in
thousands of cases, if the love stories
of novelists arc to be believed.
Away out in the mountains of Colo
RADIO a kind providence carried out the
old use a few days ago, with the most
complete success. This time it was
not marriage which hung in the bal
anCe. but the fortune left by a lover
whom an unkind fate had slain.
Matt Rash. a prominent young man
of Acton, Tex, was last summer, en-
gagged in mining in the mountains near
Hahn's peak. He met and fell in love
with pretty Annie Bassett. His love
was reciprocated, and their engage
ment was announced. In the ourse
of his business it was necessary for
Rash to carry considerable sums of
money on his person and one night he
was brutally murdered and robbed.
1t transpired that he had left a will.
and when the will was admitted to
probate it was found that he had left
his large property interests to the
Sweetheart, whom he was soon to have
married. Miss Annie Bassctt. When
all this became known to Rash's ia
.thcr the old gentleman declared that
he would break the will. He was sure
that some bold, u~nprinciplcd western
girl had captivated the young mans
fancy and induced him to make a will
in her favor. Perhaps this was in part
Cr Rash set out at once to contest the
will.
A few days ago Mr.. Rash was max
ing the journey overland from Rock
Springs, Wyo,, to Hahn's peak, to be
present at the trial and save his sons
property from the clutches of the willy
adventures. On the way he fell in
with a party also travelling to Hahn's
peak. AS travellers in lonely places
will, they entered into conversation
without the ceremony of introduCtions.
Mr.. Rash was greatly pleased with the
tho n1ninCty nrl t1n ,,,,,,n,
sense of a young woman in the party.
He became especially friendly with
her. and the longer they were together
the more he was pleased with her
sterling qualities.
When they came to inquire each
names, what was his astonish-
ment to learn she IA his sons sweet
heart and heir. the very supposed ad-
ventures whom ne was going to fight
in court for possession of the estate.
Miss Bassett vas as much surprised
to learn that the kind, fatherly old
gentleman whom she had admired SO
much was the father of her murder
ed lover, who had come from his far
away Texas home to beat her out of
her inheritance. So well had Provi-
dence planned their meeting that the
suitin court has been called off. and
father and sweetheart are working to-
gether to detect and punish the STAY
ers of the son and Iover.-Dcnvcr
