A Sailor Who Stuttered
he Cleveland Leader.

From the Cleveland Leader
 There is one marked peculiarity about most men who stutter. When they become excited the only thing they can do to re- cover theeir lost speech is to sing, and when in anger their most fluent mode of commu- nication is through profanity. Not long ago a boat which sailed from this port had on board a sailor who stuttered under all circumstances. He was excitable in the extreme, and at critical times it was all most impossible for him to say a word. The mate of the vessel was a tall, muscu- lar fellow by the name of Barnabas. His peculiarity was that he always kept him self busy and that when he had no work of his own he would do the work of the sailors. One day he was busy along the rail, and the stuttering seaman, looking that way, saw him lose his balance and drop into the lake. He ran in an excited way to the captain and was trying to re- port the incident, but could give vent to nothing more ineligible than a succession of sputters. The master divined from the look on the mans face that something was wrong, and shouted out:
 "If you can't say it, d-n it, sing iti' The sailor took two hitches in his trous- CTS, whistled once and droned out in a sing-song way:
 "Overboard is Barnabas
 Half mile astarn of us."

The above is a complete list of
all the masqueraders that ap-
peared before the Inspection
Committee, and we have endeav-
ored to give the characters they
represented, as they gave the
names to US. BY experience we
have found out this is the only
way to procure the names and
costumes for publication, this is
the reason and the only reason
why we endeavor to get on this
committee.
Had prize been awarded the
most beautiful costume-and it
would not be bad idea to award
one or two prizes-Miss Mabel
Jose, as "Gold Standard or Gold
bug" we believe, would have
won the first prize, with Miss
May Purviance, Miss Pearl Nc
Gowan or Miss Mable Burton all
close contestants. The "Gold
Standard of Goldbug" was quite
appropriate these Mckinley
times, although not so very ap-
propriate in Is to 1 country
like this, but nevertheless, Miss
Mabel did well, and is entitled
to full credit.
Many other beautiful costumes
were worn and are deserving of
praise, but we do not care to give
a detail of each, as we have
not the space to devote to this
matter, only to state that Miss
Josephine Westerholm, who rep
resented the MESSENGER, acted
well her part, and looked charm
ing in the paper costume.

Timber ON Public Mineral Lands.

By virtue of the power vested
in the Secretary of the Interior
by the first section of the act of
June 3, 1873, entitled, "An act
authorizing the citizens of Colo
RADIO, Nevada and the Territories
to fell and remove timber on the
public domain for mining and
domestic purposes, the follow
ing rules and regulations are
hereby prescribed
1. The act applies to the Stat
es of Colorado, Nevada, Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota,
South Dakota, and Utah, and the
Territories of New Mexico and
Arizona, and all other mineral
districts of the United States.
2. The land from which timb-
er may be felled or removed un-
der the provisions of this act,
must be known to be of a strictly
mineral character and mot sub
ject to entay under existing laws
of the United States, except for
mineral entry" Parties who
take timber from the public lands
under assumed authority of this
act must stand prepared to show
that their acts are within the
prescribed terms of the law
granting such privilege, the bur-
den being on such parties of
proving by preponderance of
evidence that the land from
which the timber is taken is
mineral within the meaning of
the act.
8. The privileges granted are
confined to the citizens of the
United States and other persons,
bona fide residents of the States,
Territories and other mineral
districts, provided for in the act.
A. The uses for which timber
may be felled or removed are
limited by the wording of the act
to building, agricultural, min
ing,or other domestic purposes. :"
5. No timber is permitted to
be felled or removed for purpos-
es of srle or traffic, or to manu-

Gle of merchandise, or for any

and regulations.
6. No timber cut or removed
under the provisions of this act
may be transported out of the
State or Territory where pro-

s. No growing trees of any
kind whatsoever less than eight

ing timber under the provisions
of this act must utilize all of each

tions shall take effect February

and regulations heretofore pre-
scribed under said act by this
Department are hereby res
cinded.
