Roosevelt was ranching up on the Lit

recollections of those days. Said he:
Nothing amused the cowboys more
than Roosevelts choice of words and

in language, and at first was unable to
tackle the cow-punchers slang. While
driving the first bunch of cattle to his

them started up coulee. An expert

THE AWFUL SUFFERING
SLAVES ON SHIPBOARD,

Every one knows how wearsome it is
to lie for any great length of time in
one position, even on a wel-made bed.
We must needs turn over when we are
awakened in the night. But the slaves
We're chained down naked on the planks
of the decks and shelves-planks that
We're rough just as they came from the
saw, and had cracks between them.
No one could turn from side to side to
rest the weary body. They must lie
there on their backs for eighteen hours
at a stretch, even in pleasant weather
in port.
Hard as that fate was, new tortures
were added with the first jump of the
ship over the waves. For she must roll
to the pressure of the wind on the sails,
that ththose on the weather-sde found
their heels higher than their heads, and
when the ships angle increased under
the weight of a smart breeze the un-
fortunate sometimes sagged down to
leeward, until they were stopped by the
irons around ankle and wrist. They
were literally spended--crucified in
their shackles.
Even that was not the worst Of their
sufferings that grew out of the motion
of the ship, for she was rarely steady
when heeled by the wind. She had to
roll, and as she did so the slaves some
times slid to and fro, with naked bodies
on the rough and splintered decks
There was never voyage even in the
best ships where the slaves did not suf-
fer tortures from mere contact with the
slave-deck
To the sufferings due to these causes
were added other torrents, when the
weather was stormy. For then it was
necessary to cover the matches lest the
waves that swept across the deck pour
down and fill the ship. The slaves We're
confined in utter darkness, and the
scant ventilation afforded by the hatch
ways was shut off. Serious as that
was, still worse must be told, The ne
groes We're made violently seasick
more readily than white people even
they sometimes died in their convul-
sions. The heat and foul air quickly
brought on more serious illness; but
there the slaves were kept in their
chains for days al a stretch, wholly
helpless and wholly unattended.--SCri

POWER FROM THE WAVES AND
TIDES


With visions of exhausted coal sup
plies, even though the end be far off
come thoughts of power from sources
other than coal. from wind and water,
and from the restless ocean waves and
tides OF water-power there are a
goodly number of important installa-
lions, principally in the United states,
where electric-power distribution from
over comparatively long distances has
reached a high state Of development.
In Great Britain, on the other hand,
power from waterfalls rs a scarce COM
modify, and not much is to be hoped for
In this direction, so that there Is some
thing of interest in recent forecast OF
the country, with every hill or other
point of vantage STUDDED with huge
windmills for generating electricity, to
be subsequently distributed to manu-
featuring centers. Many years, howev-
Ell would have TO elapse before coal
would become sufficiently dear to make
such a scheme worth considering in a
practical way. Wave-motor and tide
power schemes have been almost end
less in number. The former have, in a
few instances, been used for light
pumping work at seaside places, but
such pumping outfits have been very
far from demonstrating that the wave
motor could ever be seriously consid-
cred as prime mover where large
powers We're demanded in fact, the
wave-motor is little better than a toy.
As to power from the tides, there is lit
tie to be said, except that much money
has been wasted in vain endeavors to
turn it to practical account. The tide
power scheme probably always will be
alluring and also disappointing. The
disappointment comes from the fact
that very few people seem to take the
trouble TO figure out how much water
and how considerable a fall are re-
quired to give any useful amount of
power, A horsepower for a day of ten
hours, for example, would require some
thing like one hundred and twenty tons
of water falling from a height Of one
hundred feet, so that a five hundred
Se-poWer factory, say, would need
sixty thousand tons of water at a one
hundred-foot head On the basis of
thirty-six cubic feet of water to the ton,
there would thus be over two million Gu
bic feet of water, and this would make
a fair-sized pond, say, about one thou
sand feet long, two hundred feet wide,
and ten feet deep. There is In these few
figures something that may help to
open the eyes of the tide-power plan in
ventor and of those who are in the hab-
it of putting money into such things

said that he didn't like the appearance
of things when the asphalt and SYRIA
cuse brick aldermen held up their hands
in holy horror at iron shale brick, which
the street committee had found to be a
durable pavement. 1t seemed strange
that the simon-pure board of aldermen,
after the storm of protests from cit-
zens against asphalt, went on and voted
for asphalt pavements on Elm and
Crown streets.
While Mr. Bracken was speaking AL
derman Corcoran, who has spoken for
asphalt block, stepped through the door
leading from the ante-room and began
talking to one Of the councilmen. At
this Councilman Harkins called upon
the chair to stop lobbying on the floor
of the chamber. The chair gave the de-
sired caution and Mr.. Corcoran retired
Councilman Sullivan said that the ar
eument for competition by all makers
of vitrified brick was no reason for
voting for "vitrif1ed brick in the order
against iron shale brick Such
competition would permit of the pur-
chase of an inferior kind of brick, for
which, Of course. lower bids could be
offered That wouldn't be the best bar
gain for the city.
A vote on the amendment to adopt
the committee report was then lost by
vote Of II to 16, the members voting
as follows:

ley, Buchmuller, Flynn, Tutty, Pauly

The vote on concurrence with the al
dermen in appropriating for a vitrified
brick pavement on Chapel street was
then taken and resulted in % in favor
of such concurrence to 10 against. The
charter requires that all appropriations
must receive majority vote of all the
members absent and present. which
would be %. The appropriation order
was therefore not passed.

WHEN TWINS MARRIED TWINS.


(IN Z. Curtis in Chicago Record)
Down in West Virginia the other day
I learned of an astonishing domestic
ilcident which is worthy the attention
of biologists and believers in the doe
Jrine of heredity. About a year ago
Dorothy and Parthenia Freeman, twin
sisters, living in BreedOn. a mining vii
1age near Huntington, were married to
Walter J. and Howard Z. Swanson
twin brothers, engaged in the lumber
trade. The ceremony took place in the
village church. The double wedding
was attended by the entire population
for miles around. and was widely COM
mented upon in the newspapers be-
cause Of the peculiar circumstances.
It Is not often that twins marry twins.
On the 18th Of October last, at p.
m. Mrs Walter J. Swanson gave birth
TO three babies, ali girls. weighing to-
gether twenty-seven pounds. Half an
hour later her sister, Mrs. Howard +.
Swanson. in the same house, gave birth
TO three boys whose combined weight
was thirty pounds. Both the mothers
and the entire team of babies are as
well as can be expected under the cir
cumstances.
Mr.. swanson. the father of the girls.
is a Democrat. and has shown his de-
votion to his candidate for president
by naming them Willie. Jennie and
in-law is a staunch Republican and has
named his three boys Hanna, Mckinley
and Roosevelt. a. y. White. the Repub-
lican candidate for governor of West
Virginia. and Judge John II. Holt. the
Democratic candidate. held joint de-
bate at Breeder two days after the six
little ones came into the world and
acted as gOdfathers at the christening
Mr. White standing sponsor for the
three Republican boys and Judge Holt
for the three Democratic girls, al
though the Judge declared that it must
not be taken as a precedent CT as evil
dence that he is in favor of trusts.
Judge Holt who IS the authority for
this story. says that it is just the OTdi-
nary luck Of the Democratic party in
West Virginia, whose majority IS being
rapidly cut down by immigration. He
says that nearly every voter that comes
into the state nowadays is Republi-
can.

ENGLAND's sPERsONAL ASSET

4 AIONG THE COMMENTS by the
y English that have been waited
across the water since the Hay
Pauncefote treaty secured the center
OF the stage, probably the most refresh
Sngly ingenious is from the columns Of
the London Saturday Review. After
commenting on Mr.. Hays administra-
ton of foreign affairs as very satisfac-
tory from an English viewpoint, tie
Review remarks rather doIefuHy:
Whatever we have gained by the
presence of Mr.. Hay in the state de-
parment. may be lost in the event of
his departure; it is purely a personal
asset"
How delightful! The presence Of
John Hay in the secretary of states
Office is looked upon by Englishmen as
"a personal asset" This is The sort OF
man we entrusted with the negotiating
Of one Of the most important treaties
of modern times. SO we'll did he per
form his duties that as secretary of
state he has come TO be looked upon
by EngIishmen as an English asset. In
that event it is safe to pat hinl down
as an American liability.
No one who has paid any attention
70 the terms of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty viii be inclined to gainsay the
English view Of Mr. Hay as a personal
asset of England. In his treaty he has
been careful to give England every
right and privilege in the canal she
could possibly claim or wish for. The
United sta s, on the contrary, was
left as helpless as though IT was as re
mote TO American territory as to Eng
land, to say nothing of the fact that all
the expense of construction is TO be
bone entirely by this country.
Fortunately for US the document has
to go through the hands of the senate,
and the chances arr that before that
body gets through with it there viii be
added some amendments written nei-
Their by British ambassadors nor by
Britain's personal asset, in the secre-
tary Of states Office. But this wise
provision OF the constitution does not
relieve Us from the ridiculous position
of having a secretary of state who is
regarded by another country as a per
sonal asset. Sir. Mckinley alone can
do that. and as he is something of "a
personal asset" himself to others than
the people who elected him, 1t is not
likely that he viii be in any hurry to
take the necessary step.

SLAP AT IRRIGATION.

A BILL FOR THE CONSTITUTE
a ton of reservoirs to store water
on the Humboldt river in Nevada
and Cor the disposition and settlement
of the public lands within reach Of
irrigation has been introduced in con-
gress by Representative Newlands. He
further announces his intention of in
PRODUCING similar bills relating to the
rruckee. Carson and Walker rivers.
The indications are that this is about
as far as he viii set. Incidental with
introducing the first bill he requested
the chairman OF the committee on
rivers and harbors to sive hearing to
the matter of constructing reservoirs
and the storage of water in the arid
lands of the west. He was promptly
informed that the committee would
consider no legislation relating to irri-
CATION or the retaining of arid lands.
This is not surprising. It is right in
line With the Republican policy of
coddling the east and letting the west
shift for itself. 1t is this policy that
has hardened to the oily sOphistry
of the eastern banker and closed the
minis OF the nation to western silver.
] is this policy which framed the ship
subsidy bill for the benefit Of a few
eastern corporations and, in the first
draught of the measure, even went so
far as to leave the Pacific coast trade
without a chance to get a penny Of the
donated millions.
The Republican party processes to
he the party OF expansion It wants to
add new territory to the country, but
it is evidently of the opinion that the
only territory that IS worth having
must be in remote parts of the globe.
To add several thousand square miles
of the richest land in the world is
deemed inexpedient because that land
happens to lie within the United States
and could be secured without blood
shed and at the comparatively small
cost of storing the water of western
rivers.
While expansion IS the order of the
Day, why not have a little internal ex-.
pansion2 The Hanna government pro-
fesses to be very anxious to build up
a large commercial marine. This end
can be attained far more speedily and
not more extensively by adding mil
lions of acres Of productive lands to the
interior of the country than by dOnat-
ing millions of money to one or two
pet corporations.
