Actors have strange experiences. Not
so very many years ago Edward Sass
was acting at johannesburg in com
pany organized by his brother-in-law,
George Edwards. One Of the plays
produced was ''The Solicitor" by Mr.
Darnley. During one Of the acts the
players wore uniforms and accouter
ments Mr.. Sass received request
from Mr.. Bleksley, an official Of the
local fire brigade, to lend the swords
used in the play to the Transvaal gov
eminent in order to make good dis
play at the opening of the Delagoa
Bay railway. The government was
short of swords and thought that even
theatrical weapons would be more eff
fective than empty scabbards and re-
volver cases. Mr.. Sass referred the
official to Mr.. Edwards, who happened
to be in England, and the display was
shorn of it's most decorative FEATURE

WASHINGTON, April 6.-The execu-

office Of appraiser of merchandise at

strenuous efforts to secure confirmation,

Dynum was opposed by all the Demo

senators, and the arguments in opposi-
sion which have heretofore been made
were repeated. The Democrats charged

POWER.

Have you seen the locomotive as she struggles up
the slope,
Painting blowing, shrieking onward, like trav-
eler spurred by hope,
Onward, upward, ever pressing, like being with
a soul2
But the power that propels her is shovelful of
coal
Till, at last, she's reached the summit, then
adown the hillside flies,
Where another mighty mountain starts its jour-
ney to TIE skies;
Now no effort, swiftly downward, gently DER
each grassy knoll,
Still she now and then is calling for a shovelful
of coal.
So in life we upward journey, up life's trouble
some ascent
To the Mecca we are seeking, earnestly our feet
are bent,
But the Journey would be lighter, sooner we
would reSch the goal,
IT, as fiercely onward pressing we would shovel in
the coal
True, some early struggle upward till they reach
the mountain height,
Then perhaps lie idly waiting where the journey
is more light,
Till again they reach the bottom, but the fellow
on the roll
Of the mighty is the fellow who keeps shoveing
the coai.

Improving the Statue.

Even France, the land of art, has it's
Dogberrys. A French sculptor shipped
a bronze statue of General LIE Flo to a
little town called Quimper, where it
was set up and yelled to await the day
on which it was to be presented form
ally. The wise mayor of the town
examined it critically and decided that
it could be improved vastly. So he set
few Workmen to the task, and when
the sculptor arrived he had the great
pleasure Of finding that his beautiful
gilt bronze statue had been secured
neatly with emery and was shining
like the brass on a man-of-war
A tasteful frame of wood had been
put around the marble pedestal, and
as, unfortunately, the local artisan had
made it too small, and to accommodate
this, the coattails and feet of most of
the figures on the pedestal had been
cut off.

WAsH!NeeToN. April 6.-The Repqbe'
ican managers of the house have SUBJ
staptially agreed upon programme
relative to the Porto Rican tariff bill
They have canvassed the situation and
have decided to hold a caucus or con-
ference at 8 O'CLOCK, at which the man"
ayers will present their plan. This plan
is TO concur in the senate amendments
and thus avoid all delays and problems
iQyQlyed ip an attempt to amend the
senate provisions. The managers will
advocate the adoption of a rule which
will allow two days for the discussion
Of this proposition and then bring it to
. vote. A very prominent Republican
. the house, who has canvassed the sit
aation, says that the proposition will
carry by substantial majority larger
than that by which the original bill
passed the house.
The managers agreed that the plan to
substitute the house bill providing a
civil government for Porto Rico for the
senate provision would be bad policy,
rs there was really little difference be-
tween the two, and the senate provision
had the advantage Of having been thor
onghly discussed in the senate and per-
fOctsd there.
The Republicans Of the house who
voted against the original bill at an in

Glenwood Springs, Colo Dec. II A
very important land case concerning the
right OF gilsonite locators, is on before
tho land Office here The case is EMIT
led "a. E Richardson, OF Grand juno
tion VA NJ McManus, of New Jers ""
and involves the title to portion OF the
plaaer claim located by j. G. Taussig, of
st. Louis, in 1895. The land covers a
strip four miles long and from so to $50
feet wide.
Mr.. McManus has secured both placer
and lode locations on a portion OF the
ground involved. The other portion is
being contested on the question of
whether placer or lode location shall
be considered on gileonite ground. One
of the questions raised is whether or not
gilsonite is mineral. A portion OF this
land is rich enough in gilsonite to allow
a large amount being mined and hauled
from point eight miles south Of Range
ly via Meeker to Rifle on the railroad.
The case was taken under advisement
last night, and the attorneys were given
Is days in which to file briefs. The case
will undoubtedly be appealed to the gen
