MICE HAVE A STANDING IN LAW
They Figured in Recent Contest Over
 Land Ownership.


 From the Spokane Review. The lane-oontest case in which a family Of mIce played 9 prominent part has been decided on the appeal to BingeT Hermann, commissioner of the gen. eral land office at Washington. The rodents are not mentioned in the deci- sion, but the man whom it was claimed allowed the mice to establish resi- denee 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. 4 peculiar feature of the case is that when tie family of mice was first men toned it was tended that their presence in the bed of the entIyman argued an abandonment of the home -tead. and ths 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 n favor of the homesteader. Fred O. Grutt was the entryman, having taken dp 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 shanty on the ranch were a family of mice After hearing the case the registrar and receiver decided that Grutt's en- try should be cancelled From this de- eision 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: If there were any mice in this entrymans bed dur ing the early part of September, 1898, it plainly shows that the entryman did have bed on the land at the time.''

BATHEs IN HER SLEEP.
Pfttey Girl is Rudely Awakened as She
 Is About to Take Plunge.


 A handsome young lady from Pitts burg, who is stopping at hotel on Virginia avenue, Atlantic City, had an experience early the other morning that she is not anxious to repeat. While in a somnambulistie state, bare lzese aF1 clad only in her nightrobe, s5t @=. ed down to the beach and wouii. .zzoDably have walked into the ocean ad she not been stopped by Speeisi Policeman Marmaduke Albert son. There were very few witnesses of the feat, and she is so thankful for it's 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, deeid- edly pretty, with dark hair and lus- trous dark eyes. The affair occurred just before 3 o'clock in the morning. Mike Campi, who keeps fruit stand at the merry -go-round, was standing outside of his place of business when he was startled by the appearance of what he at first thought was specter gliding swiftly over the strand toward the ocean. He called Policeman Al bertson, who started in pursuit of the White-robed figure. When Albertson came close to the figure he spoke, but received no reply He then reached cut his hand, determined to know the worst, but instead of clasping 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 a strange man. Then she realized what had happened and became almost hysterical in her modification. She was treasured, however, when she found that her eap- tor was an officer. Albertson called a carriage and placed the trembling girl i'll 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 a quick good night to the policeman the young lady disappeared, entering the house through an open window. The appearance of the house indicated that the girl had escaped through the same window, after everybody in the house had retired for the night.

 Fortune to Its Owners.
 A correspondent of the Army and Navy Journal having applied to it for information on the subject, that paper answers that the cost of the building of the Columbia has been variously estimated at from $t00,000 to s150,000 and for the Shamrock at from $150,000 to s200 ,000 It then adds: "A sum- mary of the cost of the Shamrock, based on estimates from various sources, is as follows: Construction and rig, s20O.000; pay roll officers and men, including sailmakers and carpen- ters (eight mem. for four months at average of $40, $12,SO0; provisions for men and officers, at $5 week for eighteen weeks, s7,200; clothing for crew, $1,000; for dry-docking twice. $500; tender at $50 a day, for sixty days, s9,o00; tugooat at s60 day, for sixty days, $3,6eo; derrick and lighter services, $500; lighter for storage of spars for six weeks, $500; freight for spars and sails by steamer, $500; pas sage for thirty workmen, riggers, etc, s ,0G0; total, S242, 600. If the special services of the designer. MT. Fife, and of Sailmaker Ratsey, who came to this country, are a charge against the ac- count, the sum would, of course, be so much augmented Reorganization shows that the Erin and Shamrock represent first cost of s725,000. The cost of running the Erin increases the expenses to $s75,000."

 The afresting 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 abort that condition of heat which is necessary in order to cause the blood to c1ot 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 red or almost white heat even sup planting the knife, because it burns through the tissues and at 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 CT boiling pitch. to scar the surface of the flesh after their operations, thus causing an im- mense amount of suffering to the pa. tfent, before the days of ehloroform. A new adaptation Of this use of elec- trieity for the purpose of stopping bleeding has been devised by inclosing platinum wire in a pair of fereeps Of other instrument the wire being insu- lated in bed of burnt pipe elsy, and as soon as the bleeding vessel Is seiz- cd by the forceps and compressed in the ordinary way, an electric current Is turned on, whose effect is so great that the tissues and the walls of the blood vessels are all agglutinated, so that the blood is no longer able to paSS

 Philadelphia Inquirer: ''It was about the witching hour." said the suburbanite. T had left the station some distance behind me, and was on my way up the road toward home. I had got comfortably cool by that time, and the charming influence of the star lit night possessed me and made me feel at peace with all the world. Nor did the fact that I and my new suit had made hit with the friends had been visiting detract from fine fullness of my self-satisfaction. All went we'll until l came to street crossing my road.
