Citizens of New York are having IA
fight with the Tammany government
to get the latter to put up proper street
signs. legible day and night. This is
an improvement badly needed, also, in
Scranton. There ought to be at every
street intersection sign post, illumin-
able at night, showing not only the
names of the intersecting streets hut
also how the adjoining blocks are
numbered. If the city would go this
far, perhaps tho citizens would then

There Is still another inquiry which

In raising the duty on sugar imports

ham carried oil to the school building
in bottle and at the noon hour
poured it on some kindling under the
central stairway, and, after school was
dismissed in the afternoon, set fire to
it. Gladys Cunningham testified that
her accuser was the guilty one, that
she had taken no part in the crime
other than being an eyewitness to it..
The court decided likewise. In the
case OF the second attempt, Lizzie
Bosqui testified that Pearl Evans ac-
companied her to the schoolhouse on
the evening of February %; that che
poured oil through hole in the win
dow, which had been made with a
stone; that Pearl lighted two matches
and with the second succeeded in firing
the building. Pearl Evans testimony
laid the blame to Lizzie Bosqui. She
stated that the only part taken by
herself was to accompany the latter,
and became en- unwilling witness to
the act. AS before stated, the court
bound them both over to the Superior
| Court.

the air and sun upon running water
Sewerage from large towns and cities
is conducted into rivers, and the ac.
ton of the sun and the agitation OF
the waters by reasons OF the wind and
other agencies, cause the waste mat
ter and germs to become oxidized.
Impure water should not be used
for washing purposes, as the germs
may remain on the things washed.
Typhoid fever has been known to
spread by milk cans being washed in
impure water. The use of ice formed
of such water should also be avoided,
as it is just as apt to contain the
germs of diseases as the water ITSELF
One o! the best safeguards against the
dangers of disease is to boil all water
used for drinking purposes.

The Banishment of Eve.

A small colony Of men who are of
the opinion that women are not nee
essary to their happiness are about to
establish themselves in q salubrious
and fertile corner of the State Of New
York and to vigorously exclude from
their midst all women, both young
and old. In this way they will find
peace and avoid worry. Their friend
ships will be undisturbed, their minds
will be unrufiled, their work and their
amusements will show no checks, and
they seem to fancy that they will all
be supremely happy. Of course the
scheme will end in dismal failure.
The cooks may be perfect, the Chinese
laundrymen may wash and mend
most satisfactorily, the domestic ar
rangements may be thoroughly car
ried out by male servitors, but there
is great consolation in the knowledge
that man will not be satisfied all the
the time. He will miss being worried,
he will miss having some thing at
which to grumble.
More than all, he will miss being
admired, and as the vanity OF men is
even more insistent than that of wo.
man, no man will be happy under
such barren conditions.

BUCLE NOTES FROM BRYAN.

According to the dictionary OF the
reOrganizers, Democrat is man
who votes the Republican ticket in
national campaigns, but is generous
enough to allow Democrats to vote for
him in municipal campaign.
1t should be remembered, in con-
nection with the Boer war for inde-
pendence, that it took the Revolu.
tionary fathers eight years to win, and
there were times when their cause
seemed about as hopeless as the Boer
cause does now.
at looks as if force and greed rule
the world" said Mr.. Harrison the
night before he was stricken with i'll
ness. This was not benediction, it
was an indictment of the imperialism
which is carrying the two leading ma.
tions of the world back toward the
dark ages.
The President has announced that
he will 90 to San Francisco soon to
witness the launching of a battleship.
There is still work for the Peace So
ciety when the chief executive of q
great nation travels across the conti-
tinent to celebrate the completion Of
an engine OF destruction.
John Sherman, the greatest finan-
cier in the Republican party, re-
pudiated the Philippine policy of his
party; Benjamin Harrison, the last
Republican President before McKin.
ley, repudiated the Philippine policy
OF his party; Thomas B. Reed, the
most distinguished Republican out Of
office, has repudiated the Philippine
policy of his party. These things
might disturb the President, but for
the fact that Mr.. Hanna is ever near
and keeps the finger of destiny pointed
toward the Orient.

JOHN n. MITCHELL.
Philadelphia Press.


We venture to say that no other
man in the history OF the country has
been a candidate for the United States
Senate as long, so often and with such
varied results as John H. Mitchell oil
Oregon, who was elected for the fourth
time Sunday morning of the last ses.
sion day. Mr.. Mitchell is only &c, and
it is not his fault if he has not been in
the United States Senate ever since he
became eligible. He was first candi.
date in 1866, when 81 years of age
against Henry w. Corbett. He lost
the nomination in the Republican
party caucus by one vote, but he bided
his time, and when Corbett's term ex.
pired in 1873 Mr.. Mitchell succeeded
him.
He proved himself an alert, indus.
triOus and efficient Senator, but when
his time had expired the Oregon Legis-
lature proved to be Democratic and it
chose John H. Slater to succeed him.
The other Senator from Oregon at
that time was the Democrat, Lafay-
cite Grover, and Republican Legis-
lature in 1882 had the election of his
successor. Mr.. Mitchell was candi-
date and had the caucus nomination,
and after struggle lasting until near
the end of the legislative session JOS
eph N. Dolph was elected. When the
Senate convened on March 4, 1885,
there was vacancy in the Oregon del.
egation. Mr.. Slater's term had ex-
pired. but the Oregon Legislature,
though Republican, had not been able
to elect his successor. In the Novem-
ber following Mr.. Mitchell succeeded
in securing his election, and this time
was able to stay in the Senate twelve
years.
His long and arduous fight for cleo.
ton to fourth term in 1897 is still
fresh in public recollections. He had,
or claimed to have, majority OF the
Legislature on joint ballot, but his op-
ponents we're able to keep one branch
from organizing, and so no Senator
could be elected and no other business
transacted. The Governor OF Oregon
attempted to fill the vacancy by the
appointment of Henry w. Corbett,
and his rejection by the Senate by
reason Of the votes Of Senators Quay
and Penrose fixed precedent which
Mr.. Quay found it impossible to over
come when he in turn came TO the
Senate with similar credentials.
Mr.. Mitchell's fourth election ends
another OF Oregon's political Senator
ial contests and defeats Henry w,
Corbett, who in his turn defeated
Mitchell more than thirty-four years
ago. Allison, of Iowa, and Stewart, OF
Nevada, are the only Senators still
serving who were in the Senate when
Mr.. Mitchell was first sworn in twenty.
eight years ago. He will bring back
to the Senate experience, industry and
good judgment on most questions.

WONDERFUL STORY.
IT HAS ALL THE EARMARKS OF
A FAKE.

Remarkable Cave Alleged to Have Been Dis
covered in Lewis County and Explored for a
Distance Of Five Miles-Remans Of People
Nearly Eight Feet Tall Found in One Cavern.
Special to Evening News,
The reported discovery of a large
cave in the eastern part of the
county is the topic Of conversation
on the streets OF Chehalis. If the de.
tails given out are true it is one of the
most remarkable discoveries in the
history OF Lewis county, State Of
Washington. The gentleman who
tells the story is of undoubted verac.
ity. In fact there is no conceivable
reason why he should misrepresent
things.
The cave is in the extreme eastern
part of the county. The entrance is
beneath huge boulder on a sloping
hillside. The exploration was made
to the distance OF five miles. This far
the passage was easily made, but after
this the progress became more diff.
cult. According to the reports the
sights to be seen were strange and
wonderful.
After entering lower passage
which lay beneath the main cavern,
the explorer came to a subterranean
lake. Upon the pebbled beach near
this lake were found boats of ancient
and strange make. Some of these
boats were petrified, some partially so.
The water in the lake was beautiful
and clear.
In one of the small rooms or apart
ments of the first cavern were found
the remains of two human beings,
those of man and woman. Both
were much larger than the men and
women OF to-day, the man being about
Z feet 10 inches in stature and the
woman q few inches less. Both
bodies were either frozen stiff or num-
ified, most probably the former, as the
room was intensely cold, the walls be-
ing covered with ice.
A number of tools were found such
as would be used in cutting stone.
The hammers and drills seemed to be
made of brass, very highly tempered.
Judging from the nature and
amount OF work done in the interior
of the cavern, it must have taken
Herculean labor and a great many
years to accomplish it. The work
seems to have been done ages ago and
by n very early or prehistoric race.
This cavern. in all probability, either
served or was intended to serve as a
dwelling for these early people.
A party OF Chehalis men are prepar-
ing to visit the spot and make further
explorations.

A Doll House for q Hospital.

One of the most famous of very
modern doll houses is the one given
to the children OF Edinburgh hospital
by the King Of Siam. In all his
travels, nothing else moved him and
appealed to him as did that pathetic
crowd of white-faced, suffering, SO
said this soft-spoken, gentle-faced
Oriental. So he went back to London
and took counsel with English friends
As a result of this consultation q $500
doll house went to the Children's
hospital at Edinburgh, with the conn.,
pliments of the King OF Siam.
