Making Mountain Peaks Accessible.

For the last half century much has
been heard of the perils of mountain,
eering. But while graphic pictures
continue to be drawn of the horrors of
the Alps on foot, with guides and
ropes, no one yet told the trusting
tourist of the dangers which may
await him if he climbs the heights of
Switzerland in railway. The aerial
tracks are rapidly increasing all over
the Fairgrounds of Europe, and in
time perhaps it will be proved that all
mountain peaks may be made aces
sible to the child, the invalid and
aged. Those who desire exciting times
even when climbing by rail should go
to the Alps in spring, when the noun
tains are unburdening themselves of
their heavy load of winter snow and
the work has commenced on the pre-
cipitous railways in PREPARATION for the
summer traffic.

required. Attorneys charge from $25
up, according to the work demanded
by the cases, and as the applications
number about 40, 600 yearly it will be
seen that there is good deal of money
to be divided among the patent law
yers whose signs cover the faces of the
buildings in the vicinity of the patent
Office.
An inventor is not required to en-
ploy an attorney, but probably SO out
of 100 do. In simple cases where there
is no interference with prior claims an
inventor can almost as we'll deal direct
with the government, but in most
cases the knowledge of a lawyer is
valuable He can study other inven-
tions in the same line and knows how
to make the claim of his client broad
enough to cover all that is new and
valuable and not so broad as to be re-
iected.

The st. Peter Herald chronicles the
death of VIM. Hess ian of that city
which took place on Wednesday last.
Two months ago Mr.. Hessian slipped
and sustained shock which has ever
since confined him to his bed, and to-
gether with his advanced age resulted
in his death. Throughout his late
sickness he suffered no pain, and his
end came peacefully. Mr.. Hessian
was 80 years old, and was born in
Cork, Ireland. He came to this coun-
try at the age of twenty and resided
for while in Indiana coming to st.
Peter on 1856. where he has since re-
sided.
Arthur Benack, son of G. D. Ben
ack, went to St. Paul Saturday morn
ing and enlisted in the navy. He pass
ed the examination and in company
with number of other young men
who enlisted left that evening for
Newport, R. l., where they will re-
port at the training station for their
preliminary Instructions He will go
on to training vessel and included in
his service will be a cruise to various
parts of the world. Arthur is about IS
years old, but has always wanted to
go into the navy and now has a
chance to fulfill his ambitions. His
term of service is five years, and it
will prove a most excellent school for

How to Carry a Gun.

There are only two directions in
which the muzzle of a gun can safely
be pointed they are up or down. A
shot fired in air can scarcely injure
anyone or anything and one dis
charged into the ground is equally
harmless. Therefore, in all the differ
ent positions which the gun assumes,
see that it is pointed either up or
down.
Sometimes a man will be seen who
ca rries his gun reversed, holding it by
the muzzle while the fore end rests on
the shoulder and the stock projects
behind. Happily, this practice is not
common, for it is extremely danger
GUS, and many men have been killed
by carrying their guns in this way.
If a man stumbles or steps in hole
or catches his foot on root and falls,
his gun will very likely be thrown for
ward with the muzzle directly toward
his body and may easily enough be
ulSCudrSeu
Sometimes one may see a boy or
even a man who will carry the gun
across the back of the neck, with one
arm over the stock and the other over
the barrels, sometimes with the hand
resting on the muzzle. This is CT
tainly very uncomfortable feeling to
any one who happens to be walking by
the side of the person carrying his gun
in this fashion and opposite the
muzzle end. While the danger of a
discharge is perhaps not great, it is
unpleasant to be walking along with a
gun pointed at your neck or head -

FRANCHISE FOR NEGROES.

The existing qualifications for
suffrage in Georgia are one years resi-
dence in the state and six months in
the county and proof of payment of all
taxes lawfully assessed since 1877.
The last requirement has the effect of
excluding thousands of colored voters
in Georgia by method which is not
repugnant to any federal laws, but it
is from some points of view unsatis-
factory to the white electors for the
reason that practically disfranchises
considerable number of impecunious
white inhabitant citizens. At the close
of the civil war registration of all
the electors of Georgia was authorized,
and it showed the number of colored
citizens at that period to be SO, 600 and
white citizens SO, 800. Since then by
the removal of disabilities resting on
white voters their number has been
largely increased, and in the presi-
Dental election of 1892 the total num-
Der of voters was 200, 900, the actual
number of male citizens Of voting age
at that period being about $50, 600, of
whom 300. 900 were white and $50, 600
colored. The practical effect of the
tax provision of the Georgia election
law is to exclude 105, 600 citizens from
the franchise, of whom considerably
more than two thirds are colored. AL
though this provision has assured
white supremacy. it is unsatisfactory
to many Of the indignant white
voters. who find that in such neigh
boring states as Mississippi and South
Carolina, no such discrimination has
been found necessary. When the
legislature met in October last Gov
Gambler submitted in his message the
following recommendation SIN the
interest of good government and in
the interest of the negro race l recon-
mend that an amendment to the con-
stitution be submitted to the people,
providing for qualified suffrage
basis on an educational or a propert y
qualification or both. A man who has
by integrity and frugality acquired
little home and is taxpayer has been
flowed to vote, whether he can rea d
and write or not; but he who has for
the last thirty years had the oppor
tunity of free schools cannot read and
write and who has had an equal
chance for the acquisition of property
and yet has through Incidence or pro-
fiigacy or vice failed to become tax
payer, contributing something to the
support of his state, should have no
voice in making its laws" The
Georgia method of restricting the
suffrage is regardless of the grand
father clause, under which 9th er
southern states have been able to ex-
clude illiterate black voters, while per-
hitting illiterate white voters to ex-
ercise all their political rights pro-
vided their fathers were qualified to
vote in 1867 or earlier. The present
provision as to suffrage in Georgia
is part of the statute law of that
state, and the constitutional amend
ment which is proposed has, primarily,
for it's purpose to make the discrimi-
nation against the colored voters of
the state permanent New York Sun.

AN OUTBREAK,
Small POx Appears at Lake
Crystal.
Four Supposedly Certain Cases Have
Occurred and Other Parties are
Under Quarantine.

Lake Crystal is wrought up over an
outbreak of smallpox, and has four
certain cases and a number of suspi-
cious cases quarantined. Those who
have the disease are Thos.- Hughes,
Lettie Bender, John Williams and
Maud Dodge, and they are strictly
quarantin ed. In addition to these, the
families of Nit Burrows and Fred
Rask are quarantined, as is also Miss
Belle, the seventeen year old daughter
of Ed. Woodwork.
The disease broke out Friday, and
is believed to have been contracted
from Cosgroves orchestra, which gave
a dance and entertainment at the
opera house Jan. 9th. Mr.. Cosgrove,
the manager of the orchestra, was
taken sick early in the performance
with what is believed to have been
smallpox, but left with the orchestra
next morning A large number of
people were exposed if this is the true
history of the cases that have occurred,
and other cases are expected. Just
about the right length of time has
elapsed since the visit of the orchestra
to allow the outbreak to occur.
Drs. Herring and Cullen are the at
tending physicians and have reported
the cases to DR.. NJ. II. Bracken, secre-
tary of the state board of health, but
he has not yet arrived. DR.. Bracken
is trying to locate the Cosgrove or
chestra, but up to yesterday had not
succeeded in doing so.
While it is thought that the disease
was brought to Lake Crystal by the
Cosgrove orchestra, there is much
doubt in the minds of some people
about this. An orchestra bearing the
same name furnished N usic for dance
given at the A. o. U. W. hall by the
Ladies of the Maccabbees on or about
Jan. 14th, but the members were all n
good health so far as known, and no
fears are entertained in this city on it's
account.
Undoubtedly all possible will be
done to stamp out the disease at Lake
Crystal, if indeed it is smallpox, and
as in any event it's appearance is in a
very mild form no unnecessary alarm
should be felt by our neighbors.
Modern methods are very successful in
coping with the disease.
