The republican party and the
trusts are too close together to be torn
apart. They have formed a league of
fensive and defensive, which they have
found mutually advantageous. The
trusts contribute millions Of dollars
to buy enough votes TO ecu the con-
troll of the taxing power of the gov
eminent to the trusts, and then the
republican party uses that power to re-
imburse the trusts and enable them to
make a good profit on the transaction.

The principal aim now is to reach
the trusts, and no more effective way
suggests itself than by depriving them
of tariff protection. This projections
gives them complete control of the
American market, and consequently
outrageous profits on what they SELL
at home, while at the same time il
leaves them in a position to- sell their
surplus products at reduced profits in
foreign markets - thus fgurativel5-
killing two birds with one stone. In all
of this the American h
are outside the pale of trust protection
are the ones upon whom the burden of
the injustice chiefly falls. These con-
stitute a vast majority of the people,
and If they choose to apply a remedy
they have it in their power to do So

Chuck had promised to come, and we
were anxious to know with whom he
would stay. Then Bach arrived, n
soon after Graun, whose genius alone
inspired his lovely melodies, and with
him came those ~inseparable friends,
Furch and Hasse. From Hamburg
came Gassmann and Telemann. Few
of you, / dare say, have ever heard OF
these composers, and yet, beheVe me-
YOU are more familiar with their mel
odies than you imagine. Many OF the
popular tunes you now admire L v
heard in my youth fresh from n
brain of their original composers, N
free ron the twirls and a X cium-
silly added to disguise their true orr
gin. These illustrious persons were as
simple and transformations in manner
as it is possible to be. They assem-
bled in ST. Cecilia's hall, and 1 had the
privilege of assisting at the rehearsals.
I often passed hours listening to their
long discussions on harmonies, fugues,
scales and chords. Sometimes n OF
them would call for a glass of beer,
or offer his companions a bottle OF
Rhine wine.
One night Gluck played for the first
time a portion of his Iphigenia, and on
another Bach enchanted us by a per-
Torrance OF his delightful Preludes.
Rach. somehow or another, took a
fancy to me. He had observed the

TRICK OF VOICE.

how Ono Lawyer Keeps tho judge From
Sleeping.
There is said to be a lawyer in Phil
adelphia who possesses a trick Of the
voice to which certain measure of his
success in United States Supreme court
practice is due. The trick consists in
waking judge Whether it is a COM
mon practice for the high dignitaries
Of the federal supreme bench to in
dulge in a nap in the course of a long
and tedious argument, such happen
ings are not unknown, and it is we'll
for an able logician of the bar to be
prepared for it. The trick of waking a
sleepy Judge would seem to be some-
thing in the nature of slamming law
book under his nose or connecting his
personality with the current of an
electric battery. But the trick is ex-
planned as purely matter of sound
involved in the skillful control Of the
voice. 1t is said that barrister prac-
ticed in the art and rhetoric of address,
ing the bench can gather all the waves
Of sound from his throat into a focus
and deposit it in the orif1ce of the
Judges ear with the general effect at a
bomb. The trick. however it Is ac-
complished, is said to have been worked
repeatedly with success on the late
Judge McKennan, whose habit Of going
to sleep on the bench was once a no.
torious subject of comment in the liti-
cation over the Berliner telephone pat
ents. This queer trick Of the voice,
while it is said to be the peculiar prop
erty of one celebrated lawyer, is prob
ably attempted often with varying sue
cess by others.-Philadelph Record.

CAUSES SURPRISE,

Connecticut Man Declares His Asse0-
meat II Much Too Low.
Robert M. Bruce, one Of the mil
lionaires OF CT eenwich. Conn, former
cotton broker and friend Of E. C..
Benedict, has caused surprise by ap-
pearing before the board of assessors
Of the town and asking them to have
his assessment raised so per cent, says
the New York Sun. He said that he
had never paid any attention to the
making ont of his list of taxable prop
erty, leaving it with the assessors. He
had looked the matter up recently and
that he should into the town treasury
and he ask ed for the raise. The asses
sors promised to comply with his
wishes and it Is understood that they
will raise the taxes Of all other mil
lionaires there to some extent. Mr..
Bruce's example is the subject Of much
comment. For many years past Green
witch has raised $4,000 by taxation,
and has spent 100000 more than it
raised. The debt has rolled up to
nearly 100000. The town appointed
an investigating committee and the
members reported that more money
must be ra;:eti by taxation. Fixing UP
the taxes last fall was plt over until
next spring. The assessors figured up
he amount Ct taxable property and an
increase Of the tax rate seemed prob
Idle. Persons who have looked up tho
natter say that there appears to be
one law for the poor man and another
for the rich man. The law says that
each property owner must put in a
true list of the real value of all prop
erty, real and personal, but the general
rule among persons Of moderate mems
has been to pay on 60 per cent of abe
value. The millionaires in some in
>tances have not paid on 10 per cent Of
he property.

COLD INDEED,

'eoDe Of the Odd Tricks Of Aiquid Air
Liquid air is. perhaps; the coolest
thing in the world. It is so sold that a
cake OF ice Is like fierce fire as COM
pared with 1t. for kettle OF liquid al:
placed on a cake of ice will boil Just
az water boils over hot fire. It
freezes mercury so hard thss one can
drive nails In it. The story is told that
Mr.. Charles E. Tripler, the expert
menter in liquid air, recently took a
quart can Of the remarkable substance
with him on a visit to friend. On
the way he stopped in a restaurant to
eat beefsteak. The waiter brought
in hot broiled steak and placed it in
front of Mr.. Tripler. AS SOFA as the
walters back was turned Mr.. Tripler
hastily opened the can and exposed the
meat to the liquid air Instantly the
steak was frozen hard as rock. When
the waiter came back his customer
complained that the steak waS frozen.
So the waiter called the heat waiter.
and the head waiter blamed it all on
the cook and the cook was at Il loss to
explain, and the result was that the
frozen steak was taken back into the
kitchen as a mysterious curiosity. A
new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripler,
and this one he ate with much relish.

Jackonsville, Fla, May S-The
fire which destroyed nearly all OF
this city last Friday was especially
hard on the colored people OF this
city. Several churches. one coll
lege and an Institute, beside the
homes of a large number Of our
most thrifty citizens have gone up
in flames.
This is prehaps the most severe
blow that the colored people have
yet been called upon to bear.

EMERALD MINES.
CAey Wore Lost for Centuries, but Have

CAey Wore Lost for Centuries, but Hsve
Been Redisco~ersd.
What are known as the emerald
range that extends for a long distance
parallel to the Red sea and a few
leagues west Of its coast, in latitude
rather south Of Eofu, on the Nile. says
the Geographical Journal. This, like
some other parts of the region-such
as the porphyry Quarries of Jebel Dok-
han--was tar better known than 1t is
now, and more thickly peopisd, about
twenty centuries ago, and only during
the present one. so far as we know.
have isolated explorers at long inter-
walls found their way into the treasure
house Of ancient Egypt. When its rul-
ers first used the emerald for personal
adornment is uncertain. Whether the
large, clear stones which, according to
ancient authorities, ornamented the
Egyptian temples were really emeralds
Is matter Of dispute, but as this gem
owing to its regular shape, which Is
commonly a six-sided prism-and It's
beautiful tint stands less in need Ct
the lapidary's art than many others, It
probably formed part of the regalia
OF princes at very early period. That
1t was known to the Romans is GER
tain, and the mines now revisited used
to send their treasures to the gem cut
tiers of the capital. Ever since then
the stone has been highly esteemed.
These mines of the northern Ethbal
seem to have remained untouched since
the decline and fall of Rome caused
them to be deserted. According to Mr..
MacAllister, the workings are only
small passages, hardly more than bur-
rows, excavated in the emeraldbear-
ing cyst and sometimes extending for
a long distance. Many scattered ruins
may also be seen-dwellings, watch
towers and tombs, besides those OF fen
settlements. In these, no doubt, the
mining population used to live, and
the difference In style suggest they
were occupied for long time. Some
are mere novels, very roughly built;
others show a more careful construc-
tion. while third group are we'll fin
ished. Mr.. MacAllister also found three
rock-cut temples. for the soft stone
lends itself to that kind of architecture.
He thinks that .Nsir pillars. though
very primitive III -y,e, indicate Egyp-
tian designs, with traces of Greek in
fuence. One, indeed, contains crum-
bling inscription In that language
Broken pottery, sometimes ornament
ed, is abundant. but there is no evil
dence that the neighborhood attracted
visitors for any but business purposes
Notwithstanding this, there was in
those times settled instead of
nomad population, and travellers once
must have been rather frequent, for in
one place many drawings of persons,
animals and tribal marks are scratched
upon the rocks. Some Of the figures
evidently are much older than others,
but as whole they recall to memory
the Sinaitic inscriptions which some
forty years ago were believed to be
memories Of the wanderings OF the
lsraelites.

Huntsville, January 1S.-(Special)- Madison and Marshall County bridge over the Paint Rock River at New Hope was destroyed by an incendiary fire Wednes- day night One arrest has been made in the and several more are expectd to follow in the next few days.
 For several months past a number of land owners along the Paint Rock River have contended that the river is naviga- ble above the bridge and Maj. Dan C.. Kingman, United States engineer is of the same opinion. The matter was taken be- fore the commissioners courts of both counties and joint meeting of the two bodies was to have been held at an early date, at which time it was to be decided whether or not to remove the bridge. It is said that immediately after the burning of the bridge tug boat went up the river and hauled down several 1atboats loaded with tan bark and timber The county authorities intend to vigorously prosecute all persons who are in any way connected with the matter.

A GREAT ORANGE CROP.
California in the Lead at Last, and
 Arizona a Foctor.

 From the New York Evening Post
 California supplies most of our oranges, at last ,as she said she would when she be- gan to grow them. The present crop is es- timated to be the biggest on record, out ranking the famous Florida crop the year before the great frost. California is send ing third more oranges than last year into New York. Sixty-seven car loads have been unpacked during the past week and ninety-nine during Christmas week, or twice as many as last year at the same time
 Arizona, which appeared last year for the frs ttime as a producer on large scale, has sent thirteen car loads of a very nice, sweet fruit into New York already this season. Her irrigated lands produce oranges as good the best California na- vels, and larger, too. Florida has sent more oranges North this year than any year since the big freeze ;already 600, GOO boxes are here. This city used to get half a million boxes a year from the Mediter- ranean, but comparatively few thousand are all that are now consumed. Jamaica oranges are sweet and plentiful.

SENATE NOW HAS
 LESS CONFIDENCE
London Cables Have Been Dis couraging Regarding the
 Treaty Amendments

Washington, January 1S.-(Special.) )- There Is now less confidence that Great Britain will accept the Hay-Pauncefote treaty as amended. The London cables have been rather discouraging to the gov- ernment. That would seem to mean that the Nicaraguan canal bill has no chance of passing this session. because definite in- formation as to Great Britain's decision cannot be secured in time for action But neither Congress nor the administration wi Il be content to have the treaty amend ed so as to gratffy Great Britain and at the next session not only will steps be taken to absolutely abrogate the Clayton Bulwer treaty, but a bill providing for the Nicaraguan canals construction will be put through speedily. Senator Morgan, chairman of the committee on inter-oceanic canals still believes the bill will be passed this session and is planning and working to that end, regardless of Great Britains at titude on the treaty.
