Drinking from a Skull.

The parish minister of TorriGon, in
the northern county of Ross. Scotland,
has just discovered that shocking
pagan rites" are being followed in the
neighb0rhoOd OF the town
Many years ago a woman committed
suicide by drowning herself in the
BaigIe River near Torridon. The in
habitants refused to consent to the
body being buried ia the Annat church
yard on the plea that if the body was
buried in view of Loeb Tor-idon the
fish would forsake the waters. The re-
mains We're consequently inferred in
unconsecrated ground about 100 yards
from the cemetery. and there they now
lie
What this woman's grave has to do
with pagan rites" has still to be told,
however. There is a local belief that
epileptics win be cured of their trouble
by drinking water from certain pool
out of the skull of a suicide. Such a
skull has been kept hidden for many
years under the surface soil of this
grave, but whether il is the skull of
the woman herself is not clear. Those
sufferiag from epilepsy go to the grave
in the dead of night. unearth the mold
lng skull and drink ont of it water of
the pool already mentioned

POCKET THE PERQUISITE.
TENDERS of Congress Make a Good
Thing Out of Stationery Allowance.

Members of Congress Make a Good
Thing Out of Stationery Allowance.
When it was decided some years ago
to allow each member of the house the
the sum of S125 a year for stationery
it was supposed that the amount
would be expended for tt at purpose.
The fact is, however, that I very large
number OF congressman use the COM
mittee stationery, which is supplied by
the government, and pocket the S125
as an addition to their salary. The re-
port of the clerk of the house, gives the
names of the members who accept the
money each year and their number
shows that the custom is increasing.
The custom is confined to no section.
Some of the best known men in the
house pocket the money. The men,
bers who use only 81 or 81 worth of
stationery are also very numerous.
They draw nearly the entire allowance
in cash, adding the amount to their
salary. The comparatively small
amount of stationery used and the
very large proportion of cash paid out
has led to some suggestion of the aboli-
ton of the stationery privilege, but it
is not at all likely that such PROPOSE
ton will be adopted.
Quite number of members find the
appropriation of 81 200 to each congress-
man for a clerk to be very acceptable
as another addition to the salary of
5000 q year. They are not compelled
70 make public record of the name of
the clerk but it is known that many
OF the wives. daughters or sons of the
members do duty as clerks, in order
that the money shall not escape from
the family treasury.

companied a President on sightseeing
journey of the United States. When
President Cleveland made his famous
wedding trip fifteen years ago his train
was composed of but two cars and his
suite consisted of his private secretary
and some servants. His immediate pred
ecessor, President Arthur, visited the
Yellowstone with Gen. Phil Sheridan and
Col. Mike Sheridan and Buffalo Bill,
but left his cabinet behind him in Wash
ington to transact official business.
President Mckinley will travel across
the continent surrounded by his entire
cabinet, with the single exception of Sec
rotary Gage, who has consented to re-
main in Washington. 1t is proposed to
transact important business while en-
route. The cabinet officers will keep in
close touch with the heads of bureaus of
the respective departments. The Presi-
dent will transact all of the vast routine
which the chief executive must look after
while in Washington. A corps of expert
telegraph operators, representing the two
big telegraph companies, will accompany
the train to handle official messages, and
every telegraph station along the lines
of the railroads which are to be traversed
Will be subject to their orders to the ex-
clusion Of all commercial and newspaper
business. Cabinet meetings are to be held
on Tuesdays and Fridays, just as they
are now held in Washington, whether the
train is speeding across the deserts of
Arizona or is sidetracked in the railroad

IeaInns of Funston.

About the only persons who appear
to object to the appointment of Fun
ston to be a brigadier general are the
members of the bureaucracy at Wash
ington. The objections which those
persons urge are childish and their
animus is plainly that of jealousy. The
fact that he is not a West-Pointer is
what sticks in their craw. They urge
that he did not go about the business
of capturing Aguinaldo in a scientific
military spirit. The methods he used,
these persons say, are not those to be
found in Jominis art of War" or Up
toms Tactics" We do not believe
they were Funston disregarded a
good many things in accomplishing the
capture of the head of the Filipino in
surgents. Among those things of
which he took no account were danger
and red tape. He went about the task
in the most unscientific manner and he
deserves a court-martial No doubt
this is what he would get if some of
the carpet soldiers had their way

pills did not have the desired effect, Pat
rick gave him the acid, which he admin
stcred to the millionaire Then, at Pat
ricks order, he placed a sponge and
towel saturated with chloroform over the
old mans face. Jones said he left
towel saturated with the drug over the
old mans head for thirty minutes.
The confession was the climax of re-
markable recital, in which was laid bare
the details of an alleged subtle conspiracy
which had for its object the seizure of
$3,000,000 in cash and negotiable securi-
ties and the conversion Of $3000.000 in
realty to the uses OF the alleged chief
conspirator
The self-confessed murderer told tho
story of the alleged plot from its incep-
ton. The capital crime he committed,
and all the minor 0ffenses that preceded
it. were, he declared, at the instigation
and direction of Albert Il. Patrick. 1t
was Patrick, he said, who conceived the
idea of forging will and forging trans
fers and conveyances. 1t was Patrick
who induced two persons to witness the
forged signature. 1t was Patrick who
determined that Rice should die, and it
was Patrick who sought to have him
killed slowly, and then, becoming impa-
tient, determined upon quick action.

INCREASED ouTGo PERMANENT.

The internal revenue receipts OF the
general government for February We're
S1,SJO,771 greater than for the same
month last year For the first two
thirds of the current fiscal year the re-
ceipts from this source were over S203,-
100000, indicating a total for the year
Of about S304 100000.
The indications are that the customs
receipts will reach S240,000,00O this
fiscal year and the receipts from mis-
.cellaneous sources 33.O00,00o. This
would give a total income of $751;
100000 for the year from all sources,
an increase of about 100000 over
last year.
Had no change been made in the
war" revenue law we might perhaps,
have looked for a like increase the COM
ing year and a total revenue of $751;
100000, though treasury officials some
time ago gave warning that the ex-
IRENE limit of customs receipts under
the existing law had been reached.
But Congress reduced the war taxes
last session, cutting off revenue to the
estimated amount of $40,O00,O00. The
total income to the treasury next year,
therefore, is not likely to exceed $541,
100000. Congress, however, appropri-
ated much more than that, nOtwith-
standing the failure of the river and
harbor and ship subsidy grabs and the
postponement of OUTLAWS on account of
the transisthmian canal.
There would be tirst-rate prospect
for a deficit, therefore, but for the
chance that it may not be necessary
to spend all the money voted. The ad-
ministration is much elated just now
over Funston's latest exploit and is
hoping that an army OF minimum
strength will suffice. If its hopes are
realized there may be saving of S40,-
O00,0OO in the military expenses. But
we can tell better about that by and by.
Be that as it may, there will be no
money to spare. More money is likely
to be wanted when the next Congress
takes care of rivers and harbors and
begins to spend money on the tran
sisthmian canal The army is more
than doubled at the leass, and that per-
manently. The same and more is sub
stantially true of the navy.
There is not going to be any return
to the scale of expenditures to which
we were accustomed and which we re-
garded as extrayagant before the war
with Spain. We have never yet had a
war without a great permanent in
crease in expenditure. No exception to
the rule is in sight. But we shall get
used to it.-Chicago Chronicle.

Sad Cbanre in Three Years.

What a transformation scene three
short years have brought about! Three
years ago how we did execrate the
cruel Spaniards for their tyranny and
oppression and especially with what
consuming wrath did we denounce the
reconcentrado policy of Butcher Wey-
ler' for the subjugation of the Cubans
the policy of which President Nc
Kinley said: 1T is not civilized war
fare; it is determination" And now,
o irony of irones, what do we see?
Why, we see this same reconcentrado
system applied in one of the Philippine
islands by the government which de-
nounced it.-Portland (Maine) Argus.

WHAT DISTINGUISHES a pemo crat.

There are but few cases in which the
two great parties occupy contradictory
positions about the objects to be ac-
complished. In those cases the Demo
crat is always for the less authority,
the stricter construction of the law, the
greater liberty of the individual, for
influence and time as against force. 1t
is a method Of thought, philosophy of
life, which distinguishes a Democrat
from all others A Democrat believes
in himself and will not call on the gov
eminent until his individual power is
exhausted A paternalist goes to the
government at once. There you have
it.-Milwaukee Journal.

and came out at the end of the day con-
fident that he would win in the end. Now
he predicts 60-cent corn by the end OF
the month instead OF 50-cent corn, of
which he has talked before. Mr.. Phillips
made a reputation for brilliant, skillful
campaigner when he brought his Novem-
Der corn deal TO a successful close.
Phillips is as remarkable a figure in the
speculative world to-day as "0ld Hutch"
was a few years ago. and is fully as pow
erful He is not vet b years old, but
his keenness and foresight and his cour-
age have made him a giant in trade cir

Phillips, who has been dealing on the
Board of Trade since 1892, made up his
mind last summer that he would get
fortune out of corn. He proposed to cor
ner all there was in sight. IIe made
study of crop conditions and conducted
operations which gave him control of the
entire November supply. He forced the
price up - cents bushel in four weeks.
