News Notes From the Capital

The Sampson-Schley controver-
sy is the only thing in Washington
at present which can even by cour-
tesy be termed exciting and even
here the excitement is largely that
Of anticipation and conjecture. Both
sides are kept reasonably busy in
contradicting wildly flying rumors.
1t was reported last week that sew
eral important dispatches having a
bearing on the history of the battle
of Santiago, which ought to have
been on file in the War Depart
ment, e missing; and there were
people who began to talk about the
possibility OF another Dreyius case.
The most important of these dis
patches was one from Col. Allen,
sent from Key West, May Io,1SoS,
announcing that Ceryera's fleet wa:
at Santiago. This telegram was
found not 10 be in the regular files
of the signal corps, and was not on
view to one of Admiral Sehley',
representatives who went to look
for it.. On the basis OF this tele-
gram Admiral Schley's counsel
hoped to prove that Admiral Samp.
son, having received positive in,
formation that Cervera's feet wa,
at Santiago, fSiled to take advan,
tage of the news, and stayed with
his fleet at Key West until the goth.
Obviously, therefore, the nou-ap
p~earance Of the telegram was both
surprising and troublesome.

nounced that all the secret dispatehe.

agents during the late war had beer

Mob law should not be tolerated
and the recent affair At Pierce City
is a disgrace to the state for which
there seems 10 be no excuse. The
negro is Of all men the most de-
..fenselcss. Punishment for crime
committed by him is as sure
as detection. The people gwho
are nov sewing the wind will
reap the whirl wind. The brutal.
ity Of both white and black is the
result Of three hundred years Of
the most brutslizing slavery that
ever cursed a nation or a people.
II is the legitimate outgrowth Of
cause and effect. Another cause
OF mob violence is the unnecessary
delay and expense IN the trial and
punishment of self-confessed Grim
mails. Has anyone heard Of the
trial Of the mar who shot the
young lady on the streets Of Kan
sas City, or of the man who muir
dered the stranger near Mulberry
in this county or the man who
killed his neighbor in his harvest
field with a club, near Metz? Such
delays as these are unreasonable
and expensive to the people. Let
it be understood that a murderer
or a thief when arrested is to be
tried, aud If found guilty, punish.
ed within ninety or one hundred
days after the crime is committed
and we have faith to believe tina
this generation will witness the
passing OF the mob spirit as surel'
as the fight of time. The mol
thinks what is the use of spending
from $500 to $1,000 and from on
to FIVE years time to try and pun
ish a criminal that e~verybod
knows is guilty when it can b
done for the price OF al eight foo
rope and a new door to the prise
cell. Will the lawyers and tn
courts ever see this point.

Some farmers farm as their faith
ers did. If their fathers were men
Of advanced ideas and up-to-daters,
there is some excuse for following
the precepts laid down. There has
been a wonderful advancement in
farming in the past decade or uwo.
One cannot help admiring a farm
that has well kept fields Of several
kinds of crops, a barn filed with all
that is needful, a house made and
fashioned for the comfort OF those
who occupy it, improved machinery
and we1l-bred cattle on every hand.
One is led to wonder, as he passes
by a farm with a ramshackle house,
bars instead of gates, implements
in the field, the old fashioned well
sweep instead of a windmill, why
such men can live in this age. The
thought goes out that he has jus.
awakened from a "Trip Var
Winkle'' sleep, and is satisfied with
his portion OF life's blessings.

The ice habit is making rapid prog
ress in Great Britain, says Marshall
Halstead, United States consul at Bir-

clamor for ice in hotels and public
places by the thousands of travelling
Americans. Not very long ago the
attendants of public places in England
where nearly everything except ice
was provided, would be insulted IL
one complained because Ice could not
be had. Today all first class places
have a few small Jumps swimming in

and even in second class public houses
they apologize for not having it.

About Slate Pencils.

Slate pencils were formerly all cut
from slate just as it is dug from the
earth Pencils SO made were objected
to on account of the grit which they
contained. To overcome this difficulty
a scientific man devised an ingeniuos
process by which the slate Is ground
to very fine powder, all grit and for
eign substances removed, and the pow
der bolted through silk much in the
same manner as flour is bolted. The
powder is then made into dough and
this dough is subjected to a heavy by
draulic pressure, which presses the
pencils out in the required shape and
diameter, but in lengths of about
three feet. While yet soft the pencils
are cut into the desired lengths and
set out to dry in the open air. After
they are thoroughly dry the pencils
are placed in steam baking kilns.
where they receive the proper temper.
