The Governor did a good thing
when he abolished martial law
in Shoshone county. The proc
lamation became effective i'm
mediately on the Governor at
taching his signature thereto.
Martial law was declared by Ex-
Governor Steunenberg on May
4th, 1899. and was abolished by
Governor Hunt, April 18th, 1901.
The proclamation says in part:
..Since the inauguration of
martial law in Shoshone county
order was maintained wholly by
the civil authorities. 1t has not
been necessary to use the federal
troops though they have been in
readiness at all times to support
the state. The courts have been
in the unrestricted operation of
their functions and the civil Off
GERS have remained in the full
performance of their duties at
all times.

Would 1t Pay =?

The New York World is still harp
ing on the old free-trade string-viz.,
that, If we want foreign nations to buy
from us, we must buy from them; that,
in other words, We ought, in order to
retain our foreign trade, to throw open
the American market to foreign manu-
facturers. Without bothering, for the
time being, to discuss the merits of the
question exhaustively, we would like
to ask the World II it would not be just
as we'll not to get so excited about the
matter until foreign nations begin to
show at least some little evidence that
they are about to withdraw their trade
from us. Just at present there are no
signs which seem to point to that
course of action on their part. Our
foreign trade is not falling off alarm
ingly. On the contrary, it is still on
the increase. When it begins to de-
cline. it will be time enough to take
up the question as to whether it will
pay us to exchange for our foreign
market the market worth fifty times as
much which we have at home.

Champ clark Named HIm.ei.

Champ Clark, the genial congress
man and writer of Missouri, had the
novel distinction of naming himself
and of choosing an unusual name at
that. In his infancy his parents chris
tened him James Beauchamp Clark;
but Clark was a common surname in
his part of the country, and James
even commoner, so, as he cherished
dreams of future glory. he knocked of
the James Beau and became Champ
Clark-easy to pronounce and easy to
remember and distinctive in sound. He
was admitted to the bar as Champ,
married as Champ and elected as
Champ. But every little while some
body who remembers him in early life
and is careful Of the proprieties, re-
suscitates the Beauchamp or James
Beauchamp, and the air turns blue.

The state census of Maryland gives
the population of>that state as 1,17S.-
700. a decrease Of 1880 from the fig
ures of 1,19O,O5O returned by the Fed
eral census. It increases the popula-
ton of Baltimore and decreases the
population Of the state outside that
city. In some Of the counties Of Mary
land, errors in the taking Of the Fed
eral census Of a year ago have been
proved, and some of the enumerators
responsible for them are now, after
trial and conviction, under sentence.

PETRiFAcTIoN A FAKE.
Scientist who Claim. Real Case Has
Never Isen Found.


Prof. w. }. Mcgee OF the Ethnologi-
cal Bureau at Washington, Is author
ity for the statement that no such
thing as human petrifactioa has ever
been discovered. He does not claim
that 1t cannot exist, but simply states
that all cases OF petrified human be-
ingJ up to the present time are moth
ing more or less than fakes.
Recently n letter forwarded to the
bureau stated that the head OF man,
reported to b. petrified, had been dis
covered somewhere in the wilds OF
New Jersey. Later came the mystic
rious head, and convocation of learn
ed scientists gravely held council over
it. They were disappointed. The head
turned out to be limestone boulder.
curiously fashioned, 1t is true. into
features very like human beings, but
a limestone boulder nevertheless.
Another case which at the time
looked as though it would explode all
of the old theories and prove to be the
real things, was that of body of
woman, which a company had been
exhibiting throughout the West as the
only petrified woman. She excited
much attention and the notice of the
scientists at the chronological Bureau
was drawn to the case. THE only
petrified woman" was forwarded to
Washington and an investigation was
held. The scene of the inquest was
a gruesome affair. 1t was late ON
winter afternoon, and one gas jet was
lit. The body was laid out in the
center of the room in its frame coffin,
and Prof. MCGEE, with much gravity,
proceeded to conduct the services.
They consisted of taking from his
pockets several little instruments and
of boring few inches into the foot.
To the amazement Of every onlooker, a
small section of gas pipe was struck
This ended the inquest Mrs. Stones
reputation as a professional was for
ever spoiled, and she no longer went
galavanting around the country pos
ing as "the one and only petrified
woman ever discovered in the history
Of the world"
There Is factory in California
which manufactures petrified human
beings by the wholesale. They cause
them to be buried in different parts OF
the country, then unearthed and sold
for exhibition purposes. Every kind
of a petrified human being, men, wom-
en- and children, Indians, giants, and
wnat-not, has been unearthed in re-
mote parts of the United States, and
their finding has resulted in big SEN
sation for the immediate locality, ana
gold mine for the fellow who took
it up for exhibition purposes More
frauds have been perpetrated IN this
way than even in the dime museums
The bureau has suppressed more OF
these frauds within recent years than
it has stopped to count, and there is
not year without its good sensation
in that Office itself.
