No Judgment Can Lie Against . Homestead.


Two years ago the Mccormick harvest
er company secured judgment against
w. II. Golden OF San Miguel county on
debt contracted in 1892 and levied on
his ranch. He had entered this ranch
as homestead in 1893, more than six
years after contracting the debt on
which Judgment was obtained Under
the law anyone receiving government
homestead patent takes it clear and free
from any liability for any debt incurred
before the issuing of the patent. The
Mccormick company was notified that
the land was government homestead and
could not be sold for judgment, but not
wthstanding they went ahead and ad-
vertised the property for sale. Golden
secured an injunction which was made
permanent and stopped the sale and was
given judgment for s14650 damages.

a Russian Telephone.

A Russian scientist has invented a
telephone far superior to anything
hitherto used. With it a man may talk
to more than one of his friends at a
time, provided they are all in the same
room, for it is not necessary to stand
near the receiver in order to hear the
sound. The voice issues from a metal
lie funnel, and may be heard at some
distance. The new telephone has other
advantages. Sounds transmitted
through it lose very little of their in
tensity by reason of distance. In ex.
periments made between Moscow and
Rostof, a distance of $40 miles, speech,
songs and music could be clearly heard.
A large number of official people were
present at the experiments, and the Off
cial report was full of praise of the
new telephone.-Paris L~'Electricien.

Secret Drawers.

1t is o alone in the stories that the
secret drawers, hiding places in furni-
ture and private packages underneath
houses are to be found nowadays. They
are to be found also in modern New
York. According to a cabinetmaker,
orders are frequently received by him
for pieces of furniture made with hid
den receptacles. He keeps n design
er, in fact, whose special work consists
in contriving false bottoms and secret
drawers for desks, chairs and tables.
"Rich women" he declared recently,
"are the most frequent customers for
this sort of work, and | have no doubt it
is because they cannot trust their serv-
ants, or that, if honest, the servants
seem too curious about their mistress
affairs" Interesting condolences have
come to his notice of the sudden failure
in business of the husband of some
woman who had just received from his
shop an ingenious cabinet. The cab
inetmaker has no doubt that valuable
securities were hidden therein from the
creditors.-N. Y. Press.

SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
Secretary Longs Prejudiced Course
in the Schiey Case should
BE Shown UD.

Now that changes have begun in
the cabinet, it will not be long before
the secretary of the navy, who is in
some degree responsible for the
prosecution of the contemplate con
spiracy against Admiral Schley, will
be stepping down and out, says the
Chicago Chronicle.
Mr.. Long has announced more than
once since he made haste to approve
the findings of the packed court of
inquiry that the case is closed. If
he can keep it 'closed" he will be
ready pretty soon to hand in his
resignation.
Not with any idea of retaining this
gentleman in public life, where he
has not particularly distinguished
himself, except as a tool in the hands
of a self-seeking clique, but for the
purpose of giving him the sort of
send-off that he richly deserves, con-
gress should lose no time in ordering
an investigation of his official career
with the idea of instituting impeach-
ment proceedings against him.
Public opinion was strong enough
to drive Russell A. Alger from the
cabinet as a result of scandals for
which it is probab BILE he was much less
responsible than John d. Long has
shown himself to be for the shameful
conditions which prevail in the navy.
1t would be a deplorable miscar-
rage of justice if this person should
be permitted by the only power
which is able to reach him adequate
ly, to retire from the Office which he
has disgraced with the usual tlatter-
ing letters of approval to round out
the lying history of the department
which he has done his share to sup
port and vindicate.
If ever a cabinet officer deserved an
investigation Mr.. Long is entitled to
that distinction. 1t is probable also
that he deserves impeachment.

Catarrh has already become a ma
tional curse. Its ravages extend from
ocean to ocean.
More than one-half of the people are
affected by it. 1t has become such a
serious matter that it has passed the
boundaries of the medical profession
and become a national question. Sen
ators are talking about it; Congress
men are discussing it.
They are not only considering the

lamity.

SHIP SUBSIDY GRAB.
Revised Measure No Improvement OF
the First One Which Favored
Private Interests.

Opposition to Senator Frye's new
ship-subsidy bill, which is shortly tc
demand the attention of the senate,
with powerful influences urging favor
able action, is justified on precisely
the same grounds which made impos-
sible the passage of the original meas.
ure during the preceding session OF
congress, says the st. Louis Republic,
Notwithstanding the crafty argu-
ments to the contrary advanced by the
present supporters of the bill, there has
been no abandonment of the evil fea-
lures contained in the subsidy PROPOSE
ton as first introduced in the senate.
The ingenuity of the trainers has been
severely taxed to formulate a new
measure which shall furnish an ex-
cuse for demanding a support original
ly denied while making no concessions
Justifying such support, and the sue
cess achieved in this direction has not
been such, as to encourage the sub.
sidy bills friends. Certainly the meas
ure now awaiting action should not
win to its support any senator who was
unwilling to support its predecessor.
Mr.. John De Witt Warner, of the
New York Reform club, most forcefully
represents the established public sem
timent of this country in summing up
anew the reasons why the present ship
subsidy bill should be defeated. The
new bill is, like the old, a revival Of the
earlier maii-subsidy grab, There is
no promise of a faster mail service in
its operation. The measure proposes,
to the contrary, increased pay for a
slower service. The very ships which
would get most of the subsidy, Mr..
Warner points out, are large employ
ers of Chinese and other foreign labor.
The interests to be most heavily and
directly subsidized by the bills opera.
tions are the Standard Oil company,
the international Navigation company,
the New York and Cuba Mail company,
the Pacific Mail company and the
American Mail company, the very same
corporations which were behind the
old measure. The new bill, Mr.. War.

There is little hope, however, that
the interests of the American people
will be protected by the vote on the
ship-subsidy bill when hat measure
comes to a test in the present con-
gress. The republican party lash will
be vigorously welded in behalf of the
new subsidy grab. The full strength
of the Hanna syndicate behind the bill
is being put forth to compel passage.
The present congress is amenable to
such influence. Nevertheless, the peo-
PIE should continue to protest against
the proposed grab. They will be the
sufferers by the operation of the ship.
subsidy bill, and they will suffer to
the extent of many millions of. dollars.
The issue should be made so plain that
the passage of the bill will appear
clearly as a distinct defiance of the
American people by the representa-
tives of a party which has surrendered
utterly to monopoly dictation.

When a wasp catches a fly it imme
diately bites off both wings, sometimes
Il leg or two, and occasionally the head.
Mr.. Darlington saw some of the wasps
when laden with one fly catch another,
without letting go the first, and then
fly away with both. There was a con
slant stream of wasps carrying away
flies, probably to feed the larvae in their
nests, and returning again to the cows
to catch more. In about 20 minutes
Mr.. Darlington estimated that between
800 and 400 flies were caught on two
cows lying close to where he stood.
Perhaps this narrative of good deeds
accomplished will lead people to think
more leniently of the vices of the wasp.
