shout Breaks a CLASS.

Every one knows that windows Will
rattle when loud noise Is made in a
room, but very few persons know that
a glass can be broken by shouting into
1t.
Any ordinary glass which has clear
tone will do for this trick, and the eX-
act nature of its tone can readily be
ascertained by passing moistened
finger around Its rim. This point be-
ing settled, the performer should hold
the glass in front Of his mouth and
shout into it In tone about an octave
higher than that of the glass. The re-
suit will be that the glass will break
Immediately, and for the reason that
1t will not have strength enough to re-
sist the force exerted against it by the
waves of air.
The thinner the glass is the more
easily it will be broken.

Tax payers should not forget that
the outstanding obligations of Sulli-
van County on the 1st, of Jan. 1902,
according to the Auditors report,
amounted to $63. .533.4S as follows:
Bonds, 3S.OOO.O0, interest bearing
orders, $50. 052, 80, judgements, $5.
$50, 40, total, $63.433,39.
The report shows due to the coun-
ty from various sources the sum OF
$l.33S,35, which if collected and ap-
piled to the debt would reduce the
debt to $59.O95,13. How much of
the debt has been paid during the
year we do not know, but the judg-
ment docket shows judgment has
been confessed against the county as
follows: Patrick Daily VS.. the Coun-
ty of Sullivan, No. 96 Sept. Il. 1902.
Judgment interest, Aug. %, 1902,
for $1,000.
We presume this was for borrow
ed money. We do not understand
that the Commissioners who incurred
this Indebtedness, at or before of so
doing, provided for the collection OF
an annual tax sufficient to pay the
interest, and also the principal there
of within thirty years, as required
by sixth section of the ninth sarticle
of the Constitution. They;;will have
an opportunity to explain this tran
sacion to the County Auditors.

The Heat Of Lava.

The lava streams from the eruption
of Vesuvius in 1858 We're so hot twelve
years later that steam issued from
their cracks and crevices. Those that
flowed from Etna IN 1877 were found
to be steaming hot Just below the crust
as late as 1910. The volcano Jorullo.
in Mexico, poured forth in 1859 lava
that eighty-seven years later gave off
columns of steaming vapor. In 1870 it
was found that stick thrust into the
crevices instantly ignited, although no
discomfort was experienced in walking
on the hardened crust.

manhood and liberty. In a word,
you, my fellow countrymen of Texas
believe and you have a right to be-

fought in the confederate army and
remained loyal to its memories, as
we'll as loyal to the republic, is a
prince in his own right and by his

every gray cap that ever sheltered
the head of a faithful confederate
private, is a nobler crown than that
worn by any potentate on earth.

these soldiers to this great state and

OF Archbishop Corrigan lying state
that the police became unable to
handle them. Probably $4,000 per-

door to the interior where some
5000 Others were endeavoring to
view the body of the dead Archbishop.
Inspector Thompson was on hand
in person with 25policeman and at
4 o'clock he sent for 100reserves. At
that time traffic was at a standstill
for blocks along Fifth avenue, and
within the body of the cathedral
and out in the street women were be-
ing hustled and were fainting by the
score. Up tod o'clock the detectives
who were stationed in the cathedral
had carried out into the street more
than a score of women who had been
overcome within the building alone.
All day long crowds of persons kept
filing in and out of st. Patrick's.
Many waited patiently in line fol-
hours, with the expectation OF being
allowed to look upon the face Of the
dead prelate.

STATEHOOD BILL
PASS IS THE HOUSE
After Spirited Debate Members Vote Il
Admit the Three Territories
Separately.

Washington, May 9.-The bill to
admit Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma to statehood was passed
in the house at . O'Clock this after
HeeH t BY viva -reee- pete without
division.
The debate leading up to the pas
sage OF the bill was quite spirited.
Mr.. Overstreet, Republican, OF In
diana, made speech on his amend
ment consolidating Arizona and New
Mexico, Ball, Dem. of Texas, opposed
the amendment as contrary to both
Republican and Democraticpromises.
Mr.. Lacey, Republican, OF Iowa,
argued that the two united would be
u bright star to add to the flag, but
as separate states would be little
boroughs where capital would COLI
troll. Mr.. Rodey, of New Mexico, said
New Mexico did not wish to be ed
to Arizona, and Smith, OF Arizona,
said the purport of the amendment
was to defeat the bill.
The amendment was lost, LOG to
%. Many Republicans failed to vote.
Another amendment prohibiting
polygamy or plural marriages in the
three proposed states was adopted.
When Delegate Mark Smith, OF
Arizona, finished his speech in OPP
position to admitting New Mexico
and Arizona to the union as one
state, he suddenly put his hand to
his head and staggered out. DR..
Wilson, a member from Brooklyn,
followed him and gave him imme-
date attention, luckily averting a
stroke of paralysis. Mr.. Smith re-
covered rapidly.

MOCK MARRIAGES ARE BINDING
Over 100 Wealthy Jewish Couples As
founded to Learn That They Are
Really Welded.

Yonkers, N. Y, MayS.-More than
one hundred couplesfrom among the
wealthiest Jewish families of this city
and New York may have to ask the
courts for divorces so as to undo
the work OF joke.
In the meantime, thoughts OF nav
ing committed bigamy are driving
some OF them to melancholy.
1t all happened at the Purim ball
recently. Somebody suggested that
each man select partner and go
through a mock marriage.
The suggestion pleased many
young persons and fully 200, many
OF them said to have been already
married, went through the Jewish
marriage ceremony, including the
placing Of ring on the finger of the
bride.
Several days later, New York
rabbi informed several of the young
persons that every one of the mar
riages was valid. Amarriage License
is not required in New York.
The joke then ceased to be a joke.
Several other rabbis were consulted,
and every one of them pronounced
the marriages valid because the
Knockers had not only used rings,
but had so faithfully repeated mar
riage pledges that the ceremony met
all the requirements of the Jewish re-
ligion.
1t is said that fully three,fourths
OF the young persons concerned will
apply to the courts to have the mar
riages annulled and the remainder
will abide by the result. A majority
of those thus married are residents
of this city, and the rests are residents
of New York, Brooklyn and nearby
cities.

who is believed to possess a power of
divination, has made "a statement
concerning the disappearance OF c.
B. Davis, a prominent citizen of Orc
nogo, Mo-, a mining town near this
city, who left home two years ago
and has not been seen or heard OF
since.
He has told the wife OF Davis that
the missing man was killed and
thrown in a shaft on the Smith and
Potter mining land near this city, by
gambler OF Webb City. So accurate
was the boys description of the miss
ing man-that tine wife is positive she
will find the remains OF her husband.
The boy gave an accurate descrip-
ton OF his clothing and the watch he
wore, although he had never seen
Davis in his life What he told Mrs.
Davis is so corroborated by what is
known to be the truth, that she II
convinced her husband has been MUIR

the shaft, which is about ninety feet
deep, drained Immediately, 1t is
now flooded with water but pumps
have been ordered and work will be-

that were past saving, but the plant
that had life and a fair degree ol

it will make fair crop. The corn

Political Fakirs.
St. Louis Republic.

OF. LOUIS ht puohc.
Republicans in the Missouri coun-
ties are being led into a ridiculous
attitude by their party managers.
They are unconsciously raising issues
from which they will flee as from a
plague before the close of this years
campaign.
A case directly in point is the reso-
luton of the Cape Girardeau county
republicans denouncing the demo-
cratic state administration for 1.-The
unequal and unjust taxation placed
upon the farmers of our county,
when the corporations are allowed
to practically escape"
If there is any one subject
above all Others which Missouri re-
publicans have cause to evade it is
that Of taxation.
Let the Cape Grardeau republi-
cans examine the records left by
their own party, They will find
that the farmers and individual prop
erty owners were required to bear all
the burdens of an excessive tax rate
while their party had control in the
state.
They will find that during 1 he six six
years of republican rule the railroads
of Missouri, which democrats have
assessed at more than eighty millions
of dollars, were not required to pay
taxes at all.
They will find that the state de-
partments, which now annually pay
into the state treasury in special
taxes, fees and commissions more
than half a million of dollars, practi-
cally all of which comes from corpo-
rations, did not earn dollar for the
people during the six years when their
own party managed the affairs OF
the state; and they will find by exam
nation of their tax bills that the
democratic methods which they so
greatly deplore have reduced their
state tax more than 80 per cent.
Coming down to a more recent
date, they will find by examining the
records in st. Louis that republican
city officials assessed the street rail
ways at less than six millions OF dol
lars and that democratic state
officials increased this to more than
eighteen millions.
They will find by going beyond
their own statefor a comparison that
democratic Missouri assesses railroad
property at 4S per cent higher than
republican Illinois; 60 per cent high
er than republican Kansas and 40
per cent higher than republican Iowa.
They will find, too, that the republi-
can rule for which they are longing
imposes for stat, revenue purposes a
tax rate on general property more
than double as high in Iowa as is
levied in Missouri; more than three
times as high in Illinois, and more
than five times as high in Kansas.
The country republicans who are
adopting the machine made resolu
tions sent out from st. Louis will
realize later on what it is to have a
lot Of political takirs for party lead
ers.
