MINERAL LANDS.

A case has just been passed upon by
the supreme court of the United States
of ~far-reaching important to the peO-
pie of Wyoming. In 1886 Hon. Hoke
Smith, secretary of the interior, held
that excepted mineral lands within rail
road grants included only metallic min
erals.
The western country, however, was
not satisfied with this ruling and the
matter was brought again to the at
tention of the secretary Of the interior,
at that time, Cornelius N. Bliss. He
referred it to Assistant Attorney Gen.
that all mineral lands, whether contain
ing metallic substances or other min
erals were equally excepted from these
grants and remained public lands.
Since then this ruling has been uni
formly followed by the land depart
ment-
The railroad companies we're not
satisfied with this ruling, and they in
stituted litigation, contesting the right
Of mineral claimants who had located
marble, granite and other non-metallic
substances under the mining laws, and
on odd-numbered sections within the
limits Of those railroad land grants.
One Of these cases was recently
brought to the supreme court Of the
United States. The case arose in the
state Of Washington, and the particular
substance in question was a valuable
value.
AS the case was presented to the
supreme court, the Northern Pacific
Railroad company was on n side and
. mineral claimant named S~odergerger
was upon the other. 1t was readily
apparent that the case was of momen-
tous importance throughout the entire
western country, where railroad land
grants lie. For this cas- Assistant

Laumchimm of the West vfreinfa 10
 Re Followed by Others Soon. \ NEWPORT NEWS, Va, April 20.- The successful launching here on Sat- lnrday of the new 15,O0O ton armored cruiser West Virginia calls to mind the fact that i've other heavy war ships are in process of construction at various shipyards to complete the num- Der authorized by the Fifty-ff con gress. The West Virginia will be fol lowed the latter part of this month by the Colorado, a sister, building at Cramps shipyard at Philadelphia, and the latter will be followed in short or der by the Maryland, another sister, which is building here alongside of the West Virginia. The other three ar mored cruisers, the California, the South Dakota and the Nebraska. build Ing at other shipyards, are not so far advanced.
 Not since March A, 1898, has New port News entertained such a large concourse of people as was here to witness Saturdays event. On that oc- rasion the twin battle ships Rear sarge and Kentucky were launched at the shipyard within an hour of each other, Two governors, many sena- tors and congressman, as well as state legislators, a large party of naval off, cers and other government officials and large number of men prominent In state affairs from Virginia, West Virginia and elsewhere, were among the spectators.
 The sponsor for the West Virginia, the largest war ship put overheard for the United States government, was Miss Katharine Vaughan White, eldest daughter of Governor Albert B. White, chief executive of the Coal Mountain State

! TOTAL ABSTINENCE.
Was the Verdict of Science at the An-

: Was the Verdict of Science at the Ans
 ti-alpaAal Congress,
 NEW YORK, April 20.-Mrs. Mary Fl. Hunt of Boston, representing the Women's Christian Temperance union at the international antialcohol con- gress at Bremen, has sent the follow Ing communication regarding the work of the assembly, which closed its ninth session yesterday:
 ''The international antialcohol con- gress that meets biennially on the con- tinent has closed it's ninth session. 1t has been in the matter of attendance and well known persons present the most remarkable of any session of the congress. This body of 1 400 delegates, notable in science and in the service of humanity as university professors or for their hereditary rank, have come here from fifteen different nations on two hemispheres.
 Questions of religion and politics were wisely ruled out of such a varied assemblage. The subjects discussed were the teachings of science concern ing moderate use of alcohol and the effect of its use on every phase of hu- man progress. Two schools of thought were represented--the moderates, who call themselves the temperate school and the total abstainers. who are called the abstinence school, By common consent the congress passed no resolu- tions, but the applause for the tesH mony of science and experience on be half of total abstinence showed the moderates to be In the minority.
 tHThe statement Of Dr. August FoRal, one of the foremost authorities in the world on brain and nerve diseases, that neither scisnce nor experience Fur nishes evidence to justify calling aIco hol food called out prolonged accla- nations. The papers read by notable members of the congress during these six days will fill two or three volumes and soon will be printed for wide dis tribution." .
 Tn compliment to the United States Mrs. Hunt presided at Saturdays ses- sion of the congress. After the sight seeing excursions today the delegates to the congress will separate.

z wholesale oyster dealer was sig ing up new invoice the other day. "There are some old fellows in that lot" he said, as he showed to one side some eabnormally large ones. He picked out one and measured it. The shell was eight inches long. "The age of an oyster has absolutely no effect upon it's quality," he said. "It doesn't get tough with age, like the higher or der of animals. How long does an oys- ter live? We'll. I couldn't say exactly. l have known Maurice river oyster men to claim that an oyster undistnrbed in neglected cove would live for 25 years before it finally died of old age. And an oyster of the Maurice river type keeps on growing all the time. I have seen some myself that measured nearly a foot in length. Philadel- phia Record.

How a Snake Moves.

Now anyone who has looked at the skeleton of snake-and it is really 8 very beautiful obiect-will have been struck by the great number of ribs. which may be as many as 1,o50 pairs. In these lies the secret of the ability of the serpent to do some of these wonderful things. The lower end of each rib is connected with one of the broad scales that run along the under side of the snake, and when 8 rib is twisted slowly backward, 1t pushes on the scale, the edge of the scale catches on the ground or whatever object his snakeship may be resting on, and the body of the snake is pushed just little bit forward. Of course, each rib moves the body but a mere trifie; but. where the ribs are so many, and they are moved one after another, the result is that the snake moves slowly but steadily ahead.-St. Nicholas.

DEAD IN HIS CABIN
Colored Teamsters Mysterious Death s at Farmington

f'armington, April 2o.-The charred remains of Reuben Brown, a colored tealneter, 50 years of age, were found in his burned cabin late last night, and from evidence in the possession of the authorities it is believed that the man met his death at the hands af three Italian lahogers who have BOW disappeared and are being sought fer by the authorities. Three men who were in the cabin with Brown a short time before its death were Will lian Gallagher, John McFalls and Frank Risley, They state that they spent the evening with Brown play ing cards. About 10 o'clock three Italians entered the cabin to buy some cider from Brown. They became en- gagged in an argument and two of the Italians drew knives Gallagher, Mo Falls and Risley fled and what hap- pened after that is unknown, but the police believe that Brown was mur- dered by the Italians, who then burn- ed the cabin to cover up the crime

FIRE AT MILL PLAIN.
Old Reuter- Tannery Caught Sparks
 From Burning Barn.

From Burning Barn.
 There was big fire i'll Mill Plain on Saturday afternoon about 5 o'clock. In some mysterious manner the large barn which stood in the rear of the house in which Dr o. Art Ward used to have his sanitarium, caught on fire and in a short time it was 8 mass of flames. The flames shot high into the air and sparks from the burning timber flew in all directions. When almost the entire barn had been burn ed the spectators were mortified to see flames shooting up in the air from the old Reuter- tannery, which was about 1000 feet away from the barn. 1t was a four-story building and was burned to the ground. The loss caused by both fires is said to be about SS,- GOO. which is covered in part by in- surance. As stated before, the origin of the fires is unknown. It is said that sparks from the fire in the barn were blown onto the roof of the tam nery and that was how the second fire started. But it seems strange to many people that the sparks should fly by two houses between the barn and the tannery and not set them on fire. An engine and hose cart were sent from this city, but they were use- less owing to the lack of water.
