A postal fraud order has been Is
sued against the ex-slave pension
scheme, which has been worked so
vigorously in some parts of the South
since Senator Hanna introduced his
famous by request bill to pension
ex-slaves. This recalls the old saw

the horse had been stolen. Thousands
of ignorant blacks have been duped

Admiral Bowles is to receive $4,000 a
year from the private shipbuilding con-
Germ with which he is to be connected.
AS chief constructor of the navy his
salary was $500 year. In view of
the difference in wages paid in gov
eminent and private yards, isn't it bit
odd that it costs so much more to
build ship in a government yard2

A committee of the Oregon Legisla-

gress at it's extra session to pass an
appropriation of $780, 900 for the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, to be held in
1905. We are not yet off with one big
exposition before another is planned,
to ask government aid. And since
Congress has been so liberal in its
treatment Of other expositions, it is
not apparent how it is going to get
out of giving the oregonians what they
want. So many expositions are really
not needed, but it seems the people
are determined to have them.

DIR. Mazyck' Porcher Ravenel of
Philadelphia. formerly of Charleston,
is in favor of the states turning over
to physicians for experimental pur-
poses those felons who are condemned
to death. Instead of sending the
condemned to the gallows or the cleo
trical chair, they could, in the interest
of science, be inoculated with germs
of various diseases, and then the doc
tors could try on them the various
sorts of serums and other remedies
the understanding being that if the
subjects survived they should have
their lives. The condemned, he says,
would be glad to take chances, and
medical science and, therefore, human
ity, would be much benefited. DIR.
Rayenel Furthermore combats the COM
mon theory that dry sputum is an I'M
DERIVING cause of consumption, and
says that there is not one whit of evil
dence that it ever caused a single case
of consumption in mankind.

COMET GETTING CLOSE.
Lick Observatory Says 1t Is Only 2oo,-
100000 Miles Away Now.

Sal Jose, Cal, July 15.-Prof. ". w.
Campbell of the Lick observatory gives
out the following:
1.-THE comet discovered by Borelli at
Marseilles three weeks ago has been
under observation by various mem
bers of the Lick observatory staff. 1t
promises to be an unusually interesting
object.
Its brightness has increased very rap
idly until it is now as easily visible as
a fourth magnitude star. On Monday
evening observers should experience no
difficulty in detecting it about one or
two degrees southwest of the bright
star, Alpha Cygni. Its motion is car
rylng it southWestward about five de-
grees daily. The Orbit Of the comet has
been computed by Professor PetTine.
It is now in a parabola in such way
that its nearest approach to the sun
will occur on August 81 at a distance
of about 81, 000, 900 miles. Its present
distance from the sun is about 100,0 00,-
900 miles INC from the earth acout TO-
900. 600. To the unassisted eye the
comet will appear as a hazy patch of
light. The acute y should be able to
detect a short tail projecting away
from the sun. &
Our photos have recorded two prom
inent tails, each several degrees in
length. While it is always unsaf to
make predictions as to how bright a
comet will grow, vet there is little
doubt that this one will be a fairly
conspicuous object in the evening sky.
In fact, I expect it to be the brightest
comet of the past ten years."

Mrs. Winifred Sleep, of Denver, VINO
was in charge OF ST. Marks hospital
tent, seeing the catastrophe at the Dig
tent close by telephoned the electric
light plant company to shut off the cur
rent. This prevented any damage from
live wires that had fallen with the tent
poles.
A feature that showed the religious
nature of the participants was seen
when the majority were eXtricated
from the canvas folds. Led by an
eastern delegate all gathered around IN
the open air and an impromptu praise
service was held in theiopen air.
SquaII Struck Suddenly.
The convention was in full progress
at 4 o'clock, and although there were
signs Of rain n some wind was blow
ing, no trouble was anticipated by the
management. The sides Of the tent
were up to admit air and this enabled
the squall to lift the canvas as If it
were a balloon.
The gust of wind that turned the
tent over came 50 suddenly that no
preparation could be made to forestall
the consequences. The wind swept I'M
der the tent, the roof of which imne-
diately belched out like an immense
sail. The smaller guy ropes We're
pulled from their places and in a mo-
ment more the big poles We're drawn
from the ground.
Immediately the 5000 persons were in
a panic which was heightened by the
screams Of hundreds of women and
children. 1t was then that Mr.. Ramsey
sprang to a chain and called loudly on
the men to hold up the canvas and
catch the large supporting poles as
they fell. Hundreds of men sprang to
their feet and successfully carried out
the Chicago man'S suggestion, and thus
averted a calamity. AS the poles came
down more than 1000 people who had
been seated near the walls Of the tent
escaped. from the tent and they i'm
mediately forme~ themselves into a
rescue corps. Those who had tainted
n those suffering from slight injur-
les. were quickly removed to the hos
pital tent.
Among the injured are:

WILL TEST
Prof. Wiley's Next Experiment viii Be
on Tobacco Users,

Washington, July 15.-Prof. Wiley,
chemist Of the agricultural depart
ment, will conduct another experiment
this fall for determining the effect Of
tobacco, good, bad and Indifferent,
pure II IMPURE, domestic and import
ed, upon the heart, lungs and digestive
organs and human system generally.
Cigarette smokers, snu Clippers CT
gal smokers and devotees Of pipes Will
make up the new squad, which will
consist of eighteen men OF all ages.
Professor Wiley believes the expert
ments will not only be Of interest, but
will prove Of value to manufacturers
OF tobacco. During the first thirty days
the squad will not be permitted TO use
tobacco in any form. Thus all will be-
gin on the same basis.
After thirty days each mar will be
given an allowance Of tobacco each
day. What will be hnown as Smokers
squad will begin its work with three
cigars a day, n after each meal.
Gradually his will be increased. Cigars
Of every kind will be used, including
domestic, Porto Rican, Philippine, Gu
ban and other imported brands. This
plan has been adopted to determine the
relative h~armfulness OF each. After
sufficient data has been obtained rela-
tive to cigars the squad will be pro-
vided with pipes and smoking tobacco
and more data will be obtained.
hen the cigaret will be given IN in
ming. The 1nokers will be divided into
two squads, ''1nhalers" n "non-in-
halers," and the results of excessive
and moderate smoking noted. Still an
other squad will be provided with plugs
Of chewing tobacco and government
cuspfdors and instructed to chew as
much tobacco as possible. Shutters will
be given government snuff boxes and
the best brands of powdered weed, and
the effects Of the practice Of dipping"
will be tested to determine the effect
on the system.
One month prior to the date set for
the conclusion Of the experiments and
the disarmament of the tobacco users
the men will again be forbidden the
use of tobacco in any form n the re-
suits of this sudden stoppage be noted.
A large number of clerks Of the agri-
cultural department have offered their
services for h experiments.
