LAZINESS A GERM.

The scientific sharps of the country are wonder
ing whether DR.. Charles W. Stiles of Washington Is
real discoverer or a robust liar from away back.
The doctor, you know has discovered that lazlness
is a germ. He has even named the bug that gets
into the human systsm at times and makes strong
men into hobos and panhandlers.
If he is right and he says he is, all that is neces-
sary give this country impetus that will jolt 1t
centuries ahead is to~folow this bug (Which he
names uncinarasis) to it's lar and eradicate 1t
from the human system.
Watch your boy dress on cold morning like we
had last week. 1t takes thirty minutes to get him
out of bed unless you apply shinge, and when he
finally does get out he wants to eat breakfast clad III

After breakfast he hunts for his shoes and dawdes

SEEK TO COMPEL ASHES REMOVAL
Department Stores Ask for Mandamus
Against Commissioner Woodbury..

In the Supreme Court Chambers yesterday ap-
plication was made to Justice Leventritt for writ
of peremptory mandamus to compel Street Clean
ing Commissioner Woodbury. to remove ashes, gar
bage and street sweepings from in front OF the
stores of the complanants, the Adams Drygoods
Company Simpson-Crawford Company, James Nc
Creery & Co.. siegel-Cooper Company, Stern
Brothers B. Altman & Co, R. H Macy & Co.. Lord
& Taylor and Enrich Brothers.
Some time ago Commissioner Woodbury. informed
department store owners that he would be unable
to remove their ashes and garbage, because he did
not have enough money for the work Daniel P.
Hays counsel for the complainants, said the action
to compel the city to say whether it legally
responsible for the removal of garbage and ashes
under the law. The Commissioner says that he has
teen informed that the removal of garbage, ashes
and rubbish from private houses is more i'm
pcrtant than the removal of the same from the
big department stores, and acting on that advice
he proposes to devote the money given to him by
the city for that purpose. 1t is the contention Of
the compainants that garbage should be removed
from all sections of the city and that there should
be no discrimination.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
A Settlers Land Title Better Than That of
a Railroad

Washington, Jan. 26.-The United States Supreme
Court to-day rendered. through Justice Harlan an
opinion affecting the Northern Pacific Railroad
land grant. The case was that OF Peter and Henry
Nelson who located on unsurveyed land within
the Northern Pacific grant in the Territory of
washington In 1881. This after the railroad
company had fled its general map showing its
proposed line but before il had filed its map Of
definite location. In the opinion handed down to-
day il was held that the title OF the settlers
better than of the railroad company, and that
until the definite map filed Congress had control
Of the lands within the grant, regardless of the
general map. In a dissenting opinion Justice
Brewer said the opinion reverses the judgment of
the court of twenty years ago. by which the In
terror Department had since been controlled

pany and settlers like the Nelson's.
