PERILS OF THE TRAPPERS.
How the Famous Scott and Many 9th
ers Went to Their Deaths on
the Platte River.

In the United States the free hunt
ers approach the mountains by three
main routes. 1t was coming down the
Platte that poor SCOTS canoe was
overturned, his powder lost and his
rifle rendered useless, relates Outing.
Game had retreated to the mountains
with springs advance. Berries were
not ripe by the time trappers were
descending with their winters hunt.
Scott and his furnishing men could
not find edible roots. Each day Scott
weakened. There was no food. Final
ly Scott had strength to go no further.
His men had found tracks of some
other hunting party far to the fore.
They thought that in any case he
could not live. What ought they to
do? Hang back and starye with him,
or hasten forward while they had
strength to the party whose tracks
they had espied. On pretense of seek
ing roots, they deserted the helpless
man. The next spring when these
same hunters went up the Platte they
found the skeleton of poor Scott 60
miles from the place where they had
left him. The terror that spurred the
emaciated man to drag himself all this
weary distance can barely be con-
ceived; but such were the fearful odds
taken by every free trapper who went
up the Platte, across the parched
plains or to the headwaters of the
Missouri.

DisIocated Her Shoulder.

Mrs. Johanna Soderholm, of Fergus
Falls, Mimi, fell and dislocated her shout
der. She had a surgeon get it back in
place as soon as possible, but 1t was quite
sore and panied her very much. Her son
mentioned that he had seen Chamberlain g
Pain Balm advertised for sprains and sore
ness, and she asked him to buy her a bot
tie of it which he did. 1t quickly relieved
her and enabled her to sleep which she
had not been able to do for several days.
The son was so much pleased with the re-
lief it gave bis mother that he has since
recommended it to many others. For sale

VENEZUELA IS DECAYING.
German Traveller States That Nike d
Negroes and Indians Are Get
ting an Upper Hand.

DR.. Passarge, the noted traveller,
who has just returned from Vene-
zuela, says, according to Berlin re-
port:
president Castro is a full-blooded
Indian and an energetic man without
political wisdom. He rose suddenly
from magistrate of a remote village
at the foot of the Andes to the presi-
dency, and his rapid rise made him
overconfdent.
1.-THE present situation is due 70
two facts: Germany suddenly sus-
pended the pressure of the early part
of the war, which diminished the re-
spect in which she was held by Presi-
dent Castro; secondly, the attitude
of the officials of the great Venezue-
Ian railroad toward President Cas-
tro. Germany's first principle must
be not to NEEDLE in the internal af-
fairs of Venezuela. But the railroad
officials forgot this"
DR.. Passarge describes the state as
drifting to certain decay and as fol-
lowing a steadily downward course
since Gen. Blanco's presidency. The
color question plays an important
role in political tendencies. The
mixed negroes and Indians, ETC., are
getting an upper hand in society and
politics.

GENERAL GAME LAW.

We see that general game law for the
State is likely to be passed at the present
session If the Legislature. Such law
has lOngibeen needed. { There have here
tofore been so many special game laws,
some applying to certain counties and
oilers to certain other counties, that they
have been source of interminable con.
fusion. A uniform law which will
apply to every county in the State will he
much more useful.
liza general law is enacted it should
have several provisions that have not
been in any Of the special laws heretofore
In force. One provision should, be, that
persons coming from other States to hunt
in Virginia shall pay a .license. Another
provision should forbid the shipment of
any game from the State, except by those,
perhaps, who come here and pay license
for the privilege ofshooting. The amount
to be shipped by such licensed hunters
should be limited in quantity. There
should also be a rigid provision to pre-.
vent hunters from trespassiDg. The latter
will make the law more satisfactory to
landowners.

HAIR AND INTELLECT.
differences About the SubsoiI from
the Top CrOp-ArtiSts and Chill
dren Prove the Rule.

Some curious statistics relating to
hair have been collected by the
school authorities at Lille Thus, the
authenticated boys are generally at
the head of the recitation classes,
and the blonde girls learn their les
sons best, says London Truth. Au-
burn boys and blonde lasses come
out highest as arithmaticians. But in
composition they are nowhere. The
dark-haired children of both sexes
have the quality of imagination, and
in their compositions know how not
to fatigue the attention. They have
movement and originality. In short,
they seem, as compared to the au-
burns and blondes, born stylists.
Now, that 1 think of it, Sarah Bern
bardt is, or was, authenticated, and
Nine. Bartet had light brown hair 25
years ago-so light as to be almost
fair l should not call the late Nine.
Jacques Stern (Croizette) in the hey
dey of her charms blonde. But she
had a darkish shade of fair hair that
looked like heavy sheeny floss silk,
and the rudJiness that one associates
with auburn. Nine. Samary was also
fair without being exactly blond.
1 daresay the auburn boys and
blonde lasses in the Lille elementary
schools are of Flemish, that is to
say phlegmatic, race. Their brains
do not grow at once congested when
they stand up to recite and for that
reason they keep the mastery of the
vocal organs. In short, they con-
tinue to know what they are about.
The dark children are probably OF
Celtic, that is to say Gallo, origin. /
The blood comes with rush to their
brains, and they grow confused,
splutter, and break down. If they |
could only be taught to remain ST.
lent for a few moments, they would
be all the better for this rush, as the
confusion would have passed away,
leaving only stimulated mental or
ganS. Goldsmith, who was dark, al
ways began by being confused in
O'Connen wore a black
wig, but his real hair in youth was
auburn. 1 recollect very old people
who heard him plead in his prime
speak of it as such. His readiness
vas wonderful. But perhaps he
night not have recited so well what
somebody else had written.

orator recite. Grevy, the president of

object in imposing the duty was to meet
the opinion of Judge in California, who
decided that certain semi. bituminous coal
imported into San Francisco was ''anthra'
cite" The Dinglev law did not put duty
on all anthracite, but it went further than
was intended, and as there is no need OF
any duty on such co it is well that the
duty has been removed.
Opinions differ as to the'effect OF this
legislation. Many think that it will be
helpful, while others, such as Mr.. Dalzell.
have expressed the opinion that it Will not
have any particular effect. But the peo-
pie are in distress for coal, and anything
that tends to relieve them should be tried.
The duty on coal is 81 cents ton. AT the
ruling prices now that rate of duty would
not exclude coal. There was not ton OF
anthracite imported in November, 1901,
but in the corresponding month of l9OZ
"a $50 tons of what was called anthracite
under the Dingley law were imported. In
November, 1901, II 1899 ton of bituminous
from Great Britain were imported, while
in the same month of 1902 the imports
were 2I6, $50 tons. This goes to show that
foreign coal is coming in freely now, and
there may not be much of an increase.
On the Pacific Coast, where no trouble
exists, this measure will increase the i'm
portation of bituminious from Canada,
where wages are low, Cinnamon being
employed, and it may have the same eff
feet in New Eegand Coal from Nova
Scotia can be delivered in New England
at small cost of transportation. 1t is a
remedy worth trying, though the effect
may not be in any way decisive, as Nova
Scotia is now sending all the coal she can
spare.

The Pure Elections Bill.
(Norfolk-Virginian PilOt.)


The pure elections bill of Senator Barks-
dale has been ordered engrossed
With the context of the bill we are not
familiar but its purpose we are prepared
to most cordially endorse.
Indeed, the Virginian. Pilot has often in
sisted that the greatest problem before the
American people was involved in the ques-
ton, How shall the will of the qualified
voters be accurately ascertained and regis
tered, without fraud and without jugglery?
Senator Barksdae's bill forbidding the
use of money in elections certainly looks
to that end. The great trouble is likely to
be in enforcing the law, or such experience
in this country would seem to indicate.
In England there is similar law and &C.
cording to reports 1t is rigidly enforced
with the result that there is very little
money used in elections and bribery is
rare.
We should like to see a pure elections
law on our statute books and see it rigidly
enforced. In the matter of ballot box
frauds, it is confidently predicted that a
new and cleaner era is at hand in Virginia,
but it will not profit us greatly if bribery
is to thrive and flourish. Indeed, ballot
box frauds have more than once been used
to thwart briDers in their purposes, but
now let us have an end of both.
The Barksdale bill or some similar
measure should become law.

passages from his favorite poets.
Theirs could commit nothing to men,
ory in the way of poem or speech
by another orator. He had himself too
much to say to incumber his mind with
the writings of others. Louis Blanc
shone, however, in reciting declama-
tory passages from Corneille and Ra-
cine, but his brother Charles-a fair,
Jewish-looking man. not unlike the
first Baron James de Rothschild-beat
him in defamation at the eccleSiastic-
al school where they passed their
youth. Charles Blanc triumphed in
both masculine and feminine parts,
and drew tears from his reverend pre-
ceptor's eyes as Andromaque. Louis
was best as Polyeucte or the Cid.
Imagine wee Louis Blanc giving the il
fusion Of that heroic warrior! Victor
Hugo never seemed grander than in
reading some noble work of his own.
An old passport given to him in his
twenty-seventh year speaks of him as
having auburn hair, long and remark
ably thick. heard him recite the "To
be or not to be" soliloquy as trans
lated by his son Francois. Did he not
throw expression into it!
To come back to stage people, the
two Coquelins are fair. Mile. Schnei-
der, who rather recited than sang in
the operattas of Offenbach, was re-
markedly fair. 1t may be that the late
Queen Victoria would have read her
speeches less well had she been bru-
nette. Rachel is an illuStrious instance
on the other side. l do not know
whether her rival and supplanter Ris-
tori should be classed among the dark
or fair actresses. When l made her
acquaintance the early color of her
hair and complexion had departed.
She had fair-haired brother who sud-
denly became white-haired. He used
to teach Italian, however, in a singing
school
Finally, on the subject of hair, ! am
sorry to say that the red-headed boys
and girls in the Lille schools-les roux
ct les rousses-are at the bottom in
everything save in good conduct
marks. Nor are they remarkable for
good health. The dark boys behave
better than the auburn or the fair,
and are more sensitive to praise OF
blame.

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

Our Democratic friends in Virginia have
been for years proclaiming their hostility
to trusts. Ever since the question of sup.
pressing trusts has been mooted the
Democrats have been in absolute control
of every department of the State, execu'
tive, legislative and judicial. We would
like to enquire what the Virginia Demo-
Gratis have done by law to regulate the
trusts? Many other States have enacted
antitrust laws and are enforcing them as
thoroughly as they can.
Instead of doing likewise, the Virginia
Legislatures have appeared to be
thoroughly under the control of corpora
tons and lobbyists. The present General
Assembly, instead of showing an interest
in trust legislation, seems intent in trying
to shape our statute law to conform to the
partisan spirit Of the late constitutional
convention, or investigating disgraceful
charges against Democratic county judge
who was member of the late constitu'
tional convention.
If there ever was time when the ques'
ton of trusts should have the careful and
honest consideration of the Virginia
LEGISLATURE, that time has now arrived.
The suffering that has been oCcasioned by
coal famine in many cities and towns of
other States, and even in Virginia, has
given the question a sharper point than 1t
ever had before. In some States the
authorities have proceeded to act against
coal companies and dealers for violation
of antitrust laws. In Ohio, by direction
of Governor Nash, Attorney General
Sheets has filed in the Supreme Court
quo warranto suits against six big Goa
companies to take their charters from
them. The companies are: The New
Pittsburg Coal Company, the Sunda
Greek Coal Company, the General Hook
ing Fuel Company, the Interstate Coal
Company, and the Hooking Coal & Iron
Company.
At Detroit, Mich, Prosecuting Attorney
Hunt has filed information in the Wayne
Circuit Court against the Detroit Coal Ex-
change, an organization of thirty local
coal dealers, charging violation of the
Stae antitrust law of 1899, and asking
f. an injunction. A law similar Ito the
one which lie being enforced in Ohio, or the
one IN Michigan, should be enacted in
every State of. the Union. The Virginia
Democracy should long ago have proved
by acts that they were honest in their
professed hostility to trusts. They have
had the power to do something and have
not done it. They have the chance now
to show their faith 10y their works. Will
they DO anything?

Possible Relief From Free Coal.
philadelphia Press.

The passage by Congress yesterday Of
the bill putting anthracite coal on the free
list and providing for rebate of the duty
on bituminous coal for one year sho Ss
how rapidly business can be done when
there is no fractions opposition. This bill
first passed the House, and was then
amended in the Senate So as to put anth-
racite coal on the free list, and that
amendment was agreed to in the House
and the bill made ready for the Presi-
dents signature, all within a few hours
time. Considering the importance Of the
measure the record is remarkable.
If the Democrats in the House could
have had their way partisan debat
would have followed which might have
long delayed the passage of the bill.
Nothing would have been accomplished by
debate, excepting, perhaps, to bring out
more conspicuously the insincerity of the
Democrats, who put aIduty on bituminous
coal in the Wilson tariff act. As to an
thracite, it was on the free list until the
Dingley bill was passed, and it was not
then intended to make it dutiable. The

the cause is something over which you
