Depraved Children.

Professor Mcdonald, a specialist in
the employ of the United States Bureau
of Education, has made report of un.
usual interest. In the report state.
ment is made to the effect that suicide
among children has greatly increased;
also, that the proportion Of crime COM
mitted by children is very great. In
support of this is the declaration of the
Judge of the Juvenile Court of Denver,
who declares that 80 per cent of the
boys of that community are dishonest.
The figures of the statistician are
alarming, and a remedy should be
sought before another generation is
reared. Stockton Record.

JUDGE FITZGERALD'S CANDIDACY
1t Raises Question Under the Con-
stitution of the State of Nevada.
Elko Independent, Feb. q.

Elko Independent, Feb. "a.
Objections to Judge Fitzgerald's can
didacy for the United States Senate are
being raised on tho ground that the
State Constitution prohibits Judge to
hold other than judicial Office during
the term for which he was elected.
During the interview with the editor
of the Independent. in which Judge
Fitzgerald announced his candidacy.
his attention was called to this prohibi
tion in the State Constitution. In reply
he stated that he had investigated that
question thoroughly and the prohibition
applied only to State officers and not
to officers of the United States For
instance, he could not hold the office of
Governor during the term for which he
had been elected Judge. And further,
that State could not fix qualifications
for an officer of the United States in
conflict with the qualifications fixed in
the Constitution of the United States
United States Senators are officers of
the United States and not State Off
GERS, consequently, he said, the prohibi.
ton in the State Constitution does not
apply to United States Senators.
He also said the constitution of the
State Of Illinois at the time Lyman
Trumbull was first elected United
States Senator contained exactly the
same provision as the constitution of
Nevada contains ON this point and that
the eligibility of Trumbull to seat in
the Senatd was raised on this ground.
The Senate thoroughly investigated the
question at that time and decided unan-
imously in favor of Trumbull's right to
his seat.
1t would, therefore, appear that there
is nothing in the claim that Judge Fitz-
gerald is ineligible to a seat in the Uni
ted States Senate in case of his election.

Geronimo Roped a Steer, Though 20.

From the ST. Louie Globe Democrat.
The monotony Of the quiet life which &C.
ronimo. the Apache chief. has been lead
Ing was varied yesterday with tinge OF
the strenuous life Of his youth. He par
ticipated In Wild West show. Geronimo
was the guest OF the proprietor. and put In
his appearance dressed in the full regalia
OF the days Of his former greatness.
The old man was given good horse and
lasso and a steer was turned loose In the
arena, and Geronimo was told to rope and
tie 1t. Starting his horse at full gallop. the
chase began. After circling around. the
old chieftain whirled the lasso and made
the throw The rope settled around the
steers neck at the first attempt. In an in
slant the roper was of his horse. and with
all the cunning Of his youth proceeded to
tie the animal fast and sound. accomplishing
the feat In a very short time. The exhibition
clearly demonstrated the fact that In spite
OF his 70 years he still possesses the strength
and agility Of youth.
