DOCKING HORSES
AUTHORIZING LAW SUSTAINED.
Law Constitutional and Denounces
Docking as Cruel and SenseIess.

Denver, April Sin upholding the
constitutionality of the Colorado law
relating to the docking Of horses. the
Supreme Court yesterday declared
sound the first law of this kind ever
passed in this country. The law pro
Nides not only against the docking of
horses tails but also against the use OF
a docked animal that was not register
ed in compliance with the reQuirem .nts
of the law after 1t was passed. 1t WAS
through the instigation of the HUI
name Society that the legislation on
this point was secured, and the test
case which has just been decided was
prosecuted by Secretary L. X. White
head
The test case was instituted by
Ernest Bland. former coachman OF
John W. Springer. Bland was charged
with having in his possession and
using an unregistered docked horse.
and the case was decided against him
in the lower court. He appealed to
the Supreme Court. claiming that that
part of the law which prohibited the
use of unregistered docked horses was
unconstitutional in that it was con.
trary to that part of the constitution
which allows to all persons certain
natural. essential and inalienable
rights" among which might be reck.
oned the acquiring OF property.
The opinion was written by Judge
Steele, and he interpreted the law in
no uncertain terms. He says
With full knowledge of the law the
owner of the horse docked him and
sold him to Bland, and Bland, with full
knowledge of the law, bought docked
horse. Their property has not been
taken without due process of law.
The law has not destroyed their prop
erty; they have destroyed their own
property Bland sold the horse, and
within two weeks bought him back in
the interim the horses tail was
docked. There was no necessity for
docking the horses tail, and the par
ties concluded to defy the law. and
they must take the consequences. We
regard the law as just, wise and hu-
name, and withal legal exercise of
power confided to the Legislature be-
cause it cOnserves the public morals,
and because 1t Furnishes the cruel and
senseless treatment by man of his
best and most constant friend.
THE docking of horsess tail ia
cruelty, not only because of the tor
lure inflicted by the operation, but be-
cause by depriving the horse of the
use of his tail he is deprived OF the
use Of weapon supplied him by ma
ture for his protection from the my
! riads of winged pests that infest the
| land. We are of the opinion that in
| the forbidding of the use of docked
horse the Legislature has not ex-
! ceeded its authority; that the inter
/ dictiOn is a valuable and reasonable
exercise of the police power of the
/ state. and that the constitution has
not been violated"

Every borsekeeper should know
that if they will bay Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they

THE OLDEST CoLoRADAN.
One Hundred and Four Years Old
Easter Sunday.

Denver. April 5.--ln good health and
cheerful spirits was the condition in
which 100 members of the Grutli Yer

when they called at st Anthony's hos

his 104th birthday. Dr. Eisenhut is a
member of the society and each year
his brothers go to the hospital and give
a celebration in his honor.
For the last six years the society has
been caring for the venerable old man.
and on each birthday during this time
the members have paid visit. To all
of them yesterday he gave hearty
haEdshake and jokingly remarked that
he would greet them in the same man
Mer this date in 1905.
Dr. Eisenhut was born in Switzerland
in 1900. Despite his advanced age he
still possesses much vigor. and from his
appearance and actions, one not famil-
lar with his history, would hardly take
him to be SO old.
Mr.. Eisenhut talks entertainingly of
his own life and always feels happy
when he has an opportunity to tell
stories of his boyhood days. His early
life was spent in Switzerland and he re-
counts with much pride the time. when

LATEST NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
Alaska Trip Planned.

A large party OF senators. represen-
tatives ano private individuals interest
ed in the e. nmercial progress OF the
great Northwest are arranging TO take
an extended trip through Alaska. the
Klondike and Nome districts. rounding
out the unique journey by spending the
Fourth of July on the bleak shores of
northern Siberia.
1t is probable that this Will be the
largest exclusively sightseeing aggre

to be chartered for the transcontinental
trip. and special steamers and trains
will conduct the party from Seattle to
Skagway, over the world-famous White
pass, down the Yukon to Dawson, and
the rest of the land of the midnight

The idea of visiting Siberia on the
Fourth Of July and distributing that
virgin atmosphere with the din of
American firecrackers and chorus OF
e Pluribus Unum'' is the happy
thought of one of the members, who
believed some opportunity should be
given the statesmen and other officials
of the government who contemplate the
trip. to display their proverbial patriot
ism.
Through the courtesy of Count Cas-
sini and the good offices Of the Russian
embassy at Washington, the party has
been given assurances that each mem
ber will receive special passport, per-
mitting the landing at East Cape. on
the western shore of the Behring sea.

Disease Caused by Sunlight.

While the rays of the sun possess
stimulating and beneficial effect in
disease and can be used with advant-
age as therapeutic agent, yet, ac-
cording to recent Investigations, they
also may act injuriously and cause dis
ease. That there is a difference in the
therapeutic value between the actinic
rays, or those located at the violet end
lo1 the spectrum, and the red rays was
appreciated by Finsen, and the former
were used in the treatment of such
skin diseases as lupus vulgaris or tu-
,berculosis of the skin, while the latter
were found effective in cases of small
lpoX. One of the most recent re-
searches in this department is by Pro
,fessor Fermi, and is given in late
number Of the Archiv fur Hygiene In,
these experiments a large number of
human subjects were exposed to direct
sunlight for varying periods. and in a
large percentage of cases it was found
that there resulted the following set
of symptoms: cephalagia (headache) ),
dryness OF the nasal macosa. snuffling
coryza tcold in the head), pharyn gifts,
WEAKNESS, slight conjunctivitis, dry
ness of the lips, fever, pseudo-inf1u-
enZa, constipation, insomnia, epistaXis
'tnose bleed), and various pains. From
this list of symptoms experienced by
his patients and from the observed CO.
incidence of certain diseases and met
geological conditions, Professor Fermi
concludes that exposure to the suns s
rays is a predisposing factor in
coryza, influenza, hay fever, and cpl
denic meningitis Weekly.

Justice Gould of the District Su-
preme Court has signed the final de-
cree in the long litigation over prize
money for the captured Spanish YES
sells and stores at Manila, May l. 1898
The suit was instituted by Admiral
Dewey and others of the captors. I'm
der the decree the $S2S.67S, the
amount at which the value of the cap
tured vessels and stores was fixed
will be divided, after the costs of liti
cation are deducted. one-half to 30 to

pension fund. The only step now left
in the litigation is the fixing of the

Several features of the new state
hood bill were discussed before the
House committee on territories yester-
day by Representative Curtis of Kan
sas. Mr.. Curtis urged that the con.
stitutions of the new states be re.
quired to contain ample provision for
the protection of Indians in their
treaty rights with the United States
Some features of the bill which have
not heretofore been made public are
that the state to be known as Okla
homa shall be entitled to five repre-
sentatives in the House of Represent
atives. The state of Arizona is to
have two representatives. The capital
of Oklahoma is to be Guthrie, and
that of Arizona, Santa Fe. The bill
appropriates 100000 to defray' the
expenses of the constitutional conven-
tion for Arizona. and $4,000 for the
same purpose for Oklahoma. Four sec
tions in each township in Arizona are
set apart as school lands.
During the consideration of the sun
dry civil appropriation bill in the
House Mr.. Gillett of Massachusetts de-
voted considerable time to answering
some of the statements recently made
on the floor by Mr.. Spight of Missis-
sippi, regarding the race question.
He declared that he had supposed
there were no social grades in the
United States, but that every man had
the right to choose his own friends
and associates among those in sympa-
thy with himself He defended the
President for inviting Booker T. Wash
ington to dine with him and said the
President was a man of big heart. as
well as of birth. breeding and cultiva-
ton. Mr. Gilett drew the fire of many
of the southern representatives, who
piled him with questions regarding so
cial equality. He declared that this
kind of social equality" is artificial,
and that in the United States race
does not make superiority. In the
South, he said. they appeal to race
prejudice to make their section solid
against Repubicanism. Mr.. Burgess
of Texas denied that it is the purpose
of the South to use the Negro ques-
tion for political purposes. Mr.. Reed
er of Kansas, in defense of Booker T..
Washington, said there is not person
in his section who would not feel it an
honor to invite Mr.. Washington to his
table.
