EXPENSIVE FUNERALS.

The Melancholy Graft of a Congress-
 man.
 Another rather melancholy sort of graft has prospered with the death and burial of members of the senate and house. No matter what his political importance or social position, every member of congress may expect to be luxuriously buried, and long string of people benefit by his taking off. Here, at least, big men and little men are on an equality. The extravaganza of con- gressional funerals is the result not of family ambition, but Of professional greed and official recklessness For New England senator, for instance. the senate made a funeral that cost. SS,765. and for that of a southern senator S4, 200 was expended, both senators being men of frugal tastes and habits. For a dis tinguished member of the house from an Eastern state funeral was made costing $4,751, while the funeral of a Western representative, who had all his life long been celebrated first of all for his strict economy; public and pri- vate, appropriately cost but about $500. At more than one of these funer- als, similar in most respects to all the others, there were thousands of dollars spent for special trains of sleeping cars special aiming cars and attendants, a plenty of "comnnissary supplies" for the mourning committees and payments on a most liberal scale for singers, organ ists to play plain tune or two on parlor organ, with unreguIated hack hire to defray whenever chance arose. There is no law for these funerals. and they are all paid for by the public or the assumption that graft is all right if nobody objects to it.-From LeslieA Weekly.

CHURCH FIRE SUSPICIOUS.
Fire Authorities Making Careful Inves-
 tigation


 tigation. Deputy State Fire Marshal Seeley stated yesterday that the circumstances attending the fire at St. Michaels church on Wooster Place appeared. more suspicious now than when he first un- dertook his investigation. MT. Seeley asserts that from what he can now learn the fire started in two, and possi- bly, three places.
 The marshal is now working on an en- tirely new clue which promises better results than others, but it will take sev- eral days and possibly a week in which to trace it down.
 MT. Seeley could not be induced to say what his suspicious were, but it is ap- parent that he has reached the conclu- sion that the fire did not sstta It from any ordinary or natural cause.

Electric Power Project for Tonopah.

A photographic survey has demon
strated that the construction of an i'm

yon would furnish 10000, 900 horse

ed to build a dam there and install a
dynamo plant for the transmission of
electric power to Tonopah and Gold
field for operating hoist, milling AMI
lighting plants The distance from the
proposed site of the dam and dynamo
plant to Tonopah is ninety miles, as
the crow flies and the loss in trans
mitting power that distance shouii
not exceed Is per cent of the voltage
generated. Messrs Booth and Brough

the foregoing project in view and
should the ore resources of the two
camps mentioned warrant the out
lay, there will be no difficulty in OBJ

HlCH-POWER MICROSCOPES
One That Enlarges the Eye of House.
Fly to an Area Of 312
Square Feet.

All who use the microscope are
aware that the limit of it's magnifyina
powers is soon reached. Beyond a
certain point the image becomes in
distinct, large but not clear, and the
1mperfections of the instrument are
magnit1ed as well as the object. Prof,
Dolbear has observed that 1.-THE DOW
ers OF the microscope have not been
doubled within the last so years,
though more time and ingenuity have
been given to the problem of i'm
proving it than will ever be given in
the same interval again." It is dan
gerous, however, to prophesy, says the
London Telegraph. One of the exhib-
Its at the Royal society's converse
ztone seemed to mark a very distinct
advance. Mr.. j. w. Gordon showed q
high-power microscope which had in
the view-feld of the ordinary instru-
ment q rotating glass screen, and this,
viewed through second microscope,
gave further magnifcat1on of 100
diameters. The ground-glass screen.
by expanding the transmitted light
wave, causes it completely to fill the
aperture of the second microscope, 50
that the usual imperfections of ex-
cessive magnifcation disappear. A
diaton was magnified 10000 diameters
and its structure was clear and well
defined. With the same magnifica-
ton the eye Of q house-fly would seem

LAKE OF ICE IN SUMMER.
Surrounded by Perpetual Mountain
Shows, the Big Lump Of Ice
Seldom Melts.

While the people of Denver are swell
tering III the first hot weather of the
summer little mountain lake only rs
miles away lies calmly enjoying it's per-
petual freeze lake is solid ice. This
is what was found by C. A. Parker, in
charge of the telegraph construction of
the Moffat railroad, in the shadow of
the James peak, on the continental d.
vide, says a recent report from Denver.
Perpetual SHOWS blanket the noun
tain on the sides not reached by the sun,
and amid the wintry scene of glacial
whiteness lies the little lake, one big
lump of ice How long the lake has been
frozen no one knows. Sometimes it
melts, but this year it has not shown any
signs of succumbing to the higher tenn
perature
Mr.. Parker enjoyed the cooling prox-
unity OF the lake recently when Denver
was receiving the first real share of hot
weather. He also inspected the enor-
nous banks of glacial snow, some of
them extending hundreds of feet on the
mountain side and scores of feet deep.
Officers of the Moffat road are much
interested in the finds. They knew that
the glaciers were there, but the lake was
something they did not expect. Now
everyone from General Manager Ridg-
way to the Office boy is trying to deter
mine how long that lake may have been
frozen solid. It helps them to keep COOL
Many wonderful scenic features are
reported by Mr.. Parker, who rode from
Mammoth over the divide, selecting the
locations for the telegraph poles. He
says that the James peak country is a
wonderful region and will be surprise
The Moffat road temporary line will
pass within short distance of the peak
and fine view of the SHOWS will be af-
forded.

But the majors troubles did not really
begin until after he had secured the
nomination. For week he had rest
and beyond some irritating slurs in the
democratic papers suggesting bribery
and corruption at the primaries and CALI
ing attention to the wealth of the re-
publican candidate, he was left in peace.
He was the subject of much congratulate
ton and the party newspapers abound
ed In most fulsome compliments, His
good nature returned, the rings faded
from his eyes. He became partially HIM
SELF. Then the trouble began again. In
the first place the democrats nominated
young Stephen Murdoch, who was per-
sistent sutton of his daughter. The
major disapproved of Murdock's enter
Ing the field against him and there grew
up GOODNESS between Helen and HIM
self-the first in their lives,
Then the democratic papers opened
up the campaign, and the major read
with astonished rage that he was plu-
tocrat and the personal representative
of the railroads and trusts, that vast
sums had been spent in his primary
campaign in corrupting voters and buy
ing of other candidates, which sums had
been contributed by the corporations.
The major smiled grimly at this. When,
however, the charge was made that his
money had been acquired largely in
questionable transactions and hints
thrown out of widows and orphans
robbed by his handling Of their funds,
he grew purple with rage and forbade
Murdoch to the house, and ordered Helen
to dismiss him forever. Then there de-
scended upon his house cloud of gloom.
Helen was perennially in tears and the
major savage. 1t was when they as
sailed his army record and called him
an incompetent and a coward that his
friends feared stroke of apoplexy or
insanity. That was the day he broke
dishes and hurled a book through the
glass doors of his bookcase.
These attacks on his financial and
military honor were what defeated him,
Not that anybody believed them, but
they stirred his anger to such an extent
