The Minot Optic in speaking of
the death of Thomas Richards,
says: Major. Thomas Richards,
former agent Of the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation, died at the
county hospital last Wednesday
evening. aged u years. The de-
ceased came to the hospital about
three weeks ago suffering an af-
Fiction in one of his limbs which
had been injured a number of
years ago in an accident. The re-
mains were taken to his former
home south of Bismarck where
they were inferred. Major Rich
ards was one of the oldest settlers
of the Missouri river valley, hav-
ing taken land in 1872 or 1873
about twenty miles south Of Bis
marck, which place he still owned
at the time of his death. He also
owned a large ranch near Hidden
wood.

Not satisfactory.

The crew of a freight train side
tracked near Norristown to await the
passage of four trains fell asleep from
WEAKNESS produced by being twenty
two hours on duty, awoke and ran
out to the main track. thinking the
other trains had passed. A wreck re-
suited, two persons were killed and
the Coroner's jury held the crew for
criminal negligence. Judge Swartz Of
the Montgomery County Court held
that no man was compelled to work
under such conditions, that he ought
to have quit work when ne found him
self reaching his physical limit, even
at the risk Of losing his job, rather
than jeopardize the lives of others.
This ruling will be accepted as COM
mon sense and good law. But the
question remains, What is the remedy
for such conditions? Putting it UP to
the train crew is not the most salts
factory solution. Railroads should
not ask. should not permit their en-
ployes to work under such conditions,
which jeopardize the lives of passen-
gers. The increasing frequency of
wrecks caused by worn-out employees
falling asleep or making mistakes de-
mands that railroad management
should do something to provide rem
edy.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Historic Ships, Names.

At least four historic ships of our
navy have been launched from Boston
ways-the Constitution, the old Cum
berland the Hartford and the Merri-
mac. The old Cumberland, the ship
of tragic glory, was launched more
than sixty years ago. The Merrimac,
converted into a Confederate iron
clad and named Virginia, was to de-
stroy the Cumberland, was put into
the water in 1855. The Hartford was
launched in 1858. The Cumberland,
Merrimac and Hartford were all
navy-yard built. The new Cumber-
land is to be used as training-ship.
and therefore her service will be of
preparation rather than war. But it
is we'll that training-ships should bear
heroic names, since the associations
that cluster about them are inspira-
tions to young tars. The training
squadron of sailing vessels when COM
pleted will be made up of the Chesa-
peake, Cumberland, Intrepid and the
brig Boxer. OF these the Chesapeake
repeats the name of a ship singularly
unfortunate, but whose final disaster
was almost redeemed by the devotion
of Lawrence; the original Intrepid
perished in her duty, and Somers and
her crew were great exemplars of su-
preme self-sacrifice. The Cumber-
lands heroic story will live forever.
The Boxer alone carries in her name
the association of victory.-Boston

GEYSERS THAT RIVAL
THOSE OF YELLOWSTONE

Yellowstone Park is reputed to have
the most magnificent geysers in the
world. but their reputation is based
upon the statements of travellers who
have never been to New Zealond and
who know nothing of its natural won
ders.
Leaving Auckland by a fast express
train a journey of eight hours brings
one to Rotorua, where may be seen
the most splendid geyser which is
possible to be found anywhere in
the world. To give some idea of the
magnitude of the geyser one need
mention only the height of some of
the surrounding objects. over the
Inferno crater" which contains
seething lake of water. is a small
shelter shed $50 feet above the plain.
The surface of the water In the geyser
basin when at rest is about forty feet
below this plain. The height of the
eruption must often be about 900 feet.
This is by no means exceptional.
Higher "shots" have been recorded.
Some months ago the area of the basin
was measured in a small boat by
traveller and a guide. They found that
the area is about two and half acres,
from which it NAV be inferred that
this geyser may we'll be called the
largest in the world.
The geyser plays about twenty-five
times a month, is very erratic and
gives no warning when it is about to
erupt The theory is advanced that
the basin is somewhat like a funnel
and that when the water and stones
are elected the larger stones return
and jam in the neck, thereby choking
the outlet so that an enormous pres
sure of steam must shift them. When
the pressure is sufficiently great to
blow out the distractions 1t naturally
would eject water to a great height.
This geyser is not the only one to
be seen in this vicinity. Others may
be mentioned, such as the Pohutu,
Wairoa, Feather, Papakura and
others, besides mud volcanoes-Chi-
cago Chronicle.

WE SHOULD NEVER
SHOW OUR EMOTION
Instances Evidencing the Undemon-
strative Nature of the
English

We Anglo -Saxons are apt to pride
ourselves upon being undemonstrative.
Max Adler tells a tale of a boy who
was sent out by his father to fetch in
some wood. The boy took the opportu-
nifty of disappearing and did not show
his face again beneath the paternal
roof for more than twenty years. Then
one evening a smiling, well-dressed
stranger entered to the old couple and
aRhounced himself as their long-lost
child
We'll, you haven't hurried yourself"
grumbled the old man, "and blarm me
if now you haven't forgotten the
wood"
I was lunching with an Englishman
in London restaurant one day. A
man entered and took a seat at table
near by, and, glancing round and meet
ing my friends eye, smiled and nodded.
Excuse me a minute said my
friend, Il must just speak to my
brother, haven't seen him for over five
years.
He finished his soup and leisurely
wiped his mustache before strolling
across and shaking hands. They talked
for while, then my friend returned to
me-
Never thought to see him again."
observed my friend; "he was one of the
garrison at that place in Africa
what's the name of it?-that the Mahdi
attacked. Only three Of them escaped.
Always was a lucky beggar, Jim"
But wouldn't you like to talk to him
some more?" 1 suggested. II can see
you any time about this little business
of ours
"Oh, that's all right" he answered;
I'VE have just fixed it up-shall be din
ing with him tomorrow. London NJ.

IHERREROS CROSSING INTO
BRITISH BECHUANALAND

BERLIN, Dec. 23.-The German Con-
sui General at Cape Town announces
that, according to official British dis
patches, the Herrero chief Samuel Ma
herero has crossed the frontier into
British Bechuanaland and asked per-
mission Of the authorities to remain
permanently. The British magistrate
in Ngamiland has received orders to
prevent the Herreros so far as possible
from entering British territory, but
those entering must be Immediately
disarmed and prevented from return
ing to German Southwest Africa, and
the German officials must be permitted
to come into the colony and examine
the cattle of the refugee Herreros to
determine whether they are stolen. The
magistrate has also been informed that
Samuel Maherero, with a limited num-
Der of followers, might remain, but that
they must settle at a considerable dis
tance from the German frontier. Sam
uel is the principal insurgent chief.
