Novelty of the Season.

Among the seasons novelties Is an
insane horse. The surprise IL that
this particular animal hasn't docked
tail One coald understand the agony
of mind horse without tail must
suffer in the heat, with green flies
biting him to death, bat this animal
goes crazy at night, when the sun and
flies have gone. He insists on stand
ing on his head in Thrifty vegetable
gardens and reversing the natural or
der of existence, much after the style
of human beings who are as mad as
March hares. AS match for this in
sane horse, says the Boston Herald,
there is the cat that enjoys a daily
salt water bath. Having once fallen
into the waves, it now seeks the beach
and swims about in the water as
though born a catfish. These animals
are abnormal; they belong to the sea
serpent class.

HARVARD CREW WAS TOO WEAK
Men candidly Admit They Were No
Match for Cambridge.

London, Sept. 10.-While naturally
keenly disappointed at their failure to
defeat the Cambridge crew, the Har-
ward oarsmen are offering no excuses.
During the five weeks spent on the
Thames they exerted every effort to
reach that form which they hoped
would enable them to win and entered
their boat in perfect condition, but as
were proved, this was not sufficient to
overthrow England's crack university
crew, which Capt. Filley and his men
candidly admit was too strong for
them.
The Americans rowed their best
from start to finish and took advant-
age to every lesson they had learned
since reaching England and did not
lose hope until Cambridge crossed the
line. Their only wish now is to have
an opportunity of meeting the wearers
of the light blue in American waters.

STATE WINS BIG MINE SUIT
MINNESOTA COURT HOLDS LEASE
LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.
Millions Is Decided-HiIl Hold
ings Affected.

St Paul, Mimi, Sept S.-The state
supreme court Friday handed down a
decision in the case of the state of
Minnesota vs. Mabel c. Evans, uphold
ing the decision of the st. Louis coun-
tv court at Duluth, which held that
the state law governing mineral leases
is constitutional. This case involves
the title to the famous Virginia Silver
mine, located on the Minnesota range
and which is said to be worth several
million dollars. The action was
brought by the state against Mabel
Evans, the holder of the lease, on the
ground that mineral leases are invalid
because school and swamp lands can
only be sold at public auction. In
this case the lease was taken out pri-
vately, there being but one party to
make bid On the lease.
The court, in its decision by Chief
Justice Starr, held that ION a full con-
sideration of the question it is the
opinion of the court that this mineral
lease statue does not authorize a sale
Of any OF the school or swamp lands
of the state within the meaning of the
constitutional prohibition; that it is
constitutional and the leases are
valid"
The court held that lease to the
mineral rights did not carry with it
the title to the land, which was still
vested in the state. Judge Start ex-
planned that while this view was rath-
er far fetched, the court decided the
question in this manner in order that
the extensive business interests, in
volving an immense investment of
capital, might not be seriously dis
turbed
The decision affects all the mineral
holdings Of the United States Steel
corporation, ]. j. Hills iron ore inter-
ests and many other small holdings.

Railroad Casualties.

The railroad accident bulletin which
has just been issued By the Interstate
commerce commission for the three
months ended March 81, 1905, shows
that the total number of casualties to
passengers and employees was 1926
1,126 killed and 1910 injured). This
is an increase of II IN the number
killed and 81 in the Lumber injured
over those reported in the preceding
three months. In closing the bulletin
says: "The most disastrous accident
reported in the present bulletin, col.
lision causing "a deaths and injuring
"a, was due to the striking failure OF
the train dispatching system. A tele,
graph operator at a small and lonely
station who had been On duty all day
and more than half the night fell
asleep, and on awakening misintormed
the train dispatcher az to what had
occurred while he was asleep"

Why shouldn't city manners be good

er may be inclined to ask That is not
an easy question to answer in q way
that would be conclusive to all, re-
marks the Boston Globe. But why
press it? Why insist on taking city
manners with US where they are not

city things, city fashions in clothes
as well as in manners, city conven.

Great English Industry Still Capable
of Big Production.

Though the Cornish tin deposits
have been worked from the dawn OF
history, experts hold that vast guam
titles are still to be found in this
metalliferous soil. In the past twenty
years Cornwall has been badly hit by
the development of tin mining in the
Straits Settlement. The fall in the
price of the metal caused the closing
Of many of the Cornish mines, and
incidentally led to the migration of
Cousin Jacky," as the Cornish miner
Is known, to every quarter of the
globe. 1t seemed indeed as If mining
in the duchy had received a blow
from which it could by no possibility
recover. A few mines managed to
survive, notably Dolcoath, which
earned modest profit even in the
lean years when tin varied between
$50 and $40 per ton. With the
metal nearly treble that price, it 10
not surprising that spectators and
prospectors are turning avid eyes to
this westernmost county.
The enhanced price of tin is likely
to be permanent, for it is due to
natural, not artificial, causes. Tin is
the rarest of all the metals, and the
worlds consumption has now out
grown the supply. The worlds pro-
duction has averaged, in recent years,
$4,000 tons, Of which more than one.
half has come from the Straits Set.

dies; 5000 tons from Cornwall; s..
900 tons from Australasia, and .
similar quantity from Bolivia. Tin Is
scarcely found at all in Europe or in
the limited States
