Rodey's Sensation.

B.,R Rodey, former delegate to con
gress from New Mexico, created
Juror at Saturdays hearing on the
joint statehood bill before the house
committee on territories by allowing
that corporate interests IL Arizona had
suppressed public opinion in favor of
the joint statehood and declared that
popular vote on the question would
show decided majority in fGvor OF
the admission OF Arizona and New
Mexico as one state
There has been intense pcrsecu-
ton in Arizona, Mr. Rodey declared.
Special interests have perpetrated
outrageous and scandalous suppress
sion of public opinion for the last six
months. Thousands favor joint state
hood who do not dare to say so"
The members of the JOINT statehood
league who were in the committee
room united in a protest against these
statements, but in response to the
chorus of no. no from the Arizon.
aians, Mr.. Rodey declared that the
corporation influences that are OPP
posing the joint statehood measure do
not dare TO submit the joint statehood
proposition to the people of Arizona.

The present Mrs. Pinkham has for
twenty-five years made a study of the
ills of her sex; she has consulted with
and advised thousands of suffering
women, who to-day owe not only their
health but even life 10 her helpful

Mrs. Fannie D. Fox, of 7tChestnut

Senator DepeW.

If Senator Platt's announcement is
true, Senator Depew will occupy his
seat in the senate this week He said
he had received a telegram from Mr..
Depew saying the latter will resume
his official duties Monday. The tele-
gram from Mr.. Depew was in response
TO one sent by Plat, who frankly sug-
gested TO his colleague that he must
make every possible effort to be in the
senate Monday. He said Mr.. Depew 5
continued absence only furnished tan
gible reasons for adverse criticism and
afforded opportunity for his enemies
in the New York state legislature and
elsewhere 10 attack him for neglect OF
duty.
Mr.. Platts chief idea in getting Mr.
Depew here was 10 have the sting OF
the Bracket resolution Offset by the
cordial and friendly reception given &c
Mr. Depew by his associates in the
senate.
Mr.. Plat declared positively that
Mr. Depew's health is not impaired
He said his colleague had been eXces
sively worried by unkind criticism and
the result has been a feverish condi
ton of body and mind which untitled
him for his routine duties in the sen
ate.

land channels thirty feet deep and
from two 10 four inches in circumfer-
ence. The interior was hard glazed
where the solid substance had been
melted by the stabbing flashes. Arti.
fetal experiment has shown that a
powerful shock from o battery will
vitrify finely powdered glass, but not
feldspar or quartz. The lightning,
however, does it in the manner de-
scribed-not in one place. but in many,
showing that before striking the
ground it divided into several
branches. each strong enough to pene-

EARLY English Football.

The American game, however, can
hardly be more violent than was the
game as originally played in England,
IL we may judge from the denuncia-
ton OF its enemies According to Sir
Thomas Elyot, baronet of the time OF
the Tudors. the game consisted OF
nothing but beastlie furie and eX-
IRENE violence while Stubbes, the
puritan, describes il as bloody and
numbering practice" and a -devilish
business altogether The fact that
many players are injured seems to
him no marvel For they havs the
sleights 10 meet one betwixt Two, and
to dash him against the hart with
their elbows, to but him under the
short ribs with their clenched frsts
and with their knees to catch him on
the hip or pitch him on the neck, with
a hundred such numbering devices.
