An Impairment Question.

Recently there was a series of burg
laries committed in the fashionable
section of Baltimore. So anxious
were the police authorities to appre-
bend the culprits that instructions
were issued to the roundsmen to ex-
ercise extraordinary yigilence during
their tours of inspection
On one occasion, just after midnight,
an officer saw emerging noiselessly
from house in Eutaw Place a young
man, who hastily darted down the
street The officer made after him as
rapidly as possible. When he had
stopped the young man said:
Didn't you come out of the corner
house just now?"
The young fellow, though of quite a
respectable air, seemed i'll at ease. II
did," he answered, with some confu-
sion.
DO you live in that house? ?" sternly
demanded the officer.
That's an impertinent question"
replied the young man in tone of
great indignation. Il don't see what
business of yours it is, SO long as her
father doesn't object" success.

b. c. Whitney's spin, Paff, Pouf.r

b. c. WhitRey's "Piff, Pafi. POuf."
The public is familiar with the
scarecrow and the tin man, as por-
trayed by Montgomery & Stone, and
with the rubber man, by famous yau-
deville acrobat, and now comes Fred
Mace, as the sand man, in B. c. Wilt
ney's big musical production, "Piff,
Paff, Pouf," which will be seen at the
Metropolitan theater on Tuesday, Feb.
90 Mace's novelty is said to be even
more ludicrously funny than any of
the above mentioned characterizations
The scene in question finds Mace as
the sand man on the seashore. He is
made up to represent sand model,
and after some manipulation by the
supposed modeler, who accompanies
him, he is made to execute an eccen-
trio dance. Mr.. Mace has made the
hit of his career in this character and
must be seen to be appreciated.
Piff, Paff, Pouf is one of the rafting
musical comedy order and goes OF
with a snap and bang that is joyous
and inspiring as fourth of.July cele-
bration. The company is large one
and contains the names of many theat-
rical celebrities. among whom may be
mentioned is Robert E. Graham, Anna

DISQUALIFICATION,

You sowed the wind with q careless
hand when you humbled your serfs
to dust,
Do you marvel now that you reap, to-
day whirlwind of blood and lust?
Whenever the people strove to speak
of wrongs that should be redressed,
With prison and exile, knout and cord.
They begged for bread and you gave
them stones-for knowledge, you
stopped their lips;
They dreamed of freedom; you gave
them chains, and dashed them with
Cossack whips.
Now the dam has burst, and you seek
to flee from the raging human flood
Brutes you would have them, and
brutes they are-mad with the
thirst for blood!-Transcript.

Senator Aldrich shucked off Ma
goon's trousers, but when he came to
put on his own, which Magoon had
been wearing, there was succession
of loud cries. He stayed in the hotel
that night, but Magoon hustled back
to the theater in his own trousers.
He said later that he had fine time.

Road Dust Abolished.

The best roads in the world are
found in France and the next best
in Switzerland. These countries
have not stopped at building public
highways that are as serviceable as
the track of a steam railway, but
they have done what the rail-
roads have been trying in vain
to demolished dust on the roads.
This has been accomplished mainly
by the use of coal tar, though sew
eral special compounds have been
prepared for this purpose. The
cost of an application of coal tar is
1-2 cent per 1850 square inches of
road, wages of workmen not in
cluded.

Gatesville Reunion.

Takes place on July oath, 18th,
10Th and 9th. This is the Sth an
nual reunion and the press COM
mittee writes us that it will be by
far the happiest in the history of
the camp. The Third Brigade
meets with the Confederates of
Coryell county this year and every
effort will be made to make this
one such a success as to reach
National reputation.
The Gatesville reunion is held
upon grounds bought for this pur-
pose four or FIVE years ago, on
which is located two fine flowing
artesian wells, very large pavilion
and shade for camping. The
grounds are all brilliantly lighted
and a large skating rink has just
been erected at a cost of S25O0.00.
Plenty of room is assured. Plenty
of water for the crowd and stock is
convenient. Committees will be
appointed to see that everybody
who attends are we'll located either
in town or on the grounds. An in
vitation is extended to all in Texas
to come and enjoy these four days.

don Bailey of Texas, has wired his
acceptance of delivering the open
ing speech. The program con-
tains many features which will
please as we'll as "reminiscences of
the war, song, ETC., by old confed-
crates. The best talent in Texas
has been secured as speakers and
there is not an hour in the day or
early part of the night that is not
crowded with that which will en-
terrain. In addition to the Con-
tederate program, many carnival
features have been booked to please
the young people as well as some
captivating free acts provided by
specially people. On the grounds
is located a large ball park and am
phitheatre enclosed and two of the
best league teams in Texas have
promised four games. III so brief
a notice as it is possible for us to
give we cannot enunerate but
pleasure is prepared for all, old and
young, and this year the crowd is
expected to be greater than ever
before, even than last year, when
on the second day it was estimated
at 10000 people. Special rates on
all railroads and a special train two

Marion. Because the Rev. J.
H. Moore, aged so pastor of the
Baptist Church, Prospect, prayed
for the removal of all obstacles to
church work, even by death, if
necessary, the trustees held a
meeting Immediately after the SER
vice and decided to request his res
ignation.
For some time the pastor and a
portion of his people have been at
swords points, and his prayer
was regarded as a thrust at those
who opposed him. An attempt
was made to keep the church closed
the next evening, but friends OF
the pastor got the keys and opened
the building.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
SUPP osed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease and prescribed local remedies,

with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

CIVILIZATION AND CLIMATE.

The modifying influences exerted on
the climate by mans work is the fas-
cinating subject OF an article in one
of the foreign magazines. S. l.. Bas-
tin, the writer, holds that the smoke
from cities often offers protection
from cold on the adjacent country,
though for limited time and dis
tance, and only in the region toward
which the wind blows. He reiterates
the well known fact that the tempera-
tupe in large city is always higher
than in the immediate vicinity out
side.
The drainage of swamps seems to
favor wider oscillations Of tempera-
ture, both upward and downward,
than were noticeable before, but with
out seriously affecting the average for
the month or year. Forests, 1t is con-
ceded. slightly cool the air in sum-
mer, but whether they increase the
rainfall, and to what extent, has not
been positively determined. This is
question about which there has been
wide differences of opinion.

EXCESSIVE LUMBER RATES.
Sound Schooners New Charge $3.50
Per 1000 Feet.

Sound Schooners New Charge $S.oO
Per 1000 Feet.
OF the exorbitant freight rate
charged by coast schooners on lumber
shipments from the sound southwark
the Seattle News of Tuesday says:
Lumber rates today reached the
highest point in the history Of Puget
sound. Owners OF steam schooners
which carry lumber from Puget
sound ports south are now asking
$3.50 per 1000 feet.
l.. II. Gray, of the L. H. Gray
Steamship company, who is an exten-
sive operator of lumber carriers, today
stated that he fully expects to see the
rate advanced to between 50 and $40.
There are 80 steam schooners in the
lumber trade on Puget sound at pres
ent and all the craft are taxed to full
est capacity to handle the trade.
The abnormal increase is due to
several causes. All the schooners
have advanced wages during the pres
ent season. Extra men have been
added to the crews. Sailors have re-
ceiyed an advance of 10 per cent, and
engineers have been raised 20 pei
cent.
Formerly it was possible for schoon-
ers to charge the low rate Of $S.7l
per 1000 feet and make money, but II
is doubtful If, under present condi'
tions, charge of SIS per 1000 feet
would enable owners to continue ir
the trade at a profit. Increased ex-
pcnses and the scarcity of bottoms
have raised the rate to the highes
point and at present there is no indi'
/ cation of a decrease.

wasl,lngton,s oontribution.

Washington state contributed $494,-
1872 to federal reclamation during the
last fiscal year, the total to the states
credit in that year being $3,545,615 at
the close of the year, June 80 last. A
statement just made public shows the
total amount of the fund on the date
named was $32,95S,192, of which $4,-
862,01S was added last year.
Washington's restricted fund, 81
per cent OF the amount it has contrib
uted to the fund, which must be ex-
pended in the state, is $1,S0S,06S, and
allotments already made by Secretary
Hitchcock exceed this amount. The
allotment for the OkaHogaa project
is $500, 600 for the reclamation of 81
900 acre. The Tieton allotment is ST.
100000, and that for the Sunnyside
project is $1.10O,000. The amount Of
land to be reclaimed under these two
projects is $4,000 acres. These are
only units of what is known as the
Yakima project, the completion Of
which involves the expenditure of an
additional $9,500,000, with a total of
100000 acres of land destined for re-
clamation. An allotment of 100000
has also been made for irrigation on
the Yakima Indian reservation

The ProbIern at yakima.

The plumbers of North Yakima are
still agitating the question of asking
higher wages. They want scale Of
SIS for an eight-hour day enforced. 1t
Is probable that the rules In force in
Spokane will be forced upon the build
ing trades In this city. These rules
have been such in Spokane that when
a plumber starts out to do a piece OF
work he is to work at least two days
on it, Notwithstanding it would take
him only one hour. A modification of
this rule was made last week in Spo-
kane by permitting man to work as
long as he pleases on job and COM
plete it as quickly as possible If he
wishes.
Some of the contractors of the city
are kicking already about the high
prices of building material and labor.
1t costs now about 40 per cent more
to build than it did three years ago.
Part of this rise is in lumber, part In
labor and part in other material. A
rule is being considered by the car
penters to make the wage scale uni
form at $3.50, whether man is a
journeyman or hatchet-and- saw
carpenter. With the price OF plumb
ing bound to go UP, the increase OF
carpenters wages possible and the
certainty OF lumber going higher,
building in Yakima I'm the future will
be beyond the reach of many people.

NEW SOUTH WALES SHEEP.

writes that returns Of the autumn and
winter lambing in New south Wales
show that Of the 1890 600 ewes IN
the sSate on December 90 last a.
77s,o00, or about 81 per cent, were
used for the earlier Iambing.
In those districts in which the lamb
ing took place In the autumn, 1o.sss,-
600 ewes gave birth to S,470,00
lambs. or percentage of SIN, and
Of these It is expected that 7,7s4,7 ,7s0
will be marked. From the winter
lambing 1,905.200 lambs resulted.
The probable markings are set down
at 1,75s.250. 1t win be seen. there-
fore, that for the autumn and winter
lambing no less than 12,779, 900 ewes
have been requisitioned.
The lambs born numbered 10,s76,-
900, or 81 per cent, and IT Is estimat-
ed that the probable markings will
reach s,544,000. or nearly go per cent
of the total lambs born. According
to tie returns collected by the govern
ment statistician, the sheep on Decem-
ber 81, 1905, numbered 3s,506,764,
and after making due allowance for
local food requirements, export, and
losses. it is reasonable to suppose that
the sheep In this state at the close OF
the year will range from As to 46
millions.

BEAUTIEs OF INpIyIDUAL1sM.

Mrs. Mary Donnegan, nearly starv-
ed, helpless and enduring agony from
rheumatism, was found yesterday in
her rooms, where her aged mothers
dead body had lain for three days,
says a New York dispatch.
Mrs. Donnegan and her mother,
Mrs. Catherine Ryan, aged "a, lived
alone in apartments in Brooklyn
Mrs. Ryan had long been an invalid,
and her daughter, chronic sufferer
from rheumatism. An attack Friday
crippled Mrs. Donnegan so that she
could not move, and while she was in
this condition her mother died.
Mrs. Donnegan cried for help, but
no one IN the sparsely tenanted house
heard her. So she lay helpless with
the dead until yesterday when she
managed to reach window and
summoned help. Mrs. Donnegan was
removed to a hospital. She is in a
critical condition.
