ANOTHER OF THOSE Horizons PERPE-
TRATED BY A WEALTHY NABoB.-Stan-
ford White, one of New York's leading
architects, who drew the plans OF the
Portland Hotel, in our neighboring
State, was killed in New York, Mon
day night, by Harry Thaw, a rich lib
ertine, both wealth and disposition
being acquired by inheritance. 1t
seems he was jealous of White, not for
acts committed after he had married
chorus girl. Florence Nesbitt, but for
supposed relations that had existed
before she became the wife of Thaw.
As the murderer is q rich man, he will
doubtless be accorded farcical trial
and escape the chair. It is said that
soon as he was lodged in the tombs a
delegation of doctors we're provided by
his vigilant counsel to discover and
possibly develop symptoms of mental
unbalance. They found him to be in
. condition of emotional insanity"
and to possess marked indications OF
"incipient paresis"-want of strength.
1t is unfortunate that the paralysis.
which generally accompanies it. had
not stricken the hand that aimed the
weapon and the finger that pulled the
trigger, before outraging the public

mitted in Madison Square roof theater,

Whites genius as an architect.

Recently an amateur snake charmer
rented q plot of ground in Spokane
and set to work with a bag containing
about fifty different varieties OF snakes,
charging ten cents admission to his
tent. Business must have been good,
for on the second day the snake charm
er got drunk, went to sleep without
closing the mouth of the snake bag,
and nearly all OF the snakes, some of
them rattlers, are at large in that
quarter of the city, where to-day the
rustling of a paper sack sends the
loungers scuttliug to the center OF the
street. Wednesday Fred Smith, por-
ter OF the Old Crow saloon, discovered
two OF them, and they are now on
exhibition, but the others lurk in Gel
lars and behind boxes, while the city,
lacking an official snake catcher, is
helpless. 1t is safe to say that women
avoid that vicinity.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June %.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June %.
Congress is talking about an ad.
iournment by July LIST. If it does, it
will have to hustle. But it ia hustling
somewhat. There is the Meat Bill,
the Rate Bill, the Panama Canal Bill
and the Sundry Civil Bill carrying
only little over a hundred millions,
to say nothing OF a number OF lesser
appropriation bills and other meas
ures that many would like to see pass
but which have a very faint show. The
rate bill is OF course the most import
ant measure OF the lot. 1t is now in
conference and is not expected to get
out before the first or the middle of
next week and if possible its friends
will put off vote on it till the very
last days OF the session to head off the
Hood of orstory that it would other
wise evoke and which probably would
result, even at this late day, in again
sending it back to conference.
1t is said at the capitol that there
are really only three amendments
which are giving serious trouble. These
are the ones declaring pipe lines COM
mon carriers, the so called "commod.
ity amendment prohibiting railroads
from dealing in the commodities they
transport, and the amendment requir-
ing five days notice to be given the
Interstate Commerce Commission be-
fore fixing hearing where an in
junction has been invoked setting
aside an order of the commission.
There is a considerable fight also
over the anti-pass amendment, and it
looks as though this might be settled
in q way that would be joke on the
members of Congress. 1t has been
suggested that the amendment be
redrawn to prohibit the issuing OF
passes to members Of Congress, Presi-
Dental electors and persons in the
employ OF the executive departments.
1t is quite possible that the suggestion
will be followed, and if SO the Con-
gressmen who have been carefully
boarding their mileage and riding ON
passes will have to spend some real
money in the way that the appropria.
ton bill contemplates but that they
never did.
There is little joke in connection
with the Sundry Civil Appropriation
bill. Chairman Tawney and his col.
leagues on the committee wanted to be
very economical and they were looping
off 100000 here and 100000 there
as they went through the estimates
without any particular regard to who
was hurt by the reduction. They
found matter OF $200,O00 in the ap.
preparation for the U. S. Geological
Survey for gauging streams and
promptly cut it out. 1t looked as
though there could be no particular
objection to retrenchment in that
spot. But to the surprise of the com.
mittee, they found that they had wiped
out at one blow whole and very i'm

IL seems that this work of measuring
stream flow, calculating the flood dis.
charge OF rivers, dealing with river
pollution, the amount of sediment
carried and like matters, has become
very important part of the SURVEYS
work. 1t touches all the municipalities
that are putting in new water works
or enlarging old ones. 1t affects COM
mittees where fish are being killed by
stream pollution, or water rendered
unfit for drinking purposes. The State
health officers all over the country are
interested in it, and the records that
have been accumulated in the past
ten years have saved the country hun.
dreds OF thousands of dollars on many
pieces OF river and harbor improve
ment. When the appropriation had
been once knocked out by the House
there was small hope for it, but Sena-
tor Tillman managed to get it inserted
in the Senate Bill when that was
passed. incidentally the Senate
tackled on over 100000 worth of
other items, and though the bill goes
to conference it is q question whether
there will be time to consider many
of the items very carefully and most
OF them will probably stay in.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama, is this
week celebrating his SD birthday, and

being Allison and Hale, both New

from his own State, showing that the
South appreciates continuance of SER
vice. Senator Morgan, while he is one
OF the old men of the Senate, is al
most as active as II man of fifty and he
this week delivered two-hour speech
on the subject of tho Panama Canal

about the subject. He has been in

LIVES WITH BROKEN NEcK-A man
died the other day in New York hos
pital whose atiliction is said to be one
OF the most remarkable that ever came
to the attention of the medical frater-
nifty. II was the case OF William Kes.
sler, whose neck was broken last Au-
gust, while engaged in street work.
He was IS years of age, and the sur.
geons succeeded in uniting the broken
parts of the vertebra, but were unable
to relieve pressure On the spinal cord,
which produced paralysis of the entire
nervous system. and, while his brain
worked clearly, he could not move q
muscle below the neck. He thus lived
on for nearly ten months, subssting
on liquid food, until death finally en-
sued from complete degeneration of
the nervous system. When he entered
the Bellevue Hospital he weighed $50
pounds and at the end he was bare
skeleton. 1t is said to be one of the
most remarkable cases ever entered
upon hospital records.
