J Said on The Streets.

appears that he found 1t necessary
the other day to make several calls
at places Of business about the city
and at every one of them he found
a rush on. He inquired the cause at
one or two places and found that there
was nothing unusual, just the days
routine of work, and he was very
much surprised. He told me in a
rather confidential way that he was
more than surprised for, he said, he
had begun to think his establishment
was the only real busy place in the
city-but he found there were others
just as busy"
"A man who comes here as Wis
itor is struck with the busy appear
ance of the streets said Fatty,
Everybody seems to be in hurry to
get somewhere as quickly as possible
and there is no strolling and lettering
along the streets as is generally the
case in a small town--and as was said
just now there are no 1oarers hold
ing up the corners"
"The clean streets and sidewalks
are an attractive feature here also"
said The Man From the East, land
now that the city has made permanent
arrangements to have the streets
swept and sprinkled two or three
times a day they will be still more at

state, anyway and when the work
now under way is finished she will be
the best"

CAPTAIN SWIFT,

Regret and sympathy will be aroused by the announcement that Captain William Swift. who was in command of the battlesilip Connecti- cut when she ran upon a shoal near Culebra last January, has been found guilty of negligence in connection with that mishap and subjected to a serious penalty, At the same time Captain Swlfts friends will be grati- fled, and we hope that he himself will be consOled, by the action of the court in unanimously recommending him to the clemency of the revising power, lin view of the long service of the ae- cused, his excellent and honorable re- cord and his previous exceptionally valuable services to the government. ," It is, of course, imperative, as the ser cretary of the navy says, in adopting this recommendation and reducing the sentence, that the captain of a war vessel should be held to strict re- sponsibility for the safety of the ship and its officers and men; but we are sure that all who have knowledge of Captain Swifts devoted service, per feet rectitude and high sense of duty and honor will lament the necessity of inflieting punishment on an officer whose record of efficiency and faith fitness entities him to the respect of the country,-New York Tribune.

TOO INoIrIsIrIvE.

Regarding the public agitation for baths in elementary schools, an inter- esting story is going the round of court circles of a recent experience of the Emperor Francis Joseph. His Majesty was visiting school in a small coun- try district, when a rather officious To- cal official, anxious to impress the sov- ereign with the progressive ideas pre- vailing in the community, called his att tention to the fact that the school house was provided with baths for the scholars
 The emperor showed the liveliest in terest, and immediately asked to be shown the bathroom, whereupon the director of the school looked extreme ly uncomfortable. The key could not be found for some time, and his Majes- ty began to get impatient. Finally 1t was produced, and the eager official opened the door, and the emperor stepped into a veritable lumber room filled with choice collection of broken desks and chairs and waste paper com pletely hiding the bath equipment. Stepping quickly out again, the distin- guished visitor was overheard to mnr- mur: Serves me right; why was I SC inquisitive ?'-Vienna Correspondence of the Pail Mall Gazette.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CASTRO.

THE TRUTH ABOUT CASTRO.
 The greatest accusation brought against the president of Venezuela by his enemies, both political and journal istic. is that he is an arch grafter. His greatest offense is that he parcels out concessions and contrcts to his friends, and that lie has no hesitation in squeez- ing foreign corporations openly. He is as active in his attentions to business as Mir Roosevelt or Emperor William, and, from the South American point of view, as strenuous. Without the mili- tary prestige and direction of Castro
 Venezuela would tumble to pieces and
 revolution enrich the few and impov-
 erish the many. It is marvellous how
 the personality of Castro dominates all
 thought and expression concerning the
 country; his figure and his conduct lend
 themselves to cartoon, yet the man himself Is seldom touched on or ser iously examined. What may be his am- bitons no one seems accurately to know; he works diligently and to a purpose, and has accomplished results
 which for 15 years seemed unattainable.
 He has undoubtedly destroyed the free dom of speech, an no newspaper which would print attacks on the government
 police could live day within the na- ton; no spoken criticism against the
 government is uttered aloud and an nouncement is posted in the railway
 station that politics must not be dis cussed within station confines; there- | fore 1t Is difficult to obtain frank opinion on his conduct or his motives yet within the past year the bitterness | against him has in a large measure giv-
 en place to hope and to a serious con | viction that Castro is seriouly patriotic
 It is not popular view in the United 1 States, but 1t is worth attention. have 1 talked With prominent men of Caracas
 La Victoria, Maracal, Valencia, and Puerto Cabello when they were sure that the conversation was not to be re- ported. English, German, French and | yenezuelans have contributed their i'm pressions, which all begin with peace
 and end with Castro.-Albert Hale in the Reader.

COUNTERFEIT MAPLE SUGAR.

Maple sugar is in reality the same as cane or beet sugar, plus a small percentage of mineral substances and an indescribable aroma of dell- cacy of taste So it has remained for man to counterfeit maple sugar, and to attempt to add to sirups of ordi- mary sugars such favors that the mind of the epieure breakfastlng off buck wheat cakes reverts to the old sugar camp where he spent the early spring time of his boyhood days. He has lmade many limitations; some of them he has even dared to register in the patent office as discoveries of the se- lcret old mother nature told the maple tree, but none of them, though they make good sirup, have made maple sirup except at the sugar orchard of sap drawn through spile, caught in bucket, and boiled down over fra grant wood fires.
 The States that have tried to sur press these frauds have found that practically all the maple sugar and sirup on the market is adulterated; that if pure goods do leave the farm house they are later so mixed and di- luted with cane sugar that all of the original character is lost. Of 100 sam pies of maple sugar analysed by one State chemist he found but two pure; 9S were cane-sugar sirups color ed with caramel (burnt sugarl, and

LOOK orr FOR HUGHES.

MT. Hughes is not prosecuting his campaign with a brass band. Ho is- sues no tirades to the press. He is working quietly but unfalteringly to- ward the end he demands. When hon- esty and ability are combined in a high degree in a prominent public of
 ficial he becomes an involuntarily but dangerous rival of the studied place hunter. It was such qualities as these which forced Abraham Lincoln Grover Cleveland and Theodore Roosevelt to the foreground, despite the machirla- tions of the machine. A word to Mr. Fairbanks, ct al.: Look out for Hughes The American people cannot always be lured or driven. They are honest and keen, however, and sometimes do their own choosing Every once in a while they flock to this orlthat leader on ac- count of ''the enemies he has made" Hughes ably and unswervingly fighting the forces of graft at Albany, Is infinite- ly more of presidential possibility than the man who is swinging around the circle" or girding himself for primary fight Worcester Gazette.

LEAD BORING INSECTS

In January, 1891, attention was dl- .rected in Germany to the damage caused to a lead pipe by the larva of the wood wasp (sirex gigas) woich was found in situ. The insect, in at tempting to eat its way through the woodwork, made such a determined attack upon an intervening pipe as to result in a leakage. It was stated at the time that well authenticated in- stances of similar injuries to lead were on record. In a recent issue of the Western Electrician mention is made of insects which have been found to be the cause of trouble by boring holes in the lead sheaths of cables of the signaling system used at one qf the packing plants at Chicago, and il- lustration are given of the insects and of the damaged cable. It would ap- pear likely that the culprit in this case is the larva of some species of der- nests, the we'll known bacon bettle, and enlarged representations of the larvae and of the bettles are shown. It Is mentioned that these insects seem to abound in the places where the injury occurred, which are devot- ed to the storage of bones and hoofs.
 In connection with this matter 1t is observed that in the middle of 1904 there was a report of aerial cables pierced in Shanghai by species of wasp and allusion is made to a paper containing many instances of perfor- ations produced in this way read by John Hesketh at the International Electrical Congress in St, Louis in the same year, when much information was collected concerning the ravages of insects liable to cause injuries to electric cables. Thus we read of q caterpillar which has been known to bore a hole nearly a quarter of an inch in diameter through lead cov- cred conductor. It is difficult in cer- tain of these cases to determine the object of the Insects in such attacks. It is not certainly the lead whieh is the attraction, but something in the insulating material must be tempting to them.-From the London Times.

HOW THE CLOTHES ARE WASH

 The Bohemian monthly or bimonth- ly family wash goes to the creek" as 1t has for centuries. The process be- gins with soaking the clothes over night or longer at the house. Then, in great wooden tubs, the are carried upon the backs of temale servants or professional "wash-frausH tc the ehos- en creek and rinsed thoroughly.

FEARS PHYSICIANS;
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Woman Believes She VIII Be Prose-
cuted for Practcing Medicine
and Takes Large Dose
of Morphine

Fearing that members of the police
department were investigating to learn
if she was practicing medicine without
a license, Mrs Mary Greene, said to be
the wife of a former prominent ply
sician of Chicago and who is said to
have been practicing medicine in Los
Angeles for about two years, last night
made an unsuccessful attempt to COM
nit suicide by taking a large dose of
morphine in her apartments at 624 East
Fifth street
The woman was found by her land
lady lying unconscious in her office.
The police surgeons were at once noti-
fed and the ambulance was sent to the
house. When Mrs. Greene was taken
to the receiving hospital she was still
unconscious and remained in that state
during the greater part of the night.
1t is said that the woman has been
addicted to the use of drugs for some
time, and has frequently taken such
large doses that she nearly lost her life
as a result. Yesterday DR.. c. e. An
derson and DIR. William Weber called
at her Office, having heard she was i'll.
The woman is said to have become
suspicious that they were intending to
prosecute her for practicing medicine
without a license. A few hours after
they left she was heard moaning and
was found by her landlady.

name as leader in the movement to
nominate all candidates by direct vote,
an idea which was adopted by his
state three years ago.
Physically a light weight, intellec-

Water and Electricity

Special to The Herald.
RHYOLITE, New, April 23.-The
I. ssent is one of the most eventful
months in the history of the south
western desert, for it not only marks
the entrance of the Brock road into
Beatty, but of electric light systems
into Rhyolite and of water into Lee,
while throughout the Bullfrog district
the effects are shown of the Goldfield
strike in that for the first time eastern
investors have learned to differentiate
between the various Nevada camps.
The fare from Los Angeles for the
round trip has been marked down to
500, and will practically hold good for
the Shriners who make the trip to Los
Angeles from the desert country.
With the Shriners and the railroad
excursionists both on the road the
month will be a heavy one in Nevada.
The new electric light plant in Rhy-
olite is complete and the engines are
now being tested. Power will be turned
on before the end of the month and
will also be supplied to Beatty as soon
as lines can be run over the hills.
Probably the item Of greatest inter-
est is the discovery of water at Lee.
At the present time water retails in
the Funeral mountains at from 81 to
$3.50 a barrel and the supply must all
be hauled by wagon or packed by
burros across sixteen miles of desert
Three miles east of Lee the water
discovered unexpectedly, promises to
be of sufficient quantity to settle the
problem of domestic use for al time
although it is DOUBTFUL whether
amounts sufficient for milling purposes
can be developed.
