his atheism, Amos Clark, aged 40
years, living on Lewiston reservation

There is no God"

Tillman declared the negro problem

The famous politicians frequent

PiIing 1t Up.

The Great Northern Express Com
pany should have tender place in
its heart for Wenatchee.
In all the talk of bumper crops
and speedy fortunes made in fruit,
few people pause and give any
thought to what the common carriers
are making out of the transportation
business.
News has just leaked out, how
ever, that up to September Goth, the
local express company has received
for shipping fruit $23, 900 more than
during the same period last season.
The company also estimates that
by October 1st this excess will have
reached $27, 900.
So other people than the produc-
er and buyer have reason to be inter
ested in the size of Wenatchee's an
nual crop.

some better form of nocturnal illum-

police purposes, also. few strong
arc lights might well be placed at
the intersection of cross streets with
Wenatchee avenue, for a distance of
six or seven blocks through the
heart of the business district.
1t is estimated that at present the
city pays SIS per month to the elec-
trio company for street lighting.
Arc lamps of 1000 candle power
can be secured for 500 each par
month. And by removing the pres
ent small incandescent lamps from
the avenue and replacing them with
lamps, the city's principal streets
could be satisfactorily lighted at an
additional cost of not more than 800
per month.
An agitation looking to this i'm
provement in the city lighting has
been started, and the plan will short
ly be taken before the council.

ATLANTIC county's grand jury refused
to indict the aged bridge tender, who was
held to answer for the accident on the
drawbridge which resulted in cars on the
new trolley jumping the track, with loss
of life. The people generally will ap.
plaud the action of the jury in removing
from the name of the old man the stigma
that was temporarily placed there. The
jury pronounced the construction of the
bridge faulty. This would seem to put
the blame on the railroad company, but
no indictment was found against the cor
poration. The Atlantic City Press says:
The public in general read with approval
the action of the Grand Jury in exonera-
ting Bridgetender Stewart and placing the
blame, so far as it could, on the.shoulders
of the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad
Company. That any official of the road
was going to be indicted never was given
serious consideration by the public. The
effect of the presentment will be to place
the odium of the fearful accident that
cost sixty or so lives, on the shoulders of
the corporation, and the reflection on the
officials of the road for not constructing
proper equipment

BRAIN QUALITY.

II IL of just as Much Importance ~
the Quantity.
The brain of Daniel Webster weigh
ed ffty-six or 1fty-seven ounces, that
of Napoleon Bonaparte about the same.
This Is about three pounds and half.
These were exceeded by the brain of
Cuvier, the great French naturalist,
which weighed between fifty-nine and
sixty ounces, and that Of the French
surgeon Dupuytren, which weighed
fifty-eight ounces. The average
weight of the brain of man is about
fifty ounces and of women forty
five ounces. The maximum weight of
the healthy adult brain Is about sixty
four ounces and the minimum thirty
one ounces. Men of great Intellectual
power have generally If not always
possessed large brains. The quality of
the brain is, however, quite as impor-
tant as the quantity, so that a large
brain does not of necessity constitute
a great man. The size of the brain is
not in proportion to the physical de-
velopment of the body, either In ami
mails or in man. The horse has brain
less In weight than the smallest adult
human brain; that of a whale seventy
five feet long was found to weigh not
quite twice as much as that of a man.
Even in men there is no fixed relation
between the size of the body and that
of the brain. A small man may have
a large brain and big man a small
brain.
