Angeles today. but only slow trains will
be run, as the track is in such condi-
ton that it would not be safe to send
out the fast trains.
Trains Nos. 10 and % will be started
for the south today and will travel
cautiously.
The line over the Sierras is open,
though it was showing heavily all
day yesterday. At noon there were

woMAN's SENSE OF HONOR.
Her Special Code for Conduct Toward
Her Husband.

From the Pail Mall Gazette
well-known American warder said to
me: II have been in prisons for men and in
prisons for women. Discipline in the for
mer is chld's play compared with the lat
ter. AS soon as a man realizes there is no
use of resisting, he gives in. But the women,
even when we put them in straitjackets,
always manage to extricate at least one
finger and to agitate that in a rebelious
manner"
In the manner of conduct toward hus-
bands and consideration due to the better
half" there is an especial code of honor.
1t has the stability that sanction by women
of all countries gives it, but 1t does not re-
semble any code that a man would observe
toward another man, nor which a woman
would employ toward any human except
her husband. This code includes the right
to search pockets, consult notebooks, open
letters, read those already opened 1t in
cludes the right to confound household and
personal accounts, to use on self the money
Intended by the master of the house for
paying bills. This system is not frequently
practiced, perhaps, and less frequently ad-
mtted, no doubt. yet we remember one
newly married woman who announced as a
little triumph: when 1 buy for myself
something l don't like 1 just sell 1t to the
house"
The peculiar indulgence which the con-
jugal state seems to call for as regards the
weaker sex in matters of honor more or
less delicate was thus strikingly sum-
married by philanthropist accustomed to
all sorts and conditions of people. Among
the poor whom she visited there was a
woman who in a fit of rage jealousy
had killed a man. In relating to me the
case the philantropist concluded sadly:
Yes, she killed him, and he wasn't even
her husband!''

Protecting Famous Game Bird.
From Leslie's Weekly.

One of the most notable enterprises in
the way of introducing valuable birds from
abroad into this country is now under way
in the west The Phasian bird, which was
the name given by the ancient Greeks and
Romans to the pheasant because it was
said to have been brought from Phasis to
Colchis by Jason in the famous ship Argo
is being imported in large numbers into the
United States from England, China, Bel
GUM and other foreig. countries by Mr.
w F. Kendrick of Denver. Col. If the
works is properly encouraged and the birds
protected by law for a few years, the
United States will be filed with the hardi-
est and most beautiful feathered creatures
in the world. Pheasants are but little
known to the great mass Of people Of the
United States; but in European countries.
where this gorgeous bird was introduced by
the Roman DICTIONARIES before the Christian
era there is no fowl so universally adj
mired The kings Of England, in the olden
days, went hawking for pheasants, and to-
day pheasant shooting in England is con-
sidered the most royal of sports. Pleas
ants are the finest of all game birds; their
plumage delights the eye of the artist;
their swift fight and gameness inspire the
hunter to bring all his faculties into play;
the eye of the epicure brightens when the
bird is brought before him at the table.

CALLS 1T A PIPE DREAM.
Official So Designates Stories About
Certain Smoking Tobacco.

IT. PAUL, MINI. July 19.-Acting Com
missioner John McCabe in the absence of
Commissioner Slater of the pure food de-
partment has declared that the stories gen.
orally circulating through the northwest
derogatory to several standard brands of
smoking tobacco were entirely without
foundation, In so far, at least, as the COM
mission was concerned. The stories which,
under the circumstances, appear to be libel
ous cite imaginary analysis in which
one well-known brand was found to have
no tobacco at all, the greater part being
common brown paper, and that an equally
popular brand was only 10 per cent to-
baCco.
1T would be interesting to know where
such report originated" said Acting Com
missioner McCabe, las we certainly have
made no analysis of the kind. Whether the
big four brands in question are made out
of tobacco or not, the stc'y of our having
rendered such verdict is made out of
whole cloth. If, however, American man
ufacturers can successfully transmnte
brown paper into tobacco, why bother ahont
the Havana article any longer? No. soma
body has been dreaming

THE GREATEST BRIDGE.
Cost $50, 100000 and Is Most stupen'
dous Engineering Problem.

OOuS engineering 11ooAS1"
From the New Broadway Magazine.
The magnitude of the projected HUDSON
river bridge does not at first strike the I'M
thinking person; but when it does strike 1t
comes with a breathless, aerial significance.
1t will be the eighth wonder of the world
and the eyes of foreign engineers are turned
to New York with expectancy.
The plans of the new structure are prac-
ticallv those of the original North river
project It was long step from 1''Vo
foot span (then and still the longest in the
vorld) to over 5000 feet, the distance to be
covered between the piers on either SIDE OF
the broad Hudson. To make bridge almost
double the length of the BROOKLYN prloge
meant building the towers nearly twice as
high. and in order to allow for additional
roadways and tracks the brldge OF oouple
length must be also twice as "ioe. linus
the proposition involved was really very
much more than building a bridge with q
donhie.Ieneth span-for three dimensions
had to be considered, making the entire
structure nearly eigh. times as large as the
Brooklyn bridge.
At first other engineers were loath to be-
lieve that modern materials made possible
so great a bridge. But the entire profession
il now agreed that the bridge Is possible
and practicable; and their estimates of con-
struction cost vary between $S5,OOO.OOO and
$40 600, 600, depending upon the number of
tJacks and the carrying capacity desig-
mated. These figures do not include the
cost of approa ches or of right-ofway.
n ia an astonishing feat that Is contem-
Mated this of suspending between steel
towers, distant more than half mile. eight
great railway tracks and four driveways:
As triumph of engineering the work will
have no equal. There will be four stupen-
dous towers at the piers, each suggesting in
appearance the celebrated Eiffel tower.

Horrid War.
roland Plain Dealer.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
For hours the Nicaraguan army had been
beating up the bush in an attempt to locate
the enemy. Then Gen. Stefano Pinquirillo
called council of war. The eleven full
major generals gathered around The dark
browed Napoleon of the chaparral, while
the thirtytwo brigader generals stayed
back with the seventeen prfvates.
Soldiers" said the commander-in-chief
as he dexterously drew a brambe thorn
from the sole of his dusky foot, the time
for action is here"
But where is the enemy?" interrupted
Cen Henrique Mendoza.
The commander frowned so severely that
he broke a sun blister under his left eye.
Shall il be said that a Nicaraguan ever
hesitated to go into battle because OF the
absence of the enemy?' he harshly demand
ed Then without pausing for a reply he
shook out the chen lie fringe on his single
epaulet and slightly tightening the hilt of
his scabbardless sword, arose to his full
height of four feet seven, and harshly
shouted. Forward"
The eleven major generals yawned fur
lively. and. lighting their bena cigarros,
sauntered back to the thirty-two brigadierS
and the seventeen privates, and the army
again took up its wear.some march through
the thorny chaparral

SLEEP AND DEATH.
Neither Pain Nor Consciousness at the
Instant of Either.

From the Cosmopolitan.
The phenomenon called sleep may be
summed up in the following propositions:
"First-Sleep is temporary death of the
functions of the sensitive system, due to
exhaustion by fatigue
Secondly-This death is temporary because
the vital system continues to perform its
functions during sleep and restores the SEN
sitive organs to their normal condition.
For our purpose death may be considered
under the three heads, natural death. sud
den death and death from disease. Natural
death is death from old age IL diners
from natural sleep only in degree
The gradual loss of sensibility by the
sensitive organs which precedes sleep no"
taboo n,ace in the vital system and all the
organs pass into permanent steep tosetner.
Thara can be no pain preceding or at the
non,ent of such death. any more than
there is pain preceding and at the moment
of passing into temporary sleep: soo.,
Sudden death may be defined as death
duo TO a sudden injury from without or
within the body sufficient to destroy at
once all irritability of both the sensitive and
vital systems. 1t requires no argument to
nroye that person who is suddenly strick
en- dead can suffer no pain. The element of
time must be present in order to suffer
physical pain, and in the sudden death of
person the element of time is absent
We come now to consider the third and by
far the most frequent form OF death, name
ly death from disease.
AS soon as disease is established dying be-
gins, which is but more rapid than nat
ural ceasing of all sensiblities, accompa-
MED with more or less suffering. according
to the cause which produces it. This dying
and suffering, called disease, must termi-
nate either in so-called death, which is in
sensible to 1t, or in recovery, which is re-

THE SOUTHERN GRoCERS.
j. A. Van Hoose, Birmingham Grocer

BALTIMORE, July 19.-After hard
fought fight. which lasted for several hours
the Southern Wholesale Grocers' Association
concluded its sixteenth ami u convention
at the Maryland Theater yesterday after
noon by re-electing Mr.. ]. A. Van Hose of
Birmingham, Ala. president.
The rival candidate was Mr.. Dorsey H.
White of Memphis, who had the solid back
ing of the large Memphis delegation. When
the final vote was counted it stood: Van

After The result had been announced Mr..
Van HOSES election made unani-
nous.

liams, Lynchburg Va; Adolph Geyer Lit
tie Rock, Ark; A. Med Wilson, Atlanta,
Ga, and ]. b. Rogers. Wilmington, H.. C.
In point of interest the election of presi-
dent was the main feature of the conven-
ton. which was in session three days. 1t
was said that the element favoring the
election of new man over Mr.. Van Hoose,
who has been president for six years was
the strongest in half decade. Indeed,
many of Mr.. Van HOSES friends were
fearful of his defeat, and the adherents of
Mr. White were boasting that they would
elect their man
A number of the delegates left last night
for their homes in the south, while a few
others went to Philadelphia. Atlantic City
and New York to see the sights. Every one
expressed himself and herself as delighted
with the stay in Baltimore and all hoped
that the time would come again when they

Former Baltimorean Kills Himself.

BALTIMORE, July 19.-Donald Cameron,
sol Madison avenue, has received informa
ton from Silver City, S. D., that Charles
Seip, formerly of Baltimore, committed sui
eide in that city last week. Mr.. Seip left
Baltimore in 1877 to prospect for gold and
silver in South Dakota He remained in
South Dalota, and was postmaster and pro-
prietor of a general store in Silver City
at the time of his death. He never mar
ried, but has married sister in Baltimore.
When Mr. Cameron was in Silver City in
1902, he became acquainted with Mr.. Seip.
Information as to Mr.. Seips death was re-
ceived by Mr.. Cameron from the mutual
acquaintance who introduced them.
