and as the incline grew more steep
at last the smoking horses came to

"What is 1t, Pat?- What Is II? Did

His left hand was badly burned and he was carried Co his room on the third floor, where his wounds were dressed. At late hour last night he was reported as resting easy.

JAP HUMAN NONCONDUCTOR.

Las Vegas IN. M Dispatch to Philadelphia
Inquirer.
Playing with death and laughing
when it reached out to claim him
for it's own, Hakkadote, a Jap
employe at the Hotel Castineda,
was found at s o'clock last night
holding a live electric wire in his
hands and touching the rails of
the street car trolley, carrying 49,
900 volts of electricity.
When electricians came to repair
the break, which had been caused
by the wire burning in two, they
would not touch it until the power
had been shut down, but the Jap
stood there with it in his hand,
gleefully thrusting it at them and
laughing when they sprang back.
"It was the greatest wonder in
the world he was not killed out
right" said the chief electrician.
''The only way that | can account
for it is that the Jap is human
nonconductor, or else that God

DRINK NOW AND THEN.

The house of representatives
has gone on record as opposed to a
man getting drunk, but perfectly
willing for him to take drink
every now and then. This express
ion came out in a discussion of
one of the features of the Holder
convict bill, the original section
proposing that no guards for con-
victs be employed who did not to-
tally abstain from the use of in
toxlcating liquors ss a beverage.
By amendment, this section was
made to read that no guard shall
be employed who drinks intoxi-
eating liquors to excess. This
amendment was put to vote and
passed II to 81.

tribes of Lamuts, living on the

northwestern part of Siberia. One
of the Nomads, driven desperate
by hunger, devoured the bodies of
his brothers. wife and four child

upon the deserted encampment,
found the remains of the bodies
and reported the case. There was
no vestige of food on the premises.
The brothers. body was not found
and It is not known whether he

THE SUN DO KOvE.

Will wonders never cease? Mr..
w. J. Bryan has actually extorted
from that bitter personal enemy,
the New York Sun, the following
comment on his tariff speech at
Des Moines:
cit would be unfair net to re-
cognize the moderation of Ian
guage, the apparent candor of tone,
the directness, and suaviuy of
statement and the clearness of ar
gument which distinguish this and
other recent addresses Of Mr. Bryan
from the often frenzied rhetoric of
his earlier production"
And this from another inimical
New York journal, the Times:
'But nobody can deny that his
speech at Des Moines yesterday
was effective. 1t was, in fact, the
most effective and soundest speech
the man ever made. Much
that he says is quite beyond dis
proof or denial. We recall no
other public utterance of his of
which that might be said"
Can there longer be any doubt
but that it is a new, saner and
safer Bryan that is leading the
Democracy in his third race for
the Presidential prize ?-Macon
