MAY FORFEIT LANDS.
Congress Authorizes important Suit
Against Hartman Railroads.

WASHINGTON, April q. BY the
overwhelming vote of PAS to eight, the
house adopted today without amend.
ment, the senate joint resolution au.
thorizing the attorney general to file
suits against the Oregon and Califor.
mia Railway company for forfeiture
OF part Of 2,so0. 900 acres Of land
grants in the western part of Oregon.
1t is claimed by the government, by
reason of breeches and violations Of
acts making the grants, that the rail.
roads had forfeited all right to the
land in question.
The land lies along the Oregon &
California railroad and was granted
to the company in 1866. Before being
patented the government amended the
grant 90 that the company would be
forced to sell patches of ten acres at
$3.50 per acre to actual settlers.
Since 1898 the Hartman manage.
ment is alleged to have sold 1000, 900
acres for as much as go an acre. The
company is holding 1900, 900 acres
as an Investment. Claiming that this
disregard Of the law has led to the
devastation of the country and de.
feated the object of settlement for
which the grant was made, the de-.
partment of justice seeks to take the
matter to the courts, but it is neces.
sary to have congress authorize the
suits.

THAW Is INSANE.

He Must Go To Asylum and be

Especial to the ARGUS.l

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, May 25.-Jus-
tice Morschauser this morning handed
down his tie isioD, dislnjs~ing the
habeas corpus writ by which Harry X.
Thaw. twice tried for the murder OF
Stanford White on Madison Square
Roof Garden, sought to get out of Mat
teawan asylum for the criminal insane.
The courI Iolds that Thaw is insane
now, fully as much as when he shot
and killed the famous architect, and
that the same wild desire to take
human life may come Upon him again,
wherefore, Thaw should be kept i'll Gus
tody and guarded.
The decision upholds the constitu-
~tionality Of the law under which JUS
tice Downing, at the end Of the second
murder trial, sent rnaw 10 ~Matteawan.
Counsel for Thaw said today they
will certain Y take the case to the
Court OF Appeals and ii defeated there,
to the United States Supreme Court.
Thaw's family are willing to spend
every cent to keep Harry from return
ing to Matteawan. HeIwill for the pres
emit remain in Duchess county jail, un-
til the final disposition Of the matter.
!, He is cheerful today, and so is Evelyn.

to be a strong bond of sympathy be-
tween the two sets, and no doubt some
ofthe mostexclusive Newporters would
swell with pride at the opportunity to
be on social terms with the Oldest and
most blue-blooded a~ristocrats in the
world. 1t is true the latter would pre-
fer not to migrate to the summer stamp
ing ground of the 400" and hence the
suggestions of DIR. Spitzka might ne
cessitate some more globe-trotting by
the Newport swells. They would
probably make no objection to a little
obstacle like that, as they have plenty
OF money to crafty their whims when
it Oma to c~ultivating the old est aris-

tensive tours will yet be made to the
Andanan and Nicobar Islands for pur-
poses of exploitation in social distinc-

NOTEWORTHY SUGGESTION.

There has been a disposition of late
on the part OF several social ~autocrats
and dictators in the American metrop-
oils to let down the bars and increase
the famous 400" to HOO by way OF
meeting broader viewpoints and de-
mands. Still the tendency to build
family trees and study the history of
the a~ristocracy is no less conspicuous
in exclusive circles. and the age OF the
houses Of blue-blood cuts just as much
figure as ever.
A Dr.. Edward Anthony Spitzka
makes somenoteworthy suggestions to
the American Philosophical society Oh
this line. He has been going into the
matter from a scientific point of view,
and no doubt what he has to say may
be of value to certain circles who at
tach great importance to the matter OF
tracing their ancestry from away back.
DIR, Spitzka wants an expedition sent
to Andeman and Nicobar stands to
study the oldest families which he de-
clares are the only survivors of the
pure ape stock from which the human
race sprang.
This is an excellent idea. Being the
Oldest these families should be entitled
to the highest consideration as the real
stuff in the aristocracy. They are
the most blue blooded of thei entire
"bunch,' and it is eminently proper
that they should continue to be select
and exclusive by persisting.in occupy
ing remoteislands where half-strainers,
and other spurious aspirants to dis
tinction in social prestige cannot easily
butt in or sneak in the back doorw when
nobody is looking.
In these old original families the
racial purity has been rigidly preserv
ed. There have been no international
matrimonial alliances, and they lave
biue-blood and pedigrees to burn,
This being the case, nc doubt some O.
the Newport set who have made a rep
utation for congeniality with promi
nent members of the monkey family a
elaborate and fabulously expensive
dinner parties will heartily approve o
DR.. Spitzka's proposition to inquire
into the origin and family trees OF thu
Andamans and Nicobars. There ough

The Care of Goldfish.

The secret of success in caring for
goldfish is to keep the water they are in
fresh and sweet. Their globe should be
emptied and it's water renewed as often
as every second day. Lift each fish out
gently in glassful Of water, empty the
globe, wash it out, then put in fresh
water and put the fish back again. Clear
sweet rainwater should be used, and its
temperature should be raised to IS Or
80 degrees by warming a part of it.
Sparkling well water is too cold for the
fish to thrive in, and too pure, for the
animalculae of rainwater forms an i'm
porta-c part of the food of these fish.
They need no other sustenance than a
very few bread crumbs sprinkled in their
water daily, for overlooking will kill
them quickly.-Housekee

HANDY LITTLE STEAM HAMMERS.
Suspended from the End of a Boom, Can
Be Swung and Used Anywhere

The usual fringe of lockers always to
be found around where such work is go
ing on now appears all day around the
excavation for the foundation of the new
building that is to go up in place Of the
old Fifth Avenue hotel, and one of the
things that the gazers find here to inter
est them is the handy little steam ham
mers used for driving down planks to
form enclosures within which the earth
is to be dug ont for foundation piers.
Commonly this sheet planking is driven
down by hand power, and they are sink
ing some of the sheeting in that way
here; but they are using also the steam
hammers.
The steam hammers for this use works
something like the steam drill except
that instead of having a drill at it's bust
ness end it has a hammer and instead of
being set in a fixed position it is sus-
pended by a tackle from the end of a
derrick boom.
The hammer outfit is about feet long,
consisting of frame within the upper
part of which is a steam cylinder i'll
which a projecting piston works, While
at the lower end is 2 solid iron block
having in its under side a groove SO that
the iron block, the hammer block, can
be fitted on the top end of the plank to
be driven. The hammer block weighs
perhaps 200 pounds; the whole outfit,
which is all held together rigidly in the
frame, 400.
Suspended by it's tackle from the end
of derrick boom the operator can swing
the hammer in any direction. Steam 10
fed into the cylinder through a flexible
pipe, and the operator starts or stops the
hammer simply by turning a wheel.
He swings the hammer over to plank
to be driven down and adjusts the ham
mer weight with its groove fitting over
the top of the plank and then he turns
steam into the cylinder and the project
ing piston comes down with fast repeat
ed quick, sharp blows on the top side
of the hammer weight and so hammers
the plank down to where it is to GO
And then the operator shifts the ham.
mer along and settles it on the head OF
the next plank and hammers that down,
and so on. The sight is noyelty.-New
