cussed forthcoming visit of the Wright

the WrightS as saying that one of their
aeroplanes is already in London. The
correspondent says they will not go to
England until after they visit Rome,

BIG CAVE IN ADIRONDACKS.
Discovery Said to Rival the Nam
moth of Kentucky.

SARANAC LAKE. n. Y, March 10
Kentuckys celebrated Mammoth cave
has II rival in great Adirondack cav
ern that has been discovered by Capt.
T.. +. Thompson of Saranac- lake. The
mouth of the Adirondack cave is on top
of a peak known as W. mountain,
about three miles from Standish. In
the opinion of Capt. Thomas, it is of
volcanica origin. He and a companion
went in about 1000 feet and expect to
explore farther when they are properly
equipped. They found a succession of
rooms, large and small with Passages
radiating in every direction. but all
looking downward. To test the depth
of some of the great pits encountered
the explorers dropped rocks. They Were
able TO count fifteen and twenty before
they heard these rocks strike
An elks horn was found, and there
was no vegetation after going in seven
tv-five feet. One of the Subterranean
rooms fairly swarmed with bats, and
throughout the cave there was strong
odor of sulphur.
There is no opening at the base of
the mountain, which is about 900 feet
high. and lies in a little frequented part
OF the woods.

In the performance of his daily routine
duties the time of a carrier serving a
standard route Is fully occupied even
when the condition of roads and weather
is favorable. but there are not infrequent
occasions when the monotony Of the car
rier's duties is relieved by incidents and
circumstances arising. which call forth
the most strenuous activity and require
the endurance of hardships that would
cause men of less courage and strength
to falter. The rigors of the northern
winters, the binding billiards. and snow

REVISION BILL RIDERS
Troubles Looming Before the

USED AS HANDY VEHICLE
Anti.Injunction Advocates Watching

CHANGE IN JUDICIARY LAWS
Efforts Making to Straighten Out the

FUSED AS HANDY VEHICLE
CHANGE IN JUDICIARY LAWS

Through an attempt to codify and re-
wise the laws affecting jurisdiction and
practices of the federal courts Congress
may be brought face to face during the
special session with the necessity of con-
sidering the proposed anti-injunction
bills and the equally troublesome question
of conflict between federal and state
courts.
Within week after the Sixty-fir Con-
gress convenes the joint committee on the
revision of the laws of the United States
will be prepared to report on the revision
and codification of the laws concerning
the jurisdiction and practice of the federal
courts. The first work of this committee,
the codification and revision of the penal
laws, has just been approved by Con-
gress, with few amendments.
AS the penal code bill was amended SO
as to fasten to it a rider the Knox
Humphreys bill for the federal regula-
ton OF the interstate shipment of intoxi-
eating liquor, so it is anticipated that ad-
vocates Of anti-injunction legislation will
attempt to graft their bill on the judi
ciary codification.
Program in the House.
Efforts will be made at the beginning Of
the SPECIAL session to have the Senate
consider the codifcation. The work
might be completed possibly by the time
the tariff bill gets over from the House.
When the Senate is considering the tarln
measure an attempt will be made to bring
the codihcation bill before the House.
Probably the most important change
in the judiciary laws determined upon
Is that by which all the jurisdiction
of the circuit court of appeals is con-
ferred upon tha circuit courts. The
committee proposes to take away from
the circuit courts all original jurisdic-
ton, giving 1t to the district courts,
and to change the name of the circuit
court Of appeals" to circuit court
Relieving the Supreme Court.
The circuit court of appeals was es
tablished to relieve the Supreme Court
Of the United States. In 1890 bill
was enacted into law, which, while pre-
serving the original jurisdiction of The
circuit court abolished their appellate
jurisdiction and constituted the circuit
court of appeals to exercise an appel
late jurisdiction over certain final
judgments and DEGREES of district
courts, while others went directly to
the Supreme Court.
The commission of 1897 to revise the
laws reported in favor of the abolition
of the original jurisdiction of the CIR
cult courts AS the circuit courts with
out appellate Jurisdiction would have
no authority to try cases, it was
recommended that the appellate juris-
devolve upon them.
This recommendation the joint com
mittee is now prepared to present TO
the Senate and the House.

LINCOLN A POOR LEGISLATOR.
Mayor Paden of Evanston Shows Weak
Point in His Career.

Chicago, Dec. 23.-The action of
Abraham Lincoln in voting for wildcat
measures that burdened Illinois with
$16,0oO,O0O in debts while he was a
member of the Illinois legislature, 1885
and 1887, was declared by Mayor J. z.
Paden of Evanston last night to prove
that even great men should not be
elected to public Office until they have
reached the age OF discretion.
This is one of the things in Lincoln's
life that we wish could be covered up
said Mayor Paden. TT proves that no
man, no matter how great he later be-
comes, should be elected to Iegisla-
ture or to any office until he reaches
the age of discretion. The actions OF
that legislature are amazing to us to-
day. It built crazy railroads all over
the state. 1t spent vast sums on
streams that never could be made
navigable and to counties where no
money was expended II gave sums
averaging 5000, 900 just to even things
up. When 1t was through Illinois owed
about $16,0O0,000.

EXTENSION or GREAT WHITE
WAY MAKES FARGO RETAIL
DISTRICT as LIGHT AS Day
STUNNING EFFECT CAN'T BE
OVERLOOKED.

Broadway tine main artery in the
retail district of Fargo, can now be
caassed as one of the best lighted
business streets, not only of the north
west but Of the entire county. Just
as long as the retail shops remain
open Broadway is as light as day. in
fact during the business hours Of the
evening, the street is so light that the
arc lights overhanging are dimmed by
comparison.
The completion Of the curb post sys-
tenn from Front street up to First ave-
nue. north, a distance equal to three
ordinary blocks, was the occasion of
rejoicing among the business men who
are looking for the best interests of
the city of Fargo. There were many
obstacles to overcome. With the heart
Of the city beautified by these lights
there is no doubt in the minds of con-
sentative business men but that ex-
tensions will continue until every side
street and avenue can also boast of
the metropolitan system of lighting.
Contractors are already engaged in
stalling the posts on Broadway from
First to Second avenue. 1t is under
stood that N. p. avenue business men
have started movement to bring the
portion from Fifth street to Roberts
street within the gIittertng circle,
while Front street business men have
for some time talked of installing the
posts on the south side OF the street,
some having already been installed.
To travellers on the N. P. passing
through the city by night, the full
effect of the system can be gained
from the car window. More than a
little favorable comment has been
heard.
From the Great Northern crossing
the district is shown as a. great white
way. With the further extension of
the posts passengers on G. N. trains
can't escape the fact that they are in
the midst of the living.
