OFFERS TO GIVE VALUABLE
SITE FOR RAILWAY SHOPS

A proposition that may decide the
locating of the shops CT the Tonopah
and Goldfield railway in Goldheld has
been made by j. p. Lotus to II. X.
Hanlin. general manager of the L. 4 G.
road. Mr.. Lotus, in furtherance of TIE
dc sire of the people of Goldfeld and of
himself as a public spirited citizen to
secure the railway shops as one of the
Industrial projects of this city, offered
to deed to the railway company 2oo
acres of land which he owns between
the western limits of Goldfeld and the
Malapai hills, if the railway company
will accept it and establish their shops
there.
The ground is reasonably level ana
would make an ideal location for the
shops. as it can be reached by an easy
grade, and while being far enough re-
moved from the town would still he at
a convenient distance for workmen wh)
might tside in Goldfeld.
Mr.. Hanlin was much taken with Inc
offer. and signifed his intention OF hav'
ing surveys run to determine the ques'
tion of grades and general adaptability
of the ground.
Machinery for rebuilding the shop'
of the T. G. railway is now belnt
brought into Tonopah, but the question
of location has not been definitely de
termined. Officials of the road naV'
been seriously considering the proposi
tion of building in Goldfeld, but n
/, favorable site had been offered on term
that would definitely elinch the matte
until Mr.. LOTUS made his generon
! offer to Mr.. Hanlin yesterday. IN

The Eye on the Red FLAG.

There are many odd bits of bunting
unfolded to the breeze in New York
harbor, but the oldest of all perhaps
Is the ensign that flutters from the
staff of little craft that rounds the
Battery sea wall promptly at noon
every day and then disappears up the
North river. 1t Is triangular flag
with a flaming red background, from
which stands out in bold relief a great
cyclopean eye. Inside the pilothouse
Is man in blue coat and brass but
tons, who views the water front and
passing craft through long telescope.
This Is the supervisor Of the harbor
His duties are to see that the regula-
tons are observed in the East river,
the upper bay and the Hudson river,
that the channels are kept free Of OBJ
structions and that the city's docks
and ferries are being looked after as
they should be. AS soon as he steps on
board his vessel the unique ensign is
raised. It signifies to all nautical folk:
1--WE got my eye on you. Watch out"

Immune From Arrest

In Washington, in the capital of the
nation, there reside 200 men who. with
their households, have absolute immu-
nifty from the laws Of the land. even
though they commit crimes of the first
degree. They may shoot down the
man who Injuries them; they may, If
they see fit, paint the equestrian statue
Of General Phil Sheridan a vivid pea
green, yet the hands of Uncle Sam
must be kept from their shoulders, and
woe unto the unterrifled policeman or
other servant Of the law who under
takes to bring them to justice once
they have declared their official con-
nections. These men who are SO cloth
ed in immunity are the members of
the diplomatic corps, and their shield
Is international law. 1t is provided in
the laws of nations that they must
answer before the tribunals Of their
own countries for the offenses they
commit here in Washington. but that
they shall not be tried by any court of
the United Washington Star.

The Foolish Railroads.

The stage fare from Huntsville to
Glasgow-twenty-fi miles-was 81 80.
This stage carried the mail, and it had
to 60. When the roads were so mud
dy horses could not pull the stage q
double yoke Of oxen took their places.
1t was slow travelling. but they got
through. The steamboat fare from
Glasgow to St. Louis in the early fif-
ties was ST. That included stateroom
and meals, and If the boat was held
up week or two on sand bar the
accommodations went on without ex-
ira charge. The steamboat owners
never believed the railroads could sue
cessfully compete with them. The way
they looked at it people wouldn't be
willing to travel 100 or 200 miles tied
down to one seat in small car when
they might be enjoying the freedom Of
big and handsomely furnished boat.
"Then how are they going to find room

Captain John Smith and Rats.

The intrepid navigator Captain John

In the Bermudas had some experience
Of the rat as destructive force. But

In the space of two years so to abound
before they regarded them that they
filed not only those places where they
were first landed, but, swimming from
place to place, spread themselves into
all parts Of the country, insomuch that
there was no land but it was pestered
with them, and some fishes have been
taken with rats in their bellies which
they caught in swimming from lie to

cry tree and in most places their bur-
rows in the ground like COMES They

COOKING on tho Trail,

Our guide allowed me to assist him
In preparing the breakfast, though
fancy my assistance might have been
easily dispensed with. He sagely re-
marked that If was going to rough
1t I might as well begin learning now
as any time. It was astonishing how
appetizing meal he prepared with
the very fewest conveniences. For in
stance, he made bread in the sack of
-four without using bread pan. He
followed out cavity in the -four,
poured in water. added salt and bak-
ing powder in proper quantities, then
proceeded to mix the dough. He did
another thing in his cooking that
amused me very much. To prevent
the coffee boiling over he placed
small willow stick across the open top
of the pot. The lesson in physics soon
followed. The coffee dubbed and
then rushed up to the top Of the pot
as though it was going to boil over the
sides and extinguish the fire, but as
soon as it touched the willow it sub
sided like some sentient thing.-Forest

That there is no longer any neces-

Ethan Allen Took It.
Old Fort Ticonderoga, on the west
shore of Lake Champlain, will be re-
stored and made to appear exactly as
1t did on May 10, 1775, when Ethan
Allen, at the head Of his Green noun
tain boys, swooped down on it from
the Vermont side Of the lake and took
it from the British troops. This an
nouncement was made a few days ago
by the representatives Of Mrs. Stephen
H. P. Pell, whose family has owned
the fort property for more than a CEN
fury.
Historical data and sketches from
England and France have been accu-
mulated so that the new structure may
be made Identical with the old fort.
All appearance of newness will be
eliminated. The work will take ten
years and will cost 100000, it is esti-
mated.
For the present the west barracks, in
which the surrender was signed, will
be restored, and 1t is hoped that this
building will be ready when President

has given our language its word las
sassin"-a man so frenzied by the drug
that he accomplishes MURDERS used
by the Persians, Turks and Egyptians
In a manner akin to the use Of opium
BY the Chinese. 1t Is the product Of q
plant grown in large quantities In the
Peloponnesus (southern Greece), in the
district about Tripolitza.' The plant
grows to a height Of about four feet,
and its branches are thickly covered
with small leaves and studded with
tiny seeds. The entire plant, stalk and
branches, is cut within few inches of
the root and laid out in the sun to dry.
The branches are then rubbed to sepa-
rate the seeds. and these in turn are
ground into fine powder, which con-
st1tutes the drug. The drug has the
power Of inducing sleep and producing
pleasant and fantastic dreams. Con-
t1nued use Of hasheesh renders its
devotees reckless and results in a
