The Bloodthirsty Woman.

When an English princess became
the bride of King Alfonso 1t was pre-
dicted that the tide of popular favor
would turn against bull fighting in
Spain But Queen Victoria has alb
andoned her moral campaign against
the brutal sport because of the active
opposition of the Spanish women. 1t
has now become apparent that wom-
en- are the chief support of bull fight
ing in Spain, as they are of the
theatre In this country. At ell the
recent fights in Madrid and Barcelo-
ma women have been in the great
majority In the audience, and not
satisfied with their seats in the boxes
these bloodthirsty Castilian women
have organized and forced the build
ing Of special seats for their exclus-
I've use on a level with the bull ring.
From these seats they are enabled
almost to reach out and touch the
tortured bulls, while mere man has
to be content to sit by his loneliness
in the boxes. Queen Victoria has
introduced English fashions in dress
into Spain but she has been powerless
to check the national sport. After
her first taste of bull fighting, when
a bride of two weeks, she vowed that
she would not return again to the
arena, but political expediency has
forced her to appear at frequent in
tervals in the royal box.

SOLID MARBLE MOUNTAIN
White House Range Solid Mass OF
Pure Satuary Marble.


A solid mountain of marble. near
ly $4,000 feet high, promises to
make the United States the richest
marble country in the world.
IL 5000 feet of this marble were
miEed each day for 1000 years, the
quarries would not be exhausted;
and II all other known deposits of
white marble in the world were
heaped up In one mass, II would
be but a foot hill as compared with
the white marble Cesposit composing
this mountain.
marble that IL perchance every per-
son In the civilized world should ey-
pire to-day, monument of generous
proportions could be provided for
each individual.
White House Mountain in Colo
RADIO, is one solid mass of pure statu-
ary marble.
For the present requirements
there has been exposed enc section
of solid white marble one mile
long. 335 feet thick. and extending
back at least a mile and nalf. as
Indicated by drillings. The cores
from these drillings show that all
of the marble clear to the bottom in
this cross section of the deposit is
sound and beautiful.
OF this immense deposit Al per
cent. Is pure white statuary marble,
and SO per cent. i5 divided between
golden vein and a beautiful dark
vein. The golden vein marble gives
the warm coloring that is found in
onyx. The statuary marble is flaw
less and without I; trace of color or
shadow, and in quality is equal or
superior to the most famous Italian
and Grecian marbel.
This marble can be carried in
blocks or pillars of any dimensions, n
oU-ton derrick and the maximum
capacity of the modern railroad car
alone limiting the size of the com
mercial product. AT this time the
output is 1900 cubic feet per day,
but within ten years it is confident
ly believed the production will reach
10000 cubic feet per day, the de-
mand alone limiting the output.
Although this industry is scarcely
two years old, ii is coming to the
front with amazing strides. Two
years ago the town of Marble, for
many years an abandoned mining
camp. had population of four peo-
pie. To-day it is :. bustling little
community of 700 persons, all sup
ported directly or indirectly by the
marble business.
Finishing mills, electric power
pants, cable and electric trans. and
100 or more cottages have been
erected within the past eight months,
and many structures of various kinds
are now under way.

Big Prey.

Arnithologists are inclined to dis
courage the idea that eagles are in
the habit of attacking large animals,
but contest witnessed by an OBJ
server, and recorded in the Scots
man. dispels such theory. The bat
tie was between an eagle and stag.
The bird singled oIt from herd
one particular buck, which it sue
ceeded in driving from the rest II
struck the animal with its powerful
wings, knocked it Gown, and finally
killed it, A still more remarkable
spectacle is well-authenticated. An
eagle attacked fawn in the High
lands. The cries of the little one
we're answered by its dam, which
sprang upon the eagle and struck it
repeatedly with its forefeet. Fawa.
deer and eagle rolled down de-
clivity, the bird was dislodged from
its hold and the fawn rescued.
Many traditions are eXtant as to
the carrying off of children by eagles.
The most recent case bearing close
scrutiny is one which happened IN
South Africa. A Boer farmer whose
stock had been harried by eagles
lay in ambush for the robbers, and
saw one Of them descend and carry
OFF the tive-year-old child of one OF
| his Kaffir servants. He shot the bird.
| which, with the child still clutched
in its grip, fell into thorn-bush.
| rne bird was dead. but the child was
| little hurt.
| Two eagles III stalk covert in
concert. While one conceals itself
the other beats about the bushes
with great screaming, driving out its
quarry for the Lidden eagle to swoop
uown upon. An even more insidious
method has been observed. An eagle
seeing sheep on the edge Of pre-
cipice, Ilew at 1t, screaming shrilly
and with forceful beat of wing hurl-
ed it into the valley below, where il
could devour 1t at leisure. In the
light of such .ecords there Is good
reason tor believing the legend OF
the eagle dropping tortoise on the
bald head OF Aeschylus, the Greek
poet. and SO causing his death.

Blueing.

This Is especially done to improve
the appearance of white clothes and
bring back some of the clear color
which they lose through wear and
age.
Blue, which dissolves most readily
and leaves least sediment after the
water has stood some time. is the
best.
1t is impossible to lay down rules
as to quantity, as 1t depends both
upon the kind of blue used and the
texture OF the articles undergoing
operation.
AS a rule, body linen require.
more blue than other articles, and
table linen less. To prepare the
blue water, half fill tub with clean n
cold water.
Dip the blue bag into the waite
and squeeze 1t tightly, repeating tn,
process until the water becomes
pale blue color.
The blue water must not be TO
deep in color, as 1t spoils the ~
pearance Of the clothes. Stir tn
water we'll before immersing tn
clothes.

Death of Noted Musician.

Angelo Tessarin, an eccentric must
clan Of Venice, died forgotten and poor
at Marseilles a few days ago, aged 80,
the New York Sun says. He was one
OF the best known and most popular
musicians in Venice fifty years ago. He
was celebrated as a pianist and COM
poser. Still he lived and died in pow
erty, and his creditors were SO numer-
Gus and exacting that In his old age,
when he was convinced that he could
never pay them, he left Venice and
spent his last days abroad.
Tessarin was greatly attached to his
native city and strove hard to end his
days there. He invariably carried an
umbrella, which served TO keep his
creditors at bay; in fact, whenever he
met one Of them he opened 1t and hid
his face and thus passed on unrecog-
nized.
After his wife died and he grew old
a waiter of the Cafe Florian who had
known him in better days offered him
hospitality at his house, and as Tes-
sarln could not pay him he played for
the waiter during meals. When the
waiter died Tessarin left Venice and
was forgotten until his death. His
dying request was that a tablet should
be placed on his grave with the words,
HE deserved q better fate"

Another thing we ought to dO-stop
this scheme of making tariff schedules
outside the halls of Congress. Recent
treaties OF commercial nature have
proved utterly indefensible. Take that
agreement with Germany. In its adj
ministrative features. at least, i'm
mense harm has been done to American
interests. Made In Germany" is
placard that Is met with everywhere.
1t would not be so common were it not
for the fact that German goods includ-
ed in the treaty are coming in at
small tariff valuation. Annually the
government is cheated out of many mil
lions of dollars because Of underyalua-
tons. The German manufacturer prac-
tically decides the duty on his goods.
They are handled In this country
through German agents. Germany is
pushed to 1t TO dispose of her surplus.
She has gone manufacturing mad. She
swamps England, because there is no
dues there upon her goods. She is
sending her wares here. because she
can manufacture cheaply, paying small
wages in comparison TO those paid
here, and because she is permitted to
fix very low valuation for export pur-
poses. Not only is the United States
treasury made to suffer through the
low duties collected, but the American
employe suffers through the invasion
of the American market A very great
wrong is being done, and the new Con-
gress will be expected to right it

Bank Deposit Guaranty.


The bank deposit guaranty scheme
is now to be given trial elsewhere
than In Oklahoma. This year the leg
islatures of three other States have ac-
cepted it. In two of them cO-insur-
ance will be voluntary. \ State bank
can stay in or out as it pleases. The
Kansas legislators hoped that this
modification of the Oklahoma plan
would enable the national banks to
come in if so disposed. The attorney
general has dashed their hopes by tell
ing them that it is out of the question.
Doubtless the State banks which need
al the backing up they can get will
avail themselves of the law. What the
banks with abundant resources will
think of the law is another matter.
They may not care 10 tax themselves
for the benefit of their weaker breth-
rem.
But whether banks unite voluntarily
or under compulsiOn To guarantee de-
posits, the banks do not in the long run
pay the tax. 1t will fall upon the de-
poSitors in one way or another, and the
cost to the average depositor will be
greater than if he were TO pay some
reputable insurance company the pre-
MUM it would charge for guarantee
ing his deposit. Still, If the system
does not break down in some Of the
States which are adopting it, neighbor-
ing States may be tempted TO fall into
line with them. There will be better
opportunity now TO ascertain the effect
of the guaranty system upon the ma
tional banks of a State adopting it than
the single experience of Oklahoma
could afford. The reports from there
are contradictory.
Curiously enough. the overwhelming
~ Democratic Legislature of Texas re-
fused TO adopt the guaranty plan. Mr..
Bryan went to Austin and made
speech for it, but the legislators, per-
haps to emphasize their Indifference to
him, refused To act. Or Ii may be
that the Legislature which was so con-
sentative regarding railroad and other
legislation as to incur the wrath of
radical Governor was of the opinion
that 1t would be well 10 wait and see
the workings of the deposit guaranty
plan in other States.-Chicago >Trib-
