ANDORRA'S PARLIAMENT

The parliamentary procedure of
Andorra-the tiny independent state
which lies sandwiched in between
France and Spain-is of the quaintest
kind. Parliament having been called
for a certain day. the honorable mem
beers arrive in groups on horses or
mules, shod with the usual Andorran
foot-gear: white-coeded sandals. The
Casa da la Walls serves at the same
time for palace. parliament. and pris-
on, not to mention stables for the
members steeds, says the Wide
World Magazine. After stabling the
animals on the ground floor the mem
beers ascend to the hall of delibera-
lions. change their sandals for shoes,
and put on the official costume
long black sort of robe and huge
three-cornered hat. These, when not
in use. hang in a row on pegs at the
bottom of the hall.
The next proceeding is mass in the
chapel. tiny and bare, dedicated to
the Holy Ghost: then comes meal
served on an oaken table without a
cloth. and eaten off antique pewter
plates. Between every two members
stands a huge porron, and each drinks
in turn out of this pitcher. In this
home of archaicism everything is
done according to tradition; even the
daily menu is the same today as it
was centuries ago. The members re-
ceive no emoluments. but they are
literally fed and lodged in six bed
rooms. one for each parroquia. on the
second floor Each room contains
two large oak bedsteads with COM
Portable feather-beds and pillows.
linen sheets. and warm wool rugs,
striped red and green. the national
colors: a pewter basin and huge
pewter pot of water thanked by
lump of soap in a pewter dish, with
four straw-seated chairs, complete
the furniture. Two illustrissimes
sleep in each bed. Supper is taken
at s p. m, after which the president
presides at evening prayers. Then
the members disrobe. hang their gar
ments on its accustomed peg, and
troop off en- masse to bed.

REFUSES TO MARRY A KING.

London. June 30.-A certain royal
princess and a close relative of the
king is causing a good deal of anxiety
in official circles because. though
pretty and in every way highly
estimable consort, the young lady
positively declines to think for mo-
ment of giving her hand in marriage
to any king or crown prince of Eu-
rope.
She frankly VOWS that she will
never wed any man who is likely to
be called to throne, and. moreover.
she resolutely refuses to live out OF
England.
Beyond the princess love of Eng
land and a quiet life Is the fact that
she and certain young nobleman of
ancient lineage and master of one of
the most stately homes in the land.
are deeply attached to each other.
and. were they but ordinary mortals.
would be an engaged couple.
Even now there is chance that
the blood royal will again be allied
with the blue blood of the British
aristocracy.

MOHAMMEDAN LAW.

The case of Wardani, the fanatic
condemned to death by the Egyptian
\ criminal court for the murder of
Prime Minister Boutros Pasha, was
last week referred to the grand multi
for confirmation. says the Spectator.
The grand multi, We may remind our
readers, is functionary who can be
best described as the chief ecclesias-
teal lawyer of the Mohammedan COM
munity in Egypt. On Saturday last
the Daily Telegraph published an ac-
count of the grounds on which he re-
fused his sanction to the sentence of
| death. In the first place he pointed
! out that the prophet has said nothing
in the Koran about the use of re-
volvers. Therefore. apparently, he
who kills a man with a revolver is
not guilty of any crime known to the
sacred law. Next. the victim was a
Christian, and the life of a true be-
never can never be taken merely on
the ground that he has killed Chris
tian. Thirdly, Boutros Pasha's rela-
tives had not themselves appeared as
prosecutors.
This decision of the final interpre-
ter of the Mohammedan law will
sound to most Englishmen like some
sort of CHASTITY opera bouffe. but it
would be most unwise to treat it alto
gether in such a spirit Undoubtedly
the grand muftl decision will seem
not only good law, but good morals
and good religion to a very consid-
cradle portion of the Egyptian popu-
lation. II is one of the great diff
culties against which Mohammedan
states struggle that the sacred law
COZ ha OLE htra haf Jt .,
by orthodox Mohammedans. even
though that law commits the true
believer to such appalling paradoxes
as those propounded by the grand
multi. Curiously enough, however,
this fact helps to make many Moham-
medans acquiesce contentedly. if not
gladly. in British rule. A good
Mohammedan may always yield to
superior force. and If other people
will take the responsibility of trans
crossing the Mohammedan law he
need not excite himself about it, but
may acquiesce in the social conven-
fence produced by such transgression,
We believe we are right in saying
that according to the orthodox inter-
probation of the Mohammedan law it
is absolutely impossible to abolish
slavery in a Moslem country. Yet
many Mohammedans are very glad
to acquiesce in its abolition. The
practical harm done by the grand
mufti's decision has to be considered.
We must face the fact that when
Wardani goes to be eNecuted-the
grand mufti's opinion will of course
be ignored-a great many Moham-
medans all over Egypt who care
nothing about nationalism will be in
clined to the belief that he died a
martyr to the true faith. That being
so, something will have to be done to
strengthen the law in regard to the
killing of Christians.

DERANGED NEGRO
TALKS OF HIS
GOLD

A picturesque old character of this
city is an old negro. typical figure
of slavery days ON the plantation,
who calls himself Cherokee Biz
and labors under the delusion that he
is an old Indian chief and that the
Lord has pointed out to him three
places in the Grand river where there
are untold quantities of gold.
Wrapped up securely in a flour
sack he carried under his arm a
quart jar of river bottom sand which
he believes is pure gold. In another
pocket he carries a small bottle of
water. which in his mind is a concoc-
ton of chemicals to test the amount
and quality of gold. This morning
he appeared in one of the drug stores
of this city and asked If they had any
pots which he could use to melt gold
in. The old gentleman was known
years ago in I;eadville by the druggist
and his whims are humored in the
store in when he = frequent visitor.
He was told that they had no pots
and then was asked to exhibit the
gold and explain how he obtained II.
The old man is apparently insane
but his case is a harmless and simple
one but there is something pathetic
in his child-like simplicity and faith
in his machines. which he possesses
only in his Imagination. to extract
immense wealth from the sands of
the river. His Authorizations. how
ever. are consistent and his belief is
a buoyant factor in his existence as he
never loses faith or becomes discour-
aged and is never disillusioned in his
belief.
When asked how he discovered the
gold beds, one of which he said was
six feet deep and a second four feet
deep, he said that the Lord showed
them to him. He also thinks that he
sees pictures in the rocks which he
finds on the banks of the river. He
Will exhibit a rock and point out the
scene which meets his gaze. Some
times it is one thing and then an
other but usually it is a biblical scene.
A picture of three Hebrew children,
Adam, the first man or Moses as
baby.
Despite the evident insanity which
possesses the old man he is an inter
esting talker and it is a pleasure to
listen to his tales of richness which
await him. If he could only get The
money to buy pot to melt the gold
in. His average output he says is %
pounds of pure gold per day and he
already has on hand 100 pounds, but
it seems that he just can't get money
enough together to melt the gold so
that he can instruct his lady clerk at
Leadville, whom he pays $500 per
month. TO begin selling the gold.
The aged negro came to this city
from Leadville and has been a resi-
dent of the city since Christmas last

BURGLARS FAIL
TO ENTER STORE

Some time during the night burg
lars tried TO force an entrance into
the hardware store of Feldmeier and
Frueauff at SIG Main street.
That they did not successd is due
to the fact that between the planks
of which the back doors are made
there is a sheet of iron which resisted
the auger of the would-be robbers.
When Mr.. Feldmeier opened the
back door this morning he noticed
a small pile of auger shavings on the
floor and examination developed that
two holes had been bored part way
through the door and another one
started. The sheet iron had evident
ly put the brace bit out of commission
and the fellow operating it had to
give up the job.
Apparently the work was that of
amateurs. for they had bored in a
hit-or-miss fashion instead of making
the incisions near the lock as pro-
fessional burglars generally do.
The matter has been reported to
the police but there is no clue to the
disappointed wouldbe hooters.

Out here in flourishing Idaho we

tives should get a touch of the alkali
compound that rolls by Grand juno
ton every day. 1t is about the con-
sistency of thick coffee, and looks
like that article with heavy dose of

When everything is considered, the
people of that section of the universe

they voted the town dry. In passing,

the clamor for water after a long
siege of booze.-Idaho Falls Post.

GREAT SPEECH
BY IOWA s
SENATOR

[By Clyde II. Tavenner Washington
Correspondent OF The sentinel.1
Il am through with it,"
SO spoke Senator Dolliver of Iowa.
He meant that he would never again
raise his voice, either in the senate of
the United States or from the stump,
in defense of excessive protection.
Il do not propose" declared Dolli-
yer, that the remaining years of my
life shall be given up in dull consent
to the success of all these conspirac-
les. / intend to fight as a republican
for a free market on this continent"
In other words, the mighty Dolli-
yer. for years an ardent protectionist,
is conscience stricken. He stands
appalled, at the magnitude of the sins
that have been visited upon the re-
public and peoplesby a system which
he advocated with his own voice.
His eyes opened. Dolliver was cour-
ageous enough to say: Il am through
with it." That is why his speech will
live in history. because he said Il am
through with it,"
The philosophy of the Iowan. in
itself, was not new, anymore than
were his statements that congress, in
passing the Payne-Aldrieh bill, was
dominated by the tariff trusts. Dem
ocrats have told the same story time
aud again. Dolliver has merely in
dorsed the democratic viewpoint,
which is that excessive protection
robs the many for the few.
Senators regard the Dolliver
speech as the most impressive oratory
the senate has listened to in many
years. 1t will take rank among the
foremost examples of American elo-
quence.
Dolliver analysed the cotton and
wool schedules of the Payne-Aldrich
law. revealing as he went along, the
fraud and injustice and jugglery
which will force the people to pay
outrageously high prices for the nee
essaries of life.
He also pointed out how the presi-

FORTUNES FOR FEASTS.

The food fads, about which so
many members of society have gone

epicures have not hesitated to spend
large sums on single meals for them
selves and a select and limited num-
Der of friends.

which must have been a sight for gods
and men. seeing that it cost, IL reck-

100000. The Emperor Vitellius
once entertained his brother Lucius
to dainty snack which ran away
with something like 100000. This
latter feast could not have been a
meager affair when 1t is considered
that among the courses were 1000
different sorts of fish and 1000 var
ieties of fowl
1t is said that the equivalent of
something like $4,000, 600 was spent
by Apicius Coelius during his life
time merely in continual tickling of
