It then procee ded to make as much noise as possible, and assumed all the defi- ant attitudes imaginable.
 On my approaching within a few feet of the old man it at ance flew at me and pecked, or rather bit, violently at my legs. l tried to keep it at bay by pushing it away with my feet. but that was of no avail, and I had ultimately to strike it over the bill with my walk ing stick to make it release it's hold of my trousers. l found out later that it had bitten a considerable piece of skin off my leg.
 The old gentleman informed me that the goose follows him wherever he goes, and during stormy weather when he cannot venture outsire it spends the day at the door of his cottage, or else near by it.

In marked distinction to the rigid rule enforced by Chief Justice Kent while he was on the bench that no juror, attorney or attendant appear in court without being fully garbed, and wearing, coat was the appear ance of the superior court room yes terday afternoon
 A juror in the Alton case started the shirt sleeve brigade by rising in his place in the jury box. and with out so much as by your leave" divested himself of his outer gar ments. exposing to view wide ex- ranse of shirt, and nickel plated sus- penders The example was speedily followed by other jurors unti! shirt sleeves became the mode in that jury box
 There is no question in the world but that the temporary quarters of the superior court are hot, lily Venti- lated, and unsanitary, and the in- noVation which Judge Phillips per mitted to go unrcbulled will doubtless be appreciated by jurors, but is prob ably not duplicated in any other su- pcrior court room in the United States. In fact so strict has been the rule in this regard that a year or sQ ago the trial of d case was sus- pended while a juror was reprimand- cd and sent home for a coat, having come to court without such d gar ment.

Eastern Engagement Prevents Premier From Visiting Salt River

Secretary of State Philander C. Knox appreciates the cordial invita- ton extended by the mayor, and board of trade to visit this city and the Roosevelt dam-he admits it him. self
 An effort was made to secure the presence of Knox on his way west over the Southern route. but he had speaking engagements in California which prevented the detour. Yesterday he was al the Grand Canyon on his way east over the Santa Fe and Mayor Christy again made an. effort to bring the secretary to Phoenix. In reply to this invitation the fol- lowing dispatch was received: Hon. Lloyd B. Christy,

NOVELS FROM THE DEAD
If Stockton Can Write From Spirit
 land, Why Not Shakespeare?

The assertion of Professor HySlop that Frank Stockton is writing stories in the spirit world and preparing to send them through spiFitualistic wire less to mundane readers indicates q means of knocking out the best sell ers-When the medium can produce la book convincingly in Stockton's
 vein up to the Stockton literary standard.
 But that condition introduces the
 imminent possibility of other compli- cations, says the Pttsburg Dispatch. If Stockton can send a new book over the StyX, obviously Shakespeare. Mill ton and the great producers of the past can flood our literary markets and perhaps stifle the moderns. If not. then there is obvious work for some of the latter. We should clear | ly expect Dickens to finish Edwin l Brood" Thaceray to tell the whole tale of Denis Duval and Stevenson 1 to complete Weir of HermistoWn." l Then those great minds can turn into competition with other later and earlier of the worlds great story ! tellers
 1 Then there is the question to whom l the copyright on literary master pieces from spiritland will belong. By l the allegation of the mediums they
 are hardly of the rank of private
 secretaries to the defunct but re.
 crudescent authors, but are really instruments like graphophones. into which the romanceS are whispered. | The plain inference is that the copy
 rights must go to the heirs of the authors for 42 years, in which case
 the immortals could provide q steady revenue for their descendants through all generations.
 | However, these speculations arc predicated on the condition that
 these spiritualist masterpieces are
 produced. So far the spiritual pro- 1 auctions have been the reverse of
 masterpieces. for which you can
 blame the spirits or the mediums, as Vour taste directs.

THE SALVATION OF WOMAN.

Having carefully studied the effects of the sheath skirt upon the feminine form, a certain Dr. Karl F'ranc6e, said to be an eminent physician of Munich, informs the world that it tends to stunt development of the legs and to produce a race of knock-kneed women, says the New York World. He advises that the wearing of such skirts be declared a crime.
 While this declaration may startle. there is nothing in it to terrify a re- flecting mind. Similar declarat tiOns by similar authorities have been made against women's garments sinceg first learned men began taking a scientific interest in them. Hardly had woman begun to adOrn her head with many colored tresseS and to decorate it with hats of picturesque diversity and man. moth proportions; hardly had she set about modelling her form to fit a corset and her feet to match the shoes of so- phstcation before she was told she was going to ruin her form divine and wreck her grace upon the altar of the fetish of fashion.
 Nevertheless, she remains beautiful and perenniallY graceful; from genera tion to generation unchangingly SO The secret of her safety lies in the very variety of her dangers. She changes from one to another so rapidly and SC continuously that none has time tC hurt her. From hat that tends tC make her head heavy she turns to one that makes it light From a corset ot excessive slendernesS she takes one that gives the right plumpness. Dr Francke needn't fret. Before this sheath skirt can make her knock kneed. woman vii have resumed the crinoline that lets her walk bow legged

a most beautiful park, invested with the dig
nifty of a presidential summer home. 1t was evil
dent, of course, that the progress OF the war
would prevent President Lincoln from absenting
himself from the capital for even brief vaca-
ton and yet it was equally manifest that his
health would suffer unless he had relief
from the tropical heat that besets the city on the
Potomac in summer 1t was General Scott, him
SELF who brought to the attention OF the presi-
dent the charms of the beautiful suburban cot
tage set on hill overlooking the city and sur
rounded by a veritable forest. President Lincoln
forthwith fell under the spell of the romantic
spot and removed his family from the White
House to the newly-discovered retreat.
From this time until his untimely death Lin
coin spent each summer at the cottage on the
heights. 1t was his custom to drive into Wash
ington each morning from the cottage and after
spending the day at his office In the White House
to drive back to the cottage at night, but there
were of course, occasional days when he re-
manned at his suburban retreat and many confer:
ences were held there from time to time that
had important bearing upon the fortunes OF the
Union. The cottage came to be known as the
presidents cottage" and is so popularity desig
mated to this day, but in the course of time 1t
was, by Lncoln's own direction, officially christ
ened Anderson cottage, in honor of General An
derson Of Fort Sumter. BY direction of the Sec
rotary of War, Anderson cottage was set apart
for the permanent use of the President OF the
United States and in later years it was occupied
for brief intervals by Presidents Grant Hayes
and Arthur, but none of them were so deeply at
tached to the modest and comfortable habtation
as was the Civil War President.
To present-day visitors the center of interest
at the Lincoln cottage is President Lincolns bed
room. which is on the second floor and is the
largest room in the house. Two large front win
dows open directly over the porch and a splendid
view Of the City Of Washington is afforded. The
parade grounds of the Soldiers Home, the flag
pole and the commandments quarters are directly
In front Of the cottage. the site being the most
impressive and commanding of the entire grounds.
The furniture used by Lincoln during his occu-
pancy of the cottage is reverently preserved. but
It has been removed from the cottage to a store
house and is not open to the inspection Of visitors

which was used by President Lincoln a sitting

tage-the very one that was originally provided
for President Lincoln and which has since stood
ready for occupancy by any chief executive al
though none of our later presidents have ava1led
themselves Of the privilege. To be sure, this
summer cottage is not located in the mountains
or at the seashore, but on the contrary is pic
turesquely situated in the environs of Washing
ton But then we must remember that not nearly
all of our Presidents have subscribed to the
theory of Taft that 1t Is necessary to seek
northern cline for the summer solstice. All the
early presidents of the nation who were residents
of Virginia thought that the Old Dominion af-
forded all the requisites of summer resort and
so recent president Grover Cleveland chose
to spend his summers in the suburbs of Washing
ton in cottages which he rented for the purpose.
But to get back to the subject of the Lincoln
summer home 1t may be explained that this his
toric cottage stands on what Is now the grounds

the country home of George Washington Riggs,
one of the first citizens of Washington and the
founder of a house that has transacted the bank

cosy country home was the tract which now COM

use of the nation we're very interesting
When, upon the conclusion of the Mexican war,
Gen Winfield Scott returned with his victorious
army to the United States he brought among
other spoils Of the sum Of $4,000 In gold
which he had exacted penalty or indemnity
from Gen. Santa Ana for the action Of the Mexi-
can troops in firing upon flag of truce. General
Scott was soon in a quandary what to do with
this money He offered 1t to congress, but that
body was for some reason. averse to accepting

keep the money himself although the War De-
partment was quite willing that he should do so.
Finally he solved the problem by personally pur-
chasing the Riggs estate and establishing Ma

riff and this unique institution has since been
Maintained by a small tax imposed upon each

FREE TRADE W PROTECTION.

The St. Louis Missouri Globe-De
mocrat has the following in reference
to the tariff plank of the Democratic
platform recently adopted at Balti-
more.
"The Democratic platform adopted
at Baltimore begins with a straightout
declaration for free trade, and the as
sertion that a protective policy vio-
lates the constitution. President
Washington and his associate found
ers of the government thought other
wise, for one of the earliest meas
ures set in motion when Washington
was first inaugurated recognized the
desirability, and of course, the legal
ity, of protective tariff. During the
last fifteen years the business OF the
country has been conducted under a
protective tariff as shaped by Repub
lican administration during this per-
iod. Shall free trade take its place?
The Democratic platform distinctly
answers-yes. The election of a
Democratic president and Congress
in November will usher in free trade
unless the platform of the Democratic
party is repudiated in its first and
foremost clause. In some quarters it
is limited that full free trade will be
evaded, as during presidents Cleve-
lands second term, that nightmare
of business depression. But no eva
sive party can be trusted. Its proper
treatment is defeat.
That the business activities of the
United States have been enormously
developed in the last fifteen years is
a matter Of common knowledge

ton for itself It's record is an array
