THE NATIONAL CUMMITTEES ARE
SENDING OUT LITERATURE.
All Parties Equal Offenders. The Govy
ernment Is Forced to Pay Cam
paign Expenses. Tons of
Literature Sent
Out,
A special to the World from Nash
ington says: It will be news to the tax
payers of the country to learn that under
cover of law the government is being
forced to pay the campaign expenses of
the various national committees in send
ing out literature from party headquar
ters. ;
The public printer has been obliged to
purchase 40,000,000 envelopes, to buy
two presses and to order a third to meet
the demand made upon his office by sen
ators and representatives who are abus
ing the privilege of the free use of the
mails granted by law for the distribution
of their speeches to ‘hLeir constituents.
The respective national committoes,
being hard up, have influenced several
senators and representatives to leently
order over 1,000,000 envelopes apiece.
Not only is the goyernm>nt made to fur
nish the envelopes free, but the printed
frank of the senator or representatiye
carries them free through the mails.
A reporter saw Public Printer Bene
dict and asked him about the matter.
WHAT BENEDICT SAYS.
“I do not know the details,” he said,
“but Ido know that I have been forced
to buy over 40,000,000 envelopes so far
this summer, and from the demands that
are coming in I judge that before the
campaign is over I shall need probably
100,000,000 or more envelope on which
to print the franks of congressmen so
that they may sepd them through the
mails free,
“I have bought two new presses and
must get a third, These presses will be
practically uscless in the office after the
rush is over. lam compelled by law t>
do this, and it is not for me to discuss
the matter further. The orders of some
of the congressmen alreaay amount to
over 1,000,000 ervelopes each, and, under
the law, any one of them can order 40,-
000,000, or 100,000,000. There is no
limit. I should have to furnish and
print them just as I am doing.”
Mr. Benedict said that the change in
the statutes which made this state of
affairs possible was due to the insertion
of two words which were run into the
public printing laws in the short session
of the fifty-third congress. These i(wo
words were ‘‘without cust.””
QUANTITY NOT STIPULATED.
The law prior ‘to this enactment pro
vided for the supplying of envelopes to
congressmen beyond a stipulated quanti
ty at an advance ot 10 per cen . on the
purchase price and cost of printing.
This held the ordersof the senators and
representatives within bounds,
The 40,000,000 envelopes already or
dered have cost approximately $150,-
000.
As the campaign of education has just
begun, and any congressman may order
1,000,000,000 franked envelopes if he
chooses, it is impossible to estimate
what the total expenditure for the joo
will be.
The republicau ccugressional commit
tee is especially active in sending out
campaign matter at present. Chairman
Babcock said that 459,000 documents
were laailed daily from his headquarters.
The public is under the impression
that the expense is being paid by the
committee,
It is said that quantities of the free
goverament envelopes are being shipped
to every state, district and county com
mittee in the union for mailing or cam
paign liteaature without cost to the l»
cal committee for postage or covering.
HICCOUGHS KILLING PREACHER.
Every Known Remedy Fails to Check the
Attack.
Rev. E. C. Siler, pastor of the Quaker
church at West Middleton, Ind., is dy
ing,
Ten days ago he was seized with a fit
of hiccoughing and has hicec ughed con
stanily ever since. Physicians say that
he can live but a short time. They
have tried every known remedy, but
have been unable to check the attack.
The victim suffers great pain, which is
gradually on the iccrease. To add to
his predicament is the horror of ap
proaching death, the physicians baving
informed him that he canunot survive
long unless the spell suvsides, of which
there are no indications. .

A DEADLY OCCUPATION.
DEATH VALLEY OF THE GREAT
AMERICAN DESERT.
The Thermometer Often Registers 140‘
in the Borax Fields. Workmen
Sleep in Ditches of
Water.
The deadliest occupation for men or
horses is teaming in the borax fields of
Death Valley of the Greal American
desert. There the longest teams in the
world are employed. Scientistsdeclare
that the fierce heat in this narrow rent
in the cra-ked surface of the earth is
not equaled elsewhere in the world.
Where the thermometer often regis
ters 140 degrees of heat, unrelieved by
even a breath of air; where men sleep
at night in shallow ditches filled with
water in order to -avoid dying from
collapse, the necessity for the longest
teams of mules and horses ever har
nessed to draw the borax laden wagons
is apparent.
The desert team is the longest in the
world, and the percentage of deaths
among the horses is greater than that
of domestic animals used in any other
calling. Forty to sixty horses are of
ten hitched to one of the lumbering
vehicles in which the borax is slowly
dragged across the sun-baked alkali
plains. The average life of even the
sturdiest horses used in this work is
six months, for in this length of time
they either become broken-winded,
consumptive from inhaling the deadly
dust of the desert or are driven crazy
by the fearful heat.
A man there, though- protected by
the wagon awnings from the sun’s
rays, cannot go an hour without water
without danger of death. When a
team breaks down and the water sup
ply becomes depleted the men ride off
at top of speed for the nearest source
of supply, and often when they return
they find that the remaining horses,
made mad by thirst, have broken from
the harness and dashed off only to find
death in the desert.
The borax wagons weigh 8,000
pounds and carry 20,000 pounds at a
load. Behind each wagon is a tank con
taining hundreds of gallons of water.
During the busy season the borax wag
ons make an almost continuous train,
and the horsesalone, if placed insingle
file, would make a team more than 100
miles long,
Besides a little food and water, the
poor animals get no care. They cur
ry themselves by rolling in the burning
sand. After a few months of this kill
ing labor the poor creatures become
unfit for service. A kindly rifle ball
ends their agony, and their emaciated
carcasses are leftalongside the trail to
furnish scant picking for the hovering
vulture.—New York World.
| RATS KILL A BABY,
}Flesh Gnawed from Its Face, Head and
} Neck as It Lay in Its Crib.
~ Three big rats attacked the two
months old baby of Mr. and Mrs,
‘lsaac Asher, of 1,150 Low street, Bal
timore, and gnawed its face, head
and neck to such an extent that the
infant died in a shorgtime. Mr. Asher
lives over his store. He was looking af
‘ter bis business and Mrs. Asher had
‘gone to market when the rats started to
‘'make a meal of the helpless infant,
which was snugly tucked iu its crib in
the second story of the building.
' Hearing the baby crying, ths father
burried upstairs, and, as he entered the
room in which the infant was lying,
three large, vicious-looking rats jumped
from the crib and scampered off. The
horrified father found that the flesh had
been torn from the babe’s tender neck,
head and face. Before a physician
could be summoned the child died.
CORN POPPED BY THE SUN.
What the Hot Weather Did in Indiana the
Other Day.
Theodore Roberts planted five acres
in popcorn on his farm, near St. Croids,
Ind., last spring. A few days ago he
noticed that the shucks were abnormally
swollen and that the ear seemed to be
larger than when it began to ripen, a
thing contrary to corn, as shrinkage is
the rule. |
Mr. Roberts found that seven-eights of
the grain had popped open and was cap
ped with the white pulp, as though it
Lad been in the fire. Some of the corn
tastes as sweet as when newly popped,
‘but the greater partof it is dry and taste
jess. The phenomenon is attributed to
the hot weather that prevailed two or
three weeks ago.
The crop 18 ruined.

’UNSUSPECTING WOMAN BUNCOED
| BY A SHARPER.
Went “to Town With Him and Was
Touched for $250, A Cool
Fellow’s Work.
A npeatly dressed, middle-aged woman
walked into the office f the detectives
at the Atlanta station house and told of
the disappearance of a long lost brother.
Her name is - Mrs. Eliza Jones, and she
said she lives at Harlem, Ga. Sheis a
widow and is fairly well-to.do.
Late Thursday a neatly dressed young
mau presented himself at her home and
gave his name as Maxwell, He ques
tioned her about her people, and finding
that she had a young brother whom she
had not seen for years, the stranger
made the startling announcement to
Eer that the young brother stond before
er.
Mrs. Jones was at once amazed and
overcome with joy.
Maxwell told the unsuspecting woman
that he had just purchased extensive
real estate in Atlanta, and that he lack
ed just $250 of having enough nioney to
complete the fiist payment. He humbly
agsked her if she could lend him the
amount. She went to a merchant and
mortgaged one of her houses for the sum
and gave it to Maxwell. He then suy
gested that she come to Atlanta ona
visit, and consequently the two arrived
in Atlanta about four o’clock this after
noon,
Maxwell left the widow at the carshed,
stating that he was going out to find the
key to his house, and that be would be
back in a few minutes. But he never
came for her. The widow sat in the
gloomy waiting room for hours, waiting
for her brother’s reiurn, and finally the
truth began to dawn on her. :
Her brotherly experience had cost
just $250 and traveling expenses.
RYDER CAN’T HANG JANUARY 15,
A Peculiar Mistake Made in fassing the
Sentence of Death Upon Him.
A peculiar mistake, but one which
may not have much serious effect, oc
curred in the closing act of the famous
Ryder trial.
Judge But!'s sentenced Ryd erto hang
in the Talbot county jail yard on Janu
uary 15th next. The sentence xas pass
‘ed Saturday, September 26th. The time
| which would elapse hefore the execu
tion could occur, under the sentence,
would be nearly four months.
The law upon this point plainly says
'that when sentence of death is passed
‘the time of execution shall be fixed at
not more than sixty days nor less than
’twenty days from time sentence is pass
ed. Under the law Ryder’s sentence
‘should have been fixed for a date not
later than sixty days from September
26th.
- Judge But® bas, as yet given out no
statement.
It isnot yet known what effect this error
in passing sentence will have. The opinion
of Solicitor General Gilbert that it was
merely a tecbnical mistake and will only
necessitate a re-entence seems to be the
correct one, but other attorneys differ
with him and it may be that this mistake
will be the ground for a fight for a new
trial.
A FIFTY-SIX POUND RATTLER.
The Snake So Old That He Had Lost Sey
eral of His Rattles,
A special from Washington, Ga., says:
G. Beauregard Amason, who lives just
on the outskirts of town, was awakened
one night last week by the cries of sev
eral negro tenancs on his place, On get
ting up he found all of them engaged in
chasing a large rattlesnake, whose rat
tle he could plainly hear before he got
within 500 yards of the place. He suc
ceeded in dislodging his snakeship from
his retreat, under an out-house, and
running him into a fallen tree, to which
they set fire, and by the light discovered
the snake and shot him. The snake was
nine feet long and as large around as a
man’'s thigh. He weighed (fifty-six
pounds. Mr. Amason will skin him and
stuff the skin. The snake had only three
rattles and no buttons, having lost them,
it is thought, on account of his age and
weight.
GENERAL EVANS AT MACON.
Citizens Escorted Him With Cannob,
Torches and Cheers.
Gen. Clement A, Evans was given a
booming ovation when he reached Macon
to speak for democracy. Card’'s regi
mental band played ““Dixie’’ as the ger
eral’s train rolied into the depot, and
the yells of the thousands of confeder
ate veterans and sons of veterans
echoed from ths swamps below
the city. A long procession of ad
mirers, carrying torches, Chinese lan
terns, and filling the air with fireworks,
accompanied the geaeral’s carriage to
the Academy of Music. . One hundred
guns were fired in his honor, and among
his esc rt were 200 prominent citizens
mounted on fiery steeds,
