fair, with light wind*, mostly easterly.

the new steamship line from Its city to

At Ogden. Utah, the other day a news
paper correspondent wee Informed by a
member of the Mormon Church that a
divine revelation had been made to the
church in which it was set forth that nil
'.Sit believers *hou*d vote the Republican
ticket. Anotner member of the church,
however, upset the theory of revelation by
deleting that the whole thing w.ia a fake,
und that no divine direction with respect
to lha matter had been received.
I MIMJIKRS lb THE COAL SUUJM.
! The a’rtke in the anthracite coal region
: of Pennsylvania Is taking the usual
j course. Neither tb- operators nor the strik
ers expected that th* question* at Issue
would he settled wit hoot violence, but II
la doubtful It the operator* expected she
striker* would resort to violence so soon.
The sympathy of tbo public was with
the striker* before they began Going If
they expeca to retain tt they will have to
avoid violence. If there are miners who
want to work It la their right to do so.
Tbe state will see to tt that lh*> are pro
tected In that right It may be that th#
stata troop* which have been eent to the
•erne of trouble will be sufficient to main
tain order. If not. mors troops will be
sent. Unless order were maintained many
lyvf* would be lost. Already several Inno
cent priotis have been killed.
No dnuhi there I* fault on both side*
The strikers have good grounds for com
plaint and the operator* assert that there
Is much to be aatd for t h*-lr side. That Is
the position of Mrrkle A Cos., who seem to
be die i*>• I to lo what Is right That
firm have offered to arbitrate the differ
ence* betwien them and the miners work
ing under them, end to ac *pt Arch
bishop Ryan of Philadelphia a* tbe third
member of the arbitrating committee.
Nothing could he fairer than that. It Is
probable that this offrr will bo accepted
by their men. that Is. If they are permit
ted to do *o by Ihe strikers.
If the reports of alleged unbiased wit
nesses are to he accepted the miners,
while they have reason to complain of
their earnings, are by no meant In a pov
erty-stricken condition. On th* contrary,
they live In fairly comfortable houses
have plenty of good food and not a few
of them have money In the bank. Indeed.
It le asserted that In some of the districts
Ihe vast majority of the miners have con
siderable sums In tbe savings l-anks. All
of the thrifty miners who have not met
with any serious setbacks, are In a good
financial condition. That this la true Is
shown by the fact that many of the min
ers, since the beginning of the strike,
have announced their purpose to go to
Europe, to visit their old homes and to re
main until the strike la settled.
There are* of couree, plenty of miner*
who live in hovels and are badly off as far
a* this world’* goods are concerned, hut
It Is aatd that In almost every Instance
such |arsons are either loafer* or drunk
ards, Rut that f ier not. of course, prove
that the miners are not oppressed by the
coal operators and the coal railroad com -
panic*. The things of which they com
plain, however, could easily be remedied
by arhdratlon. .Therefore there ought to
be enough state troop* sent Into the dis
turbed section to maintain order. With
the assurance of peace and order It Is
probable that the men who are trying to
effect a settlement of the strike would
soon succeed In accomplishing thtlr ob
ject.
AN Afft IF.NT (i I.Y KWTOf* CATA
CLYSM.
It Is a singular circumstance that Just
before the occurrence of the recent Gal
veston fitsaster, which resulted In the loss
of so many liven* evidences were dlscov
•
ered of the fact that In prehistoric times
there lived In that part of Texas an un
known raceof people In populous communi
ties, and that on at least one occasion
they Buffered a cataclysm no leas, and
possibly more, destructive of life than
that which has recently visited Galveston.
The dlwovery was made qulto by acci
dent. Grading was t-clng done for the con
struction of a railroad through Galve*-
ton county. On a point of land between
Galveston Ray and Clear Creek, when th.
i-tearrt nhovctn were cutting to an unusual
depth, human bonce were uncovered.
Their presence at such a depth, more
than twenty feet below the surface, led
to an organised Investigation; and what
the Investigators discovered led them in
evitably to the conclusion that they had
chanced upon an ancient but Involuntary
cemetery, wherein hud been deposited by
norae convulsion of nature the bodies of
a people whoso history had been lost.
Literally thousands of skeletons were
found within a comparatively small area,
and their positions were such as to sug
gest that they had been the victims of a
lldal wave, accompanied by a great storm.
The bones lay In groupes, showing that
from two to ten persona hud perished to
gether. In some Instances Ihe skeletons
were on their backs, In others on their
stomachs. In others rroea-plled—ln short,
there w no uniformity In their arrange
ment for tbe last sleep, Indicating that
the bodies had remained Just as they
were left by the force which had deprived
them of life, and that the bones had been
buried deep by the shifting sands and Ihe
subsequent accumulation of decaying for
est growth.
The theory that these ancient people
were destroyed by a cataclysm rests prin
cipally uinn the fact that the strata of
earth In which their remain* were found
consisted of about 40 per cent, sheila cf
sail water origin. With the sheila were
about 40 per cent, gravel and 20 per cent,
coarse sand. Thai the people were of
some degree of civilisation ts thought to
be shown by the pearl beads and frag
ment* of pottery discovered with the
bones; but as to their race or history, no
trace remain*. Many of the skeletons
were of almost glgsnttc proportions. The
skulls wrre somewhat flattened. The
teeth In some case* were touch worn.
These things have led archaeologists to
suppose the people were related to the
prehistoric race# of Mexico, and that they
subsisted upon hard food. More than fif
teen hundred of the skeletons were count
ed. while several thousand were te
ntoved. No sign of any habitation, how
ever, waa discovered. Several of the best
preserved of the skeleton* have been sent
to different museums, and to the J’an-
American Exposition, with all of the date
available respecting them.
Can It be that thle great deposit of hu
man bodies points to an American Bom
pell, with the waters of the Gulf instead
of the leva from Vesuvius, as the de

THE MORNING NEWS: SEN DAY; SEPTEMBER 23. 1900.
| Tilt; rtNIMOI AT I**llC I* I’UHItUt
Th* people of Florida do not *ern to
bn thinking a great deal about th* qu*#-
I (ton ol imperialism or of free silver, or
1 of trusts or of any one of th# other
S quest.on* set forth In the platforms of the
i jwllty.il partlc*. They are thinking and
j talking nhuut the question of removing
I th* capital from Tallahassee to Jeckson
j vffle, Ocala. GalneavlH* or At Augustine
j That Is the paramount question In Florida.
Ev*+y 000 of the places mentioned Is
nmMtlous to b* the cspunl of th# stat*.
! It there were only one pMce that wanted
to get th# capital way from TalUhonse.
' th* chance* of th* slate getting anew
aptsal would be very much better than
It ts Th* way It looks now. however, I*
that th* people who favor letting the
capttol remain where It ls outnumber
those who fa.or any on* of the other
place.—at liaet they are sufficiently nuro
erous to prevent either of the other
places from getting a majority of ail of
tbe vote* rest.
Th* strongest argument against the re
mov.it of the capital at this time tm the
expense The cost of a modern caplto)
building ands Governor’s residence Would
he more than a million dollars. Th# coat,
probably, would bo two million* before
the buildings were completed and furntno
•ri because t would be sati that a* the
apllol would be expected to last a cen
tury or morr. It would he folly to put up
a small and cheap building that would not
he much more satisfactory than the pres
ent structure.
It to a question whether th* people of
Florida are ready to more than double
their puMlc debt at thla time. They ore
only Just recovering from the effect* of
the great freeae. They are In no condi
tion yet to bear etdltional taxation. T*n
year* from now, when the orange groves
have fully recovered and a very muen
greater percentage of the land has been
brought under cultivation, when, in fact,
Ihe taxable wealth of the state has be
come double what It In now. the people
will feel much more like taxing themselves
tor anew capltoi.
It Is true that Ihe present state bouse
is not i very attractive on*, and Ita ac
commodations for the legislature, so far
as committee rooms are concerned, are
meagre, but Florida’s law* compare fav
orably with those of states which have
state house* that cost many millions of
dollars, and have every modern conven
ience. Good men rather than rlegani
buildings are necessary to the making of'
good laws.

AY Of TOPI WITH WlllfUl.
Hardly had Senator Hanna’s speech. In
which he deelar.d he did not believe there
was ouch a thing as a trust In th# United
States, been printed when there came
from his own atat~from the town of
Wapakoneto—tbe authentic report of a
trust of exceptional pretention*. That It
la a trust, and furthermore, that It
proposes to work In secret. Is not denied
by the originators and organisers of tt.
This new oetoiaia strange as It may
rrem, wii born with wing*--the wings ot
Cupid. That these wings may grow and
(ledge until their gentle and seductive
1-catlnga may be heard throughout the
length and breadth of the land, I* tbe
earnest wish of the parents of tha wing
ed octopus. Its proper name Is the "So
ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Worthy Young Lover*” and Its charter
membership number* towards of twenty
business and ooclety young men of the
town named. The avewed object of the
society Is Ihe “mutual benefit and pro
tection of all worthy young loveri." The
badge of worthiness, of course, will be
the society's button. The constitution and
by-laws of the order contain certain pro
visions for discouraging and punishing
"gossips, knockers, kldder*."and all other
classes that Interfere In the love affairs
of the members Competition Is to be dis
couraged. and the diffident young chap
Is to be given a plenty of time to "pop"
to the object of his affections without
running the risk of being "cut out” by
some other fellow having more brass and
gab.
Unreasonable fathers. It Is to be pre
sumed. will come tn for a good share of
the attention of this Lovers’ Trust. The
father who objects to the calls of a mem
ber of the trust ui>on his daughter, and
kicks him down stairs, may expect to re
ceive a call from the grievance commit
tee, If Indeed he does not find his family
boycotted In the mutrlmomal MUrket.
Th# "knockers." the "kldders" and the
gossip*, (whatever the first may be.) need
to be put down, and If tbe Lovers’ Trust
can find a way of doing It. the applause
of the populace will be unhesitatingly ac
corded to It. There Isn't any sane rea
son In the world why. because a chap has
(albn In love, he should be chucked In
the ribs and giggled at by a lot of persona
who are only envious Nor Is there rea-
■ton for the existence of gosslpera. who de
light In poking their nose* Into young
people’s love affairs. Chaperons, Jilts,
flirts, etc., are also marked down on the
nttle list of the trust, since It la an affair
for "mutual benefit.” All trusts. It may
be remark* and parenthetically, are con
structed upon the mutual benefit plan;
that la, for the luncllt of those who are
In on the ground floor.
There appears, upon the whole, to be
something of a field of work for this new
rat Ohio true!, and It may he able to
demonstrate that It should not be classed
with those wicked octopl whose de
struction Is being sought by the politi
cian*. Both Gov. Roosevelt and Control
ler Coler have advocated publicity In the
matter of the operation* of trust*. But
In this case publicity would hardly do.
Where worthy young lovers are concern
ed In a trust, the gas should be turned
down, and If necessary the curtains low
ered and the key-holes plugged.
In his meseage to Congrea* on Dee. 1,
1862. President Lincoln estimated the pop
ulation of the United Btotea for some
year* In advance. He calculated that by
the year 1900 the population would aggre
gate 103.208.413. basing hie calculation upon
the previous growth of fhe country. The
recent census. It Is l>ellevcd. will show
that the total of population la about 78.-
000.000, showing that I’resident Lincoln
overshot the considerably.

The Chicago Chronicle says, with re
spect to a recent speech by Be ns tor
Hanna: “He Intimated that It waa Col
Lryan's intense desire for 'pc#' *' which
| csuaed his resignation." If 8-nator Hanna
intimated any such thing he did Col

perambulator. In an Instant the tiny vehi
cle upset, the dolls being thrown out.
Ii was a bad accident as far as they were
concerned, lor wax head* wml limbs aro
not calculated fo eland much hard usage
Tn# little mold hurst Into tears, and.
much to the novelist’s sorrow, refused to
be comforted.
"Then come home with me.” Dickens
whispered, soothingly, "and we'll eeeMf
ivo isn’t find some grand waxen lady In
siikn and satins for you."
So back to the big house the two wen’,
and. *ure enough, up In hi* children's
nursery he managed to discover a few
pietvily dressed dolls With these safely
tucked In her perambulator the little
girl trotted off.
Hui It le in the sequrl that the best
pari of the story lies. The child’s fieirt
wit# set on making some return for this
kindness, so her parent*, who hnd not the
(.ilniest suspicion of her friend's person
nitty. took her to town to choose some
thing. Her choice fell eventually upon a
gorgeouely hound hook.
When Dickens the next day undid the
rwreel his small visitor hrought him he
was surprised and delighted to sec a copy
of "David t*op[erflcld "
Not until many years later, when they
met tigatn In society, did the little girl
team who the "kind gentleman" was.
Brougham's I nlqne Wager.
Brougham once contrived to make a
holiday poy for Itself by the exercise of
a little shrewdness, says ihe Westminster
Budget, it was tn his college days that,
by the way of seeing Ilfs, he went one
autumn to Dumfries In order to be *t the
Caledonian hunt meeting. According to
the then custom everybody dined at n
table d'hote, and after dinner betting set
In. Brougham offered to bet the whole
company that none of them would write
down the manner in which he meant to
go (o the races next day. There who
accepted hla challenge wrote down their
conjectures, and Brougham wrote down
tils Intention of traveling In a Sedan chair,
a mode of conveyance no one Mid hit
up>n To the races he went, an Immense
crowd seeing him safely chaired to the
course. The bet was then renewed as to
the manner of his return to Dumfries,
the acceptors taxing their wit* to imagine
tho most Improbable method of travel
ing Brougham had calculated upon thla.
and won the double event by returning
in a post cha Ire amt pair.
D# Charge for the Rleealta.
An nmuslng Incident occurred to Prin
ces* Victoria of Wales during her recent
visit to th# Cumberland lakes, aays the
Dundee Journal. The Princess and party,
who had been cycling, rod* up to a station
In order to entrain for another part of
the district. They were tired and dusty
and In want of some refreshment. There
was no time to leave the station, and a
messenger was sent to a neighboring ho
tel and returned with a waiter, who took
an order for some lemonade and biscuits.
"What sort of people are they?" Inquir
ed the landlady when asked as to the
charge.
"Oh. ordinary people." replied the wai
ter. In blissful ignorance
"Ah. pulr things. Just rharge them for
the lemonade and never mind the bis
cuits." said the proprietress.
it came as a surprise to her later on to
learn that she had been entertaining roy
alty unawares.
A Rale of Thumb.
In the notebook of the late Bishop Fra

former young curate of the English vil
lage of Stok# which show* the value of a
little common sense In deciding e knotty
point, says Lorn kin Tit Bits.
The rurste. being exceedingly anxious
at all times to do things In the order of
the liturgy, once insisted, when marrying
a couple, on Ihe ring being put on the
fourth finger. The bride rebelled, and
finally wild:
"i would rather die than be married on
my Httle finger!"
For an Instaut the curate wavered, (hen
he said: "But th# rubric says so."
Matters were at a standstill—the bride
tearful, the groom uneasy, the curate de
termine.! when the perish clerk stepped
in and said:
"In these case*, sir, the thoomb counts
as a digit " .

ITEMS OF IYTEREBT.
—Lady Mary Saurin. who dird In London
•he other day. having nearly completed
her hundredth year. had. during her
whole life, an unvarying habit of eating
something every two hours. She never In
any Ircumsiame* departed from the cus
tom. anl to It she ascribes her good
health and longevity. When traveling or
going about London she carried a little
flag of sandwiches with her. and at the
expiration o' every two hour* she would
open her bag and tat one or two. Up lo
the end of her life the mind of hi* mar
velous old lady seemed strong and active,
ctd her memory was remarkable. At the
time of the batll* ot Waterloo her father.
Lord Harrowby, hi Id office a* president
of ih>> Council, and hi* town house was
In Orosvenor square 1-ady Mary ha* of
ten related the hls'.ory of events at that
critb al moment and recounted vivid re
collections of the rejoicings and lllumlm
tlons In London when the news of the
great victory was received. She would
also tell talc# of the day* of the Chartist*
ami the Cato street coneplracy. This waa
a deep-laid plot to asrasslnate the entire
government of the day, and the blow wt
arrang'd to be struck when Ihe member*
of the cabinet were assembled at dinner
at the house of her father—Lord llarrow
by—ln Orosvenor square.
—lt has been known for many ysars
that Ihe most fertile cause of heart dis
ease Is rheumatism, says ths New York
Post. Only recently ha* it been realised,
however, that many cases of rheumatism
which give rise lo heart complications
really run so mtki a course that they are
not suspected of being serious and are
neglected. This I* especially true in cases
which attack the very young. In children
rheumatism often masquerades under the
name of "growing pains." In Infants It
often falls completely of recognition. It
has become the custom to a lamentable
degree to give for M Ihe coal-tar deriva
tives. the various antl-pyretlc drugs—antl
pyrtne. phenacellne and the like—besides
various derivatives of salicylic acid. These
drugs alleviate the rheumatic pain by be
numbing Ihe nerves; they also lessen fe
ver. The result of their use I* that pa
tients are enabled to move about much
sooner than they otherwise would, and
this throws extra work on th* heart end
leads lo postrheumatic heart complications
which may cripple the organ for life. The
recent Increase In the number of refusals
of risks by life Insurance companies Is
thought to be due lo this cause. Doctors
here from many parts of the world depre
cate the present excessive use of these
drugs. I'aln Is nature's demand for rest.
To allay It without reaching It* cause Is
to drug the aenllnel who watches over th*
ritd*l of health because hla footsteps dis
turb our sleep.
—A scientific discovery Is bound to be
picturesque and Interesting and must at
tract universal attention. A Roumanian
chemist named Dlnkcreeco discovered a
meins of combining the substances which
are used In aenslllzlng paper for pho
tographic purposes so that they can be
applied to ihe human cuticle without In
juring It. and the skin thus tie made a
sensitive pkite for Ihe printing of pho
tography. Dlnkercseo’s remarkable dis
covery Is a combination of photography
and the etching process, and that to some
extent th* Image is "bitten" Hilo the cu
ticle, says Ihe Chkngo Chronicle. At eny
rale, the Impression Is permanent, the Im
age Is cliar and distinct, and the skin Is
not made n negative. The Impression does
not wear away with the change of the
tissues and the renewal of the surface of
the skin because the substances or change#
which have been produced by the process
of photography are renewed according to
the modifications produced by the "biting"
process. Just as those of a tattooed outline
are. And whatever the mechanical mean*
employed the result* ere remarkable
By this means every human being be
comes e eort of photograph album! The
likenesses of his friends, landscape views
associated with his childhood or with sig
nificant events In hi* life, portraits of the
great men and heroes whom he admires,
and many other things may be reproduced
beautifully and permanently on his sur
face.
—Messrs William Fotta A Sons, th*
well-known clock makers of Eng
land, have Just constructed for that city
whit I* claimed to be the greatest horo
kgtcal achievement of the century, says
•he * i The clock la a
huge one, and in It are combined many
features of the most remarkable clocks
In Ihe world, such as those at Berne and
Strashurg cathedral. Th# hug* clock dial,
which I* of polished copper with the fig
ur * Inscribed upon It In blue. Is flanked
upon either aide by a mail-clad knight,
each holding above his had a battle ax.
which serve* to sirlke the gong# at the
quarters and hour. Above the clock,
upon a kind of perch, stands a large
cockerel In front of the dial Is a mat
form. When the quarter* of the hour are
reached the mill-clad knights strike their
gonga Immediately on the left-hand side
of the dill a door opens automatically
and there Issues forth a British soldier tn
full uniform. When h# reaches the center
of the platform he halts and salutes tn
precis* military manner He then pass-*
on to the left, and I* follow,d by kilted
Highlander, who repeats a similar per
formance when lie reaches the middle of
the platform. Then come# an Irishman In
the old dress of his country, brandishing
a shlllelah; then a Canatflan h itman with
his paddle, and finally a Hindoo, wearing
hi* turban and Kiln cloth When the fig
ure# have passed round the platform they
disappear from s ght through another door
whl. h closes automaAcaily upon the last
figures' exit. Th*n the eockhlrd overhead
flop* It# wrings, raises Its head and gives
three lusty crow a The figures are manu
factured of ropper hronxe. while many
of the other parts of the clock ore con
rtructed from gun metal The escapement
Is the double three-legged gravity by Lord
Grlmthorpe, who Is probably the greatest
living authority on clocks and bells.
—lt Is a matetr not simply of conve
nience, eays the Engineering Magazine,
bul of vital Importance, that observatories
situated on the tops of high mountain*
should he able to keep up constant tele
graphic communication with stations at
a lower level. Storms often rage for days
and week* at high altitude*, with such
violence as to defeat all attempt* at
reaching the observers; telegraph pos'x
are swept down by howling winds, and
hurled under masse* of snow, while the
wire* themselves frequently give wa-' un
der the severity of the strain Realising
Iheee difficult!©*, the nuehorltle* of Mont
Plane wisely bethought themeclye* „f j„-
qutrlng whether the Ice which perenlully
cover* the slope* of the mountain might
not posses* sufficient Insulating power to
replace both telegraph pore* and porcelain
Insulators. To ascertain this, some In
teresting experiment* were made by R.
I,esplan. at the request of Dr. Janssen,
the head of the observatory. A double line
waa laid between the Grand* .Mulct* at
the summit and the peculiar mass of
rock* known as the Petit* Millet*, near
the base Ordinary galvanised Iron, an
eighth of an Inch In diameter, was used.
It wa* stretched bare on the Ice, the two
conductor*, each of 6.M0 feet In length
lying about sixteen fet apart For the
purpose of testing the insulation of the
line, the two wire* were left disconnected
at the lower station, while at the upper
they were placed In circuit with a deli
cate ammeter and a battery of eighteen
large laclanche cells On pressing down
the key. the needle of the ammeter did
not move at all. but remained steadly at
It* zero The end* of the wires at the
lower station were then pinned together,
and when the battery wua reduced to
three cell*, the needle flew at once over
the limit of the scale, and remained there
pointing to M mllllampre*. These two
measurement* clearly Indicated that the
,4nui*Uoo of the llot waa excellent.
