Washington, Jn. ll.-The ap
pointment of Lieutenant General Nel
m A. Miles a. inspector general of
the State of Massachusetts overshad
owed all other questions'. the discus
slon of the army appropriation In the
House of Representatives to day. The
debate had proceeded leisurely until
Mr. Hull, In charge of the bill, offered
!m!mendment Priding that retired
offlcera above tbe grade of major
!Uld nu0t rece!T the ,aU P o tbelr
m .e.u M,ed to duty with tbe
iiL o!ihe.,6Tf,al ButM- Several
members declared that the amendment
oal Mr. Hull insisted tbat he had no
auch thought In mind and argued that
the best results were obtained from of
ficers of the- lower grades. He assert
ed that until the law waa pasaed allow
ing increased -pay for. officers as
signed to the militia, did retired
officers of - the higher grades ap
pl?.i the ePPOlntmenta. He
aaid it waa such increased pay and not
patriotism which prompted them and
he characterized their conduct as 'un
seemly. This statement roused Mr.
Cockran of New York who declared
that It waa simply penalizing auperlor
officers to the advantage and profit of
Inferior offlcera. . After a lively debate
the amendment waa adopted. -
vr.' Williams, of Mississippi, waa
outspoken in the statement that the
real motive behind the amendment
waa an attack on General Nelson A.
Ullev, adjutant general of Maasachu
aatts, "wno is extremely peraona non
grata In high circles In the Republican
party." It was, he aald, no new thing
for tbe Republican party to alight the
heroes of the nation and push its fa
vorltes to the front. It had not been
long, he aald, alnoe the country
witnetaed the manner in which
Admiral 8cbley was treated ard the
way in which General MUea was
snubbed in public, for what reason
waa not known. "But," he aald.amld
laughter and applause, "don't anub
him tn bis new Btate militia uniform.
Don't take that away from blm In his
time of bis pride." He then attacked
the principle of a large standing army
or a great navy. Economy should, he
said, commence with the military es
tablishment but he added, ia a spirit
of ridtcule, "don't take It all out on
General Miles' additional pay and his
Massachusetts Blate uniform."
Several members aeverely criticised
the army and navy expenditures and
r. Prince called attention to the
larva retired Hat. which fnclnrttrt 9AR

not nave neen reurea ny operation or

of pressing the investigation to a con

was announced that beginning to

mittee will be held.
Both witnesees denied many state-
moots directed against the Mormon
church and its alleged Interference, in
political affairs. Former Governor
McOonnell said' that the gentile mem-
bera of tbe Idaho legislature bave not
as nign morale aa the Mormon mem-
bera and that if it were not for ques
tlons of geography and knowledge of
legislative needa the interests of the
Stale would be better served by an em
tire mormon legislature.
Mr. McOonnell repeated a number
of reaaona why the Democratic party
waa boycotted by the Mormon church,
aaying that one of the principal causes
wss that Senator Dubois called the
Mormons criminals. An abstract
showing the result of the vote in Mor
mon and non-Mormon counties dur-
ng the last six vesrs. waa presented
by the witness. This abstract abowed
a general Increase In the Re
publican vote in both the Mormon and
anti-Morton counties, indicating, said
the witness, tbat the Republican In
fluence nad not been due to tbe mnu
ence of the Mormon church.
Mr. McOonnell aald the Mormona
are In the minority in each of the po
litical partlea and In the Legialature
and tbat the Mormona in "Idaho do

McOonnell said he conaldered the man
who took a plural wife and cared for
her and her children, far better than
one who austalned illicit relations with
a woman and abandoned her and ber
children to the acorn of the world.

brought out the statement from the
witness that when Idaho was admit

wives and increase their families.
Mr. French said that in canvasses of
his State he had not taken account cf
the Mormon church aa a church, but
of course nad talked politics - to Mor
mons aa individuals.
Mr. French waa asked what would
be the effect on his political fortunes
if he should be the instrument In the
prosecution of oolygamists. '
"it la my judgment that tha Mor
mona would resent It." said Mr.
French. He added that he believed
that even the younger, Mormons
would feel that the understanding of
1890 bad been violated. -
"Then it ia rather necessary In poli

COTTON IN CONGRESS.

Prednced at if Cests.
Bj Telegraph to the Morning Biar.
Washington, Jan. 11. During the
debate on tbe Army Appropriation bill
In the House to-day, Mr. Johnson, of
8outh Carolina, made a abort speech
on the cotton question. He called at
tention to what he aald waa a sympa
thetic effort, unfortunately successful
to bear down tbe price of cotton, and
asterled that there waa no justification
for such a brutal campaign of decep
tion and misrepresentation. "I know,"
he said, "there are some kid glove
gentry in New York who would not
know a cotton patch from a pea patch,
who are undertaking to tell the world
tbat tbe Southern farmer can make
cotton at 41 cents." If he bad tbe
power be aald be would bave every
man who gambled in cotton on the
New York Cotton Exchange and who
aald tbat cotton could be produced at
4i cents, go down and with his own
naked banda pun tne ben com over a
mule and make cotton at tbat price.
Mr. Douglass, of New York. Inter
jected the remark .that most of the
men speculating on tne new xora
Exchange were Southern men, which
caused Mr. Johnson to declare that
whether they were Bouthern men or
not they were enemies of the Bouth
ern people and or good morals every
where. The people or the Bourn were
boldlne cotton; which they had no
more idea of nartine with at the pres
ent price than the owners, of United
States bonds bad pf selling them at 25
cents on tbe dollar. He predicted
that before September 1st, 1905. thou
sands of anindlea In the United States
and abroad would be Idle because of
their inability to eet cotton to spin.
Mr. Johnson areuea tnat is wouia
be serf ectly right for the Bouthern
cotton growers to agree among them
selves to a reduction 01 tne cotton
croo to the extent of fifty per cent.
Mr. 81ayden, of Texas, said that a
curtailment of the cotton crop In thla
country would only encourage the
greater production of it in other
countries. He warned the Bouthern
members that they abould '.not be de
luded by tbe idea that the South pos
sessed the only climate or aoll which
could produce cotton proalably.

the withdrawal of the bill to increase
the salary of his position. The In
crease was recommended by the re
tinaz Governor, the Hon. Charles
B. Aycock, and would certainly not
be unreasonable if there were no
complications. North Carolina gives
her Governor $4,000 per annum, or
$1,000 less than the salary-received
by the Governor of Virginia. This
State pays its Governor quite well
In comparison with the other States.
Most of them pay entirely too little.

."One can't buy castoff clothing for
many years without meeting some
queer experiences," remarked an "old
clothes man" tbe other day as be fum
bled; through the pockets of a suit
wnicn be had just purchased for 50
cents. "Of course I don't exnect to
find anything nothing except maybe
some old letters. Bnt it pays to run
through the pockets, and feel the lin
ing. - If a man who lets bis wife Bell
bis castoff clothes only knew, what
got lost in tbe lining of bis coat some
times he wouldn't feel so easy about
parting with them. A man sticks Im
portant letters in hla inside coat pock
et;' and some day when be wants them
tney are not there. He bunts and
fumes around, but the letters don't
turn - up. Then be thinks they, mjast
nave been torn up or-burned, and he
forgets the matter.
"But important letters don't go that
way generally. They tarn up. some
times to accuse a man. They,, find their
.way between tbe lining of the coat or
vest, and we fellows get hold of .them.
If. I wanted to go into the blackmail-
lrtg" lousiness I - could make plenty of
money.- I've found letters and papers
in castoff clothing that would' make
pretty startling reading for some peo
ple; Of course when we get the clothes
by bunting up the address in the 'di
rectory we can locate either the writer
or the one receiving it
I don't think that, as a rule, women
sell their husbands' castoff clothing
any more without going through all
their pockets. Maybe they're got into
the babit of searching them so that it
becomes a second nature to them. So
It is riot in the pockets we find things.
It's in the lining, where they have
found their way gradually.
You . know how easy It Is for small
,coins to work their way through a hole
In tbe lining of a vest and snuegle
'down in the corner of . tbe cloth. Well,
we pick -up quite a number of dimes
and nickels in this way. Usually a
vest Is a small silver mine. Probably
the wife of a man feels, .-something
there and thinks It Is only a button or
some such thing, or maybe a penny,
and she won't bother in trying to fish
It outi."3nt pennies don't work down
there nearly as readily as tbe dimes do.
, "Iriiie'same way a bill will get mix
ed up In the lining of tbe inside pocket
ana nnaiiy oisappear. ine man- prop-
ably misses a five or ten dollar--bill
and thinks j.he. -must bave lost 'i't-or
spent 1t foolishly. - The matter escapes
his mind, the suit is thrown to one side
and some' day it is sold to the old
clothes man.' It doesn't escape us.
,We go through every inch of the lining
and examine tbe corners and inside
carefully. The bills we find in the
course of a day will often more than
pay us for what we bave given for all
of the clothes;
"Many men are extravagant In get
ting rid of their castoff clothing. They
have so many tbat they become a nui
sance to them. Sell them to the first
man who comes along is the easiest
way for tbem to dispose of their use
less belongings. If the servants don't
ttake them, we get a fine pick at tbem.

1 "The greatest amount I ever found
In money In one coat was a ten dollar
bill, but several times I've found two
and five dollar bills and one dollar bills
by the score. Once I found a check
for $100, but as that was no good to
mo I returned it to the owner and re
ceived a dollar reward for my. honesty.
The best find, however, was several
years ago, when I discovered a bunch
of railroad coupons between the lining
and inside cloth of one of these fancy,
'.vests. I suppose I might bave cashed
(.the coupons and received $1,000 for
them, Dut tnere was some tisk to bucu
a proceeding. So I concluded to turn

(had advertised for them. Jater I

was mad then that I didn't get more
Tor returning them.

say that tbey come to us In droves.
Generally we read them and chuck
them lu the fire. If s the best way. If
fa man 4ias lost a letter which would

At a funeral In Glasgow a stranger
who bad taken bis seat In one of th

of the other three occupants, one ol

A Quaint Species -of Crow.
In his subsection on "modifications"
of types of birds and animals Sir John
Lubbock cites what Is newest and
most marvelous. He tells us of a par
ticular crow In New Zealand where
the male" and female differ widely as
to the structure, of their bills. The
male bird has a bill, stout and strong,
adapted to cutting and digging into the
tree, but. he is deficient in that horny
pointed tongue which would permit
him to pierce the grub and draw it
but The hen bird has, however, an
elongated and straight bill, "and when
the cock has dug down to the burrow
the hen inserts her long bill and draws
out the grub, which they divide be
tween tbem a very pretty illustration
of the wife as a helpmate to the hus
band.

attain u-.flr maxlmur.: stature all at a
leap. Tbe first great uplift of the Sier
ras. Professor Lawson thinks, elevated
the range about 2,500 feet. Even that
was not done at a bound. It took time
while the gigantic pressures were at
work. Vast periods also elapsed while
the growing mountains swelled up
ward to their culmination of 14,000 or
15,000 feet Terhaps they are still
growing.
Age bas Its common marks every
where. An old man stoops, shrinks in
stature and becomes round shouldered;
an aged tree sheds its branches, breaks
off at the top and finally tumbles into
ruin; a time worn mountain loses ita
aspiring peaks, smooths down its jag
ged outlines, rounds off its steep slopes,
sinking lower and lower under the con
stant wear of the elements until only a
line of green carpeted bills remains to
mark tbe place where tremendous sum
mits rose into tbe region of perpetual
snow and flashed back the sunshine
from a crown of glaciers.
It Is relatively an easy, task to calcu
late the age of a mountain range
which, like tbe Sierra Nevada range,
bad a new birth at the beginning of
quarteruary time, the latest period in
the geological history of our planet It
would be far more difficult to offer the
measuring tape of the centuries to the
great Appalachian range, which lies
just behind tbe Atlantic seaboard. The
Appalachians date back to the remote
carboniferous age, which ended so long
ngottaat nobody probably would be
llins to risk a guess at the number
of millions of years which must since
have elapsed. -The Appalachians may
bave been magnificent giants in their
day, but time haa conquered them, as
it will also conquer tbe rugged Sierras,
and now turir verdured Banks and tops
delight the unalarmed eyes of railway
tourists winding on swift trains of par
lor cars through the rich valleys that
have fattened on tbe substance of the
disintegrated peaks.
The glory of a sun Is gone when It
passes from light to darkness, from
solar incandescence to planetary opac
ity, and likewise the splendor of. life
for n mountain departs when It sinks
from white to green and from the
abode of snow to the levels of grass.

A WONDERFUL ANIMAL.
The Turtle Is a Peculiar
Creature
lu Many lleapecta.
Almost aiv::e among God's creatures,
the turtle but a single enemy
man. It k-i 3 not seem to matter to
the turtle whether ho stays beneath
the surface for an hour or a week, nor
does It trouble hiui to spend an equal
time on land if the need arises. He is
neither fish, flesh nor fowl, yet bis
flesh partakes of the characteristics of
all three. Eating seems a mere super
fluity with him, since for weeks at a
lime he may be headed up in a barrel
(with the bung out) and emerge after
his long fast apparently none tbe
worse for his enforced abstinence from
food, from light and almost from
air, and, finally, it may be truly said
that of all tbe higher, warm blooded
organisms there Is none so tenacious
of life as the turtle. I car truly say
that 1 have seen the flesh cleared out
of a turtle shell and bung up on a tree,
where for hours tbe quivering, con
vulsive movements of the muscles
went on. Not only so, but on one oc
casion only the head and tail were left
attached to the shell. Some time had
elapsed since the meat bad been cut
out of the carapace, and no one could
-hate imagined tbat any life remained
In ibe extremities. But a young Dane,
noticing that the down hanging head
bad Its mouth wide open, very foolish
ly inserted two fingers between those
horny mandibles. They closed, and
our shipmate was two fingers short.
The edges of the turtle's jaw had taken
them off clean, with only the muscular
power remaining in the head. ' Slgnor
Redl once cut a turtle's bead off and
noted that it lived for twenty-three
days without a bead, and another
whose brain he removed lived for six
months, apparently unconscious that
it bad suffered any loss. Leslie s

BALLOON SPIDERS.
They Voyasre at Great Helgbts Over
Sea mu Well as Land.
Given a steady breeze and a free
course, there is practically no limit to
the distance which a ballooning spider
may traverse. The writer has taken
orb weavers from their snuggeries un
der divers sheltering projections at the
highest attainable point on tbe dome
of St Teter's in Rome, whither they
had doubtless beeu carried by the wind
when younglings. One may see flecks
of gossamer afloat at far greater
heights. Seafaring folk often note
spider balloons speeding by them at
sea or entangled upon various, parts of
the vessel. Darwin, in bis famous
voyage of the Beagle, when sixty
miles from land saw great numbers of
small spiders with their webs. When
they first came In contact with tbe rig
ging tbey were seated upon threads,
and while banging to these the slight
est breath of air would bear tbem out
of sight. Thus, though so far from
land, the wee voyagers were still mov
ing on over the main.
A steamship captain told tbe writer
of a like observation made by him.
While sailing along tlie eastern coast
of South America during the mouth of
March his ship was covered wlt'a Innu
merable spider webs. He was then
more than 200 miles from land, about
400 miles south of the equator. The
wind was blowing from the continent.
"The spiders seemed like elongated
balls," Said the captain, "with a sort of
umbrella canopy above them. They.
settled upon, tho sails and rigging and
finally disappeared as they came. You
know," he added, "that it is not un
usual for birds to be blown out to sea.

Lytns at Poker.
A man who would scorn to tell a lie
anywhere else does not hesitate to do
it at the poker table, which accounts
for the big stories we hear now and
then about losses or winnings. It is a
common practice for habitual players
in clubs to multiply the value of their
chips by 100 so that their gains or loss
es are multiplied accordingly. The usu
al size of the club game is $5 limit, all
Jack pots, with $1 to come in. When a
player throws in a white he says, "I'll
bet a hundred." . When it is red he
says, -I'll Dot you luo," and when a
blue, "I'll bet you 500." The casual lis
tener, hearing this talk, coes awav
