THE city council of Kansas City re

aud n lively row ensued. The prosldon

THE recent fire In a Cincinnati factor ]
dottroyed fifteen lives because there won

lesson Inaght by this criminal ncgllgonci
should bo heeded by the authorities o

in Omaha requiting oil hotels over tw <

five story buildings have been proteclct

Interposed in their behalf , and no pnn <
iahment whatever was given them. Hie
ovursa at that tlmo was regarded aa alto
gether too lenient , and it was predicted
as a conacquonco that theaa Indians
would consider the government as of but
slight importance. Had they been oven
lightly punished , they would probably
not now have gone on the war path. The
San Francisco Call thinks that the
omission to make aa example of their
leaders waa bad onough.bnt to feed them
at tbo public expense In forglvcnets of
their outrages was still worse.
11. M. T. HUNTKU , who haaboen ap
pointed collector of customs at the little
Virginia town of Tapp hannock , with an
Insignificant salary attachment of less
than $1,000 a year , was oncc a very
prominent man. Of late years ho baa
passed almost entirely from public no
tice , but when the democracy csmo into
power again ho was araeng the mom-
bads that were roturrectod and given
now llfo by appointment to oflico. Hit
name when It appeared among the lot of
appointments teemed rather familiar ,
and Inquiry establishes the fact that he la
the same R. M. T. Hunter who foity
yean ago was apoaker of the house of
representatives , and was afterwards a
United States senate. Ho earvcd In the
sennto until July , 1861 , when ho was
expelled on the charge of participating In
the rebellion. Ho waa secretary of
fllalo for the confederacy and a member of
the confederate senate. After the war
ho waa clouted trcaturer of the state of
Virginia , and retired from that office In
1880. Mr. Hunter is 70 years old , and

office that haa been given him.

SHADED LICENSE A MISTAKI
The city council of Denver has bee
itruggllng with the liquor license qnei
; lon for oomo time , and at last nn ord
3anco baa bsen adopted providing for
graded llconao system. There ore thrc
grades of licenses. The first ia fc
uloona that are kept open at all houri
; ho second la for saloons for 5 o'clock i
; ho morning until 2 o'clock In the mon
Ing ; and the third la for saloons ope
from 5 o'clock In the morning until mid
night. The first grade license requires
: eo of $800 , the second a fee of $500 , an
; ho third a fee of 300.

iloons can afford to pay $1,000 llcenac
1 Denver If they can In Omaha. There
in be only ono successful license system ,
ad that la the ono which provides a nnl-

Inda of liquors. Thla puts everybody
a an equal footing , and gives much bet-
ir satisfaction than any other plan.
THE preaent city charter of St. Louis
mtalna a very sensible provision In re.
ird to the granting of street railway
anohliea. The council or assembly has
te right to sell franchises to the highest
dder , or as a consideration thereof , to
ipoao a per capita tax on the passengerj
ansportod , or an annual tax on groia
colpte , Every right ao granted to con-
ruct street railway shall cease unless
o woik of the construction shall bo bo-
in within ono year from the granting of
o right , and bo continued to completion
th reasonable speed. The adaption of
cso provisions was caused by the fact
it valuable franchises were frequently
tainod not only for speculative pur
ses , but without any genuine orzaniza-
n or intention In connection with the
tcrprlte , ani that once granted
waa very difficult to get
of the legal righto set up by the par *
ties holding them. The principle that
franchise la a valuable thing cannot I
disputed , and hence the grantor corUlnl
ought to receive a valuable conaldoratlo
therefor. It atrlkos us tint a franehli
for nny purpose that will bo profitable i
the holders should bo paid for just tl
eamo aa any other valuable privllcgi
The franchise granted to a wntcrworV
company , a gaa company , an oloctr
light company , and other ontcrprlac
should bo made to produce something ft
the city revenue just as much as a stroi
railway franchise , The tlmo is comli
when no franchise will bo granted by an
city without some valuable contideratlo
and binding conditions.
DAVID DUDLEY FIELD , after practlclr.
law for a lifetime , has juat como to tli
conclusion that there ia altogether tc
much voibo'slty and repetition In logi
documents. It ia rather Into in the dn
for him to make this discovery , but eve
at hia advanced ago a full confession inn
bo good for the soul , In hla recent at
dross at the Uulvoralty of Dalhoueli
Dull far , ho certainly aimed a tollln
blow at legal tautology , and it ia to t
hoped that other members cf the profei
slon will ondorto hla views and advocal
nn early reform In this matter. The n
form , as outlined by Mr , Field , can casll
bo accomplished by condensation , aln
pllcity and uniformity. The law rstali
certain requirements long after the ori ;
Inal cauao for thorn baa disappeared , nn
It is full of grotesque relics of antiquity
which are cumbersome and dilatory i
their effect a. By way of illnatinUon Mi
Field pointa out the fact tnat the "seal
placed after a signature to any legal doct
mont was nothing in the first place but
substitute for the signature itself. It wa
brought into use when few men coul
write , and was the principal Inatrumeri
of verification. Now the nooi
for It has wholly disappeared. It ironl
be inst ns reasonable to require a man t
make n cress and write "hla mark" afte
signing his name as It ia to demand th
presence of the BOB ) . But the distinctioi
is still kept up , and n piece of papa
which Is worthless In itself becomes
valid conveyance in some states slmpl ;
by the addition of this meanlngles
scrawl. There are hundreds of slmlla
instances where the law has been fossil
ized , and the clumsy devices of th
fathers retained to plagno the childroi
through many generations. It la trn
that law reforms , where so much Is a
stake , should proceed slowly nnd care
fully. But it ia juat as Important tha
they should make rational and moosnr
able progress. The subject la wel
worthy of careful consideration at tin
handa of the American bar association.
THE war on the wells in St. Louis ha
resulted adversely to the property
owners , who protoatod vigorous ! ;
against having them closed up. Thi
city authorities demonstrated , by carefu
analysis , that the water from the well
was poisonous , and liable at any timi
not only to caneo fevers Mid other dig
cases , but to encourage and promoti
cholera. The city council accordingly
passed an ordinance ordering all the well
closed up , which would compel everybody
to take water from the city waterworks ,
The well-owners Insisted that inrximucl
as they had been drinking well water fci
twenty five years , they could stand it foi
twenty-five moro. They formed an aeso
elation to fight the matter to the bittoi
end. An injunction was sued ont ,
which has juat been decided in favor o !
the city. As this wn ;
a teat case the filling of the welh
will now proceed with at leaat the sane
tion of the circuit court. The declslot
upholds the validity of the ordinance
under which the city authorities assumed
to act. Wo presume the decision of flic
court Is to the effnct that the wells , owing
to the conditiou of the water , are a nuis
ance , aud can therefore bo lawfully abat
ed iiut aa any other nuisance. The well-
owners will probably appeal to the
supreme court.
THE building inspection ordinance
ihould bo amended so aa to Include the
anllro city. It waa originally drawn with
that object In view , but in order to favor
lomo Influential parties It waa concluded
; o confine it to the fire limits. Tbo fact
a that there have been as many largo
nilldlngs created ontsido of tbo fira
Imlts as within , and which certainly
iced as much Inspection as any other
itrnctnrea. But aalde from Inspection ,
hero ought to bo a permit issued for
ivory building erected within the city
Imlts , ao that wo could have a complete
ecord aa to the number , coat , location ,
iharacter , and ownership of every struc-
ire built during the year. This would
irovo a most valuable statistical record.

The end of a fotr years saw him cap-
nin of a Mississippi steamboat called the
3onvoy. Ono day while selling tickets
n the oflico of the boat ho became in-
'olved ' In n quarrel with & peculiarly
iholcrlc individual , who finally enforced
ilo remarks _ by presenting n pistol
hrongh the window full at the captain's
lead. It waa ono of the old-fashioned
,11'alra , looking like a Catling gun In
alnlature , containing six barrola In one ,
,11 , of which turned round In cocking like
ho chambers of a modern revolver. It
raa before tbo days of cartridges and the
larrols terminated at the broach in
ilpplcs , tha charge being exploded by a
lercnsalon cap. The cnptsiu had not
line to move before the man with aninr-
orous mind snapped his pistol. The
ap misled fire. Ho tried again , and
gain there was no discharge. Capt.
iarrlson'a pistol lay near at band , and
o might have shot his assailant dead ,
ut ho made no movement ; luthatdiroc-
[ on. Keeping an unflinching eye upon
bo discomfited marksman , ho coolly
ponod a drawer and taking ont of it a
ox of percussion caps pushed It through
do window , saying : "Try some now
ops ; yours don't seem to bo good. " The
ndaclty of the performance completely
nuorvod the irate pissengor. Instead of
ccep'ing the capa ho begged pardon for
la folly , waa forgiven with a hearty
and-ahako , and for years afterward was

.used . a great deal of comment , and
nong the stories told at the time was

Many changes have como over the land
nd many generations have bloomed and
raited and passed away during the chief-
aincy of Patqual , The only man has
loarly outlived his nation ; and whatever
ho totem of chief may have been when
t came to kirn In the Infancy of the
Tasent century , It ia now the merest
tphor , having no acmblanco of power ,
jgnity or profit.
All that remains of Pa'quol's dying
tlbo may bo found , as before stated ,
roupod fn little cantonmonti along the
Ivor bottoms above Fort Yama. No
roup contains above a dozen families ,
nd many of them contain only throe or
our. Save the dog , they possess no do
mestic animals , except here and ihoro n
crawny mustang pony. They build
.either hut , tent nor wigwam ; but live ,
r rather huddle together , in frail shel-
era composed of stlcka and dried
ranches , supplemented by bits of old
tovopipo and battered out ccal-oll cann
aund from time to time among the
afnflo of the fort and the neighboring
attloment. Though sometimes theao
loltcro are roofed with dried boughs ,
liey are more often open and clear to
10 sky. Thus housed the children of
10 desert dwell ; and men , women and
abies romping hots and growling doga ,
grouting maids and granddads and gran-
ies neatlo together In the warm ( and ,
: ns bed , sans blankets , satis everything
ot they possess and display the main ot-
ibuteo of happiness ; they ore fat , cheer-
il , good-tempered , and contented.
lVhllo the higher mrtrriago relation
onld seem to bo but feebly understood ,
\p family bond ia complete nnd filial
lection may bo found upon the doaort
i tender and as strong as elsewhere ,
hey nro a paatlvo peoples , and , aa with
1 such people , the passions burn slowly ,
id the criminal.Inatinct . Is dormant or
il. No discoverable moral code ap-
jam among the Yumaa. Measured by
10 moral barometer , their stock rates
w almost as low aa that of the Oau-
isian savages by whom they have been
ib&sed. Polygamy , however , la intar-
otod aud never practiced ; which fact ,
igethor with the observance of the
rally tie , would seem to indicate the
agmontary existence of some definite
otal principle , planted long anterior to
10 coming of the white man.
The Ynmaa are conaervative In matters
1 dreaa ; tonaorial art la also eonservated ,
be men have nothing to ahave , and

The men are above the average of any
litoraca In stature ; In fact , a short man
not to ba found. Magnificently should-
id , broad-chested and airong-limbod ,

i straight and till as a larch , pbyal-

Like the camel , the Yumaa teem to

and dogged , and capable of wondorf

HorBGH for Wftrfaro ,
The only two great nations which co
tain enough horaea within their bardi
to meet all the exigencies of war or
peace , are unquestionably , Rnss'u a :
the United States. In hlo "Surani

Antonio Gallcnga tolls ua tbnt the u
wieldly empire nndortho dominion of t
Great Whlto Czar , "covers one-sixth
the habitable globe , while ita populati
hardly exceeds that of Austria and Gi
many , ita two nearest neighbors , coi

Rev. Henry Linadcll , In a journey
five months from the Thames to t
mouth of the Amoor , wont over 2,0
mlles by rail , 5,700 , miles by steambo
and 3,000 miles by the aid cf hotcee

Gen. Sir llobsrt Wilson , who waa Britli
commissioner at the headquarters <
the Ruialan army during the Morca
campaign in 1812 , tolls us that no tree ;
in the world are better mounted or cr
defend ground bolter than the Britii
regulars. "Tholr artillery , " he addi
"la BO well horeod and so nimbly an
handily worked that It bowla ever all i
regularities of surface with nn ease , Ugh
noes and velocity which glvo it a groi
superiority. The vivacity and nlortnoi
of their cavalry and the unquolling steac
Inesi of tholr infantry make it a ploaani
to command thorn in extremes'alflicul '
ties ; for , as in the case with the Brills
soliior , the moat unbounded confident
may be reposed to uao a sailor's OJ
presslon In their answer to the helm , i
jvery stress of situation and under th
jrentost trials. " From the same sourc
ivo learn that the Firat Napoleon had wil
leased with admiration the unyleldln
rnlor of the Russian soldiery nnd < r cli
jumstancoB the most nnpropltlous for it
llsplsy and had recognized qualities am
) ropensitios which would render Russiai
irmioa , when properly organized , pro
imlnent in the field. "Ho had becom

iharacter of the Russian peasantry
md had found nothing wantiu )
vhlch art and discipline might not cup

liows that , of all others , this country if

THE NOSES OF

Befora deciding aa to the arrangomenf
I the hair , the noao should bo carefully
itorrogatcd. If that feature bo Roman ,
r what a Inarnod author clttcriblrra as
cogitative" i. c.t long nnd carved In-
ard toward the point the hair should
0 somewhat pronounced in Its arrango-
innt. It should bo rather massive , erse
so the largo noao will by forca of con-
a&t , make the head look moagor. If
10 noao bo Greek , an approach , cato-
illy guarded from bolng too realistic , ta
10 classic knot may bo ventured upon ,
ho varieties of the Angb-Saxon nose ,
imo of thorn quite childish In their want
: decision and firmness of outline , are
10 numerous to bo specially commented
? on , but ehoald bo treated variously ,
warding as they approach thn aquiline ,
10 Greek or the annb varieties. Thla
at requires a rather coquettish trrange-
ont of the hair. Madonna bauds as-
irt badly with a snub nooe. So does
10 Venetian coiffure , which haa boon
ich a favorlto among our leithotlo phol-
iz for some yoara. "A little head run-
ng ever with curia" beat suits the annb ,
tip-tilted llKo a flower ; " and sensible
omen who , perforce , wear turned up
ises , will carefully abstain from follow-
g the height and depth of fashionable
Iffurcs , but remain faithful to the quasi
mpliolty that goes ao well with the In-
ntilo formation of their noses.
The allly young women who have of
te gone about the world with their
: ads cropped as cloie as those of the
iya tvlll now regret the rashness that
bbed thfm of their locks , for the cato-
n Is comlnc in again. The hair la to
1 worn curled In front , then simply
ashed back to the nape of the nock ,
lore It la to bo tied with a ribbon
itching 'the trimming on the dress ,
nglng down the back in short curls for
enlng wear , but arranged in a ( hick
sit for the work-a day hours. It is a
plo that has ita advantages , rroro es-
daily ai displaying to good effect a
lit of burnished chestnut hair , which
0 proient mode , with ita tight little
sket pl ltf , rather enviously conceals ,
it the citogau neoda a very special
atnesa to commend It , and If again
opted hero , aa It ia now in Paris , It
II bo well for ita patrona to bear In
nd that when milled ordlaarranged the
eue will Icso all resemblance to the ox-
Isltely neat little appendage of theme
mo aa worn by our ancestors ,
[ t will have Its effect upon the shopo cf
j fashionable bonnet if It becomes gen
ii , and will necessitate a lowering of
> crown at the back. Thla portion of
1 popular headgear has become of late
ira smaller and tmaller ; while In half ,
the contrary , there U sometimes aa
enormous preponderance of crown over
brim. In the ahnpo known as Tom
O'Shruiter this is notably the case , and
there was never , perhaps , in the whole
hlalory of headgear a form that moro
readily londa Itself to the ridiculous than
this when aeon upon any save Iho young-
eat nnd freshest cf faces , A mlddlO' gd
woman , with n hardsot color In her face ,
who ahould bo ao nltorly blind to Iho fit
ness of things ( and there have been such V
Instance ) as to don n Tom 0 Shnnlor , is .
onoof _ these phenomena which make ono ' .i (
desire ( lie rival of sumptuary UTVS.
If the style of hair dnsjing ought
to bo dependent In n great degree
upon the shape of the noao , that of
the bonnet or list should , to bo consist
ent , bo ao too. There is a very thin va
riety of the tmal organ , Inclined to red
ness along the ridge , which looks sharp
enough to carve with , that rcqulrca ox-
Iromuly delicate treatment in the matter
of coiffure. The effect cf the nose Itself
is painfully meagre , nnd thla uinst bo
counteracted by a aort of amplitude in
the arrangement of the locks nnd In the
hitnmlnga of the bonnet. But then , on
the oilier hand , these imut not bo
too Binplo , or they will produce a con *
trait to evident aa to ba prntically a reproach
preach to the nose for KB thiunots. The
other extreme of a very fhshy noeo de
mands n ccrtilti oorotity In the bonnet ;
but the outlines of the latter must
not bo too rigid , ol&o they will
throw Into disaqrecnblo prominence
the inclination of the nose toward spread-
IHR nnd width. So far as regards form.
With rcspost to color , It Is another mat
ter. It la ono ol the most difficult tanks
of the clever milliner to dool with n nose
tbnt remains obatlnntaly rod , dcapito nil
the washes and watora d&vhcd for such
cases. It Is a sad thing to see n bunch of
poppies in n bonnet nnd to uoto tbat
their rosy tint la precisely that of the
most prominent feature of the faco. Yet
even this Is less slarlllng than it would
bo to leave surroundings dark nnd unre
lieved by color , so that too nosa , especi
ally on frosty days , lighta up Iho bloom
like n newly painted pillar DOX In a dingy
atroot. But , fortunately , there are but
comparatively few such hopeleas noses as
these , though ono occasionally sees them ,
and regarda their owner with pity nnd
perhaps mistrust.
