AMENDMENT QUESTION IN COURT.

Lrxcorjv, March 5". The question as
to whether the constitutional amend
ment relating to an increase in the num
ber cf judges of the supreme court was
brought directly to the supreme court
itself in a somewhat unexpected man
ner. In a case pending in which the Te
cumseh National bank is plaintiff, the
court reversed the judgment of the
lower court. The bank's attorney
moved for a rehearing on the ground
that the order-of reversal was made "by
a less number of judges than is re-
, quired by the- constitution." The claim
is made that the amendment relating to
' an increase in the number of judges
i was submitted in legal form and
that 122,475" votes were cast upon the

BART LEY GIVES A NEW BOND.
Judge Cocltraa Sots April 19 as the Day
Fur Ex-Treasurer's Trial.
Lincoln, March 5. At 2 o'clock yes-
tcrday afternoon the case of the state
against Joseph S- Bartley, charged with
embezzling state funds, was set for a
hearing before Judge Cochran of the
county court. Shortly after this hour
Attorneys C. O. "Whedon and E. F.
Pettis, on behalf of Mr. Bartley, ap
peared and by agreement the case was
continued uu til April 1U. This date had
been agreed upon between the defend
ant's attorneys, Attorney General Smyth
and County Attorney Monger,
A new bond was filed hi the sum of
foO.000- Mr, gmyth objected to the
bond being eo low.but the court thought
it sufficient. The following are signers
on the bond: W, A. Dfliworth, C. P.
B. Williams, Benjamin H. Cowrlery, J.
A. Buckstaff, A- J. Sillmeyer, W. A.
Hackney, Webster Eaton, J.H. McCIay,
T. J. Majors, W. A. Poxton, E. H.
Townlcy, J. B Trickey and H B Saw
yer. The attorney general objected to the
bond on the ground that the signers had
not justified. Thereupon Mr. Pettis
produced Mr. Paxton's justification for
25,000. The attorney general called
attention to the fact that Mr. Paxton
was not in open court and that the jus
tification should be made there. This
was also the opinion of County Judge
Cochran. Mr-. Paxton had" justified be
fore a notary public and taken the 2:15
train for Omaha. On this account it
was agreed between ai parties, that the
case would be held open to permit Mr

A Hindoo named Bava Luchman Dass
fe attracting the interested attention of
the London medical profession. Mr.
Dass is a Yogi, and if all Yogis are like
Mr. Dass the ordinary treatises oa an
atomy must be subjected to revision. He
was exhibited to the Students' Anatom
ical society of St. George's hospital and
introduced by the lecturer 2s "an unu
sually complicated specimen of the In
dian Yogi a Brahman, namely, of a
very high caste who goes through cer
tain religious exercises with a view of
qualifying himself better for paradise. ' r
These religious exercises seem to take a
physical form, and Mr Dass, a little,
dark gentleman, sat upon the table and
proceeded to exhibit a selection from the
84 abnormal positions which he has put
in 40 solid years in learning
He seemed to have ligaments of the
gutta percha persuasion, while his
joints evidently work on all bearings.
He formed his legs into a cravat and
tied them about his neck. He hopped
about on one hand and strolled about
jauntily cn his knees, a position -which
is said to greatly assist thought, though
the thoughts of a white man in such a
position would hardly befit for publica
tion. He folded his legs tightly around
his body and stood thoughtfully on hia
finger tips for several minutes, in which
posture he declared he was able to re
main for seven days. However, as the
medical students did not "wish to carry
ont this particular experiment to its bit
ter end, Mr. Dass proceeded to tie him
self up in a knot and to go to sleep on
eue leg like a flamingo. Then sitting
down suddenly he brought the soles of
his feet together, his knees being at such
an acute angle that nothing short of
complete dislocation could have made
the performance possible. The lecturer
endeavored to follow his movements on
an extremely suggestive looking skeleton
which he had by his side and finally
came to-the conclusion that Mr. XJasa
had no ligaments at alL London

Trcscherons Cape Gad.
Npbody knows how many vessels have
been wrecked on Cape Cod since the
bleak .December day when the Mayflower
rounded Race point and sought shelter
in what is now the harbor of Province
town. The number is very great, how
ever, and the loss of life on this most
dangerous part of the whole Sew Eng
land coast has been something appalling.
A list, admitted to be incomplete, of
the wrecks since 1873 shows that 151
vessels, including three steamers, haya
gone to pieces on the pitiless sands of
the cape, and, had not the waves always
hastened to remote- the evidences of
their work, the shore all the way from
Chatham, at the elbow of Massachu
setts elbow, to the creak of her bent
hand would be piled high with the rihfi
and planking of shattered yeseli A
large proportion of the cajie's victims
are- coasting acaouers, with only an oc
casional bark or brig. These disasters,
therefore, rarely attract mch attention,
but they are tragical none the less, and
almost every storm adds to the number
of dreadful stories which the lighthouse
keepers and members, of the life saving
service have to telL Tevr York Times.
Es-gllsk in a Cm-sing- rtTedinm.
A pleasing testimonial to the resources
cf the English language was given at
Manchester. An inquiry was being held
as to a housexeputed to be used for gam
bling. It was frequented by poor Jews
and they were stated in a general way
to have spoken their cwn Yiddish ex
cep t when, they wished to swear. Then
they used English, Our oaths appear to
be simpler and stronger than those of
any other tongue. The Spaniards',
though it must be admitted they are
coarser, are top, elaborate. They swear,
not in words, but in sentences. The
same may be said cf Italian execrations.
Prench oaths are a failure. They beat us
in slang, hutia gimple objurgation they
are newhere. German imprecations
mean a good deal, but that Is, just where
they faiL The essence of a good round
oath is mystery. And that is why Amer
ican swearing, thoagh sonorons, misses
its mark. There is too much thought in
it. gt, James Gazette.

Ob American Hotel Clerks.
Jj. F. Austin, iu London Sketch, sup
poses that '"the American hotel clerk is
still the dread of the inexperienced trav
eler. When you stand in his presence,
you became at once aware that you are
a hardened offender and that here is the
magistrate who! will appoint a fitting
punishment for yottr crimes. He growls
the number cf your ream as if it were
the condemned cell, and you are a little
surprised that he does not assume the
black cap and invoke the divine clem
ency on your eon!. I used tc think he
suffered from overstudy cf the rights of
man and regarded them as a social pyra
mid with himself as the apex.
'In the European hotel the traveler is
accustomed to be treated with considera
tion. He stays in the house for his own
pleasure and looks upon the administra
tors as designed for his service. Such a
theory is hateful to the peculiar repub
licanism of the American hotel clerk.
He is something more than a man and
your brother, for he does, not recognize
equality, much less deferential -civility.
The hotel is a hoosa not of entertain
ment, hut correction, and if you do not
care far the discipline yon can go else
where without exciting in the clerk the
slightest emotion of surprise or even of
inquiry. Should America ever fce dis
posed to try the experiment of an oli
garchy a junta of hotel clerks might
conduct the business of the country with
an impassive severity which would have
astonished the council of ten."

In what lines of inhisrry sre the
wages lowest and tbe abrises greatest?
Is it in theee where modern methods
have "been most extensively employed.
and where machinery, with its attendant
concentration of power, has made the
most progress, er is it in these whose
methods are survivals from an earlier
stage of industrial order?
To this question there can be but one
answer. The lowest wages, the most un
sanitary conditions, the grossest abuses
and oppressions are not to be found in
factories, but in tenement house indus
tries. It is among the cigar makers, or
among the workers in certain branches
of the ready made clothing trade that
these matters are jvfc their worst. Yet it
is just here that the conditions of em
ployment are most like those which pre
vailed in earlier industrial periods.
The sufferers under the sweating sys
tem are not, as is so often charged, the
victims of the present industrial order.
They are the victims o? a survival of
past labor conditions into an age which
has became famiiiarwith better ones.

"Why is it that a common poet, when

on any subject, as "Venice or youth, al

that no line beginning in that way is
worth a cent?
