Tho Arensdorf Case
Sioux City, la.. Nov. 1. Yesterday
opened the November term of the dis

motion for th dismissal of Arensdorf
was argued. Judge Weaver and (). C.

answer. The ground for asking the dis
missal was argued a mouth ago to the
eff. ct that the judge erred in discharging
the jury so soon. The court has taken
the matter under advisement.
No Decision cn Anarchy
Wash in: rex, Nov. 1. The supreme
court mado no decision in the nnarcliist
case yc:terdav. The chief justice an
nomved that a decision would be ren
dered on Wednesday or Thursday.
The delay is thought to indicate noth
ing more than that thr? court's judge
ment will be set forth in more or less
elaborate opinbm and that the justice
to whom the preneration has been as
signed is not yet ready with it. It is
the general and in fact about universal
belief of lawyers who practice at the
supreme court bar, that the petition for a
writ of eiror will be denied, but the bs
lief is based only o:i their own views of
constitutional law and the impression
made upon their minds by the argument.

i Atty-Cen. Leese Cains His First
Point Over th i Transporta
tion Beard.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 31. The supieme
i court was the ?ccne to-day of an exceed
i ingly interc-iing :.nd important event in
! the contest of the people of the state
j with the railroads which they seek to
regulate, anil, to a hmitcd extent, con
trol. It was the day set for the hearing
of the mandamus c ise against the Elk
horn railroad.
Tin case (am? ur on the taction
of the a'.t.irney-genjral to proceed
with the hearing Ths argument of Gen.
Leese was the same tubst: ntialiv as that
' in th? opinion which he filed with the
state boar i i f trans ortation. He held
that the board of tr ar.spor'at'on was
j gimply an instrument. dity through which
the complainant might seek the enforce
ment of his rights, and although the case
was brought in the name of the state on
the relation of the state board of trans
portation, the original complainant, th
Lincoln board of trade, was a party to
the pit and he was prosecuting for it.
(!;n. Ilawley replied to the attorney
general and made a vigorous plea for-tin
continuance of the case. lie stated that
the relators had, by stipulation with tin
respegdent, nurecd to continue the case,
ii ml that railroad had proceeded in good
faith to act in accordance with the terms
of the stipulation. He imulu an argu
ment to show that the board of transpor
tation was the real party to the applica
tion for a mandamus, and that it had tin
right to continue or dismi.-s the suit if il
saw tit.
This afternoon the demurrer was argued
to the court by (Jen Hawley and the
lion. T. M. Maniuettj on the part of tin
railroad, and Atty.-Gcn. Ltese, Judge
Mason, and the Hon. C M. Lambertson
for the board of transportation and the
complainant, the Lincoln board of trade.
The impression of those who heard tin
tirgunft'iit is that the court will not sus
tain the demurrer, but will decide that
the board has power to declare what is a
ju.-.t and reasonable rate.
(irn. Sherman inl Hi Men.
Sherman could le easily approached by any
of his soldiers, but no one could venture to
lxi familiar. His uniform coat, usually wide
op;'ii at tho throat, displayed a not very mili
tary black cravat and linen collar, and he
generally wore low shoes and one spur. On
the march lie rodo with each column in turn,
oitd often with no larger eseort than a single
stair officer anil an orderly. In passing usod
tho march ho acknowledged our salutations
as if Iw know us all, but hadn't time to stop.
On "tho march to tho sea" a soldier called
out to Sherman: "Uncle Billv, I guess
Crant's waiting for us at Richmond."
Sherman's acquaintance among his officer;?
was remarkable and of great advantage, for
ho learned tho character of every command,
even of regiments, and could assign officers
to special duties with knowledge of those
who were to 1111 the vacancies so made. The
army appreciated these personal relations,
and every man felt in a certain senso that
Sherman had his eye on him. Capt. Daniel
Oakey in Tho Century.
Drinks a. uii Index of Character.
Perhaps ono might theorize about ckarac.
ter from favorite drinks a3 much as-oni
"palmistry" or handwriting. Napoleon had
tlio heart, if over a man had, of a despot. He
drank strong black coffee, tho sultan's driuk,
and Chambertin, tho rich wine of prince-.
Cromwell and George of Clarence wore both
ambitious, with very opposite endings. Both
loved Malmsey, which tradition asserts,
drowned the latter in the Jewel tower. Riche
lieu, tho cold, crafty, calculating cardinal,
loved the thin red wine of Modoc. The mag
nilieeut and high spirited monarch, Henry
ViH, and Francis of Franco, loved what Fal
Etaff huld3 to be so inspiriting, namely, "a
good shcrris sack." Edmund Keairs erratic,
magnificent genius and mad career were
nourished on brandy, which was, indeed, life
to the unhappy tragedian. Dogan tells us
that after his return, utterly broken, in 1S27,
only constant glasses of "brown brandy, very
hot anil very strong," enabled him to get
through his scenes. Addison's polished equable
essays were written on moderate potations of
excellent claret. Charles Lamb, most j)cr
enniallj' charming of essayists, was a thorough
Londoner in heart, and his favorite drink
was genuine London porter. Pitt and Eldon,
who represented the older order of things,
both loved port, of which the chancellor could
drink three bottles. Detroit Free Press.
Weaving In Tibiical Times.
There were not many regular manu
facturers among the anc ient Jews. There
axe. however, several beautiful allusions
to weaving by Job, but tins, like spinning
the thread, was carried on as a family
employment rather than as a regular
trade. It is so now among eastern na
tions. Tho loom and tho instruments
for spinning are of the plainest and
simplest kind. In the description of the
virtuous woman, Proverbs xxxi, 10, to
tho end wo have a full and rninute ac
count of the manner in which these fam
ily employments were directed by the
mistress. Nor was this only in tho fam
ilies of tho lower and middle ranks. In
the Greek and Roman histories we read
of the wives of kings and generals being
thus engaged. Homer, who lived soon
after the time of Solomon, describes two
queens Penelope and Helen employed
at their looms. Dr. Shaw found that the
women in Barbary at the present day
were tho only persons who wove the
hykes or upper garments. These were
coarse articles and they did not use shut
tles, but passed the threads of the woof
with their fingers. Solomon's virtuoua
woman is represented by our translators
of the Bible as having clothing of silk;
the word rendered silk, according to
some authorities, should be fino cotton
cloth or muslin, as they state silk was
then scarcely, if at all, known. Aurelian,
the Roman emperor, 1,300 years after
the time of Solomon, refused his wife a
silk gown because it was too expensive.
We can, therefore, hardly suppose that a
Jewish woman of the middle class could
have such clothing. Philadelphia Call.
Quack Dentists Abroad.
American dentistry is generally held in
good repute in Germany, and American
dentists were used to call themselves "ap
proved in America.' A good deal of
quackery having taken refuge under that
questionable "approval," the Prussian
authorities now require every dentist not
in iHjssessiou of a German diploma to use
the real title obtained at foreign schools
of dentistry, such as "doctor of dental
surgery," after having proved tho actual
possession cf the diploma to the satisfac
tion of the authorities. Without such
proof not one will in future bo allowed
to practice dentistry. Foreign Letter.
Princess Beatrice is said to bo writing

THE N1CHI NICHI SHINDUN.
KcoiieH Iii I lie Otllce of u Japanese .Jour
nal i'riiilei-H Kuimiii; To and Fro.
The ofiic. ,jf The Nichi Xichi Shiubun, a
Japanese newspajior, is thus described: Tho
featuro of Tho Shiubun olliee was its typo
ease for thoro was only ciu of body type.
And such a tyjio ca.n.'! It is divided, for
mi'lity, into two section.-, sloping toward an
alley livo feet wide. Each seel ion is four feet
wide by thirty feet long four by sixty feet.
There's a new cwm for you! Thi is divided
into small cornimrtniont or boxes, into which
the lyiio is laid in regular pile:?, several piles
in a box, with face.i all toward tho compos
itors, mostly boys, big and little. Each holds
a wooden "stick," with brass rule. Tho tyio
are all of a size; tho "stick" is not cot to the
measure of tho column, which is twenty cms
pica, bat, to about half the measure, it lieing
tho biisine.;:; of tho ether workmen to imiioso
the line;. i:i columns, tako proof and make up

Now, then, tho typesetting. Armed- with
"sticks'' and rule and copy tho dozen com
positors read the last i;an earnest, sing song
way, each rushing to some bo, far or near,
for tho needed letter, then back ten or twelve
feet to tho needed olio; all aro on tho lively
move, rushing and skipping to and fro, right
and left, up t-nd down, chaise, balance to
par tners, swing the corners, up and back,
singing the copy, catching one letter here, an
other there, prancing and codging, humming
and skipping a promenadt: cotillion, Virginia
reel, racquet and all l;a;:ds around upon tho
semo floor, at th-j Maine t;-.nc, and the same
dancer.-; ia each a perfect maize of noise and

Iu Training for a Dccl.
A correspondent, whilo in conversation
with an old citizen cf Macon, heard of tho
f chawing incident as going to prove tho cool
courage of the AVooJfolk family. "You have
heard, of course." said he, "of the famous
Wool folk-Camp duel, which took place jears
ago, iLiiil resulted in tlie killing of Camp, one
of toe most noted duelists in tho south. Camp
was a U.ii-i.'ig man, and had fought several
rlueL-:, idways bringing down his num. He
v. ::.; a dead shot , was considered a dangerous
r.iv.:, ar.d va-j domineering and insulting in
hii; i:ia:;uei He was tlie t. rror of every one.
bat lhadly he hr.ulted no of iho Woolfoiks,
wLo -i..'.l;t ircl Camp, and the challenge was
aoe. pled. Friends interfered and tried to
conciliate matters, believing that Woolfolk
would surely be killed, but he was a fearless
man and very determined. Ho was tcld by
his second that he would bo killed. 'I expect
to be,' was the reply, 'but I am determiuo J
that wo both shall die.' His friend induc--J
him to tako some lessons before facing such a
dangerous adversary. Ho took him out,
stripped him to tho waist and stepped off
twenty or thirty paces, tho distance agreed on
for tho duel, and they were to fire at each
other after tho word 'Three.' The pistols
were loaded with corks. His friend called
out, 'Fire: one, two, three !'
"At tho word 'firo' his friend fired before he
did, and Woolfolk jumped in tho air, having
been hit by tho cork. 'Yoa must learn to
receive the cork without flinching,' said his
friend, 'although it will leave a painful
bruise every time.' Tho pistols were again
and again loaded, and each timo Woolfolk
was struck, but he never "moved a muscle,
but kept cool, and with steady aim would firo
after his friend had shot and hit him. It was
understood that his friend should fire first, as
it was believed impossible for liim to shoot
quicker than Camp, and his on!- hope was to
shoot and kill Camp after he had been shot.
It resulted just as Woolfolk's friends had
planned it should result. When the duel
took place, at the word 'three,' Camp shot
first, his bullet passing through Woolfolk's
body. Woolfolk never moved. Taking a cool
and deliberate aim, he fired a second after
Camp, and both fell to the ground simul
taneously. Camp was shot through the heart
and killed instantly. Woolfolk was seriously
wounded, but soon recovered. It was one of
the most desperate duels ever fought, and at
the time created a sensation throughout tho
country." Atlanta, Cor. Chicago Herald.
A 'ew Vse for Dogs.
A new use has been found for that noble
brute tho dog. He has been made to serve
man's interests in many ways, but not until
recently has he been used as a substitute for
the "sandwich" advertising man. That he
has been put to this use is true, as some who
frequent Chestnut street may notice. An en
terprising business man owns a large fine
coach dog, and he has made for it a blanket,
upon which is painted the firm's advertise
ment. When the delivery wagon goes en its
rounds tho dog follows it, and it is the Lope
of his owner that the advert isement he car
ries will attract more eyes than would natur
ally be attracted by the sign upon the wagon.
This is undoubtedly the case, but it certainly
is not conducive to the comfort of thefatthful
animal. Philadelphia Bulletin.
