Miss Royce's Feet Amputated. I'i.aixview, Neb., Feb. 9. The opera tion on Mis Lou M. Koyce wan success fully performed yesterday by Dr. Bear.of Norfolk, assisted by a number of other physicians. It was found necessary on consulation among the physicians after mtiking an examination, to amputate both feet above the ankle. The left arm and hand, though badly crippled, will probably be saved. The patient is rest ing easy and the doctors think she will recover rapidly. A New Iowa Rsglstration Law. Dick JIoinics, la., Feb. 9. The regis tration bill, which as amended passed the senate yesterday, and has now passed both houses, applies to every Iowa city of 2."5iiO or more population. It requires every voter to register once i four years, taking the year of a presidential election lor all other election.?, and permits t lie Registrars to make up their list from the list of those who voted the year before, registering only new voters. The law as amended, doing away with the frequency of registration, is received with much favor, and will apply to about thirty cities of the first and second class. Louisiana tato RopuDllcan Ticket New Orleans, La., Feb, In conse quence of the withdrawal of several of the candidates from the ticket nominated by the recent republican convention in this state, the stuto committoc wf the party last evening filled the vacancies. The ticket now stands as follows: II. C. Warmotb, for governor, as originally nominated; Andrew Hero, jr., for lieu tenant governor, in place of II. C. Miner, declined, B. F.

Fat ty, colored, for secretary of state, as originally nominated; Jos. A.Breaux, tl:e candidate for superintendent of educa tion of the democratic ticket, was in dorsed aud accepted aa the republican nominee for the sanje office in plr.tu of Flanders, declined. The ticket is by no means as strong a first created, several of its b'st men having declined. A Rati Sweeper. WAEAsxr, Ind., Feb. 9 Curtis McCoy, of McCoy's Station. Ind., has invented an appliance for sweeping from tho rail the sand used by locomotive ia ascend ing a grade with trains, and is about to snr-nre its adontinn bv tlift Cinrinnslti Wabash and M,chi.ran Railroad. The davice is very simple, uousisung of xteel wire brooms huag immediately in the rear of the back drivers and operated by a lever in a cab. It is well know to rail road men that the crushed sand on the rail after the engine has passed over it increases the inaction of tlie rain, au! it is to overcome this that the rail sweep Is employed. Airangements have been made for a test of the invention on the C, W. and M. road Thursday afternoon, and invitations have been issued to a l&i go number of railway officials through out the stats to be prtsent anc witness the same. A coach will be attached to a heavy freight traiy, the locomotive being attached to all the cars it can make over the hil the sweep not being used. Aftei ward the name irahj. wuu tha addition of several cars, will be run up the grade to demonstrate the effect the swtep will have in increasing the power of the loco motive. Among those who are expected to bs present is Grand Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En gineers. The result of the tes is awaited with much interest by railway ra:p in this vicinity. Mr. McCo wa3 fornirrly in the service, of 'the Cincinnati, Indian apolis, St. Louis and Chicago road. National Capital Notes. AsiiiXGToN, Feb. 8. liio commis sioner of agriculture has not received the resignation of l'rof. Dodge, and many persons are appealing to the commission er to retain him. Mr. Belmont, chairman of the house committee on foreign affairs, said today he understood the draft of the proposed treaty had been transmitted to the Chinese minister containing such modifications of existing treaties as would b:ing about the complete exclusion of that das3 of emigrants to which tho people of the western coast object. He believed 'hat within a month the country would have a treaty which would effectually dispose of a question. Mr. Belmont added that no clause permitting the extradition of a citizen of :he United Statts for any polit ical offenses was included in the British extradition treaty sent to the senate. It is reported that the senate in secret session this afternoon postponed further consideration of the British extradition treaty until next December. The Queen's Speech London, Feb. 9. The queen's speech was read at the ministerial banquet last evening. After congratu'ating the country upon its pacific foreign relations, she announces that it is the intention of the government to introduce a b:ll de claring squares and thoroughfares un suitable for public gatherings; a bill of broad scope dealing with the Irish valua tion and English local valuation bill. The speech expresses satisfaction at the diminution of crime and tne improved social condition in Ireland. Other meas ures were announced. The speech does not refer to the1 Euro pean crisis. The reference to foreign re lations is devoted chiefly to the Afghan boundry settlement and the sugar boun ties conference. Aa Original liraceli l. A lieautiful bracelet vhieh I siw the otlic flay was a good illustration of what original ity can do in tho way of jewelry. Tho trin ket was composed of soiuo fourteen seins. varying in sie, color and luster, set in solid gold links. There were no two stones alike, and but one or two of tho whole n timber had names which aro at all familiar to joweleiv customers. AH tho stones euti'e from the cabinet of the gentlemen under whoso direc tion they w?r? cue mid mounted, and a num ber of them were of American origin. All were singularly beautiful and gemmable, to coin a word. Georga T. Kiiun in Harper's. School Hours lor Children. Oil rainy days, instead of tho usual bouv's intermission nfc noon, considerably less than an Lour id taken for recess, aud with this ex ception tho children r.ro kept continuously ai work from shortly cftcr 0 oe!.-k till 2. This is known in school phraseoiogj as "short session;"' tho last two hours thereof, any teacher will bear nio out in saying, aro worse than useless. Children and teacher alike arc weary and irritable. They act and react ujon one another. It is more? than doubtful whether anything is effectually taught or effectually learned. Surely when school hours are so long educational work might Le completed in them. After giving four or live hours to mental work in school, children should not be required to study two or tlireo hours longer out of school. Home work often takc3 up the hour of sunlight which remains after school on a winter's day, and chil-lrci, who need sunshine as much as do daisies, live in semi-darkness till their checks are blanched like celery stalks. In half the time now spent in lessons children would a-jqui.-o as much or more. Books would not be regarded with tho dit-tusta which follows, wearinesi. Tho learners would coma to st ud y with minds refreshed, and lueo keen and attentive. E. M. Hardingo ia Tho Epoch. Thrift in "I.iltlo I!:ilv." Perhaps the very best tiling to bo noted of the Italians because, for one thing, it is susceptible of proof, and for another, it is 6Q antagonistic to all vice is thcii thrift. Of that there can be no question. There are about fifty prominent padrojd in New York, nono of them worth loss than $10,000, and one worth nearly $200,000. It, .hu nature cf things ihe padrone is a self nia-lo tijjm it is not ex actly an occupation for gentlemen and his charges, his "children"' over here, certainly follow his example in money getting. Around Mulberry Bend, Baxter Bend and Five Points, names synony mous in the public mind with abject poverty and squalor, there are aKmr six teen Italian boukin niwJ, money lnaking establihnienTs,' generally small places, of course, but thriving, Viola Roseboro in The Cosmopolitan.
