Nellie Bly should be somewhat chari table when she starts out with a gun and a determination to shoot enough private detectives for a mess. Nellie herself has done more private detec tive work probably than any other woman In the country. Besides, per foration Is not a pleasant pastime. The Kansas City Journal says: "Chi cago Insists that the tops of Its sky scrapers were unmoved by the recent earthquake, although the shock was plainly felt below. The conclusion leema to be that tall buildings, to be lafe, ought to consist exclusively of lop stories. " We consider this a tiptop itory. The late E. r. Jordan, the Boston dry goods millionaire, was a fatherless boy who went to work on a farm at the tge of 14 for $4 a month. Socialists who denounce plutocrats should say where they would draw the Hue against small boys who start in life with noth ing but a capital of American grit and American opportunities. A court In Texas is struggling with lease In which the mother and two sis ters of one Allen Taylor, deceased, lay elatm to an insurance of Jl.rsx) on his life In favor of a young lady to whom he was engaged to be married. It Is Claimed that the designated beneficiary was not related to the deceased, and so had no Insurable Interest in him. The same question has been decided In sev eral States in favor of the validity of uch insurance, and there does Dot seem to Is- any good reason why a dif ferent decision should be given in Texas or anywhere else. According to Prof. A. H. Sayce, the searches of the last few years confirm l previously entertained idea that Syria lnd Palestine were under Babylonian domination long be-fore the days of Ab raham, and certainly a century before the exodus. Excavations carried on three years ago by Prof. Flinders Pe trle -have unearthed fragments of the dictionaries used by the scribes In the Egyptian foreign office. Among the tablets recently discovered are frag ments of Babylonian stories which had served as reading lessons to the Egyp tian or Canaanite student in the Egyp tian language and mode of representing It for the reader. One of these frag ments contains an attempt to account tor the origin of sin in the world. Two Important lesson are suggested by the wreck of the eastern-bound fast mail train on the New lork Central Railroad. The first is that proper legis lation should Impose severe penalties for the entrance of any unauthorized pedestrian upon the line of any railroad, so that in process of time no one will flare to trespass. It ought to be made Obligatory, also, for lines to enclose ' tteir property. While this would not prevent determined miscreants from ' stopping a train now and then, it would effectually hinder the majority of in tending criminals. The second lesson Is fhat something is lacking in the sys tem of education which allows boys to grow up with sucti fiendishhess In their hearts as that which Inspired this train wreckage. They derailed a train run ning at forty miles an hour, and caused the death of three persons and much suffering to many others, just to grat ify a leaning toward amateur robbery. Perhaps many of the other mysterious wrecks of trains are due to the curi osity of the soaring human boy In whom moral consciousness Is but feebly developed. Chicago Times-Herald: Mrs. Stan ton's "'Woman's Bible" Is almost ready for the public, and from its advance : aihfHs the real character and scoi of It become tor the first time apparent. The "Woman's rJible', is not. a Bible at all. H la not even, properly speak fcX a book; It Is one of those "books fetich are not ' books" : which every tzxtot kwftws. It Is not an attempt at ft mW translation of the Bible; It is n f:"r Nation of most commonplace erlt tr ;f wf the Eoglish Bible, with the r qMtioa elevated to the su nt g2feC. To pt It bluntly, the E&to" la a mistake. The j f ft ia iwerlle, undignified awl rifgett hi In keeping - J - ' ' 1th Its inception. Coining so soon after the magnificent tribute paid by American womanhood to Elizabeth Cady Htantou on her With birthday. this revelation of her actual present ' nientaljstatus is painful in the extreme, j Charity can suggest but one e-icuae fur the flat, stale and unprofitable work , which Mrs. Ktanton contributes as her' final gift to the world. But if we grant that age has dulled and spoiled the in tellectual force and power of discrimi nation which have certainly character ized many of Mrs. Stanton's acts and utterances during her active life, w hat can we say of her colleagues? The mantle of charity cannot be stretched to cover them. They are young enough to know better. The "Woman's Bible" Is certain to bring ridicule and cou tempt upon the idea of woman's intel lectual equality with man, as well as to inspire grave doubts as to her com mon sense in general. The worst of It is, the book, must stand the critical eyes of the future. In this century study and criticism of the Bible have occupied the most cultivated, sympa thetic and scholarly minds. To cite one well-known instance in, our own tongue, we have given to us Matthew Arnold's "Literature aud Dogma," a book which Is a distinct contribution to literature, as well as to the higher criticism of the Bible. It will go hard for the women of our time when I tus terity compares Sirs. Stanton's book with Arnold's, w hich was written with out pretense of authority, aud with not only the entire absence but with abhor rence of trumpet and drum, and w hich shines in every page with learning, w 11 and highest culture. Setting aside the atrocious taste of the book. Its narrow aud cramping spirit, Its hick of imagi nation, sympathy and spiritual percep tion; passing over all these, which nat urally attract first attention, and look ing at the work solely as a literary per formance. It must be pronounced, as we said in the beginning, a mistake. There are some blunders which are worse than a crime. The "Woman's Bible" Is one of them. Careless Poison-Buyers. Veteran druggists realize the neces sity of questioning Bharply all would be purchasers of poisonous drugs. Where the customer has made no mis take In the name of the article needed and such blunders are very common he Is very likely to err in' the dose or the proper mode of application. The same misuse may be made of a poi sonous drug when dispensed on a pre scription, if no questions be asked. This is well illustrated by the experience of a druggist In Greenville, N. J., wlio cites the following cases: One day a woman asked for sugar of lead. Inquiring its purpose, the drug gist learned that "the doctor bad pre scribed It for her .baby a teaspoon ful In every bottle of the baby's milk!" Si nearly fainted when told how near she had come to poisoning "the pre cious." A schoolboy came in o buy five cents' worth of oxalic acUi-""I'aw-nee Bill" up the street had sent hirn for it; the lad wanted citric acid for lem onade. "Bill's" patrons escaped that time .At another time a woman brought in a prescription for aconite and stated that she was going to admin ister a teaspoonful every hour to a fever patient. The physician had instructed her to administer a teaspoonful of a dilution in a glass of water, but she had forgotten that important part of the directions and was about to enjoy a glorious debut as an angel-maker. A man with a wart as large as a pea ap plied for nitric acid wherewith to burn the growth. He was cautioned to put the smallest possible portion in the cen ter of the wart Instead, he applied It generously, and in ten minutes the acid had eaten through to the bone, causing a wound that required healing by a doctor's fee. Constance vigilance Is demanded In sales of this kind, and the service thus rendered Is not always thankless, for, prone as human nature Is to forget lis debts of gratitude, a close escape from poisoning Is a wholesome and lasting object lesson on the uses of a careful dispenser. A Tall Pish Story. Twelve years ago Leander Lindsay, of Lawrenceville, lnd., placed a catfish In an eigbt-foot spring of water on his farm. Then the spring became filled up by the caving In of the earth, and for more than ten years It re mained closed with dirt. The recent drought produced a scarcity of water on his farm, and Mr. Lindsay con cluded to reopen and clean out the long-closed spring. When be reached its former bottom be found an old tin cad partially filled with sand and de bris, and in the can, with scarcely water enough to cover It, was the cat fish alive and apparently uninjured by its long burial beneath eight feet of earth. That It could live, for more than ten years confined In a narrow' space that almost precluded move ment seems Impossible, but the truth fulness of Mr. Lindsay is unquestioned. A Dig Bridge. What wfll be the biggest bridge In Central America is now building at Oakland, CaL After it Is completed tt will be taken apart and shipped to Its destination. It will span the Rio de Lempa, near the dry of Kan Salvador, in the republic of that name, and will bn 8i0 feet long. In two upans of V.'.ti feet each.

There is uo loubt that a movement to reeogn:s U Cuban Insurgent as belluereoia will te prtescd upon lbs attention of the Douse soon after its organization has been completed by the appointment of so mm it tees. Possibly a resolution may De reported from the committee on foreign affairs of its own motion. This Is tavked of, but if the committee loss not care to take np the matter itself there are influential members ou -lide who are ready to assume the ioiii ilive. One of them is Representative lirod. trick of Kansas, who was a member of the judiciary committee in the last congress. Mr. Uroderlck hopes that, tome member of the foreign affairs committee will champion the cause of( the Cubans, but be has resolved to pre-1 pare a resolution himself if no action is taken by members who are practi cally conceded with diplomatic mat ters. He believes the course of this (oTernmept toward the republic of, Texas and toward Mexico when Maxi mllean waa undertaking its conquest furnish precedents for recognition of the Cubans, and tatt the course of Spain in recognizing the sou'! ern con-: federacy soon after its formation fur- uisbes provocation, if any be necessary. The fact that tt is a catter of com mon knowledge that Cuba is in a state of war furnishes sufficient ground for this government to proceed, Mr. Brod trtck says, even if Spain denies the ex istence of war. An organized arm 7 making an organized revolt against the government, in bis opinion, is suf ficient to establish belligerency. Speaking of the cause of the Cubans, Mr. Broderick says that they have greater cause to rebel against Spain than the American colonists bad for the revolution against Great Britain, as every possible method of taxation has been reaorted to oppress them. Mr. Broderick thinks that congres sional sentiment is in (avor of granting recognition to the Cubans. Stocks Still Booming. Denver, Colo., Dec. 11-A broke on the mining eicbange yesterday tried to bear the market ou one ol the cheap stocks. After be had sold over one hundred share he found the buyers greedy for more. This incident illus trates the condition of the mining stock market at this time, every slight break in quotations resulting in heavy buying of all stocks offered. The sales were quite heavy yesterday and prices are generally firm. The rush to Cottonwood camp con tinues, although no values have yet been definitely reported. A nutnber of leases and bonds are reported from Cripple Creek of properties within the producing area. The chamber of com mence will soon be ready to call mining stocks aud a bucket shop for mining stocks is preparing for a general curb business. Colorado Smixos, Colo., Dec. 11. While the volumne of trading in the Cripple Creek gold stocks on the local exchanges yesterday did not reach the phenomenal figures of Monday, the market with one or two exceptions ruled very firm. The business was well divined between the different priced stocks. In the gilt-edged stocks Isabella and L'nlon were very firm, the former regaining the loss sustained Monday, and closed several points to the good, an influx of large ; Kuropean orders for Isabella through a baufing firm being the direct cause of the rapid rise. The total sales for the day were over a million and a balf shares. Indiana Still Murdering. Demino, '. M, Dec. II. Another murder of a family is reported from the ban bimon valley, in Arizona, by the renegade band of Apache Indians from the ban Carlos reservation, but detsils cannot be bad.

Hay ward rpent the time until midnight wi'h hdward (ioodsrll, bis brother Adry and a stenographer, bupper wsa served at midnight, and the visitor de parted. Hayward ate a most hearty upper and appeared to greatly etjoy this, his last meal. At 1 o'clock Father Timothy of the Fast Side, and Iiev. William Wilkinson visited Hayward. The ministers did not pray with him nor did he seem to want them to. At 1:23 Deputy ehenff l'hil Megaarden entered the corridor and read the death warrant. The death march began at 1:35 a. m. The little procession slowly wended its way to the cage door and passed out into the short corridor connecting the north and south cell rooms. "three cheers for Harry Hayward," yelled Hayward, and some one res ponded with three faint cheers. "Good evening, gentlemen," said the prisoner, as he walked up the almost perpendicular stairway to the gellows and stood upon the drop. "Have you any statement to make, Mr. Hayward?" sked Mieriff llolm berg, Hayward replied thai be bad aud thtn ne began : MDE A STATEMENT. "The people think that I am a kind of a devil, and if they knew my past life they would be well aware of that fact. I have made a shorthand con fession of some of my deeds to Messrs. Mannlx, Goodsell snd Mabey, which is true to the best of my recollections." This was said in a slow, hesitating manner, as if the speaker bad been re hearsing his part, but feared lest he should forget his lines. He con tinned: "I have freely forgiven them all, and do now forgive all who bad in any way done or attempted to do me wrong.; I promised my attorney, John Day .-mlih, that I would say this short prayer on the scaffold : Oh, God, for Christ's sake, forgive me my sins.' Megaarden go ahead." With these words be turned to Dep uty Megaarden and indicated that be wss ready to die. While l)eputies If right and Anderson steadied him mi either side, Deputy .Megaarden ad vanced and wound the strap around bis ankles, another above his knees and a third around his arms. As Deputy Megaarden whs pulling the noose around' his neck, Hayward showed evidence that l.e was some what fastidious in 1 lie manner of exe cution. "Say, doesn't the knot want to go nnder the right ear? J'ut it under the right ear" but Deputy Megaarden paid no attention but began to draw it taut. 'Pull it tight. I die pat. Goodby, Dr. Burton." The cap was pulled down over his eyes, and the deputies, hands had hard ly irft his shoulders when Sheriff Holmberg pushed the lever, and the trap fell, and Harry Hayward dropped a good six feet straight down, bringing up with a jerk that shook the entire building. The drop fell at 2:09 o'clock, and for thirteen minutes the straps were left npon the bocy. They were then re moved, aud at 2:45 the doctors pro nounced Hayward dead. Death was instantaneous. stork forced I' p. D k.n v Kit, Colo., Dec. 12. The ma nipulation of one of the new stocks created qui'e a change from the rou tine of the past two weeks. Though trading was heavy, the stock was steadily forced upward, standing at the close several points better. On other stocks the market stands firm and trading remains apparently heavy in volume. N-veral large buying or ders from the east were filled and in Colorado Springs It waa learned that some very large buying orders had been cabled from Loudon. The discovery that the West Creek mining district is upon the Pike's peak reservation will check interest somewhat In that locality, as congress must act before a patent can issue for mining properties there. A similar mineral formation is reported near I'lne Grove station, on the South l'ark railroad. Transfers of Cripple Creek proper ties by sale, lease and bond are numer ous, in -pits of the advancing prices placed upon their claims by the origin al locators.

It was the third nuptial celebra tion in the Rockfeller family within a month. The bride wore a gown of rich ivory satin made in princess f. shion snd re splendent with exquisite Venetian lace with a draped scarf of the same ma terial on the irootof the skirt, fastened here and there with a cluster of orange blossoms. The frout corsage had finely pleated chiffon and full frillings of lace which fell i over the buffant elbow sleeves. A charming yoke effect was also produced of Venetian lace. The train was of Venetian lace and fell away in a long sweep The veil was long, almost covering the train aud fastened with a tiara of diamonds. The liev.

Theodore Durrani will remain for t time at least, at the county jail. Judge Murphy granted him a stay of execu tion for twenty days. The stay was granted afier a consultation in the dis trict atteruey's office, at which Judge Murphy and Attorneys Dickenson aud Den prey was present. It Is also said that toe advice of Chief Justice lieatty of the supreme court was taken unoffic ially. When he made the order Judge Mur phy admonished Durrani's attorneys that he would expect them to prepare! the bill of exceptions and have it ready at the end of twenty days. He said that unless every effort should be made to comply with his request the order granting the stay would be vacated. It is net probable, however, thet the work can be done In the time men tioned, and should it not be completed there is no doubt that a further stay will be granted, so, as a matter of fact the transfer of Durrani to the penlten tirry It quite remote. Tbe record in the Durrantcase will be the most volumlnus that has ever gone to the supreme court, as bis attorneys intend to incorporate in it not alone all the testimony adduced upon the trial, but all the matter included In the vari ous affidavits presented on motion for a new trial.
