There are all sorts of rumors as to! what the lower house of congress will 4o with the river and harbor bill-as it comes from the.senate. Without into consideration the demands situation, opposition is devel- . under the claim that the demo- crats should not allow the disposition this fund to pass from their con- Such 13 apparently atmed at the to leave the distribution of twenty million to.the war depart- ment through its engineers for the Preservation and maintenance of ex- isting work and to carry on guch Work as is considered advisable with- in the limits prescribed. .\ That the senate has followed e wise course under existing circumstances 45 evident. It is not a declaration river and harbor development expept 80 far as meeting the demands economy, and in this regard it is an attitude which the democrats in the house cannot afford to distur to any materlal extent. The senate, though driven to it, has passed along for the consideration of the house a measure which has been given the at- tention and action which it deserved in accordance with good business Sudgment. Bad enough is the position in which they stand through being forced to carry out one of their platform declar- mtlons against their expressed desire, But to attempt through action in the house to overthrow the prudent eco- momical move, and a step for the elimination of needless expenditures at this time would be the height of folly. .The bill is one which should’ receive he approval of the house. | PACIFYING MEXICO. STILL ‘A CHANCE FOR TRUCE. From the reply whifh has been re- «ceived by the president from the Col- orado Fuel and Iron company it is Indicated that while the suggestion of B truce has not as yet met Wwith unan- imous agreement by the opposing Forces in Colorado progress is being mmade. The operators canmot fail to récognize the - responsibility which rests with them at the present stage nt the undertaking if the highly unde- le state of affairs in that state to be brought to an end. That there is an agreement upon many fea- tures of the proposition is significant and while the company is the first Lo advdnce objections to the plan of ure for bringing peace for a of three years at least in that on, it ought not to be allowed to lock further progrees.

To this there must be con- tributions by both sides and there have beey, Dut there remain the mat- ters of the grievance committes and the maXing room for the strikers over which there s @ hitch. These should not b allowed to block the effort. It snould be possible to determine with- out much work just how much there is to the objections made, and over- come the difficulties if they are rea- sonable. The demands for peace are “Of course you think like the rest that Professor Ripley died with aj plexy that day he was found in laboratory? That was before they sy me here. Well, he didn't die; he was murdered! When the detectives and professors got together they decided the murder must have been done by someone who expected to find jeweis on the mummies. But let me tell you it was too supernatural for that. Can you keep a secret?” Pausing as if to consider my indig- nant assurances, while he whittled Juicy chips of plug tobacco into his old pipe, Robbins looked me over from head to foot. From the characteristic squint of this eyes, withered features spread in irregular spider-web pattern and drooped around deep cut lines toward his chin. Loose fitting clothes which hung In keeping with the archi- tecture of his face added one more to the associations by which I pictured him among the dusty racks and cases of some little old museum. “Don’t look shocked now; I didn’t do the killing, nor I and the professo's ain't Keeping quiet to protect them that did. college -wanted to investi- gate without any newspaper talk to make notoriety. “Just let me begin at the beginning I ain't no hand for going at things hind end foremost, like a detective. 1t Sseems, to explain it, you've got to get back to old times in Egypt, along sev- eral thousand years B, C. A Jewish fellow was one of the slaves to a fel- low near Cairo, and for all his troubles he was mighty conscientious; prayed towarq Jerusalem, kept the fast days, and refused good victuals just because the heathen Egyptians cooked them. “But he wasn't satisfied to let well enough alone. He took the old woman and converted her. Might have tackled the old man only he knew he was an Egyptian priest and dangerous to fool with. ‘Outside his family activities he was soon trying’ to teach the slaves, but was caught at that and given a flogging. “Things came to a head when the mistress, wanting.to have him around to talk to, got him a.sg}g'nefl to easy work in the gardens, ’Her husband, the priest, was a stupid old codger, not Suspecting the Jew of bothering his family. It was when the lew was mortally injured by a stone falling on him that he finst learned about it. The Jew sent a message to the mistress by another slave, but the fellow was either mighty stupid or mighty wise and took it to the priest instead. . By that time the Jew was dead, and past Punishing. S “Nothing would rile an ald-time Egyptian like.having his family con- verted away from the national religion, especially if the fellow that did it died and cheated him out of his revenge. The priest threw forty-eleven fits when he had his wife's confession; but you'll have to admit he had resources. He calmly called in the nearest thing they had to embalmers, the fellows that made mummies, and told them that he wanted that Jew made into the next best mummy they could. “‘And make me into the best’ he ordered, as he handed them a bunch of papyrl With written instructions. The old fellow had been locked up by him- self for some two hours drawing up those papers and making his_plans. Then, it seems, after he had handed them over, he stabbed himsel? dead. “The embalmers got right at them; cleaned them like you would clean fisk, salted, spiced, dried, and perfumed them. When' they got through, the Jew's mummy was a first class one, but it didn't quite come up to the priest’s. They were both plenty good enough to last out the five thousand years to resurrection, according to their beliefs. You see, their idea was that at the end ofythat time, unless a man had his body along in fairly good condition, his soul wouldn't have much hope of getting into eternity. “The priest said in his directions that the two mummies wgre to be placed in stone cases. , He érdered that the Jew’s case should e made to open from the outside. He wanted his own to open easily from the inside. “Then, When you've done that,’ says he, ‘bury U6 in ‘the same sarcophagis’ (That's the tomb they put the mummies in.) Of course the folks carried it all out to truce bas gone too far to admit a tailure at this stage. It 18 no time for despair. The operators have raised Iagitimate objections but it is possible that a plan of agreement under the spirit of the firet suggestion can yet be obtained. 25 VIRGINIA SWEARS OFF. The swearing off of Virginia by its vote for statewide prohibition presents an interesting contrast Wwith the recent election in the prohibition state of Maine where the candidate favorable to Tocal optien was victorious, though such does not bring about any change In its standing as o dry state. V! ginia has accomplished a notable vic- tory through its complete réversal of position and is the sixth state in that section of the country to endorse this policy, Alabama, Georgia, North Caro- lina, Tennessee and West Virginia having preceded and unquestionably lent. their influence in bringing about the change. Though the declaratign at the polls does not séttle the matter, & most im- portant step has been taken, There remalns, to follow the equally essen- tal question of enforcement, for upon that the success of any legislation de- pends. It is absolutely useless to Vpte prohibition and fail to enforce it, but the wish of the majority of the people of the staté 'having been registered that eame force must stand behind the putting of the laws into operation. Virginta hes the experience /of many other states to guide it as well as the widespresd clalm that prohibition fails to prohibit- Thus the manner in which it insists upon the observance of its laws and lives up to its declara- tion is going to be watehed with in- terest throughout the country. It re- mains to be seen what help it can give to that large number of people who are “from Missouri. PRIMARY RESULTS. Far some time the primary has been on trial throughout many states and it has fnvariably brought forth a great number of objections inasmuch as it has failed to mccomplish what was intended. The result has been that the theory js admirable, but it has failed to work out in practice. It has nét always resulted in the selec- tion of the best candidates, it has not brought out the voters~and it has not overcome the widespread use of money or other influences considered detrimental under the old method. Coneerning the primary held Massachusetts this week feld Republican says: stayed. away from the polls have a large responsibility to bear, It is manifest to the wayfaring man that the primary method of making nom- ingtions will not be popularized by that which took place on Tuesday. People have come to feel that the new method is needlessly expensive and burdensome, and this feeling will be increased and not lessened.” There have been exhibitions of what the primary is capable of In. the way of making nomingtions by the results in Pennsylvania and Ilinois. It has not resulted in overcoming control any more than was possible In the crit- icised methods of thy past, That there should be nominafed the best men who are fitted for the service is gen- erally recognized, but that cannot be accomplished without taking Into full consideration human weakness con- cerning such matters. Indifference and the possibilities which that permits still remain to be overcome. the letter and added several things, like painting food on the walls for the ghosts to eat till resurrection; then they buried them amons the families distantly connected to the royal line, near the pyramids. “It's not _generally known that when Professor Ripley was found in the la- boratory there were marks on his throat as if he had_ been strangled. The autopsy showed he died of heart failure, but I say that was probably the result of fear of the murderer who was choking him. That old Bgyptian story I was telling you was transla from some old papyri they foun clutched in his hand. “it was these peculiar circumstances that gave away the murder to me, On the floor lay the remains of a mummy, torn in pieces. Hardlf a crumb of the dried up meat still clung to the broken pieces of the skeleton. Two mummy cases were wide open and both empty, It would have taken a safe expert to open one of them from the outside, but the other would open easily. The first one could have been opened easily from the inside. “The nose of the skull on the floor had a hook that thowed it wes a Jew, and several of the bones had breaks that looked as old as the mummy it- self. If you look up those papyri Rip- ley had you'll see that the bodies must have been buried exactly five thousand years previous to his murder. After five thousand years they expected to be_resurrected— “Sure! T thought you'd see it my way! The Egyptian was getting his revenge when Ripley t to_inter- fere. You see, the pridst's mummy was missing altogether. He had es- caped into eternity.”—Boston Record.

To preserve the memory of the miracle, the plowshares were buried in the cloister of Win- chester and one-and-twenty manors were settled upon the bishopric and church of Winchester, three of which were given by the king, nine by Queen Emma and as many by the bishop him- self. This trial by fire ordeal was not un- common in the time of Richard II and at an earlier period. In the ordeal one pound of iron was enough for a single probation, and three served for a triple one, and none were to be present but such as were fasting.

There wes another equally odd form of punishment known as the trial by scalding water. The accused was com- pelled to take a stone out of scalding water. After the hand was withdrawn it was sealéd up, kept so for three nights, and then opened; if it proved sound and well, thanks were returnel to God for it, but if raw and discolored the accused was considered guilty, At the divorce of Lothaire, King of France, and his Queen Tetherga, by whom he was afterward polsoned, that lady underwent the trial by scalding water, by proxy, and, coming off with- out the least mark or impression, she was received by Lothaire, her husband, and no separation followed.

The most remarkable trial “by fire” recorded in English history is that of Queen Emma. This_lady was _the daughter of Richard II, Duke of Nor- mandy. She was married to Ethelred, King of England, and was the mother of Baward the Confessor. She had a large share in the administration of affairs during her eon’s reign, and had 80 considerable bn interest that Good- win, Earl of Kent, who was chief min- ister, was afraid lof being eclipsed Ly her ascendancy. To get rid of this competition Gool- win charged the queen mother with several crimes and getting some of the leading nokles to sanction his charges, the king, Who was a weak and over- credulous man, made her & visit and selzed her money and estates under pretense that she had enriched herself by avarice and injustice. She was then arrested on three charges: 1. That she consented to the deatl: of_her son Alfred. 3. That she used her endeavor to prevent her eon, the then king, from obtairing the crown. 3. That she maintained a scandalous Aintercourse with Alwyne, bishop of ‘inchebter. For her trial upon these articles the archbishop of Canterbury, in conform- ity with the king’s direction, convened a’synod to investigate the matter. The queen was not heard or in any way in- terrogated by the assembly, and she was found guflty. ‘By way of punish- ment the archbishop directed that Queen Bmma was to go on her bare feet_over nine plowshares heated red hot, in the presence of the clergy and the people, In the ‘cathedral church at Winchestar, and if she receive no harm in this'trial she was to be reputed in- od Nerve-racking, _splitting or dull, throbbing headaches yleld in just a few moments to Dr. James' Headache Powders which cost only 10 cents a package at any drug store.
