Violation of United States
Statutes.
Whit Coxey Would Have Said.
Washingtok, May 2. Coxey took
some pains to give oat for publication
the copy of a speech be would have de
livered but for the interference of the
police. In the . speech- be takes the
ground that the capitol is the property
of the people and a fitting place to
mourn over their dead liberty. Upon
these steps carpets had been spread for
royalty, and the lobbyists of trusts and
corporations have passed unchallenged
on their way to the committee rooms.
The people were there today to remind
congress of its promise of returning
prosperity when the Sherman act would
be repealed ; to petition for legislation
that would give employment to '-ery
man willing to work and bring unl.irsal
prosperity. lie protested against the
unnecessary act of usurpation and
tyranny in denying the right of petition
and assembly.
COXEI IN A POLICE COURT.
The Industrial Leader Kefore a
Washington Judge.
Washington, May 2. Jacob S. Coxey,
chief of the commonwealers, is under
arrest. The trial of Carl Browne, Chris
topher Columbus Jones and Coxey has
been postponed until Friday before
Judge Miller in the police court. The
charge will be violation of the United
States statutes. The arrest of Coxey
was made today in the police conrt, on
information filed against him last night
of unlawfully displaying banners. Coxey
and Browne's counsel include Repre
sentatives Pence of Colorado, Baker of
Kansas, Kem of Nebraska and Boon of
Minnesota, and Adjutant-General Tarn-
ey," of Colorado. Counsel asked that
$500 in cash be accepted in lieu of real
estate 1 tail for Coxey 'a appearance, but
the judge refused it, and Coxey nnd
Jones were taken to the police station.
Frank Hume, a wholesale grocer, signed
a $500 bond for Coxey and Jones, and
they were released.
Wanted to Hire Coiej'l Army.
Chicago, May 2.-TSpecial. The pro
prietors of No-to-buc. wired General
Coxey this morning and . proposed to
hire his entire army to try No-to-bac,
the well-known, guaranteed tobacco-
habit cure. Druggists say that the sales
on its merits alone are immense. It
was reported here last week that the
tobacco trust tried to buy out the con
cern and stop the sale of No-to-bac, on
account of injury to the tobacco trade.

of this port withCentral America, if
they do not wish to lose it altogether,
Seattle capitalists have interested them
selves in establishing a line of steamers
between Pnget sound and Central
America in opposition to the Pacific
Mail Company. . Already some steps
have been taken toward diverting the
coffee trade of the'Soulh from San Fran

that has heretofore found its way into
local trade channels from Central
America.

Another Day of Terror.
Cleveland, O., May 2. Seven thous
and men again assembled this morning
and marched on a mission of destruc
tion. Every window was broken at the
Variety iron works, and the entire force
of men working run out. At the Upson
nut and bolt -works windows were
broken, machinery smashed and the
men driven away.' Twenty-five men
were driven from the Church furniture
works. All the reserve police, includ
ing the mounted men, have been ordered
out. Many arrests have been made.
Great excitement prevails in the touth
ern part of the city.
MOST BEAUTIFUL OF BIRDS.
The Quezal of Guatemala, Whose Plu
mage Rivals the Rainbow's UrlUIancr.
In the Smithsonian building at AVash-
ington is exhibited one particularly'
perfect specimen of the most beautiful
bird in the world. While its colora
tion is as brilliant as that of any humming-
bird, its superior size renders it
more attractive to the eye, says the '
Star. This is the quezal of Guatemala.
Its plumage vies in brilliancy with
the rainbow and shines with a metal
lic luster. Until within the last few
years it was unknown to science.
mainly owing- to the fact that it is a
hermit among feathered creatures, de
lighting in the silence of deserts. It
dwells on mountain heights above
seven thousand feet in elevation. The
quezal was the royal Jird of the Az
tecs. Its breast is a brilliant scarlet,
while its green tail attains a length
of three feet. Its size is about
equal to a pigeon. Its plumes
were utilized anciently for the
adornment of headdresses and
for the famous feather pictures
of the Mexicans. It nestles" in holes
in worm-oaten trees, which it enlarges
with its bill so as to form a comfort
able and roomy residence. The young
are hatched totally naked. It is the
hardest of all birds to prepare for
stufling-,' because the skin tears like so
mue.lv tissne paper and the feathers are
implanted to so slig-ht a depth that
they readily fall out. A specimen is very
apt to be spoiled by falling against a
branch on being shot. Up to 18(50 nat
uralists did not know where the quezal
was to be found. The few specimens
which had fallen into their hands were
obtained from the Indians of Guate
mala, who kept the secret. About that
time, however, a collector visiting that
country got on the track, went up into
the mountains and shot a number of
the birds. It is said that in ancient
times the skins of all birds of this
species that were killed belonged by
law to the king, and nobody outside of
the royal family was permitted to wear
the plumes. The quezal belongs to the
family of trog-ons. This genus includes
forty-six species, thirty-three of which
are American. All of them are very
beautiful.
. necorated lgs.
in France there exists an order of
merit founded by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of
which the members are dog's who have
distinguished themselves by deeds of
bravery, says the Westminister
Gazette. A tastefully designed
"collar of honor" is awarded to the
nominees of the order. Among the
animals already decorated in this way
one of the most celebrated is Bacchus,
a large bulldog, whose specialty it is
to stop runaway horses by jumping up
and seizing them by the bridle. It is
calculated that the intelligent beast
has already saved the, lives of eight
persons, if not more, in t.his way.
Pataud, another bulldog, received a
collar in 1SS7 for saving his mistress
from the attack of a footpad, and
Turk, a splendid Newfoundland, has
had a similar honor for saving three
young children from drowning on dif
ferent occasions.
Paper Handkerchiefs.
In China printing and writing are al
ways respected and the autographs of
high dignitaries are revered. Upon
ceremonious occasions a great man is
attended by his servant, who hands
him a small piece of paper every time
he wishes to blow his nose. To. use a
pocket handkerchief would be a west
ern innovation and a shocking deroga
tion from the dignity of a mandarin.
Printed or written paper is, however,
never used for this purpose, being con
sidered too sacred.
Poison the squirrels. Sure Shot at
Snipes 4 Kinersly's.
Mrs. Sanders, wife of Professor San
ders, who is now in jail at Fresno,
charged with the murder of William
Wootten, has succumbed to the terrible
mental strain nnder which she has
been suffering almost since February
last, and baa become insane.

CAN THE SEVERED HEAD THINK?
It Would Seem .Mot from These Expert
ments.
Does the head of a decapitated per
son have any of the sensations of life
after being severed from the body?
You may or may not have thought of
this before; at any rate it is without
doubt the most interesting question in
the whole range of physiology, says
the St. Louis Republic. .From the very
nature of such cases we will probably
never know whether there is the least
ray of memory, reflection or real sensi
bility surviving in the brain of man
after the head falls from the block, but
it is only natural that we should inves
tigate the matter as fully as the cir
cumstances will permit.
Some may remember a curious arti
cle printed in the latter part of
1899 entitled "A Dead Eye That
AVinked." In it were given the
details of a- remarkable experi
ment made by Surgeon Velpeau, the
Paris prison physician, on one Dr.
de la Pommerais, who suffered death
by the guillotine. .Tiist before his ex
ecution he arranged with Velpeau that
if the latter would pick up his severed
head, he (Pommerais) would, if it
should be possible for him to do so,
wink three times at the surgeon as a
sign that, although he could not speak,
the faculties of thought, feeling and
sight were still in active operation.
The account gives" .a picture of the
scene when Surgeon Velpeau grasped
the- bleeding head and shouted in the
ear: 'Pommerais, can you thrice close
your right eye while the left remains
open?" The stolid surgeon, familiar as
ho was with blood-curdling sights, was
almost" frozen with horror when he
saw the rig-ht lid slowly fall, while the
left eye looked fixedly at him. "Again!"
he cried, but the lid only quivered, all
sensibility having left the head for
tver. The above and similar stories have
excited the minds of investigators and
much attention has been given the
matter during the last five years. Dr.
Loye, another Paris savant, has been
at the head of the French experiment
ers. They have decapitated hundreds
of poor dumb brutes, mostly dogs, and
the net result of their investigations
seems to be that consciousness disap
pears immediately after decapitation.
In the language of the learned scien
tists, "both portions of the animal or
man so decapitated are instantly put
in a state of rapid asphyxia." This
seems altogether likely, but the ques
tion now arises: "Is consciousness inr
such cases only suspended and would
it be revived if it were possible to re
place the head so that it would occupy
the same physiological position which
it did before being separated from the
body?"

A Foreigner's upiuion.
An opinion of the Coxey army by a
foreign-born citizen, written in his own
way, may prove of interest to our
readers. The following letter was re
ceived today from a neighboring locality.
It will be seen that he has well-defined
ideas on the question, though his con
struction of English may be a little
faulty :
Editor Chbonicle : It is vejry hard
to call those poor men vagabonds. All
of them cannot be vagrants and tiamps.
There mnst be good, honest men among
them, men that have families to take
care of. Editor, it is .very hard for a
man to stand when his child is calling
for bread and he has none to give.
Now, if he is a man at all and is willing
to work, but cannot get any, and he is
too honest to steal, he is going to go to
the spot where the cause lays. Why,
Editor, right in our own county there
are families in very bad fix, if you only
knew it, and will be until the crops are
in. The county is hard after the taxes.
People have no mdney and don't know
where to get it, if it don't come from the
crops. On the other hand, the county

has and will teed the poor. If the noor
man's place will be sold for taxes,
there ' will be still more poor for the
county to feed. I think it will be better
not to disturb the bee's nest.
Editor, can you blame those men.
Chinamen . have taken , washing away
from the sisters;. Chinamen nursing
babies in the place of the daughters;
Chinamen do all what our poor women
could do and more of them coming by
thousands. These are the ones who are
worse than vagrants. I got acquainted
with them in the California mines.
Editor, the time has gone long ago when
men could get on the hills of California
and Oregon $1.50 a day with a pick and
shovel. There is no sense, in that.
What are they to eat when they are
looking for that $1.50? Editor, I do not
like to say what I think about this
Coxey army, but when the time comes,
just as well load cannon with money and
fire it right among them. Editor, a few
years ago this la grippe came to our
country and on our people but I tell you
democratic administration is worse than
la grippe. What do you think? Editor.
I am foreign, born but I served my time
in the American ship to be a citizen of
this land and a black republican and I
am yours truly, J. P. H.
