NATIONAL CAPITAL
VIOLATORS TO Bfc PUNISHED
Land Department Will Not Overlook
Any I. legal Fencing;.
Washington, July 2.3. In a state
ment isued today, Acting Secretary of
tho Interior Woodruff says prompt ao
tlon w ill bo taken wherever casus of
illegal fencing of public lands are dis
covered but that inspectors and special
land agents are especially occupied this
summer with preventing fraudulent ac-
rjulremcrit of public land. The state
merit follows:
.My attention has been called to
articles In several Western papers to
the effect that tho department of the
Interior will not prosecute any illegal
fencing this year. It would be unfort
unate that such an idea should get
abroad, but it is not true, and if any
depended upon it, they'might get into
serious trouble. I might exrjlain that
the special agent of the general land
ollice and the special Inspectors of the
Interior department will be e-pecially
occupied during the summer with the
moro paramount and immediate duty
of protecting the publia land being ac
quired contrary to the law. For that
ruHon few of thern can be detailed to
search specially for Illegal fencing."
BARS UP AGAINST WOMEN.

sued it and he says he means business.
By the terms of his order, no woman
clerk under him shall in future act as
private secretary or confidential clerk
to a male chief of division or bureau in
the department. Tho order is the di
rect result of the Holmes cotton scand
al case, in which Mre. Bertha Burch

C03TS TWO MILLION TEARS.
I no tail Atnnnnt ot Tim I.nt by
Invalid In fl, nllnl fttnfra
ir misery lovs company, jet tfio
man or woman who Is kept home a day
or so by some seemingly Insigtilllcnnt
uilmeiit reflect that on an nverngo ev
cry American 0n the sick list for
nine days In the year making n total.
tor the eighty million people of tho
t rilled States, of almost two million
years of lllnes. Industrially, two
million years of human life annually go
to 'ate; and, moreover, the sufferers
demand a vast amount of time and
of effort from those who are well. The
Invalid, singly, may seem Insignificant;
In mass, his totals Indicate an enor
mous cost, a pitiful waste, a mighty
problem
Tho cost of Illness Is partly snown In
ngures jirepnred by Dr. I. M. Hall,
who addressed the American Associa
tion for the Advancement of Science
on this subject He estimated that tho
loss of wuges, at an average of a dol
lar a day to every Invalid, would
nmount to more than seven hundred
million dollars a year. The cost of
treatment may easily amount to as
much again. Thus, sickness costs the
United States something like one and
one-half billions annually, a suru not
greatly below the combined value of
the product of our two greatest manu
facturing Industries those of Iron and
steel, and of textiles In the last cen
sus year, 1900.
Of the deaths, tuberculosis claims
one-tenth, pneumonia one-tenth, and
ailments of the heart a somewhat
smaller fraction. This means that
eight million of the people now living
in this country are to die of the first
disease, auotber eight of the second,
six mimon of the third. There Is a
fatalism about figures.
The United States government, ac
cording to Prof. J. Pease Norton of
Yale, does not devote enough money to
fighting disease, If the Imjiortanee of
this enormous waste Is fairly consid
ered. He points out that seven million
dollars Is spent annually by the fed
eral authorities on plant and animal
health. Considering the vast saving
of dollars and days that even a slight
check to the ravages of any of a dozen
of the leading diseases might effect, he
urges that the country should also lay
out a tiny fraction of Its revenue In
measures of national sanitation.
COINS AND FACES ON THEM.
Feat ore of Itulera Abroad. Here
the Emblem of Liberty.
Coins of most of the nations bear
upon them the faces of their rulers. In
the United States each coin has an
emblem of Liberty.
The first coins struck after the for
matlon of the federal union bore the
face of George Washington. Gen.
Washington disapproved of the custom
and It was dropped. It has never been
revived.
Portraits of prominent Americans
appear uion postage stamps, Internal
revenue stamps and pa;er money, but
never on coins. And It has been the
custom to use no portraits of living
men even on the currency and the
stamps.
In England as soon as King Edward
succeeded Queen Victoria the queen's
face gave way to that of Edward on
all the coins and stamps In the British
empire. The accession of a new ruler
In most monarchies means an Instant
change In the design of the coins.
But there Is an exception to the rule
of no portraits ou American coins. Tho
emblem of Liberty on the 1-cent coin
hi the goddess In an American Indian
headdress, but the face shows no char
acteristics of the North American, abo
rigine.
It Is the face of a little girl. Sarah
Longacre Keen, uiwn whose head was
placed the feathered ornament of a
Sioux Indian. Her father was an en
graver and he placed his daughter's
head on the coin.
Sarah Longacre Keen died In Phil
adelphia not long after having served
thirty-five years as the secretary of her
city's branch of the Methodist Women's
Foreign Missionary Society.
Too 111 to Be Biuraed.
"The late Bishop Fitzgerald," said a
St. Louis man, "ouce presided at this
season of the year at the graduation
exercises of a class of nurses. He told
the young womeu a story that pleased
them mightily. Ho said thut during
our war with Spain a certain hospital
had a corps of uurses of exceptlouul
beauty Just such a corps, lu fact, as
tho young ladles ranged before hlmi
would buve made. But It was whls
ered that these fair uurses were In
clined a little to frivolity, Inclined a
little to flirt with the ailing young sol
diers lu their charge. Now, when a
soldier felt that ho wus ou tho mend,
a flirtation with a pretty nurse was
delightful, but when his wounds were
troublesome, then gallantry was a thing
that he was hardly up to. And Indeed
It was said that sometimes a pretty
nurse in this hospital would come to
a favorite Boldler and find him lying
with closed eyes, as If asleep, on hU
cot, and this uote pinned on the couu
terpune: "Too ill to be uursed to-duy.-r-John
Smith.'
A Natural Iteault.
"Do you think that the reading a boy
does affects his career as a man?"
"I'm sure of It," answered the pro
fessor. "The era of gruft now uiou

CURSES ON THE RICH
Darrow Abuses MInecvncrs and
Constitution.
CALLS ORCHARD A VILE THING
Haywood's I awyer Occupies Day by
Torrent of Invective Charge
Attempt to Kill Unions.
Boise, Idaho, July 25. The career
of Frank Steunenberg, the murdered
ex-governor of Idaho, was discussed
at some length by Clarence Darrow
yeHterday In the course of his plea In
uenair or William D. Haywood. Justi
fying tho articles published in the
Miners' Magazine, the official orgam
of the Western Federation of Miners,
tne Chicago lawyer said the action
of Steunenberg in asking for United
States troops to quell riot and the
establishment of martial law In 1899
was unjustifiable and had properly
stirred up Immense feeling In labor
circles against the governor.
Mr. Harrow's argument, unfin
ished when court adjourned, devel
oped into an appeal for labor as
against capital, and a denunciation
of all opposed to the unions. He held
an audience startled and onen-
mouthed as one after another the
sentiments poured from his lips. His
attack on Orchard was expected, and
In this respect he .fulfilled and sur
passed the limit ,of sensation. Three
hours were given to Orchard, and it
was only when vituperation, nhvsl-
cal force and words were spent that
Air. uarrow now turned to James II.
Hawley,
The State of Idaho came In for a
large share of Mr. Darrow's denun
ciation for the part it has played la
the prosecution. Culture, education
and wealth each in turn were de
scribed as constituting a combination
against which the worklngmen, the
uneducated and the poor must ever
be opjiosed. Mr. Darrow sneered at
the universities as purveyors of cul
ture. "And what i3 a cultured man."
he cried, "but a cruel tyrant al
ways?" Keachlng the climax of his denun
ciation in sympathy for the working
class and hatred for the rich, he as-
sanea the Constitution of the coun
try, and cried:
'The Constitution! The Constitu
tion. It is here only to destrv th
laws ' made for the benefit of the
poor."
Mr. Darrow's defense of labor
unions and of union men was pas
sionate and his eulogy of the West
ern Federation eloquent. Lovingly
he touched on the beauty of self-sacrifice

SURVIVORS REACH PORTLAND.
Sixty-Five Complete Voyage on Elder
From Scene of Wreck.
Portland. July 25. With 65 sur
vivors of v the ill-fated Columbia
aboard, the steamer George W. Elder
reached port at 6:30 o'clock yester
day afternoon, after a slow and un
eventful voyage from the scene of
this grim tragedy of the sea of last
Sunday morning. Two thousand
people thronged the narrow landing
place at Martin's dock to meet these
fortunates who were snatched from
the Jaws of death. Many were there
on the happy mission of greeting rel
atives who had escaped. Others went
to make inquiry for some loved one
unaccounted for.
That the wreck was attended by
many scenes of bravery and that the
loss of life was reduced to a mini
mum considering the rapidity with
which the Columbia settled, is the
general verdict. In the fact of the
endless number of miraculous es
capes from drowning, it Is clear that
courage was at hand in plenty among
passengers and crew. Women and
children displayed admirable courage
as well as the men, and there were
few instances of rank cowardice.
