A few things usual ly observed by visitors might be of in terest, however, to those unacquainted.

Not (ur away on Broadway is the frtoek Kxchungo, where fortunes are made ami lost in a single day. Our visit to this wonderful place was interesting from that lact alone, for what we saw was Greek to us. It was like a crowd of lunatics turned loose in a room to gether, the like of which can bo seen in the Oregon I limine Asylum every day. A ride out on Riverside Drive was very pleasant, viewing on the one side the lludaon river and on the other a row of millionaire mansions. Situated nearly at the upper end of this drive, is Grant's tomb, the one place that a visitor should not miss seeing. To go inside is awe in spiring, and the visitor on entering at once doffs his but and looks in silence at the sepelchur where lion the body of our great general ami president, and by its side is another for the hero's wife when the hand of time shall call her borne. A few blocks from here takes us to Central Park, where the rich and jtoor alike are wont to enjoy an hour away from the city's din. Fashion in all that it is claimed can bete Ihj seen, in turn outs that are as swell as they make them. The most wonderful thing to be seen in the park is the Egyptian Obelisk. It stood nearly -11)00 years near Alexandria, Egypt, and was given to the city by Ismail Puuha, the Khe dive of Egypt, in 1877, when it was brought to this country and placed in Central Park.

The next jxiint of interest to a visitor is ltarthaldi's Statue of Liberty Knlight ning the World, on Iledloe's Island. It is mailu of copiwr ami was given to the city not many years ago by the man whose name it bears. Only a few min utes ride out on the bay from Castle Garden and the statue is reached, from the top of w hich a Itrand view is ob tained of New York, Urooklyn ami Jer sey City, all seemingly within a stone's j throw . A day was taken to go out to Coney Island, the famous bathing resort. Street cars, elevatetl railroads and steamers make regular and frequent trips, and one can take their choice. We took the electric car and crossed over the East river on the renowoed Brooklyn bridge to Urooklyn, viewing that beautiful city as we passed through it. Invoking up the river from the lirooklyn bridge, another bridge now being constructed can be een not many blocks away. It w ill lie similar to the Brooklyn, but will be made entirely of steel and more modern in construction. The ride out across Long Island to the sea shore is refreshing, and on arriving there a plunge in the surf is more so. . There are numerous attractions at this famous resort, and it is likened unto the Midway at Buffalo, with its Scenic Rail way! Chutes, Ferris Wheel on a small ! scale, Steeple Chase, etc. We will leave the reader here and take another plunge In the surf, for fear of becoming over heated in this tropical climate. Madeline, Northern Terminus. It is stated that when the N-C O. rails re laid to the northern border of Made line Plains a new town will spring into activity. The railroad will then have been completed one hundred and fifty miles north of lteno, and Madeline w ill be made the end of the first division. It is thought that machine shops, stock yards and feeding corrals will at once be built, besides a big hotel, livery stable and other business places. It is thought the railroad will reach Madeline in October. at the Pan-American. THE MOON. ew. w:, HOMESTEADERS, Must Live on Claims or Lose Them. Tiie Secretary of the Interior has hand ed down a decision of great interest rela tive to the tenure of homestead claims. He holds that the homesteader must actually live upon the land tiled or his entry w ill le null and void. The decision is given in the cases in which the homestead entries of Ik-maid McGaraghan and William Lupton up on land in Humbolt county were con tested by Henry Bra-e and William Elsemorn. The judgment in the local Land Ottice sustained the decision and finally a second appeal to the Secretary of the Interior has been met with an affirmation of the decision of the lower tribunals. "The reason for the loss of their claims by these eutrymen," says the decision, "was that they did not live upon the land in question, as provided by the homestead laws. The fiction that it is only necessary to go upon the land once in six months and stay over night in a cabin has deceived many a homestead entryman. It requires resi dence, improvements and cultivation to bold the land, and it mnst be continuous, or as nearly so as i-.ircumstances will permit. "A person w ho has a homestead entry can go to some other place and work to earn a living for a time, if necessary; but his homo must be on the land and nothing else w ill take th place of resi dence and improvement. "Those who tell homestead entrymen that they need only go to the land oc cassionally and stay over a uight or two in the cabin erected as an excuse for a dwelling, do injustice to the entrymen, who must often ioa their claims by ac cepting it. Because some entries are made aud the land patented under such circumstances, when no contest is en tered it must not be inferred that the law requires nothing more than a cabin, a little fence or clearing and au occa sional visit to the land embraced in a homestead entry. f-.VV MODOC WAR ! IS STILL ON ; Lynchers Forced To j Keep Silence. The Modoc lynching capes, and com- plications growing out of them, are be ; f jre the Supreme Court in a variety of ways, says the San Francisco Chronicle. ' There have lieen a numlter of develop ! ment, too, in Modoc county. Four J men are rortoiied in jtil there, three ! charged with lynching and the other i held as witness. All are frantically trying to get out. Their lawyers, John ; E. Paker and G. F. IUrris, who were I adjudged guilty of contempt by Judge Harrington, tre endeavoring in a num ler of ways to "get back" at the Judge. Meantime, the people of Lookout are as much worked up as ever, apparently over the lynching and its train of evils. One or two men said to have had a hand in the lynching, have left the country. Another, Claud Morris, afraid of being charged with complicity, started for Adin, to tell the authorities .that lie knew about the murderers. He was overhauled by alleged lynchers on horses aud bicycle and forced to return to Ixxikout with his lips sealed It is said he was threatened with death if be told the story of the lynching and named the parties thereto. When the news cf this episode was re ceived at Lookont, and Morris was brought back by his pursuers, the father of the would-be confessor suddenly grasp ed, threw- up his hands ami died. It was bin first intimation that bis son had knowledge of the atrocious Hall-Yantis murders. Then the story went around Modoc county and it seems to be true that tho lynchers had given oa.tb about the crime, and to kill any of their number who confessed. The Chronicle gives this sensational piece of news as a fact, but relatives of Claud Morris strenuously tleny it. Mor ris Sr. did not die under the circuni Btsnces related. Mr. Morris diet! sud denly w bile seated on the porch at his retddence, while his wife 'vs preparing a meal for him. lie had been in bad health for a long time, and when he tlied no one had been talking with him. Young Morris' relatives believe that he had nothing to do with the Lookout lynching, and that if he had, "he is not one of the kind to have entertained the intention of 'squealing.' " Attorney Raker, says the Chronicle, w as in the Supreme Court last week trying to get a wricof prohibition against Judge Harrington in the case of Robert Leaventon, one of the accused men. Leaventon takes advantage of section 170 of the revised Code of Civil Procedure, which provides that a change of venue shall be granted upon the filing of an affidavit by either party to a cause that the Judge is biased. Many such appli cations for writs of prohibition and mandamuses are now Itefore the Supreme Court, litigants seeing a chance to Dring out the question of the constitutionally of the revised codes and thereby tie the hands of the courts until the Supreme -Court passes upon the question. District Attorney E. 0. Bonner of Mo doc county and Deputy Attorney-General George A. Sturtevant were also in court, the latter representing Judge Harrington of Modoc county in his an swer to the alternative writ of prohibi tion issued by the Supreme Court in tbe Kaker-Harris contempt cases. Albert Colburn, the witness languish ing in Alturas jail, is so anxious to get out, and so reluctant to testify in the lynching cases, that he has made another attempt, through the inevitable Raker, to get out by appealing to the Supreme Court. Colburn alleges that he was offered $1000 to testify by Dawes, a dec toctive employed by the State, aud that Deputy Attorney-General Sturtevant concurred in this attempted subordina tionof perjury. Other startling allegations are made by Colburn or by Raker lor him, among them the charge that Judge Harrington is so biased that he is deter mined to convict the alleged lynchers, whether or no. One of the affidavits prepared by Raker declares that Judge Harrington registered an oath that ii the accused men were not convicted he would leave the bench and shake the lava dust of Modoc county from his feet.
