A WONDERFUL STONE.
That la. It Would lie Wonderful If the
Story Wrre True-
One of tho mos -recently discovered
inexplicable phenomena Is an Immense
eectrcal stpne which crops on above
ground In an almost Inaccessible moun.
tain pass aomo fifty or sixty miles
north of The Needles in Arizona.
The stono Is described as being a
rough jagged outcropping bursting
up through the shale of Its surround-
ings reaching up the mountain side to
tho hc!h of about seven feet when
a .harp projection shelves over again
making a trrgfdd tuunp). peFhanij
nlno fcot long and Ave feet wide Ordt
narlly thu rock Is of blue metalllo lus-
ter and shows traces of volcanic action
being seamed and ribbed as if melted
by lava. In the heat of the day when
the sun shines squarely upon It the
stone assumes a faded pale-bine hue
At wldch times the Indium deolsro HUl
bo perfectly harmless. A the aun leaves
the gorge however tho atone begins
gradually to dcerw-u lit color and when
night comes and there Is no moon it
glows with all tho brilliancy of a mol-
ten ;n.aaj. This lumlnatloa may be
distinctly seen for a great distant?
vhcn tliero are no Intervening mquu-
tains to obstruct the view.
Now as to the peculiar death-giving
power of the atono. It la said that
nothing great or small can set foot
upon It and lire. So powerful arc the
volts which It gives out at even the
slightest contact that It Is lmposslblo
for even tho largest animals to with-
stand their strength.
Recently a party of hunters ventured
without a mitde Into some of the more
dangerous mountain parses In the njj
country and by chanco found their
way into a narrow gorge having coma
In hot pursuit after a littlo fleet
Umbod mountain goat which they
managed to start from the rocks be-
low. Suddenly when they were all
Seventy or eighty feet away they were
astonished beyond measure to see the
goat fall dead In his tracks although
4 shot had not been fired. ' They were
making ready to climb up the ledge
and securo the littlo creature when an
pld Indian high up on the cliff behind
called on them to stop. So t rarttlp was
Ills manner and so persistent )W ad
monitions that they waited till ho
scrambled down to them and then for
the first time came to light tho story of
tho electrical wonder.
The goat had fallen within tho death
trap tho Indian explained and had
tho hunters followed after him they
too would have shared his fate. There
was ample evidence at band to prove
to the hunters the truth of the old
man's btateracnt for the little gorge
surrounding the stono has been turned
Into a perfect charnel house full qf
tho whitening bones pf U victims
And If this were not enough to con.
Tlnco tho most skeptical whllo thoy
stood within thirty feet of the atone a
big rattlesnake crawled up the preel
plco and out upon tho stono only to
coll and writhe and finally die In the
tntensest agony. Philadelphia Times.

While Judgo Parker has just said
that tho (rial by jury of tho victn-
rto was n back numbor and be-
longed to tho judiciary of fivo cen-
turies ago it appears tho fuprcmo
court thinks tho judgo himself
aomowhat aged in somo of his rul-
ings. In instructing tho jury In a
caso whero'solf defenae was set up
ho said as related by tho Now
York World:
Everywhere oxcept within his
own houso tho law requires a man
to' run aWay and do Ins best to es-
capo from an assailant before kill-
ing him. Tho judgo further said
that when assaulted on his own
premises but ouhido ol his house
n man must show his senso of dan-
gor by efforts to escape beforo his
plea that ho killed his nssnilant to
savo himself from great bodily
harm can bo accepted.
This instruction was handed
down from ancient times when
wcapona of assault consisted of
knives bludgeons swoids etc.
which an activo man had some
chance oi escaping. Hut it is not
appiicablo these days of revolvers
and winclicuors whoso bullets no
man can dodgo or outrun and the
United States supremo court has
sent it to tho back letter lumber
garret.
The man sentenced to eight
years' imprisonment by tho Ar
kansas judge obtained from tho
supreme court an order fur a new
trial under a now instruction.
This now instruction declares that
wherever rt man may bo if lie has a
right to be there anil if ho has not
himself provoked tho ussaull the
law justifies him in standing his
ground and killing his assailant
provided tho provable circum
stances aro such as to satisly ajury
that ho had reasonable grounds for
believing and acted on the belief
that the killing was necessary to
protect himself from great bodily
harrr).
Putting any further limitation
on tho right to kill in solf defense
would abolieh it altogether. Ar
kansas is only one ot tho many
states in which a man may have
to decido very hastily whether ho
shall bo tried for killing n fellow
citizen or lot a fellow citizen bo tried
for killing him. In theso ciscs
withhis attention excitedly fixed
on his assailant he lias no timo to
get legal advice or to study tho
necessities of the situation through
tho eyes of bystanders. Court and
jury will do that aftorward and
no is under restraint enough when
ho knows tbat inavinrr hirnsolf
from the peril ol life moment he in-

It was on tho banks of tho Ar-
kansas river in Indian Territory
that I mado the acqualotanco of
this method of as a friend of
mino would say "spoiling good
liquor" Tho famous Indian cham-
pion Mr. Boudinot introduced mo
to a planter whoso two cabins Bide
by side and joined by a singlo roof
formed tho most picturesque homo
that I saw on that splendid river.
I was introducod as plain"mi8ler"
but that would not tlo down there
"Colonel Ralph" said the
planter ''enjoy this yer boundless
panorama of nature. Feast yo'
eyes sah on tho beautiful river."
(Then aside' "Wifo set out the
mixin's in tho back room.") "Col-
onel Ralph you are welcome to
share with us this grand feast of
scenery and nature's ornamonts.
But sah I think my wife has set
out somothing just a little some-
thingin tho house. I dun'no'
what it is sah but if you find it
good. I shall bo delighted sah."
So wo went into tho back: room
with this other Colonel Mulberry
Sellers and thero on tho dining-
table stood a bottle a bowl of
sugar threo glasses and spoons
and a glass pitcher lull of spring
water.
"Serve yourself of ft toddy col-
onel "said my host.
"I'll watch you first" said I; "I
don't know what a toddy is."
"Don't know what a toddy is?"
said tho hospitable man. "Why

'As"he upoko ho dipped some
sugar into his glass poured in a
little water sufficient to make a

As a rule wo do not take ocens-
slon to oxpreBS slighted feolingi
upon the'recoipt of a polito request
to "atop the paper." The par-
ticular instance indicated.howovcr
prompted tho discovery of the fol-
lowing story: Ah" acquaintance of
Horaco Greoloy got ofTendod at
ono of his articles in tho Now York
Tribuno wont to the office and
put an end to his subscription.
Lator in tho day ho ni-t tho editor
and said "Mr Oreolfcy I've stop-
ped your paper." "Have you?"
inquired Horace adding "Well
that's too bad" and tho old white
hat went its way. Tho noxt morn-
ing Greely encountered his former
subscriber again nnd accosted him'
with "I thought you had stopped
tho Tribuno." "So I did." "Then
there must bo a mistako" replied
Horaco "for I just came from tho j .
office and when I loft tho p'rSSscs-" "
wcro running as usual tho clerks
werobusy as cver.tlio compositors
wcro hard at work and tho busi-
ness soing on tho sama as vostor-
day and the day before." "Ohl"
jacuiated tlio subscriber "I didn't
mean that I had stopped tho paper.
I slopped only ono copy of it be-
causo I didn't liko ono of your
editorials." "Phawl" rrlortod
Groeley "It wasn't worth taking
up my time to toll me such a trifle
as that. My tlear sir if you ox-
poct to control tho utterances of
tho Tribune by the purchase of
ono copy a day or if you expect to
find any nowspaper worth reading
that will never express convictions
at right angles with your own you
are doomed to disappointment.
Goodbye." Ex.
In tho mattor ot tho J. W.
Hayes cstato in the Cherokco na-
tion the court has appointed Mr.
N. IJ. Moxey as special commis-
sioner to take evidence and hear
tho claim of Mrs. Dr. Harrison
against tho administration for an
heir's sharo ol tho property. Mrs.
Dr. Harrison is a daughter of Mr.
Hayes by a former wife who was
a whito woman and not a Chero-
kee citizen. After her death Mr.
Hayes married ti Cherokco and
other children who wero Chero-
keos were added to tho family.
Under the lawa usage Mrs. Har-
rison not being n citizen could
not inherit any of tho individual
or property rights of citizenship
and tho administration does not
recognizo her right to inherit
equally with Mr Haye'a Cherokco
children lrom tho father's estate.
Sinco tho title to tho Indian land
is vested in the Indian govern-
ment and cannot rest in the indi.
