Judge McNutts's decree of ouster
and perpetual injunction against the pretenders, the jSkwh b»i maintained they hail no authority of the city's affairs and the Nxws was and is correct.
T** Gazette stands with the Expresin favor of the compromise, of the mete, and therefore taking money from the city treasury to pay for a service not recogni*#d by Judge McNutt's decree.
A xcmbkr of saloon men are filled with unhappy thoughts and with the tongue they give them exprenion. Tney complain bitterly and as those without hope that thoj have been bled to support the metropolitan case and crowd, and that all effort hMbem in vain*. Itiasaa. tenders does not nullify nor impair the decree and injunction of the superior court When they or their agents abused and assaulted the city attorney and Chief Davit, they put their heads in a halter, as well & themselves in contempt That's the size of it.
Kmp it before the people that the so called metropolitans fwimo to be in authority in the face of a decree which ousted them. Since this decree was rendered, they have the gall and cheek to demand a compromise of tho city author itiee, and thus take money from the city treasury to which they have no right
Referring to the met case in the courts, the Express said this morning: "Any one who prolongs this contention must be held responsible for the loss to the city."
Will the Express come out of the shadoway realm of insinuation long enough, and be honest enough, to say just who it is that is prolonging the "contention?"

Ir reports are true, and there pre good reasons for believing them, there has been a good deal of sympathy writ 3d by the Express and Guaette on tho metropolitan heads ot the police department in the matter of pay. It Hi aw$rt«4 that the saloon keepers have paid their salaries, and there must be some truth in it or the saloons would not makn such bitter complaint concerning the heavy money drain made upon them. Perhaps the compromise demanded by the Bxpress and Gasette w*s for Use purpose of r»-lmbux*iojr the saloons from the city tre—nry. It now looks like it
Prr this and that together. The Gasette and the Express favor the alleged offer of compromise. Th** oompromieo means the payment of the metrogtolitaa headt) of the department from the city treasury. Now, it ki asserted on the street they hare been paid by coniribatioua of the saloons, for the latter oom* plain bitterly of the fact that they have been at great expense in fighting the city anthorities and defending the metropolitan aide of the case.
Is it not thereiore&nst possible thai the and unremitting contention of the Giuistte a&d the Express k» a campusmice, baa lor lis object the tw-inbuiw* mutt, on the sly, of the saloons from the City's tNNttury? It 1* possible that there to richness her* II it were uncovered.

courage, Up to 1872 be held several public positions under bis state and was then elected to represent the second district in Congress and served continuously six terms. Judge Honk always carried his diairict by overwhelming majorities ranging from 8,000 to 13MJ0G. He was re-elected last yesr in some division in his own party and against one of the most stubborn contests the Democrats ever made, by more than 8,000 majority. Judge Houck was a strong fighter, able and pugnacious, and ss a result, he was the best hated republican in Tennessee, by the opposition. The onion soldiers of his State have lost their best friend. He was a hard worker in their interest and never neglected a draft upon h{* time or h^ effort
Judge Houk's death resulted from »king a solution of arsenic by mistake for another preparation which a druggist had prepared for him.
WOULD GOUGE THE CITY The Exprers and the Gazette btand together in demanding that the city treasury be bled to pay the heads of the socalled metropolitan system, for it says: "So long pi a judge of the court says to the present police officials, "remain where you are, in charge of the city polite force," just so long will they be empowered to claim pay from the city.'
The court has not said to them to "remain where you are." On tho contrary, the superior court has issued a decree ousting every mother's son of the metropolitans, the heads of departments as well as the board itself, and it embodied in that decree a perpetual injunction against them, one and all. They are now in contempt of Judge McNutt's court for an attempt to "remain wheie they are."
But to another point above asseiied by tho Express. No judge has said to the metropolitan police officials: "Remain where you are, in charge of the city police rce." We defy the Express to point out the judge sud the court and the time that gave- such an order since the decree of ouster wn issued. It is not true in any sense. And the Express cannot substantiate its portion.
This unjustifiable and untruthful statement of the Express is in line with its whole course which has been one of giving aid and comfort to those who by every quibble and technicality and legal effort have sought to fasten upon th'i city a system of government that is repelled and hateful to an overwhelnrng majority of our people.
The Express and the Gazette Hvor filching the money of the tax payers from the city treasury to pay for a serv ice not ordered by the city, and for a service for which his honor, Judge Mc Nutt, has decreed does not exist in law
These are facte of which the people are well aware. The Express is nothing else than an enemy of the people, opposed alike to their lights decided by the courts, snd the iigh*i of their representatives elected, to ouncll to control
NO LOOTING OF THE TREASURY. One of the metropolitan commission era has admitted that tho heads of departments under them applied for and accepted the positions they occupy with the full knowledge that the metropolitan police law would be contested and with the knowl therefore that the matter of pay for any sei vice they rendered would be a matter of doubt, yet the Ex press and the Gazette are attempting the role of bulldozing and frightening the council into the belief that these heads of departments can successfully main tain an action against the city and recover lor their services. -.% I ll'hey cannot do so. No councilman need take on any fear on this point, and
The
News refuses to believe that any republican member will lose bH head or self-possession at the bulldoiing conrs« of either of the metropolitan gang organs—the Express and the Gasette. Let the council stand firm aud protect the city treasury against the efforts of these outside Arsons to get their bands into it, and the people of the city will endorse them.
Hie metropolitan police law was the child of the saloon. Every man of sense knows that Let the saloon and the saloon organs loot the bills of their offspring. No looting of the treasury must be permitted. It would be an outrage on the tax-payers to pay one red cent to t3be ousted metropolitans. There would be no fairness In such a thin#. The metropolitans are in no sense in the employ of the city, and the city is under no legal nor moral obligation to them in the sum of one cent The law will not hold so either. The council must sUtnd firm and inunovabfci against the proposed outrage of the looters' organs,—the Express and Qawtta

Recent naval advices from Auckland, New Zealand, brought news of the death ot Tamasene, the would-be King and pretender to the throne of
Si-*3'''
It Wlls my*privilege and good fortune to be actively engaged with others in operations against Tamaseso and his rebel army in Samoa in the fait of 1888 and spring of 1889, while acting in the capacity of a correspondent in that far distant country, writes John C. Klein in the*New York World. It will be remembered that immediately after the dethronement of Malietoa Laupepa, the Bang of Samoa, bv a German naval force, because of a mythical offense, and his deportation to the Cameroon islands, on the west coast of Africa, the German forces set up Tamasese as his successor, knowing bun to be a scamp who would be a pliable tool in their hands and a puppet who would move as they might pull the Htrings.
He had aot the shadow of a claim to the throne, not being a member of the royal family by blood connection or in any other way.
When Malietoa Laupepa was kid"Twipped, virtually, from Samoa, Mataafa, who ha# been well termed by
American residents the **George Washington of Samoa," was chosen to succeed him. Mataafa received the strongest moral and practical support of American and English residents but bis ascendancy to the throne, backed by the popula'r will of two-thirds of the native population, was in direct opposition to the plans made by the Germans. The armies of Mataafa and of Tauiasese therefore went to war,the former having about 5,000 fighting men, armed with breech-loading rifles, but suffering from a scarcity of ammunition, while the rebel forces numbering -1,000,1 also had repeating rifles, some of the insurgents having two guns each. Of ammunition they possessed an almost inexhaustible supply, furnished bv the

army, then encamped near Mulinun Point, close to Apia, after having committed outrages on the property of American citizens living in the Vicinity, looting their houses and loudly extfftg &nd ^heTTniXedlStatf Govern menT generallv, was forced to retreat from its position, largely because of the unmistakable note of warning sent to Tamasese by gallant Capt Richard P. Leary, commanding the United States man-of-war Adams, who notified him that the rebel forces were partly occupying territory owned by an American citizen, and that :u view of the outrages committed on Americans and their property it would be healthier for the rebel forces to leave the immediate vicinity forthwith. Tamasese took the hint and moved with his army to the village of Lautu-Annu, six miies up the coast from Apia.
Mataafa's army followed the "rebels closely, tke King locating his head Quarters on the seashore near the mid le of the Orescent formed by the bay His army occupied lines "extending back in the mountains about six miles end opposing the rebel lines, Much of the hard fighting occurred in the ira mediate vioinity of Mataafa's head Suarters, and being an oocupantof the jng's house for several months I was an eye-witness, if nothing more, of maoy hard fights and skirmishes, Mataafa, with the heart of a lion, personalty directed his troops in several of the more important fights, bnt Tamasese, whose courage was not particularly great, contented himself with slaying in his house, safe within his fortress, during the conflicts, deputing the' Immediate command Of the rebel trooj# to their chief Snatele, who at least had the saving quality of courage. This was particularly the case of the battle of Lautu-Annu, fought early in Novernier, when Mataafa's forces attacked tbt fork Over one hundred men were killed in this tight, the heads of sixty being cut off by the opposing forces.
While Tamasoaw was a physics 1 cow ard, heJikewi-e possessed poor business judgment. In proof of this it may be mentioned that on learning that I was engaged in giving all possible aid to Mutaafa's cause,lie announced that a good price wou$d be paid for my bead delivered to him without the body. That such an offer on the part of TamaMse exhibited his willingness to enter into a poor barK&ia I am willing to admit, but after all, honors were easy, far it was tacitly nadersiood by the so!di«rs of the loyal army that If the bend of fierr Beaiidei*, a German adv&otaner who acted as adviser to Tomaseate, and who was largely responsible for the existing row, should in some mysterious way become severed from his body, then the person performing such a surgical operation would not be a financial loser thereby* But neither Rr. ndeis nor I bad our beads amputated, so that's another _'

AN EOYPTlAN WEDDINQfefj WNs tlw K»» TS| Bride'#
It was In the Barragq, that bridge or double weir, the eastern part manning the Damiotta and the western taa Rosetta branch of the Kile. It was there that the lata khedive built a lovely palace and e'tlll more lovely garden, which he perhaps graced with his presenoe onee in his life and left to decay, just as all I|yptianB have done since tho world begun, never renewing never reviving but building aa a child would build a toy houses to puli down and begin another. An American en-
ieer, of the half doxen retained has charge of the bridge, and it Is ho who walks under the shadow of the palms and gathers the wild roses and eats the golden oranges that whether or ho blossom and bear fruit in the deserted garden.
It was from the balcony of his housa a part of the old palace, looking out on th© beautiful blooming country, the grten fields, the lovely, mysterious river, that we saw a calvacade approaching and heard the sound of the lute and pipe "It is a fantasia," exclaimed our host—a fantasia meaning any fete or festa. Down the long white road they oame, a procession of horsemen on white Arabian steeds, the last man dressed in handsome raiment and bearing himself with the proud air of one upon whom all eyes were fixed.
Next him strode a groom and caparisoned camel with a rich blanket and embroidered saddle, and after this another camel with even more gorgeous trappings, who bore a rioh palaquin curtained on every side with gold and crimson hangings. Within Bat the bride. Following the bride were three other camels, on which were seated veiled women, and then came a train carrying household furniture, bedding stuffs, ^cheats, pots and pans and all the various appurtenances essential tc housekeeping and furnishing in an Oriental country.
It was tho bride coming to the husband's house, the last day of the wedding, and the conclusion of the seven days' feasting. In a few hours he would for the first time lift the veil to see whether, indeed, what his mother has told him is true whether she is almond-eyed,'and rosy, and supple ot limb, and graceful of foot whether she has a voioe like the cooing of a dove and is learned in the making of bread and dakkah, for not one glimpse of her face, not one word from lipa, has ever been vouchsafed hiq?,. Poor follow! Do those brilliant curtains shroud loveliness or deformity?
Has tho mother been won over by tho pile of stuff and tho ear-rings and bracelets to fancy beauty where thoro are only riches? It has happened so in other lands. But the bride—have I no pitying words for the bride, who also is supposed to be ignorant of the lineamonts of her husband? The bride is the woman there are windows, though lattioed windows, in the house in the village over the plain, and the brown eyes were never darkened when, veiled and shrouded, she went to tho mosque or well. We may be sure the bride has seen him many a day and oft, and loved or hated him after tho fashion of women who, heaven be praised, do not need a century of wfieufertheif Kartford Courant.
A Bono Eat fir.
There Is a man in town who eats bones, and who is known among his friends as the "great American bone eater," says the Now York Sun. He is a scientist, and when a question was put to him he said: "I do not follow this habit for any fantastic reason. I believe that the organic chemical elements found in bones, such as phosphate and carbonate of lime, are greatly needed in the human frame for the development of tho osseous system. I do not make a dinner of bones, but merely take a little bone delicacy at times, when not in company. I will go through the rib-bones of a spring chicken or quail, or what not. I will have the grilled leg bones of a young chicken, which are easily eaton when well grilled, bones of a sucking pig or of a lamb and, in fact, there are sundry bones that can be prepared in various ways to the advantage of the eator. I have had benefit from bone ©at?-g, and I know several bono eaters. Sen of the African negroes, who are very strong, eat the bones of game after msT liig them crisp at the fire, and the Woks tell of the bone eaters pf .Eu i\pe in olden times. I would advise you to get a few dainty bones In nice order and try them." ijfcl II,.,i

No dotibfc the old Egyptians mummified pretty nearly everything that died. In December, 1890, Prof. L. Bee km an n, a noted Egyptobogist, procured thrcyigh a friend in Cario the mummy of an animal found in the neighborhood of Thebes. This mummy was sent to him as being that of a cat. but upon olose inspection it proved to be that of a small domestic canine of the sire of a greyhound. Mummies of dogs are much rarer than those of oats, which are found in large numbers, and the specimen sent to him differs in many essential points from the mummy of its feline partner in the old Egyptian household.
Figure 1 represents the outward appearance of the mummy.* In color it is of a dirty, yellowish white and deep asphaltunfbrown. It is possible that the eves and lips were formerly tinted, but no positive evidence remains as to the certainty of that statement. Tho thing is wrapped in fine material of a close weft, a j-tuff that is a mixture of linen and silk. Over tho entire front part of the body is drawn a delicate tress-work made of narrow strips of the name fine goodn and in the shape of a chemisette. The head, with ears still raised, is given its natural proportions b3- several l«3*ers of this stuif being pasted over the real head. Still another piece is wound arouud the

There is not a shaip to be seen anywhere, nor the smallest piece of thread with which the various pieces are fastened together. Tho edges of the different garments com^ posing tho funeral wardrobe of tho defunct canine are all neatly tucked un der, and seemingly pressed down with some heavy object, as with a flatiron. With the exception of the asphaltum nothing else is used hut a kind of colorless mucilage with which the whitp material has been pasted together.
Fig. 2 shows the mummy in profile and No. 8 with its outer wrap thrown off. The body is filled out and very evenly wound with ropes of reed-grass tied together in innumerable simple,

hut highly peculiar knots. Underneath this are layers of reed-gram, piled leugthwise to giVb it the uniform shape.
Fig. 4 reveals the mummy in its last, i. e. first endowment of clothing. This consists of several bandages of some coarser material than the first, and below that is still another material, reminding one of the quality of bagging. This it so abundantly saturated with asphaltum that, together with the epidermis of the skin and the coat of hair, it has formed an inextricable mass of black. The ears, "which are pr esssed close to the head have joined the procession of all that remained "fleshy" of the canine, and became part of tnis sable composition.
The skeleton was hung together by the dry, shrunken skin. Some of the bones, however, were in an excellent state of preservation, tile skull being baldly distinguishable from one only lately prepared. The teeth seemed to be splitting lengthwise. Judging from its masticators the dog must nave been about 1§ years old.
