Death would be kind compared with
the jealous misery the coquet inspir-
ed. Perhaps the fever CT iher Indian
blood fired the veins of this Southern

at, and her pleading treated with
scorn.

Narrow Escape.

One of the most remarkable cases
of mistaken identity occurred at
St..Louis the other day. Herman
Schuster, Teutonian resident, was

and that his body was lying at the
Morgue. To that cheerful resort
he hied himself without delay,
only to find the newspaper state.

could trust his own eyes. Like
most Germans, however, having a
strong love of life, he was not in-
clined to give it up without an ef-
fort to prove his continued right TO
it, in spite of the preponderance of
evidence against him, and pro-
ceeded to make careful exami-
nation Of his primo facie cadaver.
Everything, even to the clothes
worn by the dead man, seemed to
confirm the identity of the corpse,
until he discovered that its eyes
were blue. "Dot ish PETER" said
Herman, with sigh of relief.

The Fabulous Yield of the Be.
nanZaS.
From tho San Francisco Post.)

(From tho San Francisco Post)
Credible authority estimates the
total yield of precious metals in
Peru from 1880 to 1903 at $l,232,-
100000, of which three mines-the
Cerro de Pasco, Hualgayoc and
Huantazaya-yielded in round
figures $S50,000,000. Nearly two
fifths Of this enormous sum was
the product of the Cerro de Pasco
mine. But the $40, 600, 900 yielded
by this historical mine was the ag.
gregate for period of 173 years.
Between 1915 and 1889 the total
yield of Potosi was 81, 900, 900 900.
The present yield of the 1000 or
more mines In the district is less
than $2,500 600 annually. Com
pared with the product of the bo-
nanzas, these mines, which placed
Spain in the front rank of the ma
tions of the earth, and through
which only her great military and
naval achievements were possible
these tales of elmost fabulous
wealth pale into insignificance.
OF the $275, 100000 which the Com
stock lode has yielded since its dis.
covery twenty years ago, $100, ,000,-
600 has been taken from the Con-
solidated Virginia and California
mines. Nearly every dollar of this
vast amount has been taken out
since 1878.

I" Psychology" Rampant In Los
Angeles.

Up till the present date George
Francis Train has been permitted
to epgross all the claims to 'psy-
chology" in The United States.
George Francis claims that, through
his pea nut and vegetarian diet, he
has developed an exceptional soul
and magnetic power. There is a
Spaniard in Les Angeles to-day,
named Mariana, who seems to be
away ahead of George Francis.
Through the influence of animal
magnetism, pure and simple, he
assumes to possess the property of
healing not only Ordinary diseases
but chronic and obstinate disabili-
ties. The latest and most curious
exercise of this power is in the
case of cripple of whom Sei1or
Santa Cruz Is reported to have said
that if he could be enabled to walk
on crutches he would give the man
who worked the miracle $500. The
cripple was absolutely without
muscular power. Ten days ago
Mariana took him in charge.
When he first began his magnetic
ministrations there was not a
muscle of the patient which obeyt d
its natural Office. If one Of
his arms OF legs were Strengthened
out by main force it sprang
back into its abnormal position the
moment the physical force which
constrained it was removed. Now
this man can walk upon crutches,
and the opinion Of those who are
acquainted, from previous expert.
ence, with Mariano's remarkable
magnetic powers, Is that he will be
shortly entirely cured.
This psycologic healer is young
Spaniard of about twenty-nine
years of age. 1t is claimed that he
has effected a number of notable
cures from no other agency than
his magnetic influence, or what
ever 1t may be called. He accepts
such recompense as may be vOlun-
tarily rendered to him; and, if
nothing is offered, he has been cou.
tent. We tell the tale AS it was
told to us, believing that it is an
unique and curious development of
Train's theory of psychology.

A Washington Yarn.

The city of Washington must be
credited with the possession of one
widow who disdains to be caught in
the vortex of a scandal as the re-
suit of eating late suppers in pri-
vate room with an ardent lover.
The Standard vouches for her re-
spectability and standing, as in
deed any one must do after reading
what follows. Being invited to
the theatre the other evening by
an old friend and gallant, he asked
her, after the performance was
concluded, to partake of some re-
freshments, but she at once de-
clined the soft impeachment. Pre-.
sently, however, the happy couple
passed well-lit drug store, and
the fair dame, leaning lovingly
upon her escorts dexter arm,
gently simpered in soft and duicet
tones: "Mr. Dewsenberry, I'll tell
you what l would like II you don't
mird l don't feel very well, and 1
think q dose of castor oil would do
me good" The astonished lover
Immediately entered the drug
store with his inamorata. An
ounce of the delicious but some
what unctious beverage was pur-
chased, which she gently slipped,
and then the fragrant peppermint
was softly introduced between her
ruby lips. The remainder of the
evening the lady's escort seemed
stepped in melancholy, and al
though on parting at the door she
thanked him for the pleasant even
ing she had passed, and sweetly
urged him to call again fright
soOn," he has never since re visited
the glimpses of the moon. She
sadly claims that her recalcitrant
admirer is man of very little
taste.

1t is seldom, indeed, that q man
rises from a drummer to become a
General. Such, however, was the
case with a gallant officer, Major
Gen. VIM. Mclean, who has just
died in England. His career has
often been quoted as remarkable
example of promotion In the Brit
ish army. From drummer in
the Ninety third Regiment he rose
step by step until after more than
forty-five years of service he at
tanned the rank of Lieutenant Col.
onel in command of the regiment
in which he had spent his life. In
October last he was made a Major
General. He had served with
great distinction in the Crimean
war and in the Indian mutlny. In
the Crimea he received the medal
and clasp. the Medjidie, and the
Turkish medal. In India he earn.
ed the Victoria Gross, his brevet
rank, and the medal with two
clasps. Recently, after undergoing
a hazardous operation in London.
he was told that he could not sur
yive many days. Ho asked to be
taken to the hospital at Woolwich
in order that he might "die"
