SOUND ADVICE.
That Nay Prove Probable t. Mias


OWners.
The New York Graphic contains some
sound advice to parties who may endeavor
to dispose OF mining property in that city.
Eastern investors have been often bitten
and have become cautious. They have
gone through great deal OF mining in
vestment experience. and learned that
there are many blanks Ia the mini ng lot
terry. even when everything il conducted
on the square. Still. with the food Of
prosperity that IL now pouring in upon
them, Eastern capitalists can be induced
to invest in and assist in developing msr-
itorious mining properties. In this CON-
noction the Graphic says, that those who
have property to sell, would do we'll to
deal honestly by the investing public OF
New York and the East. The day has
passed when fraudulent schemes can be
foisted with impunity upon the market.
Many Of our leading brokers have skillful
experts in their employ. the bullion club
has the machinery for detecting worthless
mines when offered for sale, and those who
have property to sell had better tell the
truth. There is not . very large sbnn-
dance Of developed mines to bring to this
or any other market. but there are thou
sands of admirable prospects. It will not
do to come 10 New York with . mere hole
In the ground and ask millions Of dollars
Tor 1t. There must be some relation be.
tween the work done. the ore body discov-
cred and the price asked for the mine. In
view of the increased interest in mining
matters. promoters would do well to bear
In mind that they can make . reputation
for good or bad, whichever they wish. aud
that those who make . good reputation in the
placing Of desirable property are sure Of .
good fortune, for every transaction adver-
tises itself adversely or otherwise. Many
OF the people Of the Pacific coast have in
jured mining. They have brought worth
less schemes; they have bored men Of bust
ness in INT out OF season. and have only
succeeded in di-crediting III mr. elves and
the honest mining interests Of the country.
New York 10 o promising field in which to

done some day, but we warn old operators
from the Pacific coast that the New York

GIVE Us MORE MONEY.
From the Enterprise,
The truth is, there is not really good
money enough per capita in the country.
France, the most prosperous OF countries,
has $40 to the man. We have but SIS or
$14, and, Notwithstanding the mighty
inflow Of gold from Europe, all the bank
ing facilities Of the East are strained tre-
mendously to move the crop. The friends
OF silver should mark these things, aud
when Congress meets move for unrestricted
coinage. The people will sustain them.
SOUND LOGIC.
From the Reno Gazette.
We hope the bloody shirt wings of the
Republican party may be retired with the
brigadiers Of the Democratic, and o high
toned, high principled war be waged
against corruption in the civil service, in
favor Of honest money and the payment
Of honest debts. With a good nomination
by the Democrats and q bad n by the
Republicans, we can easily imagine a re-
action which would place the former party
in power.

that he directness of her desire to be

itself a grace; it led Bernard after

Wright that such marriage would
uot be legal. She then said that
she was engaged to DR.. f. M. Shaw,
of Los Angeles, who had promised
to come East for her. He had
written, however, that owing to a
rush of business he could not jour-
ney East at the time agreed upon.
He urged her to join him in San
Francisco, where they would be
married. She replied that she
wanted more than mere promise
to marry before she would take
such long journey. DR.. Shaw
then proposed that they should be
married by telegraph, with wit
nesses at the San Francisco and
Newark offices, and she accepted
the proposal.
The Rev. Mr.. Colt, after much
urging, consented to perform an in
formal marriage ceremony, with
the understanding that Miss
Wright and DR.. Shaw should be
married aflerward by clergyman
in California.
AT 8 o'clock one evening the
opeiatoI III tHo Nestein OuiOH
office at Market and Broad
streets, Newark, was surprised
by the appearance of the
Rev. Mr.. Colt and a fashionable
party Of ladies and gentlemen in
the office. Miss Wright, who has
dark chestnut hair, brown eyes and
an olive complexion, wore dark
silk dress, with white bonnet and
lilies of the valley. She carried
in her;right hand small bouquet of
flowers. She blushed deep Grim
son and laughed nervousIy when
the Rev. Mr.. Colt said to the oper-
ator that she wished to be married
by telegraph. By request of the
Rev. MIR. Colt the operator tele.
graphed to DR.. Shaw, who was
waiting with his friends in the Los
Angeles office, the questions:
"Are you ready?"
In a few minutes the answer was
flashed back:
"Yes, and have been for an
hour.n
The Rev. Mr.. Colt then read the
question, which the operator sent
to DIR. shaw: "Do you take Mar
garet Wright for your wife, and
promise to be faithful to her uutil
by death?"
There was considerable delay at
the Los Angeles office, aud while
waiting for an answer he bride
chatted pleasantly with her friends,
one of whom said: "Woulln't it be
a joke, Maggie, if the Doctor said
nor" The bride Joined in the
laughter that followed. Meantime
DR.. Shaw telegraphed, 81 do, and
pledge her my love and protec
tion." He also sent on the name
of a friend, Mr.. Shere, as his wit
ness in Los Angeles Mr.. Glib
son, of Newark, was the witness
for Miss Wright. A few doys after
the ceremony was performed the
bride started for California to join
her husband. She is 81 years old,

WOdFBNSTE N IN TROUBLE.
The Quondam Photographer Of our City on
Trial in San Francisco for Taking Lewd
Pictures.

Among the many offenses against
the law iorbidding obscene pictures
are those committed by certain
class of photographers, who are
rarely brought to justice. For
once, however, the blinded deity
has peeped from under her bandage
ana caught sight of one or two of
the offenders. These are Valentine
Wolfenstein and L. A. Cottle, who
were arrested last Monday by officer
]. r.. Rogers for the alleged taking
of obscene pictures. The gallery
of Wolfenstein is on Market street,
not far from Sixth. Cottle is a sew
ing machine agent, who has acted
as salesman. The special form of
the offense, it is charged, is photo
graphing the feminine figure, in
the scanty drapery of Eden, against
a black velvet background. By
this means white statuesque
portrait is obtained, which finds a
ready sale among a certain class of
customers. The case came yester-
day before Judge Ferral. A. d.
Bradley, formerly of the firm of
Bradley & Rulofson, testified for
the defense that the picture
shown in evidence did not
bear the marks peculiar
to the work of Wolfenstein.
If it did he should surely be able to
identify it. More than this he had
been present when Wolienstein re-
fused to lend his camera to the por-
trayal of the female form divine in
the costume of our first mother.
On cross-examination he confessed
to having been in the employ of
the defendant for over a month. He
explained the use Of the sable back
ground. Further testimony was
heard in the case from Gabriel Ser
rauo, one of Wolfenstein's en-
ployes. 1t was finished, and argued,
and will be given to the jury to-
day. 1t is asserted that the ofiense
charged on Wolfenstein, though
not always in so aggravated a form,
is common among the photography
ers of San Francisco. .-ChrOnicte.
