COUNTERFEIT MONEY.

James j. Brooks, chief of the
Secret Service Division of the Treas
ury Department, has made his annual
repor. He says that the only really
dangerous counterfeit is that of the
standard trade dollar, which is almost
identical with that of the genuine dol
lar IN weight, ring and appearance,
yethaving in it only about 30 per cent.
of silver; and he congratulates the
service on its efficiency as a detective
force. The report further says that
in answer to interrogatories recently
submitted to the various national
banks throughout the country with
view to ascertaining approximately
the amount of counterfeit money in
existence, he has received ,447 re-
plies, showing that if the counterfeit
money reported as rendered within
two years was divided by the 1,447
banks, it would be only 1928 for
each bank. This record, Chief
Brooks thinks, justifies the statement
that with territory of 100000
square miles to cover the present low
condition of the manufacture and cir
curlation of counterfeit paper money
is remarkable.-,S. II. Chronicle.

Crown Prince of Germany is asso-
Glazed with project for the annex

price of German-Spanish alliance.
The Crown Prince of Portugal, who

London special says: Lady Caryls,
young and beautiful, is abandoned
on her wedding day by her husband.
She goes to America, amasses wealth
and comes home. For revenge, she
buys up the estate of the Caryls,
burns the family pictures, replaces
them with master works by rising
American artists, spreads democratic
doctrines among tenants, makes the
Earl her overseer, and marries his
naughty sister to o California gold
digger, with long yellow beard,
and when she has tanned her hus-
bands pride, throws herself into his
arms. That is the plot of "Lords
and Commons" q four-act comedy
by Pinero, produced Saturday night.
at the Haymarket. before a distin-
guished audience. The author says
that the plot was suggested by read

Panama, Nov. 26.-The British
bark Avon recently arrived at VAL
paraiso, reports when in latitude
$50 6S south, longitude 40 IA
west, having sighted the remains of
two vessels which occupied posi-
ton like the shape of the letter L.
The after part of one was newly
coppered. The vessel floating
bottom up had her sides painted
black. The other vessel seemed to
be the size of Il ship of 700 or 800
tons, and was painted green on the
lower part and black Oh the top.
Noticing another wreckage at dis
lance OF y miles in. southeasterly
direction, the Avon sailed toward
it, and discovered part of third
vessel bottom up. 1t was coppered
with the stern sheathead in zinc.

fire last night destroyed about
S150.000 worth of property in the
centre of the town. 1t commenced
in Ruddy's Hotel and made clean
sweep of the north side of Queen
street. The flames made such head
way that before discovery they were
entirely beyond control. A strong
south wind prevented the flames
from spreading to the south side of
the street, and saved the destruction
of the rest of the town. A large
quantity of goods was removed in a
damaged condition.

The Bernhardt Jewels.

Nearly every one of the precious jewels
which Nine. Bernhardts parted with at the
recent sale, was a souvenir OF the most distin-
guished homage in the world, Queen Mar
guerite, of Italy, gave the Every handsome
collar of pearls and brilliants, representing q
garland of foliage, with palm leaf for a
center piece" while her Majesty's brother-in
law, the Duke of AOsta, offered the bracelet in
"a mat enriched with sapphire and bril-
liant" The three fine brooches in the form
of q winged dragon "are the tribute of Rus
sian princess" and an English prince who
will one day be an English king, gave
the "fine Indian bracelet in enameled
gold, representing serpent with two
heads, enriched with rose diamonds and
dian bandeau," dotted all over with foolish
nOthings in emeralds, rubies, and pearls.
The pretty comb in finely wrought gold rep
resenting an "allegoric trophy of comedy and
tragedy" with "Quand meme," Nine. Sarah's
own device, beneath, was Emile de Girardin's
handsome acknowledgment of life like por-
trait bust from her hand. Russian Indies
gave the "collar in brilliants, Tubies, emer-
aids, and other Colored stones" Canadian
ladies the "fne collar of six and twenty
chatons in brilliants;" @ lady of Vienna the
pendant formed of great black pearl, !" while
admiring Americans stand in the artists

taries suspended TO the collar of original

a fine confusion of brillants and rose dia-

ing another bracelet, and Prince Demidoff

Illustrative Names,

The fact that names are frequently illustra-
tive Of character has already been stated, bnt
this popularity of names has been carried
among various nations to a much greater ex-
tent than is usually supposed. nlustra-
tions from the Hebrews, Greeks, and Romans
have already been given, but more modern
nations have illustrated the same peculiar
ity quite as forcbly. The Saxon names
are eminently characteristic. Athelwulf
was tho "noble WOLF" Athelstane the "no-
BILE stone" and, in fact, when we look
through tho entire list we flpd few that are
not quite as significant as these. Tho Puri-
tan names of the seventeenth century were
quite as full of meaning. The intense devo-
ton of the Puritans to the scriptures, par
ticularly the Old Testament scriptures,
prompted them to adopt the old scripture
names, and the Bible was ransacked for
names as odd and as uncommon as possible
Strange combinations of names were made,
and in order that the unlucky youth might
be as well loaded as possible, several were
bestowed. One unfortunate of the time of
Cromwell was afflicted with the name of
Nebuchadneezar BelshaZar HeZekiah Epen-
eZer Grump, while another went through
life bearing the burden of Senaccharib Jere-
miah Sarum. Finally the climax was reached
by giving children whole text of scripture
for name. Praise God Barebones, of the
rump parliament, was said to have groancd
under the aiiiiction of Praise God forfeit
had-nOt been through his mercy-in- Christ
Jesus-y -yOu-wOuld have been damned Bare
boncs.' One of BarebOnes' fellow sufferers
was, "For-now-we-see-t -through.a glass dark
ly-but there face to-face Higger5." This
extravaganza in naming was its own
cure, for, after the restoration mahy
of tho Prritans found themselves so much
the object Of popular ridicule on account Of

voluntarily changed them for other and less
cumbersome handles. They have often been
followed in this example by persons since
who have been unable to meet the laughter
caused by their odd or unfortunate names,
A Mr.. Snapper some years ago had his name
changed by the Connecticut legislature for
wounded his feelings, while man named
Skoot made similar application to the legis-
lature of New York for the same reason,

Indian Matters.

Delegate Maginnis is endeayoring
to have inserted in the sundry civil
appropriation bill in the senate a
clause to provide for q commission
to inquire and examine into the
grievances and reconcile the differ
ences OF the various Indian tribes
in the Territory of Montana, and to
make such notifications Of exist
ing treaties or agreements and
make such agreements as may be
deemed desirable by the various
tribes of Indians in Montana on the
one side, and the secretary Of the
interior on the other. The clause
appropriates $4,000 to defray the
expenses of the commission. The
clause is recommended by the sec
rotary Of the interior and the COM
missioner of Indian affairs. Mr..
Maginnis says that it is absolutely
necessary to take immediate action
looking toward a permanent settle
ment Of the Indians in Montana,

Artesian Wells.

All through the great West the
question of water for domestic use,
irrigation, supply Of steam engines
and locomotives is one Of great inn
portance, and with the rapid settle
ment Of the country, becomes one
of still greater interest. The Union
Pacific, after having spent large sums
of money in putting in long pipe
lines to bring water from elevated
springs, substituted wind mills and
steam engines for raising water in
other places, have since adopted a
system of artesian wells at several
points along the line west Of Lara
mic. East of us, and at this point,
mountain springs furnish an abund-
ance of water while farther east
rivers and streams are depended on.
At Harper, located in the Horse
Shoe Bend Of the road, east Of Rock
Greek, q well was bored 400 feet,
which furnishes plenty Of water. AT
Rawlins fine flow Of water was.
struck at a depth 400 feet, which
rises five feet above the surface, and
is said to be chemically pure. This
well was drilled through loose sand

and to reconcile differences which
may result in serious trouble, and
with that end in view he requests
the necessary steps be taken for the
appointment Of Il commission for
the purpose of negotiating with the
several tribes IN that Territory.

says that if the Indians desire to
enter into negotiations for the mod
ification Of existing treaties, he secs
no objections to such proceedings.
