The Russian Crowns.

In the Imperial treasury of the
Gar are several. crowns, among others,
that of Vladimir Monomachus, the
crown of Poland and the crown OF
Finland; bxt his chief diadem is OF
the shape of a patriarchal inter. On
its summit is a cross formed of five
magnificent diamonds, supported by
large uncut, but polished, ruby.
Eleven diamonds in the shape of a
foliated arch rising from the front
and back of the crown support the
ruby and the cross, and on either side
of the central arch or hoop, consist
ing of thirty-eight perfect pearls i'm
parts to the whole structure the APP
pearanee of inter The formation
is mathematical of the exaltation of
the Car into the ancient patriarch,
and, moreover. of the fact that he is
nominally the father of his people
The spaces on either side of the arches
are filed with ornamental silver
work, studded with diamonds, and
are underlaid with purple velvet
The band on which the arches rest,
and which encircles the head of the
Gar, contains twenty-eight dia-
monds. The erb is s,Irmounted by
an immense sapphire, together with a
diamond of the first water, but elongat-
ed in form.

Poisoning SquaWs.
Carson Tribune.


Assistant Adjutant General II. G.
Parker left this morning with arms
and ammunition for Mason Valley,
where the Indians are assuming a very
defiant and war-like attitude against
the whites. 1t appears that a number
of squaws have recently died suddenly
and under very suspicious circum-
stances, and the Indians accuse the
Misner family of poisoning them.
The squaws who died had been EN-
ployed at Mr.. Misner's ranch, but
those who knew the family declare
that they are above suspicion. In a
letter to Governor Adams, Hook
Mason states that he considers the
situation very serious, and thinks the
Misner family in danger. Nels Ham
mond, superintendent at the Walker
Lake Reservation, writes that the In
dams are gathering for consultation,
and that they appear to be greatly eX-
cited He has warned the whites OF
Mason Valley to be on the lookout.
Senator John B. Gallagher aud almost
every citizen of Mason Valley signed
the petition to Governor Adams for
thessarms and ammunition. The Gov
errors instructions to General Parker
are that he shall inves igate the mat
ter, and if he finds the circumstances
require such action, he shall turn the
arms over to Smith & Branan, at Pizen
Swith, to be used by the settlers,
otherwise they are to be returned to
the seat of government,

Unclaimed Bank Deposits
Hartford Comm Post.

The schedule of unclaimed deposits
in the New London Savings Bank con
tanned originally the Hames of over
POO depositors who had not been heard
from within the period prescribed by
10y, but the number is now reduced
{, slxty-four. This reduction was
bought about under the requirements
of the twenty-years outlawry act by a
circular, mailed by the cashier, to the
addresses, or probable addresses, of
the depositors, requesting them to
communicate with the bank. Some,
who replied to the circular, had not
been heard from in forty years, and
yet the handbook of one of these was
all the time just around the corner
from the bank building in the custody
of Daniel Hogan. for the owner,
Michael Burns, who emigrated to
California. The amounts which rep
resent really unclaimed deposits at the
Savings Bank of New London will
not foot upS5, 900, probably much less.
One of the largest, which IN the
opinion of the bank is one for which
claimant will never appear, is de-
post of $50 made in 1886 by Charles
Fricka, United States army, and
which has since accumulated, until
now it is represented by the sum of
81, 16S 10.

The London correspondent of the
Manchester Guardian remarks that
the life of Mr. Hollaway would furu-
ish curious if not interesting material
| for biography On one occasion ne
told friendly visitor how through
many years he and his wife lived in
| his medicine business was carried on,
and that their only recreation during
the week was to take a walk IN the
crowded thoroughfare on Sunday,
when the weather was fine, usually
making an excursion TO Hampstead.
When he was considering the line of
his benefactions he was proud OF being
au occasional guest at Mr.. Gladstone's
breakfast table, and through Mrs.
Gladstone he became interested in
the welfare of convalescent homes
When talking of his vast concerns he
said he believed he had advertised in
every respectable paper in existence.
The press association states that his
first advertisement appeared on the
18th of October, 1887. For consld
cradle period his efforts to obtain pub
hcity were attended with but little
success, but as he was staunch be-
lever in advertising, he was more
than justified.

Columbia River Salmon.
L.. L., n..Aini A-nn..s,..

Placing the Columbia River pro-
ducts for 1888 at $50, 600 cases. the
value of the pack foots up S3,024, 000
This is at valuation of 81 so per case,
or 81 90 per dozen on river. Average
sales made so far were probably at a
higher figure, and the value of the
seasons canning will actually exceed
this sum by a few thousand dollars.
The outlook for this industry is prob
ably as promising as is that of any
other 1t is one where honest trade
principles. are called for. Columbia
River salmon has a name for fine
flavor, rich color and even quality
Inscriptions dealers in inferior stock
have made use of this reputation and
succeeded in palming off an inferior
quality of salmon in many directions.
Such work is common in almost all
valuable articles of trade, and no
doubt will be for some time to come.
The temptation TO the retailer through
the receipt of large profits is more an
incentive to dishonesty in this class of
trade than is the actual desire on the
part of labelers to cheat If reform
ever comes it must be through the re-
taller, for the customer is easily inn
posed upon.

He was dressed in deep black and
