An extract from letter written by
a citizen Of Pierce City, now ressidid-

The San Francisco papers tell of
the terrible revenge of young wo-
man named May Jackson on, her par
amour, Martin Fuller. She threw a
bottle of vitriol in Fuller's face. The
corrosive fluid burned deeply into his
flesh, inflicting injuries which may
prove fatal, but which are certain TO
cause the loss of one of his eyes. Full
err separated from his wife about two
years ago, and few months later
formed the acquaintance of May
Jackson, and since then spent much
of his time in her company. A few
weeks ago he informed her that he
was going into the country, and told
her that their intimacy must come to
close. She procured vial of Wit
riol, and in company with her sister
sought him at restaurant, and as lie
turned to leave ttthe close of an in
terpiew she threw the vitriol in his
face. The acid burned the skin and
flesh as if red-hot brandingiron had
been pressed againstit it, and the}phy-
sicians fear that the injuries will prove
fatal. The girl was arrested and adj
mitted to- bail in the sum Of $4,000,
which was subsequently, increased to
$4,000.

The New York Herald's Paris spe-
cial says Of the massacre Of Chris
tians in Anam: The Superior OF the
college and the whole host of Chris
tians have been slaughtered pell
nell. Some were thrown into the
sea with their hands tied behind their
backs. Some of the missionaries
tried to mako stand with muskets,
but were soon defeated. Churches,
schools and dwelling houses were ev-
erywhere burned, and the Christians
who escaped had to walk for days
without food or shelter in order to
reach places of refuge. General de

The Decline In the Market Price of
Siixcr
Financial and Mining Record.

|
Financial and M ming Record
The london IEcondfifst publishes a
lengthy article On the recent decline
in the market price Of silver and
comes forward with various reasons
why, in the event of a stoppage Of
the coinage by the United States,
there must not necessarily result a
further decline. The article reached
the public on the 18th Of September,
and the influence which the once "a
nous publication on economic topics
now holds upon the British business
public, is best illustrated by further
sharp decline in the market value of
silver which occurred on the 18th.
The reasons advanced by the Lon
don Economist for larger Eastern
demand have been in operation for
many years, always in one or the 9TH
er form, and there is no valid argu-
ment to be advanced why there should
be a veritable change for the better.
We do not mean to say that there
may not be d short period, say even
year, when the Eastern market will
absorb the whole actual output of sill
yer without notable decline or even
under an advance Of present market
rates; but history tells us the contrary
when we speak Of any lengthy peri
cd. According to the latest ayala-
BILE statistics, the shipments to the
East from Europe and San Francisco
compare favorably in the present year
with those Of the previous year and
more favorubly still with those of the
previous seven years, or since our
coinage law has been ia operation;
and again more favorably compared
with any seven years previous to the
operation Of said law. The hard fact
OF the whole matter is that our coin
age has maintained the equilibrium
OF the silver market since the Europ-
can mints were closed against silver
and the whole upshot will be that, If
our minis should also be closed against
silver, the British Indian trade will
insist upon the closing Of the British
Indian minis without any interference
with existing coins.
Assuming, however, that the East
ern demand should not be artiiciallv
stopped, silver will have to decline to
a point where it will materially affect
the production; and as we and the
neighboring Mexico produce about
70 per cent. of the whole present out
put, the matteris very serious one,
not only for the silver miner proper
but for every industry depending up
on the traffic west of the Missouri
river.

Another Case of Mistaken Identify

A stout, red-faced man walked into the din
ing hall of Cartwrights Globe hotel, which is
the popular resort of base ball players. He
sat down and noticed all the walters gazing at
him with looks of admiration. He felt some
what embarrassed, but kept his seat. A frisky
waiter dashed toward him and pitched a large
napkin tied in knot at him. He caught it
quickly to keep it from striking his eye. There
was an audible murmur of applause from
everybody in the dining room. The waiter
then took his hat and pitched 1t with wonder
full precision on the hall rack.
"How do YOU want your bread, boss, dead
fowls OF muffins?' asked the waiter.
The meal was brought and the stout man ate
like trenchman. But he was uneasy. Every
body looked at him while he was eating. Final
ly quite little crowd gathered at the door in
front and watched. The waiter brought him
bottle of champagne. He said he did not
want it.
''Co>t you nothing, boss, not cent. Is
your little finger sprained bady?"
"No.' roared the stout man.
I'VE heard so, but we expected you. anyway.
We have telephoned Patsy Cahi up town that
you are here, and he will be present in half an
