The Case of Director Burchard.

WAsHIsGTox, June 25-There is no change
to-day in the case of Mr.. Burchard, Director of
the Mint. On Tuesday last he was requested TO
resign, but SO far he has failed to comply with
the request. He refuses to say whether he will
what steps he proposes to take. Secretary Man
ming is also non -cGmmittal on the subject. 1t is
predicted, however, that Mr.. Burchard will be
removed in case he does not resign, and that the
reasons therefor will be given to the Senate
when the nomination of his successor comes up
for consideration. There are no formal charges
against Mr.. Burchard on file in the department.
1t is believed that the main charge which Secre-
tary Manning will make against Mr.. Burchard,
and the one upon which he will rely, is that
Burchard. in the exercise of his discretion as TO
the monthly purchases of bullion for the coinage
Of the standard silver dollar. might have bought
it cheaper. AS to that. there will naturally be
great differences of opinion.

A Special Term of Court To BE Called to
Consider the Dennis Case.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
CRAwFoRDsvILLE, June 25.-The absorbing
topic of conversation since Tuesday has been
about the affidavit of James Dennis in relation
to the confession of John w. Cofey Yesterday
the Rankins folks came to town to find out
what the court would do in the case. 1t is
claimed by them that James Rankins, the old
man, and who was implicated in the affidavit
made in Dennis version of Coffey's confession
as the person who did the actual murder, has
been missing for over year; but there are still
others who say that such is not the case This
morning the case was again called, and Dennis
was brought to the courtroom hand-cuffed. The
lawyers on both sides had agreed to admit the
evidence, and to have the judge set aside the
sentence of death. The judge would not set
aside tn Q sentence, and the afidavits of Dennis,
Cunningham and Johnson were filed as supple
mentary to the former motion for a new trial.
A special term of court will be called on Satur
day, for some time in July, to hear this new
evidence. d. w. Doty made complaint to the
judge that Sheriff Harper would not admit him
to JAIL so as to obtain the affidavit of Coffey as
to this last statement, claimed to be made by
him in Denns's affidavit The judge said that
if he thought Coffny's evidence of any value he
would have him brought to court when the case
was again called.

Red Clouds Boss Farmers.
To the Editor of the New York Sun.
rlao 4n1z

To the Editor of the New York Sun.
The government have taken compassion on my
people at last by sending me six boss farmers
last fall. Three men arrived here from Wash
ington as practical farmers, one of whom was
small politician from Kansas; the other, big
300-pounder, was nothing, but said he used to be
Indian agent, and the third was boy,
telegraph operator All were getting SIS per
month They set by the stove until spring and
then left my country.
And now my people are blessed with three
more boss farmers. All of them are from Wash
inlyton; one of them is a saddler, but he says he
has seen some farming-his father has a farm.
He is down at Wounded Knee with my peo-
pie, and he cannot speak one word of their Ian
guage. The other is working at the agency
don't know what he is doing; and the third says
he is q blacksmith, and is here at the agency
waiting for the agent to get lack. So you see
am well fixed for farmers.
Our agent has nothing to do with the appoint,
ment of these men; if he had, he would appoint
men from the Western country who know the
climate and who speak the Indian language,
and who know how to farm.

ANTIQUITIES FOUND BY A CONSUL.
A Rare Collection of Egyptian and Other
CurioS Sold Under the Hammer.
PHILADELPHIA Special.

Philadelphia Special.
A collection of antiquities made by DR.. Charles
Huffnagle, when consul-general to India, is to be
sold Among the Egyptian antiquities is
mummycase containing the remains of the
daughter of the superior high priest of Horus.
The case is made of unknown Egyptian COM
position, nodded to represent shrouded fe-
male, richly ornamen.ed with hieroglyphics in
brilliant colors and ivory eyes nlaid. This
specimen was secured in 1S47 by DR.. Hufnagle
at the risk of his life. He obtained it from the
great pyramid Of Saccara in Egypt. The Sultan
had previously issued decree making it CAPT
tai offense for any person to remove such treas
ures from its domain. The Doctor, however,
succeeded under cover of night (although chased
by the Arabs), in removing it to point of mere
temporary safety. He then, as the only alter
native, demanded an interview in his official ca
pacity officer of the United States with the
Sultan and received permission to remove the
muchcove object.
A rose of Jericho is also to be sold In its
usual state it is dry, withered looking bunch of
twigs, but when placed in water it expands to
about FIVE inches IN diameter. Very few speci-
mems of it are known-Baron Humboldt and
Professor Wood each possess one Those to be
sold were taken from Egyptian mummes and,
though shut out from light for 3, 600 years, they
bloomed when placed in water.
The collection of Washington furniture was
presented TO DR.. Charles Hufnagle by his
mother, Mrs. S. E. Huffnagle, who was the
daughter of Col. Isaac Franks, the son of Moses
and Sarah Franks born in the city of New York
on the 9th day of May, 1859 Colonel Franks
entered the Revolutionary army in 1776 and
served under General Washington. After the
peace of 1883 he filled various civil commissions
and was the intimate friend and companion of
General Washington who, with his family spent
the summer of 1898 and 1874 in his residence at
Germantown, having leased the same for that
period, with all its furniture, from Colonel
Franks. The collection comprises those articles,
the property of Colonel Franks, which were used
by General Washington while he occupied the
house, and also many pieces of furniture, etc..
which presented to Mrs. and Colonel
Franks by Mrs. and General Washington.
Colonel Franks died on the 24th of March, 1892,
being at the time the prothonotary of the
Supreme Court of Philadelphia

Local Observations.
Women as Assayers.

New Orleans Times Democrat.
Only six months study is required to become
ordinarily good assayer for silver and gold,
and the pay for such varies from 800 to $3.50
month, according TO experience and skill. The
chemical examination is very simple. Almost
any school girl who has studied chemistry has
conducted experiments as difficult. Another
task of the assayer is to prepare the capels ands
crucibles, and easier work can be found
The capes are made of bone dust and the pro-
cess is of the simplest kind. The dust is damp
ened and then moulded into the requisite cup
like shape. Such work surely be done by
woman's hands Another very important duty
of the essayer is that of weighing. Nothing is
more essential than the accurate determination
of the weight of the ore sample and of the metal
obtained from it. 1t requires keen sight and the
power of most delicate adjustment in the hand
which manipulates the Lilliputian scales of an
assayer's table The delicacy of touch which is
asserted to be so marked in woman would surely
be of value here. If some of the countless girls
in our large cities who expect to gain livelihood
by teaching, as book-keepers and in other al
ready overcrowded occupations, would devote six
months of preparation in order to became assay
ers they would have much better chance Of
taking care of themselves

The Playful Higgins's Way.

Washington Special
A lady who had been discharged from one of
tie bureaus of the Treasury Department went
to Appointment Clerk Higgins to learn the cause
of her dismissal Mr. Higgins ascertained that
it was because she was not so competent as some
of the other clerks, and so informed her, adding
that there was no charge against her character,
but simply that her work was not up to the
standard required.
The poor girl felt very badly and said that she
had an invalid mother and younger brother to
support and that her salary was all they had to
depend upon She didn't know what in the
world they would do, and was afraid they would
have to starve. The story then runs that Hig-
gins saw that she wore "a handsome watch chain.
Reaching over he drew out the watch attached
to the chain, and, holding it up to her, said:
'sOh no. don't starve. Take this and soak it.
It'll keep you for month. Soak it, tell you.
I've had to do it myself many time. Soak it,
child; xhen when the money is gone come to me
and I'll see what / can do"
