be compelled to await its arrival be-
fore taking this additional step toward

Why They Had to Kill Another
~. Chinaman.

One of the best known mining
engineers in the United States, in fact
the man who built many big mines and
tunnels on the Pacific coast, and whom
we will call Smith for the sake of the
story, told the Casual Observer the
other day that while experimenting the
construction of mine at Virginia City,
on which mostly Chinese labor was
employed,> the foreman of one Of the
tunnels came to him one morning and
said: '.Mr. Smith, Chinaman was
killed this morning by fall OF rock in
the tunnel Wen have to kill another
before night" "Why SOP" was the
inquiry in reply. WELL" said the
foreman, as he took fresh chew Of
tobacco. "it's easier to carry two dead
Cinnamon out of camp than one"
The engineer got mad at this and pro-
hibited any reckless exposure of life.
But sure enough before the, night fell
another Chinaman had been gathered to
his fathers. The manner Of carrying
the dead Cinnamon out of camp was
to hang one body on each side Of
mule. II here was only one dead
Chinaman IL took two men to CARR
him of. one at his head and another at
his heels. --Nsw York Graphic. 4

A STORY OF A SMITH.
The Newspaper Man Who Couldn't
Accept Office.

Ex-Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Coon told this story to n group OF
friends at the Fifth-avenue Hotel last
evening: when the Joint High Com
mission was sitting in Washington a
few years ago. the proceedings were
held behind locked doors, and the
greatest pains were taken to keep tire
proceedings strictly secret In spite OF
this many of the most important results
of the discussions leaked out and found
their way into print. Scott Smith, the
well-known Washington correspondent,
was known to be telegraphing the
news to syndicate Of newspapers, and
Secretary of State Hamilton Fish was
terribly worked up over the matter.
He brought several detectives from
New York to Washington, who were
unknown to the departments officials,
and placed them to shadow Smiths
house and Office TO ascertain, If pos
sible, who it was that was furnishing
him with the information. The yigils
were fruitless and the news continued
to be printed with daily regularity.
Unable longer to conceal his annoy
ance, the Secretary sent for Mr.. Smith
and told him that his course was I'M
patriotic.
" Nonsense, said Smith; lit is all
true, isn't it? 1t is news, and that is
what am sent here to get But he
did not tell tho Secretary, what was
the fact, that he regularly met a men,
Der of the commission every morning
at 10 O'Clock, from whom he obtained
detailed account of the previous
days proceedings, Finding that per-
suasion was useless, the Secretary
finally said;
- Smith ! have got a nice foreign
cousulship worth $4,000 year which l
wish to offer you, and to offer which
was my main object in sending for
YOU
Can't accept it, Mr.. Secretary;

amazement, cant afford to accept

"'No, sir, replied MIR. Smith; i
earn more money than that with my
pen. TO speak plainly, MIR. Secretary,
| couldn't afford TO take your place
and work for the salary you work for
''Mr. Fish looked at Smith with
profound amazement," added Mr..
Coon, 'but his views of the value OF
the services of trained newspaper
writer's probably soon afterward I'M
derwent change. "-NeU York Star

the liver becomes clogged or when it

So much is being written every day con-

strain the Board of Indemnity from pay
ing that judgment out OF the States mo-
ney, upon the ground that the act of As.
