other guests present were Senator Mitchell.
Representative Hermann, General and Mrs.
o. G. Greene, Mr.. and Mrs. Nixon, Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilfrey, and Mr.. Hazelton, also of

able one, as the hospitalities of the Senator
and his attractive wife ever do.
The engagement OF Miss Tessie Fair IA
debutante), daughter of ex-senator Fair, to
Mr. Herman Oelrichs of New York, is
matter of pleasant gossip among the Pacific
Coast people here.
Senator Dolph thinks of taking his family
to Kentucky for the summer months, leav-
ing here in week or so. Mrs Dolph ex-
poets, however to go to Oregon in the early
Fall months, and the family will not likely

TEMPERANCE REFORM.
An Anti-SaIoOnist Favors the Chicago.
Convention Ticket.

MINNEAPOLIS, July 1st.-Albert Griffin,
Chairman of the Anti-Saloon Republican
National Committee, has issued an address
to the country, in which he summarized
the work OF the National Republican Con-
vention on temperance matters, and appeals
to the voters to support the ticket nomi-
mated by the Convention. He gives as the.
reasons for bis advice that the platform
commits the party against the national
whisky ring protection tax, and that Har-
rison is . pronounced anti-saloonist, and
that ringing temperance plank was, after
all. added TO the platform. The friendiness
of the Republican party to the temperance
cause is further argued in the statement
that in nearly every Republican State legis
lators have in the last two years antagoa-
lied the saloon element.

THE QUESTION AT ISSUE

Will be the justice of the Democratic prop
osition to so amend the rules as to place ii
beyond the power of the minority TO do
anything except vote against the bill The
Democrats say that the Republicans have
nothing to offer on the tariff question but
delay, and that their only policy has always
been one of obstruc ior. As Mills put it:
They (lhe Republicans) are dissatisfied
with what we have done, but make no pre-
tense to do anything themselves, simply
because they cannot agree
The Republicans on the other hand, say
that the proposition (the time limit is an
abridgment of the rights of the minority
such as has never been attempted before
Mr.. Mckinley said to-day that he was not
willing TO believe that the Democrats
would so far forget themselves as to take
such an unwarrantsble position. The figh,
is sure to be hot and desperate and is anx.
iously looked forward to.

WASHINGTON July 1st-The policy to be
pursued by both parties in Congress has
been very clearly outlined since the states
men returned from Chicagr. The Repub-
licans from the House have served notice
on the Democrats that they would do all in
their power to delay and defeat the Mills
bill, and the Democrats in turn have de-
cided 10 notify them of their decision as to
the limit of the debate of the opponents of
the tariff bill.
The Senate, too, has come out and declared
its intention of taking up the tariff issue
at the first opportunity. This means that,
having gotten the decks cleared for action.
both parties propose to go at this tariff
question in dead earnest.
Within the next few days there will be a
very pretty fight in the House over the
question of changing the rules so as to pre-
vent filibustering against the Mills BILL
Mills will ostensibly lead the fighting on
the Democratic side, but the real work will
be done by the two Breckenridges. Nc
Kinley, Reed and Judge Kelley will do
most of the talking for their side of the
House.

The Precious Stones of Ceylon.


 A large number of Singhalese are employed by the dealers in gems to search the river beds and to dig in the mountains for precious stones, such as sapphires, cat's-eyes, moon stones, topazes, garnets and rubies. These, after being rudely cut by na- tive wOrkmen, are sold to travellers who stop at Columbo, large quanti- ties being also sent to Paris, Lon don and other European capitals. More than half of the sapphires, cat's-eyes and rubies now in the market come direct from this island. The native cut is of rude charac- ter, the stones being finished by ex- pert diamond cutters, upon scienti- lic principles, so as to bring out all their remarkable brilliancy and cx- quisite beauty. A sapphire which may have cost $5 or possibly $10 at Columho, after passing through the European lapidaries' hands will readily bring $75 and upward, ac- cording to weight and cclor. Tie favoritc hue is that of a bright blue, not so dark as to be dull. When appropriately mounted the retail jeweler will expect to get, say, $50 or more for the stone, which cost originally $10 in Ceylon. This stone is next in hardness to the dia mond. The choicest cat's-eyes are highly valued, even in first hands; when as large as the tips of ones fingers, $2,000 is demanded for one The finest, when possessing clear ness and good radiating power, be- come double that price at retail in London or Paris, The trade is car ried on at Columbo by Jews, who manage in a few years to accumu- late large fortunes in these fascina- ting and fashionable ornaments Boston Herald.

A Story of the War.

A gentleman told me yesterday of a strange experience related by q friend of his. It was during the battle of Gettysburg that his friend, just before entering the action, took his canteen from his shoulder and hid it in crevice in a rock. Then came that fiery hail of shot and shell that swept down regiments like fields of wheat before reai:er At the close of the battle the sol dier forgot ali about his canteen, nor did It ever occur to him again until he visited the field at the late reunion. Then 1t flashed through his mind, and after few minutes search he found it where he had left 1t on that momentous day. It seems scarcely credible that it could have been overlooked during the minute exploration of the field ever since the war, but the gentleman who related the incident Is of un- impeachable veracity.-Albany IN.

Murdered and Robbed.

A Nogales, Ariz., dispatch of the 11th instant, says: Two days ago the dead body of an American was found by the wayside, near Santa Ana, Sonora, short distance south of here. The supposition is that he was brutally murdered and then robbed. Since the body was buried 1t transpires that the murdered man was c. H. Jones, a prominent and wealthy stockman of Cochise coun- ty, Arizona, who went to Sonora short time ago to purchase horses. He stopped few days in this city, and was known to have considera- ble money on his person. From here he went to Magdalena, Sonora, where he was rather careless about exposing large sums to view. The last seen of him alive by his friends  was when he lett Magdalena on horseback. carrying with him a good lot of money wrapped in a blanket, which he tied behind his saddle. The appearance of the body indicated that he had worn a money belt on his person, but the belt and the money in his pockets were gone when the body was found. Several arrests have been made, but so far no evidence has been brought agains: the parties. As Jones was d very wealthy and influential man, it is probable that the matter will be thoroughly sifted.

A rasident of Bennetsville, Ind, was gathering tan-bark from tree one day recently, when the tree was struck by lightning, shocking him severely. It transformed him into a genuine electric man. Any one who now shakes hands with him receives a severe shock. By pass ing the blade of a knife between his thumb and finger during the pro- gross of a storm he charges the metal so strongly that heavy weights can be lifted. When flies alight upon him they drop dead, and when he is in dark room sparks flash from his flesh and his eyes shine like incandescent lights. Whenever a storm approaches he becomes highly charged with electricity and it IS dangerous to touch him. He claims to feel no inconvenience, ex- cept that he will go near no moving locomotive for fear of being drawn against it and killed.

The Right Man in the Wrong Place

Newark policemen do not have the appearance of countrymen as a rule, but one of them was recent ly taken for one in New York, and a seedy man tried to play the we'd ding ring trick on him. He pre- tended to pick up the ring at the policeman's feet, and then consult ed him about the diSp osition of it.
 Suppose somebody will adver- tise for it." he said. Tt has the owners initials engraved on the in side. It is too bad that I must leave the city on the next train, for per haps there will be a reward of s or $10 for it. What shall I do about lt?"
 "Let's seeit, said the officer, and taking the ring he weighed it in his hand. and knew immediately it was one of the old chestnuts.
 "What shall I do?" said the old fraud. "Now, if you will give me a couple of dollars for it will let you keep it and claim the reward. :"
 "No," said the officer; "I'll tell you what to do. Set it out again and try to catch some jay who has not been on the police force for 14 years"
 The old fraud looked mortified and slunk away.
