sibly not dreamed of, established stage
coach line from Omaha to Denver. Salt
Lake and Sacramento. He made an i'm
mense fortune, and returned to his native
place TO build a home whose beauty and
dimensions should be a marvel to behold.
II proved his ruin. It required eight
years to erect the east wing and the main
building. Meanwhile his family went
ahead. The two daughters were beauti-
full women. They were taken to Paris by
their mother when Mr.. Halliday was Q
very rich man. The elder married the
Comte de Pourtales, a member Of dis
tinguished French family, and a few
years afterward Pauline, the younger,
married the young Baron de Bussiere,
whose father was and still Is O rich
banker in the French capital. Mr.. and
Mrs. Halliday were said to have opposed
both marriages, but the girls persisted.
The lives of both were very unhappy
so much SO that when their mother died
she stipulated In her will that, IL any Of
her grandchildren married foreigner,
the property left to him or to her should
be forfeited to the estate. Nine. de
Pourtales died in sleeping car some ten
or twelve years ago while on her way to
New York from California. Her death
was very sudden, and many stories were
current at the time concerning 1t. She
left two or three children, who are with
their fathers family in France.
The unhappy result Of Miss Pauline's
marriage to De Bussiere was matter of
current report long before her death at
the New York hotel, which occurred some
eight OF ten years ago. She had been that
summer with her husband at Trouville,
and after more serious quarrel than the
ordinary took passage for home on a
French steamer and died within two days
after reaching this port. Her body was
placed beside that of her mother, sister
and brother in the chapel at Ophir farm
Mr.. Halliday. the elder, married second
time. The Baroness de Bussiere left one
child, Paul, boy. He Is living with his
grandfather at the chateau In France.
Benjamin Halliday, Jr., married In Cali
fornia some ten years ago. His wife OBJ
tanned divorce from him in $780,
After the elder Ben Halliday's death
the fact transpired that his costly place
at Ophir farm had ruined him. 1t was
sold out under mortgage to John Roach
for f100, 900. Young Ben for time pre-
vented the requirement Of clear title.
When this was granted Garnet Roach
went there to live. While Roach resided
there young Ben died, and after some re.
luctance Roach consented that his re-
mains should rest in the chapel beside
the other members of his family. Then
Garnet Roach died and the place was
sold to Whitelaw Reid.

The Big Bells Of Russia.

The Russians have a passion for big
bells. There are numbers Of them in
Moscow. In the tower of Ivan, in the
Kremlin, hangs sixty ton bell, which is
rung only three times year, and then
the combined efforts of three men are re.
quired TO swing the hammer. Above this
hang forty bells of various dimensions,
mountain of metal capable Of emitting
the most deafening sounds. The Rus.
SLAMS are as enthusiastic as they are
superstitious race, and they are nothing
II not demonstratiye at their festivals,
On Easter eve a deathlike silence reigns
throughout magnificent Moscow. Sud
denly at midnight, from the tower Of
Ivan, the mighty congregation Of bells
peals forth In tumultuous and dis
cordant crash. Then the bells of the en-.
tire city join in the metallic uproar, and,
as il this were not enough, the cannon Of
the Kremlin Join In the chorus, and the
people rush headlong into the streets,
crying: Christ is risenl Christ IS risen

Where Money Is Made,

The actual cost of each Bank Of Eng
land note issued is about five cents. An
ordinary days issue of notes, with cor
responding number cancelled, is from 90.
600 to 10000. As an offset to this ex-
pense the yearly gain to the bank in notes
destroyed by fire and water amounts to
large sum, which, however, is taken into
account by the government when adjust
ing Its national debt and exchequer ar.
rangements with the bank, The "Old
Lady Of Threadneedle street." as the
Lopdoner lovingly calls the institution,
which, next TO his queen, he most deeply
reveres, is very liberal when dealing with
cases of notes destroyed or mutilated.
The secretary's office attends to those
matters, and there may be soen daily rem
nants of notes which have undergone
every conceivable ordeal short Of absolute
destruction. Little pulpy masses which
have passed through the digestive appa-
ratus Of dogs and children, half burned
pieces that have unwittingly done duty
as cigar lighters, remnants Of every kind
of which enough is left to indicate in the

LAMBETH PALACE.

At the first gathering this year there
were present from America Bishops Whip.
pie, Coke, Quintard, Neely, Tuttle, Nor
ris, Doane, Whitaker, Pierce, Hare, Ly-
man, Spalding, Scarborough, McLaren,
Perry, Burgess, Seymour, Harris, Starkey,
Paddock, Whitehead, Thompson and
Knifkerbocker, and most Of these took
active part in the opening discussions.
1t savors Of delicate irony to see that in
the division of subjects among commit
tees the head of "Polygamy Among
Heathen Converts" fell to the committee
including the eloquent Bishop Tuttle,
whose diocese so long included Utah. his
residence being at Salt Lake City.
The conference remains In session one
month, closing on the 2Sth of July.
Bishop Cleveland Coke, of New York, Wis
tied Paris few days before the opening
Of the conference, and there. In the CALI
can church, performed the interesting
ceremony Of confirming fourteen boys and
twenty. two girls, the bishop having gone
there for that purpose. This Is the
church of Pere Hyacinthe, now Rev.
Hyacinthe Loyson, and in a letter to the
archbishop of Paris Bishop Coke declared
that this church had been cut off from
spiritual privilege, not for any infidelity,
but for being Catholics--so Catholic that
they refused to believe in the dogma of
the infallibility of the pope. He continued
by asking the archbishop, In case he
would not administer the rite, to permit
him, an American bishop, to do SO.

he Possibilities of Coincidence.

The possibilities of coincidence in hu.

man residing near New York remarked to

not sign of 1t then, but before they sep.

did you know that 1t would snowf" asked
the friend, The sad and singular answer
was, Forty three years ago today buried
my only son. 1t showed that day and
has showed on the 4th day of February
every year since, and l felt sure 1t would
snow today" Let those who fancy that

To begin with, the habitation Of the
homesteader Is either q dugout or house
built Of squares Of sod taken from the
prairie-Ncbraska or Kansas brick, a.
they are fscetiously termed. The dugout
consists-of = hole dug In the side Of

prairie which will serve as a wind break
This hole is rooted across. about on a
level with the prairie, with inch boards,
and these are covered with sod. A foot
or so Of stove pipe protruding from the
roof Is the sole indication OF human
habitation. One room generally serves all
the purposes OF the homesteader and his
family. II he prospers for a season, he
adds to the front Of his abode BY erecting
walls Of sod on the sides and putting In q
new front, the old one serving as parti-
ton between the two rooms. This Is

Animais' Right Of Property,

recognition Of the rights Of property In

A cat makes no claim 10 possession until
her foot is on the piece Of meat. After
possession, however, she asserts her posi-
tive rights, and heavier cats will allow
the claim. Old cats will often allow
young ones TO rob them, but they will not
allow older ones TO do the same. A dog
not only claims bone while in possession,
but establishes his right to the same bone
when buried, and woe be to the dog that
opens the cache" This recognition Of
property rights is seen everywhere in

was in an unromantic corn crib, few rods
from the house, where they were found
dangling from the rafters at the ends of a

1t was evident that the deed had been In
contemplation for several days, as they ap-
peared morose and were decidedly uncom.
municative all the day before, and spent a
great deal of time In each others society,
On the morning of Sunday the hired girl

|. When free trade writer's try to break
the force of the assertion of protectionists
that protection increases wages they are
sure 10 ask, Then why are wages higher
in Great Britain than in Germany, or other
protectionist countries of Europe" They
carefully ignore the fact in production
there are other factors of cost besides labor,
and that as rule these are much lower In
England than on the Continent Especially
! is this true of fuel
3. II is not free trade, but superior ma
tural resources that makes wages higher In
England than the other countries OF Eu-
rome. Were the conditions reversed-were
the natural resources of England, for man.
ufacturing, inferior TO those OF her Euro
pesn rivals, wages would be lower there
than on the Continent. Tariff helps TO
maintain wages, but IL Is not always suffi-
ciently potent 70 overcome all adverse con-
ditions-American Mfr.
On the above observations one might OBJ.
serve: o. (a) That wages are higher In
free trade England than on the protected
continent (b) That though wages are
higher, the other factors of cost" (of pro
duction) are lower. (c) Therefore, the
proposition (Which the An Mfr. says is an
absurdity) is true that the higher the wages
the lower the net cost of the production,
as Secretary Manning pointed out In his
mastery report.
(2) If superior natural resources make
wages higher in England than in the other
countries of Europe, need americans fear
reduction of wages even should we adopt
free trade? No American will say so who
knows anything of the natural resources
of his country.
These admissions by so radical protec-
ZIONIST as the Am. mfr. are certainly re-
markable, since they are the very points
urged by tariff reformers.
