Jay Gould,s Confidential Clerk.

There is one section of a hotel here now
nicknamed Cash Cottage, because William
II. Vanderbilt lived his last two summers
in it, and Jay Gould's family are the pres
ent tenants. The premises are like a
separate house, although a part of the
hotel building, for they are not accessible
to the general guests. Vanderbilt used
to take his meals in the public dining
room and do his lounging on the open
verandas. Gould is of a more retiring
disposition, although not in the least pre-
tentious, and he keeps to his own apart
ments much of the time. They are usually
very quiet. But yesterday l heard con
siderable of a racket in them. Young
Jack Harrison, the somewhat dudish con-
hdential clerk in George Gould's office.
and who has been here at work for Jay
Gould, was down on all fours, playing
horse" for the amusement of a little girl
on his back. A boy was mounted on q
huge mastiff. and there was going to be a
race. Jay Gould was q laughing spec
tator. They say that he can't keep his
mind of his business enterprises, but I'll
be bound to say that he was then having
ten minutes of rest. He should double
Jack Harrison's salary.-Saratoga Cor.

a certain cause therin pending, wherein
Charles E. Anthony and Clifford NJ. An
thouy are plaintiffs, and the Wyoming
Hereford Association, Sir Charles Clifford
and Colin j.. Mckenzie are the defend
ants and wherein the undersigned was
by said court appointed receiver, which
said order and Judgment was made upon
the application of the Stock Growers Ma
tional Bank of Cheyenne, the undersigned

In CONVERSATION with a representa-,
tive Of the Boomerang, Yesterday after
noon, Judge Carey stated that he would
be pleased to see a candidate selected from
Laramie, and should this be done he felt
satisfied the Republicans of Cheyenne
would support him most cordially. This
does not look much like. the Judge was
stalking abroad through the territory
seeking a denomination as delegate.
Laramie Boomerang.
If this represents the actual condition
of affairs, then Judge NJ. G. Brown, of
Laramie, who is alleged to be perfectly
willing to have congressional honors
thrust upon him, will stand a reasonable
show of securing the Republican nomina-
ton. Just the same we are willing to
wager six bits in postage stamps that the
nominee will not come from Laramie this
year.

The nude limbed smith enters noise
lessly as a specter, squats down upon his
little mat before his little anvil, and turns
inquiringly toward us q face half yelled
by q black beard, a~ustere, regular, and
withal slightly unpleasant in expression.
"Vle beras, observes my creole driver,
pointing to his client. The turbaned
smith lifts his voice, utters the single
syllable Raj and folds his arms.
Almost Immediately a young woman
responds to the call, enters, squats down
on the earthen DOR at the further end of
the bench and turns upon me q pair of the
largest black eyes l have ever seen. She
is very simply clad in q coolie robe, leav-
ing arms and ankles bare and clinging
about the figure in gracious folds; her
color is clear. bright brown-new bronze.
her face a perfect oval and charmingly'
aquiline. l perceive a little silver ring,
in the form of a twisted snake, upon the
slender second toe of each bare foot; upon
each arm she has at least ten heavy silver
rings; there are also large silver rings
about her ankles; a gold flower is fixed
by a little hook in one ~nostril, and two
immense silver circles, shaped like new
moons, snimmer in her ears. The smith
mutters something to her in his Indian
tongue. She rises, and. seating herself
on the bench beside me, in an attitude of
perfect grace, holds out n beautiful
brown arm to me that l may choose a
ring.
That arm is much more worthy of at
tention than the rings; it has the tint,
the s~moothness, the symmetry, of a fine
statuary's work in metal; the upper arm,
tattooed with q blush circle of arabesques,
is otherwise unadorned; all the bracelets
are on the forearm. Very clumsy and
coarse they prove to be on closer examin-
alton; it was the fine lark skin which by
color contrast made them lock SO pretty.
l choose the outer one, a round ring with
Examinations shaped like viper heads; the
smith inserts a pair of tongs between
these ends, presses outward slowly and
strongly, and the ring is off. 1t has a
faint musky odor, not unpleasant, the
perfume of the tropical flesh it chung to.
The smith snatches it from me, heats it
in his little charcoal furnace, hammers it
into a perfect circle again. slakes it in an
earthen bowl of water, Furnishes it.

Priests who Self sacrificingly Accept
n pleaded Fate.

lCOnmunlcateu.l
The Hawaiian islands have long attract
ed the attention OF the world. Since the
Protestant missionaries went their in 1920
much has been written concerning their
scenery, climate, people and prospects.
They consist of twelve islands, the termini
of the Polynesian archipelago northwards.
One OF these, Molokai, a snail island only
169 square miles in area, is worthy of
more than a passing thought. 1t is the
fifth in size. 1t is mountainous, rising on
the northern end in abrupt precipices
sheer from the coast line. 1t has been
long a retreat for lepers. Here they must
remain in seclusion from the rest of the
world. 1t is a plague spot in a scene of
beauty.
l mention it now, that we may realize
that the martyr spirit is not dead IN the
Nineteenth century. That christianity
yet needs the voice of the cross bearing
master. Some two years since Father
Damian, a Roman Catholic priest, went
to make his home on that island. He
went, a willing sacrifice, to minister to
the wants of those stricken people. He
vent to face a lingering and horrible
death. Now, we have the news that
Father Damian has himself been stricken!
Bearing on his face, neck and hands the
token of his inevitable doom, he moves
like a ministering angel among his peo-
pie. We are told he Is charging with
his own hands the chapel in which they
worship.
We may well call such heroism sanity
Now another devoted priest OF the Ro-
man Catholic church. has gone to the
same service, and the same doom. Father
Courady has gone TO join Father Damian,
and | would o overlook the fact that to
the Sisters of St. Francis, from Syracuse,
New York state, the Hawaiian govern
ment has entrusted the care of the hos
pital near Honolulu, where the patients
are kept prior to their isolation for life on
the leper island. These silent deeds,
these unobtrusive ministrations, are elo-
quent. They manifest spiritual power to
the world. R. E. F.

a Merry soubrette's summer.

dyed my visible skin with a weak decoc-
ton of b%utternut. / would defy you to
detect the imposture. 1t doesn't look like
paint, it won't rub off, and it is exactly
the right tint. l am telling my casual nc
quaintances that have been at Saratoga,
taking horseback rides every morning,
and going boating frequently on the lake.
But for a fact. and in strict confidence, |
haven't been further out of New York
than Coney Island. The company that l
was in last season stranded me out in Hi

back to New York. So there wasn't any

We begin to fear that the campaign of
intellect, which was introduced with such
a flourish recently, is rapidly d~egenerat-
ing. A number OF Irishmen in this city
have just received through the mail a
rather peculiar document. 1t consists of
a card, about as large as an ordinary
postal card. In the center is printed a
flaming union jack, the standard of Great
Britain, while %surmounting the flag staff
is an imperial crown, supposedly the
pictured representation of the crown
which he. majesty Queen Victoria sports
on solemn public occasions. Printed
above it are the words; Regular Demo

A FEAT.

In a political campaign not many years
ago a certain territorial Republican paper
rented two columns of its space to the
Democratic central committee and an in
dependent candidate for prosecuting attor-
ney. The paper appeared regularly every
evening almost torn assunder with fierce
internal dissensions. fhe Democratic
column whooped things up quite ~joyfully
for the unterrifed, and incidentally
poured hot pitch down the back Of the
Republican column The Republican
side of the paper fairly shrieked in dis
cordant agony, while above the pandemo-
niumzwas heard the lusty yawp of the
Independent candidate for prosecuting
attorney. Viewed as a whole or in Sec
tons, we her regarded this paper with a
triangular tripod as the journalistic mar
vel OF the age.
w are now forced to award the palm
to the Sun.
In a half column article yesterday it
repudiates with most indignant scorn the
lDtlIQallOn Ol lHE LEADER IudI Tue ut
publican camp was characterized by more
harmony than a Kilkenny cat conven-
ton, and in the same breath and the same
article advises the Republicans to be har-
monious and united as a breach in their
ranks would mean two more years of
Democratic sway.
One can understand how three different
individuals might express diverse ideas on
exactly the same subject, but it has re-
manned for the Sun to prove that an in
dividual can state two contradictory prop
o~sitions in the same breath and still be
afflicted with the hallucination that he is
suffering from an acute attack of logic.
A little later in the campaign mental
incongrulties are expected as a matter of
course from the Sun but they are coming
ahead of schedule time this year.
