WAsuINGToN, Jan. s, 1850. J
Hon. I'm. a Kincenl.

Hon, Irm, A Vincent!
DEAR SIR:-I have always said to your
friends, as well as to you, that your re.
moVal from the office Of Judge for the
Territory OF New Mexico did not in the
least imply charge or conviction ofdis-
honesty, incapaCity or judicial miscon-
duct. In the condition Of affairs ut that
time, deemed 1t my duty 10 promptly
pursue the course so unfortunate for
you, and which was adopted by me
upon the mere showing OF the fact al
legged without inquiry US to your motives
and purposes, My action was unfairly
harsh, but l thought it wasjustified.
Often since that time, as ull the facts
attending tho incident have become
known to me, aud us | reflected uron
your otherwise unexceptional judicial
career, 80 far as II has come to my knowl-
edge, have been impressed by the rep
resentaLions OF your friends that your
removal had subjected you to u suspi-
Cion which was uni just and unwarranted.
So fur us am concerned, notwith-
all that has passed, am at this
time willing to express my confidence
in your ability and uprlglltness.
There Is now a vacancy in the Chief
JusticGship OF Montana. So fur us re-
gards your fitness, should be entirely
willing to see you in that place. l
write to ask you, therefore, whether in
case | should think ii well 10 do 80, am
at liberty TO submit your name to the
Senate for that office. lmake this prop.
osition with II reservation, for reasolls
not in the leust connected with your
qualifications, and shall be
glad to know your views upon the sub.
iect us soon as possible.

A Steamer on the Mississippi River Strikes
a Fatal Snag.
BAYOU SARA, La, Jan. THE steamboat
Paris c. Brown struck a snag at Hermitage
Landing, and sank to the bottom. 1t is said
five of the cabin passengers, two firemen and
one deck passenger are missing. Hermitage
is only twenty-five miles above Baton Rouge,
but owing to want of communication with
that point nothing definite was learned as to
the loss of life and property. Two roust-
abouts who passed down on the Oliver
Bierne say that six of the crew and one
passenger were lost, but they could give no
names. A large part of the cargo win be a
total loss
New ORLEANS, Jan. THE Paris c.
Brown left this port Friday night with 300
tons Of freight, to which was added $50 tons
on the way up Her cargo consisted of 40
tons of car wheels and the remainder Of
sugar, molasses, old iron and sundries She
was registered at l 400 tons and owned by
Capts A. M. Halliday and c. G. Young
She was valued at $24,0O0, and insured
through George w. Near's agency at Gin
cinnati for $4,000. Nothing is known here
as to the insurance on cargo She was COM
manded by Capt. c. g. Young, a native of
Cincinnati She had on board ten cabin
passengers and few deck passengers.

In the First Row Seats.

'It's funny that 80 many silly old fell
lows will persist in taking the first row
seats" said bright coryphee at Niblo's.
"They might as well stay out of doors
and ask afterward if we had seen them.
The footlight glare is SO strong tEat it is
impossible to distinguish anybody person
ally within range Of several rows, and
even then, especially in a spectacle, where
so much depends on dazzling lights, it Is
almost impossible to make out individ-
uals. They are all alike, and about as
separate in feature as SO many Stoughton
bottles. Here and there, with the waver-
ing light, glistening surface bobs into
view, and shows us that our old admirers
are on duty, but the vision is too brief
and vague for any special glanccs or
smiles.
"a young friend of mine in the second
line of the Matthias 6andorf' ballet had an
anxious experience q few weeks ago on
this account. Her intended husband for
several nights sat near to the stage,
and beamed with happiness every time
his idol came into view. Her smiles,
however, appeared to be in directions
away from him. He was jealous in an in
slant, and went home brooding and hurt,
instead of after her, as was his custom.
The next night and the next he had the
same sad experience. She was mystified
and heart broken. At last came along
his grieved letter, which she confded to
me, and the whole thing was clear. had
her write him tender note, and when
they met had the difficulty soon mended
and left them as happy as ever. He now

TO SEARCH OUT AN ELDoRADo.
A Capital of $4,000, 900 Subscribed to De-

A Capital of $4,000, 900 Subscribed to De-
velop Brazilian Gold Fields.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 5.-One of the biggest
land deals on record has been consummated
with the Brazilian government by Pittsburg,
New York and Washington capitalists. The
principal object of the promoters of the
scheme is to open up valuable diamond and
gold fields in far western Brazil A company
with capital of S2,0O00O0 is in process of
formation. The grant is for between $4,000
and 10000 acres Of land bordering the Amazon
river in the region of the Andes mountains.
The idea is to first send an exploring party to
the company's grant. The party will include
expert miners, sappers and scientists. The
party will remain year and make ex-
haustive surveys and researches.
A young man in Allegheny who has spent
considerable time in Brazil says the natives
each year bring great quantities of gold and
precious stones to the settlements from the
vicinity indicated The land is situated
near point where, according to tradition,
the ancient Peruvians found millions of
dollars worth of gold, portion of which
was carried away by foreign army which
invaded the country. Pension agent William
Barclay, of Pittsburg, is prominent mem-
Der of the company, and it is also said that
three government officials in this city be-
sides Mr.. Barclay will be actively identified
with the corporation.

A Boom for Gloucester.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Jan. S.-Yesterday
was the busiest day in the history of the
fresh fish trade here. Since the withdrawal
of the halibut trust local companies have
prepared to control haddock as well as hall
but, and from the volume Of business they
seem likely to succeed Owners are encour-
aging the movement, and have ordered their
shippers to sell trips here The amount
landed and shipped was 10000 pounds of
halibut, prices ranging from nine to thirteen
cents, and $50, 1000 pounds of haddock, with
several trips In the stream yet to land. Fish
ermen are satisfied, and favor making this
the Principal point of distribution. Steamers
enough to handle the traffic can be supplied.

Medical New York In 1900.

It was an age of controversy, Of fierce
politics and unyielding dogmatism. In
medicine the methods of Galen rather
than Of Hippocrates prevailed, and there
was more art than science; theory ruled
the day. The physician of the period
prated about nature, inert practice, pie
thora and depraved humors. but bled In
variably and without grudging. vene-
section was the fashion; indeed, its omis-
sion was sin.
The first dissection in the city, that OF
the body Of criminal. was made in 1850,
and in 1920 In New York city the first
medical degree ever granted In America
was conferred upon one Robert Tucker.
In 1893 occurred the great yellow fever
epidemic, which destroyed 2.036 persons,
creating great furor in the ranks Of the
medical profession both In the Old and
New Worlds. The physicians Of the day
carried their own medicine and charged at
the rate of 10 cents dose. John
Shrady's Lecture.

SOUGHT BELIEF IN DEATH.
A Hazleton Dentist and His Wife Agree
TO Die ToUather.

"A Hazleton Dentist and His Wife Agree
to Die Together.
HAzLEToN, Pa, Jan. 8.-Dr. j. H. Nyer,
the Oldest dentist of the town, shot and
killed ais wife, and then placed the muzzle Of
revolver at his temple and sent bullet
into his own brain. The death of each was
instantaneous. The deed was evidently a
premeditated double suicide by the doctor
and his wife. The latter was an invalid for
number of years and suffered from an in
durable disease The doctor had large
practice, and all the money he made was
spent in attempts to obtain relief for his wife
from her malady.
No children blessed their union The af-
fection of the couple was strong, and nothing
was spared by the husband to add to the
comfort of the wife. Last winter was spent
in Florida with the hope of helping the
wife's health, and repeated visits have been
made to physicians IN nearly every part of
the country to secure relief for her. On Sat
urday last they returned from one of these
trips, and Mrs. Nyer had been confined to
her bed since that time Every circumstance
points to a mutual understanding between
the two that death could only end their
trouble and her suffering.
The doctor went to his Office and spent
few hours. He then returned to his resi-
dence, went to his bedroom, where his wife
still lay in bed, locked the door and shot her
in the head. He then took position before
a mirror and killed himself with the same
weapon. A letter was found in the doctors
pocket, addressed to friend, in which he
said his wife's health and trouble with rela-
tives had prompted them to end their exist
ence, and that his wife was perfectly willing

All Is Lovely at Fall River.

FALL River, Mass, Jan. S.-The regular
monthly meeting of the Spinners' union last
night accepted by large vote the new
schedule proposed by the manufacturers, and
it will take effect with the beginning of the
year. The strike at the Robson mill was
declared off. In advising the adoption of
the new schedule Secretary Howard said
it was the best the spinners could hope for at
present. The relations between the spinners
and manufacturers were closer now than
ever before, and the manufacturers were
gradually coming down to the basis of
schedules in the old country, which is what
the spinners wanted

Tt Costs One Horse Power.

According to the best scientific author
ity, it costs one horse power to keep in
motion one ton of metal or weight; thus
every unnecessary 1000 pounds weight on
your line shaft costs you one horse power.
To maintain horse power costs from $50
to $125 per year. Any manufactures who
will take the pains to investigate the un-
necessary weight, by heavy iron pulleys,
too tight belts, etc, will be1 surprised to
find the enormous waste of power caused
in this manner, to say nothing about the
loss resulting from the shortened life
Of the entire equipment. Boston Budget.

PARIS, Jan. 8.--Terrific storms accompa-
MED by thunder and lightning, have pre-
vailed throughout the south of France to a
degree unexampled in the history Of that re-
gion. The rivers have flooded their banks,
to the destruction Of large amount of prop
erty, and landslides have interrupted traffic
on many of the railways. In many towns
most of the houses are flooded and the occu-
pants driven to the upper floors.
