no PAY DURING SICKNESS Oh ON RAINY DAYS.
Some days ago Mr.. J. N. Quackenbush, q

with an attack of rheumatism, WHICH
necessitated his absence from duty for

the sickness while on duty. The matter was
referred to Auditor Petty, who make the fol-
lowing report:
Temporary inspectors are under the law
entitled to pay only while actually engaged
upon their work, and therefore cannot be al
lowed for time lost on account Of sickness or
rainy days l never knew until the receipt of
this communication that compensation
had been allowed for rainy days when
work was stopped. having always

while the latter was In custody OF the
Police Court II was alleged that he obtained
the money by telling Simms that he vas going
10 apply IL to the payment Of the Ane. Judge
Mills held that the proof showed that The de-
PENDANT was guilty.
REMAINS or ZEE yuDoA
The larceny, the judge said, was committed
under the guise Of an officer and under the very
eyes of the court. A ans Of e2o or 90 days vss
imposed.
Lawyer Kicks, for the defendant, noted sa

The other case, in which vsss was charged
with obtaining o. under false pretensss from
samuel Sirams, was then called simms ex-
planned how Iass questioned him concerning
his brother. He said that he gave yass IS
and the latter gave him - release" The ''re-
lease" was shown. II was a blank summons

No Change in AdlerAs Condition.
When Ora Bayne and McBlair examined
Maurice Adler this morning they found him in
practically the same condition a. he was in yes
terday. There was still O slow sccumuia-
ton of pus in the cavity beneath the incision
made at the operation, 90 DR.. Bayne removed
what had gathered and adjusted a drainage
pipe 80 that there shall be no more aggregated
secretion in that part of the body. Last night
was by no means a good one for Adler; he was
very restless and had to be given hyperdermic
injections of morphia. He does not
suffer any pain now and the doctors say the
restlessness come from a diseased brain. The
wounded man talks a little more nationally to-
day than he did yesterday and this afternoon
was quiet. His temperature was 80 $40 de-
grees, respiration was %, while his pulse was
100. No immediate change in his condition
is looked for and the prophets have given up
guessing when the end will come. The at
PENDANTS say they are fully satisfied that the
patient knows he cannot recover, although be
has never said word as to his real condition.
Up to few days ago he kept on insisting that
he would recover; now he says nothing about
his future.

Dead Letter Money.

There is in the United States treasury
vault, a brown wooden box, inches long,
foot wide and Is inches deep, which CON
tains paper money of the nominal value of
several hundred thousand dollars. 1t is
not worth dollar.
The queer thing about it is the manner
in which it was collected. Every bit of it
came from the dead letter office of the
postofice department. Some portion of =
is counterfeit, but the most of it was gen
uine money many years ago. The banks
which issued it and the officers who signed
it are gone and forgotten. 1t was all sent
over to the treasury department several
years ago, and Assistant Treasurer WHEEL
pleY undertook to trace up the various
banks and get as much as possible of it re-
deemed. Occasionally he found descend
ants of some of these old bank officials,
themselves bankers, who were willing to
redeem some of the notes for the sake of
the signatures of their fathers, and in this
way he succeeded in getting several hun
dred dollars worth of it redeemed. A lit
tie of it is Confederate money, but most of
it is of banks, State and private, that went
out of existence many years ago. The
Oldest notes are dated back as far as 1872

Invested of hair and stretch it over the

small wire let it remain till perfectly dry.
A very thin hide, such as squirrel, cat or
coon, is the best Thick hide will not
work well. Now to erect your drum, wire,
ETC., having set your posts and put up your
insulators, which may be made of wire and
suspended from arms which have been
nailed to the posts, bore hole in the
wall where the drum is to be placed, run
the wire through your drum and through
the rawhide in the center, having a button
ready. Pass the wire through the eye of
the button and back through the drum and
twist tightly, letting the button 60, resting
it on the hide. Put up the wire at the
different insulators (string loop suspenders)
till it reaches the other end of the line,
then proceed to do as at first If the wire
has been properly stretched and all the
work done as it should have been done,
you will have good and cheap telephone.

A Systematic Effort Needed.

The development of mineral resources
is progressing in almost every State in the
South. This progress has been marvel
GUS in Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama
and other States are beginning to appreci-
ate the value of their hidden treasures.
Texas is boasting of it's unlimited supply
of pure Bessemer and other ores, and
Northern capitalists have been enlisted in
the work of developing the mines at Llano
and other points.
In the history of this great industrial
movement where does Louisiana find a
place? In the variety and extent of its
mineral resources Louisiana can scarcely
be surpassed by any State in the Union.
We have vast quarries of marble and
building stone and mines of gold, iron,
coal, Ignite, sulphur and salt Of all the
minerals stored up by nature in the State,
salt is the only one that is made TO con-
tribute to the public wealth.
The Item does not believe that the min
eral deposits of Alabama and Texas are
richer than those of Louisiana But the
people of those States have had the bust
ness sagacity to advertise their wares and
attract the attention of capitalists.
Ten years ago little or no thought was
given to the iron and coal mines of Ala
bama. Yet the industrial development in
that State within less time than decade
is as wonderful as tale in the Arabian
Nights. The same result may be accom-
plished in louisiana if the country is
made acquainted with the purity and ex-
tent of the mineral deposits of this State
