THE PROMISE KEPT.

1t was the boast of the Republi-
cans of Nevada that should Re-
publican President again be placed
in charge of the affairs of our Ma
lion that the resumption of the coin
age of silver at the Carson Mint
would surely be ordered within a
year. A Republican President was
elected, and Thursday word was
received that Secretary Window
had ordered the Mint to resume
operations and begin coming money
on the first of next month. The
promises made by the Republican
orators during the last campaign
have been fulfilled. A Democratic
administration had closed the doors
of the Mint for four years, and it
became the duty of our representa-
tives to place the institution again
in the condition that it was before
the reign of Cleveland. The re-
sumption of coinage at the Carson
Mint means much for Nevada, es-
pecially Carson. Silver will be
worth more to the producer of that
metal, and the small miners will
have a much better chance to dis
pose of their bullion. If a free
coinage measure could be passed
by Congress the State of Nevada
would prosper to such an extent
that the small States of New York,
Pennsylvania, ETC., in a few years
would not be able to recognize us.

NOVEL LODGING-HOUSE.
An Office Building During the Day and q
Hotel at Night.

An Office Building During the Day and u
Hotel at Night.
Among the many peculiar methods
that are employed by some men TO as
sist their salaries is one that was used
by former landlord of mine who now
owns three houses, from which he de-
rives good living, says Mark Z. Len
non in the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
He was for long time janitor OF
large Office building here. 1t became
quietly known TO the class of wander
ers who can pay but small sums for
hotel bills that the corridors Of this
building, which was well heated by
steam, would furnish them lodging at
five cents per night, or ten cents for ire
served berths," as the janitor termed
the Offices, into which he would admit
the cleanest and most trustworthy of
his guests, and on whom he locked
the doors. This was welcome re-
treat TO that class, who often had
not the cash required by the Bethel,
and his patronage became great. The
throng would be compelled to move
out just before daylight and under
pain of never being again admitted,
they were prohibited from leaving any
sign of their presence, such as dirt,
rags, etc. Among the habitues were
many who were sometimes without
even the pittance necessary to pay for
lodging, but under no circumstance
would they be given credit; they could
stay, however, II they would devote
an hour or so in cleaning the place,
by which means the building was al
ways kept so neat that 1t was often re-
marked A woman, child or Grip
pie needed no fee, as they were always
given free lodgings. Even the police
favored the resort, as they often
quietly found criminals that they
could not have done but for the rem
devious. Every night the janitor
reaped rich harvest, and Is n ow well
TO do.

UNCLE SANS DISHONESTY.
How the Government Has Profited by
Funds from Unpaid Money Orders.

How the Government Has Profited by
Funds from Unpaid Money Orders.
For seventeen years after the estab-
lishment of the money-order system in
this country the funds secured through
unpaid money orders were stored up
and boarded, just as though the United
States Government had made a good
speculation. No attempts whatever
were inaugurated TO ascertain the real
owners of this money, which had been
trusted to Uncle Sans care, but the
sum went on accommodating until ii had
reached the enormous figure of about
$1,700,000 Then Congress took hold.
The legislative branch of the Govern
ment decided that the money thus
held was illegally held. and that no
pains should be spared TO ascertain to
whom it belonged, and clause was
attached to one OF the bills appropri-
ating money for the support of
the Post-Office Department au-
thorizing the employment of number
of clerks, whose duty it should be to
ascertain the rightful owners of this
money-order fund, and every effort
made to restore it, Congress also pro-
vided that hereafter. whenever an lad
vice" in relation to an order, which
should remain unpaid In the hands Of
q postmaster a certain number of days
without the money having been
claimed, was received it should be the
1,fu If hn 10 fu n
payee. If this failed to secure the
payment of the money to the rightful
party the sender was TO be notified
and steps were devised By which he
might secure the money which had
not been paid to the person to whom
he desired it should go.
Under the latter act there has been
"a great falling off in the accumulation
of money to the credit Of the money
order fund in New York, and under
the instructions Of Congress some
clerks in the money-order depart
ment have been engaged for
some years in making out a list
Of all unpaid orders, together
with the name of the purchaser of tho
order and the party to whom it was
sent. These lists make an enormous
bill of manuscript, and although they
are not yet completed, they have been
instrumental in restoring great deal
of money to the rightful owners. just
how much has been paid back can not
be ascertained at this time without q
great deal of work, but that there still
remains more than $1,000 200 piled
away in the sub-treasury at New York
to the credit of the money-order fund
is beyond doubt.
Ordinary business honesty would
have demanded that this fund should
never have been allowed to accumu-
late, but Uncle Sam, in his business
dealings, is the most dishonest of NOR
tails. He never pays debt that he can
possibly escape, but insists upon
prompt payment for all his debts. -

The Chamber of Torture

Is the apartment to which the unhappy
sufferer from inflammatory rheumatism is
confined. If, ere the crisis of pain is reach
ed, that fine preventive, Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, is used by persons of rheu-
matte tendency, much unnecessary safer
ing is avoided. Nervines, anodynes and
sedatives, while having none but specie
effect, are yet very desirable at times.
Yet can they produce no lasting effect up
on rheumatism, because they have no
power to eliminate from the blood the
rheumatic virus. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters does this, and checks at the out
set disease which, If allowed to gain
Roadway, it is next to impossible to dis
lodge or to do more than relieve. Rheu-
matism, it should be remembered, is dis
ease with fatal tendency from its prone
ness to attack the heart. A resort so the
Bitters should, therefore, be prompt. Dys-
pepsia, kidney complaint, malaria and
nervousness are relieved by IT,.

THE SILENT DEAD.


"Ther candles arc all out."-Macbeth.
What hap dismays the deadi Their couch Is
low,
And over II the summer grasses creep,
Or winter SHOWS enshroud II, white and deep,
Or long prevailing winds Of autumn blow.
They hear no rumor OF our Joy or woe
The ways we tread are perilous and steep;
They climb no longer-free, at last, TO sleep
Our weariful, vext life no moro 10 know.
DO they forget their love OF long-ago,
And the glad hopes that made their glad
hearts leapi
Or the spent joys for which they used TO
weep,
When Love and Sorrow bureted them sol
On u.s. by winds OF Fate swept TO and fro,
DO they have pity, whom no rude winds
swept
How can telf Their mystery they keep,
Beneath the blossoms as beneath the snow.
And yet, think, from that deep rest below,
They would be glad 70 RISE and love, and
weep
Once more the thankless harvest field TO reap
