Orc Worth $50 a Ton DIscovesetl:in Now
 Jersey Town.

NEWARK, N. J., Sept. 21.-Restdents of Irvington. suburb of this city dreamed of fabulous wealth yesterday when they heard that there was gold under the ground and not a few of them worked with pick and spade in search of the precious metal. A man named Pow CTS picked up an odd-looking stone last week while working on the Clinton avenue road. The stone contained @ quantity of iron pyrites which glittered like gold. Powers threw the stone to companion, who took it to one of the employees of Glarieu & Woolsey, refin- CTS. An analysis showed that the stone contained gold, and was worth about $50 ton.
 'I know very little about the matter yet" MT. Glorieu said yesterday, ''but is sufficient ore here to make it profit ahle to mine. The specimen that was brought to mo was only roughly assayed, but such ore would yield about $50 8 ton I have taken steps to find out if there is anything in this matter, and will have some digging done in the neighborhood to sec if the ore can be found in quantities"
 The place where the stone was found is on hilly ground on Clinton avenue, about half mile from Springfield avenue.
 ''This section," said Roadmaster Van Clief yesterday, ''is full of the rock. 1 remember picking up some of it seven years ago on Elmwood avenue, which crosses part of this same ridge. Since the assay was made and the ore found to contain gold, quite number of people have been hunting for the stone. I heard that one piece was assayed and showed yield of s12O ton."
 Others have picked up pieces of the rock, but as yet there is nothing to show that the gold exists in any quan- tity to make 1t worth mining. There is a small gold fever among the people who are on the tiptoe of expectation until some conclusive experiments shall have been made. They ridicule the | idea that the stones were scattered around to cause a temporary boom in real estate

ANECDOTE OF DIR. RUSH.

The Power with Which Memory Asserts
 Itself in Our Sleep.
 Dr. Rush was, perhaps, one of the most untiring students that ever lived, says the New York Ledger. Two young physicians were conversing in his presence once, and one of them said: 'When I finished my studies" sWhen you finished your studies!" said the doctor, abruptly; "why, you must be happy man to have finished so young; do not expect to finish mine while live"
 The writer once asked him how he had been able to collect such an immense amount of information and facts as his pub lcations and lectures contained. 'I have been enabled to do it," he replied, "by econ- omizing my time as Mir. Wesley did. Ihave not spent one hour in amusement in thirty years" And taking small notebook from his pocket, and showing 1t to me, he said: II fill such a book as this once week with observations and thoughts which occur to me, and facts collected in the rooms of my patients, and these are all preserved and used"
 once heard the doctor relate the fol- lowing dream, to show that the memory sometimes exerts itself more powerfully in our sleeping than in our waking hours in calling up things that have been forgotten: : A gentleman in Jersey, of large property, had provided in his will that his wife, in connection with a neighbor, should settle his estate. After his death, in fulfilling the intentions of his will, a certain important paper, which could not be dispensed with, was missing. Repeated and diligent search was made for it, but in vain. The widow at length dreamed that the said paper was in the bottom of a barrel in the garrett, cov- cred with a number of books. The dream made so strong an impression on her mind that she was induced to make an examina- tion, and there, to her astonishment, she found the paper. The doctors explanation was that no supernatural agency had been employed, but that during the abstraction of all external objects and impressions from the senses in the sleeping state, the memory exerted itself with an tntenseness that it could not do in the waking state. He supposed that her husband had informed her at some time of the situation of this paper, and that the fact had become dor mant in her memory until the dream called tup.

How Little Monkey Took the Conceis
 Out of . Prixe-Fightsr.
 In the old St. Louis museum we had. among other attractions, baboon called Dick, says Q writer in the New York Sun. He was solid chunk of fellow, good tempered and a great favorite. He had one peculiarity, though, which we had to cater to. He took short maps twice day, and II aroused before his time he was as ugly as sin all the rest of the day. We had him dressed up as a little boy, and when the time came to take his nap he crept into an old-fashioned cradle and the fat woman generally rocked him to sleep. That very thing was quite Q draw, and plenty of peo- pie came in solely to see the baboon rocked oil to slumber.
 One day, soon after Dick had closed his eyes. half-drunken chap entered the place and created considerable disturbance. He went by the name of Awful Pete and was a hard slugger. I tried to reason with him and get him out, but he unfortunately caught sight of the sleeping baboon and at and put through his tricks. I sought to ex- plain, but he wouldn't have it, saying:
 sI paid to see the bab, and I'm going to see him or bust the b'ilerr'
 But if you wake him he'll fight" Essa
 ''Then I'll wiring his neck!' Before could stop him he dodged under the rope and lifted Dick out of the cradle. The animal woke up and took in the situa- tion in about the tenth par t of a second, and then he fastened his hands into Pete's hair, got grip with his teeth on the slugger's nose, and we had museum, menagerie and circus combined for the next five minutes Pete roared and whooped and pranced around in pain and terror, and the bab pulled handfuls of hair from his head, and bit and scratched like a wildcat. When we finally got him off that slugger was sight to behold, and had to be taken to the hos pital at once. Two hours after he had had his wounds dressed went to see him, and as soon as I spoke to hlm he began crying and asked:
 'Was it baboon which did thisa"
 "Yes."
 "Big as a liona'
 "Oh, no. He weighs about twenty-six pounds. Why do you weep?"
 "Hadn't orter. weep2" he savagely de- handed, as the tears came afresh. sI've had thirteen fights and knocked my man out every time, and now to be downed by a weazen-faced monkey in one round has broke me all up.''

T0-MORROW'S FIGHT
The Elections in France Great
 ing Great Excitement
BouLANGER.s FRIENDS NOISY.
President Oarnot Issues Manifesto to the
 People.

France Have Entered Into an Unholy
 Compact to Destroy the Republic-The
 Government Likely to be Sustained. but
 Will Lose Number of Deputies-Re-
 tired Officers sympathixc with Boulanger
 PARIS, Sept. 20-The excitement over the elections of tomorrow is hourly increasing throughout the whole of France. In every city and town of the Republic political meetings of one set of partisans or another are held nightly, and when tomorrow arrives and the French elector will have to register his choice for the Republic as 1t is or otherwise, he need not falter in his choice for lack of sufficient counsel.
 The Boulangists are making prodig- ious efforts to galvanize their idol into semblance of life, and, though they are sorely handicapped by the enforced absence from prudential Considerations of their hero, they yet succeed in keep ing up heap of noise. In these efforts they have the active, though blind and unintentional, aid of the frightened langist cause all the responsibility it possesses by laboriously and idiotically sending large bodies of troops to all their meetings.
 At last nights meeting at the Cirque Fernando, in Paris, the we'll known Boulangists Laguerre. Laisant and De- lourede spoke to over 4,O00 of their sympathizers, but at the same time they were compelled to address their and soldiers, who had been sent by the Ministers ostensibly to preserve order, but really to overawe the meeting.
 Notwithstanding their presence the Government was roundly abused, and shouts of ''Vive Boulanger" rose from all parts of the great hall. After the meeting over a hundred of those who took part were arrested and thrown into prison with no charge whatever against them.
 The best informed opinion in Paris is that the Governmentwill be sustained tomorrow by tho people, though they will lose considerable number of Deputies. President Carnot has pre- pared manifesto, which will be issued tonight, on the eve of election, in which he will appeal to the people of France to save themselves from the dangers which threaten the Republic. He warns them that the enemies of France have entered into an unholy compact to destroy the Republic for no better purpose than that. they may have the chance to fight afterward over the cir prey.
 Bou!angcr's Friends Wish Him Success. LONDON, Sept. 21.-Fffty retired officers of the French army, who were formerly comrades of General Bou- langer, have presented the General with an address protesting against his prosecution by .he Government and ex- pressing the wish that he may gain a striking victory in the coming elections for members of the Chamber of Depu- ties.
