THE BOLD ROBBER.

Wisconsin can now hold Its end up
with Missouri when it comes to produc-
ing the chevalier train robbers. There
was a dash of audacity and a touch of
adventurous courage in the way that
fellow held up the passengers on the
Wisconsin Central yesterday morning
that has enough of the flavor of bold
DICK TURPIN about it to excite ones
admiration in spite of the rascal's das-
tardly crime. 1t was a fair illustration
of how an organized minority can be an
overmatch for demoralized majority.
Notwithstanding all the sensational and
romantic features of the robbery, the
authorities of Wisconsin are under OBJ
legations to catch the scoundrel and
mete out to him the just reward of mis-
crime. There will be no trouble in
Identifying the bold rascal, and if he is
permitted to escape. it will be an ever
lasting disgrace to the state of Wiscon-
SIN.

TREASURES of THE SEA.
Collections From the
Coronado Islands.

San Diego (Cal) Sun.
The marine collection at the light
house has been enlarged by yacht
load of sea urchins, abelones,
starfish, moses. eggs and seal
skins, which Harry Israel. the son
of the keeper, brought in the
other day from a cruise around
the Coronado Islands. He was accom-
panied by Henry Gerrul, of Ballast
Point, and they remained away week,
fishing. collecting and hunting. At the
east island they found schooner with
a party of Americans who were fishing
and sealing. There were two parties of
Portuguese at work on the western is
land.
Israel said that he and Gerrul secured
fifty hair-seals in one day. They shot
the large ones and killed the young ones
with clubs. There are three seal rock
erles on the rock points of the west side
of the west island and two on the east
island. Israel, who has observed their
habits, says that they are clannjsh. and
that the seals of one rookery never mix
with the others. The females are
covered with fine hair, while
that of the males is much
coarser. The color of young is
a dark drab. but the old ones are a
brOwnish yellow. The breeding season
is nearly over, then the sea-bulls will
disappear and not return until next
spring. Where they go to is mystery
that has never been explained. They
swallow quantity of small stones for
ballast, which remain in the false
stomach OF ''ballast bag" as the sailors
call it, until they return, when they spit
them out. Mrs. Israel has number of
these greenish cobbleS at her museum.
A bucketful is about the quantity of
stones required to ballast an ordinary
seal.
Mr. Israel said the west island was of
solid rock with coating of loan on the
west side. 1t was there that they found
a mole in the ground and come out only
at night. After it became dark the ex-
plorers listened for the whirr of the
birds. and when it came they struck out
at random with stones and sticks, and
when they heard something fiutter on
the rocks would know that they had
been successful. The bird is trifle larger
than quail, and has short, stubby
wings, resembling those of penguin.
They are nearly black, with some white
on the breast and towards the tail.
Their legs are short and the beak is
longer than the quail's. Their flesh is
said to be palatable, but the eggs only
were tried. They are pullet size and
white, and Israel said they were the
best sea-fowl eggs he ever tasted. He
brought number of them, and also the
eggs of the gull and shag.
In cave on the west island he found
new kind of sea urchin, very beauti-
full and numerous. Instead of the usual
purple and black cOlorS it was brown
ish-red, and was some four inches in
diameter. He also found an abelone
the size of brown bean, which is much
smaller than the least in the nest at the
lighthouse.
Mr.. IsraePs formula for tanning the
skin of hair-seals is to first soak them
in solution OF alum and salt. They
must then be tackled up against fiat
surface with the inner side out, and
have to be scraped daily for ten days in
order to get off all the blubber.

LORD sALIsBURY's SERVANT

The Small Army of Personal Re-
tainers Employed by the British
Premier.
London Correspondence of Philadelphia
Press.
The present Marquis of Salisbury
keeps about seventy indoor servants,
exclusive of dependents of a higher
class, such as private secretaries, lib
rarians and chaplains. All of the
servants are only in activity when the
marquis is at Hatfield, his London resi-
dence not requiring so large service.
l give the catalogue roughly in the
order of Importance. First there
is house-steward, who pays the
other servants and Is charged
to certain extent with their
management. He receives $1,000 a
year, and his assistant, the under stew
ard, $3.50. The butler is paid $3.50 year
and the two under buffers $3.50. Two
French cooks are paid $500 a year each,
and valet of $500 also. Then there
are eight cOachmen, the best of whom
receive $3.50 year; eight footmen, who
receive, Oh an average, SITS year. and
four grooms of the chamber, whose pay
is about the same. Of women servants,
there are eight kitchen maids whose
pay ranges from S125 to 1915 year;
eight house maids and four still room
maids, all of whose pay is on the same
scale as that of the kitchen maid.
| have omitted to mention four larder-
boys, whose pay is probably very small,
but who doubtless have good oppor-
tunity of getting fat. Then there are a
number of wOrkmeD in constant en-
ployment on the house: large number
of pensioners and long string of pro-
feSSiODal or educated men. Sometimes
40 visitors and servants are at Hatfield
at time. The upper servants dress for
dinner. though, for that matter, they are
usually IN evening dress. and my ex-
butler told me that forty servants, male
and female, in full dress, often sit down
to dinner in the upper servants hall.
This includes, of course, the Wallets and
and lady'S maids of visitors.
Of course, a very important item in
the income of these servants is con-
tributed by tips. which they call
walls" correct but somewhat I'M
usual word. The servants who come
most in contact with visitors receive
fully half their wages over again in the
form of tips.
Lord Salisbury spends fortune every
year among employees at Hatfield, in
doors and out. He has, for instance, a
head gardener with twenty-five assist
ants, and forester with twenty men
under him. The total yearly eXpendi-
ture of Lord Salisbury is about $780, goo.
and he is by no means one of the rich
est of his class.
The facts only refer to the servants of
the very exalted. They find the life to
be one of uninterrupted and balmy con-
tent. The servants of the smart, but
poorer people in the West End of Lon
don do not have nearly such good
time. These are the people who must
keep snowy men servants, but cannot
afford to have proper supply of help
in the kitchen. 1t is generally believed
that when they have their houses
crowded at the height of the London
season the servants are slowed away to
sleep somewhere in the cellars.

THE HEWERs OF WOOD.

The recent convention of colored
voters at Lexington, KY, afforded some
evidence of the growing reStiveness of
the imam and brother" in the role as
signed him by his assumed political
captors. In the address adopted it was
stated, that had 40 per cent of the col
ored voters in New York, Ohio, Illinois
and Indiana, voted for Mr.. CLEVELAND,
he would now be president. He had ap-
pointed more of their number to office
than all the Republican presidents COM
bined since LINCOLN. Twenty years as
hewers of wood and drawers of water
for the Republicans had stated all claims
of gratitude, and they should now as
sert their political freedom and vote on
the present questions as white men. If
these views should become epidemic in
the South, the result would be of gem
eral benefit, as it would aid to divide
both races, and the eolored people
would be special beneficiaries.

How did it come about? is question
now asked in regard to the marriage of
a popular writer. The same question
man in Boston married sensible home
body, some years his senior. The croak-
ers croaked we'll, and decided that it
was an unfortunate affair or would turn
out to be in the end. George Eliot says
that this love of ''finding out how it
came about is due to IAN excess of
poetry or stupidity" / don't know as
that is just fair, but do think
when a marriage is contrary to estab-
liShed rules croakers are stupid and for
tunately are often wrong in their proph-

1t is written that when marriage was
about to take place King James used to
ask, What is the woman's makdom and
her fairnessr' The days of ''infatua-

MILLIONAIREs' INCOMES.
John ID. Rockefeller Estimated tC
Enjoy $9.OOO,OOO.

John d. Rockefeller Estimated to
Enjoy 100000.
Wall-Street News.
A Cleveland, o., correspondent writes
that Mr.. H. M. tlagler said a short
time ago that Mr.. John D. Rockefeller's
income had reached 100000 year.
This startling statement from man as
we'll informed as Mr.. Flagler, regarding
the affairs of the Standard Oil company,
was the basis ola careful in CURRY among
brokers and we'll informed financiers as
to the wealth of ClevelanderS generally,
and it can be safely said that there are
no less than SiXty-three millionaireS
within the limits of the Forest city, to
say nothing of immense estates owned
Jointly by heirs.
Mr.. FIagler'S statement regarding
Mr.. Rockfeller's income would make
the head of the great Standard Oil trust
worth $3.50, 000,0 900 on SIX per cent basis.
He said his own income was S3,000,000
year, and estimated Col. Oliver Payne's
wealth at about So. 100000.
But the Standard Oil people are not
the only wealthy residents of Cleveland
whose holdings are represented in seven
and eight figures. Selan Chamberlain
is worth S16. 900, 900, most of which is in
vested in the best of railway securities,
and the S. v Hardness estate, divided
but short time ago between Mrs. Anna
M. Hardness and three sons, is said to
have footed up s2S,000,000. The COM
bined wealth of Jeptha H. Wade and
his grandson, Homer Wade, who has
already inherited an immense fortune,
is certainly not less than S7,OO0,000.

STATE FAIRS.

The season for the local fairs and
general expositions of agricultur al
progress and development are at hand.
and in this part OF the country the prev
alent fruitfulneSs of the year should
make them occasions of enhanced inter
est and utility. The state fair manag-
ers in Iowa are introducing feature
that seems to have large possibilities in
it. All the counties of the state are in
vited to exhibit as counties, with gen.
erous prizes for those that make the
best display of their products. AS there
are ninety-nine counties in that state,
and the majority of them will probably
compete, this should secure very
complete exhibit of the products of the
state. This might be adopted as the
main feature with still more success in
the newer states and territories, as the
counties that wanted to secure adver-
Using would improve the opportunity.
1t would add new interest to the fairs.

PSYCHE.

Against the dusky background, pale and fair,
She stands and in her heavy-lidded eyes
A lurking sadness like shadow lies:
Above, the golden tendrils of her hair
Fit halo for the maiden-face beneath:
And from the opened casket in her hand,
For winch she sought the dark, Pluton1an
land,
The mist sleep-laden, floats, an airy wreath.
Sometimes / think about that picture clings
A magic spell, subtle witcheFy,
That, breeze. like, sways the folds Of
drapery
And quivers in strange lights upon her wings.
1t steals into the depths of violet,
Whose loneliness her lashes half eclipse:
1t waves in smile across her lips,
Although her eyes are full OF vague regret.
All. WE'LL The world is wide and years are
long:
Perhaps some time we may discover why
The pillows murmur-roses bloom and die,
Or how our sweetest poets weave their song
We may learn what the spell is in smile
That brightens earth as when Spring comes
again,
May learn why Psyche smiles so strangely
Her eyes are dark with sorrow ali the while.
