Only a Handful of Dust.

Especial to THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 12.-Herman Frank is
a millionaire resident of Milwaukee of an
tiquarian tastes. In his house there are
Indian relics, bit of the barney stone,
mastodonian teeth and other such things
but Mr.. Frank wanted mummy, so he
went, year ago, to Egypt. He failed to
procure any dried-up Pharaohs, however
and came back to Milwaukee disguised
Through friend of his. who knew Jerry
Lynch, of San Francisco, while that gen
tleman was doing the pyramids, Mr. Frank
successfully negotiated with the American
consul at Cairo for the shipment to this
country of two specimens of bandaged
corpses. He paid Sl,S0) for them and s40O
duty at the New York customs house
They arrived yesterday and in the pres
ence of the officers OF the public museum
he opened the box which contained the
treasure. Then Mr.. Frank began to re-
move the cloth that covered the face of one
of the mummies The gentlemen bent
over the box as the cloth bandages were
unwound. At last the fold was taken
away and they saw the sembiance of a
head crumble and decrease in size until
nothing but a tablespoonful of impalpable
dust met their gaze. The covering to the
rest of the BODY was takehraway and the
same transition occurred. The other mum
my met with a similar fate. The gentle
men do not know whether the free United
States climate affected the mummies, or
whether some shrewd mummy manufac-
! turer in Egypt sold Mr.. Frank fake. Mr..
Frank will do his utmost to collect the
duty he paid the New York customs of
ficers, who have, as he says, no duty on
dust, and that is all he has to show for his

The Bonlangtst Disclosures i.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examlner Cable.1
PARIS, Sept. 12.-The statement of the
Duchesse Dues of the manner in which
she contributed 100000 francs to the Bou-
laugist cause caps the climax of Boulangist
disclosures. In this connection, Blowitz,
the Paris correspondent of the London
Times writes: IL have hitherto kept silent
on the subject of Boulangist revelations,
but having been importuned to give my
views | shall at last reply. In this aston
ishing affair some have bought and some
sold themselves we'll knowing the nature OF
the transaction, but there are others, highly
honorable people, who nave sold themselves
without being conscious Of the character OF
their action. Still, all seemed to consider
their country as something that it was en-
tirely proper to turn to account and make
the most of, and no one appears to have
placed the welfare of the iatnerland above
to destroy the Boulangists They were
dead already. 1t is the Royalists and their
prince who are being slaug entered, and it Is
| France who is being degraded and made to
suffer the loss Every one referred to in
| these disclosures suffer more or less in
honor excepting the Duchess Dues, who
appears in no worse light than that of the
extravaganza who wished to pose as the
nineteenth century Joan of Arc, brandish-
ing in one hand a sword forged at the mint
and fourishing with the other q banner
made of bank notes.

In The Senate.

WASHINGTON, Sept 12.-Tne conference
report on the railroad land forfeiture bill
was taken up, and Morgan continued his
argument in opposition. Owing to indis-
position Mcpherson was excused from the
conference committee on the tariff bill, and
VOORHEES, substituted.
Morgan was followed by Saunders in
behalf of the consequent report, the main
point of his contention being that lands
actually patented to railroad companies
could not be taken from them because they
turned out to be mineral lands.
Hearst TOOK a contrary view, and insisted
that mineral lands were specially reserved
by the original grants
Saunders said the courts of Washington,
California and the supreme court of the
United States held the term mineral
lands to mean lands commercially valued
for mining purposes.
Without concluding his argument, Saun-
ders yielded for executive session, and the
Senate soon adjourned.

More About Nettie Carpenter.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
New YORK, Sept. 12.-Gossips arc busy
here talking over the action in London of
Miss Nettie Carpenter in refusing to marry
MIR. Thrush6eld. The young lady has many
friends here. Her real name is Shorter,
but she goes as the adopted daughter of DR..
and Mrs. Wisely Carpenter, of this city,
who early discovered the girls talent.
Three years ago Mrs. Carpenter and Miss
Nettie Carpenter went abroad, and Miss
Carpenter was at that time engaged to be
married to Morris Weber, young lawyer
of this city The engagement was regarded
with favor by Mrs. Carpenter and Dr.
| Weber made two flying visits to Europe,
with Mrs. Carpenters approval, 10 meet
his fance. Th9n Miss Nettie broke the
engagement.
DR.. Carpenter died and left will provid-
| ing that 10 the case of the marriage of his
wife or their adopted daughter their por-
] ton of his property should be forfeited.
Mrs. Carpenter came to New York to at
| tempt to break TIE will. Meantime Miss
Netue Carpenter had captured the heart of
the young Englishmar, and their engage
ment was announced, but as yesterday s
cable showed, this was also renowned.
! Mrs. Carpenter, who was seen to-day. said
| that Nettie's conduct was most unaccount-
able to her. She said Ne:tie knew that not
withstanding the clause in DR.. Carpenters
will, the supreme court had decided that
she retains her income after her marriage
About three years ago some mischevous
| rascal chopped off one of Miss Carpenters
long braids of hair while she was shopping
in Macy's store. The long braid of silky
dark hair was the pride of her mother:
heart. and her grief at seeing the child with
a cropped head was cruel experience.

Six Inches of Rain in Three Days

PITTsBURG, Sept r. The rivers here
are rising steadily, although they are not
near the danger point yet. Advices from
all along the Allegheny and Monongahela
rivers promise much higher wateSs before
Sunday The rainfall averaged six
inches the past three days,
something unprecedented in the upper
counties of the country. Fairs are
suffering greatly, being located on the low
lands as rule and damaged exhibits and
ruined race tracks are reported from all
sections, causing all the fairs TO close at a
loss. Railroads are suffering much incon-
vience. All of the lower streets in Canton,
Ohio, are flooded and damage is being done
by flooded cellars which, however, is small
Farmers are also sufferers. AT New
Castle, Pa, hundreds of houses are covered
on the first floor with from one to six feet
of water, and families are obliged to move.
Scores of mills and furnaces in New Castle
and along Meshunock are covered.

THE BEHRING SEA QUESTION.
A Member of Parliament is Now Investigating
the Matter.

Special to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
F New YORK, Sept. l2-Sir George Baden
Powell, X. c. NJ. G. A, member of parlia-
ment, arrived Wednesday and left tonight
for Montreal 1t is reported that he came
here to look into the Behring sea matter.
In the course of an interview he said: up
to the present time we have had good
deal of correspondence between the two
governments, chiefly, however, on the dip
lomatic features of the case. The British
government is willing to submit to arbitra-
ton certain disputed points, and we in
England hope that the Americans are
equally willing. No further negotiations
can be had until we know what the Ameri-
cans will agree to do in the matter of re-
ferring certain points to arbitration. There
| is one point, however, that we cannot very
clearly understand. Perhaps, | might say
| that it is more difficult for the people at
large to graspit than for the government
| itself. The American papers we read in
England tell us that there is a checking of
negotiations on account of a Presidential
election. That is constantly being Ginned
| into US. We are told this man and that
/ man would act and write differently if ii
were not that he expected, or his friends
wanted him, TO become candidate for the
Presidency at the election. 1t is not
altogether plain to US how practical peo-
pie like the Americans can allow large
question like this, for it is really large
international question, to be hampered in
its settlement by these personal prospects
and ambitions. We can hardly believe
these reports are true. l am now goine
up to British Columbia to see what the
feeling is among the marine sealer:
who will be just coming back from theil
fishing. There has been, of course, grea
irritation among them, both American ant
British sealers, but what want to find GU
is how far they are agreed among them
selves as to what regulations are necessar,
for preserving the seals. | shall give tt
our government, to both governments, TO
that matter, if they care for it, all the in
formation can gather, for think the in
dustrial position ought to be accuratel,

Carter Accepts at Last.

BUTTE, Mont, Sept. IL. Especial tele
gram to THE HERALD. Thomas A. Carter
will be the next Republican standard
bearer in Montana. but he made his party
wait and plead before he would consent to
accept their nomination. Before the con-
vention he positively refused to run. Yes
terday he was nominated by reclamation,
aud when notified telegraphed back for
them to try and unite upon another
man. This they refused to do and
simply waited for him to give
in. Yesterday afternoon they adjourned
until night to receive Carter's acceptance
Last night they adjourned until this morn
ing for the same purpose, and still it did
not come. This morning they adjourned
until noon, and waited two hours without
so much as recognition from Washington.
Then, worn out with waiting, the copven-
ton adjourned sine die, leaving the central
committee to deal with Carter Some of
them still had independence enough to re-
kept a great party assembled in state
convention, waiting on his convenience,
and they went home so badly
disgruntled that it will take more than the
party cash to restore them to the party
discipline. Finally, about o'clock this
afternoon, when most of the delegates were
already home, a telegram came announcing
what was known it would announce, that
Carter accepted the nomination after much
urging. He would have saved himself and
party many vores by accepting in the first
place, and the Democrats here are conf

THE MIND-READER'S CLOSE CALL.

half neither the doctor nor myself could
detect any signs of life, except that his
lips were red instead of white. Finally
we brought MIN around and then he re
lapsed into frightful delirium, going over
again and again the experience of the day.
What causes this prostration!- During the
test his brain is contracted to its full ex-
tent and his pulse gets up so high that ii

in. All the blood rushes back to the heart
and literally STILES him. From the mo

and kneading the flesh over his

stagnated and death followed as certainly

fine bit of play. At special request. most
of the players were personally presented
