From the New York Sun.
A New Yorker, who had been out to
Larchmont over night,arrived at the Grand
Central station yesterday morning, and,
as il was rather sultry, he called a hack.
man 20 him and said: ~ want 10 go to
the Hotel Brunswick-how much?
The hackman looked him over care
fully, evidently concluded he was a stran.
ger, and then said:
"The regular fare is $3.50, but I'll take
you for So"
The New Yorker smiled amicably, en-
tered the cab, and after a rickety and rat
Ting journey arrived at the Brunswick.
He took out a 81 bill, laid IL carefully on
the drivers seat. and said with an air Of
the most sincere candor:
at never does any good to lie, you
know. The legal fare is probably $3.50,
n IL you had told the truth l would have
given IL to you. ! will keep back a rebate
of 80 cents TO impress upon your mind
thoroughly the all-prevailing and beauti-
full effect of truth.
Then he walked into the Brunswick,
followed by the conventional outburst Of
abuse and profanity.

A Great Falls dispatch to the Helena

In from Logging Greek and reports the
discovery on the I'D inst, OF the richest
and largest vein Of ore yer known SO

iloat was found To n depth OF six feet he
came Ia n vein of silver carbonate nine
teen feet wide and seven and one-half feet
thick, a portion of which assays 81, loo To

age of S2,600 in gold. silver and copper TO
the ton. Ii is n true flssure vein, SO pro-
nounccd by the best mining experts OF the
district. Mr.. Douglas Is one OF the most
experienced miners in Montana, having
worked in the mines of Mexico, Califor-
mia, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. He
says no such discovery has ever
been made before In the world, so
far as he has any knowledge. The
discovery has produced great excite
ment and at a single bound places Log

present spring, at the head OF the Belt
mountain districts. The camp is near

ing only seven miles from Monarch on
the Belt Mountain railroad. A good road
is being made from the railroad To the
camp. A store and a clearinghouse are
being erected and n postofiice will be
asked for Immediately. The great boz
nanza is called the Maud and May lode.
Another vein has just been discovered in

A CANE WITH A HISTORY.
One OF President Iincoin's Most Cherished
Walking Sticks.

One Of President LincoIn's Most Cherished
Walking sticks.
There was exhibited Mt the Office OF the
Chicago Journal the other day a historic
relic Of great interest and n which no
money can buy Of the present owner. IL
consists of one of the many That
were presented 10 President Lincoln dur
ing his memorable administration. In
1862 there was sent 10 the White House ! n
Washington n cane by some unknown adj
mirer of the martyred president. II was
carved out of n piece OF wood and was a
fine specimen of artistic work. IL was
so unique and so different from the
other canes That were sent To him that
President Lincoln, who appreciated the
skill and ingenuity displayed in the carry
ing, priced this particular walking stick
very highly and cherished IL among his
dearest mementos. II remained in his
personal belongings up to the time OF his
assassination.
When Mrs. Lincoln and her family left
the white house this cane was among the
most valued of the relics OF the lamented
president. Mrs. Lincoln removed 20 Chi
cago and look up her residence at a hotel
which she made her residence for "a long
time. In the hotel was "a bright and faith
full bellboy named John Neterstrom. So
attentive and bright was he that Mrs. Lin
coin took a great fancy 10 him, and would
allow no other boy to attend To her wants.
Young Neterstrom fully appreciated the
honor, and was very. devoted To Mrs.
Lincoln during her long ~sojourn at
the hotel. When the time came for her
to leave she rewarded the faithful boy by
giving him this valued stick. John Meter
strom IL now % prominent resident OF
Lake View, aud nothing among his house,
hold possessions is more valued OF treas
ured than this cane. and he is going 10
loan il TO the Libby Prison War Museum.
The cane, which is carved out of apple
wood, is surmounted by the American
eagle. from whose beak extends n scroll
that twines about the upper portion OF the
stick, and bearing the last words of
Stephen A. Douglass-"Stand by the Con-
stitution of the United States" in raised
letters. On one side of the upper part of
the stick is a full length figure Of Presi-
dem Lincoln i'm bas-relief, the ace being
wonderfully life-like. On the other parts
of the stick are cunninRly and realistically
carved guns, k~napsack, caps, helmets,
pouches, and all other implements of the
war.

MOTH YAKIMA, WASH, June 27.-There

There is an impression abroad that
much money is lying unclaimed in the
savings banks OF the state. But money
is a thing that is not lost sight of to any
extent either in savings or other banks.
There may be periods of dormancy in
the claims made for it. Often it is left
by design. An instance of that kind oc-

Albany, which vas twenty-one years old

in 1859 for his then infant son by a
father, and now at his majority the son

personal command, and yet the bank Of

young man worthy of his parentage.
Had the son died his heirs would have

The speed of English naval vessels is
generally determined by u run over a
measured mile. This Is as if a sprint
runper were allowed 10 take a flying
start, and as if the speed he attained by
squirting 100 yards on u good track were
assumed to be the speed he could make
in chasing a pickpocket in the street. 1t
is notorious that these vessels rarely if
even attain in actual service the speed
with which they are credited. 1t will
therefore be understood how much more
accurate was the test imposed upon the
new cruiser Philadelphia when she was
made to run forty miles and back along
the coast of Long Island. The record
she made was OF course materially aided
by the work of the most skillful engi-
neers and stokers employed by the
Cramps, and by the use of picked coal,
but there seems to be little reason for
doubling her ability to run twenty knots
an hour in actual service.-nlustrated

New ORLEANS, Sept. l6.-The long

Andy Bowen, of New Orleans, who re-.
Gently bested Billy Myers. and Jimmy
Carroll, of San Francisco, who was de
feated by Jack McAuliffe in forty-seven
rounds, fought some time ago, came off
tonight, and Bowen was knocked out in
the twenty first round. About 1000
people witnessed the battle, which was a
good one. Bowen weighed 1904 and
Carroll 1929. The purse was $1,000, Of
which $500 went to the loser. Tie police
insisted on five-ounce gloves. In the first
two rounds there was no material advant

best OF 1t, if anything. In the third,
fourth and fifth Carroll was on top, land
ing several severe blows on Bowen's face
and body, although he was pretty well

stomach and nose, In the sixth both
men were tired. but Bowen succeeded in
knocking Corroll down with a right hand
swing. and nearly repeated it a moment
later with a right handler on the jaw.
From this to the 6iteenth round honors
were about even, some hard hits being
received by both men, each OF them seem
ing pretty weary. In the fifteenth Carroll
knocked Bowen down with a terrific
right handler. Bowen got up, but Carroll
was too weak to finish him. In the six.
tenth both received punishment, and in
the seventeenth Carroll gave a tremen-
dous punch in the stomach to Bowen in
return for a singer on the neck and also
drew blood from Bowen's nose. Bowen
clinched aud they fell, Carroll on top.
In the eighteenth Bowen hit Carroll on
the eye, cutting it, and received in return
q blow on the nose which felled him.
In the nineteenth Bowen was very
weak and Carroll, getting his second wind,
gave Bowen several severe blows. In the
twentieth Bowen tried hard to steady
himself and managed TO avoid a knockout,
but in the twenty-irst Carroll landed his
right and left and Bowen fell exhausted.
He rose again, but fell Immediately aud
then was counted out. He was terribly
punished but made no complaint, having
done the best he could. lie showed
