work was not worth much.
But these two soon found that if they
earned their wages and their good
board they must work for them. 1t
soon became subject for much wonder
aud a good deal of admiration among
the men that woman could SO man
age farm. Never did the farm raise
such crops as it did that fall. and in
spite of the improvements she thought
necessary, Mollie paid her interest and
good round sum down on the mort
gage.
In the late fall. just before the
Thanksgiving SHOWS covered the
ground, Mollie received IA morning call
from two strangers whose every move
ment was full of business. Their er-
rand was soon told. They had dis
covered coal on land adjoining her farm
and they wanted To buy that part of
the farm through which they imagined
the vein ran.
The price they offered fairly startled
her. But Mollie had developed into a
fair woman-of-business in these months
and her first thought was, If they'll
pay that, they'll pay more, and it's only
the south lot, that never would give
decent crop of anything anyway" If
they were some time agreeing on terms,
they did agree at last, and Mollie felt
with pride that they were not to her
disadvantage.
The SHOWS fell and Thanksgiving

Neither spoke. The anger that
swelled to bursting in Mollie's heart
softly changed to pity as she watched

changed him for the time. At last he
raised his shrinking eyes.

The Discovery of Gold.

One of the anomalies of the gold dis
covery was its slowness in reaching
Americans in California. 1t was mid
summer before the news was generally
credited in California and Oregon.
Then, when people became convinced
that the reports were true and that
fortunes could be made in a few
months in the Sacramento valley, there
was rush such as was never before
known in history. OF course the Cali
fornia settlers had the great advantage
of proximity to the new FL Dorado.
Next, perhaps. came those in Homo
lulu. The Oregonans obtained their
news by way Of the Sandwich Islands
and Fort Vancouver. These hardy
pioneers had just emerged from a long
struggle with hunger the wilderness
and the Indians. They were poor, and
they saw in the future only vista of
weary work with small profits, as they
had no market for their produce.
Suddenly the scattered settlements
were electrified by the news of the
gold discovery. Those who took part
in the rush declare that not less than
two-thirds of all those capable of bear
ing arms Swarmed over the Siskiyou
mountains and came down to the gold
fields of the Sacramento. In the mean
time the news had spread to the east,
to Australia, and to South America.
From all quarters came Young men as
eager for adventure as for gold. Not
one in Il thousand had any practical
knowledge Of mining or any plan of
remaining in the country after fort
une had been made. Eighty thousand
is conservative estimate of the num-
Der OF gold hunters who flocked to
California in the first twelve months
that followed MarShalls discoverv.-

A Moonlight Maid.

And she was the queen of my soul.
The moon shed silvery sympathy
As we gazed In the sky of June.
Now. what would you do" said my love to me,
IF you were the man in the moon?
In her dimped face gave one glance,
And hope leaped high in my breast:
What lover could wish for q rarer chance
To put his fate to the test?
IF were the man I'm the moon" said !,
As gazed in her face divine,
I'D scatter the envious clouds On high
And for you alone I'd shine.
I'D gather the stars in a buckle bright
To CLEAN on your dainty shoe:
To q comet I'd hitch my car tonight
And wander through space with you.

And gayly her laughter rung.

You d admire me and hold YOUR tongue"

THE CAPTIVE APACHEs.
Secretary Proctor Favors Putting Ge-
ronimo and His Band on q Reservation.

Secretary Proctor has for several months
been giving earnest consideration to the ameli-
Grafton Of the condition of the Apache prs-
oners Of war at Mt Vernon Barracks, Ala,
since Geronimo and his band surrendered to
to the President in two alternative suggestions,
one the purchase Of a tract Of land in the
mountainous region Of western North Caro-
lima or one OF the adjacent states. the other that
the consent Of Congress be requested for their
transfer to some point in the Indian territory,
proposing, if such transfer be authorized, to
locate them at Fort Sill, temporarily, with
view to their final settlement on the Kowa.
Comanche and Apache reservations, if salts
factory negotiations can be contaminated with
those confederated tribes. The latter sugges-
tion has the approval Of the Secretary of War
and he recommends its adoption.
IN HARMONY WITH THE VIEWS OF GEN. CROOK.
This is in harmony with the views of Major
General Crook and Lieut.. Guy Howard, who,
under the instructions Of the Secretary of War,
have recently visited the prisoners.
The band now numbers AGO. Two
are in confinement at Governors Island
children and rs men are at Mt Vernon. Thirty
OF these men only are able-bodied, IS are able
to do more or less work and the rest are old or
crippled
Not all Of them were hostile, some of them
having been in the army as scouts, in which
they rendered valuable and loyal service.
Punishment and imprisonment have been their
reward. These Indians have had all desire for
war taken out of them and now only desire
homee In some locality where they can find
a more healthy climate and learn the ways of
the white man.

THE CONDITION OF SEVENTH STREET.
The communication Of Mr.. o. L. johnson
calling the attention of the Commissioners to
the condition Of It'll street west between b
north and b south was referred to Capt. Rus
sell, who reported today as follows: The COM
plant herewith OF Mr.. johnson OF the shameful
condition of 18th street west between street
north and b street south | do not think is we'll
founded. The old Belgian block pavement
heretofore existing on this street has been torn
up for sewers, gas mains and for lay
ing the cable railroad, 80 that its
condition was almost that OF an unpaved
street. The engineer department has taken up
the whole surface OF the street outside Of the
part for which the street railroad is responsible
and relaid it, and the street is now in better
condition than 1t has been in a long time. The
complaints that have been handed in by differ
ent parties living on this street refer. believe
entirely to two statements. First that this
pavement is not as good as that laid on the
portion OF eth street north Of Pennsylvania
avenue. The reason for this Is that
the portion Of 7th street above
Pennsylvania avenue was paved with granite
block pavement. tar being used in the joints to
make it first-class granite block pavement.
The part complained of is an old Belgian block
pavement, aud is relaid with the same blocks
and in the same manner that it existed before.
No change could have been made in this pave
ment without greatly increasing the expense.
and it would be question for Congress to de-
termine whether they would appropriate for
such o change. The second complaint 10
that the covering over the granite block pave
ment of earth causes the street to be muddy in
wet weather and dusty in dry weather. This
state of affairs must be borne by the people
until this earth has had chance to work well
into the joints of the Belgian block pavement.
For the above. resons think that no complaint
is just on this pavement"
BIDS FOB PAVING BRICK
Bids were opened at the Commissioners Of
fee this morning for furnishing the District

Sentenced to Albany Penitentiary.


In the Criminal Court today in the case of
John o. Cantwell Chief Justice Bingha passed
sentence. Cantwell, q young man, was con-
victed last week of obtaining money (S2) by
false preter1ses, representing that he was the
steward of the Hotel Arno. Mr.. Albert Sellers.
his counsel, stated that the accused had some
months since commenced to drink, and asked
for the sake of his family that the sentence be
light. The father Of the young man made the
same request.
The court said the Imprisonment prescribed
by the act was from one to five years III the
penitentiary, and after some good advice to tho
accused he imposed a sentence of one year in
the peuitentiary at Albany.
The case Of Frederick Sanders alias Birdie
King, colored, convicted of larceny of the per-
son November 30-snatching a pocketbook
from Winda Toussant-was called. Mr.. Sellers
said that sentence had been deferred that the
government might show his bad character from
his record MIR. Lipscomb stated that with the
exception of the record of his commitment
to the reform school he had no other. Mr. Sell
lers asked light sentence in this case The chief
justice imposed a sentence of four years in the
Albany penitentiary, remarking that the statute
provided for maximum of six years. for twas
an ofense which required some expertness. In
this case there was some expertness and it was
also shown that he was in company with a
known thief, who, he had sworn, was the guilty
party. II the verdict of the jury was correct he
was guilty Of q much more serious 0ffepse-per-

GOV. CAMPBELL INAUGURATED
Speaks Out Plainly in Favor of the
Australian Ballot.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Jan. 1a.-Governor-elect J.
E. Campbell took the oath of office today at
noon. His message to the general assembly is
comparatively brief and touches upon a num-
Der of subject of state and local interest. He
recommends that home rule be restored
to all the cities as speedily as possible,
and enters into detail as to the needs
at Cincinnati. He strongly commends
the system of ballot reform. commonly called
the Australian system and sketches briefly the
successes with which it has met In other coun-
be hardship to Illiterate voters is substan-
TALLY answered and the conclusion reached
that public sentiment is not educated to the
point and any attempt to enact such law now
would prove futile.
On the question of cheaper school books the
governor says: Popular education is the
foundation of freedom and prosperity. Knowl-
edge should be furnished at the lowest posi-
bic cost. The state builds school houses pro-
vides teachers and controls every detail Of
education save the furnishing of books. Is
there any sound reason why it should not as
| sumo this function also? Recent experience in
the state OF Indiana shows ostensibiy that
school books equal those in use here are de-
hvered to the children Of that state at IS to so
per cent of their former cost. Other states
have tried the experiment. with apparent sue
cess. 1t seems to be an assured fact that
school books can be furnished either by
direct publication by the state or by con-
tract on behalf of the state at less than
present prices. 1t is not necessary
to inveigh against capital for monopoiizing
this form of publication. 1t is sufficient to as
certain whether books can be furnished more
cheaply by the state without involving it in
material expense or liability. If this can be
proven then it becomes your duty to cheaper
school books
He favors the abolition Of the Office Of COM
missioner of railroads and telegraphs and
thinks the duties could be better performed by
a railroad commission, provided there is any
necessity for the state supervision of railroads.
