The Partine of fine Ways.

Wilkins and Watkins were college chums and close friends. They had been hard students and had taken but little out door exercise. When they shook hands and said goodbye at the end of their college career, they were in impaired health. Both had dyspepsia, liver troubles and troublesome coughs.
 Wilkins had plenty of money and de cided to trave for his health. Watkins was poor. q must go to work for my living" said he, but I'll try the remedy that Robinson talks so much about - Or Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery"
 In less than two years Wilkins came home in his coffin. Watkins, now in the prime of life, is bank president, rich and respected, and weighs 200 pounds.

 A feature of the interior will be an octogonal-shaped reading-room foo feet in diameter, and where anyone of 15O readers desires a book it will be brought to him by means of a mechanical de- vice similar to that used in carrying parcels and cash in ali the leading re- tail houses in this country.
 In the accompanying sketch, showing the condition of the library building September 10, 1891, it will be observed completed to the arches and coverings of the second floor, and for that portion upward it is expected that at least five years more will be consumed to put the building in condition for occupancy.
 Having no great colonnades and pro- jections as adorn the capitol and other public buildings at Washington, consid- erable ornamentation in the shape of carving will be necessary to prevent the broad surfaces from looking bare. Therefore it has been determined that the front and upper part of the building shall be very ornate, the granite carv- ing being elaborate and in good taste. l hC1S CIlS Gllll bICucS On UllC four sides of the building, and in orna- menting the keys to these arches, which correspond exactly with the recognized number of~races of man, it was suggested to have sculptured in bold relief on the key of each arch, typical head of one race. With the assistance of Prof. Otis Mason, of the Smithsonian institution, and an author ity on ethnography, casts of the several types have been secured, each being strongly characteristic, so as to make plain the purpose. A number of these have been finished and put in place and are very effective. Over the arches at the main entrance, which will be from the west, will be the types of the higher order and the very lowest types will be at the back of the building.
 The outer walls of the building are of granite, and in the interior masonry already over IA, 900, 900 bricks have been laid. All the brick facing inside the four courts is of yellowish white en- ameled surface, giving very handsome effect and insuring an abundance of 1irht

GEORGE J. GOULD.

held large interest. And what was more, the father soon learned to rely with implicit faith upon the sons judg- ment and business acutencss.
 At an age when the sons of rich fathers are usually cutting a pretty wide swath in society, and sowing an abundant crop of wild oats, MT. George Gould was as hard at work as any bank clerk in Wall street And it is pretty certain, too, that he had the natural in clinations of youths of his age. But he felt his responsibilities, and in consid- eration of them suppressed all wayward fancics and frolicsomc desires, Since then he has been his fathers confiden- tial adviser and associate, and on more than one occasion of long duration, when Mir. Jay Gould has been abroad, the son has had complete charge of all the immense and complicated interests of the father. He has been the presi- dent of the Pacific Mall Company and of other large corporations. At present he keeps track of all the details of his fathers business, and has gained the respect of all the shrewd men who are associated with Mir. Jay Gould in his various enterprises.
 MT. George Gould is of manly bearing and handsome appearance. In manner, though he is quick, he is courteous, and he imprcsses an observant visitor with the idea that he is young man who knows pretty well what he is about. He is man of family now, and has de- veloped such quiet domestic tastes that he is rarely seen in public except in his journeys to and from his office.

George J. Gould, the Promising Son of
 the Famous Jay.
 The eldest son of Mir. Jay Gould, the capitalist and railroad proprietor, had placed upon him when he was barely of age responsibilities which would have staggered many mature men who do not think badly of their own ability. MT. George J. Gould, who is about thir- ty years old, did not receive a collegiate education, but as soon as he came of age was taken into his fathers office and into partnership with the firm of brokers of which Mir. Jay Gould was at that time a member. He must have learned the mystery of finance very rapidly, says Harper's Weekly, for very quickly he was made director in this company, and that, until soon he sat at the council board of pretty nearly all the corporations in which his father

Petroleum as Fuel.

Reports are received by the bureau of American republics to the effect that the experiment of using petroleum for fuel on the Oroya railroad in Peru has proved successful. The trials were made at an altitude of $500 feet above the sea with the locomotives from the Rogers works of Paterson, N. J. The oil used is not crude petroleum, but Q residuum oil. In the trials the average consumption was 3S. S8 pounds per mile, while with coal it was 7930 pounds. It is reported that the Oroya Railway Company has decided to use oil fuel on all of their locomotives.

A Brooklyn Man Who Took Revenge for
 an Injury.
 PEEKsKILL, N. Y., Nov. 3.-Charles Blisch, proprietor of the Eagle Hotel here, was shot and killed yesterday af- ternoon in his office by a man known as H. Betts of Brooklyn.
 Betts came into the office, where sev- eral people were present, and said to Blisch:
 "You have robbed me of my wife and children and broke up my family and of nearly $10O, O0O."
 Then he drew revolver and fired twice, the first ball taking effect in Blisch's breastbone, and the second in the left shoulder blade, causing death in a few minutes.
 Betts was arrested and taken to White Plains Jail.
 It was said by Betts that Blisch met Mrs. Betts in Brooklyn and had alienated her affections from him.

twenty feet long, and bound together with steel bands or hoops. This wooden pipe is thirty-six inches in diameter, and will therefore carry large volume of water. What is new in this line is the use of wood for constructing so long and large pipe as this for irrigat- ing purposes. Wood is not usually plentiful in sections needing new irrigation works, and it is therefore not likely that this plan will be initiated to any considerable extent.

THE people of Tennessee have their law makers to blame for last week $ out break of the miners against the convict labor system. Last July the miners threatened to drive the cOnvicts out, and they rclented only upon the assur- ance that the legislature would at once be called together, and the convict labor law repealed. The legislature was con vened, but it adjourned without chang ing the law materially, and the old order of things has continued until now, when the miners have revOltcd again, and have released over 300 convicts, be- sides destroying large amount of property. It is evident that the revolt has assumed serious. dimensions, and It remains to he seen whether the Tenn cssce authorities will repeal the 0bn N ions statute, or undertake to enforce it. despite the opposition of the miners. If the latter alternative is adopted, there k likely to be considerable blood spilled there.

OUR RELATIONS WITH CHILL.

Speculation as to the outcome of the Chilian difficulty is the principal occu patton of a gcod many people at this time, and not a few, including all the officers in the navy, where promotion is slow in times of peace, are heartily wishing for war, notwithstanding our poorly prepar, condition for war, even with a weak power like Chili.
 Secretary Tracy admits that few even of our new vessels are properly prepared to fight and that something is lacking in either the equipment or armament of every one of them; besides, we would find it very difficult to maintain fleet in Chilian waters without a single coal ing station in that section of the world. However, it is not probable, althoug h possible, that we shall go to war with Chili. Scnor Montt, the Chilan minis ter here, is confident that an agreement mutually satisfactory will be reached after his government has finished the invcstg gatiUn it is making into the fight of the mob, and late adviccs from Chili indicate that such an opinion is enter tained there.
 Republicans admit that Mir Blaine would like very much to get Minister Egan out of Chilli, but they say ae will not be recalled while the relations hc- tween the two countries are in such a strained condition as at pres ent, unless it shall be determined by the admins tration to break off all diplomatic rela- ton with Chili, and that will not be done unless it becomes absolutely neces- sary in order to maintain the position original demand upon ChiIi.

Los Angeles herald., 1891-09-14

"LooK before you leap" 'tBe sure
you're right and then go ahead" These
are standard aphorisms which, though
they may have had the gloss knocked
off them, still come up smiling and
potential in the affairs of life. We use
them in this instance for the benefit of
the City Council and the City Attorney.
Do not, friends and fellow citizens, talk
about condemning land for an outfall
sewer before the people of Los Angeles
have voted for an outfall sewer. We
speak with some authority in this mat
ter, because this journal has had the
distinguished honor of knocking out
some il-considered propositions on this
head in the past. When the call
comes for show down OF hands the
people of Los Angeles will sanction no
project for the disposition of the sewage
that does not involve an intelligent
scheme for its utilization. It is decid-
edly funny to hear people who ought to
know better talking about condemning
lands on the Centinela and in Ingle-
wood. Perhaps if these persons would
apply themselves to finding out how the
city could condemn lands in Inglewood
and the Centinela they would have
more enlightened ideas on the matter.
Then that proposition OF popular vote
on the outfall sewer? This recalls the
homely old adage, "First catch your
hare, and then cook it,"
