TIMES RESENCES.
The Fate of Gen. Miguel Lopez, Wht
Betrayed HGXimilian.

1t is now fully Il quarter of a century
since II merciful dispensation of Provi-
dence so clouded the Empress Car
lotta's mind that she was spared a sim
gle pang of grief when her royal hus-
band was slaughtered in Mexico.
For nearly Il generation the widow
of the unfortunate MaXimiiau has re-
manned in ignorance of his fate. But
slowly and by almost imperceptible
degrees. her mind has become clari-
fled, and she is once more in the en-
joyment of her faculties. Looking
backward through the long years of
darkness, that sad Mexican business in
which she played the part of Il heroine
seems to her nearly 4 dream. 1t is
well that it is so. Carlotta is not an
old woman. She is hardly fortv-fivc
and something in her future may yet
compensate her for her bitter past.
But the same day that her recovery
ligence that Gen. Miguel Lopez had
been bitten by Il mad dog and was
under .he Pastcur treatment
This Lopez was the trusted officer
who betrayed M;tXimilian to his blood
lnlfStE encGnleS-thc wretch whose
evil work caused Carlotta's insanity
After living all these long years des-
pissed by even his own countrymen,
and scorned by his wife for his treason,
he has perhaps met his doom.
What fate would be more fitting for
this false friend, who sold his bene-
factor? 1t is hard to believe that he
will be cured. He will snap and snarl
and foam at the mouth like rabid
hound. He will rave in his paroxysms
of maniacal frenzy. He will tear his
flesh III his mad commissions and die
like Il wild beast.
Time brings its revenges. As the
traitor Lopez sinks out of sight in the
lurid shadows now descending upon
him, his victim Carlotta comes once
more into the light of day, serenely
beautiful, once more herself the most
charming woman that has worn a
crown since Eugene in her happiest
days. DiSsolving vicws-lights and
shadows-they make up life!-Atia1sta

A Woman's Fight with an Eagle.

A Mexican planter who recently ar
rived i'll this city from Vera Cruz told
Yesterday story of fight between
an eagle and woman III which the

The mother rushed te save her child,
when the great bird turned on her aud
with lis wings and beak threw her to
the ground and fractured her skull.
Then it seized the child again and was
trying to rise with it into the air, when
the father came up aud shot the eagle.
The mother died. The name of tEe

Very Improbable.

'1n early days y remarked Mr.. Bar
nard recently, IAN old fellow named
Bennett came to Butte County from
Kentucky, and when | was boy | often
heard him tell with all carnestness a
story that he believed to be true. He
said that when a young man he lived
III Virginia, and as stores were scarce
it was customary for farmers to cut
scythe handles from the woods. They
would select very crooked saplug
and trim it up to suit their purpose.
By some misfortune he broke scythe
handle and went in search of a new
one. Al last he found little weakly
tree that was crooked and in a few
minutes had cut it down and trimmed
it up. When trimmed it was so crook
ed that it refused to lie still, and be-
gan to roll end over end. Bennett tried
to stop it, but it eluded him and passed
out of sight. Twenty years later he
emigrated to Kentucky, and while out
in the woods one day he heard pc
culiar noise in the underbrush near
him. ffoing in the direction from
which it came he discovered the scythe
handle, worn down to one-fourth its
original size. still rolling. It had
crossed the Allegheny Mountains and
was on its way toward the Mississippi
River. The old man protested till
the day of his death that the story was
absolutely true. aud would grow an
CRY if any one doubted it. "-San Fra1s-

doesn't simply pa!liate = it

You get it for SO cents, from

But perhaps you won't be-

you'll get $500. It's a plain

of DIR. Sage's Remedy will
pay you that amount if they

AMERICAN NUMISMATlc MYTH.
Claim that the Famous Dollar of 1904
Never Had Legal Existence.
Col. Snowden. in his excellent history

Col. Snowden. in his excellent history
of the mint, says nothing of any 1904
| dollar. saws the illustrated .4nlerican.
| 1t seems pretty safe TO assume that
there never was any dollar OF that
year and that the dollars exhibited by
collectors are what are known as re-
strikes. MANY collectors know that
| their specimens are not genuine. but
they allow their more ignorant friends
to believe that they are.
The late John r. Raymond was led
| to purchase an 1904 dollar in Chicago.
He paid $500 for it. When his collec-
ton was sold it brought $500, but
would not have brought that but for
| its association with the famous actor.
1T is my belief said a representa-
| tive of a stamp and coin company of
| New York TO the Illustrated Anaerican,
| that there never was any 1904 dollar.
That dies were cut in that year similar
in all respects. save the date, to the
dies of 1903 is certain. 1t is also cer-
tain that these dies were destroyed in
! 1869, but no dollars or half-dolars were
issued in that year, nor were they issued
at any time by governmental author
ity. The wonderful stories that have
been told about the coinage of the 1904
dollar in the year of their dates are old
wives fables"
Have you ever come across any
1904 dollars?n
'Once in awhile such dollar is Of
fered to us, but it has invariably turned
out to be an imposition. The last
figaro of the dates 1901, or 1892 or
1903 has been cut out and a four SUBJ
stituted. Often this is done so skill
fully as to deceive even experts. A
ease in point happened not very long
ago. Oar representative in London
cabIed TO us that an 1901 dollar had
been offered to him there. 1t had been
tested ut the mint in London and they
believed it to be genuine. We cabled
back that we would pay t4Q for it,
provided it might be returned in case
it did not stand the examination we
proposed to submit it to. When the
dollar arrived we found, as we expect
ed. that the dollar had been tampered
with"
DO YOU believe that any of the dol
lars were ever coiued?"
Possibly. but only rs restrikes.
Some employees of the mint may have
got hold of the dies and struck a few
specimens. These specimens may have
got abroad, There are thirteen col
leclors who claim to have the genuine
1904 dollar in their possession. One
of them brought 81 0O0 at auction. 1t
is not likely that it would ever bring
that sum again. AS l have never had
these coins submitted to me for inspec-
ton of course | can not pass upon
their genuinenesS, but it is quite pos
sible they may be restrikes from the
original dies. f"

STORY OF THE HEATHEN CHiNeE."
Californian Reads Between the Lines
and Gives Some Interesting Facts.

Ever hear the application of Bret
Harte's Heather Chinee'?" asked Capt
j. L. Smith of San Francisco. There S
a story behind it that | don't believe
one Easterner in thousand knows,
although it's pretty well understood on
the coast. Good poem III itself, of
course, but its instantaneous hit in the
West was due TO The story between the
lines.
You remember the tale, of course
how Chinaman was being done up in
a euchre game until he got onto the
angle, so to speak. and began to hold
cards on the pair. And 'hen:
~ looked at Nyc
Al Nyc looked at me
And lie said with Si4h:
Can those things be?
We're ruined by Chinese cheap labor"
And we fell oa that hcalhcn Chince.
Now let me give YOU the story.
When the famous Six Companies of
San Francisco began importing China
men they went to manufacturers and
offered to sell their labor. They'd
work ten. twelve, fifteen hours day
ior about 50 cents day.
"Well, that was too good thing for
the manufacturers 10 overlook. They
were paving So and 81 day for white
labor and here was Il chance for them
to increase their profits by decreasing
their expenses. They made arrange
menls with the Six Companies and be-
gan putting Cinnamon into their facto-
ries. The Cinnamon were really
farmed out like slaves, being entirely
in the power of the Six Companies.
There was no cry Of Chinese cheap
labor then except from few workmen.
The manufacturers were satisfied; they
had the best of it,
The Cinnamon were quick to learn
and soon knew every detail of the
manufacture of cigars, bo9ts, shoes etc.
Then they held tic winning hand and
began to play it. They had learned
the trade and began to set up foI them
selves. They drew out OF the white
mems employ. They lived in hunks in
their factories and worked more hours
a day than Il white man could and live
They began beating their former en-
ployers at their own game. And then
well. then i looked at Nye aud Nye
looked at me- etc
