a GIRLS MISTAKE.
The Clever Ruse by which She Robbed q
Rich Californian.

"During the month of September
1889, was employed on confidential
case in st. Paul, Mimi, said Detective
Ainge, of the New York, Ontario &
Western railway service to Utica Her.
aid reporter, "and was one day standing
In the Union depot watching for sus-
pected party, when train came in weH
filed with passengers. Among those
who alightcd was wealthy gentleman
from the Pacific coast. just as he
stepped on the platform handsome
young woman, apparently about TWEEN
ty years of age, rushed into his arms
saying: oh, papa, papa, I'm SO glad
you've come and with that she began
to shower the bewildered Californian
with kisses. Then she gave short,
frightened scream. rushed through the
crowd, entered hack, and was driven
away. We all supposed it was case of
mistaken identity. The Californian en-
joyed the mistake.
"He came to me and the railway Of
fcer, who were talking about some
business, and said it was good joke,
and he guessed we had better take some-
thing on the strength of it, rs the kisses
were worth considerable We proceed
ed to the hotel, and he took his smile
while the officer and myself took
cigar. When the Westerner came TO pay
for the wine and cigars he discovered
that his pocket-book and two hundred
dollars were gone. Further search de-
veloped the fact that his fine gold watch
and diamond shirt stud were also miss
ing. The Californian could not imag-
inc where or when the things had been
taken. examined his shirt front and
discovered teeth marks where the dia-
mond stud had been. There was no
doubt that the handsome girl who gave
him such an affectionate embrace had
done the work. The Californian wns
mad, and called the policeman a dolt.
After telling him that I was a detcc-
tive, he asked me to take charge of the
case and find the girl and he would pay
me for services and all expenses. After
placing my special agent on the case
was then engaged with I proceeded to
Minneapolis, where located the wom-
an at one of the hotels. She had regis
tered from Milwaukee. When arrest
ed her she told me her history. She had
been member of a wealthy family in
Colorado. told her that if she would
return the money, watch and diamond
stud the Californian would likely not
prosecute her. l wired him and he an
swered the telegram in person. The
woman gave him all the plunder, and
then she told him her story of misfort-
une. He was much impressed by the
recital, and saw him with her at the
theater about week afterward."

The BaCpipe In Asia.

The bagpipe is almost universal
throughout Asia, though at present not
so much in use as it seems to have been
in former ages. 1t is used among the
Chinese, musicians, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat, and is met with in
Persia, where it appears to have been
more general in former ages than at
present There is also a Hindoo bag
pipe, and in Egypt it was used to some
extent, but is now rarely met with. In
Italy it is common. 1t is said that the
Italian peasant believes that it is the
best beloved music of the Virgin Mary,
also that it is the instrument upon
which the shepherds expressed their
JOY when they visited the Saviour.
When the italian peasant visits Rome
on the anniversary of the birth of our
Saviour he always carries his bagpipes
with him. The Romans are said to have
been acquainted with this instrument.
and most likely the Greeks also. In
Scotland it is the national instrument,
but even there its use is dying out. Dag
pipes are known in Scotland, England,
Ireland, Germany, Spain. Italy, North
Africa lat least find name for them
IN Tuarick vocabulary and in Syria.
Probably many other ccuntries have
them.

An Indian Romance.

Rain-in-the-Face is another smart
and exceedingly dangerous Sioux war
rior. His daughter had romance,
says the Denver Republican, that makes
q rather interesting story. She fell in
love with Lieutenant in the army once,
when the Lieutenant visited the Sioux
reservation. Later he was transferred
to Fort Laramie. Not long after that q
band of Sioux obtained hunting pass
and roamed over into Wyoming. The
Indian maiden persisted in accompany
ing them. She saw the Lieutenant, and
upon learning that he was married she
fell upon the ground moaning and tear
ing her black tresses. The young squaw
refused to return with the Indians, and
they continued to camp in the vicinity
for several weeks. One day the Indian
girl ended her unhappy life by cutting
her throat with hunting-knife. She
was buried with the usual ceremonies
OF Indian obsequies.

THE SUICIDE BEGGING TRICK.

Latest Ruse Of the Lazy Parisian to Bleed
the Charitable.
An expedient resorted to by an ingen-
ious female swindler in Paris for ex-
torting money has been very successul
Of late. The woman, says the London
Telegraph, provided by nature with
pleasing countenance, and dressed with
care, went from house to house. When
she had presented her card for the
master, or, better still, the mistress of
the house, and gained admittance, she
related, with all the appearance Of
genuine distress, tale Of woe, the ele-
ments Of which were a husband who
had deserted her, family from whom
her marriage had estranged her, and a
pressing need Of e2O or $50 to stave of
dishonor.
In nine cases out of ten the applicant
met with a refusal, whereupon, throw.
ing the right note of despair and des-
perate resolution into her attitude and
voice, she announced her determination
to commit suicide, and, suiting the ac-
ition to the word, drew a bottle labeled
Poison" from her pocket, the contents
of which she began to drink.
This, it seems, in most cases produced
the desired effect. But 1t will probably
not do so any more, for on recent visit
of the kind the interesting female for
got to take away ter bottle Of poison
with her, and on the contents being ex-
amined the deadly draught was found
to be nothing but pure water.

An Absurditx Of Fashion.

The right-hip hop is the newest FASH
ion of the New York promenade, says
the World Of that city. It Is the direct
result Of the idiotic walking-dress fash
ion which turns flock Of handsomely
garbed women loose on filthy streets in
skirts which If allowed to hang as the
modiste made them would sweep the
pavement with at least an inch and q
half OF their costly material To obvi-
vate this silly sweep-up Of the refuse Of
the shopkeepers' brooms the ladies Of the
promenade may be observed in great
numbers resting their right forearm on
their right hip, and with the hand ex-
tended backward holding up the super
abundant skirt The continued pres
sure Of the right arm and the weight OF
the suspended skirt naturally retard the
movement Of that side Of the body and
the right-hip hop Is the result.

THE MALE FLlRT.
Who Is tho More Detestable In a Wou-
ans Estimation?

Who Is tho More Detestable In a Ion-
ans Estimation?
One can not pass through Irritation
man or woman-without lowering
the tone of ones mind, writes Felicia
Holt in the Ladies' Home Journal l
know that seem to thus put mind be-
fore the affections; but in the prosaic
nineteenth centtry hearts seem out of
fashion. Cupid has taken a holiday and
left us to our own devices; he loves an
age when pounds and pence play less
conspicuous part, for love laughs at CAL
culation. So our mental development
becomes our highest consideration, and
1t must suffer in game where only the
sly trickstcr holds the trump card.
Dignity and trifling put each other
out Of countenance, as does the bishop
and the clown; and when man and
woman enter with deliberation into the
unworthy joust of fitting ones attrac-
tions against the other with no other
aim than the qualification of his or her
vanity, then, say, neither party can
come out unscathed, either mentally or
morally.
If one is more detestable than the
other, 1t Is the male hirt; for since Gus
tom has given him the power of making
the advance, he can do the most harm,
particularly should he practice his
cruel arts upon an unsophisticated girl:
she may fall victim to his cruelty.
A man may recover from bitter en-
counter of this sort a sadder and wiser
man; his trust in woman may be terri
bly, shaken, but he does not sucep,6Ss
as does the woman, whose heart, once.
wiled from her keeping, grows weary
of the world.
And, incredible as it may seem, women
are quite as much to blame as men for
the sin of Irritation. For if they con-
denim the sin, they invariably smile upon
the sinner, specially if he is handsome
and attractive.

RIVERS OF GOLD.

Enough Of the Shining Metal to Mako o
Hundred Millionaires.

that are richer in gold deposits than
Feather river, California" said A. M.
Hart, of Sitka, Alaska, to st. Louis
Globe-Democrat man the other day. II
was one Of the first white miners that
visited Forty Mile creek, northern
tributary Of the Youkon river, and dur
ing two seasons there saw enough to
satisfy me that the bed Of that creek
contains enough gold to make one hun
dred millionaires. The gold is found In
bars formed by landslides from the
mountainous banks Of the creek, but
these bars are washed out by the high
water every year, and the gold scat
tered down the creek bed. New bars
are formed the succeeding year, only to
be washed out the next. filed a claim
upon ono of the bars, forty miles
above the mouth Of the creek, and with
rude wooden rocker worked out near

operations and washed my bar away.

out eight ounces Of gold the

barely escaped with my life.
just before the thaw-out in the spring
of 1887 three Swedes belonging to our
camp removed the ice from small SEQ
ton OF the creek and uncovered place
in the bed about fifteen feet square.
Free gold could be seen shining every
where among the gravel, but it was
frozen SO hard that it could not be taken
out with pick or shovel The Swedes
were determined to have the gold, and
they carried wood from a canyon two
miles distant, built fires In the hole, and
as fast as the gravel thawed out they
gathered it up and worked shining
nuggets out They worked the scheme
eight or nine days, and secured nearly
one hundred ounces Of gold from that
little space. High water stopped their
work, but the fact that the creek bed
was fabulously rich was settled beyond
o doubt. Forty Mile creek Is q small,
rocky stream, with semi-mountainous
banks. 1t has been explored about one
hundred miles. The stream can be
easily turned ut several points. and the
company that undertakes the work is
sure to secure a reward Of millions.
The severe cold is the chief obstacle to
mining In that section, and the seasons
rarely exceed ninety days, between May
and September, but during that time
the night is less than two hours dura-
ton, and mining work can be prose-
cuted continuously By company with
. sufficient force OF men.

CAST.lRON BRICKS,
An Ingenious Invention In the Line q
Building Material.

An Ingenious Invention In the Line OF
Building Material.
Most OF the building materials now
In use have been employed with greater
or less skill for thousands Of years.
Since primitive man discovered the
adaptability of stone, wood and burned
bricks composed Of clay and sand for
!house-bnilding, no equally useful build
ing material has been added to the list.
According to the American Furniture
Gazette, a German mechanic has recent
ly patented an invention which has GER
;tainly many advantages over the old
fashioned brick of clay, though use may
not prove it to be in all respects supe-
rior.
It's practical design and ingenuity are
characteristic of the modern tendency
of inventions. 1t is in the form and of
about the size of an ordinary brick, but
is composed of cast-iron and is hollow.
The shell is SO thin that the brick
weighs less thanNone made of clay. A
wall is built of such bricks without the
use of mortar, and no skilled labor is
required in laying them. The upper
and lower sides of the bricks are pro-
vided with grooves and projecting ribs,
which fit into each other easily and
perfectly and form wall of great
strength.
There are also two large circular
openings in the upper side Of each brick,
arranged so as to receive projections on
the lower side Of the brick that is to be
placed above it. One of these projeo-
tions lis hook-shaped, which insures a
solid hold A wall of the bricks is very
quickly put together.
After the wall is built it is covered
with paint. This closes all the cracks,
renders the wall air-tight, and prevents
the bricks from rusting. By the use Of
good paint the wall can be made highly
ornamental. The bricks are very dura-
BILE, and a building made of them is per
haps as nearly fire-proof as possible.
A wall thus constructed can be taken
down or rebuilt as readily as it can be
put up. There is no mortar to be re-
moved, as there is when clay bricks are
used. A house with such walls is cool
in summer and warm in winter, for the
large air spaces prevent the passage Of
heat.
With supply of such bricks man
can put up his own house, and be en-
tirely independent Of brick-layers, NOR
tai-mixers and hod-carriers. If he does
not like his house, he can take it down
and build another with the same mate
rial. which is always as good as new.

WASHINGTON INDIANS.
They Keep Up Their Aboriginal Appea
ance, But Arc Quito Harmless.

They Keep Up Their Aboriginal Appear
anco, But Arc Quito Harmless.
Spokane Falls, Wash, has sprung up
so recently, says West Shore, that some
Of the evidences Of aboriginal glory
still linger in its vicinity. The canyon
of the Spokane river below the city is q
favorite haunt Of the wandering red
skins who are stragglers from some OF
the reservations, and during the salmon
season, which lasts nearly all summe-
there, the clusters Of tepees are q
familiar sight along the banks of the
stream. The Coeur d'Alene reservation
is only twenty miles up the river from
Spokane. The Colville and Moses re-
serves are q considerable greater dis
tance to the northwest. These Indians,
of course, are entirely subdued and are
as harmless as cattle, as they move
quietly about from place to place and
pursue their fishing and hunting In O
modest way between tho dates of re-
ceiving their supplies from the kind
hearted Government.
Harmless as these struggling Indians
are, they often indulge in the luxury Of
painting anddecorating their persons in
true savage style. Gaily decked young
bucks often ride through the streets Of
Spokane Falls on their cayuses, two or
three together, and are objects Of much
curiosity on the part Of newcomers,
but are not noticed by residents of the
city. The old sachems strutting through
the streets arrayed in holiday attire are
objects of no less interest and are a
great deal more ridiculous.
Among the most noted Indians of the
country are Chief Seltise, of the Ceur
d'Alenes, and Chief Joseph, Of the Nez'
Perces. The former is wealthy old
redskin, devoted to prosecuting agricult-
ural operations on the reservation and
bringing his people to knowledge Of
the arts of peace. He Is a genial and
popular old fellow and shrewd BUSH
ness man. Joseph came to fame
his leadership of the Nes'
Perces in the war of 1877. He is now
on the Moses reservation
In Northern Washington. He is in
many ways one of the most rcmarAa-
BILE Indians thet have come in contact
with the whites. He is now q peacea-
BILE and comparatively intelligent old
man. lht

10 the Advocate Publishing Company, Topeka
Kansas:
Because Of my absence, your telegram
OF the 23d did not reach me until this
morning, and pursuant TO my promise oi
the Goth, you have, herewith, the mater
ial portion Of the correspondence referred
TO. Let me add, that we had at our dis
posal fund almost fabulous In amount;
but careful survey Of the field proved
the impossibility Of It's use except at the
peril Of personal liberty. But the suda-
city of the Republican committee with
whom / pursued tentative course for
the purpose Of ascertaining the length to
which 1t was willing to go to injure the
Peoples party, impelled me to tell the
whole truth. There can be no doubt that
the Moberly letter was imposed upon me
by Some of our Republican Schemers for
just such purpose az has now been de-
vel0ped.
To prevent the mutilatlon Of my letter
book, some Of my letters have been hur-
rledly copied therefrom, and, TO save
time, in other cases, the original drafts
are sent.
The Ingalls, letters should be printed
In fac SimiIe, or their authenticity will
be disputed. You can have that done in
Kansas City-probably not in Topeka.
You will please, when done with them,
TO return to me the original.
John James Ingalls,, a man of remark
able ability, has great future before
him; and 1t is my belief that in a line of
effort he has non undertaken, he will be
Of very great service to the people.
The half has not been told as to the
bribery in other states, the sum of $780,
600 being moderate for the expenses Of
successful Senatorial candidates in the
state Of New York, of all of which
needed proof shall be given to the peo-
pie on future occasion.

COPY OF REPLY TO GoRDoN's LETTER OF
OCTOBER 20, 1890.


CAMPv1LLE, N. Y, August27, 1890.
MY DEAR GENERAL GoRDoN:-For
reply to your favor Of August 20, let me
say that the only information / am at
liberty to disclose as to your threatening
farmers of the Alliance, was derived
from the New York press; and that, as
respects allegations Of similar threats
against the Alliance farmers In South
Carolina, the file of the New York Sun,
regarded as one of the official organs of
the Democratic party, supply ample evi-
dence.
The feeling evinced by the non-pro-
ducing residents of your cities and
villages against the sons of the soil,
while struggling for that political ascend
ency and power now grudgingly ac-
corded to them, naturally impelled the
belief that nothing less than some equit-
able federal election law would ensure q
fair election In some of the southern
states 80 long as controlled by the ante
beElum oligarchy who have heretofore
relegated to the rear the plain, working
farmer as so much "poor, white trash"
undeserving of official position, and flt
only to associate with the negroes.
For these, among other reasons, it
seemed the duty of the federal govern
ment, under the letter and spirit of the
constitution framed to ensure it's per-
petuity, to see that every man shall be
permitted, without fear or molestatlon,
to cast his vote and have 1t honestly
counted.
But whenever your Georgia State
farmers Alliance secret order-acting
in some degree under my counsel, and
the other like Alliance of the south, shall
convey to me official information of their
desire with respect to the passage of the
proposed federal election act, their will,
