A sPECULAT0R OF NERVE
The Long Chances in Which Suicide Evans
Took Great Delight

The Long Chances in Which Suicide Evans
Took Great Delight
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.I
'fNervy' Evans. who committed snicide
up in New Hampshire last week, well de-
served his name. He took longer chances
than any man who ever played the stock
market. and came out on top as often as he
got the worst end of it. IF stock was
being beared, "Nervy" made 1t his particu-
lar game, and the harder the crowd pounded
it the better he seemed to like 1t. He had
no confidence in the manipulations of q
stock by the big fellows, and always dis
counted their efforts to make it respond to
their assaults. He would just as soon 60
up against Gould as anybody else. and when
he lost by it would remark, philanthropic-
ally, that he had learned something, any
way.
When "Napoleon" Ives started out to
buy the Baltimore and Ohio, with wind as
security, "Nervy" thought it a great
scheme and put up $25, 900 to help the thing
along. Then he began to bull Baltimore
and Ohio, and during the stimulating effect
of the bluff made by Ives and the others in
the deal he made big pile of money.
When the Baltimore and Ohio scheme fell
through, "Nervy" got his SIS, 900 back and
was in a good many deals of this kind, and
II a man had long-chance scheme he first
went to "Nervy" with it. If "Nervy"
wouldn't take hold nobody else would. His
suicide was surprise because he was usually
genial and Gght-hearted His schemes
robbed him of his reason and he took the
easiest way out.

HOW THEY GOT A::PREACHER
The Business-Lik Methods Of Congrega-

The Business-Like Methods OF q Congrega-
ton In Illinois.
St. Louis Giobe-Democrat.l
In one of the fourishing Illinois towns
between here and Chicago, there is a con-
gregation that, year or two back, lost its
pastor. OF course the people wanted
another as soon as they could get one, but
they were little particular about the man,
and no end of discussion ensued as to what
kind OF preacher they really wanted. After
they had talked about the matter till they
we're tired of the subject, they turned the
whole business over to q prominent men,
Der, q deacon or elder, or whatever they
called him, and told him to look round and
get preacher.
He was q good business man; and went
about the job in a thoroughly characteristic
fashion. He wrote to Chicago to the editor
of church paper there to send him the
names and address of clergymen who would
probably suit, and soon received half q
dozen. Then he sat down and wrote to q
prominent commercial agency, forwarding
the list of names, telling what he wanted,
and directed that the record Of the men be
looked up and sent to him. In course Of
time he received an answer, giving per
sonal descriptions of each one, telling where
each served last and how the people liked
him, what salaries he had received, what
kind of sermons he preached, what sort Of
pastor he was, and in what line Of church
work he excelled. From the data thus
furnished he picked out a likely man, cor
responded with him, and finally secured bis
services. do not suppose the preacher
ever found out how he came to be selected.
but he is giving satisfaction, and what more
could be expected

A CITY OF PIE EATERS

Bostonians Have Followed the Customs OF
Their Ancestors in One Particular.
New England has often been referred to
- the pie-eating district of the country,
says George R. Bliss, restaurateur, of Bos-
ton, in the st. Louis Globe Democrat re-
member that Emerson was quoted once As
having asked the question: "What was pie
made for, if it wasn't to eat?" There never
has been any other sect ion Of the country
where pie was said to have been SO univers-
ally and extensively consumed as part of
the early morning meal as New England,
although it is reported now that New York
is one of the greatest pie and cake-eating
localities. As matter of fact, New Eng
land not only deserves all that has been
said about her capacity for pie, but it is
generally known that the consumption of
pie is greatly on the increase there, and in
Boston the pie-eaters are multiplying very
rapidly.
There is one man on Washington street,
right in the midst of half dozen big res
taurants with brisk trades, who has made q
barrel of money out of the pie and cake in
dustry only, and in there every day ihere
are thousand pies eaten in the two or
three hours between 10 o'clock in the morn
ing and 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Just
think of.itl A thousand pies means about
1000 pie-eaters, and this estimate is con-
servative. There are hundreds of men who
occupy good positions down in the COM
mercial and financial districts of the city
who 60 to this place every day for the

piece of pie, and they are all healthy and

for generations to come. The governmental
Offices occupy the best of them.
The United States steamer, the Pints,
doing duty in these waters, is at anchor
here the greater part Of the time, and has
about 30 marines ON board. The City ol
Topeka saluted her with q charge of two
pounds and eight ounces. Two seal poach-
ers, one considerably disabled, which were
| captured this season, are also anchored in
| Sitka Bay.
| The most interesting Greek Church in the
New World is the one here. Outside of
| Alaska there are but two in the United
States, one of which is at San Francisco.
The Russian Government is expending about
$65, 900 per annum to support the church in
| Alaska, and its lobbyists are in Washing
ton now working for an appropriation, on
the plea of the education and civilizing
work ,ne by it. 1t is hardly likely that
they will be successful. Salvation in this
Greek Church depends upon baptism, and
the money paid to its support. The charges
for baptism are from s5 up. In one church
of which the writer has knowledge MEM
bers are ticketed to heaven at death. That
is, paper certifying to his baptism and
financial subscription in support of the
church, addressed to st. Peter, is placed in
the hand of each corpse, and buried
with him, the presentation of which
is supposed to admit him to
heaven. This practice originally prevailed
at Sitka, but was so ridiculous that it has
fallen into desuetude. During the Russian
days theological seminary was maintained
at Sitka, and many of the priests officiating
in the Territory to-day were trained in it,
but long since it was removed to Kam-
chatka
THEY HAVE SOUVENIR SPOONS.
The souvenir spoon craze is taken advan-
tage of in Alaska, and excellent specimens,
attesting the skill Of the natives, who ham,
mer them out of pieces Of silver money, are
to be had in Sitka The handle usually
represents the "totem pole," which has
been so often described. The trade in them
with tourists is so considerable, however,
that Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka has
associated with him q Sitka merchant,
Mr.. E DeGrof, in their manufacture and
sale.
The Protestant population of Sitka wor-
ship in the Presbyterian Church. The most
extensive mission in the Territory is located
here, and Is under the control of the Presby-
terian Board of Home Missionss About 40
boys and girls, gathered from all sections of

to Beersheba, SO to speak, are being in
structed in the trades and occupations neces-
sary to civilized living in the industrial
training school connected with the mis-
sion.
The only museum Of Alaskan curiosities
which we saw is also owned by the Mission.
Its collection from the Eskimos of Kotzebul
Sound, on the Artio Ocean, presented by
Rev. Sheldon jackson, D. D., is particularly
rich. This collection was made by Dr.
jackson in 1890, when visiting that region

enough, although some place them u by IL
feet apart, giving 1000 trees to ten acres,
but when the trees come to an age of u
years they touch each other at the latter dis
tance. The naval oranges bring the best
prices, ana single tree when IL years old

tion shows a tree of this variety which now
bears from IL to IA boxes year. 1t was
photographed, as you see, near Riverside.
Orange seeds are planted in beds and
when 1 year old are transplanted At q
years old they are sold at from IS cents to
Il SO ac according to size, symmetry and
variety. One of these trees will bear in
three years, and at five years of careful cul-
tivating and irrigating will yield two boxes
of oranges to the tree. Naval oranges are
worth from 81 to So per box; Mediterranean
sweets from 81 so to 50 50 per box, and
about 200 oranges, medium size, fill box
STORE THE FRUIT ON THE TREES
Oranges can be left on the trees for
months after they are ripe and can be picked
when the market price warrants And 1t is
common to see the trees loaded with fruit
of last year and the new blossoms of this
year at the same time The orange crop is
sold in the grove to buyers from Eastern
markets, at so much per box, the purchasers
providing the boxes and packing and ship
ping at their own expense, giving their
checks for the amount before the crop
leaves the ground
One can readily see the enormous income
from, say, 100 acres in naval oranges. Sell
ing at So per box, 75 trees to the acre, 13
years old, at 10 boxes to the tree, would be
$3.50 0 per annum: and 10 acres at the
same yield would bring 500, 500 per annum.
Trees we're bought mostly in Florida last

CHAPTER VII.

1t was indeed true that King Clarimond
had abruptly received tidings which told
him his mother had just crossed the saltra-
Wan frontier. Between the Princess and
himself relations of most frosty character
had existed for several years. Few people,
however. remained long on good terms with
the Princess Her disposition was now
merely overbearing; it brimmed with all the
worst bigotries of the Dark Ages, and to
say of her that she believed In the "divine
rights OF kings" would have been mildly to
express her mental savagery. The course
of her son and only child, Clarimond, had
almost maddened her since his accession to
the throne. She had detested his father,
her first husband, the Archduke Conrad,
and in Clarimond she saw the paternal traits
accentuated, made more hideous, more
nauseating. Conrad had presumed in her
presence to air his loathsoms republican

A NEW USE FOR ALUMINIUM.
Pat. Gilmore This ks Il Ma Be Of valu,
in Making Musical Instruments.

UllnOrc II MA DC OF t8luo
in Making Musical Instruments.
Perfection in musical instruments is gen.
orally the result of skilled workmanship,
and it is comparatively rare that new ma
terial is discovered that will improve the
tone of an instrument, says P. S. Gilmore
in the ST. Louis Globe Democrat Since, how
ever, aluminium has been found suitable for
almost every purpose and an improvement
on every known metal for EACH experiments
have been made by more than one thought
ful inventor with a view to ascertain
whether it could not be used to advantage
in making music creating instruments.
That these experiments have been crowned
with success is now reported in inside cir
cles, and in both pianos and violins the new
metal has been used to alleged advantage.
In the piano it certainly does produce salts
factory results, with every possibility of
lasting qualities, and perhaps in the violin
it may by the same, though to man who
looks upon a violin with something of
sacred glance this appears doubtful. Still,
the inventors claim is such a strong and
evidently genuine one that it cannot be iy-
nored by even the most skepticaL

eaten prejudices, and shall write her reg
ulariy, once . month, letters full of the
most duteous 6lial sentiments
This resolve Clarimond faithfully carried
out. The Princess, meanwhile, though she
had retreated, had not given up her battle.
She was secretly agitated By dread that
her son would make some terrible demo-
cratic marriage, for he had already shocked
her by asserting that he thought morganatic
unions revolving and even criminal, and
there was no written law in his little realm
against sovereign wedding whomsoever he
chose.
Repeatedly, of late months, the Princess
had written her intention of coming to see
the new palace. Her son had given courte-
Gus assent to this arrangement, while in
wardly groaning at the parade of ceremony
and punctilio which it would be certain to
engender. Now, at last, after many false
alarms, telegram had abruptly come to
him, stating that she had reached small
town about three miles distant, and there
awaited his presence. 1t was then little
aiser nightfall The King, who was just

ONE OF THE RARE METALS.
II L Found to Be Useful in the Manufacture
Of Heavy GunA

fOuuO 20 DC U6oIul In the m8nu13CIuTo
of Heavy GunA
Chambers Journal.1
Those withonly an elementary knowledge
of chemistry are aware that there are more
than 40 recognized metals. A large number
of these can only be regarded as curiosities
of the laboratory, for there is no specific
use for them; indeed, they are found in ma
ure in such minute quantities that some of
hem are far more precious than gold.
Among these rare metals is wolfram or
tungsten, use for which has been found
since guns of enormous calibre came into
vogue.
1t is unfortunately a matter of common
knowledge that these guns are liable to
fracture; but it has been found that by
adding very small percentage of tungsten
to the fine steel of which the inner lining is
made, an elasticity is conferred upon the
metal which it did not possess before, so
that 1t will bear expansion and contraction
under heavy charges without giving way
Tungsten is white metal of very brittle
quality, and its specific gravity is only q
trifie less than that of gold.
