DENVER, Col, Aug. 19.-L. c. Eraut-
hOff, president of the Western Baseball
association, and John w. Speass presi-
dent of the Kansas City club, came into
town last night. They have been
prowling around the Yellowstone
region and have met an adventure.
To reach some magnificent scenery it
was necessary to undertake a seventy
five mile stage coach ride. This IS
what BIr. Krauthoff says about it:
I'VE had two or three day journey
before us and were humping along
nicely over the road. We went close to
the edges OF some pretty steep preci-
pices, but we didn't mind that, for we
were brave men, or thought we were.
suddenly the stage stopped with q
Jerk that piled US in heap in one cor
ner of the vehicle among the luggage,
but by the time we had extracted our
selves, III the meantime expressing our
opinion on the pass in general and the
stage in particular, n couple OF angry
looking seven-shooters were at the win
dows of the coach aud we were politely
asked by two masked men to hand over
any valuabies, such as money, watches
and jcwelry, that we might have about
our persons,
'FThe fellows were SO polite and gen
tlemsnly about the Vvisots affair that
we did not like to argue with them or
refuse their request SO VIC passed over
what little change we had, amounting
in all to S163 in cash besides a watch or
two and some little trinkets. After
thanking us for our kindness and CON
sideration the men turned the coach
around and told as the best thing we
could do would he to turn back sor the
railroad station at once We started
immediately and upon reaching a tele-
graph Office. had to send home for
money to continue our journey"

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 17.-SecretaEy
Foster has made the following state

bonds have been extended and Hpplica-
tions have been received covering about
So 500, 600 more. What the final outcome
may be, of course, 1 do not know. 1t is
probable, however, that considerable
portion of the balance (S3O, OOG, ,OO9)
will be extended 1t will be no hard
ship to the treasury to be called upon
to pay those not extended. In fact such
payment will add, by the amount paid,
to the money in the hands of the
people. By the extension we succeeded
in preventing a decrease of national
bank notes, and in fact have so far in
creased the circulation nearly s., OOG,-
600. The outlook is that considerable
more of an increase will be effected.
Il am not finding any fault with the
action of the banks as might be infer
red from recent publications / saw
Mr.. Sherman at Mansfield always
find it profitable to discuss money mat
ters with him don't recall
single disagreement between us
The statement teiegraphed from
Mansfield regarding our late con-
ference is a pure romance While
there is less reserve in the treasury
than for many years past it is in a COM
Portable condition. Because of less
money in the treasury it follows that
more money than ever before is In the
hands of the people, thus facilitat-
ing the conduct of the business Of
the country. We ara on a gold
basis, and there is no occasion
for alarm as to the ability OF
the government to maintain this con-
dition. The secretary has ample power
to maintain or increase the present re-
serve of gold may add that Mr.. Sher-
man fully agrees with me regarding
the legal power of the secretary as
above expressed. don't see any Occa-
sion for the exercise OF this power, but

a woman can be womanly under
the most trying situations OF life.
There Is absolutely no necessity for
her to be otherwise In any branch OF

APretty House Dre.s.

Among the prettiest and most artis-
tic OF house dresses Is one which Is
likely TO drive the tea-gown out OF the
affections OF ladies OF taste.
This may be made OF India silk,
crepe de Chine. vailing, cashmere

any OF the ordinary lightweight fab

The model which will give an idea
OF the style is made with round, full
skirt OF wash-silk. A deep ilounce OF
lace finishes the hem OF the skirt.
which Is but little more than walking

10 the skirt. Over the blouse
Is worn jacket OF light

One of the remarkable features In
German politics Is the ascendency
which the Empress Frederick has nc
quired over her son. That she was
her husbands guide and counselor is
well known, and between the two
there subsisted deep attachment as
well as the deepest respect This was
the reason that Bismarck dreaded
her and tried 10 drive her into retire
meut. She WIS the only person that
he feared, for he understood her. The
effort 20 separate her from her son
and make the son the tool OF Bismarck
failed OF success, and the gem
eral belief Is that the empress
mother has succeeded TO Bsmarck's
nsccndency, and that her son largely
depends on her for counsel and guild
ance. As n politician she is consid-
erod far superior TO her mother,
Queen Victoria, whose good qualities
are rather negative. while the En-
press Frederick is positive and origi-
nal. Ii Is a saying in Berlin that her
presence there Is the best security
that the peace OF Europe will not be
broken. IL Is also said that Queen
Victoria herself relies In n far greater
degree upon the advice OF her daugh-
ter than upon that OF the Prince OF
Wales The fact that the kaiser re-
quested his mothers return Is believed
10 indicate that he meditates some
serious movement in his domestic or
foreign policy.-West Shore.
