sometimes Lot booming seems to be
pretty well over, and now that the law
has gone into effect reserving 100 acres
of land in each county for agricultural
purposes there is nothing in the way of
prosperity.
Pueblo, Colo, is going to have a min
eral palace that will certainly astouish
and delight everybody with its luxuri-
ance, taste and beauty. Abundance of
money has been produced, and the build
ing will be open by the middle of June
1t will be the finest exhibit of minerals,
no doubt, in the world, and the building
will be worth going hundreds of miles
to see The dome is said to be the sec
ond only in size in this country, and the
decorations are most beautiful. The
arts and sciences will also have part of
the building. The Gold King, the Sill
yer Queen and King Coal will be beauti-
full and costly figures of great size, and
will be in session during the entire time
The palace is Egyptian in style, with
American door handles.
Among other minerals TO be exhibited
will be native gold, silver, platinum,
mercury, copper, magnetic ore, chronic
iron, celibate, pyrites, galena, nickel ore,
quartz, feldspar, calamus, mica, beryl,

also be pilasters of white and colored

the great heart beat of industry and life

The air of the shop is still and depress
1ng. Where once the melody of the
anvil rang out, and the soft and seduc-
tive odor of the scorched foot of the
bronco filed the glad morning, now all
IS hushed. The red glow has died away
IN the giant heart Of the forge. The
smithy washed his great big honest
hands in the water trough, and pulling
down his sleeves to conceal the bright
red beard upon his massive forear1ns he
went away. Rust and ruin are giving
place TO the activity and crush and
hurry of trade.

The Silent Dane.

In his early manhood Moltke was
called "The Silent Dane," and later he
was popularity known as "The Great
Taciturn;" yet he could speak seven Ian
guages fuently. Although one of the
worlds prcfoundest and sternest SOL
diers he was one of the most modest and
affectionate of men. Occasionally one
might see him in Berlin driving in
plain cab, or sauntering along princi-
pal street looking in at the shop win
dows, but few recognized him. He was
as regular as the sun in his daily tasks,
and even in the lighter employments of
his long life he was ever painstaking
and methodical. Out of these traits
grew, withal, his fine literary ability
that, besides his published letters, pro-
duced several valuable military histo-
ries.
The crowning honor of his life was the
way Germany celebrated the completion
of his ninetieth year. From the Baltic
to the Alps, from the Vosges to the Wis
tula every household Joined in the great
jubilee, hung out the national colors and
ikenesses of Moltke in flags and torches.
Berlin was decorated and enthusiastic as
it had never before been for any private
citizen. Germans throughout the world
set apart Oct. 26, 1890, as fete day for
the vaterland, and day of praises and
congratulations for her greatest soldier.
The grim old field marshal was taci-
turn almost by necessity, being nearly
smothered by honors and rich presents;
but when the city fathers of Berlin sent
him their greetings, accompanied by the
sum of $4,000 marks as charity fund
for the relief of the aged and infrm, he
replied, "Gentlemen, say to your coun-
Gil that this gift touches my heart, and
that of the many rich presents I have re-
ceived today this is the most valued"

How a Man Traded His wife.

Afew months ago man named Zim-
norman arrived in Darlington, this coun.
ty, with herd of ponies. Among those
who looked longingly on particular
pony was George Davis, young married
man of that place. Davis had no money.
but he possessed wife whom he offered
to exchange for the animal and a money
consideration. The wife was consulted,
and after few days dickering thinner
man agreed to give the pony and deed
to IA acres of land in Montana in ex-
change for the woman. The papers were
drawn up, and Zimmerman took the
woman and Davis the pony.
The cowboy and Mrs. Davis went west,
but she soon repented and asked to be
taken back to her first love. By this
time Davis discovered that Zimmerman
did not own foot of land in Montana
or any other place. The innocent look
ing pony turned out to be everything
that was bad, and when Mrs. Davis ar
rived home she was gladly welcomed by
her rightful husband. Falls (Pa. }

The powers that be in Washington are
very much put out about United States
District Judge Ross's dismissal of the
libel against the schooner Robert and
Minnie. They say that the case against
her was stronger than that against the
Itata, and that they therefore feel that
this decision has placed the government
in an awkward position. 1t is great
pity that the bunglers at Washington
have to submit admiralty questions to
the courts. If they could override the
law like Balmaceda or ignore it
like the czar of Russia, they would have
no difficulty in handling these knotty
questions. Wonder if the administration
thought that Judge Ross ought to make
his decisions in these cases conform to
the views of the government, regardless
of the law, like the English judges used
to do in Jeffreys' time? Now that Dis
trict Attorney Cole has obeyed the IN
structions of the United States attorney
general and filed libel against the Itata
for violation of the neutrality laws, etc.,
we shall see what there is in the case.
The best lawyers are of the opinion that
no such violation can be sustained, as
the Itata was mere transport ship, and
was not armed here to wage war against
a friendly power.

The Chino beet sugar factory Will
start up in few days, and its opera
tions will afford lively testimony as to
the efficiency of the Mckinley bin as a
promoter of new industries.-lS. F.
Chronicle.
The above is sample specimen of the
way the war-tax papers try to impose
upon the public. The Mckinley bill
will be entitled to no credit whatever
for the success of the Chino beet sugar
factory, or any other beet sugar factory.
The duty that was placed on foreign
sugar before the passage of that bill in
sured the beet sugar manufacturers of a
price that would pay. That duty has
been merely changed to bounty by the
Mckinley measure, so that the beet su-
gar interests stand on the same level
they occupied before sugar was made
free OF duty. The gall of the war-tax
papers is only equalled by their mendac-
ity.

A Woman with Forty-three Husbands.

Woman with Forty-three Husbands.
A young Englishwoman, named Eve
line Leal, who is said to be exceedingly
handsome, has for a second time fallen
into the hands of the French police for
practicing what may be called the mar
riage trick. When in 1887 she was first
arrested she was at her thirteenth mar
riage, but today she is in the possession
of no fewer than forty-three husbands.
Her method of procedure was as simple
as it-was ingenious.
She put advertisements into the jour
nails stating that widow possessing a
fortune of 100000 francs wished to
marry a gentleman in good circum-
stances belonging to the nobility or to
the high commercial class. Replies were
to be sent to a postofice. Her accom-
plice, who occupied the position of COM
panion, seems to have had the important
duty of choosing the victims from among
the applicants.-London Tit-Bits.

THE San Francisco Chronicle is indig-
nant that Los Angeles county does not
hire detectives at its own expense to
put stop to the assumed practice that
prevails of rounding up coyotes in Ari-
zona and then passing off their scalps
upon the officials here as belonging to
animals killed in California. We do not
know that this is being done; but it is
very possible that it is. The law is 80
absurdly framed that q man can take his
scalps before any one authorized to ad-
minister an oath and the county clerk is
required to issue a certificate thereon to
the state controller. What is to hinder
any one from bringing in nscalps from Ari-
xona, and how could they be run down?
A man has a grip-sack full OF scalps,
taken in Arizona, jumps off the train at
Pomona, goes before a justice OF the
peace, produces the scalps, and swears
they were taken from animals killed in
San Antonio canon. The justice OF the

ENCHANTING SANTA MONICA BAY.


In the far-away ages, the "long ago."
The legend SAYS, we suppose lis SO,
To the shores of Santa Monica bay
Legions of angels found their way
From planet TO planet, pole to pole,
On spirit wings, with eager soul
They had sought a beautiful home,
The rarest spot under heavens dome,
And found it, at Santa Monica bay.
On the worlds, o'er which they had sped
AS flies our thoughts, so they had fed
They had not seen such beauteous array
OF velvet turf and glittering spray,
OF beautiful mountains, majestic, grand,
And oceans of flowers that decked the land,
OF canyons wide, deep and cool;
The loveliest spot on 'God's footstool
Thought they, is lovely Santa Monica bay.
Twas here they found all they required,
An army of poets were since inspired,
To write of the wondrous, smiling. bay,
Selected by that angelic array,
AS home, where they would ever reside,
And frequently, now. by flowing tide.
We hear the low sweet gentle summer
AS cool breezes sweep DER terra firma
OF angel voices at santa Monica Bay
And now mankind has invaded their home,
To revel in billows white with foam,
In gilded palace cars DER iron way
They glide-as shooting stars'-each day,
And as they gaze at the kilvery sheen
On waves of our lovely bay-I ween
They fancy themselves in fairy land,
Rather than on the golden strand
OF beautiful Santa Monica Bay.

cret of the heavy calls for gold from the
United States. Notwithstanding the
export of seventy millions in gold from
this country to Europe, the conditions
of business in the United States con-
tinue good. The prospects for crops
here never looked better. We have
long ago liquidated our Indebtedness to
the outside world. The principal reason
for the heavy shipments of gold abroad
is because the distrust of European
business houses is so great that bills
drawn on them are no longer negotiable,
and thus coin has to be used. This will
ultimately be good for the United
States. The Messrs. Clews & Co. epit-
omize the situation as follows:
OF course Europe has to provide
against the effects of coming general
deficient harvests, with the natural bad
results to internal trade; and the con-
trolling bankers may deem it prudent to
discourage general imports so as to keep
down the exports of gold that must be
made in purchase of the unusual Ameri-
can surplus of breadstuffs. Such pur-
pose implies bad dilemma; but it's
significance to the United States is far
less serious than this to Europe. To the
rest of the world, it means depression
and sacrifice; to us, it signifies the pur-
chase of our imports at low prices and
the sale OF our food exports at high
prices.
This is undoubtedly correct state
ment of the exceptional urgency for
good from Europe. AS to the possibility
of any lively stock movements in this
country under the circumstances of de-
preston and disquiet in Europe the
Messrs. Clews & Co. add:
In view, then, of the foreign ex-
changes, of the still unbroken promise
of an abundant harvest, and of the
unexpected abundance of money at this
center after parting with seventy mill
ions of specie, we do not see why strong
combinations of men should find much
difficulty in impartlng a profitable
"bull'' impulse to Wall street later on
if they desire to do so. For the moment,
however, the "bears" have powerful
hand, which calls for cautious buying,
and on the raids only.
With all the young Emperor Will
Jams glib talk of the renewal of the
dreibund meaning peace there would
seem to be, to man up tree, an un-
mistakable sniff of war in the air. Hence
