Interesting Story Of COnstan-
tine Ashargan.
He Spends Two Fortunes of a
Million Each,
And is Now q Clerk at Ten
Dollars a Week.
Could Not stand Prosperity

New YORK, Sept. l.-Constantine
Ashargan, once a millionaire, now a ten
dollar a week clerk, called upon Inter.
prefer Arbety, ex consul to Jerusalem.
at the barge office today. Constantine in
herited 81, 100000 upon the death of his
father, a wealthy manufacturer o Athens,
whose only son he was, and he proceeded
at once to take all the enjoyment he could
out of il. He built a large amphitheatre
in the suburbs of Athens, and. besides
introducing all the sensual %revelrv Of East
ern continental cities, he tried to revive
the games known to his ancestors. His
money went in streams, and one morning
after a weeks debauch, when he was
about % years old, he came to his senses,
a ~penniless bankrupt.
Shortly alterward his mother died and
left him another 81 600 200. 1t took him
seven years to squander the first; il took
him eight years to squander the second.
He purchased a costly steam yacht, fur
nished it %gorgeously. employed a retinue
of servants and proceeded to CONSTANT
Athens. He fought a duel with a Young
Russian nobleman and then, firing of
Constantinople, went to Rome.
His money finally ran out and he came
to this country, landed at San Francisco
and beat his way to New York, where,
after ~roughing it for a while, he secured a
position as clerk. He came to see Inter
prefer Arbety TODAY with regard to a
third fortune which an uncle Of his in
Alexandria has left him. Mr.. Arbety
will assist him to return to his native
land, and if the fortune shall materialize
Constantine says he intends to settle
down to a serious life, for he has learned
a lesson by his experience in this country
which he will not forget.

ARSENIC AND AMMONIA.
Remarkable Contrast in the Effect o.
Two Persons on The COMPLEXION.

The slow absorption OF many poisonI
changes in some more or less modified
form the complexion, but arsenic auC
ammonia show their effect about Al
quickly as my. The popular belief taat
arsenic clears the complexion has lee
many silly women to kill themselves witt
it IN small, continued doses.
1t produces a waxy, Tvy-l!ke appear
ance of the skin during a certain stage oil
the poisoning, but its terrible after effects
have become too well known to make it OF
common use as a cosmetic.
The effects of ammonia upon the com
plexion are directly the opposite to that
of arsenic. The first symptoms of
ammonia poisoning which appears among
those who work in ammonia factories is a
discoloration of the skin OF the nose and
forehead. This gradually extends over
the face until the complexion has a
stained. hlotched and unsightly appear
ance. With people who take ammonia
into their systems in smaller doses. as
with their water or food, these striking
symptoms do not appear so soon. The
only effect OF the poison that is visible for
a time is a general unwholesomeness and
sallowness OF the complexion.
Many people are slowly absorbing am
monia poison without knowing it. The
use OF ammonia in the manufactures has
greatly increased of late, and it is unques-
tionably used as an adulteraut in certain
food preparations. Official analysis have
plainly shown its use even in such cheap
articles OF every day consumption as bak-
ing powders. The continued absorption
of ammonia In even minute quantities
as an adulterant in food is injurious not
merely from its effect upon the complex
ion, but because it destroys the coating of
the stomach and causes dyspepsia and
kindred evils.
Professor Long of Chicago. is authority
for the statement that, if to $4,000, 900
parts of water there is one part of am
monia, the water is dangerous.

A Coco Thing for the Army.

WASHINGTON, Sept. Lieut.. VIM.
II. Bowen Of the army, who inspected the
Connecticut National Guard during the
recent encampment, has sent to the war
department a very complimentary report
giving the result of his observations. A
novelty OF the encampment was the spe-
cial bicycle service by a corps OF LIST regi-
ment men, and this feature is specially
commended. The men were armed"
says Lieut.. Bowen, with Colts repeat
ing carbine and revolver. A man mounted
on a bicycle can go many places where it
would be impossible to take a horse and
can beat the flag il sending messages in
nearly every case. AS a fighting force it
may not be favored, but as messengers,
patrols and advance guard, in my opinion.
it would be advisable. | would recon-
mend to the serious consideration of the
war department the ACCESSIBILITY Of cx-
perimenting with the bicycle. The prin-
cipal duties of a military cyclist are those
of carrying dispatches. skirmishing and
accommodating. As applied to the signal
service, wheels, in my opinion, would al
most double its usefulness"

Knows Nothing About the Change.
Special Dispatch to The Leader.
OMAHA. Sept. Assistant General
Manager Dickinson of the Union Pacific,
returned last night from a Western trip,
accompanied by his family. He protested
entire Ignorance of the rumored change

secured the Union Pacific. He had not

Some of the Stories Afoat
About the Road.
Superintendent Ed. Dickinson
Interviewed.

SptGAhA sEhAR W nv ANAAtAs
OMAHA, Sept, IA special from New
York says run ors of impending changes
in the Union Pacific management sill
continue to circulate in Wall street, but it
is hard to sift them down and find the
truth. Geo. j. Gould, when asked If it
was true that the Vanderbilt interests had
secured control Of the road, replied:
Il don't keep Mr.. Vanderbilt's books
Why don't you ask him?'
well, it generally takes two to make
a bargain and the seller ought to know as
much about it as the buyer"
Il know nothing at all about the mat
ter" replied MIR. Gould.
At the Office of Drexel, Morgan & Co.,
to the query, they replied: why don't
you get the Union Pacific people? Thew
are the ones to see.
Russell Sage said: Il nave nothing to
say. All l know is what l have read in
the papers"
Notwithstanding all these e~vasions and
denials a feeling prevails that the change
will soon be announced. One report has
it that Boston holders of Rock Island and
London holders of st. Paul have been
buying Union Pacific and that Gould,
Sage and Dillon have parted with their
interests to them. Another has it that
certain prominent interests in the plan OF
reorganization are anxious for the election
of Alexander E. Orr as the successor of
President Dillon. 1t is thought that
without doubt some arrangement has been
entered into by which the road will be
operated in sympathy with the St. Paul

ing short and tall men. The affair
created a great sensation here, and owing
70 the many mysterious features of Jacob
sons story, was not generally believed. 1t
was thought by many that he had COM
rnitted suicide or had been shot by a
woman. Ever since Jacobson's death
complaints have been made 10 the police
of numerous highway robberies committed
in all parts of San Francisco by two men,
one short and the other tall.
A few days ago the police arrested on
suspicion man named Sydney Bell, who
saws he comes from Fresno. Bell made a
partial confession of robberies, duplicating
Edward c. Campbell. The latter was also
arrested, and today made startling con-
fess:on. He saws that on the nigh. of
August Is Bell and himself started out
with the intention OF holding up some
one. Bel WIS armed with D.
caliber pistol and Campbell carried
a policeman's club. They saw man get
of car at the corner Of California and
and told him 10 throw mp his hands. The
man grappIed with Rel, when the latter
nred tie pistol. Bell and Campbell then
ran awav. Bell bossting Of how he had
shot 10 XII. Bell admits numerous rob
berries. but denies that he shot Jacobson
The robbers were formerly employed as
