certificates for the new. The old are
quite numerous, but the new, where
are they? They are not in circula-
ton. They we're never intended to
be put in circulation when the bill
was passed. The object of the bill
was to allow the silver bullion holder
to exchange his bullion for gold coin.
That 10 all there is to it. The GER

bullion takes it at once and has it
redeemed in gold coin. The certifi-

Doubtless congress will inquire into
it. It shows the folly, however, OF
issuing notes to people who own
silver, in place of opening the minis

allowing the owner to do what he
wiehes with his dollars. The govern

AN ANGELS COMMAND.
a Strange Dream That Nearly Resulte
in n Suicide,

a Strange Dream That Nearly Resulted
in a Suicide.
Fannie Schwartz. pretty little dark-eyed
Polish girl, II years old, has been living for
the past six months in two rear rooms on
the third floor of the large furnished room
house at II First street, New York, with
Jacob Schllman, a Russian cloak maker.
The girl was alone on Saturday evening
and swallowed the larger portion of half
pound package of paris greens and when
Schillman returned home at midnight he
found her in q em-unconscious state In
bed. In response to his questions she said
she had taken some medicine, but as the
girl had repeatedly threatened to kill her.
self Sehllman concluded that she had a.
tempted suicide and hastily ran for physi-
clan. DR.. Landman visited the house, and,
deciding that the girl had poisoned herself
with paris green, he applied stomach pump
successfully.
Then, as the girl declared she would make
another attempt upon her life. he called an
ambulance, and she was taken to Bellevue
Hospital ms prisoner.
At that institution yesterday it was said
that the girl was out OF danger and would
probably be able to leave the hospital in
day or so. Fannie tells peculiar story.
She says she is the daughter OF a well-tU-do
farmer living near Cracow. in Austria
Poland, and that her grandfather there is a
rich man. being worth 100000 gulden.
When she was Is years of age she surprised
her parents by joining the Catholic Church.
Her people are ISraelites and they took
measures to bring her back to the Jewish
faith. Then they decided to send her to
America to begin life anew. She has an
uncle and cousins in New York.
Schillman visited the girl at the hospital
yesterday and fell on his knees by her side,
CRYING ptlfully. She declared, he says, that
she took the poison by accident. after a
strange dream. in which she thought the
heavens were descending upon her. and
that an angel then appeared to her and com.
manded her to kill herself. Now, however,
she thinks she misinterpreted the angels
meaning and that he instructed her to live.

A CALIFORNIA TYPE.
One Who Was a Wood Ranger on Horse
back Rather Than a Cowboy.

one VINO was wood Ranger on Horse
back Rather Than a Cowboy.
Hiram Selby was one Of the mountain
bred boys. n phenomenally good mustang
BREAKER fine shot and a companion you
could trust. l have told many stories about
him in those Santa Lucia days. Poor fel-
lowl An oak that he was Telling killed him
years ago. and the Selby cabin, where he
lived with his feeble old mother, is fairly
rotting into place like a burial mound, so
quickly the wild clemats and black berry
have seized upon it. l rode past it a few
DAYS ago, and some OF Aunty Selby's mari
Colds were still blooming around it. The
old oak still remains on which Hiram used
to nail his skins an varmint an hides"
skins" meant deer or bar; hides"
meant calves or cattle-the tame, domestic
element one might say; ''yarminr' in
Hiram's mind meant coons, foxes, wildcats,
coyotes and badgers.
In these days Hiram would be ranked as
a cowboy. But he was more of wood
ranger on horseback He drove cattle for
the wealthy ranchers, and earned fair
living; but he preferred to be his own mas
ter and to ride all day long over the Santa
Lucias, with his favoritee weapon, a large
army revolver, "peggin'" at things.
Ground squirrels an jackrabbits they
give man practice" he used to remark to
me. Varmint them's better and wuth a
little, RELY like to drop wildcat with
my slX-sh00ter.
For large game he carried an old muzzle-
loading rifle, as most of the boys of the dis
tIict did, until few years later Henry
rifles or old model Winchesters came in.
Sometimes for a year or two at time he
made his living by "huntn' an tradin'
hosses." as be once told me. Once
year he went to amp-mesting
and always nightly stirred up be-
fore its close. leading the mourners
and confessing all his sins Of omission and
commission. Then he came home rejoicing
to Aunty Selby. and for few weeks the
work he did in the garden would have done
credit to any professional h0rtculturist
After a little the charm of the unfenced
mountain wilderness again Overcame him,
and the giant oaks about the log cabin be-
gan to be covered once more with his :.skins,
hides an varmint."
The type is old. but it is vanishing; it is
already hard to find on any part of the Pa
ciic Coast; fnrty-acre farms occupy the
valleys, and men are planting orchards by
the hundred in the sunny shelters of the
Santa LucRs. There is still certain sort
of pioneering to be done there, but it is a
tame and tiresOme sort compared with the
book Of the days of the beginnings, when
the first trails were made, the first grizzlies
shot. the first squatter fights fought ont be-
tween cattlemen and cabin builders ON the
Observation-Disclosures aud Stream.

NO. thank you," replied he, rising with
an effort.
'Do you wish to go away without having
rested?"
81 am expected in the city,"
Jeanne did not insist Then he went with
a heavy step toward the door. But before
going out he paused and. very humble:
"Will you bestow upon me the aims OF
kiss, little one ?" duplicated he.
There WAS nothing in this question to
trouble Jeanne, so paternal was the tone, so
much did 1t express Of gratitude and re-
spect. She advanced and presented her fore
head to his trembling lips. which touched 1T
as if they had been placed upon sacred
relic.
Then the vagabond cIasped his hands
with a despairing gesture which Jeanne
did not comprehend. She saw only one
thing and that was that he wept. As for
him, almost ashamed of his tears and as II
to explain them, he murmured:
'In the past l lost daughter VINO re-
sembled you."
And he went out. Jeanne followed him
as far as the threshold and stood there,
greatly touched on seeing him turn severai
times to bid her adieu, until he had dlsap-
peared at the turn of the road.
Poor mani sighed she. as she went IN
again. ERNEST DAUDET.

An Infantile WhistIer

The other day the passengers on North
Alabama street-car were surprised TO hear
within the car a long, low whistle, sweet as
the carol of bird. But they were even
more surprised when they discovered the
all in white, who, with the least bit of en-
enlargement, repeated the performance over
and over again to the amusement and de-
light of the passengers. The performer
was a fifteen-months-old bOy-baby named
Leo Kantrowtz, and the girl who
was taking him downtown to see his papa
gave the information that he had been
whisting for two months, having taken
it up wholly of himself. The baby has a
good idea of tune and time, and is prob
ably the youngest musical performer in the
State. 1t is not unlikely that his aptness
for music is an inheritance, for Professor
Kantrowitz, the music composer, who re-

GAMBLING.
Il PTediSD0Ses Those who Engage in Il 10
Commit Suicide.

'If we could but obtain accurate statis-
ties we should find that gambling was Of all
vicious habits, not even excluding hard
drinking, the one which most predisp osed
its victims to suicide. Yet" continues the
writer. zone does not quite see at first why
gambling should so greatly predispose to
suicide. The gambler prma facie ought to
be a man trained by his life to bear i'll luck
with fOrttude." This, of course, is true
only if there be nothing in the very condi-
tons of his life secretly disinte3rating that
f0rtitude.
Let US see. 1t is probable that an intelli-
gent jury will always account for the
gamblers suicide by suppOSing that, ere he
c0nsummated the awful deed, he had cume
under the resstIess control of temporary
insanity. Hence we must try to discover
those facts in the gamblers inward history
which lead to this insanity. l believe
they are Of two classes. according as we
study his experience in the light Of
ethical or of psychological and physiological
laws. In the region Of moral conscious
ness l do not think we need seek far
for the cause of the insanity. The loss
of the mans whole possessions by gam
bling must work upon him like
sudden accident UPON a drunken man-lt
an akens him. And now as he looks at the
result Of MS career, at the obligations he
has ignored. the relatives he has wronged,
even the riches he has lost in pursuit OF the
gamblers passion, only one word can rise
to his mind. and that is FOOL" AS he
chances around, the men with whom he has
been gambling look at him in pity and NUT
ter Poor fellOwp or Poor fool!' the
very servants who have watched his ruin
gaze now at one poorer than they, and call
him in their hearts Poor fool"
l believe that this word of scOrn, echoing
within and without, filling the atmosphere
for that mans ear, accurately describes the
shame which he feels. Ashamed, crushed,
ruined. despised by the associates who need
him no longer, and called to no new and
congenial surroundings by any human voice,
the wonder is not that so many become in
sane, but that every ruined gambler is not
drawn in the hour of his awakening into the
terrible vortex of insanity. The man who
loses his all in legitimate commercial I'M
dertaking retains at least his self-respect.
and self-respect is the soul of fortitude.-

Aluminium Beer-Mngs.

Aluminium is to depose not only the
beer glasses, but even the adored beer-mug
of the South Germans. DR.. Schultze
of Vieuna alarmed the beer-drinkers about
year ago by his declaration that beer not
only deteriorated in few minutes by being
kept in a glass, but that the glazed earthen-
ware 'rKrug," with its metal top. afforded
no protection to the evanescent qualities of
the liquors of King Gambrlnus and John
Barleycorn.
Pewter pots, says DR.. Schulize, are good,
and silver pots are better; but best of all is
the aluminium mug So the doctor advises
the manufacture of aluminium pots, which
would be forty times cheaper than silver,
and half the weight of pewter.-Phila.
