Led Into the Valley of Death.

"There is also a VALLEY of Death
in America, although not many peo.
pie are aware of its location," said
Col Benjamin G. Gleason, an old
California pioneer who is registered
at the Ire mont House. lie said he
had read of the deadly place i'll the
island of Java. He said if the valley
in his country is not as ghastly it is
as aplly named.
"a band of immigrants known as
the Montgomery Train consisting of
nearly 100 families, pershed in a val
ley north of the old Mormon road in
Utah about 40 years ago, and that is
why the spot is known as the Valley
of DEATH, ," continued the old pioneer.
at was Mormon horror. Simply
because some of the immigrants had
displeased some of the Mormon in
habitants along the route they were
led to tEeir death by Mormon guide.
The place is So miles square and sur
rounded by mountains so steep they
clnnot b. climbed. There is one en-
trance to the spot and that is where
the train entered Neither water nor
vegetation is found there; beasts and
birds shun the spot. Nothing but
sand abounds. Even the snakes avoid
the place, there not being enough in
the desolate region to furnish means
of subsistence.
"Thc immigrants were enroute to
the Pacific coast, and it was to this
barren region they were led by their
guide, who, it is claimed, had instruc-
/ tions from the Mormon leaders to mis-
lead the band and permit it TO perish.
The travellers reached the centre, and
around and around the enclosure they
wandered. The scorching sun poured
down upon them, and children crying
Tor water died on their mothers
breasts. Then the mo. hers with swol-
len tongues and burning vitals lay
down in tile sun to die. Strong men
stretched themselves in death, and the
animals followed.
cit was thirteen months after the
band perished before the place was re-
visited. During all this time the alb
sence of the immigrants was not ex-
planned. Finally, when the Kansas
Pacific engineers were exploring the
unknown region they discovered the
barren spot. The train was scattered
all over the valley. The wagons stood
complete, while the skeletons of men
women, children, and beasts lay
bleaching in the sun. - Chicago Tri-

Air Currents Above Us.

Mr.. f. Galton, i'll some recent re-
marks on the importance of observing
the upper currents of the air, said that
the great thing we now want to know
is the state of the air above us; for we
are at the bottom of an @rial ocean,
and all we know is what takes place
at the bottom. Imagine how little a
marine animal that lived in TIE bottom
of the sea, having the same intelli-
gGnce as ourselves, would know of
the currents above. That is precisely
our position. We understand only
one horizontal section of this superin-
cumbent mass. Capt. III. Toynbee of
England, commenting on Mr.. Gal
toms remarks, observes that it seems
possible that cheap balloons may be
nsed to. advantage where upper clouds
are not seen. He thinks this is
proved by the adventure of an @ro-
naut who went to Madras a while ago
and advertised an ascent, fixing an
hour when the sea breeze had set in,
with the object of being driven over
the land. There were no upper clouds
to show the motion of the upper cur
rent of air. Mr.. Bayley of the reve-
nue board of Madras fea$ed that there
might be an upper current of air
which would take the man out to sea.
lie took his glass and watched the bal
loon from his office window AT first,
in the lower stratum of air, the bal
loon drifted quickly to the westward
over the land; but soon. giving pecu-
liar twist, it moved seaward so quickly
that although the man pulled the string
of the valve, allowing the gas to es-
cape very freely, he fell into the sea
two or three miles from the land.
Boats in the harbor hurried out and
saved him TGoldthwaite' Magazine.

An Obedient Soldier.

In the confusion of the engagement
at Shiloh the captain of a Federal bat
terry was commanded to stop the adj
vance of column of troops dimly
seen through smoke and dust.
General he said, "those arc our
own reinforcements.
"YOu are mistaken, SIR" said the
general tartly; ado as l bid you"
The captain promptly opened fire,
smashing the head Of the column and
driving it to cover. He sighted one
of the guns himself and did all the
damage he could. He knew he was
killing friends, but when obeying or
ders it was his habit to obey them in
letter and in spirit. When he had
stopped the column he seated himself
comfortably on the trail of gun and
lit his pipe.-[San Francisco Exam

Novel Use of the Silver Dollar.

Manufacturing jewellers have lately
put the silver dollar to use in two
novel designs. One is as the bowl of
a souvenir spoon. The circla shape
is retained, and the coin is placed
under heavy die that pushes the CEN
tire down until the whole affair is
shaped into shallow bowl that win
hold nearly tcaspoOnful. 1t is then
fastened to straight silver handle, at
the top of which is an inch-high stat
uette of "Liberty Lighting the
World" This is called the ''Ncw
York" spoon, the fitness of it lying,
suppose, in the theory that New York
is always chasing the mighty dollar.
| don't think the spoon was designed
in New York. however. The other
novel use of the silver dollar is as
picture-hoder. Here is a dollar that
is like any other dollar, only that it is
much lighter. BY pressing the thumb
nail upon the letter "E" in the word
"UniIed,' the whole face of the coin
inside the milling is made TO fly open,
and a hollow interior is revealed
wherein a small photograph, lock of
hair or anything of that sort can be
concealed. So fine is the workman
ship. and so skilfully is the spring
concealed, that no one, even if he
knew that the coin was hollow, could
open it unless told how. Pressing on
the letter will not open the coin; the
letter must be slid a hairs breath
to one side.-[St Louis Globe Demo-

a morning contemporary announces
as a matter of news that Mrs. Hon.
kins- Searles offers her residence on
California street for sale 1t might
have added, as a companion item, that
the Pilgrim Fathers had landed on
Plymouth Rock. There has been no
time for many years that the HOPKINS
mansion on California street has not
been for sale, though, if public rumor
be believed, the owner has not been
distracted by many offers to purchase.
1t is, in fact, difficult to conceive who
could want to become Its posse ,sor at
any price.
The spectacle of Mob Hill, with pa
latial pics crowning its ridge, fills the
stranger who visits California with
mild amazement. There are five big
buildings there, which were built as
private residences, and which are as
unfit for that use as could be conceived.
They we're apparently modelled on the
plan of the palaces Of the Old World,
which were erected to be the homes of
feudal barons and all their rctaincrs.
In the middle ages every nobleman
supported q swarm of dependents.
He had to find quarters for them, and
of course his lodgings had to be large.
In our day rich menIdo not maintain
much larger households than their
neighbors. Individually they cannot
occupy more than dozen rooms, and
as many will lodge all the servants
they can employ. More rooms than
this are of no possible use. Conceived
in ostenta'ion, their destiny is to be-
come lumber closets, In the old feu-
dial castles of Europe the modern pos
SCISSOR is lost; il gives him night
mare to wander through maze of
rooms which are never occupied save
by mice and spiders, and he 1ces to
take refuge in bedroom and parlor
at club or hotel. 1t must be much the
same in the mansions Of Mob Hill.
II they have any destiny, it must be
to become some day public buildings
museums or hospitals. Even for that
use they would have TO be donated by
their owners, for the city could build
suitable edifices for less money than
they would cost if they were bought.
1t seems odd that mea with the sa-
gacity required to build transconti-
mental railroad and TO acquire vast for

Mrs. Hopkins Fad Proved His
Fortune


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-Sensation-
al facts in connection with the death of
Mrs. Hopkins-Searles and the distribu-
ton of her millions were made here
yesterday. 1t is stated that the near
friends of the late Mrs. Searles were
not surprised al her marriage, for the
reason that they had regarded her nell
tai condition for quite while before as
unsouGd, and no one knew what di-
rection it might take. Her belief in
spirifualism had been known to her
family for more than year previous TO
her marriage, and 1t was also known
that she kept her private medium in
her house IN order to have constant
ly at hand private operator
through whom she could communicate
with the invisible world. The advent
of Searles was about the time the spirit
ual line had been fully opened, and 1t
hid not take him long to learn the lay of
he land. He joined the mystic circles,
proclaimed himself not only believer,
but an apostle of the spiritualistic creed,
and was welcome party at all the
seances. The young medium, Crook.
when asked if Mr.. Huntington knew of
this weakness of Mrs. Searles, replied:
"Oh, yes; he knew all about it, and at
the time thought he was believer in
spiritualism. She had great confidence
In him in all matters-sO much so, in
deed, that Mr.. Searles could not induce
her to do anything over mis- objection"
