REDONDO.

Yesterday morning, at Z O'Clock, a
number of the guests from the Redondo
hotel started out on a trip to Catalina
island, occupying the time going over by
trolling, and were rewarded by fine
catches. The journey was made more
interesting by the appearance of an inn
mense whale coming very near the boat,
SO near that its entire length was plainly
seen, also some large sharks. Arriving
at the island the boat was landed at the
Avalon pier, and, being the first steamer
landed there this season, most of the in
habitapts were out to greet her. After
making collection of shells from the
shops and beach, small boats were en-
gagged and the fishing grounds visited.
The ocean on this side of the island is
perfectly calm and level as floor, the
water is extremely clear, and goldfish
may be seen at great depth swimming
around among the rocks and moses.
Tie party returned at 7 80 p. M, feeling
a delightful day had been spent.

A SILVER SYNDICATE.
THE BULLION MARKET SYSTEMAT-
ICALLY BULLED.
in New York-A Scheme That is Likely
to Pan Out Immense Profits.

NEW YORK, June 6.-The Evening
Sun says: For several days past there
has been animated trading in silver bull
lion certificates upon the stock ex-
change. The price, however, ruled
steady around SO cents per ounce, and
has seemed, in Wall street parlance, to
have been pegged at that figure. There
was rumor in Wall street this morn
ing that large French syndicate had
been formed to purchase this entire
stock of silver. The syndicate was said
to be represented in this country by the
banking house of Heidelbech, Ickel-
heimer & Co. The head of the syndi-
cate in Europe is thought to be the
house of Thorsch & Co., of Vienna. 1t
is said Heidelbech. Iickelheimer &
Co. hold about 100000 certificates
of stock, represented by the receipts of
the Mercantile Trust company, which
last night were 5,436,553 ounces. As
the needs of the syndicate, which pro-
poses to purchase about 5 ,00O, 900 ounces,
have not yet been filled, the silver will
not vet be withdrawn from the Mercan-
tile Trust company. Ii this were done
the shortness in supply would become at
once apparent, and the price would ad
vance. The plan of the syndicate seems
to be about as follows:
1t is thought the stock OF silver held
in New York represents large part OF
the whole floating supply. Last year
England held a large stock of silver. but
~ hoo ooir hoon 70 Ton India
and China. The whole production of
this country is used up by this govern
ment in meeting its large requirements
for coinage, and by the arts. Hence, if
Europe needs any more silver, the syn
dicate, controlling practically the larger
part of the floating supply, will be in a
position to dictate the price at which it
will part with it.
Moreover, as election time approaches,
it is thought the west will renew the sill
yer agitation, and another effort will be
made in the next congress to put through
a free coinage bill. Silver went up to
$1.20 last fall, on the expectation OF free
coinage, and if the bill should become
a law this year, it will undoubtedly go
to that figure again.
The third point that the syndicate is
said to be calculating upon, is that the
recent and present troubles in Europe
will force the gold standard countries to
adopt bi-metalic standard.
During the Barring panic in November
last, the Bank of England was forced to
become borrower from the Bank of
France OF e3,OO0,O0O. The Bank Of
France was able to advance this sum
only on account of its liability through
its charter to pay out silver as well as
gold, when its notes are presented for
payment.

New YORK, June 6.-Joseph Shanna-
han, on his way to Sing Sing to serve
sixteen-years' sentence, escaped from
the deputy sheriff at the Grand Central
depot, this morning. Shannahan was
one of batch of eleven prisoners to be-
taken to Sing Sing. They were divided
in three groups. The second group, in
which was Shannahan, in charge of Dep
uty Sheriff Burke, had just stepped on
the platform of the car when Shannahan's s
hand shot up and the handeuf fell off.
Shannahan jumped across the platform
and made for the entrance of the rail-
road yards. As soon as he jumped
Deputy Sheriff Burke fired a shot after
bim and started in pursuit. He fired
three shots more, and was gaining on
Shannahan, when he slipped on the
track and came down, dislocating his
shoulder and receiving other injuries.
Shannahan dashed on to Fifth street.
where cab was waiting for him, and
he jumped in and drove off. The theory
of the escape is that Shannahan had a

A FIENDIsH OUTRAGE.
An Iowa Lad Castrated by a Band of
Tramps.

Tramps.
WATERLOO, Ia, June 6.-Yesterday
afternoon Joseph Brannon, aged 10, was
at work for farmer living near Wash
burn, nine miles south of this city.
Three tramps called at the house in the
absence of the family and demanded
something to eat. Brannon refused their
request, telling them of the absence of
the family. The refusal angered the
tramps and they assaulted the lad,
throwing him to the ground and castra-
ting him. Brannon's cries frightened
the scoundrels before they could COM
plete their work, and they escaped,
leaving their victim in an unconscious
condition. When Brannon regained
consciousness, two hours later, he har-
messed horse and drove to Gilbertville,
where he gave the alarm. An accurate
description of the men was given, and
the sheriff and posse are now in pur-
suit. The wretches will undoubtedly be
lynched if caught.

Very few women have any practical

the business of shrewd sharp men, but
in one OF Rrooklyn's stores there is a
young woman who can tell you at once
the quality of the skin i'm question She
has much practical knowledge of the
goods she handles, and it very often
happens that customers ask for her,
feeling great confidence in what she
tells them This girl not only took the
prize for having sold the largest num-
ber of garments through the holidays
but has also just taken very large crder
perhaps the largest single order ever
taken in Brooklyn, or possibly New

WOMEN WHO REMAIN YOUNG.

Why 1t Is They Never Seem to Feel or
show the Flight OF Time.
There are some women who refuse to
grow old, whose spirits defy the de-
stroying forces of time. They are
young not only to outward appearance,
but are youthful to the core; in direct
contrast with that natural state that
affects the girl. when heart and mind
hold only the ashes of enthusiasm and
purpose.
The woman who will not or can not
recognize the rights and the beauties of
the autumn and winter of life, and who
does not checrfully if not gracefully ac-
cept them in her own experience is un-
true to the laws of her being. 1t is the
woman who has no quarrel with the
passing years, and who makes no des-
perate struggle to defeat if possible
those forces that take from her one by
one the attractions Of person who is
found worthy to receive that youthful
ness of soul that makes ;,ll things new
to herself and to those about her.
People OF this sort seem, to observers,
to possess Il dual nature, and to own a
peculiar charm on account of it. The
woman who has = wealth of experience,
and ut the same time refuses to grow
old is priced by both young and old as a
companion. The kind of mysterious
magic that she seems to have about her
draws like q magnet, and brings the
world to her feet
Especially do the young focls to her
for help and sympathy. She has the
strength that their incxperience Graves.
and the sweet persistent spirit of youth
fulness that she possesses bridges the
gulf of years. The hair may be snowy,
the eyes may have lost their brilliancy,
the shadow of sorrow may be discerned
over the brow, yet the conquering spirit
has set its seal above all the signs of
physical defeat, and proclaims the vic
tory thus Of mind and heart over the
laws Of nature, or rather glorifes their
essential meaning.
But there arc some who stand before
such condition in a critical manner:
indeed many seem to regard such :;
woman as working through kind of
black art, and us influencing her admir-
ers by the force of its dark secrets.
Such judges are always of the sort vho
