HOW Poet Won Big Reward From
His Sovereign.

How Poet Won Big Reward From
His Sovereign.
A poet stood waiting every day for
Augustus on the threshold of his palace
and recited to him lines of poetry. He
hoped for some remuneration, but the
reward never came.
One day, says Motto per Ridere, the
Emperor, wishing to divert himself at
the poets expense and enjoy his embar-
rassment, meeting him on the accus-
toned spot, recited to him some verses
of his own composing.
The poet listened with the greatest
composure to Augustus right on to the
end. Then taking a few coins from
his pocket he gave them TO him, say
ing;
"The gift offer you is not adequate
TO your merit, hut | am poor man
and can not give you any more"
Augustus, surprised at the smart and
cutting reply. ordered the sum of lo0,-
600 sesterces to be given the poet.

Recommendations Regarding the BIZ
metallic Question.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Secretary Fos-
ter today sent To the senate his reply to
a resolution passed in July last, calling
upon the secretaries Tor answers to Ger
toin questions relating to the finances
and financial policy of the government
The document is lengthy one. On the
question of bimetallism the secretary
says:
''In my judgment, it is impossible to
establish any ratio whatever between
gold and silver which would perma-
nently or for any great length of time
preserve substantial equivalencv be-
tween he coins of the two metals except
on one of the following conditions:
First, it>is probable that Il Limitation or
supension of the coinage of silver in the
United States might accomplish this
purpose; second, the adoption by the
United States and the principal couu-
tries of Europe of monetary conven-
the countries composing it, limited the
coinage to silver. l am OF the opinion
that the bimetallism system adopted by
the United States under the administra-
ton of President Washington, by the
law 81 April I'd, 1898, and readjusted
and maintained under the Iadministra-
tion of President jackson, and by the
law of June 18th, 1884. and January 18th,
1887, cannot again, without the cooper
alton of the principal countries of
Europe, be established in this country
on a stable basis anywav.'

Gives Detail. of His Crime.

SAN DIEGo, Dec. Captain Samuel
Smith, murderer of George eale, the
16-year-old boy, off the Coronado
islands on Friday morning last, today
made full confession of the crime. He
says he Drained the boy with Ratchet,
afterWard casting him into the sea. The
discharge of the rifle he ascribed to ac-
cident, but admits that Neale was not
dead when thrown overheard, but cried
out for help. In rehearsing his part in
the tragedy the old man displayed no
feeling, but at the close he exclaimed !:
My God, why did l do it?" He says
he intended to destroy Silbery also, but
after he got away with Neale he thought
he could get along with the other boy
The only reasons he assigned for the
crime is that the boys had set the small
boat adrifr, thus compelling him to re-
turn to port without full cargo of qua
no. A new complaint was filed against
Smith here, today in the United States
court, and commissioner Ward held
him to answer to the charge in the
district court ut Los Angeles, to which
place the prisoner was taken.

SPRAGUE, WASH, Dec. 6.-The trial of
w. G. Eddon for the murder of Peter
Myers last spring is progressing slowly.
Three days were consumed in selecting
a jury. Each candidate was asked
whether he was an Odd Fellow and he
was excused on an affirmative answer.
Eddo n is an Odd Fellow and Judge
Mount is also one. He absented him
self on this account. The ante-mortem
statement of Myers, the testimony of
Mrs. Meyers and the attending doctor,
Burrell c. Nygard, who was present
when Myers made his will, and Car
letch, the only eye witness, have been
received. The case will probably not
go to the jury before Saturday.
