make the best helpmeets. Yet the
allusion continues, and men fall
victims to women who manage to
keep a genteel appearance by ex-
travagant expenditures in dress.
We are willing to admit that it is an
attractive feature, but in the long
run proves an expensive luxury to
those who are dazzled by this quail

more important features. about
women that should elicit attention
from men who are matrimonially

Story Of an Emerald.

At the Weddell House there is a
horseman staying. That horseman
has an emerald the size of q thumb
nail, and the emerald has a history.
He wears the gem on his black neck
tie, and this is the story: Back in
1849 he was coaching between Sac
ramento and San Francisco. His
partner had a beautiful pin, an en-
erald of great size surmounted with
diamonds. The man at the Weddel
House wanted the pin and finally
traded with his partner, giving q
team of horses in exchange. He
took the pin to a San Francisco
jeweler and asked him his opinion.
The jeweler smiled as he looked
at the stone, took q little tool out
and detached the emerald from the
setting. It proved to be two pieces
Of glass cemented together, with a
piece of green paper between. The
man who owned the pin was mad.
He was also flush, 80 he told the jew
-eler to put in an emerald to match
the glass in size and color, and it
was done at an expense of 500.
The partner who had cheated his
friend liked to bet on sure thing,
and fixed it up with a pal to bet
the owner of the pin it was false.
They all met in barroom at San
Francisco and the pal said to the
supposed dupe; "Jim, you like that
pin you got in q trade with Abe,
but I'll bet it's no good"
Jim acted the indignant, said his
own partner would not cheat him
and offered modest bet.
"'Taint 'nuff," said the pal. "You
make it $500 and I'll 60 YOU"
"Oh," said Jim, carelessly, "if
you want a big bet make it a clean
81 900 and put up the dust"
The money was staked and the
whole crowd went out to a jewelry
store up the street. The pin was
presented and was pronounced one
Of the finest emeralds on the Pacific
slope. Abe nearly dropped in his
tracks, for he furnished the money
secretly to his pal, and the other
poor fellow who made the bet was
paralyzed.
There must be some mistake"
he said ; "let's try some other jew
eler." They did, and the verdict of
the second expert was that the
stone was genuine. Jim pocketed
bis thousand and said quietly to his
partner: "Abe, I'm just $500 ahead

going to -open q few bottles of

How the strikers Learned that the
Pinkerton's Were Coming.

How the mill men at Carnegie's
plant got word that the Pinkerson's
were coming is in the Chicago Tri-
bune as follows, the story coming
from the man who gave the infor-
nation to the mill men, through .
friend. s&
The man is John T. Norris, for
merly in the employ of Pinkerton
and who was arrested by Pinkertoa
in Chicago a year ago and whose
trial caused a sensation there at the
time. Pinkerton had him arrested
again at Dayton, o., last January.
It is a case of get even.
When Pinkerton discharged Nor
ris in Ohio and then caused his
arrest, Norris quoted the following
bit of poetry to Billy:
It don't pay to do much talking
When you're mad enough to choke,
Because the words that cut the deepest
Are those you never spoke.
I always let the other fellow wrangls
Till the storm 10 blown away,
Then he'll begin to thiak about
The things didn't say.
Norris swore he would get even
with Pinkerton and bided his time.
Two weeks ago he was in Chicago
and met a Pinkerton man who had
been with Norris in the Hooking
Valley troubles, and the man told
Norris Pinkerton was collecting q
force to send to Homestead.
Norris left on the first train out
of Chicago and arrived at Home
stead next day. He left the same
afternoon for Chicago again and
hi hgnted up an old Hooking Valley
d Elective who was with Norris there
a ID told him to report to Pinker-
f and engage for the expedition,
q d keep him, Norris, posted at
Estsburg.
! 1!orris says he paid the man a
s>od sum of money in advance to
do this. Norris returned here to
await information. He got a wire
from his man when the Chicago
contingent left and again when the
expedition was en- route.
When the Pinkertons were dis
embarking from the train here to
take the boat Norris man escaped,
reported to Norris, and was sent as
courier to the mills and notified
the men one hour in advance OF
the attack.
This man is one of the reported
missing Pinkerton men, so Norris
says. He was not in the engage
ment. Norris says his man told
him that four Pinkerton men were
drowned.
This tallies with the original
story-two Pinkertons killed and
two missing.
Norris told his friend that he did
not think at the time there would
be any killed. He says it cost him
money to give the information, but
he told Pinkerton that he would
get even, and he thinks he has kept

McGarrahan Wept.

Billy McGarrahan cried like a
baby last night az he stood in the
Capitol corridor and heard that the
celebrated McGarrahan claim had
passed Congress. There has been
many a day when McGarrahan has
gone without y square meal while
pleading with Congress to recog-
nize the Justice of his claim, but
now he has suddenly jumped into
great wealth, and the list Of Ameri-
can millnnaires viii now have to
be revised.
Yesterday he had nothing but
the clothes on his back, but to-day
his fortune is variously estimated
at from $4,000, 600 to $1O,OOO,O00.
The McGarrahan claim has been
q celebrated one for thirty-four
years, and in that time nearly every
lobbyist has had q hand in it.
It is said that Crane, the actor,
took "The Senator" from it. 1t has
passed the Senate or House fifteen
times, but never got through both
Houses until last night. In the
thirty-four years of unceasing en-
deavor McGarrahan has had d hard.

Women Of Muscle.
Miss Josie Wohlford, known as
Minerva" calls herself the strong
woman Of the world, says the New
York World. Miss Wohlford has
just set the circus-loving popula-
ton agog by accepting the chal-
-lenge Of the famous Fanny German,
who under the name Of Yucca
has won a national reputation by
her herculean feats. 'sNinerva"
does not understand her abilities,
and closes in q letter sent from
Mexico, where she is the Eensation
of the hour, by saying:
"When / return to New York,
about February Is, 1898, l will let
the people know who is the strong
est woman in the world, and it
won't take me long to put them to
sleep. mean business.
This fair Hercules is only "a years
old. She is handsome brunette,
of elephantine proportions. Her
weight is 1856 pounds, and her waist
measurement is "a inches. Seven
hundred pounds is weight which
the young lady carries comfortably
in one hand, while q dumbbell un-
der 100 pounds is not worthy of
her recognition. She makes spe-
cialty of breaking horseshoes with
her bare hands. This she does by
knocking them gently against her
hips. Iron chains which fetter other
animals securely are snapped into
pieces by her without unusual ex-
penditure of energy. Another feat
in which Minerva" distinguishes
hersel is performed by placing two
chairs three feet apart. She main
tains her equilibrium by placing
one foot on each. A halter is then
put about her neck with a chain,
to which is attached a 25O-pound
iron ball. She then lifts her head,
straightens herself and raises this
toy several feet from the floor by
the strength of her neck. A 200
pound man, sitting in chair, she
can elevate to the ceiling on a Sec
ond's notice. But Minerals" star
performance is intercepting the
speed of cannon balls. When one
is fred at her from distance of 80
feet, instead of foolishly allowing
it to take her head along with it
like genuine veteran, she catches
it in her hands. The sum of $500
and the championship will be her
reward if she beats Fanny German.
Miss Wohltord is filling years
with Orrin Brothers.
When the match between this cham
pion and Fanny German takes
place Is feats will be performed by
each, and the successful winner of
eight will be the champion strong
