CHANDELIERS CRITICISM.
His References to New Hampshire Judges
Causing Much Comment.

Els References to New Hampshire Judges
Causing Much Comment.
CONCORD, N. H., Jan. Ex-senator
Chandler's references to New .Hamp-
shire Judges in his open letter to Editor
j. Z. Moore are causing much comment.
The Senator said ar,ong other things:
There is much need of fearless COM
ment on many of the past and completed
acts of our judges. Some of them ride
free on Boston & Maine Railroad passes.
Their names are on the list. I think
some also ride free on the Concord &
Montreal Railroad. The judges salaries
were raised 5000 each in 1881 with the
one distinct object Of keeping them from
riding free.
1.-The judges unconstitutionally APP
point the State Board of Equalization,
and this judges board, whose members,
except one, Mr.. John w. Hill. ride free
on the railroads, have undervalued at
least 30 per cent. of the railroads for
taxation purposes.
They are valued at $50, 900, 900, when
they should be valued at least at $37,-
7S5, 900. They pay only 1888, 343 taxes,
when they should pay at least $41S, 759.
There is no remedy for the people when
the judges impose unjust taxes, except
in Il popular cutlery"
The Senator critics the official con-
duct of Chief Justice Doe, says the SEN
tence Of Murderer Almy in the latter's
absence from court was illegal, and de-
clares that he (the Senator) has returned
every railroad pass offered to him for Ia
years.

CHINA's RICHEST MINES.
The Most Valuable Mineral Deposits Are
at Jaho-Worked by Coolies.

The Most Valuable Mineral Deposits Are
at Jaho-Worked by Coolies.
John Gildea returned to this city re-
Gently from China, where for the past
year he has been in the employ of the
Chinese government at the mines Of
Jaho, says the San Francisco Call.
IDAHO is the ancient capital of Mon
golia," says Mr.. Gildea, land is about
three hundred miles inland. On the
way to the mines we rode horseback all
the distance and passed through many
villages, the inhabitants of which had
never seen white man. In some
places the women and children would
double lock the doors and hide, while
the men would follow us wherever we
went out of curiosity. They didn't un-
derstand how we came to be without
queues and were mystifed at our ap-
pearance and style of dress, but no at
tempt was made to modest us.
The Jaho mines are extensive and
consist of a lode sixty miles long and one
hundred feet wide. The ore is silver
bearing, but will not average more than
twelve dollars ton. About one thou
sand coolies are on the pay roll and
each gets about five dollars and half a
month in Mexican money. They are
the greatest thieves I ever saw, and
many of them, just for the love of steal
ing, would steal a piece of ore perhaps
worth not more than five cents, though
if the pilferer were caught he would
lose his pay and be bambooed besides.
This punishment is given by striking
the man on the muscles of his bare legs,
and often so severely that the flesh is
cut through to the bone.
much of the mining machinery is
frst-class and was sent from this state,
and doubt if any mine in the United
States is better equipped with modern
machinery than the mines of Jaho."

TALL GIRLS 70 BLAME.

They Are Responsible for Short Mems
High Heels and Hats
'sPnt two extra lifts on the heel" &C
companied an order to shoemaker.
Italy another victim of the tall GIRL
the shoemaker remarked.
''How is that2'' asked the reporter
for the New York Sun.
"Why, there are SO many tall girls
nowadays that the average height of
men must be raised Up TOT few years
ago the lowest heel was the rage, but
now the heel is decidedly higher--I fig
IRE it between half and three-quarters
of an inch. It Is all the growth of re-
cent years. It isn't fashion, either, for
you'll not find the high heel among tall
men. It's only among the little fellows
who try to add to their height but ever
so little But even half AN inch counts
in mans height. A few years ago
man of five feet six was seldom over
topped by a lady. Now the man of five
feet eight is not infrequently looked
down on. don't suppose any city in
the world can show SO many tall girls
as are to be seen in Broadway, Four
teenth and Twenty-third streets these
days. They are not thin girls, either,
but wel1-proportioned and solidly built,
which makes their height all the more
exasperating to an understood man.
You see, by adding a little to his heels
and to his hat man just under" the av-
erage can lift himself up to it."

girl has a great deal to do with boom

think sometimes that the tall girl is re-
sponsible for this change, because a
five foot six inch customer came in here
not long ago and asked for my highest
hat. He had good pair of shoulders
and could carry it well, but he had al
ways worn low hat. I asked him why
he changed. "Oh, I've changed girls
and the new one is about half an inch
taller than l. If get high hat it will

A Twenty-third street dealer in WON

said 1.-THE tall girl differs from mar
in not being proud of her height. She
knows a little girl is more likely to be
esteemed affectionate and loving by the
men than is tall girl. So she tries tc
get down to the loving level. Then

Because the Girl Wasn't a Boy.

ANsoN1A, Conn, Jan. 25.-The only
cause that Patrick Reardon, who is un-
der arrest here, gives for attempting to
murder his infant child is that the babe
was girl and he wanted a boy. Rear
don had three girls already, and the dis
appointment he felt at the birth of an
other was great. After the child was
born Reardon celebrated by getting
drunk. He went home intoxicated and
on finding out the sex of the child, COM
manded the baby to be thrown out of
the window. No one obeyed and he
started to do it himself, when DR.. Louis
Cooper interfered. The physician and
Reardon had a fierce struggle before the
police arrested Reardon.

CHAPTER XIV.

The bright, unclouded days of the
Colorado winter had passed away, one
as monotonously like another as the
beads slipped from the sleepy fingers of
a nun; and now the spring, in small
furies of rain and hail, snow furries and
wind storms, seemed trying to make up
what the unreasonable apathy of its
elder brother had left rndone.
It was Sunday, chill, clustering day,

To Guido "Jekyll and HYDE"

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 25.-Lloyd Os-
bourne, stepson of Robert Louis Steven
son, who accompanied the famous novelist
on the South Sea cruise, has arrived here
and says that Mr.. Stevenson's health is
completely restored. Mr.. Stevenson has
just completed a novel which Mr.. o.
bourne saysi his greatest. It is called
"On the Beach at Falesa," and is shortly
to appear in book form. It involves the
life of trader in the South Seas and is
ghostly in it's ending. 1t is said that
''Jekyll and Hyde" is not to be compared
to it for plot and action.

and other symbolic missives have been
received by the president of the United
States from various tribes of Indians.

A Test of Spaed-

The Philadelphia Record says that
"a trial of speed between English
and American locomotives, which
will set at rest the conflicting claims
of superiority made by both coun-
tries, will be an interesting and novel
feature Of the Worlds Fair. The
scheme has been broached to both
the Pennsylvania and New York Cen
tral companies, but no definite ac-
tiOn has yet been taken by either. 1t
is not known which of the two great
roads will undertake the contest.
The plan is to bring over an English
locomotive of the latest pattern,
which will burn English coal, with a
crew who will speak with an English
accent. The run will be made from
New York to Chicago and return,
either with a heavy or light train, or
possibly both. The run west may be
made with a heavy train and che re-
turn with a lighter one. The Ameri-
can engine will carry the same weight
and go by the same route, and the
palm will be awarded to the one
making the run in the shortest time.
The English locomotives are built
for use upon tracks without such
heavy grades and sharp curves as
are constructed in the United States,
and they are not supplied with a sys-
tenn of springs such as are used upon
American engines. A fair test of the
merits of the two machines could be
made upon the New York Central
Railroad, the route of which to Chi
cago avoids the mountains, so attrac-
tive to every through passenger up
on the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
< Ohio Railroads."

are peculiar. Since Copenhagen has

abled to check it at leisure, and
should he detect an overcharge, have
it out with the manager at once.
