A Little Child's influence.

Bernard ]. Schmitz, wealthy farmer
Of Atchison county, Kan, went to Ger
many last November to visit his old
home, and was arrested for deserting the
German army thirty years before. The
matter was placed in the hands of the
United States minister in Germany, but
all efforts to secure Schmitz's release ap-
peared fruitless. Schmitz's eleven-year
old daughter, however, wrote letter to
the emperor of Germany from her home
in this country, setting forth in Il child
like manner the facts in the case and ask
ing for her fathers release on his birth
day, which came ON the 4th of last month.
The letter reached the emperor on the
eth, and he was SO touched that he is
sued a pardon for Schmitz, who is now on
his way home.--Cor. New York World.

MORE EXPLOSIONS AT THE FRENCH

Prominent Men Receive Menacing Let

PARIS, March 29.-It is rumored that

known. 1t is said that two persons
were injured. The police are in charge
of the building and refuse to allow
anybody to approach. Two arrests
have been made. 1t is believed the
damage is comparatively slight.
The director of the Paris custom-house

An iron cylinder filled with an un-
known substance was found opposite the
finance ministry tonight.
1t is affirmed that yesterday evening

out what turned out to be burning

metres in length with long fuse which
had just been lighted.
The impression prevails that the city
is on the verge OF another reign of ter

allay public excitement.
The police assert that they have in

Women in New York Banks.

Certain of the up town banks make
speciality of attention to women de-
positors and try all manner of schemes
to make them feel comfortable And
they truly do more to encourage the
daintiness of the toilet than all the
beauty shops in town. One of these
banks, right in the heart of the shopping
district, has Just behind the cashiers
desk softly curtained door, through
which may be seen the corner of fresh,
white apron. This belongs to bright
faced woman, who is ready and waiting
to repair any damages to ones gown
that may have developed during the
tour of the shops. Needles, scissors and
silk of all shades, buttons and pins are
all waiting to be used, while whisk
brooms and bottles of shoe dressing are
close at hand And then the washstand,

faucets to supply hot and cold water,

and the girl must be careless indeed of
her comfort and her fringe who will not
run in for moment in passing.
The waiting woman in charge of this
room scorns with an unlimited scorn the
girl or woman who deposits her wealth
in her stocking. She says it is astonish-
ing how many people carry their valua-
BILE in that singular hiding place. A
little chamois bag holds the bills, and
that is fastened to the garter for greater
security. She has a trife less disdain
for those who open three or four buttons
of their frock and slip the precious roll
inside. She thinks the money can be
produced with fewer gymnastics in the
latter case than when the lower recepta-
Gle is made use of. She tries to deter
women from putting money in their
stockings by telling dire tale Of a girl

Few persons in this city are aware of
the rapid growth and farreaching scope
of the work done by the Periodical club
Comparatively speaking, there are few
persons in New York who even know
that such club as the Periodical club
exists. Four years ago Mrs. Mortimer
Fargo, jealous Christian worker in an
up town Protestant Episcopal parish, con-
ceived the idea that great deal of good
might be accomplished by collecting
books, magazines and papers that had
been thrown aside and distributing them
gratuitously in the far west and south.
She consulted few clergymen and
philanthropic laymen, and the forma-
ton Of the Periodical club was the re-
suit. Beginning in modest way, the
work of that organization has grown to
large proportions. Thousands upon
thousands of periodicals and books are
sent out to eager readers in remote dis
tricts every year. Mrs. Fargo died
about month ago, and her place has
been taken, at her own request, by Mrs
J. L. Chaplin, a member of the Church
Of Zion and st. Timothy. Hundreds of
good people in this city, and hundreds
elsewhere, have become interested in
this work, and the contributions of books
and magazines are steadily increasing.

parish house in East Forty-second street
is filled and sent away every now and
then, besides innumerable smaller pack

SILVER GALORE.
A Mining Excitement at
Lordsburg.
Ore Found Which Is Said to Be
Fabulously Rich.
Miners and Spectators Pouring In
to the Town.
The Location Four Miles North of
Lordsburg-The Story Told by
Lucky Drummer william
LOwden's Letter.

Lordsburg is in the midst of min
ing excitement, and the thrifty little
place, which has not had very event
full career since the joyous days of the
boom, is said to be most lively town.
Miners have been rushing in there for
the past few days at great rate, and
the place is full of hustle and excite
ment. The reason OF it all is explained
in the following letter, received here
last evening:
LoRDsBURa, March 20, 1892.
EDITORS HERALD: An old-time miner
has struck what ia supposed to be the
old Hines mine, due north of Lordsbufg,
in the foothills. The specimens of ore
are very good. 1t assays $500 to the
ton. There is great excitement here,
and old-time miners are arriving from
all points. WILLIAM LowDEN.
Further details of the find were
learned last evening from Mr.. ]. H..
Millzner, the discoverer of the ledge,
who returned from the camp last night.
II was driving along the road near
Lordsburg yesterday" said Mr.. MILF
ner to HERALD reporter, "and had
picked up an old fellow and was giving
him a ride. He happened to be a
miner, and we were talking about ores,
when boy came along the road Juggling
some pieces OF rock. asked him where
he got them from, and he described the
place to me. He showed me the pieces
of rock that he had, and it nearly
drove me crazy. Why, it was nothing
but silver. The old man who was rid
ing with me looked at it, and at once
sized it up. Well, sir, we just raced our
horse to the nearest store and bought a
pick and shovel, and then travelled at a
2 10 gait to the place described by the
boy.
"We got out and nosed about, and 1
found the ledge without any difficulty.
We scraped the earth from off it for a
distance of about eight feet and found it
was indeed bonanza. Here's some Of
it," and the expectant millionaire un-
did package and showed number of
pieces of ore to the reporter. 1t is of
very eoft texture, crumbling easily in
the fingers.
81 traced the ledge for 300 feet, and
found it all of the same quality.
made location and hunted up three
friends of mine, H. R. Parker, Guy K.
Woodward and H. G. Mcdonald, and
hurried them out there, and we have all
made adjoining claims. The hanging
wall is quartzite and the foot wall is
granite. There is silver enough there to
make it cheap as mud. There is a
stream of water within few feet, and it
is within short distance of the Santa
Fe road 80 the place has all the features
to make of it a model camp"
Mr.. Millzner is commercial traveller
in the employ of Patrick Brothers of
this city. He was in Lordsburg entirely
on business, and his find was piece of
pure good luck.

THEY HAVE QUIT.
COMPANY A, SEVENTH REGIMENT,
WITHOUT OFFICERS.
The Captain and Two Lieutenants Send
Their designations to Adjutant- Gen
eral Allen-What Will the Harvest Be?

The Seventh regiment will soon be in
an innocuous condition, as the strife owe,
the appointment of Col. w. H. H. Rus.
sell to the command of the regiment
grows apace.
Last night the officers of Company A,
consisting of Capt. F. A. Martin, Lieut..
Henry Steere and Lieut.. Frank L. Bald
win, forwarded their designations to
Adjutant- General Allen, the document
taking the following form:
Los ANGELES, March 20, 1892.
Brig. Gen. c. C. Allen, Adiutant- General of Cal
ifornia;
SIR: l have the honor to tender here
with my resignation as officer of the
National Guard of California.
cannot without sacrificing my self
respect eerve uuder the command OF Col.
w. H. H. Russell.
Charges have been preferred against
Colonel Russell, charging him with
conduct unbecoming an officer. and a
gentleman in attempting illegally to
take command of the regiment, and in
threatening Lieutenant Alfonso. The
other officers of the opposition party to
Colonel Russell state that they will
await the action of General Dimond on
these charges. If he entertains them,
they say that will result in Colonel Rus
sell being ordered under arrest, which
will relieve him of the command, and
before the red tape requirements of mil.
itary procedure can be complied with
his term will have expired. If the
charges are not entertained, the officers
will then resign.
The resignation of Company A's Off
GERS, it Is claimed, effects the very con.
dition of things which was used BY
Governor Waterman to depose Colone
Russell, as it virtually disbands the
company: as it reduces it's membership
below the legal minimum; if the COM
pany is dsbanded, that makes
the regiment simply battalion,
not entitled to colonel, but under
the command of lieutenant-coloilel
and this, it is argued, would remove
Colonel Russell from his command.
Governor Waterman, it will be remem.
bered, transferred one of the companies
of the Seventh to another regiment,
thus taking Colonel Russell's Office from
him. The company was then placed
again in the Seventh, and Colonel
Schreiber was elected.
Whatever the outcome may be. the
present condition of things is very bad.
The regiment is in demoralized condi
ton, and nothing but chickering's and
contention appears to be the prospect.
