THE CITY BOND SALE.
A Legal Technically Interrupts
Pending Negotiations.

The attention of THE News repor.
tor was called to the publication, in
this mornings Day, that the North
western Mutual Life Insurance COM
psny, of Milwaukee, had written a
letter to Mr.. Hawkins, chairman of
the finance committee, declining to
take the last issue of street improve
meut bonds according to its offer.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed that
publicity of this matter should have
been made at this time.
The reporter call upon Mr.. Hawk
ms to learn more about the matter,
and was informed that he had received
letter from the parties with whom
negotiations for the sale of the bonds
are pending ADD they haG declined to
take the street improvement bonds,
on technical grounds.
He says that the offer Of 50 cents
for the bonds was made with the pro
viso that upon examination they
proved to be all right. They
We're submitted to the attorney
of the company who has raised
technical objection to them upon
which they decline to purchase. He
states that he objection raised is not
as to the price, as from the pubica.
ton the impression could easily be de-
duced, and that the negotiations, at
tie price offered, is still pending for
the sewer bonds, which are being ex-
amiued by the company's attorney,
and will be taken if they show up all
right.
He states further that for pruden-
tial reasons, it was particularly Inder'
stood between the mayor and alder
men that this matter should not be
made public for the present and that
he considers the violation of this
compact very unwise act.
Alderman Lacy also thinks that the
giving of the mater to reporter was
very indicreet and expresses the fear
that it will be a great damage to the
city in dollars and cents.

Gently brought out the street contrac =
tors from all parts of the country.
Waco was in it, represented by Mr..
Ookander, the genius of street paving
in this city. Mr.. O,kander's bid was
the lowest of all the large number
opened and he will most likely get the
contract. There is no one here but
would be pleased to hear that he had
secured it. His excellent, conscien-
tiouS and skilful work on the Waco
streets, arc tribute of honor to a
most worthy man, who if he has erred
in his own work has never erred III
his own favor. His work has always
been little better than that nomin
ated in the bond.

The Persian Shah'S Treasury.

Sir Henry DrummOnd Wolf obtained
permission for Mrs. Bishop, the author
ess, to visit the Persian Shah's "DIu-
scum, or treasure house. She says Of
it:
"The proportions of the room are
perfect. The floor is of fine tiles OF ex-
quisite coloring, arranged as mosaic. A
table is overlaid with beaten gold, aud
chairs in rows are treated in the same
fashion Glass cases round the room
aud on costly tables contain the fabu-
Ious treasures Of the Shah and many of
the crown jewels.
"Possibly the accumulated splendors
of pearls, diamonds, rubie', emeralds,
sapphires, basins and vessels of solid
gold, ancient armor flashing with prec-
ious stones, shields studded with dia-
monds and rubie', scabbards and
sword hiIts incrusted with costly
gems, helmets red with rubies,
golden rays and vessels thick with dia-
monds, crowns OF jewels, CHAINS, orna-
ments (masculine solely of every
description, jeweled coats of mail, dating
back to the reign oi Shah Ismael, ex-
quisite enamels of great antiquity, all in
profusion not to be described, have no
counterpart on earths They are dream
of splendor not to be forgotten.
"Among the extraordinarily lavish
uses of gold and gems is golden globe,
twenty inches in diameter, turning on
frame Of solid gold. The stand and
meridian are of solid gold set with
rubies. The equator aud elliptic are of
large diamonds. Tho countries arc
chiefly outlined in rub;es, but Persia is
in diamonds. The ocean is represented
by emeralds. As if all this were not
enough, huge gold coins, each worth
Sl65, are heaped round its base, -

Orlqin of a Noted Zinc Mine.

The late DR.. Roepper, we'll known to
mincralogists, in ramble met team
dragging plow near the road. A talk
with the driver brought out the fact that
his farm was cursed with stones, and a
sample was tossed over the fence to tie
doctor. 1t was recognized as a mass OF
quartz carrying calamiue-a silicatc OF
zinc. The fence was climbed and the
two followed the plow forward and back
across a field covered with similar masses.
Had the doctor been shrewd he would
have bought the farm and diel rich
man. AS he was only an honest lover OF
nature, he said only few words to the
plowman that transformed an exhausted
Pennsylvania farm into the seat OF the
Ueberroth mine, that set in operation
the extensive zinc works Of Bethlehem,
Penn, and built the president "A

Park will easily recall the excitement
caused eighteen months ago by the re-
port that it was disintcgrating. Unlor-
tunateiy the concern and interest were
apparently only ephemeral, and the rec
ommendations of the specialists who
examined the condition of the monu-
meut to insure its preservation for future
generations have been disregarded up to
the present time. But naturally, there
has been no change for the better in
the condition of the Obelisk in the years
that have passed by. On the contrary,
it is the opinion Of experts that prompt
action for the preservation of the monu-
ment is imperative, il its American ex-
istence is to be at all comparable in point
Of years to the hundreds of decades
which it passed in the land of the Nile.
The people of New York will never
cease to regret the treatment, or lack of
treatment, to which the Obelis& was sub
iected after its arrival in New York. For
four years, in the belief that it was as
safe in the hard climate of America as in
the softer one of Egypt, nothing was
done to protect it from the effects of
nature and its own natural tendency to
decay. Great blocks Of the valuable
stone were lost or crumbled away. And
the "scrapings' which it received when
the first coat of parafiine was applied to
it, years ago, nlyadded to the substance
lost. In fact, it is said, that more than
700 pounds Of stone have fallen, or been
taken from the Obelisk, since its erec-
ton in New York.-New York Tribune.
