CHINESE sWoRDsMITHs.
Some Rem srkable Products of Their
Skill-Two- bladed Swords.

Some emsrkable Products of Their
Skill-Two-ol aded Swords.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Though DR.. Bedloe the United States
consul to Annoy, China, has started back to
his post after his leave of absence, yet
through the delays incident to the shipping
of goods from such far-off lands and IN
getting them through the custom house
SOME of his most Interesting and valuable
relics arrived only few days ago.
In his room at the Bellevue a reporter
found the genial consul resting contentedIy
after his breakfast, as his eye roved con-
templatively over a number of the most
deadly and awful weapons ever conceived
or executed by man. When asked about
these curiously ugly swords the doctor said :
~ was asked TO execute a commission for
the Rev. DIR. q. NJ. Shepherd, the dstin-
guished Nebraska divine, a gentleman who,
though a man of peace, has one of the finest,
If not the tne very best collections OF
swords and other weapons in the world.
This led TO my examining several hundred
rare and curious weapons sent me for I'M
| inspection and approval, and these are few
of those ! selected. No two are alike, and
not one but what displays rare skill and in
ventive power on the part Of the Chinese
swordsmith.
THE handsomest of all is generals
sabre about 4 "a feet long, slightly Japan
ese in style, with an edge like razor and a
point that would extort admiration from
Col. Jack Chin of Louisville, KY. Unlike
our own, the thickest part of the blade is
the center. This gives great weight to the
weapon, Joined to the appearance of ex-
treme lightness. The scabbard is made of
! hard, tough wood, lacquered to represea t
! black iron incrusted with mother of pearl
The hilt is Of black iron moulded in the
| form Of full-blown rose, the petals of
which have been drilled with small holes
and these filed with bright brass bars.
1.-The most curious of the lot to my ere is
| the so-oalled warriors two bladed sword
from Holman. 1t is only about 2 feet long
and in the scabbard looks very like the
sword bayonet of our own army. The scab-
bard is PLAIN but very neat and covered
with white shagreen or shark skin and
trimmed with brass mountings. Whom you

A MORMON S. GOLD PIaoE,
Quite Rare Now, Though Brigham

From the New York Recorder.

From the Nep York Recorder.
County Commissioner Ballard of San
Francisco Is the possessor OF a rare and
curious gold coin. which fell into his hands
In California in 1919. It is a Mormon s.
piece, and for many years has been EN-
ployed as charm or bangle on Mr.. Ball
lard's fob chain.
The owner Yves himself forty-niner, and
took part in the scenes OF the early gold ex
element in California. He says that the Nor
mons, who were among the earliest in the
gold fields, returned to Salt Lake with great
quantities Of the precious yellow Dust.
Much gold also found its way to Utah

who was at that time running little gov
erument in his own account established a
mint and coined probably $1,000, 900 in as
gold pieces These coins verv soon found
their way to California and passed current,
At that early date, Mr.. Ballard says, the
coins we're welcomed as a great convenience
in matters Of exchange. The metal in the
coins was unalloyed-so soft and pure, in
fact, that 1t wore away very rapidly. On
this account they soon disappeared from
circulation almost as rapidly as they had
appeared.

Below the clssped hands are the words

ing his coin. Once be sccidently lost the
Keepsake, but was lucky enough to find il
again. Another time a thief got into his
house and took all the money from his
pocketbook except this odd-looking coin,
which, at a glance, resembles trunk check.
This was more than twenty years ago. Mr..
Ballard then attached it to his morocco fob
chain, which is anchored 10 an old-fashioned
silver watch, the movement of which is also
dated lS49. Another of these rare coins Is
preserved in the national museum at Wash

THE LIONS DEN.
One OF California's Wonders Not Yet
Fully Explored.

ruby h8ploreds
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
On the north side of Table mountain and
near its top is an opening in the lava that
has since the early days been known as the
Lions Dsn.n
1t was so named from the fact that for
years it was the lair of band of ferocious
California lions, TINT, when the country
was largely devoted to sheep raising, made
mighty depredations upon the flocks aud
caused tho owners much annoyance and
loss. When pursued the animals would
seek refuge In this den AMI no hunter
would dare to enter it.
The ground about the entrance was COW
cred with the bones and remnants of sheep
and other animals. With the increase of
population the lions have gradually disap-
peared, although as late as last spring two
Of the animals were seen to enter the cave.
Strange to say, no known man has ever
penetrated this cave to Its fullest depth.
The mouth is about four or five feet high
and three feet wide and the opening de-
sends with sharp incline for about 200
feet. Further than this has never been ex-
plored. Now, however, a party of young
men have made arrangements to explore
it and, If possible, penetrate to its bottom.
That it is of great depth Is certain, for one
can stand at the opening and heave great
stones down the declivity and the sound
will gradually die away in the distance.
The young men have procured several
hundred feet OF ropes, torches and ladders
and will thoroughly explore the cavern.
What adds a peculiar interest to the ex-
petition and gives zeal to the explorers is
the well-known fact that in the heyday of
his career as bandit Joaquin Murietta and
his band of faithful followers made the re-
cesses Of Table mountain the base of their
operations in this section.
From there they would swoop down on
the miners, and then, laden with gold dust,
retreat to the mountain. Search as they
might the officers could not locate them. It
has been supposed by many this same cave
was where the famous outlaw seoreted him
self. -
IL may be, too, that deep down in the
bowels Of the earth Joaquin hid the greater
portion OF his ill-gotten but nevertheless
just as potent wealth

are easily discernible with the use of a

"Some time ago Mr.. Behrens attended the
sale Of the paintings of the late Justice
John r. Brady. He took fancy TO this
work and bought it for $50. He endeavored
to obtain history OF the work. but all the
executors could tell him was that Justice
Brady purchased it about two years ago in
Europe. The judge considered IL valua-

County and oity TaxeH

The county commissioners made a
slight change in the tax levy yester-
day, increasing the levy for general
school purposes from three mills to
three and one-half mills. The levy for
the road and bridge fund is one and
one-half mills instead Of one-half mill
az reported yesterday. This makes the
total levy as now established IA 47-50
mills, a. against II 37-40 last year, but
as the assessment this year Is made on
a lower basis and the aggregate Is over
S3,O 900 less than II was last year the
burden Of taxation is about the same.
Property within the limits of incorpor-
ated cities does not pay the road prop
erty or road and bridge tax, upon
which the total levy for county pur-
poses Is 10 22-50 mills, which added TO
the five mill city tax makes the levy on
city property for all purposes Is 22-5O
mills. City taxes are already delin-
quent but county taxes do not become
due until December and are not de-
iinquent until February Is. A dis
count Of 3 per cent. will be allowed on
all taxes paid prior TO January /.

mired. People who are taking a cur.
sorry glance over the works proceed all
right until they strike some Of our mas

A Mnstarious Death

81. JOSEPH, Nov. ll-Henry Plantze,
aged 25, recently appointed manager of
the Fredericks brewery, was found
this morning hanging 10 tree on
Julian Lstreet, near the Guadaloupe
bridge. His hands were tied behind
his back. His feet were tied together
and a handkerchief over his mouth.
The ground near the tree and for dis
tance of over thirty feet showed evil
dence of struggle. The affair thus
far is shrouded in mystery "a it is not
known what could have been the mo-
tive Of any one TO get him out of the
way. A diamond ring was found on
his finger and robbery is thought not
to furnish motive. Another report
says that it is believed he was attacked
by footpads, robbed and murdered,
his pockets being found turned inside
out and his watch and chain missing.
Plantze's parents live in San Fran
cisco, where his father is a well-known

81. PETERSBURG, Nov. LA hor-
rible story of cannibalism comes from
Besserobia. A woman named Aker-
mon, a giantess in stature and strength
applied for shelter at the house of a
peasant woman named Yoorcsh Sari-
era. They became friendly and the
peasant went out to get fresh supply
Of vodka. In her absense the woman
Akerman killed the PEASANTS baby,
sucked its blood and devourrd parts OF
It's body. AS the peasant re-entered
the hut she saw Akerman trying TO
kill her 3-year-old girl. The mother
tried TO defend her offspring, but the
giantess thrust her aside and killed the
little girl with a bludgeon. The peasant
left the raving maniac and tried TO kill
herself The neighbors after a desper-
ate struggle, in which many were
severely hurt, managed TO overpower
the giantess and tied her with ropes.
On the way to Jail the populace tried
to lynch her, but she was finally
landed in the lookup.
