Tie FOndest Hope Of Every Geologlst.

Every geologist in the West, or at.
least every one who says his prayers at.
oil, goes down on his knees every night.
aud prays that he may discover vein of
Autograph stone. There is only one.
quarry of this precious material in the.
United States, and that is somewhere in
the Northeast. The best stone comes,
from Germany, and is so valuable and
expensive tlSt the discovery of even a.
small vein would prove the fortune of
the finder. The biologists are convinced
that there must be an abundance OF this.
material somewhere in the United States.
and 80 keep sharp lookout on any newly
discovered stone, for vein Of the lith-.
ograph stone would be worth more to its,
owner than q gold mine.-St. Louis
Globe democrat.

a Fisherman Hooks a Whnle.

William Carson is high line among.
the fishermen of this county for this,
season. He was out on one of the tugs.
one week ago Saturday, and with the:
crew of the tug was engaged in taking
halibut on the banks about three miles
west of the bar. After catching forty
pound halibut, several small ones and III
few soles, Mr.. Carson hooked something
that s'walked" away with his line in o
steady manner. He called for assis-
lance, and with the captain and one. of,
the tugs crew the result was the same;.
the line steadily walking away FROM three
of them. A turn was then taken afoundi
one of the bits, when as the strain in.
creased it was seen that the tug was
swinging to the strain, and the line at:
the same time appeared to be moving to-
ward the surface.
Judge of the surprise of Mr.. Carson,

to the surfaces and blew about two hun
dred feet from the tug, with the line.
fastened to one of his hukes. With a.
sudden lurch of the tug the line parteda
near the bit to which it was fastened,
and went flying through the air in the,
direction of the whale. The whale stayed
close around the tug for couple Of
hours and was struck with chunks of
coal and shot at, to which he paid NO
attention whatever.
After Captain Nelson had stuck hims
and lost his line also, the tug steamed q.
couple of mile farther out to get away
from him, as besides getting away with,
the line he had so disturbed the fish that
they would not bite Humboldt Gall

The Texas Way Of Preserving Milk.

There are many ways of preserving
milk so as to keep it sweet, but ono Of
the most satisfactory is that which is at,
present practised at IN establishment in
Texas. TIE milk, fresh from the COW,
is subjected to boiling heat, and after
oil the air has been expelled from it the
cans are Theoretically sealed. When the
process was first invented, about fifteen
years ago, several dozen bottles we're.
sealed up. Every year some of these are
opened, and after fifteen years. keeping
the milk has, in every case, been found
perfectly fresh.-New York Dispatch.

THE PRESIDENT RETiCENT.
Chilean Matters in Statu Quo---Sen-
ate and House Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Aldrich
yesterday succeeded in putting on record
in favor of maintaing the parity between
gold and silver all the members of the
Senate finance committee, except Senators
Jones and Voorhees,. The resolution of
Senator Teller in favor of bi-metallic
conference to fix the ratio between gold
and silver, and provide for the free coin
age of silver, was taken uD, but substi-
tute was adopted, which Senator Aldrich
offered.
The most important change made by
Senator Aldrich was in providing for the
wider use OF silver and the adoption Of n
ratio by agreement among the powers,
which would require legislation 10 carry
it out, instead of authorizing the Presi-
dent TO proclaim the new ratio without
the consent of Congress.
Eight of the members of the committee
were present, and Senator Sherman, who
was absent, indicated his approval OF the
approval of Senator Aldrich. The substI-
tute was adopted unanimously.

The FINANCIAL NEWS.


Money Is easy to-day at 5ll per cent.
The list presents more offers this morn

stocks. The sale of American National
Bank at Az shows the strong tone OF the

American Screw is still gaining Those
who predict 800 are becoming more and
more common as the situation becomes
better known.
ter price than for some months. The
strength is due TO the rumors OF the in
crease in capital stock. IL is said on the
sire, that application is TO be made 10
the present Assembly for an increase OF
$4,000 in capital, thus making the total
S50O,0O0 instead of s450,OOO, as it now
stands Part of these rumors are true
and perhaps well founded, but the facts
are not exactly in accord with some Oh
the rumors.
IL is probable that an application will
be made To the General Assembly for an
increase of stock, but those who are aware
of the contemplated changes in the com
pany's location, the erection OF new
building on Snow street. the burial oil The
wires and the addition of complete metal

begin the improvements. much less conf
plete them.
However the exact cost Is not so much
of Importance as the fact Of probable in
crease with the rights which will accru"
to stockholders Thus far the matter / .
not been brought up before the board
directors and officially, therefore, there S
little TO say. IL is not at present even known
whether there will be an increase OF
of stock or whether the money needed for
improvements will be borrowed. There
are a number of large holders who favor
the latter plan. Inasmuch as money
could readily be secured at 5 per cent and
the stock nets over 81 per cent at the pres
ent price, the plan of borrowing would
seem 20 be the best one in the long run for
the intrinsic value of the stock, but 1t
would not be apt to increase its price at
present.

Mrs Harpreayes, stolen Pearls,

LONDON, Jan. 27-A new and most un-
pleasant feature in the Osborne-Ha
greaves stolen pearls case has developed.
Capt. Osborne, the husband OF the lady
who has practically been convicted OF
stealing Mrs. Hargreaves' jewelry, has
forwarded TO the treasury the sum of e55O,
the amount paid by Messrs. spins & Sons.
the jewellers who purchased the pearls
from Mrs. Osborne.
This money was TO be refunded TO the
jewellers, who have already given up the
pearls to Mrs. Hargreaves. But the police
authorities decline to give no possession
of the endorsed bank notes by which the
identity of Mrs Osborne as the person who
sold the pearls 10 Messrs. Sphinx x Sons
was established.
Thus new trial may he looked for.
Capt. Osborne is doing everything pos
sible to protect his wife. but in spite Of
this the police are confident that they
will soon have her in custody, and it is in
tended TO press the case 10 the full extent
of the law
