been discovered on Forty Mile creek,
and there is no abatement in placer
mining. Shipments of bullion since
1882 aggregate 1,077, ,430; free gold,
So, ,900,540; sulphur, etc, s9l6,24l,
making grand total of s3,s16,lS2.

A .ROMANCE.
After Thirty-five Years of Ostra cism
Prince is Restored to Social Rights

Prince is Restored to Social Rights.
The romance in the life of Prince
Rudolph of Thurn and Taxis is about
to terminate in his restoration to his
social and cOurtly privileges. In 1857,
when but twenty-five years old, the
prince scandalized the best blood of
the continent by marrying secretly
Jenny Staendier, an eighteen year
old girl of beautiful face and figure,
but Of no family. His family was
furious and tried to have the marriage
annulled. The prince, however, was
loyal to his bride. He was then
deprived Of his hereditary rights and
was Ostracised from the society of the
nobility. He lived happily with his
wife, and made no effort to regain
his lost social position. He reared
several children of great personal
beauty, and with them and his wife
he passed most of his time without
interest for court or politics. Occa-
sional efforts to reconcile him with
his family were shattered on his
Indifference and their bitterness.
To-day, however, contemporaneously
with the announcement of his
daughters engagement to a dis
tinguished diplOmatist, it is stated
that his family have relented; that
he will be restored to his hereditary
rights, and that all his old friends
and acquaintances have raised the
social boycott to which they have
subjected him and his family for
thirtY-fiYe years.

POLITICAL.

Minnesota democrats and populists
have fused on five of the nine
electors.
The Mormons of Idaho declare that
they will not make an attempt to
vote at this election.
The state committees of the
Republicans and Democrats have
opened schools of instruction in
every voting precinct of Indiana.
The editors and proprietors of the
Columbus, Ind, Herald, democratic
paper, have ensued for $4,000 for
charging a man with ballot box
stutfing.
Fusion in Wyoming has been
perfected. The democrats will
support Weaver electors, and the
peoples party the democratic state
ticket. In some counties mixed
tickets will be placed where they
failed to agree locally.
The Cincinnati Post prints an
open letter addressed to the national
committees of the four political
parties of the country, requesting
permission to examine from time to
time the campaign fund books
through a committee of independent,
fair-minded men of national
reputation. This is to prevent
bribery
A. Nevins Pomeroy, editor of the
Chambersburg, Pa, Reporter, has
made an affidavit before a notary
public that the democratic party
will endeavor to cast the electoral
vote of Pennsylvania for Cleveland
by withholding the ballots from
republican counties until too late to
be printed for election day.

A distinguished lady has been
writing a nespaper letter about leap
year, telling the public of several
instances wherein the woman took
advantage of her privilege and popped
the question, and the couples, were
married and lived happily ever after.
But the distinguished lady is certainly
misinformed on one point. She says
one of the husbands wasa brilliant
young journalist, too modest to ask
the girl to marry him because She
was rich and he was poor, and did
not think he was much of d fellow
anyhow. 1t could not have been a
journalist 1t might have been a
preacher or timid lawyer, but not a
Journalist. There never was a news
paper man too bashful to pop the
question, or one so modest that he
did not think himself quite good
enough for any woman alive. Oh, no.
1t never was newspaper man.

In Vienna something novel is to be
tried in the way Of entertainment.
The tastes of the "wOrking classes
are to be studied carefully, and then
theater will be started designed
especially to meet their wants and
degree of intelligence. One does not
know what the Vienna ''wOrking
classes" will do with this theater
that is graded down to their taste,
but it is to be hoped that they will
mob it and tear it down. 1t is a
reflection on the intelligence Of the
average citizen that he cannot under
stand and enjoy as good style Of
entertainment as the dudes and
fashionable women. In America
some of our most distinguished inter
prefers, even of Shakespeare, began
life as mechanics. John Mccullough
was carpenter before he became an
actor. 1t must be remembered, too,
that even in Europe some of the
working classes are no slouches in the
way of Shakespearean acting. Sweet
Adelaide Nelson was a barmaid.

A BRAKEMAN'S GOOD LUCK.
He viii Soon Come Into Possession of a
Big Estate.

Henry Leger, a brakeman on a
local freight train running into
Valparaiso, Indiana, is a young
Englishman who left years ago and
ceased to communicate with his
friends in England. Several years
have passed since Leger's grandfather
died in England, leaving real estate
and personal property worth more
than 1926, 900. The direct living heir
was young Harry Leger, and he did
not know of his good fortune. More
distant relatives and others put in
claims and obtained control of the
property. A few months ago Mr..
Leger, through correspondence
learned how the case stood. He
placed the matter in the hands of a
United States district attorney of
New York, who began work with
good results, and has notified Mr.
Leger that at the expiration of the
present lease upon his grandfather's
estate, in February, 1893, he can have
possession of the whole, free of
incumbrance. The real estate is
valued at S2l2,O0O and the cash
amounts to $4,000. Mr.. Leger will
resign as freight brakeman and
proceed to England to enjoy himself.

WHEN MEAT is DONE.
The Test and How to Apply It---Fertinent
Suggestions.


The orthodox rule for the cooking
of meat, fish and fowl is to allow
quarter of an hour to every pound;
vet this recipe needs to be mixed Wlth
brains. Some families like rarR,
others, well-done meats: again joint
may be unusually thick, or remarkably
thin: again, full grown and mature
meats, such as beef and mutton, are
best with red gravy oOzing from them;
while immature or white meats, such
as lamb, veal, pork, etc, are ABSOLUTELY
dangerous, unless done through to the
bone. A good rule is to allow twelve
or fifteen minutes, according to the
taste of the family and the thickness
of the Joint for the cooking OF every
pound of pork, veal, lamb, ham, bacon,
fish and every kind of fowl.
Accidents happen, however: the
oven may be too hot or too cold, the
fire too slow. and-What not: so cook

sufficiently cooked. How can this, be
done? BY carefully observing the
appearance of the meat around the
center bone or bones. If the learner
be in doubt the blade of knife can
be run in about half an inch, to the
bone, and the meat slightly raised
examined for a moment or two.
After one or two trials this will be
found to be infallible method. 1t is
quite right that next to the bone beef
and mutton should be red and juicy
but if the beef be blue or the mutton
has that strange, raw look peculiar to-
mutton that has just felt the heat of
the fire, the .oint needs little more
cooking: while white meats should be
white, even to the bone, with the
exception, perhaps, of lamb, which
many people prefer with little pinky
juice oozing through.

In the late test Of torpedo guns
made by the navy department a
torpedo that will run at the rate Of
twenty-eight miles an hour for nearly
half a mile was fred from the guns
on the torpedo boat Cushing. The
missile plunged under water fifteen
feet from the Gushing and spun along
800 feet, when it rose to the sarface.
This was to test, not the torpedo, but
the guns, and every test made Of the
guns has thus far proved satisfactory.
The torpedo in war will be loaded
with 12O pounds of gun cotton.

quantities of carbonic acid gas set
free in the atmosphere by the con-
sumption of coal in thousand cities,
taken in connection with the deS-
tructiOn of forests, the leaves of
which naturally consume this
unhealthful eXhalation, is having a
bad effect on the worlds health.
Certain scientific people think this
matter of sufficient Importance to
invite careful investigation.

week that the Press News association
which has been furnishing several
papers of the country with an excel

continue business. 1t will be hoped
that this rumor is untrue as the

Now that Crespo is installed as
president Of Venezuela, surrounded
by a provisional cabinet of his own
choosing, while Pulido, the deposed
president, is On his way to Europe,
there is some prospect of at least a
brief period of quiet for the distracted
country. Crespo has shown himself
an able and vigorous man Of affairs so
far as military management is
concerned, and his great popularity
with the masses gives promise Of a
successful administration after he
shall have been constitutionally
chosen as the head of the government
by the congress which will shortly

rms is not due to any corner" but
TO the stoppage of the supply of rags
from abroad. When the rag supply
was cut off the mills were found with
llght stocks on hand. The lack of
rags and the increased demand
caused by the campaign were causes
bringing about the present advances.
Another cause was found in the fact
Illat bleaching powders have risen

England and were discovered to be a.
powerful disinfectant and tons have

Postofiice Report.

Postmaster General Wanamaker's
forthcoming report to congress is
being looked forward to with great
interest by the telegraph and express
companies. The report will recon-
mend in strong terms postal tele-
graph, but Mr.. Wanamaker does not
believe parcel post is feasible at this
time. He does not think well, either,
OF the proposition to operate a
pneumatic tube mail service between
neighboring cities. The postmaster
general does not believe the time has
yet arrived for reduction of letter
postage to one cent. He will say in
his report that such reduction
would entail an annual loss of from
$40, 900, 900 to $25, ,00OO 900. In this con-
nectiOn he will call attention to the
amount of matter carried by the
postal service free for the government,
and the loss of $4,000, 900 or l4,OOO,-
600 annually on the newspaper mail.
He will report satisfactory expert
ments with the country free delivery
and house-tO-hOuse collections and
will recommend their extension. lie
will say the adoption of the postal
telegraph and telephone service is
only question of time, and he
believes the government could a!Tuld

miles from Chicago before he sells
his carload. He is charged the car
load rate of the furthest point and an
agreed amount for switching and
trackage room for each stop. Usually
this charge is S5 for each stop and the
privilege Of delaying the shipment a
day or less. The system has spread
to fruit of all kinds, and country
towns around Chicago are largely
supplied in this way.

Peddling by railroad train is the
latest expression of western enterprise.
It is an infant indusry just now, but
the Chicago Herald says it is growing

produce between points which are
not large enough to absorb carload
shipments. For instance, an enter

with a carload of bananas. He may

An ODDOrtunity to possess til

An opportunity to possess the
remains Of Christopher Columbus
has been rendered to the United States
and declined. The offer came from
the president of San Domingo, who
proposed to pawn the ashes of the
great discoverer for loan Of 800, ,O00
The indelicacy of such transaction
seems to have had less weight with
the official making the offer than the
financial gain involved, but the fact
that it was declined by our govern
ment is a matter for congratulation.
AS voluntary contribution on the
part of San Domingo to the worlds
fair exhibits the remains of Columbus
might have been gratefully and
reyerentially received, but as an
article of barter and sale, or as secur-
ity for borrowed money, the proposal
was in bad taste and its rejection
altogether gratifying.
