WHAT PLATFORMS ARE
MADE FOR.

The latest story involving Henry
NJ. Teller, of Colorado, ia too good
to he lost.
1t seems that some time ago a
party OF democratic friends were
trying to tease the Senator because,
being free silver advocate, he
nevertheless stood upon and de-
Tended the republican platform.
Finally one of the party asked how
1t were possible to reconcile his
action with his principle, and
thereupon the Senator was remind
ed of story which, he fancied,
would answer his friends question.
"A rural friend and constituent
OF mine in Colorado" SAID Teller,
once boarded the railway train at
Greeley, and as he had to get out
at the next station, and further
more, as the train was pretty we'll
filled, he did not enter car, but
stood upon the platform on the
outside. While he was jogging
along, quietly admiring the
scenery, the rough, burly brake
man appeared, and told HIM that
he must get inside.
But don't want to, answered
my friend; it's pleasant enough |
ont here, and moreover I'm going
10 get out at the next station |
That doesn't make any diff
ierence,' urged the brakeman;
you'll have to get inside-that's
he rule OF the company and it's
,eremptory. Your place is in the
ar, not outside here
"My rural friend got rather
oiled at this. Well, says he ex-
itedly, what in hi are platforms

INTERE ES TING RELIC.

One OF the most interesting relics
of the late Civil War Is the piecs
OF white toweling that was used al
the flag OF truce when the Confed-
crate Army surrendered to Genel al
Grant at Appomattox. 1t is own
ed in this city by General K. w.
Whitaker, who was a member OF
General Clusters staff, and received
it from Captain Sims of Long
streets staff on the morning of
April 9, 1865. General Whitaker
has treasured it during ell these
years, and will display it the COM
ing Grand Army reunion. He was
induced to part with portion Of
it several years ago, when be gave
half of it to his old commander,
the late General Custer. Mrs.
Custer afterward gave the fragment t
to the museum at West Point. On
the small piece oftoweling appears
the following statement, sworn to
by General Whitaker before a
notary public. r
This is a peice Of the cloth cut
from the Identical flag OF truce
which was used under orders OF
General R. K. Lee to ask cessation
of hostilities of the Federal Army

sppomsttox Court House, Va.
This flag OF truce, large white

ry line Of battle and also the

WHERE ARNOLD LIVED.

One OF the most interesting struc-
lures in the city WAS demolished
yesterday, says the Philadelphia
Press. 1t was the very last OF the
old frame buildings on the whole
length of Market street from the
Delaware to the Schuylkill, and it's
history covers period OF country
and q quarter, and teens with
names OF famous men and the de-
tails OF famous events. A great
warehouse is to occupy the site, its
present owner, clothing merchant,
having acquired title to it very
recently.
In 1897 the property. not, how
ever, in the condition it afterward
assumed, passed into the hands OF
Jacob Hiltzheimer. When Bene-

BORAX.

The common form in which this
useful staple Is found in Death
Valley is that OF a white deposit,
where it lies spread out like q
snowy lake of desert mamma. The
necessity of the transportation OF
this article to the railroad for
markets has lately led to the con-
struction of wagons, whose
enormous size and remarkable
proportions render them worthy of
outside notice. The difficulties to
overcome in moving borax from
Death Valley were nither few nor
trifling. The distance from the
borax fields to Mohave, the nearest
railroad point. is l60 miles. The
entire distance IS unrelIeved by
the sight of a single habitation,
and but two or three springs OF
water are to be found along the
road.

BERGMAN GOES TO PRISON.

Chung presiding Bergman looked

not guilty to the six charges Of
felonious assault and battery enter
ing a building with felonions intent
and carrying concealed weapons.
He conducted his own case. A
jury was obtained with trouble and
the case was opened by District
Attorney Burleigh.
II. G, Frick was the first witness.
He told OF Bergman's visit to the
ol6ce previous to the shooting, and
recited IN graphic manner the
story OF the attempted assassina-
ton. The clothing worn by him
on the day OF the assault was ex-
hibited and was graesome sight.
The coat and trousers were bloody
and filled with holes. When they
were shown Bergman cody leaned
forward, but did not seem to take
any interest in the exhibit.
He was then sentenced to Il
years in the penitentiary on the
five charges of felonious assault
and entering a building with feIoni-
ous intent, and to the workhouse
for one year for carrying concealed
weapons. Bergman looked sullsn

AN ALUM NINE.

Recent reference to the natura
wonders OF Montana, particularly
the chicken broth and bi-chlorids
springs, brings to light others o.
equal magnitude. Col. John
Doyle's wonderful vinegar mine in
Reaver-head county, passes the
domain of doubt into the sunlight
OF truth. 1t is backed by crisp
affi'lavits, and affidavits cost 81
each in Montana.
The colonel and his partner did
not confine themselves to vinegar.
They discovered a mountain of
pure alum in the Beaver-head
range. The discovery was con-
sidered a ten strike and better
than a gold mine. They kept the
find secret for several weeks, dur
ing which q shaft was dug to the
depth of 200 feet. The cut was
made all the way through solid
vein of alum and it was estimated
that the whole mountain was COM
posed of it.
A large pile of the stuff was
heaped near the mine ready for |
shipment, antf the miners had a
scheme to flood the market with |
their product and rake in 81 ,0OO,-
900 at one fell swoop. Last week
the colonels partner went up town
to lay in supply of grub, and the
former remained to guard the
treasure. --.-- -.-

rain began falling and continued
