"OLD CHRIS"
Queer Character Who IL Now Mormon
Missionarv.

Queer Character Who IL Now q Mormon
Missionary.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
The queerest character ever met is old
Chris Holgrave, Mormon missionary, who
lives in the Elk mountains, north of Laramie. ~
said Maj. Tom Breckinridge, president of tho
Story Tellers' Club in session at the Southern.
"Old Chris is well known throughout the
entire west. He formerly lived in Salt lake
City and was power in the church. but when
the split came on the question of polygamy he
cast his fortune with the Joe Smith Saints and
moved up into the Elk mountains. where be
has acquired worldwide fame as a trapper and
q rifle shot. Every spring, when the trap
ping season is over. he takes his staff and sets
forth to preach the gospel of one-wife Nor
monism. tramping over Wyoming. Idaho,
Colorado and Utah. He is a splendid specimen
of physical manhood, six feet one, straight as
an Indian, tough as spring steel, with long.
white hair and beard sweeping down below his
belt. He enjoys the reputation of having
killed more bears than any American living or
dead.
"A year ago last spring he brought into Lar
annie and sold 800 bearskins, the result of one
winters trapping. He was assisted, however,
by his three grown sons. Many of the skins
were those of enormous grizzlies that warmth
being extremely plentiful in the Elk mountains.
He IL marked all over with the teeth and Jaws
of bruin. bought An especially fine bearskin
of HIM, and he told me that the original owner
came very near getting the best of the scrim-
mage.
He said he was trapping along a narrow
mountain path. en- route to his traps, and in
making sharp turn he met bruin face to face.
He had with him savage wolf deg and mug
zle-losding rifle. To the left the mountain
arose abruptly and to the right was q chasm 800
feet deep, The foot path was but a ward wide
The dog sprang forward and attacked the bear,
but bruin cuffed him over into the chasm as
though he we're rabbit. Then he advanced
on the apostle Of the silver-plate revelation
Old Chris threw down on him, but his old rife
hung fire, and he only succeeded in wounding his
assailant. The bear rushed forward and he threw
it his fur cap 1t snufed at it, tore it into frag-
ments and cuffed them over the ledge That
gave Chris time to reload, and when bruin again
advanced he got bullet in the brain"

BLUECOATs IN FEAR,

Captains and inspectors Tremble in Expecta-
ton Of the Action of the Commissioners.
The police captains of New York city appear
to he just now alive to the fact that Superin-
tendent Byrnes was not blufing when he de-
hvered his New Year speech, in which he warned
them to attend to their business and keep the
disorderly houses and gambling places in their
precincts closed
The captains who have got themselves into
the mess are Capts. westervelt, Stephenson,
Brooks, Meakin and Dougherty. The probable
charge against them will be neglect OF duty.
Word also reached the inspector last Sunday
that three gambling Joints" existed in Harlem
in the precincts Of Capts. Meakim and Brooks.
Central Office detectives secured evidence and
on Monday night they received orders from the
superintendent to raid the places. But they
found the games tightly closed. Some one had
slipped or the gamblers
Mr.. Byrnss was anything but pleased, and
It is not at al likely that the closing of the
places at the proper time will have any effect
upon him regarding the report he viii make to
the police commissioner tomorrow.
Tho superintendent viii hardly make specific
charges against any Of the officers mentioned.
He will merely report tomorrow the facts Of his

CAPITOL TOPICS,

ELECTION OF SENATORS By THE PEOPLE.
The House committee On election Of the
President, Vice President and members of Con-
gress yesterday voted TO have its chairman call
up for consideration in the House on next sus-
pension day the joint resolution Of Mr.. Tucker
OF Virginia reported from the committee pro-
vlding for the election OF Senators By the direct
vote Of the people.
CHEAP POSTAGE.
Mr.. Lockwood OF New York has introduced in
the House a bill fixing at l cent per pound the
rate Of postage on all publications Of printed or
lithographic matter consisting Of show bills.
posters, advertising sheets, premium lists or
newspaper supplements OF any regularly incor-
porated agricultural, horticultural, medical or
industrial society or association. Provided. that
the societies have for their object the develop
ment OF superiority In the breeding OF horses,
cattle and live stock the announcement and
advancement Of agriculture or horticulture.
MurILArED PAPER CURRENCY.
The Speaker laid before the House yesterday
communication from Secretary Foster Of the
Treasury renewing his recommendation of last
year for the appropriation of $50, 600 for the
redemption of worn and mutilated paper cur
rency and the issue of new currency for it
In his letter submitting the proposition the
Secretary says that since July 1, 1888. no ex-
ment on worn or mutilsted currency sent to
the treasury for redemption and consequently
the condition Of the United States paper cur
rency in circulation throughout the country par
ticulsrly In places at a distance from the cities
wherethe subtreasury offices are located, has
gradually grown poorer each year. II is thought
that the bulk Of the worn notes would shortly
disappear from circulation and new notes be
substituted for them if Congress would provide
Tor the expense BY appropriating an amount
sufficient to place the currency in good con-
dition. If the whole amount asked for
100000 cannot be authorized he requires
that a portion Of it be made available.
NOTES.
The Secretary Of the Treasury has recon-
mended to the committee on appropriations
that the salary of the mail messenger of the
Treasury Department be increased from 81 600
to 81, 400.
The inspector general Of the army asks for
two additional laborers, at $500 each, in his
Office in the War Department

NORTH CAPITOL STREET,

Capt. RosselI Thinks There Is No Necessity
at Present for Its Extension.
Capt. Rossell this afternoon sent the follow
ing memorandum to the board relative to the
extension Of North Capitol street to the Sol
diers' Home:
There seems to be no necessity FOR OPEN
ing North Capitol street at the present
time. The advisability Of the measure rests
upon the prolongation of one Of the
most important streets in the
city to the Soldiers Home on the line Of which
the lexington and Soldiers Home railway pro-
poses and has charter to build its road as
soon as the same Is opened.
"Outside Of this I do not see why the matter
should not remain open until the general bill
for the extension Of the public highways is
passed.
Copies of previous reports upon the same
subject are also submitted, brief outlines Of
which have heretofore appeared in The STAB.
1t is understood that the Commissioners will
approve the above and send the same to Con-
gress as their report.

Important Gold Disbursements in France
MIR. Leech, director of the mint. has received
a cablegram from Paris, stating that the Bank
of France is disbursing gold heavily for the
reason that the lawful note issue has been
reached and also because of the recent large
withdrawal Of notes by banks and others 70,
the purpose of increasing their reserves.
1t is believed at the Treasury Department
that the large disbursements of gold by the
Bank Of France, which is directly contrary to
the policy it has pursued during the past ten
years, will have the effect to sensibly reduce
the export Of gold from the United States.
The Bank of France, it is stated, has $780,
100000 of gold in its vaults, the accumulation
of years.
