had brought her to this house and had
waited to meet her father.
He smiled sadly and said he had just
left notice at the police headquarters to
have the entire force on the lookout for
her; that two months before her brother
had been lost in attempting the ascent
Of the Matterhorn, and since that time
she had been a manaic; he was keeping
her confined in suite Of rooms at this
house, hoping that entire rest would re-
store her reason. He thanked me for
what had done and asked me to call
the next afternoon.
Having eaten my dinner very rapidly,
met Melville and we went to the opera
During the time between acts he told
me of his sad trip to Monte Carlo, and it
was not until we were slowly walking
up the Avenue de rOpera that I told him
of my unusual experience of the after
noon.
With shade Of that same strange
smile had before noticed he asked me
the appearance Of the man, and when
described him he half muttered, 81
thought So" Nothing more was said
for several blocks, when he suddenly
asked, the smile being fully developed,
"And where is my pin?" Iput my hand
tony cravat--the pin was gonel knew
that had wornit in the afternoon and
now it was missing. Melville noticed my
surprise and said again, 81 thought So"
After walking a moment in silence he
continued: "That pin was very highly
valued by one of Europe's most noted
gamblers. Some months ago, on account
of severe losses. he was compelled to part
with 1t at very low figure, as its real
value was not known. recently dis
covered it in pawnshop, recognized it
as having belonged to this gambler and
bought it for the ridiculous price OF 10
napoleons. One day I met its former
owner in the hotel. He recognized the
pin on my tie, looked wistfnlly at it, but
said nothing. Several times after that I
noticed rather pretty young lady
watching me very closely. You have
perfectly described both this woman and
the gambler Now you know where my
pin is"
said nothing; what could say2
But the next day called at "A at the
appointed hour. When presented my
card and asked for the gentleman, the
reply came: 'Ze zhentheman an hees
daughter go dees mornin, but 20 zhen-
theman leave 20 note for monsieur. ~
And she handed me an envelope contain
ing thousand franc note, upon one
corner of which was written, MANY
thanks for the PIN" Both Melville and
were satisfed.-T. @. B. in Pittsburg
Dispatch.

Elaborate Dinner aowns.

Dinner dresses are this winter ex-
tremely rich and magnificent. Velvet,
satin and brocade of gorgeous hues are
bordered with sable and priceless lace.
and gold and silver embroideries give adj
ditional brilliancy The bishops purple,
so much admired, keeps its color well
under artificial light and Is seen at its
best when subdued by the lights and
shades that play over the thick pile OF
Genoa velvet, and the same may be said
Of the moss greens and sapphire blues,
which are apt to look harsh and obtru-
sive in silk or satin. .-
Some of the paler tints, moonlight
blue, seagreen and cedar are also very
beautiful in velvet, as well as the shot
opalescent tones that defy description. =

Navigation ON the Nile.

3 From the beginning of winter to the
end Of spring that is, while the Nile Is
navigable--the north wind blows steadi-
iy up stream with sufficient force to
drive sailing boats against the current at
a fair pace, while, ON the other hand, the
current is strong enough to carry a boat
without sails down against the wind, ex-
cept when it blows gale. That is why
ancient Egypt did not need steam power
nor electric motors for the immense
commerce that covered the Nile, nor for
the barges carrying building material
for hundreds Of miles. -Harper's Young

4 SNOW LEGEND.

o yeclouds that float above me,
Dye winds that round me blow,
Can ye tell me from what quarter
Comes the driving snow?
From the north, inquiring maiden.
Where an old man. STOPPING low
BY his grate, mourns DER the ashes"
Said the winds that blow.
For the snowt1akes are the ashes
OF the summers glow.
sSee him as he stoops and shivers,
Rubs his wrinkled hands and sighs--
Just one ember left a-glowing,
And that ember dies;
Come back, summer, come and warm me
l am cold,' he cries.
"Then he catches up the bellows
Tries to make the embers glow;
Only sets the ashes whirling,
Dancing high and low.
And the ashes of the summer
Are the flakes Of snow"
Anna Temple in Youths Companion.

MADE A RUSH FOR WHISKY

Citizens of Charleston Stock Up in
Anticipation of the Evans Law.
The Evens liquor law went into effect
at midnight Friday night. During the
past thirty days the sales of liquors in
Charleston have been enormous and
eliminated in a rush to the wholesale
houses of thousands of whites and
negroes anxious to purchase a supply
of whisky at the cut price at which it
was offered. Many of the merchants
in the city have moved out of the state
and many more will follow. AS there
is no dispensary here the belief is that
the governor will keep his eye on this
city, for which he is said to have par
ticular hatred, and it is also said that
he already has twenty constables of the
secret service in the city. One of the
barrooms, it asserted, win openly VIC
late the law tomorrow, and counsel
have been evolved who hope to get
the case before the supreme court to
test the constitutionality of the law.
There are few houses in Charleston to-
night not provided with sufficient slim
ulants to last six months.

ing land unlimited after the word
Free" and the amendment, seeming to
have been anticipated by every one in
the hall, was carried with enthusiastic
unanimlty.
II. N. Mcguire declared in his remarks
that "should silver be entirely demone-
tized by the repeal of the Sherman law
and the failure to adopt an acceptable
substitute, then gold must be demone-
tized or we will be lost as a nation"
This wus greeted by marks OF approval
that showed a very strong sentiment
among the gathered hundreds in favor
of gold decentralization. A committee
now has the matter in hand of calling
an open air mass meeting to discuss the
expediency of demonetizing gold.

NEVADA TO THE FRONT.
Every Community Asked to Join in
the Great Silver Fight.

The chairman of the state central
committee of the silver party of Ne
vada issues the following: The gold
bugs, with Grover Cleveland at their
head, are making a most determined
effort to have the Sherman law re-
pealed at the extra session of congress
and gold standard permanently fixed
upon this country. Intimidation and
bribery and execution of threats are
their weapons. The friends of silver in
nearly all of our sister states are ener-
getically organizing for conflict. Shall
Nevada lag behindl She was foremost
of all states in her loyalty to the silver
cause in the late presidential campaign.
y is time she was heard from In the
present crisis. Let every club in the
state and every election precinct meet
in convention in their respective locali-
ties and pass resolutions in earnest
protest against the repeal of the Sher-
man law, unless a free coinage bill be
substituted, and forward the same to
our senators and representatives in con
gress. 1t has been suggested that a
state convention be called, but on &C
count of the great expense such conven-
tion would entail upon the delegates.
and because 1t is better to have an ex-
preston of the people in each neighbor-
hood in mass meeting, we most earnest
ly urge the adoption of the latter plan,
and to secure unanimity of action we
advise that such meetings be held Sat
urday, the 18th instant. 1t is of the
highest Importance thai the American
Bimetallic League is to be convened at
Chicago the first day of August and we
suggest that the silver leagues of each
county, so far as possible, name a dele
gate to that meeting.

Thirty one Miles an Hour.

]. NJ. Stout, formerly superintendent
of construction of the Northern Paci-
ic railroad, and the Union Pacific
branch which was built into Spokane,
has been appointed assistant to Road
master Donovan of the Great Northern
railroad, and will have charge of the
entire line between Spokane and the
Columbia river. He left yesterday
with work train and a force of men
to distribute material for ballesting and
to do surfacing work. Mr.. Stout thinks
the Great Northern roadbed, so far as
completed, is the finest in the United
States. Trains are now making 81
miles an hour.

DUMPED WHEAT IN THE LAKE
Twelve Thousand Bushels CT Wet
Grain disposed of Near Cleveland.

Twelve thousand bushels of wheat
were dumped overheard six miles off
barber by the steamer Sitka under
peculiar circumstances. The Sitka
loaded 10000 bushels of Canadian wheat
at Fort William, on Lake Superior last
week bound for Buffalo to 90 in bond
across the United States to the ocean
steamer in New York. She ran on a
reef on Lake Superior and $4,000 bush
els of her cargo were wet. When she
arrived at Buffalo the customs author
tiles demanded the full duty of 25 cents
a bushel on the wet grain as if it were
sold foruse in the United States. There
was no way to get it back into Canada
without paying the Canadian duties.
The best offer the underwriters could
get for the grain was 90 cents a bushel
Captain w. H. Rounds, who went to
Buffalo for the Chicago underwriters
who had the risk on the cargo, found
that the only way to do was to throw
the stuff in the lake. The Sitka reached
here this afternoon, and taking a large
number of laborers on board, went into
the lake far enough to be beyond effect
ing the water supply, and the grain
without country went into the water.

GUILFORD MILLER CASE.
The Previous Decision Affirmed in
Part by Secretary Smith.


The celebrated "Guilford Miller" case
which involves the rights of many set
tiers on railroad grants, has received
an official ruling. Upon the motion for
review in the'case of Charles Cole VS..
the Northern Pacific company, which
involves the ruling of the department
in the case of the Northern Pacific VS..
Guilfor Miller, and in which counsel for
the railrrad company asked that the
decision in the Guilford Miller case be
reversed, Secretary Hoke Smith affirmed
the decision Of the department hereto
fore rendered in the last named case,
so far as it held that the statutory with
drawal provided for by the sixth sec
tion of the act of July 2, 1864, to the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
upon filing map of it's general route,
became effective in Washington terri
tory when the map of July 30, 1870, was
filed and approved, and said withdrawal
once exercised was thereby exhausted
and could not be repeated. The secre-
tary holds that the second filing, made
May 21, 1872, in said territory, was
without validity or sanction of law,
either as an executive or legislative
withdrawal. He further held that the
map of July 30, 1870, in the then terri
tory, was, as shown by a certificate by
the chief engineer of the company, the
result of surveys and explorations made
for the purpose of determining the
proper location of the road, and indl-
Gated with certificates, that the in
tended route thus designated should be
the act upon which the legislative with
drawal should take effect. AS the case
of Cole is controlled by the ruling upon
the first proposition it was concluded
unnecessary TO pass upon the question
as to the right of the secretary to with
draw lands within the indemnity limits
of this road after the definite location
thereof and hence no decision was
made upon this point

Idaho Soldiers Home.

The board of trustees of the soldiers
home met at Boise Monday. After or
ganization Monroe Daggett of Ceur
d'Alene was elected commandant. He
was given authority to select his adju-
tant and it is thought that p. L. Meiner
of Boise will get the place. The board
resolved to advertise for bids for the
location of the home, bids to be received
until July "a, when the board will meet
to open them. Boise, Payette, Nampa,
Mosco and Ceur d'Alene City are candi-
dates.

Death of Judge G. w. Rrlzee.

Judge G. w. Brizee, a local news
paper man, was found dead in his bed
at Boise, Sunday morning, from an
apoplectic attack. He was So years
old. The Judge, as he was generally
called, was something of a local char
acter, and was quite widely known
throughout the mining states.

Dakota Lake Beds Unusually Full.

Not in six years have the lake beds of
South Dakota been so full of water as
at present. According to reports the
old lake beds that have been dry for
years are once more brim full and water
fowl have been quite abundant all sea-
son. To those familiar with South
Dakota the filling of the lake beds
means a great deal. 1t means not only
a crop this season, but for several years
to come. So long as South Dakota can
keep her numerous lakes filled with
water she may well defy the world as a
grain producing state. The sudden re-
turn of ducks and geese after a deser-
ton of seven years is not a little re-
markable.-Sioux City Tribune.
