gold may be paid for bonds payable in
coin. The resumption act which Mr..
Cochran quotes authorizes the Secretary of
the Treasury to issue, sell and dispose of,
at not less then par, in coin bonds of
description outlined In bond issue au-
thOrized in 1879. But the bond issue re-
ferred to makes bonds Issued under it
redeemable in coin. 1t is we'll to bear
these facts in mind. A coin bond might
sell at par for gold and it might not.
Whether it would or not depends upon the
general policy outlined by Congress. a
measure providing for supply of gold to
the Treasury would be accepted as declar-
ing purpose to MAINTAIN the gold stan
dard and would consequently create
market for ''coin" bonds on the as
sumption that such bonds would be paid

STREET INDICATORS.
Suburban Residents Think Street.
Names Should Be Seen.

Visitors to the suburban city districts
complain of and notice the entire lack OF
street indicators giving information as to
the names of the various thoroughfares
Strangers and even those who live in the
outlying portions of the city are unaware
of the names of the streets, and informa-
ton is hard to secure by those seeking
friends or business houses.
No street signs whatever are observable
1t many street crossings, and endless walk
ing and annoyance is entaiied upon the
residents and visitors in the city's suburbs
by the want of indicators. Those inter-
ested declare that the city authorities
should compel owners of corner houses or
lots to appropria tely have inscribed the
uames of the streets On which they own
property, and in this manner the required
knowledge would be given. In the older
and settled portions of the city where gas
lamps are used the names of streets ap-
pear, but where no gas, but electric lights
are used no Information is given.

Lineal Dosrendants Who Have Descended
just - Far ~ the Duke Of Versgus.
For the last ffty-two years there has
lived in Buffalo lineal descendant OF
Christopher Columbus, and around the
knees OF this patriarch could be gath
cred to-day eight living children,
thirty grandchildren, and six great
grandchildren, so that there is little
danger OF the name of Columbus be-
coming extinct or forgotten.
The name of this venerable descen-
dant of famous man, says the Phila-
delphia Press, is Alexius Columbus
He is ninety-six years old. There Is
no doubt about his age or nativity.
for these matters were verified by his
son, John Columbus. with whom the Old
man makes his home, and who for that
purpose paid visit to Quebec, near
where Alexius was born and reared.
The old man is in fairly good health
His skin is swarthy and his hair Is
snow white. His children are all
lighter complexion, except one daugh-
ter. Mrs. Rosa Columbus Sours, of Chi
cago, who inherits her fathers dusky
skin. Since the death of his wife, last
spring. at the age of seventy, Alexius
has been steadily falling in spirit.
Alexius Columbus was . ship builder
by trade, as were his ancestors. lie IS
the only one of his generation who
came to the states. His sisters and
brothers lived in the province OF
Quebec, though it is not known that
more than one Of them Is still surviv-
ing. An uncle OF Alexius lived to the
age OF one hundred and fourteen. The
old man is great lover Of tobacco. He
constantly chews or smokes. lie has
always drank, and to this day has his
bottle Of whisky in his room. from
which he takes nip whenever he feels
so inclined.s OF late the old man has

closeness of the heat, combined with
the late supper, brought on wakeful
nervous condition which induced al
attack of asthma. Gasping for breath
he scarcely knew what to do; to get up
and grope about such a large room in
quest of a door or window by which he
could admit more air seemed bcyond
that somewhere at the far end of the
room he had noticed, while undressing,
reflection as from glass. This he
promptly concluded must have been
the window, and, seizing stick which
he had placed on chair by the bed
side, he hurled it through the gloom
His conjectures were confirmed to his
satisfaction, for the gathering on the
floor OF the pieces of broken glass
showed him that he had not only
guessed as to the position of the win
dow, but had also succeeded in smash
ing one of the panes. In his imagina-
ton the air of the room became cooler
and fresher, and the paroxysm of diff
cult breathing soon ceased, the result
being that he fell into a refreshing
slulnber which lasted till morning.
Upon his awaking he was surprised to
find the daylight streaming into the
room from direction exactly opposite
to that in which, overnight, he inn
agincd the window to be situated.
Turning to glance down the room, he
discovered he had smashed . quantity
Of glass, surely enough. but it had
formed no part of the window, as he
supposed, but the front OF glazed

lake PUMPED OUT FOR ORE.
Heavy Deposits Of Iron Under seven

Heavy Deposits Of Iron U,der Seventy
Feet ol Water.
Few pieces Of engineering work were
ever undertaken that exceeded the
pumping out OF Lake Angeline, near
Ishpeming, Mich, where pumps have
been working for sixteen months. The
water is all gone now, but apparently
the hardest part of the work has still
to be accomplished. The lake lies near
the southern part OF Ishpeming, cover
ing one hundred acres. and was seven
ty feet deep in the middle.
1t was for long time the source Of
that city's water supply, until the
growth Of the town about its shores
contaminated the water. Under the
bed OF the lake lie the largest iron-ore
deposits ever discovered. The ore was
discovered some ten years ago, when q
diamond drill was set on the frozen
surface OF the lake one winter, and =
hole drilled six hundred feet down be-
low the bed of the pig-iron. Large ore
bodies were cut by the drill. and the
three mining companies owning the
ground under the lake began devising
means to secure this valuable ore.
The greater part OF the lake was
owned by the Cleveland iron COM
panics. The first and second named
companies did more Or less work under
the surface Of the lake, but the. ever
present danger Of = rush OF water 1rpm
above rendered It imperative that the
water be taken out. Work was begun

oLo-T,ME STEAMBOAT RACING

A Negro 6At On the Sotety Valve, Holding Z
Down the stsem.
The famous rnce between the Hanni-
bal City and the Ocean Spray, which
occurred in 1859, is the subject of an
article in st. Louis paper. Prior to
this race the Ocean Spray had splendid
records. The race was from st. Louis
to Keokuk. The early part of the race
was very close. and the excitement
was intense. When nearing Bissells
Point the Ocean Spray found the Han
nibal City passing her. The mate on
the Ocean Spray. one Davis. becoming
desperate, ordered the head OF a barrel
Of turpentine to be knocked in. His
men were then ordered to dip the wood
in this turpentine before putting it in
the furnace. the object being to quick
ly increase the steam pressure. The
Ocean Spray was supposed to carry
only one hundred and sixty pounds Of
steam. but Davis thought that by put
ting another negro on the safety valve"
he could run the pressure up to two
hundred pounds and distance his rival.
In carrying the dripping wood to the
furnace the track became saturated
with the turpentine, which caught fire
from the open furnace. The flame
quickly reached the barrel. An at
tempt was made to throw the barrel
overheard, but it exploded, and, the
burning oil being scattered all around.
the boat was soon mass Of flames.
Scott Matson was captain on the
Hannibal City. lie was q brave and
generous man, and in this instance
these two qualities made his name
famous. Notwithstanding the immi-
nent danger he ran his boat alongside
the burning one and rescued every per-
son on board. Davis, the mate of the
burned boat, was afterward convicted
and sent to the penitentiary for such
gross violation Of the rules OF safety.
He was later pardoned.
