Three Wives Each Man Marries.

Rosegger, the Syrian poet, who
is battling with death just now,
publishes a Christmas book called
Gall Sorts Of Human Things" in
which he expresses the following
thoughts on marriage ::"If you think
of marrying a woman remember
you marry three creatures, q young
one, middle-aged, and an old one.
Unless one or two die before their
time, you marry a wife, a mother,
and. q grandmother. In her you
marry a lot Of people you do not
know. You don't marry for to-day
or for tomorrow, but for life
and fot all sorts Of situations. If
she is gentle and wise and true, you
have a bride not only for the we'd
ding day but for sickness and pow
erty and old age. If she is only
handsome, she will some day grow
ugly; but if she is good and true,
she will stand wear. Try to know
her before you take her.-London

Poor Rich Men.

Countless young men who coveted
everything of the late Jay Gould
except his coffin may be surprised
to learn that Mr.. Gould generally
wanted and needed money quite
as much as they. Property isn't
money, as many able business
men have often learned to their
cost and misery; the larger mans
operations and the more frequently
he wants to make "a quick turn or
a "big strike" the oftener does he
feel poverty pangs quite as keen as
those of the young man who longs
to support a trotting horse and
buggy, but has to content himself
with a second hand bicycle.
Chauncy M. Depew is credited
with the statement that the late
William H. Vanderbilt, one of the
richest men in the United States,
was always poor and in debt. Many
business men can understand
this strange statement, though the
young men aforesaid will take no
stock in it until they become busi-
ness men themselves.-Harper's
Weekly.

Blue Glass spectacles for Cows.

A remarkable story comes all the
way from Moravia to the effect that
all the COWS in that part of the
country are bumped in the rail
fence corners chewing their cuds
with great blue spectacles fastened
before their eyes. 1t seems that the
ground in that country has been
covered with snow since the latter
part of October. Nearly every day
has been clear and cold, the reflec-
ton of the sunlight from the snow
being very disastrous to the eyes of
both man and beast. Thousands
of cattle went entirely blind before
the attention of the Government
Director of Agriculture was called to
the fact. That gentleman, DR.. Yer
incourt, recommended blue glasses
set in wooden or wire frames, and
the result is that thousands of COWS
are now roaming about over the
Moravian pastures looking as dig
nifed as Boston "schoolmarnas"
It is further said that the entire
blue glass supply of Vienna has
been exhausted and that the Gov
ernment has applied to Paris and
London glass dealers for additional
supplies. st. Louis Republic.

Ben Butler and the Spoons.

I remember we'll meeting in
Hartford, Conn.,, when, soon after
the General had commenced speak
ing, a tipsy individual cried out in
a loud voice: "Gen. Butler, tell as
something about those spoons you
stole in New Orleans !" The Cen
eral replied by saying that he weuld
tell him all about it when he got
through, and went on with his
speech. When he ceased speaking
and was gathering up his notes
and papers preparatory to leaving
the stand without making the ex-
planation asked for, the same voice
was heard again and in a very per-
tone demanded an expla-
nation as to those "stolen spoons"
"Ah, YET" " responded the General.
"It had escaped nay memory"
Then in his most persuasive tones
he innocently inquired: care you
a Republican, my friend?' II am"
rejoined the other, "and am proud
of it," $50 was l." sharply retorted
the General, "when l stole those
spoons" and turning about he left
the stand amid such storm of
laughter and applause as was never
before heard in the hall. The"howls
of laughter" in this case were evil

After Falling OFF Forth Bridge.

Sir Benjamin Baker, one of the
engineers of the Forth bridge, notes
as curious fact that during the
progress of the work several of the
workmen fell from the bridge $50
or 100 feet into the water without
being killed or stunned. They had
breath enough left in their bodies
to enable them to catch a rope
when it was thrown to them, but
not enough breath to speak for the
next fortnight. During that period
they lay perfectly still, and at the
end Of the fortnight they generally
said they felt as if they had been
beaten up inside, "a sort of whip

One Of Sir Richard Owens Ghost Talss

One Of Sir Richard Owens Ghost Tales
Sir Richard Owen had two remark
able ghost stories, which it was 9
high privilege to hear him relate
The one about to be recorded here
was perhaps the better of the two.
In his early days, when Owen held
the post of surgeon to the prison
at Lancaster, a negro died in the
Jail, and post mortem as we'll as
an inquest was necessary. After
the inquest the young surgeon saw
the body put in the coffin and the
lid screwed down, to be ready for
the funeral next day. Owen had at
the time been already attracted to
the study of comparative anatomy,
and negroes heads were not plenti-
full; SO he made up his mind that
this one should not be lost to the
cause of science. In the evening
he returned to the prison with a
bag containing brick. From his
official position he had no difficulty
in obtaining admittance to the NOR
tuary, where the coffin-lid was un-
screwed, and screwed down again.
During the process the brick and
the negro's head changed places.
The ground outside the principal
entrance to the Jail had a consider-
able descent; and the time being
winter, covered with snow and frost.
Owen had scarcely passed out when
he slipped and fell all his length
the bag went from his hand and
the head tumbled out and rolled
down the paved way. He jumped
up, caught the bag and, following
the head, clutched it just as it fin
ished its career in a small shop
where tobacco was sold. Pushing
it into the bag again, he vanished
out of the shop with all the speed
he was capable of.
Next morning, when Owen was
going to his usual duties at the
prison, he was called in by the
woman at the shop where the ac-
cident had occurred on the prev
ious evening. She wished him to
see her husband, who was very i'll.
He had had, she said, fright the
night before that caused him to
look wild and dazed- like. The man,
it turned out, was retired sea
captain, who had been in many ad-
ventures among the West India
Islands, when many deeds were
done that did not at that time require
to be accounted for. Among these
had been the killing of a negro, in
which he had a hand, and the tran
saction had left touch Of trouble
on his conscience. After giving
these details, the old Captain told
of the horrible event that took place
night before. He was sitting in his
shop, all was quiet, and it so
chanced that he had been thinking
of the negro, when suddenly be saw
his very head roll into the shop in
front of the counter, and it was
followed by the devil, all in black,
with black bag in his hand. The
devil snatched up the head, and
both disappeared through the earth
like flash Of lightning. The de-
scription was, perhaps, not quite
complimentary to the anatomist,
but it was satisfactory, so far that
it showed that his identity had not
been recognized.-London News.

Attempts on the Lives of the Head of
Either Government Shall Not Be
Considered Political Offense.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Only one
more step remains to be taken before the
Russian extradition treaty goes into
effect, and that is the issuance of the
presidents proclamation. All efforts to
obtain the text of the treaty from the de-
partment of state are futile, but a synop
sis of its provisions has been obtained
from thoroughly reliable source, as fol-
lows:
The high contracting parties agree
to surrender to each other persons
charged with or convicted of any crimes
and offenses specified, provided evidence
of criminalty would justify his or her ap-
prehension and commitment for trial of
the crime or offense committed.
In country where the persons found
convicted as accessory before the fact,
provided such attempt or participation
is punishable by thellawsof both countries
shall be delivered up in virtue of the pro-
visions of this convention. Extraditable
crimes are murder and manslaughter,
when voluntary, forgery and utterance
of forged papers, including public or
governmental, acts of willful or unlawful
destruction, or obstruction of railroads
which endanger human life.
Attempt against the life of the head of
either government or any members of the
family shall not be considered political
offense nor the act connected with such

The Financial Situation Is Thor
oughly Discussed.
MORE OFFERS OF GOLD
The Parity OF Gold and Silver Win Be
Maintained.
Secretary Carlisle Receives and Accepts
Offers of the Yellow Metal from San
Francisco-The Outlook Much
Improved

New YORK, April %. = Naturally
enough, in view of continued heavy ex-
ports of gold to Europe, and the uncer-
tainty as to treasury policy, Wall street
today concerned itself almost entirely
with various rumors in regard to the at
titude of New York banks toward the
government. The sum of 500, 600 in gold
was paid into the sub treasury in New
York today, and the Withdrawals were
81, 100, 600. 1t was reported from Wash
lngton, late in the day, that Secretary
Carlisle received tenders of "a ,000, 600 gold,
thus lifting the treasury reserve once
more above the 500, 0000, 600 mark. The
secretary refused to announce the names
of the banks which rendered the gold.
The most important event today was a
long conference between the bank presi-
dents and Assistant Treasurer Conrad N :.
Jordan. At this meeting the financial
situation was thoroughly discussed, and
it was decided that the parity of gold and
silver must be maintained, and the gov
ernment must meet its obligations in gold
at any cost. 1t was practically decided
among the bankers that they would adj
vance more gold to the treasury without
invitation.
Secretary Carlisle recently received an
offer of deposit of gold in the treas
ury at San Francisco, which he accepted.
The gold was turned in and payment for it
to a correspondent in New York of the
depositor was authorized by telegraph.
The correspondent appeared at the sub
treasury here and received greenbacls,
which he returned the next day and de-
manded gold for them. Thus transfer of
gold was made from San Francisco to
New York with saving of freight and
five days. interest, and the patriotic offer
of gold converted into a transaction for
profit,

4 SENSATIONAL FAILURE.
Strange Action Upon the Part of
a Boise Farmer.
LOOKS LIKE A BUNCO GAME.
t. C. Early and Company Make an
Assignment.
A Letter Which Got Into the Wrong Box

Is Arrested.

BOISE, Ida., April 22.-[Special. IA
somewhat sensational failure has occurred
here. The house that has gone to the
wall is that OF L. G.. Early & Co., cloth
ing dealers, and their failure is remark
able, not for the amount involved. but for
its methods of doing business, which the
failure has brought to light. The house
appears to have been established as part
OF a bunco scheme. The firm opened here
about six months ago, announcing that
they would conduct large retail and job
bing trade. The business has been con-
Quoted by II. w. Early, who represents
himself as brother of T. G. Early of
Denver, who he claims is wealthy
lawyer. Their business has seemed to
flourish.
A few days ago an announcement was
made that the business had been sold to
j. E. Howard. This man was clerk in
the store. An attachment soon followed,
and when the officers appeared, Howard
was on the point of turning the goods
over to local merchant, and investiga-
ton showed that the place had been
Quilted. Claims have continued to pour
in from eastern points, and it seems prob
able that the amount will reach SIC, 900 or
S15, OOO, while there is only few hundred
dollars worth of goods in the store.
A representative of Altman & company,
of Buffalo, is here with a claim of So 600,
and he had Early arrested on charge of
conspiracy to defraud. The prisoner gave
bonds in the sum OF $40, 200.
1t now transpires that before the house
opened letter fell into the hands of the
city authorities showing that the concern
was bunco outfit. The letter was di-
rected to Henry Early. No such man was
known, and the letter went into John
Early's box. The latter opened it mad
vertently, but when he had read it he
determined to call the attention of the
authorities to it.
The letter which was without signature
and postmarked Los Angeles, CAL, gave
details of the scheme, which was that a
line of credit would be secured and large
quantities of goods purchased, and these
goods would be shipped to Boise and then
shipped to Portland and to southern Cali
fornla. and thence to points in Arizona.
The writer of the letter asserted that $780,
600 could be cleaned up by the operation.
The letter was copied and put back into
the postoffice. A watch was kept and
shortly this H. w. Early turned up and
claimed the letter.
The authorities have been watching the
concern, but did not discover anything to
justify interfering with it. 1t is known
that at least one shipment of goods was
made within ten days to San Francisco.
Early may be arrested for using the mail
for fraudulent purposes.
