The Counting Stick.

In the early New England days
there was in most houses a large as
sembly room, and there the family
and all the guests and chance callers
gathered on winter nights about the
blazing fire of logs. For the conven-
fence Of young lovers, since there
was no next ROOM" counting sticks
were used-that is, long wooden
tubes that could convey from lip to
ear sweet and secret whispers.-Buf

Disregard For Forests.

With all the light afforded by sci
ence and the teachings of national
economy, there exists a popular dis
regard for matters pertaining to for

made in the attempt, through state
action or otherwise, to secure to pos
terity some of the advantages of the
forest wealth now enjoyed in this
country and considered SO indispen-
sable to our prosperity. Engineer

Was Vanderbilt Worth $500, OOo, 500?

When William II. Vanderbilt died,
he left each of his eight children SILL
100000 and divided the residue be-
tween Cornelius and Willie K. A high
financial officer, whose name I am
not at liberty to give, but whose au-
rhority I tell you is unimpeachable,
told me last summer that the residue
was not far from $500, 600, 600, so,it is
fair to insist that at any time during
the past 20 years William H. Van
derbilt was the richest individual on

Mrs. D. Kilgana, of Bakersville. CAL,

She came to the hotel last Saturday

He pronounced her quite i'll. and pre-
scribed for an attack of malaria. Monday
she was delirious, and Mrs. Seagrave at
tended her all day. The doctor called
three times and considered her seriously
ill. She asked to see Mrs. T. J. Humes.
In her wandering she talkei about
having grape vines trained this
and that way, but nothing that
indicated any special mental trouble.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Humes was sent
for and made her q call. but did not know
her. About 1 o'clock Mrs. Kileana was
seen by Mr.. Seagrave to pass the Office
windows on South Second street going
south. Since then nothing has been heard
from her, and the hotel people fear that
she has wandered off while in a delirious

and eyeglasses. She is about SIS years old,
of dark complexion and had dark hair.

MUFFLEY IN JAIL AT LAST.
The victimixsr Of Railroad Men Arrested
for Bigsmy In Indiana.

Ernest b. Muffiey. who was formerly
travelling freight and passenger agent Of
the Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City rail-
road, with headquarters at Tacoma. and
who is only too well remembered among
the railroad men of this city, has at last
landed in Jail according to the following
dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean:
FORT WAYNE Ind, Feb. 6-Detective Wilken-
son, of this city, arrived here this morning from
St. Louis. having IN custody Ernest B. Muffiey,
who about three weeks ago married Miss Ida
Paulson. one OF Fort wayne's young bellies. and
/ who has been quite prominent ON the stage.
After the marriage IL was discovered that he had
a wife and two children residing In Des Moines,
Ia. This WAS learned by letters received from
her by the clerk of the county. He will also be
held to answer 10 the charge of larceny preferred
against him by the Ohio Farmers Insurance
Company, by whom Mufiiey was employed. He
10 now In the county Jail and up to this evening
has failed to furnish bail. His young wife is
now at the residence Of her parents, heart
broken over the affair. but has not yet called on
her husband since his incarceration.
MufIiey gained firm place in the men,
cries Of railroad men on the Sound by get
ting them to cash checks on banks in
which he had no funds. He worked every
railroad man in this city by this means or
by borrowing money which he has never
repaid. He closed his career here by in
ducing Edwin Tonkin, ticket agent at the
Northern Pacific depot about two years
ago, to cash check tor $45 on Tacoma
bank which promptly came back marked
mo funds" His former victims bore
their losses in silence, but this affair be-
came public and Muifley fastened to cover
| his tracks by repaying the money. To do
SO he borrowed So from William Thomp-
| son. the Canadian Pacific agent at Taco
ma, which he has not repaid.
| In consequence of this affair he lost his
position and started cast and then south,
victimizing in the same way nearly every
| railroad man he met between here and the
| City of Mexico. The news Of his arrest
was received with satisfaction by his local
| victims.

DRUNK AMONG THE COAL DUST
Whisky Leads Jerry Moriarity Astra!
on His Way Up Town.

on His Way Up Town.
Jerry Moriarity, a native of Ohio, was
found in state of beastly intoxication in
the mouth of a coal chute on top of the
Oregon improvement Company's coal
bunkers last evening by Lieut.. John Huff.
1t Is fully forty feet to the ground where
he was found, but when the lieutenant
asked him what he was dol ng he replied:
I'm going up town."
Huff pulled him out Of the coal dust
and remarked:
well, it seems to me you took pretty
high elevation to start WITH" and took
him down to the street and sent him to
the police station. When he was placed
in chair in the general room Moriarity
was an interesting sight. and his whisky
breath was something awful. The first
thing he did wa 70 ask Chief Willard for
a chew of tobacco, and then when Capt.
Hogle spoke of booking him as drunk"
he said:
'Now, don't do that: you see was
robbed. Some Teller hit me on the head
and knocked me plumb out. l didn't have
only s.. but he took that"
Mr.. Moriarity's condition was such that
the robbed" story and the 'broken leg
fake" did not save him from being booked
as an ordinary drunk.

creased and tho Good Effects.
c. J. Eddy. general agent of the Chi
cago. Milwaukee d st. Paul railway for
the North Pacific coast, and J. w. Casey,
travelling passenger agent for the same
road. are stopping at the Grand. "A few
years ago when / first came to Seattle"
said Mr.. Eddy. ''there were no Eastern
roads represented here at all. Now, how
ever, there are several. It i. a good thing
for city to have q lot of railway men in
it. 1t shows that it is doing a lot of busi-
ness. and, besides, these men spend their
money here. pay office rent and do their
share to make the place city. Then they
afford shippers every facility which COM
petition can offer in the way of good serv
ice. He is made acquainted with the good
points of every system, and sometimes
the mere knowledge of these points is
worth money to him. The competition
thus afforded is also check upon other
roads.

upon the quick time made, the quality
of roadbed, beautiful scenery, important
places en- route, luxurious accommoda-
tons. courteous treatment. and all the

THE POLICE STRIKE A LEAD.

a Number OF Arrests on Suspicion OF
Connection with Burglsries.
The police have five persons locked up
IN the city Jail on suspicion, and in each
case state that there il nothing yet for
publication. From information obtained
rom other sources it would appear that
these arrests have been made in connec-
ton with the recent burglaries, and the
police think that these under arrest, or at
least part Of them, are members Of an
organized gang of San Francisco thieves
who have been operating in Portland, Ia
coma and Seattle.
1t developed yesterday that the arrests
OF Frank Williams and Charles Sullivan
Monday night by Detective George Cave
and Officer Mike Powers we're in con-
nection with the burglary of E. Voland's
tailor shop on Cherry street about two
weeks ago, and closed with a little target
practice by Detective Cave in which Sulli-
vans hat was pierced by q bullet.
A short time after the tailor shop was
burglarized Williams and Sullivan disap-
peared and were not seen until Monday
night, when the officers saw them on
Washington street. For twenty minutes
1t was share and hound" chase, until
the hares took to Main street, and then
came a straight away pull. At Fourth
and Main Williams tried to double on his
pursuers. but Powers caught him. Sulli-
van kept on and Cave called to him to
halt. He paid no attention to the warm
ing and it was repeated three time. Then
Cave let out at him and the bullet went
sailing through Sullivan's hat, causing his
hair to stand on end and bringing him to
q sudden halt. What positive informa-
ton the police have as to the connection
of the men with the tailor shop burglary
remains to be seen, but it is known that
they have information of their reputation
and operations in San Francisco.
q. II. Brown, sailor, and Tom Sulli-
van, blacksmith. were arrested by Lieu
tenant Philbrick yesterday, and booked
on suspicion. The Lieutenant only laughed
when asked the real cause of the arrest,
and would not say whether or not the men
were wanted in connection with the two
burglaries at s. Friedman's tailor shop ON
Columbia shop.
Last evening Detective Cudihee ar
rested a man who gave the name Of
Charles Brougherd. He was booked on
suspicion. and the officers in his case also
refuse to say what he is wanted for.
