1.-THE English are having forcible OBJ
ject lesson" on the insuficiency of the
gold supply. Our purchases of gold,
though only about s35, 600, 600, have
already sent the Bank of England's
discount rate up from q per cent, at
which it stood month ago, to 5 per
cent, which it reached on the oath
inst. Where would it go if we should
buy, at whatever premium was neces-
sary to get it, $50, 900, 900 or 500, 000,-
600 more? 1t is certain that if universal
bimetallism is not adopted the United
States must increase its gold reserve by
several hundred millions of dollars.
Where will it come from, and to what
point will the Bank of England raise
its rate to hold its gold? This object
lesson will be more efficient educator
of English fnanciers and statesmen
on the sufiiciency or insufficiency Of
the gold supply, than would tons of
volumes containing the most learned
and conclusive arguments of experts
and statisticians. How long would
the Gladstone government, which
opposes bimetallism, last with bank
rate Of 6 or Z per cent, caused by the
insufficiency of gold?"

E.r- Governor John Erans: "Bimet-
allism, or, in other words, the free
coinage of silver into legal-tender
money, expands the currency and aids
the debtor class of our people, 1T gives
more money for Improvements, for
building and operating factories, build
ing and operating railroads and devel-
oping new, and, in fact, improving all
countries. 1t makes all property and
all production and labor more valua-
BILE, and only prevents the enhance
ment of gold and credit. 1t is the
best policy for all new and enterpris-
ing countries, cities, places, towns and
peoples. Monometallism or the gold
standard of values is adapted especially
to the creditor class, to countries, cit
les and towns that have completed
their Improvements and growth and
retired from activity; who live, like
the retired merchants, on the interest
of their money"

JUPITER'S RED SPOT.
It Can Be Easily Seen Through Small Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.

It Can Be Easily Seen Through Small
 Telescope by Amateur Astronomers.
 All owners of telescopes, and their number has become very large within the past few years, will be glad to hear that the strange red spot on Jupiter, which was so much obscured last sum- mer as, at times, to be invisible even with the huge Lick telescope, is slowly frightening again. The appearance, says the Youths Companion, is as if a veil of clouds which had been drawn over it was being gradually removed.
 This is by no means the only time that this singular spot on the giant planet has behaved in a similar way since it first made its appearance in 1878. Just what the spot is, and what the changes in it's aspect mean, astrono- mers do not yet know. But that it is a tremendous phenomenon upon the sur face of the great world of Jupiter is ev- idcnt when few figures concerning it's dimensions are recalled
 The spot is not less than thirty thou sand miles long and at least seven thou sand miles wide. In other words, it GOV CTS an area more than equal to the whole surface of the earth.
 The fiery hue which it sometimes presents for months together seems very suggestive in view of the proba- bility that Jupiter is planet yet in an intensely heated condition, whose con- tiuents and oceans, if it is ever to pos sess any, have not yet been formed.
 When at it's brightest the red spot can be well seen with a telescope of only three or four inches aperture, so that it then forms suitable object for obser. vatlon by amateurs.
 This year Jupiter is particularly in ! teresting on account of the distinctness of its great system of belts, lying par allel with it's equator. Small tele. scopes show the principal belts easily, and it is very interesting to watch the changes that take place in them from time to time, particularly when it is re. membered that what one is looking at is | probably vast masses of swirling clouds in the heated atmosphere of world that may be said to be in the process of | creation.

A BIG JOB.
Enforcing the Geary Resistra.
 ton Act.
Collector Quinn Thinks 1t a Difficult Undertaking, but He
 VIII Do 1t.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 23.-[Associ ated Press. l-Collector Quinn says that the Geary registration act makes it his duty to arrest, after May 5, every Chi nese laborer who has not registered and unless he receives other instructions from Washington he will follow out the law to the letter. In speaking of the matter he said it would be big under taking, but the government would do all that would be necessary in enforc- ing laws. Jails will hold large mum Der and Angel Island can be utilized in accommodation of others. The Six Companies still keep up their fight against the registration, and with the exception of members of the Chinese Masonic society and servants of Ameri- cans none are registering.

EUROPE'S FAIR DAUGHTERS.

 QUEEN VICTORIA will not express her opinion on the crinoline question. She has had considerable experience with wire cages, but feels as if it was not for her to say what other women should wear or reject.

exit for spirits. Even in later times when the dead were burned, holes were often bored or knocked in the urns that contained the ashes, for the same pur. pose. Some cinerary urns have been found with little windows, as it were, made in them, and a piece of glass placed over the hole. Macrobius, in his Saturnalia, quotes an Etruscan be- lief that door should be opened for the spirits to pass Tn and out
 The writer remembers a case of dy- ing woman some few years ago in Sus- sex. She was gasping, and apparently was undergoing the last struggle in great distress. The nurse went to the window and opened it. At once the dying woman breathed deeply and ex- pired. The writer said to the nurse: Why did you open the window?'' The answer given was: Surely you wouldn't have her soul go up the chim- neyP"
 One can understand how that, if a piece of skull had been regarded as in contact with demon or spirit, it would be respected as an amulet, and that so the rondelles removed from the heads of men who had been subject to cpl leptic fits would acquire a virtue in the eyes of the ignorant and superstitious, and be employed as charms. And this seems to be both the simplest and most intelligible explanation of hole pierced heads, and of the wearing of the portions removed from those heads by men and women who had not them selves been trepanned.

THREE VERY LUCKY CHILDREN.
How the Little Imperial Princes of Ger
 many Pass Their Time.

How the Little Imperial Princes of Ger
 many Pass Their Time.
 Of the daily life of the three eldest imperial princes the Berlin correspcn- dent of the London News writes: "The princes, as is very generally known, are very simply and strictly brought up Every day, summer and winter, they get up at ' o'clock in the morning and nave breakfast at 7:45 o'clock, con sisting of tea and rolls. The meal never lasts longer than quarter of an hour Punctually at o'clock their lessons begin. The crown prince, as well as Princes Fritz and Adelbert, are each taught separately, but for some hours the crown prince and Prince Fritz are taught together. The crown prince, who is most zealous, and takes all his lessons in earnest, is much further ad- vanced than his two brothers. The play hours during the morning are filled up with gymnastics, games of ball, dig ging, etc, in the playground, near the right wing of the new palace. At 9:45 they take luncheon - sand wiches, claret and natural mineral water, which beverage is much drunk at the imperial table. After lunch they again have lessons for a short time, and then take their riding lessons, either in the riding school in bad weather or in fine weather out of doors. The crown prince, who is an excellent rider, with a firm seat, has lately begun to ride. His white horse Abdul, which he received on his birth day from the emperor, is handsome large Arabian, with a long tail and thick mane, of faultless build, proud bearing, and a most graceful step. After their riding lesson they some times take ride in the neighborhood of the new palace, accompanied by the crown prince's military governor, Maj. von Falkenhayn. Princes Fritz and Adelbert accompany the crown prince on their ponies, and it is a pretty sight to see the younger ones trying to keep up with their elder brother. They very often take drive in their pony carriage, the crown prince driving. This little basket carriage is drawn by a white pony, hung all over with silver bells, and its name is Seehund."

WHO IS THE MAN?
A Telegram From Hon. Mark
 Smith
Says Arizona Will Surely Have . New Governor Before the
 End of the Week.

The interest in the gubernatorial and other appointments has become SO in' tense that it has begun to grow abso- lutely painful, though the demeanor of Hon. Thos. Parish suggests serene com placency. In fact Mir. Parish appears to be confident of success. It is said that influence in his favor has grown at Washington and that several prominent senators who have previously not been identified with the scrimage have lent their assistance to the Parish forces. It is also reported that endorsements and recommendations which 1t is sup posed will clinch his victory were for warded to Washington last night.
 The friends of Mir. Dennis also pro- fess confidence which is shared by that gentleman alloyed though by growing fear that If the contest is not soon brought to head. the appointment will go to someone outside the territory.
 There was rumor last night which could not be confirmed that Dr. Hughes had withdrawn from the race and had directed his representatives as Wash ington to exert themselves in favor of Dennis.
 A telegram was received from Mark Smith yesterday afternoon stating on authority that the appointment would surely be made before the end of the week, though it contained no indication as to the identity of the appointee.
 From the most reliable information available it appears that Parish not only has the pole, but is also more than a neck ahead.

Palmer, one Of the most notorious matrlmonl-
al sWindlers Of the epoch, has been Condemn
ed to three years Imprisonment by the Paris
Correctional Chamber. Her career has been
q singularly adventurous one, and she has had
many husbands. According to the official re-
port Of her strange, eventful history, she was
first married in 1888 to q Frenchman, and
was speedily divorced. She then started the
advertisement trick for the purpose of obtain.
ing wealthy %suitors, who were to be in 1uced
to give her handsome presents and were after
wards to be shaken off. Madame Agopian, as
she first called herself, said that she was the
widow of a Constantinople banker, and she
thus inveigled a Belgian whom she married in
London six years ago, running away from him
as soon as possible after the wedding and leav.
ing him almost penniless. This was her first ex-
plot. Two years later she deluded another sub
ject of King Leopold to whom she had represent
ed herself as the widow of a wealthy English
man. She had an accomplish n the person of
the BelgiaD's own brother, with whom she
went to Rome after having Melted so, 000f. by
the marriage. Having spent a great deal of
her i'll gotten gainsin the Eternal City, the adj
ventNress again advertised for a husband, des-
cribing herself as a young Belgian lady,
twenty-six years old, with &12O, 900 of fortune,
and DESTROYS of meeting a French or Belgian
engineer, tall ,fair-haired, and diStimga6. The
advertisement was answered by a gentleman,
also wonderful to relate, a Belgian, who took
the train to Rome, saw the lady and fell in
love with her at first sight. Unfortunately
there was a grandmother in the way, who was
represented to the amorous Belgian youngman
as a most businesslike person who needed os-
tensible and indubitable proofs of the abso-
lnte independence and substantial prosperity
Of the candidate for the hand Of her grand
daughter. The young man determined to
wed the lovely widow returned to Brussels

to Rome. whore he put nearly $4,000 in the
hands Of the charming Madame Palmer, as
she called herself then, and who stated that
she intended to deposit the mony in the bank
