Sir Edward Arnold has a wide circle of
American readers who will be glad to learn
that he has propounded new idea in
administrative government. There are po-
litical clowns enough in most Cabinets,
but henceforih we should have, according
to the poet, a Minister of Amusement

ations of the people made heDceforth a

Amusement sitting in every Cabinet and
municipal councils spending rates royalty
upon new popular pleasures of the right
kind. No religion was ever divine
which relied on terror instead of love; and
no philosophy will tear any good fruit
which propoands despair and deduces an
initiation. This is where, by their own
true instincts, the great poets have done
so much more for mankind than most Of
its benefactors." The world is terribly
pessimistIc at this moment, and Sir Edwin

G. w. Bright is colored man of means
from the East and owns several thousand
acres of mining lands near Durango,
Mexico.
He appeared in Police Court yesterday
afternoon, accompanied by his friend Long
John Wilkins, and Swore out warrants for
the arrest of three men who he charged

last.
The story he told was the same that has
been told times without number. He was
walking along Market street when a fash
lily dressed young man accosied him in a
familiar way and began 10 talk to him
about mining lands
Bright opened his heart to the genial
stranger aud told him his object in visit
ing the city was to sell his laDus in Mexico.
The stranger SAID be was an Intimate
friend of Coils z. Huntington's son, who
was buying up all the mining lands in
Mexico that came his way and would be
delighted TO introduce Bright to his friend.
The two walked together converslng
pleasantly until they reached Paddy
Ryan's old saloon on Bush street. next to
the Standard Theater, when the stranger
told Bright that Trey would likelv find
young Huntington inside. They entered
and the stranger asked the barkeeper if
young Huntington was in. The barkeeper
said he had just gone out, but would be
back in few minutes.
They retired to a back room. where two
young men were found playing at cards.
Brights new friend was invited to join
them and he readily accepted the invita-
tion. Bright was also asked, but refused.

The game went on and Brights friend
put up S5 and later showed Bright that he
had a sure thing to win any amount, but
he was short of funds. Bright had certi-
fed deposit receipt in his pocket for S125,
which he had placed In the Oak land Ban

His friend then asked him to 60 with
him to his house. and he would repay him
the $125 he had borrowed from him. They
jumped on cable-car, and kept riding
around for some time. till the friend
quietly disappeared.
Meantime the two men who held the
deposit receipt took a trip over to Oak
land, and drew the S125 from the Savings
Bank.
1t dawned upon Bright that he had
been swindled. and he sought out his

THE UNEMPLOYED.

Great efforts are being made to get rid of
the idle men in our State. They are sent
hither and thither and finally exported.
The time seems to have passed when an
immigrant was worth one thousand dol
lars TO the community. 1t is easier now
to get subscription to help an idle man
out of the State than to put one at work in
the State. And yet there is work in the
State for one hundred men for each one
who is now idle. The State employs East
ern men to tan its hides, make leather
into boots and shoes. make wool into cloth,
convert cloth into clothing. tobacco into
cigars, and TO do many other things that
might as well be done here as elsewhere.
The exodus of idle men continues and he
is regarded as their best friend who helps
most literally to swell the procession.

WEE PAVINa QURsTION

When the HERALD first suggested
that the main thoroughfare of this
town be paved with Belgian blocks, it
did 30 without the expectation or de-
sire of personal gain or favoIitism, but
solely for the advantage Of the property
holders and citizens of the town as a
whole. 1t is question in which the
individual should not be considered.
When movement benefits the major
ity of the citizens which it effects, then
it becomes not only public necessity
but benefit as well.
1t is an acknowledged fact that Main
street should be paved from Coal to
Cherry, and the action of one or two
property owners on that thoroughfare
in Withdrawing their signatures to the
petition cannot be looked upon in the
light OF progress. No matter what
my be suggested looking to the ad-
vsnceme ut Of the town, there will be
found some who will oppose it. In
the majo ty of cases, as in the paving
question, their opposition emaDates
from a desire of personal gain, ire
spective of the fact that'the movement
would greatly benefit the town, and
tlus mate tally enhance their proper
ties.
1he property owners along the
paved portion OF Main street have no
regrets to make for the investment
they have made. They point with
much pride to the excellent road bed
in front Of their doors, and there is no
doubt but their properties are worth
much more in consequence. That
portion of the street is the admiration
Of all, and is evidence Of the wise action
Of Council in aiding the movement Of

A sIARrLINe SENSATION.


CHICAGO, July a. The Dispatch prints
a startling exposure with suggestions
that a rigid investigation by the author
ities be made into the cause of the Cold
Storage fire on the Worlds fair grounds
by which n score Of men lost their lives
The article states that before a nail was
driven at the Fair grounds a ring or gang
composed Of half dozen men more or less
in politics was formed for the purpose OF
making money dishonesty out Of the
fair. BY means of gigantic ''pulls' as
well as the judicious use of money the
ring succeeded in getting control of many
minor concessions.
Before the Cold Storage building was
completed well defined plan OF robbery
was laid out. The scheme was TO com
pletely on the Cold Storage building with
wines meats and other pershable eXhib-
it's, the property Of exhibitors. Once filed
with hundreds Of thousands of dollars
worth Of goods, the building was to be
surreptitiously cleaned out from top TO
bottom, the stuff sold and the proceeds d
vided among the members of the ring
The plan was carried out iu full, so
| states the informant of the Dispatch.
| Early in June there were charges of rob
/ berry in the Gold Storage building, but
these were hushed up, and on the day
| before the fire there was not 5000 worth
| of goods in the building. The establish
ment was burned to cover the crime, the
/ incendiarism being committed in the day
/ time to lessen suspicion.

A REMARKAnLE POKER GAME

The guard was bound and the passengers
relieved ofall their light valuables in scarce
ly more time than it takes to tell 1t. Then
Bart apologized handsomely to the lady for
putting her to so much inconvenience She
smiling rejoned:
Don't worry yourself, Bart. 1t was nc
inconvenience at all"
You know me2' said Bart inquiringly
"pve heard you described so often that ]
feel pretty well acquainted with you" re
piled the schoolteacher
The highwayman appeared to feel fat

Most women faint when they see me-"
II never saw man yet that I'd faint for"
replied the woman, to the horror of her fell
low passengers, who were afraid she would
anger Bart and drive him to some desperate
end. A second or two later they werestrick-
Ell dumb with amazement when she said,
Bart, I'll bet you that can beat you one
deal at stud poker. If / don't, you may
kiss me. If | do, you must let this coach
and its passengers go on with their proper
ty without further trouble. VIII you do it?'
The proposition staggered Bart for an in
stant, but he recovered himself, and laugh
ing heartily said; "Waal, miss, you beat
any woman 1 ever came across before. !
never kiss woman unless she'swillin, but
if you want to take them chances I'll play
you, but l reckon you're giyin me the best
of the bargain"
The woman intimated that she was really
anxious to play for those stakes and prep
arations were made for the game. It was
agreed that the drivershould deal the cards,
and Bart insisted that the half dozen pas.
sengers should stand up in a row 20 PAGES
away, so that he might detect any attempt
at treachery. The teacher seated herself on
a mHlpouch that Bart dragged out fol
that purpose, and with his rifle resting
across his lap he settled himself on one
knee a short distance from her.
The cards We're dealt in the regulation
style for stud poker, and Bart's eyes glowed
with eXultation when the last card was
thrown to him, face up as the rule is
you'll lose the kiss, he said, ''for here's
another five" He turned up the first card,
which was also a five, and showed another.
"Three dvesW he shouted in delight
"You did well, sir" said the teacher,
"but Iye got another seven spot here, and
/ believe that three of these are better than
your iyes" She turned up the "roll" card.
and sure enough it was "a seven spot. She
had got two seyens among the open" OF

TO her feet said; Gentlemen, I've lost a
mighty big stake, Come up here, one at
a time, and get what belongs TO you out Of

The passengers jOyfully obeyed the order

ments the passengers were in the coach and
were going up the trail with dash

Now that the County Commission
ers have paid the orders held by peo
pie who have served as jurors on cor

need be no more fear that sudden

would have been obliged to ignore the

THE reports that come from nearly
every part of the country indicate that
the season of 1898 will be one of the
most prolific in fruit this country ha
ever known. 1t is doubtful if such a
large quantity Of fruit was ever raised
before on this continent as will ripen
and be sent to market in the next few
months. The popular belief that a
hard winter is followed by a good
fruit season is apparently to be ful
filed, and people are to enjoy one of
those compensations which nature al
ways provides to offset her extreme
moods. The methods of handling
fruit have improved so much in the
past few years that it is probable there
will be less waste IN the orchards than
usual and a larger benefit derived
from the crop.
