The lntr;cucie, of Wal, Street.

Just after jay Gould's death. Il wealthy
Wall street broker made Il proposition
to a young man who was not wealthy
but who had been able to 90 the broi.er
a favor. which the latter appreciated
The proposition was couched i'll language
something like this: Dick, You have
rendered me Il valuable service. and
want to do something for you. | will
tell you what ! Will DO will carry 100
shares Of Manhattan stock for you for Il
month. or will buy you the best suit Of
clothes that you can pick ont Which
will you ta!Se:'
The young man considered the propo-
sition for few minutes and replied: 81
believe that Manhattan railway stock
will eventually 80 up. but if should be
the holder of 100 shares it would be cer-
tain to go down. Such is my luck IN
variablv. will take the suit Of clothes. .
On Friday this young man figured up
how much he had lost by making the
choice that he did. When Mr.. Gould
died. Manhattan was selling at l32. On
Friday it sold at a fraction above ia.
Had the young man chosen the 100 shares
and sold them Friday he would have
been about $4,000 richer.-New York

ylonpa,s bachelor Club.

Our Vienna correspondent is able to
contradict misleading report. 1t has
been said that club of men of position
has been formed in that city for the as
sistance Of young women of humble sta
ton who may aspire to marriage with
them. A new club has indeed come into
being. but it is Of quite another sort. 1t
is n club of professed baohelors-a cell
bate order of dandies. 1t derives its
origin no doubt from well known Lon
don institution which bears the same
name. But our Bachelors club binds its
members by no self, denying ordinance
in regard to the future. and we believe
it demands not more than that candi-
dates shall have been single at one time
in their lives. That might be tolerated
as a passing condition, but it is a very
different thing to shut tho door to re-
pentance forever.
The Fienncse women are justly in
censed, and some threaten to retaliate by
forming another society pledged to a
stern refusal of all offers from the Bach
elors' club. This implies the belief that
the bachelors cannot possibly keep their
vows,and it proves to bein singular har-
monywith experience. They have broken
them by anticipation. An indignant wo.
man has openly charged the president
with frequent promises of marriage tc
herself and has demanded his deposition
In all probability the institution will
have to change its title and become the

Powder For "A Dead President.

The amount of powder burned i'll Civ
ing honor to the memory Of the late ex-
president in salutes OH the day of his
funeral forms an interesting matter Of
conjecture" said Il citizen the other day
The firing OF l3 guns at sunrise. a at
sunset and at half hour intervals be-
tween sunrise and sunset, gives 81 shots
from each military post and flagship or
naval station within reach of orders from
lie two departments of war and navy.
"Now, go to work and guess the charge
<in pounds) employed, taking caliber Of
gun used on warship or at military post
and see how it climbs up into the thou-
sands. The smallest gun on some of the
flagships burns so pounds of powder. and
the guns used at land stations in firing
salutes range down the scale to as low as
two pounds. Taking it altogether and
considering the matter at a glance. it is
safe to say that more powder was con-
sumed in the solemn honoring of the dead
ex-president than was burned by cannon
and muskets at the great battle of Get

For the first time i'll the history of Bel
gium the principle of monetary COM
pensation for breach of promise of mar
riage has just been established. The
Judges of the court of appeal were
grudging in their admission of the prin-
ciple. but there is no doubt as to the
meaning of their judgment. The test
case was that of young woman who.
through her father, brought breach Of
promise action against young Dutch
man residing in Brussels. The father
obtained a verdict for 5000 francs dam
ages, plus 5000 francs for what was
called "moral prejudice In their judg-

two parties to an engagement might
back out of it, although not at the last
moment. In the case they had to con-

Peru Makes Reparation.

Secretary Gresham has been fortunate
enough to score a success within the first
six weeks of his service ut the head of
the department of state.
Peru has promised full reparation for
the recent attack upon our consular
agency at Mollendo, and as an earnest of
her purpose has already removed from
Office the subprefect of the department
in which the assault occurred. Minister
Hicks. in reporting the affair, spoke of
the pstaon who had been wounded as an
acting consular agent, and since Mr..
Griffith is our accredited representative
at Mollendo a native of Peru may have
been in temporary charge of the con-
sulate during the outbreak of mob yio-
lcnce. But Mr.. Gresham's demand for
reparation was based on the offense COM
mitted against the government as well
as OH the injury to person and property.
Prompt as that demand was, the re-
sponse of Peru has been equally quick
and unequivocal. She has expressed her
regret for the occurrence. so that the
apology due to the government is prac-
tically complete. and the proper amount
of indemnity can easily be settled. This
little incident. sprung upon the new state
department and rapidly disposed Of, may
have an indirect influence much beyond
it's intrinsic Importance as q practical
experience of the value of courteous
frankness and vigor in dealing with for

A factory for the manufacture of pet
ritied human corpses has. it is alleged
been discovered in Fresno. Cal. At 'eas'

been manufactured and shipped to mu-

membered that petritied man created
considerable talk in Utah last fall, and
that reports of the curiosity were printed

by natural history experts and pro-
nounced a fraud. but it netted consider
able money for the miners who dis
covered it. The objects We're very care

Human Remains In Texas.

1t is reported that near Currizio

covered with petriied human skulls.
has been discovered. The mound is cir
cular in form and about 100 feet high
and on one side is joined to short range
Of hills of about the same height. On
the summit and for some distance down
the sloping side it is covered with what
appear to be smooth, spherical bones,
which upon close examination prove to
be, it is said, petrifed human skulls dis
torted into grotesque shapes.
1t is further stated that by removing
the loose dirt and sand from the orifices
of the face the unmistakable human
countenance is revealed. Bones of other
classes are also said to be found there,
and from all appearances the whole
mound is formed of human skulls

The last application of the penny-in-
the-slot principle is characterized by
common sense, ingenuity and utility.
Hitherto the public has fed tine automatic
machine with coppers in return for value.
In the latest plan the process has been
reversed. The public will receive pe:-
nies instead of giving them. The idea is
this: To the person who turns a crank
100 times the machine yields up one
penny. The crank is connected inside
with a dynamo, and the 100 revolutions
Of the handle manufacture and store a
quantity of electrical energy which is to
be eventually retailed by the owners Of
the machine for the purpose of produc-
ing illumination.
The plan appears to be feasib!senouss.
and it would certainly in districts where
unemployed labor abounded be pro-
ductive Of considerable good. No man
ply himself to the electrical automatic
machine. And the invention might he
capable of wide capplication. Why should
not every household be provided with
one? Every member of the family might
in the name of exercise give the handle
so many hundred turns Il day sufficient,
if that We're possible to provide cleo
tricity enough for the purposes Of light
ing
The turning of the crank might super
sede dumbbell practice in the mornings.
and during the summer months it might
be possible to store enough electrical
energy to tide over the winter. From
the point of view of the man III the street
it would be interesting to know what in
come he could make in a week by !,
