WOES or RICH MEN.
How n Bachelor spends Fortune Every
f@gr.

INkfs
I was chatting the other day with a
rich young Income" member Of the
jeunesse doree. My young friend, who
is a pink OF fashion. and quite a well
educated and agreeable fellow, was le-
menting the fact that he could not
possibly make both ends meet at tho
end OF the year on his income Of tis
900.
/ expatiated on the fact that many
men had married and maintained fam
lilies snugly on less than $4,000: that the
amount represented five per cent. on q
small fortune, and that he must simply
be recklessly extrayagant who could not
only live well on Il, but ran In debt.
He answered me that his bachelor cham
bers were quite modest and his club bills
very moderate; that being absent SO
much visiting his friends he did not
keep either a valet or an equipage.
He admitted that his clothing ard per-
sonal outfit cost him more than his lodg-
ing or his club. I wondered how he man
aged. then, TO spend his income so that
he was always In debt at the end OF the
year. He then explained that while he
spent so much OF bis time visiting his
fashionable friends In their country
homes or on their yachts. the outlay IN
tips for the servants and presents 70
his entertainers was far greater than
living "at home" and his club would cost
him.
When he added that his wedding pres
ents alone the past year had cost him
5000 could appreciate the force Of his
statement. Just think OF III How many

at the same instant the air ahead or us
looked like a snow storm, so thick were
the feathers, and Ranger soon placed a
fine young bird at our feet. -.
That's not the bird We are AFTER

cartridge, and the dead bird disappeared
In his hunting coat.

were chasing had come TO the ground

took the cue and before they had gone
nifty yards both animals changed TO stat
ues. Twenty feet ahead OF them was
an old stump with brush grown up
around IT, Evidently the bird was there,
and evidently, too, he was settihs ured
ofthe chase and was lying closer.
We approached as nolsiessly az we
could. but the bird took alarm and WIN
a tremendous rush and roar darted
through a clump of evergreens. Both
guns flashed but there was no cloud OF
feathers this time.
"Oh, nobody can hit anything In ever

which way did he go?"
Neither OF US had seen the pheasant
after he got into the evergreens, but as
he was heading up the rayine we knew
that he could not 90 very far. We cross
ed over again, and the dogs struck the
trail not far from where we had had
lunch at noon. The cover was bad ana
the bird again rose out OF reach. and
only got a sprinkiing. He went circling
around us this time, heading down the
ravine.
The case was getting warm now; the
question was no longer as 10 whether we
should get at him at all, but as to which
of us should have the honor OF bringing
him down. The dogs were as Interested
as we, and soon had the tran again. me
wary bird lay very close this time. but
had chosen another clump OF evergreens
for his cover. Both dogs made pretty
points. and while one OF us was going
around the eyergreens TO get shot az
him as he came out he was up and on
again with nothing worse than burned
powder TO complain Of. IL was another
case OF guess, but the most likely place
was the cover along the old stone fence
where we had raised him an nour or 80
before. Pulling hard at our pipes we
were soon across again and following the
dogs to the woods. Ranger iea us

Government Officers Who Were in a
Conspiracy Dismissed.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.--Patrlck II
Winston, United States Attorney, Thos
r. Brown, United States Marshal, Andrew
WATSON, United States Collector at Port
Townsend; G. l. Mulzey, United States
Special Agent, and six special inspectors
of customs in the Puget Sound district,
all in the state of Washington, have been
dismissed as q result of reports made TO
Secretary Carlisle by special treasury
agents, Wood & Lewis They are charged
with being connected with one OF the
most extensive and successful conspira-
cies ever formed to smuggle Chinese and
opium into the United States, across from
the northwestern territory.
GOING ON FOR YEARS
Scandals for the past twelve or fifteen
years have attached more or less to those
officials in the Puget Sound district whose
duty it was to guard against the violation
of the law as to Illicit business Of Chinese
and opium smuggling into the United
States. Politics have never entered into
it, but the immense profit In the business
seems to have corrupted many officials
More than two months ago Agents Wood
and Lewis, new men from tho east, were
detailed TO secretly investigate these
alleged frauds with the result as stated.
Uninhuenced by local surroundings or
affiliations they went TO work and I'M
earthed what is regarded here as one Of
the greatest conspiracies In which gov
eminent officials were ever implicated.
Not to defeat the continuance of
the investigation, all the prominent
government officials named, were removed
by the President and their successors
were appointed without the usual an
nouncements being made. The purpose
was to keep the public In ignorance that
other implicated persons might be caught.
The new men appointed In the places of
those removed were: James l.. Saunders,
collector at Port Townsend; James q.
Drake, United States marshall w H.
Brinker, United States attorney. Other
removals are yet to como aud the matter

M1NNEsorA's BIG FIRES.
The First Accounts Somewhat ExaR-
gerated in One or Two Cases.


Duluth, MINI, June 2O.-The first ac-
curate nows of the fires in tho Masaba
range was available last night. The only
communication with range towns yester-
day and to-day was over single wire
working badly, The press dispatches
filed by special correspondents who were
sent with the first relief train did not ar
rive until late to-day and then only a
little in advance of the newspaper men.
Accurate news shows the usual exaggera-
tion in the first reports, but the money loss
VIII be greater thon estimated yesterday
The first stories regarding Mountain Iron
and Biwabik were untrue. At Biwabik
only a few detached buildings were
burned and at Iron Mountain only six
buildings.
At Virginia the situation is as serious
as reported. The entire business portion
of the town is destroyed About thirty
houses are standing and $40 were burned
Merritt Is nearly wiped out, only six
teen buildings now rcmaing In the town.
IL was impossible to reach Merritt as the
woods are still burning all about the vii

Inc SITUATION OF Jne sufferers at virgin

them are without shelter. Clothing Is
scarce and food despite the supplies chat
have been sent from Duluth, is still scanty.
Everything possible is being done for
them and the railroads reaching the range

sions free
3,S00 IN NEED OF CHARITY.
On the whole range about $500 people
are for the time being entirely dependent
on charity, In n large measure, the wo-
men and children have been brought to
Duluth.
The total loss as estimated last night
by those best qualified TO know was put
at 81 ,500,0 900. The insurance as nearly as
It could be estimated is about $500, 600
Fires are burning all along the range still

damage, but the danger is not imminent
Mining companies suffered heavily, It Is
fairly well established now that no lives
were lost as a result of the fires Stories
current last night cannot be confirmed
and reporters who were on the range say
there are no authenticated losses of life.

reeting the erlissr- Atlanta to return to
the United States was cabled to Capt
Bartlett at Greytown, Nicaragua, to-day
She was ordered to Nicaragua early in
May when trouble was first reported
there, and her orders to return home in

end. But it also indicates something
further. Capt. Higginson's delay in
sailing, for which he was so severely
censured, may be shown to have been
justified by the condition of the
ship. The Atlanta win go to the
Norfolk navy yard. where she will I'M

officers will be appointed to survey her to

HAD NO GRIP ON THE OFFICE.
A Washington Man Fails to Hold a
Place as a Letter Carrier.

Washington, June 20.-Judge Bradley
in the district supreme court this morn
ing rendered a decision refusing writ of
mandamus to George T. Pulaski to COM
pei the civil service commission to ap-
prove his reinstatement as a substitute
letter carrier. Pulaski passed the civil
service examination for the position and
in August 1892, his name was placed on
the eligible list for appointment On
Jan. 23, 1898, Postmaster Sherwood of
Washington made a requsition upon
the civil service commission for
a candidate for the appointment
Three names were supplied and
Pulaski was selected from the list and
received notice from the postmaster of
his appointment. He was dropped from
the rolls by direction of the Postmaster
General under the instruction of the Civil
Service Commission that the appointment
was irregular Pulaski contended that
he was unlawfully removed from the po-
sition and applied for a writ of mandamus
TO compel the Postmaster General to re
instate him and the commission TO APP
prove his reinstatement. Judge Bradley
discussed in detail the civil service law
and the points made by the petitioner
and reached the conclusion that it was
apparent from the facts in the case that
Pulaski, having been irregularly APP
pointed, had no absolute legal right to the
Office in which he was placed, that would

No Agreement Reached Yet by Which
the Doors Can DO Reopened.
Brunswick, Ca, June 20.--The Bruins
wick State Bank did not reopen today,
but as usual the attorneys for the bank
appeared before Judge Sweat and ex-
hiblted kilograms from Marsh g. Thayer,
the northern capitalists, who say they
have the money ready when all the de-
positors agree to let their money
remain and take it IN installmants of %
per cent every sixty days. There is an
open suspicion In Brunswick, that Marsh
and Thayer are working a big game of
bluff by putting off reopening the bank
until they can get things their own way.
It is also suspected by some that all the
promises that have been made are put up
to allay grand jury investigations, and
these suspicious being well aired on
the street corners, are causing
great dissatisfaction among some of
the depositors. Judge Sweat, how
ever, seems to know his duty, as
does Solicitor Brantley and Indications
point to a thorough investigation Of some
methods formerly employed by some one
In the Brunswick banks. Judge Sweat
granted additional time to the bank to-
day. but he took pains also not to dis
charge the grand jury, but only to adj
iourn them until Tuesday next,
when it will again be seen
If the depositors of the Brunswick State
will have TO listen to more orders from
the northern capitalists.

Chattanooga, June 20.-The assignment

caused scarcely furry in financial cir
cles to-day. The Chattanooga Savings
Bank, as a precautionary means, took ad-
vantage of the sixty-day notice of the
withdrawal of deposits None of the
banks lost deposits, and in most of them
the deposits increased Merchants are
offering to take the checks on the City
Savings Bank at par in payment of mer-
chandise. There is some likelihood that
the City Savings Bank may arrange its af-
fairs so as to resume.
