Human Flesh Does Not Petrifv.

Fertilization is simply the substitution
Of inorganic for organic matter, atom by
atom. This process of transformation
Is unthinkably slow. AS a molecule Of
wood or bone decays molecule of stone
takes its place. This can only occur
when the air, earth or water surround
ing the organic substance in question
holds in solution some mineral which Is
readily precipitated. In the case of either
wood or bone, while decomposition is
going on, there yet remains framework
or fiber, the interstices of which may

stance-with flesh, be it human or ami
NAL, no such framework exists. The
very rapid decay of flesh also makes it
impossible for the very slow process Of
petrifaction to have any effect in the
way Of making transformation.
The stories of petriied bodies being
found in graveyards are usually faxed
up by some imaginative reporter who
wishes to lengthen his string" It is

One of the characters in modern nov.
el Is made to say: II love a shy man.
He is getting so scarce" Perhaps that
is why he is SO really delicious. When
he bushes palpably, but without look.
ing awkward, one is drawn toward him
by o certain sentiment of affinity. and so
long as he is just shy enough. but not
too shy, he wins more and more upon
one. To draw really shy man out of
his shyness is pleasing task, and tho
more so as he is generally disinclined to
give expression to the thoughts and
ideas that he usually keeps locked fast
away within himself. One comes upon
a stray jewel or two now and then, in
such cases. in the shape Of an unexpect-
ed thought that astonishes the discov.
erer because it seems so different from
the person from whom it emanates. I

be little shy ones self in order to ap.

ones, and do you find that they only
come out of their shell in tete.a-tete,

PIOCHE NEVADA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 81, 1898


At the last drawing room OF Queen
Victoria there was u carnival Of jewels.
One reckless woman, the Marchioness Of
Tweeddale, was arrayed in wide skirt
whose many seams were outlined with
diamonds and emeralds. The Duchess
of Devonshire was blaze Of gems. and
30 was the Duchess of Buccleuch.
The marchioness seems to have been
The only one who sewed up the seams Of
her skirt. so tt speak, with jewels, but
there was quit a goodly number whose
bodice seams were outlined with dia-
monds. One lady wore long string Of
diamonds across her breast, like an
order. Jeweled hooks upon which to
hang their fans were worn by most Of
the guests.
A quaint and beautiful fancy was the
placing of diamond in the heart Of q
rose worn in the hair or on the bodice.
There it nestled like great dewdrop-
provided it was not lost in the crush.
Necklaces in profusion were worn, and
such was the passion for display that
these were often supplemented by q
band of velvet studded with stars.
Birds. butterflies and flowers of jewels
were quito common, and the wells were
kept in place by long earrings formed in
to pins, but with the pendants free to
flash out Kaleidoscope prismatic colors.
The bodices were fastened at the back
with diamonds. and one waist had o
fringe of diamonds across the front.
Jeweled girdles were also worn. The
turquoise was represented whenever it
would harmonize with the color Of the
gown. Emeralds were much worn, and
the present supremacy Of mauve or hell
otrope had brought the amethyst out in
force. London Letter.

DENVER, Oct. 3l.-The announcement
that the United States senate Lad passed
the unconditional repeal DILL was a heavy
blow to the people of Colorado although
they had b ardly expected any favorable
legislation during the present aGministra-
ton. Among mining men the depression
is considerable, as it is only matter of
time when all the silver mines will be COM
PEELED to close down.
The New York Chance and Last Chance
mines, two of the largest in the state, can
not produce silver should the price drop
below is cents per ounce, and the present
indications are that that mark will be
reached before long. Other mines may be
able to stand a few cents further reduc-
ton, but the number of these is small.
Speaking editorially, the Denver Repub-
lican says today:
The passage of the unconditional repeal
bill is a great calamity and is going to lead
to terrible consequences at the east and in
silver mining sections. There are more
than 100, 900 people in Colorado alone that
depend almost entirely on the silver min
ing industry for support"

A SPECIAL ELECTION.
ChIcaEo's City Council AIust Call It Imme
dIateiy.

uloNely.
CHICAGO, Oct. Sl.-Niss Annie Howard,
who WAS to have married Mayor Harrison,
is still PROSTATE by the shock. Her physi-
clan reported that she was out of danger
and had passed the night fairly we'll, al
though it was impossible for her to obtain
the necessary rest. The members of Mr.
Harrison's immediate family were more
composed and went for n short drive in
the afternoon. Mrs, Peasley, the mayor
daughter, left her room for the first time
since the tragedy.
1t is probable that the city council, at its
meeting Monday, will be Obliged to call a
special election for mayor TO be had at a
time not less than 20 days from that meet
ing and within a reasonable time.
1t is also probable that at that meeting
the aldermen will elect one OF their num-
Der to serve as mayor until such time as
another mayor shall he elected by the
people and that the member so chosen will
be vested with all the powers, rights and
privileges of a regularly chosen chief ex-
ecutive.
All day Corporation Counsel Kraus and
his assistants searched the statutes for
some clause or section bearing upon the
present emergency. The result was the
finding of n section of the old city charter
providing for Just such an emergency as
has now arisen. This section of the old
charter provides for the election of a tenn
pOrary mayor, who shall he vested with
the full powers of the regular mayor by
the city council, and who shall serve until
a new mayor is regularly elected. 1t pro-
vides further that the city council shall
call special election for the selection of a
new mayor within three days after the va
cancy had occurred.
There was an exciting scene in the county
Jail Monday afternoon when the other
prisoners learned of the murder of Mayor
Harrison, and Murderer Prendergast was
frightened nearly to death. He yelled for
protection and covered in an extreme
corner of his cell until a number of guards
rushed up and assured him that he would
not be harmed The other prisoners wanted
to hang him

LONDON, Oct. Sl.-The standard today,
commenting on the passage of the repeal
bill by the senate, says that a weaker man
than Cleveland would have been beaten
owing to the division of opinion in the
United States, The most urgent step
which must follow the repeal of the silver
purchasing clause of the Sherman act is a
reduction of the tariff
The Times says that the victory over n
powerful combination of wealthy and well
organized interests, with popular ignorance,
prejudice and greed, is due entirely to the
hrmness and courage of President Cleve-
land. 1t says further, We can only re
joice that the country with which we have
such intimate and important connections
of trade is about to restore that monetary
stability which lies at the foundation OF
national credit and sound commercial re
lations."
The Daily News says that President
Cleveland's shrewdness and sagacity have
won decisive victory for honesty and com
mon sense. I'VE may expect to see the Nc
kinley tariff law 20 the same way as tn.
