of his birthday by the societies or clubs In
this country,
Bismarck" said he, was always too
great a man 20 countenance any hostile
spirit toward the emperor, always being
loyal TO the principles of legitimacy and
the will Of his sovereign. he was always
conscientious in the discharge of his duties
as he understood them, and to-day he is as
dear 20 the heart Of every true son of the
Fatherland as ever. II the societies and clubs
IN this country took official action it
would look altogether too much like mix
ing up In the politics of Germany, and now
that all internal dissension has ceased in
Germany, we honor the prince as Amer
lean citizens and as his German born ad-
mirers."
One of the gifts sent 10 the ex-chancellor
attracted considerable attention among the
Germans OF the country. It was sent from
California and was seen In New York for a
brief period before crossing the ocean.
Some months ago a number of Bsmarckis
admirers in California determined to send
him token of their esteem. The testimon-
ial took the form Of an album of an original
and novel kind. The album is a section Of
red wood cut from a tree, with a lid Of the
same material covering IA rectangular open
ing followed out III the wood. In the box
photographs 70 the number OF fifty, finished
IN the very best style and illustrating the
most familiar scenes in California, were
stored, and smooth leather strap, fastened
to the inner edge OF the box and having a
silver mounted end, serves as a tab or rib
bon, with which to lift the photographs.
Resting at the top of the photographs was
an Illuminated dedication to the prince, and
on a second sheet, handsomely ergrossed,
was brief poem, expressing the sentiment
OF the donors in sending the gift to the
fathsrlsnd from the distant Golden state.
The exterior of the case or album was
highly polished. The wood around the edge
had been left rough, just as the bark had
been stripped of, and was polished in that
shape. On the cover, in a sort OF block let
ter, made Of solid silv er, about three-eighths
of an zach thick, are the two words:

He staked a Gam bier.

A group of men was standing in the Office of
one of the leading hotels yesterday. and the
talk turned to gambling and gamblers. says the
Louisville ColtrieT-Journai. One OF the pa -ty,
q fine looking, portly man, with rubicund
countenancr, said:
"What am going to relate took place in New
Orleans in 1868. A neatly dressed. quiet man
nered fellow accosted me in the office of the St
Charles hotel aud wanted TO borrow go. He
was Charles Coree. a FrenchmRu, and high
roller at faro. He had been in New Orleans a
week and had gone broke He said he felt like
he could win if l could only lend him stake :
After some persuasion / let him have the
money with the understanding that was to
have half of his winnings, and that as soon as
he had won enough to take care of himself he
should pull out my half. l thought no more
about the matter, and after reading a little
while | went to my room and went to sleep.
About O'Clock in the morning boy came
to my room, woke me up and handed me a
package. II contained $500 and q note from
Coroe saying that it was my half of the win
nings and that could take it or send It back to
be played on, as l chose. 1 thought $500 on a
$50 investment was pretty good, so put the
money In my pocket and decided to let we'll
enough alone.
1.-The first thing heard the next morning was
that Coree had won s.. 600 He kept on playing
and In twenty.four hours had won, all told.
$4,000 / did not see him for good many
years after that, and when we met again he had
plenty of money. The second meeting was our
last and have not heard a word from him
since"

the jewels had come from, and she had re-
spected his desire even at the cost of throw
ing serious reflection upon her own char
acter. Besides, another thought had actu-
ated her il the course she had pursued. To
have admitted that Bbe had received from
the pitman some thousands of pounds worth
of jewelry would have denoted the existanoe
of an intimacy between herself and Hugh
Eastwood, which would have appeared OF a
seriously compromising character TO the
outside world.
70 one being only-Paul Meredith-was
Salone prepared TO speak the whole truth
concerning the unfortunate jewels. Had
her lover been at home she would have
flown to him with her troubles-had he even
been within reach Of letter she might
have obtained such counsel az would have
enabled her to confront and master the
difficulties facing her then. But Paul was
far away, and there was none else ia whom
whom she cared to confide.
Thus thinking she gained the gate which
divided the grounds of the vicaraRe from
the high road, and was passing through into
the Seni-darkness of the quiet and appa-
rently deserted lane, when she heard q
quick step, and, pausIng, man came to-
ward her out Of the gloom, stopping beside
her.
Aren't you Miss Barringham?" the new
conner asked lowly, as he peered into her
face
ayes. What do you wantF"
Here's a note for you then, miss"
He held out something white she grasped
it. and the man disappeared as quickly as
he had come. The white object he had
thrust into her hand was an envelope, that
bulge3 under the pressure of its contents.
She glanced ct it eagerly, but even her keen
eyes could not decipher the address, the
light was so faint.
Her first impulse was TO turn back home-
ward. but she did not act upon it. Instead
Of doing so, she walked sharply along the
high road until she arrived in the center Of
the hamlet of Thorrell Moor At the en-
trance to the village tavern there burned
bright lamp, aud under it Salome burst the
envelope asundsr with trembling fingers.
The contents rustled crisply in her hands,
and her ACKNOWLEDGEMENT when her gaze
fell on a small bundle of Bank of England
notes pinned to which she found on further
inspection the following message:.
Miss CHARACTERIZATION are in the gravest
danger so long as you remain in this neighbor-
hood. Lady Carsland is determined TO bottom
the mystery surrounding the jewels She has
already written to her solicitor, and is believe,
in communication with the police authorities at
is 10 be lost. If you value your liberty you will
leave this place at once. beseech you to 20
and to accept the enclosed a slight token of
my kindly feelings toward Yourself. Whenever
you are in need OF help would strongly impress
upon you the fact that you need have no
scruples in applying to me. In great haste,

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
In the form most acceptable and pleas

beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

All That Glitters Is Not Gold.

What imagination will do where
gold is concerned is illustrated by the
story of certain volcanic island in
the Indian Ocean, the sand along the
shore of which is filed with gold
colored crystals of chrYsolite or gold
stone" These crystals glitter brightly
in the sun, and about a century ago a
crazy Frenchman, struck with the
brilliancy Of the pebbles, supposed
that he had hit upon riches compared
to which the wealth of Ormus and of
Ind was as nothing. He collected
quantities Of the crystals heated
them in crucible. and fancied that
he produced ingots from them. His
delusion was quite harmless, but only
a few years ago lot Of chrysolite-
bearing sand from the island was
shipped to France and made great
sensation. Great numbers of people
went wild about it, and companies
were organized to begin mining oper-
ations along the strand Of the golden
isle. 1t was declared that the sup
plies of precious metal to be obtained
from that source were inexhaustible.
Much money was spent 10 the Wild
cat enterprise, which. even to this
day, has not been wholly abandoned.

Only a Semicolon.

A semicolon incorrectly used is re-
sponsible for great deal Of trouble
to the surface railroads The act,
which relates to railroad crossings is
as follows: stNo electric, cable or
horse railroad shall hereafter be con-
structed across the tracks Of a steam
railroad at grade; nor shall any steam
railroad cross any such electric, cable,
or horse railroad at grade, except
upon application and approval by the
railroad commissioners" The pre-
ceding was approved, semicolon and
all, June IL, 1889. and became a law.
The result is that while steam roads
can cross surface lines at viii with
the permission of the. railroad COM
missioners street and electric roads
are barred from crossing steam roads
with or without permission.
