the fact that the charges brought
against Gilroy in connection with al
legged corruptions in the city govern
ment of New York have been of a
nature to clear him of any downright
law breaking. For Gilroy is one of the
most acute men in Tammany, and
would hesitate to place himself in a
compromising position for very obvious
reasons. It is certain that any inyesti-
eating committee would find it hard to
get him in its clutches.
Now, however, there come stories
bearing every semblance of verify, and
which are Endorsed by competent au-
thority, to the effect that for over q
year past Mr.. Gilroy has been arrang-
ing for trip to Europe at the expira-
ton of his term, and that this trip will
last many months. This is one reason,
according to some, for the peculiar in
vestments the mayor has been making,
and for the care he has taken to con-
ceal tho nature of his property from
everyone. Few persons, for instance,
are aware that Mr.. Gilroy is weather.
than Richard Croker. All his fortune
has been made out of Tammany, and
consists of real estate, stocks, bonds
and gilt edged securities generally.
The real estate is nearly all in the
name of the mayors wife, but his In
vestments in stocks are made through
q broker. As recently as six months
ago Mr.. Gilroy made transfer Of some
OF his investments to new securities,
and the amount thus involved amount
ed to $780,
In addition to that he took an inter
est in two TRUST companies which man.
aged to control east side business in
realty through his efforts and cleared
tens of Thousands of dollars. Besides
this there Is q water company and q
gas concern in which the mayor has
felt lively interest for nearly year.
The mayors favorite way is to take q
small financial interest In corpora
ton which needs municipal influence
for its success, to boom its stock
through his favor as official head Of the
city and when the price goes up to sell
out at q respectable profit. Even the
the politicians who surround Mayor
Gilroy would be astonished to learn
that his income has averaged forty
thousand dollars year during thu
past six years. His fortune to-day u
ct least one million five hundred thou
sand dollars, in assets which can be-
traced very easily as his, but so shrewd
has the mayor been that even those
who know him best can scarcely credit
the fact.
The mayor lives like prince in .
quiet way. His stables are luxurious,
and his home in the city, while modest
outside, contains splendid evidences Of
wealth. His country home is not 50
elaborate interiorly but it is certainly
pretentious. The mayor is becoming
quite literary and has a fine library. His
sons, as is we'll known, are doing well,
or rather one Of them is. His wife
wears finer diamonds than any woman
in New York, and on one occasion
showed them SO conspicuously in q par
lor car as to arouse the hostility Of a
Tammany politicians wife who was in
the same conveyance, and thus began
some rumors that the gentleman who
looks so brave as grand sachem when
he wears the high hat of his Office,
might have trouble in explaining where
he gets all his wealth.

A Curious Parasite.

1t is an old saying that every dog has
his day. According to an English au-
thority, that day is neither very long nor
specially comfortable in FIJI. It is i'm
possible to keep foreign dogs alive for
much more than a couple of years. Those
born there may live four years. The
cause of this mortality Is a species of
worm that lives in the blood vessels, ar
teries and heart. Adult specimens of
this parasite sometimes measure as much
as five inches, and the blood of some an
imals is actually swarming with them.
Puppies are often troubled with them.
although it seems to take about six
months to develop them to a troublesome
stage. When a dog is attacked, it begins
with a sharp barking, which is at once
recognized as the beginning of poor Fido's
last chapter. Thus far no remedy has
been found or eve suggested. The same
parasite is found in dogs in eastern Asia,
and identical symptoms are noted. The
animal may live six months to two years
after the first indications are Observed

American women who long for coro-
nets should hesitate before accepting In
dian ones. The case of an English woman
who sued for divorce from her Hindoo
husband points a moral. She alleged
cruelty as a ground for her suit, and it
is claimed that the same plea might be
made by nearly all the women who mar
ry orientals and go home with them.
As a usual thing, the oriental gentle
man pursuing his studies at an English
or American university is a picturesque
figure. He is likely to be very clever,
and it is taken for granted that he is a
prince at least, when he is at home. He
is popular with his fellows, and through
one of them he meets and marries a
pretty, freely brought up girl. Then he
takes her home.
She may not meet with unkindness
from her husbands family, for the orr
entails have many amiable and attractive
qualities, and they are not cruel. But
if the husband has not cut himself adrift
from the religion and ties of his child
hood his wife must conform to a certain
extent to the ordinary life Of the native
woman. And, inasmuch as she will
only do this 80 far as her love and duty
to her husband oblige her, she will GER
tainly fail to satisfy her new relatives
and will be looked on with GOODNESS and
suspicion by them.-New York World.

Gold Separation.

What is claimed to be the most advan-
tageous process for the separation of fine
gold in placers comes from Montana. 1t
is a dry process, designed especially for
localities distant from sufficient water
for other methods, the ore or gravel be-
ing run through q crusher or steam dri-
er, after which it is dumped into the
hopper of the separator. Dropping from
this, it strikes a powerful blast of air,
which carries it between two sets of
slowly revolving copper cylinders coated
with one-sixteenth of an inch of mer-
curry.
These cylinders are placed in two lines
of three each, one above the other, so
that the dust, driven by the air blast,
passes between them in a wavelike line.
The ore first strikes a cylinder similar
to the others, but revolving in an oppo-
site direction, which catches the coarser
gold and the nuggets. Then, passing
between the other cylinders, all the gold
is caught, however fine, and the waste
is carried by the air blast to a conveyor,
which bears it away. The mercury on
the cylinders is constantly renewed. SO
that a fresh surface is always presented,
and it is asserted that the process has
been subjected to such various tests,
and SO successfully, as to demonstrate
it's peculiar adaptability to the class of
work in question.-New York Sun.

P~ainstaking Forgers.

"Men try in every way possible" said
a prominent bank president, "to obtain
the signatures of New York bankers.
"Their object is evidently to use them
in committing forgeries. At least we
suspect so, and for that reason try to be
as careful as possible in signing letters.
"In this bank we have many letters

that we suspect an Interior motive upon

exchange.
HE always gives the anne reason for
the request-that he wants it for his col

believe that he wants a new bill 50 that

All Snakes Do Not Hiss.

The popular idea that all snakes hiss
is incorrect when anacondas are in ques-
ton, if we may believe a close observer
of the serpent family. The sound they
make is more like a growl than a hiss
and has been well described by a travel
er as a 'low, roaring noise" Their pow
ers of deglutition are sufficiently won
derful to make exaggeration ~unneces-
sary, credible witnesses t~estifying to the

The SUMS Fire.

How was heat originally impaired to
our great luminary? Was he ''born in
fire" and has he been in an active state
of combustion since the day Of his birth,
or was he once "a darksome body, fit
ting hither and thither and yet going

why is he now the torchlight as well as
the heating apparatus of a great system
of worlds, and, being both, who is equal
to the task of calculating even the cycle
Of time wherein the great change took
place? It may have been that there were
no worlds in what is now the solar sys-
tenn prior to that time, or, if there were,
probably only two.
These two black giants Of this dark
ened portion of the great universe may
have collided and coalesced into a vast
nebula, from whence the whole of our
system has been evolved. If light and
heat were thus mechanically produced
and still retained to a certain degree in

ability, but who hated each cordially.
To one of them came a fairy saying that
he could have any boon he desired, and
whatever he had hispartner should have
in double portion. Naturally his first
wish was for a barrel of money. "All
right" said the fairy, "but your partner

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DOGS.

Eskimos Find the Faithful Animal q Ne

without dogs the larger portion of
the great Eskimo family peopling the
barren northern coast of America would

Mammals of Northern Alaska" They
are used in the winter for hunting,
sledge drawing and the like, but in sum-
mer are mostly left to shift for them
selves. They receive much hard usage,
as well as do much hard work, but are
described nevertheless as a rollicking
set, full of play, fond of human society
and quarrelsome as schoolboys.
Mr.. Nelson credits them with q vein Of
humor and declares that their varying
characteristics can be read in their faces.
They are worth from $2to SIS apiece. &C
cording to age, size and intelligence.
For sledge drawing they are harnessed
in teams of either eve or nine-three
or four pairs and a leader. The load is

Nelson made a journey OF more than
1900 miles in about two months. The
last 60 miles were made over a bad road
in a continuous pull of q hours. They
are much affected by the moon. During
full moon half the night is spent by them
in bowling in chorus.
During the entire winter at st. Mi
chael's," says Mr.. Nelson, 1--WE wereinva-
riably given a chorus every moonlight
night, and the dogs of two neighboring
villages joined in the serenade." He
speaks of its wild, weird harmony"
and seems to have found it agreeable
rather than otherwise. The influence of
the noon is also very apparent when the
dogs are travelling. They brighten up
as the moon rises, and pricking up their
ears start off as if they had forgotten
their fatigue. The fur traders take adj
vantage of this fact and sometimes lie
over during the day and travel at night.
The dogs endure an astonishing degree
of cold. Mr.. Nelson saw a female with
two newly born puppies lying upon the
snow near a hut, with no sign of shelter,
when the thermometer ranged from 80
to 35 degrees below zero.

A Luxury of the Rich.

A modern treatment of v pros
tration requires that the patient be put
to bed in a quiet room and fed for weeks
on m quantities Of milk. He
must take exercise, however, and this he
does by proxy through the device of
massage. He must do absolutely moth
ing for himself, and if his nose itches the
nurse must scratch it. Patients under
such treatment sometimes gain four or
five pounds of flesh per week. It is of
course a luxury of the rich.-Philadel-
