She Fell Down Hill and Literally Turn

Miss Doria Kemp is a lucky young
woman. She went out to sketch in the
hills of old Mexico and while looking for
a brook fell into a bed of gold nuggets.
She Jumped from poverty to comparative
riches in the twinkling of an eye. Her
find netted her 50, 700. Miss Kemp is now
on her way to Paris where she proposes

great painter.
Miss Kemp's life up to the time of her
great discovery was not a particularly
happy one. She was the only child of a
New England farmer who moved west
during her girlhood, and she was left an
orphan at the age of 8 in the mining
regions of Colorado. She engaged at Lead
Vile as companion to lady in search OF
health and travelled with her to old Mex

and the companion finally left her service

Chihuahua.
Miss Kemp had saved little money

ROBERT T. LINCOLN.

Chicago, Aug. 2S.-Since his return
from the court Of st. James little has
been seen of Robert t. Lincoln. He
dropped almost entirely out Of sight
after reaching his old home. Occa-
sionally he would be seen at the Chi
cago club, but he never appeared in
court, and did not go often to his law
office in Woman's Temple. Some of
Mr.. Lincoln's friends remarked that
he was out of the legal swim, and
added that the honor of representing
his country at St. James had proved
very expensive.
These solicitous friends were very
much misinformed. Mr.. Lincoln is kept
quite busy in the law business. He is
the personal legal adviser Of George
NJ. Pullman, and spends practically all
his time in the office of the palace car
magnate. When Mr.. Pullman leaves
town eX-Minister Lincoln accompanies
him. They are constant and insepara-
bic companions. By those who think
they can detect Mr.. Lincoln's style, it
is claimed that all of the prepared in
terviews and correspondence credited
to Mr.. Pullman since the strike began
were the work of ex-Minister Lincoln.

CARLI>LE'~ ORDERS.
GOODS IN BONDED WARE
HOUSES ARE FREE.
Says the Plain Intent of Congress Will
Be Followed Even Where Errors
IN Punctuation Occur

Washington, Aug. %. - Secretary
Carlisle has decided and will instruct
custom collectors that goods placed in
bonded warehouses under the McKin-
ley law and made free of duty under
the new tariff act are entitled to free
entry and need not be exported and
reimported in order to get the benefits
of the new act. This is of special in
terest to the wool trade, a large amount
of wool being stored now in bonded
warehouses. In this, as all other
nOoted questions, the secretary will
follow the intent of congress and let
aggrieved parties appeal to the courts
if they care to contest on technical
grounds. In accordance with this de-
termination he undoubtedly will hold
that diamonds are dutiable, notwith-
standing the erroneous punctuation Of
the free list. The secretary yesterday
sent the following telegram to custom
officials at all ports Of the United
States:

POLITICS IN TILE EIGHTH
Congressman Barren Wants to Be
Renominated

Green Bay. Wis, Aug 28.-That Mr..
Minors name indicates his political
status in the eighth congressional dis
trict is shown by the general hustle
the republicans are in herea bouts just
now. The democrats are allowing
themselves to float with the tide ap-
parently not afraid of being drowned
One of the two only counties of the
seven that Minor claims as solid for
him is Door county, and possibly from
Brown county point of view, it may
so appear; but a spectator not eligible
as a candidate, upon sounding Door
county, reaches very different con-
clusiOn.
AS early as May The State Gazette
advocated Judge Huntington, and.
later, the Green Bay Advocate faced
him with Mayor Gilmore, but as
neither of these gentlemen would ac-
pect unless the nomination was forced
upon them not much has come of it
50 far.
Leaving the republicans to organize
their clubs at Green Bay and Fort
Howard, out at Bay settlement. and at
De Pere, and have their Uphams and
Minors, and that pink Of eloquence,
Lamoreux. to demonstrate their prin-
ciples, the democrats will have fish.
to fry in their district convention.
Congressman Barren thought some
time ago that he should not be a can
didate. Now it appears he will be a
candidate and the original plans must
be reversed
