A VALUABLE RELIC
How the Mount Vernon Ladies' Associa-

How the Mount Vernon Ladies' Associa-
 tiOn Secured a Washington Coach.
 In connection with the restoration of the old coach-house, which was entire ly rebuilt by Michigan during the past year, there is an interesting story of the search for one of Washington's old coaches to replace in the old quarters. Though a search was instituted year ago in New York and Philadelphia for the lost coach, says the New York Post, there were no traces of it up to the date of the completion of the coach house in May. At that time MT. Dodge, the superintendent at Mount Vernon, ascertained that Washington coach had been sold from an auction room in Philadelphia to Forepaugh's Circus company for fifty dollars, and also that the Pennsylvania commissioners had tried unnecessarily to get it from the company last summer for the Colum- bian exposition. NIT. Dodge immedi- ately corresponded with FOrepaugh's s, and Barnum & Bailey's circus com panies, and also with MT. Brownfield, chairman of the Pennsylvania commis- sioners. MT. Brownfield used the large opportunities at his command in get ting on the track of the coach, and in June a letter was received from him to the effect that the coach had been traced to the wreck of a circus train lin the vest" and was probably a ruin. But the end was not yet. Sus- pecting that he might have been mis- led, MT. Brownield renewed the hunt, which ultimately resulted in finding the coach safely stored away. Mir. Dodge at once opened negotiations for its purchase, but further proceedings were arrested by Mir. Brownfeld's re- serving for himself the privilege of pre- senting the coach to the Mount Vernon Ladies' association

Course of the Colorado River.

Lieut.. Roberson, U. s. A., recently returned to Los Angeles after making a trip with three companions in q small boat down the Colorado river, from Yuma to the Gulf of California, to ascertain if the channel could be made navigable for commerce. The river, he says, changes it's course in many places every year at the time of the June rise, shifting it's bed often as much as six or eight miles to left or right, and it would be impossible to impound the water so as to secure 8 regular navigable channel. The tides, too, about the mouth of the river are most cratic; one of it's features is the great bore, which, near the full of the moon every month, sweeps in solid wall of water several feet high, up the upper part of the gulf and twenty miles into the mouth of the Colorado. An attempt to float any boat in the rivers mouth at that time would be fatal. At the mouth of the river the party found the ruins of an old ship yard and the decaying hulks of five steamers, half sunken in the mud, the relics of an attempt made some twenty three years ago to establish line Of steamers to ply up the river to Fort

PIa~fa Marble.

In one account Of Rome the author mentions five or six slabs of plastic marble as being in the possession of Prince Borghese. Being set on end, they bend backward and forward: when laid horizontally and raised at one end they form curve: if placed on table and piece of wood or any. other substance is laid under them they fall into a kind of curve, each end touching the table. Abbe Fortis was told that they were dug up near the town of Mondragon, in the kingdom of Naples. The grain is like that of fine Carrara marble, or perhaps of the finest Greek. They seem to have suffered some attack of fire. A slab of marble similar in every respect to those described, and highly poi ished, has been exhibited for more than twenty-five years at the British museum. NJ. Fleuvian de Belvae sue ceeded in making common granular limestone, a granular quartz, com pletely flexible by exposing to a certain degree of heat. In Lincoln cathedral, England, there is an arch built of white marble which is quite elastic, yielding to heavy tread, and returning or rebounding to it's original position on true elastic principles.

POWERFUL WAVES.
The Effect of Gale Over the Great Salt
 Lake.

LasSes A correspondent of the Youths Com panion recently witnessed most con- vincing proof of the weight of salt laden waters of the Great Salt lake, A strong gale of wind was blowing over the lake and driving it's surface into low, white-capped ridges. while along the shore the foam lay likedlat banks of new-fallcn snow. If if had passed across a lake Of fresh water of equal extent that wiedIe ,,9ould urques- tionably lave produced s;.cil an agita- tion of it's surface that navigation in small boats would have been difficult if not highly perilous.
 But the waters of the Great Salt lake, although driven into ridges as just remarked, showed a curious re- sistance to the wind and the waves, rising to onlya slight elevation, moved along with an appearance of lethargy that the eye could not but notice.
 Yet there was an immense momen- tum stored up in those low, heavy, slow-moving waves. Venturlng into the water at point where the depth
 
 found that it was impossible to stand against them. Their sheer weight swept him resistlessly along.
 The curious buoyancc of the water, containing twenty-two per cent. of salt in solution, increased the helpless ness of the bather. He was not sub- merged, as sometimes occurs in the Atlantic breakers, but was lifted and carried like cork.
 It would probably have been impos- sible to dive through an oncoming wave after the manner practiced by bathers along the Atlantic coast In the Great Salt lake people are not drowned through sinking, but stran- gled while still afoat The bitter water may enter the air passages with fatal effect, but the body continues to float until it reaches the shore or is picked up.

Hetty Greens "Extravagant Boy"

A New York man tells character istic story of Mrs. Hetty Green. He was the Chemical bank in New York one day in conversation with the cash fer when Mrs. Green passed through into an inner office. The cashier called out and said:
 ''Oh, by the way, Mrs. Green, your son bought that railroad yesterday"
 Did he?" said the lady, stopping short. ''Iiow much did he pay for it?''
 ''Two million five hundred thousand dollars"
 ''The extravcgant boy!" said the fond mother indignantly. If I had been there could have bought it for fifty thousand dcllGrs less!'
 That was the only comment she made on the transaction. which most people would consider Of supreme magnitude. 2 The chances are that she was right.

Points in PalnliStry.

An interesting discussion has sprung up among the palmists in regard to the line of the hand known as the mar riage line. One recognized authority says that when this line curves upward the possessor is not likely to marry at all Other experts say they know many married and happy people with such line. It is also alleged that the transverse line on the hill of Mer- cury,'' which one party says is the mar riage line, is not so considered by the Chirological society. ''Our opinion, !" says the editor of the party organ, ''is that these lines are signs of attach ment, and there is scarcely a hand ever seen without at least one in the hand
 of either married or unmarried people. :"

It Was Against Orders to Shoot. So He
 Raided the Soldiers Camp Nightly.
 "When was in Yellowstone Park this summer" said a Wyoming Valley man, lone of the gamekeepers told me about bear that worried camp of government soldiers almost to despera- tion for several weeks Late one night bear waddled into camp, ripped open tent, put the soldiers to flight, got what he wanted to eat, and went away The next night the bear came around again, smashed down a tent and stolea smoked ham. Under the park rules the soldiers were prohibited from fir ing at the thievish brute, as we'll as from jabbing bayonet into him, and the only thing they could do when the bear appeared and went to helping himself to rations was to get out of his way. Night after night the bold beast made raid on the camp and ruined tent or two. My informant said that the bear acted as if he knew that the soldiers daren't fire at him, and that on each visit he became more saucy and destructive than before. When the bears raids had become unbeara- ble the commandant sent the facts to the secretary of the interior and asked what to do. Word came back to shoot the bear. and that night, when bruin strode boldly into camp, the soldiers put an end to his career by riddling him with bullets"

Privacy of European Homes.

The Spaniard, however courteous he may be, never invites a guest to din ner; in Italy, too, the privacy of the family is seldom invaded at the dinner hour; the Frenchman is delighted to entertain, but prefers to do it at his club, while the Englishman is never so genial as when seated at his own table with company surrounding him.

INFECTED CATTLE.
Kansas Sanitary Commission Brings
 Criminal Proceedings.

TOPEKA, Kan, Oct. 22.-The Kansas state live stock sanitary commission was in session today, and ordered the attorney general to institute proceed ings against Peter McMullin, of Bur. lington, and Phillip Bulger, of Baxter Springs, for shir ping deseased cattle into Kansas, in violation of the quar- antine regulations heretofore imposed by the commission. The cattle were shipped from New ton county, Mo-, and the offence charged is the shipment of diseased cattle to point within the district. The cattle were quarantined immediately upon their arrival at Bur- llngton and Baxter Springs.
 A suit is already pending at the in- stance of the board against the Missouri Kansas & Texas Railway company, for transporting diseased cattle into Linn county, consigned to J. c. Wannick, of Goodrich. A criminal proceedings will also be commenced against Wannick for shipging cattle known to be afflicted with fever. The board also considered the Chase county cattle case today and will probably order the release in November of cattle quarantined in that county.

 CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The manager of @ publishing house wanted 8 young and comedy woman to exhibit paper dress patterns in the windows of State street store and advertised for "a little beauty to work in store window" :" Eight women have answered his ad- vertisement and not one of them is a beauty nor little. ''She must be re- fned," said the manager wearily, "and she must have neat, trim figure. It does not matter whether she is dark or light. I'll dress her to suit her com plexion. 1 iust want to see the girl that suits me, and I'll pay her good money. But 1 cannot get anybody. It's amusing and discouraging to see the women that think themselves beau tiful. The great trouble with most of the applicants is that they have a con- plexion past, you know, and sallow. Of all the unemployed women there must be in Chicago, it seems strange that cannot get hold of good looking one for such light, easy work.

The American, it is said, secured $100,- 900, but left the steamer at Acapulco on his way north and has disappeared.

MAY KNIFE OWENS.
Dear Willie Not a True Party
 Man.
Fears Entertained by the Friends of Owens That BreCkinridge May
 Try to Defeat Him.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 LEXINGTON, Ky, Oct. 22.-The friends of MT. Owens here are becoming alarmed at the growing strength of the Republican candidate. Judge Geo. Denny, and are casting about for way to conciiiate the friends of Col. Breckin' ridge. who hold it in their power to de. feat the Scott county man.
 That large part of the Breckin. ridge people will knife Mr. Owens seems now almost certain, and should MT. Denny poll the full strength of his party, which seems probable, Repub lican may represent the Seventh dis trict in the next house.
 A prominent politician in this city who fought bitterly for Col Breckinridge said today: ''If Mir. Owens friends do not wake up from their lethargy and do some tail hustling. their favorite candidate will be defeated. I figure that the vote will be cast as follows Owens, 15,e00; Denny, 16,000. The total Democratic vote in the district is between Is, 900 and 19,000. and the total Republican vote about 13.500. Now, l believe that & moderate estimate of BOG Democrats in each of the eight counties of the district will vote for Denny, and this means 2,430 votes to be taken trom the total Democratic vote aud added to Denny's vote. Whether this will be borne out on election day or not re- maina to be seen, but one thing is cer- tain, MT. Owens has no cinch on the congressional chair"
 Then the Breckinridge man winked and said yes, he intended to vote for Mir. Owens, but his friends were very sore, and he could not answer jor them.

Judge Priests hair and whiskers are white as snow but that did not prevent him from opening his remarks by di- rect bid for all the ladies to use their influence in his behalf. He soon got down to business1ike statistical talk about county affairs, than he with which no one is more familiar, and sue cessfully refuted some of the argu- ments of the benighted Democratic brethren. Upon the subject of free trade, MT. Priest touched lightly before closing. He related that he remem- bered the time some forty-fve years ago when England entered upon her free trade career when farmers of that country were receiving as high as $1.74 bushel for wheat and that now it is quoted there at 50 cents.

TILLMAN'S DILEMMA.
Can He Confiscate Spirits Stored in
 Bonded Warehouses?

WASHINGTON, Oct. Ex-Governor Tillman of South Carolina, was at the treasury department today and had an interview with Commissioner Miller of the internal revenue bureau, in regard to question on which there seems to be conflict between federal and state authorities. Under the dispensa1y laws of the state of South Carol ,.... distilled spirits in the custody of tne United States in bonded warehouses belonging to parties who have violated the provisions of the dispensary law by selling them within the state are de- clared to be nuisance, and on con- viction the state officers gre authorized to seize and confscate the liquor. In all such cases the governor proposes to tender the tax due to the government and confscate the spirits, contending that the federal officials have no right to interfere in the matter. Commis- sioner Miller took i5sue with the gov ernor and cited several decisions of the courts, among them one by the eu- preme court of the United States, wherein it was held that goods in bonded warehouses were not subject to any process or proceeding issuing from 8 state court and that SO long as the government retained control of the goods it's jurisdiction and authority was supreme. No final decision, however, was reached, and it is probable that in deference to the wishes of Governor Tiliman the question will be referred to the attorney general for an opinion.

JULES VERNE'S IDEA.
A Boat Invented Like the
 Nautilus.
A Baltimore Inventor Will Construct aVesSeI That May Be NaVi-
 gated Under Water.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 22-A Balti- more inventor hopes to make real the imaginary voyage of Jules Yerne's boat, Nautilus, under the sea. After years of steady experimenting Simon Luke, of East Baltimore, has invented a submarine boat, which he claims is capable of accom- plishing what Jules Verne suggested might be possible in the imaginary voyage Of the Nautilus. Indeed, if Mr. Luke's invention is S success, the French romancer will have only half anticipated what the coming submarine boat will be capable of.
 MT. Luke says: "The boat is capa- ble of being submerged to any depth and again raised to the surface at the will of the operator.
 'It is capa ble of being propelled when on the surface or when sub merged or on the bottom of the water, as may be required Many of the op- erations in raising vessels and remov- ing cargoes can be performed from it without going outside of it.
 "The vessel is capable of searching the bottom thoroughly in locating wrecks, with the assurance that ground once gone over is thoroughly gone over. Divers can pass from the in- terior of the boat to the outside and back again when on the bottom as readily as they can PASS in and out of a house."
 The inventor expects to commence his first boat in few weeks. William T. Malster, president of the Colum mbia iron works, has become financially in- terested in the Lake Wrecking and Submarine Navigation company, which has charge of the invention.

 "The road must either go into the hands of the first mortgages, or prove itself capable of running without re- ceiver. The latter is impossible. The road will be foreclosed within @ year and the mortgages assume the manage ment.
 "The company will probably be re- organized under the laws of the state of Illinois instead of Kansas, which means the headquarters of the road will be transferred from Topeka to Chicago"
