! According to a careful computation in
inle in thirty-eight cities of the United
Statps. Relief works ard soup kitchens
are everywhere features OF metropoli-
tan life. A II of these idle men do not
belong properly to the cities whore they
ore found. Large numbers of them have
drifted In from the interior. But at the
same time there is great desiitution in
the cities themselves. What has
brought about all this widespread troub-
and suffering? We have not just
emerged from an exhausting war. No
great calamity has overtaken US. Our
fields and orchards are as productive as
ever. There is no.lack of breadstufs in
the land. The whole trouble centers in
the fact of the inability of immense
mum bers of wage earners to get money
to purchase of this abundance.
This most distressing condition of af-
than bad legislation. For twenty years
the capitalists, rNonopolists and pluto
Gratis, the managers of our great fnan-
cial Institutions, have been steadily in
creasing the purchasing power of gold
and as steadily making the burdens of
the debter class harder to unload. Fall
ing markets have destroyed industries,
discouraged enterprise and crippled
commerce. Money is piled up in bank
ing centers, and, with steadily falling
markets for all articles of commerce, it
remains there. The elimination of the
greatest crime of the century has been
reached, When. by stealth, silver was
demonstized the climax OF financial in
fanny was achieved and the eight hund-
red thousand idle men in thirty eight
cities, and the other millions in the
land, with their starving families are
the results.

Two American girls have separated
from their husbands and opened an in
teresting question as 10 which of them
were the bigger fool in selecting the
brutes wham they married-Mrs- Chas-
ka, the ife OF Sioux Indian, or the
Princess Colonna, whose mother, Mrs.
Maekey, purchased an Italian Prince
for her. MIS-. Chaska is at least FnIi-
tied to the greater amount Of sympathy.
for she WAS only romantic fool, who
presumedly married brute whom she
thought she loved. while the Princess
Colon ma simply traded herself and Mrs.
Mackey's money for brute with III
tie. 1t was celd-blooded deal, without
any love or sentiment in it. Poor fools,
both of them +; but American cities are
full of Just such foels as Mrs. Mackey's
daughter was, and one by one they re-
turn home after learning how empty
aud hollow a head and heart title may
be coupled with.

The Boise Statesman, in an editorial,
makes some very bright predictions of
prosperity for Southern Idaho, without
naming 1.-THE of the reasons which can
be given for making such predictions.
Boise is the center of territory whose
more varied in character than those
which have built up greaC trade centers
elsewhere. The mining territory both
north and south of that promising city
is now attracting more attention among
capitalists and mining men than ever
before. The agricultural resources of
the country, and the construction of ca
nails to develop them, is now a favorite
field for the investment of capital. That
Southern Idaho excels as fruit region
has bet demonstrated. That beet cul-
ture, for the manufacture of sugar, will
become great industry here, is almost
certainty. Hop growing will employ,
capital. The immense timber regions
north of Boise will, before long, create
an industry tho proportions of which
only Michigan lumberman can com
prehend. Placer mining, on an exten-
sive scale, along the Snake will be be-
gun this coming summer, with promise
of continually employing thousands of
men.
With Boise City as the business CEN
ter of all these growing industries with
no prospect of a rival city between Port
land and Salt Lake, north or south, or
within greater stretch Of country east
and west, that town has brighter out
look and much greater advantages than
the city of Denver could boast OF twenty
years ago. Twenty years ago Denver
had less than twenty thousand inhabi-
tants. Why, within the next twenty
years, should not Boise grow as rapidly
as Denver has in the past twenty years?

Another old railroad project has been
revived, promising line from San
Francisco, via. Red Bluffs, to Boise City,
the fact is that Southern Idaho is be-
coming such an important country that
its trade is attracting attention both east
and west, and some of these proposed
railroad enterprises are bound TO mate
rialize as soon as the country RECEIVERS
from the prostration brought on it by
gold bug and tariff legislation.

He Finds a Beautiful but Deserted
City in Mexico.
NEVER BEFORE VISITED
The Business Blocks Are TWO and Three
stories High and are Built OF
Red Sandstone.

MAPriI, Mexico, Feb. 10 Malvern
w Cresworth, an English mining man,
well known throughout southwest Mex
leo, arrived here today from long
overland journey through the Sierra
MadTe mountains, his starting point
being Curican, near the Pacific coast,
IN the state of Sinaloa. He claims to
have visited a section of country never
before visited by a white man of the
present generation, and that he discov-
cred a large and beautiful deserted
city. He states that the wonderful city
is situated about eighty miles west of
Lake Colorado, in the very recesses of
of the Sierra Madres. 1t occupies a
basin about ten miles long by eight
miles wide. Perpendicular cliffs sur
round the basin on all sides, rising to a
height of hundreds of feet. The only
entrance 10 the city is through deep
canon, which has width of about thirty
feet.
Mr.. Crosworth states that he stun
bled on the secret entrance quite by
accident. He gives a vivid description
of the deserted city. The buildings, he
SAYS, are constructed of red sand stone
blocks, resembling granite. The bust
ness blocks are two and three stories In
height, and are entirely different in
architectural design from the structures
built by the Aztecs and Spaniards. The
streets are very narrow, but are laid
out in regular order In the city is a
small park, which is overgrown with
rare flowers and tropical vegetation
He entered the business houses and de
caying residences, but found very little
of value except some remarkable anC
strange ornaments made of stone. HI
believes the city was looted at the tim'
it was deserted, whenever that ma,
have been. No records or writings o
any kind were found, nor did he dis
cover any skeleton that would give al
idea as to the race of people who a
one time inhabited the city.
Mr.. Cresworth is making diligent in
quiry of them. His story is very start
ling and remarkable, but it is believe
by those to whom he has related hi
experience. He will organize an expe
dition to make a thorough exploratio
of the city.

WHIPPED THE OFFENDERS.
Seven Prisoners Given Dose of Primitive
Justice at New Castle.

Justice Mt New Castle.
New CASTLE, Del, Feb. 19.-One of
the largest crowds that have attended
a whipping in several years was in at
tendance yesterday when the gates of
the Jail yard were thrown open to the
public. Sheriff Gould estimated that
there were at least 500 witnesses. The
paraphernalia used in administering
Delaware justice is very simple, the
whipping post and pillory being com
bined in one structure. The whip used
was the regular cat-o-uine-tails attached
to a wooden handle about two feet long.
There were seven offenders, all colored.
At IL o'clock John Smith, barn burner,
and Levi Gibson, who murderously as.
saulted Josephine Landy, a colored
school teacher, were brought out and
placed in the pillory as sort of curtain
raiser for the remainder of the perfor-
nance. With their necks and wrists
pinioned they were obliged to stand for
an hour. Then they were taken down
and Sheriff Gould appeared upon the
scene with his whip.
Smith was pinioned to the post and
twenty lashes laid on his bare back,
but the sheriff did not strain his muscles
very hard on him, and he left the post
apparently glad to have got off so easy.
Robert Brown was the next to bare his

charged with forgery and perjury in
will case, is likely 10 be tried on
charge of murder. Since Kermien's in
generation in the jail It has been as
serted that ne is the notorious DR.. J. j.
Meyer who poisoned his two wives in
Chicago and young man named Baum
in New York, for which crimes another
man who denies that he is DR.. Meyer is
locked up in New York Develop
ments today point TO Kremier as the
murderer of John FORE, an eccentric
shoemaker who died in October, 1892.
After Forces death Kremein offered
for probate what purported TO be Forces
will. 1t bequeathed 81 600 to Kreimer's
wife. An investigation disclosed that
John FORE was Herman Hanbuch, who
twenty years before deserted a wife
and daughter in Philadelphia. The
daughter contested the will and the
jury declared it to be forgery. Kre-
m!er, his wife and an alleged witness
to the will, Mrs. Lizzie Muller, were
arrested. 1t is now ascertained that
Kremier poisoned Hanbuch. An under
taker declares arrangements were made
by DR.. Kreimer for Forces funeral
several hours before his death The
hody has been exhumed.

ard as he appeared to have a pretty
stout back, the prescribed ten lashes
were laid on pretty hard, but he took
it coolly and gave no outward sign of
pain. He will have xix months in which
to nurse his sore back. Next came
four chicken thieves, James Saunders,
George Platter, Thomas Field and Henry
Floid. They got fifteen lashvs each,
auo the sheriff was not at al spariug
with the cat. Morris G,oding was
the last of the victims. He stole a
horse, buggy robe aud whip. Yester-
day he paid for the robe and whip with
ten lashes, and will pay for the horse
next Saturday with another dose of the
same medicine to the extent of twenty
lashes. The victims took their punish
ment coolly but withered some. Most
of the victims have also terms in
prison 10 serve.

SwindIed Out of Thousands.
PHILADELPHIA, F'eo. 19.-Mrs. Har-
riet Morrison, of Jackson, Mich,
wealthy widow of "a years, accom-
panied by Charles Helling, the husband
of her adopted daughter, and DR.. Blan-
chard, the family physician, presented
themselves at the United States mint
yesterday with two heavy bars of
metal which they supposed to be gold
and worth $50, 1000. The men carried
the metal which weighed eighty-ave
pounds, in a grip and the trio announced
that they had gold bullion to sell. The
mint attaches made an assay of the
metal and discovered that it was moth
ing more than a low grade of copper
and zinc and worth but cents per
pound. Thirteen years ago Mrs. Nor
rison advanced $4,000 to a nephew and
recently stranger came to her with
the two cone shaped bars, which, he
said, were mined by her nephew in
British Columbia, and were worth $780,
600, aud which the nephew wanted to
give her as security for an additional
loan. Mrs. Morrison paid the inter
mendiarv $6,O0O and then the trio
mentioned obove started east to sell
the gold" The old lady is greatly
grieved over the swindle.

The Man Who Will Accomplish the Feat
Is a Noted Mechaniclan.
An engineering feat that will form
part of the history of the country is on
the eve of accomplishment. Coleman
Sellers, whose name has been so promi-
nentlY connected with the preparations
made 10 control the power of Niagara
falls and adapt it to the use of man, by
causing it to turn machinery as far
away as Chicago, anticipates complete
triumph as the result of the coming
tests.
This eminent engineer was born in
Philadelphia in January, 1927, AT 16
he took up farming, hut in 1s4s he en-
tered the employ of rolling mill. Sub
sequently he went to Philadelphia,
where he has long been noted as a
master in many branches of the me
chanical arts. He is a member of the
Franklin Institute, and in addition to
his personal professional work he has
lectured on the science of mechanics.
The feat of Harvesting Niagara will of
course prove his master effort.

MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE.
Fears That Judge Kinnaird of Spokane
Has Committed Suicide.

Fears That Judge Kinnaird of Spokane
Has Committed Suicide.
SPOKANE, Feb. 19.-Anxiety is increas-
ing with reference to the whereabouts
of Judge Joseph M. Kinnaird, who dis
appeared last Wednesday night. He
had been respondent for some time,
and in conversation remarked that he
felt inclined to throw himself into the
river.
Diligent search has been kept up ever
since without bringing to light any
trace of the missing man since the
separation of party of friends with
whom he had associated that evening.
The generally accepted theory at first
was that he had gone to the country,
and for that reason his strange conduct
was kept as quiet as possible, and the
papers were requested not TO mention
it so long as there was probability of
his return. Grave fear is now enter.
tanned that in tit of alteration he has
committed suicide.
