REFORM IN DREAM GULCH.
A Chapter from the Earlier History of a
Lively Camp

~ SuhPteE iTO" tae nIStOEs oI u
Lively Camp.
There were good many curious
people in Dream gulch in its earlier
days." said an old forty miner" but
perhaps none of them was more curl
ous than William Blint, the hearse
driver. As a matter of fact. there was
no hearse, but there was a wagon
which was used for a hearse, and
William Blint drove it. Blint's pe-
culiarity lay in his whistling. And he
wasn't remarkably good whistler,
either; but he whistled all the time, on
duty and off. I've seen him walking
into a ca bin with coffin on his shoul-
der. whistling. And I've seen him
whistliug while he was driving a
hearse. And he wasn't hard hearted
man, You understand; on the contrary,
he was very gentle-hearted.
There was an accident in one of the
mines in the gulch, and lot of men
weEe killed The whole camp turned
ont at the funeral: in fact the whole
camp was greatly touched. and even
the gambling houses were closed.
Among the miners at the funeral there
was one named Melancthon lngbv. a
new conner 1t so happened that when
the procession started off this man
Ingby was right alongside the head
hearse, which Bill drove. When the
procession moved Bill began to whistle
as usual This man lngby listened ia
him for about minute apparently
vc-y much surprised. and then he sur.
prised everybody else himself by shoot
ing William off the box; and when Bill
fell off into the road this man Ingby
got up and took his place.
There was an inquest over Bill. buI
1ngby was vindicated by the coroner.
jury, and public sentiment vindicated
him, too. The fact is Bills popularity
had come over the gulchers so gradual.
ly that they had never realized the
true nature of it: but Inghv's pistol
shot walked 'em up. and it led to a gen.
eral demand on the authorities that
the new hearse driver should be a man
that didn't whistle. ~ Y. SUP

An Indiana Lawyers Discovery After Be-
curing Countsrfeiter's Acqaittal.
Several years ago. when Judge
Francis J. Reinhard, the well-known
German lawyer Of indianapolis was q
young but enthusiastic attorney
practicing at Crown Point. says the
Indianapolis Sentinel, he was called in
to defend . man charged with circu-
lating counterfeit money. He talked
with the accused several times in Jail
and became impressed with the idea
that the man was honest and was
literally being outraged by the
authorities. Mr.. Reinnard entered
into the case with Characteristic earn
estness and prepared himself thorough
ly to make the defense. When the
case came to preliminary hearing the
lawyer made a terrific fight and Sc
cured the discharge of his client Out
client buttonholed Lawyer Reinhard
and, leading him into an alley out of
sight of the gaping crowd. paid him
his fee with ten silver dollars. Then
with tears in his eyes he thanked the
lawyer and went his way. Mr.. Rein
hard Immediately proceeded to the
Office of friend to WI ON he owed q
debt of sixty-five cents and rendered
one of his newly-made dollars.
Say. Frank" said the friend, after
an investigation of the money, this
dollar is counterfeit"
You're certai My mistaken" replied
Lawyer Reinhard, Il just took IL as
confident is honest and perfectly relia-
BILE. am not easily mistaken in my
estimate of the character of my clients. :"
''That may all be so," replied the
friend; but this money is spurious
just the same, and to prove it wewill
just go over to the bank"
Thereupon the gentlemen went to
the bank, not far away, and laid down
the dollar, asking for change. The
teller, an elderly and conservative
man, adjusted q monocle to his eye,
gazed long and earnestly at the coin
and then showed it back through the
window with the remark:
Gentlemen, we don't take such
money as that here. 1t is rank coun-
terfeit."
Judge Reinhard at that time, as now,
was very gentlemanly in diction and
manner, but he couldn't help himself,
and with the one expression: "Well,
I'll be id" turned on his heel and
went out on the street. Every last one
of the silver dollars he had worked SO
hard to earn was counterfeit, and
within short time thereafter his hon
est client was sent to the prison south
for five years for making and circulat-
ing crooked money.

FAME IS THEIRS.
THREE YOUNG MEN WHO ARE At
TRAcTtNG ITS ATTENTION.
Dvorsk. the Gifted Composer; Victor Her
bert, Musician and Writer; De Koven, q
Composer and Critic-A Talented Trio
Who Reside In New York.

New YORK, Jan A.-Three men. each of
them comparatively young, one OF them
Pole, possessing the intense energy OF that
race; another an Irish-American. the grand
son of one of the most brilliant OF ireland's
literary men, and the third an American,
suggesting in his manner and methods that
type of young American men vino have been
blessed with early opportunities, are at
tracing the attention both OF the literary
and the musical world of this country by
recent works, all of them suggesting talent
and some of them true genius.
These men are Dvorak, who is now re-
garded, with perhaps single exception. as
the ablest writer of orchestral music now
living, and who is at the head of one of the
greatest conservatories of music in this
country, that one created through the en-
ergy and enthusiasm of Mrs. Janette Thur
ber Another one of this trio is Mr.. Victor
Herbert, who is grandson OF Samuel Low
er, himself a musician and the writer OF
what many believe to be the best short
story OF humorous nature ever written IN
the English tongue, and also the writer OF
that exquisitely funny novel "Hany Andy.
The third member of this trio is Reginald
de Koven, who has achieved not only fame,
but very handsome fortune, by reason OF
the success which followed the production
of three operettas which he has composed,
one of which has probably earned more
money than any other operetta sung upon
the American stage. excepting 'Pinafore."
These distinguished musicians and bril-
liant writers live in New York city, and
they have revealed that later tendency
which is enabling those who make pur-
suit of music either in composition or in
strumental performance to escape from the
narrow limitations which it used to impose
on those who followed it. De KOven is not
only a talented composer, but he is also
very competent critic, being singularly felic-

when songs are being sung and stories told,
the entire outfit could be aptly designated
by a term which is neither sectional nor
soft.
As these two streams move down the
avenue in opposite directions the sharp OBJ
server will note that ON the south side of
that thoroughfare, the questionable and
infrequented side, where few people walk,
five or six men of distinguished appearance,
each wearing high hat, are trudging along.
They are laughing and joking like boys
out of school. Look closer, and you will
perceive they are the chief justice and a
number of the associate justices of the su-
preme court of the United States. Why
they always take that lonely side of the
street is known only to themselves, unless
they wish to avoid mingling with common
senators and representatives. But they in
variably do take that side. which has now
become known as The Supreme Court

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
FLINT Is COMING.

After the run of farce, comedies, dramas
and combinations, the entertainments of
the Flints are as welcome to theatre goers
as shower to thirsty land. Flint is
recognized as the ablest exponent of
hypnOtism, and his fame has extended
across the ocean. French authorities
recognize his eminence and his services to
the scientific world. His work here last
season awakened great interest which has
continued unabated. Every day witnesses
new developments in the science and in
creased attention in its mysteries by all
professional men, until today the man
who has bestowed no thought to this
topic is justly considered laggard in in
tellectual life. Besides all this, the Fiints
give funnier show than any circus
minstrel or company.

Popular Intelligence.

The latest census bulletin, relating tC
illiteracy, is one Of the most interesting
and instructive that has yet been issued.
1t shows, generally speaking, that in
1890 there were 6,324,7O2 persons in
the United States over ten years of age
or more than Ii per cent of the total
population who could not read or write.
This looks to be q remarkably large
number, considering the abundant ed
ucational facilities of the country, and
it is certainly larger than it ought to be,
but there are certain mitigating features
in the case. The statistics include the
colored people and the foreign born
whites, among whom the greatest part
of the illiteracy exists. That is to say,
the percentage of colored illiterates is
Z, and of foreign illiterat es Ii while
the proportion OF native white litter
ates is only little over per cent. The
showing is all improvement upon that
Of 1880 in the sense that the general per
,entage of i lteracy has been reduced
per cent. oiugularly enough, the col
bred people have done better in this re-
pect than either the native or foreign
born whites, which goes to prove that
hey are taking advantage of the schools

we ought never to be ashamed Ever
graceful, particularly in youth, it is
the star Of sympathy; and noble is
the heart that melts at the tale of
woe. We should hot permit ease

selves to think of the distresses of
