setts man had fine stock farm. But
few weeks ago a fire broke out in
the barn, and burned not only the
building and the hay, bat most of the
animals also. After the tire the owner
walked over the ruins. IL was sad
sight to see the charred bodies of his
fine Jersey cows and his high-spirited
horses, TO say nothing OF the money
lost with tsem. But at the end OF the
barn he saw sight which touched
him more than all the rest. There
sat an old black hen. Ho wondered
that She did not move her head TO look
at him as he came near her. but he
thought she must be asleep. He poked
her with his cane, and TO his surprise
the wing which he touched fell into
ashes. Then he knew that she had
beeu burned To death. But out from
under her wing came faint little
peep. aud pushing her aside with his
cane, the man fouud--what do Won
think?--ten little live yellow chickens!
The poor hen had sacrificed her own
life to save them. and had held her
place In the lire. as Casabianca held
his on the burning deck. That sight
touched the man more than every
thing else. Churchman.

STEAMER PARIS IN TROUBLE
The Rudder OF the Famous Ocean Racer
Disabled

DhNDteu.
LONDON. Feb. 10. The American
line steamer Paris, Captain Randie,
which sailed February 10 from South
ampton for New York, was sighted
early this morning lying at anchor off
Roche's point at the entrance to
Queenstown harbor
Shortly after daylight the Paris set
signals that her rudder was disabled:
IL was learned that the Paris had been
compelled TO use her twin screw as
steering apparatus on her return. The
accident Is reported to have occurred
when the steamer was 1856 miles west
OF Queenstown.
On board are eighty-four first and
10G second class passengers. She sus-
tanned no damage other than that 10
her rudder 1t is probable that the
Paris will be towed to Liverpool for
repairs. The day the Paris sailed there
was strong westerly gale in the lower
channel and many vessels were com
PEELED to seek refuge at channel ports.
On Sunday. the next day, the gale i'm
creased in severity and incoming vessels
reported very heavy weather. At
night the wind veered to southwest
and continued to blow with great fury
until Monday night. Every part of
Ireland was affected by the storm. Ii
is likely that the Paris ran into the
center OF this storm.
On Monday last heavy sea struck
the rudder OF the Paris, swapping the
post off in the trunk. The steamer
held her westword course until Tues
day afternoon, when it was decided to-
put her about

A FEELING OF DlSTRUST.
The Associated Press Refuses to Make
Financial Statement.

The Associated Press Refuses to Make .
Financial Statement.
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.--There is a feeling
of distrust among some of the eastern
Associated Press papers on account o;
an incident at the meeting which toob
place here yesterday and regarding
which some reassuring accounts were
telegraphAd all over the country
last night. A detailed financial state
ment was asked for by one of th,
members, but the management de
clined to furnish IT. This memD Der was
particular before joining the Associa
ted Press to satisfy himself about it,
financial condition and he is believed
to have learned enough at Yesterday
meeting to satisfy him that the repre-
sentations upon which he joined the
organization were grossly mislead
ing. The reason given by the
management for its refusal to furnish
even the most meager financial detailt
was that it might have some effect on
the war" which was still in progress.
This statement does not agree with
the prepared report of the meeting
which was careful to say that the
struggle was practically brought to o
close. The only evidence tha,
was presented on this point was the
statement in the report that the pres
ence here OF nearly all the daily news.
papers of the country must naturally
indicate that such was the fact. The
arrangement made all that wa,
possible OF the circumstances
that 10l members were rece.v
ing the news of the Associated
Press. The fact was evidently over
looked that this showing would be 9
very unfavorable one when placed side
by side with the fact that the number
of newspapers now being served by. the
United Press is between 800 and 400
east, west, north and south. And thi
number will be increased
for within twenty-four houn
1t has received many appli
cations for its service from the western
territory. These applications will be
granted in all cases where there can be
no conflict with existing contracts and
franchises. These the United Press
will protect to the fullest extent.

BILLY OeUTSCH'S DEATH.
Incidents I'm the Career of "A Wonderful
Man.

Man.
New YORK, Feb. 1G.-.The news of
Billy Deutsch's death in Denver was
received here with general regret.
Deutsch was born in this city forty
eight years ago, and was widely known
as man about town and famous
gambler. He was practically unknown
until 1873, when he went into the theat-
rical business. His cousin, Maurice
Grau, was instrumental in making
Billy, as he was familiarly called,
a manager. He was identified with
Grau's ventures for nearly two years.
He then purchased the play The
Mighty Dollar" This play proved
veritable bonanza. Deutsch ran it for
five seasons ard then sold out 1t is
claimed that he made Sl25, 900. lie
went to Europe with this sum in his
possession.
While in Paris Deutsch tried his luck
at baccarat. He more than doubled
his fortune at the prince Of Wales IA
vorite game. lie then began career
of extravaganza that made him famous
throughout Europe and earned for him
the title of the king of baccarat. He
trailed about the continent of Europe
with n retinuc of servants and caval-
cade OF horses. Nothing was too ex-
pensive and very few things good
enough for Deutsch or the friends upon
whom he lavished money and gifts.
Ii was not an uncommon act for him to
invite the entire audience in music
hall to drink at his expense. He spent
many thousands of dollars in this way.
In the spring of 1885 Deutsch was
penniless. lie returned to Paris on bor-
rowed money, and, after many rever-
ses, his phenomenal luck at baccarat
again asserted itself. lie built
frame piece up to 5000 900. lie returned
to this country with that amount in
his possession in the summer OF 1885.
He brought his servants, horses and
carriages with him The best suite of
rooms in the Hoffman house was occu-
pied by him during his stay in tins
city. This visit, according to his
own words, cost him in the
neighborhood Of S20O,OOo In less than
six months after his return to France
Deutsch had lost all his money. lie
played on borrowed money for awhile,
but his old time luck had deserted him,
and until his death he lived on the
bounty of his friends. He was popular
with all who knew him. 1t is said
that he had not an enemy in the
world.

FORT WORTH. Tex, Feb. l7.-Rev
Sam Small, who has been running
fairly successful revival at the Firs
Methodist church, is very indignant al
the recent dispatches from Oklahom,
City about the troubles of his newspa
per, the Oklahomian, and says the
specials were all his and the paper
that published them We're disreputabl'
liars. Copies of the Oklahomian re
ceived here show that while the pape,
editorially denounced the whisky
traffic very seductlvely worded salooI
advertisements appeared in the paper
The Rev. Sam thus explains this mat
ter in card to the people.
1T is true that there was disagree
ment among some of the associates OF
the Daily Oklahomian and it is tru
that through subordinate designing
parties smuggled several small reading
notices of saloons into the columns
That was during my absence here
squarely against my orders, and wher
returned to Oklahoma City on Mon
day promptly emptied out the who'll,
matter. ! wish the public to under
stand am still, as for years past, tht
object of continuous slanderous attaci
and insiduous assault from the whisky
men Of America. The matter above
referred to was part of their cam
paign."
All of the reports are termed base
and slanderous.

GOLD OUTPUT FOR I09:
Its Production Increasing at ar
Astonishing Rate
Returns Received at tho Treasury Depart
ment -south Africa Coming to the
Front--Produot of '93 Es.i-
mated mt SI5O, 100000.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.-Returns re
ccived at the treasury department indi
cate that the gold output for 1893 viii
reach the almost unprecedented amount
$31,OO0,00O, an increase over 1892 O
S4,00O,"00. In Colorado the output has
increased from $4,000, 200 in 1892 te
sj,OO0,00O in 1893. while the gains in tn.
gold producing sections are unusually
high. The Australian production will
carry the production of the world. il is
thought, to $3.50, 900, 600, which is an in
crease of $4,000, 900 for the year. With
one or two exceptions this is the largest
output ever known. The gold fields Of
south Africa seem to be rapidly taking
the place Of the California and Austral.
ian fields. Reports from the Witwatersr
andt region alone show total for 1893
of ll.iiS,416 ounces of ore, yielding a
product of refined gold of value in ex
cess of 100000.
The production in this region is in.
creasing at an astonishing rate, and
South Africa bids fair during the present
year to push her way TO the head of the
list of gold producing countries. This
figures for 1892 put Australia at the head
.of the list with production of So, $40,
zee. The United States second at S33,.
900, 900, Russia third at $24, 500, 200. and
Africa fourth at $23, 706,6 900.
The full returns from South Africa fol
1893 will probably show production in
excess of $4,000, 900, which will fore,
her into third place, if the increase con
tinues she will pass Russia during 1894
and will be beaten III the United States
in aggregate production only by means
of a large increase in this country. The
production of silver, according to the re-
ports received at the mint, has fallen of
during the past year and will not exceed
el75, 900 600 in coinage value for 1898. a.
the coinage value is no more than twice
the market value the actual mercantil,
value of the silver mined would drop be
low 500, ,000. 900.

At Her Loom.

While the water crosses slumber,
While the birds are few in number,
Spring Is busy at her loom
Weaving for the time OF bloom;
For the trees, light green awning,
For the time OF vernal dawning;
With warp of living green,
With weft OF flowery sheen,
Bright the leaves to deck her pillow
Hanging from the oak and willow
Soon her robes of living green
In their beauty will be seen
Watch the swiftness of her fingers
Weaving where the sunlight fingers
In the messy meadow noo<
BY the gently purling brook.
Soon we'll see the sweet unwilling
or the pink arbutus trailing
Then the snowdrop will peep up
And the yellow buttercup--
When the days are soft and haZy-
Smile beside the nodding daisy.
And her shuttle she will ply
Meath sunny, azure sky,
Till her weft and warp she closes
With the blooming of the roses.

The Poliard-Isreckinridge Trial Set for

The Pollard -Breckinridge Trial Set for
the Above Date.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Pollard
Breckenridge trial has been set for
Thursday March s.
Judge Bradley Of the supreme court
of the District of Columbia this morn
ing listened to the preliminary argu.
nents in the case on motion
submitted by the defense for
further postponemet. The
court room was crowded with
lawyers and public men. Mr.. Breckin-
ridge displayed no interest in the argu-
ments. Miss Pollard was not present.
Mr.. Breckinridge's counsel asked the
court to fix the trial not earlier than
March II, because the principal coun-
sci, Colonel Enoch Totten, was i'll and
important depositionsf from nonresident
witnesses had not yet been obtained.
Counsel for Miss Pollard insisted that
no further delay should be permitted.
The plaintiff had been ready for
trial since August and the delays al
ready caused by the defendant had been
unwarranted. There had been poll
icy of persistent delay pursued and
after several months of inactivity the
necessity for taking depositions of
seventy.three nonresident witnesses In
various parts of the country had been
suddenly announced.
Mr.. Breclsinridge, addressing the
court, said: II know nothing of the
practice in this court. My counsel,
Colonel Totten, is the only one upon
whom ] have relied and to give some
one else all the data covering the case
would be n great undertaking. Colonel
'Totten think will be able to be here
about the 18th of next March"
Mr.. Kenny, for the defense, said If the
case was brought to trial this month H
would bring Mr.. Totten into court at
the risk of his life. Justice Bradley
then set March as the day for the
trial

appointed time of opening dozen APP
plicants had ranged themselves along
the walls of the hall II was noticed
that few carried bulky parcels, and
one man was seen to remove his watch
and chain before entering. 1t was evil
dent that they were not conversant
with the methods to be employed in the

While the charitable bankers want
and demand security for any amount of
money loaned, n bona fide pawn brok-
ing business is not conducted. Goods
will not be exchanged for cash over
