LOST Ako SPOILED MONEY.



The Bank Of E.giand Makes . Big Prsat
on Her Notes.
Bank notes Of the value of thousands
Of pounds are annually lost or destroyed
by accident. In the 40 years between
1893 and 1882 there were outstanding
notes Of the Bank of England, presumed
TO have been either lost or destroyed,
amounting to 81. $50, 600 odd, every
shilling Of which was clear profit to the
bank.
In many instances, however, il is DOS
sible to recover the amount of the note
from the bank in full. Notice has to be
given to the bank Of the note supposed
to be lost or stolen. together with q
small fee and full narrative as to how
the loss occurred. The note is then
''stopped''-that is. If the document
should be presented for payment, the
person stopping" the note is informed
when and to whom it is paid. If pre-
sented, after having been stopped.

not through banker. one of the detect.
ives always in attendance at the bank
would be called to question the person
as to how and when the note came into
his or her possession. 1t is quite q mis-
taken idea that stopped payment" of a
bank note has the effect supposed by
very many people. 1t simply means that
the Bank Of England carefully kec.'- I
lookout for the note which has bel

to pay such note Immediately on its be-
ing presented, a notification would at
once be made to the person who stopped
it, and the bank would give all the as
sistance in its power to enable the loser
to recover the amount
In the case of q bank note having
been, say, burned by mistake, if the
number is known and notice sent to the
Bank Of England it will pay the amount
after an interval Of five years from the
date Of lodging notice of destruction
should no one have presented the note
for payment in the meantime. The bank

holders that it shall be repaid in the
event of the document turning up and
being again rendered for payment 1t is
not at all an unusual circumstance for
o mutilated note to be presented for
payment, burned perhaps half through,
with marks Of burning on the fringes
Nor is the damage always accidental
The men who indulge in the luxury of
lighting their pipes with a bank note
are not always. as some may think,
milliOnaires or recognized lunatics of
society. The spoiled notes are more often
than not presented by workmen or Ia
bOrers, who confess without hesitation
that they have Intentionally lighted
their pipes with them from mere brag-
gadocio. Ashton (Englan6 Reporter

News was received here Tuesday
evening of the death of a man named
Erickson, an employee of the Hike
mill and a brother-in-law of John
Ferguson. While in the discharge of
his duty he was caught in the betting
and was instantly killed.
Intelligence came here Sunday of
the death Judd Stoddard who was

by some means exploded and he was
blown to pieces.

To Kill wild Horses.

A company has been organized at
Portland to kill the mongrel horses of
Oregon, Washington, Montana, Ne
vada and Idaho. The flesh will then
be rendered of it's oil, and the residue,
with the bones and hoofs, will be made
into q fertilizer. It is estimated that
in the States mentioned there are at
present 1000, 900 head of half-breed
wild horses for which no market can
now be found, and owners have no
hope of realizing q dollar on them.

We were shown a few days ago
the result of panning from two
pounds of rock, taken from the Los
Angeles, which competent judges say
would show the rock to go 5000 to
the ton in gold. The ore body at a
depth of 80 feet is two feet wide but
is much wider at points further west.
The gold can not be saved by the
ordinary plate process owing to its
sulphuret state. The Los Angeles is
owned by D. G. Mcdonald, Tyler and
others, is located west of the Rob Roy
and is thought to be on the Chairman
belt.

A Big Mining Sale.

The Silver State says one of the most
mpor tant mining sales in the his
tory of Humboldt county has just been
contaminated at Winnemucca. 1t was
the sale of the Imperial mine, millsite
and water right in Kennedy district by
Messrs. Kennedy, Benton aRd Will
kinson to j. F. Wardner. The pur-
chase price was $4,000 of which
$5, 900 in cash was paid down, the
remainder to be paid in regular in
stallments. According to tho terms
of the agreement entered into be-
tween the buyer and sellers TIE new
owner must have mill of at least ten
stamps in operation by the 22d of next
September. In case of failure to make
any of the stipulated payments the
property, with all improvements
which may have been made, reverts
to the original owners.
Mr.. Wardner has been prominent
in mining affairs on this coast for
years, being very successful in the
various ventures in which he has en-
gagged. Though he bought the Ken
nedy mine for himself, it is well known
that he represents wealthy capitalists,
who will doubtless spend considerable
money in putting up proper mill for
the reduction of the ore of the Inn
perial. In fact, it is said that the
building of a twenty-stamp mill with
latest improments will be commenced
Immediately.

ANOTHER ARCTIC FAILURE.

The failure OF the Cook Arctic expedi.
ton, as told In THE Evening World"
yesterday. furnishes a new proof OF the
folly of those reckless and practically
useless undertakings. The Miranda,
which left st. Johns, Newfoundland. on
July 20, was abandoned at sea In a sink
ing condition on Aug. %. in Davis Strait,
West Greenland. Fortunately the expe-
dition did not have such a tragic ending
as that experienced by the Jeanette and
Proteus ventures Dr. Cook and his
party did not leave their bones to whiten
in the Arctic region.
The Miranda took from New York a
large force Of scientists and sportsmen.
and important results for science were
expected from the expedition. But once
more 1t was found that the power OF the
ice-bound region was too great TO be
overcome by ambitious navigators, and
the adventures were fortunate to es-
cape with their lives.
1t Is time these expeditions should
cease. Whether undertaken by scientific
enthusiasts or as newspaper advertise
ments. they are useless sacrifices of val
liable lives. and 1t is to be hoped that the
Cook expedition will be the last heard Of
for some time to come. II can scarcely
be hoped that folly and Indifference to
human life will cease altogether.

NOW FOR ArPETITELEss DAYS.

The Christian Scientists OF Burlington,
Ia, do not want their children taught
physiology. They declare that there Is
no material body, and no such things
as stomach and brains. They object to
geography, too. on the ground that 1t
la a sort of prebald certificate of the
materlality OF the body. The Burlington
school Board has refused to give any
heed to the Christian Scientists objec-
tons to the studies named. and their
spiritualescent offspring will have to
learn all about the pancreas, the vermi-
form appendix and the py.orian gate. and
also about the degrees OF latitude and
longitude, just the same as If they were
common coarse grained children for
whom a hunk of bread and butter had
allurements or ride on the tallboard
of a wagon possessed unbounded JOY.
We didn't know, though. that the
Christian Scientists had abolished
stomachs--yet The phantomicity OF
brains IN their business need not be
discussed. Though they have succeeded
| in wiping out the county seat OF cholera
morbus and destroying all interest In
| mealtimes and the corruscant cock
| tall, lifting man above the level OF his
midday free-lunch and leading woman
away from the temptations of ice-cream
| saloons and soda fountains, their
ACHE. ement is only a few feet short OF
the miraculous. There are stomach
owners on this earth who would hail a
stomachless future witfA wild delight
| But what would the pill men do for Il
living then?

WHAT REFORM HAS WON.

Representative william L. Wilson,
the able and devoted leader OF tarin re-
form In Congress. who sailed for Europe
yesterday, wrote n most welcome letter
to THE World" in which he sets forth
the real advantages gained by the new
Tariff law despite the Disagreement Of
the original measure through Demo-
cratic treachery and the sinister influ-
ences of the threatened Trusts.
MIR. Wilson regards the overthrow OF
Mckinleyism as fatal to Trusts de-
spite the temporary respite some OF
them have secured through the venality
of Senators, and he believes that the
result OF the change OF tariff policy will
satisfy the people very speedily that the
doom OF Trusts has been pronounced
The Trusts must go.
The author of the original Tariff bill
points out in detail how much has been
gained by the new departure despite the
dissa tisfaction OF the country with the
pernicious antagonism of IA few unfaith.
full Democrats. He has confidence the
people will quickly feel the beneficia
effects OF the change In the revival OF
business. the tightening OF their burdens
and the quickenng of their home ana
foreign commerce. and he has an abid
ing faith In the onward march OF the
reform that has been inaugurated. The
victory, as yet incomplete. Is IA moment
Gus one. McKinleyism is dead beyond
resurrection and the Trusts must CO.
