Lively Bidding For an Heirloom.

The sum of 81 ,370i is rather a high price
to pay for a turkey dish, yet this is the
figure at which one was knocked down
to a purchaser in Penn township at the
sale of personal property of Levi Geiss.
The dish is a rare old piece of chinaware,
beautifully ornamented, and was pur-
chased 90 years ago at Il sale by Mr..
Geiss for s9. so. Each of his children ex-
pressed a desire to have it, and as they
could reach no agreement as to who
should be the owner they decided to put
it up at the sale of the other household
effects. 1t was started at $40 and run
up rapidly at $50 a jump until it was
awarded to the youngest son-Peter-at

THE GIRLS DIDN'T KNOW, YOU KNOW.

sorosis Guests From Boston Try Delmoni-
cos After O without an Escort.
Boston newspaper women are confess
edly-and self confessedly-bright, but
all of them are not yet up to the ways
and wiles Of the metropolis. Several Of
the leading lights were in attendance at
the anniversary breakfast of Sorosis
Monday, O number of them coming over
several days earlier to see a few Of the
sights of the town. They were entertain
ed with liberal Observation-Disclosures,
luncheons, dinners, receptions and thea
ter parties, etc.
With characteristic Boston independ-
ence, however, a few of them decided
to devote n evening to an outing on
their own account. After much discus
sion it was finally decided to dine at
Delmonico's.
Five of them started out from the Wal
dorf one evening with that object in
view. They filed majestically through
the Fifth avenue entrance Of the famous
restaurant, but were Immediately con-
fronted by b male being with an impos-
ing expanse of shirt front, who calmly
informed them that they could not be
admitted.
The blood Of the Puritans was at boil
ing point in a minute. What, they, the
representatives of Boston's intellect, cul-
ture and intelligence, denied admittance
to a New York restaurant! It was not
to be borne. Were they not welcome at
Parker's, at Young's, at the Vendome
and at othor shrines of Hub hospitality,
and should they be denied entrance
here?
An explanation wa demanded. The
guardian Of the portalgave it kindly, but
firmly. 1t was after the mystic hour
when no woman could be admitted with
in Del's sacred precincts without an es-
cort, and no exception could be made
for such distinguished guests. Meek
ly they withdrew, having acquired a
new wrinkle in the way of New York's
customs. Over what they said let the
veil of secrecy lN thrown. What they
they thought may be left to the imagina-
tion.-New York Telegram.

COLI FIND IN GEORGIA,
Rediscovery of the lin Worked by DE Sott
and His Followers 800 Years Ago,

Rediscovery of the Min Worked by De Soto
and His Followers 800 Years Ago.
MIR. w. c. Padget, a sawmill man
operating a mill in the mountains north
east of this place, has discovered some
interesting relics in the way of stone
mortars and other implements. Mr.. Pad
get secured the services of Professor
Clark, an old mining engineer, to pros
pect the place. In one of the xcava
tons they discovered the spur of a quartz
vein, which they went down for a bit.
1t proved better than they had fancied.
They found gold sticking in the quartz
in plenty, visible to the naked eye. Pro-
lessor Clark said:
ut is a valuable find, beyond doubt.
| believe it to be the exact spot where
De Soto and his followers located and
mined for gold and silver 300 years ago.
There is every evidence to prove this.
The remains of a large fort, the old ex-
cavations, some Of which have trees
growing in them 200 years old, the cook
ing utensils and the other relics hewn
from the solid stone. All this proves
conclusively the site of an ancient mine.
As to the mineral deposit, there are seven
we'll defined veins that are legitimate in
every sense, having a well defined igneus

Another Phase of the Question.

At Great Falls there is no apparent
change in the situation, the strikers are
firm and steadfast in their demands, and
the railroad is equally firm in making no
advances. From Minnesota comes the
news that Gov. Nelson is DESTROYS of
seeing the deadlock broke, as it was en-
dangering the peace of the state. With
this end in view he called on President
Hill, and arrange for the settlement OF
the difficulty if possible. The result of
this meeting was, that Mr.. Hill declared
himself in favor of arbitration. AS the
strikers committee must now be in st.
Paul, there is now some chance for the
settlement of the whole question, on the
terms of arbitration proposed by Gov.
Nelson, and it is the duty of the strikers
to meet President Hill half way on this
subject.
' From Helena comes the news that
Judge Knowles has issued a writ served
on the strikers, returnable next Monday,
requiring them to show cause why an in
junction should not be permanent. This
has led Grand Organizer Hogan to give
to the public his views On ar injunction.
He states that no injunction is necessary,
as what it prohibits has not been and
will not be done. From what he states
we are led to believe that the result
would be the tying up Of other lroads.
Mr.. Hogan also emphatically declares
that the fight is not against the Great
Northern railway, but the General Man
ayers association Of the United States,
on the ground that il the Great Northern
is operated during the embargo it must
be through the assistance of that asso-
citation. If the railroads help each other
the employees are going to do the same.
In the meantime the prosperity Of our
city is beginning to feel a %stagnation Of
trade. Business is beginning to droop
under the stoppage OF the wage-paying
industries of the city. IL an early settle
ment of the trouble is made, no harm
has resulted, but if the stoppage con-
tinues ten days more, our merchants,
mechanics, and other employees will feel
its effects keenly.

An Intermittent Well.

There is a spouting well on the place
of William Deutsch. four miles south of
Anacortes. The well is 112 feet deep and
has only three feet of water in it, which
cannot be lowered from its present depth.
When the well begins to spout, it con-
tinues for several days at a time. It
roars precisely like the Ohio gas wells
and forces the water and spray several
feet above the top of the well. Then for
the same time it will cease to breathe
and remain perfectly quiet.-Seattle

A Hayrack Ambulance.

A rather curious spectacle on Court
street in Auburn recently was a hayrack
containing a bed made up neatly. In
the bed was a man, evidently an invalid,
for he lay back weakly upon the pillows.
A hat was upon his head, contrasting
rather strangely with his surroundings.
Beside the bed sat a lady and over him
bent another carefully attending to his
wants. This sickroom on wheels was
part of a spring moving and will go
on record as n of most novel loads of
the season.-Lewiston Journal.

A HOTEL ROMANCE.
How q Newly Married Couple Were Mad

How q Newly Married Couple Were Made
Happy by an Old Bachelor.
There is many u sweet romance cher
ished by the visitor to New York that
is dreamed of by the prosaic, ev-
leryday people Of business. Much Of this
romance is necessarily connected with
the hotels. In these old hotels every
room is interviewer with the history of
hundreds Of persons, and every time one
Of these persons is in the city the inter-
est Is revived in the past. One day a
friend led me down Broadway on some
pretext or another, and we finally paused
before the old New York hotel.
IT stopped there on my wedding
trip" he finally blurted out. my wife
wished it. Her mother had stopped there
in her time and on her wedding trip.
My wife was anxious to occupy the
anne room that her mother had. We
had been married that day, and this was
our first hotel, just as it had been in
her mothers case, and my little ones
mind was surcharged with the omance
Of the thing. But, like all young mar.
ried folks, we had a horror Of being con-
spicuous and at the first didn't like to
say anything about it to the clerks. At
last, however, / mustered courage
enough to look over the register just to
ascertain whether the room-we knew
the number, floor and everything, as my
bride had figured it all up in her own
mind-was really occupied. We thought
we might get into it ON some excuse or
another. Imerely desired to crafty her.
But I couldn't find the number at all.
You can't fool q hotel clerk very easily
on such things, and in q little time he
had the whole thing out of me.
'Confoundedly sorry, sir, said he,
but that particular room is occupied by
a regular boarder and one Of the cross
est old bachelors I ever knew too
"That settled it. So I went up stairs
and told my wife about it. There was
no help for it. Our room was good
enough, but she thought it would be so
nice if we could have the same one her
mother and father had. There was no
time to think much about it, for o few
friends came in to see us, and we were
dragged off to box party that evening.
When we came in, however, the room
clerk called me into the private office
and handed me a key to the cherished
room.

CONey's Army,

The news from Butte the past day or
two would indicate that the situation
there is growing worse, and has at last
required tine presence Of the governor on
the scene. The sheriff has applied for
the assistance of the state militia, but he
has not as yet exhausted the available
assistance at Butte. 1t is to be hoped
that the assistance of the military will
not be required, as that is a measure of
the last resort and is not always as safe as
moral persuasion. This movement Of the
so-called "Coxey's" army is a problem
which is perplexing many states through
out the union, and the end is not as yet.
The movement Of this army, too, is not
more perplexing to state officials than it
is to railroad authorities, for the last, by
moving bodies of INDECENT men into one
state from another is very certain to
bring them IL c~onfiic! with the state
authorities for violation OF state laws.

The Engineering and Mining Journal
makes a strong point for bi metallism
in this paragraph: "With all the large
coinage markets closed against it, the
only outlet for silver is in the continued
absorption OF the metal by India and
China, and this is due to ignorance Of
the conditions imposed by the financial
legislation of all the great commercial
nations. At any moment some fanatic
may inspire the East Indians with the
belief that silver has lost or is losing its
value, that it's possession is no longer
an evidence of wealth, that its price
will &c down to that of tin or copper,
and that while it has any value they had
better sell their ores and buy gold, the
only standard of value, the only evil
dence of wealth. II such an inspiration
should seize them, it might permeate
the nation, as a fire spreads over the
prairie, and its effect would be that sill
YER would be dumped on the market
without regard to cost Of production,
and a sudden great demand for gold set
in which would inevitably cause a great
advance in its purchasing power-that
is, would aus a heavy decline in the
value of everything else."

is especially familiar with the state of

evils that affiict the world can never be
cured without a return to bimetalism;
that there can be no such thing as BIZ
metallism without the free coinage of
both metals on equal terms; that no n
country, under present circumstances,
can safely venture upon this step alone;
