a BISMARCK STORY
IlOw the Old Chance Ilor Did the Honor
for q Friend.

A new Bismarck story is told in a
Swedish paper bv the old lady who
when, as young woman, she was sent
to Rome with her governess, and was
directed to stop on rer way to Berlin,
where she had a German cousin, stu
dent, whom she had never seen. He
met her at the station and greeted her
affectionately; he was tall, with a
heavy mustache ana peculiarly SPAR
king eys and for three days they did
the town thoroughly, visiting al. the
sights and having good time.
He could speak no Swedish and she
no German, so they talked French,
which he spoke very well. AS she
was about to go away he said: MY
dear cousin, see here. I must tell you
that / am not your cousin. My friend,
your German cousin. the real one, is
busy preparing for his examination,
and asked me to take his place and
fulfill your fathers wishes. My name
Is Otto Won Bismarck" That was the
end OF the adventure.
Many years after, when she was m
old married woman, and Prince Els
marck was chancellor, she again Wis
tied Berlin, and sent him her card with
Few words written on 1t. Bismarck
Mt once invited her to the palace, where
they talked over old times. and the
chancellor thanked her for enabling
him to visit the Berlin museums, which
he never had chance to do afterward.

derstand that he can do just as he
pleases, and he looks as II those who
drove him are well aware that they
might as well let him have his own
way as to try and urge him to any 9TH
er course. He would jog along at an
easy gait until he would meet another
.rorse, and when alongside would sud-
denly stop. OF course this was a habit
acquired from the social tendencies OF
the vicinity. where everybody always
stops to talk with anyone they meet.
The colonel noticed that he did not
readily start again after the stops,
and his sister would speak coaxingly
and ehirp encouragingly for some time
before he would take notion to move.
1t was Get up, Grover; g'lang Grover"
and after shake of the reins Grover
would possibly be persuaded to start.
II say, sLs," said the colonel, why do
you call that horse Grover?"
''Oh. because he is so fat and so hard
to drive" was the reply.

CRIPPLE CREEK GOLD.
The Advantage Accruing to Investors by
Sensible Means.

The recent depreciation OF silver has
stimulated a search for gold, ana as re-
suit several hundred lode and placer
mines have been discovered i'm the new
gold fields OF Cripple Creek by prospec-
tors who possess more mining know
ledge and practical experience than
money. Such owners are seeking the
moneyed men OF the East with the object
in view of selling or OF having their
mines developed and as general thing
the mine Is placed in the hands OF
broker. who procuring the option from
the owner offers the property for sale at
large advanced prices to the detriment o!
both the mine owner and the investor.
There has heen need for a simple, prac-
tical arrangement by which mine owners
could deal directly with the purchasers,
and TO this end the Gold Developing
Company has been incorporated under
the laws OF West Virginia, IL Is COM
posed of prominent Boston business men
and practical Western mining men and
has for its agent in this city Mr. William
ii. Roger, AS Butler Exchange. The
object of the company is to acquire
options on gold mines by bond and work
ing lease, or otherw Use, and to develop
such mines In as practical and economical
manner az possible and to purchase them
when they are dividend paying mines at
thesprice originally proposed when they
were prospects. An additional object ia
to acquire water and timber rights; mill
and town sites, and municipal franchises
and to develop the same for the best inter-
ests OF the stock holders.
This IL to be accomplished through
trusted agents selected by the directors,
who will conduct the affairs of the com
pany on the same business priniples
which have proven so successfut IN the
great Eastern manufacturing and milling
concerns.
The capital stock of the company Is
81, 900, 600, which is divided into 1000, 600
shares, with the privilege OF increasing
the capital to 20, 00n, 600. All the proceeds
for the sale OF sotcks Is to 60 into the
treasury-or into property acquired
or option on valuable mining property
which may be had in excahnge for the
stock, OF the company.
For immediate use a limited amount
of treasury stock is being offered for
sale; all other sotck now in the treasury
is to remain subject to the order OF the
directors, and to be issued from time to
time as the needs OF the company my
require and to such prices as determined
upon by the directors.
A contract has already been secured by
which lfavora BILE leass and bond for good
mining property at Cripple Creek has
heen transferred to this company in ex-
changefor shares of its stock. In this
way, without the expenditure OF any
money, the stookblders require large
mining interests in one OF the best
mining districts ever known.

BeariSh Market Caused by

NEW YORK December 19. There
was substantially unanimous opinion
last night that it was absurd to
expect any serious trouble with England
and about equally absurd TO look for any
substantial rise in the market after the
shock which has not only affected senti-
meat hut the exchange market and bond
negot ations. London is estimated tc have
sold from 10 10 80 thousand shares, ana
Liverpool has gone down points in cot
ton.
The tenor OF London advices indicate
less interest there than here in Venezuela
and 1t was pointed out that even at its
worst there was not likely TO be import

OF a commission not yetappointed and

quently a rally was regarded as in order.

Boston has been buying sugar freely

those that pay dividends, ana which un-

HALSEY'S WILL.
Del Vale Halsey Briugs Suit Against
Trustees Under II.

An interesting case was that instituted in
the United States Circuit Court today. IL is
in the form of a bill in equity. in which Pedro
del Vale Halsey is complainant and Moss b.
/. Goddard ct al respondents. The complain
ant is citizen of New York State, and brings
this suit to compel tho trustees under the will
OF the late Thomas Lloyd Halsey of this city.
to transfer to him the real and personal estate
be- queathed to them in trust In his favor. and
the accumulation Of the rents and profits Of
the same since the death of his mother. Maria
Louisa Andrea del Vale. who was daughter
of the testator.
The estate in question consists of the man.
sion house in this city. the Hauterive estate
in East Providence and large amount of
other real estate, valued at $3.50, O0O and per-
sonal property to the valuo OF $4,000.
Thomas Lloyd Halsey died February 2.
1855. and In his will bcqueathed the Mansion
House, Hauterive, and one'halt Of the re-
maipder of his real and personal eststl to the
eldest son OF his daughter. Maria Louisa
Andrea del Vale, after her death. on certain
conditions. These conditions were that ne
should within five years after notification Of
the testator's decesse become citizen Of the
United States, and sdopt the name Of Halsey.
II may be said that when this will was pro-
bated, il created a profound sensation, as 1T
was not known here that Mr.. Halsey had any
children living in South America. or had ever
been married there. The complainant in the
bill shows that be has complied with all the
conditions fixed by the testator, and that, his
mother being dead, he is entitled 70 have the
property transferred to him
This the trustees decline TO do, as other
heirs act up claim TO IT. The bill is therefore

market to buy which caused rally. The
tendency of the day has been toward
lower prices and while the liquidation
has been large the bears put out a great
many short stocks. There were num-
ber OF rallies, but after each one the mar

wsshington's first visit to Providence was
made in tho spring of 1881. He had como to
Newport for the purpose of comforting with
Count dc Rochambeau and the Chevalier de
Ternay. who. with the French army. had
passed the winter there. On his way back TO
the Continental army, Washington passed
through Providence. He was met at the lower
ferry by a deputation of leading townsmen.
and escorted TO the residence of Hon. Jabez
Bowen. That night there was general re-
joicing and festivity throughout the town,
which was as brilliantly illuminated as the
primitive facilities OF those early days would
permit. An address of welcome was presented
to him, To which he made feeling and fitting
response. The rejoicing continued the follow
ing day. when an elaborsss banquet was
given in the State House, which was attended
by as many of the townspeople as could be
accommodated within its walls. That night
a grand ball, at which were gathered the
fashion, beauty and wealth OF the period, was
given. General Washington was present. and
took an active. though dignihed, part in tho
festivities.
