E. L. GoDKIN, the perverted, Eng
lish-toadying Irishman who edits the
New York Euening Post, of course is in
full sympathy with his intimate friend,
Col. Waring, and says with bis ac-
customed rancor:
eve have never known an old soldier, of
undoubted record for valor and constancy,
Army"
Himself an imitation Englishman, and
a very poor imitation, Godkin finds him
self constantly looking down upon every
thing that is in any way American.
This is a "beastly country" and has
"beastly people" and "beastly ways"
and never can be brought up to the
level of dear old England" The only
reason that Godkin stays in it is that he
can make great deal more money here
than he can at home, by printing a paper
for the cads who feel that they are ever
so much better than their countrymen,
and almost as good as real Englishmen.
1t is not worth while answering Godkin's
fling at the GAR. Very much the
greater part of the men conspicuous and
faithful in the work of putting down the
rebellion belong to. it. q, died while in its
ranks. Grant, Sherman, Porter, Ham
cock, Hayes, Garfield, Logon died men,
bers of the Order, Iandits badge was on
their breasts when they were consigned to
the tomb. Think bfthe impudence of an
en,asculated alien sneering at such men
as these. AL

One Assay Makes the Quartz
Run $40 a Ton.

GUTHRIE, Ok, June 14-Many rumors
are aloat regarding the gold find and
hundreds of people are leaving for the
new camps near Arapahoe. AL the
open claims in G. county have been
taken as result of the new find and
many contests have been fled. A re-
port brought in last night says one of
the assays made makes the quartz run
$40 to the ton Most all the stuff found
so far has been in the surface gulches.
1t is said the excitement continues at
fever heat and that hardly enough
people remain in Arapahoe and Cloud
Chief to hold wake.
The Cloud Chief Herald Sentinel says:
1.-THE gold fever is still increasing in
intensity, and reports come in that al
most make a fellows hair stand on
end. Five dollars a pound for sand.
The western country is alive with gold
hunters, and they find lots of stuff
that glitters. Claims are being located
every day and excitement is at concert
pitch Hundreds of people have made
all arrangements to go to the new
fields and are only awaiting a reliable
report from the assayist who was sent
out to make Investigations"
The Leader, of this city, sent out a
man yesterday to personally investi-
gate the find and bring back specimens
of the ore. If the gold leads are as
wealthy as reported the find will mark
a new epoch for Oklahoma in the COM
mercial world.
POOR SETTLERS SHOWN LENIENCY.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Secretary
Hoke Smith has rendered decision
ha4 mill hn Of int ka
many western homesteaders. The
case in question was that of ]. A.
Wells, of the Alliance land district,
Nebraska, who requested an extension
of time for making payment on his pre-
emption claim. The land Office refused
the request on the ground that such
extension could be granted only in
cases where inability to pay except by
reason of failure of crops. In his de-
cision Secretary Smith reversed this
decision and called attention to a re-
cent act of congress which extends the
time of final payment for one year in
cases where the entryman is unable to
make payment on account of any
cause which he is unable to control.
This law was passed in view of the
financial distress prevailing through
out the country last year.
REPORTS OF STARVATION DENIED.
PERRY, Ok, June 14.-Considerable
indignation exists here over the con
tinued reports of suffering in the Cher

people in the strip there is no more
more suffering among the people thar
in the states. There was never a bet
ter prospect for corn, oats and all crops
except wheat, and the people are hap
Ply and contented. The tales of starva
ton are greatly exaggerated and the
people are holding meetings denounc-
ing the authors of such stories.

the head Saturday night, is out of dan
ger
Her husband, who was released on
$4,000 bail, Immediately took the pledge,
and says he will never drink another
drop. There was an affectionate scene
between Emmett and his wife after
his release. According to a friends
story, Mr.. Emmett and his wife
have not lived happily together
since they arrived in this city, and their
quarrels drove Emmett almost crazy at
times Mrs. Emmett is also said TO have
caused him to place all the property
given him by his father in her name.
According to the same informant, she
has lived extravagantly, and Emmett now
has little ready money. 1t is said his
most intimate friends were not at all sur
prised that he tried to take the life OF his
wife.
Other friends take an opposite view,
and say the fault is on Emmett's side;
that he abused his wife. and that when
drinking the actor was unbearable.

A CHINESE ENTERPRIS E.



gars.
We are more or less interested now
adays in China and the Chinese. They
are curious people, and their customs
are so different from those of other
nations that to US, who are proud of
being civilized, they sometimes seem
quite ridiculous. What civilized ma
tions would provide a regular home
for beggars, for instance-nOt as a
matter of charity, for all civilized peo-
Pile do that, but purely in the line of
business? Yet the Chinese do this, if
the following story told by German
newspaper is true. According to this
journal the Kleine Chronic, a joint
stock company in Picking erected some
years ago a large building termed XII
mao-fan, or observation-disclosures. It is
to be used as a night refuge for the
begging population of the Celestial
city. A monster feather bed covers
the whole floor of one of the largest
rooms. Old and young, all are admit
ted without distinction. Each settles
down for the night as comfortably as
he can in this ocean of feathers. At first
each sleeper received a small blanket,
but it was found, subsequently,, that
these blankets very soon disappeared,
being probably appropriated by the
servants of the esta blishment, so an
enormous common blanket, full of
round holes, through which the beg
gars at rest on the feathers can thrust
their heads for air, was made large
enough to cover the floor of the whole
room. In the day time this general
blanket is drawn up to the ceiling by
ropes and pulleys, and at night, when,
all the company are in their places it
is let down, and the beggars have to
look sharp to get their heads through
one of the holes lest they run good
chance of being suffocated. The same
in the morning, they must be careful
to draw their heads out of the hole at
the first stroke of the tomtom, when
the blanket is again lifted from the
huge nest, lest they be drawn up to
the ceiling and hanged. - Harper's
