had been heard of could admit of but one
explanation-that he was dead-and with
that idea in view, the files of all the old
papers were searched to see if in any of the
many accidents they told of the mysterious
name appeared. The search was success
full one, for in one of the accounts of the
loss of the steamer Golden Gate, which
was burned off the Mexican coast on July
o. 1862, the name of A. Smith was men
toned as being among the list of the lost.
With him, according to the report, per-
ished his wife and family, with the excep-
ton of his daughter Jane, who was to
follow as the companion of lady going to
New York by the next steamer. Smith
had not felt able to stand the heavy ex-
pense of the fare of his whole family to
New York, and he had offered the services
of his daughter as companion and maid to
any lady going to New York.
No one knew who wrote the article, nor
anything more about the man than had
been printed, but it was a step forward in
the search, particularly when it was learned
that on July 2, 1862, Smith, the depositor
had drawn $500 from the bank. The de-
post was made by Alexander Smith on
March "a, 1862. On July he drew $500
out. On July q A. Smith sailed on the
Golden Gate, and on July q he persisted
with her. Alexander Smith, the depositor,
had never been heard of after the death of
a. Smith in the ill-fated Golden Gate.
A list of the cabin passengers on the
! Uncle Sam, which followed the Golden
Gate, showed that Jane Smith sailed with
Mrs. S. S. Phillips. She could not be
found. Accepting itas possibility that
| Jane Smith may have returned to San
Francisco and married the marriage rec
ords from 1862 to 1872 were examined.
There was a Jane Smith, who became
Mrs. p s. Marshal, but after she had been
found she proved to be the wrong person.
It then occurred to Mr.. Shuck that as A.
Smith had offered the services of his
daughter as ladies' travelling companion,
possibly he might have done SO by adver.-
Using. The old flies we're brought out
again, and then a food of light was thrown
on the case by this advertisement, pub

FAKE STOPS In THE ORGAN.
A Trade Secret in the Construction of
the Instrument.

"A Trade Secret in the Construction of
the Instrument.
Of all musical instruments known in the
present day the organ is undoubtedly the
liking" Not only in its complicated and
ingenious mechanism or IN its wonderful
control by one performer, but in its powers
of expression and imitation of the various
instruments of the orchestra it is unex-
celled. Unlike other instruments that
are perfected both in voice and sim plifed
methods of playing-sueh as the violin,
flute, clarionet, ETC., the organ, as it now
stands, is still open to considerable i'm
provement both in mechanical and acous-
tic principles.
frank" of pipes-one to every key on the
board. The word does not refer in any
way to the ''knob" that the organist pulls
out or pushes in. 1t seems necessary to
explain this, as many persons are unaware
of it, and are dazZled by the amount of
''knobs" they get for the money, and say,
s'Oh, orr organ has thirty stops, and cost
so and So" and ''such a ones has thirty
six and cost only half that sum-" Now in
in almost every specification received
from organ-builders a certain number
of cake stops are announced,
in order to make it appear great
deal for the money. Among them are GER

produce certain effects on the mechanism

An idea NAV be formed of the useless
ness of some of these by the number
of them run into the parlor organ. In the
latter one may find eleven stops" and
actually only two rows OF reeds, 122 in

FOOTBALL FASCINATION.

The strong features of football have
SO impressed themselves on the men
who have played the game to any ex-
tent. that any mention of prohibition
of the game, arouses no little degree
of antagonistic spirit within them, and.
while conceding a certain amount Of
danger in the game, yet, this element
being so small compared with the num-
Der of participants, and the physical
development so great in comparison
with the actual number of accidents of
any serious nature, they do not con-
cede anything further than, perhaps, a
modification of some of the rules

CHICAGO GENERAL MARKET.
Chicago, Nov. 26.-There was hardly
any business on the board, as wires
were all down, and there was nothing
in the way of news to base operations
on. There was not a wire working in
any direction at the opening of bust
ness and it was an hour or two before
any communication was established
with the outside world. Then the Kan
sas City wire got in shape, and Mil
wauke and St Louis followed, but
these brought little of Importance in
the way of news Up to noon nothing
had been heard from the seaboard, and
the trade was in ignorance as to the
conditions of foreign wheat markets,
and the worlds shipments, in which sc
much interest centered yesterday
There was an unofficial report yester-
day that there had been 100000 BUSH

this enormous amount reduced by the

NEW YORK. Nov. 26.-There was
little if amy change in the character
OF the stock speculation TO-
day. Dizziness was the main
feature and the bears almost monopo-
lied the tradings, especially in the
industrials The railway list i'm
proved superior to the other industrials
ON the same influences as were noted
yesterday, namely, moderate buying
of the International shares for fore
ign account and more cheerful advices
as to the European speculative situa-
ton. The foregoing conditions tend
ed to offset the gold engagements or
shipment tomorrow, aggrega ting ST.
,000 1t is understood the gold to
be forwarded affords a minimum of
profit. Indications as to the probable
extent of the shipments for the week
are less clear. The exchange market
continues very dull, with the supply
of gold and cotton bills sufficiently
large to cause an easier tendency,
though without noteworthy change in
quotations. There was no news of
Importance bearing upon the general
market aside from the gold engage
ments, and thew appeared to be
ignored by the traders owing to the
assumption that action to relieve the
trea sury will not be long delayed. A
more tangible explanation Of the
steadiness of the railway list is the
statements of earnings by roads in
nearly all sections aside from the
southwest and the statement of for
eign selling of our securities. Business
was poorly distributed. Tobacco,
Sugar and Leather preferred complete
ly outran the other stocks in point of
activity. The first mentioned were
the Leaders in this respect and Sugar
came second, restoring the order of
Mondays market.
The general market had intervals of
decline and reaction throughout the
day, but closed quiet with net changes
about evenly divided between gains
and losses. none of which, aside from
the stocks named, exceeded small
fractions.
The market for bonds was dominat-
ed by the course of the stock specula-
ton. Sales were 81, 133, 900. The course

Especial to The HeraldI
BOISE, Ida, Nov. Ex-Governor Nc
Cornell, ex-president of the trans
Mississippi congress, today sent the
following dispatch to the congress at
Omaha:
"Gentlemen-I notice by the press
dispatches that Mr.. Whitmore in his
remarks yesterday, said that the silver
question had recently lost ground, and
that it is no longer the subject of first
interest with the convention. I beg
leave to record a difference of opinion
on that subject. The delegates who
constitute your congress are sent there
not by the votes of the people. but by
appointment, and L suggest to you
gentlemen that you make a mistake if
you endorse any resolutions announce
ing to the civilized world that the
opinions of thoughtful men in the
west have changed on that question
Great reforms have not been rapidly
accomplished. Civilization itself was
of slow growth, and although the peo-
pie Of the west have been informed
from day to day that times are i'm
proving and that the country is be-
coming more prosperous, yet in the
next column we read of vast shipments
of gold to foreign nations, and re-
turns from commission houses to which
consignments of products of the farm
and range have been made to admonish
us that a crisis has been reached. A.
few days since it was heralded all
full opening Of the Nez Perez reserva-
ton in this state had been accom-
plished. Today government buildings
are being erected thereon, and the
laborers employed thereon are paid
the munificent sum of 81 per day, out
of which they pay So per week for
board. [ irnplore you, gentlemen of
the convention, not to be deceived.
Something is wrong. If those who
favor a gold standard will make it
clear to us that we have been benefit
ted by the demonstration of silver; if
it can be shown to us that 81 per day
for the laboring men on public works
is better than So; that cents for wool
is better than Is cents-the people of
the state of Idaho will quietly submit
but so long as the present conditions
confront US, we will not allow such as.

good friend to pass by unchallenged
