Mr.. Ashford was long enough

much intention of heading a

has of returning here and

and the interview with the re-
porter in Frisco was one of his
Jokes. When Mr.. Ashford
left here, his main thought
was to do something in the

people here who know him

of assistance to that person.
Some time ago, we pur-
chased a lot of European wire
and Immediately afterward
some parties circulated a re-
port that the quality had been
affected by some unknown
cause and that it was not up
to the standard Of the Apl-
ericam product. We had a half
dozen coils of the wire tested
at the Iron Works and it
showed a tensile strength of
1850 pounds. When this re-
port was published in this
column, the wire was sought
after by plantation managers
and individuals from Niihau to
Hawaii. The other day, to OBJ
lige a skeptic, we ordered a
hundred coils of American
wire from the Coast and as
it reached the store, we sent
a half dozen coils to the foun-
dry to have it tested. The
result showed a tensile
strength of 768 pounds or
about 1000 less than the Eu-
ropean article. We violate no
confidence when we tell you
that this American wire will
not be sold by us. We have
an abundance of the European
article and can supply all sizes
and in any quantity. This wire
with the steel stays and gal
vanized washers comprise the
material necessary to use in
the celebrated Jones
Locked Fence than which no
stronger, cheaper or better |
fence was ever made.

INCREASING THE RESERVE.
Flow of the Syndicate Gold
Into the National
Treasury.
Considerable Of the Precious Metal
Is Being Obtained in the
West.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May s.-To-day
closed the third month under the bond
contract with the Morgan Belmont syndi-
cate OF New York, and up to this time all
of the terms of the contract have been COM
piled with to the satisfaction of the treasury
officials. On February last, the date OF
the contract, the gold reserve in the treas
ury amounted to SO, 783, $50, which has
since been increased to 500, 591, $40, the
amount reported to-day, making the net
gain for the three months $40, SOS, 519.
Yesterday the syndicate deposited in the
New York Sub-treasury about 500 900,
which completes its obligations to date, but
does not, so far as can be learned, leave
any surplus to its credit. The $50. 900, 600
in domestic gold permitted to be deposited
under the contract has long since been
turned in, but whether all of the SIG, 500, coo
of foreign gold required to date by the
terms of the contract has actually been
imported cannot be learned here. 1t is
believed, though, that it has not been
imported.
1t is assumed that the syndicate viii be
deemed to have complied with its contract
if it is found at the close of the deal on
October l next to have on deposit the
$50 600 600 in foreign gold, independent OF
the fact that they may have used domestic
gold from time to time and have not made
the adjustment requiring half of the gold
to be domestic and half foreign until the
last moment. The treasury officials say
that they have no information as to
whether the syndicate is buying gold in
the West or not, but they are unable to
see how the syndicate could meet its con-
tract obligations without buying gold
whenever and wherever it could. Not the
least important feature of its contract
with the Government is the agreement to
protect the treasury. SO far as it is able,
from gold Withdrawals for export, and at
this time and with sterling exchange at its
present high rate this is no light obliga-
ton, and it is more than probable that the
syndicate has been compelled to make
heavy purchases of gold in the West, pos
sibly at slight premium. in order to cover
its foreign bills.
That large purchases are making is
evidenced by the fact that one or more Of
the large refineries, which heretofore have
sold their product at the Denver assay
Office, ceased making their deliveries there
some weeks ago, and the assumption i:
that it is being sold in New York at figures
slightly in advance of the price paid at the
Denver mint. Thus far the officials are
entirely satisfied they say with the manner
in which the syndicate is carrying out its
contract both as to its deposits and it:
control of the markets so as to protect the

Arguments CONCLUDED.

The Supreme Court to Meet on the Goth
Inst. and Render a Decision.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May s.-The
rehearing of the income tax cases in the
Supreme Court was concluded at O'Clock
to-day. and the nine justices took the ques-
ton OF the acts constitutionality, in whole
or in part, under consideration. On the
Goth of this month the court will meet,
probably for the last time this term, to
render its decision in pending cases, and it
is expected its conclusions upon the in
come tax case will be announced at that
time.
Joseph II. Choate of New York finished
the closing argument, which he began yes
terday, speaking until o'clock, and re-
ceiving the closest attention from the JUS
tees and a crowd of spectators. 1t has
been generally remarked that interest in
the hearing had been much less intent
than at the first argument. Justice Jack
son was one of the most attentive OF the
nine men on the bench throughout the
hearing, and seems TO have borne the
strain well considering the condition Of
his health.
Mr.. Choate first took up for examination
the argument of the Attorney General that
II the decision in regard to rentals was TO
stand there should be no limit to the time
the exemption should run. The Attorney
General had pleaded that with such a
ruling IN force it might be impossible to
ever tax the proceeds derived from rents,
however they might be invested. Mr..
Choate said in reply that it was sufficient
that the law left NJ such question open.
. The provision was for taxing rents at the
moment OF their receipt, and he, for one,
should not be so foolhardy as to claim that
when the rent money should be invested it
should not be subject to the original ruling
of the court in this case.
Mr.. Choate contended that of the vast
sum expended in the Civil War, q very
small proportion had been derived from

Why Women Prefer Low Chairs.

One of the things that no man ever
will or can understand is that women
invariably choose the Lowest chairs
they can find, usually selecting for
solid comfort one that is about ak
inches from the floor. Schopenhauer's
contemptuous alusion to them as
the "shcrt-legged sex" generally occurs
to him az the final solution of the
problem, even though he is too polite
outwardly to hint at such thing
That Is by no means the real reason,
according to bright l'ttle artist.
Women, she says, seem to know intui-
lively when they are looking their
best, and they know that that rarely
happens when they are sitting on q
chair sufficiently high to make the
feet dangle stiftly downward, barely
reaching the floor. In all the rele
brated pictures of sitting feminine fig
ures, the line from the waist to the
knee is elongated as tar as possible
and it is to secure this graceful, easy
length of line, as we'll as for comfort
that women instinctively turn to the
low chair or stool.

in turn, the duty Of setting down the
days events, and each vying with the
other in making this family history as
gay and pleasant % possible, writes
Elizabeth Bisland IN "When Living in
The Country" in the August Ladies'
Home Journal. An endless series OF
interests and amusements will arise
from this practice, and the book will
gain infinitely in attraction if it is il
