What q victimized Physician Replied to
. Confidence Operators Proposition.
A groupof doctors from the Keystone
state were chatting n day, says the
Washington Post, and the conversation
turned on the exploits of a rascal who
victimized alarge number of physicians
up in Pennsylvania some years ago.
He worked very slick confidence game
on tho disciples of Galen, and after
beating them to the tune of fifteen or
twenty thousand dollars fled the state.
The victims were so sore over the mat
ter that they hired a detective to hunt
the villain down. After a lively chase
that lasted for six months the swindler
was located in another state. 1t APP
pears that there was some doubt about
the ability of the injured parties to
bring him back for punishment. He
hired good counsel and declared his in
tention of remaining where he was.
Finally a committeeof the heeced med
icine men went to the scene and waited
on the swindler. He received them
with the greatest air of composure and
easy assurance. appearing in no wise
abashed
What do you gentlemen want with
me?" he said. ST haven't a cent of the
money. It's all been spent months ago.
If you want my body, take it. It's all
I've got to give up"
Then he smiled complac Gently upon
the committee, waved them a graceful
salute and walked off.
What did the scoundrel say?" re-
marked old DR.. Mcbride, who was quite
deaf, to one of his colleagues.
ssHe said we could take his BODY
s"The deuce he did. Well, I don't
want his body, but I'd really like to
have his gall"

Iepee Gulch.
Southeast from keystone is the Tepee
Gulch district, in which q large amount
OF prospecting has been done during the
last three wears. Among the most prom
Using claims is the Comstock and the
Comst0ck No. / and No. 2. On this
property considerable development work
has been done. The ledge on the Com
stock lode stands four feet high above
the ground, and assays right at the sur
face $3.50. Several open cuts have been
driven into the ledge and a shaft has
been sunk to a depth OF fifty-four feet.
The ledge is twenty feet wide. Several
tests have been made on the ore, which
runs as high as $272.6O ia gold and S19
IN silver. and as low az 81. To cross-cut
the vein a tunnel has been commenced
on the mountain side which has now
reached a length of 1853 feet. The aver
age Of the ore taken from the tunnel is,
according to assay. $3.50. The ore is
refractory and, with a reduction plant
at the mine, would pay a handsome
profit. This property is owned by Mr..
Marshall, who has done most OF the work
himself, during the past few years.

OUR GREATEST DEADHEAD.

The Postmaster General Has Unlimited
Passes on All Railroad Trains.
"The postmaster general of the
United States has at his command a
greater number Of railway mileages
free of cost than perhaps any man in
the world" said a railway passenger
conductor to a St. Louis Republic man
recently. my ignorance of this came
near costing me myjob a few years ago.
"Over in Illinois one midnight the
through train of which 1 had charge
was tagged at a little way station and
u red-faced man climbed aboard the
front passenger coach. The stopping
of my train at that hour of the night
made me mad to begin with, and I was
in no good hamor when 1 approached
my new passenger to collect his fare.
Then, when he showed at me a much
handled piece of pasteboard, signed by
the postmaster general and command
ing in imperious language that the
holder be carried free Of charge on all
trains carrying United States mails, 1
lost my temper completely. 1 was so
mad that I would listen to no explana-
ton from him, because l considered
him either a train robber or an impos-
ter, and l made him pay his fare in the
coin of the realm, for which I gave him
q receipt.
81 soon heard from my mistake after
I reached St. Louis. The post Office
authorities and the railway people
came down on me like a thousand of

Inspector, and that every man in this
service is provided with a card from
the postmaster general commanding

pany II ~olicial appears on the card,
but the holder of it can travel ON any
road in the United States as far as he
wants to GO withcnt nayinr p cent"

KATE FIELDIN HAWAII
PRESIDENT DOLE SAYS ANNEXATION
Is THEIR SOLE OBJECT.
Denies I'm the Presence Of His Cabine (
that the Republic COntemplates
Overtures to England.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-In the Times-Herald
OF tomorrow will be printed an interview
with President Sanford B. Dole, of Hawaii,
by Miss Kate Field. The interview is elab-
crate, filling several columns and touching
closely Hawaiian policy and interna-
tional questions. Although it does not ap-
pear in Miss Fields letter. the talk was
had in the presence Of Mr.. Dole's Cabinet,
the members of which subscribed to their
chiefs opinions unreservedly. Miss Field
called his attention to the fact that his
government had been said to be charac-
terized by an insane desire to perpetuate
itself in office Mr.. Dole said:
THE fact that the government is working
for annexation to the United States is a
good denial OF that charge. Annexation
may deprive us or some of us of office. In
the higher offices are men to whom it means
personal sacrifice and business loss to dis
charge their duties 1t is simply a sander
TO say this desire for annexation is sim
faith, and / believe the people appreciate
the fact. AS to the form of ANNEXATION
that would best meet our requirements II
government unmodified from the form oh
tanning in the United States Territories
would scarcely be suitable. Probably the
best course would be to gradually develop
from our present system, the federal au-
thorities of course having from the begin
ming jurisdiction overlcustoms houses, post
offices and federal courts. Our own govern
ment should not be limited by the United
States law concerning the Territories. A
new system would have to be invented to
suit our conditions, much the same as Is
the practice of England in establishing a
new colony. There Is no set system. Each
new colony is organized as the necessity
of the case demands"
In reply to a statement by Miss Field that
she had been told IL the United States did
not annex the Hawaiian islands they would
be offered to England. Mr.. Dole said: Our
sole policy is annexation to the United
States"
Other parts of the interview relate to the
domestic, political and material affairs of
the islands Profit sharing Is taking the
place of contract labor, and other business
and social improvements have been estab-

pastor of the Episcopal Church in this city.
Bishop wingfeld. during the morning ser
vice, called a meeting of the vestG TO
determine whether this is parish or a
mission. Then pointing contemptuously TO
the pastor he said: IF IL is mission we
are going to put this man out. He Is not
worthy of his position"
He further more denounced Mr.. Pierce
as an unmitigated liar. The women COM
prsing the congregation surrounded the
pastor within the chancel. crying and at

crowds thronged the streets during the
meeting of the vestry and threatened per-
sonal violence on the Bishop should his
threatened removal of Mr.. Piecre be ac-
cOmplished.
