THROUGH HIS HAT.
Loren Fletcher Talks a Bit in
That Direction.

That Direction,
Loren Fletcher was asked for his
opinion of the probability of an extra
session of congress yesterday. He said:
Il do not believe that an extra ses-
sion will be called. I do not think
that President Cleveland has any idea
that If such session were called i'm
medlately that any legislation salts
factory to him could be passed, and I
do not believe that he wishes to avert
another issue of bonds. The profits
to the purchasers Of these bonds have
been enormous. Another issue of bonds
would net them eight or ten millions
under their contract. Would Mr.. Cleve-
land let such chance slip?"
do you mean that Cleveland is per-
sonally profiting by the issue of the
bonds ?"
ut certainly comes very close to him.
His personal friends are in the syndi-
cate, and it is understood that his
old partner drew up the agreement
with the syndicate. Many people be-
lieve that he is in the deal. 1t is
bad piece Of business when our gov
eminent must demand financial pro-
lection on Wal strest and from a clique
of Hebrew bankers
Mr. Fletcher further said that the talk
of the public spirit and patriotism of
the members of the syndicate was all
foolishness. They were in the scheme
to make money, and would serve the
government as long as they served
their own ends and no longer.

PIOUS BUT PECULIAR.
w. F. Robertson Appears to Have
Been Bad.

w. F. Robertson, secretary of the
American Investment company, of 33S
Lumber Exchange, is missing from his
home, at .2505 Lincoln street northeast.
and from the city, and the investment
company is mourning his loss. The
deal which caused Robertson to depart
SO suddenly was negotiated some time
ago when he secured possession of S1O,-
000, par value, of the investment con-
Germs stock. 1t was understood that he
was to deposit collateral with the COM
pany to secure it. Instead, he traded
the stock to one P. S. Price for valu-
able farm and afterwards sold the
farm for cash. When the investment
company asked him to- settle up for the
stock he gave one excuse and then
another and now has departed to parts
unknown.
President F. P. Stone, of the COM
pany, is of the opinion that Robertson
is in hiding in the city somewhere while
negotiating for a settlement. Robert
son was single man and has always
been regarded as model young man,
distinguished for his devotion to his
religious duties. Wednesday he bought
a ticket to Seattle and Thursday was
seen to board a westbound train, since
which time a large number of people
have vainly endeavored to ascertain
his whereabouts.

OCEAN CURRENTS
Carried Piece of Wood to His
Mother Across the Sea.
New York Tribune


New York Tribune.
In September, 1892, the daughter of
the blacksmith in Gamma was wander
ing on the shore gathering driftwood
TOT fuel, when, in a small bay, about
100 yards distant from her fathers
house, she picked up a piece of wood
bearing the Inscription, cut with
March %, 1922 On taking it to her
mother she became much concerned.
as this was the name of her own son,
who was a boilermaker in Spain, and,
as would be the case with most people
certainly with Highlanders-she
could not get over the superstitious
dread that this message from the sea
was the harbinger of evil tidings re-
garding her son. The family of the
proprietor did their best to calm her
fears, eXhorting her to wait for an ex-
PLANTATION.
When writing to- her son she told
him of what had happened, and was
greatly relieved on receiving a reply
astonished to learn that he perfectly
remembered how, when on a holiday.
he had written, as described on a
piece of wood and had idly thrown it
INTO the sea from a rock near Bilbao.
We all know the power of ocean cur
rents, and need not be surprised at
this piece Of wood having been carried
Tor SIX months, but the marvellous
ana, except for undoubted evidence
the incredible circumstance in this case
is that this piece of wood, after its
long wandering, should have been
washed on the shore within 100 wards
of where the writer's mother lived. and
that 1t should be picked up by one of
MS own family and taken home. Had
any novelist dared to picture a mes
sage delivered as this was, by means
of an ocean current, every reader. and
certainly every critic, would have de-
nounced the outrageous demand on
faith. And yet the apparently impos-
sible actually occurred in Gamma.

The reservoir bond injunction re-
ceived it's death blow yesterday at
the hands of five out of the six
judges on the Hennepin county dis
trict court bench. Judge Elliot is out
of the city, so that his signature does
not appear attached to the order
which was filed yesterday in the
case.
The news that the injunction had
been dissolved was heard with joy
by thousands of people. The work
| men on the reservoir were exception
| ally we'll pleased at the outcome of
| the great legal battle, and regard the
decision as true and strong and as
holy writ. There has been great
| anxiety felt among the men that they
would be deprived of work, but now
! they are assured of employment I'M

able.
The city officials who were instru-
mental in pushing the reservoir bond
scheme through were greatly elated,
and say there never was a doubt
of the correctness of their position.
The complete text of the judges
order and memorandum is as fol-

WHERE THE BALL WENT.
Lost Spher in Cricket Match
Found in q Spectators Pocket.


Found in Spectators Pocket.
Leeds Mercury.
Cricket balls have been lost in many
curious ways, such as by being struck
into passing train, into crows and
other birds nests, down chimneys and
steeples, and it is likely that last

ford league-and when ]. Smith (prof),
of the latter team, was in, he struck
ball to square-leg. The ball went to
the boundary, passing under a seat
which was filled by spectators. Seeing
that it was boundary hit, the spec
tators began to look for the ball. but
they could not find it. Then some of
the cricketers joined in the search,
but the ball could not be seen, though
they made a close scrutiny of all the
holes in the wall-into which it was
wittily suggested they should send a
ferret. Eventually the search was
abandoned, fresh ball was secured,
and the match continued When it had
been in progress for some time, some
of the spectators who were seated near
the place where the ball was lost sug-
gested that they should all feel in
their pockets and see if it was in any
of them. This they did, and, singular
to say. it was found in the side pocket
of a gentleman wearing a jacket whose
pockets had frequently carried small
birds that he had shot with his gun
Evidently the ball had run up the wall
behind the seat, and a small projecting
stone had then caused it to drop down.

he, being seated, had never felt the
extra weight, as his pocket rested on

WHY APACHEs PAINT.
Customs That Have Come Down
by Tradition From Forgotten

Customs That Have Come Down
by Tradition From Forgotten
Ages.
Why do Indians paint their faces?
I have asked that question of hundreds
of red men, and have received but one
answer, says the st. Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat. OF all the tribes that 1 have
visited, but one has legend account
ing for the hideous decorations that
are to be seen on the faces of Indians
under all circumstances.
Il was sitting at a. camp fire in VIII
lage of Jacarilla Apaches one night
listening to the stories and legends
that were being told, when propound-
ed the old question again, hardly eX-
pecting even the usual expression of
ignorance that hides so many of the
thoughts of the Indians To my sur
prise, however, 1 received the answer
that L least expected. An old fellow
who had sat all the evening listening
to the stories without changing his
attitude grunted and Strengthened up
as he heard the question Proceeding
with all due solemnity, he told the fol-
lowing legend:
Long ago, when men were weak
and animals We're big and strong,
chief of the red men who lived in these
mountains went out to get deer for
his people We're hungry. After walk
ing all day he saw a deer and shot at
It, but the arrow was turned aside and
wounded a mountain lion, which was
also after the deer. When the lion felt
the sting of the arrow he jumped up
and bounded after the man, who ran
for his life. He was almost exhausted.
When he felt his strength give way
he fell to the ground, calling on the big
bear, who, you know, is the grand
father Of men, to save him. The big
bear heard the call and saw that to
save the man he must act quickly, so
he scratched his foot and sprinkled his
blood over the man.
Now, you know, no animal will eat
of the bear or taste of his blood. So
when the lion reached the man he
smelled the blood and turned away,
but as he did so his foot scraped the
face of the man, leaving the marks of
his claws on the bloody face When
the man found that he was uninjured
he was so thankful that he left the
blood to dry on his face and never
washed it at all until it peeled off.
Where the claws of the lion scrapsd
it Off there were marks that turned
brown in the sun, and where the blood
stayed on it was lighter. You know
all men paint their faces that way
with blood and scrape it off in streaks
when they hunt or so to war;

JACK AND JENNIE.
Two Fat and jolly Habitucs of n
Bathing Beach.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
All the life guards, and, in fact
everybody who frequents the beach
during the bathing hours, are ON
familiar speaking terms with Jack
and Jennie the most corpulent, the
wittiest, the jolliest, and the most per-
sistent surf bathers along the coast.
They are man and wife. Jack can
easily tip the scales at 300 pounds,
while his better half is only a shade
lighter. They have been coming down
to Atlantic City for the past ten years,
and wherever people make merry Jack
and Jennie can be seen occupying a
prominent position and having more
fun than anybody else. Rain or shine,
hot or cold, the well-matched pair can
be seen in the surf a couple of hours
every day from the 1st of June until
the LIST of September The couple are
prime favorites with the young people,
and If Jack wants to take a pretty
girl out in the surf for frolic, he
meets no opposition from the affable
Jennie. Both of them can swim fairly
well, but their forte seems to be in
floating. Jack was always a good hand
at floating, but it took a couple of
seasons hard work to teach Jennie the
graceful art. Even to this day when
she attempts it Jack always stands by
in order to lend helping hand in case
feminine nature should assert itself
and Jennie lose confidence.

DANCE AT HIGHCROFT.
The Misses Peavey Give n De-
lightfua Dancing Party.

Highcroft, the beautiful country home
of the Peaveys, at Minnetonka, was the
scene last evening of the prettiest dane
ing party given at the lake this season.
The guests were mostly of the younger
society set, with the exception of few
married friends, living at Ferndale. A
more delightful ball room could not be
imagined than the beautiful, large, old
fashioned English hall, which was
beautifully decorated with palms and
large punches of golden rod. The large
verandas and handsome grounds made
a delightful retreat for those who did
not dance. The exquisite garden was
hung with japanese lanterns. The mu-
sic was furnished by DAM. Refresh
ments were served in the dining room,
from at table prettily decorated with
cut flowers and smilax. The par1ors
were effectively decorated with palms
and large bouquets of cannas. During
the evening several figures of the ger
man were danced. Among the guests
from abroad were Miss Jennie Peavey
and Miss Bogge, of Sioux City, and
Craig Wright, of Chicago, and quite
number of young society people from

Arizona and South Dakota together as
much more. California, New Mexico,
Oklahoma, Washington and Minnesota
also have large Indian populations,
mostly upon reservations. New York
state has 5000 of the race, far more
than are found in any other state east
of the Mississippi. There are but four
Indians in Delaware, and nine in West
Virginia.
The Indians still hold more than
1Oc,Oo0,Oo9 aIres of unallotted land. The
most of this, however, is of the poorest

the smaller tribes. which chance to
occupy large and valuable reservations,
are comparatively wealthy, and are
probably worth more per capita than
any other nation in. the world.
Seventy thousand of the race now
wear civilized clothing, and are in most
particulars not to be distinguished from
the American population in whose

more clothe themselves mainly in the
