Few people in Washington take
any stock in the Story that comes

Mr. Harrison has made a combina'

Warner Miller on the Harrison

Mr.. Harrison for one Of the
shrewdest politicians the country

is too lignifed to get down to the
level from which political wires
have to be pulled, and knowing that

With few exceptions democrats
are agreed that it is the duty Of tie
democratic senators to retain the
control of the Senate until they are
freed to give it up. There will be
no occasion to fill The vacancy in
the Office Of president pro tenn. of
the Senate so long as Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson is on hand every
day to preside over The Senate, and
he can be counted upon to be on
hand unless prevented by serious
illness. 1t is understood that the
democratic steering committee OF
the Senate will recommend follow
ing this line Of policy; also that
every measure which comes before
the Senate shall be fully debated
by the democrats, in order shat the
position of the party may he fully
understood by the country. The
republican senators can, Of course,
obtain control Of the senate at once
with the assistance of the populiSts
and without their aid if Dupont is
seated from Delaware when the
Utah senators take their seats,
which will probably be early in the
coming year, If they can agree
among themselves, but up to this
time they are a long ways from
agreeing, and by harmonious and
skilful tactics the democrats may
remain in control during the entire
session.

REMARKABLE MEMORIES.

MAX MULLER knew eighteen differ
ent languages to the extent of being
able to speak or write in any one, and a
considerable number in addition less
perfectly.
LINCoLN's memory for the details of
national business was uneXampled. He
recalled the particulars of every cab
met meeting with the most scrupulous
eXactneSs.
JOIN WESLEY remembered the names
Of many hundreds of the members of
his societies, and was rarely at fault
when addressed by anyone whom he
had met before.
ADMIRABLE CREIGHTON is said to have
been the master of all the arts and
sciences of his day. He was able to
converse and dispute in argument in
twelve languages.
ELIHU BURRITT, ''the learned black
smith, knew eighteen languages. He
was self-taught, geaerally needing only
a dictionary and d grammar to master
any language he chose to learn.
MITHRIDATEs is said to have known
by name every soldier in his army of
ten thousand to twenty thousand men.
He spoke twenty-five different Ian
guages, all that were used in his king

RENAUDoT, the great religious and

A Night Adventure of Three Girls on a
California Road.

''We were driving from Oakland over
the ridge that divides Alameda and
Contra Costa county, three girls bound
for country dance at Moraga Valley.
little settlement on the Contra Costa
side. 1t was late in January, and the
night was pitch dark, but as the young
rancher who drove knew every inch OF
the way we were not afraid
eve had made the ascent of the
mountain and were driving down at a
good pace when suddenly the horses
stopped, reared and then swerved tC
one side, overturning the rCckaway and
landing us all in the mud OF the side
of the road. No one was hurt, and as
we picked ourselves up, wondering in a
dazed way what the trouble was about,
something leaped out of the bushes,
over the backs of the PROSTATE horses,
and lit in the brush on the lower side OF
the road. There was a fearful roar,
and then we saw two great, green eyes
staring out of the darkness.
THE driver had succeeded in pulling
the frightened horses to their feet and
righting the wagon. He ordered US to
get into our seats, and, handing the
lines to the girl on the front seat, he
told her to hang on for dear life.
Its a lion, and he'll jump in an
other minute" said the man.
Then, as we sat speechless from
fright, the rancher drew his revolver.
There was a scream. unlike and more
dreadful than anything L had ever
heard; then the great beast rolled a
few feet III the brush and was still.
after the horses were quoted and
we had regained our composure suffi-
GENTLY we jumped out of the roclkaway
and with the aid OF matches examined
our game. It was a splendid young
California mountain lion, measuring
about four feet in length. We three
girls were all very brave when we
found the beast was really dead, so we
helped the driver lift the carcass into
the back of the wagon and then con-
tinued our trip, creating a great sensa-
ton among the rustics at the dance
when we told of our adventure. To be
sure, we gave the driver credit for the
actual killing, but weren't we there
when it happened, and didn't we keep
quiet, instead Of screaming as lots OF
girls would have done?"

COLDFIELD LETTER.
Day by Day the Outlook Grows
Brighter.

GoLDF1ELD, Ariz., March %, 1895.
1t is currently reported that the af-
fairs OF the Bull Dog Mining company
are on a fair way to an early settleme ut
and there is every expectation that the
owners of the mine will begin opera
tons soon.
Irwin & Damon, the contractors on
the Palo Verde claim, have completed
their work OF sinking fifty feet on the
ledge. The apparent width of this
ledge is about ten feet. The ore did
not grade as high as was expected and
no foot wall was discovered. However,
a systematic sampling might have
made a much better showing, and
further development will doubtless give
much better results, as the ledge shows
up we'll and the indications for large
amount of the precious metal are every
where in evidence.
Messrs. Sears and Macdonald, the
owners of the Fairstake and other
properties, have decided to confine
their operations to prospecting for the
present; the outlook on their properties
is highly favorable and should they
succeed in uncovering bodies of ore
sufficient to justify the erection of q
large plant capable of treating all
classes OF ores they will overcome the
only drawback which prevents this
district from becoming one of the fore
most producers of gold bullion in the
United States.
Superstition Mine No. l, continues in
good ore; the free gold ID the ore is not
always regular but the average assay
grades well.
The Rich Hill properties have been
found to be- among the largest deposit
torres of ore in Goldfeld, having large
lodges which contain gold in three con-
ditions-free gold partially free gold
and gold associated with manganiferous
iron. This latter appears to be the ori-
ginal source of all the gold found above
the water level In the Superstition dis
trict.
Daniel Reagan, an old time miner
and prospector, arrived in town yester-
day from Silver King.
Work is progressing on the Nam

Queen and Mammoth ores are looking

The Undertaken Speaks.

"There are fats said an under
taker, ''that appear to have been built
with view Of getting people in, but
not with view of getting them out.
1t is work of difficulty to take cas-
ket down the stains, and great care is
required. If there is an elevator the
casket is carried down on that if it is
large enough; if there is not room for
the casket directly across, it may be
placed in the elevator cornerwise; but
it is not taken down in the elevator I'M
less there is room for it to rest entirely
upon the floor; if otherwise it is carried
downstairs. If a funeral is held up
stairs, it is better not to let the casket
be carried down by honorary pallbear-
ers, but to have it carried by profess
sional pallbearers, who know best how
so handle casket under such circum-
stances"
