ChicaCo's Rich Men.

At public dinner given in this city number of our wealthiest citizens were present and other guests fell to discussing the probable fortunes of these individuals The discussion was pursued with excep- tional intelligence, for the reason that tho participants therein were in a way to know somewhat of what they were talk ing about. It was conceded that Marshall Field was thesHchest man in Chicago. The lowest estii kate put his wealth at $50, 000,- 000 Ther was remarkable unanimity of opinion s to the wealth of Pullman and Armour HSl5, 900, GOO and $1O, GOO, Ooo respectireiN At tho same time it was said that fhere Aere four or five other Chicago ans, by no 1keans SD well known as these whom we haSe| named, whose riches in- dividually would probably exceed those of Pullman-that is to say, in the list of Chicago millionaires with Marshall Field at the head, Pullman would be in sixth place, and between him and Phil Armour two or three other names would probably occur-Chicago Record.

Tho Location of Memory.

The memory remains intact and in per- feet working order in cases where tho left side of tho brain is badly diseased, or even if portions of it have been removed. From this the natural inference is that the right side of the brain is the seat of that most remarkable faculty. Lieutenant Brady,
 who lost portion of tho right side of tho brain from gunshot wound while in As- sam, where two thirds of tho officials are negroes, suffered remarkable lapse of memory. After he had fully recovered he knew and could call by name all his white associates, but the negroes, whom he for merly knew as well as the whites were perfect strangers to him.-London Lancet

STOPPING A RUN ON A BANK.

Several Sacks of Wagon Washers Proved
 Valuable Property.
 A man whose hair is now snow white, and whose activity long ago gave place to the slowness and feebleness of old age, tells story of how, over 30 years-in fact nearly 40 years-ago in the days of the gold fever on the Pacific coast, he stopped a run on bank by quick wittedness, nerve and boldness
 ''The bank WAS perfectly solvent" he says. but one of those wild rumors that used to float over mining towns insisted that had no gold, and that tho deposits could never be made good. The run start ed one afternoon just before the hour for closing and it was pretty exciting, I tell you. Those miners were all armed, and they swarmed around the house, swearing, shouting and bowling desperately. We continued to pay out money up to the usual hour for closing, and then we stop ped. It was just about timc to stop, too, for our gold was nearly exhausted.
 Two drove the people out of tho bank and posted big notice on the door, This bank will open ut the usual hour in the morning
 'They cheerod at that, but they did not disperse, and leaving an armed guard in the bank went home to think over some possible way of avoiding a collapse This was the plan had to follow: It was slim chance, but my only one Over in S---, another town, I had another bank no better off for ready gold than this one. I was interested in stage line, and among the property which I had acquired in dicker once was load of wagon wash CTS. They were stored over in S.. l set out on horseback at gallop for S----, had four horses hitched to a stagecoach, filled several gunny bags with washers and loaded them on the coach. The bluff did not stop there Inside and on top of the coach placed half q dozen men, armed to the teeth, to guard the immense treas ure
 i've went out of S. at sharp trot before daylight and arrived at my besieged bank shortly before the time for opening. When the crowd saw the well filled sacks, they cheered like mad, but did not say word. I had half the guards clear pas sageway, and then, while the armed men carefully watched the crowd, the sacks of washers were transferred to the vault-it was brick and sheet iron affair, on the same floor with the desks-while the crowd cheered and cheered
 "When it was time to throw open the doors for business, l came out to the steps.
 Boys!' I shouted I don't know how much of run you are going to make on this bank, so I have prepared for you. All I have to say is, start right in. There arc plenty of full sacks in this bank, and we can get more if we need them. The bank is now open for business.
 Well, those boys lifted the hair of my head with their yelling, and there was no run. A few cautious people withdrew their deposits, but we were able to pay them without having to open our sacks of washcrs-fortunately for us "-New York Trihune.

GnIy an Incident.

Railroad travel has it's pathetic no less than it's humorous aspects. In a slow train tho other day sat a worn looking, shabbily dressed man with an infant in his arms. The little one was wrapped in an old lace shawl, and the ribbon about its waist and in it's cap had evidently been placed there by unskilled hands. It seemed contented as it fed from it's bottle, and from time to time the man pressed it close to him and looked in it's face with dimmed, tender eyes. A woman with q kind face, who sat near, made remark about the beauty of the child, and the fla ther looked Up with a pathetic smile
 Yes, ma'am, she is pretty. She's like her mother That makes it harder to part from her. Since her mother was taken I've tried to raise her myself But I had to go to work every day and leave her with neighbor. She didn't get the care shes needed, and I couldn't pay for better, so I'm taking Ter to my sister, but I don't know how can stand it without her. It's a lonely thing for a man when he's done his work to know there's nothing to go home to-"
 And then he buried his head on tho baby's, and it was a long time before he looked up agan.-New York Tribune.

Still Ill.

Washington, April Is. - President
Cleveland has sent reply to the Chicago
business men, who recently asked him to
visit that city, declining the invitation,
but expressing himself entirely in accord
with their sentiments. He says: "My
attachment to the cause of sound money
and wholesome financial doctrine is SO
great that my personal inclination is
strongly in favor of accepting, but my
judgment and my estimate of the pro-
prieties of my official place oblige me to
forego the enjoyment of participating in
the occasion you contemplate. 1t is dan
gerous to overlook that vast number of
people, with scant opportunity to exam
inc the money question, who have been
ingeniously pressed with specious sug-
gestions which in this time of misfortune
and depression have found willing lis
toner's. What is needed is plain and
simple presentation of the argument In
favor of sound money. If our people
we're isolated from all others, and if the
question of currency could be treated
without regard to our relations with
other countries, it's character would be
matter of comparatively little import
ance. An insidious attempt is being made
to create prejudice against the advo-
Gates of safe and sound currency by the
insinuation that they belong to financial
and business classes, and are therefore
not only out of sympathy with the COM
mon people of the land, but, for selfish
and wicked purposes, are willing to sacri.
fee the interests of those outside their
circle. This can really beso only in matter
of degree. As one has more wealth he is
more affected by things for the good of
all the people in the safe character of the
currency. The line of battle is drawn
between the forces of safe currency and
those of silver monometallism. do not
believe that if the people are afforded an
opportunity for sober thought that they
will sanction the schemes undermining
the foundation of safe currency"

SENSATIONAL STORY.
Claim that the Assassin Of Lincoln
is Alive In south America.

Newark, Ohio, April 15.-Christopher
Columbus Ritter, who arrived from Ger
many in the winter of 1854 and through
j. Wilkes Booths influence secured po-
sition in Ford's theater, tells new story
of Lincolns assassination, claiming that
Austin Corbett shot Edwin Edwards
Fuches, an actor resembling Booth, and
not President Lincoln's assassin. He is
we'll educated and his character is above
reproach. He declared that he assisted
Booth to escape and that they sailed for
Brazil on May 2, 1865. He soon left
Brazil, but met Booth by appointment
eleven years ago. Booth gave him pic
lures of the children of his South Ameri-
can wife. The pictures, now in Ritter's
possession, bear strong resemblance to
Booth. Ritter says that he heard from
Booth last winter and that he was then
on the South American stage.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

The Silver City Enterprise says that
the Van Smelling company will start up
the Flagler works next week. switch
has been put in from the main track, and
| everything will be in first-class condition.
The company is prepared to purchase
and treat ores of all descriptions.
Joe E. Sheridan has leased the old Han
over mine from Hon. T. D. Catron and
will commence work upon it next week.
This is one of the old mines worked by
! the Spaniards and produced vast guam
titles of copper in years gone by, as
shown by the old Spanish records. The
ruins of five smelling furnaces near the
mine show that it was worked quite ex-
tensively.-Silver City Enterprise.
GENERAL NOTES.
The deepest gold mine in the world is
at Eureka, CAL; depth, 1880 feet; deep
eat silver mine at Carson City, New, $1,000
feet.
A three-foot vein, carrying ore that
runs $50 per ton has been disco vered on
the ranch of Joseph Lounine, nine miles
south of Ration.
Will Hendershott, who is cleaning up
and putting everything in shape for the
development of T. h. Kent's gold placer
fields in He'll canon, brought several fine
golden nuggets into Albuquerque the
other day.
Judge Caldwell made no mistake when
he said "To conduct mining operations
without making any provisions for the
proper supervision and inspection of the
miners, is opposed to sound public pol
icy and is cruel and inhuman."
Last week M. A. Otero M. Slattery and
G. A. Rothgeb, of Las Vegas, shipped to
Pueblo 527 sacks of ore taken from the
Golden Dawn, Wall Street and Oro Fino
mines, in Water canon, for treatment in
their mill at that place by their electric
process. -Socorro Chisftain.
George Lufkins, the pioneer discoverer
of Lake Valley, has made find on the
Berenda near Ed. Patton's goat ranch. A
sample of 800 pounds of ore shipped to
the smelter at Deming run 1922 80 In gold,
S1l.12 in silver and $2O8O in copper,
with net value of $3S,72 per ton at
Deming.
The Lost Mine, at Central, owned by
julius Wellgehausen will, in the future,
be known as one of the gold producers
of this county. Mr.. Wellgehausen came
down to the sampler this week with 6,479
pounds of ore taken from this mine,
which assayed 7.3 ounces in gold and IL
ounces in STRENGTHENING Headlight.
A well-informed mining man writes
the Denver Daily Mining Record that
"The new Cochiti district west of Santa
Fe has established reputation for real
merit at this time. 1t is expected that
the work of the summer will show i'm
portant discoveries, and that tho mines
already open will be more productive.'

Sensation In winnipeg Involving
Religion and Education.

Winnipeg, Man., April 15.-Archbishop
Langevin, the Roman Catholic head in
western Canada, caused sensation here
last night when ha announced that here
after all 80 called adherents who did not
follow the teachings of the church in
matters of education could not be regarded
as members of the church. This has an
important bearing on the Manitoba
school question and means the excom-
muuication of Catholics who have taken
stand against the church and with the
Manitoba government in the fight for
the national schools. It is reported that
special encyclical from Rome has been
received by the Manitoba bishops to this
effect.
