Ono Of New York City's Mos.
Stately Mansions.
Its Walls Are High, Halls and staIrcasuf
Wido and Roomy, with an Air oy
Luxurious Com fort in AD Che
SurroundIngI.

The spacious New York residence of
George j. Gould, in the Moorish draw
ing-room of which his sister Anna was
made Countess de Castellane, is To-
Gated at the corner of Fifth avenue and
S1xty-seventh street. 1t is beautiful
home; the walls are high, the halls and
staircases wide and roomy, with an air
of luxurious comfort In all the sur
roundings.
Upon ascending the broad brown
stone steps, with their couched and
vigilant lions keeping guard, and,
passing the vestibule, the visitor finds
himself In splendid hall, from which
he Is conducted into stately waiting
room on the left furnished In the STYLES
OF Louis XVI, with chairs and tables
OF narrow and slender form and ele-
giant workmanship.
In the rear of this reception room Is
an alcove furnished with the richness
that would delight a connoisseur.
Across the hall is a magnificent apart
ment, known as the Moorish drawing
room. All the wainscoting here and
woodwork is made of solid ebony, elab-
orately carved by hand and inlaid with
mother of pearl, the floor alone being
of inlaid sandalwood, with oil finish.
In the center Of the room is carved
ebony tete-a-tete of large size, like
wise inlaid with pearl and wrought by
hand, the cushions and upholstery
being Of richly-brocaded oriental
stuff, fit to grace the palace of one of
the old moguls of Delhi.

pictures, wonderful inlaid table,
colossal Japanese urn of beaten brass,
with the richest carvings, and count
less objects of vertu complete the fur
nishing of this room. The velvety skin
of Bengal tiger is spread on the floor
at the entrance, and his fiery eyes and
open jaws guard it from intrusion.
The Moorish drawing-room opens by
a pair of folding doors into the music

and, If possible, even more magnificent,
or, at least, more dazzling. The room
Is furnished In the style of Louis XVI,

University of West Virginia.. This
would have fixed Mr.. Wilson's sphere
of work had it not been for political
ruction and party split at his home in
Charleston, w. Va, which was settled
by the opposing factions uniting on
Mr.. Wilson. The campaign was hot
one and Mr.. Wilson finally won by nine
votes.
He was then continuously reelected to
congress. He received good committee
assignments from the first, going on
Judiciary, appropriations and ways and
means. His experience shortly after
the war as professor of law in Colum-
bian college equipped him for the work
on the Judiciary committee.
In the four congress eras of recent
tariff changes-the Morrison bill, the
Mills bill, the Mckinley bill and the
Wilson bill-Mr. Wilson took a leading
part. He did much of the work of con.
structing the Mills bill and he and Rep
resentative Breckinridge started on q
successful tour of platform speeches
throughout the east, indorsing Presi.
dent Cleveland's tariff-revision message.
During the Mills-Crisp contest for the
speakership, Mr.. Wilson cast his lot
with Mr.. Mills and when Mr.. Crisp won
he designated Mr.. Springer chairman
of the ways and means committee.
When reelected speaker, however, Mr..
Crisp choose Mr.. Wilson to be chair
man of the ways and means committee
and In this capacity he framed the
measure which was the basis of the
present tariff law.

Largest California Gold Nugget.

Louis Blanding, recognized author
aty on anything pertaining to gold or
California history, says that the gener-
ally accepted statement that the largest
gold nugget ever found on the Pacific
slope was worth s21, 900 is an erroneous
one. He says that ]. j. Finney found q
lump of gold about six miles from
Downieville, Sierre county California,
on the 21st day Of August, 1857, that
weighed fraction over 5000 ounces.
Gold was at that time worth about SIS
an ounce which would make the value
of that single lump something like s90,-
900. Blanding further says that there
Is no doubt that this nugget was the
largest piece of gold ever found. The
next largest was from the Ballarat
(Australia) gold field, and was worth
500, 900.

the common schools and at Willamette

left Yanhill county and located at ST.
Helen's, Columbia county, at which
place he has made his home ever since.
In 1882 he was elected to the Oregon
house of representatives, and was sub

In 1886 Mr.. Mcbride was nominated by
the republicans for secretary of state
and was elected. His popularity is at

The crab sometimes catches q fish,
and it catches 1t without hook and line.
1t lies In wait, perhaps in some creek,
with Its claws extended in front, and
open. Perhaps school of killies comes
along, and 1t may be that a killie on the
outskirts of the school may SWIM un-

Representative Page has presented in
the house of representatives petitions
signed by 10000 voters, praying that the
sale of Intoxicating drinks be prohibited
in this state on Memorial Day. This
large number of signers is backed up by
l55 Grand Army posts. More petitions
favoring this measure have been pre-
sented than for any other bill at this
session, but its passage is very doubt
full. The petition reads as follows:
1--WE, the undersigned believing that
lessons of patriotism are needed to in
struct and to instill in the rising genera
tion proper respect and love for our
country and believing that the public
ccremonials of Memorial Day devoted to
the memory of deceased and fallen he
roes, who preferred their lives in its de-
fense, who died that it might live, call
for decorum, thoughtfulncss and sober
ness on the part of all people, therefore
we pray you to pass law closing all
saloons and other places provided for
the sale of intoxicating liquors as bev-
eragc on that day"

Political Record of the Newly Made Post
master General


William L. Wilson, who succeeds Mr..
Bissen as postmaster general, is best
known to the country in connection
with his recent tariff work in congress.
He has been tariff student since he
first entered congressional life in 1882,
but 1t was not until the present con-
gress that he became chairman of the
ways and means committee, and as
such the official leader of the majority
In the house.
Prior to his first election to congress
in 1882 he had taken little part in poll
tics, except in being u delegate to the
democratic national convention at Gin
cinnati, and subsequently an elector-at-
large from West Virginia. Early In
1889 he was chosen president of the

Primitive Butter-Making Methods.

Among the Arabs a practice from
time immemorial has prevailed of
churning by placing the milk in leather
skins, which were shaken or beaten
until the butter came. The Huns did
their churning by tying bag of milk
to short lariat, the other end OF which
was fastened to the saddle.

Washington, March .!

washington. March ~, 1875.
President Cleveland and the other
members of the administration are en-
tirely satisfied with the present state of
the various diplomatic complications
The new ministry of Spain has sent a
communication explaining the delay in
replying to Secretary Gresham's demand
in the Allianca case, and it is probable
that the demanded apology will speedily
follow; there has been decided let
down in the attitude of the British gov
ernment as to its dealings with Mica
ragua and Venezuela since President
Cleveland instructed Ambassador Bay
ard to inform the British foreign office
that if it violated the Monroe doctrine
in its dealings with those countries the
United States would forcibly interfere,
and all of the other complications are
being pushed to satisfactory settle
ment.
According to the latest advices from
Germany, President Cleveland's deter
mination not to appoint delegates to the
expected monetary conference, because
of the difference between the avowed
purposes for which it was proposed to
hold the conference and those of con-
ference which the Wolcott amendment
to the sundry civil appropriation bill
authorized the United States to take
part in, was unnecessary. 1t seems that
the government of Germany has been
engaged in a little game of buncombe,
for the purpose of placating the BIZ
metalists over there who have been
making themselves troublesome, and
it had no real intention of inviting the
powers to attend monetary conference
At the last cabinet meeting a local
photographer succeeded in getting
splendid group picture of President
Cleveland and his entire cabinet, which
will make fitting companion picture
for that of President Clevelands first
cabinet, taken just previous to the re-
tirement of Secretary Manning, from
the cabinet, just as this one was taken
before the retirement of Postmaster
General Bissell. Mr.. Bissell will retire
tomorrow and on Monday Hon. w. L.
Wilson will assume the duties of post

SAN JOSE SCALE.
The Lady Bug Destroying the Insect on
Orchard and Forest Trees.

The Lady Bug Destroying the Insect on
Orchard and Forest Trees.
Mr.. T. M. Denton, who has been en-
gagged in the fruit industry in this
vicinity for the bast twenty-five years,
says that he thinks the San Jose scale
is doomed in this neighborhood by the
introduction of the Australian lady
bug, and there are thousadds now feed
ing on the insect. This bug was first
brought to California from Australia
several years ago, and has proved very
destructive to the scale in that state.
Some time ago several were imported
into this neighborhood, and turned
loose in our orchards. They have
propagated wonderfully, and now on
pine and other trees countless num-
bers can be seen feeding on the scale.
Last Sunday Mr.. Denton visited the
orchard of his brother, Mr.. c. w.
Denton, which has been terribly af-
flicted with the scale, and he found
lady bugs had been doing good SER
vice. Very many of the trees are per-
fectly clear of scale, and on others
it was rapidly being destroyed
These bugs will do away with the nee
essity of spraying, and this should not
be INDUCED in as it is fatal to the bug.
They do not injure the foliage, but
feed entirely on insects, and it is not
in the least hazardous to place them
on trees, when in bloom or after the
fruit is formed. That the scale is
doomed in this vicinity will be good
news to fruit growers, and will insure
those engaged in that industry re-
ceiving good returns from their labors.
