NEW MINE CRAZE.
San Francisco Man Says This Country VIII
 Re Excited.

4te EXclteQs
 Irwin c. Stump of San Francisco be- lieves that the eagerness for investment in mines which now prevails in London, Paris and Berlin will soon extend over this country. ''There is at present as great excitement in London over the mining properties, said he, "as there was in San Francisco in 1876 over the discovery of the Comstock lode There is no doubt that an exploration compa- ny will soon be formed in New York. Senator Jones is deeply interested in the project. D. O. Mills and John w. Mackay will invest in it.
 All the money needed to carry on 8 work in the United States similar to that which the Rothsehilds are backing in Africa can be had in New York in a short time. If a mine owner comes with mine for sale to the company, he will be requested to pay for an examination of it by one of the experts of the company If the experts report is satisfactory, the company will buy the mine and develop iv, or will sell it, charging commis- sion, or if the mine owner wants enough money to put up mill the company will do that and take a share, or the company will take the property and sec what it contains, and if it is not satis- factory after certain amount of work has been done it will be dropped and the loss accepted.
 The great excitement in Europe over mines has extended to this country, and there are ten mines now offered for sale in New York to one in San Francisco. I think this movement in American mines will begin in the fall ''-Chica- go Times Herald.

Little Alsonso to the Pope.

King Alfonso has answered the letter recently sent him by the pope. He de- stroyed six drafts of the letter, but the seventh satisfied him, and he showed it to his mother the queen regent, who corrected the single error. The king was chagrined because of the correction, but was comforted with the suggestion that his holiness might suppose the king himself made it. This is said to be the first letter written by the king, who is years old. New York Sun.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
How Street Fakirs Honest Dealing Was
 Rewarded.

How a Street Falirs Honest Dealing Was
 Rewarded.
 Gentlemen, said the street fakir as he arranged his bottles on the table be- fore him, T did not come here to lie and deceive and rob you of your hard earned dollars. I have stuck to the truth all my life, and, though that is the reason I am poor man, shall con tinue to speak the truth to the end of nay days. y
 The crowd had been coldly surveying his preparations, but began to warm up little over his address
 ''I might say to you, he went on as he held up one of the bottles in loving way, between his eye and the sun, that this medicine was discovered by a celebrated medicine man of the Sioux tribe of Indians, but why deceive you? It is remedy entirely unknown to the Indians. It is my own discovery, and l never saw an Indian i'll my life.
 I could tell you that this compound would cure Bright's disease, and in ten minutes every bottle would be sold, but could l sleep tonight with the weight of so much deception on my conscience? How could ever again look an honest man in the face after telling such a falsehood? It will not cure Brights disease-it would even hasten the end of q victim of that baleful complaint '
 There were now 100 men in front of the fakir, and at least half of them had their hands ill their pockets in search of money
 Il could say that it was a pain killer, continued the man as he brought out more bottles from all old satehel, but an accusing voice would be whispering ill my ear forevermore. You might rub barrel of it on you, and it would not affect pain I miss the sales of at least 50 bottles because I tell the truth, but it must be so ?
 Gimme bottle l' shouted dozen men ill chorus as they held mp their $1 bills.
 No, gentlemen-not yet. I will neither deceive you nor allow you to deceive yourselves. You are an honest, eonfding people, and might tell you that this discovery would stop a headache i'll five minutes, and yon would believe me and hand up your money. It will not cure q headache. I even declare that it would make one ten times worse. l"
 The number of men who now wanted a bottle was at least 20, but the fakir waved them aside and said:
 HWait q minute. The discovery will not cure consumption after one lung is gone It will not cure catarrh after the disease has firm hold on the bronchial tubes. After both kidneys have wasted away 1t Is no use to take it. It simply puriffes the blood, and thus''-
 "Gimme bottle Gimme bottle r yelled 50 men as they pressed forward, and ill less than ten minutes the last one had been sold and the falir had the money i'll his pocket.
 As we went down on the train to Nashville that afternoon together I asked:
 After you have mixed water, mo- 1asses and alcohol together do you add anything else?"
 Yes, cayenne pepper to make it bite, and the solemn truth to make it sell, !" he solemnly replied as he took out his wad of bills and spread them on bis knees and started out to find the sum total. Boston Herald.

1t was at Chester that MIR. Gladstone
made what is probably his last great
speech for humanity and against the un-
speakable Turk. The theme inspired
him, as indeed it might. and from the
summary of the address delivered in be-
half Of the Armenian Christians and
against their prosecutors it is plain that
it ranks among the great efforts of a
long life full of such stirring calls to
duty. His references to American sym
pathy are fully justified, and his gen.
eral proposition to have Europe take
charge of the Armenians and deliver
them from the hands of their prosecutors
will be widely approved.-New York
