IIeney is Convicted.

The jury IN the Heney case, after
being out over five hours, brought in
a verdict of guilty ut 9:45 Saturday
night. The Jury took six ballots be-
fore agreeing on their verdict. Five
OF these stood eleven to one for con-
v%iction, and on the sixth they we're
unanimous. Judge Hawley ordered
Heney to appear at 10 o'clock Tuesday
morning for centence. The penalty is
from one to ten years imprisonment
in a United Stases prison to be desig
mated by the Judge.
The verdict will be considered Just
by all who believe that stealing from
the government is a crime. That
Heney took gold from the Mint and
converted it to his own use there can
be no doubt in the mind OF anyone
who has watched his course since the
discovery OF the Mint shortage. That

forts made bp the old ring to keep

eminent. Innocent men do not en-
gage in such criminal work.
Tho Reno Journal inIdiscussing this
phnse OF the case, says: aNow the
question is will he make a full con.

were? Men who have been employed
in the mint say it was impossible for
any one person TO have stolen any
considerable amount of gold or silver
from any of the departments without
the knowledge Of others" Will He.
ney tell who these persons nre?"
Whether Heney c~oniesses or not,
the Government should continue its
efforts until the whole gang are placed
behind the bars to keep him company.

Process Recently Patented by which IL
Can Bo Manufactured
The silk worm has n formidable rival
in the parsonage of DIR. Lehner. of Zu-
rich, who has patented II process and
formed Il company for the manufacture
OF this commodity.
BY II simple chemical and mechanical
process the inventor hns succeeded in
converting wood pulp, cotton or jutc
waste, when mixed in the form of a
liquid product, into an unbrOlicn thread
OF even diameter and any length. Tho
thread, as thus spun by the mechanical
SILK worm, can, says the Scientific
American, be twisted into any desired
diameter.
The features Of the process arc the
hevcr-failing supply OF raw material,
uniform price Of same, and the cheap
production of the silk.
In dycing and weaving no special
treatment is necessary, and the shades
obtained excel in brillinncy and deli
cacy those Of the finest natural silk,
Its low cost will open up u large field
among manufacturers, and an unlim'
tied variety Of ornamental and decora'
tive results may be expected.

40 INDIAN L,r,pd or creation.

Among the many interesting ira.
ditions that have recently been
brought to light by a gentleman who
has been making a careful study Of
the legends and folk lore OF the Chey-
enue and Arapahoe Indians OF the
Indian Territory, is ono that accounts
in an original way for the origin OF
women. The Indians OF these tribes
sniff ~disdainfully at the rib theory
when the resident missionaries try to
teach them the initial lessons OF the
Old Testament regarding their first
parents. The wise men oftheir tribes
long ago wrestled with the funda-
mental facts OF creation and evolved
theories concerning it, which the
lnpso Of time have come to be looked
upon by the Indians OF to. day rs his
torical truths. 1t is little wonder that
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lraves
look down upon their women rs in
ferrior beings. Tho legend says that
originally all men were created with
long, sleek and comedy tails. These
tails were their delight, and they
adorned them with paint beads and
wampum. Then the world was at
peace-discord and war; were un-
known. Men became prosperous
and proud, forgot their Maker and be!
came enyious and quarrelsome. Their
Maker became displeased with them,
and sent a scourge upon them to
teach them humility and make them
realize their dependence on the Great
Spirit.
He amputated their tails, and out
Of these beautiful members fashioned
women.
Women, say the Cheyennes, still
retain traces OF their origin, for we
find them yer trailing after men,
risky and impulsive.-St. LOUIS Re.

WELL PAID FOR A FLoaalna.

How . Poor Naturalist Got tho Beginning
of a Large Fortune.
John James Mage, q quiet, middle
nged man, has had n career US roman
tic rs that of Monte Crlsto. Mage,
says the CHILEAN Times, is now n Guate-
malan millionaire, who lives nine
months OF h year in Paris. Twenty
years ngo he was n poor English collec-
tor of insects in Guatemala, and also
acted as the British vice consul ut San
Jose.
One day Commandante Gonzalez or
dered Mage to appear before him.
Mage sent word that he would come in
u short time. This incensed the COM
mandante, and he sent q file of soldiers
after Mago, and when the insect col
lector appeared ordered seventy-five
lashcs to be laid upon his bare back.
This was done very thoroughly, and,
when II was finished. Gonzalez shouted:
Give him twenty-five more for
luckl'
When Mage recovered, which was
only after careful nursing, as his back
was badly cut up, he made n formal
complaint to the British government.
The result was that Guatemala was or

Mayo five hundred dollars Zone hun
dred pounds stcrling) for every lash he
had received. In default of this, Eng
Ish cruisers would shell San Jose and
other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Gonzalez,
but tried hard to evadc paying fifty
thousand dollars to Mage. The Brit
ish, however, were memorable, and the
poorcollcctor vas made Il comparative
ly rich man in n day. As he had
more coin han any man in the country
Mt that time, President Barrios went
into partnership with him.
Mago became one Of the largest cof-
fee planters, and also secured the con-
tract for building docks in the ports.
No one can land or leave one of these
docks without paying toll to Mage,
while he also levies n tax on all freight.
lie also owns valuable mines and tracts
of timber. His fortune is estimated Mt
one million pounds sterling, all due to
one hundred lashcs on his back.
