WAYS OF MAKING MONEY.
Human Ingenuity I'm Turning DrOss
Into Gold.
rom the London Public Opinion

From the London Public Opinion.
Where are we to look for new outlets?
Inventors and discoverers are the savfors
of society. The Photographic art is mod
ern enough to be a useful case in point.
PHOTOGRAPHERS increased Al per cent from
1871 to 1881, and 50 per cent in the follow
ing decade. New industries give rise to
new wastes, and it was not long before 1t
was discovered that the precious metal
used in the developing solutions could be
recovered, or that the yolk of eggs, whose
white was employed in providing albumin
lied paper need not be thrown away as
yalueless, but would realize handsome
prices from pastry cooks.
The history of waste products, indeed,
is extremely instructive and very per-
tinent to this article. Lord Palmertson
declared that dung was only gold in the
wrong place" In some cases bypr oductS
have become the main products. Gas tar,
truly an unpromiSing material, now yields
numberless products. as science primer
shows.
From even more unlikely sources scents
are obtained. AS Lord Playfair once said:
Many fair forehead is damped with the
huile de mille-fieurs without knowing that
its essential ingredient is derived from the
drainage of cow house." To the French
belongs the greatest credit in discovering
new means of making money. The Partisan

are faxed to look as good as new.
1t was a Partisan who first utilized old
sardine tins. long regarded as worthless.
He extracted the solder and utilized the
tin in the manufacture Of toys and for
beating into furniture. Another Partisan.

made them into bread-crumbS for cooks,

Trying to- Save Something From the
Wreck at st. Johns.

ST. JOHNS. ". F.. January Is. The
shareholders of the Union Bank met again
last night TO elect directors to replace those
by whose msmanagement the failure of
the bank was brought about. A new board
OF five Keen business men was elected.
They Will have to consult with the govern
ment on the matter of legislation.
The government has a bill tabled pro-
viding for the winding up of the bank, but
IL is opposed by the shareholders and
many OF the creditors. A bill satisfactory
to both will be negotiated.
The city is Indignant at the disgraceful
showing made by the ex-directors of the
bank. -Four of them owed s1.15O,0OO on
overdrafts and exchange OF this sum the
bank loses Sl.O0O.0OO hopelessly.
The lower officers of the crown are re-
ported to be considering the propriety Of
pros, cutting them. but one of the di
rectors IS a political associate of the Off
GERS they will not act unless they are
forced to do so.
The trade value of Union Bank notes IS
dropping steadily. Today they were worth
only CD cents on the dollar. but the bank is
expected TO pay about 50 cents when 1T is
wound up. This Will take about two years.
Goodridge & Sons compromised last right
with their creditors at 10 cents on the dol
lar. The creditors of Mr.. StearS will meet
socn. and il is thought that a compromise
will be effected at about the same figures.
Every firm except perhaps DuderS will
lie encouraged to continue business. The
establishment of outside banks is stimulat-
irg trade somewhat, but the only lively
market is that for provisions These are
selling well by shop keepers who accept
notes of the defunct banks.
The government has railroaded resolu-
tiCns through both houses appealing to the
governor to sign the bill abolishing the
disabilities against Sir William Whiteway
and the other politicians who were dis
qualified for corrupt practices. The bill is

The governor has been instructed from

MATTERS IN THE HOUSE

The credentials of Mr.. Frye of Maine,
certifying his reelection for term Of six
years. were presented by the Senator's col
league, Mr. Hale, on the opening of the
Senate today.
Mr. PETER Qkan) presented a bill en-
bodying his views of dealing with the pres
ent financial conditions. The measure Is
entitled "A bill to replenish the treasury
and provide an abundant and safe cur
rency."
1t provides for repeating the laws author
izing the issue of bonds and for the iD:me-
diate issue of $1OOOOO.OOO in treasury notes,
to be redeemable in silver or gold.
Mr.. PETER said he was inspired by the
same motive as that animating Mr.. fugn
in urging yesterday that Senators should
at once meet the financial emergency. The
first question demanding attention was the
replenishment Of the treasury. The sale OF
bonds had proved failure, as the sales or
$1OO.OOO,OOO had not prevented the treasury
gold reserve from falling to seventy MIL
lions.
The army appropriation bill was then
passed with an amendment that the con-
templated change in army pests Ill the
northwest should rot lead to the aoand0n-
ment of Forts Vancouver and Walla W AHA,

The Lieutenant General Bill.
Efforts were made to take up the bill

Suicide of Mrs. Parkinson.

Last Sunday afternoon at the house
at 4.3O o'clock occurred the funeral
services of Mrs. Charles Parkinson,
Rev. E. E. Marggraf officiating. The
remains were buried in Oak Hill ceme-
terry. Mrs. Parkinson died on the pre-
ceeding Friday morning at 4.30 O'Clock
under very peculiar circumstances.
She lived in Mrs. w. HI. Upham's
house on Atkinson street. On Thurs
day afternoon she left the house very
quietly, and it was subsequently learned
went to Andrews drug store and pur-
chased Is grains of morphine. Shortly
after Mrs. Upham found her in her own
room lying upon the floor in great
agony. DIR. Hill was at once summoned,
but as she had been suffering for long
time from a gastric trouble the doctor
did not suspect that she had any trouble
more serious than usual. Accordingly
he left medicines which were given
from time to time, until 4.30 o'clock
Friday morning, when it was discov-
cred that the patient was dead.
Mrs. Parkinson had been suffering
from melancholia ever since the death
of her daughter, Alice, some two
months ago, and had often limited at
suicide. For some years she has been
considered an eccentric woman. She
was 60 years of age and an attendant at
the Universalist church.
There is but little doubt that Mrs.
Parkinson took the morphine with sui
cidal intent, and that her mind was de
ranged by the great bereavement over
the loss of her daughter. 1t was not
definitely ascertained, however, that
she had committed suicide until Fri
day night.
