"Ghauteea''-in English, wharf or
bank men"-is the name given to a
class of people, always Brahmins, who
at certain religious festivals line the
banks of the Gauges, extorting a fee
from each bather. At Benares, for
distance Of five miles, the bank of the
Ganges is besprinkled with temples
and earthen and wooden platforms,
which overlook the bank of the holy
stream; scarcely cubit's length is left
for a landing place for boats and trav
elers. Every one of these platforms is
occupied by its proprietor, who sits
cross-legged, in the simple dignity of
nudity, mumbling out, in a measured
and monotonous voice, the names of his
favorite divinities. Every orthodox
Hindoo, as he comes out of the broad
bosom of Ganga, makes an offering to
the Ghauteea, who, in return, marks
his forehead and pronounces a blessing
When the bathers are foreigners they
are not allowed even to approach the
stream in places occupied by the Ghau-
teeas until they have paid down the
sum demanded of them.

THE SPINNER STATUE. signed, cast and
paid for through their efforts. For near
1y two years the statue has been COM
pleted, but thus far the grateful women
have been unable to place it before the
public, owing to the fact that congress
has not been willing to cease talking
long enough to pass-a joint resolution
designating a site. It is believed, how
ever, that the present congress will take
the necessary action and that the statue
will ere long be placed on one of the ap-
proaches or buttresses of the treasury
department..
The statue represents the former treas
urer standing in characteristic atti-
tude with his familiar old cloak hang
ing about him, his hand thrust into the
bosom of his coat and his hat on his
head. The face, like that Of Lincoln, is
homely, but strong and full of character.
General Spinner was born in No
hawk, N. Y, Jan. p, 1902, and was of
German descent. He was elected to con
gress rs an antislavery Democrat in
1854, but was an active Republican from
the formation of the party. He served
six years in congress and was treasurer
of the United States from March, 1861,
to July, 1875. In 1862, when many
clerks in the treasury enlisted in the
army. Spinner suggested that women be
employed in the different departments.
The proposal met with opposition, but
Spinner gained his point.
Miss Jennie Douglass, a powerful
girl, was the first to be employed, and
she so Plainly demonstrated that women
could trim bank notes as we'll as men
that others of her sex were given posi-
tions. AS result of General Spinner 5
act nearly every important country i'll
the world now employs women in its
civil service. Before his death General
Spinner said that the fact that he was
instrumental in opening the departments
to women gave him more real satisfac
ton than all the other deeds of his life

Domestic Life of the First Consul.


Much Of the same policy was still
displayed in the official receptions held
in the Tuileries. In the first place, the
domestic life Of the Bonapartes was
carefully accented by the presence of
the first consul's wife and sisters with
their families. No mistresses were
ever allowed to f1aunt themselves in
public under either the consulate or the
empire. The same standards of con-
jugal fidelity were to be supposed valid
in the first family of the land as in
those of the masses. Then, too, there
was displayed a genial familiarity,
sometimes even brusque and rude, like
that prevalent among the middle class
the good-fellowship which they adj
mired above every other quality. OF
course, there must be ceremonial, and
on high occasions the great officers of
state with the diplomatic corps were
arrayed in a circle like that ceremony
in courts from immemorial times. But
these latter personages, grand as they
were, had to put up with much the
same treatment from the drst consul
while making his rounds as that which
his relatives, his state and military Of
ficials, and the plain people of France
generally received at his hands.

came an adept workman and not only
made money, but saved it-that is to
say, he saved it until he found an op-
portunity to invest it in some mining
scheme. If he had one weakness, it was
his craze for this form Of speculation.
at first he was an easy prey for the
sharks who follow in the wake of the
golden ship, and on one occasion he paid
5000 that he had earned with the saw
and jack plane for one-fifth interest in
hole in the ground he had never seen.
As the years passed, however, he cut
his wisdom teeth so far as mining was
concerned. He took a special course in
assaying and mineralogy and became an
adept prospector. He would work at his
trade until he had little money, and
then he would go into the mining bust
ness again. He was among the first at
Cripple Creek and was about to leave
the camp in disgust when he angrily
kicked a jutting rock and discovered
that it contained gold. He promptly
staked out a claim and developed it into
the rich Lone Star mine. He later Sc
cured the Independence mine, which in
a single year paid him $675, GOO. Many
experts il Colorado declare that he owns
the richest gold mines in the world.
Notwithstanding his immense wealth
Stratton lives in a common frame shanty
and saves his money.

COL. VEALE'S AMBITION.
He Would Like to Be Senator from
Shawnee
In PLACE OF SENATOR STERNE.
If He Runs 1t Will BE as an Anti
Ingalls, Candidate.

If He Runs 1t VIII Be as an Anti
Ingalls, Candidate.
The managers of the J. r. Burton
United States senatorial boom have been
having lots of trouble with their several
candidates for the legislature in Shawnee
county. The trouble has not been with
the candidates themselves, but that the
opposition has been puncturing all the
little booms started in the interest of the
would be candidates.
The latest announced candidacy or
rather unannounced candidacy is that of
Col George w. Veale for the state senate
to succeed Senator W. E. Sterne.
Since the Capital has passed into the
hands of the Aiulvanes and Dave Null
vane, the local Burton manager, is direct
ing the political policy of that paper, it
has been deemed advisable by them to
find another candidate for the state SEN
ate in this county.
Colonel Veale has Of course announced
himself for Judge A. II. Horton for SEN
ator. but that does not matter, he is not
for Ingalls, and is just as satisfactory
candidate to the Burton managers as
though he was an out and out Burton
man as he was when he was elected to
the last legislature, or at the last senator
ial election.
Colonel Veale has up to this time been
considered a candidate for reelection to
his old seat in the legislature from the
city district, but he is ambitious and
while he does not altogether like the
idea of making the race for the senate
against Senator Sterne he wants to go
to the senate if he can, and it is altogeth-
er likely that he will be the aHti-IngalIs
