WITH DYNAMITE STICKS.
Chinese Threaten the Mission
for Rescued Slave
Girls.
EXPLOSIVES AT THE DOOR.
Grating in the Base
ment.

Five sticks of dynamite were found con-
cealed in different places about the Chinese
Mission, at the corner of Sacramento street
and Prospect place, yesterday morning.
The first sticks were found by John Conley,
paper-carrler, at the doorstep as he was
delivering the morning papers.
One was on the stoop. Another was upon
the sill. Both were wrapped in yellow
paper and were marked Hercules No. q"
The lad picked up one stick and made a
pretense of throwing it at Frank Coali, a
lad who was accompanying him on his
rounds. Young Coall cried for him to stop,
as it might be dynamite. 1t was well Con-
ley obeyed, as the conclusion, had the
stick of dynamite been tossed any distance,
would have been sufficient to have caused
an explosion with terrible results.
The boys took the dynamite with them
and found a third stick put in the iron
grating of the kitchen window. They took
this also. The three sticks were taken to
young Conley's father who is police
officer
The officer at once notified Miss gilbert
son, the matron of the home. The Chief
of Police was also notified and an investi-
CATION is being made.

Vi Inc premises. AS result SQ0 IOQDQ TWO
more sticks of the explosive. They had
been placed in the easement of the win
dows just below the level Of the cement
pavement on Prospect place.
Miss Culbertson says that none of the
sticks had fuses attached. 1t was impossi-
BILE for any of them to have received blows
of sufficient force to cause an. explosion.
She thinks, therefore, that they were
placed there as threats by some of the
highbinders whose women she has taken
away.
She has had no trouble for some time.
About a month ago she received letter in
which she was threatened with death if she
did not leave the slave girls alone. This
often been threatened before, and scouts
the idea of there being anything more than
bombast in the last discovery.

PIPER is UNDER ARREST,
He Is Charged With Stealing
From the Carson City
Mint.
Cold and Silver Said to Have Been
Removed in Tin Lunch
Bucket.

Henry Piper was arrested last night by
n. R. Harris, the United States Secret Ser
vice agent, on charge of stealing gold and
silver from the Carson City mint. The
warrant says it was taken from E. B. Ia
briskie, the melter and refner, and places
the value of the amount purloined at 500.
1t is claimed, however, that he is held re-
sponsible for the loss of several thousand
dollars worth of bullion.
Piper was employed in the smelling and
refining department of the mint. He took
his lunch in tin bucket. The stories told
at the time of his discharge, nearly two
wears ago, were to the effect that he car
ried large quantities of granulated gold
out with him in his tin bucket when he
went home.
His discharge came through an accusa-
ton to this effect by one of the watchmen
employed in the Mint. This mans bust
ness was to see that none of the precious
metal was carried away by the employees.
By merest chance he one day lifted up
Piper's lunch-bucket. 1t weighed several
pounds more than it should. The watch
man went to headquarters to report his
discovery. When he returned a few
minutes later the bucket was empty Piper
denied the charge of stealing, but was dis
charged.
Since that time he has been living in
Berkeley No attempt to follow up the
case has been made until the recent sensa-
tional disclosures proved the rottenness of
the mint management. Since then Piper S
actions have been traced, and his arrest
has followed

London, viz: That turacin, a crimson pig
ment extracted from the feather OF q
South African bird, yields from to per

Republic. The bird whose feathers yield
the metallic coloring matter is the turacon,
a South African plantain- eating avis, of
which there are about twenty-five dis
tinct species. The pigment is extracted
from this curious creatures feathers by
using any of the common dilute alkaline
liquids. 1t produces a beautiful crimson
solution, which, the chemists say, has a
well-detined absorption spectrum. The
only other animal solution which is known
to contain copper in solution is h@moc-
yanin, which is obtained from the globin
of blood. The copper in the feathers of a
single turacon amounts to about one-fifth
of a grain.

MANAGERS DIFFICULTIES.
The TiVOli and Baldwin Have
a Slight Unpleasant
ness.
Theatrical People Clash in Regard
to the Issuing of
Passes.

There is music in the air. The Reginald
de Koven harmonies from the Fencing
master" are clashing with the Robinson
Crusoe" carols which nightly entertain the
Tivoli audiences. And the reason is this:
Theatrical-managers are always ready to
exchange courtesies with one another in
the matter of passes, but there is certain
unwritten law which states that on a big
night, when there are prospects of every
thing in the house being sold, no paper
shall be issued.
Night before last Manager John T. Har-
ley of the Whitney Opera Company went
over to the Tivoli, and, introducing him
self to Manager Charles Krause, who was
in the box-otfice, saidc
''May have box for this EVENING".
Certainly, if you pay for it, answered
Krause, explaining that the house was
almost sold out.
Harley wore a troubled expression as he
produced So, but said nothing. He es-
corted his wife and friends into the cho sen
part of the auditorium and then went over
to the Baldwin.
1t made him feel badly. as he said last
night, to have to pay when he had ex-
tended the freedom OF his performances to
the members of the TivoH company so he
wrote a note to Mrs. Kreling, proprietor of
the opera-house, asking her what explana-
ton there was to offer.
In the meantime Mr.. Krause closed up
his box office, thought he would like TO
have look at Dorothy Morton and
strolled over to the Baldwin. Ticket
selling had ceased, it being past 10, and
the doorkeeper cheerfully passed him in.
After being seated Harley spied him and
calmly asked him whether he had paid his
admission. Krause answered in the mega
tive, but stated that he was most willing
to pay the admission fee. Harley says
that he "had his Irish up" so told him
that he wouldn't allow him in the house
under any circumstances, and consequent
ly Mr.. Krause went out.
Harley says that he assisted him in his
exit by grasping him around the neck and
gently propelling him from the rear, but
the Tivoli manager says that being insulted
he went without word of remonstrance.
He also strongly denies that any forcible
means were employed in his departure.
The management proper of the Baldwin
disclaim any participation in the squabble
and the same friendly relations that have
always existed will still maintain between
the two places of amusement. But Mr..
Krause and Mr.. Harley are not particularly
socially inclined toward one another.
