go to the trouble and expense OF a long
and tedious Journey to Saratoga Springs
N. Y. We have now, III this city the best
mineral water that Saratoga ever pro-
duced. At considerable expense Mart
Hirzel, Of this city, has perfected arrange

Of Saratoga, so that by very Ingenious
and interesting process he sells on
draught the genuine Excelsior Water
fresh from the Spring at Saratoga, in its
natural condition, precisely as it flows
from the Spring, without charging it
with gas, and at the very moderate
charge Of cents per glass. Tt is a fact
not generally known to the public, that
most of the mineral water sold from
soda fountains is not genuine, But is
a more CT less harmful artificial com
pound, but the firm mentioned above
believes that tits better to sell the gen

Some OF our bicycle riders have an
idea that the coming in Of a new town
board makes the bicycle ordinance,
which was passed and adopted last
summer. OF no force. This is a mistake
The ordinance, prohibiting the riding Of
bicycles on certain streets in the village,
is still in force and will be enforced by
the new board. Tt would be well for
some Of our wheelmen toget a copy OF
the ordinance and paste it IN their hat.

The Scottish-American Lady Quar-
tette gave their concert at Opera hall,
last Wednesday evening, as advertised.
The hall was we'll filled and majority
Of the audience appreciated the singing,
as it was far ahead Of anything ever
heard in this city. OF course it is q hard
matter for any company to please one
and all. Those Of our people who dldn' t
like the entertainment do not appreciate
nor care for music. Thecrowd Of young
sters congregated in the rear Of the hall,
made their usual amount of disguting
noise by yelling and whistling, and keep
ing the audience and actors in a
nervous perturbation. It would be a
boon to great many OF our show-going
citizens if the management of the Opera
House would refuse some OF these boys
admitance. BY making them pay full
price for admitance it would, at least,
have tendancy to keep the most o.
them away. The actions Of some Of
them, at all public doings, goes good
ways toward showing slack bringing up.

RICH GOLD STRIKE.

Lodge of Quartz of Remarkable Value
 Discovered In California.
 Reports have been coming in for some time of the discovery of promising gold quartz in the desert region in the south eastern part of Kern county, Cal, east of the placers at Goler, which caused the rush two years ago and which still continue to yield we'll The most recent discoveries are quartz lodges which promise permanency.
 The center of these discoveries is at Camp Randsburg, 60 miles east of Mo have Two brothers named Ashford came in today for supplies and report the dis covery last week by themselves of an immense ledge of quartz of marvellous richness. It is about mile from Camp Randsburg, and as far as traced is ex- posed 3, 800 feet and is 3 feet in thick ness Next to the hanging wall there is six inches of rock that will average $5, 900 to the ton, and which seems dis tinot layer by itself. The rest of the vein is IS inches in width and will run $50 to the ton. From the six inch streak specimens have been taken out that will run S16, 900 to the ton, while one can stand distance of ten yards from the ledge and actually see free gold.
 As soon as the news became known big rush of miners set in, and for sev- eral miles in every direction the country has been located. Experts have examined the mines aud pronounce them very rich. It is 18 miles to water, but we'll will be bored at once, and machinery is al, ready being contracted for to work the ore. Actual working in the ore has yielded s180 in free gold to the men, St. Lonis Globe Democrat.

Now Take your Choice.

There is the best of authority for making the report that Mir Cleveland will under no circumstances or emer- gencies accept fourth nomination for the presidency. ' But he also feels that if the Republicans should adopt an unsatisfactory platform and the Dem ocracy, as is quite likely, ahould split at Chicago upon the silver issue, then if the business interests Of the United States should see ft-repudiating either party-to unite in the nomination of a candidate who represented gold mono metallism and the early cancellation of the greenbacks and should name him as their candidate. he would feel free to accept Holland in Philadelphia Press.

THE RAlNES LAW.
How Eli Perkins Thinks It VIII Alice
 Politics.

How Eli Perkins Thinks It VIII Affect
 Politics.
 The whole country is talking about the Raines law in New York state There is not Democratic saloon keeper i'll the state of New York who does not say and believe that this law will ruin the Republican party and that Govern or Morton will go down with the crash.
 Now, let us look into this matter phil osophically. What temperance or excise law have we now In New York?
 The law for years has been that all saloons in large cities shall close oa Sunday, but this law has not been car ried out except in New York city un- der Republican rule. The license for selling whisky in large cities has been $200 and $50 for beer. This license has been raised under the Raines law to $500 in New York, $500 ill Buffalo, $400 i'll Syracuse. The beer license has been raised to over $225 in New York.
 Now, what change can the Raines law make in the politics of the state?
 It will not make much of a change. uhys IDCSuuoC Oo k5tA CCDt LII Dl40 HflIOUA and bar keepers in the state are Dem- oorats now. Many of the city saloon keepers are in favor of a higher license They say it will close up 4,000 low dives and give them better chance.
 The Raines law stops the expensive free lunches. The best saloons are in favor of that. The expensive free lunch in Now York has been a burden to the saloon keeper, It has cost many of them from $15 to $25 day to feed tramps They are glad of the discontinuance of the expensive custom.
 And the bartendersr
 The bartenders are glad the Raines law closes the saloons on Sunday. It gives them day of rest. Many of them will talk against the law, but go and put in silent vote to keep it on the statutes. Eli Perkins in Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

 A striking instance of protracted and costly litigation over life insurance claims is furnished in the Hillman case i'll Kansas, which has just reached the end of the fifth trial, which resulted in disagreement of the jury Some time in the seventies one John w. Hillman, a man by no means rich in worldly gear, took out three policies in three eastern companies aggregating $25, 000, all payable to his wife should she survive him. He selected strong and reliable companies, with record for prompt payment of losses and disinclination to litigation.
 Before the second premium fell due on either of the policies Hfllman disap- peared, and almost simultaneously with an adjacent county which Mrs Hillman identified as her husbands. A man named Brown, who was intimately &C., quainted with Hillman, said at first that it was Hiiiman's body, but subse- quently retracted and swore that it was not. The coroner. however, decided that the corpse under his inquisibion was that of the missing Hihman.
 The insurance companies decided that there were good grounds for contest, and the matter has been in the courts or rather in the court of original juris- diction--since 1679 In four of the five trials the jury WAS divided. In one trial the jury agreed, giving a verdict in favor of the alleged widow, but the judge set the verdict aside. The costs have already amounted to $60, 900 and promise to continue piling up indefinite ly, for the companies will not surrender, and the plaintiffs lawyers have too heavy stake i'll the case to abandon it while hope remains.
 The theory of the defense is that Hill man and his wife oonoocted scheme to defraud the companies by palming off bogus Hillman corpse. But more than 17 years have elapsed since the coroner held that inquest and certified to the death of Hillman, and he is still miss ing. It is true the world is large, but it is seldom that man succeeds in hiding himself for long time when rich cor porations offer rewards for the discovery of his whereabouts and set detectives to searching for him.
 Such a case as this would be impossi- ble under the laws of the latest addition to the family of states The constitution of Utah provides that majority vote of jurors shall determine civil causes This plan will certainly reduce the costs of litigation, but it is an open question whether or not it will promote justice -Washin0ton Post.

NORDlCA ON A WHEEL.
The Queen of Song Very Enthusiastic Over
 Bicycling Just Now.

Those who have listened to Nordica, Meiba, Calve and Scalchi and the two De Reszkes in Grand Music hall should see them on bicycles When they sing, they seem as of another and better world. On their wheels they are right down on the earth, sometimes too much so.
 Every member of the Metropolitan Opera company is the proud and happy possessor of a first class bicycle.
 Mime Melba hasn't caught the craze as have, l" explained Mime. Nordica to a reporter. II think there is nothing like a bicycle for enjoyment "
 Mime Nordica was bowling along like an expert when she said this.
 Quite hill was encountered just at this point, and the prima donna did not say any more until it had been sur mounted.
 At Sylvan Lake Mir. Reynolds, Mime. Nordica and Miss Walker, Mime. Nor dica' s sister, tarried awhile for the rest of the party
 During the wait Miss Walker was kIRbn u 4CHED4ls th1u 1tAElAo 1NO1A4Cu Oib- coursed further about the bicycle She rides drop frame machine and was att tired in fetching suit Of brown, with rather short skirt, Eton jacket. blue shirt waist and white collar, and wore & red turban, with black ostrich plumes.
 1T prefer the drop frame and this cos tune to the diamond frame and the oos- tune you have to wear with that be- cause I think them the more graceful, explained Mime. Nordioa.
 Just then Miss Walker stepped from the carriage and expressed desire to try spin.
 What kind of an underskirt have you got on?'' inquired Mime. Nordica.
 "A black one, " replied her sister.
 Well, take off your overskirt, then, or you'll get tangled up" directed Mime Nordica, and Miss Walker retired into the carriage and did as directed.
 Meanwhile Mime. Nordica's fine French poodle, Turk. was jumping and barking about her and kept it up until she threw a stone with marvellous grace and precision for him to fetch.
 lies Just the best dog ever saw, - remarked Turks mistress
 Then Mime. Nordica mounted her wheel and spun along toward the cot tage, Turk racing along close to her side.
 II first tried to ride just ten days ago, said Mime. Nordica.
 We got to talking some time ago about the spring and the need of exer- else and about bicycles. Then I went through bicycle factory. and of course caught the craze. The foreigners in our company-you know am from Maine don't take to it like the rest. Those from the Latin countries especially seem averse to it. suppose maybe it's be- cause they like rest.

An Unlocked For Result.

One result of the Raines liquor law in New York is to largely curtail the consumption of cheese, which constituted one of the features of the free lunch counters in the saloons Probably the farmers didn't take this into account. They are quite likely to be heard from. now that they have been brought to . fealization of the fact that one of their chief markets for this important staple has been out off.-Boston Herald.
