TWO NEW RICIiMONDS.
Larner and Wiliett Named for Ma
tiunal C0mmit tcemen.

The fact exclusively announced in ycstcr-
days Times. that the District delegates 10
the Chicago national convention would
not select a national committeeman before
reaching the Windy City. created ConSid-
cradle talk among local politicians. but the
Judgment OF the delegates that there should
be no precipttatc action, was generally ap-
plauded
IT is hardly probable that any two dele
gates are pledged TO the cTndidacy of any
man. There is q general understanding
that no action shoud he taken before the
assembling of the convention. When the
six delegates reach CbiCa go there Will
doubtless be an interesting contest for the
big prize.
Two new names were last night added
10 the list of candidates: They are Noble
D. Larner ana Postmaster James z. Willett.
Both are popular among District Democrats
and there is every reason TO believe that
they will cut quite swath when the vote
is taken.

EXterminatton.

A letter from the Secretary of the In

tans report by Capt. George y. AnGer-
sou, acting supeFint endent of the Yellow
stone National Park, she wing that poaCll-
ing is carried on in that reservation TO
some extent.
He says it viii be impossible to thor
oughly prevent il, as the most OF it is
done near the borders, by persons VINO
live without the park, and operate near the
line. Elk deer. antelope, and some other
game is so plentiful that the damage is
very slight.
The case is different, however, with the
buffalo, and the herd is, he says, in danger
of eXterminatiOn. Secretary Smith says
existing law is sufficient, but it cannot
be regularly enforced, owing to the small
police force at the disposal Of the depart

Cases.


For several days past the police OF the
Fourth precinct in South Washington, have
been quietly looking into certain gambling
houses in that section of the city. These

poker pla wing, hut in some OF them il is
said roulette and hazard have had IA place.
Action by the police may he FASTENED by
an occurrence at the police headquarters
yesterday. 4 man, who gave his name as
A. b. Lawson, OF Virginia. called upon
Inspector H0llinberger and gave him i'm
pOrtant information concerning a gambling
house on I CUr-and-a-half street, between
NJ and \ streets southwest.
Lawson said he had been fIeeCcd at the
place in question, and desired to have ii
raided by the police.
The matter was finally referred to the

1t is more than probable that several
raids may be made on poker rooms in the
near future.

pose, and if it had so refused / am wholly
unable to see how it could be considered

discrimination against gold? If not it
OF course follows that u refusal to pay
out silver for gold is not discrimination

are advised that it amounts to the sum of
$6,662,000 up TO the 18th day of this

off claims. commencing at the very
edges of the first claim, and in "a hours
the district for several miles in each di-
rection resembles patchwork quilt.
It is staked off like boom land town,
only on smaller scale. A vein of
ore, in the original claim, gives it a
value of 100000 or more, according to
its richness, width and thickness. Tho
ether claims are valued in proportion
to their relative distance from the
original mine; though the vein may
stop short and not enter even the adja-
cent prospect. So all is speculation,
except as to the first mine, which is
styled producer" The others are
called prospects," and some of them
are very remote. Prospects" are cap
italiZcd, usually, at $l,O0O,000, the
shares having a par value of ST.,
or supposed to have. Strangely, they
are sold at a few cents each. This is
done SO that the "prospectors" can
realize development fund" Thou
sands of dollars worth of stock is sold,
and the promoters do not yet know
whether there is enough gold in the
prospect to pay for the printing of
the highly-colored certificates. Often
there is not, and the shareholders
suffer.
With this capital, shaft is sunk
(about three feet square,, and if good
Gre is not found IN 81 or 100 feet, the
prospect is abandoned, and there is a
howl-from the shareholders Ashaft is
sunk on each of the several hundred
prospects, each hoping to strike the
continuation of the rich vein or forma-
ton extending from the original mine,
and over these shafts ore shaft houses.
This, several hundred men are EN-
pIoyed, and saloons, dance houses, gam
ing houses, and, of course, a newspaper,
naturally follow. A few of these
mines become producers, yielding ST.
600 or more a month, but the great
majority remain prospects" and are
soon abandoned. This working OF
by the sale of shares is re.
sorted to by those who think they
have good thing and want to dig into
it-at the expense of others-seIling
only enough of the stock TO pay for the
work. There are others who prefer
t, sell out. on blind guess, and take
the chance of missing good thing, OF
bad one
The mam who has money does not
prospect, and when he does find mine.
or locate prospect, he must make j
sacrifice to the capitalist. or invite the
muses. to join him in the specuIa ton.

her heart was full of love for her
mother.
Richard Roe became greatly interest
ed in his friend, John Doe. He man
aged to meet him at luncheon every
day. He walked to Does office with
him, spoke to Miss Russell, of course,
and finally entered into conversation

short time he secured her consent to

mother" On the third Sunday evening
he accompanied Mrs. Russell and Miss
Russell to church. On the following
Tuesday they went to the opera with
him. On the following Thursday after
noon he called on Mrs. Russell and in
formed her that he was hopelessiy in
love with her daughter. and obtained
her consent To lay the case before Miss
Russell herself. On the following Sun
day afternoon, while out driving. he
told her his story of passion and love
in an eloquent manner. What do you

laid her hand upon his and sweetly
said:

that you were pleased with me, and I

Thus it happened that John Doe lost
