A SMALL SURPLUS BLOWN IN
To Produce Gorgeous Spectacle at New
York
A Marine Political Demonstration
Which Is Very Comforting to Men
In Search Of Work

NEW YORK Oct. 24.-Probably the
most gorgeous marine spectacle, as
we'll as the most imposing political DEM
onstration that has ever been witnessed
in the United States, was the parade of
vessels in New York harbor tonight un-
der the auspices of the Shipping and In
dustrial Sound Money Association of
the Port of New York. The parade was
demonstration on the part of the bus
mess men and others who favor the gold
standard, and many weeks has been
devoted to the preparation for the event.
Nearly 300 vessels including every de-
scription of river craft, made up the IL
Illuminated and decorated fiotilla, which
extended for nearly seven miles along
the Hudson river and into the waters
of the bay. Many Of the boats were
equipped with calcium and flash lights.
From piers along the river front on
both sides of the Hudson and from floats
anchored at various points on the route
fireworks were exploded. These dis
plays included aerialmottoes of fire, such
as Honest Money" peace and Plen-
ty," "The Starry Cloud" "Old Glory"
The latter was an immense representa-
tion of the American flag, 500 feet by $50.
The most imposing display was at the
Battery, where piece entitled"The Nc
Kinley Bouquet" was produced stimuli
taneously by the discharge of three
thousand colored rockets.
On board the vessels were many polit-
ical organizations. The propeller Au-
rora was the reviewing boat. Soon after
5 o'clock the Aurora, with Gen. E. c.
O'Brien and the reception committee
on board, left for Jersey City, where she
took on board Vice Presidential Can
didate Hobart and his party. The shores
ON both sides of the pageant were black
with pepole.

More Mint Sensation.

A letter to the Times from a friend
IN a Francisco, states that Buck
mas left with him some papers that
would tel | more about mint affairs
'han the outside world ever dreamed
OF, n the failing of Heney and
Jones was but the catching of the
small fish in the dirty puddle
During Buckingham's time as night
Waterman he was ia d position to
know quite a bit Of the workings of
the gang after dark. It is rum0red
that the reason he left anything be-
mind to tell tales is because those who
were implicated in the stealings
failed to keep the promises they made
him If he would keep his mouth shut
during the Hehey and Jones trials
Lyon County Times.
1t begins to look as if the pubIic
may not be entirely through with the
Mint cases if the above is true IT
was a matter Of general talk during
the trials in Carson that Buckinpham
should have been made a witness in
the case as he could tell a great deal.
but the nature of his testimony was
never revealed to the public.

Arson Case.

The examination Of Thomas Hilder-

ued before Judge Hawthorne yester-
day morning.
The defense re-opened their case
and attempted to prove an alahi by in
Producing witnesses to prove that Hill
derbrandt. was at home on the evening
Of Nov. |.
Miss Annie Andaiate was the frs.
witness examined. She said she was
present In tie house and that a young
er child in the Hilderbrandt family
was i'll with Group, that the father
was in the room caring for the child
the witness did not know this of her
W kDownedge but said that one of
the Hilderbrandt girls said that their
father was in there. Beside herself
and sister there were in the house
lump Mara and Frank Gill who were
visiting and playing cards.
The two Hilderbrandt girls said
that their father was in the room and
that he did not leave the house, the
elder said that she spent part of her
time in another room playing cards
with Mara and Gill but that when
b was not in the room with her
father and sister, her younger sister
was there. The sister CORRIDOR 4ted
this.
Judge Hawthorne told H~ilderbrandt
that the testimony proved conclusively
hat he had received from Frisbie a
mineral water bottle and had it filled
with coal oil at Gillsons a beer bottle:
that il he could explain how the beer
and mineral water bottles, O ne found
in his house the other at the school
house, corked with the same shoppers
that ellison said he had placed in the
beer bottle, happe ned there be would
grant a dismissal.
"That is a poser" answered Hilder-
brandt. This was all the explanation
he offered.
Case continued until 10 o'clock to-
day.

GENTLEMEN When | wrote YOU
the latter part of December, my
mother was, according to the honest
belief CT three physicians, on her
deathbed: she could not retain either
food or medicine on her stomach, and
it did not seem reasonable to think
there was anything but death to re-
ieve her. The doctors informed US
she had 4 cancer in the lower bowel
and there was no cure for her. She
showed such vitality for a person to
be so near death we thought there
must be something to help her, and
reading of others being saved by the
use Of your S. 5. S., we thought it
would do no harm, if not some good,
to try it, so we informed her of her
condition, just as the doctors had in
formed us, and left it with her to try
your remedy or not, as she saw fit.
She concluded to try it and from the
first dose or two, she began to brighten
up, and improve; she can now get up,
dress and help herself, and can eat
everything or anything she wants and
no distress from it. We all feel quite
hopeful that the cancer will pass away
in due time by the use of your S. S. s.,
which she will now gladly take. You
may make this letter as public as you
choose, and the more so the better, as
too much praise can not be given your
valuable remedy.
Yours truly,
