NEW USE FOR BANK NOTES.
Edison Said to Be Buying Up Old Con-
federate BilIk


federate Bills.
1t is pretty generally known that before
Edison could find the material suitable for
the filament of the incandescent lamp he
had to ransack nearly every country in
the hope of meeting with the kind of bam-
boo which he had decided was what he
wanted.
He tested over 400 kinds of BAN boo, and
finally came across the species for his pur-
pose in the interior of Japan. From there
he has since drawn his supplies regularly.
a story is now going the rounds which, if
1t is as true as 1T is interesting, will ex-
plain where the greater part of the Con-
federate paper money with which this
country was flooded some years ago goes,
and shows that Japan is not the only
source of filament material
An old man of Atlanta is said to make a
business of quietly gathering in all the
Confederate bank notes he can put his
hands on. This paper was issued by the
ton during the war, and great deal of it
is still floating around. The story goes
that when the old man gets big bundle
of the paper be sends it to Edison, who
pays good price for it.
Edison uses it to make carbon for his IN
candescent lamps. 1t seems strange that
this substance has been hit upon for the
purpose until it is explained that the
paper on which these notes were en-
graved was made OF the pulp OF sea grass.
This branch of the paper-making industry
has become dead art.
Sea grass paper, when chemically
treated by Edison, has been found to make
the best sort of caroon for incandescent
lamps, and so there is always a demand
for the Confederate biIls.-Pittsburg Dis
patch.

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.
Many People Could Become Rich If
They Only Knew How.


Statistics show that 50 per cent of all persons
engaged in business IN the United States fall
In other words, only 5 per cent of all our
business men. are fortunate enough to make q
competency and keep IT.
Do you know what is the cause of this?
Wise men who have investigated the matter
tell us that the men who succeed are men OF
brains, with strong nerves and great will
power. The men who fail are the weak, irri-
table, dyspeptic persons.
: Is there any way in which such people can
improve their health? Yes, undoubtedly there
is. Many people have fortunately discovered
that 1T IS quite possible and some of them are
giving Others the benefit of their experience.
Mr.. Selden Fish, prominent Chicago attor-
ney, recently said: 81 was completely broken

Mr.. E. c. Ayilla of the Association for I'M

1t should be remembered that ordinary food
and drink cannot supply the great vital force
which people with active bralns and bodies
require. This great, stimulating principle,
however, is contained in Dufys pure malt,
and that is why every person who takes it
receives such wonderful Benefit. There is
nothing like it for building up the health and

notice for me in justice to our Society OF
Christian Endeavor?
1t is true that there are certain
few, whose grievances | do not know, who
oppose our pastor, but we the majority do
not care to be classed among those, who in
Delng so openly in opposition know not the
harm they are doing.
If you could see how the best people in the
First Congregational Church crowd around
the beloved pastor, and with what JOY his
presence is received by the best people OF his
dock (and those not of his flock) you would
wonder how any one with the least sense OF
honor or justice could send or give, or cause
to be given, any misleading notices.
The Christian Endeavor Society met and our
beloved pastor addressed US, and there was no
division in the society.
We, are only. waiting little to see our be-
loved pastor cleared from the slanderous re-
ports. We all, that is the greater portion OF
the Christian Endeavor Society, stand with
him, for we know right is might and he IS sure
to come out unsullied. Sincerely yours,
A. E. DooLEY SANK.
As the above communication openly and
directly conveys the impression that the
statements published to the effect that
there was division of opinion among the
members of the Young Peoples Christian
Endeayor Society about the Rev. c. 0.
Brown were without foundation, If not
absolutely false, the matter was laid be-
fore Secretary J. f. Mason, accompanied
by a request for his official and individual
opinion.
He smiled when the contents OF the letter
were made known to him. He tapped his
forehead significantly.
''Of course" he began, "you must re-
ceive many communications of that kind.
AS to there being no division OF ofsentlment,
why it is all nonsense. A large majority
OF the members of the society were op-
posed to DR.. Brown occupying the pulpit
until the cloud of suspicion has been
lifted.
''That, think, was clearly shown by the
fact that when the doctor made known his
intention not to occupy the pulpit those
who had temporarily Withdrawn from the
society came back at once.
CAS- to such enthusiastic members as
Mrs. a. E. Dooley Szanik all that can be
said might better be left unsaid. While
there was no direct declaration made
referrible to the guilt or innocence of the
pastor the members were very outspoken
concerning the propriety of his occupying
his pulpit until the charges have been
thoroughly Investigated. l cannot say
that the division OF sentiment has any
thing to do with the belief of the mem bers
in DR.. Browns innocence or guilt; can
only speak for myself.
Eyes, | have an opinion, but you must
know how one feels about expressing ones
based ON the evidence so far brought
within my own knowledge. However, /
am like all the other members of the So
ciety; my Judgment is held in suspen-
sion. But as to the propriety of DIR.

after his case has been thoroughly investi-

Mohawk, April IT, 1896.

Mohawk, April F, 1896. I have taken the liberty to send $ piece of quartz rock to you with a re- quest that you take it to an assayer and get it assayed. will pay for the assaying.
 Being quite anxious to know some thing about this rock as soon as pos sible, l have cUmmitted it to your care. Let me have return soon. New developments have been made in the mountains north from here. Many old time prospectors, including G. w. Norton, have taken blankets. pick, shovel and beans, in haste to make locations and secure prospective millions. Alas! how illusive - the dreams of an old prospector.
 However, some very rich prospects of gold, silver and copper have been uncovered. I know this to be true and will write full particulars when the boys get their claims monument ed. My name is in the "swim," too.

 the Castle Dome mineral county. He informs us that the miners at a meet | ing held on the 18th instant in the mountains rorth of Mohawk and the scene of rich gold discoveries which are just now creating great deal of excitment hereabouts, named lit the Mofett Mining District. The rich gold finds are situated in the southwest end of the Castle Dome noun tains, about 20 miles due north of Tacna, station on the Southern Pacific railroad.
 We are unable at present to give authentic facts regarding the new dis coveries, but from all information ob- tainable it is the richest find on the surface that has ever been found in this county. We will keep our readers posted as to facts as fast as obtainable.

The Head of the Catholic Church in
 Arizona Visits Yuma.

Right Rev. Bishop Bourgade of the Arizona diocese returned to his home in the city of Tucson, Tuesday even- ing after a visit here of several days Last Sunday he delivered sermon in Spanish and English at the church of the Immaculate Conception to large congregation.
 During his short stay here the Bishop administered confirmation to a large number of children and grown people.
 The Ft. Yuma Indian school, Terri torial prison and the Yuma Heights ranch were visited by him. The former institutions the Bishop spoke of in the most praiseworthy manner. He was more than surprised in beholding so beautiful ranch on the mesa and thought it one of he most beautiful places he has seen in the Territory: He was exceedingly we'll pleased with Yuma in general and expressed the opinion that when Yuma pos sessed another railroad and the mon- ster canal of the Southwest Improve ment Company were built, Yuma would surely be the metropolis of the southwest.
 Bishop Bourgade has filled Holy orders for the last 40 years. Ten years ago he was consecrated Bishop.
 He visited Yuma for the first time in 1873 and labored here for three years when declining health compelled him to change climate, and he made a trip to France and later returned to New Mexico. He is now actively en- gagged experimenting the erection of a handsome cathedral in the city of Tucson, which will cost $25,OO0 when completed.
 Through the kindness of Rev. Father Gheldof, the writer, had the honor of being presented and dining with Rev. Bishop Bourgade, Rev. Father Fitzgerald of Red lands and Rev. Father Snider of the Ft. Yuma Indian School.
 Rev. Father Fitzgerald has been spending a couple of weeks here on a recuperating trip as the guest of Rev. Father Snider. He is said to be an eloquent speaker and an indomita- ble worker in his religion. On his ar rival he had intended to deliver 8 lecture on Catholicism before returning home to Redlands, but owing to a sudden call to his parish was unable to do so. He left Tuesday morning for Redlands.

Poor Indeed!

There are degrees and kinds of poverty, just as there are differences of opinion among those who compute and measure poverty and riches by different standards. Some men deem themselves poor because they are less rich than others, again there are con- paratively poor people who are satis- fled with competence. The is kind of poverty for which no amount of wealth can compensate, namely, a poverty of bodily stamina, evinced by nervousness and derangement of the functions of digestion, bilious secretion and the bowels. To restore vigor up on permanet basis there is one re- medy that fully covers the require ments, fills the bill," and this is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. By re- storing digestion, giving healthful impulse to the action of the bowels and liver and tranquilllzing the nerves, it fullfills the condition necessary to a resumption of strength by the system. It also overcomes malaria and rheuma- tism.
