His Funny $3.50 Cable Message.

In the course of a lecture delivered
in Omaha, Neb., recently Edward
Rosewater, editor of the Bee, said:
SIN August, 1866, I was manager of
the Omaha Office of the Pacific Tele.
graph Company, and on the day after
it wes announced that the Atlantic
cable had been completed, my atten-
tion was directed to o message that
was being repeated from Denver. The
message was:
"Denver. COL, August 8, 1s66.-To Louis
Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor, Tuilleries,
Paris, France: Please leave Bohemia alone.
No interference will be tolerated by this Ter.
ntory. JOHN G1LP1N, Governor.
81 remarked at the time that it was
evident there were people out in Colo.
RADIO who had more money than brains,
but when was asked what should be
done with the message, gave instruc.
tions to send it to New York direct. At
that time there was no telegrsphic
communication between New York and
tho American terminus OF the cable at
st. Johns, and the message had to be
sent from New York to st. Johns by
steamer. Soon after I received bill
from the New York Office against Den.
yer for S134 in gold, which represented
the expense of sending the telegram at
that time. I sent the bill on to Den
yer, but the Denver people did not
seem to take much notice of it, and
they finally said that they did not un.
derstand what it all meant. / assured
them that they would have to pay that
amount for that message, unless they
recalled it before the steamer sailed,
but they failed to do so. I never heard
what the Emperor said when he re-
ceived the cablegram, but I know that
eventually the claim for $3.50, which
was what $134 in gold was worth at
that time, was pressed against the
Denver Office and they had to pay it.
"More recently met Governor Gill
pin and ventured to inquire if he re.
membered the telegram. But for some
reason he did not seem to consider the
allusion at all funny, and refrained
from discussing the subject. New

Mining Tunnels Under a City.

There is considerable excitement at
Butte, Montana, over the discovery
that work has been begun on an oft
proposed and largely opposed project
for driving mining tunnels in all d.
rections under the city in order to take
out the rich copper and silver ores
known to exist there. 1t is said that
tho richest copper and silver ores
in the Rocky Mountain country lie un-
der the city. The principal vein dis:
covered, known as the Smokehouse
lode, runs under the heart OF the city
from southeast to northwest, and over
it are the City Hall, the County Court
House, q big hotel, and several OF the
largest Office buildings in the city. The
purchasers Of surveyed land in Butte
have no title to the mineral under
meath, the surface title only extending
to depth of thirty feet. When the
vein under the city was first discov'
cred, wealthy mining man OF Butte
located almost the whole city as min
ing claims and fought his case in the
courts to a successful conclusion!
Now be has formed company, and
already a shaft is being sunk near the
heart of the city. from which tunnels
will be driven in every direction. Res
idents of Butte are greatly concerned
about the probable effect OF the min
ing operations on the big bulldlngs
situated over the proposed workings;

Nhy He Was Affected.

A tough looking individual recently
on trial in this city was defended by
one of the most noted criminal law
ysrs of the metropolis. The lawyer,
in voice husky with emotion, plead
ed with the jury that his client was a
poor man driven by hunger to take a
small sum of money. All he wanted,
said the lawyer, was enough money to
buy bread, proof of which lay in the
fact that he did not take pocketbook
containing $500 that lay in the same
bureau drawer. At this point the elo.

Turkish Theory of Practice.

A Turkish physician once called in
to attend an upholsterer very Ill with
typhus fever gave him up for lost, but
passing the house next day found him
still alive and on the mend. On in
quiry. he found that the patient, in
bis consuming thirst, had swallowed o
pailful of the juice of picked cabbage.
Called in subsequently to attend a
dealer in embroidered handkerchiefs
ill of the same disease, he prescribed
at once the juice OF picked cabbage.
The next day the man was dead,
whereupon the doctor entered in his
notebook the following memorandum !:
"While picked cabbage Juice is a
very efficient remedy in cases OF
typhus, it is not to be used unless the
patient be, by profession, an uphols'
terer." ."-Pittsburg Dispatch.
