that she intended to be married, with
their consent, If possible, without it, If

low cold occURs IN NATUE.

There is a good deal to be said about
gold outside of its relations to silver
and its intrinsic value as a money
standard. These subjects have made
people tired but 1t is interesting to
know something about the yellow
metal apart from the everlasting talk
about finance, which has overwhelmed
the country for the past six months.
We CLEAN some facts from a paper re-
Gently prepared by Professor Raphael
Pumpely on this subject, which will
make our readers wiser and better in
formed as to the sources from which
gold is obtained.
The professor states, that rocks dis
integrate rapidly, and in their pro-
ducts of decay gold and other ele-
ments are formed. The sea contains
much Of these products, and every GU
bic yard of sea water contains cents
worth of gold, which proportion. small
though 1t is, means fifty million tons
of gold in the sea. The greatest gold
bearing area in the world is in the
ranges running through South Amer
lea and Central America, and through
California to Alaska BY the action Of
volcanic eruptions in ancient geologic
times, throughout the Sierra Nevada
region, erosion has constantly lowered
the regions I'm one part, depositing
gravel in the bed of the stream. The
small PARTICLES of gold, being heavier
than the gravel. are accumulated in
little Jumps or nuggets. The melting
SHOWS from the tops of the mountains
supply the necessary power for sitting
and washing away the less valuable
materials The waters work their way
through the flssures of the rocks, and
in the course of the geologic upheaval
the gold is deposited along the hidden
streamways of dried-up courses. From
these the supplies of gold are derived
by cross mining. Such deposits still
exist under the lava deposits of Idaho
and parts of California, but are diff.
cult of access"
In the paper referred to Professor
Pumpely explained at length the pro
cess OF hydraulic mining and gave in
teresting facts regarding the occurrence
of quartz in conjunction with gold, the
long periods of time over which the
processes ranged that led to the forma.
tion of the ore, and other geological
data that would be out Of place in thi.
brief allusion to the subject Although
he specified the places where gold has
been found in the greatest quantities
he did not presume to say that new
mining fields, quite as rich as thos,
that have been worked, do not still ex
ist in obscurity.

ROENTGEN RAYS.


The First Practical Demonstration in the
West By q Perfectly Appointed Appa--
ratr.s IN the Hands of Prominent St.
Louis Surgeon.
ST. LOUIS, July "A practical demon
STRAIT of the value of the Roentgen
rays as an aid to surgery was given
Thursday evening by DIR. Heber
Robarts at his private hospital in this
city, number of interesting expert
ments being made in the presence of a
party of invited guests, including sew
eral of the newspaper fraternity.
Dr. Robarts enjoys the distinction Of
having the first complete apparatus to
reach the west, and is correspondingly
enthusiastic over the grand possibili-
ties offered by it as an adjunct to his
chosen profession, not alone as source
of personal profit, but as offering
boon to those who. by reason of mis-
fortune, are compelled to invoke the
skill of a surgeon, whose work, by its
aid, will be brought much more nearly
to the plane of an exact science than
has been heretofore possible with only
the aid of knowledge of physiology
and anatomy backed by clinical prac--
tice.
From an unscientific standpoint the
demonstrations presented were OF more >
than passing interest; they were un
canny, startling. 1t is one thing to
scan illustrations of effects produced
by the y rays and to read learned and
technical treatises in explanation, but
it is an entirely different matter when
one, with the aid of the rays and the
Edison Horoscope, sees his own skele-
ton-or a portion thereof; sees
objects through two inches
of intervening wood, or witnesses
the taking of a perfect photograph OF
the interior of Il portion OF the human
form without the aid of camera or
lens, and through several thlcknesses
of clothing, besides the casing of the
sensitized plate; or, by the aid of the
Horoscope. to look entirely through
TIE human body. These things, how
ever, the doctors guests were enabled
to do, and all were agreed that
the demonstrations were not only
wonderful, but that the time had come
when botch work in surgery would
have to give place to the certain and
scientific results which the y rays
make possible of attainment. DR.. Rob
arts was congratulated on his having
been the first to bring the ap-
paratus to st. Louis, and those
who had the pleasure of wit
Messing his experiments are certainly
to be congratulated upon beng among
the first in the western country to wit
ness practical demonstration OF the
possibilities of the Roentgen rays
given from Crooks tube and also the
value of the Edison Horoscope as an
adjunct.

WHOLESOME TRUTHS

Forced Upon Unwilling Ears at the Fu-
neral of the Dead Striker william Rett-.
ger.
CLEVELAND, O., July 5.-The funeral
of William Rettger, the striker killed
at the Brown hoisting works, was the
most imposing funeral pageant ever
given a laboring man in Cleveland.
There has been but one occasion when
there was larger procession and
greater crowds. The funeral of Gar
field. To-day, by actual count, 1900
men formed the funeral cortege. The
funeral services were held in the
Church of the Immaculate Conception.
A conservative estimate places the
number of spectators about the church
and along the line of march to the
cemetery at 1O0,OOO. The procession
moved quietly, and, save for the dirges
played by the many bands, no sound
save the tread of feet, broke the quiet.
The white casket in which repOsed
the remains was literally buried in
flowers. Mgr. Thorpe, in the course
Of his sermon, said:
Human passion is strange, and the
lesson to-day teaches that we many
times go beyond our strength, and
that there is no way to reason against
human passion. The lesson we must
learn to-day is that in society
there are two classes, capitalist and
wagc-earners. Next to capital there
is the strong right arm OF labor. One
cannot exist without the other. The
capitalist has a right to manage his
capital. lie has the right under the
laws of the state and nation. He
makes hazardous ventures, and on ac-
count of the risks in business has
the right todo as he chooses. He may
abuse that right and forget God in his
endowment of his riches. If he does,
there is Il remedy, but it does not lie
in passion or violence. The remedy is
public sentiment and the law. There
is another class, not banded together
as you are They have their individ--
ual rights and those who administer
the law must protect them. Scenes
have been enacted during the past
week which should never have oc-
Cured. These men who have become
victims of your hate have rights un-
der the law"
He continued at some length to score
the strikers for the scenes of violence.
After the funeral the sermon was
roundly denounced by many.
The troops are still under arms and
grave trouble may yet ensue.

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

HOPE revived in the hearts of rela.
tives and friends of the miners en-
tombed in the Twin shaft at Pittston,
Pa, on the 5th, by the report OF the
rcscuers that they had exchanged sig
nails along the rails of the gangway
railroad with the imprisoned men, and
efforts to reach them were redoubled.
Later in the day, however, skilled
men who had been sent down the
shaft to verify the good news, returned
and reported that after prolonged ef-
torts and the use of every method OF
signalling possible they had failed to
secure any response from the lost men.
THE funeral of William Retsger, the
striker killed during the riots at the
Brown hosting works at Cleveland,
O., occurred on the 5th. By actual
count 1900 men formed the funeral
cortege. Services were held in the
Church of the immaculate Conception,
during which, the officiating priest,
Mgr. Thorpe, took occasion to censure
his hearers in no measured terms for
their sinful eXcesses in violation OF
law, and admonished them that cap
italists had rights that worklngmen
were bound to respect.
ELECTIONS were held in Belgium. on
the 5th, for members of the chamber
