A Butte mining expert told an Inter-
Mountain reporter a few days ago that
there was more gold in the hills of
Madison county than there was in cir
culation in the rest of the world. The
statement is probably q little wild, too
highly colored, perhaps, but if all the
yellow stuff now beneath the surface OF
this county was in circulation in
tho United States talpces would be
considerably easier.

said he intended to steal as soon as he

which he expected to do as soon as the

he had often expressed q desire to be
laid for his last long sleep.
The affair caused great excitement
and Indignation. The malcontents took
advantage of the distressing occur
n to stir up strife and fears were
entertained Of a mutiny. A grave was
dug IN the spot where he lay and the
the MOravian missionaries officiating.
After the services were over John
Howard Payne, who had been a silent
witness of the pathetic scence, began
singing softly to himself the song
which has since been echoed through
every land on the earth. General
Bishop, who had kept a close scrutiny
on his actions, heard the song and
called Payne to him.
"Youpg man." said the stern old In
dian fighter, where did you learn that
song:"
Payne.
"And where did you get the tune?'

'Would you let M have a copy of
it,"
"Certainly I will"
"Well a man who can sing and write
like that is no incendiary. Appear
ances may be against you, but | am go
ing to set you free. | shall write out
your discharge Immediately and a pass
to you anywhere you choose through
the nation"
Payne had been housed at the home
of a family living neal by, and on his
return there he exhibited his pass and
related the circumstances. That was
the first time that "Home, Sweet
Home" had ever been sung in public.
Well, Bart read the story and it
made a great impression on him. He
went to bed, but the memory of the
narrative would not allow him to
mixed up with the Miller prophesies,
and in this confused condition he dozed
off into a light slumber. Soon the
vibrations of a sweet, half smoothered
melody reached his ear He thought
the world had come to an end. The
| memery of bis deeds, both good and
! evil rushed through his excited brain.
A cold Precipitation broke out all over
MIN. BY this time he was wide awake.
The music sounded nearer, stronger
and seemed to penetrate every part of
the house. Now the voices were sing
ing "Home, Sweet Home" so sweetly
that he could almost hear the rustic of
wings. His blood was O fire. He
sprang out of bed and shouted:
Cup Mrs. Bartlett, up! They have
comet"
"Who has Gomez" asked his better
half.
THE angels. The world is coming
to an end. l can feel it in my bones!'
he shouted excitedly.
"Why Bart!" replied his wife ''that
is only the young ladies' orchestra SER
enading you"
He would not believe it. 1t was too
good to be true. And when he went to
the window and looked out and saw
that it was true and realized that the
world was not coming to an end-at
any rate. not just yet. he says he was
almost as happy as he would have been
had Anaconda got the capitol.

A CORRECT VIEW.

The New York World, referring to
the combine between western senators
and protectionists, says:
The tariff policy which aims to pro-
tect the iron and wooden and other
manufacturing industries is bound in
ordinary consistency to protect the sill
yer industry. The advocates of the
free coinage of silver would be equally
inconsistent if they did not recognize
their duty to protect the manufacture
ers. This reciprocity of interest which
is the basis of the alliance is the best
guarantee of it's maintenance. 1t adds
to the interest of the situation. 1t is a
challenge alike to the sound money
sentiment of New York, and to the
Ohio straddles and Mckinley evasions
which have hitherto been assumed to
| represent Republican financial opinion.
It is the entering Of q wedge which
with a little vigorous pounding may
| force the ST. Louis convention to de-
clare itself Oh one side or the other.
| There is no reason for secrecy about
the proceedings of the new alliance.
AS it is perfectly frank and candid in
its motives, it should be open in its
methods. and stand or fall on it's mer-
its.
And thus does the leading Demo
! cratic newspaper of the country hit
the nail squarely on the head. 1t is
| simply this: Silver, as an American
product, is entitled 70 recognition and
protection. We are in favor Of q
strong protective tariff. but we want
that protection to cover silver as vel
as other American products.
What a glorious fight those western
senator's have begun. And how gal
lantly do the men from Montana. Car
ter, Mantle. and Hartman, figure il
the contest. Their courage is the
source of much satisfaction to the peO
pie they represent. Ex-War Horse
Sanders, with all his braggadOcio, ha
no such stuff in him. And right her.
we want to congratulate the people O
Montana upon the fact that he does no
wear the toga.

FOUND NOT INSANE.
Police Surgeons Opinion of the Mem
tai State of Florence Jordan.

fOl1ce surgeons Op1n1On OF the wen.
tai State of Florence Jordan.
Police Surgeons hewitt and Hickling
made their final report to the authorities
this afternoon concerning the mental con-
dition of Florence Jordan. Briefly. they
hold that she Is responsible for what she
does and is not insane. That from the
evidence they have heard and the exhaus-
tive examination they have made they
would not be justified in committing her to
the insane asylum.
The surgeons made another examination
today. which lasted for some time. They
conversed at length with the girl. but she
did not show the slightest mental derange-
ment. She spoke of her past and said
she had not given her soul away, she hal
bartered it.
Immediately after the surgeons made
their report they notified the station keep
er of the first precinct station of their
finding. and notified the mother of the girl
to call at the station and get her. AS the
charge of larceny against her has been
withdrawn she will be released.

j. w. Browns Store Wrecked This
Morning..


Morning..
Special Disratch to The Evening Star
FALLS CHURCH, Va, September IL
The store of Mr. ]. w. Brown, corner of
Washington and Broad streets here. was
wrecked this morning about o'clock by
dynamiters. whose supposed intention was
robbery CT the safe. They entered one of
the windows after removing a pane of glass
and attempted to break open the safe,
which is located In the west corner of the
store room. but evidently larger charge of
dynamite was put in than was intended, or,
as many think. they were new at the bust
ness and an explosion followed which
wrecked the inside of the store room and
threw the goods on the shelves in a con-
fused mass upon the floor.
The whole front of the store was blown
out, and large part of the safe thrown
across the street, eighty feet distant, and
fragments scattered in every direction.
The first person to arrive on the scene
vas Jos. Wesbury. who saw two men in
the street near the building, one of whom
turned and shot at him he accosted
them.
Young Wesbury, on the opposite side OF
the street, hearing the explosion. arose, and
raising the window saw the two men also.
and heard one of them say TO the other
Are you hurt?''
He replied, No"
They both seemed perfectly cool and
laughed at the disaster they had caused.
He shouted to them, when a shot was also
fired at him. the ball lodging in the window
casing ear him. The men then fled down
the street.
The building comprises a store room and
dwelling, in which Mr.. Brown and his family

On the scene Of disaster and with the as
sistance of H. L. Turner and several fire
extinguishers succeeded in putting out the
fire which had started among the rubbish
In the store, and was spreading rapidly.
The robbery had evidently been planned for
several days, as two strange men have been
noticed III the town for night or two past.
| There was no money secured, and but little
boxes were found which they had emptied
probably before firing the fuse.
The loss TO Mr.. Brown Is quite heavy
| The building is owned by Mrs. A. F. Turner

| arrest and conviction of the perpetrators o;
| the outrage. A large crowd has been gath.

| building all day. and great indignation t.
| expressed, but apparently no effort is being
made here to find the guilty parties. 1t Is
thought by many that If searching parties
| had been formed at once the parties might
have been discovered. A pick and severa
other tools with which the work was don,
| were found short distance from the build

| during the day clearing up things.
