is possible that such persons can make
seemingly good living out OF peo, le
who call themselves intellectual. But
this article is not Intended to treat
upon that matter, but to explain sci
ence which in grandeur and benefit to
humanity is unexcelled. Many people
who have heard of me only, and never
consulted my knowledge, attribute my
ability of stating accurate facts out OF
the individuals life to physiognomy.
This is another mistake, because |
would be the last person in the world
to deny it if such would be the case.
Why should 1 pretend to read the life's
history out of the hand when l could
read the same out of the face? Would
it not be the same to any one as long
as / state the truth and give the
desired benefit? If we'll, rhysiognomy
is a grand science, and enables
the one being master of same
to read an individuals disposition cor
rectly, but not his destiny, as physiog-
nomy is only that which an introduc-
tion is to book. The real history of
ones life is only to be found in the
hand. Palmistry is divided into two
principal branches, chiriognomy and
chiromancy. The former of these
names is applied to the reading of the
shape of ones hand, the latter to the
reading of the muscular system. By
the former one can divine the disposi-
tion, and by the latter the destiny, of
the individual. Chiriognomy is again
divided into two branches, the shape
and motion of the hand. Following
are a few points in these branches:
Notice an individual having the upper
joint of his thumb excessively outward
pointed; unerringly such indicates
forward, enterprising, determined dis
position. Again one will notice the
upper joint of the thumb to be n
usually massive and developed. This
indicates an acquisitive, sometimes
grasping, disposition. Again, notice
the index or forefinger's upper joint
more fatty inclined than the upper
joints of the other fingers. This indi-
Gates egotism. This article will be
continued in later edition, giving
more explicit explanation. Respect

orators and demonstrations were codly treated
and II looked for while II the south would
give n Democratic majority.
This was discouraEng and for time the
cause lanEuished. but the Republicans rallied,
and as the weeks passed gradually gained head

blood and eloquence were introduced. which
added 10 their zeal. Within the past few weeks
splendid work has been done and now southern
California is regarded as safe for Mckinley.
The Republicans have also been buoyed up BY
the news from across the Rockies which insures
the election of Mckinley. This has had n
wonderful effect on doubtful voters who have
decided to get on the winning side. In addition.
su ubscribers to the campaign fund have been
more generous and with the money they have
contributed new life has been thrown into the
contest.

1t is difficult to estimate on the amount that will
be received by producers for that portion of the

yesterdays prices there would be II further gain
of nearly S30,000.Oo0 over the value based on

Wall street was somewhat disturbed yester-
day afternoon by the withdrawal from ths SUBJ
Treasury OF Sl,300. 900 gold by Laidlaw d Co..
bankers at IA Wall street. This is tho largest
withdrawal Of gold from the sub-Treasury In
many months. except By drawers OF foreign ex-
change. who have been compelled at times to
shin gold abroad to cover the drafts sold upon
their European correspondents. I.adlaw Do
Co. obtained the gold. as usual, by presenting
legal tender notes, and they transferred it
from the Sub-Treasury to the safe deposit
vaults under the Bank OF New York. AZ 4s Wall
street As the firm is the agent here of tho
Bank OF California IL was at FIRST assumed that
the withdrawal WAS made for account OF that
institution. Upon second thought. however, 1t
occurred to the Street that II the Bank OF Cali
fnrnia wished TO withdraw gold from the sub
Treasury 1t could do II more readily and eco
nomlcaliy by presenting legal tender noteh at
the Sub Treasury in San Francisco. even II 10
had to obtain the legal tenders from this city.
The transaction WAS more plausibly explained
later in the day by the discovery that l.RidlRw
d Co. have been selling calls on gold. II Is un-
derstood that some of these arc now maturing.
and as gold commands a slight premium tho
firm may find II more convenient to discharge
their obligations by withdrawing gold from tho
Sub-Treasury than by importing IL or buying tt
In the open market. The tirm declined to make
any statemsn whatever regarding tho transac-
tion. and at the Bank Of New York II was inn
possible to learn whether IL was Interested in
the transaction or had furnished the legal
tenders that Inidlaw d Co. required to procure
the gold from the SubTreasury.
