From the Los Angeles Times
The story of Richard Reese (or Reeves
the counterfeiter who was arrested near
Los Angeles recently. is tragic example Of
the mutability of human affairs Reese has
seen but two years less than half a century
or life. His training was that of a me
chanic. He is not a man skinful with
hands alone, but one who works with both
hands and brain. When L. s. Grant was
running for President years ago there was
big political celebration in Chicago
Grant was there and Reese rode in his car
riage as representative of the labor,ne
classes, proclaimed by his fellows the most
sklllfui mechanic in all America
AS the years went by the mans reputa-
ton grew and increased. AT last he OBJ
talned place in one of the great Shoes al
Homestead, Pa. Eventually he rose to he
foreman. with salary of $1,000 year
Then came the great Homestead strike
whlch brought ruin and death TO so many
men. Reese was infected with the Iabor
doctrines then prevailing. When the strug-
gle was over Reese was ruined man. His
place was lost and a reputa tion established
as man who could not be relied on in

Reese came 20 California He came to
Los Angeles some months ago, expecting
to obtain a position foreman of the roll
ing mill. There vas some hitch, and in
consequence Reese obtained Only a subordi-
nate position. He was content with
this There was dispute and Reese :.
connection with the mill ended.
Reese got very poor indeed, and poverty
drove him to crime. He put his skill as a
mechanic to the evil use Of making bogus
money. He declares he has been engaged
IN the nefar1ous business but a few months
meaning 20 save enough money to buy a
little home for himself and to get another
start. That acc omplshed he had vow ed to
live an honest life again.

Thievish Wood Rats,
From Forest and Stream.

From Forest and Stream.
The wood rat of the western slopes of the
Cascade range Is a curious creature that
loves to steal SO well that 1t is known to
many as the camp robber 1t carries off
anything it can lay its lips to. and is, be-
sides, a jolly, reckless fellow. It does
things which rodents are not given to do
ing
1t will take knives. forks and tin pla .es
cartridges, cups and anything it can handle
in the line of clothing. towels Or gun rags
which make soft Innings for its nest It is
related how a pair of these staked off
claim on top of hunters camp stove and
put up the most curious rat house anybody
ever heard of. About 200 yards away was
a railroad shanty, where the section men
kept their supplies. and among other things
was a key of railroad spikes, such as are
used to fasten the rails to the ties. The
rats took some spikes to their claim, built
up an iron wall and lined the interior with
soft stuff 1t Is curious fact that all the
points of the spikes were directed out
ward, and they were laid with great regu-
larity and firmness. The habits of the rat
are a study for a naturalist, and it makes
things so interesting for the natives that
they kill 1t on sight.

Mr.. CARLISLE'S PLANS
He Will Return to Kentucky Whom He
Retires From the Treasury.
II Silver Loses He May Enter the
Senate Race Again Against
Blackburn.

The latest report about Mr.. Carlisle's
plans indicates that the gold democrats
have no thought that silver will win at the
polls in November.
1t had been generally assumed that at the
close of this administration Mr.. Carlisle
would establish himself in the practice of
law in New York city. Why return to Ken
lucky? 1t was asked. The political field
there would be closed to him, and such
practice as would come to him in the town
of Covington would not be likely to satisfy
a lawyer of his present eminence. So New
York was to be his home in future. Mr..
Bristow had gone there after leaving the
Treasury Department and built up lucra-
tive law business, and Mr.. Carlisle, q fell
low kentuckian, would follow his example.
Different Story Now.
But there is a very different story now
Mr.. Carlisle, it Is stated, has no thought
of giving up his residence in Kentucky, but
will return there when his term Of office
ends here. and take up the law again.
Later he expects to canvass the state in
the legislative contests of next year in the
interests OF the democratic party If the
democracy captures the legislature he may
then decide to offer for the Senate against
Mr. Black burn in January, 1885,
rms program must be based upon the
telief that the fight for silver this year
VIII be lost, and that the democracy by
next year will be in humor to listen to
those of its old leaders who are now with
out influence. Otherwise it canno, be ex-
planned. If silver should win at the polls
this year Mr.. Blackburn will probably be
invincible at home next year. The federal
patronage will all pass through his hands,
and every effort be put forth by the new
administration to make him his own sue
Cessor. He IS personally the most popular
of ell the silver leaders
If Silver Loses.
But if silver loses, and loses heavily; If
the republicans return to power in both
the White House and Congress. the gold
democrats will lay the blame at the door
OF the silver democrats, and insist on a
rev organization and a return to the old
leadership. In canvass like that the
friends Of Mr.. Carlisle think he would cut
a very commanding figure on his native
meath On general issues he has always
led his party at home. and on the tariff
ISSUE he led the party everywhere until
NJ Cleveland, by force of his presidential
cfhce, assumed the leadership for himself
Carlisle and Blackburn, on the stump to-
sether and opposing each other, will make
next years Kentucky campaign as inter-
esting as this years has been

Extraordinary Skin-Graftinr.
From the Chicago Times Herald

From the Chicago Times HeruId
DR.. Nicholas Sem has made a success of
an extraordinary operation in skin graft
ifg. Nothing of the kind was ever tried
before, and the eminent Chicago surgeon
has startled his medical brethren again by
his daring. and is receiving their plaudits
for the triumph Of mis- remarkable experi-
ment.
The parboiled hand of a man, devoid OF
skin on its back, was inserted in a pune
ture made between the skin and flesh of
the mans own stomach three weeks ago
and fastened there literally in a sling of
skin and flesh. Yesterday it was removed.
and it was found that the skin of the
stomach had grown to the back of the
hand. 1t was carefully treated, trimmed
down to where 1t should grow, and a trt-
umph in the surgery Of skin grating was
made public.
The patient Is E. E. Lyday, cashier Of the
First National Bank of Newton. iowa. He
has been resident and business of that
place for years. Mr.. Lyday was a victim
of wreck on the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific railway at Grinnell, Iowa, in
lS!a The hot air" pressure on a coach at
that time severely scalded his face and
hands. He was Scared for life In the
course of time he recovered the use of his
left hand. but his right hand was so par
boiled and manned that he lost control of
it. The member was like a piece of man
gled beef. The skin was hopelessly and
permanently gone. from finger-tip to wrist.
Lyday first submitted to the knife April
%. piece Of his skin three inches in
width, fvesinches long and quarter of an
Inch thick was skillfully cut. The UNIQUE
bandage was lifted to permit the insertion
of the mangled and scalded hand. which
needed a new covering. The hand was
placed in this novel grating device few
weeks ago. Yesterday the triumph was
complete. The skin had grown on the back
Of the hand. and a process was promptly
applied to substitute another skin on the
stomach and breast, from which the strip
had been transferred to the hand.
