Mayor Pingree's fame outside OF his

for him the name Of Potato Pingree:
a more substantial tribute is seen in the
fact that Buffalo and other cities adopt

success. His fight against street car

at fishing camp in Canada last
Friday, where he had gone with a
few friends for an outing. he died
of heart disease in his sleep. Hehad
been Governor of his State two or
three times and though only 80 years
of age was regarded as the ablest

In the contest in Henderson coun-
ty last year when the railroad infuen-
'ces were all arrayed against Frank
Richardson and openly working
against him, Judge Yeaman was an
earnest supporter of Richardson and
did all be could to help him carry
Henderson county, which his friends
lost by the fatal blunder of leaving
too soon, after organizing the conven-
ton. Judge Yeaman in that instance
took direct issue with the railroads.
But the charge that Judge Yeaman
has been corporation lawyer" has
been shown to be untrue. He has
occasionally represented the L. & n.
in local cases but never as a salaried
attorney.

We havsto reckon with this outburst
which cannot be disposed of by a
contemptuous- gesture. The gold
men who went to Chicago ten days
ago made the mistake of assuming
that they had to deal with a mere
epehemsfal craze, and they made the
further and irretrievable mistake OF
dealing with it on the heroic plan.
They found, too late, that it was no
fad, no.luke warm academic theory,
no lifeless syllogism. They found
themselves confronted by a living,
palpitating thrilling movement, into
which men had fling their sentiments,
their convictions their very souls,
1t was movement to to be checked

CROWN JEWELS.
Something About Those Brought Sack
from the Ashanti Expedition.

Something About Those Brought Back
from the Ashanti Expedition.
Some time ago Sir Francis Scott
deposited at the offices of the crown
agents for the colonies such of the
gold and jewels belonging to King
Prempeh as the British we're able to
lay hands upon and to bring to Eng
land in respect of the war indemnity
due from Ashanti in connection with
the recent and former expedition to
Coomassie.
Such rare and curious examples of
barbaric skill and splendor often
have value of their own far in ex-
cess of that indicated by the weight
of the precious metals of which they
are composed. The whole collection,
however, is far smaller than that
brought home after the Ashanti
war, some specimens of which are to
be found at the ImperiaB institute
and British museum, while other ar
ticIes were disposed of to dealers in
curiosities, and the residue Of the
ornaments went to the smelling pot.
1t was, said tine crown agent, a
notable fact that, whereas the former
jewels were all of solid, heavy gold,
those brought home as the result Of
the more recent expedition were
mostly hollow and c01sequentlynruch'
less valuable, although composed OF
the purest gold. The most striking
feature Of the collection is CROWN.
probably chat worn by the monarch.
The body of this crown is made of
antelope skin and the inner lining, is
of coarse yellow silk or plush. On
each side is lapel apparently In
tended to meet below the chin and
fasten there. The ornaments upon
this curious headdress are of pure
soft gold, and they comprise repre-
sensations of human heads, paw
bones and Hons, the WHOLE being sur
mounted by two goats horns of
gold. Much of the treasure con-
sists Of component parts,of necklaces,
wristbands, ETC., but Sir Moutagu
called special attention to what is
presumed to- be the badge of office of
the public executioner at Coomassie.
At the top, and bottom Of this
strange ornament are representa-
tions of human bodies without heads,
and in the center is the executioner
with his drawn sword or execution
knife in his hand. all these. figures
are of gold. and the badge, which is
of hide, is, provided with strings by
which it was fastened upon the
breast. There is also an execution
knife or sword, slightly curved, with
its cutting edge on the, inside. The
weapon appears to have done much
service The handle, like those of
most Of the swords and knives in the
collection, is clothed with leopard
skin and terminates in a huge golden
ball.--London Times.

The selection of Mr.. J. D. Mocquot
as the successor of Mr.. Chas. K.
Wheeler, by the the State Central
Committee, was irregular and with
out authority, The party law re-
quires that vacancies in the Execu-

the district committees. The district
committee of the First district alone
has the power of electing Mr..
Wheeles successor. 1t is likely that
the proper committee will elect Mr.
Mocquot to the vacancy whenever il
is called together, which may not be
until after the September primary
election.

For about three years the old man has followed The business of peddIing dressed fowls about the city. Several month ago he aroused the suspicious of Policeman Culpep- per and that officer watched him and found that he had no chickens and appeared never to have money with which to buy them. Notwithstand- ing these facts the old man always had a supply of dressed fowls on hand which he peddled to his GUS toners. There has been great com plaint made to tine officers about the depreciation of thieves, so on yes terday Chief Stewart gave his sub- ordinates orders to arrest J Jackson the first time he was caught selling dressed fowls on the charge ol peddling without license. This oc. cured yesterday when the old man was found with a helf dozen dres. sed chickens in basket. When arrested he denied stealing the chickens, but he was carried to the jail and locked up. There he weak. ened" and admitted that he had been stealing chickens for over threC years. The arrest will probably for time, saveponltry raisers much money and annoyance.
