An enterprising journalist has been
permitted to view the famous Ger
man ''war treasure" which lies stored
in the isolated julius Tower of the
fortress of Spandau, ready for any
sudden emergency. The total amount
is 10000, 900 marks, or about $50, OOO,-
900, sum which would go far toward
defraying the cost of making stand
in Transvaal. Gold pieces of the val
ne of ten or twenty marks are alone
used for this purpose. There are
1900, 900 of them, contained in bags
that hold 10000 marks apiece, and
these are stored by tens in $4,000
wooden boxes. The screws that close
the boxes having been driven well
home, seals are put upon their heads.
Thus the contents are never visible to
mortal eye, but the cases undergo pc
riodical weighing in order to ascertain
that the hoard has not been tempered
with.

1t is about nine hundred years since
forks were invented. A princess was
married to prince of Venice. For
the wedding breakfast she provided
herself with silver fork and a gold
spoon. This set the fashion, and
wealthy families soon provided them
selves with like table furniture. The
greatest excitement followed their
introduction; and the Church con-
demned the use of these articles.
without which you would not be able
to eat with comfort. 1t is said that
it was six hundred and thirteen years
later that the fork and spoon entered
England.

DOG BRINGS THE PARDON.

1t was dog that brought liberty to
a convict in the Kentucky peniten-
tiary. The intelligent brute acted as
messenger between Gov. Brown and
the felon, carrying the pardon in it's
mouth from the executive mansion to
the prison and, after gaining admit
lance. to the recipient of clemency
himself. The dog is the property of
the governor, and the convict is o. G.
Garden of Louisville, who was SEN
fenced two years ago to serve a term
of eight years for manslaughter.
For some time Garden has been
employed as a "trusty" at the ex-
ecutive mansion doing chores and
running errands. The dog, a fine
specimen of the shepherd breed, is a
family pet and is unusually intelligent.
1t was part of Gardens duties to
look after the animal, and they came
to be fast friends. When the prison
doors were opened in the morning
the collie was there to meet his con-
Wet friend and accompany him to the
mansion. At night he returned with
his striped playmate to the grim por-
tails.
When the pardon was made out it
was suggested that the dog be per-
mitted to carry the welco me freedom
to his devoted friend. The paper
was enclosed in stout envelope and
given to the animal, which was told
to go to the penitentiary. With a
wag of it's tail it left the mansion and
ran down the old accustomed route to
the prison. A telephone message
apprised the guards of his coming
and he was admitted without delay.
Garden was in the yard patiently
awaiting the arrival of the governors
messenger, never dreaming that the
dog had been selected. Catching
sight of the we'll known face, the dog
ran up to the convict and laid the en-
velope at his feet. The glad cry of
happy surprise that the overjoyed
prisoner gave, on catching up the Of
fetal envelope and tearing it open
was reechoed by succession of joy
Gus banks from the four footed har-
binger of good tidings.

If the federal senate were a house
of lords, as some Anglomaniacs would
like it to be, the fact would be occa-
sionally convenient. When a new
peerage is created in England, the
recipient of the honor has the privi-
lege of choosing new name which is
to be attached to his title, and form a
part of it. Thus, Benjamin Disraeli,
when made an earl, chose the name
of Beaconsfield. If similar state of
things existed in the United States, it
is probable that in case the republi-
can candidate for the Kentucky SEN
atorship should get that one vote,
which he lacks, he would choose the
name "Nimrod;" for he would have
reason to consider himself mighty
Hunter before the Lord.

You'll find crackers in other parts
Of the country than the south, said the
tall, sea captain like the man at the
inn. I've seen them in every land
yes, on Long Island. 1 take it the
cracker belongs to class by himself
The crackers, all the way from the
foothills of the Alleghanies in Lam
caster county, Pa, to the mountains
of Georgia, are, as take, the descen-
dants of men from the north of Ire
land. Some of them reached this state
from Canada and went south by way
of Cherry Valley turnpike into Penn
sylvania, and thence into Maryland
and Virginia. They are the best of the
cracker tribe. They still have some
of the religion they started with and
remnant of energy.
You lind a southern or western
cracker now and then with a good
New England name. There was an
early New England emigration to the
south, met out in the mountains of
Missouri a cracker who was a direct
descendant of the old governor of
Massachusetts, Endicott. He bore
the family name and had a trace of
the New Highlander in his face, though
he could neither read nor write. He
had however, his grandfather's diplo-
ma from Harvard college. The grand
father had removed to N. Carolina
and part or perhaps all of the family
had drlfted west and finally reached
Missouri. The cracker had way of
travelling long the mountain valleys
from state to state, and good many
went into Tennessee and Georgia.

a GOOD STORY, WHETHER you
BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

Although the woodpecker is indus
trious. provident and peaceful, he is
not to be trifed with or tyrannized
over with impunity, as the following
incident will show.
A companion and l on an August
day not long since pitched our camp
on the ridge dividing DIAL from Santa
Clara Valley. About the spring stands
a large grove of live oaks. In one of
| these, not far from the tent door, a
pair of woodpeckers had, for years
no doubt, made their dwelling place.
Somewhat shy of us at first, the birds
in a few days paid little attention to
our presence. 1t has frequently
amused us of sultry afternoon as we
lounged upon the buffalo robes laid
on the shaded grass, to observe the
birds, with whose labors the warmth
seemed to have little to do
We had camped there week or
ten days when, before daybreak one
morning, we heard commotion
about the home Of our staid neigh
bors. Our attention was attracted by
their shrill outcries and the whirr of
their wings among the branches
overhead. 1t had no sooner grown
light enough to see than we pushed
back the flap of our tent door and
peered out to ascertain the cause of
the disturbance.
It soon became apparent that lit
tie tecolote, or ground owl, at the
approach of day, had taken lodging
in the hollow occupied by the wood
peckers, to their CONSERVATION. But
the return of day brought courage to
the rightful owners, and they reso-
lutely set about finding means to eject
the invader. They tried bluffing
awhile about the only aperture to the
hollow tree, but to little purpose,
other than to cause the tecolote to
peck at them when they appeared to
be abont to thrust themselves in.
At last, finding that neither threats
nor entreaties were likely to be eff
fective, and resolved that if they
were to be deprived of their home it
would be the last of that tyrannical
owl, the woodpeckers brought pres
emily from another part of the grove
an oak ball Of the size of the aper-
ture, and, driving it tightly into the
hole, withdrew to another hollow
tree, leaving the bird of prey her
metically sealed up.
After several days, when we start
ed to return to San Buenaventure, the
ball was still in the hole, and the
settled in their new
home, were going about their bust
ness as if there had never been a
tecolote-Portland (Ore.) Press.

THE ROENTGEN DISCOVERY.

The experiments made at Harvard
College with the Roentgen process
remove the last doubts of the posi-
bility of effective photography
through considerable thickness of
wood. But still greater triumph of
the system is that announced by cable
from Vienna, where DR.. Neusser, of
the Vienna University, has succeeded
in photographing through the body
the calcareous deposits in various in
ternal organs Of human subject
The new process promises to be
greatly useful in medicine and sur
gerry, as it will make the diagnosis of
many forms of disease of stomach,
lungs and other organs as matter of
much greater certainty than it is
now.
The simplest explanation of the
3rinciple of the discovery yet given is
that many substances seemingly
opaque are transparent to light vibra-
lions of which human eyes take no
cognizance. If window glass is trans
parent to light at certain rate Of
vibration and wood to rays vibrating
at a different rate, it is easy to see
that to photograph through the wood
as if it were glass it is only necessary
to get plate of the proper degree Of
sensitiveness.
A new field in the science Of the
physics of vibratory force has been
opened up. The results of expert
ments along the lines now clearly in

met his death in the electric chair
That two years should elapse between
his crime and it's penalty if not un-
Fortunately circumstance so unusual
as to call for special comment, but
the efforts made by prominent politi-
clans to save him, together with the
honors paid the memory of his vic
tim by the friends of good govern
nent have made his case historical
The murder Of which Bat Shea was
convicted was committed in the in
terests of a corrupt faction who
sought to carry the Troy municipal
election of 1894 by fraud and terror.
The Indignation expressed by the re-
spectacle citizens of Troy a short
time ago when the fake confession of
an old chum seemed likely to save
Shea from punishment shows how lit
tie claim he had to sympathy, and his
death viii be an object lesson to those
who would tamper with the purity of
the ballot box, as we'll as to the muir
derously disposed. Senator Murphy
in interceding on behalf of ruffain,
whose 2learly- proven crime had de-
rived the community of one of it's
most FL and exemplary members,
reflected no credit either on himself
or the democratic party.

The republican party does not hold
its principles subject to barter and
sale. 1t believes in protection, be-
cause protection, is right, wise
and benefcent in it's application
to the entire country. The repub
lican party believes in honest
money, because it is an honest party;
and, further, because dishonest
money, while doing measureless mis-
chief to all classes of society, even
ultimately to to the silver mine own
ers themselves, would most especially
injure wage earners, whose welfare is
the supreme object of the protective
principles. The republican party in
all its history has been protectionist
party and a sound money party.
1t has won great many victories
for both these planks of it's platform,
and expects to win a great many
more. It expects to win one more
victory for protection and honest
money this coming November. 1t
would like the cordial and consistent
ing camp States for all measures
of republican policy. If that is
asking more than will be grant
ed, the republican party will be glad
to have silver senator's assistance in
maintaining and extending the uni
versal benefits of protection. But to
get that support, it will not sacrifice
one jot or one title of it's time honor
ed and sacredly cherished politico
economic faith.-AdUertiser.
