Rumor That William Waldorf Astor Is to
 Marry Lady Churchill.


 They say now that it is Lady Ran dolph Churchill on whom Willie Waffle Astor is about to confer his name, his Spanish ancestors and share of his enormous estate.
 It seems a good and reasonable match enough, but rumor has always had it that Lady Randolph long since gave her heart to another-to the young guards man whom she nursed so tenderly through the consequences of severe ac- cident
 Willie Waffle would indeed be fortu- nate to capture such prize, for Lady Randolph is still young-near 41-olev- CT as they make 'em and with an excel lently well assured position in English society.
 But, then, this is only rumor, which may be very wide of the mark and may fatter Willie Wallie's vanity to an in ordinate degree. -Cholly Knickerbocker in New York Recorder.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has again outwitted his enemies. A few days ago leading Republican and rabid silver Senators were loud in their denunciation of the President and the Secretary of the Treasury for their supposed sale of bonds to a syndidate But now it has turned out that ithe President and Seere- tary have not closed with the syndi- cate, but on the ether hand have ad- vertised for popular loan just what Senators were so vehemently advocating. Now, the aforesaid Senators who were so obstreperous few days ago, are like the little fel- low the calf run oyer-they have nothing to say.

Former Deaf Mutes Give Reeitations and
 Other Performances.
 A unique and interesting entertain. ment was provided the other night foI the friends and patrons of the Wright Humason School For the Oral Ins;ruo- tien of the Deaf in New York by ihe pupils of that institution. All who par ticipated were persons who are totally deaf and would be mutes had they not been taught mechanically to speak. The first part of the programme consisted of the recitation of Miles Standish, by Helen Keller, 15-year-old girl, who has been both deaf and blind since she was IS months old She is now learn ing to read the lips of person speaking by laying the fingers upon them. She committed the poem to memory from the embossed characters used by the blind alphabet. When in doubt, she re- freshed her memory by means of the raised letters.
 Although her articulation is necessa- rily imperfect, her words were audible and intelligible to most of those in the room. The reading was illustrated by a series of seven tableaus ill Puritan cos tune. The pupils who took part in the tableaus were Bertha M. Freeman, J. Pierson Radcliffe, Will J. Quinlan and Willard K Taft They were followed by Katharine Woodward, an Swear old child, in Greek dance.
 The performance was concluded by a txxfn anf for rrif Inv of AI,o pills, Robert H. Moulton. There were eight speaking parts. all of which were enacted by persons who had been taught to speak. As they were all totally deaf, it was necessary for them to take their cues by watching each others lips. The performance would have been very creditable one for any amateurs.
 MT. Moulton, who played the leading part, spoke with great distinctness. He has been prepared for college at the school and will enter Columbia next fall He expects to have no difficulty in recitation and will be able to under stand part of the lectures by watching the lecturers lips. The others in the cast were Bertha M. Freeman. Florence Shattuck, Katharine Woodward, Carrie Maeniel, Willard K. Taft, Francis Bell and Mary Nicholas.
 The entertainment was the first of the sort ever attempted at the school, and MT. Wright was much pleased with its success. The preparation for it, he said, had been of great value as means of practical instruction to the pupils. - New York Sun.

Perforated Sails,

Yachtsmen will he interested in the discovery of an Italian sea captain, George Batta Vasalio of Genoa. that ad- ditional speed can be secured by making a number of small holes ill the sails.
 The contention is that the force of wind cannot fully take effect in sail, since the air in front of it cannot prop erly circulate in the inflated part; that it is stagnant and is in effect a cushion, which acts like spring mattress, de- creasing tho actual pressure of the wind against the canvas.
 Trials made by the captain ill various weathers have seemingly proved the utility of this innovation. New York World.

 We have never known case of international dispute in which, on all grounds, a settlement by arbitra- tion seemed more urgently advis- able; and Lord Salisburys denial of our friendly request seems to us as reckless and as evil thing as mod ern history can show. His expressed contempt for the Monroe doctrine is wholly offensive to us as q Nation. But Salisbury will not always be Prime Minister; and that which is right and just should triumph in our relations with England without one single hint of so ineonceivably horrible a catastrophe as war. While We believe Lord Salisbury wrong and President Cleveland and Secre- tary Olney right regarding the ap- plicability of the Monroe doctrine and the principles of arbitration to the Venezuelan difficulty,it does not seem to us that the resources of dip lomacy have been by any means ex. hausted. We are confident that the Venezuelan question will be settled within this year 1896, and that the sober, peace-loving people of Eng land and the United States will con- clude not to hate each other or to fight each other. 1t would be en- tirely impracticable for us to send a commission the region in dispute; but we heartily approve of the plan of commission sitting in Washing ton who will advise our own goYel
 ment concerning the downright merits of the controversy. Mean while it is not in the least necessary ol desirable to contemplate hostili- ties as a result of the light which such commission may throw upon the boundary question. The ques- tions involved are historical ones which can be as readily determined in Washington as anywhere else. The controversy is one of at least fifty years standing, and the facts have been already completely un- earthed All that Great Britain can claim has been printed in British
  blue books; and, moreover, Lord Sal;sbury's letter contains the best presentation of the British case that experts could make with unlimited time at their disposal. President Cleveland's commission will have merely to look into the merits oi these claims already presented by Great Britain, aud to examine the Venezuelan claims, which, with all the evidence that is procurable, have already been carefully formu- lated. = From "7he Progress of tht World, " in the January ReUteeo of Re pieaos.

Solomon Baumgarten appeared before
Judge Frick this morning on citation
issued by Attorney Mitchell to show cause
why aIimony should not be paid on insti-
tuted divorce proceedings to defendants
wife and child, who have, as shown by the
affidavits of DR.. Medros, Mr.. Reimers,
Mrs. Prescott and others, been and are in
a starving and destitute condition. De-
PENDANT was Imprisoned some time ago
aud fined 500 in default, but after two
days he tired of Jail and paid up.
Since then he has contributed nothing
whatsoever toward his wife and child.
Solomon learning that his wife intended
taking divorce proceedings against him
decided all his property to his son Figi, by
former marriage, and it is claimed that
he did so in order 10 defeat his wife's
claim under marriage agreement for a
substantial part of the old mans estate,
which is estimated at SIC, 900 at least. Pro-
ceedings are pending In Judge Ellsworth's
court to set aside the conveyance 10 de-
fendant's son on the ground of fraud.
When Solomon appeared before Judge
FTick today he bore the appearance Of a
severely wounded fighter. large red
handkerchief was bound over his head to
hide the mark OF his recent battle with his
arch enemy and iather-in-law, Isaac Pan
toskey.
When Baumgarten took the oath there
was lively scene in court. The aged
husband OF very young wife took the
stand and was about to be sworn with his
hat off.
This did not please him, and placing his
hat on his head he walked up TO Judge
Frick and said that he preferred to be
sworn according to Hebrew fashion.
Judge Frick humored the ancient Junk
dealer and BaumRarten took the oath
with his hat on. He admitted receiving
the rents of the premises, although the
property had been deeded to his son.
Whom his Honor promptly ordered that
$40 per mouth should be paid to plaintiff
Solomon declared he had no money and
would not pay
There is one good trait about old Baum
garten. Although money is dear, liberty
is dearer He deiiantly refused to paw q
fine OF 500 in the Police Court and went
to serve one day for every 81. When he
had served 81 worth he weakened, paid

on the events of this county that can be
found within its borders.
Thirty years and more ago, when the
hills In the north of this county were
staked out in regular claims, gold was
found in small quantities in every direc-
ton. Miners came from all directions and
healthy camp grew like a mushroom on
the hillsides.
All efforts were concentrated in trying
to locate the ledge that it was thought
must exist and be responsible for the
many little finds that were daily reported.
The mother lode could not be found and
the camp disappeared even faster than it
had grown. Nothing more has been done
and for generation the idea OF getting
the precious metal in paying quantities
has been abandoned.
Now it is claimed that if the old lines of
the camp can be located the two men who
have been at work for weeks can find the
ledge. and they expect that it will prove a
rich one.
when they called on me-" said Mr..
Carleton to-day, "they told me of their
hopes. They were young men when they
first worked on the hill SO long ago, but
they have had lot of experience since
then, and assured me that they can find
the ledge In a short time. The old camp
was somewhere near the Williams ranch
and can be recognized because the miners
cut great gulch into the hill in search
for the lode.
MY visitors did not tell me any of the
details upon which their hopes were based,
and did not even give me their names.
They were earnest fellows and, although l
cannot give them much encouragement,
they certainly believe in their own ability
to strike 1t rich. 1t will astonish most
people to hear that there was once a gold
fever in Oakland, but while it lasted it
was quite exciting. l went out there and
did some digging, but got nothing but ex-
perience.'
Several old miners have prospected on
the northern hills, and all have argued
that there is ledge hidden away in them,
