GUARDED MUCH TREASURE.
Col Burns Has Brought Millions In
Gold Across the Continent.
San Francisco Exam


A unique character is Col j. H. Burns,
who last week was in charge of Wells
Fargo express car, in which 81 200, 900
in gold and trife of $4,000 in silver
were packed TO transfer from the sub
treasury in San Francisco to the sub
treasury in New York. T. ID. Warwick
helped Col. Burns guard the money.
At no time during the trip, the schedule
and time table OF which we're carefully kept
secret, were the precious contents ofthe car
lacking their vigilance.
Col. Burns has guarded so much gov
ernment money in its transit across the
continent that he couldn't count 1t in a
lifetime-not if the siXty-five years he has
already spent on earth was certain to be
doubled In the years 1SS5-S6 he guarded

San Francisco to Washington-$30, ,O0O,-

Water Purified with Ozone.

The publication OF drinking water by
means of ozone has now been carried out
on large scale at 0udshoorn. Belgium, for
over year. The water source at this
place was polluted, being, when untreated,
absulut ely unfit for use. At the first
contact Of the water and ozoniZed air
the greater part of the microbes are
killed, a few, however, offering resist
anCe, to kill which seven or nine minutes
of continued application are required. A
remarkable example of the power of ozone
for this purpose is mentioned: namely, that
Of seventeen sample tubes thus treated,
sixteen remained sterile. 1t has also been
found that the oZoniZed wSter is very
much less liable to reinfectioh than water
which has been merely filtered, and that
the beneficial salts In water are scarcely
affected by ozone, while both the color
and taste of the water are modified favor
ably. The only difficulty in the applica-
ton of this process hitherto has been the
want Of perfectly constructed apparatus
to produce the ozone economically and in
large quantities. difficulty lately over
come by DR.. Repin's process. The method
of treatment in question depends, in respect
fcost, upon the amount of organic material
in the water and the price OF coal, so
that, in the treatment OF Seine water,
for example, the expense is given as less
than one horsepower per hour for the
sterilization of five cubic meters.

SULTANS CHANGE OF HEART
Grants Amnesty to Two Thousand
Armenian Prisoners.

London, Dec. pa dispatch from Con
stant:nople To the Central News says that
the sultan has issued decree granting am
nesty 20 two thousand A rmenians who have
been convicted either of crimes against
the government or against persons or prop
erty, or who were awaiting trial on such
charges.
In addition his ma jeSty conimutes the
death sentence passed on ninety ArnIrnians
to imprisonment in a fortress and prom
ises that these prisoners will be given their
liberty if they behave themselves for three
months.
This Clemency is due to the intervention
of Mgr. 0rmanian, the new Armenian
patriarch, who recently requested the sui
tan to show mercy TO the many Armenian
prisoners. The sultan then consented to
grant u general amnesty on condition that
the patriarchal mixed council guarantee
the future good behavior OF the Armenians
affected by his act of clemenCy.

ROYAL LIVES AS RISKS.
Large Insurance Placed Upon Kings
and Other European Magnates.
Tondou Tjd Rjfs

A peculiar and little known branch OF in
surance is that indulgedin by private per-
sons who insure the lives Of royalties for
their own benefit. From the standpoint OF
the individual it is, of course, pure Specu-
lation. The royalty insured may ubligingly
depart this life shortly after the insurance
is effected in which case there is quite Il
respectable sum nerted; or, on the other
hand he or she may persist il lingering to a
good old age, when the insurer benefits but
little. But taking out policy on the life
of a royal parsonage is, on the average, u
pretty good spec
This Is how tits done: You gentlereader,
wish to insure the Prince of Wales, we will
say, for the sum of $500. You fill up
a proposal form for that amount in the
name of H P. r. Albert Edward, Prince of
Wales, Duke Of Cornwall etc, and for
ward it to company which accepts this
kind of insurance All companies it must
be noted, do not issue policies on royalties
lives to private individuals, but many in
quite the first tfa nix do.
On receipt OF your proposal the company
will inform YOU Of the rate per cent at
which the premRml will be charged; then,
if you are willing to pay this rate, WI hich is
a fairly high one, . policy will be issued in
the usual way. Most policies of this kind
are without profits e., there are no
bonus accretionS,
Although there are 40 statistics on the
subje and accuracy Of statement is there
fore impossible, it is quite probable that the
life of her ma iesty the queen is insured
hundreds of times in this manner. The
same thing Is true, to modified extent,
of most of the other members of the royal
family.
The Duke of Cambridge, for instance. has
been for the past twenty years a favorite
Subject with insurance spectators. The
reason is obvious, but the rate is, as may
be supposed, very high. Many companies
also accept proposals on the lives of mem
bers of foreign royal houses.
A few days ago policy on the joint
lives of the Duke of Cambridge and the
ex-King of Hanover for the sum of e1 ,0eO
was in the market. The Hanoverian mon

Immediate and sincere action Will be
