Perry Belmont is the political man In
the triumviratc. He is one Of the most
influential leaders of the democratic
party in New York. Perry resembles
August greatly. but his hair Is thicker,
and he looks much younger. He is a
remarkably brilliant talker and has
most winning manners. He could have

The democrats want Perry Belmont to
run for governor of New York state
this year. Whitney would like him to
do II. The statement that n deal to this
effect has been made within the party
lines was denied by Mr.. Belmont lately,
hut he is known to be like Barkis at
any rate.

convention In New York. Perry Bel
mont Is asked TO address It. He is the
Depew of his party. The last gather
Ing attended by him was the New York
state convention. He was its tempo
rary chairman. He made a speech that
was thundcrously applauded.
Few people outside OF New York can
understand how powerful Perry Bel
mont Is politically. He is n member
or the party's state committees; he Is n
leader OF the finance committee. He

Cleveland-has been able to do. He Is
very powerful among the reform or
Cleveland democrats, and he Is a power

and bosses so, but Perry Belmont stays
all the time.
There Is a little bit OF unwrltten his

make, which puzzled hundreds OF thou

August Belmont to-day rcigns su-
pecmc upon the American turf. His re-
cent purchases have fairly dazzled the
talent. Moreover, it is due to August
belmont that the sport itself has not
been literally wiped out of existence.
The famous Gray bill. recently before
The governor Of New York, is known to
every lover of horscncsh. Its defeat
aouid have meant the ruin of n noble
sport. IL Is no secret that Mr.. Morton
long hcsitated to sign IL. Betting had
long been a scandal. The fair fame OF
a great state was seriously compro-
mtsed. August Belmont was cntreatcd
ny turrmcn everywhere to interfere
and save the measure. He personally
interviewed the governor and gave his

Belmont told him to decline. The Bel.

They have raised its credit as high as

mont that as a democrat he should
stand by the democrats. Mr.. Belmont
replied that he would stick TO those who
stuck TO him. He stuck to T'ammany.
and Mr.. Myers was withdrawn. Tam
many would do anything for Perry Bel
mont. So would the Cleveland men.
Richard Croker Is a keen Judge OF
mon, and he once said that he believed
Perry Belmont would become president
OF the United States II he lived. Perry
Belmont Is ambitious-vcry ambitious.
There can be no doubt that he wants 10
10 governor of the Empire state. But
he is a young man. He can afford to
wait; he never runs the risk of ruin.
The party would joyfully nominate him
next year, but he would not take a nom
nation unless he were sure of election.
And when a mar becomes governor OF
New York he is as likely as not half
way to the presidency. And Perry
Belmont is very ambitious. He usually
wears a black frock coat, a high col
lar, a dark pun tie and a high hat.
His hair is thick and curls into two long
locks over his forehead. He is a born
diplomat, a mighty force in a mighty
triumyiratc.

seems to run smooth when the clatter
of horses hoofs broke upon our ears.
I'VE quickened our pace to the edge
of a clump of poplars that commanded
a view of the road. Even before we saw
his flying horse and his face cleaning
in the moonlight we knew instinctively
that 1t was Dick Xanthus and that he
Vas in trouble.
I'VE saw that his horse was carrying
double and we smiled even as We halted
and drew our sabers, for the noise OF
pursuers sounded close upon the clatter
Of his horses hoofs. But thought We, he
will soon pass our line and then We will
flash out and put his assailants to flight.
We wished to take no rash measures.
ION they came, pursuer and pursued.
The lieutenant was very near us, and
we could see him looking down into the
face of the little Venable girl, when, to
our surprise, what should he do but
whirl suddenly and go charging back
straight into the faces Of his pursuers.
1T was all done in a moment. We
saw his saber flash upward; and we

then there was a flash Of another steel
and Xanthus dropped from his horse,
just as we dashed up and surrounded
the two Venable boys.
THE girl was on the ground beside
her lover, weeping and trying to
staunch the flow of blood, while her
brothers stood by, mad enough to end
1t all with her; but we took them all
safe into camp. OF course, we couldn't
do anything with the ~fellows-they
were only protecting their own. But
they had to consent to the marriage OF
their sister with Xanthus; for, as you
know, he did not die Of his wound.

I'VE warned our young lieutenant
that his visits to the Venable house
and especially youth that is in love
is headstrong. so he went on his way
just as we expected he would.
FINALLY, one day, when things had
been going on in this way for some
time, Dick asked the colonel for leave
on the next night. Old Tom Baker was
colonel Of the regiment then, and he
was a good-hcarted old codger. He
winked knowingly as he gave the young
lieutenant leave and warned him not to
get into trouble.
"a quarter OF an hour after Lieut.,
Dick Xanthus had cantered away from
the camp a ~half-dOzen of us young fell
lows were summoned into the %colonel's
presence. We found him pacing back
and forth the length of his tent, with Il
look Of mock sternncss on his kindly
face. He addressed us as follows: Gen

must be confessed, is rather lax. Con-

gone to the Venable house to carry of
the daughter OF that household as n
bride. Now, whether his action Is right
or not, It is not for MS to say, but a man
in love Is liable to encounter great
dangers in accomplishing his end. But,
said the colonel, with a twinkle In his
eye, all this Is neither here nor there,
and Is of no consequence to you. My
purpose In assembling you together Is
to send you out as a reconnoitering

DUCK.
1t Can Skate on Ice and uscs Its wings
for sails.

FROM the st. Louis Globe-Democrat:
There is a remarkable duck in the
Philadelphia zoo lake, which will prob
ABLY prove the only one of its class
that has ever been discovered. Il is a
large. snow-whitc bird, whose plumage
is so luxurious that it would fill n good
sized pillow. It's wings, when spread
ont. cover an area of 4 feet Z inches By
3R feet. The wings are very peculiar.
being jointed very close to the body.
This enables IL to bend them in such
n way as 10 form a tent. In terrible
winter storms in its native land it finds
this very useful.
Those who watched this wonderful,
duck noticed that n peculiar growth
was forming on its feet. AS the wealth.
or grew cooler the growth grew more
and more pronounced. 1t appeared to
be a thick cartilaginous substance,
which gradually extended. II looked
like another toe. and IL was thought
at first that the bird was going to be
uniformed. But instead of stopping
when the growth reached the size OF
the other toes it kept right on. 1t grew
to be about six inches long, and the
end of 1t took a curious turn. Instead
of turning down like n claw, it curled
up and round in a picturesque loop.
Then it gradually hardened. The duck
had skates on The peculiar formation
was just like the "skees' of the Morse
men. More than probably the "skees"
were actually patterned after this
growth. These skates were invaluable
to the duck in his native land, where
Ice and snow, with heavy crust. cover
the face OF the earth and the deep.
Travel by swimming was largely tied
up by this ice. Waddling afoot was slow
and tedious, so kind nature provided
a better and quicker way-skating. All
the duck had to do was to spread out
his immense wings. stand firmly on
his skates, and. whiz, he would go
spinning over the surface of snow and
ice at n high rate of speed. With the
approach of warmer weather these
skates fell off and the feet are sim
liar to those of any other duck.

NO WASTE OF WATER,
0imple Process of Extracting Gold from
Orc Which Saves Millions.

=" shOsh
Orc witch Saves Millions.
From tho Boston Journal of Com
merce: 1t is not generally known, even
in California, that millions of dollars
are annually taken from rude heaps OF
base-looking quartz by the flowing OF
water over huge piles of broken rocks
that contain the precious metal. The
process Of robbing the earth of It's gold
has now been reduced to such a fine
point that a gentle flow of water over
the ore CLEANS it of its golden treasures.
and this works well in cases where the
old chloride and other methods are not
so useful.
The water used by miners in bringing
gold from piles OF mineral bearing
quartz Is charged with a simple chem
ical, which has the potency to dissolve
gold and hold it in solution. The spark
ling liquid, which flows over hundreds
of tons OF quartz, trickles through the
mines and seeks its level, laden with
gold, Is charged with a deadly poison,
cyanide of potassium, a drug which fer

brings the precious burden to the watts
for conversion into refined gold again.
The cyanide process Is as noiseless and
unerring as the laws of gravitation. The
method is based on the fact that even
a very weak solution of cyanide of
potassium dissolves gold or silver,
forming respectively auro-potassic cy-
aIide and argento-potassic cyanide. The
solution is separated from the solid ma
terial and the gold and silver are pre-
cipitated in metallic form. During the
last five years the process has been in
troduced into almost every gold field In
California and elsewhere, and more
than 500, 900 900 has been recovered by
the gentle flow Of the waters charged
with the magical chemical.
Precipitation Is effected by the use of
fine pieces of zinc, so arranged Thai
when the rich waters flow over them
the fine gold clusters in rich deposits
over the zinc, for which it has an afin-
ity. The gold deposits itself In the form
OF fine dust on the plates of zinc.
