 He threw his newspaper pn the floor and waved both hands over his head, while his clinched teeth refused to give exit to the remarks which seemed struggling to come out, says the De- troit Free Press.
 What's the matter, Orlando??" his wife exclaimed, although with less agi- tation than the situation seemed to warrant, fer she was used to his ways. 'Every time I am reminded of it." he muttered, in voice which shook, ''I am filled with indignation"
 Every time you think of what, Or lando?'

 "Well, Orlando. I suppose it's pretty bad. But did you lnow that you haven't had the leaky faucet in the kitchen at tended to yet?"
 That is not the topic under consid- eration,' he exclaimed, savagely.
 Not exactly. But you know, dear you aren't going to have nearly as much trouble with the outflow of money as you will with the outflow from that faucet if they find cut about it and make you pay fine for wasting water.

4 Remarkable Nevada Wood.

One of tlle most remarkable products of Nevada is species of wood known as mountain mahogany, which, when dry, is as hard as boxwood, very fine grained, red in color, and of very high specific gravity. It has been used for boxes for shaftings, and, in some instances, for slides and dies in quartz batteries. It burns with blaze as long-lasting as ordinary wood, but after going through what appears to be regular combustion it is found almost unchanged in form, being converted into a charcoal that lasts about twice as long as ordinary wood, giving out immense heat, greater than coal, all the time.

Weather Report.

The Weather Bureau reports show the
highest and lowest temperatures yester-
day to have been 81 and IS degrees, with
high southerly winds and cloudy wea-
Their prevailing.
The barometrical readings at ) a. m.
and p. m. yesterday were 29.95 and
29.9I inches, respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were rs and 81
degrees, and one year ago to-day "A
and 81 degrees.
The wind yesterday travelled from
twenty-eight to thirty-three miles per
hour, from the southwest, and the ra-
pidity with which the air was brought
from the sea coast to the interior caused
the fog from the ocean to be driven
inland, but as it reached the latter por-
ton of the State it was raised so high
above the earth surface that it became
cloud or high fog. By the rapid move
ment of the air inland it also brought US
the coast temperature, as yesterday
was IL degrees cooler than the day be-
fore.

The Class Work Tomorrow After

The members of the Young Women's

ANOTHER CASE.
Two Wheelmen Pursued by Two Men
in Cart.

The Capital City Wheelmen's Club is
dcsirous of learning the identity of the
two wheelmen who were pursued on N
street on Sunday last by a couple of
men in cart
A citizen who witnessed the occur
renee says the men in the cart did their
level best to run over the wheelmen by
lashing their horse and chasing the
riders zigzag through the street. There
was no street car there, either, to
brighten the horse
The members of the club think they
know where they can use the proofs to
good advantage if the two wheelmen
referred to will come forward and make
themselves known

Have You Noticed Its

One eye is stronger than the other.
This being the case, is it not apparent
to anyone of common sense that they
should have their eyes tested by some
competent opthalmic optician- The use
of glasses not fitted to odd eyes results
in gradual loss of sight in weaker eye,
and weakening of the good eye,
leaving it more SUSCEPTIBLE to disease.
F. de Wolfe Hennah gives a free ex-
animation of the eye at his offices, The

7HE REASON WHY
Secretary Carlisle Communicates With
the Senate Bond Com
mittee.
And GIVES SOME OPINIONS
He Claims the Bond Sales We're Nee
essary TO Preserve National
Credit.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-Secretary Car
isles reply to the subcommittee of the
senate finance committee, charged with
the investigation Of the sale of United
States bonds during the years l69i-56,
was made public today. the statement
is dated June l. After reviewing at
length the conditions which led to the
bond issues the secretary says: My
opinion is that the prices received by the
government for the bonds sold III
1894 So were as high as it was
possible TO be obtained under the
circumstances existing at the time the
sales were made. The fact that bonds
are offered for sale by the government
only at times when the financial affairs
of the country are greatly disturbed and
the market more or less depressed on
account OF the business situation and
the feeling Of insecurity, which always
prevails at such periods, necessarily pre-
vents a realization Of as good prices
as might be secured under more
favorable opportunities, The same con
ditions which make the issue of the
bonds necessary also dcpress the price
Of such securities in all the markets Of
the world.
"In relation to that part Of the reeolu-
tion which directs the committee to in
Vestigate and report what effect the bond
sales had on the credit and business Of
the people of the United States, | have
the honor to say that, in my opinion, the
sales were necessary for the preservation
Of the credit Of the government and the
security OF the business interests of the
people, and that they, in fact, accom-
plished those results, In general, the
effect Of each sale was to restore conf
dence, for the time being at least, in the
power and purpose of the government
TO maintain ite own credit, 10 preserve
parity Of our coins and the values of our
currency, and to check return of our
securities in large amounts from other
countries for sale in the market here
