CHURCH'S TALK
Boiler Inspector Church was brief and
pointed. "The whole thing in nutshell" /"
said he, sis that a number of engineers
are opposed to the manner of conducting
examinations. And the present method
Is no better. The board has destroyed d
the questions first used, and the mem
bers have a new set entirely. This last
set is not printed, 1 believe, and when
an examination takes place it is conduct
ed along oral lines wholly. Indeed, the
examining member holds the card con-
tanning the qusetions in his hand and the
applicant must write out his answers be-
fore learning the place where the exam
ination is carried on. I do not anticipa te
much trouble in settling the matter; ]
am chief of the department, and I shall
exercise my judgment in the premises
and do what believe to be right
THE ONLY PEBBLE"
Deputy Boiler Inspector Little had but
few words to say. Asked concerning
the charge that he had furnished list
of questions to applicants or was run

nations, he smiled good naturedly and
said: See you later
But the war is on, ard when Council
man Baker arrives at home from his
vacation he will scarcely have time to
brush the alfalfa out of his hair before
the dogs of war will be let loose in his

THE OIL MEN
The contention of the oil producers is
based on the extra sums they claim they
are compelled to pay for the class of men
who secure licenses. The owners of
drilling outfits allege that the examina.
tions are so scientific that none but
highly educated men can compete, and
that this class has Joined hands in. an ef-

have $3.50 cash as his commission for
making the sale, which amounted to
$4,000.
When Mike went back to the little
burg. and told the wise men Of the 80 per
cent discount he had got for them be-
cause he was a friend of the manufac-
turers, and showed them his receipt for
$3.50, paid by him to keep his friends from
backing out. they decided that he,
Michael, was the only real public-spiri
ed man they had ever seen and they
then and there elected him vice-presi-
dent of the new company and started to
put up building according to Mikes
suggestions. Arrangements were made
to hold a meeting of all the stockholders
to sign the corporation papers.
Some two weeks later a way-worn
tourist who had been fired off a freight
train some two miles out, was walking
up the main street of the village in
search of a place where he could make a
touch" when he spied Mike coming
down the street in all the glory of a
Prince Albert coat silk hat and dia
mond.
Shades of Gutenberg and franklin!
What are you doing here logged up like
Rothschild, and me with my tongue
hanging out with thirst?'

Mike. THE very walls have ears, and
everybody in this town has ears, and
everybody knows everybody's business.

place where thistis quenched."
Lead on. Macduff. I'm id if ever
had enough"
In little out-of the way place, down
near the depot, Mike slipped into side
door. and the tourist followed. They
sat down to a table that was soon graced
with a couple of ''schoorers.' Mike be-
gan to unfold the tale of the electric
light plant, and as he drew near the
end the punctuation. became closer and
closer, until at the close the story be-.
came a mere stutter, hyphenated with
schooners.
Night came. The night on which the
corporation papers were to be signed,
ready for the filing on the morrow-but
Mikes tourist friend ever between swal-
lows, asked questions about Mikes ad-
venture, which made necessary more
beer and explanation, and Mikes en-
gagement was forgotten.
They never knew how it came about,
but they woke up in a big box car that
was being switched to one of the freight
houses, and somehow, four days had
dropped out of life's calendar for each
of them.-Louisville Post.

MINING NOTES

English capitalists are expected to
soon close a deal for the Capital and
Eagle groups of mines. 80 miles north
of Needles. San Francisco parties have
lately acquired a valuable property in
the same district, which lies across the
line in Lincoln county, Nevada
The sale of the Lost Horse mine and
mill on the desert east of San Bernardino
has not yet been consummated, but the
San Francisco- men who are after the
property. will probably close the deal
within a week or two. The figure is
understood to be in the neighborhood of
100000
Messrs. Moore. Black, Stephens and
Stewart, who own the Iron Chief mine
on the desert east of San Bernardino,
have done a great deal of development
work during the past six weeks, build
ing fair road to Walters station on the
Southern Pacific, and regular shipments
of ore to the Selby smelter at San Fran
cisco will begin shortly. The Iron
Chief is one of the richest mines on the
desert, and carries five to eight ounces
of gold per ton.
Fortune is indeed tickle. The King
man, A. T., Miner says that Thomas Nc
Nicely is shipping nice lot of ore from
the Retort mine, Mineral Park. About
year ago two men had q lease on the
mine, but unfortunately they did not
strike anything and gave up in disgust.
Mr. McNeely went into the old drift, in
which they had worked and after driv-
ing 1T three feet pumped right into a
bonanza. The ore will run seven or
eight hundred ounces silver to the ton.
The old reduction works at Needles,
erected several years ago by Isaac
Blake. Of the Nevada Southern railroad,
will be sold shortly at receivers SALE
The plant contains some costly machin-
cry. but was operated for only few
days after 1t was completed. Blake
erected it for the purpose of handling
ore from the mines about Marvel the
northern terminus .of his road, but a
short; run demonstrated that it was not
suited to the reduction Of that class of
ore. 1t has stood idle ever since.
The forty immense battery blocks to
be installed in the Excelsior company's
big new mill at White Hills, Mohave
county, were hauled out from Kingman
last week. The Kingman Miner says
that all the interest of the White Hills
Mining company in the White Hills
mines was this week conveyed to the
Excelsior Mining company. 1t is not
known how large q figure was received
for the mines. The old company will
probably continue business in Gold Ba-
sin. For several years this company has
kept the White Hills mines running un-
der discouraging disadvantages and
operated them. In the Gold
Basin Is an opportunity for the old COM
pany to open up and put on paying
basis some Of the biggest and best gold
mines In Arizona.

riers of these fieting Jumps of sweetness.
and a present worthy of queen is thus
smuggled by the mother who objects to
daughters receiving anything but the
most trifling gifts.
When one turns from the realms of
posies and plants and seeks for gifts of
gold and silver, the field of extravaganza
is perceptibly enlarged. Since gold is
almost entirely matter of personal
adorrment, the selection of gifts of
which it is largely component part re-
quires excellent taste. Silver, on the
other hand, takes every form, from the
costly ware to the silver hat mark, which
every lase thinks she must give her lad.
And so 1t happens that Easter has come
to be not only the natal day of charming
fashions, but further proof that the
methods of dear old Kris Kringle are
extending farther and farther from the
Christmas tide into the new year that
follows.

NEW YORK, April 5.-The Easter
butterfly is about to emerge from it's
chrysalis. simultaneously the Easter
gift becomes largely in evidence. The
attention of the one is sure to be de-
keepers who deal in things that are
fanciful are preparing for See harvest
time. 1t is the season of preparation,
for Easter Sunday promises this year,
despite the hard times. to eVolve the
most notable parade Of fine feathers
on fine birds that Fifth avenue ever
witnessed.
Time was when the lily was far in the
lead of all other flowers when the flow
of the Easter tide began, but this year
1t promises to have many close competi-
tors for favor. The florists say that
more than ever before the orders for
flowers are of a more general nature.
OF course, the lilies predominav, and
beautiful they are. There are some
choice new specimens this season. sew

in their points which appeal to the judg-
es of flowers, any that have seen the
light of a previous Easter. Here is an
other features of the close of Lent that
the hard times seem to have had no ef-
feet upon thus far.
The shops of the milliners and mod
istes are filled with a fiuttering throng
of femininity, possibly to far greater
extent than would be the case If 1t were
not that the fetching hats, bonnets and
gowns in process of creation are not so
luxurious in point Of price as in other
seasons. The creations are none the
less charming. however, and the Easter
girl of 1897 will form fully as attractive
picture as any of her predecessors.
Each year witnesses the growth in
popularity of the Easter gift. Usually
this gift is largely tinged with religious
feeling, but there are those who prefer
not to have 1t so. Some persons even in
this day of composite ideas appreciate
the incongruity of an Easter souvenir
spoon with half shelled chicken for the
bowl and cross where the tail ought to
be. AS matter Of fact, 1t is usually
the least pious persons who deprecate
the haphazard application Of the relig-
ious symbols OF the day.
What better gifts then can there be
than flowers and plants. Of which 50

ST. FRASVILE FEClAM PARISH LA, SATURDAY, AUGUST H. 1884,

finally solved Saturday night at joint
meeting Of the School Board and num-
Der of representative citizens. It has
been customary for the local banks to
carry the schools until the regular
revenues accruing from taxes and State,
city and parish appropriations came in.
This year the banks has hestitated to
advance funds owing to feeling caused
by the charter imbroglio. However,
all difficulties have now been overcome.
Representatives of the banks were at
Saturday nights meeting, and, while
no binding engagements were entered
into, the board was assured that tht
money would be forthcoming for the
city schools at the regular time.
