Park Commissioner Teed made the dis
covery, but he has not staked out q
discoverer's claim. He did not keep
the fact Of his find a secret and go
straightway and form an immense stock
company to work the place. Instead. he
gathered up quantity of the auriferous
rock and took it to the city hall and
offered ii to whoever cared to carry Il
away. Even then he had difficulty in
disposing of it, for the city officials to
whom it was offered stated that they
had too good thing in the city treas
ury to care for such a base thing as
gold, especially since it was not re-
fined gold. Even the janitor Of the
building would not have the ore, say
ing that the return of good times had
made him so prosperous that he did not
care to deprive a poor park commits
sioner, who served for the glory there
Is supposed to be in that position, OF
his gold. Not caring to carry the rock
home, Mr.. Teed. deposited 1t on a win
dow sill and told Secretary Menden-
hall to give 1t to the first mendicant
who applied to him for aims. 1t was
still on the window when the city hall
was closed
Commissioner Teed is an old mining
man, and is able to tell at a glance gold
from other things that glitter. 1t has
become almost a second nature to him
to carefully examine every rock he
sees to learn of what it consists. Sew
eral days ago, while on tour of In
spection through Eylsian park, he saw
what he considered good surface indi-
cations of the presence of the precious
metal. Making a mental note of the
spot he con tirued his tour. Yesterday
he went back to the place and found
that the workmen in making excava-
tions had uncovered ledge which un-
doubtedly contains gold. The ledge il
almost in the center of the park and at
the point where it was uncovered lies
along a line of road which is being cut
down by the workmen. Just how much
of deposit there is he has not the
slightest idea, nor does he know how
high the ore will run per ton. There
are two different characters of rock at
that point, one, of them of a reddish
brown, showing the presence of consid-
cradle iron, and the other light gray,
which he thinks contains silver. 1t 10
in the brown rock, which is decomposed,
that the gold is said to lie. but a pow-
erful glass failed to disclose any sprink-
ling of the metal. Several mining men,
who were shown samples of the rock,
declared that 1t undoubtedly contained
gold, but as to the amount they differed,
one guessing as much as IS per ton.
Mr.. Teed stated yesterday that he would
not propose that the city build wall
around the place and work the claim

Only a Cold!

Yes; but a cold frequently has
a serious ending. Chronic
coughs, pneumonia, bronchitis
and consumption all start with
a cold. Neglected colds cause
more than two-thirds of all the

There is a right way and a
wrong way to cure acold, but you
can make no mistake in using

that his vessel is ten feet down at tine head

shifted aft. The stevedores insist that the
vessel is slowed correctly according to the

dispute will be settled in the courts. 1t is
said that when the Pasteur was painted

las SIN Lives.
\ stuffed dog in Il glass Casa com
mon, ordinary street cur-adorns the
private apartments of one of Philadel-
phia's largest hotels, says the philadel-
phia Record. There is Il rather curious
story connected with the defunct ami
nal, which the hotel man recites as fol-
lows: One day the deg came nosing
about the lobby, and although elected.
several times always returned, evident
ly in search of the kitchen. Finally, in
order to get rid of the cur, ii was given
Il large piece of raw meat. Instead of
eating the meat the canine took the Of
fering in its mouth and went out into
the street. Out of sheer curiosity the
hotel man followed the animal and saw
it take the beef 10 another dog, which
was crouching behind the step. The lat
ter stood up on receiving the meat, and
as it did 50 held one foot off the ground.
1t was discovered that the second dog
was lame.
When the crippled dog was eating its
meat the other stood guard to see that
there was no interference. So it came
to pass that the proprietor took both
dogs into the hotel and christened them
Damon and Pythias. Damon is the one
in the case and Pythias still runs about;
although old age is creeping on apace.

British ShiDmnstcr Uses His Fog
Horns 10 Good Purpose.
While the British steamer Bellucia
was in the harbor of Buenos Ayres on
her last voyage to South America Capt.
Nerison taught the people of that city
a lesson which may be of value to peo-
pie in many sections of this country.
The residents of the city and the other
captains in the estuary of the River
Plata wondered why the English YES
sells fog horn was footed every evening.
| The echoes of the harsh braying of the
horn walked up the harbor and caused
great deal of comment. When the
mystery was solved the horns on other
craft were blown, too. The explana-
ton was very simple. Capt Nerison, of
the Bellucia, was unable to smoke his
evening pipe on account of the millions
Of South American mosquitoes that
made life on deck after sundown un-
bearable. He happened to remember
that mosquitoes cannot stand the null
sations in the air caused by sound
waves. So on every dogwatch he de-
tailed sailor to blow horn back of his
chair on the quarter deck and there
after smoked his pipe undisturbed.

cries, which form but a tithe of the
varied treasures found in the Chandni
Chowk.
The muslin-robcd merchants stand
outside the shops to proclaim the value
of the wares and to solicit inspection.
Dark and winding steps lead to dusky
chambers, where an all-pervading odor
of sandalwood and musk creates the
traditional oriental atmosphere and
imprcgnates the bales of silk and CASH

rubbish innumerable gems of art re-
ward the explorer who can afford the

This box forms part of lamp post,

White letters on a red pane of glass
in the lamp over the box give direc-
tions how to send an alarm. The same
direction in raised letters are found
on the face of the box. If we turn the

MARlETTA'S GROWTH.
Gratifying Disclosures by Deputy state In

During the past few years Mariettas
growth in population and wealth has
been patent TO all observers, but her
increase in manufacturing industries.
the real foundation of every city
prosperity, has not been so well known
or understood
Mr. John Tysinger, of GAINESVILLE
Deputy State Inspector OF Workshops,
has just completed an inspection of the
more important factories and shops in
the city, and in making up his report
discovers that since 1894 Marietta has
experienced the phenomenal growth OF
doubling her industries. Mr.. Tysinger's,
figures are official, ,anda bsolutely lycorrect
and were compiled by considerable la
Dor on the part of that pleasant and etli'
cieut gentleman. They give to Marietta
Il cause for as much pure, unadul'erated
self-congratulatio as the most loyal
and enthusiastic citizen could desire.
There are few towns in OHIO that can
compare notes, and show the same
proportionate growth.
Below we give Mr.. Tysinger's table

ployed by the leading firms
