A MAN DELEGATE.
He is From California and Has Ideas
About Nurseries


Washington, Feb 2O.-Among those
attending the meetings of the Mothers
Congress without doubt the most
unique figure is Mr.. H. NJ. Anthony of
San Francisco. Mr.. Anthony comes
as the accredited representative of the
San Francisco Mothers club, and has
Travelled a longer distance than any
other member. Mr.. Anthony is I'M
married, and although quite young, has
already taken rank among the most
prominent members of the organiza-
ton. Yesterday afternoon he was en-
gagged in assisting Miss Frances E.
Newton in the arrangement of a nurs-
cry for young children, in which Sug-
gestions for the care of children are
practically illustrated.
Mr.. Anthony says he has had no
practical experience in the management
or care OF nurseries, but has given the
subject much thought and study, from
theoretical standpoint. Miss Newton
says the nursery is not a model one,
but by the suggestions it will make
and the modern appliances for the
comfort and health of children, she
hopes the exhibit will be productive of
much good. The nursery is in one of
the north parlors adjoining the banquet
hall.
Miss Newton is from Chicago and is
one of the foremost women in America
in kindergarten work. She has large
classes at ChautauQua every year and
has given special attention to nurseries
She will speak on this line before the
congress during it's session, her topic
being Mothers Greatest Needs
The merchants of this city have been
generous in loaning the articles used
in the model nursery, and a dainty
white bed, with immaculate linen,
stands in one corner, and a dolly, quite
as large as veritable baby, lies in it.
This dolly is dressed in the latest scien-
tificmade baby clothes, as a practical
illustration of how properly clothed
babies should be dressed. A little ia
babys bath, and a modernly-designed
approved medicines for an infants ails
are placed in close proximity to the
bed. A set of drawers and a wee
trunk to hold the baby's belongings are
to be found here; and cunning little
chairs and diminutive tables, and kim
dergarten articles, and games that not
only amuse but at the same time in
struct the youthful mind, help make up
the model nursery, while a metalla-
phone suggests that the modern mother
can vile baby into by low land with its
music, instead of the old time lullaby.
The groups of pictures in the Itera-
ture room is another strong attrac
ton. Mrs. A. A. Birney's picture with
model mothers of the congress, for she
is the mother of nine children, and yet
has found time to most successfully
plan and execute the arrangements
which have made the congress such a
success.
Mr.. Brittan's picture, with his beau
tiful little girl; Mrs. Finley and her
fair daughter, and numberless others
are to be found in this collection.

STEAMERS BIG CARGO.
New Hamburg American Vessel
Which Carries What is Equal to
10 Freight Train Loads

New York, Feb. 20.-The new twin
screw freight and passenger steamer
Pennsylvania, of the Hamburg-Amer-
lean line, was placed in commission on
the regular service between New York
and Hamburg today. She will leave
this port tomorrow with a full cargo,
carrying a total of IS, 500 tons. This is
the largest cargo that was ever taken
out of New York on one ship, or, for
that matter, the greatest that any ship
in any part of the world has carried.
To form an idea of the enormous
quantity which this amount of freight
represents it is interesting to note it
would take GIG ordinary freight cars, or
about eighteen trains, to transport it.
Among its miscellaneous cargo, the
Pennsylvania carries 294, O69 bushels of
grain, equallng 6.S47 tons, which is in
itself more than the average freight
steamer carries if completely filled.

KANSAS NEWS.
Blue Rapids Citizens Positive
They Have Gold
I'm the Rocky Hills and Ravines
of Marshall.
FOUND YEARS AGO.
Back In '62 Marion Waller LO.
Gated a Rich Mine,
But He Died Sudden1y-NOw
Another Find.

Blue Rapids, Feb. 2O.-The Blue Rap
ids gold mine" seems to be a source of
considerable amusement to the little
two by twice newspapers in Atchison.
Others appear to see some catch or joke
about it.
We expected this, we wagged our
heads, and shot out our tongues and
jeered at Cripple Creek, but Cripple
Creek went on just the same, and our
gold is developing right along despite
the funny business going on around US.
Why should not gold be found in
these rugged bluffs as well as in the
mountainous state to the west of us.
In 1862, Marion Waller, gold miner
from California discovered gold, which
he claimed he dug out of the earth here,
where large quantities remained. He
carried specimens to st. Joseph, Mo-, to
an assayer, they were found to be very
rich, and he formed a company there to
work the claim. Waller started home,
but being far gone with consumption
was taken sick at a little town near St
Joseph and died there, the secret of the
place where he found the gold died with
him.
Blue Rapids, their descendants and 9TH
ers have varied the excitement of the
hunt for game for that OF search for
"Old Walters gOld.''
Many beautiful specimens of gold ore
have been found in the ravineS near
the river, at different times and gold
was discovered in the river bed but not
in paying quantities.
COmparatiV little was known about
ores, prospecting or mining so nothing
has been done until recently when a
specimen of gold, silver and lead was
found by w. H. Hill, a practical miner.
He said nothing about it until after a
careful investigation of several months
he with John Shaw leased the Brown
land consisting of 160 acres Of rugged
bluffs and rocky ravines north of the
Blue river.
The gold is here and some of our prac-
teal business men are helping the good
work along, but we are not advertising
the find for any other purpose than as
a piece of good news. 1t is said that
specimens of gold ore equal to those re-
Gently found and other minerals were
sent to the museum of the state histori-
cal society at Topeka by some of our
earliest settlers many years ago.

RASIN TRUST FORMED.
Starts in Wall Street With 100000
CAPITAL

New York, Feb. 20.-A company has
been organized here, the object of which,
it is said, is to control the entire raisin
industry in the country. The capital
stock has already been subscribed in
Wall street. 1t is only $500,000 as a
starter and the name of the corporation
has not even been selected.
AS practically all the native raisins
come from the grape region of Cali
fornia, the new company will make its
headquarters at Fresno, and build a
large factory, which is expected to alb
sorb all others. The new company has
control of a novel device for taking
seeds out of grapes. Alfred Nichols is
president of the new CORPORATION.

PAYING OFF INDIANS.
CoHeyville Merchants Go to the Cher
okees After Their Money.

Coffeyville, Feb. 2O.-A number of the
Coheyville merchants have gone to at
tend the payment of Cherokee freedmen
which began yesterday on Lightning
creek, about 80 miles southeast of Cof-
feyville. About $S00,00 is to be paid
out of ALSO freedmen.
This payment grows out of the sale of
the Cherokee outlet and is the result
of a big lawsuit. The Cherokees claim
ed that these freedmen had no interest
in this land but the freedmen brought
suit for their share of the money real
lied from the sale, and the suit was
practically settled by compromise at a
meeting of the attorneys in this city
about a year ago. The amount due
each freedman, man, woman or child,
is said to be about $27O.

SALOONS AT LEAvENwoRrH.
Records Show 1O5 Paying a License
of $25 Each.

Leavenworth, Feb. 2O.-A collection of
fines by the city shows that there are
some hundred and twenty-five open sa-
looms in the town whose existence is
winked at or ignored by the authorities
In return for this liberation the city
collects license, which is termed a
fine, of $25 per month, which at the
present rate amounts to $31, 500 per
year. This amount has been largely
exceeded in the past, for of late a num-
Der of saloons have closed, the proprie-
tors claiming that they could not make
a living, and pay $500 per year required
by the city. The present number of sa-
looms equals about one to every 2o2
of the pOpula ton of the city.
