To British Capital Are the Valuable Gold
Mines Of British Guianu.
That British Guiana is not a '.worth-

tween the Essequibo and the Orinoeo
delta, in particular, does not admit Of
depreeiatory. description, seems to be
established by the, results of the first
crushing of quartz at the BariTna
mines recently visited by Sir Augustus
He1nnling. These results aregrerorted
to Show d yield Of 776 ounces sof.gold
during the first ten days crushing.
TO understand the Importance Of this
Intelligence it should be stated that
hitherto the only gold mining carried
on in this eolony--if We EXCEPT tn alb
normal attempt in the COS, has been that
known as placer mining, where the
pay dirt has been waehed in "battels"
or toms" The quartz has been left
untouched, partly from want of en-
terprfsc and .caIital in erecting the
necessary machinery III quartz-bearing
localities. Machinery has, however,
Of late been erected in the Barirna re-
gion, and the first workings, as was
predicted would be the case by those
who knew the district, appear to have
been SO successful as to prove the value
of the reef. This fact, by itself, has
changed the prospects Of the country.
Until the machinery was actually at
work The colony was in the dark as to
whether the quartz would be relnuner-
atiye, and whether, after all, the coan-
try would have to depend for it's ex-

The rarlfr outlook.

There is observable among the repub-
liean leaders chastened disposition to
let sleeping tariff dogs lie The country
is being given assurances that only such
changes will be madeas are necessary TO
produce revenue sufficient for the gov
ernments needs. In the far west, where
the tariff issue was worked by silverre-
publicans to get votes against silver,
this retreat of the McKinleyites from
/ sMcKinleyism will cause disappoint-
ment, but the people as a whole would
like to believe that business is to be
given rest from tariff uncertainties.
However, though it Is manifestly the
wish of the president-elect and his adj,
visers to avoid radical action, the trusts
that want more protection for the In
crease of their power and profits will
have to be reckoHed with. The patriotic
gentlemen who compose these thieving
confederacies will demand all the fruit
that can be gathered from the victory
which they disinterestedly fought to
win for the national honor. The instant
the work of making changes in the tariff
is begun their agents will be in Wash
mgton insisting on recognition The
hope OF the nation is that election tothe
presidency may have bred a new sense
of responsibility and of justice in the
mind Of Maj. Mckinley Z. Journal.

MIND READING MADE EASY.

There Is Much TricEery In the Faculty
Some Men Claim to Possess.
One of the most surprising tricks of
| clairroyance has been explained by a
| practitioner to this effect: The per-
former is not only blindfolded, but Is
further covered with a sheet or q flag
| or mantle not too thick to admit light
enough to read by. Squares Of pre-
| pared pasteboard are distributed
| among the audience and they are re-
quested to write any questions that may
occur to them. These questions are
then answered by the clairyoyant,
greatly to the surprise of his auditory.
Incredible as it may seem the means
used to successfully perform this trick
are quite simple and easily commanded.
The whole secret lies in the fact that
the squares of pasteboard furnished the
audience to write upon are provided
with transfer paper secured, colored
side down, on both surfaces. Transfer
paper is thin paper covered on one side
with colors that can be transferred to
any plain surface, upon which the paper
is laid, face downward; with pressure
any mark made by appoint upon the un-
colored side of the paper viii be printed
upon whatever surface is beneath lit.
1t can be bought ready prepared, quite
cheaply, at many stationers' and at ali
supply shops. To make the paste
board rests provide yourself with stiff
pieces of pasteboard or bookbind-
er's board, somewhere about six
inches square. Lay upon each
square of white paper, the same
size, and cover this with transfer
paper, face down, paste down with a
strip, of paper at the edges; turn the
pasteboard over and treat the other
side in the same manner. tits we'll to-
pretend to exc out an supply
OF these with a music book or two, or a
portfolio and an atlas, which are all
nearly covered first with white or light
co3ored paper and then with any sort of
thin paper thoroughly gone over on the.
inner side with red chalk or black
crayon.
When the performer is alone in the
adjoining room he has only to take off
the outside paper from the pasteboard
squares, or uncover the books which
have been brought there after being
used by his audience, memorize the
transferred writing or simply cat it out
with knife or scissors, slip it into his
pocket and read it in the subdued light
that penetrates his enveloping drapery.
1t must be remembered it is not at all
necessary to read all the strips, some
may BE too il1egible TO make anything
of, though the prepared paper If well
made transfers the slightest mark in
seribed upon it. You can at any time
excuse yourself, saying you are fa-
tigued, On the power has exhausted it.
SELF, or that there is an antagonistic
sphere emaaating from some one in the
audience that prevents the full exercise
of your clairvoyant faculty or some
thing of the kind and close the seanee
triumphantly after having read such
strips as you care to. The trick, as far
as j knew, is brand-new one, ,eeasiIy
performed and very effective " it,

Future Of the Democracy.

A heated and in many respects bitter
campaign, conducted largely on new
lines, has closed with the election of Me-
KinIey by a large majority In both the
electoral college and the popular vote.
Under the administration Of MIR. Nc
Kinley we may look for an era Of trusts
and high protection. His name is
identified with an excessive tariff, and
there is nothing in his history To show
that he is unfriendly to oppressive cor-
porations and aggregations of capital.
Many Of the grievances OF which the
people have complained, and complained
justly, are likely to be increased before
1900. 1t therefore becomes the demo-
Gratis to quit chasing rain bows and get
together. THE democratic party has
sustained severe defeat, but It has gus-
tanned severe defeats before and risen
triumphant from it's gall. 1t ear do il
again. It is now, as IT has always been.
the party Of the people, of popular
rights, and though it may wander from
the path and be beaten at times, destiny
and the course of civilization are with
tn. Y World.

He could not see It, but the audience did, and

the pianist fed in dismay and the organist
stopped playing. Mr. Davies equal to the
emergency. Walking TO the side OF the stage
he inspected the efiigy gravely, then COM
manded silence and rebuked the audience for
its discourtesy and bad manners. Great excite
ment followed but after gentleman from the
audience had upset the efiigy and repeated calls
had been made for the completion OF the pro-
gramme Mr. Davies started afresh and was
received with tumultuous enthusiasm. 1t
