HANK WAS ALL RIGHT.

But the Squire Was Doubtful About His
Integrity Being Unassailab1e.
81 never took to man as I did to
Hank Suffer He moved in here with
out maxim no noise about it, and they
hain't no better neighbor in tn county,"
1t was Farmer Waddy that was doing
the talking, and the squire of the town
ship only interrupted to ask whether the
farmer had ever missed any chickens or
shotes before Hank settled in the yicin-
ity.
"No, I never did" admitted Waddy,
''but | never lost nuthin of tn Kind
afore you got that new man of yours.
I'd trust Hank Suffer with my life,
squire"
Don't be too confidin, " insisted the
squire. "Many's tn apple I've seen that
looked perfec' on tn outside, but was
rotten at tn core Hank seems all right,
but wouldn't be surprised no day to
see him fetched up afore me. Things
hain't right i'll this communerty since
he jined it,"
"That's so, but there's million
things happened outside of Hank S
comm. His folks couldn't eat all tn
things what's stole, an he don't sell
nuthin.''
"Watch him. insisted the squire.
And he took his leave with fine imi-
tation of the man who looks after the
morals of the entire neighborhood.
Farmer Waddy did watch, and he
hired others to help him watch. If this
were fiction, it would be the squire or
his new man who was trapped. But
truth is an exacting mistress. 1t was 81
worthless fellow living in a log hermit

hasn't the slightest bearing on the case
that he was selling all the plumber to

CHURCHGOlNG IN ICELAND.
Back Country Folk Who Travel Many
Miles to Divine Worship.

Jessie Alderman, i'll her articles on
"Three Women In Iceland" i'll The
Woman's Home Companion, tells how
she attended a country church i'll the
northern part of the island.
1.-THE Sabbath day was full of inter
est, for we had not attended service i'll
the rural districts. In the early morning
I've betook ourselves to the front of the
house to watch the country folk assem-
BILE. In the distance we saw them ford
ing the river in a long line, and i'll an
other direction men, women and chill
dren rode slowly over the mountains
down to the farm. What the Sabbath
day means to these people few can re-
aliZe. Some of them never see face be-
sides those of the members of the family
from one church day until the other.
What wonder, then, that they began to
assemble fully two hours before church
time? A peculiar form of salutation pre-
walls outside of the cities. With this we
had not yet been made fami Cur, and
our establishment can well be imagined
when we saw the men dismount, EN-
brace and kiss each other. | learned
later that this is the usual form of salu-
tation among men in the inland dis
tricts
1.-THE hour of service arrived, and, in
company with the preacher, who wore
high silk hat, a loose, flowing gown
buttoned from chin to hem and great
white Elizabeth ruff around his neck,
we entered the church. From the back
seat we had full view of the congrega-
ton, and, not being familiar with the
language, the time was passed in medi-
tation on the situation.
In the pulpit the pastor was assisted
into a long white robe, which fell over
the black one, and down his back hung
a large surplice of bright velvet upon
which golden cross was wrought. On
the altar two great candles about yard
long and three inches thick shed dim
Light. These We're the especial charge of
an official who gave out the hymns and
between times snuffed the candles with
an old time pair of shutters. After
church the worshipers dispersed, and
many of them did not reach their homes
until night -

years of the ups and downs characteristic
OF the prospector, is stranger than tic'ion.
1t is singular, but 1t seems to have
been known that the man who wan
dered over the fearful desert at the
Antipodes, at last finding riches
that has astonished the world, for long
time lived at the New Wisconsin Hotel,
Montgomery and Pacific streets, this City.
Like the average prospector he went forth
in the summer 10 see what he could find,
and in the winter, for a part Of the time
at least, rested himself in the City.
g. P. Hurst, a mineraIogist OF Cool
gardie, himself millionaire mine owner,
and his brother, c. +. Hurst, who is inter
es,ed in a mum Der of gold properties, have
arrived. here, and report that Bayley has

tipodes. which his luck or skill in mining
caused 10 rise.
So great was Bayley's popularity in
CoolgardIe, by reason of the wealth which
he was the cause of uncovering, that
within ten minutes after it was known
that he was deaf $40 900 was su bscribed 10
build a monument 10 him. The great es-
tate is now being settled up, and Mrs.
Bavley Will arrive here by steamer
in few weeks and will again take up her
home here. The Bayleys had no children.
Bayley, according to the story that is
now given here, was q '499r. He came
from one of the Eastern States, and soon
after his arrival went to the gold fields of
Sawyers Bar and Columbia He took his
chances there with the pan and rocker for
some years, and then went TO Shasta and
Siskiyou counties
Though he sometimes worked by the
day in the mines tor others, he oftener
worked for himself. He was a typical
pros pector and miner, and was never so
well pleased as when away among the
mountains, perhaps scores OF miles from
any town.
When the rush commenced to Virginia
City because of the phenomenal wealth of
the Comstock, BayIey joined it. How
long he remained there is not yet defin-
i:ely known. The nexl place he washeard
OF was on the desert in Southern Califor-
MA probably where Rands burg is now.
There he was prosecuting search for big
Lodges.
About this time, however, the Ceur
d'Alene excitement began and the miner
set off for that new district. He made
several locations and 1t is said had some
good property there. But there was a
strike among the miners over the question

From Sydney he crossed to Melbourne
and took a little house, where he installed
his wife, and remained for a little while
till he could get ready to go out in the
gold district. He went to Bailarat and
thence to Clunes Clunes is where the
deep mines are and BayIey saw that he
could do nothing without a great deal of
money.
"He therefore went back to Melbourne.
There he got map and carefully looked
it over TO find where the deserts w-re
marked on it. He had got the idea
stronger than ever, from his experience
on the Mohave desert in Southern Cali

He got a partner and set out. In a
few days he came upon the site of what is
now Coolgardie and located mine which
he called Bayley'3 Reward. And it was
reward indeed for the effort hat had been
put forth, for in month he and his part
ner had dug out Is, 500 ounces of gold.
"Bayley then set out with an escort to
bank the money, and left his partner In
charge. By this time the news had got
out and men began to flock in: they
came so thick that the partner had to de-
fend the gold by the use of a shotgun
How adjoining claims were located
and how the property increased In wealth
is known. Thousands on thousands OF
locations were made about them ana
many other rich mines were opened
Coolgardie and other towns sprang up.
1.-THE output of the Bayley's Reward
continued to be enormous. Gradually
different interests were sold and the
money put with previous dividends.
When Bayley died he still had sixth in
terest in the mine, and this has since been
sold for $165, O00."
1t is said that Bayley and his wife,
when they left here on the Mariposa, went

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL,
9US Broadway, April Is. {
The veterans have at last succeeded in
Obtaining some decorations from the
United States Government for their plat
al Mountain View Cemetery. This after
noon q committee of Grand Army men
went out to the cemetery to arrange for
the location of the old and historical war
materia! which arrived here yeste rday.
For long time the veterans have ex-
pressed desire to have few pieces of
ordnance with which to give character to
the final resting place of their comrades.
Many official obstacles were in the way
and finally an act of Congress was neces
sary to enable the veterans to receive from
Mare Island the decorations they wanted.
The howitzers with their shot and shell
were a part of the armament OF the United
States ship Inde penGence that was brought
around the Horn in 1855. ana has since
been on this coast, and for many years
past has been landmark at Mare Island.
Three of the cannon were used by the
Independence when that vessel assisted in
quelling the riots in Panama. Another of
the old guns that will henceforth be as
silent as the grave near them is that
which for forty years has been fired at 8
O. clock aboard that OLD vessel.
These decorations ere almost the last of
their class that were ever used in the
United States navy. The Marion and
Aler. are the only vessels now in COM
mission that carry such weapons, and
there is little doubt but that they will be
speedily changed if it should ever be
necessary for these two peaceful war vessels
10 use them.
For two years Superintendent A. P.
Smith of the cemetery has been trying to
obtain this material. He first made ap-
plication tc General Ruger, then in Gem
mand of this military department., but as
that officer was ordered East he turned
the matter over to his successor, General
Forsyth. With the assistance of Con-
gresham Hiiborn and Senator Perkins
the necessary bill passed both houses of
Congress. Through the courtesy of Adj
miral Kirkland, in charge of Mare Island,
the steamer Unadilla made special trip
to this city with the armament.

and weighted with sufficient split shot to keep

OF thick sole leather, about three inches long,
mounted with triangular hooks; and, also,
many other devices of similar nature, that
could be cast and retrieved through the water
