HE HAS THE BRICKS.
A Foreigner Buys Much Copper and Little
Gold.

Samuel II. Graham, weight clerk at
the United States assay office in Wall
street, New York, found ON a recent
afternoon, when he had completed the
assay of five small metal bars of a
golden color which had been brought
there by Frenchman, that the metal
was base composition, made up chiefly
of copper.
When their owner. who said his name
was GARNER, called for them, in COM
pany with an interpreter, he became
greatly depressed at learning that they
were worthless, for he had paid, he
said, 10, 600 francs for them.
He had been induced, he added, to
invest 1000 in the spurious gold bars
by one Jose Gomez, whom he had met
at the Hotel de Paris, 20 christopher
street He sold what Gomez represented
as filings from the gold bars to jew
eler at rate which made the bars
worth So, 900 each.
GARNER, when he appealed to the
French consul, was referred to the po-
lice central office. There it was said
that nothing could be done for him.

Diet and Hair.

The relation of the diet to the hair
has been tested by good authority. A
diet consisting of beef, starchy materi-
ais and milk causes atrophy of the roots
and falling of the hair. Probably no ar
.icle of diet nourishes the hair so we'll
as oats. A bald headed Scotchman who
takes his porridge regularly is rarity.
The poorest diet for the hair is milk.
1t is claimed that the loss of hair as
the result of fever is largely due to the
habit of feeding the patient almost ex-
clusively ON milk diet, and it will be
interesting to note the cases where those
having fine heads of hair are known to
live principally upon vegetable and
grain foods.

hOLDAN'S QUEER FAD.

He Is Fond of Committing ''Fake" Sui.
cides aud Making Himself Notorious.
Young Arthur Clarence Holdan Of
Newark, N. j., has made several bids
for notoriety. The last one occurred re-
Gently nearly at midnight in the Trilby
Concert hall, when he interrupted a
soubrette who was singing by rising
and swallowing the contents of bottle
and following it with package of
white powder
A physician found that Holdan's
throat was irritated by the powder, the
character of which could not be de-
termined, and Holdan was sent to the
City hospital.
Holdan, who calls himself Clarence
Holdan, is 20 years old and lives with
his mother. He is an acrobat and says
that he is a circus performer. A few
weeks ago he notified several newspa-
pers in New York that he had fallen
from trapeze in Tony PASTORS theater
and was lying unconscious and badly
injured in Bellevue hospital. On in
curry it was learned that Holdan had
not been hurt there, and at Bellevue
no such patient could be found.
A few months ago Holdan tried, or
pretended to try, to swallow carbolio
acid in front of department store in
Newark and was locked up at police
headquarters, where he made several
alleged attempts at self destruction.
AT the hospital it was said that Hol-
dan had swallowed laudanum. but was
in no danger and would be discharged.

PALEFAcE AND INDIAN.

me custer AlaSsacre Necalled by q Re

Twenty years ago, shortly after the
Custer massacre, an officer in the Unit
ed States army under General Miles
was taken prisoner by band of the
Nez Perces Indians. This man was Lieu
tenant Lowell Fl. Jerome of the Second
cavalry, stationed at Fort Ellis, Mon.
On the same day detachment of SOL
diers captured Chief Joseph, the leader
of the marauding Indians who were
fighting General Miles at the time.
News of the two captures at once
found its way to the hostile camps, and
after three days spent in conferences
Lieutenant Jerome was exchanged by
the Indians for Chief Joseph.
On a recent sunny afternoon, in the
small cabin of Buffalo Bill at Ambrose
park, Brooklyn, these two men again
faced each other for the first time since
that memorable evening, 30 years ago,
when their captivity ended.
Chief Joseph was on a visit of inspec-
ton to see that his braves in the Wild
West camp are happy and contented,
and Lieutenant Jerome called on him
at Buffalo Bills cabin. Chief Joseph
smiled broadly, and through the inter
prefer said that he ON the memorable
occasion had been good friend of the
white man, for he knew that were the
Indians to harm the man from the Sec
o1d horse Cavalry General Miles
would kill him. and" he added, 81

Lived Months With a Broken Neck.

Lewis b. Jarrett of Perkiomen juno.
ton, Pa. who had his neck broken by
a fall from ladder while picking ap-
pies, died recently, aged 45 years.
Jarrett lived seven months with q
broken neck. The most eminent sur
geons and physicians of Philadelphia
examined the case, and it was at one
time thought that his life might be
saved. A few weeks ago he began to
grow worse, and death ended his suffer
ings.
A post mortem examination showed
that the vertebrate was broken entirely.
From his neck down he was completely
paralyzed and had no feeling in his
body since the accident, although he
could talk and had all his faculties. ---

Prince Kung, then a. sort of regent for
China, i'll his conversations al reIing
with General Grant, talked with ear

ma and Japan. This led to a message
from the prince to the mikado, an ex-
traordinary incident little known in the
histories, and the whole business in
time to be so managed by the general
that war between the two nations was
postponed. AT Nikko, Japan, General

They sat in a little temple (the after

to Prince Kung and the Japanese prime

There was a bold, bad man making
things hot in Texas town a few days

hunting suit, a big sombrero, and he
was waving a small fieldpiece in his
hand and yelling for somebody to wade
in and get pulverized.

before anybody could stop him he gave

The bad man saw him coming and
tried to climb over the courthouse, but
the little drummer nabbed him and said
something to him. The bad man ran his
hand into his pocket and gave up some
thing. Then the marshal and the police
closed in, and the desperate went off
with them as gentle as lamb.
When the little drummer was ques-

THE POPULISTS
OF WASHINGTON
Send Their Congratulations to Mckin-
ley by Concurrent Resolution.
STATE EXPENSES REDUCED
Boards Of Directors Of State Institu-
tions Wiped Out and One Gene
raj Board Created.

olympia, Wash, March 4--wasaing-
tons popuhst Legislature tocay sent Its
congratulations to Precedent Mckinley.
This courteous act was performed Dy
the passage Of a resolution. a copy Of
which was sent TO the president. which
he probably received soon after lna1-
guration. The resolution was intro
duced by Senator Dickenbach repubII-
can and II is considered remarkable
that the popullsts should have sup
ported IT in view Of the fact that It
expresses the hope that through the
new administration may come the
prosperity so necessary to the people.
The resolution passed the senate
unanimously. and there were but few
dissenting voices raised in the house,
and those were the middle-of-tne-road-
ers. A motion was first made TO lnded-
nitely postpone. but this was voted
down. when the republicans explained
that II was matter Of courtesy. Some
grumbIIng since however. has been
heard among the more radical popu-
lists, who believed they were ''jobbed-
by the fine wording Of the resolution.
The senate devoted nearly all OF to-
day to the reading Of the public rev.
enue bill and the consideration OF the
correction amendments submitted by
the committee since it was introduced.
and adjournment was effected until to-
morrow before final action was taken.
In the interest of reform, and the
reduction OF the state expenses the
house devoted two hours to the consid-
GRAFTON Of the Roberts bill to abolish
the boards OF trustees respectively OF
the Steilacoom and Cheney insane asy-
lums, the school for defective youth. the
reform school. the soldiers home. and
the board of directors of the penlteD-
tiary. under one board to be created
and known as the state board Of con-
troll. The pOpulists gave the bill un-
divided support and 1t passed with an
emergency clause. The bill provides
that the governor shall appoint Eve cit
zens, four to serve without eompensa-
ton and one at salary of 1850 a
year and expenses, who shall be known
as the commissioner of public institu-
tons, to constitute the board Of control
of the institutions mentioned above.

DURRANT WILL APPEAL.

san Francisco, March 4.-Dlstrict At
torney Barnes. who conducted the pros
ecution against Theodore Durrant for
the murder of Blanche Lamont in En-
manuel church. thinks the murderer
will be hanged within l2O days. lie says
a remittur will be handed down within
20 days. Then Durrant will ne taken
before the superior court for sentence.
The defense will probably ask for a
rehearng before the supreme court, hut
the motion will probably be denied. The
defense will then be compelled to go
to he governor. as the court of last
resort 1t is considered unlikely that
the governor will interfere with the
execution of the sentence.
Durrant's attorneys have threatened
TO carry the case to the federal courts,
but upon what grounds cannot be
guessed.
