in command of the Behring sea patrol
fleet, that the herd will reach Point Bar
row and the imprisoned whalers before
the middle of February.

RAMBUSCH LITIGATION.
First Of a Series Of Suits Tending
to Straighten Out Dodge
County TangleS.

Juneau, Wis, Nov. 12.-[Special /
New proceedings to straighten out the
doings of the late w. I. Rambusch took
place in court here yesterday, and it is
known that several actions of the same
nature will be instituted On September
q, 1894, William Bartel, town of Low
ell farmer, executed a mortgage, it is al
legged, in favor of Mr.. Rambusch for the
sum of $1,000 and inside of two months
Rambusch assigned the mortgage to John
t. Brown, prominent Beaver Dam
man. Neither Brown or Rambusch ever
notified Bartel of the assignment, it is
claimed. On September q, 1896, Bar
tel, supposing that Rambusch was still
the owner of the mortgage, paid him $500
principal and $50 interest and took a
receipt therefor. When Rambusch alb
seconded it was discovered that he had
never paid over this money to the owner
of the mortgage, Mr.. Brown. The latter
demanded payment from Bartel of the
whole amount of $1,000, together with the
accrued interest, and upon his refusal to
pay, an action to foreclose the mortgage
was begun. In this case as in most of
the cases growing out of Rambusch's
fraudulent mortgages, the question as to
whether Rambusch was the agent of
holders of mortgages is about the only
point to be determined.
But Bartel, by Malone & Bachhuber,
his attorneys, decided to commence en-
tirely new proceedings. and accordingly
he rendered Brown the $500. which was
done, together with a satisfactory price.
and demanded of him that he satisfy
the mortgage. This Brown refused to
do and Bartel sued him under the pro-
visions of Section 2256, Revised Statutes,
which provides that any mortgagee after
the full performance of the conditions of
a mortgage shall. for the space of seven
days after being thereto requested, refuse
or neglect to discharge the same, he shall
be liable to the mortgagor in the sum
of 500 damages, and also for actual
damages.
The case was tried yesterday and judg-
ment against Brown for $l27 was en-
tered.
There are any number of cases similar
to this, and it is expected that like pro-
ceedings will be commenced in all of

HIS BONDS WILL BE FORFEITED.

Trial at Fond du Lac.

Fond du Lac, Wis. Nov. 13.-[Speciall
Hamilton Haner, who was arrested
here the early part of last summer on
the charge of receiving stolen goods
failed to appear in court yesterday morn
ing when the criminal calendar was

tain that he has forfeited his bonds. The

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS,
They Are Strongly Favored by
Postm aster-General Gary
In His Report.

Washington, D. c.. Nov. 15.-The next
annual report of PostmasterG General
James A. Gary to the President was
made public last night.
It's feature is the strong advocacy Of
postal savings repositories, as a scheme
over which Postmaster-GeneraI Gary has
worked for many months in the forna-
ton of plans to present to the President
and Congress.
He says the time is ripe for their es-
Establishment and that the adoption OF a
Well-QrganiZed system would confer
great boon upon large number of people
and ultimately be of inestimable benefit
to the whole country.
The report reviews in detail the opera
tons Of the various branches of the de-
partment. The report on the subject Of
postal savings banks in brief follows:
MANY millions of dollars are undoubted-
ly secreted by people who have little
or no confidence in ordinary securities and
monetary institutions organized by prl-
vate citizens. 1t is dead capital, but If
it's owners could be inspired with absolute
confidence in the security Of an invest
ment, it is altogether probable that the
bulk of this fund would find it's way into
the channels of trade and commerce. If
the government undertook this task the
service would undoubtedly be gladly ac-
cepted by the people, Their faith in the
government is unbOunded. Their little
savings, which, separately, could hardly
be put out at interest, would amount in
the aggregate to Il sum that could be
invested to their advantage.
at would tend to cultivate thrift in
large class; realizing the advantage of
depositing with the government instead
of wastefully and uselessly expanding. it
would tend to better relationships; bring
into closer relationship the government
and its citizens and developing practical
and enduring patriotism. This growth of
patriotic sentiment and good citizenship
constitutes powerful appeal to states
manship to make way for these benef-
cent consequences. The proposition is an
accomplished fact in nearly every coun-
try in Europe, in the British dependen-
cies of both hemispheres, and even in
Hawaii -

NAMES OF PEARLS.
About Five Thousand Small Ones Can be
Bought for SO.

Pearls are named according to their
size. The very large ones are called
paragon pearls; when the size Of cherry,
cherry pearls; medium are called piece
pearls; smallest, dust pearls. The oval
and long are termed pear pearls, while
BADLY formed specimens are known as
baroques. The value of pearls varies,
OF course, with the quality and general
colors, but the piece, seed and dust pearls
always have market price.
The cherry and paragon are sold on an
entirely different basis. If many fine
ones are on the market at a time, they
may be had at reasonable rates. Some
years they bring almost any price. The
last two years, especially, the dealers
say, there has been a great scarcity of
fine pearls, although there is no falling off
IN the supply of the small stuff.
When a pearl exceeds one karat in
weight it is sold separately. Under that
weight they are sold in parcels, and be-
come less valuable as they become small
er. The smallest dust pearls collected
average about 5000 to the troy ounce,
and are at present rated at about So per
ounce. If, on the contrary, one paragon.
weighing an ounce Tor $50 karats) was
on sale, it would bring any amount from
$40, 900 to 100000. according to quality
