large, and the distinguished speaker failed to arouse any demonstration of approval for his assertions. He denounced the War Department, and claimed the army scandals were directly due to Republi- can incompetence. He declared that the war revenue bill put burdens on the poor; that beer was the poor mans drink and should not have bee2 subjected to addi- tional tax. He also said that the popular bond issue. was fake, as syndicates got agents to buy 1t up for them.
 The Senator declared that the conven- ton which nominated Gage was not a Republican convention, but Southern Pacific gathering. He had nothing against Gage. but thought Mcguire was friend of the people and they should give him a vote of approval at the coming cleo tion. The speaker claimed that the sin gle tax was not an issue, for it was not in the platform, but in the next minute he claimed that Mcguire was entitled to support on his own personal merits.
 White was not at his best, as he was suffering from a severe cold. Much com ment is made at the failure of Governor Budd to attend any of the Democratic demonstrations in his home city.

TURNED ON THE GAS.
George Huber, Baker of Auburn
 Attempts to Commit Suicide.

George Huber, a baker of Auburn Placer County, yesterday afternoon at tempted to commit suicide in the Ahlborn House, on Grant avenue. by inhaling H. Illuminating gas.
 About two weeks ago Huber arrived in this city and rented a room in the house where he attempted to end his life. Shortly after o'clock yesterday after noon one of the clerks in the house, who was passing Huber's room, detected the odor of escaping gas. Failing to arouse the occupant he forced an entrance and discovered Huber lying on the bed in an unconscious condition. He had turned on the gas after plugging the keyhole, but failed to close the transom.
 Huber was at once removed to the Re ceiving Hosiptal, where he was treated by Drs. Well and Rinne. It is believed he will recover.
 Huber would give no reason for his rash act other than that he was tired of life and wanted to die. He has a wife and three children living at Auburn, who have been informed of his attempted suicide.

NORTH CAROLINA HISTORY.
SOME FACTS Nor WELL KNOWN OUT
SIDE THE STATE.

New York Herald.
The people OF North Carolina have
been unfortunate in some respects.
They have been but little addicted to
boasting of their achievements. While
other States have been conspicuous on
gala days and in the historical records
of the past the people of North Caro-
lima have, for two hundred years, been
making history without seeking to
blazon forth their deeds to the world.
Mr.. Bancroft, whose duties led him to
investigate the facts of North Carolina's
history, has recognized much that the
people of this State have accomplished
in the cause OF human freedom and in
the vindication of rights ever held dear
by free-born citizens, and has, in his
immortal pages, chronicled some OF the
events that mark the advance OF North
Carolina upon the highway OF civil
liberty and religious development. But,
unfortunately, the people in this State
have been so isolated from the great
centres, have had so little communlca-
ton with the outside world, have been
so destitute of those channels of inter-
course that belong to more favored
sections, that the great important and
unQuestioned facts of their history are
unknown to the people at other States.
While the sklrmishes of the New Eng
land States are known and read OF all
men events of earlier and of quite as
significant character that. happened in
North Carolina are only known to gen.
tlemen beyond its borders, who, like
the late Colonel Peter Force, of Wash
ington Mr.. Bancroft, President Well
ing and few others are fond of his
torical investigation or haYe been led
by some circumstance to explore some
of the partially known historical terri
tory that belongs to this people. In
view of these facts it becomes an in
teresting question what North Caro-
lima claims and what can be established
beyond all cavil or question? Briefly
thus:
That the first Englishman who ever
planted foot on the American CONT
nent landed on Roanoke Island in the
month of July, 1854.
That the first child born OF English
parents on American soil was Virginia
Dare, who was born on Roanoke Island
In 1886, after whom the county Of
Dare is named.
That the first resistance to the stamp
act was at Wilmington. N. c., in 1765.
That the first blood that was ever
drawn in the defence of the peoples
rights and in resistance of tyranny, was
at Alamance, on May IL, It'll.
That the first meeting that was ever
held in any of the colonies to declare
separation from the British command,
to organize for armed resistance, was
in North Carolina, in the county OF
Mecklenburg, in the month of May,
l775-nearly fifteen months before the
national declaration.

The Horrors Of Ahsinthe.
Temperance Cause.

| Temperance Cause.
Paris absinthe is made by simply
pounding the leaves and Towering tips
of the great absinthe, along with an
gelica root, sweet flag, or calamus,
leaves OF dittany of Crete, star anise
seed, and few other aromatics. II
this were all it would be we'll for France,
but with all this many other adulter=
atoms are practiced.
The man drunk with absinthe is
often seized with a painful sense of
something forgotten or omitted. He
is to do something, knows perfectly
well what he is to do, starts to do it,
and, just at the moment when 1t is to
be accomplished, torgets his intention.
Perhaps he finds himself in some ride
ulous position-ln a store without
knowing what he went In for, on the
steps of house forgetting what he
rang the bell for, in cab unable to tell
where he wanted to go.
The first warnings are the develop
ment OF violent temper, decrease of
physical strength and muscular CULVER
ings, the hair thin and the face wrink-
led and salIow. The Frenchman at
this stage is aged and feeble before his
time. His beard is white aud his back
is bowed, while his wife is straight and
young. One often sees couples of this
sort walking on the Partisan boule-
wards.
Horrid dreams introduce the second
stage, and a constant exaltation, varied
by fits of mental depression and anx-
iety, which require constantly increas-
ing quantities of the drink to exercise.
The digestive organs are finally COM
pletely deranged, and the drug which
temporarily produced appetite in the
end destroys it. The horrid dreams OF
the night become terrifying hallucina-
tions OF the sight and hearing. Then
come giddiness, brain LESSONS, paralysis,
idiocy, and the grave.

one of these latter is Mr.. Iuce,of Crago
MuchaCho. LuCe'S experience reads
like a romance. For twenty years he
had knocked about the coast, on the
desert, i'm the mountains, prospecting
and mining, and had finally, by hard
work and the closest economy, man
aged to scrape together few hundred
dollars.
one day on the shores of the Colo
rado. some twenty miles north of
Yuma, he met an old Mexican who told
him of a deserted mine some ten miles
back from the riWr and seven miles
north of Hedges. LuCe's interest was
aroused, and he visited that mine, to
find there an abandoned twenty stamp
mill which had pounded away for many
years and finally shut down. He then
learned the story The mill was on
leased ground. The lessee had mined
the property on shares ana had done
fairly well, although the ore was not
entirely free milling. one day the vein
"pinched out" The mining man was
sure he had simply lost the lead, and
that il was there all right, but the
owners refused TO put up cent to help
him find ii again, and, tired of living
on the desert, he threw up the whole
business and left.
Luce examined the property and dis
covered that there was a small noun
tain of tailings, the accumulation of
years, piled up behind the mill. He
tested these tailings with cyanide.
Then he measured the pile roughly and
estimated there was over 100 600 tons of
the stuff there That night he wrote
to the president of the company in
New York city, offering them 10 cents
per ton for the tailings on a basis of
lOO,O 600 tons. The president read the
letter, looked surprised and called the
directors together. They read the let
ter, looked wise, tapped their foreheads
significantly, and laughed to each
other.
This poor fellow Luce should be
called goose" said one,
Deserts proved too much for him

Not one of them thought those tail
