$40, signed Frank Moshner, upon
Geo. Huber, and later in the evening,
after enjoying several rounds oi
drinks with companions, left for
parts unknown. Mr.. MOshner had
be, u absent from the ranch all day,
but upon returning at night came to
town to look up his man, and al
once heard of the check passed by
Steckert. A warrant for the horse
thief and fOrger was procured from
Judge Mcfarland and officers began
search, though without result up to
this time. Monday morning the
horse taken by Steckert returned to
the MOshner ranch, having on only a

supposed that the theft camped
somewhere near for the night and
after taking off the saddle tied his
horse by the bride, which, however,
proved insufficient to hold him.
Steckert is quite sure of a free ride to

 Whatever objection may be taken to the earl of Cadogan as viceroy of Ire land, it must be admitted thlat he has managed to conciliate his political op- ponents to a greater degree lthan any of his predecessors at Dublin castle. He has succeeded in restoring social intercourse between the Mansion house and the castle, and for the first time in quarter of a century Dubpin's lord mayor has been dining and hobnob- ping with Ireland's viceroy.
 ***x Lord Carlisle's son, Hubert, who was killed the other day at Nhartoum, shared the peculiar views of his faith CT on the subject of temperance. In days gone by the cellars of the earls of Carlisle enjoyed a European fame. But few years ago the present lord, to the horror of all gourmetsl gave a unique demonstration of his teetOtal principles by actually destroying all the contents of the celebrated cellars of Castle Howard.
 The opinion was expressed that if he had wished to get rid of his wine he might at least have given his friends and the public an opportunity of ac- quiring them by purchase, and that his action in spilling the contentS of the vats and pipes and in smashing the bottles was an unnecessary piede of fa- natic vandalism and a crime of "lese 1 gourmeterie

 1 Lord and Lady Carlisle, although a most united couple in some respects, are divided on the subject of politics, and nothing has been more amusing at general election times than to find Lord Carlisle and his eldest son, Lord Morpeth, canvassing the county in be- half of the tory candidate, whilst Lady Carlisle and her son, the late Hubert Howard, would be conducting an equal fly active canvass in behalf of the radi- cal candidate. This would not, how ever, prevent them from meeting al- together at the same dinner table in the evening and comparing notesl

MEMOIRS OF
 MGR. CAROCCI.

Great perturbation reigns just at the present in vatican and high eccleslas- tical circles at Rome in consequence Of the impending publication of the me- moirs of Mgr. Carocci, who died three months ago. The prelate in question was one of the most characteristic and well known figures in patrician society of the Eternal City, and was almost the only dignitary who retained ito the last the picturesque garb worn by great per sonages belonging to the church to- wards the close of the last century, writes Marquise De FOntenOy in the Washington Post
 Notwithstanding his rank his birth, his remarkable cleverness and his learning, he was treated with much coldness, both by Plus TX and Leo XIII, who objected to him, partly on account of the frivolity of his existence, but mainly in consequence of his bitter, sarcastic speech and sneering manner.
 The excellent monsignor felt himself to be unjustly treated by the two pon- tiffs, and revenged himself by relating all kinds of stories and gossip concern ing them. For over half a century he frequented salons of the cardinals and of the Roman aristocracy, gaining fol himself little love and much fear by the wagging of bitter and witty tongue.
 After his death the fact became known that he left several volumes oi memoirs, which his heirs have taken steps to publish.
 Now fifty years of private, nay very private chronicle of the doings of the papal court, and especially of all the foibles and stories concerning the members thereof, cannot possibly con- sititute fit reading for the general pub lie at a moment when a conclave is imminent. There is hardly a single cardinals name which does not figure i'll the pages of these memoirs in such a manner as to expose him either to ob- loquy or to ridicule.
 It is, therefore, not astonishing that the dismay in ecclesiastical circles al Rome should be intense, and that both heaven and earth are being moved alike by the vatican and the patrician society at Rome, to secure and destroy these memoirs before they can be placed upon the market.

THIS BUSY WORLD.

For some time there have been ru- mors in the tea trade that the duty of 10 per cent imposed as a war meas ure was about to be revoked. The war measure provided that such duties should be in force until 1900, but it has been reported that, in view of the fact that the government is no longer in need of the funds, this tax would be done away with. In eastern importers tea districts there seems to be a pretty general opinion that the tea duty had better remain.

Pig Iron for China

The Chinese have recently become
extensive purchasers of Philadelphia
made pig-iron, the demand for which
has heretofore been supplied by the
English, Germans and Belgians. A
consignment of the above iron is now
being taken on board the British ship
Perseverance at this port for shipment
to Shanghai. She will not take out a
full cargo, owing to the dead weight"
character of the shipment, but will fill
the remaining part of her cargo space
with refined petroleum and miscellan-
eOus materials. Besides this, the iron
will act as stiffening to the vessel on
her long run to the far east Instead
of taking stone AS ballast, the iron will
serve that purpose, and thus the ex-
pense of loading and discharging tho
ballast will be done away with, and
the vessel will earn freight charges on
what heretofore has been a dead loss
to every sailing vessel.-Philadelph

MISSION OF DON oUlxoTE.'
Written to Ridicule Absurd Stories OF
Chivalry.

Chivalry.
From the London Mail: The OBJ
ject of Cervantes in writing don Quix-
ote' was, as he himself declared, to
re,5e- abhorred of men the false and
absH:d ste -tes contained in the books
of chivalry. The fanaticism caused by
these romances was so great in Spain
during the sixteenth century that the
burning of all extant copies was earn
esiiy requested by the cortes Tor leg
isiature of the realm). To destroy a
passion that had taken such deep root
among all classes, to break up the
Only reading which at that time was
fashionable and popular, was a bold
undertaking, yet one in which Ger
vantes succeeded. No books of chival-
ry were written after the appearance
of Don Quixote," and from that time
those in existence have been steadily
disappearing, until now they are
among the rarest of literary curiosities.
This romance, which Cervantes threw
SO carelessly from his PEN and which
he only regarded as an effort to break
up the absurd fancies about chivalry,
has now therefore become the Oldest
specimen of romantic fiction and one
of the most remarkable monuments to-
genius. Ten years after its appearance
its author published the second part
of "Don Quixote," which is even bet
ter than the first 1t was written in his
old age, when in prison and finished
when he felt the hand of death pressing
cold and heavy upon him:
