New YORK. Jan. 24.-The police are
looking for Thomas Ryan, who disap-
peared from his home January II, while
presumably mentally deranged. Ryan
was night Waterman in Harlem bank.
Christmas morning he is said to have
found a sachel containing $40, 900 under
one of the counters of the bank. He
notified the president, who, it is said,
received Ryan's find without comment
or without rewarding the finder. Ry'
ans wife asserts that he hoped for a
better position at the bank, and the
disappointment caused his mind to
give way.

mining, carrying and selling combina-
tion, of which j. Pierpont Morgan is
the presiding genius, by which the

NoTuING that has occurred since he
became secretary of agriculture has
given Mr. Wilson half as much gratif-
cation as the results of the experiments
that have been going on under his di-
recton in Iowa and Nebraska in the
treatment of hog cholera by inocu-
latiou, for he thinks the discoveries
that have thus been developed are
worth 500, 600, 900 year to the people
of the United States. The experiments
have been eminently successful and
justify the belief that the disease can
not only be cured but prevented at a
triAing expenditure Of money.

HIGH LIFE IN SANTIAGO.
I wish I could take you into some
of the big houses of Santiago and show
you how the wealthy Chileans live.
Every one here is now talking Of hard
times, and I am told that many Of the
supposedly very wealthy people are
mortgaged to the eyes. However that
may be, they spend enormous amounts
of money and live like very princes. 1
have been in houses here which have
upward Of fifty rooms, and which were
furnished as extensively as some Of
the palaces of Europe. Many of them
have their billiard rooms and ball
rooms. They contain fine paintings and
statues and elegant furnishings. The
curtains in one palace on the Alameda
cost 100000, another house is repro

these portales. Many are shopping,
and the desire for a good bargain is
quite as keen here as at home. The
most of the women wear black gowns,
and their heads are clad in black man
taS. The younger girls, drape their
mantas coquettishly around them, so
that they form sort of bonnet about
their beautiful. faces. These are the
pretttest women I have so far seen
In my travels. They are tall and slen-
der, and many have beautiful forms.
Their compilations are not so dark as
those Of the ladies l saw in Peru, and
they appear to have more style and in
tellfgence than the girls further north.
But let us take look at the prices.
We see that many Of the stores have
their goods marked, and that among
the lowest figures are 81, 81 and So
a yard. Over there is a store where
the silk hats are marked $50 apiece,
shoes are selling for SO and SIS a pair.
These prices, however, are In Chilean
money, which is worth just about one
third as much as ours, so that the cost
of good goods is about the same as at
home All imported articles are high
er. For instance. a lady told me yes
terday she paid $50 a pair for the
American shoes which she bought In
Santiago, and that imported bonnets
cost $50 apiece At the hotel where
l stop the price Of good room is 81
and upward a day, and this includes
only two meals. 1t is the same in the
restaurants, and in most Of the stores.
Books are especially dear, and
