FORTUNE FOR A VASE.
Celebrated Pieces of China, Their Value
and Their Owners.

Celebrated Pieces of China, Their Value
and Their Owners.
Ten thousand guineas paid by the
Earl of Dudley for an antique vase and
ever of early Sevres china was the lar
gest sum ever paid for vase. 1t was
afterward sold to Baron Schroeder for
5000 guineas. Five thousand guineas
was paid at the sale of the Lynes-
Stephens collection in 1895 for an owl
form vase of old Sevres porcelain, paint
ed with horsemen and figures. after
Wouvermans, and a trophy of arms in
two medallions with futed neck and
handles formed as gilt figures of boys,
by Dodin and NORM, l534 inches high.
The price included a pair of oviform,
fiat shaped vases of comparatively small
value. apart from the one above de-
scribed, the three being one set which
formed part of the Earl of Pembroke 8
collection.
In Mr.. jones' collection of pottery
and porcelain at the South Kensington
museum there is an egg shaped Gros
Bleu Sevres vase with medallions of
Cupid and Psyche which was acquired
for 5000 guineas The celebrated Bar
berini or Portland vase, now preserved
in the gold chamber of the British mu-
scum, was purchased by Sir. w. Ham
ilton for 81, 900, and afterward sold to
the Duchess of Portland for Ell, 800. A
historical vase was recently put under
the hammer at Christie's. 1t was one of
a pair presented to the Marquis of
Montcalm (the defender Of Quebec) by
Louis XIV. The last bid for this splen-
did work of art was 81, 900. One of the
largest vases in the world was present
from the late car to the city of Paris.
1t is made from an immense block OF
jasper, is eight feet high and il valued
at e1, 500. London Tit-Bits

KAPlOlANPS ESTATE.
The Queen Dowager Bestowed Her Entire
Property on Her Nephews.

The Queen Dowager Bestowed Her Entire
Property on Her Nephews.
One of the largest realty transfers re-
corded on the Hawaiian Islands was
made on Feb. IL, when Queen Dowager
Kapiolani decided in fee simple to her
nephews, Princes David and Cupid Ka-
wanahoa, all her property, both real and
personal. The exact value of Kapiolani' Is
estate is unknown. The queen dowager
receives no consideration. In the trans
fer it is stipulated that the princes will
pay all outstanding debts against their
aunt, including a mortgage on the prop
erty. She is also to receive the sum of
$1,000 month during the remaining
years of her life.
Kapiolani made the transfer for two
reasons. One is that her nephews, who
were made princes by the late King Ka-
lakaua, should have something more than
their titles, and, as Kapiolani has had
two strokes of paralysis, and her neph-
ews, who are her favorites, would be
the heirs of her estate, she preferred to
turn the property over to them while
she is alive.-New York Tribune.

A Dawson City Idyl.

Dawson City Idyl.
Dawson City mining man lay dying on the
ice.
He didn't have woman nurse-he didn't have

But o comrade kneeled beside him as the sun
To listen to his dying words and watch him

The dying man propped up his head above four

And said: 81 never saw it thaw at ninety eight

"Tell my friends and tell my enemies, II you

That this Dawson City region is no place for

Tell my sweetheart not to worry with a sor.
For I'm going to warmer and a far more

Took a severe Cold After the Big
Fire.
After the big fire in Cripple Creek,
took very severe cold and tried many
remedies without help; the cold only be-
coming more settled. After using three
small bottles OF Chamberlain Cough
Remedy, both the cold and cough left
me, and in this high altitude it takes a
meritorious cough remedy to do any
good.-G. B. HENDERSON, Editor Daily

without such munitions and with the
immense risk and difficulties they incur
In securing scanty supplies from the
feeble filibustering expeditions they not
only hold their own against Spain, but
actually imprison Spaniards in their
forts and cities, 10 Is obvious that pos
sessing war appliances which will place
them in this respect on the same footing
as the Spaniards themselves, they will
exterminate all the Spanish columns
daring to leave their fortified places and
eventually invest them in the principal
cities.

instead of hampering the Cubans in the
United States in their work of sending
expeditions to their brethren, if in
stead Of prosecuting them in so drastic
a manner as was done during the adj
ministration of Mr.. Cleveland, if in
stead of keeping, at enormous cost to
this country, the American navy and
the police watching the Cuban junta
and its agents. the Cubans here had
been unmolested the possibility which
now confronts us of an international
war would not exist. The Cubans, with
no more than 10000 men in the field,
and with all the odds against them,
have proved in three years that they are
more than match for Spain. With
regular and ample supply of war ma
terials they can free their island with
out any other help from abroad.
In war between Spain and the
United States it is beyond doubt that
the whole Cuban army would be on the
American side. There is no doubt Ell
Their that we would give them all the
rifles, cartridges and cannon they need.
They would then take care of the land
operations. We would only need to
blockade the Spaniards by sea and let
them starve.
OF course the Spaniards would make
an attempt with their navy to break
that blockade. The contest would then
be only naval one. But with their
capital only 80 miles from Key West
and 60 from Dry Tortugas, which would
probably be the center of our naval oper-
ations, is it reasonable to suppose thai
the Spaniards could relieve Havana Ell
Their by stealth or by force? In few
days the proud Spanish stronghold, with
It's Cabana fortress and its MORO cas-
tie, with it's mined bay and its famous
torpedoes, would be at our mercy and

II
HASTE opos.i Lad and All she rims. Say,
channesy Depsw.
The railway profession presents more
attractions for young man than any
other line Of business says Chauncey M.
Deoew in Railroad Men," It has
greater opportunities for advancement
and its employment 10 more permanent.
To succeed in It in any department re-
quires health, brains. honesty and equip
ment. The young man must make up
his mind that II he would rise in the
profession he must never question the
kind of work that is put upon him. the
hours which are required Of him or the
places, agreeable or disagreeable, TO
which he is assigned.
Railway organization is essentially
military. because upon the ability, vi
tally and integrity of the vast number
of men in the various positions working
tremendously together depend most Of
the internal commerce of the country,
the prosperity Of business, the activities
of communities, great and small, the
hundreds of millions of passengers
The young man who proposes to enter
railway service should first decide
whether he will take his chances for q
career in outdoor or indoor work. If
outdoor work, which is in the operating
department, he will be immensely as
sisted if he has had the opportunities
xuh IN hn
schools. In these days of thorough train
ing it is almost impossible for young
man of ordinary education to get ON in
competition with the graduates of the
Sheffield Scientific school at Yale, the
scientific schools of Columbia, the spe-
cial education of Cornell, the big adj
vantages of the Troy Poly technic and
the Stevens institute, and the instruc-
ton given in many other of the schools
and colleges of the United States.
If he selects indoor work, he must
make up his mind that much more will
be required of him at first than in COM
mercial lines. If he is in the treasurer's
and shows special efficiency
and intelligence, when a vacancy occurs
in the freight department, in any dis
cussion that should happen between the
heads of these departments, he is almost
certain to be drafted for a better posi- |
ton by the traffic manager, and vice |
versa.
Railroading differs from no other
business or profession in it's beginnings |
The salary is small. The work is hard. |
It is only the few who by cheerful |
readiness at all times to perform their
,wn tasks and to stay several hours
md if necessary all night-to meet the
of the office or to do the |
work of the lame, lazy and incompetent
Ittract the attention of their superiors
md are marked for promotion.
In the service every ones eye is on
very one else. There is generous ap-
of comradeship, at the same
lime there is severe criticism of the con-
luot and character of fellow employees
md officers. The moment an officer be-
comes careless of his duties, inattentive
md out of reach when wanted, his
hances for promotion are over, and the 1
'ccident Of a discharge or displacement
{ imminent.
There is but one rule of success in (
ailway service, and that is, no matter
low high you get, once a hustler always
hustler and hustler until you die or
esign.
