COLE IN CONTROL.
The New Coiner Of the Mint Assumes
His Duties Without Any

Dan T. Cole took his seat at the coin
er's desk in the Mint yesterday morning,
hung up his hat on the letter press and
gave the signal for the manufacture of
bright new golden double eagles to be
resumed. There was no ostentation In
connection with the new coiper's assump-
ton of duties and no cha ~es in the
working force beyond the twenty ladies
whose dismissal was announced in yes
terday's Call. Their successors will not
be announced until the list of names sent
on; to Washington has been approved by
the Treasury Department and returned
to this city.
There. is: no patronage whatever con-
nected with Mr.. Coles new office. Even
his confidential clerk is protected by the
civil service rules and is. a legacy from
ex-Coiner SPOTS. The fact that he is a
stranger and Democrat is somewhat
fatiguing to the new official, but Cole
says they will soon become acquainted
and he hopes in. the course of time the
clerk will experience change of heart
and become converted. So thoroughly is
the Mint governed by civil. service that
even Superintendent Leach's secretary is
q hold-over from the Daggett regime.
Consequently Mr.. Cole says there Is no
likelihood of there being any change in
the working force.

Caspar Whitney, the Well Known
:. Writer, Leaves Shortly for the
Former Island Kingdom. -:

Caspar Whitney, the writer, who is best
known; possibly, through his contributions
to the literature of sport, arrived here
yesterday, almost direct from Cuba. He
was present at the taking Of Santiago and
witnessed the stirring. scenes in the dis
tressed island of Cuba during the war.
''The. great mistake of the authorities
at Washington he said yesterday, was
the delay in getting the major portion of
the troops out of Cuba when their serv-
ices were no longer required. 1t was Gen.
eral Skaters purpose to get his men
away from the fever-infected island i'm
mediately upon the surrender of Santi-
ago. At thfs time there were about 800
men Ill.
1.-THE men were not removed, but were
placed in an undesirable camp. AS a
direct result, there were several thousand
men on the sick list within a fortnight
Those who were well and those who were
i'll were not segregated, so that the fever
spread rapidly The same conditions pre-
vailed on the transports"
Mr. Whitney is en- route to Hawaii,
where he will make close study of the
islands for Harpers. He. passed through
Siam hunting big game. After a short
stay there he went to England and France
to study the sports of those countries.

Charles Lenehan's Novel
Way of Purloining.
HIS EMPLOYERS SUFFERED
WAS AN IMPORTANT WITNESS
IN THE DURRANT CASE.
An Appeal to Hoffman, Rothchild &
Co. Not to Prosecute-Will Be
Booked on Three Charges
To-Day.

Charles Lenehan, young man employ
ed by Hoffman. Rothchild e. Co., whole
sale clothiers, now reposes in the tanks
at the City Prison, a victim to his own
cupidity.
While working in the well known es-
Enlistment, 1t is alleged, he robbed it of
clothing amounting to nearly a hundred
dollars and pawned his stealings, the pro-
ceeds of which he devoted to fast living.
His plan of operations was a novel Que,
and he might have continued it had he
not become careless. Choosing an eX-
penSive pair of trousers he would go TO a
side room and slip off his own and put on
the stolen article. He would then draw
his inferior piece of clothing on and bold
ly walk out of the store on some pretext
or other. Vests received the same treat
ment, and no suspicion was aroused by
his actions. Being familiar with she DIFF
ferent departments in the store he chose
from such piles as would not be missed.
His service in the store, although a
short one, Melted him many dollars t. -ol-
Lenehan became holder in his opera
lions until articles began to be missed.
Mr.. Rothchild, a member of the trim,
could not locate the leak. He then APP
pealed to the police for aid, and Detec-
tives Ryan and O'Dea were detailed to
look into the robberies.. They were given
good description of the garments stolen
and quietly made inquiries IN different,
pawn shops. They located part of the
stolen clothing in a pawn shop on Third
street, and secured description of Lene-
han. They then kept watch on the store,
and finding that the latter answered the
description, followed him. and captured
him in the act of plying his practice.
They took him to the City Prison on
Monday afternoon and lodged him in the
tanks awaiting further developments. 1t
was thought that others in the store had
been likewise guilty. but Mr.. Rothchild
claims that this was the first time the
firm found clothing missing Lenehan
comes of a good family, and every effort
is being made to quietly settle the mat
ter. Mr. Rothchild has been appealed
to not to prosecute, but as yet he has not
arrived at a decision.
Lenehan was brought into prominence
during the trial of Durrant. He testified
for the defense that the ring claimed to
have been pawned by Durrant was
pawned by himself. He will be booked to-
day on three charges

A VALUABLE DISCOVERY
The secret of q Miner in the. IklOnI
dixie Gold Fields.

The Secret of q Miner In the. lelOnb
dixie Gold Fields.
The Klondille is responsible for the
concoction of a chemical compound
which promises to revolutionize mining
methods in every section where winter
puts a stop to operations every year.
The nature of the chemical is a Sc
cret, which the inventor Will divulge TO
no one. The chemical is simple and
cheap, however, and can be manufac-
tured upon the ground where the mine
is located. The dlscoverer will locate
several mines in the spring, and devel-
op them the following summer and
winter. No matter how cold the atmos-
phere, it will not interfere with the
thawing properties OF the wonderful
fluid.
The value of such q discovery IS
readily apparent. 1t practically CON
quers the Inconvenience of cold and ex-
treme temperatures, and does away
with the necessity of thawing the
ground by the slow and tedious meth
cd of building fires and allowing them
to thaw out the frozen earth. The IN
ventor estimates that the chemical win
melt the earth to the depth Of two
feet. Continual application Of the fluid
will allow the miners to keep continu-
ously at their labor.
Besides using the fluid for developing
whatever mines he locates, the in
ventor will take up enough material to
supply the other miners at reasonable
prices. -

A DELAWARE GRADUATE.

Clarke Churchman, son OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Caleb Churchman, OF Grubb's'
Landing, and who has several rela-
tives in this city, was a member Of the
class that graduated from West Point
Military Academy, at Highland Falls,
New York, yesterday afternoon. The
stern requirements of the service per-
mitted nothing but short ceremonies
attending this hurried call to duty. The
exercises are usually held under large
tent in front of the chapel on the>green
plain in the middlefof June, but yes
terday the chapel was the scene OF the
presentation OF the diplomas. This is
the first time since 1861 that any class
has been graduated before the end of
the academic year. There was none of
the many pleasant features which usu-
ally attend graduation of the class-nO
hop, no farewell dinner.
Mr. Churchman is expected home this
evening, but will likely remain only a
very short time, as he has been recon-
mended for artillery duty by Colonel
Ernst, superintendent OF the academy.
