was arraigned before Alderman Ruddy
last night on the charge Of obtaining
goods under false pretenses. Adam
Olskosky, the South Washington ave.
nue. meat dealer, was the prosecutor,
and in the allegations he made he stat
ed that the defendant received from
him goods under the pretense Of own
ing property and in default of non
payment the ordinary procedure of the
law in civil court matters would pro-
cure for the butcher his money.
Mr.. Olskosky alleges that he ascer'
tained that the defendant was not a
freeholder, hence the arrest. The al
derman held Shinisky in $500 bail and
in default he was committed to the
county Jail.

Compared with Them, Gold Belongs
to Those of the Baser Kind.

From the Washington Evening Star.
THE majority of people when asked
10 name the most precious met2,s
usually mention gold rs first. platl-
mum as second and silver as third"
said the proprietor of large assay
and refining establishment. IF asked
to name others some might add nickel
and a few aisminum to the list. Now,
let us see how near the truth they
would be. Gold is worth about $3.50
per pound troy, platiuUrI Si30 and sill
Yer about $l2. Nickel Is worth about
60 cents and pure aluminur from %
cents to 81.
1--WE will now compare these prices
with those of the rarer and less we'll
known metals. To take them i'm alpha
betical order, barium. .he metal witch
Davy isolated from ITS ore. har.'te. in
1903, sells for $3.50 a pound, whcN il
is sold at all. ana calcium is wc"'h
s1,S00 pound. Cirium Is a shade high
er; it's cost is $3.50 an ounce, or Sl,9gO
per pound. These begin to look like
fabulous prices but they do not reach
the highest point. chromium being 5000
Cobalt falls to about half the price Of
silver, while didymium, the metal iso-
as calcium. Then comes Gallium,
which is worth $3.250 an ounce. with
this metal the highest price is reached.
and It may we'll he called the rarest
and most precious Of metals.
"Glucium is worth $3.50 per ounce. in
dunn $3.50, iridium S65S a pound. jan
thanium $11j. and lithium $3.50 per
ounce. Nidium costs SIPS per ounce
Osmium, palladium. platinum. potas-
sium and rhodium bring. respectively.
$640. S4OO. $50, So and S512 per pound.
Strontium costs s12S an ounce. tantaum
$144, tilurium 50. thorium $272 vana-
dium $500. yttrium $l44 and zincOnium
$3.50 an ounce.
Thus we see that the commonly re-
ceived opinion as to what are the most
precious metals is quite erroneous. Bar
ium is more than four times as valu-
able as gold, and gallium more than
162 times as costly. while many Of the
other metals mentioned are twice and
thrice as valuable. Aluminium. which
cost sS and 81 ii pound in 1890 is now
produced as cheaply as are iron, zinc.

One Cent a Mile for Troops.

The rate to be made by the railroads for
the transportation of troops during the war
with Spain will be / cent per mile. The
roads had decided that it would be double
that. but the government has formed a diff
ferent opinion, and the chances seem to be
that the opinion of the government will pre-
vail. Yesterday the roads received from
Washington information to the effect that
the government officials did not think that
in the present war they should be called
upon to pay more for the transportation of
troops than during the civil war and that
it would no. therefore pas over / cent per
mile. which was the rate made for such
traffic between 1861 and 1866. Thu roads vera
given to understand that the government
was desirious tina. they should make the
rate OF their own free will. but that in any
event II would not pay over / cent. The
matter will be discussed at a joint meet
ing of the Eastern and WeSternSlires which
doubt what rate will be made.
All the general passengcr agents of the
roads running out of Chicago are of the
opinion that the war has already injured
their traffic. and they look for it to injure it
still further during the summer. 1t is sup
posed that If 1t lasts as long as the summer
months THAI it will in great measure in
Jure the summer tourist travel, particularly
to the coast resorts. The Western roads
were particularly delighted yesterday over

agents are hoping for a naval fight in the
atlantic which will. they say. place them

A Creditable Work.

An official OF the Toledo. st. Louis & Kan
sas City says that more credit is due to r.
b. F. Peirce as receiver of the road than he
is likely to be given. When he took
charge OF the property over 100000 was due
employees and the force was badly democrat
lied, never knowing when they were to re-
cetve their pay. The first day Receiver
Peirce was in Toledo he ascertained the sit
nation and found there was a large sum
due employees. He at once made arrange
ments with one of the Toledo banks to
casa the checks as sent in. and on the first
day that he was receiver every mans
check was made out ana mailed to him,
the check being accompanied with notice
that hereafter every employees check would
be mailed TO him on the 14th of each month.
that he could draw his pay on the 18th from
the agent or place where he received the
check, and since that time there has been
no failure to carry out this promise. Since
the present receiver took charge the road
bed has been placed in excellent condition,
also its power. and, in fact. its entire
equipment. Among other things. five hun
dred new cars have been purchased and
paid for.
