REFUSED CASH FROM NEGRO.
Second Texas Volunteers Would No
Take Pay From John Il. Lynch.
(Washington Post.l


The War Department yesterday was
embarrassed over the receipt of news
that the Second Texas regiment. at
Jacksonville, had refused to accept pay
from n negro paymaster When the
regiment lined up for pay they were CON
fronted by Paymaster John II. Lynch.
who was regularly appointed by the
President to disburse army money. The
first man to face Paymaster Lynch was
the Colonel of the Second Texas. lie
refused to accept his pay. The others
who followed him also declined the
money. Paymaster Lynch became very
indignant but to no avail. The Texas
men refused to draw their pay from a
negro.
Mr.. Lynch Immediately referred the
matter to the War Department. At the
same time the officers and men of the
Second Texas regiment protested. Gen
eral Stanton, paymaster of the army,
said yesterday that the Second Texas
regiment would undoubtedly have to
, wait for its money, as Lynch had been
regularly appointed and that the money
had been misunderstanding to law.

The county chairman of the Populist
party called meeting of the primaries
of the various townships on Saturday,
the 10th inst, and so far as heard from
only one township was represented, and
that was represented only by the chair

This reminds Ills of the joke we once
heard the beloved and honored Vance
get off. He visited Buncombe county
fair and when asked as to the exhibits
of the fair, he replied that there was
nothing there except bull and Il pump
kin, and the bull got loose and eat the
pumpkin up and bursted the fair So
it is with the Populist primaries i'll Cas-
well. The primaries broke loose from
the chairman, and the chairman bursted

last sad rite of the great party that was
going to do so much for reform.

Cleveland five votes from this state and

Words OF Sir Walter Besant.

Sir Walter Besant, writing in the
London Queen, says:
"a Spanish lady has written to the
-ditor of the paper concerning certain
remarks of mine about the sympatllies
of the English race. 1 am very sorry
that any words of mine should have
given offense to any Spaniard. His
tory, however, cannot be set aside out
Of politeness. The Spanish nation
has always shown many great and
noble qualities; never at any time
have they failed to command the re-
spect of their enemies; but we cannot
help remembering that they were our
enemies from the middle of the Six
teenth to the beginning of the Nine
teenth Century; we stood Spr freedom
Of thought; they stood for authority;
we stood for the liberty of the people;
they stood for despotism. To recall
these facts, and all that they mean,
ought not to offend anyone. l take off
my hat with the greatest respect to
the Spaniard. Sir you are Il gentle
man by birth and long descent; you
are also a gentleman by breeding; you
are a gentleman of courage tried and
proved, and Of patriotism undoubted;
for courtesy. But, sir, you do not
think as we do; and in the present
crisis our sympathies are naturally
with the people who do think as we
do"

WEALTH IN MINE DEBRIS.
Old Prospector Makes a Fortune Out of
the "Tailinss"

There are some men in this world
who have to toll for a mere apology
OF Hving-and then there are others.
One Of these latter is Mr.. Luce, of the
Cargo Muchacho. Luce's experience
reads like a romance. For twenty
years he had knocked about the coast,
on the desert, in the mountains, pros
pectlng and mining and had finally,
by hard work and the closest economy,
managed to scrape together q few
hundred dollars.
One day on the shores of the Colo
RADIO some twenty miles north of Gu-
ma. he met an old Mexican. who told
him of a deserted mine some ten miles
back from the river and seven miles
north of Hedges. Iuces interest was
aroused, and he visited that mine, 10
find there an abandoned twenty-stamp
mill which had pounded away for
many years and finally shut down.
Luce examined the property and dis
covered that there was a small noun
tain of tailings, the accumulation OF
years, piled up behind the mill He
tested these tailings with cyanide.
Then he measured the pile roughly
and estimated there was over 100 600
tons of the stuff there. That night he
wrote to the president of the COM
pany in New York City offering ten
cents per ton for the tailings Oh
basis of 100000 tons. The president
read the letter, looked surprised. and
called the directors together They
read the letter. looked wise tapped
their foreheads significantly and
laughed to each other.
This poor fellow Luce should be
called goose" said one.
Deserts proved too much for him
probably gone daft" observed an
other.
Not one Of them thought these tail
lRg$-wrre worth anything and they
had almost entirely forgotten that old
mine out on the Colorado desert But
they answered the letter, telling Luce
to go ahead.
On receipt of the letter Luce imme-
1iately erected a cyanide plant, costing
him about 500 of his own and his
friends money. Then he hired fifteen
Mexicans and Indians and began
work on these tailings. One day some
representatives of the mine company
were returning from San Francisco,
and passing through the desert, they
thought they would visit the mine.
How are you?" said Luce. "Glae
to see you. By the way, we might as
well fix up our little accounts now
as at any time" and SO saying he
threw the astonished Gothamites a
check for $4,000. Then he explained
that in the nine months he had been
running the cyanide plant he had
cleaned up $4,000, and that there was
plenty of failing in sight to net him
100000 within three years.
