A Lock of Napoleon'- Hair.

A unique souvenir of the great Napo-
leon is kept in the family of his old
nurse and attendant, being now in the
possession of Prof. Bagley, Of Abilene,
Kan. He is native of the island of
st. Helena, and his mother was one of
the intimates of the guardians of Ma
poleon. When the Emperor lay dying
his old nurse stole to his side and
clipped from his head a lock of hair.
Part of the lock she gave 10 Mr.. Bag
ley's mother and she gave it to her son.
1t is kept in bottle and is black and
gray, with trace of brown. For forty
years the bottle has been kept In dark
room, that the hair may not be injured
by the light. There are about forty
strands In all. The relic Is held at a
great value by the possessor. He has
also some cloth from the coffin, medal
given by Napoleon and some other
minor souvenirs from the island of st.

Washington, March 29.-By direction
of General Miles, commanding the army,
orders issued today for the transfer, OF
the Twentyffth regiment of infantry to
Dry Tortugas. The fact that this re2i-
ment is made up of colored troops is re-
garded as significant in showing the pur-
pose of the war department to concen-
trate coIored troops in the vicinity of
Cuba, inasmuch as it is recognized that
the negro is better able to stand the Gu

Large Increase Noted In All Coun.

Washington, Jan. 1. = The directors
of the mint, from information now at
hand, say that there is substantial evil
dence that the worlds product OF gold
for the calendar year 1897 will approx
mate, if not exceed, $24o,O0O,0o0 an in
crease of nearly 90 per cent. over 1890.
The gold product of the United States
for 1896 was $50, 100000; for 1897 it will
approximate Sol, 100000, an increase Of
$s.4OO,Oo0.
The product of Africa for 1896 was
$44, 100000; returns received up to De-
cember, /, 1897, indicate that the gold
product of that country for the year
will be $5S,O00,0O0, an increase of $13,-
100000. Australasia for 1896, 45,20O,-
900; for 1897, the indications are that
it will not be less than $51, 100000, an
increase of S6,so0,oOO.
Mexico, for 1896, $500, 900; for 1897,
it is estimated that it will be $4,000, 900,

The indications for the United States
are that Colorado will lead in the pro

be less than $2o000,O0O. California will
follow with product of probably $40,

A DAMAGING STORM.
Pittsburgh and Allegheny sunez
Heavily from Snow.

Heavily from snow.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Jan. 1.-Pittsburgh
and Allegheny have experienced the
most disastrous snowstorm, in point of
damage to wires, buildings, traction
lines, ETC., In their history. The loss to
the Bell Telephone company in the two
cities alone with reach, it is estimated,
an aggregate of $4,000. The prostra-
ton of their wires in Indiana, Jefferson
and Westmoreland counties, where the
business is practically at standstill,
will run the eotal up to $125,000. 1t will
be weeks before perfect communication
will be restored. In this city the entire
police and fire alarm wire systems are
utterly useless. 1t is impossible to COM
municate with the police in many parts
Of the city and for the next three or
four days Pittsburgh will have to re-
turn to the olden-time plan in case of
fire or other disaster arrangements
have been made to ring the school bells
and blow mill whistles to spread the
alarm.
Natha. E. Eddy, assistant weather OBJ
server, however, may die from the eff
fects of injuries received while taking
the temperature and snow fall on top
Of the government building. He fell
from the weather guage building to a
roof ten feet below and from there to
another lower down. His collar bone
was broken and his skull fractured. The
physicians say his case is very serious.
Among others injured were Leo Camp
bell, colored driver. The horse he
was driving was instantly killed and
Campbell was badly shocked. His con-
dition is critical Joseph Daley, tele-
phone lineman was shocked to insensi-
bility and badly burned by live wire
coiling about his body. He may die.
John Gill, a telephone lineman, was
hurled co feet through network Of
electric light wires and severely in
jured. A number of others sustained
slight injuries. The loss to the two
cities cannot be estimated, but 1t will
reach away into the thousands. More
than 1000 men and 375 teams are hard
at work clearing the streets.

Madrid, Jan. 1.-The Impartial calls
upon the government to "repel every
action of the United States savoring of
Intervention in Cuba" and adds:
"There exists widespread sentiment
against the conduct OF the United
States, but we do not think Gen. Wey-
Ter is the most acceptable exponent
thereof" Continuing, the Impartial
criticises the government for stopping
kilograms referring to the generals
protest to the queen regent against
the wording of President Mckinley's
message to congress, and expresses the
opinion that it would have been to the
governments interest not to hinder its
publication. The TEMPO is of the opin-
ion that Gen. Weyler's protest demon
strates lack of discipline in the Spanish
army.
