Success in "Striking' Titles.

The yalus of striking title to an ar. ticIe or story is understood by no Amer

 Known Men" have been ridiculed and paraphrassd from one end of the country to the other. Bu; 1t has all bsen grist for the Philadelphia periodical Just now the title of "Tns Inner Experiences of Cabinet Members Wife" is attract. ing attention. JulIa Msgruder's new love-story is given the title of "A Heav. en- Kissing Hill"-- taken from Shakes. pears. really, but who but the journal would have thought of it? Marion Craw ford's new story is called "Tbe Dead Smiie"--. title good enough to sell any story. "rhe Mao I Nsver Married" is tao ked to new series. "The Man Un- der Thirty-fve" made the reputation of Lillian Bell in this magazine "My Lit- erary P4ssions," under which Mir How. ells wrote m The Journal, served at once to attract attention. Julian Hawthorne, sends strong story to the magazine, but with poor title It is immediately re. cbristened "rhere are no Wolves in Ireland." Yet each title adopted by this clever magazine fits the story and is really the b,s; caption for it. "A Min. ister of the Wor Id" started that story on it's success. "Mr. B ,echer as I Knew Him" was an inimitable title for Mrs Beecher's memoirs of her husband. "Ths Gsn.Iensn Who is Going to Die" is the ciptIon for forthcoming story by Ciar4 Morris Talk about cleverness in titles, what magazine is such pastm IS ter in the art as is The Ladies Home JournalP And newspaper man knows how different this art of title akIng Is. Bot nothing IS so valuable in attracting the eye of the pubic.

WASHINGTON, July 16.-The Secre-
tary Of the Inetrior has received infor-
nation that special forest agents have
elected more than $1,000 sheep from
the Yosemite Park. California. and will
in a short time probably succeed in re-
moving the others now on that reserve.
Secretary Bliss has heretofore re-
quested the detail of troops to the sew
eral national parks in California, but
the soldiers so assigned were removed
in order to accompany the Philippine
expedition.
Many complaints We're received con-
corning the invasion of sheep men, and
special inspectors We're sent to take
charge of the parks, and were subse-
quently designated acting Superintend-
ents, with directions to employ from
ten to twenty-four men as assistant
forest agents. These men have sue
ceeded in ejecting the sheep. The Sec
retary of War has also detailed an Off
Ger and ten men of the Utah Volunteer
Cavalry to patrol Yosemite, Sequoia
and General Grant National Parks.
These men have been told to report to
the acting Superintendent for instruc-
tions, and it is hoped that by their as
sistance the destruction of the forests
by fire may be prevented. The Interior
Department has used every effort in it's
power to protect these parks.

TO BEAT THE LAW.
Mining Stocks to be Reduced to
One-Fortieth Their Par Value.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 16.-The
legal representatives of twentyfour
active Comstock mining companies
met to-day and arrived at a conclu-
sion on the action necessary to lessen
the burden of taxation imposed by the
new war revenue law. The plan is to
reduce the par value of shares, while
maintaining unchanged the number of
shares, and so TO cut the amount of
tax due to at least one-fortieth of the
amount required under the law at pres
ent
The par value of the stocks has not
been definitely decided upon. 1t is,
however, all but a foregone conclusion
that it Will be $3.50 a share. That IS
to say, one-fortieth of the present par
value. The idea of this is to accommo-
date the highest assessment now made,
as we'll as TO reduce the war tax. The
Civil Code limits the amount of any
one assessment to 10 per cent. of the
amount Of the capital stock after one
quarter Of the stock has been sub
scribed. One-tenth of 50 80 is - cents,
the maximum assessment now levied.
Two thirds of the stockholders must
assent TO the reduction in the value of
the stock and then sixty days notice
must be given before the change can
go into effect.

CHICAGO, July 16.-State Presidents

SEATTLE (Wash), July 16.-Seven-

gold dust and drafts estimated to be
worth 5000 600. OF this amount, $780,
600 was in dust.
The largest individual amount of dust
was brought by E. NJ. Sullivan Of Los

The largest individual amount Of dust
and drafts was carried by f. levin Of

range all the way from 5000 to S10,-

enough to reach home.

A PERIOD OF PROSPERITY.
The "Statist" Hopes it Will Not Be
Ruined by Unwise Legislation.

LONDON, July 16.-The "Statist" to-
day says it thinks the worlds wheat
crop for 1898 will be $4,000, 900 quarters
larger than the crop of 1897. reaching
about 325, 100000 quarters
Continuing, the "Statist' says: 1--WE
think America has entered upon a Pc
riod of great prosperity, which will last
for years if no great folly is committed
We hope the Republicans will have the
firmness to resist the politicians and
refuse to allow unwse currency legis-
lation.'
The Spectator is Of the opinion that
the whole Of the European press, with
the Times" at its head, is discussing
the reasons which make for peace from
a mistaken point of view. 1t adds:
THE fact that the longer the war is
protracted the harder the terms, does
not appeal to Spain. Spain is not a
modern, but medieval State Sup
posing the worst, that Cuba, Porto
Rico, the Philippines are lost, and that
Cadiz and Barcelona are blockaded,
where in all that series of misfortunes
is there ruin for Spain? Her people are
dependent upon agriculture and mining
and not upon trade. Reputation of
the debt would ruin a class, would en-
rich the army by leaving more for it's
pay and it would tighten taxation The
only argument for peace is that the war
is futile one"

A brief but lively domestic drama

The woman screamed, the children

the cause of the trouble.

could not help her retain the custody
of the children she changed her mind.
The money she paid for her tickets was
refunded to her, and Officer Bagley ac-
