LUCK FAVORED O'LEARY
Another Instance of the Bold Burg
lars Good Fortune Related by
One of His Victims-Booty
not yet Recovered.

Among those who called at police
headquarters yesterday to have a look
at Burglar Dan O'Leary was Edward
w. Ives, of 1886 Jefferson avenue. Dun
more, whose residence is to be added
to the list Of those visited by the ubiqui-
tous tramp-thief.
Il want to see him and have him
pick the winner Of the fight for me,
said Mr. Ives. He IS certainly the
best guesser l have heard of. LucLyT
Well l should say So"
"Three months ago my residence was
entered through a basement window
and a quantity of clothes and linen
goods stolen. Neighbors all round us
were receiving visits from the myster-
ious and daring thief and as he was
not like lightning averse to striking the
same place twice, l expended $65 on a
burglar alarm system, bought a Win
chester rifle for s2S and a 3S-calibre
Colts army revolver for S12.
81 had the alarm connected with
every entrance to the house from the
coal hole in the cellar to the dormer
window in the attic and fixed the busi-
ness end of IT on the side of my bed.
"One window OF my bed room com
mands a view of the field from which
Mr.. Burglar would likely approach and
also overlooked the basement wind wv
through which he had made his en-
trance. / had the lower sash pianed
and oiled so that 1t would slide easily
and noiselessly and planting the revol-
yer on the sill and the rifle against
the wall nearby, I-well. to make the
story short, one night l forgot to set
the alarm and l hope l never sp I'D
another hundred dollars in burglar
protection If that same fellow didn't
come through that very same window
and carry away bag full OF old
clothing, table linen, towels AMI the
like"
Mr.. Ives was allowed to have a chat
with O'Leary and a pleasant confab

Strike at an Avoca Mine.

About seventy miners of the Hollis
ter and Bowman mines at Avoca struck
Thursday for higher pay. The strike
affects about 200 employees. The min
ers have been getting SIPS per cubic
yard and claim that at this rate they
are unable to make a days wages
They say they are satisfied to work al
that rate if the vein should become
feet thick. But as it is now, most oi
the vein is rock.
The miners want % per yard. The
operators have refused the demand.

The Increasing Stock of Gold.

| Philadelphia Times.
The director of the Mint has an in
structive article in the Forum upon
the increasing supply of gold in which
conditions upon which the silver agita-
ton of twenty or ten or even five years
ago was ostensibly based have given
place to contrasted facts that absolute
| ly destroy the former premises. For
twenty-five years up to 1885 the aver
age annual production of gold had
diminished; in the five years from 1881
to 1885 it was but 500, 116, 900; for the
ten years ending with 1890 it was but
SlO6 ,OO5. $50 In that year it increased
to SI1e, 84S, 700, and has been steadily
and rapidly rising since, till in 1897
the worlds output of gold was $751;
5O4 300, and in 1898 it Is estimated at
nearly $500, 10000 u
The remarkable feature of this in
crease is that it is not due. as In the
case of California to the discovery OF
new superficial deposits, but rather to
the development of scientific proc esses
of deep mining, by which the produc-
tion of gold has been made system
attic industry that is likely to continue
indefinitely. OF course the largest
development is In the South African
fields, which are new, and whose out
put has grown from $4,000 in 1884
to $50, ZOO, 600 in 1898. But the Same
kind OF development is going on every
where. Since 1890 the Australian out
put has been raised from $50. 600 600 to
1854, 600 900, and that of the one state of
Colorado alone from 81, 600, 600 to $25,-
900, 600, which is nearly as much as the
product of all the rest of the United
States at the former date.
What, Mr.. Roberts asks, will the ad-
vocates of the free coinage of silver do
in 1900 when they find themselves con-
fronted by q gold output for that wear
of $3.50, 600 600 or S40O, 600 900? In 1873,
the year of the famous CRIME" the
gold output of the world was 1876, 2OO,-
900, and tina. of silver, reckoning it at
the ratio of 16 to l, was SS1, 800, 600; to-
gether. SITS, 900. 900. In 1896 the com
bined output of gold and silver, less
the amount consumed in the arts, still
587, 1916. In 1900, as VIC have seen, the
gold output alone will far
exceed this sum. So "when
Mr.. Bryan comes into the field in 1900,
he will find the additional supply of
money for which he contended in 1896
furnished in gold. Will he go on af-
firming that the supply of money has
been cut in two, and that there has
been no business revival since 1896, or
will he embrace the fortunate oppOrtu-
nifty to drop the subject. on the plea
that the end he desired is accomplish
ed and that the coincident revival OF
prosperity has vindicated his theOr-
ies?" No wonder Bryan is reaching
for another issue.

STRICTLY OPPOSED
To the Passage of a Law BY the
State Legislature Reducing
Railroad Rates to 2 IL Cents d
Mile

Yesterday while the reporter was
making his rounds Joe Grant, the sill
ver-tongued orator of the G. b. ma
chine SHOP, took occasion to deliver
the following timely address:
You may put me down as being
strictly opposed to the passage OF a law
by the state legislature reducing the
rate of railroad fares to q cents per
mile in the state of Texas, and I want
you to remind Messrs. Bridgers and
Jones, the two representatives from
this end of the state that they were
elected to their positions by rail-
road men and that all railroad men are
opposed to the passage of such law
and that they should exert their efforts
to kill every bill of the kind that makes
it's appearance. In my estimation the
kind are a few long-haired individuals
who would like to attend populist
convention in some portion of the state
next fall, and if the reduction of mile
age was secured the chances are
that they would ask to
be carried over the road on a
pass 1t is not the people in
the state of Texas who pay the
most of the railroad fares,
The travel between here and San An
tonic would not pay for the coal burn
ed in the engines if there were no
tourists on the train. It is as true as 1
tell you that the only ones who favor
q bill reducing the railroad fare in
Texas, q lot of superannusted
stiffs who, if they had any distance
to go, they would hitch up oxen and
take their time travelling. Railroad
trains run too fast for them and they
are afraid they'll fall off. The rail-
roads of the west can afford to nav
good wages and they are doing it, but
just as soon as the legislature reduce
she fare the railroad companies will
reduce the wages. Please paste
that in your hat for future re-
ference
