Annual Assessment Work.

The time for completing annual as
sessment work on unpatented mining
claims for the year 1899 is nearly at
an end, and it is an appropriate time to
call attention to some facts in the mat
ter, says the Mining and Scientific
Press. After discovery the locator is
allowed certain periods to perfect his
location, and the period of one year
from the first day Of January next sue
ceeding the date Of location in which
to perform his 500 worth o. assess
ment work. Failure to perform the
assessment work does not of itself in
validate the location, for it remains in
tact until relocation is made by another
party, when the rights Of the prior To-
Gator cease Immediately. The only
way in which an original locator may
save a claim upon which he has failed
to perform the required annual labor is
by resuming work before any other per-
son claims the ground by virtue of re-
location-and the assessment work so
commenced must be completed, the
claim-holder using reasonable diligence
in Its performance.
A locator who has allowed his claim
to become subject to relocation by rea-
son of failure to perform the assess
ment work cannot save it by reloca-
ton, as this would permit him to hold
his claim the same as though It were
the original location and by repetition
ne might thus hold the claim indefi-
nitely. and as the law does not limit
the number Of locations a person may
take. a single individual might locate
and control a large number Of claims
In q single district and hold them to
the exclusion of all others without per-
forming any work, and this is contrary
to the purpose and intent Of the law.
AS an original locator cannot treat his
own failure to perform or resume work
as the basis of a new and valid reloca-
ton, 1t necessarily follows that one of
several locators seeking to obtain the
entire title by reason Of the failure Of
any of them to fulfill the requirements
of the law, is likewise prohibited from
making such location.

scented her by the Brahmin in her
right hand, Rance walked three times
around the bier and waved it over
her head. The Brahmin next handed
her a torch, which, though to all ap-
pearance not lighted, contained a
spark of fire within. Very soon the
waving of the torch caught a current
and ignited. I could not see the girls

the torch, Rance advanced toward the

Like the modern cowboy yell of the
western troops in the Cuban campaign,
the war cries and slogans of the an
cient Irish clans often had much effect
in inspiring fear in the enemy and
courage and enthusiasm in the COM
mand. The simplest and most fire.
quent of old Erin's war cries was
"Faire, ~faire," signifying watch" pr
look out" 1t was precautionary sig
nal and was commonly written Far
rah." From it the modern "hurrah"
is supposed to have been derived. An
other cry was "A buaidh," which
meant ito the victory" 1t was pro-
nounced "aboo," and followed the
name of the clan, or leader, according
to circumstances, like 'O'Neill aboo,"
OF Clam Conail aboo." Frequently
"a buaidh" is construed Incorrectly in
modern English to mean forever"
That translation applies to "go brath,''
but not "a buaidh." The famous Irish
cry of Flag an %bealach," meaning
clear the way" scared the spunk out

ESCAPED THE PYRE.
A THRILLING RCMANGE OF
HlNDOOSTAN.
An Eastern Woman with a wild History
She Was Doomed to BE Burned OF
the Funeral Pyre OF Her Affianced
Indian Lover.

There recently arrived in this coun-
try from India, via Yokohama, a wo-
mar whose history reads like a TO-
nance. The oma is Mrs. Mammie
Lalros. Her husband is a Eurasian
from Lahore, and a Christian, but the
woman, although she dresses in Eu-
ropean fashion, is a staunch hInooo,
who refuses to be converted, end has
brought with her from her native
Benares a copper statuette of the god
dess SILVA, which she Worships at
leisure, while her husband nay be at
tending services in the nearest Epis-
copal church. They tolerate each 9TH
er and live happily together with
their three beautiful daughters, two
while the third, the youngest, is a de-
vcut worshiper of SILVA and Ganeesha.
Mrs. Lalros' history is thrilling. She
was about to become a victim to the
terrible suffice of her caste when res
cued by the man who afterward be-
came her husband. AS is the custom
in India, Rance Khud, while still a
eSuuild6 Cullu, was diliiuScu ~ LII
son of a friend and neighbor. At the
age of II, just on the eve of the chill
dren's marriage, the youth of 10, who
was to be the bridegroom, died, End.
according to the irrevocable laws of
her caste, she was doomed to be burn
ed on his funeral pyre on the banks
of the sacred river Jumna, over from
the city of Benares. AS Lalros had
much to do with what followed, it is
just as well he should tell the story.
Il, the son Of q European father,
was guiding a detachment of the First
Bengal cavalry through the jungles to
Benares. While concealed in the bush
waiting for sunrise we saw the dead
youth carried down to the waters
edge on a bamboo stretcher, and,
judging from the sort of crowd that
had assembled, we concluded that we
were about to witness a suffice. The
body was covered over with a green
silk robe-for he was a high-caste
Brahmin-and placed OF a pile of res
inous sandalwood logs. Then the
cloth was removed, the bier placed on
the pyre, with the feet toward the
Jumna, six logs were laid on the body,
and all was ready for the widow.
Led by a relative, Rance walked
slowly down the bank to play her
tragic part in the ceremony, covered
with a flowing robe of white. A Bra
min priest stood at the head of the
body-the scene is before me now as
if it were but yesterday-and he d.
rected the proceedings in the coolest
manner possible. Taking the rod pre-

Paris Messenger: The Paris police
had recently been looking for a swim
der. A few days ago it was found
that his death had been registered;
w%hereupon the papers in the case were
duly docketed and put away. But what
was the surprise Of a detective inspec-
tor who had known him well, and had
noted the fact Of his death, to come
across him yesterday following a
funeral to the cemetery. On mixing
with the mourners the detective
learned that the body being borne to
its last resting place was that of the
living man who was following as one
of the mourners. To avoid a scene he
allowed the ceremony to proceed, and
then took his man into custody. The
latter explains that, his brother hav-
ing died. he conceived the idea Of sub
shutting his own name and papers
with the view of putting the police of
the scene and evading his punishment.

ONE BARON'S ILL LUCK.

Baron Brunnerboum has finally been
arrested in st. Louis upon a charge
of vagrancy, because no other COM
plant seemed to be strong enough to
premise a conviction. He has spent
his brief term in the St. Louis Jail
very philosophically. He seems to be
not at all ashamed of himself, but
when he heard the sentence filming
him 500 for vagrancy he bowed
grandly to the judge and asked air.
lily for a stay of execution long enough
to give him time to leave town. He
speaks %f1ippantly Of American women,
saying that in New York the females
whom he met literally threw them
selves at him because he was a baron.
There seems to be no doubt that he
is the son Of an impoverished Aus
trian nobleman who had been driven
into trade to support his wife and
children. Baron" Gregory, as he
called himself, is evidently in dis
grace with his people at home, wnere
it seems he was a source of ruinous
expense and constant annoyance to
his people. The baronial estate, of
which he talks so pertly, is still in
existence, but like many such ancient
holdings, it has passed from the con-
troll Of its hereditary owner to whom
it was never anything but an expen-
sive burden.
The vagrant baron of whose dis
tinguished presence Chief Desmonl
had just rid St. Louis, was undoubt-
eddy we'll educated, spent some time
in the Austrian army and associated
with men of his own class in Europe.
He told people that his sister is Lady
Bitulph, the wife Of an English peer
and lady in waiting to Queen Victoria.
He also claimed acquaintance with
Albert Edward, Prince Lichtenstein
and a host Of titled foreigners whose
habits he aped and the use Of whose
names helped him into the society in
st. Louis to which he was best suited
by nature and training.

Colors in Lake Water.

The lake Of Geneva, at the western
end Of Switzerland, is blue, while of
the lake of Constance, at the eastern
end of Switzerland, is green. Blueness
implies purity, since the natural color
Of water is blue. A green lake has it's
water slightly clouded with impurities,
which may be exceedingly fine parti-
cles, separately invisible. Prot. Spring
OF the university of Liege says green
lakes sometimes become absolutely
colorless for a time, and he has found
that this SUDDEN change OF hue is due to
the washing into the lakes of mud
eolored red by oxide Of iron. Red lie
complementary to green, and the result
of the mixture is that the green color
OF the water becomes for the time be-.
ing n~eutralized.

you must renounce cabs and carriages

is to be tolerated. You must walk

PROFIT IN LOSS OF ITS NOTES
One Source of Steady Income OF ths
Bank of England.

One Source of Steady Income of the
Bank of England.
From the London News: It is a fact
that, to many minds, no doubt, must
be very curious, that the Bank of Eng
land has always had a pretty steady
source of profit in the loss and destruc-
ton of it's bank notes. What it has
gained of late years in this way we
are unable to say, but during a period
of fifty years preceding 1892 the bank
had made a clear profit of 1896 900
from outstanding paper never likely to
be presented for payment. When the
destruction or the i~rrecoverable loss of
a note can be proved, as in the event
OF a fire or a wreck it can, the bank, of
course, will always pay the money it
represents, and even when there is
doubt about it the cash is paid on Sc
curity being given for indemnifying the
bank should the note ever be pre-
sented. The EGO, 900 worth of paper
or 100000, as it appears to have been
reduced to-taken from PARIS bank.
VIII therefore not represent a loss I'M
less the crisp little billets have some
day to be honoA3d at the Bank of Eng
land counter. In that case the cash
paid in exchange for them will have to
come out of the Golfers of the plum
dered bank. Many years ago a bank
director lost a note for ESQ, 900. But
being a man of credit, and as there
was no doubt about the loss of the bill.
ne gave the usual indemnity and got
the money. Many years afterward,
when the mar had long been dead, the
paper was presented. 1t was payable
on demand and had come from abroad
IN the ordinary way of business, and
the sum it represented had to be
handed over, and as the indemnity that
mad been given was re%pudiated by the
helrs OF the man who had given it and
Tor some reason could not be enforced,
the bank on that occasion had to put
too'ooo on the debit side of the account.
FOR once in a way they paid double
honor to a bit of their own paper.
There is another story of a sum Of
t20,O0O, which the bank in it's early
days for a short time refused to hand
over in exchange for it's own notes.
Ihey were presented by a Jew, whose
assertion that he had bought them was
not disputed, and whose personal in
tegrlty was above suspicion. They
mad, however, undoubtedly been stolen,
and on that ground the bank refused
to pay the money. The Jew went out
into the city and began to spread it
abroad that the bank was shaky and
couldn't cash his notes, and, as he
backed the assertion by displaying his
lnd1sputable paper, the assertion would
IN all probability soon have caused a
run on the bank, and in a few minutes
a messenger came to say that the notes
would be cashed if he would present
them again.

His shipmates were naturally delight
ed. They piled him with grog and
affectionately encouraged him to still
further achievements. Cummings
boldly declared his readiness to swal-
low all the pocket knives on s%hipboard.
They were instantly offered him, and
he actually swallowed them all. One
of the four he seemed to have perman-
emily appropriated, and for six years
he experimental no more in this way.
Eventually, however, he tried a few
more of these somewhat indigestible
articles of diet, and it was said, would
swallow a knife with the utmost in
difference. When Cummings told his
story to the doctors, as, of course, he
had to do in the end, they thought him
a monomaniac, and were inclined to
pay no attention to it. External eX-
animation, however, showed that a
metal point had perforated the wall of
the stomach and induced the hospital
authorities to administer powerful SOL
vents, in order, if possible, to get rid
of the obstructive fragment Of this sin
gular dietary. Perhaps the stomach
which had held out against pocket
knives gave in to the doctors strong
medicine. At all events the man died
