its connections have been operating a

Chicago for years. and three DAYS
each, week. viz. every Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday evening. The
cars for this through service are OF
the latest Pullman design, and are
supplied with clean linen and bedding

The Virginia Chronicle gives the
following interesting "reminiscences
OF the robbery Of the Carson mint:
An ex-employe of the refinery de-
partment recently entertained q few
acquaintance with an outline of the
inside history OF the robbing of the
Carson mint. He said that he and
other attaches Of that department
we're first suspected OF being imp
Gated and government detectives
were on their trail for weeks before
they were aware Of it.shadowing them
wherever they went.
After four months Of this surveil-
lance they were summoned before
Mason, chief of the investigating
squad. and asked to give a min ute
acoount Of their monthly expendi
lures. When this request was com
piled with inquiries we're made to
verify the statements after which
Mason remarked to one OF the rein
cry empl yes, .young man you drink
a whole lot OF whisky"
A general investigation of all the
departments followed. The coin was
counted, bullion weighed and gen.
eral and thorough cleanup through
out the mint was ordered. which &C.
cupied several. weeks. but when the
weighing and testing OF the bullion
bars was began by the mint and other
assay ers brought from San Fran
cisco, it was soon discovered where
the shortage lay, forty.two bars that
should have contained at least 80
per cent OF gold showing no sign Of
that metal i'll their conn ositiop-be-
ing discovered in one day, and before
the investigation closed it was found
the entire shortage was nearly q
quarter Of a million.
Suspicion fell on Heney and Jones
immediately and inquiry into the
csree OF Heney while at Tombst one,
Arizona, convinced the detectives
they were on the right trail, Of which
they were certain after ascer:aininx
that Heney had disposed Of large
amount Of refined gold to a Reno res
ident. After Heney was sept tn the
Carson prison he was interviewed by
Mason and this led 10 the arrest of
Jones, Heney having told Mason Just
where to. find the places in Jones' &C.
counts with the mint where the
leaves in the books had been re.
moved.
The sailing of the acid tanks and
potato pat Oh, the latter at the end of
the mint sewer-particularly the for
mer, was fat al mistake made by the
friend0 OF Jones. for as soon as lib
eral supply Of gold was fonnd in the
acid tanks the investigating experts
knew it had been placed there by de-
sign, as there is no possibility Of gold
in any appreciate amount remaining
in the acid tanks after it is separated
from the silver, the latter being dis
solved by the action of the acid, while
the gold settles on the bottom, every
particle Of which is removed from the
tnnks after the acid is carefully
drawn off by means of a siphon. At
least $4,000 was squandered in this fu-
tile attempt to account for the short
age charged to Jones, whose guilt
waa established through disclosures
made by Heney.

NOT THE USUAL THING.

Owing to the efforts of play-writers
and playactors, and perhaps partly to
her own semi-occasional efforts, the
mother-in-law has the reputation Of be-
ing a disturber Of domestic peace. The
funny men on the stage do not say
anything about the father-in-law, and
he himself has been cute enough to
keep out of public observation. But in
Kansas, where they do unusual things,
a father-i n-law has been smoked out in
a way that will cause many suffering
wives and shocked mothers-in-law to
say Ha! Ha! At Atchison, the district
court has granted a divorce to Mrs.
Virgie Donoho. She made no complaint
against her husband other than that he
did not take her part against abuse
which she alleges she was subjected to
at the hands Of her father-in-law,
Thomas Donoho, who lived with them,
and whom she also charged with intern
pGTdHC6. lie uusUdHQ iIicuc III uClSIlSG
against her charges, and the divorce
was granted as above mentioned. Mrs.
Donoho says her husband is an excel
lent man, and does his duty, but she
can't stand his father who drinks and
is abusive Donoho says his wife is an
excellent woman, but he does not know
what to do with his father. Mrs. Dono-
no says she loves Mr.. Donoho, and Mr.
Donoho is still filed with affection for
his wife. At one time he paid for the
board of his father at hotel in order
to have him away from the house, but
the old man came back and raised the
devil with their domestic happiness.
This case isn't as funny as the moth
er-in-law cases are usually made out to
be. but it is quite as real. A drunken
and abusive father-in-law isn't very
often funny.

A PROMISING BILL.

| Senator Ellsberg of New York has
| introduced a bill which merits attention
in other States as well as In New York.
IT ia intended to "reduce the volume of
legislation, and more particularly the
mass of private and local bills which
flood the legislature every year, and
make it almost physically impossible
to become conversant with the business
which calls for attention. Senator Ellis
berg's bill distinguishes private and
local bills from public bills, and re-
quires the former to be filed with the
Secretary OF State at least thirty days
before their introduction to the legisa-
ture. Each bill of this kind must be
accompanied by statement of the
reasons why it is necessary or desired
and why the general laws are not suf1i-
cient. The petition for it must be
signed by the persons who desire its
passage, their post-office addresses
must be given with their names and
every such petition must be advertised,
Provision Is also made for notification
Of those who have interests that may
be opposed to those sought to be pro-
NOTED by such a bill In short, the full
est publicity is meant to attend every
stage of the business. 1t is specially
provided that every bill which although
general in form tends to enlarge OF re-
strict the privileges of individuals or
corporations must be treated as pri-
vate bill, petitioned for, and advertised
in the way already described.
Such a law would tend to decrease the
quantity and improve the quality of
legislation

WEIGHTS OF VERMONT DEER.

I noticed some time ago in your pa
per comments ON the weight Of deer,
and it occurred to ME that you might
like some items on this subject from
Vermont. have an impression that our
deer in many instances have exceeded
the everage in weight. In obtaining
states, most of the reports give the es-
tinated weight Of the animals, but in
many cases the actual weight was Civ
en-. A great many of the deer weighed
over 200 pounds. In some instances L
have written personal letters to the
men VIII captured the deer and ascer-
tanned the truth of the original reports
and have received in reply four letters
giving the actual weight Of the deer
killed as 231 pounds, PSI pounds, 316
pounds, and 370 pounds. George A.
Wood Of Woodford, VT, appears to
have taken the heaviest deer captured
in Vermont the past season.. w. Tit
comb in Forest and Stream.

and some of their deeds are quite as as
tonishing as anything that has happen
ed in st. Louis. For instance, the rob-
berry of jewelry store at the corner OF
Madison street and Ogden avenue, one
of the busiest and most brilliantly light
ed corners in the city outside the down.
F, town district. The time of the robbery
was o'clock in the evening, an hour
when it is certain that there will be
many people upon the streets. The
methods employed by the thugs had in
them not a suggestion of secrecy. There,
where their acts were as visible as they
would have been in the daytime, where
pedestrians were hurrying to and fro
and cars We're passing on both sides,
while numerous employees and CUSTOM
ers were gathered within the store, they
barred the doors by passing piece Of
timber through the handles on the out
side, and then shattered a large plate
glass window, inside which the valua-
bles they sought were displayed. Even
at this stage in the proceedings 50 conf
dent were they that they seem to have
betrayed no fear. A gathering crowd
was held at bay with revolvers while
the booty was being removed, and it
was only when the job was complete
that the ROBBERS took to fight, firing
their weapons as they ran to show that
they were prepared to commit murder
If need be.
This incident has made some stir in
Chicago. The Times Herald says of 1t:
The recital is almost incredible, and it
would be utterly incredible if the scenes
We're not laid in Chicago. Here, 1t seems,
we are still to expect such outrages,
though they are hardly known to any
other city in the country, and are maxi
ing a reproach of the very name Chica-
go. The infamy of the thing is becom-
ing uncomfortable, and the police must
bestir themselves to put an end to such
brazen defiance OF the law, such a con-
slant menace to life as we'll as to prop
efty. A few resolute officers might have
converted Saturday nights disgrace
into an example and warning that no
criminal here would ever forget.

CARS WITHOUT WHEELS.

A patent has just been issued to
Lincoln c. Cummings of Portland on a
ball-bearing car-truck The present
car-wheels are entirely dispensed with,
instead of which the car rests upon q
line of steel ball bearings upon the
truck, thus bringing the car down close
to the track instead Of four feet above
it, as at present, The centre of cavity
being thus lowered overcomes the
centrifugal force'in making curves, en-
abling high speed.
In order to bring the balls upon the
truck to sustain the weight of the car
Mr.. Cummings has devised a very
ingenious circulating channel in the
truck bed provided with openings in the
bottom over each rail so that the balls
after bearing the weight of the cars
are caused to circulate and move free
ly and without friction from one rail
to the other and affording to continuous
feed of rotating balls
In car trucks as now constructed the
weight of the car is always carried by
the wheels, causing, as is obvious, a
great amount of wear on the rims and
necessitating constant renewal ana
turning down while in Mr. Cummings
device the weigh of the car is carried
by the rotating balls only the length of
time the balls are in the openings. The
rest of the time while they are passing
to the opening on the other side
through the circulating channel, they
are subjected not only to no weight and
it's consequent wear, but are caused to
travel through an almost frictionless
channel, reducing the wear on each ball
and the need of renewal to a minimum
and further avoiding all danger or
bursting car wheels. In other words,
the balls sustain the weight of the car
on the same principle as do rollers sus-
tain the weight Of a moving building
the circulating channel taking the place
Of the person who carries the roller
from the path of the moving building
for it to again sustain the weight of it's
superimposed load.-Pittsburg Dis

He attributes his own long continued
good health (and he is now seventy
five) to twelve years residence in the
tropics when he was young man, and
threatened with lung disease. The
pure, warm air restored him to per-
manently sound condition. He says
European soldiers in India have better
health then the sedentary native class
es British soldiers in the Soudan
stand up to the work; thousands of
Australian gold miners endure intense
heat, and Hollanders have flourished
for generations in the Dutch colonies
He believes the region on each side of
the Equator for thousand miles to be
"the most healthy and the most enjoya-
BILE abode for man, where with the least
labor he can obtain the greatest amount
of necessaries, the comforts and the
luxuries of life, and can at the same
time develop and cultivate his higher
nature" But work, he adds, is neces-
sary to health there as elsewhere.

THAT EMRALMED REEF.

General Miles seems to be holding MS
own in the embalmed beef controversy,
He makes another statement in which
he says he has overwhelming evidence
that the beef was embalmed, and that
he has evidence from men who saw the
beef embalmed. He also says that the
canned roast beef was beef canned at
ter the extract had been boiled out of 1t.
General Miles has in this matter as big
a battle on his hands as he ever fought.
There is much money and much pull
against him. But If he can and does
back up his assertions his victory will
be as good for him as any he has ever
gained. If he can prove that the gov
eminent and the soldiers have been
cheated he will do a public service which
will not soon be forgotten. He may hurt
"a great American industry" But if
he is right it deserves to be hurt, and
hurt so that it will be obliged to change
it's ways.

criminal class is deprived of the oppor-
tunity for reflection upon the crime
and the punishment of course. There Is
also lacking the effect which the slow
sure, and intricate process of the law
has upon the minds Of the ignorant,
turbulent, and impassioned, the very
ones we want to reach.
1t is not to wreak revenge on a brute
that he is lynched. Revenge for a
crime SO revolving is impossible. There
is no such thing as revenge by decent
people upon one so low and degraded.
Revenge is not what we want, what we
are looking for is that measure of
punishment which will prove the most
potent warning, the best preventive for
a repetition Of the crime. The method
of punishment which will do this is that
set forth by the law The trial in court,
the sentence of death delivered by the
judge the absence of anger, of passion,
the building of the scaffold in the jail
yard, the cool, deliberate work of the
officers Of the law carrying out the
sentence of the court strike more terror
to the hearts Of the wicked than any
lynching which could ever take place.

TO CHECK LYNCHING.

The correction for lynching is not SC
much the enactment of laws, but in the
education of public sentiment to the
futility of lynching. In the nature OF
things the flagrant violation of the law
cannot accomplish anything good. The
silent course of the law, shrouded In
mystery and awe to the ignorant mind,
will have more effect as preventive or
that horrible crime which precipitates
a lynching than the unauthoritative act
of maddened men, just and righteous
and terrible though their anger be. A
lvnching usually occurs few hours or
a few days at most after the crime mas
been committed, and consequently the
