 They tell an amusing tale of the cute ness of resident of Williams, who in some way was interested in reducing the assets of the Santa Fe Pacific, says the Journal Miner. Sugar was disap- bearing from freight trains, and for some time it was impossible to tell who the "bees' were. At last a theathen Chinee" was apprehended and several others were retained as witnesses who were not of the slanted-optic type. One of them, who disliked to be associated with this sweet aggregation of free sugar importers, secured some croton oil and smeared his face with it and is now quarantined as a smallpox patient in home al his own and is free from intrusion.
 John Berrie is in from Lynx creek, where he has just struck a fine body of ore in the face of the eighty-foot tunnel or his Lincoln mine. The pay streak is about twenty inches wide and horns about $25 per ton gold. The ore, however, carries a high percentage of silver. MT. Berrie brought some of the ore to town and will have it assayed. He discovered this property July 4, 1890, and has since been working on it as he was financially able. He would work his placer mine and when he got a lfttle ahead, would put the placer gold into developing the quartz property. Now he feels better and is about to reap a merited reward for his industrious perseverance. He has $400 worth of gravel piled up on his placer claim which he will work when the snow waters come doWn.-Prescott Courier.

that were adopted by his father and grandfather when travelling by rail- During the previous reigns three sep arate imperial trains were always pre- pared for the czar and for his suite and until the very last minute even the most trusted of the officials were kept in ignorance as to which of the three trains the emperor proposed to occupy.
 They were run at intervals of about a quarter of an hour from one another, and while one was entirely empty, though brilliantly lighted, the other was occupied by the suite, and the third by the czar, yet no one along the line could know in which of the three trains the imperial family were travelling
 It was in this manner that the late emperor on more than one occasion es- capped death, and every one will recall the mistake made by Hartmann and his NihiliSt confederates in blowing up, near Moscow, that one Of the three trains which was empty instead of the one that was occupied by the emperor and his family.
 Nicholas has done away with this third and empty train. He is content with two, one for his servants and bag gage, and the other for himself, his family, and his suite. Sometimes even he dispenses with the second train, as, for instance, when he travelled across the entire breadth of Russia the other day from Crimea to attend the funeral of his grandmother, the queen of Den mark, at Copenhagen. On that occa- sion there was only one train.
 He likewise has dispensed with the elaborate military protection of the lines over which he travels, the prac- tice Of stationing sentinels on both sides of the line at a distance of 100 yards from one another having been abandoned by his orders.
 The young czar has the good sense to be something of a fatalist,. and is of the opinion that if Providence intends him to die by a violent death no human device can preserve him from his fate. -Marqmse de Fontenoy in Washing ton Post

GOSSIP FOR sPoRTsMEN.

The death of Hank" White of Little Silver, N J., which occurred on Satur- day, Jan. IA has removed familiar face from the New Jersey traps. Al though 53 years of age, Henry U. White, better known as Hank, was a first-rate shot, and most deadly in the use of his first barrel For that reason he was a capital man at double birds, and was always willing to back himself at that style of shooting. During his life he has done great deal Of shoot ing, and was probably without su- perior in the field Quiet in his con- yersation and demeanor at the traps, he took good luck and bad with equal equanimity, thereby earning the re- spect of all who knew him. He took a great interest in the shooting grounds at Elkwood park, and was constant visitor to them whenever there was any shooting going on.
 The monotonous regularity with which the paid experts and manufac- turers agents ground cut averages of over 90 per cent at the target tourna- ments last year has given rise to con siderable discussion as to whether the conditions governing such tournaments ought not to be altered for the above classes, at least. It would seem thaS to be perfectly equitable some sort of handicap should be adopted by the managements of the different tuorna- ments "KnOwn 90 per cent men" and there are quite a number in that class, ought to be given harder conditions than those that prevail for the under 90 per cent men" This is only what is done in all other branches Of sport, and there is really no valid reason as to why trap shooting should be made an exception to the general rule. The fact is, as has been stated before, trap shooting needs some guiding and con trolling head, similar to the jockey club in racing on English courses, the racing organization that controls meet ings in tbis country, and the League ol American Wheelmen in cycling. The interstate association seems to be the natural head of trap shooters, or per haps the sportsman's association which has its headquarters in the Stew art building, corner Broadway and Chambers street, New York.
 The cold snap that has prevailed for so long, but which has only given day or sos skating in the city parks, has acted very differently in the country. A few miles out of the city, ponds and lakes have been frozen over for some time past, and many pounds of pickerel have been dragged from the waters by means of tin-ups." This is a kind of sport that can hardly be called exciting. but which has at least sufficient in it to amuse people who want to catch fish. It is peculiarly deadly form of fish ing, and should the cold weather con- tinue long there will be no small dan ger of some of the lakes and ponds at least being pretty well cleaned out be- fore spring comes to loosen the grip of ice at present holding the lakes of New York and New Jersey.-New York Commercial
