Half way between Munich and SaiZ-

see-built by Ludwig H." writes Pro-
fessor J. II. Gore in the July Ladies'
Home Journal. This great structure
is incomplete. fortunately for already

surmise what its cost would have been.
One room alone-the renowned bed
chamber-could not be duplicated for
less than a million dollars.

legorical painting, the rounded cornice
is covered with a score of richly
framed mural paintings, the walls are
panels of hammered gold of intricate
designs, and even the floor is of mar
yelous pattern. The only suggestion of
the purpose of this wonderful room is
the sixty thousand dollar bed with it's
canopy more magnificent than any that
covers a regal throne.
I'm the gorgeous dining room he had
erected disappearing table, which
dropped through the floor when a
course was finished. and in its place
came up another. set and served. He
desired this so that servants would be
unnecessary in the room and the most
secret state matters could be discussed
in safety.
'Many people sought in vain to see
the famous room at Herrenchiemsee.
Once an actress pleased Ludwig so
much by her recitation that she
thought it an opportnne moment to re-
quest permission to see his most poetic
bedchamber. She was coolly dismissed
for her effrontery, and the servants
were ordered to fumigate the room in
which she had been received"

Won In Spite of His Lawyer.

A well known attorney is telling
good story on himself. He had been
retained to defend counterfeiter and
advised him to plead guilty. His client
did so, and as there was in the mind Of
the court a fixed idea that if Il prisoner
pleads guilty he does so because he
has no attorney the judge asked him
why he made that plea.
because my lawyer told me to-"
"Did he give you any reason for it?"
"Yes. He told me l would have no
show before this Judge"
The court fared up and ordered a
plea of not guilty to be entered. and
the counterfeiter was acquitred.-Phil-

200 miles north of here, is in town. Ills
home and ranch are situated in a beau

that vicinity.
The country he describes as being wild
and unsettled, and his first days trip out
in this direction he drove over forty miles
before he came to a sign of a habitation.
Much wild game was killed on the trip,
including deer, antelope and the smaller
game. Three mountain sheep were killed,
and Mr.. Long declares the meat OF this
weilnigh' extinct mountain animal is most
delicious.
Back of the ranch home of Mr.. Long
and family rise some of the high and
rugged mountains, continuing in an I'M
broken chain through Utah and into the
of these mountains that Mr.. Long owns
some fine gold and silver mines. The
method of treatment used is the old fash
Toned araStra and Sluice boxes, worked
by water power, turning handmade ma

at present, but Long describes Hch silver
veins, which will not be disturbed till
better facilities for handling it are at
hand His gold claims contain ores of a
strictly free-milling character, being a
decomposed iron formation, easily
crushed and separated. The ore belt, ne
declares, can be traced for several miles
across the mountains and gulches. ard
at present there are quite number of
miners getting good returns by the prim-
tive methods described. With modern
machinery, or a railroad to market the
product, it will become a great district
Mr.. Longs purpose in going there was
to establish a home and he expects TO
follow fruit raising. He describes the
country very rich as a horticultural
and mining section, which is sure to at
tract great attention in the near future.

Senate Flickered Out With

PEACEFUL ENDING
OF NOTABLE SESSION

Work of the Session.
Spirited Controversy Over the Price
of Arrnor Plate-Provision For a
Government Plant Stricken Out
Senator Warren's Plucky Fight
For Irrigation Reservoir Appro-

River and Harbor Bill.

Washington, March 4.-Vice President
fifth congress adjourned without day
eight minutes after IL o'clock today. 1t
was after a continuous session begin
ming at IL o'clock on Friday, with the
exception of one hour recess during the
forenoon.
The day CT final adjournment broke
with the senate in executive session,
disposing of a large number of nominal
tons.
When the doors were opened there
was seen but q handful of tired and
haggard-looking senators, who We're
waiting for the final reports from the
conferees on the two bills yet in dis
pute. Finally Mr. Hale appeared Vs.
both. The deficiency bill was quickly
passed, and then came the final and
closing fight on the naval bill and the
price of armor plate and for an arnlor
plate factory. This YVES finally over
and the weary senators took q short
recess.
Upon reassembling the senate took
on a new appearance. The chamber
had been cleared up and the senators
came back to the closing meeting with
a more spruce appearance. Some few
attempts at legislation were made, but
all were unsuccessful. Then the CALLER
les filed with gaily dressed visitors,
who were there to see the final cere-
monies. They were not Ions permitted
to enjoy themselves, as an executive
session drove. them into the corridors,
where they patiently waited for the
doors to be opened. When this was
done only five minutes remained of the
conqress hIlt the hands of fine clock
were turned back ten minutes to give
time for the usual complimentary res
olutions and the address of the vice
president.
President Mckinley and his entire
cabinet had come to the capitol and
were in the presidents room back of
the senate chamber, where the various
bills We're hurried for signature. Fin
ally the last big appropriation bill had
received the presidents approval and
everything was ready for the close.
FIGHT OVER RESERVOIRS.
The anxiety Of the early night over
the fate of the river and harbor bill
was partly dispelled at $3.50 this morn
ing. A determined effort had been
made from o'clock last night until
morning, by several western senators,
headed by Mr.. Warren REP. Wyo.), to
secure reconsideration of the conference
report on the river and harbor bill, be-
cause Of the refusal Of the house con-
ferees to consent that the senate
amendment, making an appropriation
for the construction of reservoirs at
the headwaters of the Missouri river,
should remain in the bill. Mr.. Frye
(Me), in charge of the conference re-
port, steadfastly refused to permit the
