SLIGHT FIRE.

One OF the small buildings belonging
to Mrs. j. w. Sweeney caught fire this
afternoon. 1t was the south building
on the lot at the corner Of Seventh and
Main streets, formerly occupied by Ed
gar A. Rider as residence. 1t has
been empty until within the past few
days, when it WAS rented and family
has been occupying IL.
The strong west wind drove the flames
up between the building and the small
rooming building adjoining, setting fire
to the fence and which in short time
would have communicated with the
main residence on the property, the
boarding house OF Mrs. Sweeney, had not
the fire department arrived on time.
The men turned their attention at
once to saving the big Sweeney building
and afterwards to the house which WAS
burning. The flames were soon under
control and the Sweeney house saved, due
to good stream OF water playing upon
the flames, and the efficiency of the de-
partment.
There were some household goods
burned, but only few.
The rooming house was scorched
slightly.
Water was played on the fire at first
from the plug on the southwest corner
OF the square and afterwards, when the
fire wagon arrived, from the northeast
corner plug. Two good and forcible
streams Of water were played on the FIRE.

INDIA's GOLD HOARDERS.
Millions Hidden Underground Which
Are Practically Lost to the World.

Millions Hidden Underground Which
Are Practically Lost to the World.
London Mail.
About fifty milliards of francs Is said
to be the total amount of the gold prod
uct Of the two worlds since the dis
coYery of America. And, strange to say,
of this outpouring of gold, which during
four centuries has been scattered all over
the world an immense portion remains
idle in India, where it has been embedded.
In India the gold returns to the earth
and remains there more completely hid
den than 1t was in its original state.
The amount of gold brought into India
during the past sixty years, that is to
say, from 1887 to 1898, is greater by three
millards nine hundred and forty-three
millions of francs than the amount eX-
ported. The soil of India absorbs the
floods of gold just as the sand of the des-
erts swallows the overflow of the great
rivers. When 1t is remembered that this
work of absorption has been going on
with little interruption for ten centuries,
and still continues under our eyes, 1t Is
easy to form an idea Of the immense
| treasures that are hidden in that country
| All this gold remains sterile and, conse-
| QUently, is lost. 1t is absurd to say that
| it is brought into monetary circulation
| or that it passes through the hands of
| the native goldsmiths. 1t Is disseminat-
! ed in innumerable hiding places from
which it never energies.
In ancient times and up to the period
| of the conquest and occupation by the
| English individual property was not pro-
! tected The country from one end to the
| other was the prey of rival factions who
| raVaged it ceaselessly- and without mercy
| Princes and potentates, as we'll as the
| small fry, were squeezed and shorn con-
| stantly. To escape from the general rob-
| berry the natives great and small, care
| fully concealed their money and their
| vaiuables under ground. This inveterate
| habit became hereditary among them, so
| that today the natives do just what their
ancestors did in past ages 1t is estimat-
| ed that milliards upon milliards of francs
| in gold lie idle in the hiding places of
| India, and it is known that this colossal
| treasure is in coin that dates back sew
eral centuries.
! In the presidency or province of Bonn
bay 1t IS estimated that there are 300. Oo0.-
600 Of francs in gold sovereigns which are
preserved with extreme care, not only on
account of their intrinsic value but on
account of the fact, without counting the
image of st. George, there is stamped
upon them the effigy of a dragon. In In
Ola, as in China, the dragon Is a holy
creature of celestial origin, an inducement
to the faithful to become enrolled among
the beatifed, so that they can live with
dragons In peace and prosperity.

! FLORA TEMPLES SHOE.
story of One the Mare Wore When
She Broke the Worlds Record.

Story of One the Mare Wore When
She Broke the Worlds Record.
New York Evening Sun.
John r. Rome, of this city who has for
several years been Il visitor at the SUM-
mer hotel conducted by Mart Kimble near
Honesdale, Pa, last week presented to
Mr. kimble a souvenir which would be
highly priced by many turfmen of this
city. The souvenir is one of the Shoes
taken from Flora Temple immediately
after her great race against her own and
the worlds record in 1885. She was shod
for the occasion, and Immediately aft
the race the shoes were taken off, as
they could not be used On ordinary roads.
The owner of Flora Temple was All mi
mate friend Of Mr.. Rome, and p. eseated
to him one Of the Shoes, with the request
that he see how long he could keep it n
his possession.
For forty years Mr.. Rome has guarded
the memento with jealous eyes, but last
week, believing that the stoe would be
an interesting object to others, he PIE
scented it to Mr.. Ktmble. 1t is dainty
piece Of workmanship, we'll BETTING the
mare about whom clings more horse gos-
sip, romance and interest than have been
allotted to any other Of her kind 1t is
nearly round, and its diminutive S re in
dicates the dainty formation of Flora
foot. 1T is extremely thin, and the rail
holes in it can hardly be pierced with a
knitting needle 1t was gilded when TAX
en- off, but the gold has worn off. and the
beautiful workmanship of the black ninth
is plainly apparent
The hoof side of the shoe is slightly
rusted, but otherwise the shoe is s it
was when the unknown Flora stepped on
it into fame.
Tradition has 1t that Flora Temple was
of humble origin and that In her early
days she was worked as a truck horse
She was sold for $3.50 just before her for
tunes began to mend. Her purchaser
fortunately could recognize merit no mat
ter how lowly its origin No ether horse
was for so long a time the undisp-t d
Queen of the Turf AT that tire 240
on the plank road indicated the fastest
trotting time. Tacony got the record
down to 2:251s in 1859 and held 1t there
until three years later. when Flora Tenn
pie lowered it to 2:2414, and that record
stood until 1885, when 1t was decided 10
give Flora an opportunity to beat her
own record as no other horse seemed to
be able to do it. The event was awaited
for with great interest by sporting men,
and the result, lowering the record by
four and three fourths seconds, was re-
ceived with profounded surprise
The best horsemen Of that day express
ed the belief that the feat would rever
be repeated. Whatever the record now be,
Flora Temple is held in loving memory
by old-time turfmen, and they will learn
with pleasure that one of her shoes worn
on the occasion of her memora able race
against her own record Is still preserved.

in all seriousness that it was his inten-
ton to invent machine which would al
low him to behold her fair face however
distant she might be.
The "distance-seer." or "telectroscope,' -
is beautifully simple in it's underlying
principle. 1t depends on this familiar
fact: That any vision or image produced
on the retina of the eye is only the blend
ing together of an infinite number of
points projected separately from the OBJ
ject seen by separate rays of light. For
instance, when we see a man or house
we really receive in the eye perhaps a
million, perhaps ten million, distinct pic
lures of distinct points, on the surface
of that man or house.
Szczepanik has found way of separat-
ing any image that may be formed, by
an ordinary Photographic lens, into it's
component luminous points, of transmit
ting these points separately, but with
enormous rapidity, over wires, and of let
ting the eye reconstitute them at the
other end into the original picture.

ing caused reactionary tendency in the
whole list, which was very narrow in its
activity. The closing there was easy at
trivial net changes either way. The main
features Of the bank statement were a
repetition of last week. There is nothing
in it to encourage an expectation of
easier money, but as last weeks similar
statement led to no renewal of money
stringency the stock market was incln-
ed to the view that this weeks showing
might lead to no worse result. 1t Is
puzzling to account for the greater ease
which has developed in money during
the past week, in the face of a long
contraction reported by the banks of
$5,358,000 The stock market borrowers
hope that money will cease to flow to
interior points during the coming week.
There are limitations Of some large
holdings of government bonds by fldu-
est upon which will be applied for next
week and so be made available for the
money market.

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-10-23

DESPITE the commencement Of actual
hostilities in the Transvaal, wheat shows
a substantial loss for the week. Tine
December option has fallen below the
70-cent mark, thereby establishing a new
low record for that option. In Mime
apolis the decrease in wheat prices for
the week is most marked. Close Satur-
day was at 66ssc, while the previous Sat
urday the price was 6S14c. And so it is
at the other leading grain markets
losses that approximate two cents having
been recorded at Chicago, Duluth and
New York. Just what the trouble Is
has not been decided by dealers, save
that there is free supply Of wheat and
the demand from abroad is not up to
what was expected at the outbreak OF
the war in South Africa. Stocks are
kept up to the highest stage known I'M
der similar circumstances, and receipts
are so liberal that bulls find it impossible
to make a rally.
CORN AND OATS.
Corn has been In better demand than
for some time past, and prices do not
show falling off in sympathy with wheat
to such an extent as might be expected
Oats are also in fair demand, and the
prices quoted Saturday are more salts
factory than those for wheat. 1t is pos
sible that there will be no great decrease
in strength of the coarser grains, as the
foreign demand for feed is heavier than
for many weeks.
STOCKS FAIRLY STRONG.
The stock market is in healthy condi-
ton. There has been rather small bus
mess in the leading securities, save at
times in some specalties, but on the
whole the market is in as good shape
as could be hoped for in the absence OF
easy money. 1t is true that there has
been no further hardening of money
rates. On the contrary, the rate is lower
than it has been at any time in the past
month. Easy money is thing Of the flu
ture, however, lenders showing no dispo-
sition to encourage borrowers by reduc-
ing the rate. Railroads have held their
own. Pullman was given quite boost
by absorption of the Wagner company.
