THE AMOUNT OF
GOLD INCREASED

New York, March ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: There
is more gold in the possession of the
treasury and of the banks now than at
any time than for many years. The total
gold held by the treasury three years ago
today was s127, 600, 900. The total today
is more than s241 ,OOOO, 900. The total gold
held by the national banks on May I, 1896,
was s157, III, 500. These banks held on the
date of the last call, February 4, 1899,
1921, 915, 795. This shows an increase Of
$114, O00, 900 in the gold held by the treas
ury and 1854, 0O0, 900 in that held by the
national banks. 1t is assumed that the
amount Of gold held by private banks
has increased in the same proportion,
though no accurate statistics can be OBJ
tanned. There is also considerable gold
in general circulation as the government
for some time has been paying out gold
very freely, so as to relieve as far as pos
sible the demand for paper currency.

Will Assign Their Duties

New York, March ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: Secretary
Long has decided to appoint a. board to
make a large number of important
changes in the navy regulations. Capt.
A. S. Mccormick will be the chairman Of
the board and Commander G.. A. Converse
will be a member 1t is expected that an
officer of high rank, formerly a member
of the engineer corps, will be designated
to serve as a member. Perhaps the most
important feature of it's duty will relate
to the method which will be pursued by
the department in assigning officers to
duty in charge of the machinery of ships.
No provision is made by the navy per-
sonnet law as to the name to be pur-
sued in selecting officers to perform the
different kinds of duties on board ship
and the board will have to make all the
necessary regulations dealing with the
subject.

without effect. This occurred at about 8
O'Clock. About 5 o'clock the trouble broke
out again, beginning with the deliberate
assassination of his son, who. was shot
III the back of the head and killed in

TO take his life. Williams say he was

He then found that his son, the chief of

 The officers deserve the commenda- tion of every citizen of Flagstaff in the success of their enterprise, and to Julius Aubineau. the president of the company, is due more than passing credit for the energy displayed by him in the organization of the company and the completion of the sewer system.
 It is not the intention of the com pany to make profit for the sewege service and their rates are very low for the use of the system. The cost of the system was nearly $500.

Flagstaff Sewage System.

The progress of Flagstaff depends entirely upon the energy and push of it's business men, and it is due to the public spirit of it's business men that Flagstaff has more public improve .ments than any town of its size on the Pacific coast.
 With splendid water system it naturally follows that d sewage system must be consi rucied, and the town not being in financial condition to build first class sewage system. the Flag staff Drainage and Improvement Com pany w;iS organized to construct the 8 stem. Arrangements were made with the Town Council. whereby the city may obtain control of the system al practically cost.
 The Flagstaff Drainage and Improve ment Company was organized in Aug ust last and he contract for the con structiOn of the sewer let to Messrs. Cornish and McWilliams. who began WOrk m September. The work was practically complete the latter part of November and the work accepted by he company on December l9.
 The system consists of 4507 feet of Pinch main, l144 feet of S-inch main. 266 feet of 6-inch main. 525 feet of S. inch lateral and l791 feet of inch lateral, salt glazed vitrified sewer pipe. There are 2 manhOes. $ lamp holes and I Miller automatic flush tanks.
 Many difficulties arose during he construction of the system but they were satisfactorily adjusted and the system is second to none of towns of ten times the size of Flagstaff.

After using two bottles of Elec- tric Bitters she is wonderfully inn proved and able to do her own work" This supreme remedy for female dis. eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep lessness. melancholy, headache, back ache, falnting and dizzy spells.

Antiquity OF the Baby's Bottle.

Most people are of opinion that
feeding bottles for babies must be an
invention of modern times. According
to Prof. Mosby, however, this is not
the case. This gentleman, who was
lecturing recently before an antigua
rian society, stated that is was the
custom among the Greeks for the
nurses to carry sponge full of honey
in small pot to stop the children
from crying. The professor went on
to say that there are two Greek vases
in the British Museum, dating from
700 b. c., which closely resembles
the feeding bottles used subsequently
by the Romans. In the old Roman
cemetery of St. Sepulchre. Canter-
bury, feeding bottle of bright red
polished ware was dug up in 1851,
and Prof. Mosby came to the conclu.
sion that this bottle must have been
buried with the little Roman child to
whose wants it had minstered during
the child's lifetime.

Chinese Farms in Nep York.

Familiar enough to US the idea of
Chinese farms within the corporate
limits Of New York seems strange,
yet it is a fact. The New York
Evening Post writes as follows:
There are seven Chinese farms in
New York which supply all the veget.
ables used by the 10000 Chinese in
this vicinity. Five of the farms are
near Astoria, one is near Fa,bush,
and one near Steinway, Long Island.
Each farm is from FIVE to six acres in
extent, and is leased by the Chinese
farmers from the white owner. At
Astoria there are four farms together,
and it is undoubtedly the most pic.
turesquely Oriental spot in this cos
mopolitan city. 1t is more strikingly
Chinese than anything in Mott street.
From the surroundings one might
easily imagine himself in one of the
suburbs of Pekin. The Chinese
farmers wear exactly the same dress
as the agricultural class in the
Flowery Kingdom. The hat is the
most unique part of the costume. 1t
is made Of split bamboo, braided like
straw, shaped like bell hattened
out, with rim about two feet in
diameter. 1t fills the requirements
of hat and an umbrella at the same
time. The rest of the costume con
sists of blouse, made of coarse
cotton material, and trousers of the
same. The feet are bare.
These farmers disdain American
implements, such as the pillow, har.
row and spade, using those to which
they and their ancestors have been
accustomed for centuries. The prin.
cipal one is long, bamboo-handled
hoe, with which they dig up the
ground, pulverize it, shape it into
beds, prepare them for planting, plant
the seeds and cultivate them. The
only other implement in use is
long, three.pronged fork, shaped like
a hoe.

Flopers as Food.

In India the young flowers of the
banana plant are eaten. The Chi.
nese prepare them by picking them
in vinegar. 1t is almost beyond a
doubt that the banana was originally
native of India and Southern Asia.
Thence it was brought to America
at comparatively recent period by
means unknown. The Melianthus
major grows wild and plentiful in the
region of Cape Colony, where people
gather the flowers for food by shak-
ing the branches, when they fall in a
shower. The blossoms are veritable
cups of honey syruy.

two months and eleven days. The
funeral was conducted from the

Mrs. Wright has been sick for some
time, and her advanced years made
her recovery very doubtful. A few
days ago she suffered partial stroke
of paralysis and her death has been
hourly expected since then. She was
one of the oldest residents of the
county and numbered among her
friends all who knew her. To the
bereaved family the deep sympathy
OF ali their friends goes out in the sad
loss which comes at the Christ

age to Make the Discovery
That 1t Is Loaded.

About . O'Clock Tuesday while
Lloyd and Squiers Pine were playing
with a twenty-five caliber rifle the
former aimed 1t at his brother, under
the impression that it was not load ed
and shot him. The cartridge was a
a % long and the bullet took effecs
in Squiers' face beside the left nostril.
Fortunately 1t struck the bone of the
jaw and was turned aside. 1t ranged
along the jaw, came out in his mouth
where 1t was stopped by his teeth,
and he swallowed 1t. There is little
danger but that he will recover.
The boys are fourteen and fifteen
years old, the younger brother,
Lloyd, doing the shooting. They are
step-sons of r.. A. Leonard, a smelter,
man who lives In the old Istone house
on east Madison avenue. They were
playing with the rifle in the base.
ment, and the older brother refusing to
do something the younger asked him
to do said: "I'll shoot you" Be-
fore the older could explain that he
had loaded the rifie,li was discharg-
ed with the foregoing result. Doctors
were Immediately summoned and the
wounded boy cared for. He did not
lose consciousness and stood the prob
ing bravely, fully exoneratlng his
brother.
1t is almost a platitude to moralize
on the dangerousness of "didn't know

should be warning to boys and /
