FOUR MILLION FOR A YACHT.
Huge Fortunes Sunk in Building Stump
 tuous Pleasure Craft.

The new steam yacht Victoria and Albert, which has been built for the queen at Tenby, will be on completion the handsomest and fastest yacht any British sovereign has possessed. It will rank only second to the emperor Of Russia's wonderful yacht, the Polar Star, which is said to have cost close upon e1 1000, GOO. Nothing more lavish ly elaborate than the fitting and deco ration of the Polar Star could easily be imagined. Money has been drilled into her frame in hundredweights. The decorations of the dining saloon, which will seat 150 guests, cost approximately g100,000. Exquisite paintings by some of the most celebrated artists adorn the saloons and cabins and all the woodwork is elaborately carved. There is fine library and music-room aboard and a beautiful white marble fountain, while some of the ornaments are of the rarest. The Standart, the ezar's smaller steam-yacht of 4,300 tons, is much more frequently used than the Polar Star. She costs slight 1y over $2, 500, ,000. This is only about half the price of the Polar Star, but the Standart is one of the most sump- tuous yachts afoat There is accom- modation aboard for a crew of 300, twenty officers and eighty passengers. There are three magnificent suites of apartments devoted to the use of the emperor, empress and dowager en- press, fine library, a billiard-room and a music saloon. The dining saloon is paneled in tulipwood; the door handles, finger plates and the lamp fittings are of heavily carved solidssii- yer. There is fine marble bathroom, with heavy silver fittings, and the walls and doors of the principal cabin are selaborately inlaid with ivory and mother-of-pearl. So many improve nents and additions have been made to her appointments since she was first completed that she is now worth probably half as much again as she originally cost. The German emperor's famous steam yacht, the Hohenzollern. Of nearly 1000 tons, was, considering her beauty and purpose, a compara- lively inexpensive vessel, costing con- siderably less than $1,000,000. She has very beautiful interior and splen- did accommodation for crew and pas sengers alike, and is considered one of the fastest, smoothest- going yachts afioat

 Ages of Birds.

It is only possible at present to col- lect data from the duration of lives of birds in captivity; evidence otherwise must be unreliable, and it is purely a matter of theory as to whether the natural possible life is greater than that under the unnatural conditions of captivity. There are records of 8 nightingale having lived twenty-five years, a thrush seventeen. a blackbird that was still alive at twenty and a half, goldfinch twenty-three, and skylarks of twenty-four and twenty. Ravens, owls and cockatoos are popu- larly supposed to live to very great age, and the following records appear to be authentic Raven, fifty; gray parrot, fifty and forty; blue maeaw, sixty-four; eagle owls, ffty-three, and one still alive at sixty-eight

RATS LEVIED BLACKMAiL.
They Were Fed to Let Certain Eat.
 abIes Alone.


 Rats have always levied toll in some way on the human race. Blaekmah eheerfulIy paid to rats is, however, new to history and tribute to their great abilities, says the Chicago News. They had established them- selves under meat market and, ac- cording to the owner, 'sthe way they used to pick and choose was dreadful. When two carcasses of mutton were available they would eat the prime and leave the poorer. The best was hardly good enough for them, and they were cunning even beyond the cun- ming of market rats. So the owner re- solved to make treaty and pay black mail. relying on the economic wisdom of rats. He gave them three square meals, a day, with plenty of variety, i'll hope that the rats would be ap- peased and not eat mutton at night, too. The menu was bread, fancy bIs- cult, potatoes and sugar, and was laid near the rats front door. At first they used to come up furtively and carry the food off to their holes. But now they come out regularly in the shop, eating their luncheon on equal terms with their hosts. Their leader is an old grizzled rat, who has lost an ear He has become the medium" between the high contracting parties and sets an example to his own side by eating bread and biscuits out of the shop mems fingers. The rats now behave exactly like other tribes when in re- eeipt of blackmail, in that they drive off all intruders. "The other day" ," said one of the shopmen, "a strange rat got in among 'em and you should have seen lem chase him out. They ran him out the shop. in front of all of us. and I believe if he'd a stayed they'd have killed him."

TO STOP BLEEDING.
Electricity Now Declared to Be ths
 Best Relief.

Electricity Now Declared to Be ths
 Best Relief.
 The arresting of bleeding in surgical operations has always been one of the difficulties in certain cases, and the electric current has been used before this with view to bringing about that condition of heat which is necessary in order to cause the blood to clot and so act as block to the mouth of bleeding vessels, arresting hemorrhage. This. Indeed, has resulted in the utilization of the electric cautery, as it is called in certain operations, the platinum wire at red or almost white heat even SUD- planting the knife, because it burns through the tissues and at the same time prevents the wound bleeding to any great extent. This effect of heat was, indeed, known to our ancestors, who used red hot irons or boiling pitch. to scar the surface of the flesh after their operations, thus causing an im> mense amount Of suffering to the pa. tient, before the days of chloroferm. new adaptation of this use of elec- trieity, for the purpose of stopping bleeding has been devised by inclosing platinum wire in a pair of forceps Of other instrument, the wire being insu- lated in bed of burnt pipe clay, and as soon as the bleeding vessel is seiz- ed by the foreeps and compressed in the ordinary way, an electric current Is turned on. whose effect is so great that the tissues and the walls of the blood vessels are all agglutinated, so that the blood is no longer able to pass.

NeWlandS and Wren,

The record of Francis G.. Newlands on
the silver question demonstrates to a
certainty that he is not a silver man but
that on this question he agrees fully and
thoroughly with his intimate friend,
Lyman C. Gage, the gold Secretary of
the Treasury. If anybody doubts this
let him read the letters addressed to
Newlands by the Hon Thomas Wren,
the Peoples candidate for Congressman.
We have always doubted the sincerity
of this bloated millionaire, commonly
dubbed the Red-headed Rooster from
over the Sierras, IN the silver question,
out good reason, as the proof will show.
This man who has betrayed the silver
cause should never again be elected to
represent the silver constituency of
Nevada in the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Wren, his opponent, is an old line
Nevadan and has had Legislative ex-
perience, having been Congressman
from Nevada in 1873. He is not a new
man in Congress nor is he g new man to
the miners of Nevada. Every one
knows where he stands on the silver
question. He can be trusted never to
betray the silver cause to the %goldbugs,
nor to make suggestions to Hanna's
party how to stop silver mining alto
gether.
Compare Wren's record with that of
Newlands, and hen ask yourself: Who
is the better friend of the miners of
N~evada-poor Tom Wren, or millionaire
Newlands? And upon your answer, de-
ponds whether or not Wren or New
lands will represent the miners in Con
gress for the next two years.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-18
Votes, but No Water.

Will some one who has taken the
pains to keep track of such matters,
kindly tell the appeal what has become
of those water storage reservoirs which
Francis Newlands has arranged to build
in this state so many times when he
was running for Office? If all the water
storage propositions which Newlands
has given the public on paper during
the past six years, had been practically
carried out and the reservoirs actually
constructed, Newlands would be fairly
entitled TO a seat in the United States
Senate, and if Mr.. Newlands will, even
at this late day, put those schemes into
actual operation, the people of the state
would rally to his support. The fact
that he has so freely promised and so
systematically failed in performance, is
where the shoe is pinching with the
people.
The popular opinion is that he has
made these surveys and drawn these
diagrams with the idea of catching votes
while he had no real intention of ever
pressing these projects beyond the Wis
ionary stage. These reservoirs have
stored a good many votes, but no water.
Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1899-01-18

evidently intend to convey the idea
that there has been too much of it pro-
duced, and you exercise your ingenuity
in suggesting devices by which silver
production may be curtailed. First, a
seigniorage or government tax, greater
or less" that is, raised to whatever
point may be necessary to discourage
silver mining; and, second, a govern
ment prohibition to the location of new
mines, which you assume will be effec-
tive because those now privately owned
'will soon be exhausted" Now, if
this had been saidb Bynum and Eckles
or Cleveland or any other of the gold
standard cRnks, I should not have been
surprised and certainly should not have
thought of criticising it. But in the
mouth of a professed silver advocate it
is such a giving away of position and
argument as to threaten the most
serious injury, unless exposed and de-
nounced by those in whose behalf it is
assumed to be spoken. We are pre-
pared to meet our open enemies but we
cannot safely tolerate the Endorsement
of their theories by those regarded as
our advocates and protesting loyalty to
the cause of silver restoration. Posi-
bly,, Mr.. Newlands, you may be able to
give some explanation of your remark
able language and if so you cannot
begin to make it too soon. If
these extracts fairly present your
views, then you have nc right longer
to pose as a friend of silver. Your
scheme is not only inlpracticable,
one of those illusory devices "to do
something for silver which are %contin-
ually bobbing up in goldbug literature,
but is an absolute surrender of all that
is vital in silver advocacy. When a man
who ssumes to be a champion of silver
talks about a REGULATION of coinage" to
preserve parity and deprecates any ex-
pansion of the money volume by which
prices might be increased and absolutely
suggests a limitation upon production
as a means Of preserving the purchasing
power of gold, he belongs on the other
side and if he persists in carry
ing a silver flag, deserves a court
martial. If you are III favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the present ratio by the
United States independently of other
nations, you should take the frs,
opportunity to say so distinctly. There
is no halfway house in which you, more
than any one else, can take shelter. The
issue is simple and admits of no compro'
mise. Those who are unqualiiedly fol
it are OH one side, and those who are no
including the whole scale from Cleve
land to Secretary Gage, are on the othel
side. Mr.. Newlands, you can choose
your side, but I protest against an effor
to occupy both. 1t is as impossible t.
p. serve both God and Mammon now as i
was two thousand years ago.
Yours respectfully,
), THOMAS WREN.
