OVERPLAyED THEIR HAND
The Secrets or the Mint Steal Gradually
Coming Out

An ex-employee Of the Mint refinery
has been talking to a Virginia Chronicle
reporter. Among other things he says:
AFTER Heney was sent to the Carson
prison he was interviewed by Mason and
this led to the arrest of Jones, Heney
having told Mason just where to find the
places in Jones accounts with the mint
where the leaves in the books had been
removed.
The sailing of the acid tanks and po-
tatoe patch. the latter at the end of the
mint Newer-partIcuiarly The former was
a fatal mistake made by the friends Of
Jones, for as soon as a liberal supply OF
gold WAS found in the acid tanks the in
vestigation experts knew it had been
paced there by design, as there is no pos
sihility of gold Ill any appreciate
amount remaining in the acid tanks after
it j. separated from the silver, the latter
being dissolved 10y the action Of the acid,
WN!le the gold settles on the bottom,
every particle of which is removed from
the tanks after the acid is carefully drawn
oil by means of a siphon. At least 5000
was squadered in this futile attempt to
account for the shortage charged to Jones,
whose guilt VAS established through dis
closures made by Heney."
The above j. only part of what will
some time come out.
There is in the possession Of "a man in
this city the nOtes which passed hetWeen
some members Cf the first Jones jury
and the sack bearer for Jones and Heney.
/ These mTen now insist that the sack bearer
! whose business WAS to handle the last
jury did not attend 10 business but sunk
the money. 1t would have required st
mach money to handle a jury in the face
of the evidence on the last trial that the
SAX man probably concluded not to
waste il trying. ana So sunk it in his own
pockets.
Had these two men made a clean breast
of The W hole business and employed no
lawyers or jury briIers they would have
had a shorter sentence and plenty OF
money left.
After going to prison ~ of The men
some say IIeney and some say Jones'
made a confession duplicating others in
the steal who were never on trial; but no
arrests were made because they could not
be tried successfully on the uncorrob-
Grated testimony Of ConVi.ts.
Evidence has also cropped up which
tend to show that Pierce, who is sup
posed t. have committed suicide in san
Francisco, was really killed because he
was supposed to know something more
of the a1f'ir than WAS safe TO the others.
For some years past a gang of men
have been making silver into dollars and
their plant is supposed to be in South
America. The money is full weight in
silver but the money is not made in any
mint The dies however came from the
Carson mint.
The L. 5. government detectives are
still on the trail of the mint case. The
government never quits on a case like
that uItII it is satisfied it has got to the
very bottom Of it.

Beginning to Squeal.

The Reno Gazette, representing the
defeated Republicans who went down
in the last Stat ,ie.'i0n. claims that
because Hardin "a~ ou the ticket run

there was no acancy TO fill. pIa .ta the
State ticket on the same plane lt@aiiH
with the Storey tickets bearing the
name Of Corhoie, when there was 60
senatorial vacancy to I'LL.
The Gazette argues that the throw
ing out of these tickets would have
elected Fulton, Doughty, Murphy and
Mcmillan.
AS Hardin name was on every State
ticket voted the APPEAL fails to under-
stand how the throwing out of all the
tickets could have elected anybody.
Possibly, the Gazette can explain
this. As a matter Of fact, its wits are
all at sea in this matter. The mistake
Of having COnboie's name on the
Storey ticket only effects Storey county
and not the whole State.
The Gazette should clear it's mind on
this point before going amy further, if it
can which we very much doubt. The
throwing out of votes Ivy whole counties,
on the ground of irregularities VAS

Mr.. McMilIan's attorneys must bear in
mind that a rule OF law once laid dow

DANGER IN THE SOFT" DRINK

Now Resulted Fatally.
Hard drinks have slain their thou
sands, but soft drinks have, neverthe-
less, contributed to the list of fatali-
ties. Instances in proof of the danger
which lies in wait for the unwary alb
sorber of the latter class of potations
are not wanting in recent revelations
of the news columns. Not long ago
man departed this life in an eastern
asylum because he was inordinately
Incorporate in the use of tea. An in
cautious colored man in Atlanta took
sip or two CT domestic concoction
of alum and water. Shortly afterward
he took a fit and gave up the ghost
in great agony. A more recent case
is that of the New York young man
who died after pop" debauch. What
small boy is a stranger to the many
hued delights of pop? 1t effervesces
and tastes like branchwater inade-
quately sweetered, but it has hubbled

up at this rate for three days in sue

as this was put upon his containing
capacity something had to pop; and SO
the pop" drove the life out of him
and he went hence. Such is the fate
of those who have not the strength of
mind to defy the tempter when he
comes clad in the seductiveness of soft
drinks. Not all have the physical
strength to resist the inroads of the
inordinate fizzicking to which these
apparently innocuous beverages sub

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR.

Every woman is a good actress till
she goes on the stage.
There is one thing a woman never
can understand. and that is herself.
When the devil had his choice as to
instruments he first picked jealousy.
II they were named anything else a
woman would have Just as queer look
In her face when sho talked about her
legs.
II there weren't any bad men to be
horrible examples. probably there
wouldn't be any good women to be
shining examples.
Every racy story man hears he
acts like It was old to him and every
woman like 1t was new to her. and
both are making believe.
When n man can make n woman be-
lieve that he can't help thrilling at her
voice she feels she has to marry him
so that she can turn the current on
whenever she feels like II.
The difference between woman and
cat is that when you tease the cat
you know she'll scratch you. but when
It's n woman you never know whether
she'll kiss you or tear your eyes out

Barhizon, little village in the
midst Of the forest Of Fontainebleau.
a short distance from Paris, has be-
come a goal Of pilgrimage for many
admirers of Millets work, and partic-
ularly for those who know that tho
woman who suggested to the great
painter his famous picture Of 1.-The
Angelus" still lives there in a little
cottage stones throw from where
she was born. Mere Adele's home Is
small vine-clad cottage. In which she
lives a frugal but comfortable life,
troubled only by the overinquisitive
tourists and by her rheumatism. She
must have been an attractive woman
once, for even now, although she has
witnessed the passing of more than
threescore years and ten, there are
traces of former beauty in her
wrinkled face.
Mere Adele is a lady, though she has
worn her fingers blunt by toll, and her
form is bent under the burdens she has
had to bear When she looks at you
her smile is like benediction, and the
beautiful things of earth are not lost
upon her. Her manner is cheerful, as
one who feels she has not lived in vain.
If questioned closely she will tell you
of the day when the great artist came
through the dense forest with his wife
and children, leaving behind him the
gay city of Paris with its schools of
painting and its models. She knows a
great deal of the very hard days which
followed for Jean Francois Millet-
the toll, the anxiety, the disappoint-
ments. She nursed his five children
and did the little field work in the
garden adjoining the cottage. When
he saw his nurse-girl, Adele, and her
father reverently bowling their heads
in prayer at the ringing of the Angelus
he conceived the picture which, II not
his best work, is yet the best known,
and the one most appreciated by the
people. Mere Adele calls herself Il
child of God. She looks it in the
painting, and she lives it every day in
her humble cottage.-Edward A. Stein

said a well known dentist to a Star
writer a day or two ago, "for medi-
cal man to tell more about the disposi
ton and constitution of a person by
an examination of the teeth than by
any other part OF the body. Nowadays
the first thing that an army surgeon
does when man is brought up for
enlistment is to look at the would-be
soldiers teeth. If they show any signs
Of decay it is evident that the mans
constitution is delicate and his services
as soldier are declined Immediately
even though he be in every other re-
spect a perfect specimen OF manhood
Men with irregular teeth-teeth un.
even and imperfect-are also declined
as those possessing such teeth are
usually not strong, and hence are un-
fit for the arduous duties of army life
Another peculiarity noticeable In many
persons is a spotted tooth. This is q
tooth covered with dark specks and is
usually found in the mouths of people
with weak intellect. 1t is, in fact, q
sign of insanity. Large teeth show
braininess, more especially II they be
regular. A set of perfect teeth is the
