Americans are allowing their own
aOldieTS aud the families Of soldiers to
suffer while American money is being

that there are widows Of American
officers in Manila who are almost pen.
niless. At the death Of an officer his
pay Sc lDs, and if the widow succeeds
in Obtaiaing a pension, it is only after
D long delay. There are many tales
OF sick and insane soldiers returning
to San Francisco in restitution. Even
from Cuba and Porto Rico the trans.
ports frequently bring to New York
soldiers who are in dire want. There
is no organization TO care for them.
0ne woman, aided by few others, has
devoted herself to relieving their i'm
mediate necessities and securing
Transportation TO their homes, but
without her aid we might see invalid
American soldiers begging in the

1t will interest Americans to know
that the biggest single pile OF gold on
she face OF tie globe is in the United
States treasury today. Neither the
Bank of England, that great fortress
Of fnaDCiie pOwer, nor the bank OF
France, nor The governments of Ger
many and Russia, with their boards
OF the yellow metal, carefully treas
ured for military purposes, have at
their immediate disposal a sum of
gold equal to the i26,9S9,37l which
IeposeS in our national strong box.
And unless the financial experts are
all wrong, even greater amount of
gold than this is held by banks and
private individuals throughout the
country. The entire accumulatiOnS
OF the precious substance in the
United States are placed at more
than one billion dollars. Even il this
estimate should exceed the reality by
a hundred millions or so, the Ameri-
can people would still have in their
possession more gold than is owned In
any other country under the sun.

A good story is going the rounds
about how Two prospectOrs had sailed
a mine 10 the Galena district in order
to rob couple Of rich widows, which
resulted in the aforesaid widows be-
coming much wealthier. The pros.
pectOrs had spent their last cent In
digging hole in the ground IN the
extent OF sixty feet without striking
anything but yellow clay. But one Of
them knew of two rich widows who
were just spelling to have their money
sunk 10 mine. Accordingly they
spent two nights 10 sailing their
mine. They hadn't sufficient money
to buy some paying dirt, but they
stole it from neignbOring mine and
hauled lot Of il over to dump into
their mine. When several tons of
this paying dirt" had accumulated
in the bottom OF their mine, the
widows were sent for, and while one
was talking about the increasing value
Of the district the other was dumping
out all kinds of lead and zinc ore be-
fore their astonished eyes. The wild.
ows bought half interest in that
hole in the ground for $500, The
next day there was no more ore 10 the
shaft and the fellows declared they
would dig no longer, Then the
widows bought the other half interest
at a total cost Of 1900 anG the men
hiked out for Missouri, l.IghiDg 10
their sleeves. But the women, blind
ly believing that there must be more
ore, continued with the digging ani
at a depth OF ten additional feet
struck the richest vein Of the whole
belt. realizing $4,000 10 less than ONT
years time.

The steamer "Centenn NAL, on which
the Wellington party will take pass
age for Cape Nome, has accommoda.
lions for 700 passengers, half OF which
are first-class and half second class.
As the steamship fare to Cape Meme
is 500 for frst-class passages and Si6
for second class, the ship will receive
s61, $50 for the first trip from this
source alone. All Of the vessels &C.
commodatious have been sold for
weeks. In addition to the passenger
capacity, the Centennial" has a
capacity for 1,S00 tons OF freight and
about 300 head OF horses. The freight
rate to Nome is $40 per ton, and SIS
per head for horses. The receipts
from these two sources will be 1874, 800,
swelling the total receipts for the
first trip to sl55,75O The Cape Nome
crowd overlooked an opportunity to
invest their $4,000 in company to
operate ship between Seattle and
Cape Nome. The Centennial is
scheduled for five trips to Cape Nome
this summer, and il their advertising
agent can keep up the interest 10 the
new gold fields, the ship cashier ought
to take in $4,000 this summer. As
everybody who goes to Cape Nome
will want to come back, the "Centen-
NAL" has 81, 55S, 900 in sight for the
summers work. This ought to be
clear money, as the company depends
upon the mail, express and surplus

Death is nearly always painless.
says writer in the Spectator. Man
dies generally from the cessation O.
the hearts functiOuing, whatever the
more remote cause may have been.
The nerve cells may have ceased to
act, the muscles may have been worn
out, or the heart may have been
directly attacked by acute or chronic
disease. But ia any case, want Of
oxygen is the determining factor, ex-
eept ia the case Of poisoning with
prusSic acid, in which case the whole
body is dead before the heart ceases
Do beat. In every other case the ces-
satiOn Of the hearts action comes
first, the general death Of the body
afterWard. Before the heart ceases It's
function consciousness ceases. Even
In the most awful death known
death by burning-mortality is rem
desed painless at an early stage by
suffOcation. 1t is the first moment Of
experience Of the heat that Is so terri
BILE; we think, in imagination, that
we could never endure it and wonder
how martyrs faced it with such calm.
But, apart from their state OF spirit
usl ecstasy, their suferings were soon
mercifully ended by nsture herself,
which appears TO set very real limits
10 physical torture. Thus Livingston,
when seized by lion, tells US that be
felt little pain or apprehension, viii
DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace asserts
shat the seeming tragedies Of animate
nature, such as the killing OF birds by
beasts Of prey, are not at all So awful
Is they appear in our imagination. We
see with painful vividness the out
ward fact, but we do not see the mer-
ciful aGodyne furnished by nature. So
it Is ata death bed. The observers
see the clammy brew, the gasping for
breath, the rigOr mortis, sometimes
the c0nt0rteG featureS-all painful to
behold But with perhaps the excep-
ti0n OF the difficult respiration, the
dying mao knows nothing OF this, and
before he has actually expired, nature
has given him relief which the dear
est frieEd or most skillful physician
could DOT have impaired. There are
also forms of death, in which long
before death arrives, the twill to
i've has ceased, the patient resigns
himself, aud life gradually sinks to a
vanishing point. Thus life is physi-
e2lly and psVchologically painless.

EWithin twenty years the United
States have taken first place among
school going nations. The Facts con-
cerning proportion of schOOlable popu-
latioa attending school are published
at intervals by the bureau of educa-
ton. Our country has attained its
supreme distinction without resort to
compulsory school laws. Such laws
are 0n the books Of some of the states.
In no state las compulsory school
law al any term been literally en-
forced, Americans intuitively love
school. They involuntarily make
enormous sacrifices for maintenance
Of schools. School taxes are higher
in the United States than in any
other country of the world. There is
no other tax Americans pay SO will

Divine healers have come under the
ban OF the pOstOtfice department, and
in a few days an order will be issued
debarring them from the use of the
mails. The department has been
gathering information respecting
their methods for a month, and it is
now so well conceded that their bust
ness is illegitimate that it is the pur-
pose to institute general raid. The
matter was first brought to the atten-
tiOn Of the department by complaints
from Nevada, Mo-, where Weltmer, a
sOcalled divine healer, conducting his
business by mail, endeavored to collect
payment for continuing to treat 4
patient after the patient was dead.
Further investigation showed that he
had attempted this in several in
stances, although, of course, he was
not aware that the subject OF his
absent treatment" had succumbed to
disease. Prof. A. S. Weltmer is preSi.
dent Of the American School Of Mag
netic Healing, which is located at
Nevada, Mo-, aud organized under the
laws Of that state. He claims to have
treated $1,000 patients without per-
sonal consultation and to have cured
all but twelve. The postal authorities
have notified the officials Of the New
ada school to appear on May II and
submit arguments TO show why a
fraud order should not be issued
against them.

For some time past there has been
discussion as to the better methods Of
transmitting small sums through the
mails. The silver dollar and half
dollar are TOO heavy, and the quarter
and dime can readily be detected
through the envelope. The paper
dollar bill may indeed be transmitted
without the objection of weight, but
if they are stolen the sender has 40
recourse. There is a bill before con-
greSs to provide for what is called
the postal check, which seems to be
based on happy idea. 1t is proposed
that hereafter all 81, 81 and S. bills
shall be printed with small blank
spaces on the left face in which to
write the name and address of the
persons to whom the note is made
payable, with a blank space on the
other side for a 2-cent stamp for the
government fee, the stamp to be can
celled by the sender in the same way
that check stamps are cancelled.
This converts the note into a check,
to be redeemed nv the government at
any rOstOffiCe. This is the mere out
line of the scheme, which is Of course,
is subject to such amendments as may
he found useful or necessary, such as
provisions for checks for less than 81 q.

nc AM

The millinery opening at James McCreery & Co g,
Twenty-third-st.. brought spring into the trade
world IN all the funess of its floral beauty. Japan
csc cherry blossoms and American Beauty roses
decorated the room, and, although flowers found a
place many of the hats, they had in most In
stances TO make way for fruit.
Grapes in long clusters and wreaths. currants and
cherries used the latest fashionable
trimming The result rather suggests summer
than spring, but 1t renders every model richly
picturesque. Pretty examples Of this new style are
a green tulle turban with quantities of ripe and
unripe black currants trailing over the crown; a
red straw laden with currants and cherries, and a
handsome Gainsborough shaped straw draped with
a chiffon scarf and a wreath of luscious purple
grapes. Horsehair is used largely. and it will be
welcomed heartily for the sake of it's light weight
Leghorn in many shapes appears among the most
attractive models.
A particularly effective Illustration Of the use of
this pliab straw is unfinished Leghorn draped
with fine black Chantilly lace with bunch of
roses on the End long black velvet strings.
It is broad fat shape. slightly dropping at the
back, and is also example of the typical forma-
ton of the spring hat
In the trimming department the flowers are
massed in artistic profusion. The great quantities

yailing floral decoration beautifully made OF

cycamen and tiny June roses are among the newest

WITH THE "ECLECTICS."

At yesterday the Eclectic Club assembled
at Delmonicos to hear Professor Charles II. Judd
explain the many values of psychology. Mrs Dore
Lyon presided and Mrs. William Tod Helmuth
the guest of honor.
Professor Judd said that 'the value of Psychology
was something more than mere speculation, for
may become conscious of their own mental
lives as they are now with their physical and
bodily lives, and our hope is that some time the
mysteries that surround our mental lives
may be solved. He considered 1t of great value
also in the intellectual development of children
Mrs. Richard Stearns followed with a paper in
which she said that the illusions pertaining to the
soul would seem to be the delusions of the senses
We hear much of wholesome truths" she said
but what OF those unwholesome truths that
destroy illusions?'
The Eclectcs, according to their weekly custom,
discussed book of the day, and then adjourned
for luncheon.
