The elaborate story OF confessed lis
tener to the conversation of the Boer
envoys. which some New York newspa-
per printed yesterday, called TO our mind
the result which happened when George
III. Boxer related TO the late Augustus
Woodbury. a conversation which Boxer
said took place between Gen. Meade and
Gen. Lee. Woodbury., in the nnocency
OF his heart. never suspected any man,
much less Boxer and printed his story
The Nation at once branded Mr.. Wood
bury as liar; but Immediately Boxer
wrote Mr.. Woodbury. to spare him from
exposure; he had been eavesdropping
at the keyhole. and he Boxer. was the
real liar; the person who writes this
has his. Boxers. letter in evidence. but
Mr. Woodbury. died, without ever hav-
ing said single word in denial of
the Nations charge. Moral: A liar will
steal. or a thief will lie. Appendix:
Hardly had we written this paragraph
when dispatch comes from Mr.. Fis-
cher. one OF the envoys, denouncing the
story las false in every important par
ticular"

Here Is a hospital case from New
here as in that state There is no law
in New York holding a hospital re-
sponsible for injury done patient
while under it's charge. A case arose
in New York brought by Miss Helen
ID. Ward against st. Vincents hospital.
The young woman underwent a severe
operation at the hospital, and through
the alleged carelessness of nurse,
was. while under the influence of ether.
so badly burned by the application of a
hot water bag that there was great
danger of her losing her leg at the hip.
She is MANNED for life. and in conse-
quence sued the hospital for damages
to the extent OF $4,000.
BY the unanimous decision OF seven
judges Of the appellate division. the
. young woman gets damages awarded
in the amount OF $4,000, which is final.
Not very many years since Mr.. Cor
man got verdict against the Rhode
Island Hospital for the loss of an arm
OF client, by reason OF modification.
IT was thought great hardship for the
hospital TO pay the money so the hos
pital ran at once to the General AS
sembly and got law enacted relieving
it from any liability in case another
arm was allowed TO mortify while un-
der its charge or course every law
yer must see at once the futility of
such a law. 1t can never stand the as
sault Of a skilled and honest lawyer
before the court OF last resort. The
appellate court of New York has set
k'he pace.

GOLD NEAR TOPEKA.
Reported Find Near Valencia,
This County.

Gold bearing sand has been found at
Valencia, 1155 miles west of Topeka on
the south side of the Kaw river. The
sand crops out from the high bluff and
the bed is three feet thick and about
quarter Of a mile in length. How far
back in the bluff it runs is not known.
A man named Glidewell was the first
to notice the popularity of the sand
which is a dark brown color, and he sent
some of it to an assayer who says it is
gold bearing but to what extent can not
be ascertained as neither Glidewell nor
the assayer will tell. The small pebbles
are very thick and are composed of iron,
copper and gold The land on which the
sand is found is a part of the town
site of Valencia and is owned by Ed
ward Mitchell. The bluff from which
the sand crops out is known as Cow
ardly Chief bluff and is one of the
highest on the Kaw. On 1t the Kaws
had their village during their war with
the Pawnees. A great amount of inter-
est is taken in the find by the people of
Valencia and the railroad men and a
great many of them have secured sam
pies of the sand The sand that was
sent to the assayer was taken from a
field about one-half mile from the Rock
Island station. Several samples We're
sent today to assayers in Denver and
the result is awaited with great interest
by the owners of property in that imme-

from the Philadelphia Post.
David J. Hill, the first assistant secre-
tary of state, is one of the most import
ant younger members of the admins
tration set. He has an interesting, keen
personality that makes him noticeable
even in such an assemblage.
And his children also are interesting.
Their mother is a daughter of the late
Asa Packer. of Pennsylvania, million
aire and we'll known railroad man The
children are twins, a girl and a boy.
Mr.. Hill has been going through a
good bit of teasing concerning his small
daughters recent behavior.
The pair always have been dressed
alike to a detail Their love for. each
other is intense, and no one dares give
to ore without giving to the other.
Each has toys alike, eats from similar
chairs off of twin plates.
Their beds are copies of each other in
fear that she will unconsciously prefer
one before the other.
Thus they lived until recently. when
the blow fell.
Mr. Hill decided that it was time to
put the boy in trousers. The suit was
made, and the boy Strutted out in it
one morning and proclaimed himself a
man. The girl could not be found until
the nurse came down with terrible tales.
The girl would not be comforted- She
was shrieking with anger and grief. She
refused to put on her girls clothes, and
wanted to know why she wasn't to be
dressed like her brother The Hills
were aghast; no such development had
been thought of. Mr. Hill. the diplomat,
went upstairs, and after an hours fight
came down worsted. Nothing awaited.
The second day the girl grew sick,
and every sight of her brother caused
an outbreak Matters grew so bad that
the family doctor was called in, and his
prescription was. Trousers for the girl. -
Mrs. Hill wouldn't hear of it, but the
girl got so much worse than the tailor
xxac called i'm and an entire suit made
for her like the boys.
She got well at once, and the two
are dressed exactly alike every morning
and kept in the house.
They are gradually persuading her to
put on skirts in the afternoon when she
is taken for her walk.
