Attorney General Shows What Pub

Waning Calculations

Washington, Aug. 25--Attorney- Cen
eral Knox has rendered to the postmas-
ter-general an opinion on the question
as to whether a certain Western daily
paper violated the law prohibiting the
use of the mails for advertising lot
teries, gift concerts and similar enter
prises. The paper some time ago in
augurated guessing contest, advertis-
ing that it would give 1900 prizes, ag-
gregating $4,000, to the persons max
ing the nearest estimates of the num-
Der of paid admissions to the Pan
American exposition from the day of
the opening to the day of closing.
What Contest Involves.
Attorney General Knox says that I'M
less the contest is plainly forbidden by
the law the remedy is with congress
and not with the department. He says
that the contestants must go into a
careful inquiry as to the facts about the
proposition, the public interest, and the
attendance to date, and continues as
follows:
Allows for Brain Work.
'Such estimates, therefore, while nee
essarily dependent in many respects
upon chance, are likewise affected by
the intelligent calculations of the
thoughtful observer A fair construc-
ton of the words dependent upon lot
or chance excludes estimates which are
based upon mental calculations, even
though the factors which enter into
such calculation may be uncertain and
matters of conjecture"

CHAPTER X.

The eighth day was characterized
by events which discouraged the pas
sengers, who were anxious to end
their long confinement to the ship.
A heavy fog had fallen during the
night and the vessel, with deafening
shrieks of the foghorn, was cropping
her way as slowly as great raft. A
delay of not less than ~ hours might
be counted on, declared expert judges
of nautical matters.
Mrs. Goddard and Mrs. Nolan were
as usual on deck sitting side by
side when the second officer passed.
He was hailed by an anxious voyager.
How long is this going to last, real
Iy?" asked the passenger.
"Oh, it's lifting rapidly" was the
answer. "You won't hear the fog
horn much longer. In fact, we are
running into quite a gale. 1t will
strike us about dark"
Mrs. Goddard nudged her compan-
ion, and when the speakers had
walked on, she said in whisper:
"Things are working beautifully"
beautifully" echoed Mrs. Nolan,
whose heavy conscience had intensi-
fed her natural dread of dangers at
sea.
"Yes, bad weather is exactly what
1 want" And the plotting woman at
once set herself to the study of storm
indications.
BY eight o'clock that night the sea
was rocking, frothing, tossing in fury.
The two women shut themselves in
their room and held a whispered con-
ference over their final movements.
During his rounds over the slippery,
spray-washed deck the captain raped
at their door. Mrs. Nolan went to it.
"Passengers are forbidden to go on
deck" he said. Every below
will stay downstairs. The wind is
strong and the sea high. Keep your
door locked. How is Mrs. Goddard?"
"Thank you, sir, she seems little
excited, but | think she will soon be
walked away.
"That was a splendid reply" said
Mrs. Goddard, approvingly, Every
thing is working well; the deck will
be entirely deserted. To be on the
safe side, wait till ten o'clock. Re
member, you are to do it all now 1t
depends on you. If they press you
too hard for explanations, go into hys.
terics. You surely can do that"
81 presume can; but oh, my Lord!"
Don't begin that; we are here for
battle. Do you remember every de,

"Goodl" exclaimed the recumbent
woman. "That is quite enough for the
present. 1t will prepare him for the
climax-divest his mind from all possi-
BILE suspicion of trickery in the chief
event when it comes. | must not cause
him to set close watch on me. Tell
him when you meet him next that 1
have been to sleep and that am de-
cidedly better"
On the seventh day of their voyage,
on entering the state-room suddenly
Mrs. Nolan discovered Mrs. Goddard in
the act of placing little folding deck
stool into the closet.
"What is that for?" she questioned.
"You don't suppose / am going to
stand up in there all the time | am
locked in, do you?" smiled Mrs. Cod
dard. "There is not room enough to
lie down and an emergency might oc-
cur in which I'd have to stand till I'd
drop in sheer exhaustion. ] am awful-
ly glad the air comes in at the top.
Now, just for experiment. I'll sit down
and then you must lock me in
Mrs. Nolan consented readily. She
seemed better at rehearsals than at
performances.
Owing to the shallowness of the
closet Mrs. Goddard was obliged to sit
sidewise, but she looked very comfort-
able as she leaned back against her
gowns and skirts.
"Now, close the door" she said. And
when this was done no one entering
the room at that instant would have
Imagined that the apartment con-
tanned more than one woman.
"There is plenty of air too" chuckled
the prisoner when she was liberated.
"Now, for all you do. don't leave the
room while the stewardess is putting
IL straight. The hints | have dropped
in her presence about keeping the
closet locked will make It appear thor
oughly natural for it never to be open.
She knows we have both the keys
But, my Lord, after-after you dis
appear-what if they were to order the
door opened?"
"You must not cross bridge be-
fore you come to it," quoted Mrs. God
dard. Now, so far you have done
beautifully; don't make a failure at
the very end. l tell you our plan is
going to run smoothly and without
. single hitch. Then, if l get ashore
all right, shall be free; and we shall
have money enough to be free on,
think of that-think of the money,
Lucy!"
81 shall 10 my best" said Mrs. No
Ian, borne into hopefulness by the
breezy confidence of her friend.
Taking up her rug and a book. Mrs.
Goddard went to her chair in sunny
spot on the deck. She saw the cap
tain approaching. A critical look lay
in his frank eyes, but she bent over
her book and allowed him to pass
without word. 1t struck him that,
having recovered from her delusion,
she was embarrassed by the remem-
brance of her wild remarks a few
days previously.

Chicago, Jan. 7.-Referring to Mr..
Armours fortune. the Chicago Chroni-
Gle says:
"NIr. Armour's wealth Is a subject
that may never be accurately known.
1t is estimated to he not less than $780,
OOOOOO, and by some is said to exceed
$5OOOO.OOO. The combined wealth of
the Chicago Armours is fixed at $780,
100000. In one sense the total is the
wealth of Philip ID. Armour, but just
how much has been carried in his name
and how much In the name of his sons
is unknown. He has not been a Dor
rover. He has always been able to
pay cash for his purchases, and he has
never asked customer to discount a
bill.
"In his great wheat deals he has al
ways had ready cash. In times of
panic he has showed vast resources in
spot cash. In 1893. when a run was
made upon the banks of Chicago and
the credit of the city and the fate of
the exposition was hanging in the bal
ance, Philip d. Armour bought half
n million dollars of gold in Europe and
offered help to the big institutions of
the city from his cash resources in Chi
cago. With business of $1OO,OOO,OOO
a year in the packing department
alone, grain business of half that
amount and practically the owner Of a
great railway system, the estimates OF
his wealth at the utmost figure appear
modest instead of exaggerated.

FARMERS COMING
TO COLORADO

Denver, Colo. Jan. 7.-"Fhere is an
astonishing number Of inquiries con
corning farming and ranch lands in
Colorado and adjoining states this
winter" remarked Land Agent Want
land of the Union Pacific road to Il
News reporter. Enquiries are arriving
from all parts of the country and espe-
cially from the colder regions Of the
northern states, where people appre-
ciate the advantages Of more equable
climate. The chilly winters nre freeZ-
ing them out and they want to come to
Colorado. Last year probably 5,OOO.-
900 acres of ranch land were disposed
of in the mountain states and the sales
will be much larger this year. A dis
tinct movement, started last year. Is
growing like snow ball rolling down
hill"
Mr.. Mainland gays colonization is not
popular as applied to lands In this
state, but colonies are forming In sew
eral of the eastern states to settle in
Idaho. The cultivation of the sugar
beet is the only occupation in Colorado
holding out special inducements to en-
tire colonies. The small percentage al
lowed agents who attempt the colony
system Is another objection against the
movement Of large numbers Of people
in one body. The agent would rather
take his chances in conducting west
ward a carload of eastern farmers in
easy circumstances than to land 100
families of colonists who require assist
ance during the first year after arriv-
ing at their new homes. The class of
farmers willing to break away from
old ties In the East for a wider field
under the Italian skies of Colorado is
improving each year. One land agent
has on his books the names of 800
families he has brought to Colorado
"In the entire list" said he, there Is
only one kicker"

Gold Accumulation.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE gross
gold In the treasury to-day" said Ellis
II. Roberts, United States treasurer.
lis $3.50, 7O9, OO5, breaking all records.
At the end of March. 1899, the treas
ury held 1926. 293, 9O1, which was the
largest sum accumulated during any
administration In recent years until
within the last two or three years.
Our immense gold holdings are due, of
course, to the great prosperity of the
country, to the increased production of
gold in all directions, and In large part
to the fact that the United States is
now the creditor nation Of the world
Mr.. Roberts thought that for the
present at least there would continue
to be an increase in the the treasury
holdings of gold, but it might be re-
duced somewhat should the reduction
of the war revenue taxes be SO heavy
as to run the expenditures close to the
receipts.
