observer of the speakership contest the
other day to a Washington correspond
ent of the New York Tribune. Just
think Of how the fellows he has turned
down will go for him when congress
meets! l can just see them now, first
giving out a little interview declaring
themselves as still on the fence on the
speakership candidacy and then going
around to Uncle Joe and saying, Wen,
now, how about that little matter-thAt
appropriation for my district | have
been trying to get into the sundry civil
bill for so long? Huh! 1t seems to me
they will have Uncle joe between the
devil and the deep blue sea. I don't
know which would be harder for him
to do-to have to give up some of those
appropriations he has denied the boys
or see the votes slipping away from
him. It's kind of rough on Uncle Joe,
but it will be nuts for the boys"

GIBRALTAR'S NEW CAVE.
Novel Discovery Made In the
Famous Rock.

A most interesting discovery was
made lately on the eastern side of Glib
raltar rock, cave which from its di-
mansions bids fair to rival the cele-
brated st. Michaers cave, having been
disclosed during the progress of blast
ing operations at the quarry beneath
the Monkeys alameda, says the West
minister Gazette. The general direction
of this cave is east and west, and its
dimensions are approximately $50 feet
in length and 10 feet in height, with
a maximum width of 40 feet.
Like most caves, it diminishes in
height and width as it penetrates in
land until it dwindles to a mere ifs
sure about eighteen inches wide, which
can be seen to extend for some dis
lance farther. About half way in
there is an upper gallery or smaller
cave, which extends only a short way.
The stalactites and stalagmites are nu-
merous and varied in shape and size.
In several instances they have united
to form complete pillars. The entrance
to the cave is about 100 yards south Of
the eastern exit of the tunnel through
the rock.

DEPOSITED MONEY IN STOVE.
His Wife Built a Fire and Cash
Went up in Smoke.

Once again has the wisdom of dis
trusting the banks and hiding money
about the house been demonstrated-in
the usual negative manner. A Tren-
ton, N. j., man hid his money in the
bedroom stove; aud it vas a fair. sized
roll of bills. Man-like, he neglected
to take his wife into his confidence re-
speeding the Whereabouts of the cash.
The other morning his wife, like a
doubtful soul, thoughtful of the comfort
of her husband, arose early and finding
it quite chilly, made fire in the stove
in order that her lord might not have
to crawl into a frosty shirt. She
thought he would be grateful and COM
pliment her, but when he saw the red
and piping stove he almost lost his
wits as completely as he had lost his
horde.

FAMOUS GAMBLING PALACE.
Artistic Features of Canfield'S
Place in New York.

When Inspector Brooks of the New
York police and a corps of men from
his office under the personal direction
| of District Attorney Jerome, recently
raided the gambling house in New
| York owned and operated by Richard
| Garfield, the biggest and most infuen-
tial individual proprietor of gambling
house in the world, they found pala-
| tial home for games Of chance.
The walls of Canfeld's place are COW
cred with tapestries and paintings OF
great value, and soft, rich carpets cover
the floors, says the New York World.
The first floor is one immense parlor,
and the second floor, where the gam
bling apparatus was placed, is divided
into two rooms. In them the other
night were large mahogany tables, with
heavy carved legs.
The arrangements for lighting are
unique. While one is conscious that
scores of electric lights are shining
down on him, not one can be seen. By
means of panels light is softly reflected
into the room.
Canfeld's private rooms were the
greatest surprise to the raiders, how
ever. If the public rooms were mag
nificent, Canfield's were regal The
scheme of decoration that prevailed
throughout the house was seen there
also Among the pictures were several
of CanfieldS children, and one that es-
pecia4ly attracted attention was
painting of Garfield himself with the
arm of his laughing little daughter
about his neck. In the rear parlor on
the second floor was a buffet loaded
with silverware. Every article bore
the monogram Of the owner of the
house.
During the search of the house the
detectives carried little hammers. They
were instructed to use the hammers In
sounding the walls. They did not tap
very lightly, and several times Mr..
Garfield begged them not to strike so
hard, as he feared they would break
the frescoing and otherwise damage
the walls. Once a detective struck
handsome interlace monogram of moth
err of pearl, and a great piece OF the
pearl fell to the polished floor.
On the walls of the first floor were
beautiful specimens of inlaid mother of
pearl monograms and tracings. On the
ceilings were types of the highest art
of the fresco painter and artist.
Throughout the rooms were great pill
lars all gilded and respondent in gold
tracing.

Secretary Hay Taken for a Sport.

Secretary Hay is the most dignified

other day he told story of an eXpe-
rience he had when he went to New
York a few days ago. He took the
midnight train and in the morning
stopped at the station restaurant in
Jersey City to get cup of coffee, says
the Washington correspondent Of the
New York World. While he was drink
ing his coffee and nibbling a roll a
large, red faced man who was not at
all impressed by dignity nudged the
secretary of state with vigorous ell
bow and, pointing to the sugar. said:

PRESIDENTS GIFTS.
White House Chandeliers and
ManteIs Go to the Capitol.

Through the courtesy Of President
which have hung in the parlOrs of the
White House for many years are to be
placed in the capitol, says a Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Tribune.
There are nine of these chandeliers,
valued at 81 500 each, and all are OF
exceptional artistic merit. Two of
them will be placed in the rooms Of the
ways and means and the apprOpria
tons committees respectively, where
their numerous crystal prisms and sill
yer mountings will present handsome
contrast to the rich mahogany furni-
ture of the rooms Two of the largest
chandeliers, taken from the east room,
will hang in the lobby of the house Of
representatives, one will be placed in
the handsomely furnished room as
signed to the committee on the District
of Columbia, another will be placed
in the room reserved for the vice preSi-
dent, now occupied by Senator Frye,
Tie pIeoIucliC VI IhC oChdtO pAO ISAA''
still another will be placed in the room
used by the speaker of the house, and
the location of the other is yet to be
determined.
In addition to the chandeliers the
president has presented to the capitol
a number of marble mantels and book
cases which have heretofore been in
use in the White House and which will
be valued by the senators and repre-
sentatives 10 whose committee rooms
they are assigned because of their
beauty and their historic associations.

Conner rroat e. o. 1858 cents).


"Change for a quarter" explained
Professor Reeve, "could ordinarily be
ha6 in a single convenient denomina-
tion - that is, in three silver bits -
whereas now it requires two denomina-
lions, dimes and nickels, to make it.
The practical objections to relying up
on nickels alone for changing quarters
are obvious. The progress of business
toward finer margins and lower prices
is steadily making the cent too large
for many retail transactions. The small
er value of the groat harmonizeS with
this need"
The duodecimal system, as proposed
by Professor Reeve, necessitates the III
PRODUCTION of two new numbers. They
are inserted by him between the 8 ana
the 10. The first is peculiar looking
combination of the figure l and the U
and is called the dek; the second is IKE
an inverted 3 and is called an elm.
Thus when our decimal 10 is reached
it signifies a dozen. Professor Reeve
has compiled some interesting new
names for his duodecimal numbers,
sucb as "dozone" Ghirteen), "ftze" give
DOZEN, "twodz-nine" two dozen and
nine). etc. This, of course, brings IN
the use of the dek and elm, and he has
''dedZ" (dek dOZen), etc.

NEW CANE CUTTING DEVICE.
Simple Machine for Tropical Use
That One Man Can Operate.

A. Leblanc of New Orleans has in
vented a cane cutting machine which
he believes will do fine work in tropical
countries where the cane loses its
leaves when it is ripe. The machine
first cuts the cane at the top and then
at the ground, says the New Orleans
Times-Democrat. 1t * simple in con
struction and has few .UstaDle parts.
It is pulled along the cane rows by
means Of Il capstan fixed on the head
land, with which it is connected by
means of rope. There are two cap
STAINS used, one for hauling the ma
chine one way and the other for the
return trip. One man is all that is nee
essary for it's operation.
The machine consists of a wooden
frame supported on two wheels, on the
principle of the two wheeled cart. Two
shafts project out in front, but these
are for no other purpose than to scoop
in the cane for the knife. The knife,
which is stationary, projects out be-
tween the shafts and terminates at an
angle AS the machine moves along
the row the cane is gathered in be-
tween the shafts and the knife and is
cropped off about three feet from the
ground BY means of knife at the
back, which Mr.. Leblanc has not yet
arranged, the stalk viii be chopped off
at the ground. A rope is attached to
an upright in the center of the frame,
by means of which the machine may
be pulled from one end of the field to
the other
