Wells. Fargo Medals.

Yesterday was the fiftieth anniver-
sary of Wells-Fargo & Co. In order
to celebrate the semi-centennial OF its
existence the late president of the cor
poration, John J.. Valentine, conceived
the plan Of having silver medals the
size of a dollar stricken OFF and pre-
sented to each employee of the company
who had ben at least a year in the
service. The successor of Mr.. Valen-
tine. the latter being an old Nevadan
and remembered by the pioneers, fol-
lowed Mr.. Valentines wishes to the
letter and the medals were sent out
several days ago. They are works OF
art and neat in the extreme. Each
came encased in a plush box.

The comedy TOO Rich to Marry"
was presented to a crowded house in
Armory hall last night. Though de-
void of plot, the piece was a contin-
Gus performance of funny situations
and the audience was kept In convul-
sions most of the time. The company
is an excellent one in its entirety, but
Ed. Redmond, in the leading role, was
the bright particular star OF the per-
Torrance. The part of John Bradbury
is an original creation and gave Red
mond a chance to introduce facial ex-
pressions and voice intonations inim-
table and artistic. Several good spec
ialties were introduced.

Real Estate Purchase.

Yesterday Alfonso Pasquale pur-
chased from r.. T. vans twelve lots in
block ]. in uppertown. The lots are
situated on Bridge and Railroad
streets, and comprise half a block. The
price paid for the lots was $1,000, A
year ago they were transferred for
81, zoe.
Mr.. P~asquale's purchase of the lots
in question doubtless means more than
a mere real estate transfer. He is a
public-spirited citizen and the invest
ment in the lots will doubtless be fol-
lowed by somthing substantial in the
way of building improvements.

ton of the wonderful mosaics. With the
aid of my Baedeker, 1 really managed to
exact some information from his talk. But
he had no time to dwell on any feature of
the place. At railroad speed he rushed me
through the aisles and then, making his
exit through a side door. said Now 1 will
show you the lace industry connected with
the cathedral" With that he rushed me
over a bridge and up to the door of the
best known lace shop in Venice. 1 knew
what he was doing. but as 1 intended visit
ing the shop, l let him take me in. This
is the school of lacemaking.' he said, as
we entered a second-story room where
some thirty girls were busy with pins,
cushions and linen thread, turning out laces
in beautiful designs. A woman overseer
took charge Of me and explained the diff
ferent kinds of work being done. Then she
opened a door and 1 found myself in a
salesroom. 1t was a very beautiful sales
room and the salesman who took charge
of me did not urge me to buy. He was so
pleasant that presently l said to him:
What commission do you pay to the man
who brought me here?" He asked me who
the man was-if he was a guide or one of
the hangers-on OF the Piazza San Marco.
l said he was one of the small army of
hangers-on. ''Oh. we pay them nothing
regularly said the pleasant salesperson.
HE gets a little drink money now and then.
Tha is all we give the gondoliers. We
know that they really never influence any
one to buy, though they are useful in bring
ing customers to the shop. But to the
regular guides of Venice we pay 10 per
cent. of the amount of your purchase. 1t
is so everywhere in Italy"
UNFORTUNATE CABMEN.
And so 1 am sure it is. 1 recalled the
opportunities of the cabmen of Naples. 1t
was almost by main force that l made one
of them take me to the shop where 1
wanted to go. He would show me a much
better shop-a cheaper shop-a nearer shop.
Anything to persuade me to let him take
me to the shop whose keeper would pay
him a percentage on what 1 bought. OF
course, that percentage would come out
of nett would De added to the selling
price of the article l wanted.
After that first experience 1 never took
a gondola in Venice that the gondolier did
not turn his PROV toward the lace shop
or the glass factory; and many were the
opportunities 10 visit museums where
antiques were for sale. 1t is rather trouble
some, this continued campaign against your
pocket; it robs your stay in Venice of some
of its pleasure. But you must endure it
no one escapes.
At least Venice is not overrun with beg

steer in the direction of General Harrison's
marquee. Slowly and cautiously he worked
himself toward the entrance. and was in
the act of drawing a pistol when a guard
shot him in the knee. The report was
echoed by a volley and war whoops from
every side.
They're on us. boys shouted my
father. Then. turning to Captain Spencer:
Captain, shall draw up the men on foot,
or horseback ON foot, sergeant, and
advance to the timber
The camp was a huge fiat iron in shape,
my fathers company forming the point.
The brunt of the battle fell upon them. and
as they now stumbled onward in the dark
ness bullets began 10 fall thickly about
them. Soon Captain Spencer cried out that
he was hit. Uncle Bev was nigh, and
catching him in his arms he carried him
to a neighboring tent. When. a few mo-
ments later, my father went to learn his
condition, the brave captain was dead. An
artery had been severed by a bullet in the
groin.
Early in the fight Uncle Bill took a post
behind a fallen tree. There was a picket
line in front which the Indians had passed,
and. as now and then a dark form fitted
behind him and the light, Uncle Bill
would take quick aim and pull the trigger.
He fired three times, and then rose to ad-
vance, but a bullet grazing his side warned
him to remain. Before changing his posi-
ton he shot six additional times. At day
break the effect was shown by frequent
pools of blood in a straight line between
the fire and log. My father often COM
pared them 10 the train which would have
been made by slowly dragging a hog with
his throat cut from one point to the
other.
MEANT TO SAVE HIS BREAKFAST.
During the hottest of the engagement,
a friend of my father was observed to
leave repeatedly the shelter of the woods
and. at the risk of his life. walk to the
campfire and remain a few seconds. His
companions demonstrated, demanding an
explanation. It's only a pot of soup I'm
