Miqht Send One Up Here

Some weeks ago Abe Cohn discov-
cred that the monkeys in his meneg-
arie were very fond OF dandelion
flowers. He has had lot plucked
every day and fed to the little cni-
mails, entirely unaware of the fortune
that lies within his grasp. Dande-
lions are the bane of the lawn-own-
ers existence. They spring up faster
than they can be removed and they
multiply like the interest on a mort
gage. Now if Abe Cohn will procure
one hundred feet of fish line, attach
the same to his monkeys, and rent
them out by the hour to pluck dan
delions in the lawns about town, he
can close up his store and live In
opulence forever and day. 1t Is
more than likely also that they could
be taught to pick the scale on the
shade and fruit trees. The possioll-
tiles of the monkey industry are sim
ply boundless.-Carson News.

Probably An EDITORS Wife

Railroad Detective William Ahearn
had a surprising experience yesterday
afternoon, being startled by a shower
of golden double eagles that fell from
stray telescope basket that an eX-
pressman was removing to his wagon
from the baggageroom at the depot.
For the protection of all concerned,
the basket was opened and found to
contain $3.50 in gold coin that had
been wrapped in a piece OF brown pa
per and tied with bit of string. The
lady who owned the basket was sent
for and reclaimed her property. She
said she came from Placerville and
was going to visit friends in this city
but declined to tell her name. she
said she was not surprised to get her
money back. as she never supposed
that a railroad company would let any
of its customers lose anything through
the carelessness of its employees. She
could not understand that there could
be any safer way of carrying money
than the method she took. After
thanking Mr.. Ahearn and Others for
their courtesy. she took her leave

SOME LUCKY
ACCIDENTS
Vast Fortunes Have Been
Made by What Seemed to
be Freaks of Luck
SENATOR TABOR'S START
How the Great CONS mstock Lode's
Real Value Was Discovered
After Great Waste
SENATOR TABOR'S START

Accidents play quite considerable
part in the discovery of mineral de-
posits. Many examples are on record.
The Freiburg mines, in Saxony, were
discovered by soldier, whose horse
picked up a stone in his shoe; this
stone was heavy lead ore. Copper was
found in South Australia from exami-
nation of green mineral in borrowings
of the wombat. Diamonds in South
Africa and gold in California were
found by chance. A geologist discov-
cred phosphate of lime in France by
analyzing sand that was used to give
a violet color to brick. Any mineral
of a peculiar appearance in a district
should be carefully examined. For
years the great Comstock lode in Ne
vada was worked for gold, and the
rich yellow sand, which eventually
turned out to be silver chloride, was
being thrown away. The Broken Hill
silver mine. it is believed. was first
pegged out for tin. The porous pun
ice ore of Mount Morgan was sold
for cleaning hearths before its value
became known.
Senator Tabor. when he ran a small
grocery store in Leadville, grubstaked
several prospectors who had claim
on Carbonate Hill. They sank some lit
tie distance. and not reaching the con-
tact became somewhat disheartened.
They determined to get even with
the kind grocer, so they got some
OF the rich ore from the other pros
poets in the camp and rammed it into
the bottom of the shaft. Tabor came
along took a pick. broke out some
of the pieces of the good ore from
the bottom of the shaft. had them
assayed, and found that they con-
tanned high values in silver and lead,
so he was quite willing to purchase
his partners interests in the property.
1t was not long before that bonanza
was exhausted, and he was in country
rock again He saw that he had been
swindled, but determined to prosecute
work, and it was not long before he
reached the actual contact of the lime
and felsite, where he found one Of
the greatest bonanzas ever discover
ed in that marvellous camp. This made
the fortune that eventually made him

Democrats and the Presidency.

1t is stated that, after all, the democrats
of Massachusetts at their coming state con-
vention will not indorse Richard Olney for
the presidency. Many of his admirers desire
such action, and have organized quite a
sentiment in favor Of 1t, but the weight of
opinion is against it. The Boston Herald
regrets the decision. and gives some excel
lent reasons why Mr. Olney should thus
be complmented by his party friends. Mr..
Olneys attitude in the case is not indicated.
He may not care for that sort of thing. He
is not politician, and the ways Of poll
ticians may not always be acceptable to
him.
There will be, then, this year no name
formally presented for the democracy's
great prize. The democrats of New York
hold no state convention, and hence the
question to whether Mr.. Hill wants in
structions for himself, or is willing that
Judge Parker shall receive them, remains
undecided Neither will there be occasion
for the democrats of New Jersey to express
themselves as to Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Cor
man could easily have secured instructions
for himself in Maryland, but evidently
thought it best not to Introduce that issue
into the state campaign. In Ohio Tom
Johnson got everything he wanted, but as
could not of course ask for presidential in
structions also.
Nevertheless the country is not left in the
dark on this subject. The names of Mr..
Cleveland. Mr.. Olney, Mr. German, Mr..
Hill and Judge Parker will continue to
figure In the presidential speculation, and
democrats here and there will carefully

The New Jersey Amendments.

For two years the lawyers Of New Jersey
have been trying to secure the amendment
of the state constitution in certain respects
in the interest, they aver, of a smoother ad-
ministration of justice. The amendments
were submitted to the voters of the state
this week and as the returns now stand
they appear to have been lost by a narrow
margin. The vote was remarkably light
being scarce ten per cent of the normal
vote for candidates. The people took very
little interest in the contest for and against
adoption. although the lawyers conducted a
vigorous campaign Of education and the
labor unions of Paterson waged sharp
fight in opposition. The workingmen were
led to believe that the amendments tended
to increase the power of the courts and to
diminish personal rights. The heaviest ma
jority in all the counties against the amend
ments was cast in Passaic county, wherein
Paterson is situated. Here are the great
silk mills which furnish from time to time a
disproportionate share of the states labor

The returns indicate that the whole ballot

The Adirondacks Murder.

From the reports of the murder of Million
aire Dexter in the Adirondacks 1t would
appear that the men who go into that region
and buy large tracts of land for the purpose
of preserving the forests and the game run
terrible risk OF reprisals at the hands of
the native residents. Since the Dexter kill
ing report has been received that shots
have been lately fired at the esta blishment
of MIR. William Rockefeller, in the same
neighborhood. presumably by angered
hunters and timber cutters. The search for
Dexter's slayer thus far has been Ruthless
and there would seem to be little chance of
capturing him. The dense forests stretch
for many miles from the scene of the kill
ing. and even If the neighbors were all
friendly to the chase the chances Of cap
ture would be slight indeed. But the ami
mostly which led one man to shoot to kill
exists in more moderate degree in the
breasts of scores of others, who would do
all in their power to shelter the murderer
This spirit of resentment springs from the
curtatling Of old privileges enjoyed by the
residents of the woods. They have for
long time been permitted either by direct
consent of owners or by the laXity of the
legal administration. to cut timber and to
shoot and to use the lands of others as
passageways. and when Mr.. Dexter bought
park and fenced 1t in and issued orders
that all trespassers should be punished he
became the object Of intense hatred. He
was litigous. too, and carried cases into
court in great number. A lawless spirit
prevailed and It's elimination in a murder
is not surprising in view Of the intensity of
the feelings on both sides
