FIFE HOLDUP OF
 MARY ASHTON
tOrigiaaL1

lOrigi2aL1
 Mary Ashton had a remarkable tai. int for all games. Mary's father went to Colorado with his family and en- gagged in banking before the days when railroads carried people everywhere. Mary showed as much aptitude at western sports, shooting, riding, skat- Ing, as she had shown at other games A natural fearlessness was a great helc 10 her in these more manly sports.
 That was the time Redhand Bill, as he was called, was masquerading as Q road agent. He was one of the gentle. manly raseals who invite men to hand over their purses in true Robin Hood style and was especially gallant to tho women he robbed. One day Mir. Ash neighboring town, and there was no one at hand by whom to send it. He was complaining at home of his want of messenger when his daughter Mary spoke up:
 "I'll take it, father"
 Your Suppose Redhand Bill were to hold you up. What would you doT"
 ''They say he is very gallant to wom. en."
 Yes, but he always takes their val. uables"
 Mary persevered. and her father, thinking there would be no trouble, or, if there were, a woman would fare no worse than a man. consented. The next day Mary left with the money, which she chose to carry in her grip sack. The coach had traversed most of the route when a man stepped into the road, leYeled a rife at the drivers head and called on him to draw rein. This done, the agent invited the pas sengers to alight and line up in the usu- al way. He relieved them of their funds - no great haul - but when he came to Mary Ashton's bag his eyes stood out with delight.
 Good morning. Bill said Mary.
 Good morning, beauty" replied Bill, good natured at his find, while tre- nor ran through the line at the girls temerity. How did you know my name's Bill?"
 "oh, I've often heard of Redhand Bill and wanted to meet him. They say you are fine euchre player. I've always wanted to see how you played your hands Cant we have a gamer
 Bill stood looking at her in as great astonishment as the passengers.
 Certainly. Got any cards:'
 T always carry them to pass the time on journey"
 Mary produced q pack of cards. and Bill. after disarming the passengers, permitted them to lower their hands, and he and Mary sat down to game.
 I'm Banker Ashton's daughter. If I had a blank check, I'd fill 1t in for a stake"
 The road agent always carried blank cheeks. for he frequently compelled his

 Silver continues rather strong on the surface. The speculative interest in London has acted on the probability of short supplies of future metal-a conclusion which seems hardly war ranted by facts. However, this inter- est has succeeded in squeezing the bears in the metal and in maintaining the price at rather a high level. They were aided during the past week by the fact that large purchases were made in London by brokers who are commonly understood to act for the India Council, and it is generally be- .lieved that considerable, purchases are being made for Indian coinage. Our own treasury department made the usual purchase this week, 310,000 oz.. for Philippine coinage, the average price paid being 54 1-2 cents, deliv- cred at the mint.-Engineering and Mining Journal.

HIGGINS DEVELOPMENT

A prominent official of the Higgins Development company, whose stock recently Heated at $5 per share, was subscribed for several times over and was then quickly bid up to about three times its subscription price, writes to a friend in Boston, states the Boston Journal, disavowing all responsibility for the craze" that has developed in connection with the stock. He says:
 The demand for the Higgins Devel- ment stock was away beyond our ex- pectations. We were so flooded with orders for the same that the board of directors had to decide upon letting those who were in by certain hour and their stock fully paid for have the stock, and to bar out all others. More than this, the owner of the Higgins claim was insistent upon the closing of the bargain without an hours de lay. and in order to get the attorneys to Los Angeles in time to accomplish this result it was necessary to close up the Notation without the slightest de lay
 As soon as the stock was all allot- ted, those who did not get it com menced bidding double and ripple sub scription prices for it, which was something the promoters did not care to see. Some ofShe people who were anxious 10 sell Q portion of their hold ings in order 10 make the balance stand them as velvet helped this boom along, but we who have had to do with this whole fiotation are radi- cally opposed to this sort of thing and propose to lend our influence so far as is possible to bring the stock back to at least S7 or sS per share.
 We wanted it to be promoted on a purely business basis. While we have perfect confidence in the property and believe that the stock is worth s1OO or more per share, we have no disposition to force it by boom meth ods. Il is our intention, as is well understood. 10 change the Develop ment company into a mining organi- zation at an early date. and it is very possible that there may be a like scramble to get the stock, but We pro- pose so far as is possible to hold this craze in check, as we are anxious only for such market improvement as the value of the property shall actually warrant Michigan Ex.

THE CAUCUSES
In WASHINGTON
Republicans and Democrats Nominate
Candidates For Speaker.
WILLIAMS MINORITY LEADER.
Brief Outline of the Policy He Has
Decided On---ReaIizes the Cuban Treaty
Will Pass With Little Debate Minority
May Have a Chance on Canal Question

Washington, d. C.-Representative
John Sharp Williams was chosen with
unanimity by the Democratic caucus.
to be the minority leader of the House
for the present Congress. At the same
time a resolution was adopted asking
that the Republicans accord to the
minority a larger membership on the
important committees, such as was had
in the last congress but me-. Until
two years ago, the minority had sever
seats on the Ways and Means and
other large committees, but when the
Republican majority was greatly in
increased, at the beginning of the last
Congress, but six places were allowed.
Mr.. Williams when asked by cores
pondents to outline his policy for the
coming session, replied: mo party
policy was adopted by the caucus ex-
cept to demand a larger representation
on the important committees of the
House. Speaking for myself, I may
say I have never seen such harmony
in the party as exists today. and it
shall be my endeavor to promote it in
every way. 1--WE recognize that
the opposition is strong enough to
force its reciprocity scheme through
the House with but little debate, but
the Democrats will insist that instead
of reducing the tariff to affect the
products of any one State, there
should be a reduction in the duties all
along the line. When the question
comes before the Senate it will not be
merely one of reciprocity with Cuba.
Reciprocity with Canada and the rati-
ication Of the pending treaty with
France also will be urged with a great
deal of vigor." Referring to the hasty
recognition which was accorded the
Republic of Panama by the United
States, Mr.. Williams said that perhaps
it was simply good luck that United
States gunboats were in close proximi-
ty to the trouble when it occurred, and
that people might be led to believe
that the Administration had nothing
to do with the uprising, but If such
were true, the United States was ex-
ceedingly fortunate in being in q
position to acquire sovereignty to the
canal territory with little difficulty.

The members of the Louisiana dele
cation, or rather such Of them as have
already reached Washington, are Of
opinion that debate upon the Cuban
reciprocity measure which will be
taken up in the house for considera-
tiun next week will be closely limited.
They very very much doubt whether
permission will be given them or the
friends of the domestic sugar pro-
ducers to offer amendments to the Re-
publican scheme Of reciprocity with
Cuba. The adoption by the Repub-
lican caucus of the old .inflexible Reed
rules during the continuance of the
extraordinary session gives color to
the declar atoms OF the friends of the
domestic producers that reciprocity is
to be put through with a rush, and
that the voice of the minority is to be
throttled 1t is generally believed that
not more thad ten days will be taken
up in the House in disposing of the
measure. when it will then go to the
Senate for consideration.
