of so years of hard playing can be pro-

Two remarkable happenings are
reported from Mississippi In one
case a negro was hanged and pro-
nounced dead by physicians who at
tended the execution. After the
negro was cut down he came to life
and is enjoying his freedom because
it has been decided that he is dead
from a legal standpoint. In the
other instance mob hanged a negro,
put II bullets into him, and left him
for dead He regained consciousness
while being prepared for burial, but,
as he could not take advantage of
any legal technicality, he did not es-
cape. He has been sentenced to ten
years in prison.

Silver Climbing.

An FL Paso dispatch says: From
persons closely in touch with the Off
cial circle of Mexico, it is learned
that it is the purpose of that govern
ment to permanently establish the
value of its silver dollar at 80 cents
gold That is the proposition with
which the monetary commission will
have to deal and within the next few
months, it is stated, the Mexican dol
lar will be worth 80 cents gold in any
part of the world The monetary
census, completed a short time ago,
shows that there are 800, 600, 900
silver dollars in circulation in Mexico
and when the value of each is ad-
vance to 90 cents it will cause a phe-
nominal change in the business situa-
ton. This means that the price of
silver will 90 to "a cents an ounce.

Not the How"

4 late number Of The Eldorado Re
publican says We didn't know
until to-day how the Indians made
the finest arrow heads that are often
found all over the country They
had no tool to work with, and the
question how they made them was
not answered. Abe Mathney, who
was for many years heap big chief
Of the Washoe tribe, says the squaws
broke flint rock into small pieces by
placing it into the fire. They then
select a suitable piece for an arrow
head, held it on the fire until it got
hot, then put a drop of water on it,
which clipped off a small particle Of
flint, and by this slow and tedious
process the squaws shaped the ar
row heads. All OF which was not
the how. The undersigned has ex-
ahmed mountain OF flnt, where
there we're thousands Of fragmentary
arrow and spear heads in evil
dence but no signs of fire, ancient or
or otherwise, anywhere visible. The
obsidian or volcanic glass, splinters
at blow. Then no other implement is
necessary than a nicked piece of the
same rock, with which the edges are
Clipped off until the desired form is
obtained. Heat sufficient to cause
fracturing upon sudden cooling would
fuse and dull the edges. Provided
with a boulder of flint and a pair of
pincers, an industrious boy could sup
ply the eastern museums with pre-
historic arrow heads by the bushel.

is only 50, 900, which speaks volumes
for Senator Newlands public spirit

for 100000. The dispatch states

Should Never Despair.

Because a district is supposed to
have been thoroughly prospected
once where the indication are favor
able for finding mineral, is no reason
why it would not pay to look over it
again, as since it had been abandoned
rains may have washed the soil and
exposed valuable float rock or even
veins. 1t is rule among prospec-
tors that il no float containing metal
is found at the base of mountains or
hills where rock groupings are visi-
Bile, that it Is not worth while to as
cend them to get nearer view, for
if they contain mineral values some
Of the float would be seen in the drift
which represents the accumulations
of countless centuries. AT Minas
Nuevas, one of the Oldest mining dis
tricts in Mexico, which had been

WAS CHARMING HOSTESS.
Mrs. Harriet Lane JOhnstOn Who Was
White House Mistress Under
President Buchanan,

The recent serious illness of Mrs.
Harriet Lane Johnston, and the an
nouncement that she will this sum-
mer visit various American resorts
in an effort to regain her health, has
again brought into the public eye
one OF the most interesting feminine
figures in American history. So qui-
city has the famous niece of Presi-
dent James Buchanan lived in WASH
ington during recent years that the
general reading public has had oppor-
tunity to realize that n place is yet
occupied in the social life a, the
capital by a woman who was the
most noted of antibellum days, and
the greatest of all the bellies of the
white house.
Mrs. Johnston has. since the ascen-
sion of President Roosevelt to the ma
tons highest position, been several
times prevailed upon to assist in the
dispensation of hospitality at the
white house, and there is a particu-

like the bed of mountain stream,
and the winds made umbrellas sar-
casm. She enjoyed every step of the
walk and reached the theater in gale
of laughter and high spirits. 1t is this
abundant vitality, this capacity for
getting fun out of things which annoy
or bore most people that give COM
polling charm to her art, and . rare,
sweet vivacity to her personality.
For a time Miss Marlowe had a house
of her own in New York city. but this
she has now given up. Her only home
IL her country place in the western part
Of the Catskill mountains. This she
called "Highmount," and from the
windows of the house there is a glori-
Gus view of a dozen mountain peaks.
The house is a large one of colonial
architecture, a part of which, the brick
terrace, the theater-going public saw
reproduced on the stage without know
ing the fact, for the first tentative re-
hearsal of "When Knighthood Was in
Flower" was given on the brick terrace
on to which the main iving-room of
her house opens. This terrace was so
effective for grouping and for exits and
entrances that the architecture of it
was copied in the reproduction of a
Tudor brick terrace which forms a
part of the stage setting in the first
act of the play.
Her estate consists of 400 acres, and
only the smaller part of her large es-
tate is laid out In lawn, garden and
driveways. That portion of her pos
sessions which she has with admirable
taste allowed to remain wholly "unim-
proved" is by far the greater part of
the estate. Still in its original Wild
ness, it is criscrossed by mountain
streams, cleft by deep ravines, and
overgrown with a network of vines
and forest trees that have never known
the woodlands ak. Here the happiest
hours of Julia Marlowe's life are spent,
and thither she goes Immediately her
professional work ends for the season.
which is usually toward the end Of
May, and there she remains until the
end of September.

ENJOYS OUTDOOR LIFE.
Stage, Spends Much of Her Time
In the Open Air.

Miss Julia Marlowe's outdoor diver
sions are golf, driving and AUTOMOBILE
ing. She does a prodigious amount of
walking all the year round. Her love
of nature is almost primitive In its in
tensity. Asked once what was her
greatest ambition, she said it was to
''lead such a normal life that can get
up every morning in time to see the
sun rise" Often she will dismiss her
carriage and revel in facing wind and
weather on foot. An acquaintance ac-
companied her from her hotel to the
theater one March night in the teeth
of driving storm. The sidewalk was
