FIVE HUNDRED GOLD BRICKS
That Number Sent in One Shipment
Of Bullion from New York
TO Philadelphia.

Five hundred gold bricks-not
the kind so dear To the heart of the
investing agriculuurist, but the
sort Uncle sam deals in-were
loaded into the treasure wagons
of the United States Express Co..
at the assay Office one morning, re.
Gently, driven rapidly TO the Liber
~ street ferry and SO transported
to the mint at Philadelphia,
where they are TO be converted
into gold coin. The total weight
Of the gold was in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000 or $4,000 pounds
seven or seven and a half tons.
Its value was about 1900, 900, says
the New York Sun.
This is part of a shipment of
$10,0OO,000 worth of gold in bars
from this Office to the mint in Phil
adelphia within the past four or
five days." said Superintendent
Mason, of the ASSAY office. "We
send no guards with the treasure.
This is a matter for the express
company. We have a contract
with them to carry our coin and
precious metals and they take all
the responsibility from the time
the consignment leaves the door
of the assay Office until it is de-
livered within the doors of the
mint. The gold bars are packed
boxes averaging somewhere in the
neighbOrhOod Of $50, 900 to a box.
Each gold bar weighs from 2S to
30 pounds and is worth in the
neighborhOOd of $4,000"
In the back room of the assay
Office were a couple of boxes, on
small hand trucks partially filled
with the gold bars.
"Be careful of your fingers"
said an attendant as a reporter
picked up one of the bars and re-
placed it on end by the side of its
mates. "YOu would be surprised
to know how those gold bars will
pinch if you give them a chance to.
Their dead weight is so great in
proportion to their size that their
edges will cut right into the flesh
if you get your fingers in between.
We have to be very careful in
handling them"
At the United States express
Office it was said that three armed
guards accompanied the precious
metal from the time it was re.
ceived into the express company's
wagons until it was delivered into
the mint, the guards riding in the
wagons and express car all the
way.
"We recently carried a lot of
gold coin for the government
from here to San Francisco" said
a clerk in the express Office, "and
| armed guards accompanied the
treasure all the way across the
continent-not the same guards
who started with it from New
York, but relays of guards picked
up at points on the way. The coin
was destined for tie Philippines"

DOWN THE MESA TO SCHOOL
Curious Sight Presented by the Chill
dren Of the MOqui In
dian Tribe.

II we stood about seven O'Clock
IN the morning near the foot of the
Oraiba mesa in Arizona We should
BEE a most interesting sight, re,
tates a writer in the New York
Sun.
The iiat-topped elevations called
pesas are very common features
Of the arid plains Of Arizona.
Some of them have for ages been
the homes of Indian tribes
whose enemies could not easily
teach the tops of these big rocks,
and so those who lived on them
were comparatively safe.
This particular mesa is the
home of the Oraibi branch of the
MOqui'tribe, Perched high in the
air on their little plateau, the
elders still practice the snake
dance and other famous rites of
their fathers,
Only a few years ago they were
salled hostile because they Op-
posed more strenuously than the
other Moquis the Introduction of
white influences among them.
When it was proposed TO erect a
BchOOlhOuse near the base of the
mesa, and to place all the children
in the school, the parents stub
bOrnly refusing to permit it. They
yielded finally, however, to firm
pressure, and every child of school
age was placed in the school.
The enterprise has been a great
success, and whoever stands near
the school at seven o'clock in the
morning and looks up at the pla-
teau 500 feet above hum suddenly
sees children begin to spill over
the edge of the mesa. One child
BOmes into view behind another,
and soon the face of the great rock
is alive with them as they descend
the steep zigzag path leading to
the bottom of the mesa and the
school.
The sight interests visitors be.
cause it is so unusual. The little
folk seem to be hanging to the
wall Of the mighty rock as they
slowly descend it's face.
They keep pouring over the
edge and the head of the line has
reached the school on the plain be-
low before the last of it leaves the
top Of the mesa. When the strag-
Cling line comes fully into view it
Us seen to be nearly half a mile
long, and its cOnvOlutions on the
path bear some resemblance to
the movements of a snake.
There are IT'S children in this
school, and in attendance it is said
to head the list of Indian day
schools in the country. A fine new
building costing over $4,000 has
taken the place of the first school,
and it is said that after once being
placed there, wearing the new
clothes provided for every pupil,
they never miss a day.

hard work to record every blow that
landed on the respective anatomies Of
the Portuguese devil and Alderman
the handsome monster. This punch.
ing match was the best of the prelim
inaries. The contest was not unmixed
with wrestling, clinching was common
and Jimmie Fox sweated of several
pounds separating the sluggers.
Alderman opened the ball by pastins
Silva square on the nose, tapping the
carminc.
Silva came back with a full weight
bunch of padded right knuckles in the
giants wind.
Again and again, Alderman pound.
ed the demons smeller, stats and slot,
sending his head back with jar that
wound have cracked a Pinch plank;
again and again Silva arrived with his
muffled dukes on the big mans wind
and ribs. Both breathed hard after
the first round. Staggering blows were
exchanged. There were no signs Of
kissing in the clinches.
At the end of the third round Silva
had Alderman going. In the fourth
round the latter gave the Punchbowl
wonder awful punishment although he
himself did not escape some unloving
smashes. Silva's face looked like a
map of Port Arthur after a japanese
victory; Ackerman's face was not al.
together SO pretty as when he went
into the engagement.
Jackson and Mcdonald put up a
clever exhibition for six rounds. Each
had the other down once. Some hard
hits were snapped. Mcdonald was
the aggressor for the most part. Jack.
son was particularly clever in lodging
some heavy blows.
st. Clair and Soares went at each
other hot and heavy for four rounds
the former getting the decision.

PEOPLE AND EVENTS.

1t is said that Henry Payne Whitney
will keep the racing stable of his late
father intact.
Gov. Dockery, of Missouri, carries a
plain walking cane, in the handle of
which, inlaid in toroise shell, is his full
name. ''It is gift from convict whom
pardoned," said Mr.. Dockery in an
swer to a question. ''The man had served
II years and I thought that was long
enough. He promised to behave himself
and he is keeping his word"
The entire fortune of Moses B. Clens-
ents, of Portland, Me-, amounting to
about 100000, has been left to trus-
tees, who have been directed to distribute
it "to benefit society, relieve distress,
charitable and benevolent associations,
objects and individuals" The matter of
distribution is left entirely to the discre-
tion Of the executors, the only restric-
tion being that they shall have disposed
of the entire estate in the manner in
dicated within ten years.
George ]. Gould, physically, is in
striking contrast to not few of the d.
rectors Of the Gould companies who
were so actively identified with the late
Jay Gould. George Gould's fondness
for sports and athlete games keeps him
in excellent physical condition. He al
most invariably arrives at his Office in
the Western Union building at 1876
Broadway little before ten a. m. His
pace is swift and only good walker can
keep up with him. Often in the coldest
weather he comes with his overcoat on
his arm, and nearly always works in his
shirt sleeves while in his office.

Negro Preacher Invites Extermina-
ton Of His People by Advising Open
Resentment to the Whites.
New York, March Unemployment
negro to defend his rights and to stop
the lynching of blacks by white men
has been openly recommended in a.
sermon by Rev. F M. Jacobs in an
African M. E. church of Brooklyn.
He said the negroes of Springfield,
O., where black man was dragged
from Jail and strangled to death by
a mob should carry on war of re-
prisal and burn their enemies out
of business" The sermon created a
marked sensation.
IF wars are good for nations they
are good for races. Bishop Brown
of the Methodist Episcopal says that
race war is inevitable in this coun-
try and the negro will be exterminat-
ed. This is not true, for the negro
is no coward; he will fight, and in
war between the races he will give
as good en- account of himself as he
did at Fort Wagner and before Pet
ersbuPg. They tell us to pray but
we have been praying and praying,
and now is the time for the negro
to assert his manhood
"The day is coming, the hour is ap-
proachingS when this must be DONE.
for no race under the sun ever got
its liberty without fighting for it.
There must be some sacrifice of
life, if need be, to obtain the liberties
of people.
"Many of our lives are to be sacri-
feed if we are to attain to manhood
In this country. l love to tell you
to pray, but all prayers and no fight
ing will do no good.

FoRTY-EIGHTH DAY.

The joint legislative conference
committee on the uniform book bill
last week recommended that tho SEN
ate do not concur in the several
amendments and it do concur in other
provisions attached to the bill, by the
house. The chief non-concurrence
recommendation Is relative to the man
ner of selecting the commission, and
this has been the principal bone of
contention ever since the first uniform
book bill was introduced. A lengthy
wrangle ensued, the result of which
was the appointment of another con-
ference committee on the part of the
senate and the discharging of the old
committee The present indications
for the passage of the school book bill
before adjournment are decidedly
poor, and the book lobbyists have man
aged to accomplish just what they de-
sired, by getting the two bodies at log
gerheads with each other
The senate Indefinitely postponed
the bill seeking to repeal the act in
cooperating the Yazoo & Mississippi
Valley road, which gives it exemption
from supervision by the railroad COM
mission. The exemption was granted
in good faith, in the opinion of many
members, who thought it should be al
lowed to stand.
The house passed the appropriation
bill for the Alcorn A. & NJ College
carrying $5S, S,184.54, and the national
guard appropriation bill carrying ST.
500 per year.
A few other appropriation bills and
measures of no general interest were
passed by the house.
