James Edoff of San Francisco and
the Auditorium Hotel tells how the
game of high finance was worked out
in Nevada in the SOS. He says:
Il had a quasi uncle who was a
banker in a town we will call Rose
bud in Nevada. l was employed in
his bank, where 1 saw some things. 1
can tell you. The distance from Rose
bud to Howling Mill was 140 miles
and there were more holduDs on that
section of road in those days than
anywhere in the United States.
"A man We will call r. D.. Roberts,
a millionaire, came into the bank one
morning and told my uncle he wanted
to buy exchange for $1,000 on the
bank of Howling Hill.
"tAIl right said my uncle; it will
cost you $500
Roberts declared it was cheap at
the price.
Now, my uncle had no account
with the bank at Howling Hill and no
funds there. He had to draw on a
San Francisco bank and request them
to arrange the exchange for him. All
this he told to Roberts.
When Roberts was gone he said to
me: Jim, go out and get a candle

box When 1 brought in the box he
packed it full of sawdust, put $4,000
in the middle of the sawdust, nailed
down the box and addressed iL to the
cashier of the Howling Mill bank.
81 remember the stage wheeled
right up past the door of the bank
and on the front seal by the driver
sat Roberts. My uncle came out
with the box as the stage drew up.
Here, Roberts, catch this he
called, and he tossed up the candle
box to Roberts. AS you go by the
bank in Howling Hill throw it down,
will you? It's some quartz of some
mines here they want to look at.
Don't forget it,
"tAll right, 1 won't said Roberts,
and he tossed the box into the boot
along with other odds and ends.
That's how Roberts carried his
own money and paid $500 for the
privilege" concluded Mr.. Edof.
Mr.. Edof is rich and prosperous
now and is developing a literary turn.
He is thinking strongly of writing a
book of his "reminiscences of early
Nevada and California. He has hun
dreds of true stories, all as good as
this one he told recently.-Chicago

Gift to State Normal.

President Charles D. Melver, Of the
State Normal and Industrial College, at
Greensboro, has announced the receipt
from Mr.. Carnegie of 1885 for furni-
ture for the library at the college, to
which he has previously given $4,000.
Mr.. Carnegie gave Greensboro $4,000
for a library, and it will be the only
place in the country which will thus
have two libraries as his gift Speak
ing about what he desired the Legs
lature to give for the college. Mr.. Mel
yer said he only asked that it be plac-
ed wherever it was before the fire, with
$4,000 additional for Improvements.
The fire loss was more than $l0O,OO0.

ed to the wearers of Britain. 1t is
too iamboyant in style. There is an
eXtravagant female clientele over
there, delighting in the most expens-
i've and obtrusive gems, which has no
existence On this side of the channel"
Mr.. Newbegin gave it as his opin-
ion that the stocks in the great jewel
ry shops of Regent street and Bond
street amounted in value to close on
e5,000,00 Single stones costing
from $4,000 to $1,000 are by no
means uncommon.
This great wealth, while it rests in
British hands, finds work for British
labor. The foreign jeweler opens on
ly n or two rooms in London. All
his work is done abroad. He imports
his manufactured jewelry free Of
duty, sells it at a high profit, and the
money goes back to his native land
without the payment of any income

New York's Odd Thermometer.

New York city unconsciously pro-
vides an odd thermometer for
loungers in Madison Square. This is
the geyser-action fountain, which
sends up a squirt of water every five
seconds or SO. In the summer it's
spray reaches a height of fifteen or
twenty feet, and on the hottest days
the bench warmers who sit about it
can almost imagine themselves COO.
AS the weather gets colder the squirt
becomes more and more subdued. At
ter a frosty night it is sG Ece.y more
than an occasional heaving mound in
the center Of the pool. As the varia-
ton is given three to four inches for
each degree, an old stagCr in the park
with a keen eye can judge the tenn
p%erature from it with remarkable &C
curacy, seldom erring more than two
degrees from the official mark.
