billion dollars worth of gold is esti-
mated to have been dug from the
earth. Not much more than one-half
of this is definitely known to be in
existence in the monetary stocks Of
the globe. OF this, however, the
United States is believed to hold from
a billion and a quarter to billion and
a half.

Over at 253 Graham avenue, Brooklyn,
aged father and mother two sisters and brother
are bewailing the death of Jakey Kaplan as he
familiarly known to pretty nearly all in the
Brownsville section. About five years ago he left
the province of Courland in Russia, taking passage
to America with no other asset than little red
bundle and an abundance of energy and ambition.
He did not know word of English when he
landed at Ellis island. The Hebrew Aid society
released him and gave him small sum of money.
With that he bought basket and a small stock
of shoestrings, collar buttons and other notions
and thus equipped he started successful business
career. Within year he had saved enough to,
bring his old father and mother, two sisters and
brother to this country. When they came he

REAL FARM IN HEART OF CITY.

Between Ninety-fourth and Ninety-ffth
streets, on West End avenue, is one of the most
valuable farms in the world To be sure it con-
tains only one acre. but that acre is worth more
than $1,000,o00. 1t is owned by Eugene Higgins,
the carpet manufacturer, who has resisted all
offers for it's purchase.
This wee farm is leased for nominal sum to
Henry West, steady, hard-working man, who
lives in little rustic cottage perched on the side
of miniature hill. Behind it rises tall apart
ment house, which late in the afternoon throws
it's shadow over the farm. Mr.. West, who has

1t is said that the postal department is be-
ginning to hear from business men in different
parts OF the country regarding their dislike of
the recent order to discontinue the back-stamp-
ing of mail in the post Offices at Los Angeles,
Kansas City, Minneapolis St. Paul, Detroit and
other cities. That dsfavor is also shared by the
business men OF Washington, who are not slow
in their intimations that the back stamn enables
man who gets delayed letter to register his
kick with the person at fault and largely fixes
upon the party responsible for the delay.
The back-stamping consists of stamping on
the back of each letter the name of the city or
town in which it is received, together with the,
time of its receipt. This with the stamp on the

Political movements in the past
20 or 80 years by, reformers have been
for the purpose Las the leaders would
proclaim of leading the people out of
some dismal financial slough OF. dis

Sometimes during hard years. the. party

ously near to it that the reform
leaders panacea FOR the troubled
times might be given a trial. But at
this time there is general prosperity
and the. people would not listen to a
refOrmer who woHld attempt to tell
them to overthrow a national or state
administration and follow him to the
heights of greater mountain of
prosperity. So the reform leaders. of
today Eare trying to AROUSE the people
on other issues than "a change sof
political parties. Republicans cry out
that other republicans are bosses or
are being led about by the corpora
tions to the harm, of the people and
that TO make change of men would
benefit the masses. Besides the abol-
ition OF the pass system and regulation
OF railway rates, the state wide pri-
mary is,offered the people If they will

charge of dishonesty or incompetence
is made against Governor Elrod, Mr..

WILL HOLD A FAIR.
Walla Walla Plans Novel Features
for Fall Meeting

The managers of the fair to be held
in Walla Walla in October, are en-
deavoring to arrange for one of the
most novel and spectacular exhibi-
tions ever produced in this section
and one which will be of particular
interest to the people of Walla Walla,
says the Walla Walla Union.
The exhibition referred to will con-
sist of a fake murder in front of the
grandstand or some similar place,
after which the supposed criminal
will attempt to escape. Harry Dra-
per will arrive on the scene with his
famous hounds and the culprit will be
tracked and run down. These dogs
are trained not only to trail a man
but to hold him when he is found
and the performance will be made as
interesting and realistic as an actual
man hunt. Mr.. Draper is training his
dogs for this kind of an exhibition and
promises to give the crowd the worth
of their money.
Another drawing card which the
management is trying to secure is
Grizzlies famous Italian boys band.
Much interest has been aroused all
over the country in this organization
from the fact that all the players are
of such tender years, especially the
director Angelo Vitale. who has seen
but seven summers.
The boys look like Lillputians. so
small are they in stature, but their
sizes far from measure their musical
ability, as they render most excellent
programs consisting of classical and
popular selections and every one of
them Is master of his particular
situation.
The entries for the races for stakes.
purses and handicaps close today. A
large number of entries have been
made and Walla Walla will have one

TOWNS WHICH HAVE NO WOMEN IN THEM

Women outnumber men in England,
and it is a common complaint in many
British towns that "there are no men,"
In watering places like Bournemouth
and Torquay the number of lady res
idents SO greatly exceeds thar of men
that there is very real ground for this
complaint.
Yet within 80 miles Of Torquay
stands town. complete with railway
station, post, telegraph, and shops,
which, though not exclusively inhab-
tied by men, has yet fully 10 times
as many male as female residents
This is Princetown, 400 feet above
the sea on the ridge of Dartmoor.
While the town proper has but three
or four hundred inhabitants. of whom
rather less than half are women, there
are nearly 1000 convicts, all men, to
say nothing of large number of war
deps, comparatively small proper
ton of whom are married.
With the exception of one or two
temporary villages, built of tin or
canvas, in which are housed navvies
engaged on new waterworks and rail-
ways, there are no towns or villages
in these islands in which women 10
not find a home. Elsewhere, however,
there are several such curious settle
ments.
One is 10 be found In Utah surely
the last part of the world where one
a. m f.Ne az
men. Its name is Sunnyside, and 1t is
inhabited by some 400 men who work
in the new collieries recently estab.
lished there.
Nost of the men are married, vet on
no account are they permitted to bring
their wives into the village. This
hanishment of the fair sex is not due
to any freakishness on the part of en-
ployers of men. The reason Is a pure
" business one.
There is some hitch in the compa-
ny's title to the 5000 acres on which
the village and mines are situated.
The law of the state of Utah permits
families squatting rights on the
claimed lands and the company fear
that if the men were allowed to bring
their better halves to Sunnyside,
claims might be established to their.
cabins as permanent places of abode.
on the borders between China and
Russia in Asia, almost due south or
Lake Baikal. is a good sized town
known as Maimetehin. which is ex.
clusively inhabited by men. The place
has considerable trade, and is also
military outpost. An old law for
bids Chinese women to live in this
territory. Indeed, they may not pass
the great wall of Kalkan or enter
Mongolia at all.
Another far western settlement
which is composed exclusively of men
is Excelsior City, situated in a wild
