INSANE FIDDLER
 MURDERED LITTLE GIRL
Special to the Daily Gold Digger.

Special to the Daily Gold Digger.
 Tacoma, Feb. 5.-Louis s. Wet CT, the itinerant clock mender, whose finger prints correspond ex- actly with those of the prints of the bloody fingers found on the dress of Elsie Mulhoff, the eight year old girl, who was ravished and murdered at Renton last May, has been declar- ed insane. Detectives who have been working on the case have dis covered evidence to the effect that he was in Renton on the day the murder was committed. He was un- der a sentence of four months im- prisonment for forcibly kissing little girls whom he met on the streets. Every effort was made to force from him a confession of the murder, but he steadily refused to admit that he had been connected with it in any way. The detectives who have been working on the case believe that he

PROSPECTORS GUIDED
 BY FOSSIL REMAINS

In Alaska the bones, and often the cent tire bodies, of extinct animals, such as the mammoth, the mastodon, the reindeer and the bison, are found principally in the layers of soil directly above the gold-bearing gravels So intimate is this associa- ton between fossil animal remains and the auriferous deposits that Obalski, who lately explored Alaska, says that the fossils serve the pros pectors as indexes of the metallic richness of the soil. In ancient times both the gold and the bones and bodies of the animals were de- posted at the bottom of valleys by .he action of rivers and smaller streams, many of which have now disappeared. Consequently the ap- Dearance of fossils is an almost cer- tain indication that gold will be
 ound in the neighborhood. The cabins of many miners are orna- nented with huge tusks and antlers unearthed in the diggings.
 The above clipping was taken from the Chicago Mining World and sent to the Gold Digger by Con- gressman Waskey. MT. Waskey wrote on the margin of the clipping Wouldn't this scald your" It Is one of the most ridiculous received so far this winter

BARONESS DOES
 MURDER

New York, Feb 5.-Baroness Am isia Louise de Massy, strikingly pretty Frenchwoman of 32, who has been living at 57 West Thirty seventh street, is 8 prisoner at po- lice headquarters charged with mur- der. She is accused of having shot down Gustav simon, aged 5S, of 114 East Fifty-sixth street, wealthy own CT of the Queen Waist Company at GOA Broadway.
 The shooting occurred this after noon at Simons' office. He died to- night at 9:30 o'clock at St. Vincent's hospital.
 Behind the shooting the police say is a remarkable story of a woman seeking revenge for the mysterious death of her husband, 0 French nobleman. The baroness maintain ed the most stolid secrecy as to any motive In fact, she calmly denies the shooting, despite the fact of an alleged eye witness an1 that of Simon, with his dying breath accus- ed her of the crime.
 On Saturday night she called upon Mme. Juliette, fashionable millin- CT at 66 West Thirty-ninth street She was greatly excited.
 T have left my position" she said, And 1 didn't even wait for my pay. I am greatly vexed over the treatment I received"
 Mme. Juliette asked her what she intended doing and the baroness re- piled:
 Well, I am not sure just now Walt and see. I don't think 1t will end where 1t is."
 The baroness appeared at Simon's office this afternoon and demanded her pay. According to witnesses she wanted it instantly, and, when si- mon delayed, pulled a revolver and began shooting. The second shot gave Simon a mortal wound

FARMING ON THE YUKON.

w. M Swinehart has compiled for publication the results of his experi- ence in farming at Fort Selkirk, and these show that, taking one season with another, the crops raised and the prices received for the product are sufficient to cause the average farmer in the states to look to the north with envy Oat hay, the chief crop produced, yields about three tons to the acre, and sells readily in the spring at from S1O0 to $126 per ton. Demand has never been lacking for all the hay the farm produces, since the Dawson-White- horse stage line, on which from 250 to 400 horses are used every winter for several months, passes within a few miles of the farm. Potatoef
 yield from three to five tons to the acre, and bring as much as % cents a pound. The average price for a series of years has been a fraction over 20 cents a pound. Rutabagas yield six tons to the acre, and sell for 6 cents a pound, or $720 an acre. Carrots yield three tons to the acre, and sell for 15 cents pound, re- turn of $900 per acre. Cabbages vary in production, according to season, ranging from three to eight tons to the acre, and the price ranges from 15 to 20 cents per pound. It is an exceptional season when the Swinehart farm does not net It's owners an income of $1O,O0O.

St. Louis, Mo, Feb. 5.-Congress- man Richard Bartholdt lett this morning for New York at the invita- tion of Andrew Carnegie, who has promised to turn over to him S1n- 00O,000 to be used in furthering the propaganda for international peace.

 New York, Feb. 5.-Dr. Wiley the celebrated alienist, who was brought here from Pittsburg, to give evidence in the Thaw case, testified that there was no doubt in his mind that Thaw was insane at the time he shot and killed Stanford White He received a severe gri.ling from District Attorney Jerome, who asked questions beyond the knowledge of specialists. He also ridiculed the testimony of the witness in every possible manner. Other insanity ex- perts testify that the prisoner was unable to resist the promptings of his mind, which was deranged at the time he did the killing.

WORTH MORE THAN GOLD.

A well known photographer who recently paid into his bank a soy, ereign which appeared to be much worn was astonished a short time afterward to find that It's value had been credited to him at 21 shillings. It appears that on reaching the mint the coin was discovered to be a clever counterfeit made of platinum heavily gilt. At the time at which 1t is supposed to nave been made Il was worth about seven and sixpence but at the present price of plati- nun a sovereign's weight of that ponderous metal Is worth much more than a sovereign's weight in gold

WHERE INCOME DOES
NOT COUNT.

! The community in which the pro-
fessor lived did not judge him ac-
cording to his salary, nor, indeed,
did they take the trouble to inquire
what it was; but ignorantly, though
reasonably, classed him among the
rich with whom he kept company.
From the tailor and grocer down to
the plumber and ashman, all based
the valuation of their services to him
on the assumption that he was rich;
the milliner and dressmaker served
his wife on the same assumption; the
church looked to him for generous
donations of time and money; he
was solicited for contribution to ev-
cry project which arose; the Improve
mept Association levied upon him for
funds to keep up public drives over
which he had never driven; the law
yer charged him the same fees he did
the merchant or banker whose income
was five times his; the surgeon eX-
pected as much from him for the re-
moval of his appendix as he did from
the rich lawyer or broker or his rich
neighbor of Independent fortune his
sons associated with the sons of cor
poration ma gnates; his wifes inti-
mate friends in the Woman's Club
were among the richest women in
town, and she and her daughters
looked to him to dress them like the
daughters and wife of the banker,
His whole salary went in the attempt
to meet all these demands; his whole
life was a more or less unsuccessful
effort to appear worthy of the circle
in which his family seemed intended
by nature to move. This was why
his library was full of gaps as his
purse was of cobwebs; this was why
his clothes Were 50 dangerously near
being thread bare; this was why. he
had grown wrinkled and gray in the
effort to piece out his salary by strug-
Cling with magazine articles during
the midnight Hours of term time and
through vacation days, which should
have been given up to attempt to re-
gain something of the elasticity of /
mind lost during the year; this was
why his digestion was impaired, and .
why some of the light of teaching had +
left him, and something of the sun
shine of his presence had begun to be
missed by his students. Clearly, it
was an impossibility. Clearly either
the company of his choice had set up
wrong ideal or he had chosen the
wrong company.-From "a 'Pfefes
sorial Meditation by Grant shower
man, in the October Scribner's,

CARNEGIE INSTITUTION PLANS.

(From Hugo de Vries' Luther
Burbank's Ideas on Scientific Horti-
culture, in the March Century,
The Carnegie Institution, which
has granted Burbank an annuity for
the prosecution of his work, purposes
to have made extensive records of his
methods and his experiments, in or
der to serve as a basis for scientific
in this field. This task
has been given over to DR.. G. H.
Shull, who resided at Santa Rosa at
the time of my visit, and participated
in some of the interviews. The work
will include the history of all of his
most interesting hybrid races, as far
as the memory of their author and
the short annotations on the obtained
results will allow it's reconstruction.
1t will no doubt some day become a
highly valuable source of information
for all persons who are interested in
plant breeding 1t will show, in a
general way, how to improve fruits
and flowers. 1t will contain an inn
portant series OF facts illustrating
almost all the different points of our
in this department, and 1t
will be even richer in indications of
the lines along which successful
study of the more complicated cases
of hybridization may be started.
