After having met and conferred
with many citizens of Goldfield. New,
Friday. Gen. Funston stated Friday
night that he is finding conditions
there worse than he anticipated.
The possibility Of further trouble

ton previous to my coming there had
led me to believe. / have just tele-
graphed second report to Washing
ton. which is based on the informa-
ton have gathered. / do not believe
the government will declare martial
law at once as no serious disturbance
has occurred. / shall not advise such
action until 1t is absolutely necessary.
As to the matter Of patrolling the vi
cinity of the mines and the streets of
the city with the regulars. that is
procedure that may become necessary
at any hour"
The statement of Gen. Funston set
ties the question Of the withdrawal
Of the troops. Neither Gen. Funston
nor Gov. Sparks will yield to the
pressure that has been brought to in
duce them to favor the withdrawal Of
The troops before the arrival of the
labor commissioner from Washington.
Saturday a delegation of women
composed OF the Women's club, of
Goldfield, called on Gen. Funston and
laid before him their side of the ques-
ton. which was that previous to tho
coming of the troops they had lived
N constant terror, believing that their
homes might be destroyed and their
lives endangered by violence or depre-
dation. They asked that the troops be
kept there until all danger of troubIs

Frederic Viiliers tells this story of
the German emperor: The occasion
was the marriage of the crown prince
of Roumania to Princess Marie, the
handsome eldest daughter of the late
duke of SAKE Coburg. After the func-
ton the German emperor was the
first to give the bridal kiss. He was
in full English naval uniform, smoth-
cred with decorations, and the bride
was dressed IN a costume which could
not bear much crushing. The kaiser,
one could see. was trying to avoid this
trouble and the birdie was afraid, in
turn, TO disarrange his mass of decora-
tions. In a moment the emperor was
seized with one of his brilliant ideas.
He took the pretty blushing bride by
the right elbow, tilted her a little to-
ward him. launched himself forward
and. bending over her, imprinted the
kiss.

claim as the owner. you could sell any

find half dozen money kings in Eng

There is nothing very striking about
this stone; it might be piece of black
marble with some peculiar hieroglyph-
les upon It. But, it is Just these hero
glyphics which make it so valuable,
because they are the key to all the an

man took a fancy to it for a garden
ornament. He paid SIS for it-five

not represent its value but till the
day of his death he did not know
what that bit Of stone was worth.
