SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-The week ended
with a dull and heavy market for mining
shares. The selling pressure was light. but
the list seemed to sink of its own weight.
Consolidated dropped 1919 points, Florence 2la,
and Atlanta l. Fraction and Daisy held steady
at yesterdays quotations.
There was very little change in the Tono-
pah list, although Belmont moved up points
on the bid Montana strong with S5c
bid, but the stock failed to out at this
figure. 1t is reported that the treated at
the Montana mill during the past week
amounted to 9O2 tons, from which an average
extraction of 80 per cent is recovered. Every
thing in the mine and mill is gonig along
smoothly

hustled up to bunch of his friends the
other day with the remark: Remark

HAS A PERSISTENT HooDoo.
MIR. Oliver J. Goslnston Gives Faint
Outline of the Troubles That
Pursue Him.

II don't know why it is said Mr..
Goslinston, but when l travel al.
ways seem to get the worst of it in
some way if there's anything going
that isn't pleasant it comes to me.
Yesterday | made a little trip to a
place about fifty miles from the city.
| went to the station early to get a
seat by window. | managed that all
right; got a window seat and just
where | wanted, not at the end of the
car, but about two-thirds back from
the front, where | would ride easy and
at the same time have something to
look at ahead, and of course that all
pleased me very much.
At the first station out there got
ABOARD the car at the forward end
seven men, a very assorted lot OF men,
some tall, some short, some thick,
some thin, and among them one man
OF phenomenal proportions, a giant of
man, with legs sticking out beneath
and a head projecting up on top, and
then | watched with fearful interest
the procession as it started down the
car, for / was seized with a mortal
terror that the big man would wan1
to sit with me. Really he ought not
to, for | sat two-thirds of the way
down the car and there We're plenty of
vacant seats ahead; but you never can
tell about thing till it's settled.
Il watched that procession coming
with great and fearful interest. the
Dig man bringing up the rear, and
then with increasing hopefulness
saw it dwindle as one member after
another of it dropped out to take the
hrst seat he came to, until all were
seated except the giant, who was left
alone still four rows in front of me
and with three vacant seats in those
TOUR rows to choose from, and then
my hope ran high, but he kept aeon.

Retains Health by Fastino.

To prove thar complete abstinence
from food for indefinite periods is not
only conducive to good health but also
to perennial youth, Miss Claire de
Seryal, niece of the famous Fasting"
Or. Tanner, is submitting herself to a
remarkable series of experiments at
the Royal Charlie hospital in Berlin.
Miss Serval ended at noon the other
day in perfect health fast of ten
days, without norrishment of any
kind, either liquid or solid. During
that time she lived in a glass cage
into which fresh air was pumped by
motor. She was then removed from
the cage and placed in the ordinary
ward, but she intends to abstain from
food for another 20 days, living in the
meantime on mineral water. Her
weight has decreased from ia pounds
to l01 pounds, but her condition other
wise is perfectly normal. She stated
at the end of the tenth day, that she
never once felt i'll from lack of food
and drink, and was entirely free from
fever or headache. The young lady
says that she was induced to become
faster" in order to cure herself OF
chronic headaches and lack of appe
tite, and also because she finds she
energies rejuvenated after a period OF
self-imposed starvation

The LONGEST Word.

What is believed to be the longest
word to be found in any dictionary
one that leaves even German and
Dutch hopelessly out of it-may be
turned up in Liddell and Scott's lexi-
con by those who can read Greek
characters. Those who cannot may
be content to know that this word
which begins "lepadotemachosel
CALICO" proceeds in like manner
through rs syllables, and counts ITO
letters in all. Of course, no ancient
Greek ever used such word as this
in ordinary conversation 1t is a com.
ic word invented by Aristophanes for
rhythmical delivery in one of his
plays and means a dish compounded
of all sorts of fish, flesh, fowl and
sauces, which are enumerated in the
word. The most ingenious English
translation of it yet suggested is
hash"

Couldn't Place Horace.

They say that Horace wrote his
poems in praise of wine," the school
teacher said to the Billville citizen.
Who? Horace Greedy? Never
knowed he writ poetry"
mo, no-the other Horace, who
comes from antiquity"
Never hearn tell of him, n'er the
place he come from; but it's my opin-
ion, whoever he wuz, that he had
mighty little to do to be wastin' words
on wine, when the country has more
corn Ticker tina n it kin consume

1T, the less said bout corn, new or

not likely, however, that the building
will be heightened, as it is said hat
leases for adjacent property have been
obtained. These leases extend for a
period of fifteen years, it is believed.

IN
PLOT TO DEFRAUD
THE GOVERNMENT
Big Smuggling Conspiracy Is Un-
earthed by New York
Official.
SIX MODISTES TO THE
RICH ARE MISSING
$4,000 Worth In Gowns and
Lingerie Have Already
Been Seized.

NEW YORK, April s.-The govern
ment officials investigation into an al
legged huge smuggling plot has been
prosecuted with such vlgor that six
dressmakers In New York city, having
a large and fashionable clientele, are
said to be missing today, while several
others are under espionage, and the
Easter trade In more than one modiste's
establishment Is sadly demoralized.
To save the so per cent. duty on
model gowns from Paris a well or
ganized coterie of dressmakers is said
to have worked in conjunction with ex-
pert swindlers, which would make them
equally guilty with the smugglers.
1t is said hat the absent modistes,
when convinced that the probe Of the
customs officers was going to be thor
ough, hastily fled, either to escape ar
rest or to avoid giving Information.
The result is that many customers who
ordered Easter gowns made from Paris
models will not get them, and others
who expected lingerie, c%orsets, embroid-
cries and laces. have been disappointed
because the goods, bought in Paris n
to have been brought In without the
knowledge of the customs men, have
failed in delivery.
The government officers believe that
they will seize much additional finery
now on the way. 1t is probable that
members of the smugglers' syndicate
have warned confederates on the other
side by cable to send nothing else, but
not In time to stop goods started on
steamers before the exposure was
threatened, and the $751; 900 worth of
Partisan gowns, lingerie and other
things seized by customs officers and
now in the seizure room of the public
stores were found.
The government men are said to have
information of several trunks filed
with rich goods now on the way to New
York, and to be ready to seize them.
The raids thus far made are a small
part of those contemplated. The au-
thorities believe, from marks found On
all the trunks thus far seized, that
most, If not all, the smuggling has been
done by one syndicate. and that it is
perfectly organized and must have de-
frauded the government out of hun
dreds of thousands of dollars.
