Life Hung on Toss of Coin.

A grim tale of a man stalking his life
on the toss of a coin comes from
Greenwater, Cal. David Eldridge, in
company with a desert rat" known
as the Kid, went 40 miles cross
Death Valley a month ago to investi-
gate a proposed sewer site at the
peak. On the return trip one of the
burros gave out. The possession of
the remaining beast was the issue on
which the two men staked their lives,
when they realized that both could
not escape. The Kid, who has not
slept under a roof for 80 years,
reached Greenwater the other day in
a delirious condition, and told of the
two men having tossed a coin to see
which should take the burro and one
of the five quarts of water. The Kid
won the burro and escaped. Searching.
parties were sent out Immediately
from Greenwater, but the frowning
wall of the Panamints guarding the
valley on the west still holds the Sc
cret of the fate of the missing men.

SURRENDERED ONLY TO AGE
New York Cashier Who Had Fourteen
Days Off in Fifty-Two Years of
Service.

: For So years Louis Nicolovian had
been cashier and Office manager for
Schefer, Schramm & Vogel, bankers
and commission merchants at 476
Broome street, and in that time he
had lost Ia days, the New York Times
says. These came so far apart that
most of the men in the Office do not
now remember that he vas ever away.
One recent Tuesday the tall,
straight, black-haired old man did not
appear at his desk. The employees re-
membered that he had often said that
he hated to see Sunday come in to
spoil his work; that when on Mon
day morning he got back to his 1g-
ures he had always seemed as happy
as a boy out of school.
1t was almost preposterous to think
of him, though he was 81 years old.
as sick; it was even more preposter-
u to think that he had allowed any
ordinary thing to keep him away from
his ledger. Yet no word came from
him.
The large force of men over whom
he had charge talked in whispers
about the extraordinary thing that
must have kept Louis N%icolovian away
from his work. His chair seemed
strangely vacant. There was about
his closed desk and the corner where
he always sat a depressing lonesome
ness. 1t seemed as desolate as an old
country house when it's occupants.
have departed and its windows are,
nailed up.
After three days absence, the old
man entered the office. The en-
ployes expected him to take his chair
and go on with his figures. He didn't.
He walked into the private Office Of
Carl Schefer, senior member of the
firm, and remained there a long time.
When he came out he walked to his
old desk, weeping, babe it a silent.
farewell. Then he went out.
In the last few days his 81 years
had at last forced him to recognize,
their claim. He had voluntarily re-
tired. For the rest of his life he is.
to get a pension of half his salary.

Uncomfortable. But Fashionable.

A freak of fashion, which, however,
must be regarded as a phase which
will Dol pass, is to have the sleeves
almost double the length required,
and then, when the Goa is on, to push
them up the arm, whereby a rucked
effect is achieved. The discomfort of
this is apparent to the merest tyro

 BY BURGLARS Cuta SWath a Mhe Wide From
 Congress to Phoenix STOLE THINGS, REGARDLESS
Two Men Caught With the Goods" On Them, One Wearing a Victims We'd ding Suit, Hooked His Wedding Ring.

Jams w. Wilson and Charles John son were transferred yesterday from the city hall to the county Jail and will be given an examination next Tuesday on the charge of having bur glarized the house of MT. and Mrs. Swan Nielsen at MorristOwn. From the evidence obtained on their persons and in their immediate disclosures, there can be little doubt of their guilt and there are reasons to believe they may also be guilty of burglaries in Beardsley, Wickenburg and Congress Junction. Johnson has already con fessed to participation in the Morris town affair and says Wilson was with him. Wilson says that he knows noth- ing of the incident and was never in that section of the country. Stolen property was recovered, however, that had been disposed of by both men.
 There was a burglary at Congress Junction on the 9th, when a suit of clothes and an Overcoat were taken. The victims were in Phoenix Friday and recognized Wilson and Johnson as

Foul Breath
Made Pure and Sweet by the Use of
 Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges.
Trial Package Sent Free.

l Do not go among your friends with breath so Odious as to make your | presence distasteful Foul breath is capable of easy removal if you will take a little time to overcome it. Generally foul breath comes from one of two causes. impure gases or foul digestive fluids.
 Charcoal is the strongest absorbent of foul gases known. It positively at tracts poisons and neutralizes their evil effects.
 A noted French physician swallow ed strychnine enough to kill three men and with a teaspoonful of char coal removed the bad effects of this terribly swift poison.
 A little charcoal in a bed room or cellar will make foul air pure Pure willow charcoal mixed with honey are the component parts of Stuart's Char coal Lozenges and pure breath is the result of their use after meals Sim ply dissolve two or three after meals and at bedtime and foul breath flees at once. No matter how you cause these gases, whether by bad food, all cohol or abuse of the stomach, Stu arts Charcoal Lozenges will stop gas making and sweeten the breath.
 They are perfectly harmless and the eating of a box would cause you no inconvenience whatever.
 Charcoal is hard to prepare for the stomach because it must be strong and pure and most people will not take it unless made palatable. Stu arts inimitable process presents char coal to the taste and system in all the nicety desired.
 Choice virgin willow is burnt into desirable charcoal; this is mixed with pure honey and the combination is compressed under tremendous power into a lOzenge of great pleasantness and efficiency.
 Don't let your bad breath make people cross the street to avoid you; go to the nearest drug store ard buy a box of Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges today and eat what you will. Two or three after the meal will sweeten your breath at once. If you want proof of this fact send us your name and address and we will send you q trial package by mali free. Address F. A.

A FURTHER REDUCTION
 IN PRICES 0F STEEL
It Is UnofficiaIIy Stated That Wages Will Not Be Affected.

Pttsburg, Pa, Feb. 20.-In regard to the situation in the steel trade, the long distance phones between this city, New York and Youngstown, were kept busy today by the independent manu- facturers. It is said that by the first of the week more cuts will be an nounced in the prices of iron and steel.
 Concerning the report that the wages of steel wOrkmen will probably be re- duced on account of the "open mar ket' arrangement, it is said unoffi- cially in steel and iron circles here that the wages will not be affected.
 It is believed, however, that if the tariff reductions are large, a cut in wages will follow immediately.

PARIS, Sept. 1~0.-Although the Paris
bourse for several days has been hanging
anxiously on news of the condition of
the late E. H. Hartman, the
ment of the financier's death did not
create a shock. Prices opened steady, in
some cases showing improvement over

cier's Mr.. Harriman's immense power and
capacity was widely recognized. but the
general feeling is today that the United
States are so rich in resources and the
productive capacity lis so great that the
death OF one man, no matter how far
reaching his interests, will not stop the
onward march Of the country's pros

The view taken by Americans interested
