Choir on a Strike.

The Handel festival now in prog
ress recalls an unusual-probably
unique-incident which occurred
few years ago when the whole choir
went on strike owing to the Crystal
Palace company failing to provide
the singers with separate refresh
a,ent rooms and other accommoda-
ton.
An ultimatum was dispatched on
the first day of the festival and on
the singers demands not being acced
ed to the whole of the choir refused
TO utter a note when Sir Michael
Costa took up his baton. This
unrehearsed incident lasted for
some little time when the Crystal
Palace manager sent word to Sir MI
chael to request him to announce to
the singers that the desired accom-
mediation would be provided imme-
diately. The festival then proceeded
in due hermony and there was an emo

strike on record.-Londen Option.

DETECTIVE ADAMS STORY.

There never was job, said Detec-
tive Adams, worked in this country,
which could match the great gold coin
swindle so successfully carried out
upon the expert dealers in money in
Wall street. No class of people are
easier to beat than Wall street men,
provided they are met upon their own
stamping ground by fearless men who
deal with them upon an apparently
solid platform.
AS I recall it, the bogus coin dis
posed of was worth, face value, about
100000, and the thieves were kind
enough to go in and get the premium
upon this sum. The firm which han
died the gold in this city was Wells &
Co., and they were above suspicion.
The coin was sent to them from Frink
& Beaman, an honorable London firm
of bankers, and every connection
from start to finish had all the marks
of a genuine transaction. There was
nothing to arouse suspicion except tae
gold itself, and that was not critically
examined at the tina, because it had
been shipped in a perfectly regular
manner Inquiry would probably not
have been made into the transaction
for a. long time if it had not been for
the disappearance of Nathaniel
Storms, who had completed the tran
saction with Wells & Co., and collect
ed the money for the gctd.
Storms came to this country with
the gold and had letters of introduc-
ton equal to the best certificate of
character. He represented that he
was the agent of syndicate of for
eign capitalists who had been quietly
gathering up all the gold they could
get hold of in Europe at their own fig
ures, and had got together several mil
lions of dollars which theyT,intended
to put upon the American market to
get the benefit of the large premium.
When Storms collected the money
for the gold. he made an appointment
to meet Wells & Co. the next day
upon a matter of Importance, and he
did not show up. He was stopping at
the old Astor House, and letter was
sent there by messenger, who
brought back a reply that Storms had
given up his room there in tho morn
ing. before he went to Wells & Co.'S
Office. His baggage consisted only Of
a handbag, and he took this away
with him. It also was learned that

CITY LIFE HARD ON NERVES
Noise and General Disorder Is Bound
to Affect Them More or Less
Disastrously.

Almost every little or great ailmenl
throughout your system affects your
nerves. Your eyes and liver and
many other things throughout your
system all take it out" on the poor
nerves if they happen to be bit out
of order themselves.
Recent discoveries show that 80 per
cent of nervous troubles are due to
other disorders. Eye-strain is one
cause. Not only those who have to
use their eyes constantly, like stu
dents and lapidaries and miniature
artists and engravers, but city folks
who live and work where their vision
is restricted are all sufferers from
nervous troubles, more or less.
The eye wants to get exercise as
we'll as the muscles. Living In mar
row streets and gazing out across
little alleys against brick walls, rush
ing into narrow cars and hurrying
into small rooms all keep the vision
down to narrow limits, and pretty
soon eye-strain sets in, and this
brings on nervous trouble.
And enc of the peculiarities of this
is that many people will not notice
that they have eye-strain because the
nervous disorder that results will be
SO much worse than the cause. Bye
strain is much less common in the
country.
Working in the stopped position,
curving the spine, brings pressure on
the tiny blood vessels and this in
turn acts on the nerves. 81 get so
nervous sitting STILL" one will say. AS
a matter of fact the continual pres
sure on the spine reacts on the
nerves. AS sedentary occupations are
more common in the cities there Is
more nervousness from this cause in
cities.
Liver troubles bring on quick nerv-
Gus disorders, city noises in time af-
feet the ears and the nerves are again
In for a siege of trouble. Not even
at night or during sleep is there COM
plete quiet In the city. Women be-
come irritable because of excessive
blood pressure, and again it is their
nerves that suffer-also every one
else about them is apt to suffer.-New
York American.

not suit him. The money that was
made from these rejected dies would
have passed anywhere except among
experts, but Billy was in the game to
beat experts. In my opinion he had
not his equal in the world as an en-
graver and tool maker.
But the fishing was good, and we
could afford to live on the fat of the
land; so the whims of Billy did not
bother us much.
If Billy was a crank in his way, he
was an angel compared with Frenchy
Kline, who was the most mysterious
man ever met, and / have seen a lot
of curious specimens. Frenchy was a
dangerous fellow to go with, for his
manners were so strange that he was
sure to attract attention and arouse
suspicion. I have known him to go
for weeks and never speak a word.
He was an expert chemist, and could
have made a fortune in the business
by going on the level, but he preferred
to be crook. There were two things
he could do better than any man in
the world. He could make genuine
paper, for use as money, and COM
position Of metals which resembled
silver and gold so closely that it would
require an analysis in the assay Office
to prove they were spurious. While
Billy was making dies, Kline was mix
ing up pots of metal and turning out
bars Of yellow gold.
Billy finally finished his dies, and
then had the parts of stamping ma
chine built in different foupdries and
machine shops. We brought the Sec
tons to Ravenswood on our truck,
and they were put together in barn
on the place. We got an engine and
boiler to run the stamping machine,
and were ready for business. But
very few people ever passed the old
house, and we were just as safe in our
work as If we were in wilderness.
1t requires a heavy pressure to
stamp a coin, and our machinery was
not quite as weighty as the machine
in the mint, but our $40 and $40 coins
were just as good as any that ever
left. the mint, with the exception that
the impression made on the front and
back of the coins was not quite as
heavy as the genuine. After the
stamping the money was put into
milling machine, to corrugate the
edges, and an oiled roller, to give the
coin the appearance Of age.
The coin, as fast as it was made,
was put into kegs, and when we got
enough the kegs were shipped to Eng
land, and after satisfactory arrange
ments had been made upon the other
side, were reshipped to this country
through a regular broker. Gold was
at that time selling at a premium of
from 100 to $40, and the kegs of gold
were consigned to Wells & Co., reput-
able brokers in this city, to the credit
of Nathaniel Storms, the representa-
tive of a foreign syndicate. There
were any number of bidders for the
gold when it was offered for sale, and
we got rid of the whole lot for about
$420,000. It was one Of the prettiest
deals ever run off in this country.

more than by their words, that they
had taken account of the pretty girl
from Pittsburg and had not found her
wanting in anything to make her the
reigning belle.
Next day Miss Moreland's first ap-
pearance was down on narrow, tortu
Gus Thames street, where most of the
shops are. She was in smart red
runabout with her sister. Again the

Miss Esther appeared at the Casino
the very next morning with her young

it wasn't long before the question was

Those who had been there the sea-

Miss Madeline Force, to the Casino

around Miss Moreland as she chatted
merrily with her new acquaintances
to the one which was SO anxious to see
what sort of girl Colonel Aston had
chosen for his wife.

roted that her complexion was deli

and black; that her features were clas
sically regular, and that her mouth,
both as she laughed or in her seri
GUS moods, was delicately nodded.
