GOLD IN A DRY RIVER Rich Finds in the Pince Where a Stream Ran in Prehistoric Times. Frem the Spokane Spokeaman-Review, But there is another gource of Coeur d’Alene placer gold even more potent than the decomposing ledges with which the country is bound together, and that is the old wash. Beginning near Raven, and running down on the sidebili north of Mur- ray and Eagle City, clear across the North Fork, and still on westward for an un- known distance, is the old wash. What the stream that created Ht, whence its source or whither it flowed. no man knows. Per- haps primeval man fiosted his boat upon Its waters, and with his stone weapons en- deavored to slay the mastodon resting be- neath the shade of the tropic verdure that lined its banks. 3 Everything regardis.g the era or nature of the stream flowing there ir mere conjec- ture, but some things regarding it are well known. One is that it wes a siream of no mean proportions. For a quarter of a mile in width the bedrock i# covered with the rounded gravel washed smooth by Its waters during the ages that it existed, and even after the countless years since its springs dried up at their source or some convulsion of nature tumed it into other channels, have been washing the easily rolled stones down the movntain sides, which are still 125 feet in depth—perhaps more in places. Another thing certain about the old river is that fts source was far away beyond the Coeur d'Alene mountains or the Bitter Roots, that hedge them on the east, for in great quentilies among the gravel now choking its old bed are huge boulders of a rogk that 4s entirely foreign to this region. Resembling a mixture of sandstone and quartz, if such a mixture can be imagined, it Is a rock that is un- mistakable, and nowhere within more than 10% miles around is found in any place except the channels of present or prehistoric streams. : Another thing known regarding the old river, more potent than all else, except, perhaps, to the student, is the fact that it traversed a couniry interspersed ‘with gold-bearing ledges, rts of which are picked up and brongti down with its gravel. Everywhere that ‘the cld channel has been cut it has been found rich in gold. Many of the emailer guiches about Murray were rich up to the point where they had been cut through the cld channel, and above it their gravel was barren of the yellow metal. ‘The most economical way to handle this old wash was by hydraulic mining, but water was too scarce for more than the few to do this, and many others have taken the slower way of drifung. With gravel spreading from fifty to five hundred yards in width. and varying from five to one hundred and fifty feet in depth, probably one-half of the gold would lie in a strip a rod wide and within five feet of bedrock. So, while the hydraulic miners would pro- ceed to move the whole mass, wash it down the hill and sift out every particle of gold, the drift miner he taken his more laborious method and nwe the less surely secured for himself @ competence it he possessed the faculty of seving whet came into his hands. Power of Sunshine. From the New York Worl.

Mouchot believed that this heat might be utilized and mede to do the work now Gone by steam and eieciricity. He found that by condensing the heat playing on less than a yard and a half of ground he could boll two pints of water. By arrest- ing sunshine and condensing it, small steam engines have been cperaied success- fully in Paris, but nothing has yet been done to realize practically the great hopes of revolujionizing civibzation by using Gjrectly the enormous power which comes to us daily from the sun.

WILL REACH HOME TONIHGT Mortons Still Feel Sore Over the Decision at San Antonio. Remor of Unfair Dealing Generally Oredited by Others Interested— Statement by Lieut. Jenkins. Special From a Staff Correspondent. CHARLOTTE, N. C., July 28.—The trip of the Morton Cadets from New Orleans to Charlotte was uneventful, with the excep- tion of a pig chase at every station. AN the boys are in good health and impatient to reach home. ‘The award of the judges at San Antonio, the chief topic of conversation, remains as incomprehensible as when first. an- nounced. Under the circumstances, the boys are con.pelled to place some credence in the reports emanating from Galveston that the conduct of the San Antonio drill was not as it should have been. The rumor fs to the effect that an officer of high rank of the Texas Volunteer Guard, in some manner, prior to the drill of the Governor's Guard, secured the alleged proper interpretation of the program and communicated it to Capt. Roberdeau. The official referred to is said to have stated on several occasions that Capt. Roberdeau would be the only captain to properly read the program. Interview With Capt. Boyd. Speaking of the award, Capt. Boyd of the Sealy Rifles, in a published interview, said: “You could have knocked me over with a feather when I heard the Govern- ors had taken first prize. There were four really fine companies in the championship drill. They were the Mortons, Thurstons, Sealys and the St. Pauls. But the Govern- or's Guard—why, they were simply not in “It was a toss up between the Mortons and the Sealys. The captain of the Mor- tons told me that if we got first prize he would take off his hat to ws, and acknowl- edge that we deserved it. “I assured him that I felt that way about ‘nis team, but along comes this decision— that the Governor’s Guard had beaten both of us. There is not an army officer at San Antonio who does not declare that there is no Hcense for interpreting the program in the manner the Governor's Guard did. Lieut. Jenkins’ Statement. Lieut. Jenkins of the United States army, who framed the program, said he intended it to be read as it was by all the captains, except Capt. Roberdeau. I confess I can- not overcome that sort of a deal. But the decision has been given and it has to stand. I tell you, however, I would rather have been shut out entirely than to be beaten in such a manner as this.” It is probable that a drill will be held next year at Galveston. Our train is running on schedule time and will be due at the 6th street depot, Washington, at 9:25 o'clock this evening: A CORDIAL WELCOME, Morton Cadets to Be Received With Honors This Evening. Unless they miss connections, the Mor- ton Cadets will reach Washington from San Antonio, Tex., at 9:25 this evening, and when their train rolls into the 6th street station they will be accorded “a welcome hardly less demonstrative than that they would have received had they finished in first instead of second place in the inter- state drill. Nearly every command in the District National Guard will meet the ex- champions at the station and escort them to their armory. ‘The National Fencibles, Captain Domer commanding, will act as a special escort to the Mortons and their stay-at-home members, and the reception committee haye arranged for an elaborate banquet for the boys and their friends at Freund's, at which Colonel Cecil Clay or Colonel E. B. Hay will preside as toast- master and welcome the Mortons home. The line of march will be along Pennsy!- vania avenue to lith street, to New York avenue and thence to the armcry at Sth and L streets. Firewcrks will blazon the way along the line of march. When Cap- tain Shilling steps from the train he will be presented with a large bunch of roses. Although General Ordway, commanding the District National Guard, did not_for- mally order out the guard for escort duty, he was more than willing that every com- mand should participate in the parade, and about every commander assured the re- ception committee that the invitation to parade wculd be accepted. Meetings of the various companies were, therefore, held last evening to make the necessary ar- rangements, and it is probable that Colo- nel Alexander of the 1st Regiment will com- mand the procession. Should he be unable to do so, Licutenant Colonel Urell will have charge. é The St. John’s, Canton Potomac, Gonzaga College, and the Henderson Drum Corps, and possibly others, will furnish the music for the parading commands. ‘The proces- sion will disband at the National Guard armory, 5th and L streets. — HIS LIBRARY CARD. How an Absconding Defaulter Was Traced. Brom the Detroit Journal. A maneger of a branch office of one of the big packing houses in Chicago was found to be short in his accounts, and the day this fact was discoverel he disap- peared. His bond was furnished by the Baltimore company, and Mr. Macbeth was gent to Chicago to take charge of his books and, if possible, secure his arrest. Pinker- ton’s entire force was put to work on the case, and the city was searched for two days,without revealing any trace of the whereabouts of the missing man. Nr. Macbeth and “Billy” Pinkerton went to the absent manager's ottice to look over his books and personai effects in hopes of finding a clue. They ransacked a private desk without finding anything to which they attached any importance, and Pinker- ton had turned to leave the room when Macbeth spied in one corner of the desk a public Hbrary card issued in the name of the man for ‘whom they were looking. He ob- served by the entries on the card that sev- eral books had been taken from the library within a period of a month. and that the date of the return of one 90k corresponied with the date of the issuing of another. He put this card in his pocket and left the office in company with the detective. After they were in the street, the detective sald: “Why did you take that library card?” “I have an_ idea, Macbeth angewered, “and I want to go at once to the public brary.” An examination of the card showed that the missing man had procured fourteen different books, and a comparison of the numbers on the cards with the titles of the books, at the library, revealed the sub- jects he had been studying. The first book taken wes entitled ‘A Trip to Nicaragua; the second, “A History iy and nearly all others related to Centrat America. “He has gore to Central America,” said Pinkerton. “That's right,” Macbeth answered, “and it’s not yet too late to catch him at New Orleans.” ‘Telegrams were sent to the crescent city giving full lescriptions of the man, and the next day he was arrested in the office of a steamship company, While waiting for his turn at the ticket window. He would have sailed a few hours later for Central Amer- fea, —___+ee_______ Statistics of ~ Long Policeman. From the Chicago Times-Herald. John Dufficy is the longest policeman in Chicago. It would take only 782 of him, Placed end to end, to reach a mile. A stack of twenty-six of him would reach to the eaves of the Monadnock bullding. A perpendicular line of two of him would make a festoon up one side of the patrol box, over, the top and half way down the other side. One of him hangs a foot ovef the average bed. A ladder of two of him would reach to the ceiling of any drawing room in the city, and, standing on tiptoe, one of him could blow down the gas burner in most any chandelier. He stoops to en- ter the average door, and when he holds his arm out straight and says his wife is about so high, an average man can walk under his arm and not get a dent in his AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA! ‘Mrs, Butts’ Motive in Taking Laudanum Under Discussion. Third Regiment Field Band to Camp at Chapel Poimt—Mecting of Demo- eratic Delegates. Evening Star Bureau, No. 529 King street @ell Telephone No. 106), ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 28, 1807. ‘Was it an attempted suicide or was it an overdose of laudanum taken acciden- tally? is the question which is being asked today about Mrs. Charles -Butts, who was found in an almost unconscious condition at her home, No. 909 Oronoco street, last night. Some say that she was in an un- happy frame of mind, owing to troubles with her husband, while others say it was brought about by using too much lauda- num to allay an aching tooth. Mr. Sam Mills, the baker, said to a Star representa- tive this morning that Mrs. Butts w: in his bakery yesterday afternoon compl&in- ing of a very bad toothache. When her husband found her last night she was rapidly becoming unconscious. Heroic methods were resorted to, and Dr. Jores was summoned. On his arrival he used a stomach pump, and in a short while had Mrs. Butts out of danger, and today she is tn apparent good health. There is quite a bit of romance about the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Butts. About two months ago they applied é0 the clerk of the corporation court for a license, but the lady not being of age, it was refused. They then applied to Judge J. K. M. Norton of the corporation court for relief, the pro- spective bride being without parents or a! one who could raise an objection to tl match, and Judge Norton appointed a guar- dian. They went to the residence of Rev. J. H. Butler, pastor of the Baptist Church, where the knot was tied, and later they had a wedding reception. They went to board with Mr. John Bernhardt at No. #10 Orcnoco street, and It is whispered around the neighborhood that it was not many days before domestic troubles ensued, and which, it is said, were the cause for the ycung bride attempting to end her life. Mrs. Butts is about eighteen years oli amd quite pretty. Will Take an Outing. _ A called meeting of the 3d Regiment, Vir- ginia Volunteer Field Band, was held in the hall of the band, on South Royal street, last evening. with Sergt. Maj. W. E. D. Krauss in the chair. The purpose of the meeting was to receive the report of the excursion committee and perfect arrange- ments for the annual encampment of the band. Mr. William Humphries, chairman of the committee on the excursion recently given by the organization to Marshall Hall, said his committee was unable to make a report at present, but that the net proceeds of the excursion’ would be sufficient to defray the expenses of the band for a ten days’ encampment, without taxing the members anything whatever. The committee appointed at the last meeting to report upon a suitable camping ground suggested several places on the lower Potomac river, and upon a vote being taken it was decided that the en- campment should be held at Chapel Point, Md. The date of the encampment could not be set, owing to the fact that it is not known definitely what day the tents will arrive. A great deal of discussion in re- gard to camp duties and regulations was indulged in by the members present. Sergt. Krauss stated for the information of the members that he had received a_ letter from Col. Nalle, in which it was stated that the encampment must be held under strict military rules. After a great deal of discussion, of in- terest to the members only, the band ad- journed. ‘onzy” Arrington Fined. Fonzy Arrington was fined $5 in the police court this morning for assaulting "Squire Lovejoy yesterday afternoon. From the evidence adduced it appeared that 'Squire Lovejoy, a justice of the peace from the third ward, went to the house where Arrington resides to serve a notice to vacate. Not finding any one at home who would accept service Lovejoy went off to get a hammer and tacks to put the notice on the door. When he returned to the house Arrington was there, and they had a scrap, in which both received wounds. Arrington has a cut on the top of his head and Lovejoy one over his eye. Meeting of Delegates. There will be a meeting of the Alexan- dria city and county delegates to the Roan- oke convention at the office of Colonel Francis L. Smith Friday evening next for the purpose of organization. It is under- stood that Mr. J. E. Willard of Fairfax Court House has chartered a Pullman car and will carry the Fairfax delegation to the Roanoke convention as his guests. Mr. Willard is prominently spoken of as chair- men of the state democratic committee. Mrs, Mills’? Funeral. The funeral of the late Mrs. Victoria Mills took place from Christ Church yes- terday afternoon. Rev. S. A. Wallis of the Theological Seminary conducted the ser- vices, and the pallbearers were Messrs. Se Devaugh, Bontz, Naylor, Edelin and x. Brevities.

There was a called meeting of Alexandria- Washington Lodge, A. F. and A. M., iust evening. Cc, H. J. Taylor, former recoréer ef deeds of the District of Columbia, has, it is eald, arranged to open an office in this city. There was quite a pleasant straw ride to Falls Church given by the young men of the M. P. Church last night. Eel Blood for Snake Bite. From the Philadelphia Record. Some years ago the naturalist Mosse found that the blood of eels, particularly that of sea eels, contained a poison which acted, when transferred into the human system, similar to the venom of vipers, al- though weaker, inesmuch as the eel poison brought about a similar reduction of the temperature of the blood as the snake poison. Based upon this fact, Prof. C. Phisalix. mad® very interesting researches, which he presented recently to the Academy of Sciences at Paris. He concluded that the blood of eels possessed immunifying agen- cies upon snake poison. He succeeded by heating a solution of eel poison to 58 de- grees centigrade to destroy its virulence, so that it was possible to inoculate a guinea with the fluid, the only effect being the raising of the temperature by a few de- grees, This reaction of the organism was followed by a perfect capability to resist the poison of the vipers, which was ad- ministered in a deadly dose fifteen to twenty hours after the inoculation with ce] blood, but it absolutely failed to kill the gnimal. Even a very small quantity of the eated eel serum was sufficient to produce immunity from snake poison. This discov- ery is most important, since it can be em- ployed for immunifying human beings againét snake bites, and, if not too far pro- gressed, it will even insure a more rapid recovery from sneke bite of victims who had not previously been immunified with the serum. —— oe Useless Salutes.

From the Dertolt Free Press. “When you have a chance to do a fellow mortal a good turn, do it,” said the fine- coking old gentleman who was enjoying Limself with some acquaintances In the smoker. “I don’t rest this advice on the golden rule alone, for it doesn’t seem as potent as man’s selfishness in this world, but also on the ground of policy. “T'll give you one illustration of many that I might supply. I had a rich father and grew up with an extravagant family that never stopped to consider cost. We were in the very center of the social whirl and listed among the cream of the aris- tocracy. On an occasion when we gave the ™most brilliant social function that the city had ever known the old gentleman issued a Positive order to servants and members of the household that no reporter should be admitted. “In the midst of the festivities I went to the kitchen to hurry up some order that had been neglected, and came plump upon one of the ‘waiters’ who was behind the door taking notes as fast as he could write. I knew him at once for a reporter, but ed- mired the fellow’s shrewdness and pluck. Besides, it would be a good joke on the governor. So I talked to the young man, without letting him know who I was, and consented not to peach in return for his promise not to write anything offensively personal. He got a ‘scoop’ that he prized eatly, was surprised to learn later who helped him through and frequently as- sured me that it might come his turn some “A few years later our entire fortune was Swept away and I was stranded. Ashamed to work at home, I went through to San , determined to take anything le- timate that turned up. When I went but my enterprising newspaper friend. He was at the head of the whole concern and ‘one of the greatest pushers on the coast. He wrung my hand, tore up the advertise- ment I had written, took me into his pri- vate office and in ten days I was managin< os the business of a rich land syndicate. verything came easy after that.” ————+ e+ The Iroquois Wampum is Gone. From the Syracuse Post. By the death of Chief Thomas Webster, keeper of the wampum of the Elder Brothers of the Iroquois Confederacy, at the Onondaga recervation, the last of the aged wampum keepers of the Six Nations is removed. The fact is also developed that very little of the wampum remains in the hands of the Indians, most of it having been stolen or secretly sold. Chief Webster kept the Wampum under his bed in his cabin on the reservation. Investigation shows that the more valuable pieces of it are missing. Three years ago, on the occasion of the Onondaga county centennial, the wam- pum was exhibited intact. Since that time pieces purporting’ to be the original wam- pum of the Six Nations have turned up at the Smi nian Institution and the State Museum at Albany. The mayor of Albany is said recently to have come into possession of one of the most valuable pieces, called the Hiawatha belt. How these pieces were spit away, and whether or not with the vance = Chief Webster, is a matter for inves- gation. : Chief Webster's funeral was held at the Lerg house on the reservation Runners have been di arranged to appoint a new keeper is left of the Iroquois wampum. ————o- ——___
