Yesterday brought several chuncks of costly experience to a number of the leading business men of the Bluffs, and it is hoped Al they will profit by it, inasmuch as they failed to profit by the experience of others, It is @ fuct to be wegretted but nevortheless @ true one, that the business circles of this city bave preseuted a most inviting and profitable field for some time past for the op- erations of the smooth confidence man and swindler, Husiness men who haye success- fully battled for years against the strongest opposition and competition, and huve distin- gulshed themselves by careful buying and shrewd selling have been puwmbersd amon the victins, and when the maguetic hook o 00, hard dollare aiteoheds mavy of o] they have taken their medicive bravely. ‘They have resolved to steer clear of th swindler's bait in the future, and will ui ng part of the r fellow business r slee the smoothly worked advertising flashily painted oard in one of the hotels is yet o silent witnoss to the that attended the 6fforts of the *'con The latest dodge, and one that aid not fail to catch its full quota of victims, was worked in this city Friday evoning, but it was during bauking hours vesterday t it first be- came apparent that all was not as it should be. The man who did the work is O, C. Van Nico, an employe of Max Meyer & Brother of Omaha, As nearly as can bo ascertained the afore. said young man has been setting the pace very' fost for some little time and the gambling houses of the twin cities have found in him a froquent as well as @ profita- ble visitor. Hohas played heavily and lost and the necessity to raise money to supply the drain is what has caused many to mour Friday evening Van Nice entered tho large establishment of _th Mueller music company, South Main _ street, and W to see Mr. representing Ma. & Bro., and said tie was doing busin the firm on this side of the river. He was short of money and wanted & check casbed, a8 it was after banking hours. The money was not to be secared, and the young man accompanied the gentldman of mammoth assurance across the street to the store of John Beno & Co. where he vouched for the stranger, who sccured 15 on a check on the First Natioral bank of Omaha. Van Nice then visited the store of Cole & Cole and told tho sawe story. He applicd to Mr. Hugh Coleto cash a check for $10. Cole demurred, but the stranger remar “Why, you know me. You bought a diu- mond stud of me about a year ago.” Mr. Cole did recognize the stranger as a clerk with whom hie had dealt at Max Meyer’ and he accoraingly cashed the check, As stated above, the truth was not dis- covered until the checks were presented yesterday. The Omaha bank catme very near paying ono of them, but it was dis covered that while Van Nice had formerly had money there on deposit, he had drawn it all, and there was nothing to his credit. It is stated that Van Nice has worked several parties in Omahs, who are left in the lurch for various sums. One of Max Meyer's men was in the city yesterday looking up the matter, and an Omatia officer was also here on the lookout for Van Nice. It will probably ve difticult 10 ascertain just how many in this city have been victimized, as nons of those who have not yet presentod their worthless checks will presont them and admic that they were bitten. Some of those whose che ve gone in deny,having had any connection with the case, M. Beno is not a loser, as he held Mr. Miller for the #15 advanced, and that gentleman paid it yest Van Nico was not arresiod yesterday, but it is stated that ho will be prosecutod on soveral counts. 1t is undorstuod that. Van ice has held o responsible position in the Meyer establishment, and was one of the most trusted employes.

What is going to be the future of San Francisco is a problem that few care to dicuss lest furthor un- welcome intelligence be the ontcome, One diseournging feature is that so much of the brain and wealth of Cali- fornin—the sons of pioneers who once made the state famous—are secking homes and opportunities elsewhere. There is nothing to tempt the vich yonng men of this decade to business enterpriso of any kind. Most of those who have inherited atth of their fathers are cither idle dawdlers or wasteful spendthrifts, Some are lac ing in either mental or physical capa i petuate tho useiulness or fame sives. Scorves of young men who have inherited the wealth of bo- nanza days have left the state for other ficlds—some for lurope, others for New York—all with intent never to return to the land in which their fathers toiled for their weaith and their children’s in- depeadence. In thisway millions have been car away from California, which in justice shou'd have remained here to assist in the state’s development, and prosperi The young men who remain are not all of benefit to the community. With the simgle excention of the Crocker family, the younger members of whicl are now in pussession of their father’ immense fortune, there is secavcely a millionaire’s son who has shown any business ability, public enterprise or any otker tendency than tie selfish en- jovment of suddenly Ther 1 dozen more w Francisco, and the eity better off 1f there were none. ¢planation might be made in the of Colonel yn Donahue, who, us the heir of his father, Peter Dona- hue, came into a piece of railway prop- erty worth several millions. The colonel has shown some sagacity in get- ting the property in such shape that it is available for sale to some eastern company who may want teeminal facili- ties in San I'rancisco, but further than that his genius has vot wandered. The colonel, like many of the other young millios s, wants to sell out and take up his abode in New York, where in- deed he now spends most of his time. By-reason of their vast r: and real estate intercsts the Crocker boys are probably anchoved to the coast. They are worth from $7,000,000 to $10,- 000,000 each, and it may in truth be said they are pretty good boys. Fred Crocker, the ecldest, has succeeded his father as vice president of the vast Southern Pa ystem, and will ulti- mately be at the head of that greatcor- poration. He is an active man of busi- ness, and is shrewd and careful. He is a worthy successor of the man whose energy did so much to build that great transcontinental railroad. The brother, William H., is a banker and is the society man of -the family.: It was foared at one time that Will, as he is invarinbly called, was going to develop into a cigavette fiend and a dude, but he rose above it and is now the head of one of the best banks in the city and managor of the millions of real ostate left by s father. George,the youngest ho in his youth was wilder than a dge, has taken his millions and gone into the cattle business in Nevada and Utah. He isa kind oi rough dia- mond, young George is,and he1snot apt to polish up much in his new survound- ings, but he has money enough to see him through in any enterprise. The three Crocker boys have been happily free from scandais—their names have never been associated with any but re- putable women, which is so unusual in California that it is worthy of remark. Rich young men here care little for the proprieties in their relations with the other sex. They seem as a rule to have no respect for mothers and sisters. They- will set up a siren in a gilded cage right in the shadow of the parental roof, and think they are doing something manly and creditable. Young Flood is the most conspicuous offender in this respect. His conduct both during und after the life of his father ostracized’ him socially, He is even said to have married the inmate of his dove cot, and that San Francisco, tolerant as it is in many things, will never forgive. The resvlt is that*'Jim- mie” Flood, us he is called, is never in- vited anywhere. He belongs to no clubs and his society is politely avoided by the pest people of both sexes. Yet he is worth five millions or more and is president of the big Nevada bank and owner of two' of the finest palaces in America. But his tastes and instincts are low, and when on one of his tearing sprees there are no depths to which the young man will not descend, Jimmie does not enjoy the the full confidence of the business community, so if he were disposed to go into mercaniile or other business enterprises he would not find much encouragement from other capi- talists, Of 81! the California millionaires the most unfortunate with his sons is ex- Senator Fair. He has two—James (., Jr,, and Charles. The elder is well known from the Atlantic to the Pacifle for his sprees and scrapes. Charley is lulluwlnf in the same path and both are incorrigible. The senator is bitterly disappointed in the development of his heirs, but he does not get the aympathy that one might expect. The reaklnr up of the family by that very foolish di- vorce is in the main the cause of the boys® worthlessness. They have had no training and have simply fzrown up wild with the usual result. f the fu- ture of Sam Franeisco depended upon the wealth and enterprise of such citi- zeus as the Fair boys promise to make hers would be a sorry fate. Timothy Hopkins, adopted son of old Mark Hopkins, und prospective heir of the present Mrs, Hopk!ns-Searle of Great Barrington, Mass., belongs in the Crocker category. He is in the railway swim and is now treasvrer of ‘the Southern Pacific company, “Tim,” as everybody calls bim, is a g&od boy, taough of very plebian blood, He is not relal y blood to any of the Hopkins family, but is the son of a poor Irish labover who used g, work for Mar kins years ago in Sacramento. Was very |>ri¢hm& took u fancy 1o h he boy d the millionaire hnd sent him to school, afterward adopting him and giving him his name, Tim Hopkins will be a very righ man some day and will know how to take care of his wenlth, He is mArlded to a niece of Mys. Hopkins-Searlp, and the two will inherit l‘u- bulk of her vast fortune. Young J. D, Phetia will, on the death of his father James Phelan, be another of San ['rancisco’s young millionnires, from whom not mmehcean be expected. “Jimmie* is like yayng Flood—one of the boys, and one plthe latter's constant companions, He nominaily has charge of his father's ceal’ wédtate, but Jimmi doesn 't bother himself inuch about bu; ness, Jumes Phelan, sr., i illite shman, who began h Francisco as a day laborer, and got rich with the growth of.the ¢ 3 He went into the bonanza deal of 1875 with 'lood and O'Brien, and_came out many times amillionaire. e is very large real estute owner, but has little or nothing invested 1n business. Hisson will never be anything but a rent collector and coupon _cutter, ns ara now such young men as Willinm B. Bourn, the Nightin- gnles, the Parrotts, sons of old John Parrott, who was formerly the great usurer of San [Francisco. Old man Parrott got vich by loaning money in the old days at 10 and 15 per cent a month, His sons are non-producers, but the whole family is very h. One of the likeliest of the youthful millionaires upon whom so much of San Frane sco’s future depends is young W. R. Hearst, son of the United States senator. He is only twenty-six years old, but is nt the head of California’s greatest newspaper, which he manages with a good deal of spirit and wact for one without either age or experience. Ho is the senator’s only son and the pride of his heart. The young magisa littic self-willed and obstinate, and in- clined to luxurious tastes and extrava- gant habits. but, upen the whole, he is w pretty good boy, He is strietly tem- perate, and is warm-hearted and impul- sive, always doing something freakish and sensational, but alwayvs for pubiic or private good. If young Hearst should live to become a millionaire, which he probably will, he wili be apt to make good use of his money. Sun Francisco lost a_quartet of prom- ising young millionnires when Fred Ogden Mills and the Dewey took up their residence in k. Every dollar these four carrie away with them was madein California, and some of it shonid have remaivel to envich the state, Ben Ali and Louis T, Haggin, sons of James B. Haggin, have also made permanent homes i New York. and will never a n in San I'rancisco. The sons of the late W. C. Ralston are neither rich nor possessed of ability, and the eity for which the fafher ‘did so mnch need cxpect nothing from them. Alwogether unless n blood comes in to stir the commercial and industrial cir of the once famou§ city, San Fran will have to look : to her laurels as the chief emporium of the Pacific coa Already Scattle and Tacoma are thre ening hier supremacy! What do her ch yoang men propdse to do about it? il 1134 WHEN WOMEN' ARE DECEITFUL. What an Observing Man Has to Say About the Age:of Women. Time was when to, Be sixleen was the best thing that could happen toa young girl, It was the age of dewy freshness, of innocent impressibilivy, and of all the other delightful biit rather verdant vir- tues which have won the hearvof the poet to song and wooed;the mindrof -the sage to somethingicbettor than his phi- Tosophy. But sweet sixteen is in short dresses today end still under the rule of her governess. Her affections have not yet departed from her dolls and she treats the few yourg men of her ac- qaintance with the simplicity of a child. It was a zood thing once to be sixteen; it is a good thing now to be twenty; to be twenty-five is better still, but to be twenty-eight 15 to be hlest? “There is no time in woman’s life when she is so delightful (married or unmarried, but particularly the latter)” suid an observing man yestorday, ‘‘as she is from twenty-five to thirty. She still has the enthusiasm of youth, and+ much of the tolerant sense of middle life. Her judgment is' mature, and her opinions carry weight. The shyness and timidity of her girlhood,” says a woman writer on the New York Sun “have passed into a poise of manner and a gracious dignity that places her friends at once at their easy best. She has had experience, aud that experi- ence has given her a clear understand- ing of the world as it really is and of hersell without 1illusions. Therefore her estimates and criticisisms of life ave shurp and sure and usually to be trusted, because she has no theories to bolster np and no illusions to perpetu-~ ate.” “But there is something to be said on the other side,” said a woman of twen ty- six who heard him. *‘It may look like very smooth sailing from the outside, but one can have little idea how much tact it takes to steer straight in the narrow path of the five years that lie be- tween twenty-five and thirty, In the first place a woman at that age hardly knows where to place herself, She is neither young nor old, She is what Julian Hawthorne calls ‘still young,’ and the little adjective adds ten years at a'stroke. Ifa woman who is only ‘sti1l young’ takes the coy and kittenis role, she makes herself inmortally ridje- ulous, and deservedly so. She has some- times even to fear letting hersell be ontaneous and natural, lest some one shall dub her the ‘girlish old girl.’ To be older than her years makes a prig of }}:er at once, and men and gods willshun er, “To the very young man she must be grandmotherly = without hurting his dear, little vanity by superior wisdom and patronage. 0 the middle-aged man she must respond’ with a maturity of judgment that mitches his own, an et she must cont{m‘u]ly suggest the nnocence of sixtéen. ' To the man be- tween the two she fmay perhaps be nearer her natursl self, dnd yet even with him she hascontinually’to remem- ber that she must never assume the equality of knowledge or experience or judgment ich she 1is sure she ~ really gosses, She is often -truer in 'hér judgment and wiser in her concliisfons”than ha is; he must never suspéct 'it. She may be cleverer than h¢, but she must be cleverer enough 'to” conceal it. She must follow him q\ ays, but, like little Tulus, it must be'¥¢ith unequal foot- steps,’ or his vanity ‘is wounded. From 25 t0 30 & woman has the most dificult rt of her life to live, She hasto issemble ' in the present, remember from the past, and borrow from the future, She may be delightful, but she is far from being delighted.

She is a faded-looking ‘®oman, nearly fifty yoars of age, deep blue eyes and a mass of dark hair parted in new-fash- 10ned style about her wrinkled forehead She bears the traces of suffering on her face, and it s ensy to see at a glance that her's has been no common career, says the Atlanta Constitution. Her name is Mrs, Victorine Hender- son. In a lonely log cabin among the hills of Habersham, seven miles above the picturesque little town of Toccoa, dwelt this widow with her two children. The oldest is a daughter, suffering with the worst stages of cancer, and the mother was her only nurse. On last Friday she was arrested by Deputy Marshal Tom Osborne, and brought to Atlanta, Her story is u piti- ful one ns she tells it. Four years ago her husband, Jasper Henderson, got into trouble with her brother, Bob Mo aud the latter shot him to death in Morris’ own yard. He was arrested and lock p in Haber shum county jul, from which he e caped, but in the attempt was shot through both legs and died from his wonnds, Mrs. Henderson was ar- sted for, complicity in the Kill- ing, and although she protested her innocence, she was put on trial for her life, und Judge Estes of Gainesville de- fended her. The case lingered along until it came to trinl, and she was cleared of the churge, but left with a burden of poverty and debt upon her woakly shoulders, with her two father- less children to take care of, and the in- valid one to nu She had no_meuns of support, exeept the little patch on the mountain side, no way to pay the fee of her lawyer and benefactor. But with a woman’s fidelity she be- gan to cast about for some way of rais- ing the money. Finally she hit upon the plan of mak- ing iiquor. Stored away in a corner was an old-time brandy still that had been in disuse ever since it had been a crime for people to distill their own and their neighbors’ products of field and orchard. The widow had been in- itinted into the mysteries of distilling long ago, 'ere all those benuties came upon her. Her eabin was closely built, and 1oside its walls she hoped that she might be able to elude the vigilance of of the revenue men. The old brandy still was put up and the poor widow went to work.

Society au Helena Not What it Was Five Years Ago. . 'The clubin Helena is a comfortable one, occupying the entire upper floor of the Gold block, which only a year ago was considered one of the handsomest blocks west of Chicago, but is now utterly dwarfed by the Bailey and Power blocks erected on each side of it, writes a correspondent to the New York Eveniug Post. The Montana Club members have resolved to occupy a building of their own, which they cer- tainly ought and can easily afford to do. Socially Helena may be described as being in the hobbledehoy age. The “old-timers” represent the men, and the younger set the boys. Cultivation and brans are slowly dislodging for- mer customs and manners. and the ger- man and cotitlion clubs gradually tak- ing the place of the old time pioneer organizations: A rather umusing sketch was read recently at a meeting of the literary society, which purported to be a true account of “'society as it was only five years ago.” *Then,” the author of the article remarked, **youy hack driver or the clerk who sold you ribbon at the store was quite likely to ask how you enjoyed the hep last night, Swallow- tails were an insult and cocktails an unheard-of luxury. Kverything was taken straight and a good deal which was not straight was taken for granted, The Pioneer club devised a sot of rules and had some framed. Among these was one requesting that ‘gentle- men sfould take their trousers out of their boots before going on the floor.’ Spitting was also forbidden.” But times have changed in Helena and a man without & dress suit would now be as much out of place at the Assembly club dances as ten years ago he would have becn had he ventured to wear one. Afternoon teas, card parties and r tions are s popular here as 1n York and i{‘ some of the young ladies are a little unconventional they make up in good nature and kindheartedness .what they lack in manners, P i A WHALE'S MOUTH, Fish Story of the Experience of a Modern Jonah, J. W. Kiesler, late commander’s clerk, United States navy, now a resi- dent of Honcsdale, Pa., told the follow- ing story toa Philadelphia Press re- porter of a very remarkable experience of an American sailor with a whale, He says: George Leonard, an acting master in the United States navy dur- ing the civil war, and stationed on board the gnnboat Katahdin, West Gulf blockading squadron, in 1863, told a story of heroism, and exhibited marks on his body that corroborated his words, The year 1850 found Leonard as one of the crew on the ship Enterprise, a whaler in the north Pacific, Qae day he was stationed in the bow of a whaleboat a long distance from the ship, with a brave crew who had sighted a whale and made for the monster with all possible dispatch, When within proper distance Leonard threw his har- poon, striking the fish hard and deep. In some manner the line as it was running out eaught the body of one of the men in such a way as to throw him overboard, The man suddenly sank, whereupon Leovnard transferred his line to a boatmate and sprang into the ocean in aid of the drowning sailor. ‘The whale, now maddened by hjs fast- flowing blood, made a rush for the boat. Remarkable and horrible to relate, Leonard’s friend had managed to regain the boat, while he himself was caught by the whale between his jaws, his po- sition being inside the monster’s mouth, with nothing protruding but one of his arms. In this manner the man was in reality within the jaws of death itself. The whale instantly plunsad down into the deep and, in the words of Leonard himself, *‘the fish seemed to be going down, down into eternity itself.” The imprisoned man, after all this, had not lost his presence of mind, He mustered his entire bodily strength— and he was a powerful man—actually bracing himself.in such position as to compel the fish to spread his jaws. At the same time, with his arm that was free, he grabbed the sheath knife out of its socket, cutting right and left, No gooner was there a suffclent opening made than TLeonard forced his body outside. Up to the surface he swam, when, strange to say. he found himself within an arm’s length of his boat. He was saved, Thoe marks of the whale's violence and the dents of its tecth wore vary plainly visible on Leonard’s arms, and he was always pointed out by his brother naval officers as “‘the second Jonah.” - O — WORMS THAT EAT STEEL. Nothing Else Will Satisfy tho Orav- ings of Their Appetites, For the past two years the German government has heen making inquiries into the life, history and ravages of one of the most remarkable worms known to exist, says the St. Louis Republic. This wonderful creatun hose gluttonous appetite is only sat d after a feed on common steel, was first brought into general notice by an article in the Col- ogne Gazette in June, 1887, For some time preceding the publi tion of the account mentioned the g est consternation existed among the en- gineers employed on the railway at Hagen by accidents, which al d at the samo place, pre some terrible defect must e in the material or the construction of the rails The government became interested and sent a commission to the -spot for the purpose of maintaining a constant watch at the spot where the accidents —one of them attonded with loss of life ~had occurred. It was not, however, until after six months had elapsed that the surface of the rails appeared to be corroded, us if by acid, to the extent of over 100 yard The rail was taken up and broken, whercupon it. was found to be literally honeycombed by a thin, thread-like gray” worm. The worm is said to be three contimeters in length and about the bigness of a common Kknitti needle. It is of a light-gray color, and on the head it carries two little sacs or glands filled with a most powerful cor- sive secration, which is ejected every ten minutes when the little demon is lying undisturbed. This liguid when squirted upon iron renders that metal soft and spongy, and of the color of rust, when it is easily and greedily devoured by the little insect. 1,**There is no ox- aggeration,” says tho official report, *‘in the assertion that this creature is one of the most voracious, for it has de- voured thirty-six kilogrammes of v in a fortnight.” L -——— BEARS IN A QUANDARY. Two ot Them Become Tightly Wedzed ina Narrow Doorway. A roaving fire blazed and crackled in an old-fashioned fire plice at a hunters’ resort near here the other eveuing, says a letter from Oakland, Pa., to the New York Tribune. At inte ing the early eveming half a hardy and bushy-whiskered resid hunters and trappers strolled in and sat oa the benches. Each one told a story or two about bears, some of which are condensed as follow. *J'wo of us were hauling logs out of the woods back of Price’s swamp last winter,” saia a tall lumberman. “We bad a shanty in the woods and we ate our dinners there and fed our horses on oats out of canvas feed-bags. Our work kept us about half a mile away from the shanty ‘between meals, but we had to pass the place on our way home atnight. I wanted to use my dinner pail to dip water with one afternoon and so I put some meat and bread [ had left 1nto one of the feed-bags and hung the bag up on two nails inside of the shanty. It was dusk when we drove toward the shanty with a load of logs. Iwasahead of the team, the other fellow driving, and as I neared the shanty I heard a big racket in it. I made a rush for the 1ittle building and before I had gone ten paces out dashed a whopping big bear. His nose was in the feed-bag and he couldn’t get it.out, be- aause the rope was over his neck. ~He couldn’t see over the top of the bag and he was hilf scared to death when he got sight of'me. 'I'he bear made a dive behind the shanty and started for the swamp and I yelled at the other man and told him to stop the team and hurry down with the ax. Then I grabbed a canthook and ran after the bear. In his haste to clear out he’d butted his head against a tree and tum'bled backward, and before he had time to rally I got a good grip around the middle ‘of his body with the cant- hook. He yanked mé over something less than an acre of brush, but I held him with the hook ull the other fellow came and crushed his skull with an ax and then we piled him on top of the load of logs and took him home, He weighed 427 pounds.” - Little Mig-Horn, Ernest McGafey, Beside the lone river That idly lay dreaming, Flashed sudden tho gleaming Of saber and gun In the light of the eun As over the hillside the streaming.
