She cast a quick glance downward and theve lay the white petticont a silent witness to the demoralizing effect of a hasty or careless toilot. Carmeucita was cov- ered with confusion for an instant. Then she buvst into n hearty fit of laugh- ter, kissed her hands to the audience and hurvied off the stago. The audi- ence seemed to be delighted—at least the men did—for the roar of laughter that rang through the house did not abate for several secounds, As for the ladies, some of them blushed and cast their eyes down, some started in amaz ment, while others laughed heartily, et TOWERS RICHLY LINED WITH GOLD, Wealth in the Old Bonanza Ores Wero Reflnod, Sun Francisco Examiner: TFor nearly a quarter of a century two tall towers have stood at the foot of Hyde strset, near Loavenworth, almost on the edge of the beach. One rises to a height of 110 feet and the other reaches move than fifty feet in the nir. They are both very broad and thick and they have brick enough in them to construct seversl buildings. They are relies of the flush old days of the Comstock mining era, when Flood, O'Brien, Fair, and others banded together and erected the famous Smelting and Refining works, from the bonanza days of 1868 to as late us 1885 the great chimneys belehed forth fire and smoke. They never stopped. Wreaths of flame and volumes of soot circled in the air over the domes at nlt,ht time, while hundreds of men led in and about the works, cutting and shoveling ore und slag, molding | THE bars of bullion and refining it silver, gold, lead and copper. In 1885 the Seiby company concluded to move ite works. It was known that the old underground flue that connected the furnaces with the chimneys, as well as considerable of the ground all about, was permented with gold and silver set- tlings and solid metal. On the advice of a skilled European expert the company dug up the ruins as well as a large amount of soil to the depth of five or six feet and transforred it by tons to the new works at Port Costs, There the stuff was run through the works and it is said realized not less than $500,000. Salby & Co. did not dream that in the tow which were left standing and in the million tons of slag and mineral permeated soil much wealth remained. They accorcingly abandoned the place. The ground was sold and nothing was thought about it for a long timo. Sume time ngo W. B. Cluff, the well known merchant and politician of this ¢, nequired the ground on which the old works and the present slag pile and chimneys romain, It consists of five fifty-vara lots, or two and a quarter acres, Meantime he had several perts make examination of ti towers and the surroundings. ported that the metal and bluck the towers was a veritable mine vealth, and that the grimy matter that filled the interstic nd in one form or another permeated the brick recked with valuable minerals. Also that the gray slag which had been carted v from the blazing furnaces in primitive days contained large quantities of gold and silver and should be worked over. Promptly thereupon Mr. Ciufl secu ed the silver and gold lined tow and the debri He is suid to have paid $40,000 for the chimneys alone. Hisobject is to work thew up and get the money out of them. “I.do not think T will have any t-ouble in getting the gold, silver and nlhor mineral out,” hesaid yesterday. Tt was on the advice of an Knglish expert that Selby & Co. took a lot of the deb:is to Port Costa, and T am informed they got over $500,000 out of that. Several skilled mining men have come to me intely and offered to buy me out or work the ¢himneys, slagand soil on a pe age. 1 have not closed with any do not think I shall. There isan immense amount of slag there. Insome places it is 200 feet deep. It ail contains gold, silver and lead, with some copper. 1 have had ground assayed about there, too, and it all shows up well. Insome places it is very rich. Mr. Cluff’s intention is to tear down the great towers, which have so long been landmarks in the history of the city, and can be scen for miles out at san and in other directions, and wrest from them their gold and silver lining. OMAHA to pure Anrimte Blaine's First Speech, Washington Yost: The gentleman f om California began if; he is tall and straight and handsome, with an oldtime courtesy and i about him that we must go to the old school to find; his audience was made up of ladies who gathered about him in the parlos after dinner; there was one other gentleman present. but he wus enjoying a tete-n- tete with ayoung lady in the opposite corner of the room and we had the gen- tieman from California and his fund of rare stories at our disposal. “There are but two statesmen in the world,” said he, “‘Gladstone and Blaine; and, Ly the way, ludies, I heard Blaine mukc his first speech over fift ago!

Scared? We were scared to death, and Jimmy Blaine shook worse than I did. Ican see him as though it were yesterdny. There ho stood, barefooted, patched trous- ers, and a linsey-woolsey ‘wam- mus’ buttoned tight around him. He dug the toes of his right foot into the ankle of his lefy, working and swinging his heel in a kind of semi- civcle, while his hands twitched and hung like pounds of lead at his side. This is the way he bowed” (here the story teller arose and bent himself as the hig blade of a_jackknife shuts) “‘and this is what he said, us he gazed stead- fastly at the ceilin *'R-i-m—Rim, P-i-n—Pin; L xfl"N» -t J- o.b Job, S(Hl \od.

Blaine’s first speech;” the story teller stroked his beard and studied the carpet. I have never heard him speak, carrying with him thousands of American people on the wings of his matchless statesman’s eloquence, that I have not looked back through the mists of the years and seen that boy in the old school house saying: *Reim, vim, p-i:n, pinl’ "Ab, how muny good things we d ‘lose if our memories proved traitor: _._._. TRANSFIXED BY SONG. A Colored Lad's Sweet Voice in n Phila- delphia Station House, The wonderful power of a little child’s song on hardened criminals has just been illustrated in two police stations, says the Philadelphia Record. Officer Garnet of tho Nineteenth district noticed a little colored boy crying piteously just after the noon hour, at Eleventh and Locust streets, *‘Lost child,’” mused the officer, and then, *“*hullo, Johnny, what’s the matter?” The child looked scared half to death at the sight of the big policeman, but managed to sob oyt: ST want my mammal” The queer little waif was taken to the Nineteenth district police etation. He was well dressed, wo e a smart cap trimmed with gold lace, and luukch unusually intelligent. A volley of ques- tions could not extract from hfm where he lived, and all he carved to say was, “My name is Joseph Edwaras Reason, und Iam 9 yoars old,” He had a clear \\mo and spoke with unusual distinet- In a few minutes he had forgotten hls troubles and went to make friends with the stationhouse cats. Then he walked up to a big sergeant and said, an sing; can you?” The big sergeant was so astonished at his small questioner that be let his cigar fall on one of the cots, but none of the officers laughed. They were too aston- ished. I can sln[?' you one of my Sunday sohool songs,” volunteered the small boy. Then, without waiting for an invitation, his cleur soprano voice, full of sweet: ness, rang out the words of ‘‘Jesus, Lover of My Soul.” The effect was startling, and every one listened respectfully. Men off duty came tiptoeing down stairs, and soon the litule singer had a group of calloused officers of the law about him. Lumps came up in their throats, pipes were 1aid down and eyes became suspiciously moist. The prisoners who were recoy- ering from their Sunday’s debauch, waiting for the patrol wagon to take them to prison, stopped their cursing and histened. After the last note died away a hardened sinner, whom the de- tectives know as o desperate criminal, jumped up, and in & husky whisper said to the turnkey: “Hardy, dat’s de stufl, sing some more, Sce®”’ The little warbler could do uothing Make de kid DAILY BEE: WEDN | tral police station.

At a time when there appearod to be little chance that congress would take up the claims or make any appropriation 1o pay them, thoy signed contracts with the Washington agents, promising from one-quarter to one-half the amount to the agent in case the money should be collected. In vie: this extortion con- gress inserted a proyi8fon in the act annul- ing all contracts and limiting the agent's commission to 15 or 20 per cent. The claimants ail probably understand that theagent's commission has been limited by the law, but many of them, according to their own statements, do not understand that they are froe to do as they please about employing the agent they had first chosen. They con sider that they are still bound to amplo{ the agent with whom they signed the exor bitaa contracts whether thoy are yauisfial with him or not. 1t was the inention of congress to protoot them at all points and they were left on the passage of the act free to” do as thoy ploased and employ whom they plsased. Section § of the sct stated: ‘“That all sales, trunsfers or asmignrients of any such claims heretofors or horeafter mude, except such as have occurred io the due administration of decedents' es tates, and all contracts heretofore made for feos and allowances to claimants’ attorneys are hereoy declared voic. ‘There could be no mistake about the mean- lng of this. All clsimants had to make new ocontracts with agents after the passage of the act, aad they were at liberty to employ any one they ploased. @l 1f they were pleased with the zeul and acts of their firsu Physici awiy.
