“tMERICAN DERBY FAVORITES | Fast Oolts that Will Endeavor to Pull Down the Big Prize. LIKELY WINNERS IN THE GREAT EVENT Nineteen Starters that Wil Keop People Guessing—A Rapid String of Horses— Talls that Can Set & Warm Paco, Cnicaco, June 18—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.]—With the American Derby less than a week away, thore are probably nine- teon starters. The number may be fncreased, The Scoggans may declare Buck McCann out and Lady Bess is a doubtful starter. The nineteen likely to face the flag next Saturday at Washington park are: Ingomar, Lookout, Boundless, Lady Bess, Morcllo, Plutus, Ramapo, Strathrose, St. Croix, Buck McCann, Clifford, Don Alonzo, ¥loodgate, G. W. Johnson, The Keaper, Prince Deceiver, Chorister, St. Leonard and Enthusiast. Don Alonzo will probably be the post favorite and descrvedly so. On the 3-year- old form, as between him and Chorister, there was no argument. He was, next to Morello, unquestionably the best of the east- ern colts, while Chorister in his six starts failed to earn a single bracket. The pair have not met this season. Good at Short Distances. Chorister's best races have been at short distances, and while he has demonstrated that he has a wonderful flight of speed, his ability to sustain it in the Derby route, with his welght up, may well be called prob- lematical. . Leonards, the other keen representa- tive, is an unknown quantity, The stable trainer is on record as saying that, compared with nim, Chorister is a’ selling plater. If that be true one need go no further than this fellow for the winner. His record was certainly better than Chorister's as a 2- year-old, a stake being rocorded to his credit. Don Alonzo has shown by his race with Rainbow that pounds will not stop him at a mile and a half, and he can be depended on %o run a grand race. G. W. Johnson will hardly do at the distance and I chance is only an outside one. Of the western colts, nothing seems to have a chance but Cushing’s Best and Chf- ford. Cushings’ chance is an unmistakeable one. Lookout is as well seasoned a colt as over looked through a bridle, and he is fit for the grucling race before him. He has boen something of a mystery to western turf followers. 1t wns generally supposed that if ho was headed in the first part of a race he would not try and thatif anythiong in next Saturday's ‘race could live with him past the stand the first time, his chances were good, WON IN Tif Jlow the Nonparells Pulled Out of a Tight Pluea Yesterday Afternoon. The biggest crowd of the season went ont to Nonpareil park yesterday afternoon to sce the Nonpareils beat Tom Bermingham's Conventions out in the last inning. And they witnessed the most exciting, as well as vest gamo of the season. ahan and Jerry Mahoney were and lage enough 's great big lot. But how tho Nonparcils did take to Joe Miller's pitching. ‘I'nev nad to do it or lose. Their errors were offset by their terrific atting. Two home runs. a tviple and wven singles are more hits than any pitcher wants to face in one game, but the Senegambinn _twirler who plays for Tom Bermingham had to stand it. Spud Farrish started in to umpire the ame, but before two innngs had been fin- shed'somo assinine 1diot gave 1t out that Spud had monay placed on the Nonpareils. Thereupon Spud grew wrathy; he denied the imputation and incontinently threw up the thankless task. Willio Wegman was substituted. Stoney opened up with a hot one to Jellen, that the South Ender couldn’t hold. He stole second, went to third on Jellen's fumble of Van Arnam’s little tip,and came in on La- coy'smess of Yapp's third strike. Creignton also scored in this inning on another error of Jollen’s, aided by Sh and Mahoney’s miscues. The Nonpareils tied the score in their half on Buck Adams' miss of Ma- honey's fly, Creighton’s passed ball and Shanahan’s single. That's the way the game went. The Non- pareils in the fiela would let the Brumma- gen get the lead on rocky crrors, but they would come right back at the bat and punch Miller hard enough to even things up, irthe Conver.tion's hulf of the fifth the Nonpareils plastered themselves with glory of theother ind.

Miller struck out, leaving Ken- roe-quarters around, vils just got even in their half. as safe on a missed third strike. MeAuliffe pushed a safe one out near Stone; Mahoney went to fir 2 but was caught napping. After Shinahan had cut tho uir three successivo cuts Jellen knocked thercolor clean out of Miller. — One of his choicest slants came against Jellen's club and away out over Buck Adams’ head it went. By the time Buck had found the leather in oneof tho upper rooms of Huscall's unfin- ished castlo, Jellen had chased Croft and McAuliffe across the plato. Just to show how Iirer Miller was pounded into the earth read this about the seventh, *Jellon opened with o triple. Lacey followed th o singlo. Little Bradford, envious of en's hitting, smashed another one of _Millor's hot ones and it landed in about the same spot, away out in middle field, so far out that Buck Adums wanted threo throws to get it in. How was that for offsetting murnemlnn with good hittiug. A single, a ple, & homer, and three carned runs bo- fore & Nonpareil was out, With the score 11 to 13 at the open- ing of the uinth the Nonpareils went to picces again and aliowed the “Convens' to tie them. *“We can get a run in this game when we need it,"” said Captain Dave, and right he was. Bradfora struck out, Moriarty hit a safe one aund stole second. Flynn missed three ensy ones. Croft hadn't hit, so not to be behind the rest ha placed one over iu the left garden. Moriarty scampered fome with the South End boys sixth carnell run and won the game, Mention must be made of Stoney’s hit- tiug. Four hits in six turns at the bat is wretly good work, especially so with two of them trivles. Suy, it was an exciting game, 1f the rors wevo numerous. That leaves it two- and between the “Convens” and the South End “Champs.” It will be hot ball when they play the fifth. 'm going to see it.

Good st of Norses that Wil Sheepshend Bay's Groat K New York, June 18.—-One week ago the Suburban handicap, which will be run at Sheepshead bay Tuesday, gave promise of being the most brilliant contest of the kind seen in yoars, but in the short space of seven days, Tammany, His Highness, Diablo, win- ner of the Brooklyn handicap, and in all probability Pessara, winner of the Motro- politan handicap in 1892, have gone amiss and will not fa starter for the Coney Istand Jockey club’ prize. The dis- abling of the hor r. will make the Suburban a_ cer mplighter as Mr, Lorillard's champion carries 120 pounds and meets such handy horses as Banquet, Charade, Dr. Hasbrouck, Mars, The Pepper and Lolander. Tammany might havoe re- ceived his final prepavation for the Subur! 3 1bay. Heis regarded by com- as the bost handicap horse wo ve had in_years. Everybody admits that anquet will bo Lamplighter's most dange ous opponent Tuesday. Dwyer will proba- bly start Raceland to help him. Charade's easy victory in the Metropolitan hundicap at Morris Park made some close ob- scrvers think that the wcolt had a chance for the Suburban, but those who have carefully watched his career have always maintained that the distance isa fur- long to far for him. Dr. Hasbrouck’s race at Sheepshead bay was a sort of trial for the Suburban. This great sprinter has never been asked to run over a mile except on_one or two oceasions, and there has always been the gravest doubts as to his staying powers. TLowlander, whose weight is 105 pounds, was in the race and he carried the doctor along for the first soven furlongs at a very smart clip. Dr. Hasbrouck and FLowlander will scarcely be dangerous as neither relish the distance, It would be a big surprise if Ter- rifer should endanger them. Something averlooked is the Morris repre- sentative, Mars. He is game. He is in the race that will enable him to be a favorite from the start. His work has been so good that a number of trainers look upon him as the probable winner of Tuesday’s big event. Marcus Daly will be represented by The Popper. The Pepper was a smart old. He was the favorite this spring in the Morris handicap, in which he was ridden by Garrison and ran unplaced, and since that event has been published as lacking in en- durance. slonel North, who has not as yet won a race on this side of the big pond, will proba- biy start Iddelsleigh.

Sroux City, June 18. —[Special Telegram to Tue Bee.]—A committee, consisting of Vice President Stoddard of the St. Louis Third National bank; E. A. Hammill of the Corn Exchange bank, Chicago; William Reynolds of Marblehead, Mass.; James M. Donald of the Hanover National bank, New York and D. Plummer of the First National of ‘Warsaw, Wis., was appointed by a meeting of creditors of the defunct Union L n and Trust company and the allied institutions of this city, to endeavor to arrange for a com- mon trustee for all the intercsts to take charge of the assets aud develope them in- stead of permitting them to depreciate by assignee's sale under court orders. There were about 200 of the 400 creditors, repre- senting nearly $6,000,000 of the 8,000,000 of claims, in the meoting. It is thought that 5 10 80 per cent tnore can be realized in the assets through a trustee than by forced assignee’ SOUTH DAKOTA’S LADY COWBOY. Mlss Gertrude Petan Has Well Enrned that Title. CHAMBERLATN, S. D., June 18.—|Special to Tur Ber,]—West of here, in the ceded Sioux lands, is a genuine female cowboy. Her name is Gertrudo Petan, 18 years of age, and she formerly resided with her parents near Kimball, this county. Upon her parents re- moving to the ceded lands she accompanied them, and has since remained at their new homo on Bull creek, in .’ratt county. Her father invested in about 300 head of cat's. As her only grown brother works on an ad- joining ranch the duty devolves upon her to- take care of the cattie owned by her father. She does not simply tako the cattlo 0 the rangeand leave them there, but remains with them all dny and takes care of them as well as could any cowboy. Her dutles frequently take her from thirty to forty miles from home, as the cattie must be kept moving 'in order to feed good all day. Frequently some of the cattle be- come mired in the mud along the strcams where they graze, and then comes the hardest part of her work. Sho must rescue the cattle from their perilous position, This she does in true cowboy fashion, by fasten- ing a lariat to the horns of the mired cattle, with the other end of the rope securely fastened to the horn of her saddle. Then strong, steady pull by her pony draws the imprisoned cattle to a place of safety on dry ground. The young lady has been named “the lady cowboy” by the cowboys in that section. She dresses in the fashion prevalent amon the cowboys. She wears a wide-brimme white felt hat, long gauntlet gloves, carries a lariat coiled about the horn of her saddle, 18 provided with branding irons and rides the wildest broncho on the range. Sho has full ;‘hurgu of the cattle on her father's ranch. South Dakota Divorce Mattors. Sroux Faris, June 18.—[Special to THE Bre.]—Some quick work was aone in divorce circles in this city last week. Last Sunday Joseph M. Mason got to spreeing and after returning to his home amused himself for some time in breaking up the furniture and abusing his wife. Bright and early Tues- day morning the wife, Mrs. Amelia Mason, socured the services of an attorney, who at once brought an action for a divorce. Toda, Judge Aikens issued a decree of absolute di- vorce to the plaintiff, D Mason 18 sup- posed to be pretty well off, as she drew $15,- 000 in the Louisiana State lottery a few years ago. Madam Lopez the beautiful Spanish lady about whom so much was printed at the time of her arrival in this city a year ago, has secured her longed-for divorce’ and de- rted for London. Although the madam known here as the beautiful Spanish lady, she is in reality a native of New York. She was married on the 3d of June, 1882, at London, to Enrique Solano Lopez, a resident of Paraguay. Lopez's father was at one time director of Paraguay, but was deprived of his power by a revolution. OThe defenaant in the action still resides in Buenos Ayers, the case was very slow coming to o head. Papers had to be sent back and forth which consumed lots of time. Lopez secured an_attorney and prepared to fight the suit. His counsel was General Ferrura of Buenos Ayers who asked for the appointment of a commission to take evi- dence of certain parties in London, Havre and Ascencion, The request was granted. The evidence of Lopez's own witnesses did not strengthen tho defenso materially and the madam encountered no difficulty in se- curing her decree. During her stay in Sioux I"alls, Madam Lopez conducted herself most properly and made friends by the score. Sinking Artesian Wells, CHAMBERLAIY, —[Special to Tug Bee.)—Mayor Farvell has received from Indian Agent Brown of Pine Ridge copies of plans and specifications for sinking artesian wells at Pine Ridge, Rosebud and Standing Rock agencies. The well at Pine Ridgeisto be sunk at a point forty-five miles east of the agency and is for the pur- pose of supplying water for domestic pur- poses and for irrigating by creeks which usually dry up ip,summer. The well at Rosobud will be located thirty-five miles from the agency and is for the same pur- posos us the well at Pine Ridge. Three sites have been recommended for the loca- taon of the well at Standing Rock agency— one site is adjacent to the agricultural poard- ing school on the west bank of the Missourl river, sixteen miles south of the agency and six miles south of the southern boundary of North Dakota; the socond site is on Oak creek, thirtv-five miles south of the agency and from six to ten miles from the Missouri river; the third site is at a point from forty to fifty miles southwest of the ageucy. Allof the wolls must be from four to six inches in diameter, anda the dis- tance at which water can be reached is given at from 1,000 to 1,500 feot. It is the desire of the department to award contracts by July 1 if possible. so that the work can be pushed during the present summer. Farties bidding are required to send their bids to the Indian bureau ut Washington. Should the sinking of these wells prove successful, it will be but the commencement of a vast irrigation sys- tew west of the Missouri river. The pro- posed work will be a great deal in the nature of an experiment on the part of the govern- Eml;! to ascertain Ll @ oxtent of the artesian asin, In Miniug Circles, Leap Ciry, 8.

When these works are completed, which will pe in a very fow months, more men will be put to work. The Hawkeye mill at Pluma, which com- menced operations several months ago on oro from the group of mines adjoining this city, is running smoothly and turning out semi- monthly a handsome chunk ot the glistening metal. “The ore is transferred from the mines to the mill, a mile and onc-half distant, on a cablo tramway, which was re- c,bntly orected and gives perfoct satisfac- tion.

Interesting Features of Mineral Dovelop- ment at Lead City, S. D, Leap Criry, S. D.. June 16.—[Special Cor- respondence.]—To those interested in min- ing or tho production of gold, it may be of somo interest to know that this is the largest gold-producing mining camp or town in the world and the largest city in the Black Hills. containing 4,000 people, and is sustained entirely from gold minmg inter- ests. The mills immediately located here are the Homestake with two mills, the Highland, the Deadwood Terra and Cale- donian, with one mill each, and are owned principally by John T. Hagin & Son of Cali- fornia, ex-Senator Hearst's estate and O. Salisbury of Salt Lake. These mines fur- nish employment to 2,000 men and the company's pay roll will average $100,000 per month in ‘wages and salaries. ‘The company has honeycombed the ground about one mile in width and two and a half miles long, the decpest shaft being now 700 feet below the surface, ana the deeper the mines go the better the ore is proving. The company is now building new hoisting works about a mile from Homestake mill No. 1. To give on idea of the immensity of this concern, there are 720 stamps running day and night, including Sundays, and cach stamp crushes four tons of ore per day. All this ore is what is known as free milling ore ana is the largest body of this kind known in he world. ) Until quite recontly the company that owns all the land upon which Lead City 1is built aeclined to give anydeeds to lots.so that the buildings are nearly all frame and small. Now thecompaty is- giving deods, assuring certain rights and people are beginning to erect a better class of bujldings. 'The Miners union is erecting a large three-story stone building which would be'a credit to a city of 10,000 people. Lead City is built_on ground at an altitude of 5,400 feet and Bald moun- tain only a few miles distant has an altitude of 7,100 feet and seems to be a solid mass of refractory gold ore,, while Terra peak ad- joining Lead City has -an aftitude of 7,200 Teet and is 8 mountain of free milling gold ore. The pumping machinery of the Homestake mine is very ponderous. Its engine hasa stroke of thirteen feet and the pump lifts a stream of water twelve inches in diameter at each stroke. The miners maintain a hos- pital where the sick or injured are treated free of charge. In aadition to the immense mining interests the Homestake compan; runs a large department store. The build- ing_is two stories and basement with first and second stories as sales room and base- ment for storage. constructed of brick and finished inside with hard wood, mirrors, and recoption room finely upholstered, and cost §75,000. Each department is complete in itself and presided over by a competent salesman. The company buys the goods in car lots and buys the best of everything, selling on very small margins. Tho store is 1a charge of Mr. McKenzie, who seems to thor- ourhly understand his businessand sces that overything is kept in first-class order. Mr. Greer, the general superintendent of this ex- tensive business, the largest gold diggings in the world, is a comparatively young man, not over 40, of medium height, very quiet and dispatches business with great rapidity. He has had charge here since 1884 and is uni- versally liked by the employes, each one seeming to feel that he has a friend in him. Mr. Irwin, formerly of Nebraska and for soveral years connected with the Elkhora rond us agent and dispateher, is now time- keeper and in charge of the supply houses. He appears to be quite a favorite with those who transact business in lus oftice. All tho gentlemen prominently connected with the company are pleasant and affable, enjoying nov only the confidence of the com- pany, but also of the employes. The com- puny has never had s strike among its miners, all differences being sevtled by arbitration. It pays llberal wages, looks after tho best interests of the men, encour- ages the saving of their wages, rewards merit upon the first opportunity and dis- charges no ono except for good cause. The company ships out $300,000 por month in bullion, shipmeuts being twice per month. Wet or dry, rain or shine, crop or no trop, the production of gold_ goes steadily on at Lead City, and with the vast mountains still 1n sight there is enough left for the next fifty year: —_—— AMUSEMENTS, The opera selected for next Sunday night at the Farnam Street theater is Alfred Col- lior's famous English oera **Dorothy," “Dorothy” is the best of Collier's numerous operas and abounds in catchy music, laugh- able choruses and forcible and dramatic climaxes.

THINGS WORTH SEEING AT THE FAR Tiffany*s Dispiny of Gold and Silverware and Proclous Stones—Wenlth in Besutiful Trinkets—Ireland’s Famous Blarney Stone and Its Powers, Cricaco, 111, June 17.—The sightseer who goes away without first having obtained a view of the White City from the lake by night will have missed the most magniticent spectacle of all. From the roof of the Man- ufactures building, 206 feet up, from the car of the chained balloon, 2,000 feet sky wara, as from the wonderful, magmficent bicycle called the Ferris wheel, the bird's- eyo panorama beneath is inspiring enough to the ordinary mind. Ry day such exploits are exhilarating to the mind if not exciting to the sensos, and people even who nave been at the apex of the swaying Wash- ington monument vow tnhe trip to the roof of the main building is more sensa- tional. But human eye nover comprehended & more brilliant nocturnal optical banquet than that which may be seen aboard a steamer on *‘fete” nights (the fair is illumi- natod only on Tuesdaye, Thursdays and Sat- urdays, thbugh later on it may be open every night in the week, as it should be). Viewod from the FLak After sponding the day at Jackson park, and having had dinner and sanitary treat- ment and the locomotive cinders dug out of the eyes, get to the Van Buren strect viaduct and poard any one of the World's Fair Stoamship company's fourteen vessels, and you shall see what I shall attempt to describe, and probably fail utterly, for it is a task that a Dickens would tackle with a feeling of diffidence. Not yet has the poppy devotee in his divinest trance gained such a dreamy vision as this I viewed from the upper deck of the whaleback Christo- pher Columbus. The manifold reflec- tions of a noonday sun on the glass roofs and gilded domes of the fairy palaces makes a gorgeous spectacle itself; grander yet is the night scene. The great hulks of pillars and staff are spread beforo the dazzled vision, bathed in an almost perplexing splendor of pure white. About and above the courtof honor the inky depths of darkness are dis- pelled and if he was now offended one short look in that one spot where the powerful electric display is concentrated Ben Frank- lin himSelf would go back to his grave say- ing he mever saw such a beautiful aurora borealis. The panorama stretches out until it baffles the nge of vision as you approach it. The great black mon- ster looming up in such vivid con- trast to the south of this living lake of fire is the Mackaye spectatorium, a monument to the colossal daring of its pro- Jector. The graceful Greek peristyle near the other extreme of the shimmering specta- cle stands out aiso in relief against the golden dome of the Administration building, with its crown laced and interlaced by sparkling globes and trimmed near the base with flaming torches. Look further down to the city itself and for miles the miniature display continues. A score of swift express trains glide along the dark border near the water like silver spangled serpents, seeming naw and then to telescove as they shoot past each other with their burdens. The powerful search lights begin to throw their ferreting rays from the roof of the Manufactures building. They cross and form a perpendicular. And then their rays are directed upon the few dark spots, and as they flash from here to there the huge black dome of the Illinois building stands forth. Now tho battery of blazing electricity is turned upon the great Ferris wheel and the seats in the cars can almost be scen five miles away. The light is lowered until it strikes the Columbus group over the arch in the center of the peristyle, and the sun would a0t have exposed it more plainly to view. The light now strikes our stecamer and the passengers turn their faces from its blinding stare. I have told here only a part of the glorics you may experjonce from the deck of a steamer on Lake Michigan, Take the trip. 1t will be a lasting momory. Fortunes In Proclous Stones, ‘While Gevmany an1 other foreign countries attract much attention in the Manufactures building the United States should not be forgotten mereiy because we are hosts of the occasion, In the southeast corner of the vast hall this country has the largest as- signment of spuce, given up entirely to in- dividual exhibitors, because the congress made no appropriation for a government show except in its own building and on the lake front. Among these individual exhibits one pavilion contains a display more valu- able than any other in the building, as the name itself should warrant—Tiffany of New York. 1t was formally opened during the week just passing. It occupies the most prominent corner of the secvion with the Gorham Manufacturing compauy. Nearly all the articles shown were made especially for tho exposition. An exhibit of pearls from the Pecatonica river in the Wisconsin pavilion was considered handsome. Tiffany shows a string worth #400,000. Thero are little clus- ters of diamonds worth $1,000,000. The world known Tiffany diamond, representing a market value of $100,000, weighing 1253 carats, is on view. It is believed to be the largest yellow stone in the country. The next in size weighs seventy-soven carats, There are many other stones of extensive value. A single-strand necklace of pearls would bring $200,000. A corsage ornament contains 800 diamonds and 125 pearls. A Spanish epaulet contains 1,000 diamonds, numerous emeralds and several yellow sap- phires. In one diamond necklace are forty- two brilliants, aggregating 1,000 carats. The display of precious stones goes on thus end- lessly in elaborate profusion. In Gold and Sliver, In its way the silver and gold work makes a display equally as beautiful as the din- monds. Remarkably skillful workmanship and exquisite design'is shown in silverware. One piece is the “‘magnolia” vase, suid to be the largest ever made in silver, being two feet high, ornamented with mag- nolia blossoms and sprays of rod running up the side. value of the gold alone is placed at $1,000. Other attractive pieces are the Galst yacht- racing cup and & smoker's set, showing a rattlesnake strangling s duck, ornamentod with various jewels. Each scale of the snake i3 an opal and the rattlers are of Pecatonica river pearls. Another set of chased silver toilet articles is extromely clever. There are twenty-three, all con- tained in concealed drawers and shelves. In a case near the pavilion is shown a rare collection of stones, many in a native state, the only engraved diamond in the country, the largest piece of rock crystal, the biggest rose quartz ball ever cut, and many rare spe- vimens of jewals. Tiffany’s famous eneraving i numerous samples. There is a card showing the appointments of the house of Tiffahy to be “Gold and Silversmiths to H. I&.

S - AMERICAN WHIST CONGRESS, Great and Only Cavendish Comos from Lon- don to Attond Its Sesston. Tt is said that there are authors who write about whist much botter than thoy dan play the game, and it is cortain there are playors who play whist much botter than thoy can writo about it. Henty Jones of London, who is traveling in the United Statos just now, and who has achieved a world wide ropu- tation as the author of “Cavendish on ‘Whist,” belongs to neither of these classes, for he writes about the game and plays it equally well Mr. Jones visits America primarily to at- tond the American Whist coneress, beginning in Chicago tomorrow, but he is 0 making a tour of tho large cities and has already demonstrated his ality as a player of the game upon which he is sucha pre-ominent authority. His many years practice and his wonderful power of ‘instantly analyzing positions and conditions have made him master of every point of the game, and he is reported to condemn too close adherence to book plays. His practico and theory formulated would appear to be ‘‘open your play in accordance with the system which experionce has shown to be the best and continue it as observation dictates you should.” Mr. Jones was a practicing surgeon in Lon- don for upwards of twenty yoears. He evinced his fondness for cards and other games oarly in lifo and admits that during his school days ho was more conspicuous in the playground than the class room. He studied surgery at St. Bartholomew's hos- pital, London, serving as assistant fora year to that cminent surgeon, Sir Witliam Lawrence, bart., and passing his final ex- aminations immediately afver he reached his majority. He devoted much of his leisure to the study of his favorite game, and as long ago as 1854 formed the *‘Little School of Whist," the records and notes of which cnabled him to comply in 1862 with Dr. Pole's suggestion that a book giving the best possible play of a series of hands would be of great value to the whist world. The result of that sug- estion was vendish on Whist,” the pub- lication of which introducea Mr. Jones to a literary career that finally led him to resign his surgical practice entirely. Cavendish is a native of London and about 62 years 6f age. He isof a genial disposition and very jocular. His faculties are ex- tremely well balanced, and his mind is de- cidedly of a philosophical turn, with a great capacity for observing, deliberating and drawing rational conclusions. —~— HMam As a Historlan, J. C. Ham, clerk at the Murray hotel, was in a remmiscent mood last night. Mr. Ham is as full of good stories as thoe average man is of sorrow, and when he feels right he can talk anything frem theology to prize fighting. % hesaid to a poor but respectable young man who was leaning agamst the railing and wishing himself in bed, *‘do you know this is the anniversary of the date of tho Emperor Maximilian's execution? No, {;m don’t, probably ; you are quite young yet. ut » “‘Who was the Emperor Maximilian?” in- nocently enquired a St. Louis drummer, who was supposed to be asleep in a rocking chair. Mr. Ham gasped a few times and then de- livered himself m a sort of I-am-your-be- loved-teacher fashion as follows: “Mr. Ferdinand J. Maximilian (his last name, T am rehably informed, was Hops. burg, but he never used it, think- ing it, possibly, somewhat plebeian) was an obliging Austrian gentleman who came over in the summer of '64 to run tho affairs of state in Mexico for a friend of his, Napoleon 111, who was at that time quite busy with his own affairs in France. It was too bad for Napoleon to send him over, for if there is anything a Mexican hates it is being governed. “Now, this Mr. Maximilian was a real zice, companionable sort of chap, always ready to take something or to loan a dis- tressed friend five or ten. In some other countries he would have gotten along first rate. But he had never worked his way up in the emperor business, and had not Fos!nd himself in its details; so, when the boys in the office found that their pay checks could be cashed only at a discount® while Max had pie and a clean shirt every day, they felt hurt, and their relations with he boss became somewhat strained. “‘Max had several pointers from disinter- ested friends, but he was a happy-go-lucky sort of chap, and thought not of the morrow. He was, therefore, much disconcerted when a party of prominent citizens came and shot him one emorning before break- fast. Some historians over that it was before an adobe wall, but all agree that he had not had even a matutinal cock- tail. A couple of Maximilian's chums, Messrs. Miramon and Mexia, were also cheerfully assassinated at the same time and place. “Colonel Juarez, who, 1t was currently re- ported, suggested the action taken by the committee, is said to have felt quite sorry about the matter, and oven wrote a piece for the papers expressing his regret; but inas- much us the colonel had been rousted out of a job by Max's coming, and wanted it bacl, it was folt that he was Justifidd, in the premses, in doing anything. So he took up Max's duties right where the latter left off, even, it is said, taking possession of Max’s pen- wiper and other articles of value with which the Austrian’s lady friends had equipped s desk in the emperor department, “*All of which teaches us that it is not well to do business for other people.” Mr. Ham's way of reciting history was too much, and the newspaper man, gathering his broath with an effort, limped sadly up the street, The St. Louis drummer was satisfied. % —_— Part of a'talk with E dwin Booth, Utica Observ “Did anybody ever tell you you looked like Edgar I, Poe?" I asked. “No,” replied Booth, ‘but the other day, in passing up Broadway, I was attracted by a portrait in a window which I took for mine, but which was Mr, Poe's. Iam a great admirer of him. By the by, do you know that he was a grandson of Benedict Arnold?” “No ‘““Well, he was, or at least he claimed to be. In a conversation between Tom Placide, an old actor, Poe asserted that his mother, whose maiden name was Ar- nold, was the illegitimate daughter of Benedicet.,” “But Mr., Poe was greatly given to ro- maneing about himself,” I explained. “But would a man romance in that way abput himself?" “*Most men would not, but Mr, would.” Poe —— A Rich Min The output of the Huanchaca silver mine in' Bolivia last year was 6,700,000 ounces, a quantity equal to one-ninth of the entire output in the United States. It is one of the largest if not the largest silver mine in the world, The pure silver costs the mine owners 42 cents an ounce. That is, the silver in a United States standard dollar would be worth about 35 cents at the Bolivia mine. Its owners say that they can stand a greater reduction’ yet in the price of the motal as thoy sell it, and are prepaving to enlarge their operations. Charllo Carson Iujured, The enjoyments of the picnicof the Danish Brotherhood at Kauffmau's station ye: terday was marred by an accident which curred about 6 o'clock just as the festivities were drawing to a close. Charles Carson was one of the participants in & wrestling match and during the struggle his right leg was twisted, breaking one of the small bones just below the knee.
