MISSING CASH. A Recount of Silver Dollars in the United States Treasury Shows a Shortage. WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.—A recount of the treasury cash, which was completed late this afternoon, disclosed a shortage of $859. The recount, made necessary by the appointment in June last of Ellis H. Roberts as United States Treasurer, in place of H. N. Morgan, was begun on July 1, and since that time about $797,000,000 in cash has been counted. No errors or shortage of importance were discovered until the Treasury Committee had begun work in silver vault No. 1, in which there were 103,653,000 standard dollars. A colored man named Martin, employed as a laborer, was one day discovered in the coal and wood basement under suspicious circumstances, and a search resulted in the finding of a number of silver dollars, which, presumably he had abstracted from some of the bags. Martin was arrested and made a confession, admitted that he had taken $28, for which he had substituted lead. The court imposed a fine of $50 and Martin was released. This admission cast suspicion upon the entire contents of the vault and a count by handling each individual piece was ordered. On September 10 twenty-eight expert counters and a force of laborers and verifiers, under the direction of G. C. Bance, assistant cashier, began the work of counting the contents of this vault. The time employed therefore was nearly five months, the counters working eight hours each day. The shortage of $859 will be made good by Mr. Morgan, the retiring treasurer. It is probable, however, as has been done in similar cases, that Congress will make an appropriation in Mr. Morgan's favor, covering the amount. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The State Department has been notified by Ambassador White at Berlin of the modification of the original decree issued by the Prussian Minister of Finance, Dr. Miquel, prohibiting the importation of American fruit. According to the American Ambassador's cable to-day, the decree does not, as he advised yesterday, apply to dried fruits, while fresh fruit will be admitted to entry if an examination shows its condition to be satisfactory. If this modification has been made in the decree, it would appear that the prompt representations made by the United States have received an equally Cave Up Hope Feared Her Little Boy Could Not Recover But Hood's Sarsaparilla Made Him Well and Strong. "My little boy was taken with inflammatory rheumatism when he was two years old. Some one had to sit up with him every night. At one time we thought he could not live from day to day. He had a heart trouble caused by the rheumatism. I had about given up all hope of his recovery, but I got a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Before he had taken half the contents he began to improve.

According to the American Ambassador's cable to-day, the decree does not, as he advised yesterday, apply to dried fruits, while fresh fruit will be admitted to entry if an examination shows its condition to be satisfactory. If this modification has been made in the decree, it would appear that the prompt representations made by the United States have received an equally prompt consideration on the other side. It is certain that if the decree, as originally promulgated, had been applied to shipments of fruits in transit, as its terms indicated, the shippers would have had a right to claim indemnity from the Prussian government for the damages sustained by them and it would be regarded by the United States government as a matter of duty to sustain this demand for indemnity. The State department is now obliged to await the receipt of full advices of the exact nature of the modified decree and watch its workings. Ambassador White last evening lodged another formal protest with Baron von Bulow, as in spite of the Bundesrath's resolution, American fresh fruit is every where excluded. The United States Consul at Dusseldorf telegraphed to-day that only dried fruits had been released, and that there were about eleven thousand barrels of apples in the bonded warehouse there. The United States Embassy, during the week, has been flooded with appeals from fruit merchants, dealers and shippers who have been injured by the decree, and all of them have thanked Mr. White for the vigorous measures he has adopted. It appears that Dr. Miquel and Baron von Hammerstein-Loxten issued the decree without the authority of the Prussian Cabinet or the Bundesrath. A dispatch from Aberdeen, S. D., says: "John Patterson of Minneapolis, who is well known throughout the Northwest, is working quietly, but persistently, upon a scheme to take 100,000 men to Cuba and land them there on the Fourth of July. He says he is backed by a syndicate of Americans who have large landed interests in the island, and claims these Americans are anxious to cut up their large holdings and dispose of small plantations to able-bodied men. They require no cash down, and all the money the intending purchaser needs is enough to pay his expenses to Cuba, which, as Patterson says, will be nominal. He says there will be enough steamers at New Orleans July 4 to carry the 100,000 excursionists to Havana and other ports on the island where they can land. The company guarantees protection from Spanish interference from New Orleans to Cuba, and when the men arrive they will be such a formidable body that Spain will not dare intervene with the peaceful pursuits that the immigrants intend to follow. If an attempt should be made to interfere the men will be instructed to arm themselves and protect their rights. The company's agent claims that a vast amount of money has been lost by American property owners over there by the Spaniards not allowing them to work their plantations. They intend to place a man on every few acres, and if he stands up for his rights and works the property he will become absolute owner of his plantation in a few years.

TWO SANTA ANA BOYS. From the Herald. An amusing story is told in connection with the experience of two young men of this city, Lawrence Ross and John English, who left their homes recently without parental leave to acquire some inside pointers on sporting life in the Angel City. The boys took with them a horse and buggy and a long lanky dog—and thereunto appended is the tale. Hearing of the coursing tournament in progress in the city, and knowing that their hound was something of a sprinter himself, they appreciated the opportunity offered for gaining recognition in sporting circles. Accordingly they went out to the coursing grounds and succeeded in having the dog entered in one of the events. When the start was announced a long procession of high-geared, well-groomed hounds were led to the line wearing fancy blankets and showing evidence of careful training. The Santa Ana dog looked decidedly seedy with no blanket at all to cover his ruffled coat, but he was every inch a greyhound. For some reason—perhaps because he was overawed by the pomp of his aristocratic company—the did not get started when the pack was released, and the other dogs were fifty yards away before he sniffed rabbit in the air. When he did, however, he lost no time in getting himself under headway. He overhailed the whole bunch in a twinkling and soon had them "tin-canning" him across the field. It took him but a few minutes to catch the rabbit and the assemblage of sports and dog-fanciers began to realize that the country dog was a "ringer." About the time he caught the first rabbit two more escaped and he captured both of them before they could be gotten back into the pen. The boys were offered a fancy price for their hound after his performance, but they refused to part with him. The dog afterward tired of city life and came home, but the young men have not yet returned. CASTORIA For Infants and Children. Evaporated Vegetables. A dispatch from Tacoma says: Evaporated onions are precious. Every Klondike wants five or ten pounds for his outfit, but the supply is running very low and the price has risen to 50 cents a pound. Green onions are scarcely obtained at any price in Washington or Oregon. All that can be secured in Idaho and Montana are being shipped to supply the Puget Sound evaporators. Outfitters have announced that they will not sell a pound of onions except to men purchasing whole outfits from them. Tacoma firms have cabled to Germany for a sample of 500 pounds of evaporated onions. If they are satisfactory several tons will be cabled for Fifteen vegetable evaporation business in those days.

The company guarantees to furnish the settlers with machinery and arm them if it becomes necessary. Patterson says he has been very successful in securing men.” There is strong reason to believe the counterfeit $100 silver certificates recently discovered were made in Canada. Secret service agents, aided by Canadian police, are now searching through that region, their efforts being principally directed to the province of Quebec. Extraordinary pains are being taken to trace all paper of the kind on which Canadian notes are being printed, with the idea that it may have been from this source that the paper used by the counterfeiters was obtained. Great care is taken in Canada, as here, to prevent any of this paper being obtained by outside persons, but it is understood that defects have been discovered in the Canadian offices whereby the paper might have been stolen. At the bureau of engraving every sheet of paper is numbered, and must be rigidly accounted for. Nothing will be given out by the secret service bureau of the Treasury Department, but it is known that the expenses of the investigation now being made in Canada are large and more money is needed. On this account Secretary Gage sent a letter to the House Committee on Appropriations asking that the appropriation for the detection of counterfeits be increased from $75,000 to $100,000. He gave as his reason the great expense of the $100 certificate work, and added that it would be necessary to carry the search into a foreign country. He asked that $25,000 of the amount granted be made immediately available. A dispatch from Washington says that secret negotiations are now actually in progress between the state department and the insurgents in Cuba, looking to a stoppage of the war on some financial basis, to be agreed upon hereafter. These negotiations have gone side by side with the gradual massing of the ships of the North Atlantic squadron within striking distance of Cuba. Orders to the cruiser Montgomery to sail at once for the harbor of Matanza have been issued, and the ship is likely to be there quite as unexpectedly as the Maine arrived at Havans.

Fifteen vegetable evaporators are at work on the Puget Sound. Together they are turning out daily ten tons of evaporated potatoes, carrots, soup mixtures, squash, pumpkin and parsnips. Two vegetable evaporators are running to their full capacity at Watsonville, Santa Cruz county, and those in Santa Clara county are rushing things almost day and night and are far behind orders. One vegetable drier in the last mentioned county alone, has worked up something like 200 tons of green onions since December 1. Prior to that date it has evaporated 300 tons of potatoes besides other vegetables such as squash, pumpkins and carrots. The price of onions in the Santa Clara valley has steadily risen through the fall and winter and was recently quoted. Woman’s Ills are as often caused by kidney disease as by affections of the womb.

THE YANKEE DRUMMER'S STRAIGHT TALK ABOUT EUROPE. Information About London, Paris and Germany From a Big, Red Haired Man—He Says He Kept His Eyes Open—Do You Think He Did? "Greater New York is going to be bigger than London," remarked the little man in the cross seat with an air of wisdom. "No, siree, it isn't!" said the big red haired man who sat alongside of him as he dusted an invisible speck from his new coat. "It won't be a marker to London. I've been there." "What—to London?" "Sure, I have. It was three years ago, and I know what I'm talking about Now, it's a strange fact that there are some fellows in our business that'll travel all around and never see anything. I always keep my eyes open in strange towna. It gives a man things to talk about and it broadens him." The little man began to eye his companion with new interest. He pondered his sage words for a minute and said: "How'd it happen?" Why, it came about just after I left you at St. Louis. I returned to New York and brought back with me $60,000 worth of orders. That pleased the firm, I can tell you, for no one was doing any business in those days. Our foreign buyer was ill and as I was pretty well posted on what the trade wanted the firm said to me: "Here, Jones, you go over to the continent and do our buying this winter." Did I go? Well, does a duck swim? "Where did you go?" asked the little man. "London, Paris and Germ'ny." "Say, what kind of a town is London anyway? I've always wanted to know." Well, I'll tell you on the level. It's a bum, two for a cent place. It's no good, and that's straight. I've been there. Don't you let anybody fool you about it.

A Victim of Nervous Prostration and Neuralgia, Saved After Her Physician Abandoned Hope. From the Republican, Columbus, Ind. Whiles in the neighborhood of Rugby, Indiana, recently, a reporter was told that Miss Clara Hopkins, daughter of Mr. Dennis Hopkins, a prominent farmer of Bartholomew County, had been the subject of a remarkable transformation. The reporter decided to investigate and learn the particulars. He was driven to Mr. Hopkins' splendid country home, where he had an interesting conversation with that gentleman regarding the illness of his only daughter. "You have correctly informed," said Mr. Hopkins, "for Clara has indeed had a severe slege. She tried Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People and they did her more good than all other medicines together that she ever took. A few boxes of that medicine accomplished the cure of a case in a few months which had baffled physicians for years. "About three years ago her health began to fall. The doctor who attended her said this was caused by weak digestion. This produced nervousness, which was accompanied by neuralgic troubles, which at first was located in the nerves about the heart. Of course this was a dangerous location for any such trouble, and she rapidly grew worse, notwithstanding that the physician was treating her. This continued till a year ago last November, at which time she was almost constantly confined to her bed. "The neuralgia became gradually worse, and finally she was a confirmed victim to it." Nervous prostration set in, and she was soon all run down. Her blood was impure A Great Natural Curiosity.

The little man's face brightened up, evidently from the delight of getting authoritative statements first hand, and with the air of a man who wanted to improve each shining hour and add to his stock of knowledge, he said: "Tell me about London. Is it anything like New York?" Not a bit. I know all about the town. It’s 25 years behind the times, it's like New York was before the war.

There isn't a building in the whole town worth seeing, and if there was you couldn't see it half the time. It's a dirty, foggy place and not fit to live in. It's an old apple woman of a town.

Did you take your wife with you to Paris? No; she staid in New York because I was going on business. I can tell you all about Paris, and you can rely on it, for I’ve been there.

A perfect face of a delicate Jewish cast was discovered in a small stone about as large around as a 10 cent piece found lying on the railroad grade near Junction City, Ore. Not only are the brow, hair, beard and beautiful aquiline nose perfectly shaped and distinct on the stone, but the neck and shoulders are vignetted off into the delicate agate like tracery of the background as it would have been done by an artist. Not only is the face as delicately beaten in line as one stamped upon a Greek coin of the reign of Alexander, but in this stone are reproduced the colors of life. The face is white, with a blending of flesh tones, growing deeper in the shadows of the neck and shoulders. The hair in the dark shadow at the back is a rich auburn, just the color associated most often with the ascietic Jewish type to which the whole face belongs. It is perhaps the strangest part of this extraordinary coincidence of forms that each feature, from the cavernous eye and delicate hollowed cheek to the high, narrow brow and wavy auburn hair, is in accord with a familiar type of the Christ. In this respect the Oregon stone is infinitely superior as a work of nature’s art to the “Stone Man of Sorrows,” about which a book was published in London. This head, in a stone a little larger than the recent discovery, was picked up at Oberammergau as a mere casual memo of the spot, because of its associations with the passion play, and eight years afterward, being held in a certain position, was seen to reveal the face that was somewhat sentimentally supposed to resemble the face of Christ—Boston Transcript. If Water Never Froze. The whole economy of nature would undergo a startling change if water never froze. The world’s climates would be revolutionized. The icebound polar seas would cease to exercise their chilling influences, and consequently the currents of the ocean might either cease or be turned aside in different directions. Thus the gulf stream would seek other shores than those of Britain, and the climate there might be subject to the extremes of heat and cold noticeable in other countries of the same latitude. The icebound rivers of the north, notably those of Russia and Siberia, would be open for navigation, and Russia’s activity as a sea power and a commercial nation might alter the whole world of commerce. Canada would become another country altogether. An insimene tract of land would be available for cultivating hardy plants, and Greenland might be what its name indicates. The absence of icebergs off the coasts of Newfoundland and Iceland would result in a much warmer climate in those islands, where now the crops often fail. Ice, too, plays an important part in the economy of nature. Thus, if water never froze, snow, hail and hoar frost would cease. The loosening of soils and the disintegration of rocks by the frost and many other now vital effects would be lost. In short, the absence of ice would be on the one hand an incalculable disaster, on the other hand a great boon—London Globe. springtime, when they would be located down stream to the arills. In some places the system is still in vogue, but in large measure all this has been changed. Logging railroads have been built into the forests, enabling the owners of pine lands to reach forests far from any stream. Spurs from the main branch of the road are built out like the fingers on an enormous hand clutching at the defenseless pines. After a tortuous passage through the paths of the woods the log is loaded upon the skid-way—an incline leading down to the railway track. The skids are long, tough poles of tamarack or some hard wood, placed about 20 feet apart. The logs easily roll down on these skids and are drawn by horses up on the short, wide freight cars, and as fast as one car is loaded another takes its place, until a train of perhaps 30 cars is made up. The road is a very rough one, and the trains are supplied with the best of airbrakes, for the grades are steep, and great care must be exercised or the trains will break in two and disaster and possibly loss of life will follow if a part of one of the trains breaks away and starts down the grade.

There were four of us in the party, and when we started out we hired an interpreter. When we'd taken about two of them French drinks—cognacks they call em, sort of brandies they are—we gave the interpreter the grand bounce and we didn't see him again. Three of those cognacks will make you talk French like a native Fact, because I tried it. Four of them will make you feel as if you had taken a $10,000 order for goods that the firm wanted to get rid of." "Did you see any interesting buildings or places?" "Saw the whole outfit, and it's no great shakes. The Paris boulevards are pretty fine, though." The little man looked disappointed at his friend's meagerness of detail. Then he remembered Germany, and he asked his friend what he had seen there. "Now you are getting right into my stamping ground," said the big man. "Germany beats them all. I went to Berlin, and say, I bought a line of satins there that netted the firm $70,000. Now, what do you think of that? Was not that a good stroke?" Oh, I tell you Germany is my stamping ground! "What interested you there?" "Why, I saw everything, and how the Germans drink beer! If I hadn't been afraid that those satinets would go out of fashion, I'd have made a bigger stroke on them. Now, don't you let any one fool you about those places Just come to me and I'll put you straight I tell you I believe in traveling with my eyes open. What's the good of traveling if you don't learn something? I'll be out on the road in a month, and perhaps I'll run across you. Here's my station Goodby, old man." New York Sun Orphans.

Time was when the logs were drawn over roads of snow and ice on the great rude sledges to the banks of some river, drawn out on the ice and left until the plants, and Greenland might be what its name indicates. The absence of icebergs off the coasts of Newfoundland and Iceland would result in a much warmer climate in those islands, where now the crops often fail. Ice too plays an important part in the economy of nature. Thns, if water never froze, snow, hail and hoar frost would cease. The loosening of soils and the disintegration of rocks by the frost and many other now vital effects would be lost. In short, the absence of ice would be on the one hand an incalculable disaster, on the other hand a great boon.—London Globe. Fannie's Triumph. Dainty little Fannie Grayson clapped her hands in ecstasy and danced and sang as if she had been enchanted. Then she ran to her sister Lillian and hugged her and said: "Oh, I'm so happy!" "What's happened?" Lillian asked. "Why, didn't you see Tom Taddington when he went away just now?" Fannie replied. "Yes, what of him?" "He asked me to be his wife. Oh, Lil, just feel how my heart flutters." Lillian Grayson was tall and willowy, and she had a good sized muscle. Holding her sweet, tender sister off at arm's length, she exclaimed: "Well, I don't see why you should go crazy over that. You surely didn't accept? Remember that we come of an old family. Our grandfather made enough money in the logging business to be able to retire when he was 47 years old, while Tom Taddington's mother had to teach school for a living until she got married. There is a social gulf between our families that never can be bridged." "Oh, bother your gulfs and bridges," cried Fannie. "I told Tom that I could not think of being his wife, and he started away swearing that he would either kill himself or propose to Clara Coulton Think of it! If he kills himself for love of me, all the papers want my picture and print columns and columns about it, or if he goes and marries Clara see what fun it'll be to tell the other girls how I drove him to it. Oh, I wish I were a man for about half an hour If I were I'd celebrate by going out and smoking the biggest and strongest cigar I could get hold of."—Cleveland Leader Logging Railroads.

An American who had left his native country to travel in Europe with the maxima. "When in Rome do as the Romans do." well in mind, found himself in Marseilles. He wanted some ice cream and went into a restaurant and ordered it. "What flavor will you have?" asked the waiter. The American hesitated a moment and then remembered his maxim. "Oh, garlic," I suppose," he answered. —Youth's Companion. Rapid Change. "My hair turned from raven black to snowy white in a single night." "That's nothing I went into a pawnbroker's shop once and stayed only 15 minutes. When I came out, my watch had turned from gold to silver." —London Tit-Bits. At Wholesale. "This is the room where you issue licenses, ain't it?" inquired the young man, after taking a leisurely survey of the apartment. "Yes," replied the deputy county clerk. "What can I do for you?" The caller pushed his hat back on his head, winked and beckoned him nearer. "It's like this," he said, in a lower tone. SEE THAT THE FAC-SIMILE SIGNATURE OF CHARLES FLUTTER.
