MY PEARLS. •* I have a string ef pearls Untarnished, perfect and fair— Eight—but tha angels oame one day And I placed one ln their core. Beven are left me, priceless gems, Perfect aa any you'll see. And only our Heavenly Father knows How precious they are to me. Three are large ones, folly grown. Then there's an odd one there. It shines between with mischievous gleam. Then three "like eteps in a stair." —Aunt in Minneapolis Housekeeper. A DESPERADO. A company of gentlemen sat in the tffloe of the Hotel Palomares in Pomona Ibe other evening waiting for a lato train to Loa Angeles. Each one of tho party knew every one else, cigars wero freely pnssed around, and all weao en- Joying a talk about early experiences on the frontier, and especially in sonthern California, before railroads wero built In thia region. The best story of the evening was told by Colonel John Wil liamson, one of the most important orange growers in southern California. "Prom 1873 nntil 1878," ho said, "I was engaged by a Chicago lumber company to travel through the oountrj from Denver to St. Louis to look np openings for lumber yarda. It was my business to visit now towns and settle ments, and when I found men of capi tal in thorn to indnoe them to go into the lumber bnsiness and buy of tho Chi cago ooncern. At tbat time Ogalalla, on the TTnion Pacific, railroad, was fa mous throughout the country aa the tonghest place in the west. Then Dodge City, Kan., came into prominence'for its oowboy episodes and the rough, tough and desperate character of a large portion of ita residents. I passed a night in Dodge City in October, 1878, and I assure yon tbat I came quickly to the conclusion that life in any other town would bo tame and without excitement in comparison with the pleasures that place could afford. "On one aide of the railroad track stood a big bamliko building called the Americo-Mexican hotel, and on the oth er a row of 30 or 80 one story frame houses, almost every one of which was a barroom, with a gambling house at tached. Over tho doors hung such signs as 'Cowboys' Rotreat,' 'The Divan' and 'The Frontiersman's Delight.' Behind the town, on top of tho hill, was the city graveyard. An immense crosa stood at the top of the hill and served as a land mark for travelers for miles and milea across tho barren prairies. That gravo yard was the pride of every man who lived in Dodge City. The inhabitants watched it grow and pointed with pleas ure to the fact that there was hardly a man taking his final rest there who had not come to his death by violence. "It was toward afternoon when I halted my horse iv front of the Ameri co-Mexioan hotol after a 40 mile ride. Heavily armed men stood about iv groups. The looks thrown at mo were far from reassuring, but I pretended not to see them and hastened into the ho tel. Hardly had I taken my 6eat in the (lining room whon fonr men, evidently forming a delegation, approached me. They demanded to know what brought mo to Dodge City in a way which loft me no alternative bnt to answer. My answers seemed satisfactory, and one of tbem informed me tho reason of their curiosity. They had some idea tbrtt I was a deputy sheriff and frankly told me that if I had been I should have been escorted out of town, as no gov ernment officers wero wanted about Dodge City that night. They further informed me tbat there was to be one of tho prettiest lynching bees in town that night that had over taken place. "Three men had come to Dodge City 10 week* before and had taken the town by storm. Thoy had made their head quarters At a tavern almost opposite the hotel ana had levied a tax on every one who entered. Anybody who objected to paying or standing treat was beaten, and when resistance was shown pistols wero used. Ten men had received death wonnrls from these three men, and the town had determined to set an example to all such characters by hanging the three without ceremony. It was not easy, however, to accomplish this, as the men were intrenched in the barroom and refused to come out or allow any one to enter. It had been determined to dislodge them that night in spite of all resistance, and I was invited to take part in the affair. The men were named Hank Martin, Jack Willis and Wat Simmons and were desperate outlaws, with largo sums upon their heads. , "Just at dark tho citizens of Dodge City prepared for battle. The attacking parties were divided into two forces. One approached tho point of attack from the rear, while the larger number marched up to the front. All the citi zens wore handkerchiefs over their faces. I was in the main body of attackers, or rnther behind it. We were brought to a sudden halt by a rifle shot from ono of tho windows of the besieged house, and one of our leaders fell. Various means were tried to dislodge the three men, but to no purpose. Evory time the slightest advance was made their rifles rang out, and come ono on our side drop ped. At last a small man slipped up in the shadow of the adjacent building and threw, a lighted can of kerosene under the building. Soon it began to burn. At last it was enveloped in fiames, and the three men were obliged to rush for their lives. They were half blinded by the heat and smoke of the burning building, so they were quickly captured. ' 'Then all the oitizens of Dodge City, not excepting the women and children, formed in line and marched down to the cattle pens, where an old tree stood that had served several times as a gal lows. A rope had been brought along, and it waa quickly thrown over a branch, and everything was ready for the hanging. It was at first intended to dispose of all three at the same time, but there waa not enough rope, so it was decided to hang one at a time. Jack Willis was the first to be strung up. His end was hastened by a dozen bul lets, whioh were fired into the body While it waa still writhing. Wat Sim mons was then disposed of, ' 'Next came the turn of Hank Martin, and all held their breath wben tho boldest desperado known on the plains in those days was brought out. Just aa SQWorfnl fallow was led undo* the tree be mado a aiejn that ho wanted to aay something. The gag was removed from Martin's mouth, and ho said: " 'If you will tako this rope from found my neck and slightly loosen these bonds, I will tell yon men something that will interest you all.' "Thore seemed no danger, with so many on guard, so his request was com plied with. When his fetters were loosened, ho rose, stretohed himself and began his speech: " 'Yon are a set of villains,' he yell ed, 'and you can all go to hell I' "He knocked down the two men nearest to him and made a dash for the sagebrush on the open prairie. All the horses were left outside the barroom when the desperadoes were captured. A few men dashed into the sago after Martin, which made it impossible for the men under tho tree to use their guns, j lout thoy hit somo of the pursuers. After an hour's useless chase the hunt was ! given np for the night "At daylight the next morning a ranchman rode into Dodge City and electrified the town by saying ho had seen Martin near Fort Leary, 16 miles below. Ho said he bad just finished his breakfast when a hatless man, whom ho recognized as Martin, oame in and demanded shelter. The ranchman sus pected something was wrong from the man's manner and at once started for ; Dodgo City and gave the alarm. Thirty men immediately saddled their horses and started in pursuit of tho man they had avowed to hang. As thoy approach ed tho hut a man appeared in tho door with a Winchester rifle in his hand Without a word he opened fire on the advancing parry. Two men dropped from their saddles, and aa the rest of the party put spurs to thoir horses and dashed toward the hut Martin, who had done tho shooting, rushed down the hill and plunged into the Fox river. There had been heavy rains, and the river was a torrent, which made it seem impossi ble that a man couid reach tho other side alive. All tho horsemen drew up along tho bank and waited in readiness to shoot Martin should be by any chance get across. They waited half an hour, and as there was no sight of him they returned to Dodge City. That afternoon the other two desperadoes were buried in what is known as 'Murderers' row,' and beside tho graves was placed a board, 'To the memory of Hank Martin, drowned in the Fox river while escaping capture.' "Two years after leaving Dodge City I chanced to bo in a little Texas town that I don't want to mention here. A man passed mo on the street one day whose face was strikingly familiar. I turned to my companion and asked who it was. " 'That,' said he, 'is Henry Martin, one of our most respected citizens.' "Suddenly tho scone of the lynching at Dcdge City came back to me, and I knew that the last time I had seen that man ho was standing under a tree with a rope around his neck. I told my friend the story, and he evidently doubted my sanity, if not my veracity. He told me that Martin came to tho town early in 1879, when it was first started. He in vested money in town lots and made a fortune. He wss a promoter of schools and churches aud was talked of for the next mayor. That night I was at my hotel when a tall man, with a slouched hat, walked in. He looked round and then oame straight to me. " 'Aro you the man,' he said, 'who bas been telling a yarn about Hank Martin being lynched?' "I acknowlodgod that I was. " 'Well,' he replied, 'Henry told me to tell yon that he would shoot you on sight if you were in town tomorrow.' "Two hours later I was taking a nigbt rido across tho prairies.''—Kansas City Times. THE ELECTION RETURNS. They Malta the Busiest Night of the Year 111 a Newspaper Office. There is one night in every year in every great newspaper office when work is done that is tho least understood of all that goes on in tho making of a daily paper, one night when the highest state of fever attends the excitement aud strain of tho most intense work that falls to the lot of any men, except sol diers in war. That iB election night. That is the night when a few men sit town at 6 o'clock before virgin sheets of paper, with the knowledge that be fore 3 o'clock the next morning they must cover those sheets with the elec tion returns of a nation, digesting mountains of figures and apprising the publio of the results in the most con densed forms, weeks in advance of the official announcements, as sparks might be counted while they fly from the shapeless iron on a blacksmith's anvil. And these calculations must stand the test of comparison with those whioh the rival newspapers, working without col laboration, as eager competitors, will publish at the same moment. The eleotion figures come in driblets and atoms and must be put together as tbe Florentines make their mosaics. Some of it, we shall see, is plucked from the very air—as a magician seems to collect coins in a borrowed hat—be gotten of reasoning, but put down be side the gennine returns with equal con fidence and almost accuracy. Ah, but tbat is a work to try cool heads and strong nerves. I am quite cer tain no other men in the world include such a night of tension and excitement, periodically, as a fixed part of a work aday existence. No other men, regularly once a year, feel themselves so truly in the focus of an intense publio interest, manifesting itself in so many ways.— Soribner's. Diamonds In Ihe Meteors. Professor Berthelot has pointed out that in the writings of Avicenna there la mention of a metal lio aerolite whioh fell in Djorjan, in central Asia, in the eleventh century which could neither be broken nor worked up into arms or tools. One of the blocks of native iron found at Ovijak, in Greenland, in 1870, is so hard that it can neither be scratch ed nor cut, and Professor Nordenokjold suggests that this may be due to the presence of black diamonds disseminated through the iron.

[The Herald under this heading prints con muulcatluas, out does uot asiume responsi bility for tha noutlui. uts expressed]. Oovarnmant Ownarahlp or Hallway*. Editor Herald:—l notice an editor ial In thia morning's Herald giving tba earnings of the railroads in New Zeal and, which are) owned and operated by h) government, ahowing a large profit to the government, and from the fact of tbe government tbere making money out of their roada, yon advocate that (ao I infer) private individuals eoold build and operate a little road of 200 milea Irom bare to San Joaquin at a profit to themselves and tbia city. If auoh ia tha case, will yon explain to me why your natioual government can not own and operate all oi the lailroada in the United Statea, at a profit to the national government, which ia tbo American people? I bave lived many yeara in Aackland, New Zealand, and know lull well that the government almost lmpoveriabed tbe oolony by building railroada and other government improvements, which in thia country are private but gigantic monopolise, for the advancement and settling np of the colony. I also know that in the laat tbree yeara New Zealand baa been recovering herself, and ia today tbe moat prosperous colony in Austra lasia, which everyone livieg there thinks ia due to ber railroad system and other public necessities, which are owned and operated there by the government, and whioh, in tbia oonntry, are owned by a lew individuals in the shape of corpora tions. Would you kindly Inform me why the rT«:._.j t't.i.. . . t- - uwiva aovatuujvui, cauuub close the mortgage on a certain trana continetal railroad, own the road itaelf, operate it itself for the benefit of iraelf, whioh ia the American people, via, by the unemployed aa well aa the monopo list? I have only been in yonr oonntry two years, bat long enough to know that there ia a tranacontinental railroad which your government bnilt. or rather advanced money, etc, enough to build it and another road half way across tbe continent. The mortgage on the rail road ia coming due shortly. Kindly ex plain to me why you (the United Statea national government) oannot forecloae aaid mortgage, own and operate tbe road by and for tbe government, which ia by and for tbe people, if tbey can own and operate their reada in New Zealand at a profit, aa you claim they do in tbis morning's issue of your paper, and aa I know they do, aa well aa in Victoria and New South Walea? If tbe New Zealand government can build and operate ber railroada at a profit, and yon advocate from tbat that a private corporation can build and op erate to their own and thia city's finan cial advantage a 200-mile road, I cannot ccc why yonr national government can not cloaa tbia mortgage (whicb they will never receive anything from, anyhow), own and operate the road and reap the benefit of tha profits accruing from tbe tame. Of oourse, I being from the benighted oolony of New Zealand (aa tbe average citizen of tbe United Statea looka upon it) mat not know all of the internal workinga of your national government, bnt if it is not from "standing in" with tbe pro feasional politician and tbe monopolist, I cannot ace why your form of govern msnt could not o. ii and operate your railroada and several otber public ne cessities, whiob are controlled and ope rated by corporations, to greater advan tage than in Australia and several of tbe countries of Europe. Hoping you will publish and anawer tbia, I am a oontant reader and sub scriber ol the Herald. New Zkalandkr. Of Interest to the Philanthropic.

He Couldn't Be Expelled From a No Work Clnb For Obvious Reasons, Bailey Dawson was in danger of be ing expelled from tho Society of Chris tian Bepoee. The object of the society, as its namo indicates, is to discourage endeavor of any character, and its mem bers, who comprise such well known old residents as Colonel A. M. Babcock, A. N. Kellogg, founder of the newspa per publishing concern; Frank Parmc lee of the bus line, and others, are men Who think they have done their work in life and now only ask for rest. They meet at the Grand Pacific hotel and do not even talk much, preferring to sit in the easy chairs in the rotunda and look at eaoh other. But last week Colonel Babcock brought a serious charge against Bailoy. He said he had gono to work; what is more, he had tbe evidence to prove it Things looked really badly for Bai ley. The work was no harder than that involved in drawing tho pay attached to a political office, but it was work, and ho could not deny it. So he took refuge in technicalities. Mr. Kellogg was trying the case, and to him Bailey mado this plea: "If it pleases the court," he said, "the members of this society must not do any work of any kind?" "They must not," replied Colonel Babcock sternly. "They should not indulge in any kind of effort?" "Certainly not," again interjected the colonel. "They cannot consistently take action of any description?" "They assuredly cannot" "Then," said Bailey triumphantly, "I would like to know how they are going to expel a member; that means action." And President Kellogg sus tained him, holding that it would bo impossible constitutionally to oven take a vote on the charges. —Chicago Trib une. MONOCLES IN EUROPE. Their Use Believed to Have Originated In the British Army. In every capital of Europe the mono cle is common enough. It attracts no attention on the street In a row of mon at the theater a considerable proportion are suro to have it. Perhaps half the officers in the German army wear mono cles. They are to bo seen in abundance at any meeting of the French academy. Even socialist deputies in France are not ashamed to go among their constit uents wearing them. A session of tho English house of commons glitters with solitary eyeglasses. Tho single eyeglass is said to havo originated among the officers of the British army. About tho beginning of the century an order was issued that army officers should not wear eyeglasses or specta cles. It was supposed that they gave tho wearers an unmilitary appearance. The order caused severe inconvenience to many short sighted officers, and one of them, belonging to a crack regiment, invented tho single eyeglass. He claimed that, being an eyoglass, its use was no contravention of the order which prohibited spectacles and eyeglasses. It soon became very popular in the army and was afterward adopted. On account probably of this origin the single eye glass is-v£ry generally worn in Europe by army officers. It is by some thought to give an as pect of determination and ferocity to the wearer, whereas eyeglasses lend an air of feeblenesa—New York World Lincoln's Views on Assassination. That night as we walked back to tho White Honse through the grounds be tween the war department buildings and tbe house I fancied that I saw in the misty moonlight a man dodging be hind ono of tho trees. My heart for a moment stood still, but as we passed in safety I came to the conclusion that the dodging figure was a creature of the imagination. Nevertheless as I parted from the president at the door of the White Honse I could not help saying tbat I thought his going to and fro in the darkness of tbe night, as it was usually his custom, often alone and un attended, was dangerous recklessness. That night, in deference to his wife's anxious appeal, ho had provided him self with a thick oaken stick. Ho laugh ed as he showod me this slight weapon and said, but with some seriousness: "I long ago made np my mind that if any body wants to kill me he will do it. If I woro a shirt of mail and kopt myself surrounded by a bodyguard, it would be all the same. There are a thousand ways of getting at a man if it is de sired tbat he should he killed.

In Cambridge, on Sunday evening there wa3 an experimental tnst of the great 40 inch teloscopo now being made for tho T7uiver?ity of Chicago by Pro fessor G. E. Hale, tho astronomer, un der who.-o directorship tho new Yerkcs observatory of tho University of Chi oago will enter upon it 3 career; a friend of his, a rising young physicist last connected with tho Massachusetts in stitute of technology; Mr. Clark and his nssistants. The great lenses, tho largest tbat tho world has ever seen, each of them equal in diameter very nearly to an ordinary buggy wheel, weighing with their mountings more than 1,200 pounds, wero maintained iv their posi tion high iv air by a groat steel tube, 03 foet in length, and seeming in the dimness of tho night almost intermina ble. The ponderous tube is poised mid way upon a great shaft, which permits free motion in every direction, and this again is perched upen a massive pier of masonry capable of upholding in safety tbo tons of weight which it is called npon to bear. Mounting tho stepladder whicb serv ed as a temporary observing chair, Pro fessor Halo placed his critical eye at tho tnbo, and then in deliberate succes sion applied tho different tests known to astrouomors. To tho uneducated eyo the glass on this preliminary test was truly at perfection, but the trained eyes of the experts caught points at times whereby tlio delicacy of tho instrument might bo increased. Then the planet Mars canio within range of the instru ment. Tho first view of this object by Pro fessor Halo brought forth exclamations of delight, for this telescope by far ex ceeded in light collecting ability any instrument which he had previously turned upon the planet. Mars showed itself as a great reddish yellow disk, whose clean cut edges attested tho ex cellence of tho instrument. Its bright ness with 40 inches of aperture was al most sufficient to blind the eye, and its great disk was figured with the dark and light markings which define its to pography. For an hour or moro the plan et was kept in view, delighting every ono of tho assembled group with the splendor of the sight. Then began a search for the satellites. These are faint stars, visible at their best only with good apertures, and so clo3o to the planot as to be hardly beyond the glare of light which it diffuses. Tho outer one, Deimos, was easily caught, but for somo time Phobos, its companion, could not bo discerned. It was nt last seen by Mr. Clark almost against the body of its principal, and for nearly half an hour it was followed by the dif ferent members of tho company. The lenses, excellent as they have proved to be, will again be placed in the shop, and with the knowledge gain ed of their minor inaccuracies of figure they will again undergo local treatment until they reach that high standard which has placed the Clark glasses al ways in tho vr,»a*a point of interesting astronomical discovery.—Boston Tran- The Parson's Reunite.
