NOT HER HUSBAND.
Aibert Jaqua Refutes His Former
Wife s Story of Desertion.
About ten days ago Mrs. Albert
Jaqua arrived here from Virginia
f ity, Nevada, and announced that
she was searching for her husband,
who deserted her and a young babe
about two months ago.
She was without means and the
story she told of her cruel desertion
enlisted the sympathy of a number
nf citizens. Her statements were
published in the Examiner, a copy of,
which reached the husband, who is a
postal clerk on the Carson & Colorado
railroad.
He arrived in this city yesterday
for the purpose of denying the. story
of Mrs. Jaqua, He says that she de
serted him on May 10, 1892, and on
August 10, 1892, he paid her $200 to
settle all her demands for alimony.
That on October21, 1892, she secured
a. divorce from him at Virginia City.
He produced a coppy of the receipt
mentioned and says he has a copy of
the decree of the divorce.
He says his former wife has not
seen him since August 19, 1892, but
she has known where he could be
found. She has no claim upou him,
he asserts, and is circulating charges
about him to injure him with the
postal department.—[S. F. Examiner.
A Homs Thrust.
Mr. Francis G. Newlands, in a let
ter to the New York Sun, charges
the late panic to the incendiary utter
wees of the New York World, Herald,
rimes and Post during all the earlier
nonths of 1898. They were aided
ind abetted by the bankers and by
the administration. Mr. Newlands
joints to the files of the papers for a
joufirmation of his statements and
says he predicted a panic would be !
-lie result of such crazy talk. This i
.vild outcry was directed against the j
sherman law and the editors of the'
japers mentioned took no thought of [
,he possible consequences to the, j
vhole country but only aimed to se
■ure the repeal of the silver law.
3ut their own predictions of disaster j
icared the country and brought on a
janic which never would have hap
jened but for the sensation mongers. I
Lost His Arm.
A Piute, known as George shot ^
limself in the right arm last week
visile hunting near Coryville. It |
seems that lie pulled the gun, muzzle 1
irst, through a sagebrush, when the (
rigger caught in a twig and flic
oad entered his arm. He was j
miught to town and his son urnpu
,ated the arm below the shoulder. ^
Phe arm was badly mortified and it
s doubtful if the injured man will re
■over. ,

The Silver Question.
Has been “ the bone of contention"
’or a long time, but how few there
rre who understand it, or who know :
anything about how or where the
diver itself is obtained, or how
t is handled before it is made into
noney! To those, indeed to every-1
me, tin' excellent article on "Silver, !
’rom Mine to Mint." handsomely il
ustratcd, which is published in Dein-'
west's Family Magazine for October,
vill be especially interesting as well ,
is instructive. Another article,
"The Silver Secret." gives in a fa-1
niliar and easily comprehended style
ill the important points about the :
•exed Silver Question, and the story
‘In the 'Thread'" tells one of those
onuuitic incidents in the experience
if an owner of a silver mine that
com too wonderful to be true, yet
lappen more frequently than they
ire recorded.

A PLEA FOR THE PEOPLE.
Judge Goodwin’s Open Letter to
President Cleveland.
The Washington Post last week
published the following open letter,
which is causing much comment.
Mr. President:-Upou your home
within the past week a benediction
has descended. The anxiety and
anguish have been followed by a
peace and happiness which no words
can portray. The greatest of bless
tags has come down to you. and the
>v is doubly sanctified bv the knowl
edge that all the millions of your
> ouutrviuen shared your anxiety and
rejoice in your joy.
Surely if any man should be exult
ant and at the same time, humble in
thankfulness, it should he you. It
any man should, in all the depart
ments of his nature, desire t,o express
his gratitud > to his countrymen, for
the generous sympathy they have
gi\ i'n you and yours, it should be
your Excellency.
Over a million other homes in this
‘and the same anxiety is brooding
that brooded over yours a week ago,
but added to it there is in each of
those homes a fear for the future and
for the expected guest which never
haunted you. The people, the great
working hosts of the land, are very
poor. The great middle class, they
who have little capital but their la
bor, and by the work they are abh
to give to ethers poorer than them
selves, cause th<' harvest to ripen,
the wheat, to gold aud the cotton to
snow, have made no money for ten
years except in the one year when a
famine across the sea gave the far
mers, despite the methods at home,
a profitable foreign market for food.
If they were in debt ten years ago,
they are more in debt now, and they
do not know which way to turn.
While the millions of people iu the
land have been swelling and doubl
ing. they have seen a steady decline
in the values of their products, aud
in the land which they till.
WHAT THE PROPER THINK,
They think this is monstrous in a
great free land like this. They as
cribe it to but one cause, and the in
stiuets of a great people are never
wrong.
After discussing the cause, of ties
financial trouble and nointing out,
that the national banks have been
tlm Presidents chief advisors, the
Judge continues:
You may say: “The people and
the press demand it." Send for the
members of Congress. Mr. President,
who voted for repeal in the House,
and ask them what response the real
people are. making, judgiug by their
letters. Let me predict tile answer. 1
Outside of th" extreme East it will j
bn “All save a few bankers deplore
our work.”
As for the press, when untram
meled its power is as benign as it is
illimitable. When its policy is dic
tated from the business office it loses
its prerogative of an impartial judge
and descends to the place of the paid
advocate. The management deals
with the banks just now. The editor
is degraded and merely echoes the
stupidity of the. counting-room.
KuiimxH a aisiNo tide.
Mr. President, you are lighting aj
rising tide on the present lines. If j
continued, six mouths hence you will <
have no party and the love which the
country wants to give you will be!
frozen to death. When the battle
goes against a great general, he or
ders a halt and reforms his lines, i j
am not in the confidence and do not j
personally know your close advisers. I
but, judging by their words spoken j
in the past, neither the Secretary of
the Treasury nor your leader in the
Senate believes in your present pol
icy. They ding to you, hoping event
ually to save you, their party und
the country from going over the
precipice before them, but their j
hearts are filled with fear. Call them I
to you Mr. President, and with them j
the men who have carried the banner j
“full high advanced” of D an.»eracy I
so long, and, if they so advise sub-!
stitute the Sherman law by a law j
which shall be just to the producing ■
hosts of this country, who now stand
in the shadow of despair. Make the
workers prosperous and our foreign
credit will take care of itself.
The mistakes of ordinary men are
soon buried in oblivion. If you make
mistakes no such cloak will be mer
cifully drawn over your memory.
Because of your place, your acts for
all time to come " will be the concern
of posterity. " Do not make any mis
takes. Go and look upon your new
born babe and reflect that just as
warm a love as is given your child
encompasses a million other children,
hut that love is darkened by a fear

arrogated in the columns of the daily press
by the proprietors of medicines far inferior
to II as specifics, has in a thousand in

its obsurdity. and the prospects of other

!>l«*:iNiironi<*iits of Si hmtl Children to He
Taken for .Helentlllr !'urj>o i"«.
Superintendent rowel k of the Wn V
ington public schools, and l>r. Harris,
of the bureau of education, wish to
find, by uctuul o\pi rk?nce, whether or
not there cut\ be i**t,d»li: 1; • l any cer
tain relation between tin* physical nml
mental development of tin* ehil r n i t
the various grades, and for t.ii« pur
pose there will be taken a series of
measurements of about twenty thou
sand of the school children, under the
supervision of the director of physical
training. Miss Stoneroud, the teacher,
has made a study of the systems of
physical measurement in use in the
gymnasiums and schools throughout
the l nited Mates and Germany, be
sides having dono a good deal of ex
perimental work in the same line, and
the results of her experiments will he
embodied in tin* series of measure
ments to he taken in the public schools
i of Washington, which will include the
height, weight, chest, measurement
and some cranial measurements, In
sides a series of experiments as to
nervous sen: ibility. These hist con
sist principally in a eertniniug at what
distance apart the child is able to di
tinguish between the points of a pair
of calipers touching the wrists, Yin*
results in this experiment arc re gar led
by t'n* I’m t :m interesting, s.»*n * «n t he
subjects being able to distinguish be
tween points a very small fraction of
an inch apart, while others require a
dist a net* of more than two inches be
fore they cun tell without looking
whether otn-point or two i . touching
their wrist. When the result, of these
measurements are tabulated it will be
easily seen whether there is any def
inite relation between the physical
and mental development of the pupil .
and if this relation is satisfactorily es
tablished it will be used to advantage
in guiding the teachers as to tin*
amount of work that may be required
of a pupil, in many cases preventing
a n overstraining of those whose physic
al development does nut keep pace*
with their mental, find pointing out ns
well wh'*u more work can be required
of a pupil without fear of injury. This
cxp.*rinient is a new departure, but it
is in line with the advance of modern
school work, and the teachers of the
schools are hopeful that it will load to
valuable results.
DR. NANSEN'S POLAR SHIP.
A Marvel of Solidity Helng Constructed
for the Cue of the Explorer.
Dr. Nansen's polar ship has pro
gressed so far in construction that one
can now form some idea of its general
outline, says the Folkebladet, of Chris
tiania. The slanting sides strike the
eye at once. Under the supposition
that the vessel will be “screwed" by the
ice, care lias been taken that no pro
jecting points or flat surfaces exist.
The peculiar design is based on the an
ticipation that all ice, when meeting •
the vessel, will be forced down under
it. allowing it to be raised so much out
of the water. For the same reason the
bottom of the vessel is covered with
hard and smooth wood—greenheart,
throe to six inches thick. Inside, the
vessel is provided with horizontal, ver
tical and diagonal crossbeams, fastened
by hundreds of iron and wooden joints,
giving the impress of great solidity.
The frame is mostly old oak. Besides
the outermost covering of greenheart,
there are two oak skins. The vessel is
provided with a steam engine of PS2
horsepower. It is rigged as a three
master schooner and will inuiuly rely
on its sails when in the ice. Its dimen
sions arc: Iveel, 81 meters; greatest
length of deck, 89 meters; greatest
width of deck. 11 meters; height from
heel to deck, 5.25 meters: when loaded,
4.75 meters; displacement, SOO.tons.
The hull will be extremely heavy on
account of the heavy material used in
its construction, yet it is est limited that
she will bo able to carry 400 tons of coal
and provisions, etc. Besides the small
er boats necessary for reconnoitering,
etc., two large boats are being built
able to hold the whole crew of twelve
men and provisions for three months.
If the polar currents are running us
Nansen supposes, it becomes reason
able to expect that his expedition will
meet with success. IIis vessel is cer
tainly a marvel of solidity.
