Only a day or two ago 20,000 coffins were
burned in New York city. Still, If we
economize our rum account we may manage
to live without them.
“Women’s right to work” is a plain sort
of question that is just now fomonting no
little controversial virility in Brooklyn.
There is no earthly reason for it. Few men
are so despicably mean that they will not
allow a woman to carry up the coal if she
really yearns to do it.
Owing to the accidental omission of Sec
tion XXX of the new tariff law some eastern
merchants are said to bo i nporting large
quantities of goods from Europe on the
assumption that the law will be declared
unconstitutional. That seems rather a
hazardous undertaking.
On its second reading the Ohio legislators
voted down the bill empowering the mayor
of Cincinnati to appoint a non-partisan
board of public improvements, although
they had been convened in extra session for
nc other purpose. They probably consid
ered such on act unprofessional.
When an Italian applicant for naturali
sation wts asked in New York the other
day what the voters sent representatives to
Albany for. he frankly replied “To make
money.” Evidently he had been trained by
practical politic, ans. That idea of politics
seems to largely prevail in Gotham.
Weddings of more or less brilliance and
richness have followed rapidly upon the
train of one another since the Morning
News recen ly revealed the secret of how
such feli-i’ous arraugemeuts should be
brought about. As the holidays approach
cunid will probably be so rushed with busi
ness that he will have to work day and
night.
Platinum is Now a Prize.
Whoever shall find a deposit of pure
j platinum has within his grasp untold
I wealth. It is fast becoming tbe king of
j meta.s. Its growing aemar.d can now be
| met only by a diminishing supply. Qu:te
naturally these conditions have sent up
prices almost beyond reach.
“No enterprise in tbe w orld,” said a well
known electrician reoent'.y, “has increased
within the last few years so rapidly as the
busine sof electric lighting. Onlv eleven
years ago, it will be remembered, the light
was first perfected. From the few lamps
burned by Edison at Menlo Park in 1*579
have grown into present use at least 125,0P0
arc lights and 1.700,000 inca descent l’ghts.
■ Today tbe amount of money invested ii
electric light plants in this country alone is
nothing short of $130,000,000.” Possibly
more.
One of the most noticeable results of this
remarkuble growth is the increase in tbe
price of platinum. On every i candescent
lamp will be si on a strip of wire attached to
the copper conductor at tbetopcf the globe.
That is platinum. It connects the car
bonized loop, and is one of the absolutely
indispensable features of the lamp, because
it expands at tbe same temperature and in
the same proportion as the glass globe.
Many experiments have been made with
a view to discovering a sati-factory sub
stitu’e for platinum; bnt, up to this time,
they have ail proven alike unsuccessful. In
each instance tbe tests have resulted in the
more or less unequal expansion of the metal
and glass under experiment and the conse
quent shattering of the globe.
Unforiunately for the makers every lamp
requires a strip of that particular metal to
make it complete. Hence its rapidly in
creasing value. For the mines are not very
productive. Moreover, the} - are lo- ated in
the Ural mountains, so far away from the
ordinary channels of traffic as to be
nractioaily inaccessible.
Asa result of this increased demand and
diminishing supply the price of platinum
hi s advanced trt mendously, until it is now
almost as valuable as gold. Five years ago
the metal wus seldom used in this country,
being employed only in the evaporating
stills for the concentration of sulphuric acid
atd in the manufacture of jewelry. It was
then to be bought in the market for $8 and
$5 an ounce. One year ago it advanced to
$8 an ounce, six months ago it had increased
to sl4. Now one of the trade journals an
nounces that it has gone up to S2O. That is
only a few cents less than tbe gold quota
tions of to-day.
Platinum derived its name from the
original Spanish mines. As early as the
six eenth century it appears to have been
noticed that tbe gold ore in the Spanish
mines of Darien included grains of white
ore endowed with the qualities of a noble
metal and yet distinctly different from
silver. Its exportation to Europe was pro
hibited, because the Spanish government
found that it might easily lie usod In the
adulteration of gold For this reason it did
not find its way to Europe until the middle of
ihe last century, when it was known as
“platina del Pinto’ —the lit le silver from the
River Pinto. Since its remarkable chemical
properties were established in 1780, it has
been discovered iu New Granada, San
D miugo, Cal., Borneo, and in portions of
Canada. But the richest deposits are thoso
in the Ural mountain*, where tbe metal
was discovered in 1823, and where it has
been successfully mined by the Russians
since 1838.
Despite the recently acquired value of
platinum wo have the consoling reflection
that we shall coutinue to enjoy the brilliance
of electric lights, as the charges put upon
them are sufficiently high to admit the use
of the most expensive materials in the con
struction of lamps. So their light will
probab y not be “hid under a bushel” nor
anything else for some years to come.
Building companies which compare some
what to our building loan associations
recently organized in Berlin for the ostensi
ble purpose of “building cheap houses for
working people.” They then applied to tbe
government to start them in business by a
loan. Very naturally the government
promptly refused, as a matter of principle,
on the ground that there Is sufficient capital
and public spirited enterprise in Berlin to
furnish funds for all desirable and necessary
purposes. Moreover, the government would
regard such an experiment as setting a
dangerous precedent. There are points of
strong family resemblance between that
proposition and the sub-treasury scheme of
the farmers’ alliance.
Despite the disadvantages of being only
14 years old and a deaf mute, Charles
Kroeker is one of the star cracksmen of this
country. Asa lock-picker, jimmy-worker,
jail-breaker, burglar and general all-round
howling terror, he Is said to have few equals
and certainly no superiors between Barne
gat bay and Tehuantapec. His infirmity
doesn’t seem to retard his progress in the
modern accomplishments of civilization ia
the slightest degree. Since he cannot be
kept in j lils or reformatory schools, the
best thing for the boy would be to send him
to an insane asylum, where he oonld be
carefully guarded. Such precocious de
pravity cannot be the product of a healthy
mental condition.
Some of the country papers in Pennsyl
vania are attempting to surround the situa
tion by printing parallel columns of alter
nate democratic and republican editorials.
Then they advise their readers win don’t
like one column to tackle the next. But
how oau a man of abiding fa.th iu his home
paper believe that the country is going
altogether republican when he can almost
hear tbe democrats shouting in the uext
column? And when ho sees iu both columns
the exhilarating announcement, “We’vo
got them on the run,” he will very natur
ally want to know which party is iu front.
Nowhere in the United States is a woman
treated with such 6cant courtesy as in New
York city. Recently an old man who too
plainly manifested one of the instinctive
traits of a gentleman by assisting ladies
over a crossing in the most respectful man
ner was arrested aud arraigned in a police
court, where the presiding “justice” sneered
that he was "a philanthropist," and after
ascertaining that he got no pay for it
warned him to “not help other people so
much.” That a maa should do anything
through simple kindness seemed to fairly
paralyze the judge with amaze.
Like most really great men, Justice
Killer left no fortune worth mentioning ex
cept his resideuco ia Washington. Very
likely his widow will soon be added to the
swelling roll of special pensioners.
After a careful study ot the tariff bill
tbe Quarterly Bulletin, the authorized ex
ponent of the National Association of Wool
Manufacturers, says “it works against us.”
And they ought to know, if auy one does.
THE MORNING NEWS: SUN DAY, OCTOBER 26, 1890-TWELVE PAGES.
Fair Luna's Photographed Features.
Last week two brothers at the Paris ob
servatory took a photograph of the moon,
which was recently printed in Nature. It
includes tbe central region of the satellite,
and in point of clearness almost totally
eclipses, so to speak, all former efforts at
photographic delineation of the lunar sur
face. Perfection of the object glass is largely
the cause of the phenomenal success of this
attempt, but it is chiefly due to the greatly
augmented magnifying power sec ired by
the use of a second magnifier, which en
larged tbe object fifteen diameters at the
first focus.
Topographical lineaments of the moon’s
surface are thus brought into plain view
with a degree of distinctness that is truly
astonis .ing. Indications of former volcanic
activity are said to be clearly shown in the
picture. But the traditional lone man is
nowhere to be seen.
Scientists conjecture that the above dis
turbance occurred “before the moon became
cool or rigid, wheu the lunar tides excited
by the earth’s attraction, and must have
been vastly more destructive than our high
est tides.”
How feminine that sounds. There are
many men on earth. Excited by earth’s
attraction; “a disturbance”; a tide of tears
followed by cooling off; then her face grows
rigid. At such a time almost any man
would be likely to disappear. Fair Luna
must have been hysterical. Some Dictures
recently taken by Prof. Holden at the Lick
observatory in San Francisco are said to
portray upon the surface of the moon par
allel walls only about 230 yards thick at
the top, and not more than 1,200 yards
apart.
If some of these scientific photographers
could only manage to secure a good picture
of the glowing face of Mars then we might
be able to formulate a more accurate opin
ion concerning the navigable character of
its alleged seas and canals; and get some
definite idea of its snow-tioped poles and
the wood-chopping capacity of those gaunt
individuals who are said to be brandishing
railroad lanterns at us on dark nights.
Finally the chief impelling influence that
has prompted the reckless testa of speed be
tween the ocean racers Teutonic and City
of Now York, of rryal Hues, has been
revealed by the extraordinary exertions put
forth in hurrying the m tils of the City of
New York from Queenstown to London.
Special channel boats and special trains
were run in order i o get tbe mails to Lon
don inside of seven days, but there we-e
vexatious delays, and the bulk of the mail
which was on board the City of New York
reached Isondon some time after the mail
from the Teutonic, which arrived in time to
make connections. Not only is there rivalry
between these two vessels, the one that
makes the quickest voyage getting the bulk
of the mail, bat there is threatened rivalry
by the fast Shuthampton steamers, and the
vessels stopping at Queenstown have to
make good tlmo across the Atlantic, and
also to use every exertion to hurry their
mails ou to London, in order to retain a
lucrative share of the mall carrying. But
that is scarcely a sufficient pretext for jeop
ardizing hund eds of human lives.
Advances in wheat last summer, pro
moted by Chicago speculators in anticipa
tion of a short crop, are said to have caused
a large diminution of exports. In Septem
ber the shipments of wheat from our prin
cipal ports were only 095,259 bushels, against
2,228,104 in the same month of 1889. In the
throe months of the present crop year the
falling off aggregates 2,100,000 bushels.
Flour still goes out from that port in large
quantities, but it is feared that when New
York’s recent heavy importations—in an
ticipation of the tariff bill—are paid for,
Europe will wont less and lass of our grain
and fl.ur. We have a surplus of wheat in
this country of wtileh tbe future is uncer
tain. Chicago holds it at from $1 05 to
$1 06 per bushel—a price at which it is out
of the foreign market. It is to be feared
that the readjustment to the price at which
the foreigner will buy of us rather than
our competitors will be a painful process
to all concerned, except, of course, the con
sumer.
Editor R. B. Davenport, who is said to
have caused the Harpers to stop the sals of
a book by Capt Kiug ou Indian campaign
ing because of an alleged mali ious libel
against him, is a well-known newspaper
man, formerly of the New York Herald
and now editor of the New Haven Morning
News. His complaint is reported to claim
that tho alleged libel results from spleen
engendered against him in oortain army
circles by his sharp and consistent criticism
of (Ten. Crook’s management of the Sioux
campaign of 1876, throughout which Mr.
Davenport acted as a special correspondent
of the Herald. Mr. Davonport’s conduct
has never been questioned by anybody who
was with him under fire in an Indian fight.
Capt King, it is said, was confessedly not
present at the scenes which in this instance
he undertakes to describe. It will make
rather an interesting fight in the courts.
After serving about eight years of a
twenty years’ sentence, Johnny Hope, the
notorious bank burglar, has just been par
doned through the intervention of Police
Inspector Byrnes, of New York, who had
been chiefly instrumental in "sending him
up.” In explanation the inspector says
that he “becamo convinced” that his "wit
nesses were mistaken.” Now the ponding
question seems to be: “How much did it
cost Johnny to convince him?” Johnny is
said to have had piles of cash when con
victed. Some astute observers seem to
think that the man’s conviction was
brought about just to make bim “unload."
If that bo the case he has probably suc
cumbed to compliance with the conditions
imposed finally, under the depressing in
fluences of old age and confinement.
Politicians seem to have readily adopted
at least one saying of Lord Chesterfield to
the effect that ‘'lf you can engage people’s
pride, love, pity, ambition (or whatever else
is their prevailing passion) on your side you
need not fear what their reason can do
against you.” And during the few days
that intervene before election they will
probably pile on the agony pretty thick.
By the fright and flight of his horse,
last Wednesday night, Senator Jo C. S.
Blackburn, of Kentucky, was thrown from
his buggy at Versailles and quite seriously
hurt. Still his friends and physicians think
he will pull through all right, in which
hope they are joined by thousands of ad
mirers of tbe eloquent Kontuokiau all over
the couutry.
To refute a recent report Mr. Cleveland
has been nut to the necessity of denying
that he is dead. In confirmation of his

Dana gna-h his teeth in a frenzy of fero
cious fury.

Because tbe city gave bim ot her gold.
Because th- caravans brougnt turquoises.
Because his life was sheltered by the King,
So teat no man should maim him. none should

An image of his god in gold and peari,
33'ith turquoise diadem end emerald eyes;
A wonder in tbe sunshine, known afar
Atd worshipped by the King; but drunk with
pride.
Because the city bowed to him for God.
He wrote above tbe shrine, “Thus gods are
made.
And whoso makes them otherwise shall die."
And all the city praised him. And ho died.

Because his rife was threatened by tbe King,,
So that all men despised him in streets.
He hacked tbe liv.ng rock, with sweat and
tears.
And reared a god against the monring gold;
A terror iu the sunshine, seen afar
And worshiped by tbe King; but, drunk with
pride.
Because the city fawned to bring him back.
He carved upon the plinth:—“Thus gods are
made,
And who so makes them otherwise shall die.”
And all the people praised him. Taen he died.
Read here tbe story of Evarra—man.
Maker of gods in lands beyond the sea.
Because he lived among a simple folk.
Because his village was between the hills,
Because he smeared bis cheeks w ith blood of
ewes.
Ho cut an idol from a fallen pine.
Smeared blood upon its chee-s and wedged a
shell
Above its eye and gave it hair
Of trailing in as and plaited straw for crown;
And ad tue village praised him for his craft.
And brought him butter, honey, m;ik and
curd^
3Vherefore, because the shoutings drove him
mad.
He scratched upon that log: ‘Thus gods are
made.
And whoso makes them otherwise shall die.”
And all the people praised him. Then he died.
Read here the story of Evarra—man.
Maker ot gods in lands beyond the sea.
Because ha god decreed one clot of blood
Should swerve a bair'6-breadth from the
pulse's path
And chafe Ilia brain, Evara mowed alone.
Rag-wrapped, among the cattle in the fields.
Counting his lingers, josting with the trees
And mocking at the mist, until his god
Drove him to lalior. Out of dung and horns
Dropped in the mire he made a monstrous
god—
Abhorrent, shapeless, crowned with plaintain
tufts;
And when the cattle lowed at twilight time
He dreamed it was the clamor of lost crowds.
And howled among the beasts: “Thu* gods
are made
And whoso makes them otherwise shall die.”
Thereat tbe cattle bellowed. Then be died.
Y'et at the last he came to Paradise
And found his own four Gods. Thereat he
mocked
And marveled, being very near to God,
What oaf on ear. h tad made his toil God's
law.
Till God said, mockingly, “Mock not; these be
thine."
Then cried Evarra, “I have sinned." Not so.
If thou nadst writen otherwise thy gods
Had rested in the mountain and the mine.
And I were poorer by four wondrous gods
And thy more wondrous law, Evarra—tala’.
Servant of shouting crowds and lowing kine.”
Thereat, with laughing mouth, but tear-wet
eyes,
Everra cast his gods Irom Paradise.
This is the story of Everra—man,
Maker of gods in lands beyond tbe sea.
A Dog’s Military and Civic Career.
From the Kansas City Times.
Soldier is dead.
There was an air of sadness at the Union
depot and in the offices along Union avenue
yesterday as the above words passed among the
officials. 3V T ho was the s ddier wh i had so many
fr.ends? It was not “the soldier” nor “a sol
dier." but plain “So:dier," aud he was only a
dog, a little black fellow who had for years been
a familiar character around the depot. Every
body was friend, not only for his own sake, but
on account of the history of bis ever.t’ul life,
wuich could he but have been able to talk
would have added an interesting page to west
ern history.
One day some eleven years ago an old soldier
got off an east-bound train. He had been
wounded while fighting Indians on the plains
and was on his way nome on a furlough, bui
was taken sick here and sent to a huspital,
where be only lived two or three days. With
him when lie arrived here was a little black dog,
which he said had been ins constant companion
on tho plains, and as he was in Gen. Terry’s
command when they went or were supposed to
heve gone to brave (' ister's relief at the time of
the Little Big Horn slaughter, the canine passed
all through that remarkable campaign.
When the man was taken to the hospital the
dog remained at the depot, and for two days
wandered over the tracks, under the cars and
up aud down Union avenue hutning for his
master, who, before this, had gone to await the
final bugle call. At last h - located in the Union
Pacific ticket office, opposite the main entrance
to the depot, and from tnat time on was a fix
ture with the Overland people. T. A. Soaw, the
ticket agent, took him under his especial charge
and, after a tune, the dog. which had been
christened “Soldier,” was taken to Mr. Shaw’s
home, where he soon become a great pet with
the family.
"Soldier” evidently appreciated his new home,
as lie made it his headquarters from that time
until his death, which occurred yesterday from
old age. For several years, no matter what the
weather. “Soldier" would go down to the Union
depot, where he would mane the rounds of the
building and a so the offices along the avenue
then be wouia return to Mr. Saaw’s home for
the day. He was stolen once and taken to Den
ver, but escaped from his captor, and, after
months of absence, turned up foot-sore and
almost exhausted. Not long after he again dis
appeared, and was not seen for over a year,
when one day ho orawled into the Union Pacific
office more dead than alive. He was taken
home, and the ladies nursed bim for several
weeks until be recovered. After that exploit
"Soldier” lived a quiet life until his death.
Cheerfully Made the Correction.
There was a great big duffer of a fellow walk
ing around on the platform of the depot at
Paterson, says the New York Saa, evidently
aching for a row or some sort, when somebody
c ailed out after a Mr. Goodhue. The owner of
the name proved to be a smal: sized man, with
a big umbrella under his arm, anil here w'as an
opening for the duffer. Ho walked up and
asked:
“Is your name Goodenough?”
“No, sir; my name is Goodhue.”
“Good—Good-what? Please repeat.”
“Goodhue, sir.”
“Spell it with a J?”
“No, sir.”
"Maybe you don't spell it at all?”
“I don’t unless I want to.”
“O, you don't? Let's see—what is it? I never
was much at rememberin' names. Your name
is Goodenough, is it?”
“Goodhue, sir.”
‘ Please write it down; I may forget it.”
“O, no, yeu won’t!” replied the little man.
and his words were followed with an upper-cut,
which took the big man fairly under the chin
and almost lifted him off his feet. He stag
gered 1 acs. scrambled to bis feet and spit out a
mouthful of blood, and, as tbe little man was
swinging for his jaw, he called out:
“Don't! Hold on! Your name is Goodhue—
Goodhue—Goodhue—and you spell it with the
biggest kiud of a 'G!' Somebody go fer a doc
tor to sew up my tongue!”
He Had Thirty-seven Razors.
Last week Chief Justice Paxson, of the Penn
sylvania supreme court, called at Borneman's
barbershop, in this city, says the Allentown
Democrat, to get shaved, and that after the
work had been performed ue inquired of the
barber as to his charges for honing razors, and
the latter, naturally thinking that there would
be but one or two, staled that his price was a
quarter apiec \ The judge bad nothing to say
against this and next day called and laid down
a lot of thirty-seven of tne finest chin-scrapers
ever seen by Mr. Bornemau for having them
boned. He naturally felt surprised on see
ing such a large lot of shaving instruments for
individual use, and. remarking thereupon, the
juigo explained that he was accustomed to
have large numbers of gentlemen Bojourners
from Philadelphia at his farm mansion in Bucks
county, and from tfce fact that the nearest
barber shop was nine miles distant, be naturally
had to be provided with sharp implements for
their accommodation, and with a good lot of
them, too, the guests, as a rule, being, like the
judge, capable of shaving themselves,
Economy: “O-e hundred doses sl."
Merit: "Peculiar to itself.”

of that country.
It is said that in many shops in Portugal at
tbe present time the sign “American Spoken

toe British ration.

In 1884, while the union army was lying in
front of Petersburg, Va., a gentleman, who is
now a 33 7 ashington attorney, found an old

locating the owner until a few days ago, when
he forwarded tbe prized volume to Thomas C.

A large plum tree growing in a garden in
Santa Barbara, Cal., sent a root into an old and

ground, passed through a hole, down the other
side whero, it re entered the sewer and con
tinued its course.

house on Thursday evening a band in the offices
of the Long-Distance Telephone Company, two

curious c ntrivance, the transmitter of which
was cone aled in the chandelier above the table
in the Electric Club.
Several attempts hnve been made to es

Speculators have bought for exhibition pur
poses the side-wheeler Beaver, now lying on the
flats at Victoria, B. C. According to a Ban
Francisco parser, tbe Beaver was the first
steamer on the Pacific, and came around the
Horn in 1535, in which year, it is claimed, she
was built in London for the Hudson Bay Trad
ing Company. She is 101 feet long. 20 feet
broad, and 1 feet deep. She has a very broad,
square stem, and has her paddle-boxes away
forward.
On the plantation of John H Roberts, near
Robertsville. S. C., there is a tree, that does not
touch the ground by six feet A pine sapling
cut down at some period unknown to the oldest
inhabitant, lodg'd on the limb of an adjacent
tree. The growth of the tree and limb grad
ually closed around it until It became com
pletely unbedded. Drawing its life from the
tree, it grows and presents a luxurious appear
ance. All trace of the stump from which it was
out has long since disappeared.
A YOUNG WOMAN who was a passenger with
some friends on one of the steamers leaving
Boston tor a Maine city was asked in the morn
ing whether she had a comfortable night, and
She replied that her sleep was disturbed be
cause she had uot got used to the life pre
server, which prevented her from getting into
an easy position. It turned out that she had
fastened one around her body on retiring for
the night, and, imprisoned in its folds, she had
become black and blue from tne pressure.
The French government has given to the
New York Societe Francaise de Bienfaisence
one of tbe famous Gobelin tapestries, h repro
duces the painting, "Les Pestiferes de Jaffa,”
by Gros. Thi3 valuable piece of handicraft is 24
feet in length aud 17 feet in breadth, and it took
twelve years to make it. It is now iu 3Vashing
ton, but will probably be brougnt to New York
soon. Mr. 1 heron does not attempt to estimate
tfce valu.- of the gift, but says it will be sold to
cover the society's indebtedness, whiohis about
$40,000.
“It appears,” says the New York Sun, “that
Arabs swarm along 3Vasbington street, from
Battery place to Carlisle street, and aro now
spreading along to Morris and Rector streets
ou tbe lower west side of the city. Very few of
the ’swarthy sons of the desert’ wear their own
picturesque garb after they have dwelt here a
short time. They live in clusters in the mean
old houses of that region of the city in which
they have taken up tneir abode. Tnere are a
few wholsale dealers among i hem, but nearly all
of them are pedd ers of napkins, trinkets and
cheap Arabian wares, earning from 10 cents to
10 dimes a day. It is rare to find any of them
able to mutter more than a half dozen words of
English. They are not a vicious element and
are wholly free from crime. Tney do not quaff
liquors or beer, but some of them tane a little
of the grape juice, which is prepared by an
Arab here T. ey do not mingie with any ot tbe
other races in New York.”
The identity of the famous “Man in the Iron
Mask " has never been made known. The mask
was not of iron, as has generally been supposed,
out of Dlaefc velvet. The fanciful stories of his
w earing an iron mask, locked behind with a
padlock, gained credence during his removal to
the castle of Pignerol in 1670. During this re
moval orders were given that if he revealed his
identity he was to be killed on tbe spot. In 1686
ho was again transferred, this time to the Isle
of Samte Marguerite. During the passage
the strictest watch was kept that he
might not reveal himself. In 1698 he was
again removed, this time back to tne Bastile,
his first place of imprisonment. He died ou
Nov. 19,1703, and was buried next day under
the can© of Machioti; th© place of
burial, tbe old cemettry of St. Paul, Paris. It
is now generally supposed that “The Man in
tne Iron Ma-k“ was Count Matthioli, a minister
of Charles 111., Duke oi Mantua According to
t estorv, Louis XIV. of France had bribed
M vtthioli, but flndmtf the latter playing aim
fl*e, lured him to tbe French frontier, and then
bad him secretly arrested and imprisoned.
