BANKER CLEWS’ VISWR . -
The Financial Outlook as Been From
Wall Street.
New York, Dec. 3.—During the week,
we hare bad the first clear indication of
what the Brussels conference it likely to
prove willing to do toward settling the sil
ver problem. Alfred do Rothschild’s
proposals that, for each of the next five
years, the European governments shall col
lectively buy* £5,000,000 worth of silver at
a maximum price of 43 pence per ounce and
that the United Btates shall for the same
period continue to buy 54,000,000 ounces,
may perhaps be taken as a test, but proba
bly not the full measure of what Europe is
st present disposed to do. I take it that the
United States will not be found willing to
oestow any serious consideration
sn this simple proposal, without ma
terial amendments. On its face,
She scheme is an attempt to saddle the
United States with the responsibility of
taking, for the next five years, twice as
much silver for monetary use as all Europe
combined; and not only this; it also means
that, after haring thus added 270,-
000,000 ounoes to our stock of silver
and in a much larger measure increased
the amount of legal tender notes
payable in gold or silver, there will be the
sameabeenoe of any concerted protection
(or silver as there Is at this moment, whilst
Its depreciation will then be subject to a
new impetus. It Mr. de Rothschild insists
upon standing on bis very limited proposi
tion ,he could not have undertaken to devise
this country a method of deliberate flnan
oial suicide, which would at the same time
afford Europe an opportunity of becoming
the successors to our large stock of gold, he
could not have suggested a plan more cer
tain of suoh refusals. All such petty ex
pedients are but a mookery of the
large and serious demands arising out of
the present position of silver. The
foreign powers cannot be ton soon given to
understand that the United States sue for
no favors in this matter. They regard
themselves as being, iii common with all
the great nations. exposed to serious dan
gers from the depreciation of silver; and
they are willing to take their just quota of
responsibility in any oommon feasible effort
to reatore the metal to a stable status; but
beyond that limit of commitment they will
decline to go; and if, for flfteen years, they
have ventured to fight the decline of silver
single-handed, they regard t at rather as a
reason why they should in future be ex
peoted to do less to arrest the depredation
than as affording a ground for making In
creased demands upon them. It looks very
much as though the result of the coufereuca
might be to leave us no alternative but to
immediately suspend all government pur
chases of sliver and put in foroe such means
as lie within our power to accumulate gold
in order the better to maintain the value of
the silver money we already have. That
being done, we shall be safe; and Europe
may then be disposed to undertake the
radical and only sure method of dealing
with the question which tney now are
maneuvering to evade.
TH* SILVER CONFERENCE.
The effect of the silver oouferenoe upon
value* is somewhat unsettling, because it
arouses public attention to danger* which
have long been realized by only a very
few. In reality, this agitation should tend
to reitore confidence; for onoe the daugers
are fairly realized, the remedy will be the
sooner auplied. As the movement for stop
page of government purchases of silver is
likely to be led by Senator Sherman him
self, the outlo >k in this direction is more
encouraging. At the moment Wall street
is mors disturbed at the proapeoto of gold
exports than any other single influence.
Foreign exchange remains firm, owing to
the relativo scarcity of grain and cotton
bills; and, as Europ* still retusss to buy our
stocks and bonds, there is also an absence of
security bills. Meauwbila money rules
easy, owing to the enormous expansion of
silver currency, eons-queutly Europe finds
it easier to draw up on us for gold. While
there is no occasion for iunmediao* •lurm
over gold exports, exceptional as they are
tat this aaaiu, still i* 1* impossible to re -
store confidence under such conditions.
Another factor of uncertainty is
the early opening of congree with all its at
tendant agitations, Business men have an
unusually unsettled period in prospect, and
witn all soria of tariff changer* and discus
sions to be met, they are likely to remain In
a very conservative mood. Then, too, rail
road earnings are not so satisfactory as a
few months ago, and this deprives the mar
ket of the support it has had from that
meaus. The only supporting features are
the generally sound condition if the mer
cantile, industrial and railroad slla ra, and
the fact that unusually large amounts lor
dividends will be distributed next month,
wbio i ought to develop a good investment
demand for desirable stocks and bonds,
speculation iu the industrials have been
aotive, but operations in these have been
la geiy of an artificial character, and rail
road securities were influenced but slightly
by their movements. Concerning tho fut
ure we oau onl . renew our advice of cau
tion; buying on the breaks ond selling upon
all good rallies.
PAUL H. HAYNE.
His Method of Composition Described
by His non.
W. H. Hat/ne in Livpinc it's,
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said to my
mother that “poetry takes a great deal out
of a man;” and these words express, in a
nutshell, what I mean.
Aly father’s favorite habits of composition
were to pace back and forth between the
standing desk iu ins study and the book
shelves in the library ,or beneath the trees
surrounding C pee bill, it the weather was
favorable, and with pencil and volume in
ha and to jot down, on the fly-leaf alreadv
referred t< i, the first revision of a poem, or
as much of it as the duration of the creat
ive mood would allow. Sometfm s he wroto
while taking a leisurely horse aek ride
around the house or through the woods,
sometimes whi.e sitting in Ids arm cbair of
Ueorgia pine, but generally with greater
ease while walking. This was especially
true during the early and middle periods of
bis life, w hen he found it irksome to sit
down for any length of time, and never
seemed to weary of those meditative walks.
I have k own biin to oompo e the last
line, or intermediate part, of a poem befoie
the beginning. Wnen completed,however,
what reader would have doubted that it
came Into being consecutively!
Occasionally tbe choice phrasing of a
thought that hail baffled him for days
would visit him in sleep. My mother told
me that he awoke one I night (he iiad been
very busy preparing his Savanuah seequi
oentennlal ode) from tranquil slumber, and
said suddenly, “Minna, at last, in sleep the
thought which has eluded me for days has
been captured!”
Then be repeated the following lines,
which Philip Bourke Marston afterward
pronounced fine, aud which so worthily de
scrilie the loveliness of southern worn n:
Maidens of tranee and daughters of a dream:
They hare stolen a sun-shaft for each radiant
. glance
Ana woven the star-shine in their midnight
lair.
In the earlier years of his literary career
he would frequently awake at night, get
but of bed, light a candle and compose
many lines upon some poem which he said
“forced itself upon his mind.”
He was more systematic In writing prose
™n vei se, although many oharaoteristio
•feeimen, o! the former may be found in
*" fly leaves of all kinds of twioks. When
®bgged in preparing an essay, a book re
p** r i a story, the copying of manuscript
re*[ printer, or tbe olaims of a large cor
stanj/ience, he would usually go to bis
breakfast ,u the morning, soon after
’ nd write for hours.

VANQUISHED BY OWLS.
The Remarkable Experience of a Con
necticut Farmer.
From the .Veic York F*reu.
North Lynn, Cosh., Nov. 22.—Uncle
Elisha Huff, a well known citizen of Clover
Plain, went to the door last Monday night
to take a look at the sky before going to
bed. While be stood on the doorstep an owl
hooted in an apple tree across the garden.
Mr. Huff is an old hunter and trapper,
and the minute that he beard the owl boot
be decided to get him if he could.
He went back into the house to slip ou his
boots and get his gun. The moon was
shining, but 1 ncle Elisha's eyesight is not
as keeu as it was onoe, and when he get
under the apple tree he couldn’t see the owl.
With the idea of stirring the bird up and
making it fly out of the tree. If it was still
there, he picked up a stons and threw it
among the branches.
There was a sort of fluttering noise among
the limbs and Mr. Huff tried to get Big it of
the bird, but the shadows were to > much for
him; he couldn’t see it, and he let drive an
other stone. This time there was more noise
among the limbs, and Mr. Huff thought he
saw the owl sitting high up in the tree. Ha
pulled up his guu in line with the dark
object and pulled the trigger That same
instant Uncle Elisha hec.,l a sort of a
squeal, and he got a rap in the face that
knocked him flat.
When the old man fell h*s elbow struck a
stone and bis gun flew out of his baud. He
was a little bit dated at first. but he soon
collected his senses, and saw sitting on the
branch of a quince tree a few feet aw ay two
immense white owls.
Mr. Huff immediately began to got onto
his feet, but he didn’t reach them. When he
was on one knee ready to stand up the two
owls, with a savage squeal, shot out from
the quince tree and struck the old man a
fearful blow on the side of the head with
their claws.
Uncle Elisha toppled over half stunned.
The blood was running down his face.
When he came to bis mad was up, and he
jumped to his feet as quickly as his age
would permit him to. He had hardly
straightened up when the owls struok him
again. This time one of the birds hit him
in the head, the other struck him on the
chest. The old man went down onoe more,
and the two owls still sat on the quince tree
limb squealing aud grinding their beaks to
gether ominously. When Unele Elisha
moved the birds shook their feathers sav
agely and made ready to pounce on him.
Mr. Huff tinted to give up a couple of
owls, but he knew enough to lie still while
thinking out a plan for outwitting them.
He thought of his dog and whistled to him.
The dog was asleep in bis kennel out back of
the h ose. He was a big, lazy animal of the
Newfoundland species. He heard bis mas
ter's whistle and shambled out into the
garden.
When the dog got within ten feet of the
quince bush the owls lauded on his back,
and he moved faster than he had moved for
years in the direction of his kennel, yelping
painfully. Mr. Huff seized upon this op
portunity to get up, but he quickly lay
down again when the owls left the dog and
started for the quince tree.
Once Mr. Huff started to crawl toward
the house on his hands and knees, but he
was brought to a halt by the owls. They
lit on bis back and pounded bis head and
sides unmercifully with their wings.
The Old fellow hated to acknowledge him
self beaten and he lay till after midnight
trying to think out some way of escape from
his tormentors, but he couldn’t do it aud he
finally yelled at the top of hit voice for hit
son to come out.
His sou was about half awake when be
came into the garden in answer to his
father's oatls. He woko up, however, when
oue of the owls came at him with a squeak.
The young man retreated to tile bouts and
Sot his gun. When he returned to the gar
en bis father was still laying on the ground
aud the owls occupied the limb of the
quiuce busti. Young Huff was a crack
shot, and taking both birds in at long range,
he let both barrels or his gun go at them.
They tumbled to the ground dead.
The owls were very large. One measured
BY4 feet acroas the wings from tip to tip.
The other measured a few inches less.
POUNDS A WILD CAT TO DEATH.
The Pluoky Deed of a Hamburg (Oonn.t
School Teacher.
Hamburg, Conn., Dec. 4.—Hayden Gray,
school visitor in the Alder itidga district,
and Alice Griswold, teacher of tha eobool,
had an exciting experience with a wild cat
a day or two ago. The school house stands
at the foot of a high hill. The day was
warm and the window on the side of the
building toward tbe bill was opened. Just
as school was dismissed a dog came tearing
down the hill, and the next minute an lm
meuse wild cat sprang through tbe window
and landed on tbe floor in front of the
traoher’s desk. At sight of the animal tbe
scholar* ran screaming to a corner of the
room and huddled together. The school
visitor, Mr. Gray, a man well along in
years, climbed on top of the teacher’s
desk and yelled for her to come too.
Mis, Griswold is a plucky woman and she
hail no intention of retreating. Site stood
near the stove and.picking up a heavy iron
poker, held her ground. Close on the heels
of the wild cat carne the dogs. The two ani
mals clinched, but in leu than a minute the
dog crawled under tbe benches with one
side of bis scalp torn off and one leg chewed
nearly off. The cat was fully aroused, and
turned its attention to Mr. Gray, who had
by this time seized a chair, placed it on top
of the desk and olimbed upon that. Tbe
wiid cat leaped ut the man. He had pioked
up the school hell as a weapon, aud when
the wild cat reached the desk he struck tbe
animal a blow on the head that knocked it
to the floor. It made another spring, this
time reaobing the chair, and knocked it and
the visitor to the floor. The cat sprang
again at the man, who fought the animal
off as best he could with the bell, but he
would probably have suffered severely bad
not tbe teacher oome to his assistance with
tbe poker. The woman hammered the cat
and drove it into a corner, where she bela
bored it until it was dead. The school
master was scratched and bis' clothes were
torn, but he was not seriously injured. Tbe
teacher came out of the fray without a
mark.
GOLD UP A THES.
WoodchoDper Jones Picks Roms Rich
Fruit From a Cottonwood Tree.
San Francisco, Cal., Deo. 4.—A wood
chopper named Jones has had a singular
experience in Han Bernandino. He was
topping some cottonwood trees in the city
when he discovered two tin cans hung to a
limb near the trunk.
The cans held $1,900 in gold coin. Jonea,
who is a poor mau, could have appropri
ated tbit small fortune aud no one would
have known of it. Instead be turned it
over to County Clerk George Hixon, iu
whose hands it now is awaiting a claimant.
The And was made on the corner of I and
Third streets, ou a lot owned by H. L.
Drew.
Home persons suppose that Comers, the
embezzler from Grand Forks, N. D.. in jail
there awaiting extradition, made this tree
the biding place for some of his money.
GONE DAFT ON A GOLD FIND.
Missouri Farmers asking Ridiculous
Prices for Hni Hills Land.
Kansas City, Mo., Deo. 4.—Farmers in
the Sni hills, in Jackson county, Missouri,
a favorite stamping ground of tbe Quan
trell gang, during war times, have g' ne
draft on a gold craze. Four months ago
they began to develop a long abandoned
mine, but, meeting with no sucoese, quit
work. The search was resumed two weeks
ago, and tbe miners were rewarded witb
quartz that experts pronounced rich in
gold. On the strength of this the mine is
being worked day and night, aud surpris

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. DECEMBER 5, 1892.
A TRAGEDY OF LOVE.
A Sudden Death of a Farmer Fallowed
by His Former Sweetheart.l
L* Sueur, Minn., Dec. 4. St. Henry, a
country neighborhood twelve miles from
this city, is in the throes of a tremendous
sensation, in whioh love, jealousy, revenge
and death figure, aud two people in the full
enjoyment of health but three davs ago are
now onld in death.
Tueeday morning Joseph H under, a proe
perous farmer, suddenly died of heart disease.
On Wednesday Miss Agues Bt ear, a sister
in-law of Hounder’s, died in the same man
ner. Hounder was buried on Thursday,
but pending the interment of Miss Bhear a
letter written by her was found which
throws some light on the tragedy and the
fnueral was postponed. While the letter
did not own that the writer was the cause
of Hounder’s death, it gave directions that
■he should be buried by his side aud shows
clearly that she contemplated suicide.
J|At the soene of the double tragedy bun
reds of people gathered aud the excitement
was intense. It seems that Hounder had
just arisen on the morning of his death and
had taken nothing but a ohew ot tobacco,
when he complained of feeling strange and
almost immediately fell over, dying within
an hour. The girl was at the house while
he was being put in bis coflln and declared
that she, too, would soon go. Leaving the
premises at 9 o'clock a. m. following the
day of bU death, she was a corpse within an
hour after reaching home. Miss Bhear was
26 years of age aud bad kept company, it is
■aid, with Hounder some time, but last
August while at Minneapolis he married a
younger sister. He was a popular young
man in prosperous circumstances, without
an enemy in| the world, and his sudden
death iu suoh a mysterious manner, fol
lowed so soon by that of his former sweet
heart, leads to the belief that her unre
quited passion prompted her to take his life
as well as her own. The remains of Hounder
will be exhumed, and the inquest now in
session will also examine into the oause of
bis death.
NEW GOLD FIiiLDS TO BB OPENED.
The Rich Mountains of Indian Terri
tory Coveted by Capitalists.
Kansas City, Mo., Deo.4.—The state of
Kansas will begin the iu vasiou of the In
dian Territory very soon in the search of
gold. It has long been an established fact
that the precious metal exists iu quantities
in the Arbuokle mountains, but the absence
of railroads there has kept many from going
into the oountry. Half a dozen companies
have b-en formed within a week to obtain
control of the gold mining interests of Ar
buckle, Wichita and Rainy mountains, in
the southwest part of the Indian Territory.
United States Senator Perkins and several
of his senatorial and congressional friends
are in the deal, and John V. Moflit, the
Rock Island railroad man, United States
Senator Marshal Grimes and other capital
ists are also interested.
The idea is to get a bill pushed through
the short session of oongress which will
throw this country open to prospectors un
der the mining law, and if this fails a law
will be made after the manner of that
which foroed the opening of the Deadwood
country.
The Indians of that section say they have
for years mined such gold there as they
needed for their trinkets aud that the
mountains are rich, but they do not intend
to let the whites gain possession, and us
soou as a white prospector locates a mining
claim an Indian will take it up as an allot
rneui. Dr. Hartraeyer. the geologist sent
by the government to investigate, and who
has himself looated a claim, says be found
quartz which assayed SSOO of gold to the
ton, and that the saud along the Rainy
river and Cash crock is very nob.
FORCED TO TAKE THE GIBt.
The Queer Experience of a Chlcigo
Statesman at Crawfordeville, Ind.
Crawfordsvill*, Ind., Dsc. 4.—J. D.
Ricbheimer, a young salesman who travels
for Bell, Conrad ft Cos., of Chicago, had an
experience Friday which wlli not soon be
forgotten. He arrived in the morning ana,
after visiting his customers, entered a
candy store where was employed Miss
Laura Larsh, the IH-year old adoptel
daughter of Robert Lanb, a highly re
spected aud well-to-do citizen. An ac
quaintance was toon formed, the young
lady being attracted by his easy bearing
and gentlemanly address. Riohheinier de
cided that bis departure was not
imperative before night, and accordingly
an engagement to promenade after
supper was the result of the
first meeting. When Laura did not return
home long after her usual time Mr. Larsn
became uneasy and started out to investi
gate. In the meantime Richhelmer bad in
duced tbe girl to go to Lafayette with him
to seek employment, but shortly before the
train arrived dissuaded her and started her
toward home. Bhe met her fattier en route,
and together they returned to Kichheimer.
Bbe was bitterly upbraided by tne infu
riated father. Klobheimer insisted that he
bad no mtenti n of w ronging the girl, but
that did not sutfioe, and the parley continued
until the train arrived and the irate father
demanded that he take tbe girl with him
and backed up the demand wito a revolver.
There was no alternative and, buying an
other ticket, the couple boarded the train
and sped northward. Tbe affair has cre
ated a sensation.
TO RECLAIM AN EMPIRE.
A Company Formed to Irrigate 700,-
000 Acres of Wyoming Land.
Cheybnnb, Wyo., Dec. 4.—The Green
River Basin Canal and Land Company,
with a capital of $5,000,000 and with
practical moneyed men behind the scheme,
is to undertake the reclamation of 700.000
aci ei of arid land in Viola aud Bweetwater
counties in this state.
They will colonize Scandinavians. They
have bought outright Iso,oooacr s, and will
allow tbe remainder on the tributary traot
to be homesteaded. There is an ample sup
ply of water for Irrigation and power, and
tbe Union Pacific main line bisects tbe vast
holding. Tbe company bus made surveys
and has quietly secured water rights. Tne
gentlemen in this enterprise are F rank and
Oliver Marshall and VY. W. and Janies P.
Porter and other practical and wealthy
men of Denver, George A. Crofutt, the
irrigation promoter, and Oliver Olson, an
attorney of Rock leland, 111., who nil I un
dertake to supply Scandinavian farmers
without number. These farmers will have a
floe steady market at the several large coal

WISE WOMEN.
They Are All the Mere Aitrarlive and
Charming Because They Are Wise and
Sensible.
Who la a wise woman ? She is one who knows
herself. knows what she requires, and governs
herself accordingly. She may realize that she
Is not so young as formerly, that possibly her
complexion la not to fine, her health so good,
but if she la a wise woman, she lakes steps to
preserve her health, keep her oomplezion and
remain rosy and bright, even with advance.g
years. It is true she cannot do ibis unaided; it
la true that she needs assistance and require# "a
friend in need " That friend must be some
thing that can restore all these fading qualities;
It must be some gentle stimulant, taken in mod
eration But what! There Is but one. The only
medicinal stimulant which Is specially designed
for ladies is Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. These
are not idle words, hut truths which have been
proved by the happiness and health of thousands
of women in all parts of America. Prominent
ladies admit this, and they do not hesitate to
say that as a medicinal stimulant Duffy's Pure
Malt Whiskey is a godsend to any woman. It
it tha realization of these things that makes
the wise; it ie the neglect of these things that
constitutes the foolish woman It should be
carefully borne in mind, however, that no other
whiskey is medicinal or furnishes the qualities
required for preserving the life aud bringing
health.

A LRIPPCai CUBED BY PRAYER
Almost a Miracle Is the Case of n
Little Connecticut Girl.
Middletown, Conn., Deo.4. — Little Miss
Mertina Underhill, daughter of Frank F.
Underhill of Re idlug Center, had a spinal
disease for twenty-three months and was
practically paralyzed. She did not hope
to get well. Bhe read a great many books
iu bed. One day she read the ekury of an
invalid cured by prayer. Thereupon a ray
of hope came Into her heart, and she began
to pray for health and strength and that
she might recover the use of her limbs.
She prayed continually exoept when she
slept, and began to mend at once.
One day she said to her mother, “Why, I
can begin to move my legs a little.’’ ribe
kept on praying and mending. She took
no drugs and she had a good appetite. One
day she said, “I think I can get up,” and
with the help of her mother she got up.
She was able to stand a few minutes, ami
next day she took a few steps in ber bed
room. Next she sat up all day, and thD
woek walked about as well as any one nnd
is about well. Bhe still prays dally. Bbe

an out and out free trader. Said Sumner to
him: “Well, Bill, how do you get along in your
new poet? Has Cleveland any Influence with
his cabinet?” Whitney fixed Ms diplomatic
speotacles upon bis old chum and sent a rather
grave glanon through them, and then puttlm
tns hand upon Sumn-r's shoulder, said; “Billy,'
we have already di-corered on- tiling, where
