ANTS BIOQBR THAN FOXES.
> Pliny Could Discount Ananias In the Art
of Dnwlnf the Long How.
Pliny, that rare old gossipcr, tells,
among his other extraordinary sto
ries, that of the Hadrian method of
obtaining gold. The sandy deserts of
Bactria in the days of that historian
were, so the old man *ay.s, literally
swarming with ants "slightly bigger
than foxos." These gigantic repre
sentatives of the genus homonoptora
burrowed deeply into the sandy
wastes, their tunnels and galleries
often being hundreds of feet in ox
l’\ tent. The earth removed from these
burrows was always carried to the
outside and thrown up in hills (ro
member Pliny says this) “of a bigness
exceeding that of a palace.” This
debris—sand, earth, etc.—was soon
found to be wonderfully rich
in small nuggets of gold. The danger
from the ants was greater, however,
than that from the Indians in the ear
ly days of gold digging in the Western
United States, and many stories are
told of men who were literally de
voured in a few moments by the fierce
owners of some disturbed burrow.
Some observing old hunter at last dis
covered that the giant ants slept dur
ing the hottest hours of the day. Af
ter that the seekers after the yellow
metal only made their . incursions at
the proper time, and even then they
only stayed long enough in the deserts
to fill their sacks with the golden
sand, whieh they took home to sift at
leisure. With all this precaution the
ants often "swiftly pursued the fleet
est horses, and it was only by using
various stratagems that the Invaders
managed to escape alive. ”

A romantic wedding took place in
the Lee Avenue civil court in Brook
lyn the other day, when Joseph
Frenkel and Miss Lena Rubenstein
were married by Civil Justice E. Clar

to the Judge.
*'I have been in this city about
eighteen months,” he said. “I share
a room with a young fellow of my
own ag4 named Max Traum. Traum
used to teU me about his sweetheart,
Lena Rubenstein, who lived at SI
Ewen street, and, at his request, I
called to see her. I loved her from
the first Traum never liked to meet
his girl alone, so he used to take me
with him time after time. He was a
funny fellow, too, for when Lena
would be playing the piano be would
go to Bleep on the sofa. Last night
I Went with Traum as usual
to call upon Lena, and as usual
he fell asleep. Then I told Lena that
If, I loved her and she told mo that the
love waa returned. I am not able to
support a wife at present, but Lena
and I thought it was best to get
' married without losing any time.
That is why we came here to-day.
When we leave here Lena will return
to her home and I will go back to my

money enough to support my wife in
proper style. When that time comes
we will be married by a rabbi, but in
the meantime Traum is out of it”

Herp is a story told by Hall <•!*<««
| concerning Wilkie Collins: “The most
auooessful character in ‘The woman
I* in White’ was not a Woman, but a
|J man—Fosco, the fat villain. When
the book was produced everybody was
talking about the fat villain. Whilst
the author was staying with his moth
er a lady visitor came. This lady said
to Collins: ‘Yon seem to have made a
great success with your villain in
“The Lady in White.” I have read
the book, I have studied this villain,
but he is not half a villain; you don’t
know a real villain; you have imag
ined this villain. I know a villain,
and the next time you want to da a
villain come to me. * I am very close
to one; I have one constantly in my
eye—in fact, it is my own husband!"
Wilkie Collins often told this story

Tho clinrnoters in the “Thousand

agined to step out of their sotting of
words and to take form and glow with
the genorous warmth of life before

SHORT ON SAMPLES.
A New York Lawyer's Experience With
n Party of Drnmmeri.
A New York lawyer traveling in the
Southwest found himself one evening
in the smoking compartment of a
sleeper, the other occupants of which
were drummers.
The traveling salesmen ‘were, as
usual, friendly and , communicative.
They talked of trade and of averaging
expense accounts, and at last all be
came very well acquainted.
The lawyer, however, remained
silent, communing with himself. He
had been retained upon a delicate case
and was traveling toward a city, the
objective point blso of the commercial
tourists, to attach a stock of goods,
lie did not, therefore, care to reveal
his identity.
After a while one of the drummers
attempted to open up a conversation.
His first remarks were civil enough
and were promptly answered. Then
the drummer made bold enough to
ask him his business.
“What line do you carry?” he asked.
“I beg your pardon, I don’t under
stand you,” replied the lawyer.
“Traveling from New York?”
“Yea”
“What house?”
“Oh, I am in business for myself.”
Then came a loner interval, in which
no one spoke. Finally, in despera
tion, the drummer 'asked: “May I in
quire what you sell?”
“Certainly,” replied the lawyer; "I
am selling braina”
Another long interval, and then the
drummer turned to one of his more
communicative friends and whispered:
“I say, Tom, that fellow carries a
deuced small lot of samplea”

Wadding In • Memphis Jail. After Which
the Groom Took a Solitary Tour.
Something' of a social function oc
curred in the county jail at Memphis,
lately, when Charles E. Ward, who is
imprisoned for counterfeiting, was
married to Miss Nora Alderson of
Woodstock, Tenn. Ward is about
30 years old, while Miss Alderson is
about 20. The ceremony was per
formed by ’Squire Garvin in the lobby
of the jail, and was witnessed by a
score or more of people, some friends
of the parties, while others were at
tracted by the novelty of the proceed
ings. .
Ward was a farmer until he tried
to better his condition by making and
passing counterfeit money. The
money he made was a very rank coun
terfeit and easily detected, which is
the cause of his present situation.
Ward pleaded guilty to the charge of
counterfeiting before the United
States court, and his sentence is pend
ing.
He has been engaged to Miss Aider
son for four years, and she was will
ing to marry him regardless of the
fact that for several years he will be
compelled to make his residence in
the penitentiary, and he thought it
would be better for1 all partith con
cerned that it should be so.

“Well?” smiled the gentle girl.

was my last chance. We were going

wouldn’t see her alone again before
she left town. , I began by saying:
‘Priscilla, dear,’ in the most lovelike

and a few cable car bells silenced my

them. Then I pressed her hand and
burst forth with an emphatic ‘dear

“The odd-numbered sections in the
Fort Randall Military reservation in
Nebraska may be selected by Nebraska
as school land indemnity within one
year after the filing of the plats of
survey. After the expiration of this
time, tho remaining tracts are to be
appraised and opened to homestead
settlement and entry at the appraised
valuation under the act of March 3,
1893. This act virtually prohibits entry
before such opening. The state bound
ary line through the reservation, was
surveyed during the summer and fall
of 1893, the field notes of which have
not as yet been forwarded to this office
by the contracting deputy surveyor.
When the said notes shall have been
received here an examination of the field
work will be ordered as soon as the
weather In Nebraska will permit.
Thereafter, if the field work and the
notes are found to be correct, on ex
amination in this office, the same will
be accepted and approved. Until this

State Journal: State Treasurer Bart-'
ley was made defendant in a suit filed
yesterday in the supreme court. The
suit is in the form of a petition for a
writ of mandamus by Robert A. Ewing,
who has served ns treasurer of Chase
county for the past two years. The suit
was filed yesterday by Stewart & Mun
ger of this city as attorneys' for Mr.
Ewing and the prayer of the petition is
for an order of the court compelling
State Treasurer Bartley to receipt fcr
$2,553 paid into the state treasury
October 10, 1803. and for the further
sum of $1,278 paid in January 4, 1894.
These amounts comprise collections due
the state trom Treasurer Ewing, but
Treasurer Bartley has declined to give
a receipt for the same. The reason why
he refuses does not appear in the papers'
on file, but Treasurer Bartley explained
to a Journal reporter that the trouble is
one of the many cases arising from the
failure of the Cupitol National bank. It
appears that Mr Ewing settled with the
state, giving to. the treasurer among
other securities, a draft for $3,000 on
the Capitol National bank, which was
receipted for by Deputy Bartlett. Be
fore the draft could be cashed the bank
failed. Treasurer Bartley says Mr.
Ewing then agreed to return his receipt
for the draft, but the matter has re-;
mained unsettled, and Treasurer Bartley
has refused to give receipts for the two
subsequent payments made by Mr.
Ewing. The position of Mr, Ewing is
that the state treasurer cannot apply
subsequent payments on an account
that has been receipted for. It is a
question of who is to make good $3,000
lost in the bank. The amount is not
included in the state's claim against the
bank, and it is claimed that the court
has decided that negotiable paper is not
money in such cases.
