Several BIcmborfl Appnrontly Ply the City to I'Jvmlo the Performance of Ilitty Tha Mayor's . Veto Hiislnlncil. Childish Truancy. At 7:30 : o'clock last night thcro were four- Icon members of. the city council present In iho council chamber. There was a restless taovoniont in a group composed of La wry , ICmpnr , Ford , Boyd nnd O'Connor ' , thnt was pixthcrcd In ono corner of the room. The members of the caucus , apparently by mu- hinl consent , bcRan caging toward tlio door. President Leo observed the movement and called the council to order at ten minutes before 8 o'clock , a little earlier than the usual time , Intending , evidently , to catch Iho members before they could got away. Ho was too late , howeVer , us the roll call the wed only nlno mombora proacat , viz : Policy , Kurnham , Cliaftio , Counsman , Bchrlvcr , Davis , Sanders , Wlioolor and Leo. 5'hls was ono short of tlio numdcr requisite tor a quorum , nnd It was evidently for the purpose of preventing a meeting that the had departed. While the roll was group called , the group hold a consultation under the electric" light. When It was an nounced that there was not a quorum pres ent , on Mr. Wheeler's ' motion , Sorgoantrat- nrms Uutlor was sent out to corral the delinquent members. Ho returned in a few minutes with the Informa tion that ho had caught a vision of four coattails - tails dlsapponrlne around the corner and up Capitol ovonuo , but had been unable to find pny of the missing mombors. Mr. ClmlTco then Introduced a resolution authorizing Captain Cormuck to assist Iho serjoaut-at- nnns to arrest and bring before the council nny of the mlsslug members. Street Com- failsslonor Kent and Sidewalk Inspector Allan wcro appointed deputies to guard the floors of the council chamber to prevent any of the members present from leaving the chamber. Captain Cormack sent Sergeant Mostvn nnd Ofllccrs Ellis and Cusick to as- Bist tno sergeant-anirms in his search for the truants. About tills time "Judge' ! Has- cell stuck his nose in at the door , got an ink ling of the situation niul started out to look up an addition to his hundred gasoline lamps thutoro being burned during the day and nro out at night on the rabbit tracks in the puburbs. It began to look like an all-night ptsion and the members prcsout commenced to make arrangements accordingly. Mr. Bcbrivor tolouhoucd to his wife that ho would not be homo till morning , and Mr. Davis sent out for thrco otietiro decks anil a V x of cigars. "This thlngh might as well lie stopped right bore as any other time , " Bald Mr. Hurnlmm. "If these members com inenco this sort of baby play they can keep it lp all summer. Wo had bettor stay right lioro until wo get these members back. The council lias perfect authority to kilnco thorn under arrest and I'm la favor of having it done. " Mayor Broatch was present ana took matters very coolly. 'Tho council has authority , no doubt , to pun ish tbo absent members , who loft for the pur pose , plainly , of 'breaking up the quorum. They nro only hurting themselves by this way of acting. They ought to stand up and ehow thoircolors. . If they can't curry their picrisuro , they should uot try to defeat other business. There are matters before the council of moro Importance than the mid night closing ordinance. I am in favor of batting It out and settling the matter once 3for aU. " At this point a message was ro- i * lvcd from Captain Woods , stating that Councilmcn Kospar , Ford , Lowry , O'Connor , ' Hnydor and Boyd hod token the motor for Council Bluffs. The report was not credited to any appreciable extent. Councilman Davis Opened a' fresh eucljre deck , and President jLco setit out for a'pigs'In. clover puzzlo. Mr. & Shriver dropped into poetry , and had got as * " ( Turns- } * , "Ten little councilmen standing in a line , j. Jtuscall cut a sneak and then there wcro nlno , " when ho was stopped by a movement on the part of the spectators that uiado it wise for iiim to desist. ty , The cnuso of the loolc up was the knowl edge that the mayor's veto of the ordinance IF repealing the midnight closing order would li ? uo presented. The tou men who voted for the repeal of the ordinance despaired of securing - curing the twelve votes necessary to pass the ordinance ever the mayor's veto and I took this'peculiar method of revenging themselves upon the other members of the council. The mayor's vuto message was as follows : "To tlio Honorable , the City Council of the City of Omaha Gentlemen : I have the honor to return herewith , without my ap proval , an ordinance entitled 'An ordlnanco to repeal section 21 of ordinance No. 4S. ) , Chase's compiled ordinances. This ordlnanco not only repeals the provis ions requiring the saloons to close at mid- pight , but it also repeals ( ho provisions of tno ordinance carrying into effect the lawo of Ibis state with regard to closing on the Sab- Vath day. The passage of tuls ordinance would bo In my Judgment a very unwlso measure and diametrically opposed to the true interests of the liquor dealers in this city. It ciiu benefit loss than half a dozen Baleen Keepers , several of whom have been well knov/n in the community as violators of the law , and opposed to anything and every thing in the direction of good government njlfl good morals. With ver.V few exceptions the hour of midnight should ilnd men taking that rest which is necessary to a proper por- - * Jorinanco of tlielr labors during the dav fol- Jdwlng. Most mon who prowl about the streets after midnight are proper subjects , ( Or police surveillance , and are bent upon the 'Commission of erlme. Kospcctfully , W. J. BHOATCII , Mayor. " At 910 : ! o'clock the sorgoant-at-arms re turned and reported his inability to find any " of the missing members. * "Did you go to all their houses ) " asked President Loo. "Wo did. " ' " "Tho saloons1 ) ' "Yes , sir. " "The opera houses I" "Yes , sir. " ' "Thon where uro they ! " "I don't know. " "Thanks. " "Don't mention it. " " 1 won't. " At 10 o'clock the cheering repflit ivak re ceived that Juugo Hnscall had been cornered at Ed Mnnrcr's saloon whllo regal I tip ; a crowd of friends with an account of his ea- papo from the city ball und how ho bad baf- Hod pursuit by the police. Sergeant Ormsby find Oflluor Ellis rudely interrupted his rhetorical effort , placed him under arrest mid culled thu patrol wagon. Thcro was a delay of half an hour before the patrol Vrnuon returned. It didn't contain Mr. Han- call , who sent a message that ho would . rather not ride In Seuvoy's buggy , but would walk. Ho soon made tits' apnoaranco , locked units , with Sorgoant-nt-Aruis liutlor. "VV'hon ho entered thn council chamber ho took a seat in tlio audience nnd answered ' 'absent , " wnon the clerk called the roll. "Councilman Haccull will como Inslda the railing , " said President Lee , Hut the Invi tation was not accented. "Thu sorKeaut-at-armi will bring Council- tnan Uosuull before tlio councilBaiiLLou. ; Mr. Hiiscall refused to come Insldo until the rule of the council , requiring members to bo Innldo the bar , was read. 'I mu us much la the council now as 1 will bo Inside the railing. That ntlllug is an iai- Kinao line , the aino as the equator Is. " The I'rusldont "Tlio sorgoant-at-nrras VrllJ brlnp the member inside. If bo is out- raod bo has hU wanner of redress. " The surccant-at-urms and Mr. Hascall then hail a bll'id-man's-buff matlneo in the eorner , the councilman climbing ever the railing at oaoh approach of tbo oflloer , and rulurulnp to tha audlcnco tide of the rail when Butlor'ft turned hla back. Mr. Wheeler "Don't bo a d n fool Has- ealU Como Inside. " Mre Hoscall "You'ro a d n fool your own Kllf. Shut up. " Mr.VUoolor "The gentlemen Is in contempt - tempt of Hie council. " Mr. Hancall "Uou't you talk about con. tempt. " 'i'ho mayor's veto message- was read , and Mr , Hascall arose to speak. "J putvo u right to spoilt.

Ho has committed a fraud upon the saloon people by whoso votoa ho WAS elected to of- flcoupon pledges that ho hns now violated. Ho has , by a violation of pledges and by falsa pretenses , committed the most damn a- bio outrage upon nil principles of right. " The President Tlio gentleman will como to order. Wheeler I arlso to a point of order nnd want Mr. Hascall to take bin scat. Mr. Hascall Take your 6\vn scot. Mr. Hascall then called for a rending of the message , alter which ho renewed hU remarks - marks , "Did It over occur to this peanut " The Choir The gentleman will como to ordor. ' Did it over occur to any man , " modified Mr. Hascall , "that this council has no au thority to repeal a state low I The mayor speaks of this ordinance repealing the state law. What bosh. Is the mayor and the council greater than the governor nnd legis lature i" In the face of frequent calls to order nnd Interruptions by the chair , Mr. Hascall con tinued his remarks. Ho wont into a philosophical consideration of the dlfforcnco between the stickler for law enforcement nnd the temperate business man. Ho then told a story of Horace Orccly nnd his cor respondence with Tom Murray. Then fol lowed n history of the Egyptian war nnd the prohibitory law In Iowa. Ho nbusod the mnyor personally nnd every b ody else con nected with the city government. Ho kept up his tlrndo until II o'clock , when ho was shut off. Mr. Hnscall then attempted to leave the room but was stopped by un onlcor at the door aud the regular business was proceeded with. The veto of the mayor was sustained , Davis , Burnham , Bailey. Shriver , Whcolcr and Leo voting to sustain the veto and Mr. Hnscall voting against it. The appointment of E. A. Blum as city wciRhniaster on Nicholas street was con firmed. A nuuibor of estimates of amounts duo contractors were presented by the board of public works aud approved. The city attorney reported certain amend ments to the ordinance granting tlio right of way across the Eleventh street viaduct , nnd the ordinance was referred to the committee on viaducts and railways. A petition from the Omaha Street Hallway company asking for tlio privilege of constructing a double track across the Eleventh street viaduct for the operation of un electric rall.vtiy south on Eleventh street was referred to the aarno committee. The report of the city gas inspector for the month of March , reporting n marked im provement In the street lighting service , was received. The petition of Charles Ogdcn nnd oth rs asking for the privilege of grading Twenty- llfth street from Pacific street to Leaven- worth street , was referred to the committee on grades nnd grading. At midnight the council adjourned until Friday evening. ix REMAINS The Union Pacific Pushing Its Claim fur 1'ugot Sound TralHr. In view of the muo between the Union and Northern PaciQc for passenger trafllo to Pugct sound points , the full details of which appeared in THE BEE of Monday , the Union Pacific yesterday issued the following circular to connectintr lines : "In divisions , wo will require from our Missouri river ter minals , as an arbitrary , to rates in effect from St. Paul , viz : First-class unlimited , $70 ; limited. { CO ; second-class , $3.5 to all PuRtjt sound points. In divisions , wo will uccopt from our Missouri river terminals the same proportions as wo now accept on busi ness to Portland proper. Wo pledge our selves to fully protect both the transporta tion of passengers and their baggage through to destination points on Puget sound. Wo do not ask j cm for a ticket representation reading over the Northern Pacific from Port land , therefore any objections that line may offer against our request is entirely extran eous , and we must respectfully urge that you comply with our rate circular. Please advise the action you will take in the matter. " An ofllcial of the Union Pacific stated yes terday tbattho lignt made by the Northern Pacillo was unwarranted and that its pro tests would not bo countenanced. The fact that the NorthernPacific , baa resolved to compel the Union Paciflc to withdraw and with the Union Pacillo equally firm in Its de termination to remain leads to the belief that a rate-war may result , the obligations of the presidents' agreement notwithstanding. Pioneer Foreman Discharged. Foreman Frank Johnson , who has had charge of the section men lu the yards of the Union Pacific at this place for the past nine teen years , was quietly retired to private life nt 0 o'clock Monday evening. At the tirna specifiedAssistant Headmaster Kyan stopped up to him aud handed him his time check , informing him that his services were no longer required. Johnson asked the road- master why bo bad been dismissed. Tlio latter declined to advance any reason. John son is spoken ot as a steady and reliable man. It is intimated that when the Union Pacific , about four months ago , reduced the wages of section mon at many points , John son interceded for his men , and secured $1.40 per day instead of $1.23. Johnson will ap peal to tlio management , and it is intimated thnt ho will bo backed up by the Knights of Labor. Licntls Kept Busy. The action of the Rock Island in reducing the rate on ere nnd bullion from $ S to 13 par ton between Colorado nnd Missouri river points , directly effects the Union Pacific , Burlington , Atcliiiou , Topeka & Santa Fo and the Missouri Pacific. It is for this pur pose that the coterie of ofilcials loft Omaha for Denver Sunday. Chairman Leeds of the Transcontinental association , has been called upon to arbitrate. XHE GOL KN COA8T. It U Dull ComparoU Wlih'tlia Be.ctlon AVIioro Omaha Thrives. Fred . Pickens , chief clerk la tbo post- ofllcauus returned from a sojourn of eighteen days in California. Mr. Pickens wont directly from Omaha to Portland , tbo trip consuming live days. At Portland ho took a steamer for San Francisco. Mr , Piokens lias uiado the trip three or four times , but. says bo finds new objects of in terest every time ho repeats the journey. San Francisco , bo said , is a place that doesn't change much , he finds it the same every time ho goes there. The most notable im provement being made there nt this time U the erection of tbo new Chronicle building , which , when completed , will bo the finest piece of architecture on' the coast. It is cloven stories high , but narrow , greatly resembling a tower. From San Fran cisco bo went to Lei Angeles , where bo found many former Omahans. The Omaha colony , as It U called there , ho says. Is most delightfully situated , tbo families all being located in a radius of a few blocks. Ho visited the families of Hobert Harris , E. v * . Smith , John I. Redlck , M. G. McCoou and , Iudio John H. Porter. Tbasa all have beautiful homes , the grounds being bowers of P'tliu trees anil llowors. TKny are all very much pleased with the climate and tlio country , aud are in ever.v way s.uUlled with their lot. They spend their time in driving about the country , vis iting the sea rimit und social divorsions. There Is a norpoluul spring there , and tbo life they load Is a lackadaisical , listless , dreamy ono , from which they do not seem to care to be awakened. AU California is a flower garden now , ho said , mid more especially is thU true of the San Joaquin valley , which resembles a Brussels carpet , so varied U tbo color of the flowers. The crop prospects he considered excellent for an abundant harvest , The \yintor wheat Is already in tuo head , and spring- wheat bos grown sovea or eight inches high. The cities nut there , and especially Los AiiRulos , are suffering from the reaction of real estate booms , and are very quint , differ- in ) ; widely , bo said , from the bustling Omuba , whoso prospects for the future Mr. Picltens considers butter than these of uny city to tbo westward.

Within the past few weeks the street rail ways have paid , under protest , into the city treasury the sumot $33,00 ! ! , In accordance with an ordlnanco recently passed by tbo council. The number of the measure is 2,000. It provides for tbo payment by street railways Into the treasury a certain amount p'or square yard for paving streets wherever Bucli railway has displaced , the paving by constructing tracks thereon. The ordinance is somewhat Indefinite and unspecified us to what fund tbo money thus paid Into the treasury shall go. A portion of It Is intended to go into the intersection fund , nnd a part of it to bo refunded to tax payers who have heretofore been assessed for the paving of such street that bus been paved. But just what proportion is to go to the taxpayers is a conundrum. Consequently quently there is confusion in the o dices of tbo treasurer and city comptroller. As the street railway companies have paid the money for displacing tbo paved streets under protest , City Treasurer Rush stated yesterday that tha council will bo obliged to adopt some other method , as tbo railway corporations had taken the matter to the courts for adjustment , and It was his belief that they would bo victorious la the fight.

Lj How the I&pWlmcnt Succeeds in Knnsns GnUi\nlrliiK Wrought Iron Tamil IIR by Klco- It Was Kqllpy'fl Invention. The following' Interesting history of the Bossombr Invention is from the Blncksmith and Wheelwright , nnd shows Unit the process thnt Immortal ized the nnmo of Henry Bessemer txnd pained him hla knighthood was an American invention. The fact that Sir Henry Bessemer was obliged to divide his Interest with Mr. Kelly Is the strongest kind ot evidence in support of his claim. The late Wm. Kelly , of Louisville , Ky. , was ono of the pioneer furiiaeomon of Kentucky. lie and his brother oper ated for many years the Genuine fur naces near Eddyvillo , and Sowanoonoar Kuttawa. While experimenting ho conceived that the re fail upof the metal that is , the converting of cast iron into malleable iron could bo accom plished with the oxygen of the air. With great faith in this idea , at heavy expense , ho constructed as well as ho could with the moans at hand an appar atus for blowing blasts of heated air into the molten metal while it remained in the hearth or oven in which it had boon melted from the crude ore. At first a number i of experiments resulted in disappointments , owing entirely to the imperfection of the blow ing or blast apparatus , but his great confidence in his theory impelled him to try again. "About tins time , " says a Paducah , Ky. , editor , "two Englishmen , who wore exports in smelting and refining iron , arrived at his works and wore given employment With the assistance of those men Mr. Kellv made a more perfect blast or blowing cylinder , and after making a dozen or moro experiments ho exclaimed - claimed 'Eureka ! ' and immediately sent invitations to a number of his friends to come to his works and wit ness the wonder of making horseshoes out of iron taken from the hearth or oven of a common blast or smelting furnace. Many wont at the appointed time , more out of respect to Mr. Kelly's invitation than from a faith in seeing him demonstrate that ho had discovered what Judge Kelly , of Pennsylvania , has since termed the greatest invention of the ago. ' . . "Tho writer of ; this , then a small lad , wont on that odcasibn with his father , and remembers ' .wttll to have soon a brawny blacksnVitn , take from the bcoth- ing oven of yio jpowanoo furnace a quantity of molten qr liquid iron to his shop , and after cporuiittintr it to some what cool , ho placed it on his anvil , and with the merry ripg of his hammer produced and thfoW.down at the feet of the amazed spectators in twenty min utes a perfect horseshoe. Then ho got moro of the liquid iron , made some nails , and with those ho fastened Iho shoo ho had just before made to the foot of a horsO'bolxHiffiryj to ono of the in vited witnesses.-1. U "Mr. Kelly -had 'expended vast sums of money in niSjSSpTjrimontS , which em barrassed his firrn [ , and in throe months after his grand discovery it made an as signment and all work was stopped. The two Englishmen who hud assisted him returned at once to Eng land , and soon found employ ment at a furnace at which Mr. Bessemer somor was then , and had been for some time , trying to work out the same problem which Mr. Kelly had a few months before solved. Of course those workmen imparted to Mr. Bessemer the secrets of Mr. Kelly's discovery. Mr. Bessemer without delay adopted Mr. Kelly's methods and obtained the same results. Bessemer was then rich , Kelly was poor. Bessemer at once ap plied for a patent in England , at the same time filed a caveat for one at Washington. Kelly also applied at Washington for a patent about the same time. A lawsuit ensued between the two claimants and resulted in a com promise by which Mr. Kelly got only a small per cent of the royalty on the patent in this country. Had it not boon for Mr. Bossomor's wealthy backers Mr. Kohy would have won the suit and enjoyed the full benefits and blessings of his grand discovery , to which ho was justly entitled. " Domesticating the Buffalo. Chief among the ranches whore the domestication of the buffalo is taking place and its crosses are being bred is that of Mr. C. J. Jones , at Garden City , Kan. , says a writer in the Popular Sci ence Monthly. The nucleus of his herd , seven calves and fifteen adult buffaloes , wore run down by him on the Texas plains , two or three hundred miloa from Garden City. Ho has crossed Texan cows with buffalo bulls , and obtained excellent results. In November hist ho acquired a herd of eighty-three animals from Mr. Samuel L. Bodson , of Stony Mountain , sixteen miles south from Winnipeg , the capital of Manitoba. The crosses in thin herd wore from Galloway or polled Angus cattle ; they are much superior to those from Texan strains. Mr. Bedson's herd dated from 1877 , when ho first corraled a buffalo bull and four heifers. Those live animals wore part of the small rem nant grazlntr in the vast region between the Saskatchewan river and the inter national boundary , the region now traversed by the Canadian Pacific rail way. In that'immense plain the slaughter of' buffaloes , duo to the trafllo of the Hudson's Bay , company , had boo'n for two centuries much moro active than th&t on American soil. In eleven years Mr. Bedson's herd increased from fiyo to ninety-seven , fourteen of the number having boon disposed of boforo.tho sale of Mr. 'Jones. , _ GJ the eighty-three which ho bougljt tlforo are eight adult crosses , or grades as they are called , and seventeen calves of 1888 , pure and grade. It is .Mr.j Jones' intention thoroughly to IOB | various strains , with , a view to ascertain which are best adapted for grazing herds on the plains of the northwest- producing a robe ho has already tuttilii'od what ho calls a "seal-skin bulfulp , " from crossing with block cattle. . ' ' At Silver Heights , five miles from Winnipeg , Sir Donald Smith hus a small herd ot bulfulo-crosses presenting unique points in beauty and doeility. Elsewhere in Manitoba , in Alberta territory , and in Minnesota , it is pro posed to parallel Mr. Jones' enterprise of Garden City. _ Boleiitlllu Notes.

Suing the County Treasurers. Four DODOK , In. , April 10. ( .Spoclnl Tele gram to Tni ! UIB : ] The Palace Car com pany of Illinois hn'j Instituted suits ntrahist a number of county trcaeurers in Iowa to pre vent the collection of tnxos on Pullman rollIng - Ing stock on the Illinois Central road. Treasurer Uynn , of Webster county , was to day served with a uotico demanding his np- pcnrnnco before Judge Love , of the supreme court , at low.i City , April 9 , to show reason why ho should not bo punished tor contempt of court. The contempt nllcgod was in volved In Treasurer Uyan's refusal to obey an injunction secured from Judge Brewer by the Pullmiin car company , preventing Treasurer Hyan from collecting a. portion or the Illinois Central railroad tax claimed by the company to be on Pullman stoclc nnd not owned by the road. The facts whlcti led up to this legal transaction are that shortly before fore the 1st of April the Central company notified the treasurer that It would not pay taxes on its property at the valuation given the treasurer by the slate executive council. This valuation was ? 5f , > 5U rer mllo. The Central company claimed that ยง 50 per milo of this assessment was on stock belonging tii the Pullman company , and th.it ho should look to It for the taxes. Treasurer Uynn mildly but firmly insisted that ho would col lect tli8 taxes as shown on his books. An injunction against this \vas granted by Judge Brewer until the case could como to court , nnd tbo Central company tendered payment of its taxes , minus this amount. Treasurer Hyan , after consulting local attorneys and getting the advioo of the secretary of the state executive council , refused to accept it. This has been construed into contempt of court , and the ubovo action resulted. This case , which will bo made a test one , is most Important , involving over $15,000 annual taxes along the Illinois Central line alone. Similar actions have been brought against other county treasurers. A Bootlegging Scheme.

Frank Beard , a caricaturist , who was atone ono time engaged as an artist on the Vow York ' 'Judge , " amused a largo audience last night in the auditorium of tjio Young Men's Christian Association building. Mr. Beard is a man on the afternoon side of life , but ho has n facetious way about his descriptive drawings and explanations that amuses an audience. Last night his subject was "Challc Talks. " Everybody present was well pleased. Mr. Heard showed the piocessos employed bv artists and caricaturists to develop u de sign with chalk , and by tallc. Ho ex plained the mental process as well us the mechanical for a design. Ho first went on a suggestion , then on a sit uation , then u combination and then an appli cation to develop an idea , Then ho pictured the creation of power to carry out the idea. Upon largo sheets of ordinary paper ho produced eighteen or twenty dif ferent humorous and ludicrous pic tures during the evening's entertainment. ' Ono was the face of Ben Uatler , o chalk sketch that all artists have a hankering to tmt before the public. Ho also had a coast BCOIIO and un unilu ; of pictures explaining thnt a caricaturist was superior to un oil puintor on account of ingenuity of originality. The Salvation army woman was also mr- traycd and the mischluvous small boy. One of the happiest pieces of work was what Urn caricaturist called imagination of a woman sitting on a piuno stool , performing a piece on un instrument supposed to bo invisible , but by a few strokes it was very plain that the woman was Boated on the stool playing on the seat of the pants of u'bud boy.i , ' , The entertainment was concluded by a double sketch of d man imd yomun , ouch drawn at the same time by the right and left ; , h'aml. lleeohnm Pillscures ncrVous and blllious li.

London Pick Me-Up , a very bright weekly which hns recently entered the lists with Punch us a contestant for hon ors in the humorous line , as understood in England , prints the following clover satire : LONDOIT , March 23. To the Editor of Pick Mo-Up : Sir , Knowing what : v thorough fraud I should say , how thoroughly you are interested in lite rary frauds , I wish to point out a very extraordinary cipher I have found out , in the very last place you could have ex pected to lind it. But , of course , that's exactly what you would have expected. If you will turn to page JJ21 of the original edition of the great lexico grapher's immortal work , and count 42 from tlio top of the llrst column , you will find the pronoun "I" standing en tirely hy itself. If you take half 422 you got the remarkable product , 211. ( If you doubt mo , work it out yourself , or ask any city man who is used to fig ures to do it for you. ) On pace 211 in the second column , 212th word from tlio top ( of course , it should have boon 211 , but this must bo duo to a printer's error ) you will find the word "did. " Those themselves , by , mean little ; but my patient bcarch. and by ad ding 422 to 211 , you get 03H ( this may bo verified as in the first case , or you can take my word for it ) . From these fig ures sulwtract S. ono of the three fig ures in question , and you have 030. I take thrco because wo got the third word here , on page OHO. This , you will find is "not , " a word of three letters ; a significant series of , shall I say to conciliate scolTors coincidcncos , Multiply 030 by three , and what is the result ? Why , 1800 ! 1 challenge anyone ono to disprove it ! Counting from now it is ono year only to that dato. Another coincidence. Yes , u aignili- cant fact within itself ; but how mucn moro so whan wo deduct four times 3 from it 12 , leaving a balance of 1878 , and on page 1878 , in the second column , and again , mybtorious coincidoncoVj ( the fourth word is ' 'write. ' ' Multiplying the aforesaid 12 by itself , and substracting the 141 from 1878 wo got 1731 , and on that very page , Iho twelfth line of the first column , wo get that remarkable word "this. " ( Jutting oft the last two figures of 1734 wo got 17. Substraut 1 and wo htivo 10 , anil on page 10 also , in the fij'dt column , JH the little word ' 'book. " Now lot us see what sentence thobo little words form : ' , ' 1 did not write this book. " There you have it under his own hand. Now , sir , 1 say this is a discovery that will put all similar discoveries to everlasting shamo. J do not wish to rob the illus trious philosopher of Kleot street of ono laurel leaf in hla chaplet of fame , but if over a chap lot a cipher ( aye , and a cun ningly concealed cipher ) into a book before fore ( or behind for the mutter of thnt ( it JH clmir that ho has done bo in this case.
