Ho .had just discovered ft display of "Bcthcsda Water , " shipped in from \Vaukoslm , Wis. , some 500 miles distant. A sign near by , conspicuously displayed , said : " 4 carloads sold last season m Omaha. " Then Mr. Page proceeded to give the Coliseum representative of Sherman & McConnell , the Omaha agents for Bothcstia , an old time "jacking up , " and was only pacified when told that mineral water and sunshine- cannot bo manufactured by homo industry , and that although Sherman & McConnell displayed about 75 different kinds of natural mineral water from all parts of the earth , yet their 10-minuto headache capsules were manufactured in their Dodge street laboratory , and sold to anyone ono who desired a sure euro for head ache.

The sequel to a peculiar elopement which took place in Now York in July , 1891 , is being unfolded In the superior court of that city. Elsie Van llorno Arnholm , 17 years old , is seeking for the annulment of her marriage to Ed ward Arnhoim , her young husband. Elsie met Arnholm July 23 , 1891. They were driven to the IIolTman house , where they entered into a verbal agree ment of marriage. Thence they went to the Metropolitan hotel , whore they remained two days. They afterward wont through a formal ceremony of mar- ringo at the city hall. Then it was that she discovered that instead of being rich , as ho had represented himself , his fortune amounted to $2.34. He in turn learned that his wife was not an heiress , as ho had supposed. A separation fol lowed , and she went home. Edward was arrested July 29 , six days after the mar riage , on a charge of misappropriating money belonging to his employer , Samuel Cohen. Young Arnhoim had been arrested four times before on charges of dishonesty. This time Re corder Smytho sent him to the Elmira reformatory , to remain until ho was 21 years old. Ho will bo released in a few weeks. Since her sensational escapade Elsie has been at" a boarding school. She is willing to have the marriage an nulled , and her parents have taken the stops necessary to bring it about. m I can sell you an elegant cottage and lot near the park , with beautiful sur roundings and a delightful neighbor hood , at price so cheap you can't afford to let the opportunity pass.

[ Special to Tun Jrie.Away ] from the monotonous magnlll- enco , the incomprehensive expanse of the vast whlto palaces turns the crowd. The hrongs In the state buildings and the nasses on the plaisanco nro evidence of the lopulnr Inclination. The foreign groups nnd ho "freaks" of the Midway plnlsanco are ho attractions above nil now. Ii Cnlro Street. All else In the Midway , which Is a broad tatcincnt , too , has been overshadowed smco ho opening of Cairo street The portals of ho miniature Egyptian metropolis are dally besieged by as many thousands as visit the ilaisanco , for "Cairo" is an attraction most rrcsistlblo. From the exterior thcro Is a view of the mosnuo nnd Its beautiful mlnn- ot , with nn occasional gllmpso of the lovo- Ick mozzin , who lost his heart to an Ohio ypowrltcr , ns ho Is calling the followers of Mahomet to prayer. The entrance fee is v trifle , though before the pilgrim concludes It is the old story of cost- ng a penny to got in nnd n > ouud to got out , for Cairo has Its wheels vlthln wheels. Yet thrco hours may bo spent In the street without n thought of tbo lassing timo. It Is no representation of nny mrticulnr street , the Idea carried out by the thedivonl architect Being to reproduce vari ous styles of structures of various ages. The mosque is a copy of that of Sultan Knit Bay. nnd Its graceful inlnarot that of Abou Bahko Mazar. Across the way there is the structure that was a lulacoln the days when Gamau el dlnel Yahter , a wealthy Arab , purchased It , nnd that wns 300 years ago. It Is said to bo a faithful reproduction. In n largo court yard , to which runs a narrow and crooked street from the under portion where are the lumcrous bazaars , a number of attractions nro grouped. Thcro nro in the front of it two obelisks soventy-flvo feet In height , covered with hieroglyphics. The interior decoration Is given up to a description of men who lived about the time of the second Hamescs. In the rear are the statue of Thir nnd the sarco phagus of the sacred bulls. A dozen nusicians make matters lively in this vlciu- ty. In another portion of the grand court an astrologer's tent is located. The boss fakir stands In front nnd balances nn empty egg on the tip of his nose until a sufllciont crowd gathers , when ho takes the party into his tent and performs in n manner that Is warranted to result in nervous prostration of the timid spectator. The conjuror sticks spikes through his cheeks , gouges out bis eyes and replaces them , and all in all earns the potty stipend of backsheesh conceded by the manager of the streot. Thry Form a Weird Collection. Tnc Nubian and Soudanese "dancers , " so called , in huts having triangular entrances and requiring acrobatic exertion to pene trate , are a weird collodion. Thrco genera tions are represented , grandpa and the 2- year-old babe executing the distinctively African steps and the balance of the party maintaining a monotonous thumping oh pigskin tom-toms , containing nbout as much music as there is in a hoarse bullfrog after a bad night. The chief buck wears a heavy matting of goat hoofs on the south when he is not facing that way , and wh n. a visitor fails to drop a nickel in the slot the inky Imp'bout faces nnd rattles the cones under his very noso. The charcoal beauties and the picaniunies manage to busy themselves collecting backhecsh , all of which is turned in forthwith to the treasurer , for there is a man in oacn hut who acts in that capacity. Ono of the girls said in fairly good English that ho was the "father" of the entire party. These people dwell continually In their huts. They subsist from a general pot of pork and beans and sleep on a shelf which forms the second story of the huts. Cairo also has its Egyptian theaters. The stage is much wider than the nverngo stage of American theaters , but it does not boast great depth. A bait dozen jet-black eunuchs lolling lazily on luxurious looking divans render the music , the same distinctive Oriental sing song that is heard In the Turkish theater. Dancing forms the chiefest portion of the entertainment hero. A number of really beautiful types of Cairo girls who are pro- licicnt in their particular style of beating time give frequent performances. The feature of the show is tire act of Mile. Phrydon. As many people know the Egyi > - tian girl dances upon the theory of there being just as much poetry in the motion of her body ns in the tripping of the feet. Miss Phrydon picks up a chair with her teeth and holds it iu a perpendicular p sition as she trips about. After awhllo she lays prone upon the floor , with the chair still In her strong jaws , and then goes through a scries of oody motions that are altogether fantastic and of questionable propriety. The Turkish theater draws but moro men than women go. The women are tossing many a quarter to the grizzled old fakir who squats in the sand , goes through strange motions and reads his customer's future in the stars. Ho has an intorpreter. Children revel m rides nbout the street on Egyptian donkeys. There is n brood of camels , too , with native drivers who have doubtless oft traversed Sahnr.i's nrld waste. Thcro Is every thing Imaginable that could coma from Egypt on sale In the ba/aars , from n package of stinking cigarettes to n copy of the Alkoran of Mahommed , There is a photograph gallery , where photographs of the youthful Abbas , Egypt's now khedive - dive , may bo purchased for $1. They are copyrighted. Caias street abounds in attraction - traction nnd interest. It is the best of all the plalsnnco side shows. Amusing In Their Ignorance. Amusing In the extreme is the concoptlon some people who have never been hero have formed of the extent of the exposi tion. Many who look ns if they ought to know bettor will display the most nmnzlng Ignorance. I hoard n party ol fnir women going out on an Illinois Central train planning the day's trip. It was about 10 o'clock , ' First wo must go through the art gal lery , " ono remarked. Sightseer No , 2 said the best thing to do after that was to make an Inspection of the state buildings. "And then we'll see what's In the Manu factures building and the Transportation , Wo must see those funny old towns , you know , and I want to see the ceramics. " The other woman said that If they spent a little while on the Midway Plulsanco that ought to complete a pretty good day's trip The others agreed that It would. Perhaps they could accomplish it In three weeks If they didn't ' examine everything minutely , It is In line with an actual occur rence hero the past week. A St. Pau woman wrote to a friend hero saying she would bo nt the fair on a certain day ana she desired to meet her friend "in the Man ufactures building I" She might as wol have made it moro definite by saying , "I'l meet you in Chicago. " People get lost ii the main building. The two biggest fights of the exposltlon- asldo from the Sunday closing war have been settled. As was written here some weeks ago In the way of n prediction , Theodore doro Thomas came out n top and the light against the director of music remains noth ing but a faint recollection. The trouble over the award system , which threatened o serious outcome , owing to the opposition among foreign nations to the one man sys tern , has resulted in n comedown 01 tha part of Chairman John Boyil Timelier , and the establishment of the Jurj plan so much in demand , The business o the great exposition now appears to bo run nlng along on well oiled wheels. It has reached a degree of perfection that allowet the directory during the week to look nbou nud make u reductionniii expenses whcro 1 was possible. In the future , so it has bcci estimated , the expenses will not much exceed coed J100.000 n week. The oftlclals an highly pleased with the showing for UK month of Mny. The neUres nro said to show a clean profit of 250,000. notwithstanding the unusual outlay , The best dnyi nro yet to corao. There an something llko seventy spccla celebrations on tbo amis , which will draw musually Inruoi nttendances. There are many financiers ( .who concluded long slnco hnt it wns almost Impossible for the oxpo- ition company bj como out with expenses pnltl.

IEX.IS TO TUB GVLF. Clmrnctcrhtlc * of Towns niul Cltlci Alone the Itoutc. HOUSTON , Tox. , May S3. [ Correspondence of Tun Br.n.l I crossed the Hed river , the south boundary line of Indian Territory , into i'osas nbout sundown , continuing my journey southwnrd through the "Lono Stnr state , " The northern part of It , through which I liasscd before the shades of night had fully set in , is somewhat similar in general np- icaranco to the southern part of Indian Territory. Its scenery is. however , much ess picturesque nnd tno soil Is not , I tin nk , so fertile. Arrived nt Fort Worth nbout 11 o'clock p. m. Next morning I started out to see the town nnd before the sun hnd ag nin set I had "taken It all in. " I had not been eng "upon the wing" till the music In the air ami the fragrance in the breczo gave mo ilcasmg proof of being then and there in the ' .and of sunny skies , singing birds , roses ; are nnd vincelad bowers. The melody of song seemed to mingle , so to speak , with * the sweet' perfume of flowers , so that the enjoyment of the ono was accompanied by the delight iffordcd by ttio other. Fort Worth Is in many respects n beautiful little city. It is located upon a piece of rolling upland some ilfty or sixty foot nbovo the level of the Trinity river which flows along the west , thcnco along the north and thsnco along the 3ast sides of its incorporated territory. The tanks of the river are heavily frlugod with timber , thus breaking the monotony of , and iddlng beauty to the immediate surround ings. The site of the city was originally ono of a cordon of military postS'oxtcnding from the Red river to the Hio Grande , nnd estab lished about 1849 as a means of protecting settlers against Indians nnd bands of marauders from Mexico. The fort whoso establishment antedated the founding of the city several years was named after Gen eral William J.'Worth , who had distinguished himself during the war with Mexico. The city afterwards adopted nnd has since re tained the uamo of the fort. The first houses in the city were built in 1853. Its population at different times since then has boon as follows : It was 350 in 1S01. in lb"i ( it was 1,073 In 1870 it was 8W5. In 188'J It was 25,301 while at the present time at is about 30,000 , though moro is claimed. Its streets are crooked and irrccular in their courses. Some of them nro macadamized and some are paved with gravel. The paving of sidewalks con sists princinallyof gravel. Neither streets nor sidewalks are so extensively paved as in Omaha. It has n number of business build ings ranging from four to six stories high. Several of its'hotols are structures of con siderable si/o , and will compare favorably with these of much larger placps. Its dwelling houses are constructed almost ex clusively of wood. Many of them are largo nnd costly and would ao credit to any citir. With several railroaas entering the city , five different street railway companies , a packery with n capacity of 2,000 cattle and 500 hogs per day , a brewing company with a capital of $300,000 , n cotton mill giving em ployment to 800 hands , seven banks with an aggregate capital of $2,800,000 , three dally newspapers , six weeklies and three monthlies , twelve public schools under con trol of from two to twelve teachers , thirteen select and private schools , thirty churches and nn equal number of Sunday schools , and nbout sixty miscellaneous clubs , orders and societies. Fort Worth ought to and doubtless will con tinue a prosperous and growing city. Remaining there another night , I took my departure , pursulnjfmy journey till I reached the town of Wnllls. about 80 miles north ol Galvcston. Here I again got off the train for a night. Wallls Is a quiet little village of no importance , though in the midst of good agricultural territory. The country for a considerable distance south of Fort Worth , while well settled and in largo meas ure under cultivation , appeared dry in places , and , though not what might bo called poor land , is not of a high order of fertility. Next morning I started for Galvcston. Along the last 150 or 200 miles over which I passed the soil gave many evidences of being exceedingly fertile. Tno trrass was fresh , stood thick upon the ground and had a healthy color , the crops were good and vege tation of every kind was luxuriant. Tlila rich belt of country is , however , but thinlj settled , only a few houses are to bo seen within It , and large tracts , embracing many square miles , have novcr been touched by u plow. It has been and still is held in 1m. menso bodies by ranch men , who hnvo used it for grazing purposes alono. During the last few years people from the north have been coming down hero , purchasing these lands in smaller parcels and putting them under cultivation. This has proved a bene ficial change in the existing condition ol things and if continued will start the coun try on a now career of advancement and pros porlty. I stopped at the city of Galvestor long enough to look It over in a general way , It Is situated on Gnlveston Island and com pletcly surrounded by the waters of the Gull of Mexico. The island is about twenty-five miles long and irom ono and one-Half to twc and one-half miles wido. The body of watei between it and the mainland is four or live miles wide. The ground upon which the cltj is built Is from six to ten feet above the love : of the sea. The city is well and compactly built. It commands a heavy ocean traflk and docs a largo wholesale business , Its re tall business is restricted almost exclusively within the city Itsolf. On- the soutr side of the island is a large hotel known as the "Boach Hotel' facing towards the ocean. In front of il and within tlui wnter a short distance o : the shore is a large bathiug house. Hero ii warm weather bathers nro often seen ii hundreds enjoyingttho sport of frolicking it the spray andmutf , As n strong broezu u constantly blowing northward from tbo culf the water is newly always in a state o : agitation , Hence , "meeting the breakers,1 "battling witlr.tho whlto caps' " nnd "ridlnj the waves" nro phrases frequently hean among persons , biwmlini : their tlrao nt thii seaside resorti > Ocean vessels of consider nblo size receive and unload cargoes at tin wharves. Tworrallroads cross the clmnne and connect it-with the main land. Witt respect to street' lighting , street railways public builaingBi schools , public and private churches , Sunday schools , nowepaperi and social organizations of varioui kinds , it will bear favorable comparisoi with other cities. Its climate Is said to be healthy and its atmospherictemperuturi equalized by the waters of the gulf Throughout the island , and also In the city all kinds of vegetation nro of rich and lux urlant growth. The salt water cedar flour Ishcs here nnd the oleander , a beautlfu sweet-scented flower , reaches a high dcgrei of excellence. It is of two different colors Ono Is a bright red , the other a pure white So charming docs it appear as grown lierc within sound of the ocean's ' wave , wher constantly kissed by n balmy breeze , tha Gulvcston is frequently called the "Oleande City , " Whatever may bo said of the futur of Galvoston's career , the following at leas may bo uQIrmcd with absolute conlldunco : Years may como and years way co , Hut she will always bo.

The next room is the deposit room , or , more properly speaking , the ingot room. Hero old gold , silver or jowchy nro received , of which any one can deposit to the value of not less than ? 100 nnd have It melted Into bullion , assayed nnd the next day receive In money of full value in gold coin with 10 per cent of copper alloy and no charges made for ; ho coining. On the day of our visit $500,000 .11 . silver coin was being incited over. Why ? No ouo could or would explain. It looked odd to see the apparently perfectly good 50- cent pieces shoveled into the small , red hot jowls , where the Intense heat of the furnace soon reduced the coins to a molten flro , which is stirred by small paddles held by im mense Iron pinchers in the hands of the skilled workmen , who practically "earn their broad by the sweat oC the brow. " The small paddles , as well as the bowls in which the metal is reduced to liquid , nro made of clay and plumbago. The ingots of gold and silver are 12 inelics long , 154 inches wiae nnd \i \ inch thick. The value ot the gold ingots is $1GOO nnd the rahio of the silver Ingots of the snmo size is $ J5. Tno next process through which the metal [ lasses is that of rolling intolong.thln strips. This is done by heavy rollers , under a pres sure of 250 tons. It takes thirteen times to roll gold and seventeen times to roll silver. The gold strips are now put into long copper tubes , which are then placed in a furnace until they are red hot , thcnco thrown into a vat of water , wliicli process tempers the metal. Each of these long copper tubes are liandlcd by two workmen and will hold $ ! 0,000 In gold , or S,500 ! in silver. When the gokl strips nro removed from the tubes the told is waxed and * the silver strips are ? rcascd. This is done to prevent abrasion. The metal is now ready for cutting into pieces , the size according to the denomina tion of the money to be mado. The workmen shove the long gold strips into the cutting machine , which bandies the precious metal as it would pastboara , and indeed it is quite soft , as what is loft of the strips is doubled up by the hanus of the workman and thrown into a box to be sent back to the intfot room. Ono dollar in silver and ? 20 in gold nro cut out at the rate of 185 pieces per minute , the smaller at the rate of35 pieces per minute. The round pieces of gold and silver are now passed to the cleaning room , where they are washed free from the wax and grease. IVhoro VIM tors Are Xot Allowed. Pooping into the door of the cleaning " room , which , visitors are not allowed to"enter , could be seen a box of unstamped ? 20 gold pieces. The box contained $100,000 in gold. The unstamped coins , now bright and shim mering , nro taken to the adjustinc room , where the ladies work. They nro hero ad justed to the exact weight of the coin to bo made. Should a coin prove to bo too heavy it is filed off ; if too light it coes back to bo melted over. The milling process puts the metal in blank form for stamping. 15ut first It must bo freed from oxidization , which is done by whitening. The round coins nro now ready for tbo stamping which makes the metal money. There are llvo stamping ma chines , and the dies of thcso can bu changed. Ono dollar in silver and § 20 in gold are struck off by the same machine at the rate of 5,000 per hour. The capacity of the machines is much larger than the supply of gold. But if all the machines could bo kept working in gold they could stamp $450,000 in ono hour , or * 3,150,000 in seven hours , or ? ( J45,1XX,000 ) in I00 ! working days. To look nt the largo engine - gino of 150-horsopowcr that controls the machinery used in the mint building , ono would scarce imagine H had been used for nineteen years , as It appears as bright and glittering in its polished uiotal plates as If It wore new. I'orty AUIllons Within Roach. In this great building , where $ -10,000,000 of treasure is stored away , many seemingly small economies nro practiced , yet the re sults nro quito astonishing and moro than repay the labor. The lloors of the work rooms nro covered with perforated iron floor ing in small sections. Every night these sections are removed and the floor swept. The sweepings are then worked over with acid and the yield In gold and silver amounts to $0,000 per annum. Once n year every truck aoout the building is burned , irrespec tive of its condition , nnd also the clothing worn in some of the work rooms , that not a particle of the precious metals may bo lost. Once in four years the carpets In the ad justing rooms are burned. ThoJast burning enriched the United States coffers to the ex tent of f3iJOO. Leaving the stamping room the visitor finds himself in a long atone corridor facing two vaults , whoso heavy iron doors conceal the treasures of $10,000,000 and in their mighty strength of stool and Iron seem to mock as childlih piny the ofllclal papers sealed with red wax .and marking them as belonging to the United States government. Itaro Collection of Old Coins , The guide now leads the way upstairs to the main hull , ivhoro the visitor can , if so disposed , pass A pleasant and instructive hall hour viewing the collection of rare old coins on exhibition in the reception room. The most antique among the coins is a Jew ish shekel ; obverse side , urn and Hebrew characters ; reverse side , lig trconml Hebrew characters. This coin is traced back to 100 years H. 0. The shekel is the common cur rency of that time. Tlio size is about that of n 50-ccnt piece , being worth that amount as pure silver , but In its present shape a very rare and almost priceless coin. Among the coins , which are too numerous to mention , n Pine tree shilling Is to ho seen. The coin Is not clear cut and looks little Ilka our silver coins of today , but it recalls to mind the well known storv of Captain Hull , whom the United States government em ployed to make 1ho plno tree shilling , giving him ono in every twenty. He soon grew wealthy , and when his favorlto daughter was happily maided ho gave her for her wedding dowery her weight in plno tree chllllngs , and she is said to have tipped the scales at 'J25 pounds. Two small golden spoons In the collection exclto considerable surioslty and speculation. They are said to 1mvo buon taken from Solomon's tcmplo. The spoons nro similar In nppoaranco to the dnlnty souvenir upoons of the day the bowl In the shape of a leaf , the handle entwined by a vine nnd two leaves , lly the side of the collection of coins in ono of medallions , oinct copies of the o presented to various Wroe by the United States government for their deeds of vnlor.

ROCK ISLAND , 111. , May 30. To tha Editor * of THE Bnn : Throughout the Lutheran Scandinavian congregations the present year is a year of Jubilee. Two previous centen nials of a similar nature have been observed , viz. , 1G93 and 1703. Allot the numerous local celebrations during the present year will reach a grand climax in the great jubilee to be celebrated nt Augustann college on the 9th o' June. Tills is national in its charac ter , being authorized by the Lutheran Aujustana synod of the United States of America. As this celebration marks an event of highest Importance , not only to Lutherans , but to all protestant Christians , it may bo of interest to recall some histoiical facts connected with it. Christianity was first IntroducoJ into Sweden in the year 81)0 ) , A. D , by Ansgarius , "tho npostlo of the north , " who was called into that country by the Swedes themselves. By the twelfth century Christianity was generally professed in Sweden and the bwedcs had become devoted Catholics. The national church enjoyed great liberties until the year 1248 , when , through papal usurpa tions , she became a vassal to Homo. In course of time the church became very rich nnd n period of corruption nnd tyranny fol lowed. In the tlmo of Guitavus Vasa (1523- ( 1600) ) the doctrines of the U-formation were lirst preached in Sweden by Olaus nnd Laur- cntius Potri , two brothers , who were disci ples of Luther. The king did all in his power to spread tlieso doctrines. Several important auxiliary events , among which may bo mcnntioned the confiscation to the crown of the valuable domains of the Catho lic church nt the diet in 1527. and the trans lation of the Now Testament into Swedish in 1520 and of the whole blblo in 1540-1 , power fully aided this movement. The reformation was carried on with mod eration , the object buing not to destroy the old church , but to cleanse her of her corrup tions. Under sway of this motive oven the episcopacy , which long before had been cs- tablUhcd In the Swedish church , was al lowed to remain and was perpetuated with proper "apostolical succession. " John HI. , son of Gustavus Vasn , In his reign (1568- ( 151)2) ) ) made an attempt to harmonize the Swedish church , his object being to unite the Roman Catholic , the Lutheran and all the reformed churches Into ono church , The Lutherans earnestly protested against this union. King John , hoping that the pope would favor the proposed union , embraced the Catholic faith , but the pope declined his terms. Then the king banished all the Jesuits from Ills realm , closed the Catholic churches and urged the heir apparent , Slgls- mund , to renounce the Catholic faiih , which the latter refused to do. At the tlmo of King John's death Siglsmund , who had been elected king of Poland , was at the Polish cnpital. During his absence the Lutherans In Sweden urged upon Uuko Charles , the brother of John , to cull n diet for the pur pose of adopting some resolutions of protec tion to the evangelical faith , which Slgls- rnund should bo requested to approve before the Swedes would acknowledge him as their king. The diet , accordingly , wns called , and assembled at Upsala on the 2Sth of Febru ary , 1.W3. The duke and his council , four bishops , moro than UOO ministers , many noblemen , merchants and farmers wcro present. The sessions continued till March UO. King John's work was un done. " The unaltered 'Augsburg con fession was unanimously adopted and nil present declared that they wcro ready to dlo in defense of It. Then the president of the assembly exclaimed 'Sweden Is now ono man , and wo hare all ono God.
