upon its great seal, and of its real mil
itary head are closely complementary
and interdependent; and, their busi
ness hours being sharply synchronous,
nothing is more natural than that the
period and pursuits of leisure of these
two men should be strictly coincident.
Kvery evening between six o'clock
and eight, and frequently in the early
morning hours, before officialdom in
awake, the cluttering canter of
two fine horses which bear him

in one part of the district and
nearby states or another, and on half

Sundays, very distant points are
reached. Virginia battlefields are vis

During these long journeys, often ex
ceeding 40 miles from start to finish,
perplexing problems of policy nnd ad
ministration nre solved under con
peniul influences, with utter disregard
of the exasperating red tnpe tangles
fastened upon the army through long
Inaction und congressional apathy.
With clear bends from the exhilaration
of purer at mosplicre than ever pene

the two men are often credited with
reaching conclusions of inestimable
value to the president conclusions
deeply affecting the domestic and in
ternational relations of the republic

Hearing the cooing of n dove she looked
around and snw a white dove perched
on the organ and listening to the music
with great appreciation. Sue learned
afterward that the dove had been a
regular attendant at church for eight
or ten years, being attracted by the
music, of which it was. very fond. It
wns 12 year old mid was the ppt of a
lady who lived near. After church the
dove was taken to the Sunday school

KniM'lj of Wealth.
"Lucky" llaldw in Is the title by which
K. .1. Rahlwin is known far and near in
California. He used to av. however,
that it was pluck and not luck that
brought him millions. Though to the
public, wealth seemed to easily flow
into his hands, in revicwin;r the old
man's history it appears that his re
mark had much of truth in it. Mr.
llaldw In w as born on a farm nenr l!n
cine. Wis., nnd when n boy Is years old,
he tnnl n fine little horse, of which he
Was very proud, to South Kend. Ind
and there his horse ran a winning race.
With his cash capitfll nnd some credit
he was able to open n grocery store,
which prospered, nnd In time I'.nldwin
bought several wagons and horses nnd
started for California. I'.y judicious
trading on the way, he reached San
J-'ranciseo in 1 considerably richer
than he was when he left home. Figur
ing' that in the boominu' new town of
San Francisco mililons of bricks would
soon be needi'd, he bought an interest
in a brickyard. He learned the art of
making bricks thoroughly, nnd then
started n yard for himself, and out of
this business there came to him a for
tune. Til a short time he bought a liv
ery stable, which proved to be an ex
cellent investment, nnd in five years
Mr. I'.nldwin decided that lie had done
well enough to warrant his taking a
trip around the world.
When he returned from abroad he
brought with him n company of Jap
anese acrobats, who delighted the peo
ple of San Frnnciseo and nil the mining
towns of the west, and finally their
manager played them in New York at
the Academy of Music. This tour was

erty to Affluence.)
a success. After Baldwin's return to
San Francisco from New York he
bought mining- stock, and in the course
of a little time he discovered that there
was a scheme, on foot to "freeze him
out." He heard of the plans of the oth
er owners and did not approve of them.
Half an hour before they were to put
their plans in execution Baldwin and
some friends invaded the place they
were holding, aud with fists, chairs,
cuspidors and a revolver, made things
lively for them for nearly half an hour,
until his attorney arrived with an in
junction. After the burning1 of Baldwin's ho
tel in XS98 it was supposed that the
old man wns "tint broke," and, though
he owned 50,000 acres of land in lower
California, this wns mortgaged, as was
also the hotel. The hotel wns not in
sured, und its unfortunate owner was
obliged to sell his ground for $1,425,
0U0. This went toward paying off
mortgages and other debts.
Last Christmas Baldwin surprised
his friends by announcing that he was
going to Cape Nome, as he knew there
was wealth there if a man only knew
bow to get it. In the ruins of his ho
tel Baldwin hud sonic time before
rigged up a sort of theater, nnd
there had a company of Hawaiian
dancers, who made him money. He
engaged them to play n, season in the
mining camp. He gathered other
vaudeville attractions ulso, fitted up
a ship with provisions for eight
months, put a theutcr ready to be
nailed together in its hold, and sailed
away to Cape Nome.
Now the news comes to San Fran
cisco that "Lucky Baldwin" husstriiek
it rich: that, not satisfied with the
success of his- far north theater, he
took up pick nnd shovel und went out
into the frozen wilderness nnd dug
for gold, nnd gold he found.
Nothing but a superabundance of
pluck could have mude u man of his
age determined enough to begin the
battle of a search nfter wealth all
over ngain. The annals of California
bristle with references to the energy
anil determination of many of the
rugged men who huve made the state
their home for years, but "Lucky
Baldwin's" record holds place with
the best of them.

It is probably news to the majority
of people to know that the red r
rock codfish is a bitter enemy of the
lobster that hns just crawled otit of
his shell nnd Is soft nntl nnaliln to
protect himself, sa.vs the I.cwiston
(Me.) Jonrnnl. During bhcddinjr time
these lobsters crnwl up under project
ing rocks where the seaweed und kelp
nre thick and where they find pro
tected places in which to po through
the process of slipping out of their
old shells and taking on a new cont
of mail, so to speak. For some days
after shedding the lobsters nre weak
and unable to cope with those fish
that wage war upon them. This fact
the codfish seem intuitively to know,
nnd they will swarm nround these re
treats in great numbers and wait for
the shedders to crawl out.
An old lobster fisherman said the
other morning that many times he
hnd stopped his dory over a large
number of these red codfish nnd
watched their operations. lie hnd
even dropped his line down nnd dan
gled tempting bait within a few feet
of them. Unless It Happened to fall
directly in front of their noses, how
ever, they would seldom take it, ns
they were after lobster meat. When
the thin-shelled lobsters would erawl
eut from beneath the protecting Ken
weed the codfish would dart at them
nnd strike them fierce blows with
their tails, disabling them completely.
They would then fall to and devour
the helpless crustaceans. This per
formance the lobster fisherman said
lie lind witnessed many times. The
shedding season is now praeticnlly
over, and the shells of the lobsters are
becoming firm and hnrd and they are
fully able to take care of themselves.
OFF ON A DARING VOYAGE.

i:.cu Started on n I)uh to
the North Pole.
There hns just sailed from Hnm
liurg what may be set down ns among1
the most daring bond of arctic explor
ers on record. The little vessel is
the Matador, a common North sea
fishing-boat with a register of but
44 tons. It depends wholly on sail
power. The crew consists of six
men, the owner and captain being
Lieut. Von liauendahl. His plan after
leaving Tromsoe, is to sail ns fnp
north as the ice will permit; then
he will abandon his little vessel and
force hia way nhead with sleds. As
to his return, that will be guided by
circumstances, says a contemporary
Though the Matador is so small,
jet the expedition takes along enough
provisions and fuel to lust three years.
This is packed in water-tljrht boxes
so constructed that they can be used
either as rafts or bouts. They have
runners also, and so can be used ns
sleds, dipt. Von Ilnnenduhl has spent
his entire fortune in preparation for
the trip, lie Is iS years old nnd has
piisstd 17 years nt sea. lie and his
crew nre enthusiastic nnd expressed
themselves ns confident that they
would return with the secret of tho
