Fix-st Installment ot the Union 'Pu-
olfic Purchase Money Paid.
Washington, Nov. 23.—The largest
financial transaction in which the Gov-
ernment has taken part since the last
bond sale took place yesterday in
Washington and New York, in the'
transfer to the Reorganization Com—
mittee of the $13,645,250 of bonds held
by the Government as a sinking fund
for the company and the payment by’
the Reorganization Committee of the
$58.000,000 bid for the railroad property
at the foreclosure sale in Omaha on
Nov. 1. The money was deposited to
the credit of Treasurer Roberts in the
National City Bank at New York, the
certificate of deposit being given to
James F. Meline, Assistant Treasurer,
who represented Mr. Roberts there. A
portion of the bonds, $4,500,000 in
amount, which had been held in the
SLItFTrE-ntsury at New York, was de‘liv—
ered at the same time by Mr. Meline
to the representatives of the Reorgani-
zation Committee. The deposit of the
money was announced by telephone to
Secretary Gage at 12 o’clock, in a spe-
cial message from Mr. Meline, .where-
upon the delivery of the bonds oc-
curred. Two clerks of the bank, Messrs.
Creek and Adee, sent to Washington
for that purpose, received the bonds
here. $9,145,250, in Treasurer Robert’s
oifi<e. '
Toe appearance of the 89 cents in the
tr: usaction has given the Treasury
o.” cials no end of worry, and the dis-
p'sition to be made of it may yet be
3'- formed to Congress. The sum named
ii the decree of sale included the 89
gents, but how it got there the Treas-
ury people have no idea. It was an
error, and they express to the Reor—
ganization Committee a perfect will-
ingness~ to waive the Government’s
claim to it. But the members of the
committee said they couldn’t avail
themselves of the proffered waiver,
and there it is. A suggestion to add it
to the conscience fund did not meet
with the favor of the department. If
Congress doesn’t come to the relief of
the Bookkeeping, Warrant and Public
Moneys Division, a new account will
have to be opened for the care of that
59 cents.
TROTTERS GO TO EUROPE.
Austrian Horsemen Get the Best
Horses at the New York Sale.
._ New York, Nov. 23.—The most exten-
sive auction sale of trotters and pacers
ever held in this country began yes-
terday at- Madison Square Garden.
Nearly eight hundred horses are cata-
logued, and with an intermission on
Thursday and Sunday, the sale will be
continued day and night until Thurs~
day of next week. Upward of two hun-
dred of the animals that will pass un-
der the hammer have public records
ranging from 2.061,; to 2.30, and this re-
markable array of speed has brought
together a big crowd of well—known
horsemen from all parts of the United
States and Canada and from Europe.
Mrs. Dan McPhee, widow of the well-
known Canadian trainer, who died at
Vienna last Spring; John Fleischman,
Henry A. Fleischman, Albert Mosher
and Schlesinger & Go, all of Vienna,
were the most prominent foreign buy-
ers present yesterday. They bought
the cream of the offerings.
The Hon.,,Charles M. Reed’s fine show
mares, Alice Leyburn and Georgie M.,
who. were so much in evidence at the
Horse Show last week, were struck off
to Schlesinger & Co., of Vienna, for
$6,200. "
The once-noted campaigner Pixley,
2.08%, which was the contending trotter
against Alix in the memorable $15,000
Columbian free-for-all race at Chicago
in 1893, brought only $650. She. is .11
years old. W. M. V. Hoffman, who
bought her, refused to take a profit of
$700 within one hour after Pixley was
knocked down.

NO ARBITRATION TREATY.
Denial of Story that Negotiations
Had Been Completed.
Vfashington, Nov. 23.——It is stated on
authority that there have been no re-
cent negotiations between Secretary
Sherman and Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British Ambassador, concerning a
new arbitration treaty between the
United States and Great Britain; that
no exchange of notes has occurred be-
tween Mr. Sherman .and Lord Salisbury
on this subject, and that Sir Julian has
not mentioned the matter since he re-
turned to Washington some weeks ago
from London.
These explicit statements were called
out by detailed reports recently pub-
lished to the effect that negotiations
on the new treaty had progressed to
the {I ma] stage.
Some months ago an intimation was
conveyed by the authorities here that
a renewal of the negotations on the
treaty would be viewed with favor, and
a. rough draft of a treaty was made,
but negotiations were not begun, as it
was felt the defeat of the last treaty
made it inadvisable to make a new one
until positive evidence was at hand
that it would not meet the same un-
favorableaction in-the Senate.

Many Norwalk People Give
Expression to it and with
' Good Results. ‘
The remarkable cures accomplished
in N orwalk during the last seven-
months are something to astonish and
convince the most skeptical. N 0 won-
der the people believe in it; no wonder
a prominent druggist lately said: "Be-
lief in California. Catarrh Cure is \an
article of faith in the Norwalks. be-
cause people know for themselves, with-
out. regard to what- any interested par-
ties say, of cures it has wrought among
their friends and neighbors.”
TVhy I People have suffered for years
and never dreamed they could get any
relief by using anything and some day
a friend says: “California Catarrh
Cure cured me, it will cure you, and
you won’t have to wait. to find out about.
It either. It relieves at once.” .
Here are the words of one of on
neighbors now, telling Why she believes
in it. ,You know that it; is true because.
you know her. ‘
Mrs. John Lycett, 21 High street,
Norwalk. says: “My daughter, Violet,
has been troubled since childhood with
catarrh, until her whole head seemed
more or less diseased. She had .be-
gun to be a little deaf, and suffered
much with severe headaches so that
we have had to keep her out. of
school a good deal. I sent her to
Plalsted’s drug store, South Norwalk
after a bottle of California. Catarrh
Cure and she commenced using it. Its
beneficial effects have been simply
wonderful. It has helped her from the
first in every way. I have not heard
her complainof a headache for a. long
time. and by the time she had finished
her first. bottle, I feel confident that
she will be cured.”

LINCOLN’S “SELFISHNESS.”
In Order to Save His Peace of l‘Iillll HI
Rescued the Pigs.
Mr. Lincoln once remarked to a fel-
low-passenger on the old—time mud~wa-
gon coach, on the corduroy road which
antedatcd railroads, that all men were
prompted by selfishness in doing good
or evil. His fellow-passenger was an-
tagonizing this position when they
were passing over a corduroy bridge
that spanned a slough. As they cross-
ed this bridge and the mud—Wagon was
shaking like a Sucker with the chills;
they espied an old razor-backed sow
on the bank of the slough making a
terrible noise because her pigs had got
into the slough and were unable to get
out, and in danger of drowning.
As the old coach began to climb
Lhe hillside Mr. Lincoln called out,
"Driver, can’t you stop just a mo-
ment?” The driver replied, “If the
other feller don’t object.” The “other
feller”—who was no less a personage
than at that time “Colonel" E. D. Ba-
ker, the gallant General who gave his
life in defense of Old Glory at Ball’s
Bluff—did not object, when Mr. Lin-
toln jumped out, ran back to the slough
and began to lift the little pigs out of
the mud and water and place them on
the bank. When he returned Colonel
Baker remarked, “Now, Abe, where
ices selfishness come in on this little
episode?” “Why, bless your soul, Ed,”
that was the very essence of selfish-
?ess. I would have had no peace of

NOVELIST CAINE’S WIFE.
An Enthusiastic Helper in His Work—
Their Domestic Life a Happy One.
While Hall Caine is famous for his
books, which have placed him in the
front rank of the writers of the nine-
teenth century, but little isknown of
his domestic life. It has been told
that he has residences in London and
other places, but that his best work is
done at Greeba Castle, in the Isle of
Man. Few know that the novelist is
not a Manxman by birth. He was
born in England, of Manx parents, and
in his youthful days spent much of his »
time in that little bit of the universe
which teems with lore. ' '
Greeba Castle is situated in the most
picturesque part of the beautiful island
close by the sea, and surrounded by
the very places which he has made
famous in his nevels.
. [n his domestic life Mr. Caine is
very happy. His Wife belongs to the
island, and was his companion in hit
youthful day-z. 22-23 is an amen-t helper
to her husband, and the two may be
seen any pleasant day or evening tak—
ing bicycle rides in the beautiful
country roads which abound in the
northern part of the island—New York
