"American heirs to a vast fortune ia Ertrope money in ft- Bunk of England, etc." These words have become a "chestnut." The Hdvertisomentsare tum-idly bv wen who seek to defraud.

MOUFTtF-- fcr heirs, though in the majority of raes since tho civil war they have beoc foreign heirs to fortuiK-- made in Amer-- ! ica. A very real and very interesting case is that of the AlphoiisnMoliere estate, of which Dr. J. W. Molierc, of Sutter street, San Francisco, appears to bo a principal heir. The family is old and honorable. Tho doctor's grandfather, Jean Moliere, w. cie of the great Na- - poleon's soldiers, and soon after Water--j loo settled in Virginia. This son, bom in Leeslmrg, was one of tlm founders of Fremont, O., and his son is the doctor, One of the old soldier's brothers, as claimed, was the father of Alphonse Mo-- liere, who inherited 0, and in- - vested it ,pi:t before the great rise in i values soni" fifty years ago. Ho was consequently worth a round million dol- - lars when lie visited this country in IHl'iH, remaining some years. Ketuniing to France be became a great money lender and a miser, and recently died ik a furnished garret in a tene-ment. Among his lags was found a bank book showing deposits und ncc un-ties to the value of $1,2110,000, and ha wned considerable other properly. Sa ull the heirs will receive liberally, and Dr. Molivre will be made quite wealthy. NEWS UFII WEST. terns cf Interest Gathered from Ev.r Toiut in the Groat Iutermount-ai- u Country.

He Learned Ilia Iruon and Will Never Do No Any More. "Sflven years ago," ho said, as he en-tered a crockery ntor on Sixth avenue tho other day "Heveu years ago I came in here ami bought nix plutea of you, and handed yon" He, knocked a thirty cent pitcher off a fihelf as ho waved his aim ubout, and ufter tho pieces were gathered up he con-tinued: "I handed you ft " bill. Yon war-ranted them plates to bo all wool and a yard wide, and I want to say right here and now that Excuse me." He knocked a couple of lamp chimneys off a rack with his coat tails, and it w;ia with a shade of asperity in his tones that the crockery man asked his errand. "Why, I bought kix plates of you." "Well?" "It was seven years ago." "Well?" "Them plates como to sixty cents, and I handed you a f bill. When I come to count my change I was half way home, and I found yon had given me 'levim cents too much. I was calculatin' to romo to town agin tho next week, but What's that?" In moving about in tho narrow space his foot hit a four gallon crock and up--et it, and broke a liberal piece out of one side. "Did you want anything?" asked tho jrroenr in an acid voiee. "Certainly I do. Kinder risky inovins around in hero, I see. Yes, I found you had overpaid mo by 'leven cents, ami though I meant to come in and return it, I've had a fevers ore on my leg, and I had to go out to Elinira to see my daughter, and the old woman has bin ailing more or less. liuing as I was in town today I thought I'd step Lands! but thar goea unthin' else!" It was a fifty cent vase, nnd as the crockery man gathered up the pieces he took the old man and led him to the door and asked: "Anything in our lino today?" "Of course it's in your liue! I want to clear iny conscience, and I've coma to pay back them 'leven cents. Here's a quarter which has been plugged, I guess, and I'll call it twenty-thre- e cents." "Sir, tho man who was here seven years ago is dead." "(Josh!" "And I want you to go out of that door and take a walk. Keep right on walking until you fetch np in tho river." "What fur? What mvo I done?" "Yon are too blamed honest! Walk!" Tho old man stepped out, and when tho door close1 after him be turned and regarded the crockery man looking at him through the glass. It was a long minute before he got it all straight. Then he spit on the palm of his left hand, made a fi.srof his right, and bringing it down with a great "spat" be shouted: "Hanged if this hain't an everlasting lessen to me! From this minit to the day of my death every durned wallet I lind in the road I'll put right down in my breeches pocket an' say uuthin' to tobody." New York Sun. A New K!l of Dnnr, Space s tremendously valuable in big cities, and that is one reason why fifteen story buildings loom up on seventy-fiv- e fout lots. Not content, however, with folving the problem of tall structures, architects are busy devising means to economize tho room within the walls.

George N. Bunch has been commis-sioned postmaster of Suiiiinitvillo, Col-orado. Ouray county grangers protest against the closing of the Bio Orande depot at Dallas. Trinidad stems to lie infested with a ganir of footpads and sneak thieves. A. W, KnziT was held up and robbed Sun-day night. l.itlle Hall Cassaday, son of Mr. and Mrs. (. Cassaday, died Monday of (I phtheria at Boulder. This is the third child lost by this family within three w eeks. A Mexican named Alfalonia Padilla, well known in Trinidad, was shot and instantly killed at Triiicliera, a small Kiatitm a few miles south of Trinidad, by an haliau named Salvador. Fred L.

Tho heaviest snow for many years fell in Salida Sunday night. It' w.m about twenty inches deep on a level. Tlm ranchers are all rejoicing today, and ruio of their number said there would be no litigation over water rights this year, for every ranchmen would have' plenty of water. John 'A.

ThpAmerican trotting mare Polly won l.l'oO in English money in European trotting races last season. In a trotting race in England lately be-tween Bonny Boy and Gray Tommy, the rider of Gray Tommy fell and was killed. Anteeo. ono of Elect ioneer's sons, re-cently sold for 0, the highest price ever paid at auction for a horse. Several days later Anteeo was resold for i.VHH). Michael Dwyer has purchased the great Kingston from bis brother Philip, who secured him for 10,000 at the sale of the Dwyers' stable. Tho consideration was f'.'O.OOO worth of Brooklyn Jockey club stock. Osninn'a death and burial at sea was a source of general regret. turn by sea nowadays is none of the best for valuable horses, and Ossinn met tho same fate as did Blue Gown and other great horses before him. A turf authority says: "Make your Stables as pleasant and comfortable as you can for your horses, and you will never regret having done so. Your horses will bust longer and be more serv-iceable for having good quarters and good care." A mare mule in the corral of Timothy Dwyer, of Wyoming, is said to have a piebald- - colt by a gray broncho stallion. It was foaled last June, and has tho short hair and dark brown bide of its dam. A similar case occurred at 8an Jose, Cal., in 1800. The dam of Little Drown Jug, 2:11 1, had in all nineteen foals, of which two died and four were mules. Of the re--! maiuing thirteen only six were trained, They are Little Drown Jug, 2:11J; Drown Hal, 2:K'J; Cooper's Jug, trial, 2:JS; SU-- i ver Jug, 3:!J0, trotting; Director's Jug, trial, :ol, and a gelding, name unknown. Mor MiiM-lt- than Information. Not long ago nearly three hundred able bodied men were examined for ad-mission to the po'ice force (f the city of Brooklyn. Most of theia stood the physical tests all right. The intellectual ordeal, however, proved too much for tho larger part of the candidates. One of the applicants was rejected because lie said that James G. Blaine was presi-dent of tho United States and G rover Hill governor of Now York state. They Are OKI Itiit Vigorous. The present seems to be mi era in which old men flourish and renew their yocrh. Gladstone, Holmes and Whit-tie- r are notable examples (,f vigor com-bined with years.

'o a lai of funds the board was ci ni:elled to dispense with one teacher, and here-after both schools will be under Mr. J. Y. Mcpherson. Tho Independent does not think there is room in Kock Springs fora Methodist church aud says: "It seems better to have a few churches who can pay their ministers decent salaries and keep out of debt than to have a half a dozen churches struggling along with small congregations, poorly paid preachers and worrying along with a big debt.': j STRANGE TALES. In some langufiges, notably the Japan- - esc, there is no word for kiss, A Philadelphia lady who had lost the key to a valuable casket arose and found it during her sleep. A colored woman at Chester, Pa., plied to a local magistrate for law that would prevent a neighbor from placing a hoodoo spell upon her. Westville, Iud., h;is a cow which quenches her thirst at the village pump, tossing the handle of the pump with her horns until sufllcient water flows for her needs. At a Polish wedding in Wisconsin, after tho feast the plates were all washed and placed upright against the wall and pelted with silver dollars by tho guests till all were broken. There were no conventional presents, but the ammuni-tion accruing to the young couple reached nearly $ Too. In Warrensburg, JIo., lives a light-ning calculator who has done in three hours work that would have taken six ordinary accountants six days.
