A Star reporter saw n fat colored woman the other day standing in the pr.ssage about n third of tho srnv up the domo. She was dressed gorgeously io purple bombazine, and carried a hand bag and a eottou umbrella. She weighed ubont 250 pounds. "Laws, chiio," she said in a frightened whisper, ''I heaha Voices. Dis buildin' is jes' full ob voices. Dey's obrywliar 'bout. An' them chilluns done gone up an' lef n;e, and yer I is. Now, I don't muoh like dem voices. T'se afeared I'll neliber git out ob dis. She was trying c be pnlm with a grant effort. 'Iese voices" are a great source of fear and superstition to Biraple minded visitors. Country colored people par ticularly are frighteued nt the voices they hear among the clustered columns and arched passages. Sometimes tlie voices come up frpm under the feet, sometimes from the solid stone arches overhead. Again they souud from among the shadows in a corner where nobody is. They are heard in the orypt, still more mysteriously in the old hall, where there are plenty of people stirring around in the flood ot sunlight, and more strangely still in the great dome, from whose height meu have committed suicide. Tho building is always full p.' echoes. '"Dese voices are eherywhar." With these many of the employes of the onpital and others fond of practical jok ing play upon the uervea of the super. Rtilious colored people. Sometimes the jolios.nre played on people who are not superstitious. The saucer-like oanopy, upon which tho great allegory rooting nf the rotunda is painted, acts as sonnd iuff board, and will convey the least whisper with perfect distinctness from any place in tho upper gallery to the point opposite. Whcu sentimental couples get close together in this circular gallery and lean over the mil, watching the people mov ing about on the tloor of the rotunda below, and whispering gentle things to each other, meant for no ears but their own, they are often pverheard by iRUOr oent looking young men who happen to he lolling on the opposite side of the galley, as fur away aa possible. The young couple may be Blartlod by some most iuopportuue remark sounded in their ears when no one is near them. At a Eout tender moment au irreverent or jocular remark is startling to their sense of security. When porties of tourists climb up to the dome they are often astonished to be addressed by name in the inns' familiar way by a voice from pnoof the allegorical ..darrra paiiUd on the canopy above. Sometimes they are iuvited to come up and tako lunoh. A party of Ohio people were in the gallery talking to eaah other tibout their home matters. A young man on the other side of the gallery listened until he got the names of several of the party. Then he ' called out : "Is that you, Mr. Blank? Why, how do you do? Come up here; we have lunch fur Ohio folks.'' The voice apparently came through the canopy, from some chamber still higher up. They were not astonished that the government should make es pecial provision for the entertainment of Ohio folks, and they promptly aocepted tho invitation. The whole party trudged up the very steep aud dangerous fight of stairs lending to tho warm light, at the head of which they were met with the notice: "Visitors uot permitted to go higher." And there was no lunoh any where iu sight. Some of the ladies were anxious to get down as soon as possible. Two colored men leaned over the rail under the great allegory and tallied about Lynchburg, whispering myster ously about things stnolly private to themselves. A young man lolled against the rail just opposite them-too far away to hear. They did not mind him. Directly a voice came out of one of the painted figures over their heads, warn ing .them to go back to Lynchburg, sur render themselves and repent of th,ei,r wrong doing. "Was it murder?" the voice inquired. "De good Lo'dl" cried the two tremb ling men, as they made a break for the stairs.' Another very old ex-slave was accused by a voice that appeared to come from tho mouth of the figure supposed to look like Jeff Davis,of being a "runaway nigger" and threatened with the whip ping post and a rsttirpp slavery. These things surrouuded the dome with mys tery, but such would uot be permitted if the perpetrators could bo caught at it. Washington Star. AX ADVERTISIXU TRUST. The loading advertising agencies in the United States have formed them aelfes into a "trust," though they do not cnll it by that name. It is, however, an offensive and defensive alliance, and to that extent is a trust. It is difficult to discover any necessity for such an or ganization. The advertising agencies are the niobt favored of all lines of busi ness which ooine into relation with the new spapers. They are a class of middle men which bleed both the publisher and the advertiser, more especially the former. Their existence is of no advan tage to the newvpaper fraternity, though they are a convenience to the large ad vertiser, as they gave him the necessity of forming a B-.rt of ndvertisiug bureau iof hU own. JHul to the newspaper they are uot only of no benefit - they are manifestly injurious. Tbey do not in crease the volume of advertising to any appreciable dgre; they simply step in between the advertiser and tho publisher, with both arms eitouded, nnd levy trib ute from each. They make terms with both parties. The publisher hatt noth ing to ay about the price uf hie space so far as their ads. are oonoerned, and here is where we say the great injury is inflioted. The prices paid to country newspapers by the agencies are simply degrading, and would not be accepted from the regular advertisers of the paper the people of the town wherein it is published.-The publisher, there fore, discriminates againnt his regular patrons and townsmen, who are tho natural support of tho paper, in favor of a class of agencies uhich have no inter est in the publiealion, and whose very existence is n menaoe to its prosperity. The publishers are at fault in the mat-1 ter. Tho agerr ' V-e both a legal nnd moral right "t.nV cheaply as they onn, and sell at the highest figures they can get. No country publisher ever mado any profit out of their ads., how ever, and many an editor has inserted one of them iu his paper "to fill up," when he felt a sense of degradation in so doiug. .Let every oonutry publisher take it upon himself to refuse these ads. at any prioe other than his regular rates, and in a little while the agencies would oblige advertisers to pay the jncreaee, und the paper would get the same amount of advertising at a fair rate of remuneration. It would seem now that the news papers ought to form a defensive com bination, since the avowed nim BJjd pur pose uf tho agency "trust" is to regujatjj the prices puid to the papers for their space, and to iaflueuce them as to which agencies they shall deal with exclud ing ot course, those uot within tho folds of the "trust," or whatever it is.

He joiiied the organization in Harrison county about two months ago, being sworn in by a branch organization. The oath de manded of every candidate is fairly blood curdling xx its provisions, fhe penalty of its violation being death, as well ns requiring the deposit of 8200 in oaRh with the superior head of the order as a forfeit for the least violation of upy of the by-laws. The candidate must also swear that he has committed a onme of some kind. The detective complied with nil the Wl jlitions,, jiw sidnailted ho was ajrnio subjected to many curious tests autl much cateohiziUij iu order to test his thorough sincerity, one of theso being a frightful ordeal, iu which he found him self convicted of having entered the or der with sinister motives and condemned to be shot. A' the last moment, after being led to a dismal swamp, gagged and blind foldod, ho Was given nn oppor trinity to confess nnd vave his life. These stages of the initiation being passed, the purposes of the order are then unfolded, the chief design being the prompt avenging of any wrong, real or jia ginnry, to auy member of the or ganization. No feature was more mark ed than the strict injuuetiou that loyali ty to the order demuuded obedience to ever order issued by a superior officer, whose word really was law, absolute and supreme. Upon any pretext which be deemed sufficient, he could order the flogging ot any man or woman, even though they were uuknown to the bal ance ot the elan. The chief headquarters were near English, though each county, and even each tow nship, has its separate lodges. The membership embraces a most startling roll of prominent names, in cluding leading fanners, merchants and even many officials, men belonging to the order whom the general public would never dream of having any such aftilintious. It is this fact which has given the "White Caps" snob powor and renders their suppression such a serious matter. It might be added, however, that whilo violence was u part of its doc trine, murder was never contemplated, and every proposed outrage was pre faced by an enjoinder from the chief officer to avoid the killing of any one, and that the yj o,t 'rearms should be the last resort and in self defense. LIGI1 T- WE1QH T COINS. "Light-weight gold coins," said an As sistant United States Treasurer, "can be sold for their weigh1; in gold, the same as bullion. It is our duty to stamp the word 'light' on all gold coins below weight that come to our hands. A cer tain St. Louis bunk once brought S100, 000 in gold coin to the Sub-Treasury, and 83,200 of it proved to be light, aud was so marked by us. Light gold coin is not redeemable for its face value, but the case is different, with silver. We give full-sized silver coins in even ex change for silver coins that are worn smooth, but in no case do we redeem coins that are defaced or mutilated. The smooth silver coins we eend out to be reooined. Sometimes we receive light gold coins in the remittances to the Treasury of the country postmasters. In all such oases we stamp the light gold and return it to the sender. Some time ago the Government officers came to the conclusion that acids were used that reduced the aize of gold coins, making the piece look aa though they ha1 been gradually worn I y handling and that is one of the principal reasons why sold ooin are not rodoemed for thMr coin fac vrvbie " GENERAL XEWS. A dispatch from Montreal on August 27, says: A movement has been set on f lot to petition the Imperial government, in the event of the United Statos de claring non-intercourse, to place a nom inal duty on American wheat and other grains, while admitting the produce of Canada and other colonies free. This, it h plnimod, will soon bring the United States to her knees, dtpriving her ot her principal market, and it would uot in jure England, while benefitting Canada, it being contonded that India, Canada and Russia could more than supply the demand, without iuoreaiing the price to consumers. A publio meetiug in sup port of this proposal will b3 called in a few days. An Ellensburg dispatch of August 27 gqesontosnji that W. H. 'Smith, C. Smith, and Messrs. Alisky, Woodard and Duy arrived on that day from tho Con couuully miniug district on their way to Portland. Thoy report a rich strike in tho face of the Arlington tunnel demon strating (o their entire satisfaction that the ore goes to great depth. They are all well pleasod with the district aud think it one of the most important dis coveries in tho northwest. ' They pro pose putting more extensjve machinery iu the Arlington and will push develop ment vigorously. They me also pleased with the rich agricultural und grazing country, and think the resources are! Kn.llot.a Alln,:il inn.. TA-l il in the moruing. The road between El lensburg and the mines is iu excellent condition. As tho eastbonnd passenger train was coming uown the Blue mountains into the Grand Koudo valley on the morning of August 27, ai a speed of 45 miles an hour, ono of the coaches was derailed by a broken wheel, Tne air brakes were damaged, and also the air signal, so that the trainmen could uot signal the engi neer, who was iguorant of the accident. Being on a steep grade, the traiu ran about a mile before it could stop. Three cars wero thrown off tho track and badly mashed up. The train ran on a bridge and tore it up, siuasbiug the ties and limbers into kindling wood for about 7i)0 foot. Fortunately up one was hurt but the track nnd bridge nro.so badly broken up as to probably delay all trains to-day. BROTHER GARDENER.
