Oct.

the Callers at the office of the Director of the Mint today was Dr. Stephen H. Emmens of New Brighton, Staten Island. N. Y.

The doctor has discovered a process by which he Is able to extract gold from Mexicali silver dollars at a profit, and the object of his visit was simply to pay his respects to Director Preston, who is one of his best customers. The doctor Is an eminent scientist, and when he produced letters from such men as William Crookes, the inventor of Crookes tubes, and Henri de Parville of Paris, editor of La Nature, showing that they arded him as a great discoverer in the dorI in of science, Mr. Preston treated his with the highest consideration. Besides, the director was impressed at once with the different methods employed by Dr. Emmens and Mr.

Brice. The latter professed to make gold out of old iron. The former uses nothing cheaper than Mex-ican silver in his experiments. Produces Gold From Silver. Dr.

Emmens has a laboratory on Staten Island, where he converts Mexican silver dollars into gold. He calls the product argentaurum gold, which he sells to the United States assay office in New York city at $13 per ounce. He deposited the first ingot at the assay office last April, which assayed at $13 to the ounce and for 'which he received $95.65. Since that time he has deposited thirteen ingots of about the same fineness, for which he has received sums of money ranging from to $485. He called the director's attention to the dates of the different deposits, and Mr.

Preston was able to verify the statements made by the visitor by referring to the records. After Dr. Emmens had taken his departure Mr. Preston said: VI do not know what to think about Dr. Emmens or his process of converting silver into gold.

The returns from the assay office in New York show that the doctor has been selling gold to the government since last April. He has sold altogether about $3,000 worth. At first he deposited only two ingots, or about twenty ounces, per month. In August he deposited four ingots having a total weight of seventy ounces. He deposited three ingots in September weighing eighty ounces.

He told me that he made this gold from Mexican silver dollars and that it was produced at a profit of about 25 per cent." Dr- Emmens Talks. The correspondent of the Chronicle called upon Dr. Emmens at the Arlington hotel and asked him to explain as far as he was willing to take the public into his confidence his process of producing gold '7, from 'silver. The doctor is a cripple and for purposes -t of locomotion uses an invalid's roller chair. "I do not claim that I produce gold from silver in the strict sense of the expression," he said a little sharply.

"I do produce from silver a metal which the government purchases and for which it pays gold prices. I sell it at per ounce and at that price I make a profit of $3.80 on every ounce I dispose of. Possibly the net profit is not quite that much, as no al: lowance is made for my own time in that a But I would if necessary be I willing to enter into a contract to pro. (luce sixty ounces of argentaurum, or gold, if you prefer the term, worth $13 per ounce, from 100 Mexican silver dollars. Makes a Profit of 25 Per Cent.

"This gold would bring at the assay office $780. The silver would cost $50 ad the cost of treatment would be WO. This Would leave a profit of $27, and there would remain forty ounces of silver worth to. I expect to produce $2,000 worth of gold this month, and I hope to produce at least per month at an early day. I am a scientist, but I am not in the business for scientific purposes.

My scheme is altogether one for money making. -No disciples are desired and no believers are asked tor. I am not trying to float any bonds or secure subscriptions to a stock company. My process is a scientific one and I am perfectly willing to answer any inquiries in regard to it that do not involve a revelation of the method of treating the metal. I think there is but one matter in the universe and the chemical elements are only modes of this universal substance.

There is no such thing as transmutation in the alchemical sense, but there may be a rearrangement of the molecules. The only difference between gold and silver is a difference in specific gravity. I use Mexican dollars because I find that I get better results from Briefly described, my process of treatment is as follows: Explains His Method In Part. "I take a Mexican dollar and dispose of it In an apparatus which will prevent expansion or flow. It is then subjected to heavy, rapid and continuous beating under conditions of cold such as to prevent even a temporary rise of temperature when the blows are struck.

Tests made from hour to hour show that the material is gradually being transformed into gold." Director Preston is not disposed to regard Dr. Emmens as an impostor. The books show that the doctor has been selling gold to the government and it is fair to presume that he is not doing so at a pecuniary loss to himself. But Mr. Preston believes that when the doctor begins to operate on a large scale the demand for silver will send the price up to a point where there will be no profit in changing it to gold.

RtMOR HAS rr HE HAS LEFT $AS CITY, FOH GOOD. Over a Month Ago He I cut East, Ostensibly on a aviationNothing Has Been Heard or Hint SinceRev. P. D. Eversden.

Who I. Filling His Pulpit Hints That the Dean Will Stay In the East. Where Is the Very Rev. Dean Duffy, pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal church, Kansas City, Someone is wanted to answer this very Interesting question.

Dean Duffy went on a vacation to the East about a month ago. He was to have returned in about four weeks. As can be seen, it is about time he was back. There is a well-founded rumor that Dean Duffy of Fairmount park-Queen's jubilee fame has gone for good. It can't be proved exactly, as the members of the vestry of St.

Paul's church, as well as the Rev. P. B. Eversden, who is filling the dean's pulpit, refuse to talk for pubileation, or any other way, for that matter. A visit made to Kansas City, some time ago by Bishop Millspaug'h would make It seem as though something were wrong in regard to the pastorate of St.

Paul's. This Is thought to be a fact, for the reason that current gossip in church circles in Kansas City, for the past few days has Indicated that Duffy has shaken the dust of the Kaw metropolis from his patent leathers. If he has gone. a great many will mitt-construe the cause. For the last year there has been more or less dissension in St.

Paul's church membership. Duffy isn't liked by many of the more libetal minded members. The pastor has been very strict. lie objected to playing cards and various other amusements that the people of his flock had been used to, and when he began to enforce a few of his Puritanic orders, quite a number left the church. There as been a faction in the church all the while that has opposed the preacher and this.

together with other things, is the probable cause for his long absence from Kansas City, Kan. Said He Was Going to Hest. When Dean Duffy left he said he was going for a much-needed rest. lie also said thet his daughter was feeling somewhat ill and that it was for the benefit of the two that the trip was arranged. It Is time that he returned.

however, as St. Paul's church Isn't in the of circumstances financially, and can't well afford to let its pastor off for six weeks or two months. Rev. P. B.

Eversden stated not long ago that it was possible Dean Duffy would get another pastorate in the East. He it'll-mated that if Duffy could get something better there was nothing to bold hint In Kansas City, Kan. Dean Duffy was a character saleh as the church people of Kansas City, had not been used to. HS dress was strangemore like that of a Roman Catholic priest than a Protestant preacher. But he was extremely pleasant to everyone, used excellent manners and, taken all around, was a four-time winner.

Ile (Ed a great deal to reduce the church debt at St. Paul'a and he was warmly commended for it. Duffy wasn't himself after the he gained in the Queen's mix-up. He was ridieuled so by so many that he didn't act the same at all. If he is Sone no one will be surprised.

While it wasn't expected exactly, no one will be Most people will look upon it as a pretty wise course for the preacher to take. 'VICTORY IS ASSURED. Poston Prospects In First District Are Most Fluttering. The' most important officer to he chosen at the county election this fall is almost assured to the Democrats and Populists. This office is that of county commissioner from the First district.

The antic-able manner in which the problem was solved by the fusionists last Saturday proves that there Is no contention In the ranks of the parties favoring the white metal, and as a natural result there is a weeping and wailing in the ranks of the g.reedy old party, J. W. Anderson, who got the Republican nomination in some manner not known to the gneral public, is not extremely popular in Argentine, the city where he lives. and the Republicans are realizing it, now that It is too late. Hugh Riley, the fusion nominee.

is one of the most popular men in Argentine. His store is patronized very generally by the workingmen, which goes to show that he is In harmony with this element, and that he will get their support. Argentine Is a strongheld. as Is also Armourdaie and the First ward in Kansas City, which loealities C011111- pose the First ommissioner district. Nothing but two nominees on the one ticket could have defeated the silver forces for this office.

This matter has been adjusted. All that remains is the counting of the votes for Riley. P. J. Broil, who was nominated by the bolting Democrats for this office.

Is expected to carry some strength in the Sixth ward, hut when it is taken into consideration that be Is being backed by the Doyle managers, who command but a handful of votes, there is no fear as to the ultimate result of the election. Frank Holeomb, the compromise candidate for clerk of the Common Pleas court, Is without doubt one of the strongest men In the county who could have been nominated for this office. In the Republican primaries the fight for this nomination was a bitter one, and the result left a great deal of contention in the party of Hanna and the corporation.s. Litchfield, who received the Republican nomination, is a man who has been feeding at the public crib for years and years. This is what Jack Howlett, his opposing candidate In the Republican contest, made his campaign tight on.

It made little difference with the men who manipulated the Republican primaries, however, Litelifield had to be provided for, and the work was done. Frank Holcomb was defeated for justice of the peace in Kansas City, last spring by a slim majority of 25 votes. In his present contest he los the strong support of the country districts and Argentine. There seems to be no good reason why he shouldn't be elected. BOTKIN IS ROILED.

Says That Bill 'Jigging Islet Running the State Militia. Reports in several papers to the effect that the Rev. W. B. Poinsett's influence with Bill Higgins would get him the appointment of adjutant general of the State militia, which place was made vacant by the death of Lew Hanback, has roiled Commander Botkin, who now sweats vengeance.

and says that no one with Bill Higgins' indoraement will get the offiee. Several local politicians were in Topeka last week and met Botkin. He was asked about the report that Bill Biggins was going to get the adjutant generalship for Poinsett of Kansas City, Kan, "Now. I would like to know who in the devil ever started the report that Bill Higgins was making my appointments." said Bot kin. The politicians expressed surprised.

Rot-kin continued: "Why should I recognize Bill Higgins when he and Barney Kelley worked for the appointment of Eastman for State commander? Nay, nay, Bill Higgins isn't running things up this way, and the sooner some people find it out the better." It will no doubt surprise a great many to learn that Bill Higgins worked against Botkin for Slate commander. It has always been reported that Higgins was directly responsible for Botkin's fortune, and that his indorsement, came very nearly carrying anything it was signed to when related to the State militia. THEY KNOW NOT THE LAW Republicans of Prairie Towne hip Were Delinquent. The Republicans of Prairie township were unaware that the law required that all township nominees for dices should have their names filed with the county clerk thirty days before the election. The Democrats posted notices of a convention for the purpose of nominating men for township offices last Friday, and In this manner the Republicans were enabled to catch on.

At least this is the way Tom Barker puts it. The party got together late Friday evening. There were present William Tanner, Old Ntan Perry and his two sons, August Baker and his two sons. These represent the Republican party of Prairie township. Old Man Perry was nominated for trustee, one Scott was nominated for clerk.

and Ole Johnson was named for tosvnship treasurer. The two latter were nominated by the meeting without their conseat. The Democrats ot the township held a rousing, meeting on the same 'stetting. Tom Barker presided, and there Were about forty persona in atttudance. Oscar TO SOLVE IT BY TELEPATHY Dr.

McIver Tyndall Will Make the Luetgert Mystery Clear. Chicago, Oct. 3.Under a mass of hair that wabbled and bobbed from side to side, a man came into the rotunda of the Auditorium hotel yeeterday afternoon with the power. so he claims, to solve the mystery of the Luetgert case. All the way from London.

England, Dr. J. Alexander McIver Tyndall, famous for his powers in telepathy, clairvoyance and theosophy, came to Chicago to look at Adolph L. Luetgert, wave his hands and in a stern voice command him to tell the truth. That Dr.

McIvor Tyndall can accomplish this feat he says there is no doubt. Notwithstanding his extraordinary mass of hair, his odd manner and his peculiar shirt and necktie, he comes to Chicago with a great reputation in the medical and scientific world. His father and grandfather rank among the leading physicians in England. At 3 D. m.

the doctor consented to talk. "First, I do not want it said that I came to Chicago seeking money," he said. "I will be in the city but a few days, and my only reason tor coming is that I have taken a great interest in the Luetgert murder trial. In fact. I take delight in mysteries.

I hope you will not put me down as a crank. There are cranks among telepathists or clairvoyants, but I want it understood that I do not come under that branch. I have made this subject a study for yearseight years, to be exact. I first studied to become a doctor, following the wishes of my father. Then I took up my present study and am still studying.

"The caurts of this city, I suppose, may object to my line of making Mr. Luetgert tell the truth. They may think It is not aceording to law, but I can give them such proof that they will not doubt me. I was called in on the Durrant murder in San Francisco, the Mrs. Henson ease in Minneapolis and the Florence Maybrick case in England.

Mrs. Maybrick consented to allow me to make my test of "state the truth." as I call it, but the English courts Would not allow it. "Now, if I was called upon to make the test with Mr. Luetgert I would place him in my power whether he wanted me to or not. It makes no difference.

I do not put the subject always to sleep, nor do I close his eyes. It would not be the physical body that answered my uestions, but his soul, as that is the part that tells the truth. No doubt that sounds very foolish, and people will say I am a crank, but I am no more than a doctor with the power to do what I say. I would like to make the test for my own satisfaction and the judge and lawyers I believe I could convince soon. Do not call me professor.

as I am not. If I am allowed to make the test I will stay in Chicago until next Wednesday, if not I will go to New 'York and then hark home. I have just returned from India. Yes, this is my first visit to Chicago." Dr. Iiietvor Tyndall does not speak with the English twang.

If it were not for his hair he would be called a very handsome man. WHO IS L. THOMPSON! Hannan City Mon Said to Have Corn 'flitted Suicide in Tenon. A telegram.was received at police headonarters last night from Coroner J. D.

McKie of El Paso, In which It was stated that a man who had registered there as L. Thompson. Kansas City," has committed suicide. So far as'could be learned last night, none of the residents of this city answering to that name was missing. FOR CHEAP RATES TO TUE GULF.

Sew Line of Steel Barites Will Reduce Haien on Groin. St. Louis, Oct. 3.Stock-holders of the Consolidated Elevator company have practically decided to organize a company to build steel barges of light draught, in which it Is expected grain can be shipped to New Orleans for 8 cents a bushel. Web M.

Samuel, general manager of the company, had this to say on the subject: "A steel barge line will be running on the Mississippi the early part of 1898. There is a movement on foot to build steel barges of the latest construction that will draw but focrteen or fifteen inches of water and carry 84)() tons of freight. That will make them capable of running during the lowest stages of water in the river, and they can carry grain the year round to New Orleans for 3 cents per bushel. One of the best known ship builders in the country will establish a ship yard in St. Louis and construct these barges.

By the first of next March we will have a boat and four or live steel barges ready for the spring trade. These steel barges can be operated far cheaper than the wooden barges can. Only 2 per cent of the cost of a steel barge will pay for its annual repairs, whereas it requires from 8 to 10 per cent to keep a wooden barge in good shape. Owing to this low cost of operating steel barges a very low freight rate can be offered the public." LATEST WHEAT CHOP ESTIMATES. Orange Judd Former E.Iguresi it Will Amount to 649,000,000 Bombe la.

Chicago, Oct. 1The Orange Judd Farmer, in its final estimate of the year's wheat crop, says that figures basad on actual threshing returns indicate a total yield of 589,000,000 bushels, of which 373,530,000 bushels ia winterand 215,470,000 bushels is spring wheat. With the exception of Illinois and Missouri, the winter wheat yield represents the full capacity of the soil. The spring wheat yield in Minnesota and the Dakotas has proven a disappointment, the aggregate being only 129,000,000 bushels. The shortage there is in a measure counterbalanced by the good yield in Nebraska, Orceon and Washington.

The report says that the corn crop is exceedingly disappointing at an outside estimate of 1,750,000,000 bushels. Drought during the past two months reduced the average condition from 82.3 a month ago to 78.9 On October 1. An average oats yield of 28.7 bushels per acre suggests a crop of 811,000,000 bushels, 100,000,000 more than last year. FAMILY OF THREE CREMATED. Frantic Woman at aFire Comma a Frightful Tragedy.

Dill Wood and a few more of his cohoris got out last Saturday with petitions, as the law requires that in all cased where the vote of the party has not by tho fast general election. If the vote of last fall is taken into eonsideration, the Democratic party certainly would not have to get out with petitions and secure enough signors to get a ticket tiled with the county clerk. The bolters did this in their case, how. ever, which is sufficient proof that the ticket should not be headed "i on the official ballot.
