Oscar Wilde, who was about 45 years of age, was born In Dublin and was the son of William Mills Wilde, an eccentric surgeon dentist, who has been termed the "craxy doctor."

Oscar was educated at Trinity coliegc. Dublin, and at Oxford. He obtained the Greek medal in 1874 and the Newdigate prise for a . poem in J878. In 1S79 he went to London and soon afterward originated the so called "aesthetic erase," which was burlesqued by W. S. Gilbert in "Patience." Wilde visited the United States later on and lectured on "Tfce Uselessness of the Useful," "The Soulful* ness of Soul" and "The Worthlessness of j Worth." When he returned to Europe, his success was even greater than before, and he married a beautiful woman. who bore him two sons. He had reached the zenith of his fame in 1894. Five of his plays being acted in London theaters one time, and his poems and books were widely read. Erratic Career. Remey Ordered to Send Large Quantities of Food. Bmdln*.

"from Rensselaer Sunday evening, and before the owner of the cattle, Alfred McCoy, became aware of his loss the sale of the stolen property had no doubt been consummated in Chicago. During the latter days of last week agents of Qic Mohon railroad at Reynolds. Monticello, Monon and McCoysburg received tflre or ders for cattle cars to be held in readiness for the use of cattle buyers who already, the messages read, had made large pur. chases'in that vieinity. Sunday evening about dark the thieves, with' plans too well laid to miscarry, visited McCoy's ranches at McCoysburg and took about 210 head of the best on pasture. The cat tie were divided up in droves, driven tc the various points where cars were in waiting and shipped to Chicago and sold duriog Monday, the best day in the week lor sales. Tuesday McCoy, vho is a banker at Rensselaer, was notified of his loss and after checking up found him self the-loser of sfaiefbing over $8,00C worth of fine catt'e and no clew to the thieves who worked the game.

All the remaining gold, amounting to about $243,000,000, belongs to the treasury as a part of the reserve fund of $150,000,000. The influx of gold into the treasury comei partly., from the new gold from the Klondike and the other mines, but its retention i6fdue to the pressure for currency which leads to the acceptance of gold certificates and other paper money in preference to coin. The treasury recently kas been shipping small notes in larfe quantities to New Orleans and other points upon deposits of gold in the New York subtreasury by the New York reserve agents of the southern banks.

Washington, Dee. 1.—It was learned last night -that Mr. Griscom had sent a cablegram to Secretary Hay which indicates that the Turkish claims may soon be satisfactorily settled. All that the officials would say was that the information is encouraging. If Turkey should settle direct with the American missionaries who filed claims for $90,000 with the state department, no complaint will be made by the administration. It is conceded by some that this may be the result of the visit of the Kentucky, but no official word ot this has reached here. The authorities insist that the United States cannot afford to accept a settlement of the claims under cover of a ship contract, but it has no control over the claimants. Sufch ''a course would, however, probably not be welcomed by the authorities. Evans Bros.

Mrs. King declared that Miss Rice is the youngest of the late millionaire's sisters, and she hopes that this fact may be established through the surrogate's records of Kings county. One of Mr. Rice's sisters died iu Brooklyn 35 years ago, according to Mrs'. King, and left considerable property. Miss Rice, she says, received a part of this estate.
