JUST IN TIME FOR DINNER ASIDE from somo noted criminal prosecutions which I conducted several years uso, the Incident whlcl( 1 nm uliout lo relate was one of the most Interesting chapters in my professional life. It lind been n stormy November dny. During ihe inortlng the rain bud eome down in torrents. Townrd noon the wuter began to crystallize us it descended, nnd ull afternoon tbe snow bud been blowing und drifting in n very uncomfortable wny. It grew dark early. Perhaps it wns bocause of ibis that I decided to go home un hour earlier thnn usual. I say perhaps, because I huve nl- wuys thought tliat providence bud something to do wilh my going out on to the street ut that moment. Passing up Broadway I turned into Fourteenth street lo cross lo the elevated railroad station. Near the corner I encountered a crowd of men und boys, in thc center of which slood a blur-coat with n prisoner. Standing ou tip-loe, 1 biiw Unit the prisoner wus a young hid with u remarkably handsome fni-e nnd gentlemanly manner. A call had been sent in for u patrol wagon, and the policeman wns waiting the response. The boy looked thoroughly frightened. As I reached the spot he wus protesting bis innocence nnd begging to bc released. "I tell you honestly, sir, It is a mistnke. I know nothing of the jewelry. I am Innocent, sir; I am, truly." "That's all right, you young rascal," the policeman replied. "Nobody Unit's arrested ever stenls anything. But when we get our clutches on 'em they don't generally turn out such innocents us they clulin." Just (ben (be pulrol wagon dashed up, two officers alighted, und tbe boy was quickly hustled up the steps of the wagon and driven on*. "What station?'* I Asked ns Ihey drove off towurd the south. There was no reply, but by walking rapidly In the direction taken by the officers I soon brought up at the Mercer street station, where, ns an attorney, I soon obtained tin interview with lhe Ind whose face hail bo greatly Interested mc. When I was shown lo his cell ho was weeping bitterly, and appeared to be iu absolute ilsepulr. "I saw yon nt the patrol box," I said by way of Introduction, "und thought I would like to find out a little more about your case. I am a lawyer; and if you arc Innocent, ns I think you must bc, 1 will see what cap be done to get you out of this. My name is I.awson, what Is yours7" "Frank Orr," he suid promptly, ns a wave of gratitude nnd hoi>c swept over his face. Then be added: "This is very kind Df you, sir. Tlie whole miserable business is a mistake. I never took a bit of the jewelry; not a bit." Then I sat flown on the cot beside Frank and asked him to tell me all about his trouble. His home was In Western Vermont, he snid, and he lind been in New York about a year. Ho bud come here to get a start in the world. While bis success bad not beeu all that bis fancy used to pnint it, yet, considering tlie bard times, be bud done very well. Once a month be bud beeu able to send n little money to his mother, who needed his help sorely. For six months past he hud been employed in lhe shop of a manufacturing jeweler. That day twenty valuable rings nnd some other articles had disappeared from n show- cue. They were missed just after the noon hour. During thnt hour the workmen were always out at lunch, and Frank aud anoUier young man named Lerch were usually In charge. But to-day Lerch was alek at home, and Frank was in the shop alone. "Did you see no one about thc premises during that hour?" I asked.

This little earth is sucli n merry planet, The dislunees beyond it so supreme, I huve no doubt that ull lhe mighty spuces Between us und the sturs ure tilled with faces More beautiful thnu nny artist's dream. I like to think that I shall yet behold them, When from Ibis waiting room my bouI hns soared. Ktirth is a wayside station, where we wander, Until from out the silent darkness yonder Death swings his lantern, and cries, "All aboard!" I think death's truin sweeps through the solar system And passes suns nud moons that dwnrf our own. And close beside us we bIiuII find our dearest, The spirit friends on earth we bold tlie nearest, And in tbe shining distance God's great throne. Whatever disappointment mny befall nu* lu plans or pleasures in tbis world ol doubt, I know thut life nt worst can but delay me, ' But no malicious fate has power to stay me From that grand journey on thn Great Death route.

I .vill ask tlie sergeant to give you a more comfortable place than this for the ulght, ln the ni brain g I will see you again." "When the case came up at tho Jefferson Market police court next day 1 secured an adjournment. Then I went to work vigorously to hunt down the thief. I started nut on tho theory of Frank's innocence. Then, it was clear that tlte janitor could not himself have stolen the goods. He might have had an accomplice, however, who may have been concealed somewhere In the room, ami carried off the jewelry while Frank was taking his two-minute view of the horses tn thc alley. This fliief might have dropped the ring into Frank's pocket so aa to point suspicion toward its owner, My theory proved correct. A guarded talk with soma people living nenr the home of llognn, the janitor, made me acquainted with his character aud habits. What I learned wns uot to his credit. 1 also came into possession td' the fact that he lind been seen the previous night at a Bowery saloon In company wilh a fellow named Tingle, who had done time al Sing Sing, nnd who was now under surveil- ar.ee by thc police. I went to the saloon named, but. learned lhat the men bail only been there ti few minutes earlier in the evening. "They had no money and were sober," the bnrtender explained, "so guess they ttin't been into no crooked work of late." The fact that they were not spending money made me believe that if these men were really the thieves they had not yet sold Iheir plunder. So I decided upon a bold movement. Securing the aid of a trusty detective who had once served me in somewhat similar ease, I went to Slogan's house. A red-faced woman admitted ns. "Mr. Tingle left some rings and other jewelry with you for safe-keeping," I said in confident tone, purposely refraining from giving any hint that suspicion also rested upon her husband, "The property is not Mr. Tingle's, and if you wish to save yourself from trouble you will deliver it up to this officer at once," I added. Tbe woman turned pale aud hesitated. A threat to place her under arrest brought her to a decision, and a parcel containing the plunder was placed In my hand. At the police court next day Hogan a.nd Tingle were confronted with the evidence of their crime, and Frank Orr's eyes danced with joy when the judge expressed regret that so serious a inlstake had. been made, and told him he wojb at liberty. bled over the snow-clad hills of Vermont, ran up the old lane under the apple trees, greeted old Nero with a shout that woke the echoes, aud burst into the dear old home just in time for dinner.—Lawfence Iwuvson. * ,:J ■Tin:' Ephralm Gives Thanks.

On inquiry it wns learned that the patient had taken before breakfast about two tenspoonfuls of quinine dissolved-in acid, after which she vomited. The hands and face were extremely pale and the pulse was quick and irregular — almost fluttering, small, thready and feeble. The heart beats, though clear, were wanting in strength, nnd were of a dull, subdued, metallic ! character. Hearing was entirely lost \ aud vision was greatly Impaired. For about eight hours the woman remained speechless und quiescent, though not j quite unconscious. At the end of this time she began to 'speak, while some color bad returned to the cheeks, and ! the acliou of lhe heart bad become ' quieter and slronger.

Then, as he cleverly played lhe flsh. and drew It In. till It lay gasping under Hie thwart, he laughed sofily. "Another of the girl's admirers, 1 suppose," lie snid. In the morning Jem and Ted Trew- lowe eame down the vllhige street together. Jem carried a coll of rope nnd a pointed iron bar—the stock-in-trade of his hazardous profession, that of egg hunter. The boat was headed for the g:ay- whlts column across the . bay, the Witches' rillar. They scrambled up the rift In the cliff, and reached the breezy uplands. The iron bar wns driven deep Into the soli, and live minutes later the figure of a man swung high over the sea, terrifying the birds, and looming black against Hie lighter background of the cliff. Little Trewlowe snt steadying lhe swaying rope, his heels firmly wedged In the holes he had cut lo keep ihem from slipping, and his black cutty gripped light between his clenched teeth. There-was (frightened look lu Ids eyes, for Jem had seemed so queer and so little like himself. Suddenly the rope slnckened, aud then grew taut again with a fierce jerk that started the bar a full Inch and seared his hands. Then It swayed limply against the cliff edge, and a falut cry from below sent his heart Into Ills throat. Be peered over the brink with almost sightless eyes, and called again. The rope streaked down, Blackened and limp. He fancied lie suw a dim blurt of bubbles scarring ihe imiooth surfac, of lhe distant water anil his head reel, ed. * ' With trembling lingers lie knotted the rope firmly to Ihe bar, ami throwing off Ids coat, swung himself over the brink.

When thi- Shadows drew 111 llie light house unclosed lis ponderous eye and glared at her for a moment like some huge beast ns il circled round, cleaving the darkness. "I think I'll just ruu down un' see Mrs", Trewlowe. dud," she said, shakily, looking through Hie open door. Jem's little col Inge, with Its screen of tall fuchsias, stood silent and deserted. The frenzied bent of her knuckles on the door echoed back to her mockingly through.the two tiny rooms. A panting woman, with a dingy shawl thrown over her head, met her half way down, Some Instinct Intangible and undefined, seemed i- tell each what she wished, yet dreadc*. lo learn; foruo words were spoken, no questions asked. Their hands met In unspoken sympathy, anil hand iu hand they descended the hill. They paused on Hie bluff, straining their eyes in hopes of seeing a dark speck crawl out under the shadow of the cliffs. A boat was moving outward toward the deeps where the conger lay, and lhe girl's heart grew bitter against Its occupant, and the tiny bund of gold upon her wrist seemed to scorch her llesh. When they stood below the creaking sign of the Merry Mariners the woman hung back, and looked at her piteously, "I'll go In," said Kilty, touching tire woman on Ibf arm. There was n sudden hush ns the white-faced girl tottered in nud gave a hurried glance around. '■Is—is lie here?" she gasped. "I-I mean-—" An old ling, seated In the fnr corner ot the room, bored her toothless gums and uttered a cracked laugh. "No, he hain't, dearie. I seed him goin' congerfisbln' lu his swell dollies, r'riyrs. if 1 axed him prettily, he'd put me In a.plctur', too! Eh, dearie? He! he!" "I mean Jem—Jem Holt—my Jem," ns she 'panted, catching her breath. "Ted Trewlowe an' him went nest in' on the Pillar this mornln*. 'Ted ain't back,' ail' my Jem ain't back, nn—Jem and Ted Trewlowe—my Jem—is—is—" She broke down, covering her face with.her hands. The men laid aside Iheir pities and went oui softly, whispering among themselves. The sad-eyed woman wns wailing for her, nnd together they hastened to tin. beach and launched old Andrew's boat. The others were far across ihe bay already. Tlie oars splashed sluggishly, and Hie boat sped on through the creeping dusk. At last the girl peered over her shoulder nud'stood up, covering her mouth with her hands. "Hallo:" An ijnswerlng ery in a man's deep tones echoed across the water, and she bent io the oars once moro. Then she drew back her arm and tossed something Into the air—something that glistened witli a yellowish tinkle at tho artist's feet. It was a narrow chain of gold, embellished with a heart-shaped pendant —his gift returned. The nose of llie boat veered round and' they headed up the bay. The worn- nn still rocked herself, sobbing sofily, but Kilty's cheeks were dry. though lier breath came and went iu uncertain giisps. A hoarse cheer swelled up through llie night and set their hearts singing. Kitty's head went down ou her bands, aifd' tears came at last, as the heavy burden of agonized suspense fell from lier. 'One by one lhe boys lolled across the light, anil were soaked up by the darkness under lire I-'rin-oiube shore. Kitty .roused herself and followed. There was n chattering crowd of men and women outside the Merry Marin ers, but Ihey fell aside to let her pass, and Ihey thronged the doorway curiously.

In a moment she was kneeling beside him,, heedless of them all, with her arms clasped round his ueck und her cheek pressed lo his. "O, Jem!" she whispered. "Jem! Jem!" By nnd by they went down the road together In the darkness, Jem's uninjured arm circling lhe girl's waist, and her head resting on ills shoulder.

Tbe Rossland Miner in its issue of Nov. 1 ith contains an article relative to the establishment of customs smelters nt this point, and oSers very sage advice to tbe people of tbis district, in regard to making any concessions 10 what it is pleased to call tbe "subsidy liend wbo has invaded tbe community. That tbe Miner maybe perfectly sincere and bonis! in its -.Sorts to direct tbe people of this sectioms quite possible at tte same tin.e, this piece of advice, read in connection with the leading editonol utterances of that journal, give the impression that, sincerity, to s.iy tbe le.ist, is sadly lacking in that pap.-rs' expression. un behalf af the people of this district. -J " The future of (irand Forks, thc future of the whole Boundary country, is certain enough, if people lived forever, and were possessed with Ibe pad ncecredit- ed to tbe ancient job. The C. & W. n .w apparently under the especial wing ■if the Miner, would no: put a single man to work in tbe Boundary country, unless granted heavy subsidies from both tbe province and dominion governments. Keither would the V V i E. promoter?, and everybody who knows anything is aware tbat tbeC. P. R. never built a mile of track in tbis country that was not practically p iid for by the people, and no one has forgotten the three cornered tight which took place at Ottawa last winter between these three corporations, That it will be renewed this winter, that the Miner's pet C. Sc W. will be in the Ibick of it, and tbat tbe C. P. R. will carry off the prize to 'he discomfiture ol the others, is a certainty, -§- The Miner says; 'In their deliberations of tbe matter of the erection of a smelter it would be well for the good of (stand Forks to bear in mind this important fact; If tbe Canadian Pacific railway ever controls tbe carryiug trade of tbe Boundary country, tbat road will do its utmost to prevent tbe operation of smelting there as it has already done in Kootenay. All the big corporation cares about ia the longest haul possible on tbe ore, and tbe unfortunate m ne owner bas to pay for it.'' -§- Just so, and in order to become independent of this, and all oiber monopolies the people of this district are prepared to deal liberally with parties showing a disposition to establish reduction works here, tbat will mean permant relief from sny such imposition let it come from where it may. It may be of interest to the Miner to know tbat there is one proposition before tbe people now that is •siting but little from anyone, and tbat it be granted only on condition lhat they carry out their undertaking to establish reduction works, and transportation facilities here. While tbe Miner's advice, if considered disinterested, will doubtless be appreciated, it is at the same time certain tbat tbe people of the Boundary country are capable of j idging of what is best for themselves, and in dealing in a business way with any proposition tuade them. appointed government official who has got a bad na*e of "a .cell head.

The Boundary creek district will be left out in tbe cold as far as any commanding voice in the next provincial elect for this district is concerned if the residents do no: write Mr. Norris at Vernon pretty soon and get tbeir names on the list. It takes so little eff irt, j 1st a short letter stating tbe applicants name, age, business, nationality and leng.h of re id-ncj in tbe pro vince and the th nj i. done if tbe appli cant on making applicati 11 is found to be qualified. We urge every man in the district to do tbis much at once, not only lor tbe purpose of showing tbat East Yale is entitled so anottur representative but also to insure the next representative being a resident of tbe mining centers. -t~ A iod names, i' is -nu], have recently been ient tn from Fairview, This means [bat tbe Div.dson ii.other.'; who have done so much to develope Fairview can p have not been unmindful of their political friends and have drummed up the camp for every vote wbo can be relied upon to give a good Liberal vote for the Opposition in June next A I oo hundred names do not >,o in a bunch by accident.

Tbe communication stated lhat the law drd not provide for a re-payment of the license tax.

Bids have been called for the carrying of daily mail between Nelson and Marcus. G. S. Helphrey, merchant and notary public of Curlew, made a fl. ing trip to Grand Forks this week. Nelson is experiencing a building boom. There is not a vacant bourse in the town and tbe sound of the hammer i quite a familiar nocturnal sound. T. M. Ha nmond, deputy U.

Some excellent ore was recently taken from the tunnel on the B.g 4 propeity, which at present is in 85 feet. Mr. Richard Winn, who has the contract to run a 60 foot incline on this property, is pushing the work and expects to bave t co p'eieri by tl e first of February, when another crosscut will be run fiom the bottom of the .ncline to the bottom of the footwall. N>w that the suspense in regard to obtaining title to the land is practically at an end, since it has become almost certain that W. M. Ciaik is sure to obtain the patent to the land on which the town of Nelson is located, there bas been con>iderable demand for building sites, an 1 it is very likely that a number of substantial buildings will be erected at Nelson in tbe near future. Since a qu uantine has been placed on all stock at G. and Forks, over fifty men bave been to woik on the wajon road that is being built from Nelson to Marcus via the Lone Ranch and Boulder creek passes and if Ihe present favorable weather continues it is expected to have a very good winter road completed within two weeks time. Thus the public ill be afforded a first-el iss route to and from tbe railway without having 10 travel through British territor y at all. A good wajon road has been completed to the Surprise propeity. Bert Campbell, tbe owner of it, has had several good offers for this ground but prefers to open it up himself before he sets a price on it. The Surprise lead bat been positively traci il au. oss six claims and within few rods of tbe British line, lhe eluim at tbe noith tpd of tbe lead is the Klataway. so that the development being done on tbe Su prise wil practically develop tbe whole group.

Last Monday the following notice wrs posted on the custom house door at Cascade City and Grand Forks by Do- minionjVeterinary Inspector Hicken bottom, wbo bas been operating in this section for some time past: QUARANUINE NOTICE. All horses coming from tbe United Sfates to Grand Folks will not be permitted to proceed without special permission from Customs officer or the Dominion Inspector. By order Dominion Department of Agriculture', R. HlCKENBOT OM, Dom. Inspector. Grand Forks. Nov. 22,1897. The cause for this, according to this gentlemans say so, is that he bas discovered glanders among the horses of some of the freighters fiom the other side of the line. By the terms of this quarantine teams coming from Marcus are permitted to come as far as G and Forks, where they are permitted to unload their freight and returned to Marcus, but not to go any further unless they subj ret tbeir horses to the Mallein test to decide whether or not they were effected with glanders. As there seems to be considerable dissatisfaction from all sides regarding this ticup, and it is intimated pretty strongly that Mr. Hicienbottom is using his cfll ill cloak to extort money from the owners of horses. One of the reasons given for tbis opinion is tbe great difference in tbe price that gentleman has been charging tor his services, which according to reports range in price from $1 to $15. It is iurther claimed that their is not now and has not been a case of gl nders in the country, and that what Mr. 1 lickenbot- tom calls glanders, is nothing mo-eth.in aggravated rases ot pt.eumonia w rl h have been prevalient among the horses of this section all summer. It is further charged, admitting that glanders existed, Mr. Hickenbottom had no authority to charge for bis sei vices as he was paid by dominion government to perform this woik. In order that both si ies of the question might be fully undeietood Mr. Hid on- bottom was seen by a representative of the Miner and in reference to tbe above reports that gentleman said: "I have made no charge whatever for inspecting Canadian horses. I am entitled to a fee of fljfor the inspection of every American horse tbat enters Canadian soil. This entitles him to entiy at tha Custom house and nothing moie. "All Canadian horses are entitled to inspection and the Mallein test free. When the sum of $15 was asked it covered the inspection fee and also the fees for putting tbe animal through the mallein test, and tbat only in cases where they were American horses "Hereafter no American horses will be permitted to pass Grand Forks that the owner has not got a certificate from the State Veteiinaiy Surgeon of Washington showing that it had passed tbe Mallein test. This well stop all tbis talk about people being gulled. "As to glanders, I have found two i r three cases, one of which has been shot and the others will be disposed if Monday. Was a Great Success. The d me social given last Tuesday evening under the auspices of the Ladies' Aid society, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George Ingraham, is an event in tbe social annals of tli; city that will long be remembered by those present. In Older to accommodate the large attendance, there being over 100 present, the house was taxed to its utmost capacity. The evening was spent in playing whist, hearts and other g lines, interper- sed wtih both vocal aid instrumental music. About 10 o'clock a sumptous repast, prepared by thc ladies if the society, was served, after which the festivities of the occasion were continued to nearly midnight when those pre sent relunctcntly wended tbeir way home feeling tbat the evening had been profitably as well as socially spent. To the hospitality of Mr. aid Mrs. Ingraham is iargely due the success of tbe occasion, who teemed to vie with each other in making theirgues s feci at home. Tbe receipts of the evening amounted to (9.20 wbic j has been turned over to Mrs. James Addison, tbe treasurer of the society. May Move the Church. Owing to the fapt that the Presbyterian church is situated at the western extremity of Upper Grand Forks townsite and thus necessitates a walk of over a mile for the residents of tbc city proper. There is a strong f 1 eling that the church should be moved to some intermediate point between the two towns, where the people of both Grand Forks and the Addition could attend tbe services. It is most likely that something in this matter will be done at an eaily date as tbe present location ofthe church is to far from the center of the resi lent part of the city. Messrs. Norris & Smith wishes it distinctly understood that all sanitary work must be settled for be fere 'he 10 h of eachironth or s'eps willbe taken to collect the same. In order to save costs propei ty owners had better see that thiir sanitary bill is paid on or before the above date. LOCAL NOTES. The turkey's have cume down off the perch. W. K.

A TIIIBUTE OF SONG, HERE Is no place ou earth w li e r o utter helplessness comes out so strongly, where the ceremonies In human use full so powerless before the majesty of the occasion, ns at a funeral. It need not lie Unit one's heart shrill lie Interested. 'l'he obsequies of a stranger, conducted with all the pomp anil faulty of church and state, wllh the liieliiiieliiily rolling drum of the military funeral, or tlie gorgeousness of the Masonic regalia apron—all are alike Inadequate and unavailing. But once In my life have 1 witnessed a ceremony that was us grand and impressive as the silent, awful occasion that was ever given lu the dead, I will tell you of n funeral which lingers lu my memory ns the grandest, most solemn, and belli ting ceremony that was ever given lu Ihe dead. It was rumored many years ago Hint a poor widowed woman, leading a hard life of unending labor, was called tu part with the une thin:,' dear tu her— lier only child. Mother nnd daughter had tolled together for fifteen years, uml lhe only lilt uf sunshine fulling lulu their durk lives wns that shed by their living eompanloushlp, Hut the girl bad always been sickly. Under the In-art broken iiintlior's eyes she hud faded and wasted away with consumption ami nt lasl ihe day came when the wan fare failed iu answer with lis ghusily smile tho anxious, tear-bllnded eyen of the mother. The poor yuting creature wns dead. For muny months ihe pair bad I a supported by ihe elder woman's sowing, mnl li wus in iho character nf inn ployer l bad become acquainted with .Mrs. Oi'd nip nnrl her Btory. Hy un occu- Bloual visit iu Hie nwful heights of nu East Bide ten eul where they lived, by a few honks nnd with sonic comfort- lug words, I hurl won tbe love nf the dying gill. Her grateful thoughts turn o.l in her last hours to the small ninn Imr nf friends she possessed, nmi she besought her mother lu notify me nf the day of her funeral and ask me to attend. The summons reached mc upon une of lhe wildest days preceding Christmas. A sleet that was not ruin nud a rain thnt wns not snuw eame pelting from all points of the compass. A wind that walled In the chimney and bowled In the street told bow truly dreadful fur outdoor purposes was the weather of the day. I piled Hie glowing grilles; I drew closer the curtains anil shut oift tbe gloom of tbe December afternoon; I turned on the gas and sat down devoutly thankful that I had cut all connection with the witched weather— wheiianliislallinentof It burst In on me ln the shape of Purepn Rosa. She was Eupln'osyne I'nrepn at that time, and tbe operatic Idol of tbe city. Muffled with tippets, flecked with snow, glowing wllh the short encounter she had had will) the elements rushing up the steps from her carriage, she threw herself into au easy cbaJr and proclaimed the horrors Of the outer world to be be. yotlrl description. And even as we congratulated our- selves on the prospect uf a delightful duy together there came the summons for me tu go io the humble funeral of the poor sewing woman's daughter. I turned the little tear-blotted uote over anil groaned, "This is terrible," said I; "it's Just the one errand Unit could take trie nut to-day; hut I must go." Ami then I told Parepa ihe circumstances nmi speculated un lhe length uf time I should be gone, and suggested means of amusement iu my absence. "Hut 1 shall go Willi yuu," said the great, good-hearted creature, "Your throat, ami old Bateman, und your concert to-night!" I pleaded. "If I get another 'froggy' note in my vuice it won't matter much; I'm hoarse ns a raven now," sho returned, So shu rewound her throat with the long, while comforter, pulled uu her worsted gloves, und oil' lu the storm we went together. We climbed Bight after night of narrow, dark stairs tu lhe lop floor, where tho widow dwelt In u miserable llitlu room nut inure thun i> iinzru feet square. The canvas-back hearse, peculiar to the $26 funeral, Stood lu the street Irolnw, anil thu awful cherry-stained box with Its rufflo nf glazed white muslin stood ou uncovered trestles In the center of the room above, There was the mother, speechless lu In i* grief, before that box—a group "1 hard-working, kindly hearted neighbors silling about, It wus useless to say the poor woman wns prepared for the Inevitable end ii was cold comfort iir speak to bet* uf the daughter's ra* lease frnm puln and suffering. The Ire- reft creature, in ber utter loneliness, was thinking of herself nnd the awful fate—of the approaching moment when Unit box and ils precious burden would be tnken away and leave her wholly alone. So, therefore, with a sympathizing grasp uf the poor, worn, bony hand, we sat silently down to "attend the funeral." The undertaker's man, wllh a screwdriver in his hand, jumped about in the passage to keep warm. Tbc creaky liuuls of tbe minister belonging to the .S-.J funeral were heard on the stairs. There was a catarrhal conversation held outside between them as lo the enormity uf the weather, and, probably, the bad taste of the deceased In selecting such a bad time to die was discussed. Then the minister came in with a pious sniff uml siuud revealed, a regular Stlgglns as to get-up—a dry, self* sufBcient man, Icier thnn the day nnd colder thnn the storm, He deposited his hat und black gloves nud wet umbrella on the poor Utile bed in tbe corner; lie slapped his baud vigorously together; he took himself In well-merited fashiou by the ears nud pulled them Into glowing sensation, und lifter thawing out fur a moment plunged into business. He rattled merrily through some so* lected sentences from the Bible. He gave us a prayer tbat Bounded like peas lu u dried bladder, and he came to amen with a Jerk lhat brought me up like a patent snatHi*. He pulled ou his old gloves and grabbed bis rusty hat, ami with his umbrella dripping inky tears over the well-scrubbed floor he offered a set form uf condolence to the broken-hearted mother. Ho told her uf ber sin In rebelling against the decree of Providence, lie assured her that nothing could bring the dead hack. He Inveighed against the folly or the world in general, and this poor woman In particular; und then he made a hor- rlble blunder, and shewed he didn't kuow even the sex of the dead, hy saying: "lie cannot come to you, but you must go lo hiin." This was a settler for Parepa anil myself. We looked nt tlie departing minister in blank astonishment, The door swung wide, we saw the screw-driver waving ln the air ns tlie undertaker's man held converse with ihe clergyman. A hush fell uu everybody gathered In the Utile room. Not one word had been uttered of consolation, of solemn import, ur befitting the occasion. It was the emptiest, hollow- est, most unsatisfactory moment I ever remember. Then Parepa aruse, ber cloak falling about her noble figure like mourning drapery. She stoud beside Unit miserable cherry wood box. She looked a moment on the pinched, wasted, ashy fuee upturned toward her from within It.

Modem Discovery Proves a Celebrated Mesa Whs Formerly Inhabited. Some measure of the romantic interest which originally clung lo It will be restored lotlre famous Mesa Encaiitadu If. us Prof. I*'. W: Hodge, of the Smith* suiiian Iiisiitutloti, now reports, truces nf human babitiitiuii have been I'uund on thnt historic rock. A few weeks ago Prof. William I.lbhey, who managed to scale the tableland, came back wllh lhe report that there were no evidences that human font had ever (rod upon it. Ills successor was more successful, however, nm) claims to have discovered fragments nf pottery, arrows, shell bracelets, stone axes uud oilier unmistakable proofs of the truth of the tradition that lhe mesa was once the stronghold of a people descended from prehistoric time. This discovery, if correctly reported, bears out the truth of some very rid traditions respecting the Acoma and other Indiana formerly living in New Mexico, in 1540 Francisco Vaaqueit Cnrniiado, who went Into ihis territory upon what is known as the "Ooronado expedition," sent back some very Interesting reports as tu the manners and customs uf Hie natives whom ho found In Aeuiiui. Pedro do Casleiiiida, who was a member of the expedition, actually describes just such an Inaccessible tableland known as the Mesa Encaii* tnda, a tableland known then us Acii- r*o. This mesa held a village nf aboul 200, whose Inhabitants "wero rubbers feared by the whole Country round about, 'l'he village was very strung because lt*waa out of reach, having steep sides In every direction, and su high that It was a very good musket thnt could throw a ball so high." A single entrance by a stairway led lo a point where the explorers "had lo go up by means of holes In Hie rock, 111 whicli they put the points of their feet, holding on at tlie same time by their hands. AI tiie top was space enough for cornfields anil for large cisterns for lhe collection of water." This account Is substantially corroborated by other members of tlie expedition mnl by Alvar- ndo, a captain under Cnroiindo. All the reports uf the expedition, which took place during the years 16-10, 1.141 anil 1542, agree In describing the Inhabitants of the rock as a people dwelling In a state of semi-civilization and enjoying their absolute Immunity from attack on nny side. The documents In which these narratives are authenticated were carefully luvestigatnterl by Prof. George Parker WInshlp. of Harvard University, and first published In complete form by tbe Smithsonian bureau of ethnology in 1808. If Prof, llndge has found Iraees of life on Ihe celebrated mesa, bis discovery will tend to prove nol only lhe authenticity of lhe Spanish reports, but of the Indian traditions as to the prehistoric life which existed In Ihe southwest of this country long before thu Spaniards first began lhe conquest of American soil.—Chicago Record.

The Parliament of Great Britain, tho supreme legislative body of the British empire, is summoned by a writ of the sovereign, Issued out of chancery nt least thirty-five days previous to the time of meeting. If a vacancy occurs In the Commons while In session a writ of election Is issued upon motion in the House; if during a reeess, at lhe Instance of the Speaker. During recent years It has become customary for Parliament to meet in an annual session, extending from about the middle of February to about the end of August. Every annual session is ended by a prorogation; a Parliament is closed with a dissolution, the average life of Victoria's Parliaments being about t'ireo and a half years. The dissolution of Parliament tuny occur at any time by the will of the sovereign, and a new election must then be held. Seven years constitute the statutory limit of a Parliament's life, but no Parliament har3 ln the present century lasted so long. The members of the Commons are all elected for one Parliament and receive no salary.

The first Is related by Applnn of the siege of Thoniiscyrn lu Pontus ln connection with Lucullus, when lie was engaged In ills war against Mltliridales. Turrets were brought up, mounds were built and huge mines were made by Ihe Etonians, 'l'he people of Thenilseyrn dug open these mines from above, and through lhe holes cast down upon the workmen bears nnd other wild animals uud swarms uf bees, before whom Ibe enemy fled preolpltately, The second Incident was seen nt Ihe siege uf the Dnnes and Norwegians upon Chester, when that city was defended by lhe Saxons with their Gallic auxiliaries. The Saxons threw down the besiegers ull the beehives to be found In (be town, nnd the bees so maltreated the enemy that they are obliged to desist and soon left the city lu peace. Didn't Jlean It.

('. The property was bonded some time ago by the Fern! company on tho strength of an Ih inch : cropping which gave a result of $100 in ' gold per ton. The .Fern company spent $-5000 in the venture aud sunk a shaft about -Kl feet, without encountering the lead. Tho bond was thrown up and tlie, Lilldblade brothers, who wel'c the owners, took up the work where it had been abau- ! doiied. They sunk live feet more in thei shaft and ran across a six-foot ledge of de- \ composed white quartz which ran as Jilgh \ as $2700 In gold to thc ton. The rock is' pale blue, thoroughly honeycombed and soft. The first test was by panning, and I two small chunks crushed and panned out showed a line of colors about four inches | in length ami containing between -to and j BO cents, Twelve men have been put to work drifting both ways on the ledge and sinking the shaft to a'greater depth. The | dip is about lo degrees. The owners will , work it steadily during the winter and will put iu a rawhide trail for shipping.

Work has been done .'in several places along l'riehard ereek this fall, finding good pay in places where in early days work was attempted, and the men were driven out by water. The theory is that < the work done on the creek since has so] thoroughly puddled it that the water j runs more on the surface, instead of seep- Ing through to bedrock. Work has resumed on the Mother Lode. the. elaim which lirst called attention to the gold quair'tz of the Coeur d'Alenes, There are a mini- ber of blanket leads on the property, cropping out along the face of the bluff south ' of Prlchard creek, several of which have ' been worked with satisfactory results. Hut hack iu the hills is a mammoth pel-' pendicular ledge which cut's all tin* blanket veins. Work on the blanket veins has , always stopped at that break, but the proposition now is to cut through it and then raise. Fifty feel, is expected lo carry them through the big lead, after which the contract calls for the raise to go 50: feet farthqr.; Km ther work will depend upon conditions at. that Time. The big I pel pellicular vein is expected to be tlie , mainstay of the camp some day, liut thus far it hllfl been carefully avoided by min- i ers. It carries gold, silver, copper and lead, being purely a smelting proposition; that can not be worked until there is rail- ! road transportation. Greiil Q-unrta Region Predicted. Col. (leorge, W. Cook of Denver, who] visited Butte last week, has made'an,-in-,j Vestment iu the Basin country, in Idaho. I lind is prepared to spend a.huge, sum of j money in developing some gold properties thefe that give promise of being exceed-: ingly rich, according to the Biilte-fnter- Mountain. Col. Cook went into the Ba- sin country with J. l'\ Horner, .manager of the Crcscent-Catalpo mine's at Lead-j ville, and spent some time iu looking over properties at Placerville. The indications were so pioniising that Col. Cook and Mr. lloriier took a bond and lease ..upon a group of properties) aud started develop: ment at once. After having made a care'- ful examination of the country, Col.'Cook predicted that, it would become a great. quarts! mining region. He wilKsink two shafts on the proporty he has secured aud ruu a tunnel this winter to. explore,the | properly. He expects to find a large body f of milting iut, in-which ease IVe" will put in j a large milling plant. Ore, Chute In the Ileelii. For, three weeks the new ore chute I in the flecla at Burke,' Idaho, lias been ; improving, until now there is four feet of | ore, a great part of it of a shipping grade, i and it promises soon to take-its-, place I among the great mines of the Coeur | d'Alenes. No arrangements have yet been made for milling, it being the intention to drive further into the chute before any sloping is dune. When the time conies the mill of the. Milwaukee Mining Company will probably be used, as the eon- trolling interest in the two. companies are owned by the same parties. At present the mill is under leuse to the Mammoth, but it is terminable.at any time by either party. ■ . In lliu'li Ore Gululi. Boulder, Mont., reports that the extension of the tunnel on the property of the Uigh Ore (Jold aiid Copper Mining Company in High Ore gulch has proved very satisfactory. On this property last year an immense amount of- work was done under the supervision of M. L. Ilewelt, land a tunnel was run about a thousand ! feet. It failed lo reach the lead and i the owners of the mine concluded to spend u little more, money in tnat direction, so a contract was recently let to extern! the tunnel 300 feet further. It had been run 'a distance of aboul 100 feel when a fine : body of ore was struck The lead*is two : feet wide where struck and isa'rich ga- i lenn ore that can af once be handled with ' prolit. Prom WliiNimi. Iteporls from Winston, Mont., are that both the Stray Horse and the Kast Pacilic mines are in a very flourishing condition. Botli have large forces nf .men at work and the owners have no coiise of complaint. Both mines are showing remarkably well. . The development work has been satisfactory in every respect and the Stray Horse and Oie East Pacific deserves places in the list of Montana's steady producers. During the worst of the recent slump in Silver it was reported that the East Pacilic would .have to elose. Robert Hell of this city, the main owner, j said that while the profits were naturally reduced, he had no intention of closing down unless the white metal fell below the 47 cent mark and remained there. Strike** Often Successful. Figures are seldom entertaining, but there is food for serious thought In the bulletin recently seut out by Comruis- slouer Carroll D. Wright hearing upon the labor situation in the United Staten. From this olUclul document it appears thnt more than 1,500 strikes have occurred in the United States sinee 1879, Involving nearly 400,000 laborers nnd costing several niilllons of dollars. What Is even more significant than the above figures, however, Is the percentage of these striken which have been successful. In a tabulated statement Commissioner Wright sets forth the exact number of strikes which have occurred annually In the lTuited States since 1879. It appears that from only thirty-two strikes in 1870, Involving some 4,000 men, women uud children, the record has grown to u yearly average of 130 strikes, Involving sonic 'J-V q5o operatives. In other words, tlie discontent of the laboring masses of tho country has Increased sis-fold during the past eighteen years. As to the result of theso various strikes, Commissioner Wright shows thut u large percentage of them In recent years have either succeeded in whole or In part. During the lirst three-quarters of the period, however, the domnnds of labor secured but little recognition at the hands of capital; and only 10 per cent, of the strikes occurring.between 1871) nnd 1891 succeeded;4.'l per cent, being only partially successful and 41 per cent, total failures. Since that time better results have.been achieved. Co-operative Wholesale Society. A new department has been opened by the English Co-operative Wholesale Society for llie purpose of making advances of capital to Its federated societies, to be lent by them to their individual members for'the purchase of cottages, the deeds of the property pufc chased lo bo deposited with the whole sale society. Advances v.ill be mad* to the extent of three-fourths of the to> tal cost of the properties, nnd the societies will, be responsible for the repayment of ..U.ie advances by equal quarterly Installments of principal and Interest, spread over a period not exceeding twei'ify years'. ;■ SonictiinrHUciicflt Employers. Rays the'St. Louis Globe-Deniocrnt: *The' assertion that employers often designedly provoke strikes Is undoubtedly true.In sonu? instances. Charges have often been made that strike leaders were .in the pay of .employers, and ha'd InclretP'a strike for"t.h"e benefit of tho latter. • This would noequsS for some of .the labor contests of the past dozen years, In jvhlch every reasonable person couTd see that strikes were certain 'to' fair.'
