UNEARTnINa A METEoR.-Tne Jack

UNEARTHIHd A METEoR.-Tne Jack
son, Mimi, correspondent of the ST.
Paul Pioneer Press says: The large
meteor that was reported to have fallen
near Worthingion last Saturday fell in
Emmet county, Ia, about four miles
south of the State line and fifteen miles
from Jackson. 1t appeared from here,
to those that observed it, to pass from
northwest to southwest, and left n track
of smoke not unlike fuse shell, only a
great deal more. The report was distinct
ly heard here as well as at points further
east. The shock of the missile striking
the ground could be easily felt at this
distance. 1t tore hold in the ground
twelve feet across at The surface and threw
sods as large as mans body distance
of ten rods. A number of men set TO
work digging after the meteor, and found
it buried fifteen feet below the surface,
ten feet of which was hard clay. The
lar gest piece taken out weighed 43l
pounds, and enough smaller pieces were
found to make 500 pounds in all. Those
who saw it strike say it exploded in the
ground. 1t consists Of meteoric iron,
very dense, and thought by some to con
tain silver ore. 1t has ragged outside
covered with white substance which
can be taken of, leaving the hard metal
There is great chance for scientific spec
ulation and investigation.

BETTER LATE THAN NEvER.-It is
not an uncommon thing to hear young
men complain that their early schooling
was deficient in quantity, poor in quality
or, il neither of these-was wasted
through boyish indifferences and folly
They would get better on IN life If they
knew more, they are free to admit, but
they do not see that they are daily vast.
ing opportunities which, if improved.
would give them Il fairly good education.
They think themselves too old too learn,
and spend more time regretting their
lack of knowledge than would suffice
to give them the knowledge they
need Is is said that the father of Pro,
fessor Sumner, of Yale College could
neither read nor write when he came to
this county, young English mechanic.
Within twenty years thereafter he was
known as one of the best Iead men in
Hartford, one of the most cultivated COM
muniues in the country. Instead of vast
ing his time in idle regre;s FOR his den
cient schooling, he learned TO read and
to read to good purpose. In similar
way many Of the best, most honored, and
most successful men our county has known
have begun their acquaintance with let
ters after reaching manhood and there
is 10 reason why the most illitera:e me-
chanic in our land if possessed of natural
ability and sincere purpose, may not in
crease his enjoyment in life, his opportu-
mites for improving his social and finan-
cial condition, and the chances of his fam.
lily for the highest success in life, by an
honest effort to retrieve by study the dis
advantages by which early poverty or
lack OF educational opportunities has sur
rounded him.

LEADVILLE AS 1T rs.

The acme of business prosperity in
Leadville was reached about six weeks
ago. Then merchants had all they could
do, restaurants were crowded, hotels
over1owed, every chair in the saloons
pre>empted, theaters attended by drowsy
seepers, because beds were not to oe had
for coin, lumber fresh from the log fifty
five dollars per thousand, freight from
Webster Uhe end of the Denver and
South Park railroad track FIVE cents per
pound, the stages arrived full of passen-
gers every night and the army of weary
pilgrims a>foot came like crowd of To-
Gusts from the East; real estate way up
naked lots on the principal business
streets 1000 each. All this was six
weeks ago. There has come change.
Merchants are skirmishing for business
and many declare they are not paying
expenses restaurants are going behind.
One of the principal restaurant proprie-
tors told ms that his receipts had fallen
from $4OO to S75 per day his rent is $500
per month and he must inevitably lose his
business. The hotels have now ample
room for all their guest the saloons are
not overrun with custom the theaters
are not patronized as they were lumber
has dropped from $50 to Slipper thousand,
and freight from the end of the track has
fallen to two cents per pound. The com
| ing crowd has lessoned, while the depar-
lures have increased, fity,tive dollars per
thousand for lumber induced the erection
of forty saw-mls high prices for goods
brought in hundreds of merchants while
five cents per pound for freight mention
ed in Kansas and Missouri was of itself
sufficient to send every available quad
ruped in those States to the front to haul
for Leadville. So everything has been
overdone. Real estate has no fixed price,
and lucky is the poor fellow who can get
thirty per cent. of what he considered his
property was we'll worth two months ago.
The whole trouble is, that 20, 900 people
have gone into business that can not
legitimately afford support for over
1900 souls at the outside. The sanitary
condition of Lcadville is not what its ad
mirers could wish, nor do the local press
give the truth in this resrect. Pneumo-
mia is the most prevalent and fatal dis
ease ard the death rate is from fve to
eight daiIy-or say forty-two per week,
just one>half that of San Francisco with
its population of 900 souls. The
cemetery at Leadvile, in use but little
over year. speaks in tones more melan-
choly than words Bodie Ne,Us.

THRILLING EPISODE IN THE LIFE OF
A ADMIRAL AMMEN. OF Admiral Ammen
who has gone to Parss to represent this
country n { he conference respecting the
proposed Ncaraguan inter. ocean ship
canal, the following anecdote is told:
Soon after the California gold fever broke
out the Admiral, then Captain Ammen,
was ordered to take com mand of three or
four hundred recruits and convey them
from New York to California, by way
of Central America. Besides these men,
the vessel was crowded with women and
childsen on their way to join husbands
and fathers IN the land of gold. Six
days out from New York the sailors
showed symptoms Characterization. and
finally mutinied outright, the ships crew
joining in the revolt. The Captain lost
control of his men, and the suspense that
followed, WAS agonizing. Suddenly be-
fore the mutneers had chance to agree
on any concerted plan Of action. the
young naval officer appeared on deck in
full uniform and ordered his recruits to
their places, counseling the crew in the
meaHtime to return to their duties. The
leader innocently ordered him to steL
down from there there being the quar-,
ter deck. He did step down; growl Of
triumph went up from the insubordinates
and shudder of horror ran through the
passengers, who had hoped against nope
that the will of one man could control the
threa atening storm. Then Captain Am
men walked quickly forward, took
piece of chalk from his pocket, and draw
ing line across the deck, said, in his
quiet way, that he would shoot the first
man who crossed it. Then he drew out
pistol and waited the result. A shout
of derision went up, and the leader sprang
forward with an oath, only to fall shot
through the heart; he was followed by
another and another, both of whom shar
ed the same fate, the three bodies form
ing an ugly barricade. The quiet brav
cry Of the man, the promptness and un-
erring aim, coupled with his vested au-
thority, told on the mutineers, and soon
the revolt was over, the leaders in irons,
quiet restored and the lives of hundreds
OF passengers saved.

| AN INFATUATED PENNsYLvANIA
BELLE. Beaver, Pa, a suburb Of Pitts
burg. has an elopement scandal that out
strips the recent conchman escapa1es in
sensationalism. One of the prettest,
weathiest, best-known and really ac-
complished young ladies of the town left
her fathers house and deliberately mar
ried negro, who ia as ugly and ignorant
ms he is black. For some time past An
ME Mason, only twenty years old, had
given her parents a great deal Of trouble
by her reckless, wayward conduct, but
being an only daughter she was spoiled
by indulgence. Her father is United
States storekeeper in Indiana county, but
lives in Beaver and is wealthy Her un-
Gle is ex Chief Justice Daniel Agnew, of
the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. and the
family is really one of the best in that
part OF the State. She had quarreled
with her parents on Wednesday night,
and early Thursday morning she left her
home and met George Jones, coarse,
illiterate negro coal digger, by an ap>
pointment she had made by some un-
known means during the night. At 8
o'clock in the morning Jones and another
negro, accompanied by Miss Mason,
went to Rochester, about a mile from
Beaver and hurried to the house of col
ored clergyman, who married Jones to
Miss Mason in the presence of couple
of white men who were called in to act as
witnesses. The couple then took the
train back to Beaver, where jones hired
room in II small house, which has only
three rooms in it, two Of which were al
ready occupied by negro families. The
reckless girl sent home for her trunk,
piano and some of the ornaments from
her room, and this was the first intima.
tion her mother had Of her marriage.

A STERN The faith
er of Miss Maria Edgeworth, the Eng
lisf novelist, had grim ideas of moral
training. A contributor to the Chicago
Standard relates the following among
other instances Of his harsh discipline
Charlotte Edgeworth, half-sister of Ma
rie (the daughter of the famed beauty,
Honora Sneyd, the second of Mr.. Edge
wortt's four wives), was e beautiful girl
with luxur:ant golden hair. The rector
Of the parish and an officer of the Brit
ish army were dining at Edgeworth's g
town house. After dinner the ladies re-
paired to the library, and after wine the
gentlemen followed. AS they entered the
door of the library the officer exclaimed /:
How beautiful = Mr.. Edgeworth said,
haughtily and quickly: What do you
admire, sir?' He replied: Your daugh-
ter's magn ifcent heir.' Charlotte was
standing in becoming attitude before the
bright CRATE, with her arms resting upon
the mantle piece. Mr.. Edgeworth walked
across the room TO the book shelves, open
ed a drawer, held her head back, and cut
her hair close to her head. As the golden
ringlets fell into the drawer, this extraor-
binary father said Charlotte, what do
you say p Thank you, father Turning
to his guests, lie remarked II will not
allow a daughter Of mine to be vain
