Previous arrangements having been made by
Mr.. Marcus X. Mayer for their reception,
everything was in readiness. Four car
riages waited for them at the depot, and
quickly conveyed them to the hotel. Mile.
Bernhardt was spellbound for moment at
the scene, as she alighted from the carriage
and stood On the veranda Of the hotel. and
turned her gaze on the mighty cataract.
She stood alone, away from the party, and
seemed to take in the whole view, giving
vent to her feelings by exclaiming in broken
English, beautiful" ''grand," '.magnif-
cent" She seems very susceptible to cold,
for, although the day was moderately warm,
she was plainly wrapped in a long fur-lined
dolman. and over that wore n mink ttppet
She had stood only few minutes when she
turned and ran into the hotel wringing her
hands and calling to the attendant for a fire.
She was ushered into a coy room with a good
fire on the frs, floor, and expressed her thanks
by saying. Good. good She is thankful
for anv attention shown her. and expresses
herself. although in poor English, in most
agreeable manner. Breakfast was set in
a private parlor ut L .30, after which the
party lost no time in making themselves
ready to see the Falls, as they only had three

were again brought into requisition. just as

the city of New York, exceeds ], 100000.
Among cities Of over 10000 inhabitants
the largest per cent Of increase in ten years
has been in Pittsburgh, Pa which has grown
from sc ,C76 to l56, 3sl. This is an increase
of eighty-two per cent. Next comes Cleve-
land, Ohio. which has grown from 92.s29 to
100, I42, the rate of increase being - per
cent. Next comes Chicago, rising from 1885,
s77 to 5Oa, 3O4, being GO per cent.
Among tine smaller cities the rate Of in
crease has been in several instances much
greater. Minneapolis, Mimi. has grown
from Ii ,056 to 1851. gain of 259 per cent
Denver, Col, has increased from 1853 to
81, $50, being 649 per cent. Virginia City,
Nevada, is set down as having grown from a
village Of s67 to q city of Is, 105. a rate of
would seem, must head the list in point OF
percentage; but LeadviIle. Col, takes the
lead, having had no existence in 1870, but
numbering IA, $50 in 1850. We leave to
others the feat Of reckoning the percentage.
In a few instances, cities approach each
other very closely in the number of their
inhabitants. Dubuque, Iowa, has 22,254,
and Galveston, Texas, 22,253, lacking but
one Of being exactly the same. Kingston,
n. Y, has 1892, and Meriden. Conn, 49,

Bluffs. Iowa, s,05s. Newburg, y. Y, is, $50.
Amsterdam, N. Y, and WaltiiaIn, Mass, have
each Hill. Attleboro, Mass, has Hill,
thus requiring only repetition of one figure
to express the number. Chillicothe, o.. and
Woburn, Mass, have each 1898. Quincy,
Mass. and New london, CT, have each TO-
500. Charleston, s. c.. has 1899, thus
lacking but one Of round $4,000.
Among the States the greatest per cent. OF
increase has been in Colorado, which has
grown from 80. 064 to 1874 $40, gain of 3S9
per cent Nebraska is not far behind, with a
gain Of 2i;s per cent. having now 452, 43e
against l22. 1913 ten years ago. Kansas comes
next with gain of l73 per cent. and an in.
crease from 1864 1893 to 995. $3.50 in ten years
These are all outstripped by the Territory
of Dakota. which mas made a gain of s53 pei
cent, and increased from 4,lSl in 1870, to
1876, $50 in 1880. Washington Territory has
increased PA per cent, and Arizona Terri
tory 3l9 per cent. the former increasing
from 1856 to -, 100, and the latter from
1868 to 4O,4il.
Leaving out the District Of Columbia, the
Territories have increased from 272. l66 to
Cos, G34, gain of considerably more than loo
per cent The States, during the ten years
have gained about 30 per cent.

OIL As Black as Night.

Abont seven miles west Of tho "boro
limits" of Foxburg, on the Blue Jay
Peninsula, is place called Balltown,
and among other developments going on
in that vicinity is well that produces
black oil. This oil is so black that oven
the elimmor of the brightest light can
not be seen through bottle containing
sample of it. II bears perfect re-
semblnnce, in fact, TO the Substance
known ms coal-ssr, and emits a powerful
odor, precisely like that OF spirits of tar.
What it is good for, or what particular
qualities aud eloments it possesses, have
not yet been determined upon, though
we may depend upon il that it would
not exist rs a mineral production unless
there were some use 10 which ii could be
applied. What that use may be, how
ever. is a question for future settlement.
In it's present state this oil Qf we may
call it OLD, will not burn without emit
ting q dense, black smoke, almost as
black MS tho liquid itself, which deposits
a thick SCOT, that presents the idea Of it's
being very useful production for the
manufacture Of lamp-black or other
substance of that description. 1t has
also been suggested TINT it may turn out
to be very valuable as basis OF ex-
traction for analine dyes, though this is q
subject that no one con speak upon with
authority till q chemical analysis Of the
substance has taken place, and this, we
understand, will be commenced imme-
diatelv. Tho strike is certainly on ex-
traoI binary one. and rs far rs we can
learn netting like it has ever before been
known il the history of the oil trade
! No other we'll in or noar tho vicinity has
anything approaching to it. The oil
seems to be found in the slate at depth
of 273 feet, and whnt is tho moro singu-
lar is, that, although the drill passes
through the same kind of slate and ut
the same depth la adjacent wells, no

The Romance of a Tramp.

During the Centennial year, among
the thousands who went through the
Centennial buildings one day in July
was tramp named George -. AS
he was passing down the steps, after an
inspection of the building, he stumbled
and fell, breaking his arm. A Capitol
policeman picked him up, and after pre-
pairing cot sent for a surgeon, who SGT
tho arm. THIS over, the tramp asked
the privilege of setting around IN the
Capitol Park until ha got strong enough
to go about again, saying he had no
money, md knew that hab;tual loungers
we're liable to arrest on charge of va
grancy. The desired privilege was
granted; and, in addition, an arrange
ment was made by which ho was given
comfortable sleeping place in the build
ing. The officer also managed to bring
enough food from his boarding house to
supply him. In about two weeks the
tramp gave notice that he would start
West. He was exceedingly thankful
for the kindness shown him by the Of
6oer, and said If he ever got half o
chance, he would endeayor to repay it.
Tho tramp met O Centennial tourist
from Salt Lake City who happened to
know Lis father. After talking, the
tourist offered to take him West II he
wanted to 60. Tho offer was accepted,
and tho Capitol policeman, Arthur
Thomas, went to the depot with them
and bade them goodbye.
Now let four years pass and the rest
of the story comes in. Arthur Thomas,
who was Capitol policeman In 1876, is
now, and has been for more than year,
Secretary Of Utah Territory, having
been appointed on the recommendation
OF number Of leading men, Republicans
and Democrats. Some weeks since q
man named George entered Mr..
Thomas Office in Salt Lake to ascertain
something about the boundaries and
survey OF certain sections Of mineral
lands. They recognized each other and
had long talk. The tramp had pros
pered. Besides having wife, he can
draw and have honored his check for
S100 900. Everything he has touched
since he has been in the Territory has
turned into money one way or another.
