GOVERNOR HAWKINS ADVERTISE.
MEHT OF HIMSELF.

We have yet to see a paper in the
United States that admires Governor
Hawkins funeral circular to the other
Governors. The President may die
yet and if SO there will be a general
feeling and expression Of sorrow COM
ing from the hearts of the people, but
it will not be in response to the order
or suggestion Of any Governor or other
official, The Charleston News and
Courier says:
Governor Hawkins has made a fool
Of himself very successfully, without
good reason and without excuse. He is
not 40 undertaken nor a journalist.
There was no obligation upon him to
call for a national funeral. and he only
did it to advertise himself at the pub.
lie expense ct a moment of general
sorrow. He is advertised, but not in
the way he expected.

There seems to be some uncertainty
as to what combination now controls
the majority Of tho stock of the Mem
phis q Charleston road. We have
heard Of no call for a meeting Of the
stockholders, although there IS usually
a meeting held during the month Of
September. 1t is probable that the
names Of the holders of the majority
Of the stock will develop at the next
meeting.
It is iatimated that, inasmuch as il
is probable that the owners of the ma
iority Of Che stock have interests more
or less in conflict with the interests Of
the East Tennessee, Virginia & Geor-
gia Railroad Company, they will prob
ably resist the so-ealled lease of the
Memphis q Charleston to the East
Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia. This
lease, which is modification of the
original lease in some material re.
spects, was only fled in Memphis last
Saturday, although it was fled in
Madison and other counties along the
line some time ago.

\ REGENT LAND DECISION.
Cultivation Not a Necessity in Pre-
 emptIon and Homestead Cases.
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, ]

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, { WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 13, looO. ]
 HON. CHAs. DEvENs, Atty Genl.
 STR: I have ihe honor to submit herewith abstract No. S9, of the Com missioner of lhe General Land Office, received with bis letter of the oth ultimo, embracing eighty-four eases f the action of the Board of Eqult- able Adjudication under section 240O, Revised Statutes.
 Case No. S4, homestead of T. w.. Lnning. Pueblo District, Colorado, does not, in my opinion, require con- firmation. The cause of suspension as ,tated by the Commissioner, IS the failure to make actual cultivation or the soil, although the land had been made the home of the party, and de voted to grazing purposes for the stat utory perIcd.
 IL was established at an early peri od of the administration of the pre- emption law that m the grazing dis tricts. stock raising and dairy pro- duction were so akin to agricultural pursuits us to justify the allowance of entry upon proof of permanent set tlement and use of the land for such nurposes. The same construction should apply to homestead settlement, there being, in contemplation of the law. no difference in the requirements of the statute respecting the nature of the facts to be performed by the settler.
 With this exception, l recommend that the entries he confirmed accord ing 10 Ihe abstract presented, and have accordingly certified my approv- al, and act of confirmation thereon, in which action 1 request your con. currence. C. SCHURZ, Secretary.

Affairs at Silver King.

A CITIZEN reporter this morning met W. k. Robinson, resident of Pioneer District, and from him learn ed much of interest concerning that most promising section. The Silver King mine, which ought to rank all most as one of the wonders of the world, is being gradually brought up to a high standard of production. For some time past experiments have been making in the treatment of the ores, especially with the !ixivauon process, and the roasting furnace which was used in connection herewith has been supplemented by the addition of three more 5-tOn rOasters. This will enable the company to use their 20-stamp mill to much better advantage, and will supplant the concentration process to q considerable extent. The work now being done on the 3l0-f foot level of the mine is developing an ore body of almost fabulous richness, aud Mr. Robinson states that some of the spec linens which were recently shown him from that part of the mine exceeded in richness anything ev. before taken from the wonderful ledge.
 4 new 1O-stamp mill is being erect ed on Queen Greek, about three miles from Pinal, for the Surpriser mine which IS showing up wonderfully well in gold quartz.
 The old '76 mill Is about to start up on the rich ores of the Mount View Companys properties, which includes the Last Chance mine
 On the East Union claim, situated about a mile northwest of the Silver King, owned by MT. Robinson and two other gentlemen, 12j-foot shaft and 5O-toot drift have revealed 7-foot vein, two feet of which Is high grade
 On the North King the work of prospecting for the ledge is still in progress with good success.
 Altogether the outlook for Pioneer District is very flattering, and it is more than probable that before long number of fine prospects will be de- veloped into paying properties.

Another Good Boy.
lDetrolt Free Press.


 A Detroit grocer was the other day hungrily waiting for his clerk to re- turn from dinner and give him a chance at his own monday meal, when boy came into the store with 2 basket in his hand and said:
 ''I seed hoy grab this ere basket from the door and run, and l run af- ter hlm and made him give 1t up"
 My lad, you are an honest boy. "
 |" Yes, sir
 And good boys should always be encouraged. In q box in the back room there are eIght dozen eggs. You may take them home to your mother and keep the basket"
 The grocer had been saving these eggs for days and weeks to reward some one. In rewardIng a good boy he also got eight dozen bad eggs car ried out of the neighborhOod free Of cost, and he chuckled little as he walked hOmeward.
 The afternoon waned, night came and went, ard once more the grocer went to his dinner. When he re- turned he Was picking his teeth and wearing a complacent smile. Ills eye caught basket of eight dozen eggs IS he entered the store, aud he asked:
 Been buying some eggs"
 Yes; got hold of those from a farmers boy, replied the clerk.
 "A \ lame boy with blue cap on?"
 Yes
 1.-Two front teeth out?'
 |" Yes"
 The grocer sat down and examined the eggs. The shells had been washed clean, but they-were the same eggs that the boy had lugged home tbe day before.

Some of the new slang is published
 in St. Louis; When girl is '' flick she is knowing when she is "lency " she Is quite the reverse of knowing. If you wish to convey to your hearts idol that you adore her transcenden; beauty just tell her she is "Oppres- sive." A Johnny boy is a new variety of the genus homo who knows how to dance like an angel-suppOs- ing that angels would so far forget themselves as to dance-who wears good clothes and is an idiot in every other respect. The feminine equIva- lent of "the Johnny boy is gener- ally called Evangellne. If you disapprove of place, person or party you may either refer to it as "sn:de,
 gCmmy," or "toppy." Excessive admiration wrecks itself upon expres- siOns in such glOsses as balmy,
 " harmonious" "gulative." Gull- tive seems to mean a great many things. It is sort of nOn-commital word, which can be used to fill up sentence or express a doubtful opinion

That the old superstition that Fri day is an un.ucky day for travelling still keeps people at home on that day is proved by the experience of nearly every railway conductor. Of the pas sengers on the New York division of the Pennsylvania railroad, fifteen per cent are carried on Friday. whiie there is an average of seventeen per cent. carried on each of the other five week days. In other words, there is a falling off on Friday of nearly one eighth as compared with the average of other week days The days of heaviest travel are approximately Monday with nineteen per cent, and Saturday with eighteen per cent, there being many persons going Go and re- turning from business on those days, The percentage shown on other week days are On Tuesday, l6. 25; Wednes- day, 1j.75; Thursday, 16, and Fri day, b.
