THE NEW YEAR,

But a few hours more, and the
old year will have ran its course,
and the new will be upon us. 1t is
time when a few thoughts on the
past and the future cannot fail to
suggest themselves. The people OF
this city and Territory have had
very little to complain of during
the past year. We have sustained
but few, if any serious losses; no
accidents worth mentioning have
occurred; the general health has
been good, and the business prosper
ity of the Territory, and we may say
of the entire world, will show, we
believe, a better average than any
other period of the words history.
though there have often been times
when one particular country OIL
part of the globe may have en-
joyed greater prosperity.
a year or two ago, it seemed that
the business activity in the Terri
tory especially, would be much
greater than it has been during the
past summer, but it is very for
tunate for US that those hopes
were not realized for the sure
result would have. been d
period of wild and senseless
speculation, our merchants would
have oyerstocked themselves in an.
ticipation of the rush, and the credit
system would have been put to its
utmost tension. It is easy to fore
tell that the consequence of such q
condition of things would be 6
grand financial crash, in which
those only who were already
wealthy would be made more so
while the great body Of the people
would be weighed down by The

WILLIAM q. HOOPER.


This reYered name is now hal
lowed, death having put its seal
upon him who bore and made it
honorable in life. Captain Hooper
is Dead" were the sorrowful words
that flew about the city on Satur-
day morning, and were flashed by
lightning from one side of this
broad continent to the other. The
news struck sorrow and sadness
into a multitude of hearts. The
cold east wind which fairly chilled
the marrow in ones bones, and
seemed a wicked enemy to mankind
only added to the desolate, gloomy
feeling that apparently afflicted
all and made the day one which
willnot be forgotten by this gener-
alton. The going of the cap
tain, as we must still
affeetionately call him, was not unex-
pected: indeed, all who knew of
his condition, realized for som e
weeks that he was suffering from
his last sickness; yet that knowl-
edge does not soften the sorrow nor
lessen the grief that fills and over
whelms the heart at his death. He
had nearly lived out the allotted
three-score and ten years, and we
could not hope that in the course
Of nature his life would be long
spared; still, the heartpain at the
parting is not assuaged. His long
and eventfuI career was marked
everywhere, and at all-times by
good works, Of which all are proud ;
and yet the lamentation over his
going to rest is full of agony. We
must all be cruelty selfish people, or.
We could not grieve that the tired
body has at last found reposel
for in life it never knew quiet or
rest. We must all be exacting, or
we could not desire to bring him
back to pain and activity, to tot
and suffering, only that he might
add to his good deeds. IF we could
but overcome nature, and allow
reason to mould and control the
feelings and impulses of the heart
the dearest friends of Captain
Hooper would not mourn over his
release. But we cannot crush that
Which has been implanted within
US, and the reverence and affection
for the good and the true, excite
the mourning for Captain Hooper.
He was one Of those grand and
pronounced characters that stand
out prominently, and around
which the masses float. And
While he was above and
beyond the masses in the pos
session Of many of the better and
nobler qualities OF man, the bond
Of affection between him and the
human family was strong indeed.
His love for the race was one of the
most pronounced qualities Of his
grand character. And where his
friendships fell, they were of the
warmest, as his condolences were
the most generous and complete,
While he was the friend to man, and

"Oh, very well, Mr.. Architect, that

A Tribute to De Long.

Chief Engineer Melville, in his test
mony before the Jeanette Board of
Inquiry, says of Captain De Long:
81 did not know that it would be
deemed proper for me to pass judgment
upon my commanding officer, but, to
M mind, he was as good man as could
be assigned to any duty at any time or at
any place. He always seemed equal to
any emergency, and all that he did was
done with his whole soul. Had L sup
posed that l would be permitted to speak
of my commanding officer OF his conduct
l should not have allowed five minutes
to pass without bearing my testimony to
his worth and unfaltering devotion to
duty. But words of mine are of little
value beside the monument which his
record has erected to his heroism and I'M
wavering fidelity to the service and to the
well being of those ntrusted to his
charge"

An Enormous Sun Spot.

Mr.. Brashear writing to The Pittsb2u.g
Chronicle, thus describes the great spot
which has lately made its appearance on
the sun had noticed he says, the spot
coming on the suns edge not long since,
and concluded that it would attain enor-
nous proportions. In the telescope it
was an object of singular beauty. The
other morning [ examined it closely, and
think in all my life [ never saw so
many beautiful feathery bridges and
arms stretching out from the penumbral
borders of the spot across and into the
great nuclei. Every one of them was
more or less curved the same way, show
ing clearly the direction of the cyclonic
storm. The penumbral was very much
broken up, and the many beautiful forms
taken by its extended arms and bridges
make up one of the most interesting sun
spots on record. Its size is simply enor-
nous. I projected the suns image so as
to give disc So millimetres diameter
The spot then measured four millimetres.
This would give it nearly one-sixteenth
of the suns diameter, which we will call
$4,000 miles. Then one-sixteenth of
this would give So, 900 miles as the di-
ameter of the spot. As it was an irreg-
ular square, we could safely estimate the
spot to contain [ should say 1000. 600
square miles. There are a number Of
smaller spots on the sun, but none so
interesting as this one.

The COaI-Dirt Mountains.

Of all the many and varied aspects of
the coal industry and its home, none
compares in picturesque quality with the
mountains of coal dirt left by the army
of miners as their long decades of sub
terranean toll proceed. For every ton Of
coal that has been extracted probably at
least ton and a half of slate or black
ened dirt or rocky debris of some sort
has been mined and discarded. A short
distance away the heaps look exactly like
the coal itself, and it is hard to disabuse
ones self of the illusion that here has
been wanton waste and loss The heaps
rise, sometimes far as the eve can scan,
In every conceivable shape and dimension
short of lofty mountains. There are long
ranges, steep cliffs, valleys of black soil
which the climbing dirt cars are fast fill
ing IN. Sometimes the river, which tray
erses a coal valley swollen by rains.
sweeps away thousands of tons of this
coal dirt, depositing it on low lands.
where it spreads like a sea of pitch. In
the Panther Valley, not far from Mauch
Chunk, is a spot where one of these
pitchy floods covering a lowland forest
has risen half way up the tree trunks.
The trees, their life crushed out by the
everything mass, project in stark and
wierd nakedness, over their inky bed,
wild spectacle of desolation. Science is
still doing her best to utilize these dirt
heaps, of which a large proportion is
coal dust. The recent experiment of
pressing the better grades into bricks to
be burned like the ordinary anthracite is
said to be substantially failure owing
to the great expense. With certain kinds
of engines driving a strong blast the dirt
can be burned, but practically the con-
sumption of it seems relegated to re-
mote period when either coal becomes
more costly or industrial processes more
perfect than now. Many of these great
coal heaps have taken fire by what is
supposed to be spontaneous combustion.
In that case, it is hard work to extin- |
gIlish them, and the fire very often ex-
tends so as to threaten the adjacent build |
ings and the upper woodwork of the
shafts. To avert this danger, as well as
to get additional room, the nucleus of a |
large heap is usually begun at some dis
tance from the shaft. As the heap |
grows, an inclined railroad is run ND its |
face, on which the cars of debris are |
pulled by steam, then run along level !
and dumped, the level part of the railway
being extended as the heap grows. The
huge heap, when on fire within, burns
without smoke, and, except under GER
-ain atmospheric conditions, it is hard to
,ealize that the outward dull and opaque
mass is a glowing Inferno within.

THEY WERE SORRY.

Peck of the Milwaukee Sun relates his
early experience in newspaper publish
ing, as follows
We were publishing a sort of go-as-
you-please paper at La Crosse, with fair
success, but with no established business
basis. If we got in money enough to
pay the express charges on a bundle OF
paper it was all right, and if we didn't
we could stand off the express messen-
ger.
He knew We would pay it. or if we
didn't he could pay it out of his own
pocket. If a man subscribed for the
paper and payed for it, it was all right,
and if he didn't pay for it he got the
paper all the same, and everybody was
satisfied. We had about so much room
for advertising, and the business men
had to fill the space with advertise
ments, whether they paid them or not.
We would advertise for them, and
trade along, and if we didn t trade enough
there would be something coming, and if
we traded too much, why, we could owe
the balance and not trade so much the
next year, and by jumping accounts
every few years things were perfectly
smooth, and nobody was displeased.
Very little money passed between us
and our customers, except for white pa
per and express charges. There were
just groceries, and meat markets. and
stores and wood yards enough. if tbev
all did their share, to make us a good
living, and if one of the hands wanted
two dollars all we had to do was TO 90
around collecting all the afternoon. and
If we didn't collect the money. 90 down
to the depot and borrow it Of Tim Nc
Carly.
We never spent four years when money
troubled us so little as it did there. We
owed most everybody, and they knew it,
and they seemed to enjoy it. ANYWAY
none of them ever got mad or
II they did we could take
pencil and piece of wrapping
paper and show them, in fifteen minutes
that they were all wrong, and if we had
our just deserts they would owe us three
dollars, and after that they would pay if.

certain young New York couple who
have recently returned from abroad.
The young man, it seems, is one of those
who have but lately appeared above the
social horizon, and glitters as star of
magnitude, with a beautiful golden
light. In Paris he invited the Prince of
Wales to dine with him and his wife,
and some ladies having English titles.
The Prince accepted and dined with
him, which. of course, was something
delightful but the sad story goes that
the Prince asked the ladies to go to the
theatre afterward. which they all did
with the exc ption of the host and
hostess, the pleasure of whose society
was not requested.

So my pard an me buried EN- thar.

She was dead, like the rest, an Nellie
Lay close by her side-fast asleep.

An at last we concluded to keep her,
An bring her up lovin' an kind.
We buried her poor dad and nanny,
Likewise all their unlucly mates,
An we named her Nell arter a sweetheart
My pard had once back in the States.
But the trouble we had with that young I'm
Was somethin' quite funny to see
Bill gave her up for a mystery,
Likewise she was too much for me-
Her burned duds we couldn't get on right,
And we cussed ev'ry butt an string
But arter spell we did better
When we once got the hang of the thing.
An she growed up quite pertlike an bloomin
We take her to work ev'ry day,
While Bill an mes busy mimi

Cause we're workin an savin' for Nellie,
