NEW YORK, 1883.

More people have read The Sun during the
Y. ar just now passing thar ever before since it
wa first prInted No other newspaper putt 81.
ei on tn rs side OF the yarth las DeeL bought ami
reaa il any year by so many met and women,
We are credibly informed that people buy
read and ike The sun lOr the following reasons
among others:
Because its news columns prcsentin attractive
form, and with the greatest 2. ssble accuracy
whatever has interest f + humankind: the
events, the dceds and misdeeds, the wisdom the
philosophy, the notable folly, the solid sense
tn, improving nonsen$e-all the news of the
busiest werld at present revolving in space.
Because people have learned that in its re-
marks concerning persons and affairs The Sun
makes a practice Of telling them tie exact
truth 20 the best of IS ability three hundred and
sixty-tive days in the year, before election as
ell as after about the whales as well as the big
h>h in the face OF dissent as plainly and fearless
ly as when supported by general approval he
sun has absolutely no purposes to serve, save
the in ormation offs readers and the iurther-
cnpe of the common good.
Because tits everybody newspaper No man
is So humble that lhe sun is indifferent to his
welfare and his rights No man IS so rich that
1t can allew injustice TO be done him No man,
no association Ofmen, is powerful enough to DO
exempt from the strict application of its princi-
Sles of right and wrong.
Because in politics 1t has fought for dozen
years WithOutintermisSiOn and sometimes alone
among newspapers, the fight that has resulted
in the overwhelming popular verdict rgainst
RobesoniSm and for honest government O
matter what party is in power, The Sun stands
and will continue to stand like a rock for the in
terestS OF the people against the ambition of
bosses. the enroachments of monopolists, and the
dishonest schemes of public robbers.
All this is what we are told almost daily by
our friends. one man holds that The Sun is the
best religious newspaper ever publishe d, be
cause its Christianity is undiluted with can't
Another holds that it is the best Republican
newspaper printed, because it has already whip
ped half Of the rascalS out of that party, and is
proceeding against the other half with undi-
mished vigor. A third believe tito be the best
magazine Of general literature in existence be
cause its readers miss nothing worthy of notice
that's current in the world of thought. So every
friend of The Sun discovers one CT its many sides
that appears with particular force to his indVId-
ual liking, #~s A
If you already know The sun, you will observe
that in 1883 is little better than ever before
fyou do not already know The sun You will
find it to be a mirror of all human activity, a
stOrehouse OF the choicest products of common
sense ard Imagination, a mainstav for the cause
of honest government, a sentinel for genuine
JefferSGnian Democracy, ScOurage for wicked
ness every species, and an uncommonlv good
investm ent for the coming year +.

Pottsville. in Pennsylvania, is now
said to possess the deepest coal mine in
America. Through its shaft, |, 576 feet
in depth, 200 cars, holding four tons
each, are lifted every day. The time oc
cupied Tor lifting a full car through the
whole length of the shaft is only 4 little
more than one minute. A gentleman
who has recently descended this shaft
speaks of it as follows: q person OF
weak nerves should not brave the ordeal
by descending the Pottsyille shaft. The
machinery works as smoothly as a hotel
elevator, but the speed is so terrible that
one seems falling through the air. The
knees after few seconds become weak
and treuulous, the ears ring as the drums
of these organs are forced inward by the
air pressure, and the eyes shut involuu
tarily as the beams Of the shaft seem to
dash upward only q foot or two away.
As one leaves the light Of the upper day,
the transition to darkness IS fantastic.
The light does not pass into gloom in the
same fashion IS our d9y merces into
night, bat there is q kind Of phesphores-
cent glow, gradually becoming DINNER
and DINNER. half way down YOU pass,
with roar and sudden crash, the ascend
ing car, and al last, after what seems
several minutes, but is only fraction Of
that time, the platform begins toslow up,
halts at a gate, and through 1t you step
into a crowd Of creatures with the shapes
of men, but the blackened faces, the
gIaring eyes, and wild physiognomies Of
fends.'

A JUVENILE Thief.
How Chicago Bell Boy Was Making a
Stake.

CHICAGO, September 5.-For some time
past complaints have been made by the
guests of Leland Hotel, on the corner Of
Michigan avenue and Jackson street, to the
effect that their rooms had been entered
during their absence from them and various
articles stolen. The missing property was
generally such things as person might
leave carelessly about the room and what
iewelry that was exp ,sed. Every effort to
catch the thief was fruitess for time, not
even clew being obtained. The case was
intrusted TO Detectives Thorpe and Tier
ney, and, after reviewing the thefts,
they suspected the bell boys and others
who had pass keys, the lack of marks
on the doors indicating that en-
trance to the rooms was obtained in this
manner. The losses at times were consid-
cradle, including costly opera glasses,
hand glasses and jewelry.S The hotel had
to make these losses good. Suspicion
finally fastened on bell-boy named Robert
Vaughan, who was arrested by Detectives
Thorpe and Terney. Nothing was found
on him, but a search of his room revealed
a large amount of the missing property.
Among the articles recovered was an ex-
pensive hand glass and toilet set belonging
to Mr.. Evans. An. elegant opera glass,
the property of Jules Bullenburg, was
found in Clark street pawn shop, where
Vaughan had left it to have the name
erased. 1t is estimated that the value of
the property stolen will aggregate $1,000.
Duplicate keys OF nearly all the rooms Of
the hotel were found in Vaughan's room.
