How 70 Make a Man Mad.

There never have been more than
three men who have cared o snap what
the papers said about them. We recall
to mind a New Hampshire man who
said he hadn't the least interest in any
thing of the sort And when he heard
that certain weekly had spoken Of him
as prominent citizen, he drove seven
teen miles in pouring rain and over
a muddy road to get a copy OF that
paper, because he wanted T., see the
market reports in il. We have had that
little transaction in mind for some time,
and it suggested to us a racket which
we have worked with great success. We
select as victim some man, ambitions
of fame but who never has had the priv
ilege of gazing upon his name in print
more than two or three times in his life.
We go to him and say: "Did you SEQ
that item about you in the paper the
other day. Great skid, wasn't it p I'M
mediately his face lights up. He is all
interest. There is an eager look in his
eye. "No," he says, II didn't see it
Didn't know of it'll When was itP What
paper was it in What did it sayP''
And we reply: "Oh hold onl One
question ab blIue. wen, WhoS
paper was it IMP" he asks. He is
breathlessly eager for an answer. The
reply, deliberately: What paper2
Well, we don't exactly remember.
Think it was one of the city papers, but
wouldn't be certain. 1t may have been
a suburban paper. Possibly it was q
Western exchange" He looks gloomy,
but hope springs eternal in the
human breast. You think it was
city paper" he asks. Yes"
Chow long ago did it appear?" "Don't
know exactly. Saw it only two or three
days ago, but it might have been an old
paper" Well, what did it sayY he
asks, in desperation. "Oh, it was very
pleasant little item "Yes, but what
did it say ?" ooh, we don't remember
what it said. Just remember seeing it.
"Why didn't you save it for me =
"Why, thought of course you'd see
it," "Well, I'll go and look over the
files of the city papers and see If / can
find it." "Dear boy" we say, "you'n
find it much easier to find needle in
a bundle of hay. Think of the inter
minable task of examining the files
of seven or eight daily papers for
month back" The utter hopeless
ness of his ever seeing that
paragraph dawns upon him. His face
assumes a look of abject misery, de-
spair and baffled curiosity. When we
meet him three days later he is just get
ting over the feeling of gloom and set
tling down to solid hatred of us for
not saving the item for him. Boston

yiuegar,s VOtaries,

"Do you know or have you ever
heard why it is that negro women
drink vinegar ?" asked gentleman OF
Times reporter one day last week.
The scribe professed the profoundest
ignorance in regard to the matter
but he Immediately set TO work to find
an answer to the question. In the first
place he inquired OF several negro
women if they ever drank vinegar:
eyes," said one, 81 drink it all the
time, especially when l am ironing,
and the women in our yard drink 1t,
too"
"Does it do you any good?"
Eyes; it is cheaper than whisky, ard
it keeps up a person wonderfully. L
don't know why began it-because
the others did, reckon. 1t hurt me
at first, made me feel sick at the
stomach, but when got over this feel
ing I felt a good deal better. It's
especially good after smoking a pipe,
and leaves kind of cooling feeling be-
hind"
How much of it do you take at a
dose?"
"About two tablespoonfuls. The first
dose took was about teaspoontul,
but l know some ladies who take as
much as a quarter of teacupfU, II 1
took that much it would make sick.
{" How did the habit first b ~
"Some OF the ladies used Jake 1t,
when feeling badly, and it didNthem so
much good that others followed the
example. The men folks can't drink
vinegar, and don't like the women folks
10 take it, but they do it though"
The reporter subsequently saw an
uptown lady who is at the head OF q
large boarding house. In answer TO
questions propounded to her, she sald:
"Oh, yes, have had number OF col
ored women in my employ who were
great vinegar drinkers. The way
found it all out was in this way; ! had
a washer and ironer who ate very little.

The Tencup

This company has paid off all the
liens against its property, and, we
understand, are making every effort
to pay off it's entire Indebtedness.
The NEWS has on several occasions
animadverted on the course Of the
company in SO long deferring the
payment OF their just debts to
their creditor; but it may be, af-
ter all, that they are doing the best
they can Being one of those patient
individuals onrself, who have waited
long for our just dues, we may have
been o severe i'll our criticisms
than we ought. But whatever we
have written WAS not in malice but
from "A sense OF Justice to those of the
community who had waited long and
patiently for their just dues. We
are SURF that great ~forbearance has
been exercised towards the company
by ii creditors here, and willingness
manifested to settle with them on the
most liberal terms. We hope the en-
tire business will be straighted up
soon-as present indications lead us
to believe-and that the company

A NEW BONANZA IN the STAR.
A Large Body OF High Grade Ore
struck on the 27O-Level.

struck ON the 27O-Level.
We learn that an important strike
has boon made on the 270-level of
the Star this week. The ore there
discovered is said TO be the richest
ever found in the mine. The extent
OF the new find is not vet fully de-
termined, but it is believed 10 be a
good-sized body, as a large amount
Of virgin ground, thought to be rich
in mineral, lies in the direction where
the discovery was made. We are
also informed that the water in the
shaft, which has given so much
trouble OF late, is now fully under
control. The pump recently got from
the Egan company is now at work
and handles the water very effect
lively. A wonderful mine Is the Star.
In the past three years it has pro-
duced e a million dollars, all of
which came from the grass roots. If
its owners possessed either energy or
enterprise and opened it out as they
should have done, it would to-day
stand second To no mine in the State.
As il is the Star Is doing exceedingly
well, and we predict, when the new
level Is opened up, it will do far bet
ter, and lay in the shade some of the
pretended hidden bonanzas upon
which inflated stock speculations are
now being made. With proper ma
chinery, and a live and enterprising
directory, the Star mine would have
been paying dividends two years ago.
In this connection, we do not wish to
be understood as rejecting on the
resident Superintendent of the COM
pany. We know his hands have been
tied. lie has done all that mortal
nan could do with the facilities at
his disposal. The fault lies with the
chief magnates in San Francisco.
L. S.-since the above was put in
type we have been shown a sample OF
the ore from the new find. II assays
$500, and I'll informant says the
ledge, which is three feet wide, has
been penetrated sixty feet, all the
way in the same kind Of ore, and at
present IL is unknown how much
further L extends. This is glorious
news for the Star people, as well as
the residents OF this town.

The Eureka Miners' Union and the
Tributers.

There was quite n little war speck
in the Eureka horizon last week, over
the reduction made by Manager Pro-
bert OF the Richmond. Matters were
beginning to look critical, when the
Miners Union took the bull by the
horns and issued the following, which
sets the entire matter at rest: To the
people of Eureka district; a special
meeting of the Miners Union OF Ruby
Hill was held last night. 1t was
called to take action in regard to the
difficulty growing out of the stopping
Of tribute work in the Richmond
mine and the subsequent actions and
assertions of some individual mem
bers of this Union. The Union, as a
body, does not countenanee any part
of these proceedings, and repudiates
the action OF the self constituted COM
mittee. Whatever trouble may be
between the Richmond mine and the
tributers must be left for the inter-
ested parties to settle, as it does not
come within the jurisdiction claimed
by the Union. On behalf OF the Union.
