again. In New York recently he said .
"The foilo.sing things tits absurd

5000 years since the world was Great
ed. This | found to be ia.se, for ev-
idence was ample to prove that for
mo more than ten Thousand years hum an
beings have existed upon the Garth.
Second, that man was created first of
earth, and that woman came from the
RIB OF man. This l found to be no
better nor worse than a dozen myths
thousand years old. Third, that in
earlier past ages of the world men
lived from five hundred to thousand
years. This | found SO opposed to
the laws of structure and decay as to
be incredible. Fourth, that about
four thousand years ago the whole
world was inundated and everything
was destroyed except one family and
few animals. This was absolutely
beyond belief. Fifth, that about thrt g
thousand three hundred years ago, at
the bidding of a mortal man, and not
a very good man at that, the sun stood
still. Undeniable evidence exists that
the statement is false. Astronomical
works of the Chinese and Egyptians
cover the age of Joshua, but in these
records, kept in fear of death as the
penalty of inaccuracy, there is 10
mention of such solar disturbance. |

Mammoth Cave.

The original owner of the cave was
DR.. John Croghan, q Scotchman, who
died in 1889. The ownership then de-
scended to nine heirs of the doctor,
three OF whom died, and the property
is now controlled by trustees, one of
whom lives in California, another in
Philadelphia and another somewhere
else. The ownership of the cave en-
braces about 5000 acres OH the surface.
The purchase of this land be-
came necessary in order to prevent
other spectators from sinking n shaft
from above down into the cavern, and
thereby form other entrances that
would divide the profits obtained from
visitors to the great natural wonder.
a former agent attempted toget map
of the interior passages of the cavern
for this purpose, but was headed off
and his design prevented from being
consummated. The different avenues
of the cavern, If extended in one lind
would have length of $50 miles. The
largest room is known rs mann
moth DOME" and is 4S7 feet long, 263
feet wide and the height is 1853 feet.
About 600 visitors entered the cave last
month, most of them coming from the
Eastern states, England and Scotland.
The short route has an extent, going
and returning, of nine miles, and the
long route is twenty miles. The fee to
guides is 50 the short route and Us the
long route, including lights. The
temperature of the cavern is uni
form, being fifty-four degrees
Fahrenheit the year round.
The old saltpetre works, which We're
abandoned since the war of 1872, are
still seen, the watts and pumps beng
still i'm good state of preservation.
About month ago, Echo river, in the
interior of the cavern, was not passa-
bile on account of the high water, but
the crossing is all right now. This
subterranean river is 60 feet wide, 30
feet deep, and boats navigate II as
lance of about three-fourths OF mile.
No accident has occurred in the cave
for several years.

Ingersolps Reflections on Death.

New York World.l
The following lines are an extract
taken from letter recently written by
Col. Ingersoll from Long Beach to a
personal friend who had suffered be-
reaveInent in the death of his mother:
after all there is something ten
derly appropriate in the serene
death of the old. Nothing Is
more touching than the death
Of the young, the strong. But when
the duties of life have all been nobly
done-when the sun touches the hori-
zon-when the purple twilight falls
upon the present, the past and future
" hen memory with dim eyes can
scarcely spell the records of the van
ished days-then, surrounded by kin
bred and by friends, death comes like
strain Of music. The day has been
long, the road weary, and we gladly
stop at the inn.
Life is shadowy, strange and
winding road, on which we travel for
little way-a few short steps, Just
from the cradle with its lullaby OF
love to the low and quiet wayside inn,
where all at last must sleep and where
the only salutation is Good night
Nearly forty-eight years ago, under
the snow in the little town of Cazen-
ovia, my poor mother was buried. l
was but two years old. / remember
her as she looked in death. That
sweet, cold face has kept my heart
warm through all the years.

Girl Suuatfers.
From a OAK ota Letter.

Now, as regards the gentler sex who
came here to hold down. their claims.
All over the territory you will find
these little shanties. In many of them
stylish-aud pretty young ladies take
up a nights lodging once every month
or oftener. | have seen numbers Of
misses from the Eastern states who
are out here holding down" a quar-
ter section. Others who live nearer,
as Iowa or Minnesota, or Dakota,
make monthly pilgrlmages to their
ranch, or, more likely, so once in two
months and remain two nights, en-
dure their sacrifice to their comfort
and the shock of their nerves u few
times, and become owners OF valuable
real estate. A Dakota girl that isn't
holding down claim or two is q curl
osity. The only drawback to the East
ern girls is the fact that they must
publicly declare that they are over
twenty-one before they can file their
application. a hundred and sixty acres
of land, you know, is not much OF
an indictment to an Eastern girl
for such an admission. But out here
it is altogether different, for it only
lasts six months, and at the end of that
time the young ladies go right back to
Is and 20 again. Indeed, it is looked
upon as really romantic, despite the
fact that wolves howl arcnni at night
and gophers play hide-and-seek
through the shanties like rats.

Red Fish lake, above Sawtooth City
on the summit ofthe Sawtooth range
of mountains, in the Wood river re-
gion, Idaho, has dropped through the
bottom. The lake had an area of sew
eral miles and was many fathoms
in depth. 1t was on the summit of
one of these peaks of the range, some
II 900 feet elevation above the sea, and
surrounded by heavy timber, which
rendered it a delightful place of resort
in the summer for camping, fishing
and bolting parties. The lake has
been there since the white man has
known the country, says the HALEY
Times, but lately the day of occur
rance is not known-the bottom fell

separation or settling of the earth 5
surface, or from volcanic action is not
known. AT present the bed of the
lake is dry, and presents the appear
ance of u deep gorge or valley on the

has always contained millions of red
fish, and been favorite resort for
bear, deer and other game. Where the
fish went to is as much mystery as
where the water went.

MOrmOns in Indiana.
TSalt Lake CITY Tribune. |

A Mormon tramp writing from In
diana to Granny says: I'm some parts
of the mission persecution is quite
fierce. In the northwest of Indiana,
Elders w. NJ. Pratt and Il. Nebeker
have been assaulted and pelted with
rotten eggs and other missiles, the
stains made by the refuse being still
on their clothing. In the south
ern part of the state, Elders
r. w. Farnsworth and j. w. Coons
have been treated in the same villain
Gus manner" The tramp spells eggs
with a big +, so the inference is that
they must have been large-perhaps
goose eggs and well seasoned with
age These demonstrations of respect
showered upon the heads of the tramps
show that eggs are abundant and the

Notable Inmates OF the Lansing Penitsn-
tiary OF Kansas.
lLeavenworth letter.

tiary OF Kansas.
ILeavenworth Letter.
The state prison at Lansing contains
many notable prisoners. Firt may be
mentioned the name Of Colgate. His
is an eventful history. He is the son
OF the celebrated soap-maker of that
name and graduate of Harvard. For
some indiscretion his father drove him
from home, allowing $50 per
month as long as he lived. He finally
brought up ut Winfield, Kan, and
having pleasing address he soon in
eratiated himselfinto the best society,
married most estimable lady and
was made booi-keeper tor large mill
ing establishment there. 1t is the old
story of women, wine and horses. and
it was not long before he was short in
his accounts. TO hide this, he tried a
very effective method by setting fire to
the mill and destroying the outfit. He
got drunk shortly after, and gave the
whole thing away, was arrested, found
guilty and got ten years.
VIM. Hurst, of Doniphan county is
the character of the institution. Seve-
raj years ago William took stroll in
the garden with his wife, and while
holding sweet converse with her,
placed his arm iioovinolv aronnd Ter
neck, and drew her head onto his
shoulder, and while she was resting
confidipgly there, he stealthily drew a
huge carving knife from the folds of his
coat and severed her head from her
body. Billie has ninety-nine years
sentenced to serve.
John Kenney, better known as
"King of the Kustlers" of New Mex
leo, is slashing around with bucket
of red pain in the wagon shop. John
will participate in the festivities Of
this institution for five years. 1t took
$50, 900 and seventy-five lives before he
and his gang were captured.
Mary Isabella Martin is u command
ing looking person from Emporia,
Kas. She and her son, +. ID. Mosely,
started out in the graveyard insur-
ance business; that is. they got conf
ding old lady by the name of Keifer
to allow them to insure her life for
s., 900. The old lady did not die as
soon as expected, and they fixed her
up tonic of nine parts strychnine
and one part water. 1t had the de-
sired effect, but an analysis showed
the cause, and the pair also drew Il
prize of ninety-nine years each.
Sis Vinegar, whose looks do not be-
lie her name, got very playful one day
last summer and assisted by her two
brothers, inveigled granger down to
the bar ks of the Kaw river, near Law
renee, beheaded him and threw the re-
mains in the river. Her brothers
would undoubtedly be inmates also
but the citizens of Lawrence did not
wish to leave them, and, fixing gar
land of hemp about their necks, they
| decorated the north end of the bridge
with the two boys.
The books show there are 6T2 prison
ers. Thirty males and five female:
for life, while the balance range IN
