THE SEARCH CON rINuED.

BRAIDwooD, March 27.-A special to
the DAILY Nesos says; There is no change
in the situation of the Diamond shaft since
last night. Two forces of men are al
work in the mine, one force clearing the
track in the main roadway. and the other
trying to make an entrance over OF
through the distinctions, which block the
way at the fartherest point. explored.
The officials of the mine state that il is
barely possible that more bodies will be
found tonight. The objective point of
research is q large fall of rock about lao
yards from the main shaft. AT this place
there were found most of the bodies talk en-
out yesterday. II is thought that q mum
Der of victims may be under the mass of
debris.
Explorations have extended 425 yards
in one direction from the main shaft and
$50 yards in another. The debris is being
hoisted to The surface and dumped. and a
few men and women stand listlessly about
viewing the desolate scene. The funeral
train Stands near the spot waiting for lis
next load of CHASTITY victims. One body,
identified yesterday as August Poland
turns out to be that of j ohm French. The
coroner has returned to await for further
developments.

Wasting Time.

One day a grand Post-office Off.
jeial at Washington happened to be
passing through a government office
with which he was not connected. There
he saw a man standing before the fire
reading newspaper. Hours afterward,
returning the same way, he was shocked
to find the same man, legs extended,
before the same fire, still buried in the
columns of a newspaper. Halo, sir!'
cried the indignant Head of Depart
ment, what are you doing?"
Cant you see what am doingP''
was the answer.
3 'Sir, came through this Office four
hours ago. and found you reading the
paper; / returned, and you are still
wasting your time in the same manner. "
very true; you have stated the case
to nicely"
Hereupon the Head of Department
naturally fires up. What is your name.
STRIP he said.
'.Weli, don't know that my name
is any affair of yours-what is your
namep'
'.Sir, | would have you know that
am so-and-so CT the postofficer'
Indeed! well, lam very glad to heal
it. am, sir, simply one of the public,
who has been kept waiting here fol
four hours for an answer to a simple
question, and shah be too much obliged
if you viii use Your influence to get me
attended to.

THE STAGE BALD HEAD A DELUsIoN.

Most everyone who was not born blind
knows that the stage bald head is delu
sion and snare The only all wool,
yard wide bald head we remember on the
American stage at the present moment is
that of Dunstan Kirke, as worn by the
veteran Cookbook Eff1e Ellsler wears her
own hair, and so does Couldock, but
Couldock wears his the most. 1t is the
most worn, anyhow.
What we started out to say is that the
stage bald head and the average stage
whiskers make us tired of life. The stage
bald head is generally made of the inter
nal economy of a cow, dried so that il
shines, and cut to fit the head as tightly
rs q potato sack would naturally fit
billiard cue. 1t is generally about four
shades whittier than the red face of the
wearer, or vice versa We do not know
ness, the red faced man who wears
deathly white bald head, or
the pale young man who wears
"a florid roof on his intellect.
Sometimes instarring through, the country,
and playing ten or fifteen hundred en-
gagements IL bald head gets soiled. We
notice that when show gets to Laramie
the chances are that the bald head of the
leading man is so soiled that he really
needs a sheep dye shampoo Another
feature of this accessory of the stage is its
singular failure to fit. 1t is either short
at both ends, or il hangs over the skull in
great festoons and wens and warts in
such a way as to make the audience be
lieve he has dropsy of the brain.
You can never get stage bald head
near enough like nature to fool the aver
age house fly. A fly knows in two NOM
cnts whether it is the genuine or only a
base imitation, and the theater fills him
with nausea and disgust. Nature, at all
times hard to initiate, preserves her bald
head as she does her sunny skies and
deep blue seas. far beyond the reach of the
weak, fallible. human initial Laramie

IF the warehouse. nearest the distillery

the whisky runs direct from the still.
From these tanks it is drawn off into

The barrels so filed are rolled into the

sided Sexton was the fayorite in betting
20 to Is, but it was close at times and was
anYbody's game till the end. Sexton in
the seventh inning took strong lead with
run of Ill, and remained in front
throughout, though at one time Morris
came to within four points of him. Nor
ris ran 80 in the twentieth inning, mainly
the result of skillful use of the cushion

A good audience witnessed the game
to night between Schaefer and Wallace.
Up to the 9th inning the game was rather
tame and uninteresting as Schaefer seem
ed not at all ambitious to hurry matters.
But in this inning after knocking the
worries about carelessly for sixty points,
he changed his tactics and went in for a
large run. He held the balls at the right
hand side rail for twenty shots. seldom
making any change. At one hundred he
changed to the end rail and at 161 had
them under perfect control. Then changed
them to the side rail again and with here
and there force up and down the table,
he clicked away with marvellous rapidity-
At 200 the audience burst into long con

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN 1888.

From the new edition of Messrs. Geo
P RoweH & Cos American Newspaper
Directory, which is now in press. 1t ap
spears that the newspapers and periodicals
of all kinds issued in the United States
and Territories now reach the imposing
total of 1, 1876. This is an increase of
585 in twelve months Taking the states
one by one, the newspaper growth in
some is very considerable The present
total in New York state, for instance, is
1, 399-a gain of so in the past year. The
increase lin Pennsylvania is 4S, the exist
ing number being 943. Nebraskas total
grew from 175 to 201 and Illinois from
$50 to 904. A year ago Massachusetts
had 420 papers; now the number is 439.
In Texas the new papers 0utnumbered
the suspensions by s. and Ohio now has
73S papers instead of 693 The most re
markable change has occurred in the ter
ritories, in which the daily papers have
grown from As to IS, and the weeklies
from 169 to 243-Dakota beirg the chief
area of activity. The number of month
lies throughout the country grew from
90 to / ,034, while the daiIies leaped from
900 to Lose. The figures given ABOVE
are exclusive of Canada, which possesses
a total of COG. 1t is interesting to note
that the newly settled regions of the
Canadian northwest are productive of
newspapers as well as of wheat, for the
number of journals issued in Manitoba
was nearly doubled during the year.
