The cause Of the recent shutting down
OF the Muldoon mine and smelter is said
by the Chronicle TO be as follows:
The company had set apart certain
amount Of money for carrying on their
business In this region and about
mouth ago this was exhausted and 1t be-
came necessary to replete the treasury
before work could continue. A western
company would have forthwith iefilled
it's treasury by an assessment and al
lowed no cessation in the work. Not so
in this case, however, fora full settle
ment must bo made OF tho companys
affairs before additional fnnslscnn be Sc
cured. This is all that caused the sus-
| pension OF operations ut Muldoon, and
next spring Will see everything In full
blast again.
The mine and works, now in an excel
/ lent condition, were undoubtedly on q
paying basis when closed down, but, the
above true, tile eompnny's finances may
have been exhausted III the preparation

Late arrivals from tile gold fields in

things appear somewhat different from
the first reports. John Shop and Thorn
as Me1lanus came back from that coun-
try on Tuesday, after nm absence Of six
teen days. They were in the camp four
daysand think the prospects will not
justify any great excitement; that there
will be paying diggings, but that many
old miners lave seen discoveries that
looked fully ~ well and turned out
poorly. They report some $50 or 300
people in the camp. Most OF the claims
OF the claims OF twenty acres each have
been taken by Palousc farmers and very
few miners have secured ground The

streams In the vicinity Of Prichard creek

DO very slow this winter, and paying re-
turns may not be expected before next
July. As yet but four claims have paid
anything and none OF thcm are at pres
ent making moro than wages. One
party sold a part Of a claim, I'VE acres,
for $1,000. "The Widows claim,
named for relative Of Prichard's In

a Word to the Damsels.

Damsels who have the intention OF
making themselves conspicuous through
grief should never fail to study the be-
comingness of their toilette. A nice
looking girl in a black jersey and black
skirt, a neat little linen collar, trim
boots and ample tan-colored gloves,
falling on the wrists in folds, may weep
little behind her fluttering handksr-
chief and be the more attractive, espec-
tally when her hair and hat are becom-
ingly arranged. Fine ladyism, in the
incipiency of voyages, decided that good
taste demanded entire seclusion from
the damaging contact of mixed society
during the days to be passed at soa.
But whatever pretensions may be made
to the contrary. exclusiveness is apt tc
be something of bore to Americans Of
both sexes. Men never attempt it. and
women on whom the motto of noblesse
oblige has been carefully impressed,
oftentimes look with longing eyes from
behind their narrow prison bars at the
kaleidoscope view of the world beyond,
and inwardly decide that the play is not
worth the especially as there il
no one present to admire and applaud.

father sat a little way off reading a
newspaper and smoking cigar. Now
said Hackett, see me knock the ashes

whizzed between the paper and the ci-
gar. The old man grumbled, but sat
rigid. Another shot knocked the ashes
clean off. That made the old gentleman
disturbed, and he called out: "Oh, John.
stop your fooling, can't you?", :" :,

Tha Old Women of San Gabriel.

The Ell Paso Times says that the peo-
pie of San Gabriel go far toward i'm
mortality, and two venerable ladies,
aged 102 and III years, as is proved by
the church records, are celebrities to
whom the stranger pays his respects
and his silver pieces. Diving inside an
adobe hut, buxom and swarthy lady
smiled at us from her washtub, and ad-
vanced with the sweet 'buenos dias" OF
those people. Crossing under her
clothes-line we found the ancient Laura
sitting on the ground with faded bed
quilt wrapped about her shoulders.
With her 102 years Sonora Laura had
not learned the ways of neatness, and
sat abjectly in the dirt, with more dirt
and dust on her struggling black locks.
Sonora Benjamina, who owns to III
years, lay inside her miserable hut with
tattered bedquilt about her and her
head sunken in another dirty quilt.
Chickens scratched and pecked the
ground beside her, hoped on her pros
trate form, and made the hut ring with
their clucking and Growing. At the
suggestion of strangers and silver the
poor old wreck of humanity turned her
withered face toward us, and the skim
ny hands were outstretched for coin.
A more revolving and saddening spec
tacle cannot be imagined than those
two forlorn and trembling old creatures,
shriveled, wrinkled, and withered as
mummies with bleared eyes, hooked
claws, and thin, trembling voices.

Greek Qnstnmes.

The national costume of Greece, if
you can only see it clean, is one of the
most picturesque and graceful dresses
ever imagined. lis chief feature is the
snowy fustanella, really very full pet
ticoat, said to contain thirty-siA yards
of white linen. 1t does not reach quite
to the knee; under it are worn tight lin
en- drawers. bound with snowy garters
into CATERS of cloth or frieze (the color
is left to the fancy of the wearer and
they are often richly embroidered) and
shoes which turn up in q point; and
their broad leather belt has pouch on
the left side and contains perfect bat
terry of embossed and silver hilted arms.
Above are worn a white linen shirt,
with full sleeves, and n cloth or velvet
jacket, often gloriously embroidered
with gold thread, with sleeves, if sleeves
they can be called, which are mere
broad strips of embroidery, which can
be fastened around the arm at the wrist
or loft to swing loose behind; q loose
fez, with long, blue tassel, completes
the costume of the Greek dandy. In
another group stands lady dressed af-
ter our western ways, but the bonnet is
replaced by a feZ, with long, thick
gold tassel coquettlshly pinned on the
right side of the head; and near her a
shabby Greek priest or papas, his long
tangled hair and beard falling over
rusty black robes. They are an i'll
looking lot, allow, but their groups
and gestures are rs picturesque as you
would see anywhere. l am afraid we
must conclude that what was known rs
the Greek type of beauty is extinct, or
it is to be found only in the wild noun

Thrown Up by the Waves.

The ladies and gentlemen who were
watching the breakers from the Ocean
House pavilion observed a gentleman of
broad white waistcoat and benevolent
mien strolling along the sand close to
the waters edge. He was seen to dart
forward as the waves receded and to
grasp at a keg. He missed it and ran
back just in time to escape the next
breaker. Then the keg was tossed up
again, and again the stout gentleman
pursued it. This time he all but got hold
of it, and in the excitement of the mo-
ment failed to notice a great white
capped breaker which rolled in upon
him, knocked him over. and carried
him out a rod before he regained his
feet. "Thank God l am on terra Gotta
once MORE" he gasped and was led
away.

A Broad Education,

The object of an EXTENDED education
is to regulate and assist the growth OF
all the faculties with reference to the
perfection of the individual. but this
must also be in subordination to tho re-
lations of the individual to the societ Y
in which his life's work is found. The
perfection of the individual is not his
ideal perfection, but only his perfection
with reference what he is to do. The
practical question in the higher educa-
tion is therefore the question of the
agencies by which this result is to be
reached. Herald.
