Considerable concern is being mani
tested by the miners of the State as to
who will be appointed to the position of
Inspector of Mines for the coming

a proper and strict performance
of the duty of the Inspector is
a matter of very material importance to
them having great bearing upon their
general well-being and safety in the
pursuit of their dangerous calling en-
cOuntering the innumerable perils of
underground work. There are many
applicants for the position from various
parts of the State, and we are pleased to

name of a popular Democrat of Stark
county. We refer to George W. Phillips,
of MassillOn.
Mr.. Philips Is man of undOubted
ability with great force of character and
is in every way peculiarly fitted to fill
the position. His long experience as a
miner and success as a manager is proof
evident that he is reliable under
ground worker. Mr.. Phillips is well
known in the TuscaraWa5, MahOning
and other coal fields of the State, having
been engaged at mining now for twenty
five years. One very noticeable fact IS
that he is highly esteemed by all who
know him.
Since it has been announced that Mr..
Phillips is a candidate for the Inspector
ship his many friends are determined
that he shall receive a RECOMMENDATION
in keeping with his POPULARITY. His ap-
pOintment would receive the hearty ap-
probation of all parties interested.

A Budding Genius.

At the Armada, Mich, fair this fall
says the The Telegraph of that place,
Maggie Leighton, a girl of ID years,
exhibited clay model made by herself,
which elected a considerable amount of
well-deserved newspaper comment. The
fact of her extreme youth and that the
work was all done with an old "case-
knife showed that she possessed rare
amount of talent. Since the fair she
has not been idle, and judging from the
work now on exhibition, the old "case-
knife has been a frequent and faithful
companion. The work consists of three
pieces, the largest of which is the bust
of lady with her head resting upon
her hand. 1t is about eight inches in
height, and is very finely formed and
finished.
The second piece represents a large
Newfoundland dog and little boy, both
asleep, the boys head resting upon the
dog. On this piece the little sculptor
has displayed a great amount of skill,
and we say, without fear of contradic-
ton, that there is not a person in this
part of the country who has any conceit
ii this line who will not, upon seeing
this, admit that her talent far overshad-
ows them. The third piece is bust of
John Patton, Sr., gentleman well
known to many of our readers, and
grandfather to this little artist, and the
features and general looks so resemble
this gentleman that few of his acquaint-
ances fail to recognize him.

A Comedian on Acting.

Nat Goodwin, the comedian, has had
his say on the subject of success on
the stage. His views are scarcely in
accord with those of the actors and ac-
tresses who lately wrote on the subject
in The North american RerieW. He
tells The Spirit Of the Times that be-
ginner on the stage may do one of two
things. First, he may join good old
stock company, ''if he can find one in
the woods anywhere" and remain in it
for half century, when he will be given
a complimentary benefit. Second, if
the beginner does not fancy that way,
he can join a variety show, purchase a
lovely comic song, get dramatist to
write play around it, and at once be-
come popular and rich. ''But if the be-
ginner takes the second way" Mr..
Goodwin adds, che must never own
that success was easy. find that the
really great actors, who have been
boosted to the top of the tree by chance,
| notoriety, or money, are fond of refer
ring to their days and nights of toll and
struggle. and limiting how very hard
they work now. have had tolls and
struggles and hard work myself, but it
was generally after the performance
was over, and 1 might better have been
at home in bed. The midnight oil the
DRY is beautiful, but never saw it put
into practice"

Pnnnlar Errors Oorrected.

The Iron Age correots some popular
impressions respecting distances travers-
ed by vessels at sea. The .'knot' and
the .'Inilen are terms often used inter-
changeable, but enormously so. The
fact is that mile is less than 81 per
cent of a knot Three and one-half miles
are equal, within very small fraction,
to three knots. The knot is 6,092. &c
feet in length. The statute mile is s.
$50 feet. The result of this difference
is that the speed in miles per hour is al
ways considerably larger than when
stated in knots, and if a person forgets
this and states speed as SO many knots
when it was really so many miles, he
may be given figures verging on the in
credible. When we hear parties say that
such vessel is capable of making
twenty knots per hour, we usually take
the statement with very large grain of
salt, for twenty knots is 23-04 miles per
hour, speed which very few vessels
have made, and it is doubted by some
who have the best opportunity for max
ing actual measurements whether any
vessel has ever made twenty-five miles
in sixty minutes. 1t has been said that
some of the English torpedo boats have
made as high as twenty-four or twenty
five knots. Twenty-four knots are over
twenty-seven and half miles per hour,
and twenty-five knots are upward of
twenty-eight and three-quarter miles an
hour, distances that are incredible.

The Gold Product of California

The gold product of California, from
the discovery of the precious metal by
James W. Marshall in the tail-race of
Suffers mill, January 10, 1913, to June
80, 1881, amounted to S1,170. 900, 600.
OF this sum 5000, 600, 600 is estimated to
have. been extracted from the aurifer-
Gus placers. The remainder represents
the yield of gold quartz mines, of which
the State contains many. The yearly
product of gold in California is from
S15,00O,0 600 to S20,00O,OO0. From the
date of discovery to 1861, inclusive, the
gold product of California aggregated
100000, 900, derived chiefly from the
modern river beds and shallow placers.
A large proportion of the remaining
$500, 000,0 900 has been obtained in the
deep gravel deposits, by the hydraulic
method. Strange as it may appear, an
industry which has contributed so
largely to the wealth of the world, and
has been the means of the settlement
and development of California, has
reached a period in its history when it
is claimed by large portion of the
community to be a greater evil than
blessing, and the question of suppress
ing the hydraulic method of gold min
ing has been the subject of earnest dis
cussion in and out of the halls of legis-
lation. The law has been invoked to
suppress or control it. Even the State,
through its Attorney General, has COM
menced a suit to suppress it. The
trouble grows out of the immense
amount of debris which the hydraulic
mines are discharging constantly into
the water courses of the State.

WHY She Chose the Handkerchief,

A patient, quiet young salesman in
the mems underwear department in a
New York store heaved such sigh the
other day that a reporter for the Sun
who stood By inquired what the trouble
was.
do you see that young lady going
away there with her mother?" replied
the young salesman, passing a long,
thin, white hand through a poetic head
of hair, and then pointing to a chatter
ing, laughing, daintly-dressed young
woman who was following an enlarged
edition CT herself through the crowded
store.

tiously.

Strange History of a Will.

One has heard of wills written on
bed-posts, concealed in hay-lofts and
flower-pots, and other possible and i'm
possible places, but probably no will
has ever passed through stranger vicis-
STUDIES than one admitted to probate by
Sir James Hammer. The testator was
an engineer on board a channel steam,
er and made his will giving everything
to his wife, and gave her the will also
Some time afterwards they had a quar-
rel, during which she tore the will up
and threw the pieces into the fire. The
husband picked up the pieces and put
them in an envelope labelled Poison"
but said he would make a new one.
However, several years afterwards he
died of smallpox on the steamer, andon
his clothes being searched, before burn
ing, the envelope with the pieces of the
will inside it was luckily found and
given to his wife. The brand pluckesl
from the burning has now been pieced
together and will be deposited at Som
erset house, lesson to all time to
wives not to lose their temper too far
if they do not wish also to lose their
husbands property, or to save it only
by lawsuit. Mall Gazette.

The Troubles of Prize Raanties.

There was quite a sensation the other
day at the contest of beauty in Bunnell' S
museum at New York. A young man
engaged to be married to one of the
beauties went to the museum, and after
very animated discussion with the
young woman, finally persuaded her to
leave the place. The manager was sit
ting in his office when tall, gaunt wo-
man about 40 years of age pushed her
way past the ticket collector and enter
ed the museum. II want my daughter, :"
she said. "Where is my daughter?" =
She would not listen, but pushing her
way upstairs to where the contestants
were, looked for her daughter. She
finally discovered her in No. 81, and, in
voice that startled the beauties, the
curiosities, and the visitors, exclaimed:
'Anastasia Vickers, leave this place i'm
mediately! Come, make mover No.
80 recognized her mother, but she was
so frightened that it was some time be-
fore she could muster courage to speak.
Then she began: "Why, mother"
Don't begin to cry; none of that, An

mediately. To think" said she, ''that

Lyman Beecher's Observation-Disclosures

DR.. Beecher was frequently absent
minded. On one occasion, after an
evenings service, he started for home
in brown study. The houses in his
block were of the same pattern. He
entered the wrong door. The house
which he mistook for his own was oc-
cupied by well-known halter, BY the
name of Rhoades, Unitarian. The
Doctor put his hat on the stand in the
hall, and went into the back parlor,
where Mrs. Rhoades and her family
were gathered, drew chair up to the
fire, put his feet to warm on the mantle
over the CRATE, tipped back his chair
and his head-simply thinking. Just
then he happened to notice French
clock under glass upon the mantle, and
exclaimed: ''Wife, where in the world
did you get that clock?" No answer.
No one could answer, for they were
ready to burst with merriment at their
neighbours absence of mind. Il say,
wife! where did you get that clock?''
Mrs. R. was.a lady. Putting her hand
gently on his shoulder, she said: ..Dr.
Beecher, you have made mistake and
got into the wrong house." He cast
quick glance around upon the family
circle, sprang from his chair, and with
bound was out of the house, without
a word of explanation or excuse.

Aesthetic Nnwhovs-

Cowboys have their love of the beau
tiful in rovolvers, if nothing else. This
is apparent from an experience of the
Colts Arm Manufacturing Company,
of Hartford. Two cowboys OF Wyom-
ing have just asked for their estimates
of the cost of two revolvers of elaborate
workmanship. The Hartford Post
states that '.from the designs furnished
the stock of each revolver must be of
pearl, horse and rider chased in gold
on one side, and a heavily draped
woman and birds, in the same precious
metal, on the other side. The barrel
and working parts of each are also to
be heavily chased and inlaid with gold,
so much so, in fact, that the steel of the
revolver is to be nearly hidden from
sight by the gold figures. The bu of
each revolver is to be of solid silver,
elegantly chased. At the least calcula-
ton each revolver, made according TO
the designs furnished, but without the
gold filing, would cost S62, and with
the gold filling, $500. The only revolt
yer ever made by the company in any
way similar to these designs was for
the founder of the company, Col. Sam
uel Colt, and was placed on exhibition
by him at the great London exposition"

A New York newspaper says that
$4,000 in cash will clear any murderer.
The jury system must be reformed. A
jury that will come down and allow the
majesty of the law to be insulted for
less than $4,000 should be delivered
over to the tender mercies of horde OF
book agents. A San Francisco Judge
has decided that an unloaded pistol is
not dangerous weapon. Inasmuch as
nearly all the accidents are caused by
pistols that were known to be unload

Anchoyies vs.. Gamers.

An Irishman, on being told that he
had insulted man, who might knock
him down unless he apolcgized, replied,
"Faithi I'll knock him down first to
show him I'm not afeard, and Thin apol-
ogize." Pat was good representative
of that laundering Celtic impulsiveness
which so often tumbles his countryman
into shot water" when they should
plunge into cooling bath. He was
cousin-German to an Irish officer,
whose comical blunder came near hay
ing tragical ending.
One day, at the mess of British reg
iment, the conversation turned upon
anchovies, small picked fish, relished
by epicures. One of the officers, an
Irishman, remarked that he had seen
them growing in the garden of the Gov
ernor of Malta. His statement was
questioned by a brother-officer, who
went so far as to characterize it as alb
surd.
can didn't l see them with my own
eyes-a beautiful hedge of 'em, with the
ladies picking 'em?' retorted the Irish
man, indignant at his statement being
doubted.
No, you didn't" answered the
doubter, also indignant that such stuff
should be uttered in his presence. ''You
never saw anything of the kind. You
must take US for fools to make such a
statement.
AS is usual in such cases, che word
brought on another, until the little mis-
understanding grew into serious quar-
rel, and challenge was given and ac-
cepted. The next morning the two
met to exchange pistol shots.
At the first fire the doubting officer
fell. "Do you think he's dead?'' anx-
iously asked the Irishman of his second.
..By the capers he's cutting, should
say not" answered his second.
"An' it was capers ye saidp I must
make an apology; it was capers I meant
and not anchovies at allr'
And with Irish impulsiveness and
real regret he made an apology that
was as satisfactory to the wounded man
as could be expected with the pain of a
severe wound in his side. But ''capers''
and "anchovies'' made the point to
many joke in the regiment, for months
afterwards.
