Among the most valuable expert
ments made recently with view to
ascertaining the difference in the con
sumption of coal between running a
train very rapidly and at a very low
speed, those upon the Pennsylvania
road, near Philadelphia, present the
most pertinent and definite data for
arriving at a conclusion. According
to the published account, the same
conditions, same numhar of cars and
similar engines were employed, and
the trains In each case went the same
distance-119 miles out and back, with
same stops. The fast train ran on
schedule express time, and consumed
6,725 pounds of coal; the slow train
ran at twelve miles an hour, and con-
sdmed 4, 4s0 pounds, baiag saving of
2, 305 pounds.

his wife was left with two children to
struggle for bread For one year
Mary Palacios worked untiringly
with her needle to feed and clothe her
children, and then she gave up the
bitter struggle and was buried beside
her husband.
After her death the two girls had
no one to care for them, and for some
Sime they existedin precarious man
ner by doing light housework in
various places in Philadelphia. Then
they returned to Camden, where Ger
truGe was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs
LippincOtt, of Market street, above
Third, Camden, while Teresa struggl-
ed along at service in various families
until she could work no longer.
Teresa Palacios. for whom comfort
and plenty now wait, was found in
the little, scantily furnished house of
poor fisherman In Mechanic street
South Camden-sick, hopeless, and
pining away-her face wan and thin,
her eyes unnaturally bright. her thin
form clothed in wretched calico
dress. The young girl, who is now Il
years old, was two days ago turned out
of the home Of a hard hearted wretch
of a woman, for whom she was try
ing to work, but who found her too
weak to do it; turned her out without
home or shelter, into the cold and
driving rain to wander, drenched to
the skin, until these poor fsher-folks
took her in and gave her food and a
roof over her head. She knew moth
ing of the consul's advertisement, and
received the news with apathy. The
girl is completely broken down. The
good woman who took her in said
''She has been crying all the after
aoon. The poor girl is very weak.
The dark shadows of poor Teresa S
unhappy life was made deeper by
the contrast bet Ween her wretched
surroundings and shattered health
and the joyous. comfortable life of
her sister Gertrude, who was seated
at the piano in the home of the Lip
pincott's, taking her masic lesson.
Gertrude, who is not quite ten years
old, is beautiful dark-eyed girl, with
the Developments of a girl of IA. She
was elegantly dressed and full of life
and spirit. Besides music, she is be-
ing taught drawing and painting and
goes to school, pretty little lady.
MIR. and Mrs. Lippincott knew moth
ing of the advertisement until inform
ed by The News gatherer. Mr.. Lip
pincott had been told that Juan Pal
acios, before his death, spoke of some
property which would some day be
his in Santiago, and two years age
he made some efforts to find out what
there was there that belonged to Ger
trude and Teresa, but after long de
lay the inquiries resulted uusatisfac
torly.
If the girls obtain the property
which is reported to belong to them
they will be wealthy as far as money
IS concerned, but the probabilities are
that poor, wan Teresa Will never live
to enjoy her Inheritance.

A Train Outruns a Deer.
Jacksonville FIaN Times


Yesterday morning as the first train
out from the Ancient City on the
Jacksonville, st. Augustine & Halifax
River Railway was passing the ham
mock known as Twelve Mile Swamp,
fine buck leaped upon the track
about hundred yards ahead of the
engine, and started down the track.
Engineer Peoples saw him and gave
the salute.
Then he opened wide the valves and
the race began. He then sent man
through the train to borrow a pistol
with which to sheet the animal as
soon as the engine was close enough
for that purpose, but no pistol was
found. and the engineer had to con
tent himself with dead run, and if
the deer refused to clear the track to
treat him like a COW and run him
down.
For several miles the race was an
Interesting one, the train going at
the rate of twenty-five miles an hour
and slowly gaining on his buckship
As the train approached Sampson,
about twenty miles from this city,
when is was within few feet of the
deer, he leaped from the track and
made off into the dense forest.

PAPER frem the Yucca Plant.

When the savages on this continent
first made cloth and cordage out of
the leaves of the yucca plant, they
little thought that they were prepar-
ing to provide paper for a great Lon
don journal. It is now stated, how
ever, that the London Telegraph has
leased large tracts of land in the Mo-
jave desert for the purpose of utilizing
the yucca plant, which grows abund-
antly there. The leaves are to be
ground into pulp on the Colorado
river, thence shipped by rail to New
Orleans, and thence by sea to Liver
pool, and to be manufactured into
paper for the use of the Telegraph.
This so-called desert" in which the
the Mojave river is lost, is a desert
only in name, though In parts the
heat is so intense that the vegetation
is scanty. 1t lies mainly In San Ber-
nardino county, Cal. The plant,
which has been loAg known for it's
striking appearance, has large sword
shaped evergreen leaves, which end
IN sharp black spikes, and the fbres
of these leaves the Indians have long
used in the manufacture of cordage
and coarse cloth.

Why Times are Dull.

Why are these dull times9 Is it
that people need less this year than in
former years. Are there fewer people
in the country now than when last we
enjoyed the benefits of prosperity
Quite the contrary; our population is
larger and there is more actual busi-
ness In every way. The trouble is to
be traced not to the consumers, but to
the manufacturers. Three years ago
there was a great boom, goods could
Rot se turned out fast enough, addi-
tions were built to shops that were too
small, larger stores were hired to ac-
commodate the increased stock order
ed, and factories on the other side were
enlarged to cope with tie demands
from America. In the rush and
eagerness to turn out goods men did
not stop to think that this could not
last forever, and that the day would
come when the market would be glut-
ted, We have since. had time to pom
der over the situation at our leisure;
1t is evident that the manufacturing
facilities of the country, if taxed to
the utmost, can turn out enough goods
to over6ll the market, and the reac-
ton is bound to come This is desig-
mated as fast age; let us be little
slower and surer.

The Great Alaska River.
New York Herald, Dec. ID.

Before the American Geographi ical
Society at Chichering Hall last even
ing Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka
lectured on 'sAlaska and Exploration
Along the Yukon River; an Account
of the Longest Raft Journey in the
World" Through the center of
Alaska, the lecturer said, flows the
mighty Yukon, a stream so grand
that, if its head were at Salt Lake
City. it would, as the crow flies,
empty in New York Harbor. It was
discovered in 1882 by anventurers in
the employ of the Russian Fur Com
pany. His idea of exploring the river
on raft, he said, was laughed at By
the whites and many of the Indians.
Ihey said that he would never be
able to pass it through the miles of
lakes and boiling rapids. He never
theless determined to make the effort.
Inc lecturer aext gave graphic des-
cription of the tedious and dangerous
travel over the burning heights be-
tween Sltka and the head of the
Yukon. He described the repairing
Of the raft at the latter place, the
crew standing in ice water and sur
rounded and attacked by myriads of
musluitoes. After passing a lake,
which ne called Lake Bennett. thev
met with high waves and a perfect
hurricane which made the raft work
IN the center like an accordion. After
leaving Lake March they encountered
the rapids of the Grand Canon of the
Yukon, where the waves were from
four to five feet in height. Here the
mosquitoes were uncomfortable. So
numerous and bloodthirsty were they
that Esquimaux dogs were killed by
them under eertaia circumstances.
and even the grizzly bear was com
relied to succumb. He later on des-
cribed passing and aiming three
great rivers, one of which he called

ciety. (Applause.) The party also
passed an immense stream called the

IN THE LITTLE ROCKIES.
Not the Bright Prospects That Had
Been Painted There,
st. Paul Day.

St Paul Day.
His name was FL. Fl. Asbury, and
he had just come in from the Little
Rockies, and spread his bold, bad
autograph on the register of the Mer-
chants, when he was solicited by a
Day reporter to talk about the mines
there.
II was In Helena when the first
intimation of gold there was given
out, he said, "and I got an outfit at
Benton, taking the Grow creek road
from there to the scene of excitement
It required eleven days to make the
trip. Times were good Ia the Little
Rockies the /, and got as high as 80
cents to the pan. Tne gulch proper
is three miles long and there are
places in it where the bed rock is
washed bare for three or four hundred
feet at a stretch. The general forma
ton is porphyry, and there are from
eighteen to fifty men at work IN this
one gulch. In the entiI mialng dis
trict there are all told from eighty to
one hundred men. They are going
and coming ali he time and the in
crease in number, if any, is very
small, most all appearing to think
there is nothing in it. The great
drawback is lack of confidence. IF
one man make big find it sort O
livens up the feelings of the rest, but
it does not last long. The prospectors
soon settle down into idle listlessness.
do rot think there is single claim
IN tne mountains that is paying. One
hole was sunk about fifty feet deep
but they had nc return, then drain
about nine feet deep on Peoples creek
was made and few colOrs were St
cured in the pan. Now there is no
one around the creek. 1t is utterly
deserted. There was a report that
$130 was taken oHt in one day Ia Little
Alder gulch, but 1t was all bosh, for
at all the different camps $40 was the
largest sum that could be found as
having been taken out in one day.
The report that there are traces OF
diggings there a number of years ago,
is RatrHe, for | could not find any eVi-
dence of them.
''The mountain looms up in the
midst of a large plain, and branches
off from one gray peak in all direc-
tiOns. There are many difficulties
encountered in operating these mines,
the principal being the lack OF water.
There is none to wash out the gold
except what is obtained by the melt
ing of snow during the late spring and
early summer at the heads of the
gulches. The only reason why this
senseless stampede occurred was an
attempt to get people into the country.
It is a good grazing region, and on
this plan they can alone secure a per
manent settlement"
