Mccullough aad RalstOu.

After the death of Ralston, his hacker
in the California Theater, Mccullough
found that $50, 900 paid in by him to
the bank had not been placed to his
credit. Before p oducing the receipts
for the payments he said:
"If this transaction will reflect on
Ralstons memory j will tear up the
papers"
The matter was never satisfactorily
adjusted, and Mccullough found il
necessary to continue his tour as a star
to make money enough to meet his
debts. - December Overland.

The Ruby the Most Precious.

1t is not generally known that the
diamond is not the most valuable of
the precious stones. The ruby is the
more valuable-that is, ruby of a
given weight outranks the diamond of
the same. For instance, ruby OF the
proper colo--the pigeons blood-of
one karat weight, is worth about the
same as a one-karat diamond, but a
ruby that weighs two karais is worth
ten times as much as q two-karat
diamond. ST. Paul Globe.

received not less than 5000 or $780,

averaged some $4,000 annually. He
usually received $4,000 for a story to
run twelve weeks. Once he earned
$1,000 in six weeks, and at another
time, under pressure, he wrote book
of 610 pages in thirty-two hours. But
during thar time no hardly slept or ate.

THE Lynchburg (Va.) Ne,cs says
that, although the lynching of Henry
Mason (colored) recently, for the MUIR
der of Mr.. Hammersley, is the first oc-
currence of the kind in Campbell
County, the very name of "lynch-law"
was derived from o native of that
county-old Colonel Lynch, who was
in the habit of administering summary
punishment to marauders and mis-
creants of every description, without
paying any attention to the ordinary
processes of law. Hence he was called
Judge Lynch" and this, it is said, is
the true origin of the terms "lynching'
and "lynch-law.

been discharged from the Suffolk regi-

oldest soldier in the British army, hav-

seventh on the ground that six were
the maximum number allowed. He
had served in the Crimean and Indian

A Deathbed Scene.

A Brooklyn wife lay dying. Her
husband and children were gathered
sorrowfully about the death-bed, watch
ing the last breath of loved wife and
mother, when she feebly whispered:
James, will you promise me not to
marry again; it's my last wish?"
"Yes, dear wife, promise you," re-
piled the sobbing husband.
"Oh; if l could believe it, James, but
you are such an awful liar" And with q
soft. sweet, placid smile she calmly
sank to rest. Brooklyn Times.

THE announcement of the engage
ment of Miss Sibyl Sanderson, of San
Francisco, to Sir Arthur Sullivan, the
composer, is being discussed with no
little interest. Sir Arthur met the
lady on the steamer going over to
Europe, and the attachment seems to
have been mutual. The match is con-
.sidered good one for the lady. as the
English composer is very comfortably
settled, so far as this worlds goods are

STORIES of the great wealth of Col
orado mine-owners are often greatly
exaggerated. When Senator Tom
Bowen, of Colorado, first made his ap-
pearance in Washington two years ago
he was said to be worth at least 81, 000,-
600. Mr.. Stapleton, of the Rocky
Mountain Nelos, is authority for the
statement that Mr.. Bowen had to bor-
row the money to defray his expenses
to Washington, and was never at any
time worth more than $4,000. The
story of Bowen's great wealth, Staple
ton says, grew out of the fact that
Bowen had an interest in several mines
that would have made him million
aire if they had paid anything, but
they did not. Many of the alleged
Colorado millionaires, Mr.. Stapleton
said, have the same foundation for
their wealth.

tuclI WtdltH.
1T is not true, says Mr.. John M.
Francis, our late Minister to Vienna,
that the Austrian Government re jected
Mr.. Kelley because his wife was a
Jewess. This was suggestion dropped
incidentally and confidentially by
Count Kalnoky to Baron Schaeffer
when the former was trying to "hint"
Mr.. Kelley out of the way in order to
avoid the necessity of rejecting him
outright. Mr.. Francis adds that the
Austrian press, which is almost wholly
under the control of Hebrews, was
unanimous in opposing the reception Of
AIR. Kelley. 1t is impossible that it
could have taken such stand if his
wife's religion had been the real reason
for his rejection, since no Jew of any
standing was ever known voluntarily to
put stigma upon his own race and
creed. The real reason for Keiley's
rejection by Austria was the same as
for his rejection by Italy-viz. the
speech against King Victor Emmanuel
in 1871. Austria had no objection to
the speech per sc, but, as a power
friendly to Italy, and a near neighbor,
she saw her interest in not receiving an
envoy who was OF. ectionable to Italy.
THE book agent is a useful being.
He may sometimes become trife too
obtrusive in his methods when he in
vades the Office or counting-room, but
he is part of the machinery by which
authors get sometimes reasonable
price for their work, and his reputation
has in the past been tolerably good.
His manners have been widely criticised,
but his morals have been admittedly
about up to the average. Now, how
ever, comes information calculated to
bring the book agent into disrepute
1t appears that one of him. of winning
ways, has eloped from Highland, ILL.,,
with a farmers buxom daughter. All
the circumstances of the case have not
yet been revealed; but, whatever they
may be, the too-loving agent has
brought blight upon his class. His
conduct has been unprofessional; and
the farmers, of one locality at least.
will henceforth look upon those of his
vocation with suspicion. If book agents
get to making love on their rounds
they will soon get out of business.
Heretofore they have been to certain
extent trusted; but confidence once be-
trayed is hard to recover, and the
Highland wooer has done harm to his
colaborers in the great field of dis
seminating literature in doubtful bind
ing and poor ink on thin paper which
should make him a pariah among them
unless he brings the farmers daughter
back and is taken into the family as a
son-in-law with standing. A mere case
of elopement is an incident too COM
mon to make special note of; but an
elopement which in its consequences
affects an entire class is an extremely
serious matter.

Great Mine Disaster in
West Virginia.
MOURNING IN MANY HOMES
A Number of Miners Buried in q
West Virginia Mine-Great
Loss of Property.

Special to he Herald bg the Associated Press.
WHEELING, w. Va, January pa
special dispatch to the Inteiiigencer says
that literally Newburg, West Virginia,
stands in the shadow Of great grief, and
her sorrow has invaded homes for fifty
miles along the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, for many little communities are rep
resented at the bottom OF the pit. The
east-bound train brought great number
from Clarksburg, Paramount, Grafton
and intermediate points, and sympathis-
ing friends came from as far east as
Piedmont. They swelIed the hopeless
crowd that hung about the pits mouth.
Men, women and children were there,
pale, trembling. weeping and starring nj
the shaft, almost dumb with consterna-
ton. Few words were exchanged,
and these few in low tones.
Men are still at wosk repair
ing the shattered timbers OF the
shaft and other men were in the bucket
going down the black hole into the
blacker deep below. Returning, they
brought no tidings for the anxious
crowd; but soon the rumor spread that
the search party had found at The bot.
tom of the shaft Daniel Miller, the
eager, and his son, Is years old, a driver,
young Timmons, trapper, and young
Clark, a driver. One OF the party
was quoted as saying that they
found Kennedy's mnle blown sixty
fert out of the stables, with his
halter on. OF the origin Of the disaster
the generally accepted theory, which is
that Of the company's representative. is
that Nick Williams, who was cutting
ditch through brattis at the extreme
end Of the working to run water of,
knocked down O door TO give him n
better chance at his work. The door
played an important part in the system
of ventilation, which was thus de-
ranged. The foul gas collected in great
volume and was fired by q miners lamp.
The company's manager, who came out
from Baltimore to-day, says they have
air and have always kept ahead
of the water. One fear has
been that the entombed men
would be drowned, but fortunately the
pumps have not stopped since the explo-
sion. Tonight the rescue party has got
back In working in about six hundred
feet, finding only destruction along the
way, and they will keep up the work all
night, hoping TO get out the bodies for
the morning inquest. Many families are
left nearly or quite destitute. and will
need the aid of charity. Among the
missing men are two who leave brides Of
