SUNDAY sILHoUETTEs.

There is street car line in BuenOs
Ayres which dwarfs anything of the
kind in this country. The road has 200
miles of track, and it is the only street
car line in the world that uses sleeping
cars. That sleeping car idea ought to
be utilized by our st. Anthony hill line.

"How did the English sparrow get
into this country?" asks GLOBE
reader. They were imported here dur
ing the caterpillar plague some years
ago. The first importation consisted of
seventy-tive pairs. which were brought
over from Liverpool to New York.
They mastered the caterpillars all right,
but now the New Workers, as well as
good many people outside of New York,
regret that the eaterpillars had not
proved the victors.

The House of Hope congregation
made their pastor a substantial Christ
mas gift by raising his salary to 5000
year. That is the kind of a Christmas
present that counts, land there never was
an instance of where one was more
merited.
In glancing over the financial reports
of the various church organizations in
this city for the last year, one is amazed
to see what an immense amount of
money has been contributed for outside
purposes. 1t is safe to estimate that
fully half million dollars have gone
out of ST. Paul during the past year to
help the church cause abroad.
Seeing that our religious popu-
latlon are so generous in
good works, how would it do
to take 1.-THE of these contributions for
next year and add that much to the sal
aries of the various pastors, and then
convert another 1.-THE into relief fund
for the benefit of the poor? There are
Christian widows and orphans in st.
Paul who would enjoy these benefac-
tions just as much as the benighted
heather do.
There is no institution so badly needed
in this city as "a Home for Young
Men," We mean by that a-suite of
pleasant rooms where young men can
drop in to spend their evenings. There
are number Of young men of good
families and excellent training who
come here as strangers. They obtain
employment and are occupied during
the day, but their evenings hang heavily
on their hands. Being strangers, they
have not the entree to society. Their
only recourse is to stay closely in their
rooms all the long winter evenings, for
if they go out upon the streets in search
of amusement or companionship a sa-
loon or a billiard hall is the only place
open to them. The thing for our philan-
thropic citizens to do is to establish an
evening home for these young stran-
gers, place where they can congregate
in pleasant social unions, and where
they can find innocent entertainment.
By so doing many young man will be
saved from the downward road.

A MISERY'S GOLD.
A Famous Contest Ended Over a
Miser's Gold.

NEW YORK, Dec. 31.-The famous
contest over the estate of the late James
81. Paine, the miser of refined tastes and
extraordinary intelligence, who lived
and died in Blocker street attic, leav-
ing over 100000 in cash. was decided
to-day by Surrogate Rollins He de-
clined to admit the Will, of which James
III. Wardwel was sole legatee and pro-
ponent, holding that Paine was inca
pacitated. The victory is won by the
Cleggetts, of Boston, the old miser's rel
atives, who opposed the attempt to prove
the alleged lost will. John Ii. Ward
we'll did not live to witness his defeat,
but when he died, left ''All that l may
hereafter become seized of to his wife.
The surrogate in his decision says that
the petitioner sought the probate of an
instrument which was claimed to have
been executed by Paine as his last will
and testamedt. mo instrument an
swering to that description has been
produced, and the evidence shows that
no such instrument has been seen
since defendants death. The surrO-
gate, therefore, has no authority to adj
nit the will.

ID. n. Dellinper.

D. N. DELLINGER-When 1 went to
Butte City, sixteen years ago, there
were about sixty inhabitants, all told, in
the camp, and they were men. Look at
the contrast today. A thriving, populous
town of 25,06O inhabitants, with three
banks whose deposits are upwards of
100000. AS an indication of the en-
hancement of property l will tell some
thing that occurred in my own expert
epce in which two lots were concerned.
One of them bought soon after settling,
for $40, and proceeded to erect a small
brick hardware store upon it. Subse-
quently desired to enlarge my prop
erty, and bought the adjacent lot. Only
about year had interviewed, but it cost
me upwards of $4,000 to crafty this de-
sire, and now these two lots, with the
business blocks upon them, are in the
heart of the business district. A big
mining boom is progressing in Montana,
and principally in copper, while the
gold and silver output bids fair to rival
that of Colorado. 1t is a substantial
boom, too, and all property of mining
character is bound to profit by it.

A Good Showing.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-The receipts
of the government from all sources dur
ing the present month were Sc, S25, 2S5,
and the expenditures so, 400. 6S2, leaving
a net gain of receipts over expenditures
of SIS, 1924 ,603. Out of this net gain,
however, must be paid about s., 50O, 100
for interest upon the public debt which
will leave the actual surplus for Deem
Der SIS, 424, sos. The public debt was
also reduced during the month to the
amount of Sl5, 900. For the entire
calendar year of 1887 the debt was di-
minished by S117,O16,OOO, the largest re-
auctions being made in June ard No
vember, when the payments on that ac-
count aggregated SIG, 900 and $16,-
S33, 900, respectively.

THE DARK MYSTERY.

Four thousand years ago JOB asked:
''If man die shall he live asain?" How
often has the same question been pro-
pounded since then? Only the other
day the great agnostic leader of this
hemisphere stood by the coffin of
dead friend and said: ''Again we stand
in the shadow of the great mystery-a
shadow as deep and dark as when the
tears of the first mother fell upon the
pallid face of her lifeIess babe-a mys-
terry that has never yet been solved"
JOB was a believer, INGERsoLI. is
an infidel, and yet both reyer-
emily bow their heads in the pres
ence of that profoundest of allmysteries
-Death-aud express their inability
to offer solution that will remove a
single one of the deep shadows that sur
round it. The incident seems to dis
tinguish the dividing line between the
believer and the unbeliever and to point
out where the boundaries OF Agnosti-
cism end and where the realm of Faith
begins.
Viewing them as mere human beings
without reference to creed, lNGERsoLL
is as good man as JOB ever was. ROB-
ERT INGERsoI.L is not the God-fearing
man that the shepherd prince of the
East was, but he is an upright man who
escheweth evil. The moral grandeur
of INGERsoII.'S character has never
been surpassed. In all the better scnti-
ments of the human heart, affection,
love of family and friends, purity of
motive and conduct, charity, generosity,
and the thousand and one things which

INGERSoLL is model. Whether he
could endure aillietion with the same
patience that jon did is, what he de-
dominates Death. an uilsoived mystery.

Year showered upon them. This is the
day when everybody is making new

alry-COld weather such as we have eX-
perlenced for the past few days recalls
to my mind a very brave act that was
performed during blizzard at Fort As
sinabOine in the winter of 1884 and 1885.
One day the stage coach, which had a
run of about seventy-fve miles from
Sweetwater to the fort, was missing,
and although furious blizzard was in
progress, the thermometer having
JENKINS, of the Eighteenth infantry,
who knew every foot of the country,
volunteered to go out in search of the
missing stage driver. Within fifteen
minutes after his departure the truant
turned up all right, having stumbled on
the right track by sheer accident, and
being enabled thereby to find his way
to the fort. Some idea of the blizzard
may be inferred from the fact that
JENKINS passed within a hundred and
fifty yards of the stage coach he was
seeking, but did not see it. In fact, as
he afterwards explained it. he was not
expecting to find the stage in such
proximity to the fort, and continued his
explorations along the trail for fully
four hours before returning from his
self-impOsed duty. The driver of the
stage coach was alone, and when he
reached the fort his face and hands
were badly frozen. That is a great
country for sudden falls in the temper
AZURE, and when a blizzard comes up
the only thing to be done is to get into
camp and build fires as quickly as posi-
BILE for the safety of the men and beasts.

J. c. BARTON, Sioux Falls. OAK
One thing that struck me very forcibly
during recent tour through Montana
and along the line of the Manitoba was
that the grades in few instances ex
ceeded thirty feet, and the single ex-
ception was a stretch of about eight
miles in a division of territory en-
bracing over 200 miles. On the other
hand, the Northern Pacific, which runs
parallel, you might say, has grade to
overcome in most places rising 100 feet.
A single engine of the Manitoba will
pull out thirty-two cars loaded leaving
Helena. The beauty Of the Maditoba
line is that it runs through country
that has been pretty well developed and
every acre is available, while the North
ern Pacific was prairie road and had
to heW its own way through the almost
impenetrable thicknesSeS of timber and
over precipitous mountains. Besides,
many of the stockholders of the road
wanted it run contiguous to their resi-
dences, and that will account in meas
ure for the many awkward breaks and
curves in the line
