The Vice Of Betting.

John Ruskin: But there is one way
of wasting time, Of all the vilest, be-
cause it wastes not time onl y, but the
interest and energy Of your minds.
OF all the ungentlemanly habits INTO
which you can fall, the vilest is bet
ting, or interesting yourselves in the
interests of betting. 1t unites nearly
every condition OF folly and vice; you
concentrate your interest upon mat
ter of chance, instead OF upon a sub
ject of true knowledge; aud you back
opinions which you have no grounds
for forming, merely because they are
your own. All the insolence of ego
,ism is in this; and SO far as the love
of excitement is complicated with the
hope of winning money, you turn
yourselves into the basest sort OF
tradesmen-lhose who live by specu
lation. Were there no other ground
for industry. this would be sut1icien,
one; that it protected you from temp
tation of so scandalous a vice. Work
faithfully and you will put yourself.in
to possession of a glorious and enlarg
ing happiness; not such as can b.
won by the speed of a horse or marre>
by the obliquity OF a ball.

The Country Roads Election Day.

Private letters from Western and
Northern New York, received by
residents of this city during the past
few days, state that for 36 days prior
to the last election, it had rained
there. The roads we're in a frightful
condition, and in many places voters
going to the polls we're delayed for
hours on the way by their vehicles
sinking to the axles, and other mis-
haps.
AS the strength of the Republican
party is found principally in the
country, where people have more time
to read and think than their fellow
citizens in the cities, the result in
New York is all the more remarkable
under the circumstances.

AN IMPORTANT STRIKE.
A Vein Of Copper Ore Over IS Feet
Wide Reported from Lost River.

"A~O A~StDA ~ - wv. A~~~S e~ssSs
A strike of copper ore which, If it
should be confirmed, will result in the
establishment of mammoth mining
camp on Lost River, Is reported. '
After relinquishing his interest in
the Oriental lease, a few weeks ago,
Ed. N. Morrissey went to the head of
Lost River, to prospect some favor
able ground of which he knew. After
awhile he found lot of copper float
which he soon traced to the ledge.
This was found to carry ore yielding
from 20 to 40 per cent. copper and
30 to As ounces silver to the ton.
After few additional days develop
ment work a lot of samples were
taken, in chunks of various sizes, and
sent to this city for assay. The as
says were made yesterday, and the
ore found to carry s. to SIS per cent
copper, and sufficient silver to make
it worth Sl45 per ton. The vein is
said to have been penetrated Il width
OF 81 feet, with no signs of the Other
wall.

Reed aud another--have taken ut
four claims, and intend to keep f.

Horse Flesh in Great Demand in tn,

Up to few years ago horse flesh
was an almost unknown commodity
in American markets, but now it
seems to have become very popular.
Several shops in the French quarter
of this city display steaks and roas's
cut from the TANKS of horses, and
in some restaurants this treat is served
as regular course in the table d'hote
dinner. An Evening Sun reporter
went into a Blocker street butcher
shop and asked the proprietor if he
sold horse flesh?
"Sar,ongmong, Misieur,' he replied
'All re bong tong butchaire sell Il
'harse. Eet ees re cream OF re meat
and re distingay Frenchman always

Going to large ice chest he brough
forth a quarter of what looked yer,
much like venison.
"Zat ees re harse meat" said he
"and re price ees twanty cantz

The meat is good deal darke
than ordinary beef, and there seem
to be a good sale. 1t is imported, St

probable that the portions Of the car
casses of some of the worked
car horses serve as entrees or roast

CAPT. YoUNgs CLOSE CALL.
Accident to Diver While Nearly 100
Feet Below the Surface.
From the Ne,o Raren Union.

From the Ne,o Karen Union.
Capt Young had terribly close escape
with his life while at work in 100 feet OF
water, near Faulkner's Island, on Monday.
He had gone down to put chains under a
sunken vessel. A system of telephoning
has been arranged for divers, so that by
means OF a wire, which is inside the air
pipe. oral communication can be held with
those on the boat above; and, to test the
efficiency OF this improvement, Capt. Young
had new air-pipe with the telephone adj
dition made for use on this occasion. He
remained under the water some time, and
succeeded in placing the chains under the
sunken Helen Augusta, when suddenly
the supply of air, which is pumped to
divers at this depth by steam power, gave
out
HIS clothing, which before was so in
fiated, WAS pressed about him. A horrible
death from suffocation or the great press
ure OF the water at such depth seemed
imminent. He had strength to signal the
men above to haul him up, but that was
all He felt himself rising higher and
higher toward the surface of the water, his
hand touched the fore-rall of the sunken
craft, aud the horrible thought of what
would certainly be if he became entangled
IN the rigging overhead came before his
mind. From that time he remembered
nothing until he recovered consciousness. an
hour afterward,
The attendants of the diver OWNED some
thing wrong, and hauled him up as speedily
as possible. In doing SD the air-pipe was
drawn IN, and the attendants saw that one of
the brass couplings of the hose had broken
ms furnished key the matter Grasping
a long and keen knife, one of the attendants
jumped overheard as the inanimate form of
the diver appeared, and, as soon as the sur
lace was reached, slit the heavy rubber suit
In varioGs places, SO as to allow the air to
circulate freely about the incased body.
The helmet and heavy garments were re-
moved as expeditiously as possible, and for
nearly an hour the men chafed the hands of

to restore him before success crowned
their efforts He was then brought
to this city, aud medical attendance sum
moned. The face aud body of the diver
presented horrible appearance The veins
were swollen till they protruded from his
flesh, on each side of mis- neck at the jugu,
lar veins were large protuberances, his eyes
were bloodsh0ti and bulging from their
sockets. and his entire form was covered
with livid bitches, giving him the appear
ance of man who was suffering from the

THE SMOKE PUZZLE.
Searching For q Substitute For Soft
Coal
From the PAapdflphsd Record

From, the PAapdflphsd record.
Flying smoke and cinders on the line OF
the Pennsylvania railroad company in West
Philadelphia have been playing havoc with
handsome dwelling properties there for
years, and owners and tenants are crying
loudly for relief With full knowledge Of
the hardship which this state OF things en-
tails, the Pennsylvania railroad officials
have made exhaustive search for a remedy,
but so far to no purpose. The company Is
impelled as much by the desire to protect
its own property as to remove a cause for
public complaint, and to this end has for
the past ten years devoted both skill and
money to the consideration Of the subject
Recent supreme court decisions have re-
moved all hope of private property owners
along the line of the road securing legal re-
dress. So long as the company can show
that in the lawful use and operation of its
lines it exercises due care and vigilance 1t is
safe from judicial Interference.
This principle of the law" said an Off
GER OF the company, "has been time and
again confirmed by the courts. In ire
qient cases where the locomotive spark has

been decided that the owner could recover

General Agent Latta. in speaking of the

obviate it. This annoy nee is as serious

pie who complain. 1t is a nuisance | adj
NIT. We have sent scientific and mechan-
ical experts to England and Russia and else
where abroad to study out scheme of pre-
vention, and at our shops in Altoona we
have men constantly at work endeavoring
to solve the puzzle. The introduction of
screens in locomotive stacks has been a step
toward preventing destruction of the pro-
perty along our tracks, and has wrought
Some good results. Anthracite coal cannot
be used on our long runs or heavier grades,
as there is a risk of fires going out.
1.-The nearest approach we have made to
securing a fuel of the proper capacity and
which will not emit smoke is petroleum.
That is used in Russia with success. But
there is not enough petroleum in this coun-
try TO supply fuel for our New York divis-
ion alone. The reason for this is that in
the petroleum produced in this country rs
per cent. is of illuminating quality, and not
available as fuel The 25 per cent. i'esi6
uum can be used as fuel, but that is far
from sufficient to supply us with motive
power. The Russian petroleum is different.
1t has only 25 per cent, of Illuminating
power, while the other rs per cent. can be
used as smokeless fuel on locomotives
