WHY MINERS LOSE REASON.
The Lonely, MonotonOus Life and
Its Many Blighted Hopes Finally

@sc NANhy Dii|htOu l1OpCS 1t iudlly
Culminate in Insanity.
Special Letter to the Globe.
RAPID CITY, Dak., Feb. 25.-People
still 60 crazy in the Black Hills. The
percentage of insanity in the population
of this region is very large, and much
speculation has been INDUCED in con-
corning the cause. A physician who
has lived long in the Hills, and who has
examined into the mental condition of
many an unfortunate, bereft of reason,
sums up his conclusions on the topic in
one neutrality-suspicious.. And this
can readily be believed. For where do
you hnd more disappointed men than in
mining country? If every man who
goes to mining camp realized his ex-
pectatiOnS millionaires would be COM
moner than trampS. But every man
does not, and where one man gets rich
hundreds lose their all, and are disap-
pointed. Yet there is always held out
the delusive hope that just ahead, the
next stroke of the pickaXe, the next
shoyelful of dirt, or the next shot of the
blast will uncover the fortune that has
so long eluded patient toll and anxious
waiting. Who ever read Bret Hartie's
49," and does not recall the Joy of the
old miner when he succeeded in making
the strike, just as he was about to
give up?

easy at per cent. Prime mercantile paper
4lsG15I2. Sterling exchange dull but steady
atiS4 50 for siXty-day bills and 81. 81 for de-
mand. The stock market to-day was dull as
usual, but showed more decided weakness
than on any previous day this week and
prices declined almost throughout the ses-
sion. There was very little life i'll the list at
first, but the feeling was bearish, and Lon
don had some selling orders in its specialties
and the traders joined in the selling OH the
reported strike on the Chicago, Burlington q
Quincy. though for some time there was not
aninfiuential room trader present in the
board. The bear operators, however, gave
out some heavy selling orders later. North
western stood the brunt of the attack at
first, but was superseded later by Louisville
d Nashville and Missouri Pacific the stock
men toned being the only stock whose ex-
IRENE fluctuations for the day extended to l
per cent There was some little buying for
arbitrage account toward the close, but it did
no more than to steady the list in some direc-
tions. The market opened dull and weak,
but for the first few minures advanced
slightly. This was soon checked however
and every thing reacted. and under greater
activity prices moved off slowly. There was
a halt late in the first hour, but on the issue
of the bank statement the decline was
resumed, and the market finally closed
of the day. Everything is lower, and
Louisville u Nashville lost 1ls per cent Col
orado Coal and Richmond & West Point pre-
ferred l per cent each, and the rest of the
list fractional amounts. The railroad bond
market was in the same liteless Bnd weak
state as the share list today, and the deal
ings presented not Il single feature of inter
est. Prices were heavy throughout the ses-
sion, and almost everything traded in shows
a loss from the last previous sale. The to.al
transactions were only 1888 900. Important
changes were few in number. The total sales
of stocks to-day were 53,4.9 shares, includ-

Mans InsfSnificance.

Somehow when a mans mind becomes really
engaged-say like that of Baron Humboldt-and
he is able to place in focus more and more of the
cosmos of which he forms part. the things he at
the outset of his life regards the largest, get
smaller and smaller, till at last that first immense
and overwhelmingly important thing, himself, be-
comes so insignificant that it is only through q
process of mental microscopy he can discern his
little float swim wiggle the field of view.
How big is a man anyhow? Well. he is smaller
than an elephant, and an elephant is smaller than
a mountain. and mountain is smaller than the
world, and the world is a mustard seed compared
with the sun, and the itself is q mere mote
in the dustcloud of spheres that stretches out
through the universe beyond the reach Of thought

mental manhood. My mind presents me
with number of feasible suggestions to
take the place of solitude, and without ex-
pense to speak of. But we will be content

there is will growing strong among the
people to abolish many of the existing regu-
lations OF prisons, and establishing in their
stead more humane and higher aims. Soil
tude will be one OF the abolished rules be-
couse it is wrong and has an evil influence.
Some foul-mouthed wretches may have to
endure it while undergoing discipline. but
that is all. The object of placing us in soli-
tude is dollars and cents-the saving by the
state OF few guards. But for this we
might have evening schools, lectures, read
ings Rotations, and on Sunday afternoons
and evening religious exercises. Among
ourselves, we could have half hour at noon
in the prison yard, as we'll as few hours
on Sunday. We would get some sun and
fresh air; we would loose our pale sallow
faces; we would grow stronger. more robust,
physically. mentally. and morally. The only
drawback might be that we would eat lit
tie more, but then we would do more work,
and those of us that have life sentences
would live longer and make it up in that
way. too. The change will come because
of the deep-seated right that is in it, Those

placed upon talking, may read my next

be to call the attention of outside people

The notorious Harriet Burner was con-
victed on charge of procuring at Topeka,
Kan. and sentenced to two years in the pen
itentary. She has not yet been removed
thence, and it is understood that an effort
is being made to procure her pardon. Mrs.
Burner served a three years sentence here
for similar crime. but we never heard of
any steps being taken against the lecherous
brutes who debauched her victims, one of
whom was mere child of Is or ii wears.
Why is this thus?
