the last stages of consumption, told by
physicians that she was incurable and
could live only a short time; she weighed
less than seventy pounds. On piece of

contained no mineral, excepting the Creole
No. mine The Creole No is just above
town on Treasure hill and is contained
within the townsite limits. The leasers
have not stopped work and are continuing

THE HEAVY SNOW FALL.
1t has showed every day during the last
week and compared with other years at
this season the storm is unprecedented.
Fifteen men were required all the time
during the week to keep the road open
from the Ontario No. 3 to No. 2, and the
same number with teams were required in
the canon to keep the road passable. The
Salt Lake & Eastern trains were showed in
and were unable to get through. The Union
Pacific trains could not reach the depot
and were compelled to unload passengers
in the down end of town. Fences have
disappeared in many places and in the
caiions many houses are covered up.
A slide came down in Empire caflon,
striking the Massachusetts hosting works
and crushing in the south end of the build
ing. Considerable damage was done. Mr..
William Mckay, manager of the company
was expected up Saturday TO attend to the
repairing of the property. The storm was
u heavy one indeed, and 1t is hoped it will
'let up'' B, on.
CHRISTMAS IN THE PARK.
Christmas passed off pleasantly in the
Park and as far as we could learn was one
of the ''merriest" ever known here. AT
the different churches on Christmas,
crowds were in attendance to witness the
exercises and the distribution of presents
from the trees. AT the Methodist church a
fine programme was given, all of which
was enthusiastically It ceived. The Sab
bath school children, through Jessie
Hughes as spokesman, presented to Rev.
j. Tilfer purse of money, and he in turn,
on behalf of the children, also gave purse
to Mrs. F. S. Fox. The presents were dis
tributed and all present felt that they had
indeed had pleasant time.
AT the Congregational church a cantata
was given by the children, besides num-
Der of Christmas carols by male voices,
which were excellent Among the pres
ents distributed was beautiful gift book,
entitled, "In Far Lands" to Mrs. w. M.
Ferry by the teachers. G. a. S.

One of the happiest men who returned
from the Gettysburg memorial encamp-
ment is O. w. Bishing, of Harvey's
Lake, this county. He was a private
in Capt. Rice's company, Fifty-third
Pennsylvania volunteers. Bishing was
shot twice at Gettysburg, his wounds
being ugly ones, bullet shattering an
arm and another entering near his right
thigh. This occurred near the bloody
angle and not far from the spot on which
the regimental monument stands. As
soon as he received the wounds he set to
work TO bury his musket. He fell near
big rock, and, though suffering great
pain and bleeding profusely, he man
aged to scoop out enough dirt at the base
of the bowlder to slip his musket into
the excavation. Afterward he carefully
covered it and wondered whether he
would ever see it again.
Bishing accompanied the surviving
members of his old regiment, the Fifty
third Pennsylvania volunteers, to Gettys-
burg on the occasion of the dedication of
their monument. While there Bishing,
accompanied by several old comrades,
started out 10 look for the musket he had
buried twenty-siN years before. The
bloody angle was easily found, and he
soon distinguished the huge bowlder at
whose base he had fallen and where he
had hidden the gun. 1t took but few
moments to dig the earth up, when, to
his joy, he struck the old musket and
quickly resurrected it. 1t had the APP
pearance Of Rip Van Wrinkles fowling
piece, The stock had fallen apart, but
was still in good state of preservation.
The barrel was bound about with thick
coat of rust, and the lock and other por-
tions were in the same condition. But
Bishing lifted the old musket tenderly,
and, as the recollections of the past filed
his mind, he kissed it with the enthusi-
asm of father who has found long
lost child. Bishing brought the musket
to Wilkesbarre this afternoon. He says
he is poor, but no money viii buy the
musket.-Wilkesbarre Pa.) Cor. New

Presidential Trains.

1--WE don't like presidential trains"
said q railroad man "Why?" "For
several reasons. They are very expen-
sive. The best cars, the most compe-
tent train men are employed. The pres
ident seldom is aware of the fact that
his train is guarded by detectives, but
we have our secret service men there,
just the same. Every other train must
keep out of the way of the presidents
train. Fast freights that usually run
within ten minutes of ordinary passen-
ger trains are not allowed to be within
thirty minutes of the presidents special.
You can see, it costs considerable to
side track train for thirty minutes
Passenger trains must take the siding
and mail trains lay by. In the case of
mail trains, we are under heavy bond to
make certain time, and Just imagine
how mail car must run to make up
time lost on side tracks. Bridges must
be guarded and inspected, and nothing
left undone that will insure the abso-
lutely safe passage of the presidential
party. Then the strain on every man
employed is severe. We always feel
greatly relieved when the presidential
train leaves our division, and the fell
lows on the next division or the other
road have to do the sweating. You
never heard of a presidential train being
wrecked, did youT'-lndianapolis News.

Where's the Aurora?

The aurora borealis is phenomenon
that for years has been conspicuous by
its absence from these skies. Time was,
and that not 80 long ago, when the
northern heavens presented a spectacle
of weird, bewildering beauty. Why this
dearth Of electrical display? The earth
and the heavens and the sun and the air
are the same, to all appearances. Yet
the borean horizon is innocent of its
shifting canopy Of northern lights. Nor
has there been any reason given by scien-
tific men for this disappearance. Big
spots on the sun come and go. Their APP
pearance has been in former years found
to be coeval with the aurora, but the rule
has not held good for decade. Have
the thousands of dynamos that have
come into existence In that time ground
out such lot of electrical energy that
there is not enough left In the atmos-
phere to tit out single display in the
northern heavensS-Pittsburg Bulletin.

A Queer Sect of Turks.

Among the last batch of Syrians arriv-
ing at Castle Garden were three Druses.
Two were farmers and the third was
shoemaker. They went from Castle Gar
den to Baltimore.
These three men are the only Druses
who have ever come to this country. An
isolated and peculiar race, the Druses
have lived for generations near Mount
Lebanon. Their total number is about
10000. Hakem, the third Fatimite ca
liph, is claimed by them as their found
er. They honor him as divine being,
and faithfully observe the curious re-
ligious rites which he established.
They are divided into two classes-the
elect and the ignorant. The elect are
the high priests, and the ignorant are
those who are too young and inexperi-
enced to be initiated into the mysteries
of their religion. The high priests guard
the mysteries of their faith zealously,
and tolerate neither Hebrews nor Chris
tians. The ignorant are far less conserva-
tive, and frequently mingle socially with
believers in their creeds.
The elect Druses believe that Jesus
Christ was merely an ordinary prophet,
and that Hakem was really God, mani
tested in tho flesh. They are confident,
too, that the number of orthodox Druses
can never decrease or increase.
The three Druses in this country are
fine looking men, and are evidently pos.
sessed of unusual intelligence. - New

WHERE LADY FlREMeN FLOURISH.
Enlisted in the Service to Give Other
Women Courage.


The lady members of the fire brigade
in Paris, who are the lions of the hour,
are young English girls - the Misses
Mortimer, Nichols, Bessell, Pritchard
and Jeffs-who have come over with the
delegates of the English fire brigades.
They are all Londoners. had this
evening a talk with the whole party.
Maj. Heath told me that to Miss Nor
timer the honor was due of taking the
first step. Mr.. Louis suggested it to her.
After a great fire he said to her that
there was really no more danger in get
ting out Of high window than out OF
one on the first floor if there were nerve
and cool determination to hold on to
the rope or ladder. The peril lay, he
said, in furry and want of pluck. Were
some plucky girls to show women how
easy it is to make descents from top
windows, the victims from fire would
not be SO many. Miss Mortimer conse-
quently tried All the girls began with
perilous descents, and were not trained
gradually to make their plunges down
life saving canvases. They have learned
to go up ropes and ladders as we'll as
down.
While we talked the young ladies, who
were in ordinary clothes. were reminded
that they had very littlu time to dress
for soiree in the Aven lie de Wagram,
where the prefect of pol re and his fire
brigade staff were to meet the congress.
After the soiree they were to be taken
to the Ell Dorado, where 800 places had
been engaged for the delegates of France
and the foreign nations represented here
| remained to see them in their cos
tunes, and talked meanwhile with Mai
Heath. He told me that Nine. Carnot
had invited the girls to Fontainebleau,
and that the president at the general re-
view on Sunday was to see them at
work. Every one he said, treated them
with respect and sympathy. The OBJ
jects Of the firemen's congress were to
make known the best means OF prevent
ing and putting out fires, and to make
insurance companies bear a great part
of the expense of keeping up efficient
fire brigades, and provide for men
MANNED in trying to extinguish fires in
insured houses.
Resolutions to this effect having been
carried, the young ladies came back
dressed in their uniforms. They had
red silk caps, dark blue short skirts, not
descending below the calf, soft leather
boots, neat bodices. with broad brass
buttons, and turned up with red at the
neck and cuffs.-Loudon News.

Curious Atmospheric Phenomena.

A Boston lawyer, who has returned
from trip to Maine, tells of curious
phenomenon existing at the Livermore
falls in that state At the foot of one of
the dams the descending water seems to
be driven back with so much force that
half way up the column Of water there
is an ever moving line of water, like
crease in a piece of cloth. This has an
effect upon the surrounding atmosphere
that is almost incredibly great. The
phenomenon is not observable at all
times, but when the "wave" is visible on
the falling water objects suspended in
the air at some distance from the falls
are observed to vibrate perceptibly in a
regular movement. The vibration, while
perceptible at the time when the "wave"
can be seen, seems to stop almost in
stantly after the "wave" disappears, and
it seems almost certain that the latter
causes the former. Boston Advertiser

comes necessary to confine him. His
history has some queer features. For
many years he was prominent and sue
cessful contractor in Cincinnati, where
he accumulated money and invested 1t
in real estate in that vicinity. His larg-
est holdings lay in Avondale Green vile
and Columbia, o., and they have become
very valuable About a score Of years
ago, as he was driving away from the
place, man who was trespassing hurled
q heavy stone at him. The missile struck
him in the back of the head, and from
that time on he began to lose his mind
While this infirmity was coming on,
and before it had proceeded SO far as to
call for interference in his behalf, he was
induced to transfer his Avondale estate
to an unprincipled man, who, Il is said
did not render him theslightest compen.
sation for it. Litigation followed. and
the sale was set aside.
Some time after this Greenville man
was appointed his guardian. The Avon
dale property was sold for 100000. The
rest of his property is still untouched
Armstrong was never married. His only
heirs are his nephews and nieces, chill
dren of his sister, and nearly all Of them
live in Louisa county, not far from Wa
pello. Several years ago he was brought
there and since then has made his home
with his niece and her husband, Mr.. and
Mrs. S. j. Paris. He is subject to several
harassing delusions, principal among
which is firm belief in witches He
sees them come into his room through
small openings, such as keyholes, and is
greatly bothered by them in various
ways. He keeps the crevices in his room
closely stopped and wears straps around
his ankles to keep the witches from
crawling up the legs of his pants.--Chi-

Amilcare Cipriani,

The most striking figure, physically
speaking, at the recent workingmen's
congress in Paris was that of Amilcare
Cipriani Cipriani was born at Rimini
in 1914. Nominally he is journalist;
actually he is fighter. A Socialist since
he was 10 years old, he has for thirty
years fought and suffered. Twice he
has been condemned to DEATH once to
New Caledonia for life-actually ten
years; to twenty-five years hard labor in
ltaly-actually eight Chained to a log).
He was delivered from this last by the
persistence of the Italian people, who
nine times elected him deputy. To de-
fend his people against the triple al
lance of Russia, Germany, Austria on
the one hand, and against Boulangism
on the other, Cipriani has started uni
versal federation of the people-a move
ment that has already spread widely in
Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. He
is a giant in physique, but with beau
tiful tenderness of manner. His eyes,
hair and beard are black, and the two
last are grazing here and there. He
speaks French perfectly and with great
energy and fire.-London Star.

are also being prepared, and will be
shifted backward and forward by means
