Rich Miners.

Speaking of rich miners the Mining
ReUiea0 has this to say of three of them:
Senator Hearst of California is the best
miner in America. He began in the
mountains as day laborer. To-day
he is the richest man IN the United
States. There is nota mining state or
territory in which he is not owning
and working mines. Jim Witchlatch
sold his mine near Unioryille, Mon
tana, for S1,S00,000 and lost all that
money in Wall street. He went back
to Leadville and in six months made
100000. He lost every cent of this by
the failure of Grant & Wa~d in 1888.
He now has new fortune of $50, 900.
Ten years age Joe Stanley was pros
pecting in Gilpin comfy, Colorado.
His wife took in washing while he dug
his way through seven hundred feet of
barren rock He had no money and
could not hire help. At the end of
seven hundred feet he struck pay ore
and named it the California mine. A
party of Englishmen on tour through
the state gave him $1.000.000 cash f n
it,and he has received s., 100000 in div
ideuds since. Joe is now one of the
richest men in Denver, and vice presi-
dent of the Denver City National bank.

The Great Trinity River.

One of the party who have been ex-
ploring the Trinity River in Texas says
of it: "This river is a revelation to
me. l do not think that such dense
wilderness could be found between the
two chief cities of Texas. Ny opinion
is that this river is between 1,200 and
1,400 miles in length, from Dallas to
its mouth. 1t passes through many
miles of dark and lonesome forests
where the foot of white man has
never left its imprint. We have trav-
eled as long as fourteen days at time
without seeing a human being except
ourselves. And these long stretches
of uninhabited river front are deserted
by beasts and birds as well as humans.
| am convinced that a man would go
crazy if compelled to remain two
months in such woods as | speak of. !"

Georgian Princes.

The costume worn by the guard of
honor OF Georgian princes at the czar's
recent visit to the Caucasus made all
the Russian officers look cheap. The
tunic, fitting close in the body but
wide in the skirts and sleeves, was Of
ruby velvet, with hem of gold en-
broidery and a border of fur; under
this was red silk waistcoat, visible
when the tunic opened upward toward
the throat Beneath the waistcoat
was silk shirt, generally of pale blue,
showing at the neck and wrists. The
trousers were very full and of some
dark-colored material, gathered at the
knee into boots of white kid, wrinkled
at the ankle, the toes pointed and
slightly turned up, the whole fasten ed
with row of gold buttons and tassels
down the outside. Also a belt and
collar of gold of beautiful native work
manship, and splendid specimens of
the swords and pistols for which the
Caucasus is famous.

We notice that some of our Democratic
exchanges are publishing Prohibition

LaMonte for Governor and a wood cut
likeness Of him, the reading matter in
which is mainly devoted to sbuse of the
Republican party, while urging temper
ance Republicans to vote for the Prohibi-
ton candidate. 1t is nice little Demo
cratic scheme, but altogether too trans

The Jerseynaan doesn't know all about

free to a limited number OF newspapers II
Mo- Jersey that would agree to insert |
regularly. We weren't TO be caught b.
that trick, as we saw that 'the hand wal
the hand of Esau" even II "the voice wal
the voice Of Jacob" So far, as we hav,
observed, no Republican paper has beef
trapped to aid Leon Albeit by publishing
Prohibition matter, and the poor success
in this direction, no doubt, has led TO th
insertion of the matter in Democrats
sheets.
We should suppose that Mr.. LahIonte

indignant that he and his cause are being
used to further the interests of Boulangel

Rev. DIR. Scheminger, OF New York, In
an address before the Central Roman
Catholic Society, in Cleveland, on Tues
day evening, declared his hostility to the
public schools on the ground that the
child belonged not to the state, but TO it's
parents, and must be educated by them in
their own way. Perhaps that is sound
reason and perhaps it is not. II the child
belongs not to the state but to its parents,
the parent must belong to himself. Then
the state has no claim upon the individual.
Therefore, the Individual owes no uilegi-
ance to the Government, except such as he
chooses to render voluntarily; therefore,
he is not subject to military duty except
when be sees fit therefore, he may COM
nit treason or encourage 1t 10 others II he
desires therefore, he may, II 1t pleases
him, teach his children that the Govern.
ment need not be respected, that the laws
need not be obeyed, that ignorance is moi
disgraceful, that vice is not wrong pro-
vided the individual so DEGREES. But, af-
ter all, 1t may be that the child does be.
long somewhat to the state as well as Il
the parent. Rev. DIR. Scheminger's theo-

Efforts to Expunge the Resolutions ON Out
RACES OF the Baptist Conference.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 15.-The Southern
delegates to the Colored Baptist Conven-
ton, which has dared to express indigna-
ton over the recent outrages upon the
colored people, are now afraid to return
to their homes. In the convention to. day
they stated that they feared that the action
had been indiscreet, although ii could not
be denied that the resolutions and indi-
yidual utterances we're fully warranted by
the outrages from which Southern colored
people had suffered
The Mississippi delegates said that they
would be killed when they went home
unless resolutions disappearing the fiery
and incendiary speeches should be adopt
ed, and Rev. Mr.. Bowen, of that State,
offered a set Mr.. Booth, OF Alabama,
was also afraid that the recent outrages at
Selma would be repeated when the re-
ports Of the addresses should be read in
his State. Rev. Or. Love, the moderator
of the convention, who was one of the
delegates attacked bya mob at Buxley,
Ca, while en- route to this city, opposed
conciliatory action aud declared that the
time had come to meet Southern oppres-
sion. His speech caused the defeat OF
the resolutions proposed by the timid
Mississippi and Alabama delegates.

DEATH or oAPrArS blizzard.
One OF the Inst OF the Ola Type OF
Wilmington Sen Captains.

SttA
Captain Zsbedee Blizzard, superinten-
dent of Eleventh street bridge, died last
Thursday afternoon at o'clock. The de-
ceased had been an invalid for some time
and at length suooumbed to an attack Of
Bright's disease.
Captain Blizzard was type of the fine
old race Of seafaring men who, half q
century ago, when Wilmington possessed
a brisk foreign and coasting trade, gave
this city q distinctive rank among the
Atlantic sea ports. When Blizzard was
lad it was no uncommon sight TO see
ships homeWard bound from the China
seas, the East and West Indies and the
Mediterranean unloading their valuable
cargoes at this port. The grain fleet too,
at later date, sailing SCORE Of fast
flying brigantines laden with flour, grain
and meal 10 the Atlantic ports OF Boston,
New Haven, New York and to the West
Indies was a usual sight at the mouth Of
the creek.
Captain Blizzard was born March 9th,
1915. His father removed from Sussex
county to near Newport, this county,
while the deceased was very young.
Young Zebedee worked on the farm until
be was 16 years old, when he commenced
q sailors life. At that time of couras
there were no railroads, and an immense
traffic was done between Delaware ports
and Philadelphia by market sloopa carry
ing the produce Of the farms, including
vegetables and fruits. He continued in
the business until he became Of age,
when the young sailor, who had deVel-
oped wonderful aptitude for sea-
faring life, came here 10 the Brandy
wine and immediately became captain
Of one OF the coasting traders
carrying grain from the numerous
mills of that location to Atlantic ports.
Captain Blizzard made frequent runs also
to the West Indies with great success,
earning for himself the credit OF one Of
the best vessel masters sailing from the
port. He followed the business until 16
years ago when he became incspacitated
from rheumatism. In 1879 he was elected
superintendent OF Eleventh street bridge,
aud has held the position ever since. BE
married Charlotte Baker, graad-
daughter of Captain Baker, China
trader, who sailed in 1910 for Port au
Spain, Trinidad, and was never heard Of
since. The deceased leaves one daughter
married to Alexander Thomas OF thia city.
The funeral took place on Sunday
afternoon ct 8 o'clock.
