The veil itself is becoming almost debat-

come down from the days when the friends
OF the maid held yards upon yards Of some
thing thicker than gauZe above her head to
conceal her embarrassment. No widow has
ever taken off the Grape to put on the tulle,
at least the tulle worn over the face a la
Jutue. There is nevertheless a form Of
bridal scarf, recalling the veil. which bids
fair to become part Of the regalia Of the
second marriage. AS worn a week ago by
handsome blonde of 49, not a widow, but

the letters are less frequent and not
near so encouraging.

the way it generally works.
Difficulties are notonly encountered
in running a tunnel or sinking a shaft,

To estimate the actual cost of the
opening up of a mine from the grass

ter. Under the most favorable cir
cumstances, however, unless a pocket

The Troubles Encountered In Opening W

The Troubles Encountered In Opening Up
y Gold Mine.
Working a gold mine sounds very
nice, but very few people are ware of
the di@cnlties and expense attending
this operation.
There are plenty of men in this city
who have been bitten" in small min
ing schemes and who do not now
understand why they were failures.
IL is very common thing for some
hopeful prospector 10 stumble across
Groupings that show free gold, and
that, from all appearances, could be
worked 10 advantage with the expen.
diture Of a little money.
The first thing the prospector does is
TO think mp" some capitalist friend
whom he thinks would he willing TO
invest in the enterprise. He then
writes a letter something after this
fashion:
Il have one of the finest PROPOSE
tons you ever heard Of. / have dis
covered groupings that indicate the
presence of a ledge eight feet wide and
which ! am certain will be found per
manent.
THE groupings show that the ore
will mill al least s25 per ton. Let US
say then that the ore will only yield
one-half this amount.
This mine sic) can be worked-that
IL, the ore can be mined and milled-
at q minimum cost Of 81 per ton, This
will leave q net profit of, say, IS.
Now the groupings show along the
surface for 200 feet, and are 50 situated
that a tunnel could be run 200 feet be-
low, There is no doubt that the ore
will hold out. and after the tunnel is
run there will be in sight practically
25. 900 tons OF ore, which, az S. n ton,
will. as you viii readily see, yield a
profit Of 100000.
"All | need Is ENOUGH money 20 run

mile Distant. and ili'r lat the mine
will nav for ii.oll. lonly need IS, 00O

WHAT THE INTERSTATE LAW

Judge Cooley still has faith in the
interstate commerce law but thinks
il has not yet had the proper moral
support. In a recent Boston speech

mission said:

Pools are things to II he feared. They
antagonize a leading and most valu-
able industrial life in their attempt
not to curb competition merely, but to
put an end to IT. All these things go
TO show that something else needs re-
forming besides the law. 1t is poor
reformatory work that the law can do
in any line OF business unless the
moral forces In the same business
come to its support.

investigates railroad disorders will be
surprised to find how many of them

THEIR NINTH ANNUAL
The Locomotive FiPemen Make
Merry at Harmonic Hall,

The Ninth annual ball of Northwest
ern Lodge No. 81, Brotherhood of Loco
motive fremen, was held at Harmonic
hall last evening, and was one of the
most enjoyable of its kind ever held in
Minneapolis. The reception committee,
consisting Of M. E. Miller. II. l..
Cooper, Ed E. Depew, w. C. Watson
and A. l.. C0ppersmith, did all in their
power to MAKE everybody happy.

by Thyle q RingwaPs orchestra, and
the committee on arrangements. which
consisted of E. B. Mayo. w. Z. Slower.
Z. A. White, A. w. Watson, and Ed NJ.
Carr. had left nothing undOne to make
the occasion one to be pleasantly re-
membered.
The ball room was handsomely decor
ated. Back of the orchestra, which was
seated on the stage, two long stredmers
of bunting, prOfusely decorated with
flowers, were hung in graceful loops to
either side of the platform. In the cen
ter large horseshoe, made of erysan-
themumS SurmOunted the letters of the
order ''B. l.. F." At either side of the
stage quietly repOsed the tools of the
profession OF the Stalwart men who
were maxi NJ merry-the coal shovel
and pick. Powerful locomotive head
lights from either side of the
stage and balcony cast their
rays on the dancing floor. The
pillars supporting the gallery were con-
cealed in the national col0rS, while 100
railroad lanterns in white, red and blue
helped to make the decorations not only
unique but striking. Around the bal
cony large strramer called attention
10 the motto Of the order, Protection,
charity, SObriety and industry" and a
reSoundent engine bell called the merry
folks for the dance. Before midnight
500 people had entered the hall.
Viewed from the balcony, the
handsome decorations, the vari-cOlored
lights with the sOmbre black coats of
the men mingled with the bright cOIored
dresses of the ladies made pretty ka-
leldOscOpic picture. The programme
consisted of twenty numbers and was
faithfully carried out, and supper was
served from 1880 to 1:30 by Caterer
Miller. Among those present were W.
Ii. Whitaker and wife, Scott Derrick
and wife, Thomas Mea and wife. Gus
Ludwick and lady. Charles Rice and
Miss DonnelIy. Charles Delmarter
and wife. Charles Leiper and

before a majority of the dancers left
for their homes and everybody declared
they had thoroughly enjoyed them
selves.

Of the situation the Journal, (Republi-

would be even more disastrous IS that

CURRENT COMMENT.

Frank Mead's "Reminiscences with re-
gard to the nomination of Cush Davis
for governor in 1878, was inaccurate in
the statemeD that Mr.. Davis was
brought out as candidate at the elev-
enth hour. II. p. Hall, at that time
editor of the st. Paul Dispatch, brought
out Capt. Davis, as he was then called,
long before the convention met. The
contest was close, and Davis was at a
great disadvantage by reason of
the fact that he had no money.
The. Ramsey county convention
met the day before the state
convention, and was carried by Davis
alter hot fight. The press opposed
him with great bitterness. and on the
morning of the day on which the state
convention met declared that he had car
ried Ramsey county by the aid of gamb-
lers, blacklegs and pimpS. After he
was nominated it came TO his support III

ably the most unpalataDle dish of crow
ever served up in that establishment.

Sparkled with wit under the novel
heading. "What They're Thankful For"
-
Many of the "barbarians,' as the
students at the state university are
called who do not belong to any of the
secret societies there, are in state of
suppressed excitement since the new
society was formed. At the beginning
nj hn thnra q
tween the 'barbS," as the barbar-
ians are called, and the society
men over the election of officers
of the classes. The former won in
most of the cases, and elected their men
with the understanding. as they claim.
that the officers SD chosen should not
identify themselves with any of the
societies. Some of them have Joined
the new society, and the ''barbS" think
that they should resign their places and
have new election. So far these
officers have given no sign of any in
tentiOn of doing so, and the "barbS" are
considering the propriety OF formally
demanding that they step down and
out.
Perhaps if some Minneapolis papers
should take S. d. S. for their circulation
they would feel better.

By the time the guaranty loan build
ing, the Masonic temple. the New York
Life Insurance building, the addition
to the lumber exchange, and a few
other structures in the process of cree
tiOn are completed, Minneapolis will
have 1000 offices for rent. As the sup
ply is already equal to the demand, the
need of more offices will not be felt
until there are more manufactures to
employ labor and furnish sustenance
for lawyers. real estate agents and
other nOn-prOducers to live upon.
