THE MINE, FOUND 70 YEARS AGO
IN a WE'LL, TO BE DEVELOPED
BY RYAN, BARROWs, ISBELL &
ALLEN.

Already accounts have been published
far and wide regarding the lead mine in
Bethlehem, just over the line from Wood
bury, with statements of the vast guam
titles of lead and pockets of silver, be-
sides homeopathic doses of gold. A Bee
reporter visited the scene in order to as
certain the truth of the matter. He
found that the mine did exist and was to
be worked, but that the excitement so
graphically portrayed did not exist to
any great extent.

The NILE In An Countries.

Did you ever stop to think that all
countries do not use the same standard
for a mile that we do, and that we dc
not use those of all other countries,
and that if we did, what a badly
jumbled mess we would have2 Not
only the mile of the separate countries
differs greatly in the number of feel
and yards comprised, but those of the
same countries vary in different pro.
vinces. Thus the English mile differs
from the statute mile, and the French
have three sorts of leagues.
The English mile consists Of $3.50
feet, 1,760 yards, or 8 furlongs.
The Russian ''verst" is about three
quarters of an English mile.
The Scotch and Irish mile is about
one and a quarter English.
The Dutch, Spanish and Polish mile
is three and a half English.
The German mile is four times as

The famous old estate at South Yon-
been purchased by Archbishop Corrigan
as a site for a new Catholic seminary, the
erection Of which has for some time been
contemplated in this diocese. The estate
includes seventy acres, and was sold for
$7O,5 500. Ground for the seminary build
ings will be broken in q short time. The
main building will be erected first. 1t
will be Of stone, coo feet long by 200
deep, with accommodations for 900 stu
dents. 1t will stand upon the plateau,
800 feet above tide-water. with m outlook
in all directions, over the Hudson on the
west and across the sound to Long Island
On the east.
The seminary, when completed, will be
devoted exclusively TO the education of
priests, and will be an institution some
what on the model OF the Catholic uni
versity at Washington. 1t will turn out
graduates fully fitted for work without the
usual study abroad or other postgraduate
work. The institution will take the place
of the present college of Troy, the facili-
ties of which have long been outgrown.
The students at Troy will be removed to
South Yonkers as Don as the buildings
are ready, but that will not be for some
time, as they are to be constructed in the
most careful and substantial manner and
without any regard for speed. 1t is ex-
pected that the new college will draw
students not only from this diocese, but
from all the northern part of this country
and from Canada.

THE first setback received by the Wy
oming statehood movement came from an
interview with Springer, OF Illinois, the
leading member OF the committee on ter
%ritories. In speaking on the subject to
the Denver Republicans Washington cor
respondent he says: 1t is my opinion
that nc states will be admitted during this
session, although, Individually, | favor
the admission of all the territories at the
earliest time practicable.
He intimates that the trouble is to be
found in the fact that Idaho, New Mexico
and Arizona are c!amoring for admission,
and the influence back OF them is at least
sufficiently powerful to prevent the ad-
mission of any territory unless all come in.

TIE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT.
The Crawford law has done much to
improve and reform the ballot in this
city, says the Chicago Herald. Never
theless, while we have a nominally secret
ballot. at the same time we know that
there is very little that is secret about it.
A free ballot should be an absolutely Sc
cret ballot if the voter choose to have it
SO; but so long as the present system OF
voting is in vogue the ballot cannot be Sc
cret, aud there is practically an unlimited
opportunity for bribery and intimidation.
The most perfect system OF voting
that has been devised is the Australian.
BY this system the voter, when he
casts his ballot. is alone with his con-
science and the ballot box; there can be
no intimidation, and bribery would be a
waste Of money since the briber has no
means OF knowing whether the goods
have been delivered.
The people in the states that have adopt
ed the Australian system are satisfied with
it. 1t is time the SYSTEM were adopted in
Illinois, and the natter should be agi
tated now and until the next legislature
meets, so that that body will take tho
necessary steps for introducing that sys-
tenn in this state. A coerced or bribed
voter is a slave; under the Australian
system every voter is a freeman that
chooses to be such.
The constantly increasing popularity Of
the voting system added to its practical
bility marks it as being a movement in
the right direction for the legislature to
take at its coming session.
