THE great number of homeless and
orphaned children made such by the
Johnstown disaster has rendered it
necessary to make immediate provi-
sion for these helpless ones. To ac-
complish this work WATTS mission
has been organized by the Misses
Hinckly and Hancock. Before they
had been an hour on the scene of
death they had organized a bureau
for the reception of children and
babes that had been orphaned by the
flood. The press has done noble
work in making this mission known
and hundreds of little ones were
placed in their care within a few
hours after the mission was estab-
lished. New York Leak and Walls
orphanage telegraphed for twenty
five. In Cleveland, Pittsburg, Phila-
delphia, Altoona, indianapolis and in
all Pennsylvania towns messages
have been sent from institutions and
families offering to take charge of
some of these little ones and yet all
are not provided for. No episode of
the dark days of June, 1889, is more
touching than this; none that speaks
louder for the practical nature Of our
humanitarian efforts.

DRoPPERS, FEEDERS AND VARIATIONS.
When the shafts sunk by the rival parties
develop true fssure vein rich in ore, and
both are struggling to get deeper and the
controversy is long drawn out, the elements
of it partaBe of the humorous and the tragic
While smooth spoken gentlemen fight it out
in the courts above, and half ocular, half
devilish miners smoke each other out, the
toughest of the camp, like vultures attracted
by carrion, begin to gather around and fire.
quently take part in the fight. The noted
Bill Hickman, of Utah, once very placidly
offered his services to one claimant when 1
was present to raise band to clean out the
other parties. But this is generally the last
resort.
Men are slow to fight in the mine, for shots
fired in the narrow precincts of true fssure
crevice are very apt to hit something. Chi
cane is the most natural recourse. Some
! times a party which has the deepest work
| ings discovers that after all the vein is but
'gash vein," or ''dropper," or feeder"
or that it ends in a cap; in other words, it
has bottom and is of little value. Then
the party SO discovering Immediately becomes
anxious for a compromise, and still more
anxious not to let the other party know that
it is anxious. Then there is a great deal of
talk about the benefits of a compromise, the
beauties of Christian fellowship and peace.
Then one frequently hears such expressions as
What's the use of fighting all our lives2" or
st won't do any Of US any good; let's make an
offer to give and take" And it does some
times happen that when the party making
the offer has sold its claim at anything from
five thousand to five hundred thousand dol
lars, the other party goes ahead gleefully,
and in little while finds the ''claim" is not
the only thing that has been sold" But old
birds are not easily caught with chaff, and
proposition from the opposing party to COM
promise Immediately excites suspicion. 1t
is then that the highest talent of both sides
is called into requisition, and every man is
expected to stand by his fellows with more
than Spartan firmness and more than Ma
sonic secretiyeneSS.
In fact every man is under suspicion, not
only the employees in the suspected company,
but every man who associates with them;
every man who comes to the mining camp at
such a time Society is divided, politics are
| changed and in some cases the quarrel even
| goes into the churches and schools. A
/ stranger arriving in such town at such
time, especially if the mines are of such value
as to overshadow all others, as was the case
with the Dives and Pelican, Immediately be-
comes an object of interest. If he fingers
about that mine or is seen talking with
any of the parties he Immediately makes
acquaintance fast and thinks he has
got among the incest and cleverest set Of
/ gentlemen he ever saw. Countless invita-
tons TO drink are showered upon him, for u

the application of the same words TO personal
